Update



It frightens me how time really flies during the school term. I would not say I'm so busy to the extent i've no time to provide some updates abt myself. My chatterbox tagboard has once again died due to severe inactivity...I think I couldn't be bothered too much about myself anymore, let alone updating you about what's happening to dear ernest. So the major things which happened the past 15 weeks or so...

1) Squash recruitment of newbies...not v successful =/

2) Clocked 100km on the treadmill in 5 weeks..lost 6-8kg approx....Didn't think i'd have the persistence to become a hamster and didn't think losing that amount of weight is possible in such a short span of time...but TaaDaa! it happened...so i'm gonna try again next term...tis time round gonna incorporate more stuffs into the regime..stuffs like skipping etc. Don't wanna be hamsterified.

2) Went for a couple of sailing sea trainings and learnt the ropes of the bow position. Very interesting n challenging.

3) Continue to drag myself to sunday japanese lessons. I really need to ask myself if my passion still remains.

4) Learning how to play the Settlers boardgame. Mr Tea is our new Mind Cafe.

5) Went to take JLPT3 exam (which I'm so gonna fail la) and missed the chance of running 42.195km. Arggh.

6) Went to see my longtime RJ pal Jerry off at the airport. It's gonna be another 6 months or so b4 he comes back from exchange. And with this it also means more people are leaving for exchange :(

7) And somehow, I'm meeting a lot of new faces this term such as the whole bunch of SMU Sailing. And it's quite sad I haven't been catching up with oldtime pals...4B gang, Alvin, Serene, Michie etc. And definitely definitely, I know i'm beginning to lose some of these people...sigh.

So as you can see...as I recall some of the more significant things, it occurs to me that life continues to be quite plain-sailing and underachieving. The pockets of time between one event and another are mostly lost to the absolute nothingness of the unfathomable mind. Mugging really hard? well, i do recall spending countless hours in the library both studying and goofing around...but i wouldn't say I really mugged hard. The 5 mods i took this term felt like 3 mods out of sheer luck - slack work + slack profs. Wanna thank harvey again for constantly whipping the project teams to get started on the project...definitely gonna feel the impact next term in his absence...spiritually and physically....right Harvey? you'll become s***c*** buddies with our anti-spam mail gd friend huh...

And yes, I hate takin' night classes! cos of Thurs 7pm Equity class, couldn't go for sailing PT :(
