on shallow hal and 50 first dates

sigh.. watched shallow hal and 50 first dates, again.. both movies were so sweet and nice, esp 50 first dates..makes me wish there is something more in my relationship.. ha.. oh wells.
now im hooked to the beach boys' "wouldnt it be nice".. the lyrics totally rocks...

on long walk home

crap. my previous entry somehow had some error. now have to retype.
had lunch with samuel at central at tm today. the baked rice with chicken chop was shiok. had soya bean with glass jelly drink as well. then mcflurry. terribly sinful~~~
finally i passed the photo from joyce to him. i almost forgot to bring that along with me. had a long talk with him. oh ya, he watched 'how to lose a guy in 10 days' as well. BULLSHIT! ha.
then, he told me something that kinda crushed me. hmm.
i decided to walk home from tm cos i needed some time to think about stuff. he insisted i take the train. but nah, i'd rather walk, plus i could burn some calories along the way. ha
i remember there was once when i walked to tamp from bedok. i took the mrt route. on hindsight, it was rather stupid of me to do that which there's a shorter route, which i took today. ha. but nvm, longer walk, more time to think. and it's not as if im in a rush or smthing.
so yup, i was so deep in my thoughts that i nearly got knocked down by a car. :/
it's a great feeling to walk alone, thinking, listening to music, enjoying the slight breeze...

crap, i think my injury's coming back.. and im coming down with a sore throat. i better go suck some lozenges...
50 first dates later.

i dont know anything la. argh

on spelling

went to watch shrek 3 with fana this afternoon. not bad, quite funny. though the guy who was sitting next to me didnt laugh at all. not a single bit. ha
anyway, while i was on the train to city hall, 2 men and 1 lady were standing in front of me. one of the guy, who was wearing a white shirt, was smsing his fren. he asked the black shirt guy next to him how to spell 'business'. when i heard it, i was like, ok.... cos he looks twenty plus mah.. the lady laughed at him that he didnt know how to spell 'business'. so the white shirt guy asked her how to spell. i nearly fainted when she said," busS..." only the black shirt guy could get it right... Maybe they should watch the upcoming 'spell cast' on channel 5... which features primary school kids in a spelling competition...hmm.
ok, i know im mean. ha. not everybody is english educated, yes.
anyway, im tired. i feel like sleeping now but it's not even 8. ha. oh yes, tmr sis doesnt have to work, which means no alarm clock waking me up. hopefully i can wake up later.. ha.
nth's on tv now. so boring.

on last day of work

yesterday was my last day doing admin. finally.. it's amazing how i have worked there for 5 and a half months.. i'll still be conducting lessons there la, but just no more admin. hooray. no more sitting in front of the comp, slouching and gaining fats at the waistline. ha. seriously, no wonder some office workers have so much abdominal fats. cos all they do is basically sit in front of the comp and prepare documents.. hmm.
anyway, on hindsight, i have learnt quite a bit of stuff.. that it's not easy to earn money.. ha, that's what my mum has been telling me since young.. and must be responsible in whatever we do, esp teaching the kids.. their results is somewhat in my hands.. ha. must make sure they really understand the concept. somemore the course so exp, cannot anyhow teach the kids.. and it's saddening to see kids having so many tuitions nowadays... plus the enrichment classes as well. haiyo. and oh ya, how a business is run.. ha.
and i discover myself along the way too. i used to think the hotel and service industry is pretty cool. that im interested in that. but then i realised i dont like to pick up calls and talk to people. ha. and i probably have to do much of this if i work in the service industry - serve people. so i actually discover that perhaps service is not my cup of tea. hmm.
another thing is i have a higher level of patience than i thought i actually have. ha. cos some of the kids have dificulty understanding certain concepts and i have to repeat quite a couple of times to them. i thought i would have snapped at them somehow.. but i didnt. phew. if not i'll have parents complain about me. ha.

now i feel so relieved and free. ha
went for a run at bedok reservoir this morning.. shiok man. the most i ran last time was 1 big round and 1 small round, plus to-and-fro from my hse, total is about 10.8km. today i did 2 big rounds and 1 small round! plus to the reservoir (cos i walked back home), so total about 14.3km.. took about 1hr 30mins.. shiok man. though the timing is terrible.. ha. now my legs and aching and i suffer from many abrasions. gosh. the most number of chafing i ever have.. sucks esp when im showering.. this makes me wonder how it's gonna be after 42km.. hmm. must apply a lot of lubricants.. haha.
just arranged to meet fana later for shrek 3 in town. a bit lazy to go tow, plus the crowd.. but oh wells, nth to do in the afternoon anyway..
oh ya, ch 5 showing 'how to lose a guy in 10 days', great show.

and today is his POP! too bad it's a private ceremony. so i cant go. boo

on stuff

had company lunch at sakura internation buffet ytd at downtown east. food was okay la..then had to go back to work. sian. today is my last day doing admin! woot. finally... after 5 and a half months of admin, i finally am done with it. phew.

enough about ytd.

sunday was so much better. he didnt have to book in on sunday... so we had the whole day to slowly do our stuff. the feeling was great.. no need to rush. went to his place to changi beach and back to his place...

on james patterson

warning: another crap entry ahead
i reserved james patterson's 'steps on a crack' months ago. finally, it's waiting for collection at the lib now. i jsut reserved another of his new thriller "the 6th target", and im number 53 in the reservations list, and there are only 24 copies available.. so, gonna wait for months ago. boo.
i realise once i like an author, i will aim to read all his/her books. and it's not easy for me to like an author. ha. everytime i go to the lib, though there are so many thrillers, i always go to the PAT section. or SHE (sidney sheldon). always, dun have what i want. so reservation it is.

on today

didnt sleep well last night. so felt tired during the morning run at mac. to think i was looking so forward to doing twice the 8km route.. ha. but, sucky things had to happen, like my right big toe nail and both feet's arch hurting. strange cos i have been wearing this pair of shoes for a long time and never have such prob. guess it's time for a new pair.. but i dont know which one to buy! im considering going running lab and let me see my running style and recommend shoes to me, but def more exp.. and i have already way exceeded my budget for this month. oops.
then went to bedok pool and took a dip in the water, getting a tan.. it felts great not to have to swim my usual laps first before relaxing.. ha. no sense of guilt for not swimming laps! woohoo. just stayed at one corner and enjoyed the sun and the pple ard.. well, there wasnt much space for lap swimming anyway. so many swimming lessons going on.. oh, some of the swimming coaches have such nice bods though they arent exactly very young anymore.. haha.
watched a bit of 'pride' before taking a nap cos i just couldnt keep my eyes open. so now im here, waiting for his sms to let me know he's safe from his live firing...

on colours

aha, this is so fun. tt time when i was out with the VIII, fana and weel were talking about some colour accent and colour swap thingy. i tried ytd on angela's pink top and the effect was nice, as seen on the photo of angela and michelle in the previous post. so i decided to consult the advanced user guide and see how it really works. tried the colour swap thingy and the effect was cool! the first pic is the original colour, the 2nd one is after using colour swap!

on joyce's departure







at this time, joyce would be on her plane to US liao.. she's going california, san francisco.. cool stuff.
went her place ytd. her luggage and stuff were still very messy, ha. and she has so many many clothes.. ho. her st nichs gang was there also. then me and mich were like, quite awkward cos there were only two of us but a lot of them. so we hid in her room. ho.
then they made dark choc fondue and invited us to join them. had some and it was yummy.
me and mich were stoning most of the time in the room, thank goodness angela arrived and it was not so sian anymore.. took some pics, talked a bit more and the three of us went off. hugged joyce and wished her all the best.

goodbye my dear sister. see ya in december when you're back for a break!

on run

yes, finally did my 16km run today. actually more like 15km run?
weather was good. BUT i had stitches. not one, but two. best.
luckily it went away on the way back. cool to check out new routes.
yup, like wad zzz said, we shld do this more often. definitely.
sadly, no yam pau in school today. boo. i was looking forward to that. ha
so it's off to joyce's hse later. she leaving tmr liao.. so fast..
ok, hopefully tmr's weather will be great too. and sat. ok, i hope every morning's weather will be good.

on weather and alarm clocks

it's so irritating how the weather always change to NOT suit your mood or plan.
for example, me and zzz have planned to go sch run ytd, but it rained. then, today, we're not meeting up to run, the weather is good. dang.
tmr is the 16km run which i so look forward to, and i really pray the weather will be fine. pls pls pls. ive been looing forward to this run for a super long time. i've been procrastinating this run, hehheh, and now that i have somebody to run with, the long journey wouldnt feel that bad anymore. pls let the weather be fine tmr...
and on thurs also, and fri. ai yah, basically let it be fine every morning and early afternoon. it's supposedly the 'summer' season now, with almost every fashion magazine featuring the bikini stuff, but it doesnt feel like summer to me, what's with the frequent unexpected rain.
and oh my, my legs are still aching, that i couldnt run properly ytd on the treadmill. i really need to hit mac reservoir more often.
yeah, ard 5 more days of admin and im done with work. now that i dun have anymore cognitive, it's gna be more admin and less money. boo.
and oh yes, i really wonder, how many alarm clocks do a person need?
for me, one will suffice.
but for someone in my family, my gosh. five?! (i think more)
actually, i do not mean 5 alarm clocks, i mean having the alarm to sound 5 times before she wakes up.
she is supposed to get out of the bed at ard 710am everymorning. her 1st alarm will sound at 6.45am, and subsequently at every 5 minutes interval. my goodness. cos she has 2 alarm clock, one's her phone and the other's her clock, so it's like, super loud when they sound tgt at the same time.
i realise part of the reason for me being up so early in the morning even though there is no school is due to her alarm. for me, just one alarm and im up.
i questioned her ability to use one alarm. she said no. ha.
then why cant she just sleep earlier every night?! haiyo.

Monday, May 21, 2007

on rain

dang. it rained. so im here at home instead of being in school running now. so i guess treadmill again.

Sunday, May 20, 2007

on ytd

i've just counted. 6 more days of admin left! alright. im so sian of doing admin liao, after doing it for more than 5 months... bleah. finally... then after that i'll just be having individual lessons, and slack a bit before school starts.
i'll focus more time on my running too! yeah.
im aching a bit after the sloppy run at mac ytd. ha. feels great. gonna run there more often. i wanna explore other longer routes.. but afraid i'll get lost. ho. must check out the routes on the map first.. hmm.
ytd was great. he came over and we had a wonderful time. then went chat masala at siglap. good indian food! the ambience was nice... yummy.
ok, dont ever go the siglap park connector cos the flies are super irritating.
then had a long talk, or rather he talked a lot. made me realise a lot of things... hmm.
today, no plans yet. prob just nuah at home. crap, i reserved my james patterson 'steps on a crack' like months ago, and it's not my turn yet.

on warehouse sale, anything

sat is here. hooray.
it has been a while since i have been awaken by my phone alarm, so it felt a bit weird this morning. ha. yes, great weather today. the mac route wasnt that slippery. had a not bad run with zzz. actually could have run more... but i was too lazy to tackle the slopes.. ha. had a very good and long talk with her.
then went with her to charles and keith warehouse sale. i didnt know about it till she told me. since i had nth on, so i went with her lor.
gosh, singaporeans are... ugly, especially the females. yes, though i am one myself, but some are seriously terrible.. the bigger size ones used their butts to push me to one side. i got pushed twice la. then some used the baskets or bags in their hands to poke you. some women who are quite heavily pregnant also went. gosh. it's such a dangerous place to go can. what if someone just push into them? then some brought their kids along too. my goodness. some filled their baskets with lots of shoes till their overflowing, then they stood near the exit/cashier there and looked through their 'goods' then dumped those they didnt want.
the poor men stood outside waiting for their partners to be done with their shopping.. Pedro was having a sale there too, but not that many males compared to females.

oh yes, now there's this new drink, call 'anything' and 'whatever'. 'anything' is for carbonated drinks, and can be cola, cola with lemon, root beer, blah blah. got 6 flavours. then 'whatever' is non-carbonated, more of the tea drinks. it's a pretty cool idea, cos when pple ask what u wanna drink, some of them tend to reply 'anything', so here's anything drink for you! ha. check out the website www.anything.com.sg

so sad. vj soccer didnt make to finals.. boo. mr tan must be so disappointed...

Friday, May 18, 2007

on wednesday

Ive learnt a lesson. Next time if i need to have my bladder full for a scan, dont, DONT ever have pizza (or bread, basically carbo), for lunch. My stomach felt so full as i kept drinking bottles of water to fill up my bladder. Not the best feeling in the world.
Anyway, went shopping after my appt. bought the stuff i want. yeah, but still missing some stuff. why didnt river island open in raffles city, like, last fri? then i could have checked it out yesteday. oh wells.
ooohhh.. oakley city duathlon on 20th may. dang, i missed the deadline. cos no need to swim in the sea, so im quite interested in it. dang.
please, let Mr Sun shine brightly today...

Im listening to 987fm now, muttons in the morning. the topic they are discussing now is on 'doing things alone'. example, eating, watching movie, shopping, etc, alone. to me, i have no problems with that at all. i have lost count on the times when i have been doing stuff alone. ha.
i know some people who really cant do things alone. they need somebody with them. i personally find joy in doing things alone at times. ha, yes, im a loner. but really, if im hungry, i can just go eat kunch or dinner alone la. is it wrong to fill my stomach when im hungry? i dun have to go asking pple, "hey u want go eat now?" or "hey, what you wanna eat?" with nobody else to consider, i can whatever and whenever i want.
movies also. some people fine people who watch movies alone pathetic and loser-ish. i have watched movies alone too! my first alone movie was 'bring it on' in P6. ha. i could still remember, it was after PSLE, i had just finished a holiday guitar course. i had been wanting to watch that movie for a long time, but couldnt find anyone else to catch it with me. initially, i thought it was pretty pathetic to watch alone too. i got a corner seat at the last row. as the movie was about to end its screenings soon, there werent many ppl in the theatre. i felt at ease cos there werent so many ppl there to judge me. but i really enjoyed the process. i mean, u dont have to talk when watching a movie. i hate talking during movies. so it doesnt make much difference to me if there's somebody with me. some people say the company is impt. yes, i agree with that, but i feel it is not a necessity.. yup. the advantage of watching alone is that i dun have to go ard asking pple when they are free, then have to arrange when to meet, must get everybody;s consent then can book, blah blah blah. tedious process. ha. if it's a small grp, like 2 or 3 ppl, it's ok la. bt more than tt, a bit problematic... ha.
shopping too. pls, i dun want anybody with me. ha. i dun need opinions too. if i need, i'll ask the person in the stall. though some of them may lie to get me to buy the clothes, but hey, it's my money. i buy whatever i feel comfortable with. i dun need to get the consent of others to decide if i shld get something. -shrugz-

on 'a watched phone never rings'

as the saying goes, "a watched pot never boils'. im gna modify it to 'a watched phone never rings'.
ha, last time, whenever i had lessons, i would leave my phone on my desk cos i dun want any distractions and it's not good to be using the phone in class. then whenever lessons had ended and i checked my phone, most of time i wld have missed calls or sms. i like the feeling of anticipating pple to ring my phone. ahha.
but recently, cos i was waiting for a certain someone's sms, i brought my phone in during lessons la.. then if got free time, i'll stare at the phone, willing it to make that soft 'beep'! but it never did.. and when it did, my heart would jump and quickly press the 'read' button. then heart would drop when it wasnt that someone.
but ytd, i willed myself to leave my phone on my desk. then i went for my individual and cogntitive lessons. after my ind lessons, i got 2 missed calls, and after cog, i got 6 SMS! ahaha. childish i know. but it's like, yeah! i got msges! so it's like, i just dump the phone at one corner and msges come pouring in...
so, a watched phone never rings. ahaha. ok, crap entry, i know.

on compliments

ok, great. so my confirmed races are
1)milk run
2)Saucony Run

I realise i need to leave a weekend off for my Bintan Trip! Uh-oh.. i have to ask angela to have it on the 15/7 weekend... the mizuno run is on 22/7... hmm..

seems like a great plan. i chiong the first two weekend, then the third weekend can rest my body... ha. i deserve the break. hoho. provided i put in my best effort la, which i should, considering the amount of sweat, time and MONEY on them.. ha.

I realise it feels great to receive compliments. like for today, norman said i am doing a good job in my individuals lessons cos jia hui is applying the techniques taught to her in her assesment, and louisa enjoys her lessons. i mean, come on, who actually looks forward to tuition right... ha. though both of them fail their assessments, there have been improvements.. so that's good! ha.
and karishma, my cognitive student, actually used red, blue and black markers and wrote 'i love you' in huge fonts on the whiteboard. ha. and she asked me to be her tuition teacher. ahaha. so cute.
oh ya, and last week, a schoolmate of mine complimented me too.. ha.
so now i know, i shall take notice of ppl more and praise them when necessary. i think compliments must come straight from the heart, and should be in suitable amounts, if not it will seem too fake. like, those high end parties where people put on a mask and act fake and go ard telling pple how beautiful their gowns are, but deep inside they think the gowns are hedious. ha, yes, such things do happen in the real world.
so, a little goes a long way!

run

Lately, I feel like my running is not going anyway.. so ive decided to check out the upcoming races and gonna taken part in some of them.. though some of them can be quite expensive...hmm

7)Stanchart 2nd dec. 42km.

Ha. yeah, shall try my best to take part in all of them. at least i have a goal when i run.. though my final aim is stanchart in dec, but must take part in all these races to keep myself going.. collecting some goodie bags is not bad either! ha. actually, these goodie bags are not exactly free, cos have to pay to participate in these races... ha. oh wells.
supposed to be running at east coast now with sze ling.. but raining.. sian. guess it's treadmill again.. i need to do my lungs some favour and get out there and run...

Sunday, May 13, 2007

he came

he actually came my place and passed me the book. :) thank you so so much.

photos






haiyo. some images can be uploaded, but some cant. irritating.
gosh. what the hell is wrong with my blogger.. the toolbar doesnt seem to be working and i cant add image. argh.

took some photos ytd during the outing with VIII, minus hanisah. poor girl, and her classmate... feel sorry for her loss..
anyway, before they came, i went la senza to check out some pyjamas... which cost 55 bucks.. which is like so not worth it.. then went tangs, but nth nice..
then off to levi's signature, which i really want to check out for a very long time.. but it was disappointing... the jeans are so high waisted! but much cheaper compared to levi's la.. tried some, but not very nice.. hmm.. i wana check out ripcurl at raffles city shopping centre.. soon. ha, dunno when.

caught spiderman 3 again. somehow, the show seemed nicer when i watched it the 2nd time. jsut like spiderman 2. ha. as expected, debre cried. suprisingly, wei wei cried as well. ha.

then, we went to eat at fig and olive, then off to desserts at secret recipe... i tell u, that was pure sinful indulgence... mmm.. too bad they didnt have their signature marble cheesecake.. heck im gonna try it, somehow. ha. i only went to bakerzin before with sis, never secret recipe.. i must say, i totally enjoyed my virgin experience. haha. looking forward to more treats from secret recipe! hoho.
then, walked up to the open top at vivo and took some photos.. we witnessed a great sunset, but couldnt capture it on my camera.. the effect wasnt as good. boo. as wei wei had to leave, we quickly took some photos and then she bounced. oh ya, debre took up abt 75% of the photos that were taken ytd. haha. typical her huh.
then he came! ha. it was pretty funny. cos the rest was bouncing le mah, so i called him asking where he was, told him i was somewhere near fig and olive. he said he was too, then i was like, huh, where. suddenly, i felt a tap on my shoulder. there he was. ha.
introduced him to the group. so sweet of him to make the effort to remember their names and what they are doing now.. so much better than 'wood'. ahaha. oops.
sat down and talked for quite a while, then bounced when he felt a bit unwell. took bus 30 home. the journey was pretty fast cos the driver was driving rather recklessly.. ha. he took 80 home.. which i must say is a super long route... it reminded of the time when there was a soccer match held at old ccab, then samuel and aurelia took 66 back to bedok... that took them abt one half hours? my goodness.. i was scolding samuel for being nonsensical cos he took that bus and he made aurelia took the bus with him. he said cos he saw that the bus was gg bedok, he didnt care and just boarded the bus.. ha. funny.
today, to his hse and slack...
oh ya, im waking up at 7 am now.. sometimes at 6 plus am. i so dun understand why.. argh. though i feel tired, but somehow, i just cant fall asleep once i wake up. argh.

Friday, May 11, 2007

stupid dates

argh. i have just thrown $41 down the drain. why? cos i booked the wrong date for spiderman3. i swear i checked the date correctly before i chose the time. but somehow, i ended up booking for today. wah biang.

then i went to check my mail. i saw the confirmation email tt says 11 may. i was like, shit man. i went gv website to check again. 11 may. best.
like sis said, im cursed.

this is not the first time such thing has happened to me. first was 'wild hogs'. thank goodness nobody in office wanted the tix, if not i malu like siao. then spiderman 3. when i went for my sports med appt, one or twice, i got the appt date messed up as well and made myself look like an idiot in front of the receptionist cos i couldnt get my dates right.
oh my gosh.

and now, i cant enjoy the security of having the tix in my wallet cos i didnt book using internet and thus paid via credit card cos the gv website is down. had to call them. now i have to be there, 30 or 45 min earlier if not the tix will be released. i just pray they will be punctual. argh.
Finally i've settled the details on the movie. Finally.
anw, luckily i went to the pool yesterday, cos it rained this morning..
rah, i must really watch what i eat now sia.. the exercises are not helping me at all. this totally sucks.

i cant wait for tmr to come.
Oh yah, me and huiying did a little countdown ytd at the office. we each have 11 more days of admin to go! i can hardly wait. im getting so bored of this. at least having lessons is not so bad. and i cant imagine how wei wei can actually stand repeating a topic 1o times to her 10 students. i have 4 and i am already so sick of the topic. guess im just not cut out to be a teacher. ho.

yeah, talked and msged him ytd night. feels so much better. :)

Thursday, May 10, 2007

i must say yesterday was shitty. but luckily things got better at night after thrashing it out. why does this always happen? argh.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007

oh ya, and some people are just so unappreciative of what others have done for them. shant waste my time on them.
i was on my way to the airport yesterday in the train. when i boarded the train at bedok, there was this another guy who boarded the train as well with his father. He was wearing a cap and could see his shaven head, plus he was carrying a bag with his name "Kent ong Y H" written on a tape. the first thing that cant to my mind was, "could he be chaoliang's friend?" so i msged samuel and asked if he has a bunkmate with that name. he didnt reply me immediately.. But i was observing that guy, he seemed to be quite slim built leh, not like what chaoliang had told me before... hmmm..

then i met joyce and pau at starbucks. the airport was super cold. lucky i bought my sweater with me.. as it was early, and samuel not there yet, so i walked around... then finally, he replied me, saying yes, tt's his bunkmate..
I was like, Oh! interesting...
then i told samuel about him.
finally, samuel reached airport, but he was at T1 while we were at T2.. diao.. so took shuttle bus to T1 cos the skytrain was not operating...
barely saw samuel for a while then he had to report. saw evan and david there.. so only 3 vj guys huh... pathetic.
apparently all of them had to wear a belt and their shirts tucked into their pants. they looked so nerdy la, plus the specs. ha. i expected more hunks... but well, it wasnt up to my expectations. haha.
It was gna be the last time joyce and samuel gna see each other for a while since she's gg california soon... they hugged and teared a bit.. so sad.. then suddenly i rmbed we had something for samuel. quickly passed to him. took pic, then he had to go liao. oh before tt, he took pic with his real family. his whole family was there, plus the sister's bf. ha
oh and samuel toldkent about me and we said hi. hoho. and he didnt see me on the train.
talked a bit with sister also.. apparently we share the same thoughts on a certain someone... hmm..

dang, something's wrong with blogspot, i cant upload images..

Tuesday, May 8, 2007

im disgusted with myself.

Monday, May 7, 2007

Hmm.. monday... im alone at the first level, holding the 'fort'..
Got quite a bit of work to do. yeah. at least time seems to pass faster this way.

Anyway, i had quite a good night sleep ytd. knocked out at ard 8.45pm and slept dreamlessly till ard 6am. It felt so good to have undisturbed sleep. not tt i always get disturbed sleep, but dunno why, for the pass few days i have been having difficulty falling asleep.. i would toss and turn for abt an hour to an hour half before dozing off... but ytd was different. shiok man.

this morn went ttsh. saw joyce ho. she looked like she was wearing a cleaner's uniform. but oops, she is assitant to a physiotherapist! ha. she has been doing this since march.. so apparantly she's gonna take physio in uni.. cool stuff.. She complimented me. ahaha.

anyway, today's blood taking was pretty ok. took so many tubes of blood even the nurse was a bit amazed. To those out there who have thick veins, lucky you. For people with thin veins like me, sad to say, when drawing blood, you often find yourself in a situation where the nurse is unable to find a vein and will hit repeatly on your arm. afterwhich she pokes the needle in but hey hey! she misses the vein! no blood is being sucked out and your arm hurts! If you're doing mulitple blood tests, too bad, she'll keep using the same vein then. so, the same hole is being poked so many times cos your other veins are too bloody thin.
when i reached home, i contemplated whether to run or not, cos well, i dun wanna feel giddy. when i stepped onto the stationary treadmill, i knew the answer liao. ha, i quickly changed into my gear and did short intervals. as usual, mum and sis asked me not to run. again, i defied them. bleah.

hmm. im missing him like crazy now.. and it's only monday! horrors of horrors... but nvm, i got stuff to keep me occupied, time will seemingly pass faster this way. ha. i wonder how's he coping with his leadership position now.. hmm... i got faith in him. :)

today's weather great. hopefully tmr's will be too! i seriously need a tan. my yellow skin tone is getting disgusting.

great. now my

1) fat figure is gna get fatter
2) round face is gna get rounder
3) zitty face is gna get more zits

cos of my pills. great, just great. i hate this.

but at least to make my day better, i had a great day today with family and him!!! went with family to 'yum cha' to eat dim sum. yummy.. my fav char siew pastry... spent 80 plus bucks there.. it's great how everytime we go out, we'll go hunting for good food.. sadly joyce is leaving soon!!! i dun want her to go~~~ at least for samuel, he'll be back by end of may.. boohoo...

then, we went zone x, or it is x zone, i cant rmb, but it has been ages since ive stepped into an arcade, and i must say, it is super fun. personally, i have this thing agst arcade la, cos i feel it's a waste of money and the ah bengs and ah lians are there... so i would avoid them. but, i must say i change my perspective after today.
I guess a little arcading (if there's sucha a word), is not too bad. we used the change from the food to get a card, with $8 inside.. then we played daytona first. I was first!!! ha, poor brother was last. ho. then we went to play the bball shooting game, which was lousy.. ha, we couldnt shoot well at all. then me, mother and father went to play bishy bashy while sis and bro played another game. it was so fun. haha. too bad not enough token, if not i would like to play house of the dead. hoho.
the saw some cool war game played using cards... and this guy spending hours on the drums game, then this plump girl dancing para para. i seriously dun understand the para para thing at all. the moves are heidous. ha.
all in all, i may step into an arcade sometime soon. ha.

Then, made my way to buangkok to his place. met him along the way. gosh. i miss him so much. spent some quiet time with him, then we went compass point to makan, then took train with him to outram then we parted.
now now, what shld we do next week?? hmm...
i always think of myself as a person with a high tolerance of pain. there have been quite many 'painful' moments in my life, and i have sorta grown immune to pain... let's see the few highlights of the moments.. ho

1) in Primary school, on my way home, i tripped over a rock and caused my both of my knee caps and elbows to bleed. it was so bloody painful. when i went home, my mum applied some medical lotion on my wounds. i screamed so loudly that my 7th floor neighbour could hear me. i stayed on the 5th floor. pain factor: 8/10. perhaps if i have sustained these wounds now, pain factor would be so much lesser.. but tt was my 1st contact with real pain. ha

2) extraction of teeth and putting on braces in sec school. the extraction part wasnt tt bad, it was the afterpain.. gosh. 4 teeth were extracted.. then after i put on the braces, my teeth were so pain i couldnt even eat properly. oh ya, plus the ulcers on my gums and lips... but the pain was more tolerable after a few months. in fact, it became nothing after tt. pain factor: 6/10.

3) the many falls i had when i played netball in sec school. ha, the sprains and the skin injury. pain factor: 2/10.

4) my op. gosh. the blood tests, injections here and there, the post-op pain, the IV drip. gosh. i gotta give that 9/10. spare me from those again, pls.

5) the stupid doc who didnt know how to draw blood when i went k k early this morning. gosh, there was no blood at all in the tube. she didnt know how to draw blood at all. all the bloodtests i had before werent THAT bad, but this one was seriously horrible. my first time crying over a stupid draw blood session. no wonder she kept apologizing to me after that. to think she said i was the 1st patient to ever cry in a session like this, and i have a low pain tolerance. hello. pls, u are the one who suck at it. dont blame others for ur misdeed. pain factor: 7/10.

ok, gotta bounce.

words

sometimes i wish i can speak better. in the sense that I can console, motivate, inspire, counsel people better. Or i can say something that is so inspiring that people can draw their inspirations from it and find themselves being stronger. I was just surfing around, looking at quotes and all. it's pretty amazing how some pple can speak so well.

Oh wells.

Please get well soon...

sat

So, Singaporeans are rather nice actually. The person who picked up Dad's IC actually mailed it to us. There wasnt any return address on the envelope though. If not can thank the person.



Anyway, ran at Bedok Reservoir this morning. And it was a super duper feel good run, except maybe if i wasnt cramping... anyway, I ran faster than usual and I wasnt tired. The fresh morning air, wind blowing in my face, overtaking other runners, sweating dripping from my body... super shiok feeling. I simply adore this.



Then went for cognitive. Just 2 hrs and im off work! Took train down to city hall to buy some stuff, then walked to funan to finally buy my laptop cover which cost a bomb... but the service was good. The shop that i went to actually hires non-singaporeans.. hmm..



Then walked back to the bus stop in front of st andrews cathedral to talk a bus down to south bridge road.. I wanted to get to telok ayer street but didnt know which drn to walk. so asked this old man who gave me very useful information. I was lucky to get someone who knows how to get there cos some people just give crap info and make u walk one big round...



Anyway, weather was great, my shades was out, wearing my comfy birkies and skirt and i went to explore the area... it was really interesting cos i havent really been to that area before. Before A levels was over, I told myself one day I'll explore this area. I have been putting it off till today...

hmm, anyway, i went to ann siang hill!!! finally man.. I have heard so much about it on tv shows, magazines and Im finally there. took some pictures. I felt like a tourist, reading the information on the boards, learning the history of the area. The colourful shophouses look amazing. Then i walked down to club street as well. I wanted to get to haji lane, but didnt make it.. will go there someday. I love exploring places ive never been before. next stop, either haji lane, little india, or chinatown.

Actually, Ive not really explored the north bridge/south bridge area yet.. hmm. will have to go back there again.



Oh, i also went into the china square central. but nth inside leh. Only some toy shops..

Anyway, then i walked down to chinatown and took the train there to Buangkok. I will be there again tmr to meet family for yummy dim sum. cant wait man.



Reached home in time for 'prince turns into frog'. I was so into it when it was first shown on ch u.. i went to rent the vcd as well.. ha. The 'Ming Dao' era...



Ok, some photos Ive taken...

army

Initially, I thought army is, well, something every man should go through to be more mature and disciplined. And that it is normal to suffer in army cos then people will grow and change.

But i guess Im wrong.
Too much of something can really drive people up the wall.
I know Im not in army and therefore Im not in the position to comment cos i really cant experience what the guys are expriencing inside.

But I guess there should be a limit to some stuff. shant elaborate here.
How i wish im right there beside you...

im back

Hi world, Im back.
It has been a looonnngg while, hasnt it?
And a lot of things have happened in this 'while'.
Im too lazy to type every little thing.

Anyway, Dad lost his IC. and the policeman refused to take down his statements cos it's only Ic and not the whole wallet. Great. Soon we'll see paint splashed on our door cos some idiot used his Ic to borrow money from loansharks. Of cos, i hope the kind soul who picked it up will return it to him. Oh wells.

Oh ya, im blogging during work. im dying of boredom here. I was looking forward to evening time cos I have lesson and time will seem to pass faster when I have lesson. but my dear shawn has to be sick now and so he wont be coming. great.

sick sick sick.
Everybody is sick.
He is sick.
Im sick.
His mates are sick.
Shawn is sick.
Fana is sick.
Her mother, father, sister are sick.

Why? Cos of the stupid weather.
Why? Cos of stupid human activities.

He is suffering inside la.. argh. wish there is something i can do for him to make him feel better... :(
