| Training has (kinda) officially started, no more warm down, only warm up and yaofu ): I am aching all over, grrrr. Okay anyway I have something to talk about today. Fine I read it a few days ago but I was too lazy to do anything about it.
I zoom for you!!
I know right, like WHAT THE 
Apparently synchro is not worth an Olympic medal or any medal for that matter. Rawr I can't be bothered to write alot here, I'm saving it for my letter. (Haha, Kelly remember to write also k!!) Pictures up tomorrow, after I've resized them (Hopefully)

I know you won't see this for some time, but stay strong okay? I wish you were ___________ under better circumstances, but that's not the case and I guess all we can do now is pray. Stay strong, I'll keep praying for you&the rest. Love you

| I feel freeeeee today :D
No tests, no homework (None due tomorrow anyway) and there isn't much to stress about at training. Hrmm. (Okay essentially I had a boring day so I have nothing to talk about. I'm just doing this for the sake of it)
Pictures haven't come up yet because Photobucket became incredibly slow and it takes forever to upload my full sized pictures and Photoshop screwed up on me too, on what, two computers?! And the other computer is too slow to do my pictures on ):
I dont like having nothing to say, I feel boring. | | |
| People who have not had their midyears have tests.
Tests --> Studying
Studying --> No time
Okay Bio test wasn't so hot and neither was Geog since I was sick when she covered the whole earthquake chapter and in Japan when she did the evaluative essay practice and SS wasn't actually that bad but I have no faith in myself so yes. Ahhh I'm just glad the tests are over, I can start planning my holidays now (:
Hmmm I dont think too much stuff's happened this week, went back to training today, went back to choir yesterday. So I'm officially not doing the concert but I'll be cheering for you from the audience (: My first SC Choir concert, so exciting :D Synchro nationals are on the same day as the choir concert I think, hopefully I'll be able to make it? I will, I will, even if I have to run there (:
Aiyah I'm too lazy to blog anymore, I'm incapable of storing my thoughts for three days and then regurgitating them.

| I'm getting really inconsistent with posting. Oh well.
School's been alright, I have a huge pile of homework which I don't really know how to do and have not begun clearing yet. I'm gonna wait til after the Bio&Geog&SS tests I think. Lousy thought system but who cares. Bernice thank you for keeping my homework for me in a nice neat pile ON my table (As opposed to under it. The bottom of my table is a roach motel, stuff goes in and never comes out)
Did 2.4 on thursday, I am not a runner for a very good reason. Haha Nic thanks for coming to count for me and scream for me. The teachers were like pacing me the last few rounds and I missed my A by like 9 seconds ahhhh. (Zzz and Benn was complaining to me on the bus yesterday that she ONLY did 10 mins plus like ?! You still run faster than me deary. Way wayyyy faster)
Haha and yes on thursday I lost my bio book. (Whoever hasn't heard my loser story should now, it's the most loser thing I've done the whole year) Cos I was walking home from Novena Square and I stopped to buy a magazine from the old indian lady outside the underpass and I had to put down my bio book to take out my wallet. Thennn I got home around 4, started looking for my bio book at 8, then tried to recall where I'd put it cos I was so sure I'd walked home carrying it. Then I realised I walked home with the magazine rather than my bio book ):
Friday I went to reclaim it and I met Deedee to study hahaha then went to the pool with her to play :D Self timer is awesome, but my camera sucks so we have like a whole bunch of unclear shots oh well. Fun fun, I feel so lazy not training. I can't wait to start training for nationals actually, I dont know whats wrong with me haha. But when it actually starts I'll be crying for it to stop hahaha.
Saturday felt pretty empty without training/choir I dont know why hahaha. Mmm but service after that was good. God's healing power is amazing, and both of them will heal. I know I know I know.
(I caught Sis Shufen staring at this little baby in the lift with a silly smile on her face, hurhurhur)
Nathan's birthday after that, at Benn's house. Such a long walk hahaha, or maybe I'm just lazy :D I really really like Benn's dog, I think its reaaaaally cute and it doesn't jump and it doesnt bark and I really like its name :D Okay anyway that's not the point anyway Nathan I hope you had a good birthday, Happy 16th (:

Xueeeeeeeeee I miss you too!! (Ariel Tan keeps forgetting to give me the letter, so as yet I still dont have it  ) I have not eaten baked potatoes for a very long time because my block-of-butter-potato friend is not here and it's just not the same without her ): Come back quickly okay! :D | | |
| WHAT'S THE DATE TODAY, IT'S THE 7TH OF MAY!

Hello friends Japan was veryvery fun :D
Nice weather, nice hotel, nice food, extremely nice pool, awesome company  The competition was really...woah. Japs take synchro pretty seriously; it's such a huge sport there. And the competitors were like :O Hahaha our national team probably wouldn't even be able to represent a club there. Oh well at least we still have lives (sort of) :D
The flight there wasn't bad, the flight back was bad/exciting. Alot of turbulence, Jodie, Cel&I went to the toilet during the flight and we ended up spending like 10minutes at the back of the plane staring out the window cos there was so much lightning outside and it was kinda cool and scary at the same time cos the plane was so dark and it's actually rather pretty outside hahaha. The whole sky just lit up and we were all like Ooooooh.
Training in Japan was good, not too tiring. Just right actually. Previous trips were super draining. The organizers were pretty good about everything, they arrange training times such that the competitors aren't totally dead when it's time to perform (NO MUSIC TIME IN THE MORNING YESSSSSSSSS) The pool was really cool, they've got a giant (I really mean giant, like humongous) screen which shows the performance from all sorts of angles and there were like a gazillion cameramen. Aaaaand there was this really cool underwater camera and the pool is veryveryvery clean and nice and so is the locker room and the showers have hot water!! (Very impressed by that hahaha)
If FP revamps, we need (in order of necessity):
1. A newer toilet
2. Hot water
3. A costume dryer
HAHAHAHA. We figured that the Japs save money on the doors and channel it into hot water, we're fine with that too (: We never really used them anyway.
Mmm watching the competition was good experience, if boring at points. The national team is...scary. We were next to them on one of the days in the locker room, they look much younger in their swimming costumes. In blazers they just look really old. (They are anyway, like mid 20s) They've got really pretty makeup bags, sponsored by Kose. They've got a million sponsors zzz. Okay but they're really very good (I don't exactly have pictures/videos so oh well) (We don't exactly have a video of our performance either, don't ask)
I think our performances went well. Jiaolian was pretty happy with tech I think, and free wasn't so bad (My noseclip nearly dropped off, so scary, I was debating like the whole routine whether I should attempt to put it back on properly or not. And Cel had to take off and put on hers again like 5 times or something)
I think the most amazing thing was that for both routines, I wasn't nervous at all. Normally I'm jumping all over the place or I can't talk or whatever but this one was fine, and I think it pretty much boils down to just one thing. All in all, this trip's really shown me what God can do if I put all my trust in Him and just leave everything in His hands. During the routine all I could think was You're with me, You give me strength, when I couldn't breathe, when I was so so tired. And in knowing that what He's promised won't fail, I think I concentrated alot better on the competition and I have even more faith in Him now (:
I guess Japan was a good break for me, I can kinda get back and concentrate more on school work now. No more excuses. Though of course if I had a choice, I'd be pretty happy staying there for awhile more (: (Jodie: "Fine, take my passport, I'll just stay here and wander around aimlessly. Don't need to go back to school, don't need to take A levels...") (She had this dreamy look on her face when she said that, hahaha) PTD was while we were away, I completely forgot about it but my parents remembered thank goodness. Apparently everyone had good things to say except Mrs Liow which I am not surprised about. I'm shocked I didnt get any other bad comments from teachers though hahaha.
Okay pictures can and will do the talking I will recount stupid stories along the way.
