What an embarrassing post. But OMG I had such a FAB time in JB HAHA despite all the grouchings and grumpiness the week leading up to it. I kept telling people how depressed I am to go JB but I had so much fun and love my team so much that we're thinking of arranging a kite-flying outing sometime soon!((:

Sadly no photos cos all with the official cameraman who's DAM obliging towards my camwhoring. I told him without his camera he's not very important to me HAHA and so he took pics of me even though I requested like a zillion I think omg. I even made my team take 5 lian pais and my manager was like ENOUGHHH!!!! haha!! Hence for the slideshow on the last day my pics appeared the most, I even had a nice solo pic in the centre woos<3

Talks were insignificant, I was seriously dead bored. Honestly I only managed to sit through those through hours of training at HC's lectures. Imagine sitting for 5-6hours of seminars per day omg no joke. Especially when we were all severely sleep deprived. Cos worked on the presentations till dam late, so sleep about 3hours each night.

Amazing Race was super fun!! Playing lame games like charades HAHA I acted out Megan Fox for Transformers but obviously no one could recognise my sexy lying-on-the-motorbike pose dammit. And we bonded so much by the second night that we all went for supper at the Fake Fong Seng and later congregated in someone's room and talked rubbish until like nearly 4am.

Really love my batch people(: I think we're dam fun!! Like this lame motivational speaker was totally insulting our intelligence by being all fakingly enthu, asking us to shout I'M A DYNAMIND!! and hi5 each other.Omg.But we were all giggling and piping up stupid comments and being totally irritating that by the end of the talk, the speaker had lost all of her zest and enthusiasm and her face was like dam black HAHA.

Am depressed :(

DON'T WANT TO GO JB FOR THE BUSINESS CAMPP SOBBS!! Dunno why I'm dreading it so much, but the mere thought of it makes me dam sian, like very grumpy. I guess it's cos it sounds like another lame orientation crap mixed with some lame business crap. Deduced from the Things to Bring, which includes shoes for GAMES and swimming wear. Please don't make me play station games, please please, I will stare at you with such disgust u would melt into the ground.

And we've got to do case studies apparently. In teams. Am super sian. Sounds like another project work thing, which I dislike intensely. Sighs but I just thought about it and I can't stand being so depressed so I shall try to form a nice image of the camp, and go with anticipation instead of dread. Shall pretend it's a holiday! Swim wear is cos we're going to the beach for some summer fun!

Hur..hur..lameness sighs

Boo horrible Jaja :( I just watched the video she made for Steppers and now I'm dam emo. I miss trainings, I miss Steppers and (I can't believe it myself) I miss Cheerobics. Of course the trainings are energy sucking, unbelievably exhausting and sometimes very very painful. BUT also, there's nothing like that special happy go-crazy proud feeling when you're performing, grinning maniacally at the audience, nodding happily and spiriting with insane energy. I so SO miss that.

And I miss the stupid things we do as a squad haha. Like Chun's weird idea of doing X, Y, Z btoss HAHA. How we always laugh at Leonard's forward roll, how we always make fun of Weili. I'll miss Jiahui's squeaky voice, and Joce's random singing. And ayar so much more. It's like with the seniors graduating and new people coming in, the squad will change. So Squad 0809 is officially gone.

Of course got to move on, I'm sure Squad 0910 will be another whole new set of memories but now i'm just so damn emo!! I love Steppers<3 And like Jiahui, it's also one of the best things that EVER happened to me, like really.

Blueblood 2009(:

Haven't blogged about it yet! Though it was so long ago and gave Kelvin and I SWINE FLU. Okayokay better not anyhow say, I mean it gave us FLU. Which is still killing me now :( Sobbs.

Anyway I wasn't an official facil but I wanted to go down and help out cos (1) I was from HPB last year (2) I wanted to promote Steppers (3) Wanted to bond more with EBlk (4) Wanted to play hehe

And I was super happy I went! At first I was thinkin I'll just come down now and then to help or play, then vanish at prolonged intervals to sleep or go out. But I couldn't tear myself away! It was activity after activity and it was so fun and I love my BG! So I stayed for the entire period! Except for the few times when CJ was nice enough to let me go catch a few minutes of sleep, thank you CJ you're very sweet!((:

So here went my 3rd Camp Blueblood! First it was icebreakers and I thought omg lame. But surprisingly the icebreaker we played was very useful in helping us remember one another's names! I could remember all of them by the time icebreakers finished! Honest(: And the same Squirrel and Trees game. Where at the last minute I couldn't find a fellow Tree and Squirrel but I saw 2 trees and I conveniently morphed into a squirrel to avoid being hauled onstage HEHE.

Station games, I managed to wriggle out of all of them HAHA by volunteering to be those handy people. Carry water bottles, carry bags, guarding the boundaries with Huixian hehe! Cos the games are seriously damn gross, with smelly BANANAS, sticky stuff, and whatever. Omg I'm not going to immerse myself into those junk.



Capture, or Prison Break and Supper were slack(: I went to sleep in the lounge HAHA then went back to shower and slept in my room woos. But couldn't really get much sleep, I think too tired already! And my BG Hillary Duff (Otherwise called Duffy) made such lovely baked rice then I seriously think they can sell it. Warm cheesy rice oozing with tantalizing chickeny taste<3





War games was slack for me, exhausting for Duffy! Sprinting about for AGES under the hot sun for them, poor souls. I just carried my bag of waterbottles (Two 1.5l okay no kiddin) and hopped around cheering and resting as I deemed fit hohos. And camwhoring naturally. Pool games, omg DAM FUN. But we all got fried! I'm not complaining though, got a lovely tan woooos! But with 2 ugly streaks of tanlines cos of my halter top @#%^$%@!@









Finally the last day! Performance Day! I was quite excited! Though veryvery extremely tired cos super not enough sleep and body aching and skin burning and we had dance brush up first night, and training on 2nd night. Enough to kill, enough to kill. But the adrenaline as usual took away all the tiredness! The performance was a bit shaky here and there but all stunts up so YAYYY! Considering it's more high level than usual and we had so little time to do it. And I had fun performing, that's e most important part!<3



My dear fellow flyers(:



Your strong musclebabes mid flyers Eunice and I and a random flyer HAHA. Okay la that's the tiny Jaja.



Okay here is she in full. The silly woman who have led me through my Captaincy and become someone I grew to love! (And bitch with)



Crazy Chun. Always full of rubbish ideas HAHA, makes me laugh like super hysterically during training omg.



YAY MY FINAL WALL BASE((: Must really commend him cos the last part really not easy and he has been out of training for so long! But he never complains!! Not like Och* who refuses to do shoulderstands or like some people who do until face black. Love this kind of bases, cos super fun to train with! And when we accomplish one set nicely, it's very rewarding!(:

Okay so I managed to summarize a full 2 and half days of Blueblooding to a few random paragraphs. And I'm exhausted from the effort haha. Bloody flu is sucking up all my energy.

Grocery Shopping(:

I love grocery shopping! Especially at cheap places like Sheng Siong so I can buy tons of stuff without feeling the pinch. And honestly you see all kinds of queer stuff there, super exciting!!

My mom, sisters and I went shopping after lunch for steamboat stuff for dinner! Okay technically it was my mom going around selecting stuff and the three of us just ran around gaping at weird things like Soft Shell TURTLES. How do u eat a soft shell turtle?? They're soo cutee!

And we saw 2 containers of FROGGIES! Like super gross, they're all squished together and heaped on top of one another. With their soft slimy bodies and unblinking eyes, and they seem to have air beneath their skin or something. Look so bloated.



And we found BEEF CUBES. Seriously. Like frozen beef steak but in CUBES, so odd! And my retarded sister decided to model for Sheng Siong hehh. She sure looks the part eh HAHA.

Having Mid-Internship Crisis. At least yesterday's session was productive. Don't let me get started on Emo Drama Talk of the Century 2 days ago though. I was alternating between hiding behind the big guy in front to doze and rolling my eyes. Come off it la, do u really expect me to be taken in by corny lines like "I held her cold hands in both of mine" and "As I lay on the hospital bed, I saw my life flash before me, my family, my friends". HAHA PLEASE!!!

Anyway I got so bored that I tried to take sneaky pictures of the funny China-ish lecturer.



Not bad right, make a fair paparazzi(:

Then Daniel, Kelvin, Clarence and I went to eat yummy lunch at Pizzahut hehe. I totally GORGED on the pizza omg. And we passed by the shop where I bought my hammie!! And I saw SUPER CUTE GIANT HAMSTERS!! Guinea pigs!!



And this silly baby hammie drinking and falling all over the place omg my heart meltedd





Then went to meet Halfie for dinner at Shokudo! The Jap version of Marche at Heeren, and the food's pretty nice! But super overpriced. Okay la we ate like pigs but I didn't expect the bill to come up to nearly 48bucks! And there was this cute guy who sat in front of us!! Made e dinner so much more enjoyable ;) My yummilicious eye candyy!

Insurance Internship

Huge Yawn Fest. Okay it's a novel area and useful skill, and I can make sure my mind doesn't rot as I indulge in the leisurely days of non-captaincy and summer break. BUT IT'S SO GAWDDAMN BORING!! Learn about MAS, SGX, CPF, SRS, (Can sense Mindy's mounting excitement) and the only time I paid attention during class was when that scary intense lecturer kept calling on people to recite the last line of what was said.

Which was a bit unsettling cos u can be writing your own notes and suddenly he'll turn on u with those intense eyes and remark "Isn't that right Shiqi?". The first time he did that I gave him a very concentrated and agreeing look cos I had no idea what he just asked about and I was terrified that he'll probe more.

And I have an exam tonight but I've not much idea of what's going on haha nicee.



Horrifying pile of materials I have to study and which I HAVEN'T.

Steppers KL Trip!(:

It's too long and eventful to be blogged to full justice so I guess I'll just let pictures tell the story! Anyway it was GAWDDAMN fun!! I was rather grouchy initially cos the flight was at some ungodly hour but in the end I forgot I was tired ahas.

So we trooped down to Genting on the first day, and screamed our lungs out at the thrilling rides! Okay there weren't many in operation, but we screamed at every ride anyway.





Dinner after a hungry day!



We went arcade after dinner and OMG almost died from over enthusiasm at the throwing balls games HAHA. There were those games where u throw balls at the screen to get points and stuff, so the entire group of us crowded around one booth armed to the teeth with balls (Stolen from booths around hehe) and whacked like CRAZY. All us girls got muscle aches the next few days HAHA.



And after arcade, we went back to rest and dress up for CASINO NIGHT *Glamour lights sparkle* Haha but unfortunately we have 4 of us who were underaged, me inclusive :( So we devised a strategy and managed to smuggle everyone in ;D Jiahui and I even had to switch bags cos mine looked too kiddy hahas!



The great Ocean Fourteen break in

The next day we went down to KL, and stayed in a SUPER MARVELLOUS hotel Bintan Royale(: Like 10 stars or something, it's so posh and pretty! And we went shopping at the mega mall 1 Utama BUT I DIDN'T MANAGE TO BUY ANYTHING DAMMIT.



And at night, the girls got bored hehe.











The 3rd day we went to SUNWAY LAGOON wooos!! Sun, (Artificial)Sand and (Artificial)Sea! I got my period halfway but it didn't spoil the day! Before the cramps came, we had so much funs on the rides! Much more exciting than Genting's(x Lovelove the water rides, although I usually pair up with Jaja who is SO TINY that our boat barely moves hahaha! Like Yeng and Weeps' float zooped past ours by like 10 miles.



Sign says it all



Stupid place doesn't allow drinks and we just bought em.





HAHAHA, Steppers' fave pose!



Our fave icecream place!!<3



And a pity but the last day arrived and we had to haul our luggage and our asses back to Singapore. A last couple of pics at Bintan Royale!(:





My transport buddies Deo and Jaja! We took the flight to KL and back to Spore together, and took ALL the cabs in KL together(:

Haha think we became closer too after this trip, so happy that Steppers is becoming more familyish than ever! BOO to The Loser Oc*i who left such a great group of people!! You're losing out pal!

And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling

You should have listened

Nice song(:

Tumour

I got this huge eye pimple on my left eyelid, which the Steppers call the Tumour HAHA, and recently I had it surgically removed! Not that I had a choice, my GP said it had hardened so it's impossible to squeeze and I had to get it cut out. So I went down to Tan Tock Seng to get it sliced out.

Super scary omggg. The eye specialist put me into a chair under some really strong operating lights and injected anaesthatics into my eyelid a few times. "An antbite!" she said BUT OMG it's like a tiger chewing on my eyelid more like. Super painful! I think I teared involuntarily cos I remember her wiping some liquid away from my eye while my eyelid rapidly lost feeling. Soon it felt like a lump of weird flesh that didn't belong to me haha.

Then she clamped my tumor with some metal thingie, which I couldn't see cos my eyes were closed but it felt heavy and rested on my cheek. Then I heard metal equipment clinking while her shadow kindof passed vaguely around the bright lights that I could see through my eyelids. I was a bit nervous cos she asked for a scalpel and there was a dead silence and she asked the nurse "Do you know what's a scalpel?". So I figured okay I'm going to get sliced open, plus I have a nurse who doesn't know what he's doing.

But anyway I couldn't feel much although she made me dam nervous by asking if I felt any pain. And it ended in like a few minutes. The nurse wiped away the blood and stuff and padded up my eye(: And the horrible tumour is gone!



Surviving the awful ordeal!



My poor eyeee



Removing the scary eye patch which is now encrusted with dried blood and pus

Sians really miss Cheerobics :(

Never thought I'll say it I guess, seeing how I was dying for it to be over. But I really miss it!! Haha, and for one wild moment I almost went to tell comm 0910 that I'll do it next year. Although I've decided I won't cos I want to study and dance more.

But I just watched the training vids Jiahui sent me and I just watched TGIO perf and Cheerobics vid and OMGGG I can't stand it I want to perform Cheerobics once more. I want to experience tt kind of euphoria and pride at our routine, that kind of amazing high u get from doing cheer, that secret joy when u hear people gasp. Boo.

I mean I can still remember how horrible the trainings were. Pushing ourselves to the max and beyond to do the 1 million full runs. How I go to Training Camp everyday feeling exhausted, aching like crap, super lack of sleep, fear of what new scary thing we have to do and how much I'll be scolded again. How we train till so late and I have assignments due the next day. How when we do full runs, I'm so shag by the time I get to Cheer Wall I'm gasping for breath and my lungs are burning and my limbs are weakening but got to fight to keep Chun an Jaja's legs up.

BUT I DON'T CARE I WANNA DO IT AGAIN :( :( :( I wonder what I'll decide when the time comes around. My mind is screaming NO U DUMBASS U GOT TO STUDY, U NEED TIME FOR YRSELF!! But my heart is screaming SHUTUP JUST DO IT.

Sians.

Stepped down officially on 12th May(:

Can't express how relieved I am, it's like a huge burden off my shoulders. Stepping down from the constant worrying, thinking, considering, stressing out. And passing the baton on to someone who'll will lead the squad better. Had my first training last night as a MEMBER of Steppers. Feels so dam good la! I like just flying, more fun(:

Anyway I've learnt btoss backtuck at last! It was like a scary stunt that I'll watch Chun and Jiahui do and I'll think to myself 'omg, I'll never be able to master it'. But after all e prep work with e help of Jiahui and Juncheng (Haha the lame J team), it was surprisingly easy! Even when my straight toss is still horrible :( Haha oh wells, nice way to end my 2nd year(:

Watched Star Trek few days ago, haha when I told Meimei, she was like "Sounds so lame" and I thought so too HAHA but then I thought the same of Star Wars but it turned out pretty interesting. Anyway I'm glad I watched Star Trek cos it kind of helped me in understanding bits of Big Bang Theory where they mention Star Trek a lot. And I realise Big Bang Theory, though pales in comparison to Friends, kindof grows on you. So now I'm quite addicted hehe. Deo will be pleased.

Alright going to watch Angels&Demons later! Yayyy!
