what a wk!

if i could sum up my last wk's activities, i would say: 'eat, sleep, breathe and dream keppel'.
i had meetings on tue and thur night. i attended a play that's subsidised by keppel. it's called 'hitting on women', R18 rated. it's my first play and i realised that i m not an 'arty' person. while i admitted that the play was humourous, i found it hard to justify the price tag which is $15 per ticket after heavy subsidy by keppel. i prefer movie thou it's not too bad to attend such play once in a blue blue moon to try to catch up with the 'arty' side of me.
sat was preparation and set up of the vertical marathon venue at One Raffles quay from 10am to 8pm. sun was the actual event and i was there since 6am. finally, everything ended and we had a 'celebratory' brunch at brewerkz. it was a nice place and the company was gd.
i must say that it's the company that i have in the committee that keeps me going on and i can understand y all of them are scholars. they have proven their ability by having to juggle their heavy work commitment with the ksaa commitment. i guess that's the main reason why i chose to take up the appointment of director (special projects) in the next ksaa committee. i enjoy working in a vibrant committee.
i gave up the chance to run for appointments in the NTU banking n finance club as i wanted to have a different experience. i guess it's not often that an undergraduate can say that he or she holds an appointment in any outside organisation committee and i think such experience will value-add my undergraduate experience.

aside to my buddy, i would say that an important chapter of our life has passed. and up to this moment in time, it's considered the best time of our life. and i can understand that it was the best time because u had me as ur buddy. haha.

aside to kaiwei, i like the way u think abt ur future. and i strongly and seriously believe that u have what it takes to achieve all ur goals in ur life.

aside to mel, hey ger, u are flying off to US in a few days time. it has being great knowing u through the nuh volunteer activities. me n zhichao will definitely miss ur laughter. i can c that u r growing up, from girl to a matured lady. pls take gd care of urself in US and feel free to talk to me online if u have any problems k.

finally, back to my books. hate it that i have to do so much catching up work alr even thou it's only the start of 3rd wk. this sem doesn't look that promising. will b a miracle if i can maintain my gpa.

perseverance

i was watching the army show on channel 8 and i have some thoughts.
in the show, felicia chin told bryan that she will persevere in her pursuit of bryan's love and she told tay ping hui to give up her and dun persevere on in wooing her. bryan told felicia that her efforts will go to waste and not to persevere on.

life is weird. when u like a ger, u will tell the ger that u will persevere and hopefully, one day she will be touched by ur perseverance and efforts put in. at the same time, if there's a a girl that like you but you dun like her, you will tell her that it's impossible between the 2 of you, tell her not to persevere on and that her efforts will not pay off. my point is, if u can persevere in ur pursuit of some other gers, who are you to tell someone else not to persevere in the pursuit of the things she wants, even if the 'thing' could be u.

1 shot 1 kill

haha. did my ippt today at maju camp.
1 shot 1 kil!. i cleared my ippt with a silver.
and this is the first time i tried the electronic system for ippt and i think it's not bad. pretty gd investment by saf.
n there's 1 big surprise for me! i jumped 239 for my standing broad jump and this is totally unexpected. the worse thing is since i only expect ( n i will be happy) to jump 225cm, my 2.4km training is such that i aim to do 2.4km in 10:30min.
so i was abit sian to realised that i jumped 239 for standing broad jump cos i knew i would miss out on my $400 since i totally din train for it.
now that school term is starting soon, i dun think i will train to go for gold. wrong timing. perhaps next yr ba.
can't wait to get my hand on my new running shoe so that i can start my marathon training soon if my knees can take it. it's still my wish n dream n goal to finish 1 marathon.
at least it's $200 in the pocket and no RT for me! mission accomplished.
