Hard times....i should say....for the last 2-3 weeks.... The Designing courses.....the main point about them are not doing assignments...but redoing assignments. Other than that, i wish to go home every hour when i spend my time in Nanyang Polytechnic. I need to advance......i must produce better work...yes. Besides the Poly life....i always look forward to saturday morning because of the weekly basketball game with Kurt and friends. Although i have not been chosen by the team in NYP which is an obvious reason, I think i am happy enough to play with Kurt. Last friday i went for the first unofficial trip for API(Asia Paranormal Investigators). We went to Fort Seranpong in Sentosa....the fortress in the forest at the "satelite place" at the end of a lonely road in Sentosa. I visited there when i was in sec1 when the BB brought us there as a hike but we never go in any deeper...but this time i did. We have our investigations in a particular bunker...with a underground tunnel.....we spent time till 4 in the morning before we made our retreat.Although there were not much paranormal activities but the place will be revisited hopefully. Yesterday....was a disaster....or almost one....but we were lucky because we managed to solve our problems whenever we met them. We were supposed to find the Japanese Shinto Shrine deep in Macrhichie Reservoir but it was a failure.....we got through places where land slides happened not long ago. We forced our way through through mud, stones, roots and whatever that went in our way because if we did not....we know we have to force much all the way back ....8 kilometres back to the entrance at Lornie Road. But we got through all obstacles....some real shitty ones too.....and reached north of the jungle......from Lornie Road...11pm to outside Sin Ming Avenue at 4am. Before i went for the trip yesterday, i went for a dinner with Zhe Xuan, Yi Chao, Jia Hui, Kai Yang and Hui han to celebrate Hui han 's birthday. Then I embark for the thing. I missed the bus-stop because it was my first time to take Bus 52. It took me on an express way......i said shit man....the bus brought me to Ngee Ann Poly....around Clementi. Finally there was a hope to take bus back to Lornie Road but i gave a random message to Ben Toh who studied at NP. He was still in school and he came to meet me at the bus-stop. We took the same bus and i alighted at the bus-stop before Singapore Island Country Club and I saw Wei xue....all coincidences....Thursday night....full moon.....wet and nothing better. To get to the Shrine.... we must get into the dense jungles infested by plants, insects and some animals and all kinds of unknowns ahead so it was too dangerous to go for it....The bloody place have not been visited by any human beings since the last time which was 3 years ago by the Comittee members of SPI(Singapore Paranormal Investigators). It became an obstacle course.....march of 8 km....rather than anything else. It was a good experience or a lesson for us and for me....but i am sure that none of us wanted to do it again. I was calm always.....ye...s...calm.....nothing much to worry about......although there are some dangerous landmarks....like the cliffs.....Okay.....i have to rest......tomorrow morning, the game with Kurt...and hopefully i can finish most of the homework by tomorrow. I see more from the future. That is my philosophy
