finally back home from sports camp. finallyi have nice home-cooked food, i can take my own sweet time for showers and i can sleep till late........ for the past 7 days i think i have broken my personal records of:
sleeping the least
cycling/walking /jogging/running the most
fallen down the most number of times

i came back with an injured ligament on my knee, muscle aches, bad stomache and constipation, tan, pimples, swollen eyes and feets, blisters, uncountable blue-black and cuts, twisted spectacles...

yet i am very proud to say i have done a lot of things i nv tried before:
went night cycling for like 7-8 hrs, try to windsurf, went on a jetski and banana boat, did a bike obstacle course on those rough terrain, experienced a fright night and really got scared, tried absailing (is this how u spell?) and dragonboating and kangaroo jumping (at big splash, very fun), ate fremented beancurd, had sp nite that feels so like speed dating (lol), sang stupid hokkein songs....

it was a real tough and shack 7 days for me, esp when my stamina is so weak and i cant swim. but i dun regret this once a lifetime experience. just that i am not so sure whether i will go a second time if i had a chance... haha

okay tmr i going to shift to hostel! haha then tonight have tuition and dinner with chua and tans... so need to go pack my stuff alrdy!

aside to shao, ling, jael and biao: i am rushing my sis friend alrdy... bags should be coming soon!! so sorry! =)

you will belong if you belong.
sometimes we cannot make things happen our way.

the ntu sports camp ppl just called me ystd. haha yeah i got into sports camp! so happy! but on second thoughts, there are a few considerations.... 1) 7 days; where am i going to find so many shorts to wear!!!!! i only got like 4 pairs thst can wear out (at home nvm mah...) ... 2) may clash with my that time of the month. so sian. 3) it was donkey years ago since i really exercised!!! die. haha so conclusion: i will still go but i have like less than 4 days to settle all these cos coming monday is the camp yo!

these few days busy with packing my stuff to hostel. haha i've packed a lot and there are still a lot more to pack... i thought it will be much lesser... but have to buy everything ... from toothbrush to fork and spoon to shoes to laptop.... i moving house!!!!!!!!!!!

wish: i will be injury-free and not fall sick during the 7 days!

maybe i tried too hard.

what do you do when you found out that you may have made a wrong decision becasue you made the wrong assumption?

1) heck it; it's fate.
2) try to reverse/salvage the situation
3) feign ignorance

no prize for answers though. =)
one week of unemployment. hahas. beginning to adapt to my free, aimless, not very productive lifestyle. havent really started exercising. settled most of my uni stuff. going for a bank loan this thurs. went for medical today and i got lost on my way to the student services centre to hand in the stupid tuition grant thing. saw those photos of last day of work uploaded on facebook. kinda miss the office again. hahas

watched spiderman 2 on channel 5 ystd. again. my fav scene:

Spiderman passed out after using up all his strength to stop the train travelling at more than 100km/h... the people in the train passed his exhausted body over their heads back into the train... from hand to hand.... and one passenger exclaimed: "he's just a kid. not older than my son" and when the enemy comes after him when he regained conscious, the passengers lined up in front of spiderman, " if you want to get him, you have to get through me first.", "and me","and me","and me","and me","and me"...

"everyone needs a hero" said Peter Parker's aunt.
I guess we need heroes to save the day, but maybe, even more, for their self-sacrificing spirit that sincerely touches and inspires us. the kind of respect they gained in return, must have been the greatest reward of all.

we don't have superheros in reality.
but i suppose everyone of us can be a hero,
a hero for others,
a hero for yourself,
a hero who lives in everyone's heart
as noble and strong.

4th day of my unemployment. yeah! life has been kinda slack and empty without work though.

miss the reluctance to get up early at 630am.
miss the short and un-glam napping on mrt to work.
miss the craving for mr bean pancake and grass jelly.
miss my inbox that's bombarded with emails that i need to print.
miss my cranky deskmates.
miss frustrating over what to eat during lunch.
miss the 'installing updates' time at 4pm where we get to stroll to the pantry and look out for new biscuits.
miss looking forward to 530pm.
miss wallace's "you are not paid after 530"

life's like this. grass is always greener on the other side. you overlook it when u have it. and you'll miss it when it's gone.

finish watching a not-very-nice hk drama. the kind where you only watch it when you are free. and yes i am VERY FREE. tidied up my horrendously messy table. tidied up= throwing away those unwanted and stuff those wanted into my cupboard (which is the next i'm supposed to tidy!) well done! haha. keep having that feeling that i missed an important deadline. hope it's not sth related to uni. salary and bonus for my last month has not been credited into my account yet. and my sec4 tuition student hasnt paid me. watched 'penelope' and going to watch 'wanted' tmr . both movies starring james mcavoy. not that i like him a lot. i dun even know who the heck is he. lol. plus all the nice food at waraku, thai express, some prata shop, cafe cartel... i'm offically broke yo! haha.

just saw this random scribbling on my A level econs notes... "looking forward to 8,9, no 10 months of rejuvenation, relaxation, rejoicing and recovery" haha but as what i knew, 2 months flew pass before i started work and 6 months of work flew passed even faster. now i am left with less than a month before the camps and it's back to studies. a new beginning. a new experience with hostel life. new friends. new life. i just hope time won't travel so fast again when i am having fun. =)

sometimes a flower doesn't wither off first
before the fruit can grow.
perhaps it's the fruit
that pushes the flower off.
