totally knackered after 3 consecutive days of soc training. have never felt my legs hurt so much since say, the stair climbing training in jc or bmt. can't walk very well now. thus do not think i'll be able to go to the basketball session in school tomorrow morning. had the longest week since our OC banned us from nights off cuz we didn't get gold for ippt. everyone's condemned him. shall refer to him as F.K. from now on. F.K. said to me, 'chee wei, don't look so sad leh.' how could i not, when i have to wake up early every morning to do combat runs while some people are happily sleeping. on other hand, i had a good mid-morning to early-afternooon nap on thursday. guys are proposing going to m'sia next weekend. do not think it will materialise. even if it does, probably have driving then.

soup restaurant has the most wonderful dish- samsui garlic chicken. thick juicy slices of white chicken meat, sandwiched in a lettuce leaf, laced with the most aromatic garlic. it slays me. watched sky captain and the world of tomorrow. totally campy fun. soft focused characters battling evil robots in super planes. rather retro futuristic sets that took my breath away. laughed wildly at parts, like when they were naked in shangri-la.

finally caught singapore idol. can understand why everybody hates jerry ong to the core. can't sing. THAT SMILE! THAT 'V' SIGN! disco night was uninspiring. olinda proves to be a real diva-in-the-making. taufik can sing. maia has really hot moves. i think those will be the top three.

saw the developed photos. absolutely mortified. how could a roll of 36 produce only 18 shots. there must be something wrong with my lomo camera, or with me. half of them turn up to be blank photos. tearing at the thought of those magical photos. among the many missed genius shots: two contrasting dragon lanterns, monkey lanterns, fish lanterns, zifang in front of escalator, sleeping buddha, car in the cte. really dejected now. do not think that there is a lomo career for me. the rest i'm gonna scan and post it soon.
