Run of Endurance...

haha... had cross-country run at Turf City today... after a whole wk of tinkin whether to pon or not... i finally decided to go for it... c... im soooo responsible rite??? *BHB actin up, pardon me for tt... :)*... must say tt the run was very very bad for me... cos after only abt a few hundred metres... i felt tt i really was a bit short of breath... sigh... the consequences of not trainin for quite some time... but i must say tt i am glad i managed to finish the race in the end... n i finished wif a position number of 216... hmm... not really fantastic lah... considerin the positions tt wk, set n cj had... but the most impt thing, as wk was sayin, was to do my best... n i tink i did... haha... :)
sneaked out of turf city wif alvin low... yeah!!! we were the first ones to be able to escape out w/o gettin caught... *erm, as if tt was smth to be proud of... but nvm...*... had a nice time today... i must say... tho the run has left me totally exhausted... n im lookin forward to a gd slp tonite... haha... :)... n it was exceptionally encouragin to c tt ur frens r cheerin u on durin the run... thx!!! :)...

Heart vs Brain...

haha... hmm... there's a qn which i tot i will pose to everyone to ponder abt... Datuk Set asked me one... so its worth ponderin arh???... haha... "do u believe in feelin frm the heart???"... hmm... well... a typical science student, like me, will say tt... "no, i dun believe in it... cos the heart has got no feelings.... i tink its the emotional side of the brain (whichever side tt is, cant rmb anyway...) tt's actually givin u this emotional feelings... n tt's wad pple call feelin frm the heart..."... haha... damn practical answer... but i guess pple call it feelin frm the heart cos they usually associate the brain wif rationalised tinkin... everything must hav logic... must hav reason... but some feelings cant be explained usin logic... like... how do u explain the fact tt u will pity a beggar on the street???... tt u will feel sad when u c images of natural disasters???... so pple termed it "feelin frm the heart"... well... dun noe if tt makes sense... can post ur tots to me lor.. haha... den i came up wif my own qn... is the brain superior to the heart???... a practical n scientific way of answerin this will follow this 2 lines of tinkin... 1) brain superior to heart, cos brain can control the heart... in terms of heart beats n such... 2) heart superior to brain, cos the heart is the ultimate organ which dictates whether u live or not... pple who r brain-dead r not really dead yet... but pple whose hearts r dead are DEAD... haha... so here's 2 ways of tinkin in a scientific manner... but i was tinkin of addin another dimension to it... is it gd to let feelings (heart) override rational tinkin (brain)???... or shld we let rational tinkin override feelings???... if we choose the former... we will end up as very impulsive pple... but if we choose the latter... we will easily become very inhumane pple... hmm... juz some food for tot lah... haha... :)

A glimmer of hope, A bundle of depression...

hmm... had guitar pract today... 1st time after abt 2 wks tt i had combined wif the J2s... n i must say tt i was quite pleased to c tt the J2s had improved... n today's session showed tt we can actually play the song quite well... at least the melody was more clear now... n co-ordination was definitely much better than previous times... haha... but one thing abt me is tt i deproved a lot... i realised tt... haha... but i will practice harder... n finally i c a bit of hope for clinchin the coveted Gold award at SYF... if we build up at this rate... n every1 doesn't screw up on tt day... haha... we will surely be an excellent team... :)...
rushed home to a whole pile of hmwk... n shocked to hear tt there's hmwk for GP as well... sigh... Bio S, Chem S, chem, maths, physics, bio, GP... die... smtimes i really wonder if i over-estimated myself... ba... plus church stuff... i tink im goin to become a work maniac soon... totally void of my own personal time for tinkin... goin home everyday juz to mug n mug n mug... some pple claim tt i enjoy muggin... *take note: its PPLE claim, not me...*... but the matter of fact is... i dun, ok???... the motivation is seriously lost now... n im very scared tt the ever-feared cycle will repeat for me... one yr gd results, the nxt yr rotten results... pray hard tt it wont come true... really... i wont want to put my future at stake... sigh...
i wonder if im really changin... i smtimes suspect tt my character is changin once again... tt tactfulness in me seems to hav disappeared... n frens arnd me r different... i can't tolk to some pple like i used to in the past... or mayb its becos we hav run out of topics... okok... i had better stop lamentin or else i will really turn depressed, n my mood will start to swing again... it did a few days ago... n i suddenly put on a long face... walked to maths lect on my own... daoed every1... took quite a while b4 i recovered... n i seriously dint noe wad i was angry or fumin abt... haha... weird me... :)

Updates...

sigh... its been a long time since i last blogged liao... had been real busy wif a whole lot of stuff... but i shall not moan n grumble abt this anymore... this will soon become a routine... so i tink i will juz hav to get used to it... tt's all...
well... today has not been a very gd day for me... wanted to watch DramaFeste... but the tix were all sold out... so in the end... ate dinner tgt wif xavier n erene... enjoyed it quite a lot... cos we really tolked a lot on a lot of stuff... chatted for like 1 hr plus until we felt tt we had better get goin cos we were hoggin the table n the place was gettin a bit filled... saw john there wif his band frens as well... haha...
guitar today was quite upsettin... the progress of the group was rather slow... well... cant blame them... cos afterall they hav not much prior experience... but got quite irritated by some of the juniors... sigh... dun wanna tolk abt tt liao... :( ok... guess tt will be all ba... further updates another day...

Frenship Day...

hmm... today is the day when every1 rmbs all their loved ones... since its Valentine's Day... but since i dun hav a valentine... i will be content wif rmb all my dear frens... happy Frenship Day to all!!!... as long as u consider urself as my fren... this greetin goes out to u... :)... received quite some gifts frm pple today... thx to all those who gave me... n gave out quite some as well... but not as many as some pple give or receive lah... some simply carry HUGE bags of stuff arnd... haha... n today is the revealing day for the angel & mortal game... but den... a lot of us noe who is who liao... so not much of fun... but juz a bit sad tt this game is over liao... at least for me lah... haha... my angel n mortal were nice... :)
oh... must mention how nice our dear Datuk Set was... he alredi had gifts for his angel n mortal... but still went to buy sunflowers (or wilitin sunflowers to be exact... but nvm... its the tot tt counts... ) for his angel n mortal... haha... he's damn nice lah... n there were also some who prepared stuff for everybody in class... wow... nice effort there... but of course not forgettin the Frenship Day class gift this yr which me, erene n xavier bought for the class... hope the class liked it... n i was pleasantly surprised tt erene also got smth for me n xavier... who dint receive the class gift... for the simple reason tt we paid for it... haha... real sorry tt i dint hav anythin to giv her... but really thx a lot... :)... i always liked frenship days... tho i've only had 2 so far... TCHS guys dun celebrate tt in sec sch... haha... but the mood n atmosphere when i went to sch today was so pleasant n warm... despite it being a monday... wished tt this mood will remain in sch forever... haha... =)... frens r always worth rememberin... n i've nva doubted tt... once again... happy Frenship day to all!!!

Graduate + steamboat +...

haha... so glad tt we finally finished our discipleship course after a long time span of 1 yr!!!... finally im once again free on sunday afternns... haha... but there was juz this slight tinge of sadness at us goin to miss the gd old melody... as well as the times of fun we had laughin at some of the lame things tt we did... :)... of course... to end of on a high note... we had a steamboat... haha... n we seriously bought too much food... cos we cldn't finish it... haha... den had to trouble the other pple in church to finish the food... but i guess every1 enjoyed it...
hmm... read on soon soon's blog tt he is concerned abt the fact tt some of us dint go to the bai nian stuff but went to kbox instead... well... i juz want to say tt this is not a deliberate splinterin frm the class... the kbox outin was planned some time b4 the bai nian idea came along... n seein tt the class was quite enthu abt the bai nian thing... felt tt it wld be quite meaningless to bring up the kbox idea... moreover... we cant possibly get the whole class to go... we wld hav to split a few rms... which wld be meaningless den... so i hope tt no one will misunderstand us... its really hurtin if i hear some pple say tt this is like tryin to split the class into factions... which was obviously not the intention... :)

CNY!!! Happy???

haha... wish every1 a happy CNY!!! sorry... dint really hav time to go tag on every1's tagboard to wish u all... so im compensatin here... haha... :)... hmm... some pple apparently tink tt CNY is gettin so sian now... haha... ks n i were even tolkin abt us gettin old liao... dun hav energy... i agree... CNY has nva felt this tirin... tho the routine is the same yr in n yr out... same houses we visit... same pple... same operatin procedure (enter hse... greet owners... collect ang paos... den PIG OUT wif the food!!!)... unlike some of my cousins or frens... i nva had any qualms abt eatin all kinds of CNY goodies... esp ba kua... my absolute fav... :) ... so after all... CS Ho is not really tt healthy... hehe... *gdness... i've digressed so much!!!*... but i actually felt sleepy at juz like 3 pm... which is like absolutely unheard of... but one thing we had extra for this yr was my dear little baby niece... who was very very cute... except for the fact tt she keeps "dao-in" me for wadever reason... haha... but nvm... i hope she will grow to like me!!! :)
seein a shift in my blog entries now... frm pure "philosophical" (or thoughtful rantings...) to juz pure bloggin abt events tt happened... not tt its not gd to write abt events... but i juz feel tt im startin to lose the thinkin side of me... but den... i dun really hav much to fret n moan abt... afterall... my life hasn't really been tt bad... God has been good to me... n if i hav no probs... i shld go n help others rite???... haha... ok... tt shall be my new yr resolution for this yr... CS Ho shall not encounter any probs... I shall be strong... n face all kinds of pressures as a strong person... cheers!!!
P.S: haha... juz realised tt im callin myself CS Ho... haha... well... guess i hav to accept it... its goin to be on me (literally) nxt yr... haha... :)

Mystery???

hmm... if one had noticed... 04S73 has been shrouded in this atmosphere of fear, accusations, n denial... ever since the phantom beng surfaced abt 1 mnth ago... "it" brought along wif it a lot of other funny tags... xt, cs, jas, n soon soon's tagboards hav all fallen prey... the phantom dint even spare the juniors' class blog... n every1 in 04S73 is suspectin someone else... some claim to noe the answer... but some dunt... mayb this is evolvin into a real-life mega polar bear game... n the answer might turn out to be shockin... haha... but i guess the phantom will continue to "play" wif us till it decides to surface for us to... WHACK THE PERSON!!!... but till den... the phantom beng game continues... :)

STJ!!!

haha... STJ today was a success!!! thx to all the juniors n seniors who turned up... abt 40 of us altogether... n i hope tt all of u enjoyed urselves interactin wif the juniors/seniors... as usual... i will note down some interestin stuff tt happened durin the treat... :)
1) meetin place was at Raffles Mrt station... ok... i hav to admit tt erene n i failed our maths... we actually counted the wrong no. of guys n spent so much time n effort tryin to figure out who is the "missin guy"... when actually there was none at all... oh well... mayb tambb will get us to stay back for Maths 9233 remedial iseneh??? :)
2) erm... the fillin up of the seats at the 4 tables we booked was quite interestin... there was a guys' table (made up purely of guys)... n 1 gals table (made up purely of gals)... while the other 2 had quite a gd mix... me, low n soon sat tgt wif some juniors... n the excitin time started: FOOD!!!
3) wad happens when u dun plan wad each person shld take for every1 is wad exactly happened to our table... we had like the dim sum containers piled up to 6 to 7 containers high... we literally cant c the person seatin opp. us lah... tink the waiter was seriously shocked by our "glutton-ness"... he kept patrollin our tables to ensure tt we dint waste any food... wahahahaha... n the thing was tt there were so many repeated food items... so after an encouragin "jia you" for every1... we embarked on our ardous task of finishin up wad we took... the other tables were not so "gluttony"... haha... :)
4) after only 1 round of food... every1 was like so damn full liao... tt's how they make money frm dim sum... they make u full very easily... so to while time waitin for our stomachs to empty out some space for more food... each table started their own small talk... as my table had me... haha... conversation-starter: lame jokes... notable ones r:
a) a bird took x hrs to fly frm A to B in the nite... but took 2x hrs to fly frm A to B in the day... y???
b) the tortoise joke...
c) soon kueh's straw joke... wahahahaha... tt one was quite diff to guess i must say...
d) which movie character loves to have guests goin to his hse???
haha... tt provided us wif quite some laughter... but the best is yet to come... we played the "number game"... den the loser had to eat food, of course... i dint get to eat... but jenyi was the most funny one... firstly... he guessed xiao lee's no. at the very start... n for our last round... we had high-stakes playin... the loser had to eat down the whole plate of chicken feet... which low had added soy sauce to it... n jenyi wanted to add pepper... luckily he dint... cos he lost in the end!!! wahahaha... :)
5) ended wif a high note by initiatin the "yum seng" session... my table shouted "yum cha"... the gal's table had the traditional "yum seng"... while the guys' table was most funny... they had "kum chee"!!!... wahahahaha... really appreciated the enthusiasm every1 showed... haha... :)
lookin forward to JTS... which will be quite soon, i hope... haha... den we can hav another round of crazy fun... n as i told low... "craziness runs in the veins of S73ians..."... i tink all fellow S73ians wld agree rite??? :)

its really hard to please every1... tt's wad happens when u hav pple who tink differently... by this im referrin to our STJ outin... btw... S73ians... its confirmed to be STJ... no more STS... we really shldn't change the S73 tradition juz like tt... but some pple hav come up to me n said tt they wun go if its STJ... n expectedly... its the cost issue... erm... i tried to compromise by suggestin this: we hav STS... den we get the juniors to organise another outin for us... cos i was tinkin... i can settle the cost issue for this time round... n satisfy the other pple who want another outin wif the juniors... but apparently... tt dint really sound logical... if the pple went for this round... they wont go for the other... n i simply hate to c it when the response is goin to be cold... there was no way to settle the financial issue anyway... cos u cant possibly get those who want STJ/JTS to pay for the meal of 3 pple... tt's unfair to them... lt was rite... we r really sandwiched btw so many layers... plus i read on the junior's blog tt they dun really c the meanin of havin STJ/JTS... erm... its really a bit discouragin to encounter this kind of stuff at the start of the term... im not against anyone in this entry... sigh... juz get it over n done wif ba... i wun say i dun care... cos i dun tink tt shld be the attitude tt i shld hav... :(

Absolutely Hilarious!!!

haha... finally hav the time to blog after so many days of intense work... so i hav quite some stuff to put up... :) ... today is such a wacky day... esp towards the end... ok... bio spa was still acceptable... but got damn sian durin GP cos had to do some stupid AQ... n Rudy Lee simple loves torturin us lor... gave us a lecture test which he claimed was block test standard... if block test really like tt arh... i tink i will juz hand in a blank script n let the teacher fail me lor... ok... exaggerated... but nvm... oh... but things took a big change durin chem pract... a few extremely happening things were goin on in the lab... let me list down a few...
1) the notorious guys gang were havin "Yam Seng" session usin their titration mixtures in the conical flasks...
2) Jas went arnd the lab proclaimin to the entire class tt he had gotten the correct end-pt... which quite a no. of pple were arguin over... of course... hooxy rebuked him n said he was wrong... but he apparently dint care... hahahaha...
3) part 2 of the expt was extremely funny... got into grps of 6 to do one silly titration expt usin the laptop software... n i was in charge of controllin the tap of the burette... courtesy of fy... n i had such a hard time tryin to maintain a steady flow of liquid... but the strange thing was... we were the last to start our expt proper... but den we were the 1st to complete... went over to jas's grp... cos he was very funny there... doin the time countin wif simple aerobic steps... n not forgettin a phrase tt made the entire grp roar wif laughter... "Come, follow me!!!" ... of course... rudy lee appeared highly amused, tho he kept insistin tt our class was crazy... :)
4) chem S students had 2 hrs of break... spent in the library... ok... our aim there was to mug our chem S assignment... but we ended up rehearsin a new kind of synchronized clappin... with head rotation... plus we kept niao-in hooxy... "xy, ni3 bian4 le4"... hahahahahahaha... had such great fun amusin ourselves... i tink 04S73 has MASTERED the art of self-entertainment... :)
5) had an enjoyable time durin chem S attemptin to irritate rudy lee... but i guess the whole LT is abit irritated by us... cos we were juz so noisy... plus justin had a gd time teasin Set... Set was eatin chocs... haha... n we got rudy lee to walk to us to investigate the reason y we were laughin so loudly... after failin to find out anythin... he left wif the words: "73, pls behave urselves!!!"... wahahahahaha
startin to get into the "high" mood now... mayb becos it nearin CNY ba... or its juz an aftermath of dwellin too long in an over-stressed life... to all out there... happy CNY!!! :)
