A new chapter is beginning...

TEAM RAFFLES 13-6 NAT U18
TEAM RAFFLES 12-7 COMBINED POLY

hahaha we totally rock! we started off by losing to nat u20 by the score of 4-7, which was very close but in the end we screwed it up. haha i never play that match la cos yihong was there to play the whole match so in the end i just slack one side and watch. how boring! then the next match was against safsa, which i ponned to go sailing training, and they didnt have a keeper so they got slaughtered 21-5! hahaha alex and kennard had to alternate as keepers. hahahaha

then yesterday we played nat u18 and i had to go down and play the entire match. haha i was like really really nervous cos my job was kinda hanging on the line, cos they might dsa a keeper and i really had to put in a fantastic performance to prove my own worth. haha i think i did quite well in the match saved quite a few shots and did myself justice la, and saved a one on one too! hahahah played well la maybe that helped me to retain my job a little... seetow for keeper! anyway its quite ironic that the national u18 team can lose to team raffles whose oldest player is 18 years old and most of us are 16. haha :D

haha today we played combined poly who had the 3 national players in their side, but one of them didnt come. hahaha anyway i think byron is like damn damn damn pro omg i aspire to be like him sia! hahaha hes like really damn pro keeper one on one from wing cannot score against him one! haaha then in the third quarter he came out and played centreman and scored a hell lot of goals omg he is damn pro! ahaha i played two quarters here and not bad la, and i turned a guy from combined poly! we both chiong for the ball i reach first then i turn him omg so fun!



and let me blog about the GEMS camp. i think it was a great experience for me la, not only because of what i learnt there, but because of the friendships and the bonds that i built with others at the camp. hahaha i fit in very well with my cluster and i think we were the most bonded cluster among all the 6 that were there. (actually only got 5 clusters but the 6th cluster is special cluster sia) hahhah

first day was more of introducing us into the GEMS movement and allowing us to get to know our group members more. haha my cluster rocks la everyone is so fun! and our facilitators ally and leonad were both so full of laughter and energy too it kinda infected us all too. haha then day 2 was more of preparing us for the activities in the rest of the days and getting our cluster to work together. and i won a pair of GV movie ticket vouchers! yay! third day was our trip to orchard and we all had alot of fun! our cluster was split into 2 groups and in the end our group won best group award! everyone in the group got 30 bucks starbucks vouchers hahaha and we're going to share wtih our cluster tomorrow! awww so nice. :D

haha then fourth day was our work attachment and i was attached to tangs. it was quite an enriching experience la cos i kinda got to experience the service sector and it taught me quite abit. haha going out of the comfort zone and learning new things lor. then after that we had to get back to republic poly and have buffet dinner then go and prepare some stuff for funfair the next day. hahah stayed till past 10pm then had to go home. hahaha still enjoyed my time there with all of them preparing those materials for the funfair. cluster spirit! and my face appeared in the newspaper sia. hahah

fifth day was the finale, so we all had to go and prepare and guest of honour was grace fu. haha how graceful. okay nevermind! hahaha we had alot of fun talking, enjoying the performance, and i posted some cheem question to the guest of honour just to waste some time so that our funfair doesnt have to be so long. (cos ithought we werent very well prepared) haha then after that we sorta had like a small celebration and had to do alot of crap our cluster were forced to do the banana dance which we didnt do very well la. haha after it all we gave leoand and ally thank you cards (which i bought, thank you very much) and it moved leonad to cry because he was damn touched! hahaha awww :P touching moment for all

hahaha so our journey reached its conclusion here, but hopefully, the bonds that we forged during these 5 days have just been reinforced and will hold for years and years to come. hahaahh the camp rocked!

haha and about sailing, relax la the "oi" on the tagboard. hahaha im kididng only! lol the ij girls all win me sia, even if i cheat and dont round the mark HAHAHA i slack slack slack go nationals i will also slack la. they dont call me the suicide bomber for nothing right! hahaha i know specifically what my job at nationals is la, what i have to do to win ri the gold! haha relax relax man, i think ij girls damn funny. hahah

last training i went, which was tuesday, it was quite fun la, cos there wasnt wind at all so we rigged up our boats and went to slack, like play soccer. then after that we had to do pt which contained alot of pushups and phantom chairs and some hike out drill la hahha but i only did the hike out drill cos i told jiaolian i got competition the next day dont want my muscles to ache mah. hahaah so i laughed at all the guysa nd girls while they were doing and i think everyone hates me for that! :'(

haha then after doing all that pt the wind picked up and jiaolian forced us all to go out. haha the one stop centre guys told us not to go out because it was cat 1 already but jiaolian still forced us to go out. so naturally, i was damn scared. (haha i damn lousy lei) so i saw like the kayakers were coming back so i went to help them recover their boats and slacked off alot of training while the wind was damn strong. hahah ernest and chaixun slacked with me till jiaolian came back then we had to launch with the girls lor. hahaha slack la, slack la!

then after training we came back to shore then jiaolian made all those who launched late have to do 100 pushups! haha but i didnt have to do cos i had competition the next day. haha im some number 1 slacker la no one can beat me! heehee

and after bathing and changing we wanted to get out of saf changi clubhouse but the road outside had a fatal accident! hahah so we couldnt get a lift from anyone at all. so in the end we ri guys had a very brilliant idea, which was to WALK OUT. haah so we walked, and walked, and walked, and walked for about an hour before the cars all cleared and we were like okay wtf hahaha everyone tired already. hahah well at least the girls were singing some songs so that helped to alleviate the fatigue a little... hahahaha then we just sat down at the road side like mangkalis and all of us disbanded and 5 of us had to get to bishan so we waited very patiently for a cab to agree to take 5 people. haha some idiot driver wanted to take us if we paid 50% extra. HAHA SCREW OFF! anyway we found a nice taxi driver and took a cab to bishan, got a little something to eat and went home. hahah woah damn tired.

haha then i wore my ankle out damn badly on tuesday that the match on wednesday against nat u18s i couldnt jump very high cos my right ankle was damn pain. haha but i still played well la hahaha and im damn happy i played well! in front of saimeng too, whos gonna be our rj coach next year. so i hope i left a favourable impression... :D my job depends on it!

haha and thats all from me.. NYP tomorrow!
