Warning: Long entry. Read at ur own risk.Mission accomplished. I'm used to not having too much chilli alr. It's nice to look at some pics at Wenya's blog. Good to see the gurls smiling. I dunno why also. There were somethings that the gurls said that hit me. Esp Yirang's
"We wanna win for different reasons but we have a common goal." Well said man. At least it does apply for me? My reason(Believe it or not): I do it for the seniors (esp those who are in the team for e last year). Plus, like Theresa said, come on, we've food ban and 4-times-a-week training. All for Regatta. And this was it. We must do it. Seriously, I never thought i can be a drummer. I thought I didn't do a very good job as a drummer. I was too "high", esp for the first race. I didn't echo with Lijun. 2nd race I did try. In the middle of the race, I was like a crazy woman whacking the drum. At the end of the race, it's quite sad to see all the gurls looking so down while e winning teams are cheering. But i had to say
"Gurls, you all did well." Cos I really saw the fighting spirit. I did. To see the seniors, who always put up a strong front, crying was... abit the heartpain. I totally forgot about what cindy said. I wanted to be strong but I still teared (Sorry). and the prob is I dunno how to an wei ppl.
"No more individuals" -Geok. wah. that one was like combo. First thing in my mind "Don't tell me she reads my blog too.....". After Regatta was feasting at lau pasat. BBQ STINGRAY, SOTONG, KANGKONG (My top 3 fav!), FRIed OYster, HoKkEIn PRAwN MEE, ChAR KUAY TEOW, ROJAK, FRUITS and this fried taufoo or dunno what's tt but very nice! oh yes. To perfect things, each a cup of sugar cane! Some of us went 7-11 to get beer as we walked towards esplanade. drink drink talk talk. BC suddenly suggested b4 we go everyone shall haf a tequila shot each. She managed to on everyone. Went in. sit down. ordered 6 shots. Then the waitress sudden come back and tell us happy hr buy 1 get 1. so we got 12 shots. Ppl started getting high. Then we ordered 5 more which means 10 more la. Ppl got higher. Meijie one shot alr.... was laffing all the way for no reason, saying that she's perfectly fine, and did some crazy things one of it: my wallet dropped then she went to kick it further. To be honest, I was like *#&$*(#@^$&*#@^$&*(#. She said it was a ball. !!! ok win alr. Liddat I cannot blame her alr lor. They played this salt licking lemon sucking+tequila game. My goodness. I thought it was obscene. But if I dun play, wait they say I dun haf *hit chest* again. Actually my idea of drinking was I want to get high. But i didn't and the rest did. Not trying to boast my drinking threshold or whatever.
PLEASE don't call me Jiu gui. I so wanted to get high n be so depress but couldn't. In the end see other ppl high. sian.
At the end of Regatta, I wanna thank a few people (eh sorry, make speech). This particular person in the team. Thanks for believing in me (at least I think you do) and make me feel that I can do something for the team. It's a very good feeling to know that there's someone who believes in you. And those people who made me feel like I'm part of the team as well. Those who told me to "jia you".
I dunno why but everytime I'm down after training, I'll think of Uncle Jansen. How I wish he can come back to Singapore. I will bowl again. I first met him while i was training alone at the alley. He was like sitting around with his friends, lim kopi. Then he suddenly came up and told me my mistakes and stuff. Then offered me training. He's this guy who trusted me so much and I trust so much. This coach-cum-GodFather whom I know is always behind me. Whom everytime I get a strike, he'll be behind to gimme a high 5. When I missed, he'll be there to correct me. N the best thing. He charged no training fee. He even paid for my lane fee sometimes, bought me 2nd hand balls, got me new bowling shoes (dexter sst4), shared his fried rice with me, treat me malibu dream (his fav drink in coffee bean) and this part i nv told anyone b4 but he gave me allowance sometimes. He asked for nothing in return. Whatever fatal mistakes he'd done,
I respect him no less. and I know there're alot others who respect him just as much. He's now coaching the Jakarta Youth Team, managing the bowling alley. It's so good to know that he can start afresh there. It's good to hear from him once in a while. Sometimes, I wonder how come i'm so fortunate to meet him.
I really thank God for that. I think he's a gay. Wasted. :( (eh.. not talking bout Uncle Jansen hor)
