Preview

Ok I have decided to post some photos that were taken during the Oakely All Girls' Wakeboard Day.
These photos were taken by professional photographers. As for those in my camera, I would probably post them up when (and if =p) I get the post done up.
I also added a group photo that was taken during the Substance Wakecamp in June.
Enjoy! =)

I love this group photo! The four (five actually including our WBA rep) decided that the color theme of the day was gonna be blue top and black bottoms. Unfortunately, Miss Li Xiang forgot and arrived in a pink top. -_-"

This was taken from another boat while we were riding. Li Xiang is putting on the bindings and to get ready to ride.

This was the group photo that was taken...well sorta group photo cos by the time they made an announcement for us to gather round, quite a few gals left already. In total, there were supposed to be 110 girls riding. I can barely count 50 here.

Last but not last, this photo was taken on the tige during the June Wakecamp. Our instructor, Kenny from Substance Watersports, is the cute guy on the right. It was a sheer test of endurance and skill riding from 9am to 6pm. Can die I tell you!

I had always thought that my blog was kinda private.

I had also always thought that only 2 people (my turtle friend and my guy) know about the existence of my blog and read it regularly.

I mean, sure, it is a place for me to write my thoughts and feelings, and of course, to record down the milestones in my life.

It is also a place where my very dear turtle friend in NZ will turn to everytime he wants an update of my life but am unable to catch me online on MSN (the fact that NZ is 5hrs ahead of Singapore doesn't help very much either!).

However, recently, I realised that my blog is not as private as I thought it would be. A couple of weeks ago, my wakeboarding instructor told me that he knew about my blog. More recently, or rather, yesterday to be precise, I bumped into a friend whom I have lost contact with sometime back at NTU and he told me that he reads my blog too.

Look like I better start to watch what I say in my blog...you never know who is reading!

************************************************************************************

On a totally different note, yesterday seems like a good day to be bumping into people who I have not seen in eons!

In the afternoon, when I was ta pao-ing lunch from my hall canteen, I met a friend there and she told me that she is working in NTU.

Later in the evening, when I was going back to hall after classes, I bumped into the guy who I mentioned earlier and he was working in NIE.

I never knew that I have so many friends working in NTU/NIE.

Most Interesting.

************************************************************************************

Remember that I was complaining a few posts back about how uni and hall life being more boring that I had thought it would be?

Well, looks like things are gonna change in a hurry!

Sports Trials for Inter-Hall Games are starting this week and I will be going for badminton, netball and softball trials.

In fact, I have been "arrowed" for the softball batter position since going for the softball "game" 2 weeks ago.

Badminton would just be for fun...wouldn't be too upset if I don't get into the team cos I know where my standard lies.

Netball would be good though. It's been a long time since I last played a proper netball game and I am looking forward to it.

There is also a recruitment going on to select players for the NTU Inter-School games. Badminton is out for this competition...too many good players for me to even consider going for the trials but I am considering going for the Netball trials for this too. Oh, and bowling too of course.

I wonder if I would be stretching myself too thin by taking part in so many events.

Not to mention that I have been selected to be a team rider in the NTU Wakeboard Club and will be representing NTU in the IVP league next June. This means that I have to start training seriously too.

Decisions...decisions...but I can now see that my NIE life would be very fulfilling as compared to how it was like 1 month ago.

Most Interesting Indeed.
p.s Ok I know that my Oakley All Girls' Wakeboard day and birthday post is kinda...er...late but I had been stuck at my lappy doing up assignments the whole of last week so...WAIT! =p

One year older...One year wiser?

Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to ANGELA (me lah!)
Happy Birthday to Meeeeeee...

So fast leh...another year has passed. It seems like just a couple of months ago when I celebrated my 25th birthday out at "sea" with my darling, my wakeboarding instructor Edward, and his birthday present to me, Mr Suter.

Not much celebration for me this year as I am busy juggling between assignments, dating and hall activities (though not much in that expect yet). My daddy will be coming to pick me up tomorrow evening and we will join my mummy and brother for dinner at IMM, before they send me back to hall again.

My guy is not gonna be around to celebrate my birthday with me this year though...he was posted to London for training last Sunday and will be there for 2 weeks. He did send me an email yesterday for our 3rd year anniversary though and he send me an sms couple of minutes ago to wish me Happy Birthday too. :) I am gonna make sure he gives me lots n lots of presents from London to make up on missing out 2 of the most important dates in our lifes man...*evil grinz*

As for the zoo family...hmm...I wonder if they are free to meet up for dinner over the weekend. Oh well...

Anyway, it is another 4 more years before I hit the big 3 but for the time being, I am pretty happy with my life and so will just sit back, relax, and be contented (at least for today).

Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to ANGELA (me lah!)
Happy Birthday to Meeeeeee...

Steve Irwin

I did not really wanted to blog about him as I am sure that millions of people have already done so.

However, the 4 years that I was in Melbourne, his highly entertaining documentaries had keep me amused and provided wonderful company when I was feeling bored.

Though some of his antics may not exactly be the smartest or best thing to do, I feel that since the guy is dead, we should spare a thought for his family and loved ones and keep all criticisms, if any, to ourselves.

Sides, he really did alot to help in wildife conservation and that is one undeniable fact.

Steve Irwin...you will be missed.

Rest In Peace.
