The only time when it takes more strength to smile than frown...
OKay, this is an account of my match yesterday.
I participated in the female individual kumite (sparring). My opponent is this girl, Annie (not real name, but similar... very similar). I could tell that she was trembling even before she stepped on the tatami. She's my size, maybe slightly taller. After the first minute, I was leading 2-0. I tried to stall until time was up. But Annie got desperate and started spamming all her punches irrationally. I can honestly say her skill level is not there, but she was damn damn damn violent and aggressive.
The score soon became 3-2 with Annie leading. I seriously don't know what happened, the ref stopped giving me points. She did land one or two good punches but the rest were just desperate. She kept hitting my face, like really hard. She landed one critical punch so hard that it hit my nose bridge, I thought my nose was bleeding so I called for physical check. Everything was alright, my nose wasn't broken, but I was seeing stars because of Annie's many attempts to put me in concussion or perhaps coma. In the end the score was 3-3. We went into extra time. And Annie won 2-0. She got lucky.
Well of course, I wasn't happy. After the match, I wanted to congratulate Annie but she ignored me. Talk about sportsmanship... More like Arrogantshit. !@$%^^%**(*&^$#*^$@
My seniors had it much worse than me. One of them got disqualified on the spot for a minor foul, her opponent, Paula (not real name), knew how to fake it really well. I think the ref is her coach. Paula claimed she couldn't carry on with the match so the ref disqualified my senior. Effed up much? Since Paula won, she advanced to the next round where she was in perfect condition, no injuries or whatsoever. Way to go Paula... !@#$%^^&**&^$#@! I have video proof!
Our team won three medals by the end of the tournament. But the three winners decided not to accept the medal.
Yeaah, so anyway. My face hurts now especially my chin and jaw. I can feel the pinch when I smile and when I sing. Xiao Yi could tell that my face looked a little funny when she saw me just now. Thanks to Annie.

So tired....
That's all I've been saying these few days, and getting sick of it. I didn't mean to repeat it over and over, but it's by impulse. Sigh... I really am tired.
I really wanted to blog and upload pictures, but I'm having problems just completing my revisions and project assignments. And DARN! I still have to catch up with karate training. This reeks to the max. I hate complaining, cos that's what immature people do... So I shall stop the whining and complaining HERE. FULL STOP!
Forgive me if I'm cranky or stoned. I haven't been getting enough sleep these past few nights.
It's now 12.52am, I have to get up at 6.00am later to be in school at 7.45am for TPRAWKZ. Definitely not enough sleep. Not complaining...
Today's Cat Tech test was a confusion. I really didn't study much, last night I had such a bad headache that it hurts to even move a muscle. I slept at 11pm cos I couldn't take it anymore, planned to wake up at 6.00am to study, but I didn't :( was too tired.
Jehovah, be near my I pray... I can't do this alone.

Blessed SUNDAY
I had a great Sunday! It started of with church as usual, with a very inspiring sermon from Rev. Chang. I guess growing old is a burden to all of us, but not when we have God to accompany us on this long and winding road. The song that Rev. Chang sang was so touching, I was totally mesmerized by the melody and the lyrics. I can't really remember what they were right now, but they were very inspiring.
After a wonderful learning experience, I headed down to the Esplanade to have dinner with Da Yi and Chloe before the concert. I had laksa, it was way to creamy.
There was an autograph session after the concert, I managed to get my DVD autographed by one of the boys, he had such big and blue eyes, so cute! Hais... Da Yi got her DVD autographed by the conductor himself, what luck! I wanted him to sign mine too, but the ushers kept hurrying me on. The conductor had black curly hair, which makes him look quite dashing. He has a sense of humour too. Teehee~
Thank you Lord for that wonderful Sunday.

Every sentence, phrase and word.... I feel for it. Do you understand?
Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.
You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.
Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you

What better way to express hidden emotions then through a song? I can't get enough of this track, the lyrics are just amazing, it totally took the words right out of my mouth. I guess it takes real experience to comprehend these lyrics, and even more experience to pen them down. You never were the best for me...
It's November already, and Christmas is just around the corner. Can't wait! Many events coming up soon.
CEC Camp
FSN Malaysia Study Trip
Combind Youth Camp
YTU Orientation Camp
Christmas!
Zhi Yuan's dad gave the family a treat to a Sakura BBQ dinner at Punggol Marina yesterday. I really liked it =) especially cos it's with the whole family. The third generation ate the most I think, I was totally bloated although I was sure MZ and ZY still had space in their endless abyss.
There's an AdFS quiz this Wednesday and I haven't finished studying. Projects are draining my time away, I hope it doesn't come to the extent whereby I have to skip Choir practice on Sundays just so I can catch with my work. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. I wish I had a personal assistant to plan my time for me and remind me of my next step. Chloe perhaps? Nahhhhhhh....... Haha.
All of a sudden, home doesn't feel like a home anymore. The only place that's sanctuary is my own room when I'm alone in it. I should soundproof my room in order to block all the sanity before I go crazy. Madness.

Vienna Boys Choir, 8th November!!!
I've been wanting to watch their concert since I was in Secondary School, but then hor... It's sooo popular that it's always sold out within a few weeks, either that I have no money =P But I'm going next Sunday!!! Whoooppeee!!! I'm finally gonna listen to those angelic voices. Thank you mum and Da Yi. And thank you God! So exciting!! Finally I get to hear them in concert instead of just a CD.
Ohh and I'm going to the Body Worlds exhibition with Jui Wei and Daffy too, anyone else wanna come? A science student like me ain't gonna miss something as interesting as this! We're gonna see some preserved corpses of animals and humans! So cool. And there's gonna be a body donation drive.
Money money money....... I've been trying to save, like scrimping. After karate training today, the gang wanted to go for chilli crab opposite sch. Of course, I didn't join them.... If I did, it's easily gonna cost $14++, that's painful. Plus I have grading this Saturday and it costs $30. Well, it's time to economize my spending =)

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

No Surprise - Daughtry
Sprained my ankle a few days ago, not a few actually, it's been quite a while. I'm having difficulty walking, just a little. Hope it gets better soon, I have Karate grading coming up next Saturday. I'm gonna be full brown^^ I went for training yesterday and only made the sprain worse, dumb move... Maybe I was just too desperate to catch up with training that I forgot about that my ankle is injured. I was benchwarmer for most of the 3 hours. No more high heels for the time being =(
Projects projects projects.... I've got 5 this semester. And out of these five, I had to be group leader for the most major and difficult one - Health & Wellness. How can we bring alcohol education to students? Beats me...
I'm looking forward to Christmas^^ It's my favourite holiday of all time! I love singing carols, I love the atmosphere and most of all I love the reason we celebrate it. Need I say more? Teehee!
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay...

So school begins....
The first two days weren't that bad, new classmates...it's a totally different environment. I have chosen the food science track instead of the nutrition path, which majority of the cohort picked. I am isolated away from my pals, sigh. Ohh well, you can't choose your colleagues =) I hope I can click with my new classmates. So far I only got to know Crystalla, Jake and Ben.
This semester I am taking some interesting modules - Advanced Food Science, Health & Wellness, Catering Tech, Food Processing and Packaging and Food Product Quality Assurance Project.
I sat with Karen and BK during AdFS lecture this morning. BK is so hilarious! When Karen mentioned she played the french horn in band, he was totally traumatised because he had that same fate in secondary school, he didn't believe her at all. HAHA! Karen and BK kept shooting insults at each other with me seated inbetween, I had such pleasurable entertainment during lecture. Can't imagine how they're gonna survive as classmates.
Tomorrow I have only one freaking hour of school. I'm sorely tempted to pon, but I have training in the evening...
keep moving forward, 9:34 PM.
