"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..." - Dory

I may swim around in circles & circles & circles,
but I'll never swim away.


(:

& here's a goodbye to a rather sad Sunday. Today will be a better day. Even if it doesn't, I'll try to make the best out of it. 'Cause it's no use crying over the same thing over and over again, I guess. Something's gotta change. (:

There's no guarantee, but I'll try.

I'll try.

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out. (:

Integrate, or disintegrate?

My fingers are tired & kinda sore from all those smsing. Anyway, I'm having Math test tomorrow: Integration. I'd better be able to integrate properly tomorrow, or else I'll just disintegrate into pieces luh. But actually, this test isn't that bad. Looking on the bright side, the weightage of this test's just 4%. So even if I get more than 75%, it's merely a 3 out of 4 marks. & if, let's say (I said let's say) I scrape a hideous pass, it'll be 2 out of 4 marks. Not bad eh? Haha. Okay I'm just joking luh. I'll try my best to i n t e g r a t e luh! Alrights, I'm off to sleep now! Goodnight, world! (:

P.S. I like how the numbers turn out in Georgia font. So cute.

That kind of Sundays.

It's another beach-training-less Sunday. The good thing about it is: I can sleep late on Saturdays & not have to worry about waking up super early on Sunday mornings for training. But these kind of Sundays are really getting way too dull & unfruitful. Anyway, went on another bra spree today. The previous one was the Triumph warehouse sale. And now this one at Takashimaya, thanks to Daphne(: The colours are BRIGHT, & I like. :D

I'm still coughing. & I'm not supposed to do any exercise that will make my heartbeat accelerate. Rahh. So i missed PT yesterday. & I tell you, if I'm not going to recover within the next two days, I think I'll just grow fat luh. Imagine Xiaoying being a stupid fattie bombom who weighs like, what, 55kg. Wth. I can just jump off the building instantly. From where I live, it'll be a good 12 storeys down. Just nice. Dang. Look at me, I'm eating bread from Breadtalk & I've just finished a bottle of Vitagen whilst I'm typing all these. & I haven't even had dinner. I think Mummy is right luh. I'm going to be F-A-T. ):

Blahh. I want that kind of Sundays that will make me burn my calories under the sun. & not this kind, where all the fats will just be happily accumulating in my body. & very very fortunately, beach training's gonna resume on 1st October! Yes! (:

Sick.

cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough.

Dang. I hate being sick. ><

Oops, I'm sorry.

This sorry's for you.

I didn't greet you..
not because I forgot to,
not because my parents didn't teach me proper manners,
but just plainly because I didn't feel like it.

BUT
from now on, I'll greet you whenever I see you, whether I like it or not.
Because my parents taught me to respect my seniors and elders,
and not to be too self-centered.

Simplicity.

I've decided that for the time being, I'll use this Minima skin. Somehow, when things around me slowly turn complex, the simplicity of this skin attracted me. & I guess this skin will well be here till the matter's settled.

Suddenly, I just yearn for something called simplicity.
Things. People.
No jealousy, no conflicts, no false fronts, no tears.

Who's the bitch?

In your eyes, my contributions may mean nothing at all.
In your eyes, I may just be a bee-eye-tee-see-age.

Well, to be honest, I really did nothing that, in my opinion, might make you detest me so much.
Okay, let's just say this is entirely my own opinion.
I'm not trying to play victim here.
Of course, I believe you'll have your own reasons to justify your claim that I'm a bitch.

But just think about it.

If I really am a bitch, what are you then?

imy.

would you believe it if i said i miss you?

The joy that holidays bring.

This week spells H-O-L-I-D-A-Y-S! :D

// Tuesday.
After sooo long, I finally got to play badminton with Huabin & the rest. The last time we arranged to play badminton was almost a year ago. Haha. It was really fun, although I kept laughing & couldn't aim for the shuttlecock. Hee.

So my conclusion was: Xiaoying can only swim/run. She can't play badminton for nuts.

The captain was there too. Haha, Justin came down with Ellis. & then suddenly, it felt like a mini Yishun Gang gathering. I like that kind of togetherness I feel. Although recently there has been a little bit of insecurity felt amongst us 'cause everyone seems to be having their own agenda, but I'm sure Yishun Gang is a strong & close-knitted group & we won't ever let it crumble(: Right, Justin? (:

Anyway, after dinner, we played Blind Mice! Ohmygosh, I love that game luh, although I still can't quite figure out why the game's called Blind Mice & not Blind Cat or something. Since the catcher's supposed to close his eyes & not the players. Haha. It's great to be running round a playground after so long(:

// Wednesday.
Went to play pool again before training. & I won Leonard twice today! (with Daniel's incessant crapping & advice, & Joseph's occasional comments) Haha. Leonard! 1 Hershey pie ah! & Daniel owes me 1 Hershey pie too! For what reason, I can't really remember alr. Haha. xp Yup, & we saw Adrian & his friend just as we were leaving. Was quite surprised to see him there. Haha. Oh, & I bought a cute lil clip today for $1! ^^

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

& just now, Leonard was reprimanding me for being so cold/dao blahblahblah. Haha. If you want me to be in Auto mode like her, sorry luh. I don't think I can. Or maybe I can. Maybe it all depends on how I feel that day. Haha. Hiya I don't know luh. =p

Gonna go for a run tomorrow morningggg, or rather later. Dang. I just hope I can wake up later. Byebye, dear Wednesdayyyyyyyyyyyy.

Oh yeah, Little Man starts showing on Thursday! The trailer's alr so funny luh! I wanna watch! ><

The Pre-Holiday Week.

:Thursday:
On Thursday after Teachers' Day celebrations, Leonard, Melissa, Minhui & I headed to Marina Square to pool. The auntie wasn't as bad as she seems luh. At least she was nice to me. Hee. (:

* * * * * * *

:FRIDAY:
Firstly, it was, like what Minhui said, a bra spree! Went to Triumph's warehouse sale. It's exclusively for us girls. Hehs. ^^ Then POOOOOL at Toa Payoh! I actually lost to :) the first round cause the stupid black ball didn't wanna go in. =p But I won him back later on. Haha. Blehh. & WSAPIENS broke the Photohunt record there too. Heh. Go see!
After that, was lunching at Bugis. I love the waffle. Mmm. Haha. Then shopping. I was determined not to return home empty-handed. So, I bought a tee! & I love it! Thinking of buying another one soon. Hee. & luckily I found my "sperm" earring & got myself two pairs of earrings in the end.
Plus, an apple badge from someone. Haha, it's damn cute. I love it.
Thanks, :). It was really sweet. =)

:SATURDAY:



-New Balance Aquathlon Challenge @ East Coast -
Received a g'luck msg from :) early in the morn. Yewtuck wished me luck too. This was rather weird 'cause he seldom smses me. >< Melissa was the best luh. Came down personally to support Huabin. Lol. So sweet luh. =)



The waves at East Coast were really choppy & okay, maybe shiok's the word to use if I wasn't having a biathlon race that day? I was like bobbing up & down in the sea luh... Anyway, having not run for almost 2 whole months, I had "promised" (note the inverted commas =p) Huabin that I was gonna slack for my whole event. But in the end, I broke my promise. Haha. If I had really slacked, I bet Uncle Mus would have killed me luh! & I would have killed myself too. =\ Anyway, tag number 661 was second! Hee. & she's loving that new big red bottle. ^^

After that, I K'Oed on the bus. It was really nice sleeping on the bus. Haha. & then I continued sleeping after I got home. Didn't want to wake up for training cause my legs were aching like nobody's business. But since I alr promised Mingzhu auntie I would go, & I'm supposedly the one who wanted her to let Huabin & Huajian go for training, I got up & went for training.

& trust me, I was dying on the track with Huabin. The 10 rounds seemed like a tough feat for my legs. But I still completed what I was supposed to complete, plus accompanying Huabin for an additional round, even though we were the last two to finish. =)

After that was Captain's Ball & H20 polo! Yaye, I like luh. It's great to get away from just pure swimming + PT for training once in a while. ^^ Then pratas for supper, or rather dinner, @ Jalan Kayu. The ride on T-jian's lorry was fun! All of us looked like Bangla workers. Nah, just kiddin'. Hee.
