Getting up before 8:00am during summer break should be a criminal offence.
i'm definitely convinced of that after waking up for coaching at the primary school nationals. today was the first day, and so far, we're doing ok. better than last year, but still lots of room for improvement. personally, i'm not entirely happy, because i still see really idiotic errors (like zero on first throw). but i suppose i can be sort of satisfied with their performance. considering that they're primary school kids who don't train regularly, it'll do.
the last time i fell majorly sick was in january, where i was incapacitated over a weekend due to the flu. i'm thankful that i've been in excellent health (physical injuries aside) for the semester. with such a long streak of non-illness, i'd actually be surprised if i didn't fall sick for the rest of the year. hence, i kind of expected that something would get me down about now. as it turns out, it's a minor stomach bug. except for a bit of pain now and then, i'm mostly ok. at this point in time, it's more of an annoyance than anything else. my boss hypothesized that the stress of nationals might be affecting me. if that's true, i think it's on a subconscious level, because i don't actively feel stressed over the competition. bleh. who knows how my mind works?
my forecasted plans from the last post were pretty accurate, with just a couple of modifications. i didn't end up going to school to search for the professor. instead, i gave him a call. turns out he's not offering UROPS positions this year. so...the prospect of me doing UROPS is fading fast. oh well. at least i have enough modules on standby.
another modification to the original plan was me having to pay a parking fine. apparently, my dad forgot to renew the car's season parking before he flew to vietnam. i was really surprised when i saw a parking ticket on the windshield. thinking that it was a mistake, i called up LTA, which directed me to HDB, where i found out about the expired season parking. so, there was a detour to settle all that somewhere along the way yesterday.
yesterday was also when i went to meet my cousin. we had dinner at parkway, then dessert at sogurt, and drinks at mr. bean. sogurt tastes strangely like frozen vitagen/yakult. i wonder if there's a relation? food aside, we also talked about various topics. something i notice is that the topic of investment and finance-related stuff tends to come up. not surprising, because that's his major. i've considered doing some investments and stuff like that, but i don't trust myself since i have zero knowledge about that sort of stuff. of course i know "buy low, sell high", or "buy high, sell higher". what i don't know is what's considered high and low. confusing.
the blogging mood suddenly evaporated. guess it's because i'm feeling tired despite skipping training and having a short nap this afternoon. planned events for the next 2 days will most likely go on normally, except that i have to do a bit more experimentation in the kitchen. other than that, that's it for now, i guess.
