my screwed up life

perhaps it will be gd if i start tiz entry with some happy updates.

trg today, we ran to national stadium n did circuits there. weather was exceptionally hot today. partner was wenya. today we used 2 small boats for trg n i realised tt SDBA is getting more n more crowded recently wif all e true blue c gin na's ard coz all e sch camp companies decided to integrate dragon-boating into their activities in e attempt to teach kids a little about teamwork? SDBA was crowded, n so was the water traffic. We used the area at Cosy Bay to practise our strokes instead coz Sheares Bridge was bustling with activties n all e mini competition tt was gg on among those c gin nas. Check out the way they hold the paddles. N they were happily rocking the big boat[left side rowers all sitting on e left gunwail while right side rowers all sitting on e right gunwail] in an attempt to test if it is possible to capsize in a dragonboat. I seriously dunnoe what they r thinking, or what their camp instructors r thinking.

i'm ald starting to miss u ald, wenya! I really like u and want u to b my back supporter when doing pull ups. But..but =[ you2 kou3 nan2 yan2. serene supported me for 2(or was it 3, cant remember) sets. The thing tt came into my mind when she supported(or didnt?) was, "gravity doesnt exist; the Earth just sucks" Pulling ur entire weight up is really, very xin ku!! Having to really overcome gravity's pull n to have ur head go above the bar..*Constipated sound* I still need help, really. I havent mastered it yet, can i have my fav supporter back..pls?

Aft bathing, 14 of us went for the lunch planned by welfare at Settlers Cafe. I have to admit, some board games r really bored[eg Jenga, which isnt exactly a board game lah]; others r really technical[like tt rat race one where the guy kept trying to explain to us but we juz cldnt get it n i started bursting out in laughter coz it was so hillarious seeing everyone's 'huh' expression]. Our table which consisted of serene, mona, cheez, vic, jul, me, wendy, geoks played taboo n the game of life. Taboo was played in a bid to kill time while waiting for the food to be served--we were in search of a person who can describe e most words n i set e record of 14, not bad~ hah; The game of life was played coz it was a more no-brainer game n e next best alternative aft we all gave up totally on Rat Race. Gotta admit, starting of the game of Life is rather messy but aft tt its really simple.

I opted to be the banker coz i was kinda nua-ing n didnt wanna play n was deemed e slowest banker of all. i had to continually ask 'which is?' when e players asked for their pay day. Come on lor, u all keep trading salary card how to keep track who gets $30,00 n who gets $100,000. Demanding players ah..hrmpf.wendy kept helping herself to e money coz she was sitting beside me[the banker] n i was way too slow in
issuing money, but i'd smack her hand when she touched e money. hahaha must protect the $$ mah! Some things tt r really worth learning aft playing The Game of Life:

1) u have gotta pay $100,000 for removing a tatoo-- very coincident tt e 2 who landed on tt spot happen to be pple who've got tatoos haha

2) u've got no choice but to foot $200,000[not including insurance] for the cost of a Victorian house, poor geoks, pick tt house.

3)everytime u spin and get a 10, u r caught for speeding and have to pay the policeman[serene] $5000.

4) cheeling collected the most $ frm the buying of stocks, ie buying up most of the numbers n each time a player spins n gets tt particular no. she gets $10,000.

5) if u r a banker n ur bladder's on e verge of bursting coz u drank too much green tea, just too bad. U cant leave the game until its over, even if it means u get zhua-ed throughout the entire game for being slow.

The other table also had their fair share of fun while playing the game 'zombie'. Some board games r really fun to play lah! We decided to bring some board games to play during e Penang trip. wahahaha.

ok, now e screwed up part. I dun need to elaborate further, i got back my results. i read wen's blog, it said smth like, 'wad am i doing in arts?'. my qn to myself is, 'wad am i doing in science?' OVERALL i improved though my CAP drop. It's like, to put it in another way, a gd race set but u dun emerge in a position tt u very much hoped for, tt kinda thing. last sem my grades were Bs n Cs, diz sem MOST were B n B-. And den i scroll down to see everything. All my modules. That 1 particular module ma1104, e one i sat thru all lectures n came out feeling defeated, e one tt i held back anger n tears while doing my tutorials week aft week at yih on tuesdays b4 gg for trg--tt module. i got a grade i used to think only went out to those who put their name on e exam script n handed in a blank script. The point is, i remembered sitting thru e entire paper; i did my workings, i did calculations. And more importantly, i can dui de qi my conscience by saying i did study for it! I even borrowed wendy's maths notes. I know tt i will screw up tiz paper, juz didnt expect myself to be capable of screwing up this bad.

Wendy, i'm really gg to follow ur footsteps le. All tt's btwn me n arts fac is OAM, n i can only apply aft 6/6. Anyway, if u havent seen my nick, den tiz is it--i've dried my tears, i will be strong, its about time i moved on. Give me some time to get over it.

  • hey dear i totally understand how you feel... ha so deja vu... i was goin thru all this exactly one year ago. well, in the end, it all boils down to fighting for yourself. if you are really prepared to endure and do all the arts mod at one go, then go for it. you won't not want to spend the rest of the 2 years kicking yourself for not doing what you really want. ha, no matter what ger, never give up, cause we are always behind you! we will up ten for ya all the way! HUGZ!
