judo today was fun. but worried and sad about the state of raffles judo. everyone is so... lethargic and boneless.. and the standard just doesn't seem to be the same. I guess I don't have the strength and fitness to go up against a senior anyway. but the absolute lack of them (where are the sec 3 4 J1?) speaks volumes about their commitment, which is... :(
nevertheless, good to play. will definitely try to go back more, maybe can pass on some skillz, doesnt seem to be any outstanding shoulder throw players around.
Evidence yesterday was incredibly draining. felt woozy during the paper, and had to consciously oxygenate myself. sorry sam, for the panting. or something. hahahaha. but turned out pretty ok i think. i guess the knowledge did stay after all. shall not get my hopes too high, but if all goes well i may get more than a B. but really, all I want is at least a b-. anything above is a bonus. shall try to keep my C free record as clean as possible. damn LCS.
sitting in the canteen as it rains and trying to study is... nice. until it gets too warm anyway. maybe OTH in a bit. last few days of mugging, let's go!

I felt compelled to stop and comment.
boys sleeping and running around topless, does not make sense in a tribe which lives above the snow line. perhaps they are in a valley where it is warmer, but snow lies on the floor unmelted. no one will survive at temperatures like that for long without external covering. Perhaps they are being conditioned to withstand the cold, then why are the grown ups wrapped up in fur?
and the accents... HA! I can't wait to see how that changes as the people grow up.
ok back to the show.
the mammoths are so cute!
attacked by giant chickens! lol
unlike the rest, tik tik is not eaten/torn apart despite being attacked like the rest of the other people. Conveniently left there for that guy to find. Perhaps the chickens don't like mountain people.
chasing deers dropping into pits then cue snarling beasts and zoom back to 'old mother' and shaking tent. LMAO.
"DO NOT EAT ME WHEN I SET YOU FREE"
ok sorry evidently I am not in a mood for bullshit today.
White man 'chosen one' for a nation of blacks? come ON...
you'd think that a people that grew up next to a desert will know better than to attempt an crossing in the middle of the day....
hmm by roland emmerich. day after tomorrow was nice, but this was.. urgh.
he's doing 2012, would like to watch that!

not too sure if it's a good idea, but a rather long term commitment on my part (taking up tuition). Don't really like teaching tuition, but I guess the circumstances here is rather unique. plus it is located conveniently near by, and I think it is good training for the soul. Since I'm not very active in looking for opportunities to affect change and helping people, I should not turn it down when the opportunities present themselves. Won't grumble (though I'm not really). I really don't mind, plus I did volunteer. Main concern is doing a good job now!
Shoulder is getting better, but still hurts. Have not been very disciplined in taking care of it. Hopefully it will be OK by the time exam ends. May have to regulate my riding to compensate for this. Don't want any permanent injuries here.
Evidence is tomorrow, and I am stewing here. The weather is hot, and so am I. I think I have the required knowledge, but need some practice in putting it down on paper in a coherent form.
the few days after exams are packed. Hopefully the good weather holds up.

exam cometh! need to keep my will power and spirits up to tackle the last few days of exams. doing pretty well, but need to finalise my mind maps and cheat sheets for the topics. then it's just to sit and wait for the exam to come and go.
Impromptu meeting with wang bong and mich at liquid kitchen yesterday provided a welcomed respite from studying. although i admittedly did not do much of that yesterday. nevertheless, it was nice. the guiness was good too! ahhh i miss guiness. First time that i've heard, or tasted, guiness surger. cool idea, and looks and tastes great.
slowly slowly does it.
if all goes well, my guitar should be here by Friday! here's a sneak preview, I can only hope it is as chio in real life, and it sounds as good. I have every confidence that it will meet, if not surpass, my expectations.

Leonids Meteor Shower 2009
was one of the best outings I've had in a long time. Really glad for everything. the weather, the company, the food, everything!
and it's funny how everything turned out like this.
if risse hasn't been feeling unwell, and her mom didnt call her such that she went for dinner with her mom instead, then i would NOT have called shawn to buy dinner back, and I wouldn't have eaten with mich and cheryl. and we wouldn't have decided to go for this together. everything came together in such a way that could not have been planned for.
hahaha is there really some divine plan? or karma? fate? whatever you want to call it, is it the same thing?
mmmmmm.

while FML may be funny in a schadenfreude sort of way,
it's GMH that truly lifts the spirits. perhaps the human race DOES have hope after all.
why is being nice to a friend so hard to accept? for the receiver, no less.Or a stranger? I'm sure we've all been presently surprised by other people's kindness before, and I believe we should pass it on... all too often, I think we hold back our kindness for fear it'll be misconstrued, or 'you don't really know him that well', or people will think you have ulterior motives. well... so long as your own conscience is clear, does it matter what they think?
so have you given anyone hope today?
