School, Fishing, Training, Stupid Driver...

Assignments~! Bane of my life~! Whatever that means~ I just dislike doing assignments... So many assignments coming up and i'm feeling the stress already~ But i'm still slacking... I need my life too~! ARRGH~ Whatever... When the time comes, it comes... And if i do not wake up by then, too bad for me then... Hiaz...

Been trying out fly fishing at the river near nee soon area... no live baits~ only lures and flys... quite fun, except we didn't have much luck at all... We'll see how it goes and will update on the catch reports (if any). Haha~!

Training has been really tiring... The effect of my 3 month disappearance from training and exercise is seeping into my body... My sprints are slow to begin, stamina is down, throws and catches are inaccurate and pretty weak, game awareness also not that good already... Need more practice, but time is running short... SUniG is just round the corner, and our team is barely ready for the competition...

Stupid DRIVERS! @#$@%!$# Its really irritating when drivers do not value other people's life like how they value theirs.. If they dun care about their life, please drive down to genting den roll down the mountain or something... But please do not endanger other people's life by not checking blindspots, signalling very late or not signalling at all, doing illegal u-turns, overtaking unneccesarily, swerving from lane to lanes and other stupid driving acts... Its really dangerous and irritating~! ARRGH~

Breathe in... Breathe out... Relax... ARRGH~!

Updates!!

First of all, sorry for the 2 weeks disappearance from blogger.com! I was extremely busy, slacking before the semester starts and followed by a not so hectic 1st week of school... No excuses for not blogging as you can see... I'm just simply being the lazy me lah~

Anyway, many things happened since i last blogged... Hmmm where to begin... Let's just start from where i left off, in order of events ba~ :)

Teaching Practice: Everything ended quite well, good comments from my CT although his written ones were quite different from his verbal comments. "Acceptable" for all areas only...

Night Cycling (01/08-02/08): We (me, nik, beka, andy) rented our bicycles at east coast park at 8pm, the one with the coin lockers. And we journeyed from east coast park, to tanah merah (expo), to tampines mall where we had our macdonald supper. We continued to changi village where we bought some fishing stuffs and that was already 6am. We decided to head back to ECP so that we can return the bikes by 9am... Cycled along changi beach and THROUGH the Osim Triathalon where we had to PUSH our bikes through the beach... Anyway, we returned our bikes at 9.30am and drove thru macdonalds for their breakfast~! Oh yeah, one important detail, we had a jack russell (phoenix) and a chihuahua (rainbow) with us all this while~!

MacRitchie Recce: To help samantha with the planning of her month-niversary, i went to the reservoir with her on 08/08 (sat) morning. We started at Venus Drive entrance and walked towards the Tree Top walk, followed by Jelutong Tower and finally a LONG walk on Rifle Range Link before entering the "Kampong Trail" towards Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. We gave up when we reached the bukit timah road area... Hahaa! The walk was tiring and the weather was hot and humid, but we had fun taking silly photos and getting chased by monkeys~ Although the couple did not do the trail in the end, the experience was still fun for me~!

Pond Fishing: My friend's company had this Night Fishing Competition at Pasir Ris Pond also on 08/08. Nik, me, beka and andy were participating in the event... We only caught 2 fishes for the full 3 hours... Very pathetic because other participants went home within minimum 3 fishes, and all above 1.5 kg... Our fishes weighed at 0.95 and 2.02kg... Can't even get consolation prize lorz... My aunt and uncle came down to support us, and brought with them some luck~! We caught those fishes after their arrival lor~ Pond fishing is a different experience from fishing at kelong or reservoirs, its fun but very expensive... Think we will do that again some day...

Night Safari: The night before my semester starts, the four of us decided to visit the night safari~ Somehow, nik's mom, sis and her bf decided to join us too~ So its 7 of us in the end... We went their mainly because of the promotion on straits time (4th aug's straits time life - hope the date is correct). Its 1 for 1 ticket not inclusive of tram rides... Quite a good deal, we saved on average, 11 bucks per person~! Since we arrived quite early (7pm) we were able to catch the first animal show and didn't have to queue that long... After that, we walked ALL the trails and ended with the tram ride... It was really fun and interesting~ Most of the animals were awake, unlike my previous experience~ :)

Schoooooool : It has been quite a hectic 2 weeks since the sem started... many assignments piling up, project meetings, readings, training etc... Quite tiring mentally and physically man... all i can say is that i'm not ready to start, but i have to~!~!

I think that is all for now ba... more updates next time... hopefully it will not be another 2 weeks before i blog again~ :P
