Sometimes I wish I have the guts to just be firm and steady in what I have to say to people-for the benefits of both sides. It's just so nerve-wrenching to have to go up to the person and just tell out everything that's in your mind,while trying to be as tactful as possible. Shucks,Nike's tongue-rolling slogan "Just Do It" doesn't seem to work its magic on me! :(
Many thanks to true friends today,those who had my ass covered so well,I'm at a loss of words on how to thank them. These are the people who are genuine in their care and concern for my well-being,and I truly appreciate the many ways they chip in to help. Thank you guys,I'm sure you know who you are... :)
The dark clouds that have gathered so much over the past few days are finally clearing,and I can see the light that filters through. Weak it may seem,yet I keep my hopes high and my heart pining for the day when I'm fully liberated and there's not a single dark cloud obscuring my vision...

Exhausted laa
Lessons are energy zappers,that I can certainly,doubtlessly conclude. Physical geography tutorial today was like,oh-my-goodness BORING!(no offence to Ms Fisher) There was this distant drone in my head about the depth of the river and how it becomes deeper(or is it more shallow?) when it reaches the mouth,and all the time my eyelids were like 20kg(nah,make that 100kg) bags drooping downwards,not once,not twice,but many many times! Bleah! I dislike that feeling-when you know you have to keep awake so as not to miss out anything during the all-important lessons-yet you just can't fight the temptations of, "I will close my eyes for just 10secs...really...I will....can.....zzzzz...."
Went back to Xinmin on Monday to promote VJC to my juniors. Kinda nostalgic feeling when Mr Tan's car pulled into the all-too-familiar carpark where I had spent much time playing mindless soccer during breaks,especially last year July when the World Cup season was the hottest thing everywhere. The talk itself went okay,although there were many a-times when the five of us-Jun Jin,Jian Xiang,Kenneth,Pei Qian and I really have no idea what to say,and when Mr Chan passed the ball to our court by asking,"Any comments?",all of us "chua-tio",haha. So we had to crap up something on the spot,and I had to thank my debating background for that! It was also kinda cool to catch up with all the juniors who have changed so much,and especially with the teachers. Aww,that warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia! We then took the bus back to VJC,and because of our deliberate drag of time,Kenneth and I managed to skip the horrible Chinese book test. *smiles*
Track Nationals still in the heat now,going strong,and doing very well! All the way guys! :)

Disappointing man...
Disappointing day! It started off badly with the ominous-looking grey(almost black) clouds gathering in the sky,accompanied by the distant rumble of the irritating thunder,all signaling that a heavy rain is imminent. *sighs* Of course,being the "suay" person that I am,the heavens poured out all it had,and the best training of the week had to be cancelled. Instead,we were stuck with boring cycling and eliptical machines...Bah!
In the afternoon,or rather the evening,Kenji and I went to recce Mount Pleasant cemetry,hoping it would turn out to be a spooky and suitable spot for our best and final(together with the year twos) night walk. There was a long long way in from the main road,which was overshadowed by the hanging trees,and the road was so narrow and difficult to walk on,so much so that we cannot walk side-by-side without one having to walk on the road and face the occasional oncoming cars. Still the atmosphere was pretty good-dark and quiet,except for the irregular calls from the passing birds,that sounded like cackles *grins*
After the long road,we finally turned in at Onreat Road,a rather overgrown little path with the signboard blocked by the bushes and trees that have crowded around it. In we went,and followed the road all the way. A few tombstones were all we saw,and they were all located far away from the road we were on,yet we pushed on,until the road disappointingly led us to the gates of the Police Academy. *sighs* So we then decided to walk along a path that was in the jungle surrounding us. I tell you,it's a path you never want to enter-muddy and insect pervaded. Yet so eager were we to find something that we entered. We emerged some 20 mins later,sweaty,filthy,disappointed,loss of at least 1 litre of blood and millions of mosquito and ant bites. Poor Kenji was wearing only slippers,so I with my track shoes shouldn't complain right? :p
Then we found another path ahead of Onreat Road:that was the correct entrance to the cemetry! What a waste,both of us were like,"Oh shit laaaa..." So in we went again,following the correct path this time and saw more tombstones. But overall,this was nothing much better than the first road: there were just more mosquito bites and boring tombstones. Bleah... We got out after a few pictures taken. That was all,so much for Mount Pleasant being a spooky place! I shouldn't have brought that pair of scissors then!
Ps. We hope we won't die from dengue,judging from the number of bites we both had,form the Andes mozzies with their trademark black and white stripes! Get well soon Kenji,don't go scratch those "little red spots"! :)
