Fear prevents someone from moving forward, yet at the same time it can motivate people too.
I'm afraid of all the tough times that are going to come. No. I don't want them. Yet it is inevitable.
Is the lesser of 2 evils considered to be good? My strength is failing even before the battle has started.
I can't stay like this. I will get up and pick up my sword and fight. Fight to the bitter end.
But I know that I will not be fighting this war alone. Hopefully by then, I will see the light once again.
Everyone has their evils to fight right?
What are you afraid of?

I hear people gathering outside on my level this minute, talking loudly and cheering and it made me come to a conclusion:
I don't like hall life.
Sad but true. I don't think that they are unfriendly or bad people, I think they are just the same as anyone but I just don't seem to want to be with them.
At the end of the day, everyone is just fighting to get into that recommendation list. I hate it when people are fake, when people do things for a hidden agenda. Hall is 黑暗.
I've finally had enough of this and don't wish to become the person I hate anymore. I'll just be myself and do things because I WANT TO
Lifeguard Committee is different. I'm in there because I like swimming and partly because I hope to get points to stay hall next year. I like the people here as well, I feel more at home with them because they are friends that I trust.

I managed to survive a 152 lap swim in 3 hours! It was no mean feat and I'm very proud of myself. It's another achievement that I'll relinquish for some time.
Although I did feel exhausted by the end of it, I didnt wake up the next day with the whole-body-sore kind of feeling that I get from my usual training. Perhaps I can try for more laps next year?
The experience was unique. One lane to swim over and one lane to swim back. At times the lane was so crowded, it felt like I was at a club.
All the jostling around was no fun especially when you accidentally take in a mouthful of water instead of air when someone swims past. Zzz..
The lap gifts were disappointing. For all my efforts I only got...
1. SPF 130 sunblock
2. Facial wash
3. $5 frolick voucher
4. Hair wax
5. Aloe vera gel
I heard last year they got potato chips! Sounds more useful to me =p Nevertheless, it was an interesting experience. I managed to test my endurance and push myself to the limits.
Conclusion: Swimming still rocks. Beats running anytime

Since my birthday was such a blast, I thought that it would be a waste not to write about it. So... Here are the events that happened on the 3rd Sept 2010:
- My babee called me at 12am and played a hamster/chipmunk version of the Happy birthday song and one more version then we chatted for a while
- I left to Jun Hua's room to play mahjong with Woon and the loser had to drink Martini. Poor JH, ended up drinking most of it =p
- Dragged myself out of bed to go for ushering duties and got a free goodies bag with a thumbdrive and a jacket for my babee
- Made my friends suck in helium and sing me the Happy Birthday Song! Damn funny. (Video suppose to be uploaded by my fat friend cheryl but she mia recently)
- Got shoes for my present from my friends!
- Went out to meet my dear at 15 minutes for light dinner. Got a surprise from her =D
- Went to Liquids cafe for second dinner with family and had a cheesecake as my bday cake
- Tried to reply all the messages on facebook but k.o-ed halfway through
-End-
Exciting right?? hahaha. My friends are awesome, and my dearest even more so ;) Thanks everyone for the well wishes and gifts =)
