feeling better

eek....2 a.m. and i'm awake. so glad first aid course is finally over!! 2 days straight, 9-4. boring boring boring. today wasn't that bad, had so many role plays. our group rocks! our role plays are just so funny! even had a person acting as a toilet bowl, freaking toilet bowl that doesn'st stop flushing.... such a crack up!! melissa being a good imitation of an old man was classic...man!! old ppl are just so annoying!! haha!! one of the scene, i acted as the patient who stupidly threw petrol onto the bbq stove and got burnt on my arms and erin was the 1st aid person. so yea, when she was checking my circulation after attending to my arm, she squeezed my injured foot and i screamed. she was like...what? is she meant to injure her ankle as well? and i was like.. no no!! seriously don't squeeze it!! i'm seriously injured!!! and omg! she tot i was acting... far out! the looked on her face just cracked me up so much...she was so shock when i screamed.... thank god she didn't squeeze where my talo fibular ligament was, just squeezed the bruised part... yayy!! i pass my 1st aid course!! lolxx..duh...everyone passes.... if i'm really presented with a real situation, i don't think i'll be able to do it ay!

feeling so much better today. think it's coz the role plays in 1st aid just made me laugh so much till i forgotten abt my injury. came home, checked my email and peiyun drew me a picture to cheer me up, it sure did help!!thanks!! haha.... thanks yingswan and darren for the msgs on my tagboard :). made me realized things are not so sucky afterall. yes, i'll come back next yr stronger and i did enjoy myself during the trainings, be it with the whole team or just audrey, yean and yingswan. of course, i enjoyed the after trainings reward as well :D.... lunch on weekends and juice with audrey nd yean on weekdays. thanks audrey for texting me nd yes, maybe it's a blessing in disguise and yes, we're gna get juice!!!!!!! juice juice juice!!! no need to buy me juice lar, after all u've done for me, i shld be the one buying juice for u instead! thanks david for calling me up yesterday and yes, i'll be there supporting the team :)

ok, this shall be my last post till i come back frm dunedin. tmrw will hv to sort out my student loan coz this slacker here hvnt applied her student loan yet since the start of the year, go to accupuncturist, pack for dunedin. ooo!! now i'm excited. i'm gna pig out on the breakfast there to make my 40 bucks per night worth it. i told yingswan, i will be coming back being a fatty bom bom and the rest will be coming back as skinny stick stick. then she's gna stop me frm eating too much for the sake of my health! haha!!! have a safe trip to everyone going down to dunedin and win win win....haha!! have a safe and fun holiday to everyone! and to those going up the moutains, enjoy the snow this yr! good good snow!! anyone who looks like me and wants to go to the mountains, i'll hire my season pass to you for 50 bucks and ski/snowboard as much as u want for this winter holzz!! i'm serious bout this ok.. but u gta look like me!!! basically if u hv black hair,oval shape face, average size, not too white, not too tan, then can already. make sure u wear ur shades and then u'll look like me. haha!!

i hv to let it out, i hv to cry....and maybe in the end, i'll all be fine....

no, i can't handle it anymore... i don't know why. i kept on telling myself to think positive, it's not that bad, no big deal, i can handle it, just ignore the bad and laugh and everything will be all good. but no, all the sucky feelings just keep on coming back. last few days, i kept on having hopes that i will be able to play, i will be able to play. but today, reality check came in. went to the accupuncturist and he said my sprain is pretty bad. i've torn the ligaments and broke some blood vessels. not allowed to run or jump as i might make it worst and will take a longer time to heal. like what the physio said, i need at least one month and can be even more.

he poked some needles into my ankle and leg, send some electric thingy through my leg for 30 mins (very weird feeling, u feel vibration going on beneath the skin), apply some heat (i cldnt feel it coz something is damaged as well...dno what larr.. he was speaking mandarin to my parents and i didn't understand some words....), press here press there, squeeze some clotted blood out, put some medicine, bandaged it up. now i can walk normal but slow. but at least i can walk. but i'm not allowed to run or jump. must stay away from sports for at least a month. that whole 30 minutes lying down there, i was just thinking :"damn damn damn! why must this happen to me? why am i so unlucky?"...

sigh.... on the way home, sucky feelings came up again, had tears in my eyes. now, sucky feelings is still here. i really can't take it anymore. i wanted to just go to my mom and let out everything since i've no one else to let it out on.... maybe if my brother is here, i wld do that..... coz she won't understand i guess. she'll just say :"what? u telling me u want to play after u've injured urself so bad? u don't want to heal is it?". how do i kno she wld say that? coz she's said that before. but no, this time it's not that. this time i just need to complain and whine. so since i don't have anyone to let out my feelings, i'll just do it here..... sorry but i have to coz i want to feel better....

to be honest, never in my life have i volunteered to train hard for something and push myself and got so enthusiastic about it. this is so stupid, it's just a game, probably just a friendly game where u mix arnd with other msians arnd nz. why did i push myself? i dno, i guess it's just for self satisfaction? the kind of satisfaction u get when u know u deserve it after all the hard work even if u don't win but u know it's the best u did.....no, i hvn't been satisfied with myself for a very very long time. can't even remember when was the last time. i just realized, the last time i trained so hard for something, the hard work also did not pay off. but that wasn't voluntary at first, i was being pushed to train for it by mr.ang(swimming coach for those dat dno). it was 2001 where he realized i'm a potential long distance nd he decided to train me up for it for msss 2002 since nt many ppl do long distance, i stood a chance. i trained for it, wanted to give up so many times coz it got boring but he kept on pushing me, telling me the hard work will be paid off, kept on motivating me. when it got to the end of the year, parents said i'm going to nz the following yr to study. i got angry, disappointed, sad......sort of the feeling i'm having now..... i gave up after i came to nz... don't see the point of training hard for anything anymore as i do not want that disappointment again.... whole of college life, never push myself, never give it my best for anything....came out of college, realized i wasn't satisfied with myself.... regretted so many things that i cld hv done....

so this yr at uni, i decided to make a change nd go for it. joined umsa, joined netball, was lucky to get into the team and then i made a goal...to train hard for it since i hvnt played it before and be as good as the rest of the team and do my best in the game. that wld easily give me self-satisfaction. just last week, i thought --- no way can i be disappointed, what could happen? it's finally happening!! i'm gna get my self satisfaction!!! so close, yet so FAR just because of a stupid clumsy move.....stil cnt believe that that fall caused all of this!!! yes, i'm disappointed. the cycle has repeated itself. i'm over-reacting, i know but i can't help it. think about it, it's only what....2 months of hard training? why am i making such a big fuss out of it? why am i as disappointed as 4 yrs ago? that was more than 2 months, that was nearly a year.... do ppl tend to over-react as they get older? i analyzed it.... i kno y i'm over-reacting.. coz next yr i know for a fact that i won't put in as much effort as this year... why? it' s just my character....... i'm afraid of disappointment again....hence, i won't want to put in much effort anymore....i give up......

i accepted those criticisms and yellings coz of my mistakes, i accepted the fact that i'm not good, i accepted that my catching/throwing sucks, i accepted that my leg works are very ugly, i get all worried when something isn't right, i crack my head to think how to fix it, i accepted the fact that i can't shoot, i felt bad for being a GA coz i sucked, i worked hard to improve my shooting, i worked hard to improve my catching and throwing, i tell myself i suck and i have to do better, i always try to think of new moves when i hear "don't always do the same move", i drive all the way frm tamaki to city every fridays and then to windmill, i played under the rain once and continued despite the allergies i got frm dirty rain water, i tahan the itchiness due to rain water nd continued playing, i made a point to go to rec centre on weekdays to practice even if it's just one hr, i practiced even when exams are so near/exams are on, i was learning how to split my legs better after catching the ball, i was learning how to improve communication with yin in the D, i was learning how to communicate with the C and WA......all this for NOTHING

ahh!! feel so much better letting it all out. hope when i wake up tmrw morning, i will accept the fact that i can't play. coz right now in me, there's still this tiny voice saying "shermayne, don't give up, u still can play. still got one more week. just don't care, injure it again and then u can fix it again." so i hope the bigger voice in me will conquer the little voice coz the big voice is saying :" u siao arrr? injure again then might not be able to fix!! accupuncturist already say NO running, no jumping, no SPORTS...after he found out u've been playing, u dead meat larr u!!! mother scold, father scold, accupuncturist might scold and say can't be fixable"...

anyhuuzzz....thanks to everyone who wished me well, really nice of you all to do that. really appreciate it. thanks!!! and sorry to those who i shut off today on msn saying i don't have mood to talk, make any jokes or laugh with. so sorry!! i really didn't have the mood and the crazy/funny side of me was switched off.....happy shermayne will be back soon so plz dun stop talking to me!!!!! byebye!!!!

right now, i'm just feeling so..................... i-don't-know-how-to-feel feeling... hmmnn.. i just typed one whole paragraph about how i feel but deleted it...lolx!!! decided it sounds too dramatic and pity-ish.... let's just say that the physio said i tore my ligament and to be able to play in 9 days, i have to be a very very lucky person.... chinese doctor here i come! u better bring me better news...

i wanted to go on a blogging frenzy but i can't think of anything to blog.... thinking of what to blog also make me so bored already.... i think u r bored as well... no no no!! i must cheer up!!!!! must think happy thoughts..come on!! happy thoughts...happy thoughts....peter pan!!!!!!! ok, no, i don't want to talk about peter pan...hmnnnn...ooo!!i can talk about prison break!!!! ooo!! u HAVE to watch it... michael is HOT!! ok ok, so he's not THAT hot but still hot.. hot enough to warm me up.... lalalaala!!! and hot enough to keep me watching it.... if only shiun has his harddrive now.... then i can spend my whole weekend watching it.... now, i really dno what i should do these few days..can't shop can't play sports...i want to clean my room but i'm afraid i might trip and fall on my books.... i want to write up my shopping list again but there's no point in doing that since i can't shop....i wanted to go to the gym and get back to my fitness and lose all the chocolate fats but i can't anymore.... i just hv to continue getting fatter.....man! even if i heal, i wld be so unfit for the games..... this is getting quite depressing... no no, i mustn't feel depress... coz if i feel depress, then it might slow the healing down... mind and body are one!!! so must take care of the mind as well to heal the body... hehehe!!!! biopsychosocial model.... hehehe...that's the only thing i learn frm psychology...oh ya..the paper today was tough.. it's the only paper where i think i might not pass....... didn't know getting 30 marks out of 100 can be that hard.... i was just sitting in there counting how many marks i will definitely get.....26!!! arghh!! 4 more...4 more.. let's just hope i got good guessing skills....

of tummy ache and the world cup

shall use up my last post now since i doubt i'll be blogging tomorrow or thursday. i shall keep my laptop again. why? because i haven't been doing much studying. yesterday, i organized my notes, plan up what day i should study what topic and planning to start today. i've got heaps more to read i don't even think i'll have time to summarise them. just read and sit the exam counting on luck? gahh!! i need 14% to pass, that's quite a lot. this paper is worth a whole 60%. shucks!

so why didn't i study today? well, i used up the whole day lying in bed all because of a sore tummy. it was really bad ok, wanted to puke a couple of times. why the sore tummy? i think it was the rendang i had for breakkie this morning. (now for once u need not be jealous that u don't get to eat the rendang) gahh! but every1 else in the family was fine, why me?? man!!! maybe i've been eating too much lately, hence my tummy decided ENOUGH so it decided to be sore so i can't eat. GrrRRrRR! i guess it's not happy anymore? but but... food makes ppl happy!!!! ohh wellzzz.. at least i'm better now thanks to my mommy's love and her reflexology. haha! it does work ok!! shall be a late night for me tonight staying up studing. at least hv to get 2 chapter done. 10 chapters needs to be completed by friday!

now now... here's what everyone's talking about... the world cup.. bluek!! i'm not a fan of football/soccer whatever u want to call it. only watch the semi-finals and finals. why? coz i just wna know who wins. haha!! and the reason i don't really follow it is coz they take damn bloody long to score a goal. i mean, i only get excited when the ball goes in. hence, i only love watching the news, they just show the scene where the ball goes in. and everytime when u think the ball is gna go in, it doesn't. so anti-climatic, it's like :"go go go go go!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

so who do i support? well, i first watched it when i was 6 and brazil won.. when i was 10, france won but brazil got second....i'll just take it as homeground advantage larr.... so i'm just sticking to brazil.. coz brazil won the last one as well. see, i don't like getting disappointed. so if i just support the team that has had the most wins, then it's less likely for me to be disappointed.

ok... that's it for now.10 posts limit is all used up!!!! i'll be back on the 23rd after 4.30pm! yeaa man!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Monday- powercut in auckland except for those lucky bastards in northshore. pfft!! drove all the way to tamaki thinking that maybe it's just my area that don't have power, i could still do my work in tamaki and photocopy my diagrams. on the way there, heard on the radio it was the whole of auckland. nahhh....can't be that bad, i'm sure they have generators there so it wld be all sweet. nope, that did not happen. the whole campus shut down. bluekk!!! yingswan suggested i shld just DRAW...and so, i did... here's the pics u wna see.....lolx!!

powercut wasn't too bad...was only for a few hrs...just don't get to hv my morning shower.. that's it... and hd to wear more clothes....if u don't have any exams whatsoever, just lie in the bed and sleep.. it's real cosy and nice..... not like in msia... where it gets really hot and u can't really do anything.. if u decide to sleep, it's too hot to sleep... if u decide to run around, u get really hot and sweaty and yucky...and...mozzies!!! urghhhh!!!

i remembered when we were young(ok, my grandma story time...haha) blackout always happens at night.... then we wld hv candle light dinner and use the candle to do our work.. after that, will sit in the garden drinking soft drink and ice! that was the time where we can drink one full cup...usually i wld hv to share with my brother... then after that my brother and i will climb to the roof and just sit there coz it's cooling..haha! blackout occurs very often in msia...but not the whole of selangor.... sometimes it's just like one tiny area only.. so sometimes...... i use that as an excuse when i don't get to finish my work.. one was during std.4 where we have to check i dno how many freaking chinese idioms from the super thick dictionary and write it down.... what i wld do is take a scrap paper with all my maths working and stick it to the book.. go to school next day, act all shocked and tell teacher black out and i stuck my stuff in the dark so i stuck the wrong stuff....and she believed it.. gosh!! it's better than the dog ate my hwk or the wind blew it away excuse.. i was a freaking genius last time man! haha!!!

(ok,grandma story over)

Tuesday- studied anatomy. get to photocopy the rest of my diagrams. "decorated" my room wall with diagrams and mind maps or whatever u call it lar...... pretty ain't it?



Wednesday- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YU SHENG nd JOANNA!!! studied anatomy again. more diagrams and mind maps and tables. omg!!! the bones, ligaments and muscles are taking over my dolphins!! ohh no!! hehehe.....


Thursday- bad bad dream. more like silly. blame it on the diagrams. i dreamt that they came alive, the bones of the foot started moving and then i was kinda fascinated with it but but..... i cldnt name the bones!!! they were all weird! either not at the position where they were meant to be or just a really weird shape!! and they kept swapping places!! Woke up and decided ENOUGH... no more studying for me. 15 hrs the last 3 days, that should be alright. I still have the whole lower limb section but i'm just gna give up. At night, checked cecil. Far Out! 43.86% out of 50%...my oh my!! i can actually get an A easily!! damn damn damn!!!decided i should go for it!!!! here's what i did....

good way of studying huh?


Friday- left house at 7.30 hoping to get a parking behind the engineering building. reached there, all gone. parked at parnell instead. long walk up the hill!! gahh! at least i save on parking!! went to computer space and did more studying and started panicking when i saw last year's paper. oh my goondusami!!! (yea, u don't say oh my god coz it's bad to blame it on god. u say goondusami coz goondusami is always the person to blame. who is goondusami? it's someone i created, and yes, u can blame him too when things are not going well) ok.. that was random..back to where i stopped.. where was it? ohh yea... oh my goondusami!!!! so tough!!! i can't answer most of them!! especially the insertions, origins and actions of the muscles!!! it's 15 muscles only but out of 111!!! (yes, i counted them but don't pity me, it's not that hard compared to ...... chemistry or whatever subjects other than sportsci. sportsci is for mentally challenged ppl like me.it's actually easy if u hv a darn good memory capacity coz all u hv to do is memorise them and u're sweet. u dun even need to hv any understanding whatsoever.) i'm definitely not aiming for A anymore. no way man!

10am- checked my phone and yingswan txted me, saying she's at the rec centre already playing squash. decided i hd enough of anatomy so went there nd played a bit as well. heeheee..quite fun tho i suck.... later, had netball 11-12.30... no, that wasn't the highlight of the day.. highlight of the day was... TANK!! yea man!!!! we went there after netball. coz i hvnt bn going for two weeks! i need my juice to make me happy.... heeeheee.... i became a happy person!! then touch...1-3.... it was only me, yingswan, sheng and sean...how sad!!! slackers!! the rest are slackers!! haha!!! no larrr...they hv exams....cnt blame them, they wna do well, unlike me who already given up. gta admit, eventho it was only 4 of us, it was still fun... realized u need to run quite fast...hehehe, touch is fun coz it's like a game of tag when u playing when u were young...teeehee!!!

Saturday- today....ermm...anatomy exam was alright.. but i don't think i'll get my A.... sigh.....came out of the exam 30 mins earlier... my first time leaving an exam early.. well, when i left, the whole lecture hall had like maybe a quarter of the class left.... so it's not too bad....besides, can't wait to come home to see my dad...he came back today!!! he got my coconut sweet!!!! so happy!!!! u know those coconut sweet wrapped in red transparent or yellow transparent wrapper? hehehe... hvnt been eating them for AGES!!! then suddenly one day my bro and i were talking about coconut then somehow came up with coconut sweet.... wonder if he got my 3-in-1 milo...didn't check properly.. was more excited bout the sweet... thanks dad!! went for dinner afterwards at the nyonya restaurant.. we had........................ wait, no..... can't mention it or some of u might get jealous...hehe... it's great to be me, i know...haha! (so perasan!)

food= happy tummy= happy shermayne

Nothing can make me any happier when there's food.

have i told you how much i love food? food can really make me the happiest person on earth!!!

last saturday was like...woahh!! so good man!!!!

afternoon had chicken laksa at rasa sayang along symonds st....then at night, mum said we're going to have dinner with yuen and family. where? at this malaysian nyonya restaurant at howick. it was my first time going there though i live so close to howick. anyhuuuzzz.... when she told me msian food, i was like..gahh!! must it be today? i just had msian in the arvo... ohh welllzzzz.....

had hainanese chicken, prawns(dno what prawns is it but it's good), beef rendang, the tofu that's crispy on the outside, soft like jap tofu in the inside and covered with soy sauce and fried ikan bilis, coffee sauce pork(the only dish that i didn't like) and vegetable(don't really fancy vege). but yea.. man!! the rest was so good!!!!!! YuMMmMYY!!!! i was basically grinning while eating my food.... cldnt stop smiling....apparently i've got this really funny expression when i'm enjoying my food a lot.. my whole family can tell.. especially when it comes to dessert..omg omg!! yes!!! dessert!!!!!!!! YummMMm!!! we had sago with gula melaka and coconut cream.....wooahhh!! syok man!! ahhhhh!!! so good...so good... taste like heaven!! wait, i hvnt tasted heaven... taste like....sago and gula melaka larr.... very good!!!! i was a very happy person!!!

then today.... good good dinner..thanks mom! i was feeling real shitty bout my exams the past two days..biosci107 and sportsci105... if only i studied harder for them... they were actually easy paper compared to past papers.... but gahh!!!! felt like an idiot.... very geram!!!! if only i started studying last week.. i calculated and i spent only a total of 14 hours on biosci 107... 9 hours on wednesday(yes, i was cramming), 4 hrs on tuesday and 1 hour on sunday.... i cldnt be stuffed doing past papers on wednesday coz they were too hard and no answers to them.... 14 hours... not a lot.... ppl spent like 14 days.... the mid-term for bio, i spent one week... blehhh.... then sportsci 105, i spent 8 hours... 6 hours on monday, 2 hours yesterday.... hehhh...why so little yesterday? coz after bio i was like..woohoo!!!! in a happy mood tho i cld hv done better..and then i checked cecil and realized i only need 10% for 105 to pass.... but now i feel so shitty coz this morning most ppl got like higher than me!! 42%-48%.. i'm 41%...yerrrrr..... i thrashed them in bio..... bio is hard...how can they thrash me in sportsci....eeeeekkk!! felt so dumb.... then again, they are sporty so it's easier for them to speak during the practical....they got like 9 out of 10.. me.. i just passed...5 out of 10....haha!!!!

ok.. i'm going off topic.. i'm meant to talk about my dinner.... ok, after feeling so shitty and everything........ i'm all happy now.. why? coz my mummy made chicken rice tonight!!!! it was so good i tell u!!! and and... i ate till i'm satisfied..like seriously satisfied!! one whole chicken between 3 people.. and i ate maybe half of it? heeeeheeee.. so happy!!!! talking abt it is making me all smiley now... lalalalalala!!! i still wonder how those chics in msia can be so slim....screw them!! i rather be happy than starving myself just to look good... tummy more important =p....speaking bout msia.. my brother is going back this winter holzz...for two weeks.. then last week come back here for skiing...lucky fella.. i think he's going back coz he misses his gf...heeeeheeeee....but he never say.. he just says he feels like going back for a holiday..haha! so cute!!! thank goodness dad's coming back next sunday orelse mom will be all alone during the holz since i'll be at dunedin....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

didn't go to tank today.. didn't feel like it coz netball wasn't tiring.. was just shooting with audrey.. yean didn't come.. she's meant to but she forgotten....spent one hour waiting for her but she didn't show up.. so yea.... practice was still good tho... so much more to improve on..... and i'm a very un-coordinated person...haha!!!

tmrw netball 10.30-12.30..but i'm going to reach tamaki at 8 to take the free bus.. this stingy girl here wants to save on petrol.....travelling 13.85km uses up one litre of petrol...that's 1.709 bucks.... frm my house to tamaki, it's around 12k... so it wld cost around 2.90 for to and fro... whereas if i drive to city, i wld cost me i dno how much.. way more than 2.90... haha!!! plus i need to find parking....blehhh... anyway, hope can go to tank after netball!! didn't go this week.... omg! think i'm addicted to it.... at least i'm not addicted to red bull... but red bull works ok... that day at tamaki, they were giving out a can of red bull to everyone in the library... haha!! so that's how i managed 9 hrs of study straight!! ok, maybe it was the big breakkie i had at mcds in the morning..haha!! but still... red bull works.. but nahh.. musn't rely on it.... I'VE GOT THE POWER!!!! *says it in bruce almighty way*

haha!! i've gone MAD!!! shall stop now... lalala!!!

Life's good when you have food!

Have an awesome weekend and a great week ahead!!!

i dun hv discipline

it's so tough, so tough for getting myself into a study mood... i thought this year would change, have i not learnt my lesson from the last two years? two years of disappointment.. it mustn't happen this year... i don't want to disappoint myself again... i want to do well like my brother, so i can say i'm as good as my brother or just a wee bit below him but not WAY WAY behind him... but at the same time, it's tough.... i think i'm easily influenced which sucks... all my friends at sportsci all just want to pass... they're not aiming for A's....biosci is the hardest paper for us.... they want to pass it, they're struggling to pass it.... all they say is :"i hope i pass, i hope i pass...man! u're sweet for biosci, u just need 6%".... yea, true... i just need 6%.... why study? the paper is worth 40%... so easy to get 6%... but i don't want to just pass, i want to try to get an A!! but with what everyone is saying, half of me is like" yea yea.. i'm all sweet for biosci...." and half of me is:" shucks!! i need to get 90% for this exam to get an A-!"...... *sighs* really don't know what to do.... today was meant to study the whole section of Cell processes, where am i up to? first two pages of the first lecture.... and what's the time now? 9.25p.m.....

here's my plan for the next dno how many weeks..three wks i think... last two weeks ain't detailed coz i can't plan that far... i'm just worried for this week...if i can stick to this week's plan, then i have a slight chance of getting A- for my biosci 107..given up on sportsci105 coz i screwed it up so far....

stuffed up.. if u have a bad day, just keep smiling... the next day will be better...

#6

i was trying not to blog till this wknd but since ying swan and darren asked me to update (refer to tagboard, ying swan's gone mad), i shall obey them and blog.... haha!!! bear in mind that this post is full of whining so u're probably better off not reading it.... and it's really long coz i tend to cramp a lot of things in one post since i have a limit.....

i hate today.... 105 practical test was just a nightmare.. i really wanted to cry.... haha!!! reallyyyy!!! melissa wanted to cry for me as well ok!!! the course outline didn't say anything about fitness level testing procedures.. only said stuff about resistance training exercise and how we must know the correct techniques and know how to demonstrate it to a novice client and explain it in a non-technical manner.... the first part of the test was alright.. had to demonstrate a pulldown.. mel had to do bench press.... our demonstration and explanations was good... but we stuffed up in the amount of reps that shld be done for muscular endurace coz it was in the THEORY NOTES.. this is a PRACTICAL TEST..... the outline stated "you will be asked several questions which will be related to what you have done in practical classes"..... urghh!!!

then second part, she had to deal with the medicine ball... she was lucky coz before that, someone had the same question and told us what she said and she got it right... as for me..... i got asked to explain the whole testing procedure of an aerobic fitness testing using the stationary bike and it has to be in a non-technical manner so a novice would understand me......*starts cursing the lecturer coz she didn't mention anything about that in the course outline for the practical test* it memang stated "this piece of assessment will require you to instruct a novice client through a pre-determined number of RESISTANCE TRAINING EXERCISES".... how can she ask stuff that wasn't mentioned in the outline? if she want to ask those kinda stuff, at least mention it in the outline so we would have an idea of what we should know.... so unfair!!!! 10% gone just like that for me.... *sigh* i need to do well in my assignment.. 15%.. due on friday...late night for me tmrw night....

after the practical test, continued with the current lab.. learnt about plyometric exercises.. no weights involved.. it's quite tiring but fun...cld hv much more fun if it weren't for the major screw up in the practical test.....my body is aching AGAIN! just recovered frm the wknd and now..bluekk.... tmrw hv netball from 4-5.... and maybe 5-6 if no one using the court... at least tmrw will be a better day.... it better be!!!!! hope i don't screw up in my 5% lab quiz.. every % is PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSSS.... i'm so sleepy now.. but need to study for it.. stayed up till 2am last night writing a stupid psych essay that's worth 10%.... eleanor stayed till 2.30 so she's worst than me... we were both multi-tasking.. msn-ing while writing the stupid essay..

the whole essay is stupid... i only like my first paragraph... title of essay: What is a mentally healthy person?

In the cartoon Tarzan, he swings from trees to trees, walks with both his hands and feet, is he mentally healthy? Yes. But what if you see someone right now, swinging from trees to trees along Symonds St, would he be considered as mentally healthy? No. To determine whether a person is mentally healthy, we must look in both their overall emotional and psychological condition. Occasionally a mentally healthy person may display characteristics of a mentally unstable person such as depression but yet they are still considered to be mentally healthy. To me, a mentally healthy person is someone who’s happy, lives a good life and pleasant to be around with.

Like my opening sentence?? TARZAN!! probably get marked down from it but i need to entertain myself marr.... heeheee..syiok sendiri again...

i've only got 4 more post left.. i've got 4 papers to sit...

8th june- biosci 107
9th june- sportsci 105
17th june- sportsci 103
23rd june- psych 108

hmmnn.... so maybe one post before the exams, one post on the 9th of june, one post on the 17the of june, one post on the 23rd...wahh!! me and my perfect *ahem* planning skills...

ahhh!! i feel so much better after blogging...congrats if u manage to read up till here!!!

Shermayne's Theory:
"If you had a bad day, don't go singing a sad song just to turn it around. Coz u'll make other ppl's day bad coz u'll probably suck. Just keep smiling. The next day will be better." This is yet to be proven...haha!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your week!!!!!!

My blog is too wordy these days... here you go...

teeeheeee!!!! so innocent!!!

happy birthday yi wen!

#5 (halfway thru my limit of 10 posts!)

ehe.. yingswan just made me realized i would be playing netball 4 days in a row if i go for netball practice tmrw. Friday-Monday!! kinda crazy, should be studying instead. but playing is so much more fun than studying.. DOH!!!! body is kinda aching, even my butt is aching-very stiff...haha! after 2mrw, will hv 3 days rest before the next practice...heehee!!

I think I better start being a loner and go to library instead of hanging out in my one hour break every monday, tues,thurs and fri. just two more weeks!! two more weeks of hardwork!! followed by 3 weeks of shitting out all the information that i crammed in my poor lil brain. I can do it!! I have to!!! Go shermayne GO!! You can do it!! bluekk, cheering for myself, syiok sendiri.... haha!!

learnt to play touch today. more like just throwing the ball. it's quite fun actually. don't need to worry bout any stepping and u can just run with the ball. Hug the ball! hug the ball!! haha!! i'm still having my ball phobia for volleyball. still dodging it instead of trying to save it. bluekk!!! i'm such a coward. afraid to get injuries that's why. i never injured myself in my whole life and i don't want that to happen. just those occassional bruises, never ever sprained anything, dislocated anything. wait.. i actually injured myself A LOT when i was really young. but that was before playing sports.

had stitches on my forehead coz i bang into a wall when i was really young, twisted my wrist coz i fell frm monkey bar, twisted my arm coz my cousin was trying to feed me holding my hand and i tried to run away, got slammed on my index finger by a door....

that's it.. well, it's enough for me! don't want anything more to happen to me. i guess that's why i chose swimming. it's the safest sport. u can't really hurt urself. ok lar.. i did bang my head a couple of times on the wall frm swimming backstroke but that's it. as for taekwondo, well, all i get was bruises, that's it... no injury that would stop me from doing anything.

that's all for now.. smile and have a great week and happy studying!!! happy birthday to yi wen!!!!

what a day!

#4

2 more weeks till exams, not liking it at all. if only i can skip the whole month of june. i wld be darn happy... anyhuuzzzz.......

Dear Diary,

friday:
ooo! this was yesterday... super eventful i tell u....frm tamaki campus, walked to mcd's with melissa for mc.nuggets...then on the way back, dropped by at kfc to get popcorn chicken.. man we were really pigs!! after that, had psych..... it was so funny in there..thank goodness i decided not to wag it... couldn't stop laughing most of the time.... we were just making jokes at what the lecturer says.. turned it into dirty jokes.. lolxx!! man we were so high!!! guess it was the chicken ay!!

after that, went to library to print out some questionnaire required for the 105 assignment.. at least can say i've started.... it's kinda hard to find norms for a touch player and to write an exercise programme for a touch player when i haven't played touch in my whole life.. how am i suppose to know what freaking muscles wld be used?? damn mel! y do u hv to play touch? haha..she must be cursing me why i hv to choose netball coz she can't find norms fr mine as well...heeahahahaha.... after the photocopying, rushed to the city coz had to pick audrey, yean and henry up to go windmill road for netball... haha!! so rajin right? i was thinking to myself, it better pay off on saturday man!! wld be so gutted if i kept on missing shots on saturday.... practiced till 4.30.. me and yean one team, audrey and henry one team.. we lost 6 to 10.. not bad larr ok.. we are both shorter than them...hahaha!! excuses excuses.... audrey's bf came for a lil while to give us some tips as well on how to defend them....was really good... that's why can get 6 larr..if not i think it'll be 0-10...haha!! left at 4.30 coz henry had to rush home...so three of us went to queen st to have juice..yummy!! parked at the free parking behind the engineering building.. went over the curb...oops!!! my bad!!! but yea, got to find a parking there.. then there was this dude that couldn't start his car so we helped him....

anyhuuuzzz..juice was real good..very refreshing...had a berry sublime this time.. so yumm i tell u!!!! after that, yean and i walked back to the uni to meet yingswan then only go to the car...audrey went home after juice.... when we walked back to the car, i started the car and start moving it lar..duh!! then yean was like:"is ur car meant to sound like this?".... it sounded kinda weird to me also.... so i went down and check............. OH NO!!!! front tyre punctured!! aiyooo..... flat to the ground...far out!!!! i got into a panic mode...hw can this happen?? everything today was going so well.. now i hv to face a flat tyre....ishhhh!! so yea, got out the spare tyre and tried to change it... i'm basically hopeless..nv change a flat tyre in my whole life.. thank goodness yean was there.... i was just walking around the car and OMG!!!!!!! the back tyre was also flat!!!! shit man!!!! i felt sooooo hopeless...i dun hv two freaking spare tyres man! yean started calling here and there to get help..... as for me, my brother didn't answer his freaking phone, parents also didn't answer their phone, house phone no one picked up..urghh!!! i was like...man!! this sucks SO much... spoil my day only... thank goodness her friend has the same kind of car so managed to get another spare tyre.. but he had to drive all the way frm meadowlands.... so thankful! we were there for almost two hours... luckily it wasn't freezing....went to wellesley student apartment after that to hang arnd puili's place....when i was driving there, it just felt so weird...coz the spare tyres are smaller.... and yea, guess i'm still in shock.. not like i got into any accident but i was just so piss at myself for going over the curb.. i think that was the cause of it... it must be!! orelse how can i get flat tyres just like that? at puili's place, my mind still wasn't at ease.. was just thinking abt the ride home the next day... hv to drive on the motorway with that car alone!!!! what if something happen to me? ohh, also had to give ppl rides to laserstrike later on... decided to call my brother nd see if he's still at uni.. and he was!! he was still at ccm so i got him to change car with me.. got the odyssey frm him... he had a few friends with him so if anything happen, he wld be fine.. hehehe.... thanks koko!!! the next challenge was to parallel park the odyssey.. yingswan came down with me to help me...hahaha!!! thank ying swan! i suck at parallel parking.. and odyssey is just huge.. to me larr.... felt a bit better by having the odyssey instead of the mirage... no need to worry abt the ride to laserstrike or the ride home the next day.... at 10, went for laserstrike...filled the car up to the max... 7 ppl.. i was driving so slow..guess i was still in shock abt the whole tyre thing..i'm traumatised!! haha!! not that dramatic larrr....well, everyone got there in one piece...so i guess it was alright....

didn't really have the mood to go and play at first but the girls were all like so hyped up wanting to beat the guys and started strategizing.. so i just join in.. and it got me all hyped up as well...hehehe... so yea....i had fun in the end.... but at the back of my mind, i was still thinking abt the annoying tyres... coz i know i will have to go to the tyre shop during the week and get it change or repair...and mom and dad will definitely start lecturing me to go driver slower next time, don't go over anymore curbs bla bla bla coz it will spoil the alignment of the car as well..bla bla bla... yea, those thoughts were there the whole night....but it didn't stop me frm having fun lar..... first two round, we lost....3rd round, the girls won.... so happy!!! then the 4th round, decided to split up and play with no strategy.....ehehehe...it was fun....and won as well.. haha!

went back arnd one something.. meant to stay a night at yingswan's but i really didn't hv the mood to drive all the way to northshore.... thank goodness puili let us crash at her place for the night...felt kinda bad coz it was so last minute and well, she can't really say no right?

slept at 3...freezing my arse off the whole night coz the window was open and the sleeping bag was quite thin...woke up at 7.45 to drive my car to the engineering place again to park...ying swan went with me. frm there, we walked to queen st and had mcd breakfast....i hd a kiwi big breakfast.. tummy was all satisfied and happy after that... bought breakfast for puili, suping and celest coz felt bad for crashing at their place.... that's the least we could do to show our appreciation... thanksss!!!!!

went to rec centre at 12.. time to see if all those practices helped.... it better!!! not just coz of self satisfaction but also coz i don't want to make it feel as if i have wasted audrey's time.. all the time she spent for giving me extra practices during the weekdays... so how did it go? well, my shooting improved for sure (so perasan, but i really think it did! can't be too confident... maybe i was just lucky today again.. maybe it was the mcd's breakfast) but i still can't do the catch-the -ball-nd-spread-legs-wide stunt (action name created by yingswan...hahahaha!!!) audrey was playing GA for the opposing team and i kept on see her doing it.... i guess part of me didn't dare to do it coz i was afraid i will be so un-coordinated and end up in a really awkward position instead...haha! honest!! i'm a real gumbie.. super un-coordinated...

ok larr.. i think i shall stop here.... i cld go on and tell u the rest of my day but nahh... u've had enough boredom.... tmrw got netball again... hehe...monday going to go practice with audrey and yean again....but before that i've to go see if i can fix the tyres after psych at 1.30...shld be able to make it back to city in time...5-6....

happy anniversary and happy early mother's day!

Happy Anniversary Papa and Mummy!!

going for japanese tonight for their anniversary dinner.. and just so you know, YES, my brother and I get to tag along! Well, they always take us out during their anniversary anyway.. we celebrate it as a whole family. kinda weird i suppose coz usually anniversary is meant to be just husband and wife. I guess they just love us too much!! i love you too mum nd dad!!! u see, without them, i wouldn't have existed!! both of them are equally important. i wouldn't want a different dad nor would i want a different mom. if either one is different, i would look different, my brother will look different or i might end up not having a brother!!! i remembered when we were really young, we used to write happy annniversary cards to them. it used to go something like this:

Happy Anniversary Papa and Mummy!! Thanks for being the greatest mummy and daddy in the whole wide world. We love you very very very very x100000000000000 much. Thanks for taking care of us and scolding us when we are naughty. Love, Khay Shern and Sher Mayne.

heeheee.. i think to my brother and i, their anniversary is like Parent's Day. ha-ha!

And yea.. they have two anniversaries a year! haha!! i guess it's just another better reason to go out and celebrate. the other one is february the 4th. the feb one is the day they registered. today is the day where they have those big wedding ceremony thingy. quite far apart i reckon... feb-may.. hmmnn..ohh wellzz, my family's special:)

I'm going to wish my mum Happy Early Mother's Day today!!! Won't have time to blog on sunday. Will be out from 10-5. blehhh!!! Feel kinda bad but i'm still going to wake up early and make her mother's day breakfast. probably wake up at 8am and have breakfast at 9.

What's on the menu?

first week back and i'm happy..

#2

first week back after the easter break.... it's been pretty good apart frm the crashing of my laptop... well, it's all good now... installed everything back all by myself!!! well, a wee bit help from my brother.... felt so bad disturbing him coz he was playing his games...lolxx!! took a long time figuring out why my laptop cldnt detect the usb hardware... i mean, i downloaded some sort of thingy called usbehsci.sys or smth like that so the usb can be detected...but still cannot... restart my computer like so many times but still can't be detected.... got kinda pissed off.. then i tried once more, unplugging the usb then restart, then plug it back.. then voila!!! man!!! that simple...urgh!! felt so dumb!!! now i know.. now i know.... hehehe....

so that's one good thing.. my laptop is all sweeeettt!!! gna format it again once i downloaded all the songs i want and my brother want.. another good thing is that i have tamaki friends to eat lunch with and hang out when there's no lessons now... we fooled arnd, studied for our anatomy test together, wagged exercise presciption lecture just to get an extra hour of study..wow! first time wagging.. felt so bad.. but i wld have just lost 7 marks just like that if it weren't for that extra hour of study....on the bus, not sitting alone anymore.... and this grp is just huge... so when one person is absent, there wld still be others to talk to.. so it's all good.....eleanor even asked me to go to medschool day before the test to study anatomy together.. we did 3 hrs of study straight... and for the first time in uni, i laughed till i hd a tummy ache.. haven't had that for ages!!! felt so happy.. guess my uni life was just miserable all this while apart from the wknds.. i was just looking forward to wknds...now, i can look forward to both.. if this coming week is good as well, then it means i'm all sweet with my social life... hehe.... i sound like a loser wanting friends...gosh!

another good thing is that i'm not shopping anymore!! don't really have the time to shop during wknds and thus, don't even think about it! wknds is just filled with sports which makes me happy and not guilty...and umsa ppl are just so friendly.... that 6 bucks of petrol to travel to uni and back is worth it.... it makes me feel that i did not waste my weekend.. tho i didn't get much work done this wknd.. hey, i had to fix my laptop ok! i'll do work next wknd... hehehe...

right now, i feel a bit guilty for not studying(i'll study later to get rid of the guilt). but overall, i feel really lucky to hv this super happy feeling... screw u ppl who thinks once u get a bf/gf, u have everything in the world.... whatever!! they're not that great.. that's what i think.. what am i saying? i nvr had one... but bluekkkk...shermayne's always right.. haha!!

i mean, maybe u can feel the happiest when u're with them but u'll feel the saddest when things don't work out.. whereas the presence of friends will always make u happy all the time... and when u lose one, u still hv heaps!!!! u might be sad, but not the saddest! haha!! i rmbr i said when i'm 18, then only i'll start looking for one... when i was young, mum always tell me i can only get into a relationship when i get into uni.. hmmn. i've been listening to her all the while..... bluekk.. right now, i'm not even thinking of getting one yet... not even looking..haha!!! sorry peiyun, i dun wna go fishing...lolxx!!!! to me, prince charming will come one day... he might just be on his way but got sesated or decided to stop and enjoy the scenery and take the scenic route. not shortcut... haha!!!

i know most ppl wont' agee with my last two paragraphs... but hey, that's just the way i think about this.... sorry if i offended anyone of u.. didn't mean to... have a great week ahead!!!

all gone... so sad....

#1

i was actually waiting till the end of this week to blog so i will have more stuff to say but well, screw that!! i'm so..... i dno...angry? sad? i dno.... i think more like sad.. the kind of sad when u lose something that have a sentimental value and u will never get it back....FOREVER!!!!! *sob* here's how it goes...

this evening after my shower, i decided to go check my emails before i study. turned on my laptop, everything was working fine. was signing onto msn and then suddenly, the power just turned off. well, i guess it was coz i tripped over the wire and the plug to the power got disconnected. no harm done, just have to turn the the power back on and i'm good to go. BUT... NO! when i turned it back on, it came to a screen saying that my files have been damaged or smth like that larrr... lots of words that's all i know. so i asked my brother to help me. he tried everything and said i have no choice, need to format my computer. the moment i heard FORMAT.. i was like..... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all my files gone!! i didn't back them up and he tried to recover them but couldn't coz couldn't even get windows xp to load. we tried REPAIR windows but also cannot. so, no choice but to format my computer. how can this happen? virus? don't think so coz i didn't download anything apart from team america from bittorrent and that was like a week ago. and there wasn't any annoying pop ups or anything weird going on. haihhh...so sad.... all my files.. gone!!

my music files- it's ok larr. .i can download them again from limewire, most likely to get virus but can back the files up and format the comp again.
tv series LOST and movies- can get them from shiun, still having his harddrive with me, hehe..
so it's ok.
book-marked sites- nvm larr.. can slowly search for them again
cambridge past papers where some of my money comes from there by printing them and selling them- ermm.. i shall find another way to get money.. i think i still hv the cd anyway.. hiding somewhere

ok, all those i'm fine with them being gone. i will have to download windows media player, divx player, real player, msn msgr and all those again but i'm used to doing that, so i'm fine with that lar....

now, here's the part where i'm sad.....

all my past assignments, essays written when i was in macleans.. all gone!! ok, u might be thinking, why the heck do i keep them? such a weirdo.. ok i am a weirdo but well, for memories sake.. u know, it's quite funny reading them over again... there was my 4th form science fair project and i find it really cute. plus i took a lot of time writting my essays, especially the english essays in 6th form. all the satire writings. ok larr.. not that bad i suppose, coz i have them somewhere in my blog i think. but i don't think i have the one i wrote on romance publish anywhere. it's quite dodgy but very funny. that essay made the whole class laughed and even the teacher. and i threw away the copy that i printed out. haihhhh....

now, here's the part where i'm really really sad, the kind of sad that i explained earlier on....
all my photos are gone!!! ALL of them!! i did not back them up... i have the ball photos on yahoo so i guess i can live with that eventho they're small... but but... all the family photos that we took since 2002 when we came to nz are gone!! all the travelling photos... all gone!!! i guess we can start going back to all those places again and take photos but.. it's different... *sigh* all the funny poses the whole family did, all the lovely brother and sister photos, mum and dad photos.... all gone... *hits self on head for deleting them from the harddrive*... what i have left wld be those in my geocities website... tiny tiny ones.... and then there's the childhood photos... that's not too bad i suppose coz i took them from the video my dad recorded when we were young and i still have the cd.. video better than pictures so that's alright.

then there's the college photos.. all the funny photos i took during the last term at macleans... we were just taking as much as we can coz it's our last year of college life and want to remember it. all the crazy poses we did and made ourselves looked psycho. those were photos that i treasured a lot. those were the photos where in 10 yrs time u look back at them and will just start cracking up. ok, i have a few of them in my msn space but they are small, i want the original huge ones!!!! omg!! and then there's the photos from my 18th bday!! those are gone too!!! and the photos i took during my trips back in msia....man!! those are precious!!!! the pictures i took during climbing mt.k! those are gone too!!!! NO!!! nvm lar.. that one can go climb again and take again..hehe... but but. 18th bday!!! i won't be 18 anymore.... bugger!!

and then there's the folder where all my files on my geocities website are stored at... i haven't been updating that website for ages...2 yrs already perhaps but every single time i format my computer, i always back them up as well tho i kno i won't touch them anymore....never have the heart to delete them.. guess it's coz it's like what kept me occupied during my first 2 yrs in nz where i'm seriously bored and hated nz so much!

well, i guess i have to learn to let go.. all i have now would just be memories in my head... not from photos anymore... at least not all is lost.. i still have them on my msn space, some at yahoo, some at geocities....it's not the best but i'm thankful that i still have some of them. i suppose sooner or later this day will come, the day where everything in ur precious laptop just can't be retrieved... happened to so many ppl i know, never thought it wld happen to me... and now i'm making such a big deal... typing such a long post.

maybe this year calls for some changes eh? since i leave college, i also have to leave those photos behind i suppose.... start a new chapter, a new collection... i'm still young, got so many more great events to capture... i learnt my lesson... at the end of every year, i shall burn the photos and files into a cd... that way, if this ever happened again, i'm all good!!!

ok, time to study for my practical test.. it's tmrw!! that was another reason why i planned not to blog till end of this week... so i won't waste time... my laptop really cannot use till end of this week also.. hehehe.. need to install so many programmes... grrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Smile and Be Happy!
Have a Great Week!!!
BYE!!!!!

weird dream

(seriously, don't read this post, u won't find it interesting and it's super long, i blabber too much)

had a really weird and scary dream this morning... seemed so real but when i woke up, the location and everything was just weird and impossible.... why this morning? well, woke up at 8 something after a really nice dream then slept back again since netball was cancelled... wanted to go back to the same dream(i was talking to a hot guy man!) but no!!! went into a weird, nice and later.... a scary one....

i was at this hotel (dno what hotel larr) and they had this really nice swimming pool but it's weird coz it's really huge and really deep.. deep like the one in ksas(msia) .... usually weird shaped hotel swimming pools aren't deep.. but this was really deep.... so syok!!! so i jumped in and then i realized i was still having my bag on me and my phone was inside!!! then it was like as if i didn't care about the phone.. i just took the bag off and chuck it to the pool side....

then yea, was playing with matt and then i pulled him all the way to the bottom of the pool and then somehow i accidentally hit his head on the floor and he became unconscious!! omg!! and then so funny, i tried to wake him up when i was still under the pool and then i was like.. wake up wake up!!! come to think about it, how can i talk under the pool and how is it possible that i was able to hold my breath for that long? anyway, i tried to pull him up to the surface.. but then he was so heavy...matt is heavy? lolxx!!! then now come to think about it, he wld just float up what.... so yea, i carried him and slowly climbed the stairs on the side of the pool.. stupid lar!!! the stairs at the ksas pool is so short only.. haha!! where got go till the very bottom!! haha!!! so yea, halfway up he woke up! apparently he was just faking it.... and then we started kicking each other and wrestling underwater...

anyway, we got all the way up and guess what??? mr.ang was there!!!! aiyooo!!! what dream is this man?? hahahaha!! then mr.ang was like.... if you all don't want to train properly, pack ur bags and go home!! and then yiwen nd shaleeni came running to us and said, yayy!! water polo time!!! omg! so random!! and then we played water polo!!! and then in the game there were ppl from macleans as well!!! like all the ppl that i played water polo with last yr at school..they were all there... playing with the ksas swimmers and we knew each other and stuff.... it was so fun nd filled with laughters....

then after the game, i got out and realized my phone was really flimsy.. the part where u flip the phone open was like just danggling there.... i was like.. omg omg!!! and then matt and yiwen came and look at it and the whole thing just got dismantled!!! the numbers and everything just fell to the ground..... then matt was like, nvm, can fix one.. i fix before... wtf?? then he took out an instruction book and started fixing the phone... where got instructions on how to fix back a dismantled phone? maybe got such thing but i dno lar....but tak jadi still.... then my laptop was there as well.... and it was also really flimsy and the screen was just blank.. when u turn it on, it's just a screen of white light... and then couldn't really keep the laptop open.. it kept on falling down..... i was like.. ohhh no!!! how can? both my phone and laptop rosak!!! i was so sad.... so so sad..... then............



ding dong!! i woke up.. got a text from siewaun.. lolx!! first thing was... yayy! it was just a dream and my phone is still working.. and my laptop on my table is fine!!!!! i was so happy!!!! but the dream about being in ksas was just so nice.... now i kinda miss the pool and the good times and friends there.... ok, i even miss the training days and mr.ang's scolding... i hvnt had a dream about being in ksas for a very long time.. actually the whole of last year i never dream about that.. when i first came to nz, i always dreamt that i was training in ksas but schooling in nz.. haha!! but this morning, i dreamt about that suddenly... but the phone and laptop was the main point of the dream lar...i was seriously so sad.. coz both also very new.... wow!! just realized that i've been away from the pool for so long... my last swim was in february 12th... didn't go lloyd elsmore this year to just go for a swim...maybe that's why i dreamt about being in a pool? i dno.... but lloyd elsmore is boring nd shallow... what makes swimming fun is the friends and sometimes, the exhaustion is fun.... if just swim leisurely, it's quite boring.... unless the pool is real deep and then u hold ur breath and go all the way down and try to touch the floor!! heeeheee.....
