Getting shirt today!!!

Hey there... its Ryan's blogging session again... lolx... paiseh on the lame start.... cannot really think of any other way to start liao... lolx... been enjoying the last couple of days, either work or band, been having lots of laugh and fun for the past few days.

Yesterday, after work, had a couple of beer at the newly opened pub ("chilled") juz down the road from the office with my boss and colleages, and by the time i return it about 730pm, so i grab my bag and rushed for band... Reached there about 815, played a couple of songs... Laoshi gave quite alot of positive feedback on flute section... (so happy...), well done guys!!! proud of u all... the band haven done very badly as well... every section is working very hard for the trip, so proud of them as well... (heez...i sound like a proud parent dun i? *grinz...) Anyway, after band, stayed around for abit longer then usual since they are having a camp, had some dinner, then have a little chit chat with the guys (and gers) and imitating "Ru Hua" which got everyone laughing non stop (including myself)... tinking about it now....its still kinda farnie...=P The one that have the screw loose now i tink is May, she keep laughing... cannot tahan... and when she laugh, it makes me and the rest of B4 laugh as well, its infectious i guess... heez.... but it was great fun lah...lolx... Then the entire gang went to AMK to get stuff and play pool, along the way is more laughter and fun... Then took the last bus back home after that... while they continued their game of pool... reach home took a bathe... and its was lights out and sweet dreams for me man... super tired...

Fought myself off bed again this morning... took a quick cold bathe to wake myself up and got change, pack my bag for dragon boat later on... and head off for work... So looking forward to dragonboating today.... simply because we are going to get the T shirt today!!! wahahaha... my first offical dragonboat shirt....so exciting... lolx... but judging from the work load today, hmm....think might have to wait one more day and collect it tml then...lolx... if that is the case...might go down for band earlier then....heez.... and maybe go for a dip... provided the pool is open... heez... anyway guess thats it lah... pretty busy at work... cannot write much liao... keep u all updated next week then... cheers

Yesterday was my best every band prac yet... didn't really put in 100% effort... but just tried to "feel" the song as i get along and didn't really pressurized myself too much with the notes and i tink i didn't do too bad honestly...=P Everyone seems to be improving after every practise, either in technic or in tone wise, the band is sounding really good comparing to the past, and i really have to give credit to Laoshi, truely "jiang hai shi lao de la" (aka the older the ginger, the more spicy it gets...=P). After band, was collection of the full payment to the trip (there goes my salary...bye bye salary... lolz...) and briefing on camp starting today (which i most likely won't be staying over as i have to work and dragonboat training for the next couple of days). When home after that, walked to the busstop with carol and may(who could stop laughing the entire way), had loads of fun talking and suaning each other... half the time its me and Carol toking and May would juz do the laughing... Anyway, that was band prac lah, got home had dinner then bathe... after that did abit of weights while watching liu xing hua yuan and then its off to bed...

This morning, had to force myself out of bed actually, was feeling super tired, after a short struggle, finally manage to drag myself out of bed, took a cold shower which really woke me up real good... didn't put on contacts today as i feel my eyes are too tired, won't be good for my eyes... and got dressed and off to work i go... heez... Work, the usual stuff and have conference with group B4 *grinz... talk about shopping trips, what to shop about, sales and all... and of course band also... Oh yah, and then there is the "FILA INCIDENT" haha tink you guy other then those in the conference will be confused what that is... if you really wan to know... just ask Carol, she will tell u about it (hor....carol...*smilez) better not go into too much details on that...if not she is going to kill me... heez.. okok side track le... back to blogging... haven got much to do this morning, will be having meeting with my boss later...(hopefully)... After work will be band prac again, hopefully it will be just as fun as last night... heez... Hmm... what else have i forget to blog??? Guess thats all i have today ba... oh yah...

Its yet another fine thursday...

Woke up this morning without the aid of my alarm clock (aka my handphone), maybe its because i slept earlier last night. Wake up to a bright sunny morning, hope it stays this way...heez...

As usual, had my dragonboat training yesterday after work (or should i say an entire day of slacking in the office), the water was super dirty and particularly muddy because it rained the entire day yesterday and not to mention... rather cold... row out to the open and met the Canadian boat, and they challenge us for a friendly... and since we are going to meet them in the race anyway... so we thought we give it a shot to test our opponent out... when the call for ready, everyone in our boat wasn't and when they shout go, we sort of stumbled abit... and we slowly picked up our pacing and soon we chased up and even overtake their boat by abit.... we maintain the lead till the end of the race... the sea was rather choppy so i was kinda getting quite abit of water on my face... but we still managed to pull it off... got a sense of achievement after that... 2 areas, 1st...they have 2 more paddlers that we have, and 2nd... we are not even in out full strength yet... heez... Anyway....after that we carried on with our routine (start up and pacing) and also able of technic rowing... Strange enough.....didn't really feel much of a strain throughout the practice (except during the race)... when we reach shore and i stood up, that is when i really feel the energy draining out of my body man.... couldn't even walked straight for awhile... heez... When i finally got myself back after a few sec... helped kept the boat back a before taking my bag and helping myself to a couple of cans of 100 plus (refreshing...) and make my way home for dinner... After dinner... its about 9 so i watched soem chinese show on channel U with my mum as i was waiting for WORLD IDOL at 10... heez... About World Idol yesterday... its seems that simon isn't the only judge that that evil.... there is many more across the world, some are worse... i must say... but i still like simon though... heez... And it seems that competition wasn't really that tough as many didn't really perfrom up to the standard (i was expecting) maybe except for Guy Sebestian, he is the only one i feel perform up to the standard to be an Idol, the German guy got the look but haven got the voice man... (or should i say he chose the wrong song i would say...) Anyway...the night ended off with the Polish ger...which i feel sang terribly, and diana degarmo can do many times better then her... it will continue next week on channel 5 @ 10pm, so dun miss it...hehez...free advertising...

Okok...back to blog.... hmm.....this morning has been rather relaxed.... been told of more task to do...(yipee!!!) for the next couple of days.... hopefully can clear them before going overseas....so no burden lah...heez... After work, there is band... and tml is the start of band camp....will be attending it but not staying for it though... too busy i guess... heez... still finding time to go get my sunglasses..haiz... Anyway, lots of things to do but not much time to do it...heez... so kinda like working and hate it as well... like is because i get to meet all these frens, pass time and earn abit of money, but hate is that i haven got much spare time to do my own stuff... lolx... but well life goes on i guess... heez... can't get the best of 2 worlds... Anyway was looking for a shirt to wear this morning, then i dig out from the bottom of my neatly stacked shirts...My Southern Cross International Festival shirt...so cool man... it bring back alot of memories so i wore it... suprisingly, i can still wear it after all this years... i must really have lost abit of weight... coz the shirt used to be abit tight fit last time now its really loose... heez... donno chould be happy or not...lolx.... Anyway....can't wait for band later on.... one more practise means we are a practise closer to the trip...heez....so exciting...=P tink will drop by Doby Ghaut later to get cloth for carol before going band later since its along the way... heez...if not tml bery mafan... Oh yah.... juz now went for early lunch (earlier the usual that is) and when i walked passed the chicken rice store... the auntie actually called me over.... and seeing that there isn't any queue i decided to have that... making me feel more puzzled, why out of so many pple in that passes the shop everyday, the auntie only remembers me? very strange... its freaking me out...ARGH!!!....heez...okok lah....thats all for now... will blog tml again.... CYA!!! *MUACK*

Strange Day!~!~!~

Strang morning today, been having quite anot of people approaching me these few days...especially with member of the opposite gender... wonder is this call "cherry blossoms luck" (tao hua yun in chinese)... hehe...

Anyway it all started yesterday while having lunch with my colleages at Ah Moy market, didn't know what to eat so thought i have chicken rice, walked to the chicken rice store, the auntie looked and me and smile so i smile back... then i looked at the queue and it seem rather long so i decide not to have that and go for my regular dumpling noodles as my stomach was grumbling... Anyway....after finishing our lunch, we were sitting there sipping our tea and having a little chit chat when the chicken rice auntie suddenly walked over asked why didn't i order, so i replied her saying the queue was long so i changed my mind, and she actually apologised to me and ask me to come again before walking away... i was dumbfounded for a moment there and i looked at my colleage and they looked back... then one of them ask if i knew her, and the i say no, in fact it was the first time i met this auntie... then for the rest of the time i became the topic of the day, quite funny when i think of it now... having met this auntie (should be in her late 40's or early 50's) for the first time and she talk to me as though we have known each other for years...Strange...lolx... And that is the first encounter, after work went to band and they the guys this ordeal, and they too laugh at it (thx leh guys...heez)...

Anyway, the person was a teenage ger... and she added me to ask me on how i design my blog... someone i don't know at all, she claim to have got my account from blogger "recent update list" Anyway, i took a look at her current blog (which is not bad) but she wans someting tat look like mine, so i gave her abit of help, i send her a spare template i have and taught her the basics of html, and ask her to figure it out herself... (i mean that is the most i can do....*grinz) Anyway yah... thats wat happened... donno y me when there is so many other pple for her.... haha... still abit confused over it though... Anyway strange lah, first auntie, then teenage ger...haha...wonder whats next...my future gf pehaps...lolx... jk lah... not intending to get one in the near future since i am going to the army soon... Unless love comes looking for me and that is another story lah....heez... Mood slowly better and back to normal liao... juz recieved news about the race in 2 weeks time (finally), will be getting my shirt this weekend (OMG....so exciting...cannot wait man...lolx)... and there is only 3 more training left before the actual things.... really hope we can do well....do come down and help us jia you if free ya...heez... okok enough promotion already... back to blog, been doing pretty much nothing this morning... except surfing the net for some information, chatting and blogging... been quite boring sadly...

Final 4 practise to trip...

Good afternoon everyone!!! its a tuesday another band day... hehe... only realised that i have 4 more practise to go before the trip after looking at the calendar this morning, stressed...

Last night was first sectional session with the Sax, or should i say a masterclass session for May as she was the only one that have turn up for the session... so touched and contented to see that there is still such devoted and willing to learn musician out there. Reach skool about 730pm and she and Zhisheng was the only one in bandroom... started off with some breathing technic and long notes, juz to warm the instrument, after that some tongueing exercise. That took about an hour before actually moving to songs. We started off with Persis (requested by May) and i must say its not and easy song to begin with, anyway we haven cover much of the song yesterday, as we spend quite alot of time on the beginning... (hehe...mainly because i need time to get the timing and notes right...not May's fault...=P) Anyway, spent 1 hr on that song before packing up as it was getting late. though little have been covered, but i have learn lots from this session...heez... Anyway, after packing up, Zhi Sheng made us each a cup of "instant mash potatoe" which tasted really good i must say... heez.... When reach home, bathe, watch abit of tv before knocking out in bed...

Today woke up with the left side of my back feeling very sore (have no idea y, maybe its my slping posture) anyway, got plenty of things to accomplish by today at work... hopefully it can keep me occupied for the rest of the day... haha, after work will be band practise as usual... heez....muz be tinking my life is kinda scheduled right... well....really haven have time to relax..... not till after the races and the trip at least... so currently the 3 this in my life is Work, Band and Dragon Boat... heez... Anyway guess i have nothing much left to blog liao... will be in search of sunglasses soon...(when i have spare time that is...=P) tinking will most likely be getting the adidas one... now is scout for the most affordable place to get it... heez... typical Singaporean lah.. cannot blame...Alright then enjoy the day and will keep u guys updated on my "exciting" life in my blog tml then...heez... Lotsa LOVE, HUGS & KISSES from [B]rabbit!!!

Feeling Blue today?

Its yet another Monday morning....start of a brand new week and one more week closer to the trip and to the races!!!

Saturday dragon boat training wasn't the best training i had, didn't really work myself to the fullest, started off as a stroker (people in the front portion of the boat, usually determines the pacing), wasn't really used to it as i am usually placed in the back as i uses more of the strength, anyway, could keep up with the pace, though occasionally didn't lift the paddle high enough, and splashes water into the boat. The water was particularly cold that day, Maybe because it rained earlier in the day, so i felt quite bad everytime after splashing water in the boat... but any i wasn't the only one doing that, i got my fair share of the cold water as well... haha... Anyway, there was alot of "new bird", and they have difficulty catching up with the pace, my hands we so outstretched that i keep knocking on the back of the guy infront of me... think i left a few scars on his back after that...(heez...hope he didn't mind...) Anyway, dun tink i wan to go into details since it wasn't that enjoyable, after training, have the regular Saturday drinking sessions, had a couple of beer before rushing off to wash up and hurried to City Hall MRT Station to meet May and gang for my sunglasses hunting expedition...heez... When we met up its about a quarter to 7, so we kinda wak about... at city link, was shop hopping as we were practically walking digonally going from one shop to another. And when we finally reach suntec, there was and iora sale taking place, which kinda freak the gers out a little (heez...=P) May managed to get a pair of black pants for band performance, quite nice actually... after that, more window shopping along the way till we reached YES (Your Eyewear Specialist), There were plenty of sunglasses but 2 in particularly that passed the judgement from the "Panel of judges" is an Oakely one and an Adidas one... so have been tinking for awhile which pair i should get as its not a small investment for me...(heez...) and i really want a good and nice looking pair...Anyway, we went to makan at the food court as everyone is on budget terms...heez... After that is about 9 plus and all the shops were either closed or closing, so we made a short trip to carrafour as Sherine need to get some bread back home for her family, so we kinda look around in carrafour and made a fool of myself demostrating how to perform CPR on a stuff toy (no mouth to mouth of course) lolx... was really funny... and really fun too =P After all the crapy fun, we slowly made our way back to the train station to go home, didn't really made alot of progress (for my sunglasses that is), the trip is more of shopping as it seems but i enjoyed it anyway... hehe...nothing like an outing with a good bunch of friends...lolz... Anyway, got to the train station, the train line from novena and toa payoh have been disrupted, and May have to take NEL with us and take a cab from there, its was her first time on NEL, could tell she is really excited for her many facial expression...haha... And that is how the day ends off lah...

Sunday morning was alright, decided not to go for dragon boat training as it was at 930 and i badly needed abit of rest, my dreams of sleeping in was actually broken, as one of my Malay neighbours is having a wedding at the void deck, so it kinda woke me up with all that loud music... Anyway, was really bored at home so when to Hougang gym for a 2 hours workout... alot of pple as it was a Sunday but still manage to complete a decent workout...heez... Afterwhich, got to hougang mall for a little walk with my fren Dennes (who was suppose to join me in gym but felt to inferior because of his size and changed his mind) and had dinner before heading home at about 730, in time to catch Harry Potter... heez...still such a nice show even after watching it many times, (in the movies as well as on DVD), can't wait too catch the lasted edition of it though...was suppose to be today but no one can make it so its cancelled to some other time... The rest of my Sundays is basically watching TV and surfing the net i guess... heez...

As for today, we have a new staff in the company, name is Susan, NTU grad, another Uni grad haiz...lolx... anyway had to set up her computer for her and install all the software for her as well, more fortunate as compared to me, when i first enter the company i have to do all of that myself...haha, but anyway...its done...lolx...erm....working on some paperwork, juz got brief that there might be a big task coming up for the next couple of weeks, meaning will be a rather busy 2 weeks before the trip, hahaha time to take out my stress relieve kit again as i can predict a stressful next couple of weeks liao...hahaha... Anyway, guess better go and finish my work on hand first....before its starts piling up... thats all i have for u guys today, after work will be sectional, heez...good way to destress... anyway....cheers to all and lotsa love to everyone...
