Recce At West Coast Park


Morning woke up quite late, felt quite tired, or rather maybe my body has gotten lazy. Met some group of church mates in Clementi MRT at 2 PM. Walked one whole round to the interchange... Bought a drink along the way, cold honey water. Took 175 to West Coast Park, bought a medium cup of Sprite upon reaching there, super thristy. And Eudora met us there, suddenly saw her at Macdonalds. Then we go about to recce the place for the nocturnal camp, after awhile of exploration and playing around, we went back to Macdonalds. Had some of Cornelius' fries with chili + mayo + pepper, nice. (: Then I went back home, 176 all the way to Bukit Panjang Interchange. Slept halfway during the journey... A small boy had to wake me up when we reached the interchange, quite embarrassing. Just now did some fitness training, 7 sets of 12 storey steps climbing. Now got Jackie Chan movie on Channel 8, racing and martial arts, nice. That's all, bye.

Late To Early


Today... I so got owned. Why so? Because I woke up feeling anxious on the fact that I did not set my alarm, so I thought dead, late already. Then I darted to the kitchen to take a look at the clock, I read the time as 9.40 AM?! So I rushed, quickly washed up and anyhow change into a T-shirt and berms, then throw stuff into my bag and rushed out of the house. Until I was in the LRT station SMSing Zhen Bang and he tell me I still got 1 hour left, I went like... Huh? How come got 1 hour? That's when I took a look at the time on my handphone... Then it read, 8.55 AM. I was like... What the heck?! I actually misinterpreted the time. So I reached school early. Lecture started on 10 AM. Had no breakfast, ate a little of the twisties (tomato flavour) that Cassandra shared. POA lecture was so-so, that part also kind of went through before. Lecture lasted for 2 hours, so I went home after that, felt exhausted. Before that I went to the stalls at the Atrium which were selling laptop and electronic accessories. Reached home just wanted to lie on the bed awhile, in the end I dozed off till 5 PM?! Did not feel that well, plus I did not eat lunch yet, so I cooked some noodles for myself. And of course I did not go training, wanted to go badly, today intense, but did not feel that well and I was going to be late anyway. And that's all.

Go Slap Myself

Random scenery.


This morning Mum and Sis went to Hong Kong... So good... Then I left home for school around the same time. Stats Theory lecture at 9 AM. Dr. Badri's lecture funny, and also can understand well. 'Go slap yourself' - his favourite line. Hahaha. Today's lecture quite a lot of laughter. After that was Effective Writting tutorial. Suddenly felt a little bored, then used MSN quite a lot. We did a quiz, teacher go through the Chapter 3 and then do practices. After lesson, we went to Kou Fu to eat. At first quite difficult to find seats, but finally it was settled. Ate Nasi Lemak, not bad. (: Then we went to our tutorial room to use laptop. That room suddenly cannot use MSN, super screwed up. MSN cannot sign in or when can sign in, always get 'kicked' out. Principles of Marketing tutorial was quite ok, Ms Paua was back! Went through tutorial 3 questions and the ICA 1. Chose NTUC, wanted OldTown White Coffee, but don't know what promotions they have. After class, I went to the fast food canteen to buy ham mayo sandwich to eat, was hungry. Then went to track and slacked, training yet to start. Today's training was to run 1 hour non-stop round the field, so was about 10 km. Of course tiring, have been running, tomorrow speed training some more, 'jia lat'. Left for home after some stretching, washing and changing up and having a drink.

I Need Speedy Recovery!

Not my school's stadium but somewhat similiar.


Devastating blow to Arsenal and the Arsenal fans, they crashed out of the UEFA Champions League, losing Manchester United 3-1, and aggregate 4-1. A season with no trophy once again, so they better work hard next season. Injury woes may have costed their past few seasons, their defence so vulnerable for that game. Back to today, lessons started at 10.10 AM. 3 hours of Microsoft Access module, did a lot on queries today. Today my load is much easier, just one textbook, no lecture notes, still quite heavy after some time of carrying, because of the laptop + the textbook. After lessons, I went to McDonalds to meet Shawn to eat lunch, he was with a group of friends, so I just joined in. Ordered double-cheese burger meal, upsize and the drink was Milo, costed me only $4.95. After lunch, me and Shawn went to sign up for the NYP road run - competitive (4KM). Then we went to find the Campus Crusade room, but cannot find. So we went to the library, then they say need the PM temperature taking sticker, we only had the AM one. So had to go all the way down to first floor to take temperature then go up 4 stories back to the library. Then we went in, found a table which only had one person sitting by it, he left eventually. So we settled there and used our laptops, just used facebook. Then we went for Campus Crusade. Around near 5 PM, we too 'malu' to just leave for Athletic training like that, so finally we left just before 5 PM. Changed up and reached the track, slacked on the seats for quite some time. Then later warm up run 2.4KM, followed by intensive stretching. Proceeded with our fierce training, supposed to run 600m as fast as we can, 8 sets with 5 minute-intervals. In the end we did 7 sets, some intervals like less than 5 minutes... At the end, my leg ached badly, because yesterday I ran more than 10 rounds with canverse shoes. Actually got the stamina to run, just that leg was aching + no energy. After that we did some stretching, I played around a little with the soccer ball and I went home after changing up, walked to the MRT station together with an acquaintance, don't know how to spell his name. So that's all for my tiring day, you know why I need speedy recovery? Because my training runs from every Monday - Friday...

Early Mocking

Today basically keep getting mocked at because of Arsenal's upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Manchester United... As many of my friends are non Arsenal supporters and Arsenal is currently a goal down on aggregate... So, back to today. Reached tutorial on time I guess, still so many people not arrived. Before that was temperature taking, many people on the queue as usual. Effective writting skills tutorial first, did practices and test. Scored 85/100 for the test. Lesson finished fast to me. Then we went McDonalds to eat 'lunch' at 10. Saw Lionel there, long time never see him since he changed church, he came over and talked to me awhile. I order Sausage Mcmuffin with egg meal, should have upsized, what was I thinking?! Upsize not much difference in price and I'd get much more Milo! Then as we eat, listened to our new classmate, Austen, talking about his NS stories. Got a couple of ghost stories... Aiyo. Talked like almost 2 hours I think, then we go lecture hall and waited outside for quite long. Macroeconomics lecture next, quite boring actually, at least got some laughter... If the swine flu alert turns red, must start ICA 2 at home already. Gosh. Macroeconomics tutorial was next, Mr. Chang too soft again, lucky I sit in front, at least can still grasp on the topic. After lessons, went to change up then put down bags in gym. Then Hafiz, Darren and me went to the track and run. After a couple of rounds, Shawn joined me and we ran together, same pace. After running, I joined my friends in the gym but never do, forgot my towel. Then followed Gavin and Wilson, eventually went to buy drinks together with Wilson and I went home alone. Haha.

Colour Of The Day - Yellow


Today woke up later than I wanted to, so I was pressing for time. Anyhow chose my clothes, wore a yellow T-shirt + berms today. Rubbing salt into the wounds, the MRT kept stopping in the middle of the track, wasting a lot of time. Saw Royston coming out from the same train as me. Only got to get close to him midway walking to school, tapped his bag but he still did not realised until I walked in front of him. Then we tried rushing to school, making it worse for us, a security guard blocked us and made us go do a quick temperature check, was quick but a lot of people. So did not reach the lecture hall in time to tap my student card, about 4 minutes late? So our Stats Theory's lecturer was back from India, Dr. K Badri. He's quite good, only have to catch his speed and indian accent, but I don't think I'd sleep in his lecture. He's a rather nice chap as well. Starting of the lecture, he talked crap, haha. Then he began teaching, could understand clearly. After lecture, had to submit my name and a little particulars in a paper as I did not get to tap my student card on time. Then was POA tutorial, 2 hours of lesson very fast gone. So maybe the lesson was good, POA so far quite steady. Lunch time at South Canteen again, ate Malay Rice. Then we (friends + I) went to settle down in an empty tutorial room, not actually empty, got people but no lessons were conducted. And I could use and charge up my laptop's battery. Stats Theory lesson was next, was quite ok... Did practices, 2 hours also quite fast finished. Finally was Principles Of Marketing lecture, oh my... Was a torture. Ms Paua today did not go school, so someone took over her lecture. Boring + I don't understand, fortunately only one day replacement lecturer, if not this module I may struggle. After school did not go for Athletic extra training, tired after long day. Oh yeah, about my title, because when today, me, Qixiang and Gavin stand in a line earlier on, we look some sort of 'brotherhood', all wear yellow top. Cause maybe yellow is some rather rare colour worn by people, so it may cause others to think we may have arranged this, but no. (:

One Way


Today had to wake up early, as I had to go to Church early for Children's Church duty. Just helped out in 2 skits, and later on was an assistant in a class. After duty, it was time to go to East Coast Park. Today was baptism day, so our Church went there. Went there in my Godfather's car. Didn't eat lunch, so shared food here and there. Didn't really play soccer, no one like want to play also... Then went rollerblading with some friends. But expensive, $10 for 2 hours, 1 hour also same price. After rollerblading, then I played one game of bridge then went home. Was rather late and East Coast Park to my house is one long journey. Felt rather tired on my way home. Hmm, got to do some work, so this is all for the day.
