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.

i shall do a quick post.
CS Production has come to an end.
I had my fair share of fun. it was definitely an interesting experience, an eye-opener actually, cos i've never been in a theatre production before. so it was pretty cool seeing the preparation process and actually been part of it. it was definitely quite weird having to turn at corners when we can just walk right through. had to exercise some imagination. but it got quite habitual afterwards.
i take my hat off to the people who put in effort. i believe that everybody did, whether i have a good impression of them or not, whether they were good leaders, good listeners or not for some of people that i actually interact with most of the time, i'm sure we all put in effort.
anyway, i have to admit that propsters as a whole was not efficient but ah well, i think we were good during the friday night performance, rather not that good during the matinee and great during the final show. im not gng to touch park benches for quite a while. heh. oh and some people thought there were machines to clear and put the props. i take that as a compliment :)
but i really felt that the final show was great. even though i couldn't watch the show, but i could feel the energy on stage and in the audience. and the xie mu was like woah. could really tell everybody was happy it ended, and on a great note.
and how can i end this post without talking about the propsters' island? the island is dimly lighted with this pathetic blue light and most of the time propsters are there. and we are totally capable of making ourselves comfortable everywhere. haha. but i don't think i will miss that place. i need light, like to erm photosynthesize or sth.
ok it was supposed to be a quick post. so i thank cs for the opportunity to be involved in this first ever cs theatre production, for the slice of very nice cake on my bday (which happened to be the first day of the show 27th march), for making me more appreciative of being full and good food (cos the food was really really horrible, so horrible i was never full and constantly hungry) and for letting me spend my bday more meaningfully than i would have (probably go school go out for dinner at swensens and go home sleep -.-).
i will wait for gladine to send me pictures then i post. she took a photo of me buying my first 2 bottles of alcohol. 2 for $9.90 ok. haha. and they are still in the fridge. buy for the sake of buying -.-
ah ok byebye!

my aim for 'A' levels: 8 distinctions
there, i've put it down in words and i'm gna work towards it. i've set an intensive regime to help myself gear up for attaining my goal. i hope it works.
anyway, it's been a long time since i blogged. i decided to blog now cos i figured the i should blog one last time before i turn 18 next friday (this is a very very subtle hint to you that my bday is next friday).
it seemed like nth much went on in my life since i last blog but it seemed so busy. probably cos whatever happened been like pretty much the same. school, studies, sailing, cs production dadada. been busy, but satisfied with my busy life. some downs here and there, but relatively fine. oh god my summary skill rocks. i jus basically summarised my life for the past 3 weeks in this tiny paragraph -.-
it's the march hols now im dng my share of work, exercise, rest and relax. yu le bai fen bai is great (: i'm watching zhong ji san guo now. ive decided to keep MIT for later cos the stories are per episode so i can watch those anytime. but zhong ji san guo is like once a week so once a week of hunk watching is perfectly fine and i can totally fit that into my intensive regime :D

HELLO! busybusy week.
monday - first cardio kick-mix lesson. i inititally thought that the class will be full of not very young people and me and jolene will be like so out of place but it turned out alright. there was a wide age range. got us in our 10s. got 20s 30s 40s and the instructor is in her 50s. lol. it was a good workout. they should incoroporate this into pe. heh. tmr got lesson :) yay.
tuesday - i attended my first physics tutorial. if u rmb, i mentioned that i have to miss h2 physics tutorial to attend my h3 lecture at hwachong. so there was no lecture cos it was lab week and i attended tutorial for the first time. how exciting.
wedsnesday - there was house comm selection. frankly speaking, i really dun give much of a damn. cos ultimately, the house comm is part of sc so wdv they plan or carry out will be like u knw as a whole council. the house comm is just impt for the whole rarh rarh thing in each house. and yah since when have i been enthu about hse stuff? or sch stuff for tht matter. and some of them were talking abt bonding the 4 hses blahblah which i think is really quite crappy. cos seriously, u think hse competition will destroy any friendships that have been fostered in the first four junior high years? if yes, then that ain't a true friendship. i guess the house animosity thing in dhs isnt strong like in other schools because we have alrdy known one another before being splitted in hses, instead of being splitted into houses even before we got to knw anyone. had sailing. finally handed in license application form but not paid -.-
thursday - I WENT HOME REACHED HOME AT 3PM AND WATCHED YU LE BAI FEN BAI JUST NICE GOT HU YU WEI AND TANG YU ZHE. SUPERBLY SEXY :D
friday - ok la nth special also. couldn't gen xi cos my h3 ended at 7 at the other end of the world. and hwachong was so lively on friday. they were having some mass house dance competition or sth i suppose.
saturday - lian pai 2. i wasn't late :D but as sieu ping says, nth to be proud of. it's my responsibility to turn up on time. and me and jolene were just attacking sp's sweets. gummies to be exact. and i found this wrapper with no sweet, and another with 2 sweets. anyway, propsters screwed up quite a bit during lian pai. due to lack of practice, last minute changes and some lack of brains. seriously some people are starfishes in disguise. and then me and shunjie came up with a brilliant idea for a magical clock weather thingy. heh.
still saturday (new para cos i dun want the para to be so long) - went to watch marley and me with my parents and jolene. good show. i mean how bad can a show about humans and dogs be? puppy marley is uber cute and dog marley is uber beautiful. ok if u have a dog, i suppose this show will trigger memories and a thinking. and it makes me appreciate hugo more. cos marley eats fax machines. hugo doesn't, or maybe thts cos i dun hv a fax machine at home but nvm. ok but anyway, SPOILERS. marley passed away at the end cos of some twisted stomach and partially of old age and john (owen wilson) had to make the decision to put him to sleep. it kinda make me think about the time when it's time for hugo. i mean it will come sooner or later however much i dun want it to. and i was just wondering if i will hv the courage to put him to sleep if there is ever such a need. and i wonder how i will react to the fact tht hugo is not ard anymore some day. and if i will ever have another dog again (cos u knw after the first dog pass away many people can't bear the pain and will refuse to have another dog).
still saturday - i watched role model. ok it's just this really typical nc16 show with lots of vulgarities and 2 scenes of nudity (topless) and yah basically like this lor. worth the laugh and all. addresses problems about family issues and cohesion and stuff like tht, but the vulgarities overwhelm all the underlying messages. lol.
sunday - ): tmr is monday ): i need to get back to work. byebye.
qiang qiang is playing on the radio. how apt.
