I went to watch How to train your dragon on saturday.
It was a fairly typical mainstream family movie. Wimp guy catches super rare dragon that no-one has ever caught before but decides to release it cos he's too wuss to kill it. They make friends! Form some awesome plot to save the world and change the social hierachy of vikings and dragons!
Oh and guy gets the girl too.
The humor was done well, not too childish but not too intellectual or subtle either. But the 3D effects were not done well enough as there was not enough visual depth in the projection. Other than that i think it was quite a fun movie.
Go watch it! and the tiny little green dragon reminds me of a cute little mouse.

blog!
There is nothing much to blog about these few days.
Archery training has finally moved on from mindless PT sessions to actual bow training and i am very grateful for this, as my arms are still not ready to do 200+ pushups in a span of 3 hours. Yes i am noob.
I will find something else to blog about once school reopens. :)

Dramafeste's first performance has run, which means now i am free to spoiler everything and rant like crazy about it.
*exhales sharply*
I believe i will get quite a lot of agreement with the notion that BW's play this years is a far cry from its usual standard. The plot was choppy and badly resolved and the actors performed much better during rehearsal than during the actual performance.
Ok that's kinda to be expected, but i think the audrey role did not bottle her fury enough and just let it explode out uncontrollably. Which kinda ruined the victimised wife image a bit.
Teck wee also did not put in as much emotion in his regret scenes as during rehearsals.
I hope the play runs slightly better in tonight's performance without the stress from judges watching.
How can you hate something so badly yet love it so much?

Today i am torn between being incredibly happy and being incredibly sad.
Let's talk about happy first.
A few weeks ago i went for the bio olympiad selection test. However, my gpa did not meet the minumum requirements, so halfway through the test....
teacher: excuse me, are you russell lim?
me: yeah?
teacher: you're not supposed to be here. you did not meet our minimum gpa requirement. your test results will not be considered.
me: what??
teacher: but you can do the test for fun if you like. we will only "consider" it if you do exceptionally well.
me: uhh, ok.....
and today i got a letter:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for the following enrichment programs:
Bio olympiad training.
EPIC WIN. :)
Sad part now.
I am currently in 2 RAs.
I am running for council.
I am an archer.
I am attempting to take an RSI project.
Now i am faced with the choice of taking 2 olympiad trainings (yeah i got chem also woohoo). If i take both and somehow not die epicly for the rest of the year i could well be labelled "Most Epic Win Student of the Year".
Or if i fail i will probably spend the rest of my life living in a cardboard box.
I have no idea what to do now.

Archery today!
OMG ARCHERY TRAINING IS A FAR CRY FROM SHOOTING
Summary:
-2 rounds around PPCC
-150 pushups
-50 jumping jacks (8 counts)
Ok this is damn little compared to other ccas. BUT STILL.
I suddenly miss how slack shooting pt was. I can complete the shooting pt and come out laughing lor.
Welras shared his lateral thinking puzzles wit the girls in class today. Their reactions are priceless.
Sigh. I am aching in at least 4 different places now and there is a large blister on the sole of my foot. Time to do some soul searching i guess.
PW = procrastination win.

Brief conversation at chem lab earlier today:
me: Hey titration! What kind of titration are you doing?
mengshi: with FA1 and FA2.
I still can't get used to jc life. Either you know everything and falling asleep in lectures or you think you know it but fail horribly in it.
Epic lol of the week: In my GP diagnostic, i got a spelling error for the word "it".

Post number 250!
Running for council! (please don't laugh)
Yeah. I'm running for council. What a surprise move! But its going to be my last 2 years in RI and I want to make my time here count for something. I really hope i make it through the interview and campaigning.
I got rejected for Bio Olympiad selection. Curse you selection board. Got matthew lee and chew hongen dont need me ah? (actually yes, matthew and hongen can solo the IBiO and pwn the rest of the world with their hands tied to their blindfold while being towed by a speedboat in a swimming pool). But it still came as a pretty big shock ._.
Going for first archery training this friday. I hope there's nothing too extreme, cos my legs still hurt from being a retard during and after PE lesson.
2 is better than 1.
