first, about yesterday. mrs tan said the trip to thailand will be going ahead!!! i'm sooo happy. and... something to make me even happier and more excited about the trip is that my whole team will be going. the SIX OF US. according to what they said today. smile smile smile and still smile. =)
today was the four school's combined meets. and i earned my first medal ever from an unscheduled run. i'll come back to this later. so at 1030 in the morning, i reached school. met zhi xin and we went to keep the banner with other people. at 1100 we(scs+sports leaders) set off to jurong stadium. first comment was "ulu". the place really didn't have the national stadium's "qi shi". i don't know how to say that in english though. cool music was played to test the sound system i suppose. and the first thing we did upon arriving there was to eat. our lunch was nasi lemak. then we quickly got ready and even before we were ready, dunmanians started to come in already. so we rushed rushed and done!. the track & field team came and i joined them for the march in. so i ended up changing events at the very very last minute. i backed out from shot put with michelle rejoining and took over mabel's place in javelin because she was sick and absent. i knew i wouldn't win but i went there with a mind set to throw as well as i could and enjoy myself. throwing javelin is really fun but next year i'm going to fight for a place in javelin to win something. =) javelin took quite sometime. it was intervals by the time we ended. so while i was sitting around at the marquee(i don't really know if it can be considered one anyway) or maybe i can just call it the sheltered area for athletes. shermaine came along asking who wanted to run. so shiying and i went. but somehow shiying disappeared. i later found out she got stopped by mr siva. joined the green team for 20 X 100m. the event i wanted so much to do. it's the first time they mixed the different schools together. it's good. although it's just that few minutes of interacting. the people in my team were mostly cool. the girls were nice and almost all the guys were shuai or cute or cool in some way. i was the 14th runner. anyway, we were last at first. but thanks to the super fast guys, we got 2nd in the end. quite a feat i would say.
dunman high got quite a few medals here and there. and the most surprising has got to be the CHEERS. big fat congrats to ZHI XIN and zara and yao lu especially. and of course to everyone who cheered along. the totally new cheer which we didn't even get to complete. HAHA.
after the meets, the team went out. minus michelle at first. she went with her class but ended up dining with us. it was the first time ever our team went out together. i'm super happy. =)) we went to pizza hut(at jurong point). after a super long time, we finally decided on what to eat and ordered our food. yum yum. eva treated us to garlic bread. thanks! michelle left quite quickly but it's okay. it's still the FIRST TIME our team went out together!!!!!!!!!!
train ride home with serene, zhi xin and melissa was fun as usual. we talked and laughed. and another new discovery, melissa besides being my classmate in kindergarten, was taking the same school bus as me. amazing how we don't remember each other from those days. because we remember some others. like the ang moh kid. it was quite funny. we were all talking about primary school and kindergarten. and we kept referring our kindergartens as "my kindergarten". when i said something about mine(which is also melissa's), she suddenly burst out something like we were from the same kindergarten. and we just kept laughing.
