I realised I've got some really outdated photos that ought to be published ages ago. For example, like Muscle War on my birthday. Haha.
Here's what I've been feasted to on my birthday. Muscle War 2005! (Check out those lines man.)
25th Management Committee, NUS Sports Club.
Biathlon 2005, registration.
The Sports Club committee singlet.
And the silly things we do in the clubroom.
Line 3. After a game with SMU.
Yesterday's training was superb. Didn't play forward at all, stuck to centre and defense. I realised it is quite exciting playing as a defender after all. My calf and butt muscles hurt like shit though. Hahaha. Nothing much going on, except for late nights, lessons, datelines to meet and floorball.
Boring.

Ahhhhh.
*fights desire*
*fights shopaholic within*
2 goals today, to make up for 4 shots last week which went off-target. The feeling of euphoria.
Which probably injects a fresh determination to train harder.
Cognitive Psyc's term paper is just round the corner, and I have yet to finish my skeleton. Presentation on nationalism is in 4 days, and I have no idea what to write. Statistics test on Friday - still blur for tutorial. Term 2...jia lat.

Observation 1:
I realised my work is getting to me. I tell people I will call them back in 2 minutes time (like, huh..so accurate?), I tell people I will send them an email within the next half-hr time frame (what...), I call people and almost automatically tell them "Hi I'm Xiao Pei from NUS Sports Club". Oh like what the hell. I get to the club room/home, switch on my laptop and automatically check for emails regarding updates on Open House / Sports Club stuff. Then I log on to IVLE to check for announcements regarding assignments, term papers and updates on lecture notes.
Oh not to mention I get calls from not my friends, but parents of my students asking me how their progress are, so I have to think up a 5-minute progress report to tell them over the phone. No wonder my mum switched my plan to one that has free incoming calls.
I end up teaching music theory on MSN to my students who have MSN, or to friends who are attempting theory.
When does "fun" ever come in?
Like my bro said, "Floorball is the only thing keeping me sane." I think so too.
Observation 2:
Singlehood. Being able to call whoever you like (girl, or guy) "darling" and not having to worry about consequences. Not having to answer to anyone except yourself. Being able to look at a drop-dead-gorgeous guy and know that you're "available" (even though you know its pretty impossible to get to know him). Being able to plan your own schedule without having to include a special slot called "boyfriend".
Singlehood. Too many fond memories of your past relationships and seeing your ex get another girl. "So what?", you may think. Let me tell you: the feeling sucks no matter how much you try to deny it and tell yourself "I have gotten over him." A sudden craving for TLC and you realise no one is able to give that to you, then you will have to find some sort of comfort within yourself. The awkwardness of seeing him again because of the sudden flood of memories, leaving you not knowing what to say or do even though you have planned each step carefully - from saying hi, to goodbye.
Observation 3:
Why is it that when I'm in NUS nobody seems to drop by for a visit, but when I am home, everybody calls my mobile and asks "Xiao Pei, are you in the club room? I am at _____. [insert Fong Seng/NUH/around SRC]"
I'm tired of all these. Someone just grant me 3 wishes and I know what I will do with them.
Wish #1: Give me a better figure with a smaller bone-structure. Say, 168cm and slim frame but toned body.
Wish #2: Grant me the ability to teleport anywhere I want to in 3 seconds.
Wish #3: Bestow upon me knowledge and skills of all sorts - music, sports, academic subjects, language, EQ.
I think by this time, you people will have to slap me for my desire for such perfection.

I saw that smile again today. Very captivating.
:)
I feel like an outsider looking in..to every circle of friends I am in. Beyond that circle of trust.
I think I'm basically getting anti-social over the years.
*sulks*
So busy, I could hardly breathe. All it takes is one hiccup..to upset everything.
If only time froze at 1.01pm today.

I passed PL2131! :)
Due dates of assignments and term papers are looming up ahead, not to mention Open House 2005 on the 12th March requires preparations, with tests thrown in..I forsee the next 3 weeks are gonna be hell for me.
I was at AS1, 2nd level today..that place is a bloody smokers' area. The moment I came down from the stairway I could plainly smell it - the cigarette smoke. I'm not really affected by the smoke, rather I am quite disgusted at how the place turned out to be - shabby, old and filled with..smokers who don't look happy smoking..they look like drug addicts.
But it was at AS1 and AS6 I saw that amazing smile. A smile that I will not forget because not many people can smile as nicely as that guy did. Super nice.
Its a good night to dream about that smile. *silly grin*
