From Korat!

Hey Ladies!

I finally find a chance to send this post.

We had arrived at the Athletes Village on Tuesday. It is a long ride.

The excitment started early in the morning at the airport where we were greated by Wantoks supporters!

Jo and Mui made it down early in the morning and then they had to rush off for their long journy back to work. It was so cool to have the MOST number of supporters. Hahaha. Thanks dear!

In the plane, we were given High Carbo meals and we were envious of the rest of the passengers as they have the choice of chicken rice or Nasi Lemak!!!!

Once in Bangkok, we can feel the Sea Games atmosphere as we were given flowers and then escorted to Korat by police! The journey was good, not as bad as we thought.

We were excited to see our rooms and though it was just 3 beds with locker cupboard and a study desk.. but it was so cool because this place is built just for us! Also all the Singapore contingent stays close to each other so it was good to see our people gearing up for the big event.

Everywhere we had access to fridge filled with Coke, water and Milo. Oh, the canteen had free flow of ice cream too! The dining place is big and all athletes are at the same place so we get to see some sports superstars!

We have good medical support and have ice bath after training. Every morning we have to send our urine samples for testing. I failed twice....not drugs lah... its dehydration! Jo's pee is as clear as water!

The security is very strict here and we have our bags scanned each time we are out of our stay area. All trainings are escorted by police and to high security venue. WAHHHH.

We have morning runs and afternoon trainings. Free time we play shithead or get a rub down.
The weather here is VERY hot. At night it is cold though.

The opening ceremony is very fun. Ok..not the wait... we waited 2 hours (standing) wearing our jackets and tight pants. When we get to the march past, wah..i almost cried when I saw the some Singapore Ministers waving in the crowd.
Oh for those who saw the opening ceremony... WE WERE ON TV!!!!

Tomorrow, is the start of our tournament. We will be playing Laos and Thailand at about 1pm.
We are excited and very ready.

Jojo, Has and I are very well. Thank you for all the well wishes.

We'll do our best and hope to bring back good news.

Meanwhile, take care and MISS us!
