May just got worse...

To think yesterday was bad, today was no better. Well, again it was the way of ending the day. This is how the entire things went, went for a jog around my neighbourhood. Usually would make a clockwise run, but decided to take a counter clockwise route today instead. As I literally sprint down a slope, I saw a construction worker up front fixing something. He parked his bike right in the middle of the pathway, so naturally I took the inner way to avoid the sharp barriers at the side of the road. As I take the leap, something caught my left ankle, and I took a plunge into the ground.

Initally, a sharp pain hit me, I couldn't move despite the worker attempt to help me up. Its took me awhile to catch my breathe and mustered my strenght to get myself off the ground. My ankle was hurting but thank god it wasted sprained. I kicked on the pole of the board that guy was fixing. It was so well hidden that, travelling at that speen, its impossible to see. Was very mad with the worker, but seeing him apologising non stopped, and checking if I am alright, the heat within me cooled down. He is here to earn a leaving, no point blowing up the matter and have him sent back over this small matter right? Besides, I only have a few scratches here and there. After a short while rest, I ran back home at a slower pace, determined to complete my workout.

2 days into the month of may and already fell 2 days in a row... how unlucky is that... Tml will be better? i certainly hope so... for now... its nursing my wounds lah... Nights everyone!

Labour day... unforgettable...

Yesterday, labour day, public holiday, felt very sinful after that supper I had the night before, so first thing in the morning headed down to the gym, wishing to burn some of the guilt away. But the place was so packed with people that my motivation gone together with the time I had to wait for my turn at the weights or machines. Nevertheless, I still managed a 1 1/2 hour session.

Afterwhich, bought lunch and headed home. got some stuff prepared for m y little ktv session with my section before heading out again to meet them. A little miscommuncation caused Andy Koh and Fong Cheng not able to join us for ktv session. Was really a small matter, so I will not futher elaborate. We still managed to meet up for dinner thou, had ma lan huo guo. The chilli for that evenings soup was really powerful, considering we onli ordered medium spicy, everyone is already pespiring, and andy even got himselves sauage lips for awhile. Its was pretty strong i must say, so much so I can feel the "heat" exiting my system as I when to the toilet for a leak. And what better way to end the evening then another freaking embaressing moment for me!!! thinking about it is enough to turn my face as red as an apple man. I shall not go into details, but to summarise the story, I BROKE A CHAIR IN THE PLACE!!! yah yah yah, laugh all you want... coz its funny i have to agree. Thank god its was already close to 10 when that happen and the crowd was more or less not there. Unforgettable moment.... to all the people that say "WOW, ryan you have gone so slim lah" and "WOW, ryan looks like u have lost alot of weight", at that moment, I was thinking, please eat your words back... I tried laughing it off, but well its not easy, to be very honest. Its the most embaressing moment yet, since I have been working out and all... I WEIGHED A TONNE AND I STILL DO!!! haiz...

After everyone got a good laugh we all headed home "contented", at least most did I guess. Guess I will not be going back to that place anytime soon. maybe till I reduced abit of the weight. Its been awhile since I felt so insecure about weight issues, and slowly after I start working out, I thought i have conqured it... but from last night... everything just crumbled, like the twin tower of 9/11. Its will take a long while before i can recover from this wound i guess... but recover I must. wish me luck on it lah...

Today, nicely at my desk finishing up some work. I guess everyone is gonna hate me for this, but I do like working, keeps my brain working. Maybe for the fact that I am doing a part time currently I can say that, but when I start working full time, who knows right? but till then, I am enjoying life and my formula to life now is pretty simple. Work=no need to rot= income=money to enjoy on shopping and other stuff! hehez...

Alright then... guess thats all my labour day... Today marks my 1 year since I passed driving! Happy Birthday Licence!!! thinking of getting a bike licence next... will try to talk to my dad about it... den maybe a bike? Vespa? hehez... we shall see...

All its well...

Today, covered physio and medical check up, it will be 2 mths since my operation and on wednesday, marks my one year from getting my licence... haha and also one year of not touching a car!!! haha *haiz....

Anyway, today physio and check up was great, I surpassed the expectation of both my physio therptist and my doctor. I broke her record in attaining full range movement, now all I have to concentrate on is getting the strenght back on my right shoulder and also lower back and not forgetting my triceps.... hahah YES!!! finally weights training back on track, thou can only work on light ones... but still beats not being able to do any at all... At the doctor side, after seeing my progress in my range... he was very please and was kinda shocked too considering its just 2 month from my op. I will now only have to see him 4 mths from now, which is 6mth from the operation. By then, he will determine if I can go back to sports... Meanwhile, he did mention I can do my sports but dun over extert lah... hehez.... Good news from the check up pretty much cheered up my day.

After that, went down to town to walk and caught the movie "200 pound beauty". Great comedy. Thou the 2 girls behind me "enhanced" the sounds system many times... I still enjoy the show. It brought tears to many in the theatre, both tears of laughter and sadness (or rather tears from touching scenes). Overall, beauty is really skin deep, learn alot from the movie, hopefully I will see out of my shell one day too. Met up with Sherine after that, was suppose to catch the movie with her, but as she had class, I went alone only to find out later she "pon tang" class. haha but she didn't waste her time also lah.... spent it on pampering herself big time lor... done pedicure and got a new hairstyle... Rather Nice I would say... the "fresh" look. hehez, after which we had SUPPER at rocky master. Yes you heard right, supper, me... haha these words just doesn't apply on me lah... we had PIZZA and POTATOE WEDGES!!! haha felt damn sinful after having them. Have been telling myself its a reward from the achinevement I have on my arm. hehez... Tml gonna go gym first before meeting up with the section for KTV session... hehez.. sing again! what a way to start the month man... hehez...

Alright, I guess that pretty much ends my month... Shall blog again when free lah... NITEZ!!! MUACKZ to all....

And the Musical is over...

After a month of preparation, Dance Alive the musical have finally ended with a pretty nice full stop. Everyone ended the evening with cheers and smiles, and never-ending photo taking session to remember this wonderful event. After so many years of performing, its always fun when everything ends in a success. Guess thats what kept my in the performance circle for such a long time, the sense of achievement, the bonds formed between old and new friends... priceless...

Through this musical, I made many new friends, and got in touch of my musical side once again. Many a times I got dishearten by these "kids", but during the performance, it seems that they still have in them some professionalism in them afterall. There is still hope for this people. One things I respect is for their commitment to the event, attendance have been very well. Part of the credit will have to go to Sarah Jane, a new friend and the current President of the band. Nice job done. All I can say about NYPSB now is that is an unpolished diamond, and under the craftmenship of laoshi, and hopefully the current committee, it will be shiny and dazzling in many years to come. My faith is with them.

Apart from Sarah Jane, I also know many other pple, like Miki, Jolin, Tony and Eunice from my section. Xueli and Audrey and many many more lah... oh yah and my good friend Dennis, after so long, finally got to perform on the same platform with him once again. The last time we performed togther was hmm.... Australia trip? hahaha. Also, it feels great to be on stage with some of the fellow WMC gold medalist like Amelia, Thomas, Meiting, Yi Hui, Gideon, Zhi Hui, Jing Si, Pei Yi, Andy Koh, Wai Leng and many others (sorri if i forget to mention your name). Bu tthe best I suppose was being under our resident conductor Mr Luk.

Welll shall end today's blog with PHOTOS of the wonderful 2 day performance...
