10:57...=) Woke up at 640 today. Boy i am late!! Rushed to complete my morning regulars and left home at 710am, 15 min later thn b4. Told dad not to rush cos everytime he revs the car n send the needles flyin, my heart sinks together with the fuel. I knew i was rite, i wasnt late. Waited for Slpy Head to leave dreamland n appeared 2 hours later. =)
Met up with Nic at FC 6 for breakfast. Coincidentally, met David, Boon Seng n gang going for a meal too after doin their Melody Generator. Ate ecnomy mifen n guo tiao plus egg, otah n hash brown. WTH ehz, $1.70 niaz!! No way you can find such a deal at the sch of MM manz.
Phua's Powerplant lecture was, err, haizz...lost of words. I practically slept e whole lesson, so yaz. Went to discuss FYP for 5 min with Jy, Nic n emi. Thn went to use com with JY. He's bz lookin at cars tat with all our life's work earnings added together for 3 generations wouldnt even be able to buy the engine n air-conditioning system. Anyway, its gd to hav dreamz..=) Looked at Lifestylex.com...Remembered its my time killer whn i was at ITP at AFS. Read e jokes section, dam funny, n at e same time JY keep askin me to turn my head to gaze at his monitor as the figures climbed each car he showed me. Argg, was rather irritating.
Ganesh's Mech lecture was again, haizz. OM was great, as usual. talkin abt Partnership and Company and stuff. After sch, went to Finance Dept to pay my sch fees with Liyana. 1st time, it as empty. Still remembered e previous time i paid the queue was outside the office. After tt went to Avionics lab to help liyana, nic n Dav with their Melody Gen. Sux ehz, practically walked frm 1 end to e other end of e campus. Tried to study but to no avail. Ppl was dam noisy, esp nic.
Quickly left lab at 520 for Napfa. Seeing all the test equipment, it didnt really bring back fond memories. Gawin, Dav, WX, Nic, Josh, Ruben were thr. I was in e same grp as e former 4. Also in our grp, 1 prominent guy was Kenridge. Boy, they say he's a model...yaz can tell...=/
1st up was shutter run. i was num 66. Ken went 2nd. WX n i got 10.96s n 10.94s respectively. Theorically, we failed. Tried again n both got 10.3s...=) Damn ehz, the rubber track was slippery. Think don put the mat would be better lorz.
Next was Standing Board Jump. I got 222cm, tats a 'D', enough for a silver. But i went to try again, and got 232. As i landed for e 2nd jump, i leaned on my left arm as i lost balanced. AHHHH, felt a sharp pain shot thru my left shoulder. Dav practically ate the mat up, WX short of 2 cm whereas Gawin got a 'D'. =)
Following, was Sit-ups. Rooted Nic's feet as he pushed himself thru. Ehz, thr's a little of undecency here, think better don say...Next was me n i did 42, jus enough to get 'A'. David was beside me and he freaking did 70!! Tats like one in 0.857142857 secs!! Godlike, terminator...=/
Chin-up. Nic backed out without doing a single one. I did n e 1st 4 was ok. As i did e 5th, i was startin to swing. Arrggg....Managed the 6th. I was surprised and its my record!! Struggled for the 7th but managed to do only 6.78. Dav, WX n Gawin did 7. Sux, i felt sucky.
Sit-n-reach. I nv wanted to get more the a 'C'. The station attendant stood down beside me and was sort of talkin crap. I couldnt see e markin on the scale as it was rather worn so she jus placed her finger on e scale and asked me to push the marker and touch her finger. I did, n was short of 2 cm. She said again!! so i did. She said again!!! i did but still cant. "wats tat readin??" i asked her but she didnt say and asked me to push harder. So i took a deep breath n went for it, could feel my butt muscles splitting. I did it!! Relief!! WTH, i did 51cm ehz, and its an 'A'!! Wa, felt like slappin n thankin her. =)
So all 5 stations done le, now left with 2.4. Staring at e pull-up bar, i went to the counter and asked if i could retake. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was ok. 6 i was startin to swing, starting to struggle. I gave my last shot of strength. Made only 6.1. Guessed e in-charged saw tat i struggled and did a dozen in total, he gave me a 7. Enough to get a 'C'...=)
90 of us gathered at the starting line. The timer started and paced off. WX and i were slowly and steadily slicing past each individual. At the startin of e 2nd lap, Shit!! 2min!! Cham, if i carried on like this, i wouldnt be able to meet my 11min40s requirement for a 'C'. I speeded up, abandoning WX..sry. Time was lookin on e gd side. At the 5th lab, i was behind Ruben..Boy was he fast. Pass by Nic, Josh, Ga, n Dav. Was surprised whn i pass Dav. Followed Ruben all the way till 200 metres, was practically breathing thru my stone-dry mouth le. By 100metres, we were side by side. We acknowledged n i sprinted forward. He caught up. We crossed e finishing line together. It was a moment to be remembered...10:57, 1st time in my life...!! =) After walkin ard a little, met up with Josh. He got stitch n was dissappointed. WX was complacent and didnt make it by 5 secs. David was not feelin well, got alot of phlegm.
Whn to Clementi in Nic's Jazz for dinner with all our aching bodies. Chatted abt this and tat. Oh ya Gen was there too. =)
Went home with Wx and Gen. They were great fun but i felt like a lamp post. WX was still mouning over his complacency. Got off at Sgoon, don wanna be lampost le. Went home dead tired. Its now abt 1am. I should be slpin...Arrggg...My left shoulder achin like hell now...Hope my arm's still there tml...

[[ Dont ].[ Quit ]]
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit...
[[ Just ].[ a ].[ shoRt ].[ inTro ].[ =) ]]
Jus a simple guy looking forward to a simple and happy life
