THE blog that came too soon (haha whatever dudes!)

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

I know it seems fast that I’m posting my next blog but I just have to,
1. coz I have to voice out what I intend to say rather than bottle it up
2. coz I’d like ur opinion on "how NOT to screw up" & "how to fix it".

Yea, u guess it! My bad day has come. This is the thing. I will ALWAYS have a GREAT day or a WORST day. Seldom a so-so day. Why?? Gosh! How would I know…..

It sucks! When ur parents tell u that u have to be responsible for your actions. That u cannot lie, that u must owez keep your word.
It’s stressful when u DO screw up, people get mad at u then u find the millions & millions of ways to fix it but can’t & end up chewing yourself from inside. It sucks!

Brb!

So now that I’ve calmed down & started to think rationally, I’m sober. No longer a wreck.
But it still sucks when u have to take responsibility for what you’ve done.
But this is what I have learn from Jesus. He took other people’s responsibility into his hands & help us all.

It may be painful or it may suck but one thing is for sure, there will be justice, there will be retribution. What goes around comes around. This is NOT a threat but nonetheless this is what I believe in.

The beginning of my day & the end of it was a mess. But in between I got to enjoy a whole lot of new stuff! I attended an AGM, for those of u who r not into business, it stands for Annual General Meeting…. ok! I dont think u’d kno that either. It’s a meeting where people of a certain interest gather together a day in a year to discuss & resolve any decisions for the following year. It’s also an Election. Where there r proxies(representatives to the voters) & voting & passing of resolution.(I just learnt that it’s not called "pass motion")
LOL! My stupid logic was this: the chairperson kept saying we need someone to propose the motion & to second it so that we can pass it. If u think logically, "motion" & "pass". So PASS MOTION lah! right? right? I told my dad this & u kno what he said?? (leme check my hp so I can quote him). He said,and I quote(I love using this phrase!), "Bie, u go toilet? 2 pass motion is to ‘berak’ lah (excretion of faeces or sh*t)! AGM is to pass resolution. Btw was the tea there good? Glad u went."
Now let me explain. Let me explain! Will u…! Ahahaha… geram! It is SAID (I did not make this up), but it is said that if a company (in this case a society) is making a good profit for the year, at the AGM, there will be great food. Cuisine & all that jazz but since this is only a small AGM, there was nonetheless food. To prove it, the Financial Statements showed profits for the year. So it MAY be true. But it is also said (again, I did not make this up! Ask the biz ppl) that if a company was making a loss, there’d either be only coffee or tea or sometimes maybe just bottled mineral water. Hahaha… I don’t kno how true this is coz this is my FIRST EVER AGM that I’m attending & it was an awesome experience!
Btw, for the record, I did pass a motion or a resolution or whatever u may like to call it. So next AGM, if it’s within my schedule, I will be able to attend the NEXT AGM & see my name in this year’s "minutes" layman (not lame man!!) terms it means the schedule of the AGM next AGM. (If u dont get it, let me know…. sheesh!)

So that was my day! Awesome stuff! I even saw my dream company that I wish to work for! MICROSOFT! Why? Coz my lecturer made it like a dream come true to work there. *whispers* They have great staff benefits! *whispers* (If u really wana know, drop me a comment. I’d be obliged to elaborate.

Well, that’s all from me for now. Ciao peepz!
P.S. Thanx to Snow for tryna cheer me up! U’re a pal!
P.S.S. And to Nani again for being there to listen to me talk & to talk with me over my 1 and a half hour lunch! Lol! That’s like a world record for the longest lunch I’ve ever had! Amazing how much talking can slow down ur eating!

New blog for new chapter in my story. Hahaha….it’s now 2309hrs. Less than an hour to write my previous blog. Not bad. Improving on my typing skills. Haha. I started my free day trial for today with the ladies. Hehehe…. Went to change first la duh! Then headed on to the threadmill. Did some walking for 6mins at 5km/h, then sped up to 5.5km/h then 6.5km/h then 7km/h then 7.5km/h jogging, then Nani’s fren came & told me that I shouldn’t go so fast as I’m a beginner and that it might have an adverse affect on my health. She’s so nice to think of that. Although I did feel a bit inferior by her constant remarks about telling me to go slow…. (I had done this before, it’s not like I can’t manage). Then I headed onto something else that I knew, the pedalling exercise machine. There, I did a warm up which I was supposed to do but I did only after the threadmill, then I headed onto the stair master which is actually a machine that mimics that of a person walking up a stairs. I did that for 15mins. Nani was still on the threadmill when I was doing the cycling so when I started the stairmaster, I was a bit slower than her so we finished about the same time. Then I looked at my hp coz I msged my aunt to tell her I wasnt going home so soon & that I’d be a bit late for dinner. So I kept checking my hp for a reply then I realised it was 6.42pm (again, I had a digital clock to tell me this, I don’t tell time to the exact minute!). Our hip hop class had started! It was supposed to be at 6.30pm. So we quickly rushed up the stairs & luckily enough, they were just starting with the warm up. The instructor, apparently sounds Aussie… cool eh! I kinda can’t see his face coz he wore a cap and since we were late, we were kinda at the back…. So we started with the dance moves. According to him, I kept laughing at every mistake I made. He thought I was making a mockery out of Hip Hop, where in fact I was just shy to start dancing ALL over again & to dance where everyone else could see. I needed to catch up on my exercise regime all over again. (mind you, I was VERY athletic in school, doing ECAs, doing sports……) So he’s really good! at dancing…. I have yet to verify if he’s THAT good-looking. Hehehe…. But he kept insisting that "some" of us weren’t doing very well. Must be me coz I’m new & a bit rusty at dancing. He said that if we didnt take it seriously, he would send us out of the studio. Yikes! I knew it was me that was pissing him off. Hahaha…. Not bad eh, 1st impression & oredi I’m pissing off the instructor. So anyway, I tried my best. Nani was trying her best as well. By the end of the lesson, I was doing pretty well but since there were lots of moves & he was going pretty fast! I got lost everytime there was a spin move. After the spin, I’m like, ok, what’s next? When it came to the girls’ turn to dance & the boys to relax, I froze. I remembered the beginning but after the spin, I forgot again. My gosh! Better practice after this so that I can still recall….. After this, I finally got a msg from my aunt. I still have dinner!! yay! So I went to shower….. But thing was, I didn’t know they had a shower here so I didn’t bring extra lingerie or undergarments if u wud like to call it. So what I did was showered, then wore my old clothes except my new shirt which I brought with me & went home like that. They had shampoo, hair conditioner & shower gel so I used them all! It was fun! It was free but there was a price to pay if I were to take the membership. So I was still on the fence about the membership….. but that was in the back of my mind. Heck! I’m enjoying the free day trial too much! Then I used the hair dryer, the cotton bud, the water dispenser. Before we left for the night, we went by toilet to pee of course! Hehehe…… Now I know why the ladies is not necessarily for peeing…… It felt like the girls in there were all getting ready for a prom. Coz there were hair dryers, mirrors everywhere…. well, u get the picture. I was thinking, this feels like when u’re about to go for a date, u pamper urself silly by being in here & dolling urself up for ur man & I’m like, I got no Man! Hahahaha….. It was awesome, before I left, I squeezed some lotion onto my hand then before I left the ladies, I asked the security lady who happened to be nearby, "Is this for the hair or for the hands?" And she’s like, it’s for the hands & I was like, ok, thank you! Hehehehe…. and ran off! Hehehe… returned the towels & headed with Nani to the bus stop to wait for our buses. I had a great day!! I’m glad I managed to get a good deal at the Gym & that Nani could finally benefit from introducing me to California Fitness. So now I’m at home, in my room typing this LOOOOONNGGGG blog coz, well, as u can see, my day was pretty long……. My body doesnt ache so much as it normally does when I do sporting activities but it aches nonetheless. It also doesnt ache as much as when my sis & her fren came to visit & I was wearing wedgies…. hahaha! wedges la…. type of sandal… hallooooo!!! which planet r u from? Kidding! Kidding! Aikzzz…. marah tia….. =p So technically, I’m gona overspend on gym, clothes & what nots…. hopefully I will manage my time properly now that I’ve learnt my lesson from last minute studying & fatigue which has probably made me sleep for like, centuries…… I’m awake from the sleeping mode! Hehehe….. I hope u enjoyed my blog. I didnt blog for the longest time & I hope this makes up for all the unblogged blogs…. Ciao~ Night night! I’m gona get a REALLY good night’s rest tonight. Another great day tomoro. I wana Thank Nani & God & my parents for this really great experience. This blog is dedicated you. Muahs~ ~Debbie~ P.S.If u really wana see what the gym looks like, comment & I’ll try to snap pix for u guys to see…… lots of guys around the gym lor…. eye candy!!! Hehehe…. no! my main goal is to lose weight! hear me? lose weight! ciao~

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

OK! So it’s 2210hrs on a Wednesday night…..
OR shud I say,
it’s ONLY 2210hrs on a Wednesday night…..
Pro English students, do u see the difference??

The reason why I added the "ONLY" was not because I liked the word, it was cause my day was EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA SUPER DUPER long…. how long? (refer to previous sentence) =p

Wanna kno why? Coz these days I have been so rajin as to study, wake up early & sleep early….
Hahaha… that doesn’t make sense…. that just says how rajin I have been over the week.

Ok! So it all started when I was supposed to go use up my slimming voucher which I was brainwashed into purchasing…. (for those of u who now know, please do not tell my parents unless u wana hav me killed).

So on with my story….

I went to Bugis Library yesterday, Tuesday to rajin rajin study right….. right…..
So then I thot, since I’m here & since it’s lunchtime, I’ll go get my free newspaper courtesy of Today. So I went there, then I was on my way heading back to the Library when I saw this ad from California Fitness…. This line from Russell Peters, "I swear, they put it there to confuse u." (Somehow it fits, don’t ask me how) It said $2 per day…. And I was like, Oh! Cool! So cheap! I wana join…… I thought in the back of my mind, wow! an offer I can’t refuse. I thought it was a $2 a day kinda thing… Rupanya u hav to be committed for a year. A monthly fee of $x will give u approx $2 a day if u count by daily basis. (This I found out later).

So I thought, "Well, hey, why not? There’s nothing that can beat the ad that I saw" (an amended line from Aaron Carter’s song - Oh Aaron)

So I asked Nani to check it out for me today, Wednesday. I woke up at 7.27am (I kno coz I have a Digital clock…. hehehe….)
Then I took my sweet time, showering, washing my hair, then preparing my b’fast to be eaten in class. I like to be there extra early so I can get good seats….

After that I was off, on my way to class….. the strange thing today was that, on the way there, I was relaxed as ever……Amazing! I’m usually very "kan chiong", very in a hurry to be somewhere…. but today, I was so relax & a lil dreamy that I actually forgot it was in the morning & that I was on my way to class. I usually hurry off especially if I’m going for class. Today I almost got swept away that I was going for class. Then I snapped back to reality & I was off walking at around 6km/h (I kno this from a later experience which I will mention soon…. soon….. if u can wait…. hehehehe)

OK. So I was at Bugis Parco Junction, and well, my purpose was to get my eyes checked & to change my contact lens box coz both boxes r for the right eye only…. weird! So anyway, I saw this girl there again today, the same one as yesterday. And guess what? She wasn’t very nice to me yesterday so when I saw her, I walked passed the shop, went AROUND just to avoid passing it again & went to The SPA Culture. The place where the voucher came from. so I hesitated a bit, then finally decided to give it a shot & find out what they’re services are.

So I went there, "I swear! People who don’t know me, look at me weird. As if I’m some retarded person & when I open my mouth to speak, they react differently". It’s really demeaning. SO anyway, back to my story. I asked her about this & that…. (I find it a bit useless now & I’m kinda getting tired so I’ll kinda skip this part & proceed on to the exciting one). She kept saying that one session was not enough & I bought a session which MAY or may NOT show much results. But the alternative was the facial….. I asked my sis & her fren when they were here to visit for their opinion, they said facial. (I have yet to blog about their visit here… sorry!)

So then I thought, ok I’ll ask mum.

Then came another problem. The $2 a day, was not $2 a day on a on-off basis. There was committment…… for a year!
Then I started to get confused….. they started explaining….. Luckily I had Nani there to consult & compare with if it was "feasibly acceptable"…. (too much accounting work)

So, then he gave me SO many alternatives, I almost went blurr. I couldn’t think straight & I couldn’t decide if it’s a committment I can commit to. So he was nice enough to tour me around & let me think it over for a day…. due date is tmrw in case u’re wondering…..

So, then Nani tells me that I can get a free one-day trial at the gym & I got the pass for today…. I used it up, I LURVED the day I had…….

It started of with the tour, it was amazing….. the toilets r like, brand new…..
Btw, if I forgot to mention, California Fitness belongs to Jackie Chan aka Chan Chen Loong, the Kung Fu master cum actor, or wud u rather call it Famous actor because of his skill in Kung Fu.

So on with the story…
there r 2 floors… TWO!! TWO huge floors!! Ok… first floor is for Cardio exercise…. they have the cycling machine, the threadmill, the stairmaster, etc. etc….. The best part! It’s in air-cond & there’s a TV for u to enjoy while exercising….! Take ur pic, MTV, Channel 5, Channel NewsAsia, Star Sports…. wow!

The 2nd floor is mostly the dance studio, the abdomen exercise machines, the thigh, the knees, well, all the muscles la… I don’t remember oredi. Then since Nani was with me, the guy told me (ok, since I’m gona keep calling him "the guy" & I myself don’t kno his name, I will disappear for awhile to go get his calling card & TELL u ppl his name)…..

This is the beauty of blogging. I will disappear for dunno how many minutes to go charge my poor hp which has been overused today msging my parents for approval & permission and I will come back & continue my story & u won’t feel the difference.

So his name is Phang Ti Tuan, let’s call him Tuan… ahhaha…. Tuan…. I think I will call him Phang. ok sounds more phat. (whatever!)

So where was I? Oh yea, so Phang told Nani to bring me to the ladies since he couldn’t go in. I was a bit silly to think he would bring me in to show me. But he went a bit shy & said to Nani, u bring her in & let her see since u know the place pretty well. And she was like, ok. I went in….. Wow! Was I amazed! they had individual lockers, bring ur own lock so u can lock ur own locker & they don’t cost a cent extra. Then there was the water dispenser. They were almost everywhere. Even if u didn’t bring ur water bottle, u can still get indispensible water. Then head on was the dressing table! There’s a dressing table!!! Even my room doesn’t have a dressing table. What’s more, there’s a hair dryer, a box of cotton pads, cotton buds, hand lotion & tissue box. It was like being in Brunei’s 5-star hotel, Empire Hotel! (I stayed there TWICE! Nyeh nyeh ni nyeh nyeh! =p)

Then Nani brought me to around the corner. The surprise was not over…. upon heading to the showers, I scolded Nani, "Nani! why u never tell me it’s THIS nice!!!?!?!??!". And she defensively replied, "I did! U didn’t believe me!"

I probably don’t remember how impressed Nani was when she joined membership but I don’t think I would be THIS sober about it even after being member for 4mths oredi!

So we went to see the showers, then Nani excitedly brought me to see the other part of the ladies. There was a Sauna & a Sauna…. hahahaha! ok! I duno what u call it but there’s a heated sauna & a vapour sauna…. correct me if I’m wrong but this is how I shall call it from now on.

Then we peeked into both… there was a lady in each sauna wrapped in a towel. They looked like they were enjoying it VERY much. I was wearing my specs today so when I opened the vapour sauna, my glasses fogged up & Nani laughed at me… =p The vapour sauna reminded me a lot of the Friends TV Series incident… those of u who watched that episode can relate.

So… then I left the ladies with Nani & headed back to meet Phang to discuss the serious matter of my visit… the fees… We discuss earlier about how I came to kno about C.Fitness, etc but didn’t discuss the fees until later on. So we discussed. Nani kept sniffing away coz her fees r MUCH more than what the guy was offering me…. So I thought, ok, a good bargain & he was like, I’ll give u a month’s free…. I started to smile again…. man! I was like on Mars or something… it was a crazy up & down feeling……

Maybe coz I kept insisting that my parents may or may not allow & that I’m a student & that if I was working, I would definitely say yes anyday or even if I were to strike lottery, I would say yes immediately. I kept hesitating to say yes or anything for that matter.

I didn’t wana pay a deposit now & say I will join but tmrw decide that I don’t wana & then I’ve oredi paid……. I’ve learnt my lesson from the Voucher I bought from The SPA Culture.

So, he then decided to give me a deal, a student package at $x price for a 11-mth period, 1 mth free, no enrollment fee & processing fee of $98. This was like, the BEST price he could offer me oredi. No cheaper! Then he said he will let me pay some amount now & another amount at the end of the month. He agreed. So then Nani got me the free day trial for a day. He wanted to give it to me tmrw, but I insisted on today coz I was oredi there (one), and two, I oredi brought my clothes with me. AND three, Nani told me a few times that they have Hip Hop classes on Wednesday so I ambil kesempatan & join for the day. (Very tired, rest kajap yerr??)

I have not stopped blogging…. Nooooo~~~
