Well, here I am, back from Penang. It's good to be home. But I had so much fun there, I miss the place.
We stayed in a service apartment, my first time and everyone else's I suspect. And so, because we got so few apartments and such a large area, we had to fit 4 people in our apartment. So, I roomed with Cheng Xun, Nicholas and Serjin. At first, I only had to room with Cheng Xun and Nic, but when the officials discovered they didn't have their own room, they had to take one of them for them selves, and Ser Jin moved in with us. Ser Jin's reaction to us rooming with Nicholas was very funny. We were trying to decide who should take the room keys, as we only had 2, so we decided to give one to me and Nic. And Ser Jin overheard us and said,"Hahahaha, good luck, with Nicholas, you either get locked in or locked out." Ouch. Hahaha.
But anyway, it was really fun rooming with Ser Jin. We had all the comics, so we spent most of our first day in the room reading. Then, I taught them to play poker, and we bought ALL the fox sweets in the vending machine down stairs to use as chips. I got a full house for my last hand, and I won everything. The expressions on the other guys faces was hilarious.
The trip was really fun, cause originally, we were supposed to have heats in the morning and finals in the afternoon, but only three countries sent swimmers, so with each country only allowed 2 swimmers per event, it was all straight finals. So, our mornings were completely free and we soent them playing poker mostly. Hahahaha...It was also really good, cause we could wake up anytime, unlike most meets.
The food was kinda monotonous, so that wasn't so good. But we bought most of our breakfasts from the supermarket... no, wait, HYPERmarket next door. The signs said HYPERmarket, so SerJin and I thought it was really funny, so we got into a habit of calling it the HYPERmarket, emphasis on HYPER.
Our meet got pushed back a day for some reason, so instead of having our farewell dinner on Friday, they agreed to have one on Thursday specially for us. But our manager, M.C. Wong, told them we would do a second item. So, we rushed a second one, and it turned out horribly. Sheesh, and everyone also got very worked up over it, cause no one could agree on an item, but that's what happens when you have to think of one 3 hours beforehand. I don't know why they waited so long.
We also went to Gurney Drive to eat the food there, which was absolutely fantastic. Some of the guys went there and ate at MacDonalds though, don't know why they were so strange. And the officials gave us the choice of going there too.
I'm also very happy that we won the 4 X 100 Free relay, the last event. And becuase of that, we won the Championship cup. Yay! Heh... We also broke the Under-17 record. Hee hee, drama...
Finally, when I came back, my Bro and my cousin, Dennis was waiting for me with a big sign saying "THUM BINGMING FAN CLUB!" and a really cool cheer. Haha, you can check it out on his blog :P That was really, really funny :D
Meanwhile, I finally got around to taking a test my bro told me to take...
