Confused..

well ppl.. I'm officially down with a cough, and that affects every part of my body.. esp my voice.. I really tot of going to see the company doctor tml and take MC, but then again, if I do so (my boss also not in office tml as he is on leave), then there is no one to look after my section, so I have no choice but to just continue working despite my illness.. haix.. I just hope I wld be strong enuf to sustain the day, becos tml is quite high production..

And I'm currently very confused.. confused in my attitude towards a certain grp of people.. Somehow the "feeling" isn't there anymore.. I just realised that I have drawn myself out from them, and just go to somewhere else.. I'm not too sure whether is it my personal attitude problem, or there is nothing common between us, or its just simply I have overgrown the age and somehow changed in my taste?

I am really torn between this issue, and it really disturbs me.. Sometimes just thinking of it, just makes me feel upset.. How? How? How? =(

You dun see me happy-go-lucky like that.. sometimes I just use my happiness to cover up my sadness inside me.. I'm trying very hard to not think of it, but its like its so hard at times.. I just dun koe wat to do when such thing happens..

Anyway, I guess I just have to wait till the right answer comes, and just currently live one day at a time lahx..

** Photo on left: Generation Joshua @ Joshua's 19th birthday party!

This morning, went to the Gouws' family homeshack for some housewarming party (at the same time, celebrating Joshua's birthday!).. and I tell you, it really reminds me of my NS days (its like going back to camp for NS all over again!).

** Photo on right: Me & the birthday boy, Joshua!

Why I said it reminds me so much of my NS days, is becos they stay so near my camp when I was in NS.. so ya.. Just thinking of my NS experience, really makes me drop a tear or two.. haix.. those were the days..

Ok.. I koe this is a very emo post, but I guess I have to blog out my feelings, becos if I dun, I wld keep it inside me and its very hurtful for me lahx..

Ok.. I think I got to go, and just sleep and probably do some thinking in my sleep.. Just hope tml is another better day.. and nothing really major happen at work, or else I dun koe wat to do liaox.. Sianx..

Confusion is one of the worst feelings in the world,
<<< abriel >>>

Tired from work...

Well.. work today has been really tiring, becos you believe it, I got 3 persons on MC and all is helping out in the packing area.. so in other words, I have to help in the packing, as there was a shortage of manpower.. and today, its the FIRST time that I ate my lunch so early (ie, 1100 hrs!)..

Then I carried on with the packing, and at 1530 hrs, packing ended and I have to count the stuff ALL by myself, as my senior operator was on MC, so I was solo today.. then by the time I settle everything, and carried on to do my weekly paperwork stuff, it was like already 1715 hrs!

Then I started to do my paperwork from 1730 hrs - 2230 hrs WITHOUT eating dinner! Yes.. you look carefully.. NO dinner whilst I work.. so I worked non-stop..

Fortunately I have like done like half of the paperwork yesterday, or else, I wld simply die lahx..

And what's worst is that I'm currently harbouring a cough.. this is bad.. I dun like to be sick.. moreover, church camp is coming, and I can't afford to get sick.. so ya..

I'm really super stress at work.. lots of things to handle.. my boss like now gives me more responsibility.. so ya.. apparently, I think he find that my workload is not so great yet.. haix.. what to do? I think I'm totally stretched to the max already.. wonder how long I wld last? hmm..

Ok lah.. gtg liaox.. I wld try to do some of my youth camp mtg stuff for this Sat, or else I dun koe when I wld have the time to do it lohx..

Tml going out the whole day somemore.. oh man.. I'm running out of time!

Time is so precious and I dun koe how to treasure it,
<<< abriel >>>

Miracles do happen!

Well ppl.. today is a day of miracles.. here is a brief breakdown of today..

(1) I got my production schedule like today, and I started frantically writing those pieces of paper which I do each week.. so ya..

The reason why I got my schedule so early, is becos my executive and boss is on leave on Sat lohx.. so die die, the schedule must be plan today, and the schedule sheet needs to be out by tml morning, so that I can plan the material requisition sheet.. super stress I tell you..

(2) I actually had a solid 1 hr chat with my boss today, just becos of a very troublesome and problematic worker.. Just talking abt him makes me vomit blood! haix.. We made a few decisions today, but it still needs some refining.. haix.. totally stressed up!

(3) I have taken a very bold step today.. Weeks ago, remember that I stated in my blog as to who I want to be my mentor..

And today I have made a decision, and that person is none other than Matthew Tjow! =).. I was actually at crossroads, but then I decided to make a decision to be around my age, but I prefer someone older, so I felt that Tjow wld be the right choice, since I confided in him a few times, and I did get some very good advice..

** To Tjow: Believe it or not, I have always from the start look up to you as my big brother, even before this mentor-mentee thing.. so ya.. so that shows that you are the best candidate?

Believe you me.. this was a very bold step, as I was contemplating whether to ask him or not.. so its like this very weird feeling inside me to just be bold and ask Tjow abt his decision.. I held back a few times, but today I saw Tjow online, and I decided to ask him, with of course heart beating very fast.. I was so afraid of failures..

But then, God was so gracious, and Tjow actually said yes! So its like really a miracle and I can finally heaped a sign of relief liaox.. so ya..

Ok lah.. really thank God for this major decision that I made today, and I'm trusting Him that this mentor-mentee thing wld work out for me.. so ya..

Ok.. gtg liaox.. 1 more day at work, before its another break from work! Yeh!! =)

12 days more to Church Camp 2007! Woohoo ~..

The mentee has spoken,
<<< abriel >>>

Shagged at work!

Ok.. guess wat ppl.. its the Monday, and I'm suffering from Monday blues.. haix.. it always happens on Monday!.. =(

Today at work nothing much happens.. and I say again.. I'm so looking forward for my church camp.. I dun koe why.. but its like that lohx.. hahax.. =)

13 days more to church camp! Yeh!

Ok.. this is a silly post.. got to log out..

A happy guy,

I love weddings!

Hey peepz! The wedding event is finally over, and I can heap a sign of relief, becos it has been a very tiring journey for me, but I'm glad that the wedding was a success and it's all worth it! =)

I'm sure that the couple, Mr & Mrs Ryan Chen, has been waiting for this day very long liaox.. so here's wishing them, "Happy Marriage ya, and zao sheng gui zi!" =)

*Photo on left: The Worship Team for the Wedding!

Worship was all right.. I was the pianist for the wedding, and therefore I played the piano, which is a baby Yamaha grand piano actually.. but then, the maintenance of the piano was not so good.. a bit of the keys are slightly out.. so ya..

And Mok (the worship leader) actually asked me to sing a solo part for one of the songs.. I did but I actually you koe, due to nervousness (I shivered ok, though I was like been performing to a crowd much bigger than the wedding!!), I sang some of the words wrongly!.. I played a few keys wrongly as well.. Though it seemed seemless, but I think some ppl koe of the mistake lah..

According to my mum (who was part of ther congregation), there were a few boys who looked out who sang the solo part, as they cldnt see me, becos I was hid in one corner of the stage, so those ppl at the back, cldnt see me.. so ya..

*Photo on right: My photo with the couple, Mr & Mrs Ryan Chen!

Then partly, I was also stressed when I was playing, becos some of the teachers from Saint Andrew's Sec (my alma matar) were present at the wedding, and so happened that Ryan's dad is actually my Sec 3 Maths & English teacher!.. so ya.. And I actually saw my Sec 2 literature teacher yesterday at the wedding.. He didn't like really recognise me.. I said "hi" to him and asked if he can recognise me.. Sadly, he said "no", but he recognise only the top part of my face, and he said I was that "short short cute cute boy rite?".. haix.. why does everyone, including Ryan, call me the short short cute cute guy? my goodness..

I dun really koe whether they can remember my Teachers' Day Stint (where I performed a solo item for the whole school during Teachers' Day), when I was in Sec 1 (1997).. but to a few, I'm sure they can remember.. hahax..

*Photo on left: My photo with the groom aka my brother as well, Ryan!

After which, I was like sweating quite a bit.. and oh.. I think I look very good in my attire yesterday =P.. I juz love the shirt I bought from GAP! =).. That was the shirt which I went all the Vivo to get it..

And if you have realised, the photo on the left, are both from Air Force.. hahax.. betcha you dun koe it rite.. =)

And I also debuted my NEW Crumpler yesterday.. it was nice I tell you, but heavy.. hahax..

Yesterday's wedding was a semi-military one, so there are sword bearers and all.. My goodness.. its like so nice lahx..

Seeing all of them doning their no. 1, made me so fond of my NDP days, where I wore no. 1 until I sianx liaox.. and now, I want to wear also no chance.. haix.. but yesterday's wedding was the FIRST semi-military wedding that I've been in.. so ya.. Ryan officer leh.. what you expect.. hahax..

*Photo on right: The 3 brothers, Myself, Joshua & Jeremy!

The catered food yesterday was not bad.. Though my parents said it was salty.. but I eat, ok mahx.. not bad I suppose, or maybe I was hungry! Hahax.. =P.. The chocolate fondue was nice lahx! =)

Then the photo you see on the right is taken during the lunch reception itself.. We were feeling very bored, so we did some cam-whoring, but of course, cannot compare to the gals lahx.. they are worst! hahax.. =P

Then we went to church for service.. Sadly to say, I was half-dead I tell you.. Feeling tired and all..

This morning cancelled my driving lesson, becos I koe I wld feel tired.. so I cancelled, and I'm glad that I did lohx! Thanks God! =)

Ok lah.. gtg and do my some other stuff, before going to church for music prac, etc.. so ya.. =)

Weddings are beautiful and it got me all inspired to hold one myself sometime soon,
<<< abriel >>>

What a day!

Fwah! I tell you ah.. this whole week is really hectic!

Its like almost late nites everyday.. so ya.. but its coming to the weekend soon, and I have been looking forward for this weekend.. becos I on leave on Sat (26/5) mahx.. hahax.. =P..

But ya.. today I got psycho to open a Citibank account, which has quite some good benefits. To koe wat it is, ask me lahx.. Lazy to type.. =)

Currently, the new guy who came into my dept who does coldroom is coping well.. so ya.. hope he stay for long lohx, or else I have more headache liaox..

Ok lah.. dun think I have anything else to blog, except to say that I'm looking forward for this weekend! =)..

Church camp is starting in 17 days time! woohoo!! =)

Hey ppl.. go to this click here.. and you wld be brought to a webby, Youtube, for a very funny video between a monkey and a dog.. view and you koe.. =)

Citibank-ed,
<<< abriel >>>

Dead tired..

Ok.. this morning went to work and settle my ICT stuff with my boss.. I think he is in a state of quite a shock, becos its like so fast, and so long somemore.. 2 wks somemore.. so ya..
But wat to do? The nation calls me for duty, I cannot say "no" rite?

But one thing I need to give God all glory is that ppl have been coming for job interviews to interview for my dept's position of a coldroom guy.. So ya.. apparently, some of you all out there have been praying for me that ppl wld juz turn up like that and I wld have many choices to choose from, to fill up the 2 positions. And true enuf, since yesterday, ppl have been strolling in, and I have interviewed like 3-4 ppl so far. So I've confirmed 2 persons liaox, and the first is starting work tml (Wed - 23/5). Juz hope he turns up tml to work liaox.. so ya.. Pray alongside with me ya =)

Other than that, work is quite smooth-running..

Ok... Super tired now.. want to sleep liaox..

Tata everyone! =)

My bed is tempting,

The call of duty..

Ok.. I have received a surprise SMS this evening, and its from MINDEF. It actually SMSed me to notify me of my reservist..

Frankly speaking, I was quite looking forward for reservist (I dun koe why.. call me siao or sumthing).. but after I accessed the webby and saw where was my first reservist venue, I almost died!
My first reservist venue is at Pasir Labar Camp for GPMG Course from 05/11/07-19/11/07. Totally sianx lahx! I HATED the GPMG when I was in my RP duty, and now I have to go thru a course abt this.. super sianx lahx..

Then I asked ard, and one of my former sgt and also my good friend in camp, Damien, actually said quite slack.. so I shall see how lahx.. I also dun koe how as well.. =(

A miracle happened online tonite at MSN! My former bunk mates (who is also the grp who went to KL together for our ORD trip), Kokwei, Boon Sen, Yizhou and Samuel, actually suddenly come online, and we all juz talk lohz.. Its so seldom that we all meet online.. hahax..

Then of course, I had my usual phone chat with my brother-in-camp, Sidney..
Hey bro.. it was nice to chat with ya.. It helps to chase away my stress for the day! =)

Ok lah.. I'm getting sleepy liaox!

GPMG gunner in training,

Busy as a bumble bee..

Ok ppl.. I'm totally exhausted.. Exhausted to the core..

Its like work and more work.. The day after I returned from leave, I took almost 2 hours to complete my paperwork, and spend like doing OT (my weekly usual stuff) till 2230 hrs then I left office, and then nxt morning go back to work.. so you can imagine how tired I am..

And I'm utterly stressed up now, becos one of my staff who works in my dept, Thurs (24/5) is his last day working, and until today, my boss and I have not found a suitable replacement.. Not that we are choosy, its just that there is no one coming forward for interview.. so ya..
And I got the new China guy to like do coldroom.. I tell you.. not that I want to say him, but he is like really beyond hope! I tell him the thing that is the simplest and the most detailed, and he still dun understand.. Its either he got low IQ or its my communication problem with him.. I'm serious.. I talk to him until I like want to literally vomit blood, and I actually lost all strength and voice to talk.. I'm not kidding.. so ya..

Then yesterday (Sat) was like waking up early to go to work, then came home and got ready to go to church.. so ya..

Church service was ok.. I led worship in Holy Communion.. quite a new experience.. so ya.. but the best part is my Youth's Guys Fellowship.. It happened yesterday! And we all shared on the topic on school.. and of course, I talked abt my Choir days, and how I didnt wanted to join Choir in Sec 1 but becos of my solo performance for Teachers' Day, that I reluctantly joined and as a matter of fact, I enjoyed it throughly.. so ya.. shall not say abt so much of my past, for a fact that it may bore you.. but if you are curious, you can talk to me sometime abt it ya..

So anyway, Ryan was at the Guys' Fellowship and he was Sec 4 at that time of my solo performance, when I was only Sec 1.. and whilst I was sharing, he suddenly like remembered the past of seeing this small, quite plump guy, who went on the stage and sang, "If We Hold On Together".. according to him, he said that the WHOLE school was quiet during my performance, and ALL the teachers were impressed with my performance.. My performance also spurred him and his 7 other friends to do find the song to download.. and he also told me until today, he cld remember EXACTLY how I sang! So guess my voice really "stuck" in his head and made a very lasting impression? I dun koe.. maybe thats the power of my voice.. hahax.. I that time innocent kid mahx.. =).. and he kept re-confirming with me all this time as to really that person was me.. and I was like "ya..".. and he described me as the "thing" which sat there and this short and plump fellow, and now how I grow until so tall.. hahax.. I seriously dun koe.. I think now if you ask Ryan abt it, he wld have recovered most from the shock but not all.. so ya.. he said he took photos, but dun koe where he put it.. so ya.. wait till he finds it and then I see it, then I tell you all ok.. hahax.. =)

Then today went to church again for worship prac, as well as Ryan and Cat's wedding worship and special songs practice session.. it was ok.. and Mok actually asked me sing 1 verse of a song, so as to remind Ryan of that time when I was Sec 1 and he was looking down.. ha.. Frankly speaking, I'm very nervous sia.. Its not a small crowd you koe.. its like close to 500 guests.. so ya.. very big! Sure get stagefright.. but oh well.. guess thats part and parcel of life lohx.. so ya.. so from today-sat, I muz protect my voice.. =)

Then after that, followed my family for dinner, and at the same time, get my toiletries from Watson's. Watson's is currently having 20% off on their products, so I bought quite a no. of staff.. but all are my toiletries.. believe it or not, I spend $100 (AFTER discount) on my toiletries.. the bulk of the amount went to my face toiletries (facial foam, moisturing fluid and exfoliating scrub wash).

Ok lah.. its getting late liaox.. I need to sleep liaox.. I have been on the computer since 2100 hrs this evening.. did a lot of stuff.. and now very tired.. and believe it or not, I still got a few things to settle on computer, but then, I decided to sleep liaox, or else tml, I wld be zombified!

Haix.. the following work week wld be super stressful.. haix.. pray for strength to work bahx, becos at times, I have that creeping tot of resigning, but I actually held back my horses.. so ya..

Haix.. I shall take 1 day at a time..

Signing off,
<<< abriel >>>

What a disappointment!

Oh ok.. First things first, after wks, blogger has finally solved its posting blogpost issue.. now it looks normal.. ha..

But ya.. Today was my IPPT and I took a leave off work today.. Being on leave simply feels good, but it gets boring when you get nothing to do..
(But being on leave for IPPT has its perks too! It improve my scores.. so ya.. so its worth it lahx)

Anyway, the story continues, and I was doing my church stuff (for my Youth's special item for Father's Day) and also helping Jaslyn with her publicity stuff.. so ya.. so it has been a busy afternoon for me..

The time came where I had to go for my IPPT.. was breaking out in cold sweat, believe it or not.. I had no expectations at all, except that I koe I was going to fail..

Then came the time where I took my first station, Shuttle Run, and man oh man.. Ain't I surprised or something.. I actually got 3 pts (which I did NOT achieve b4 in my entire NS life).. so that was an achievement.. Then I actually up my expectation, and hoping to get the $100 incentive..

Then I chiong the other stations..

Then came standing broad jump, and that was like the final straw.. I did not manage to pass that station.. So my morale dropped..

Then came chin-up.. so its like this PTI behind me say no count this and that.. but the meter kept jumping.. so its like I dun koe whether it counted or not.. but then again, it doesnt matter, becos I still failed that station..

Then came 2.4km, and it was a miracle.. Except for the time where I did for NS, I've never pass my 2.4km run before.. and today, I got 2 pts! And thats a miracle.. I got 6 rounds to run and when I finished the first round, I was half dead, becos I completed my first round at 1.50 mins! And thats like an achievement.. never did I expect to run so fast.. and the subsequent rounds, I was catching my breathe, and I almost died I tell you.. My mind was not strong enuf.. but instead, I tell myself that I can do it and stuff..
And when I was running the last 100m, I actually sprinted, and after that, I got difficulty in breathing.. so ya..

Then its there that I felt my static stations were a pity (becos I achieve 2 pts for 2.4km, which I didnt expect it at first) and felt really demoralised and disappointed over my results..

Have told a few ppl abt my results, and they all encouraged me.. Thanx! =).. but the person who really encouraged me was my brother-in-camp, Sidney.. Bro, believe it or not.. I was really touched by your encouragement and I almost teared.. so ya.. Thanx bro for believing in me! =).. I will try harder nxt time.. I promise! =)

So to summarise, I am actually short of 4cm in my standing broad jump and 2 chin ups to get that $100 incentive.. but it didnt happen.. haix.. really sad.. dun want to brood over it, or else I wld be sianx the whole week.. so ya..

But one thing I shld be happy is that I did improve from my last result (which was my initial aim when I started the IPT prog), and also I do not need to go for Remedial Training.

So in a nutshell to let you see my results, here are my results before and after IPT.

BEFORE IPT

Sit Up: 41 (5 points)
Standing Broad Jump: 203 cm (0 point)
Chin Up: 4 (1 point)
Shuttle Run: 10.8 sec (1 point)
2.4km Run: 13.37 min (0 point)

Total Points: 7
Result: Fail

AFTER IPT

Sit Up: 41 (5 points)
Standing Broad Jump: 212 cm (1 point)
Chin Up: 4 (1 point)
Shuttle Run: 10.4 sec (3 points)
2.4km Run: 12.20 min (2 points)

Total Points: 12
Result: Fail

Haix.. looks like I have to be a disappointment tonite.. haix..

My Secret Garden

Ok.. this is one of my blogposts that there are more pics than words.. so ya.. so here goes..

*Photo on left: My oh-so-cool family @ My Secret Garden

"My Secret Garden" is the place where my family went to, for Mother Day's dinner. This is the second time I've visited the restaurant, and I must say that its a whole new different experience, becos the last I've visited the restaurant was abt 2-3 yrs ago.. so ya..

*Photo on right: Cheers mate!

Well.. for once, this is the first time that we are having wine during a dinner as a family.. ha..

What I'm holding on to was a glass of red wine (which was the wine of the month for the restaurant). If you want to know, the wine was Viu Manent Malbec-Gls 2006.. so ya.. this is under the recommendation of the restaurant manager, which happens to be my dad's ex-colleague when he is working in a bank abt 4-5 yrs back.

And I actually voiced out my concerns that it is very dry and all, but the restaurant manager assured me that this is confirm not the case, as he chose the wine and its not Australian wine, which tends to be inconsistent in its taste and all.. so ya.. quite cheem.. but I was very happy with the wine lahx.. and I think the alcohol content is a bit high, becos I can feel it lahx.. but oh well.. good wine is good wine =)..

So that day, my sis, dad and I have a glass of wine each.. My dad had a glass of white wine (Viu Manent Sauv Blanc-Gl 2006), as he was having seafood (fish to be exact).

*Photo on left: The appetizer, Secret Garden Green

This salad is so so only lahx.. But one thing I like is the grapefruit! Yummy =).. but then the down thing is that there is not enuf balsamic vinegar (which they actually only put droplets).. so ya..

*Photo on right: The fanciful landscape during nightfall at the restaurant

This photo was taken by my sis.. I'm not so artistic lahx.. hahax.. but the landscape is good rite.. =)

*Photo on left: Grilled Beef Tenderloin

This is one of their specials, but apparently I find it so so only.. The only thing that is good is that it actually "matches" with my red wine.. so ya. =)

I have a downpoint in eating meat, esp. beef.. Because though I ask it for medium rare doneness of the meat, but after a while (a quarter of the meat eaten), I actually got jelat, and dun feel like eating anymore.. but becos this is expensive stuff ($32 to be exact!), have to finish it lahx..

*Photo on right: The soup, Lobster Bisque

This soup is superb lahx.. Lobster meat, with the soup which is not so salty.. Yummy! =)

*Photo on left: Cod Fish

This is my dad's main course dish.. a pity I forgot to "tax" some, or else I wld have given you the verdict.. But it looks good isn't it? =)

*Photo on right: My dessert: Tiramisu

This is one of the best tiramisu ard.. I actually like ask what coffee liquor they use, but the restaurant manager refuse to tell.. but he juz told me that he mix a few coffee liquors, which explains the strong coffee and liquor flavour.. so ya..

But this dessert is not cheap ok.. this small slice costs $8! so ya.. but its worth it lah.. I like it.. Yummy! =)

*Photo on left: This dessert is compliments from the restaurant manager. This dessert is called, Triple Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice-Cream

This is superb stuff! You shld try it sometime.. Its complimentary for my mum (who is having it), becos its Mothers' Day and the restaurant manager is my dad's friend mahx.. =)

*Photo on right: Cheese Platters

I'm not a very cheesy person, so I didnt order this.. This is my sis "dessert".. so ya.. apparently, the cheeses are not bad, matched with walnuts and all.. but its quite fattening.. and got blue cheese, which is exactly not my cup of tea..

*Photo on left: Blueberry Cheesecake

This is agaian under the recommendation of the restaurant manager, and my dad has this dessert loh..

I "tax" some, and I muz say its good.. its not so sweet and the cheese taste is not so strong.. so ya.. Just the way I like it!

So ya.. that practically sums up the Mothers' Day celebration, and I've done my part in uploading and updating the pics liaox..

Tata all! =)

Shhh.. come to Singapore's best kept secret, "My Secret Garden",
<<< abriel >>>

Tired..

Another day just pass by like this.. I actually have a lot of ideas to like jazz up and make church publicity a fun thing to do..

I actually want to re-create a trailer video to be shown everyday during the camp.. like before teaching sessions, and ppl come in and saw the photos.. but then again, depends whether I have the details for this idea.. haix.. My brain is now brain blocked! help someone..

Other than that, nothing really much happened today.. Am currently having an MSN chat with my course junior.. he is currently attached to my company for his industrial attachment.. so ya..

Ok lah.. gtg and crack my head for ideas liaox..

Headache,
<<< abriel >>>

So sudden..

Today I have witness a sudden termination by Company of one of my fellow staff, due to poor performance.. Lazy to type it all out, but if you want to koe, then ask me face to face ok =)

Ya.. I actually have agreed to my senior operator's request of him doing overtime today, but then look at what happened.. haix..

Then before he left, he "chu" another stunt and kenna caught/question by my boss.. Super sian lahx.. I have to answer for that if my boss asked tml.. haix..

Came home and then bathe.. and then feel troubled, becos my dept has faced with shortages of staff (everyone is quitting).. and also now, my section has one guy being terminated.. I now have to re-train a new staff (if the Company managed to find one).. haix..

Ok.. looks like I have to end here, becos I got my church camp stuff to do again..

Ciaox ppl,
<<< abriel >>>

The day where I ran so much...

Yes.. Today was my first time where I ran so much during an IPT session.. Today's session is all abt running.. both intervals as well as also run at my maximum speed.. No doubt that today's weather is very conducive for running, but then I think it proved too much for me or simply my stamina drop like nobody's business? hmm..

Today's PTI (Physical Training Instructor) was different from our previous, becos my normal PTI was on duty today, so he is not allowed to train ppl.. So another PTI took over.. This PTI is like running siao.. and you shld have see his physique.. I was initially quite taken aback.. This new PTI (who took us for today) actually is super duper fit, who sports a bulging and very toned six-pack, as well as big biceps.. But he is like quite short, so you see him is like a bit of improportionate!.. and ya.. I get scared by this kind of ppl, becos its like you see him, you wld think "die.. training sure shiong!"..

But it turned out not shiong at all, except that my legs are soft now.. I wonder whether tml I wld get muscle cramps and all.. haix..

Ok lah.. gtg and complete a bit of my church stuff, and then its turning in for the nite..

Today super nice to sleep lahx.. weather super cooling =)

Muscles soft,
<<< abriel >>>

A relaxing week..

Well ppl.. At work, its relaxing (but still stressful, esp. handling my staff.. a total headache lahx..)

Then came home and then watch TV and now blog lohx.. Have to get back to my church camp stuff once this is finished liaox..

Ok.. nothing much rite.. I told you.. so its time to end my post. Ha.. this is the shortest post ever in the whole history of jazzkool lahx. =)

Cheers,

A busy week

Hey peepz..

Had a super tiring week.. And this wk is like working late nites everyday lahx... I worked till the pt that last thurs (3/5), I actually worked till 2330 hrs all becos of paperwork that I had to clear.. My colleague gave me the production schedule for nxt wk late, so everything naturally had to be pushed back..

Then as if its not enuf, the nxt day, Friday (4/5), I worked till 2230 hrs.. it was definately physically straining for me..

But the good thing is that I had my job confirmation letter liaox (Yippie!).. so ya.. and I applied leave for 3 occasions.. my IPPT, Ryan & Cat's wedding, and, church camp, and thank God all 3 are approved =)

Saturday (5/5) came, and its like I have to attend church.. Led worship yesterday in church.. was totally Spirit-led, so thank God for it lohx.. =)

Then went after church to watch Spiderman 3 with Josh, Mok, Esther and Christina.. I pre-bk the tix, so therefore I can get seats.. all the cinemas no space except GV Tiong Bahru, so no choice but have to take it lohx..

My verdict of the show? Its a MUST-WATCH!! Its the BEST of all 3 installments!.. but a down pt of it is that its a bit draggy, but overall is ok lahx.. You shld catch it sometime! =)

The nxt show that I'm interested to watch is "Pirates Of The Carribean: At World's End".. Any movie kakkis =P..

Reach home at 0005 hrs, becos the show ended at 2315 hrs (running time of show is 140 mins).. so ya..

Came home to bathe and by the time I slept, it was abt 0100 hrs liaox..

Then today went for a "marathon" session.. Below is my schedule for today:

0830-1010 : Driving
1130-1330 : Youth Meeting @ Church
1340-1420 : Lunch @ Tanjong Pagar Market (Had Lor Mee & Peanut Ice Kachang! Yummy!)
1430-1530 : Music Practice
1530-1820 : Church Camp Meeting
1830-2100 : Dinner with Family

Now then reach home and then blog now lohx.. I'm super sleepy lahx, but still have to do some church camp essential stuff.. so ya.. juz hope I dun sleep in front of the computer lohx.. =)

Oh.. today at my Youth Meeting, I was being "thrown" a question by Enoch as to who I want to be my mentor.. I was stunned for a moment, and I didnt koe what to do initially.. but then, as the mtg went on, I suddenly tot of that one person whom I wld like to be a mentee to this person.. This person is one whom I will always look up to.. A lot of stuff juz ran thru my head after that, becos its like for me to choose a person whom I want to be my mentor, is not like you go market and choose vegetables or fish or whatever that matter.. Its a really great commitment.. I have to admit that I have a lot of these mentor-mentees thing in the past, but it didnt work out, becos its either due to lost contact or sumthing.. So its like if I were to have this mentoring thing, I wld want to make it a success and not juz some slipshot thing or something.. so ya..
Anyway, to cut the long story short, I began to ponder upon the 4 choices that were being "thrown" to me to choose.. It was tough I tell you.. and finally I tot of this one person whom I wld like to be a mentor, but then I didnt say it out, becos its like I'm not sure whether is this the right person for me to be my mentor.. so ya.. This person is definately one that I can get along with so well, but whether or not God wants him to be my mentor, is a whole new different story altogether.. so ya.. So I have to pray abt it, and Enoch gave me 1 mth to consider and tell him my decision at the nxt mtg.. so ya.. So I have to get down to serious praying liaox..

Ok lahx.. I'm going to have a low production week at work, but it doesnt mean that I will rest properly, becos there is a million and one things for me to achieve for church camp.. so ya..

Human batt low.. needs recharging..,

Of shopping and all..

Well ok.. this is gonna be a short one.. becos I'm super shacked..

Woke up this morning to attend a workshop organised by my church.. then after that, went shopping with a grp of Youths (Alvin, Mok, Ash, Nat & Andrew) for Ryan & Cat's wedding later this mth.. so ya..

It was a great time lahx! Imagine 6 guys walking down Orchard and go shopping.. hahax.. this muz be one of the biggest grps of guys who go shopping together.. hahax..

But today I saw a shirt which I like and fit into the theme of the Ryan & Cat's wedding.. have gained their approval as well.. so ya.. so not too bad.. Bought liaox, but from Orchard, I went to Vivocity to get it.. its a GAP store apparel.. so ya.. I like GAP lahx.. their apparels are so nice.. so ya.. =).. Its priced at $85.. quite a good buy actually..
The reason why I went to GAP @ Vivocity, instead of the Centerpoint branch which I bought it from, is becos the one at Centerpoint is the last piece and there were some defects.. so ya.. so I didnt want to take it.. I asked them to checked out whether Vivo had new stock.. and they said yes.. so ya.. So went there to get it lahx.. so tats why..

Alvin also bought from GAP but his shirt is slightly cheaper.. $65.. so ya.. but ya.. both of us are happy lahx.. hahax.. =).. Both are satisfied customers of GAP.. =)

Then came home and bought dinner frm Chomp Chomp for family.. I indulged in sinful food lahx.. haix.. but tml is another IPT session.. Good becos I can lose all the calories that I ate today, but bad thing is tat I will be super tired.. so ya..

Ok lahx.. gtg and sleep liaox.. Super tired.. need to work tml.. sianx..

a GAP fan,
