back..

 

been a long time since i last blogged.. well, so back here to clear some dust..

 

looking back, been a long yet fast 9 days since my last post.. long because many many things happened and fast because it just passed in a nick of time..

 

on a random note, have been seeing really "nice" time since the start of the year.. so much so that it becomes kinda scary.. example of nice time wil be like 12:12 or 12:21.. yups.. those that are symmetrical.. just saw 07:07 a moment ago.. wonder if this is symbolic of anything..

 

have been reaching home rather late and been really tired so spent  time writing diary instead both blogging and  making written diary entries..

 

events that occurred:

• double mock SPAs
• lots of techrun for guitar concert + actual full dress rehearsal
• sc investiture
• pencil lead appeared from swelling [after 10 plus years]
• buying of sport shoes
• pw result

 

mock SPAs
currently, the SPA assessments are mainly Skill As. so the both mock SPAs [which were on the same day] were skill A for physics and biology. well, i haven yet to score a decent grade for physics skill A, always stuck with a 4/8 grade.. and actual assessment is this coming tuesday.. O.O by the way, mock SPA was really out of the box, in other words, screwed.
bio spa, on the other hand, is always returned with a lousy grade too. but that's the norm. a "C" grade. quote Dr Yap: if you get a C, you are generally safe. dont worry. ok lo.. a little clueless how to get a better grade anyway.. many many shrugs..

 

techruns and rehearsal
the initial few were really chaotic but the subsequent ones are really a lot better. though i will say that they are all time consuming but they are definitely "must-spend time". hope things will run smoothly on the actual day [like A levels huh?; only the actual event is the most important].. glad that at least i have things to fill up my very long backstage period.. =) it's a form of contribution too right? haha..

 

sc investiture
it ran rather smoothly [glad that it did], besides the point that the balloons dropped in the midst of the event. in 心里难免有些“空虚”.. the same weird feeling as uniform without tie. looking back, have been wearing tie since sec2! haha.. all the best to the new batch of shsc! [tuki tuki, tuki tuki!] ~really corny video.. lolz!! hunting for all the sc photos now..

 

pencil lead appeared from swelling [after 10 plus years]
ok... this is kinda amazing.. when i was about K2, i kicked on to this pencil which was lying on the ground and well, it pierced into my sole and after that, a swelling appeared there. all these times the swell was there and it will hurt when i press it.. must be due to the frequent running [or over running (in bad shoes), hence my shin splint], i notice that the swell is shifting position and it "evolved to become a 水泡 like thing but with a black rim [hard to describe]. then the day after the long day of sc investiture and techrun [being in np booths for like half the day], that swell burst [was really quite gross]. "juice" just kept coming out with a little blood.. and i noticed it only after the whole day when i reached home and finally took off my shoes. so after washing up, i plastered the wound and go to sleep. will see doctor the next day regarding the bad splint so can 顺便 see this lo. upon reaching the doc, and told him about the splint and everything, he got me to go do an x-ray to check if there is a stress fracture [luckily dont have].. and after that, i told him about the swell and started to remove the plaster. AND to my great great surprise, a black thing popped out from the wound [the best description i can think of is like a diglet popping out from a hole]. so i pulled that black thing out and it is a pencil lead. O.O kinda shocked.. lead in my body for 10 over years.. yiwei said i can become lead-man.. lolz.. and then mom said perhaps that is the reason why i eat so much and still so small size.. rofl.. lots of "perhaps"

paiseh pic kinda bad.. pasted it in my diary book.. it is about 0.7 cm in length.. amazing sia.. got this feeling of 难中祸福.. gain a splint but got rid of a lead in the body.. now foot got a hole.. a black one.. lolz..

 

buying of sport shoes
since was rather free that day, supposed to be a day of break [but doing the x-ray and stuff took up like half the day already], mom accompanied me to get my DECENT sport shoes.. no more china brand? haha.. splint sucks.. makes squatting really painful.. kneeling too. went to novena and there is this shop called the running something.. was thinking how the hell the shops survive when there are so many sports shops in the same place.. velocity is the name of the building [kinda nice too, inline with sporty feel].. went into that shop and they got this "service" which help you pick the shoes that suit you. first they will ask you to take off your shoes and they estimate your arc [and the guy said mine was normal (hope so)], and then pick a few shoes [within budget (shoes there were like around 170!!!!)] and let you test them out on a treadmill. i did also add another criteria of wanting my shoes to be in the shades of blue.. lolz. and that narrowed down to 2 shoes.. couldnt really try out the shoes because i just had a late lunch and the splint. eventually settled on the mizuno pair. it cost a whooping 179.90 bucks.. gosh.. told mom that perhaps should walk around and see if have other pairs but then mom said it's ok, get the first pair to get the feel of THE type of sport shoes then next time can better pick shoes. something like buy the knowledge. luckily have 10percent discount for safra members and 30percent for safra running club. well, i am only a dependent member and definitely not in the running club [omg, cant really imagine a life of just running; i think my lungs will just invert.. rofl] hope that no more splints after this shoe..

 

pw result
aye.. stress was in the air when everyone gathered in the LT. remembered i was still in front asking about some physics doubts and then so many people just flocked in. i was wondering what was happening [didnt know that venue was in LT2], but guessed it when the P and VPs entered.. was really relieved upon seeing the result.. remembered that i dont even know how to read the score mr tang showed me. was reading mr tang's gestures and we all conclude that he wasnt really smiley [remembered his really emo email to all of us].. really responsible and nice teacher.. really couldnt ask for more from an ST.. remembered him meeting us at the mac in bedok.. really a pity that that very spot is currently being demolished. really fond memories.. upon receiving the result.. though i was really relieved [because i told myself that it will not be surprising for me to get a B (or even C) because of the mistiming during OP], didnt feel exactly all great.. was another mixed feeling.. see friends really upset [perfectly understandable] over their results.. well, PW really cost everyone lots of effort, lots of time and lots of sleep.. who will not wish for the best grade? furthermore, with a greater percentage of people scoring the better grade, it just seem like the best possible grade being the norm. well, in my opinion, the grading is definitely not an accurate gauge of one's performance; more of an opinionated conclusion. really too subjective. on the other hand, i have been thinking if one's better grade was made possible with the other's lower grade.. if it is as such, it is really not a healthy competition. some say it is the cruel law of nature for competition to be heartless.. indeed, i am unable to think of an alternative but seriously hope that one will surface.. as a student, i frequently questions my role.. am i so learn as much information as i can or am i suppose to learn how to solve exam questions? both most will say. i do agree but there are times when either has to be forgo due to the lack of time or in the name of competition.. most chooses to be exam oriented.. and i find this choice particularly disturbing..

 

but after all, in this realistic world.. i guess i have to start learning how to better tackle exams...

 

 

 

a really nice duet... really nice..
