Today made me smile because I had really awesome groupmates, whom I didn't expect all this awesomeness to be oozing out from. Connie, Wilson, Vanessa, Joyce :)

Tomorrow is 14 Feb. Although it is not supposed to be celebrated in Islam, I can't deny the fact that I've come to enjoy the traditional letter-writing/gifting in Cedar and I miss it now. For those with dates, enjoy it and please boys, don't overload on the cheesiness. Or else, the rest of us in the population (single or not) will be gagging on our own puke.

12.25am

1. From my cousin's engagement ceremony, sandwiched in between mum and the sister. 2. Successful birthday surprise for Marlia! 3. A wacky birthday Chalet indeed, Happy 21st Isty, thank you for inviting us :)

Monday, one more week to go before recess week starts. 4 days of school. 2 trainings. 2 tutorials, 1 general bio lab, 1 water and environment practical, 1 group submission, 1 consultation.

3.34 am, I tried sleeping since 1 am but this body refuses to rest so...what's the most logical thing to do after getting up and going to the kitchen to have a glass of water? Turn on the laptop right? Right. Watched Sophie Hanks on youtube thanks to Ern HAHAHAHAHA the video is freaking hilarious and I'm sure I find it funny not only cause it's 3 am and I've to wake up...soon. And I know this is late but happy belated birthday Ern, big 2-0!! Hope you had a smashing good time :)

Started my Chinese New Year morning struggling to get out of bed snoozing the alarm at 6.30 am, joltingly waking up at 8 and finally dragging my Gluteus maximus out at approximately 9.35. I went for a run! And when I was running, it suddenly dawned upon me that I was wearing red. Oh well...I went home, logged my distance and discovered I ran 4.5km woohoo!! I want to watch Forrest Gump but I don't know how/where... ):

Okay so thing I'm looking forward this week are: meeting the silat people later, first ever bio lab session on Wednesday, training, and Saturday night. Also, I'm trying to persuade my mum to cook more Malay dishes at home haha okay bye!!

Ended the first week of semester two by being down with fever. Sigh. According to my friends, "The person who advocates healthy eating always falls sick". But! A frantic attempt trying to get to LT 32 for General Biology without knowing the sheltered route forced Khairun and I to have a mad dash in the rain, up the hill. Training 2.5 hours later which lasted for 3 hours led to a very late shower hence = fever. And school has been, well school.

Today I went for my cousin's engagement ceremony and have never seen her so shy yet happy. LIKE SHE'S LITERALLY RADIATING. Conversations with the Aunts and Uncles start with "How's school?" to "they took away four packs of the Ramly burger beef patty that I bought, and said, you're the witness ah I'm gonna throw this" to "I went to buy the toy gun which looked like a real M16 rifle". Honestly I wasn't in the mood to go initially cause I wasn't feeling so well, but being around family is always great :)

Day one , sem 2 AY 11/12

Today I had a really good first day of school. My whole body was aching like mad though, I think it's cause I went through Saturday night/morning without sleeping after training. Had population geog lecture and the lecturer is pretty funny/talks to herself on the mic! She enunciates all her words so clearly, so Hazimah and I just figured that maybe it's a human geographer lecturers thing?

After I went to City Hall by myself to visit Muji to get my five in a pack notebooks. Also ate lunch all by myself. It was pretty good actually. My, my thoughts, my popiah, and people. Close, but not too close. Went home, did some stuff, napped and ran! Okay I can't believe I just typed out my day. Anyway from now, my "resolution" for the year is to wake up early. Last sem was spent sleeping in bed and rising after sunrise, I don't know. I just feel it's a waste, you know?

Last Supper

I have been neglecting this space. Too busy, and also too busy feeling tired! Anyway, school is starting tomorrow and I'm honestly looking forward to it, although I cannot guarantee that I will not regret saying this later.

So 2011 was pretty crazy, many choices were made. I got my first ever job at USS thanks to Nurul and it opened me up to all kinds of people. Made it to NUS, went for so many camps haha that was pretty crazy. Tried out many new things like my first ever night cycling during sports camp, went for windsurfing camp and joined silat. Reckless or smrart choices? Well I don't know. Survived a semester in NUS and ended the semester with a 10k run in the Standard Chartered Marathon with Marlia! We did pretty good, even if I said so myself. Zoomed off for a trip to University Malay, Kuala Lumpur with the team. Also spent Christmas at my grandma's/aunt's house. That was pretty good cause I remembered the drive down Orchard Road in the car after with my family. The car moved an inch per minute I swear but yet I felt pretty glad to be in that contained space with my mum, dad, sister and brother.

Pisang, Nurul, Marlia and I also travelled overseas alone for the first time to...our nearest neighbour, Johor Bahru for a day of pigging out. Alright I'm just gonna paste some pictures here.

I have to hang out with them more often man.

Photos all from facebook and not by me!

Friday, met Aman for Sherlock Holmes 2 and also dinner. We...talked haha and some things never changed. Yesterday (Saturday) morning, I started off with training, then some of the team went for lunch and impromptu Karaoke after. I only held the mic ONCE hahahahaha oh shit I swear I can't sing...at least not into the mic. Went for a good night cycling recce after! Fulfulling Saturday it was.

I have work to do now. Tomorrow morning I resolve to go for a run, I've missed it. I shall also go search for some runs to take part in Singapore this year. Have a great week!!

Sub..what?

Wow this place is pretty dusty and empty haha I shall attempt to do a proper post later(does anyone even read this)! According to my mum, an appropriate way to spend this day is to drive down to Johor for some Subway. And my whole family is going to do just that. I hope everyone will spend this beautiful Sunday doing something that makes you happy! :)
