tennis!! in new school campus for the first time with 'coach' Vish.... =) today was "bring it up, bring it up the swing"... previously with coach andy was 'follow through, follow through with the swing" *grin.. didnt perform well on the court. Slightly disappointed though....my swinging momentum, footwork all seems to be screwed up...but that doesnt stop me, cause i'll make an effort to play tennis twice a week if possible when i return back...

school was AwesomE! many skipped but the 'studious' ones attended.. lecture was so way cool! very interactive.. we sat in a circle while lecturer was explaining about the beat impluse graph.... how to tell, if one has normal heart beat or abnormal from the graph. cool eh? duh... if its just one straight line... the fellow is dead!! no heart beat pulse... if the fellow beat rapidly, this shows his is indeed abnormal...

Next, we sat in semi circle right upfront of the screen.... weird thing was, supposely one will doze off sits at the back of the class.... for me? i'll doze off sitting upfront of the screen! *grin... #1 killer was heart attack followed by cancer... and found out that exercising helps reduce the chance, i think i probably overworked and die from exercising! ha.. still i love exercising, no doubt about it. =) i think i'll go into a Physiology and Pathology career if there's a chance.

Guess this shall be my last blog, till then! i shall bring Taiwan to you guys! hee..cause i brought two digital cameras, mine and simeon's. *smirk.

Last but not least.... i miss you all and Ian !! *hugs.. have a great Lunar New Year! enjoy house visiting, the food, red packet.... and take loads of pics as well! =)

watched "The perfect Man", it absolutely great.. fairytales kinda storyline... and i enjoyed it. You have to kiss many frogs, inorder to find the right prince..

As Norm says, the ideal guy might not be the perfect one... but the perfect one would be the ideal guy.

its only 8am+ parents are rearranging some furniture and nagging.... i was prepetually drowning from the noises of nagging till the moment i woke up. Initally was covering my face with the pillow.... to slience the noises, cant take it anymore and woke up...... all the naggings were about most of my stuffs.. So.... i have decided... not gona buy any stuffs to pamper myself but one thing for sure, im aiming for two tennis rackets... im surprised that one of them is 400+ bucks and the other is 300+ bucks, but i so like their design.... and its white in colour!!! hmm..... slowly save, no hurry to get. =)

had an enjoyable prata breakfast with wenrui... *grin. Learnt something new about him, he's coffee-aholic.. gotta admitt, i hardly ate breakfast out cause most of the time, either i skip breakfast or its prepared the moment i woke up.. but im kinda craving for Beijing duck meat.

School aint that boring today.... crapped and laughed during group discussion. Now everybody in my class knows im a tutor, cause the lecturer was stating an example asking who works freelance as a tutor, well... i raised my hand, followed by more questions about being a tutor *Oops... i like class interaction... *smirk... not shy! hee...

tennis again tml in school with vish. *yay!! brand new tennis court! =)

Spent 2/3 of the day doing sports! Started of with gym, 6km run, in the morning. Tennis with Vish, Norm and Andy in the afternoon... roasted and gotten a tann....

improved alittle more in tennis...especially backhand skills all thanks to 'Coach' Andy, so way cool! mad about tennis again now... its the swing and momentum of the arm, the precise judgment, footwork, flexibility and the sound of 'plop' when the racket contacts the ball makes me so excited and love the game! but i do tend to get freakout upon receiving fast and hard serves... Erm....tennis anybody? *lol..

dined out with Yenching and chilled out at Taka's coffee bean.... indulging in cakes. *grin. The mudpie was kinda dry, however, cappuccino cheesecake is 'heavenly'. Been months since i last saw her..... so much to talk and laugh about though we are six years apart.. was told by her to learn to tie up and experiement hairstyles. Alrights, i shall keep that in mind... cause i totally agree with her. Meanwhile, motivated her in her gym trainings.. =) months later we shall be meeting up again!

two days left to fly off.... and i have yet to do any packing. *shrugs smirk.... all i just need, perhaps hmm.... just camera, passport, phone and toothbrush!

gym and ran 5km! Felt great from workout.. and was enjoyable! unexpectedly lost half a kg from the kg i gained... =) great! am gona keep it up.. Felt positively cheerful today!! especially after gym.... working out always makes me happy!

Did some quiet reading in school library before lessons..... ended up shivering terribly in class...*brr.... sipping hot water to keep warm. Lecture was enjoyable with his jokes.. but kinda draggy though. Mind was kinda off track and distracted by smses... multi tasking *hee... surprised that someone, him, smsed though a short while but it shows friendship concern. =)

enjoyable dinner with Norm and Andy at Norm's recommendation new western store at Toa payoh. Mutton soup and fish & chips was rather delectable.. not too much flour, not too oily.

"a girl crush on guy" show, to lighten up from some laughter...one should catch it. Hillary duff looks great in that show....

Was watching an interview with Lance Armstrong.... somehow gotten inspirational.. his passion for sports and especially cycling but he had to go through an ordeal of cancer battle and managed to stay strong and survive. Thats how the Livestrong yellow wrist band for cancer patients came about.

i felt that... with the undying passion, there will be strong determination and perseverance. There's something i could learn from....

friend, Wenrui, showed this... the beauty and grandeur of the sport of cycling is portrayed in a distinctive and artful manner that feature some of the greatest, and most spectacular, moments in the sport of cycling.

Freaky! guess what??!

i went JB alone today! initally was filled with doubts.. *grey clouds forming on my head. *hee... a gal wandering in a stranger country. It takes alot of courage.... but i did it with the Lord's protection, nothing bad happened. Though was told it aint a safe country.. yes, things beyond one's control may happened and i experienced the Lord's care. =)

Oops.. had alittle trouble with custom cause of the passport photograph....*bite lower lip. troublesome! have to change the photograph due to the difference of hair length and less chubbier...oh well, shall change find some time to change it next week then!

knew a new friend today, Iris, she is the young lady whom did facial for me today...despite knowing her for less than an hour, we bonded... sharing each others personal opinions and experiences. Was surprised when was told that she doesnt confide in strangers until she met me. flabbergasted! guess i found my talent.. *blush. =)

felt tired after that when i arrived back sg.. bought some food stuffs, gums, and many many XXL size lollipop with gums inside. Rather unusual.... looks like i have to open my mouth real wide. *say ahh......

suppose to gym, swim and tennis today.... but only could managed to play tennis... *grin. Tennis skills improved alittle with coaching from coach, Andy! though it rained half way but we dried the courts after the rain stopped with the sponge roller....it was fun.

Tennis is so much fun once gotten the hang of it.. From now onwards, Wednesday will be my tennis day. =) Seems like im turning into a sports fanatic.. or am i already one?

After tennis, chilled out in the air con lounge..... watching tv programmes from as advertise Samsung plasma tv. Erm, can i have one of that in my room too?? lol...

tutored in the morning. Gym and ran 4.9km... great to see many familiar faces. Exchanged smiles and had an easy going conversation with the Tini, the instructor.. initally was feeling discouraged in training but shall not give up... im just half way there must kick away the mindset of... "so near, yet so far"

came across this quote when i was browsing student's school journal.. quite like it and found encouragement in it.

Quote:
"You cannot change circumstance, the seasons or the wind but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. "

somehow, to me i have been thinking of students' attitude, i cant change the circumstances around me but i can change myself.. which is something i can take charge of.

bought 5 snickers chocolate bars... yes, its f-i-v-e! ate three today... one for student, and left one more in my bag! Im a snickers freak now... 3 days in a row that i have been eating snickers.... nutty and chocolately!~ just realised that snickers is a product from Australia. Cool.... we learnt something new daily. *smirk.

Gotten motion sickness from playing halo with lil j.. i sucks big time in it!!

digital camera's under service care.. think the lens was broken from its fall! Was told that it needs two weeks to be repaired... *silly frowns, due to the availability of the spare parts. *lol... guess i gotta borrow friend's camera for the trip.

Hung out with Charlene before school cause i happened to be opposite of her work place. School was rather enjoyable.. though my mind was drifting midway~. charlene almost fell asleep in class beside. *smirk..

Magically craving for "Snickers" chocolate bars... so elated when i managed to grab hold a bar and sink my teeth into it during breaktime from lessons.

didnt gym... due to laziness... confirm gained weight! =P

im tangled up in life's mess...everything seems to go wrong. *huge frowns with wrinkles! =(

bummers:
1. accidentally dropped camera and its now spoilt...
2. facing students' unreasonable attitudes builds stress....
3. pc mouse semi spoilt
4. personal pressure from personal stuffs
5. etc....

im trying not to count those bummers and look on the positive side. Cause God hasnt taken my breath away, which is something i should really be grateful. Telling myself that tml will be a better day... since there's great improvement in the weather recently.

whats more than to start tml with gym and swim.... miss having swim buddy. Most importantly camera for repair tml!!

was super duper late for morning, guess i was still tired from yesterday's activites. Another evening tutoring... and im dead tired. Gotten a new p5 boy student.... though i had the though of dropping current older students. Its cause i cant tolerate their selfishness.... pestering and bugging me. I just like to be carefree....

Suppose to have lunch with Ian but he has gotten guard duty. *aww... hence next weekends. =) Meanwhile, getting food phobia.... time for workout!! Went shopping with mom and sister for thick jackets.. Took some silly pictures from mom's phone!

Tutored the Taiwan student this morning! weather has improved! =)

Went Jb with yumei, her sisters, her brother and cleo! 6 of us.... amazing how the each of us could actually have a bite of a Kfc's fish burger from there.. i had two bites! so its actually eleven bites to finish it.. sharing saliva as the burger is passed in circles. Ha... not as gross as you think. Besides its considered as an 'experiment' if i put it in my own scientific terms... aint that lamE?!

Besides that ate egg tart, dim sum stuffs, CNY food tasting, Taiwan jelly samplings too.. they had this grass jelly with coffee! really delicious...

yumei and i did facial there too.. mine hurts hurts and hurts! ended up as red as baboon's butt. (smirk, that's norm's favourite phrase for me) heading JB next week again too! JB is now offically my shopping playground. *grin .Bought some food stuffs home for family.... was told that i look taiwanese by the facial lady. *stunned... i think yumei has those features, not me! *scratch head..

thinking of changing new hairstyle, maybe i'll just observe how taiwanese style their hair and learn a tip or two from them during the CNY trip. Hee... meanwhile, gona get some rest and recharged.... tired!

flunk basic theory again! i give up....

went gym, second day in a row, ran 3.5km and did more other cardios. i love doing crunches now!!

Took a nap before i went school, was suppose to meet sinyee in town for a while but didnt in the end. Marketing lesson was enjoyable.. was sitting the furthest row from the lecturer taking down notes studiously even the class joker was surprised that i jotted down notes when he turned around. I meant, it a business module, so guess, i'll just need to put in more effort.

Charlene was sick, i thought i was gona be bored in class.... but i got along joking with other classmates too.. *smirk.

Lesson wasnt tensed up but relaxing, hearing lecture and smsing most of the time- hardworking and slack at the same time. no wonder lecturer didnt warn me about my smsing marathon. *hee.. some were eating but lecturer was cool about it and he likes the fact that the class's involvement and interaction was pretty good. The first group did their presentation, mine will be two weeks later. Believe it or not i like presentation, its fun and interactive!! =)

Been reading the bible these days.... joy in me is overflowing! Praise Him! *grin

went gym.. did 2.4km and the usuals. =) school was a little dull... very lengthy lecture, new indian lecturer who dresses up like a business woman. Almost fall asleep in class.. but bought two flavours of m&m's, cripsy and plain chocolate, during break and munched them with Charlene in class... yea, lecturer saw it but no objections... *hee. though m&m reminds me of crush.. cause he wore an m&m design tee, the last time i went out with him. oh well~.... memories. =)

drats forgot to bring umbrella while i rushed out for tutoring, Charlene was kind enough and we share an umbrella in the heavy rain all the way to the bus stop after school. *smile.. gotten alittle wet but was fun!

heart broken... just loathe that feeling. crush was avoiding me for a period of time but now things are pretty much alrights. Though i felt like i lost a part of me. The reason was he was confused... cause his ex gf just recently came back from overseas studies suddenly, a choice had to be made, im gald he made his right choice. i wont want anybody to be emotionally hurt, cause i rather be the one though i cried alittle.

Well, we still maintain as good friends but it wont work out more than that though we did clicked.. though i was hurt but what 'doesnt kills you made you stronger'. i guess i just need time to heal.... Sometimes, i feel, i have lose something inorder to gain something.. which is to cherish everything around you.

a huge thanks to Andy, Norm and Sinyee.. im very touched in their efforts to try to cheer me up. Andy accompanied me shopping almost the whole day in town but my mind wasnt in the mood kept thinking about the above mentioned problem.. now legs are tired to the core. Norm cried and we group hugged at Bishan dome taking pictures together despite the wet weather.. thats what true friends are for. Everytime i fall, they never failed to picked me up. love them loads. =) *hugs

will be flying in 18 days' time.. nervous though but before that, Norm will be celebrating her 21st birthday at Ministry of Sound, MOS. its going to my first time clubbing! this is just an exceptional. I ought to get back to proper training starting from tml.. awaits the new image i have planned to transform!

so there..tml will be a better day, at least i know with its tears-free, im sure! *grin

A whole day of rain and i really meant whole day! Tutored and had sakae sushi with norm and erig for dinner, it was hilarious dinning with them. Had mainly raw food and my fav. eel dish... *yum.

After dinner caught the movie, Derailed, with crush. *grin... shared with him some of the lame jokes which student shared. Had some laughter... =) the show was pretty alrights, mundane storyline with a little twist at the ending, its the company that made me enjoyed myself.. gee.. i think i really love being with him.

the song, You gotta be, struck my mind as i was listening from my ipod while travelling... perhaps the lyrics made me realised and encourages me to be stronger in every failure i encounter..

Desree
title: you gotta be

Listen as your day unfolds,
try to keep your head up to the sky...
challenge what your future holds,
lovers they may cause you tears,
go ahead release your fears
stand up and be challenged
dont be ashamed to cry.

you gotta be, you gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser,
you gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together,
all i know all i know is love will save the day.
you gotta be hard you gotta be tough you gotta be stronger.

time asks no questions, it goes on without you,
leaving you behind if you cant stand the pace,
the world you cant stop it and if you try to,
fades out to you gotta be bad.

been lagged blogging... too many surprising things happened.. *smirk. skin allergy still on the 82% recovery.. and its been raining every single day.

Today, officially back tutoring.... after resting for more than a week, cant wait for incoming salary. *lol.

friday, went to watch movie with crush at Great World City, i was nervous with butterflies fluttering in the stomach, crush had the same nervous wreck feeling to the extend of having stomachache but it turned out enjoyable. We got along really well. things may actually sparks up... or perhaps it has... *shrugs & grin...

thursday, went gym! finally~ and started day one of school... marketing, how the market is targetting females as their potential buyers rather than males. I duno... but i find business is just contradicting to human some times.. but contradicting to the extend of creative ideas and making money. *heh.. and the cool thing is, i like my project group, me, charelene, nic and sam!! sam happens to be sinyee and my neighbour, whom joined my class this term! such small world.. *grin

Thanks Sinyee for the retro orange design alarm clock and to say i still own ya a belated Birthday present... Norm will be having her 21 first birthday, 3 weeks later.

School's back... just viewed the 3rd term's schedule.. oh my, its packed! but i'll be looking forward to new challenges in school from the new modules.. =)

yesterday, crush thought of an idea that we both write a letter and exchanged it via online.. *aww...surprised =) found out that he actually could stayed longer in KL but the reason behind was me. *blush.. in his letter i could sense sincerity and thoughfulness.. the rest shall not reveal.... *shh.. grin. Today, was again surprised by his second letter..." life is just full of surprises "

God news!!! am 55% recovered! =) predict that the skin will probably peels in a few days time.. *eww right? but skin cells dropped off everywhere every one goes... but from this experience most importantly, i learnt and felt family and everybody's care, love and prayers... *Hugs.. thanks to all!

Sinyee and i were talking about the crush and the next moment when my mobile beeped, speak of the devil... yea, he's back. *grin.. ^^ thats when my phone starts beeping lively again.

Suppose to have a tanning date with Val tml.... needless to say, can't.
