twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

SIGH. I'm really upset. I don't know how I did it but I somehow formatted my memory card for the cam, and all the photos we took today were lost. I SWEAR I pressed 'cancel' but the buttons screwed up and it became 'ok' instead. Shitness. Felt so terrible after that when I told the girls what I had done.. sigh.

Other than that, today was fantastic. It;s been two months since we got together as a FULL senior girls team and it was.. beautiful. Rach and I were held up in school and Mich messaged us, saying that those 10 lovely girls were asking for the both of us. So sweet. :) Well we got to PS in the end, and ordered our fish at Manhattan. But I was just gulping down my food without tasting it cos I was too overwhelmed by being in the presence of everyone. I was listening to conversations, laughing at jokes, that if you asked me what I ate, I can only say it's some grilled dory thing and the garlic rice. We sang the birthday song THREE times for Peishan, Mindy and Jas in that order, and it got increasingly louder and louder. Then Cindy gave out the testimonial thingy from Mr Yong and I found out I got promoted to QM. Reading what he wrote about me, I was kinda shocked cos I didn't know that Mr Yong actually paid so much attention to what I did throughout the two years in the team..

Everything just felt - in the words of Rachel and I - RIGHT :)

Then we walked past the Istana, and Mindy tried to make us do a cheer for our President (Gimme an N! Gimme an A! NATHAN OEEEEEIIIII!) so that "eh, we'll be in the papers!!". I dared Peishan to walk over to the guard and shout, I WANT TO SEE THE PRESIDENT! Gosh it was so bloody freaking fun. Trooped over to the Esplanade after that, and we were on the roof for a while, taking timed shots with our cameras with Peishan running to and fro trying to beat the 10-second blinking light. Xintian climbing up and down and Huiying nagging at her to NOT climb. Our whining about how we're so fat and unfit..

I wouldn't trade these 11 girls for all the money in the world. Really.
