hectic week, i did meet up with roy on tuesday, but it was with nita too, and we went to some mini jap restaurant at far east where i had unagi rice... settled and upgraded my major illness coverage to 100k...

lessons are getting a little more tiring, as tuesday was tiring with the navigation, which wasn't easy as i'm a little slow with the slide rule, the lack of f-math and understanding vector diagrams playing a big part...

wednesday saw us having met lessons, which were quite dry, but luckily the lecturer was nice, and he was nice to talk to as well...
went out with my parents to lo hei at ichiban boshi, since it's the last day of cny as well... and, i met nita as well, and the dirty woman was re-wearing her clothes she wore on tuesday, heh heh.. which made her post this reply..

anyways, thursday was spent going home to relax and friday i met up with sdu chatters, after which i went to skate at ecp, and didn't last long because i ended up being so exhausted... then on saturday i decided to just hide away and slept the day away till the evening, and i went to nus guild house to attend my nephew's baby shower, then joined the people at club when they went for their dinner...

got 2 exams coming up this week.. wargh...

skated every evening except monday the past week, the inspiration to skate isn't back yet, but i'm working on it, it's been tough, having reached a training plateau, trying out the screw, wheelings, new runs which aren't as easy as learning everything in the past..
friday saw me going out with a few people from sdu, it was impromptu, but i finally managed to meet my primary sch classmate after we lost contact after leaving primary school for different secondary schools, we sat beside each other and had fights initially, which progressed to friendship, and then a lot of giggles and laughter in class, as we spoke of "dynamite", resulting in the teachers not letting us sit next to each other because we were so disruptive in class... we've both grown, but we're not very different as we are from primary sch, still having things to talk about... also met up with strawberry egg, and sapphirenite, both also from sdu, and had a fun time chatting and sharing muddy mud pie and tiramisu at coffee club... after the whole thing i sent the 2 ladies back, while junde drove home, then i went down to ecp to meet isaac, andrew and cheen, weiling and weiting came along.. and we skated for awhile before heading back to my place to relax. i fell asleep while they were watching the chronicles of riddick.

i woke up earlier on saturday and went down to triax at big splash, been awhile since i caught up with edwin, graham and the rest of the people who form the zig zaggeurs, who i forsee becoming the leading force in slalom in singapore, they've got lots of talent, but not enough time or grounds to train properly at, and perhaps not enough resources. weiling and weiting came down and got themselves new skates, and hopefully they'll be able to pick up skating soon and go skating with the rest of the guys instead of just hanging around at the ecp rink while the guys fool around..

i went down to WWS on sunday and was tasked to prepare a ppt presentation for grassroots leaders at a CDC to further improve the public awareness of wws. wws stands for waterways watch singapore, and they are an environmental group that patrols the waterways of singapore, from kallang, on boats, to monitor rubbish along the singapore, kallang, rochor rivers... wws was featured in the news recently when a minister paid a surprise visit to wws and now the grassroots are sitting up and taking note of the society.. more information can be found at WWS website and i'm also in charge of upgrading the website with a cms... haven't gotten down to it but i guess i should, given that the society has suddenly seen a marked increase in interest from the public and also from the media, with CNA looking to do a feature on the marina barrage, and a sub feature on WWS

i went out with ying on monday, she was so busy at work that we were supposed to meet at 645 at ps but i picked her up from ttsh at 650... we had dinner at cartel and caught ray at 830.. the show was good... it chronicled the life of ray charles robinson pretty well, and showed how he overcame adversity to become an icon of music as we know today... ying was kind of affected by the movie too, and i hope she will become stronger, as what doesn't break you just makes you stronger...
had an AIS exam in the morning, which turned out pretty well, but i have to read instructions really carefully, as i kept thinking i did 5 questions out of 6 when i only did 4... manged to do a last one before handing up..

didn't get enough sleep for tuesday, luckily the lessons for tuesday involved using a slide rule computer which is pretty interesting and hands on, instead of just sitting down and listening...

and the rest of the week should be pretty peachy, meeting quite a few people during the week, roy on tuesday, phyllis on wed, radio academy outing on thur, some sdu event with angel81 on friday, and maybe i'll go look for ying after that, or get the boys and girls to go skating, since it's their term break this week...

and i need more sleep.. as usual :P

lack of updates



sorry to my loyal readers, the VERY VERY few of you who do read... but it's been a period where i wasn't motivated to post anything, and the reason for that is simply because life is so uninteresting!

my weeks are spent waking up at 720, picking up classmates at bedok at 8, reaching singapore aviation academy at 825, attending lessons, coming home, having dinner, the occasional skate after dinner... and tv..

and with a simple paragraph i've summarised every weekday of my week... as i'm attending a course, we don't get to chit chat much during lessons, and most of the talk is mundane, insignificant and meant to destress...

but recently my classmates have decided on the ride back from saa to bedok mrt, we should have some topic we can talk about, i usually listen, and the topics revolve around money making, how to earn more, couplehood, situations couples could be in, finding the ideal mate..

a few questions were posted today, with rather unsatisfactory answers, from some of my classmates/colleagues, but here they are...

1. if you were to go travelling with a very good friend of the opposite sex, just the two of you, would you share a room, share a bed?

2. what if you woke up next to a very good friend of the opposite sex, not remembering what had transposed the night before, and to spice things up, with you both in various states of undress, would you confess to your partner/spouse?

answer me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE



7th day of the lunar new year, "ren ri"

14th feb


watched two movies in a row! what a happening valentine's day...

with an exam in the morning, a movie in between classes, dinner at home, and another movie at night..

and it was made all the more happening because i didn't feel so indifferent for once, and i actually reacted, although not positively to some external stimulus....

how interesting it is when you can feel something again

it's not just for couples, for you unattached ones, rejoice in being single and having friends to celebrate it with!

HAPPY SPRING FESTIVAL!


and may you have lots and lots of hangovers!

Sunday, February 06, 2005

the whole week has been a breeze as we went through lessons and i had an aerodynamics exam on tuesday... i scored 90/100 for the exam... yippie... the week has been great with many sms-es and phone calls.. but bad news came about the end of the week... it was painful listening over the phone, reading the blog entries...

most of the days i'd finish work and go back home to go online in order to be on msn before the workday ends, and after that i'll try to go skating, since i've decided i don't want to skate on saturdays anymore... too many people at ecp and i can't slalom in peace when the kids come disturb you when you're on the cones... and i'm too *kind* to scold them and ask the kids to please $%&^ off...

met up with cindy for dinner on saturday... had a great chat and extremly filling dinner... then i joined the people back in soc for a steamboat reunion... ate again and i really feel like exploding...

take care of yourself lene, hopefully everything will be settled soon and you'll feel better soon...
