Brewerks Paddle!!!

Once again, its the once a year paddle up to brewerks, get beer and try to find our way back to kallang after... haha. So many years I have been with the team, i believe i have only done this once... pretty sad right, hopefully today will be good, and me being a camera whore, will find means of smuggling my camera to brewarks without getting it wet i suppose.

Yesterday, I went and its was like a war zone man, the place was packed with people, the russling of plastic bags rampaging of the individual are like sounds of cross fire between 2 armies, but in a smaller scale, much smaller. Everyone had to queue to get into the "arena" and at the queue u can acutally see people warming up for a fierce battle ahead, pretty hilarious i must say. Haha, the moment theses people break from the queue, they are like a caged animal released man... you should see the 'vicious' look on some of their faces. When its my turn to get in, i kinda took my time and scout the premises first. Oh just in case you haven't a clue I am talking about, its the Adidas Warehouse Sale. There are not much shoes as compared to past years, variety also reduced, but apparels and caps and all seems to increase. Not too bad deal too lah. Stayed there till near closing. And didn't left empty handed too, haha for $140, I got myself 2 singlet, and 2 pairs of shoes... not a bad deal eh... haha LOVE RETAIL THERAPY, works wonders man... tired but got home satisfied.

Hmm just realise i haven't posted pictures of the race as i promised.... will end today's entires with pictures of the race den... cheers!

Yay!!! Weekend!!!

Finally, its a friday, and what better way to start of the day, when I flipped open the papers, the first thing i saw was a full page labelled "ADIDAS POST SEASON SALE" . Have been wondering when this sale have gone to as it used to be an annual event. But nevertheless was very excited about it, that I started msging all my Shopperholic friends out there (If you didn't recieve my msg, it simply mean 1) I don't have your number, or 2) you dun fall under this cat. )

Will be calling it a day slightly earlier today, have things to settle at the bank before heading down to the sale. Hoping to get some good buys... shopping alone seems pretty sian, but I have no choice as not everyone have the luxury of going off earlier like me. heez.

Apart from that, i suppose i will be working tml morning too before heading for dragonboat I think. Can use as much cash as possible, especially at this time of the year. Okok going to finish up with my work liao... ciaoz.

One more working day to Weekend...

Haha seems like I am practically counting down the days to the weekend man. Not that my job is not fun or anything, just that this week seems longer then any other. Pehaps its just that I have to work for the entire week this week, which have not been a norm, which is causing all this weird reactions to life. Haha guess ORD have really bring me to a relax mode man...

Anyway, I am beginning to wonder if I am being watch, or am I just easily mistaken as someone else. Tuesday, as I was walking along Orchard, and stopping by for an ice cream, some surveyor approached me to do a survey. He claimed he recognised me as he took the same train as me. For the fact that he is a guy and he took notice of me kinda freaked me out. Luckily he was pretty young, still in his early teen, if not i would just run man... haha. Then yesterday, went to this spa house somewhere in Chinatown with Sherine to get our brows done, and the beautician thought I looked familar and ask if I have visited before, but its my first visit there. Strangely, I have been getting alot of attention lately. Even out shopping, I notice people look at me, some in a strange way. Maybe i am thinking too much into it, but at time i would go to the toilet and check to see if there is something wrong with me, like something on my face or whatever not. Sure hope its not a bad thing. Then again, those people might be thinking the same way I am, if i don't look at them, I won't know they are looking at me in the first place. So can be myself ba...

Today, think i will call it a day earlier, should be heading to the gym and clear some chores. Don't want to return home to late today, been sleeping pretty late, so if possible I will try to turn in early. Getting really restless lately, not sure y. Am I not resting my body enough? but I don't want my body to go back into "laze" mode, the last time it did, i gain 4 kgs. What more, now that the festive season is around the corner, no time to be slacking off man. For the Xmas dinner, logcakes and all.... Work hard now... Bitter sweet...

Alright, better get back to work already.... fast fast do, fast fast finish, fast fast go!!! heez

Its a midweek!

Yesterday afternoon was crappy, but in the evening was pretty alright. Left office a little earlier than usual, was really not in the mood to work, so ended up doing a little window shopping in town. Went out to scout for my outfit for Xmas outing with my section, and there is quite a number of potential "to buys" already. After that head down for Muay thai lesson, as I was there early, I started off with 9 mins of skipping (3 mins intervals with 20 push ups after each intervals) before doing some light kicking with alvins. Then was punch warm ups, ended that before it started to rain and we had to change to the carpark for training. I find its not to bad training in the carpark, the floor might be abit rough on certain areas, but apart from that everything else is not too bad. After training, during the showers, Alvin was asking if I am considering of going competitive. He hope to see me in competition next year. I wasn't really keen initally, but the stagnent practices we've been having seems to have taken a little effect on me. Not that its no fun anymore, its just that there is really no way to push myself further I suppose. Still in the stage of considering thou...

Today, can really feel the ache in the thigh area when I woke up, probably because of the squats during muay thai and also some that i had done the day before in the gym. Must be neglecting my legs to have such an ache I suppose. Hopefully it will wear off before my Sunday 4-80 Challenge. Yes I am taking part in the 4-80 Challenge, a 4 km run followed by a 26? 27 storey climb. The run didn't interest me, but what did was the climb. Something i have never tried before so think it will be fun. Not sure about plans after work today, might meet up with Sherine to get the brows done. Definately no late return home i suppose, been home at 11ish for 2 days, kinda tired as I only can retire to bed at about 1 in the morning after my shower.

Alright lah, its midweek, 2 more days to the weekends... looking forward to it! for now its back to work... take care people!

Another day goes by...

Today is only Tuesday, the week is indeed passing by pretty slowly. Not that there is anything to look forward to over the weekend now that the race is over. But nevertheless, weekends are always better. hehez.

Yesterday, was suppose to leave office early, but work came last minute and send me into OT again, only managed to go to the gym at about 7 in the evening. Was asked to meet up for a little drink with Jayson and gang, and I actually turned it down. Partly because drinking at the start of the week is not my forte. But forsaking frens for gym, OMG what are you turning into Ryan? Was really feeling off-formed yesterday, and i knew gym is the only thing that can get my engine going. So stayed there till 9ish, and went home for dinner. Nothing beats good food after a tiring day, and what better food then home cooking.

Today, guess I will leave early i suppose, go walk around town, before heading down for class this evening. Its not as tough as i expected, but sure hell alot of fun lah. Haiz one more week... wat am i to do? i guess i will just stay low profile and let it pass ba. Everything seems pretty meaningless this year. I am not sure whats causing this, maybe being free from army is not a good thing afterall. All working class have that moment (that "sian have to work again" when the weekend or PH is ending) , as for me I don't, guess thats really boring me out. I guess its only human nature, when u work, you look forward to retire, and when u retire, u feel weird to stop working and yearns working... haha...

Alright back to work now... hopefully tml will be better ba!!!

Whine, Whining, Whined

Its been a pretty cool weekend for me, but if this carries on, i guess all the hardwork i put in for Hellweek will all go to waste. Have kinda lost my footing after the race, there is nothing ahead to motivate me to carry on... or I guess the devil within my is making me think this way so I can slack... Argh... I can't, not when the festive season is so nearby.

Been whining alot lately, be it about money, health, life in generally. Guess its that time of the year again, as you age, there is more to think about, and for me, I usually can bottom up how i feel pretty well in the past, but not this year apparently. I start to whine about everything and anything... I do sincerely apologise to those that I have whined at, and for being a total jackass thinking that i should make my problem your problem. When i start whining again next time, please remind me in whatever way you can think off k... Dreadful dreadful dreadful...

Let me talk about my weekend now then... Saturday was the first training after the race, so was kinda suprise to see so many people turned up, including some new people. Guess I was still pretty much in the mood of racing, so was really not used to the slow pace we were going. And the fact that I have a couple of new people infront of me, didn't really bothered me, until they start to get out of timing and all.... Guess quite alot of people sense that i was annoyed, must have made it that obvious. Had a little "friendly" race in the end, which we lost at the charge... and i finally get to feel what Yong say by the boat "dying off". Whats worse, I actually said out loud what i was feeling at that time... I said "I HATE LOSING", which i mean but not really meant out loud... Raena i suppose felt my "heat" pat me on my back and ask me to relax, thats when I realise i have actually said that out loud... Back on the beach, had a few beers, with the gang, was thinking of meeting up with Sherine and gang for a little shopping, but became reluctant after spending too much time on the beach. End up showering at Spencer's workplace, before heading down to Fluid to meet the rest of the gang for Vanessa, Ian, and the other lady's farewell party. Was fun, hang out till about 2ish, and while some continued at Attica, I made my way home...

Yesterday, met up with Sherine and Zhongxi for movie "Casino Royale". Not too bad, a 2 1/2hr movie. After that, Zhong Xi had other plans and have to leave, so me and Sherine went shopping at MS instead (as Sherine claimed she was sick of town). Saw quite abit of interesting things, Buffalo was on end season sale, but honestly their stuff was not fantastic. After that, we proceed on to suntec but nothing special as well.. Sherine didn't go home empty handed thou, got herself a top from nike which is pretty cute... A jacket from adidas caught my eye, look like a biker dude in it... and i tink it will look pretty good in formal wear also... haha *tempted* Had dinner at Kenny Rogers, not too bad i must say... There is where i started whining to Sherine i suppose... haha i guess things just got so stagnent in life that yah, its boring... okok before i start again, Erm, that pretty much conclude my evening and weekend. 2 more weeks, or week plus... think nothing is gonna happen afterall... haha its going to be a quiet even I suppose...

Alrighty den... thats all for today, going back to my work liao... hehez... tataz...
