27/8

It was really a torture waking up today. My throat felt really bad, much worse than it did at the beginning of the week. Must be the result of sleeping 4-6 hours per day this entire week. Really compromising my recovery. I need to sleep! Shall do so today, though might be sleeping late. I really wanna complete some work. And settle that damn PHSTAT installation. Bootcamp ): Damn slow.

Had Creative Thinking project meeting. We're supposed to come out with a performance using sound/movement to illustrate what we think creativity is. I think our idea is pretty novel. But because I left early, my group very conveniently gave me a very shitty role. "Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?" WTF :/ How the hell am I gonna act that out?! Not like they care.
Had my OCIP interview today. I think it went fine but... They're looking for 17 people out of a pool of 67 people? Hmm, I wonder if I will make it. And we all signed up in hopes that most of us will get selected and we can go together. So fun. Anyway, I think I am moderately experienced in CSP. Under Project Sunshine, we will be visiting a village in Laos to educate the villagers in the English language, as well as to build a well and refurbish the village school. I remember in AC's Interact Club, I had to do CIP at an after-school care centre. The kids there were from broken families, troubled. They really took it out on us. And most of them have ADD. It wasn't easy at all teaching them. Sometimes I dreaded going there each week. They also made me handle the most difficult kid there cos the lady thought that I was good at disciplining him compared to other volunteers. Honestly, I was quite afraid of him. He was rude, he was violent. But the day I heard that he passed his PSLE, I was really overwhelmed by emotions. So people, don't call me NO LOVE. I am an emotional creature at times ok?! The experience was unforgettable. It will be much more work, and I would need to dedicate more time on other things other than my studies, but I think it'll be worth it (: Yup, it will definitely be!

I can't wait for Muay Thai again next week! And if I'm free on Friday, I might head down to free fence. Didn't do so today cos was feeling so so sick in the day. But after my mini workout just now, I feel slightly better already.

2 X 20 push ups
8 x 20s/10s squats
4 X 20 bicycle crunches

Mmm, how coincidental is it that my TA for LTB is Fencing captain?! I guess my only reservation about joining the school team now is that SMU only offers Epee, and I am a true blue foilist! Yes, Epee is easier in many ways. Target area is nearly doubled, no need to parry risposte to get points. But I really love foil. I think the extra restrictions in the rules make it much more challenging, and therefore, fun! I wanna catch a Fencing competition soon! Shall ask my TA when the next one is (:
Competitive Muay Thai? I think Muay Thai is the thing for me now. But I will see how it goes, maybe I will choose to do it competitively rather than just a casual kinda thing in school. I have "violent" tendencies. HAHA!
