9:28:00 pm
2nd August Sat. Met marilyn at city hall at around 9.45am and we almost got lost walking to Millenia Walk for the Citi Foreign Exchange Trading. It was pretty fun! But we didn't know what we were doing! Haha and so we did pretty badly! Haha! But it was fun :) And the 2 guys in front of us were like the best in our challenge. They earned the most money! And kept high-fiving throughout. Like dots. The food afterwards was VERY good tho! Western! With spaghetti, coleslaw, fried fish w mayo, n fries! :) Had to make a BIG detour all thanks to ndp rehearsal when I tried to walk from marina square to vch. I'll blog about concert another time with pics! Cuz haven't gotten all the pics yet!
3rd August Sunday. A terrible me with severe lack of sleep had to drag myself down to teach from 930-6.45pm! Only with a 30min break. But I survived. Afterwards met ttk for Pizza hut yummy dinner! :)
4th August Mon. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. I had driving in the morning. Where I got more convinced I won't be able to pass circuit! Then, headed to school immediately after. Met Marilyn (late again!) at FAL to print stuffs etc before going for aa202 lecture at LT19! After which we went to NIE to buy texts and I came back n did the usual 5.5km run. Slept late cuz leewei came over n we talked while I packed the room for the first time since moving in! Did I mention living with sis rocks! I didn't do ANYTHING but bring things in dump, and go out again. And yet the whole place is dust free, clean, and my bed was MADE!
5th August Tues! 830am I had aa201. First seminar of the new academic year. I was enthu and volunteered as class rep to up my class participation points by my level! wahaha. Seeing how it constitutes 10% and how I simply REFUSE to speak up in class. After 1030 we had nothing else on. After FAL-ing, I took a short swim at SRC. It was an interesting day, and a VERY crowded pool. The lifeguards were there. Sis' fren Jonathan was there. Bekky came too! And so did leewei. I did a 1.5km and spent the first half trying to dodge ppl. The pool was so choppy, I think it was like a mock sea-swim! Afterward had driving at ubi and went home for dinner. Taught the two little kids a make-up piano lesson, then dad fetched me back to hall where I did some readings till I fell asleep pretty much early.
6th August Wed! ab228a 830am AGAIN. Quite boring. I don't like ppl to ask what're your career goals and that was exactly what we had to answer in class. SO dots. After that, walked with Marilyn to NIE again. She went to buy books and I went for AAI181 on Romantic and 20th Century Musical Practices elective class. Met tons of band ppl there. Made some new friends. And was sorely disappointed because tHAT was not what I was expecting at all. I just didn't like the entire atmosphere. And to me, studying music is NOT like that at all. Very disappointed :( Met vivien for lunch at NIE canteen and had a good chat! After which came back to hall, fell asleep for awhile, prepared finish for tmr's sem's class, some readings, and headed to SRC for training.
VERY strange. You know biathlon is swim then run. But ever since I really joined them in March, I've yet to EVER do a swim then run situation. Really strange since usually that's their norm trainings! But we did run first cuz the pool was pretty crowded with swim team and lifeguards. Sumiko trained us. At least I didn't die although we did like skipping. So I discovered how to skip on wednesday. 10x400m interval. Which was pretty okay cuz we went at a okay interval. We did some drills which left my butt aching like nobody's business. Swam a little.
Marcus made me go up to the band room. Imagine, after training, still had to climb tHAT long flight of steps! And so we concluded, it's REALLY long. So he tried the horn for the first time in uh 5 years? Haha. And so at last I got to see and hear him playing the horn. How funny! I saw Mr Oura also. So after Nanyang House we walked to Ah fang to meet the rest for dinner. Lance stepped on shit which was damn smelly. AND like I predicted, by the time we reached back hall, it's 12midnight!! I KNEW IT. Sigh. So by the time I bathed and waited for my hair to dry (NO HAIRDRYER!) and did a little readings, it was 1+am :(
7th August Thurs. 830am AGAIN. Marilyn was late again. And somehow I got a new name 'Justin'. I wondered what happened to 'James'. Anyway don't you think marilyn should work at Merrill Lynch! Sounds the same RIGHT! WHAT A WASTE for our aa202 project group :( I think next time marilyn and me should just be together only. THEN good things will come our way hahahhaha. Now I like my aa201 group but not 202 :( Sigh I forsee uncomfortable-ness. I mean our classmate for some long doesnt even know me n marilyn's name. Like huhh.
We went NIE agAIN. To line up to buy Scotts. The queue was so long, end up no Scotts. And I was LATE for driving. So I spent the whole afternoon going to Ubi at 3pm for driving. Being convinced I can't pass. And travelling all the way back with a dead hp and many ppl trying to contact me. Reached back around 6.15 and was considering going for swimming training when Marcus asked me to go NIE. So I went and got accepted into NIE without having to audition. Lots of ppl's names I know on the list. But marcus doesn't wanna join there anymore :( But I guess I might go on Friday just to see how. After that, since he was going to intro to capoeira I kinda was dragged to go as well. Had a little fun learning some moves. Except that since I was late again, a little lost again. And seeing how noob I am at these kinda hand leg coordination thingy, hAHA. Thank goodness for marcus. I just followed him! But it was a pretty cool experience.
We went back for block supper! Didn't really get to know ppl from my block sadly. Thank goodness for marcus n leewei who came over to find me after sometime! Altho I know it's the food tt they came for. Haha. But STILL! So marcus leewei me n their og group's best freshie shaun went for supper hop around the other blocks. Since it was pouring and marcus was stuck in hall 15 anyway. haha. block71 had yummy PIZZA plus POPCORN CHICKEN. So we recruited more ppl like xinyi and made our way around! Ended up at 69 and with marcus' OG hearing them talk nonsense till late. Hardly did much work before sleeping.
8th August Friday. Swam with leewei in the morn. Met bekky again! And we tried to recruit this other girl who was swimming! Met sis! Slept a little, came home. Ran my 9.2km. Aching everywhere.
One week ago somehow seems like an eternity ago! Long days are the culprits!
Olympics 2008! :)
