Cross country was spirit lifting! The day started when Randy and i boarded the already-full-of-Andersonians'-855-bus around 6.30am where we were making a ruckus at the front of the bus, obstructing the movement of many people. We chit-chatted for almost an hour before reaching HarbourFront at 7.40am.
We thought we were early early, we thought. Upon crossing the road to the train station, we were met with a swarm of Andersonians, at least 500 i'd say, all waiting for the 2, or more, shuttle buses.
We then decided to walk there, but was stopepd by some security personnel as we were just approaching the entrance of Sentosa. After half an hour of dilly-dallying, we decided to pay $3 to board the shuttle bus there.
Reached Sentosa rather early as we caught up with those that left earlier. Nevertheless we were hurried into settling down at the sandy beach.
'Tactics' and plans for the race later soon become the topic of conversation as many gathered around the pace-makers to discuss. I started the race rather infront, with a mob of people around me of course.
As the race started and everyone dispersed, i began running with Chuan Yee and Ganesh and we 3 started and ended the race together. Sad thing is that Ganesh came in 23rd and me coming in 24th and we were just 8 seconds from the 20th spot.............
Oh well.
After the run, everyone headed to the drinks' booth for refreshments before the games started soon after. 4/6's games were all at the back and we just hung about, under the sweltering heat and torturous sun for you-know-how-long.
The guys reached the finals of the beach soccer unconvincingly, with me missing a penalty (it was on target :S) and the other team scoring 3. We lost 3-1.
On the otherhand the Captain's ball team got into the finals too, but we won. Sheer luck i reckon but who cares.
We were dismissed after collecting our medals and we took the monorail back to VivoCity. Had lunch at BK before walking around for an hour with Zhi Wei and Zong Han to buy my shirt.
I bought one from fcuk, and got reprimanded by everyone, even the salesgirl, for not trying it on.
BUT HEY IT FITS >: (
Took the train home and 825 with Nadia. Tried hydrating myself but to no avail.
Woke up around 9 the next day and had tuition at 12. My skin pricked and i winced every time i tried a facial expression. Did rate of change and small increment during tuition. Walked around J8 to get another shirt but all were cheapo shirts.
Got home to prepare myself for my cage session with my neighbour. Brought Jamal along and we played 3 hours and ended up paying $20 per person lol.
Reached home in time for the Liverpool game.
Overall well performance from us as we ate Newcastle up, winning 3-0.
Owen and Keegan returned to Anfield, on the losing side sadly as Pennant, Torres and Gerrard bagged 3 goals and 3 points for us to take into our CL return leg at the San Siro. Now for Everton to lose..
