Yes, the title refers to lim bei me. I always feel i have affinity for techno music. Okay, tell me about Sparks disco during our JC days, which we always wished that we would grow up ASAP into a full grown adult. Adulthood looks so cool, with drinks and all. Trust me, we (I) totally regret the thoughts. We (I) want to remain young forever now that we are into adulthood.
Anyway, these days, i am so into techno music. Ok lah, partly due to the frequent party which sometimes mix the songs, but techno music really get me into the mood ( i mean my butt shaking mode). Just ask my friends lor. And just go to youtube and search any remix of any single shit songs, you will be able to find techno remixes.
Yes, in case you are wondering, i am listening to techno on my Itunes as i type this entry. :)
The song is called Automatik. Even the song title is so Ah Lian-ish. -_-

March
My post has nothing to do with the title. Merely put it because i dunno what else to put!
What have i done? Went to Dragonfly to support our primary school friend, singer there leh. I have a singer as a friend,man! so happening!! *smug look
Before that, went for a dinner with my primary school friend who brought her friend along. She asked me what am i working as. I made her make a guess.
"Errr...u work in the media, journalist or reporter or something?" Ok, something new. FYI, my ang moh is cui to the max. I think i will excel as a reporter for a Hokkien media. Most people will think that i am in the IT or engineer line because i have THE LOOK. Dunno what look lah, just the sterotype of an engineer or IT geek lor. Do i look geeky?pui.i think look small hot btw. :)
On a totally random note, i think i am getting more witty these days. Not that i am a come- gong kia last time, i have the ability to tickle people to roll onto the floor in laughters. Or people will just have the urge to smack my forehead. Just ask my lovely friends.

New gear!
Got my tennis bag! So happy. I am one step closer to looking good and playing good! Haha
Yes, i bought a new Head racket as well. A heavier one which i can control the balls better with better strength. :)

Ouch!
This was how my ankle looked like after i sprained it during the run. :(
Damn pain. See the bruises at the feet. Yikes!
At the Chinese Physician, waiting to be slaughtered
leg under microwave heat. Not sure if it helped but thought the treatment was sort of special.
Bang Zhang leg in Crocs. I know it looks silly!

Men's Health Urbanathlon
Did Men's Health Urbanathlon yesterday. The most expensive run i have done. 138 in total. But joined because 8 obstacles were incorporated into the 12.5km route.Basically like army's SOC. Enjoyed myself very much, the obstacles were not that tough, but the toughest was the flights of stairs up and down Fort Canning.
But during the run...i actually tripped over the tyres which are the obstacles and twisted my ankle. Pui!
Nevertheless, completed the race and got my finisher medal!:))
But paying the price by having a swollen feet which i will need to rest for a couple of weeks. :(
Running shoes soaked in mud.
All for the finisher medal :)
Felt damn cock having the pack of ice around my ankle, with water dripping along the way.
A nice event nevertheless. Will be back next year, with a better timing!

Xmas, New year done..CNY
So Xmas and New year are officially, everyone is officially back to their office seat, back in the rat race, or staring at our computer as well.
But anyway, it also means that Chinese New year is coming! Ok, pardon my excitement. I am actually not that that excited, but small excited. Not bcos i can use the opportunity to munch on those snacks. No special liking for that, give me rice anytime. Not bcos i can look forward to red packets, in fact, i spend more than i receive these days.
Maybe....bcos i get to hear those funny,i-also-know-how-to-sing new year songs. Maybe i get to use the opportunity to meet friends, as a form of gathering.
2010 is a time to start afresh as well :)

Hei Bai Wu Chang
yes. my hands of two colours, black and white. Results of playing too much tennis at 10am - 12noon. Already applied sunblock still couldn't prevent sun burnt.
Ouch my face hurts as well :(
2010
2009 ended and 2010 has arrived. To sum up, 2009 wasn't that bad a year, was ok for the first 10 1/2 months but hit the wall for the remaining 2009. Hopefully 2010 will be better, or rather my duty to make it a good one.
As much as a lot of things are beyond my control, i need to focus on myself, just doing my duty as a human being, hopefully a better one.
As much as people hate making resolutions, i prefer to put down things i want to achieve this coming year.
1) Work harder. Not that i wasn't working hard in 2009 but i think i can put in more and aim to contribute more to my company
2) Pass driving. Was never a priority of mine in the past but this year i probably will need to push it up my priority list.
3) Travel to at least 1 new place. Need something new to excite me, at least to let me know that i still have things to look forward to. Looking back to 2009, i went to new places like Beijing, Macau, Hong Kong, Guangzhou Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo. Yet to decide which new place will i land my feet on this year but certainly one of my to do list.
4) Take up 1 new sport. Again something to keep me occupied and excited
5) Do a marathon. 2009 was the year where i started to get serious on running. All started in May where i did the PAssion run to keep fit and train for fitness and never look back. The highlight was AHM where i did 21km. So naturally this year need to aim for more. Earliest would be in May for Adidas' Sundown.
That will do for now i guess....good luck to me :))

Boxing Day
How's everyone's boxing day?
The gifts that i received for xmas this year. Thanks everyone who took the effort to get me a present. Not important what did i received but just good enough to know i occupy a little space in my friends' heart. :)
Have you received the present that u really needed? Concern, friendship or pure happiness in general? :)
Yes. U see that sweet little thing My Melody. She is sitting nicely on top of my tv box. haha
Spent morning playing tennis as usual. Just some cam whoring before play started.
As usual, my legs look nicer than my face :(

Weekends
3rd weekends without going to partying and i am still feeling good. Doesn't feel the nagging feeling to joining friends and missing the music or drinks. Maybe i really have progressed to a stage that weekends is beyond crazy nights out. A quiet night with mags and dramas will do the trick as well.
Social life became a tad smaller and i miss my friends as well, but maybe cutting down a bit is good as well. No problem.
Dun worry, partying will still be a part of my life, just not as big as before i guess :)

Exam, cut hair
Today was my CFA Level 1 exam. Morning paper was ok, but afternoon paper was killer. Basically questions were tough, with a lot of complex calculations, so not enough time to do. So chances of passing is not high.
Spent the last 3 days mugging all the notes, still not enough. Just reminds me of my uni days, which is kind of nice as well. Just worry about the grades, formulas and bitching with friends about the questions and slapping forehead when we realise our answers were wrong.
That aside, relieved that paper is over and i get on with my life for a while.
So the first thing i did was.......
to snip off my quite-long-but-that-long hair

Just when you thought stock market is crazy......
In my line of work, i often encounter crazy things. Countries competing for the tallest building in the world, competing to build the world's biggest mall or u see the share price of a totally insolvent company rising right before your eyes. Crazy, yes it is. Not the craziest things that has happened, i only came to realisation recently.
Humans are more irrational. Fighting over a seat, or arguing over someone who is totally not relevant in our life (and i am not even talking about fighting over for a boyfriend). Or getting angry over some small actions.
From how i see it, it is just how we perceive things. A told B that he(A) is using a 2G Ifone but B insisted that A is actually using 3GS Ifone and pointed out harshly that the whole world is using 3GS Ifone except A. Worse of all, A doesn't believe that 3GS now comes with wifi function and B tells A that as well. Both get upset end of the day. (Note that i am not stating my stand whether it is 2G or 3GS)
Confusing? yeah, i reckon. End of the day, does it matter the fone is 2G or 3GS? Maybe it does, why do we have to force A or B to accept each other's reasoning?
It is very easy to wallow in anger or self pity. U can wallow in self pity or anger that your mobile operator is not upgrading you to a new 3GS or friends get upset over things you dun agree with.
You can think you are the world's saddest person on earth because things are against you and most likely you are angry with yourself, mobile operator and perhaps the whole world as well.
Dun think it needs to be the case. There are times when i feel shit as well, most pathetic person surviving. Am i exactly that? Not so.
I just think of the old auntie who collects cardboards or cans at my estate. or anyone who struggles with life on a daily basis. I actually feel that these guys are so much stronger than me mentally, giving me absolutely no right to feel pissed about the world, or people in general.
Are these guys angry that circumstances are against them or wish they are living in comfortable environment? i am sure some of them would be, but they never give up or hang up the boots. They are doing what they can to survive or for a better life.
Let's just be glad that we have a healthy body, a job that pays relatively well and we are not living from day to day. We just lack the courage to step back and look at the whole situation with a sense of gratitude and a sense of aloof perhaps. Our problem or argument will look so minute in retrospective.

Weekend
Weekend came and left. Didn't had a long weekend like many of my friends did. Not that i mind it that much. Work pretty much keeps me alive.
What have i done this weekend?
Work
Celebrated Ray's birthday
Mugged CFA
Attended friend's wedding lunch
Tennis on Sat evening
I totally heart evening tennis session. Been quite a while since i last played in the evening (last time was in my uni days)
I prefer playing in the morning, with the hot sun burning me makes the play more exciting. But evening play is good as well..cool weather followed with a hearty late dinner at 1030pm then sleep!
I love the new weekend lifestyle. A new weekend for a new me :)

Weekend
Noticed that my social life is proportional to the frequency of blog entry. I have been updating this blog often these days says very much about my interaction with friends and party.
Not that it matters to me. Last saturday was my extended family BBQ. Exhausted as it was, i glad we did it. It rained at 9+ but we managed to get 60% of the food cooked and stayed around to chit chat. :)
I chose to upload this ugly picture of mine. No other fotos.
Sunday was my grandma's birthday dinner. Just a simple dinner and i totally hug it. After all the crazy things outside, i just want to sit down and have a dinner.
Time to have a different kind of weekend for a new lifestyle. :)

Real Run (6 Nov 2009)
Did New Balance Real Run . 15km in 1h 36mins. Sort of like my personal best. :) *cheers
This run is pretty interesting and tough. Started with a 3km run on rough terrain. Those soil pavement in the middle of the field, then a stretch of maybe 9km on road and then another 1 or 2km on beach sand, back to road to finishing line. So 3 types of terrain in a single run.
Quite a good experience.
Pictures.
Changi Exhibition Center...nice view of the sea!
Another view
A lot of people one lor!
There u see a cockster (me) while my friend snapped at the start/finish line.

Racquet gone as well......
That's how my Yonex tennis racquet looks like this morning's tennis. I just restrung like 4 months ago, and i have send it to the hospital again. It could mean two things;
1) my skills have got so good that i am hitting harder and with top spin that the strings broke
2) i dunno how to play.
i think i belong to 1) :))
Anyway, luckily my coach had an extra racquet so i didn't had to stop the session. And i realised that i should move on to a heavier racquet, i have more control and could hit harder with a heavier racquet. Ok, time to shop for a new racquet :))
Mood today is slightly better, maybe because of the 2 hr tennis session. It is the only avenue which i can put everything behind me and focus, beside work i think. Goodness, a pathetic soul i am
