I wake up tired, go through the motions of the day, barely registering mentally the ever mounting backlog of work, return to my room exhausted, and the cycle repeats itself all over again.

Missing you guys
Really missing you guys... =(
Even though my schedule is packed, my days are filled and my time is spent completely.
My heart is empty.
Miss my loved ones, miss my friends in this self-imposed exile towards the countdown of the examinations....
I go to class seeing the same people everyday in tutorial, at lectures, at training sessions.
But I don't miss them.
I miss u guys...
Really miserable...

Lonely
When they said it's lonely at the top, it's true.
I felt really lonely today. As the Assistant Chief GL for next year's camp, preparations are already underway.
Though the group that i spoke to were my friends, they were all from my group and school, but when I went into to room, I felt no connections, no pleasantries.
I felt that there was this barrier setup between me and them. Though I may be their superior in this particular situation/camp. But they're still my friends isn't it? However when I went into the room, it was like I wasn't a friend to them anymore.
I went in, delivered my instructions and expectations, answered their questions. And that was that. No more friends. They left. I left.
Whilst we all started out together, in a same group. Now I am their leader, and I am no longer felt as one of "them".
It's really a lonely feeling...

Feeling empty
I feel really empty inside after rejecting the minor offer.
It's like I picked up a $100-bill and decided to throw it away.

Minor Withdrawal
20 Sigh, after a long interview session that I thought was a goner, I actually was awarded the much-sought after minor programme! That came as a surprise, I personally felt that the selection and interview process didn’t go well at all and here I end up getting selected.
Anyways, with much disappointment, I have decided to scrap the minor due to unforeseen academic commitments, I am most likely unable to commit for this minor during the stipulated period of December 2008 and looking at my calendar, looks like I am forced to withdraw.
I must be crazy, with an already insane workload of 23AUs this semester, I actually applied for a minor to be overloaded over the short 1 month holidays? It comprises of 16AUs though, it would have really be nice if I could go for this really popular program, and I must have been very lucky to have been selected. Am I pushing my luck too far to withdraw now?

SKILLZ that Pay the Bills
I have an interesting video to share:
To all you soccer fans out there! Watch this video and you'll be amazed. These moves are REAL, and they're done by a relatively well-known martial arts group in the community, team Ryouko in California. Hired by EA (Yes! Electronic Arts Games) for their new upcoming game FIFA Street 3.
Then I had a meeting for canvassing for a camp next year.
It was rather irritating, the head Bizmag didn't seem to be know what he was doing and wasn't confident of himself at all, and his 2nd- in charge was a little 19-girl with a motor-mouth. Between both of them, it was all talk and nothing done, and it was very irritating. Not to mention the unprofessional way they were demanding things to be done.
I can tolerate with the way he was doing things until he declared that he had sent out the MAIN COMM's contact office-bearer list to survey companies for canvassing.
WTF???
That list is confidential! You don't just send it out because you're desperate. WTF? Now my group will be harassed in fear by companies who harvest contact information. I was very very irritated, that was an extremely immoral and unprofessional way of doing things, sending out the list and then informing us later is really a very stupid thing to do.
You are supposed to keep it confidential for your own reference and persual as you are the chief.
You don't just send out your company's EXCO contact list to others if you are the CEO right?
Since you can send out our confidential information with ease I will put your stupid dumbshit name on my blog Mr Siew Ye Wee.
Stupid dumbshit...

F1 Fever
So now that the F1 fever is over, we can sit back and relax a little bit thinking over the events that zoomed by right at F1 speed. Well, we can start with F. Massa's suay-ness, he's just really unlucky that's all. From a very good first position and leading pace, the screw up at the pits pushed him all the way to the last.
It's really all because of the person gave the green go light. But Massa is really a commendable sportsman, he was calm, and didn't curse and swear or blame anyone at all, whereas Lewis would have blown his top.
You could see the Ferrari crew being all professional, completing the tyre changes in seconds, but they were stressed because Kimi Raikkonen was right behind Massa in the pits waiting to be attended to, because of this, the crew probably rushed through the procedure and screwed up as the 2nd group was waiting to attend to Kimi. The team manager should have called Raikkonen to go one more lap, what a screwed up planning that was, or else those precious seconds wouldn't have been wasted.
Kimi Raikkonen is another one, he crashed out 5 laps from the finish at 5th position to DNF. What a lousy race for the Ferrari team. For all the talk and glory, Lewis only finished 3rd, apparently the tight curves and turns of Singapore's circuit proved challenging for Lewis, whose personal style is hard-paced high-speed straight-road driving, not hairpin turns in Singapore's circuit.
Actually after Michael Schumacher, all the other F1 drivers seemed rather boring, no more reckless overtaking and skilful hair-pin turns. Even though Alonso won first, he's style was steadiness and slowly overtaking other cars at each opportunity, no reckless or aggressive driving like Hamilton.
F1 machines are just incredible, with all that money poured into it, each F1 engine is only 2 litres (down from 2.4L), naturally-aspirated with no Turbo! Yet this simple engine churns out almost a thousand horsepower with a top speed of up to 360km/h! The stress on the engine is evident though, for all it's titanium parts, each engine can only last 2 races.
Singapore still has the right to host another 4 more races over the next four years! With the completion of the IR, and new roads being reviewed, the future races are going to be just as interesting.

Some amazing skills people have
I came across some amazing videos of some amazing skills people have. Take this guy for instance, just using photoshop, he painted all these pictures from scratch, and they look photo-realistic! Take your time to view them, each photo each definitely over an hour's worth of work. All compressed into that several minutes.
If only I had this kind of photoshop skill!

Major CA papers
Today is the day of the dreaded two high-weightage CAs. Hmm, I think I did quite okay I think for the bio paper though, I remember most of the important points only to realize that my best friend Mr. Carelessness had paid a visit again. I made a simple careless mistake, but that should be okay for now, it's much better than the maths test disaster.
Okay, so the bio paper is over, and I didn't make a mess out of it, but at least the physics test wasn't as hard as the trial quiz we had. This was easier, and I could actually do most of the questions.
However overall I think I performed below the general average, there are so many clever people in my course, and if the results follow the damn bell curve, then I am performing below average on the population standard deviation. All the scholars in my course seem to get results effortlessly!
Here I am working my butt off yet reaping results inconsistent to my efforts.
I am outclassed... But never mind...
Back to study..

One day before the 2 tests
Alot of people didn't turn up for lessons today because of the Bio and physics tests tomorrow! It's the last lap, tomorrow is the BIO and Physics tests.
I feel that I haven't studied or prepared enough, I am just so tired...
