Sunday's definitely not a Fun-day

It's been gloomy all day, with clouds seemingly unsure to stay or to go.

Anyway, common tests are finalllyyy over. The 2 weeks of preparation and tests were hell, totally. Never felt so unprepared and unsure about my stuff before. I'm either getting dumber, or lazier, or both. I feel both, really.

What keeps me going is the pressure to do well academically. My parents don't show their expectations or demand anything, but I can just feel and sense how badly they want me to excel and get the distinctions. I fear disappointment... not disappointing myself, but disappointing my parents who deserve so much more that what they have now.

For that, I shall keep TRYING to work hard.

This post sure complements the post title ;p

food, anyone??

Rong still looking hamsem with his bunkmates

My brother, Rong. hamsem? :D

The IOC at Swissotel guarded by a Gurkha

They're everywhere!

There's a couple of them at the entrace, a few more inside, then a few more on every floor.

Man, if you have been down to Raffles City yourself, you would probably know what I'm referring to - the policemen.

If you haven't already read about it, Singapore is hosting the 117th IOC Session at the Swissotel. All the VIPs are in town and security is tight, dang tight.

They check bags randomly as you enter the shopping mall, check cars going into the carpark, and the best part is that they paste a security seal on your bonnet. Break the seal and you have to be checked again. Sounds like checking in your baggage at the airport, huh?

Anyhow, security does make us feel at ease, and safe, but are the police overdoing it? Having police ALL OVER is an overkill I would think. It somehow truly reflects Singapore's kiasu-ness.

Apparently, the security level at Raffles City will be heightened. -smacks head-

So many police already, still not enough, meh?

Oh well, I was there to watch my brother march anyway. Yes, he's marching in this year's NDP. I'm dang proud of him I tell you. Check his photo out below. Pity he wasn't in his Number One uniform. Next week I'll try to get him in full U.

Till the next post, cheers! :D

Laziness, pure laziness..

Hello folks! It's rui and i'm back to try blogging, AGAIN.

As the title suggests, I stopped writing for awhile only because I was lazy.

School has been dang busy recently, projects and presentations.. bah. Really dread school and I havent really gotten a good night's rest. Oh well, that's life in Singapore right? Studying is never fun, it's all about getting the papers.

Will write some other time, hopefully.. :D
