we lost the semi finals yesterday. pretty exciting i would say. 3-1 sets. last set lsot 25-23, having caught up with the opponent from 14? i cant remember. i lost count the sets we played. it seemed like an eternal game of catching. i didnt play my best as usual, just ok for yesterday's game. the season is starting soon as well on the other side of the island. as much as i wish for myself to be in the main team i guess it is not possible, looking at how i have been playing at the past few trainings. it hasnt been motivating. i used to look forward to trainings partly cos i wanted to train for the ih. but now that ih is over, i guess i should just try to enjoy the trainings and not bother about the opporutnity costs for now.

suddenly it seems to familiar again. the time in jc, being in the main 6, and aj dropping out of top4 position in j2. the familiar emotions after finishing the season without playing to your expectations. the emptiness. maybe its a good thing that i am feeling this way. it depicts how attached you are to the team in ih. i think we did a great job fighting back in the 3rd and 4th set. pity we warmed up late. things would definitely be different if we took things off right from the start. but i guess as the saying goes,the ball is round, you never know what can happen. i'm really proud of the girls. we fought through all the 4 sets. its really a pity. i think we really were champion material. i think i will miss them, and the kan chiong spider coach's nagging. the hall spirit was really good yesterday. all as one, no barriers, if only it could stay that way.

school. it's the first week. no tutorials except for the broadcast journ tutorial. 7 videos to hand up this sem la, not the rumored one per wk. heng. web design was ok. for now that it. i'll start pulling my hair sooner or later. the foundation modules are boring, reading heavy. went through a lecture yesterday with the traditional OHP and transparency slides. i think the corners were dog eared. it shows how not IT the lecturer is. and we think he supports the opposition party.

only first week, but somehow i feel like i have a thousand and one things on my mind. after looking at my planner, things are really going to be packed i forecast. Take it easy i'll remind myself there and then.

dan started his internship. hope things will go well for him. you can do it! we had a whole day out on the school day eve. it was fun. shopping, belgian chocolate ice blended, tang yuan, a bind of love, nydc farmboy for me and three amigoes for him together with a double date with his ex-roomie and female frend. i hope we can do this again. but for now lets just survive this semester in jcrc, and in school.

chinese new year. i'm looking forward to that break. get fat again. mwah.
