tired me

all the activities in my life are tiring me out. due to the competition, i haven't been slping enough. n even after that, the excitment of winning gave me many slpless nites/naps too. haha, so duh rite...

started work today. hmm... this time the pushcart is at a bad location and the accessories carts are all together! so horrid. please do come visit me @ parco bugis junction, Varvara, n increase my sales k?? or else i'll forever be stuck with 5bucks/hour. sobsob.

i'm a need-alot-of-slp person. but i'm also a can't-fall-aslp-easily-unless-at-home person. yet, i fell aslp on the bus ride home just now. fell aslp at feng's place yest. almost fell aslp on the mrt this morn to work. aiyohz... i haven been so tired and deprived of slp since jc times.

and i'm getting upset due to all these busy-ness. dun even have the luxury to slack at home anymore. sigh. i'm in desperate need of me-time! feel that me n feng are drifting apart due to my lack of time for him too......

Grand Champion, ImagineCup 2005 Singapore

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is crazy i tell u... n its definitely totally surreal. only now is the reality of winning sorta sinking in. hahahhaha! we are best in singapore! can u imagine?

pls allow me to describe everything to the finest details... its only so many times u can emerge as a grand champion in any competition... =)

since becoming one of the grand finals last week, we have worked extremely hard every single nite (we can only work nites coz dot is doing internship), only reaching home abt 1+ am all the time. it was really super tiring. actually, am still very shagged out... last nite was the worse. had to get our static display boards printed in queensway, finalise our presentation, practise like mad and stick our postcards under all the seats in the auditorium. wahz~ left MS only ard 2am i think. by the time i got home, i din even hav the energy for my nitely phonecall to feng.

woke up at 7am dis morn n cabbed down to MS. my eye bags were SOO dark n big - horrendous! arrived still in my specs and messy hair. haha! all the other male competitors (me n dot were the only girls) were staring. hahah!

u wont know how nervous i was b4 our presentation man. but it was sorta encouraging when we saw the team b4 us presenting, or rather, merely reading from the podium. our presentation cant be worst than that lohz.

weirdly, the emcee spent a significant amt of time introducing our team - the collaboration btw 2 schs, and even quoting us on why we decided to join the competition. haha, i was so embarrassed coz my reason was the prizes. anyway, our presentation went really smooth. =) of coz i stumbled/paused here n there due to nervousness, but got back within 2 seconds. think they enjoyed the super short skit when i acted and they definitely loved vincent's dramatic demo. it was super funny n entertaining. altho we've heard it umpteen times, we still always laugh.

we were the ONLY team where all 4 members presented and all 4 answered questions. as quoted by a reporter who interviewed us, "i noticed ur team has alot of chemistry..." wahaha! the judges asked ALOT of qns. and that was definitely a good sign. we were so relaxed, even grinning away during the Q&A, it was fun instead of nerve-wrecking. i was quite shocked when a judge said, "i know ur system will earn money" after i sorta answered out of point. haha!

then, dilly dally while we waited for the results. prizes were given out to all the other finalists (5th-12th). then came the top 4. 4th was expected n the emcee did a booboo n flashed their name way b4 he was supposed to announce. then 3rd. sheesh. i was soooo nervous. dot too. we were like grabbing each others hands sooo tight. then the emcee stalled for such along time talking crap. it was unnerving. i felt like the final 2 of a miss universe pageant. i'm serious! bcoz we have always known its either them or us. they're a very strong team with wins from lots of other competitions. when the emcee finally announced, "and the runner up is Medisign." dorothy n i screamed. WE Won! Envisage won! we actually won!!! we're going japan! we're really getting a zen each! wahahahha! n there were so many flashes ard us! =)

after that, things juz happened in quite a blur... went on stage to collect our zen micros, n the flash bulbs juz kept clicking, posed with our Cup trophy, the flashes continued. got off stage, shook lots of hands, hugged mama, took more pictures for ourselves, lingered ard and most of the crowd filtered out. did snippets of our presentation again for CNA, got interviewed, cleared up... n finally got to sit down for lunch in the recreation room with stanley only ard 3pm.

tmr's justin's gonna appear live on CNA at 8.50am! haha! n i'm gg down to support him in every way i can.

i'm going japan!!!! yokohama! fully expense paid trip! wahz...~ it's really been a helluva ride. n i'm expecting more to come my way.

we're an Imaginecup Grand Finalist!

OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG

that was wat i wrote in msn when vincent told me we're in and have made it to the grand finals of imaginecup. yes, i'm still rather in disbelief. wahahahah! actually i dunno why they only announced it in the sg.net forum and din email everyone.... yet, they've oredi sent out invitations to the grand finals to microsoft staff (i assume, since our mentor attached it in his recent congrats mail)

i really cannot believe we got in..... after yesterday's presentation n the judges reaction, i really din know wat to think. the presentation was not bad, since we practised many many times n seriously, our system is damn good. but still... i flumbled towards the end. gosh! i totally forgot how to connect to the next thing i was supposed to say.... coz, ok this will sound super dumb, but it was coz i got distracted when i noticed my nametag had dropped... thank God i only panicked for 3 secs and managed to refocus again. my blooper made the judges smile (n that was the only time thruout the presentation). thank God for that too, coz i smiled back n got the courage to carry on again. =)

hahaha! yeah... so we're now the top4 teams in singapore and will be vying for the top spot to represent singapore next tues 24may. OMG. i am so totally excited. n nervous. n scared. coz this time round is not just the 3 judges, its everybody! other imaginecup teams that din make it, public, and prob even the press!

oh well... another long long week of rehearsals, discussions and late nites. n i'm oredi down with fever. sigh. so many things to settle for my events' side too. hahaha, need to be strong n attempt to be superwoman again...

to myself: *patpat* jiayou!

pre-competition jitters

*panics*
tmr's our presentation!! (err... actually, today... in like 14hours' time) ahhh!!! i'm very nervous leh....... this will totally determine whether we will be one puny step closer to getting to japan! i so wanna go japan! i so wanna win this! so, we need to emerge one of the top 3 tmr! gee, i'm really super nervous.

previously, in the semis, i din really feel much coz i din hafta present. i was the star in our 2min video clip anyway and got my fair share of screen time. haha! but this time... weirdly, i'm talking 5min, which is rather long since we allocated only 10min for presentation n the other 5min for prototype demo. oh well.... i shld be fine. juz need to practise somemore when i wake up in the morn and stay focused and clear-minded. *whines... help!*

~~~ Angela 1:43 AM

AHHHH!!! i'm like bombarded with at least 60emails a day...... n if u're thinking its spam which i can juz click delete, its not! hafta read thru every single one of them. sighz......... my eyes are failing me oredi. dunno y, its been getting bloodshot very easily often........

i'm think i'm more stressed now then during sch term.... so ridiculous rite? my days are like totally packed, dun seem to haf time for myself, much less impt pple in my life. sighz. very sad. nvm lah, i'm still trying hard to keep my spirits up.

The most painful thing in life is when someone who loves you stops loving you.

but life still goes on.

maybe someone else will make me his Hime.
