People say that I don't update my blog very often. Agree. But during those no-blogging period, there were many things running thru my head that i wanted to blog about. Erm, I'm plain lazy.
The top thing to blog about: DB. My current greatest fear about db: Pullups. Reason: cos I simply can't pull myself up. At least now i can do abit of the "body" support instead of "leg". I'm trying...... maybe not hard enough. Twisting. I'm really trying....... maybe just not hard enough. Gym incline press, not standard. Shall try to "standardize" it the next time round. Time trial.. i guess my situps (42) is the worst in the team. Same for pushups (38) i realise that my pushup isn't standard too. Butt must go higher. Running(13.15min) wasn't that great too. Though i've improved and for tt moment i was glad about that, i realised that it's not good enough. Nonetheless, I'm slowly enjoying DB. Kinda shiok running and rowing. 1/2 motivated by the birthday note given by some of the db gurls. Instead of the usual "all the best in everything you do", there are things like "let's jiayou for MR.. ", etc. I just find it quite amusing and touching, maybe cos I wasn't expecting those.
Another thing i was thinking about: Friends. Just seriously who are your true friends and who are not. I'm slowly seeing. People who come find you only when they need you. People who exchange gossips about their friends: "you tell me this, then I'll tell you that." Wah piangz. I thought that was super childish and you are talking about your friends. Seriously, I got no right to say this cos I do gossip (but not about ppl who are rather close to me). Maybe there's just something wrong with me that day. I was quite pissed with the particular person at that time and i started thinking negatively. Another thing I realise is that some times, I feel that I'm not treated with some respect. Can get a little bit upset about it. But i remember this person telling me
"You have to earn the respect yourself". True. I don't deserve it.
I'm growing more n more attached to TH. Maybe cos I found a few people to hang out with. Breakfast, dinner(sometimes), and supper(sometimes) together. Tavia will always wake me up 7 plus in the morning for breakfast (by knocking on my door 101 times) and the night b4 she'll always say "Don't get grouchy when I call you up tml ah." I find it damn funny... can't help it right. Slowly get to know kaixin and melissa as well and they are quite nice people. All badminton players.. lol. Thinking of whether to join the holidays comm cos heard if join can stay for the next sem/yr i think. But hols alr filled with training and I think I wanna work. I wonder if I have time for that. Maybe I shall just try for the interview and most prob I won't get in anyway (I couldn't even get into production welfare.).
Yesterday after we left PS, I was at dobhy gaut mrt station when this indo tourist came over and asked if i speak indonesian (OK!!!!!!!!! STOP LAUGHING!). Then she tried asking in plain English where's Da Merlion. I told her to take a train to city hall. Don't think she knew how to buy the tickets. So I kinda teach (don't think she understand) and help her n her husband buy. Then since we were kinda at the north-east line side and i don't speak indonesian, I decided to bring them to the north-south line side to take train with them till city hall. Then, I realised they won't know how to get back their ticket deposit and i don't know how to explain to them. So i got out at city hall to help them get their refund. Then i didn't know how to direct them to merlion either. So............. I decided to bring them to the Merlion. Brought them to Esplanade and point to them the Merlion and ask them to walk themselves. They were kinda nice and thanked me quite alot for that. As long as they are happy, I am too. Then later my parents asked me why so late. So I told them the whole story. Kinda got scolded cos they were worried that they are baddies and I get kidnapped and stuff.. which was reasonable. Oh well.. LOL.
I made peace with myself somehow. I heard it somewhere "Everyone makes mistakes" and i shall not to be too hard on myself brooding over them. Is that a good or bad thing? I don't know. Jiayou.
4 tests. I get back to my books.
