the morning of 16th march 2007
seems like an exceptionally beautiful day

really beautiful sky, isn't it?

have always prefer sunset

today is an exception

nothing much..

I slept at 2am last night. Obviously I didn't manage to sleep as early as I wanted to. But anyway, I still slept rather well, awake at 6.15am, and was at pilates at 7.10am. somehow the city seemed more quiet today with lesser cars and people. Even the pilates class only had a total of 6 members. By 8.05am, there were only 3 left as the rest went off earlier to shower and change. It was a rather relaxing class today, though there were a few things that I could not really do. Maybe I was tired. Hopefully it was as relaxing as I thought. Many times, I ended up with muscle aches the next morning after pilates or yoga. No pain, no gain. My flexibility has definitely improves ever since I started attending pilates and yoga in January.

Though the morning started on an active note, i'm feeling really sluggish now... again. hehe... I actually dozed off for while ... maybe 10secs... when I was waiting to open a file. goodness... Now, I wonder if I should take half a day off to sleep at home. but is just a thought lah.. don't think I'll do it. hehe..

Hopefully, I won't have to OT too much this week. Last week was practically all about work, so much so that I had to give pottery a miss, and not able to drop by clementi to see uncle tan, uncle lim and aunty ranaa. I really want to get back to pottery this week and see for myself if I have progress in anyway... hopefully my allergic thumb won't become worse after all the clay this coming thurs.

Alright. I should get back to work... a phone call comes in and there seems to be a lot to do.

another day at work

I woke up at 5.50am even though it was only a 3.5hrs sleep last night. I sat, pondering on the bed for 10mins whether to go for yoga since it was still really early. suddenly, tiredness overwhelmed me and I gave up the idea. at 6.30am, a sms came in and finally the decision was to sleep in. woke up again at 7.30, of course still felt rather tired.

the day started as usual with breakfast, then work. lunch, then work. tea, then work. finally at around 7.45pm, it was time to leave. Dinner was a simple affair near the office and off to kino after that. I could not make up my mind what to buy after walking around. I guess I was tired...

shall head to bed really early tonight.

sluggish morning.....

I am feeling a little bored at work today. Maybe it has been a long time since I last feel free at work. I am dozing away at 11am. It sounds like a sluggish start to a new day yah? With mozzie attacking me last night almost the entire night, you can expect that. The restless night did not help at all when I had intended to wake up at 6 for yoga this morning. What a way to start the morning... Since I have missed today's class, perhaps I shall find a weekend class to attend...

Today is really an exception. I have been waking up between 6-6.15 on days when I have intended to hit the gym. That's quite an achivement, isn't it? hehe!! One may wonder why I need to work out so much. I was kind of worried that my mum would think that I'm crazy! Or, think that Buddy is one crazy fellow to influence their frail daughter! :p Fortunately, my parents are rather supportive of my exercise regime. They actually woke me this morning to ask if I have exercise plans today. Thankfully they are supportive! The vertical marathon I participated weeks ago, also had their full support =)

Hopefully, with the more healthy lifestyle, I would become stronger, healthier and gain more mass as well. haha! muscular pixie? :p

hohoho.. my eyes feel like closing....

红灯码头

早晨的红灯码头是空荡荡的。或许在她还没被关闭之前，可以在这些梯级碰到水面的地方，看见一只只的小船，也有人流的声音。昨天下车后，突然想走过去看一看。

早晨七点的红灯码头，就是这样，似乎有点伤感。

你们记得她昔日的光彩吗？

@ work @ gym

Saturday is probably the most relaxing day in a week. Hence, I decided to oblige with Buddy's request to stay out later last night, together with liyi and steph, and then I will sleep in today. For me, 9am is a luxury! hehe!! At 9am, I woke up, had light breakfast, and off to work. Though it is a Sat, and people might think what a day to go work, I do not mind it at all. I guess I enjoy the peaceful and quiet environment in the weekend. As I have a deadline on Monday, I decided to just stay there almost the whole morning and afternoon working so that I would not have to rush on Monday. Yay! I managed to get something decently done, with help from Buddy (thank u thank u!!) By 5pm, we decided to stop work and we hit the gym. yay! hehe!

After we showered, Buddy asked me...
"when are you going to do your 6km?"

I said, "anytime."

haha!! maybe I just want to buy my new running shoes :p hehehe!!
oh yah. I said to myself that if I can run 6km, I can start hunting for a new pair of running shoes! :D

recently...

Ever since the stomach flu before chinese new year, I have become slightly (very?) paranoid with the kind of food I am eating. However, I have fun eating during the new year, and I do not feel any discomfort at all. But after the new year, for some strange reasons if there is any, I have not been feeling 100% well. I have been sleeping more, drinking more water, eating more healthy food, but yet, I still do not feel 100% well. Occassional dizziness, nauseating sensation, heavy headedness at times, extreme thirst (might be due to overdose of MSG from lunch ...), waking up with redness in my left eye, chest pains, other pains ... I just do not feel well somehow. That is also why I have not been going to gym. Why oh why...? All these, together with some foolish things i have done that have resulted in a loss of money, do not help in making myself feel any better, yeah? However, I have shown myself that I am a much more positive person than I think I am. haha! so... less money, be it. work incomplete, be it. no more europe trip, be it. eh... I hope to feel well again soon though... hehe!

in case you guys wonder why the europe trip is postponed ... I need to spend less and contribute more to the home because my dad has lost his job and is still looking for another job. let's hope the new year will bring him good luck, and may he finds a great job soon! =)
