Water Program: 6k technical rows with resistance
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Twice -> Once at 4.5k (my bad) and another stupid one at 5k (blame the wind)

Wow, I seriously can't tank lecture Tuesday. The only thing good about it is that there are no homework from lectures. Practically stoned during art & bio and slept during maths & chem. Wtf...

Training felt better. Maybe because the chartered bus was on time and we didn't launch past 5.10pm. It can still be earlier, yes, but it's still an improvement nonetheless.

Wei guo finally came! Yes! A coach! But too bad he didn't notice all of our strokes. Damn. =( The only comment I got today was not to come out of the boat (as usual) from Hadrian (as usual). I tried to work on it though, stretching forward instead of outwards. But each time I focused on that I tend to either J too strongly that direction will go haywire, or I'll hit Jarrod's tight ass. So it feels weird.

We have yet to plunge together though. But first thing first lah, I still need to work on my own plunge. I still need to learn to plunge before pulling my weight. There were a few successful attempts at this when I saw the C2 actually flying forwards after my plunge so I felt good momentarily. But there were also failed attempts, one of which caused the capsize at 4.5k =/ Sian. Gah! I need to learn to plunge slowly and effectively, ie. don't rush the stroke and splash a lot of water consecutively!!!

Other than that, I definitely felt better than yesterday. =D Especially Jarrod now recovers properly without dragging the boat again! Yay.

Orientation in 2 days though!! I'm so excited!!
And tmr's the posting results. Gambate!
Water Training Log
Water Program: 4k out of 6k technical rows with(out) resistance
Boat: Boris C1
Capsizes: None

No more of this jabberwock. The bus screwed today's training BIG time. What shit company doesn't know how to differentiate 4.40 from 5.40. Like wtf? The worst part is that we still have to pay... Shitheads. The bus better not screw up for subsequent trainings.

Took a cab to macs at like 5 for water instead. Decided to use a boris instead cause the fast HC boris fella inspired me. Bad idea though, cause I ended up wasting my time in the water. Shitty strokes + failing to catch up to the HC rowers = PHAIL TRAINING imo.

Three things I need to focus on tmr:
(1) Twist more; less biceps
(2) Plunge; don't pull before proper set-up
(3) Thrust hips forward, not to the right

I guess (1) and (2) are connected, i mean, since I'm too prone to using my biceps, I used it to pull too early before a proper set-up. As for (3), I guess it's because I changed to a boris, so the lack of footrest made me shift my weight/kick to a different (and wrong) area. The kick wasn't so much on my kneeling thigh, but it was more on the other leg, so my hip kinda pops out there during each phail kick. =/

I guess it wasn't such a bad training... I mean, if it wasn't for today, I wouldn't have figured these things out... Haha.

70 more days. =3
What happened in macritche or after that will remain a secret. Even though I myself wasnt there this morning, nonetheless, I hope none of this shit will happen again.

Was at CCAAB in the morning. Was late cause I chose to oversleep. And the workshop itself was... interesting I guess. I think Mr Lynn's jokes are the one keeping me awake.

MBTI, haha, Dlim = jarrod = sj. HAHAHA. Even better, WY = sancia = SWL = Yings. Lol. Dont know which ones better. xD

Anyways, conflict management, I cant believe Cliff told everyone there about the boy/girl divide, and Mr Lynn was being such an ass and a provoker... Lol. And crystal telling everyone off, it was sooo typical of her mbti type. Haha. Jarrod's response was still best though. Nonchalant turtle ftw.

OGL after that. Helped out with the skirts, then another talk by Mr Lynn... =.=" Diaoz...

Walk-in rehearsals, clan item practice, all damn fun and i really hope it will work out on the actual day! But the raffia skirts are damn itchy! Cant tank... But still... Haha. Guess I cant really spoil everything, so I'll skip to the vulcan dinner.

Isk got a 2nd birthday celebration, haha, lucky guy. And one fun part to dine with girls is that most of them will let you finish their food for them. xD Haha. And Avril being herself really made the night bimbotic... Lol.

Gah! Really wished I was at water today. Conflict management needs some serious application in this situation...

Boat: Peisheng C1
Capsizes: 3 times - once at 600m, twice more at 4.7km

Sore after gym training, felt shitty throughout, so much more painful than 22k tbh. And I freaking made a huge chip on the peisheng! omfg, i'm sooo sorry....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENETICGYK.

Couldn't really remembered what happened yesterday, but I know I was damn bored during 100min GP doing the timed compre practice that me and trich started dancing the mass dance. =P Oh! Bio lab was fun too when you have to chop the leaf and 'wank' the test-tube with the leaf extract. Haha.

I recalled after school heading to a H3 Proteomics class, hoped I spelt that correctly, while waiting for YK's birthday dinner. It was interesting yet boring at the same time... But I know one thing though, I really need to revise my biomolecules notes. Lol.

Headed to the gym because I left my EZ-link card there, yeah it's a stupid rule that you have to surrender your card when entering the gym and yet some people just blissfully waltz in when the uncle's not at the counter. T.T Diaoz.... Anyways, those who were gymming obviously died, haha, even at the first freaking half an hour set, especially since no one was fully recovered after marathon, though WY have fresh muscles since he didn't row, but that doesn't really matter.

YK's dinner at Fish'n'Co.! Walao, damn ex leh... Cannot tank the price... But the seafood platter was surprisingly filling for me. And it was funny looking at Anthea's face when she saw the jews jewing the leftovers. Haha. Quoc even wanted to eat the cake we used to smash into YK's face, and of course in his ears. Haha. Happy 18th nonetheless!

Anyways, woke up early today because I had forgotten to design gloria's fire belt thingy, but my early wasn't early enough so I had to rush it in 10 mins, so it really looks like crap. Then I had to rush down to school to learn the Vulcan walk-in dance thing, which waws quite cool really. Pity the dancers were all ill. =/ Odd... Anyways I ended up just burning the edges of the belt thingy during my break to add that 'fire' effect. But it still looked like crap nonetheless.

Did 30 out of 100 pullups before school. Was too lazy, and not say we're not allowed to do so in uniform too, but heh....

Art. Learnt about this artist who apparently drew a sketch of a penis and ate it. Lol. He also made a cast of a tiger, which represents the might of the penis, on a rocking chair, to stimulate sex. Haha. So cool. We also learnt of Vincent Leow's controversial performance art piece where he drank his own urine, snipped off his pubic hair, placed them in an envelope and gave it to the audience, which caused performance art in Singapore to be banned to more than a decade. Haha. Another cool dude....

I guess that was the only interesting subject today. The other lectures (freaking 4 hours of them for 4 subjects! oh wells, at least there's no gp) were yawns... Maths, after the lecturer's weird intro to vectors, I fell partially asleep. Bio, woke up a bit cause the lecturer is damn scary. I expected her to target me somehow, and still, I got the answer correct by pure luck! Haha. Tyco. Chem, fell slightly crazier cause I was too bored that I started making sick jokes, like head-on overlap, and sms-ed kevin with crap even when there's a kao-peh teacher sitting behind me. HAHA.

Break before swim pe! Kevin cut his own middle finger, haha, LOSER. He tried to act emo and peeled off the 100plus bottle after seeing wl walking with george to the pool in their voda attire for filming that he cut himself by mistake. HAHAHAHA.

Their scene was interesting actually. They used the freaking lizard-ed and broken T2 and took the db paddles from the canteen for their props in the baby pool. Haha. They filmed everything during my swim pe, and since the beginners class is damn slack, I was watching most of the filming. Lols. Kevin, dont be jealous.

I seriously love the slackness of beginners class. I was practically sunbathing the whole time! xD Haha.

Headed to macs after swim pe without showering. But the taxi wait was damn effed up, seriously. Stupid taxi drivers waiting for peak hour before they pick up pax, what nonsense is that? Ended up taking one at 5pm. heard Kevin took one at 5.20 when we're supposed to hit water at 5. Haiz....

Water Training Log
Program: Technical rows with resistance - Did 2.5k without, 0.5k with.
Boat: Peisheng C1
Capsizes: None

Wah. I haven't used a C1 in a very long time! Felt quite unstable at first but after a while I got used to it heh. Felt an odd tilt to the right on the peisheng but Hadrian said it was fine. Maybe it's just the peisheng, cuz my kneepad doesn't fit the boat perfectly and it tends to move around, especially when I kick. Speaking of which, I'm slightly getting the hang of the kick.

But idk really. Today I tried to focus on staying in the boat such that I didn't stretch out far enough for fear of either getting out or stepping down. Hadrian said heck with the latter and the former can be solved by stretching out forward and not sideways. Its a bit complicated but I think I've grasped the theory of it, so I'll try tmr. Heh.

Another problem is the twist. One reason I tend to go out is because I'm not twisting enough. So I'll try to, according to Mr Ro, align myself in the boat with my left shoulder in line with my whole body. Which makes sense really because then I'll be forced to twist more and most importantly, already in the boat! Hmmm... I better reiterate that to myself in bold, italics and underlined: Align self with boat with left shoulder in line with whole body!

But then Hadrian said that instead of stepping down on the boat, we should be plunging our weight on the paddle, which I could roughly visualise, including the pain it'll bring to the shoulders, but I'm still confused as to stretch forward and yet throw your weight on the paddle, which is next to the boat, yet stay in the boat at all times! It has something to do with the hips I think, but I don't see how that comes to the picture.... Hmmm.... Guess I'll try to learn to plunge my weight first, I mean, I will learn to plunge my weight on my paddle!

Yups. Wow. That's a lot to digest. Oh wells, here's to better strokes!

Program: TWENTY-TWO FREAKING KILOMETRES
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Six!

Okay la, I don't really wish to make whatever happened public online. So Jarrod, whatever happen, don't kill yourself over it, okay? :) Some of the capsizes was partially my fault too, especially the first one, so it's okay, it was fun rowing with you. At least now we know of our strengths and weaknesses so that we may better ourselves of Nats! 3rd place is really good considering we're new. I really don't care about 2nd anymore, at least we met our objective of wanting to get something out of today. :) Tbh, we got more. Haha.

Though I may have shouted and freaked out towards the end, I'm sorry. Now you know how short-tempered I am. Haha. But it's okay. You still did your best, and I appreciate that, my vice-cap! (Y)

But please, learn how to breathe properly else you'll hyperventilate in the boat again. It was damn scary! Please, please don't.

Overall, I'm freaking sore now, but I feel good knowing that IT'S OVER and I SURVIVED!!!

Oh and TTQ, PLEASE LEARN HOW TO FEED AND NOT TO CHOKE PEOPLE. Thank you.
GP felt short and I LOVED IT BEING THAT WAY. Mass PE after that, which was surprisingly tank-able. But the squats really hurts though... Guess I'm not used to it. =/ Anyways, a short break after that. Then comes the tutorial/lecture marathon for 4hrs straight! Bio tut, maths tut, bio lecture, chem prac. Lol @ time sets for chem prac. Freaking have to rush to meet the timing, haha, but it was quite fun seeing everyone kan-chionging and messing things up. ^.^

Finally learnt the couples dance after school. And I must say, it's quite doable, at least the guys part. Haha. Slept at the void deck after that for a few hours before heading for training.

Land Training Log
Program: 2.5min,1.5min,45sec sets of 30kg,30kg,50kg bench press, bench pull, ??kg bicep curls, 5kg/10kg shoulder press, ??kg lats pulldown, 5kg seat ups, 12kg upright rows

Damn. One word: Died. Nuff said, especially the first set.

Anyways, the part after gym was DAMN FREAKING HILARIOUS. Wished I could have videophoned it, but I didn't. Haha. The funniest part was when WY restrained Cliff and pulled him back with all his might to save the frog. Lol. Tonight I saw a side of WY I never knew existed. Haha.

"NOOOO!!! CLIFF!!! HAVE YOU NO COMPASSION FOR GOD'S CREATIONS?!!!"

Perks of a bio student I guess. Haha. We're just curious of what the insides of the frog looks like. xD

Can't imagine how WY like react if he saw the dead bird we placed on the road to be squashed by the bus or when we tossed the lizard in the pool to waddle... HAHAHA.... A true geologist in the making...

Dinner at Holland V. Subway with all the shit we canoeist usually make, especially YX. Haha.
Lessons as per normal again. Sianz. Chemistry, maths lecture, gp, maths tut, art.

I still cant stand the gp teacher. It's like she haven't fucked anyone before in her life so that why she's damn anal. She's scolding us for martin dickson's slack teaching and tried to save us by pressing the 'spam hw button'. She should just screw herself. Then again, it's probably her botox-ed face which is scaring everyone away. Eew. Seriously, her continuous smile can freak you out with her taut eyes staring at you. Maybe that's why she's adding her -t or -d at the end of her words....

I miss Martin Dickson. ;_;

Gym Training Log
Program: 3 sets of 3 stations - bench press, bench pull, bicep curls

Anyways, gymmed after maths tut with Jarrod. Tbh, the gym was quite stupid lah. We were the least bit disciplined to try 12 reps to die because of training later so even with the heavy weights, we just did like 6 to 10 and stopped, and fucked it. =/ Oh wells. I cant say I can't complain too because I felt too old to be doing heavy weights after such a long break from it. Damn. 60kg bench press now feels like shitzles.


But I practically died in art after that lah. Felt damn sleepy and tired, and you cant sleep in a two-student classroom. It's damn obvious lah. Sianz. Asked Madam to go to the toilet to wash my face and she practically scolded me for 'disrupting her lessons' and such. Sianz....

Water Training Log
Program: 5k technical out of 8k
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: None

Wtf? Training felt damn short and the whole 5k was shitty. In our efforts to stretch out further, we're stepping on the boat too much and and our recovery control went haywire. Damn. In short, it was a shitty training.
The day started of quite sian lah. I didn't know if the OGLs could wear yellow collegiate to school so I wore blue and brought yellow, which is like a super waste of time tbh.

Came to school and sat on the floor! omfg, its so freaking nostalgic, especially the part when the whole class sat on one squeezy line instead of two. Lol.

Set up the CCA display relatively quite fast and practically stoned there till the first check at 10 while the rest were doing, omfg, homework. The video rocked though. Haha. Don't know why the girls are so petty when they're not in the video... I mean, just because of that, they want a different shirt than our? Like wtf right? And I have a feeling it's also because SOMEBODY said there were no girls in the canoeing team... Haiz...

Anyways, lunch then the grand opening. It's so fun to cheer both the core and echo group at the same time! Haha. Reminds me of VS. Lol.

Touring the guest was so freaking awesome! You see those who are thinking of getting in and we show how cool we are, and there are those who are begging to get in and i just laugh in my heart that you're so pathetic. Haha. Its fun sharing your personal experiences, like when they ask about subject combinations, I always reply, 'Dont take physics in AC, cuz the physics dept sucks...' HAHAHA.

Took 3 groups of people, one from SJI, which includes the dsa canoeists and some who wants to appeal in through canoeing, wow, there's another from nan hua who are damn cheena seriously and another from, omfg can you believe it, vs. HAHA. So shocked to see them there la. But they're probably just there to jew the goodie bag la seriously. Freaking 6 pointers.

Rowing the pool was fun yet stupid at the same time. Haha. I bet everyone who saw us think that we're crazy idiots, especially those who saw the rest playing the oyx game in the pool. Haha. I happen to be one of them. Lol.

Thank god I didn't row in the t2 for long. Not only is the combing broken, which is damn dangerous la, but there was also a freaking lizard in there la. Haha. Kenneth yeong was damn funny. There was no seat on the t2 and he just freaking sat on the screw. LOL! Awesome win. Not only that, the lizard freaking crawled up to his neck before everyone realised there was actually a lizard there. HAHAHA. He was like 'omg canoeing damn fun' until the lizard came into the picture. Haha.

We tossed the lizard in the pool and it was waddling around for like 5 mins before it went into the pool drain. Which means that it's probably still there now. Haha.

Anyways, after the comical action was over, we packed up everything and headed to holland v. to crash the scone class dinner. Haha. That was when Joween offered Yauwan her fridge full of food. Haha. The glint in his eyes were damn obvious... Lol.

Nothing much really happened today. Lecture marathon can really drain you. 1h art, 1hr maths, 40min bio, 20min break, 1hr chem - all lectures (except for the break). Sianz. That's pretty much for a Tuesday.

[ Now Listening To: Shinedown - If You Only Knew ]

Gymmed after chem lecture today. Damn pain cause didn't stretch or warm up so I died at 20kg bench pull. Sianz.

Training Log
Program: 3min,2min,1min sets of 20kg,30kg,40kg bench press, bench pull & 5kg shoulder press/12kg bicep curls

4 period PE after that. Got some PE talk which is quite lols. Haha. Wow! Alfie's in my same PE period! Haha. But I got swim PE next week onwards. Sian. After swimming still got training. At least I'm only in beginners. Haha. I dont intend on doing anything else...

[ Now Listening To: The All-American Rejects feat. The Pierces - Another Heart Calls ]

Cabbed over to Mac with Yings (i know, desperate times call for desperate measures). Cuz I thought that everyone else left when I forgot that oyx and honghwee also have the same PE period as me... -.-" Apparently the 'everyone else' took bus and was damn freaking late. They reached there at 5.20+, which is like wtf. Half an hour of training? WTF?!

Training Log
Program: 4k technical out of 10k
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Once

Whose bright idea was it to take the bus after 4.30? Gah! And I wasted $4 cab fare just for half an hour of training. SO NOT WORTH IT LA. Especially to be shot in the face by Cliff during debrief.

[ Now Listening To: Rihanna - Russian Roulette ]

The rowing was also horrible la, at least for me. Jarrod was off-form and so was I. I tried to stay in the boat by holding my paddle higher to the yellow mark cause I figured that I've been holding it too low all these while which made me go out of the boat often. So yeah. But it was phail obviously. I couldn't J properly and then the direction got super super haywire. Plus Jarrod's off-form caused the boat to be super unstable. Thus everything made us panic and basically it felt horrible. Gah!

[ Now Listening To: Flo Rida feat. Wynter - Sugar ]

Vanilla ice cream protein was nice though. Haha. Especially with chilled milk. Tastes really like a milkshake. :] Yum.

OMG!! Trip to New Town was MEGA PHAILL!!

[ Now Listening To: Owl City - Vanilla Twilight ]

The day started out quite bad actually. I finished my art assignment at like 12am and couldn't sleep (idk why) till like 2.30. Obviously I overslept and freaking hell woke up at 6.30! Rushed to shower and then caught the 6.45 train. Reached B.Vista at 7.15 and rushed to school. Damn.... what a way to start the first day of school.

Chapel, did like one question of the chem holiday homework... xD Then there was that principal address thing which no one listened to cause it's just repetition from CCAAB. Haha. I was singing in my head the entire time...

[ Now Listening To: Leighton Meester feat. Robin Thicke - Somebody To Love ]

Anyways, contact time was wtf... we got a new form tutor who is also a pregnant lady. Deja vu much. I really hope she's not like Elaine Kao-Peh Yong. Then again... most bottom teachers are... =/ Seriously the higher-ups look fierce but they are actually more fun and lenient when it comes to discipline and stuff.... Gah! Here comes the PMS...

My timetable was also wtf... I thought J2 would end earlier. It's the same shit as last year. In fact, I preferred my last yr's timetable better... =( Tuesday's Art + Bio + Chem + Math lecture combo is NOT a good thing... And Chem Lab during Friday prayers?! WTF!!! So I cant freaking pon class at all la! Damn it... Stupid timetable...

[ Now Listening To: Metro Station - Seventeen Forever ]

That aside... common break, wow, said hi to a lot of people! HEY!! I like this. Lol. And the void deck doesn't look primary sch-ish people, i love it. It's just a pity that the lockers are now outside LT5 instead... =/

The discipline talk... yawnz... heard about the jacket thing months ago, but it's weird they don't allow black based cca jackets yet they allow plain black jackets... hmmm.... =/

[ Now Listening To: David Cook - Light On ]

GP. OMFG. I CANT STAND THE NEW TEACHER!!! It's like huixian with a freaking bad fake angmoh accent. I dont think I can survive listening to her for 5 periods... thank God for the blue slip. Id don'td knowd whyd shed hasd tod endd everyd wordd ofd herd sentenced withd ad '...d'd, liked classd. OMFGd.

Left GP after one period to slack in the void deck with the sconers. WTF, Kevin now has weird fetishes for fur... First shit, now fur, I wonder what next... Hahaha. Oh and the free ice-cream rocks. Seriously. But I cant help wondering if it was last year's batch... if that's the case then there's a possibility that 300 students out of the cohort will be at home with diarrhoea or something... Haha...

[ Now Listening To: Taylor Swift - Fifteen ]

Left for NewTown at like 1+ to literally stone there for another 2 to 3 hours. Wow. Even the HOD whom we were supposed to report to didn't expect we were coming. Lol. Only the principal knew and they basically sent us to the canteen at the back of the school when the hall is nearer to the gate. They claim that students will go to the canteen after receiving their results when they actually just go out of the gate after that. Two words: MEGA PHAIL. Gave out like only 5 calendars out of 45 i think. Lol. We had to resort to eavesdropping to know who are the smart ones and who are not. Apparently there was one girl who got liek 7 points or something... Haha. But I agree with Samuel Ang, "We hope not to see you in AC". LOL!!!

[ Now Listening To: La Roux - Bulletproof ]

Oh, only one guy approached us to ask questions and the only questions he asked was, "are u from ac?" and "j1 or j2?" Apparently he's an ACJC alumni from NewTown and he said that only a handful of them go to AC every year and most, if not all are through DSA or appeals. His batch got only 7 (he had to appeal to get in) and our batch got 2, both DSA students. Wow... It makes you wonder why Mrs Chiang puts the school as one of those with 'more and more students coming into AC'... like WTF right?

Left for Mac at 3.50 and reached there at 4.30 to meet Hong Hwee alone. Lol. Some stuff happened after that which I don't wish to say.

[ Now Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - Arleady Gone ]

Training Log
Program: 6k technical rowing with resistance
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Zero

Wow. The resistance is really *insert appropriate word here*... At first I thought the water spouting thing was quite cool. It was even cooler due to the fact that it showed our massive power applied to row. But after a few kilometers, it became a real chore. Oh wells, I guess that's why they call it resistance.

[ Now Listening To: No Doubt - I'm Just A Girl ]

The training felt kinda rushed though. We launched at 5.10 for 6k, so we were like fighting against time. Because of that we tend to panic and like increase our rotation. So we had to be reminded time and time again to slow down and stretch. Guess that wasn't really made clear at the start. I thought the aim was to finish in time but apparently the goal was to provide an opportunity for maximum catch. I tried, but 50% of my stretches got fend off my Jarrod's ass, and 70% of the time I was still rowing with my body out of the boat. Gah! I really need to work on that...

But overall it was okay I guess. The last kilometer I died somehow and the direction went super haywire. Sorry Jarrod. But it felt good knowing that you can actually stretch that far in the boat. The sprint after that felt seriously refreshing when we took off the resistance, especially when it comes to direction control. Rubber-less is the way to go seriously.

[ Now Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You ]

The debrief went well I suppose. I liked the tone and the appropriateness of it. Jarrod, I bet you planned this during our row today, right? Haha. It doesn't matter really. The message was clear even though the arrowing was damn obvious (if it's not the C2, what else could it be?). Haha... This includes the push-ups. Wow, we've been TKY-less for a LONG time... Thumbs up, Jarrod. :]

Went home after that. OMFG. I forgot how annoying 93's frequency was. Waited at the bus stop for like 20 freaking minutes before the bus came. The Farrer Road jam is seriously effed up because of CCL construction. Grrr... At least Sancia was with me so I had someone to talk to lah (sorry wy)... HAHAHA!

[ Now Listening To: Sean Paul - So Fine ]

Wow. I really forgot what happened on thursday. But what I could recall is that I cut programme at 10 after the 10th kilometre for school. Sorry Jarrod for leaving you to finish in a C1. Anyways, the bus was damn crowded and reached school at 11-ish, just in time for flag paining.

Apparantly everyone else already learnt the couples dance, so I'm clueless. Haha. Nonetheless Sarah finally came and we painted the flag, which is damn nice according to everyone haha thank you. Lunch was nasi lemak again with the rice replaced by bee hoon. -.-" Continued flag painting then went for more games!!

[ Now Listening To: Little Boots - New In Town ]

The first game was some chair thing, which I didn't play. Then there was jellyfishing which apparently I heard got scrapped because the jelly was severly disintegrated into smaller pieces by us and no one else could play. Haha. It was fun though. Then there was the tower-of-feet thing with Vasilia. Omg. The dancers are damn pro in splits and stretching their legs up high to the top of the tower!! The won naturally... haha. Then the battle of the sexes, which is basically asking the boys to disturb the girls more frequently in class by braiding their hair. Lol. I got nothing to say about the boys having to have their nails painted. Neither do YK... lol, Vebi really smeared black nail polish all around his fingertips. LOL!!!

[ Now Listening To: Britney Spears - 3 ]

And that was the end of games. Mass rally afterwards then 50 freaking pushups for punishment because some people were late and there were some swearing here and there... (from the same person *cough* with the same word *cough* multiple times *cough*cough*). Then dismissal, where joey ran 4.4k for no apparent reson... Then dinner at Holland V with sconers + ant + monfort dog then home and slept immediately.

[ Now Listening To: Mika - We Are Golden ]

Woke up the next day just to go back to shcool. Hah. I'll get used to this soon again... =/ Damn... Anyways reached school at 8+ to see the canoeists making some wire thingy as open house door gifts before they went for their run.

Apparantly my knee went from bad to worse cause I went to row on thurs that my burn worsened to create two more holes in my knee. Now there's like three... Damn.

[ Now Listening To: Fall Out Boy - American Suitehearts ]

Anyways reached LT6 on the spot at 9 so no push-ups from me. Haha. Clan time: more cheers from Gloria! Yay! There's one cheer we ripped off from Aetos. Lol. I like... And I finally learnt the couples dance, at least only the first half of it...

Mass rally, then lunch, left for friday prayers when everyone went for tour route trial, then walk-in practices. I really hope it will go well on the actual day. Lol. And I hope the Vulcan dance wont be too complicated. Everyone's depending on the dancers for a swell intro! Haha... Afterwhich was a final mass rally which is seriously seriously DUH BOMB!!!

We ended the camp on a high with the singles and couples dance. Unfortunately I still havent finished learning the couples dance, so I danced the more complicated girls part with Jin. Lol. Think I'm grasping it... Haha...

The best part about OGL Camp is that it's not over yet! Haha. Orientation in two weeks! Cant wait! Especially since I'm in-charge of the mud game! YAY!!! Too bad there's school in between... =/ Haha...

[ Now Listening To: Tokio Hotel - Automatic ]

Dismissal then went for dinner at Paradis there with Tricia, EeLeng, Abi and Gerald to celebrate Gerald's and Jacq's birthday without her. Haha. Walked around after Eelleng and Abi left at Iluma and Bugis Junction before heading home. Tired again and slept immediately after I reached home.

[ Now Listening To: Britney Spears - My Prerogative ]

Oh ya! I remembered what happened on thurs! I was damn pissed at the seniors for being ass critical when they themselves are pulling a Dlim. If you want to tell us what to do, at least row with us or something instead of just camping at 500m telling us what to do whenever we pass by. I know we have lots to improve, but advice shouldnt be given like we're dogs. Lead by example morons...

Suddenly remembered that cause they came down again. At least Fang Yi gave proper advice by rowing with us. That's why he still has my respect. But I lost respect for Marcus, Elian and Hwax.

[ Now Listening To: Pink - U + Ur Hand ]

That aside, the twenty kilometers of rowing was damn painful. Especially the first k after each rest because my knee has to readapt to the pain of kneeling again and again. Cant really recall what happened on the first 10k. It ended quite fast. The next 6k was slightly better. Maybe because the wind picked up and actually aided us when we were going down. Unfortunately the wind got stronger and more chaotic for the last 4k that it was a chore to acutally go down, even Hadrian got blown back to 1k behind us. =P Haha.

[ Now Listening To: Alexandra Burkes feat. Flo Rida - Bad Boys ]

Nice rowing with you Jarrod. We've survived! Yay... Even though I pulled the entire weight for the last 2k, we've survived! Now if only we could do all that again + 2 more kilometres + portage at every 7k then we're ready for marathon!!!

Too bad wy stopped at 14... Haha...

[ Now Listening To: Flo Rida feat. Wynter - Sugar ]

Anyways, after we left my knee suddenly got dead worse and grew numb such that I couldnt straighten it at all... ouch. Studied at starbucks with mark + quoc + kevin + yauwan + jarrod before heading home to sleep and rest my knee.

Woke up at 12 today just to dread school which is coming tmr... Crap. I have yet to finish chem, art and gp hw. Damn... At least my knee is slightly more well-rested and I could straighten my leg again. (: Yay!!!

[ Now Listening To: Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind ]

Now time for art homework!

[ Now Listening To: Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling ]

Initially I wanted to go training this morning, but I felt so damn ill yesterday night at freaking 38.4°C that I decided to skip and sleep in. Popped in a few Panadols and felt slightly better this morning at 8, which unfortunately, training is halfway over... =/

Went for OGL Camp and felt gradually better throughout the day. Cant expect me to be down all day right... Lols. Gloria + dancers + estacy-bound councillors = uber hype. Hype + the rest = too hot vulcan.

[ Now Listening To: My Chemical Romance - The Ghost Of You]

Oh apparently Wei Ling was down with the flu too! Dont care about Dlim though.... asshole.

Icebreakers, met new faces even though they're from my batch, and I guess it's just another opportunity for new facebook friends. HAHA. Anyways, I enjoyed the Husband and Wife game though I expected to play Gloria's Tiu Tiu Tiu game that we played during CCAAB. Oh wells.

[ Now Listening To: Mika - We Are Golden ]

Singles dance... Haha. Nothing much to say. At least I'm not the slowest learner. Can roughly grasp it though in need of some fine tuning here and there especially the prechorus and chorus part... Great job though to the dancers who choreographed it! Speaking of which, most of them ARE in my clan... lol...

Cheering session, okay lah. A good recap for mass rally, though we need more practice being the core group. And I really need to differentiate the AC and VS cheers. Lol. Almost stumbled over Kemak cheer because VS had a similar cheer...

[ Now Listening To: Timbaland feat. SoShy & Nelly Furtado - Morning After Dark ]

Speaking of VS, omg, O-Level release of results on Mon! All the best guys! Unfortunately, I couldn't make it back to VS because I have to go to other west zone / AC-affiliated schools to 'persuade' them to come... *rollseyes* Oh damn...

Games! Woohoo! So fun. The tissue volleyball was an epic phail. Lol. Penguin wrestling is interesting but felt a bit too short... =/ The ball game thingy (forgot the name) which Francis was in charge of (oh, happy birthday btw) was fun though I wondered why it had to be in the sun when all you need is the wind element to challenge the game...

[ Now Listening To: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance ]

Crawling box was SUPER FUN!!! HAHAHA. THE MESSIER THE BETTER! SERIOUSLY!! Too bad I got injured cause the sunken gallery floor was too rough... And of all the places to get injured is my left knee. Damn. My poor rowing knee... Seriously though, there's a reason why the army crawl is done in a long sleeve + long pant attire. Dont know why the first round was done on rough sunken gallery floor when the smoother tiled flooring is right up a few steps next to it... =/ Oh wells... I'll survive. Thanks Kai Xiang and Kat though for the first aid.

And because of my injury I had to sit out of the last game - a wet game of all games... DAMN.

[ Now Listening To: 30 Seconds To Mars - Kings And Queens ]

Mass rally. Win, seriously. Dont know why... Haha. Poled Francis after dismissal and went back home.

The bus ride home was killer. My cold suddenly came back and couldn't breathe for a short period of time. I assumed it was the aircon, cause after I alighted, I felt slightly better... =/

[ Now Listening To: Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce - Telephone ]

Think I'll go for training tmr... =/ Felt bad for pangsei-ing Jarrod. It's 16k though.........
I can't believe it! I'm falling ill and catching a cold. Damn.

040110 Training Log
Program: 12k run
Time Taken: 01:06:40

050110 Training Log
Program: 12k mileage
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Once during program at 4k. Two more times afterwards during fun sprints.
Rests:A short one at 7k.

Not bad. Quite fast. The ending was sex, seriously. MUST get used to the stretch.
Yah. And I still need to stay in the boat. Hah. Guess I'm too big for the boat. Lol. But I tried after the mileage to stay in the boat for like a few hundred metres and I could do it. So maybe can try push for more. Cause usually I tend to 'go out' to turn the boat right, of which I found an alternative which is to stay in and stretch out my arms to sweep. Also tend to 'go out' whenever Jarrod's not stretching cause I keep hitting his ass. ;D Haha. Dont know an alternative for that. Maybe the new stroke will solve everything. Just gotta say hello to thigh cramps and serious pains in the ass.

Lol. The video making also made everyone crazy. Seriously, flutters + squeeze + pullups + wipers + oyx game + 300 pushups... lol, who gets so energized after training.

That was... until someone pissed me off...

[ Now Listening To: All American Rejects - I Wanna ]

Damn. Woke up late today. Haha. 1st training of the year, already late. Lol. 4th time already. Hahas.

But seriously weekend bus frequencies are evil!!! 4 buses to take to macritche from Thomson Road, yet it took 10 minutes for one of them to come.

Training Log
Program: 10k mileage, 1x500m sprint, 4x250m sprint
Boat: Billy C2
Time Taken: Unknown - Didn't time damn
Capsizes: Zero!!!
Rests:Once at 7k, a long one after 10k, a short one after 500m sprint.

[ Now Listening To: Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - You Better Pray ]

Hell yeah! Didn't capsize this year yet! And wtf, Hadrian of all people got first blood. Lol. The 10k row was damn tiring. Right shoulder was in pain for first few kilometers. But after the rest at 7k, felt slightly better. And because of that me and Jarrod we're damn off-form. And the odd thing is that we could still glide despite our lack of syncronization. Lol. Imagine our speed when we sync. Holy crap!

[ Now Listening To: Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas ]

The last 3k after the rest finished quite fast though... I think... maybe I was just tired. Gah! Cant imagine tanking 22km for SCM which is freaking 2 weeks later. Damn. The sprints were okay I guess for the first time. The first few sets was shit, but the 3rd 250m set was quite good. :] Our burst is definitely a work in progress, especially syncing the up in rotation, which involve direction control as well. Gah. Starts too. The first few sets were bad because of bad starts which made the direction go haywire thus making us panic and get even more tired.

[ Now Listening To: Rihanna feat. Young Jeezy - Hard ]

Golden rooster and LAN after training. Nothing special.
Gonna go starbucks to finish my art hw tmr... Damn. Holiday's ending...
DLim better come on mon/tues cause I want my protein damnit!

Been thinking of reviving my blog for quite some time, and I finally have the balls to do so. Heh. It's a new year, new beginning right. :]

[ Now Listening To: Ne-Yo - Miss Independent ]

Maybe I'll use this blog for my training log too. Been thinking of doing that for some time too...

2009. Love or hate it? I guess it's a bit of both. It's sad when you have to leave your old friends especially when you're going to a completely new school. But that's what I have set my mind to the beginning of last year. I want a FRESH and BRAND new start, and I got it. :]

[ Now Listening To: Britney Spears - If U Seek Amy ]

It wasn't easy. But I managed. And I realised one thing though. What you are will be what you are forever. Just look at VS leaders - leaders in secondary school, leaders in JC. Head prefects in secondary school, council president in jc. It's an unfair cycle, because in jc, i reliased, it's all a popularity contest. Maybe its just ACJC, but it's what I noticed.

And because of that, starting afresh is DEFINATELY not easy when hell no one knows you and dont even know what you are especially when you're not a high profile type.

I wanted to start anew, wanted to be a different person, but I just couldn't leave who I really am. =/ I wanted to be with people, I wanted lots of shit that didn't even come true.

Gave trying out for council. Gave up trying for CCA heads. I regretted it.

[ Now Listening To: Pixie Lott - Mama Do ]

But I did try out for House Captain in the end. Haha. I guess I really couldn't give it all away... I just wanted a name... and maybe do something with my life.

I regretted more shit though. Like not trying out for scholarships, or CIP opportunities, or even job attachment or external H3s...

Frankly, I dont even know what went through my mind when I gave up applying for those.

But I still managed though. There's always silver linings. Made a hell lot of new friends in AC. And it's partially due to me giving up on giving up.

[ Now Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone ]

I really like to thank the Barker boys. They really accepted me like one of them. :] Accepted me so much so that everyone else thought I was from Barker Road myself. Haha. I dont mind though. That school is huge!

I want to thank ACanoe, both girls and boys, i mean, boys and men, for providing me a clique to stick to through this year. Seriously, ACJC is nothing without its cliques. It's like a survival factor vital for your stay during these 2 years. Not only that, canoeing really made me appreciate sports and physical activities. Glad to say my 2.4km drastically improved, though it's still considered a bad timing for a canoeist, I'm still happy to improve. It goes the same with Pull-ups. Haha. Used to be my worst, now it's my best. :]

I want to thank CCAAB. Seriously, it widened my circle of friends. Facebook was spammed with 'Musli and ______ are now friends'. Haha. Loved it. Both the company and the leadership experience, even though it was my 4th visit to Jalan Bahtera. Lol. But it was my first time doing zipline, and I do not wish to go through what happened there. OMG. So embarrassing, but everyone was so supportive. :] Thanks Baden-Powell.

[ Now Listening To: Fall Out Boy - I Don't Care ]

My class. Its a love hate relationship I guess. Soooo much politics in there. And most of it is thanks to you Jacq. Haha. I think I jumped cliques in there quite a number of times... omg... But thanks though to my class... Haha. Gerald, especially you, my fellow eastee, THANKS FOR YOU SUPPORT. SERIOUSLY!!! Despite my criticism, thanks...

My OG. Even though we horridly split a few weeks after orientation, it was still meaningful as my first few friends in AC, even though 2 are from VS... Haha. I must really thank Alfie and Hannah too, being like my first acquaintances there. Need I say more?

Alfie. :] You're a bitch.

Which goes to show that I really NEED people to know me. Need in bold and underlined many many times for emphasis. I simply couldnt give THAT away.

[ Now Listening To: Ciara feat. Justin Timberlake - Love Sex Magic ]

Studies-wise, i really got nothing to say. The fact that my class kept saying 'Why are you in our class? Go join SC1...' shows something. Haha. And it's not helped by the fact that I was hang around some of the sconers. Lol.

And it got me to the SIM thingy. Not really sure if it is THAT advantageous, but heh, it's still recognition. And I guess it's something I cant live without either.

Still thinking of getting a H3 subject. I dont know really. Internal H3 is such a pain. I REALLY regret not getting an external one... =/ The game design one sounds interesting. Too bad you need physics. HAHA. Screw physics.

Bio + Art combo ftw. Full stop.

That's pretty much my school life for 2009. Now just to tackle 2010, starting with J1 orientation. Like I said, I need people, and I can't leave this company. Lol. I'm such an extrovert introvert.... Seriously.

Ooh. I just reliased I'm a morning person in 2009. Just reliased I'm super stone at night... talk about a 17 year lag... =/

Fun-O-Rama. OMG. I"M SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!! Just another event to burn another hole in my wallet. Seriously ACJC is such a money leecher... My heart sinks with each dollar I have to pay for fundraising.

[ Now Listening To: Panic At The Disco - New Perspective ]

One thing I love about AC is the SHIRTS!!! Hahaha. My closet is now ACfied as much as me. Lol. And I'm sure there's more shirts to come. *hint* jumble sale, i'm waiting *hint* Could never get to one because of canoeing in 2009. But I forsee 2010 being a good year, despite the A-Level.

A-Level. I think i'll focus on this after my other commitments are over. :] That seems to be the trend right now... Haha.

[ Now Listening To: Taylor Swift - You're Not Sorry ]

Nationals. I have high hopes for this. I dont want my CCA to close down. Me and Jarrod are there. C2 ftw! As for dragonboat... I'll let the team decide for me. It's a team sport after all. I'm up for giving up my Sundays for it. Not sure about the rest though...

Slightly reluctant for Canoeing Marathon though. 22km of C-paddling is just another way to spell DIE. Jarrod, I'm sorry if I'll hate you after that. Though I think that wont be the case - your bullshittyness never cease to amaze and amuse me. Lol. Bruno + borat ftw.

So here's my new years resolution:
1) A-Div Top 4.
2) C2 Silver.
3) 6As for A-Level. Couldn't get one MT already... =/ But I can still aim high.
4) Alfie. I'll get you soon enough... though you're making it REALLY hard
5) And finally, my superficial resolution for the year - I'll rid of my specs in school! I'll try (again) to wear contacts instead. :]

[ Now Listening To: 3OH!3 - Don't Trust Me ]

But seriously, if anyone knows how to ask someone who hates public places and movies out, tell me...

On second thought, strike that last sentence out.

[ Now Listening To: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance ]

Love this song!
Here's to a nice 2010 ahead. :]
