first week of school

i realized probably nobody reads this blog anymore and the url is super outdated but i can't think of what to change it to haha.

did a few things for the first time last week, just before school started. went to the trampoline park on monday with arts camp ppl at orchard cineleisure, and yea it is alot more difficult than it looks, not to mention damn tiring. i felt like i was there for 2+ hours and it was like the most exercise i did in weeks haha. after playing around for awhile we decided to try some stunts, but we couldn't master the most basic one, which is lying back like trust fall, then bouncing back upright.

its quite difficult to pull off cos if u don't trust fall properly and land on ur butt instead of ur back, there will be this recoil action that will cause u to hit ur head on the trampoline, which is quite painful cos of the jerk to the neck. so ya i actually tried quite a few times and ended up aching the whole of the next day.

there was also this ninja warrior section with a few obstacles and stuff like the steps, jumping spider, warped wall, and some running thing, which was quite fun haha. so ya, its kinda expensive ($22 for 1 hour), but its something to try at least once ba, and its pretty thrilling haha.

i also went to a club for the first time on thursday to support one of my friends from inspirar camp in the bash pagaent. was quite different from what i expected, and ya zouk looks alot nicer than i imagined haha. the sound was also not blaringly loud like the foc camp, so it was actually quite nice. the bash programme itself was quite boring but we got free drinks cos all the tickets entitled us to one, so i got margarita, which was quite nice. seems like im someone who likes to drink sweet cocktails haha

i'm not going to become some clubber though haha, cos its still not my kind of thing, and after the event u can like see alot of ppl outside the club vomitting and lying on the floor dead af. self-control :/. my group din't really drink much so we went for late night dim sum, and got a free ride home haha (nice to know someone who can drive).

school started this week and i found it quite fun ba. some lessons were damn sian cos i can't stand course descriptions, and i have like quite alot of fluff mods this sem :/. i enjoyed my IS mods though, one is java coding, the other is IT case studies (presentation mod, but i like the topics). but other than that, lessons are quite sian haha, takes me a bit of discipline not to fall asleep :/

hanging out as a group with my meta camp people after lessons were quite fun, cos we just talk about stuff, buy and eat food together, hear stories from the seniors and sometimes disturb each other abit. almost everyone else is like quite siao on about the work though, like reading textbook, doing more exercises than necessary, making notes etcetc. probably cos its the first week.

im like taking it kinda chill, because there's really only a few articles to read and for java a few videos and self check quizzes to complete, but yea i started doing abit for the upcoming projects liao (because i tio so many fluff mods D:). ended up eating dinner in sch quite alot, and burning all my money haha. met up with loo once or twice too cos its nice to know someone ur familiar with haha.

so yea uni seems kinda manageable for now, though there's this one mod where i'm kinda dreading the project cos need to liase with some external company and solve some problem for them or something. eeeyer. but it'll be okay ba haha. i'm good at being optimistic lol.

can't wait for cca's to start cos after lesson hours are still quite sian. i definitely can't just take lessons and go home that's just too boring lol. waiting for cca fair next week, and my top choice is sound foundry, which is the band cca, cos jamming is fun :). and then i have been considering funk (some dance cca related to popping), cos the workshop was fun, but i still don't really know if i should try.

there's also this isports interest group where they actually play jap mahjong haha. i won't even call it a cca anymore cos its like purely recreational (got bridge, mahjong and poker). went for the tryout session last friday, and yea it was damn chill and shuang haha.

dunno whether its possible to jio pin and the rest of them over cos they have not many ppl who can play, but that'll be damn fun haha. so ya i also considering to join isports haha. so yea, i'm kinda looking forward to the next week of uni. hope i can stay motivated throughout the term and have fun.

k that's all for this random post. bye~~
