3 down, 1 to go!

What i meant is my semester exam papers. Hahahahha! So far, the papers are quite manageable, i think i can pass for these 3 papers. But for the last paper, which is computer programming, it will be quite difficult for me, the paper knows me, but i dont know it. Gonna start revising tmr le, do all the past yr papers. Chiong!

I am looking for job to work during my holiday, dont wanna waste my time slacking at home. Applied for NUM twice, but they didnt contact me yet, heard from frens, they took afew weeks or months to contact the applicant. Hopefully can find a job that i like.

Its kinda sad that i drop my hobby, flying rc planes. Many of my frens asked me why i leave this hobby. The reason is, i got no time for it. Most of the time were spent during training, once i got back home, sometimes i was so tired that i dun felt like going out again. I still love flying though, i am sure i will get back to flying onces again, once my adrenaline rush for flying rc is back. For the past few week or rather a month, i had sold almost all my planes and stuffs. My Beloved AngelS was sold to a nice german, was sad to let it go, but think twice again, i am not flying it anymore, so why not just sell it. It has been together with me for about a yr, and i treated it like my baby/wife/gf. Hahhahaha... Now that, almost everything had gone, left transmitter, chargers and many tools and misc items, my dad is happy that i sold them away. He do support me in flying rc, but didnt likes me to fly big planes, as it may cause huge incident, eg: crashed into car, ppl etc. Right now, i am planning to build one plane from foam. If i do have the time, i will go down to PFW and fly with my buddies.

WoW! Its gonna 1am already, tmr i still got training at seletar reservoir at 7.30am. I better zhao and slp early. Good Night!

I AM STILL PERSEVERING! BELIEVE IN ME!

Ytd race was jus great! The atmosphere there was very different from training. Theres total of 25 teams participating in this AustCham 10km race. We had our start off point at no.1, which is not a gd starting point. The best starting point are in the middle pack. Onces the horn sound off, all the 25 boats charged up. The middle pack was the fastest to charged up, they were like ahead of us 1-2 boats length, and soon further and further away. I maintain our technics, and we passed RP at about the 1KM part. Water is quite rough, as theres many boats beside and up infront of us, we are getting the back wash of the water from other boats. Soon, we broke away from the chase pack and had left us, NUS alumni, and SIM boats on par. We took turns to take the lead among the 3 boats. LoL! Theres once when SIM boat was so damn close to our boat, few of my teammates including me whacked the SIM rower's paddle a few times, then they split from us. I dunno why SIM got lots of problems, They clash with NUS alumni boats, and lost their glide of the boat, we overtook them and the NUS alumni boat. But they manage to chase up to us again. At the returning path, SIM onces again almost clash towards a speed boat, tat was really funny, but i couldnt laugh. lol!! We continued and about to turn to the last stretch to the finish line, we were been banged by NUS alumni boat by the back, and we were off steered, our steerer was our coach Patrick, he manage to steer it back, but did a big round one. But still we are leading ahead of these 2 teams. Ahead of us was the german dragon team, if we didnt got banged by the other boat, we can catch up with the german dragon boat. Our last stretch was the best, i love tat feeling. We broke away from NUS alumni and SIM and left them far behind. We charged to the finish line, got a 15th position out of 25. I hope to be better, but we did our best already. And im happy with the results of it. Next race is gonna be SAVA SPRINTS, gonna train extremely hard to clock patrick's timing for junior team. Lets do it!

AustCham NYP Team!

CHIONG! CHARGE!

Today i went back to sch to study with my frens. Shi Ting was early, she was there waiting for us already. LoL! And i was the 2nd one to reach. I was hungry, so we went down to north canteen to have our lunch, only me and shi ting ate, rest drank soft drinks only. I ate quite alot during lunch time, ate one egg prata, plain prate, muachee, popiah, and tutu kueh and a banana milk drink. wahahahha! Was freaking full after tat. We went back to library to study, studies till about 2.45pm, i went off as i got training at 3.30pm. Anthony was kind to send me to the bus stop outside nyp. Thanks dude! I didnt drive to seletar reservoir becoz if i drive there, i got to pay for parking, so ya i didnt. While waiting for bus, i met ronald,tong sheng, zaw and qin mei. They took the same bus as me, and off we go for training. Damn disappointed with myself today. As usual, we row few rounds for warm-up. Then we went for a 10km row, beginning was fine, only after like 5km, i start to get cui on my left shoulder, but i pulled myself for the entire 10km row. We rowed about 10.2km in 58mins, which i think is gd. After the 10km row, my left shoulder became super cui, i couldnt lift up my shoulder, cant even lift up the paddle fast. So for the entire 2nd half of the rowing, i was super duper suck, timing was off, stroke was more or less wrong, coach kept calling my name telling me to push. But i give in all my best for them. Hais, was jus disappointed with myself, im not gonna be so weak during the race, gonna give all my very best 110% for the race. COME ON LOUIS! LETS PUSH AH! LAI AH! PUSH AH! LAI AH! PUSH AH! If you can be beside me, it will be even better. :)

Rest time for me. More creatine! More bananas! Wahahhaha!

First day of study break. I did study today!! Studied computer programming EG1005, did 1 paper already, now finishing another past yr paper. Must work hard, dun wanna reatake module for next semester. Had been waiting for her msg, but didnt came, gonna persevere! YEAH!

Ytd i brought home my racing weapons, which is my racing paddle, my life vest and lastly my butt pat. For those who wonder what paddle im using, yea this is the one im using all the while, a grey owl paddle. Life vest is a must for every rowing session, as its a rule now. Butt pat is important to me, i need it to prevent my butt from getting blue-blacks. But even with the butt pat, i still get pains on my butt while rowing. A butt pat is a must for 10km race. hahaha! took some photos of my paddle and life vest, sadly no pic of my butt pat (forgotten to take), and me wear the them! Heheees!

I Know I Can Do It!
Thinking Of Her Smile Every Moment!

This week was a happy week for me. Well, i got to know a special gal i met. Her smile motivates me lots, with tat i can do much better in sports and studies. Now im getting to know her more. Jia you leh Louis!

Its exactly a week before my competition, AustCham 10km race at marina reservoir. Had been training extra hard nowadays. Today theres no training due to some event at seletar reservoir, so me and dennis decided to go self-training at hougang sports hall. The locker was 40cents, but i used 80cents to the locker. Coz i didnt take out my towel, and the gym in-charge asked me to take it out, so no choice gonna use another 40cents, wasted sia. Alot of ppl were in the gym, many were doing weights. I did chest and shoulder excercises, den after we went out for running around hougang mall, we ran 2 rounds, got at least 4km. After our self-training, we went mall to have our lunch, i bought a XXL chicken which i had been craving for long. Dennis wanted to eat subway, so i join him. Ya and now blogging this liao loh. Later going my aunt new house at woodlands there, will be my first time, excited mannx!

Blogger got prob again! ArgGhH!

AustCham Here i Come!
I love ur smile!

A great outing to Pulau Ubin with my fellow DragonBoat teammates and seniors.

Woke up at 6am, washed up and bathe, and left to bus stop to meet up with cheng wei at 7.15am. On the bus, we met minthu one of our teammate too. haha.. The bus ride to changi village was super duper long. And i was so sleepy, i slept for the whole journey with my music on. We reached changi village at ard 8.25am, 5mins earlier. hahaha. Heng didnt late, anyway if we are late, nth will happen. Becoz all of them are having breakfast over there first before setting off to pulau ubin. Feeling hungry so i ate 3 curry puffs and a prata. At about 10.30am, we set of to pulau ubin via small ferry which only can take maximum 12 person. All of us got into 4 ferries, as we got over 40ppl. Ferry ride was roughly less den 10mins ride, super noisy and the smell of the exhaust stings mannx. Onces i land my foot on palau ubin, i felt tat im on foregin land, feeling is so much different, although it still consider as part of Singapore. Head to the bicycle stall and rented bikes. Theres so many bicycle stall and seafood restaurant, dunno which to choose, so we just choose the one nearest to us. hahaha.. I took a $8 GT bike, most of them took $5 bike, forgotten to take a photo of my bike. lol.. We den set off for my cycling, at first we were all together, den in the end, we were separated into 3 groups. My group went to chek gava wetland, but we didnt go in. Many slope and rocky ways, 3 ppl fell, including me while riding down a steep slope. I was not riding on a slope, but i was doing a 'superman' kind of position till i lost balance and fell forward to the ground. Got my right arm blue-black, like someone had caned me like tat. One of my fren was seriously injured, his both arms, palms, fists, legs were all cut by small rocks on the rocky surfaces. Another was still alright, only one or two wounds on the knee. Well, Take care bros! We cycled till 1+pm and went back to return the bikes and went to ubin first stop restaurant to have our lunch. I ate alot, ate 5 bowls of rice and lots of other side dishes. Delicious! The awesome thingy is that, lime juice is free flow, as well as rice. hahahha! For $13, its worth it.
Went back home after lunch, and slept on bus again on the way home.
Great Team Bonding! Looking forward to another outing!

Today was our last presentation for this semester for communications skills, so i decided to wear alittle nicer den previous. Took many photos during and after our presentation, awesome, we even took a class photo with our teacher. Beauty! Yeah and our last presentation was about our dressing for presentation, theres lots of things to say for jus mens alone. I present about cuff links and sleeves, as im the only one wearing cuff links in class. Kekekke! Communications skills is one of my favourite class, our teacher mrs benita fong is good! Hopefully i didnt spell her name wrongly wahhahah! Oh ya, i brought my dad's LV bag to school, jus for this presentation. Nice right?!
After our lesson end, we went to had our lunch, i ate ramily burger. My sch brought in ramily burger stall, so felt like eating, so bought one. Rest of my fren ate gecko, a western stall. After tat, we decided to try out the new stall called 'lok lok dip' located jus beside Mac, splash&decker and gecko. Bought one stick of meat balls for $1.10, jus wanna taste how it taste like, not too bad for the first timer. Will definitely buy again next time as finger food. Then after, it was maths lesson, as usual, i will buy pocky to class and eat, without something to munch, i will feel sleepy. During lessons, we went through exam questions and class test questions. Exam is getting nearer and nearer, gonna work hard to get good grades. GOGOGO!
