gym

mm was walking to school from wetherby yesterday morning and got inspired to blog.. but i never got down to it so that's why i'm doing it now. yup haha anyway just wanted to say that yesterday was like one of the first few times that i felt as if i was actually going to school. as in going somewhere where everyone's studying together.. i was walking thru falmouth gate then i realised that there were like loads of other pple walking together with me. haha it's been a long time since i had that.. like last time it would be a whole bunch of RG girls walking in together from the bus stop or lots of RJ students walking together from Bishan MRT. but it's been awhile since i had that over here. i think it's got to do with the time.. friday was one of the first few times i was actually early to go to school =p the rest of the time it's quite late liao so not many students around.. location's probably the other reason. last year i stayed at linstead, this year at montrose. these two are like on the side of school that is not really populated with students. mm somehow it just feels strange yet nice to know that everyone's kinda like doing the same thing.. all going to school together to learn new stuff. haha i remember i felt this way too at the end of last year when all the linstead chemists walked together to the Great Hall for our exams. that was like probably one of the only times where we actually "bonded" (thru testing each other & revising on the way to school) and recognised that "hey so you're a linstead chemist too".

haha ok so that was quite random. mm the internet at my house is down so i haven't been home for quite awhile.. anyway just wanted to say that i've kinda found a new hobby. walking. haha seriously. i dunno is it coz i've been doing it so often but nowadays when i walk from home to school or to wetherby and back again time just seems to pass quite fast. ok i do check my watch and i realise that i still take like 18 mins to get to wetherby from home (which is quite slow) but somehow i dun seem to find it far anymore.. think i'm just used to it. and the weather helps as well. i dun sweat so yah walking is quite bearable.. and i just found out smth using google map. the distance from montrose to wetherby is about 1.6km. which means everyday if i walk there and back that's like 3.2km which is quite a distance isn't it? ok not -that- much but at least it means like an extra 3.2km of exercise =p

forgot to mention smth. haha that i've been going to the gym more often now =D i guess mainly to lose weight (or at least maintain) and hmm for other personal reasons. someone mentioned before that i ought to be more active. mm anyway it started with kengseng actually. i just somehow told myself that i must go gym.. then on some random tuesday kengseng suddenly said "i'm going gym later wanna come?" haha then yah lorh me and clarice just decided to go. coz otherwise we probably won't ever get moving =p then after i went to gym i happily weighed myself and realised that "shit i really need to go gym more often" =p going gym's not that bad actually. i dunno why i never went there much last year.. i think it's mostly just laziness. coz once i'm there time passes quite fast for me. as in i dun get the "hurry up i wanna get out of here soon" or "ok i have enough of this" feeling. maybe i'm not working hard enough haha but still i think it's a good enough start that i'm actually going down more regularly =p can u believe this year i went to gym more times in one week than i went in a whole year last year? =p haha twice a week at least. made this promise to myself and i hope i'd keep it. no more excuses! even if i have labs i always have time before dinner to go gym. so yup all the best to astee for her plans to keep fit =D

almost done with blogging just got one more thing to say. got back my patricia hunt MO assignment. 80% which isn't too bad i must say. considering that the class average is like 53.5% or smth like that. and 80% would be maybe about top 10-15 in the class? haha but i'm not satisfied. and it's not coz it's not high enough for me or that it's just not astee's standard. but more coz of the reason why i lost the marks. i believe i mentioned before that i'd rather lose marks in an exam due to carelessness than due to dunno-how-to-do. mm which is what happened for this assignment. it was divided into 3 parts. i got almost 100% for the first two (smth like 19/20) but i totally failed the 3rd part. haha quite depressing actually when patricia hunt was going thru the answers then i realised that i totally missed out an entire concept.. which meant that i still haven't fully grasped MO Theory yet. and that's why i wasn't happy. haha dunno is it just me being too harsh on myself. actually i should be thankful i got 80% coz i got totally lost in the lectures & i fell asleep/missed some of them so had to do a lot of self-studying and last minute trying to figure out by myself. well at least i succeeded partially that's good to know. but it could have been better.. haha oh well just gotta work abit harder & practise more i guess. hopefully by the exams i'd have perfected it and can hit the 90% region.. good luck to me =)

that's about it! quite an uneventful week. besides smth that happened on wednesday night which i really really hope will not just be forgotten like that. haha but -shrug- sometimes i guess the things people say are just not meant to be remembered. oh kengseng's birthday was last friday haha had a successful surprise like last year.. thanks to everyone who played a part =) i wonder if we can pull off smth like that again a third time next year =p what jiaxuan said is right.. haha the surprise thing is really not working much anymore. once it's your birthday you'd start suspecting smth.. well at least mine's back home in singapore so it won't be anything much. will be happy enough if pple just remember and wish me happy birthday =) 21st birthday gosh haha don't wanna think about it. alright i think that's all. oh yeah going skiing next friday (14th to 23rd) at the french alps. not really sure if i am excited about it coz i'm quite scared. everyone says it's not hard haha but that doesn't mean that i will be able to learn to ski properly right? plus i'm awfully scared of heights. i was screaming non-stop at poland last year so i really dunno if i'd survive this time.. shan't think too much about it. hopefully can just go there and enjoy myself without worrying about exams as well. to the rest of you enjoy your christmas holidays too! =)
