i'm only doing my ADA pro term when i return from studies, which will be in 4-5 years' time. right now i'm loboing in Air Force School (AFS) together with the rest of the ADA guys. it's my 3rd day of being a Lobo and so far so good. It's not as slack as I originally thought it'd be, since rightfully we're just here doing nothing and drawing regular pay (can't really complain about the pay bit hahaha). But apparently we're all supposed to run the Sheares Bridge Run/Army Half Marathon so we've got a brilliant physical training programme which involves ET runs of up to 16km! i just can't wait.

and pull-up regime now is damned, well, interesting. 3sets of max pullups to failure, followed by 20x normal pushups, 20x diamond pushups, 20x spider pushups. after that you can pretty much keel over and die, especially since the chinup regime takes place immediately after a timed run (either 3km or 5km, depending on which day of the week it is). but i've got newfound motivation to be healthy and not slack! so im making full use of the lovely gym at AFS (compared to the shitty one at SAFTI), and the pool, and running loads.

anyway if anyone wants to ask me more about anything, pls mail me at oldskoolflavor@gmail.com. thanks haha! im too lazy to type everything now, shall retire to my limewire now heh heh.

end of service term, now all that's left is to lobo in air force school for a good two months before studies/ pro term for the ADA people. all hail the sai gang warriors! we'll probably be unceremoniously dumped somewhere and left to slack our days away, with the exception of the training for army half marathon. i hope the AHM training's good! if not it'll really be an utter waste of time.

end-of-course dinner at NUS guild house was pretty good, wasn't as raucous as i expected but with the budding alcoholics at my table things started getting a little noisy as usual. will post the pictures sometime when i get around to uploading them. fri was spent at NY and RJ and SPH, visiting teachers and colleagues. NY's changed quite a bit, a number of teachers have left for other schools and all. sat down with mr evans (heh heh!) and ms lui at RJ, was good catching up with them. and of course mr lee just had to re-enact how i used to fall asleep during his geog lessons, albeit with a great deal of exaggeration. SPH was cool too, kind of miss working there sometimes- even though a journalist's life is crap but i like that sorta crap haha, the deadlines and the mad rush and the thick-skinned questions and the phone calls and the cage with the cakes and of course the Melvin Singh.

and yeah we threw trace a surprise bday party outside the esplanade on fri evening, i think she liked it so that's all that matters really. man we need another NY gathering soon, that night was splendid. gymmed on saturday at kallang (it felt like home! i can hear vania twittering "WEIRDO"! haha but SO THERE, VANIA). sunday with zhiwei and liwei! haha gosh both excellent people, pity there wasn't much time. but i really gotta catch up with my nj friends from the first three months. we had a rollicking good time in the matter of 90 days, which is much more than i can say for a lot of other things. oh well!

this is it now
everybody getting down
this is all i can take
this is how my heart breaks

for the record, i strongly recommend rob thomas '[something to be]! i'll go get it when i'm a little richer. haha!

one more kiss could be the best thing
one more lie could be the worst
and all these thoughts are never resting
and you're not something i deserve

in my head there's only you now
this world falls on me
in this world, there's real and make believe
this seems real to me

you love me, but you don't know who i am
i'm torn between this life i lead
and where i stand
you love me, but you don't know who i am
so let me go

let me go

i dream we head to what i hope for
and i turn my back on loving you
how could this love be a good thing
when i know what i'm going through

in my head there's only you now
this world falls on me
in this world, there's real and make believe
this seems real to me

you love me, but you don't know who i am
i'm torn between this life i lead
and where i stand
you love me, but you dont know who i am
so let me go,

just let me go

no matter how hard i try
i cant escape these things inside
i know, i know
but all the pieces fall apart
you will be the only one who knows
who knows

you love me, but you don't
you love me, but you don't
you love me, but you don't know who i am

you love me, but you don't
you love me, but you don't
you love me, but you don't know me...

three doors down [let me go]
