Tournament Snooker

I wasn't supposed to play, i wasn't there when they signed up, i went to school feeling very down on monday. I could see the excitement that was waiting to explode within the eyes of teck and yuan hong and the rest, they pitied me, but i was unconsolable, i didn't show it though, i just wished them good luck. During reccess, wei zhou was busy trying to cheer me up. Towards the end of the reccess, wei zhou realised his great folly, he realised that a team could have 4 reserves instead of two, he then wrote my name on the excuse form and since they already told mr yeo i was playing, it wasn't much of a problem. So i was really excited but a little doubtful that i can go. But i did, and in the end, we met mr yeo and took a cab here, me, teck, wei zhou, kenneth, yuan hong, darren and aaron. When we got there, most of the teams were already warming up, and we were late, we looked at the other teams, ACS(barker), presbyterian high, montfort, and several others, they were all so professionally dressed, outram sec even wore long sleeved shirts and black leather shoes, they had coaches and many teachers surrounding them, while we, rushed over with our bags, with mr yeo and our cues, and we looked nooby and unprofessional.

Our match started soon after, with teck siang playing first, against montfort secondary, and since i wasn't in the starting lineup, i was told to be a ref for the other teams...... how nice, looking and keeping score of 4 games of snooooker.... i was standing alone there, refing outram sec and presbyterian sec's match and their's was the slowest everrr match, they were all so dry, potting at first but spending the next hundreds and million minutes just hitting balls that don't go in.. so i watched teck's first match, he was freaked, the first in the tournament, against a small cute, cuddly, chubby, adorable sec 1-2 montfort kid. When they started, teck attempted to smash his confidence by potting a red and a blue, a total of 6 points, but the boy wasn't impressed, and instead, smashed teck's confidence, he was a powerhouse, he pocket balls with great accuracy and was a master of snooking, making teck unable to hit several balls, when i saw the boy's ball hitting streak, and teck's off form face, i knew for sure, the first match was gonna be there, teck looked like some idiot standing there, getting thrashed by a pro, and teck was playing unprofessionally, at that point, we thought we had underestimated the the level of play of the competition, i mouth to teck, "wake up!" and he managed a weak smile. Then, teck returned at the turn of the tide, he started making several good shots, and surprisingly, the young boy's confidence was shattered, the young boy seemed to turn to what teck was, he missed many shots and didn't play well, at first, when we saw the boy score point after point, i thought he must have got at least forty points. But when i saw teck running the table for a really long while, with the boy missing a trillion shots, without looking at the score, you'd surely have the gut feeling that teck's score must have leveled with the chap's score. And when i saw teck pot the colored balls, i thought that he must have far overtaken the lad, i was so engrossed with their match, i didn't even notice all the fouls that occured in my match, till my montfort helper told me. finally teck pocketed the black ball, then i saw him smiling happily and walking back , seized him and asked him if he won, he told me they drew, when he returned the others, wei zhou was hugging him and the others were just congratulating him, but afterwards, he was recalled to pot the black once more, to decide the winner, this was worrying for me, i was afraid he'd lost, he started and he missed, now it was the lad's turn, can he do what he did before? I mean, he's the super lad! how could he not? i thought to myself, he's gonna pot it, dude, he's superlad, but maybe because all that was left of his thin glass of confidence were tiny shards on the floor, he missed the middle pocket narrowly, our reaction were all, "whawaaaaaaa, heng ah...." And teck, being inconsistent today, worried us a little, but with ease, he potted the black, and we all clapped, what can we say? Nothing much but pure brilliance

A remarkable comeback, From a miserable thrashing, teck turned the tide and made an unbelievable comeback, who could have thought of that? I congratulate and commend teck on his brillance but i want to beat his buttocks for his inconsistency, but still, we had won amazing game in hand, next was Master Tian.

Master Tian was up against, who we believed was the best among them, we rejoiced, for we knew, we had the game in hand, for which best was good enough to beat that bloody veteran? In fact, wei zhou's matches are boring, no excitement, because we know for sure, that the opponent might as well walkover rather than play, cause wei zhou's gonna do what he does, to look like an old man and thrash the opponent. So ya, he lived up to his expectations, and he beat their best player not by alot, but well, still do what he went to do----with easeeee.

Next was kenneth, now this was pretty unsure, i wasn't sure about kenneth, i had an instinctive feeling that he would lose, because i just know kenneth's not meant to play snooker, so i told my instincts to shut up and i had to slap myself a few times before they did. I love my instincts! it was right again, kenneth played very badly, he even jumped a ball while trying to screw, if i'm not wrong... And he was thrashed 70 plus to 30 plus. When he got back, he received a big scolding from that tian kid, lots of criticism, tian kid was utterly disappointed.

Then next was another worry, it was aaron up, i say worry for i haven't really seen him play and according to wei zhou, he says he isn't very good, but having seen him play pool, i predicted that he'll be ok, but still lose, when he walked past me, i told him, "Win this aaron!" and he gave me that sly smile. We were all on tenterhooks, because we were unsure of his ability and with his first shot, he cannoned the cue ball and all the balls jumped about, with that kindof shot, ......, when i looked at wei zhou, he immediately covered his face in grieve. Luckily he was playing against their lousiest player, and although aaron played anyhow, he lost by one point. We went home punching our faces, knowing that we could've won.







Then Second day of the tournament was even more exciting, i told myself that i wouldn't go this time, but when i met wei zhou he told me i had to go, or we wouldn't make a team of 6, since kenneth doesn't want to go anymore, and wei zhou told me either me or yuan hong would play. We had many discussions and wei zhou told me to challenge yuan hong and that the winner shall play, at this time, i was afraid, i could thrash yuan hong easily in pool, but i have had many problems breaking through my psychological barrier he set up for me when i play snooker against him, he's a psychological bomb, you'll see later why in the upcoming exciting events that follow, and i, am a foolish brat who cannot control his emotions and his impatient. Throughout the chem lesson, i was nervous, nervous that i would not be able to play, and nervous about the match against outram if them play, because i've seen them play when i refed their match, they all had ear piercings and all looked intimidating, and they were pretty good. Wei zhou worked it all out, he said that if we lost the match against outram, as long as we win the match against presbyterian, we could progress into the semis, but if we won this match, and lost to pres, we might not, because outram beat pres and have 3 points, montfort have 1 point, we have 1 point, and pres have 0. If we lose, we keep our 1 point and will have 4 if we beat pres, and if pres beat montfort, they'll only have 3, and mont would also have 4, so we might still get in.

When it was time to go, i was really very fidgety. But with our wonderful 3e2 classmates cheering and supporting us, we grabbed hold of that little bit of confidence. When we reached there, we met a guy called jason whom mr yeo hired for a while to teach us. He told us to snook or play safe whenever we feel that we didn't have the confidence to pocket any shots, so me and yuan hong tried a few shots to see who'll get the place. I did, but i imagined myself for a moment, there, with the outram fella, i suddenly wanted to puke, i told wei zhou to let him play, i couldn't undertake the pressure and had totally no confidence of my skills, call me a coward, but i really wasn't ready that day. Lee Hexun is ranked at 3, the shark, the highest in TPA, notice the P in TPA stands for pool, and i excel in pool, not snooker, i was unsure of my snooker skills, and even if yuan hong goes down, let him drag his opponent down too! With Yuan hong there, his opponent might feel the need to see a psychiatrist or even call my mom for psychological help. This time, yuan hong was to start the ball rolling.

Yuan hong started and the match slowly progressed, we highly doubt yuan hong's pocketing skills, but we do not, for a single moment, doubt his psychological skills. Of course, yuan hong is the master of luck and suprise. From the start, just by looking at yuan hong's small and skinny frame, with that happy happy haha face and that never unsmiling smile, i'll say every snooker/pool player will surely think that they're gonna win, with a possibility of 98%. I was always that snooker/pool player, i've been tricked, and i'm happy that this time, i'm gonna see them get tricked, hahahahahha. Even teck commented, " I think the guy see yuan hong also no mood to play already.." We agreed, yuan hong was always laughing and smiling at his mistakes, and he played the game very slow, and snooked and played safe many many trillion times, we were all proud and unimpressed of him, because we know him. His pure personality plays the game, not him, before long, his opponent was frustrated, he kept missing and missing, and he was totally pissed, while yuan hong was missing and smiling, playing safe and grinning, now, who wouldn't be frustrated now? Looks like this guy is unable to beat yuan hong's psychological barrier, he was totally disheartened, and missed even the simplest of shots. And scratched (meaning, pocketing the cueball, which is a foul of 4 points, depending on the situation) 5-6 times, can you believe it? Yuan Hong dropped his never ceasing psychological bomb on that fella, beat and killed 6899 x 10^49 of his brain cells and stole like, forty points! We never gave up hope on yuan hong, when he made mistakes, i was at the seats to give him a thumbs up and we were all laughing at the game, with that happy happy haha yuan hong face and that totally flustered opponent's face. Yuan Hong committed a grave mistake, and lost 4 crucial points, the opponent, having been psyched, potted the green and the cueball too. Yuan Hong didn't know they respotted the green, so he proceeded to aim for the brown, at that moment, we were all like: lskdghjsngnwqngwkrng;knwergnqn~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!! OY!!!!!!!!!!! Until i couldn't stand it i shouted Yuan Hong! Yuan Hong looked over with that question mark look, and i couldn't tell him, if not it wouldn't be fair, but yuan hong wasn't aware of his impending doom, and all we could do was, .....oh no! And he did it, when Yuan Hong realised his mistake, he laughed, hahah. Another crucial mistake was when the opponent, being too psychologically disturbed, scratched again, yuan hong had a clear and easy shot, and he missed, in the end, yuan hong lost by a margin, but we were all eager to congratulate him, for losing, haha, but no, we were proud of him for almost killing his opponent, his opponent was on the verge of going totally crazy, he was already 80% psyched. And we were all laughing with yuan hong, we called him the feeder, he pocketed less than 5 balls but went head to head with that guy and fed on his flaws and mistakes, and he managed to suck out 40 over points! THATS STUNNING! TO GAIN 40++ POINTS BY BEING HIMSELF??!!@!@ I was very happy with his performance and i stole him away to have a snack with him, there, i was busy telling him how unbelieveable he was and that i couldn't have got that far if i played (i'm unsure). I was really glad that day.

Then was teck, and he played against an indian, who was said by a few of us to be the best, teck, influenced by jason's word of advice to play safe when you've no confidence, totally wrecked his own game, teck, was an aggresive player, and for the whole game, he daren't pocket many balls for he wanted to play safe. It was a really tough match, and he lost 40-48. He was totally psyched by them, their whole team was there cheering that fella and disturbing teck, and their coach was really really irritating, all teck had was me, wei zhou, and yuan hong quietly standing behind him. But i congratulate Teck, nerves of steel, to play against their best is one mean mean feat. Teck Siang went back to the seats cursing nonstop, he wasn't happy about losing, and said that that guy wasn't even their best, he wasn't happy, and he cursed jason for disrupting his style of play. But he really put up a good fight.

Next was that boring guy tian, we didn't even bother to be excited, it'll just be another boring win, i shan't elaborate, all i can say is, he gave that guy alot of chance, but what else more can i say?


Last of all was Aaron, against another rumoured best, by then, we were the only team playing, and everyone was watching us. They started, and we were all curious at that chap's style of play, he seemed very good, but either he was frustrated at missing some shots and having his frustration influence him, or he really was a lousy player. But aaron played very well, much better then he did yesterday, he was serious, but cold, he even borrowed a sweater from another player from presbyterian. Aaron received several applauses from the spectators and surprised us, we were pretty amazed, and throughout the end, we were convinced that that fella was a noob, cause he kept missing. But during the last few shots, while we were clinging on to hope of winning, that guy just potted the pink and the black so easily, then we realised, he's good, haha, we lost, again, but we came here expecting to lose, we have to beat presbyterian tomorrow or teck would have to go to detention on thurs, hhaha. And we were kindof worried as pres beat montfort today, although that adorable boy was a steamroller against one of the pres guys and totally flattened him, maybe yesterday he was err, unlucky? Judging by yuan hong's superb play today, i declined to play tomorrow for i believe, to play yuan hong would be a much better effect. We'll see if teck goes to detention on thurs by tomorrow morning, goodbye.

The Dragon awakens

Much to my dismay, i will not be going for the snooker tournament anymore. I was at the church camp when mr yeo, at the eleventh hour, told the tpa about the tournament, and they failed to sign me up for they could not contact me. But when i returned, although there was much confusion, and the forms were already sent, darren kindly gave me his place for he told me he didn't want to go. When wei zhou called wiraka, they didn't answer. I was elated at first, but i knew, how could it be so perfect? Something will hinder me from going to this tournament. Facing my mid-life pool crisis, i was at the pinnacle, where my skills shone, but pool was fading, i don't need pool, to live. I wanted to quit after the pool tournament, only to find out that it had been changed to snooker and my friends didn't sign me up for they thought i wouldn't like a snooker tournament. It wasn't meant for me to go, i knew it, firstly, mr yeo had to inform them so late, just perfectly while i was away, and when wei zhou called wiraka for the change, they didn't pick up, and they only did after 10 days before the tournament, where a change was allowed, and so, the change was disallowed. It was never meant for me to go, i do not regret going to the church camp, thank you, wei zhou for putting so much faith onto me, but, i quit.

Last Post: The Sea calls me Home

I have tried, and failed terribly to become one of them, i struggle daily over this evil in me, and i have failed, succumbed to its calling, even with communication with Him i have allowed them to linger, i have the others, the wise and faith-filled to learn from, them i can rely on, but the opportunities of reunion lies only in days of break. And while these days of hope come to pass, i eventually have to meet those that ensnare and corrupt my mind, making me one of them, they linger at the source of enlightenment. I had a choice to enter such a place, but i didn't weigh the consequences of the importance, that hinders me from that rightful path. I need God, i need a breakthrough...

Verse

诗篇23:1-4
耶和华是我的牧者,我必不会缺乏。 他使我躺卧在青草地上,领我到安静的水边。 他使我的灵魂苏醒;为了自己的名,他引导我走义路。
我虽然行过死荫的幽谷,也不怕遭害。因为你与我同在。你的杖,你的竿,都安慰我。

Chapter 35- Concentration Camp

I announce my return to the blogging world, but i wouldn't blog as actively as i did before. I'm here to report to the people about how fun concentration camps can be. Let's start with the weekends before the camp, i took a helicopter and searched far and wide throughout singapore to search for nice nice track pants, but i only bought one in the end, so i frantically searched for an answer to whether or not we needed two, after drying my tears caused by the need for one more pants, while i flung my brother's closet open, i found one pair of track pants that he never wore, i have two! =D So i pack pack lor, then on tues go to school lor. Only after i got on the bus did i get excited, then, i was so excited that i slept on the bus, how exciting!!, i only slept for 1 min, while the clock was ticking into 2 mins, that xuan thing had to wake me up, i'm a poor victim to these terrible tormentors, can't they let me sleep even for 2 mins on the way to concentration camps? So we got thru everything and soon arrived at our venue, some rundown malay village, i didn't feel so then, i just wanted to get to my room, with aircon, and nice comfy beds, and big spacious clean toilets. We were all instead baking in the sun, entertaining ourselves by learning cheers. So after some introduction by the innotrek trainerrs, we were finally led to our dream rooms, wow! no aircon! one fan, sqeaky old beds! and worst of all, wonderful manual flush toilets!!! We definitely weren't happy, i could take it all, but the thing i can't take most is the toilet, i need, a goooood toilet, i cannot use those toilets. So after we changed to shorts, i went out hoping that i wouldn't have to use the toilet for anything besides peeing, i mean, let's imagine passing motion, its something wonderful and soothing if you can do it in a nice sparkly clean toilet with cold seats, passing motion is a time to enjoy, so, can you imagine doing it in there!??@$?>!@# Here, is where the phrase of the year 2006 first came about, '' i should've gone to china man!"

So, e2 was seperated into 2 groups, group 3 and group 4, with wei ning leading 3 and aza leading us, in four, i felt quite lucky as i felt that aza is the funnest trainer there, so if my memory hasn't failed me yet, we gathered, aza learned our names, and we called our group bloop bloop after his nickname. after some briefing, we got to cook our own food. I wasn't very happy then for my stomach was rumbling and they were still briefing us.... Finally, after years of stoning and fly swatting, they got some rice cooked, rice with egg with oyster sauce. After seeing the whole group eating a mouthful of rice each and moping their salivated lips against that same spoon, leaving their irresistable tasty saliva on the spoon, i thought twice, but with my hunger pangs slashing at my stomach with their claws, i had to eat a spoonful! mmmm, it wasn't exactly good nor was it that bad either, but i had to live with it, i was trying to eat as much, and that mrs how had to keep laughing at how i had to swallow each mouthful with excruciating pain. So, we all left later on, those food i ate didn't even satisfy a quarter of one of my hunger pang cell's hunger. i've forgotten what came next, but if i got it wrongly, i'll update again. But i only remember i kept asking when was dinner. Then i think we got to the waterfalls next. The going up journey was still manageable as we were still fresh, and when we reached the waterfall, i decided against going in for, c'mon! we still have a return journey and i wouldn't want to get wet. But, i just followed yuan hong and he went in, so i reluctantly stood there, until i was dragged by an unknown monster into the freezing river. I failed to see how everyone could enjoy themselves, our group members were all happily hee hee hahaing, while i was freezing, and my teeth were chattering, but the swim was invigorating as it refreshed all of us. Here comes the part where phrase of the year 2006 begins to make itself known as the phrase of the year 2006. Really, firstly, the trainers took a wrong turn, then we started taking a different route, a long perilous journey which was supposedly a shortcut back to our ''holiday resort'' But as we started to trudge aimlessly for hours, hope started to fade, with people falling one by one into the darkness of the leeches, i began to suspect that we were lost, the trail was untouched, with branches and booby traps sticking out. After seeing many hapless people losing their sanity to leeches, screaming their lungs out in pure pure pure horror, i began to worry, how many were crawling and sucking my tasty blood now? But i did not dare check, so for hours, we just followed in one line, with our clothes heavy and shoes full of sand, we went on, i felt very very hopeless, i wanted to see the road, i wanted to suddenly be bathed by hot water, have my clothing and shoes removed, dried, and being carried to a warm bed, where i'm clothed, and then, slip into dreamland, but slipping into a dream in that dream is a dream, how could it possibly happen? As i walked around, i heard people say phrase of the year, i myself repeated it to yuan hong several times. "I wonder what ray and wei zhou are doing right now in China, are they having high tea? And what are we doing here? "

After centuries of walking in the dense dirty wet forest, we finally got out into our promised land. After that, we got changed and had dinner i think. I looked forward to dinner, finally, we could be served professionally, not with our own cooked food. But when i saw the canteen, my 100% dropped to 60%, the canteen was quite uncanteenish. Then, when we saw the variety of food available, my 60% dropped to 20% It was still ok, the food, but when i tasted the rice, my 20% dropped to -600000% The rice was tasteless and bland, luckily there was some fish to help. And when i realised we had to wash our plates, i almost fainted. Its not that i'm lazy, but being spoiled and pampered, i can't stand dirty stuff, with dozens of pupils queuing up at the side of the dirty canteen, with wet and dirty floors, queuing up to wash plates, ewwww, luckily, there are kind souls that miraculously exist in this tainted world of men, souls i must honor, souls i'm eternally indebted to, souls like cheryl, its impossible that she would want to wash my plate, but she did, i still mantain a strong believe that what she did was impossible, but, what am i talking about. So i forgot what happend, i'll update again...

We had some soul-searching as a group next, haha, but aza asked us several questions that was thought provoking, whether we did what we should have done, stuff like encouraging, helping, warning. Then he went on to ask what we first thought of when we heard about the camp, luckily he didn't pursue this and ask each and everyone, because, the first few thoughts that came into my mind when i heard of it was a hotel to stay in, and fun games to play...

Next was the song session, the whole express stream gathered together to learn yet more songs and cheers, being boys, the boys weren't very interested and i was dozing off, only to be tortured back to life by that xuan thing, she had to pinch and beat me, and smack me and beat me again, to tell me about the stars above the sky, i wasn't interested either, but i wasn't given sleep in return. When the song session finally came to a finito, i was very pleased and thankful, only to realise that what was coming next would made me wish that the song session went on all night.


Firstly, while i was shining teck's torch at the trees, i was immediately stopped by yuan hong and teck, they warned me about people living up in the trees. I failed to understand what they meant, so i at first thought i thought they meant monkeys were living, but they were reluctant to tell me for they thought that i knew what they meant. After much persuasion, they told me that unwanted guests linger there. After they told me that, i received a 1 mill voltage shock, can you imagine shining the torch at night at the trees, and seeing one ghost hanging there? I felt a chill down my spine, i was freaked out, and what came next was the blind man's trail, into the dark mysterious forest. To add fuel to the blazing bonfire, the trainer in charge had to update us on the past casualties of the unfortunate previous groups that went in, and he kept us all quiet. Sitting down, in the middle of a huge village, all quiet, in groups, i was totally scarededed, it seemed like we were all awaiting death, and everytime a group is sent off before ours, i can't help feeling that our death would approach soon. But soon after, i began calming down and realised that it wasn't anything much, i began laughing at that sheryl sia cause she was more afraid and paranoid than me. When it was time for our death, i began to relax more, 80% to be approximate, as long as i wasn't the first or one of the last, the last 20% was my fear of the dark and ghosts. As we went on, i didn't feel quite much, i just didn't look around and i was joking for the rest of the walk. There is one thing i've failed to make clear, that is during the walk, i passed down a message to slow down cause hexun is very sad, i want to make it clear that i was joking, ahhahaha, really. Apart from the sweating and the rocky road, we all wished it would last all night, but it was still scary, along the way, we met waiting trainers ready to guide and help us...NERVES OF STEEL!, i wouldn't do what they dared to do if they gave me a hundred bucks.

Afterwards, we were late and we were debriefed, had good but insufficient supper, then cause of the lack of time, we skipped showering, with i didn't intend to go ahead with anyway. Lights off by1130, i shared my bed with murali, and both of us tried to sleep, but because the bunk was making so much noise, loud laughter by peera and kenneth, the trainers called us out, and i began to feel like we were in boot camp, but we were released soon after.


DAY TWO OF CONCENTRATION TERROR
I woke up early in the morning and realised that we had no sink, i needed to brush my teeth. Jia jun told me that there was a sink outside the girl's bunk, i cannot see people without brushing my teeth, so with pasted toothbrush in our hands, we and jia jun ran out of our bunks to the girl's dorms, but when we saw many girls started to walk out of their bunks, we immediately ran back. And although the toilet was horrible, i brushed my teeth there still.
We gathered again and had not so nice breakfast, it was nice, but their raw tasting beansprout made it taste like raw bean sprout. Soon afterward, i was happy to know that we were doing many many many many wet activities. We first swam across the river, and did many many things. Then we learnt survival skills, and how to start a fire.
Much to our relieve, we had more water activities. But, it was swamp track. When i got into the mud, it stank like excreta, although i wasn't very glad, i was glad i wasn't totally muddy. But when they stopped, and everyone began to get engaged in mud fights, i slowly backed out of the fiery crossfire, but i was unfortunately spotted by my good ''friends'' and wen shan drew first blood when she splated MUD at my clothes. I was so like that that i wanted to scream, she got me dirty, i thank her... I then started to take revenge, but i was still thankful i wasn't totally mudddiedd yet, until that sammie girl threw a blop of MUD at me. By then, i was screaming, and started to dig deep, get mud, and throw a well aimed shot at her head, what a headshot. Then, she had to dig deeper and walk up to me, i could not resist her as she was so big and i was a weakling, she then threw it on my head too. Soon after, it stopped, but i didn't want to throw at her until i could get a full clean wide angled 100% shot at her, i didn't want her to block. So as we were told to go, i picked up a blop of mud in my hands, and along the journey back, that blop of mud stayed in my hand, eager to rocket onto that sammie's head. teck siang followed alongside me and he kept prompting me to throw at her, but i waited for the perfect opportunity.
When we finally reached an area near our campsite, where our instructor wasn't looking, i passed that piece of mud onto teck siang's hand, and he happily skipped over and simply dumped it on that sammie's head with too much simplicity, and all that little big sammie could do was to give him that ''hi! i'm sammie!'' face.. to this hour, it makes me laugh.
Next was more wet activities, thankfully, its the river this time. And we had many obstacles to cross, and of course, without the need to be said, i cleared all of them easily, just like when i was learning abc when i was a kid. .
Next was the campfire. That night was quite a memorable one, it was the first campfire i've had, and although thruout i was dreading the moment whereby aza would call our class for the cheer, i enjoyed the night still, until we had to perform. But it was pretty quick, and it soon ended. I wouldn't forget this night, where i spent my time throwing small pebbles into ricky's hair, being stoned on one's birthday, what a pleasant way to celebrate!


So after the campfire, was supper and debriefing, and we were allowed to stay till 12. After i changed, i walked out and found my lost teck siang flirting with his lover, but i quickly stold him back from that her, she's the third party!! Luckily teck siang hasn't forgotten me yet. Soon enough, it was bedtime, and i decided not to bath, just for one more night and i slept like an iron hog.


LAST DAY OF THE MOST WONDERFUL OVERNIGHT EXPERIENCE OF MY SCHOOL LIFE:

The next morning, it was pretty ordinary, we rose and had breakfast, then we packed, and waited under the excruciating sun, for the bus, when would that bus come?? Me, yuan hong, teck siang and kenneth decided to head to safra after we returned. When the bus finally came, i sat beside my beloved and slept like a fire boar, with my saliva almost flowing out. We finally reached the kelong and i realised this familiar sight, it was the restaurant my family and my friends go to almost every month during my primary school days. I had the best lunch in 600 years, and we had a great time. Finally, when we went back to s'pore, i could see many reluctant faces, and althought it was tough to get through this period of time, no doubt we had fun...

We arrived in safra, and it was here where i played the few of my best rounds of pool ever, no competition, just as friends, i mean, we just went through 3 days, and i felt very close to them, very refreshing and clean, although i haven't bathed. I played great pool with yuan hong, thrashing him, but we were laughing throughout, and i was recalling the bumblebee song, and i decided to record it on teck's handphone the following week. When kenneth challenged me race to 3 racks, that was were my mood sank a little, we were like a real competition. Kenneth really wants to beat me, i can tell, i know he isn't too happy that i'm ranked higher than him, he's been in the business much longer than me, and i don't think he ever thought that i would outrank him, i would think that way if i were him. But thankfully, i beat him 3-2. And for the rest of the night, we were laughing as i watched teck siang play.

This camp has been a great experience, what a way to unite e2 again after a tought half year, with many people doubting the classes' eventually ability to become the best in each and everyone's hearts, but soon after, you can see many people love their classes now. It has been great, but not the best of my live yet, there's still a church camp to come next week, but i've learnt that i'm such a spoiled idiot. I also want to announce that i'm eternally indebted too to that sheryl sia, for she washed my plates more than once, she did what i still believe now as impossible, thank you csheryls.
