My oh my. You know I just readlized how much I enjoy waterpolo. Recently cos all the trainings have stopped and stuff cos of H1N1 etc, my interest seemed to be slowly slipping away and times spent at home always seemed so much more fruitful. However when training started I loved it. I love the PT, I love the teammates, I love the feeling of that rough waxy layer on a new ball and most importantly I love the game. Friendly with Hwa Chong on Friday showed me how far I've come in the game. I had a 1/21 shot conversion rate with Hwa Chong in C div '08. In that game, Kai Yang told me "just take 2 shots if you want". So I did, one in the first quarter and one in the last. Both went in. First time in my life a 100% conversion rate. Yes I know it's only 2 shots but it's showed me how much more I am now playing as a team player and everything else. I feel I have just improved so much after going for youth and everything it always spurs me on to do more and to do better when I see my results of training and hard work. Most of all, I can wear the Singapore waterpolo shirt with pride and know that I didn't get there by a fluke.

Today, I finally taped up my EOY schedule. While waiting for the laptop to boot up I stared at it. Just sat there and stared at that pink slip of paper, the dates, the times, the subjects. I just sat there and soaked everything into my bones. It dawned onto me, the EOYs are coming much faster than we could ever imagine. And this time, they're sorta coming with a vengeance. We've all moved from 6 subjects to 9, 10 or 11. For me, it's 10. And of these 10 subjects. 8 of them are examinable. (maths double weightage) Which means this year. I've got 8 subjects. Furthermore, english, chinese and math have 2 papers. That's 11 papers to take. Forgive me if I'm making you stressed out but let's face it. We have to start working ASAP. Furthermore, maths paper is upon ONE HUNDERED AND TWENTY. bet many of you didnt know that. paper 1 60 paper 2 60. paper 1 no calculator, teachers said its actually more difficult than paper 2. and i think so too. It's gonna be one heck of a ride. But at the end, let the trumpets sound and let the carpet roll, the Kings will be back.

Manzz, tons of tests gone and tons more up and coming. Maths etc. EOYS are drawing closer and closer too. Anyways at least my results are really supe consistent this term. No 4.0s but tons of 3.6s and 3.2s with the exception of a 2.4 for chinese xD Let's see errrr, English hasnt been shown yet so I won't count it in so there are a total of four 3.6s and three 3.2s! RI's new GPA system would allow me to get a 3.3 overall if English was 3.2 and a 3.35 if English was 3.6 so I'm rather elated since my PR 1 was only a 2.98 :D Wow, grades grades grades. Okay I'm in no mood to post history's on my mind. BYEBYE.
