I had a stupid day

You know these essay competitions that ask you to write short pieces about 'The worst day of my life'? I think today certainly fits into that category.

For starters, it didn't involve Tay, coz if it was i'd have started this post on how hard it is to break arms in a self defense situation, even if using Juji Gatame. It also doesn't involve embarassment, coz if it was i'll be in the toilet trying to drown myself.

It was dead boring, and i had a running nose that was stemmed after i forced a fat effervercent vitamin C pill down my throat. First there was this daft environmental seminar thingy, with speakers from all over the world. But although the Ian guy, some Brit with a whacked sense of humour, was good, the others were presenting history and theories (the Polluter Pays principle, anyone?) which was more well suited if i was in debate mode, which i wasn't. I just couldn't bring myself to think out of the box like in those blasted brainstorming sessions right before a competition. And you know what was worst? Knowing that if i had skipped this, i could've either done Kids Games and polished up, or i could've been in Judo doing Shiai practise.

So, as promised, here's the one up on the training. I'm really sorry i coudn't get online last night to type out a day by day, blow by blow account - hey, don't look at me - it was a problem with my streamyx ppp layer. I could explain what that is, but it'll take too long and it'll make me seem like a geek (which probably is true if i know what it actually means).

Anyway, i'll be going out to Parkson later on just to hunt for christmas presents (lol) so i'll make it snappy.

The training was really tiring. Met a lot of Extension Church people, most of them leaders in the teams (whew - safe!). Mine is Sean and Maryann Chang, brothers and sisters, both good but not as experienced as the old team in my church. But that team is long gone, and although i had a lot of fun organising some of our exploits (and i miss them), its broken up by life and time ... i guess i'd rather not talk about that, yeah?

So, cool. Aunty Jennifer was seriously picky about the skits and all - she seemed stretched by all the darn work involve. Bless her - i can only guess at the stress being put on her. And i'm very happy with the team i was put in - they're all great people with different strengths being put into play. There's Crystal, Romena, Joanna, Amanda (yeah - that Amanda from the old team), Maryann and Sean. And there's me, i guess.

We just went through most of the skits, and prepared for the games. There's still going to be a lot of sweat and tears and i ...

... i'll keep you posted. ;D
