[107. over]

"When it's over, that's the time I fall asleep again!
When it's over, that's the time I go to lala land!"

I'm sooooooooo damn bloody tired. After 4 days of gruelling and hectic work, I can hardly keep up with the time that's passing by. It's like "eh, it's the next day already?!?" type of feeling every morning. It's scary sometimes. Ya know, open your eyes, it's working time. After work, barely warmed up the sofa, it's bedtime. Sucks! But for the money, I don't have a better choice. It's the best I can find.

Ok, let's do some tabulate. Wednesday, Eugene and I went 5 outlets. Thursday, 7. Friday, 6. And just now, we went 8! I tell you, now my fingers, back, eyes and legs aches like hell! Besides our team, Jeffrey's gal also have another team with this guy call Sky. Sad to say, they have to take public transport whereas I have Eugene to ride me around. So both teams added up together, we have almost covered the entire Singapore outlets! Kewl!

But today was a little demoralising. First, Logan SMSed me. I think, most probably he's thinking of jio-ing me out. Then, was Chris. And lastly, Aaron! What the heck?!? If only I'm not working... But guess what? I'm having a little mahjong session at Weiping's place! How rare for me to play mahjong right and especially I'm always losing! But I think they're not playing money. Haha. Rare!

Mum's coming home later. Finally... I think she'll be buzy ranting on her trip. Hope she buy some nice goodies back! Mmmmmmmmm...

[106. training]

Entering senior level in the TKD club has brought a whole new meaning to me. Can you imagine me taking warm up? Ok, I think I did a terrible job anyway. I'm trying very hard not to use the uniform group methods to take class as I know that it will only bring outrageous adverse effects to the club. Ya know, peps who can't take it will eventually quit and I think it's really pointless for me to do so.

Actually, warm up was easy. I mean the strength of the class is already pathetic enough to start off with. There was already hardly any morale to talk about. So stretched here and there then we kick off the warm up jog. Since the track and ground were wet due to rain, Dennis decided that we only run the "covered" area, as in, not very wet area to prevent peps from slipping off. I seriously think we wasn't going at a very fast rate and perhaps slower then usual but I did include some actions for maximum warm up from waist down.

Here comes the little pissing part where I think I did a terrible job -- cooling down. For those whom had already served NS, will definately know the part where we all ask if anyone isn't feeling well. Back on the training ground, I asked 3 times. I tell you, I don't need a really immediate feedback like what we do in army like replying loudly or what. All I need is attention from the class to as least show me that you can still breathe, give me the eye contact like what we do back in units. But to my horror, almost the entire group simply "wondered" off to lala land, chit chatting amongst themselves or simply switched off to me. I felt weak, weak in my heart. It's soooooo disheartening to see the class that you are taking turns out this way. I blew off the last time, shouted loudly to the entire training ground. Am I over-reacting? I think not...

Luckily Sir Peter took over the class after that, if not I might have to take the class for the entire training. But with my kind of mood after the warm up, I doubt I will do a good job either.

Anyway, I just came home from work and I tell you, it's super tiring. My eyes are heavy, fingers hurt and back aching. I'm with a guy who rode a bike and we went around the eastern part of Singapore, setting up the gondolas. Ok, he rides an Aprilla and you know la, sports bike have a relatively higher back seat which slants a little forward. I tell you, it's really embarrasing for 2 guys, sitting sooooooo close to each other since I kept on sliding forward everytime he opens up the trottle or brakes. Darn!

[105. bingo]

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?

[104. debt]

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!

[103. camping]

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...

[102. fallin']

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.

[101. worried]

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?

[100. milestone]

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!

[99. disgusting]

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.

[98. workxercise]

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!
