More than a week without internet connection is really awful. Thus, the reason why I have not been online lately

Anyway, I have much to blog but since it has passed (and it was rather long ago), why bother? Anyway, I have a brand-spankin’ new Sony DSC T300. And, as Sabrina (from Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) would go: “WHOO HOO!”

(You have to forgive me. I have been watching seasons 2 to 6 whenever I did not feel like doing anything this holiday.)

Before I forget, Happy Birthday Shane! I know you’re an old man but that’s still no reason to carry on living like one You’re a really cool dude with a great temper and a fun person to be with. Your laughter is like, darn unique and I can always hear you at the other end of the bar Cheers, dude! (And it’s not like you’ll ever read this anyway.)

Back to the topic: Juno.

When I wiki-ed that, I got a Roman goddess and my birth month. But what I really wanted to find was this:

Yeah, I know. It took me forever to find time to go to a theatre just to catch a movie. What more everyone else I knew had already caught it and people who have not are not into dramady and those who have not just do not have the time to. I know, how sad can I be?

So, anyway, I just like the note Juno gave to Vanessa:

Vanessa
If you’re still in, I’m still in.
Juno

And so that’s where “Anyone Else but You” by The Moldy Peaches got featured in. I love that song when I found it off some random blog a couple of months back.

-
You’re a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you’re back is the latest trend
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

You are always trying to keep it real
I’m in love with how you feel
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I guess I am what people call as “slow to react”. I was fine when I found out what happened. I was smiling and I was fine. I mean, yeah, I guess I could not stop thinking about it but I was fine. So later, when I was alone (I guess being alone makes me feel isolated and more panicky), I guess what was found out slowly sunk into my slow mind. Or maybe, I was processing it and digesting it but not fully able to control it. It’s like feeling on top of the world yet the anchor is pulling you into the depths of the deepest oceans. It’s like being told that I won the lottery and that I’ll be put to death at the same time. It’s like smiling happily yet feeling a slap across the face.

Or maybe it’s just the whole world against me for the day. And that was part of the world.

Funny how you have been waiting for something for so, so long and when it’s finally here (well, let’s say, the day before) and something (just something, really) happens and things change (and when I say change, it means a lot) and absolutely nothing remains the same (which totally sucks and puts me into a depressing state) and the excitement just somehow dies. Abruptly.

But, then again, it was revived

… and be strong like national team.”

That was what we kept going round when we first started training almost two years ago. It’s a standing joke among my team

Anyway, the school’s swimming pool is finally back! After waiting for almost nine months of renovation and many, many months of dirty Kallang water, we finally have the pool back! And I just found out that the pool water is not chlorine water but… mineral water!

The school had the staff toilets renovated as well, and, boy, it’s really a comfort room I’m just not too happy with the water pressure because that means I will have to take forever to bathe. And I am not sure why nothing possessed the school to renovate the other public toilets as well. I mean, seriously, those toilets need to be renovated that badly and they did not do a single thing to them!

Oh, well.

Anyway, after more than a month of not training (at all!), I went back without much of a mood to train. Surprisingly, I realized that sprinting was not as tiring as I had anticipated it to be

But the aftermath of a Saturday training showed up on my system: bruised hands, knees and my lower back, cuts on legs, aching biceps, muscle cramps on toes, ankle, shins, calves, you name it, I cramped it…

At least the pool’s back so more trainings for the upcoming competition in April

On a side note (to Jolene and Geok Cheng), there is a dinner buffet at Funan IT Mall (City Hall) and Park Mall (DG). We could go there and have the Youth Buffet! *ahem ahem*

Finally, on a random note, the stupid turd dropped me into a thorny bush and now I have a big bruise on my knee and thorn cuts on my shin (aside from those attained during training)

Since it was Valentine’s Day yesterday, I decided to wear my Threadless Stupid Cupid tee!

I should have bought a size S so it looks kind of big on me

I so love this design!

I stayed up and made breakfast for my family. I made french toast, and, guess what? Yep. The toast was heart-shaped!

I was supposed to meet Jun Wei for a sushi buffet but he had a last minute quiz so he had to study Oh well, sushi buffet another time then! (Hints to sister Jolene and Geok Cheng.)

In the late afternoon, I started my shift at the bar and boy, did time move ever so slowly Furthermore, my shoes were giving my problems so walking and standing killed my feet. But it was a surprise to see Brenda before work started HELLO BRENDA!

Anyway, some random pictures that I does not have a blog entry to accompany it:

I have no idea what Jolene was looking at

Lovie and I went to Sentosa on a rainy afternoon to have Mövenpick ice cream! Our first time trying out this ice cream.

This is what happens when you put two cool dudes together without sleep

The Sunday before, we were two clowns dressed alike (black pants/skinny jeans, Hollister Co. tees, sneakers and sling bags). It was so amusing we stayed out all night and Weili did crazy stuff. Check it out:

On the road between Marina Square and The Esplanade

Last Sunday, we were five idiots gorging on 80 pieces of chicken nuggets (with curry sauce!) from MacDonald’s. My colleagues and I actually got high on them Not to mention our stomachs felt like bursting. It is going to be amusing whether they will continue eating nuggets this Sunday. I won’t be joining them though

Anyway, it’s birthday time!

I guess you don’t want to take pictures with your candle or me anymore But it’s okay! You’ve got a spankin’ nice gift (Yeah, it is so hot it burnt 87346589 holes in my pocket. Ha!)

So you’re older once again

Let’s see here. I am still waiting for the photos from the Canoe Polo 3-on-3 Challenge. How was it? Tiring. Try competing eight matches overnight. I described my injuries to my friend and the response I got was, “Sounds like you’ve been to a war.”

So I shall post a couple of pictures of Jolene and I at MoS with Rey and her coursemates

Not sure why I was being so squinty-eyed
