I'm Right-Handed Now.

Gah. I have no idea what's wrong with my left hand after today's training.

Like I think my left hand has millions of problems?

From the Stupid Blister to the Muscle Cramp some time back. This time it's more like the muscle cramp than the blister though, although the blisters are still there and haven't healed yet.

Got back Physics test results today. Like yay 37 marks!

Maths was on some unfamiliar subject. Haha. Not really la. I got 'chosen' to go the board and do some question which we all haven't learned about yet. =\ Cannot talk to Koon Tat anymore la. Haha.

Campcraft training. Pegged until my hand was....shaking? At first like I didn't notice anything, until I tried tying a guy-line and found that my left hand could not tie the knot at all? Siao la. The whole hand was like shaking like I got fits or something, then I tried like mad to get thumb to move by itself and tie the knot but cannot. Haha, was scared at first cause it was like shaking by itself and even though I saw my hand shaking I felt nothing. But then got *cough* first-aider *cough* to help. =)

Now my left hand is like, super lazy to move. Can move, but I'm using my right-hand for most things. And I couldn't even open a packet of chili from Long John Sliver at dinner. Joshua thought I was acting cause my acting skills are too good...

Now I'm slowing discovering the things I can't do without a bendable thumb. Like unlocking my phone keypad. Or (hopefully) writing so that I won't have to do homework. =D

Sighs. I've been sleeping at 11.30+ every night since Sunday. 3 cans of coffee so far cause I finished my resolution to stop drinking coffee a week. Haha. Okay maybe I should stop drinking coffee altogether unless there's some special reason.

Stress.

A lecturer asked an audience:"How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out
ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how
long you try to hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it
becomes."

He continued:"And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry
our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes
increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the
burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't
carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying
now, let them down for a moment if you can."

CA2.

Got back some of my results.
Quite okay for CA2 la. Like I passed everything except A Maths? Which is surprising cause I expected to do badly for everything as I never even bothered to study at all. And I actually got 81 for English? That's like the first time since Secondary school, or Primary 3.

But everyone will just say I'm lying. So nvm.

Woke up this morning feeling super super tired. Like my eyes were half open on the way to school, and I slept on the MRT.
VIP today was excellent. Cause it was just what I needed. A nice long half and hour period and me at the last row. Haha. I think I started sleeping 5 minutes into the session. Not because it's boring la, but because I was too tired. But I did pay attention subconsciously la. Like I can remember that the lesson was on teamwork and how to make a team work together.

Blah. School was boring. Can't remember anything cause it's all so repetitive.

Anyways, no Maths Remedial after school! YAY!
Went KFC for lunch, then went home.

Gah.

Haven't updated for very long.

Friday's incident was sad. But I shall not describe it here. It's scary to realise that it could have been you, me, or anybody.

Started thinking about everyone I knew in the past that had passed away. From when I was too young to fully comprehend the significance of my grandfather passing away, to my grandmother's who both died before I was born, to recently. And then I started thinking about the future.

Puts things into perspective really.

Went youth cell even though it was already 8.10. Reached there at about 9. Message was on God's Love. Probably very ironic since one never fails to wonder why God does something when God loves us.

But if there's one thing I learned from cell last Friday, it's that God's love surpasses all knowledge. Ephesians 3:17-19.

I'm tired. Tired of backsliding, tired of reflecting, tired of everything.


But I'm still trying.

Geography Field Trip.

Okay, I was supposed to update "tomorrow" ya?

But then my computer suddenly cut off it's internet access for some reason. And I just upgraded internet speed to 100mbps with a new modem and all, so I thought that was the problem. Then I checked and found that internet was still working, so I next tried using various programs to connect up with various servers, and only msn was working. Pinging other IPs via command prompt worked too. Then I tried both FF and IE which didn't work, and cleared out everything from temp internet files, tried checking regedit to see if anything was wrong, but couldn't find any problem, heck, even searched for xp install cd, but didn't have any serial. Hence I couldn't blog for the past few days even though msn was working, probably cause msn used a different port to access internet? I dunno.

Simple explanation: Comp Internet Spoil.

Solution? Norton Internet Security blocked the internet ports because I was *ahem* torrent-ing something. -.-

Okay no more geeky stuff. =)

Woke up at 8am for the field trip, took my time cause everyone is bound to be late one right? In the end I was the last to arrive even though I reached at 9.35? Bleh.

Started off by walking upstream. Haha, walked exactly the same way as we did the last time. Like Clarke Quay looks different in the Morning compared to night time. It's more, sophisticated? Night time is probably more cool man. Haha.

We walked all the way to the exact same bridge that I took a photo of the last time too. Haha
Haha, didn't take any reflection picture this time cause there was no reflection to take. =)

Next crossed over the bridge, and saw this Japanese girl? The girls were like crowding around and taking photos.
I think you can't even see the girl from this angle. But I think she's very pretty lah. =D
Haha, and Lenson used his camera to take the photo of the railing? Whilst I took photos of him. ;)
Then Jemaine saw this dog which she start patting. =/ Like super daring la. If a stranger come and pat my dog I'll feel very weird?
Then we saw this signboard which Malvin and Hui Joo started taking photos of.
Haha, someone pasted a sticker on the signboard la.

Trip was cut short cause it started raining as we were walking past Central. So we went to Burger King for lunch.
Awesome! =D
Walked with Lenson to the Esplanade alone after that. Heh. Like a date. Not many people around on the way there cause it was still raining. =OSnake!!
This picture looks dam scary la. But it wasn't scary at all when we took it. Haha. Dunno why it's green too, incorrect white balance?

And I saw Guan You at Citylink Mall! Haha.

After that went to Lenson's house. Saw his entire collection of photos and played COH. Now I'm like addicted to that game la. Feel like playing RTS games all over again. =/

Went home for 1 hour, then went out to catch Fireworks! =D But there's too many pictures in this post already...

27 Out Of 121 Hours.

Awesome. I managed to stay awake this past 5 days for 94 hours! That's 27 hours of sleep since Campcraft training on Wednesday. Add or subtract a few minutes of falling asleep on the bus or mrt. Haha. Got room for improvement maybe?

Lot's of things happened today, but I'm too tired to blog already, staying awake on coffee is bad, so I shall go sleep. =)

Shall blog tomorrow. With lots and lots of pictures.

Long Shutter.

Messed around with Lenson's long shutter setting on his Canon Digitual Ixus 900Ti today too.

Can only be used at like, night time cause your pictures would be overexposed. Long shutter is basically just delaying the time the shutter closes? Meaning you get a longer exposure and cool effects varying with how long you keep the shutter open.

4.97 seconds. Should adjust contrast and all, but I'm too lazy. =P

2.48 seconds. Both pictures taken at Bus stop opposite Bishan Park. Very few cars cause it was 11+ at night. =)
