i just realised how unfit i am... yes yes, unhealthy and unfit esther. we did swim PE today and me being the thick skinned person i am, self proclaimed myself to be capable of swimming and so joined debbie and pam and ethel in the ADVANCE swimming group only to prove that i really suck. yours truely was gasping for air half the time due to the tired and feeble limbs of mine. i don't dare jump off the side of the swimming pool for fear i would just hit the bottom and die of a cracked head, and most importantly, i cannot tread water for more than 15 minutes... which is plain pathetic considering i used to be a good swimmer as a kid.
so anyway, i had to employ the help of the floaty looking thing when playing water polo... and the best thing is, my feeble arms can hardly even throw, aim, shoot, pass, whatever action which requires more arm strength than maybe carrying a handbag. and thus, was a really bad player in the team... i'm so sorry pam... hahahahahaha... AND... the worst part is, i think i almost drowned ethel while attempting to carry out some form of life saving chin-tow on her... how ironic. hahahaha. it wasn't totally my fault also... her hair is rather long and she left it in its flowy pony tail state so it kept tickling my legs while i was trying to save her, making me laugh like mad even while trying to get her back on shore. thus, i kept abandoning life saving at lane 2 rather than at lane 1 and both of us had to swim back to the side again... i think my swim pe teacher probably thinks i'm not good enough to be in his class but is just being very nice. hahahahahaa...
had sectionals after that... it was good. =)
i'm just quite sad that i can't do O2... all i can do is sit in class and enviously watch as the OGLs and OGAs (yeap... the lil J1s have become orientation group assistants... so proud of them. =) ) bring the new kids around. heard from gerrard that we have 7 new kids!!! how nice. i must go pay them a visit tomorrow after dental appointment or something. haha. i miss being an OGL... i miss my OG... i miss being with the other OGLs... i miss the mass dance(s)... i miss the dirty games... i miss the water bombs and starch buckets... i miss the stupid forfeits... i miss........ .........
oh well, my week started off quite nicely. met up with honyi on sunday. we were supposed to go and check out the UK education at Commrade Hotel. unfortunately, it bore the both of us to tears and so we went to the Career Fair at Expo thinking it would be much better. to our dismay, it turned out equally, if not, more disappointing. yeap. the most important part was, all the universities that we considered going to were not represented at Commrade Hotel or the Career Fair, namely: Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, Stamford, Imperial College, King's College, etc etc... even NUS Arts and Law Faculty wasn't there. there was only NUS Business School.
Rah.
oh well... whatever it is, study study study.
it just dawned on me that our first paper is on friday. yes, THIS FRIDAY. that friday which a few weeks ago thought it would be a long time before it would come IS HERE. sigh... so stressed. everyone is falling sick. this is quite terrible.
