Cheer prac again today, it's really getting very scary how close we are to the competition date, and I really feel so unprepared and unconfident of our chances; of our standard. WenYing said that there was a time where we'd reach our peak, and then our standard would just detoriate from there; I don't know, but I think our peak might be over, what with H1N1 and Sports Fest being so late originally due to SYFs and competitions. But we've all put in a lot of work for this, all the early Saturday mornings, drilling drilling and drilling; I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't give this my all in the last two weeks we have for this awesome routine.
I don't think I did very well today; I screwed up for some parts, and I slacked off a bit because I, well, I was just tired. And now after that whole paragraph, it's really hitting me that this is NOT the amount of effort I should be putting in; after all we've done, the effort I put in today wouldn't have proved anything. And today we got news, bad news really, and I feel kind of.. bad that the news was like that. I'm really going to have to work much harder, really.
On a happier note, I really loved this week, as quickly as it passed. I didn't really go into much detail in my previous post by I don't know how many (Have you realised how I might abandon my blog for a few days and go on a major spree when I do come back?)
On Monday CSI was in the morning, left the house later than I should have, and reached about 20 minutes late after wandering the 3rd and 4th floors of Block A trying to find the Dry Lab until I decided to check the 2nd floor and found it ): Felt kind of bad actually, walking in late, until I realised that some people didn't even go since they had other commitments / didn't want to :D CSI videos were really amusing, makes ours look so FAIL, especially with the last-minute technical error ): But we all put in a lot of effort (and food) into making that video, and it does look kinda great if you look at it... like that (squints eyes and tilts head).
Left a little early, didn't see Jocie, HanJun, Kibs, etc.'s video /: Lunched with Amelia at Subway, she made me stand in the queue but it didn't seem very long since I spent the entire time sending and receiving weird messages from her (I love unlimited ♥) Amelia had to rush off and meet her RS group after that, so we bought Milk Tea first and left, her to Toa Payoh and I back to RGS, in which I received a very angry call from WeiYi wanting to know where I am ): So when I reached there I purposely placed my Milk Tea very strategically behind my bag so that they wouldn't see and complain more :D
Went into the guides room where WeiYi Hanin Kim and Alicia was, and Kim started asking me to think of my own punishment since I came late, and according to Alicia (I never knew she could see so well) "didn't even buy us Milk Tea!" Taking stock is actually way funner than I expected, though I still really hate twine and silverfish. Took stock in an awesome.. four hours I think, with
no pressure at all, eh?
Hanin Kim Alicia left after that, and WeiYi and I went to Slice of Ice to eat, um, ice. I think the _______(insert some Asian country, Korea/China/Japan? I forgot which, they come up with everything) are really smart, they make ICE look good. And taste good.
Tuesday was really my only free day, sat around and slacked and used the computer excessively. While that might be enjoyable and all, I think I really like to do stuff, haha.
Wednesday was
JOCIE'S BIRTHDAY SURPRISE as I said before, went there at 7.30 to bake Amelia's cake which really ended up looking like bread. But the
bread cake wasn't made on time so we presented Jocie with another very pretty cake, Amelia's D&T Cake! I think I said this before, but nevermind, good things deserve to be repeated! (no, not your cake, Amelia, the surprise :D) Laura came up with the boxes, thank you so much Laura ♥ Thanks for sacrificing CAP Primary and making the time to come down and celebrate with us :) Camwhored awesomely (and fail-ly at the same time, we're so pro we can do both 8D) I think I'm going to start albums in my computer (well actually not my computer, since I'll only have one when it's finally repaired/I get a new one) of every event, and fill it full with photos koped from everywhere :)
We spent the rest of the time talking about really everything, it felt really good to be able to come and talk and not have any worries other than ____________ (sorry, yes, my blog isn't privatised), and be able to, I don't know, just let go, sort of. Jocie asked after if I thought we'd ever run out of things to say, and we both agree we'd never come to a conclusion so :D
Right now I'm surfing DIY sites for AA Presents, omg, they're all so really pretty and I don't know if I'd be able to make them O:
Thursday was Cheer Prac! Just the Sec3s except Diane, and me, since Diane was overseas and Crystal was at Squash ): Went to Wheelock after that to try and get my charger changed, but the saleswoman/person/assistant said I had to go to a SingTel shop instead, so I just walked around without really knowing where I was going, since I was smsing mostly. Went up and down escalators 'cos I kept going wrong places, and cocky Borders employees just stared at me weirdly with that "I'm sure you can't afford this" when I accidentally walked into the Border's Cafe, which had no menu by the way O: Left Wheelock and walked around ON MY OWN, haha, it felt weird but also unexpectedly.. pleasant, in a way. Thought I'd die of boredom or something, but my SMS-ees must have been entertaining :D Went home after that, and picked my dad up from the airport :D
Friday was Cheer Prac again! At the Gym, since the Dance Studio was locked. Arts Fest people came in halfway and stole half the gym, but it was very amusing to see them go Ting Geok Hong or something like that again and again xD
I'm really tired now O: And it's only like, nine. Really can't wait for the exams to be over /:
