October 29 Another week has passed Hello! Training is taking most of my time now as IVP coming on next Sat. Training ended at 10.45pm yesterday and I was pulling myself through at the end of the training. At night did some research for clinical optometry practical until 1.30am then went to sleep. First time stayed up till so late since the new semester starts. The day before yesterday, boy and I went to accompany Yilun for Create Talent Interview. Waited for 1 hour just for the person to interview her. YiLun said that we are like her mao ba and mao ma. haha! sick also accompanied her to polyclinic. LOL! In the end when I reached home, I went to search the company and realised that many teenagers also have this experience like her who were spotted by talent scouts and went for model interview. In the end, the agency there requested them to take portfolio which they had to pay $500 over on it and said they would call them up if there were assignments. Not saying there are no successful case of those who are being spotted by advertisers and paid thousands dollars for one assignment, but the risk of paying up but getting nothing in the end is very big. In the end, Yilun chosed not to go for the agency anymore which I thought it is a wise move bahs. Last tuesday, we finally had our RGP lenses on. OH GOSH!!! The feeling is so irritating and my reflex tears kept flowing non-stop when I had those hard lenses in my eyes. The feeling is like having an eyelash stuck in your eyes but you could not take it out and you even have to open your eyes wide and try to feel comfortable in it. Inserting is easy but I still have some problems taking it out. Have to practise more next time. =D Yesterday, Xuan Bin's mum called me and she wants me to tuition her son next year. So fast already book me. lol! But I told her I will charge at least $10/hr and Melissa said it was quite expensive. Haha! The tuition rate in Singapore here is that for a Pri 2 student, it is at least $10/ hr already. Moreover I am tuitioning a Pri 5 kid wor. Later meeting some wushu peeps to collect costumes with Zhi Yong Coach at Dhoby Ghaut. Monopoly DEAL is addicting! haha! girl <3 boy! October 25 First week of sch and Sentosa TripHello! Finally got some extra time to blog. It feels great to have no tuition now as both of my students have finished their PSLE but I feel that I have the sense of insecurity more when I do not have the extra money to splurge on leisure stuffs anymore. When I got the flyer of tuition assignments for primary school kids, I realised how SUPER CHEAP my tuition fares is and I have decided to increase to at least $10/hour next time when I tuition others. School has reopened. I have made a decision to sleep before 11pm every night apart from the days that I will be having training which is on MON, WED, FRI and SAT. It's nice to be back to studying again at least for now. HAHA! First week of study seems to be relaxing for me. I thought inserting and taking out of soft lenses would be very difficult and challenging but somehow it's quite fun and I did it last week! RGP hard lenses for this week prac and I am feeling nervous as seniors have been saying that we will tear a lot when we first insert it into our eye. I love my timetable too as I got to 先苦后甜 with Monday to Wednesday ,very stressful and tiring days, and thursday and friday a relaxing one. =) For wushu, IVP is merely left with 12 days and our Ji Ti Quan has not done with the rhythmn for the movements to be synchronised with the music. My individual Cha Quan routine also has not been practising recently. Sadly, I felt my standard dropped a lot after China Trip especially my flying kicks. My flexibility increased a little though. It may due to the fact that my stamina has not regained fully yet. But something that I am very sure of is that the springy carpet at China there really KILLS me. My legs are so used to the springy carpet there that when I jump on the normal carpet in SP, it will lag on the ground for a milisecond before jumping, causing me to jump lower and with no 空感 at all. I was so depressed after last friday's training which was my first official training in SP after coming back from China. I TOTALLY LOST THE FEEL OF MY FEI JIAO AND BAI LIAN!!!!! AND I LEFT NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS FOR MY IVP! =((((((((((((((((((((((( We had training on friday till 11.30pm. GOSH! And the following day we even went to Sentosa and then at night training again!!!  (Buying some snacks at vivomart before heading to sentosa. Yuan Qing's dead body floating in the water.LOL! AND GROUP PHOTO!)  (Boy and I. First time we sat the skyride and LUGE. I thought it wasnt so scary and high but I was wrong. I did not know it was higher at the last part of the sky ride. My boy was afraid of heights and his palms were already perspiring A LOT even before we sat onto it. He did not talk to me throughout the whole skyride except for asking me to stop moving around and taking photos. >.< Both of his hands clutching onto the bar tightly. Seeing him nervous, I also got a bit nervous at the last and highest part of the ride. FUN AND THRILLING! The LUGE was not as exciting as skyride, it was like the flying turtle which I rode when I was young.  (Wei Xiang, Saen and Yuan Qing were behind us!)  (AHHH! Open mouth! Yuan Qing's funny pose of peeing. In the monorail with boy, Li Yan and Saen)  (we went to this HK restaurant at vivocity. The food there were cheap compared to other restaurant and their delicacies there are simply delicious!!! THANKS TO SAEN for introducing this restaurant to us. I swear I want to be back there dining soon again!) Apart from the scorching sun at the Siloso beach,, we managed to have some fun with frisbee and soccer there. Fadhil and Yuan Qing playing in the waters. Playing at the Imbiah Walk and then dining at a restaurant. Luckily everyone survived the training after that. LOL! BS LOVES BG! October 20 China Training Trip (10th June- 18th June)Hello! I am still recovering from my gastric pain. So just a short summary of what I had did at XIAMEN, JIMEI! Day 1 (10/11/2009) The hostel that I was sharing with Janice, Hui Ying and Li Yan was better than I have expected. I love its blanket the most. Cosy and warm. :) And we realised the distance from our hostel to 竞武馆 is half and hour walk. Imagined we have to walk 4 times a day during training days. Eating China Fast Food outlet after that. Boy and I thought we were ordering chicken satays when instead they were ostrich meat! The taste turned out quite delicious! Day 2 (11/11/2009) Had morning jog around the tracks for 5 rounds and I started to have pre-mense pain. The weather was chilling and imagined me jogging with a jacket over me and it was still freezing cold. Temperature must be around 20 degree celsius with the morning wind blowing so strongly. BRR! My perspiration evaporated off instantaneously. Afternoon time was spending in the hostel watching 喜洋洋 and 灰太狼 cartoon and do not forget the lyrics china version! super hilarious! Ate at a splendid restaurant for dinner and there was even a lady playing piano for us. Day 3 (12/11/2009) Training has started. We all like the male coach who taught us in the morning session more as he was always there to correct our mistakes. Unlike the female coach in the afternoon session who only sat down at the side. -.-. Ate Xiao Long Bao for lunch!!! We were training with the girls school team in the afternoon session and their standard were very good, especially their chao tian deng! They kicked their legs straight up and held it side by side with their head, standing on the other balanced leg. And this was their warm up!!! We all practically stunned there for a few seconds, not knowing how to continue. LOL! Worse to worst, their physical training was CRAZY! I think because of the physical training, it left me half dead for the rest of the days afterwards seriously. 3 sets of 40 原地快跑， 10 standard push-ups, 30 腹肌 and 背肌. Day 4 (13/11/2009) MUSCLE ACHE!!! DIFFICULTY CLIMBING STAIRS! LET ALONE RAN 5 ROUNDS! I thought I would give up halfway but the male coach kept pushing us on. Spamming myself with Counterpain became my daily chore at there afterwards! Wake up -> Breakfast -> Half and hour walk to school -> Morning Training -> Lunch -> Half and hour back to hostel and rest -> Half and hour back to school -> Evening Training -> Dinner -> Half and hour back to hostel -> Sleep. ( repeated for 5 days) Day 5 (14/11/2009) 16th Month Anniversary of Boy and Me! Muscle ached like hell lot now. When doing horse stance, I was already bearing the pain at my upper thigh. Trying to do deep breathing to stable my mood down but I think it must be PMS causing my mood to be so unstable that I could not control my tears from rolling down as waves of pain, muscle ache and disappointment in myself engulfed me intermittently. I did not practise for the evening session and just sat at the side doing stretching and counterpain!!! =( Day 6 (15/11/2009) Thigh muscles were not so pain anymore. It had turned to my buttock muscles. My muscles endurance is really super LOUSY! Hais. Day 7 (16/11/2009) Last training!!! Muscles were still aching and managed to pull through. At night went to the restaurant again and had my beef steak which I regretted so badly on Sat, the next day. Day 8 (17/11/2009) Woke up at night because of bites that I had at my right eye and my eye turned so swollen that I could not open completely. Foolishly, I even applied medicinal oil to my eyelid. What a stupid optometrist-to-be! I was tearing in the toilet alone and afraid of what to do when my eyes sting and hurt a lot! Managed to get coaches' help and thanks to their care, I was asked to sleep in their bunks as we assumed that my bed was dirty. Having gastric discomfort when I woke up first thing in the morning. Took public transport to boat quay to take a boat to Gu Lang Yu. Suddenly my menses came, and together with my gastric discomfort getting worser and worser, I could barely stand straight anymore. Together with Hui Ying who had gastric pain too, KY coach and his friend brought the two of us and boy who accompanied me to the hospital at the Gu Lang Yu. I vomitted outside the general consultation room with the guide of boy of teaching me how to vomit. It was all the beef steak that I ate last night. YUCKS! Shared bland porridge with boy and ate the prescripted medicine. Vomitted at the same place again and my porridge all came out. Felt better and Hui Ying and I decided to tour with the others. Unfortunately when we were having lunch, mense pain came over me this time with nauseousness. Second time having mense pain attack outdoors. Super unbearable and torturing. Could not sit still nor keep my mouth shut from groaning in pain. Panadol Menses had no effect on me. Took painkillers and I vomitted minutes after that. Surrendered and KY coach with Hui Ying, boy with I went back to our hostel for rest. All I could do was sleep and vomit again at the hostel while the rest toured outside. Hais. Day 9 (18/11/2009) Still had no appetite. Wonder how I gone through these 2 days with only few bites of food. Wished so much to be back home straightaway. Motion sickness on plane. ARGH. Overall, everyone still had their fun though except the day when I fell sick. I want my stamina back and chiong for IVP!!!  (on plane with boy!)  (Li Yan and me! Eating La Mian at Yi Si LAN JIAO restaurant! HAHA!)  (Mac "Fluffy"! MAI MAO MAO!)  (night scene after evening training. Their 6pm there is like 9pm here!)  (drinking milk tea!!! NICEEE!)  (plane view of Singapore)  (Me at the training grounds)  (Us with the male handsome coach!) BS <3 BG! October 09 A last goodbye to everyone before my China trip Hello! Yesterday had Laos briefing after our two student leaders were back from their recee at there. I was shocked when I heard about the accommodation, food and the places we will tour around at there. Shock not because it is bad, BUT it is AMAZING! First, our accommodation for 2 weeks there (12th June - 26th June 2010) will be in a hotel! They showed us how our toilets look like. WOW! It looks nicer than my house's one. Second, they said it just takes a 1 min walk to the cafe and pizza parlour beside and Laos was colonised by French in the past so their pizzas are much better than here! Third, the place where we are having eye screening is not some ulu village but a school with kindergarten, primary and secondary school! Quite a privileged school with all different levels of children and teens. Fourth, we have 4 days of Free and Easy! They had come up with many plans on where to shop, play and tour. Hope it wont disappoint me :) We thought this briefing was a short one but I left the school around 4pm after helping to pack and recycle those specs. Predict that there will be many times that we have to stay back to sort out those specs. It's tiring work. Today had wushu committee meeting. Went to boy's house after that. I practised my ckf at his playground while he practised all sorts of his flying kicks. Boy's back is straighter now when he kicked while I still have phobia and my hands kept wanting to touch the floor. Had his mum's fish soup plus rice as dinner and it was so delicious! Yummy! Went to Northpoint Starbucks and we ordered Dark Chocolate Mocha! I love that the most till now. Then we realised there is "Each a Cup" at the basement Cold Storage and if we had known it earlier, we would actually buy that. -.- .jpg) (not a good one actually. still far from Liyan, Yilun and Janice) Tmr I will be going to XIAMEN, CHINA!!! Second time taking plane and first time going to China! I do not dare to look forward this trip in the holidays cos that means that sch is reopening soon since the next day after I come back from China is school and training at night! I guess everyone will be anticipating on next next Monday training to see our standards for those going to China Trip. Worried that I may not have enough time to rest. Worried that my menses will 'kill' me at China. Worried that my muscle aches will be unbearable. I always have this unsafe feeling when I am on plane too. >.< Have to keep all these worries aside, if not I will not be able to turn in tonight. Waking up at 4.30am tmr and taking taxi to Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 5am. Meeting the rest at 5.45am to settle some stuffs and have breakfast together. Well, boy's parents and my mum meeting for the first time. Although it's not any formal meeting, I still feel bit of nervous. BYE EVERYONE AND SINGAPORE!!! October 07 Meeting with Sec Sch Friends! Hello! Last Saturday just met up with SiYing to have Ajisen Ramen and chit-chatting. Ordered original ramen at Causeway Point outlet and it was so salty!!! Gulped down lots of water after that. I still prefer the spicy one. Just now went to meet Zijing and ShiYan to have dinner at Jurong Safra, Ishimura. Had a bad experience at the Northpoint outlet as the food was sucky there. Wanna try out at Jurong Safra and still I find the food so-so only. After today's meeting with them and also telling me about how I will express my anger out if I am angry with them as I treat them as my best friends, they agreed and support my idea. =) I realised sharing some private things with them will somehow makes me feel closer to them. Thanks girls =) I will miss you girls.  (shiyan who did not want to be shoot and zijing)  (the 3 of us always!) girl <3 boy! October 04 Mid- Autumn FestivalHello! Alvin suddenly told me just now that Janice and him performing wushu at my house nearby, Taman Jurong Shopping Centre and I quickly went down to support them and shun bian gave Janice a panadol. Was wearing home clothes >.<. Got Zhang Qian and few others pro RP students and heard from Janice that the items that they were performing will be in IVP also so I recorded the whole performance which lasted 15 mins long! The performance stage for them is really damn small that one of the guy do xuan zi until fall off the stage but they still put up an amazing performance! CLAPS CLAPS! Yesterday went to WeiRong house to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. Despite saying that the full moon yesterday night was the brightest in this century, we could only see little white shades of the moon as it just rained and the sky was cloudy. =(. The weather is very humid also that we felt sticky and uncomfortable especially in WeiRong's house. Yet we still had a lot of fun eating his mum specially cooked buffet and also playing of lanterns! I still rmb how we joked on Jian Siong prayed with joss sticks and jumping around like a hip hop guy, Jing Xiu praying with her "oh my god".  (the 6 of us preparing lanterns!!!)  (playing at the playground!)  (emo-ing with our lanterns)  (full shot with everyone! some had already left)  (boy and me with cool effects! lols!) girl <3 boy! October 03 Creamy chicken pasta and sushi Hello! Just now 's training while doing my routine, I could feel my right arm aching as I had a flu jab near boy's house today. Went to the job briefing for Tuas data entry at Bugis early in the morning. Boy is starting work this coming Monday while I still have to wait for the person to call me as I have written my mum's particulars wrongly. The day before today, boy came to my house and we cooked creamy chicken pasta! We finally able to make the sauce our own as I had bought the whipping cream from Carrefour! THE PASTA IS SO DELICIOUS!!! It tasted like we bought it from pasta mania! Found this recipe online with 700 over ppl saying its standard can fight with restaurants and I totally agreed to it! Today, I brought over my sushi cooking stuffs to boy's house and we made sushi together for the first time. The lesson I have learnt from today is that I should not add too much water for the sushi rice. Gave some to Liyan, SingHai, JianSiong and YuanQing to eat. Hope it taste edible to them cos we didnt care about the appearance of the sushi at the end that much after rolling nicely for the first few times.  (boy using a sushi mat to roll the sushi! Got this from Ms Pat's last year sushi cooking lesson!) I just found out something that people like friends who will work hard and chiong together with them. But not those who keep on saying how tiring or how will this thing will be better if it is like this, cos it will make the listener himself to feel discouraged and unmotivated. And the problem is the things that the person usually comments on is on things that could not be change, e.g like an order from a higher position. So instead of complaining how tiring or commenting on how it will be better when that particular thing could not change in the first place, people will really appreciate if that person can start to do the other way round - which is to motivate them and encouraged them to carry on. Participate in events together even though it may be tiring. this will toughen the friendship bonds too. These are what friends are for, motivating you but not discouraging you. Many times, too much opinions about something that could not be change will turn people off. Strive hard together and like what the chinese saying goes , 有福同享， 有难同当! girl loves boy! October 01 Zoo Excursion! Hello! Yesterday went out with 7 other wushu peeps to the Singapore Zoological Gardens!!! The weather was not too hot and sunny, just nice! We walked almost continuously from 10am to 5pm. Imagine how tired we were after that to go for training afterwards! Tired but loads of fun!!!  (meeting at CCK at 9am early in the morning. Saen and me! Saen tidying up his hair for the pose but too late!)  (waiting for bus 927 and raymond was being blocked by yuan qing)  (Me and LiYan! Dont dare to move too much.)  (YO! We Are Brothers! Including the hippo! Fadhil, Raymond and Yuan Qing)  (Just outside Ah Meng Restaurant! Boy and me)  (Imitating the flamingoes which were beside us. Standing on one leg!)  (WOO HOO!!! ELEPHANT RIDE! Costs $8 for one. very expensive! just took a short ride but we laughed throughout the ride as we tried to balance properly)  (Saen, Fadhil, Boy and me)  ('we should be accompanied by adult'. >.<)  (Imitating the goats' sleeping pose)  (In the rainwater kids splashworld! Row, row, row your boat!)  (Twist!!!)  (This Ah Ma scared me out as I was the first to enter this room.)  (Saen and I cooking in the kampong house)  (Biggest see-saw that we played! See Yuan Qing's butt shaking in front of the camera!)  (ROAR!!! T-REX!)  (Li Yan and me and her favourite animal, GIRAFFE!!!)  (In a cave-like exhibition!)  (Last but not least, Yuan Qing on this tortoise statue which I think is breaking into pieces soon! HAHA!) SO much fun we had yesterday! Everyone played as though we are lacking this in our childhood. It feels so good to be young, especially with a group of 志同道合 friends like them! =) |
