Week 2

It is week two of semester 2. Isn't it fast? Haha. I am still not in my 'study mode' yet. I guess for me I would need a while to really get my 'engine' starting to run. Lolx. One good thing about this semester is that I didn't doze off during lectures.

Guess what? I got a french tutor for my maths. Attended his tutorial yesterday, didn't pick up anything/ Its a waste of time seriously. For the whole tutorial, he was talking to himself and I simply don't understand him at all. I decided that I will crash other tutorial class from now.

This morning, I went to the gym at SRC. Surprisingly, the gym is very small and not very equipped. Anyway, spent 2hrs there. I went for 2.4km run too. Its time well spent there. Now, my body is aching. Got to exercise more. Lolx.

In the afternoon, went shopping with justin at orchard. I think we went to basically all the world of sports outlets around orchard, but didn't managed to find the shoe. Then, we went the zara at Liat tower. Its my first time there, the outlet is big and have a wider variety of choices compared to other outlets. Tried a few shirts and eventually got one. Haha. Feel so satisfied today. :)

Training in progress

In a month time, I will be taking my first IPPT after I ord. It is filled with both excitement and fear. Since ord, I had not been exercising as often except running. Also, partly beacause this will be my first time taking IPPT as a NS men. Sounds old? Haha. I have 5 stations (2.4km run, Pull-ups, SBJ, Shuttle Run and Sit-ups) to clear for IPPT. My worse station is the SBJ (Standing Broad Jump). I never seems to be able to jump far. Just because of one station, I got a pass instead of silver for my last IPPT. I really hope to do well in this year IPPT and not having to go for RT training.

Currently, I planned to run three times a week and to train at the gym twice a week. I hope that all these training will improve my performance four weeks from now. I started my plan on Monday and has been going well. I hope I won't give up and I would persevere on.

'If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.'

This statement is so true. With ample time for training, I am aiming for a silver in this IPPT. Wish me all the best. :)

@ Orchard

Heyz, today I was at orchard with my mum. Met up with mummy at Shaw house Isetan. Everywhere is having post new year sale, but the items are not very nice. Anywhere, my mum bought a shirt at Isetan. Haha. Went to Wisma Food Republic. Had lunch there. We had fried prawn noodle, beef noodle and my favourite fried prawn cracker. Then, we went shopping around at Wisma. I saw a nice wallet and wanted to buy for my sis. Knowing that she is very choosy, I won't risk to buy it lest she don't use it. Hehe. At Wisma basement, I spotted a Citibank Biometric Kiosk, so I went to register my card for the biometirc function. I was awarded with a free iced latte from Starbucks by Citibank. Starbucks is actually my favourite cafe because they serve nice coffee. My favourites are latte and mocha. Now, I can make payment without my card but only with my index finger. Isn't that cool when you go shopping. Literally, I won't even need to bring my wallet everywhere. I think in near future, most of our daily activities will revolve around Biometric Technology. It is a powerful tool. People around the world are using Biometric Technology for identification purposes.

Next, I went to AX at Takashimaya and saw a nice belt. However, it cost 119 dollars. Still thinking of whether to buy it or not. Then, I went over to Heeren to redeem my Heeren Card. Heeren Card can get discount. Yea, more shopping. Went to a shop that sells vintage shirts, didn't got anything there. Home sweet home from there.

That's what friends are for

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

School starting soon...

Counting down to semester two. 96 hrs to semester two. I am having mixed feelings about it. Looking forward to meet new people in school and catching up with friends. Feeling reluctant to go for lectures and tutorials. Semester two is definitely going to be busy because I am going to take 7 modules. It is stretching my capacity to do more things. I believe I can do it. I hope that semester two will be a great semester for me. Need to really sit down and do some planning for now for the new year.

Looking forward to a great and victorious year ahead. :)

BBQ w Mango OG

Its a fun but tiring day. Went out early to buy ingredients with Chris & San San @ Ten Mile Junction. Then, went to San San house to cook bee hoon and prepare BBQ food. Had fun cooking bee hoon for first time. Turned out to be quite nice. Now, I can cook bee hoon. Haha. So cool rite? Actually, I liked cooking but don't really like preparing. Looking forward to cooking my next dish. After cooking, took cab with Kelvin, Chris & San San to Downtown East. Met up with the rest. After we settled down, we went to arcade for games. It has been ages since I last stepped into an arcade. Was playing my favourite game Time Crisis 4. Then, we went to get more stuffs for BBQ. Had a fun time during BBQ. Its definitely time well spent for catching up before school starts. Thanks Chris and Feroz for organising. :)

That's all folks. Be sure to catch my next post.
