Trip to old folks home, 22-09-09

2009-10-23T16:24:00.006+08:00

I got into basic nursing course for the elective modules held for sec 3 Na students
On one of my field trip visit to St.Joseph home (old folks home), I asked myself these question along the way in the bus.

What can we do there? Are they a bunch of old grumpy folks? What if i can't communicate with them? Ahhh, I'm afraid of getting scolded. Should I reach out to all? Will I be able to make a differences to a person's life today?

My first visit to the old folks home is rather uncomfortable and I even feel a bit awkward at times, needing to be caring and comforting to someone whom you've just met is tough. Especially if they are old and it can be discouraging if they didn't bother to respond. But i was wrong. The old folks are more than happy to receive our visit, they actually await us. And the butterflies in you stomach will disappear after doing it a couple more times.

Did i cried during my visit? Yes, and after that, I decided to hold back my tears. Oh and the nice feeling i brought back home after the visit is beyond words.

Went out with two lovelies ystd to clarke quay.

2009-10-16T19:18:00.001+08:00

They actually had high hopes on me, but I didn't meet their expectation...

2009-10-09T19:42:00.003+08:00

See the pink salmon? Haha, I'll treat myself a salmon a week.

Me got myself a pretty dress from lollyrouge! Happy girl k! :)

Oh yes i got stung by a bee on my middle finger at school during assembly during monday.

Really great experience, you should try getting stung if you never had before.

Forgotten pastime

2009-09-20T18:15:00.004+08:00

Dancing is great fun for Tiffany and me. We even purchase two package of hip hop course at some remoted part of Somerset at a really pricey price when we were in Sec 2s.

I have then since long forgotten how I loved dancing after the completion of the hip hop course. And just recently, i joined in the fun in the Mass dance. Boy, did I have loads of fun during the dance. I could 'digest' the dance step w/o much difficulty unlike how I fumble myself clumsily during the course. I'm considering whether to join in the mass dance for the lunch time performance.

Oh yes, the video above is what spark me to dance again! I and Tiffany have decidedly made plans to go to her house to dance infront of her huge ass mirror after exams. I love you alot Tiffany!

Mrs Ang came even though she's feeling sick,gotta applaud her for that.

Ps: I took the wrong route,which is also the LONGER route at the old Upper Thomson road, an additional 2km. So It's 18km plus, hehe not bad not bad. Me like.

With a lot of negative comments about this race previously, I did not expect much. So overall, I'm ok with it, I just want to r-u-n!

Cheers post secondary competition

2009-09-08T20:04:00.008+08:00

I wasn't anticipating today's Cheers Post Secondary Competition, in fact I don't even want to be a part of the game.
When i knew of the schools that were participating, I was already surmising that we suffer defeat because all of their school have 'name'
I wasn't on form today because of my right hand. I already foresee yesterday my hand is going to suffer. There was already signs of mild swelling. I'm very afraid that one day there constant illness of mine will lead to chronic loss of feeling or even a deformed wrist. I want to seek for consultation but my dad told me this is a minor matter,no need to fret or waste unnecessary money. I hope i don't regret if i have problem when i grow up.
In my mind, there was a voice telling me to sub with Zolene but I told myself I've already come here, there's nothing to lose. I'm still able to play because I'm in a 'can play but with difficulty' zone.

During the first set, everything is going well, except of some mistake here and there, we were leading with 21-11.
And comes second set...14-21. I wanted to break down when it was 11-19. It was just too far wide apart. We were losing focus and doubling the mistake but we had a set to back up. Our opponent was look composed and that literally scares me but I try to remain cool on the outside.
Cheng Yan tried to be confident in her tone but I could sense fear in her eyes.
Third set come, I tried to remain calm but so many mistake surfaced, and it was partly due to the pressure that our match was the deciding match of the team going to second stage of the competition.
Cheng Yan smashed the finishing shot, then it's 21 love!!!!!!! I really admire her so much. :)
After the match, I thanked couch and everyone was hugging me and Cheng Yan as if we have already won the cheers competition.
Although we received weird look from other schools, we knew that this is CHR spirit and we were proud of every achievement we accomplished,even though it's a small feat.
I'm so blessed with such wonderful teammates.
I never felt that sense of achievement before and it overwhelms me greatly.
Cheng Yan face was crying when we were resting, I told her to continue to cry because nobody has said that tears was only for sad events and I gave her a hug.
Seeing her smile makes me contend because she is a very special partner to me these three years. We shared many woes and gossip and suffer setback MANY TIMES. I guess this is a stepping stone for us and nobody was expecting us to win.

On the way back to Marsling, I was passing Sembwang. I had this great urge to stop by and find Melvyn. I wanted him to be the first person to share my pleasant experience with. He couldn't make it and I felt really really really morse... but I'm ok with that.
Brought fruits along the way home, bathed and now blogging.
I can feel my stomach hurling at me with it constant 'grrrrrrr' now, stop here and I'll have my dinner!

PS:After the match, I tried to hold the badminton grip tightly and my hand was practically tingling.There is a very limited ability to move my wrist comfortably, swelling has gone worse after the match. I just hope it'll recover by tomorrow against the match with Tanjong Katong Girl's.

Supporting CHR Hillary team at NUS

2009-09-08T19:34:00.004+08:00

It was all happy faces after the Hillary ended. Their agony of being mind-played, stamina and wits has finally come to an end. They have braved themselves of three days and two nights torture. Although they didn't managed to clinched the top position to go New Zealand to battle other countries, they did CHR proud by vying the top 12 position out of the 30 other school.

Well done!

2009-09-06T21:20:00.004+08:00

That's me, carbo loading with a pot of rice for the upcoming MizunoWave run.

Hahaha, just really lazy to scoop the rice out so might as well eat right from the sliver 'pot'

NANKYOKU MONOGATARI

2009-08-30T21:26:00.005+08:00

On display next to Hachikō is the preserved body of Jirō, one of two Sakhalin Huskies famous for surviving a year in Antarctica after being abandoned during a failed scientific expedition to the South Pole. In February 1958, a Japanese survey team stationed in Antarctica left their base after extreme weather conditions prevented a replacement team from reaching the site. Thinking they would return soon, the team left 15 Sakhalin Huskies chained up at the unmanned base. However, due to fuel shortages, nobody was able to return for nearly a year. When the next survey team returned to the base in January 1959, they found that two of the dogs, Tarō and Jirō, had miraculously survived the ordeal

****************************************

Hi again, i just want to share with you this great dog.

I watched the trailer 8 below that was inspired by a true story and the hit Japanese film NANKYOKU MONOGATARI, in YouTube.

I'll be heading down to rent this movie soon.

I read people comment that the original film is nicer compared 8 below but its in Japanese.O well.

Here's the trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXkoGlxVbLY

How did they survive?
It is still unknown how and why the brothers survived, because an average husky can only live in such conditions for about one month.
The dogs were sired by Kuma, the Sakhalin from Furen and were born in Wakanai, Hokkaido, not Antarctica.
When they were found at the base, the food left there was found largely intact too. It was conjected that they hunted penguins[1] and seals, and even ate the excrement of seal as food.
In the movie, the director used the data available, together with his imagination, to reconstruct how the dogs struggled with the elements and survived.

The interhouse basketball finals is tomorrow.

My only concern is that i may have to miss the netball game. And does it clash with 1.6 k dash?

I'm going to collect my race pack for Mizunowaverun at velocity on 6 aug, sun.

Going early to avoid the crowd, may be heading to queensway after that to buy a new pair of running shoes. Still thinking whether to stick to saucony or go for mizuno. I read mizuno reviews and apparently it's raved for it's cushioning. Shall do abit of research on that.

Another gr8 run....as if!

2009-07-26T13:19:00.006+08:00

I woke up reluctantly in the early wee of the morning
I brushed my teeth as well as envisioning of myself completing 21km today.
My dog was already at the door anticipating to go for a walk. How could i turn down?
I walked 'Angel' and i relate the surrounding around me. It appears that there was strong wind and mild rain.
One look at the dark clouds that was shrouding the sky and i knew it's gonna rain heavily very soon.
I had a little prayer to myself, hoping that wouldn't ruin my precious day, my very first try on 21km at East Coast Park day.
Believing is not by seeing it, yep, it stopped after reaching East. I whispered to myself, thank god

I remembered running beside (and I tried to stick close to his pace....was tough.) this old man with a striking black adiddas shirt that scream 'I have completed 42.195km', I had less chance to skive along.
I stopped at 13km mark and i run-stop-run stop, as well as watch how people struggle to keep up the pace of others or really struggling to go on... I feel really........
I also think I took a longer rest break between run this time.
God gave me this wonderful day but i had to ruined it at the end.
boo cherry, boo

Ps: Running recovery run with Par'shan tomorrow. :)

I'm right back into my old bad habits, and the skipping rope is gathering dust under my bed. Half-marathon is coming less the nseven weeks and the longest distance i ever ran is 11.2km. I've been living in a world idleness... damn, it isn't a valid excuse. Next training is on monday, target 15 km.

2009-07-10T21:01:00.009+08:00

Wordy post,

I had a set of two straight days of nightmare a few days ago which was....strange.
There was a newer version of LRT which i sat. Fast forward,I killed a White Tiger(wtf) by a help with a passer-by by spraying perfume(PERFUME???!) and it changed to another scenario whereby my dad shook his head at the mounting bills for the funeral cake(Funeral cake??!) for the tiger was killed by me. The other was a journey, which consist of my ex-maid,sister and I. We had to cross a bridge. We look below and to our disbelief, there was clouds floating and what lies infront of us was the magnanimous mountain. My sister break down, begging us to end the journey and head back. My maid challenged her and she unfortunately fell. Without hesitation, i jump down to save her, not considering of my poor lil seestor.To my amazed,I was alive and i swam towards her with a pink Chinese embroidery pillow(Why is there a pink chinese embroidery pillow laying there??!!) for support, then my lil sister jump in too(lol). We swam to safety to a pit of ground but no way out. I was stuck in a pit with my ex-maid and sister with no way up. There was a long silence.... i tried to relate the surrounding, and resist the sense of alienation creeping over me, and how i would never have the chance to say goodbye to my love one......poof, i woke up.
So what is the reason for the dream to occur? Frankly, I have no idea.

Ahhh... Durian season is back
I just had a whole durian to myself this evening, after which I got so tired and had to go lie down for a a few minutes. I felt magnificent, though...sultry, dreamy.....
I'll definitely notice that I'm packing on the weight, but, I don't give really hoot

I really want to join Great Eastern Women 10K 2009 but it's only grant to women whom is 16 years old and above. Same rule with shape run 2009. I can't wait for next year!!!

2009-07-08T16:38:00.002+08:00

All of the women here are Olympic athletes. Shows how different the body can look when it is in "the best possible condition.

(Maybe I should do trampoline rather than distance running? haha!)

2009-06-29T16:17:00.006+08:00

It's the stress,the dammed stress, the pressure of deadline,expectation, projections,achievement and more achievement.

Term three just started.

*******************************
I just ran my very first running event yesterday. The Republic Brooks 5k run. The atmosphere was carnival-like.
Off like a shot I was near the front of the pack for the first half mile and slowed to almost a standstill by the end of the first mile. I gave it all I had and finshed and place 13th in Youth Girls in a timing for 27.43.I remember the last 50m and racing a girl that had come up behind me rather fast and I ended up losing her by 1 second. Anyway it was a great experience and I will definitely join more races. The energy during and after the race event energizes me. Now I'm hooked!

Anyway,I had prerace anxiety, i kept on ranting about how anxious I was to Yang Keng.The thing that I believe hurts me the most is the last quarter/half mile I feel anxious and tired. I was fine at the first half of the race and I'm able to find my pace... but then.....
I believe it's the warm-up part that drag my run as well as I didn't do a proper warmup before the race.
I had fun with Par'sha,Issac,Yang Keng, Jasper, Huitian. Derrick joined us soon after he ran for the Asian Olympic in conjunction with the Brooks youth category. Really proud of him. :)

Now...... to focus on the half marathon and studies

2009-06-26T17:13:00.006+08:00

My dad's 4 most important women in his life.

2009-06-23T12:21:00.005+08:00

Try to imagine me.
Happy Housewife in a five room flat with two or three little darling. My spouse's parents helping out with the kids.It's evening.My husband comes back home after a long day's work. I greet him at the door with a kiss and a cup of tea. We will have dinner which i put my heart,soul and love into it. We put our darlings to bed.Parent's in law goes to bed. He watch Teevee and when the day is done, we'll go to bed or maybe if we still have sufficient energy, we will have a little fun and then the day is done.
Domestic heaven.

But of course, in a few more years to come.
Am i abnormal? my odd thinking theories isn't same as what young teenagers are thinking now. I think I'm labelled psycho if i told them i want to be a housewife who is devoted to home life or household affairs.... Ok, you can laugh your butts off after reading this. I'm sure you're laughing away right now. :)
Now i shall break away from this illusory state of so-called of mine happiness and get on with my studies.

2009-06-20T10:49:00.007+08:00

It's one of those feel like shitdays.

really, when can it get worse when you can't even accomplish what you originally planned. I'm wasting my days by sleeping and watching teevee and doing all sort of crazy stuff. but i really should be studying, shouldn't i? I mean i spent the early part of the last 20days, contriving a haphazard study plan and running training plans- one of those that crams impossible tasks in one day. Maybe I'm expecting too much for myself, i just want to become a better me in such a short time. I'm just concerned about immediate benefits.
I feel that time is running out. I may never have the chance in the future.
Goodbye world, for i am.... tired and wondering why i'm doing all this shit.

2009-06-13T18:44:00.006+08:00

Seestor!

haha, hmmm i'm trying to brush up my language for now.

I realise I am getting bad in my Mandarin when I was unable to write a Chinese character a few days ago. It was such a simple word, yet I cannot remember how to write it.

I am so afraid I will forget about using Mother Tongue language one day.

Guess I can only start practising right now. Hopefully it will helps.

You should start doing it too. :)

2009-06-11T19:16:00.001+08:00

Yet another failed attempt to run in the morning.
When can i ever morph into a morning runner at this rate?

2009-06-09T10:50:00.013+08:00

My mind plays some nasty tricks on me in the morning.
I always have to motivate myself to get out the door to run and in the morning- the forces of evil are stronger than the forces of good.
The good side says "time to get up and go running, Cherry."
The evil side will then say "are you kidding, you'll ruin your whole day if you get up this early"
The good side says "you are going to feel great once you get going"
And the evil side says "you feel great right now under the covers".
I am not strong enough, evil always wins!

rather disheartening isn't it?

***************************************************

I did something wrong to evoked anger from my dad.
Why, oh why am i so self-centered? Everything i do is all about me.
I didn't regard anyone's feeling and I don’t bother to take the time to understand another person’s point-of-view or feelings.
I told my dad i wanted to do braces in the moment of folly and argue with him that now at this age, it is the BEST time to do it since i could take it off after my secondary school life. He of course, refused and that moment, i attack him with my selfless opposition.
I blamed him, I placed the blame on him for making my life so miserable just because we couldn't have holidays, no car, no good food, no sofa,no braces,no talent course when i'm young, not big enough house, no maid just like all my friends do.I blamed him for being just a NTUC worker.

My dad earned less then 1k and he has to pay all the bills. He told me that we could easily spent $500 in 10 days for food. How about everyone's Insurances, Gas, everyone's hand phone bills,school fees, daily expenses? He doesnt splurge alot on himself too.
And i did i mention did i ever bother to notice that?
And the payment for my Everest Base Camp? He is paying via monthly installment now.
So does it consider he is in a debt now?
It was selfish of me not to consider my family status before deciding to go for the camp.
And my mum been flushing her cash for her stinking visit to the slimming center and i must say she doesn't earned that much and she is not contributing much either.
Recently she even disappointed us by having a..... I don't wish bring this matter up, and i applaud to dad for forgiving her and not pursing the matter despite what she had done.
All i care was to mindlessly waste money.
God dammn I'm such a selfless brat and pain in the butt with my constant whining too. Maybe my parents's life would be a bed of roses if i wasn't born? I don't know.

I mean that. My life now isn't perfect, but it is the best that it has ever been. I have love, my share of happiness,not a lot of money, but a roof over my head, food in the refrigerator, hobbies that I enjoy to the fullest,healthy limbs and what more can a person expect? I don't need braces just to enhance my smile.
I'm sure that someone would still love my smile no matter how ugly it may seem. :)
I'm lucky to have you as a Dad. I don't disapprove of your job instead I'm so proud of your job, Dad . Having a loving caring dad is so much more than a lot of us have had.

I'm trying to catch up my studies now, i really don't want to disappoint my dad anymore.

PS: I'm sorry if i gave you all the cold shoulder or what ever treatment i gave you these past two days. I'm definately ok now with my senses back. :)

2009-06-02T17:18:00.007+08:00

Was blog-hopping and I chanced upon a rather interesting post.
The following post is from oneluggage.blogspot.com(credits to the writer, Daryl Teo):I fired my Secretary cos.........

Why I fired my Secretary...........

Yesterday was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, 'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone 'Happy Birthday.'
I thought...Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids...They will remember.
My kids came bouncing down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word.
So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, 'Good Morning Boss,
and by the way "Happy Birthday!"

It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.
I worked until one o'clock, when Jane knocked on my door and said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day outside,and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch,
just you and me.'

I said, 'Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go !'
We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go.. She chose instead at a quiet bistro with a private table.

We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.
On the way back to the office, Jane said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful day.... We don't need to go straight back to the office, do we ?'

I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind ?'She said, 'Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner.'

After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, ' Boss, if you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back.'
'Ok.' I nervously replied.She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake ...

Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing 'Happy Birthday'.

And I just sat there... (please scroll down at a slower pace)
...on the couch

************************************
Nothing interesting has happened or maybe i'm just lazy to blog them out?
I'm having the very first training for the marathon in the early wee of the morning on the 4 June. Excited? No? Maybe?

I'm not a 'morning' person,much more on the 'evening' type.
Maybe i'm just procrastin8ing but can i really do it?
I have to dragged my butt out of the bed while others are still sleeping.
I should seriously change my mindset right now.

If my passion is running. i guess waking up in the morning is just a mere sacrifice.It's a challenge of mind over body. I CAN DO IT. YES I CAN! I CANNNN ONE.I MUST TRY TOMORROW MORNING!

Ps:
all covered up during Everest Base Camp.
didn't really had the change to post this.

2009-05-26T20:30:00.004+08:00

Oh what a joyous day Part 2.

I woke up at 6:57 and i didn't have my breakfast.
I cycled to school slowly then since i knew was confirmed late.

NAFA
I actually score an A for sit and reach! I got 32cm(E) last year and i got 46cm this year!
Other's was As and the station, SBJ and IPU got a C.
I spend my recess with Saravanan at the lib and later Duong, Rainie and Derry joined in.
After which i attended social etiquette course with my dearest Jocelyn. :)
There was this makeup session part and Perry asked why i didnt volunteered for it.
My guess is he is VERY bored and hopes that my MAKE-UP face can entertain him.
After which, Yang keng passed me his peanut butter cookie. :)
And Darren sim passed me his rock bun cookies which was unexpected and sweeeeet.

I stayed at school from 1.30 to 7.10pm for EBC sharing session.
My mind was thinking..... I want to go home and play Harvest moon really badly...
I wanna get marry to cliff soon! HAHAHA
Anyway I'm updating regularly yea? Because these few days very laid-back as there isnt any training like the past few months.
But it's kinda rushing for this year sec 4 as there are having their chinese O level in less then a week. I do hope honey can manage his time wisely!
Let me end this by saying I love you dearest!

2009-05-25T20:05:00.005+08:00

Oh such a joyous day it is!
First, I got to met dearest Melvyn in the morning! I love you very much honey!
I gave Yang Keng my RP race tee-shirt in the morning.
I felt really bad replacing him in his place just because an unfortunate incident cropped up at last minute.

I had so much fun during soft tennis game. (post exam activities) though the sun is microwaving us. :<
I played with Saravanan one on one and it's really great to have him as my partner. :D
Haikal was unaware of the cone and he slipped down which is soooooooooooooooooooo funny.
During reflection after the activity has ended, a butterfly was flying VERY near me and I scream and ran out of my seat.
Come on, admit that butterflies are the most scariest thing on earth. Even Patrick and Spongebob are afraid of it!
Then after school, I hanged out with Saravanan and Duong before attending training.
Oh yes, I'm starting to mix with Duong. :)
I met one of Juliana's Junior. and had a chat with him. We both miss Juliana dearly.

I'm glad that the 1st team had made it back to safely at Everest base camp.
The second team that my mentor was in made it and are on the way down to camp 4.
Though yi hui didn't managed to climb, I'm sure that people understand if she continues,she is putting her life at stake. It's her personal decision as she do not want to risk her life.

I have read about the risk of coming down mt.Everest after summiting and it's frightening.
Looking at death, the stories are endless.
I'm pretty scared out of my shit just by reading it.
So I'm praying extremely hard for you both every night till you both reach base camp.

Remember Singapore Women Everest Team?

They will be attempting their climb either by tomorrow or next tuesday latest.
My best wishes to all.

I still can vividly remember that day when i finally reached Everest base camp with the discomfort of having diarrhea.
We were greeted by the merry presence of the Singapore women Everest team.
They were very amiable and not like what i thought that there were a bunch of uninteresting people.
We were all made to pick a mentor and i and fortunately chose Joanne due to her age.(Her experience) lol
Everyone got a short heartfelt note after we lefted.
What Joanne wrote to me, lefted a very deep impression on how I'm going to face the obstacle in my journey through life.

No, It's not my mother, although it's Mother Day today. HAHAHA

Joanne is one of the most spirted and vivacious person that I've the utmost honer of being acquainted with.
Concerned About the well-being of me, Joanne made a solicitous enquiry about my discomfort.
She even made an effort like.....that kind like being more than is needed....to accompany me throughout the whole session which i deeply felt grateful.
I look up to her and i hope to join her ace adventure company programmes in near future.
I just want to say again, dear Joanne and the team. All the best and do come back safely. I will pray for you guys.
