fatigue is setting in. signs are showing, from visible signs to being easily irritable. discovered on sunday. seems like there is a need to evadicate this totally soon before it worsens. hahas...realize how hard it is to juggle work, fun and camp at the same time. jus 3 more days of late nights.

senior camp
didn't enjoy it as much as i would like to. fatigue finally took a toll on me on sun. so tired that i jus wanna stone most of the time. was really unlucky on sun. took a cab to sentosa after the run but after i reached, realise that i was too late for my own stations. haiz missed the chance to review it personally. miss the last train and last bus home too. for the first time, requested for dad to fetch me home after midnight cos i was so exhausted and really don't wanna spend more on taxi fares. realise that the impact of certain things can never to fully shared with others. i jus need a really good rest...

mizuno wave 10km run
great sense of satisfaction at finishing the run with zhan yuin. my first proper 10km run. if not for you, i would not be running as fast or as far. thanks for jus running beside me. :) almost wanted to stop during the last 500 metres but continued cos u were running beside me. wellz...u r a great running buddy! shall start training for 21km...haha don't think i can run without training ba...huiqun...if u join real run...let me know k...think i'll go read up on the details and consider too! :)

looking forward to meeting sss for dinner for the final time before sch starts for all of us. :)

wah!! someone save me ah~~been so busy that i m tired even before the senior camp! lolz wonder how the senior camp wld be like...busy rushing to many many places ba!!

been out every night after work since mon with meetings, errands running and watching Harry Potter! haiz almost every night reach home, jus bathe n drop down to sleep. headache too from too many things on my mind.

(1) not prepared for the camp. better go do some reading up bout the stations before going tmr...


(2) going for army half-marathon?? god. nv thought i wld ever think of running that. wellz if zhan yuin is going den i'll go with her ba. at least got company :) woohoo great to know u ba...cos u'll keep me running each time u jio me. wahaha bro, don't get jealous when u come back and realise that we became good frenz :)

(3) lolz senior camp going to be messy messy for me. going to bedok area to run early on sun morning n rushing to sentosa for my games. hope i can make it on time leh....maybe will consider taking cab down. haiz otherwise...roomie roomie..pls pls don't scold me...


(4) OH Ya! welcome home big bro! great to have u back n i love the gifts u brought back! give me the extras...esp the 5 rep of nxt yr's olympiad :) home is much more lively and cosy again!

(5) hse in a total total mess. donno where to put all the things, where to start my own packing...

gee if things goes on like this, i can't survive thru the last week of work! so many many things to do and more seems to be coming...rah...*"i'll survive" song comes to mind* hahas...hanging ard sirong is making me crappy totally...

many things happened so fast that my mind is in a whirl.

mum fell down n injured her feet realtively badly that minimal walking is encouraged. spent whatever time i was at home helping her out. from household chores to grocery shopping and cooking. so proud of myself! *bleams* felt so filial :)

2nd bro flew off le. hope u liked to huge sendoff that day n all the gifts u received too! haas...made u feel warm ritez :) anywae...take carez n have fun there! frequent updates too ba...

was out with 2 squaddies on sat, wanli and xinyi. catching up with one another after so long!! waahaha all grown cho and matured le...had fun jus hanging ard one another, eating and talking! shall ask u all out on a more frequent basis...:) after which, spent my night catching up with my teacher cum mentor of close to 10 yrs alr!! learnt quite a lot from her, esp english! will miss u after u migrate to canada!! n hope my english doesn't deteroriate!

up bright and early on sun morning! went KAYAKING!! hoarray! was super happy la! thanks gh leh, for jioing me out cos i wanna kayak lots! kayaking at MacRitchie is good for leisure. :)though it doesn't have the same effect as the sea, staying on water has same relaxing and calming effect! really enjoyed myself jus sitting and chatting peacefully on the kayak :) introduced to some wine too. like the white wine..though i forgot the name le...haas i have to admit that having car to drive ard is much more convenient la. like sat, can travel to suntec from parkway cos wanli has car. sun was conveniently driven ard the moment i stepped out of hse. maybe i shld go pick up driving soon too...

however, sun didn't end off quite as well. had some family prob that i was really very upset. so upset that i didn't have a proper conversation with my parents and requested to be excused. went up mt. faber alone to chill, cos it was near home. at that point in time, i felt super lonely. but i was glad i was alone. everything will be different now. still upset and i donno when i'll get over it. maybe never. nonetheless i'll learn to grow up.

ai yo. realized i haven't blogged for really quite long le.

been really busy with so many things that i can't really remember what had happened since last week. wanted to watch the girl who leapt thru time. rmb rushing down to orchard after work, took a cab yet by the time we reached, the tickets were all sold out. such a pity to miss the opportunity to watch that show. ended up shopping with sirong :)

work wasn't as enjoyable as before. been dumped with lots of work by a particular person. wellz, he is one person who really got me mad for a long time. he makes it really hard to be nice to him. initially we worked hard for him, staying overtime to complete stuff for him cos he said it was urgent. no complaints. no bad feelings then. yet, he leaves earlier than us that day, telling us at 7pm that its okay, can continue the nxt day when we had alr completed for him. seriously wanted to explode that day. been trying hard not to show our displeasure. however, he just keep doing worse things that is making the effort to smile harder each time. mad not because of the quantity of work, but because he is obviously pushing his responsibilities to us and making us slog for him when he is not even a/our boss.

decided to look at things more positively. cos he is totally not worth the efforts of getting us mad.

spent one whole week doing up the gift for my bro for his farewell. such a simple gift yet the efforts behind the making wasn't easy. spent lunch breaks, after work time and even weekends tavelling ard jus to collect the photos and materials. lots of unsuccessful late nights in order to hide from u. wellz...guess u have guessed that the theme of the gift is simple-family. hope its meaningful for u! :)

I celebrated youth day!

Took part in the community run of MILK run 2007. 4km only. Glad to have ran it with my running buddy. Really happy that u came today, despite your busy schedule and tiredness. Thanks for jioing my buddy n me to go for these kinds of events! Hopefully the kayaking session would continue as planned. I m starting to enjoy running. Probably cos there was someone running beside me throughout. N the feeling of completing it is great! It was a much needed exercise after a week of eating lots of desserts etc. looking forward to my next run-mizuno wave. anyone who wanna jio me for more runs or join me in running would be gladly welcomed! :)

After the run, rushed home for a farewell dinner for my bro. Had a simple yet sumptuous meal! Zhu cao. There was so much crab and prawns that for once I had enough of them and ate till my heart’s content :) lol maybe cos I was the last person left sitting at the dining table. luckily, it was held at my house, otherwise, I would be totally embarrassed my way of eating the crab. Wahaha, luckily no one but my family noticed. Mass family gathering has always been heart-warming n fun esp with kids ard! Zhu cao somehow always leave a close-kitted form of feeling, to eat and chat over a round table of food.

Spent the past few days meeting up with tutorial friend, hall-mates, programmers and those running buddies. Been spending the rest of my time watching dvd and reading storybooks. Gosh I have a long list of books to finish-angels and demons, deception point, my sister’s keeper and freakonomics. Supposed to finish them all by july, I m trying hard now…:)
