Time to Hit the Books

I have finally decided that it is time to study. haha ive started on my math topics alr.actually im doing up my stats but im planning to begin revision on my pure maths cos i think thats like my weaker side of maths.anyway just got back from my first lesson of math tuition! haha ben's quite good i understood the hypothesis chapter quite quickly.haha actually now i have everything to do well all thats left is MY hard work =D

ive bought lots of vcds from hongkong but ive yet to watch even one! haha got some cantonese shows too.they're actually quite cool i saw abit on the plane there so i bought quite a few haha. the vcds there are like super cheap and they're real too.as in not pirated ones.its like all less than 8 bucks for one there.dvds are different though, more pricey.

yesterday and today was learning festival. the talks i had were kinda crappy cos i got all the leftover courses. so i managed to get out of two 2-hour courses by helping to facilitate bowling. Impress At First Sight was quite a good course though, the lady's talk was quite interesting haha and she gave some useful pointers for everyone. haha then i helped to facilitate bowling and i got to help out clarence's friend clarence haha! his release is like natural man.auto turn and really smooth. helping out was kinda fun especially when i demo and when they're busy i can just go take the house ball and throw =) i dont get to bowl much nowadays haha. today i facilitated bowling again and went for Relac One Corner with kenneth and casper. haha it was kinda cool too cos they turned off the lights and played video with music. so naturally everyone went to sleep for the whole talk haha!

bowling team lunch is on saturday. but i cant go! haha oh well. cos im bowling with aloy the SMU challenge. hope we can do well! haha. still waiting for the skinny one to give me the details. okay gotta go!

Hong Kong

Hong Kong was great!! haha. although mine and stanley's luck in the trip was horrible but it still turned out really fun in the end :) our luck was seriously seriously bad this trip, must have been the feng shui of the room. on the first day the two most tired people(stanley and i) arrive at our room only to find that the lock is spoilt and we cannot go in. whats worst is that the lighting in our room is kinda screwed up so not all the lights can be turned on.
we arrived 2 days earlier than the official practice and the house oiling is super super nice. my messenger worked pretty well and every game was like up and also almost perfect with 279 on one of the games. really high scoring. however when the official practice came the oiling changed and i couldnt really adapt to it. as in i could bowl okay but not really score high. anyway bowling the tournament was quite a good experience and congrats to mike and bernice.
day 3 was opening ceremoney and it was quite cool.i got to lead the team in haha! so continuing with my bad luck, next few days following the first was kinda tiring everyday. the worst was wednesday when i was bowling different squads from the rest it was really boring. tuesday was singles and not all of us bowled up to standard. greglorious gan as we call him now was really sad and some of us cheered him up which was really funny.spent the whole night laughing but also backache cos i kenna taopok by him 6 times! the bowling part dint go that well but u guys seriously made the trip damn fun.on day 7 after quartet final event, all of the guys except mike kinda relaxed already cos we dint make masters. so me and stanley decided to drink abit.and then the other guys came in and one of them got drunk! it was super super funny and all of us really enjoyed it.
day 8 we went to this place called citygate where i got her something after shopping for like super long:) bought some other stuff there as well.the best part was there, me and stanley got left behind! suddenly after awhile we noticed that we dint bump into anyone in the shopping centre anymore.so we walked around the WHOLE shopping centre for like 2 rounds looking for people. in the end justin called i think and apparently everyone had left already.they freaking forgot about us! okay so we decided to go meet them and took the mrt.buying tickets was sucky also. we had no coins and the machine which accepted notes wasnt working.so we walked 3 shops to change coins and when we came back, lo and behold the stupid note machine was working.so anyway ann told us to pay concessionary so we did and headed for mongkok to meet some of them. however we reached some interchange where we had to walk like a mile to the other side to change and we were so freaking tired by that time we decided to go back to hotel. on the way we stopped at causeway bay to buy donuts and god we were scolded damn badly by the mrt person for concessionary and wrong stop.luckily we only had to pay extra.so after that we got back to hotel i dont think we did much that night anymore compared to the other nights. oh pauls aboslut got confiscated cos i left it on the table and the teacher walked in before meeting ahaha.
on the final night was opening ceremoney but not the whole team was there cos some of them had to fly back alr. was really tired out that night already cos the previous nights hardly slept much since i dint have to bowl already. dinner was quite fun with all the other countries performing. we finally decided to perform but ran out of time alr haha! had some fun meeting people from the other countries. after that headed back up where me stanley and the small michael were in my room just doing something really stupid.we were playing a game where we would open a card each and the largest one would flick the forehead of the smallest card. its seriously quite pain i had a swell next morning. so we were playing and then more people came.some more hk ppl came and ice also. then huifen ann and greglorious also came and also the teachers! they played too and it was really a sadistic game man. but as usual me and stanley were the suay ones. playing with 10 people i could get the smallest card for like 4 to 5 times straight. just keep kena-ing the whole night man and my bruise on my forehead was super pain haha but it was really damn fun. next day flew back to singapore where grandad picked me up cos mom and dad were still in hongkong taking a later flight.lots more to write but i really dont feel like trying to remember alr haha it was a week ago. really really a nice trip though :).

well enough about hongkong the week after i got back i was flooded with everything i missed and kinda trying to catch up now. but i still feel really relaxed from after hong kong hahaha better start working though. learning festival is on wednesday.i gotta attend some poetry course cos i was the last few to sign up since i wasnt around when everyone was signing up. hopefully the j1s can help me out and get me out of my courses.i dont mind helping out in the bowling clinic actually haha. i met with her in town on friday.finally asked her :) really happy now haha.interclub other day was kinda screwey haha.won 3-2 though. but really disappointed with the way i bowled. i bowl 254 252 then i bowled a 13! i was like omfg wtf am i doing haha but nvm its only interclub.my new ball still rocks though haha.i finally got a maths tuition teacher, i think bens gonna take me cos i replace yl as he goes on to join ppl with a higher standard haha. but i think i really need help now if i want to get something good out of my A's. alright time to go do homework! haha.

Drawing Nearer

both exams ending and asian schools starting drawing nearer. i just realised i have to slow down on bowling like mega alot after the hk trip. anyway just came back from tuition. maths paper 2 is tmr. i completely dint have an idea of stats at all but after ben's tuition at least i wont get 0 haha. hes gonna take me as a student after hk which is a good thing cos i need to concentrate on my studies as well.

today was the team bonding thing for combine schools. madam organised some small games at first which was quite okay to get things started. haha and im rooming with stanley in hk so might share a tote with him. after that went down to the park to play hui erh and my games. well it was more of hui erh cos she suggested everything lol. anyway played whacko where everyone came up with a characteristic of themselves. quite fun actually haha. then after that was captain's ball.only thing we dint use a ball haha. we used PAO! hahahaha and it got pretty messy once the pao split. we also used fish balls with alot of ketchup. u can imagine when it burst hahahaha. pity the hungry ppl in the world though lol. anyway after that was the smile if u love me game cos its like every year they play that. think today was not bad, hope everyone had fun.

3 more papers till the end of exams! woohoo! it kinda sucks though cos everyone's papers are like over. clara and gerald finish and nick doesnt even have bt now. pity stanley though he has paper like me tmr but has one more on friday. thats like just before we leave lol. ive totally given up on maths though. donnno why i went for the stats tuition today. cos like my paper 1 i dint even get like close to passing. so if i get full marks for stats(which will be like the miracle of miracles haha) then i can get a S grade! hahahhaa cool man.

gotta sleep now.maths tmr.hope got eq man
