How true! =D You are at low risk for having a social phobia. It is unlikely that you feel most comfortable in your mom's basement. You are at low risk for obsessive compulsive disorder.

How Abnormal Are You?

what a crazy week it has been with table tennis training on monday, wednesday and thursday ending at almost 8 for every practice. i didnt really feel as if this week had 5 school days but rather one long stretch of 120 hours with occasional rest stops.

the team needs 8 more players, of which only 3 would be actually playing in the competition and the rest being reserves. but there are 11 people competing, meaning i have to beat 3 players to squeeze in. i really want to be in the team not just for the skipping of lessons but also because there is this misconception that players in the team do alot for the school and should be honoured while players not in the team are just playing for leisure. more specifically, im speaking of reserves as i believe that players who didnt make it to the team train as hard as those who made it but do not play in the competition.

im glad that mr wee understands my position but i feel that i need more than understanding and that is getting into the team. to do so, i need to win 2 more matches out of 5. argh, this is frustrating. (i can, i can i believe i can)

on another note, i think my stamina has improved during the practice cross country run today. or perhaps, it could have been what i was chanting in my head. maybe both =D

blogging has lost its meaning of being a journal. when writing in your journal, you are supposed to be personal and frank right? however, most blogs are nice and serve more as a channel to advertise the bloggers themselves through their activities rather than being a reflection journal. therefore people get offended by candid posts as they are not common and not politically correct.

the purpose of this post might seem to be expressing what i feel of reserves and non school team players and that is a trueful personal account. but i am also informing everyone how much time and effort i spend on my trainings and that is a way of advertising myself.

by advertising, i mean positively gaining attention for your own made up character.
for example, someone might complain in his/her blog that his/her phone bills was very high and was thus scolded by his/her parents. my guess however, is that the intention of that post is not for readers to pity the blogger who was scolded but to advertise the fact that he/she is popular and to form the impression that he/she is a cool, always smsing teenager.

im tired now and i shall just end here.

maple death

i cant believe she killed herself just to spite me. arghhh, our experience dropped from 12 to 4% and i had to walk from ellinia back to the cursed eye tail spot.

and i stripped her character of all armor and weapon and walked all over the place. hows that? =DDD

shatec

Dont you think managing a hotel is so exciting? Especially if the hotel has branches all around the world and i can fly around the globe visiting places. Most importantly, when im tired at work, i can just check into a suite and take a nap!

Amazing job, but it would only be that enjoyable if i were the ceo of the hotel or something. Its quite impossible as i cant inherit the hotel and neither would i want to work my way up from serving tables or making beds. Theres another alternative though, i could marry the ceo's son. Thats the joke of Shatec but i seriously dont think its very funny.

Anyway, i thought that the dining etiquette class was really interesting. Shao sheng, xiao xian, chun han and I had to role play fine dining. I must say that I really enjoyed having a guy pull out my seat and being courteous and all. =D

After lunch, all of us headed to the kitchen for a lesson on cooking. It was really a memorable experience. Charissa was my partner and we had to cook roast chicken, spaghetti bolognaise and Indonesian fried rice

After marinating the chicken, I had to put it into a frying pan fill of bubbling oil. As the chicken was slippery and I was worried of causing the oil to splash out, I held on to the chicken carefully with both my hands on either side of it and my fingers below the chicken. I must have been too dizzy with excitement as i forgot about the oil and 3 of my fingers dipped into the hot oil. After being attended to my fingers still hurt a lot and felt like it was on fire. And thus being injured just after 5 minutes of cooking, I spent the rest of the 2 hours of cooking like a handicap with only 7 working fingers. I heard the chef who attended to me saying something like medium rare.

Charissa was so brilliant, she managed to tend to the chicken and spaghetti at the same time by herself when I was away and was still so composed and had the place in order when I was back. If I had to do that by myself, I would probably get so tense that I injure myself too and nothing would be done.

For dinner yesterday night, everybody ate what I cooked for dinner as I had already told my grandmother not to cook the day before. My grandmother was so funny, she said that I was worried of not cooking enough for my family that I added my fingers as extra ingredients. Lol!

I felt so proud of myself for cooking for my family and I constantly reminded them of my sacrifice (burnt finger). =D I guess that’s how egoistic men feel when they are the sole breadwinner in the house. But I still prefer being provided for. =P

So in all this experience was really special and I also saw a different side of all the VIPs. Daniel Ong looked like a chef when he was shifting the pan around the fire while cooking fried rice and everybody looked so different in their apron and hat. Everybody were sweaty and dashed about with pots and pans. Yu fei helped me wash a pan and Summer helped me with my ever falling hat. =D thank you!

Whee. Shatec is my favourite fieldtrip. =DDDDDDDD
