Sigh. Guilty.

We had two tests today, one being a physics test, while the other was the IH2(Geomorphology) test.

Physics was a mixed bag of feelings. Some parts of the paper I had quite alot of confidence in. Then there was the part about specific latent heat of fusion, something that was really not what I had totally studied in depth for. Anyway, I should be able to get at least a pass for this test, since everyone says so.

Geomorphology was quite ok. Actually, it was really easy if you studied for it. But as we all know, physics took more importance than Geomo the night before, so I just did a short recap of what happened before the test. Btw I intended to use the 40 min of recess to study for IH2, but in the end there was only a 10 mins break from the physics test. Pwned. I should be able to get at least 17-20/30? yeah. sumthing like that.

Training sucked. Totally sucked. Mok scolded us for 45 minutes. But then, this time I could hear from her recount of the sequence of events that we were very much in the wrong this time. Passing out is cancelled. Probably will go down in history as one of the bigger blunders in CHS judo history. Nevermind about that.

Went to play soccer for about 10 minutes just now, and the fellas were playing 'square'. As we shot the balls, the security guard came up to lock the door. We didn't really care much about him and continued shooting. After awhlie I felt abit bad cos he was still standing there. Feeling bad like the nice guy I am ;) I decided to go home ahead of the other guys. When I was standing near the lift, I heard the security guard mumbling stuff like "whats the point of being educated" and "mother father never teach you" and heard the f-word in its different grammatical forms. That really set my guilt off, second time I felt guilty about anything in a day. I think we were very much in the wrong. But it's too late. Just promised myself that I will be more considerate to the peeps around me in the future.

Gonna play Zero Hour later.

School today was on the verge of being unbearable. Seriously.

Chinese lesson. We had a presentation by Kaishin about some chinese poem from some poor guy in China. Did't really catch what Kaishin said since he was mumbling all the time. I mean one look of the slides and it would be obvious to anyone that you Ctrl-c'ed it from some "ulu" chinese website! Seriously doubted that Kaishin really knew what he was going on and on about. Luckily Songjun was there to entertain me and yeong keong with his continuous and consistent barrage of crap.

Here's an example: "Mirror Mirror on the wall, whos the fairest of them all, [then he] say Soi Moi"

Speaking of Soi Moi, she's starting to get on my nerves. Always asking us to ask her questions. Thats not all. When we ask her questions, she will look at us in a very disgusted manner(maybe its just her face, i dunno), and start explaining it to us in a very pained manner. Like it kills 76,347,826,428 brain cells to explain the solution to us. I am starting to dread her lessons.

Assembly was a talk on BGR, with velden and some guy in 3L as panalists. Throughout the whole assembly me and Yijia were niaoing yeong keong all the way, first about zijing, then about charmaine, then about a rumoured RGS girl. He keeps saying that its not true, he doesnt have a girl friend, but hey, there can't be smoke without fire right? Summore he keeps informing me about the happenings of the girls around him. I can give you three examples.

1) Charmaine(spel?) tried to prank yeong keong but he was very smart and he punk'ed her back.
2) Told me about zijing's nick(!?!?!?!? umm. for what.)
3) Told me about amanda finding out that we call her mandy (another ?!?!?!?!? let her find out. WGAS)

This came to my mind in a manner of 30 secs. Shows how much he does that.

Not much happened during assembly, was abit spooked by the abortion video until Hon stopped it.

IH was ok-ok. Not much complaints abut Chan.

Very happy today because I am now finanlly able to "zam3" a soccer ball at a reasonably high speed, albeit with a slight curl and spin. Still cannot figure out how rui qing manages to shoot one that doesn't spin. That kind would be very beautiful.
Arrgh. Seems like everyone around me is mugging for IH1 test tomorrow. I shall do the same!

Exorcist

After grad night, me and the other judokas went to the swimming complex for a wash-up, which was pretty new to the sec ones. They was either a gay amongst them or just shy, because our showers weren't covered and they didn't want to shower. Thus our rendezvous at the swimming pool took some time.

But that's besides the point.

Imagine you being perfectly tired to the point that you'd sleep immediately given the chance.
Imagine that after a nice bath you were forced to take, you go to the Space, all ready to conk out.
Imagine that you still have to endure 15 min of stupid briefing.
Imagine that you only have 5 hours left before you have to wake up to do CIP.
Now imagine that after all that crap, 60% of the people around you want to watch the Exorcist, which claims to be the scariest movie of all time, at that time.

That was the situation on the night b4 CIP. Actually, I couldn't be bothered with that show, since im worried that i wont be able to wake up in time. My discman was ready to block out the sounds, but in the end the screams were too loud, to the point that when i use Jamie Cullum to block it out it is too loud for me to sleep. So what the hell. The show is indeed disturbing, in the sense that it is VERY graphical. You can see green vomit, hopelessly disfigured face, 360 degree turns with the head... so on and so forth. Velden was damn spooked by it. He refuses to think about it even until now when im chatting to him. Keob was ok with the show, keeps talking about the girl looking like sith from star wars(yeah right, ur just trying to calm urself down). Carl and Wenjie seem to be warming up to each other, which will be good in the future. Jitneng was also ok-ok.

But somehow the spook of the film wasn't really imprinted on me. I cant even remember much of the film. Probably because I've learnt in P4 how to shut my mind and just go to sleep. I was able to not think of the show when I tried to sleep, which was probably how I managed to not get spooked. And most importantly, thank God for being who I always thought about when I feel abit spooked.

What a weekend.

It's hard to imagine that i have done things in the span of a day(24 hours) that I normally wouldn't do in a week. This is at least some sense of personal accomplishment. Here is a short summary of what I/we did.

Watched 2 horror movies (sort of)
4.5 Hours at Grad nite.
Ate roughly 8 pieces of Sirloin Steak.
2 hours of sleep.
6 hours of CIP.
Gave away about 200 goodie bags.
2 hours of East Coast cycling.
Listened to Twentysomething at least 5 times.
Jacked Yeong Keong 9 times.
Missed Church.
Spent 13 hours of sleep recuperating.
Actually slept in the GEPPERS' room(oh man).
