The past past past few days have been a really emotional roller coaster for me, but thankfully it has passed. Thanks to those who cared, I truly appreciate it and rest assure, I'm 100% okay to the max right now! (:

Soccer camp started on Thursday and ended yesterday. It was one hella fun of a camp, totally different for those Track & Field camps I had the past 4 years. We were splitted up into 5 groups: Di Stefano, Platini, Muller, Eusebio and Fontaine-5 soccer legendary players (no wonder we're in soccer! XD) JoansiePoansie, Peiqi, Bethany, Peiyi, Sneha and Aline made up Fontaine, yeahh!!!

Day 1 started off with a long run and the super tiring drill!! Lunch and free time, followed by afternoon trng again, dinner and night session of movie-Drumline! A really cool show, makes me wanna join military band too. Stayed overnight in school with some people, had a GOOD and SHIOK supper in the canteen, stealing the Air Rifle's bbq food plus cup noodles. Amelia Jiejie showed me something really really cool, really magical. And on a random note, Pinpin thought the stars were 'chio'. ^^

Day 2 was a match against the J3 seniors and Sam plus some of us. I had some minutes playing for the J3 team, but I felt that I screwed it up, let a pass go right through me, should have focus more; should have kept my eyes on the ball; should have should have. Gee. But still it was fun, and the weather was so damn hot, I got a sunburn and soccer socks tan! Lunch break and free time. Wanxin Bing Sock and I went to gather stuffs and paint the JTS banner, with thousands of close shaves, almost bumping into Xiang and KuanRen many times.

Resumed trng, then coach let the juniors off, saying we had a tough day, let us break. The seniors suspected it was JTS, which was the whole plan of letting them suspect, then we DOUBLE CROSS them! Some stayed behind to set up the real bbq, while the rest of us jogged/walked to pit 43 with the food. Waited there for coach to bring the seniors for a run. Smiles on the seniors faces slowly changed to 'what-the' look when coach scolded us like hell for 'losing the receipt', resulting in us not being able to do a proper JTS. Sherlyn was the actress of the day, crying like nobody's business, so convincing that the seniors believed we really screwed up JTS (Except Bob who insisted otherwise). Coach made us run back to school with the food as punishment and 'change to our boots for a whole night long of trng'. Nice seniors actually believed and felt sorry for us that they wanted to help us do our push ups, because we owed coach 1440 push ups as a team, they calculated until each of them had to do 100 plus each for us. Wheee how sweet. The real JTS was held in school at the Parade Square. (: Had tonnes of fun that night, racing with Gen using Yixiu's crutches, playing basketball with Azlin Jiemin against Xinyi Potz Gen, with Xinyi being the forever-bias-referee! XD! Slept at 1 plus with coach pacing around for a long time, making sure we all slept.

Day 3 and we got woken up with a BANG at 6am by coach, 7 minutes to change into our shoes and proper attire (without brushing teeth or wearing contacts!), fall in at the bball court. Did PT like dunno what crap, felt like dying, all the muscles in my body were on the verge of cramping. But I would definitely not be able to do it if not for the team's encouragement. Like what coach said, we do it for the team, for each other. We are ONE TEAM! It's because of this that we all managed to hang in there and complete his crazy early morning PT. When coach told us that we don't deserve a break, in my heart I was like shit another round of shuttle run? He said we deserve the gold. Whoa that was the moment, the moment where everyone just started crying, it was really something we cannot describe unless you're there to experience it, to feel the whole thing, go through that whole trng as a team. I really love this VJSG team!!! (:

Washed up, had breakfast and we started Gauntlet(?)-like an amazing race around Singapore in our 5 teams, with only 10$ and no Ezlink. Our team Fontaine was the last group to set off because of our lousy score of 20, we were lagging like siao in some previous challenge. We had a lag time of 20 minutes from the first team-Platini. ): Our group and facilitator-Jasmine were the bomb man! We were slow and relax, only running twice in the race, once we ran after Eusebio to the first challenge, and running out of Pasir Ris Park because Di Stefano was right behind us. The rest of the times we walked and took bus and mrt. Our biggest mistake was taking the freaking mrt from changi airport to suntec when we had a straight bus which was faster and much cheaper. At Pasir Ris, I had to climb up the pyramid and touch the top. When I climb there was this small boy on it already. He suddenly went "daaaadyyyy". I was like oh no, sorry boy sorry sorry, 'cause I guess I was shaking the thing and he was scared. BUT THEN!! He went "its okay, do what you have to do". Whoa sounds super cute and mature coming from that 7 or 8 year old boy. Our group lagged like mad again at the Carrefour part, but we ate lots of nice food, including Royce chocolates!! :P But caught up at the bread eating part. Met Platini at the bus stop and back to school with them. It was a tie, but according to coach, he saw our members step onto the red mat first, haha so Fontaine won. Whoooo. It was an awesome experience, from last to first, something that Peiqi was saying c'mon we're the underdogs but we'll get first, and it came true. Really cool, haha. The overall score, Fontaine tied with Platini, and following VJSG's tradition, it was penalty kicks. It was pretty bad, but JoansiePoansie was truly the superwoman of the day, she scored for us and saved all the balls, which helped Fontaine win everything! AAahhh Joansie you da bomb!!!

Received our 2 jerseys, Home and Away. Number 12 yo! :D Wore our white Away jerseys and had team dinner at the Parade Square. Delicious! First time trying the Golden Pillow. Thanks Joansie and parents for giving Bing and I a ride home!!! :)))) I'm so darn freaking shagged right now, wanted to sleep in the whole day, but I realised there is Math CT tomorrow!!!! D.A.R.N! I'm aching all over; my old knee injury is back; my ankle's still swollen; but I'm loving soccer even more!!! (: This camp is plain awesome, with the most awesome vjsg people around!
