It’s the end of week 2 already! Soooo fast!

I’m feeling so screwed. Everything’s just so messed up. And I overslept this morn, woke up in a shock at 10am, missing my 214 class. Haiz, 2nd time major oversleep. I seriously did not hear my 2 alarms, I didn’t even haf the slightest feel that I might oversleep, if not I would have asked my mum to give me morning call. So feel like slapping myself, woke up having a shock of my life, how I wanted to rewind the clock but wads done is done, felt so lost, dunnoe wad to do.

Haven’t been doing my tutorials nor paying attention during classes. It’s not that I dun wanna do it, I realli wanna, but I do it too slowly, wasting time in between. Sucky time management. Time to wake up my idea! So many things undone, I dunnoe where to start. Maybe by doing my tutorials would be a gd start.

Nanyang Arts Festival opening ceremony this wk on wed & thur. The committee’s a fun grp of pple, esp the biz mags which I work closer with. Despite the tiring days & the onli 1 hr sleep on wed nite, I did haf fun helping to prepare for the event. I feel the programmes for wed was very well done, managing to capture quite a sizeable audience. The onli pity was the lack of publicity. But all in all, it was a great success! If I had the time, I would like to try out being a programmer, which I tink will be much more fun experience, but a pity, time does not permit.

Mix training tmr at 9am. Better be off to zzzzz. And this time, I asked teddy to give me morning call, juz in case.

I want to sort out the mess!

Have been rather sleepy lately. These day, have been surrendering to sleep at only 11 plus. And I just had a 3 hours nap after training juz now.

Todae’s training was rather sucky. Realli gotta thank my right side yingying for that reassuring hand and smiles. And also thanks emily (who was sitting behind me) for her encouragement. Couldn’t help it, I just felt so useless, I never felt so emo before during training. I’m trying hard to shadow infront, to row faster, but still I really couldn’t bring up the pace, my rowing suxs big time. And thur training, I couldn’t complete even 1 set of 12 clean & jerk with the 10kg weight without support, so shitty. May tmr’s training be a better one.

Removed stitches this morning. It was bearable, the wound kinda felt weird for a while after removing the stitches, but after a while it’s ok.

And so I finally went for training today! No swimming todae, yay!~ First run in the past 2 weeks. It was ok, except my knees cui-ed for the open-up at the end. Sometimes I find it easier to run after a long break from running, its weird, but haf felt that way many times already.

My studies are a mess now! And so is my hall room! My hall room mirrors my study life to quite a large extent. When once in a blue moon, my hall room is neat, it would be the time when my studies are more or less on schedule. But now, my hall room is in a huge mess and so are my studies. This is only week 1!! And the 2nd day of sch!

Time to get started with AB214 writing pre-test now!! Just released at 5.30pm today but haf to hand in by tmr 5.30pm!

Time to sort out the mess!!

1st day of sch todae…Monday is my 2nd most slackest day and the only day with a 4 hr break in between…2 lessons todae, AA205 & BF307…

205 sounds rather scary with the very impt iCEE project & even the prof said that 205 is a tough subj…I think I’m taking a huge risk, taking 205 & 202 concurrently, especially since 205 uses quite a lot of 202 concepts…but no choice, gotta stick to this plan if I wanna apply for GIP…at least gekling’s taking 205 & in the same class, but diff project grp….& liting lent me her 205 and 202 notes…perhaps it’ll be ok…

307 sounds even more scary…the prof was trying to make us drop 307, haas…but wad the prof said does make lotsa sense, 307 is definitely NOT a subj tt can slack & resort to last min work…in fact, lotsa time gotta be devoted before every 307 seminar…but I decided to take 307 liao, since I also quite like derivatives & both belinda and ye en also recommend…decided & shall move on frm here…

Removing stitches tmr at 8am….hopefully it won’t hurt, don’t think it will….but still the phobia exists…

Not again. It still comes even when I haven’t been training for almost 2 weeks already! And now it moves to the right side also. Realli dunnoe wad's causing it this time. The onli heavier things I’ve carried during these few days is the 6 tins of eggrolls, and the 4 textbooks, which is not really heavy to anyone. Why are my shoulders even lousier than normal pple who don’t exercise?? I’d rather it be muscle ache, tt’s more normal….but its not muscle aching, its hard to explain either….Freaking lousy shoulders, can’t u juz be a lil stronger for 1 more sem….arrghhh…after so many years still liddat, I tink its gg to stay forever, even when i dun row boat…its all the sec3 obs round-ubin kayaking & super heavy obs backpack fault!....booooo....

Sch’s starting in 2 days time!

I’m still in the lazy ‘dun feel like doing anything at all’ mood….lazing around the house, either watching TV or sleeping. It’s high time to start adjusting back to sch life. Time to start waking up early & stop taking naps during the day. 1st lesson on mon at 8.30am!

Been procrastinating a lot these days, & I gotta kick this old habit…For my new year resolution is to avoid last minute work….So today, I must finish up my resume & submit it by today! Been delaying it for weeks, ever since exams ended until now….the 7 Jan deadline is nearing, & today I must be done with it!

Good-bye 2007, welcome 2008! A fresh new start! =)

2007 did not start off wif a gd first half for me….yr 1 sem 2 was my worst semester, pulling down my gpa quite badly…internship at KPMG was one big big disaster, receiving terribly lousy appraisals of which all point to far far under performance which was a big shock & big wake-up call to me….

Fortunately 2007 did end on a much better note….yr 2 sem 1 was not an easy sem, with overload to 27aus, but thankfully it was also my best semester…

My 2007 resolutions were to:

1. Study hard consistently, avoid last minute work & aim for BnF 2nd spec…..This I feel I have not really achieved, haf not managed to kick off my bad habit, yr 2 sem1 was full of last minute work & getting BnF 2nd spec was more due to my A level results rather than my gpa.

2. Train hard for db….which I feel still needs much more determination, after 1.5 yrs in db, I still can’t row with the proper technique…

3. Practice seriously for golf & get my PC by Jul & handicap by Dec….this is not at all achieved, for I have stopped my sun afternoon golf lessons since the start of 2007 & I do not recall playing any golf during the whole of 2007…its quite a waste coz come jul 2008, I will never get to use the club under my dad’s membership anymore…

4. Run StanChart Half Marathon non-stop within 2.5hrs…it was quite a lot of long distance running for the 2nd half of 2007…mizuno run wif my bro though onli 10km was ultimate cui…but managed army half marathon in abt 2hr 27mins…& almost 6hrs for StandChart Full Marathon…thks to db teammates, would not haf survived these runs without them…

5. Blog everyday….I shall need to blog more often…I feel blogging helps reflect on wad u haf done for the day, which helps curb wasting time & procastination….

The chapter for 2007 has closed…And a new chapter has just began for 2008…

For 2008, here goes my new year resolutions (in order of importance)

1. Study hard consistently, do tutorials on time, pay attention in class, no more last minute work…Take more interest in studies, find back that drive & motivation to strive for first class honours (which seems still so far far away)….& Aim for internship at E & Y as well as Aim for GIP China in year 3 Sem 1.

2. Train hard for Dragonboat…watch that punching arm, keep it straight….excute full stroke, twist body at the end, to keep punching arm straight….watch that recovery, use top arm and not pulling arm….& Aim for 1 medal…I tink I’m the onli one in my batch who hasn’t rowed in a finals that haf won a medal b4….If I can get GIP China, this will be my last sem in DB, make it a good one.

3. Blog everyday….live everyday to the fullest!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! Happy 2008! =) Let 2008 be an even better yr!
