bloop bloop bloop

5 hours

it's almost 3am now and i've absolutely nothing constructive since i got back from the library at 9 plus pm. that's 5 fucking hours ago. i didn't know it's that long. these are times when i hate my room.

send me off for time wasting.

i need to play soccer.

news flash in brief

- finally submitted my fyp report today.. an end to the countless days of intensive brain juicing. all in, i wrote only about 50 odd pages of rubbish, but that will do. i can't imagine my supervisors and examiner taking more than a cursory glance at all our hard work. i'm tired man. but it's not over yet.. that bitch of a report has got a second calling due in a couple weeks.. the amended final report or whatever. when can i start attending my lectures and tutorials again...?

- xphysique's over. we finished somewhere in the anonymous middle of the pack, and didn't bother to stay behind for the results that day. abseiling went okie.. not that scary. in fact, it's nothing much once u get both legs over that 6 storeys high ledge. we ran like dogs right from the start, covering a hefty distance from youth park till marina bay. got stuck with a screwed up bike during the cycling element and everyone were just breezing past me. no good. the river crossing part was lame. canoeing was tiring.. and that's about it.

of all days, my body chose to give up on me during the event. initially my left knee gave way. then something went wrong somewhere under my ribs, and i ran the last few stations with what felt like stomach cramps... fucckkkkk... the internal organs were all scrunched up in a knot.. most disturbing. i tried to hold my breath and run, but realised that i couldn't go very far like that. i had no choice but to wobble along like a wuss. but still, our team had fun.


- today, something's wrong with my knees still. i climbed the stairs like i'm 75, with sharp pain somewhere. maybe soccer this sunday will put things right.. it's been too long man.. i'm leading a deprived life.


- diving at pulau lang tengah 30th march till 2nd april. 3 projects and 2 assignments to complete by then. and an amended fyp report. 10 days. then comes exams. i'm brilliant at getting myself into shitloads of agony really.

- the green form appears on the table asking me to tick the date that i'll vacating my hall. i don't feel quite ready for this. i'm actually graduting soon.. a bit too soon. i signed it with somewhat a heavy heart.

facing death and spitting in its face, and then start a new blog.

i'm an invalid.

the bane of meritocracy.

my final year project report is due in 8 days. i estimate around 60 pages is needed. a whole week of good intentions, and i'm still at page 2 of the introduction. not to mention the other 4 projects due within a month. if this is football i'll get red-carded for time wasting.

up to my ass with all these stuff to do. or up to my neck. whichever is more intense. and did i do them? nope. i casually flick it off my mind and started a new blog instead.

oh-brilliant-shit.blogspot.com

this is where i'll detail down whatever places that i've explored. my travel blog. where i show off my skillfully edited photos. starting from the recent Gunung Stong trip. will add more when i find time.

fyp fyp.. i am much braver than i think i am, or ought to be.

one more time

today is a cloudy day, a hollow weekend

so is this the end that is long overdue, or yet another false alarm? i'm tired too. shall not think about this for now.

i'm feeling absolutely moodless to do anything that requires thinking right now. would have gone for a run, but for the niggling knee problem that's back again. a little longer than usual. hope it holds up for tmr's xphysique.

speaking of which, i'm not even sure how the event is like. zero preparations. not that i mind though. would have joined it just for fun.. but now that i think of it.. i do need to raise some money if i'm to go mt kinabalu and diving in may..

fond memories of such races.. in the 'Mazing Singapore Race, zijing + fei + feli + me.. Team Cucumber finished 6th out of 100++ teams.. but if anyone would care to listen, we were firmly headed for the top 3 spots till the organizers screwed it all up. still, that was a good experience. we were a happy team then.

in the NTU ODAC's Rat Race, junwen + feli + me, we finished 3rd, and we strongly suspect the 2nd team cheated. still, we were a happy team.

then in the Great Maritime Adventure, fei + feli + me, we got promoted to 3rd after the team ahead of us got disqualified. easiest race among the 3, kinda silly.. and lotsa money. Won $5k and some mp3 players, though ironically, that was the saddest time, and also our last event together.

i hope we have fun tomorrow, alda + weisiong + zhenhan + me. dun fall off from abseiling and die. thinking about abseiling makes me nervous, just a little.
