Shopping + Movie with NPWushu.
Reached Orchard at 2pm+. Saw Hui Ling and Hong Ming there already. Waited for Jun Jie, Yuling, Issac, Louis and Catherine. Went to have lunch first at Sakae. Didn't eat much as there was no buffet special due to public holiday. After that, the shopping spree began. We walked around Ion Orchard as some of them wanted to get some winter clothing for the Anhui trip. Head over to Uniqlo and wasted quite some time there. Bought a shirt from there. After that we walked around again and Tze Yuan joined us. Yuling left at 6.30pm. At 7pm, we reached the Shawhouse to see if there is any movie available. Eventually we decided on Ninja Assassin which was M18 and we managed to get tickets for all. Went to find a place to eat at Takashimaya but due to the large crowd, we could only settle down at Mos Burger. After our meal, the group of us walked around while waiting for the movie to start. Somehow Ninja Assassin doesn't interest me that much after watching it. Walked around a while before we took the train home.

BBQ @ Eenexx house.
Went over to Eenexx condo for BBQ together with a few of the YHSS wushu people. Nothing much done actually, other than BBQing and chatting. Towards 8pm+, Peilin, Hwee Leng, Pei Shi, Brandon and Yi Xiang left, only left Donovan, Chee How, Le Ying, Si Pei, Jian An, Eenexx, her brother, her sister and her boyfriend. We continue to BBQ the food until Zheng Jie and Jun Ming came. Stayed on a while and it was 10pm. We started to clear up everything and talk about some ghost stories. After clearing up, we head up to Eenexx house to put some of the stuff that can still be used there. Left at about 11.30pm.

Nearly one week since the last post.
Saturday
Met up with Hui Ling and Xiao Kai at GV Yishun to watch 2012. Overall not a bad show except for the ending part. After that, we met with Hong Ming and went Popular to get some stuff. Made our way down to the bus stop near Catherine's house after we were done with our stuffs. The others were waiting for us, mainly a few of the OP Wushu and NP Wushu people plus 3 of Catherine's friends. We sneak in to Catherine's house and she was like still oblivious of so many people in her house. We then all surprise her at her door with a Happy Birthday song. After the song, we sat around her house and watch some TV and videos. We also ordered KFC over. Sat around, played a few rounds of Truth or Dare, Zhong Ji Mi Ma, Dai Di. Some had left early while the remaining of us stayed on until around 2am+. Catherine's dad sent us to Yishun MRT and we took cab home.
Sunday
Supposedly had some volunteer work to do. In the end, did not go for it. Met up with Guo Hong, Jasper and Adalia at Bugis. Played arcade and LAN. Walked from Bugis to Suntec City and upon reaching Suntec, we wanted to cross over to Marina Square by the Convention Center but due to the APEC meeting, we had to walk one big around to enter Marina Square. Had our dinner at Xin Wang Cafe. As usual, after the meal, we had the usual walk to Raffles Place MRT before going home.

Sometimes I do wonder if I made the right choice to get into MMA.
It all began from Year 1. I learned a lot of things that I never got to learn in Secondary School or in other courses. One of my favourite module was DPM where we got to learn how to take good photographs. Other than that, all my other modules were not really much of my interest. DRF was a hard one for me. My Art has been constantly getting poor grades from primary school to secondary school. I manage to get a 'B' for that module because the lecturer that taught us care more about how we improved instead of drawing really good drawings. I feel that I let the lecturer down because after so long, I still can't draw well. GDF was another killer. I myself can't really design well. As for the programming modules: PDA and PSP, I started out knowing nothing to being able to make a simple flash game through programming. It got me a little more interested in this area.
Start of Year 2. Things start to get tougher. I got to learn 3D modelling and making visual effects. It was fun to learn all these new things. I especially like 3D modelling as I had been quite impress by how people can make a virtual object look so realistic. But when it comes to doing it, I did not fare very well for it. I couldn't complete some of my assignments on 3D modelling on time. Also, my 3D models weren't very nice as well.
It is almost to the end of Year 2 soon. Right now, I still can't complete my assignments for DDI. It isn't much of a work, but the expectations of the graphics is just too much for me. I have the ideas for making it nice, but when it comes to practical, I just can't seem to portray it out. Currently having to design a banner and application but yet I still have not completed either one. I guess I'm prepared to retake this module.
Maybe it wasn't a wise choice to have come into this course. I'm just sorry to have let all my classmates down.

Finally IVP is over.
All the intense training finally paid off. NP won the overall first this year.
Friday
Quickly head down to the Loft after my IS lesson. Put my things down and then waited for the lorry to come down. Made our way to SP to collect the carpet. Thankfully there was some SP wushu people to help us move the carpet up the lorry. Upon reaching back NP, we move the carpet out of the lorry and the SP people head back with the lorry. It was like left with eight of us to move the carpet to the hall. Fortunately, there were some people who came to help us out to move the carpet. Once done, it was around 7pm+. We then head back to the loft to rest a while before heading out to the market for dinner. Went back to the sports hall and then we waited until the hall was clear before we set up the hall for IVP. Everything ended around 11.30pm. Changed out at the Loft and slept at around 2am+.
Saturday
Woke up at 7am. We had to reach the sports hall before 8am. The whole event began at 9am+. Can't really remember much. For my event, a lot of people did not do very well. I was lucky enough to get a 2nd place. End of the competition, SP came in 3rd, NYP came in 2nd and NP won first. End of the day, we celebrated back at the Loft with Ritz pizza delivery and KFC. After that, some of us had nothing to do so we stayed up to play Zhong Ji Mi Ma and whoever said that number will be made to say a truth. Slept at around 2am.
Sunday
Some people had left the day before and it was only left with me, Wayne, Hong Ming, Li Ting, Hui Ling, Catherine, Hong Kun and Yuling. We all woke up at around 9am+ and the person in charge of the loft came to chase us out and we had to clean up the whole place in half an hour. We had our breakfast of Fruit Loops at clubhouse before heading home.

Is back from training camp.
Day 1: Training as per normal with Coach Liu. After training, we went to KAP to get some food back to the Old Childcare for dinner. Slept at around 2-3am.
Day 2: Woke up at around 8am but a lot of people dragged on to 9am to wake up. Then we had breakfast at canteen 2 before training started at 11am. Did fen duan and full routine. Had a short break until 2.30pm before we continued for afternoon training. Played CS during the break. Left at around 6pm to get to my cousin's birthday at Home Team Academy there. Nothing much to do there except eating. Left at 9.30pm and made my way back to school after the cake cutting. When I reached back school, the back gate was locked. Climbed over the fence as I was lazy to walk one big round to the main entrance. Changed out and then we had a few games of CS with Catherine joining us in a few games. At around 11pm, we were deciding on what to eat as Isaac was hungry. In the end we didn't ordered anything as almost all the fast food delivery ended at 11pm except McDonalds. Some went to sleep while the rest of us were playing cards. Nothing much to do. Chat with Hui Ling, Catherine, Hong Ming and Xiao Kai before we slept in.
Day 3: Woke up at 6.30am as some wanted to go out early to eat breakfast. In the end, we dragged on to 8am while Ah Yang came with our breakfast nearing 9am. Training eventually started at 10am as Coach Liu was late. Quite intensive training. At 12pm, we were released and rest for a while before we started packing up and clearing the place. Had our lunch at the market before going home.
THe aftermath of the intensive training.
