Nonetheless, I loved being in the team. Firstly because of the girls and the fun fun times we had together. All the silly named clubs - Loser Club (Nita and I couldn't do pull-ups) and Cripple Club (Reg and I were/are injured) and the goofy things that we did to forget that a. training is hardd! and b. we're weak!! Secondly because of the structure and discipline of the training (especially the last two years, hell! especially the last). Structure! Discipline! I love! Thirdly, because let's be honest ... once you pack all your things in one big black suitcase (and some shoes in Marian's one as well, ahem!) and you move to the other side of the world, chances are you won't get to know and befriend that many people*.
* and you will lose all your friends back home. One amazing realization of my first year in the team was that the team people had other non-climbing friends in Singapore and I was wondering how could that be?! until I realized that they had been living here for their entire life :))

CLAUD! your post is so bittersweet..in some place deep in me, i'm gg to miss you kicking my ass and glaring at me when i cun do smthg that EVEN you can do.. WAIT!!! you're gg to be ard for another year! haha.. anyway,they better hold the team dinner when you ARE in singapore.. *hint hint to jensen*.. haha, i love your last few lines. yes dear, we live here you know. but dun worry, when all your singapore/m'sian frens have enough moolah, the FIRST person we'll think of is YOU.. in some place in france.. haha. now for some random chinese line: do not bother about having it forever, just bother that you had it before
when are you coming back claud? There's no time to hold a team dinner before the exams.
I think you've been a wonderful teammate, a dream to work with. Cooperative (not counting trying to climb while injured), willing to push others, zero whining (not counting whining while doing ARC during recuperation period) and a good climber too! And you're no wuss la. No one likes goodbyes, unless the time spent in the team was horrible.
Am coming back on the 25th of May so feel free to have that dinner while I'm gone, ahem. Funny I was thinking about the climbing while injured and your scowls and how to imitate them next time! Your scowl is REALLY GOOD!! And san, you can come one at a time also! No need for you ALL to come at once :)) (where to house everybody?) YAY!
I'd like to sit with you on a plane (even if it's budget) for once! heehee. :) and your very tough side during trainings made us push ourselves further (even if it means doing 10 pushups). :)
I'll really miss you too!
I don't know whether to feel offended or feel good about your "compliment". But rest assured, the team dinner will be held when everyone can make it. Which includes you. You better get your ass to the dinner, Claudia! *Scowl*
(psst. we can go eat crab when claudia comes back coz the weather will be rainy then)
haha.. yeah! we have team dinner WHEN claud is ard! claud.. i can sleep in YOUR house.. the guys can camp outside or smthg! haha
