embrace my fragility

at the same time, climbing quite often most of the time. :p
competitions are coming, must cease the moment and climb everyday. lol.

anyways, met up with my dearest nat for lunch today. :)
its been a few months since we last met... (and probably a few years since us both saw jaz too. :p)
had lunch at this nice angel cafe beside spotlight.
(remember we went there for tea once? shu melly rae)
good catch up session! haha.
and brainstorming abt wedding ideas too.

polaroid! and the hugs & kisses trinklet we bought..




ta-dah! had to take this. haha. ;) the woman with the ring. awww.


so well, im taking a break from climbing until this weekend, whereby Pumpfest is gonna be at Milennia Walk and i'll be climbing on saturday morning.
ytd was an intense uncontrollable whacking of gorgeous routes at Onsight Climbing.
haha. the tiles are pretty rough this time, walls smoother.
i like the super open space other there. :)
me and liting was like saying that they shd hold those boulder comps there.
got grandstand and everything. pretty awesome!
just like those overseas comps! :)

photo take from chew! yep. vast open space to watch and fall? haha. there are more walls behind even.

SEACF circuit update:

took a bus on friday night up to Nilai where we stayed in Allson Hotel.
reached at around 2am. :p me and fel just concussed on the bed. haha.

first day was lead qualifiers first.
din do too badly.. first time i went quite high up in the route. feeling good about it.
alas the indonesians really kicked our ass and owned us like nobodys business.
haha. anyways, it was rules to have 26 semi-finalist.. since there were only 20 girls, we all went thru! hahaha.

semi-finals was abit more inclined, got abit of fright on my first few clips,
but it was smooth throughout until near the second mini roof when i pumped out. :p pfft.
once again, feeling pretty good coz i went quite high up again.
and once again, the indons are really making their mark and topping the routes one after the other.
given some special rule system, maximum of 3 from each country can go into the finals.
so yep, i wasnt in the finals. haha.

oh oh! before my lead semis, was my speed qualifiers (tiring day huh).
it was nerve wrecking just trying not to get my palms too sweaty thinking abt the adrenaline and stuff. :p
the indonesians are really whipping us man.
the wall sequence was very different, less laddering.
so i really din know how to "read" the sequence and imagine my body to follow (having been speeding only at CA).
gan cheong spider sia.
but well.. when the time came, my qualifiers for speed came and went quickly.
everyone tells me i din do too badly. that i got 10th overall (out of 18? :p hmm)
but i dont know.. i did wish i had more trng to learn this technique properly.
anyways, because of the special ruling, the 3 of us (binbin chloe and me) got into the finals.
yep, was pretty psyched at given a second chance. plus feeling happy to about my lead climbs. haha.

second day, had 2 bowls of kokokrunch, toast and 3 samosas for breakfast. woohoo.
PLUS, i had a bottle of vanilla coke. :)

my speed finals was abit draggy.. coz the panel of judges were kinda new? yea.
was up against salfarina who just finished her lead finals climb.
scary. :p
looking back at my videos, she and i were quite tight one the first climb, but my lousy sequence made me lag behind. :p
second climb was tiring and my foot kept slipping. really horrible footwork. yucks.
sadly the 3 of us were knocked out without a doubt. :p

overall, i think this comp was a good experience. :)
glad yixiong was there too, friendly face to have around. aww.
suz and adriel got 3rd for lead and speed respectively.
but most imba would be jay who beat the indons and got 1st!
yeps. shows that singapore still has it in her somewhere.
but maybe only after pushing the standards for 10 years? :p heh.)
now, i have 2 friends who are no.1! haha. (jay & fel)

pretty cool huh.

congrats all!
