Went straight to Williams for yamcha with Adam, Yumin and Jia Yaw after my Korean class. Our Charliean reunion is getting smaller and smaller in numbers. Sigh. When we reached there we saw Hitz Fm crews giving out freebies near Williams. So left Williams for Hitz Fm crew. I got a Transformers car sticker, Hitz Fm car sticker, one packet of biscuits and a can of soft drink. Then we played a simple number game and I won a Domino Pizza free voucher!
Then the crew asked 5 persons to volunteer to tell a joke in 20 seconds for the Cadbury video contest. Whoever who volunteers to tell the joke can have a bag of Cadbury Chocettes which cost RM30. I really wanted the chocolate but I'm seriously bad in telling English jokes, worse when telling them under pressure. But for the chocolate I would sacrifice my reputation. lol. Adam was also one of the volunteers.
Nobody literally told jokes in the 20 seconds video except a dumb ass, which was me. I should have follow them not telling jokes also lo. Yor... Very wat-tat one lo. At first I actually planned to tell a short joke one, but when I was 'filmed' another joke came out from my mouth. o.O Summore the joke was the longest joke I've told people. Stupid right? Summore actually I was wearing the non-UV protection T-shirt (It says ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST WXYZ and Non-UV protection T-shirt) I should have just show them this. Dumbass.
Wanna know the joke I told ah? Hehe..
One day, a hungry snail went to a restaurant and knocked onto the door begging for food from the waiter. The waiter kicked the snail away. One month later the snail came back to the restaurant and yelled at the waiter "Why you kicked me?!!" (Hint for those who can't catch the joke: Snails crawl)
Hmm.. Now I got one very funny joke in my mind. I heard from my colleague.
A psychiatric patient likes to sing. One day he was lying on the bed singing. Then after a while he flipped and lie tummy down and continued singing. The psychiatrist asked him "Why do you flipped?" The patient reply "I've finished playing A side." (Hint for those who can't catch the joke: Remember how cassettes function? lol)
I like the psychiatric one actually. Hehe. I told my dad this joke last month and he went speechless, like this ---> Haha.
Ok. So what I wanted to say was, the crew, Ken, told me I talked longer than 20 seconds already and I have to start it over again. Very sia sui.. I can now categorize this in one of the dumbest things I've done in my life. Coz I didn't even know what I was telling and nobody catch the joke coz I spoke too fast in broken English summore this joke is supposed to be told in a slower way. Whatever la. I still get the Cadbury. Keke.. So it's mission accomplished. =P
Talk about getting free gifts. Never in my life I've got so many free gifts with such little efforts.
After that we continued with our yamcha at Williams. It's cool seeing them again. I haven't seen them since January I think, when Kexin came back from Japan. Have to meet more often before September coz Yumin is leaving for further studies. Maybe in the future only me, Adam and Jia Yaw yamcha only. So kelian..

Yesterday went to swim after work. I've broken my own record: 40 mins swim 1km. My last record was 1km 45 mins.
Actually I aimed to swim 1km in 30 mins one. But I couldn't make it. I felt too breathless to swim continuously. My next target will be:
1. Complete swimming 2 km non-stop without time limit 2. 100 m completed in 100 seconds (Wanna try whether I can make it. If I can it means I can already take the International Life Saving certs)
Found this astoundingly huge swimming pool in San Alfonso del Mar resort in the central coast of Chile. The length of the pool is 1km!!! Therefore, it's rewarded by the Guinness record the biggest swimming pool in the world. One more thing special with this swimming pool is that the water in the swimming pool is actually pumped from the Pacific ocean, filtered and treated and supplied to the pool!
I like this pool la! I prefer this than the open sea coz it's crystal clear. kaka..
People even sail and canoe in the swimming pool!! o.O
Went to Korean class last night. Started to learn the Korean words for occupations and countries. Germany in Korean is 독일 Dogil. Is it because the country has lots of dogs? lol. I know it's lame. Taiwan is Taeman. lol. Australia is Hochu. Why? o.O
I have no idea how I'm gonna memorize all the new vocabs coz they don't sound like a word to me. lol..

If you've been following my blog I think some of you might have noticed some changes in the way I blog.
I only blog things I've done. Last time I always went "Oh! I'm gonna go for this I'm gonna do this this weekend I'm gonna do that tomorrow night" Now I don't do that anymore coz I think it's not a healthy practice. Coz last time it was always say more than done. I find it no point go telling everyone what I wish to do but in the end I didn't do anything to achieve it.
I feel that it's better to really execute it (or at least really confirm already) before telling everyone what I'm gonna do. Like for example I didn't mention I'm going for the Standard Chartered run before I run coz it makes no sense when I keep reminding all my readers what, when and how I'm gonna do something before I really tried that out.
I dunno whether you all catch my point but yea... just wanna say I've changed my blogging style slightly. Nothing special. Just a slight change that's all. =) Won't die one. Keke..
And one more change is that I've started to recommend songs in my blog. Hehe. Coz firstly I think my blog can be wordy sometimes. So putting in videos can make my blog more colourful. Hehe. Second, just wanna share the songs I like. =)
I felt like I was on an amazing race last weekend. Running here and there. And in the end ended up fell asleep in Kim Gary after having dinner with my girls. keke...
The big thing on last weekend was of course the 21km run!
On and off 10 minutes joggings before my work, and one 1 hour jogging a week before the run. These are my pathetic trainings I had for the 21km half marathon. Summore I was having flu one week before the run after the longest training (1 hr run) for one whole working week. Untill Friday only I felt slightly better. But I woke up with a stuffy nose and slight sore throat (again) on Saturday morning. Then I went out 8.30am to get the race pack and then went straight to Port Dickson for Raleigh AGM. I thought I will be back by 10 something but I calculated wrongly. I forgot to include the BBQ dinner which was suppose to start at 8pm.
Watching Raleigh Expedition video made by Shih Chung. It never fails to move me.
Exhausted from the meeting
Group photo after the meeting
Photo of the new Raleigh committee members
Quality control the watermelons. =P
5 girls prepare one bowl of cincau. lol..
Raleigh style =)
I was damn moody when eating the BBQ already coz I was sleepy and hungry (coz BBQ needs a lot of waiting but only can eat very little food o.O) Heay is generally a very nice and sweet person when she's not hungry nor sleepy but can be very scary and unapproachable when she's hungry or sleepy. Even worse if both. We left PD at 10 something and after all the traveling (Thanks to Soon I din need to drive. Sam fu sai..) I reached home at 1am. -.- Then had to wake up at 4am coz meeting up Karen my ex-supervisor to go for the run. Which means I slept 3 hours for the run only! Not cool...
Actually one week before the run I was already planning how not to go for the run. My flu had even strengthen my plan. =P So when I reached home from PD I started to plan my excuses =P
1. I didn't manage to beat the traffic to go to the run (which in the end became invalid coz the traffic was actually very clear) 2. I overslept (I had to fetch my ex-supervisor there too, she's running 10km. I can't be this selfish) 3. My knees and ankles hurts (I always have painful joints when I didn't sleep enough or sleep too late e.g. 3am onwards. But the pain had faded a lot when I reach there -.-)
So I had no more excuses but to face the challenge. If someone tells me these bullshit about giving excuses to run away from a challenge I'll tell myself "This person is such a coward". I won't tell straight to the face la coz this world is democratic. So I can't give up can I? =P
The crowd ready to start the run
Before the run. Seriously I think my arms look chubby enough. lol.
The starting of the run was not fun. Not fun at all. Coz I was still very demotivated. And when I ran many people 'potong' me as if I was running like a tortoise. -.- I kept turning my head to look back coz I was scared I would become the last runner. Very no face one le.. Luckily still got quite a number of people behind me (most of them were the ones who started late one actually.. lol)
Although kena 'potong' didn't feel good, I didn't speed up at the beginning of the run although I got plenty of energy in the beginning coz long runs should start slow then only slowly accelerate one. So I kept psycho myself that I would need the energy to complete the run. Steady speed is better than frequent rests. At quite beginning of the run I saw a white man who ran with limpy left leg. I was already feeling respect towards him being unable to run like normal people he still run with such determination. My demotivated mood faded. Later something shocking totally diminished my demotivated mood. I saw him stopped at the roadside and took off his artificial leg! OMG! I wanted to give him a thumbs up!
But I still keep my pace la. I didn't accelerate so that I have enough energy left to accelerate at the last 100m. It really worked! Throughout the run I didn't stop or walk except stopping for water at the drinking stations. Oh ya, and also when I still had 5 more km to run and my ankle hurt like hell, I stopped for some ointment for my legs from the first aid team. I didn't walk even when my ankle hurt. No, actually I couldn't walk! I wanted to give up. I wanted to walk to the end. But when I tried to walk my leg muscles were even more painful. So I kept my pace slow but in a jogging mode. And in the end I even managed to speed up at the last 100m until I reached the finishing line. It was 2 hours 50 mins showing on the electronic board. I felt an overwhelming satisfaction coz I didn't expect myself to finish this run. =) This same feeling from Singapore Standard Chartered 10km run came back to me again yesterday.
After the run I went to get the medal at the Dataran Merdeka. I went walking around to look for where to queue and bumped into my girls: GP, WY and SY! They said right before they saw me they were wondering where I was. Whoa.. I very long life lo. Hehe...
I left them to get the medal from the 21km counter. There, for the second time I saw my Korean class classmate whom I just met on Friday. We were assigned to the same group in the class so he looked familiar to me. I saw him once before the run but I didn't remember he was my classmate, just feel he looks familiar. Then second time I remember him already but I dun remember his name so I didn't call out. Then when I was queuing for the medal, I saw him again. o.O But I still dun remember his name. Then half way queuing I remember his name liao. His name is Alec. But he's no where to be seen already. lol..
Then hor.. After I took the medal and wanted to get my bag from Jeslie (a Raleigh friend who didn't run) only I realized that my handphone was in the bag. I totally had no idea how to get her. So I walked around the padang to look for her but to no avail. Then I met Hui Mei (another Raleigh friend who just finished 21km also) who also lost her friend. We decided to stand at the middle of the field hoping that our friends would see us when they walked pass. Hui Mei met her friend. I didn't have that luck. But I was lucky enough to bang into Alec again for the 4th time. o.O This time he saw me also and he went "Eh? You are... from the Korean class right?" And then we noded to each other and he went away.
After about 5 mins I was still standing there waiting for Jeslie to see me, planning whether I should ask a clown to make a balloon hat for me to wear so that she can see me easily. LoL. Then Alec passed by me again. Sweat.. 5th time. So I just smiled to him and said I'm waiting for my friend (coz I felt I looked like an idiot standing there doing nothing). Luckily Hui Mei was with me la. If not I look even more like an idiot. The 6th time I saw him, he passed by again, seeing me still waiting for friend he offered to lend me his phone to call Jeslie. But I dun remember her hp number. Very stupid one.. She helped me jaga my bag I actually can call my own phone one. Stupid.. (-.-)||
After a while Karen found me at the middle of the padang and CK (Hui Mei's bf. Also from Raleigh) came to find Hui Mei and told me he saw all the Raleigh people at the roadside including my bag keeper Jeslie. What luck that day couldn't find my bag keeper but met my girls, Karen, Hui Mei and Alec (6 times summore o.O). lol. So, standing in the middle of the field did work. =P
My bag keeper Jeslie jaga-ing my bag at the roadside while I was frantically looking for her at the padang. -.- With Karen
And with the Raleighians who went for the run.
After the run I went back with Karen, showered and went for the next destination, sing k with Cheng Yee and the boys. Didn't get to sleep before went out. Sang until 5 something I came home, online a while only went out Pyramid for dinner with the girls again. Didn't get to sleep again. That's why in the ended I K.O.-ed in Kim Gary. Just took a nap for a while when the girls was discussing about how long they slept after the run. The first thing I came home was to throw myself into the bed. Damn tired...
Fell asleep in Kim Gary

Wanna share this new song by Jolin Tsai-妥協 (Compromise) which I sang yesterday until wanna putus nafas half way. lol. Nice song but I dun have enough breath to sing. lol.
-
Last night walked like robot in Pyramid. Damn wat-tat. This morning working also walked like robot. When I no longer walk like robot I wanna go for swimming. I miss swimming. =) Hate jogging.
26th June 09 8am I was driving to work listening to radio station as usual. The DJ mentioned about a death of a great singer. I was thinking "Oh, so who's dead again this time?"
But when I heard the name Michael Jackson when the DJ finished his sentence, I felt as if I was frozen. My hand raised to cover my mouth. The first thing that came to my mind was that "Shit! I haven't watch his concert yet! =("
It was really shocking. But I have no idea why my tears came rolling in the eyes. His death is indeed shocking, but it's kinda weird I'm that emo over his death coz I'm not a great fan of him. I dun follow his scandal news and all. I think the emo feelings today is because his death brings back my childhood memories. When the radio stations started to play his songs they brought back my teenager memories dancing to the music in the living room with my bro and mum. And the memories of singing "Heal the world" in the choir competition in secondary school with my classmates.
RIP Michael Jackson. I will surely remember your song "Heal the world". Had been attracted to the lyrics since I was 13.
I find this MV explains the lyrics pretty well. Too bad the subtitle is in Chinese. It makes no big difference coz the video explains better than the words. =)
This weekend is going to be super tiring. I have to catch some sleep now. Ciao!
Woke up with a nose block and neck pain this morning. Sneezed uncounted times. Went to work regardless of the uneasiness. Drove quite recklessly coz I cant even open my eyes properly. At work, the migrane started. I had to shut my eyes and endure the pain from within my head every 1 minute intervals.
I guess I'm going to have a flu.
Should I take MC tomorrow? Sigh. If I take MC I would have to see the doctor, which means I have a higher risk to exposing myself to the H1N1. For some reason I feel my flu is not the killer flu. But if I go to work tomorrow, I'll be exhausted. Dilemma...
Tomorrow got my first Korean class summore!! =( I duwan to fall sick... Sob...
And gosh! Why is it so cold when the room is closed tight with no air cond and fan? It's either the flu is getting worse or I'm just hallucinating.. Sigh..
Haha.
