this is pretty random, but i realised that i'm really getting old :(

last time whenever i go for overseas tournament,
i'm usually the baby of the team and everyone would take care of me.
now, i'm the auntie of the team :(
look at the team list ! i'm one of the few that was matriculated in 2004 !
oh, very old indeed :(

and while packing my photo drawer, i found many old pics !
so todae, i'll blog bout my beautiful badminton memories !
hahhaha.
pardon the blur pictures, i scanned them onto my comp !

i remember, my first overseas tournament was to changmai, thailand.
that was in 1997, when i was in primary6.wahlao, so scary ! i'm so bloody old already !
its been 10years since i went for that trip !

anywae, that trip was real fun ! there were 10girls and 10guys.
and as the st nicks badminton team won double champs consecutively, in 1996 & 1997,
so more than half the players who represented the combined school team were from st nicks !
we had a real good bonding session :)

here's the singapore contingent ! if you can recognise any of the faces above,
you'll realised that many of the players are now super zai and well-known local players.
there's weipin who has been national champs for years already.
and there's phillip phua who was one of the youngest player who turned professional.
and classmates of hamon, can you spot him?

here's a picture of us with the entire badminton contingent !

among all the overseas tournaments that i've been to,
the most memorable trip was to seremban, malaysia in 2001.
i had the most fun there, maybe becoz the girls team was super close.
and we were very close to the guy team too !
i remember that when we went to seremban,
the hilton hotel was just completed and we were their first guests.
its was lovely, becoz we almost had the whole hotel to ourselves.
the funniest part bout that trip was the swimming pool incident!
i brought my hotel bathsoap to the pool and poured it into the jaccuzzi tub.
within 10mins, the tub become a giant bubbling bathtub !
the guys were so scared that they kept trying to scoop the bubbles out of the tub !
but no matter how quickly they did it, the bubbles just keep forming non-stop !
in the end, the hotel security came to scold us !
and the jaccuzzi tub was close as they had to empty out all the water,
and refill it with clean, non-soapy water !
hahahahha.
and i remembered, we made frens with all the players from other teams.
every night after our long dae of tournament,
we would be meet up with the thailand girls to play cards.
and if the indonesian and malaysian girls were free too,
we would run down to the main lobby and play Dog&Bone !
fun is all i can remember !

here's the entire badminton contingent !
can you spot me?
i'm standing beside the best looking hong kong guy in his team.
one of my team mate had a crush on him,
and she almost died of jealousy when i managed to exchange jersey with him.
in the end, i gave her that hong kong guy's jersey,
and she wore it everydae for the rest of the trip !
very crazy indeed !
and of course, i must mention my best doubles partner !
thats wylene !
we partnered in j1 and got national champs for that individual event.
yums :)

hohohoohho.
wad lovely memories indeed :)
EDIT !
oh i realised that the pictures are super small and blur.
oh well, next time den show you ok?
