Rowed today... without lifejacks! :x

Got even tan loh...

Then came the pullups.

Completed 340. ^_^

2.5 cycles of 1 min rest intervals, 10 min rest between cycle.

Right now my arms feel so funny. I didn't even get this feeling from the last 10 sets of 20.

Talked some more with the padawan today. Its funny how oblivious he is to his own situation. Hit the nail right on target. I hope this will light up the way for his future paths of thought.

I was reminded of The minister of education, mr tharman shanmugaratnam's ending speech during the poly forum. About how you need to truly enjoy what you are doing to excel beyind the boundaries of society's standards.

It was during that sponsored cruise onboard the super star virgo that the chosen few student leaders brainstormed and debated on how to improve the current education system. To us, it gave us hope, that the moe did see that something must be done about the system.

Some resented the current system, but sadly, because they saw themselves as victims. If you let streaming tell you how smart you are, you deserve to stay wherever you are, if you ask me. They could plea all they want in their case that they were emotionally damaged because they were late bloomers, deprived of the chances society offered others who excelled in different areas in different speeds; but no matter how you put it, it still sounds like an excuse to me.

You choose wherever you want to be, you choose how much to expect of yourself. Society can tell you all it wants, but ultimately, if you know what you want, you can set your path, but if you don't, then you'll be pushed along in the flow.

There were changes, but things that had to be left alone, were left alone in the system. I think the whole thing was an attempt on the ministry's part to buy us over anyway.

Anyway its the same thing for NS. Its the same thing for work, its the same thing for life.


Some people are just happy following the flow. I suppose there's no crime in that. Less competition anyway.

Some people want too many things, their values and priorities get so messed up.

Its interesting how IQ doesn't translate to EQ, regardless of how much you study.
