anyways, it was damn awesome, dress hunting for andrea was super duper successful. the dress we chose is super awesome and damn there were so many awesome dresses to buy. but i dunno. we ended up with just one damn awesome jacket! but oooooh, i shopped for like freaking 5 hrs. till my back ached!

okay first off, dinner at uncle ian's was super duper good. i haven't eaten that much food in so long but damn was it good. especially the desserts. okay fine, i'm biased. i'm a sucker for the sweet stuff. but still! that mango ice-cream was the best i've tasted so far and that choc cake, had just the right balance of saltiness and sweetness. it was utterly delectable.
as for time trials, as expected, i got owned big time by weiling. and andrea who finished 2 buoys ahead of me. i clocked a timing 1 sec short of the expected time. i think i owe that to my failed start. i tickled the water on my first stroke. totally foiled my devious false start plans. NCCs are next week. K4 200m, hopefully we can paddle together before the race so that we can own everybody! hahahahahah oh yeah oh yeah! i'm just getting a little delirious here. must be the result of the two chocolate cakes and almost a quarter of that tub of mango ice-cream.
okay, i'm actually way behind schedule in terms of sleep, so if you do not mind. ttfn, tata for now!
win some, lose some.

i have done it ONCE and AGAIN. i've lost my wallet. this time my damage is far higher than previous time it goes into the hundreds. damn freaking winner. i'm quite upset cos i thought i was over this. i seriously thought so. now i'm living on good graces cos i can't withdraw any money what so ever. cards should be coming in maybe only like on wednesday. sucks.
then again, this awesome song is stuck in my head to...
smile, though your heart is aching
smile, though your heart is breaking
though there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
if you smile through your fears and sorrows
smile, and maybe tomorrow, you'll see the sun coming shining through if you...
light up your face with gladness
hide every trace of sadness
although a tear maybe ever so near
that's the time you must keep on trying
smile, what's the use of crying
you'll find that life is still worthwhile
if you just smile

it's been pretty insane. i've started double training for about a week or two already. i enjoy it except that it's really really tiring.
i've also been catching up on my movies. with all the cool shows coming out, i'm at the movies at least once a week! terminator salvation was awesome. the effects and sound was amazingly mastered. i love christian bale but i think sam worthington did great. his character was very well played. it had pockets of humor which i really enjoyed. i'm totally watching it again. hahahs.
the next few weekends ares are totally packed.
7th june - madeline's wedding
14th june - time trials & dinner @ uncle ian's place
20th june - NCCs & popo's birthday dinner
21st june - NCCs
27th & 28th june - SDBF (though we're not paddling, we're obviously going to go there just to cheer the guys on)
time flies and its already june. its just a short 3 months to world champs and my holiday. it's a little unsettled at the moment but it's gonna work out. i'm starting to feel my kayak even better, and i'm finally able to at least keep a decent stroke rate for a decent time. so i'm getting a little psyched. i'm not that fast yet. but i guess, i've come far enough. i've been paddling for about 11 months now, almost coming to a 1 year mark and i'm still loving it. of cos i have bad days when i can't feel it, but its pretty cool on those days when you really the feel :)
anyway, i had this morbid weird dream last night. and i'm still trying to decipher it. it's kinda freaking me out how real it felt and the thing is i can remember it. its like crystal clear in my head.
