I hope the trigger ball works and the breaststroking later on won't make the legs scream! The weather seems REALLY fine today! Cheers! Don't quite want to turn black. I'll stay a few shades fairer than the Jambion thank you :)
The rides have been real fun! Saturday's 5.30am ride through the cold air with the sis, up the MOUNTAINS of NUS to Thomson, joining the 6.40 JR ride to the east! It's seems soooo much easier now. The east I mean. It's so un-hilly RELATIVE to the west. So I clocked mileage and time like never before. Except I wanted to die sitting outside the house. And for the first time I ALMOST got gastrict. At least, I thought it was what it was.
I was just so moodless I didn't want to teach. But the thought of $45 for 1hr15mins of my time made me drag the unhappy cycling legs over to the condo. Yes, I teach for money. But I did have fun in the end! :) Oh, I was cutting coloured paper and using up my sticker collection. So I now have a whole bunch of POINTS! I felt, like, a kid.
CHurch was good. We sang nice songs. The best part was Pastor Peter Loy preached. Hehe. SO FUNNY. We spent half the time laughing. It was good though. And to hear him sing again. Ahhhhhhhhh :) Had a lift back from TTK thank YOU!
I spent the rest of the time hanging around till I decided to go sleep. Was so tired by then!
This morning was sooooo windy! But surprisingly when riding it wasn't that bad. Cass wasn't riding. I wanted to hook onto a group going west to get myself to NTU. There was only Marcus who was meeting JFT and son at Casurina. And he was gonna turn around to join the 830 longhouse. So I followed him from longhouse to the lights. Where a JR group stopped. And so, with Marcus' encouragement, I decided to hook onto that group to follow to the West.
Now, it turned out to be pretty slow in the beginning. But at Mandai, Cycleworkz came up and whacked. And so the speed went VROOOOOM! In the middle of Mandai, the traffic lights were my saving points. And then I was dropped at Kranji Reservoir. So small gear it was again, and I spinned all the way back to NTU.
Apparently, I spoke to this girl, and she said that's the fastest JR group! And that the girl in front there was, Christina! (So I was like.... oooooooh O-KAYyyy)
Interesting, it was!
So, I am sitting back in hall, feeling like the world is spinning around pretty fast and everything's going topsy turvy. I just wanna crawl away somewhere into a hole really :'(
You ask why? I point up.
I am really really sorry if I spoiled your morning :'(
I feel very small.
Sorry :'(
I just feel like typing and typing and typing and typing and, talking to MYSELF. I wonder if there's a limit to how many characters are allowed in each post.
But, I gotta go, IHG! TXR says I HAVE PIE! Yay :)
The day shines brighter when I get to see YOU!
Today's 4hr ab311 class was.............. lonnnggggggg........ We, the critique group, are, FRIENDLY PPL! Hehe. Cooperate, yes! I stole upstairs during the break just to use the internet to....... check for updates! And reading my inbox made me one happpyyyy girl :) I left my hp in hall today so didn't get to see anything till the afternoon!
By the time lesson ended and I got back hall it was pretty late. Settled the weekend's activities and took a nap.
The diet plan seems to have made me GAIN 1KG! Hmmmmm................. Maybe it's the water I'm drinking? Or.... the fats turning into muscles? Hmmmm.... that's what I'd like to think!
So...... Looks like I'm gonna be in hall everyday this week! Hope I'll survive the 5.30am ride tmr! It's a drizzly rainy day here! Really nice weather :) No run, no ride, no swim, STATICS x5!
Today's verse of the day is 1 Peter 5:8
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
It's interesting that Pastor Dom pointed out, the devil is described here as a roaring lion. Roaring? --> toothless (ie powerless!) All he can do is, roar. Hmmmmmmm.....
Here's a song for everyone! There's this accapella version at home in the cd! Will upload it one day! In the meantime....
Training is very!
First you have to change and get ready. Then warm up. Then the main exercise itself. Cool down. Statics. Cool down. Shower.
THEN, when the muscles don't feel right, you spend close to ONE HOUR triggerball-ing. And then the next hour, ice-pack-ing. Well, hope the time was well spent! Legs be better tmr!
I like to wave at ppl when running around school. Makes me feel like...................... a CYCLIST! Hehe.
After 3 years, I still detest presentations as much. Just that, the preparation time taken to do each is getting shorter and shorter.
And the butt is really tightly achey and all!
I spent the entire afternoon skype-ing with not just the one in Thailand, but with the one in Malaysia too! Hehe :)
Let's leave you guys with a song from the Beatles!
After settling all our project meetings online last night, and talking to ppl on MSN, I thought the Jambion will be asleep by then. It was 12+! But lo and behold, the moment I turned off my light and jumped into bed (yes, literally), the taxi called and guess who msged? :)
I am HAPPY to hear all is well! :) Although it was sooooo late by then! :(
Sooooo......... Today marks the start of my new diet and training programme! I think Leewei thinks I'm weird. The diet I mean haha.
Anyway today's aa304 class was 8.30. I caught the bus phew so I wasn't late. To the pool I went after that. With a hungry stomach :( new diet plan remember. Completed what I set out to do with really achey arms though. Had Leewei for company and lunch too! Yupiantang! Yummmmm.
The sun is SOOOoooo hot I'm putting off the PM training till the eveninnnggggggg.
Off to catch a few winks!
/edit
And so the ride was cancelled cuz I fell asleep for one half hours and was just so achey all over!
Did a really bad run -- bad in the sense that, WHY ARE YOU SO ACHEY MY DEAR MUSCLES! But I had much fun seeing soooo many ppl along the way!
My internship "colleague"/friend came passing by on his bicycle going "Jojo!" And so, he's going EY too! Audit that is. Then I met the sis at the junction waiting for Mok. Passed by Xinyi, that PotongPasir friend, some hall 15-ers, Sheena Ang, DEBORAH! (hhaha!) she was running tooo! Xinyi (nbs one), Estee, Adamson, and Wilson went zooming by on his bike going "Jocelyn Jocelyn!" So all in all I had a very fun run, despite pouring like a tap. I was SOOOOOoooo sweaty :( But the run was done in good time so I'm okay
Cheers to a brand new day with achey butt muscles!
The ice pack and the trigger ball are gonna be my good friends for the next few weeks in my let's-lose-3kg-before-Jiwen-gets-back plan!
I shall BLOG!
I hope the Monsieur is having a safe, smooth journey through the blue skies and white clouds to the land of Dois and maybe Sutheps?
And, SORRY ROOMIE! Hehehe. You can add me on Skype now and we can video talk!
TOday has been a pretty long day. Bad sleep, again. Too excited I think! Because both of Singapore's fastests were riding over in the morning!
Day 10! But time to reset the counter for another 40+ days :(
I had a most most most happy morning with my happy squirrel which I didn't quite want to let go! Buuuuutttttt........ :)
Then I took a trip around the entire school compound. First, I realised I didn't bring my thumbdrive. That was okay cuz I can more or less remember my points. THEN, I realise I didn't bring my handphone. That, is NOT OKAY. So, back to hall I went. Up down up down up down, yes, THREE TIMES.
French class was not bad. I made a new friend! Our professeur kept asking ME questions. Cuz I'm seated at the most strategic spot haha. But it's okay, I learn more that way :)
And then I met Kelly on my walk through the North Spine and found another friend heading to EY! :)
This is my arm and Candice's arm. You must think "Ooooo I'm so dark"
Now, definte dark again?
Photo-taking session this morning!
Take #1
Take #2
Take #3
Ahhhhhh, doesn't it make you smile? Hehe :)
Anw I received a sms on my way to training which gave me a pleasant surprise such that I smiled SOOoo big all the way to the pool, not caring what ppl around me think the least bit!
Yes, let's spread the smiles! :)
Oh and the toilet here the lights refuse to on :( So it's the downstairs toilet for me! Troublesome! I think I shall go call the Faulty Reporting Centre. 24 hours they say!
The Art of Synchronized Skipping was achieved over the weekend!
I have a green pie. Do you?
Although it looks real suspicious, and we couldn't figure out what's in the inside. But it still tastes pretty good!
On Friday, I "baked"! Soft bread rolls! Mom said we should've made some sort of marking on the chocolate ones. BUT I think it was really more fun, having the guessing game!
Today, I had a fun ride to ECP's Bedok Jetty! Through town in the early mornings of a sleepy slow Sunday. Thank you Jiwen!
Checked out the 100 Icons exhibit down at the National Library! (It's on the ground level and lasts till this Friday) Rather interesting. Makes you open your eyes when you see all logos around now!
First Macs meal of the year! And Astons for dinner!
My mind was left downstairs while I was teaching the kids today.
13 hours, 9 days, RECORD!
Skype is up, ready, about-to-be-tested, and signed in!
The pumpkin pie is wrapped with a red ribbon, sitting beside me, saying "OpEN ME!" Something to look forward to, every one of these days :)
Je suis tres heureux :)
First, this VERY big noisy truck was IdunnodoingWHAT making so much noise at the space below my window at the wee hours of 6am. THEN, after the truck left and peace and quiet returned, it started pouring. I couldnt go back to sleep, and so GOOD MORNING!
It is D-Day for which a certain happy squirrel has been waiting for, for, well, let's just say, SOME time :) AND I'll get to see a picture surrounded by a sea of pink in a few hours!
Well, first I gotta get through a 4hour seminar.
As of yesterday, it's been 4 out of 4!
Speaking of yesterday, I became afternoon entertainment for these 2 friends of mine who had NOTHING ELSE TO DO IN THE AFTERNOON BUT SPY ON OTHERS. (yes, YOU)
But I don't quite care because the smile is there!
Did I ever mention I like rhyming sentences?
It's time to put on the chef's (little) hat, and bake me some bread! :)
Because you know, I know :)
I've got a new friend in the room.
He's white and red.
And has long floppy limbs.
He sticks to my IKEA clothes hanger,
And makes me SMILE!
Thank YOU!
The days have been really happy!
There was my first French class yesterday!
And I had the company of a "OCBC boy"!
Smileys currently can be found all over the room.
TODAY, we wrote the story of "The Day in the Life of a Uni Student".
Hmmmmm.......... Boring isn't it?
Nike is the way to go!
Watched Les Choristes (2nd time for me!) in the comfort of ahhhh air con, and with the company of the sporty pandi and mango chunks.
Caught some sort of sunset!
Nice ambience with flute sounds as uhhh background music!
And listened to band songs!
BUT I caused some hunger along the way!
Late it was, sORRY!
Hope the private chauffering service didnt cost too dearly.
Tomorrow's ride has been decided!
Sleeeeeping time
Goodnight folks!
I feel it's quite a waste of money to on the air con when I'm the only person here. BUT I wanted the peace and quiet of the humming air con behind shut doors and windows. So here I am, wasting electricity, not caring about the ailing earth!
I have been writing and writing and writing! Pilot G-2 0.38! A most trusty pen.
On Thursday, I cycled back. 27.5km from hall to home! Wow what a record. New route! Mr Winds sent me gripping my handlebars really tight. And I was sailing all over the road! REALLY! I made a pact to myself. About the hills. Then, it was a good night out, getting stuck in uhhhh Tanglin Mall!
FRIDAY! Was the music seminar at YMS. $30 well spent. I learnt new stuffs. Heard lots of wonderful music which did the heart a whole lot of good. And ate a lot. There was so much food! Shepherd's pie ooooooooohhh YUM!
Met pamwam for dinner with mj. It's good to be back at Parkway! Haven't been there for..... many many many many months! Or is it a year? REALLY! Many places are still the same and alive and I was happy that I actually knew my way around so well! :)
Saturday! I decided not to kill myself and didn't join when they turned off to Tuas. The morning air......... cold....... I did the same loop as Wednesday. I got CHOCOLATE MUFFINS!
TODAY! Again reluctantly dragged myself through the motions of preparing to ride. Really, I do it nowadays without thinking too much. The more I think, the more I feel like just going back to bed. UNTIL, I read "Longhouse!" And then I cycled happily over! The air was really cold. The pace really slow mostly. EXCEPT at times. (I still don't like hills) Although I haven't broke that pact yet! :) Also, I got a vest! COOLBANANAS! Thank you!
THen it was movie time! Altho I was closing my eyes for half of the show. Eyes too tired see. Altho I was still 'watching' it really! Camped at JE library and had Aston's for dinner. Had a birthday cake at Hannah Adel's place too!
Ivory Heights is always such a windy place! I sat at the playground. And the swings settled down. I think I'm sure :)
Cheerios to all for school next week, hard trainings, and.......... to the one, who's ORD-ing! :)
Why do I feel like a pendulum swinging back and forth?
One moment I can be SOOoo sure, I feel it in my bones,
and the next it all crumbles away
Everyday, without fail!
One will be amazed at how badly schedules can clash. (I would've liked to see you, even if not a word passed but you just zoomed by on the bike!) If not for the phone, I would've done my readings then! Talk about busy ppl!
But that makes me treasure EVERY SINGLE MOMENT more! :) :) :)
Be it a 2min call with the risk of having tongues wag more (it kinda rhymes yes?)
TOday I rode 65km, swam some (rest was soooo long so I tried to whack harder each sprint), ran 7.5km HILLLLLLYyyyyyyy. Pretty fun tho! Steady steady! Except that the shin is acting up a little. BUT we ended realllllyyy late! Coffee cake (Rod's bday!) and apple pie (courtesy of TXR from Shangri-la bakery!) for dinner! YUmmmmmm! Mr Quiet came for training! Hehe. Much fun and laughter!
Howe Li started talking to me during the run. And all he talked about was Amanda! And I was just telling him how fortunate he is to be able to see her everyday. (Same course see) But at least, it's better than Marilyn, with him studying overseas!
But you make me smile so much (actually I think I've been caught um-chio-ing very frequently) I wouldn't have it any other way!
Till then, 11 more days! :)
Now, I'm quite sure 1 half months will fly by pretty quick. Especially with school! Or so I hope it will! :)
But then again, I don't quite want the term to end!
So, I shall just, enjoy every moment every day!
Yes, I will! :)
It is, 12 midnight! Time to start on those readings! Estimated sleeping time: No later than 1am please!
Presenting, the sister's hp ringtone! Which started ringing real loudly (Mok called) in the team car while I was staring at her butt, willing her to be moving faster!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV698lujkic&feature=fvst
Yes it is wouldn't you agree?
Okay, maybe you wouldn't, because I have ONLY ELEVEN AUs (ie 11hrs of school per week) and you probably don't. AND I thought last sem was bad enough (14AUs!) Thank goodness for last semesters and NO FYPs! Hehehhee.
On Monday I met XinYi and Jervis to head to the most prestigious building in the CBD area - One Raffles Quay. My future workplace. No turning back? Haha. We submitted together. And then I went for lunch with YiLun and Matilda! (I like her name actually!) It's good to meet new people and get to know them. They're really nice :) Although I felt REALLY out of place, as in attire wise, inside the building...... ahhhheemmm........ It was really funny cuz we had some shared secret looks in the lift when we met a bunch of audit ppl going out to client's place. Phewwww thank goodness I'm not in audit haha!
In the evening, we had a good fartlek training. The company is always much appreciated! Short run but we ended real late cuz we started late. Waited for half hr for a friend's friend. I thought it was really inconsiderate of her to make the ENTIRE team wait though. BUT the training was really good I must say. Statics were pretty fun after that but it kinda dragged till real late. The pool was a much happening place cuz of IHG polo. But it was real good to see everyone again! All the fellow swimmers! Hall 3-ers (and Yiming's flying off!), Hall 2-ers (Desmond's back!), Shawn Lai (hahhaha he just makes me laugh)
I slept past 12 but woke up at 6+am, way before my alarm went off. I knew Hanjie was in my AA304 class from Edventure so I joined him but was pleasantly surprised to see his other friend is Mona! :) And the other 2 guys I more or less 'knew' them so it was good. Spoke to Priscilla, a friend I made at AGO interview. Well, AGO didn't get back to any of us hehhe so she's at PwC. Oh Hj and friends went PwC in the end too! We got our Clickers! And thank goodness I didn't have to present on Thursday hehe. *Phew. And I formed a case study group with Kristen and Swee Chin. Hmmmmmm. They kinda freak me out though. (I don't think I'd dare to raise any points during discussion!!) But after my first Audit class, am I thankful I'm not going into audit hehehhehe :)
I headed to the pool after that. Met TXR on the way. My pie please! Boy, was the pool CROWDED. So irritated with ppl swimming into my lane. After awhile, they got the message and moved hehe. Made a new friend called Sam! I like to be helpful :) Met Suyan, saw Eugene Zhuang (Mr legendary gpa 5.0), and MARCUS! So I had company for some of the sets. I think the pool's so crowded cuz it's the first week of the sem and IHG is coming up!
I was SO HAPPY to finish the sets cuz it meant LUNCHTIME. Was so hungry by then. Yu pian tang jia dan! YUUUmmmmmmm :)
It was to the doctor's then but since they only opened at 2pm, I went to get a chocolate muffin for the muffin man!
Thank goodness, no needle poking of any sort hahahhaha. It was just idunnohowtospellthat. So cream is all that's needed! Phewww.....
Back to hall back to hall with the aircon. And since it started pouring, biking and running plans were cancelled and instead I headed to Jiwen's house. The backdoor way to get there is really rather fast! We had yummy chicken rice for dinner while staring at the green and the blue and the white :)
I boarded 199 on the way back at Sheng Shiong and guess who I met! Marcus and Leewei (and Peggy)! And in the afternoon when I was going out I met Justin and Wei Chong on 199 too. And I met Candice on the shuttle bus while going back hall. Haha!
Thank goodness I managed to wake up later today.
Oh but I'm VERY HAPPY cuz my timetable is pretty nice now. Although it's turned into 5-day week, but it's just NOT the same if I'm not in the same class as Marilyn! So....... I AM HAPPY! It's so coincidental. Really thank GOD! Now, all the vacancies are back to ZERO! And I'm rather excited to be taking French! :)
Yes, it's back to school and I'm happy :)
And yes, score 2 out of 2 this week as of yesterday :) But whatever it turns out to be at the end of the week, I think I'll still be happy! Yes, everything's jolly now :)
So, I happily timed the server with my watch.
Come 10am....................
STARS hanged on me.
Oh, just great!
So my timetable is still a little screwy.
BUT, I'll survive.
I'm just very sad that classes are gonna be rather friendless this semester!
Can't get AB311 with the rest :( :( :( :( :(
Yes, that sucks big time :( :( :(
Trainings. Hmmmmm.
Now where has the motivation gone to?
School. Hmmmmm.
I AM EXCITED TO SEE THE ROOMIE AROUND!
It feels like forever!
And I am about to land myself my first job!
Even before I graduate!
Praise God :)
I'm feeling happier.
Because I got a call from EY.
Not any official call but from Pam's friend about lunch later.
Well, not quite so, but it was part of my prayers.
And then I found out xinyi's going EY too!
And so we're meeting up to submit our offer letters together!
So altogether I'm a little happier!
You know roomie, you're the first one after I spoke to which made me feel more settled about all these work options stuff. Thanks for hearing me out and for giving advice and for giving me confidence in making a decision. And hahhahaa..... yes you know me best... Why am I always so last minute hahhaha. Always. But, thank you!
And Jiwen, maybe I might think Ernst is a nice name sometime in the future, (no I'll never name my son that) but I still think PricewaterhouseCoopers trashes them all hehe. Thanks really for all the questions you asked which made me think and reason out. For all the times you kept forcing me to think about it. (As much as I really didn't want to.. you know, always waiting till the last minute) For finding out all the stuffs about those companies, I was really so very very touched. And most importantly, for showing me what I probably already knew, and the confidence to make that choice. Thanks :) :)
And OOPS, well done. I just missed my first class of the year/semester.
Well, I haven't registered for it yet.
Not my fault.
Hahahahaha.
Drove back and walked home in a trance.
If I could paint the WHOLE sky with smileys, I would! :)
I'm lost for words.
is when it all doesn't seem THAT bad.
I hope all's forgiven for my irreliability!
Well, the list actually consisted of:
- the coffee
- counting hours
- 2 months
- 1 day
And I think you should know already, but I left out the last part of the 'if tomorrow'. Pardon me!
If I could turn back time all over again I would.
S-O-R-R-Y sounds like utterless useless shit.
but I really am
Spewing vulgarities at others?
I wanna do that to myself now
I'm really sorry
Is there anything I can do?
What sort of friend am I :(
About you makes me wish I could see you everyday
You become a lousy host!
Today, I parked the van 3 times! :)
I'm sleeeeepppppyyyyyyyy.
Training was ultimate slack.
But I had some flippers-fun! Floating around on my back, staring at the blue blue clouds. You know, it's really good!
Overwhelmed?
Yes, that was what happened yesterday!
I was, so, at a lost for words!
And then I was floating on Cloud Hundred
Can tomorrow come quicker? I'm not quite so looking forward to the Giraffe Bar! I hate such functions. I'm so sleepy. And everybody keeps asking about my red/brown/black skin colour.
TOMORROW I get to meet two very very very very VERY special friends!
I remember I once made a list a long time ago,
about the perfect guy!
Well, I went to find that entry again and I found a lot of interesting stuffs along the way! HahahHAA.
How much has that changed in two years?
Apparently, I think, I've come a long way.
The MOST IMPT thing, was left out.
Happy, the heart must be.
Or did I think that was so obvious it didn't need to be stated?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Perfect? I don't think there is one.
BUT
Retarded as it might sound,
I smile to myself in the morning when I wake up
I smile to myself as I walk around the house
I smile to myself on the bus
I smile to myself on the train
I smile to myself while swimming
I smile to myself while nua-ing on the bed
I smile to myself before I go to sleep
I smile to myself whenever I think happy thoughts
It's a grin which spreads from one end to the other.
If you can imagine,
it's really very,
RETARDED.
This is really how I feel
5 rides in the past week!
Today I rode with Passione again. I made more new friends! Learnt how to go by Old Choa Chu Kang Road. New route! Had fun! But oh boy, am I tired! And so I'm giving tmr's morning ride a miss. I will swim hard interval sets instead! First time I got a puncture tooooo!
Looking back on this past week, I just realise how good it's been. I wish it would all repeat itself again. But yet somehow you know, such things, good things, won't happen twice. So yeah, be prepared, be prepared.
I am RED, burnt, a shade blacker, from camping under the coconut trees at Sentosa's Siloso Beach the entire afternoon with SOME of the band peeps. Thanks many to Kevin for organising it really! :) We had crappy fun. And as always, an outing isn't quite the same without................ A VIDEO! So yes, our dearest mad ice-cream man came up with a script again. Heheheehe. My role? A spectator!
I came home to find YAKULT in the fridge! Yummmmm. Maple Syrup Cream Biscuits!
Did I mention I don't like roller coasters?
for everything!
I wanted to list it all down but it was just too much, and all I could think of is,
yes,
everything
:)
The days have been really tiring, really butt-aching, but really fun too!
1st day of the brand new year, starting the day again when the bro was ending his! Did a fun ride with DQ n Jeremy but I was slacking as always! It was a pleasantly fun ride where I wasn't in danger of getting dropped. Met the National Jambion at ECP and had MUCH fun riding back!
Borrowed DVDs and had a whole afternoon of good company! :)
Today, I rode with Passione for the first time. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED. Lols, I'm sure you WILL l-o-l with me about this mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
It's really, funny.
Anyway I went to Rachel's house to try their new piano and have lesson there. Hmmmmm, as much as I was getting tired of my piano, I think there really IS a difference. That piano isn't as nice as I was expecting it to be and got all excited for nothing. I prefer mine many times over!
Okay I'm off to catch a few winks so I won't KO during the first church service of the year!
