Badminton workshop was so much funnnnnnnnnnnnnn! :D :D :D

Today's workshop activity was at Tessensohn (?!) Clubhouse, near Farrer Park MRT. The place looks like some kind of resort, but I reckon it isn't. Looks a bit old, though. ;~;

Team reached the clubhouse at around 9:30 am and trained at this big big hall (8D) for the first few hours. Did rotation with Qianling. :D Our rotation was so sucky! Haha. :x Did netting and flicking with Zouyou and Chunxian after that. My flicking rocks man. .__.

And finally it was ROCK-CLIMBING TIME! :D The entire back wall of the hall is the rock-climbing wall, segmented with different colours. The trainers are friendly! Melisa TOON, Hairul, Stromper (LOL!), Nigel and Siying, :D We were taught the commands for rock-climbing and also shown a demo by Alicia Ehhliiciiahhszx x3 . :B

Before you start climbing, you have to ask, "Am I on belay?" and after the trainer answers, "Belay on," you have to say, "Climbing," and the trainer will reply, "Climbing on." Then you can start your climb. :D And halfway climbing, if you want to rest, you have to shout, "Tight," so the trainer can tighten the rope for you, and "Climbing," to resume. When you've successfully reached the top, you have to say "Tight," and "Lower me." Then you'll be happily lowered down to the ground. :D

After the instructions, we started climbing the wall. 8)
To my relief, I wasn't as bothered about the height when I climbed the wall, because the walls are quite high. ;~; I guess it's because I was too busy trying to climb my way up. :x It's tiring though, having to push your body up the rock supports consistently. But I reached the top on my first climb! It's my first time doing rock-climbing too. :D I think it's.. not bad? For a first time. ._.
I LIKE THE WAY DOWN HAHAHA. It's fun to tread the wall down! :D
Yay I like rock-climbing. But it's quite tiring. I had sore arm muscles after the rock-climbing, prolly because my arms are weak. o.o

Went back to the courts for training after that. Did V-shape lobbing with Alicia under Mr. Cheok. I hate my pea-sized strength. -.-

Later, the singles players came back from the Pilot Pen competition, and we went for BOWLINGGGGGGGGGGG. 8D!

Haven't played bowling for so long already. Like, one plus year? I think. ._.
Played with Xinyi, Qianling and halfway in the game Dawn and Weiyue too, in one lane. [: Totally forgot how to bowl and the bowling ball kept going into the longkang gutter at the very end of the lane. T.T Damnnnnz! Got 37 points for the first round, Xinyi got 71 (!) and Qianling got 28, if I'm not wrong.
Lmaoz Yangyu's/Zeli's/Nicholas' group was damn funny. Anyhow throw hit longkang laff laff laff. :B And Zhicheng's super pro la. ;~;
Took some photos while bowling, shall post them up sooooon. [:

Kk about yesterday's outing, 8D

Went to Orchard Cine with Mag to watch Koizora (obviously, with the large bold attention-seeking "Koizora" in the previous post). Tix is 10 bucks!!! Wth. ;~; And it was Mag's first time at Orchard Cine after so long. Haha, noob. :x
Caught the 4:25 pm movie, ended at around 6:30 pm. Went to Heerens for Mag to continue her endless hunt on her wallet. :B Left and went to Kino, at Taka. Walking distance only!!! Didn't know it was so near. x_x Had super funny squabbling with Mag while finding our way to Taka Shopping Centre from the departmental store.

- - - - -

Eg.;
(Mag and I were at the departmental store, squabbling comically about how to go to the shopping mall)
Mag, "Aiya must get out of this place first! Then can go to the shopping centre!"
Me, "Here got connection one la!"
Mag, "NOOOO must get out from here firstttt!"
Me, "AIYA @^#%@#! (LOL) There got the directory map la, go there see."

(Approaches this directory map beside the escalator.)

Me, *points to Taka Shopping Centre at the 3rd floor box, "The shopping centre's at the third floor!"
(Because I brought us down to the first floor from the second previously,)
Mag, "SEE LA YOU, SAY DOWNSTAIRS GOT THE SHOPPING CENTRE, IN THE END IT'S AT THE THIRD FLOOR! Now must go all the way up again!!!"
Me, "AIYA NVM LA GO BACK LA!"
(Takes escalator to third floor and approach map again)
Me, *points to Taka Shopping Centre in the map, "SEE I TOLD YOU GOT CONNECTION! SEE!!!"
Mag, "Aiyaaaaaaaa~"
(Continue walking and try to find our way to the linkway; see another directory map and refers again)
Mag, "EH WE'RE AT THE SAME PLACE AGAIN! O__________O"
Me, "Huh where got?! The linkway's here now la you toot! *points to the left side (it was bottom at the prev referring)
Mag, "OH. HAHAHAHA!" *starts laughing like shit. ._.
(I led the way and found the linkway and Mag starts going sot again)
Me, "SEE I FOUND THE CONNECTION HAHA!"
Mag, "YEAH RIGHT LA I FOUND THE CONNECTION LOR!"
Me, *glares at Mag, "TSK WHR GOT! IS I FIND ONE LOR!"
Mag, "PI LOR IS ME LOR!"
Me, "Yeah la whateverrrr la. Hey look a (?)(I forgot what I saw)!
Mag, "Don't (?) me la, you!" (HAHA)

(We went the wrong way, the opposite direction from Kino and Mag brought us back to the right way to Kino)

Mag, "SEE KINOKUNIYA IS HERE LA YOU TOOT!"
Me, "Toot what toot! At least I not so LU CHI (no sense of direction) like YOU lor! So noob! You didn't even know the departmental store got connection to here and you still thought you were at the same place from anyhow looking at the map, even after we walked so much!"
Mag, *Laughs, "But I really thought I was at the same place lor!" (LOL -_-)

(After a bit walking.)

Mag, "Hey look, donut!" *points to some donut toy thing in a shop display.
Me, "Don't DONUT me la, you! LU CHI!"

HAHA. I got so tired from silly squabbling with Mag lor! CRAZY TARDDD. Then I was like,

Me, *panting, "SEE LA YOU, MAKE ME SO TIRED FROM ARGUING WITH YOU! YOUR FAULT LA!"
Mag, *goes bug-eyed O.O, "WHAAAT? MY FAULT?! Anyhow put the blame on me! TSK!"

:B

- - - - -

Okay anyway we found our way to Kino in the end, NO THANKS TO MAG. HAHA.

I went straight to the Design and Arts (something like that?) section, dragging Mag with me. :B Then I saw this Naruto manga set on a shelf below the Design and Arts sign and I was like, "NARUTO also counted as design and arts ah?! O.O" Then Mag said maybe it's because it's anime. Haha!

AND I FOUND MY ENLIGHTENMENT AT THE GRAPHICS DESIGN BOOKSHELVES OMGWTFBBQZ!!! ♥♥♥ Holy design books! *kowtows and bows. I am SO gonna buy myself a book on graphic design asap! <3
Spent quite some time digesting on a book on graphic design for illustrators, I think. The book showed mostly about designs by renowned designers and illustrators. They even included the designer for Trexi in!!!!! Trexi is like uberkewt and uberkewl kkkkk. Too bad I don't have enough $ to afford collecting it. x_x
Oh and Mag BANGSEHED me to hunt for her cheena novels (:x) while I was reading my graphics design book. LOL, kiddinggg. She came back after some time with the Koizora novels ONE AND TWO (!!!!!), and another novel called I Love You. She also brought a book about TKA stuff for me to see. :B I think it's about the show and extra stuffs, heh.
Yay and Mag's lending me the Koizora books after she finishes reading it. Yay Mag Ilyyyy! :D And I want to buy that I Love You novel too, seems interesting. And hopefully this time I'll get to actually finish a chinese book, zomg. :l
In the end, Mag bought the Koizora books with 20% discount each book. I didn't buy anything, but I earned myself a mind of enlightenment and inspiration from lovely graphic design books. 8D 8D 8D

Went to Wisma next, because we happened to walk to the building unknowingly, somehow. -_-
Walked around for a bit. Went to Ripcurl for Mag to see wallets again. XD She didn't see anything nice, so we went window shopping. We walked round and round and went downstairs and upstairs again without noticing. HAHA. And we saw Celeste Chen and Xubin. .__________.! Mag pulled me to stalk them. -.- Which was just following them by taking the same escalator. Lmao. And they happened to start kissing on the way downstairs. -.- Then they left the building, and we were like zomg-ing and unable to digest who we saw because we were half-asleep and spacing out when we did.

Decided to go home at 8:30 pm because it was late already. We took the train at Orchard and spent the journey reading the starting of Koizora book 1. :D


God okay I've finally finish my ramblings. I'm doggone tired now, especially because the whole retarded Squabble-With-Mag chunk of rubbish drained most of my energy. Cus I had to recall what we said that day. ._. But nah, the conversation is around 80% the same as the original. :D

Okay yay nights xo. back to top?
