Next Season, Probably.

okay, i didn't make it.
2000metres in 480seconds was too challenging for me.
i wanna go for runs already!
needa improve my much-criticised stamina.

i'm still waiting.

Chance Was Blown.

soccer trials' on saturday.
3pm at republic polytechnic .
GOD-DAMNIT!
why do they put more importance on stamina rather than skills?!

star trek is described in two words.
rather mundane. :D

Another Stupid Rant.

I SWEAR THAT WAS THE FINAL STRAW.
first ever table tennis training session was great!
I'M LEAVING IT UP TO YOU NOW.

I Couldn't Foresee That.

it's been yet quite a while again.

regarding the previous post, it probably wasn't what you guys think it is.
it almost got me and my two other friends into real deep shit.
and it has something to do with the relevant authorities, in the form of the POLICE.
godamnit.

as you guys already know, ARSENAL's season ended on wednesday's morning. (6thmay)
i ****-ing hate to admit this, but arsenal was really beaten soundly by manchester united.
First Leg : MANU 1-0 ARS
Second Leg : ARS 1-3 MANU
but there's always the rest of the premier league matches to look forward to.
including titanic clashes with Man United (NOT AGAIN!) and Chelsea.
as mouth-watering the matches will sound, arsenal do not have anything to play for except for third place.
i will be watching the final, fret not.

on academic stuff, school's taking a toll on me.
reaching home jaded and worn out appears to be the routine almost everyday.
in RP, you are graded everyday. (with A, B, C, D, F)
you are judged based on your participation in class and your Reflection Journal (RJ).
contributing key ideas in class, presenting to the class and faciliator confidently and having a really good RJ puts you pretty much in for a big, big A.
remaining withdrawn and quiet in class and presenting a shitty RJ to the faciliator would confine you to a not-so-good C or maybe even a D.
F would be reserved for those serious offences.
RJ is written after lessons everyday and is almost similar to writing an english composition.
as a result, it zaps the brain juice out of me, making me discouraged for a blog update.
so don't expect me to produce a blog update out of nowhere during a weekday. (except for fridays)

I got into the table tennis team in RP too.
passed the trials with considerable ease, i would say.
still awaiting the trials for the soccer team in RP.
sad thing is that they are focusing on stamina, skills are secondary.
need a good few runs over the next few days.
and OF COURSE, if i get into the soccer team, i would quit table tennis.
as only one competitive sport CCA is allowed for one person.
table tennis is only kinda used as a backup, just in case my soccer dreams were to falter.
will be awaiting 15-16 May; dates of the trials.

i put down a million bucks for an 'Adam Lambert - Danny Gokey' final.
hahahahaha.

currently listening to: Kristy, Are You Doing OK? by The Offspring.

You Wouldn't Get This.

and this story goes like this ...

we were FALSELY ACCUSED.

that's about it.
and i don't want any more trouble.
''stay AWAY from her!'' i would say.
*shivers with fear*

The Big Five-Zero.

Okay, allow me to wrap up this week in a short and sweet post.

Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal was a 'INCREDIBLE' game.
Arshavin scored all 4 goals for arsenal.
shan't say more. =D

life in RP seems to be comparable to a roller-coaster ride.
some days were just pure fun & enjoyment while the others were really dry and mundane.
loved 'science' & 'enterprise' but 'mathematics', 'problem solving' and 'communication practice' were pretty much, a bore.

back to IAN's question.
problem-based learning is about having a problem a day.
and you have to solve it within the day in groups of fives.
at the end of the day, you have to come up with a presentation with your group to show the class your answers.
after all groups have presented, the faciliator reveals the answers at the end of the day.
and there is like, presentations EVERYDAY for 3 years.
most of the work in RP are done in groups instead of individually and there is basically no homework.
feel free to ask more questions if the need arises. (:

having a 'field soccer match' tmr.
Kallangroar FC vs BBDC.
totally short of stamina nowadays due to the always hectic poly life.
8.30am to 3.30pm every single day.
had no chance whatsoever for a workout.
and everytime i head home from school, i would be REALLY jaded.
SO! playing as a striker tmr, one of the rare moments.
cus usually i would play as a left winger. so excited! hehe.
time/place is 5pm at dunearn sec.

okay maybe this post wasn't short and sweet but who gives a damn really.
HAHA.

as the title says, the picture above says it all.
and the thing is, it actually happened right below my house.
how dumb can one actually be, i wonder.

and i'm still trying to get used to RP's learning style.
if you do not already know, RP uses a method called 'Problem-Based Learning' (PBL) for all of its students.
