Vivien's chalet was awesomeee they taught me mahjong! No wonder those old women spend all their time playing this game. It's pretty addictive once you get the hang of it, and we stayed up till 4am playing mahjong heh.

Teri taught me poker too. I think Teri's some gambling queen or something, she seems to be so good at these games! Oh but my luck obviously sucks, because I lost every single round of poker and became bankrupt about 6 times. At least I have a good poker face!

Lady Luck hates me though D:

We played Bridge too and YES FINALLY something I can win at. I'm seriously contemplating joining Bridge Club or smth in rj.

NEED. TO. LOSE. WEIGHT. ARGH.

In 2008 when seniors were telling me how they dread going to jc, I dismissed their complaints as mindless nonsense. I mean, what's the big deal about going to jc? The same people will be moving up with you in any case. Aside from 'minor' differences like a completely different campus, an extra 800+ people in your batch, it's basically just like moving up from sec 3 to sec 4.

Now I see what they mean.

It's the 3rd of January now, and in 10 days we'll have to go for the open house or something. Sigh going to jc sounds really scary now.

(Not as scary as it's gonna be for ** girls who decide to go to RJ instead of staying in their own cheena land, believe me.)

Can't believe I'm saying this but I actually miss RGS -insert emoticon for shock/horror-.

Ah whatever, Patrick Jane in The Mentalist - Simon Baker (Y).

title: RHYME TIME
date: Friday, January 01, 2010
time:6:56 PM

2009 was a cornucopia of both good and bad memories.

(Okay I'm falling asleep writing this already so I'm gonna try to rhyme instead. A lot easier than writing a long sentimental post, surprisingly.)

2009 started with lots of parties

Yunrui's, Trisha's, Vivien's all in January

We had lots of cake and lots of cheese

We put on tons of jewellery.

My birthday party, in February
Held at my home and at Raffles Town Club

It was the 16th year of my journey

I had more fun than you would at a pub.

March came by and along came tramp comp

We knew it was like a ticking bomb

We trained so hard, but the judges were bought (over by __)

In the end, our hard work was for naught.

(We came in 3rd.)

In April I had my first go at diving

It was difficult, it wasn't like singing

Somehow I'm still training with the team

Maybe it's because I love their beam (:

June was the month we started training hard

We improved a lot, we weren't retards

Later in October, we went to Macau

For our very first competition, but my dives died kapow.

EOYs came and left me half dead

I was busy studying, I couldn't go to bed

I should have started earlier, but I'm too lazy

Hopefully in 2010 I won't go crazy.

Along came November, the diving team went to Penang

We played, we trained, we had so much fun Tim sang

Fireflies, ABC, and We Are Golden,

We laughed so much at him our cheeks felt broken.

December meant two trainings a day

We were so tired we had no time to play

We did, however, set time for a party

Celebrating Christmas, we had so much glee.

This year has been difficult, this year has been tough

This year has been stressful, this year has been rough

We've all gone through another year of our lives

We've made it through, give each other hi-fives!

It's now the new year, Jan 2010

We're many shades darker, we have a great tan

SOME PEOPLE call me "Siti", some people call me "maid"

But it's okay, I'll forgive and not hate.

My resolutions for this year is to have lots of fun,

Of course I'll still have to train in the sun

To become a good diver, we'll have to sacrifice

A great amount of time, and lots of rice.

That's because I need to lose some weight

4kg by February, I'll look great

Maybe I'll rip better, maybe I'll create less splash

So I'm staying away from all kinds of hash (browns).

I will also study harder in rjc

To do well for promos, it's not easy

If I get into the dean's list it'll be a miracle

That will be the day I can draw perfect circles.

To be nicer, to be kinder, that's my aim

I won't be sarcastic, I won't be a pain

I'll be more tolerant, I won't lose my temper

Hopefully not, till maybe December.

That's about it, my new year's resolutions

Simple but challenging, I'll need solutions

To keep to these things, I'll try my best

I know that God will do the rest.

So here's a shoutout to all of you

Myra Chloe Tim Xinmin Ari Kim Enyun

Huiru Damien Orla Darryl and Melanie

All of you are hilariously funny.

RGS Gym, my dear juniors

Teo especially, a great teacher

Joel Clement and Travis Nathaniel

I can't believe Ryan listened to me and chose 'Nathaniel'.

(Can't find anything else that rhymes with 'Nathaniel')

2009 has been awesome, kudos to all of you

Thank you everyone, for being great friends

I love you all, happy 2010!

I'd normally write an end-of-year reflection post but I'm too tired right now so :/ It's past midnight anyway. I'll save that post for later today.

2009 hasn't been all that smooth-sailing, but it was the year I got to meet and know many awesome people who are now some of my closest friends.

Although 2010's gonna be scary, difficult, and Lord knows what else, I like how the beginning of a new year indicates hope.

So here's to another amazing 365 days. Happy 2010, everyone.

I can't believe Sezairi won SI. Sylvia is completely in a league of her own that's way, way above Sezairi's and she deserves the title a lot more than he does.

Urrgh never gonna watch the crap show they call Singapore Idol again. Except maybe the auditions, to laugh at all the insane people heh.

Sylvia's rendition of Mercy was really, really awesome. Her past performances (in previous episodes) of Sarah McLachlan's Angel and Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love were 2 of my favourites too.

RARGH annoying I wanted her to win so badly ):

Charice Pempengco is amazing though. She's only 17 and her voice is whoaaa. Almost as good as Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and Mariah Carey.

Trainings are scary now ): Every single morning training we're (I'm) doing scary stuff sigh. And double sigh Dr Cormac kinda (unintentionally) freaked me out about my knee. He said something about some inflammation or swelling in the knee/joint area, and that the bone isn't in its correct position, i.e. directly underneath my knee cap.

And triple sigh it actually hurts. I thought I was imagining the pain or something but the ultrasound doesn't lie.

Now I have to take pills to ease the swelling. When I'm 60 I'm going to be in a lot of pain D:

All of us seem to have an injury somewhere. Chloe's shoulder is injured, Ari and Tim both have injured tail bones/butt, Myra has an injured thumb, Xinmin has an injured ankle, and I have an injured knee.

Speaking of injuries, Tim's turn in the rig today was EPIC. EPIC with a capital everythinggg hahahahaha he didn't spin his double forward pike fast enough, and somehow got the rope in between his legs. To prevent him from landing on his head against the crash mat, Orla pulled the rope UP, so uh the rope between his legs went up too HAHAHAH.

We laughed for a good 15 minutes when he stumbled off the crash mat, clutching his ass and practically crying "MY NUTS MY NUTS" HAHAHAHA.

Freaking epic omgggg.

He stands there then walks away

My God if I could only say

I'm holding every breath for you

He'd never tell you but he can play the guitar

I think he can see through everything but my heart

First thought when I wake up is "My God, he's beautiful"

So I put on my make up and pray for a miracle

Yes I could tell you his favourite colour's green

He loves to argue oh and it kills me

His sister's beautiful he has his father's eyes

And if you asked me if I love him

If you ask me if I love him, I'd lie;

Midnight mass was cool, way too literally in fact. We were freezing our butts off sitting directly under the air con D: The celebrant was Father John, ergo I didn't understand half the sermon whoops :/

After mass it was basically hugs, wishes, handshakes, more hugs, gift-exchanges, hugs again. So much love you'd think it was Valentine's Day.

I'm pretty glad that a non-Catholic friend attended the mass too (by himself in fact!) :D It's great to see people like them wanting to experience the joy of Christmas.

Somehow this year's Christmas doesn't really feel like a proper Christmas. It still feels like a week before Christmas or something. I don't really know what's with me but I'm usually pretty happy/excited/psyched during the Christmas season. This one feels so differenttt!

Had supper with Andrea Justin Ryan Bong BryanLum DanielLee Ivan Petra and we stayed out till past 3am at Hongkong Cafe haha! I realised how much I miss all of them. The jokes (homg Ryan Justin Ivan -.-), retardedness (Bong), camwhoring (ANDREA DUH) etc etc. Awesome fun yeaaaah (:

Seeing is believing

So why are we passing up on chances?

Merry Christmas, everyone.

It's Christmas Eve!

Training was majorly slack this morning thanks to the pouring rain (we still trained anyway). So I basically did back lays and more back lays and back lay twists on 1m (: No 3m yeaaah!

Tim's mom wanted him to cut his hair and she showed us pictures of TOM DALEY HAHA. We convinced Tim to cut his hair by telling him that he might rip better/dive better if he sports a hairstyle like Tom's :D It worked!

Oh and the retarded boy dived with his red santa hat and red trunks -.- It did look kinda wrong, the combination of a red santa hat and red trunks, but Tim's way too innocent to realise that hahaha.

Myra Chloe and I went to Chloe's house after morning training and we watched Wedding Crashers with Clement! We wanted to watch You've Got Mail after that but we ended up falling asleep. Crashing on Chloe's sofa = awesome.

ENYUN come back to Singapore already we miss you so much ):

David Cook's Come Back To Me is ♥

My current top few television shows include: Hannah Montana (guilty pleasure - I hate Miley Cyrus but EMILY OSMENT IS AWESOME), The Suite Life of Zac and Cody/The Suite Life On Deck, Wizards of Waverly Place, The Mentalist (SIMON BAKER!!), and House (HUGH LAURIEEE).

Anyway. The past few trainings have been killer since we're just learning more and more new dives. Which means more and more splats. Which can be translated to mean more bruises.

But the Christmas party at Chloe's was great (((: With the exception of Tim, the rest of us stayed over at her place and I think we slept at what, 3am? Movie marathon whooo.

THANK YOU MYRA (and everyone else) FOR THE AWESOME HEADPHONES ♥

I wanna watch Bride Wars now, cause we watched about 20 minutes of it at Chloe's place until the DVD went haywire.

Other than somewhat successfully completing 2 1/2 inward somersaults on 3m, each day is getting from bad to worse.

Sometimes when people fall apart there's really nothing you can do about it.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Tim and I should celebrate our completion of 70 "china-man" hurdle steps within 80 minutes D: Orla made us do hurdle step straight jumps for the entire 1 hour and 20 minutes and we almost went bonkers trying to finish them rahhh.

Hopefully they were calorie-burning too haha :D

But now my right knee feels like it can never return back to its original, normal position. And I scraped the bottom of my foot badly.

Sigh, at least my hurdle step work improved. Actually they improved LOADS. Looks like the China-diver method of training actually works well!

70 HURDLES, they sound so little! And they felt more like 200.

And I'm probably doing inward 2 1/2 tomorrow, wish me luckkk. I'm gonna pray to God to protect my head from hitting the board, and to protect the rest of my body from splatting on the water.

Oh speaking of splats, I did back doubles today on 1m! Quite fun, in a sadistic kind of way hehheh.

In other news, Christmas is comingggg I usually hate it when people say that cause it would mean that school's reopening soon but YAY J1 NEXT YEAR, THEREFORE SCHOOL STARTS LATE.

Omg, I just realised how old I am. J1, next year. I'M TURNING 17 IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS NOO ): 16 is a very pretty number.

Oh and I'll let you go

I'll set you free

And when you see what you need to see

When you find you

Come back to me

And I hope you find

Everything that you need

I'll be right here waiting to see

You find you

Come back to me;

No fair, everyone's overseas having fun and I'm stuck in Singapore (specifically - Toa Payoh Swimming Complex) training ): DEANNA and YUNRUI are going to Hongkong with their family/friends TOGETHER, while Jo, Trisha, Vivien etc are going to TAIWAN together.

And I'm in the pool, training.

Yeah yeah it's my prerogative but mehh. At least there's the parties to look forward to!

(The worst part is that we train so hard but somehow the calories are NOT LEAVING OUR BODIES.)

Speaking of calories, the Alpen light yoghurt bars are really, really good. And they're less than 70 calories too!

Yay can't wait we're doing a collage for Orla as her christmas present and I get to shop at Made With Love for it :D :D :D

The thought of walking into Made With Love alone excites me already, let alone knowing that I'm gonna walk out of the shop WITH STUFF.

HO BOY, SUPER PSYCHED UP NOW (:

On another note, the line up of today's tv shows was awesome. There was Oprah Winfrey on Hallmark, Desperate Housewives on some other channel I forgot, SYTYCD on AXN, The Mentalist (!!!) on Channel 5, and The Suite Life On Deck and Hannah Montana on Disney channel.

Too bad Wizards of Waverly Place wasn't right after Hannah Montana :/

OKAY TIME TA SLEEP, training at 8 again tomorrow siiigh. Love the team though ♥

MADE WITH LOVE ♥

Here's a song for the nights
I think too much and
Here's a song when I imagine us together
Here's a song for when we talk too much
And I forget my words

Heaven can wait up high in the sky
It's you and I
Heaven can wait deep down in your eyes
I'm yours tonight
Lay your heart next to mine
I feel so alive
Tell me you want me to stay, forever
'Cause heaven can wait;
