The time spent back here in Singapore has been great so far. Got to eat the yummy foods that I've missed out on and catch up with a few of my mates. Life.....
Wed: Finally, after such a long time, met up with my 'cheapo gang' friends (Mel, Val, Pammie, Char). Don't ask me abt our nickname for the grp...isn't it self-explainatory? Hahaa...yea! It was good to see them all again....still the same old gang that i've used to know. Went for dinner at some jap restaurant at Shaw Towers...pretty good food, but kind ex....but 50% off....that's why we were there! Hahahah...now does our nick name make any sense???? Not too sure why but the entire restaurant was so quiet!!!!! Weird. I mean there were quite a few customers dining there, but it was seriously like quiet cept for the sounds of chopsticks and spoons dipping in bowls...Well all was nearly quiet except for out group who were laughing away as if the entire place was ours. Can;t help it man, after such a long time...there's loads to catch up on. In fact, heard that even they themselves haven;t had much time to meet up coz of the busy shedules in uni. Even the 2 waiters serving us were trying to control their laughter. U could see that they wanted to laugh it out, but yea....poor them! It was a pretty funny sight coz they had to like keep their slient laughter discreet, and had to kinda bend down to hide it.
Thurs: Spent time with mummy....at the library. Hahaha! Lame! Yea, but it was actually my idea! Pretty boring now that I'm back. I mean it's fun and i'm having a good time and all...just that i guess most of my friends are either busy working or in NS or going on family holidays. So kinda hard to meet up for the moment. Needed to borrow some books to keep myself occupied.
I must admit that I've taken fancy to the Harry Potter books series. Not too sure why, I'm just very intrigued by the story. Ok, as much as i know that i've been kinda slow to realise this....come on man.....Wonder if the story was real and there was really such a thing and place called Hogwads....kinda wish i could be one of em...well at least the good witch for a start. Would be pretty interesting hey?
Fri: Met up with Nic at beach road for lunch. I really wanted to kill myself man! Ok so yea i was late like by a good 1/2 hour....ya if it was not for me forgetting how to take the bus there! Hey come on man...I;ve been away for close to a yr and freaking the bus routes have changed....damn it. I was so freakin irritated! It usually takes me 2 buses to get there but i had to take 4 bloody buses instead! I thought 82 went all the way there....but no, the stupid bus terminated at Serangoon Bus interchange instead! Crap! Had to walk all the way out to the main road to catch another bus....damn....took the wrong bus again....it took a different route! WHY WHY WHY did they have to change all the bus routes!!!!! Arghhhh! By then i really felt like just droppin off to take a cab, but u know...wanted to save money! hahahah! The weather was not making it any better for me....by the time i met up with nic, i looked as if i just ran 2.5km under 10mins!
Sdba....Went to join the junior blitzkraft team for their training! Been such a long time since i last rowed. Feels so different esp when u have no motivation and target to to aim for, rowing then becomes kinda 'meaningless' in a way. Not much comments abt the new team coz it was the first time that i've seen them. Afterall i would still admit that probably my own batch and the 2 senior batched b4 us were no doubt the better ones...heehee! (i'm just stating facts...no offence). Used back the same old boat that i used to train with....she's old...but still as good and fast on the water. As I said to nic...."it's not the boat that matters.....it's the person sitting in the boat that makes the difference" Ya, he looked at me in the disapproving, roll eyes kinda expression! Nothing new! Did sprint sets with them.... managed to keep up a lil' but stamina sure has dropped. But of coz...nic and i spent most of the time slacking in kallang basin....talking and recalling the wonderful training days.
Coach Cher asked me to lead them in some land training. Hehee...of coz the saddistic side emerge. Honestly to my fellow team mates, the amt of stuff they did never came close 2 how we trainined back then! Then again....every team would say that their team is better and stuff...! Real happy too coz Mr Lim the guy in-charge of SDBA offered me a job for the upcoming police race, either as linesman or timekeeper. I really like doing these jobs....it's fun, not that tiring, pretty slack, get tanner...get money and u get to enjoy the races and see cute dragon boat and kayaking hunks (now that's where the sun glasses comes into play!) Woohoo...!!!
Gonna go on a short trip up to Malaysia with a few of my team mates (weihao, nic and heng) next week. Hope we'll have a great time. Hopefully they treat me nice the whole trip....coz knowing them....sighz! Shall blog abt the trip when i'm back....
