heyy,

term 2 starts tmrw!
one week of march hols past too fast.
i'm more or less done with the hols hw,
left some tutorial and assignment questions undone, too lazy to finish doing.

haven't watched a single movie this year yet, if i remembered correctly.
i wanted to, especially during the hols, but couldn't find the chance to.
'green zone' is on the top of my want-to-watch-movie list now.
it looks real interesting.

spent most of my march hols playing games on PC and doing hw.
went for training on wed and thurs.
played a friendly match with nyjc, they were good.
many injuries were inflicted on our team, i had a cramp and my ankle's a little pain.
perhaps it was the heavy lunch we had at subway, or the extra rounds we ran.
i lost steam after playing for a while.
but all in all, it was great exposure and experience.
have yet to get a feel on my floorball stick, haven't got the right technique to use the flex of the stick.
celebrated wenxuan's and supposedly yujun's bday, but yujun not there.
anw, happy belated bday to them.

ytd, went to nus for a floorball friendly called 'nus tenses'.
the organizers at nus wanted us to feel the culture of floorball at nus and hopefully join them in the future.
but there were only 5 of us who came that morning.
it was super tiring playing full 20 mins with no subs.
we played nj and they beat us 1-0.
then we received help from our facilitator, which happened to be my former psl's brother.
he asked 4 more ppl to play for us, so we had line changes this time.
but we were up against the nus alumni team.
they were really good and beat us.
learnt quite a lot that day.
had lunch at nus canteen, the food there big serving and cheap.
super value!

aft that went with class to catch a performance 'to kill a mockingbird' at the nlb.
it's the first, or maybe a long time, since i went to watch a play.
the show was captivating, as i could still remember the song they sang abt freedom now.
it's so different watching a play live, then watching it on tv.
the sound effects were "boom boom pow" cause we were seated near the front.
not that it was too loud, but i could feel the speakers and felt scared as if it would suddenly emit some great loud sound to scare us.
i understood the storyline, but couldn't really catch every word in their dialogue.
(there weren't subtitles, told you it was different from the tv)
they talked quite fast though or is i'm too slow to catch the words.
the female actor was quite pretty also.
anw, enjoyed the performance as it was a great experience altogether.
ate dinner with class at pomo. jap food, ate it the wrong way though
i didn't mix the sauce with the chicken and it turned out too salty in the end.

tday went shopping with family.
it was pouring as usual in the late afternoon.
bought new shoes. the sole of my old one tore.
ate a hearty dinner near queensway.
the bbq stingray there was rly nice.

school starts tmrw.
so does napha (gulp) and floorball a'div season (cheer!)
hope everything goes well for everybody in term 2.
have some serious catching up to do for GP and econs in this new term.

alright, gtg.
take care and sweet dreams.
bbye.

heyy,

its the end of another week,
the end of term one alr.
how time flies.

it was raining outside just now,
pouring heavy rain.
but now the rain has stopped, the weather's nice and cool now.
perfect time to do some self-reflection on this term.

i remember being motivated to do well at the start of the term.
constantly pushing myself to finish the tutorials and assignments.
haha, must say i did spend some time in the library doing homework,
while i was waiting for floorball training to begin.
i had some difficulty learning new stuff this year.
like for chemistry and math.
but with the help i sought from my classmates, i did understand them in the end.
i'm one slow learner and i always compared myself with ppl are fast learners,
maybe i lost some confidence in myself there, i was worried that i couldn't keep up with the lessons and stuff.
nevertheless i still enjoyed understanding things, which were taught in school, at home by myself.
i enjoyed figuring out how certain equations were derived and solving tutorial questions at home.
but i found myself pressed for time mostly, with training and homework.
studied hard for tests, and found that tests contained new styles of questions.
my grades weren't very good this term too, i did very badly for GP.
so much to improve on next term.
more time management, spend more time practising questions and reading.
especially on reading more articles to improve GP.
now i begin to understand what mr tan meant last year by "year 5 really cannot slack."

wow, that was one long reflection.
but i really meant what i typed.
alright talk about smt else,
floorball!
we're going to have a friendly against NYJC this wednesday afternoon.
haven't won any friendly matches yet.
but i've certainly gained more experience from these matches and learnt new things too.
for the past trainings from the start of the term, coach has been teaching us new drills and strategies.
i guess i learn something new every training.
i know roughly how good or poor my stamina is, what are my weaknesses and strengths at trainings.
and every training has been fun too, i really enjoy playing floorball.

bought a new floorball stick ytd too!
went to valhall with junmin and pengfei.
junmin bought the same stick as yongzhi, while pengfei was kind enough to accompany us.
our sticks are from unihoc, and i had to decide very long ytd between the stick i bought and jm's stick.
when the 2 sticks look equally inviting, its very difficult to make a choice.
jm's stick had a striking colour which was nice. and it felt light too.
but in the end i chose another one which i thought was more suitable for me.
my stick is unihoc evo3 tws 26-29.
it is curly on one side, which gives it supposedly harder flex for harder shots,
while the other side was of a softer flex.
i haven't tried out the shots yet.
hope this is the stick which would stay with me till after next year's season close.

alright, gtg.
bye.

heyy,
