Prologue: Live Life

Ahhhh so tired! Have been really busy during the past few days. A lot happened since last week.

1. My 2nd aunt passed away last fri @ 3.41pm. :[
2. Sat, hung out with family, grandparents and relatives. Good to see every family member from different parts of the world flying & rushing back to attend my aunt's wake!
3. Pain-laxing body massage @ roxy sq with my sister, followed by exciting F1 race on sun night.
4. Panic/tensed/anxious job briefing on mon. Also, MY INJURED KNEE MIRACLE-LY RECOVERED! I think it's the glucosamine. (or maybe, the massage. or maybe, my aunt?) I do wish its because of her watching over us.
5. 1st day at work today. So glad its over! (I'm fine with the job, just that.. i want it to hurry end.) 2 more days!
6. OH AND I STEPPED ON DOG POOP TODAY!!! OMG EEEEEEEEEE. 3009 <--- HURRY GO BUY 4D NOW! Haha

SO DAMN TIRED. zzzzz
I'm beginning to enjoy running again. So stress-free! Great. Thank you coach!

Sitting in front of my laptop, with my cup of fav chocolate milk by my side, and watching "The Moment of Truth" online, i'm enjoying the night. (yea right) Far from enjoying, while knowing that...

My 2nd aunt is in the hospital now and the doc says she's slowly passing away to cancer, as the secs goes by. :[ I must visit her tmr!

My mum just asked me not to take so much calcium because she says it'll worsen my knee pain? Her friend supposedly had "extra" calcium scraped off her bone. Then after that, she tells me to "drink more milk". HUH WHAT?!

Anyway, I learnt valuable lessons from coach today. Thanks (x infinty)! Will keep all that in mind.

When you're down... all you need is a lil support and encouragement. It kills when your parents don't give a damn.

@ 6:26 PM

YILIN! haha. so eggciting when i saw her! i only realised she was working there when i was outside watsons! i miss my twin/bf/momma! had lunch at the fc then played our fav throwing balls game @ the arcade before watching the movie, "Mamma Mia"! the theatre was freezing cold but fortunately, the movie was enjoyable. i give it 3.5/5 popcorns! yum.

oh and guess what. irene got me a temp 3-days job! the pay's good, working hrs are fine, so all's good. most importantly, it won't obstruct my trainings. sucks when my stamina drops, so disappointing!

I hate staying at home. So noisy with all the bickerings. Can i have my peace and quietness rest?

Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 10:34 PM

nothing compares 2 u

chinese swimming club is my 2nd home now. 1/2hr before i go back there again. the weather looks so good to take a dip! yesterday, i went to touch up my tattoo, watched "step brothers", bought a new read, and walked arnd town. i'm surprised, quite a lot has changed since i last went there!

just finished watching "hotel rwanda" online, that movie is heart-wrenching! anyway, on wed, i checked my exam results and i improved my GPA by 0.046! haha. hopefully this carries on for this sem. time passes so quickly! time to fill in applications for Uni and very soon it'll be graduation. major transition to adult life? i don't want my life to be circled around $$ only. $$ takes away family, friends and passion.

ok gotta leave now!
take care all!

1. Heard about the poor Wall Street mess-ups.
2. I think i ate a whole cow today.
3. Swam, i smell like chlorine now.
4. Went to visit the sinseh @ Bedok, weird experience? Knee nvr got better after that.
5. Almost vomitted out my dinner while yb was driving, eeks. Blame the bumpy car ride & yucky food.

I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life in -

JUST WISH.

GOOD NIGHT! JOB INTERVIEW TMR!

Tuesday, September 16, 2008 @ 1:02 AM

Sunday, joined the rest of team r2unners for an outing @ Sentosa.
It was a fun day of sun, sea and games on the charcoal-burning-sand-bed.

Some peeks!

*****

Gosh, the weekends have been really tiring! Both of my eyes were swollen by night time. Anyway, i dreamt about OSAMA during sleep and he woke me up at 7am today! I had a difficult time going back to sleep after that. SCARY MAN. I kept staring at my room's door, afraid it'll open and he'll appear.

Hmmm. Later (since its Tues already), will be going down with Ling Er and Yb to visit the sinseh @ Bedok. Sinsehs scare me too! But i want my knee to recover fully! I don't know what's wrong with me. Why am i always so unlucky to get plagued with injuries? What did i do?!!? URGH.

Got a job interview this Wed. Hopefully i get it? I don't know if i really want it. But it'll sure add points to my portfolio. I've kinda decided where i'll be heading after grad. Gotta see what my mom says.

I think my bro's friend is secretly using my toothbrush. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKSSS!

Gonna watch a lil tv then zzzzzzz. Tmr can wake up late! Enjoy now before the holidays end.

CAPS LOCK

DAMN TIRED. WOKE UP AT 7+AM TODAY. I REALISED I CANNOT SURVIVE ON 7HRS OF SLEEP A DAY. BOTH EYES ARE SWOLLEN NOW. BUT COMING ONLINE KEEPS ME AWAKE, FOR 1/2HR. NOW, I'M DEAD TIRED. WORST THAN FINISHING 10KM. SPEAKING ABOUT RUNNING, I CAN'T EVEN WALK PROPERLY NOW. STUPID LEGS. HATE MYSELF SOMETIMES. MIGHT BE GOING DOWN TO M'SIA KL THIS TUESDAY, TO VISIT MY AUNT. ITS LIKE A USUAL HOLIDAY ROUTINE THING, JUST TO ACCOMPANY HER. SHOP EAT RELAX COMFORT. I LIKE HAVING MY OWN SPACE AND DOING THINGS AT MY OWN TIMING. SIMPLE PLEASURES IN LIFE.

GOOD NIGHT.

INJURIES INJURIES GO AWAY, (DON'T) COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY.

On Tuesday, Irene & myself decided to go down Kallang Leisure Park for some ice-skating fun. But we realised the entrance fee was EX! $17.50! So we forgo it and instead, headed to the bowling alley for some balls fun.

We also bought tickets to catch "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" @ Filmgarde. OMG, IF YOU'RE >18, GO WATCH THAT MOVIE! Haha, its hilarious! Great laughs. I like the songs from the movie! Check out Russell Brand too, he's disgustingly sexy.

*****

My knee is crazy. Like seriously, the ligaments are hay-wired?? Haha. It feels loose! Thank god, i can still run, although walking now is already quite a feat for me.

After training today, ling er amanda and myself went down to Bugis for dinner. Its nice sharing talks with each other. I like knowing whats going on inside people's minds but dislike others knowing mine. Don't ask me why, haha.

Was thinking... maybe i should not continue pursuing a higher edu for Digital Media after i graduate from Poly. I feel like i'm forcing myself to LIKE filming and animation. It feels like a chore rather than a passion! I want to LEARN AND DO something i LIKE. I miss studying science, biology. The human life, psychology, nutrition, sports. I loved science during secondary school. Maybe i should consider that path?

I'll think about it.

FOR NOW, ITS BED TIME! GOOD NIGHT!

words of wisdom

"You should be back on top of things before long though. So just try to relax and enjoy yourself and concentrate on the things that truly bring you satisfaction and fulfillment in life."

*****

Let me see what i've been up to since last Sat?

SATURDAY

Met up with the track mates before heading down to Ling Er's 21st bday party! Wow, it was a pretty long walk to the condo from Bukit Panjang shopping centre.

Leslie designed this huge poster, and we all signed!

Enjoying the buffet

Our table!

The track girls and poor amanda!

Wan Ping & Ke Hui joined in!

YEAH!! The usual pre-cut-bday-cake photo!

SP TRACK!

OH AND...

EVERYONE SAY AWWWWWWWWWW...

Hahaha, spot the extra at the back?

SUNDAY

Went for mass in the morning then for lunch with my mom, sis, aunt and grandparents @ Crystal Jade before heading down to the padang to meet the track mates for The Nike+ Human Race 10km. It was great seeing Meifang at the starting line! Haven't seen her in AGES! Haha ok, in weeks.

The whole race was crowded with HUMANS! I actually thought everyone would slowly disperse maybe after 1km but NOOOO... Everyone stuck together like a bunch of magnets! Crazy. So, my leg hurt again. (no surprise) I ran for arnd 6km+ before stopping to walk with Sean. It was quite fun, we walked then ran to the next water point then stop to walk again before making a last dash to the finishing line, with a diff of 00'00'03 secs. Haha

After the race, my lil sis came down for the concert. Actually no, just to catch "Boys Like Girls" live. So i accompanied her after our dinner @ Raffles City.

YEAAAAAHH, THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

MONDAY

Woke up to a tired morning! Came online before heading down to school for training. Kai Yin and myself felt =/ because of our injury. The rest were doing the exercises while we just look at them. Sigh.. After training, james drove us to Old Airport Rd for dinner. I am still not sick of the food @ Old Airport Rd YET. Haha! Went home, bathed, relaxed and watched teevee before going to bed at arnd 2.30am.

TUESDAY/TODAY

Woke up @ 11am. Ate, watched teevee, bathed, ate and came online till now.. Gonna leave soon to see the sinseh. After that, meeting Hong to watch "12 Lotus" @ Plaza Sing! Yeaaaaaah. It beats staying home, doing nothing.

OK! Off to the toilet NOW!
BYE!
