Totally emptied. My tank is now empty. No more energy left. The activities for the past three days have been energy sapping to say the least. I had PT on tuesday. It was raining a little so we did our PT in the clock tower. Sir changed the normal jogging routine into 6 minutes of jumping jets, meaning we did about 180. "One two three, ONE". This exercise it self tired out my calves, quads and hamstrings all at the same time. Stayed back to talk about old arcade games and reliving fond memories. Rock.

Wednesday. Ortus Carnival. Helped out in 3L's haunted house. In there it was hot, stuffy, everyone was sweating like mad. Gaobin was messing things up. But still I had so much fun that I didn't have much energy left after that to do other stuff. I wore a damn scary mask, stood in front of them with my arms outstretched. So, those students thinking that I would scare them, would focus totally on me. Then wenjib would move in for the kill by scaring them right when they are totally focused on me. Pwned.

Today. We went trekking from Bukit timah hill to Mandai Zoo in a rain on the forest trail. Totally Pwned. We were wet, muddy, sore, tired, hungry and happy all at the same time when the zoo kfc was in sight. To add to injury, we had weights training in the afternoon. So at that time, the three leg muscles were wrecked, my shoulders, chest and triceps were also getting worked. Had a really stupid time after the actual training though, through some air-con, a digicam and some weights room equiptment.

I am beginning to cherish the time I spend with my teammates more and more. I can feel that during the exams it brought us apart and now we are getting back together as a team we should be. Laughing, sweating and laming together. Luckily(and unfortunately) we are stuck together in Judo for the next three years, so there's still time for us to get together alot.

Not funny.

Picked up a Chinese book on Saturday, quite interesting. Its about living your shitty life with laughter,and is aptly named 《哈哈笑,过苦日子》。 Thick and Cheap. $9.90.

A rather fresh breath of air for me since I don't usually pick up chinese books by myself and start reading them. Besides that, this type of motivational books aren't what I normally read. It offers many short stories and jokes to bring out some quirks and wrong things we are doing in our lives. Like how we always say "but I thought" even when it means "I was too lazy to check", or how we tend to focus on minor itty gritty details instead of looking at the real issue. There are about 5 chapters, each with 15-20 short stories.

Maybe it's just what I need to idle off my holidays as well as help myself take things easily.

Maybe it can help me live a better live, a more fufilling life.

Just maybe.
