Post it!

Posting again after quite some time...
It's finally the March break so i can't be happier.
7 days without lectures
[where tables that fold in do not permit any form of sleeping
where we also eat pringles/lays/chocolate with champagne/pocky/those crumbly puffs etc
where we rack our brains trying to keep up with the lecturer who's two pages ahead 
where we scribble furiously as a last minute solution to our lagging-behind problem
and where we prepare ourselves for the next two years of such torture]
and tutorials.

I'll miss Climbing of course, the peeps, the warm-ups and the climbing. I can't really comprehend how quickly we've all grown so close together in such a short time. Like Jia Ying ma'am once told us pioneers, that the things that are bitter to do are sweet to remember. I'm sure it applies to this kinda bond we've got. Soon we'll get our climbing shoes (yipee!) and other equipment, then we'll really get the feel of climbing as a sport.

The past trainings, i was very very happy with my progress. Just a few milestones that i'd treasure, of course with the help of my seniors and coach and belayers.
1) Philip (my coach) shortlisted me as one of the three girls in the J1 team. We'll be joining the Year 2s after March for wed, fri and satuday trainings. I was overjoyed (:
2) I completed the yellow route on the extreme left wall (after weeks of doing only the white routes)
3) I completed the blue route on the extreme left wall (but the right side). I was SUPER tired after coming down n my legs like turned to jelly... haha but it was a good experience la, trying to mactch feet to hand. (crazy i tell u...). Much thanks to the above mentioned people, namely Vanessa, Gwen n Val plus the J2s who guided me along the way

That's all i have time for today, cos i predict more posts the coming week.

Ciao
