Woohoo! I've finally overcome my fear on the plank! I've crossed it and yet better then what I've expected! Hey hey, be a man do the right thing! So start calling me winner! Haha, just joking. It started off a bit shaky still and at the beginning, I still fell off the plank for about 3 times but then, subsequent attempts, I managed to clear it and even stayed onto it for more then 7 seconds where the minimum requirement was to stay at least 6! I feel proud of myself now. Go onto the plank again? Bring it on baby!
We did the E-brake first. Aye aye, chicken feet ya. It was like bingo, within the stipulated distance (11 metres) and even better! Then, comes the plank for more than 6 seconds and finally the pylon slalom (cones course) for less than 6 seconds.
Anyway, I just reached home. If you remember correctly, I should be working right now but what a wasted trip. I reached our office early morning and together with the other 2, we set off towards the distributor with our in-charge and to our disappointment, the distributor side decided to change the appointment to tomorrow! Oh ya right! Why didn't they inform our office earlier in the first place? And look, now we all made a wasted trip! Waste time and money. I could've slept in till noon ya know! Darn! Tomorrow better be good...
Remember from my previous post (can't exactly remember which one), I've mentioned that one of the trees outside my block was turning bald and I thought it was due autumn. Now, they are cutting it down and it's balding not because autumn is coming because the rest of the trees are still green! I think it's infected by some plant viruses. So sad.
So, since I'm not working today, I think I'll be going TKD training tonight. Wondering how's mum doing at China?

Ok, not debt that's involving cash but rather sleep debt. I'm so sleepy! It's like after the camping thingy, I didn't catch much of sleep and then it's like "oh right, it's a new day" kinda feeling. My eyes can hardly be kept open! But I can't sleep now either. It's way too bright at home.
Xuan gave me a call this morning. Well, not really early morning but I hardly woke up and I think he's pretty astonished that I'm not even off the bed! Anyway, he wasn't hurt reallt badly from the accident. But he did had a hard knock on his head. Ouch. sumTing didn't get a cut on his forehead either, just a cut on his back and requires 2 stitches. Ouch!
Anyway, after listening to what Xuan told me about the living expenses at Australia, I think I'm not going over there to study until I'm rich! Or perhaps you might want to fully pay for my studies over there then I will start considering. Bleah! A can of drinks will cost you A$2 to A$3, which is roughly about S$3++ to S$4++! Oh my gosh!
For my job, sad to say they put me under standby crew, which means only when someone's down at a certain store and I have to rush down to take over, other then that, I'll still be free at home, WITHOUT pay of course. Darn! But at least for the setting up of the shelves, which starts tomorrow, I'm working. So for about 5 days work, I should get around $300. Phew, some cash to cover my extra expenses in SSDC. The best part is Kiwi and Patrick are also working for the promo next month! Haha. What a small world!
I've got bike lesson tonight. Wish me luck! Hopefully I stop falling off that stupid plank!

Ok, I know it may sound a little bit crazy but right now, I'm happily typing away at East Coast MacDonald. Time now is like 4am?!? Huh?
Actually, we are suppose to be camping with Weiping, Chris and Junqing but we were kinda sick of the rain and so, decided to find a little hideout. Haha. The rain was pretty heavy and our little tentage was like a little kranky, with water dripping inwards. Irritating.
Think I'll be sleeping away at home later in te afternoon. Please don't wake me up. Heehee...

Sang using Alicia Keys' Fallin' (Chorus)
"I keep on fallin' of the plank
With my palms on the ground
I still cannot balance on the plank
Without fallin' off... oh oh oh......."
Ok, that's just a little joke that I've came up with. Ok, I still fell off the plank just now and was quite terrible. Why am I so slow in learning things. In school already like that. Then TKD I'm also pretty slow with learning and now, even bike I got problem. Haiyo, what's the freaking problem with me? So sick of myself le.
Anyway, at least today after numerous attempts on the plank, I finally made it through for 3 times! Wah! The feeling is shiok! High! But for obvious reasons the instructor is not gonna lemme proceed until I can do it all the time right. So have to take back the lesson again next Monday. As for Thomas, he was doing great and managed to clear Lesson 3. Cool! I'll clear it on Monday, well, hope so la.
Like what Thomas said, I'm perhaps jinxed by courses ending with "ank". Haha. First was Crank course and now Plank. What's next? Touch wood...
I'm wondering if I should go TKD training tonight. I'm pretty tired now.
There's still job training tomorrow at Potong Pasir and perhaps I'll meet up with the TKD peps at Sentosa. Well, perhaps ba...
Mum went China last night. Wonder how she's doing? hope it's not too cold for her. She hated freezing weather.

I'm worried, very very worried. On the average, I'm falling down once every lesson! This is bad if it keeps on going in this way.
Doing E-brake is quite ok for me but riding on the plank killed me. For don't know how many times, I kept on falling off the plank and off the track. The entire lesson, I couldn't pass the plank successfully! Great, after Crank course, now I've got another killer -- plank.
Everytime I'm up on the plank, I start to wobble and cannot keep in track. I just kept on steering off! Confidence level: 0! Thomas on the other hand did a fantastic job on the plank. Keep it up dude!
Now now, where the hell is Aaron? He is UNCONTACTABLE! After losing his handphone, he should get a new line and get it fix! Now, is he still interested in the job?

Yeah! This is the hundredth post! Lalala... Ok, I know it's no big deal considering me blogging almost everyday (looking at the calendar on the right). Alright, I hear someone calling me chatterbox... I'm NOT denying it! Haha.
Anyway, here comes the good news:
1. I've passed my bike Lesson 2 and going on to Lesson 3 tomorrow! How lucky, considering that I've got a damn lousy bike today for lesson!
2. I'm starting work next week, $7/h, 9am to 7pm for 5 days! Woohoo! Spare cash for bike lessons!
3. I'm also working for 3hrs everyday for the entire month of November! More spare cash. Haha.
4. I've been learning hard for my next pattern for black belt next year and it seems fine till now. Yeah!
5. It started raining again after my lesson just now! Phew! Close shave.
Well, here comes the bad news:
1. I'm gonna skip all my TKD lessons for the entire month of November. Sucks!
2. Heard that Xuan and sumTing met with some freak accident in Australia. Heard that Xuan only had some bruises while sumTing had a deep cut on his face! Hope they are ok! Let's pray!
3. Vivian was hurt during training last night. She had seriously injured her foot. Hope she's fine. Ouch!
Mum is going China tomorrow for a tour. She seems excited. I wanna go too. Nevermind, told her to help me buy some stuff back, like food and food and erm... food... Ok, food! Haha. Oh, and some jackets. Heard that it's damn cheap over there!

I almost puked inside the MRT cabin just now while on my way back from Creative! Not that I'm not feeling well or what but the moment I sat down, an old ah pek sitting opposite me kept on STARING at me. I'm not exaggerating, he was literally staring at me! It was as if I owe him millions of dollars! But that's besides the point of why I felt like puking. Well, this very same ah pek started digging his nose despite the entire cabin looking at him with disbelief. Digging discreetly is ok but vigorously? Hmmmmmmm, and after that, he decided to "dispose" his black gold by wiping it off under the seat! What the fuck!?!
Ok, that's only the first part of the story. Here comes the one... I decided to take a short nap since it's still a long way home and also at the same time, save my eyes from seeing such stuff that will kinda "pollute" it. I don't know what else this ah pek had been doing during my short nap but when I woke up, he was digging his ears! Gosh! Then, he decided to find out how his earwax smells like? Oh my goodness! GROSS!
Now you understand why I felt like puking back then.
Anyway, got my MP3 player battery cover changed and it's NOT under the 1 year guarantee. Same for my earphones. So, only paid for the new cover which is about $5. Darn, it's a little expensive for a small piece of plastic like this. Argh!
I'll start work next week from Tuesday to Saturday. And as for the entire month of November, I'll be working too but only from 6pm to 9pm. Hope all this will cover for all my bike lessons and also my other expenses. Ya know, peps on "Civilian Conversion Course" spends quite alot ya! Bleah!
I'm beat and later, I've got TKD training.

Ok, ripped this off from one of my email attachments and it's really really funny! So, enjoy laughing!
Have you ever wondered why office staff is always dead tired? They are tired by the end of the day and companies require no further physical fitness programmes for their employees. The reason is that EVERYONE gets enough exercise by:
1. Jumping to conclusion
2. Beating around the bush
3. Running down the boss
4. Going around in circles
5. Dragging their feet
6. Passing the buck
7. Climbing the ladder
8. Wading through paperwork
9. Pulling strings
10. Throwing their weight around
11. Stretching the truth
12. Bending the rules
13. Pushing their luck
No wonder they are all dead tired at the end of their working day!

I am so LAZY! I'm suppose to wake up this morning for a jog and yet I can't resist the temptation of the cooling weather and my welcoming bed! I went back to my lala land almost immediately. But who can deny this morning's weather isn't good for sleeping eh?
Well, just reached home after my bike lesson again and remember my previous few post that I've mentioned about the phobia of entering Figure 8 course and Crank course? Well, I've overcome it finally. Well, not perfecting the skills of moving within but at least, my heart don't pump like the last time now and I don't screw up that often anymore. Slope as usual was a piece of cake.
And what a close shave that was! It started drizzling right after our lesson! Phew!
Tomorrow will be a pretty long day perhaps. I've got a job briefing in the morning and then later in the afternoon, I'm going over to Creative to repair my player! Ok, this is the annoying part! My player wasn't even a year old but the earphones wires are already damaged! And perhaps due to it's small size, the battery cover is about to break off too! Argh! after going to Creative, gonna go for TKD training. Ok, I'll play smart this time round -- bring my guards down! Haha.

"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 was looking out of my window just now and realized it's suppose to be autumn now. The huge old tree in front of my block is withering. The leaves are turning yellowish. The branches are getting bare. There aren't any flowers blooming on the tree. It's really a beautiful sight while the wind was blowing and the leaves are falling at the same time. It's so much like the Korean dramas isn't it? Always beautiful. But damnit, I don't have a camera to capture that instance! Darn! What a waste! Ok, in order to see such instances again, you can alway donate to the "Buy Rice a Digital Camera Fund" ya! Then I can always capture all these moments for you! Keke...
Ok, it's so cold right now that my hairs are standing! *shivers
Ya know, I use to walk in the rain when I was younger, well, much younger. The feeling of the cooling rain-drops wakes me up, refreshes me and at the same time, slaps me hard to let me know how this world is operating. The facts of life and the reality that we all have to face is scary. The pain that life had gave me is unforgettable. The scar that life had gave me is unerasable. I've been learning the word "life" since I was in Primary 2. Well, perhaps you might not even remember the classmate that was sitting next to you. I do. Because since that age, I've learnt what was being betrayed felt like. I've learnt what was being pushed around felt like. Everyday is a learning day for me since Primary 2. On those variety shows, they like to use "Xi Nu Ai Le" (Happy, Angry, Sad, Joyous) to describe human feelings. I've known way much more type of feelings then that and experienced every single one of them till now.
Well, ups and downs are everyday stuff. I've been learning to look at things on a brighter side and on a lighter note. Well at least, I don't feel as "heavy" as I was back then now. Ok, not that I'm losing weight la, you get the drift.
So, when will this rain stops? It better be. I'm meeting mum for dinner later. It's her birthday tomorrow so we are having this little advance celebration.
Hmmmmmmm, wondering how's Xuan doing at Australia now? Hope he don't kill sumTing!
