exams~~

after 5 days of continuous exams, i am already feeling mentally drained. there is still one more paper left on saturday and i really can't wait for it to be over.
anyway during these 2 wks of studying in the central library and sheares reading room, i discovered the art of studying at these places.

Central Library
Closing timing ~
when the library closing timing is 10 pm, it means it closes at 930 pm. the staff will start to chase u out at 930 pm by playing loud music and start going around to tell u that the library is closed. so what is the point of telling us there is extension of time from 930 to 10 when pple have to stop studying at 930?
Power Plugs
if u ever want to get to use the power plug to charge ur laptop, be early. the power plugs here got occupied pretty fast. another suggestion is to bring a multi plug so that u can share the plug with others. one amusing thing that i have taken note is that sometimes when the user isn't around, the charger is still connected to the plugs but not to the laptops as the laptops are taken away. haha.. when i come across such situation, i will just take out the charger and plug in mine. i think these people are rather inconsiderate.. but what to do.. ? the power plugs are as scarce as Singapore land.

Sheares Library
Isn't it amazing that if u ever see the same person occupying the same seat for the whole week ? it is not that he has been there forever. it is just that he reserved the seat forever. by studying at sheares reading rm, i learn the art of reserving seats. just spread ur papers across the table and put a bottle there. if possible scatter a few pens across the table and the seat is urs until u clear up ur own mess. i m not someone who approves reserving seats but when everybody does the same thing, it sometimes just forces u to do so too. if u cant beat them, join them...
why can't everybody be fair and square when comes to such things? first come, first serve.. no reservation, this isn't a restaurant.
no wonder Singapore remains so kiasu after so many years.. this local culture definitely can withstand all kind of globalization factors and remain in the blood of almost every Singaporeans.

anyway, one thing to be noted is that the users do keep quiet which helps to provide a conducive environment for everyone.

night cycling

it is the sheares night cycling..
my 8th time cycling..
2nd time riding a tandem ( with me in front)
2nd time on the road..

and i had 5 accidents only..~!! that's a improvement considering the number of accidents i had the previous time. n it is 5 minor accidents.

the route was quite challenging. there were quite a few steep slopes and cycling against the traffic several times. i enjoyed the last part the most. it was cycling back to the finishing point in the ecp. everyone was speeding up. unfortunately, my gears were spolit and there was a limit to how fast my bike could travel. anyway i enjoyed the breeze blowing against ur face as bike picked up the speed. cool...


anyway... wanna thanks isa and cher.. n andy for trusting me with their lives when they allow me to take the front seat. well.. i know i didnt let u guys down when u all return back to hall in one piece. anyway, it was fun and challenging...

hope sheares can have more of these fun activities...

feeling down

morale meter reading : very low
personality right now: quiet

the mid-term exams were already over for me on wed. i should feel happy and relaxed right now. but obviously i m not~!!! i m feeling unmotivated and seemed a little trouble. trouble over what ? i m not sure as well. hmm.. maybe over school work..

i think i need to clear my mind. hope my this coming wkend will be good and sunday soccer can resume this week. i haven been out for quite some time..

=(

sometimes it is not the way u fall that hurts..
it is the way that u knock urself that hurts the most...

friday

looking forward to friday..

i know i will be tired.. but i know what i can look forward to, and that actually spurs me on.

i finally know what i want.

sunday soccer

it is finally sunday again.

even through i only slept for an hr the night b4, i seriously couldn't stop myself from going for soccer on sunday morning. i think it has become an addiction and i dont think there is any other gd reasons from stopping me to play on sunday. my passion for the game is coming back.

moreover for this wk, it was supposed to be a field match. however, once again, our plans were spolit by the rain which is the only culprit which can stop us from playing. the heavy downpour came just when we were about to kick off. in the end the match was cancelled but we consoled ourselves by moving over to NTU to play among ourselves. Despite the on and off drizzling, followed by a blazing hot sun, we still managed to play our hearts out and enjoyed the world's best game there.

i made several mistakes today and showed a lack of anticipation. maybe it was due to my fatigue level. however, I really have to admit that i am getting sick of playing as a defender. i want a chance to try out the attack. maybe this is a temporarily unhappiness from mel who wants to seek a new challenge. i know there is a shortage of defenders and excessive of attackers in the team n i have to make do with the current position. i still clenched my fist and hope that one day, i can just play up front.

for now, i m looking forward to the nx sunday soccer again.

things just get better

things happen when u least expect it.

earlier this week, i gave up hopes on getting a hostel room. i saw my application got taken off from the system and the adminstrator told me there wasn't any rooms left. so i thought perhaps i dont i have the luck at all. then on the very next day morning, i received a sms from one of the sheares people informing me that i have got a room. i could n't believe my luck. badminton helps me pull through again~! sheares.. here i come =)

another piece of gd news came in again. i received a phone call from the IT Co-op, informing me that i can collect my new lap top any time. such a timely arrival i thought... so i got 2 of my most desired things in a day... a macbook n a hostel room..

for this week only, life is just getting better. =)
