Canoeing Aftermath: Day 1
Hey alls...this will be short. 1 star...is sian!! hahaha...got experience liao what. Still...re-learning everything from scratch is good...haha...bleah.
I hate choppy seas. Makes me seasick. But...had fun lah...gee i'm so dead for the expedition...probably will be kayaking in the back of a two-man kayak....never mind lahs. hahaha...what i lack in technique i can make up in power i think....*frowns* anyhow. we challenged a rjc team to kayak polo...we lost of course...but they didn't thrash us the margin they'd like to have to...i played goalie!! But still need to improve a bit...gonna meet them again next week so probably will qie again. hahaha...then...we rode the
Big Splash!! Of course the most extra part was with five of us holding each other and sliding shouting "
O-A-C!" hahaha...sheesh. i'm wasted. cya tom.
~:Dream Theory:~
Hallo ihr...the math test is over at last...*sighs in relief* but but but i'm so gonna drown in homework this weekend!! =/ especially for Chem, much as i like doing it...I have to complete the Halogens tutorial...Electrochemistry homework and get Food Chemistry ready!!! argh! wie grausam...nah nevermind...i'll get it done. =)
I decided. I'm weak. how's doing a maximum of 8 pullups now sound?? it sounds really weak!!! hrmph. and i haven't fully recovered from yesterday's weights....-.- grrr.
Anyway, some
Dream Theory for y'all...about
somatic stimuli...well what is somatic stimuli? The stimuli of dreams caused by internal organs as well as sensory stimuli (sight/smell/taste/touch/hearing)...However, it has been proven that somatic stimuli doesn't ALWAYS cause dreams even though it may...just as it has been proven that a sleeping human can show seemingly intellectual behaviour. Also...how does the sleeping mind interpret the stimuli?? apparently so many variations are possible that if you could find a universal translation you would be win some prize for psychology immediately...How does the brain choose what it chooses to show as an interpretation? And the brain
does react to such sensory stimuli: why do mothers awake when their infants cry?? Why do you wake if someone calls your name?? It's not that the brain is
incapable of interpretating the data, just that the brain becomes
disinterested in sensory data...
It has been put forward that the somatic source dreams manifest in the form of a house, with many parts representing the different organs. however, this has been very much argued against, for how did this theory come about? and people do not always dream of houses, nor are dreams of houses congruent to somatic dreams!
An analogy of what i said above about interpretation and becoming disinterested:
If you asked the brain if he was awake he'd say "yes." if you then asked him to lend you 10 bucks he'd curl up somewhere and say "Ich bin doch eingeschlafen!" it's a state between awakeness and slumber i think...i think i need more analysis here.
Got canoeing tml. can't wait!! And the Amazing Race...also a must watch hahahaha...until then, ciao!

Hey ihr alle da draussen...today was rock climbing selections. Didn't make it. Aiyar, expected lah given that i was competing with people who have had 1 year of climbing experience...if i recall correctly i only have 2 weeks' worth of climbing experience...hahaha...das heisst, es ist doch scheissegal. Wish i had more experience though. The trainer seems the damn cool type....nevermind lah, hope those who go for training can teach us (or me more importantly....) =X hahaha...it's cool. just that i'm not cool enough. hrmph. take care y'all...
Hey ihr alle draussen...die Wochenede ist vorbei, also, was geht bei euch ab? Hoffentlich alles gut und schoen! Bei mir?? okaes...it wasn't so slack today compared to yesterday when i just did two things...1. watch
the Matrix Reloaded and then to College Day...which wasn't really that interesting...I was reading the newspapers in the LT, mind you hahaha...after that we had 1 pullup challenge...level 6 + 5!! I'm almost at 7!!! yeah man...keep on pumping! haha...we then went for dinner at Beauty World...wah...damn filling siah...hahaha =X

Douglas A-1H Skyraider. propeller-driven attack plane which scored against jet-powered aircraft. Nothing is impossible. moooohahahahaha...bleah. so bored!! off i go...ciao and take care all. 'nites.
~Rock Climbing II~
Hey ihr!! I went rock climbing again because the teachers happened to be free enough to open the rock wall. how nice. hahaha...Yes anyway. I scaled both walls
barefooted. Yup you got me. Because they don't have shoes which fit my oversize feet...so i just shed my shoes and climbed, what the heck!! I get a much better feel without them i think...Today was more technique-intensive than Saturday when it was all brute force...now i understand the wonders of technique haha...climbing the right wall was almost effortless! then i did the left wall. David helped lots by virtually hauling me up...all 65kg of me. I am such a pig. Hmm...i think rock climbing trains strength well too...cool! hahahaha...gotta go. bye!
Hey ihr alle da draussen...I'm listening to dance music now!! haha...
Pulsedriver - Galaxy anyhow. how's a wasted day at school for you? Imagine what I had today. 1 hour of Chemistry tutorial. 40 minutes of PE spent at the hall moving chairs and all that whatnot. Hey, 02s26 is a really united class!! Well, the human chain idea was mine but still, you all should have seen our efficiency! so here's a tribute to you guys.
Y'all rock. Really. =D
Got a piece of not-so-good news this morning though. My ex-GP tutor who taught me for the first three months of this year passed away of cancer...i know we weren't too kind by saying that her lessons were boring and all that...but still, we never knew that she would be actually
that strong! She still came around and taught us and we had no idea at all of how much she was really suffering...until she stopped teaching us after the common test, when Ms Champagne took over. she's a great teacher too...making GP seem all the more interesting. So this is for you, Ms Ann Sutherland. Rest in peace and i hope you find eternal happiness, wherever you be...
Moving on...i finally got to go out with my smallest meimei, emelyne...it's been ages since i last seen her! And what? she's still as cute as before...(last year i mean. =X) yeah...Dunno why she says she's not. Perhaps humble ba. hahaha...well i took her to the Library@Esplanade....hey it's a really cool place. really conducive for loafing around...i don't know why i shouldn't overnight there =P...yeah...she then gave me two letters and we talked for awhile...really heart-to-heart because we only get to see each other like, twice a year max?! bleargh!! Anyhow we went to kia kia then go makan...hahaha i am such a pig, always eating!! But...eating is my hobby...=X Ich bin eine Schweine nicht???
okay...gotta run. ciao y'all!
~Mind over Body~
Hey ihr alle da draussen...i shall condense...2 days into one? Oh wells. first things first. Jiayi, if you ever read this ger...yes, you have this knack of making friends with everyone. if not you wouldn't be friends with me...and even though i don't know who you're referring to i have a good idea (=X) who.....maybe it's the overwhelming tchs population in hcjc i don't know...maybe he would be better if he were in rj or where...i don't know. however it IS unlikely...there
IS an improvement of him lar...at least he isn't a machine-gun anymore
(note: it is only applicable if we are thinking along the same frequency here!!!) ahh wells. i've said my peace and i refuse to comment further...what can i say? Suffice to say that i've (most of our batch) has had such a prejudice in force since
sec 2? And they run deep. Trust me.
Moving smoothly on...Freitag war der Tag der groessten Enttaeuschung...
bloody hell!! How could they give a
half-day on the day when i have my medical checkup?! hao gei bu gei pian pian zai na tian gei...so wells. school ended at 2 pm but i got out of there at 11:30 am anyhow...arrived at 1. Results of checkup?? PES A!!
pes a. Pes A!!! das ist ja aber unglaublich!! Why you might ask. well. 800 degrees short-sightedness. slightly curved spine. Mild flat-footedness. And the MO (medical officer yup) just signed PES A like it was everyday business. i mean, i'm game for it but....will they turn me into a cyborg or something?? I keep having this feeling that they may implant circuitry into my eyes to keep it perfect forever and ever...and then disguise it as this really cool-looking tattoo. hahahaha...
Today was SNCS Level 1 Sports Climbing. cheem rite? haha...basically it's Level 1 Rock Wall climbing lah....and we're not taught to climb...it's something to do with tian fen...(also, etwas, mit dem man begabt ist) we were introduced to the important components of it...
Harness. Dynamic rope. Figure-of-Eight knot. Belaying. yupyup then we went climbing...it's amazing how much you can achieve huh based on willpower and adrenaline...for example, reaching the roof of the right (albeit simpler) wall on your first try?? I got stuck for a bit when the moment i bypassed it i was climbing on adrenaline...i scaled the remainder in like half a minute...=X it's really taxing. on your wrist and your forearms...my watch is scratched now. so is my other wrist and my right elbow....nice abrasions on both. hahahaha...but then again it's quite cool. Just that my technique, instead of focussing on upper body endurance and strength, just get the technique down secure and i think it'll be okay....it seems you push with your legs and not grab with your hands....bleah. i shall have to work on that on wed if the bouldering gym is open. IF.
wells....that's all for the weekend...i hope you all stay healthy and fit!! until next time, au revoir!

Luftschlosser bauen!! okay. haha....and how are you all?? Hope everything's still great and the world's still turning for y'all....I am so stressed out okay....I can't believe that i can't pass Level 6 of the pull-up Challenge!! Ich erklaere mal....
Basically, you need a minimum of
2 players. Every player takes turns to do pullups in a level fashion (
i.e., Level 1 = 1 pullup, Level 2 = 2, und so weiter...) I can't pass Level 6!!!! AUGH!!! -grrrr-....When i do the Challenge with the OAC folks, wow...they have the power lor. puts me under pressure but then again that's the key to higher performance isn't it??
I was reading more of
The Interpretation of Dreams...
Dreaming and Insanity. Because dreams are so insane and because insane folk act as though people act in dreams - without regard for themselves nor for morals...so, are dreams but temporary periods of insanity within our sleep? Is insanity just a long, long never-ending dream? Certainly, some patients of Freud have claimed that their periods of mental illness were like a bad dream...So, what say you all?
Bleargh. wish me luck for tomorra! ciao.
Hallo ihr alle da draussen...back from OAC!!! On

Haha...we did the pioneering project today...5 basic structures:
Suspension Bridge, Watchtower, Two-Leggy, Hourglass, Monkey Bridge. Everyone took their own sweet time...but hey i picked up a new skill today! It's called
Crown Splicing. 1. Tie a Crown knot. 2. Tuck the strands back into the workings of the braided rope (Back Splicing) and it's that easy!!! I spent 1 whole hour splicing that i had a couple of finger cramps. that's all. Really. However, it produces an interesting thing. Perhaps i shall attempt 3-strand crown plaits...just let me get enough nice rope first hahaha...-zzzzz-
Still have to slog at work later. Bio essay. Deutsche Hausaufgaben. ack. Scheiss scheiss. Hey if you want to check out what we did, just
click on this link =P Yeah. juniors if you all read this...good job yah?? and dun go canoeing!!! oac wan sui~~~~~ ok so egoistic...er xin. hahaha...byebye y'all
