okay for those who didn't know. read the previous post.

so i finally got the balls to email the coach and SHE REPLIED! omg omg omg omg omg. i was totally freaking out when i saw her name in the email. it didn't help that i was in the library where even my breathing seemed to disrupt the peacefulness. whatever.

my first hockey match! :)

as you guys can see. i'm donning red and white again :) it's like i'm fated to wear such colours. they complement my skin colour :) and and well it's look aggressive. hahaha that's the excuse i use all the time. but not the point. so today was the first match the team is quite slack. dont really do any real warm-up. it's all up to you. but they play way differently from what i'm used to. i mean. i don't know. sometimes i find myself lost on the field and wondering what's their next move. but i think the SRC team is still the best. haaha :) they did win premier afterall :D

anyway! they were really impressed with me and we won 2-1. okay i didn't score but i played alot of other positions. started off right wing, then switched me attacking centre half then left wing and finally left half. omgg i was dead tired. but the weather was damn good, so once in a while i would give a burst. i need to go running and do something about my fitness. yikes.

SO SO SO :D the team has quite a few us team players. well i met 3 already. quite cool right? and they were asking me why i didn't bother with applying to play varsity hockey and i told them i didn't think i was good enough. and they told me that i should consider transferring and one of the girls know the coach of my DREAM FREAKING SCHOOL. and i think i might do that. I REALLY WANNA PLAY VARSITY. omg what the hell la. damn damn good experience. i'm not missing out on this. WOOOT :D so i'm gonna go contact the school one of these days :)

wish me luck!

phew. the past week has been rather. busy. maybe because there's this sudden surge of work. after the long summer break, it's taking some time for me to get back into the rhythm of things. so let's track back.

thursday night i had training and i cooked udon for the first time. DAMN THAT STOVE. took forever to heat up. to get the water boiling. to get the udon nice and fat. BUT when it finally did get cooked it tasted SOOO good! maybe because i was damn hungry by then, or could be that my cooking is incredible. HAH i doubt. i believe it was the fact that i was so damn hungry added to the fact that i felt such great contentment from cooking my first udon meal. i dont know. when you cook for yourself, there's all the hard labour involved (okay maybe for me only since i cant cook for shit) all that blood and sweat. just makes it taste better. hah. so thursday night was wasted away. eating and gossiping with the housemates. and rotting infront of the telly. omg what a change from being in florence. all reasons to procrastinate right here.

friday morning was wasted away because i slept. then i had to rush down to school to attend the club meeting for ultimate frisbee. yes people, i'm joining the ultimate frisbee club. i can't possibly join the varsity teams when i have absolutely NO experience whatsoever in any of the sports. probably get my ass kicked so hard i can fly to the moon and back. but damn. i wished i could play some soccer. would keep me as fit as hockey would. but nevermind. so it turns out, we train pretty often, which is just the way i like it. and we travel to games YAY :D hahaha the last time they travelled all the way to florida and i think san fran? to play the away games. great way to tour the US! hahahaha. okay so the fact that they travelled quite a bit to play games was another incentive to join :D

after i met up with fz and jc to watch HAIRSPRAY! hahahahaha i loveddd it. i felt like singing and dancing along. hahahaha. i liked the original version that was done years ago so i was sure i was in for a ball of a time. the theatre was full of energy. or maybe it was just me.

omgg. my favourite of favourite is JOHN TRAVOLTA! hahahahahaha holy crap he is sooo damn cute and sooo damn funnyy. i tell you, the guy must have been paid a shitload of money. he had to dance in heels and he did it pretty well. i was impressed. i can barely walk in heels, let alone DANCE in them. omgg. how does he do it. and queen latifah really fills up the screen (not literally) but like. okay whatever. they were my 2 favourite characters. and amanda bynes irritated the shit outta me. ECKK. but nevermind, it was a feel-good movie with great meaning.

jc came home with us and fz cooked us steak for dinner. sooo good. i could get used to being cooked moroccan food! okay but i should seriously start learning to cook real things so i can cook for them too. :) thursday night dinners!

the other girls in the suite were off. georgia went to her place in brooklyn to pick up her pet snake, ziggy. sooo cute! it's soo small and tiny and nice to touch. and it's reddish orange. i believe it's a tree snake. can't remember. julie went up to connecticut to get her card and groceries and work. lani worked at fashion week for the weekend and was staying with her sister. she saw tons of famous people. she was raving on and on about it, but i think she was more happy about the money she earned ($10 an hour) and the free clothing she got. AHH i love her white high tops! so damn niceeee. shits. lo was over at her place at E72nd to be with her family. hannah went off to meet her boyfriend. leaving 3 sad souls at home. hah. but oh well.

saturday meya came over. she's fz's close friends. and she's gorgeous. omgg i think i wanna have a crush on her. we had a korean dinner at ktown. SOO GOOD. CHAN IF YOU ARE READING THIS, COME OVER AND I WILL BRING YOU THERE!

sunday (or rather what was left of it) was spent at church, watching a marathon of america's next top model and rushing hw :( that sucked.

and now that school has really begun, i have shit loads to do :(

OH OH we are trying to start a FIELD HOCKEY CLUB! hahahahaha. okay that's it. bye :D

i just got back from training. WHOOPEE DOOO. hahaha. but shit la. seriously the stupid rat by the road can run faster and farther than me. throw face. i wanna die. i need to go run by the hudson soon. but i always come up with excuses for not running. shit. i'm freaking lazy.

so anyway, today marks the end of the week for me! long weekend YES :) classes have been good so far. got some books that i've gotta re-read for my east asian cultures and crime & punishment course. oh well. and i have a load of shit work to do next week :( weekend is gonna be burnt since i procrastinated the whole freaking week. i think it's just the beginning. inertia. eck.

a day up north NYC.

first wineyard of the day. applewood vineyard. it was atop a small hill, and what made it a great visit was the fact that the weather was fine. oh and they had a small orchard of apples to apple cider, i think.

mmm. sweet sweet apples. which my dad stole.

my male model. hahahahaha.

2nd winery we visited. america's oldest winery. the wines weren't that great, and we winded up buying nothing. oh wait, my bro bought 2 bottles of chardonay. tsk. for all his house parties i bet.

the huge ass wart on my brother's ear.

the last winery we visited. benmarl. my sister took over the wheels, and NO ONE slept while she drove. not that she's not a safe driver. but it's kinda scary when the driver looks like she can't see much because the dashboard's too high.

eck my fat face. obviously stuffing myself with too much food.

weeds orchard! we picked out own fruits. tons of nectarines, corn, apples, peaches and plums. we hauled home a good 5kg of fruits and we only paid a $30 :) okay that's a big deal here okay.

big fat tomato.

us and our picks!

the day ended with dinner at st marks' place. my parents took my suitemates out and man was the food good. i'm going back!

celebrating my dad's birthday in NYC!

we went out for a nice japanese teppenyaki dinner at hillburn, ny. the portion of food was HUGE. could feed godzilla and still have leftovers. but it was sooo goood. but i have feeling, it could be that we ordered way too much food. look at how my mom and sis are so greedily looking at the menu. we almost got the birthday lion to sing a birthday song for my dad but he refused it because he was afraid of being embarrassed. lousyy. anyway the restaurant was really nice. it was on a hill (the owner OWNS the hill, talk about loaded) and it was very very quaint. the chefs were such entertainers. they would sing and do all kinds of tricks. it was quite a night :)

so my parents have reached singapore safely and just mass emailed everyone. my sister's in berkeley for an interview with a professor. she hopes to do her phD with that professor, hopefully things work out. my brother is in wharton now, which means I CAN GO OVER AND BUG HIM :) heh. feels good to have family around. alright. pictures pictures!
