nie biathlon

yay, muddy's perfect post promos celebrations!

went to ntu campus today for the nie biathlon! yep, for the record, mok just swept all three races he entered!

Besides a fumble when my watch came off after the first lap, a not-so-accurate push off after a somersaut turn that sent muddy towards the lane barrier/buoy thingy (thankfully i wasn't in lane 1 or 8) and er... the occassional crashing into the thingy (2 people to a lane),

the swim was good (:

muahahahhahahah

10 laps 10.16

after promos, without training, last yr was some crapping 12-14 minutes, can't really remember. haha, bel said my face was damn red after coming out, and er... i think if someone tapped my shoulder during the transition, i would have piaked and died.

ok, then the run gg. haha, it was quite scenic running through ntu, lots of slopes, well, definitely more than 5km though. so total time was 49 minutes, damn gg, minus 10 for swimming, minus abt 3 for transition (mok was some imba 13 sec transition), 36minutes for the run.

wheeeeeeeeeeeee, darinne and bel are powerful (:

yay, the race felt good, yay, the gg-fying swim was a bonus (: haven't swam since don't know when.

time to play pharaoh!

wheeeeeee

hey, my post after geog and maths disappeared! anw, i thought of a list of stuff i want to do after As (:

• hop onto the Tibet express, go backpacking in Asia
• find a job with an adventure travel agency
• come back to rj to teach pe (:
• standard chartered full marathon!
• IRONMAN LANGKAWI!

yep, happy (: well, so promos are over. haha, nothing spectacular's happening after it, apart from the planned celebration=biathlon tmr!
anw, was thinking of random stuff, everyone needs a hero! yay, muddy's super lucky to be surrounded by many imba people (like belinda, clara, darinne, alisa) mega strong people, inspiration to train (:

yep, from now till laos trip, it'll be training training training. yep, just took some time to draw a no. of pullups against time/month graph, wheeeeeeeeeee (: and er... 'by a graphical argument', it is a bit siao to whack 14 MORE pullups in a month, that's like 3 a week. so there, if i train slightly siao-er than in may (where pullups increased from 6 to 12) btw, may went for more water, hardly had land, so the trick is to keep running? yea... that must be it.

23 pullups by the birthday (: 25 by laos, and 30 by the year (: YES
11.20 2.4 by the birthday, 11.10 by laos, and sub 11 by the year

yea, ok very good. time for another peak (: yea, run more and build abs! muahahahahhah (:

day 2 (:

wheeeeeeeee, muddy's so glad econs is over.

haha, studying geog now, and you know what? muddy feels super happy mugging geog (: compared to yesterday's econs... wheeeeee, can't believe muddy actually finds seemingly boring topics like horton's over land flow, water table and storm hydrographs super interesting (: yay, happy (:

can't wait for tmr, muddy's two favouritest papers, 3 hours each! yay, maths and geog, wheeeeeee (: 6 hours, just muddy and the two nice subjects, yay (:

exams (promos)... hm.. seems like some time freeze thingy, where you're not bothered by anything else except er... the paper lah. haha, wheeeeee

spongebob's calling (: yay

happy promos (: and bring jacket!

gp promos day 1

yay, had a happy gp paper today (: wheeeeeee

hoped it went well for everyone (:

haha, i looked at the paper, and realised the 1st question was undoable, so were the er... 10 questions, yep, so only got question 2; was on sports! yay (:

happy!

econs await!

happy promos (:

YES

HAPPY PROMOS (:

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

time to get back in shape, muahahahhahahaha. yes, muddy has new evil plans. wheeeeeeeeeeee

wheeeee

hi muddy! muahahahhaha, happy!

spent the day rotting away, reading lots of economist and time, yep, i can't believe i'm saying this, but BRING IT ON EVIL PROMOS!

wheeeeeeeeeeeee

happy (: doing stuff to boost brain power now= neopets! yay, almost got a trophy for koujong, haha, close! wheeeeeee

wheeee

wheeeeeeee

neopets is good for building brain power (: wheeeeeee

another can't sleep day (nite), but well, at least there's the playground to keep muddy busy!

wheeeeeeeeee

wheeeeeeee

wheeeeeeeee

muddy feels super smart now!

yay (: happy day (:

1 more week to mega playing time!

nie biathlon

YES!

NIE biathlon, here i come!

wheeeeeeeeeeee

swim 500m (10 laps) run 5 km
categories: men's/women's open/doubles, mixed doubles
registration fee $10, sign up by 25 sept, yep, contact me if you're interested (:

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

happy (: haha, last yr's biathlon was muddy's first proper race (:

day 66

2 months already

YES! muddy feels powerful, recharged! wheeeeeee, yep, today muddy remembers what it's like to have a dream, a vision to work towards to! something crazy, something 'they' said couldn't be done, a challenge! to feel inspired, to feel motivated; there's a purpose to all these after all (:

it's payback time! MUAHAHAHHAHAH (: in a good way lah, nothing sinister. service to sch, haha, that sounds damn noble. but it's really about giving back, doing your part. think the big picture is lost once in a while, and if opportunities don't come, create them! YES! WHEEEEEEEE

muddy, the world awaits!

a new day awaits tmr, tmr is declared playing day

yay, think writing aqs kinda make sense after talking to mr hau. yep, everything suddenly seemed to click into place, very good. and the evil pw report is done; lol, we didn't want to read through again just in case we found mistakes.

very good.

no matter how tough life gets, don't forget to play.

what happened can only bring everyone closer. rj is like how big, it's hard to know everyone, then again, you might just know almost everyone as a bus stop friend or just a familiar face. the kind you meet at the bus stop and say "waiting for bus? going home?" or at lunch "eating ah?"

another reminder to stop procrastinating, to get things done, to look around, thanks for the lesson.

time to play

second day of term 4

yay, pe lesson was super fun today (: we played volleyball! memories of the disastrous volleyball pe lesson days of sec 2 come flooding back. wheeeeeeee

haha, we got hidden talent! wheeeee, shawna, lemin, xinying, me against sau, pingni, jerryca and mr leong. my funnest, funniest and most successful volleyball game ever! wheeeeeeeeeee, did i mention we used some weak noob ball? haha, shawna is mega powerful! nus volleyball!

gp was good i guess, yea... guess what comments i got for acheiving my best ever compre score 34.5/50?

"Cheryl, stop sleeping in class! " then plus more stuff lah.

lol, i didn't sleep today! wheeeeeeeeee, it's a good start. yep, i tried to be very interested in the ppt slides and focused on the words. see, usually whay it doesn't work it's because visual learnes (see!) need the other person to look at what they're talking abt/presenting.

anw, die evil aq and summary, i will gg you during promos. wheeee

yay, then went to gym. quite happy now, aching (: haha and guess what again? my brother came home today and plonked a pullup bar in front of me! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee happy (: now to look for a nice place to fix it up.

feeling very awake now, muddy's a night squirrel! (omg, muddy's damn traumatised after hearing you can eat squirrels in malaysia) yep, it's more peaceful, quiet and nice at night. good time to do some thinking (:

wheeee

wheeeeeee

it works!

first day of term 4 (:

back to school!

yep, what a great start to the week! happy (: yep, first lesson of the day was with mr kadir! wheeeee (: and mr kok patiently answered all my math questiosn thru email! pro (: yep, and geog lecture today was good, watched a video clip: dying to get in. it's abt illegal immigrants, a case study of a chinese illegal immigrant trying to get into north america thru canada.

i think most Singaporeans would share the same view as the canadians, "deport them! lock them up!", some xenophobic thinking? on one hand there's nothing wrong with that, for singapore it's more of a concern of security and economic interests i guess. yep, but when you hear abt the stories of these illegal immigrants in the us who finally made it big, you can't help but wonder if well, they're a bad thing after all.

gp was writing essay. wrote something geog related again, haha, useful.

ahhhhh was feeling not weak, but um.. less powerful haha. wheeeee, too long never train. yep, but momentum's setting in, yay (:

yay, muddy has a new secret training strategy! muahahahhahaha (: must test if it works first.

wheeee

yay! playground! muddy misses you alot! yay, see you tmr (:

wheeeee

ahhhhh

still can't sleep

no stars tonight!

just a bright bright moon.

and red sky

and the resonance from the ships docking at the port

crap, yes, i better go lock the door and BOLT it shut. got half a mind to run out and play! or cycle (: control muddy, control.

muddy wish muddy had a pullup bar at home, the (exact) same one as SDBA. the rusty bar with nice hinges at the side for you to step up on. after promos muddy will get a pullup bar at home! don't think the door frame one will work, yay, muddy wants the sdba one! you think they will give/sell it to muddy?

ok, shall go play neopets (: hope to feel tired by 2am.

wheeeee

lalala, this is no fun, i can't sleep! argh

even after 100++ pushups

and attempts to do one-arm pushups

so now muddy's left with the 20 pullups and sub 11.30 2.4 for 6 week plan.

lalala (:

happy now (: milo and bread with peanut butter (crunchy!)

the mugging plan's alive! econs more or less covered, maths left chapter 9 and 10 and the stack of revision questions, and physics tmr! geog is under control (: yay, i like the way geog is super logical! haha, but must pia for physical geog, later get owned by karst!

ahhhh, interesting fact: guess what you can find bird's nest? that's right! tropical karst! somehow these bird nest thingy can be found in limestone formations (caves and just random chunks of limestone)

wheeeeeeee (: shall go outside to gaze at stars (:

sea games 2013!

GUESS WHAT?

sea games 2013 comes to singapore! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (:

by then i'll be 24!

wheeeeeeeeeeeee (:

fruits and smileys (:

day 55 already. almost 2 months since nationals.

ahhhhhhhh

yesterday and today muddy was itching to play. wheeee (: pushups and stuff no kick, even the makeshift rowing thingy muddy set up. yep, so hopped over to... the playground! muahahahha, it's a real playground, complete with little kids running around. yep, made do with the monkey bars! felt powerful (as usual!) muahahahhahaha (:

mugging is under control (: yea.. it's starting to get fun. wheeeeeee

ahhhh, yes, finally found it

"share your inspiration with others, but keep your fears to yourself." ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

haha muddy don't be scared, you have special alien powers (: muahahahhaha

muddy feels powerful doing 1 week's worth of 1100 words in 5 minutes instead of the 50min to 1h15min as stated in the book. yep, did another month or so of 1100 words! muahahahhahaha (:

hm.. anw, my dad bought fruits, loads of them. for this week alone: 35 red apples, 13 green pears, 9 yellow pears, 4 korean pears, 2 pineapples, 5 kg of longans.

yep, my maid doesn't really eat fruits (she eats vegetables), my bro doesn't like pineapples/pears/red apples (somehow he eats vegetables), dad's working most of the time (wait... even dad eats vegetables, hm...) so....

for this sept hols, every day muddy eats: 3-5 apples, 2-4 pears, a bowl of longans plus random pineapple. YAY!

healthy? healthy! muahahahahhaha (: the vegetable plan has been shelved. dad's going malaysia= no spinach.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and smileys look better this way (: a right tilt smiley!

wheeeee

something random popped into my head. why do we train so hard? we're up against people, some have been rowing for 4 years already, so some simple maths, for every one hour they train, we must train for five. for every day they train, we train 5 days (:

and knowing some of these imba people train.. (give discount, 5 days a week?) = we need to train... 25 days! muahahahahahaha

anw, steve irwin, also known as crocodile hunter, died in a freak accident 2 days back. got stung by a stingray. my brother watches his 'croc files' show and stuff but i don't. yea.. saw this in the papers today, "he died doing what he loved". twisted yea.

mum, if you're reading this, the govt and moe is making teaching more attractive! lots of new benefits and $$$ for teachers (:

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee (:

reading a couple of quotes now, draw power to begin mugging!

"...we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." Thomas Paine

"Somewhere, someplace there is a person that is practicing while you are not, and when you face that person face to face he will beat you." Bill Bradley

yea... the 6 week plan might be over, but the fight's not finished yet. if we believe in ourselves, we can do it (:

psl camp day 52 (:

wheeeee

felt really good to be back! the whole happy happy atmosphere (:
and for once, there are uber many tarbetians in psb! wheeeeee (:

went to crash psl camp today (: haha, must say i'm very impressed with the new psls (: yay, the red name tags, our sec 1s! super proud of you guys (: the tarbet kids (103,108 didn't really see 113). and part as (: congrats to 3 of you (: 45 powerful people! yay, we see alot of potential in you guys and you're living up to it (: haha, it's this thing abt sec1-sec4 batch. wheeeee, when we were sec 1s, yea, we worshipped our sec 4s, and we always told ourselves "when we become sec4s, we want to be just like them!"

haha, think we somehow managed to pass it down to you guys (: yea.. and tradition holds, when it's time for you all (our little sec 1s) to lead orientation, we'll be back!

all the best for a great journey in psb (: still rmb during my psl camp, mrs chia said something like "with great power comes great responsibility", wearing the psl badge is an honour, wear it with pride. mrs wee said the same thing today, that with the badge comes a duty to the school. do us proud new psls and spsls (: haha, and even the old 06 spsls! no matter what happens, stand tall, stand proud (:

haha, and all the psychoing works (: yay, all the rg sec 4s who've decided to join canoeing (or want to come down for clinics) well done! you all have made a very good choice (: muahahahhahahaha, haha, kope swimmers (:

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, happy (: and econs is under control (:
