im outta time

Busy.

Either that or there isnt any motivation to write something here. So show me that somebodys still readings this by tagging on the tagboard (shameless attention whoring)

Skipped all the tutorials this week, i mean whats the use of attending them if im not even prepared for them.
________

Rock song in acapella? Bad idea. At least i didnt made anyone thats listening feel like chopping their ears off. I feel that people doing the comments are being friendly.

Wheres the real constructive remarks?

Maybe thats why Noel left Oasis because i butchered their song during my presentation.
________

Somehow my ability to screw up stuff reached greater heights. Think first then speak, not the other way round. They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. To me, the mouth is even mightier than the pen.

________

You should seriously go read what people actually write on their nomination forms.

Perhaps its not such a good idea for someone that couldnt even construct proper sentences be in charge of publications.

Note the pattern of mainly non-Singaporeans running for Union Representatives?
________

Murphy's Law in action once again. Why is it that when you want to sneak out of the house (dont ask, its not what you think it is), your parents decide to sleep really late that night.

________

How come everyone thats single is getting 'oh youre so old already better find a girlfriend soon' messages. The problem is, how come im not getting them?


Unless they predict that i will remind single for my entire life (high probability of that happening, according to danny).

you dont know danny

I know that i shouldnt be affected by such trivial matter but its in my head for the past few hours.

Others' emotions affect me. I should be really happy right now due to my shortlisting but somehow im not. And its emotions of someone that isnt that close to me to begin with!

What's wrong with me? cheer up okay?

random musings of week 1


In case you dont get it, the guy in glasses is the same.

So you know your music, but it doesnt mean that you can sing. I went for this choir elective audition where there's this guy that's going

'oh he's a semitone flat'

'hmmm, he cant follow the rhythm at all'

throughout the entire audition. And hes loud enough to be heard from the piano.

Unless hes a really good singer, I seriously think that he should keep his remarks to himself, or share them with his friend discretely.

__________

One's a real slacker that doesnt attend lessons and another has girlfriend duties. Coming soon: Lunch Alone.

Yeah you can easily say 'just get other friends to have lunch with you.'

Easily said then done. Everyone has their clique thats formed over two years in mse. Its difficult to break into a tightly-knitted group and knowing myself, its even tougher due to my personality.

__________

Had this weird sense of deja vu. Feels exactly like the chief programmer situation last year.

Offered something - Check
Someone else with better qualifications coming into picture - Check
Offered a deputy position - I really hope not

If im underqualified in everything that im trying for, then theres no way that im ever going to be qualified for anything if nobody gives me this break.

Never compromise in what you believe in.

And the madness begins

A break from FOC.

School's started. Not much excitement for the first day. Frankly speaking, i didnt spent much time on the spine today due to my early morning elective at ADM, which was really interesting, and lunch at canteen 2.

Lectures really boring, i'm still on the sleep at 2am and wake up at 2pm schedule. And add in OJT's sleep inducing voice, its no wonder that 20% of the lecture hall fell asleep.

Wednesday's going to be crazy. 5 hours break. Somehow i got a feeling that will be like my mugging session when the mid-terms start.

FOC: Day 1/2


Got back from FOC. Somehow it didnt lived up to the hype. Being an SA is really boring. Either that my OG is boring or I'm boring.

Day 1

*Morale is easily shattered.
- just one wrong move during the first day and with encouragement from the GLs made the entire group depressed. I dont really know where the group went but judging from the pictures and points they got, I got a feeling that went to slack at one corner.

Somehow during Senior Camp, the RPG isnt that lousy at all. However, that was done with smaller groups and with people that knows each other other.

*I can really talk if I want to
- all the SAs are tasked as station masters and to pass time, there's only one thing to do - talk. And I managed to keep it going for like a couple of hours. Not bad for someone thats known as the 'fiercest senior during the camp'.

*yellow, peach and white on yellow is a bad idea.

- Im never an arts person but I know a bad colour combination when I see one. And our flag is one such example. Furthermore, I cant see the group's name on first glimpse. To think that our group has 3 ADM people in it.

Day 2

*killer slopes ahead
- i wonder if anyone drives a manual vehicle in the area. Its liken to that infamous slope on the Teck Whye test route sans traffic. Its like a nightmare when youre trying to do a three point turn while trying to prevent the engine from stalling.

*the right bus takes forever to come

- and the worst thing to come out of that? its full when it comes. Made us play the catch up game.

And we did managed to lead the second pack at the end of the day, coming back from being last in the entire race. Thats like the most satisfying feeling I had out of the entire camp.
