Home For A Day

Weekend:

Trained bright and early on Saturday morning. We were "promise(d) that this session will not inclue shuttles/suicides of TOKs" but we did agility fitnesss! =(

Giant shopped, brunched, got upset over the thought of losing my 22$, but eventually found out A took it. And she used it to buy 5 bottles of Po.cari sweat, of which only 1 was for me! Okay, but I got the money back in the end.

Game in the afternoon, though, was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! With composure and really awesome support on attack/covers for defence, we won! :D Strained the quads muscle though. =(

Family dinner at Chinatown where 5 of us had, stingray, claypot rice, yupianmeefen! , orhlua, char kway teow! And of course, sugar cane! :D

Really yummy dinner with awesome family time. =)

Wasted my day on Sunday though =( With the excuse of a strained and painful quad,

 I stayed home and spent half my day on the phone. But thank you Yanns, J, Ding anyhow. :D

--------------------------------------------

School has been so-so, the typical monotony of a tertiary student. You wake up, head for lessons, fall asleep, wake up confused, return tired. The familiar faces I see each day, the company I have, has been shrinking. With everyone (including me) self declaring the week, or day, e-learning and choose home/hall over school for revision. 

As I have repeatedly whined about, this sem is the most fucked up ever, and hence I'm only taking 3 cores. (Six next sem! Argh) With that, no excuse for not starting revision yet, and no excuse for mediocre grades, yes?

Was supposed to head home this week, but a casual phonecall came with a solution, yay. Called Mommy on Tuesday, thought it'd be better, since she wouldn't have to send me to school today bright and early! But anyhow,  she messaged me a little later:

"Just to let you know I'm baking strawberry cheesecake. Thought you coming home. Hee :)"

-

"Come home lah. Actually I bake for you to take to school tomorrow I send you back."

-

And I did, we baked it together though. I've lotsa pretty (maybe not) pictures of the before, during and after process. We did, cornflake cookies, strawberry cheesecake, strawberry peach cheesecake, pineapple tarts. Yumyumyum. =)

So I didn't study in the end, but who cares.

(Stupid bluetooth isn't working well so I only managed to upload one picture. )

Just yesterday, a peer fell in the LT and was pretty badly injured. Then suddenly the entire row sitting infront of us disappeared. If I were to be the casualty, would the whole row have disappeared too? Or would self-interest, once again, come first.

"What sia, we're like in couple wear."

While I hopelessly try to keep myself entertained for another 40 mins or so,

I have decided to skip testing my patience waiting for TV Serials to load,

attempt to pull a social disappearing act (virtually) by neither signing in FB nor MSN,

and work some brain cells hitting this extremely neglected space.

Let's seee,

over the past weeks,

there have been alot of movies catching, friends catchups, binging, slacking, travelling, training and touch.

Movies:

So on top of Vegas and Ironman, I caught Made Of Honour (courtesy to Mrs. Darcy).

It not only challenged my belief in the existence of purely platonic friendship between the opposite genders, it also battled my tearglands. I thought it was really good and yeah, I'm kinda prepared to watch it a second time already. Haha

And yesterday we movied marathoned with our All-time favourite shows:

The Notebook, A walk to remember.

Watched Joshua cos I thought it'd be thrilling, but no, to our disappointment, it sucked.

Moulin Rouge was unfortunately in Chinese,

and I fell asleep 15mins into Armageddeon. Not that I'm not doing the movie any justice, but it was already past 1am. I deserve to be excused. (:

Friends:

Over the week, I've met D (again), Wendy and Zoe on Monday,

Zooed on Tuesday with S,

Team-ed on Wed,

Lunched with Bao and Team Dinner on Thursday,

Seetohed on Friday, supposed to have supper with Griz and Zi after training (which ended early!!) but had dinner with Ek before delivering a surprise.

Gobbled dinner with Zi and A at the airport on Saturday, where we

Lost a Best Friend to Germany for approximately a month (who has yet to sms me! SEEF you suck! =( Ok kidding, I love you :D )

Missed Zouk with V and J for apparent reasons.

Binging:

I currently have three boxes of cheesecake in cupcake cups in the refrigerator,

not forgetting the ever occasional supper that I allow myself to have since I (supposedly) train too much,

the Macha/Red bean madness at Shokudo on Thursday,

Ben and Jerry's/Ice cream overdose.

And just yesterday, we cooked tomato and cream based pasta for a table of Six.

Ok, I didn't mean WE. I was effectively the assistant being more of a hassle then a help, but yeah. Chef K did all the cooking.

Craved for Waffles, which was Lunch today.

Touch/Training:

Besides the daily trainings alternating between School and Club, the Summer League is finally over. No more Finals against Blacks like I thought we'd have.

We played our last Prelim Rounds and I scored my last touch down for (and of) the season.

The battle scar on my left arm looks slightly disturbing, like a slit across my batwings.

Reminder: Fitness Test Tomorrow! :(

***

I just got back from a day with Luling, baking/Step Up.

And dinner with Hr. Sushi! Again!

I think I need to swear off Jap food for a while.

It was hot, I am tired,

but I am happy (:

Crabbypathy

Crabbypathy: We both overslept today.

Dry weather: Nature trail at Sungei Buloh

But it rained today, irritating.

Hence we proceeded with Wet weather plan @ Crabzcribs.

Brunch at "kickass bachormee" where we found hair in my noodles,

and experienced the most efficient cleaners who swiped our table clean within seconds of our absence.

Baked cookies and decided to add some Starburst gummies and Cadbury chocolate in the already very chocolatey chocolate chip cookie dough. Turned out pretty yummy(:

Caught Licensed to Wed: it was unexpectedly different and sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. (: and Transformers, which got Crabby all jumpy screamy and excited, "heart stopping action" she said.

Dry weather Nature Trail to be postponed, yes? (:

Sometimes when you're incapable of making the right decisions for yourself,

let the wiser and more experienced make it for you.

Just this morning and last night, I prayed about the decision I have to make about going up to KL. Three signs, God showed them all.

Having faith is all it takes, but I'm gonna need the strength; physical and mental, to survive the coming month.

I know I may not be the most competent, the most capable,

but with that, I must remember what my aim of the trip is: experience/exposure, or to shine like a star.

Like J said, I'd take everything with a pinch of salt.

Then again, after so many months, I should be indifferent towards youknowwho's negativity+ lack of faith+ secret hatred towards me and no longer be intimidated.

Back to back trainings tomorrow, but I'm still living with the flu bug.

Couch-slacking Laughters,

After a few days of abandonment,
I return with sore fingers,
and a numb palm.
Spent the afternoon stapling 24290781 stacks that are 38975 pages thick.

Yesterday was good,
it's a bit of everything pleasant accumulated to a mountain of fun (:
From spending probably about an hr or more at Phoon Huat,
deciding what to get, looking for stuff to get,
changing our decisions,
changing back to our original decision,
and eventually leaving empty handed. (haha! I bet the Uncle was damn $%^$%^ with us)

Then I had my mini retail therapy, hooray!

(And I'm suddenly too lazy to continue what happened.
My fingers really hurt man)

I watched Swimfan last night,
and I really liked it.
I kept jerking up from my lying down position,
then slackening back to my lying down position,
and jerking up again.
Hah.

Makes me wanna watch movies.
This time, I will remember to bring my specs!

She says She has Nothing against You,

Yesterday for breakfast, I got to choose between:

• 4 types of Donuts
• Ondeh ondeh
• Mashmallow brownies
• Strawberryjam peach cheesecake
• Custard cream puffs
• Apple cranberry Cookies

Well, I didn't take photo of the brownie nor the cheesecake, so here's the ondehondeh that was heavenly, but exploded when I bit into it, haha, and the cookies my sis bought from Esplanade that costs 28$ (SIAO)

And here is the one month old, Riesia,
And 2 deadly potions that kept us company til almost three in the morning,

Would love to post a picture of MANSON but it's not too clear,
and I'm embarrassed over my emo/morbid turn ahlianxz nails. ):

If looks could kill, I'd be dead by now.

I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CAN'T DENY. (Or is it cannot lie?)

You know,
You're like an old flame I can't get over,
just that You're not a flame, You're a flower.

Ps: Thanks to the tempting website yesterday, I baked StrawberryJamPeach Cheesecake. HOHO HEAVENLY.
I'm on my way to Fatdom, and the Picture, considering all I do is sit and eat. =D

Pps: Welcome home, Army boys!
