Day 23

Wow, it has been abt 1/2 a mth since i last blogged. Been so steeped in hw for the last 2 weeks....so much so that I think i suffered fr minor depression the wk before. But this week's fine, I pulled myself together thanks to the encouragement of some friends :D and also some a few gd test results did help too. Oh but my headache is far from over yet, the transport project especially is still unfinished.

However, i feel that it's only right that i blog today and take count of a few minor success this wk. ("Downplay unhappiness, focus on positiveness!")

1) I survived the 'stone age' for 1 week. My phone had been sent for repair for 1 ENTIRE week. Gosh, you'd nv understd all the inconvenience this means unless u experience it yourself, sitting in lectures alone, unable to tell ur friends where u are, having to plan mtgs the day b4 and cross ur fingers hoping that ur friend doesn't play u out.....and....wondering if someone was gg to call u abt that scholarship u were applying for and couldn't get u!!

2) Today I ran!!! For 4 years since i left jc i don't think i ever ran....sigh^ of course my timing wasn't as good as before (I'm positive but don't expect miracles) and there was a lot of walking in between the 2km that I tried to cover. But I cycled 4km before the run so it was pardonable? I reached home looking like a purple tomato, but it was good sweating it out.

3) I finished my Einstein's paper. I decided that it was not my style to depend on other people. So I wrote the paper by myself and my teammates profited. It was the same for the biz law assignment too. This is one my strengths and weakness...I don't trust my teammates to do a good job. Things shldn't be this way, I shld learn how to work together with ppl... but....aiyah, it's just a hurdle which I can't cross yet. Anyone wants me as a teammate?

Opps digressed... the point i was going to make abt the paper is that through the 1day process of writing it, I realised that I had some potential to be a successful novelist. Muhahhah

4) On fri I spent a few hours in the sch studying with wping and pearl. I only made it home at 11.30pm. On wed, our project mtg ended at 10 and i reached home at 11.15. Assuming time put in is proportional to the final score, I think I did well this week. But that is of course....if the assumption holds.

5) Someone wrote a testimonial for me on Friendster. That's something because....no one ever writes testimonials for me.

6) I attended the 2-day ycm workshop last week. Es & i previously held the view that this bastion of exclusivity was out of bounds to us....who wld hv thought i was accepted?! Got to know quite a no. of ppl there but not too well yet. In fact, i think i got blacklisted for being too quiet. you know how these things go....u join a panel, the ppl r youthful, outgoing, sociable and if you are just a little more quiet there, your silence is DEAFENING! Well i think this happened to me bcos i got singled out twice but 2 different speakers to answer their qns. It was well-intentional, no problem with that, i think they just wanted to give everyone a chance to speak up, but it did made me feel quite conscious that ppl were aware that i was too quiet. Opps. So on Day2 i decided to be more open and speak up. Alas, my nose did not agree with me and I spent the whole day sneezing away. Once again i don't think that went down well with the rest. How??? hopefully 1st impressions don't count much and I'd be able to redeem myself over the nx year on the panel. It's already worth celebrating that I got in didn't I?
