yupz thats wad you need to do to get urself killed in the end. something that looks certain for me.

how apt to end 2-3 wks of 2-3 am days with a 2-3 am blogpost.

yes im dying from lack of slp. which is why i spent today totally relaxing, sleeping, doing the things i love and putting minimal study time to recouperate.

the past 2-3 wks have been nothing short of hell. but seniors tell me it'll only get worse O.o me being the kind of person that needs a lot of slp (anything beyond 12am is damn late to me usually b4 all this crap came my way) it was pretty hard to handle. but now its like almost 2nd nature to sleep at 2-3am. but the bioclock wake up times have yet to adjust, which is a gd thing in a way, forcing u to wake up at the right times (or wrong times if u wanna look at the it frm another perspective) so far completed enuf stuff to count 30% towards my OB grade and 5% towards my econs grade, and plenty of nonassessed stuff.

6 wks in, i can say life in hall XI has been pretty awesome. discounting all the usual hectic work schedules and deadlines, ive tried more things that ive not tried b4 than in the past 2-4 years combined, built more friendships and acquaintances (which hopefully will become friendships eventually) amongst hall ppl (seniors and freshies alike) and am enjoying life in general. between all the various hall events, mugging sessions in the reading room (which sometimes end up being gossip and laughing sessions haha), dinner outings to various canteens, softball trainings etc etc, we've formed a close bond of friendship that probably will last for years to come. it helps that 50% of my og is frm nbs =)

ok sentimentality aside, jus some other major updates that i can rmb.
1)Hall DnD last sat! the 20s affair... wadeva that means hahaha. wore black suit white shirt red tie and a crappy hat to suit the theme. altho i feel its damn ugly. haha. to amanda and faiz: it doesnt matter that you didnt win ya? we all still love you =)
2)More IBG! didnt win as usual. RELAC ONE CORNER LA. a sidenote: you noe you're going for too many IBGs when your blk manager tells you "you can be blk 55 star ibg player la."
3)bought my 1st tennis racquet today! a wilson k factor six two... an all around racquet suitable for mid level players according to the wilson website... haha a bit blindly the way i bought it, but the owners of the shop (transworld sport) at queensway were helpful in advising me abt some gd models and some technicalities of racquet choosing. even helped me find a racquet with a handle that fit my relatively small hand grip. and they helped me string the racquet on the spot! pretty interesting the whole process. the owners were pretty experienced la the way they conversed abt tennis in singapore back in the 80s - 90s and back when there was a pro tennis tournament in sg (YES there was one). apparently they are the official "stringer" for tennis events in sg so there shld be some reputation there. racquet + string + balls + bag = $228 lol omg $ fly away again. nt sure abt tennis shoes, will look around a bit 1st b4 deciding.

ok gtg back to slp again... =)

commitments from projects, studies and ibg is driving me up the wall.

sick, tired, overworked, under rested.

i jus want to get over next wk. =(
