Had a gd run with my colleague yesterday along East Coast.. we ran non-stop for 40mins.... tink we covered abt 6km?? Managed to keep to his pace for the first 30mins... last 10mins my stiches set in..muahaha... well the gd thing is my knees are okay after the run & that i managed to endure the run without having to stop even though i have stiches... the bad thing however was that i realise i'm not perspiring as much as i used to... maybe cuz i wasnt pushing myself hard enough?? heheh... well now i'm closer to the beach, it gives me more reason to run... target to run at least 3 times a wk?? slowly training up for the 21km run end of the yr... jiayou jiayou jiayou....

OFF day!!!
Today is thursday and its aso my OFF day. Did the usual routine of heading to KK in the morning.. today i met kid 'V', 'ZR' & 'XY'. 3 different personalities...
'V' is always so shy, always have the shy smile on her face, likes coloring especially coloring mermaid, but kinda frickled minded as keep jumping around doing diff things...
'ZR' is super duper quiet, has big & pretty round eyes, only toks to mummy, likes to eat hard-boiled eggs for breakfast.. but recently not much appetite due to the treatments, getting very thin..
'XY' is smart, cheeky and chatty.. suppose to take 'O' levels this yr, but due to treatments ahve to defer for yr... we enjoyed playing Mastermind together...
After which I went to Plaza Singapura to do some shopping @ Spotlight, Daiso & Carrefour.
Bought cross stitch cloth and needles. Was packing my cupboard the other day that i realise that i still have alot of threads left... can start to cross stitch precious moments pictures again.. hmmm come to think, maybe someone will want to buy it from me & i cd earn some extra bucks??? heheh just a tot...
My first time to Daiso @ PS. The place is much more smaller compared to the ones @ VivoCity & IMM. Alot of things i want to get either out of stock or not available. Nevertheless, i still walk out of the shop 10 bucks poorer.
Next was to Carrefour to do some grocery shopping. Realise that the pricing for the same item is much more expensive compared to Suntec. For example, frozen dory fillets are @ $4.50 per packet, while over @ Suntec its priced @ $$6.20 for 2 packets!! What a ripped off!! Wonder whats the rationale in the price diff...
Last stop was Long John Silvers to have my lunch & also to meet up with my insurance agent to get my portfolio. Had a long chat with her as there were some cock up from both our ends.. but can be solved once i find out the information.. partly aso i blur..mauahha.. oh yeah, she change her 2-door BMW to a Honda family car... i like it better cuz not too flashy and can fit her whole family, since her parents will be moving in with her soon... shes also looking for a bigger place... a very strong and modern woman. I salute her!!

4-eye froggie....
Still rem my first eye-sight test when i was 4 yr old. Doc diagnosed that I was short-sighted, but i need not wear specs till im in pri 1, till i get in contact with longer hrs of study & reading.. all tks to my grandma who put me right in front of the TV when i was still a baby to keep me entertained that lead to short-sightedness.. but cant entirely blame her. As i grew up, i had alot of bad reading habits & simply i watched too much tv.. u cld say my eyes are pratically glued to the tv.. muahaha... well along with short-sightedness came astigmatism.
Aastigmatism is when an optical system has different foci for rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes. If an optical system with astigmatism is used to form an image of a cross, the vertical and horizontal lines will be in sharp focus at two different distances. In simple words, i will get blur or double vision when objects are in front of strong lightings...
Since pri 1, i have both short-sightedness and astigmatism.. which makes me a 16 yr-old 4-eye froggie...and many more yrs to come...muahahhaa...
Today i made a trip to the optician. Time to get my eyes check & to get a new pair of specs.. my current pair of spes is a black plastic-framed, with thick frames that cost me only $38, very nerdy looking... Not much complaints as i only wear them at home when i'm not wearing my contacts... The new pair i made will allow me to even wear it to work.. look more decent when im in specs..muahahahaha...
The gd news is, during the eye-sight testing, i was surprised that the optician say that i do not have astigmatism!!! Can u believe it, after 16 yrs of astigmatism, the optician tells me that i do not have that... how weird is that, u mean it just went away????? So i asked him what could have caused the astigmatism to go away?? He said that there could be still very little astigmatism, but its so little that i do not need to correct it ... Apparently, as long as your eye ball is flat, u will have astigmatism. He explained that i cld have flat eye-ball when i was younger, as i grow older, the eye ball grew and became rounder which could potentially cure my astigmatism!! I tot maybe these few yrs of wearing contact lenses helped my eye ball to be rounder?? muahaha
Anyway, without astigmatism, buying specs and contact lenses are much more cheaper..muahahaha... kudos to my eyes!! & bye bye to astigmatism... hope my eyes will not go flat again and astigmatism dun ever come back...muahahahhaa.... hmmmm any chance my short sightedness will go away by itself...mauhahaha.... i wish lor..hehehe

Plan & Change~~~
Plan & Changes...
Planning helps us get things done, but along the way, unforseen circumstances could change our plan... things changes all the time no matter you like it anot... all u cld do is to adapt and keep it under control.. u lose some and gain some thru each change.. depends on how u look at it...
I planned to visit uncle dar dar in UK during is summer break in aug... have been so looking forward to it.. we cld spent out 3rd yr aniversary there.. something different from our past yrs of celebration... planning started from wich airline tickets shld i get, would it be fr online, when to set off, how many days to go, how much to change, how much to save, how many days of leaves to take, wat to pack, etc etc... i even started counting down!! In order to go on this trip, I have to give up some things, i had to give up the first tournament together with my vb seniors & buddies this Aug 07.. i had to give up driving license cuz it might blow my budget this yr... i might not be able to change job as it doesnt look that gd if u started a new job and 2 motnhs later u want to take a one month leave... changing job will aso mean that i might be facing some cashflow prob...tis is actually the more headache prob..hheheh... so after much thinking and discussion with him.. i will have to forgo the idea of holidaying with him tis summer break... instead, we will head to Taiwan!! his favourite country...the country with lots of gd food and shopping!! not to mention its much more cheaper... hehhe...
Though i would lost the chance to see him sooner and to tour Scotland with him (how often cld you tour UK??), but hey, i still get to go to Taiwan with him when he's back... all the money saved and more to come will be much more worthwhile in Taiwan... I cld still get to play tis yr's VB Open Cup.. more savings this yr.. well as for the driving.. will KIV...:P
The best part?? I can get to travel with him together... its does not realli matter where.. most importantly, he is beside me....=) (i can feel the hair behind my neck stand....muahahahah)
So i lost some but i gain some as well....:) i gain more in fact...

Thursdays~~~
Thursdays have officially become my favourite day of the week!!! Now, I look forward to spending my mornings @ KKH with the kids!!
Today, i spend my morning with 'K', who could only see things tat are at eye level... anything left, right and below eye level will be blurred... yet 'K' is very cheerful, has a loud & clear voice... very active as well.. in fact 'K' has a very strong personality.. very ego and kinda vulgar... maybe due to the lack of proper school and under the influence of the family..
At one pt of time, 'K' wanted to poo poo.. so we went back to the ward so that the nurse could assist... 'K' threw temper cuz prefer to use the toilet like a normal kid then to do it in the dapers... 'K' screamed ch** b*e & motherf**ker to the nurse.. poor nurse.. have to endure the verbal abuse... nevertheless, the nurse cont to do her job, manage to cox 'K' to use the toilet to poo... kudos to all the nurses!! (all the best to Ruifan too...our nurse in training!!!!)
Later i learn from the others that 'K' is actually a very mature and clever kid.. a pity 'K' cant go to sch like the others kids... tink abt how education can help 'K'..
From today's experience, i realise tat kids are each unique in their own ways... with proper nurturing.... they can shape their future... as they grow older day be day.. its best if at least one of the parent is with them to not only watch them grow but to aso help to nuture them into what they want to be!!!

Talking on the PHONE!!!
I've nv been the kind of person who speaks on the phone for long simply because i'll end up having long pauses in btw the conversation... cant see the person's expression always makes me feel somewat cold...muahaha... but ironically, sometimes when i see the real person in front of me, it feels a little awkward ..muahahha... wats even more ridiculous?? my job involves me making tons of phone calls to ppl i've nv met!! well..wat to do.. tats my job...=) But today, i recieve a call from my beloved uncle dar dar all the way fr UK!! He's having his 2 weeks of Easter Break & his spending it travelling!!!! Damn, so unfair, he's sent there to complete a 8 month course, but according to him, at the moment he is only scheduled for class 3 days a week!! he still gets paid, and the coy pays him allowance for his daily expenses there.. he get more break then when he's in sg.. he gets to travel during his long breaks... SO UNFAIR!!!! muahhaha but okie lar... he has to study... do projects and exams..hehehehe..
Anyway, back to the topic, both of us very rarely speaks on the phone.. we rely more on daily sms when he's in Singapore as a form of communication... since he's overseas now, with the help of internet & technology.. 90% of the time when we 'talk' its on the MSN. I see him occasionally through the webcam.. showing him how much weight i've put on.. how ugly was my hair cut.. & of cuz seeing him fr the other side of the globe, somehow give me a sense of security and warmth... & of cuz thru our blogs, i can be kept updating of how is he!! there's always so much to tell him..but typing it on MSN its always different compared telling it to him in person... heehe... so when today he called, i was so happy.. i've got so much things on my mind, hearing his voice is so smoothing.. just the right thing i need at the moment... we talked abt his trip so far.. wat he encounter... he didnt slp well for the past 2 days.. so hopefully he can find a 'Bed & Breakfast' place soon to get a gd hot shower and a gd nite rest... Till i hear & see you again uncle dar dar... take care and have lots of fun!!! muaacks muaacks...
Well.. with the technology advancing.. will human to human commnication be replaced?? As more and more ppl are relying on Internet, PDAs, SMSs heavily to get through their daily routine... will we somehow lose the human touch?? One way or another, it will affect us.. but the gd news is, we can still keep it under control.. right????
