CTs are in two weeks time and I haven't really started studying. haha great.
plus I kinda didn't listen to all the new physics and econs lectures so I'm damn confused now haha. I keep telling myself to start listening but it doesn't seem to work.
Don't know why but my year has been pretty screwed up. Academically it's still quite ok but it wasn't as good as last year. then training. Kinda lost my motivation to train already. Not because of the bronze medal but the fact that we only got a bronze. I think there's this emotional barrier that keeps telling me that I suck. I think the reason is that I'm not improving, rather, I'm getting worse. and I keep getting trashed by my sparring partner:( I fenced really badly during novices. and yes. you don't have to tell me in my face that its my fault. I know it myself. reverse psychology freaking doesn't work on me. it backfires. its my mental side that's pulling me back. and of course, lack of training. but I can't train coz CTs are coming up. Its not that I don't want to train. I hate it when people start questioning my commitment towards fencing. but what the freak, I know it myself can already. and somehow my intuition tells me coach gave up on me. its making everything worse.
And then it's that problem. I just want to fence ok, not think so much about other stuff. and its giving me a lot of stress. he's not giving up and I really don't want to hurt him again. it freaking spoiled my CNY holiday. thinking about that. i don't know what to do and its kind of irritating me.

Recently I did an essay on how Singaporeans are apathetic towards politics. And today we were talking about how chang isn't so bad, but only because we were horrible to him.
Well, I think Singaporeans aren't apathetic towards politics, just not thinking critically. The ST isn't pro-government, they're just trying to remain neutral and give people a balanced view point. Maybe I'm more towards the anti side, but it is true that gov isn't reading too much comments that are against it. That's why the opposition parties are there for, but they don't seem to be doing too much. I think people should read the online citizen, it gives both the good side and the bad side and really just reports the truth as it is. since it is an online media, there isn't much gatekeeping as it is not censoring anything. the comments that its readers post are even more interesting:)
