Year of Ox

Good Bye 2009

2009-12-29T22:52:00.000-08:00

Another 30+ hrs more and we will be bidding goodbye to 2009.
Seem to have lots of resolution for 2009 but dun think i had completed any of it as usual.

Think i need to really work hard in 2010. Less games and slacking.

Failed Gamble

2009-08-18T03:49:00.000-07:00

I may had won in a lot of different kinds of gamble like gamble my luck on studies etc... However, 1 gamble i failed miserably is my gamble to go for operation. It seems that after the operation, nothing has gone well. Today went back to see the specialist and he said that since the operation has been done, there is no point in debating whether to op or dun op in the 1st place. From what he say i can understand that he doesnt agree for the ops in the 1st place. Now the only thing he can do is to ask me to strength my thigh and to have less force on my lower leg. Starting from next week onwards need to go back for physio again. Super sian.

Pushing and gambling on my luck

2009-07-17T12:14:00.000-07:00

Has been sick for the pass 2 days. Today was worst and yet i did something very crazy. That 1 is really pushing and testing my luck. I was down with flu and asthma and i went jogging 2.4km just now. The worst part was that even my legs have problem walking normally. It is totally weaken and i still can managed to jog 2.4km without any big problems. Of course half way through i had to endure the pain but i still managed to complete jogging 2.4km with myself really weak. Pro.

Updates

2009-07-08T07:41:00.000-07:00

Long time no update. Last update was at Mar. At that time i took part in the run. 2 weeks later i took part in another run which is the Suburban run but this time i ran 5km only cause my leg cannot run too long distance. That was when i got my 1st ever running medal in my life.

Working life
Now i am teaching IT in primary school. Got a lot of things to do. Students' work is piling up yet i still do not have enough time to mark it. Will try to mark asap.

Study life
Now i am in year 3 of my degree. Very hardcore. All the assignment and tutorial are due week in week out. Almost out of breath liao.

Target
There are a lot of things i want to do and maintain but somehow either lazy or no time to do.
1: Jogging (want to jog at least 2x per week but end up now 0)
2: Sleep early (at least most of the time i slept before 12)

Think i update till now. This year i hope to visit the birdpark again to see and sayang that lovely friendly cockatoo.

My 1st competative Run

2009-03-01T07:16:00.000-08:00

Today i went for the Newton Active Run. 1st time joining this kind of run and i had never ran 10km at all. Quite happening for me. Firstly my shoe lace went loose and i had to tie it after 6km cause got 2 people tell me about my shoelace. Secondly, my RFID tag drop halfway, end up i had to run back to find my id tag then continue running. While running back, i dun dare to look up cause very paisey. In the end, i completed the race in 1hr 9 min plus. Not bad considering that my operated knee still haven recovered. I did not stop running except for my shoe lace part.

My completed race cert. The name was photoshop up of course. Cause they nv write
This is my number tag for the race.

End of exam

2009-02-24T01:05:00.001-08:00

Yes! yesterday marks the end of my exam. Hopefully can pass although alot i also do not know how to do. Haha. Rest for 1 week, next week wed start again. Database module. More stress.

Super displease

2009-02-04T07:20:00.000-08:00

I am super unhappy at the services of SGH. Their nurses all that things are top class but not their administrative staff. My main problem lies with the medical record office. What they are doing is very inefficient. To get my father's medical report, they need his signature. So i called them and ask them and they say ya. When i told them it is impossible because my father cant response and is bed ridden, how is it possible for me to get his signature to get the medical report. So they suggested on getting his thumb print. I answer back that we already have problems lifting his hand and also the nurse would not let us do that. Then they say it will be better to go down to settle with them. Of course i am not going to go down as i do not want to make a wasteful trip. Some more what they are suggesting is rubbish. How is it possible that they want us to go and get my father's thumb print when he is unable to response? It is very wrong to ask us to get his thumb print also. Because if anyone can just go and get his thumb print, then they can say oh your father has owe us $$$ this is his thumb print proof then are we going to believe it. Some more what are family members for? Do you mean that family members cannot even get the medical report on his behalf? If so, why would the billing center call us and tell us that our father's medisave is not enough to cover so we need one of the family member's medisave to cover? They want $$ can get from family member, family member want medical report cannot get. What rubbish. Super fed up. GE money will be the next company to be whack by me soon. Their company is worst still.

Chingay 2009

2009-01-31T09:16:00.000-08:00

Just came back from Chingay duty. From what i saw just now, i can conclude that Singaporean are very cute. Haha. Y? Because when the whole road is seal up whereby no car can come in anymore, they still press the traffic light and wait for the green man to show then they cross the road. OMG. Haha, i had to tell them just cross no need to wait alot of times. From here we can see the most of the Singaporean are law-abidding but they do not know how to twist and turn when meet with a different situation. They will just do thing straight which is not very good.

Also i observe that the uncle selling ice-cream is very power. From 6pm till 9pm ++, he had been selling ice-cream non-stop. Wa. Hand not pain sia. Somemore is a lot of people buying the ice-cream from him lo. If for me, my hand sure will swollen and pain. But i can conclude that, the uncle will be flithy rich (for his age la) after the Chingay event. That is very clever of him to set up a ice-cream stall there. Maybe next time my turn to do it liao.

CNY Eve

2009-01-24T10:34:00.001-08:00

It's Chinese New Year eve now. Yesterday i went to Marina Barrage. The wind was shiok there although the sun is quite strong. Ideal place for night star gazing also. Night time go there will be better. But the free shutter bus will leave there at 9pm after that, you will have to walk quite far out to marina bay mrt station. Look forward to the next upcoming water project at the punggol area.

New Year Week

2009-01-21T11:28:00.000-08:00

This is the week which i call it the new year week. New year is very near soon and i am switching into the new year mood which is not very good. This Friday is the test and yet i am still slacking around not wanting to study for it. This whole week i had been spending my time cleaning the house. Later i will be cleaning the alter. I will try to study a bit for the test also. Try hard. I target to go for a jog also. Also i had finally sign up for the Newton Active Run on 1st March. This will be my 1st ever marathon. However, these few fays, my leg is giving me a lot of problems. Sometimes cannot even walk well. Hopefully it can recover in time for the run ba.

That was the Week

2009-01-10T10:58:00.000-08:00

Happening week i would say. Friday was my last day in dsta. Thursday received a call indicating that my father will be transferred to a nursing home on Monday. And Thursday night, i went to jog again and this time my timing improved from Monday's 13 mins 56 secs to 13 mins 1 sec. 55 secs of improvement. Not bad. My target for the coming week will be to settle the upcoming old folk home visit, clean the house and finally start preparing worksheets for the tuition classes.

Interview

2009-01-06T07:51:00.000-08:00

Went for an interview today. It took about 1.5 hrs to complete the interview. Woah! That was the longest interview i even had till now. Firstly have to answer 4 scenario questions then is the interview by the manager then after that gave a on spot presentation. Haha. Pro Anyway, i had passed the 1st interview with the company. Now i will need to await for the school's reply then i will go down for a 2nd interview then after that will be contract signing.

Encouraging start

2009-01-05T08:17:00.001-08:00

Just ran 2.4km at around 10.40pm. For the first 1.2km, i took 7 mins 30 secs. For the next 1.2km, i took a shocking timing of 6 mins 26 secs which never happens before to me till now. Normally i will ran well for the 1st 1.2 km then did badly for the next 1.2km. But today was very surprising. Although the total timing was 13 mins 56 secs, but its not bad for an injured person like me. With my knee and ankle not yet fully recover, it is a bouns for me to run out this timing. Well this show that i am on the right track to take part in the marathon this year end. So i had fulfilled 1 out of 2 exercise this week. Today, i had also eaten a kiwi so i had fulfil my daily health target too. Not a bad start for year 2009. But how long can i substain? We shall see.
