Friendster...

Was flipping thru today's ST... read about how there are so many bloggers out there nowadays... some seeking fame, while some others updating their friends on their lives...
Whatever the reason may be, i'm of the bloggers too... haha...
The cover was filled with pictures taken from several friendster pages... which made me realise i haven't been on friendster for a long long time. It was a page where i kinda found many many old classmates. Going thru their friendster pages, i could see where they are now, how they are, what they are doing etc...
Just now, once again, i went onto friendster. I haven't been updating my page for i dun know how many days, months or maybe even a year (???) Anyway, just updated my profile there... going thru the many pages once again, i realised many of my ex-classmates have gone overseas to further their studies... looking at their pictures... i can see how happy they are with their new friends, new environment. All havin' so much fun, travelling around and experiencing new stuff ! It kinda makes me wonder.... when i will have the courage to take that step forward to experience something exciting ...

Active lifestyle....

I wonder what would i be like now if i never signed up for gym or PT.... shheeeshhh

Work work work... go home, slack, eat, sleep... my gawd ... with a desk bound job... i think i'd really be a round pig by now...

Seems like my days are filled with activities... PTs are never fixed... but definitely twice a week. Fridays i will be in gym for Waihan's body balance class ^_^ and since i'm already there, some cardio workout...

Now, another added activity... badminton sessions with my colleagues... i joined them last week. Actually a session with 2 of my colleagues and their ex-colleague and friends... haha... so now i know a few more ppl :p My badminton skills have obviously deteriorated tremendously... which also led to horrible muscle aches that didn't help at all when i had PT with Narin again. It was a heavy hard session and my arms were "breaking" and back aching from badminton.... lol...
Going for another session tmr.... or rather later... haha... and i've yet to pack my bag.

So there goes 4 days of my week.. oh.. not forgetting guitar lesson every wed evening. so.. that leaves me 2 free nights.... and usually weekends... time for me to pig out on my bed !!!! lolx... SLEEEPPPP !!!!!!!!!

Seeing mingggyy update her blog with a pic of her office work area, i'm tempted to do so too. Not that it's so personalised or something to be proud off. It's to compare how horribly tight space is and how messy it is with all the files around and how there's NOTHING personalised except my PC desktop .... hahahhahhahaa

Goodbye Camry, Hello Civic

We just got our new car yesterday!! A black honda civic ^_^
Although our camry was still serving us well, somehow my dad decided to change car. Anyway, it has been about 5 years since we had that camry. The 2L car was big and comfy and steady... nice to drive, but hard to park. lol...
Our new civic... i think it's pretty cool !! but have to get used to driving it. Can't really see the side traffic well. Finally a BLACK car !!!! hehehe... I think my dad misses the big camry... this civic is smaller... but more stylish la.... :p Features wise, of course the camry gained upper hand. The automatic wiper, AC on/off etc...
I'm still trying to figure out how to use the gadgets inside d car... hehe... but i think really got generation gap la... i no nid to check manual also can set radio and clock... my parents were still trying to press every button to configure it :p
Dad's driving is pretty slow.... hahaha... i think new car... muz take care abit....wahahhahaha... i shall test drive it sooon....kekekee

My Gloves ^_^

Finally have time to search for the cam and take a few shots... haha... "S" gloves !!! lol... To prevent callousing when doing weights... hehe.... Thanks "mummy" !!!! :p

Nike training gloves

The fickle-minded me still have not decided what i want as my gift from my "mummy" trainer. The gift is for being able to lose a specific amount of weight in a time frame set by Narin ^.^
She said she'd get me a top... any top.... but dear adidas hasn't been coming up with any nice stuff. Everything is centred around world cup =.=''''
Nike my other fav sports brand... shoes look good.... but not the clothes... so... yeah.. i never decided.
But today.... after our usual "date" at the weighing scale, Narin said she bought something for me... i waited for her... and tada!! I've got training gloves !! =) lol... she got me a S size... hahaha... i think that's the ONLY thing i can fit in a S for nike stuff.... lolx... how fat can i get.... *rolls eyes*
Very happy with my gift... training with the gloves on now, will remind me of Narin (esp her torturous session!! hehe...)
Shall take a pic of it later when i have the time !
And i've pd the deposit for asiaworks. Now deciding if August or September is a better choice...

Asiaworks....

During training today, Narin suddenly popped the Q into my head again.
Actually, all along i have been thinking about it... She mentioned that it has almost been more than a month since she started asking me. She talked to me about it, then handed me a reg form which i happily took home and stared at it. Until the past weekend, i picked it up and started filling it up. haha... But i that was it. i stopped there...
Narin was sharing with me her experiences and how she felt she has changed. But she didn't want to tell me everything in case i decided to attend it. She said that if she blurt out too much, i wouldn't benefit wholly. Hmm... Honestly, i think she has indeed changed since the 1st time i saw her. And in some ways, we are pretty much the same (certain characteristics). Her life is much more fulfilled (from wad she told me) and perhaps the changed her makes me enjoy my training sessions even more.
Before she shared her stuff with me tonight, i always felt pressurized by her asking. Not that i wasn't pressured again tonight. I actually very much want to go coz i know i need a change. But of course there are restrictions. Narin told me to put away all my concerns hindering my thoughts and just decide if i wanna go. After that decision, then think abt the rest.
My hurdles.... finance and my mum !
I really hope to see a change in myself and my thinking when i've gone thru it. Celine jie jie reassured me that i will see a change... hehe ^.^
Well, the good thing about this is that, after the 5 days if u feel u didn't learn anything or it hasn't changed u for the better, a 100% refund is guaranteed. lolx

2. Drink water, drink water, drink water (drink loadz...)
3. Watch 10 mins of exercise a day change your face and your life (gym gym gym !!!)

5. Don't stop eating- Stop eating in front of the TV (trying my best... lolx)
6. Pick an idol and let that person motivate you (my idols are way too perfect in my eyes... )
7. Breathe consciously for 5 mins every day(nid to take note)
8. Take 30 mins of private time each day(private time... i do have them.. but nid to be a bit quieter)
9. Write yourself a love letter once a month(mission impossible)

好漂浮

Dunch understand why a person's mood can swing so drastically.

A moment ago, we were still talking amiciably. The next time i asked something, the answer was pretty much hostile. Hmm...
It may be due to work environment... the stress and frustration that person is feeling. But is there such a need to show it to other people when i just asked a very casual question. Sheeshh...

Weekend juz zoomed past again...

Let's see... My whole saturday was burnt with...
ok... i set my alarm at 10.30am... but it was 12pm before i jumped outta of bed. Had to meet Narin for PT at 1pm... lolx... so quickly washed up, changed, grabbed everything i needed, skipped "breakfast" (lolx) and opened the fridge to find hte remaining soya milk i had and gulped it down.
Dad was at work, i had to make my way to cali myself. haha... it was a mad rush... but i reached before 1pm ^.^ Saw Narin training another client and i was giggling coz she was doing hte abs machine Narin always forced on me... and i was just picturing myself in that machine and trying so hard to move my "unfit" body.
Well, she caught me laughing and told me i was in for hard work coz she wun be around for the next 6 days... haha... did a bit of cardio myself before started my session with her. It was hell... i had to do the stair climber and half bosu squats >.< I was still talking happily and laughing until the 2nd set... while doing the squats i was feeling faint :s And Narin STOPPED my training. She said she refused to train me on an empty tummy. So i was made to go to the juice bar to have my fav mango berlini smoothie plus a scoop of protein. Man... it tasted like shit... DISGUSTING !! that scoop of protein ruined my whole drink... i was swallowing it so hard and felt like puking... seriously.. it was BAD !!! Never again am i gonna have protein drinks again *bleah*
She had time for me to take the drink coz she didn't have a client after me... so i kinda had an extended session ^.^ Always enjoy her presence... haha... never failing to crack me up :p
Oh... she asked me about asiaworks again... and i wonder if it really is THAT GREAT. Coz she said she paid the deposit for me :s OMG...
Went to Bugis to walk abit .... didn't spend much money *grinz* reached home about 5pm... everyone was sleeping -.-''' I felt bored and changed and jumped into the pool. A day of exercise =) But the day ended with a durian session. haha... didn't eat THAT MUCH la... :p

Sunday... family lunch... no nid spend $$ again ^.^ hahaha... i'm getting so stingy nowadays. :p Then we went back to Bedok Ria to clean up... whole afternoon burnt that way... dinner at granny's place... den headed back home. So tired... thought could do some work before sleeping. But, suddenly mum felt a sharp pain in the lower abdominal and she went all weak and pale... it was pretty scary.... i took a really quick shower and we went to CGH A&E. Thankfully, nothing serious... the pain subsided while we were waiting for the damn doctor. So long !!! -.-''''
Kinda condemn CGH... only allow 1 visitor to accompany patient... that's fine as long as they take control and make sure all patients have 1 visitor only. -.-''' The wait was freakin' long and there was this guy sitting on the wheelchair who kept puking... and it was really loud and his family members had no common sense and pushed him so near to other patients -.-''''
We saw the nurse, she took down some "notes" and we had to wait again for the doctor. Everything is so computerised now. But it makes things quite slow actually. The doctor who attended to us was a young MO. -.-''' I thought he was CMI... think he's just 1 of those housemen around... He kept sniffing which made me thought he should be wearing a mask or he should be seeing a doc instead. He's knowledge was not fantastic... he had to keep going out to his senior -.-''' super unpro. And worse of all, his dustbin was not covered !!! Imagine all the germs flying around. OMG... I was busy observing and inspecting everywhere !!! lolx.... Thought hospitals should be hygenic. But not really though... And i wonder why housemen are placed in A&Es. Imagine a patient who's really sickly... and here u have doc who needs to keep seeking 2nd opinion. sheeshh.....

To sum up, it was a busy weekend... and it's back to work again *sobs*
