"Rain drops keep falling on my head..."

Ok, not literally falling on my head but right now, at this very instance, it's raining cats and dogs outside my window. It's really a nice weather to sleep in however. But perhaps I've enough of sleep in bed and I'm kinda wondering when will the sun shine again? Ok, let's not get too emotional ya. Haha.

I am totally SHAGGED OUT!

After bike lesson yesterday, Went home to pack my stuff for TKD and I'm totally unprepared for sparring AGAIN! Thought they say that there will only be 1 sparring session per week and Tuesday we already had our sparring le. Hmmmmm.

Well anyway, they started off with circuit sparring. Which means the entire class will stand in 2 rows facing each other and start sparring for about 1 to 2 minutes then there will be a change in partners. It went on for quite sometime and I tell you, it's one of the longest circuit sparring I've ever done. Then it was shadow sparring, whereby the instructors will hold onto 2 hand-mit (hand targets) to mimick the opponents' movement and target exposure while we have to chase and kick or counter. I tell you, this one is damn shag. Then I don't know what's going on when suddenly they decided to get all the Brown belt and above to do sparring sessions with all the juniors! It went on and on till I almost collapse, not including the time where my precious groin got kicked! Ouch! I couldn't even stand up, I mean on my feet! What are you thinking?

And guess what? Right after training, I've got a call from Kailoong, informing me that they will be going Dbl O! And entrance before 2230H is free! Yeah right! Looking at the clock, it was already 2130H and I'm still in NYP. How to make it on time? I haven't reach home, haven't had my dinner, haven't bathe, haven't change up, haven't wash my tobok. Wah, so last minute activation! More over right after my training, my left arm was badly bruised, like being tortured while my right arm couldn't bend upwards fully! Ouch! Both my shin were bruised too. My in-step was slightly swollen. Ouch! But nevertheless, I went, though at a later time with Aaron and JJ.

Some unhappiness here and there when Aaron's friend couldn't enter due to age constraints (Aaron, why didn't check?) but we all went in. Danced all night and ended the young night at Geylang with a sumptous meal of soya bean and tau huey! Haha.

And I never knew, there's so much prositution going on at Geylang after so many to stop all these activites by the gahmen. Hmmmmmmm.

"Rain rain go away, come again another day!"

How I wish this was true just now while I was having my bike lesson half-way. It started pouring like a major storm. Heavy rain, poor visibility and strong wind. And I thought Lesson 2 might be a breeze! Yeah right! I fell down for goodness sake while I mounted kerb don't know how many times! Ok, for a start, we have to complete a Figure-8 Course within 11 seconds, followed by a Crank-Course for 6 seconds. Now, this Crank-Course is NOT the same as those you do for cars, this is much much narrowier! Plus rain, plus wind, plus phobia, I tell you, it is sooooooooooooo hard! I mounted kerb here not once but TWICE! And one of it, I fell while balancing myself on the kerb. Mounted kerb in Figure-8 once. Stalled my engine in it too for about 2 times!

Darn!

Ok, just when you though only girls get ugly tan-lines after staying in the sun, you are WRONG! After yesterday's lesson, I've got 2 extremely ugly tan-lines on both of my fore arms! And I was only in the sun for only a short while! Wah kaoz!

Why am I getting that ugly tan-lines you might ask? You see, for all student's taking bike lessons at SSDC, will have to wear gloves n protective gear. Now, the glove will only cover up your hand right? The elbow guard will only cover up the elbow. So, now left the uncovered part and viola, here comes the tan-lines when the sun comes up. Damn!

It's so ugly! So please promise me that you would laugh when you see my arms ok?

And gosh, my bike lesson later on is at 1440H. Hope there's no sun but it's raining now! What the heck? I better don't slip and fall. Saw a guy yesterday while doing crank course fell. Ouch!

Now, it might sound hilarious but last night, I really went for a presentation for network marketing for the first time in my life. Yes, it's interesting to know about such stuff but, still, I don't quite trust such things ya. They do have ideas which are pretty well made but still, the question is trust. Ok, although I haven't tell Desmond that I'm not interested but I'm sure he'll call me this few days. Ok, now... how should I tell him that I'm not interested? Hmmmmmm...

The presenter was pretty witty and fast. Loud, clear, funny and confident. Ok, I think not many peps I've seen has that kind of "speaking qualities" and that's why he stands out almost instantly while he speaks ya. Ya know, presenting on their biz plans and stuff, then goes onto their courses. Ok, perhaps that's what every other network marketing does but I'm not amazed la basically. But it's good to see familiar faces around like Desmond and Adrian. It brings back memories.

Anyway, the presentation and stuff like that went on till quite late at night and phew, managed to catch the last few trains back home. Well, save on my cab fare. I'm pretty broke ya know. And plus my bike lessons on-going, I'm going to "declare" bankrupt soon! So, who would like to sponsor me for all my bike lessons? Haha. Nah, just joking and I doubt anyone would do that either! Bleah. But hey, Jeffrey got me a temp job with Osram to set up some counters and stuff for their upcoming promo. Not bad ya know, for 5 days work, I get to recieve $7/h! Not bad, just enough to cover some of my lessons! Yeah!

Just reached home after my bike lesson and guess what? I've clear my Lesson 1 and tomorrow I proceeding to Lesson 2! Finally! And I thought the instructor might not clear me for today's lesson since I couldn't do the cornering thingy well. No, I suck in that! Haha. I couldn't keep in lane after I turn! Shit! But he still pass me. Phew!

Got my stitches removed finally and viola, I can chew properly with my left side! How comfortable!

I love yoghurt and I tell you, Meiji produces one of the best yoghurt I've ever tried! Low in fat and contains milk calcium. The fruits comes in huge pieces! Yummy. Strawberry flavour is the best, followed by Aloe Vera. Mmmmmmmm. I'm going to have one cup later.

After the TKD training just now, my emotions had almost hit rock-bottom... well, almost...

The basics were ok asa usual. Nothing changed and that's precisely why I'm feeling down. I'm not improving. It's been almost 5 years and now, holding on to a black-tip, I think I don't deserve the belt. I suck big time! Sparring was terrible. I was terrible. I suck. Chief Instructor was disappointed. I was disappointed. "Ni Hao Xiang Mei You Jing Bu Dao Hor?" (It seems that you had not improve at all right?). All I can afford was a light nod and a forced smile. What else can I say? It seems that I had reached my peak. I can't break through!

I was walking back home from the MRT.

Today seems exceptionally warm as compared to pass few days. I'm looking outta my windows now and gosh, the sun is scorching hot! Even the air feels warm as I breathe in. Darn, then I guess I'll be like gasping for oxygen later during training.

Just came back home with mum from Citibank to deal with some of her investment and stuff like that. Hmmmmmmm, the lady seems nice... and very pretty of course. Haha. From the stuff on her desk, she's the Top Sales in Citibank this year! Wow, kewl!

After that was lunch at Cartel. Then shop for some grocery and stuff and now, viola, I'm back home. Tired, sleepy... I seems to be incurring a sleep debt but I'm wondering why... Hmmmmmm...

Anyway, read some of the reports on the little girl that was being "thrown" down by an ex-air stewardess. I don't know if I should feel sad for the lady. Well, actually I pitied both the lady and that little girl. Something that was wrongfully did to the lady by the little girl's parents caused her death. A message from God perhaps? Retribution? I seriously think it's time for the parents of the little girl to think about what they had done to the lady. Although it's really a misfortune for the little girl to die but it could've been prevented isn't it if you had not done anything wrong to the lady right? Have both her money and body cheated. Sad. I felt sad for the lady too. But she could've been more calm when handling such issues ya. But when your emotions are being totally destroyed, how can you still control your thoughts? I think I'll jump.

Gosh, enough of this case le.

88, a lucky number ya for the Chinese. But haiz, today ain't too lucky for me. Shucks!

Ok peps, I passed my Theory Trial Test finally and I barely scrapped through. 45 points out of 50! Phew! The passing score is 45! Heng ah! So now, I'll be up to the Riding Theory Test ya. But it's in November, so there's still sometime for preparation.

Anyway, today's practical lesson is soooooooooo fucked up. It's not my day really. Thomas had even proceeded further to the turning thingy while I'm still on the mian circuit. I tell you, the feeling sucks! I'm wondering if it's me or the bike. The biting point is so difficult to find and both my mirrors kept on dropping off my view. The left handle bar kept on shaking vigorously throughout the entire lesson. Shucks. Should have requested a change but on what grounds? The bike is still working ya. Darn. Throughout the entire lesson, my engine stalled for at least 10 times! 10 times mind you! Wah kaoz! I feel so lousy now.

Thursday got one more practical lesson coming up in the evening. Hope it wouldn't be as bad.

When I was back in unit just now to endorse my MC, encik was kinda requesting me standby for this month's guard duty. What the heck?!? I don't want to do ya! And besides, TKD IVP Competition is coming soon and I think by next week, the teams would be formed and I'll be helping out in their training. So, I really don't want to go back camp unless there's a recall! And Darren, if you don't know anything on what I do, please do me a favour -- SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH UP! The things that you were saying is really NOT helping in front of encik ok. *Pissed

I'm tired and sleepy.

Meeting Hans later for movie. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride! I've been waiting to catch that movie. Next one will be Everlasting Regrets (Chang Hen Ge), starring Sammi Cheng. I love her ya! It's a sad story though. Bring some tissue in ya! Haha.

Now, I better not doze off inside the cinema later. Haha.

Fianlly, after so many years, I'm a TKD black-tip! Yup, a senior senior belt! Just 1 more step to black next year. How happy ya! But yesterday was pretty screwed up. All of the brown belt were called together by our instructor for a stern warning from the chief examiner to "do our pattern properly". Huh? We didn't make any mistake ok, but according to the chief examiner, all off us lack the force. Hmmmmmmmm??? Never mind.

I'm gald that I've passed. Now for black!

Anyway, my IBS is still bothering me till now and I'm getting irritated by it. Darn!
