Feeling Unfit

I can't believe I spent the entire day at home surfing the internet. Hmmm, actually I think I do believe it since that is what I've been doing mostly when i don't have lectures to go to. Jia lat man, my fitness kena thrown out of the window liao. Some more need to train up for IPPT and the hike in LTC II. There's nothing more pai seh than to peng in front of the Boys.

Heh, I found this while I was reading through my old blog entries. This was something I wrote during one of those boring lectures in OCS sometime in 2003. How time flies man.

The road is long,
the path rugged,
the dangers many,
the temptations strong;
But my heart is set,
my goal clear,
my reward great,
and with Jesus, my journey easy.

Exams are coming again

That's right exams are coming again.

23 April - Organic Chem <--- my worst module comes first :*(
25 April - Basics of Political Science
27 April - Nation-Building in Singapore <--- (lol a lame module if you ask me)
30 April - Inorganic Chem
2 May - Physical Chem

And the best part? I still haven't revised ANYTHING yet. Heck, I don't think I have even read through everything yet. At least I can get a one day break in between to cram for the next paper. Haiz, I wonder how some people can just study and study without feeling completely bored out of their minds. I can barely muster a hour studying chemistry before I have to go do something else (like BB stuff ;p) to maintain my sanity.

Speaking of BB stuff, the Year 5 adventure committee just sent me their revised hike planing schedule and their hike recce is on the 21st of April, which is 2 days before my hardest paper. Oh well, maybe it will be a nice break to walk around Lim Chu Kang and visit the cemeteries.

The Year 3s are also "busy" planning for their LTC II. "Busy" in open-inverted commas since sometimes I wonder whether they're really spending time on it. It's so easy to get impatient and frustrated with them when they drag their feet over something that can actually be planned and dusted in a couple of weeks. But that's Year 3s for you I guess, totally lost and usually bochap about a lot of things (especially BB stuff). I always have to remind myself that I can't expect the same standard from them as I expect from the Year 5s (though the Year 5s aren't that great either heh).

On Idealists and Pragmatists

A really excellent post regarding the recent events in Singapore. Do read it, I may come up with some of my own thoughts later.

I have a inorganic and history test tomorrow and I spent the entire afternoon doing BB stuff and the entire night talking about BB stuff. Haiz, I wonder whether I am really wasting my time in NUS studying something that I would most likely not be doing after I graduate.

Often times I think of the amount of time I spent in BB and I wonder why the heck do I devote so much of my life to it. Man do I need to get a life outside of BB.
