31st Jan

It's the last day of the month. the first month of the year. The first month will always pass very slowly, but the subsequent months will pass so fast that i will have to use siheng as an example of "fast". lol.

Anyway, today's training was helluva fun. Yes, we have training on Saturdays. It was a super, super long run. Siheng said we ran for 2 hours, approximately for about 15 km. lol.
The route:
HCI>MGS>McDonalds (KAP)>Ngee Ann Polytechnic> SIM University>Holland Village>Farrer Road> SMGS> Coronation Plaza (yay!) > HCI
Very fun route!

I dont know what's going on and I dont know what she's thinking. I mean, I dont know how she feels. She's too smart to reveal much. Sooner or later, it will be the time for The Confession. And thank god Irvin saved me from becoming gay lol

I'm so guilty. I keep playing fifa online non-stop. I need to get it off my mind. damn. I wasted a lot of time on it. Okay, all these tell me that... I'M ADDICTED. @$#@!$$@!% What a time to be addicted to computer games. And to think that I actually know that I'm addicted. wth man. I dont care, I'm gonna forget about it. For my studies, running and family. I havent been cherishing family time this weekend. omg, come to think of it, i feel sooo guilty. hey siheng, i'm gonna kick off that addiction FOR YOU. haha kidding. lol I not gay. haha.

I didnt know alex reads my blog. I reckon it's all siheng's doing :D

CNY was quiet. I expected fireworks. But the only thing that flickered was the flame that kept the steamboat at 100 degrees. This CNY is the saddest CNY ever. really. So many family problems. I witnessed one of my relatives crying because of a family problem. And heard how another one sobbed over her mother's death. It's really sad. Everything just had to happen during CNY. What was supposed to be a joyous period became so heart-wrenching. sigh. but what to do? It's the adult world. R21. Not that we dont want to help, we cant. I really wish that I could say something, do anything at all, to help them hold back those tears.

This year will be different.

It has been a wacky week, especially since there was the international science forum for youths. well, there's no need to elaborate on this,right...

This week's assembly was highly controversial. Yes, I know it's unbelievable that our Hwa Chong assembly discussions will ever be anything interesting. After what happened on thursday, I was convince that we're living in a highly suppressed society, not permitting much freedom of speech. I hope I dont get into deep shit by saying this, but the thought of it all is irksome. We may be a school of distinction on the surface, but deep down, we are nothing but a bunch of scardy-cats who are afraid of airing their views. I know, it's the result of society. I know, some things cannot be said in the open. I know, it is always wrong to be radical and cynical, especially in our kind of society. I know, even if people make attempts to change things, things aren't going to change that easily. But I don't know why a student, so analytical and courageous, get scolded for stating his opinions. Maybe he wasnt being very objective. But well, nobody is objective. We all have our set of beliefs and opinions, for instance, different people believe in different religions. You can't just force a set of beliefs down someone's throat! Or punish them for not swallowing YOUR opinions!! It's supposed to be a democratic state, isnt it? Maybe not, maybe not... ...

Siheng wants to be the steeple king (which I think he will be) and...
she (you-konw-who) wants to be the sleeping king.
Haha. Their messages are so complementary. How adorable! LOL

was kinda disappointed by the fact that I wasnt able to run the SAA. I felt left out when everyone in the team except for me. But it was actually a blessing in disguise, I thought. I was telling myself repeatedly that I have to go for it, fight for it, train really hard, all so that I can be nationals top 10. No doubt it's a dream but I hope so dearly for it do become reality. Jun Yi is doing great and will do even better if he wasnt injured. Now I shouldnt target joo ern or guangyan. I should be setting higher targets if I want to achieve more! So I set siheng as my benchmark. Well, there's this part of my brain that constantly reminds me that siheng is too fast for me to catch up. But nonetheless, I will try my best, like how rocky did in ALL his boxing matches. In the burning heart...



So you can say that I'm kinda motivated. Hopefully my enthusiasm will last me till the end of track season.

Oh, and we (hwachong) are holding the International Science Forum for Youths. And she's a participant!! I hope I can say hi to her sometime. :P

There was quite a lot of things going on today.

First, the super meaningful CIP at Payar Lebar. One group of us actually gave food to a poor uncle who survived on nothing more than pensions. So we had adopted that family. We befriended him. And I enjoyed that a lot.

Next, we had the SAA x-country race. Sadly, I couldnt run. cos of my illness. But my absence from the race made me think more. I want to run the Nationals. I want to dare to dream. Maybe my enthusiam only last today, but I hope I train really really hard so that I can run in March.

Lol, actually that's not a lot. But these two events took up my entire day. But it was worth it.

Now, Manchester United's match against Bolton... ...

Whoa, what a long week! These five days seemed like forever! Not surprisingly, teachers gave us the perfect weekend we yearn for by throwing us tons of work. Kudos to them for attempting such a brave method to carve us into leaders of the future. I really appreciate that.

My teachers aren't as horrible as last year, I hope. At least I see some hope in my physics and chemistry. Let's pray that things will change.

And my legs are aching like some dog. The thigh muscles hurt whenever I walk up and down the stairs. lol. And there's the all comers meet tomorrow!! And sunday of course. I'm a bit anxious cos this will be my first race for at least one year. wish me luck!

A bad day.

First day of school = bad day.

Bad thing: My charger screwed up. I can't use my laptop anymore cos there isn't any power! wtf! I can only use yong hwee's charger because his laptop model is exactly the same as mine. shit man. I dont dare to risk charging it with other types of charger cos I'm afraid of fireworks at ground level.

School reopened on Friday. Which totally stinks. But it feels kinda good wearing long pants, although it's a little warm. And CSE Orientation was... not very appealing. Maybe it's just the first day of the orientation, but everyone seems so uninterested. So on the first day of school, we have received our first piece of assignment, not very surprising actually. The amount of work SLim gave out in a matter of minutes foreshadow the tonnes and loads of work we're gonna get throughout the year. screw that.

Oh, I finally joined the physics tuition. Was a bit expensive so I vow to study hard. The teacher was quite good in explaining the theories, but he spent some of the time talking about curry and potatoes. That isn't good by the way. I do hope that my physics will improve as a result of going to the tuition.

On Saturday morning, several of us had the 8km time trial. Not many people turned up. Only about 10 I think. Siheng did what he could do best - break his own PB. AGAIN. Yeah, you heard rightly, he broke his personal best again. He has a lot of chance this year, really. As for me, I got 35 mins for the trial. It was quite an exhausting run for me. So well, I feel that it was a good time for me. So my next target will be sub 33 min!!
