We want to win

Just saw the draw for the River Regatta
Our opponents for the heats are not easy
Its gonna be tough

Past few trainings were not bad though.
We managed to clocked pretty decent timings
Mr Hee said that we stand a good chance to win if we row like that.
I really hope its true.

All the heats will be on Saturday, 3 Nov.
Semis and Finals will be on Sunday, 4 Nov.

My team's goal?
To row another day
I know we stand a chance
Consistency and composure is what we need

I'm hungry for glory.

Tmr's training will be crucial.
We need the confidence.

Jiayou NYDB!!

For those who are looking for something to do during the weekends.
Come on down to the Singapore River and catch some dragonboat races.!
It'll last the whole day.

Most improved student award :)

We received our promos results slip today
Before that, there was a principal's talk in the hall.
In his usual poor english, He went through our results and told us what we should expect and do next
and gave out the 20 honour roll awards and 15 most improved student awards

And yes!
I'm one of the 15 awarded for most improved student!
Oh man, it was totally unexpected!
It was also great to see 2 other dragonboaters receiving the award
YAY!

Got back my results slip and fortunately, I'm allowed to continue doing 4 H2.
Anyway, I'm intending to downgrade either H2 Bio or Econs.
Spoke to Mrs Boo and she advised me that since I cannot decide on which one to drop, I should continue doing 4 H2 and see how it goes next year.
Good idea

Btw, Masters on last Sunday was terrible.
Our timings improved tremendously....... due to the water condition.
But looking at the results, It was bad.
There are many reasons that I can think of to explain our performance
but fuck it.
I know my team is capable of better results.
Forget about it.
River Regatta is next.

Starting this week, we'll be training everyday.
Jia you!

Bad news
I'm addicted to DOTA
DOTA is currently the IN thing in my dragonboat team
LOL

0716 Chalet

Went to my class chalet yesterday night.
didn't stay over though

BBQ food is unhealthy so I met up with the other dragonboaters first to have dinner at White Sands food court.
But I still ate some BBQ food at the chalet

Anyway, chalet was great fun!
I had a good time camwhoring :)
Played cards, cycled and ate cake

0716!!
I love this picture
Zhenghui tried to act tall by standing on the chair
And i managed to jump from behind :)

(Pictures taken from Pearlyn's blog..)

Damn it, woke up this morning and have flu liao.

Promos results!

I got back all of my promotional examinations results on Friday.
We were kept in the hall and the different subject departments took turns to give out the papers
one after the other.

And overall...
I'm really happy with my promos results.

General Paper - C
H2 Maths - A
H2 Economics - C
H2 Chemistry - B
H2 Biology - S
H1 Chinese - E

Promos make up 60%,
mid-yrs 15%
CA 25%

I just hope that my mid-yr results of C,D,E,S,U,U doesn't affect my promos results too much.

Bio really sucked
Only one class passed on average.
Biology is not worth it.
Its a subject which everyone puts in ALOT of time and effort to study and gets crappy results.
It suck.

I'm really happy for my Maths and Chem.

Anyway, it just feels good that all your effort in the last several weeks before promos has not gone wasted.

Welcome to J2 :)

BYE ARNOLD

Finally, Arnold is gone
The weakest and the least committed guy is finally gone.
He is the worst guy I've ever met.
Trust me.

He talks like the team owe him
But he doesn't even know that the TEAM wanted him out for many months already
Our first attempt to kick him out failed.

Mr Lee gave him a chance and when we asked him why didn't he turn up for evaluation
His answer :"I'm not ready"
What the fuck.

And now, when we finally got the green light to kick him out.
He says he wanted to quit.
HELLO?!
If you wanted to quit, you should have returned us your BaiLong to us 1000 years ago.
You're not making sense, you fucktard.

And he could say things like
"time for you to eat my shit"
Then I think its also time for my team of 24 guys and 19 girls to shove their shit right into your bloody mouth.

you're the most BHB guy I've ever seen and will ever see.

you said we didn't give you respect?
and you talk like we need to respect you first before you respect us.
True
But let me tell you the inverse you retard.
You got to respect the team first before expecting to be respected
you idiot.
what are you?
Carrier of 3 chromosome 21?
I bet you have got Klinefelter's syndrome

You are 100 times weaker than my grandpa
and my grandpa is already dead.

you're so horrible and irritating that you can easily piss a guy off
and the guy is actually dumb, blind and deaf

Come and eat 43 people's shit

My first Dota experience :)

Went to play lan on Saturday after training
11 of us started with playing counter-strike before Elvis got really bored and persuaded everyone to play Dota
I was relunctant but I agreed
I was the noobest noob
but Elvis was really patient with me
He bought all the stuff for me and taught me

And man!
I loved it.
5 vs 5 was really fun
I was playing humji throughout, I stayed behind my team mates
and ran like hell when I see any enemy heroes.

I wanna play again
but I don't think I'm addicted - yet

Today and tomorrow are supposed to be marking days
but NYJC's idea of marking days are actually "Independent learning days"
We had to go to school today for career seminar shit
and we were expected/encouraged to do up our PW during these days.

Project Work is a pain in the arse.
I really do not, never will and don't want to see the purpose of it.

Btw, NYJC Open House on 12 October 2007!!!
2-5 pm
Please come!
Especially secondary 4 students!!!

Oh well, I doubt any sec 4 students actually come to my blog :(
Anyway, NYJC is an excellent junior college!!!

Promos over

Yay!
promotional exams are over!

but I'm still left with Project work and A'level Chinese.
Both are a waste of time.

Project Work is the second dumbest thing I've done, after SPA.

Right now, I wanna just stroll along the streets in town, slack, chill and shop.
It've been a long time since I did that.

My dad is urging me to go to the dentist.
My last visit to the dentist was more than a year ago...
I feel like it but I'm fucking scared.
going to the dentist is TOP of my fear list.

The blog is alive!

Yes!
My blog is alive!

Promos is somewhat over...
I'm left with Chem and Bio paper 1 on wednesday and thursday.
Bio paper 2 yesterday suck.

Overall, I can't say I'm confident to promote.
I did my best... (I think)
I really hope I'll be promoted.

Oh well, we will get all our papers back on next Friday morning.
NYJC open house in the following afternoon.
My friends and I were crapping and we thought of a possible scenerio on Friday
Since we'll roughly know whether we get promoted or retained on Friday.
then druing the open house, all those who most probably will get retained will form up at all the entrances to the college and discourage all from coming to JC.
LOL

When I was in secondary school
when my sister told me that one of her close friend retained
I was like "HUH?! Wah so BAD ah?"
And now, I've realised, it's not difficult to retain
not a big deal.

Next thing to worry after promos is not PW nor Chinese.
Its dragonboat!
We've got Masters in 3 weeks time and Regatta in 5 weeks time
Very little time to get our physical and rowing fitness back.
But it's possible
Jia you!

I took a huge step to regain my running fitness
ran to yishun mrt and back yesterday evening.
BAD choice.
My legs are damn nua now.
Stupid,
didn't I in 17 years,
going on 18:)
heard of progressive training?!

They same I'm D³
