Life's Like That

Yeah... Life's Just Like That.. the monotony of life is sometimes unbearable... Its school, work, pdp, work, and the cycle goes on. And in school we have to learn things like the Kreb Cycle, Calvin Cycle, not to mention Economic cycle (Circular Flow of Income) and trends...

Everything seems to be going in cycles or circles...

Nothings fair so far. Things aren't going right for the time being.. I really wonder if days are becoming shorter than the length of an ant. Its back from school and then a few hours and its 12am. Morning signals lack of sleep. 4-5 hours is hardly what is optimum recommended my professional psychiatrists and sleep analysts. I think if going by those sleep studies, I would have destroyed who knows how many brain cells already....

Running toward road run

My legs are aching like crazy again.... Ran 3.6km on Monday, Tuesday about 2.4km, Wednesday Bowling Training (footwork again), Thursday (today) 3.6km again... Tomorrow, well.. Bowling Training again...

3.6km is actually not that bad... other than the fact that it was an uphill run for a section.. took 22 minutes and 16 seconds today... Thats slow... I admit I walked abit, but that time still slow.. must improve although my legs were aching today even before I ran... the area behind my ankle is just screaming pain.

According to Mr Goh (a.k.a The person who calls us "army boy"...), he said that I was putting too much strain on the back of leg as its too tense when I run.... no wonder its driving me up the wall with the pain.

The 'O's and 'A's

'O' Level results according to Natalie, would be out next week... Anyway, good luck to all who are receiving their results.

(N.B: hey Nat.. You will do alright.. don't worry... =)

O.o... The post haven't end yet.. although "N.B." should come last in a letter.. but this is a blog... haha...

However, following that would be the 'A's and that'll be my turn and my classmates and the JC2s to start sweating in worry... Chinese and Project Work Results... Oh no... Hope there will be good news...

Just a quote

Guess like the quote of the week announced by Mr Liu (hey.. I pay attention during assembly you know...):

"The pessimist sees challenges in every opportunity, but the optimist sees opportunities in every challenge."

Broken as it is...

Its been a week since I last blogged... Everything is going past very fast... A blink of an eye an its gone... Busy with almost everything. Schools not making anything easier. 8 hours of sleep? Thats history...

Broken as it is

Come to the topic. Nothing was actually broken.. Perhaps mentally but not physically...

I guess 2 main events. Caused my heart to break like a thin glass.... One happened a while ago (Event Number 2), and that I need sometime to organize before could write about it...

Lets start with Event Number 1...

Event Number 1 (only a small crack): Ok.. for the boring one... bowling today was a bit of a heart break. Videos and friends say otherwise, but to the coach it still seems wrong... time delay? Friends say yes, videos say yes, but coach say no.

Just what am I going to do???

Now for Event Number 2 (its broken entirely): Well... its already some time... but this was a big heartbreak.. Ok.. not that big.. but at least it was a closure... Or so I thought..

Still got lapses of aching-ness.. But at least I can sleep at night now... I really shouldn't dwell on it... but sometimes just can't help myself... at least everything went back ok... Certain degree of changes definitely.. my HP also went darn silent.. it became so eerie....

I really need to refocus...

Ham and strings

Ham and Strings

This post is all about eating Ham and making strings...
Nope.. I wish...But its not.. not about ham and strings but a word that is formed by those two..... thats right.. hamstring..
1.6km PLUS 2.3km PLUS 3km PLUS training (2 hours) AND more training (2 hours) EQUALS to serious muscle ache....
Ok.ok... its probably due to the lack of exercise previously.... I accidentally hurt my hamstring... this is made worse by the fact that a right-handed bowler needs to use my left leg the most... OUCH!!

Oh well... hope it gets well this weekend.. before physical education again on Monday.. If its still bad, maybe I should pay a visit to the physiotherapy clinic which is open in school every Tuesday...

Training

Two new additions to the team today.. more is expected to come next week... YX looked so down today...Blisters on foot etc... Guess we will find an increase in the number of cases as PE these few weeks will be running about 3km each time... Hope she is feeling better..

Forecast

Next week will be quite a horrible week.. I'm not looking forward to the Chemistry lecture test results. Though I'm quite ok with Economics....

Looks like our class is going to be some "sample" at a survey again... This time is for some Maths thing.. unclear its purpose though. We're suppose to go there and do some test which we don't even know is on what topic. I guess it'll be a general test similar to those Australian Maths Competition papers ...

Oh well....

its finally up!!

yeah!! the new layout for the TJC bowling blog is launched..
After four days of work, re-coding the entire site and doing up all the graphics, I am glad to say it has finally gone online.

Four days doing this means four days of opportunity costs lost as well as externality incurred, factoring electricity bills.

But anyway, at least it turned out nice ( http://tjcstrikeforce.blogspot.com ).

So many post-mortems for the subjects. Tomorrow there will be another one for Economics, stretching my school hours till 6.30pm.

Its gonna be one long day tomorrow...

TJC PvP and Bowling Team Blog

The first Temasek Junior College Past Vs Present Bowling "Championship" is over. Congratulations to all winners.

An update can be found on the new TJC Bowling Team Blog.

Haven't been doing much for this blog layout... A few layouts have been put on hold. And various not launched... Currently designing a new layout for the TJC Bowling Blog which can be found at http://tjcstrikeforce.blogspot.com
Since no one gave me any concepts, design brief or even graphics, I am now "banging my head against the wall" thinking of what to do, and how to do it.

Anyway, tomorrow still got school... have to finish my carboxylic acid tutorial.

The end of the tournament Season

It has finally ended.. The 'A' Division Tenpin bowling Championships. After 18 games, looks like I have to be contented with a 37th placing out of 149 -- a remarkable feat, considering I only had about 5-6weeks of training.
Made a 37 placing improvement too. I was ranked 74th (very embrassingly) on the first day. haha... That meant a prgression from the second page to the first page of the results. Lol.

Sadly. TJC got 5th position overall, losing our seeded title. Looks like next year I wouldn't see much of my secondary school friends during the Nationals. Their JCs made it to the seeded squad. Oh well.. its just too bad.

Master's event today. Rodney and Glenda qualified. However, both landed up in the 4th position with a pinfall of 1740 + 50 and 1661 + 45 over 9 games respectively, losing to the 3rd position by a mere 21 pins each. It's really a pity. Both were displaced at the last minute, with a spectacular showing in the last game by a few others. I twas a Nerve-wrecking moment for many people, especially the coaches.

And with that, marks the end of the 2006 National Schools Bowling Tournament.

My National Youth Forum (NYF) interview has also passed. I doubt I will make it. Had to face an interview with a panel of 10 people (or more.. I not sure). My brain literally stopped functioning. didn't expect so many people. Though it would be a panel of 2-3people only. I didn't even know what I was saying. Sighz... Really no confidence over this one.

Anyway, tomorrow going out to celebrate Glenda's B'day. Don't know why they chose the airport as the venue. Lolx.

Lots of Matters

The National Schools competition is now ongoing.. tomorrow is doubles. Like Qwhee said.. "No targets".. There will not be any targets set. We will just go there, have fun and be give our best.

Next week is abit worrying. It will be the last week of school before the June Holidays. However, I will be missing school everyday except Tuesday due to competition. That adds up to alot of lessons lost. Thankfully the last few days will be the sports carnival.

Trying to psych (psyche) myself out of all worries. Wednesday I will also have an interview with the NYF panel. Don't know how what will be the outcome.

NO TARGETS!!! =)
