10:35:00 pm
Thursday, I went to do another make up class, bought a $1.10 breadtalk bread, and headed to PS Yamaha to get some books, and then Marks and Spencer to buy the choc digestives! I've only ever eaten MnS choc digestives once. And that was ONE biscuit way back in like 2003? When the band comm were out shopping for presents for bigshots. And I thought that was the most heavenly biscuits ever but have yet to ever eat it again! I wonder if it'll still taste as heavenly.
I came home and slacked around and only went to the pool in the evening cuz it rained in the late afternoon. Went to the pool to slack around and the lifeguard tried to talk to me again. Came out of the pool and was like running to the toilet cuz I wanted to pee. Then the lifeguard kinda shouted across the entire length "Wah today so early uh!" Like how you want me to respond? And I wanted to pee. So I just ran off and I think he must be cursing me cuz I dao-ed him haa.
DID NOT RUN!
Friday morning, left house even earlier than worktime, to get to Jurong East by 9am for the girls' lessons. After that, decided to head to NTU pool to swim. I really miss the pool! It was actually pretty clean and the water very clear also! :) It was SO PEACEFUL! I really enjoyed swimming there so much. And it brings some fond memories. Cuz it was in that pool, that I really grew up, and swam again! It was really very peaceful and still and so niceeeee to swim.
I got quite bored waiting for Rod to come and TEACH ME HOW TO PLUNGE. properly. So I did some pointless kickings. Up and down up and down kick kick kick. As I was heading into the middle of the pool, suddenly this guy started waving his hands around, bobbing up and down and was shouting for help. I got pretty scared like uhhhh what to do?! And I was a little far off, without goggles and cap (didnt wanna get tan lines) and didnt wanna watch a guy drown right in front of me haha. So I continued kicking while the lifeguard picked up that big orange buoy and ran all the way to the nearer side and threw the buoy.... I brought the buoy nearer to the guy and made sure he found it and gripped onto it. I was pretty surprised cuz he looked at me with some sort of surprise mixed with gratitude haha. And then I towed him and the buoy to the side of the pool. HAHA. I was, um-chio-ing after that. Like hahha! Lifesaving... hmmmmm...
And SO the roomie pangseh-ed....... Like Rod asked does she normally ps... and I was like 'No, I'm usually the one who ps haha!' but not stuffs w the band peeps larh. Usually other meetings with other groups I tend to consider ps-ing.
In the end, since I had nothing to do, and Rod was gonna go Sci Centre anyway (like without knowing how to get there in the first place haa!) we headed to see Da vinci. Like I kinda miss the science centre! Amazingly that albert einstein look-alike guy climbing up and down is still there! Like this other guy who went by commented "This guy has been climbing for at least 15 years!" haa. Walked around science centre. Pretty fun and amazing at first! But it got a little boring after awhile.
Da vinci was super super super long. And rather fascinating too. Like he's REALLY some sort of genius! Pretty cool... But it got really really tiring towards the end. (And Rod fell asleep during some video haa!) We continued looking around the different places till the science centre closed at 6pm!
So I decided to head to Toa Payoh only to find out tpy's pastamania CLOSED :( So depressing. So I went to buy a mango cake and sat outside the library to enjoy. Till this guy came to talk to me. I knew they were getting ppl to sign up for stuffs and I thought it's credit card so they usually not interested in students. As usual the first question was "Are you studying or working?" But anyway it turned out to be about CPF. And so we had a pretty interesting conversation.
He was pretty friendly (but irritating too like keep mentioning abt his ex and at one point of time I wanted to say "no wonder she's ur EX" haha) and he graduated from NTU last year. And I was pretty flattered when he said I look like some sports person. Like HAHA. For once uh. Not like my irritating office ppl who say "can't tell right!" ....................
And so he was like "are you from sports club?" and I went "you don't have to be in sports club to do sports............." SO we had a pretty interesting conversation, half an hr, about NTU, work, courses, CCA, hall, JCRC, CPF schemes, prudential, brothers etc etc
And I was bombarded by many more of such prudential ppl for the rest of the day at Toa Payoh. Like I was in a cant-decide day/mood. For like lunch/dinner I really couldnt decide what to eat! So I was walking up and down for like forever.
Today started off real badly. Like I got dropped very early in the ride. Like at sengkang. Then, I made this other guy keep waiting for me. But I was pleasantly surprised when he said he noticed me and that I'm usually somewhere in the front of the pack. But I didnt tell him tt's cuz it's my sis' wise strategy. Stay as front as possible so when you get dropped at least maybe can catch the end of the pack and not get like REALLY dropped. Cuz he was saying there're only a few lady riders.
I'm starting to realise all the angmoh's ride with ANZA and JR's more Singaporeans these days....
And then it poured like at coastal. Like REALLY pour. The headwinds were killing me. The entire coastal stretch it was pouring. I was cold, wet, miserable, tired, scared of the lightning and thunder and the rain got quite painful after awhile.
When the lorries and huge trucks sped by, for the first time I really felt their force like I actually flew left!
On a happier note, at least I memorised the route now (I hope! the real test will be next week and the funniest thing was I actually made quite alot of CORRECT turns that day!) and guess who I saw today haha.
BUT I banged again. Like this is getting to be a habit! And i'll NEVER ride the one way street part at ecp again. I really thought I was going to die and crash into the cars altho they were nice n going real slow. I really felt so unsteady I really really thought it's any moment soon that I'm just gonna crash and fall off like AGAIN :( So miserable. And then setting the alarm at 8.30 cant even get my bro down earlier. And then he cant even drive backwards. Like I had to cycle all the way to carpark B1. Cold, wet, miserable and VERY tired :( Okay I'm thankful he fetches me every sat morn. But still sighhhhh. Cooperation with the sis is the best. At least she understands. Like okay depending on who reaches first etc.
Today's bang against the car door into that ~!@@#$%@ person left my handlebar like totally disfigured and out of shape and I had to like pull it back. Cleaned my bike like again in the van. Reached acjc, very miserable but at least I wasn't late cuz the captain reached then too so just as long as u're before the captain means u're early! haha.
TOday's turnout was not bad, with Rod Songloo Bud Zj Marcus Martti DesmondS (it's pretty funny how he said they're not objects where there's plural form haa!) and THREE OF US GIRLS. wow amazing haha. Sue me and amanda! It was actually a good training, as tired as I was from the ride. So I was feeling really happy after that.
It was defined as good because 1) I tried to do my best 2) the numbers didnt mock me 3) I wasn't swimming beside any monsters whose waves make me drown like the other day 4) we did 50s! I hate 100s cuz the looping makes me drown in the waves. I feel like I'm getting tossed everywhere. 5) Songloo's suggestions on plunging worked wonders! I'm so amazed by him hahhaa!
Thanks to Rod for the ride to Leng Kee CC to collect our "race packs" which consisted of 3 very useless vouchers and a shirt. And suechee's grandma's hse is like in Blk 141! Which is like just THERE. So funnyyyy.
This week has been such a time-alone week! How very very lovely. Haven't had so much slack time to myself since like forever! I cant even recall since how many years ago. After resting for like 30mins, it was lesson time, then church, then lesson again, then to PS I went, to get the cookies! Eat pastamania! And then home sweet home.
It keeps raining. So irritating. Like KEEP ON RAINING.
Hopefully I can sprint well tmr goodnight!
