Title: Half the battle past
Hello. Back at the moment. I'll be gone again for a camp soon so I thought I'd do the decency of updating it before I go. Let's see. I still havent started much on homework. At the moment, I've only done one comprehension. Only 1 month to go. And there's still revision to do. I'm not exactly great with the academics so I really need to patch things up. Hope I can get myself to do some work soon.
Talking about work, I joined an internship. Spent 3 weeks on it already but yet there's things we need to redo. Me along with 2 other friends are supposed to record bowlers from the Singapore Sports School so that the coaches can use a software to analyse their performance. We are also to be familiar with the software and teach the coaches on how to use it. Sounds simple enough. Haha I emphasise the word "sound". The camera we used to record them didn't have a certain function that we require. So we will have to record them again with a better camera. I hope it turns out find. While I'm out for camp, they'll be recording. I hope I can get back in time to help with the analysing we're supposed to do. With 1 week left of the internship, I hope we can finish it in time. Really need the time for homework, revision etc. If I can spend that time effectively of course.
Had bowling physical training yesterday. Wasn't that bad. Surprisingly I could actually complete the 5 rounds around the track. I didn't think I could really do it after about a month of zero excercise. Haha. Nevertheless, I still got rather dizzy after that. Lasted a bit longer than usual but nothing bad happened. So I guess it was ok. Later in the afternoon I bowled with Rodney, Qing Hui and Weixin. I'm quite impressed with Rodney. His upswing is lower compared to last time but his rev got much better. He's got a bright prospect in bowling as a career. Haha. It was just great to bowl with friends again. Forgot to warm up after the first minute or so and quickly did the necessary stretching. Had a bad experience of not warming up previously when I bowled alone. Didn't really like what I experienced so I wasn't keen for more anytime soon. I'm still aching all over but I think it will be better by the time camp starts though.
Camp. Looking forward to the bowling camp. From what I've heard, it's going to be more recreational than what I expect. Hope it will be an enjoyable camp and bond everyone together. All the best for a better and closer team next year! Haha.
I finished reading some books recently. Not Harry Potter. Not Artemis Fowl. Haha. I belive it's the Dark Elf trilogy. Many thanks to Bibi who introduced me to the series. Finally, I change from HP and Artemis Fowl. At times I do want a change but I fear that I might not like that change. But I find the setting in this book appropriate and interesting. A lot more deaths than in either of the two series I usually read. I guess this one is more adult-based. Well. I am growing older and Harry Potter is considered a children book among many *internal struggle of disagreement*. Haha. Oh well. Finished the trilogy. Looking forward to many other books of the fantasy genre. Thanks Bibi.
I guess that is enough for today. And maybe enough for the rest of the holidays. You never know though, I might update again to talk about the camp. Again I emphasise another word, "might". Haha. See you then.
