LDC 08 starts tomorrow.
it seems difficult to believe that LDC Pre-Camp was only 2 saturdays ago.
it seems so long ago. i have lost the on-ness i felt during pre-camp. i'm unprepared.
still suffering from withdrawal symptoms. haha right sam chan.
well wow is over. time to pack (again) for camp. sigh.
at least i'm not like joyce and mark. come back from wow on wedneday. pack again because they're leaving on thursday. that's crazy. haha another weekend and half a week gone. have to start getting into the mugger mood for mid-years.
ah stressed stressed.
time to go start packing.

(censored msn nick) says:
whalao i miss mark yeo la
that was taken from my msn convo with my friend.
haha but then again, do note that it was taken out of context. haha as in for real. there were other stuff following that. haha but it's so scandalous. i'm like the stupid papparazzi that likes to blow things out of proportion or take things out of context, or just like. o wells.
bye OMers. all the best! (:

back from WOW. i must say that it was quite an enriching experience. rather meaningful. i'm really glad that i went for WOW. i still recall how i was rather hesitant, not knowing what to expect and being rather critical of all the paperwork that had to be done before. but at the end of it all, i must say that it was worth it, those 7 days spent away from Singapore. it's not that i hate Singapore, o no. on the contrary i really do appreciate the life i live in Singapore and in a way i have become more grateful because of what i saw in Batam. water that can be drunk from the tap. water that has to be bought and stored in drums (think oil drums) that have no cover. the kind of conditions they live in. helping to build a house for the family was well, to be politically correct meaningful. to be honest, i don't really know. for some, they said that seeing the cute girl (the daughter of the owner of the house of which we're building) was a motivating factor. whenever they felt tired, thinking that what they are doing is contributing to a better tomorrow for the girl gave them a sense of renewed energy and spurred them on in their work. i'm not sure why, but for me, it didn't matter. i just tried to do the best i could. is that a good thing or a bad thing? hm.
indeed it was a good time away from Singapore, away from all the worries that i left behind concerning school, both academic and otherwise. i managed to rest like never before. o right at least in the whole year. for once, an entire day was spent as carefree as one possibly could be in the circumstances. it felt good. it was good. we managed to do work. real work. i managed to get a tan. in a way, i'm a happy person.
well up to now i guess. it is back to Singapore and i am still finding it difficult to adjust back to everything. already a week is almost gone and i have accomplished so little. keeping in mind the other activities i soon, like ldc, and i feel like i'm not ready. ok i take that back, i know for sure i'm not ready. this is not good. indeed. it is unfortunate but i guess necessary, that time waits for no one and it just continues, regardless of the level of preparation i am at. what a pity. sigh.
i thought i missed you. maybe not.

well the time has come for people to leave for WOW.
no idea what to expect.
i shall just try to keep in mind the few things i am supposed to keep in mind.
be flexible over there. do my qt and pray. get others to do the same.
hopefully WOW will be a break for me. i need to get away from work for a while. recharge some batteries (mental and emotional ones). maybe physical too, but sleeping properly. haha. need to get something right first. hopefully i'll be able to succeed.
there goes the 1st of 4 semesters in IB life. 2 terms of 8. 1 quarter of IB is gone. i have achieved so little, too little. i am daunted.
anyway, champions league final tonight!! and i can't watch it. because i don't have cable. darn it.... go man utd! let me wake up with a smile on my face! haha
i need to get my fitness back. not that i was really ever fit, but yeah just to be where i was so i can start improving. i'm super slow now! ><>
i need to find motivation once again for common tests next month. scary. i shall set high standards for myself, i shall find inspiration from some people i know.
but for now, let me just rid myself of distractions.

ahhh stressed.
math portfolio. econs essay (but can write in point form apparently). just completed AI for leadership lecture 1 during ldc pre-camp.
tomorrow is the A div softball finals. whoo my class going down for cheering. hope we can win! (:
hope i have voice left to cheer. rugby A div finals cheering kind of took some away. darn. i can't cheer properly! ):
yay training resumed today. jet and i followed garry to run outside school. but jet left us halfway because he had choir at 535pm. haha so cool right? so garry brought us on a route from school to haw par villa and back. but it's not some run to haw par villa and make a u turn, going back the same route. some circular thing. haha quite a nice route i guess. wah but it's garry! i had to push a bit to keep up with him and push quite a lot to keep up with him at the last stretch of say 2.5km? and that's when he's not on full power. i could tell he was slacking somewhat. argh i still have so much catching up to do. darn it. never mind i will catch up! i simply will! i have to. i must. haha i sound like i'm crazy. then we rested before doing 4 x 150m. average time of 20, 21 secs? don't know if that's fast or not. o well. yay training! <3>
haha right i did not just type that heart
i really need to start doing my work. lalala

whoooooooo man utd won the epl!
ok i'm late in posting but i was too distracted with soccernet live commentary that i forgot to post the moment i learnt man utd won. haha
whoooooooo acsi won the A div rugby title!
and i'm not That late since it's just afternoon.
haha quite an exciting match. but couldn't really see all the action.
my throat is hoarse now...
the best part of the match (besides the final whistle indicating we won) was when the SA guy caught the ball as it came from the sky and the moment he caught it blandon just came and tackled him. he flew back a few metres at least. haha as in blandon was already charging towards him. just that he tackled at the moment the guy caught it. perfect timing i say. super nice tackle. but i must say, it's like *ouch* man
21-8 if i'm not wrong. important part is we won (:

really i find the whole poking thing quite pointless. o well i shall let people have their fun while i just simply delete those emails informing me i have been superpoked. on a somewhat separate note, someone really unexpected has facebook. hoho.
i need better time management. i need more discipline. i need to finish my chem ia by tonight (most of it anyway). it's due on wednesday.
i need monday evening to be spent doing my mock iop slides, which i told mr andeny i will do on tuesday.
i need tuesday evening to study for my HL math test on wednesday, of which i am so going to fail for unless there's a miracle.
which leaves me with sunday evening, which is essentially over except for the about 40mins left. not to mention i haven't showered (yes i'm gross), i haven't done qt nor have i finished copying hitler notes from daniel yee because i lost mine. i managed to put everything mr alvin tan has taught us on a single piece of foolscap with colours and it goes missing. i cry ):
stayed over in school on friday, which left my brain dead on saturday because of the 3 and a half hours of sleep i got. 2 nights of not checking emails and surprisingly i'm not exactly bombarded. 9 new mails in my msn hotmail. quite a few in my gmail. the other accounts don't count. but all of a sudden there seems to be a few bb things to settle.
on a random note, darn there's no training this week. ok shall run with the bb nyaa people.
surprise surprise i'm blogging instead of typing out my qualitative observations for chem ia. ok i plan to finish my qualitative observations and the calculations (without doing error propagation) by tonight and then i shall go off. maybe i should make that trip to town pretty soon to get that thing of which i believe could help me.
on a random note, here's just to say that the night of 3rd may was the night i had a dream involving the person who introduced me to the idea of getting the thing of which i believe could help me.
i forgot to wish my friend happy birthday on friday. i forgot to send a farewell sms to my cousin who left for internship in sony, dubai, on thursday night. darn those are 2 messages i would gladly send even though at the rate i'm going i'm going to exceed my 500 limit by quite a bit. for a 2nd consecutive month. i need to maintain my good boy image... heh right.
i'm curious to see how this week will turn out.
