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.

This week paparazzi is…

Well… its so exciting to see good friends of yours becoming couples. 1 couple, 2 couples, 3 couples… and now, it seems like one more is on its way. 

Speculation… I have to say, but it is based on substantial evidence and arguments. It seems like its coming. We shall see… TS&VS… hope its real… and get together soon!!!

New phone

I got myself a new phone, Samsung Omnia II. Though I did not spend a penny, I am not very happy, the reason being simple — I like it simple. This phone has too many applications, and it takes some time for me in exploring. Now still in progress.

Samsung Omnia II

 Initially, wanted this phone because it can view pdf file, and I had never take into consideration that the file viewing will be rather small for me to read. And, my main purpose initially was to read my FYP materials once I have this phone. But, I think I have to rethink. Anyway, I should be happy… Hopefully, this phone is not that difficult to use.

Exploring exploring…

Fast Updates

Busy busy busy…. That is all I can describe for the past few weeks after SCAMP. And sorry folks, for not updating my blog, and it has to take a little more time for me to post the pictures on SCAMP. 就 busy ah, cannot help it.

Impromtu-ing, and I decided to talk about some of the events that I had been through over the past few weeks.

Lets start off with OCC. Well, I forgot how many OCCs I have attended, probably my 8th? Really forgot already. But anyway, the feeling remained the same after OCC. Backache, joint pain, etc… came to haunt me. Do I sound like I am too old? Probably. And also, the feeling of getting a free workout and helping the old folks to raise funds is indeed a fulfilling one. =D

Next, lets talk about being a relief teacher in riverside secondary school. To be frank, I do not like their culture, probably due to the atmosphere over there. Teachers do not smile, I said hello, no reply, and I smiled, I was given a expressionless look. Argh… Demoralized. However, there was still fun, and I really enjoyed myself. I got to know many people, and I had gained alot of experience as well. A sweet 4 weeks as a relief teacher will come to an end this coming friday, and I will update more about this, and some character analysis. Excited!!

Finally, with a moment of adrenline rush, I went to play tennis with my friends, and it was my 2nd time playing, and it was since I was 13. Really had fun playing tennis, and I seemed to addict to it. Everytime I hit the ball, I dreamt I was playing in front of a packed indoor court. Dream dream dream…. I want to play tennis soon.

Alright, time is chasing after me. Gotta do some constructive work.

Having so much fun at the wrong time

Enjoy being busy, but now abit too stressed. Feels like taking a short break now.  I can only blog now while uploading lots of photos on facebook.
