Happily tired

Just came home from supper/dinner with bm at fong seng~

好 饱 啊 !

She had table tennis training and I had IFG match. Today was Engin vs Law~ The substitutes a.k.a yours sincerely included got to play first.

By the time we came out the score was like 42-5.

Then the main players went on and I rested for like 10 minutes before going into the game again. Today got to play alot! So got more chance to perform also hur hur.

Think I played pretty okay today.

After I went in I never came out again till the end of the match.

After the third quarter damn funny. The score was like 70-12 and I thought the match was over. Took off my bip and went to talk to YZ who was playing for USP against SOC. Talk abit liao came back then I realized still got 4th quarter!

After the “engin whoosh!” I faster went to find back my bip and hurriedly tried to put it on and wore it wrongly; like, the head in the arm hole etc. DAMN MALU. While I was busy forcing myself into the bip the Law people suddenly were like ‘eh? how come engin left 4 people’ then they saw one idiot by the sidelines trying to force himself into the bip.

Referee blew whistle and everyone was there waiting for me to wear back ahahahah.

So I was like ‘paiseh paiseh!’ and the match resumed. The Law people also damn frenly, they were laughing and saying engin should play them with four people.

Engin played damn well today lah, everything very shun, made most of our shots.

Eh not trying to be mean or anything but I one person scored more than whole of Law combined ahahaha. I scored 17. 2 blocks. Dunno how many rebounds. A few assists. Got 1 fast break also, you know, that kind where you steal the ball and one person chiong to the basket yourself?

Aiyah budden I guess 17 out of engin’s 90 points not much in comparison haha.

Well after the match got this guy wearing sin chi jersey came to talk to me.. By the way sin chi is a pretty good bball club in singapore, if I’m not wrong. He was like asking me I year what. So I was like ‘year 1′. Think I’m the only year 1 there.

Then he ask me got cca anot. I say ‘ya, IES, NUS Investment Club, CAC log assistant, bball sub club.’

(I got so many?! If can still pass tests like this is genius liao.)

He was like, ‘aiyah what sub club!’

Here comes the earth-shattering part.

He said,’ Come for IVP training this Thursday ba.’

I nearly fainted on the spot.

If you didn’t know, I did consider trying for IVP. (Again, IVP basically means representing NUS) I told myself if I played for IVP it’d be my only CCA.

After some time I gave up the thought cos I think it’s really too tough to get into IVP, so I went ahead and joined a few other CCAs.

Have stopped thinking about IVP for some time now, and left it at the back of my mind as the dream that will never be and went to join bball sub club.

And now this person standing in front of me is asking me to join the team.

I dunno if you can imagine how I felt~

QB house

Went to have a haircut at plaza cos I was beginning to look like a lion.

The girl who cut my hair quite cute! Name’s Samantha.

But she made me feel damn awkward. She asked me how I want to cut. Then I very cooly said’ cut short and thin can liao’ like I always do when I go for haircuts.

She gave me a very quizzical look and laughed then was like “er..huh? what u mean?” She proceeded on to ask me the details of how I want it done and I shall not bother to write it down cos some of it I don’t even know what she was talking about.

I was just like “okok”.

Halfway through I said “err I want my sideburns, and the front dun cut too short”. Then she kena stunned again.

She said “see ah, if I cut here, then there cannot dun cut, will look very weird” and she proceeded to point here point there point everywhere until I confused.

I think she first time kena such a cool customer who gives cool instructions.

Maybe I also first time kena such a meticulous hairdresser; the rest all I anyhow say they will anyhow cut, this one like so scared cut until I not happy.

So cute.

After Action Review

It’s official.

I flunked all my three tests. Well done. Well I expected it and I DESERVED to flunk since I put in so little effort into my studies.

Conclusion: Studies in NUS are fuggin xiong and you can’t do so many things at once and expect to do well!

Review of what I have been doing generally for this half a sem: Bball sub-club, bball Inter Faculty Games, trading, reading stuff not associated with studies, watching TV, attending investment seminars,CAC, beach vball about fortnightly. Well I guess some of this stuff don’t really take up much time but maybe putting them down will make me feel better hahah.

And NO this is not an excuse to do badly in exams. I WILL work hard!

Engin wHoosH

Just came back from Making Sense of Society. Gonna flunk again? I left 15 minutes before the end if the test cos I figured even if I stayed longer I won’t be able to write anything else and I’d rather go home to sleep.

I had 2 out of 12 for math MCQ test! Oh my god, the only 2 I got correct were sums I actually did, so I didn’t get a single tikam. Murphy hates me.

Engin was against Medicine yesterday. Med had so many supporters, female somemore. Everytime they scored or did something somewhat spectacular the girls will scream in delight. Made us feel like bad guys.

I was a ‘care leh fei’ lah, engin didn’t even need me hahah, the starting 5 were good enough. I was only on court like 15 minutes out of the 40. What to do, I’m too lousy. But managed to sneak in 2 rebounds, a block and 3 points.

Oh ya, first match in my new shoes wahah.

Don’t really remember the score but I think it was something like 32 to 15? Dunno lah.

Anyway now that the mid-term test is over I must fulfil my promise that I must work harder! No more goofing around! Okay, I mean, no more goofing around alot!

massacre

If the math test weren’t in MCQ format I’d probably score like 4 out of 12. But it is so if murphy doesn’t decide to play a prank on me again I’d pass?

And I decided not to play against SDE today cos I knew deep inside it was a very irrational decision and I decided to be rational today. Going for a test right after a match is never good for your results. Went to watch with bm though, and left at like the second quarter. We won in the end.

I’m planning to go and buy the pair of shoes tomorrow.

Irrational decision again, but I don’t care.

inside the red box

Finished classes at 12 and had lunch with dbm.

Now I’m in Central Library again.

I have math test at 7.30pm! As usual, I’m ill-prepared, and what in the world are you seeing a new entry when the writer says that he’s ill-prepared for a test?!

Well I guess it’s cos it’s me.

And before the test, at like 6.30 pm I have bball match. Inter Faculty Games. We’re playing against school of design. Dunno if I should go man. So unstudious.

After today there’ll be one more test on Thurs. Making Sense of Society. I can’t make any sense out of it, how ironic.

After the test I’ll be going to the library to collect a book I reserved!

Been wanting to read that for a long time liao.

Haha nerdy lorlilorsor.

Re: Engineers and Lawyers.

Eh, you all get the joke anot ah?

I think it’s abit subtle, so for the sake of making the joke complete, I’m gonna EXPLAIN the meaning.

Argh I’m so bad at telling jokes.

The moral of the story is: Lawyers go to hell!

Okay like I said, it’s just a joke.

Bad day!

Haha I think I’ve been through so much shit in my life that an apparent bad day suddenly doesn’t feel that bad afterall. I’m numb already!

Statics test was horrible. I see blood all over. When it was over me and demure just looked at each other and smiled. I said “haha, 100% guarantee plus chop, confirm bao fail one.” She was more straight to the point: “fuck lah.”

Haven’t been dabbling in soccer betting for a long time. Thought I might just try my hand today cos if I win I might feel happy again!

Okay don’t think you’re some smart aleck just by managing to guess that I lost. I mentioned today was a bad day!

So yeah, I lost like 100 bucks. Shall not touch gambling for some time I guess.

Sometimes I feel like a juvenile delinquent (though I’m not exactly a juvenile anymore).

Engineers and Lawyers

It is said that the word ‘engineers’ comes from the word ‘ingenius’. So word has it that when engineers die, they all go to heaven, for all the ingenius ideas they have made to better humankind.

One day, an engineer passes away. However, due to some mistake at the admin office, he is sent to hell instead.

When God realizes the mistake, he is horrified and calls Satan downstairs.

God: Hello old friend, how ya doin?

Satan: Doin good man, how about you?

God: Yeah I’m fine. Actually I called regarding the engineer I accidentally sent down a few days ago. How’s he doing?

Satan: Oh him, yes we all like him alot. Since he’s here he’s installed air-cons for us so this place is not so hot anymore. He also installed lifts so we could travel more easily. Yeah he’s cool.

God: (Abit pissed) Oh really. Actually I called to request him back. Can you send him back to me?

Satan: Aww come on, you have so many engineers up there, can’t you just leave one for me?

God: This is a matter of principles.

Satan: So whatcha gonna do if I don’t oblige?

God: (Very pissed) YOU SHALL FEEL GOD’S WRATH.

Satan: Screw you.

God: (Furious) I’M GONNA SUE THE PANTS OFF YOU.

Satan: Oh really?

God: YES.

Satan: (Smirks) And where are you gonna get a lawyer?

Mid Term break has passed in a flash

And tomorrow I’ll be having Physics mid term test.

15 MCQs.

I heard the average score is between 4-6. I wonder what’s the objective of tests of super high difficulty. To demoralize us?

I’m so looking forward to the break at the end of the semester!

I don’t hate studying, but breaks are always a perk.

Well I hope I score better the ‘average score’ tomorrow.

Sometimes I wish I could be a mugger and have the patience to mug non-stop.

Cos I always drift off to play and end up not finishing my work alamak.
