rowell

heya guys! finally im able to write another entry. ive been dying to flood my blog with what telah happened these past weeks!!
so here goes: the trip to kl was a blast!! i dreaded the trip for the first few days cuz it was super boring. first day of arrival, we ate slumber breakfast. some soggy stuffs. then, took a 30mins ride to Batu Dam where the race's gonna take place. the dam was damn nice. (yah...haha.) at least nicer view than the factories in pandan reservoir. anyways, yea. all i did for the first day was sit under the super duper hot merciless sun and did a little bit of riggings to my boat here and there. i think we went down to the water for a while to test the boat. uhh, the water was super scary, i tell u. something ive nvr experienced back in spore. so we found out that the boat was unsuitable for me and my partner, shuying. so forget the painstaking riggings and all, we had to choose another boat that could support our weight. oh what the heck. i dont think u're all bothered with all these, yah?
okok. i'll move on to the exciting partS of my wonderful trip. 1stly, there were a handful of seriously tall dark and handsome guys. i mean it. and they come from philippines, indo and msia. i dont know abt spore's rowers. haha. but it was lyk, "WHOA~" *boy crazy mood activated* i hardly know them on the first day but as days passed by, they slowly get to know me, and i got to know them and yeah~ they're a bunch of super cute, super friendly, super tall, dark and handsome lads. national rowers ley. dont play play. anyways, when they smile, ooh, u'll just go week in the knees! ok, aisyah. stop it. =P
rowell tolentino- thats his name. yea. the 190cm, 21 yr old hotie from philippines. when i thot adeel was super tall, standing next to rowell was lyk super WHOA! i took pictures with him twice and yea, i dont mind u showing it to u all but i haf no idea how to post pictures in my entry. haha. so, yep, we exchanged numbers, he gave me one of his nike wristbands. u noe the "in-thing" now. he had 3 of them all
blue. so wall-faced me asked if i could haf one. he was sweet enough to hand me one.
the SEA rowing federation had a dinner cum karaoke on one of the last few days of our stay. that was the first time the other filipino guy asked for my name. mark, yea. i heard he's a little cheeky. haha. but he was kinda cute. well, everyone was cute so yah. haha.
the rest of the story, is my darkest secret.
and syahir came up with a super lame joke of the week: aisyah's darkest secret...
her skin.
where was i? uhh yes. chinatown. the haven of cheap imitaion goods. i dint know i was a shopaholic until i stepped into chinatown. and yea, i learnt the art of bargaining as well. i also went to berjaya times square. bought pirated dvds. went to the indoor theme park. oh, we walked to BTS with the filippinos but they dint follow us to the theme park. i got the chance to walk with rowell for a few minutes. haha. suker ahh tuu. *blush* ummm, yea, raihan awarded me the loudest and most irritating screamer for the day. cannot tahan lahh, the rides were super scary. what luck those filipinos werent there. haha. after about 4 thrill rides, my head felt like spinning off my neck. blardy headache.
after that, i went for a little shopping for girls' clothes. guess what? i went clubbing for the first time! it wasnt really nice. the club was dark, smoky, loud, noisy, havoc, wild. WHOA. i was so lost in that sinful place. i couldnt dance. so, it was SO not a place for me. no more. aisyah will always stay innocent. promise.
ummm, the worst moment of the trip was saying goodbye to the filipino guys. haha. part and parcel of life yea.
well, in case u dint see my name in the papers, (hehe) we came in 3rd for our double sculls event. we almost capsized twice. bcuz the water was blardy fierce. haha. wah, i miss last week already. haha.
got back to school with "lost" written all over my face. one week has passed but i still haf not yet blended in into the surroundings. acjc is an english school. no doubt abt that. ive never felt so mute during netball trainings. its lyk the scgs, chij, mgs and rgs girls makes up about 99% of the team. that leaves only me. from bp. uhhh, life's tough but ive gotta do what i wanna do. yea.
so far, not so good, but what to do, i must try to fit in or i'll regret my 3mths. well, i look forward to the cny celebration when the malay cultural society gets to perform dikir barat. and yea, this means that all the malay acjcian gets together. yey.
today, i just ended another rowing competition. won 2 silver. had my first singles race. and the water had to be mean to me. anyways, philippines wasnt invited so haha. nothing much lah.
missing all the people and things i miss,
Aisyah *=)
