1 year anniversary of my blog

Merry Christmas to all~ Wish u all all the best in ur endeavours. After the weekend I'll post about my Christmas. Currently, I just checked out my blog and oh its been a year since I first started blogging. 23/12 being the date. Hmm I realised that the first 3 months I was really actively blogging then after that it was an "armstice" for quite a while several months here and there. A total of 57 posts = average of 1 in 1 week. I realise that I get "addicted" seemingly easy to games. A bad sign indeed. Its just that I probably try to spend much time on them. I also realised that I do work best when I planned to do it last min cos its done really fast compared to normal when i lack motivation and drive to do things quickly. No reason to ask me to do last min stuff though :D Moving back to Tuesday. I met my good friend for jogging after a month of not exercising since I last exercised with him. I met him at about 10:30. We jogged around the neighbourhood a total of about 4 km perhaps as estimated by my friend in 20 min. This would have been no problem when i was in sec 3 when i was at my fittest point of my life. The pace that was set was rather average actually. I tried to go for a slow pace but it was like walking speed. Was trying to train my stamina so just jogged at a better pace. We talked as we jogged so that I'll regulate my breathing but of course its more tiring as well. Towards the last km that we jogged I was huffing and talk between gasps of breaths. Evidently tired but probably hanging on. I mean whats the point of giving up so easily when one can push urself.(not too hard of course) Towards the final part few hundred metres we even stepped up the pace and the last 100m was supposed to sprint. I did not really did a proper sprint as I knew I was out of energy. I did sprint though not a fast sprint. At the end I just slowed to a stop as stopping straight away was not good. I felt abit nauseous but managed to make the feeling go away. He wanted to continue immediately but I just sat down and told him I was feeling a little dizzy and felt like i could faint. We then went to the shelter as the sun was baring down hot on us. I rested and enjoyed the breeze breathing deeply to get enough oxygen. After when I felt I was okay we tried a little stretching to see if I could continue. He decided against it being concerned about my welfare. I went to the lift and we chatted awhile and I wanted to go up cos I felt like sitting down/ too tired to stand. Went up and took water and a little food. Chatted with him for slightly over half an hour and then he had to go. Its really nice to have friends. I wonder what its like to have none at all. In this season of giving, I'll just like to say I treasure each and every one of u and Thank you for being who u are, a wonderful friend (:

Mid term break

Yoz, looks like I havent posted for rather long. Its just the first week of my hols in my 3 week break. Last week I just took my exams~ My main module and my best subject paper was a killer. Dont know what grade I'll get this time. Hope its not too bad. On the bright side though, my 2 other main modules was alrite. Hoping the good results here can compensate for the lousy 1 there~ This week I did some work.(helping my father) Data entry work. Typical office job I guess. It was alrite though. I was given a few days that I asked for to relax so I feel good about doing work. Had I not been given Friday and the weekend off I would definitely have dreaded work. See how much difference a happy worker makes :) Oh yea, this hols is a mid semester break which means there are projects and assignments to be done. Well only the Midyr and EOY are considered real breaks anyway. I saw the calendar the other day and I realised that Chinese New Year is in Feb. This means that I have to spend the short hols to study for my End of Year as the weightage is rather high thus making it exceedingly important. Anyway now's hols so its time to relax first. When sch reopens its time to concentrate for my final and most important quarter.

Ole,ole,ole!

Yesterday, washed, folded and hanged the clothes as usual. However, that was much more work to come. This was as my relatives were coming to our house that evening. Helped to cut vegetables, wash dishes, mop floor and various other things. Although some ppl came early it was almost done. After I was done with the work and it was time to eat. I felt really drained. Was quite tired physically for some reason. I ate 3 bowls of rice and 2 bowls of soup. (with ingredients of course) and felt really full after that so I didnt eat anymore. Had a really fun time with my counsin socialising and bonding and later on i did catch some action of the Liverpool vs Man U match. Well basically I was left all smiles and a good feeling left behind as Liverpool beat Man U 2-0. Today, I had to do some more dishes and bcos some food was leftover and today we cleared it up. So kinda sick of doing dishes though I'll be fine soon. Great that Liverpool are now back in the action again. If Liverpool had lost I could say that Liverpool would be playing less then second fiddle in the title race. For now, things look bright and hopeful.

Kindness exists

This week on one of the days I cam back home on bus I kinda overshot my bus stop by oversleeping. So I got down 2 bus stops after and walked back. As I took out my wallet 2 $0.50 coins dropped out. 1 dropped in the bus while the other rolled out onto the road. Being me, I did not want to block about 5 other ppl. So I just came out of the bus and waited for the bus to go to find the coin that dropped on the road. Surprisingly someone handed me back my coin. I didn't think that I'll get it back actually bcos normally ppl would bother only if u are looking and in this case I wasn't. Well so when I got back my money I could only mutter "Oh... Thanks". Well I managed to find the other coin on the road as well so it ended well. Yesterday when we were forming groups to do a business proposal, no one(including me) wanted to team up with a certain person. This was as ppl all feared his lacklustre attitude as he did not seem to care about his grades does leaving the workload to his group members as seen from the previous project. Things were going awry as other then that, a guy that rumoured to have liked the girl was being put in the same group much to the evident strong displeasure of the girl. The class leader solved the situation by being the "sacrifice". He and another classmate agreed to take the "reject" into his group. However it seemed that no one else wanted to fill up the last slot to make it 4 ppl in the group. I then joined them as I was the most familiar with them among the rest of us I felt and it would probably be better. Only my other friend and I were close to this "reject" and he said he was about to ask if he or I should join that group. But as I said I felt that this was for the best of all(including myself I think). Basically it allowed the other groups to reshuffle and also the girl managed to get a group without that guy although there was a sacrifice on her group's part as well as another group needed a leader in their group. Basically it was good to see kindness being displayed in my everyday life by the people around me. It was really a useful experience indeed.

Hol is over

My holidays are effectively over and what have I achieved during this 6 weeks? Academically i guess not alot. But I had lots of time to devote to other things such as music and Bible. Of course not to mention games as well as time to meet up with frens. The time has come for me to know how I fared in my mid yr. I hope not to many careless mistakes but other then that it'll be what I deserve. So no complains about that. Oh yea on the side note, Liverpool title challenge seems almost over so I guess I'll keep my expectations low. Recently I have joined a Bible class and learning about the prophecies is simply fascinating. Can't wait for each week's lesson. I have been trying to get 1 of my friend to take up Bible studies and I'll just say he is probably uncertain. More prayer would help and I'll leave it to the Holy Spirit to impress upon his heart. Well when poly starts I'll also try to ask another 1 or 2 frens to take up Bible study. I'll let God lead and To God be the Glory~

A Hectic Friday

Well yesterday I was rushing to go through the book that contained many hymns and praises as I was supposed to return it the next day. So I just went through 500 plus songs in a few hours. I was distracted and all but what I felt was the irrepressible feeling to practice piano and the pieces that I have learnt. I just played several minutes and that was all. But though I wished that I could have practiced more like perhaps 3 hours :P But anyway I am glad that I do have the fire in me to practice XD But I shall not celebrate too soon as it might only be temporary. So I've got to get myself going. Well my holidays are coming to an end in 8 days. Well it has kind of been long enough so I am willing to get back to school and hit the books. This does not stop me from keeping up my practice of piano or rather I should not let it. I was kinda anxious yesterday night as I did not know the pace I should play the song for worship. I handed it over to Olivine willingly when she offered her help as I was really unfamiliar with the song. However, the other song that very few ppl in the congregation knew how to sing I tried to play it and was pleased with my effort as I just did not know the pace but the pastor asked me to play faster and I managed to play while looking at him and answering him and then played the piece faster. I was rather impressed with how far I have come since I started playing for church. Of course I am not really good yet but still I am happy to be making progress and to be moving forward~

PIano lesson success

Well previously I mentioned that I had a deadline to fulfil by playing a piece up to standard and indeed I managed :) I want to just express that I felt really glad to have made it. But still I think more hard work needs to be put forth and I am in dire need of motivation. Well yesterday I went out to meet my 2 close frens for dinner. Things went as usual and we had fun. Both of them decided to compete who could drink faster. 1 drank plain water and the other drank 100 plus. Well it was half bottle and the person who drank 100 plus drank much faster. They said that water was too bland so he couldn't drink that fast. Soft drinks however taste sweet and that it was easier on the throat and to gulp down more and continuously. Oh yea, I have been learning a game called shogi. Its Japanese chess. I think some of u might know already. I have been learning for 50 odd days. Its more complicated then chess as when u capture the opponent pieces it becomes yours and u can drop the pieces on any empty square as yours as a move in the game. There is also promotion which is also very interesting. Well for a start you could just wikipedia to check out how to move the pieces basically and a rough idea of the game. If any of u are interested please let me know. I'll be more then willing to teach u. Well since this game is not popular here, we can play together online. So all those chess lovers please come and join me :))
