Thai 205!
Volunteering for AYG has been an eye-opener so far.
I realized that:
1) Jap girls are not that chio. Seriously, they are not very palatable(or at least the bowling ones). But got action cute cute one, and that's about it. No wait, that's it.
2) Thai and Taiwan girls are cute. Especially number 205 from Thailand and 195 from Taiwan.
Miss 205 was asked by Mr. Chua for a picture, and she spontaneously put up her fingers in a victory sign, and shied away from the camera for awhile before smiling meekly. That scene was not boner-inducing, probably because I um find that a cute action and not a wank-action, but she was damn cute. I really want to meet her again. Her mother was around though =.=
I want her email address! I want to get to know her. I want to tell her that it's ok even if she loses in the tournament. I want to tell her that I'd be whatever she needs whenever she needs whenever I can.
But I can't because:
2.1) I don't know her at all. She's Thai, and I'm Singaporean.
2.2) Long-distance relationships are not realistic.
2.3) I can't speak Thai in the first place.
So I guess I could AT MOST settle for an email address, and I can see that she'd probably get a lot of requests for that because she's cute and friendly. Which means a no-go for me =\
I hope to see her again later, because even if I can't help her in what she's doing, at least I could be there for her giving her my moral/emotional/spiritual support.
Let's not talk so much about the Taiwan girl, I didn't really get to observe her.
3) Make-up is disgusting. We all had to put that on, and I felt like I've lost one of my two family jewels. It is disgusting, the mere thought of having to put foreign object on my face. It made my balls shrink, but it didn't stop one of them from dropping. This is a huge damage to my manliness. But as they say,
大丈夫能
屈能
伸So I guess I just had to suffer with that humiliation =\
But still..
4) This point should be brought across with subtlety. If you don't get a medal, you'd probably sulk and stuff like that, because you worked hard, you did your best, but you didn't get what you think you deserved. That's why you go around sulking, or at least, you aren't in the best of moods. Which is why I cannot understand why she didn't smile. She was just sitting there, with a glum face, stoning around with a disinterested air, as if she didn't give a fuck about getting a medal.
Compare and contrast with the Thai team: The coach cheers his people on even when they miss a spare, which is critical in such bowling competitions(duh). There's always a ritual thingy, clapping and slapping each others' hands, thanking people, even if they do not strike. It's like every throw, every result, is a surprise. They do not have such high expectations of themselves that a gold medal is a must, and that getting it should not be celebrated, because they were supposed to get it in the first place. <--I realized that that sentence could be quite confusing. Read as 'They don't that way'.
Which is why they are always happy for themselves no matter what they get, or at least they appear that way which makes me think that they are. Which isn't a bad thing at all. There's something about humility that makes it desired, and although I can't quite put a finger on why this human attribute is much-celebrated, I appreciate it.
Which is why I can safely say that I support the Thai bowling team. They just seem so bonded and stuff like that. Really nice. I simply enjoy watching them bowl. Maybe because of 205 =.=
Seriously, if you don't appreciate your medal because 'It's just another medal', go away.
