Eyes are closing, but I just feel like posting.
I honestly can't believe sabbaticals will be over, like tomorrow. GOSH. I think I've gotten one of the best few sabbaticals and I really love them to the core. Superhero is just great cause you get to watch so many clips/movies plus exploring about how sueprheroes is really very interesting. New perspective of them you know. Stuffs like anti-heroes are really cool. And today we watched the whole of Hancock! Gosh always wished to watch that film and as expected it was great! Gosh damn damn nice. Laughed till I almost teared, and one part was so touching I almost teared to. Just love the humour in the movie. Like what, "Your head is going up his ass." AND IT REALLY HAPPENED OMFG LOL.
And juggling, I'm just so glad I put it as my first choice. No regrets at all. It's like what.. once in a lifetime experience? Actually it's not really about juggling, juggling it's just a small part of it and there are many other props available. It's actually called Circus Sampler according to the writeup?
Since I've experienced all the props already, shall comment on each on of them! Since all of them are so cool!
Day 1

Juggling was first. Love it! Could juggle three balls which was amazing I guess haha! But it's super tiring, tiring cause of picking the balls when you drop them.

Diabolo! It was quite cool. Making it spin on the spot was relatively easy. However the tricks were tricky. Could do the throwing and catching thing successfully only once.. which is kinda falied? Haha! But I didn't really like it as you have to really shake your hands real hard to keep the thing spinning haha.
Day 2

Poi. I HATE THIS ONE. Okay what we played with was similar to this except imagine that the balls at the end are tennis balls instead. Haha. Okay this was quite easy to like spin, but it's damn damn damn painful when you hit or smack yourself. And it's frequent you know. Like when you're doing then suddenly smack! OWW! What happened?! Yea. AND THE FREAKING BLISTER. Got my blister thanks to that. And my blister is still there. Bulging bigger than ever.

Flower sticks! The instructors said that this was the hardest, and I agree. It's quite cool, like playing with chopsticks with a special stick. But hard. Yea. At least it isn't tiring cause you get to sit down and play with it LOL.
Day 3
Oh they taught us this throwing and catching balls game which is a really good game for bonding and teamwork! Yay added another game to my list of games I may need for PSL camps or whatnot lol.
We got a choice to 'specialise' in something we experienced before for the first half. I chose juggling with Woonyee cause that's the only thing I'm good in. Kinda improved in juggling so yay? But dunno how to do any tricks larh. So long I can juggle with three balls for a while I'm happy!

STILTS! Gosh this is tiring but FUN!! Quite scary to, especially to come up on the stilts. And balancing on it at first. Haha I'm really thankful to Woonyee for being such a great partner larh!! When I had to try walking without holding on to her hands at all, I was like "MUMMY.. POKO.. PANTS." Gosh I don't know why I said that either! LOL DAMN MALU. But anyways it's fun! And apparently the instructor can run and jump with it OMFG.
Day 4 (today)

Plates! Haha I think you know what I mean from this cartoon. It's the easiest, yes I agree, when you use the rubber plates haha. At first I was using the plastic one and could hardly get it spinning larh! Then Weihui told me to try using the rubber one and it worked lol! So easy to spin using the rubber plates! And I can do some simple tricks too! Like throwing it up and catching with backside of the stick, and throwing and catching from friend (Woonyee haha). YAY SUPER FUN. But the twisting trick was totally.. arghh my arm was like cramped up.
Then last half we did SKIPPING. GOSH I TELL YOU I LOVE THIS ACTIVITY. Like it's group skipping which is darn cool. Much better than skipping alone which is saddd! It's like the first two times I didn't know exactly how to go about entering the ropes (newbie mah) and was screaming like mad. First time was screaming/shrieking everytime I jumped, second time was run and jump then landed way off the rope when I was supposed to do a second jump. DAMN MALU CAN. BUT FUN. Anyways I soon got the hang of it yays! AND WE MET THE JUNIORS/SENIORS RECORD of nine people jumping together on the rope! GOSH I WANNA BREAK THE RECORD TOMORROW SO BADLY!
Yea that's it. GAHH I'M REALLY SAD FOR TOMORROW. LIKE ONCE IT'S GONE. IT'S GONE. *MUMMY.. IT'S OVER* (you know that just for laugh gags thingo) Oh and in juggle art right, not only do you get to try all these cool stuffs, you get to watch COOL LIVE PERFORMANCES TO CAN. Especially when they show super super cool tricks it's like I can't stop my mouth from opening haha.
Okay and after school tomorrow was epic. First was quite a random, unexpected heart to heart talk with one of my batchmate. Saw a new side of her I've never seen before, and honestly I felt like I should have said something to console her but I'm really not good at consoling people (despite being a peer support leader, ironically). Really hopes she becomes more optimistic larh. AND I DO CARE FOR YOU OKAY. It's weird for me to say that in your face but I DO. Although I hardly interact with you but you're one of the special few in my heart. And you'll never be insignificant to me, really. But anyways I doubt you'll be reading this.
Then after the talk was TABLE TENNIS IN 308. OMG EPIC. SUPER EPIC. Cause Vanessa and I realised we couldn't go boarding school to play table tennis, we combined tables in class to make a table tennis table! Haha it was like Sinlie, Kaixuan, Vanessa, Zouyan and me playing but different time lah. DAMN COOL. Although it was quite fail at the beginning but Zouyan and I kinda got the hang of the table? Haha! Especially with the ridges on the table making the ball fly in some other direction was amusing. Gosh really very very, memorable. But as usual picking up balls was tiring. Very tiring. I swear I hate picking up balls now, especially tiny ones.
Yea end of this real long post. If you've read every single word to the end, I'm truly honoured that I've managed to hold your attention for that long. Will be going to Malaysia this Friday, coming back next Monday. Gosh my restaurant city and hotel city DD: Like there goes my log in 30+ days in a row report in restaurant city. But oh wells, I'm kinda looking forward to the trip cause mummy says there's a korean steamboat and barbeque dinner on the first day? LOL. That's like the only thing I'm looking forward to then. How sad.
Wells June holidays are really getting more packed. Like come back from malaysia is SLC straightaway! Gosh can't wait for SLC, it'll be ultra ultra fun I believe! Then second week is trainings + handover + batchoutings. Third week was supposedly my free week but now Thursday and Friday are packed with Math remedial (eh I rather them be on one day larhh!) And fourth week is at malaysia again. Free time will be spent doing SIAs and watching korean dramas, totally expected can.
Nevermind, at least a short break is better than none. xD
