Arriba Andale

1st day of ICT, and it was rather slack, still, and we were released early. Nowhere to go, and suddenly og outing came into my mind. Yup, I rejected them last week because I thought my ICT would end late, and so today last minute I told them I can go. =D 

Well, went to Nelson’s condo, and it was good. There is Karaoke facility and it seems quite updated. Speedy surely sang their hearts out. I did too, and sang a few songs, and 走音too. Ought to improve, and one day have to perfect it. But too bad, I don’t live in that type of condo, otherwise surely book everyday to train myself.

During the K-session, we celebrated all the December Babies birthdays, if I am not wrong. I think I did not get in touch with them for quite some while, and I forgot all their birthdays, and I even remember the name of one of my freshies wrongly. Ohh… I am quite embarrassed by it.

Speedy, arriba, arriba, ándale, ándale.

Confessions of a non-shopaholic

I went to shop just now … and I duno when it was the last time I did that. Once I alighted from Somerset MRT, wah… very crowded, its just like another Comex or Sitex, or some free gifts going around. Well, perhaps it was the new shopping centre, 313 that is drawing such a big crowd.

Inside 313, it was just like a normal shopping centre, and the store at UniQlo is really packed, and it needed crowd control in the store. People are queuing up to go in, and it seems like good deals are really happening down there. Avoided there, squeeze through human traffic really not my cup of tea.

Travelled to Heeren, Far East and finally Ion, and eventually got myself a shirt, 2 pairs of berms and a pair of jeans. Well, got myself something, and now I understand how girls feel. Shopping is really nice, but provided money not an issue and of course, no human traffic.

Delayed Friday the 13th

Today was bad. Not everything was wrong, just a particular one, and it made my day feel screwed.

I went for a run in the evening, before meeting my friends at Sakura for buffet dinner. I told my sister before hand, to let her know that I will be running so she will take note of not locking the metal gate. I had a great run despite having a minor stomachache, and I was so glad that I completed the run, and had the idea of rushing back home to  have my stress relieved. But as soon as I reached back home, I realised my sis locked up both the metal gate and the wooden door. And, I only brought the key for the wooden door out. So shit, stuck in me!

Frustrated, without any money with me, I ran down to the coffeeshop and borrowed coins from some uncles to call my sis and my mum. My sis hp cannot be engaged and the telephone ate my coins! I called my mum, and she was having dinner at Northpoint, and I asked her to rush back, because I am meeting my friends at 7pm! Late for sure. But the most urgent thing to do is, I am having a great upset with my tummy. I went inside the toilet of the coffeeshop and it was dirty, and the most important thing is, no toilet paper! And the next nearer coffeeshop was like so far away! So shit, stuck in me still!

I ended up waiting outside my door, waiting for my mum to return, enduring one of the longest stomachache I have ever had. I was cursing and swearing, but only hopelessly and helplessly praying that my mum will be teleported back as soon as possible. Waiting and waiting, a long torturing time, about an hour plus, at about 7+pm then my mum came back.

And, I was still in thoughts of what to do first, to call my friends to apologise or to go end my tormentous moment. Ended up I did the former but my friends hp cannot be engaged as well. Forget it, and I went ahead to relieve myself. Maybe its the endurance that made me feel very sick for the rest of the day. I went to Sakura later and ended up having no appetite. Its buffet, all great food!! But I ate a little only, and, I had to visit the washroom again and again. Now, back home, still having the same problem.

Depressed. Stomachache, faster go away.

Ended, finally

Are girls generally weaker in Mathematics? Or, girls just simply worry too much? Why does my student said she find the paper hard and she don’t think she will do well in her paper, while my other 2 male students felt ok about the paper without having serious problems? After I received Chloe’s message, I am really worried about her. Hopefully when her A’Level results are out, it will be fine.

Seriously speaking, I hate seeing my students do badly.

All the best to Chloe, Johnathan and Daryl.

Run Run

I had a run yesterday, training for the 1st time for my upcoming 10km run. Result is not good, because I have not been running for the past one month, and I can feel that my stamina has dropped drastically. 1 hour for 10km, thats abit way too long I felt. I am such a slow runner now. Gotta train on Tuesday morning, and I guessed the only time that I can run before this saturday. Hope I will do well.

Just came back from gym, and an asumptuous dinner. Teochew Muai (porridge)… Argh… body aching

Tinker tinker

Not little stars, obviously. I have many questions now, and seriously none I can explain to myself.

People said I looked very stress, very emo. I don’t deny, but I am still myself… The unchanged tall, lanky, 1.87m  独一无二， 空前绝后，前不见古人，后不见来者的 me. Just that I am still in the midst of adjusting myself to the year 4 environment. Year 4, its really a different year I feel.

老了
累了
要睡了
不想了
3 consecutive tuitions await me tomorrow.

Greedy greedy

I can’t believe that I took up 2 new tuition assignments last week, and now I have 4 students, all taking A Levels in a month time! Somemore, the 2 new students requested for 2 times a week. Well, I can only blame myself for being greedy. Still, I hope I can provide them with the help that they need.

This coming tuesday, D.O midterm test, followed by my FYP 2nd presentation on Friday. Oh gosh, all the stressed hours just squeezed into one week, and now, I guess I have to work doubly hard for this week. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong.

The greedy algorithm don’t work for me.

All work but no play makes me a dull boy

I need to go back into some sporty action soon, after recent busy times over both family and academic matters.

Nike Run is also coming soon. Need to do some running also.

230909-240909

2 days ago, I went to sign up for the Nike 10km Human Race. It was of an impromtu decision as I realised I need to start taking part in such competitions. I have always ran leisurely, alone or accompanied by my friends, but have never really get into the mentality of challenging myself. I have mentioned I wanted to run this, wanted to run that, but eventually ended up a NATO(no action talk only). This year, I wanted to run for Marathon, but ended up clashes with my Reservice. Duno whether its a good news or a bad news. Still, with this, I hope this will be the stepping stone for my future running competitions in longer distances.

And, the opportunity cost of signing up isn’t that small. I missed the online registration and had to queue up at Wisma to sign up. The registration started at 11am, and as a Singaporean, I understand how things worked. I woke up at around 8am and went to Wisma at around 930am to queue up. As expected, I was the 96th person to be on the queue, and I finally made the registration and the payment at about 1pm! In the process, I was quite pissed off with some ‘Student Union’ people who were in front of me. Their queue numbers were liked 100+ 200+ and they obviously cut the queue (I did not realise until we were supposed to return back the stickers). Initially, the Security stopped them. But, after some conversation going on, and from what I know, the negotiation still benefits them. They were told to register at the terminal(self online registration) as of their friends with smaller queue numbers, meaning all of them will use the same terminal. Well, come on these people, where are your integrity? Is this how you portray how NUS students behave? Moreover, please do not give reasons like “my friend forgot to take the queue number for me and so I got a bigger queue number after that” or “sorry, but we in a rush”, and well, who is not rushing for time? Anyway, ranting over, just dun like such people giving such reasons to make them sound as if people owed them a favour. And, I shall look forward for the run soon, and hopefully the human traffic wun affect much of my run.

Soon after that, I had an OG outing. The outing motive, to get everyone to study! Ehh.. just a random thought, because I realised we had too much fun, and neglected studies for some time. In the end, 2 seniors and 5 freshies turned up, not so bad, but I was totally off momentum in my studies, did nothing much during the 3-4 hours session, probably had used to slacking during holidays. Nevermind, I still have Saturday and Sunday, considering Thursday had just ended and Friday is going to be burnt. Okay, carry on… later that night we went to support Toinh at UCC, as he was performing there, a guitar concert. I can felt the class when I entered and listened to the guitar performance, but when I heard my freshies were shouting Toinh’s name on and off, the classy feel gone…haha… and I really can’t stand one of my freshies, LaiKiu because he slept in the concert!! And his dressing was like… what!!! t-shirt, shorts and slippers. Haiz… A troublesome freshie.

Back to today, or yesterday, I tried to do my tutorial for almost the whole day, but obviously not constructive enough, otherwise it wun be whole day on tutorial. Sad, and I went to play soccer at the cage, as usual on Thursday night. Well, it was a good team performance that we showed up just now. I was quite happy with our overall performance, less some unsatisfactory mentality shown by some. Anyway, I realised I had wrote a very long post. Had never done so for… some time.

Later today, I will be having Swensen Buffet at Ion, and followed by Brenda’s and Audrey’s Birthday party. Like I mentioned, Friday was burnt for so many happening stuffs. Alrite, thats all folks….

Speedy once more

Yesterday, I went for another movie outing with my SOW og, Speedy!!!! We watched the movie, “The ugly truth”, and seriously, if you are not an open-minded person, this is definitely not a good show to you. Otherwise, you will keep laughing your heart out.

This movie was quite lame, in one way or another, and also full of dirty jokes. But, it did tell us the ugly truth. The ugly truth about people who are superficial in looks( But certainly I believe its for 1st impression and hopefully I am right).

The details of the show I shall not described… And I just feel that I have difficulty in expressing my thoughts again.

Another Speedy outing is coming up soon.
