This year's Camp was somewhat different from last year's.
Missing Items:
1. Slack Line
Well its good to have a slack line around. Introduce the juniors to the art of balancing!!!

2. Rapelling
Yeah this one has always been an issue. It was an illegal activity to begin with. But nonetheless thrilling!!!

3. Pageant X
The time to make the juniors do funny things!! haha wish it had happened though!!

New items:
1. Climbing Carnival
Very fun!!! with all the routes!!

2. Intelligent games
Creative too!!! like techchew backstabbing his "team" haha and the string game!!

Items that should be excluded:
1. Chin Yuen's lecture. UP YOURS!!!

Yes please dun invite him here anymore. He spoils the mood. Makes everyone sian. Along with all the unnecessary vulgarities. Well I for one dun are if you freaking building this place. Yes you deserve respect for what you have done and the respect that you are getting now is all that you are going to get. Dun use the tiles that you have donated as an excuse, or an incentive. No one asked you to give it to us. You did it voluntarily. Do not demand things from us. Especially the key, if you so happen to duplicate the key, which you are not supposed to, trust me, for there are a number of us, who will not hesitate to shove that key up your ass, along with the other tiles that you so generously exchanged for the HRT hangboard which you have taken without even asking first.




zzz waste my time... goodnight everyone

Pre-Camp:

Its been a week since I last updated. Been super busy last week with 2 CAs but thankfully they are all over!! Some updates before the camp started.

Firstly and foremost, I thank my angel for writing to me! I received not 1, but 2 letters straight! Yes I was happy to know that I ain't being left out of the game. Whether it was those crying faces on my msn nick, or a certain somebody who went to bug her as a forfeit, or just plain guilt, it doesn't matter. Thank you for writing so regularly. I enjoyed writing to you too!! Though I would prefer if you did not write "ROCMOC" in the letter because it takes the fun away from guessing who you are.

The Real Letters


Secondly, I would like to thank my fake angel for writing to me. Haha Charlene and Daniel!! Nice one there. Well at least your kind efforts and consideration did not to go waste. I admit that I was in kind of a shock, but then not really shocked too. I just look at it and thought "wow bikini eh? ok" without thinking much. It was only after weighing the possibilities of my angel wearing a bikini and comparing beautiful handwriting (Angel) with somewhat not so good handwriting (no offence Dan) did I realise that something was fishy. Haha but nonetheless, thank you! You guys made me happy, for a few hours.

The Fake Letter:


Thirdly, I was at Timbre at the Arts House on a Friday night. It is a very nice place! But I guess that night was extra special because there was this Timbre Music Festival. The live band that was performing was really good! Accompanied by the fact that I was with a few climbing friends from my batch, all that gossiping and heart to heart talks. The ice cold beer and pizza, downing 1 pint of Edinger in 5 mins so that I can catch the last train. Lets do this some time again in the near future!

Its been almost a week since the angel mortal game has started. I have already written 2 letters to my mortal with the 3rd one being posted later today.. BUT BUT BUT!!! my angel has not written to me yet!!! why why why? please write to me!!! i see the box inside the gym crammed with letters but none for me!!! i even mistook yixiong's letter to be mine till i read the name carefully... oh well, whichever the case, i am gonna write to u first!! grrrr

i am beginning to vary my style of climbing... i wanna be a techical climber, not an explosive climber. however, its hard to strike a balance. or maybe cuz i aint used to it yet... climbing slowly will no doubt take more energy... and being techical means paying a lot more attention to my footwork, positioning and technique... so i guess the initial part will see me falling off quite easily since i will tired out much faster than usual... but then again, being technical is different from climbing slowly.. i have to learn to climb efficiently too.. maybe what jups says is right. i have to relearn my climbing... and i shall start from scratch.. anyways i cant do hard routes due to my injury... well i can climb if i wanted to but then it would jeapordise my recovery phase... oh well, shall see how it goes...

I realised that I have 2 tests next week, one on wednesday and one on thursday. i am not so worried about the thursday one, since its mcq and its an interesting module called Einstein's Universe and Quantum Weirdness. The one on thursday is a 2 hr class test which involves essay writing. 2 in fact.. argh i am so gonna die.. what makes matters worse is that the last lesson for that day is my 4-6 tutorial!! no break!!! 5 hrs straight!! ah well.. fated anyways.. lets do our best yeah?

went for blood donation today.. think in total, i have donated about 5-6 times? not a lot but at least better that some pussies who just refuse to donate blood... not sure if many people know but well, i kinda like seeing my own blood.. haha while others look away with trembling hands as the nurse takes ur blood during secondary school, i will just stare at the needle going in.. well not to show that i am macho or anything but just that it doesnt affect me... haha

some pictures:
my blood

oops, sorry blog. like my galileos, i have neglected u. i sincerely apologise. haha

school is in to its 5th week already. time really flies here in NUS. in the blink of an eye, my 3 months holiday are gone!!! Now that i think about it, i feel that i really missed krabi and that i didnt make my 3 weeks there fulfilling. i so wanna go there again next vacation. and i am gonna climb everywhere!!! high or low. try everything possible. do multipitch and of course, deep water solo.

been running and running and running all the time now. I clocked 2 hrs 15 mins for the 21.95km Army Half Marathon and 57 mins for Nike+ Human Race 10km. Now all my focus is gonna be on the 42.195km Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. It will be my second full marathon and i certainly hope to perform better than my previous timing of 6 hrs 25 mins. but with a well written training program by running pro claudia, I am sure i can improve my timing by maybe 1hr? haha of course i have to follow it strictly. shall see how it goes.

The climbing team welcomed a total of 16 freshies to the team! 1 open man, 3 intermediate men, 3 intermediate women, 4 novice men and 5 novice women. They are a pretty fun bunch and i am sure they will get stronger very quickly training in NUS.

at this point of time, i have no idea what i should do. should i climb hard? or should i just slack off? well slacking off has never been in my dictionary when climbing is concerned... its just that this tendon of mine cant seem to completely heal. if i feel pain hanging open handed on the campus board, well it means that i shouldnt hang on the campus board.. i just hope that it recovers before end of this yr. i desperately wanna get stronger.. seeing everyone around me already stronger than i am. what is this open men label? well i guess its a very good excuse to just do the bare minimum for training.. and its not something that i would normally do. but at this time, what other choice do i have...

please recover mr tendon..
