these 3 days have been filled with competitions. and losing them -.-

so sailing 'A' Div was from tuesday to friday. tues and weds for boys and thurs and fri for girls. well, so both teams did well enough such that you see our name on the ranking paper and you can find us pretty fast if you look from the bottom of the list. haha. ok la we kinda expected it, so no complains. it was an interesting experience though.

im 26th out of 28. heh. but my personal best is 16 ok. SIXTEEN LEH. chio.

oh anyway, the wind and current conditions for both days were pretty strong and i had to retire early on thurs cos i injured my leg. so i only did 3 our of 5 races. so after i unrigged and showered, i decided to walk down to see if i could see the others sail. so i walk walk walk. then i saw the sailboats so i walked down to the beach to go to the breakwater to get a better view. then i saw this topless man swimming so of course i turn away in case he come ka chiao me. then i turn and i saw this old ang moh couple sunbathing NAKED. like WTH. naked. totally naked. urgh. good thing they were like faced down la. wah piang. i was damn freaked out. i just turned around and walked back, trying to pretend i didn't see anything. freaking hell. imagine u turn and see 4 ass cheeks staring at you. the guy not scared later got some crab crawl out and pinch his ahem meh? eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

ok so friday was pretty much the same ba. sailed the remaining 2 races. finished pretty early. and mr tan said we didn't have to stay for prize presentation. he didn't want to stay also lor. haha. so he drove us out and the 3 of us went for lunch at pizza hut. horrible service. but filling nice food to satisfy our hunger. heh. after that i went to eat again with my family.

ok so that pretty much marks the end of my sailing life and frankly speaking, i'm really glad about it. i must admit though, i did have happy memories sailing and it was an interesting sport to be introduced to. i won't regret joining this cca, but it's time it ended. so yeah, byebye sailing :) lifejacket for sail, any takers?

ok today was innovateIT. too much waiting, too little stuff done. we didn't win, not even get into the finals. but it was a very funny day. there was this guy who brought a ba zhang to eat, and we just kept niaoing and talking about him the whole day. it was damn funny. some teams had pretty interesting ideas. it was quite an eye-opener. and the food was good. especially the cheesecake. kinda regret eating only one piece ): and they didn't let me have the fruits ): haha.

ok i am very tired. i shall go enjoy the last half an hour of hu yu wei on tv. byebye.

i got a B for PW.

if i say i'm unaffected or feeling pretty neutral about the B, then i'm lying. 'cos i'm really pretty sad and disappointed about the B, not that i was confident of an A, but there's nth wrong with hoping.

i was pretty much stoning throughout the whole bus ride home, thinking about the B, or rather, the lack of the A. i don't really feel any regrets, pretty much cos i don't know what i'm suppose to regret about. partially cos i don't really remember the course of doing PW and partially cos i don't know what went wrong. it may have been the presentation, Q&A, PI, EOM or WR. i don't know and maybe will never know. it could have been something wrong with the group work, it could have been something wrong with my individual work. there are a 1001 possibilities.

then i realise, i've got the negative emotions not because i didn't get an A for PW, but because, at the point when i saw the freaking B on the slip of paper, it just hit on me that i will never be able to attain the 8 distinctions which i set as a goal to achieve, that i know 8 distinctions is impossible even without trying.

but i guess i can't do anything about it now. i wave goodbye to that goal of 8 distinctions. i pasted the slip of paper on my mirror where i will see it everyday, to remind myself that i have 1 B too many, and that there's no space for more.

well, congratulations to all who got your A. now, excuse me while i go get my 6 other 'A's.
