That's what I need to do. GAHSZ. Haven't really been going out ever since school started. To shop, to have fun and to meet up with old friends. ):

Everyday when I come home from school, I shower and then I just plonk onto my bed until night falls. And when it comes to bedtime, I can't get to sleep. It's like a vicious cycle that I can't change. In the day I just feel super sleepy and hard to stay awake.

Actually, there's not much of school work to mug for now. Probably just the stupid creation of pamphlet that takes up a lot of time. Besides that, there's really nothing much to read/do/mug for, or am I just ignorant of what there is to do? That better not be the case, if not I'm so dead. I must stop being so lost all the time, dangs.

Other than school work, I'm probably going to be quite busy this sem now that I've joined YEP again. Isn't this awesome? Once again, I find myself getting involved in this after a tough decision making session which lasted 2 days. I'm sure whatever decision I've made, I'm not going to regret it! At least I won't make myself regret it. I'm q certain it'll turn out just as fun as the previous project :D This project is called "Big hands Bigger heart 5". As you can see, this project is into it's 5th year. This time it's under NVAC - NUSSU volunteer Action Comm. We're going to Phillippines to do food distribution and most likely some educating of the kids. Phillippines, here I come! :DD WAHAHA. First meeting was last Saturday.

This week will be q busy with the beginnings of meetings, celebratory dinners X2 and meet ups. Probably some life in there.

TOMORROW IS A LONG LONG DAY. BUT I'VE GOTTA FEELIN' IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD GOOD DAY.

Making a decision to do something new usually involves giving up something else. That's what makes it hard—there's a loss to deal with as well as the uncertainty of the future.


p.s: Incoherent post. Whatever.

School seems to be draining away all of my energy.

I've been sleeping a lot. Like, a lot. One nap takes up about 3 solid hours. One sleep about 14 hours. With a sprained leg and a pulled muscle (which has been aching since last Monday), I cannot exercise. So all I've been doing is going to school, eating, and sleeping. Boring shitzxs. ): ): ):

Anw, I had my first bahasa Indo lesson today. It was (dotdot) very confusing. I think now I can only remember 1% of what the Ibu taught. Like, selamat pagi, selamat siang, selamat sore, selamat malam. Tante = anutie. Om = Uncle. HAHA, that's about it.

I can't remember the rest, dies.


OKAY back to my boring life. That's to sleep. Selamat MALAM!

Sometimes when nothin' turns out right
I wonder if it's worth the fight
Sometimes I wish that I could say
That I've had enough

It has been a rather eventful second week of school. & this week has ended with me having multiple injuries. I have a strained right thigh muscle and a slightly sprained left ankle. It's the first time I ever have a sprained body part! Actually I don't even know if it's a sprain. It's just quite painful when I twist it or when putting pressure on my ankle but it's not swollen or anything.

My mom insisted on sending me to some chinese practitioner and have my ankle fixed but luckily I managed to convince her that it's not a big deal. I can totally forsee my ankle to get all red and swollen and worse than before.

Let's see, monday, celebrated CYM's birthday after school (fyi. it ended at 10am) in vivo. Caught UP, as in the movie. After the movie we had nth much t do. Spotted felicia chin and started stalking her for a while hahaha! Bus-ed back to school for IFG frisbee. Imagine having to run again after completing a half marathon the day before. Ouch. My knees were dying and so were my thighs!

Tuesday was 2nd round of trials for floorball. Ouch ouch! Did some sprinting drills and kind of pulled my already cui thigh muscle. Floorball was quite fun but super tiring! And it's kinda stressful cos all the pro people are there. After floorball I went for frisbee clinic! UPS.

Wednesday, no schoool but still went for IFG frisbee again! After which I went for canoe polo. Hahahaha, okay it's super maluating because I cannot paddle straight while the rest who turned up for the trial were previously from canoeing! Wahliewwwwwwsxz, malu to the max can. KAIQI SAVE ME!

Thursday I decided to give myself a break and not do anything, go home and sleep after school. But in the end I went for a swim, hoping it'll be therapeutic and that it'll help relax the muscles. But the moment I started swimming, my thigh muscle strain immediately acted up again, zzz. That was then when I realised I actually haven't recover from tuesday, so I just soaked in the pool but there was no sun. ):

Friday, celebrated Jiansheng's birthday with 22 donuts! It's amazing how we manage to find things to do or talk about to kill the time during the 4 hours break. Went for NVAC interview for the phillippines YEP trip. I'm still deciding if I should go! No strenuous activity for the day. Instead it was super slack. Eat eat eat and eat only.

Saturday, third round of Floorball trials! That's when I got a twisted ankle because I ran for the stupid ball, tripped over someone's stick and fell! GASPS. Okay, actually it wasn't very painful ah, still can play and everything. I thought nothing happened, so after floorball I went to swim just abit and soak up some sun again. Okay, abit painful but still bearable, just swam a few laps. Went home to sleeep till dinner! When I woke up, and tried standing up, I realised my ankle is really injured. It was even more painful. ):

Ohwels, I guess no more running for now. I shall just swim more. Swimming is the best :D Therapeutic, and not too strenuous, and you get to tann :D

That's my week for you! Haven't had such a detailed blog post about my life for quite some time ah hahahaha.

Ohkay, third week of school will be crasy! Crasily tiring and crasily boring. Pracs and tutorials are going to start, boohoo!

Start stepping out.

Yay, I completed my Safra half marathon! Thanks to CYW the birthday boy who ran all the way with me. If not I think I would probably just die half way. Now I have a blister on my toe, abrasion on chest, knee pain, ankle pain, shoulder ache, leg ache, backache, everywhere aching. Best of all, I still have frisbee tmr, floorball on tues, and canoe polo on wed. Woooohooooo!

Okay, tomorrow is super slack for me. I only have a lecture from 8AM-10AM. WHOOTS, then out to play. :DD

I think I must start reading my notes soon. Like really really soon, okay after monday I must study alr. Sounds impossible. Maybe I should just start on wed because I have no school on wed. And I must start on my SP1203 tutorial SOON.

I wish I can stop procrastinating.

First week of school was rather slack. Tuesday, 8AM-10AM, then 2PM - 6PM. No school on Wednesday because practicals and tutorials have yet to start. Thursday, 8AM - 10AM, 12PM - 2PM. Friday, 8AM-10AM, 2PM - 4PM. Very slack right? But the 4 hours break is super annoying, must always find something t do in between. Like, play frisbee, eat out, eat, eat, chit chat, laugh.

This timetable is only going to last until the end of next week. After that is boom boom pow, timetable filled to the brim, 8AM-6PM with a 2HR lunch break. That's if I successfully ballot for my tutorial slots for bahahahahasa Indo. If not then it's a mad mad rush everyday.


Everything's going to be OK.

Today, we had our very last YEP'08 meeting. It was good to see everyone sitting in a circle on the floor with food in the middle. Brings back good ol' memories from Cambodia. Just that we were now sitting in the comfort of an air-conditioned room, with more atas food like pizzas and goldenpillows hahaha. UPZ! What event shall I join for year 2 sem 1? :DD I've decided I want t join sem 2's SEP or APPS! :DD Exciting!

Since school has officially started, I should really really sleep earlier and wake up on time. So far, I've been late for allllll my morning lectures. It's a really bad habit which I'm going to change! I need to focus during lecture. CAP 5 CAP 5 CAP 5 THIS SEM, YO YO I CAN DO IT :D Will start on school work after AHM. REALLY REALLY. FOCUS! Although it's not very easy when you have lecturers with weird accent. When sample mean is pronounced as sabo me, or sa bo mian (which made me hungry). Whatever, just whack!

Tame your wild wild heart.


FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!

Hola!

The summer holiday has finally come to an official end. ): So fast hur, 2 solid months just zoomed past us. School is starting tomorrow and I'm feeling quite unprepared. Okay, there's probably not much to prepare for anyway, but I'm not quite in the mood for school. RAR!

Good news is that FOC/FOW/rag/flag has finally finally finally ended. I'm really relieved. Truthfully, I was feeling a lil regretful joining the fop comm initially because it was way out of my comfort zone. I didn't know anyone else in the comm except for micbay. Thankfully there's her, or else I prolly won't even be doing this at all.

The planning part was dry and boring. Meetings and meetings, this cannot that cannot. This one not feasible, that one not fun, not safe. Churning out proposals, modifying, squeezing our brains dry to think of fun games, when, where, how, what, who.

Then came the camps. It was quiteeeee stressful ah, cos there's like so many last minute changes, anc cock ups. The worst part was the supposedly climax of the camp, campfire night and SP night. But due to unforseen circumstances, everthing had to be put to a halt. Campfire night cancelled and SP night postponed.

Next up was FOW. If you have to ask why fow, it's because it comes in a package. If you're involved in foc, you're involved in fow too, there's no opting out. So yeah, plan and plan again. Fow is much tougher because we have to accomodate rag and flag in. The most important thing was to make nonfoc people feel comfortable. And I think we did it. So thumbs up for that. It was definitely better than last year's fow. Fow was really x987123 of foc. More work, more worries, more tiring, less meals and less sleep. Some little hiccups here and there, did some minor changes but eventually everything went pretty smoothly and everything went well. Yay to that!

It's also very funny to see how people behave when they're really tired and lacking sleep. You see how people run on adrenaline, it's HIGHLY hilarious. LOL. How they laugh how they cry and how they talk. lolol. It's good to see everyone working together and doing their best. Glad there isn't any politics or quarrels within focc or between focc and rag/flag. Guess we really compromised each other. Awesomeness! Rag was pretty awesome although we were non-competing all thanks to you-know-who. It's just really good to see people putting in effort and working together towards the same goal. Feel good sensation, you know.

Really learnt alot from joining the comm. It has extended my confort zone, extended my circle of friends, know certain people better, learnt more about myself, my abilities, my weaknesses. Very thankful to have extremely committed OGLs and GMs. Without them and their cooperation I guess this camp would flop. CHEERS to all of us! :D :D :D

Right now, I'm just very relieved and very happy that everything is overrrr! I don't want school to start, I still want to sleep sleep and sleep!


P.S: Anw, thank you laupy for chatting w me on the night before my camp. Really appreciate it a lot, it made a difference. :DD

Why like that why like that why like that why like that.

Last minute cock ups ):

RAR, SCARY SHIT.

; TEN FEET UNDER

I think I've had a good summer. Thumbs up!

x/ Random nights, just HTHT-ing and laughing at old jokes, new jokes.
x/ Windsurfed many times, reached the buoy!
x/ Muay Thai with yongz, still have two more lessons!
x/ Sentosa, loving it with my favourite people. Sun sand sea!
x/ Went for a failed chalet, but it's okay, I've learnt to make it better the next time.
x/ Freshmen Camp - learnt a lot about myself, what I can do, what I can't, what I should try to improve on. I think I have stage fright (esp big group of strangers) okay ignore. Learning how to adapt to changing situations.
x/ H1N1 scare, from the camp, from my brother, from my friends
x/ Sundown marathon-ed with Jess Ho! My first ever 42.195KM run :D
x/ Helping with rag (I DID HELP OKAY, I admit it's not a lot, but I did help!) and actually socialising a bit more. Rag dance is awesome, I love watching it! I SO WISH I CAN DANCE.
x/ Clubbing - It's very unhealthy and I'm not going to party for quite a long time.
x/ Goodbyes - Jessicar flying offffff ):
x/ Helloes - Having friends back from foreign land. Meeting my brother's new girlfriend HAHA.
x/ Buffets, quite a few of them.
x/ Ventured out of Singapore for a day at Mt Ophir, eating awesome durians (somewhat like durian buffet!)
x/ Really, this holiday is just about catching up with old/new friends and family.

Nothing extremely meaningful or academic. Nothing big. Nothing special. But I'm really contented :D Looking forward to a new sem, a new academic year. CAP FIVE HERE I COME. LOL! Mug hard and play hard! Feel like going for SEP during the next holiday to see the world!

It's going to be quite hard to change my holiday mood to school mood. I've got one week to try and gradually tune down. Gotta start with the body clock! 3.00AM right now. I'm going to get some sleep, and hopefully stay at home tomorrow.


Probably not, because nothing can be ever so perfect no matter how hard you try. Why not just learn from it, learn to accept it, and move on. Can't rewind at every loophole, can you?


True, true, true.

GOODNIGHT WORLD. (:
