H- B- T- M-

Shall blog on this at the end of today.

Hopefully it would be a memorable one this year.

Till the next time, it’s me, woonie, signing off.

smile

People say I smile a lot. Most of them say I smile too much. Some don’t like me smiling too much.

Is smiling too much really a bad thing?

Then again, my smiles don’t necessarily mean that I’m happy… most of the time.

Eg. during GP lesson. I couldn’t finish my essay outline in time. “Sorry, Mrs Singh.” – Me, with my unavoidable smile. “And you still can smile huh.” – Singh, sounding really pissed.

I was being apologetic, yet I was smiling. wtf is wrong with me?

I quote myself from a blog post I made back in July 2005:

“no one bothers to listen to my problems. people think i have no problems. they think i’m permanently cheerful coz i’m always with a smile. but i’m suffering inside. no one knows.”

As I read through what I had been ranting about 2 years ago, I realized that I have not changed a single bit at all. My own classmates, never mind the fact that they are new classmates, still dislike me, I still sleep during class, and I still procrastinate. And I still have that stupid smile on my face which people interprete as a lack of seriousness in doing stuff. I still can’t garner enough respect for myself.

I apologize to Royce Yap for talking too much about the tutorial test shortly after it ended, and not realizing that he was in a really pissed mood because of the test. I should have realized earlier. Shortly before that, I was getting pissed with Mervyn coz I screwed up my test and he kept wanting to discuss the questions with me. I should be more sensitive to others’ feelings. Gahh.

SSPC

The photos that didn’t win anything in the recently concluded Singapore Students’ Photography Competition:

And you can tell that I obviously need to put in more effort to improve the quality of my photos. Especially in the next one:

An attempt on panning.

Bridge Camp

Bridge Camp is probably the funnest CCA camp I’d ever attended. For one, this camp contained people who are willing to play bridge at any free time we have.

FRIDAY
The camp started when we gathered at seminar room 8 (i think), and after the usual welcome-to-bridge-camp speeches we were assigned our groups. (Okay this is bad, I forgot who’s in my group right now. ><)

Combined ice-breakers – the usual stuff. First person introduces self, Second person re-introduces first person and introduces self. Third person reintroduces first and second persons and introduces self. And so on. I pity the last person. There was also Blow Wind Blow. (Random person: “You know what Ashvin did when he played B-W-B with his class? After he said “blow wind blow”, and the class responded “blow what”, he said “blow me.”")

We went straight to 2 rounds of 6 boards of duplicates using the IMP (Swiss) scoring system. My team consisted of Shayi-Kean Yung, woonie-joshua, random girl 1-random girl 2. Basically, there are two pairs from two teams playing at the same time at two tables. As both tables would be playing the same 6 boards, points would be awarded by comparing the scores on both tables. Team 1 Pair 1 is on E-W on Table 1 while Pair 2 sits at N-S at Table 2. Eg. If E-W at Table 1 manages to secure a game contract at 4Hearts, while E-W on Table 2’s contract of 3H had one overtrick. [...] Okay i’m lazy to explain the methods of calculating the score, so visit the following wikipedia pages: IMP Scoring Bridge Scoring
