Eutectic?

7am
7.30am
8am
9am. i dont seem like im going to be waking up
but i was awake
back to those days of terrible sleeps
need to drag myself out of the bed
its a chore
cant help it
today i lose it.. no more studying for me
i cant do it anymore
but what else it there to do?
i felt confident about the exams
but what if it dont go my way
yet again.. it somehow usually go my way
haha

im worried
worried about what can become of my knee
tomorrow i will head to NUH and tell them i want the surgery
31st july or 1st august
1st angust? haha.. what a day uh?
i feel that i need to do it as early as possible
dont want to drag
sometimes i asked myself why did i sign up as a programmer?
but what if i didnt? haha
i will be more of an inferior person

exchange exchange exchange
is such a thing undergrads wants to chase for
the global experience
the moment you have to say bye to your family and friends and out for months in a foreign land
mixed feeling indeed
for girls.. i think thats when they will truly learn about independence

there is still this part of me back in camp
back in ndu and air force
i imagine myself being a specialise and commanding all these young chaps who just got enlisted
and telling them about my story as a 31st batch trooper
i imagine myself learning how to fly a new aircraft side by side with lai
and leaving for dive trips with my best synced dive buddy
but im here in ntu
studying and wasting money
i begin to see why people like bill gates and steve jobs dropped out of college
degree dont benefit these people at all
but who am i to say i match up to them?
thats the dream we all should have..
thing of the possibilities out there even without a degree and an university life

i miss Bedok South
ICARE
i miss SRJC
to learn to serve
i miss NDU
nothing stands in our way

Revived

Took out my shoe. Put on my navy singlet and i ran. I ran the park connector that led me to east coast park. There. I sat on the huge rock for god knows how long it was. The sensation was good. I was revived there. That very moment. White washes bubbling up on the rock. Kids playing behind me. Rain drops on my face. All those dull in my was cleared away. I wasnt wrong that i missed the sea. Now i know. I cant live without it. Without having to enjoy sea breeze once in awhile. It that kind of relief that i felt. Blow all the troubles away.

Good run. Good weather. Later

Freshman Year

today is the end of study week for semester 2 of my year one
its has been quite a journey..
begun with sports camp
then hall camp
then sem one and sem two
life in NTU had good and bad times
new friends from all sorts of backgrounds...

some times i wonder if a degree will really bring me somewhere
somewhere that i will settle my life with
and work there until my last breath
things that we need to do to get our grades
what if one day there are no need for such a grading system?
the world should gone haywire
no one will ever study hard for exams and all
thats the sad truth
one thing i learnt from NDU is all humans are slut..
take ippt for example.. 9.14 is gold.. most people will just aim for that and not a lesser time
put this into perspective
GPA 5 seems unreachable for most of us
but what does GPA 5 really means
some times i asked myself why people including myself are chasing for this..
im tired of finding the answer..
yes the result will look good for resume indeed..
but what else does it truly matter?
work hard and enjoy life should be the emphasis
ill try to live by it...
too much influence from noises around
be surprised how these noises changes people

not blogging is not good for me
i kept thoughts in my mind and cant unleash them
cant organise them properly
still recall those days i blog almost everyday
my mind is always clear and straight and things and decision
but somehow with the advances of technology..
iphone and ipad and all..
i became much too lazy to even touch the app in my phone
sense a need to get back my thoughts in alignment
need to

end of year 1 with 5 papers..
it will end at 2nd May
after that we all will have nothing to do
have to start planning stuff to do after
if not we all will feel the void in us..
no need to touch books and notes anymore
that kind of feeling
feeling of freedom and lost at the same time
suck
ironic it is
luckily i have trips reservist and camps to look forward to
and finally the day i should start getting my formal sporting life back
ACL reconstruction
let me fly through those fields and climb those walls
conquering all kind of obstacles again
i need it
ACL save me from my misery!

Hooyah!

A high step

NIS is over. I got my open cat team gold. But somehow when im back here reflecting. I knew i could do better. Oh well. I guess its good enough to maintain the performance with that level of stress. Besides winning medals. I also got the chance to observe our team singapore shooters perform. Watching them shoot has a different kind of take away.

Took my sweet time and careless of all other stuff happening. Peace and joy. Me and myself only in the range. I scored 582.

I know i can do better.
I will.

A roller coaster ride

I asked myself if im prepared for the shoot today. Then i said to myself. In always ready. Mao xin pulled himself out and place me for the first team event. That level of expectation is... Consumming.

Preparation time was a mess. I cant draw my rifle because i was wearing slippers. And the armour guy also mess up on where was NTU's weapons. So the ten minutes was just a standing hopelessly kind of moment. Oh well. Did my sighters as productive as i can be. First series was depressing. Trying as much to follow what coach has been trying to tell me. But the competition mood total had me. No chance at all. 2 8s that i will never forget.

It wasnt all smooth and sweet there after. Got self-mind fucked big time when i realise the 20 over shooters behind me were pistolers. And only 3 rifler at jc and secondary level. Obviously they will shoot faster. Like alot faster than me. So if everything goes as what i expected. I will have 15 mins of fame for my last series. Zzz. What the shit was i thinking seriously. End up. I finished 6 mins before time and some pistolers ended 20s beofre time. Lol. What a joke.

Personal honour to be top of air rifle man cat for the day since only those few rifle man shot. Wait to see my scores drop by each day. I know i dod my best. All the best for Jonathan and Alexander. May us clinch our own NIS title!

NTU spirit!

NIS 2012

After months in the NTU Shooting team. I finally have my first shooting related shirt.
As host and shooting isnt that easy. People say thats a home advantage. But it not in this situation. Safra yishun is home of all shooters. Especially the national team and other school that doest have a shooting range in their campus. Nis. Im in the first team by chance. I hope for the best. Wish me for the best. And let me have the best.
