I will never forget those mornings we dreaded, hatred of the afternoon, the uncertainties in the evening.

One last week.

We have one week left for boarding, before we check-out. I really wanna spend some quality time with my friends and all for once, but I have to train. I have to make up for what I didn't do, for the boats we didn't pack up, for only going for one land tutorial this week.

DBS Carnival is on Friday, and NCC's on Saturday and Sunday. Then, I'll be in Malaysia from Monday to Friday. Saturday's the PTM, Sunday's my break, then between Monday to Wednesday, we have the June Bonding Camp. After a day of break on Thursday, we have to do CWO on Friday. Going to be busy these two weeks, but I'm looking forward to the overloading phase, in a way. Time to truly start training.

Had DB today. It was the third time I've paddled in the dragonboat, but this time, I was the senior. :) I think the fact that we have already learnt how to kayak helped a lot in DB. I could pull better, twist, and my muscles weren't exactly aching, unlike last year. And I was following the strokes of the C paddlers, so I think that was when I got my technique.

Then, for Wednesday, I just want to apologise to all the seniors who went down for water. I'm the QM, and I didn't call for pack-up, so the six guys had to do all the work. Guys, I'm really, really sorry. We didn't know, but we'll never do that again. Thank you for accepting our apologies; thank you for staying strong during your pack-up.

Overall, this is my last week. I'm going to train. In the mornings and afternoon, and maybe some light weights in the evening/night. And reflect on this semester's results.

Haven't been doing too well, but I didn't do as bad as I expected. I got 4As, 2 Bs and 1 C+. C+ for LA, then the Bs for IH and Math. I kind of expected the Bs and C+, but I didn't think I would get a single A. Except for GA. I actually wanted A+, but I only got a borderline A. What was wrong with our songwriting and sequel? My trailer had a hell lot of sound effects and music, and I completed it all the way till the end..

But on a happier note, I got 4th in GS (as compared to last place in the previous year) and I topped both ATTs (after the bonus marks for part one). And I got A in Chinese, which means a lot. I speak Chinese a lot more than the others in school, but I'm not exactly very good at recognizing the characters and understanding the meanings. But I can write decently. Even though my compo wasn't an A grade, I'm quite satisfied with my own writing.

For LA, I could have topped comprehension if not for the lifting... and I ended up dropping from 1st to near to last or rock bottom. I'm really disappointed with my IH, since I want to be in AH, but sometimes, I just can't concentrate. I have one more semester to pull my grades up now. For Math, I just gotta practice more, and not be complacent if I do well (but I didn't do well...), unlike some others.

We're gonna get streamed again for Chinese and Math I think. For Chinese, I'm not sure if I'm going up to the top class. But I can at least have a guaranteed spot in the second class. Then, for Math, I got a bad feeling that if we're streamed, I'm just gonna head to Beta. Goodbye Alpha and Mr Pok, and the top 3 class :(

So, gotta eat something now. Or drink. Guten nacht, meine Freunde.
