I had initially thought of skipping today’s gym training as I still had conjunctivitis not to mention a bad cough. But I decided to train since it has been almost a month since I last went for a gym training 😕

Before I left for school, I had actually taken a rather large dosage of cough syrup, in which, unfortunately, made me rather drowsy. So by the time the train pulled up at my stop, I was feeling rather woozy and I could barely walk straight 😮

Ah well, seems like throughout the whole training, I was stoning half the time 🙄 Oddly, even though after doing heavy weights as well as 240 push-ups, it was not as bad as circuit trainings on Thursdays 😉

Anyway, after bathing, Joan, Jolene, Geok Cheng, Joycelyn and I went to Clementi’s MacDonald’s to have dinner. (Random rant: Gah! Can’t believe I’m so silly to order regular Jasmine tea when I wanted a medium one! :mad:)

Anyway, as the title suggests, Happy Apple is actually our dear Joan. What happened was we were talking about something and whenever Joan laughed, she has this habit of opening her mouth really wide, showing all her nice pearly whites (as well as her relatively-new braces). Apparently, Jolene has been gymming with Joan this evening and kept seeing her pearly whites and told her (while stiffling her own laughter) to please cover her mouth whenever she laughed.

Anyway, basically, Joan was our source of laughter for tonight. And she seemed rather proud of it because she went, “See? I’m your Happy Apple.”

We drew a short blank before bursting out in really loud laughter.

I had literally no idea what she was talking about until she explained that she’s like the ???. Which means someone who makes people happy. And translating that literally, it means ‘happy fruit’. But Joan could not think of the word ‘fruit’ for ? and simply thought of ‘apple’ (??). Thus, ‘Happy Apple’. ????.

My goodness. All of us with the exception of Joan laughed till there were tears in our eyes and our stomachs ached really badly while gasping for air.

It feels great to have a really good and hard laugh with my teammates 🙂

The initial plan was to work after training on Saturdays and still go for Sunday’s pool slots. However, it seems like I’m just too worn out as well as burnt out (literally).

After training on Saturday, Jolene, Lilin, Joan, Joycelyn, Teresa and I went to NYNY to slack and have a rather late lunch.

After finishing up, I could feel the exhaustion from the training seeping into my aching body. Gah! By the time I started work, I could literally sleep walk 😕

And no matter how badly I want to train on Sundays, Saturday’s sunburns on my poor nose, cheeks and shoulders are always a discouragement 🙁

This may be is a long post. You’ve been warned.

???? So, anyway, I went to watch ???? (Happy Birthday) with Jun Wei last Thursday. Sigh. Sad movie. It caught my attention because, well, I’ll admit I noticed ??? (Louis Khoo) in the movie. After reading the synopsis and watching the trailer and the music video, I knew I had to watch it with him 🙂 The song’s sung by the lead actress in the film ??? (Rene Liu).

Monday was Artello’s Revelation Day cum Pre-Valentine’s Day cum Teresa’s 18th and Lizhen’s 19th birthday celebrations. (What a mouthful!) Jolene and I came up with the idea that all of us (besides Lizhen who claimed that we would puke should we see her in something feminine) should wear skirts that day 😆

Let me tell you: The last time I actually wore a skirt was like a decade ago. So let’s just say I did not feel very comfortable.

I’ve always complained that wearing skirts totally restricts me and my movements. And since I was running late that day, I realised this annoying thing. I could not take large steps! 😐 And when I tried to take two steps at a time, I realised the skirt prevented me so I had to jump about the escalator step by step :mrgreen:

We gave Ramen Ramen Singapore a shot this time. But imho, once to try is enough 😛 My goodness, we made such a din and even embarrassed the poor waiter! It’s a wonder we were not chased out by the management 😕

We had our dinner and then exchanged gifts as we revealed ourselves to our mortals. Turns out that silly Lilin is my angel this round (I was her Santa for our Christmas game) who gave me a box of sweets and an awesome Emily Strange patch!

Angel Lilin’s gifts for me!

When I revealed that my mortal was Joan and handed her her gift, she gave this really loud squeal, reached for her gift and grabbed it, removed the plastic bag and immediately insisted that I take a picture of her with my… scrap-card for her.

My gift to Mortal Joan!

We then presented Teresa and Lizhen their birthday presents from us! 😀

Then we had cake! Man, it’s really chocolatey, yummy, and totally sinful! I guess that’s where our trainings come in handy 😀

Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should
Stay away for a day
‘Til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were
Dropping and the rain
Forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die

I can’t believe that amidst all that’s going on, Nelly Furtado is my source of relief from all these… mess.

Anyway, Moonlight is buried in Jun Wei’s garden. We both know she will be somewhere happier. Hammy Heaven, I’m sure.

One of the things I hope to achieve this year in 2007 is to blog more regularly. So far, it’s not going as planned, I’m afraid. It seems like too many things have happened between the last post and this. Too many events, too many feelings. Too confused, lost and hurt. But, gah, I wish I could do something about… everything.

I watched Death Note 2: The Last Name on Wednesday night. It was a nice movie that I’ll probably only watch it once. I think I still prefer the manga better.

Absolut Vodka I love Absolut Vodka 😛 And the SPCT chalet from Wednesday to Friday sure provided me with Raspberri and Vanilla 😀 The thing is that I kinda mixed it with ice cream soda not to mention having Chivas with jasmine tea, I got a little too tipsy 😐 I got better in the end but not after vomiting, suffering chills and a splitting headache. Meeh. I wonder how everyone could put up with me 😕
