Introducing the latest addition to my growing family of photo-taking gadgets-
The SNOWCAT VERSION of the DIANA F+

[ SNOWCAT ] is a cute cartoon journal by a Korean illustrator. I have no idea what the captions in the comic mean because it's in Korean, but the simple yet adorable cat design was enough to convince me to buy it on this plastic baby I've been putting off for yoinks because "it's a WANT, not a necessity".
I finally gave in to the itch after [ Jerry ] got the Colette version, and [ Daph ] got the mini.

I totally had an angel/devil conversation going on in my head yesterday morning, when I was watching Eddie train the Singaporean girls.
The catfight between the one with the fluffy halo and the one with the pitchfork went something like this:
HALO: *smiling sweetly* Sighh. Look at that. Eddie is such a fantastic coach. You're the luckiest girl in the world... You've got a wonderful boyfriend who's puts in so much time and effort into something he's not obliged to do, yet willingly helps out just because he can... and you've got wonderful girlfriends who are taking up a sport you love, so you don't have to play alone anymore! Life can't be any better than this, can it? *angelic beams*
HORNS: MOVE BEEYATCH *shoves Miss Halo away and yells into Jody's ear* HELLO ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEH?!! Your BOYFRIEND is coaching YOUR OPPONENTS. See how good they're getting!! Yes, you should be worried. What the hell were you thinking, helping recruit players for the enemy and asking your boyfriend to help train them? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??!! You're asking to get trashed, that's what it is. You have the power to tell Eddie to stop training them before it's too...

*Jody promptly flicks the little Devil away, picks up the poor Angel and places her back on shoulder*
See, this is why I didn't want to participate in the ASEAN Games in the first place. I don't like being competitive; I just want to play for fun! I used to get serious performance anxiety during Karate days because I just CANNOT bring myself to compete against friends.
But since [ Alia ] and [ Yasmin ] have left the team (graduated and gone back to Malaysia), we were already short of players, and with more of our good players being injured or away for the holidays, Hajar was having a hard time looking for new substitutes so it wouldn't be fair if I said I didn't want to play when I was totally available.

Nevertheless, with the ASEAN opening ceremony coming up this Sunday, I'm totally looking forward to it now, regardless of who wins or loses. Hey it's just a game after all, and at the end of the day, it's the learning experience and the exposure that counts :)
