after the whole of RLP

holy im not even going to defend myself for not blogging. im just lazy. lazy. had plenty of free time as its dmp but yea im just lazy =p

heres a list of things that has happened:
1. OIP Hue over (2nd to 14th September - http://www.oiphue2008.wordpress.com/)
2. RLP over
3. DMP (almost) over
4. spamming of carrom + spore + civ 4 + dota + whatever else

thats quite a bit, about 1 month since ive not updated. most significant thing that has happened is 1 and 2. RLP OVER! Good and bad news. Good news: im back home in the comfort of my lovely bed and computer. Bad news? No more waking up at the time when people are already at Raffles Square waiting for morning assembly and no more burning the midnight oil to la-, oops i meant study.
as a pioneer batch of RLP, it certainly went quite well. 6 weeks in total, 2 weeks overseas. fantastic time to bond with the other leaders in RI through living together, and i have met FAAAAANNNNTASTIC people. thanks for all the memories, and it was nice meeting new and amazing people. the boarding experience was also new, quite cool living around all the scholars and finding out the amazing talents they have (like in pool and piano. i do not mean swimming pool btw). and of course not forgetting the lanning sessions in shaun choo and chin jie's room every night since OIP ended.

OIP Hue 08. First oip trip of the year, amazing. Met so many new people from Vietnam, found out all the scandals of Sec 4s who went there last year, lived with Vietnamese and eating with them every day. walking to NTP, taking the coach, talking cock with the Vietnamese, hearing Bhargav's rubbish, storing photos on my laptop; i'll miss all these. thanks Thinh and family for being amazing hosts to me and choo. i'll never forget all of you. to find out more about what we did there, the blog would be useful. http://www.oiphue2008.wordpress.com/


woah DMP. first time and 2nd last time i would have this amazing 2 weeks of slacking and plenty of free time to spam carrom and pon morning assembly with all the scouts in den. going to den every day for the past week just to play carrom and i must say i have improved quite a fair bit. hopefully catch up to zunjie. well, maybe by next DMP. anyway i took only 3 modules, as we all needed minimum 42 hours, and RLP gave 18 hours. so my modules were: 1. Understanding theories through playing computer games (aka having fun and slacking) 2. Sports Injury and Management 3. Nutrition for Sports. haha no real mugging ones, all very slack. but i must say the history course is really good, people enjoy it as there are games, and the theories are also learnt much easily. i myself learnt quite a lot of theories, like marxism, economic virtualism, MAD etc. and of course the games: Spores, Civ 3 and Rise of Nations. Spore was a big fav due to being a very very new game, released early September. And now almost everyone i know plays it or wants to play it. hehe i myself have it, and i played till Space stage and didnt feel like continuing. Anyway for the other modules, the nutrition was quite interesting, learnt some stuff that would be relevant to my training. sports injury had a bit of relevance, but it was mostly meant for those in sports CCA as they had more injury, especially judo, right chin jie? tuesday, DMP will end and proper lesson will start again. BORING!

whats coming up next? EOYs of course. most people are mugging like siao now, im still enjoying myself and playing a lot. havent studied at all, believe me. played spore, civ 4, dota. civ 4 quite fun now that ive played it, wanna play again =p but i have the feeling of uselessness and zibei, when im not studying and EOYs in 2 weeks, everyone else studying. hate that feeling, but then again im soooo detached from school that i cant bring myself to study. have to wait till school starts proper. i know that its an excuse, but i need to believe in that so i wont feel so bad.

sorry for not having pics, dont feel like finding which to upload. have a good day!
