Morn run

hven't been out on a morn run for ages, ever since I sprained my ankle end Feb....today, managed to ged myself out of bed n headed out for a run at 5am, did 10km....it feels gd to be running in e wee hrs of e morn when half e world is still sleeping. Been addicted to Mayday's Superman, e song's reallie gd! Spent a few hrs in e lib dg up my stuff but once i ged hm, i ged pretty zonked out, been slacking till nw...sigh, i am so counterproductive at nite.

On a brighter note, it's bdae wk tis wk...celebrating jj n Juan's bdae on Thursday n Yt's one on Sat...all 3 of my dearie gerfrens....wish them all early/belated happy 23rd bdae!

BINGE!

I binged today!! sinful sinful....gorged on choco ice cream tt din even taste tt gd cuz it's low fat n then honey stars with milk...I swear i'm nw hooked on honey stars, i used to go for those healthy, whole grain, muesli horse food kinda cereal...well, i still do,besides honey stars, i oso bought e healthy wholegrain kind..I'm jus so sad tt my fave Post can't be found animore...the Strawberry Honey Bunches of Oats!! My top fave n next, Banana Nut Crunch, wadever happened? They were e divas in the cereal world n nw they're ousted??!

Headed to lib to do my work in e morn but haha, once i reached sch, i headed for canteen instead, wante dot jus ged a juice bt then ended up eating an early lunch, i'm reallie a pig today..left pretty early then bumped into Derek at e entrance, haz...he muz live in e lib cuz i seldom go to e lib n it seems like everytime i go there, i'll see him, hoho... So gt hm n had a 3 hr snoozie...gt up, binged, felt guilty then headed out for a supposedly 10km run bt aiyah, in e end, e mind was willing bt not e legs so onli managed 8km n nw, my body, as usual is emitting heat, tis always happens after a long run...

Better ged back to my AI essay nw...CiaoZ!

At the losing end..

heard on radio...there's tis debate btw the female n male DJs....the female DJ's for the assertion tt to gers, love is a large part of their life whilst it's jus one small piece for guys...tt's why gers tend to be hurt more easily.

Yeah, i totally agree n i think tt sucks...tt's why i think lesbianism may nt be such a bad thing afterall.

Surreal..

yeah, nw i noe why everyone says tt MFA's tough to ged in...I TOTALLY believe them nw, after tt whole day affair being stuck in e freezing chambers of MFA, frm 9 till 630pm...bonded so well with e other 2 in my grp, we were grumbling thr out e day n managed to make our way out at e end of everything, immensely relieved tt it was all over.

It's reallie pretty hard to make a gd impression when one is basically shivering n chattering thr'out e interview...He remarked causally.." u seem pretty cold.." I wanted to scream at him, chattering teeth n all.." Ain't tt an understatement??!!" They're trying to turn e ministry into some kind atemperate ctry jus to make e diplomats of those 1st world ctries feel more at world, i see...But yeah, i screwed up many rounds of e entire process, haha....but i still felt gd cuz i had completed tis marathon like interview, i noe i wun ged thr to e third round but yeah, i value tis experience, pretty unique n POW like...

Was jus stoned out when i reached hm, hven't been dg any cardio for e past 2 days, intend to squeeze in some rope skippign today, gt my qn settled, bks borrowed, notes scribbled, gonna start actual work on my AI essay ltr this morn, someone's stressing me out BIG time..

Woots!

Yipee...gd mood, gd mood..no more lessons for e wk, gg to hit e lib today, see Gordon for consultation n basically jus work my ass off for my AI essay. I've always sorta like dg his essays so hopefully tis one will turn out well too, bt sigh..i think i've had a reallie slow start.

received MFA call yest, n shit la...e 2nd round is on thurs, tml!! n it's a whole day affair, heard frm Kev tt time tt we'll be split into grps n present or sthg lidat...gawd, i'm totally sick of presentations oredi.... Runnin wise, pretty gd...Sunday: 8 km, Monday: 4 km, Tuesday: 8km. But yest after my run, i felt so exhausted tt i crawled onto a stone bench, flopped down n i actually fell asleep there!! Think i concussed for abt 45 mins b4 i woke up...Bt feels like i'm over exerting myself a bit these few days, perhaps it's e combination of little sleep, high stress n exercising, i jus feel quite fatigued at times.

Haz, e weird thing is i'm reallie looking fwd to starting on my essay...weird, eh? okie, i better go take a shower first b4 heading off to e lib..:)

Bleahz..

Tearing my hair our over AI essay, wanted to do Sontag initially but i was too slow, all e bks out!
n eh, all e smarties like Soph, Jebro n Kev dg Sontag too, I heard...so perhaps, i wun, hahahah..
I hven't even centered on any topic so as to formulate a qn yet, i am SO dead...n there's still D'devil to do..

Set off for my first outdoor run after i sprained my ankle...skipped 2,500 first, then ran 6.5km, at snail's pace man, i gotta say...

Yest ate dinner at Crystal jade with folks then skipped 3,000 times after tt, chucked out e idea of runnign though sis went for a short stint, figured skipping wud save me some time..

n well, after skipping 2,600 nonstop, i came down with a reallie bad case of stitch, e water n e food was jus rolling abt in glorious delight inside my tummy, it hurt so bad bt i hv tis thing abt numbers.

once i hv 3,000 in mind, 2,600 is simply out of qn so grimaced in pain n went abt it, haz, i always skip in front of e mirror so cud see my face contorted with pain, it was revolting, to say e least.

Concussed at 10 last nite, was jus dead tired, woke up at 4 plus n was at work on AI, trying to find sources till nw...think i'll take a break n jus in time for Japan Hour! Woots! I cud eat an entire slab of salmon nw!

Evening run scheduled, hoping to do 8km tis time.* fingers crossed*

Back! OHMIGOD...i've a mysterious bump on the top left corner of my forehead n i hv absolutely no inkling on hw it planted its fat ass there. I've oredi gt e white hair strand quirk! One quirk is enuff!!! I dun wanna be Nat e Second, way uncool to hv a protruding bump...wad if it decides on procreation n spread across my entire forehead?? I dun wanna turn into a Flowerhorn Fish n they're so passe oredi....gross, gross, i'm freaking out..

Back on Track!

I ran jus nw! but a pretty pathetic run by my normal stds...4 km onli...actually did hv e stamina to go on but guess e hiatus frm running jus makes it tougher plus I skipped 2,500 times prior to my run n i dunno whether e skips caused it but my right knee started hurting...n yeap, i jus found it a bit boring. Tsk tsk..it's okie, i wun slam myself for tis run, i intend to start out slow n easy anyway, dun wanna rush too much into it, betta to up my mileage n speed gradually, my poor knees n ankles can't take e battering animore..

Bt all in all, I'm pretty pleased. Endorphin fix! Sheesh...MFA at 9 am tml n all e way at Tanglin! Sigh...wad an indecent hr to be writing essays....Lights Out!

Hee hee...ABC song of TITS...

http://www.geocities.co.jp/Milano-Cat/7098/abc.html

I'm sure guys wud be VERI interested in tis, esp dearie Chucky..i gt it off Wen's blog, they make me feel like an airport runway man!

Career Planning..

Phew...a huge burden finally off my back..D'Devil's presentation went okie, i admitted tt i reallie had my fair share of worries cuz well, i jus din wan him to bash our grp again plus much of e stuff was my own formulation n if tt happened again, i'll be letting my grp down totally....

Heez, so yest, i gaf myself half a day off n went shopping for bdae pressies for a few upcoming bdaes, 3 in total actually, well, i bought zilch stuff, as expected. N SID called on Monday, sheesh, i missed their call n called them back on Tuesday, well, it was a bit weird. They told me tt they find me more suitable for another post called Management Executive, dunno wad e hell tt means but she said it was flatter hierarchy n performance based n tt my main job was still to keep track of political developments, research, write reports etc..n she said if i was interested in tis post, to come down for another interview. Well, i told her tt i din exactly wan a desk bound job n frm e description of tis job, it pretty much sounds like a total desk bound one, haz, she asked me e percentage i hv in mind so i said 70% deskbound n 30% outdoors, wadever tt means. But eh, i told her tt i need to noe more abt this job so wun mind gg down for e interview. But met Lin Teck at e bustop yest n he was telling me tt Mindef's boring....sheeesh...but he oso added tt they hv a gym! Haha! I suppose my dream job wud be one at the Suntect building cuz Planet Fitness is situated there too, can jus go for some cardio n calories burning during e lunch hr..

Then.i jus checked my yahoo mail, n thank god i did...MFA replied n asked me to go for tis seminar thingy, basically it's stage 1 of e selection process, the writing test, personality etc..n it's on Thursday 9 am...so eh, Nat n Wens, sorrie, i gotta sit out on the Thursday meeting for D'Devil. N i was supposed to reply by 14th!! I hope replying late din ged me booted out. But was seriously thinking to myself wad i reallie wan for my career, i dun see it as a gd sign tt so far for the few interviews i've been to, deep down, i'm sorta secretly wishing tt i wun ged e job...i mean, wad e heck! I'm jus wasting my time, reminds me of tt time when i went for e interview for some Singtel partime job n basically i was trying my best to convince e interviewers hw UNsuitable i was for e job. I jus went for e interview so tt it'll seem as if i'm trying my best in my job search without actually genuinely knowing wad i want for my future career. n that sucks...

n haha, i am so happy tt i am finally gg back to my runs! Woots!! *opens champagne n jumps up n down in joy* I skipped tt day, it wasn't so bad, actually, i can feel tt my ankle is okie oredi but i was jus so busy with stuff tt i din hv e strength nor e time for a run. It was so bad tt i actually mustered e courage to ask Mum for Brand's essence of chicken when i was rushing DDR tt nite cuz i was a goner n was all ready to flop on e bed yet i still had to finish e stuff. Well,s he gaf me a knowing look n i cringed in disgust, i always feel tt downing chicken essence is like forcing a whole raw chicken down my throat, complete with feathers, chicken poo n all. ut no choice, been running on a caffeine overdosage oredi n it ain't working much for me n Red Bull's too sweet, i hate sweet stuff! N eh, currently addicted to Japanese green tea, i decided to drink like 2 cups daily cuz heard tt it's reallie gd for health so went to do a bit of research n i'm pretty much convinced n eh, it tastes pretty bland but i always prefer bland stuff so it's gonna stay put in my life..budden i jus read frm Cleo n some other source elsewhere tt white tea is even better than green tea n black tea, sthg abt it killing e stuff tt causes cancer itself n white tea sounds so chic!! but i dun even noe wad tt is or where i can ged it..

It's 509am nw, tot of dg a morn run at first but nah, i think i'll run in e evening, i wanna watch e sunset.

But eh, i suddenly tot of sthg, e gd thing abt MFA is e location, it's so near Orchard, i can jus pop down for shopping anytime..not like Mindef, some ulu place near Dairy Farm...ucks...n wad do i do there, go visit some cows? Hmmm..i need to crack my brainf or gordon, dunno if i dare to email him asking if i can do a bk review...nah, think he'll frown upon e idea.

I think i better catch up on my beauty sleep soon,literally man...i look like a total wreck nw, disgusting to say e least, i refuse to look at my numerous mirrors, i love them too much to rick a crack, haz..Taz..

Pls go away...

My migraine is back...n i tot it had left me forever...tt familiar throbbing pain, e paralyzing feeling on one side of e face...ucks, i dun think i can handle all my stuff plus a migraine nw..so pls jus go away. Back to D' Devil's work again..

A brutal week

So I sucked BIG time..my presentation, e contents, my style...DDR pretty much said it in his 30 min critique. Tis is a brutal week, feel pretty much bummed out oredi, i need my runs bt my ankle still hurts. Somehow these words come to mind....snowballing, avalanche, abyss...

n thx, Wen...reading ur blog entry cheers me up...:)...hope it'll be a better wk for both of us, i think my wk can't ged any worser than it oredi is...

Blissfully in Love...pic of Lian n her bf frm Germany...eh, yuntian, for ur perusal, haha..

Adrenaline!

Sthg told me tt today was gonna be a bad day n when e radio horoscope prog confirmed tt abt Scorpions, when e skies darkened n thunder rumbled, when torrential rain started crashing down, i knew i was gg to be dead accurate abt tt gut feeling. Gt up at 330am, gt my Leo Ku fix at 4 plus n as usual after e show ended at 5 plus, i cud nt ged back to slp. Hw i wish i cud jus sleep on n make full lazy use of my onli free day but my interview's at 930 am. Gt to Westmall at 7 plus, bought a copy of e papers, ordered Kopi-si frm an outlet similar to tt of Ya Kun n started shaking my legs till almost 9. 930 came n went, nobody else was there except me, was starting to panic a trifle when i saw e familiar car with e equally familiar uncle who honked n i ran up to e car..Phew...

e interview tis time round was better than e last one, in a way, at least...e interviewers were of a nicer nature, esp e one frm O...he is so gawdamn MAN!Anyway, interview over n done with, tuition with Lovely pushed to 5. Headed to Clementi to ged my resume foto done up since i was in work clothes. Headed to Mac to use e loo n my heart nearly skipped a beat. Saw someone at e table looking uncannily like him....jus a fatter version. Cud feel my heart pounding reallie hard. N at tt moment, i decided to go to Clementi UOB to ged my account done, well, he'll be at work bt i figured after tt shock jus nw, i wud be much more ready to meet him. In e end, it took a reallie long time to ged e stuff done n as i headed down, his seat was empty,most prob out for lunch, eh, so tt was it. Fate decrees, doesn't it? i suppose i shud be glad in a way.

Headed to Westmall again, wanted to ged a latte n jus sit down n chill..in e end, opted for walking ard instead. Boy! Am i glad i did? There r certain things abt shopping i've nailed to a T. First, shopping with Wen no matter whether I buy any sutff is always FUN! Second, shopping when i most need to buy stuff will always yield me NOTHING, okie, mebbi a few bruises n sore feet. Third, shopping when i least expect to buy stuff geds u in e midst of e craziest sale. Hoho, i fell into e third category today! Bought a skirt n 2 bags! Woootsie!So there's reallie sthg in retail therapy, turns out me n Nat both gt our fix today, haz...n e salesgirls were reallie frenly, one kept stuffing clothes into e changin rms for me whilst e one was jus a perfect doll. She was jus so incredibly nice i had to go up to her after making my purchases to thank her for her help n service. Haz, whilst I was indulging in my rare shopaholic mood, i half wished i had nt returned e sup credit card he gaf me for our 1st yr. Hoho, wud hv put it to full use plus taste sweet revenge by using tt to swipe my purchases...yeah, right, as if i reallie wud n even if i had done tt, i bet i wud be in e embarassing position of wishing i cud melt into e ground after e salespple tell me apologetically tt my card has been cancelled.

yeah, drats those U.R.S heels, heck, they ain't heels, wedges instead..i tot U.R.S shoes were supposed to be comfy. My pair almost killed me today. If wedges cud hv tt lethal an effect, i shudder at e tot of wearing heels in e near future. yeah, celeb Lian;s bdae with e 2a'ers at Crystal Jade n her darling is coming to Spore tis fri! tt is so exciting, tis guy with a mind boggling background of being born in NZ with his origins n parents nw in HK, working in Germany n nw has a love interest in Spore. We're gonna be meeting her squeeze tis fri, can't wait! He gotta ged past me first man before 2a stamps approval on him, lian deserves a great guy (tt if if there're even any left in e world) after tt jerk n we're gonna seize tis one up. Bt of cuz, time's still e best indicator. Guys noe hw to hide their canines well, ho...guess e gd thing is most gers r Little red Riding hoods onli once in their life. They learn after tt.

off to wrap up Lockhart, i wish i can jus flop n turn into a log. NiteZ.
