Airshow, reunion dinner, blowing away 5K

Holiday's still not here yet..........
ok i'm being silly
and impatient.
just sick of going through my notes.

Ahhhh!!
I wanna go Singapore Airshow 2010! The previous time I've been there was prob back in sec 1 or 2 when Mic Chan's father has free tickets there every yr. While I'm no longer the military technology fanatic I was back in sec sch days, I wanna see the F-111 and (esp) A-10 aerial performance! These 2 vehicles are within those that I "studied full time" back in the 90s. All these enthusiasm died down during the year I went into poly. Wanted to go YFC, gone through the ST medical checkup, failed it, no reasons given and dashed my hopes of becoming pilot.
Anyway the airshow is yet again scheduled on the weekend just before my final paper, so scratch the idea. Also on the same weekend is the NUS wushu reunion dinner and Wushu performance by Kuen and the famous Beijing wushu team. Out of these 3 event, I allowed myself to indulge abit and attend the dinner only... gotta have some discipline. All 3 events begs the use of my camera... damn.
Wah. This year Peilei asked me to invite Hsia(!!!) and Cat(!!!) along for the reunion dinner! I never thought that this can precede an extinction level apocalyptic event! Therefore next day I actually went ahead and bought 4D of the time that Peilei MSNed me about this! Dun hit me leh Peilei! Hahahah!
And NO, I did not win anything!
Sad that Cat's not attending while I hope Chiu Hsia can make it. Seriously.

Just thrown another 5k plus down into my next sem's modules. When counting through that thick wad of cash, it made me think, wah, how long I can survive just on that amount of $50 notes. And what sorta camera lenses I can buy! Hah! New issues other than exams :
1) gotta chase after Amore to find out when I can retake my practical test for FIC, pass it and finish my 20 hrs of attachment at some fitness centre.
2) upcoming ICT still clashes with my studies, gotta try deferring yet again and hope it's successful a 2nd time. Accompanying issue include... how to find excuse to tell my boss why they actually defer me for a second time without letting them know of my degree course!
3) find more lame excuses for my boss to take unpaid leave to go Aust for 2 weeks for my lab sessions later this year AND try pushing my luck and get a couple of days more leave to go Japan at the end of the yr so as to use up my Star Alliance mileage pts which is expiring this yr end. Maybe going with Ah Cat, maybe going alone. Or who else wanna join me? Lemme know!

Here's a personal reference note for my (short) holiday plans:
1) Re-Start on resistance training, even with my current injuries... been procrastinating for too long. At most start with extreme low resistance. This time I must follow my own prescription to the T. No more excuses!
And maybe cut back on sparring and grappling already, the injuries are taking longer to heal. Haiz.. signs of aging. To Joshua (if you happen to see this): you better learn fast NOT to kick under the belt, unless you wanna make me wish I REALLY broke your right floating rib yesterday.

2) Edit as much back logged photos as much as possible. There's like more than 3k worth of photos? Hah! Priority of cos goes to Amin, Clarice and Xinyu's portraits that was taken a year ago and of cos, Agong's family fishing trip at Ban Apa.

3) Try to meet up Ah Peng when he gets back from Shanghai and go shoot with him and his full framed Canon 5D... whoa....

4) Misc: Go back overnight at Ubin! Meet up with Andy! Perhaps try out his D3s too! Celebrate Weixin's birthday and meet Welna to get that book shelf for him! Not to mention, Yuhua's, my bro's and Karen's(which I promised to be the organiser this yr) birthday.

5) Jio Paul, Brian, Wilson, Colin, Karen and Apryl out for perhaps the last hang out session (for the next few years?) straight after CNY reunion dinner.

Gotta enjoy as much as possible. Next sem is the 2nd last sem of my course and all the modules are gonna be killer from there. But I dun believe I cannot make it with abit of hardwork, some ingenuity and self-psychoing (as well as a whole lotta "jia yous" from joyce! Hahah!).
