My Buddy, Daphne

Miss me??? Quite a few days without blogging....busy ma...heehee

okie, time for a Short entry maybe??

Anyway, when I was looking for that old pic of me and daphne at IHG track, I found my other old old pics too...

So I shall blog on them!!!

Did I mentioned tat I LOVE pics???

YES I DO!!! Tat's why I'm the unPRO-photographer for Morpheous (dunno if I spell correctly or not), SME/SCE FOC 03 and Archilles, SME/SCE FOC 04.

Met Daphne during marathon and I really miss her so much! So I shall blog about...

My Hall 7 Roomie Daphne!!!

Right... of course I shall start with her.

Okie, in my year one, I got to know Daphne through biathlon. Guess she's the only other new ger in the team and I sorta keep chatting with her... she's nice... and very tall

Somehow we became quite close friends and then when her roomie is moving out of hall, we became roomies. she remind me alot of mable, a very dear friend of mine too. Daphne is always very encouraging and has her own opinions on things and is not afraid to voice them out. It's her honesty and sincerity that drew me to her...and of course her crappiness!!

She's always the one who's so excited about trainings... while I always have to drag myself to training but it's always nice to train with daphne. Back in my year one and year two days, she'll always drag me go for all kind of races, NUS biathlon, X campus Run, Surf and Sweat, Vertical Marathon, NIE biathlon etc etc... I always enjoyed those with her...

Okie KoDak Moments!!

First NUS Biathlon 2003...







Daphne took part in two races, one individual event and one team relay with ricky. See her two number tags??? L22 and T17? She's bian tai!! haha... I only took part in the relay with Jonathon as the swimmer (ricky's friend)...ps/ now I can get my bf to swim for me and I run??.... at that time I still wasnt sure of my swimming skill and had never swim in the sea before so scare loh....so only took part in relay.

Then one year later at NUS Biathlon 2004

Before our race Evelyn, Daphne and Me
heehee, this year I finally can take up one biathlon by myself le...wont drown in sea... cuz I joined Lifeguard too...but havent take course yet but since I made some lifeguard friends, should have priority rite??...heehee...


Charity Swim Training @ NUS
There's this charity swim a few years back. The swimmers are to raise money and swim 10km from bedok jetty to esplanade. Daphne pulled me along and I went but I didnt manage to raise enough money to swim... bleah, I'm not a good fund raiser ~_~ ... but I did tagged along a few times to the swimming trainings at NUS and East Coast (Eww, East Coast is DEFINITELY not a nice place to swim...Sentosa is Tons better!) Guess it was an eye opener for Daphne ba, it's not easy to swim 10km especially for Daphne who juz picked up swimming (me too!! both of us are more land animals...)


NIE Biathlon 2003
This is my first NIE Biathlon... Think Ruoying was first in NTU Closed then Me then Daphne. Heehee... We're all Winners!!! Yeah!!
Anyway, Daphne got to know Liow and Dr Wong through the Charity Swim. Dr Wong is a very strong swimmer and it didnt stopped him to try doing the full biathlon (running and swimming) with partial vision. Liow's like a big teddy bear!! heehee, and very sweet too! Daphne told me that he proposed to his gf (wife now) after finishing his Ironman!!

Then we became roomies and played IHG (inter-hall games) together

Swimming




Road Relay


Track




Though I only stayed in hall for one semester but it was quite fun staying with daphne. She was the one who taught me how to use the washing machine =P .... we sleep like pigs, waking up late for our IBG road relays... the late night runs tat I was "conned" to run with daphne, suppose to be 6km, and then turned out to be 12km... morning swims when both of us overslept...

Daphne got her unique way of getting rid of insects in our room and cats.... Cat's not allowed in the room when daphne is in, but sometimes I will bring cat in when she's not around...heehee

Was very sad when she told me that he is leaving NTU but I think she's much happier studying a course the she is interested in... It was really great meeting her again during this year's marathon...
oh, forgot to mentioned tat she was the culprit that got me in my first marathon... we were both staying in hall at that time... then she will msn me the breakdown timing of a marathon etc... keep telling me wat pace we do we can finish at wat time etc...then I signed up...and then somehow her application didnt get thru so I was to do it alone!! I was so scared...cuz I didnt train at all...in fact I havent been running at all... but she's nice, she went with me tat day and did half of the marathon with me... she decided to stop at half marathon cuz she's nursing an injury... this year she did hers and did very well finish in abt 5hrs! So Proud of her!! I shall run more consistently so I can keep up with her on the next marathon.

Thanx for being such a great Buddy!!
