Boring days again.

ytd's defeat hit me particularly hard. Yes, it was a bad defeat, and i was especially a bad loser ytd.

Woke up and took a taxi to nanyang poly. Passed by the celebrations at rjc/ri. The PM was there. Initially rb, banseng, me etc wanted to take part in the raffles trail, a game based on amazing race to commerate the rjc opening. Sadly, the prize of ipod video prove too alluring so we couldn't partcipate. (drawing of lots)

Well, at first was just waiting. Ms Lim was again late. Shall not reveal the horrible stuff the rest were saying. Met wang qian and yunhao ("yuan de")yar, so there was the quiz in the lt. They are quite inexperienced cos it's ridiculously easy to cheat. And the idea of pasting the stickers is just plain stupid.

I was actually very confident after the quiz. The questions were rather easy, and our whole contingent tot most wold get full marks. So the written translation part made me even more confident. The english one, i tot was perfect, other than wujiaoji (dammit, studied it last yr). The english passage was rather disjointing, but still translated well enouh , i tot.

But after a rather boring recess (chen yuan xiang the extra guy was the "pioneer" to the canteen), we went back. And i nearly tot our team could get in, but the other team got in. sianz... i think my other 2 members were too suck. I mean zhihao ponned all the trainings... boo. But chenxi (chenxiang)s team went up, and performed quite well. Chen xi pwned me for the jiu gong get though. And they got 2nd eventually. Gotta say that the hci guy waas too ggood in impromptu translation.

I feel quite sad for myself, really. Like for the mouse competition, i din feel sad when losing cos the winning teams were noobs, and considering we din specialise in the areas, losing was inevitable. But this was different. Actually the teams were selected on merit, but on difering personalities. I was actually considered with chenxi, based on the pro role. And indeed, he pwned me in the quiz section. Even then, my members din help me at all. It was a horrible feeling. Imagine being the captain abd being put in the reserve team?! Even ms lim told me after that that i shldn't look so sad, but how to?

So while we were reveling in golden boy (cx)'s triumph, i was feeling very down actually. I felt a betrayal of trust, and ms lim knew it. If valerie is reading, i apologize to u. Firstly, i was really too distracted. And secondly, i think i wasn't in the mood to say hi. I know it's dumb, but as i've mentioned, i am a bad loser. Even when the prize money is split between we 6, the feeling of losing is just too hard to take...

Well, we just went to secret recipe. It was a celebration party, kind of on ms lim. I ate irish lamb stew, ironically the same as chenxi. that was fantastic though, and kinda made up for the disappoinment. Yar, ate cheese cakes, etc etc. So when i got home, wasn't really that sad.

But that's wasn't the end. My mum went to guailan me/ ap. It was damn irritaing, esp since i wasn't in a pleasant mood either. She was like calling me a loser.. So we quarelled and i was really tickled.

yar, that was basically ytd, a horrible day.

Today wasn't much different. Woke up at 12 (!!) And read newspapers, had lunch and blogged. Maybe will study jap later.
