Back from Sentosa with a
burnt body. The
weather today was
great until afternoon when it started pouring. Luckily we left early. Now I'm feeling sleepy from all the energy taken away by the sun.
However, can't sleep yet. I've got one
patent I have to read and extract information from it. It's for my module which I fucking don't understand why I have to learn it. What does chemical engineering modules got to do with reading patents? Whatever, it's screwed.
Not going to update much today.

Had a short day in school, but a long day at the driving centre. How weird? haha!
Gym session today was a little special. Instead of going to the pool side gym,
Valentine, Qikang and I went to the guild house gym instead. The gym there wasn't really very good as compared to the pool side's. The gym was small and the equipment was limited. Luckily I managed to train my bicep and tricep.
So after gym, we decided to make full use of our $3 dollars. Hence, we used the guild house facilities. We went into the
steam room, sauna, cold and hot pool. It was pure relaxation. After today, we've decided to make use of the facilities after our gym session once every two weeks I guess.
Headed to
Bukit Batok for my driving lesson. Got to drive a
Civic today instead of the usual
City. It was a bit hard to control initially. But after a few rounds in the circuit, I got the hang of it. Did
Crank course and S-course today. Not bad I must say, needed to practice more. Reversing is definitely the problem. I'm not that bad at it, but it needs
HELL LOTS OF PRACTICE. The lesson ended with a sore leg, cause I had to do lots of speed control and the clutch was kinda hard to step on.
Anyway, waited for about half an hour for my driving simulator to start. It was basically me driving an automatic arcade car. It was funny cause we get to laugh at ourselves when we get into a heads-on accident without getting injured (that's dumb. but its funny).
I'm so lazy to continue blogging so shall end it here.

Well... Today's not a bad day. Just had to attend tutorial today cause I'm able to skip my
practical for
heat transfer today, it's once in a semester time off from that
damn stressed/f*cked up module.
Anyway, met up with
Eugene for lunch today. It was short, but still managed to catch up quite a bit with him. After lunch was
driving. Today's lesson was great man, did reversing and crank course training. I'm still not used to reversing, but I guess I'll get used to it with more practice. Especially so when I'm getting better at changing my gears.
Now... I really need to train for my
21KM. I don't want to run halfway and start walking. Running such a long run, not say really long when compared to 42km, really require damn lots of determination, discipline and mental strength. Having said that, its been a long time since I last had a training that requires lots of mental strength. I hope I can really pull it through the run without problem.
I guess I'm going to end my post here.

Right.. I guess it's really time I update my blog. I bet Zakkiyya will be thinking "Like Duh?!".
So.. I have been rather busy and rather unmotivated to blog. Everytime I log into blogger and a the text box, I would stare at it and it would stare right back at me. No words seems to be able to get out of my mind. Like now, I'm still stuck at what I'm supposed to type next. Haha! I think I'm going to take the entire night to type an update.
Well, school's been great so far. Understood most of the theories that were being taught. Stress are starting to build up, building up real fast.
Mid Semester test is nearing and it's really time for mugging, yet again. I want to score good results to pull up my GPA for this semester.
Another thing,
Standard Chartered marathon is coming again. Damn it, my ballot to collect my race pack at the floating platform failed.
Valentine actually managed to ballot successfully! What the fuck? He's definitely laughing at me. That idiot. Beside that, I haven't been training my stamina. I hope I can last throughout the entire 21km.
Thinking about driving, I've finally booked my
Traffic Police Test. It's on the 27th Jan. I really hope that I can pass it at my first go. I'm really anticipating driving myself to school everyday! Besides, my dad has decided to sponsor me the car and petrol after I get my license. How great is that!
(p.s
Zakkiyya, Yew Chuan and Jeslyn! I'll send you home after school, on the day I first drive to school).
Well, guess that'll be all I'm going update. Rather satisfy that I didn't take the whole night to type this post. Haha!
(p.s missed the days in Melbourne)
