It's been a long time! =)
Wow, it's been at least 2 weeks since I've blog! Haha, and stupid duck keeps complaining! She's by far the most annoyingly cute person I know! :) There's nothing much to blog for the last past 2 weeks, however, last Sunday, there was the Master Series. The whole team went down in the early hours of the day to bedok reservoir. I met Shaun before that so we can head down to the venue together. I met him at Toa Payoh, I bought nasi lemak for breakfast and took bus 8 and changed to bus 23 where it stops us exactly outside the reservoir.
Haha, we all were in our tights and look quite weird, especially for me as I never wear them before. Seeing everyone wearing tights, made me quite high, haha, made me spank almost everyone's butt, but it was all just for fun. Guan Ren also tried to flick my cock. The tights maybe has some super natural powers that can turn everyone gay! Haha.
After we warmed up, Coach was calling out our names for the first heats. When he called out my name, boy was I gratified and thrilled that he did, many mixed feelings were felt, like excited that I could row and yet petrified that I would screw up cos I only have been for only 3 sea trainings. Anyways, I psyched myself to do my best and at the end of that 500m mark, no regrets. We all SUIT UP (how I met your mother...remember barney?) anyways, we wore our life jackets and took our paddles, we were ready to go. Coach lead a cheer before we went down and I could see the fire and the exigency to win!
The announcer called, "ARE YOU READY?!?!?!?!" and beeep, we were off. Did our strategy and the boat surge to our liking. However, the stroke rate was ridiculously high, and about the 150m mark we were all exhausted and like what coach said about just tapping water and trying on our luck to end the race as fast as possible. I think that really describes the situation very precisely. SP managed to clinched 1st in our heats as we chased them 3 seats behind. When I came out off the boat, I was thinking to myself, o boy were we gonna get hell from coach, I think this feeling was mutual amongst my team mates. Unfortunately, I was right, coach ranted all his anger on us and we deserved it cos the happened, happen when it was supposed not to happen. Coach even told us how to deal with it before we went down. So yar, can't blame coach for scolding the shit out of us.
Shortly after, it was the Semi Finals, Coach called the line ups for the boat and I was not in. I was disheartened but not setback cos I know I've my everlasting injury and I didn't train much, so there's not much to expect. Nevertheless, I sat at the shore and support my fellow teamates the best I can. This time Coach coaxed the boat, they came in third. And through God's grace we managed to get into the Grand Finals due to our timing.
For the Grand Finals, Coach called out the line ups and yet again I was not in his books, and yes, there was nothing to be disappointed about but except work harder when I've recovered. Anyways the Grand Final was quite a mesmerizing sight as Mountbatten pulled away 1 boat from the 2nd place, and 4 secs away from our boat. So, Mountbatten rightfully came in 1st followed by SIM, Ntu and Ngee Ann! We were 1 sec away from NTU, so we were about 1 and a half boat away from the 1st. This shows that we have to work extremely hard for June race, training is going to step up, and going to give all I can hopefully by then no injuries to hinder my progress :)
Shit I've got a test tomorrow, and it is freaking hard cos it is all memorizing stuff. Digital Communication Technology, yup the name even says it all, dull and yet difficult to absorb! Die. Anyways, I'll try to blog more okay ducky? Don't get you, you have tons of projects filling in, you keep complaining and managed to do them all within the deadline, yet you still can blog! You're a wonder woman! haha =)

School school and more school
Hello, I'm damn bored at home after training! Sigh, played Call of Duty 4 over and over again, that's how bored I am! :( Yup, today didn't have school cos my timetable is just like that, which is good, as I can slack at home =)
Today's training was the same routine, for me especially, except the sprinting. I'm still injured, which is very sickening as it has been a long injury. I wonder when the hell am I going to recover and do intense gyming, sigh. Facts hit me badly today as coach was saying that the argo meter has a crucial part for the June race seats. Must pull 950m or so to qualify into the boat, I think Ivp boat. Sigh, I haven't row and clock my distance properly since I was yr2 which is a very very long time ago, but the last time I only clocked 908m, which is terribly bad and demoralising. O well, what can I do when my wrist is still injured. Lol, every entry that I blogged includes me blabbing on about my stupid wrist.
I definitely can forget about rowing for Masters, as I didn't attend sea training for 3 weeks, but I tried my best to come for land training which I always do except for the time I got so called drunk. Really I am anticipating my recovery, can't wait to return to my original state, now I feel so handicapped, observing others grow stronger while I grow weaker! I feel that my running too has been slacking, i don't know why as I've been training my running. Sian, haha why why why! Maybe I should stop pushing so hard, and just be a couch potato and eat my life away, like that also can grow BIG or rather FAT! haha =)
Okay, I think I shall not write a compo haha, there's nothing much to blogged anyways, as school is routine just like what I have wrote preciously! :) Sigh, okay ending here =)
Oi, see guys, I've learnt to paragraph!! Happy now?!

Weekend's over! =(
Life's a routine, it can be amazingly interesting or it can be as dry as the desert! Mondays to Friday is school, train and school again, life cannot be anymore predictable than that! But thankfully there's weekends! Weekends are made for us all so we can distress ourselves and rejuvenate ourselves from the Mondays to Fridays!
My weekend was quite relaxing, just like any other weekends. I once again didn't attend training, as my wrist haven't recovered fully yet. Saturday morning was spent visiting the acupuncture at Serangoon road. Shaun recommended me to a physician, Ms Lo. Haha, I guess I should trust Shaun as he had a number of injuries! :) I reached the place slightly before 9, apparently, I tot Serangoon is very far from town. However, I was astonished as I found out that it was only 3 stop away from Dhoby Ghaut, it took only 5 mins! That's very fast and efficient, thumbs up for the Land Transport Authority! Haha, I know, I'm a mountain tortoise! Asked for Ms Lo, got my ticket for my treatment. She was doing afternoon shift so I had to come back again at 3pm! So I travelled to and fro running errands which made me felt like an adult. You know, adults always run around and run errands. Anyways, went to Serangoon bus interchange to eat breakfast alone. Found this noodle stall which has many recommendations from channel U or whatever, so I assumed it was good. Haha, bought minced meat noodles, which was tasty! Took 105 home as it was only 10 30am, boy was I wasting time.
Reached home, dad advised me to study but I just procrastinated and watched tv, and then went to sleep, haha, I'm so piggy! Around 2 45pm, left the house to go for the treatment, reached there and it was number 11 on the waiting list, i was 16. Eventually, at 4 10pm, Ms Lo, who a Hong Konger diagnosed me and started twisting my wrist and pressing me nerves and all. That didn't hurt, the agonising part was when she pull out her needles and inserted them onto my wrist! It was the first time and hopefully the last time I will ever go get an acupuncture! When she inserted the needles, you could actually feel your nerve getting contact, it hurts like hell! After she poke 5 needles in strategic points, I laid there for 20 mins. During the process, you could actually feel your blood flowing along your veins, and I felt slightly uncomfortable. When I accidentally moved my middle finger, I felt an excruciating pain biting my wrist. Haha, I was not supposed to move, I learned my lesson well! Thereafter, she took out the needles, and i was told that I couldn't eat spicy, sour or cold stuffs for a week. She told me that I could train next Saturday and not to do weights for at least a week! Looks like this injury has taken me a month or so to heal! =(
Met up with Ling @ Cathay to catch When In Vegas, the show was slightly delayed due to technical incompetence! Anyways the movie's hilarious that you will somehow laugh out your guts! But just like any love ending, all is perfect, main cast fall in love blah blah. Why can't they change the ending? Ending is so predictable why don't they make someone die or someone cheat or someone something! HAHA :) Ate at food court at PS, 1st time I didn't eat my food with chilli, it was so blend! Serene came over to my house, watched tv, as we waited for my parents to come back, so I could send the princess back in her silver chariot! She bought my mum a gift for mother's day and didn't get any for her own mum! Haha, stupid boot licker, shall ask my mum to step on mud, see whether you still wanna be a boot licker! haha =) Sent the ducky home, and reached home at 140am!
The next day, Sunday, couldn't wake up for morning mass, went in the evening. Today like all Sundays was just relaxing and dull, no action what so ever. Watched tv like a potato couch and went for church. Before going for church, drove to Lingsie's house to get my medicine which was left in her hand bag the day before. Haha, if you want me to see you then say so, don't hide my things and be so sneaky! Haha :) Well, tmr's school, another 5 days of torment, yup life's a routine!
Haha, better anot John Bean, the font? =)

1 More day to Weekend Getaways! Woohoo!
Well, didn't blog for most of the week cos i'm just plain lazy! Just like what Lingsie the self proclaim Goddess/Princess/All the crap that she thinks she sounds cute naming herself! Anyways nothing much really happened that's why i there's isn't the need to blog! Haha unlike Ducky whom always blog about her print journal, her articles, her deadlines and so on and so forth! Boring! Haha, oh boy, am I in deep trouble when she reads this, which she will cos she stalks my blog. Haha! Anyways, I've seen a drastic drop in numbers of freshies turning up for training already, a great significant number. O well, it is expected, dragon boat is not for the faint hearted but for the psychotic and determined! Haha, but I'm quite a slacker as HAI always like to say.......SLACKER ALSO CAN RUN 9 min! *Flex my saggy biceps which never feel 5kg in 3 weeks! Haha kidding =) But seriously, damn sick of looking in the mirror and disgusted when I pinch myself and feel flabby!
Thursday's training was good as I could join my own batch in running! I mean that's the only shit I could do! But was quite intimidated cos the day before, I did 5 sets of 100m sprinting with Chee, Nic and Close Man! haha, so my legs were quite cramped up and a relentless stinging pain on my left calve! But nevertheless, managed to just run the program Wen Wei had planned. Which was 400mX6, don't know whether he got the idea from me cos on Wednesday, I told him to try the 400 meters sprinting just like what Owen did. Anything Owen did, that monkey will do eventually! Haha!
I'm going to go Sim Lim's to get my solar panel checked out for my FYP! Going after lunch! O boy, school can be a nuisance! Hopefully, I'll do more sprinting again after checking out my stuff, and hopefully someone will company me in running! Running these days have been a torment rather than joy cos the only thing I can do is run. Compared to last time, I could gym and then run, running was just relaxing in someways after gym but definitely not just continuous running...spells boredom all over my face! =) Weekends coming! Come faster bitch!
Love this picture cos it was dinner time and i was famished! Boy, was I lucky when a Duck came running along and sat beside me! Haha, you see how happy was I? A sumptuous duck feast waited upon me! :)Tough times don't last, tough men do!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!
Saturday!!!
It was Saturday! Weekend finally arrived! Didn't attend training again cos of my wrist injury which haven't heal! It's been like 2 weeks since I've gym, the only form of exercise that I do is running! Anyways, 3rd of May is my Dad's Birthday! Wooohoo! Sooo, for the whole afternoon, I was just lazing around the house, watching tv and using the computer! My dad told me to go and study but I kept dodging him and went upstairs to my room to sleep! Haha, I can't seem to get the motivation to get cracking on my work. I mean the only work I have now is to do my final year project, which is a tedious one. Or I can read my robotic lecture notes which I didn't have a clue on what was going on! O well, me and my stupid course! At 3 or so, my mom and I went to see the chinese physician, that guy was cold and unfriendly. The funny thing was that he communicated in the language which I'm not very sure about, that is Mandarin! Haha, my mom's chinese is as bad as mine, so you can imagine how foolish did we look, trying to decipher what on earth was he talking about! He massaged me for around 5 mins, and that was it, paid through our nose. 26 dollars, like really WTF, 5 mins of massage, you pay that amount..anyways, I've got a bandage now, so I look more hurt, haha! Around 5 plus, Alrick came over our house. I got dressed up and my sis and Alrick went to get to a gift for my Dad. On the way we picked up a stray duck at wheellock haha, yup my SuperDuck! Alrick drove Ling and I to lucky plaza where I got my dad Bvlgari cologne! Then the four of us headed to Serangoon where the French restaurant was! When the whole family arrived, we were seated. The ambiance of the restaurant was quite coffee shop like, cos it didn't have any air con or whatever, it was an open space. Anyways, everyone ordered, my dad, mum and I shared an angus rib steak. Lol, Angus...didn't know angus was a cow too, okay lame.. anyways the chef told us that Angus is the type of the cow, it is different from normal cow. Okay anyways, the food was simply gastronomically appetizing! I ate food that you don't normally see on average person's plate. Like we ate escargot with garlic and bread, nice combination, so was the chicken liver with bread, that was sooo good! And we had goose liver, which is something that I always wanted to try when I watched Antony Bourdain's food show. Wow, that was seriously mind blowing, the goose liver was served with spinach, boy was the goose liver good, it literally melts in your mouth! Too bad Lingsie didn't wanna give it a try, she doesn't know what she is missing! Or maybe cos gooses and ducks are quite close and related.. haha! That wasn't it, still had onion soup and mussels for appetizer! For main course, I had the Angus steak, it was out of the world good! Never tasted anything like it! It was steak but it's more tender and succulent, boy, I must have more of that! But it was quite expensive , $88 for 1.2kg of prime rib Angus beef, shared by 3...hmm quite okay! Anyways everyone was satisfied with their meal, ducky had salmon and spinach, which was good too, man, I need to learn how to cook like that! Haha, after the sumptuous meal, we headed back home to blow cake! Yup, our family traditional cake, haha, the one I had for my birthday, the one that Jun Bin had for his birthday! The cake was again good, top was chocolate layered, in the middle section was sponge and the bottom's the best, cornflakes stick together. Each of the three layers really compliment each other well. After all the eating, my stomach was bloated! I hate it when I eat too much, but I can't help it, FOOD is my Achilles' heel! Had lots of fun that Saturday night, sent ducky back to her pond and that's how my beautiful and entertaining Saturday ended! :)
The Chew's Traditional Cake!
Sundays...either I wake up to go for training or wake up to go worship. Or like today..woke up very late, like 12 and do nothing. That's my Sundays, boring. Haha, today I woke up at 12, bathed, and went with the family to have lunch. Yup didn't go training again, cos of my antagonizing wrist injury! Really sucks to have injuries upon you and you can't train! Hope I won't be lagging so far behind when I'm able again. Went to Great World City to have lunch, ate korean at the food court. Then went to Cold Storage to do some grocery shopping for Nicholas, he was leaving today for Taiwan, army training. Went home, slept my ass off, and got ready to go for evening mass. I know I'm so slack. In the night, Nicholas got ready to serve the nation, so that we may all could sleep ever so soundly in bed every day. My ass, he's so slack, I think if there's a war, we are all screwed, I've seen what our army's capable of, but I've also seen other countries', and boy are we really behind or what.. Anyways drove him, and my parents to the airport. So happy I could drive, driving is like my current pass time now. Anyways, going to miss that 4 eyed bugger, he will be away for 3 weeks! Hope he doesn't go and find those Taiwan hot sluts and do some reproduction, and come back with herpes! Haha, I'm sure he won't! Anyways tmr there's school which I like the most! Haha, yar right, anyway I'm ending here! School sucks and all of you know it! Night! :)

May Day And Beyond!
Wednesday!!
Sherman and I decided to skip the last 2 hours of lecture cos I guess we were very bored! =) We were very sneaky about skipping the lesson! We two sat at the back of the class, Sherman placed a broken chair to in between the door to prevent the back door from closing. We had to do that cos we purposely placed our bags outside the door, this was just to keep a watch out for any idiot whom wanna take our bags :) So..during the break, we seized the opportunity to skip the final hour of dull and boring lecture! :) Sherman went to the convention center to fine tune his bicycle, while I headed to the poolside! :) Ran 6th avenue with Wen Wei and Bear Bear! Wooohooo! It was quite impromptu for me cos they asked me whether I would like to join them and I just agreed without hesitation. Furthermore, I didn't warm up! We ran at a comfortable pace, was fun teasing Wen Wei along the way. Me and Kok Keong, discreetly stopped running and let the monkey run ahead, it was quite entertaining to see WW at his act! Oh well, after the run, I hurriedly bathed and got a ride from my mom to church. We were extremely late, we didn't get to hear the priest's sermon! After church, went home and got ready to MAMBO! My brother was very persistent saying that Mambo's que was very long, might as well don't go. O well, my bro managed to sneak me and the guys into Phuture! It was massively crowded already, when it was only 10pm!!! After we got our chop, we went to Shell to get our drinks! Hai, Ong and Keong bought E33? Don't know what is called exactly. Angus, Shaun and I shared a bottle of wine, Eagle Hawk, whatever crap. It sucked, the texture of the wine was rough, can't ask for more when you only pay 24 bucks for wine! :) We went back to Zouk, apparently Shaun was already quite tipsy! Lol! Met Yun Xian and persuaded some strangers to let him cut the que, nice pple! :) Then we all headed to the bar at Zouk and got our drinks. I drank a glass of graveyard, Hai, Kok and Shaun shared one. After that we drank 2 jugs of Long Island Tea..by then we were whooped! Long story short, I was drunk after like 30 mins into drinking. I seriously don't know why was I wasted so fast cos usually I drink more than that. Anyways I went to the toilet and met my bro coincidently, vomited purple liquid into the toilet bowl and got my ass carried out by my bro and his friend and a bouncer. The situation was quite bad for me cos I was vomiting as I was carried out of Zouk! Eeee, I still remember telling the guys that, whatever you do, don't vomit, later surely very embarrassing. Sigh, me and my jinxed mouth. Got home safely, my sis changed my top for me, and I crawled to my bed and slept till 1 15pm the next day. I don't know, is it considered drunk when you still can remember quite a number of incidents? Anyways I was laughing my ass off when I heard about what happened to the rest, or rather a particular individual. Sigh wished I could turn back time to witness with my own eyes something very extraordinary! Woohoo! Discreet!
Thursday!!!
Woke up on May Day still having a hang over which sucked to the core! Went down and ate a spoonful of porridge that my dad bought. I was still feeling the cramps and pain in my stomach, I guess it was from last night's mayhem. Immediately drank cups of water and went back to sleep. Woke up again, and told Lingsie to come over to my house to meet. Haha, I was teasing Ling that I couldn't remember what happened the night before and said like some girls were involved. Haha, bet she freaked out inside even tho her expressions were calm. She was relieved that I got drunk cos she was afraid I would do things that will make things complicated. She was wearing a SuperMan Tee, looked so adorable cos I didn't know there's such thing as SuperDuck! Woohoo, from now on you're a SuperDuck okay?! :) Booked online movie tix of Harold and Kumar @ lido. We were late and Chai was running, I followed behind and guess what? I chipped the curb with my big toe and it started bleeding profusely. It was agonizingly pain, however I kept a straight face so that Lingsie would stop staring at my toe and insisted that I would go to the hospital. I know that she was being sarcastic cos she would rather watch the movie than to bring me to the hospital to get my wound treated!! Haha, the show was good, alot of nudity and crude jokes, like Ling said, it was a guy's movie, couldn't agree more with you ducky! :) I think Jun Bin would like to watch this type of movie cos apparently his laptop is filled with M18 movies! Right John Bean?! :) After the movie, we were contemplating where to eat, we finally decided and totally agreed on one place to eat and that was Crystal Jade! We had a gastronomical feast, I wanted to eat more but I was stopped by the Duck, cos we had Wanton Soup, fried rice and beef kway teow! O well, took a rain check with ducky! She came over my house again and she helped me research and WE did together my project. Woohoo, having a girlfriend can be an asset rather than a burden...sometimes. This can be quite a debating topic too right? Is having a girlfriend an asset or burden? Haha, hog wash! Anyways after WE finalized and touch up on the power point slides, I sent ducky home in her little chariot! :)
Today, wow, was quite a day. Cos we didn't have Avionics lesson, so it was just FYP! We met up at 1030am, and waited for our supervisor. We discussed and got a few important points that we needed to make the project a smooth sailing one! After the supervisor left, we too left! Wohoo, 12 pm, school has ended for me!! So exhilarated!! Met up with Kelvin, Hai and John Bean @ can3! Ate chai pen or whatever it is called in mandarin, mixed rice! Talked alot of cock and bull with them, haha, very funny when I was filled in with very out of this world crap, apparently it is true I guess. Somehow when you don't want the truth, it really is the truth, and the truth is hard to swallow! Just like a cock meat sandwich! Eeeeww! Okay anyways, ran with Kok Keong quite abit, got bored and went home! I cooked Tom Yum seafood for myself. It wasn't world class but it tasted like Tom Yum, that was what my dad commented. I'm contented that the food I cooked tasted the way it supposed to taste! Roooar! Night world! Have fun training tmr guys! Sorry, wrist is still fucked up! What a bomber! :(
