you know what..

heart-stopping action ftw.. haha!

so i had brunch with nw at anatolia today, his treat. and i realized tt random occassional treats actually make you enjoy them more.. plus i'd hafta admit tt it was a wise move tt i pay for my own stuffs, esp considering my daily food intake and all.. lols.

yup then met sis at 3plus to catch National treasure at ps at 4.05.. exciting show yay! so basically today was a very nice day uhuh..

i'll be away from tmr and will be back by the 31st.. vacation to malaysia, cameron highlands etc.. hope dad decides to stop by kl so'd i can take advantage of the year-end sale there yup..

kay guess tt's all..

who'd have guessed we'd make it till now? happy 33rd, love.. =)

confuzzled

wonderful. i wrote a 2paragraph long entry bout my outing wth the dudes, ie FariNa and melz, but blogger, despite it's auto saving shitz, still lost it all. wth really.

so now i will write a short bit bout the outing so may the dudes/liyana forgive me.

rights so we went out on sat where i finally claimed my swensens treat from na. na was, for the first time, the earliest, but apparently farin came even earlier but went to pray at al-falah first.. O.o anws, i already had mom-made spaghetti at home so i only had a choco malt ice cream and shared fries with melz. happy food yay! yar then we wanted to watch Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium (which really is a lovely show) and since i watched it already, they offered to split the cost of my ticket. awww.. but the queue was long so we decided to.. *drumrolls* pool instead! at le meridien.. shady wahahs! melz was dressed rather skankily so she borrowed my windbreaker to make up for the lack of cloth.. signboard jacket ftw lol! pooled for an hour then na had to leave and we walked to ps where we spent a short while finding melz' dad a xmas prezze but spent a long long long time at a bimb accessories shop where melz spent a fortune.. yar.. =/

the past few days havent been tt eventful tho.. on sunday morning, i went to the park with dad and sisters and i ran approx 4k with dad. then we went to a wedding till late aftn. yst i didnt follow mom out, save for brunch with younger sis, and spent time at home ironing clothes, packing my bag for hols and played Sims castaway on sis' psp. -.- today, i did some weights training cos i realized tt i was flabbing up ultra fast. then i psp-ed. then did weights again. and watched tv.

for most of the eoy hols, i had trainings. caught up with friends. did a whole lot of random rubbish and basically was out most of the time. and yet when im at home, i still dont do any mugging. honestly, i dont know what's to become of me. damn As..

dancing xmas tree

christmas is all around me, and so the feeling grows~

lol at least tt's what i think the song's like.. =/ xmas party at bern's today was alright.. i left early at 6.30 before the party actually really started so poots la.. the gifts under the tree were really very pretty! i didnt do gift exchange but i gave my buddy, ie jr the gift tt i bought haha! she gave me a nike bottle yay! the girls exco gave us stockings stuffed full with sweets and chocs whee! and jerome actually bought xmas hats and personalized it with our names wahh so damn nice! =D

i only ate chocs there so i stuffed myself when i got home haha! we watched Love actually there yay! such a sweet sweet sweet show..

anws, was looking thru the big box of ncc prezzes and cards tt i collected over the four years.. they were dusty and made my eyes teary and i kept sneezing like some diseased cow.. in any case, gah the memories! i miss the company! and my babies ahh i miss my little partas.. boos. we might be crashing one trg next yr.. hope we manage to do tt.. mon and wed are both canoeing trgs so.. urgh hope we can free up at least one day.. i miss ncc so much ack.

ob outing on wed was cancelled.. was gonna go to meera's house for the baking thing but i got lazy cos her hse is all the way in kembangan.. =/ met up with nw instead for 1.5 hrs.. hari raya haji yst was basically spent at aunts place where we ate alot. yup and sisters and cousins and i went to gv at yishun to watch Alvin and the chipmunks lol! very very typical storyline but the animation's really really cute la owells.. theodore awww..

okay tt's all for today, im getting sleepy boos. going out with FariNa and melz tmr.. finally haha! =)

eightasone always

pltn outing at priya's house was awesomee! hahaha i came first at ard 1.50pm and pltnmates slowly came one by one afterwards.. full pltn finally! jy just came back from uk only this morning poor thing.. we watched Hitched and the Simpsons, pigged out and ordered canadian pizza for dinner.. i had 5 slices yay! =D

then we crashed py's room for xmas exchange.. yz gave me a fluffy blue towel haha! i gave sn a Digipet lawl.. yupyup then we took pictures on the webcam on py's laptop haha! it was almost exactly like squeezing into a neoprint booth back in our cadet years cept tt it was a tad bit less frantic hoho! yup we took videos too! i took up half of the screen each time, which wasn't much of a surprise to pltnmates lol.. anw anw we did a music video of our pltn song.. "where the fields are green, i'll see you once again, my loveee", and we also sang the first ever pltn song parta ncos thought us, which was "Nothing's gonna stop us" and we also sang "Right here waiting" yup! but py just told me tt someone closed the programme without saving so meh we lost everything.. =/ owells another reason for us to get together again yay! haha!

LOVELOVE PLTNMATES! =)

anw, appointment at Alexandra hospital was Meh. i asked for a referral to a sports doc but i couldnt make it for the initial slot which was during canoe overseas trip, so i got postponed to today, but he wasnt a sports doctor and i duno it was just the same as the polyclinic cept tt it costed a whole lot more.. took an xray tho which was quite funny.. hospital gowns are so ugh and unglam and they make you take off your bra.. =// ack.

anw i hafta go back there in feb to make sure nothing's wrong.. cos it's apparently only muscle ache which should be normal for sports ppl.. like it's so trivial like tt.. kinda pissed me off i guess cos it really hurts like shit sometimes and i freaking know what normal muscle ache is la.. but whatever la.. i insisted to go to a sports clinic for feb.. either way, even if it's nothing, the doctor might actually tell me what i did wrong or like how i can make sure i can avoid having it happen to me again.. whatever la wasted time and money there only..

Hady's Asian idol.. =/ so strange. i thought jaclyn victor was most deserving cos her vocals really is awesome.. sis youtubed one of the performances tt channel 5 didnt show.. Abhijeet and Hady sang Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and it was super super adorable ahh.. ><

OKAY tired. ob outing to ecp park to cycle on wed.. so exciting! prolly gonna be only 4 of us again.. and i'd be the only girl around lol..

the weather after the rain's really pretty..


lols.. i love macritchie! =D

lol reunion

haha yeah met up with some of the ob dudes today.. today sposedly only 4 of could make it. jeriel maggi nichola and me. then nichola had stuff on and could only join us later. then maggi decided to bail out on us again. then it was just jeriel and me. then nichola decided to bail out on us too. then somehow sara and weiliang could make it. so there were 4 of us in the end. and we pooled. it was very fun.

haha! might have another outing on tues/wed but sara cant make it boos..

went out for brunch with family and aunt today. the guy at the drinks stall was hitting on me and it was scary. went boonlay awhile where mom bought me jeans and a dress thing. haha!

the weather today is anxious with a tinge of melancholy

lol

how now brown cow?

row today was great.. arms are aching like mad, but i must say tt i feel good anws. meera and i really pushed ourselves for our 18k and eventho we were the only two t1s suffering in the stupid bathtubs, we did fairly well. meera is damn good to pace manz. the sky was magnificient. huge fluffy cumulonimbus(sp? haha!) clouds were just awesomely pretty..

back hurts. ohyeah and meera and i were getting quite hysterical during our last 4k,laughing and grunting in turn, cos we were really damn shagged. partly the reason on my part i guess..

i wish i'd just grow up. stop all this moodswinging. think before i talk.

i wish i'd just make up my mind about how i feel. sometimes i feel that i am right but i actually voice out my opinions, i realize that "oh dear" maybe my views really are flawed. funny how varying viewpoints tend to be oh so clear only when it's too late. and i figured tt i've been so consumed by my own needs/wants tt i dont see the sacrifices tt have been made for me. and of course, realizing this now, i'll soon forget and be all self-centred again. ugh. might be too late to realize this huh. you're so stupid, syimah.

i love you

blow

just saw some of the snrs' vids on youtube.. i hadnt realized just how much im gonna miss them.. esp the t1 j2 girls, ie yangyang joohui and jolene.. having been in the snr team has been a great honour, being able to row with very inspiring snrs who've taught me to give my all and row with heart.

missing them already manz. i hardly know how much more i need to give for every row..

gym today was relatively gg i guess.. but getting quite used to it cos im not really aching now.. back kinda hurts tho and my right tricep completely died on me during one of the sets for some strange reason or another..

lately trgs have been fuelled by thoughts of blowing the other boats out of the water.. reaching the last buoy with heart pumping and knowing tt i've left the other boats behind. but i have to admit tt sometimes the future scares me. as in here we are, during trgs, feeling gg after not-so-hellish sets, and we'll be competing against schools like nj who train like mad. how are we sposed to compete with that? very very scary.. but i guess fearing my competitors is alright just as long as this fear is able to empower me to train harder, row faster.

someday i might just taste victory.. =)

limits

you know sometimes, when you love someone, you just want to spend every moment with them. but sometimes perhaps, we should know when to stay away. sometimes i wonder if i'd drive nw away, being so clingy like that.

but then, looking back, i wonder if i didnt have him, i would've spent more time with my friends. i wouldnt have missed out on the many things tt i have. feeling quite disconnected sometimes. unwanted.

then it just sucks when you think of all the stuffs you've sacrificed. whether it's even worth it.

and also, every girl in a relationship would probably wonder if they can do better. get someone who'd appreciate them more. or is this really The one. till death do us part. cant help but wonder huh?

i know the problem is essentially me. all my idealistic thoughts about what a perfect relationship should be. Of course he has his own life to live. Of course he cant devote all his time to me. neither will any other guy really. so the sooner im able to live with that fact, the better.

grow up, syimah.

i should be sleeping now

bad day

firstly, i capped in my t1 near the pontoon soon after i set off for my first k. i duno wth happened but it was embarrassing and i felt woozy after tt.. py's getting faster and i got her to make sure she was never more than a buoy away. the only problem was tt i was damn stressed having to make sure i kept up my frequency.. oh wait. tt's actually a good thing, yes? owells..

2k timing. deproved by 13secs. jkahdbf87t3v qjksanjkgfq[ietkwel. =( something disgustingly UGH happened tho during 2k timing and it was veryvery distracting. but of course, no excuses. wed, sub 12? row row row!

it's almost becoming an obsession. awesome.. but bad days like today make me feel so awful and weak and loser-ish. bother..

and back's hurting again..

sometimes i wish i could use the same drive tt i have when canoeing, in my studies.. i cant afford to screw up next year manz..

something strange/amusing/disturbing happened today.. cheryl and i were in the toilet then suddenly some old man came out of the cubicle and he'd been smoking.. im not too sure if he knew tt he was in the wrong toilet.. =/

ohwells. tired..

some things to look forward to:
ob sabah kondiu reunion!: this friday
pltnmates gathering at py's!: monday
sports doc appt: monday

=/

baby steps

trg yst.. improved 2k timing yes! 12.22

ria remix poots

anw J2 farewell yst was funn.. there wasnt much food tho but okay la i think just about everyone got fed.. at first it was like some gambling den cos the guys were playing card games.. the j2 guys came and played also.. the j1 girls not writing the notes were made to mingle so we played Snap and Heartattack. i finally wasnt the slowest! liangjie and ge tied for most blur hoho! then the rest of the girls went up to write the notes, then we ate, then we blowed bubbles with the bubble gum tt ge got from hongkong, then we played tug-o-war.. over the pool yayy!

the rope was quite painful.. =/ i was in group 4 and i was the only girl nyeh! noone really fell in during the game but afterwards everyone just kept dunking each other.. 6 j1 girls stayed dry including me haha! tho i should've jumped in cos it looked fun but i didnt bring extra clothes bah..

then we did the candle on floating boats thing.. it was really pretty.. haha then the names on the boats started catching fire and the chingx water buffalo waded ard.. very anti-climatic but still very entertaining la.. haha! then they gave out prezzes and i hadta go poots..

got home at 10.30 and i knocked out at 11 with a horrid headache..

went to the park this morning with dad and sisters to play basketball.. i've lost my touch.. =(

did some physics so i guess my day isnt totally wasted..

kay water trg tmr so i better rest up.. gotta cut down summore on my 2k timing.. every improvement counts and i'll finally reach my ultimate goal.. baby steps yup..

portrait

gym today was gg.

and zomg im so bloody noob cos i didnt know half/or more of the sets tt we did. as meera would quote, (me to py) : priya, what's a fly? ugh.

so anw, i think i learned fast enough. set a few goals which i met and was quite pleased with my progress. gym-ing's fun.. and quite some amusing things happened.. like how we realized tt the poster of the diff muscles of the human body resembled muchly a portrait of liangjie's form.. hoho! im so gonna get half his muscles man. not all cos then i'd look freaky.. =/

water trg yst. hit my pb again i think. 2k timing 12.25 on my t1. okay la i guess.. esp since i degenned like crap already.. sub 12 by march, yes? hope so..

anw, the cip thing at Yong en centre was amusing.. reconsidering my activity centre.. upper pri sch kids can be quite scary.. the younger kids are reaaally cute tho. yupyup! oh and haha an 11 yr old boy asked for my no. and apparently tried to cover up by asking for fung's no. but since he didnt contact me, i can assume tt he did Not try to hit on me. yar.. haha!

owells tt's all for updates i guess.. raffles row ftw! =)
