I'm quite happy with my results. Thanks everyone who helped me with my econs, all the way up to the last hour on the day itself!

Finally I have decided to lock down everything (well, almost) in this journal to friends-only, in view of me joining the army soon, prospective employers googling to find my stuff, the rise of global terrorism and other unwelcome visitors. If you're Shuyuan or somebody I know without an LJ account, please create one. Comment here if you want me to ( Read more... )

Sometimes, when I have a quiet moment alone in the bus stop or on the bus, I think about how small our little island is. How despite the technology that lets us read about and even see in full colour glory all the news out there, we absorb and digest information in compact soundbites or textbites and file it away neatly in some corner of our brain ( Read more... )

Today I attempted to run 21.1km for the first time in my life. Before this the longest run I've done was a bit above 17km so this is, naturally, a stretch. I assumed another 4km wouldn't make much of a difference but Murphy's Law returned to kick me. So if you are thinking of doing a half marathon anytime soon, do your long runs and don't be lazy.

After See^2 I slacked a bit and then the following day ran to the SALT centre gym, where happily I managed a deadlift PR of 85kg. On Saturday we had lunch with Edmund Teo (who now has a shaved head like any random recruit even though he has the rank of Captain, and teaches at Temasek Poly). Also, to my horror, I woke up with a sore throat and ( Read more... )

It's been an uber tiring 3 days (I'm not quite sure why, given my lack of physical activity - I also lost weight because of not eating/exercising enough). Must be the huge energy I spent keeping mentally focused for long stretches of time, forcing myself to keep awake during ceremonies and talking a lot (I talked almost continuously for 2 hours on ( Read more... )

So far the holiday is still fun. I hope to keep my spending under control for the rest of the holidays since my spending for these few days is very scary ( Read more... )

I feel so free. Unfortunately, freedom isn't free, as I found out when I spent $8.90 at Pepper Lunch Express at Lot 1 CCK with Shuyuan, Adeline and Jia Da ( Read more... )

Countdown to Tuesday, I can almost smell the burning notes :D ( Read more... )

The bulk of the A level papers are over except for chem and physics MCQ. So finally I can heave a sigh of relief and go on to slack a bit. Not much point worrying about the papers that are over but frankly I'm not super confident of econs. It seems that for most of the questions everyone has a different way of answering, including the case study ( Read more... )
