today’s practice was one of the best i ever had.

though we might be tired of doing the same thing, i guess today’s one was different. perhaps, to some not in the physical sense, but the emotional portion as well. what wei lao shi has said, what randy has said, haha, and not to mention our unusual practice in the dark. though we might be bu qi in some parts, but i was emotionally overwhelmed at the guang ban. playing our hearts out, i can really feel the passion and endearment. not to mention, the cheers.

it’s these little things that keeps us on. and is something i would never exchange it for. (:

seven more days.

latas

most would agree that the past week has been emotionally and physically sapping, and i do have to agree. i know most have ended their process by this week, but i guess the journey for me is gonna get tougher and tougher.

co practice mostly everyday, but somehow, i’m not that sian of it. <3 morning practs, it’s just so nice to start a day with it. i guess from what i saw and experienced has truly impressed on me that i wont give up co. it’s just the passion and warmth you get being in an orchestra, something a sprinter or a chess player might not be able to understand. we work as one, we lose as one, we win as one, we play as one. everything needs to be pieced together well. its not something that can be easily forgone.

i guess the bonds bridged throughout the process has been great.

innovate today was fine, even though we didnt manage to clinch anything, i believe the main takeaway was working with wz and bryan. sometimes im just so numb to results. perhaps it might be due to the fact that we have never always been in the top most of the time, so not getting it doesnt affect much, but im happy that we had grown as one and also had fun together, fighting fans and staying late into the night.

play music, not the instrument.

next week is another crunch week. dont fumble poh, you can do it.

latas

where i was from. what i set out to do.

and hcico has redeemed her status again. and im glad. seeing the practices, albeit sometimes nerve-wrecking, but im glad they pulled it off. great job.

and now, hcco, it’s our turn. it’s thirteen more days. thirteen more times of effort, and we are gonna make the whole bukit timah co’s rule!

latas

judgementalism. how i really hate it. but i guess it’s just the lack of time.

fourteen days.

to make it ours.

and i would never do anything that’s against what i truly love and like.

go hcco.

latas

i love uncle pe teacher (: thanks!

2.4km yesterday. haha, had stomachache before that, but i think i manage to pass, not sure about timing though, cos i completely dao-ed my surroundings after the last sprint. sometimes, i just dont like to run with baggage, like you have to pass, not good for the body and mind.

back from fruitfulness, and now it’s all back to work and stuff.

there’s lotsa stuff to do, to clear, to work for. i hope i can pull everything off nicely.

latas

life’s been a pretty bitch.

and i can’t help feeling low amidst the great highness, it’s perhaps a totally new situation that i have to re-adapt with grace, poise and verve. i miss the past, for i cant help not to tear over losses.

LIFE is like a rollercoaster. up down up down, loop around, and im quite sick of this ride.

latas

but i hope everything’s just worth the pain & fight. give me strength. 疾风知劲草，路遥知马力。

haha. yesterday was hmm eventful.

usual co, and a dessert outing at kap after that (: haha mcflurry alert!

after which was c’s birthday party. okay, the fun part is like going there itself. so mel and i were trying to find her house, and we actually walked down the correct road, but we had to just ask some stupid security guard who said that there were no house with that no. down the road, but at some place across botanic gardens. haha, so we thought he was right and cut through botanic gardens. at night, which is so freaking dark and haha, reminds us of amazing race. you know arm with a photo of the botanic gardens map in the handphone. and we walk through like some seriously dark spots -.- but talking was fun i guess.

so we spent 30mins traversing from the cluny side of botanics to the orchard side. its ACROSS the stupid garden. and as we walked down the road, trying to look for a house with the no. and there was one! but it seemed pretty quiet. so were like OMGGGBBQ. haha, and we called them again trying to find out whether it was that house. and it was NOT. puh lease. so we had to walk down and traverse across botanic gardens again. we entered from tyserall and walked up again. lol and we reached to some fork in the road. but our gut intuitions were right and we were correct. and we finally reached her house after 1h. talk about fashionably late please.

but it was kinda fun i guess, cos botanic gardens and bukit timah is seriously a no man land at night. haha. although we sweated like pigs after that. but i guess her house and party was kinda good to haha, compensate us. (: esp. the glasshouse. omg.

left around 1130pm and we went to confront the cuckoo security guard who led us into the wrong direction >:( haha, you know her house is like a 5 min walk down the road we actually initially took! but i think mel gave him a piece of her mind, ahh, but never mind.

lol.

time for work.

latas

council elections over.

hope everyone’s fine and alright. and i was down with stupid fever yesterday, so did nothing much in the end. ): haha, im busy in my own ways, though not for more conventional reasons. ahh, its only 4 weeks to syf. and there’s innovate and many more stuff to clear. sometimes i dont know i made a good decision by not choosing that. i seriously dont know.

love co. i like the people, and really the atmosphere. haha, now a14’s gonna be empty.

latas

np. no regrets.

yesterday was super packed, yet fun and tiring.

started with innovate, and sometimes i think people lack a certain sense of self-awareness de to a high level of self-confidence? that they result in actually disgracing themselves? but i love my teammates. jiayou, and we had great fun talking to each other while discussing specific details at burgerking (:

then went to honglim with wz. yay! a successful ending to our batch of slc members, passing on the baton to the next batch. and i quite agree with dp’s talk, how we dont even know what’s happening in the community sometimes. perhaps, my interest for grassroots has augmented into a different level. paying more attention to my neighbourhood etc. love slc! it had been a great year of wonderful opportunities and i loved it and the people.

had to miss co for the above reasons ):

then it was w.a.h. yay! sandy was voted fac princess! we had some peranakan theme! there was bbq and movie screening as well, but i guessed the four of us skipped most of it and talked/danced/acted like mad at the terraces. the breeze and convos were definitely a morale-raiser. and when we went back, it was almost the end.

ahh. im tired, but i still have a bunch of work to do.

latas

maybe it’s still not the moment yet. as i had found out.

working at the car wash! haha, went to wash cars after school for charity today, quite fun, esp splashing water and scrubbing teachers’ cars clean (:

lala. hmm have not been updating much cos i felt quite tired over past few days, incl. today. everyone’s like busy with council and such. haha, makes me feel super slacked. but actually im not, cos there’s syf (5 more weeks ._.) and other stuff. rarr.

sometimes, i just cant control.
