Racial Harmony Day 2006

My knee is currently hurting so I’m wearing a knee guard. Had to plough through my brother’s rubbish before I actually found one to wear. It’s quite hard to bend my knee in them but at least they really do provide more support for my weak jointed knee. Haha, maybe it’s time to start drinking more milk for calcium.

Invigorate rocked! Haha, we won volleyball finals and we are in floor ball guys finals! The floor ball girls didn’t make it to finals but its okay because they can still fight hard for third position!

The day was passing by really slowly, maybe because everyone or at least a big group of us were just exhausted from all the mugging we were doing the pass few days, in light of the fact that we have been bombarded with test after test, week after week. And I forgot to mention that Friday was racial harmony day.

I had to dress up in an ethnic costume because it was somehow agreed upon by all the house committee people. Haha, it isn’t compulsory but let’s just say that if you don’t dress up, they will slaughter you and hang your meat for the vultures. I borrowed a dhoti from Vaishali’s father. It was fully white and it looked like it belonged to some priest or something. Haha. I was still freaking out in the morning because I didn’t know how to wear the bottom of the dhoti and had to seek help from Shreya because no one else seemed to know how to put it on. It was quite fun to wear it actually. I got Amanda to hold one side of the bottom and I started to turn into it. HAHA!

It would have been a good idea to bring something thinner to wear underneath the translucent top. I ended up sweating like a pig during assembly. The bottom was quite hard to move in and I nearly fell like at least 20 times throughout the whole day. When I bumped into this lady teacher, I remember nearly falling into the air rifle range if Isabelle had not been in my way to stop me. Haha.


Me in my dhoti that was secretly taken by Marjorie.

Went to Kolam Ayer at night for a friendly match. Of course, I was probably summoned in the last minute because no one else could make it, but hey, I seized the opportunity to gain more exposure I suppose. Haha, aren’t I optimistic? Lol. Felt really disappointed, sad and exasperated with myself throughout the whole game, thinking why I suck so badly after playing for a year already. I believe that I could have played better. Oh well, there’s still time for improvement, I guess I will just have to work harder.

Had dinner or supper, if you will, at the coffee shop nearby. Had a craving for fried kway teow but regretted buying it in the end because it tasted like crap. Lol. Ended the long day with an even longer ride home.
