Damn if the arena existed 3 years ago, I could have been on it. haha. but anw i m sorely dissappointed by the arena - at least based on (probably) the one and only episode i would be watching. i thought that ri's loss was purely due to a lack of strategy on their part, for they did not take the side of the opposition to their advantage and proven their case more cohesively. ri's performance wasnt impressive unfortunately and they focused on the nitty gritty rather than the big picture. and sadly they werent adapting to the format of the competition for them to be more aggressive and stylish! with usual styles of debating focussing on the technical side of things much more than the entertainment value, perhaps ri should have taken this opportunity to have fun being more funny than they would otherwise have in other competitions. o well have much to say but perhaps considering what i was like their age, perhaps i am thinking too much of what i would be doing now. rather than what i would have been doing aat 15. o well about time debates are televised again but i dont really like the format of scores cos it makes debating sound individualised than really, a team sport. as imran puts it, they have bastardized debating.

but o well a different format of debating that you have to work with.

the enlistment date draws nearer so =( but past few days i guess have been good cos in the past one week i have almost seen/caught up with most of the people that i would want to meet up with so that's good haha. yea the only good thing about onite was the chance to see many many members of the oteam that i havent managed to see since prom, or maybe even when school closed. so tt's good. and although house comm dinner was kinda short, it's still good to get to see most of them that night (:. O well house comm does hold many memories and i do hope they all liked the card, which is probably the last card i would be doing for quite some time, 11th card i have done - excluding the 3w bookmark and one of my favourites haha.


the only complete house comm 'photo'. haha.

and i am almost ready for ns! Just hair and fitness level to be settled now. but fitness no hope alr so am preparing to be slower than others. like what's new haha. army shopping was interesting to say the very least - i hv no idea y aysuria found it so funny though. and my new black specs, despite making me look weird, have allowed me entry into the black specs club. haha. good lunch too ytd haha. thanks chang and congrats on entering oxford haha (though this is pretty late)!


zul shaved his hair off after that

lunch + movie today was good. and thank you snee for the wonderful christmas present. and can anyone guess what the 4 letters mean? haha. guess it right and i will treat you to a drink!



haha. and kangs too thank u for the prezzie haha. confessions of pain is an ok movie i suppose. predictable plotline, i managed to conclude the whole story halfway thru and the acting wasnt as spectacular as i had hoped it would be. direction i thought however was above average, and the way they pieced everything together was somewhat interesting. i liked the way they told the story, but not the story. a satisfactory movie overall, but not the best i have watched the entire year. but had a good time today, though as usual i was late haha.

more than dread really, i am approaching ns with more apprehension than fear, with some tinge of excitement. it's going to be extended atc as lawrence puts it, but its more of the unknown than i am apprehensive about. it's a certainty i suppose. so rather than convince myself i am going to spend the worse 1 year 10 months of my life, why not just say it will be an interesting 1 year 10 months of my life. and the countdown will begin soon haha.
