adventure ra

I dont know how i can run 5km distance for Adventure Racing IG. Its like we keep going on and on. It now make sense to me about running for very long time. Its that ,you have to keep moving on , to keep running , even how badly your body says u to stop (this is the worst kind of feeling when running). But doesnt mean u stretch the limits of your body; the ig seniors say we must tell "anything" that bothers u . So comforting right to hear that.

We staright after warm ups, we ran outside campus grounds ...................Now thats is some kind of adventure ...... Just like the freedom of it. They Ever tour arnd Khatib...somemore don noe where lah...i know i've joined the right ig. when they first talked abt it. (sat in circle at admiralty park beside campus, arnd dusk )

Had no cramps, stitches in the 5km, but dizzy when stopping....i dont know if the rest also feel like that lah ??!?!!? i /partner was always put at the front, (rotating, lngest tm ) Too bad little communications.. Next time can improve lah. But really impt thing is that "journey matters with destination" Shudnt always think when to end. It will end when we reach destination. Like that what becomes of the journey. Skipped? Enjoy the scenery?, at the same time Pacing ourself.

Think of ways to make Journey worthwhile. 'adventure racing' is an art diff fr competitive running, or trekking (at least these are the various types running available ) theres more elements also.

Aftermath; lie ,lie a farce, i was feeling okay only that time, following days was so fatigue....

the making of a Renaissance Man.

...referring back to the "Vacation Time" post , this wil be on the my Idealism

{...its not just the way i want things to be.}

_______________

dealism to me, is being knowledgeable, cultured , while there have been many writings of these similar ideas , namely in one of my Aesthetics,Culture RJs and also Film Outing RJ abt what you want to tell the world,taking tickle test on what type of guy-featuring 'Renaissance Man' what i got, and everal findings, on the wicked' wikipedia and websites refer below

From the criterion of a Renaissance man who is;

sought to develop skills in all areas of knowledge, in physical development, in social accomplishments,and in the arts.

In so doing knowledge should be expanded thru education, traditional rigorous pedagogy though at times unconventional settings would be beneficial. 3.explore different methods in education,a liberal education,2. homeschooling, mentor-tutor^

The nature that knowledge be cultivated is to be holistic, "have broad interest or a superficial knowledge of several fields, but rather that his knowledge is profound"

2.compare this terms; Generalist to Specialist

Pysical Development thru athletics, sporting endevours, enrichment of the body, and fitness -"both mentally and physically. Being an accomplished athlete was considered integral and not separate from education and learning of there highest order."

Social acomplishments would be "... in addition to participating actively in the affairs of public life" applying these ideas to modern times, public servants ?

And the Arts by, aprreciation of Art in itself, or performing and expressing it, aesthetically. Leonardo DaVinci, my idolated figure or the archetype of the Renaissance ideal,Leon Battista Alberti was an "..was an architect, painter, poet"

2./3.explore Humanism in the Renaissance era

^The arts or skills were "liberal" because they were liberating. That is, they freed their possessor from the ignorance that bound the uneducated.

IG Matters--Floorball

I joined floorball during my polys CCa open house or in RP's term ,
'CCA' - Interest Group
'open house'- Student Life Fiesta/Activity
*will be abbreviated
^phrase quoted fr 'Be Still My Soul'

so thats the jargon that sums up Republics uniqueness and eccentricity
(more on this)...
whatever you call it, and on the SLA* day i joined a few IGs*, floorball being one of them, --not the only sport activity i partook--,
But the problem is i didnt came to the first few practice these 3 mths till June, so paiseh-lah to suddenly turn up 'out of the blue' and 'once in a blue moon' {idioms usage}

Its June and they sent me an email on Their Annual Camp, finding this a great oppurtunity for me to get-to-know the ppl but the game itself :$ ?? hahx. then the usual happened -- i woke up late off course...donnoe the timing...tot at this time..... {lame excuses}

Complaining; "See lah , I missed the chance, wat the **** !!" -actually i didnt said this in reality, just for laugh gags, hahx the dramatic climax, no theres no resolution. except to begin turn up after June.

Ok, hope i can order and revive^

My Life in Republic Poly

So, if u've been following what my post , seeing this imprint--> (more on this) as i said in the post 'The Ways of my Blog' , keepping to promise , im sure gonna write UP

so its all part of the excitement,yay %>

----------------------------------------
Ok , a day in RP is just like any typical poly, but is "uniqueness and eccentricity" is what makes it different fr the 4BigGiants^ And taking this post, to clear up any misconception on RP poor republic, y they all think abt u like that

1) Introduce Problem-Based Learning, so everyday given a problem relevant to topic sentencce of a particular module, search thru net, and present at the end of the day. sounds interesting ?!
as opposed to lectures and tutorials , +++segregated exams UTtest

2)Not teachers , not Lecturers but Fascilitators, i know of 1 jc who also replace this with that, so everyday , ull hear ppl calling "fasci, fasci" the exact opposite of-- fascist* so theres lesser grip or control on us, wic translates to Liberty and Freedom

3)Off course other layman terms that we substitute are, ald intro some in earlier post, likeGeneralAdmins Office--OneStop Centre (even have their own exp.), CCA-IGs, PerformingArtsTheatre-TheRepublicCulturalCentre, AGORA-a centred meeting place, UnderstandingTests, ReflectionJournals . will sound even more shiok when said in short form- say IG,RJ,UTs,TRCC

4)The Building itself is uniquely designed, says"...dont want to be stand out"-- hence its greyish industrial exterior.

Now on to more serious note,

> Students think its the worst poly among the 4BigGiants, We say; Cannot Be ! its different in approach will sure churn out many diff things fr ppl there.

>How come got no industrial attachment We say; The learning structure already ensures we have the necessary skills to perform in the working world.

>Propensity to take on all lower,lousier candidates We say;If RP didnt accept them who will?the 4BigGiants arent lowering their cutoffpt,ANWYs WE ARE SHORT OF INTAKE HAHAHX

So conclusion, eccentricity is always misunderstood, but its innovations are most progressive and original

thats all, the following post will be abt (more on this)_____________________________________

^a collective term for the other 4 polys', not to be confused with the GasGiants planets

+++after thought on learning structure
* a tyranical rule, dictatorship, wherein a fascilitator oversees ppl,but a fascist control ppl relentlessly

the Ways of my Blog

With regard to the previous post, I have to come up with some so called directives, to facilitate your reading.

So first, if you see ---> (more on this) ___________it denotes the issue will be brought up or at least is worth the talk, in the following posts. It may be directly after the current post. Or to be written until more favourable times.

-----> ....... _______ there will be many of these dotted lines dragged a few spaces more, for saying that im moving on to something different or a pause towards something.

------> ,\ ; \ : ________ these are the standard punctuation marks that'll you see in everday compositions, but its not so much use here. becos its tedious, and nobodys marking this blog.

------> {[(...........)]} ______ this are insiders dialogue. to tell what is going on without interupting the flow of the sentence. very useful for diverting attention.

---> eg.bard*/fat^/ +++SAT _____are all footnotes that u'll find at the bottom of the post, to expl the intended meaning.

--->eg.: :-\ %) *<________>

---> ------/_______ are both page breakers , or segments, to order the page not like its used here.oso another function.
