GSS!

I went to the John Little Expo Sale yesterday with KS, and we came out with 4 items totalling $75. He was shopping for stuff for our Redang trip, and i was just seeing what i could get.

I basically went crazy over Animal stuff. KS bought me this bag yesterday. Was $69, now $29. It's green :D I was contemplating buying this or another bigger nicer bag which was $89 slashed to $29 so it was much more worth it, then decided that i didn't really need such a big bag.

But then i couldn't get that bag out of my mind. It was hot pink on black and super nice. So i decided to go back again to get it. When i went back with Quil, there was only one piece left, and i realised it wasn't nice as i thought it was. Instead, i got the same bag in a different colour/design, which is the one above. It's huge; i'm using it for my trip later as well as Taiwan :) The colours are actually brighter than in the picture. Was $89, now $39.

And yes, my wall is dark pink. Deal with it.

They had NUM stuff on sale too. I got Justin this shirt. Was $49, now $25.

I actually didn't get this pair of shoes from the Expo sale. I saw it there first, but they didn't have my size so i decided not to get it. A little sad though, because i like it quite a lot. Then when i went back to White Sands to get dinner, they were having a sale there, and i spotted this pair of shoes again. They had my size! See, what should be mine will eventually be mine anyway xP

I also bought a pair of Animal shorts [was $59, now $19], but i've already packed it in that huge bag of mine, so i'll post pictures when i get back from the trip :)

Feelings.

Ever walked into a place that used to be as familiar as home, only to realise that you've become a complete stranger? Was it the place that changed, or was it you?

Make one mistake. Be condemned for life.

Some things i'll never forget [just some thoughts i had this morning when i woke up].

When Yuxiu came to have lunch with me last year, when i was working at Novena Square. I was in a whole new environment and trying to get used to it, and the familiarity she provided was very comforting. It was probably just a small thing to her; she'd only dropped by while going to Orchard, but i was really grateful for her company for that short hour.

When Sharon cycled over to my place one night, and we just lay on the slides at the playground, looking up at the sky, and talked about life, goals and aspirations. The things she said really made me think.

When Yvonne called me before i went on my Hong Kong trip a few years back. She told me i just had to hold on to the phone. She prayed for my safety. I'm not sure if this is something she does for all her friends, but i was really touched.

When i was very young, probably about 7 years old, and lying in bed one night. I overheard my parents quarrelling. My mom said, "One day, i'm going to divorce you." She kept her word.

I have too many memories with my top 7 to single out any one to mention. Sorry.

House =/= home.

House session soon :)

21-21

Yes, i've started training for it. I know it's a little late, especially since i'm taking forever to progress, but i'm gonna do it no matter what. Here's my plan to train up, as well as to keep fit and lose some weight.

Monday: Swim
Tuesday: Jog
Wednesday: Not sure yet. Maybe House :D
Thursday: Jog
Friday: Swim
Saturday: House
Sunday: Cycle

It's just a tentative plan, but i hope it'll work out. I've been jogging on Tuesdays and Thursdays already, and i'm planning to swim at my uncle's condo. Hope they allow guests to use the pool frequently =/

As for cycling, KS and i have a few plans in mind. This weekend we're gonna start by cycling to Changi Beach. The next time we'll probably cycle to East Coast through the Bedok park connectors like we did previously. And after that, probably East Coast via Changi, which is a longer way. See how la :)

Since i've only got 3 months, i can only make a rough plan for now. 7km by mid-June, 14km by mid-July, so by mid-August which is the run, i should be able to do it fine. Not fantastically, but at least i'll probably finish before they end the whole race.

Diet-wise i'm trying to cut down on carbohydrates, as well as have smaller meals throughout the day. It's not exactly working now since i keep meeting up with friends for dinner and we'll always eat a lot. Oh well.

It's almost Wednesday. Mid-week already :)

Will be at Redang next week, so it's gonna be sun, sea, and snorkelling!

Grr.

Okay, so i know we should all move in when we're in an MRT or a bus, but i don't think it's that difficult trying to maintain a comfortable distance between you and the person next to you.

I mean, if i can do that without holding on to a railing/handle, why is it that the person next to me, who's holding on to the railing, manages to keep brushing her arm against mine, no matter how i continuously move away? The more i move away, the more she advances. It's not even like she can't feel it. It's skin against skin. Unless her nerves are dead or something. Gah.

I'm fine with people standing very close to me. I'm even okay with clothes-to-clothes, or clothes-to-skin. But NOT skin-to-skin [unless people happen to be squashed against me while they're trying to let others pass]. That's too close for comfort.

-

By the end of the whole train ride i wanted to beat someone up -.- If i asked KS, he'd probably let me whack him. I'm not sure about now though; we often wrestle for fun, but the only time we actually sparred [which was ages ago and will probably never happen again] i just stood there like a block and he was happily kicking away. It was in front of the entire class and it was unfair. He's black and i was what - green at that time?

Blah. Anyway. I don't like talking about our TKD history -.- Which is, unfortunately, where we met, so it's unavoidable. Ugh.

Random.

Friends.

Went to Sentosa with the babes today. No photo post because we agreed to keep the photos confidential.

Anyway after a few random conversations about F.R.I.E.N.D.S, i decided to take several quizzes to see which character i would be most like, since i think i don't quite fit any of the stereotypes. Here are the results.

Joey: 3
Chandler: 6
Ross: 0
Rachel: 0
Monica: 1
Phoebe: 0

Heh.

To the people i love.

I may hurt you sometimes, but in return, i'll kill anyone else who tries to harm you.
