body needs to catch up on some sleep


finally settled my ippt.....twice and for all. first time was a bummer...glad i got it the second time round. yay..400 b ucks richer in an hour. was surprised to see my elder bro there...reached there with leon and just when we were putting our stuff into the locker, my bro showed up suddenly. ends up he was in the detail just before us. and we got a free ride home in the process =)
nearly couldn't make it for 2.4km..cos i got abit over complacent after the first round...so 2nd round slacked abit. when i started on my 3rd and final round, i was quite shocked to see the timing of 6:36...knew i had to die die rocket off my last round or come back again next week for another round of ippt..haha..so i finished my last in 3.04..which was more or less a 800m sprint.lol~ tired.
caught up with cheryl at night...we went breeks at taka for dinner. was as hungry as a horse..and feeling quite drained in fact, especially the legs. we ate and laughed and joked..nice being with her..we can just talk about practically almost anything. then we went starbucks for some coffee talk b4 heading home.

today she left for kl...3 day trip. i woke up earlier 5.45an just to prepare breakfast for her and bring it to golden mile. was a really nice feeling when she msged and said the sandwiches were delicious. final hug and kiss b4 she left in the bus, and i was on my way for my 9am lesson =(. today got a lift from genie at clementi mrt..and reached sch just in time at 9am. lessons were tiring man..lol. feel sleepy tdy..it's gonna be a long long day...still got 2 hr lect at sci followed by a lab..bleahz. think i'm gonna concuss when i reach home later. still don't feel properly rested after my ippt.

going to make use of this weekend to do some solid work. key thing to keep in mind is good planning and discipline. focus kenneth...do whats best...and do it good.

cheers

waiting for transport lecture in the comp lab

it's been a long time since i started blogging in public again..haha been doing some personal blog entries recently. i think my last entry was probably a month ago.haha~..so many things have happened in my life...it's gd to be back home in singapore..after being in the states for so long. somehow nothing beats the feeling of homeliness. true it's exciting to be away in a foreign land for so long, learning new stuff, widening your perception of life...but ultimately, home is where you get the most love, the most support from. and all these are invaluable, because they come so unconditionally. i love my family and friends back here!
to my friends who are overseas working/studying, enjoy urselves to the max. it's a once in a lifetime experience, so you must really live like never b4..but of cos not on the wrong side of life of cos ;) play hard...and work hard...and cherish your times there.catch up when u all come back.

2 more days to the end of my tuition kid's exams! it's been a weary 3 week period for me...been going down to his place at hougang almost everyday for 2 hrs...transport is a headache...can take about 2.5 hrs just to travel to and fro. but i'm so glad it's ending..i'm so glad at least he looks like he's in some shape for his exams. when i took over this guy 4 weeks back, it was in pretty bad shape...but now at least i can see some confidence in his eyes...some drive in him..haha.hope he fares well for this coming exam.

caught up with the boys for some sports last weekend..it's been ages since we played sports together. enjoyed a game of badminton and soccer with leon, genie and alwyn. feels gd to sweat it out and spend some time with them. feels gd to catch up wif ur brothers. still got one more sports brother missing in action..cos he's in sweden..yujun. waiting for him to come back then we'll be back to the sports addicts again. whole day see his blog like evry happening..do drop him a visit if you're free to catch up on life in sweden. http://tanyujun.blogspot.com

am with leon and genie at comp lab now..tdy just did transport lab. sian~ wear the cwo vest and stand at the kent ridge crescent to time the length of traffic light. haha..serious~ the only thing lacking for us to pass off as construction workers were just helmets. thank god we didn't have to wear them! spent 30min standing out just clicking a stopwatch..haha..tdy is a slack day. geotech lect got cancelled as well.so now we're just waiting for a 1 hr lecture at 2pm.

took my ippt last thur. 1 sec to gold..haha..super wasted. never pace myself properly + haze + never train properly = 9min45sec for 2.4km. other stations were ok..basically i got all 5 points, but just that 2.4 missed the 9min44sec mark! the PTIs were laughing when they saw my results..and they say it's super sway. i also feel it's really unlucky..lol...anyway i told them i'll be back next week with a vengeance. gonna thrash my old timing upside down..taking wif my bro leon this thur..but haven't trained since last thur..so abit panicky.haha..anyway later will prob go for a gd run in prep for this thur. cannot afford to mess up again this time.

abt to prepare for lect now.trying to read thru bio notes..eyes closing. it's no doubt a slack day for me at sch tdy, but it's gonna be a long day today. still wanna go home after lecture to practise my running, then go for tuition, and so some work when i get back.

haven't been practising my drums faithfully for the past few weeks. so many things on my mind..but the last month has been the happiest i have ever gone through.
