Its a long time since someone posted here!

Hello!

2007-08-18T16:32:00.001-07:00

I haven't blogged here in a while, coz I am in the process of moving everything to my new blog, but I think I will have more time in the coming weeks. The german course just ended and I am really free to do what I want, to explore Innsbruck and everything. I wish everyone was here though, coz I have enough plates, cups, pots, pasta, sugar, salt, ingredients, desserts to throw a big big party. Oh I have bubbly too. Yah, party food but no people to party with. Its schade. Oh wells, I miss Singapore lots, esp the cheap food, coz my pasta sucks and it costs too much to eat out all the time.

Also, bis nachtests mal. Schreib mir mehr Emails bitte. Dänke Schön! Ciao!

<3 AC Ultimate

2007-08-02T15:07:00.000-07:00

I just went for gelato in the Altstadt until like 1137pm. Its been really nice so far. The people here are all really friendly and stuff. But what I really want to say is... I was having this conversation with this girl from London (she has a really posh british accent) and she was telling me how much she missed people. And I was telling how much I missed people in Singapore too. And I was telling her how badly (and embarrassingly) I was crying my eyes out at the airport. And as I said that, I felt emo Choi coming again all over again. And before gelato, there was a 16 year old polish girl who came to use my comp, and she was saying how much she missed home. And I totally understood how she was feeling, and I showed her a few photos, and while I did that I felt emo me emerge again.

I think that yeah I will find new friends. And I will get used to life in Innsbruck. And it will be good and not bad and not as scary as I thought. But then, I will always miss everyone back in Sg.

I think, by the time its for me to go back to SG, I would have left little little bits of my heart all over europe with my new friends. But the biggest and most important part of me will always be with AC Ultimate. I lub AC Ultimate lots lots lots. I actually draw layout mans among the random stuff I draw during german class. (so much of paying attention in class)

I really really miss everyone lots lots. <3 <3 <3

stick together :)

2007-08-02T02:45:00.000-07:00

banananananana.

some things are just not fair. but its how we deal with it that matters. you guys will get through this, just as you got through interjc. this unfair-ness, not being appreciated-ness... although its not fair, it will make you guys closer, closer as a team... when you guys played... you did it for God, for the school, for each other. the tears, blood, sweat you shed.. is not in vain... all of you will have good memories to take away.. something that changes your life... the school not allowing you to go on stage and screen a video... so what? these are but materialistic things... the victory was sweet, the victory is in each and every of your hearts... so dont be bitter about it, or at least try not to.... stick by each other, study together... stick by suli and support each other through this unfairness. oh, and when you throw in the driveway, try not to hit joel mak's car.... ;)

i miss you all dearly

miss choi... australia and austria only have a difference of 'al'

but so near yet so far.

hugs all of you.

i need to go and muggg....

gonna try hucking to austria.... UPPPPPPP!!!!!

Hallo! Ciao!

2007-08-01T15:40:00.000-07:00

I am worried I am gonna come back to Singapore with some strange accent. Coz everyone around me speaks english with italian accent or spanish accent or bosnian accent or german or austrian. I really hope not but i got a feeling that i might. Coz if i speak my normal english they dont understand. Its strange. Seems like normal clear english is harder to understand than if i speak it with an italian accent. (i mainly hang around japanese girl and italian girl+ her boyfriend)

But at least they are all nice people.

Talk to me please. Keep me sane. Keep me myself. I don't want to become some pseudo european.

some people just wont get it

2007-07-31T03:06:00.000-07:00

hey guys,

i am in an absolutely horrible mood. yesterday was totally horrendous. the school doesnt wana 'recognise' our win. wont let us go on stage, not sure if they'll let us screen a video. i really hate the school honestly. and i think we might have gotten su li into trouble with that stupid view. like joel mak (vp) is getting all pissy about it and i think the HOD of pe too. no using the field for a month.

then i pissed like half the world off and that includes my favourite tchers. i felt extremely horrible. and there's no choi or pam to talk about this too. i skipped class and left school earlier cause i wsnt in the mood at all. left with bernice and cyn. i love my ultimate mates.

then i didnt go to school today cause i strained my rib muscles, due to prolly layouts and cause we tau-poked andrea on sunday and i was right on top of her lying in a wrong way which put too much pressure on my left side of the rib. went to the doctor got painkillers, muscle relaxant and some cream. think yiwen might be pissed cause i just found out alot of people didnt go to school, from my class.

then i get a msg from quek say half hour plus ago saying we're officially banned from using the Ds and track to even throw cause we wrecked the field and it costs thousands to repair and all the fcuk shit. i hate this damn shit.

yeah, just blame us for trying to win something for the school.

thank god for 20 odd of us.

the final moment

me hugging KO - dream team!!!

One AC ultimate!

Hi!

2007-07-30T15:06:00.000-07:00

Greetings from Austria. I am still alive by the way.

I made the mistake of leaving my bread in my room. My room smells of Brot now.

Its overrrrrrrr

2007-07-27T22:36:00.000-07:00

Last training is over. And I didn't really get to play and I am very very sad and emo. I can't believe it. No more training. No more Ultimate in AC, not for 1 whole long year. I didn't want it to end. I <3 AC Ultimate lots lots.

I think this team is ready to take on any other JC. AC Ultimate, all the blood sweat tears mud, every single one gave out their all and will definitely give out their 200% for the championship tomorrow. My heart says they are ready but in reality, I am worried for the team. Worried coz people have been getting sick, and what if there are unexpected casualties. I really wanted to be there for interjc and it sucks to miss it by a mere 15 hrs or so? I want to see the AC team on the field together, playing the finals, red and blue. And it will be the most exciting match anyone has ever seen before. And then to see the team together, lifting up the interjc trophy for all to see. Singing the school song at the top of their lungs. To know that it was a battle well fought and well won. And on home ground somemore! I can imagine the school filled with people, red blue gold, all of them at the bleachers, cheering, and out of all the cheers the loudest will be from AC Ultimate.

<3 AC Ultimate <3

I don't want to go.

Friday

2007-07-26T12:58:00.000-07:00

Its today. My last complete day in Singapore. My last training session with AC Ultimate 2007. My last chance to run with the team. My last precious memory with the team.

Painful this is. Want to go I do not. Sigh *sobz*

One AC Ultimate

Forever and always in my heart.

The training before the last

2007-07-25T11:57:00.000-07:00

Its Wednesday night already. I can't believe another training has gone past. OMG. And all that is left is Friday training. And it will be all over. I can't believe it. WHYYYYYY! Here's today's memories.

Here's Rachel. Something of a superstar on the Blue team (white is the new blue) today. Amazing hands! And I can't believe she's gonna be migrating to Canada. WHYYYYY!

Amanda the joker trying to act cool. =)

Amanda might be a silly bugger. But she's my fav banana. Her forehands curve like a banana too.

(blogger is not letting me load pictures grrrrr)

(i finally managed to get working again!)

Jing on D and Quek with the disc. Quek is growing as a handler and improving with amazing catches (one layout thingy just before this shot) and good handler cuts. And Jing is just amazing. Good D, amazingly throws and reads the game well. Tim Gehret in the making!

Bronson, Tim and Nirali (left to right) Bronson who is a pretty good middle handler and Tim who is calm and makes really nice throws. Together with Jing and Amanda/Bernice they make a good handler team. And NIRALI! who was sick and sneezy and fluish but she still braved her virus?bacteria? to come down for training! Applause!

Okay I would really like to upload more and do more commentary but blogger is irritating me immensely with the loading errors.

I wish it was training forever. I am gonna miss everyone really soon. There's only 1 training left. *Sobz*

Since everyone did it...

2007-07-23T10:50:00.000-07:00

I realized that everyone posted one about team dinner. So I shall do the same. And now I present the team. The gorgeous team with wonderful awesome people.

Words cannot describe the love I feel for this team. Its the bestest ever. This team is the ultimate team in the world. It started small and look where it is today. Through thick and thin, through rain, mud, injuries, this team has stayed together strong and still growing in strength. When inter-jc comes, I am sure they will tackle it together as a team and fight together till the very end. And when crunch time comes, they will emerge together strong and as one. One AC Ultimate.

Daydreams

2007-07-15T22:22:00.000-07:00

I have really really bad withdrawal symptoms from training. Seriously bad. I am like sitting on my bed now, supposedly to do some admin crap for my exchange. But all I can think about is frisbee, training, going back for training on friday, my new cleats being all ready for me to run in when I get back. I can even visualize myself throwing, catching, laying out (this IS a dream remember). And it so happens that it is a Monday today, which means at 4.30, training is gonna start. Without me. =( And thinking about that just makes me sad/depressed. And hearing everyone's stories. I think a lot has happened without me around =( I wish I was back in Spore.

Doesn't help that I spend a large portion of time watching ultimate videos. And that makes me itch to play. I am so so so going crazy. I won't be surprised if I manage a layout or something spectacular on Friday, coz I am gonna WANT the disc super duper badly.

muddy vs ac

2007-07-14T21:10:00.000-07:00

omg! muddy vs ac of which i only made it in time for the game. blame the arts reunion but we thrashed the seniors 3-0 at ultimate! (: anyhow, the game was pretty alright.we got better as the game went along and oh! haha i think i did a layout. i cant remember how it went but it felt good! hope the video caught it and hope it looked good! haha so exciting! (: (: (:

k i feel retarded.
going to eat lunch and xmen!
and i need to study soon!

isnt game point till 14 pam!

frisbee

2007-07-14T09:18:00.000-07:00

okay i kinda dont want to go back to perth, because i wanna keep playing frisbee here... boo... muddy vs ac today was kinda good, in the sense that the ac people probably hopefully learnt alot and know what they should work on... and i think i learnt quite alot too... like how to play the bali stack thingy.... i kinda like it, but choi doesnt... and i got burnt and im gonna ache tomorrow but WHO CARES. blah.

random: but i just emailed this team, FEAR in WA asking them if i could join their training. i dont think i could survive 4 months in perth without proper frisbee training... boo. keeps fingers crossed they dont train at some ulu-ated time and ulu-ated place...

haha and im considering coming back for opens during my midsem break to play with some WA team...... if i make the team, that is... but i'll have to ask. try. train.

AC to 15!

2007-07-10T09:26:00.000-07:00

I miss Singapore. I miss AC. I miss training. I miss running. I miss throwing. I miss the disc. I miss hucking. I miss ULTIMATE. I miss EVERYONE.

It has only been 6 days. 9 long days more. How am I gonna survive! Help!

Silly buggers!

2007-07-06T10:13:00.000-07:00

2007-07-01T06:46:00.000-07:00

Mommy is stuck in hospital for observation due to chest discomfort. I know I said I didn't want to go HK but this isn't the way I want it to happen. Sorry Mommy. I really am. =(

2007-07-01T02:10:00.001-07:00

wah it's been a damn long time since i last posted. anyway hello all! glad to know pam's back in sgp and having fun. anyway sorry for the lack of updates. had an awesome time in philippines (pix of me with sing ulti disc on the beautiful beaches of palawan coming soon) but picked up some nasty things thanks to the lovely non-potable water and the myriad hazards of backpacking. open wounds = nothing faster than a slow hobble = NO ULTIMATE. boo. anyway choy pls take care of yourself there and take many many pictures. play more and come back happy happy happy!

right. back to studying for tomorrow's exciting x-ray grand ward round. currently at sgh btw so if anyone wants to come visit gimme a ring. will be hanging around block 5/6/7.

see you guys soon... the minute my wounds heal i will be out on the field playing. shit. i can feel myself getting flabbier and more unhealthy by the second.

study study study

2007-06-29T19:18:00.000-07:00

woah, it seems so long since i updated but there are so few posts! i think we need to do something about it (hint.hint.hint.)

training yesterday was fun with the ac peeps, including choi and pammy. monday's choi's last trg. i honestly dont see what's so good about hk okay choi. leaving us to go to that godforsaken place! wont you miss me! anyway, dinner at coffee club with bang, choi, bronson, su li and ko was fun i guess. in a way. i prefer the talking cock and laughing more though. sometimes its so hard to do things around these adults. they're too old for my liking.

there's so many things i wana say but its so hard. and oh yeah i missed freakshow training cause yeah im sitting in front of my com. i woke up late. bloody hell la. i wana throw now. but since i missed it, im gona go study cause if not im gona fail prelims. and you'll see me for one more year again in ehhcee. not gona happen orkay!

study study study.
anybody wana buy me a present!

oh yes and choi, i might drop by for league tmr. still trying to figure out my schedule. (:
skip sentosa, go for league, tuition. sounds like a better bet right! just to spend some time with...the disc....

study study study.

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY PAMMY WAMMY!

adios.

2007-06-27T11:04:00.000-07:00

2.04 am. I don't know why but Daniel Powter's Bad Day song is playing on my itunes. Ironic, considering I just had a wonderful day. Seeing Pammy Spammy after such a long time. And training just perks me up. As I told Cynthia, I never knew I could run so much until I joined Ultimate. And its a great powerful achieving feeling to be able to do all this and survive it. And Game time saw some of the most wonderful plays ever... like a lot of consecutive passes from the white team for the 1st couple of points... and Jing being on fire with amazing jumps and layouts. And then although no dinner with Pammy Spammy, Cynthia/Alex demanded I join them at Orchard for dinner... and we just ate and sat there at the kopitam at PS for super duper long until like 11 and the place was gonna close and talked and talked and talked about everything from the bad state of KO's hair (shushhhh about this) to Shane's amazing 'layouts' =) Not to mention that Alex made a Cynthia Cut fetching her back and we had a hilarious joy ride around I-dunnoe-where with added risk of him running out of petrol in the middle of no where.

The simple things in life.

I am really gonna miss the AC team when I leave. Its the bestest greatest team ever.

im back

2007-06-27T07:59:00.000-07:00

haha yes im back. thanks for the warm welcome pohchoy. good to see you today. missed you lots. bananana too. missed you lots. haha. bakkwa! i wanna see you (and not your leg) soon if possible. miss you too :) haha.

on another note, i am burnt and aching all over. haha.

saturday! looking forward to seeing you all again

2007-06-26T10:54:00.000-07:00

PAM IS BACK!

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

2007-06-22T10:11:00.000-07:00

OMG someone stop me from hyperventilating please. I am like panicking and like getting all worked up coz I.Think.I.Am.Gonna.Die.In.Austria. SERIOUS. I just got my acceptance letter. The OFFICIAL one. And help help omg ah help its all in bloody german and I don't understand a word and I am gonna like die over there asking people Entschudingung Sprechen Sie Englisch. and AhHHH like I wont understand a bloody thing and I will be lost and blur and I won't be able to communicate with everyone and no english teevee and no one to speak english to me and I will just die in my little hermit hole and die of isolation. and when winter comes i will get frostbite and shiver in my little room pathetically... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! And the guy said oh I got this tutor for you and that tutor to help you and I would like to meet you too and all of them are probably big and intimidating and they will think you lousy bugger cant speak a word of german you wanna come here and act act. And ahh how am I gonna deal with all these admin meeting ppl crap! Ah! I am gonna die in Austria. Help. And SERIOUSLY, I dont understand a word on my acceptance letter and theres supposed to be hell of a lot of important stuff. I am gonna like miss all the dates for this and that and DIE!

I dont want to go. I dont want to go. I dont want to go. I just wanna play more frisbee. And I want to be there when AC plays inter-jc. And AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

2007-06-20T19:11:00.000-07:00

haha. ok since that was a 1:45am post i shall add to that with a 10:13am post.
i am officially coming back in less than 10 days (i did not bother to count.. but it should be 4 or 5)
i am going to huck myself mad on the 27th
and be a hero and save the vegetable from becoming fried in brown sauce
i bought a pair of nike cleats for $21 two days ago. they're WHITE and had better not turn BROWN after ONE training session.

1.45am Post

2007-06-20T10:45:00.000-07:00

Hello! Its 1.45am in the morning now and my head ain't feeling all that sane.

Anyway... I am glad that...

Pam will be back soon
I get to play Ultimate almost everyday
I get days to rest too
I am glad =)

Banana don't be demoralized and disgusted with glitches with training/throwing okay? You have off days and you have on days. I should know that. There was actually a point of time where I actually paused, stopped and asked myself, should I even bother to play Ultimate competitively? I mean, I SUCK! But you get over these phases and just huck on =) So don't worry about training today or Monday or any other day yah! Just focus on what you need to work on and keep working on it!

Pam Spammy Pammy! Come back soon and rescue me! HELLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

PS. I got a msg from Rouan from the Philippines. Apparently she's STILL alive (amazing =P) and she's enjoying her immensely.

Yelp!

2007-06-16T10:19:00.000-07:00

My sis just got back from Europe... after tramping around Brussels and France and other places. My fridge is stuffed full of chocolate now, ranging from Tolberone (Swiss) to choco-covered-hazelnut nougat. Please ask me for some. I want to get to Europe now now now!

Pammy spammy... 9 more days! Quick come back! I want to play play frisbee! and the mud flinging, I got no ideas. But good thing Xi isn't around or he will betray us... that TRAITOR! Weather wet and damp. Bad for shoes bad for disc. AC training got disrupted yesterday, today muddy training was well, too muddy. Last year's capt turned up at freaking FIVE when training was due to start at 1.30. How punctual.

And banana, you ARE black. You said it yourself. Its not just Rouan =P

earlier than expected

2007-06-16T08:27:00.000-07:00

so im blogging earlier than expected.
i am coming back soon.
someone please post up the dates of the 1st ac training and 1st muddy/nus pickup after the 26th of the month =)
and since i assume no one from acjc is reading this blog... yes i will be back, or i think i will be in school on the 27th to play =) haha and banana you can pretend to be surprised when you see me..
and veggggie quick think of some way to throw junyi in the mud. cos i dont want to be thrown in the mud too.

i am happy. i had my frisbee fix today. a bit of throwing, with yiwen in the lawn in front of my room. i like =)

i seriously miss going for proper frisbee training...

what is the world coming to?

2007-06-15T22:57:00.000-07:00

omg i just read rouan's blog and i came across this:
'mixed league just kicked off...[something about seeing joyce]...and mandar who's freaking black and thin apparently from doing nothing at freakshow training. yeah right'

rouan i'm so gona kill you first for being racist(!) and im so not thin. i wish. and i havent gone for fs training for more than a month can - with the flu/fever/ankle/whatever else. but im going on tuesday i think, before they decide to kick me out cause im so uncommited. hope ive acquired enough stamina to last to the end of training. sighs.

hope shanghai was fun. wish i didnt have that stupid moe exam know as the A's. screw A's.

off to studying now. prelims in approx 7 weeks. hooray!
study, frisbee, study!

OK OK i was kidding

2007-06-12T09:29:00.000-07:00

okay so i am not really abandoning the blog like i said in my last post. but seriously, it sucks having a group blog and only a few people blogging. anyway, i discovered safari 3.0 beta rocks! for once i can do like COLOUR changes and BOLD things without tweaking the HTML.

I got hit by a disc again today. on my already ailing shin. I seem to attract stray discs and repel those aimed towards me.

where's the posts?

2007-06-11T23:03:00.000-07:00

why is nobody blogging here anymore?

i decided to take time out of my studying time to blog for abit here. was supposed to start at two but am more interested in blogging and reading my book, which is kinda helpful since its titled 'the end of iraq' and im studying the middle east so dont kill me. must must get back to studying though after blogging and reading one long chapter.

kk to choi. seriously you need to rest that splint. maybe both of us should just stop being so stubborn or else we're going to kill our ankles, shins, or whatever not we havent already killed playing frisbee. yes. i want to train. the sun's up. i dont know if i should wear my new boots or my old ones. i need advice. my new boots are all white and i dunch want to dirty them. on the other hand, i really hate my old boots. haha. oh wells. advice advice.

to rouan. yes please come down for training but dont get lost for goodness sake. heard about pirates from choi. haha hilarious. you do need the GPRS system you know! hope leagues been going good for you. i decided not to go for league. need, need to study! oh wells. the life of a J2 student.

and to pam! come home soon. bring all your movies. come back to school and visit and surprise everyone. hope aussie's been treating you good and yes study hard, like me. or actually, motivate me.

ive to ulcers on the top of my mouth and it hurts. porridge for dinner tonight and listening to jack johnson rocks. he rocks. and im off to read my book before studying somemore. i seem to always be on the same topic, same subject. sighs. i take forever to study! sighs.

luck to me, and the rest of you.
love!

Welcome!

2007-06-10T21:16:00.001-07:00

Hello! Welcome to our semi-abandoned blog. Although there is 3 of us blogging, we are unfortunately highly indisposed to blogging here for no apparent reason at all. Do check this blog often! If we get a high enough reader count we just might decide to blog more often.

TTFN! =)

2007-06-04T19:06:00.000-07:00

hmm. about the muddies thing.. i think it's because of this huge gap between the seniors and the juniors. and i don't think there's a lot of bonding. if you ask me.. we should try to make it an nus team. or an ac current/alumnus team. i bet you that way you'd have a lot more commitment from the very beginning.. anyway that's just my two cents' worth which choy probably knows since like forever.

okay. league. it was nice to see the people in singapore (sorry spam) at league! also nice to see joyce (hurrah turrah) but not so nice to lose. boo. feel unfit and coughy. hoping i get better soon.. but i doubt so.

amanda, if you need more people to come down for ac training i dont mind making up the numbers for now.. i have a 3 week holiday and a car so i can zoom down now and after clinics whenever i can hoho. see how k? don't be disappointed. always very hard to start up new ccas.

For everyone's information.

2007-05-31T10:57:00.000-07:00

I am going to post my plans here. So that I can remind you guys that I want an ample dose of everyone before I gotta go.

Going off at 1045pm on the 28th of July.
Gonna have a 3 week german course till mid-Aug
September is free month ( Oktoberfest anyone?)
I start school officially in October.

I still cannot believe that I am going. It is rather unbelievable still. I technically only have the month of June to spend with all my friends. I am starting to feel separation anxiety already.....

Panic!

2007-05-27T10:45:00.001-07:00

Got my results back. Don't ask. Just know its not that rock bottom bad. But I am still screwed for the rest of my NUS life.

2007-05-19T06:31:00.000-07:00

aiight, i havent been here in a long while. short update on my really really boring life. life has been generally sucky cause ive been cooped up at home for about 3 days due to the fever, block nose and major major bad cough. limited studying done(really doesnt feel like A's at all. i honestly might do so badly for prelims/A's) and of course that weekly teevee indulgence - heroes. then again its not like i dont watch teevee when theres no hereos. so basically thats it.

managed to get out of bed today and went down for fs trainng. to watch them play of course. im not in the state to play. hopefully i'll be back next week. i better be. i cant wait to train properly. and even by not doing anything, im already dark and black. but thats besides the point. im missing the fs bbq now cause i was too tired from the medicine and stuff to drag my ass to kembangang. i wonder if charis went. anyhow...

in relation to ck's view on muddy. wells, i guess some teams are like that and it seems that muddy is almost non-existent in its state. there are two things u can do honestly. talk to ure teammates and ask them if they really wana be in it. or just close the club. three people cant run league. but since league is like coming, i suggest u call up drats/chuckies/ some club and do a combined with them. afterall, you guys need the manpower right? i dont know. all these politics and lack of commitment... you need to do something bout it in the end. no point stressing if nobody in ure club cares really.

and the same goes for ac ultimate. su li just send out an email last night bout commitment and when we want to train. i dont even know who will respond to her mail. but yeah ko and i are refraining from replying cause we dont even know what to say. its like how every week you hype urself up for trg only to be let down. it doesnt make sense. ac ultimate is like retarded. i hope we can train again. sighs. i feel like giving up on ac ulti totally but su li keeps telling me to have hope. 'there's always hope.' sometimes shes too optimistic for me.

i need conditioning. gona do farklegs once im well enough. training on tuesday. lets hope there really is training. i think i might go down for fs conditioning on thurs since its the last week of school. oh wells. see how. i need to learn how to sprint. or then again. last long enough in a game.

off to history articles..

my dream

2007-05-16T23:27:00.001-07:00

ok since veggie is complaining about no one blogging, i shall blog about the extremely weird dream that i had last night. and hopefully by saying it, it will NOT come true. haha.

here goes....

i dreamt that i visited the future, and that i saw everyone in tudungs cos we all married muslim men. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I HAD THAT DREAM.

ok.

on another note, i played frisbee yesterday. went for league clnic. not that i'm going for league cos exams are starting soon and i'm coming back for holiday and to FLOAT in the SUMMER LEAGUE... =) not too bad. the way they taught forehand is quite weird tho... dunno.. its a very armsy throw...

but it was quite cool. like 12 degrees and we were playing in t-shirts and shorts and our breath was condensing in our face. lol.

Where's everyone?

Is this blog dead? =( Thats sad....

It shouldn't be like this.

2007-05-10T12:24:00.000-07:00

If you are wondering why i am up at 3.25 blogging when I should be snoozing in my comfy bed, it's coz I have had a long talk bout Muddy Grass. And the whole situation majority sucks. I am gonna put things here coz I know it wont be read by lots of people who will think I am being disrespectful or something.

Let me start with the fact that Muddy Grass, much as Junyi and I try, I would say that its doomed. The team is non-existant. There is no mutual team spirit. I feel like... why should I stay with it, offer my passion and my heart to this team which has lost its fire and drive. I am only a very junior member with absolutely no concrete links to muddy grass and I already feel like this. What more a person who is looking for a club to join. 3 captains dont make a club. 3 people's hope cant hold up a whole team. I dont know how much more I can take it. I am just going for training coz I feel like I got an obligation to fulfill and I am going coz I like to play. I am not going because I know there is a team who needs my support, because I know this team will grow and benefit from me training with them.

And league. Its really pushing the 3 of us to the limit. There are so many things to do, and we only had 1 muddy grass person actively reply our email saying he would help. And even he has not been heard from ever since that 'confirmation' of assistance. So much of the club organizing league. Its just the 3 of us. And why are we doing it? We are 1: the youngest 2: the most inexperience 3: the ones with the least resources at our hands 4: the freaking captains who do the dirty jobs. And its bad enough that we are the league commissioners. None of the older muddy grass people have signed up for league. Do they expect us to 1: captain this dying club 2: be league commissioners and do all the tough work for the club 3: lead a team for league too? I really dont know what to say. No other league has been so desperate to demand each club cough up a pair of captains. We are the 1st to do it. And our very own club wont even have volunteers doing the simplest of all jobs to help us.

Tell me my fellow huckers. Why am I doing this? Its times like this when I feel like just abandoning muddy grass. My time and effort is slopping down the drain. There are a lot more problems besides this. Much of it stemming from the fact that we the captains are just the smallest and most junior of all the members. I hate this. I should never have been tasked this dirty job. I dont think any of the 3 of us in charge should have to put up with this atrocious behavior.

Help. I don't want to blow at them. But I might. Soon. I don't think I can take it for much longer.

If I blow, its just gonna make me more upset.

Help. HELP.

Its 3.50am now. I am dead tired but I don't think I can sleep though.

Smile!

Happy May Day! otherwise known as Labour Day

2007-05-01T03:53:00.000-07:00

Now, why call if Labour Day when we are given a holiday? Shouldn't we labour instead of bum around when today is the designated day for labouring? Anyway, we should celebrate! And here's a suggestion: Mayday Challenge!

What better way to celebrate. I suggest that we invade the Padang, set up beer kegs, set up a brass band and HUCK! And end of the day lying drunk around City Hall. =)

Treasured colleagues,

Greetings from Austria.

As head of Innsbruck University's International Relations Office I would
like to confirm that we are looking forward to continuing our estimated
co-operation with the National University of Singapore.

We are especially delighted to welcome your student Ms. Yu Choi Kwun in
the frame of our student exchange programme in the academic year
2007/08. The academic year in Innsbruck will begin at 1 October 2007 and
will end at the beginning of July 2008, which means that there is a lot
of time for preparing her stay.

The submitted documents look very fine. In order to finalize the formal
admission procedure I would like to forward our usual admissions form
for the use of your student. We would be thankful if she could complete
it and send it to my address as indicated below. In case of questions I
am ready to help.

We would also be happy if we could assist your student in finding
accommodation in Innsbruck.

This is a unique opportunity and I really hope that Ms. Yu Choi Kwun
will enjoy her time at Innsbruck University.

Yours sincerely

Mathias Schennach
International Relations Office
Innsbruck University

End of Term

2007-04-12T09:40:00.000-07:00

Fertig! Its hard to believe but.... the term has ended! And the dreaded EXAMS will be upon me soon. Lucky Bak Kwa has already finished and flew to Vietnam, and I am stuck here, with my messy table overflowing with miscellaneous stuff including blank DVDS, Kiro-Kiro toy and a brand new disc. And of course dont forget the big pile of notes which managed to take up 3 chairs and table space. Now, tell me why do I need to study, when humans managed to survive even when we were primitive hunter and gatherers?
It's worst when you have a persistant nagging urge to play Ultimate. The nice spanking-new disc on my table beckons......

Resist disc dark side I must! Resist! Disc no good is! Disc bad is.....

happy easter

STOP STEALING MY NINJA!

2007-03-31T10:09:00.000-07:00

I was gonna put up a picture of my ninja here. But it seems everyone is STEALING it for some personal use. which SHOULDN'T be the case. so no cute ninja picture on blog. _{Reference to cute ninja © by me.}

Anyway IVP:
SMU Blue
SMU White
NTU/NIE (those bloody PE teachers run too fast)
DARIO ARRIVED!
<-insert torrential rain here->
Finals with powerhouse NYP
<-insert torrential rain here->
Was blinded in the rain. One point I was chasing down Connie the black shadow.
We WON 13-11 I think.
It was close but we made it!
I think junyi, victor, weilang and dario really helped the team. Some amazing play from NYP team... layouts and everything. NIE played something called the german offense... strange thing... Charis said I am getting better one handed catches. But thats not the point. I think I still need to work A LOT on my in cuts. Caught a couple in the end zone and very very few as a mid. But better than league! _{I really don't understand why i cant play in league}

I hate post-SengKang laundry. I spent half an hour rinsing my shoes and socks and scrubbing mud off my white shirt. Not mention my cleats are DYING.... AGAIN! the cloth on the inside of the shoes are totally coming out and I can't like stuff it back in. I don't wanna have to buy new cleats again. *hint hint* sports apparel vouchers would be appreciated on my birthday *hint hint*

I NEED SLEEP BADLY

Good Afternoon,

2007-03-29T22:47:00.000-07:00

the weather report for today is nice and sunny in the morning and torrential rain by the afternoon. Be sure to wear your gum boots or your feel will get wet in the numerous puddles that are representative of the bad flooring present at NUS.

Waiting for lecture to start now, the ideal time to start blogging. Had to finish a really last minute paper last night (its actually due at 6pm today) and i ended up sleeping at 5.30am. I think the time i conked out was actually later coz I kept thinking of the paper and tossed and turned around. Woke up at 8am feeling really woozy and so wanted to puke but still made it to school at 10am. I officially have at least one whole day of sleep debt to recover but I probably don't have time for it.

Banana Amanda: don't fret over terms. I screwed both my terms with like what 3 Fs each time? Terms are designed to kill and slaughter. And if you dont want the archery course I don't mind going for you =P haha. Oh just go try out FS. No harm trying. Like clothes. You can try before you buy.

this sucks.honestly it does.

2007-03-29T07:38:00.000-07:00

i need help.

i should go for fs training right?

and mum just asked me to go for archery with my brother. she'll pay for everything. and they're saying that im gona go away next year so i shld spent quality time. but should i?

somebody help me?

im feeling shitty cause i did poorly for terms too! U-ed econs. that sucks.):

2007-03-25T07:07:00.000-07:00

i see everyone's update on the league finals. and so i shall put my thoughts down to word too. saving the best update for the last. i know i know. so here i am. think this post might be a little long and emo-ish since im in that mood. and after i shall read up more on the evolutions of the united nations system,third edition. so exciting.

so league finals. what can i say. i woke up at freaking 6am in the morning, half dead (like always) and headed down to sengkang fields. missing my bus which meant i got there late. but anyhow. after 10 weeks with joyce and jac, early means early, on time means early, late prolly means on time. got our coolio vagimight jerseys. no one else had it k! did abit of warm-ups and stuff.

so like everyone else has said, the first match was definitely not one of our finest. we could have done alot better, could have even won but hey, it was 830 in the morning. and it wasnt like our team didnt pick up from there right!

second match against the shaken martinis,thats our dear little friend, charis's team. we played alright. picked up. made better cuts and managed to fight till the end, beating them by 1 or 2 points. i still blame the early morning but i guess we did alright for the match.

third match. exciting like hell i think. though when ure playing it right you kinda wana die. the vagimights gave in their bestest performance ever. i dont think i scored the first goal though. i dont remember but does it matter. i guess everyone played well though i wouldnt say i did. the last point was the worst. i thought i was gona puke and die of an asthma attack or smth. but we scored. from a pathetic 3-0, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 5-4, 5-5 till at last we got it 6-5. how exciting is that. how gay is that. we won! haha. layout by jiamin was exciting.sighs. i wish i cld do it too!

so then we slacked abit. kena prep talk abit. watch the guy's matches abit and sat around and lazed abit. i must say the pears (which su li seemed to be addicted to) and green tea and yucky muddy grass field and loads of water and basically just talking crap made the whole thing memorable. and lying on yeling's leg. its damn comfortable la. and i sound damn wrong. haha. my teammates are funny. i like them. (:

we didnt get drawn into the finals cause of the stupid point system. but we played against shaken martini's anyway. and we won. so we came in 3rd. 3rd is not bad. 3rd is good. great thing was we won, in our hearts we knew it. so after we went to catch the guy's finals which were extremely exciting. team bondage vs sausage fest. bondage rocks la. and there was bk and beer. i had my 2 cups of beer. yay!

so i went home. fell asleep and then made my way to the party at red dot design musuem. pub called skin. pretty cool with bit of music, football and cosy cushiony sofas. quite a good place to just chill and hang out with friends. talked to our team mates in our own cosy cubicles and i managed to get coupons. so much for it being 2 free alcoholic drinks. i managed to get like bout 10 coupons and therefore you can tell how many i had to drink. heh. not bad right. everybody left one by one. so sad. i hope i see everyone again soon!

suppered at maxwell foodcourt, puked abit and then headed home and totally fell asleep. too much alcohol. bad for body.

thank yous to choi and ra and how we managed to hit off pretty well on the first day of league. i was like some loner la. dont know anyone except su li but shes an exception.thanks for the times guys!(:
the team rocks:
jac and joyce.
su li,yeling,jiamin,taitti,nat,carrie,slyvia, steph, chris,tai xiang!

do we ever get our team photo! cause i want it!(:

im too lazy to talk bout league finals anymore even though ive alot to say. so another post for another time another day.

goodnight.
here i come, un!

a long post

2007-03-25T06:07:00.000-07:00

league finals yesterday. 4 intense games, and vm fought for every single one.
lying third in the table meant we would have to win 2 out of 3 games-- the last one against the undefeated (for 8 weeks running) women's league champs.

first game was bad. getting up at 6am doesn't do much for anyone's mood anyway. tempers frayed and words were exchanged. lost by 3? points.

second game was against charis' team, and we finally got into our stride-- good passes and good cutting. beat them pretty comfortably by 2 points. sideline support meant we didn't make bad moves, and i think we woke up a hell lot after the shock loss of the first game.

it came down to the third round-robin game.. lose and we played the consolation 3rd/4th placing. win, and we moved on to play for the championship. the one-hour delay to the final, crucial match against the table-topping champs, double c7, was nerve-wracking. lots of sipping of green tea, water, and aimless playing with mud.

1145am: game on. double c7 with 5 experienced ultimate players (freakshow, shiok) and fielding their best lineup.

we got pummeled the first 10 minutes with long points that pushed our stamina to the breaking point-- frustration abounded, especially for me (a designated deep runner who can't run, in jac's words, screws the team. no fitness. no fitness. no fitness.) two throws swung all the way down, with me running and laying out in frustration, and another one with the "up" call, which featured me running uselessly in front of the disc, scanning the skies for nothing as the disc flopped gut-wrenchingly to the ground. the last layout was particularly infuriating-- i ran so hard and my marker wasn't even close-- and as i dived to the ground the disc fell agonisingly-close to me. i felt like stamping on the goddamn disc. shit.

then the psychological barrier broke when we scored against them for the first time (did amanda catch that one?). after that, we had hope. and that hope was enough for us to play hard, play slow, and play carefully. we managed to work our way up to a tie at 5-5 in a game that ended at 11 points. and we held it so long that we hit our time cap, and we played a universal point.

that last point lasted ten minutes. the lineup had been on the field for the past ten. anyone who's ever watched a game of ultimate would know how dog tired everyone must have been at that point in time. we dropped the disc within 5 metres of our endzone at least 3 times, and each time VM switched quickly to defense, forced them to make stupid passes, and moved the disc upfield. and after ten grueling minutes, when carrie laid out beautfully for that last, game-deciding point, thumb and finger grasping an inverted disc millimetres from both the end marker cone and the muddy, weedy, stony field-- roars of joy and stupid grins all round. back-slapping. tears, almost ( the latter also apparently true for double c7)

kudos to the heroes who held the VM line for that universal point-- quite obviously i wasn't one of them-- you played damn bloody well. that was the best game in the league. VM was the first to beat double c7 in all 10 weeks of play (lady vesper, who we lost to, would then go on to beat them in the finals.)

we missed out on the finals due to point difference, but i don't think anyone in VM was upset at all. we played our hearts out.

last game was again against charis' team, the shaken martinis. we drank 'em for lunch. 3rd-- not too bad.

of course the free flow of beer (brewerkz pale ale!) definitely helped assuage the injustice of losing-via-statistics, as we all sat roasting in the afternoon sun and watching the guy's finals-- drunkenness ahoy! awesome play, insanely-great forehands, unbelievable jumps and Ds... their level of play really has to be seen to be believed.

quotable quotes:
"when i'm on the field, i don't recognise mother, father, sister, brother, or friend. that's who i am."

"frankly speaking, third and fourth placing means nothing to me."

after double c7:
"girls, i don't care what the results are. that was the best game of league i've seen."

i went home and showered and found scratches all down my right side (arm, ribs, leg) from that last, excruciating, missed layout. but i'm happy they're there: they remind me that i tried my best, played my hardest, dared to try it, and had fun. just like everyone in VM.

VAGI VAGI VAGI MIGHT!!!

CRUCIAL NOTE: all events are delivered through the rose-tinted glasses of poor memory and nostalgia (yes i tend to develop warm fuzzy feelings for "the past" rather quickly-- that tends to happen when your long-term memory extends to the misty epochs of one-month-ago.) so don't murder me if some of the details are wrong. feel free to correct and modify as you wish.

choy: don't be so upset... give yourself time. you'll improve eventually. you put in the effort.

amanda: you gotta teach me how to cut and move... i think you caught the most discs in the endzone that day besides like suli, carrie, jac and joyce.

pam: who knows! i may head down in april to dive the great barrier reef! if i don't have to retake my papers. haha.

STUDY HARD EVERYONE. SEE YOU GUYS SOON.

sounds fun

2007-03-25T02:35:00.001-07:00

ah, wish i were there for the league final game and party! grr.

its officially autumn here, and we've returned one hour (same as singapore now)

anyway. i thought it'd be tomorrow (tonight) so this morning i woke up 1 HOUR earlier to go for rugby. and i was there in the dining hall with my friend waiting like an idiot. but its just as well anyway cos my friend took the ENTIRE hour to eat breakfast.

we had a formal dinner last night. it was fun but quite prom-ish. then everyone (who has a life) went out and got steaming drunk. so obviously at today's rugby everyone was just like dying halfway and totally lacking in stamina. but we did quite well =)

i hope i get to play tomorrow. it'll be 8 degrees at night i think. yikes. class ends early (its not my week for psych) so hopefully i can rush down from the QE2 place to the oval where we play =) quite looking forward to it.

okay i am super tired. and i have backlogged work and fresh work and studying to do.

btw, i am no longer coming back in april (easter hols) my parents are coming up instead cos they figured i wont get much work done if i go home (which is so true). ohwell i'll miss you all =(

bakkwa: all the best for your finals! finish your love story with microB on a good note.
veggie: good luck for your exams too! and hope yr application for exchange goes thru
banana: study hard and play good frisbee! terms just finished right, so just take a break and get good rest!
xi: rest that ankle!! and hopefully you're recover soon =)

p/s could someone (xi, bakkwa or veggie) please check out the price of a model skeleton for me at the NUS co-op? i really need one to study. haha.

And they lived happily ever after...

2007-03-24T21:44:00.000-07:00

or did they??

Okay so this the ending of the Winter League fairy-tale.

We started off bad. Like BOOOOO bad coz we were all slow sleepy and just not there. Tempers flared a bit and we got pretty frustrated which made it worst. And I still didn't perform.

Then we had a slight rest when we drank up martinis. People started to move and get more motivated. And I still didn't perform.

Last game: the deciding one. So we fought back and we managed to win! Marvelous play from all the people on the field. Especially the nerve chilling universal point. But they managed to keep their cool and triumphed! _{not mention we reduced some of the C7s to tears} And I still didn't perform.

3/4th placing game was the same as the 2nd game. I did 2 really bad pulls. So after that I gave up pulling to not risk Jac/Joyce's wrath. I sort of forgot what went on at this game. And I still didn't perform.

I can't be bothered to describe. So cutting long story short. Went home, showered, league party, drank very very the little, banana got tipsy, banana puked, I felt bloated, went home, showered again, went to bed, tried to sleep, couldn't sleep!, woke up. Thats all. The end!

Sort of bored now. I guess its the tiredness. League rocks. But I gotta get my act together. I can't wait till exams end.

Eins Zwei Drei!

Da final day!

League is coming to an end within 24hrs. I still have yet to make my mark in this league. Actually I dont really care. But I do hope the games go well =) I think for a mainly newbie team we have made quite a lot of progress.

ROARRRR!

terms again?!

okay. this has to be uber quick.

everybody take care of whatever sprained/aching parts of your body. train hard,play hard. be good. i, on the other hand, am not studying very hard but at least its gona be oever soon. it about another 23 hours more. that seems like alot.
3 hours,4 essays. good luck kid. history, and i havent even done the southeast asian part yet. amagad.kill me.

anyhow, wait till you hear from me again.
i is going to try to study now.

amanda has left blogger.
oh wait.
p.s. did i mention all other papers were pretty bad. SIGHS.

2007-03-17T23:46:00.000-07:00

hallo all.

training was icks- i sprained my ankle getting up from tying my shoelace-- wtf! and now i cant sprint or change direction quickly, and my ankle aches too, in the same spot as veg's. but my throws got better! thanks to victor tak. and i only ran 8 rounds cos of the ankle-- boo.

i can't find my red frisbee. i hope i haven't lost it. boo.

Baby steps

2007-03-17T07:38:00.000-07:00

1st training: 15 rounds around small field
2nd training: 6 rounds around big field
3rd training: 10 rounds around track

So much of slowly building up training to a killer standard.
Well, managed to finish them. But not without quite a considerable bit of pain from my arch. Podiatrist Pam! help me!

I landed quite heavily from a jump during training. Maybe i jumped higher than usual i don't really know. But the ?ligament? which runs in front of your ankle bone feels weird when i rotate my ankle. Not that it stops me from playing. But i should be careful. Me no want no sprained ankle again.

And while i was throwing forehand the strangest thing happen. i flicked and suddenly my 1st 3 fingers had major pins and needles. And i heard a pop. And that is REALLY scary. 肉乾‘s prognosis on it was that i accidentally squished a nerve? I just hope it doesn't happen again thats all.

Now i am too tired to do work.

There goes my affinity with my notes. Its like a frisbee stuck on the roof. Won't come back down to me.

run!! run!! run!!

2007-03-16T01:35:00.001-07:00

i ran!!! yay =)

i had this annoying anat dissecting lab just now.. where all the locals know the names of the bones and sutures and plates and all, and i dont (they do human bio at year12) so they finished the lab in 1/2 hr and left... and i stayed til almost the end of lab to go thru everything again.

so i got back all hot and flustered and all and decided to go run. and hopefully see dolphins. ok. i ran, but didnt see dolphins, so 1/2 mission accomplished.

must run more, then have more chances of seeing dolphins in the bay.. and when i do see them, i think i'll just like go into the water or something. hmmm. but shouldnt lah. should just leave them to their own environment. haha.

okay i'm back and hopefully those endorphins and all have been released and i'm all good to go and work (i hope) large pile of work to catch up on, and readings to do too. shucks.

run. or play frisbee. work on fitness.

mug. embryology. circulatory system. human movement. everything.

ah i am going maddddd

btw veggie you have a low PROPENSITY TO WORK. me too actually.

i sure hope i have affinity for my work. its like an arranged marriage i think.

bakkwa's one (on her blog) is like falling in love. haha

heartbroken?

2007-03-14T08:01:00.000-07:00

I was just commenting to someone i had no affinity with my notes. and she laughed.
its not funny actually.
its really miserable, having no connection with your notes. struggling to understand those complex thoughts but just failing to. i guess its not meant to be.

That's my love affair there spammy.... not fated to be.

disc! disc! disc!

2007-03-12T04:47:00.001-07:00

i playyyed today =) i'm so happy.

3 glorious hours. in campus(pickup) then again in my hall =)

details of my minor milestones are on my blog. haha. shall not put them here cos its really minor achievements which seem good to lousy me.

ohwell. hope everyone's fine. i need to get mugging. now. ciao =)

oh. but my disc spent half an hour on the roof. cos it went up. and couldnt come down.

my finals are in 3.5 weeks' time.

brucella species causes abortion in several cattle species and commonly in poorer developing nations. not to be confused with:

bordetella pertussis, or parapertussis, both of which cause whooping cough, and are immunised for at birth as part of the DPT trivalent vaccine. as with most activated vaccines, it may cause fever and rash at site of injections, which may be mistaken for:

bartonella species
which causes catbite fever and bacillary peliosis in the immunocompromised. which sounds very much like

borrellia recurrentis (which causes epidemic relapsing fever and is spread by the body louse), duttoni (congenital relapsing fever) and burgdorferi (lyme disease, spread by hard ticks). common in the homeless or in times of social upheaval, when personal hygiene is generally poor.

burkholderia pseudomallei causes meliodosis, another common disease of the immunocompromised. closely related to burkholderia mallei, which doesn't infect humans at all. these are endemic in singapore and common in diabetes mellitus patients and construction workers. another common disease among construction workers is (i just like the names very very much...)

orientalis tsutsugamushi, which is spread by the chigger, a rat flea, and is responsible for scrub typhus.

of course all organisms are identified by different means. brucella, a gram neg rod, grows well on salty blood agar, bartonella is a variable-staining but often gram negative rod, borrellia is unculturable on normal agar, burkholderia grows as large wrinkled grey colonies on enriched blood agar, and o tsutsugamushi doesn't stain at all. hoho.

this is 6 bacteria, which is maybe about 5% of 128 bacteria, which is 1/4 of 1 module. 1 module is equivalent to 1/6 of our course, this year. there are effectively 4 years of teaching.

10-90-90-10 rule: doctors only use 10% of what they're taught, 90% of the time. but 90% of the justification for our salaries is because of that last 10%...

i think i prefer the UN generals to bacteria. there are no anti-UN drugs to remember.. (maybe just one, bolton. haha)

studying,mugging and teevee.

Ready! Get Set! MUG!

hello to all nutritious beings. just finished my tortuous 143-drug pharmaco exam. now to throw away all the interactions and mechanisms of action and replace with stupid irritating names like leishmanii donovanii.

and that veg and nana is why i have not been blogging. but i did play today! (after almost 3wks grr)

good thing 1: i made a very nice d which i am super happy with (jumped vv high! hooray)

good thing 2: got my new jerseys, finally!

bad thing 1: i panic when i get the frisbee and throw it away!!

bad thing 2: i have no more fitness. it is official.

anyway obviously back to studying, i have a million worms to remember by tonight so i can start on stupid insects tomorrow.

oh and congrats nana! yay you did ac proud. that rocks. b for brilliant hoho

LAYOUTTTT!!!!

2007-03-03T06:34:00.000-08:00

i thought i played better today during training.

_{but it might be my imagination}

anyway. i REALLY want to learn how to layout. i usually just run faster and bend down to catch a low disc. which means if its too far away, i end up not getting it!

the stuff i want to do

2007-03-02T22:16:00.001-08:00

i'm just busy mugging my brains out. its end of week 1, i have 4 assignments due, staring at an 8am-7pm monday timetable, with 3 concurrent chapters of SALADIN(anatomy and physiology) to read. and my FAHB module doesnt give notes, so we've all to make it ourselves. gah.

that said, i cant play frisbee this week monday cos i've class til (gasp) 7pm. =( =( =( you guys are so lucky!

by the way, i went shopping last night for food, files and clothes. had jap for dinner (yum) between the 3 of us we bought like 9-10 files. and when i got back it was pitch dark and cos we stay in sep halls we like called each other as we walked back so we could alert the police if one of us got mugged.

i wanna play frisbee
i wanna play frisbee
i wanna play frisbee.

can someone PLEASE invent a frisbee-inducing drug so i can pop it into the juice machine in the dining room so everyone will wanna play frisbee instead of football? thanks =)

i heard the A level results were out yesterday. Congrats amanda!! how did like AC do in general? hope it was good =)

i wana play frisbee. im so tired. arts night hangover. and whatever la. league on sunday. gp term exam on monday! sighs. doesnt help that i suck at compre. thank you very much.

so how is everybody?
stupid bakkwa like never updates! and pam is like mia too! only little veggieball updates. and occasionally me.

okay i THINK im going to study now. haha.

p.s. i got a B for chinese!!! yes yes yes!

When in doubt...

2007-03-02T08:32:00.000-08:00

I realised that... i cant edit the font and stuff unless i use html o.O

but besides that...

Banana is dancing her banana dance at Arts Night.

Pam is killing brain cells trying to study.

Bak Kwa has already killed her neurons and is attempting weird-i-dunnoe-what stuff.

ChoicesChoices... what to do? To go or not to go?

Life is a game.

But anyway!

This, I am confidently sure about:

And the weather forecast for the week is....

2007-02-28T07:56:00.000-08:00

I shall let the pictures say their thousand words today.

grab life by the discs.

2007-02-27T07:37:00.000-08:00

school life is stressful. maybe its just cause arts night's on friday but whatever. i wana play frisbee.

hope the test went good for bakkwa since it didnt seem good for veggieball. trust me. let me tell you a story. during my bio practical, i think it was for O's. they were like whats the difference between the specimen( which was some fruit) and the diagram (which was a fruit too in black and white). trust me, i gave the most classic answer : one has different shades of colors while the other didnt. seriously, i ran out of answers or brain juice. maybe thats why i got a 5 for bio. mmhmm.
i never told my bio tcher btw!haha.

okay thats the story for the day.
i wana layout but its not all that simple.

pics of grass

2007-02-26T23:30:00.001-08:00

btw, the 1st is the grass outside my room (my room view)

and the 2nd is the grass in the front quad where they play football most of the time.

the peacock

2007-02-26T03:28:00.000-08:00

good to know you guys had fun at league.
i went for UWA ultimate beginners night today.
i nearly decapitated a peacock.
peacocks romp all over the school.. and one happened to be in the path of my shanked frisbee. and it hit its neck. and it hopped. and it hopped. and it sqwaked and it sqwaked and hopped away. it was sooo funny. haha.
but the UWA team doesnt train that often. and they travel all over aus for games and all, which i cant afford to.. sigh. dunno how.

i have 4 assignments to do. like big time 20% essays. and its only day 1.

tower of powerr

2007-02-25T18:18:00.000-08:00

damnit, i should've played on sunday. the sacrifices i make for mugging...

i now have the irrepressible urge to throw, one day before my exam (which i haven't finished studying for)

help!!!!

and nana you wanna buy a frisbee? help me buy one too. white! which is i think the only colour brewerkz has anyway. i have a purple (sort of) and a red one but no white one.

vegimight!

2007-02-25T08:45:00.000-08:00

frisbee today was awesome! right veggieball. and we got our league shirts! and i lost my frisbee. sighs. sadness. need to get new ones. poop. but im happy. happy happy me.

senseless post.

tape is used to:
tape the ankle,
tape the thumb,
tape the shoulder,
tape the knee,
and lastly not forgetting,
choi kun's mouth!(=

What do you think of ultimate?

2007-02-25T06:03:00.000-08:00

For those of you who think Ultimate is scary, here is a really reassuring article. As stated, Ultimate is good for people of all fitness levels!

Ultimate Frisbee!

_{PS: in this modern age, chances of decapitation by disc are minimum.}

ARGH DAMN FUN!!!! i want more. Frisbee is better than any euphoric sleep inducing drug.

2007-02-23T18:10:00.000-08:00

veg: why are you still trying to recruit for muddy then? wait till agm is over la. haha. here i am busy studying for some stupid exam on tuesday. sorry nana and veg i won't be playing this sunday. kick some titsi for me. but not too hard!! rest!!! everyone is using the exact same perfectly-logical dont-need-to-be-doctor-to-know reasoning to explain to you exactly why.

nana: make sure she doesn't run tmr! and i hope you're running!! swimming is just dumb HAHA (sorry i detest swimming. if we were meant to swim we'd have gills and fins)

spam: what do the tranny lecturers teach? how interesting... like minesweeper.. except youre sweeping for trannys. and you dont die if you click on one by accident. okay when i go to aussie (which will hopefully be soon, to dive) and if i'm around the area we can go diving in the grass haha.

take one, let go.

2007-02-23T09:37:00.000-08:00

everybody blogs everyday. i like.

should i go running or swimming tomorrow morning?

life is full of choices.

The future of the disc...

2007-02-23T07:15:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow, the day of reckoning... I wonder whats gonna come up during agm.

Spammmm I wish you were here to help me keep the disc up at NUS. If they DO decide not to continue any competitive thingy for muddy, its gonna just die and become pickup.

grass

2007-02-23T04:43:00.000-08:00

funny, your description of ideal grass suits the grass type here. =) no mimosa. at all.
i signed up for UWA ultimate team. pickups on mondays i think. their league's wednesdays. there is a pro club league and a social league. haha. no prizes for guessing which i will join.

my pics will be up soon hopefully. at parents hotel now so the cable is not with me. maybe monday.

thanks for all your well wishes!!
bakkwa: your exams are coming, so hope you mug hard, play hard and do really well!! and take care of the veg for me k?
banana: photo? you sent me one? hmm... i thot i sent u one. haha. keep at league and ac ultimate =) and haha dont slack off too often (once in a while is okay)
mia pohchoy the vegetableball (sorry, i had to do that, haha): boo. take care of your hip please. like. seriously. to play in the long run (and have fun doing it) you need to stay healthy ok? just let it heal.

btw. uwa has 11 transvestite lecturers. we were told like. officially.

i will try and bring some grass back. if i call u from like some holding area in the airport you'll know why.

2007-02-22T07:46:00.000-08:00

spam: ra is rougan! you dont need a lot of imagination to figure out who i am. and shit. i wanna go to perth. to dive/frisbee/live the life. yes dr bakkwa says:

1. drink more water
2. eat more vegs

veg: you and your hip flexor.. you better rest it this sunday and not play.. and i want my photos rarrrr... and you just told me you had a million cycles and pathways to study and dont wanna throw.. pooooop

and i look like a fatty in that photo thanks. shit. grosssssss

banana: study! heroes will be around after a levels (trust me on this)! what a boring thing to say but yes it's true. argh. i miss playing tho. my throws are like poop on the floor

ultimate heaven will have nice grass to layout on, perfect turf to churn up with nice comfy boots, and adjustable wind conditions. and it WILL NOT have lallang. or nasty nasty sprained ankles/ bruised fingers/ sprained thumb/ strained hip flexors

Frisbeetarianism

2007-02-22T07:33:00.000-08:00

Ahhhhhh while the banana is still not crapping, I have proven that veggies contain more fibre than bananas =P

anyway... thought of the day: what's the afterlife?

Frisbeetarianism

I bet the great ultimate game in the sky is where everyone is injury free...

Spam: are there orange UWA discs? =P i feel like starting an orange disc collection haha

and bak kwa's request:

banana you should eat more veggies and less fruit

when time passes us by

2007-02-22T07:17:00.000-08:00

okay. somebody tell silly veggieball to take care of her hip and i hope the bakkwa and spam are doing fine. other than that, i think all of us need to throw some frisbee. oh yes something exciting. i was constipated today for the whole morning. i went to the toilet like ten times. ate a whole plate of fruits and nothings budging. at least the pain isnt there.

i am blogging at the expense of the gp essay. shall ask for an extention tomorrow and malini's gona be after me. did i mention the fact that im her gp rep too. goodness.

sydney rocks still and spam just join the team. at least you get to play.(:

i actually forgot what i wanted to blog about but its okay i guess. everybody should watch heroes, like what im doing right now and then i shall be off reading some ih articles. such is the life of a student.

i made new specs. doubt i'll be using those for frisbee though. too cool and nice. haha. look out for them. i wana sleep. life is tiring.

to bakkwa: it feels like i havent seen you in ages.
to veggieball: ilovemymummy. take care of the hip and i know ure in the toilet shitting now. oops.
to spam: take care in perth. miss you and remember to keep us updated. dont miss me, though i know you will. better check the letterbox for my photo soon!

my disc is here!!

2007-02-21T23:48:00.000-08:00

my disc is here =)
i am going to play and start spinning it around my hall
and hope no windows break
they cut the grass today
its short and prickly and there's this overwhelming grass smell. haha
may sign up for UWA's ultimate team tomorrow (i'll prolly be their 3rd or 4th team or sth)
nvm.
who is RA?
