HELLO WORLD! I AM BACK FROM MY AWESOME SCBT(SC BADMINTON) TRIP IN KL!!!!!!
hahah yes, you can OBVIOUSLY see my excitement! I AM SO PROUD OF SCBT! especially the AWESOME sec one team!! we are so bonded now, i have NO REGRETS. it was so AWESOMELY FUN! ALRIGHT, i am going to tell you about the main things. OK???
day 1
we had a VERY VERY long ride to KL PJ Hilton, meanwhile, we stopped by some country club for lunch! Then we went to the hotel, VERY NICE. serious. ahhahaha. ok. PS. SORRY I CANT POST PICTURES! I DONT REALLY HAVE A CAMERA. HAHAHAH. ok. then we had TRAINING. the coach said, "For warm-up, run 8 rounds" and it was 15 courts. CRAZY MAN. once i heard it, my mouth DROPPED. literally. I WAS LIKE : WHAT????!!!!!! yes. so we ran and ran and ...... yep you guessed it, RAN. The rest of the training was mostly the same as here in Singapore, except the tips that the trainers--- one being Mr Ong Beng Kheong, were GREAT. they helped me alot. haha. THEN CAME THE KILLER. THE KILLER PHYSICAL. ok we had 3 stations: 1. step-ups(it was like the heght of a normal school table) 2. running(they at first said SLOW JOG. well GUESS AGAIN.) 3. footwork(pick up a racket and run for your life in a court. YES. that is my definition of footwork.) haha. OK we had to do like 3 sets which was just like putting , sorry STABBING a knife into your thighs. then the coach asks, "How about another set?" NO DOUBT : without thinking my mouth just mouthed N-O, NO. it was killing me. well most people stayed silent and you know what they say! SILENCE MEANS CONSENT. so we sis ANOTHER set. AH. AH. my heart is beating like crazy just thinking of it. ARGH. yes, but I MEAN. I DID IT. AND LIVED. looks like i have a body and mind better than i think. hahah. My dad always says, "ITS ALL IN THE MIND" now i finally believe it. I mean, its true, i would have never thought that i had the potential to do something like that, i mean CRAZY MAN. hahha. At night, everyone (by that i mean sec ones) went to Chelsea's and Gayle's room haha, you see it is boring to stay in one room all seperately hahahha. yes. we were playing gross and stuff. DONT WORRY I SHALL NOT ELABORATE. just know that it was DAMN fun. HAHAHHA.
Day 2
TRAINING THE WHOLE DAY. haha. ok main events of the training. we were split into 2 groups, exchanging excercises as the day went on. before lunch, the other group had to do 20 laps of running of 5 courts. YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT but i tell you. ITS ALOT. Our seniors came back crying and panting like crazy. SO well, everyone in our group was FREAKED OUT. i was really really scared, like they are our seniors, supposed to be better than us but and they were like that, howabout us? the it came to our turn. i just RAN. I DID IT! in a good time too! haha. All of us did not cry and in fact we were PERFECTLY FINE. hahahhhaah looks like that old phrase comes back again! ITS ALL IN THE MIND. HAHAHHAHAAAA :):):) At night, we went to Chelsea's room AGAIN. hahhaa then i learnt how to play cheat and snapjack. AHHHHHH i miss it all already. having to go to someones room, just being yourself around your bestest friends ever, watching other people's expressions, etc. I LOVE IT. I LOVE THEM. so sad its over. OH WELL soon, people will forget. i just know it. SIGH....
Day 3
We had a friendly today so we had light training, played 'touch and go' (so they call it haha. in my mind it is rotation. hahahah) ANYWAYS. yes, training was light but i was quite tired. then we went to play with KL's national team. SO SCAARY. well i was quite relaxed playing with this boy (prob my age or older, with MUCH better skill), who somehow reminded me of my friend at home who ALSO plays badminton HAHA. ok. but i lost badly cause i played a total defensive game. HAII. the worst part is, my coach said, "GREAT JOB. you played a very good game!" You would probably think that i would be SO happy right??? WRONG. i knew i did not play well. AND i watched my surroundings when playing, she did not even glance or walk over to my court, unless of course, she could see from like WHAT, 5-6 metres away????? anyway. then i got a chance to play a second game after waiting for EVERYONE to finish playing, yea i was last. THIS TIME, i know i played at my best, come on we playeed 3 sets ok??? and i know i put in musch more effort into this one, as compared to the earlier game. and my coach watched this game. She said, "You.... O-K la...." *dissappointed look* i mean i am not saying that i am very good and should be praised. NO i am just angry that if she did not even see me playing, why say GOOD JOB... and then later when she DOES see me play, say that i was not too good? i mean...... SIGH, she is my coach afterall, so i guess i listen. Its only right:) At night, we watched Coraline together in Chelsea's room hahha. I WAS DAMN SCARED. OHHHH i have to tell you. we planned on sleeping over then i was squished in the middle of everybody. haha. and Shawna and Gayle were breathing damn hard and LOUD. hahah YOU KNOW, its like the aircon except you can hear different tones??? hahhaha dont worry guys i am not making fun of you, in fact i think it is DAMN cute. hahah. I COULDNT SLEEP hahahhahaha
Day 4
TODAY was PLAYDAY.... hahah . we didnt have any training and went bowling !!!!!!!!!!! hahh i was LOUSY.... HAHA. yes. but it was just the AWESOME cheap trill! hahha. then we went shopping, walked around ETC. hahha I FELT so sad today, cause it was like the last day ever, i just basically soaked in all the atmosphere---- the amazing friends around me, their laughter, more jokes, their smiles, gossip, you know its just INDESCRIBABLE happiness to sit with a grup of your best friends just chilling talking and LAUGHING your ass off. HAHAH. i love being around them. YOU KNOW, around true friends, you have nothing to hide, you are free to be yourself and they accept it. they accept your weirdest habits, your grossest thinking. When you dont have to hide behind clothes or money or a beautiful face. its simply MAGIC. seriously, i am smiling just thinking of it. hahha imagine you see a girl smiling dreamily at a computer, you know that that is me. haha.
AT NIGHT, the weirdest and scariest thing happened. Apparently there was a drunkard walking about on our level. DAMN FREAKY. we the sec ones decided to sleep over cause we were so scared. but shawna, charita and i had to go back to our rooms (at the other end of the level ) to take stuff. haha so we took Gayle's old racket(weapon) and slowly, quietly crept out, bending down everytime we walk past a door. HAHA it was really comical, we were like stupid spies DA
well, that is about it for my trip, actually, i dont think i benefitted the most in terms of badminton skill level, i think i just enjoyed being with the AWESOMEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD--- Chelsea, Gayle, Shawna, Charita, Pheobe, Sarah!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS TO THE MAX.
FRIENDS ARE AMAZING. only if you pick the right ones.
