This is a long post.

I went out many times this week, mostly for training, but of course I receive my fair share of fun! Sad, not enough pictures.

Tuesday
First, there was of course training. I did 10mins x 3 抱枪 and did some shooting which I wasn't to move my left hand... It was quite okay, but I realised that I shoot worse for white card. :/

Went for my Chingay interview, and I got lost halfway because I didn't know where the Heartware office was :S Decided to call Kristy but she didn't answer, so I called Minlu instead. Yeah we talked for quite a long while before my interview... then the final showdown came. The interview felt damn crap; I was being my normal self and stuff, I guess I talked too much, I don't know. Most of my answers were really gut feel, and I got posed some situational questions, which I answered in a very matter-of-fact tone, but I wasn't confident. Oh well, that's that.

Met up with Minlu later on too. We had coffee bean (: and talked about life, lots of stuff. Managed to catch up a bit on her life and a bit of mine, and talked to her about my crappy interview -_- And, her father got a Nintendo DS for FREE! Omg, first the IPOD TOUCH, now the Nintendo DS. Minlu is such a lucky kid.

Thursday
There was training as usual, and we had a mental talk on competition preparation. From the day before, to the main shots fired, every detail was covered. Dear DX even bothered to analyse the sleeping position :/ There was 5shots grouping x 8 later on, which I took a million years to complete

...and ended up meeting Ona late. We were supposed to catch the 1.45 show for Enchanted. Unfortunately for us, there was a long queue when we got there for GOLDEN COMPASS of course! Realised that 6th December is the opening day for that show. Ona didn't and couldn't watch it, since there is time for the show in the future, and she was Christian. Golden Compass is an atheist movie. Anyway, we went to Sakae to eat, and to Giant to be cheapo (and buy 94c chips :D), watched the movie which was great funny heartwarming and lol childish in some ways, and took some pics.

Friday
Okay, there was mock com on that day. I shot... 370. But what's saddening is that I didn't feel for it to be 370. It felt like a 360+, since I wasn't as serious as the NJ v CJ friendly. I couldn't find the right alignment most of the time, and was relying heavily on getting a relationship by aiming correctly. It was really uncomfortable, and I took too long too ):

anyway, Desiree and I went to meet Kristy and Huiwei at Teo Heng karaoke later. The cheap place that I went the last time! It took some time for me to find my way there (wth). We were late, but thankfully, Kristy and Huiwei managed to get their rooms in time. We took this long bus ride to Paya Lebar MRT, transferred to another bus, and showered in the rain... -_- Going out with me is always such an adventure.

Sang a looooooooooooooot, and it was satisfying! I especially loved the last song when I sang 爱失控 with Huiwei. IT FELT SO GRAND SINGING IT. Sang many other songs too, and it was great fun (:

Went to Bugis to eat later. I ate soup spoon with Kristy, and the food was delicious as usual. Ohyeah! 星光四少 were there too! So i took some pictures of lin you jia to spite xiuxian and xiulun a little... >:) Neoprints as well!~

Saturday
this day DID NOT START OUT WELL, since I realised that... I woke up late, at 7.45am. Not so bad? I was supposed to be at Yishun MRT meeting Kristy at 7.30am. Now, that's bad.

So with impressive god-like speed, Xiu Rong brushed her teeth, changed her clothes, sprinted down the house and boarded a taxi and got to Yishun Secondary in a mere 20 minutes! And what luck, she bumped into her dear friends Amalina and Charlyn at the entrance of the school, with them welcoming her with a laughter of jest. -_-

LOL, anyway, today was supposed to be the first volunteers training session for Chingay! And I have not been a good leader indeed >_> For turning up late for the first training session. Anyway, we got dispatched to our groups, and I got US23! :D YEAH MAN WE RAWK BIG TIME. Cheryl, Caleen, Kee Sok, Ayu and Lifang (: Initially, we were pretty quiet,total strangers except for Cheryl and Caleen. So they were there to bring up the atmosphere! Anyway, the station games and all were great fun. We played wacko first, and it was a great icebreaker (: Later on, there were other games like Martial Arts showdown and dog and bone, and lastly Wargames! Yeah wargames were what we played during my IP1 orientation -_- I decided to be a mummy woohoo.

yeah, that was about it. Went out with Kristy for lunch later on, took a looooong bus ride from Yishun to Orchard lol. Then went to Topshop to look at some clothes and perhaps spend Kristy's $40 voucher unfortunately to no avail. Walked around later on... Sony, Nokia, Food Republic, World of Sports yadayada. Quite fun! but it was also tiring -_-

yes, and now I'm back home. This is a long post? Yes i think so too.
