Short update...

This week has passed in a flash.. Been busy with training, visiting and band.. Much has happened this week.. Things that i just cannot understand why..

But i am grateful to have seen and be with Evelyn today.. Spending time with her always makes me really really happy.. I guess its really true that the lesser time spent together, the more you would treasure the person.. If you spend everyday together, after a while it just gets boring..I need time, space and peace..

Going to get these in 3 weeks time.. Will update more another day... Super no mood...

Happy NIU Year!

Well, once again it is the Lunar New Year and to all Chinese, this is the most important day as it marks the beginning of a brand new year! It has been great starting with the Reunion Dinner at my grandmother's place.. We had steamboat and it was delicious! I was so hungry that i ate too much!! The spring cleaning earlier in the day really used up all my energy!! It has been oficially a year since i came back on the 25th Jan 2008 till now! But something major was missing and that is my brother.. Without you at the table on reunion dinner or the visiting around, it feels so empty.. I miss you..

I am glad we managed to skype with you despite the difference in time and also how tired you were.. I can so totally understand how you feel lah.. While talking to you, looking at your face from a laptop, I felt like crying because i know how you felt and i miss you so much..

So we headed home after dinner and skyping and started to relax.. Dad, mum and me watched the super good Hong Kong movies on Channel 8 and before we know it, it was like 3 plus 4am already!! Hahaz.. I believe that is late enough to 守睡so that my parents would have a good, healthy long life!! =) But i have no worries too because this year my parents would be getting a 24hour or more marathon on 守睡! My brother and i have become a tag team! I will take the first shift and when i go to sleep, my brother would already be wide awake to take over the second shift!! Hahaz..

So my parents and i went visiting today and it wasn't really warming.. I don't know why.. Maybe because my brother is not here with us, or that this year many relatives aren't allowed to celebrate the new year due to a death of a family member.. Whatever it is, the new year goodies are still good!! The kueh bangkit, cashew nuts, almond cookies, keuh bahlu, CHENG TNG and much more has been so great!! Ate till i really cannot stop! Hahaz..

Best place was my grand aunt aka my nanny's place.. She cooked pig stomach soup, black sauce duck, vegetables, bammboo shoots with pork and fish! Wha, i ate until there is like no tomorrow!! Drank 2 BIG bowls of soup, ate like the duck drumstick and alot of meat, i think i ate the whole banboo shoot too and loads of my favourite vegetables!! Hahaz!! It was SUPERLY GOOD AND SUPERLY SHOIK!! Had a really great time there!!I am so going for a run tomorrow with my son!! Hahaz.. Burn those calories so i can eat even more!! Hahaz!!

It has been an interesting year with ALOT of spiritual encounters.. Seriously, you won't believe it till you see it! This is the very first time that i have experienced so many encounters in like 2 days?! This just makes me ponder about the supernatural.. I do not know how to explain because people might not believe as it is hard to, but all i can say is that, always keep an open mind because you will never know what can happen next.......................

For now, i am super sleepy and tired! Hope i can wake up to run tomorrow!! More visiting and good food to come!!

My fastest 5km time trial so far...

Yesterday coach spring a SUPRISE on us! We were supposed to do 1600m, 1200m, 800m and 400m with 400m active recovery.. But before we started, coach say got surprise for us! And it was a 5km time trial!! Hahaz.. So this means 12 and a half rounds around the track!! Hahaz.. And my timing are as follow:

1/2) 56.64

1) 2.04.88

2) 2.12.18

3) 2.14.51

4) 2.17.15

5) 2.20.78

6) 2.19.85

7) 2.20.01

8) 2.23.09

9) 2.25.67

10) 2.28.11

11) 2.18.12

12) 2.15.44

The timings are quite disappointing as i was not consistent.. I was too fast at the front and slowed down alot by the back... I kept playing the song Thousand Miles in my brain, to keep me going despite the strong wind and glaring sun!! I am glad that i did in a total time of 28.37.16!! Last time when i first started my 5km was like 38mins in year 1.. Now i have improved!! I think its the dark chocolate and overdosage of kueh bahlu that i ate.. Hahaz!!

In the night i went to my aunt's place to bake pineapple tarts!! Yeah!! It was fun and i truly enjoyed myself! But quite guilty cause i had to trouble my aunt and delay her bedtime... So today i am going to bake again at her place!! Round 2!! Hahaz.. Also i am heading out later to teach trumpet in a secondary school.. Hope i would be of help cause i really want to!! Tuesday's session was great for me, they DO learn fast, but they need to be a bit more serious.. Only 2 more months to competition...

I shall sign off here as i have to CONTINUE to spring clean the house.. My room is SO NEAT, i am SO NOT USED TO IT! Hahaz.. Then i wonder again, how long do you think it will lasts? Hahaz!!

A Reguler Update..

So last week i have been busy with working, though i fell sick on Friday and did not work.. Darn! There goes my one FULL day of money making opportunity.. Hate it when I fall sick and cannot go to work like super last minute.. So now i am just going to wait and take my pay another day..

Yesterday should be my last day le.. Hahaz.. Worked with David, Jun Xiong and many others.. I had a very great 'last' day with David and Jun Xiong.. Received alot of positive feedback and comments from them.. They really brightened my day.. Well, will definitely keep in touch with them, especially David.. Hahaz.. Look like a super big giant but actually very nice on the inside..

Then i had training today.. Before that, i woke up at like 8am this morning when i slept at 2am last night.. Throughout the night, i kept waking up lah! Darn the 2 cups of tea that i drank last night.. Hahaz.. Had breakfast with my mum, then did some stuffs here and there... Went for lunch at Burger King cause my mum felt like having it.. Hahaz... Then went marketing and headed home and left for training soon after..

Today sets quite exciting for me.. Too long never swim, lack of training = super slow.. Hahaz! But i got training buddy today, Yanling!! But she too fast ah, second set of 500m i cannot follow her.. She really improved alot man, proud of her!

Well, today i swam like there are sharks behind me again.. Hahaz.. Surivived it though!! Glad to have seen Xue Ying, Kai Wen and Annette.. They added much fun to training!! Oh! I found out that head butt in water is SUPER fun! Hahaz... Right Xuee?

Then coach did her drill sets, sprint 25m, then do dips or push ups.. I can barely feel my arm lah!!! And i am so tired now i can sleep within seconds.. Hahaz.. I love the feeling when you know you can sleep within seconds cause i no need to toss and turn in bed..

Tomorrow i am going to teach trumpet in a totally new school.. Hope I can help them and be of good use!! =)

Day well spent...

Today i woke up like 10plus in the morning, had breakfast and started to clear my room.. Before i know it, it was time to meet my son and i quickly took a shower before zooming out of the house.. We had SUBWAY EAT FRESH for lunch.. I just love SUBWAY!! Hahaz..

Then we sat and chat for quite a while.. We talked about alot of things, from anorexic to bullimic to friends to relationships to what 2009 would be like for the both of us.. I love to spend time and chat with him cause i know i can just pour everything out and know i won't get judged.. It is just so easy to tell him how i feel and stuff, to pour out my feelings.. The things that we talked about just left me thinking about my life and stuff.. Sometimes what you see or think might not really be true or real.. Don't you agree?

For example, you see this person as your best friend, but is this person REALLY your best friend? You see this person as the love of your life, but will this person be with you forever? There are so many superficial things on Earth, what you see might not always be true or real.. This topic always leaves me deep in thoughts... Hahaz...

Then i headed home, felt super sleepy and lazy.. But in the end decided that i REALLY needed to swim.. Hahaz.. Went for training and swam in the SUPER DUPER cold waters today!! Hahaz.. Did the warm up, 20 x 25m drills, main set and sprint sets.. Super tiring, but satisfying! Hahaz... I swam till my lungs were going to come out!

Then after that we went for dinner at Bedok 85 with my tri babes!! Xue Ying, Kai Wen, Annette and her boyfriend.. Its a pity that alot of stalls were closed and i could not take those nice food cause i STILL got my sore throat... Darn man, it has been with me for like what, A MONTH?! Maybe i should go get it checked.. OR maybe i should just sleep earlier.. Hahaz..

I had a great day today, seeing Khairul, meeting the tri babes.. I miss you babes so much, haven't seen you babes for quite a while.. Hahaz.. Well, whatever it is, i am sure that this is one of the best ways to mark a great great way to start my year of 2009!

Back to work!

When people are back in school, i am back to work!! Hahaz.. Well, last week just work for 2 days and i am going to work for 4 days next week! Going to work like a mad dog again, just to earn somemore money before i fly off..

Thursday 8am

Friday 8am

Sat 8am (continue staff)

Sunday 10am..

WOW!! Hahaz.. Dumb me just forgot that i have a pre-departure seminar to attend on the 17th Jan which is on a Sat! So now i am awaiting the change of schedule.. Darn it man... Oh yah! I have got my pay risen by 50CENTS! Yeah!! Hahaz.. I know it is not significant, but in such recession times, i as a part-timer get $6.50 is better than just $6 right?! I mean every cent counts okie...

So 2 weeks of January has passed and it is just amazing how times flies.. I start to feel the jittery feeling already and i don't know why! Part of me is SO eager to go, but part of me is not.. I guess that is what happens when you are about to leave the country for a while.. Looking forward to the new adventure, but not willing to leave the comfort of home at the same time.. Hahaz...

So hopefully i survive next week's events.. Should be some important seminar or if not is they cannot get enough staff thats why i would have to work morning! Just miss working with the group when i first started off... Haiz.. OH YAH! I have not bought ANYTHING for new year yet!! I am so screwed!! Need to do last minute shopping again!!

Last year this time, i was happily shopping in Shanghai for all the good Zara deals! Hahaz.. Came back to Singapore weighing 59kg like a heavy weight champion!! But this has been a healthy Singapore food year for me with lots of races and now i am super toned!! Hahaz.. Not forgetting super thick skin too!! =)

So i am in need of money, new year clothes and more gatherings!! Yeah!! =)
