大扫除。。。

recently, i cleaned my room. haha... cos i realised that i am moving home soon!! after i grad then no more hall to dump all my rubbish so that my room is very tidy... so i decided that since i am going to stay in my room for a long time, i shld make it nice and tidy. so i cleaned every nook and corner and found a lot of things! haha..

i found funny glass bottles in my drawer... i think last time someone gave me some letter or watever inside them la... think one of the guides... i actually kept the bottle for so many years... and it's a bit crooked... dunno y...



and a sharpener... i wonder why i still got a sharpener since i have been using mechanical pencils for about a decade and more.

Then... i discovered y... cos i got colour pencils in the same drawer... together with some glass paint, lots of strings and ribbons, coloured sand, coloured paper (yes, coloured paper we use in primary school... 5 by 5 those to fold paper crane or watever shit our art teacher ask us to and it cost only 60 cents according to the price tag) and crepe paper...

i didn't noe i so got 艺术天分when i was in primary school... and so good at collecting junk, i still have them when i am 21...

Also I oso found my sticker album collection!!!

dunno if anyone remember but there were furry ones, shiny ones, glittery ones and those made of cork... i still remember i always go to the bookshop in sch with my classmates to buy stickers then exchange during recess and before assembly...

MY DORAEMON COLOURING BOOK!!!!!!! so nice... and still in perfect condition.

My harry potter UNO cards... i tot lost liao... haha.. it's buried under a pile of CDs...

AND... something I've kept for more than a decade...

Given to me when i was in primary 2 or 3... by my primary school classmates, Yinghui and Wanling..

Nowadays where got ple draw and make their own birthday card lor... hai... everyone buy those sell in shop ones.. or just write happy birthday on the envelope of the voucher. <- lo hok him lor... somemore he wrote, by 4E ple... -_-... wat BY 4E ple... it's from can... i am toking to LHH right now on msn.. he is very happy and excited about li ren's father being rich. And he wants to advertise it... -_-

aiya.. i sian already.. put picture take so long one...

CDR received from zai cameraman!!!

ZINING, WEITING!!! the guy who sat in front of us during the mayday concert really sent me a cdr. full of zai photos... and videos. Get from me when u see me k.

Both me and zining brought our digi cam to the concert but then leh......

the minute the concert start, the whole world stood up. THANK YOU SO MUCH, THE WHOLE WORLD. i can only basically see in between your hysterical waving hands and spiky heads. To irritate me more, there was an old auntie behind us who keep saying 阿信 in a squeeky voice.

If i have to peek in between ple.... of course even harder to take photos la. Who can I trust but Lin Weiting who is tall and right beside me. With his height he surely can take better pictures than me, right?

Guess what, lin weiting is blessed with shaky hands. most of the photos he took are either blur, very blur or super blur.

so we can only turn to other more reliable sources.

and there were 2 guys in front of us with super pro cameras. HOW PRO... let me show u some photos.

DARN PRO CAN.

anyway the concert was really nice and value for money cos super long hahahahaha...

in a good mood now cos i oso have great pictures of the concert.

OH... project runway start lo.... so nice the show.

Maybe I am destined to take cab

Today is sad... Very saddening... Cuz fail TP again...

I committed a mistake that I have never done before... Hitting 2X kerb at the direction change... Frankly speaking, I only rem brushing it twice throughout all my pracices at BBDC, at the Crank Course...

Needless to say, 2X kerb = 20 points, so quite clearly I failed even before my route.. I don't actually feel like continuing coz my tester say he wanted to fail me but then persistently tell me to carry on... So I just half hearted continue..

Go on highway, make a U-turn, and return to BBDC, that's what I did... In exactly the same fashion as of the 1st attempt... I didn't even get to see the post office at Teck Whye, which is supposedly the 1st landmark on the route...

SAD SAD SAD.... The only consolation is that I get lesser demerit pts on my main road... 36 compared to 42 in the 1st test... In addition of the 20 points earlier.. I got a result slip of 56 demerit points...

WAO... Even I myself have to admit that it's the worst score I even heard from pple around me...

Kk, enough grumbling liao... But there goes my $300 and counting...

Mayday Concert Rocks!!!!!

Woohoo~!

This is THE concert that I've been looking forward to since the start of the year and it finally kicked off last Saturday. Definitely, it was a night of fun and great music!

Before I leave....

I am so excited, tmr i am going to Turkey. I think it's the furthest trip i ever been. that's so exciting right??? Exotic place hor!! good choice of location for a holiday right? Yeah, turkey, Istanbul here I come...

But the main thing is that i wanna tell you all that MR LO HOK HIM and MR SEOW ZHIXIANG had conquered the distance and broke the mental barrier, depending on well-built muscle, extraordinary stamina, sheer determination and mind power out of this world, we've completed the 42.195km Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2005 on 4th Dec 2005, Sunday.

For your info anyway, the distance of 42.195km is the length of singapore. From Tuas to Changi...

I am not trying to xiao zhang or hao lian here, but seriously i think completing the 42.195km is really a feat, a great achievement. Walking 42km by itself isn't easy already how about running it? i know some cock or sour grapes or spoilers will just say that it is easy cos we walked when we were too tired to run during the 42km. Yes, we did walk, walk a lot. but then those idiots can just shut their mouth because 1st-ly they dun have the guts the sign up, 2nd-ly they didn't complete it themselves so they dunno the difficulties, 3rd-ly these bunch are just losers who wanna take away the joy from other people, so i dun give a damn about them.

So anyway enough of suckers. Just wanna share with you all how running a marathon is like. The flag off is at 0600 sharp by Teo Chee Hean, The organiser veyr hippie one, they played the song Final Countdown b4 flaggin off. It's damn high and stress waiting for the pistol go. I really thought that i would die from running the marathon.

Ok, so i ran and ran. at a veyr good and steady pace. i estimate i finished the 1st 10km within 50min, then continue running without water break or stop till 15km. then i think it's time to stop for some water. Just too bad, once i stopped, when i wanna picked up pace again, My right leg calf muscle cramped badly...

At that time i really regret not going for physiotherapy after my knee operation last year. The doctor said that my knee is already severely weakened, so i needa build up the muscle surrounding the knees. However i heck care about the physio and thus resulting in a weird walking and running style that stressed too much on the calf and hamstring, thus causing the severe cramp.

Another thing i regret is that i didn't take this marathon seriously. I didn't train for 3 months before the marathon. And expecting i can last through it. Actually it's a veyr bad attitude, IT's A BLATANT DISRESPECT TO THE DISTANCE!!!!!!! haha, i am lame!

Then i walked, but then the cramp just wont subside. At times i started jogging but then i will cramp severely again. It's like no cure for it at that moment. Any amount of stretching dosn't help... So i walked from 15km to around 21km and by that time seow caught up. And we walked together. HAHA!!! But again, dun think we are pussies, try walking when u are cramping. Not easy...

We walked till 30km point then... By then we decided to jog 1 km walk 1 km. But once we started, I cramp like hell again. But zhixiang's strong muscle carried him through... So he went ahead, and i never see him again. HHA.

So for me i just keep walking. so basically i jogged 15km, walked 27km. happy everybody? some might think i weak, bu zi liang li, wateva, but then i dun think that way. I think i am good cos i still finsihes the race. With a timing of 6hr 23min. It's definitely not a good timing. Quite bad actually, but then i would really say it's the best i can do on that day....

Oh ya, just to illustrate that it's not stamina nor muscle that counts for marathon, it's really determinationa nd mental power... Cos i saw a few of my OCS friends there. A guy who ran 2.4km in 7min+ finished the marathon in 6hr, i ran 2.4 in 8min+ finished it 6hr 23min, yet another guy who is form obese company, running 2.4 at 12min30sec, he finished the marathon in 5hr 22 min. One whole hour ahead of me.... anywya seow completed in 6 hours 01 minutes.

The moment i passed the finishing line, actually i really wanna cry. haha. but then so many pple seeing, then cannot drop tears also. but really, that feeling is hard to describe... I urged the rest of the 4E guys to sign up for it nxt year man. It's a really good experience. must at least try it once in a lifetime....

When I was running/walking the 42km, i was thinking, why i wanna torture myself this way. I got better things to do... but that night (when i was still suffering badly form the muscle pain from neck to shoulder to lower back to everypart of the leg, anyway these pain caused me to walk awkwardly on sunday and Monday, luckily i recovered in time for my trip YEA!!!) i dunno why i told myself i will be back running the marathon again next year. So just too bad, nxt year around this time, you all gotta read me writing that i complete another marathon again. HAHA

Last but not least normally i dun like to take photo one, and i would nvr post my own photo under any other cirucmstances. but then i will post it this time. HAHA. Below is me and seow after the marathon. As seow said, 每一步， 是血， 是汗， 是男子气概!!!



Sorry for disgusting you all with my face sia. HAHA just bear with it.... YEAH GOING TO TURKEY LOR.
