Poking and Refereeing

Well, with the hackings and all, I can’t believe there goes the month of June. Lost my one and only entry in June but I guess I cannot really do anything about it :(

I met Joycelyn at Dover and headed to Tampines to visit a chinese medical hall to “poke needles” (acupuncture) for my still-swollen left pinky.

The train ride felt pretty short because I kept her laughing over my funny stories and she updated me on the trainings at the ever-dirty Kallang River. Seems like most of us are still not into the whole training-mode.

Anyway, thank goodness she was with me to act like a translator with the acupuncturist. I seriously felt like I was lost in translation halfway while explaining to ther about my finger. After poking three needles, I felt like an incense holder when she started burning this lump of herbs on the needle that was stuck on the joint of my finger :?

Incense Holder

After that, we slacked a tad at Starbucks while waiting for Jolene to join us. After a quick dinner at the food court, we went for our first referee practical session at TP.

I really envy TP’s swimming pools. Yes, pools. And we had only one lousy pool that we cannot even fully utilize because we have to leave a few lanes for swimmers :mad: Their pool is like, 10 lanes wide. So it felt really huge.

As I have not trained for more than six weeks, I felt like I have somewhat lost touch with canoe polo. Thus, I did not feel very confident about the practical session :( But after shadowing Raymond (the instructor) for two matches and observing two more, I felt more familiar with the game and the rules.

So when it was my turn to ref the match with Jolene, I felt more confident. And I made a good call for a five-second foul :lol:

Overall, I would say it was quite an eye-opener. To ref a match, that is :)

It’s Been Tiring

Lots of things; Too little time.
This will be a first:

  • The whole of last week was working for the Fujitsu roadshow in school with Joycelyn and Lilin. Worked non-stop for almost nine hours straight. Got used to eating lunch at 1730 hours.
  • Ended up sleeping in school for three nights to save time on transportation.
  • Saturday’s polo training was fair. Had friendly matches with TP and the national team.
  • Still working a few days for the roadshow this and next week.
  • Very, very, very tired.
  • Campfire’s tomorrow. Can’t wait :)

23 more days…

Don’t Like BBQs

One of the reason why I don’t quite enjoy BBQs during chalets:

BBQ in the rain

New Theme!

Finally! After 9483570394 gazillion years, I have come up with a brand spanking new layout! And I really, really, really adore it to pieces *attempts to hug layout*

It took me half a day to come up with my rough idea and editing the images, a day to code it in Notepad and half a morning to convert it over to WordPress pages. Results? I present to you “Pretty Feet” :) (Uh, look at the footer image and you’ll understand.)

So this theme will probably stay up until I have time to make and code another theme *mehehehe* Wanted to save this for 2006 but I guess I’m way too excited :P

Happy New Year to everyone!
And may 2006 be a better year for all!

Moving On

So, I’m getting back my files via cache by googling and yahooing. And, I’m re-doing my side bar (as you can see).

I’ve also moved some WordPress files from my other blog because it fits better in this blog (as the other one is more serious-based kind).

The next step is to fix my other sites (I’ve got a kazillion) and then I’ll put up my domain content here.

I am such a busy person online.
