NDP 2006

I'm wayyyy too lazy to post more. Though there are nicer photos. Really. I had a lot of fun. But apparently too enthu for my own good. But i saw the President. And that's my favourite part. *mad wave*

Beat but up

I just came home from overnight cycling. It was good fun. The sqeaky clean kind where u feel nice and detoxed cos u had good company, a relatively good workout and yet don't feel spent.

It was a small (compared to the usual 100), motley crowd. There was a minimum age requirement, which rendered the usual quirky and very funny teens unable to go. I miss them a bit. But i hung out with people who are more my age. And i felt very very much at home. But i don't know if they felt the same.

I'm home now. We were all too full to have breakfast together, and too sleepy to talk anymore. So no one put up any objection to running home rite after the ride was over. We all complained of aching butts.

It was a relatively easy route. No slopes nor long distances. We stopped twice for drinks and food, which was way too much, considering the amount of waiting we did and toilet stops. My fitness (or lack of) wasn't challenged a single bit. My ability to stay awake was. To a large extent.

We went to the 'famous' won tan mee at Tamboline road. It's called Fei1 Fei1. The won tans were salty and the texture of the noodles is robust. Chewy mouthfuls. About 5 per bowl.

I'm sleepy. But i feel so so glad for the National Day Holiday. And i don't really want to sleep it away. This break away from my usual routine is very very much appreciated. I think i shall plan Thursday properly so that my leave day doesn't go to waste. Now what shall i do?

Perhaps i shall get some rest. A day with programmes lined up awaits me. I don't remember National Day being so eventful really. Happy 41st, Singapore. =)

Shopping.

Over the last month or so, i haven't failed to buy something every weekend. And i did it again this week.

Here are the purchases for this week:

-2 tops
-a pair of shorts/berms ( the type that's very 'in' now. girls like to wear with killer heels)
-a belt
-a clutch bag.


Cool? i'm pleased. It was my workout for the day too. I can't wait for overnight cycling. Yay!!!!!

Calling in life

My sis just returned from a weekend trip to Bangkok. And she bought me some pretty cool stuff i have to say. All for absurdly low prices. But she also bought herself a S$100 leather handbag that i consider half-mine. Cos i'm goin to use it. In exchange, she asked a favour.


Sis: Aye, can u help me wrap this book?

(i have an obsession with wrapped books. From the time i had the most basic hand-leg coordination, i fantasized about wrapping my books. And i do. I used to wrap my exercise books. But this obsession has to be balanced with another one of mine, which is to save the world. So i settle for wrapping just most of my books. Not all.)

Me: yea, ok. It's good to keep it new.


(i do it in about 30 seconds, very nicely and up to standard)


Me: (dropping the book on her bed) Sigh, i'm so good at this i'm beginning to think that this is my calling in life. Perhaps i should work at the Sunny Bookshop.




Sis: Do u know how good the Sunny bookshop people are??


Me: thanks.
