been feeling so lazy and lethargic. like a pile of bullcrap. and i really hate myself for it. a thousand things i should be doing/want to do and yet i just don't have the energy or mind to do it. heck i'm too damn lazy to blog as well. don't know why also. i hate it when a day's gone by without anything accomplished.

i haaaate myself.

crime#1. i skipped hall freshie orientation, which lasts the whole of this week, and left my roommate to join it alone. despite all my excuses about not wanting to join because i had to settle my army disruption on monday which coincided with the start of orientation, and that i had had no time to draw my hostel keys and move my stuff in due to army commitments, ultimately i missed out on a good experience only because the main reason was that i wanted to rest for 1 miserable week and do stuff i wanted to before school starts. in the end, it's still not turning out to be a fruitful week with nearly nothing done anyway. and i feel guilty towards wk for dumping him alone, especially after his call just now. well when school starts and everybody's already banding together and there's nobody who wants to know me, i think i deserve it anyway.

crime#2. school starts on monday and i know nuts about everything.
i haven't been doing much reading up on my course details and say, offers for notebooks. and i still don't quite understand the academic structure either. if i haven't had people constantly reminding me to 'check this site' and 'pay that fee', i think i'd be dead meat now. anyway i got this off the ntu website..under admission criteria for communication studies - "..you should have excellent a-level grades, and possess good oral and written linguistic skills". wtf? like, nothing could be further from the truth with respect to myself. i'm hoping i didn't just screw up my life by joining a course that doesn't suit me.

crime#3. i'm supposed to move into the hall this week. not all my stuff packed.
what is wrong with me man?!

anyways. if i had blogged earlier about a list of (trivial) things i wanted to do this week before school started, this would probably have been it:
> renew pdl
> go to macritchie treetop walk
> experience safra mount faber, especially swimming pool
> exercise (either run/swim/gym)
> shop (get my jeans and stuff i need for school)
> watch serials on my comp - 鬥魚, 戰神, trick, beach boys
> ktv
> watch the island

well actually we did go to the treetop walk on tuesday. great day out. checked.
the weather wasn't so good. for most of the time there was a fine drizzle. but anyway jason and poon said the reservoir looked more mystical that way with the haziness.

anyway the walk through the trail (for approximately 5km)to the treetop walk got more and more sian. but we pulled through and made it.

acting cutesy again. actually it was nothing compared to the valley of the giants treetop walk in perth, which is like more than 60m above ground level if i do not remember wrongly. but still, the effort was worth it. it's about as good as you can get, here in singapore. after that we didn't want to trek all the way back to macritchie park, which would amount to more than 10km in all, so we exited at the nearest main road which wasn't that near anyway. we had a late lunch at sembawang hill fc (mental note: the pig organ soup is good lah. to try the chwee kuey next time.) anyway i think next time must try the boardwalk path also, cuz the view of the reservoir should look good.

safra mount faber's swimming pool closed due to the chlorine leak incident. sigh. totally strike out.

no time to exercise + always wake up too late + no motivation. unchecked.

don't even think i have time for the rest. at least i hope the other plans for ktv and the island come through. i am such a sucker for sci-fi movies.
