Finally went to see the orthopedic today. Confirmed that it was my Tendon that was inflammed, that's why its causing the swell and pain for the past few weeks/months.
Undergone a session of physio-therapy, learnt a few exercises on how to relieve the pain, and stretch that tight tendon of mine. He helped me massage my thigh, ( supposedly to loosen my tight tendon, And it was in such pain that I almost screamed !! ) The physio session ended with a ultra scan thing. It releases electic impulse into the affected aread, ( supposedly to stimulate cell repair & growth. ).
But the funny thing is, I came out of the Physio treatment with MORE pain than I went in.. WTH... HAha.. Crapz.
Anyway, went to play pool with tuck today. Wohoo.. 2 months never touch the wooden stick liao. played both 8 and 9 ball, won both series 7-1, 7-1, Whee... Recalling the days which I played every week.. Such fun.. But well.. somethings there's no choice but to weigh the importance of other things.. and at least I'm seeing some results, telling me that I've made the right choice. Jia YOU .. Zhiyuan.. you can do it de... =)

Went for my 17th blood donation today. While in the donation centre, the nurse asked me whether I want to donate platelets instead. Apparently, they are in desperate needs for it today. But, I've been to Thailand for training, Anti-Malaria pill means I can't do that for 3 yrs.
Well, that said, I remembered donating platelets to my fren's dad who was diagnosed with leukaemia last june. It's weird isn't it ? 2 different set of criteria within the small island. Blood bank was calling for more regular donors, but they set stringent rules, preventing many ppl from doing so, ( if not turning ppl away ) Take for e.g. Full blood donation at Blood bank is 12 weeks waiting time. while SGH blood transfusion centre is 8 weeks. Understanding the fact that they want to be safe that the blood they take in are safe for patients to use, but overly cautious will only deprive themselves of willing donors.
Anyway, went to watch Death note . L change the world with lin. An interesting thriller/detective show.. Lin provided me with quick summaries of the previous 2, which helped in the understanding of the whole show too.. Haha.. Though I didn't watch the first 2 series, but there wasn't much of a relevance.

MeMe
okay, From Kianseng, I'm supposed to pass it on.. Was bored.. so decided to fill it in too..
Rules for the meme are as follows :
-Link to the person who tagged you
-Post the rules on your blog.
-Share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog. (O.o)
-Tag seven random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.( not tagging... feel free to do so if you are bored with studying .. )
-Leave a comment on their blogs so that they know they have been tagged.
here goes the 7 facts:
1. I'm a very sentimental and easily satisfied person. " kai xin jiu hao"
2. Glory Glory Man utd. Yeah!! no doubt, I'm a red devils fan.
3. I treasure my family more than anything else. Cos there's nothing that will be able to replace them.
4. My right ear is bigger than my left ear by .5cm ( 7cm and 6.5cm)
5. I can't squat with my feets close together. Will become a turtle on its shell.
6. I can't stand things there are too round and bold . No idea why, but it just erks me..
7. Don't like messy things, have to arrange it, even if it's not mine. ( i.e. library, office, shopping centre, I'll help them put back the things )
Alright.. those are the 7 facts..
Anyway, Today I was studying in school, study till " qi jing" I didn't want to go for bridge. Well, sort of overshot the timing, and was late, so might as well, make use of the mood to digest more things. Productive today.. FINALLY!! after a few days of nua-ing. I'm back on track. hopefully not too late to chiong the tons of work staring at me.

Discipline
Discipline means nothing to someone who obeys the rules, Only those who defys will face the punishment.
Learnt this statement while watching the Discovery channel. Title " Brat Academy "
Reflecting upon that, Its really true isn't it. If you are always following the " rules & laws" you will never need to know what sort of punishment will follow if you don't.
Talking about discipline will naturally be linked back to the Army days.. I think I've been a rather obedient soldier, following all the rules and regulations. I've only gotten ONE extra duty, cos I bought a stupid magazine( rifle mag) to the range. and that's the only guard duty I've ever done so. Some how I get to escape all the regimental duties, as there will always be some ppl who do stupid things to get Extras. And with all the appointments I've got, it served as a " hu shen fu ". Safely went past the trainee days. Upon commissioning, there was Duty Officer ( D.O ) to do. I've only done it 12 times i think. one for each month I'm there. Ord-ied safely without any extras too. Phew!~
When chatting with some frens on doing guard duty and D.O, they always got things to share, but I've got no exp in that area. And they commented that I've lost out on that. Huh?!? Its alright man.. I don't need that kind of exp. I rather spend my time doing other things..
Haiz.. recently, got a lot of call up by Mindef, regarding all the mannings and in-camp training. its about time to dig out my NO.4 uniform and kiwi my boots le. Old man needs to get back to camp liao. its just irritating that its right inbetween my 3months break, how to find job like that.. arhz..
Comparing myself to before, I think my level of discipline has dipped a lot. Need to pull myself out and reinstate myself to the level I had before I commissioned. I don't think I'm as hardworking and self-controlled as before le. someone pls push me..

Aviation Show
Went to the Aviation show this morning.. enjoyed the spectacular aerobatics display by the black knights and the other respective pilots.. The wait at the Pasir Ris MRT was horrible. Really long queue.. Waited for nearly 45mins to catch the bus.
When we reached there, we were just in time for the Aerobatics show... It started within seconds after we found a spot to view the show. The ear drum breaking sound created by the engine of the Fighter jets were deafening. Could feel the vibrations in the air, when it was flying really low and close to us... The sun was glaring, and I kinda regretted not wearing sunglasses today, how much better it would feel, if I had wore it. nvm.. though it wasn't exceptionally hot, but the dry air, incorporated with the direct sun, I'm like a lobster now. Red...
Other than the aerobatics display, there were still some static displays. This type of thing, just once a blue moon go see see can liao. no need spend so much $ to go in there and squeeze with the crowd.
The queue after the show was REALLY horrible. We were waiting for Taxi de. Never mind abt the extra $8 surcharge, we just wanted to get to TM to catch our movie in time. but then, the queue didn't move at all, even after 15mins. So we made our way into the bus queue, and that didn't help much either. it was a 1.5hrs wait. When we finally boarded the bus, the bus was not full lar.. Ppl at the front, just simply refuse to board it cos they got no seat, and they want to wait for the next one. WTF!!! SINGAPOREANS are.. horrigible. ARhz... in the end, entered the cinema 15mins late...
Overnight MJ sesion.
Played tong xiao ma jiang last night, with lin and her JC class ppl. an interesting bunch of ppl, who talk are full of nonsense, but well, that's what keeps ppl entertained. haha.. was quite bemused by what they could come up with actually, and they are really very " pei he " Linking back to my own class, it pales in comparison. Definitely, there isn't as much fun, but surely, there were moments of joy too.
Can't help but believe that it is really quite " xie men" when I play mj. Tried for 13 yao, for 2 rounds, one with 12 tiles, waiting for " fa" and " dong " and the second time, I was waiting for the last tile " 9 bamboo " . So close. Calling for the tile liao, but got intercepted. As expected, after I try for it, I usually don't game much after that. oh well, it's just the thrill and excitement you get while waiting for such combinations, plus they were not playing $$, all the more it gives me reason to do so..

Accident at Biz
Had a scare for a moment while attending the MKT lecture at Biz LT 17 around 2pm. Just when the lecturer was about to begin the lesson, a loud crashing sound was heard, and it seems like something has just crashed. Guessing that it might have been an accident outside the LT, The lecturer just commented : " I think it may have been an accident. anyway, lets begin our lessons for today ... " How ignorant can we be.. lolx..
Upon ending of the lecture, des and me walked to the bus stop, only to realise that the bus stop was cordoned off, and we could see that several trees had snapped and upon closer look, a green green metal thing could be spotted. Still wondering what has happened, and could have caused such a big commotion that police's " keep out " tape was being used. Then we saw a huge chunk of metal lying on the slope, just beside the LT and the bus stop, where there was a construction going on. Now then we realise what has happened.. the CRANE HAS COLLAPSED! a 60 tonne Crane came crashing down, causing a thunderous noise when it hit the ground. It was just metres away from the LT that I was having lecture in, and seriously, couldn't imagine what would happen if it had crashed onto the LT. how many ppl would have injured/killed. 3 workers were killed in this horrifying accident.

Being a Curious passer-by, I alighted from the shuttle bus, and walked towards the accident scene from another angle, Could see clearly what has happened, and the whole lot of reports and media ppl interviewing and giving reports on the situation. Snapped a shot of it.

The starfish story
One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it back into the ocean
Approaching the boy, he asked " what are you doing? "
The youth replied " throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die"
" Son " the man said " don't you realise there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!"
After listening pilitely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then smiling at the men he said
" I made a a difference for that one "
This is a story that I think carries a lot of meaning. Was thinking and reflecting on it for a moment when I first read it.. Guess it should arouse thinking in each and everyone, but the thoughts that flow through may be a little different.

Multiple personality
Multiple personality is the existence of multiple personalities within an individual and is termed as dissociative identity disorder. He can have a very friendly attitude towards some people, and a absolutely harsh attitude towards others. Most people that have this disorder don't realise it, and they think that what they've done is perfectly normal. Well, to be fair, some to a smaller scale isn't exactly termed disorder. But, it's still a scary thought.
Some people say it's just bias and that's natural. Take for example, the "guai guai" sweet looking girl who is always so ever cheerful and polite in school, is actually a pampered girl who throws tantrum at her family members, calling them names and demanding everything. You will never find out about, nor believe that she's such a person until you see/hear it for yourself. Tell me, isn't this common nowadays? So is that natural? or is it the upbringing of the kid has gone wrong ?
Honestly, how many people are guilty of this.. Treating friends more important than their family? I've personally witness some friends who really scream and shout at their parents, giving absolutely no patience. It's really disgraceful and unbecoming. How can anyone be so disrepectful to someone who has given life to you, provided you with food, water, shelter and watch you grow? Some may argue that they have never received love from them, but you can't deny that the fact that you are still alive and kicking is the result of them providing you with all the neccesities. So what wrong have they done to deserve such unfilial treatment?
I can't help but despise those who are so pampered, thinking that they are the only important people in the world, and everyone should give way/suit them. Someone should just seriously give a hard knock on those people's head and wake them up.
Its part and parcel of life that we'll grow and grow. One day, we'll be independent and find someone that cares enough for us, love us, and take care of us. So does that mean that it's alright for us to forget about our roots? why do some people choose to give all their life and time to their loved ones, only to leave their oldies all alone? Have our perspective changed ? How would you feel if it's your kids that has found a bf/gf and spend the time with them, only to leave you alone sitting at home? Yes, no doubt its the different phases in life that we'll have to go through, the least we could do is to get in touch, and take care of our parents when required. They are afterall, our parents.

Chek Jawa
Went running with dan this morning, Test run the 2.4km at the stadium. It was a tough one. Firstly, I hate running in circles, that's why I particularly don't like to run in a stadium. Secondly, there was strong headwind blowing against us and the sun was a killer today. Damn hot.. Thirdly, my striding is shorter than usual. ARhz.. Can't help it, due to knee restrictions. So a rather casual one at 10.33. Still reasonable timing, considering the conditions.
Went to Chek Jawa in the afternoon with Des, Ben and Grace, as part of our GEK mod project's survey. Also, it's one of the field trip for our SSS module. There were several things that we saw there, but we were limited to the board walk only. It was kinda sad. Was expecting to see more things. It's like so near but yet so far.. seeing other visitors watching and examining the species of animals in the mud-flats, but I can't go down... ARhz.. I'm sure I'll go there again, and walk for myself..
but still, managed to take some photos of the more common animals that appeared near the boardwalk area.
My fav.... Crabs... the place was just full of Fiddler crabs. Lots and Lots of them, even managed to see some of them fighting.

Invention of Loud speaker in HP
Boarded the train this morning, still trying hard to do last min revision for the SSS CA later on, only to be disturbed my 2 muds, playing loud malay music from their hp. Don't they realise that it's not their home, and there are ppl around them that don't appreciate the music that they are playing. When music is unappreciated, its NOISE. and that's irritating. How come there are just so many inconsiderate ppl around, with almost 0 EQ in their head. To be fair, its not only them, I'm sure most ppl would have encounterd such situation before. I've met with Old man playing loud music from their radio player too. Hokkien song. Arhz..
So the invention of loud speaker in HP, was it a good one? Yes it is.. IF and ONLY IF the person know when is the correct time to use it. else, its really an irritant.
Finally, the much dreaded monday is finally over. 55% worth of marks were handed in today. 30% for SSS, 15% for MKT, 8% for Lab report. Its like half a mod cleared. Finally can breathe a little. Though there's still a long way more to go.. I'm not just tired from the workload for the past 2 weeks, I'm dead tired.. Zzz. Thank goodness mid sem break is 4 days away..
Uncertainty.. things changes every now and then, that's what causes it. and how can we ever be sure of things? Trust. Be it, the person involved, or the person indirectly involved, that's the only thing we can rely on. Level of trust is built up over a period of time, and importantly, the credibility of the person also affects this. I don't do things rashly. Much thoughts have been put into it and actions are only done when I'm sure of myself. And when I make a decision, I will stick by it, call it determination/perserverance or stubborness, up to you. That's just me.

Went to Edwin's place just now for a sumptous dinner. His mum can really cook man. Just 4 of us, and there was Soooo Much food. It was really yummy though. The yusheng was superb, with the cold platter and the curry, and the sheng mian and the fried dumpling and the orh ne.. Wa piangz.. spoilt for variety.. It was definitely worth the trip down to Jurong east for that. haha.
Now I'm so full.. and Can't stop burping lar.. No idea why. Didn't even drink any "gassy" drink.

Friday is a prelude to weekend
Many things happened today...
First, I didn't wake up on time, and was rushing to go for tuition. Then got a call from the student telling me that she can't make it at 9am. ( she called at 7.35am ). Luckily I haven't left home, if not will be a blur sotong stucked outside there, don't know do what in the early morning wee hours. So instead, told des to go for the MKT lecture at 10-12, ( initally supposed to go for 12-2 ).
Think the MKT lect is the ONLY lecture that i paid full attention to. didnt doze off at all, even though I slept at 4am, and woke up at 7.15am. was rushing to complete the Mkt assignment. 15% can. Freak. so heavy.. So even though its on a sat morning, and the only lesson, i feel its still worthwhile to make the trip down.
Studied in central lib after that, didn't want to waste time travelling home and out again later. Studied and slept till 5.30, before making my way down to Xinyi's house to meet BJ, lynal and xinyi for MJ session. Honestly, I was hesistating to go de. Cos i felt it would be awkward. And it sure was.. Can still count the no. of sentences that we had. It's only the third time I've seen her since a yr ago. They have been calling for a gathering for months, but I've been delaying it all the way till now. Partly cos I'm really busy, plus not really want to go ba.. Though I've totally let go abt it le, Guess I'm still not used to it seeing her after such a long time. tried to be as normal as possible le, but the atmosphere was just a bit tense. Just being friends should be fine, let time smoothen this ba..
Anyway, a side note, Friday is " NOT " a weekday.. Its a PRELUDE to weekend. LOLX... *hor. Looking at someone.. * =P

Anyway, a side note, Friday is " NOT " a weekday.. Its a PRELUDE to weekend. LOLX... *hor. Looking at someone.. * =P

Sushi Tei
Went to see the doctor in the afternoon, cause the pain just won't go away. Can still feel the pinch even when I'm walking. Was told to either take a X-ray or do a MRI scan. But MRI scan is just too freaking ex lar.. $1000++ crazy. So Chose to see the Orthopedic instead, see what he has got to say.
Whee.. went to eat Sushi Tei with lin after that. Had quite a sumptous meal. Tried a few new things as well. E.g is the Yam Sushi. Was wondering what is it.. and lin persuaded me to try it out.. So ya.. gave it a shot. how does it taste ne? hmm.. its a little crunchy and sticky, not much taste, a bit " qing dan " .

Also, ate my Tamago. usually end my meal with it when I'm happy. Why ? Cos Tamago is sweet and light, plus its a bright and happy colour . =)
One of the nicest dish for the night was this Hotate. Wohoo.. Scallop coated with delicious cream cheese. Heavenly... * thumbs up *

Oh man.. consecutive good food for a few days.. Its good for my taste bud, and my ever craving for food stomach. but, bad for my growing waistline.
Okay, next 3 days will be a mad rush against time to complete the 3 tasks in hand, CA, Assignment and lab report..
Back to work.. Tsk tsk. !!

V-dae
Happy V-dae to all .. =)
Had an enjoyable V-dae dinner at Jack's place. Initially wanted to go down to Sizzler's but they don't accept any reservations. And everybody knows that there's gonna be a long queue, so to save all trouble, chose Jack's place with reservations. Well, it was worth it, cos the food was quite nice. Just surprised that there wasn't any ala- carte, Could only order the Set dinner. 4 course meal, But, was Satisfied with the steak, medium, just nice. much better than the last one I ate at botak jones. ( okay, i know, shouldn't compare with that, different level ) Lin had, Lobster with Chicken steak. Yum yum too.. Just too bad that I forgot to take any photos of our dinner. Time passes real fast, 1.5hrs just flew by while we were there enjoying the meal.
There after, took a stroll from there to Esplanade for the night scenary. Walked past a few performing groups, ranging from latin dance to hip-hop, to CO playing festive songs, and Nan Gao ying, singing Chorals. Interesting walk =)
Oh yes.. First yr received so many nice hand made cards.. Thanks girls.. ( lin, hc, wp.. ) =) really appreciate the efforts. *touched * one important thing that I noted today, flowers, packaged in NUS really CMI. Saw some bouquet, that looked really empty, made it look not nice. If u are spending on flowers on V-dae, just splurge a bit more, at least will get something that U will like and think its worth it.

Mistake by Lecturer
The CA is over. Studied so much, also don't know for what. Everytime i re-read, I realise there's something that I don't understand, clarifying with des/liang he makes its much better. Luckily still got them to help. but in the end, the qn that came out was sort of unrelated to the things I've read from the txbk. Mostly from the 2 article which I left it to the last min. *rubbish*
and Thank goodness, The lecturer realised that he made a mistake, cos the Assignment that's supposedly due for tomorrow, the lecture has not even been gone thru!!! So in the end, I've got a slight extension till monday night. Phew!!! not so sure whether its really good, cos there's a SSS Ca on monday, and a lab report due on the same day as well. But well, I'm really tired after the few consecutive late nights of studying. So much so that I didn't have time, nor do I have the mood to blog anything.
I've very seldom done things against my heart and will. It's really hard to force me to do so.. Is it that being rational at times can change that ? Or is it the situation that you are in forces you to ? Absoultely no idea.. Some ppl say, just be happy with whatever decision you make. So what do u do when you are stucked in the middle?

Studying during CNY 08
This is the first time I'm studying through CNY. It sucks.. Its supposed to be a holiday isn't it. Why must the prof put the CA after it. ARhz.. Ah tiong arh. Ur family not here also no need do this to us right... *Grumblez*
This yr, Hongbao collection is minimal, due to 2 reasons, 1. Less visiting than usual, 2. The hongbao has generally shrunk in size. Hmm.. Funny isn't it. Everyone's income should have gone up, how come hongbao shrunk leh..
So much things will be coming up for the next 2 weeks. Lets see.. Genetics CA on wed, Mkt Assignment & presentation on Sat, Lab report & SSS CA next mon. in a matter just 1+ WEEK!! ARhz.. How to finish... Somebody just kill me can. Solve all problem..
Rarely do I complain as much as I've done so for the past week, but seriously, it's really too much to take. Can't help but vent it out.

In Malaysia
Had a tiring trip to Malaysia for the past 2 days. Rushing in and out and squeezing with the crowd isn't exactly a nice thing to do. Can't be held, since my dad insist on doing so..
Yet another rd of steamboat there, plus a BBQ. But it was really a disapointing one. Seriously, this is the first time ever that I've eaten a BBQ with only 3 things can. Chicken wings, Hotdogs and Satay ONLY!!! *faintz* Ended up, I was the main BBQ-er there, dishing out all the Chickenwings n hotdogs for them. " shu shu you nian guo de " =D
Oh well... It feels good to be detached away from the world for a period of time. It's being a long time since I last slept so much.. Basically, I just sleep whenever I can when I was there. Recharging the much needed sleep I've been longing for.. SHIOK!!
Some shots that I took there.. Included some shots that my sis and I took when we got real bored in the car.. Self-entertainment.. =D

Happy CNY 08
Another hectic Chu yi that's being spent visiting most of the relatives.. ( from my mum's side ). There's still more than half left.. many many more to go, but I seriously doubt I'll have the time to visit all. Started early in the morning, only to end it like now.. BUSY BUSY BUSY!!! Leaving for Malaysia in 3.5 hrs time.
Its irritating to drive, with an Aunt who keeps nagging by the side.. But just have to be patient. Practise my " ren " gong. Its a happy occasion anyway. Kai xin Jiu Hao.. =)
Anyway, its being a long time since I last took a family Photo..

Taking a photo under a Tao Hua , Uncle bought from Japan.. supposed to give me more " tao hua Yun " =P

Just Some photos taken for the day.. A bit random..

Polished Car..
Got activated to wash my aunt's car this morning.. Cousin came along too. Cos washing alone can really be quite boring. Especially when polishing and waxing is involved, its hours of work.. So it was good that he came to join me.. Haha.. Took 2hrs plus to wash and wax both car. Tiring and hot... but upon looking at the end product.. I know it was all worthwhile.. =)
About to begin washing.

Before

After

Look at the how Shiny it is.. As good as new.. Whee ... =)

Saw this Nissan 350Z parking by the side. Its so chio can. Striking and nice curves..

Thereafter, met lin to study at the airport for a good 3hrs. Effective and productive, at least finished one more chap. Before coming home to do some manual labour for the 2 woman of my house. That was followed by a reunion dinner of steamboat at home. Quite sad that the " Fei Cui " Wu pin guo was cancelled. I was longing so much for it.. Sobz.. Nvm.. next time..

Simply Exhilarating
Woohoo.. The drive just now was simply exhilarating. It has been a really long time since I last had so much adrenaline pumping into my blood. The speed, control and cornering were awesome. Tried driving my cousin's car before, but never was I so smooth in controlling it. Perhaps, I'm more seasoned now, able to handle it better.. but the racing clutch is just as hard as ever. so difficult to catch the biting point. The 550 horsepower on a modified Subaru WRX makes it fly.. ( normal saloon car is 180. Mazda 3 is 260 ) Unknowningly, I sped up to 150 while overtaking a Mercs. Didn't even notice it until I checked the speedometer... The low C.G coupled with the 4-wheel drive makes cornering an ease. Has been learning quite a bit of driving skills from my cousin, now its finally put to use on his car. Whee.. =)
Had a busy day in lab this afternoon. Its kinda irritating when everything is left for you to do it. ARhz.. Shall be patient. Anyway, took some photos while working. add some fun while doing those long hours of lab work.
Went to my 2nd Aunt's house to have a minor Bdae celebration. So funny can. My mum and dad bought the wrong cake. Supposed to be a Gong Xi Fa Cai/ Happy Birthday cake. In the end, it became a Happy new year Cake.. Lolx..
Had a "box" of Pineapple tart.. yum yum.. Thanks thanks, really a surprise, still say not very good at baking, so if good, I think can open shop and sell liao. =P

Scary day.
Went to BTNR ( Bukit Timah Nature Reserve ) in the morning with Des and Grace, as part of our self-directed learning for our SSS1207, natural heritage module. When to pick them up early in the morning, and we thought we were early, BTNR was already quite full. Oh goodness.. Had a really fun time walking through the trails suggested by the virtual tour provided by the prof,
Took our time to slowly observe the Flora and Fauna present.. It was kinda hard to recognise some Flora, since there wasn't any pics for us to take reference. Could only base on the signboards provided, plus the description provided in the notes to guess which is the correct species. Didn't really spot much Fauna, except the Squirrel, the Lao gao and some insects.
These 3 are my fav shots out of the 200 odds photos.
Think this one can be one of the Biology Tx Bk cover page.. lol



Some of the photos that we took, Didn't really put up much photos of the plants, since most won't understand what is it.
Went to Lot 1, to meet Jielin before going to Felicia's house to do the YEP medical report. Had quite a bit of problem finding my way there. Stared at the Streetdirectory.com for a really long time before I confirm my route of advancement. Zhe mo suo wo ye shi easterner, not westerner. Not familiar with the roads there. But well, we always have to try before we'll know how isn't it? So now I know more of that place liao. =) Hmm.. Think I took all the Expressway today liao. TPE,SLE,KJE,BKE,CTE,PIE,AYE,ECP. round island trip.
Oh man.. Had a scare of my life just now can... Was on the way home just now, I filtered to the left, and the car SKID!!! the car skid off the slippery road, 2 lanes away, mounted the curb on the side, cm away from the barrier. I really thought i confirm buang liao. It stopped just there.. Phew!!! Luckily, there wasn't any damage to the car, only a dent to the wheel. but I shan dao yao, cos of the abrupt turn... That's y i really hate driving on raining days. Don't know if its this car got no grip, but previous accident was also on a rainy day...

Ber's Bdae
When to VJ with dan in the morning to run.. Made a dash for 4.5km, some sort of test trial for speed, since IPPT is nearing de. Came back in 19min58s, Should be able to clear 2.4km under 9.30 i hope... And Meng just went to take IPPT today, came back with gold. $400 into his acct next week. Inspiration for me to go for it... Mountain to climb though. Really no confidence this time round. Feel so unfit now..


My SOP arrangement while studying in Sch..

The bottles of drinks, and coffee that kept me awake, fighting the Zzz monster..

Studied there till 6.30, before dan drop me off at ECP for fren's bdae bbq. Had quite a fun time there fooling around, With those chaps there who are always high with no apparent reasons. They have some problem cooking the bbq food, either uncook or chao da.. So decided to help out, so that nicely bbq food can be dished out. Didn't have my fav bbq food though. Haven't settle my cravings yet.. Don't know when that will be le..
Oh well, somethings that we did there..
Now its time to chiong lab report.. while watching man u's match.. Time is so tight..

KE VII hall play
Really tired from the past few days... I need a break from the hectic work and activities coming up. Can I just disappear for a few days? like throw my hp away and be uncontactable..
bought Junkai a shirt, from pull and bear to pu chang for the mess I made in his car, and the Supposedly thrown away shirt. ( found it lying on my bed just now ).. Though it's being a week, I still feel bad having done such a thing..
Went to watch the KE VII hall play, courtesy of Mr Edawin. To support for someone.
Was lost initially, cos we entered 15mins late, so didn't catch the beginning, and for the next 10mins, was trying hard to figure out what they were talking about, trying to make sense of the flowery language. Well.. Overall, the play was quite okay, with some outstanding actors who did well to keep the audience on their feets. Though I seriously don't get some parts of it. a bit too chim for my cheena brain.

Sometimes, I really wish that I can be irrational at times.. so that I can just follow my heart and not my brain.
