Intense

That sums up the whole of IR tutorial yesterday. The tutorial was held in a style similar to what we see in a debate. Advantages of conducting it in a debate format is that ideas and viewpoints can be openly discussed and it will train your mind into thinking further and faster. However, the flip side of this is that, the whole tutorial can just revolve around a few people and basically dominating the entire lesson. It is even worse when you encounter people who nitpicks on the topic, not that they are wrong though, but it really irks you out at times.

My 3 days week can only happen on the even weeks >_<. Training intensity increased dramatically on wednesday night. 400m 200m 200m 100m 100m. 400m and 3 laps of towing with aid. Really pushing my body to the limits. I am very impressed with those people staying in hall, who have activites, be it school or hall, to occupy them throughout the night. When the heck do these people have time to study? How do they even manage to maintain a CAP of 5.0? Ok maybe not that great then. What about a 4.5? Time management is the key to the success of these adrenalin-crazed students. Then can I ask if they are taking somekind of wonder drug or what? Some of them are not only pure athletes. They do hold positions in the executive comittee, and that takes up even more time, especially when major events are coming up.

Oh well. Just in different leagues.

Anyway realised a new bus route again. Take BTC from the bustop at Central Forum. 10 mins later, Alight at Durnearn bustop. Board 151/153/154. 8-10mins later, alight at Trellis Towers. Board 5. 7 mins later. Either choose to alight and cross the overheard bridge to board buses to Bedok, or board 45.

a) Take buses to Bedok. 15 mins to reach the interchange

b) Take bus 45 , take 5 mins to reach busstop at Blk 521 Bedok North Road. Board 17, 10 mins to reach home. Total time: 40mins. ( Record)

c) Continue to take 5 and alight outside Changi General Hospital. Take around 20 mins and Change 17. 5 mins to reach home. ( 53 mins)

This is for all those who are seeking to get the fastest route from NUS to Bedok and Simei area.

All this timing does not include waiting time for the buses. If added into consideration, give it +15-20mins.

Buses that are difficult to wait will be: BTC- frequency is not high.

5- Slow during peak hours

Homecoming tonight! Damn proud of myself. 1 week completed 6 readings. Time to start on essays.
