Hi guys, just a short post before I leave for Brisbane. It is one in the morning right now and I am kinda excited! Exited = can forget about sleeping!!!!! Am really worried about the weather change now cauz it is kinda erratic at the moment and it fluctuates, ANYTIME! It has been long since I been to Australia, say eight years ago? I have actually been to all the places I will be going on this trip but my lecturers assured me that it would be a whole new (blah blah blah inserts best excuses) experience. Hopefully I will really learn something from this trip, at least something educational please???

So yup I assure all my friends who read my blog that I will be back in one piece and NOTHING WILD WILL HAPPEN COS I AM AND WILL BE A GOOD GIRL. Amen.

Okay gonna tryyyy catch some sleep now and before I go, let me leave you a picture with my Leon Wilfredo and team! Ok Lamadrid is just as awesome too :D

I look really bad in the pictures, nothing new yah? The lack of sleep made it worse.

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! ^^

Ok here are some of the pictures taken with them

Heart pain my #10 McMahon tripped on herself two days before the finals cuz she is too tall. Tallest USA player, standing at 1.98 metres.

And now......

TEAM CUBAAAAAAAAA~!

BEFORE THE MARCH-IN.

MY LEEEOONNNNNNNNNN~

Leon is only 17 and he is already a world class player. He recently played for the world league and his spikes and services are just outta the world~

Made friends with a Mexican lady

AND AFTER THE GAME,

CUBA CAPTAIN #6 LAMADRID

So many girls took picture with him and he stood normally and smile but when it came to my turn he went 'awww', pat my head, bend down and gave me a friendly hug then take a picture with me..... ^^

I asked him to stand straight this time but not really straight!!

The lady in between is an Olympian two times in a row already!!!!!!

DA GOLD MEDAL IS DAMN HEAVY ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT REAL GOLD LAH DUH. But at least I got to hold it ^^

And the coach is really nice tooooooo!!!!

Now you know why I was loving every minute of YOG!!!! Hahahaha awesome experienceeeee♥

Kay by right I should be busy packing my junk into the hugeass luggage but I have some pictures with meeeeee!!! So busy for the past few days, with my ice cream date at ice cream chefs with Ameliaaaaa, Fiona's (surprise) birthday 3D2N chalet, and helping out in volleyball for the YOG. That is why I previously mentioned I reckon I will not really be at home most of the time this holiday. Next up is Brisbane and I am flying off in say 6 days' time? And meanwhile I am helping out as a volunteer at the Toa Payoh Sports Hall. Really interesting matches they have! I cannot help feeling puny most of the time 'cause I am only maybe a head above most of the volleyball players' belly buttons........! Yah I know this sounds reaaaally craazy and YES they are that tall.

And I am done with day two at the sports hall. My job is to guide the players where to go and pack food into their changing rooms. But I kinda got the chance to interact with them although we have some communication barriers. They are kinda fun to be with!!! Really wanted to take pictures with the players especially Leon Wilfredo the awesome world class player but everyone is always busy.

NEVERTHELESS I actually got a picture taken with Gonzalo Lapera of Argentina, I think? ^^

Idk how I managed to look so tall here~

'

Went to the flea at Powerhouse today with Deanna and Fiona, no pictures sorry! Saw and bumped into many familiar faces. I think I saw quite a number of my course mates toooooooo. But anyway hahahaha I think I was such an asshole to the both of them oopsie ^^

Headed to town to meet my classmates to collect stuff I bought from the spree yaaaayyyyyy~ and off to Sengkang for a nice dinner with my parents. Happy daaaaay!

Ok now, the filtered pictures from the chalet taken with my camera. The pictures taken in my camera really cannot make it. As in it has to be strictly filtered and stuff :O
