1) I'm scared, scared SCARED SCARED SCARED!!! But the pressure now isn't as bad as last year's. Hehe, so I guess it's a good thing. Ah, I'm so freaking nervous. Went to school today to do a few more practice jumps before going to CCAB to try the tramp out. My first routine on the competition tramp was screwed. I was like 1/3 my height, I couldn't jump up at all. That tramp is so hard and unflexible. Then Siang Lin told me some good advice, which I took, and then I was nearly my usual height again. I had to sink in more, and not rush through with jumping. That way, I can use my weight to propel myself upswards. Okay, I'm so worried that tomorrow, I'll be so nervous that I wouldn't be able to do a good routine. That I'll screw up somehow. That I'll start rushing and flying everywhere. I really really hope I won't regret or be disappointed. And I hope that my team members will be proud of me as I will be of them.
2) After the tryouts, we stayed awhile to watch some of the other schools, then went back to hc to eat lunch. The rest then proceeded to training while Amanda, Siang Lin and I went to J8 to buy presents for everyone. HAHA. We were so stingy with money. Well not me actually, it was Amanda. But since we were sharing costs, I had to go along with her ways. So in the end, after walking for an hour, we spent $2.25 on 10 rulers. HAHA. Then we went back home to wrap our presents. haha. It was so freaking funny. What we did, I mean. First, we searched the ground for rocks. Then bleached them to make them white. Then we gathered one dollar coins. And searched Youtube for a method to make them shiny. Found something about salt and vinegar. Which was what we did. Haha, stank the whole place, really and left them in the cup for half an hour. Hehe, then we thought the method really did work, but then it was only our minds fooling us. haha. So what we did for presents? HAHA. Mostly Man's idea, although I came up with the Ang Bao part. So, we wrote them letters, then inserted one letter each into an Ang Bao. Then, plonked a piece of rock inside bearing the words "You Rock." Then a personalized ruler with scribbles of their names and "You Rule" and "HCI TRAMP" as well as some deco tape pasted onto one end. The last bit was exceptionally brainy. HAHA. We put a one dollar coin inside, for whatever use the recipient would want to put it to. Anyway, the letters said something like You rock, you rule, and you shine! HAHAHAHAHA. SUPER FUNNY. HAD SO MUCH FUN MAKING THEM. AND MAN WAS MAKING US ALL LAUGH SO MUCH. By the time we were done, it was like six thirty. And they had to rush off - leaving me a messy room to clean up. haha. I didn't mind, really.
3) I slept on the FLOOR last night!!! Haha, it was soooo fun!!! And the funny thing is, I'm not having a backache at all today. I'm perfectly fine! haha. Okay, you'll be asking why I slept on the floor right? haha. Cuz my mom's friend came back from Hong Kong. She slept on my bed. Then my cousin had to stay for the night. So the mattress went to him. AND THEN our sleeping bag was already lent to another cousin, who has not returned it for months. I wanted to sleep on my parent's bed, but had already done so before and did not wish to share the overcrowded conditions again. haha, and my dad's snore is reallly really loud. Kept me awake half the night... So what I did was laid a coverlet on the floor. Folded it into two. And that was my bed. Haha, then used the excess as a blanket. Then I had my pillow and bolster which was enough for me. haha, a little discomfort experienced at first. But everything was fine. What an experience! haha, and I'm gonna do it again tonight. Man, I've got competition tomorrow too...
4) Okay, got a ton of things to do before heading off to bed. Stitch the tag onto my leotard. I got number four. In chinese, that's bad. In english, that's an even number. And I like even numbers. haha. Then iron my uniform. Then study lipids. Then construct my makeshift bed. haha. Okay.
5) Wow, nearly forgot my nervousness. Ahhhhh I'm soooooo scared!!! haha. okok, hope I do well tomorrow!!! In fact, even if it's not good, but I don't screw up, I'm gonna be so relieved and happy. haha. Okay, everyone, I'm getting my big fat butt off the chair. So ciao people!!!
