Sometimes I just wished that I had grown up a little older, so things would just go my way because "I'm old enough". A simple reason to counter difficult situations, but of course that's definitely against the natural order of how things work.

When I'm old enough, I would not get scolded just because I had stayed out late.

When I'm old enough, I can tell them of Heng Yi and not be so secretive because it's killing me.

When I'm old enough, I can wear make up and dress up nicely instead of the typical school dress code they subject me to. Mother tells me,"No, this one is too mature for you! Take this!" "No, you don't have breasts to fill these clothes." etc. Maybe I should swear by shirts and long pants someday soon.

When I'm old enough, I can go on trips without them restricting me. Can you believe it? Even a trip with Bryan and Kenneth (my childhood friends) got them so uptight, so how can I go elsewhere?

Just because I look small doesn't mean I'm immature. Im 19! Girls go out partying late into the night (that's not what I want) but I just want to illustrate the point that I'm still me. The old me from the secondary school days with just a wee bit more freedom. Why are they always emphasizing on academics, education and study? It's not like they fully understand RP's system, do they? Every weekend at home is practically cooping my brain up in a jail, where the guard has nothing else to say to the prisoner other than to study, study and study harder. Communication is one wonderful thing which our family never learned. Learning to control their raised voices and temper is a miracle that will never happen in a million years.

I wished we'd be on better terms, like a typical nice warm family, a nice sanctuary to return to. Haha, maybe I'm just sick of being treated "small" :]

Ok, great, guess what I've done now? I've signed up to be a part of Boulderactive '09. I'm not sure if I'm still in the right state of mind, signing up for a sport I'm not competent in, but yea, guess it is as they say- to have some fun and exposure. Moreover, the design of the singlet isn't too bad :] (that's 1 plus point)

The one point that detered me from joining was that no one I knew was joining. I mean, not literally, physically yes, there are people I know joining. But mentally speaking, or in the social sense, their presence seemed insignificant or rather a little disturbing. There is this one big problem that existed way before everything started and who knows if it can even be corrected. It annoys the hell out of me, but it seems the ones causing the problem are either obliviously ignorant of what is happening, or they are conveniently letting these little pesky problems slip by because the victim is anyone but themselves. You know? My English Teacher taught me something called "Basic Courtesy" that should be known to every single individual regardless of xxxxxx group. When you meet someone new in the group, the "middleman" introduces both party. When you have other xxxxx in the group, be the middleman.

But I guess they just love the exclusive rights given to them. Coveting it so much they refuse to share the joy with others. Great, I couldn't care less. Guess I would just cuddle my storybook and snuggle to sleep...


zzz...


O, if you guys want to, do drop by the open space of Velocity on this Friday from 1pm to 10pm to support me, though I doubt I would complete any routes. It might be a disappointing performance since I'm still rather rusty. Haha! :]

At last, I returned to the realm of the climbing peeps. After so long a break, training kind of had a great big impact on my fragile frame. (啊！人家娇小可爱吗！叫我真么能爬得好呢？~)

*撒娇 :x

"ARGH!"

"OUH!~"

Noises like that emanate from the dreadful bathroom singer.

Sit-up (with 5kg weights held at the back of my head), push-ups, leg raise (similarly with 5kg weights supported by my calf), + training...

Result: Intense muscle aches everywhere. You name it, I've got it. :x Arms, legs and even the butt (little bruises attained from an improper landing).

We ended a little late, so there wasn't much time to go over to Sim Lim Square to buy the battery. We then debated on where to have dinner- Bishan, Bugis or Yio Chu Kang. Babi said he left the choice to me, but IN FACT, he wanted to go to Bishan to eat Korean Rice Cake, haha, I saw through it all and just did him a favor, choosing Bishan as our next destination...

Anyway, we had this little bet going on. The prize: Wishes, or rather, when rephrased means something that the loser would have to do something for you :p

It started when we were waiting for Bus 171 to arrive. There was this Iris planner board which estimates the bus arrival time. I confidently told him that it would arrive in 3 mins time based on the Iris planner, but evidently, the system FAILED~!! He bet with me that it would arrive in 5 mins time, but the bus came LATE! It came 5-6 mins past my 3 mins estimation -.-'' Naturally, I lost. Lols! We continued this betting game even on the M.R.T., guessing how many people there will be in the last cabin. I said 25, and BINGO! haha, it was a 1 day event thing, a mini-competition, but Babi still won in the end :'[ Hehe, next time, I will beat you! It was fun, waiting, hopping on the train in anticipation that our guesses were correct as we counted the number of people on board.

Ok, back to Bishan, dinner consisted of Korean Cold Noodles instead of Rice Cakes for Babi. The Cold Noodles were refreshing; the noodle had a unique texture to it; the soup tasted light but heavy at the same time. Somehow it wasn't that good a flavor after drinking for a long time. How do you describe it? It is good the first few spoonfuls, but then you start getting tired drinking from the cold, thin metal bowl.

As for me, the normal healthy Yong Tau Foo, nothing much to elaborate on O.O

It is weird sometimes, when everyone's having sales, "BIG HUGE Bargains", "Great DISCOUNTS", but you don't find something you like. It is like when there is a huge mega shoes sale, but you aren't in the mood to shop for one. Babi's been looking around for a watch, but it seems despite the sales, those watches he liked didn't seem affordable even after the discount.

P.S. some guys who spoke like machine guns made a great impact on Heng Yi and I the day before. Why me? Hehe...

O

Lols, well, finally. And I will not fail to emphasize that in all due respects that I am at last FREED~! (of all undue pressure acting upon me)

Yo, baby, yo baby!

My holiday module has come to an end, and Clinical Trials has been pushed to the very deepest corner of my mind, somewhere of which its exact location is still unknown. I'm going to try and make the best of my break and get somewhere, do something worth the while.



Saturday, 7th March marked the start of SMU's Gravical Bouldering Competition. Babi took part in it and woohoo, he got the 12th placing in the MEN's INTERMEDIATE category! It was a really hot day that day, with the sun shining mercilessly nonetheless... But yeah, that wasn't the main point.

There were 4 routes in total to be completed by the Intermediate Men. The first 2 routes needed more of technique I guess. The tiles, or as some would refer to as the "rocks", were hard to grip. There was one pincher which was really hard to grasp. But at least the Babi managed to touch the Bonus tile!! WooHoo! Then the last 2 routes were rather interestingly set. It required good execution of moves and dynamic power to complete. It was kind of height-biased, or so I might add. Not very favorable for shorties like me :x While the other climbers had to jump a little from the previous tile, the Babi easily got through that stage by merely reaching out his long arms across the overhang -.-'' I was so "awed" by his extended arm. Thanks, if only I had that pair of arms, I'd sail through my Novice Women's Competition. The second last route was a "sloppy" route- full of slopers. In case some of you are wondering, slopers are those shaped like- crudely put brxxxxts (so now do you get the idea), which is a test of a climber's contact strength. Babi breezed through it, its no wonder, why? Don't ask me why? Isn't he the dirty-minded young man? Hehe :x He flashed that route. The last one too :] Impressive.

Result: 12/ 21 placing.

Not bad for a novice intermediate :D + He's my Babi! So GOOD!! JIAYOUS in your Boulderactive!!

O, by the way, after the competition, we went to Heeren, there was this little games corner at HMV, we played StreetFighter. Guess what? Babi chose Akuma to fight and lost one round. I took over and won two rounds. Hehe, what's more, I had no tactics. My strategy was to frantically hit any buttons found on the controller. HAHA! Girls are better at fighting games than guys think we suck :x

Songs like “Welcome to My Life”, not forgetting the sentence, “I just wanna scream~, how could this happen to me?” that scheduled itself on the “loop” mode, those songs seem to mock at my life and I.

Haha!

*Abridged version

Sidetracking, does anyone know of a good place to scream but no one cares and listens? Just a random question :]

Debra and Jian Hui made it to the "Rolls of Honor", WOOHOO! Congratz!

Jing too. Guess he really was that good with his I.T. stuffs. Thought that emo-ness got in the way of his studies but woa, I got to admit, he really is good with his I.T.. Moreover, he was the one who helped me tide over my V.B. crisis during my Year One days.
*Giving my silent thanks here.

Anyway, we went to Orchard the day before. We ate at Carl's Jr..
