休息是为了走更长的路。

- A. Lim

Haha. But apparently I m resting a tad too much. Been doing too many non-academics stuff.

Block test so far, hmm, how should I put it? Haha maybe the Barney gay song ?

I love U, U love me, we are happy family…

Oh well, it s part of a life-long education, to teach us to accept failure in our stride and to learn from it in time for the real thing. But honestly, it s time, people. Time to get down to real work. Like back in the second half of the sec 4 year. It won’t be as easy as 2007 with season coming up and considering the snowball on my desk isn’t melting at a fast dy/dt. Anyway, back to how I wasted my time away.

FRIDAY

It s simply sleep and slack. Recovering from last minute mugging for the past week.

SATURDAY to SUNDAY

It s when the adventure around Singapore began. TAMPINES. Woke up early to meet Pam for NUS open house to attend some talks. Bumped into Wei Li there as well. DOVER. Left when we couldn’t take the business talk anymore and went to BUGIS junction for late lunch. Checked out Sim Lim Square for headphones but nothing was good. Ying Lun called, met trackers at PS CJ. DHOBBY GHAUT. Watched them eat after Allcomers and went to Paradiz for a short pool session. Next, to KEAT HONG Palm Gardens, Shawn’s house for Man U- Liverpool match. I guess everyone knows the result by now right? Heh. Really happy with how they played. Not so sure about the host though. Met Lois at the LRT station and took to CHOA CHU KANG MRT and ultimately to BOON LAY. Met Zheng Da who was waiting for ages and 179ed to NTU. Slept, woke up, Sam, Van, Mann came but wasn’t split into the same group. Bussed with Lois to some where near JURONG EAST. It’s some industrial area that s quite uluated that we cant even find a toilet. Ended up walking into a building which the guard forgot to lock the gate to borrow the toilet. Did marshalling, and was picked up by the bus to move back to NTU to get lunch and then redropped at HOUGANG. Did more marshalling, partly in the rain but was lucky enough to be near a bus stop and actually slept there for almost an hour. Bike Rally was sort of cancelled and we were asked to go home. So, bussed through PASIR RIS, then to TAMPINES to meet family there. Lois experimented the ‘3 hour 67’ to CCK but busted the myth. It s now 1.5 hour 67. Finally got home, napped, Matrix, conked.

MONDAY

School, but was a total waste of time. The rest of the day was super unproductive, just didn’t have the mood. But the mouth got a treat, the ears too. Hui hui treated pizza. Didn’t know choir was that good until they invaded the music corner for a ‘warm up’. Didn’t know Cassie was that good on the piano until the ‘practice’ session. Hmm too many modest people in the world already. Track, pretty slack hence shocking because I was told to do starting blocks. It was a provocative move that got tongues wagging and minds speculating. But it was quite fun to do something new.

TUESDAY

Lessons and probably waste of time again. Macs breakfast. Went back school to sleep, only to wake up in time for distractions and training. Made an unwise decision to go to Tau Huey with Gabs just before training. Turned out it wasn’t gym for me but 400, 300, 200, 400. Stomach groaned as expected. Phlegm choked, but still managed reasonable timings. Puked a lil and that s when A.Lim made that statement. It s kinda inspirational in a way since I realized there are more chiongsters apart from myself. Rejoined the pack in the gym and for the announcement for team sajc, which confirms the speculation that I m in 400m individual, 4 x 400m team and also 800m. Really grateful to ms tan and coach for offering me this chance. Will try my bestest best. Aunt was feeling rich again and gave a treat at Yummy Crab along Changi Road, the adidas sundown marathon place (wanna be there this year again!)

WEDNESDAY

Basically paid my fatigue debt and guitar debt and jun jia badminton racket restringing debt. Which tallies up to another slack day.


Which means I gotta start right now. Tata.
