Believe and open your eyes Michael! Be gone Sunshine!

Now you see him (sunshine)

Now you don't! and Michael can finally see!

I love Photoshop!

I jus had Sava Sprints this weekend... somehow.. the competition didn't really come to me like it was a race.. but more of a super long weekend training session... The medals also didn't really mean that much to me this time round... Its feels more like a periodic evaluation to our training methods.. and thats all.. maybe its just my mood bah. shitty things happening to me here and there.. like losing my shoe bag.. sian.

It's a good thing that we are consistent in our race results.. so we know roughly where we are locally and against our foreign neighbour, the Camarines... I think both our mixed boats did well though there was an air of rivalry between them that soured later part of the day cos we couldnt achieve a 1 - 2 finish .. But i guess its good. Means, there's some hidden problem that we need to fix so we can improve overall..

Other than that.. Congrats to those getting their first medals.. but i hope they won't hao lian and continue to be humble like how we should always be. NUS will surely come back stronger.. dats one thing for sure.

Anyway, on friday, me and my og celebrated Mid Autumn Fest together.. we played a bit of tennis before heading down to Yunnan Garden to soak in the festivities. Fairuzi was nice to teach the few of us the basics.. After that, we head down to the garden and hijacked a pavilion and set up shop... setting up candles and lantern to light up the whole place before we had our mooncakes.. Funny thing was that we started to have a crowd gathering at our pavilion and they though we were one of the stations helping up with the school's Mid Autumn Festival Celebrations..

so we played along.. Chairman Shuang bluffed our friendly supporters at our pavilion that our 'station' is the lighted lantern wishing pavilion.. that if they were to hang their lighted lantern there and make a wish, their wish would 80% come true...

Well.. hope their wishes will really come true as much as they believed in it.. Because you gotta believe in it yourself before anything good can happen.. Positivity always works.

People who turned up! (Lee Ting came later... so wasn't in the pix)

May your wishes come true!

Its still a long way to go...

adieu

Ever since secondary school, I've always believed in 'facing the music'... no matter what it is... how bad it is... face it and you will grow. It will sting. It will stink... but when u wake up the next day, you should just wake up feeling happy you've experienced something like that... and that its plain dumb and really stupid to wake up feeling sore. Some people might also think i'm a bit crazy to do this 'cos in a way its like torturing yourself... but i believe you should teach yourself that it doesn't hurt at all.

Anyway.. ever since young.. i've always had the affinity with the things i see around me.. the places that i passed by have become or had became part of me... When i was young, i used to past by SJI without knowing that it would become my secondary school... In NS, i would pass by hall 6 whenever we had range.. and i always thought that it looked realli chui and that the rooms reminded me of toilet cubicles from the outside.. i ended up living in one of these toilet cubicle rooms for 3 years already.. but no matter how.. i can't really peek into the future and see what will happen next .. nobody can... oh well..

August wasn't so good.. This mth.. so far not looking good.. Wonder what's planned out for the month of October.. hope it would better..

Thanks guys once again. I'm fine anyway. Its something of the past. Today wasn't totally bad... i had food, someone smsed me today at least.. and it always feel good to overtake people from the outside during sprints... too bad my endurance isn't good... need to train harder.

Not a very 'seh' character though.. lol

Anyway, its been a busy week.. lab report and 3011 project. crap sia. the projects just come together at the same time. not fun. I can't wait to tide over these two projects. Today, my team also trained at Bedok plus took some photos on site.. so we can put them up at the src. mmm.. Hope the photos will look nicer after processing.. its my first time handling raw files.

No Spiak. Stresssss...Dilemma

I wanna do this for IA..

but i guess.. i need to sacrifice the other important aspect in my life for it then.. "expected to work extra hours (ie: 12 hours shift, 6 days week)..." sian. Every part of this project offered by Exxon sounds fun to me except this ... cos it puts in me in a spot with my cca in school.. oh.. i'm so gonna' be dropped from the main line-up..

but i think.. i need convince myself that my main objective in school is to study and get my degree... and in order to pull up my grades.. i need to ace in my IA.. Dragonboat.. is just my cca. Though i've put in alot for it. The trainings..extra trainings to catch up with trainings, the extra effort to balance my studies and outside life or whatever's left of it.. Dragonboat is still just my cca and not the main focus... But anyway, its still to early to say anythin.. maybe things will just work out fine there between me and my mentor so i can leave early and have a 5 day work week. haha... besides... i dunno if i can get this job still anyway.. almost everyone in my course is vying for a spot in Exxon since it's the top paying IA company.

Anyway.. this IA thing selection thing is taking up alot of my 'spiak' damn. I've got to catch up with my core modules and lab project.

**defn: Spiak - okay.. most people dunno this.. but it's a term my officer in my NS unit used. It can mean anythin from inspiration, motivation, energy to money, affinity, time... ie: "Don't come bother me, i've got no spiak right now.."

THEHUMANRACE10K
31.8.2008

I got this after completing the Nike Human Race.. (both Leslie and me felt that the packaging look a lot better than the band itself.. but anyway the run was for a good cause and it doesn't matter.. since its for charity.. )

The route consist of running through the streets around town.. its both good and bad.. Its the first time anyone organised a run around the city streets by the restaurants along boat quay, clarke quay, robertson quay, a part of the CBD area.. and its quite refreshing actually.. just that it makes over-taking difficult because of the narrow route. There are supposedly acts along the way.. but then i only saw two bands playing through out the whole route.. And this run wasn't really good for me and my teammates cos we were stuck in a bad jam on our way to the race venue and had a really late lunch... from the first kilometer on.. we were nursing stitches.. that suck.. I happen to see someone though.. Brightened up my day yesterday.. lol.. I was thinking if i was lucky enough to bum into her before the race actually.. didn't know it would really happen.

(actually.. i was so excited that i exclaimed when i saw her.. and told my teammies about it.. disregarding the fact that she was just beside us when i did that.. lol. ended up she kept looking at us after dat.. wonder if she knew who we were anyway.. and that we are affliated to her through her cousin haha. )

We watched a bit of the concert that happened after the race.. wah. quite cool arh.. they set up a huge stage just like those rock concerts you see on tv.. and Utt, the host that night.. was also giving out free ipods as if they were those 50cent toys you would buy at those toy machines at neighbourhood shops.. Too bad, i couldn't stay for long.. a desk-load of work and my dad's curry was waiting back at home.. sian.
