And my holidays are almost over! The rest of the days to the start of semester are almost packed fully.
31 July ~ 6 Aug: Orientation Week
7 Aug ~ 8 Aug: Kuala Lumpur Trip
10 Aug: The dreadful start to another academic year.
3 months passed rather quickly. I really didn't do much meaningful stuff, but I didn't feel that I've rested enough. For one, I hadn't been sleeping enough in the first place. And it's for sure that I won't be, for the rest of the one week left.
School, here I come. For orientation, that is.

I went to take IPPT today (for 24th birthday), just 38 days after the previous one (for 23rd birthday), as I reckon that the chances to maintain the Silver should be quite high.
Here's the comparison of the 2 IPPTs.
1. Sit Up
Today: 41 times (5.0 points) ; Last month: 41 times (5.0 points)
2. Broad Jump
Today: 230cm (3.0 points) ; Last month: 230cm (3.0 points)
3. Chin Up
Today: 12 times (5.0 points) ; Last month: 12 times (5.0 points)
4. Shuttle Run
Today: 10.0 secs (5.0 points) ; Last month: 10.0 secs (5.0 points)
5. 2.4km Run
Today: 10:00 (5.0 points) ; Last month: 10:30 (4.0 points)
I've got the EXACT same timings/results for the 4 static stations, but managed to shave 30 seconds off my 2.4km timing. Muahahaha, let me boast that this is my best timing EVERRRRRR. Another S$200 in pocket!

I caught 2 good movies back-to-back today.
“唐山大地震”isn't a docu-movie. This 2-hour-long story revolves around a pair of boy-girl twins, whose lives were changed dramatically when the mother could only choose one of them to save. The movie dealt with issues like choices, favouritism, identity, forgiveness etc.
"Inception" is one of the 2 best movies I've watched this year, after Avatar in January. Impactful movies like Inception, will stay with me for quite awhile. I definitely salute the director who took 8 years to fine-tune and produce such an intriguing story, and seriously wonder if Asian filmmakers can ever keep up. This is probably one rare movie that I witnessed the audience CLAPPING after it ended, and remaining in their seats to start DISCUSSING with their friends. Like "Avatar", the main mechanism that kept the story going, was BRILLIANT. And it's super rare that I did not at any one time doze off in this 2.5-hour movie.
With the 2 movies today, I would probably have concluded my movie quests this Summer. Having caught at least 4 great movies this Summer, especially the ones today, is really something worth feeling happy about.

Our 超级星光大道6.5 was a success. Though it was really a Karaoke session, the rules and structure made it really into a serious competition, and for us noobs who can't make it to the real stage, it was a great satisfier.
We had real one-to-one PK. We really gave points to each contestant. We gave comments. And we ranked the contestants. It was Competition first, Friendship second.
The champion for this time was Bingyi!
I took videos of parts of the process, and will be compiling and uploading them shortly.
---------------------------------
And we hopped over to witness the Singapore auditions for 超级星光大道7, just in time to catch the last 4 contestants and the results. 11 people was chosen out of 500, and they'd be competing in Taiwan very soon.
