Camps, Camps, Camps

The start of 6 days' worth of consecutive camp days. SPAVC camp followed by SP JCC camp straightaway after that. What could be more tiring or taxing. Sigh Audrey, I dunno what possessed me to let you psycho me into joining JCC =) Ah never mind...I'm sure we'll have fun at the camp and I'll make some new friends. First things first though and I have to make sure the SPAVC camp runs smoothly on my side so that no one shall doubt my abilities. I think it's about time I showed myself to be more than able to handle such a task.

At least some proper R&R is in order after Camp Hell Week. LOTR concert!

Such a day...

Actually, if you listen to James Blunt's songs very closely and pay attention, they're really quite emo in a way. That is of course you're feeling kind of depressed that day and you want some sort of company on your emo bus journey home. Oh the humanity of it all.


Hmm....


Well Yiming's plane is taking a super long time to build. I have just finished constructing the cockpit and now I'm on to fitting the wings and main body on, plus a few little sundry items on the side. Suddenly it's all so complicated and very intricate, but by no means exhausting or mundane to construct. Hope to finish it in a reasonable time or it'll be kind of sucky to like, hand someone a birthday gift a coupla weeks after. Nah.

Not been able to go out these few weeks partly due to my inadequate planning and partly also due to the stresses tasked to my group for FYP. It's seriously mind numbing. That plus so much work from school and the stress from the upcoming MST is giving me that pressure-cooker syndrome so prevalent in secondary school, pre-O Levels. But no matter. This time it shall be overcome. Like all other times. Ehh...

LOTR concert and 2 camps coming up! I can't wait. For them to end. Not really. I'm pretty much looking forward to all 3 happening, especially the LOTR one. The first time I forked out so much money to watch that. Thanks to Audrey of course. Partly it was because of her urging that I paid that stratospheric sum for a ticket. Couldn't blame her though, those were the unsold ones, the cheap ones were all gone...

Hmm...

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
Makes her body older than it really is
And she says it's high time she went away
No ones got much to say in this town
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down

As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
For the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

I think that it is true. For a long time I never believed it, because I was blinded to everything but the most poignant and painful. But I have seen it and I believe now. It is here and it has shown me The Way.

Please let it be.

Final Theory Test....PASSED!

I was on Youtube watching Simon Cowell puke his guts out at rubbish contestants on Britain's Got Talent while mostly everyone else was studying. I fell asleep for 2 minutes during the test. I never studied a single page of the booklet....

But....


I PASSED!!! WHOOP DEE DO!

Cadillac CTS-V round Nurburgring

One more Nurburgring record for the books and this time its courtesy of the Cadillac CTS-V. Driven by driver John Heinricy it managed to break the 8 min barrier in a time of 7m 59.32s around the Nordschleife of the Nurburgring. Impressive for an American brand which had a reputation for barge-like cars with equally sloshy handling, but even more impressive when you factor in the fact that the car - besides a fire suppression system, harness bar and six-point seatbelt - the CTS-V was completely stock. Which says much about the type of tire fitted to the CTS-V and the enormous 6.2l V8 under the bonnet which produces 550bhp and 550lb ft of torque. Most of all, it's testimony to the tremendous amount of effort GM's engineers have put into this car to put it in contention with the likes of Mercedes' AMG and BMW's M Division.

Bring on the Germans.

Lotsa

Certain sign that someone is suffering from the irrecoverable effects of stress: he starts listening to phantom Jay Chou songs on his Winamp.

Normal programming has been resumed.


It has been so busy these past few weeks that even with my mobile modem to be able to access the Net anywhere, I just don't have the inclination to do any sort of writing after I'm done with my project stuff. But for you loyal readers out there (which I know I do have quite a few) I do humbly beg your kind understanding and forgiveness for leaving you without juicy updates from my world for the past few weeks.

BMTC visit tomorrow! Now there's an interesting tidbit. Due to some anal directive by the Education Ministry to make sure poly students have all the exposure they need to prepare them for army (and apparently JC students have all gone through National Service already. Naturally...), we have been selected to go to BMTC Pulau Tekong for some pre-Freshmen Orientation. No files or free ice cream to be handed out but you can be damn sure there'll be free mosquito bites and bundled broken ankles. Thanks to this completely pointless and frankly utter time-waster, our debate preparation - another source of my constant misery now - will have to be pushed to Saturday.

School's just fantasstic sometimes. Asstic. Fan-ass-tic.

It's too easy

It's all too easy to compliment, praise, flatter someone's work. But it's also another really easy deal to simply brush his work off and dismiss it as the irresponsible and perhaps even mindless chatter of a wandering mind.

So tell me, is it?

......

Stressed.

Pissed.

Stressed.

Fucked up.

Doubly fucked up.

Annoyed.

Agitated.

Desperate.

Irritable.
