*___Central Amusement__

pulled my arse to blog cos today was a stinkingly special day.

Definition of Stink (in this context): It is the ability to rot one's insides out. That is also to say, the unbalance of one's state.
actually not that bad la... only tired (leading to wierd thots) as saltwater drys eyebags.. even now. -sighs- Honeymoon over le. Time to get down to business.
was this close *shows a minute gap betw thumb and index finger* to giving up during the first few sets... til i got into the baby boat.. so spacious manss :D it was so squeezy in that big boat and going pretty fast too-- tho ben disagreed... cos he still got stand at the front *_*;
got so much to catch up on... missing sea trng is no joke. i tire out so easily while rowing even tho i completed the run with hid.

all in all, it's a special day becos i got to reflect on my sucky rowing and the skeleton of 500m AND i had all my meals with my mommy and brother
AND i got the SHOES. it's nike, handpicked by bro, NOT ACG, have a chinese charater kua^4i at the flap, meshed in the way that i love it and best of all, it is LIGHT.
*blink-blink*

will try it out tmr on treadmill tmr cos im still aching esp at the thighs due to thu's 8.75kg deadlift.
tmr is oso room-packing day. hope i can be done by 3pm... :)

It's almost time to change the blogskin again.
why?
Cause March is coming!! olei-olei-olei

melissa loves changes.
melissa gets bored easily... that's why her notebooks are still as colourful.
typical gemini.

about the shoe from heaven, no i dun have it yet. still saving lo. see how i progress in studies first. once again, common tests are wake-up calls. it starts the momentum.

trng was better today. prolly sat is sea rowing so gotta chiong and quickly strengten so can row like nth happened? wad a theory.

btw met phillip (head of NTU sports club) just now to get e surf and sweat bags. he looked so different! bespectacled and fair-er..the exact opposite when i last saw him. no wonder he's frm NTU. wait till he tans again. *squeals* he's still sweet nonetheless.
haha, after being in DB for one sem plus, i finally understand the difference between fair and tan.

k tmr's my last CT paper- Electrical Principles and Circuits (ECP).
to be frank, i'm very much uncertain over the outcome of the mahts paper (was on mon) and today's analogue. lots of last minute diligence on my part that rebounded back, resulting in futile effort.

on a lighter note, am listening to Reu's latest "I am Ultimecia". i must say, it's professionally done... so, W-O-W. if not for the FFVIII highlight... :x sounds even better than Maksim.

sometimes i wunder wad's happening to me. cant deny that i'm not as zealous as before in trng. is it cos of my 3 wks inactivity or me not showing any improvement. yes, i almost dieded during y.dae's trng cos i wasnT able to keep up. Za, Jo and Jazz made sure i was still alive. THANK YOU. :)
my diet crashed on me too. i was literally running on minus something. darfo, im leaking lactic acid everywhere cept my head... guess this will continue til i regain my strength.

i just dun wanna gain back the weight i lost... in fact, i refuse. still embarking on another 5kg loss but had to make sure it's FATs im losing... not water and muscles. but how liddat? with trngs resumed and the mc ritchie race in wk 14 i.e late march. *snorrezzzz* >>someone wake melissa up from her dreamy dream<< i just HAVE to lose that 5... or else.... or else..... i wun even think abt it. it MUST happen.

IT WILL.

after a hard day at school, moo was retiring in the mrt ride back yishun when she overheard an innocuous conversation between Father(F) and Little Girl(G), who was resting comfortably in his arms.

Upon reaching Khatib Station...
G: *innocently* Why are we going Khatib?
F: (in a warm fatherly tone) To get Milk powder for Ah ma
G: (in disgust) Eee So SHAMEFUL. Ah ma still drink Milk!!
F: It's not shameful. Adult drink Adult Milk, Children drink Children Milk
[I then pondered over this statement real hard. What have English Language mutated to these days?!]
G: Then can you drink Milk??
F: Yes, I can but I don't like. I prefer Beer. *with a hint of gusto*
G: (in a disapproving manner) hUhhh... Why don't drink Milk?! [obviously she's confused over "Adult drink Adult Milk, Children drink Children Milk". Father is contradicting himself]
G: (...continuing) Mine's very Sweet... ....

At this point, my insides were bubbling with explosive laughter. But to prevent public humiliation, i pretended as if i was having a bad cough and meddled with my HP (shutting their conversation off at the same time).

Amusing, isnt it. :D

bought this and made an order for the FINAL FANTASY VIII orchestra version
in betw class. like i'm friggin rich right. not. realized this kinda genre helped stepped my concentration. the price, of course, is as beautiful as the tracks. average is $65. the alubum in pic costs slightly less.
first time travelling from sch to heerens, passing doghouse and back... tho a lil late for the last lesson which is so #%$@^%#%^$& time seemed to crawl by.

wasNT in the best of shape after class. duper blurred today *.* even broke a glass cup this morning. x(
went FJ for chicken macaroni and studied. then Za came up in front of me when i was abt to leave. it was pleasant seeing her again :) went back to yishun together.

loaded home with protein bars ;) bye-bye to frequent dinners. i can foresee being 3 kg lighter than now by mid april.
as for the asics shoes, i might not get it so soon. see how it goes after tue's trng. guess i'll stick with reebok cushiony for now.

ALL THE BEST TO ALL TAKING EXAMS NEXT WEEK!! melissa will always support u :) keep chiong-ing.

have u ever cried yourself to sleep cos u missed someone so badly? i did..

kung, my lab partner for the triple sciences in GRSS days & an E1 good budd, came over to the hotel my family put up at y.dae evening. it was sooo great seeing her again.. caught up on her life there in Bangkok before her dad picked us from there and brought us to her shophouse home to switch the jeep to a minivan then it was abt 40 mins ride to King of Seafood. we sat jap style at this kampong like dining area with water surrounding us. i'm not a big fan of seafood tho, except for fish darfo the good company and beautiful scenery made ur for dat.

that was my last nite in Bangkok. cried cos i already begun to miss her. we parted with a huggy. it'll be some time till i see her again...

the rest of the time spent there was on shopping (lotsa it!) and eating (mostly fish, my fav). bcos of shopping, i was automatically healed and could walk slightly better on the first & second day, walk like a proper homosapien on third and run on the last- to catch the departing bus on time.
after looking thru da cargo, i realized i din buy much stuff of immediate use. btw, if u see melissa being even more frenzied than usual, dun fret. her room had been hit by an earthqwark 12.9 on the Richter Scale plus CT around the corner and ongoing lessons.... (...)
still saving for an asics litewt running shoes. *grins* my recovery time is almost up. time to fly again.

i will complete the race
i'm officially busted but am ok... felt as tho i could carry on with sports if it isn't becos of the left knee tear. 7 stitches to patch it up, 5 injections around the area to numb the wound. after the surgeon completed his handiwork, my knee literally looked like a deep sea urchin cos the thread was bright blue and the knots of each stitch could be seen. so there goes my DB career at least for 2 weeks. apart from the left knee tear, which is most severe, i sustained superficial marks on left forearm, left abdominal and right knee. cause? i wasnt in the right frame of mind when i went for the race. stressed up spider- stress also la haiz... i can't go school til wed too.
Thanks jazz for taking care of me and seeing me home. We'll go for individual next year k? :D
