Reminiscing i would call it. lets see the most vivid memory I have now is of last nite's dream, was in some city (looks like bangkok) where the walkways can move about as and when they like. den got into an arguement with hawker or sth and i was lecturing some boy that tried to steal my wallet. sounds dumb but i dunno why i had that dream either. Makes me more feel the urge to travel.
so Resolution 1 of 2010: Earn more $$ so i can travel more.
Ahh yes back to my highlights of 2009; - coordinate my 1st sea expedition to sisters island where i was bitten by a centipede. - handover became VP for SPA. - realized the importance for balancing studies and play, and the more i shd work hard in class; getting the 3.5 semester gpa. - FO camp, made a new lot of frens.. - experienced playboating. - Kayak S2, and learnt my rolls - abseil L1 & L2 - ppcdl PASSED. - fabulous food team for NIKE - new timing for SCSM09 - Went for LTC @Mt Kinabalu (best!) _ climbed to the top of KK 4095.2M, experienced AMS _ Did via ferrata the world highest _ Whitewater rafting at pedas river _ Got influenced by the backpacking culture while staying at the backpackers lodge in sabah
that shd be all. Resoultion 2: to cond doing wad i love doing
hmm ya, when i think more of my resolution den i add. ;)
"The unknown path we are gg to be taking as we hit 2010, just like the boat sailing into the blank horizon...."
Food for thought. well, here I am. Back from Northern Island Kayaking 0910. Actually its just the first day of kayaking, the last of the 2 days was preparing the food and driving the boat. It had been a fun trip with the company i had, legends to them all. Big thanks to Veron and Fel for being the food team, i guessed we didnt failed cus we supplied too much food and they were all happy and no complaints. hahahas, though i was more the eat only guy before the trip, i know more now. i think the bbq and the sandwich was the best. anw, despite the many hiccups in and ON the trip, the asses were covered and i'm jus glad everyone's safe and sound. other than sun burn of cus. Hope that all had experienced sth new, made new bonds w/ one another. woohoo!
its 2 more days to the start of the new year. i wonder wad it holds for me.. other than the two major constant - graduation and enlistment; i really dunno how are the other empty spaces going to be filled. I hope i would be able to continue doing wad i love now, travelling, outdoor sports, and of cus more exciting stuff like paragliding for instance.. thats just wad i want to do, as to how and with who its a big question mark. My wish for 2010; more opportunities to come knocking; & at the same time get more certs and to go backpacking. To be afraid or excited when 31.12.09 2358hrs, i'm still questioning that.
today went climbing at climber's lab at toh guan rd there with lard. quite a nice place, was pleasantly surprised to find not much of a crowd even though its weekend. only draw back was the route(s) rather technical and difficult to identify, but the shoe rental there is very nice and comfy! will consider gg back again.
Anyone knows what is the Chinese word for rock climbing?
den aft that it rained as we were leaving, and i was irritating lard all the way to sch and to PM.. hahahaha. did some laps there, and realised had been abt a month i nv kayak there alr.. Boy the fibreglass kayaks felt heavy! too used to the dancers and so liao.. gd thing it rained today and the water is nice.
headed down to suntec and marina sq for bookfair and carl's jnr! woohoo, at last i got to eat it, the beef cheese fries! Sinful sia! but aii, hack lahh... A day of eye-openers!...
John Mayer is still amazing for my playlist tonite! =D
Staying home alone on a Friday Flat on the floor looking back On old love Or lack thereof After all the crushes are faded And all my wishful thinking was wrong I'm jaded I hate it
I'm tired of being alone So hurry up and get here So tired of being alone So hurry up and get here Get here
Searching all my days just to find you I'm not sure who I'm looking for I'll know it When I see you Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom Staying up all night just to write A love song for no one
I'm tired of being alone So hurry up and get here So tired of being alone So hurry up and get here
I could have met you in a sandbox I could have passed you on the sidewalk Could I have missed my chance And watched you walk away? Oh no way
I could have met you in a sandbox I could have passed you on the sidewalk Could I have missed my chance And watched you walk away?
I'm tired of being alone So hurry up and get here I'm so tired of being alone So hurry up and get here oh yeah
I'm tired of being alone So hurry up and get here I'm so tired of being alone So hurry up and get here
today's wed. for the past 3 days: i've been waking up thinking, wa today do wad? i'm like just living in the moment right now. even though i've some aims that i want to achieve before graduation. argh, i need a trip or event tis hol! malacca or pengarang wld be perfect, kayak bbq at changi nt bad either..
anw, gd thing is that we did up the other side of the shoe alr, left the finishing touches before presentation.. and i still haven visit the natural wall, OMG! everytime they oragnise i visit i always have something that clashes.. haiss. lucky ytd was not wasted doing nth.
Visited grandma ytd aft running with kyl. nice prediction of weather too, it rained cats and dogs like finally. NICE! grandma is looking better alr.. even better was the ghim moh chee kuey; lucky they haven close. Hmmm, marvallous! my childhood fav; hadnt had them for like so so long, they still tasted the same. (scroll down for pic)
I think they're the best in sg, beaten hands down. Many ppl wld say its oily and crap, but WTF scared of food den dun eat la, make life so tough for urself; seriously dunno wad these ppl thinking. anw, yes back to chee kueh, ahhhh i cant think of any good words to emphaise it more. woohoo!
they appeared in some channel U drama last time.
and this, the 'best-est' food, i can have 16 in one go for a meal. ;) washing it off with the soy mik, BAGUS!
hahaha. mom told me she wld get this deuter backpack for me during the isetan sale tis fri.. YES, hope she gets it while stocks last. i even dreamt abt it last nite... backpacks FTW.
this the link for description for the food critics on the best chee kueh!.. click here
i duno wad to say la. fuck, i've learnt my lesson: future discussions god-damn calling is a better soln, MSN omg. making assumptions is also a wrong thing to do, go south and u've no back-up.. and lastly, to the ppl receiving messages and stuff its always good to just REPLY them, jus a simple ok as acknowledgement is gd also lah, pls.
and to add on to the woes; i'm still fed-up wiith the connection issue.
My sincere apologise to all for the miscommunication tonite. it's totally screwed.
woke up tis morning feeling fresh for a day in the sun. taking the morning train route fr Bishan - Khatib was very nice i wld say, enchanting if were to put in better terms. somehow trains, rails and nature makes everything looks so serene, that inspiring. jus like the time aft WW rafting at pedas river, taking the train out...
sets me thinking: "wad am i gg to do for this holiday? and the next?" somepart of the brain urges me to go cycling in pengarang, woohoo a long stretch of the legs. but yea there's always the constant thot of fyp in the mind; when, how, wad wld it be done? haisss
then it happened. waited for a cab, frustrating you know to see 3 empty comfort cabs pass by w/o giving a damn abt you. and i called their hotline to book, only to wait and wait and wait. at last, but another company's cab -.-
today's 3 star was interesting also, tried towing.. finally i know wad they rest are talking abt.. wow, like wad muxing commented "towing is a very fun thing to do aye.. " hahaha.. tml gg on a trip to punggol marina. hmm..
and yes. i was alr in a do-not-disturb-me mode, yet i got kp by some ridiculous cleaning lady for something i've no god-damn clue about. Siao-ehh.. i noe i stay hougang, but i'm not ur psychiatrists k. plus grr, internet connectivity is on the drop again! tmd, surfing the net is lik the only leisure time i have to connect, research and relax.. yet its constantly failing on me.. i dunno whether its starhub again or my router issue liao.. 9 aug 2010 faster come, singtel FTW.
it had been a gd gd race. Amazing weather. Crossing the finish line @ 4hr54min, damn nice! personal best for now. Many thanks to lard, tai, gha, the lady 5hr pacer, and lastly the girl in the white cap that ran 4:54 too, if not for you; my last 5k wld hav been hell, didnt get a chance to ask ur name though.. but THANK YOU fr the bottom of my heart! ;)
no sore no gain. saw tis guy pushing i think his wife or sth in a wheelchair running, seeing his wife making the effort to help her husband roll the wheelchair along, brought a moment of tear.. I believed they motivated many including myself to think even a disabled person is making an effort to finish, why cant you? and to add they're damn fast! RUN ON..
I'd enjoyed the day; all 9 of us achieved our goal to finish the race. GD JOB! have a gd gd nite rest k.. cheers.
in about 12 hrs time, i'm gonna be waking up to prepare for departure alr. excited, nervous, worried, etc.. even though tis is my 2nd marathon; it felt like the first.. argh.
how come things break down when they're at their anniversary or something..
first the slipper then the laptop. hais.. says CMOS battery low.. tmd, duno how to change, yet going down to service center is a chore.
had 2 tests today - CSW & NCA. undeniably, NCA sucks.. did the test in the computer lab which gotta go thur tis tedious long process to lockdown browser before entering.. 50 mcq(s), and think i tikam almost half of the answers.. wow. lucky this module is not examinable. i dun even know why i'm learning about networking and stuff here too.. hais.
anw hello december! mega fast that 2009 is coming to an end.
The legends that rock my 2009.
