I mean, I hate when I meet really great people. They're helpful, they're patient, they're kinda, they're understanding & they keep me happy.

But part of me tears away when I don't see what I expect. &..it sucks so much. Cos I'd never be able to bring myself to talk to you. Maybe cos I've never done that before, maybe cos I can't. I just can't. I hate it la!

Lesson of the story: Don't make too many online friends.

I'm sorry.

I guess, nobody's perfect.

This sucks.

Today's training.
Butt pain until super jialat. LOL. It ached like crazy. It's never hurt so much before!

ta's!

Biological:
1. Rock Splitting: Plants
Penetration of tree roots  widens & produces cracks

2. Organic Reaction: Plants
Organic compounds produced by plant roots/ plant decay with rock minerals  rock decay

3. Tunnelling: Animals
Burrowing  loosens rocks  mixing of soil exposes fresh material to weathering agents

4. Organic Reaction: Animals
Organic compounds secreted in the waste of animals/ dead animals decay with rock minerals  rock decay

[Chemical weathering results in granular disintegration]

Factors (affecting type & rate of weathering):
1. Climate:
- Exfoliation & disintegration  desert climate
- Freeze-thaw  temperature fluctuate above & below 0⁰C (polar, temperate & mountain regions)
- High temperature enhances chemical weathering
- High humidity & rainfall provides more water to act as a solvent
- Rapid plant growth & increased rate in animal activities

2. Rock Composition:
- Igneous rock (contain silica & feldspar)  resistant!

3. Rock Jointing:
- Increase area of exposed surface, accelerates block disintegration
- Pattern of joints determine character of landform
E.g. Granite  round boulders (from rectangular blocks)
- Greater penetration of water & acidic solution into rocks
- Facilitates penetration of tree roots & tunnelling

4. Rock Texture:
- Fine-grained rocks  exposed surface area
- Coarse-grained rocks more susceptible to granular disintegration (weather more rapidly)
Once weaker minerals weathered  rock weakens  breaks down more easily

5. Angle of Slope:
- Landslides occur more frequently at steep slopes  fresh exposure of bare rocks
- Gentle slopes  protected by overlying weather products
- Chemical weathering continues: infiltrates overlying rocks & acts on underlying rocks

6. Presence of vegetation:
- Physical weathering retarded: underlying rocks protected
- Water infiltrates & acts on underlying rocks
- Algae, lichen & fungi retains water in the ground
- Biological weathering sped up

7. Human Activities:
- Excavation, quarrying, agriculture, resource mining (industrial development)  expose slopes & rocks
- Deforestation trees, minerals & land for housing  expose slopes & rocks
- Urbanization & industrialization  emission of carbon dioxide  increases global temperature  global warming  enhances weathering
- Urbanization & industrialization  emission of carbon dioxide & sulphur  higher acidic rainfall  enhances chemical weathering
- Changing of vegetation  increases/ disrupts biological weathering

I just woke up. I was going to sleep early tonight, I suppose 7.30pm was a bit too early.

I'm going back to sleep soon. I printed my notes :D

I figured that writing my notes out a gazillion times is too strenuous for my hand. Printing them out makes them so much more...perfect!

Haha.

Geog & English tomorrow.

Then I'll be on a mugging-spree for the next few days.

Chem, Chinese, SS!!

ta's!

2 MORE FACTORS TO GO :D

Thanks so much, man. Thanks so much.

Love,
Your friend

A week has 7 days. I should have known. I'm short of time.

How far, how long. If you could tell me the exact distance, that distance I would go. But you can't & nobody can. We're working to a goal. A goal that has no limits. What kind of goal is that?

I'm so tired. I can't find time to do my work. I'm always procrastinating. I'm glad this week's almost over. I'm slowly drifting away from everything. I'm weak, I'm slow, & my stamina sucks. That's it, man. I've had enough.

How far, how long is this route? You can't ever give me specific details, can you? You can't. Why?

There's this looong slide at the playground! & I actually decided to slide on it! WOAHH, MANN :D EXICITING! (Even though I almost flew out of it.)

Hitched a ride back home from one of the church members, & fell asleep in preparation for training, lol. Waking up to leave the house for training is a very tedious process.
2..15pm: Aiya, 2.15 only.
2.30pm: I think I should change. But..how long does it take to change?
2.45pm: I needa leave the house at 3pm!!! Ahhhhh, maybe I should pon training...lemme think about it.

3pm: I didn't go for training yesterday. Aiya, I'll wake up la!

My passing with Nat is still very screwed ]:

I told coach 'bout me not running 200m.
'No big deal la! It's okay. Don't be worried about it. Take care, alright?'

Okay. I was expecting much worse. Thank God.

'Eh! Joe! There's a bloodstain on your shirt!!!'
'WTH!! WHERE? But I'm not having my period!'

'LOL. You bleeding somewhere is it?'
Looks around..'No leh..'

After training.
'Heh. My finger bled!'

I hate it how I get high & excited really easily. Cos that means I crash to the ground frequently. & I hate the feeling of losing that specialty. That kinda feeling.

So when I found out. I didn't feel as special anymore. Cos there used to be 2. Now there're 3. Of course, I was angry.

I'm so petty, right? Yea. I know.

My muscle's awfully tight.
My right calf & right arm (from pushing myself down the slide like a gazillion times! LOL.)

I miss the feeling of being really full & bloated; after-you've-eaten-a-truckload-of-nonsense feeling [: I should visit the swings.

The art of flicking insects off the table is not as easy as it seems.
You must make sure you don't squish them, or the juice would be all over your fingernail!

Trainingtraining tomorrow!

ta's!

I'm quite disappointed with myself this year. I've ran away from everything I could ever possibly wanna run away from. Competitions. I know, rather blunt. With so much injury & sickness & what-nots! I've practically wasted all my days training.

Yesterday, we ended training at 6.30pm &..yea, I sat in HC for another 45min. To think? Yea. I figured that I really like track. It's just that every training has become some kinda competition. It's no longer 'bout having fun & enjoying it. I like pushing myself, I like knowing that I train to be better than I was before. But I don't like the idea of training to be better than others, to always be better than others. To keep pressurizing &..I don't know. I want to do this for myself. I don't exactly know what I'm talking about..but, like. I tried to imagine myself quitting track; I'd never get that super shiok feeling of running fast again, I'd hardly get the opportunity to sit by the track to stone, I wouldn't' dare to lie down in the middle of the track because I wouldn't exactly belong there anymore. I don't like to know that I'll be losing so many things because of one absolute decision. Whether it is one that is careless or correct.

I'm now some spastic, obsessive, compulsive email checker. It sucks. 'Cos I always find lame emails from Arcmax or something. Tumblr, somehow, still entertains me. I don't know what I'm doing with my life, man. SAs are on first week of school & I'm still having fun, shaking my leg. I'm trying to study. I attempted to do Bio & there was this crazy mess of Ribosomes, Metochondria, Eukaryotic Cells & all the cheem words la -.-

& I have no idea what Functions are. They're some HEH-I'M-TRYING-TO-MAKE-YOUR-LIFE-MISERABLE kinda topic. Thanks lor!

I need to be as optismistic as a panda! The earth has lots of bamboo! I feel so much better already. Thanks.

ta's!

I'm always playing the idiot, sigh.

We visited the..(IFORGOTWHEREWEWENTYESTERDAY!).

We visited Lower Pierce yesterday. Pretty interesting place with the trees & animals & reservoir. But it was super hot, sweat like a panda! & visited the peranakan museum in the afternoon.
Museums are amazing places. Of course, it's serves as a learning platform for students, broadening their horizons in other religions, cultures & most importantly, camwhoring! Hahaha. But, yea..they're a good place for camwhoring.

Sheryl & I reused some tickets to the Quest for Immortality! It is the AWE-MAZING! & this museum's not for camwhoring This one is strictly for viewing & learning purposes. I've always been pretty interested in this sorta stuff & it really made my day :D

Headed to Raffle City after that to buy fooood! & Check the subway man out! Hahah.

O_O OH NO! BUT ELIZ SAYS HE'S THERE. BUT WE DIDN'T SEE HIM O_O

Thanks lor }:

So we bought yoghurt & sushi for dinner & went to iluma & had a whole lotta fun!

Ahhhh. & tuition. Tsk. Was sleepy. OH & I BOUGHT ZARA'S PRESENT..&&&, A PRESENT FOR MYSELF TOO. Heh.

Today, we..sweat! We went to the quarry. It's a pretty amazing, place! (Near my house too w0rthzxz! Haha) & we were thinking of our JERMS picnic this year :D It was hot!
(Must be because Deo took off his shirt! TSKTSK.) Hahaha. Had lunch with HuiYu, Christina, Shirlyn, Sussan, WeiQi & Kim(berly) [''DO NOT CALL ME KIM! MY NAME IS..KIMBERLY!''] try imagining this huge figure looming above you saying that. Scary.

Walkwalk, talktalk, eateat. & training. I was yawing a gazillion times before we even had training la.

Man, it was Humid with a capital H!

& I didn't exactly felt like going home after training. Yea..
I was grumpy. Like Mr Grumpy.

Sucks la /:

ta's!

Was walking up the slope back home a couple of minutes ago & the only thing moving other than me, was my shadow. It moved along with me; from the back, to the front.

I realised that a shadow is like your fear. When it's behind you, you step on it, you own the fear you control it. But when you get rid of it, it slowly creeps up to you, it stand beside you, it stands so close to you. At this point, you don't really know where it is, because it's too close. Ignorance is not bliss. Before you know it, it's right in front of you. This fear slowly, but steadily consumes & devours you. It owns you. Perhaps it's too late. What's a shadow to you?

I'm freaking pissed. I know, it just some relay thing. & we probably don't deserve it. I don't know. Main thing, I'm like, friggin' slow & I hate it! I freaking hate it la. I feel like..I'm the one who pulls everyone down. I know, rightt..super cliche! But that's really how I feel la.
I hate it how we used to be good. How easily we won, how confident we could be. It was fun.
I hate how we were supposed to go for dinner together & sometimes, it crashed.

I hate how I can't persevere through trainings.
I hate how I'm always on the verge of giving up.

I hate how some people can always be happy & optimistic, who're you trying to fool? Yourself?

I hate how nobody seems to know. Yea, God knows. God knows. Thanks. I'm sorry, God!

ta's!

I don't know if what I did was right, but it was better.
I'm so sick of pretending that it's alright.
I'm so sick of talking behind your back.
What the hell are friggin' friends for, man?
Friends are for you to bitch about, kissmyass la!

We did relay & parachute run for coach's training.

Next week's gonna be hardcore. I want to run. & let everything go.
If that's ever possible.

Nationals are in 3 weeks. I don't wanna avoid this topic anymore.
I'm screwed, I've got nothing to lose & therefore, shouldn't have anything to worry about.

But no, I fear excessively it totally kills.

I can't stand how you're not serious. Whatever!
One day you're here, the next day you're there.

I can't choose not to care. I won't let me.

ta's!

I love green tea ice-cream! & I will never ever tear my heart away from it for stuff like.. Macademia Brittle or Rum&Raisin even though they're equally enjoyable! NO! THEY CAN'T BE EQUAL! They're -1 from green tea!

-1.

What's a proton & what's a neutron? I tell you ah, I'm always getting them confused la.
I KNOW CATIONS ARE POSITIVE COS CATS ARE LAME!

& ANIONS ARE NEGATIVE COS ONIONS ARE LAMER!

Hahaha.

Ahh, today was chinese tuition & dad couldn't fetch us. COS HE WAS BUSY WATCHING ALICE IN WONDERLAND WITH HIS COLLEAGUES! So we had dinner out & came home at..9+? We were released at 8 la! 4.30-8! THAT'S...uh, 3.5 hours, yo!

I am so gonna watch Alice in Wonderland next week or something. Otherwise, I'm gonna sulk!!
I'm strangely excited for our 4x100m this Sunday! Reallyreally wanna win la! It's been a long time since we've tasted a medal /: Sigh. (Big sigh)

Nats are in 3 weeks time, don't remind me ]:

OKAY! TIME TO SLEEP! & FOR ONCE, I'M LATER THAN YOU :D

Haha.

ta's!

School's been so sian. Ahh, it's terrible. Sleeping every recess, spending 5 hours in the classroom, attempting to catch the lesson. Well, at least I get my homework completed, that's pretty good. I suppose.

I'M SUPERR JEALOUS MY DAD'S GOING TO THE OPENING OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND TOMORROW NIGHTTT!! I'm so gonna catch it next week la IN 3D!!!!!
Aiya, daddy ah..never get me tickets!

My shin friggin' hurt during training today la! I think I'm gonna slowly deteriorate & die & rot away like some loser banana! I don't know, man. I hope I get well. I hope I run well on Sunday! We totally have to get a medal laa!! But it hurt more than usual today, howww?

I don't get Functions. At all. Yea, it's supposed to be kinda easy. Why do they always have to make things seem to complex & cheem? What happened to life's simplicity?

& Bio. My bio homework hasn't been done. & it's sitting at home. Noboday asked the school to give us massive green caterpillar-ish books!

I'm so tired. But I'm so happy :D
NO TRAINING TOMORROW! HAHA.
At least it's something to look forward to. Not that training sucks, it's kinda fun actually. It's just..I seem free-er! Somehow. Actually, no. I'm not. I've got my 3 hour long chinese tuition. Gg.

Homework not done! Miserable much.

I just ate a whole lotta junk food! I feel so disgustingly satisfied!

I left my bottle in school again. Why? I don't even know where I left it! I LOVE MY BOTTLE ]:

ta's!

Remember our mango sago pomelo?

HAHAHAHA.

Alright. So I didn't run on Sat. Mr Choo suggested I didn't cos of the shin splint.
& guess what? It isn't fully healed yet. Annoying much. It's super extra!!!!

& Yay, I'm first runner for 4x100m. It's been forever! Really wanna win big time, this time. We have to!

Today's training was fun. We did relay.
Weather was awsomez: Black clouds, Windywindy (except for the lightning.)

Hhaha.

So..I've got booked twice for the same category & yea, it's not a very good thing, it's not a very good impression. I was so close to blasting off la /: Tsktsk. I can opt to get booked, or just put in that super effort of being a perfect kid. It's not really an option. & I guess, it's my responsibility to be a good kid.

There's this ant migration stuff going on in my kitchen -.-

So the whole's place just constantly filled with a whole lotta black stuff.
Damn sick la. My sis & I attempted to clear it this morning. My mum attempted to clear it before going to church. My eldest sister got a shock. & my dad just killed off another batch.

Wow, man. The mama ant reproduces like a factory! WOW.

Training tomorrow. Dk what we're doing!

ta's!
