1 more week...
to recess week!!! hahaha...not that i will be slacking too much during that one wk but it'll be a much deserved and most wanted break! at least i don't have to wake up tat early even i am going sch for watever reasons and can slp in bed longer esp if the weather was as good as this morning's =D...
so anyway it's the end of my busiest week thus far of smu life...nxt wk will be fairly busy too but with the counting down towards recess week, things will look much brighter juz like the marina/city hall area now being illuminated due to F1...haha speaking of which i juz have to mention one of my best experiences thus far...watching the cars zoom past from above at a hotel tonite! =D hahaha...the noise was deafening(much worse than samba practices haha) but it was juz so cooooolllllll to watch the cars drive on the track...ok lah i din get to see the whole track...juz a small portion of it but tat was satisfying enough! =) that totally made my day! not tat my day was bad but juz felt a little tired from the wk's stuff as well as a little emo? hahhaah i seldom feel emo but the feeling juz kinda came...i know that i shldn't have doubts about myself man...juz do my best can liao! =D
Time to sleep! Nitez everyone! =)

Relax
Haha SAMBA MASALA IS SO FUN!!! =D lol...finished learning one song today and the overall atmosphere is so nice...being able to synchronise with one another and play together is like so damn cool...hahaha...of coz still got many more practices to go be4 we can perform outside but i feel it's a really good start for many of us =)...haha...
Hip hop was damn fun too(altho my body's kinda aching now!) hahaha...learnt dance steps to a new song as well as new techniques of hip hop dance...
Sorry guys for pangsehing u all at the last minute but juz din feel very well and so decided to stay at home instead...hope u all can understand =)
I think friday can really be my day of relaxing after a wk's work...hahaha...nothing going on in sch besides the hip hop classes as well as samba masala practices(besides any meetings that haven't been scheduled yet or the one-off make up classes)...a day of fun and laughter and learning skills which i really want to pick up and now finally got the chance to! hahaha =)
Back to talking about lessons of the past week, another got cancelled due to certain unforeseen circumstances = make up class another day...as for the other mods i am taking, they've been alright...at least now i am taking part more in class and there isn't much inhibition anymore whenever i wan to say something...hahaha...tat's something that i am very happy with myself and hopefully i will improve more as the weeks go by...=D
I'll be quite busy tmr...sunday seems quite free for now but with a couple of smses or calls, it may juz be occupied once again (by work or play i'm not sure yet but of coz i'm hoping for the latter hahaha)
And i will still have to do my readings and tutorials for next week during this wkend! At least i cleared some stuff already today but there's quite an amount to handle after all...haha...
While my frens at nus and ntu are having recess week nxt week, mine's coming up onli 2 wks later! hahaha...hopefully can meet up with some of them either nxt wk or during my own recess wk...it's been a very long time since i saw the other 3 kings...hahhaa...not to mention others...at least we still keep in contact thru msn...maybe they might wan to pop by smu and find me one of these days! tsk tsk hahaha =)
School life so far: Busy but fun! =D

Headstart
I'm supposed to be doing my stats tutorial now after saying bye to my frens on msn but alas, i have come here to blog once again...hahaha a different routine from the past few entries onli posted on friday nites...
Update so far...LTB and TWC project presentations turned out quite gd...work remains to be done but at least we have kinda settled on the major stuff... =)
And from these few days, i realise that certain things cannot be rushed the way we might envision them to...preparation work is impt in ensuring tat the project doesn't crumble suddenly due to lack of planning...however the execution itself will be something more daunting and harder to achieve and that of coz has to be taken into consideration while planning ahead...
It's always gd to start off well in something becos it den provides us with that extra motivation to push forward and excel in our tasks =D...however, if it turns out not so gd at first, fret not and instead learn from our mistakes and work on improving as we go along =)...the worst will be to give up entirely which i will never encourage...
Always look on the bright side of life! =D

Week 4
Alright time for another wkend post!
Haha great news! I GOT INTO SAMBA MASALA~~~!!! hahaha...fyi it's a percussion instruments band not dancing...lol...but it's still damn fun and cool! haha...brings me back to the good old days of my drumming lessons...and incidentally i'm doing the snare now so tat's also good practice for the future if i decide to be in a band...lol...now i'm juz tinking of improving fast and learning the songs and den performing! woot hahah...
Hip-hop lesson today was quite alright...sad thing was i went late due to sports fiesta and den left early due to samba masala practice so din manage to really learn that much...haha...felt it was somewhat short but i brought this upon myself so can't be complaining...gonna learn from my frens the extra moves tat i missed out and practise! haha... =)
Now to juz touch on my academic stuff...everything's still alright...i love stats the most! =D hahah...the other mods are manageable and the projects are gradually progressing well (there were some hiccups be4 but slowly we are overcoming those =D)...i am so thankful for having really nice and great groupmates for my diff projs! hahaha...it really helps when everyone's so supportive, efficient and throws out good ideas...and we also know how to have fun! haha juz makes the whole project a lot easier to handle...
And talking to a few frens today, it seems tat we are some of the minority who are still not stressed by sch(tat's according to our theory tat the majority ARE stressed by sch)...hahah still relaxing in some sense...not tat we slack entirely and dun do our work at all but rather, perhaps we take it better in our stride? haha i am not sure but i do know my optimism (and sometimes fatigue/craziness-induced state of highness) certainly helps me and those around me chill out better and not be so stressed up by all the work at hand...at least tat's wat i tink lah...hahaha...
Time to end my entry!

Learning
Sometimes in our lives, we come to a point where we are faced with difficult decisions...
Having to make a choice that might potentially lead to certain unforeseen and negative results...
Well it's tough when this happens but we juz have to learn and move on with whatever decisions we choose to make...
Looking back at the past few days, it somehow seems that i am suddenly brought to experience such problems tat i speak of...well i was acty tinking of only one grave incident until another not-so-serious thought occurred in my mind which is kind of related to another choice i had to make recently...
It's just so tempting to choose the easy way out but i am happy that i did otherwise =) and now even though there is a little tinge of regret inside me, i know that it might be even worse had i not done what i did...
I feel that i am maturing and learning slowly as the days go by...not that i am not mature now haha but like what they always say, learning is a lifelong process... =D
Sometimes, it's normal or even good to be selfish for your own sake but i am someone who doesn't care much for that...of course human nature dictates that everyone will be thinking "Every man for himself" according to the scenarios they are placed in but truthfully, i dun feel that it should always apply, at least not for me...anyway it's not about me sounding noble here but juz sharing my thoughts with everyone who's reading this blog...haha...perhaps when u make a decision, think not onli for yourself but also for those other ppl who might be affected by whatever u finally choose to do...u mught learn something new along the way... =D

Tired
Another weekly update! (I wonder if i will acty keep this up every wk esp during the wkends haha)
3rd wk into school already...still feeling alright amidst everything(haha dun worry) altho the academic stuff is piling up bit by bit...i understand what's gone on so far so tat's a good thing =) but i need to maintain this as the term progresses...meeting up more often with my project groupmates both online and face-to-face juz makes me a tad busier but all of them are really great ppl to work with so no complaints! =D helps to make more frens too! hahaha...there have been times when i have felt really tired during the week but still can manage lah... =D
Din go for softball today due to twc meeting (sianded =( hahaha) but started on my hip hop class! hahah a totally new realm for me -- dancing...but it was great fun! learnt the basics of hip hop and what i can say is tat it's gonna be a smashing 7 more weeks of dance lessons coming up! =D i am really glad that i signed up for this intro course... (well i did it mainly becos some of my frens joined too...lol wat a wise decision)
It's gonna be another busy weekend but not due to work! hahaha going for professors cup(futsal competition) tmr! Wish me luck to perform to my best =D... I certainly dun wan to be going home tat early...den attend vic's bday chalet at nite and maybe even staying over till sunday morning...
Still, i shld find some time to go thru the past wk's work as well as wat's coming up next wk (haha i guess at the end of the day, i'll manage to do some of it but not for everything)
