Dear TomHa,
Somehow, I am going to remember this date for a long time to come, and generally, when someone says somthing like that, it only means 2 things: that too many bad things had come to him or the reverse. I am the lucky bastard who got the latter. Feeling so high from all the good experiences.

Why was I so high yesterday, as you might ask. Perhaps it is the 6 cups of caffeine (forgot how many coffee and how many tea) that I drained with fantastic effects as it kept me awake throughout all the lectures that I attend! A considerable feat, considering that I had NEVER been awake in those lectures and that I slept at 4am the previous night and woke up at 7am. Stupid lab reports and a looming examination equals no liberty to sleep for an engine student. Would not have slept much earlier anyway. Haha.

But this isn't what that kept me in a good mood for he whole of yesterday. What that made me really high was the fact that I was able to complete my unseen tutorial for the first time in history! Oh man, the last time I almost did it, the computer hang and time's up and I forgot to save.. So yah, very happy.

Next up was training climb adventure. Did abseiling and prussiking. Abseiling always sends your adrenalin rushing while for prussiking, somehow, I remembered how to go up but forgot how to come down! Was like hanging there for 10 min sweating my way trying to loosen those stupid prussiks. It was a good experience though. Since I was there already, decided to attempt the wall that I failed last saturday. And gosh, I don't know what is it with me that day or perhaps there were steroids in my food or something, but I completed it without breaking a sweat. Somehow, the relative ease was too scary to be true. But yeah, I was like happy like mad and jumping up and down like a monkey.

It was also yesterday that I finally decided that should I pass all the assessment and is allowed to go to New Zealand and stuff like that, I would definitely go all the way for it. Decided that I am going to part with my hard-earned savings and achieve something since I am like still freaking young. Wait for me.. NZ and Nepal and please let me stay healthy for the assessment...

Now that I had made the decision, did good for a test, climbed difficult walls and had the famous peanut ice-kachang, there is still something more that really made my day. I went home hungry after supper with the team (Oh yar, did I mention that I am starting to bond with them liao?) and there was leftover curry chicken! Ar.. the sweet things in life makes people really happy for a good long time.
