Girls Are Like M&M's

Check This Vid out! I watched this late at night and i laughed so loud and it woke my parent's.
This has no relevance to Cross btw.

おめでとう！

(If your computer doesn't allow Japanese script, you probably can't see the title =P)
(And I know I screwed up the first version of this post, so this is a post patch. Paiseh, was mugging for Jap oral while making this post)

Anyway, the title reads "Congratulations!" in Japanese. If you can't see the title, you can substitute those funny square thingys which appear in the title with the words "Congratulations!" =D

K, so let's get down to introducing our three significant figures (3 sf!) of Year 2009...

First, we have 2009 B-DIV CAPTAIN LEENI LEE GUAN LIN!

By the way, this is a *random* reminder not to twist your neck like that when you're talking on the handphone, cuz it strains the side of your neck which is supporting the phone on your shoulder. In other words, if you do this too much, it's bad for your neck!

Next, we have B-DIV VICE-CAPTAIN SEOW!

Watch him embrace the camera with his _ _ _ _ _ _ finger!
(No prize for guessing the missing word)

And last but not least, there's C-DIV CAPTAIN YEOW!

A certain person in this picture should note that it's not nice to chew a piece of aloe vera when posing for a photo. =X Can you spot the piece of aloe vera...?
P.S. Notice the height differences!
P.P.S. Omg, that was mean.
P.P.P.S. Okay, nevermind.
P.P.P.P.S. Yeow rhymes with Seow!
P.P.P.P.P.S. This is random...

On a completely different note, the MOELC 3rd Lang EOYs are here!!!
This is a significant moment of the year, due to the fact that when the MOELC EOYs are over, one should prepare for the onslaught of the RI EOY papers within 2 weeks' time. Time is short, so get busy with your mugging today! Otherwise you'll end up like Seow who labels himself as an "at risk student" =P

Derek Milkcurd Syndrome

If you were there for training this Monday, you should know what the "Derek Milkcurd Syndrome" is about. =)

In case you don't, the DMS first started when Derek ordered a cup of mango milkcurd from the PopCafe immediately after training ended at RI Field. Then, he brought it to the RI stadium steps and started eating it on the spot. Some of us who were staring at him got free samplez! Mmm, mango milkcurd... ... ... ...

If you haven't tried it before (and you're not allergic to mango pudding/ milkcurd), I recommend you to try it! But wait, READ THIS -> I dismiss myself of all responsibilities if you catch DMS!!

And the DMS has recently affected another individual:


Hah. So much for the DMS.

Since there's still quite a bit of space left on this post, I'll fill it in with an advertisement!

Compare both pictures below:

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.

Actually, there's not much of a difference. It's just that the picture on top was the original one, and the picture below is the edited version. Notice the blurred out background. Aha! I know what you're thinking! No... it's not photoshop! Photoshop is for rich ppl. It's a programme called GIMP (stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program), which is awesome if you don't have photoshop. Nevertheless, it's still slightly inferior to Photoshop though =( But it's still good for a free product!

Bii Nine Fuss! (No prize for guessing what this means)

Bedok Reservoir TimeTrial 17-9-2008

Here's a quote from Wikipedia regarding the definition of a TimeTrial:
"In many racing sports an athlete (or occasionally a team of athletes) will compete in a time trial against the clock to secure the fastest time."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_trial

In case you haven't already noticed, the run at Bedok Reservoir today was a TimeTrial! =)

...

What a cliche way to start off a blog post. Bleahx.

Anyway, here are some peektures! Prepare for a relatively not-so-interesting blog post as I was stuck at the back of the bus for the whole trip to Bedok and couldn't get many pictures. Anyway, in addition to that, I believe that all of us were sooooooo busy warming up for the timetrial, that none of us would have the time to take photos... right? (Prods you to make you agree)


1. Hmm, what's MChia doing? o.O
[ Note that adopting this position will instantly render one vulnerable to a poke to the side! Now why didn't anyone think of that...? (K nvm, that was mean. =X) ]


2. Ooh. A very lively bus. Or at least, "lively" only when compared to Pictures 4 and 6...


3. Sunglasses as a fashion accessory, as shown by Sam Soh "Cool"
[ One of the OLDEST XCountry puns ever =.= ]


4. A picture speaks a thousand words =)


5. o.O That position is plain weird o.O o.O o.O o.O (No offence)


6. The bus has turned so... surreal...! I can't believe almost everyone at the back of the bus was sleeping.

If anyone else has other pictures to upload, they are welcome to do so =P

By the way, special pictures of the new C-Div and B-Div Captains will be retained for a super-special blog post this weekend! Stay tuned!

On a completely different note, I believe that our current "blogskin" is under some controversy. Looks like we can expect the XCountry blog to change abit in the following months...

RANDOM FACT BEFORE ENDING THIS POST OFF: The XCountry e-group was founded in 2004, which was quite some time before our current batch of Sec 4s had joined RI!! Actually, I only realised this a few moments ago (before publishing this post, of course!), when randomly surfing through the e-group.

T4 W2 TimeTrial

Just a reminder, there will be a TIMETRIAL held this Wednesday, 17th September, at Bedok Reservoir. Remember to bring your racing gear (eg. Racers, Jersey etc) to the TimeTrial! Eat and sleep well on the day before the TimeTrial, as you're going to need the energy =).

There will be a chartered bus from RI Parade Square to Bedok Reservoir on 17th September at 1530h. Please come down on time so you don't hold up the whole team!

And while I'm still writing this post, I'd like to blame Derek for causing some members of our team to blow multiples of $1.30 on mango "milkcurd" today. =P Which includes me. =.=
But dang, that mango milkcurd was nice!!

T4 W1: Wed and Thu Training

Training on 10th September (Wednesday) will be held at RI Field, after school. It will be an easy run.

Training on 11th September (Thursday) will also be held at RI Field, at 5 pm. Please be punctual =P
