Night cycling, 6th Dec 2008

2008-12-26T11:05:00.004+08:00

难得TSC 回来！ Let's go for night cycling!! Come to think of it, if only I could cycle for the 100km walk.... I also won't be able to complete the 100km lor.. haha..

Creatures of that night!

Gigantic centipede!

Comparing the centipede with a $2 note

Huge beetle in the middle of the road along ECP

Lightings of the night!

Let's take a walk 100KM!!!

2008-12-24T17:34:00.014+08:00

The Ding Dong Group

Four "Xiao Ding Dong" went for the 100km walk challenge last saturday for this MIND charity! (FYI, I skipped work to do this without my dad's knowledge! ha..) Din manage to walk the full 100km la, you think we really Ding Dong ah.. haha.. To cover this 100km needs at least 28 hours! Only managed to cover 30km (3rd check point at Bishan stadium) and we gave up!

First 10km, From Margaret drive --> Henderson road --> Telok Blangah --> Southern Ridge --> Hort park --> Kent Ridge park (First check point)
Second 10km, from kent ridge park --> north and south bouna vista road -- > holland road --> botanic garden --> sports physical education school (2nd check point)
Last 30km, from SPE --> lornie road --> maritchie park --> upper thomson road --> bishan sports stadium (3rd check point)

Am dying especially when it comes to the long and dusty Lornie road.
I would say, the entire thing is not very well organized, no road marshals along the way and no map given, no water point, no T-shirts, nothing!! Only a pathetic manual to tell us the directions. We shall walk on our own next time!

Warming up for the walk

STARTO!!

You can see we are far behind!!

Stairs and more stairs in the beginning of the walk!!

And meet my friend at southern ridge!

1st checkpoint at Kent Ridge Park

Finally reach botanical garden for a rest before heading to the 2nd check point at sports physical education.

And we saw this cool house on the way!! And this cute upgrading signage.

Did not manage to take any pictures of the 2nd check point. Too crowded and tired!!
Next is the killer!! Here we come, BISHAN!! Faint.....

But we were happy to end the walk at the 3rd check point， Bishan sports stadium after 8.4 hours walk! Bravo!! 我的脚要断了！！

I miss diving!!

2008-12-24T16:43:00.002+08:00

Here are some of the picturs from our last diving trip in Bali (30th July to 5th Aug 2008).. When will be our next diving trip?

Oops, never take pictures of my prezzie... To be continued.. haha...

The Formula for Failure and Success - by Jim Rohn

2008-11-03T18:29:00.001+08:00

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

Now why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters. On their own, our daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn't result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds.

If we have not bothered to read a single book in the past ninety days, this lack of discipline does not seem to have any immediate impact on our lives. And since nothing drastic happened to us after the first ninety days, we repeat this error in judgment for another ninety days, and on and on it goes. Why? Because it doesn't seem to matter. And herein lays the great danger. Far worse than not reading the books is not even realizing that it matters!

Those who eat too many of the wrong foods are contributing to a future health problem, but the joy of the moment overshadows the consequence of the future. It does not seem to matter. Those who smoke too much or drink too much go on making these poor choices year after year after year... because it doesn't seem to matter. But the pain and regret of these errors in judgment have only been delayed for a future time. Consequences are seldom instant; instead, they accumulate until the inevitable day of reckoning finally arrives and the price must be paid for our poor choices - choices that didn't seem to matter.

Failure's most dangerous attribute is its subtlety. In the short term those little errors don't seem to make any difference. We do not seem to be failing. In fact, sometimes these accumulated errors in judgment occur throughout a period of great joy and prosperity in our lives. Since nothing terrible happens to us, since there are no instant consequences to capture our attention, we simply drift from one day to the next, repeating the errors, thinking the wrong thoughts, listening to the wrong voices and making the wrong choices. The sky did not fall in on us yesterday; therefore the act was probably harmless. Since it seemed to have no measurable consequence, it is probably safe to repeat.

But we must become better educated than that! If at the end of the day when we made our first error in judgment the sky had fallen in on us, we undoubtedly would have taken immediate steps to ensure that the act would never be repeated again. Like the child who places his hand on a hot burner despite his parents' warnings, we would have had an instantaneous experience accompanying our error in judgment.

Unfortunately, failure does not shout out its warnings as our parents once did. This is why it is imperative to refine our philosophy in order to be able to make better choices. With a powerful, personal philosophy guiding our every step, we become more aware of our errors in judgment and more aware that each error really does matter.

Now here is the great news. Just like the formula for failure, the formula for success is easy to follow: its a few simple disciplines practiced every day. Now here is an interesting question worth pondering: How can we change the errors in the formula for failure into the disciplines required in the formula for success? The answer is by making the future an important part of our current philosophy.

Both success and failure involve future consequences, namely the inevitable rewards or unavoidable regrets resulting from past activities. If this is true, why don't more people take time to ponder the future? The answer is simple: They are so caught up in the current moment that it doesn't seem to matter. The problems and the rewards of today are so absorbing to some human beings that they never pause long enough to think about tomorrow.

But what if we did develop a new discipline to take just a few minutes every day to look a little further down the road? We would then be able to foresee the impending consequences of our current conduct. Armed with that valuable information, we would be able to take the necessary action to change our errors into new success-oriented disciplines. In other words, by disciplining ourselves to see the future in advance, we would be able to change our thinking, amend our errors and develop new habits to replace the old.

One of the exciting things about the formula for success - a few simple disciplines practiced every day - is that the results are almost immediate. As we voluntarily change daily errors into daily disciplines, we experience positive results in a very short period of time. When we change our diet, our health improves noticeably in just a few weeks. When we start exercising, we feel a new vitality almost immediately. When we begin reading, we experience a growing awareness and a new level of self-confidence. Whatever new discipline we begin to practice daily will produce exciting results that will drive us to become even better at developing new disciplines. The real magic of new disciplines is that they will cause us to amend our thinking. If we were to start today to read the books, keep a journal, attend the classes, listen more and observe more, then today would be the first day of a new life leading to a better future. If we were to start today to try harder, and in every way make a conscious and consistent effort to change subtle and deadly errors into constructive and rewarding disciplines, we would never again settle for a life of existence - not once we have tasted the fruits of a life of substance!

To Your Success, Jim Rohn

Oops, sorry, was up on the tress and no pictures taken....

Stoned!!

2008-09-22T15:31:00.004+08:00

Just when I was about to sleep after watching 康熙 (almost 2 am) , I heard my dad talking on the phone with someone and not long after, I heard him knocking on my door asking for any nearby 24 hours clinic!

Scared the hell out of me!! What happen?! 原来其中一个中国木工肚子痛！还痛得在地上打滚儿！ (must read and sound like cheena.. haha..)

So my dad quickly get me to check out if there is any nearby 24hrs clinic while he fetched him. I found out that there is one 24hrs clinic at clementi ave 3 but after seeing his situation, (pain until cannot sit and stand straight, and his face was really pale!) we decided to send him to NUH A&E.

Wah, FYI, to visit a private clinic in the middle of the night costs $82 excluding medication and tests! Hospital costs $190, luckily after subsidy is $90.

The doc had to observe him for one to two hours after the injection before deciding to admit him. Poor us just got to wait for him outside but this gave me and my dad a chance to chat about work. I told him about my difficulties in this line as I do not have the knowledge at all and my uncle is basically too busy and dunno how to guide me. I can say my dad is a very understanding person, he knows I am facing difficulties with my work and my uncle, so he encouraged me to go take some relevant courses which I had been researching on. We also talked about our workers and how to manage them.... I can say I felt great after talking to him and it was the first time we discussed about serious work for so long after my coming 4 months here. This discussion also made the time pass faster and the next moment, the doc called for us to tell us that they needed to admit him for further observation and suspect he was suffering from 盲肠炎. So after the paper work, we head home to catch some sleep. By the time we reached home, was already 6 a.m! God, and I need to get up in another 2 hours time.

Well, as expected, I couldn't wake up in time. By the time I woke up was already 9 a.m! Am late.. I tot my dad must be still sleeping but to my surprise, he was out before me! And he didn't wake me up for work. Maybe he wanted to let me have more sleep.. So am very stoned now! zzzzz.......

Notebook....

2008-09-22T01:38:00.002+08:00

Hmm... now have my own notebook, dunno is it good or bad... haha...
now every night so late then sleep!! And regret the next morning!
Now still watching 康熙 and while waiting for the page to load, I came here to post something! haha... Ok, i think i really need to control myself...
New notebook, new eye bags and darker circles!!
Go zzzzz.....

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

2008-09-02T22:53:00.000+08:00

You See the World Through Blue Colored Glasses

You live your life with tranquility. You have faith that things will work themselves out with time.

You judge all your interactions through the lens of hope. You try to get all the facts before forming your opinion.

You face challenges with wisdom. You know that all bad things pass, and you have the confidence to see problems through.

You see love as the utmost expression of trust. Your relationships tend to be peaceful and stable.

At your worst, you can be cool, melancholy, and detached. You sometimes have to step back from emotionally charged situations.

You are at your happiest when you are able to reflect and relax.

What Color Glasses Do You See the World Through?

8th Sept - Lucern (Switzerland)

2006-11-17T15:59:00.000+08:00

A travelling day today! Been in n out of the trains to get to Lucern. From Avignon to Lyon to Geneve then to Lucern!! What a long journey to our destination. Tts why we got to wake up real early this morning(The sky still dark lor!!)to start our new adventure by walking all the way from our hostel to the city in darkness! No bus service that early so got to walk!! We took less than half an hour to reach and finally get to put down our heavy backpacks!!

Stopped over at Lyon followed by Geneve train station before we reached Lucern and each stop we only haf about half an hour interval. So we make use of the interval to go out in pairs to explore outside the station.

Not long after we board the train from Lyon to Geneve, we realised that the cabin that we were in goes to another place n not Lucern! We need to change cabin!! Yes, the train in Europe works this way, not all the cabins in the same train goes to the same destinations! Luckily we met a nice uncle n a nice conductor.. If not we will be lost!! haha...

I love Switzerland! This place gives me a very beautiful n peaceful impression. But I do haf friends commented that is a boring place. Maybe if i stay longer i will get bored too. Anyway, I enjoyed my two days in Switzerland!

After settling our accomodation (with the help of nic's hospitality friend) we walked to the hostel. Along the way we kept commenting that the water there is so crystal clear, the swans and ducks jus add on to the beauty of the river! Moreover the weather there is so much better compared to France. Much cooler and air fresher!! At least no urine smell like France! waahahaha...

The "Touristenhotel Luzern" that we stayed is in a pretty good condition n location. Everywhere is within walking distance and so we started walking around the city.

http://www.luzern.org/leisure-001-02-en.htm

We walked around the water tower, the town hall, the chapel bridge (try to find our names on the bridge if u go there next time! Oops...), stopped by an ice cream store for some good ice creams, then proceed to find the Lion Monument. Got quite a shock to see such a huge lion stature. All along thought it was kind of small from the pictures I saw in the Internet. haha... And was very amused by a couple trying to take funny pictures with the lion (trying to touch the lion from far!!)We also joked about the lion's facial expression look like TCC who likes to frown, the body too small for the lion's head..and also the curly hair of the lion! haha....

We later created an embarrassment. Mistaken a resturant that sells cheap fish n chips! Later we found out that is actually the pub down the resturant selling the it. Since we cannot afford the expensive food there, we decided to leave even though we were being served to a table already! Told the waiter tt we dun have money to eat and quickly make our way down! wahahaha.....

Later in the night we tried to find our way to the Musseg Wall. We thought that the door to enter the wall was locked after certain hours and decided to go back the next day....Never expect tt the door is actually ...... To be continued!

7th Sept - Avignon (France)

2006-11-15T13:15:00.000+08:00

After a good night sleep, (except for nic), we set off to go to another city of France, Avignon. (Dunno how to pronounce in the first place). And our first incident in the morning was we were heading to the wrong train station! haha... but luckily we realised it in time n managed to catch the train to Avignon.

We settled down at the local YMCA hostel, cheap n good n clean, jus tt is a bit far from the city. Neverthless, we walked to the city after settling down. Discover lots of nice pretty flowers n interesting but disgusting insects on the way.

Finally got oursleves at The Popes' Palace. It is a very big n fantastic building from outside but actually nothing much interests me inside. Each of us was given something like a cordless phone (is there a name for it?) There are numbers everywhere inside the palace indicating which number to press on the phone n we can hear about the history or stories about the place. St Benezet Bridge was the next destination. Nothing much as well but a very nice place to take a good look at scenery around us. This city is definitely a much quieter place compared to Paris. N more greeneries which I like! http://www.palais-des-papes.com/anglais/index.html

For your information, Macdonald's there is not cheap! One small hamburger n a milk shake costs me ard SDG4. And yes, tts my dinner for the day.

Basically, we had walked for the whole day, n more walking the next morning! By the time we reached our hostel, I can feel that my legs were already not mine! But well, is still worth it, if not for the walking, we will not realised that the moon from overseas is so much bigger than it is in Singapore! waaahaha...

6th Sept - Paris

2006-11-09T18:07:00.001+08:00

We started off by walking all the way carrying our backpacks to the our hostel from the train station. First day ma, battery still full bar! wahahaha.....
After settling down at the "not so good" condition hostel with a unqiue bathroom inside, we went out to explore this "high class" city of France.

It was sooo hot that day that we dun really have the mood to walk around! Tot it was supposed to be autumn??!!! Nevertheless, we still visited quite a few places like the notre dame, sacre coeur and a park... Along the way, we tried our very best to run into shades whenever we could!

The best part was, we left our empty water bottles in the hostel n ended up buying a 1.5 litre bottle of mineral water at SGD7 near notre dame!! This is the most expensive mineral water I had ever bot!

Later part of the evening, we took the metro to Nord station to meet up with nic. She took the euro star all the way from london to meet us at paris! At the train station, I went to the most expensive public toilet! SGD1!! My god!? What can be worse than peeing in the public?! At that moment, how I can wish I am a guy so tt I can pee at some quiet corner! No wonder Paris stinks! Cos the public toilet is god damn expensive!

Anyway, we were supposed to meet nic at the tourist information counter but found out that there were so many of them in the station! Since we were early, we decided to go to the gate where she will be coming out from to wait for her. Cun believe that we can still miss her with 3 pairs of eyes! hahaha.. luckily we still managed to meet up! Feels so great to be together esp touring the world together!!

5th Sept 2006 - I am flying to Paris

2006-11-09T16:57:00.001+08:00

In order not to apply for another day leave (already applied 11 days of annual leave for this europe trip!), I had decided to go to work this day since my flight is in the evening. Of cos, no mood to work... Was so excited about the trip and kept thinking what else did I miss out in my backpack!
Once the clock struck 5, I rushed back home to do my final packing! Showered and head towards the airport to meet TCC n TCL! So excited!!
When we were going into the departure gate, turning back to wave goodbye to my parents, I suddenly got the feeling of going overseas to study! hahahaha.....
We stopped over at Bangkok for an hour to pick more passangers and then another 10 plus hours of flight to finland then to Paris.... Yes, dun ask me how come so many transits.... cheap flight (but still nt cheap lor!) so jus gt to bear with it... Well, at least we get to walk around in Bangkok airport and Helsinki city.
Finally we touched down at Paris airport.... when we were out of the airport, straight away we looked blur (already told ourselves not to look blur to attract bad pple!!) hahaha..... But it was so messy there n we did not know which way to go... hahaha.... Ok, so we found our way to the RER station, board the train and start our adventure in Europe!

Am I really that lucky??

2006-10-06T15:16:00.000+08:00

I had never been so lucky before.
Won the second prize from the table draw, a casio watch and won another 2nd prize from the grand lucky draw, $1000 cash during my company d&d!!
I was overjoyed!! I had never won anything in any lucky draws before and this time I won two prizes at the same time!

The $1000 came in just in time to susidise my europe trip.. not so heart pain.. but in the end I used the money to get myself a Louis Vuitton bag at paris... wahahaha... is damn cheap there..ok, not damn cheap but much cheaper than Singapore. Since I m helping my friends to buy I must get one for myself too! Must be fair mah..kekeke..... And so there goes my $1000 cash prize...

I dunno am I the only one having this stupid feeling that when you gain something, you will sure to lose something which right now I am pretty afraid of what am I going to lose. So sometimes, I would rather not gain anything so that I won't lose anything......

He replied!

2006-10-04T18:45:00.000+08:00

Yes, is him! He has not left the company yet! I couldn't believe that his mail appears in my mailbox and I thought I was dreamimg at the moment. Thank goodness I have not lost him yet. I know we cannot be like last time. Everything has changed but I really treasure and appreciate whatever he had done for me. Now, I dun wish to think too much.. Just hope that he can still keep in touch with me and be happy.

Happy Birthday to you!

2006-10-02T16:22:00.000+08:00

Time flies!! Last year birthday, I did not manage to celebrate with you as you were in Sydney, however, I did give you a call and I still recalled that we were both very excited about my visit to Sydney.

This year, I hope you will have a great birthday too and get to celebrate with your love ones. I am sorry that I had lost all your contacts and feel very upset for not able to hear from you again. I m not a person who knows how to express my feelings and thoughts. But now, I can do nothing anymore but wish you all the best....

May all your wishes come true and be happy always..
Happy Birthday my dear....

When will be my next holiday?!

2006-09-27T14:46:00.000+08:00

Am I too greedy? Or simply hate to stay in singapore??
Ok, I dun hate singapore but I get bored so easily in Singapore. Everyday is so routine and bored....
No more motivation or nothing for me to look forward to now after my europe trip.
Got to plan for another holiday soon but who will help me with the vitamin M ($$$)??!!
Ok, go buy 4D now and hope to strike a big trip! Hhmm... where shall I go next?? Sipadan for diving? USA? Or the rest of Europe?? wahahaha......
Hey, dun tell me to stop dreaming!!
No harm to dream right?!

I am back....

2006-09-25T11:52:00.000+08:00

Yes, I am back to singapore.
Dunno y that i felt a bit lost when I returned to Singapore.
The feeling is jus wired.. Somehow not used to live in Singapore again...
We no longer need to find hostel to stay over the night... No more rushing for trains, no more walkings, no more sightseeing......
The worst part is that I still have to think for a while of how to get to work the next day...hahaha....
Maybe I dun feel like coming back home.

I miss you very much during this trip and suddenly felt so scared that I will not be able to locate you anymore as I had lost my mobile phone recently and you had mentioned that you are going home for good.
There is no way I can contact you now. Sent you an email but you did not reply, maybe you no longer use your company's email and right now I have no other means of contacting you.
You did not look for me when u were in Singapore for the last time around july.
Maybe you did not come eventually or maybe you were too tight up with the meetings or maybe you jus simply dun wan to contact me anymore.
I guess is fine... or rather I will be fine with it eventually which I dunno how long will I take.
No matter where you are now, just hope that things are fine with you and I will always put you in my heart.
Lastly, thank you for giving me all the sweet moments.

Fly fly fly....

2006-08-26T10:41:00.000+08:00

Yes, I am flying again! And this time is not a one two hour flight.. Is about 13 hours of flight!
Yes, is somewhere far and is my first ever longest flight!
Yes, is Europe!!! wahahaha... so excited about it and yet a bit scared cos I had never travel so far and so long.
It will be a two week holiday with my good friends!! All thanks to Nic tt she had been given a chance to go York for conference if not I dunno how long will my Europe trip will ever come true....
Hope it will be a wonderful and adventurous trip! (but nt too adventurous tt we need to mess up our itinerary) kekeke...
My europe trip includes France, Switzerland,Netherlands,Belgium...
Yes, I am coming!!!!

好马真的不吃回头草吗？

2006-07-14T16:06:00.000+08:00

当初一切一切的分手原因现在对我来说已不重要了，不需解释也别自责。我已不再怪你或恨你。也许我已看开了吧也或许我已经变了吧，对爱情和伴侣也改观了吧。

你说我一点都没变，我说你错了。我可是360度的转变。你的离开是晴天霹雳的但也让我成长许多。这也应该谢谢你。你的离开让我学会了不再依赖，学会了在这现实的社会生存也见识了不少东西。

不再接受你不是你的错，也不是因为我不原谅你而是一切都不能像以前一样了，感觉也不对了。我现在很喜欢目前的生活方式，不想要也没必要去改变。

从没想过你会再联络我，以为我们连做朋友的缘分也没有了。但现在请给我一个机会做你的好朋友，我想这样会更好吧。

很感谢你曾经给我的一切。和你在一起的时光是美好的，我会把这些美好的回忆永远放在心上。我真心的祝福你也希望你能找到你要的幸福。

~~时间果然能冲淡一切~~

Climb & Dive in Krabi!

2006-06-22T12:12:00.000+08:00

Climb and Dive, What more can I ask for??!!
I left my heart in Krabi!
Will go back again next year!

PS: This is my first time diving one to one with the dive master!! hohoh... so lucky!

Diving in Perhantian

2006-06-01T17:57:00.000+08:00

Have stopped diving for more than a year! And yes, finally we gals managed to go diving at Perhantian this may!! So excited about it!! Took a half day leave to pack up and get ready to go!!

The bus journey was long but definitely worth the trip! But maybe to Adrain and Daniel, it was too "bright" a trip cos they were sitting right in front of the coach, just behind the driver and got blinded by the headlights of the oncoming cars! hahaha... Poor thing, Adrain still need to sleep in his sunglasses! So cool! hahaha....As usual, the bus is freezing cold but everyone survived!

The boat ride to the beach made me more and more excited! This means that we are diving real soon! Although we did not dive on the first day, we went to explore the place and even went jungle trekking!

Dun be mistaken, is not really a jungle lar! haha... most memorable part of the trekking is the big fat mozzies, and the big, fat, smelly SHIT in the middle of the path!! haha... From far, already can smell it man! But after passing that shit, the path led us to a very nice beach! We were so excited to jump into the water to snorkel that HN n nee went back to get the masks and fins for us! hahaha.... In the end, it was too hot for me to go down n join them.

This is the chalet we stayed in, kind of run down n dirty. When I saw the condition of the room, I thought to myself that I will meditate for the whole night and dare not sleep on the bed! But in the end, I slept like a pig every night! hahaha....

Yes!! first dive of the trip!! So excited!! Was already very excited about it when we started trying out the sizes of the wet suit, getting the fins and bc the previous day. But this time we are really going out to the sea n dive! hahaha....Now come to think of it, I almost forget wat I saw in each dive but each dive is really awesome although the visibility was not too good at that period. But I guess all of us enjoyed each individual dive! Oh, I did a stupid mistake during one of the dives. I actually forgot my weight belt!! Ayooii, and it was i think the 7th dive of the trip! How can I still forget my weight belt!! haha...

One new thing creature I learnt from this trip. Is the nudibranch. I realised that it a kind of sea slug. They are so beautiful!

Oh yah, dun forget our star gazing session after dinner every night! Felt so great when everyone of us lie down together (in the middle of the beach blocking the way!) and count the numbers of shooting stars!一个人看到不算！ hahaha.... And our synchronized swimming! Oh my god! Think the passers-by must be thinking that we are crazy! And our "night diving"! hahaha.... saw 手臂大, nemo, shrimps, crabs and lots of small fishes swimming.

The whole trip was memorable. I guess is even more memorable for Adrain and Daniel as it will be their last dive trip before NS.

Sedili Loop

2006-05-05T00:26:00.000+08:00

Wow! Really no time to blog about this awesome cycling trip although I had come back from this trip for almost 3 weeks!

Was a bit scared before I decided to go cos it is not the usual desaru cycling trip. Is a 3 days, 215km cycling trip. From Woodlands custom to Kota Tinggi, Sedili Loop then to Desaru. When I went for the briefing before the trip I almost fainted! haha... Did not really dare to take up this challenge in the first place because I had not been cycling lately. Moreover my cycling skill is so lousy, but the thought of having support vehicle, I finally agreed to join the trip! The most I jump into the vehicle and enjoy the air con! haha...

Was really nervous and excited when crossing the Woodlands custom. The custom was conjested with so many cars and we were actually cycling pass them! Finally managed to pass the custom safely but this is just the beginning! All the way were fast passing vehicles and we actually need to change lane!! From the farmost left lane all the way to the right lane! OMG, I was kind of worried whether I can make it. Luckily I managed to pass all the lanes by frightening the drivers with my lousy cycling skills that they had no choice but to give way to me! hahahaha..
Sigh, my cycling skills really failed me. I nearly murdered our team sweeper!! I lost my balance when he was cycling so close beside me and I fell onto his side. Nearly pushed him out to the main road whereby there were so many passing by cars! Luckily he was alert enought to push me back so that I can fell safely on my left side. Phew! Only a few scatches on my left knee but I was really relieved that no serious injuries had happened! Then it started pouring not long after the accident! We were all drenched! I could hardly see the road in front of me, all I wanted to do is to keep on cycling till I saw somebody stopped by the side for shelter but there were no shelter n noone was stopping! So I just had to continue and use all my energy to ride faster, trying to catch up with the rest! The first day ended with the waterfall and fireflies tour. Cool!!

The 2nd day started with a nice breakfast at the hawker center just beside our hotel. Soon after tt we set off to Sedili! Butt started to ache but still bearable. The journey started riding along the sand patches with lots of big trucks passing us.. OMG, stress again. I hated the trucks as they let out a lot of polluted air from their exhuast pipe! Dunno how much carbon monoxide had I inhaled by cycling behind them.. The weather got hotter as the day went by and there were more slopes! But I was more fimiliar with the bike then n so no accident this time! Phew..
Lunch near a jetty whereby we took the boat to the Kampong. Very beautiful place, near the sea that can see the horizon!!

All the tiredness from the long cycling journey were forgotten when I reached there. The atmosphere was even more lightened up by the coconut plucking incident by the "Xiao Er". He even got himself cut while climbing up the coconut tree. Ayooi... Really must call 1900.... to support him!

Nice scenery, nice swimming pool, nice watermelon, nice wind, nice kampong ride (except for the rain again n the falling coconuts caused by the strong wind while we were on our way back from the kampong ride).

Hey, we did some stunts too! All thanks to Caili! haha.. She spotted the nice reddish looking jumbos on the tree! Cannot resist the temptation, I actually sat on nee's shoulder to pluck them!! hahaha... Pls call 1900.... to support us!
That night ended late all becos of the mahjong session! haha....

Was kind of disappointed that we did not manage to see the sunrise the next morning but that means we got to sleep more. haha... This day will be the last day of the trip n also the longest distance that we need to cover. Weather was very hot at first but later part of the day was much cooler. Upslopes, downslopes, up n down, up then down again... Oh my.... My butt started to complain. Legs started to complain too! But but.. we were coming to an end of the journey.. I tell myself not to give up! Pedal n pedal... Finally came to a fimiliar place. Thats desaru!! Although my last trip to desaru was a year ago but somehow I do remember the road! And that means a killer last 12km is ahead waiting for me to conquer before we can reach the ferry terminal!

Fianlly last few km n it started to rain again! Tot that I will not get wet but in the end, we were still caught in the rain. Yes! We all made it!!!

Thank you Lai Wan, Xueling (aka 1900), Daniel (aka Daniel Chui), Felix, Ah Boon, Felix, Ah Wee (aka Xiao Er) and last but not least u gals for making this trip so enjoyable and memorable!

Dun TTM!

2006-04-02T23:55:00.000+08:00

I had deleted his contact on my msn list long time ago cos I dun wish to see him online and cun talk to him. But that day he msn me!
I was very shock. A very short conversation but is enough to shock me.
We had been "msning" almost everyday since then.
Updating each other's life. Pouring out his sorrows to me. Telling me his job, telling him wat activities I am into now....etc
I felt great cos I never thought that I can tok to him again. And I guess I will be able to meet up with him soon. Just hope tt I won't do anything silly when I get to see him (esp crying!!)

Sometimes his conversation brought up the past and really make me upset n happy at the same time.
Y does he want to bring up the past? Just to create a conversation or he is missing the days we were together?? or it means other things?? or wat??
Ayooi, i start to TTM!!!
Ok, STOP TTM!! Just enjoy the moment!

I survived!

2006-03-23T09:03:00.000+08:00

Ok, I had survived and back alive after being terribly sick for one week plus and on medical leave for 6 days!

And yes, i am looking forward to this Sedili Loop cycling trip in April!

http://www.terraoutdoors.com/destn_my_SediliLoop.php

Tonsilitics!!

2006-03-16T11:06:00.000+08:00

Ok, is not a very bad sore throat, is tonsilitics tt is causing my sharp pain in the throat and high fever. The first doctor I went thought is jus a normal sore throat but I ended up with high fever at night and had to see another doctor the next day.
In total got three day MC to rest at home. Sigh... I seldom get sick but once sick will be a serious one.
Just hope tt my fever will go down cos it really cause my whole body aching! Terrible!!

Finally I am down

2006-03-15T12:20:00.000+08:00

After working for consecutive 20 days with no weekends, finally i cannot take it anymore and down with a very bad sore throat and high fever.

Now in the office waiting to go home and rest. Was already on medical leave yesterday but seems like one day of rest is not enough. My fever is up again and now need to go home.

Will take care.
Bye

I am going to Krabi again!!

2006-03-01T22:18:00.000+08:00

Yes! At least something to look forward to! I had booked my air ticket to go Krabi again for climbing on the 10th May to 14th May! (Was there during the same period last year)

You all must be asking why am I booking so early? Thats becos is the long holiday weekend! (vesak day on fri) And the price of tiger airways ticket is rising each day! My friend managed to get $10 cheaper air fare than me within one day! So being a kiasu singaporean, I shall not wait anymore! hehe..

So this means that I have to get back to the walls soon to trian up! Yes, suddenly feel so excited abt it! Just can't wait to get back to the wall. The last climbing was in Sydney last november. Oh my.. time really flies and I shall not jus waste my time. I must go back to those activities which I used to love!

Gals, when is our next diving trip?!! How about Bintan trip?? And cycling trip?? Ok, I dun care, tcc n nee is going to organise another cycling trip for me! Be it a night cycling or desaru or even somewhere further!! hahaha....

Oh yah, anybody keen to join me for the coming Krabi trip?? Quickly book the tickets now byt tiger airways. We can settle the accomodation later. Most likely will be staying at the same resort I stayed last year. Is at the railey beach call the Sand n Sea Resort. (Cheap n good) If you gals r not keen in climbing, we can go diving too!! Is very near phi phi island n I m sure we can find a diving provider to bring us out to the underwater world!!

What life am I having now??

2006-02-19T23:08:00.000+08:00

Had not been blogging for almost two months. Firstly, not in the mood to blog lately.
Secondly, my life is so dead n bored or rather upside down that I have nothing to blog about!

Well, it has been a long time I have a nice long break. Did not really celebrate christmas and new year. ok, i did went for a short trip to Shanghai with my family during Chinese New Year but I guess thats just not enough to take a break from my daily hectic life.

Had not been climbing and roller blading after my elbow injury. So what have I been doing lately? Other than work is still work! More programmes, higher targets and more stress and pressure! Other than drink after work I really dunno how I can to release my stress. However, come to think of it, I actually chose to bury myself in work than to think of other things.

Think i need a change of my lifstyle now. I know is not healthy to carry on like that. I thought I can go cycling to desaru with u gals, but was held up at work! Sigh.. maybe next time. Gals, u must wait for me. I promise that i can make it the next time if you all are going ahead next week without me.

I really cun wait to go back to the life i had last time! Climbing, roller bladding, wake boarding, cycling.....

Sorry... Guess I shall stop blogging for the time being......

2005-12-19T22:35:00.000+08:00

What kind of food are you?

2005-10-24T22:23:00.000+08:00

You Are Chinese Food

Exotic yet ordinary.People think they've had enough of you, but they're back for more in an hour.

What Kind of Food Are You?

Waiting.......

2005-10-07T23:19:00.000+08:00

I hate this kind of feeling and this kind of feeling is coming back to haunt me...

中秋节快乐！

2005-09-20T13:00:00.000+08:00

星期六，约了几个同事打羽毛球！打得还很起敬，边打边笑。发现这种活动能增进同事间的关系。平时在工作时，各都忙各的，也只有在午餐那短短的一小时一起吃饭聊天。不过也只是说些工作上的事。

打完羽毛球，我们到了其中一个同事的家里聚餐，庆祝中秋节。我好久都没有庆祝中秋节了。可能是觉得提灯笼是小孩玩的东西吧。不过，这次有机会和同事们的小孩一起玩，所以也有了借口当回小孩！我这位同事也召集了她的邻居小孩们一起到她家楼下附近的公园提灯笼，点蜡烛，当然也少不了荧光棒和仙女棒！大家尤其是小朋友们都玩乐了!

玩了一身的汗，大家都累了。尤其是我，打完羽毛球，还到了那个公园慢跑，玩了一整天，不累才怪！不过，今年的中秋节还过得很开心！

My first night cycling!!

2005-09-13T11:16:00.000+08:00

Another good and memorable experience after the desaru and pulau ubin cycling trip. This trip is definitely much easier than desaru, maybe because this time we cycled at night, so much cooler and also lesser slopes as compared to desaru.. except at sentosa! haha..

Actually, for this whole trip (including desaru), I am the follower.. haha.. as usual.. maybe I am not good at singapore roads, and also maybe I am already very worried about my cycling skills, so not very involved in the planning of routes... One major reason also because my two other kakis have much more experience than me which makes me feel so at ease with them. They really take good care of me, and the strategy of me cycling between two of them makes me feel so protected!! haha.. Thanks pals..

Ok, let me recall, the whole journey started from clementi. I took bus 105 to Long's place to collect his bike from his brother..Waited for almost 20 mins for the stupid bus to arrive and so I was late.This is not the end, I alighted at the wrong bus stop.. it should be the 2nd bus stop after IMM and I actually alight at the 1st bus stop.. hahaha.. and guess wat, before tt I heard from TCC that something is wrong with his bike's pedal and he cannot find his light.. OMG, my cycling skill already not very good, now hear that his pedal got prblem, I became more gan chiong! hahaha...

When I managed to get the bike from his bro, I tried to practice a bit before I went off to look for TCC. I rode very slowly on the pavement as I am not very fimiliar with the road there but the route is much shorter then I expected. Fianlly met up with TCC safely.. hehe..and we proceed on to meet up with nee.

We cycled for quite a while before we stopped at yishun to eat the supposedly famous (Channel U recommendation somemore) Chompang nasi lemak. I also feel that the nasi lemak so so only, maybe we were not hungry, or rather I am quite full when we ate the nasi lemak.. but still dun find it so special tt it can attract such a big crowd.

After the nasi lemak, we continued our journey..Suddenly heard a big bang, dunno is it something came off from the bike or I hit something on the floor.. haha.. Then later the pedal. The pedal eventually failed me. The whole pedal actually came off!! Oh dear, how am I going to continue to cycle with just one pedal? We managed to screw it in but it only lasted for a while and it came off again.. sigh.. bo bian, wanted to try our luck of borrowing a spanner at some petrol kiosk but none of them have it.. ayyoii... so no choice, i will try to screw it in whenever we get to stop at each traffic junction. haha... Thank goodness , nee thought of going back to her place to get the spanner!

Seletar reservoir, my first time there. Very interesting sights, can actually see all kinds of ah bengs and ah lians and their modified cars.. even saw ice-cream man selling ice cream there. Was too full that moment, if not i would love to have some ice-cream.. hehe.. Oh yah, and the ulu ulu road and the big houses there.. Cannot imagine that there are such places in singapore..

Esplanande, the road near ther was blocked for the next day sheares run and tot that we can have the whole road to ourselves.. but dun be happy so soon. They actually blocked us too.. We took some pictures there to show that "I was here"..haha.. and continue our journey to sentosa.

Sentosa, of cos not the first time there but was my first time cycling in sentosa. OMG, the slope nearly kills me man!! (but not as bad as desaru and I did not cry this time.. hahaha...) And my gears.. haha.. really super noisy man.. think all the birds and creatures were woken up by my noisy gears!! haha...Too bad we did not managed to see sunrise and the cannot make it 天涯海角 haha.. but I had a great time
eating outside 7-11 and playing with 仙女棒.

Shacked, totally shacked after the we cycled out from sentosa.. thought the rain will make me more awake but still I am very sleepy.. Eyelid almost want to close when we were at West Coast Park mcdonalds.. Then nee suddenly syas Yio Chu Kang.. I was like... eerr.. ok, actually dun mind going but I scared I cannot tahan.. Eventually we decided to go home..

On my way to Long's house to return his bike, I suddenly felt that I am on my own again.. The feeling was like how I started the journey. Ride alone to meet TCC then the overnight journey again.. haha..

Back home, showered and immediately slept from 11am to 7pm, just in time for dinner then slept again from 1am till next morning 9am.. now my palms are still sore from grabbing too hard onto the not so comfortable handle.. haha..

Anyway, still have to thanks Long for lending me his "not so good" bike.. haha.. I also want to thanks nee and TCC for this enjoyable 80km, 12 hours cycling trip around Singapore..

Busy busy busy....

2005-09-01T16:59:00.000+08:00

It has ben a long time since I last blog. Been very busy these days! Preview talks, workshops and roadshows!! This is crazy man! But no choice. Just hope everything runs smoothly and end soon. Weekends are burnt because of roadshows but in a way good, to create more awareness and generate more revenue hopefully.

Recently, like nothing much activities going on. Less climbing, as my friends are all out of town, less outings (maybe all of them are busy, including myself). Nothing to look forward to. Sian..

Gals, lets plan something! I cannot wait to go back to Desaru, Ubin, diving....etc..

快要发霉了！！

天不作美

2005-08-05T10:10:00.000+08:00

原本拿了假要和超人妮一起到圣淘沙去日光浴的。怎么知道老天不作美，下起了倾盆大雨！
好矛盾，因为下雨能让我好舒服好舒服的呆在被窝里睡觉但心却想要出去。
后来，收到了超人妮的简讯说取消，我又不由自主地倒在床上睡着了。
好久没有睡到下午。感觉真好。不过起来后不知要做什么，觉得好无聊哦！
扭开了电视机，没什么好看的。小妹又霸占了电脑，只好不停的转播道。
雨终于停了！想出门可又不知要到那儿去。既然雨停了就去游个永吧，但会冷死哦。
所以决定到楼下的大水沟旁跑步。好久没有跑步了，脚差点软掉。不过运动后的感觉真好。
吃饱了晚餐，约了两个旧同事到 holland village 喝两杯。
有说有笑，这样就过了一天。

I got this pierced in JB, went to JB with a friend and while shopping I decided to have a second hole on my right ear. keke... of cos, is not as painful as my naval pierce and it recovers much faster. mmm.. where shall I pierce next?! sounds sadist right?!!! hahaha....

First photo from my phone.

2005-07-30T10:11:00.000+08:00

Hehe... Took the photos from my phone with a colleague during lunch. Wanted to post other pictures from my phone but my office pc won't allow me to do it. I dunno is it because I m a IT moroon or the pc does not allow me to upload any pictures from my phone.. anyway, i decided to send the photos from my phone to my email. Waste $$!

Slacker, I shall join you.

2005-07-28T10:29:00.000+08:00

对不起

2005-07-27T12:21:00.000+08:00

对不起，我还是不能接受你。
不是你的问题，不是你不好，是我们不适合吧。
无法勾通，无法有共同嗜好，所以无法接受你。
不要难过，不要失望，不要自责。
这真的不是你的问题。
你会找到一个更适合你的伴侣。
我只能祝你幸福，快乐。
最后，除了抱歉，还想对你说声谢谢。
谢谢你的用心，你的细心，你的鼓励。
希望你能幸福。

Kelong Fishing

2005-07-19T17:42:00.000+08:00

Went to one of the kelong in Malaysia for fishing 2 week ago. A different feeling from last time. The previous trip was with my family and Kit. This time, I went with my ex colleague's friends. It was just an overnight trip. Quite a relax and enjoyable one. Our group caught quite a number of fishes, got inedible ones like small puffer fish, catfish and edible ones like grouper (dunno how to spell) and eel! I caught the eel!! At first I thought it was a snake and got a shock! haha...
I did not bring my eel cos dunno how to prepare it. keke...
Overall, a short but enjoyable trip.

So happy to see you back and the happiest thing is that all 8 of us are back together last night! The beautiful 8! hahaha..... but still the S7 club cos nic is the only one out of the single club! haha.....

Though it was just a simple and short gethering, I am really glad that all of us get to sit down and chat. Too bad everyone got to work the next day if not I dun think I would want to leave so early! We got so much to update, so much to talk about.

Well, we will have more chance in the future and look forward to evry outing with u gals!

Naval pierce

2005-06-29T16:30:00.000+08:00

Till now, I still dun believe that I have the guts to pierce my belly! hahaha....It was a painful, exciting and adventurous experience.

Thought of getting a tattoo or some piercing on my body but no guts to do that. Just think think only.Did not really have serious thought about it actually.

Was shopping around at far east shopping center that sat, then my friend suddenly dragged me into this shop and made the decision for me to pierce my belly! hahaha...hey, is it your belly or mine?!! hahaha.....Anyway, i still went ahead. So chose a blue flower crystal design and there I went into the room, laid down feeling a little nervous. The guy who is going to make a hole in my body wore his gloves, made a mark on my belly with a marker... put some antiseptic solution....then use a clip to clip my belly (dunno wats the purpose of that)... then he used a needle (a thick one!! hahaha...) and pierce it thru!! oh my god!! I dared not look at how he did it but I can feel the needle thru my flesh. Not very painful at the moment but is the after effect that made me feel very uncomfortable and painful.

Well, I had it pierced for almost a month already so already get used to have an additional accessories on my body. kekeke....

Once I get a new phone with camera, shall post it here!
敬请期待！哈哈哈。。。。

My first overseas climb!

2005-06-14T11:13:00.000+08:00

Finally, decided to blog on my Krabi climbing trip after so long.

During the Vesak Day long weekend, me and my other 6 friends (supposed to have 7 but one cannot make it last minute) packed up and started our adventure!

It did not started well, cos I was almost late for my flight! Supposed to wake up and meet my neighbour at 5.30am then the rest 6.15am at the airport and guess wat! I woke up at 6.15! Got a shock and quickly flew to the airport! Luckily, I did not miss the flight. Was feeling kind of upset but when we reached Phuket, I was too looking forward to our next few days climb that I had no more hard feelings.

The flight took about an hour half from singapore to phuket, then we transferred to take a mini van from the airport to Krabi which took about 2 hours, then from there we took a long tail boat to railey beach and tts another 40 minutes. Wow! within a day, we took all sorts of transports! We had covered the air, land and sea in one day!! hahaha....When we reached there, we were all tired from the journey and decided not to climb but just bumping at the beach, while some did some shopping!

Yes, first day of the climb! We decided to go to this wall face called the North Diamond Cave! It was a very hot day and we got to climb and belay under the big sun It was really scorching hot!! So my first time climbing on limstone. mmm...feels different from granite at bukit timah diary farm, rougher and spikier and some are better grip than granite. I was very impressed when i saw the local climbers there climbed with flip flops! My goodness, they climbed up n down effortlessly and me sweating like hell, using watever energy i had to climb to the top!

The next day was more interesting, cos we needed to do some hiking to get to the place we wanted to climb, and also we got to do some caving and repel down from the top of the bats cave! So exciting! We climbed at Excher Wall, the climb were not too bad. One of my friends had a long and scary fall when she was leading this route and injured her leg. Poor gal, she could not climb for the rest of the trip.

After the climb, we went into this dark and smelly bats cave. Up we climb in the bats cave using the steep and long ladders! Finally we reached the top and the view of the beach up there was so beautiful! We were very high! From there, we repelled down to the ground and started climbing the route again. That day was a tired day, had a sumptous dinner with wine, few rounds of poker card game in one of my friend's room, had some baileys (alcohol again!) after that all of us had a good night rest!

Last day of the trip, but we still managed to have a short climb in the morning at this wall named firewall. We took a longtail boat out to another beach called Tongsai Beach to scale this wall. Wow, the highest wall I had ever climbed, is about 25 metres high! This wall is very fun cos it looks like a tube, so we were like climbing in the tube. While I was scaling this tube, my friend was leading this route and got stuck, he couldn't go any further, so decided to give up and leave his eacape ring there. Think everyone was tired after all the climbs. All of us enjoyed the trip very much and claimed that this trip is too short!

Next year, we will be going back and be prepared to stay for one week to scale all the walls!

I am sorry, mum.

2005-05-09T17:07:00.000+08:00

I never celebrate mother's day this year.
Sorry mum, for being unfillial.
Neither did I bring you out for meal, nor did I buy you a present.
I am just lazy and dun feel like cracking my brain to buy anything or plan anything to celebrate mother's day.
I know I never do my part as a good daughter.
Always, not at home and coming back home late. Making you worried about me.
But mum, rest assure that I am alright. I know what I am doing out there.
You need not to be too KC, the more you KC, the more I dun wish to tell you what I do outside.
Right now, I just want to enjoy my life to the fullest.
You can say that I am playful but I can only do all the things I like when I am still young.
Well, maybe these are just excuses, I am just simply lazy to put in effort to show any care and concern to this family.
I will try my best to be a good daughter.

他向我表白了

2005-05-09T13:39:00.000+08:00

我其实早就感觉的到你对我有好感，
但你没说些什么。。。
不过你的语言与举动，我能感觉的到。
终于，你向我表白了，
但我不知如何回应。
不是对你没有好感，
只不过我还没有心理准备去接受你。
可能我需要多一点点的时间与勇气吧，
也可能我还放不下一些东西吧。
不想欺骗我自己，更不想欺骗你。
不知你愿意等我多久，
但我现在真的还是接受不了你对我的情意，
我只能说声谢谢你。

Ubin Cycling..Still as fun!

2005-05-08T19:35:00.000+08:00

Still very high in cycling and so we decided to cycle at Ubin.
Luckily, the weather is not very hot, it actually rained when we were at Check Jawa.
Is amazing to see so many sea anemones lying on the sea bed and the feeling of touching them is so funny.....
At the quarry, we saw lots of small fishes and big tortises. We fed them with the biscuits and can really see how big the tortises' mouth are!
Is more amazing to see a tortise crawling on this patch of black field away from the water. We turn it over n capture how it turn itself over with its head n long neck!
It pee on hong when she tried to carry it to somewhere! haha...hong, who ask u to disturb him!
Some of the upslopes are really challenging and we got to come down and push the bike! But we had conquered the Desaru!! Wat is this man!! hahaha.......
Well, though is just a short cycle journey, I enjoyed very much and hope to go for the 180KM challenge!

我喜欢的人和喜欢我的人

2005-05-07T10:14:00.000+08:00

我喜欢的人不喜欢我，
我不喜欢的人竟然喜欢我，
我喜欢的人喜欢我的朋友，
而我的朋友不喜欢他，。
为什么感情的东西总是那么的复杂？
为什么不能简单一点？
是不是因为生活太过乏味，所以老天喜欢这样子捉弄人，
让生活增添点波折与不测？
我是否能说服自己慢慢地接受我不喜欢的人，
或是慢慢地让我喜欢的人喜欢我？
很讨厌现在的感觉，这种混乱的感觉。
应该什么都不想，就让一切顺其自然吧.

我做到了！

2005-05-03T18:25:00.000+08:00

我做到了！我真的做到了！好感动，好感人，好想哭！
不能放弃，继续往前，快到了，加油！
我骑单车的技术并不好，总是歪来歪去，好几次在上山坡的时候很想下来推车，
但我还是咬紧牙根逼自己继续往前进！
脚再怎么酸疼，身子再怎么累，
肚子再怎么饿，天气再怎么炎热，
路程再怎么远，山坡在怎么斜，
屁股再怎么疼痛，
我还是不顾一切，一直骑下去！
“淑盈，加油！快到了！小心，后面有车！”
这一句句的鼓励让我更不能放弃。
不能让鼓励我的朋友失望也不能让自己失望！
终于，我忍不住哭了！
并不是难过而哭！是感动而哭了！
感谢你们并没有抛下我，
感谢你们在路旁不断地鼓励我！
感谢你们让我在这旅程玩得这么开心！
好怀念当时的情景，好想再一次骑着单车遨游，
虽然我可怜的屁股会抗议但我真的好想再骑着单车遨游！
希望下次我会做的更好！
真的谢谢你们！

My two First Time

2005-04-22T20:50:00.000+08:00

2 weeks ago, an early sat morning, I had tennis lesson for the first time with a few friends. I am not a ball game person but it was indeed a good experience and I had enjoyed myself a lot. But it was only an hour session, when I just get to the peak of the game, we had to stop.
Later in the noon, my first attempt for wake boarding! Is not as easy as it seems and after a few big mouthful of the damn dirty, black, salty water, I managed to get my butt out of the water! Although i did not manage to stand up, I am already very satisfied with my first trial.
Went to wake board again the next following week with fang and nic. Finally I stood up! However, I could only stand up for a few seconds and there I fell back into the water!
Everyone were so impressed by nic. She stood up during her first trial!! wow!!! even the instructor was impressed by it! Good one nic, although u said that it was just lucky.. keke...
We shall go again next time!

The Doll and the White Rose

2005-04-15T13:29:00.000+08:00

I hurried into the local department store to grab some last minute Christmas gifts. I looked at all the people and grumbled to myself. I would be in here forever and I just had so much to do. Christmas was beginning to become such a drag. I kinda wished that I could just sleep through Christmas. But I hurried the best I could through all the people to the toy department. Once again I kind of mumbled to myself at the prices of all these toys. And wondered if the grandkids would even play with them. I found myself in the doll aisle.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and he held her so gently. I could not seem to help myself. I just kept looking over at the little boy and wondered who the doll was for. I watched him turn to a woman and he called his aunt by name and said, "Are you sure I don't have enough money" She replied a bit impatiently, "You know that you don't have enough money for it. The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere that she had to go get some other things and would be back in a few minutes. And then she left the aisle.

The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I ask the boy who the doll was for. He said, "it is the doll my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it." I told him that maybe Santa was going to bring it. He said "No, Santa can't go where my sister is" "I have to give the doll to my Momma to take to her" I ask him where his sister was. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and said "She has gone to be with Jesus" My Daddy says that Momma is going to have to go be with her.

My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy looked at me again and said, "I told my Daddy to tell Momma not to go yet. I told him to tell her to wait till I got back from the store" Then he ask me if I wanted to see his picture. I told him I would love to. He pulled out some pictures he'd had taken at the front of the store. He said "I want my Momma to take this with her so she don't ever forget me." "I love my Momma so very much and I wish she did not have to leave me" "But Daddy says she will need to be with my sister." I saw that the little boy had lowered his head and had grown so very quiet.

While he was not looking I reached into my purse and pulled out a hand full of bills. I ask the little boy, "Shall we count that money one more time?" He grew excited and said , "Yes, I just know it has to be enough" So I slipped my money in with his and we began to count it. And of course it was plenty for the doll. He softly said, "Thank you Jesus for giving me enough money." Then the boy said I just ask Jesus to give me enough money to buy this doll so Momma can take it with her to give to my sister." "And he heard my prayer" "I wanted to ask him for enough to buy my Momma a white rose, but I didn't ask him, but he gave me enough to buy the doll and a rose for my Momma." "She loves white roses so very very much"

In a few minutes the aunt came back and I wheeled my cart away. I could not keep from thinking about the little boy as I finished my shopping in a totally different spirit than when I had started. And I kept remembering a story I had seen in the newspaper several days earlier about a drunk driver hitting a car and killing a little girl and the Mother was in serious condition. The family was deciding on whether to remove the life support. Now surely this little boy did not belong with that story.

Two days later I read in the paper where the family had disconnected the life support and the young woman had died. I could not forget the little boy and just kept wondering if the two were somehow connected.

Later that day, I could not help myself and I went out and bought some white roses and took them to the funeral home where the young woman was. And there she was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the little boy in the store. I left there in tears, my life changed forever. The love that little boy had for his little sister and his mother was over whelming. And in a split second a drunk driver had ripped the life of that little boy to pieces

Why am I afraid to be happy?

2005-04-07T19:09:00.000+08:00

I dunno why, I just cun let myself be too happy during the trip. I dunno wats holding me back to be happy.
Is it because if I am too happy now, I will be very upset the very next moment.
I hate the feeling of pain, pain in the heart is unbearable. Thats y i dare not be too happy??
Let go...is it so difficult to let go? Even till now??
Have I have a serious thought of my future?
Wat do I want to achieve in 5 years time? Where will I be by then? Wat are my plans?
I dun wish to think, I hate to think, I am lazy to think. Can I not think?

Shower with Good Blessing

2005-04-07T18:45:00.000+08:00

Swing back to reality. Good times passed so rapidly. But the good times and sweet memories at Bintan are unforgettable.
Everyone of us were showered with good blessing at Bintan and I made a wish as well at that moment. Wish all of us will be blessed with happiness!
I don't know why but we were very quiet at the beach, sitting around the candle light. Maybe we were all tired, maybe our mind were occupied with some thoughts, maybe..... I wanted to cry at that moment...was it because I am happy or sad? I dunno and I dun want to know... But I felt very comfortable when the tiny rain drops hit on my face and I am very grateful to all of you for being by my side. Thank you friends!

Check out the animal in you!

You are extremely realistic in that you try to build a steady business and safe family.
You have great will power, and are very strong woman.
You can manipulate men tactfully.
You can serve them well to make them successful in life, and you will not easily give up half way. Nevertheless, if it is about yourself, you tend to be loose, selfish and indecisive.
You can make objective decisions, and will not be influenced by emotions.
While you place importance on harmony of the people, you do not forget to subtly promoting yourself.
Therefore, you tend to have wide contact of people from early age.
You possess both dark and light side of personality, and that character comes out according to situation.
You can feel sorry for something, but you tend to be obstinate and not able to adapt to people around you.
You have rather strong maternal feelings towards men, and tend to take too much care of them. This makes other people feel being interfered. So you should be careful.
After getting married, you will work hard on cores, and become a good wife.

Roller Blading, My New Challenge!

2005-03-25T01:08:00.000+08:00

Went to East Coast Park last sunday to try out a new sport. Yes, roller blading!
Scary at first but soon get the hang of it however, i still dared not blad too fast! haha...
I still recalled that I sprained my leg once during secondary school while roller blading, maybe because the shoes are too big for me, so i hurt myself. Did not pick up this sport until last sunday.
My colleague is so steady, she doesn't even need to lift up her legs to blad.
I fell twice that day and both falls happened when I was going up the hump! I tend to slow down whenever I reached a hump and so there isn't enough speed to go up the hump, and so I "gos tan" and fell!! so ma lu and pai seh!! hahaha...but guess I learn from the hard way!
Did an imulsive thing, I actually bought a pair of blads that day!! Cannot resist the cheap offer and I decided to buy it! kekeke...did not regret but look forward to blading now so that I can practice more! But need to get guards first! kekeke....

Night hike over! Wats next?

2005-03-07T15:08:00.000+08:00

It started with 15 people gathering at macritchie for the night hiking on the 5th March at abt 6:15pm. All were so excited about the night hiking ( think all the TTMG were but dunno the rest). And so we set off.

I was so busy entertaining different people on the way as I had asked different groups of friends to join the hike. So did not really join the TTMG and sam in the first place only towards the end of the journey. However I still feel the most comforatble with you gals!! Cos we are still the most entertaining and funny bunch of us (including our new da shi xiong!!) !!!! hahaha....

Really surprised tt there are still so many of them joining the Bukit Timah trail after the 10km walk at macritchie but in the end only left with the original bunch of us which I felt much better cos I had the same feeling as yollev... dun want to hear any complains from the rest.
I am even more surprised when she decided to go ahead with us even when her friend had decided to give up. I tot she will simply leave together with her friend. Actually I dun really want her staying with us cos I am scared that she may not be able to take it not in terms of physically but mentally!!!

She was so tensed up throughout the whole journey and I am tired of telling her to relax and enjoy the walk and blar blar blar......... but luckily she decided to go off with the majority. I VB.

The rest of the journey was so dark and exciting. I find my legs so tired and started to slow down but you gals were so fast ahead and so I put the tiredness behind me, continuing to catch up with you all.....The sense of achievement when we were at the summit was so great! The breeze, the stars, the jokes, the laughter, the music, the sweat, the smell........the feeling is just so great.

Really concussed when having dinner!! I felt like dying and no energy to eat my dinner though I am damn hungry!! Must salute to the 2 ladies who walked home from Bukit Timah!!

So night hike is over! Wats next?? Bintan trip!!!! We are coming!!!!

Sleepy........

2005-03-04T16:16:00.000+08:00

Feeling so sleepy now....Maybe because I just had a heavy lunch. Yawn.....!!!
I shouldn't be eating so much!! My company had a simple body check up just now and guess wat!!?? My body fat result is 27.6 which is 0.6 higher than the normal range!! So sad!!
Been excercising so much but still have so much fat in me!! Guess i really have to cut down on oily food and watch my diet!! hahaha......
After the checkup, quite a number of my colleagues sign up for the full body checkup from the provider. The total package costs about $270! So expensive but I decided to go ahead with it. Never had any full body check up before. Had the thought of going for quite sometimes but no chance and time, since this provider is willing to send their nurses and facilities to my office, i dun mind going through it. Just want to make sure that my engine is still in tip top condition. hahaha.....just to play safe lar.....

真的希望你没事

2005-03-03T15:45:00.000+08:00

我知道你无法控制自己，
无法控制自己的心情，
无法控制自己的举动，
但我希望你能够振作起来，
坚强起来。

我渴望你回来，
回到从前的你，
回到我们的身边，
但我知道你需要时间。

我期望你找到，
找到自我，
找到真爱，
但我知道你需要勇气。

我祝你幸福，
永远幸福，
比我幸福。

2005-03-03T15:33:00.000+08:00

Is it a must to bring insect repellent? Bring to kill insects?? (To prevent mosquitoes bites and insects!!)

I think I better bring along a scissors so that I can quickly cut my pants off if any insects or snakes crawl up my pants. (_ _///)

I am scared of monkeys, will they attack us? (BTW monkeys will be sleeping at night)

What kind of bag to bring?? (Back pack lor) I dun have leh ...how?? (mmm...go buy lor...)

hahaha....I VB. But really funny!!!

(_ _///)

Can you accept a guy who is much younger than you??

2005-02-28T18:48:00.000+08:00

Going to knock off at 7. Now just waiting for the clock to strike 7. My mind is totally blank now. Maybe have not recovered from staying out last night.
Back to east coast park yesterday afternoon to cycle after watching sunrise early in the morning. I also dunno where did I get the energy from to do tt, but i just dun want to stay at home. So decided to go cycling with my colleagues.
One of colleagues brought a guy with her and this guy is 5 years younger than her. I dunno whether are they already an item. They seemed very close but my colleague is still attached with a boyfriend (by the way also 5 years younger then her)!!. I personally find that their relationship is very unhealthy. Like some underground relationship.
The worst is that she sort of like using me as an excuse to go out with this guy. Whenever she goes out with him, she will tell her boyfriend that she is going out with me...., wats got to do with me.....
I dun think age is a problem but doing something unfaithful behind one's back is not acceptable.
Anyway, it is her life and is none of my business.

Working on sunday!

2005-02-27T08:32:00.000+08:00

In the office on a sunday morning!! Sain....Come in after a sunrise session with my 3 good friends at east coast. Luckily we stayed for a little while longer at east coast and managed to see the sun rise. KKCC celebrated tcc's birthday. What a lovely morning but I still need to come to work. Luckily I have my 3 friends with me here in the office. They just finished their big business in my office toilet!! chou chou!!! hahaha.....
E... late again...sigh...dunno wat to say.
