Disastrous semester has finally ended.

This semester has really been cr4zy. First, my studies really sucked this semester.

-Failed ALL my modules for mid semester test.
ACG - 40+
ELSA - 15
SDT - 40+
SAPD - No test
NETS - 40+

-2 warning letters for poor attendance.
ACG
GEMS - Entrepreneurship

-Director wants to see and talk to 3 students in my course for a "Review in Academic Performance" (one of them is me)


But on the good side, i think i'm learning every semester. Last semester, I decided to be more active in exercising, and not always staying at home. And i did it this semester, i decreased the time i spent on my plastic chair in my room. And i'm quite proud to say, i managed to increase my fitness level. And also, i didnt really feel the drag to come to school.

So i'm quite determined to work on this few areas of my life next semester:

-To listen during lectures
VERY HARD. But must tank. Try to make my results look good, after 1 yr of lousy GPA (Cumulative GPA:1.9 LOL?)

-Come for lessons. (Try to make ponning of lessons minimal, maybe 2 lessons per week)
Trying to wake up for earlier lessons are hard, but i'll try to achieve that but practicing good sleeping habits.
Try to wake up 8am everyday during holidays.

-Fitness
I run like some weakling, although i've improved. I'll train till achieve good timing.
Embarrasing, but i wanna do my first pullup soon (i aim to achieve it during these holidays). Now can pull 3/4. LOL?
Gain muscle, lose fat

-To work to gain trust from classmates to select me willingly as a teammate
This is cr4zy, I had the teammates i dread i will have for ACG. Cuz they're like cliques, and i'm the leftover. So guess what i did in the project? The whole project i only did the personal reflection. WTF?! Not that i don't wanna do but i don't know what to do cuz i don't listen in class. And they didnt asked me to do other stuff. (Very obvious, cuz they know i wun know what to do even if they asked me to do it). Feel like some useless junk. So, I will make sure i understand modules. FROM ZERO TO HERO. And yes, to all that look down on me, i'll make sure you beg me for my help next semester.

-Finance
LOL, i aso don't know why this semester like so poor. BUT, because of my birthday, i've managed to cover the hole i dug when i bought my speakers. I've always only had like $10- $40 dollars in my wallet this semester. Must be the sexpensive food i ate this semester. Hog's breath, mathatten fish market. And the movies i watch this semester is alot la. Far more than last semester. Spent money on Battlefield 2142, Tommy Emmanuel tickets also. Next semester, i shall not eat so much ex food.




My Holiday Timetable

I've roughly thought i'm going to do during the holidays, most likely not going to work (unless pay is >=$6/hr).

Swimming in the afternoon @ 1000 (2 hours, BANGLA-RIZE myself and alil cardio)
Reach home @ 0130, rest awhile till 0200.
Go gym (1 hour, no wasting time on ahkua threadmills)
Reach home bathe 0330.
Secret training on guitar (Let's say 2 hrs till 0545, hopefully i can play a TEmmanuel tune by the end of holidays)
SLACK to maybe 0800
Go for a slow jog with jw. (let's include talking time and fellowship with JW till about 0900)

So productive right? But guys, if wanna go out please call me out. I do all these cuz i dun wanna find myself playing computer games all the time and getting unhealthy (scully turn to second qc, scary). LAN, movies, pool, swimming, fool ard or anything.



Tommy Emmanuel
On the 21st July, went to watch Tommy Emmanuel with Dad. So excited that day. Cabbed down to esplanade, had our dinner @ thai express. Didn't really care about food la, too excited to watch him play liaoz. Went into the concert hall after makaning. I looked around me, and it really encouraged me, and confirmed that music has no boundaries, it doesnt take a teen to like pop music. And it doesnt mean instrumental jazz has to be listened by another group of people.

I saw musicians, uncles, kids, teenagers, working adults, old man with woman, angmor, chinese, malay rockers with long hair, indians sitting in their sits, equally or maybe even more excited guessing what he would play that night.

Lights dimmed, and there he was. I didnt really expect him to be so tall la, i see him in concert dvds look so short. Angmor size.

Wakao, he play live super SHIOK man. I there wanna shake legs and bob my head like how i'll listen to music at home, but paiseh la. So i controlled, but my legs still tapping to the beat and my hands tapping aso. Played songs like Mombasa, Windy and Warm, Guitar boogie, tall fiddler.

He played a song i've never heard b4 and it was ruby's eyes (coming out in the next album). super soothing.


Songs that speak so much even w/o lyrics. Meaningful. Please stop listening to rap music. LOL.

It was the first time i saw my father watching in awe and listening like a kid watching barney. So attentive, and wtf!!! i couldn't believe it, he didnt doze off.

The next time Tommy Emmanuel is in Singapore, i'll definitely go. This time nearer to the stage.



Just finish last semester exam. Best la, so relieved. The timetable shall start tml!!!
