ICE.COLD.COFFEE

I woke up this morning, ready to go for training and just before I stepped into my Dad's car, I looked at the sms that my phone just alerted me about. Apparently, it was from Cheryl and this is what it said:

"tmr both dy and fabian cant make it.. so u still want to go tmr and train together?"

The message was sent late last night, and I already went to bed. So now I didn't know if training was cancelled or not.

I called Cheryl and from her voice, I could tell that I woke her up. She said trainig was cancelled and that the girls were still going to train on their own.

So I decided to go training and hopped into my Dad's car. When we came out of the carpark, the sky looked like it was going to rain very, very heavily. So, he persuaded me not to go, and dropped me somewhere near our house so I could go home.

The thing I'm mad about is that there will usually be some sort of relay system or something to tell everyone that training has been cancelled. But no one told me anything! Maybe because I haven't been going for training for the last 2 weeks because of the attachment that they forgot about me.

I can tell that Fabian and Ding Yong are not happy about me skipping so many trainings. I think my attendance is only half. Which is very bad, considering that it's a sports cca after all. But I have no choice cos horti is my first priority and the friday meetings clash with training. Thursdays' trainings I can't attend too because of econs S.

Then now, I had to skip 2 weeks of training because of the attachment. They're probably not happy with my attendance and I can totally understand that. Because that's the way I feel too when Ryan skips horti meetings ever so often.

But I'll just like to say that I don't regret missing all those trainings. If I had to choose again, I would still go for horti meetings and the attachment, even though that means I'll have to skip training. But if I were to choose all over again, right from the very beginning, the only difference I would have made might have been to quit swimming at the end of last year when Li Ling quitted too.

Then, I wouldn't have to bother so much about trainings and could even go for Biz on wednesdays. Sure will miss the swimming people and the juniors that I wouldn't have had the chance to meet though. Why I stayed on was because I really like swimming and also because I was the only girl left. I was pretty sure that if I hadn't stayed on, the girls' team wouldn't have that many members as it has now.

I'm not saying that I'm very important in swimming, but give me some credit man. The girls learnt much from me, the only girl senior who taught them about stuff they weren't sure of.

Anyway, I'm not going to bother about this incident. I'll just go for training this week, which is probably the last few trainings before nationals. Then after the competition which is like 2 or 3 weeks later, we'll be stepping down and I can finally concentrate on my studies full time.

Meanwhile, I'm at home, watching it rain cats and dogs outside. So lucky that my Dad convinced me to come home to study instead.
