oh damn..
I'm getting so freaking stressed up.
With all the reports that I have to hand up, I could hardly take a breather.
So Wei Xiang put this in his MSN message, is Poly life worse than JC?
Honestly, my answer is actually no difference. Comparing the course I am in and those in JC, we're just as busy. Busy handing up out assignment on time..
Sigh..

I swear I almost got an heat stroke. The weather is simply horrendous. In addition to that, I had to wear a jumper to raft. It's nuts, seriously. Nevermind that, I'm random.
Anyway, I must comment that today's event was quite a failure. There isn't any fair play at all. What's with the imaginary line shit. You call rafting from lane 4 to lane 1 an imaginary line? You call, having d7 banging to my boat, an imaginary yet fair path? What load of bullshit. What sort of judge are they man! It's so clear that d7 banged into our boat yet they weren't disqualified and they got second and we got a fifth? It's it's crazy that you have to pay a sum of $50 just to lodge a protest which is not of any use. That's shit.
Brr.. Shits happen..
Anyway, I've got abrasion on my arms. I didn't know it initially. It was only when I rolled up my sleeves to get an even tan that I realised that I have bruised marks on my arms.
Well, here's the F3000, the raft CLS built.
So here are the pictures taken by
Huiting on the speed boat. FYI, she's the race starter.
I seriously have to comment about this photo. It's the best photo taken. It looks as though Shona and I were on a holiday. Great photography huiting

Let's see..
It is already the end of the week and the week after next will be the start of my 3 weeks holidays. Well, I suppose holidays won't be holidays. With all the reports that I have to rush, 3 weeks would definitely not enough for me to enjoy.
Sigh..

I have to seriously push myself further. However, with limits of course.
I'm already pushing myself to get back the fitness I used to have in the past...
Just today, I went back to my Secondary school to visit my canoe team.
I had a reminiscence of myself being a canoeist: being able to run like without even getting stitches; being able to do pull ups; being able to do push ups like no body else business. It felt great.
However, just look at me now. I'm trying so hard to get back the fitness I once had. Guess where it landed me? A unfit guy whose muscle were once a rubber band now turned into a rope which has already broken. Unable to do my pull ups, chest pain after hundreds of push ups. It sucks.
When I looked at my juniors training it made me feel rather inferior all of a sudden.
If only I could have my fitness back once again.
For your information, I've lost all my strength after pushing myself over the limit during canoeing training; when I was doing my pull ups. It totally sucks. Shall learn from experience, train with limits and nothing will go wrong.

Going to Malaysia is simply mind torturing. I've sat in the car for nearly 3 and 1/2 hours. 2 and 1/2 hrs at Malaysia, Johor, checkpoint and another 1/2 an hour at Singapore's. The rest of the time is the time for me to get home from the checkpoints.
To sum it all up, it's almost a wasted day.
Well, shall end with a short post. So Bye!

Pardon me for the lack of update. I was so tied up with report and report and more reports. To make the matter worst, most of the reports are due next week. So i'm basically trying to finish up my report as fast as possible.
Oh well, let's just talk about Friday. I went for dragon boat training. It was hell lot of fun. Instead of a vigorous trainings like the previous training, we were having a very light training. A game of water captains ball. In fact it was for charity. I slacked in the pool waiting for my team to play with the other. First round we lost but second we own. It was fun fun fun..
The next day, which was Saturday, was actually our water training. Hey! it was great. At least I've gain experience for a actual dragon boat training rather than a for fun dragon boating. You'll know what I mean. For your information, there's one thing I hate about dragon boat. The seat is so damn hard that it caused my butt to ache like hell. It's like having a bruise on my butt. Oh yeah! I've got uneven tan and it feels good getting dark again. haha!
Well, shall end here. bye!

Went to SPSU to help out today; to build the raft for the upcome river raft race at Singapore River.
Let me recall. When I reached the club room, quite a number of them were there. Mostly wet hair. LOL! and the raft was almost built finished. Well, that's what I first thought. It was only until afternoon that I realised that we have to build a second boat.
I came to realised, building of boat not only needed brainstorming; technique and skills are vital too.
Anyway, that day was supposed to be
Social committee outing. It was a day for us, the social committee members to bond. haha! We head down to orchard and had dinner together and it was a great experience.
haha! So here are the photos of my committee XD. My "boss" (Yiling) made us all a ring each as an identity and our names are curved on it. Rock on Social!

Well, my hand took ages to heal. I could barely straighten my hand and lift it up. The pain is so sharp that it's almost unbearable. But still I had to bear with it.
For your information, the aches came right after canoeing training. It seems to get worsen each day.
So today have had dragon boat training. It was fun, I must say. Training were almost the same as my secondary school; The pull up style, need not do aimlessly, it just doing sets of 8. At least there's a goal set for me. However, one thing made me feel rather embarrassed. I could not do pull ups! Well, it's solely because my hand aren't heal just yet. I've got absolutely no strength to pull at all. It's saddening. Lucky, I'm still able to my push ups. It was a great experienced though.
Oh yeah! We did rowing at the school's swimming pool. I'm a right rower by the way. It's so cool!
It's a pity I couldn't stay back for the weights training. I wanted to experience the intensity of dragon boat training. However, I could not stay cause my family had decided to celebrate mother's day earlier. So yeah..
Well, that's about all.

Well, like what I had planned to do; I attended canoeing training in my new school. I would say the training routine is definitely much different from what I've went through in my secondary school life. And it'll definitely be much different from the training I went through in the short JC life in SR, I guess.
It's definitely much more tiring and causes greater pain. The training was to run outside the parameter of the school which was 3.2km, after which was pull up. This is where the difference comes in.
The whole boys squad, consisting of 71 people, had to do pull ups that will have to be accumulated to 1200. That was sick, but yet not impossible. However, not everyone seems to be interested to do it. It's basically the more enthusiastic one doing and contributing. The rest are just standing at the back. Only did once which was probably less then 10 I supposed. The enthusiastic ones have to slog and struggle their way to hit the target. Well, at least we managed to hit out target.
For your infomation, i had a hard time bathing. My muscle are so tensed up that i could barely raise my hand. Sigh..
Shall end here for now.

Yeah! I'm back with the first post of the month. Been lazing around lately and I wasn't in the mood to blog anyway. With so many things that happen. How could I not blog?
In fact, that wasn't the real reason why I'm blogging today. I'm using blogging as an excuse to start my study later. Actually, I'm not even motivated to start study at this time now (12.39pm). Just woke up not long ago.
Sigh.. So here goes
Shona, Ping En and I met up for Hui Ting's birthday at around 9.30.
We're going to surprise her at her very own house in her room.
So, we got the maid to bring us in. Crept into her room and sung
the "happy birthday" song. She was surprised, and we succeed.She was Happy yet embarrassed. Happy for the fact that we went to her house to surprise her and partially because I was there (I told her I couldn't make it for her birthday). Embarrassed because we caught her in her ugliest moment. Her just woke up look. XD
She chased us out of her room and went to wash up. So while waiting for her to wash up, we waited at the living room, making ourselves at home. After which, we left for Bukit Timah's Piper's Pie for lunch.
Alright. Finished blogging for today.. Time to study.. Sigh..
