rowing in e rain, blister, detached deltoids
to start things off, ytd was my 1st day. Ok dun come and promote to me the pros of using a T instead of a P. For ur information, T and P this time round does not mean TP. I just dun wanna spell out the entire thing though its quite obvious wad it is anyway. I tried using the T twice b4 and it wont go in no matter how i relax n all. So i'd just stick with the reliable P.
As a result of having our gd ol auntie visit once a mth, i was slightly 'off' today. I dun lame tt well when i'm bleeding, literally n metaphorically speaking. U noe wad i mean. Anyway we ran n i partnered wenting. Then we rowed n 1st set e stroke rate was gd but 2nd set since wenting's pace is slightly faster than me i decided to accomodate to hers n we went faster. stroke rate exceeded what was targetted n as a result, many were more chuan. den mona came and told her to follow my timing; which is to pull slightly longer n slow down her pace to follow mine.
Wont go into the details of tan lines, i'm ok with it, shall juz go swimming to get rid of the tan lines. We rowed in the rain. Damn high lah!! I love to get caught in the rain, i really do. It really tests ur focus n concentration despite the heavy patter n tt e rain juz blows into ur face n ur eyes n u cant hear e coaxwain tt well coz of the howling winds. It was a blast, damn shiok. Ok i'm insane. Another thing tt i really love is waves. Yah, its leaves a damn high feeling when u flip up n though the timing will sometimes go abit off, u learn the importance of staying coordinated when faced with e odds.
Jul, wen n i went to suntec for lunch n to shop. Ok i admit its my fault, 3 bowls of la mien shd go wif 2 side dishes n if we ordered 2 bowls of la mien den can order 3 side dishes. I said i've got a huge hunger to satisfy so i got quite out of hand n ordered 3 bowls of la mien n 3 side dishes. Sorry ah, wad to do? b4 n aft rowing i've got an insatiable appetite, used up lots of energy wad. in e end i did help to eat up my share of food, but poor jul had to stuff herself wif her share of food n wenya was damn bloated aft she finished her share of food. Took a picture of jul being very stuffed. I dunnoe y, i was supposed to be 'off' today but den i started saying really out-of-the-world crappy things. Its a different kinda lameness altogether. Periods, they really do weird things to ur body. But i thought tt it was really funny when we were reminising back to our last water time trial n wen started recounting the story bout how she attempted desperately to climb up the tyres n clinging onto the rope for her dear life. and tt was the start of the 'siren' days. hahaha ok we really laughed so hard at e Crystal Jade!! Then we went shopping and i aint a shopper but i was more than happy tt jul was shopping for covered shoes and we'd step into shoe shops n i get to sit down. There was this reallly comfy pair of shoes at Bata thats so soft and so bendable. So fascinating.
We then walked to marina coz only tt branch of royal sporting house had the pink cap in e size tt she wanted. b4 tt we walked past Topshop and we walked in to browse n i just kept browsing while they tried on some clothes, which included racer back, so i waited outside the changing room for them. It was quite hillarious actually, they both came out, den exclaimed tgt, 'Shit, got ugly tan line! That's it, i'm not shopping for anymore clothes for today!' n dat's when i happen to notice that jul had a trademark chuppa chups tan line. Chuppa chups means 2 colours--like tt lollipop. Since she was wearing wrist guard on her punching arm, it got baked under the sun and e covered part was beige while e rest of her arm was red. Chuppa chups!!

I went to NUS today coz i had an appointment wif the vice dean of FASS, A/P Paulin Straughan. i sent out an email to her on monday to set a time where we cld have tea n ask her bout the possibility of switching course, of which she replied an 'ok' response, tt is, she was fine 2-3pm, Wednesday. In the email, she even asked me to bring my transcripts, O n A level certs and anything else tt can help assess my suitability for FASS. which i did lah, brought 4 certs--O n A level Cert, sec sch testimonial n JC leaving cert, n my transcript. I ald had everything in my head; i thought thru wad questions to anticipate n what to say, what not to say when answering some possible qn that she may ask. I wasnt nervous at all, really. It was tiz one shot, it had to be my best.
I reached e Dean's Office at 150pm, waited till 2pm, n the receptionist asked me to sit down and wait coz A/P Paulin and her secretary are still out and hasnt came back from lunch. So i sat down n juz flipped thru tiz Arts n Social Science bk which all e modules listed[yah tt bk! Mine's e Sci-ence one] which they had on e shelves. Then she came back from lunch, looking very flustered indeed, and the kind receptionist briefly told her that someone[me, of course] have scheduled an appt with her from 2-3pm regarding switching of course. She exclaimed, 'i have??' and den she juz asked if i brought necessary stuff and glanced thru my A level cert, muttered, 'hmm, yah u suit the arts requirement' and asked me to wait for a moment while she goes to her office.
She came out and introduced me to this other lady, which i think is her subordinate, to come and talk to me n make sure i know what i'm doing n to analyse the feasibility of a switch. And at tt pt in time i was like, -_-". U forgot an appt when u replied e email to me ytd, and now u arent even gonna talk to me. Sure v little/no chance le..boo hoo!! In my head i was still thinking tt on account tt both of us are Tays, she is Paulin Tay Straughan, maybe got higher chance. But i didnt even get to talk to her lah, other den show her my A level cert n transcript.
But actually her surbodinate was quite nice. I couldnt catch her name, or maybe i'm bad with names so i forgot her name. She asked bout y i wanna switch we analysed my modules taken so far. Really, quite feasible in e sense tt i can transfer all my 7 modules(6 maths n 1 life science module) to become my UEs. So all i'd need to do is juz to satisfy the remaining MCs like a typical arts student will have to. I left AS7 Deans Office at 224pm, aft e surbodinate went to ask OAM thru phone bout the likelihood of swtiching and told me tt i can only go ask them aft 6th June, coz they OAM is currently busy with the new intake of undergrads. Whether or not i can come over dp on e vacacies. My one shot at it, and now...i guess i juz gotta wait lor.
Went sci-ence to go in search of some happy food but the Jap stall tt serves katsu closed early. Sometimes i feel tt it doesnt rain but pours. I settled for e next best alternative--yong tau foo soup. Anyway, i was quite amazed tt the drink stall uncle actually recognises me. He asked(in chinese),"r u wearing contact lens" and i said "yes" and then he said, "oh No wonder u look quite familiar. I've seen u ard but u are always in spectacles." and in my mind i'm like, "woah uncle is really gd wif remembering faces n he actually noticed."
Den went to do gym and felt like i punctured le. shall end here, kinda tired n i havent packed for tmr's trg. abrupt ending, as usual.
