wad a greaT daY!

I haD a great Time with my fellow SHG volunteers @ cash studio kTv!!! (FYI: its e old bedok princess i'm referrin to) =) we were reaLLy hiGh to e maX such that we extended our singing hours till 1130 pm when we were supposed to end at 9 pm.

and the plAce was really coOl with disco ligHts and superb sound systeM. The rooM we got intiallY for 10 pax was darn biG! they converted the princess cinema to a kTV rooM which was reaLLy spacIOUs! And the charges are lesser than that of KBOX and of course abit steeper than teo HEng bUt I feel the ambience they have there was worth the price...so utility was maximised!

oH dear, time reaLLy flies when one is enjoying. Come to think of it, school will be restarting soon in one month's time. hUMPH... duN care muSt reallY enJOy myself to e max b4 the vicious cyCle resumes.

And huiying, wen.... if u happened to read this, haha i realLy can't wait to go out wiTH u gals this hOli like how we used to in e past. haha realiSed that we haven't been meeting much in 2009 except for bdays... haha i want to go wii, sing, drink+ girls'talk!!! mUSt find time in JUL k b4 scH strtS. IF nt it'll be hard to meetup after that...

n thIS is e process of liFe...

I can't help but reflEct deepLy Upon life's fragility after visiting my cancer-strickened ah gong who had an operation after a bad fall. The ah gong I visited was bedridden @ the ICU with many tubes pricked through his nose, arms and lower body. Though he was still conscious and able to talk, it was a stark contrast to the ah gong I met a few months back during CNY. He was able to walk then. BUt now...hOPefully, he will be able to recover and discharge soon. I really couldn't bear the thought of my ah gong being cooped up in a rOOm that has nothing but four walls and it really hurts to see him suffer from such pain and misery in hospital.

Such is the reality of life. The processes of birth, growth, ageing and death that everyone of us has to go through in our life. No matter how rich, famous, capable one is in his life, one just can't escape from the God of death.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that nothing is more important than having a good health and being able to live happily. Without health, no matter how much money you have in ur savings, you won't be able to enjoy life.

And personally, I don't want to have regrets at my deathbed. TouchwooD la but just my personal tot below...

If doomsday is to be here within half an hour, I want to be the kind who will be able to look back at my life in contentment and with no regrets.

To put it simply, I want to live my whole life to the fullest.

And this starts with a positive mind coupled with the phrase" take action!!!".

To love with all my might. To give and to take.

And lastly, to be the real and unique ME that is truely happY.

oNE life, lIVE it, cOLour IT!!!

It was a lovely Wed. HAd a gREAT tIMe shoppinG and catchIng up with hazel, my dear ex-colleague @ OSI whom I had not seen for 2 years. Time really flies, man! All was like a dream.

2 years ago, I was fresh out of JC, waiting for my A levels results and Uni entry. Back then, I was working as a temp receptionist cum admin assist @ OSI. The 3 mths spent there were really experential and meaningful! GaiNEd an insight to the term "office politics" which is commonly used by workinig adults as well as become a victim to it... owell, that'S lIFE..BUT I also got to know great peeps like JEAn, Hazel, Regina who had impacted my life in some way or another. It's really heartening to get in touch with them again once in a while and know that they are doing great! =)

So the period after my temp stint at OSI fast forwarded and va BOOM...I alr completed 2 years in NTU and on my way to the 3rd yr. I must really cherish my years in school and not regret it when i enter the workforce.

ANd we shOPPED shOPPED sHOpped!!! I know my previous post reminded myself not to splurge on shopping sprees but I couldn't help it when i saw this korea-imported bag at Illuma: a big leather sling bag with unique design that was going off at half its original price of $89.90. COntemplated against buying it initially but gave in eventually and bought it home at $45 after I found it to be practical and long-lastIng. fElT so worTh iT!!!

anD yUP, I dyed My hair brown and iTS really loud and A.A( attract attention). Duno to be happy or sad. Happy becos alot of pple realise the change in my hair colour yet sad becos the effect of the colour doesn't complement my skin tone.

wadeva. Just hopE my hair colour will brighten my darkest moments if I happened to have one...

AND i reallY need to exercise!!!!! Cos i'm growin fat from all those binging and goodies that my colleagues had been givin me. it's been 2 weeks since I ran after the marathon.

my whole body is itching for a workout! Shall exercise soOn! Somehow, I like runnIng because it makes me feel alive! I like the way my body listens to the command of the mind even when my muscles are starting to feel sore. Sounds cuckoo la but I really think i reached the mind-and- body- in- nirvana kind of staGE after runNing! LOL.

OH MAN, deficit!

I realised I've been splurgIng recentLy. OOps...!!! i need more self control...

reminder to self: sAve, save, save!!! pls exercise more self control!

I shall not buy any more clothes from online or shopping sprees no matter how tempting and cheap they are.

I shall buy things that I need! NECESSITY not LUXURY GDS to maximise my utility.

the ONLY luxury gds I can buy:

1) digital camera

2) hp

*ALL ITEMS EXCLUSIVE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED GDS SHALL NOT BE BOUGHT!*

life is getting abit too mundane...

Somehow, i'm starting to feel sick of my temp job. I need a breather. And more excitements to rock my life.

Looking forward to the mini getaway this sat with buddy!!! =D

new breakThrough (PART 2) !

yAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I COMPLETED ADIDAS SUNDOWN MARATHON 42km!!!!! wahaha...

was really glad that I managed to achieve what I set for myself at the start of the year and that was to complete a marathon. The euphoria and sense of achievement that I've gotten after running for 7 hours was unbelievably great. I'm so proud of myself that I managed to persevere, hang on and run despite the sore muscles that were taking a toil all over my body... Maybe it's the I-have -a-banana-before-the race effect or the fact that is running at night that kept me running continuously for the 1st 25km because usually my threshold is 10km and i will strt to walk thereafter.

SOmehow, I guess it was my mind that did a great job in psychoing my body to keep going despite the weariness. At the start of the race, I kept telling myself to run at least 21km for the first half before stopping. Otherwise, I would definitely not be able to regain my momentum. And so my body abided my mind's instructions and viola! I DID IT WITH A POSITIVE MIND THAT DRIVED MY BODY TO THE FINISHING LINE.

Nonetheless, I could still admit that running 42km wasn't an easy feat because my body went out of my mind's control while I was on my journey back. But thanks to junlong who was constantly keeping to my pace and encouraging me to move on, I conquered the 42km.

I guess this would be my first and last marathon haha... since I just want to challenge myself to a new limit and try for fun... Till then, it would be another 2 weeks before I resume running.
