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.

Despite losing weight after Brunei, it's certain that at the rate we're going, we're gonna gain it all back. This is our fourth buffet in the week lol. First there was the endofcourse appreciation dinner, then during our R&R phase we had a Thai buffet for lunch plus an Indian one for dinner. THEN today we met up for Kuishinbo at Suntec. Heh well the NDU people ended up going there too which really shocked me cos I wasn't expecting them to change their minds esp since zurong told me they weren't going anymore. Eclairs there are damn goooood. I had like, ten. Gah. I guess throughout my time in Airwing, the aircrew have really played an integral role, esp the officers on course. Despite the fact that I'm more often than not their main source of entertainment (bullying, teasing etc) I do appreciate their presence, not just as mentors but as friends too. Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this. They better appreciate MY presence too cos without me, who's gonna spice up their training with hilarious anecdotes at my expense? Was telling them about my SAW night firing.

LTA Allen: VANESSA!!!! Do you know where your shots are landing??!??!
Me: Honestly sir, NO. The helmet is damn big and the night vision device is at my NOSE instead of my eyes!
Lta Allen: Your shots are landing on the lane 1 metal plate! Vanessa, what lane are you??
Me: ER, LANE TWO SIR!

Omg. Well it wasn't my fault that they affixed the NVDs on helmets of a standard size M (I wear S) Hehehe. Good times.

THEN watched Benchwarmers and it really deserved it's twostar rating. Let's just say that the pair of Zurong & Yunhui are damn funny. Watching them talk to each other is like some standup comedy. Oh and Zurong actually threw his ticket into the bin - or according to him "it was stuck to my greentea bottle!" He actually removed the lid of the bin and started poking around inside to my absolute mirth. I should've got a photo. Classic! Plus, Yunhui spent really long thinking about how to get home. Can't believe that he's actually woonhowe's senior. It's true that the world is shrinking - and fast.

Gonna go dragonboat with the alumni tomorrow at 2. Time to work off those calories and maintain my fitness again! I know it's a long shot - but I hope he really gets to book out tonight!!
