Aww.
Scandal of the week guys?

Haha.
Just kidding.
This is just a funny picture
Wen Ting, why you always look so funny?







I feel.
that my feelings for some fo my friends, involve the word love.
guys, girls
whatever

I love alot of people.
And there's no shame in that.

Of course.
Naming them here would be inappropriate.

Why.

Just because you feel that way about them, doesnt mean they do.
So its kinda weird to be randomly naming people you love here.
Parents not counted of course
And God isnt a person.
So yeah

go figure

Isn't it interesting how everyone will somehow have their own unique way of motivating themselves and also, on a totally diferrent field, copoing and adaptation methods.

I find my motivation very weird.
Weird. And probably very dumb.
Like, REALLY.

Today's example.
Training.
Ran to Sunset Way.
I did traffic.
Truth be told, I hate being the first aider at the BACK while running.
Forests, and trekking is fine.
But I hate doing first aid for this.

I had pyrosis (heartburn)
Redundant, but it really felt like my heart was burning.
See.
Redundant.
I did it on purpose.
Anyone who tries to attack me for making an obvious point should be burned alive.

I tried as best I could to do my job, which was tough considering the amt of stopping.
I HATE stopping while running.
So, I was in pain.
But it only made me go FASTER and FASTER.

only when we reached school did I remembere how thin the line between postive mental motivation, and pure STUPIDITY, was.

Like I said
Weird.

And I don't know WHY, but i'm getting louder, and more, high?

I find MYSELF rather annoying actually.

Then again, better happy than making myself miserable for no reason at all.

Anyway
Accomplishments today.

Practiced and got down all my NSL skills within one lesson after not having practiced before at all.
I'm kinda lazy in NSL.

Did a quarter of my video of OB photos I edit.

Piggybacked Jacqueline, Midori, Jia Jun, Shuxian, Weilson, and Hafiz.
Oh yeah.
Hafiz is EASY.
Easier than midori even.
Man.

I rock.
ZOMG!!

Oh, and I have ONE final project to be completed.
Gonna take the whole weekend is due on MONDAY.
MONDAY le.

Well, last one, so let's make it a good one.
Last real one anyway.
Wah.

I'm motivating myself to do project.
ZWTF ---> Hui Shi told me this.
You catch on fast girl.

Hoohoo.
Night, folks

I want those times back, bad.
It was so much fun

p.s. not referring to photos below






I'm sick.
Yet again.




Fainting spell.
Almost fell in the bath today.
Boy, oh boy.

I feel like an old man who's just not cut out to continue anymore and who might get a severe head injury if I randomly fall down.





Woot. We Rock harder than anyone else will.

Tiredness and ME do NOT go together one bit.
And I'm not talking about the part where you feel like dying and just wanna sleep and sleep. (I wanna do just that, but that's not the point I'm emphasizing)

Kinda wasted my time sleeping over in school.
I somehow knocked out under the block at Sunset Way, while waiting to play the games the kids had planned out.

Never really composed myself after that to participate any further.
So here I am at home.
Where my bro's tutor is here and now I'm late for my appointment with my bed and the two pals I have on it (not the pillows).

Anyway.
Post NP Open House 2008, I have become a veteran of over 50 trust falls.
8-men.
6-men.
2-men.
ONE-man.

Did it all.
I kinda suggested the 2-men one, when clement and weilson happened to be posing there, and I happened to be on the table, so I jumped.

Only one major casualty, which was syafiq, who landed on his face cause my arm slipped when he landed on it. This was the 2-men version by the way. Me & Weilson supporting. My bad.

Oh yeah, when it comes to trust falls, casualty is always the faller, never the supporter. I got elbowed just under my eye and tasted blood, but I'm no casualty. Muahaha.
Lame.

Anyway.. I now trust myself to take on any person to fall on me.
Question is, do they trust me.
=)

Alritey.
Tonight I'll post all the pictures from all 3 days if I'm in the mood.

Hello Again.
So, this has been a hectic week, and its only gonna get even more so.
So, I've found to update on yesterday and today.

Yesterday, I attended all 3 lectures (shockingly) and after that had a well needed chill out time with a few people, namely Rudy, Ben, Fakhril, Ghaz and Hariz, mostly.

Anyhoo, The 2 days in pictures should be enough yeah?


I love this first one
My capo.
Nothing great la, but who cares right?



Hariz featuring My Guitar




Here's a good one.
Ghaz concentrating hard on his tennis.







He's getting more annoyed.
Oh. no.







Ooops. Nevermind.
He won the game
Success.
He's happy.






He's happy now, so out comes the guitar (again).
Rudy feels the Bass needs an introduction too.
Guys.
Hariz's Fender Precision.
Say hello.
Don't be shy.







Smoke la Rudy, smoke.

Skinned knees really are easier to fix then broken hearts

I really do have skinned knees (whole lower leg actually).
But I'm not broken hearted in any way.
Hah.


Random.
Yup.

I'm getting more & more random everyday.
Randomness is actually very overrated,
so I know exactly what I'm getting when I say I'm becoming more random.

Argh.

And I also realized today, the more tired I am physically, the more 'real' my daydreams become.
Had a good laugh with rach just now about it too.

The best keepers of secrets arent those that keep their mouths shut.
Those people are just ignorant, or are unfortunately unskilled.

Keeping quiet about a secret really isnt the best way to keep it secret.
It's the easiest way (and even then MOST people fail) but not the best.

If someone trusts you with a piece of juicy info, its always good to at least try to mislead people.
If you get really good at it, you can have others so completely convinced with one story, but really, they're getting further away from the secret.
And then, the secret is really kept that way.

Of course.
The most depressing thing that can happen to someone who's keeping a secret is, if the person who told it to them decides to reveal it after you've kept it so well.

Heh.
Random.




Kinda sad.
Food will be my last piece of real work.

Alritey.
I'm feeling much better today.
Kinda 'high'

I think the Double Cheeseburger I regurgitated back out last night shall be the last of it.

Yesterday.
Meeting plus dinner after that was a blast.
Tiring, but fun.
Thanks Wen Ting & Eunice for the COMBINED belated birthday wishes.
Lots of laughter amidst trying to make all the decisions on the future of the club.

I think we had just started the meeting.
And somehow the topic of slacking came about.
As with any group of people, certain people click more than others.
In my comm, I get along exceptionally well with HAN BIN, YU HENG, JIA JUN and KELVIN. Sure I enjoy the company of the rest, but these 4 are the greatest.

Why?
Not because of selective preference.
But more because of our attributes.
I see the 5 of us as the "SLACKERS".
not just any slackers.
But the most efficient slackers.
We get work done alright.
Technically, slacker is the wrong word, but it just sounds cool.
We're more of the playful bunch I would say.
The more likely to make a joke (a funny one)
We laugh at ourselves. At others.
Anything. Anyone.

Oh well.
That's us.

And me posting like this keeps reminding me come next month, that's where the 14th Committee hands over its duties.
I'm just talking in official terms though.
Obviously there's no such thing as really breaking up.
And as skeptical as I was at the start of the academic year, and by my character, I'm actually quite surprised I'm this close to my fellow comm (the non-slackers included). Like super, close. Brilliant.
I think I've done well for myself.
Haha.

Next semester.
Next semester.
Who will step up.
Who will step down.
Who're the new ones who will join.
This next month is gonna be exciting, if stressful.

I'm capable of seeing the bad points in EVERYONE.
And when I'm not feeling too good, the things I dislike about people affect me more than usual.
Sometimes, they make me progress from disliking their traits to disliking THEM.
I really do not need all this right now, added with all the other distractions I'm having.

And in my defence (OR NOT), I see my flaws come out even more so as well.
I start disliking myself more too.

Well.
There IS only one other human being whose wonderful side never seems to evade me.
Some will know who of course. =)
Heck.
YOU probabaly knew it was YOU eh.

But for now anyway, panadol and some other stuff shall be my friend.
LOL

Alritey.
So the first weekend of the year is here.

And I don't think I've progressed in anything.
Schoolwork or whatever.
Everything's still just the same.

Today.
Midori gave flowers to all the people in Anbeh. I stored it in my guitar bag. Thank God its not crushed.
She sat on me for a good 15 minutes. And now my leg is spastic. Like. Literally.
I took four shots at shuttle run today. Just for fun. 8.93seconds.
Not good enough.
Sit-ups. 43. A. Content. Could do twice. But, content.
2.4km. 12.10mins. Pathetic. Underestimated my stamina. Cramp. Overall. Still pathetic.
I got free strength training by giving piggybacks.
I looked like I was travelling. Laptop bag. Regular bag. Guitar bag.
I loaded myself with AppleCranberry juice 10 minutes ago..

Conclusion
I still feel lousy.
Heh.

Playing hard to get?
I don't know

Outward rejection?
I have no clue.

Whatever it is, I'll just carry on until I know.




Man has these pass week been a lousy one for me.
And I'm even more pissed off today.
Sheesh.
Lucky I had company on the way home.
