okayyy. today's my sis birthday! 121212. am bored stiff. because she's out at school doing some psle exam, I've got to stay BACK HERE AT HOME and do nothing so that they won't have to wait for me if I go out. I mean, wth. at least you know, I could have gone to adele's house to play mahjong or something, AND I'm missing the ice skating with the softballers, which I'd have loved to go. my mother is sooo biased. I FEEL LIKE AN ANGSTY SHIT. hahahaha.

basically been bumming around the whole day watching baseball (go white sox! hate the angels.) and flipping through espnstarsportsespnstarsports. you know, I'm starting to realise why I gave up on blogging in the first place, it's because it gets boring after a while, and actually, while most people claim to write blogs for THEMSELVES, it's really for other people to see. I mean, why the hell would you put something like that online if it wasn't for other people to read? ok, maybe me being a little cynical here, but it's true isn't it? and after a while - unless you really like to admire your own blog - if no one reads it, it's not going to hold your attention anymore. shall maybe do some kitchen experiments! following yesterday's disastrous attempt at making gelato (with instigation from a conversation I had with ying ting), today I made a soy milk potato! since I was pretty hungry, and my sis isn't coming back til 1, I decided to boil the only potato left in the house. so, after putting on safety gear ie: helmet, oxygen tank, fireproof suit etc, finally could boil the darn thing! had to chop it up into 6 pieces so that it would boil quicker. blurpblurp..
half an hour later...
SUCCESS! house is in one piece, potato is intact! took off the skin and mashed it, and then raided the fridge and found soy milk! since the only other milk thing I had was chocolate malt (eeee chocotato) had no choice, but I usually use plain milk. so added soy milk! mmm tasted nuttypotatoey delicious! ((((: still, this is a minor accomplishment. haven't told you about the time I fried an egg on the coffee machine yet.

anyway, yesterday was quite interesting. had training for the first time in a loooong while, and it was pretty tough cos of all the PT that we had to do. something funny happened in the gym! coach was asking me if doing crunches on the ball was effective and I said yeah, because your muscles don't get a chance to relax. so I taught him how to do it and he tried, then he said "But I can't feel anything what!" and you know why? because his stomach was preventing him from going all the way up. hahaha. but he showed us his pushups and stuff, like diamond pushups and the plyometric one... oh, before that had elections! but election votes are strictly private, so I can't say whom I voted for, but I don't agree with the election of some committee members although if you look at the election in general, it was ok. I'm still QM! but I wouldn't really care if I was or not. I don't like the responsibility of the equipment AND it's possibly one of the more underrated jobs.
then we had speed endurance, not sure though. the drills looked like agility drills, but if they were, I disagree with the way we had to perform them, because you can't work on your agility when you're tired, and you should only do like short bursts of such drills so you can concentrate on your form. I tell you, after the 3rd consecutive round, almost everyone's form was like shit. but! moving on. then we played football! scored 4 or 5 goals.. don't usually play upfront, but since no one was moving forward, had to. haha. yi yan was my strike partner! she scored 2 goals! I love taking corner kicks, and I can kick with my left foot too! drifted from left wing to right wing, but mostly I like to play in middle! it's where all the action is! ((((: we're going to have training again on thurs! TORTURE. bright side is, we get to do skipping! famous last words I'm sure. even though I love skipping, it's probably not going to be as fun as I imagine..

day before yesterday, whole group of us went down to plaza sing to watch GOAL! was nice, although santiago doesn't look natural! santisantisantiago! reminds me of the alchemist! then after we went to adele's house to play mahjong.. won 3 times! (: sorry guys.

did you know my mother snores?? sometimes. haha.
