Get those blades

After my last pair of rollerblades became a pile of purple dust (yes they disintegrated...), I found no push factor to get a new pair simply because my cousin and sister no longer blades and most of my friends can't blade!

Weng weng and me are going to get a new pair tonight :)

Because we found people to blade regularly with!

/update/ I love my blades! Love those Fila blades lah

Volley good time

I can't even the last time I played beach volleyball. Probably secondary school :S

The convent girls catchup we had a few weeks ago sparked some really good future meetup plans. First being....Beach volleyball!!!

Sun was scorching hot that day though.




I'm so burnt now I can't even carry my bag! :( And my face looks like lobster. But it was too fun!!! I'll do it again.

But not anytime soon. I need to heal first. Hahaha


Hello there

After months of contemplation (Hint: Procrastination), I've finally got my arse down to signing up for a gym membership.

Hello Fitness First!

Let those fats burn!

Burn baby, burn

Blogged from my BB

H1N1 Vaccination

I had my H1N1 Vaccination yesterday and man it was probably one of the only flu jabs that I had a reaction to.

It started with some wooziness in the head just half an hour after the jab. And it became a slight headache and morphed into a fever. I'm having slight aches too, not to mention being really restless as well.

I'm the first person from the clinic to have such an aftereffect :S

Doctor says could be because my system is taking the vaccine too well (i.e active immune system).

Oh well, at least I get to rest at home.



Knee aches

My right knee hurts big time. The dull ache is actually starting to crawl up my thigh and it's traveling down to my shin too =(((( For a moment I was bent over the table because the ache was getting to me and I couldn't focus properly.

V*ikram thought I was sleeping LOL.

V*ikram: "Hey wake up it's lunch time!!"
Me: "I'm not sleeping....my knee hurts.."
V*ikram: "Go home..don't stay..go home."

I have no idea what happened.

It's been a long time since this old friend came to visit =S I'm getting old =((

Of 五十肩 and insufficient sleep

There's a Chinese term for describing bad shoulder aches - it's like having shoulders of a 50-year old and henceforth the term 五十肩.

I think I am developing this syndrome. I have very bad shoulder aches and my shoulders are very very stiff.

Time to hit the massage parlor.

I hope I can sleep better tonight. Last night was disastrous - for I woke up almost every hour. There were constant clicking sound of the mouse in my head, not to mention images of pivot tables and formulas like:

IFISERROR(VLOOKUP(B5,Data!$N$5:$AP$79,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B5,Data!$N$5:$AP$79,FALSE))

wouldn't stop appearing in my mind.

I want a better night of sleep tonight.

Time to shower.

Nightmare came true

I had a bad dream about me losing my voice and no one around me understood what message I was trying to convey. It was a blurry dream - I recall a few familiar faces in the dream and a jarring pain in the throat.

Woke up in shock at 6am to a very bad throat and no voice.

My nightmare came true!

Darn.

/update/

I'm taking half the day off because the infection went from my throat to my left ear in the matter of 2 hours. It was so bad I couldn't really hear with my left ear.

Doctor: "Don't worry yet, your eardrums are still intact."

=SSSSSS

I'm gonna sleep.

Worst kind of patient

I'm the kind of patient that probably most kind doctors don't wish to see. well if you are the evil kind of doctor, you would love me because you sure can earn a lot from me. Haha.

So much for an MC. I sat in front of my laptop from 7am onwards and didn't really leave until....well actually I am still on my work laptop. =S

I left briefly for lunch and 2 other times to eat my medicine because my mum was completely nagging. Oh and one more time around 5pm because I concussed on my table for no apparent reason. I went off like a burned fuse and woke up 45 min later, to find 25 more emails -_-

I have a massive amount of emails today mainly because one of our special project went 'live' earlier than expected (which caused a lot of problems), put it in line with  month end submissions, Budget 2009, new reporting standards and a meeting with the Snr director on Monday.......

And you get the perfect recipe of a busted mailbox and burned-out brain The brain was already burned by the fever. Haha.

Ok I think I just saw my mum shaking her head at me. Time to erm go take my drugs, get high on cough syrup and then back to work. Boo.

Advice of the day

Please listen to your doctor the next time he tells you to take the MC and rest at home.

=(

Now i am officially stuck at home with a new MC and more medicine. Boo. I am not even sure if the medicine work because the doctor kept saying it's virus induced and prescription of antibiotics won't help. If I don't feel better by afternoon, I will be heading out to the doctor the THIRD time.

But no worries, I am at my laptop getting work done.

Southern Ridges

Photobucket
I just can't get myself tanned la.

Nonetheless, it was a well deserved break from city life to venture out into nature. Well, at least I consider that a pretty well spent National Day - by breaking our legs that is. I swear my butt looks nicer after the 4-hr walk *beams*

Hanging at 45

It's either my body's way of losing weight for no reason or I'm gonna get sick soon.

I puked my breakfast yesterday, skipped lunch because of work and had a super light dinner of fries and a drink at Mos Burger. Which ended up in the Republic of Toilet Bowl after my tuition -_-.

YuHui says:
Maybe I am like preggie.

Ming Keat says:
Whose child is that? *gulp* Ben's?

YuHui says:
Eh pls la of all people.

Ming Keat says:
Eh so is the little one a Crown Prince?

YuHui says:
-_-


The nonsense in my life.

Anyway, do a little debit and credit on the balance sheet, it turns out I didn't have much food yesterday.

Boo.

I weighed myself this morning. 45kg. The last time I was this weight was..erm when I was Freshmen about 4 years ago. Haha.

I'm seeing the doc on sat after the full mth party if it persists. Coz before you know it, I might be reduced to a bag of bones that no one recognises.

The good news for now is..I'm starting to feel hungry le. Haha

The sore throat

I dunno why but I'm really prone to sore throats these days. I just recovered from one barely one month ago and now it's back again.

The difference is the culprit this time round is a virus, the previous one was caused by bacteria. To me there's no segregation since both made my life difficult. Haha.

Was at Ikea and Giant with the band boys when the sore throat suddenly took a turn for the worst. The pain went straight into my ears and it was started to become unbearable. Jiahui and I head off to a clinic near our place and we had the longest waiting time ever I swear.

Not to mention my close encounter with death at the traffic light near my place on my way home. One Indian man was crossing the road so I thought it was red light, in my groggy state, I crossed too. The key thing was, the black Mercedes even slowed down for me to cross. It only dawned to me it was still green light when out of the corner of my eyes I saw a red car speeding towards me.

Thank goodness I was near the pavement already =S

Something really random: Huifanggggggggggg~~~~~~, go Nike Plus Human Raun with me la~~~~~ since we didn't manage to get into Shape Run...I know we both can't do 10km..it's ok we can walk the rest..hahaha =))

Who knows?! We might see our all time favourite prof there =)))))))))))

What a great source of motivation. Haha

A smashing good time

Should have updated on this last week but lazy as I can be..well you know. Lol

Met up with my brothers - Shaun, WeeCheer and Weihao (plus Suqin who came later) last Sunday for a badminton session.

Photobucket

The brothers:
Photobucket

The court's pretty good, just that it's pretty stuffy. Lol.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Shaun was really good! Despite the fact that he kept saying I was pro, he was the real pro one!

The "pro" me end up whacking my knee with the racket because I jumped too hard and whack the racket too hard as well -_-:
Photobucket

I think we all smacked too hard and we decapitated one shuttlecock:
Photobucket

The true wonder of this badminton session was...the power of my hair serum.

HAHA.

I went for hair treatment the day before and they stylist left some hair serum in my hair and told me not to shampoo it off, but ok to wash it. But throughout the whole session, despite perspiring like crazy....I could still smell the nice fruity smell of the hair serum! Same for WeeCheer who was my badminton partner!

HAHA. Time to buy that hair serum man. I can perspire all I want and still smell heavenly. Lol.

We went for Mac's after that and had onion rings, which was released in line with Kungfu Panda. Real onions! That's what I call onion rings man....:
Photobucket

Speaking of which..Jiahui, Alan, Daniel and Shiyuan!!!!! Watch Kungfu Panda with meeee!!!!!! =))

Prisoner of my own device

Photobucket
I always need this when I have a running nose. I like dipping 2 ends of a tissue into it and stuffing into my nose.

HAHA.

Should have seen me rummaging through the first-aid cabinet looking for Vicks.

I look like a frigging marijuana addict.

Haha.

Golfing Around

Signed up for Golf Clinic with Yicui and Caixia, and gosh, I never thought I would find golf..interesting.

HAHA.

We met up first in Harbourfront and had a walk around Vivocity. It's been so long since we last walked in mall man :S We went into Candy Empire:
Photobucket

I never paid attention to the items inside before, but this time round I really paid attention to the things inside:
Photobucket

So many snacks! Even found my childhood favourite, Freddo the Frog chocolate:
Photobucket

Deliciousss!!!!!!:
Photobucket

We took a cab down to Keppel Club, where we will be having our Golf Clinic at the driving range.

Ground floor:
Photobucket

Second floor where we have our session:
Photobucket
Photobucket

Somehow, being in the golf range, makes me feel very peaceful. Coz there isn't much noise, and it's all green.

HAHA.

Yicui, me, Caixia
Photobucket
This is after like 2 million shots, the only one that manage to put 3 of us in and still have the golf course as background.

HAHA.

Caixia with her golf club:

Yicui with her golf club:

Crystal (Yicui's friend from HK on exchange) with her golf club:
Photobucket

And me?

That's me (PS: The ball on the floor is the next one in line.):
Photobucket

And my golf club:
Photobucket

I was too shy to share one photo with it. Haha.

We had 2 Australian coaches, Samy and Grant. Samy is a middle-aged man while Grant is a hunky young one. Lol.

So evidently, I only managed a shot of Grant in action:
Photobucket
Haha.

I dunno if it's just my luck or I truly have a flair for golf. Including the 3 members from the Golf Club, we had 5 coaches in total. 4 of them had nothing to criticize about my posture and swing, and mentioned I had potential :S

Samy: "What's your name?"
Me: "Yu Hui."
Samy: "Hmm."
Me: "Yea that's about as Ang Moh as it can get."
Samy: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
*Samy stood back while I swing one*

Me: "I am having backaches, is it wrong posture?"
Samy: "No..and I have absolutely nothing to criticize about your posture and your swing. All I can say is, you should continue practising in your current state."
Me: "Oh. Erm thanks."
Samy: "You have potential. You make a good golf friend."
Me: "HAHA. Thanks man."

Same for the 3 members of Golf Club who mentioned I didn't make error at all despite a full swing.

Me: "Erm what's a full swing?"
One of them: "As in you go all the way back before hitting the ball."
Me: "OH."

I had a couple of bad shots also la, maybe it was luck.

My 6 seconds of fame:

I'm lucky to have Yicui filmed a successful shot. Haha.

And I think my whole posture look funny.

BUT, I'm really addicted to the "tuck tuck" sound produced when the club hits the golf ball. Haha.

I guess playing golf without the glove sure make a difference. I had successive bad shots during the last few balls because my hand hurt like crazy. So I decide to give the last ball a good one and put away the club.

And guess what?

I realised..a flap of skin was dangling off my index finger:
Photobucket
The pain didn't set in until a few seconds after realization -_-.

It was the kind of sharp pain that makes you very high. Hahaha.

I found a plaster in my wallet and attempt to stick the skin back:
Photobucket

I'm really surprised that golf can actually make you perspire so much. My goodness, I always thought it was comfort sports. Haha.

Our last shot before leaving:
Photobucket
When Yicui was the one who told us to do stupid poses, while she's the only one acting cute with the camera and having the most normal expression. Tsk tsk tsk

Hahaha.

Oh man, I want to play more golf. So frigging hooked to the "tuck tuck" sound.

=)

Sounds like some wonder machine to me XD. Well even if most of the things sounds far-fetched..at least it's another form of exercise :)))))) Which can replace my dumped pair of rollerblades.

If they have a pink one, I'm gonna buy it.

I suppose I would be the fastest jogger at Bedok Reservoir XD

P.S: Now it's time for the family to sit down and watch Death Note Movie! :)))))

Argh. Headaches.

Me: "My head is splitting soon."

Mingkeat: "Woa, I have never seen a head split. Cool beans."

Me: "When you get the Godzilla of all headaches, you will witness such phenomenon too."

Not only that, you feel like dying too.

Got dragged out of the house by my parents to Waterloo Street, and I was appalled by crowd there. Headache started since.
The crowd reminds me of Airshow. But what it made it worse was the incense. And an irritating headache.

We went walking around and my mum wants me to visit the fortune teller again -_-.

Oh! And I caught this piece of news just outside the shop while I was in the queue:
A380 to become a Gambling Den Plane. Wow. Only Chinese people can think of that. Hahahaha.

By the time I reach home, it seems half my head was numb with pain already. So I took a nap and woke up around 8pm. Head was still splitting but I decide homework still needs to be done. Did one hour of inefficient studying and went to watch my 9pm show on Channel 8.

Didn't watch much -_-. Coz I was curling up in pain most of the time.

Puked.

And decide I should go to bed early.

Woke up 10 min later, puke again.

By the time I puked the 3rd time, the pain already had me squatting in the toilet crying away.

No, crying doesn't make the headache go away. It made it worse -_-.

Went back to bed feeling like the brain cells were having hell of a clubbing session in my brain with the heavy "thumping" sound echoing through my whole cranium.

I kept changing the positions I was on bed to find the most comfy one. Tried to think about other things besides the throbbing head. Thought about my toes, thought about school (which made things worse and I decide to change a topic), thought about breakfast......and then I started to have weird dreams of people stealing my money.

-_-

Woke up at 8am with the headache gone, but an empty stomach.

Brekkie time!

Hou Hoy Shum Ah :)

If I remembered it correctly, it means "Very Happy" in Canto. Hahahahaha.

Almost couldn't log on to Blogger -_-. They keep saying my laptop has virus or spyware -_-. Scan and scan and scan and scan and..you get the idea.

I can finally log in -_-.

Went for a jog at around 9pm, after my Environmental Science project meeting and dinner with You Fen.

It was a much needed jog. I haven't exercised for a week plus already! :S

It was a cool breezy night. I think due to lack of exercise and bad diet, my stamina has dropped -_-. 2.5km and I was rather gone. Hahahaha.

Oh no, maybe it has something to do with me running against the wind. Hahahahaha.

So I decide to take a break at my favourite spot:
This area is behind the church where it's quiet and the perfect place to do sit ups and stretching because it's an outdoor gym :)

It's supposed to be brighter than what the photo shows. Hahahaha.

I like to lie down on the sit up area and look up at the sky. Coz there's always stars. Tonight's moon was sooo bright and round :)
I'm sorry the picture didn't capture it. Hahahaha. The bright globe in the middle is the moon. The bright thing on the right is the logo of the church.

The picture does not do justice to what I saw.

I love just lying there, switch on some nice peaceful classical music and just watch the world go by. It clears my mind and relaxes me a lot.

Oh! I counted the number of stars tonight. 13 of them. I always count them and most of the time it's 13. I wonder why -_-.

Thankfully in my dictionary, it's not an unlucky number. Wahahahaha.

After my sit ups and stretching, I would sit at my favourite seat, enjoy the cool night breeze and then observe the surroundings:
There would always be old couples having their walks. Mothers walking with their kids and dogs. Other people jogging. And a couple of Banglah-s gathering for a good chat at the nearby void deck.

Surprisingly, it would still always be quiet enough to even hear your own breathing. I think coz everyone is just you, relaxing. Hahahahaha

Oh, not to forget, my favourite running track:
:)

Cooled down enough, mind clear enough. I realised it was time to meet Jiahui at the bus-stop near my place to collect the ticket for NTU Band concert :)

Saw my sister's favourite ad at the bus stop:
She say it always make her laugh. Hahahahaha. Boys should go there to cut hair, to become men. Lol.

Jiahui came at around 10.10pm. I want to have a bike like his too!!!! And his was a gift from his neighbour! So lucky! Hahahahaha.

We chatted about the financial industry, my future career path and his pending internship. It was such a good talk that when we finally realised we were a bit tired, it was almost 11pm already. Hahahaah. So he rode home and I made my way back as well.

NTU Band Concert! Here I come! Although I dunno any of the pieces that's gonna be played, but nvm, I might be exposed to new music that I might like right? Hahahahahaha

Exercising sure make me happy :) And not to forget great music (My Improvision on the Canon by Robin Spielberg), cool night breeze and fantastic stars tonight :)

I realise black and white photos look better. Hahahahahaha.

Coz don't really see the dark rings.

Gawd, I hate having just one able eye

I can't jay-walk. Because I can't see the entire right side unless I turn my head till my left eye is able to see the right.

I dunno what's happening on my right side. And that's scary.

Tienfa: *put 2 fingers on my right* "How many fingers?"
Me: "None."
Tienfa: "There's 2! Take a chair and sit under the tree la.."

My left eye is really tired from working alone.

Shah says I am a walking hazard. Coz I keep bumping into people on my right.

I grabbed someone's shoulder blade instead of the bar on the train. Coz I have problem judging distance with one eye. Thank god he was nice. Haha.

Shane: "What happened to your eye?"
Me:"Eye infection"
Shane:"Don't bluff, must be kana beaten up."

Hahahahaha. Yeah, for peeping at guys in the shower, i guess. Hahaha

Terence calls me 独眼wong instead of 独眼龙. Boohoo. Yes you psy-tee-ko.

I want my right eye back la~~~~~~~

Oh no, starting to whine like Richard. Hahaha..oh Richard will hate me for this..hahahaha

独眼龙 of the day

I woke up at 5.30am this morning, to a dull pain in my right eye. So I decided to pay the toilet a visit.

Overnight, I was prized with what Korean singer/actor, Rain, was famous for. Small puffy eyes:



Oh no, I looked far from charming. I looked extremely dao in fact. Hurhur.

I decided not to go to school, lest it's anything serious and went to the doctor at around 9am.

It turned out I have eye infection -_-. Dun ask me where it came from, but I can assure you it didn't come from peeping guys in the shower. Hurhur. The doc suspected was the new eyedrops I bought just 2 days ago. Or it could be the widespread Red Eye Syndrome. According to the doc, there's a huge increase in number of patients seeking treatment for Red Eye Syndrome these few weeks.

And if you see me on Friday with a gauze over my right eye and wearing specs (recall I have lazy eye and the right eye is the able one!), remember to say Hi. Coz I might not see you so well (I have problems judging distance with one eye!). Hurhur
