Grrrrace

It's amazing how time flies. Just within these 12 days, the Youth Olympic Games are overrrrr. In April I was asked if I wanted to help out in the volleyball games, I agreed without hesitation but when the dates were nearing, I was cursing how much sacrifices I had to make. But I guess after this experience, I have nothing to say but can only agree it was all worthwhile :)

Since I got the schedule for the volleyball games in July, I already predicted the teams that would make it to the finals and yeaaaaaah indeed I was quite spot on.

And since I am a die hard fan of Cuba, I made sure I had to serve Cuba that morning. Die also must!!!!!!! Which I managed to do so eventually hehehe ^^

My efforts did not go to waste at all. I was expecting nothing from the team perhaps except taking pictures with them but not only did I get to do that! Most of the players pat my head and gave me a hug (but wtf they had to bend 90 degrees to hug), and even the coach toooooo!! Hahahaha but the captain is the sweetest ;)

After the finals was a date out to town with Amelia!!! Hehehehe we were supposed to go tanning that day but I was on duty for the YOG volleyball finals. But nevertheless, we still had fun! She even made a Bon Voyage card for meeeeeee. It really surprises me how well we click together. From just a CDS classmate which we only get to see each other two hours once a week each for about eight times, we went swimming together, been to her place and chatted non-stop, ice cream dates and even out to town. I dare say that I am so much closer to her than my classmates in Year 1 which I thought I'd be closer to, because I spend more time with them. Lovin' the close knitted friendship with mah babe♥♥♥

Biggggg flower hair clip on her head!

Happy with her loots! ^^
