working with children never fails to cheer me up =) . being at kkh is really a joy for me. just that report writing is starting again and im not getting enough sleep. i must admit the lack of sleep is not all due to report writing lah...but working office hours really prevents one from having much social life...especially when u still have to write reports at night.
just finished lovers in paris. nice show...quite touching towards the end but still not as nice as full house :p . yea this is part of the reason why im not getting enough sleep.

back from mount ophir. it was really a disappointing trip. preparation wise, planning wise and attitude wise it was really bad. planning wise i dun want to mention coz i wasnt able to help as i was having my exams. preparation wise they are all "busy" ppl so they wasnt able to train so i will be understanding and wont blame them. but i was really disheartened(yes tats the word) by their attitude.
as i was so much faster than the rest of the group after coming down from summit to our base camp, i took only a sip of water b4 i started cooking lunch for the rest. i washed all the dirty mess tins from YESTERDAY dinner and started cooking lunch. when they came down, some ppl decided to take a bath in the stream so the rest of us ate first. when those ppl came to eat, i decided to go pack my bag so that we can break camp faster. after i packed my bag and came out of the tent i saw those ppl still sitting ard the meal area and chit chatting. so i went to relieve myself and when i came back they are in the tent packing their bags, leaving all the dirty mess tins there. i was damn pissed at this but i dun want to waste time so i went to help my friend wash all the mess tins. after washing the mess tins they were still packing their bags so i helped to wipe away the oil on the mess tins. by the time i finished wiping they have only just started on unpitching the tents so i went to help them again.
am i being taken for granted? i din even rest at all after the scaling the summit while they can bathe and chit chat and not wash their own utensils after eating. just because u're tired doesnt mean u can leave the dirty work to others. and isnt it ironic that u say mount ophir is too tough for the public(this is just a recce trip for the actual trip in june) when we saw a group of mainly 40 to 60 years old completing the journey. is it a factor of willpower or plain physical fitness? maybe its because of the high expectation i had. being experienced organisors of camps, i expected the trip to be more well-planned. having previous trekking experience, i expected them to be more fit. turned out that the 2 gers i brought last time was fitter when the only exercise they did was doing napfa. turned out that the planning was better done by a 19 yr old. yes...it must have been the high standards that have been set long time ago that made this trip disappointing. somehow i cant convince myself...

last paper tmr! so happy and tired that i cant bring myself to study. so far all the papers have been ok...either easier or within expectations except for rad anat. tink i really cant memorise stuff that well, especially when i have to memorise stuff that doesnt make sense and not linked. well u can argue that it would all make sense if i still remember my anatomy from yr 1. you can say all u want but it will make lesser sense to me to keep ALL that info in my brain.
just received news that i have to hand in all the yr 2 competency reports tmr. i am actually quite pissed abt this whole incident. firstly they should have inform us to keep all our competency reports right at the start of yr 2. then they told us a few weeks back that we might need all the reports again b4 we graduate so we should keep them. they changed their mind again on tue and said that they want all the reports by this week. not that we will throw again all our reports but at least they should let us know so that we would have put it in a better place. now i dont know if i can even find my reports. and they have to inform us at such short notice during our EXAM period. great~
leaving for mount ophir for the 2nd time in a year tmr night. i have so many considerations that i really dun feel like going already. but i had already promised the mumbo peeps. tink i'll be quite tired after my paper tmr and i haven pack my bag yet. 2 impt birthdays this weekend. have to make gy pay for the tag at sunset bay coz i cant go. attachment on mon.
well...i should be starting on my studying already...

whoa~ im impressed. ever since chelsea drew that barcelona match with 10 men and got knocked out of the champions league, they have not been in good form and man utd managed to close the gap to 7 points. when they played west ham yesterday, things were really looking down for them when west ham scored in the 10th min and maniche of chelsea got sent off in the 12th. Determined not to let history repeat itself like tat fateful match against barca, they came fighting back. No...they roared back with 4 goals. it could have been more due to some golden chances being wasted as they played seemingly with 12 men instead of 10. these are wat champions are made of!
dreamt the whole of sat night while sleeping. of the same thing. i did not even realise this thing was so impt till now.
anyway im happy now =)

i love dolsot bibimbap. its a korean dish which means stone pot mixed rice. it is rice in a stone bowl topped with vegetables such as white radish, cucumber, bean sprouts, seaweed and beef/chicken with a sunny side up egg in the centre. all the ingredients are then mixed together with gochujang (chilli pepper sauce). yummy~!
