it's edging closer...

it's almost april!!! my gosh so fast... almost 2 months since i ord-ed. well all i can say is thank goodness i wasn't in the PTP batch, otherwise i'd still be in the army now hahaha more or less packed up my army stuff in my cupboard already. just got a bit left to do, like kiwi my 2 pairs of mouldy boots =p i've finally redone the wiring around my table, so it's much neater now and the power points are on top finally. one thing i've realised is that now i take much more effort in keeping my room clean and tidy hahaha or at least my table lah. this is the first time in my nearly 21 years of existence that i've actually tidied up my table and cupboard without my mum nagging at me for like a week or something hahaha something good that came out of army i guess.

t19 will be going to hongkong on july. helped them book the tickets already. fewer people are going this time, and only about half of those who went to phuket can go. i can't go, because the period that they've chosen to go away is during my special term 2 exams. oh well... there's always a next time i guess =) i just hope the guys bring enough entertainment hahaha because the girls are going to shop shop shop.

alot of big parties this month hahaha wendy's party, bang's party, my family party at home and my lunch/dinner with t19. dunno where we're going... josh organising for me hahaha even if he didn't organise i would've heehee t19 is like my 2nd family now =p

i've slowly been exercising more these days. swimming with wendy, running around my neighbourhood, badminton on sundays and sometimes on fridays too. but somehow it's still not enough hahaha just can't burn as much energy and sweat as much as i did last time.

one random thing i've noticed is that, with oil prices going up which somehow causes a chain reaction and everything else increasing in price, one thing that isn't following the trend if electronic stuff! owning a laptop now is much easier than it was a couple of years ago. storage devices are getting unbelievably cheap, but of course new technology like ps3 won't be cheap. just wait for ps4 hahaha look at ps2 now... i'm surprised they're still selling them though =p

long time no beach

i finally went to sentosa yesterday, after such a long hiatus from that place. not a very big outing. just me, josh and louis at first. while we were on the way there josh called tini, and not very surprisingly, our phone call woke her up hahaha so it was just the 3 of us at first. parked at the beach carpark, then decided that we wanted to go to tanjong beach. so... we used our "kahs", a.k.a. legs. trotted our way down to tanjong beach where many and her team of friends were taking part in some beach fiesta competition. they got thrashed quite badly in captain's ball. guess that's what happens when u don't have training together. but they put up a good fight! =)

good thing for us we managed to find some shady spots along the beach which were suitable for volleyball, so we didn't get into the sun as much. but in the end we still got burnt, of course. never a time when i've been to the beach and not been burnt. and we did something quite innovative in the showers. since the toilet was damn crowded, as usual, we found ourselves 2 toilet cubicles and put our bags there and took turns to change. so people were still queuing up while we were happily bathing and changing already hahaha

after sentosa we went to paradiz centre in the hopes of buying some class board games so we don't always have to go out and pay for food and games. in the end... we went to the wrong place, and since it was raining and we liked how dry we were, we decided to go to josh's house to play other games hahaha entertainment centre cum food storage =p never go hungry or bored over there man hahaha

managed to go for a run today. was worried that my burnt shoulders would give me some problems with the singlet, but it was alright. no construction today so i ran 4 clicks. slow start to my exercise programme. still have to paint the fence this week. will have to wear a sleeved shirt to paint it though, otherwise i'll be in lots of pain. but doing that fence is really time consuming man... and don't have many hours of daylight in singapore where the sun isn't blazing hot.

anyway man u whooped liverpool tonight. chelsea is winning so far... hopefully they in instead of arsenal hahaha i rarely wish chelsea to win =p raikkonen won with hamilton further down. alonso not making much impact back at renault so far this season. jealousy between teammates is quite a big issue in F1... surprisingly bmw aren't doing too bad! good thing there weren't as many dropouts from today's race. took them a race to get use to the lack of traction control now. but massa really wasted his chance to come in 2nd, which would've effectively given ferrari the lead in the constructors pts. what a waste of his 2nd pole out of 2 so far.

28 months and counting. tough times are ahead... they were never that easy... but there are always easier and tougher times. perseverance is key, absence makes the heart grow fonder...

random...

i really love driving at night. no rush... so peaceful... until the traffic lights kick in. on the expressways are the best hahaha at night i'm less likely to speed i think, because it's just nice to drive slowly at night somehow. i just love driving lah hahaha

on the way back from sending wendy home tonight, i thought i saw a mini cooper/s with a funny sign on it's boot. you know they usually have a cooper/s on the right hand side of their boot? well i thought i saw it as OOP/S hahaha maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me but i checked and double checked, and it appeared to me as OOP/S. and i wasn't going fast... maybe 60? but it was interesting enough for me to keep my eye off the road for a second hahaha

and MY PANTS ARE OFFICIALLY GETTING TOO TIGHT FOR ME!!! but i guess i had it coming. i had those pants since before the times in CJ, when everyone was on an exercise high and got into what was probably the fittest stage of their lives. and now after ord i'm just eating lots and lots of food. not that i'm not exercising, but it's the least amount of exercise i've done since before JC hahaha which was more than 5 years ago. thus... my pants are getting too tight for me =p either i change my entire pants wardrobe soon, or maintain my current weight but lose the belly. one is costly, the other one is time consuming... oh well... money's a bit tight now since i'm living off savings, so exercising is the more realistic option obviously =p

SO! tomorrow i'm going swimming with wendy in the morning, then i'm going to play badminton in the evening with her and her good-est friend at jurong east. i might go running at night, see how i feel. as i was JUST sharing with many, running in my area is quite bad in the morning and evenings, which are the usual best times to run. the rush hour traffic and construction combined together will just torture your lungs and make it damn difficult for you to run. so my best option is running at night. but that screws up my dinner timing... so i'm kind of in a bit of a dilemma right now.

and i don't understand why people don't reply their emails. mass messaging with handphones is just too expensive, and got alot of information to share, so sending out emails is the best alternative. but some people just don't want to reply!!! you log on to msn so you definitely know you've got email. and if i'm your contact on msn, means it definitely won't go to the junk mail folder, so you definitely see it! but just can't be bothered to msg or email your answer... bloody irritating!!! ggrrr... hopefully the mid year holiday pulls through. it would be nice to go overseas with t19 again. but then again girls going crazy shopping during a sale, not a very good prospective for the guys hahaha and we're now 5t19... damn we're old!

post NS...

i must say so far the time i've spent since ORD sfter cny and nz has been going by rather peacefully. reason being, after i went for my first run in ages after coming back from nz i got a bloody sore throat. since then i've avoided running past the construction sites along my usual running route. the problem with running on roads is that sooner or later you'll need a mask to keep breathing properly. that was more than a week ago, and keeping in mind the endless rain over this past week, i finally went running again after the sun finally shone through the clouds high up there. honestly i didn't really feel much tightness in my legs as i thought i would, instead i felt much inertia coming from my belly hahaha all the eating and eating has indeed taken it's toll. even though i've finally gone over 70kg again (haven't done that since i enlisted), it's just more than my body is used to =p

on monday i made my way down to NTU to give them my tuition grant form. all i can say is that i'm damn damn damn glad i managed to borrow my mum's car that day, because whatever i wanted to do, was done in less than 5 minutes. taking public transport there would've just drove my crazy hahaha luckily clar was free to bring me around the school, since she claimed that the maps provided always suck hahaha so i didn't spend time and petrol going round and round the school. will have to go back again around my birthday for the medical. can't believe go uni also need medical...

now i've got 3 puzzles hanging on my wall hahaha the first one that started it all from australia, and a couple of small transformers ones that look just really damn cool hahaha wendy's got all the big ones hahaha we just sent a 2000 piece one to the frame shop. she wants to do a 4000 piece one, but i'm seriously thinking whether her room has space to put it =p and there really is a very very limited range of puzzles here. maybe need to go to more shops to see more.

i just hope this nagging sore throat goes away very very soon... irritating crap!
