Italy or France?

Tonight is THE night..

Unless you've just returned from Pluto, you should know that tonight(or tecnically speaking, tomorrow early early morning in Sg time) is the World Cup Finals..between European neighbours France & Italy..

All the late nights over the past 1 month(though i must admit not all are cos of WC) will be coming to an end..& as promised by zxl to zxl..i've maintained a fairly healthy lifestyle this week..give & take 1 movie marathon session at my place last nite..from 'ziyi zhang' to earl to johnny depp..

Life should revert to a norm slowly after tomorrow..maybe i'll see more of my football-crazy pal, Wei online..haha..let's come out for dinner after WC yea?
A
nd in case u're interested, i'm placing my bet on France..2-1..

busy?

Ohh..it's been a week since i last blogged..

Hmm..was quite busy lah..world cup lah..triathlon lah(nono, i din participate..but well done to everyone who completed it!)..instructor flying back to UK lah(she mistakenly thot her flight was on sun when it was on sat..resulting in a bit of gan cheong-ness)..

Actually it was ok-busy lah..not exactly busy-till-no-time-to-eat kind..in fact, i think i was rather busy eating too..haha..In a matter of less than a week, we managed to strike off 3 items on Team SA's homecoming food list..& in the process, added a few more :Þ In particular, the dinner at the crab bee hoon place was quite successful(despite its ulu location) and between the 13 of us, we had a good mix of alumnis vs patrons, we managed to put away 4 or was it 5? crabs and 2 servings of xiao man tou..

Then there was the big match on friday nite..a lack of kiasu-ness saw us wandering for 45 mins..from chijmes to carlton to funan in search of a place to watch argentina lose to germany(sorry folks, they were playing on german soil afterall)..In the end, we just stood outside a small pub outside excelsior..not cos it was the best, but simply cos it was already 11pm and the game had started..

Seems like we need better strategy if we wanna catch the finals in comfort..do i hear anyone offering their house?? :Þ

Instructor!

Finally! I can call myself an instructor too!

Had completed the 4-day cycling instructor course on sun..it wasn't exactly easy pie..considering the fact tat i haven't been on a course in eons..& i was still recovering from my fever & all..& it was raining the whole of sun when we had to have our practical sessons..

We had a few funny moments too..like when we had to carry our umbrellas and practise conducting a lesson..or pretending to be problem students when someone else was teaching..

So, cycling lessons anyone?

Feeling fat & out-of-shape..

Have been feasting everynite..for the past 1 week or so..eversince my instructor has came over..followed by the homecoming of Team SA..so if i'm not bringing my instructor out for dinners, i'll be fulfilling my duty as alumni chairman..

Let's see what i've eaten this week..geylang twice..in 2 consecutive days..food street at chinatown..tze char at AV..tze char at Bukit Timah..& a very confusing kolo mee dinner..

Hmm..think i've got at least 1 more seafood lunch & a more tze char dinner coming up..oh no er!

Add the fact that i'm still not feeling 100% fit and i've been really busy with my course..i haven't been exercising much lately too..

K..shall give myself until the end of this week to 'luan lai'..will revert to my ZXL Diet next week..stay tuned..

Instructor..(cont'd)

Din manage to get The Instructor out to meet my instructor the other nite..she was too busy catching the World Cup..instead i got her good fren, ah meng out instead..

Went to pick my instructor up from orchard..then went scouting around for a nice place to chill out & catch a bit of soccer action..when ah meng suggested this pub near bugis where her fren was performing..

The highlight of the evening must have been the part when meng got her fren the band member to dedicate a song to my instructor..but..my instructor chose that very moment to go to the loo! But apparently she could hear the dedication from the toilet..it was quite a funny scene to see her surprised/shocked/bewildered expression when she came out..

In any case, thanks ah meng..though the timing can be improved on :Þ

Football. Fever

Yes, as some of u know by now..i've caught the football fever..literally..

Temp went up to 38.4 at one pt yesterday.. yet i was still shivering under the covers..and the head was feeling 2 tonnes heavy..

Blame it on the late nite actions lately..too heaty liao..think it's time for some jia jia liang teh..

Instructor..

Yes, there's another instructor in my life now, besides The Instructor tat the SSC folks know so well..she's the instructor whom we flew in from UK..

Went to fetch her from the airport yesterday and spent quite some time figuring out which ang moh lady was her..trying to keep a lookout for a single ang moh lady..had a few 'targets'..but they all turned out negative..finally we hit bingo(thanks to 0.5 who was there playing guessing game with me)..turned out she's younger and chio-er than i thought..haha..

Anyway, she being the typical british..we've arranged to go for a drink later and catch the world cup..see if i can get the other instructor to come along..
