SICK!

Sunday! City duathlon...
I was my worse race ever.. The nite before, I had already felt the radiation creeping into me. But I didn't wanna disappoint my friend and participated in the race instead..
Running was pretty ok... Without a 10KM trial for 6 months? I could do it in 55 mins... Although thats slow compared to many others who HAD beed training. But I think it's pretty amazing for me to do so. Just by relying on my past cardiovascular buildup =). After that 10KM run, I totally lost it... The bike leg was excruciating, unable to do at least a 30km/h now. I reminisce those times I could easily cruise @ 35km/h. These legs of mine are old and untrained.. oh well!
And guess what... the last 5KM, I WALKED!! Never walked in such a race before, I could not believe it myself too.. Just that my mental threshold was breached and I can't do anything about it!
But well well, I finished it in the end.. doing a 3hr and 40+ mins... Not to bad for a busy guy who had not train in 6 months =)

My fren psychoed me to relay the triathlon with him, well, without thought, i said yes! Now i will have to train for that race coming!.. argh!!

Anyway.. Thing about this race is that, I WAS sick and i didn't listen to signs my body tried to tell me! The next day!
WHAM!! woke up 4am in the morning feeling hot sweaty and in pain!! It's more like I got struck by a hot iron in the face.

Monday, 1st time i saw a doc in awhile... She was nice, gave me all her strongest medicine and 2 days of rest. The process was terrible anyway, I never wanna get sick again! =

Didn't go to school for project work for 2 days, feeling real bad about it. especially for those who put effort in making the prototype!! Ill contribute as much as possible tomorrow! =)

no details, XXOR lrig ym ttub =)

To everyone happy holidays!!

Nothing much today! 2 quizes and went shopping for EID project parts... Ate the famous sungei road lor me, but it turn out to be a lil sub standard. I think because it's the evening and the ingredients are no longer fresh!!

Weird enough, days feels like weeks!!
Hours feels like days... Shes staying 1 more day in the 日本国...
That makes it roughly about 1 week later... =

Anyway, i miss playing tennis and frequent cycling... I am really gonna have more of it once all this EID crap is over!!

Day 3

Went to ang mo kio hub for the first time. Pretty nice place! and i bet it's crowded during sundays! Becuz there is free parking @ the HDBs just across the road!!! Well, i didn't take advantage of that. It's a nice place, with the famous citylink restaurant, new york new york. Can have some nice yummy burgers with colourful fabrics seats and top it with some self made candyfloss... =) THere were pretty unique shops there, like the jersey shop and one beside minitoons selling weird modern fashion stuffs. If you need some rest and tea break, can pop in the toast box or nearby chinese restaurant to rest your legs.. Nice sub urban mall...

Todays lesson was about composites and technopreneurship. Techno ended darn early.. like 2 hrs ahead of schedule... ahh those slack professors. =

Anyway, as i was walking pass N3 today, somebody just call out my name!~ And I don't know who she was.. Elaine she addressed herself as. And immediately it striked a chord. She was the one incharge of MAE advertising brochures for the coming semester. During the exams, she asked about my opinion on the entrepreneurship minor and asked if I can provide this quote and a picture on a brochure... Well, weeks after doing so, It's on the brochure already!! Thats efficiency man! Well, she left me a copy so I could keep it.

Going salsa with davis tmr!! Hope it's lotsa fun! 6 weeks to gain ground to catch up with her.
=)
Technology really makes people happy!... For once, I am so greatful to having SMSes and Internet...
Day 3, shes still in Hokkaido, this part of the week is called hell. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!U SSIM I

DAY 1

Just got back from a cycling session w/ WJ...
Had the famous beef noodles @ the hawker there.. Soup is yummy, beef is tender, bean sprouts a lil crunchy! But the bad thing is that you have to queue up for about 20 mins? Not bad still... The uncle spent effort beautifying every bowl and he was meticulous how long the meat is blanched, giving it the soft tenderising texture...! YUMMY! =)

Morning, I decided to give pretty a spa! The car was washed thoroughly, after, I applied 2 coats of sealant inorder to remove all the stubborn water marks, and finally complete it with a fusso teflon wax that will aid the beading effort of water on the car surface.
I spent 5 hours doing it and 5 horse power of myself to do so.. It was a tough labourous job but the results IS satisfying!! =)

Just rented Cars from video EZY, Suppose to catch this movie with badtz! but I didn't due to busy days in school!! = It's a good movie and i don't wanna miss it!! =)

Prior after having the 26 inch lCD TV in the room, my dad added an XBOX 360.. Saying I could play tennis everyday even if it rains outside... HAHAHA! =) well.. I haven do so.. Will be playing cars on it soon! =)

Shes in Hokkaido now, day 1... feeling a little of a miss.. =

okies! time to catch cars!
Have a nice day peeeeeps!

just one night

it was months before i realised that someone.
only recents widens roads and depth of an action.
phantom, being the palate of the night was a wonderful night to start with.
although not the most attractive of seatings, but the collective atmosphere that facilitates.
it is a night to remember as much told has been said.
an initiative., a tough decision and a new beginning.
these captions every part of the reality.
although just as it seems that a trip may dampen.
i am so thankful for you and your very prescence.
and may i have you for-ever last.

Yr 3 student now!

exams ARE OVER!

Had been 2 days since and till now i am VERY satisfied how it was spent...
Have to really put mindsets of those badly done papers away.. This sem is really tough, and it's probably the first time I nearly teared in an exam... I just pray i wouldn't have to take the same subjects over again, however for now ill have to keep my textbooks just in case~

Well well, last paper was a rubbish paper.. totally singapore biased.. Kudos to those foreigners that took it..
It was a final year paper... AE4007 titled Engineers and society. The module title is deceiving!!
Actually in the module, there is alot of propaganda in it... not only that, one have to be singaporean inorder to know the facts or at least be interested in it...

For example... One question states..

How many national anthems did singapore have?
OMG, I BET many people were unsure of the answer and chose either 2 or 3...
See how locally biase this paper is?
It was totally like a GP paper.. writing as much knowledge about singapore and the world, as one can...

The inviliator on the microphone was hilarious... saying everything in redundance. THose who were present understands =P

5pm!! PUT DOWN YOUR PENS... and it was finally over...

it was torturous having nonstop projects reports and exams back to back!... For many of us, we were pretty sick and drained... It's amazing how much we achieve this semester, and it has been so long since we had a break... although on paper it's 19AUs, i pretty much felt it as a 27 AUs sem... Having to come school every weekend since 2- months ago. = ok.. i should stop complaining... later i get blackmarked and the prof pull down my grades ill be dead... YOU RAWK PROFF! we love all the projects you given us! and we are damn appreciative! thanks!

5pm!! hell broke loose... went back to hall and pack up within an hour! vios was loaded with clothes, electrical equipment and etc... 6.30pm we left for town and it was a wonderful feeling!
=)
Sun with moon, a restaurant recommended by xp and adeline, who said... that place.. not so expensive lah! yeah rite.. it is!! well the only g00d thing is that green tea was on the house..

food is good, atmosphere is great, and waitress is spectular!! A**ko Chan is a jap waitress who is friendly and soft spoken with cute actions... All of us thought so..! Best of all, mic and I gotten a chance to take a picture with her =)

Anyway, it was pretty much a great night except I was grilled by almost everyone there..

They make me feel terrible...!! Much revealed and said.. so don't ask me anymore...

After sun with moon, a walk down the bustling nightlife in clarkquay swayed us to brewerks. All becuz of meee =P For the first time, we tried the fruitz beer, and it taste horrendous! India Ale was fantastic... love it =) Mic was pretty attention grabbing to the aussies down there; he was wearing a australian rugby jersey. Nice fun people they were!! Ended the night early around 12.30.. =)
That nite, dad surprised me with a new 26 inch LCD tv in my room! It was a great big present and for all the things he gave me, he rawks!! I love dad =) Anyway it look so big, and out of place in my small room.. =
SSSSssssaturday was even better... =) =)

feeling fat and unfit, need to train for the duathlon, someone do it with me!!
To the night...

Wants:
Honda Integra or Mazda RX-8
Totally new ICE for the car
