accompanied pauline to the doctor today for her cracking shoulder. she was pretty nervous and scared about the whole sinseh thing on thurs. so i thought it'll be better if i accompany her there. in the end, she didn see the doctor at all. the sinseh said that it wasnt very serious. dont need acupuncture or anything. i think that girl is super relieved now. leaving the clinic, i received a msg from ms lim saying that training is cancelled. oh boy you dont know how relieved me and pauline were. we were jumping up and down at the corridor of the shopping centre. we decided to spent the day shopping instead. i brought her to j8 since she said she hasnt been there for quite a long time. saw uly and peiting there and vanessa and natalie pua there. i dont think they recognise me so i didn say hi. watched step up. it was an okay movie. wasnt as great as what other people say though. but i admit the dance moves are pretty cool. i dont really feel like blogging so i just keep this short theni guess it doesnt really matter to you

took one whole day to tidy up my messy room. there was so much papers to clear and had to store them into files. have to throw alot of my stuff away. because there simply isnt much space in my room left. i was browsing through my sec 1 and sec 2 books when i realised some are pretty stupid. i didnt even really read one page out of the whole home econs book before. it looks completely new. i came across my sewing kit too. there was still the belt inside it. i saw my sngs diary too. both the sec one and two ones. the sec one diary had alot of scribbling by cordelia and esther. there was little little messages written by mijie pam and rach. there's many more really stupid stuff in there. i was reading my past work too. my handwriting looks really different compared to now. oh and i found my own personal diary too. i didn touch it for almost a year now. i stop my cleaning to read it and i think i sound so stupid and naive last time. oh man.

went over to pauline's house to stayover. overall i can say that it's pretty fun.
meet up with pauline at 4 for the GRPS dinner. erm it was quite disappointing. the food was erm not satisfactory and the performance was boring except for the brass band. since the food wasnt good we went over to bpp for dinner. went over to pauline's house after that. wasnt my first time there bt it looks pretty differnt at night. after washing up, we decided to watch a movie, chose flight plan in the end. pauline loves that movie. it was quite okay i guess.
at the beginning i was kind of watching it alone because that girl was talking on the phone. shant blame her because i know that it's an important call (: i dozed off a few times during the movie. too tired to concentrate. i think pauline caught me sleeping. she asked if i was watching a not halfway through. head for bed after the movie. we two had to squeeze on her single bed because there wasnt any mattress in her room and i feel uncomfortable to sleep in her sis's room.
it was squeezy enough and she still insist of hugging a big doggie stuff toy to bed. we didn fall asleep immediately. did many stupid stuff like competing who can snort the loudest and fighting over that doggie stuff toy. she kept cracking her fingers to irritate me. i cant stand the cracking sound. so please dont crack any of your bones in front of me. here's a photo of her puny bed and her big doggie stuff toy

self training today with pauline joey jeanne and stella. oh man. stella's like super fit and strong and she looks intimidating too. haha. did alot of footwork exercises today. i needed them desperately anyway. so thanks jeanne for doing it over with me. practised some skills that a goal shooter, GS, have to learn like getting rid of the defender. joey was the defender and she sticks to me like crazy. stella and jeanne were teaching me how to get the ball from the centre and wing attack in the semicircle. i'm still pretty confused abt the whole thing though. hurt my infex and middle fingers of my right hand too. they're fat and swollen now. PAIN. after training, pauline and i went to vivocity. on the way, we walked out of school with ms low. spent quite a long time on the bus ride. the shopping centre is huge but not THAT huge anyway. quite pretty i guess. but it was a total disappointment at the candy empire. i expected candies all over the shop or sth. hahas. but it was not what i expected to be. saw abigail loh there with her sister. pauline and i went up the oldest on going ship that stopped at harbourfront. i forgot the name of it. it want very nice i guess. they were selling books on it. we kind of browsed through some books. like eg baby names (: pauline stands for "little" and pauline's friend's name stands for "handsome" hahas. it was funny.

I was young but I wasn't naive I watched helpless As you turn around to leave And still I have the pain I have to carry A past so deep That even you could not bury if you tried
After all this time I never thought we'd be here Never thought we'd be here When my love for you was blind But I couldn't make you see it Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more Then you will ever know And part of me died When I let you go
I would fall asleep Only in hopes of dreaming That everything Would be like it was before But nights like this It seems are slowly fleeting They disappear as reality is crashing the floor
After all this time I never thought we'd be here Never thought we'd be here When my love for you was blind But I couldn't make you see it Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more Then you will ever know And part of me died When I let you go
After all this why Would you ever want to leave Maybe you could not believe it That my love for you was blind But I couldn't make you see it Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more Then you will ever know And part of my died When I let you go That I loved you more Then you will ever know And part of my died When I let you go

in the morning, i went to taka art friend to get a birthday present. spent quite a long time there because i dont really have an idea what to get anyway. quite dumb isnt it? but i still managed to get something in the end. met up with pauline ltr. i kept showing her the things i bought and asking her if it looks okay anot. i think she thinks im paranoid. haha. ate lunch at coronation plaza and walked back to school. we talked alot the whole day today. about netball, some of her personal stuff and some of my personal stuff. i told her the plot of cast away too. she's erm abit emotional about the plot. almost cried, she said. before training, we two sat at the grandstand and talked. we practised shooting before the training. did two hundred over shootings. only counting the ones that got in. my wrist hurts after that. training today kind of sucked. disappointed i guess. but i'll work harder next time. my footwork... sigh pauline said something quite touching after training today. she said something like this, "hmm. it's really good to have jingmin around with us. she cheers us up and makes things around us turn really funny." i was surprised that she said that anyway.

for the first part of the training today, the team went over to delta special school for cip. it's a special school for children of special needs. all we have to do is to teach them all about netball. we had a demo match for them and they started off with their own inter class captain's ball matches. during break, we walked around the school. there was this guy who came over and said "HI GIRLS!" to us. his friend scolded him chee koh beh after that. we kind freaked out and walked away quickly. but actually they're all quite nice. we played one match with them. they played really rough. i was so scared that the ball will come flying towards my direction. because if it does, the whole group of them will start running towards you. we left the school at lunch and head over to great world for lunch. nice and generous ms lim treated us to crystal jade. but we still stuff the money in her wallet on the way back to school on her car. haha. training was really tough. we had to do two rounds sprint for six sets with a resting interval of 4 mins between every sets. for the last set, it was a "surprise for us. no two rounds, but one instead. but we have to run alone. timing taken individually. mine was 1:43 and i definitely didn expect that. but i think what ms yim said was true. the support given by your teammates can really do a difference. we did ballwork after that. ms yim keeps chanting "FASTER FASTER, JINGMIN! i want to see the power and the strength in your passes." yup i kind of memorised what she said and she's not wrong. i know it's not fast enough but i know i was trying my best already. i guess i just have to work harder. then we did shooting with the new netball posts. it's the first time we use it. i simply love shooting. it's the most relaxing drills out of all. approaching end of training, ms yim talked to us regarding our weaknesses and the position that we shall take temporarily. i think i have loads of weaknesses. sigh. i've been made the GS and i think it's super pressurising.

in the morning: cip with pauline and her pri sch frens. i dont know them really well and i think i can only remember jolene and kaibin. had to wake up really early to meet pauline. i used to waking up late after a week of holidays. i think greenrich pri sch is quite nice and cosy though. but some teachers get quite irritating at times. so we took this chartered bus over to city hall where the stamford raffles statue is located. we just had to stay at our station which is outside victoria concert hall and pass the questions to the little kids who come to our station. after cip, pauline, her pri sch fren kaibin and i went over to marina square and did some window shopping. went to play pool afterwards. since kaibin's the only one who can play pool legally, he brought us in. it was pretty fun, but i cant really play well. pauline and kaibin were super good. after pool, we went to bowl. it's quite fun too. just that the bowling ball often gets into the "drain". oh but then this pro guy came to the lane beside us and flaunt his superb bowling skills which made us feel really inferior. we walked around citylink after that and parted ways. kaibin accompanied me to dhoby ghaut and we separated ways too. i went home, took a nap and made my way to st nicks. in the evening: meet up with mijie and esther to go celebrate EST's, PANGS's and CHORDS's birthdays!! the bus trip there to j8 with mijie and est is really dumb. we're discussing about the lesbian uprising problem in school then est's talking volume gets really high and many of them on the bus heard what we're talking about. est was still trying to tell mijie not to go off track. the guy sitting beside mijie looked really uncomfortable. yup then we meet with pangs chords and pam at swensen's at j8. did alot of stupid stuff there. the six of us played the "zero five ten fifteen" game. i dont know what is it called. and pam lost so she did a forefeit. she's suppose to go tell the waiter that our three-quarter filled ketchup bottle is not enough for us and to request for another whole new bottle of ketchup and she did it! and est dared chords to ask if there's silver rush. apparently one of the ice-cream is called gold rush. yea i know it's pretty dumb. we decided to go up to the playground area near haagen daz after dinner. took loads of photos there since it's our first full clique outing. but we kind of scared the little kids at the playground though. and we begged this little boy to take photos for us. lastly, pam and mijie "went to the toilet" but instead they came back with a piece of cake for the 3 bday girls. i took a little video clip of them singing the bday songs. they look really retarded. it still makes me laugh when i view it.pam mijie and i left the place first. waited at the bus stop with mijie for bus 13. we agreed that it was such a heart- warming outing tonight. to think of it, we've been together for 3 years. like wad mijie said, when we're together, the bond that we have is simply different from the bond that you have with your other friends.

IP INDUCTION DAY. the mini orientation for ip1s of 2007. during lunch: aqua(blue) and aerius(purple) house bands. my hands and pauline's legs. we kind of exchanged hse bands. me and wanyun waiting for the juniors to finish their station games.
our direct juniors 07ip04:

they all looked wet and dirty after one of the station games. i'm one of the people who splashed water on them (: after dinner:

Woke up early in the morning to go over to wanyun’s house to fry the fries and fish nuggets. They’re supposedly food for the juniors anyway. I told wanyun my home econs sucks but she said nvm. In the end it was her maid and her mum who fried the stuff anyway. But the food still looked uncooked in the end. Brought the food to school around eleven plus. Had lunch. Quite screwed because the juniors didn have much spaces to sit and there wasn’t much food left for the seniors. We got the induction shirts. The design is quite nice. Mr heah was still bragging to us that he was the one who designed the little pattern in front of the shirt. Yup. So the day started off with principal’s talk and later abit of class bonding. The juniors introduced themselves but I still don’t quite get their names right yet. They’re quite nice. But there’s this big MGS clan in the class. And there are 3 Sngs girls too I think. Then we have GAMES! Xiuhui, wanyun and I became sub-OGLS for the day and followed them wherever they go. The games are quite fun just abit dirty and wet. But it was really fun to be the ones splashing water on people instead of the other way round. It was dinner and the performance by the different bands, 06ip06 and the acapella grp. Oh man it’s been a long day.. i must remember to reply pauline's postcard. she wrote really sweet stuff inside. but it's so unlike her. well, pauline, if you happen to read this, THANKS FOR THE POSTCARD! i appreciate it (: and did you choose that postcard because it's pink?

okayy, flushed away is a DUMB movie. it's all about toads wanting to flush mice away. but some parts are so retarded that it seems hilarious. luckily it was a stupid movie or else i'll skin esther debra leong alive. she was late for like 40 mins? supposedly to watch it with jingwen but something happened and she cant make it. yeah i read her tag. it's okay, jingwen, it's a dumb movie anyway. est thinks that we're the oldest kids in the cinema. actually i think so too. everywhere i look, i see little kids. really young ones who scatter popcorns all over the seats. after the movie we went for dinner. that's when est tells me what had been going on in st nicks. cant really remember everything. there's stuff like the red batch is very behind schedule for studies and she told me loads about the new couples in the school. oh and we discussed abit about mijie. apparently she is very worried about her over some matters. we shopped a little while more but mostly the shops were closed and went home after that. yes one last thing. i saw MISS SHARON PHUA at somerset. i think it's amazing to see her there though she looks out of place. fortunately she dont recognise me as the girl who doesnt sit in a proper feminine manner at the grandstand every morning.

there's training later. oh there's this new coach named miss yim. she's one tough-looking woman but overall she's still quite nice. i thought it'll be someone who is super stern and strict and demanding. but she's so much better. hahs. somehow i find her quite funny at times when she talks about the primary school she works in. if i didn remember wrongly, it's taonan pri sch. i rmb her saying something like for chinese new year, all the other teachers urged her to wear cheongsam. i cant imagine her in one (: she also said the vain teachers spent over three hundred plus just for one stupid cheongsam. it makes me wonder if my primary teachers do that too. hmm. i think i'm going to die for training later.
 njc track. took this photo just before training.
