food for thought;i read zhi ler's blog for the first time ever,
scrolled down to a post about having a life and it was incredibly true.
something along the lines of how ironic it is that some people play like crazy all day long (who mock other people for having no life while mugging like siao) are instead the ones that're wasting theirs away, and how everyone's got their own definitions of what life should be like.
i mean, yea,
is there anything wrong with thinking that getting a decent education is a meaningful use of your life?
really made me think again about judging others and stuff,
because i know friends who're really really hardworking academically (not just in NJ la) but i've never really thought about it that way.
that they really might be mature and responsible enough to give up their privileges,
like going out with friends more often and all that just to secure their grades and put in that extra few hours of work.
maybe its just the fact that i can't really study when i'm surrounded with other people that're that hardworking,
hahaa it's one of the things that i considered before even coming to NJ ._.
whether or not i'd even be suited to studying in such a pressurizing environment.
cos i'm the type that needs to own people before getting my head in the books,
as in i hate climbing up from the bottom to get my As.
i'd much rather own from the beginning and score relatively consistently all the way till the end,
not like how i'm struggling to get like just an average C for my subs.
and to those people who're from diff JCs,
please don't say "ohhh nvm laa, NJ's standard is different, too high. "
hahaa yea that's correct to a certain extent la, but wtf we're all still taking the A levels rite?
it can't be THAT easy to get 4 As in other JCs, its still A level curriculum.
(and dun tell me that a U in NJ chemistry translates to an A or a B in other JCs.
im pretty sure my chem sucks balls big time, LOL.)
from the beginning of J1 i already felt weird and kinda foreign being in NJ, especially when i didn't really like certain parts of the culture.
but then again, lookin back more than a year ahead i've pretty much come to terms with it that if God put me in NJ it would've been for a hell of a good reason,
and that's more than enough for me to welcome His decision with open arms.
winning team champions for nationals this year was one of those reasons(:
swim/run/gym ftw.

since i took 10 days for this post, it should take 12 days for the next one considering i posted the old post 8 days after it's predecessor.
(if you bothered to really go read this and figure it out then WHEEE you're incredibly bored i must say ._.)
wow, i think for the past week life's been pretty nice.
at least i dun feel as tired for some reason, even though im sleeping around the same number of hours a night;
but life for me after school's pretty much either
1. going down to the range to coach the J1s,
2. going gym/running/swim + mug
3. plain old mug and laze around
isnt this an incredibly boring post?!
even i think so, LOL.
oh yeaa, i explored hostel today after school!
its quite nice actually eh, seriously speaking. other than the fact that people like yangsheng steal food like mad and that there isnt a piano there for free use (still nid to book slots somemore) its quite good overall.
the ambience feels pretty nice?
that weird bench-water feature-thingy near the laundry room should look cool at nite with yellowish soft lighting mannn.
great for laxing mode(:
(so this is what our school budget spent its money on. black marble-ish water features. -.-)
its pretty nice that the environment's pretty slated for pure mugging and laxing, considering that your room's like that small and all you can do there is pretty much walk around/mug.
and the downsides;
there isn't really freedom per se.
it's not like you can walk out as and when you like and return at like 2 in the morning or something if you wanted to. well not that i WANT to do somethin like that, but its the fact that you can't even if you wanted.
there's not that many peeps in the J2 level that're rooming, man if like majority of the cohort roomed it'd be frrrrigggin FUNN!
(not that it'll ever happen unless the singaporean hostel peeps go mad and wage a war against the vietnamese/PRC/indo/thai/indian/malaysian scholars and kill SP and Cheng at the same time.)
hahaa i wouldn't really mind rooming with ys, at least life'll be more fun yo ;D
andand, being random,
i B-ed my GP twice :D
in your face, mary lim!
my bio notes are callinggggg.

lazy to update again;hahaa i think i've lost the meaning of my life after nationals passed ._.
cos it's like for the past 1 year plus everyday (or every other day) after school = chiong straight down to the range to train,
so when the need to stop training comes its quite jarring.
like i feel lost and abit itchy to train :D
(my suit's just lying there.....)
its dumb to continue, but as much as i wanna coach the J1s i really wanna continue training!
dammit.
lemme hit 580 first pls!
so yea.
i've been lounging around school everyday after lessons in the range teaching the J1s, either that or back home quite early to rest and start my homework.
what an excess of free time ._.
hahaa i think every other sport that hasn't ended nationals sure would like that.
and i've got no idea what to blog right now, for some reason my mind's kinda empty;
maybe its cos i've just gymmed an hour ago and i'm feeling abit hungryyyyy.
MAKAN

nationals '09. 
sexayy, A div air rifle men's challenge trophy
zonal team gold, nationals team gold
individual 1st 2nd 3rd!
sooo, here comes my post about ponning 4 days of school for nationals.
(abit leceh to say eh, i can't really rmb what happened other than the significant stuff)
went to school on monday and trained after school, still shot quite ok and packed up my things for nationals to start tml;
we still haven't decided on the 3rd shooter even on one day before the comp cos both me and akshay were shooting around the same score (so we chose to decide on the day itself)
and HENNGG akshay was feeling pretty great that morning!
HAHA.
even though i din shoot i'm incredibly proud of him yo, individual 2nd ;D
hmm, it would've felt great to shoot for the last time and win team gold ._.
hahaa just that i'm not sure we would've confirm swept all 3 individual positions, no idea if i'dve been able to shoot 580 on that day..
haii, the what ifs.
but nvm, rifleboys still did great!
the B div rifleboys shot great for their first ever competition, not including taro who did ok too ;D
on the 2nd day the pistolboys shot, mark and zhongyi crashed quite badly so they just missed out on top 4 :/
this year's A div rifleboys top 4 results were incredibly guailan, cos the champs din shoot a really good score (like none of them won individual which is rare for a gold team); they just shot a safe score.
its alrite pistolboys, still got next year to win it back(:
thrash MJ and every other school in '10!
and given how little time zhongyi had to train it's amazing how he shot with 2 months plus of training time.
3rd day:
the A div riflegirls day to shoot, carol thought she crashed until 387 but ended up with 392!
niiiiice.
congrats to riflegirls, nationals team 3rd!
4th day:
B div girls shot, and was kinda convenient to watch cos batok girls were shooting next to NJ o.O
NJ girls did great for their first time, and wenying shot ok too; 380!
prize presentation after that, and omg la west spring girls scream like siao.
hahaa we sang inilah (practically shouted it) and cheered like mad for our shooters who won stuff, and man it felt friggin awesome to be part of NJ shooting right there(:
went back to NJ for club photo and off to plaza sing for dinner with riflegirls, pistolboys and the seniors (zhongxian jiapei hanson julie chor kee etc etc), din join the guys for LAN cos i was broke ._.
and that pretty much ends my whole week;
its back to school -.-
NJCSC is sexayyyyyyy(:
