Mm.. after weeks of seeming endless preparations, not one, but *TWO* ICA presentations are formally over. We didn't do too shabbily as well.

Anyway, the crunch is just beginning.. here's where i really learn to juggle everything: coming presentations, exams, and the bladdy lawn bowling trip to KL in july.

Now just for the uninformed, Lawn bowls isn't 10-pin bowling. No, its not even "lawn-mowing". (You know who you are.) Its far different, with you rolling elliptically shaped balls towards a small white ball. google it and u'll know what im talking about. Anyways, the upcoming trip is to KL, in the Asian Lawn Bowls competition, playing singles in the U-25 category.

Here's the crunch: Presentations before, exams before and after, presentation preparations after, exams after.. and that 7 days worth of academic time (a bladdy damn lot, mind you), lost just by going to the trip.. I really tend to wonder now and then.. is it really worth it? The team is generally rubbish; they somehow managed to come up with teams that are both inept teamwork-wise, hopelessly stubborn in their own way, and politically correct/incorrect, however you may choose to see it.

Ooh, that was 3 things.

Anyways, the real reason that's fuelling my ~~desire~~ interest to go for this trip, is really the rest of the (relatively) young ones going.. my youth teammates. I really missed the times when we all went overseas to compete together; all the times when we truly enjoyed the trip. So many good memories gained before, I want to add a few more to that marvelous collection

Alas, its not gonna be that easy this time. Wavering interest, personal feuds, general unrest amongst the management & us.. I really can't help but wonder what this trip symbolises. A swansong for some? A holiday trip to KL with bowls as a fringe activity? I wanna try to do the best as I can, as with any other trip that I've undertaken before, but I'm finding less and less reason to do so.

*What's The Bloody Point?*

Bah. Back to sociology mugging. exams' this coming wednesday.. can't afford to slack up now.. Still wanna keep that goal open and viable to me: top 10% of my course cohort. We'll see.
