Gravical was last friday and I don't really know how I should feel about it. The girls' event was in the morning so everyone went early first. It was at Vivo so I had to wake up a bit earlier, but ended up reaching a bit earlier. Most of them were already there though, so it wasn't that bad. There wasn't really a lot of girls in the category so most of our girls team went in one detail, if I remember correctly. Joey and Sarah did really really well, and most of the rest did good also. Haha I remember telling Sarah before she start to give chance to everyone else and not flash every route, and do that for 5 out of 6 instead. Land up when she went for her round, she flashed 4, and almost had the 5th one, but they didn't count it cos she crossed the black boundary tape. And she did manage to finish all the problems in the end. Joey topped 3 and bonus-ed I think one more. She got 9th overall in the qualifiers, but still got in cos one of the ppl who finished top 8 was an Inter already. So yay for her :D Had lunch with the rest after that while waiting for our own event to start. I was in detail 4, so I had to wait about an hour from the start of my category before it was my turn to climb. Was actually pretty nervous but also psyched up before I had to go. Barny and Aniq were there again too, and Barny said the routes were hard but I actually didn't think much of it. Here comes the frustrating part. So it's my turn to climb, and I start on route 2. It's the easiest one and I can't even get the damn bonus tile. I'm so fucking stubborn that I don't see how people like Vincent step on the volume and thus learn nothing from it. So so so so so stupidly planned during this competition. The first route, shd have bonus-ed it too, but I refused to deviate from my own beta which WAS NOT WORKING. The rest of the routes I can honestly say I simply had not enough power. Route 3 might have been possible, but maybe only after a while, and if I wasn't so pumped. On the bright side, I took it that I was at least putting everything into making each effort count. Left the wall feeling really really disappointed, but still stayed back a while to cheer on the rest in the detail after me. Was a bit more demoralising after seeing and realising everyone was doing better than me. Haziq, Matthias and Jovan all topped one route. Vincent and Gabriel did super well as usual. Not sure how anyone else did, but they all got at least 1 bonus, with the exception of Boh also. Didn't help that Coach asked Boh "What happened" but not me, I think he expected me to not do well anyway lol. Then again, my bouldering has always been pretty weak, so I'm kinda looking forward to NSSCC, cos we'll be leading then. Gravical hasn't exactly been a morale booster also, so I'm still feeling a bit apprehensive about lead training, but I'll still try my best.
While waiting for results to come out, Haziq had the brilliant idea to start running people through the fountain thing outside Vivo and beside the venue. So here I am laughing at everyone getting wet, and then I get thrown in with the rest lol. After a bit, everyone is just soaking wet and having retarded fun, but fun nonetheless. Even the girls kena after all the guys got run through hahaha. Only Sarah escaped cos she had finals, and You Jing ran into the shopping centre itself lol so we didn't go to find her. Spent like an hour and a half just playing around in the water. Jovan got dunked in the most and it was fucking hilarious each time. We even played the MRT game which brought back memories of Air Cohesion in 2013. And midway through if Jovan was too slow to respond Haziq would just scream "TOO SLOW" then carry him off again LOL. Oh man that was honestly the best night of my life so far. I can't really explain it well here, but it was. I felt genuinely HAPPY. And it wasn't a form of escape like being in HQ and slacking/playing, but actually having fun with people that I cared about. And it was there and then that I realised that yes, I do care about them, and maybe there's something worth doing after all :)
I feel like ending my post here, because right now I'm actually feeling better after writing that last paragraph. So yes.
I need pets
Good Night
Hey, sister, do you still believe in love I wonder?
