happy birthday

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE (:


Hoho okay today. Firstly started off hte day with training and birthday smses and training. Bleargh technique. And birthday emails (: Then slacked the morning. TILL mayumi called me to go down to the pool cause she wanted to give me my present. She told me it was too big for her to carry and i was so blur i didnt see the problem with it. Hahaha and i kept keeping a distance away from the pool cause i was scared she wanted to push me in. Lawl anyway we walked roudn the pool and i noticed that the top of the barbecue hut closest to the pool had balloons tied to it. I thought it was her family that did it la lawl. We couldnt see anything other than the roof and a bit of the pillars cause of the plants. Then we passed the plants and...


YAY! Everyone suddenly popped out and shouted "surprise!" (or was it happy birthday?) I was STUNNED. Haha totally surprised okay. And they were spraying that party stuff and confetti all over. Haha and i saw the barbecue hut they had hung ribbons, streamers?, balloons and decorated it. I was so happy (: And i didnt cry (: Then i saw the table full of food! Ahhhh. I just couldn't believe that all of them came here to give me a party without me knowing x) Hahaha i am still very happy okay. There was so much food we couldn't finish. And my cake was a bigbig one from my bestie from sweet secrets! and birthday song! Ahhh huge okay (: THANKS NAOMI.


And i loved my presents too! Thank you everyone. I loved the "happy birthday yao" banner! Thanks samm. And everyone who went down to decorate the place. Ahhh then we played at the playground and basketball at the court. It was fun. And i got dunked in the pool! Plus rachel yeo, rachel yeung, peck and samm. Hoho and when shawn came with the brownie cake from sweet secrets, i felt so guilty. Ahhhh BUT THANKS UNCLE SHAWN LEE FOR COMING THOUGH I HARDLY KNOW YOU. Thanks samm and naomi for organising this (: Thanks everyone for coming!

life sucks

lawl. you know when i woke up this afternoon i looked out of the window, i thought eh why the ships at sea got decoration ah. Haha cause their lights instead of round balls, looked like 0. Then i was like weird, then i went to the other window to look out and i was so shocked. Cause all the buildings and lights far far away, the hundreds of lights at night, all looked like zeros 0, instead of solid dots. Haha i think there's something wrong with my eyes, how? It's quite scary actually, to look at the whole world out there and see all the empty circles. Gives you a scary feeling ): How?


Ahh anyway this week's been soo busy. And gahhh it won't let up till week 7 i think ): Next saturday im not even sure if i can go for the open champs. I have eye checkup on that day, and i also really want to go for the CIP carnival. Gahh. How?

There's no way you're a control freak. You're totally laid back - and able to take life as it comes.While you definitely have a healthy mental attitude, don't get suckered into letting someone control you.

joining

My new favourite song -- high! by lighthouse family. You know when i first heard it, i thought "we are gonna be" was "we are family". Lawl.


I survived week3. And im feeling so happy okay (: It has been such a busybusy week. But then last week i skipped lots of training, and this week i havent gone at all. Lol i dont even know if im taking party in open champs. Aiya i cant swim liao. Anyway swim for what, probably no pb. Ah and my parents are quite annoyed that i haven't been going training i think. But i seriously dont feel like going back training. But then i can really feel myself growing fat and unhealthy here. Ahhhh. I hate that feeling. Ive eaten at macs like four times this week, lots and lots of junk food and sweets. Skipped some lunches. Haha how like that?


The next 3 weeks are gonna be sooo busy cause we have no lessons from week 7 - 10 so i cant wait to get it over with. I really hope dmp will be fun (hoho and people are still going crazy over the selections) Im growing fat and my stomach is huge. I think im becoming a retiree soon but im really too tired.


School would really be so fun if we didnt have to do all those work and classes, and mugging, and homework and all. In fact, i think i would pretty much love it then xD for some reason, i found today quite fun. Even the speeches. Haha that was fun for some reason and i think im beginning to like 3L even more and more.


Not looking forward to going back training. but then, unlike some people, i can choose when, if ever, i want to go back (: tmr la. REALLY. (unless i feel like not going again then ah well)

glide

haha i koped this from tom's blog.


Glide

=====


Jogging is a world of experience by itself.


After 3 miles or so, I felt a pain in my left leg.


Not a major pain, it just felt like the beginning of a cramp.


I began to limp. I didn't want to put any excess pressure onthe leg because I had over three miles to go even if I turnedaround and headed straight back, and I wasn't at the halfwaypoint yet.


Something said, "Glide."


Glide?


I began to notice how I was running with the limping action.My gait was uneven. It was awkward.I didn't know the exact kinetics, but I knew the un-rhythmic motion was putting additional strain on my leg muscles.


So I began to glide.


I focused on running smoothly.

I let my feet touch the pavement as light as possible.

Like a swan skimming over a lake, I concentrated to make each step as graceful as possible.


Within a minute, my left leg felt fine.


It was a MountainWings Moment.


Often when pain hits us, we lose our grace and become awkward.


We shuffle, stumble, bumble, weave, wobble, hobble, and stagger.


If we just glide and stay smooth, often the pain goes away,because the rough motion makes it worse, not better.


Someone criticizes us. . . OUCH!

We shuffle, stumble, bumble, weave, wobble, hobble, and stagger.


Someone offends us. . . OUCH!

We shuffle, stumble, bumble, weave, wobble, hobble, and stagger.


Someone has a difference of opinion. . . OUCH!

We shuffle, stumble, bumble, weave, wobble, hobble, and stagger.


Someone doesn't respond the way we think they should. . .

OUCH!We shuffle, stumble, bumble, weave, wobble, hobble, and stagger.


Instead of maintaining our peace, the smooth gait, we become frustrated. That makes the pain worse, not better.

Instead of forgiving and forgetting, we retaliate and remember.

That often makes the pain worse.


Many of life's pains would go away if we'd just learn to glide. Yes, it hurts, but the shuffling and stumbling usually doesn'thelp.


While jogging (or with any exercise) if pain starts, it's usually wise to just stop. This was more a spiritual revelation yet, it applied to physical things.


If we can keep our movements, thoughts, emotions, and spiritsmooth, that often takes us right over the rough things.

monday tmr sch nats

Hoho i have selected all my dmp modules (: and i am so proud of myself haha. I took 1.5 hours to do it. Lol but SOME people took three hours hor hahahaha. It's really damn stress. From 3.40 spill all the way to past 5.30. Oh that's almost 2 hours right? Lol damn annoying. And i didnt get to choose all the modules i wanted then gahh.


So i didnt go training. At all today. Hmm not like i particularly feel like going anyway. But i must get my fitness up soon. And hopefully do well for open champs. But it's not like anyone gives a shit about inhouse competitions anymore hor. Haha nobody even stays behind for the prize presentations. I bet it gets a bit boring after a few years. Lol and there wont be any small kids getting prizes for open champs anyway.


And i have been reading books i have read before the whole day today. And i have loads of homework to be done. Ah well again all the languages. Arent they annoying. Lol my dmp modules are...



calligraphy

ways of reading

logic and paradoxes

transformations

writing film criticism

germany: birth of a dictator

huntington's disease and ethics


Doesnt it look fun -.- But then week 7 to 10 no lessons! I think i can live with it.

sad

I guess. I do feel a little bit very sad. Is it my fault? Enjoying my break now.




You know when you gave your love away

It opens your heart, everything is new

And you know time will always find a way

To let your heart believe it's true


You know love is everything you say

A whisper, a word, promises you give

You feel it in the heartbeat of the day

You know this is the way love is


Amarantine
Amarantine
Amarantine
Love is, love is, love


You know love may sometimes make you cry

So let the tears go they will flow away

For you know love will always let you fly

How far a heart can fly away


Amarantine
Amarantine
Amarantine
Love is, love is, love


You know when love's shining in your eyes

It may be the stars falling from above

And you know love is with you when you rise

For night and day belong to love

gagadollz

Dearest someone told me i should edit it. so.


[edit]


I think i have a very biased coach. And i dont like my coach very much.


If i don't do well for my STRAIGHT FINALS events tmr morning and wednesday, i will blame someone. For not tapering me when he said that i would have a four day taper. For not allowing me to get up and do my homework so i could sleep by eleven tonight. Well if i do well then credit goes to me anyway since i haven't been training under him much lately duh.



-censored-


and it doesnt look so nice now.
