Uh...
Let's see. I have not blogged in ages cause I was just simply too busy either working or planning for the bbq. Basically job is fun but slacky at times, and the bbq was awesome. A total of 15 people came? And there was like 8 people who stayed over. Really wasn't what I expected. I only expected two or three to stay over. So, thank you all for coming. (: Anyways there will be some changes to the cg? :/ ohwells. Will miss the times. hmms.

Urm.
I shall heed advice and blog to throw my feelings out. Well, firstly today was very memorable. 12 hours ago, I got out of bed and did some stretches and bathed to get ready for OCBC Cycle Singapore. At 620am, I left home with my bike. While I was along thomson, a fellow participant passed and greeted me a good morning. :/ As I approached Bukit Timah Road at Little India, more cyclists joined the route and many had their arguments of which route was more straightforward to get to the starting line. I really miss the event. Overtaking the multitudes of slower cyclists, drafting the faster Caucasian cyclists, the sharp turns, passing through red lights, and definitely the last 2KM -- where everyone sprinted out of the underpass and to the finishing line. The only thing I wish for was the absence of muscle cramps on my calves. Because of that, I could not cycle faster and I actually did not perspire much. I didn't put in all my effort, thanks to the cramp. :/ OCBC Cycle Singapore 2009 is definitely something that I will remember, and I will be there again next year with better performance. Loves.
Tomorrow will be my first day at the job. Just hope everything will go well for the next one and a half months...

Oh, Finally.
Training during the past week were mostly failures, proving to me that I would not complete the OCBC Cycle Singapore in a reasonable time. But today I was proven wrong as I took up the front of the starting line. With the familiar and classic blast of the air horn, I accelerated and pushed my bike against the air. Within moments, I realised that I could maintain a decent speed of 29km/h. I was happily overtaking many participants. But as I put in more effort to cycle and push up the average to 32km/h, cramps would come in and I'd have to stop. I did proper warm ups but the cramps started coming in on the 17th KM mark, and came in another three times at 22KM, 31KM, and 36KM. I will never forget how I sped through those closed roads and gave my best for the final straight road into the finishing line. Though I'm not the first, I am still happy with my performance today, except for those nasty cramps. It is really a change to see swarms of cyclists competing together. Really interesting...

Sound Reproduction.
Sound is produced when air molecules vibrate. How could I have forgotten this basic law into my speaker interest when I've been using this law for the past year in physics? Ugh. I've always dreamt and wanted a pair of speakers which will be good enough to power up a sound that can be heard meters away. And it just hit me. Because the intensity of pushing the air (creating sound) also depends on the number of speakers you use. And with this, speakers don't have to overwork and be put to their max volume to reproduce a louder sound that's aimed at travelling distances away, when in actual fact the sound is just distorted. And oh, the next bbq will be at the end of this month, tentatively planned to be on 27th Feb. And I promise that the sound system will not be overworking and blasting it's way through. (:

Battery Operated Subwoofer.
Hmms, I actually want that for my bbqs but it's pretty impossible though. Ohwells. Anyways today was out with Desmond then followed by Junyong's B'day dinner at Hougang Mall's Pepper lunch. It wasn't that bad actually. hah. Ohwells, I have prepared everything that is already needed for the OCBC Cycle Singapore and I'm just short of gloves. Should be shopping around soon in search of a nice comfortable pair. (: ke-byes!

Uhh...
I finished watching Titanic today, again. When I watched it a few years back, I cursed and swore at the iceberg for sinking the ship. But then again I realised that if it had not sunk in that April 1912, it would have sunk sometime later. It still wouldn't make a difference. Honestly, I would call it complacency. Anything metal can sink. :/ Ohwells. Quite complacent of the crew to think that it was an unsinkable ship. :/ Anyways I just took another glance at my background picture in my desktop and I realised how fast time flew. Just moments back, It was still my 17th birthday bbq at east coast. :/ Ohman, how I miss those times where life was nothing but school and after-school hangouts in town. :/ Things change. Sigh.

You lifted me out.
Surprise surprise, it's time for me to start with English again. Soon it'll be time for me to write silly essays on my blog again to practice my English. :/ Guess I shall start that soon. Anyways prayer meeting this week was pretty fruitful, apart from the fact that I was late everyday. Sigh sigh. OCBC Cycle Singapore is up in a week and I tried training today. Even before I reached 15KM, I had to turn back and head home. Sigh. I'm seriously starting to wonder if I'm still able to complete the 40KM within a reasonable time. :/ I have wanted to blog this but haven't been remembering to do so - try playing the train simulator called BVE which is created by Mackoy, a jap grad. Pretty fun. Anyways shall blog more in time to come. I have much to say but little remembrance. :/

Come on, wake up!
I was actually about to blog on something else but an email came in and it just totally set me pissed. It was a chain message which claims of some curse with a picture of idols which resemble the indian Gods. Seriously, I hate it when people use God's name to create a craze in chain messages. Can't you guys grow up? And even so, why must you pass on? The person who passed this on is a "strong" believer attending the same church as me. What has church taught you? All I can comment to you is "You of little faith!". Why can't everyone just get a life? What is the joy in creating chain messages? Stop being little kids. You people disgust and ruin my day. Gross.

Grr.
Hmm, these few days I've been busy tonnes with stuff. For this week morning prayer meeting is back. ;D Hmms, well I was reminded of something that happened a years ago. I went for the 2008 Ngee Ann open house and somehow visited the school of Film & Media Studies, or FMS for short. Well, I was asked to fill a survey and I remember clearly that I stated I am not interested in joining anything related to FMS. :/ I still have that pen with me now. Ohman, the irony. rawrs. Anyways should sleep soon, gotta wake up real early tmr.. :/

Hey Girlfriend.
Here I am now, still basking in the rude astonishment of my 'O' level results. Every night as I lay on my bed I still try to think back and wonder how my answers were in such great favour with the examiners and answer sheets. I'm just amazed. God has blessed me. And I thank Him for this. Hmm school only starts around 20th April. :/ Still a long way to go... Boredom is killing me at home. Work soon? I hope. I'm quitting my banquet serving job. rawrs.
Many times, I wish I wasn't the only one who did this "fantastically" well for O's. RAWR!

Changes.
Well, I have never liked mac/apple. But I guess I'll soon have to live with using it. OCBC Cycle Singapore is less than 3 weeks away and I have not been moving my lazy butt onto the saddle to start training. :/ And recently mosquitoes have been invading my room, allowing me to see their kiss marks on me when I awake from my lala land in the morning. It's just so irritating. Now I'm burning mosquito coils in my room and I think it'll be me who gets affected by the coils cause I'm starting to feel drowsy now. :/ ughs. Anyways yesterday I tried to do a streak of golden on my fringe but I terribly failed. This morning I tried again and it was a lil' better. Now I'm doing my final shot, hoping that it'll turn out great. Ohwells. :/

Hoho.
Listening to my ipod, I tapped my ez-link and walked through the faregates. And then something was different. Yes, a different feeling. When I board the bus, I no longer hear the familiar two beeps that I have been hearing ever since I was primary 4. Oh, the heart wrenching pain as your travel expenses triple from the previous years. It is like inflation. I never had a care about tapping out when I alight from a bus. But as of today, tapping out is an important habit which I have to get used to. For failing which could cause me a couple more cents. OHWELLS! ANYWAYS, today was study group at Khatib, then dinner and movie with classmates. Quah couldn't make it though. Anyways I hope that I'm not making a bad decision by agreeing to work on Tuesday. :/ I'll see how Tuesday goes, and I'll most likely quit after Tuesday. :/

Eclipse.
I'm turning fatter than a pig. I have been munching late night snacks in my movie corner along with the gorging of food during the Chinese New Year period. I tired sprinting on my bike yesterday to train for the upcoming OCBC Cycle Singapore and apparently I almost died. :/ After that had 5 pratas with Hameed and it totally wasted the effort I put in for the training that I just did. Ohwells. Time to set up a regular training schedule. Apparently I'm working tomorrow and Tuesday. I think this will be my last two jobs. I'll see how. Maybe I'll do another one and I'll quit. I wanna get my hair done before mid-feb! rawrs. And I can only get it done after I quit this job. ohman. This job makes me feel like I'm still in Secondary school. Ughs.
