think it has been some time (well, monday to today isn't really that long but it does feel long enough) since i last blog... well, a couple of things happened, such as i am slowly catching up on my readings. since at least leanna and i are splitting up our workload. that much is easier.... hope that this sem i will be able to pull up my abysmal cap score to a higher one, and hopefully bring it nearer to second lower, and if possible second higer honours score, so that i can stay on to do honours. i mean i really wanna do honours, though it is more for pragmatic reasons. its coz i wanna be a PE teacher in the future, and the pay for honours students is significantly higher compared to degree holders. so i do hope to get my honours. pls Father help me through this. may all the mistakes i made in the past be corrected this semester. help me achieve my As and Bs please.

another reason why i wanna go on to honours is because i wanna go for SEP. i mean it is a good deal, paying the same school fees to go overseas and live in a foreign place and juz bask in foreign culture. though accomodation and flight tickets and the basic necessities to living have to be borne by me. but to live as they live and to be one with them is juz something that i have always wanted to do. i hope to take advantage of globalization and see as much of the world my Father created before i go back home. i wanna see the world as it is and not as some bourgeoise tourist juz there to take advantage of the poor nations and to have them smile back at me juz because i pay for something they are offering me.

which is something that i wanna talk about next. why the hell do we have to put up a 'show' of smiles for our visitors coming for IMF by smiling all the time? muz we come up with a campaign to get singaporeans to smile? by campaigning doesn't it mean that as we are, we are not able to smile from our hearts and have to be encouraged to smile? i seriously think there is something wrong with the way that we are approaching this IMF thing. seriously man. it juz feels so wrong. any takers on this? bet there are. so many people i know are like saying how stupid this campaign thing is. kudos to our wonderful government eh?

anyway, am starting on running training with my new found running partner shihui since yesterday. yeah, she signed up for the 21km run with stand chart and needs to train for it otherwise she would die, and yes she would die if she juz went ahead and run without proper training. so she has enlisted my help to go for runs with her on wed and fri. and in a way it is good for me coz my running sucks eggs and i really need to improve my stamina and speed. this is a good reason for me to get out of the bed and go for runs in the early mornings. otherwise i will juz choose to lay in bed in the mornings and not exercise.

here is a picture of my running partner

i need my $400 bucks from the SAF man. i need to get gold! i can do it! i hope... shit... 914 is something i have never achieved even during my NSF term. but i do wanna get that $400... so come on ernest! you can do it. u juz need discipline and commitment to go and run ur 10km religiously for a period of time. who knows, you can get that 6 pack abs that has always evaded you.

now why am i talking to myself? i have no idea... sigh.....

anyway, i will add a pic of a Japanese chick i took with anders, terence and myself. we all thought she looked like ayumi hamasaki. even the japanese dude that took the picture for us said she was a cutie... haha, great minds think alike man!

finally i can add the pictures
