ouch!

my arm hurts now. all because a i positioned myself wrongly and the runner ran into me. sighh. so many things have happened today, not in terms of physical activities but rather mental content. i know i may sound strange but its true. got to wake up late today and left for SRC at padang at 1245. when i boarded the train at Bishan, there was this middle-aged who was standing at the door. as in almost right in front. and when everyone was trying to get on the relatively crowded train, she refused to move. there were acres of space behind her, but still ... that spoke volumes of her, as well as the attitude of Singaporeans. well, i reached padang at around 130 and did the usual warm-ups. first match was at 300. and sadly to say it once again, i have lost respect for yet another figure in my school's softball picture. maybe the methods were wrong. i don't really know. anyway, two matches later and after a lot of lag time, i was in my dad's car on the way home. i passed by SMU! oh man, the 13slc memories just came flowing back. it literally seemed like just yesterday when we were together in orchard as ECNE. then again, it seems like we have been apart for so long. sigh. i reached home and my tv just spoilt. i have totally no idea what happened cuz there is sound but no picture. anw, there's so much to blog about today. i'll do the two matches and our ecne outing. if i have time, i'll start on sort testimonials of ecne pple (: yay!

SRC Match 1 (vs Pei Cai): I played right-field. personally, i think i did okay in terms of fielding. but nothing much better. maybe i can't really judge cuz so few hits came toward me. but as a team, we really made too many mistakes in fielding. from dumb overthrows to fielding errors, etc. we had better start working harder! on my personal batting side, i did horible. i got one at-bat and i didn't even get on base. sigh. as a team, we did rather badly too. honestly. maybe it was nerves or something. but we did badly. we lost. can't remember the score. but we gotta improve tomorrow. during this game, two people who i am meant to respect said two different things which made me think alot. i mean alot. i just find it hard to respect things being put in that manner, especially when they are so elitist and vulgar comments. i thought alot today.

SRC Match 2 (vs Temasek): I was placed at second base! At first, i kept thinking through the plays cuz the last time i played at second was long time ago in one match. on my fielding side, i think i was abit lost but managed to do okay for most of the plays. the only thing was during the second or third inning, i was covering first base and this runner was running from first to second. me, not being very aware, ran straight into him. or rather he ran straight into me. either way, my arm hurt after that. good thing nobody was seriously hurt. really. overall, fielding for this game was quite tight, amidst the ocassional slip-ups. on my batting side, i managed one run. only. sigh. i got safe on bunt during my first at-bat. then popped my second one so so high. disappointing. we won. 9-2 i think. but still, we better improve again. tomorow's matches against ACS an MSS will prove another challenge.

Ecne Outing: i had hoped more people would be able to make it. but still, it was rather fun in the end. met nick, rachel and natalie at dhoby ghaut (that's how you spell it nick) at 1230 to go for lunch first. nat got lost in the mrt station. she found us, finally. thankfully. but we saw super alot of RGS girls in the mrt station in such a short amount of time. scary. didn't know where to eat lunch. but when we walked by some video shop, rachel got so attracted by this ultraman video! nat commented that it was strange cuz me and nick just walked by it. okayy. we decided to eat at the food court where nick took his picture of four packets of tissue "sitting" at a table. that's for STOMP remember! had a nice discussion over lunch about how we didn't know each other (especially nat) well enough and stuff like that. haha, think that was a good time cuz we haven't really talked like that with natalie even during SLC (: oh, and nick doesn't read. sorry, that was just random. continued our discussion until we reached the cinema booking machine thingy. we were trying to persuade natalie to skip her maths tution and stay on with us to watch potc3. in vain. we counldn't convince her. lol.

natalie left and we were left with no idea how many tickets to buy cuz adeline didn't confirm if she would be joining us in time for the movie. so we abandoned the booth and went to walk around plaza. nick bought this mp3 holder strap thing which soon was to become his new "girlfriend". i pity jerman. nick also broke the high-score record for guitar hero II at Best. after more walking around, we went back up to the booths. by this time, adeline still had not replied so we decided to just buy three tickets first. ahh! but the seats were one row from the screen! ahh! we decided to rush to the cathay for the 240 show.

we rushed, or maybe not really, to Cathay. along the way, we were talking about this issue about the sun and its effects on our skin. haha. yes, yes, miss dermatologist :P haha. oh, and along the way, nick mentioned this "thing" about this security guard and his actions. i don't wanna mention it here but yes, it was strange. strange. for lack of a better word. hmm. in the cinema area, we kept seeing these "surf up" boards with all those funny shaped and looking penguins on them. rachel kept comparing some penguin to "a certain someone*. won't want to mention any names to prevent anyone from getting into any sort of trouble! but it was quite funny to see. adeline couldn't make it in time so there were only me, rachel and nick. not really what i expected but well... anw, thanks for the nachos nick (: haha, the movie was quite good although i didn't understand the "happy" ending. until rachel sent me the link ltr that is. i'm so happy for orlando bloom and keira knightly! lol.

but when the movie was over and we were meant to meet up with dingjie and adeline. adeline was stuck in some traffic jam and ding was deciding against "flirting" with some rgs and nanyangs girls. haha. we walked back to plaza. without much sun this time. and nick played guitar hero II again, breaking his previous high score. then, he had to go so we walked him to the bus stop. and so there were two of us left. quite pathetic for an outing meant for a group of 10 honestly. haha. didn't know where to go so went to times to wait for ding while rachel went to find her photoshop magazine and something to read. when ding was about to arrive, me and rachel had this funny convo trying to argue who saw ding first. then when ding finally arrived, he was wearing this bright orange top. rachel commented that he blended in very well with the times sign. it was true, he did blend in quite well. haha.

coincidentally enough, as we were going to the basement to decide what to eat while waiting for adeline, i saw waiyin and gloria! so qiao! they were watching some movie which i forgot. had dinner while waiting for adeline and when she finally came, i had to rush back home already! so the four of us go home. ding, rachel and adeline all took the same train while i took the other one. i felt lonely but ding wouldn't want to take the same train as me. in the end, i missed 2 trains cuz the were too crowded! ahh! and i got suaned! sighh. so thats about it for our mini-outing! but my handphone bill is gonna be high cuz rachel kept telling me to call ding, adeline and natalie everytime i took out my phone! haha. but the day was fun (: fun (: fun (:

i think i won't post anything else tonight cuz i feel like sleeping now. sighh. check back another day!
