Guilty, busy, tired, losing my hope in life...

Have been very busy in the past few weeks or months that i didn't manage to blog that often anymore. The recent Blogging problem has been getting onto my nerves, i suspect that it is same virus. But yet again, it is so potent that it somehow spread to the whole class (haha, perfect excuse to forgo weekly blogging assignments for a while). However, Mr Ong is as "clever" as us that he forced us to print out the entries and pass them to him instead. Hope that you guys do not get the same problem too.

Guilty that i have not been chatting about scrabble lately. Serious tight schedule disallow my trips to JGCC for a game or 2. It was like ages since I have talked to my Shifu. I dont think i should slack anymore. With the 10th Singapore Open scrabble championships on the list, i cant afford to slack liao. This event will be held in Teck Ghee CC on 26&27 May2007.
The COLLINS dictionary is indeed a hard nut to crack. Surpassing english rules and other craps, I would say that this new dictionary is indeed crappy. But at the end of the day, i am still going to know the words i resist to acknowledge.

I wonder what is my scrabble status right now:
-Okay, 13th position in Singapore rating system
-With a rating of1799(omg, one more point!)
-Peak rating: 1824
-Managed to clinch my National Master title b4 i started sliding
-Average score :403.82
-Started playing since 15FEB2004

Stagnation begins and never seems to stop. I hope it will be soon...


Have been working through tutorials night after nights and it dont seem to stop. I dont think it will ever stop, not until A levels is done. I have dropped by Athur's blog lately and was staring hard at his 21/30 achievement in his bio test (why cant i get that kind of score???). Before I knew it, I am already starting to curse the AJ's testing system. However, I think i really havent been studying hard lately. The only test that made me proud was the first Bio test whereby I passed (2/3 of the cohort failed lo). With a humble score of 19+4/40, I sweared that i would get an A next time. Ironically, the next bio test is on next tuesday and i havent really been preparing for it.

I like my CCA. Everybody gave me that stunned look when i mention what my CCA is. Now you are going to react the same too. My CCA is---- WUSHU. Unbelievably, I have taken a liking towards WUSHU as the people are extremely interesting and friendly. We have enjoyable chats during the otherwise dull stretches. We encouraged each other during our own trainings.
I am now learning the spear. Haha, with a relatively thin wooden stick beside me, there is no doubt some people might think that I am dancing some pole dance. This is indeed "pole dance", with a slight difficulty doing it. The sucky part of learning spear is that it is one of the 2 most hated event in the competition. Due to its complexity in strokes, it is one weapon that even a wushu exponent would shun. I have developed same blisters and BAk LU GUs on my forearm and leg bone. Instead of bringing talcum powder for trainings, i think i would better bring more plasters next time.
I really hope to learn more things in the future so that I can defend myself against touchy secondary classmates when i encounter them (rapists and paedophiles are on the loose lately too:)).
