The Moment of Truth

Ah...am at players lounge with Alex and Ivan....and we're watching the Moment of Truth on Starworld while going online with our own respective laptops....this is how i usually spend my nights..wheeeeeee.....eeee....eee.......

Everybody SSSMMMIILLLEEEE!!!!

I had my massage today and omg it was like heaven! When i exit the room i always looked like i was stoned coz my face would be so so blur... I'm so sad that Neil(the masseur) is leaving for Canada just coz he wants to follow his girlfriend..not his wife...just his girlfriend...It's such a waste coz he's the best masseur ever! He told me that the reason my right side of my body is drooping is coz squash is a one handed game therefore my right side of my body is more developed. So he totally loosened me up with lots of pulling rubbing and stretching and cracking...daaaammmmmnnnn...it was soo freakin nice....

We went to pasar malam last night...bought 2 packets of semboi finished 1 and now my tongue still hurts eheh...erm....bump into the Singaporean squashers...ate 5 pieces of apom balik...Alex bought this honeydew shake thingy... i wanted to try but by the time i wanted to ask he finished it d...luckily Ivan bought 1 so i managed to take a sip...it was ok lah...

I got bitten by a mosquitoe riiiggghhht in the middle of my forehead...celaka.....

Oh... it's 11pm d...have to head back to my dorm before 12 if not i'll get locked out..Got training tomorrow morning and afternoon...haihzzzzz...

Anyhooo...ciaou for now!

Today we had our WISPA qualifying rounds...i'm glad that the draw had changed if not i would've had to play against the New Zealand gal who hits the ball as hard as a guy...so i ended up playing an Indonesian gal and i won....but guess who i had to play in the afternoon...(Lynnie, Bel, Vanna, Xora and Joanne might know if they remembered)...Zoe...yup..the Aussie gal who's coach called me a giant when i played her for the first time in Australia when i was 13. Ever since then if we play any of the same tournaments, we would always end up playing each other...

Unfortunately i lost this time round...but it was really close...3-1...11-8,8-11,11-7,12-10...the last 2 points she won by getting strokes...Shit...Damn sayang...IF i won i would've gotten like US200+ Oh well....I've learned alot though... I was too kan cheong when i'm leading so i lost my focus...damnit...

I can't wait for Christmas!!!!! Since the 1st of December i've been whistling and belting out Christmas songs when i shower either at the courts or gym... So i'm like the bathroom's jukebox...Here's the list of songs
1.Oh Holy Night
2.White Christmas
3. Hark the Herald Angels sing
4.Silver Bells
5.Joy to the World

Yeah...Yay for Christmas!! Can't wait for my mum and dad to come down to see meee!!!!

Ciaou

Hang clean squats and Pig's food

Argh... I'm so tired...again...yes i know...i'm always tired...but today was extra tiring. I had gym this morning and we started out with our movement skills to warm up(warm up meaning sweat-pouring-down-your-face kinda warm up not those sissy stretchy warm ups) and Stephen (Gym trainer) made us do ladder work and I was totally hopeless. No wonder i'm so stiff in the court. All the hopping and skippy shuffle thingy got my legs all tangled up...luckily Stephen was in a good mood to day or else....hmm...lets not go there..

Anyhoo, after our 'warm up' we headed to the gym where we did our gila babi Friday program where we do 3 specific exercises focusing on specific parts of our body without resting in between. There were like 4-5 diff types of groups so it was really high intensity.

Somewhere along the line of the third group of exercises i had Stephen shouting at me coz he wanted me to do a Barbell hang clean squat which is this
And as my technique was wrong blah blah blah and it was killing my legs, he was shouting stuff like
"Come on, come on!" "Stop being so weak!" "Don't go weak on me now!" "Push it!" "Weakness is not an option!"

I was like WTF!!!!!! There were so many peeps at that time in the gym; the badminton junior boys stopped whatever they were doing and stared, the synchro girls and karate girls were around also and it was quite embarassing really...

SO after all the exercises were done he was talking to us about our stretching etc etc then suddenly our conversation took a turn

Stephen: Oh yes, when i went to Carrefour a few days ago i saw Pushppa, Nessrine and Zulhijah at Mc Donalds.
Me: Oh (The way he was saying it i thought he caught them smoking or smtg)
Stephen: Do you know how much saturated fats were there in the food they were eating?Mc Donalds food is pig's food.
Me: *Cue big eyes*O.O!
Stephen:...only pigs eat Mc Donalds. It's all empty calories.
Me: (Trying to look at Stephen with a straight face pretending i wasn't thinking bout Mc D's french fries and chocolate sundae only minutes ago)
Stephen: If i ever catch you setting your foot in Mc Donalds, i promise you i will make your life here in the gym a living nightmare *cue thunder and lightning for effects*
Me: (left side of mouth twitching, trying not to laugh)
Stephen: Believe me, i will bury you in the gym if i ever catch you
Me:*Innocent look*

So yeah...if only he knew i was eating KFC for dinner 3 nights in a row last last month. Ohmygawd...
