Hi all. finally back from Asean Schools. im not really sure if i shud be happy or sad. happy cuz i had an enjoyable trip.( no doors broken :] ) sad cuz im gonna get back to school tmr..
i have to say the trip was really enjoyable overall. yup. had some fun time slacking and lazing around u know? and wad makes it feels even better is when i remember the rest of sg students are still back in sg mugging. wakakka.
setting.
we got to bangkok, thailand. my first thought when i realised that im going bangkok was: get more money to buy more things there!!. but then comes the good old memory when we ( austin, tze kang and me) got 1. chased by a pimp! 2. austin almost got his balls groped. 3. a snake was revealed to us by some street lady. ~~ and my ever lasting fear of, the wo-MAN. lol.
we took stupid thai airways there and back. which i feel was screwed cuz theres no freakin TV!. luckily it was only a 2 hr ride. whee. we stayed in the Twin Towers Hotel, Bangkok. in which i found to be "not bad" despite the eerily cold room at nights, and the semi-haunted lift. zz. the damned! meals were the same for ALL the days. ALL. desserts and fruits too. zz
setting.Pool
the pool is some dunno wad la. when i heard we swimming in the National Stadium, i was expecting 1. hot water shower 2. clean environment 3. a decent electronic board 4. elec board on BOTH walls. 5. a firm and stable plunge board 6. clear water 7. A F-KIN PLACE FOR US TO CHANGE WITHOUT FEARING THAT THE LADY CLEANER OR SOME RANDOM PERSON WOULD BARGE INTO OUR TOILET DOOR, WHICH HAD NO DOOR KNOB TILL THE SECOND DAY. yup.
people. the team.
i personally found Mr Chew (Chew Sui-Bian ^^) very wierd. yup. i told u guys why alr. and i dunno why we got some random water polo coach following us too!! the female-charge was quite useless too. and she tot im a girl.zzz
im lost! im the only true non- coe sac swimmer who went lol. the apsc trio had fun time too. the ss too. the coe was needless to elaborate.
competition. the races.
there wasnt much of an outstanding swim. so shud just talkk abt my own. did 1.07.15 for 100m and 2.28.15 for 200m. thats a new pb for 200m. the 100m was just acceptable, can i say?.
the more impressive swims would be the Lau Zheng Fong from malaysia, who improved 3 secs to do 2.25 and winning the 200m gold and record. Also, for Zach Ong's freestyle leg. yup. impressive.
interesting happenings. non-chronological
zach ong-fraser caught a bite^^ apparently a cute plump small boy began to charge at them and attempted to grab a bite on them. ferociously, he succeeded. lol.
mark chong-the-camelman+cameraman. <-- sounds similar? mark chong got a new hobby! he began snapping photos with his hp camera soon after touchdown!! he took photos, here, and there. non-stop. he also got beancurded by us. wahahaha. 1. at the corridor outside room 905? 2. in room 905. apparently he has hurt his camel;s knuckle and needed rest. was told that he was afraid to be killed by the beancurding. zz. oh HO. roanne and ruth ho. apparently the Ho s were rather separated throughout the trip. lol. while roanne told me lots about her younger days, ( and her wish to Murder revealed!) ruth was more concerned about solving rubiks cube!> shes slightly slower than me ^^. and i think the Ruth was quite bored during the trip. always ask me tell them jokes. appreciated Roanne's willingness to tell me more about her. caught up with her quite a bit then.
eve exposes darkest secrets!
alright eve, wad more can i say.?!#@ u got some you-know-wad, but even more balls!!
Katrina-subsides.
hurricane Katrina has blown her top once. wakaka. but she has cooled down and shes a pleasant person now. not hostile alr! ironic :)
christel fung on paranoia.
just as i was talking to ronald abt something about chest, made some hand action towards MY chest, christel suddenly gave me the strange look and said to me... :wah, looking at my breast right... <--- imagine my mood. i dunno whether to laugh or cry. *topic sensitive, may get removed upon request. Wanting eats ice stick. ermm... a reminder!! its an ice stick.. not..the..you know? wakaka. lift stops at lvl4 and bites me. theres NO lvl 4 button on the lift. yet i was leaning on the door and suddenly it opened. luckily theres a board at the door- i din fall. but...but.. we noticed we at lvl 4 yet theres no lvl 4 button. and the door open close open close... it attempted to bite my shoulder!!>
markchong tries to be wallpaper. and prolly tried building a Great Wall too.
we were in the room just chilling out. and i was on the slave bed(small added bed) with mark. somehow, hes just trying so hard to fall back. ? wads up?
talking about walls. apparently he builds a Great Wall....ON HIS PLATE every meal :) lol.
ms red cap- otherwise more famously known as armpit hair girl.
i am telling u. this girl is not ordinary.. shes got super super lots and lots of arm pit hair.. how to confuse a malay? get him to kick a corner ball in a circular room. how to confuse me? trek my way out her jungle!!
** update patch** 30/7.07
suicide voices.
i was quite tired and was probably out of my mind. i suddenly sat straight up and said, " i regret not jumping off the tenth story" the room people was [???] then i corrected myself, i meant to say 10metres >.<
was quite pissed during shoppping day.
apparently i lost all my $$ after eating at macs with the girls(grace, wanting, christel, chriselle, grace) and boys (nigel, tze kang, fraser and nick chew).
Had to borrow from tze kang and nick chew the rest of the day. zz.
bad service from thai ppl.
theres this shop selling exquisite handcraft. i bought the clay flowers there. the pretty ones. but the lady or rather cashier, threw the change onto the stall as if furious. i was pissed, but houyes, gotta control my temper. so i walked off and forgot abt it.
but we walked further, met this metalart shop (uses tools, screws, junk metal to form a figure) was interested to buy really. but the lady disallowed my entry. telling me if wanna buy then go in, dun wanna buy cannot go in.. if i was rich, i would fking buy down her damned store.. pissed.
bought a 4gb memory stick for my psp. ^^ will be able to watch movies on it now ^^.

swimfast gathering was said to be postponed by a week instead of having it today. so im gonna have to miss it. :( (away for competition). erm not really looking forward to the movie. but more of the lunch and dinner tgt. surely it will be rowdy and bustling. with such a big group tgt. the last time we went for such outings will be the one at suntec? yup.
still, day went as normal. wanna go morn trng actually, but was to slack. was awake at 6.30 actually. made it a point go afternoon trng. went eat some stupid noodle at upper thomson. then went to fish farm to look at the koi s we bought. hehe. ugly fishes. i hate it. the ones at my home are beautiful enough. ^^
went home for short rest before meeting up with good fren MJ. eheehee. was supposed to watch Transformers at 2 at J8. but tickets were sold out. so we went to Lido at orchard.. no transformers too. so we went on looking for the next avail show. which is some funny-i-4got-wad-name-horror. which is 2.20(just in time). followed by Vacancy at 4.30.. and good fren picks 4.30 show.. (when its only 2.15?) so we waited 2.15hrs.. which is pretty good enough time to catch up with each other..
the show Vacancy was actually not bad la. not exactly great, but at least it kept me awake tho i was dead tired. and the plot wasnt like cliched. yup. so u cant really predict wads gonna happen. all the damned-i-hate-it-sudden-scares, abt 3 of them are quite good. i shouted. omg. dam it. embarrassing. fortunately theres another not-so-brave kid behind us, who screamed with me throughout ( and he managed some SOLO screams and i laughed ^^).. this MJ here was laughing at me too.. zz :( if i were to rate this movie, it would be a 6.94/10. yup.
eheehee. this is fun now. MJ starts to feel sick !!. felt cold. and developed headache. Met up with MJ's fren. went home on mrt.
by now, i was laughing up + down. seeing the tired and exhausted face of hers!!. she no longer quarrels with me!! i WIN!!>. wakaka..
but she looked really sick, and i do care abt dear MJ ^^
zz had to skip aft trng bcuz of this.. !!
vvvvvVVVVVV end VVVVVVvvvvvv
ITS IRONIC WHY THE WORD DISAPPOINTMENT DOES NOT HAVE A "U" IN IT.
ITS DISAPPOINTING. I NEED TO RESURRECT MY PHONE. NOW.

200m breaststroke- 2.28.93 new pb
medley relay - 2.48.8x- new record
freestyle relay 2.39.x our best effort.
yup.
Post event thoughts.
100 metres-
i dun understand why i cannot return on 34s. i need work on it. my turns sucks too. i need master that. hmm. yea, breathing.. i have to work out breathing. apparently i can have some possible breathing pattern changes. a lil more training should do. ^^
200m br.
the first 50 was of uncertainty. i fear i went out to slow. might have expended too much energy on first lap le.. maybe i shud conserve energy like last time. yup. i can make use of better turns to lower times.. as coach david said, i need MORE trainings.
medley relay.
wad can i say?
nothing!
we are really lucky to be able to gather as a team!
freestyle relay.
was really tired after my 100m br. concentration not really there anymore? yup cuz i din expect such a stupid slow wait b4 our swim.. could have done a more complete warm down u see.. 24.65 (i think) wasnt wad i really wanted alright? i even lost to tze kang by 0.15 secs. didnt use legs at all u can say.. all hands. i lost focus. this is bad.........
overall i think we did good job in winning. but disappointed c div lose.. wth.. i know tze kang feels so crap cuz of this ..
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL end LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
shes got a problem, call the math teacher, they can solve problems in a sec.

hmm.. the reswim today was a bit less than perfect.. tho i did crawl out a 37s for 50m br.
the 200m br was a bit disappointing too?
was hoping at least a low 2.28 or best the record. but seems like im not fated to win it.. got a 2.28.93! i hate .9x . first hundred was a blazing 1.09.3 tho. probably went to fast.. :(
the relay finals was a bit more intense. with all of us scared of the DQs. the fear grew into us..
we managed a new meet record.
ATTENTION.
today, Rainer Ng, Ng Jia Hao, Ng Tze Kang and Nicholas Sim broke the B Div Medley Relay record. ^^ and im afraid its gonna stay up for sometime.. (u dun get such ownage teams everytime..)
ATTENTION END.
i didnt feel good really. i missed 3 kicks totally.. :(
Let me explain the special connection within the team.
1. Ngs. - u can see all except Nick is Ngs.
2. Morrisons - all except jia hao is Moorison
3. Swimfast - all except tze kang is from swimfast.
4. coe - all except rainer is non-coe.
haha thats the 4 special connections. ^^
more info of teamwork between rainer and i are aplenty. another record breaking event we made is 2006 medley relay. thats with nick sim too of cuz..
i really appreciate such a team.. its not everyday where u get to team with fast people ^^..
freestyle relay problem.
quite stressed out over this.. apparently the school dun want the faster swimmers to swim.. yup. means im in this too.. so u know i really wanna win acsi in freestyle.. :(
i dunno how it will go. good luck to me.
stayed at tp pool whole day.. lunch was WITHOUT yx. with adriel, yijun, jerome and jun ying.
wanted watch movie but no suitable timeslot..
swam relay, then we went to sakae sushi for dinner. back on bus 163 home. tyty for direct bus ^^.

ops man. the eyeliner dun seem to be coming off my eyes. =_="
preparing for sch nats.
got 4 targets for my 4 swims.
1. 200m Breaststroke
the record is 2.27.xx. i wanna do 2.27 too. break the record or not, that will be bonus.. but wad matters to me is the timing.. i must improve right? one year and still no improvements..zz. if 2.29 again i wanna crash alr lah.. 2.27 is fav. 2.28 is acceptable. heres the great plan. a sub 1.10 for first hundred. then second hundred would be sub 1.17. so the splits u can expect it to be something like 33-37-38.5-38.5= 2.27. this is the dream of cuz.
2. Medley relay (breaststroke leg)
haha. i hope we can lower the record to at least a high 2.48 again. right? without DQ of cuz. im swimming the breaststroke leg. did a 29.8 that last round. hoping for 29.6 now. ehehe. ive tot thru the strokes. i feel it can be lowered. but wont be swimming the breaststroke for the heats i guess. i wanna rest for the 200m br. ive asked wenjian if he can replace me. i think it shud be np la.
3. 100m breaststroke.
as u all know, my birthday is early of year. so i wont get much chance to break the u17 records soon.. so im taking all the 100m breaststrokes very seriously now. i wanna break it. 1.06.36. been eyeing it for sooo long. ^^. that liu yaoxiang is an idiot. swim so fast for wad..zz
previous swim was 1.06.93. hmm going out on 31.2. this time i wanna go on 30.5. so it will cut 0.7, just wad i need to go below the 1.06.36. it will be intense. and i will try my best lol. only got like 2 more competitions before the end of my u17 chances.
4. freestyle relay.
im not exactly ready to sprint free la.. im a breaststroker u see.. we are weak ^^. but hmm.. with the relay start, i wanna do a 24.4? yup. thats my target. i wont really expect us to break this record.. cuz the average is 24.44, very hard.. i just targeting for a team average of sub 25. yup. thats below 1m40s. tyty.
good luck to Raffles Cdiv and Bdiv. and to other girls schools ^^. and SJI. zz ACS too.

i got into both relays too ^^.
updates in accordance to timeline.
200m breast.
i was pissed offed. wth is the delay man. with lane rope breaking, to lightning warning, to rain. zzz. it was close to 2hrs off my estimated time of race. was hungry and tired, mentally. did a slack 2.33.xx sian of it. glided a first 1.14. yup. disappointed la basically. the wait.
medley relay.
we knew we had it in us. the record was well within grasps. so we were anxious to perform. rainer did a national record breaking 28.01.!! and i did 29.85 for relay breast. tze kang did 25.8 for relay fly and nick sim did 24.8 but tk left early tho. its a dq.
but after discussions, our whole event had to reswim. acsi also dq-ed. 1.48.xx
100m br-
swam a 1.06.93 ^^. thats a pb, and a new record. (after 10 years, formerly by liu yaoxiang) it was in morning, didnt feel at best. will lower it again in finals. going for u17.
free relay-
didnt get to swim in the heats. they want let other swimmers chance to swim. alright. waiting for finals. ^^ thx all.
i love my eyes ^^
