lo and behold

heya lcia-ers! what's up with all of you? haven't seen you all ard at all!!! all mia-ing. except robs. at least i noe she's off to cambodia for missions. just got back from church camp at the singapore's one and only sports school. wonder how tight the security is over there? think 10 times nj. cards here, keys there. maybe they should consider using biometrics, a term i came to know of only when christina's group did that subject for pw. think i'm getting old -- my group leaders for this year and last year were younger than me!! i guess we have to praise God for raising such a generation that no one's too young to serve Him. :) even the games and worship and so many more stuff were undertaken by youths! and all these for His kingdom and glory. amen.

came home on tuesday afternoon, with half-tank energy. thought i could last through the night, but was like a dead log on bed till 9 the next morning. that's when all the smses came flowing in!! scary stuff. sji friendly on thursday at 10am, rgs friendly on friday -- haven't trained for a week or so, haven't informed the rest of the team (and it's wednesday when i got the news!!). glad that some of them could make it despite the super last-minute message. then it was gift-wrapping cip with ros and des at funan. super boring! but ros did fairly well entertaining us with her stories. met up with my family for dinner after that and shopped a bit at taka. quite glad to spend some time with them after being busy all throughout this holiday. take that as some comfort. :)

ok so the next day began with me getting up early and actually being at nj on time for training before the sji friendly. jiatian was early too. haha. cat came in a bit late (consider it early according to her standards). i think we talked more than we trained then we walked out the long way and took a bus to sji, the one and only 156. jiatian came up with a theory that if we didn't think of 156, it'll come faster. so we tried to do it her way, not exactly, but 156 came pretty soon after that. but still we were late. the guys were not at the bus stop, went in without us. if it were the other way, i'm sure the girls would have waited for them. anyway, we played with the sji guys, ben's juniors. the sji guys were good, most of them, relative to our standard. one of the sec 1s could even beat zhinvee! hmph. says a lot about our training. i played with this sec1 guy called joel. he's quite short, quite handsome, but has some attitude. haha. his serves always go out of court, and when his friends give him advice, he'll have the 'i know, but i can't correct it' look. the coach was quite funny. and he used to coach nj a few years back, but now we've got zainal, which is cool too, except that he's not as funny. haha. played a bit of queen before we packed up and left for town.

had lunch at pastamania with jiatian, cat, ben and weesiang, after which jiatian and cat joined huiming, pam and i roaming around orchard, particularly cine and heeren. took neoprints with huiming and pam at heeren, while jiatian and cat patronised the mix&match store, which proved to be pretty handy when jiatian, cat and i went over to cine to catch national treasure. didn't know what was the fuss with national treasure until we watched it. it was good. kind of boring initially, or maybe i was just tired after squash in the morning. cat and jiatian were hilarious! both of them were like covering their eyes at crucial moments of the movie, and it wasn't anything close to a horror flick! haha. then it was home sweet home. rgs friendly postponed to next tuesday, and some of us gathering back at sji tomorrow for another round of friendlies, this time with jjc as well. :)

so what's up with the rest of you? update la.
