It starts from my toes, and I wrinkle my nose

Friday, August 29, 2008 Its one of those days that you feel bummed and out. Stupid cough is getting to my brains racking my chest. I swear I could dig my cheat out scrub it clean and place it back.

I lack strength. Dont even know if I can complete 22km tomorrow. Strength please come back.


Childish moments. But i've been doing it. haha. at least the latter 2.



Thursday, August 28, 2008 160808.
I went down to the reserviour like any other saturday training. Oh how I wish it was. That Coach didnt had that talk with Chrys, that Coach didnt leave them with a decision to make: Do you want to quit?, that everything will be alright and she'll forgive him for the rubbish that he said and she'll continue training and we'll do our 10km in a K2.

Chrys didnt even tell me before hand. All I got was shock and numbness for the rest of the day. Blame me that I rely too much on people. That Im selfish and only wanted what I thought would be the greatest possibility of winning a K2 race. Stunned. My mind was blank when Wei Jie who was the first to tell me the news relayed it to me. I tried to act nonchalant. I tried to be strong that it didnt affect me. But after hugging her, my screen bravado broke. I guess I was thankful for my sunglasses. I was desperately trying to hide away from the juniors. I had to be strong but I couldnt.

The last thing Chrys said? "if you want an explanation i'll email you" That wasnt what I wanted, and still not what I want.




Disappointed? Very. But it's her choice and I respect that.

Thursday, August 28, 2008 Alright man! exams are over! 2 months of holidays! 2 months of training! 2 weeks of F1 work! moooneyy coming in. Yipee!

Hopefully Mr Sun will be out on training days, though we're training early mornings. :D


Tuesday, August 26, 2008 Being sick with cough and on the brink of asthma isnt the best thing that could happen during exam week.

I'm living this week and forever more on God and nothing else. Lord help me.



Sunday, August 24, 2008 Today isnt the best day to end study week. Aching body, freezing weather, feeling like a dump. For no particular reason, my back and head has been aching the entire day. Forcing me to cut down on studies and instead commit the most horrible crime during study week. Sleep, sleep sleep. 5 hours additional. Oh goodness gracious, Lord have mercy on me. Help me in my papers tomorrow.

I concluded that my muscles went into a state of shock. They were probably waiting for the usual saturday trainings to start but it never came. So they spasmed and cause all the aches im experiencing now. And I feel like a 10 000 year old granny with rheumatism. Though its not in the bones. haha.

Atrocious timings I swear. Attractions Management paper set at 9 30am and Accounting paper at 7pm. 6 hours of suspense. Nvm. Sam will make full use of the 6 hours. Practice practice practice. I must, I shall, I will balance the balance sheet and not make careless mistakes on the profit and loss statements.

Beijing Olympics has come to a close. Some sports never cease to amuse me. Handball for one. The female Russian team's coach. One fierce grizzly bear. the only thing that I understood was "STUPID STUPID!". and he scolded them for crying after they lost the gold medal to Norway. Cold hearted bear.

Adam Van Korverdann under performed. Getting trashed in the 1000m and coming in only a 2nd for 500m. What got me rolling on the couch in laughter was seeing Tim Brabants biting his bronze medal. Hello! only gold medallists are suppose to bite their Gold medal. and thats to test if its pure gold (which it isnt anyway). You dont bite to test if yours is pure bronze! Go and do some reading up on olympics history sir.

" These guys will be on breakfast cereal boxes!"- Canoeing/Kayaking commentator on China's C2 Men paddlers who claimed the Gold.

Friday, August 22, 2008 Motivation to study hard and look forward to next saturday.


Hurry, learn to balance quickly friend! :D Cookies for you and me!

Friday, August 22, 2008 Samsee spent her friday rowing, eating, talking and i dont know what else. Everything except studying. :((

I've booked my BTT! 16 October. Tagged along with Bo Chun, Xiang Lin and fellow friend. If not I wont know how to go there. Flying grass and the long long walk cause we dropped off too early. Roar! Haha.

STUDY SAM STUDY! Maintain 3.5! GAHHHHH.

Monday, August 18, 2008
I'm so afraid that my GPA will fall. It Cannot, Must Not, Will Not, Shall Not drop below a 3.5.
Sam will start mugging real hard from tuesday onwards.

Wandering up and down the library today didnt help much in studying.

No fear Sam! You can do it. After all...if God is for you, who can be against you? :)

Saturday, August 16, 2008 TAS Party Night was simply smashing. I'm already missing the class. 2K01, this semester has been great, awesome, fantastic, wonderful, a blast. TAS life would not be what it was without you all.

Max was silly enough to tap in and out in and out of the monorail station. He wanted to do it for the last time. hahaha.

Wee Chew: You becoming a class rep just because you picked the paper with a smiley face on it. So grateful for a spunky rep like you. Continue to drum man! jam some day =)

Amanda Yap: Call me, call me!!! mambo night. Forever getting high and rushing off for casting and work. Stop being grumpy over your hair yea. :D
Gina: Seriously, no matter how much teasing you've gotten from me, the "fondue", mud pie, GST, joke of the century and a thousand other things everyday, you've been a great great friend. really glad to have you in my class. really, truly. All the best for netball IVPs yea. :)
Joanne: Luge craze! haha. Seeing your crazy poses in the pictures make me laugh
Clarissa: Spongebob campfire song, la bi xiao xin, HAM JING PENG and all your superb imitations of different voices are gonna be missed.

Right I have 13 more statements to wirite for 2K01. leave it till next time. :DD

The perfect attire for Business Etiquette & Service Excellence assessment.

Slippers, wrongly buttoned blazer, backpack, unpinned hair. Well...it is Sentosa, rather warm you know. Dont blame me!

Monday, August 11, 2008 School today was a tad disappointing. I was expecting the release of results for ROM only to be informed that technology itself will be used to convey the coursework grade instead of the tutors being the usual medium. Arghhhhh.

But Mr. Fernando was nice enough to let us off 40mins earlier so that Amanda and i could run off in search of a television in Sentosa to catch the 100m Butterfly finals. Yes Tao Li. We initially thought that the reception lady would be kind enough to relent and change the channel from CNA to 5 for 5 minutes. Kind was she not. I never liked her anyway. So we started panicking but smart me remembered the TV that hangs from the ceiling of KOUFU, 200m away. Run we did. Just in time to find a seat and watch the competitors stroll in. 5th placing, 18 years of age. She has 10 more years of future. and I'm pretty certain that if she keeps it up Tao Li wont have any problem of placing in the London 2012.

Managed to catch part of syncronised diving while on the way to TP. China's perfect 10 gave them the Gold. Beautiful extensions, points and entry. Simply amazing, in perfect harmony while for other countries, most of them were not able to enter together.

Gymnastics...the horror, nightmare one can experience falling from the uneven bars, confidence shattered to a million pieces but yet needing to complete the sequence. Poor He Kexin. I guess it took her all she got to control her tears until after completion. I should think that even though the team managed to place 1st for the day, the guilt, embarassment and shattered confidence will affect the rest of her performance. God Bless her little heart.

Right, enough of me rattling on and on about the Olympics. Its exactly 2 weeks to my first 2 papers. Attractions Management and Accounting for Hospitality and Tourism. Oh GG. I have not started my revision. Lord help me.




Sunday, August 10, 2008 I hate, detest, loath the current McDonald's advertisement depicting Olympic athletes muching on fries and burgers. Come On! Give us a break. Its the Olympics for goodness sake. I bet half the population of the Olympics village has not and will never step foot into the Mc's outlet there. The other half that do...thats because they're only officials and they dont have to c are about their diet.



I've turned anti Mediacorp. They have close to zlich showing of the kayak semis/finals/heats. Only on the 23rd for 1 hour. ONLY 1 HOUR and it isnt Live. HD 5 is showing buttttt tell me, who in the world has HD 5? *growls* Stupid Mediacorp

Wednesday, August 06, 2008 Im goin to the zoo zoo zoo, how about you you you?
You can come too too too, we're going to the zoo zoo zoo. :D

I want to visit the zoooo. But exams are coming. How how how. and I dont have a car to drive down. Uncle Xiang Lin said friday but i gotta submit my smelly bese portfolio. If only I can complete it tonight. =/ and then submit it tomorrow. and then Zoooo on friday. Oh wells. After exams it shall be.

Tuesday and today were grumpy, headache-y days.

Talking to coach about Mr W. made me think a lot these few days. let it go sam let it go.

Sunday, August 03, 2008 The entire weekend has been simply wonderfully amazing. Thank You dear friends for your wishes, celebrations and numerous cakes. I gotta train extra hard this week to work it all off. Haha.


Friday was spent helping coach with emails and then he drove me down to sentosa for my class's volleyball game. Which turned out to be a whipping good time. (pun intended) Thanks ah Amanda! I was covered in whipped cream which melted under the hot sun.
