It's week 2 but i'm dying

SOCIAL SUICIDE. A very apt word to use. Credits to Lynn for that word and that's what I have been committing these past few weeks. Well, it's not as bad as all the upcoming workload to settle and the most intense IHG games that has yet to come. Didn't realize I committed another social suicide just on Fri Night. I have no idea what happened but it was by accident that I had to send a wrong pic to the wrong chat. But whatever, I'm quite done with this bullshit. Got so many things on my mind, that the craze over my EC is falling to the bottom ranks. Nevertheless, thankful for the stupid and interesting chase of my EC which provided me with a break from the hell of work. Time to do some damage control by re-building my reputation as a cool person HAHA! This coming week is gonna be one hell of a hectic week. TOTALLY not looking forward to it although it's starting tmr. Got more incoming work to do, got to re-think about whether I wanna re-join basketball, got to prep ...

When things are getting out of hand, JUST RUN!

Important lesson learnt: Never ever let anyone know about your EC Can't believe that I'm being exposed and perhaps, also to be perceived as a stalker and a creep. He'll probably be so wary of me but I swear I'm a normal human being and not a creep :(. Life in Hall is kinda screwed. Have no idea what I should do right now, maybe JUST RUN. From now onwards, I will be too embarrassed to even look at him. But if it helps me to not have any wishful thinking, I'd rather it be this way. Not a good idea to have an EC anymore. :/ CHRISTINE, FOCUS ON YOUR WORK AND GOALS PLEASE!!!!

SHIT JUST GOT REAL?

Can't believe that shit just got real. Can't believe that the stirrings happened. Can't believe that I may need to move out of my block forever because I'm so embarrassed now. :( Do not want to leak out the details of what happened here but it all started from me being a Block Rep, I just wanted to get more people to come down for the Block Event and of course, out of goodwill, helping my friend (she will remain anonymous) to get a certain someone to come. Those moments where someone blue-tick you on Whatsapp but don't reply, and those moments where you are grateful that someone actually reads your message and reply. Despite him being my EC (of course I was over the moon that he did reply), I thought it would be a good chance for them to bond within the block because the blockmates are so UNBONDED. Not that I didn't ask the others, but he was the only one who replied that he might drop by at that point in time. Totally forgot about getting stirred (it also m...

Saturday is a NUA day?

Image
Today is a Saturday. Although it's a break-from-school day, I haven't started on my list-to-dos. I'm so screwed; not sure if I'm even ready for school yet. My first class presentation starts next wed and I haven't even started on it, but thankfully it's group project. Need to start soon, and MUST complete by tonight [*Goal of the day*]. Today while cleaning up the house, I found something that really brought back lots of memories and so much more motivation. Track is just one week away and to be honest I'm pretty nervous right now because we haven't took a proper time trial and I have no idea where I should improve on. :/ My previous personal time trial was pretty bad but I really had no idea why. Perhaps I just didn't do my best that morning. Nevertheless, I'm so determined to hit below 1 mins 20 secs for 400m (I'm most probably running that distance) and even set a new personal best. And road relay is another headache, hopef...

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going

[Post: 14 Jan] Today was a relatively good day! The day started off with me waking up to run and train my fitness. Sadly to say, my intervals timing was really bad and it didn't seemed to improve from the previous day! :( Nevertheless, I have decided that I will wake up early on later in the morning to go for another round of personal training. My goal is to hit 1min 20sec for 400m and maximum 11mins for 2.4km. Afterwards, I went to school and collected my textbooks and at the same time, I received good news. A hotel called me up for an interview for an internship. Although it kind of sounded like cheap labour, I guess it's better than nothing! I hope I will ace the interview and be offered an opportunity as an intern. And I still need to continue sending more emails for more opportunities, and also touch up on my resume and cover letter which kinda suck alot. Next I had Career Foundations II. The class wasnt that bad, just that I bought a really big skirt and had a tim...

Some thoughts over the past few days

Image
Can't believe I'm into the 3rd day of school but I feel so lost and have no idea what I am even doing in this first week of school. Guess I'm stuck in the holiday mode. :( IHG is still ongoing for me, given that I have Netball to compete, road relay possibly and still considering track. Having a love-hate relationship with Netball, somehow I ended up playing netball again in Hall. Netball was a sport I hated in secondary school despite 4 years playing it. Especially after all the constant disappointments, I wasn't sure if I could handle it again. And being an experienced player, there are so many who have high expectations of me. I hope I can rise to the occasion and live up to it. Last season was pretty ok but I felt I could have performed. And I have no idea why I get tired so easily. One could be that I'm running around unnecessarily, or second, my asthma attack might come back again. Being breathless almost everytime, I looked really weak and am perceived to b...

Good times, bad times

Just a little throwback to the New Year's stayover at Yancy's house, as well as the Christmas (late) exchange! :) It was really fun and enjoyable and I really enjoyed the HTHTs and watching the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Chip". But more importantly, we managed to Skype Chui and it was really good to see that she is doing fine in San Diego! :D Hopefully we will have more opportunities to skype with her and catch up with our lives! :) Just today, it was a really long and tiring day for me, but i learnt one very important lesson. While winning is important, what matters most is how the team pushes each other on and how the team can perform dynamically. Today was a loss for softball and hockey. While we lost to Champion Hall, Hall 14, it was really a tough fight for them and we managed to score 4 runs in the 5th inning! Was really proud of us and how we could actually hold them down pretty well during the first 4 innings! I was also really proud of my...
