Blogging mood..

The weekend is almost over..felt like i haven't had such a lazy weekend in a long while..

Except for a couple of hours spent settling some work stuff, most of saturday was spent nuahing..was flipping thru the papers when i chanced upon that 'Down With Love' starring Ewan McGregor was showing on Ch5 at nite..

So there i was, all ready to veg out in front of the tv..tuned in to Ch5 and realised tat they(whoever they are) decided to show the Sin vs Msia soccer match instead..not tat i'm anti-soccer(in fact i was quite on during the msia cup days) but when u r expecting Ewan McGregor to appear on ur screen, but instead all u get is some sweaty guys running on a field..it just don't quite cut it(btw, i think the yellow and black jersey reminds me of bees..B is for bumble bee..opps! *.*)

Channel-surfed a bit..not tat i have a lot of choices since i dun have cable tv..ended up on CNA..Japan hour..and guess wat's on? Some food programme..featuring MUSHROOMS! by this time, i was so into my nuah mood, i just continue staring at the screen..@.@

Then this morning, for the first time in a long while, i had the luxury of reading The Sunday Times all at one go..even had the time to cook a decent lunch for myself..garlic flower..yes, sounds strange but it's one of my fave veg..

Afternoon was spent doing work..yes, the good thing about working from home is that you can work anytime..& the bad thing about working from home? yes, tat's right..you can work anytime..including lazy sunday afternoons..but it was a cool breezy afternoon and it didn't feel so bad cooped up in my computer room..

Since i'm in a blogging mood..shall continue a bit more..heh..

I went Malacca from 24-25th..brought a company there for cycling..not too bad..cycled thru some kampungs and had lunch by a lake..even had durians for fruits! And i even brought back some 'souvenirs' too..

c is for cookie

Somebody said she sings 'C is for cookie..and cookie is for me..' as a warmup for her vocals..Apparently it helps to 'open' the mouth..u know when u pronounce 'C'..

It was during a casual conversation the other nite over fried prorridge(it's really an item on the menu, not something u burnt in the kitchen) tat i realised..i'm always surrounded by people who likes to sing..and i dun mean just singing in the bathroom..

Take my secondary sch days for eg..my group of frens included many from the choir..and mind u, they're not just ordinarily choir members but people who actually sang the lead roles in the school's musical production..and i think mama's still taking singing classes till today? (tat's coincentally how she became 'mama' - from the musical)

Then there's my good pal from all the way back in sch, Wei..who took part in the school's singing contest..'you really know where to start..fixing a broken heart..' Nope, dun think she won though..ha..u didn't think i'll actually forget tat did ya? :Þ

YS, also a singing person..took part in her co's singing contest recently..

And of cos..my ssc folks..who will just burst into a song from the word 'go' (or any other word actually)..from high up in the mountains to down all the way in some ulu caves..just throw them any sentence and they'll sing a related song..and dun pray pray ah..we actually have a karaoke champion among us - 0.5!

So everybody..on the count of 3..
1..2..3!
C is for cookie..and cookie is for me..(and B is for bumble bee..and bumble bee stings me! - lyrics proudly written by yours truly)

Zzz..

Tat's the state i'm in these 3 days..Zzz..no thanks to the cough mixture, i'm perpetually feeling groggy..

I dun like this feeling..all wolly in the head..a bit like getting drunk but without the 'high'..

And i dun like the fact i can't indulge in 2 of my fave activities - eating and exercising..(note: singing is not included here..it's not my fave activity, it's my must-do activity)

I'm only eating at 50% of my usual appetite..imagine..half a bun for dinner..tat's not even enuf for my appetizer on a good day for me..

Planned to walk to the supermarket which is about 7mins walk away..but decided i was too weak for it..unlike some occasions even when i can't run or do vigorous exercise, i can still lift a few weights here & there..this time is whole system shut down..

Zzzzzxl..

Wat is it?

Is it the weather? Been really hot lately after the cats and dogs season..

Is it cos i stayed up late the other nite? Am i turning into a wimp? One late nite out can knock me out so bad..

Is it cos of the wasabi chips? Throat was feeling a bit dry then but was hungry..besides there was nothing to do at the pub except to listen to some guy talk about his waxing fetish..waxing cars that is..

Is it simply cos my immune system is too weak?

Tat's right, me is down..with a nasty cough and flu..

Dunno how come an innocent sore throat can deteriorate into a full blown cough and blocked nose in a matter of a few hours..it was so bad i fell asleep for 4 straight hours..in someone else's house..but u know wat? i aroused from a semi-unconscious state and found a home-cooked ai xin meal waiting..tat healing effect is something tat no medicine can offer..thanks 0.5 :)

Take care ah..zxl..

Post Entries

Supposed to blog post-xmas..now it's post-new year too..ha :Þ

Actually i think some of you were waiting for my post-xmas blog..particularly a 26 Dec blog..truth is, i prepared an entry for 26 Dec loooong ago..so long ago tat i'd forgotten about it..thot about publishing it on some other random day but think it's quite irrelevant if i did so..also, i had second thots about publishing cos it happened 2 years ago liao..yes, it's about my 2nd anniversary or should it be my 2nd birthday(since i was given a new lease of life from tat fateful day).

Actually i din take much note of the date until an earthquake struck taiwan..seems like 26 dec is really not an auspicious date..sigh..

Seems like we have to wait till this 26 dec 07 for tat one blog entry..

Today, with affluence, comes new expectations. Sports For All has given way to Sports Excellence. The focus has shifted from mass jogs, swims and cycling to the South-east Asia, Commonwealth and Asian Games.
