It's getting a lil late. Finally my week is coming to an end.. at least no more school for the next one week.

Dad juz told me dat the ger's team is going to be disband.It might be a good thing??..Maybe it'll give us more time to reform the team. While my boy juz told me during our dinner dat they have managed to keep the guys' team.

And I realised dat I lost my thumbdrive. Shucks.

Dad lost his handphone. He sounds a lil exasperated thou.

Im sleepy...zzz..

Been trying to do my assignment..or rather do my readings. There's like tons of it..piling and piling...grr..

The week, again..has passed in a flash..*zoooommm*

Din attend a single weekday training this week. *feeling guilty* Joined my class for ICG BBall on Tue and Wed. eh Im not good lah..and I committed footwork mistakes oso. sigh..the only thing i cld do a lil better is run and mark the opponents. But den again, Im blur @ times too. My class, together with 3D managed to get thru to the semis =) Personally Im really impressed by our captain's sportsmanship and leadership. She smiled in every single game dat she played and gave everyone a chance to play, whether we're skilled or not. Thks gal =)

GIRL power!

And my GESL has finally got moving after our meeting on Thur @ a freaking timing of 530-730. Finalized with working with ACRES- an association committed to wildlife conservation. Im supposed to be the asst communications rep for the proj..oh well. And im thkful dat we have one of our guys, Vincent, who's a personal fren of the executive director of ARCES and an IT-Savvy guy to assist us. I share the belief that service learning is an important aspect in education. datz why Im totally fine in playing a bigger role in this project.



Sharon and myself



My group =) and thks Vincent for the nice imaging effects.

On friday, we made a visit down to ARCES located in Sungei Tengah..somewhere near Old Chuo Chu Kang Rd. The site is still under construction and will officially open on 19 Sep. The enclosures are huge..as the location allow them to have huge plots of land. Did learn a lot during my trip and had a further discussion on how may we help the organization. Will post up the photos of the enclosure when I get hold of them. Itz quite an interesting plc juz a lil ulu due to the lack of public transport. Hopefully, in time to come, the problem can be solved.

I bought a new crumpler with my boy on Saturday. We got a 10% discount cos Yvette's citibank card. There were limited choices *bleah* but at least we managed to get the same bag hee. So that elevate the lil disappointment. =) My bag is still @ his plc....

I've just registered myself for the New Balance Real Run! It's 15KM this year. I've enjoyed my last Real Run which was hmm..2 or 3 yrs ago? haa. There was variation in the terrain, datz y it's slightly better den the other runs which was pure running. But I felt a lil lu-gee then cos the event tee was too big for me, so i had to give it away!Hopefully this year will be better organized =)

Next weekend will be my first attempt @ the half marathon! grr..nv really train..hopefully I wont die too badly haa.

Now Im pondering whether to sign up for the standard chartered full marathon. It's now going for $75..sigh why do we haf to pay so much to juz run........

How come my week passes so fast...before I know it, it's already sunday. And it's Sunday AFTERNOON!! Let's see..what have I been busy with for the last week.

Monday was the most peaceful. Haa except during content upgrading, we were required to do a heat neutralization experiment. It's been ages since I entered a lab to do an experiment. It felt a lil awkward. haa..and for that particular experiment, we had to submit a report! *cold sweat* The other experiment was VA on Friday. Actually titrations are my favourite, so I din have much problems with dat. Oh and on Monday, i did my first run of the semester in NTU! haha.

I offered my help to the round-singapore DB team (made up of NJ Alumni and a grp of db enthusiasts) in a charity bazaar. So from Wed til Fri, I was selling items in NTU. The first day was the most tedious cos a grp of us had to carry the stuffs (3 BIG boxes of clothes donated by a branded store) from hall 7, all the way to North Spine. Thk goodness, one of us drove.. *phew* SOmehow, I suddenly felt like an NJCian all over again, working together with other familiar faces from our alumni.

Oh I bought a 1yr subscription for readers' digest dat costs me $80. Supposed to be discounted haa..My classmate was making fun of me saying dat I dun even haf time to read my text books, where do I find the time for readers digest. haa

And my class emerged as the first runner up for ICG Volleyball. Good job guys!

I did mini-tennis for our Principles of Games class this week. Kind of like it hee.

Yesterday, i managed to catch 881 with my boy. He was kind of emo from watching the show. I tink he was able to relate to certain parts of the show..Maybe the part where "small papaya" was struggling agst her illness. 881 is good =) A simple local production which was able to invoke mixed emotions from the audience, not only from the characters', the context but oso from the many Hokkien songs..One of them was this "一人一半" song. It is "artistically" produced and having taken a lil c.lit back in JC, I felt that I was able to better appreciate certain "literal effects" (shucks...I think my english is getting bad) in the show.

I dunno how to feel about trgs these days. Trg frequency has gone back to the usual tue, thur, sat and sun. Attendance has been disappointing but I guess it is sort of inevitable when everyone in the team has their own priorities =) Upcoming..we most likely will haf SAVA and the 5 -crew race.

The guys have been recommended by the association for the upcoming SEA Games. Whether they'll be going..it'll be known by next week. Come on guys! jia you!

Personally I hope to have a bit of time to get back on a kayak. Missed those days when I was paddling in Macritchie..=) And on Thur, I joined the NTU gers for their land trg for a while (their conditioning part and cool down). Oh well..I was q shocked by some of their conditioning exercise- 150 crunches, 80 leg lifts etc..and cooling down run was 8 rounds..woohoo.

Eh many other eventful things happened this week..and I cant pen them all down! TOO MANY..TOO FAST!!

After the trial last Saturday, a small grp of us headed down to Party World Shenton Way for a KTV session. The session itself was great not cos of the ambience but cos of the company I had. Actually i felt that the sound system @ partyworld was q terrible, given the echo and it was worse when we din have the freedom to control the echo as well as the pitch.hmm..and the tidbits were not refill-able! sigh..thot we shld haf gone to k-box instead haa..think the total ktv experience over @ kbox is better.

Sunday was spent q luxuriously..woohoo..Had a kayaking session @ macritchie. It's been a while since I went onto a k. haa..my butt felt over-sized for the tiny seat! After which MS & I did a short run over @ macritchie..haa again, it's been a while since we ran in macritchie!! Every ting felt good, relaxed..haa for the old woman =)

Din feel like going home, I went over to sdba to wait for my boy. Haa dis time, Im the one sitting up there watching ppl row. Met a couple of familiar faces..including my team mates and juniors who are rowing for mountbatten, the old and new nteam guys haha..oh well. =)

I wonder how things will proceed/ change after the trials.

Travelling has become a chore recently.

Travel expenses has gone up..(Hougang-boon lay-kallang-Hougang) haha..and it's almost like becoming a routine kind of thing, which I have anticipated even before school started. Din wanted to stay in hall cos I thot I've had enough of hall life during my 3 years of stay in NTU..haa

Maybe cos it's juz the start of all these travelling, datz y it's more tedious. But once I've gotten a hang of it, i'll probably get used to all these traveling up and down.

After failing my driving, I havent gone to apply for my retest. i shld probably go get it done today.

It'll be the actual time trial later. And we even haf to bring our IC for verification! Make it or break it. Thou many have been saying dat even thou we did well for our trials, our chance of going to SEA Games is still very slim. I saw how tired and exasperated dad had been. I understand how tiring it has been for him to hold on. A traditional thinking coach I feel..dat he has put all the burden and responsibilities to hold the team together on himself. Sometimes I hope he could juz let go and fulfil his wishes to travel, after working all these tens of years, getting his hair greyed and wrinkles appearing(but hey, my dad is still the most good-looking and charming guy ard! *whistles). Let's see how it goes later. This trial is a determining factor for many of us. A turning point.A switch of focus. In just 2 sets of hopefully less den 2:20 time.

不久以前，我好像成了一只冷血的动物。身上流着热腾腾的血，但却是毫无知觉的。

不久以后，我发现。。我还是会被感动的。。。

很单纯的感动...

静静聆听, 诚恳的眼神, 真心的拥抱

永远，我不知道。但我会珍惜现在.

It's been q some time dat I've hanged out on a sunday afternoon with my team mates. So Im glad dat we had one dis afternoon. I enjoyed the company, the food and the place =)

We went to Big Bens first for pies and main courses. Had a lil trouble navigating cos we werent familiar with opera estate. The pies were q ok ..for me lah. (I would prefer Don pie thou heh) The unique one was steak and guiness ( dad's choice of the day) but I felt the beef and cheese one was nicer. I had an extra serving of chicken and mushroom on my own while the rest had their main courses. The price was affordable for the main courses- ard the range of $10-$12 for their mains =) The pie was $3.50 and $5 for a meal. It's a quiet lil restaurant and i kinda liked the cosiness oso =)

After which, we made our way to the another cosy cafe, the cheesecake cafe. Im not exactly a cheesecake lover, so not too much cheesecakes for me. I liked the ambience thou..and of cos the company. Joesie helped me to reformat my phone's SD Card, so now it's working. Took the opportunity to tk a couple of picts =)



Our table of cheesecakes and drinks before we start =) The papers today happen to introduce the cheesecake cafe in the Life section and we tried their recommended cakes- rum and raisin cheesecake ( not too bad) and the peach cheesecake (personally not a fav)






Joesie's peach tea float had a huge scoop of ice-cream. "Wahhh.."





Dad was so relaxed dat he took off his shoes. I was a lil embarassed lah..cos there was a sign dat says "please do not put ur feet on the table or sofa" so dad said dat his was ok since he was putting his "foot" instead of his feet (duhhh..)

My dopod has been well-behaving till last wed.

The documents in my storage card literally disappeared suddenly! And after which Im unable to save any of the photos taken from the camera into the storage card. *puzzled*

Most likely it's a storage card problem *keeping my fingers crossed* Getting Joesie's help to solve the silly problem.

If not, I'll haf to visit the Dopod Service Center =(
