where the lion walks on three legs
i'm proud of the guys' team, that they tried, just as i'm proud of the girls' team that we tried. i know that it's disappointing when you know you didn't put in your best, cos the opponent overwhelms you and you start to crumble inside and you have pressure building up on our back. for girls, it's easy -- the outlet is for tears to flow, and sobs to magnify; for guys, they'll hold back, and maybe just as well, so they don't seem weak to others. or perhaps, they are experienced -- they know the feeling of losing, and it's just another learning point to take home for them. we had a close fight for our fourth game, but we conceded it to our opponents in the end. the scoreline was one-sided. wednesday 4th may will be our attempt to push nj squash one more step up the ladder. never should we lose grasp of infinite hope. nus found this quote by martin luthur king, something that goes .. we must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. the lion on three still stands tall; why shouldn't we put up a fight and make this lion count?
the only two interviews that i attended were, according to meiting, the better ones. and both of them are in the run for interact ex-co. :) and again, interact and squash have to fall on the same day. :
-tuesday-
yoz! shujun, nus and i are presenting our findings on pascal triangle tml! n nus did a super cool transparency completed with cool colours specially for this presentation. i'm like wow. haha. shujun suggested singing twelve days of christmas to perk our presentation. but she's leaving the job to nus, and opted to do the derivation of pascal triangle. i'm doing fibonacci's series, which i only know starts with two 1s, and each number in the series is the summation of the two numbers that went before it. sounds interesting?
we're going down to support the guys' match at kallang. skipping chemistry again. sometimes i really don't know if i can do chemistry, or that i'm just copying and pasting lecture notes in my tutorials. i'm usually around for math, but i find myself in the same fix. i can't do probability, and permutation and combination is quite a confusion -- it's really a 50-50 chance that i get the sum right. there's also the interviews for our successors for interact! yay! i can't wait for that. don't think i'll b there for every interview cos i'll be at kallang in the afternoon, but i should be able to catch some action if i rush back just in time.
okies. a short update on what we did for sunday's meeting. lc members did not obey orders! it's supposed to be lunch together. but anyway, we all ate together. the food at secret recipes is ok, but i think we can get more value-for-money food at thai noodle place, if you know where that is. walked to the art musuem when we couldn't walk in plaza sing anymore. were contemplating if we should watch a movie before the price hike in movie tix from may. i want to watch millions! i think i said that a week ago, and i haven't caught the movie. and at the museum, we took a detour back to the mrt station where we hopped off the bandwagon one by one, after enjoying a few minutes of air-con. how unfriendly the weather of today's singapore. o yar! and the ominous sign -- our lc band broken. hope that meant nothing.
i read somewhere -- that our heart is without feeling. i wonder how true this can be.
