As a DESIGNER, you are receptive to ideas and experiences, and enjoy the beautiful things in life, yet you are also grounded and realistic about yourself and the world.
You have a quiet appreciation for beauty in all its forms – in nature, in people, and in human creations from architecture to movies. Instead of only focusing on functionality, you try to incorporate your good sense of style and taste into your choices.
At times you feel unsure of yourself, especially when confronted by other people. You aren't the kind of person who insists on having things your way all the time – you are willing to go along with other people's opinions, even if you disagree.
Others may not know this about you, but you are very interested in new ideas, thoughts, expressions, and experiences. You enjoy learning and trying new things. Although you are practical, you are anything but boring – you have depths to you that others cannot see. The idea of doing the same thing every day for the rest of your life scares you – you need more excitement and challenge than that!
You have a remarkable eye for detail and precision, noticing things that others miss. You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute. If you want to be different: Have faith in your ideas, and voice them more often. Your unique perspective needs to be shared! Allow yourself to become fully immersed in your dreams now and then. You can develop your aesthetic vision even further by allowing your imagination to flourish. Be as open to your own wishes as you are to those of others. Y
You are Generous
Your awareness of those around you, along with your nuanced perceptions of the world at large, makes you the GENEROUS person that you are. You value time to yourself and understand how rich your private world can be—you know that you don't have to go wild to have a good time. You are excited and energized by ideas and often enjoy things more through observation than through experience. This tendency gives you an appreciation for different perspectives and opinions about the world.
Being as aware of others as you are doesn't mean you find it easy to trust them immediately—this is something that happens more slowly for you. Despite this, you are aware of the complexities of many situations and are reluctant to pass judgments on others. Although you have fewer friendships than some people, those that you have are meaningful and are important to you.
You value spending time alone—it is while reflecting on the world around you that you often learn something new about yourself or begin to understand something that's been bothering you. You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.
If you want to be different: Given how attuned you are to others' thoughts and feelings, you might find that trusting people more is a way to broaden your perspective even further. While you know how much can be learned from observing the world around you, remember that much of life can be lived by experiencing it, not just by understanding it.
Actually, i considered this blog dead. Because I thought it didn't have much value in existing anyway. It's so public that I won't ever put up anything personal here, which defeats the whole purpose of a blog. From what I remember, it consisted of mostly stupid quizzes or just forwarded email content or mundane rambling. So I thought I'll have one last look at all my past entries before deleting its existence from cyberspace. Luckily I did. Even though my ability to express my thoughts and feelings is rather limited, reading many of those entries just transported me back in time. Even the most mundane of entries were significant in reflecting my life at that point in time, even if it just meant that my life was boring. Not to mention some of the entries that recorded some of my most embarrassing moments. Gosh, i wonder now, how I had the guts to put that up for public viewing. I guess I will try to keep this blog vaguely alive. Like maybe blog twice a year that kinda thing. :p What's the point of doing this then? To be euphemistic, it's for sentimentality and nostalgia. To look at it deeper, maybe I just need to cling on to memories. Sometimes I think that we lose a bit of ourselves with the passing of time.. it might be good to look back on written records once in a blue moon to reflect ourselves. Yup, so don't bother visiting this place any more often than say, twice a year? Though I think most people would have already been smart enough to do that long ago. Till then.
hais.. guess i'm jus too absent-minded.. probly didnt help tt i was qt tired.. left my wallet in the toilet cubicle. happily walked out n realised only TWO HOURS later when i felt like buying bao to eat. -_- the toilet auntie said tt there was a girl who picked up the wallet n told her abt it; toilet auntie told her to return to the general office. but when i asked the office at abt 2.30pm they said there were no wallets returned for today. mbe tt girl stil having lessons. really hope tt she returns it SOON. i feel insecure without my wallet. though there's only a measly 7 bucks, a national library card.. all tt NEOPRINTS n NEOCARDS. urgh. :(
on a happier note.. was pleasantly surprised by val's msg after trng. ST NICKS BAND GOT GOLD!!! :D haha.. really very happy for them.. accomplishing wat we failed to do n deliver a this long-awaited gold.. we have been waiting for it for TEN YRS! heh.. n to think i was kinda worried abt the jrs.. cos when we left their playing standard was qt worrying.. but luckily under ms sia they improved. snsb forever!! :)
had to 'teach' twice today. first was during math tutorial where we had to do an oral presentation in pairs on a certain topic. val n me chose curve sketching. well, it's an easy topic w/o any difficult concepts.. but um.. somehow it wasn't as easy as imagined ba. i covered the part on the different kinds of curves. as my hands rushed to write apace with my talking, i ended up scribbling so watever tt was on the board were pretty much squiggly characters. many times i unknowingly talked to the board instead of talking to the class; or kinda talked to val for affirmation n ms wong had to remind me a few times of it.
then during chinese lesson, each of us supposed to prepare one song ci. i did "ru meng ling" by li qing zhao n to be honest, it's the shortest one of all the ci. :p i isnt dificult n i did my preparation.. writing the main pts on a small piece of paper. yet when i was standing in front of the class, i found myself speaking somewhat haltingly, unable to deliver a good flow of the pts tt i prepared. u noe before this i actually toyed with the idea of being a tcher.. now i seriously re-think it cos apparently teaching is not exactly my forte. dun ask me wat's my forte then. cos i dunno. haha.. shilei was damn funny. basically she read the notes last min n cos she didnt have any written card prompts watsoever to fall back on.. she pretty much smoked her way thru.. but it was really entertaining.. "um.. actually the notes are very comprehensive!" "su dong po's ci is different cos unlike li qing zhao tt kind, his are very WOAH" *gestures furiously* haha.. so after this mbe we shld be less critical towards our tchers.. like those who drone/ mumble/ very boring etc.. er..though most probly the effect is shortlived lah.. :p
heh.. this blog has been collecting dust for qt some time.. hm.. too caught up in the grind of everyday life to haf the energy to blog alot of the time.. i think j2 life really zaps the energy out of ppl.. like comparing my class of this yr n last yr.. this yr everyone is simply functioning on going for cca n doing hw. n so wat's new now?>>COMMON TESTS ARE COMING
yes. so all the ppl ard are beginning to feel the exam jitters. i'm so lagging in terms of memorising work n understanding of the subjects. then SDBA canoeing comp is like the wk b4 common tests. plus the absolutely fantastic common test timetable tt puts higher chinese n history on the same day.like WTH! either the timetable committee is insane or minority ppl like me are being sacrificed for the greater good of the cohort-- which obvly i cant see. :evil: my condolences to those taking bio n econs. they suffer the same fate. hais. are we being tested on our memorising capability or our knowledge?
today's the release of a level results. though it doesnt concern me directly since i didnt even take ao chi exam last yr, i'm feeling the dread of it. next day on this day. at a levels, the stakes are high. it's do or die. i mean in pri sch, if u screw up ur PSLE, u go to a less prestigious sec sch. in sec sch if u botch up o levels, depending on the extent, u can go to a neighbourhood jc/ poly/ ITE. one of these ways will get u some kind of paper qualifications tt is recognised by employers out there to give u a job in future so u wont starve to death. but an a levels cert is almost useless cos the pt of it is to get into uni. if u dun do well enuff to enter uni, it's only marginally or even regarded as the same as an o level cert. 2 yrs wasted. worse if u're in the middle of nowhere.. not doing badly enuff to retake the entire thing yet CMI to uni. n competition is so much higher now. oh well, everything in life is a competition.. from getting the A grades to sports to getting a seat of the bus.. it's nv-ending.
i HATE losing things. esp things tt are gifts frm other ppl. stupid as it sounds.. i think someone stole my pencil case. 10 mins after i realised i lost it, i went back to find but it wasn't there. the general office only has an ugly old pencil case which isnt mine. yest till today, tt idiot hasnt gave it to the general office. wth..i noe my pencil case v nice but GIVE IT BACK TO ME! whoever took it: if u're in desperate need of stationery, take watever u want.. jus return me the pencil case ok? hais, the loss hasnt really registered to me.. every time i need to write smth i still reach for tt compartment of my bag, feeling my heart sink when i rmbed tt i had lost it. grr.
today was the 1st water trng since Jan 1. missed rowing so much. but wat a way to start. cos got many jrs today, so pairings n craft had to change. i took the k1 for the 1st time today. i think things were fine until i started capping. mbe the fear got to me.. mbe it was the waves caused by the changing of shifts of the police coast guard.. i kept capping after tt. esp jus when the called "nj go back!". time on k1 passed really slowly. i cldnt wait to get back to shore. but somehow i jus got stuck at the 750m mark there NEAR THE ROCKS. chew saved me. i capped. save. cap. save. cap. the currents pushed us into the rocks there. stood up to get into the boat n stepped on the rocks. tried to get out of the rocks area cos it was too difficult to get in at there. so more cuts. altgt 5.. luckily minor ones.. michelle had it bad.. deep cut.. anw, cos it seemed like we're nv ever getting back to shore if i continued with k1, swapped with chew's t1. n when we finally made it back to kallang shore.. woah.. SUPER low tide. we were wading in mud. had a terrible time washing up all the equipment. hais. i've always felt tt it's terrible to row k1. n now i've developed another kind of respect for k1 rowers.
yest was the chalet at east coast.. haha,qt enjoyed it.. esp the preparation. went to shop n save in beauty world supposed to meet michelle,peishan,rachel n jasmin to buy the ingredients for fried rice n pasta den go ps's hse to cook. but rachel had to come late cos she wasnt feeling well n jasmin wanted to go for a swim.haha,n ps overslept ("wat time is it now?"). so michelle n i did the shopping. heh,so malu when we were getting the spring onions. cos we only vaguely noe tt spring onions are green n long but there were a few kinds of veg looking abt the same like tt. picked up one, the tag said "koo chai".oops. took another one-no tag. decided to ask an auntie jus to be safe. "no lah! this is 'hua cai'! spring onion is over there!" :oops: later at ps's hse..it was a mad rush when we were frying the rice. cos we poured in some egg instead of putting the rice in first n the egg was supposed to coat the rice. "aahh! hurry hurry! aiya,no time le!" haha..but it was so gratifying smelling the aroma of the fried rice. mm. :D at ard 12+noon, jasmin n huiying came n suddenly the whole house became super noisy! haha..huiying cooked the minced chicken n pasta sauce n declared herself a great chef. hm..honestly i dunno how effective the camp has been in promoting interaction btwn the guys n girls team lah. i mean we still stuck with ourselves for most of the time. i myself cldnt recall much interacting with the guys except for mbe the few guys at the bbq pit. hah..but had fun with the girls though.. esp the intensive photo taking session. everyone jus went crazy with funny poses.. piggyback, indian hands-sticking-out poses etc. so in tt sense it was not bad lah.
yeah..spent xmas eve morning trng (we aren't the only team at kallang.. still got qt alot others too..so we're normal k! heh) after tt went to funan with a fren cos she wanted to buy a digicam.. haha.. can actually bargain one lor.. nv knew.. den went home for dinner..
after dinner is where the er..more complicated part comes in. cos my cousin wanted to give his sis a surprise bday celebration.. at kbox to sing karaoke.. at 1st he said go plaza sing one.. later say go to the one at chinatown n i'm supposed to drag her to chinatown n wait ard for my other cousins to come AND explain their presence. kaoz.. chinatown! i was desperately trying to think of excuses lah.. esp since she wanted to go PS to eat nice cake at secret recipe n watch a movie.. n i was like "dun wan lah.. town area so crowed", "i nv go chinatown b4 mah". n crap, there was a miscommunication somemore. i was told to bring her to chinatown mrt before 10.30pm but it actually was supposed to be at 10.30pm..we were there at 9.30pm. n to force her to go chinatown, i had to say tt i was meeting my fren cos she wanna pass me my xmas prez. so i thot jus bring her to walk ard lah. Hah. chinatown is absolutely happening at nite. the shops tt were open were swensens n macdonalds n bee cheng hiang n swensens n macdonalds n bee cheng hiang. so manyy rite?! took us all of 15 mins at snail pace to finish seeing everything. n so i was trying to distract her by talking crap.. abt her *ahem*..canoeing.. y-the-name- of- the-shop so weird..u get the drift. needless to say, wait so long.. she kept asking me when's my "fren" coming.. den when my other cousins arrived.. "eh? y are u all here??" worse is those ppl didnt noe it was supposed to be a surprise.. "huh? ur bro ask us to meet here mah." [me trying to wink n hint "SHE DOESNT KNOW ABT THIS!"]she started getting suspicious lah.. den we all trying to tell her tt there is NOTHING going on.. like tt's y they cldnt explain their presence there. :? n i thot my troubles were over but when i called him he said cldnt get the room yet n actually the booked slot is 11pm. another half an hr! den nearing 11 i haf to suddenly say tt i'm meeting my fren somewhere else which only hong noes the way :|, we like walked in rounds to waste time a bit.. sat outside macs n avoid her gaze.. den suddenly ok let's go.. n walk into a semi-dark building into somewhere with a big sign tt says Kbox. haha. yup..so we were murdering the songs singing frm 11pm to 4am. hah..so long nv meet up with them n haf fun like tt.. singing ancient songs of michael learns to rock n backstreet boys n spice girls.. brings back memories of childhood.. :)
yep.. the prev few days.. i was away for canoeing camp 25-27th nov... ppl, do not ask me to go cycling any time soon.. i wld think 30km of it is qt enuff..butt pain :s.. did long-dist running, swimming, cycling n kayaking.. so tiring.. haha.. at least we're having a 3 day break.. real break, dun even haf study sessions.. haha.. n hw? shall leave it to the nxt study session.. :p
yup..tmr n sun.we're gonna have the singapore river dragonboat regatta... sat are the heats n some semi-finals den sun the rest of the semis n finals lah.. haa.. it's gonna be the first DB comp we're facing without our snrs.. n it's now up to us to defend the men's n mixed open titles! esp for the girls.. we must show them our passion n determination yeah? we can/must/will do it! :)
canoeists have no life. :( wed to sat water trainings.. sun optional. optional's definition to mr yong means- if u dun go it shows tt u think u're v gd n tt ur attitude is wrong. dun get me wrong..he's a gd coach n all cos without him njcanoeing wldnt be where it is today..his definitionto some extent it's probly true but it jus lies in how seriously it is taken to be. anw.. besides trainings..non-water-training days like mon n tues rite.. we'll be having morning training in sch at 7.30am. after which we'll have study session frm 9 to 4. [it was 9 to 5 actually. he said "i'll cut short study sessions" *hopeful eyes looking at him* "it'll be frm 9 to 4". :|] hah..but not to worry lah..tt doesnt mean i'm completely unavailable.. jus ask me n i'll see how yah?
yay! pw is finally over :D.. yest was the OP.. hah..it was like..all tt 6 mths of pain..super relieved.. our presentation came after a thankfully not too fantastic grp.. our individual presentation was qt ok lah..though it was a pity tt henry blanked out a bit nearly the end of his speech cos he wasnt holding his script n he delivered the prev part pretty well.. haha..but all of us jus died at the Q&A part lah.. wth..stupid cookie monster--one of the econs tchers..she asked qns like"have u found this out thru ur surveys? how does it show? can u tell me the percentages?" sorry but i jus dun see how is it reasonable for us to memorise all tt statistics.. tt wasnt my qn luckily..i managed to crap smth out..er..dunno how convincing it was but heck lah!
went to buy new running shoes this afternoon with xt after her lit lesson cos my current pair is wearing out soon n i only haf one pair of running shoes..which means i'd die if it rains. damn stressed abt keeping my shoes dry sometimes.. haha..
decided to get asics cos heard it's not bad n it's made specifically for running.. nvm tt i used to be so ignorant to think tt it's an overpriced oolu brand. :oops: went to queensway.. den since the other time when our team went to asics store in plaza sing we saw tt there was actually diff kinds of running shoes like racer, cross-training etc..we were hoping to find out the diffs between the shoes esp cos they all look the same as asics dun seem to bother much abt their designs, all look abt the same. turned out tt alot of them actually oso dunno. there was even one uncle..qt ridiculous to me lah.. his ans to our qn of "wats the diff" is :"oh, u look at the prices lah, the more expensive the better the quality lor". :roll" alright.. i mean prices do somewhat indicate the product's quality but in anuy case, i thot tt was a stupid ans. moved on to another shop.. at first the guy seemed qt stumped by our qns...but later got better lah.. he at least more or less noe smth abt the shoes.. actually was qt impressed by his service..cos he was v patient with us. we were like "wat's this"-ing every pair of shoes on the racks n he really tried to ans all of it..bothering to ask his colleague when he didnt noe. i mean esp i've seen so many salesppl who were either impatient or half-hearted in serving students/kids like us..whom they presume are wasting their time n energy cos of our lower purchasing power. yep..got this gel-kayano pair..largely concrete with some part with pale blue. i won't say the design is fantastic but it's ok lah. at 1st i was rather intimidated by the price though. the price tag said $242 lahs.. luckily tt was the b4-discount price. after discount was $160..haha..feel so happy at the price drop.. :p but really lah..shoes at queensway are generally cheaper than in other places cos of the intense competition..every 10 steps u'll find a sports shop.
But mum was darn irritating lah. she was like "wah,so rich ah..since u can pay for it den no need to claim money lah..buy alr wat." *pukes blood* my savings! :( den dunno wats her prob..started screaming at me abt the fila sneakers i bought previously. cos last time i thot sneakers can oso be used for running, jus tt it wld be less comfortable. n oso i thot i cld wear it to go out mah. but learnt the hard way tt sneakers kills ur ankle if u use it to run seriously. once, after running on the treadmill for jus 20min..my ankles started to hurt..n it hurt like shit for the nxt few days. so mum scolded me for wasting money..shld haf bought smth which i can run in which is more practical..yada yada yada. i was rather fed up with her cos this is like the how-many-millioneth time she was harping on this issue. really lor..as if scolding me wld get me a refund of those sneakers..dunno wats her prob. :roll:
got back promos results today. hafnt got back all the scripts yet lah..only hcl n econs mcq..supposedly getting it back on fri. so got to noe of our grades from e class list lah. hm..i'd say i'm relieved by my results.. cos i was expecting a BEEE n worrying tt i mite get an O. but qt lucky lah.. got BCDE in the end..hcl,history,econs n math..gp got C4 though. aahh..dunno which class i'm gonna end up in.. hais.. gonna be separated frm cherlynn n xuemei :( yeah..n dunno how i can be one of the ten ppl in my class to qualify for s-paper.cos supposedly haf to get a minimum of BCC for best 3,with B in the subj u wanna take s-paper for.. den nj doesnt offer hcl s-paper cos only chi LEP ppl can take :? but anw,the most irritating part is when i told my mum.
mum: huh? how come dun even haf a single A? thot ur chi not bad one?
me: ma,it's A levels! not sec sch anymore! my class out of 16 only got 5 get A. in fact i got a high B, only 2 mks short of an A. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p; ;
mum: den how come u cannot get tt 2 more mks? &nb sp; &nbs p; ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp;
imagine a hundred over boats at the startline..ready for a mass start. guy,girls, Ts, Ks all tgt. terrible lah.it so cramped up..at one pt i dun even haf space to put my paddle in. den when i tilted..ended up tapping=hitting the boat on my right. :oops: when the horn sounded,the first line of ppl zoomed off n the backwash created was damn powerful..nv knew the extent of the power of backwash till today. reservoir water normally is considered flat water but it was worse than kallang river lah..i felt like i was rowing in the open sea. becos of the backwash resulting in waves>>boats turning in diff directions n banging into other boats>>> boats capping at the startline.
mine didnt cap but it was bad too..cos of the backwash the rudder responded slower the direction changes.. n considering tt my direction on normal water was alr horrible..ahem..yeah.. hm..qt guilty for causing a MJ T1 to cap :?. at 1st he was blocking our path n can see he was struggling with direction oso lah..but he was zig-zagging left-right in front of us so kena scolded by my partner.. den when we rushed past him..think our backwash caused him to cap lor..n he got scolded somemore cos he tried to hold on to our boat.. in summary..it was not a v nice race lah..keep having to avoid ppl..with my lousy direction-ctrl skills.. :(
we rowed ard the perimeter of the reservoir...it was supposedly 5 km but think actually it was less..mr yong said it was abt 3+km only. haha..but thank gdness after today,probly dun haf to row there anymore. kallang is still the best despite the filthy water..at least can bathe..n got all the washing n storage facilities..n the ground is nicer to walk on..dun haf the stones to hurt ur feet..though got some '"little durian" fruit to irritate u occasionally...oh well..it was new experience i guess.
i so hate pw now. nth to do with my grp ppl but it's the wk. tmr got comp at bedok reservoir. 5 km K2 with huiying. it's in conjunction with the opening of the water sports in reservoirs i think. it sux lah.. dun haf proper washing/storage/bathing facilities. only got one small pathetic tent. we haf to leave all out boats on the grass with stones (ouch) overnight lor. they say got someone help us look after. watever lahs. haf to meet super early tmr..645 at bedok mrt. it's 2255 now n my stuff all not packed yet.. stuck online with this pw thingy.i wanna sleep!!!
yeah..these days i haf no idea wat i'm gonna do when i'm in sch.. only noe tt i haf training in the morning. jus go along with wat i'm told on the day itself. so sian lah.. oh well,sch is hardly exiciting in any case, lessons or otherwise. this morn,the 1st period of the day is breakfast. den the super boring s-cube talk--spent the time productively making souvenirs for canoeing for the coming Opening Day which is on this sat16 oct. lunch. went ocs for the nxt part of the s-cube program. hm..it was qt interesting lah..but it was so long. started off v boringly cos the officers were going on n on abt how many hectares n wat-by-wat the parade square is, how high the SAF tower is,n lame significances of the stuff there like y is the SAF tower triangular--cos rep infantry,navy & airforce..yadayadayada.. -_-
but to their credit there were better ones as well. the officers cadets mess--nicely air-conditioned where the ppl there can haf a few drinks.. showcased their various uniforms n the backpack stuff. haha..the combat pack is really heavy..with their magazine ammunition n wat not.. so uncomfortable somemore lah! i tried carrying it n haha ahem.. hm,jus feel myself inclining backwards (n i think tt guy was still holding some of the weight of it for me :p) it made me recall how i hated the run with my sch bag when we get off the bus n run to KLSSC for trng..so tiring! to think my sch bag was so much lighter n has better support than the army one. haha.. thank gdness i'm female.
oso went to see their foodstuff..their rations are qt high-tech--with diff flavours such as red bean in coconut milk, fried spaghetti etc. packets of liquidly stuff which u throw into hot water, made in the same way as astronaut food. qt cool n reasonably nice lah.
hm..after promos life is qt slack..at least for now.. but then in line with mr yong's belief of consistency.. study sessions are gonna start tmr :( training being stepped up is expected lah..jus tt cos of the weird timetable now, it gets shifted ard so any time the msg is passed down,we jus haf to go down for training lah. haha..sorta back to no-life days..
hah..these few days every other person in sch is either ponning lessons or ponning sch..even the tchers are all mentally prepared to see only a dismal no. of students,tt is if any turn up at all.esp today,more than half the class went home at 1220 after econs lect.8/24 ppl turned up for hist lect & by the time it came to pe..only me,val,cherlynn & henry appeared.haha.. nevertheless, pe was still fun..played tennis..haha..it was so hilarious cos of our (namely me,val n cher) not-too-fantastic tennis skills..hit dunno-how-many balls out of the court :p..heehee..
hm..it's weird lah..a few days ago i was on this i'm-nv-gonna-make-it-for- promos mood & now i'm in aiya-heck-care-lah mood..haha..does tt explain y i'm blogging now instead of mugging? hais..jus cant wait for promos to be over lah!

yeah..though i havent gotten my promos timetable yet cos i was absent frm sch on the last day of sch b4 term break [not tt i wanna see it now anw],i'm feeling like i'm preparing for prelims or Os.. it's only promos.. if u think abt it we have had promos since p1 so wat's the big deal? guess it's diff cos now everyone noes how real n possible getting retained is unlike in the past when we can jus breeze thru with minimal studying/last min half-hearted efforts [falling asleep halfway thru studying n waking up to the exam morning]..aaaahhhh!!! y is there so MUCH to study?? whoever said live everyday like ur last is totally unrealistic cos if tt was the case no one wld work or study..read the sunday times column saying smth abt some healthworker who worked with the dying n she found out tt all of them said they regretted working so hard n playing too little..no one said they wished they worked an extra day in the wk.. if u think how much all these exams will count when u're dying..somehow studying for it seems like such a waste of time rite? so y bother?
ok..i noe i shldnt be procrastinating so much since none of this will help in any way for promos cos i still haf to live in reality..look on the bright side n all blah blah blah..envy those who can slack n breeze thru like cherlynn low! haha..k lahs shall stop here.
yeah..so not tt long ago..i mentioned i'll be taking part in a rowing marathon rite? well,tt has been postponed to early nxt yr i think.. anw, now got another one! it's a running one.yeah..n the diff thing abt it is tt we can sign up as a team..the winning team is the one which has the most number of ppl coming in first i think? haha..to be honest.. i'm not tt brave.. i'm a cowardly bloody coward.. was rather hesitant n apprehensive abt it cos i nv even ran 10 km before, much less 21! yeah.. but then i see xt so enthu n excited abt it..oso motivated lah.. i mean, jus think abt the sense of achievement i'll get after running it.. like wat mr yong say..it's a milestone tt after doing it..i'll become a diff person.. so..to my fellow teammates: go ppl! we can do it tgt! yup..we'll train hard for it! :)
