Stepping foot onto Sentosa once again equates to more tanning. However, sad to say the intensity of the Sun isn’t that great today especially with the light showers in the afternoon, so we had only mild tan.

But according to TDW and LJH, such sun intensity is great for more solid tanning. Just like the slow cooker, it takes time to produce a good bowl of soup/dish. Too much fire will cause it to get burnt(human skin as well) easily. So believe it or not.. I’m a little more tan now than this morning.

This is the scene of Coasters during the high tide and heavy rain, when they tried to salvage the situation by retrieving their tanning beds and chairs back . Apparently, it wasn’t very successful due to the strong wind and rain.

Dinner was what we were waiting for, after starving the whole day and so much activity going on. Pariss International Seafood Buffet @ Marina square, with AMKSS Band Teachers, conductors.. and guest Kenneth’s girlfriend.

Seriously, i think the food’s pretty decent, not very extraordinary, but alright. Unlike BT and DW, i don’t really like mussels, so there isn’t much expensive food for me to spam. Unless you want to include fish, which i think was the main animal of the day and abalone.

Something which might interest you guys, especially if you are a chocolate lover.

Esther, you looking at this? Jealous..? haha..

And they actually took a whole bowl of that chocolate from the fountain to the table. Easier access to the chocolate, haha.

There was this waitress, quite unfriendly one. She came to our table and collected the used plates. Apparently she didn’t see that there was still fish on one of the plates, maybe the fish camouflaged itself too nicely with the colour of the plate.

I think we posses some kind of eye power, when she removed the plate from the table. All of us didn’t make a noise, instead we locked our eyes on the plate as she took it away from our table. Within seconds, the waitress placed the plate back on the table.

Great isn’t it?

It’s so another day of shiokness, but right now i’m feeling so darn shag. After few days of hectic schedules i’m more or less burnt out.

 More events lining up for me, got to rest more to survive the fun.

Till then,

Have MORE FUN everyone!!

It seems that my life without studying is rather busy still.

My body seemed to be still under the fatigue of the studying of the alevels. i don’t really feel as energetic as before i don’t know why.

But anyway, i have been too tired to update the last few days, especially after the wedding dinners.

At least after 2 nights of wine and delicacy, i’m in a more refreshed state now.

Some picture from the wedding dinner.

My handsome brother trying to act cool..

I shall embark on the last paper for A Levels, and probably the last time i am going to wear the piece of brown cloth.

I shall keep my updates going soon, been rather busy these days. Especially after A’s, ironically.

It feels great to be back on the track, in the swimming pool and in the gym again. Now i can feel a little aches here and there which makes me feel great.

I think its more or less time to revert to my normal healthier lifestyles, exercise more and eating out less. Knowing that if i eat at home, the food would be like 937649 times healthier than outside stuffs. But sometimes its a little hard to keep the taste buds down yea also..

But looking at the dealings i have after 20th Nov, it seems that it is almost impossible to eat out less looking at the amount of dealings i have..

17Nov – Wedding Dinner

18 Nov – BBQ w WestWinds

18Nov- Wedding Dinner

21 Nov – AMKSS Alumni Band Dinner =x

26 Nov – Dinner with teachers

27 Nov – NYJCSB Band Dinner

and a couple of family gatherings at restaurants..

Hmm, somehow i am looking forward to these events.. haha. Well, with some exercises along the way i guess they wouldn’t add up to that much of carbo.

Any one interested for run or swim or any physical activities pls come look for me.

I got free lobang for swimming pools entry. Yes FREE.

How i wish Physics was over.

This is what happens to me when i get so obsessed in getting AAAAAAAAAs..

Haha, kind of scary isn’t it.

I’m kind of reaching full employment, i am on the PPC curve now.

I need to expand out my PPC curve, to memorize more things for Economics and Human Geography.

Some factors that can expand my PPC curve includes Supply Side Policies. Some of these policies can include..

• More cash for newer toys like PSP, or set up a PSP fund for me.
• Some nicer people in my life.. hmm heh..
• MORE SLEEP
• Get to use more of muscles than the brain..

I’m getting madder as the day passes, don’t be surprise that i visit Buangkok before 20 November.

All these mugging better be fruitful, if not its will be so sad.

T_T

Love, (mugging)

Daryl

Shall sum up things with pictures.

I was packing some of my cupboards when i found this. Nostalgic ain’t it. This name tag is currently extinct, as the school has switched to sewn on name tags.

 I found this too, anybody tried dismantling hard disks? It looks like this in the inside. Just one piece of metal disc, where all your information and data are stored.

 How does it feels to own McDonalds? Yes, indeed, how about being the ONLY customer left in there.

Mugging hasn’t been more tiring than this before. 

Its really a terror to study full swing for arts subjects. All one just have to do is to memorize and analyze, lacking the calculation and thinking part which is needed for science subjects which probably give more tinge of satisfaction when the correct answer is worked out.

I’m realizing, more of realized that i don’t actually have much time left .  Geography and Economics, its burning me out.

Somehow, i feel that at such critical period, the differential line that filters off the good students and the mediocre  is the mere word..

Concentration

Its quite hard i have to agree, but i just have to force it upon myself this word. There are thousand and one things in the world happening around us that can grab our attention away, and it is to our own determination whether we can shun them away or accept it in fate.

In order to maximize the efforts on learning, i can’t stress more on the importance of the above.

We have come this far, it is utterly stupid to get distracted by little things now that will affect the brightness of our future.

Hang on people, and myself, its going to be over soon before we know it.

Some sidetracks, i was kind of appalled at some of the things grownups do nowadays.

Daryl’s definition of grownups refers to someone that is older than him, cause he consider himself getting older everyday with books and memorizing work turning lots of his hair white.

I was at MacDonalds yesterday, and it was almost midnight timing that 3 aged 20 plus walked in with their laptops. They were carrying their laptop, and at that very instance my instinct tells me that they are University Students and are most probably doing their FYP or something like that.

Here’s Reality

Out of curiosity, i walked closer to have a look..

They were actually tapping on the wireless@SG, playing maplestory!!!

Yes, its maplestory and i am not blind. The 2D online game that was designed for children, and its not them only, i’ve seen many people doing this same thing at public locations.

Well, i can’t say much, wireless@SG is a public good, and there is non-excludability in consumption, provided you have a notebook.

Look at the cute cartoons, imagine adults playing them. Some of my friends out there play that too, i don’t know why..

There’s going to be serious flooding in UK, due to the storm surges.

Are our exam scripts going to reach there safely?

Will our scripts be wet?

Bullshit!

Today marks the end of my maths life. Its the end of A Levels Mathematics Paper, and the rest are mostly writing and memorising.

Say goodbye to my lovely Graphic Calculator, displace numerical values and symbols out of my mind for the moment. There’s a huge pile of notes beside my table top now, they consists of notes and works of the completed subjects and paper. Its growing, and i can’t help but feel happy about it.

I smell freedom, its near.

I have 6 days to prepare for the upcoming papers, the more challenging and tough ones. Economics and Geography Paper 2, considering that i haven’t touched them since aeons ago, kind of rusty already. I wished i had a delete button integrated in my brain, so that i can easily clear those stuffs i have memorized for Physical Geog, GP, Math, etc, and store in new stuffs. Sad to say i don’t have a lot of storage space allocated for studies, its kind of little i must confess, and i tend to remember things that is unnecessary. Absurd.

As said on my title, correction, its more than half way already. 6 out of 10 papers down, four more left, 14 days. Mug on!

Should i study in Starbucks, or library…? Hmm.. Choice, decision, sacrifices, delusions, fantasies.. REALITY!

Its the productiveness that counts though, without the extra perks while studying.. Haha, i don’t really get what i am saying here.

I guess its probably the end of O’levels exams already, DON’T GLOAT!, its not the end of your educational path, its just a transition point. Similar for A Level students though, but somehow i think NS is quite a good place for guys, to get away from studies for a while and grow some muscles, to be a man. Sad for the females, where they will once again embark on their arduous journey to study and mug, though its a whole new environment but somehow the life would be the same revolving around notes and more notes.

Seems like i’m starting to embrace NS with a smile. 1 month and 4 days to my enlistment, anyone want to send me off at Chua Choa Kang MRT? Sad to say i only have 2 invitations to the Police Academy and they are taken up by my family members. A send-off at CCK MRT would be good enough, take some photos with old friends before we meet again and till i have hair all over again.

Till then..

Happy mugging!

Whoo.. Daryl is happy today.

I can’t believed that i managed to complete 21km in Bishan Park today. The timing was 2hrs 15mins. Fatigue starts to set in after the 17th KM, i felt like i was crawling my way through the last 4km.

It seems like all the sore, pain and fatigue disappear instantaneously when i reached the finishing point.

I managed to complete 6pull ups, even after the 21 km run. The feeling is just too great.

Some tips to consider to survive a long run (only if you consider 20km to be long enough for you)

• Eat at least 5hours before the run

This is for your body to fully absorb what you have eaten to give you the energy to last. Also, one won’t be able to run well on�a full and heavy stomache.

• Eat Light

This is just my personal opinion, because i cannot stand the strong�feeling of the food still lingering around my tastebuds. More�fruits and vegetables would be adviceable because they are easier to digest. Meat might give you the protein, but you would have to consumer them earlier to make sure it no longer stays in your body.

• Drink just enough water

Due to the fact that we perspire a lot and lose�water during the run. It is�inevitable that we replenish the water content in our body. But always make sure that we just take enough water to�replenish those that were loss.�Drinking too much will result in a heavy stomache and it might lead to stitch. Also, try to drink the water slowly instead of gulping it all down at once.

• Consistency

Try to run on a consistent pace, never try to beat time�as it will only result in more fatigue coming your way before reaching your destination. Just let your body be full control of the speed. When it’s tired,�it will slowly down automatically, when its feeling good,�the body�would push�you to pace up.

• Determination

This is the last and one of the most important factor. Set your target, and run towards your target. If something crops up in the middle of the run, don’t push yourself. It will only lead to more injury making you less abled to run the next time round. If its only tiredness,�then try to make yourself think, think of anything under the sun, then you probably forget about the�sore and tiredness.

I’m double, triple checking my entry proof, confirming that there are no papers tomorrow. Yes, it reads Mathematics Paper 1 02/11/07, which is Friday. Great, i shall have one more day to sharpen my sword.

Till then,

mug hard.
