exchange of xmas pressies
i met up with reys. havent seen her in quite awhile. i think this is like only the second time after the new year. we havent even exchanged our xmas pressies. after her hairdo at far east, we went to nydc for dinner. kinda arkward to be opening pressies then. we met keong there after his work. as usual, we spent a couple of hours chatting over dinner. we left around 11pm.

sick
i woke up early this morning. i was having lesson at 10.20am. went out at 9.40am but i missed a bus when i was crossing the road. waited 10 mins before i decided to take a cab.at the end of the lesson, im still not confident. 5 more days to my TP (OMG!), 2 more lessons; 1 road and 1 circuit. im so dead. gotta pray really hard and cross my fingers. i hope everything turns out fine - i would get a bike with good condition, the weather will be great and i won't fall.i have been sick for a week. from sore throat to fever and headache to cough. i have been coughing non-stop for 3 days. i think im going to cough my lungs out pretty soon. having problems sleeping at night. it seems like many people are also coughing, it must be some virus.

reflection
havent been blogging. too lazy. i've decided that i should kick this bad habit. quite alot of things happened this couple of weeks, thought alot too.
i apologise to all my friends whom i neglected, esp. reys, grace, lyd .. ..
well, i guess im slowly getting there. life has been pretty meaningless to me till now. i have been spending most of my time playing games almost everyday, while thinking (half-heartedly) about what i want. i have played like most of the downloaded games from yahoo and playfirst. worse, i have been putting off things that i have to do. its time to face reality.
for a start in the new year, things havent been going too well for me. been pretty down. but there are some things that we have to live with so all i can do is to avoid as much as possible. i just hope things will get better.
the one thing i learnt: never push too far.
for all that i remember..
thursday, 11 jan
grace, lyd and choons came to my place for mahjong session. the initial plan was tanning and swimming but the weather spoilt our plans. havent played mahjong in the longest time. enjoyed myself. thanks babes!!!friday, 12 jani met up with lyd to prepare for dan's pressies. sorry for being late. =/ i promise i'll try to be punctual in future. we took a cab to raffles city shopping centre and we met mei at bk. right after we were done, we took a cab to fisherman waft. then, we went to asylum. i had strawberry magarita, and it was salty. all in all, i salute dan and eugene for their sportiness. they made us laugh.tuesday, 16 jankeong came to pick me up after his poc. we met grace, lyd, dan, mei and shiqin at airport macs. didnt stay for long though cos something urgent cropped up. sorry mei. but we send you all our well-wishes. =) take good care.thursday, 18 jankeong's last day of break before he starts work. so we decided to go sentosa, underwater world. havent gone there in a thousand years. it was fun and refreshing. they have a couple of new creatures and things. i thought the sea angel was interesting. thereafter, we wanted to go dolphin lagoon but it was raining heavily. while waiting for the rain to cease, we went to cool deck for a drink. then, we had pizza for dinner.friday, 19 jani woke up with a terrible throat that was killing me. keong came to bring me to the doctor. he made me porridge and barley. some time after the food and medication, i started having fever and throbbing headache. wanted to go back to the doctor but it wasnt open. i popped a panadol and took a nap.

Updates!
- 3 jan, wed -back to work. had a bad day.- 5 jan, fri - i met keong at taka. had sushi tei for lunch. then, we shopped around taka, paragon and wheelock.i so want to go to the pasar malam near my place so keong brought me there. i dont know why i've always enjoy walking pasar malams although they always sell the same stuff. we bought some rubbish; steamed cake, otah, cotton candy, sour plum, tea egg and fake bird nest drink, before going to my place for dinn.- 6 jan, sat - i was supposed to go for a wedding dinner but didnt make it. keong and i met up with grace and lyd at hereens. we had dinn at nydc, followed by pool at lucky plaza. i haven't played pool in like ten thousand years. finally, we went to coffee club for some desserts. grace and lyd ordered muddy pie that was so huge, they struggled to finish it. it was really funny. laughter is hardly absent in the presence of the 2 cuzies.we left at around 10.30pm. keong accompanied me while i waited for reys. later, haze came to pick reys and me up to mos.had a wonderful day. great company!!!
- 7 jan, sun -
i went for my circuit revision and lesson 8. after the fall i had, i've a phobia whenever i enter figure 8. after 100 mins, i managed to overcome like 65% of it. i tried to calm down, telling myself that as long as i dont have an immediate failure. at the end of the test, i knew i didnt do very well - lotsa minor mistakes. i passed but not exactly my own effort. feeling lousy about it. =\after my test, keong came to pick me up. he accompanied me to the temple at bugis (instructed by my aunt to give my thanksgiving). then, we had dinch (i created out of fun - dinner cum lunch) at indulgz bistro. not a very satisfying meal.then, we took the train home.i hope the weeks to come will be better. i know i will stand again.

back to work.
friday, 29 dec
i was rushing like mad to finish my work so i could leave for my appointment at 6.30pm but i only managed to leave at 6.35pm. keong and i were like 45mins late for our appointment at vanilla. i waited three weeks and there was no way i was going to postpone it. luckily, they didnt chase us away. thereafter, we had dinner at mos.
saturday, 30 dec
i had a really hard time trying to open my eyes and drag myself out of bed. i woke up at 8am when my lesson starts at 8.30am. had to rush to prepare. got there 15 mins late and there was no instructor at the counter. i sat there and waited for like 5 mins before i walked over to the briefing area where all the other instructors were seated. i was told to knock on the glass window at the side reporting counter.
after my road revision, i went for a drink and toilet break. when i was back, the exercise has ended and everyone has already got their bikes. i tried to look out for no.32 or no.1 but i didnt see them. so i took no.8, which i previously used for my road. it was so powerless i decided to change one. i saw no.1 but i soon realised it was out of alignment. then i tried no.17 and it was just as bad. there was no more available bikes so i gave up and took a short break. when i went back, i tried no.39 which was also out of alignment. i took another break and return to see three more bikes. i mounted onto the first one, no.21 and make do with it for the remaining 10mins. when i parked my bike after my circuit revision, i looked for bike 32 and placed my helmet onto the bike.
45mins later, it was time for lesson 8, the evaluation. i dont know if its the bread (that i force myself to eat) and the milo (i dont really like milo) or was i too nervous, i could feel my heart pumping very fast and i was breathless.
i was the last bike. i went to the first course - slope, i did fine. then i went to the second course - figure 8. i had a hunch that i didnt kicked my gear back to 1. but i couldnt change it already cos supposingly, our right feet should never touch the ground. i decided to risk it. i went in, kicked up the gear, completed my first turn, prepared to do my second turn when i lost control. i struggled to balance myself but i fell. dammit!!! immediately after the fall, the pumping seems to cease. i completed the test and got what i deserved - please try again. =(
sunday, 31 dec
i met up with reys and keong at town. we had some drinks and nuggets at nydc. didnt had appetite cos the cab uncle's driving was really bad. i wonder if he did that on purpose. rude uncle. *tsk tsk* then, we went to shop for rey's agnes b. bag. after she got her bag at lido isetan, we went to macs. i was craving for fries not long after we left nydc. i dont know whats up with the fries craving. this is like the third time in 2 weeks.
i ended up at cozy bay a couple of hours later. i was excited when i was told that fireworks could be seen. at 12am, when the fireworks started, everyone tried to catch a glimpse of it. but all we see are reflections of the fireworks on the suntec's glass windows. =/ we hung around till 2.30am.
anyway, wishing everyone a great year ahead!
