long long ago.

gosh.its July alr!and my last post was 10 june!sorry for not updating dear blog.haha.was lazy to even log in at times.

well, now that i have abit of time to spare.shall attempt to write some of the most impt events that happened to me in June till now!sit back,relax and enjoy!=)

remember to look at something distant or something green for a few minutes after staring at the computer screen after half an hour alrite!take good care of your eyes!

AYG
alrites!this is something new and exciting that happened in my life. i got the chance to take part in the opening ceremony of the 1st Singapore Asian Youth Games!yippee!my friend melvin needed skaters and asked me if i was interested.i knew it was too irresistable an offer to reject.so on wednesday, 24 june 2009, i went for my first rehersal. was new to all the other skaters because they all knew each other before that. they were trainers from Singapore Inline skating school!whoaaa.these guys and girls are really pro skaters. i took my hat off to them while i saw them skating.kinda made me feel inferior. here i was supposed to perform in the AYG ceremony when all i had were trainer skates!hahaha.those that had the brakes in them.so NOOB!all the others had like blades WITHOUT BRAKES!coz they could do the T-brake.i could do it too.but fumbling alittle.and yes.did i mention i felt like a noob with my old school blades?i bought them when i was in sec 2!can u imagine that!!!!learnt to skate better during the rehersals and i learnt how to blade in a circle!=)weeee.

and on the day of the full dress rehersal, my good ole blades had to break the first strap of the blades!leaving me unable to wear them further!i was so pai seh, but thank God my friend lent me her blades.the PRO ONES!and yes, u can guess, they came WITHOUT BRAKES!haha.they were so much lighter!i could hop around in them!i was given the role of the one skating out to the middle and lying down waitin to be "killed".oops.take it back.waiting for my friend to jump over me. suffered a few bruises because my cool blader friend "decided" to only jump when they hit me.so i suffered la!haha.but they were all sooo good!jumping over 5 bodies!gosh.i wish i could do it.

on the day of the openin ceremony, we all got psyched up for the grand opening of our show. it was a flop.not on our part. the organisers last minute told us they had been giving us the wrong music all this time to practice on. we now officially had an additional 12 seconds to do something!my leader michael went crazy. he was so mad with them.but nothing we could do. all we had to do was to think of something to do for the 12 seconds. the kids at bendemeer and bukit panjang had practised for too long to try out new stuff. so my boss, gathered his lil kids and they did the extra 12 secs!phew.

crowd was disappointing, im sure many of u have read the reviews on the newspaper. the poor emcees were tryin to make the crowd cheer, but sad to say, their voices on the mike were so much louder than the crowd.so much for the supposed 7000 crowd present at the opening ceremony.so little publicity was given.even my friends didnt know there was an AYG opening ceremony when i told them i was involved. they only started advertising for it on saturday, probably after they received the footage from the full dress rehersal on friday!

the best and most memorable part of the opening ceremony!!?!?the 2 most pro skaters who bravely jumped over 5 bodies were not captured on camera!gosh. the camera man had to move his filming over to the dancers who were just coming up for the next performance. whats there to see when the dancers hadnt started their dance yet?the fireworks on the bladers lighted up so late that the whole performance was delayed. probably causing the cameraman to shift his attention as well. and best part. i couldnt see myself on tv.haha.not that i was dying to be.but at least a glimpse would have been interesting=)and yes. it was a huge disappointment for us!but through this, i made many new friends, and reignited my love for skating. new blades here i come!this time without the brakes=)

FLEA MARKET
had my very first flea market on saturday!=)went with 1/4 of my wardrobe excitedly with keshin to get rid of them. the venue was sweltering with heat!the air conditioners couldnt work coz the crowd was way too big.good for them and us, but bad coz everyone was perspiring like mad. i managed to sell off close to $100 of my 2nd hand clothes!=)very very happy!looking forward to more shopping in BANGKOK!cant wait for the nxt flea market!haha.

and speaking of fleas, my next topic.

STUPID ELLIOT'S TICKS
spent the past few days removing ticks from ELLIOT.gosh.the amount of ticks he had, i believe could cover his whole body one shot!poor boy. only we were capable of removing them.hada pinch the bodies and just pull it out.along with abit of Elliot's hair.haha.i hate them.those horrible bloodsuckers.jansen and i had a fine time removing them yesterday!got rid of so many, we didnt feel like counting them anymore.i wonder how it feels like to have so many ticks on your body?hmmm.

MUAY THAI COMP
didnt get to take part in my muay thai comp which i had trained and waited impatiently for almost a year!!!=(due to the horrible fall i had in school 2 weeks ago. left my left shin and right thigh horribly bruised!so bruised that everyone almost died when they saw it. my shin was swollen, my ankle was affected as well. sad sad sad.but NUS won overall for the school championship!so happy for them=)looks like i got 1 more year of training at least!=)

ROCKMASTER
didnt do very well for my last bouldering comp!didnt have a good chance to train coz of work and my stupid finger injury from pumpfest. and so wasnt hoping for much.but i have to admit the walls were big and beautiful!

HANDPHONE DYING
and yes, my poor samsung D900 which is almost 4 years old is dying. its lifespan is less than one day!gosh.i apologise for not being able to return smses and calls because very often, my phone dies when im out!so if i dont reply u! or reply u real late. time for you to get me a new phone=)haha
