lessons ended at twelve today for the school to prepare for the 30th anniversary tmr which didn't exactly benefit me much seeing that i dismiss at 12.30 anyway.
coming to the issue of the 30th anniversary, anyone wanna have a guess at how much the school has spent on it after seeing all the new stuff we got recently and the stuff for the carnival tmr?
now we know why all the problems with the budget occurred at the start of the year when so many ccas have their funding cut.
let's see... all the supposedly heritage stuff outside lt4 and the general office that they redid dunno how many times, the two useless huge flat screen tv in the canteen, the art gallery and those carnival items for tmr?
ah, well. i guess all schools are like that. xinmin did the same thing for it's 60th anniversary too. if anything, it was even more over as we ended up with totally new tables and chairs for the canteen and bar top tables?
anyway, after we were dismissed today, we went to celebrate jiabing's birthday! the lucky guy had 3 bday celebration planned for him and he had to blow out the candles for 3 cakes lol...
wouldn't wanna be him though, after seeing what we all did to him. shall not elaborate on the details here since it's way too gross lol
let's just say that when he got up and tried to run after us, every single one of us ran for our lives, even the j1 guys who were just watching. :X
went to mahjong after that.
i think i would be much richer then i am now if i didn't learn to gamble in my life lol...
you can guess if i won or lost.
oh well, i guess i just gotta stop gambling when i dun have alot of spare cash.
what wouldn't i give to feel less confused and more sure...
gah... my legs feel busted after all the running i have done and i am nowhere even near done yet?
it's crazy, are we like training for a marathon?
i wish i could read minds...
how important can one person be to you?
last time i checked, very.
hmm... it seems like i am either packed to the brim or become totally free.
sat was a super long day, but a really enjoyable one at that!
started off with a tougher training then usual with a run to the third bridge and then power training before some of the people left for school for the 30th anniversary while me and some of the other guys went to eat first before i met up with vic for dessert!
doesn't seem like there is alot of nice places for dessert in bugis junction so we went to swensens. had banana crumble there which was quite nice but the taste was too strong to finish the whole thing without feeling a little sick of it near the end.
still, we had a nice time chatting!
then we went to the national library for a while before i went off for kenneth's birthday party while vic went off for tuition. met at yishun and since i was early, i visited northpoint for a while since i haven't been there before. hmm... it's kinda small and not very interesting but i supposed most malls are liddat. they are kinda getting too generic.
after we got to the bbq site, which was a nice place on a bridge beside a sea?river?reservoir?, which one it is i have no idea but the only thing i know was that my phone suddenly connected to the malaysian phone network which is like weird cos i dun think that yishun is that near to malaysia?
anyway, kenneth have several very interesting cousins that greatly amused us and the food was really great! it actually had good tasting bbq food that wasn't burnt or undercooked, a common occurance at most bbq. nice birthday party!
then we went back to hougang and met up with ben heng and kobe for a catch up session that lasted till 3+am. we really talked about everything under the sun and had a nice time chatting and discussing certain matters. was really tired from the many activities throughout the day though so i was like falling asleep and then left.
while there was nothing going on today at all.
the weekend was really great though! it's much better to be busy doing the things you enjoy rather then being able to slack but not doing anything at all.
now all i need is to be certain of myself, wait for the right time and pick up the courage.
if i have ever needed luck on my side, it would be now.
oh man... i seriously can't get what is going on...
can someone point me in the right direction?
either way, the week past again without much incident apart from the gay clearing of the logsheet.
i think i have already ran more this week then any other week in my life and i still got 5km to run tmr and an addition 8km that i have to find sometime to complete this weekend.
which makes a grand total of 29km.
crazy i tell you... not like we are training for marathon run so much for what sia...
this plus some of the other stuff i have gotta do to clear the logsheet for this week and the debts i own for egometer is like killing me.
and this is gonna go on everyweek till it's over?
oh. my. god.
i am gonna be dreading mondays cos that's when it all have to start all over again.
kinda interesting to find out that running from school to velocity isn't that far after all, only about 8km+. though the up slopes kinda killed any interest that i might have for doing it again.
oh well, just have to bear with it and do my best for two more months before it's over!
i think i am gonna feel super empty after it's gone...
wth. i feel like i am being accused or something...
i just mentioned something i heard to hj once and didn't make any further attempts to talk about it anymore and then now it seems like i am a gossip monger? heck, i speak like less then 1000 words a day when most people speak what, 5000?
spare me man...sheri, your fault la!
oh yeah, here is something interesting that i read about in the papers last week that i keep forgetting to blog about.
apparently, it seems like humans cannot focus properly both audio and visual at the same time so they said that using powerpoint to teach was a bad method since the audience have to both pay attention to the screen and the speaker at the same time?
doesn't that ring a bell with anyone?
like isn't that what the lecturers are doing?
hmm... maybe i will try to just focus on one next time and see if it works any better
the weeks seem to fly by so fast now that i can't even recall what i have been doing!!!
been slacking around alot and started to play yet another online game which is so similar to all those that i have played before that i am growing bored of already.
lucky for that, or else my studies are gonna go down the drain again.
saturday was homecoming day for xinmin but i didn't go this time round.
actually i had already packed everything and had already opened the door before i suddenly have the feeling that i was forgetting something.
realised that it seems like no one else was going so early so i made a few phone calls.
i was right. everyone else is going at 2 when if i go, i have to leave the sch at 1+ for training.
so even if i go, i wouldn't be able to meet anyone and thus didn't go in the end...
ah well.
the weather that day was super screwed up though. it rained while we were running, blazed when we were getting onto the boat and rained again, allowing us to see a huge, full rainbow while in the boat. then it stopped again before deciding to pour after we got out of the boat.
-_-''...
oh well, luckily, no one fell sick from it so it was alright.
oh yeah! i think we provided some entertainment for those tourist near the merlion cos we rowed under it and got drenched by its fountain. and for the record, the water sprouting from it is super salty.
went to meet up with the e4 ppl after that at fish & co. my first time there and to be honest, my first time eating real fish and chips.
fish was never too high on my to-eat list so i never tried it before. it wasn't too bad, though the meat was kinda tasteless if you ask me.
gotta try and eat all those stuff that i have never try before! spare me the veg though.
Edit: after printing the stuff for tmr, i have come to the conclusion that jc kills trees faster then anything else. what's with all the stuff we have to print and the crazy amount of notes that we have -_-''... heck, i think i have given up hope on keeping my notes in a reasonable state anymore.
i think there's a conspiracy between jcs and paper and ink companies.
wohoo!
i feel so free now that so much stuff is over!
yesterday was a super busy day! econs test, napfa test, the project presentation and initiation!
napfa test was kinda stupid, seeing that i was running 2.4 with a blocked nose and had to breathe through my mouth, horrible feeling if you ever tried. kinda slow timing and got a B... -_-''... unacceptable sia...
and i had to finish the entire test in half an hour cos everyone was talking and discussing for half an hour before starting.
one good thing came out of it though, my nose block was totally cleared after the napfa test!
ahhh.... brilliant air!
the presentation went quite well i think, still, it's highly unlikely that we will reach the finals and i don't wanna get through anyway cos i have enough of the project. it's over and done with!
then it was the j1 initiation!
remembering how horrible it was for us last year, most of the seniors didn't really have the heart to scold them after seeing how hard they are trying and how tired they are and most of the people who are supposed to be scolding ppl ended up encouraging them instead lol...
initiation's just a horrible process but the feeling of going through it is really great!
and that's the super condensed version of a very interesting day yesterday. gotta keep it short cos i wanna go to sleep le.
life is great now!
woah! been a while since i can find time to blog.
seems that the work is really starting to pile up and they are resisting my attempts to clear them by calling in more of their friends when i am done with them -_-''...
at least i will be rid of a major annoyance tomorrow! the stupid weather study project gonna be done and over with after the presentation tmr!
heck, i am even hoping that we dun get through the round so we don't have to present again to the finals judges even though the prizes are so attractive.
not like we can win it anyway with our 2 weeks old project lol.
life's good again!
now... if only i can like recover, everything would be great. this illness is kinda feeling draggy... it's already been over a week?
woah... this is like the first time ever that i have ever played four rounds of mahjong straight. close to almost 12 hrs of it. kinda having a migraine now...
not exactly the best medicine i guess but i dun really feel like staying at home for good friday.
not a bad way to spend it i guess.
recover already damn it...
sigh... my illness just seems to be getting worse and worse?
i supposed that it has to get worse before it gets better but i hate being sick because when i am sick, i go into depression mode where i doubt everything and everything seems to sucks, mainly because i feel so useless since i can't do anything when i am sick.
and i am deprived of all the nice food that can boost my serotonin levels.
so i was like sitting around like a bum just now when everyone was training and all i could do was help out abit and stare.
ya, i know i am crazy about training so you don't have to tell me something i already know.
weird thing is that i sometimes don't feel like training when i can but whenever i am sick, i badly want to recover and train.
kinda stupid actually.
sigh...
please just tell me that it's me being stupid...
having lessons with a runny nose is horrible, especially when you very badly need to clear your nose but are in a lecture theater with so many ppl around and any wrong move or sound will have you wanting to dig a hole in the ground and burying yourself.
seems like i didn't managed to skip the sore throat and the flu part after all, they just changed the order in which they come.
it's gonna be a long long week....
especially since it's like becoming clearer and clearer that i have been thinking too much YET again and it's pretty obvious that it's not what i thought it was...
i think i am starting to resign to fate, seeing that what i am feeling now is just a feeling of being lost and sorta a " to hell with the world" kinda stuff.
am i like becoming emotionless?
just what in the world is the right thing to do?
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
but it seems like it's never enough. or that it isn't even the correct thing to do in the first place.
i have no idea what's going on anymore.
should i just give up?
should i learn to let go?
i guess life is never a bed of roses.
but do i have to keep just being pricked by the thorns,
with the roses forever staying out of reach?
nothing i do seems to ever matter.
did i ever mattered in the first place?
everytime you and i connect with each other,
a little bit of heart is born between us.
heart isn't something inside you,
but whenever you think.
whenever you remember someone,
that's when heart is born.
can i be heartless instead?
i guess it doesn't matter anymore, does it?
i can only hope that i am thinking way, WAY too much.
zzz... this is the second time this year that i fell sick on a monday and skipped the last two lessons.
it really isn't a good idea to push yourself in training when you are sick and i did that and resulted in a fever.
gah.
on another note, my sickness seems to be alot more compacted now.
in the pass, it will always be flu first then sore throat followed by cough then fever, over the span of like 4-5 days.
however, now it has compacted into one day, going straight from flu to fever.
might be good as well, so i have to suffer for less days.
i hate being sick -_-''...
another interesting weekend!
hmm... i really do seem to be living for the weekend nowadays.
went out with vic on fri!
i suddenly realise how much of a mountain tortoise i am, because there's so many things that i haven't tried before or visited.
take for example of fri, it was my first time to jurong point and my first time having an actual meal inside delifrance. heck, i didn't even know that delifrance serves proper food, though it only has like snacks and bread.
and as i walked around the mall, i see so many different food places that i haven't tried before!
well, i think it was mainly a lack of company that deterred me from trying out the food at those places. it's not exactly very likely that you will go to all those restaurant with a large group of friends...
anyway, back to the topic, just being with vic is just so relaxing and fun! hopefully will get to meet her like once a week or something. going to clark quay next!
then there's today which was the school's sports carnival.
realised that being in charge isn't much fun though, if anything goes wrong, you are the one that gets scolded. and even when you try to ensure that everything goes smoothly, it always doesn't cos of external factors like others being late and resulting in the stuff not being ready and it becomes your fault even when you reached like 30 minutes before time?
luckily it only occurred at the start and at the end though, the rest of the parts were pretty smooth sailing and i basically had nothing to do after the early morning rush to set up everything.
sometimes miscommunication is nobody's fault but i think it is often hard for either party to admit that they were wrong so i think that when there was a miscommunication that result in the teacher's race cocking up, it was a good move by mr lee to not pursue the matter.
man... can't we like have a 4 day study week and a 3 day weekend?
oh well, it's not gonna happen so i might as well forget about it.
