Its been a totally busy week. In fact, I am using the school's computer lab to do this post again... Looks like thursday will officially be publish new post day.

The new specs are a massive improvement man! Can't explain how much its a relief to get my vision back. And with it most of my emotional and physical faculties.

On Sunday my PW group came to my house for discussion. Tossed a few ideas around before settling on our hotel related one. Of course, it got rejected. Well, don't say we didn't try.

Today I put forward my second idea. About announcements in bus interchanges. It got rejected as well.... I don't know... It seems nothing can satisfy the stringent criteria of the school..... or mayb just our ST. At this rate we're never going to get a feasible project for the rest of the year. Seems that other groups spend a lot of time tossing ideas around, lively and everything. On the other hand our group sits, stones, sleeps, and suddenly like a miracle someone would snap out of the stupor and say something to the extent of "Eureka!" before spouting out an idea.

Its then countered by:
Not feasible
Too expensive
Too technological
You get the idea.

In a short while the idea owould get thoroughly de-Eureka-ed.

NAPFA was on monday. Pretty ok, although I was let down pretty much by my shoes which are literally falling apart at the seams. Skidded during shuttle run, tripped during SB jump. Anyway i retook those categories later on. The PE teachers were unusually merciful.... Heh.. anyway they owe us first aiders for our services on Sports Day.... =Pp.... Finaly score 2As, 1B, 2Cs. Enough for a gold I think. Next week will be 2.4 run, supposedly my favourite and best category. Hope my shoes can hold up to the remaining stress of the well.... Othewise, death.

Fencing is pretty ok... a good first cca for the new committee... Everyone is improving as fast as they can probably. The girls are quite good actually considering, 'cept they are a bit rigid. The IPs had various activities that day, so not much time to see them in action. All I know at the moment is that Jonathan and Shakura are pretty good. Jomaine is supposed to be good too, cos she trained as a foilist before, like Michelle. Pity Michelle isn't around. Pity Jomaine is now kind injured. We could really use their help now.

Competition in less than 2 months. So many things to do:

Website
Shirt
Noticeboard
Communication network

And a lot more. Sighz. Hope we can manage. The committee is able though. We should =)

Tuesday foil was highly amusing. It was quite empty considering everyone was having exams. Fenced with Nick and Wei Yang. The bout with Wei Yang lasted a full 25 minutes, almost 3 times the usual time of a standard duel. Moreover he is no mean opponent, being left handed as well as a 4-year experienced fencer. In the end we were chased off the piste by other impatient fencers with the score 14-11 in his favour. Guess he won... haha...

Yesterday.... Looks like I can hold my own against any other member of the club.... at the moment. Beat Maurice 15-13 I think, and Victoria 15-4. Victoria's not a bad fencer for her level of experience actually.... just that she doesn't straighten her hand so fast. Against Victor from SJI it was a narrow 14-something victory. Against the ITE guys of course, I died.

But no injuries for 3 days of fencing!!! Hope it can last until today. I have epee lesson later. Hope I'm not pushing it too far though... cos of fencing I'd have to stay up way late to do my tuitorials. But how else is there to improve. Yesterday was the limit, Bio adn GP piled up together. Bah.

I think fatigue got too tight a hold today.... While chasing the class to Chem tuitorial. We were already 12 minutes late. I don't think we'd been later in recent memory. Usually we'd make it maximum 7 minutes late, and that would be after forcing our way through a crowd. But THIS time we took a full minute to negotiate 4 flights of stairs that were void of any other students. I was watching the time draining from my watch. Talking to them didn't seem to work at all.

Come on, we had APOLOGIZED to Ms Then before. We said we'll be on time next time. We weren't. We aren't. we probably never will be. All we can do in minimize the damage. Maybe I overreacted, maybe I'm still under the traumatic shadow of St. John

But after the class stopped on the top floor to call out to a senior. It was just a few seconds. Insignificant time really. But it was the final straw and I really saw red. Thats when I raised my voice and yelled over the commotion informing them exactly of the time we were late for. I didn't lose my temper mind, but I was really severely irritated already.

I mean, its normal that we are late. Any person who knows me knows that I do not like to scold others, nor to nag at people. In fact I haven't really done so for the past 5 months. But sometimes theres a limit. Like when your promise is on the line. Whatever

I really hate being Chem rep on thursday anyway.

Anyway thanks dory for talking and risking Ms Tan's wrath during maths.

Yup. Thats it for now i think....
