Took IPPT at Maju Camp this morning. I believe this is only the 7th time I've passed it in my lifetime and only the third time I've attained a silver standard ( Read more... )

It has been a long and tough week of racing. Inter-Faculty Games was held on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, while the Asean University Games trials was swum tonight. In total, I did 10 different swimming events over the past few days. I'm unhappy with how pathetic my freestyle is, but my backstroke was pretty encouraging. Still, I was unable to ( Read more... )

I thought I'd actually give swimming non-stop for 3 hours a go at Splashdown today. But when I saw Lim Zhi Cong there, I was like... fuck it. Zhi Cong is a national swimmer that is due to compete at the Asian Games this year. Obviously, there goes the possibility of winning the MP3 goggles 1st prize ( Read more... )

I'll be attempting the mass swim event at NUS tomorrow. Up for grabs for the swimmer with the most number of laps, among other things, is the MP3 goggles by Finis! But I've got to bust my ass to win that one. The event is 3 hrs long, which means I have to swim an obscene number of laps. The thing is, it isn't normal swimming, as there are two ( Read more... )

I'm feeling quite screwed. Assignments are already beginning to pile up at this point of the semester. I know some people probably haven't even started on any work, yet I'm actually feeling the stress after only 3 weeks of school. And its all about writing. Write write write write write. I've never written so much shit in such a short period of ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the first training session for the swim team. I still have no intention to do IVP again this year, but I went down for training anyway. What choice do I have when my roomie is the vice-cap of the team. Not many newbies turned up. For that matter, not many anyone turned up. Just the same few of us. There was this exchange student from ( Read more... )

So school term has finally started. 3 months of break was really too long. I've just managed to successfully bid for a 6th module this semester. My timetable just seemed too empty if I had gone with the normal 5 instead. This semester is going to be real fun and challenging ( Read more... )

I had a bad dream about a friend last night. After waking up from the nightmare, another friend gave me a call and told me that just like in my dream, our friend had drowned. Then I woke up from the nightmare.

Damn it. The trip to Penang for the 3rd DHL National Life Saving Sports Challenge has been cancelled. TP is withdrawing from competition totally because the principal deems it too low level a meet to be participating in. Apparently, TP sweeping 9 gold medals last year and winning overall men's champion is an indication that the competition is lousy ( Read more... )

I just packed two boxes of aircraft parts for shipment. Weighing a total of 35kg, I had US$235,290 worth of goods in my hands. I can't believe those few items are able to buy me a HDB flat or two.
