this place's dusty!!

Wow. This place is dusty. Oh man. Haven’t been updating much have I? Quite some people are already complaining. Haha! My bad my bad. =)

Okay. Let’s see… quite a few things are up in my head.

Firstly, I would like to thank you girls so much for turning up at my church to see me give my ‘speech’. Haha. Really appreciate it. I know you guys got kinda bored halfway through the entire service… haha. Anyways, I’m really glad that you came! =)

And you! Who was supposed to be asleep when you called before I shared my testimony! Thanks for clearing my head whilst waiting for my turn to share. You were a GOOD distraction. Heh. And yes, it went perfectly well. I think my Chinese is not that bad after all. Ha! =) time to brush up on yours! I shall send you a copy soon. I’ll TRY to send it soon. *fingers crossed*

Next up! Had physio a few days back. Did the biodex tests. Well, the biodex is this really huge machine that tests the strength of the quads and hamstrings and many other muscles groups. So here are the results…

RIGHT QUADS: 152.1lbs
LEFT QUADS: 165.0lbs
Deficit -8.5%

RIGHT H/S: 89.0lbs
LEFT H/S: 74.5lbs
Deficit: 19.9%

So I read the legend when I got the results…
1-10% = No significant difference between extremities.
11-25% = Rehabilitation recommended to improve muscle performance balance.
>25% = Significant functional impairment.

Well, it’s quite obvious that my left hamstrings are much weaker than my right. That’s kinda expected… BUT! Haha. A negative value for deficit was not explained in the legend. Couldn’t be that bad would it? Well apparently not. It’s bad, but not too bad. Depending on how you look at it. -8.5% means that my left quads are 8.5% STRONGER than my right. Cool huh? The phyios were surprised too. Guess all that gymming’s starting to pay off. Time to work more on the H/S.

Went for a little ‘tanning’ today. Went to shoot some hoops. Haha! I’m gonna miss my free Fridays. Lab work’s starting next Friday. Shoots. And I’ll be piled with lab reports…Crap. Think ling got a little burnt today. Right? Haha. Anyways, we ought to pay Celest a visit one day. Maybe we can ‘kope’ some mooncakes from her. Raffles hotel right? High class mooncakes that we cannot afford. Haha. =)

Wanted to pay my primary school teachers a visit today. Couldn’t wake up. Hah! Slept a mite too late last night. But owells, everything happens for a reason. Yes yes. And you! You know who you are… no matter what, you know the few of us will always be right here with you, alright? Do what you need to do… do what is right. And not let temptation overcome you, ya? Take care! =)

LING! How’re you in the States? Haven’t heard from you for quite a while… How’s everything going? Have you hooked up with Jess? Hehe. Hope to hear from you.

And dear XS. Haha. Kinda pity that you didn’t receive my reply. I guess we were BOTH muddle-heads. Haha. SO! You thought of name yet? Hee.

Okays. What else?? I feel like ranting about school work but I think that’s gonna take a really long time. So, to cut things short, I’m back to my ‘hair-pulling’ habits and soon enough there won’t be much of it left. Hah!

I guess… that’s all for now. I shall slack and play some football manager, listen to some music. Hehe. =) Mugging shall continue on Sunday.

It's already sunday

Wow. It’s already Sunday. Time is flying by too quickly.

--

Thursday: Rush hour 3, Vivo, Republic. Water down the front, water in between. My apologies. Haha! Like you said, all for the fun of it. Right? Thanks for the shirt. Mum thinks it’s sexy. Oops.

Friday: Skipped the lecture. Decided to stay in Bishan. Played some MJ. Dinner has a little queasy effect on me.

Saturday: Gym in the morning. Thank you for your gift from Vietnam. Haha. People were staring. Oh, we’re all gonna wear the same shirt when we celebrate your birthday. This time round, you’ll see five stars instead of one. =)

Mugging in the afternoon. 3hours of webcast of material science. Not that hard to digest. Much better than crystals & symmetry and applied chem..

Dinner at home. Soccer. Sunderland won. Yay. Liverpool won. Boo. Newcastle won. Yay. Hah!

Sunday: Breakfast with family at AMK. I don’t like what I saw. Sighs. Tuition with Benjamin. Stayed back in church for the full dress rehearsal.

And so… a new week beckons. Dreading it somehow. Seriously considering flat rentals.

LING! Who’s that guy who’s making you happy?

--

I found ‘kiss the girls’. Finally.

Like I said, I’m spending too much on a guy. Yes, a guy. This is not good. But it’s all worthwhile… he makes me fantasize, he makes me happy. He indulges me in a world free of worries, full of excitement.

Patterson’s the name. I’m spending too much on his books. 25books now and counting.

No matter how many times you need to try to get it right, you just keep trying till you get it right. There’re no other ways… right?

--

Yes. These are my problems.

Indeed the black spots on white area are few and unimportant. But that’s how it works in my head I guess. Focusing on the black.

Walking in another person’s skin too often is my flaw too. It’s burdening.

--

I’m sorry if I’ve dissected you up, in and out. But I really thought that you should know what my thought and perceptions were.

I shall stop if you’re not pleased.

因为他是万王万之王。
因为他是万主万之主。

他是我的主，我的王，我要敬拜他。

High

Day 2.

Train ride was better. Woke up ten minutes earlier and the crowd wasn’t that bad. Or maybe cause it is Tuesday? Don’t know.

Lecture starts at 0830. Called Joel at 0815 and he was still asleep. OH man. How I miss the luxury of owning a hostel room.

Almost had introduction to thermodynamics. Had to re-read the notes two times to grasp everything.

Caught up with Eric, Rick and Songyi. All of them doing Mechanical. Makes me wonder if switching to Materials Science was a good idea. Owells. I’m happy with where I am. =)

Had the first lecture for Human Resource Management and Entrepreneurship. 3 hour lecture. Ended in 2.5hours. Interesting video named ‘WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?’. Thought it was rather cool. Haha.

Had hot choc at Spinelli. Touched up on my tutorials. Thanks for the new t-shirt! I shall try and do some stretching to it.

Went to the basketball court and shoot some hoops. Good to be there again. No jumping though. Played ABC+3-2-1 alone. Total of 17 shots to completed the circuit. Missed 24times on the first try. Missed 14times on the second. 16 on the third. And 4 on the last. Ended on a high. I’m happy. =)

Long day ahead tomorrow. Electives. Can you believe it? If I don’t get the modules I want, I’ll be taking this mod called Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s conducted by Chinese lecturers, IN CHINESE. Goodness. Fingers crossed.

Time to knock out. Nights people. Enjoy your holidays. =)

drained.

Day one.

Insane. The people on the train at Jurong East were insane. I was literally squashed to a prata on the train. I wonder why the people insists on boarding the train even though it’s fully packed. And I mean FULLY packed. Worst than sardines in a can. You can smell the socks of the person standing beside you. Well, almost.

It’s bad.

I need a space in the hostels.
I need to sleep.

--

Almost got killed by math. Numerical methods. All the numbers…..!!! madness.

Most certainly got killed by Chemistry. Applied Chemistry to be exact. So you think significant numbers and decimal places are easy? Think again. And here comes Mr Moles again. Molar calculation. And I thought it was easy. Until they start playing around with the blardy units. Goodness.

Need sleep now. Finished my math tutorial. Half more of Chem tutorial to go. Joel says I’m crazy and should take it easy. I’m thinking of having a nice break this Thursday to Sunday. Shall be kiasu and complete my tutorials soon.

--

Went jogging just now. Think it was 2.4km. Didn’t really take note. Relying too much on my good leg. Not good not good.

Back aching again. Painkillers? Should I? hmmmm…

--

Happy birthday to you MADM! Hope you enjoyed your birthday celebration last weekend. Meet up soon? Have got something for ya.

--

Have got a couple of thoughts up in my head. Shall try and jot it down tomorrow. Now I need to rest. There is much squeezing to do tomorrow morning.

Last weekend before school

Gym day. Someone couldn’t wake up. How nice. Haha. We cycled, we jogged we rowed. Productive day. I’m gaining weight though. Not good not good. hah!

Went for physio yesterday morning. Knee is back to normal now. Good as new. KT2000 result shows that both knees have equal strength. So another 3 months of strength training and I would be officially back. YAY. =)

Had dinner at Botak’s yesterday evening. Someone PSed us. TSK. Had cheng teng at Kopitiam. Was there at 9+…? left at 1130pm. We really have quite a bit to talk about huh. =)

Went down for buffet dinner at cousin’s place. Nice condo.

Left for church. Was busy re-copying my testimony draft. Was there early for half an hour. Couldn’t complete with the copying when the rehearsal start. Guess I wrote quite a bit. Surprise surprise. Haha. A 1400 word Chinese essay. I’m amazed by myself.

Rehearsal went well. Got all the props and stuff noted down. Shall think of ways to improve the setting and deco. Hmmmm. Long time since I’ve been involved in a skit. Thank goodness I’m in charge of the logistics; not the acting. Haha.

Having tuition in 9hours time. Shall head to bed soon.

--

Hey you! Thanks for the prayer! Haha. So honoured to be one of the twenty people you’re praying for. Hehe. Coffee soon ya? =)

--

James Patterson is good. But you’re seriously reading too fast. Or maybe it’s just me being jealous.

I’m getting ‘the quickie’ on Monday. =)

--

Lover of my soul, You are all that I need.

August first

Okays. So they’ve dropped the charges. Haha. yes yes. Maybe I should do what Neo said. Sue them for everything that I can possibly sue them for, get a million dollars out of it, and quit school. Sounds like a plan. Hah!

Went for a second session of therapy for my back. The pain’s back. Bones are back in place, but the muscles are contracted for no good reason. URGH. All the crappy stuff are happening all at once. Hope they all go away before school starts.

Had diarrhea yesterday. Really bad diarrhea. My arse hurts. Took pills to stop the guzzling. And guess what? I’ve got constipation today. Sucks. SUCK BIG TIME! urrrrrgh.

Saw the optician today. New specs on the way! woots!

Let tomorrow be a better day. Let me go to the gym and work out my legs. And let the shit flow normally. Pardon my coarse language. =)

--

A twenty-something more hours to your birthday! Been reading your blog. Sounds like a really hectic schedule you’ve been trying to keep up with. Do try and enjoy your birthday celebrations alright? All is well. Don’t worry too much about tomorrows alright? 船到桥头自然直。

希望这生日会为你带无穷的快乐与幸福！

--

Hey you in the office! Hope your ‘DAY 2’ went well. Nothing major screwed up right? well, day 3’s on the way. You hang in there alright? =)

And hey, you should seriously consider my proposal: MC on 10th August. It’s worthwhile. Trust me. Ha!

--

Curry noodles was good. But I suspect it’s the thing that gave me diarrhea. Haha. No worries though, still lydd. Haha!

Botak this Friday. Don’t forget.

Hoon, Alv joining?

--

Goodness. You’re already onto your… what? 15, 16th book? That’s madness. All in a span on 2 weeks. Hey, you really should slow down a notch you know. JP doesn’t write THAT fast. Haha. =)

Oh man. More baking. You’re making me drool. URGH.

--

Haven’t I told you? Yawning is my way of showing my desire to keep awake. So let me yawn. Lest you want me to fall asleep.

Horlicks is good. I just bought a bottle of Horlicks powder. Hehe. YUmmmmm!

Thank you Lord, for blessing me with everything I have today. Amen.
