Team 27. Position 27. /14:30

RUN.

Poly 50's over.
it had been a tight race, with lots of new teams on the block & nevertheless more competition.

i'm glad our main objective was achieved: to bond we seniors & the incoming jnrs.
The team standings are 16th for team1 and 27th for team2.
Ironically, our team2 is also team27 on the list. hahas, such a small world.
We did it in 1hr31mins - 10mins better than our prev time. ;)

The down part was that i felt we could have done better, its kinda disappointing that we went back empty handed.. aft all the hard work we've put into the trainings.
oh well, maybe its just me being over-competitive.

Next up: Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009.

Semester exams are round the corner too, haiss, I shall set a deadline for play to die down aft National Day; 9th Aug.

time to chiong ccs report now.

Via Ferrata! /23:59


today was a darn good day~

well, i slept in late den woke up to eat lets see, salad for breakfast? i dunno mom made me finish the whole bowl, hahas.
Aft that went to singtel to change plan to youth plans, so theoretically i can now sms to anyone under the sun n its all free! woohoo!
Got a new phone in the process too, Nokia 6730 classic. but, its still lying in its plastic now, i m too lazy to take out to charge n i wanted a new pouch to house it first before i start leaving the scars onto it. yeah.

Aft that went out to amk to meet tai, veron & lard. had the shiok "koi" bubble tea there, n went to orchard central soon after.
i'm starting to seriously fall in love with this mall, its gives me a "calm haven" kinda feel when u enter. & the shops theme are superb, got quiznos, boulderx, etc.. & there're these little cushy arm chairs to rest urself when u're tired. =)
I bought my gold n black havainas too, nice.

& the best, was climbing the via ferrata at boulderx.
its the tallest indoor via ferrata wall in the world, n its within a shopping mall, how cool is that.


The structure is basically 4 stories high, & yup i find it a total new experience.
the climb isnt tough to say, just to grasp the understanding & there u are. totally relaxing.

the four of us made it to the top in abt half hr, which was nt bad. our instructor, zaki, was an ex-sp student too, cool!
As we finished ahead of time, he let us try the sports climbing wall nx to it.. not bad for a climb & the wall was a fairly new layout for us, so yea.
overall, it was a gd experience, well-spent money, plus its one-for-one too.
=P

i cant wait for the via ferrata at Kinabalu. the view wow, excited. (the 1st pic's at kinabalu)
our instructor told us that the via ferrata there is easier than the one in sg. so yea i'm definitely looking fwd to taking it mother nature. hehs.

"We spent so much of our lives, not saying the things we wanna say;
The things we should say;
we speak in code;
we send little messages, origami;
so now plainly,simply i want to say that i love you very much... "

That, was a nice conclusion to prison break.

I think i need to rest more + de-stress soon, darn those pimples outbreak!
Just found out that exams are in a month's time. its like so fast lah, & aft that's the long break alr.
Half a AY gone soon.

still, i've been thinking hard: wad's my nx heading aft SP? work, uni, others?
the ans is still a blank.
no passion, no drive.

i need inspiration.

Durians /23:59

Durians!

Ah-hahas, at long last i finally got to savour a taste of the king of fruits.
Sweet smell of the thorny fruit, woo.
& i ate two diff grades too, D24 & the mao shan wang.
i just learned that bitter durians are the nicer ones, so hmmm..
Maybe i should try some mangosteens nx time.
The atmosphere at highland centre was good too.

Bro was talking about overseas trip this nx holidays.
Tempted me back to the bangkok days again.
& the one distinct feature is her street food.

~ The typical thai push cart.
OMG< look at the big hot dog & the chicken steak, was like S$1 or sth.

hahas, food & more food.
Shit, ate too much nonsense this weekend alr, better go trim up!

Poly50 trainings up a notch & was pretty tiring, but running is fun, makes one forget your frustrations. Team 2 team2 team2!
today finally got chance to go PM kayak, hahas, finally got tanned a little.
learned some new stuff, n aft that went sch to do logistics & watch POTC. =)
PPCDL pract in under 2weeks, somehow i'm excited about that.

So do nx thurs, going to Istana for reception.. my 2nd visit, or rather my 1st not counting the one i had when i was an innocent boy oblivious that the field i was running ard was the president's lawn.

Harry Potter was quite alright for a show la, entertaining but too much for teenage romance, hahas.. & GV plaza kinda sucks. the seats were awfully bad, n the popcorn tastes like butter. eeyish.

hmm, ya shall sleep soon alr.

Konichiwa world.

Believe it or not, i'm in sch now. cant wait for 8am to come den i can go early for EPI gems in SHOEs.
Hahas, i'm so looking fwd to the lecturer's expression when she sees me there. ;)

Last sat's training was tough but fun.
Aft that went JP for lunch, which once again solidify my claim for jurong being the most congested town in sg.
Den aft that went to mx's hse for vegetarian steamboat, an eye-opener for me. & watching yao sheng play wii is a damn cool classic. =)

Sunday nuah-hed at home, changed bedsheet & tidy room.
grandma was superbly nice, i think she rocks cus last week i mentioned that i craved for her fried minced meat & there she did all the effort of cooking it n bringing it down.
Woots!

Today, had training again. it was in evening much cooler; dunno if its cus of the weather but i felt great!
den went home in a finely calculated precision n came back to campus in time for the last train out. hahas, sg's transport system is awesome cus its so time-based..

An article's quote i read somewhere stuck out in my head like a sore-thumb:
"are those in love, fools?... "

guess i'm afraid to try.

Last result: CCS - 59.
Yes, it is the worse. stupid B2 & B3 wrong.
damn i'm careless, i got like twice or thrice in this MST i wrote out the correct ans on the paper only to cancel it later. waa. -.-

Loves Fridays.
Went town today. watched Sunshine cleaning at cine.
3/5 star would be the review la, humor was there, but lack the X-factor.
hahas.
den it was a walkabout-de-orchard. walked the plaza sing - cathay stretch like 3 times, trying to find places to eat.
in d end settled for thai express. where i learned their erm clear tomyam wasnt tasty at all.

anw, i'm still waiting for UP to be shown in cinemas. ;)

Time to go slp soon alr. Poly50 training tml.

Hits & misses. Many miss-marks, should have been better, but still a gd piece of work done.

**
I'm in love with old songs now.
esp this by the Bee Gees.
....
[chorus]
Immortality
There is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me, inside
And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
With all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don't say, goodbye

....
love it when they start singing the word im-mor-tality..
duet with celine dion.
~ check it out, damn nice.

slow the pace. /14:24

MSTs are over now, or at least.

Post-exams activites are underway. hahas.
Went sentosa ytd. was quite disappointed as there wasnt much sun & siloso beach was closed for AYG.
Then.. the unthinkable happened, it rained.
woa, spoiler.
But anw, the day was fun in the sand, & sean's camera..
the nite was too. =) catching in taka..

It rained the whole day ytd, up til this morning.
would have been great if i could sleep in today, but too bad school starts at 9.
hais.
anw got back 1st paper PED got 76.
Aint the best result, lotsa of careless mistakes.
But still I'm happy, it like one of the very rare papers in poly that i ever see a '7' in the tens digit.
* congrats chow
Tml's PGT paper, & i certainly do not wish to suffer a deep shock when i get back my control modules.

Having PGT lab now, lecturer not doing much, letting us explore the prog, hopefully this coming labtest i dun "chua-sai" again.

A few days ago, i was waiting for bus at my hse's bus stop. saw this trio of old ladies with graying hair dressed prettily, they were laughing & chatting, even going about the habit of dusting the seats for one another.
The feeling i felt when i saw that was: warm & hearty.
I wonder would I have these life-long friends..

Slow down the pace of life.
~C'mon lets go for a trip..

PS: its raining again. global warming is really serious

you are not alone /23:55

there are times when I ask myself..
"why?.. :"

I always thot of myself as a fast learner, but time do tells, turns i'm not..
Dreads it.
simple steps, years to understand.
no comm btwn brain n body.

MST started as yes it is day1.
H1N1 had sky rocketed thru the roof, 701 as of today, yet.. sch's still open for business.
PED paper was okie.
Today's S & C.. well, "screwed"'s the word.
lose close to 20 marks.. hais.
tml's CCS. not too high expectations on it, but pls, may it be easy & well.

...
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
....
