SPA...

and there's nothing comforting or stress-relieving about this SPA. SPA = Science Practical Assessment. takes doing practicals to a whole new level... of studying. no one ever heard of studying for practicals... but now we have to! anywayz today was part of my A level exam, physics SPA exam. skill B was relatively straight forward, i figured all i can go wrong with is if my number of d.ps of s.fs are wrong, and if my reasons for anomaly don't make sense at all :p skill D was trickier in the sense that... dunno what the hell to write for improvements of experiments lah! wrote 3 points, then somehow managed to squeeze out a 4th point 2 minutes before the end of the paper. finished all my calculations like 20 minutes before the end, and spent a large amount of time after that thinking, and staring at a damn wooden ruler. but overall it's quite do-able lah. just tt s.fs and d.ps will be my ultimate downfall eventually i feel. wrote and checked my units very carefully... so that shouldn't be a problem.

going to revised timetable for tomorrow and friday. tomorrow lessons till 11.45, and friday no school, but probably go to school in the morning to find mr low and bombard him with physics qns. poor guy. oh btw... he's got very interesting fashion sense. just yesterday he wore a very... striking striped shirt that cheryl eloquently called... gay. then during the september holz, he wore a pink polo shirt... very cool physics teacher we've got hahaha as far as i can tell he's better than mr tan, his ex-schoolmate and batchmate. both are new teachers lah... luckily we got mr low... alvin instead :p

here's wishing ta hoong a wonderful last day tomorrow as a "boy"... as on friday it's the 1st day of his "man-hood" hahaha poor guy entering NS on children's day... but oh well, no problem for him lah. most probably get best trainee, end up at OCS, win somemore awards that i've never heard of. ahhh he's got no problem lah hahaha cheers!

Which one will you choose???

Got this off friendster... makes plenty of sense to me... have a read :)

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make.............



How do you decide?



No cheating...



What is your decision?



Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess.

Exactly, I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was the rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.

This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday.

In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.

The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The friend who forwarded me the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.

If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.

If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made,we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

"Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right."

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.

thousands of mistakes i've made, many of which i have been unable to reverse or rectify. so i shall now try to salvage the situation at hand, and that is to get promoted to J2, before i seriously start to regret. i've regretted so many things in my life before, and this shall not be one of them. cheers.

it is upon us...

J1 promos officially started today. for essay, i wrote on the title " "Forever young, i want to be forever young" how healthy is this attitude?" i must say this was a rather tricky paper. usually after 1st glance i would have in mind a few questions that were worth attempting, but after looking through the questions, my mind was a blank! i had no damn idea which question i wanted to do... so just resorted to standard elimination. had 4 out of 11 qyestions at the end, and finally decided on that one. wrote 3 and 1/3 sides on it, more than i would usually write, but my point on the political side seemed... pathetic. felt so useless and confused when i was writing it, which is not good. the compre was ok i guess, managed to finish the paper, wrote slightly more than 2 sides for the AQ, and found about 9 points (at least i think they're points) for the summary, which is ok i hope. but then again it's never about quantity, but all about quality. hopefully i can pass... main target is to beat cheryl hahahaha never done it before, but too used to getting tops for english already :p but it's not exactly easy to beat a lit student... oh well...

today is a very special day man... coz my blog is one year old!!! hahahaha i started this blog last year 2 days after the end of my prelim exams, and if u actually bother looking back, i think you'll be able to tell that my perspective of life has changed tremendously. reading through some of the anticipations and expectations of JC, it all seems so hilarious... something about "screaming IJ girls" that would drive me crazy hahaha well now i realised... it's more the cedar girls that are driving me crazy, and not so much the IJ girls :p well back then i had absolutely no idea what i was getting myself into again, so it was all a very big guessing game for me, and now here i am one year on, the 1st day of my promo exams... hoping that i can get into J2 next year. hmmm somehow life on my blog seems to be moving so much more slowly than life, outside my blog. maybe coz i've gotten used to life outside my blog, and typing out all your memories takes you back, which makes the day seem longer? oh well... another thing to ponder about hahaha HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG!!! :)

on the bus back home today i felt damn empty lah... i think i know why... but it was a damn sad feeling. just sat there, and felt like i didn't belong anywhere. maybe it was coz of the damned NE paper that was so much harder compared to mid-years, but then again it doesn't really make sense why i am actually feeling this way. probably my brain on overdrive again from the GP paper, stayed so awake and focused for 3 hours, brain tends to go a bit wonky hahaha time to mug... more. Cheers!

oh well... evanescence will have to do... got some meaning to it too... but still must be a happier person... concentrate...

attitude problem...

that's what i've got! i've been too depressed about life that it's dragging me down. maybe i'm saying all this because my brain's kinda dead from a whole day of maths and physics, but that's all i can see as my problem. so... i need to be happier!!! hahaha with that i changed me blog song!!! ok i'm a bit high now (see what i mean!?!?) this song was featured in the CJ mass dance that we'll learnt, got the full version from jack, and now i got it on my blog.

wtf... just found out it's not a full version!!! ggrrrr... just as i thought i found a nice song to put on my blog... argh time to find another song then :p haiz if all else fails i'll just go back to broken, or maybe some linkin park song... hmmm shall see lah. GP tomorrow... wish everyone luck... will pray for some... chiong sua people! Cheers!

transparency...

on friday (or was it thursday?) kwee called me over during break time, and he said to me that i seemed very distracted recently. that kind of stunned me coming from him. but then again... many times over has people around me been able to sense that something is wrong when something really is. too much of what i'm feeling is being seen... i wonder if that's a good thing. kwee also said that my results have been like a sine curve, one moment it's quite good, then it dips, then goes up again. he found it quite disturbing, but i found it normal hahaha i mean that's the way it has been all my life!!! in SJI the maximum amplitude of my "sine curve" was the O levels, and the minimum amplitude was my sec 4 mid years, where i got 31 points!! that all seems so far away... and to think that about 1 year ago my prelims were over, and i was playing basketball, soccer and badminton for 3 hours over 3 days :p ahhhh the memories...

finally managed to find "broken" on the net so that i can put it on my blog. very nice song, very meaningful, and again very relevant. i always put relevant songs on my blog :p oh well time to do more maths, finally managed to get started, albeit a bit late. but better late than never i guess... cheers!

end of yet another week...

this has been a rather interesting week, not on the academic side though. that part will be in the next 3 weeks... but it's interesting in the way tt... i can't really write it here hahaha but it's good in a few ways :) aiyah all i can say about this is that you win some and you lose some... just gotta keep the wheels of life churning...

just came back from xin's birthday dinner. neo, shaun, gc, bren and linus went along as well, making it 7. well 1st moment i saw xin, i realised that he's fatter than SJI lah!!! hahaha wah but it was good to have a little SJI gathering again... talked about so many things that we haven't for so damn long lah... felt quite good :p rite now i expect they're still roaming around town actually, but i came home early coz my sis is going back to UK tonight (early tomorrow morning). we'll went to marche, ate pizza, pork ribs tt came with some noodles, some ham thingy, and don't know wat else lah hahaha after that went to gc's ex-workplace to get yogurt, not bad lah quite tasty.

oh well the juicy academic bits start yesterday, with GP on monday and physics SPA on wednesday... and recently there's been some additions to skill D lah, bloody hell. and that stooopid xin had to keep reminding us that he's topping all his subjects lah... getting As for everything, and here we are all struggling to just pass to damn thing :( yet again we ponder as to why we're not in poly, but in the stressful and f-ed up system of JC.

things seem to be getting better... at first only koala could see it, but now i can sense a bit of it too. but it felt weird... just plain weird. i think it's been imprinted on my subconscious that being in that sort of situations would be weird... but i guess it's part of growing up, getting over past impressions and giving people 2nd chances, although sometimes it's not the best thing to do. cheers.

too much...

can't write all this down here... it's just too... personal lah. will probably tell a few people if they ever asked me, but not all those in school. i guess there could've been a worst time to tell me, but at least it didn't end up the same way as past experience... and i'm glad it didn't. so thanks :)cheers!

just another day...

went to school this morning for an econs mock exam... well so called exam lah all we had was MCQ and DRQ :p supposed to be for 2 hours, but people could leave early if they wanted, very good exam man... anywayz after that went to class to finish off 2nd draft of report for the damned PW. today was alot more productive than today, thank goodness!!! yesterday we were all kinda stoned from the earlier lessons, so everyone was just sitting around. i felt like i did during my A maths prelims last year... nothing going in or out, head just felt completely hollow!! and that resulted in a D7, but lets not go there shall we...

as i was all packed up and ready to leave, half of me wanted to say "BYE!" to everyone in class... but after a while it slowly subsided and the other half that just wanted to leave unceremonously just took over... and i just walked out quietly. felt odd as i walked down the corridor, actually kind of bad lah, but just didn't feel like saying anything, felt so very detached. detached from the whole world, just living in a world of my own with "sex bomb" playing in my ears :p

came home, ate lunch and slept from 3 to 7. 4 hours shiok man... all i remember doing was lying down, and next thing i know is my sister is waking me up because my relatives are over for steamboat. ate a whole load of meatballs man... they're good!! hahaha my 1 nephew and 3 nieces were over... 2 nieces of left already though. got one more nephew on the way... wah don't know how i'm going to keep them busy next time man, especially when all 5 of them have the ability to run around. right now only 3 of them can run, thank heavens!!! 5 kids all under the age of 7 running around you is no joke man hahaha

last nite had a little online econs conference with brendan and glenn, clarified a few things with glenn, and at the same time allowed glenn to revise his year 1 econs hahaha win-win situation aye? :) thinking about having study sessions with glenn... since he takes all the subjects i take... which is good for me!!! but then i realised, i'm not having a constant study environment... one moment i'm in school, next moment i'm at home, after that i'm at bishan CC, soon i don't know where i'll end up. the best was still bang's house lah, but then schedule all different already, very hard to coordinate lah. hmmm my mouse cursor is moving across the screen on its own... very interesting hahaha

oh well one week closer to exams, one week closer to holidays, one week closer to the end of the year. that's damn fast man... JC will be over before i know it lah!!! damn... cheers!

monsoon already???

no can't be... it's too early in the year. then what's with all the rain man? this is like perfect weather for sleeping lah!!! oh why oh why didn't it rain like this during the holidays, but on the 1st week of the term when everybody is dreading to be back in school... well anywayz class finally had full attendance today hahaha monday tow han, wiz and derek were absent, with xuanrui and elisa going home early. tuesday tow han and wiz were absent again, with farhana and chip going home early, and tze wei zhaoing school hahaha

oh man still got the damn GP portfolio to finish, got a mock econs exam on saturday, just case study and MCQ, bad enough lah. need to rush 2nd draft of written report, haven't started on revision for maths yet. physics is barely scratched, econs is laggy... oh man... i'm tired already. cheers!

what a wet day...

today when i stepped into LT 1 for my physics lecture it was bright and sunny, without a single hint of rain. when the bell rang for change of period, there was a blackout in the LT, and apparently some heard thunder, but i guess i was too busy laughing with joshua and wee koon that i didn't hear it. after maths lecture in the same location, i stepped out to find a sunny and clear sky, also without a hint of rain, until i walked into puddles of water all along the corridor, and that kind of confused me :p

when i got to class, it was like the water pipe burst or something. because we left our windows facing the tennis courts wide open, the heavy rain coupled with presumably damn strong winds blew the rain into our classroom. almost everyone's tables and chairs got wet. worksheets under tables, pencil boxes on the table, bags on chairs and floors, all got wet. those nearest to the window got the full blast of it. but the odd part is even tables and chairs at the other end of the classroom got a bit wet, which means the wind must've been blasting man. but somehow i was lucky lah, i was the only person in class with both a dry chair and table, even cheryl's chair was a bit wet, but nothing else. we realised that no amount of tissue paper would've dried the tables and chairs, so we turned to our collection of unclaimed PE shirts on the floor in the plastic bag to dry stuff. we didn't really care that they were dirty, as long as they absorbed the water. so we spent about 10 minutes of chinese drying up stuff, and hanging our bags on the railing outside class. the corridor become something like a laundrymat where there were things on the chair and railing being hung out to dry hahaha

after the tables were all dried thanks to some dirty shirts, xuanrui and tze wei found themselves sitting in a pond :p there was a huge collection of water at their feet, pity them. louis and clarrisa turned up with a mop which was eventually used to dry that little section of the classroom. but every cloud has it's silver lining, we kind of did some spring cleaning following the "disaster". our class seemed alot cleaner after this incident, which is quite hilarious really. guess one tends to throw away wet unwanted paper aye? and maybe the wind blew all the sweet wrappers out the window or something hahaha

oh man beginning to miss sji again... maybe because there hasn't been training for a while, or because this promos is driving me a bit crazy... hmmm maybe it's a combination of both. wondering whether i should run during tomorrow's PE, or play volleyball, or slack in class. i'm tired, but i want to sweat it out... looks like the last option is out of the question then, even though i'm quite tired already. still got to finish that GP portfolio, realised that there are 13 questions, and i've only finished 8, and the damn thing is due on thursday lah shit!!! with so much homework to finish, how on earth can we study? well i guess all homework is sort of like revision, but we need time to look at old'er' stuff man...

what to do? i don't know what to do... i made up my mind earlier on what to do, and i stuck with it for a while, but after a while i just flipped back again. if i don't do this, there might be some... well... non-pleasant circumstances, which obviously won't be pleasant. think think think dum di dum dum... Cheers.

haze and today...

felt damn weird today going to school lah... never felt so reluctant to go to school man, not even during last year's prelim period or O levels. i really felt like shit lah, then again so did everyone else in CJ hahaha worst part was that could smell this layer of haze hovering around... sickening. during PE, we were playing basketball when suddenly the neighbours started fumigating lah... all the guys were choking on poisonous air and running around after a bright orange ball, damn sickening.

I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes.
Haze is all around me,
come on and let me choke
*cough cough*

something else for you math crazed people, might have seen it before, but that's ok hahaha

girls = time x money
money = time
therefore,
girls = money^2
money is the root of all evil
so,
money^2 = evil
as such...
girls = evil

Cheers!

i just realised that i'm supposed to be on holiday...

date today is 11 september, and no i'm not going to talk about WTC, but about the supposed holiday i was supposed to be on. i guess it should not come as a surprise that i don't really enjoy holidays anymore, but it just pisses me off that i can't.

anyway beginning of the "holz" had ATC, as stated in an entry a while back, and uhhh... had lessons on tuesday and wednesday... then yesterday went to school for morning run with hui shan, met neo, yan siang and wei jie there... all just happened to be there at the same time, and ended up playing basketball, after that went to bishan CC to meet shu fang to mug. today, had to meals outside of house, so couldn't really study.

shall elaborate more then... yesterday first. so we ran, then on the 3rd round i had to go and take a piss, so i took a piss hahaha came back she just nice finished 1 round. after she stopped i was doing my sprint laps, on my 9th lap i felt a bit giddy, and just had to sit down and rest. i think reason was because i didn't drink enough water the night before, so wasn't really pumped up for the run. then neo, hui shan and wei jie came over to see how i was doing, ended up sitting on the track talking rubbish :p on the walk back to the grandstand, hui shan waved at a kid who was walking on the road, and the kid was so shy that she covered up her face hahaha the kid was quite cute... but we were all laughing at hui shan :p still on the track... me, neo and wei jie were walking in a row behind hui shan, and she was just talking and tying her hair, then 3 of us suddenly stopped, and she continued walking and tying her hair, and talking to herself :p it was damn funny lah!!! after that just was playing with tennis balls that we found lying around, managed to hit hui shan, who was at the top of the grandstand, from the bottom of the grandstand man, somemore she was standing up!!! hahaha never knew i was so accurate :p then go bishan hawker centre eat, then go mug. mugged till about 1.30, then shufang said she was hungry, so we trotted down to J8 and had macs. finally started mugging at abt 3 again. managed to do both physics and econs. the amount of studying i'm doing now is more than the 3 years of studying for final years from sec 1 to 3 man... but still no choice :( in secondary there was never really the threat of being retained, because it was relatively managable as long as u paid attention in class. uhhh then towards the end of mugging i got really sian lah, so started stealing stuff again :p seems whoever is sitting opposite me always get the full blast of my boredom, and since this time hui shan was sitting opposite me, i ended up stealing all of her stuff lah, and clever shufang sat beside me so she was safer :p

today, not really productive lah. woke up at 11, went out for my nephew's birthday party at my aunt's house at about 12.20, got home at about 3. then left for my parent's anniversary dinner at coca at 6.30, between that did only about 2 hours of solid work, which sucks lah, but then again tt's more than probably what i did for even 1 of my end of year exams back at sji hahaha

haiz... problems again man... don't wanna be a thief (some of you may know what i'm talking about)... it won't be good, or nice for that fact. shall talk about the anniversary of my blog at a later date, maybe on the day itself after complaining about my GP paper hahaha cheers!

hope shines in the distance...

Nickelback - Someday

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

this song is just... so scaringly relevant to me right now... not sure if she still comes here, but is there still a chance? maybe, hopefully, this so called "war" is just so stupid... cheers

don't say until like that lah...

hopefully the area CIs are having fun at the J's house now with the BBQ. didn't go coz from the way mum is talking nowadays, i highly doubt she would've let me go. and if i asked, probably get interrogated with the amount of work i've done today, and the previous days and blah blah. so anyway i'm still at home, taking a short break from work now. BBQ meant to be a farewell for julius and ta hoong, since they'll both be going NS soon. but from the way some people talk about ths bbq, it's as if we'll never see them again or something. sure we'll never see them again in the capacity of a CI, but a friend is still a friend, a CI is still a CI, a comrade is still a comrade.

but i guess still owe ta hoong a word of thanks. he was my NCO when i was in sec 1, and my CI all the way up till last year. this year i became his peer! felt rather odd i guess, but the good thing about being a josephian cadet, your CI is your friend, your buddy, which i think not many other units have. after training can laugh with them, play soccer with them, eat lunch with them, and all the sorts. so thanks to ta hoong for well... teaching me for 5 whole years, even though i only got to know him better this year, and i don't really remember his presence from sec 2 and 3, but i guess he was still out there somewhere hahaha cheers mate!

too much sleep isn't good either...

had a hell lot of sleep over the past 3 days (to make up for my 4 hours on ubin), but i still feel tired. sunday night slept from 11 to 11 (12 hours), then monday evening slept 5 to 8 (3 hours) and on monday night 11 to 7 (8 hours). and that totals to 23 hours!!! damn it nearly a whole day gone man... then today when in school i kinda felt drowsy again... hmmm but not exactly drowsy, it's that feeling where you are awake but your head just feels like drooping onto the table and your eyes want to close... oh well got school again tomorrow... wasted lee pin asked me to help at her unit (which fyi is all girls) for baton drills and lamp lighting, but then got lesson tomorrow, so nope hahaha would be another experience for me altogether yet again. need to start mugging soon man... maybe tomorrow after lessons... cheers!

i'm tired... are you?

area 15 sec 3 atc is over... that would make my counts 3 ATCs in one year... phew. well one thing i must mention is that every ATC i've been to since D'03 CIBTC has been a wet one. and this time around this chain was about to be broken, until when we were crossing from ubin to changi, where it suddenly started pouring like mad!!! hahaha somemore we were the last boat so we sway sway got caught in choppy waters and got water flying into my face every second.

anywayz uhhh... this camp... tiring as usual, but with more instructors so wasn't as tight as last time manpower wise. hmmm sji wasn't there, because the sec 3s were in OBS, also in ubin, and beatty and queenstown joined us. this time around had many fresh CIs out from J'04, 6 to be exact. but there were some D'03 CIs who didn't go for sec 2 one, altogether there was about 10 CIs who had never been for area 15 ATC before, so it was well... interesting i guess. alot of people i had gotten to know at sec 2 ATC weren't around, due to J2 life.

well was group CI of Juon together with weina, they were an interesting bunch, in that they had a hell lot of ideas in their head, and all had their own point of views, but just didn't dare to share them with the group. at times was wondering if i was the problem that caused them not to speak out loud. maybe i DO look a bit dao and scary... hmmm...

anywayz 1st day... was doing logistics again. but this time didn't need to go PA lah... THANK GOODNESS!!! just waited at jetty for YY and her "gang" to come along. then helped and directed them with the movement of jerry cans onto the log boats. this time around we're lucky, because it wasn't exactly low tide, as compared to back in june, where it was bloody tiring bringing them down to the damn boat, but now not so bad lah, not such a big difference. after that at ubin, directed them as they unloaded the boat and moved it all the way up to the lorry. haiz long process of logistics lah, at camp things got pushed back even though no tent pitching... at night had sentry from 4 to 5, slept from 2.40 - 3.40, which means 1 hour of sleep lah. next day was a bit zonked, but still can manage lah.

hmmm realised that my sis' has got the whole swordfish movie soundtrack on this comp, and it's not bad hahaha. anyway day 2 1st cycle went ATF, what i saw the cadets doing was what i had done at LLTC. brought back memories, thinking about how i went through it, because back then i was a hell lot weaker, with skinny arms and flabby legs hahaha 2nd shift was orienteering... walked quite a distance this time. but couldn't finish all the checkpoints lah, not enough time again. after that during 3rd cycle was free, supposed to help brendan soak the firewood, but we both ended up falling asleep in the bunk hahaha. so 1 more hour of sleep... at night, campfire at the beginning was quite alright lah, only towards the end that it got a bit draggy, but overall quite alright i guess considering a group starting planning for it only at the beginning of camp. after that op lollipop, was ok i guess... but yet again not enough time, coz campfire dragged on till quite late. this time at night had no sentry, but debrief went on till quite late, so ended up sleeping at 3.30, woke up at 5.30 coz i had to raise flags. so 2 hours.

morning wake up, had cases of missing mess tins and tommy stoves. damn irritated, but all of them were within our range of ability to find. cleaning of equipment was quite fast and smooth. damn it just found out i got a mosquito bite on my ankle... can't think of how the hell that was possible, but what's done is done... so all i can do is either scratch or endure!!! hahaha didn't have any problems with returning logistics, which is excellent!!! :) somehow seemed smoother than sec 2 one, excluding the walkie incident. didn't really observe the finale, coz was walking around gathering logistics, but i think it went smoothly, since it's quite spread out. walking out was no problem at all lah, could say that the 3rd day went very smoothly. we were ahead of schedule, and everything that needed to be done was being done, so it was quite a good day i guess.

wondering whether the way i talk kind of turns people off, coz sort of talked to a few people, and realise that they do pay attention, but it doesn't really hold for very long. oh well.. as usual here's my little list of statistics that i can remember...

1: number of dogs that roamed around campsite all day
3: number of days of camp
4: number of hours of sleep
5: number of times i lost and found my pen
6: number of talkies
15: number of compasses and maps
21: number of tents
64: number of jerry cans
uncountable: number of times i wanted to pump them but couldn't
uncountable: number of packets of maggi mee

aiyoh can't remember anything now man... too tired, eyes are getting heavy... looks like it's time to get my many many long overdue hours of sleep. Cheers!

not again...

got sec 3 ATC tomorrow, and i feel the same way as i did for the area 5 one, kind of sick and damn tired :( nose started running before chinese mock today... damn it should've used my flixonase. stupid crap... still haven't finished packing my bag yet, and not exactly looking forward to walking around singapore with such a big backpack... and i just feel tired... *yawn* Cheers.
