Saturday
IVP starts today. Had to wake up early in the morning and took about 2 hours from my house to MacPherson ITE. Once there, was a bit late but still, the actual thing started at 10am. Had time to test the carpet and warm-up. First half of the events, NP got the first gold of the competition. Waited until the second half of the competition. Mine was one of the last few events. Finally it wa my turn. Made the same mistakes as during the Nationals. But I managed to secure a 4th position and received a medal. At the end of the competition, NP Wushu got second place overall in having the most medal tally. In total we had 10 event medals and two trophies. One of them was from the Sparring and the other from Overall Second.
Went for dinner celebration at Suntec Just Noodles. It was about $10, considering that there is free flow of drinks and ice-cream. After the meal, we had some fun at the Fountain of Wealth. Left at about 9pm+.
Sunday
Went down to Paya Lebar. Met up with Jaryl, Guo Hong, Hao Meng, Hong Wei, Sin Hui. Then made our way to Kampong Ubi CC as we couldn't continue walking since it was raining heavily. Waited for Jun Ming to fetch us down to somewhere in Joo Chiat. He also brought along two NUS students who were performing as well. The performance was kinda screwed up as the floor was wet, no proper stage and not many audience. After performance, went home after that.
Tuesday
School as per normal. For Sports and Wellness (S & W), I chose basketball and the first lesson was kinda boring. Had some stupid activity and then did some passing and bouncing of the ball.
Lesson ended early. Stayed around in school for a while. Then went down to City Hall to meet Alvin and Xian Feng. Alvin treated us to Yuki Yaki for helping with the moving of his room previously. The food wasn't so bad. The ice-cream part was quite fun. After dinner, we walked back to MRT station and took the train home.
