badminton.

whee. badminton today was fun fun and more fun! super fun. i cant stop myself. fun fun fun! plus its the first time in ages since i exercised. since the last gym session with kailyn which was ages ago. when i cant exactly remember. wahaha. making this a once-a-week thing on sunday noons and then we have lunch, and after that BRIDGE session. alright fine, lets make it a card session since fishball's forte is daidi and not bridge. wahaha. lets play asshole daidi too! =)


was thinking of walking to the sports stadium today when mummy convinced me to take the bus for two stops cos i am using the student concession so why not maximise it fully? alrighto. reached there right on time seeing wenyu and fishball walking in too. gab was slightly late due to his old hoarse priest who ended his church session late [at around 11 i think] and his church was in tampines. whoops. we were playing badminton at jurong east, which was near chinese garden mrt. heh. just realised the guys are doing all the travelling considering they live up north and we girls live just a mere 4 busstops apart. whee.


so we started playing first at the courts, with me and fishball vs wenyu initially. think ultimately fishball has the best badminton skills. mine was a little rusty and i have a tendency to not pay attention occasionally, hence i dint see the shuttlecock quite a number of times. after gab came along, we paired up against the couple [i.e. fishball and wenyu la. duh], and honestly the whole 1 hour was damn fun and funny. first we had the guys going into funny positions trying to save the shuttlecock and gab even did a matrix-back-bending act [was i the only one who noticed it considering we were on the same side of the court?]. wahaha. and wenyu tumbled over a couple of times just to save the shuttlecock. guys is this what BMT train you to do? as in, tumble over all the time? grin. me and fishball were usually plain lazy to move too far from our positions hence i couldnt [or rather, dint quite try] to save the ones that were on my side and near the net. in fact gab started this light-hit shuttlecock action that wenyu followed soon after, we had the guys right in front of the net hitting as light as possible trying to make the shuttlecock scrape past the net and avoid the racket of the opponent. lost? i hope not. teehee. yeah. and we played non stop for one hour. by the end of the session [or rather, nearing the end..] my shots were going all haywire. not quite paying attention. especially when people around us were playing like pros and we were just a bunch of amatuers playing for the heck of it. oh wells. the foursome beside us even "posed" before the shuttlecock was served. walau. pro la. but twas fun, playing badminton and having fun at the same time.


had lunch at kfc after that. used the coupon and the guys ate most of the food. it was funny to see fishball stopping wenyu from ordering another set of cheesefries that came one-for-one free. wahaha. damn funny. yeaps. and we talked during lunch. considering we were all from hwachong, conversation flowed easily. with the guys talking about army [and keeping the girls entertained at the same time] occasionally, and us gossipping about the relationships in hwachong, like who broke up blah blah blah, how a certain somebody dint deserve the presidents scholar [you know who i am talking about, and if sherwayne is reading this, too bad.] blah blah blah. pretty much interesting conversation topics. then went back to fishball's place to play cards. goodness. it was damn fun. dint know wenyu was a bridge fanatic too. and fishball was always the blur one. hee. damn funny. trying to trick fishball into thinking otherwise [fishball, did you realise i was always giving you weird looks, trying to bluff you? hee. oops.] yea and analysing our moves after that, with fishball still the blur one. wenyu left at about 4, while we continued playing asshole daidi. i was throned the president initially, and i sunk into being the asshole for the last two games. it was an afternoon of fun. really enjoyed myself. and i shall try to psycho gab into coming to smu two years later. so that i can "take care" him. like how i promised yanlian i would "look out" for lixiang. gab, do i sound ominous? grin.


glad for todays session. somehow i find myself getting to know gab better this year. for some weird reason or another. in the past two years in hwachong, somehow i couldnt talk to him easily, like how i can this year. i dont know. he seems alot easier to talk to now. really. really really glad that im getting to know him alot better. that two years together in exco dint go to waste, seeing that we're still keeping in touch.
read fishball's blog just now and saw her latest entry. really really touched that she sees me as one of her closest friends. really really very touched. girl, i want you to know that you're one of my closest friend too. somehow you're always there for me [be it proximity and emotionally and physically :) ] and i really really treasure that. truly. thanks *hugs* our friendship is going into the fifth year le. soon reaching six. and i hope it would continue forever. till our hair grow white [but the probabilty of me dying them black would be more likely. hee.]
remember when we were all in primary school, we would classify our friends into categories, like "special friends", "best friends", "close friends", "good friends", "just friends", "friends", "acquaintances" and "enemies".. somehow the guys would always end up in the "enemies" category, the guy whom you have a crush on would come under the "best/close/special/good friends" category.. and yeah, girl friends would be ranked accordingly. now i dont see the difference between best, close, special, good, just blah blah blah. if i were to rank now, there would be only three categories. "close", "friends", "acquaintances". close friends would be the ones whom i would confide my problems in, the first people to share in my happiness and sadness, be bugged by all my sms and phone calls, friends would be people whom i talk to pretty often, but they wont know first-hand information about me, cos i wont think of telling them immediately. and acquaintances are pure acquaintances. pretty much self explanatory. yeah. people under friends are far and many, under acquaintances even more. but i can list the close friends one. very easily.
people like: kailyn, junhui, xinxin, ruoling, fishball, joycet, wanyu, joycez, huiru, mok and tim. some of them i talk to more easily over the phone, some in person. some i prefer to talk to over sms or icq, people like wenhui. realised i rarely talk to him in person. hmm. he's a nice buddy to sms or icq with. more sms, since i dont catch him online nowadays. he's busy with somebody la. hopefully i can still maintain best buds status with him. cos he's someone whom i can talk to easily. i know. its nice to see gab and fishball remaining close friends. i would like that to happen to me too. hopefully he can be a close friend too. i hope. these people are always there when i need them to be there. and i appreciate all the efforts. to take in my tempers, my emotions, my tears, my happiness, my joy. i love you guys. thank you. *hugs*
one of the rare times i show my appreciation. *muacks*
