woke up to a really dark room...
the rain was so heavy that the sun was really blocked out... 11am seemed like 6 plus in the morning... toughie... coz sam and i was planning on hitting the water this afternoon before going for gym... plans fail... like alwaz... under the hands of the weather... do weather have hands? *shrugs* but it's good too i guess... have time to myself... maybe will head down to the library... need more books... ryan, my bro's best bud's bro, told me the LOTR series aint such a good read... so i need more books to last me thru these couple of days... he's quite a witty guy actually... so when we talk... we out all out to outwit each other... and end up laughing half the conversation away... dunnoe why i'm in the reading mood now... no explaination... but nevertheless... it remains a good thing... was at the airport's bus terminal yesterdae... you know the soft yellow lighting?? i dunnoe why... but it gave a very surreal feeling to it... plus the fact that it was raining and therefore, cool... it felt like i was out of sg... rather, in some dream-like place... i HAD to convince i'm heading to the beach for training and not anything else... i've alwaz had the dream-like feeling whenever i'm out of sg... esp during my trip to perth with my primary sch when i was younger... when i was in this huge toy store with my pals... i guess it happens becoz everything around seem so foreign... DUH!??!? just the not-familiar feeling... it was the same in thailand too... though we were treating the area like our own neighbourhood by then... walking ard alone... going to the net cafe... sending our laundry to the nice ladies in the back alleys... buying our favourite cheese dogs and meiji milk from 7-11... or chatting/smiling-when-we-dun-understand with uncle mi... the fruit seller who gives the thai wsfing team free fruits... our taking the mini-bus down to threpprasit road's nite markets... it felt like we were in another world... like when we were drinking in Hollywood... this club everyone seems to love... except sam with tissue in his ears... me planted motionless on the barstool... and loony mao-ing the nite away... MAO: thai for drunk... i was practically floating in that place... must be the alcoholic influence... the deafening music... the pumping bass... and the blinding lights... but back to the dream-like feeling... ever had a dream that was so real u swore it was??? or an experience so unbelieveable you had trouble convincing urself it was?? really a thin line that separates these two... wouldnt even be a line actually... just a blotch of grey... i like grey... but thats not the point... does the dream-like feeling oni apply in situations that is pleasing to the individual? if so... i dont mind living in dreams sketching out my entire life... having everything going my way... i guess when they give something to you... ...they take something from you as well... ----Stef stopped rambling at 12:20 --Link to Post |

was thoroughly a wasted trip to the beach...
wind was practically non-existent... not to mention how drenched i was... walking in the not-so-light rain to NSC... from PASSC... did abit of board maintainence though... sand papered the entire hull... not supposed to do that actually.. but it's the training set... so... hung up the sails as well.. got abit pissed with the guys for not hearing my logic out before putting me down... making it quite awkward for me in front of the new in-charge.. but heck... we grew to take no heed of each other... am more than halfway through teenage textbook now... maybe i should just finish up... and start on two towers tmr... i dunnoe whats the rush with all the books... i guess the feeling of having accomplished something... like finishing a book... feels good... gawd i'm starting to get psychotic... get me a job soon!!! work my mind abit... before you see those eight legged things webbing its own haven among my wasted brain mass... would be going down again for water training tmr... then stay in for gym... i HATE the 20mins on the rowing machine... seriously... it sucks big time... maybe i'll get more mileage tmr... but considering i'm sailing the afternoon away... the chances of that happening... practically zilch... brought lotsa french toasts to the beach today... supposed to feed my team... and clear the stock at home... did i mention??? the bane of having a large family is that... u have 3 different pple buying a loaf of bread each... and coming home... only to reach that we'll be having 4 loaves of bread to finish at the end of 3 days... forgot to pass some to loony... but sam had some... and kept some for dad... knew he'll be hungry after a long day at work... and also to lessen my guilt... having him come all the way east to pick me up from NSC... met WQ, gerald and the PA peeps loading up equipment for kuantan... wished them a good journey... then dad drove all the way home... coz we were gonna have yusheng today... yummy! reading shanghai baby kinda reminded me how sweet love could actually be... how it just takes away one's frustration after a bad day... and that oh-so-empty feeling one gets in the stomach ever so often... dont really know how the expression goes or came about in the first place... that 'love completes a person'... to a large extent... i guess it was true... ----Stef stopped rambling at 22:24 --Link to Post |

finished shanghai baby liaoz...
pretty fast actually... considering i spent less than one day... less than 8 hours actually... cant really give a review though... coz i dont really know what to make of it... its a translation though.. so i guess some of the magic was already lost with it... next book would probably be the teenage textbook... reckon i had better read it before my teenage years run out... am edging perilessly towards adulthood.. better do all the things i'd like to do before i hit good, fat 20 years of age... would be hitting the beach today... cant help it... sam and loony so onz abt training... even when they are schooling... jobless and useless me cant possibly stay home and rot can i? bo pian... probably take the skate scooter with me... and skate from the bus stop at PA to nsc... hope i'll find my training board... its been like 7 mths since i used it... ----Stef stopped rambling at 11:33 --Link to Post |

spent part of the afternoon at the library...
with hazelnut ice blend in left hand... apple & cheese crumble in the right... reading shanghai baby... borrowed that... two towers... and the teenage textbook to last me through the week... or more... shanghai baby is kinda sexual... lewd in the description of copulation... shed light on the darkness of the modern adult world... dont know how much of that applies with safe, clean sg... but i guess it made a good read... am at least halfway through it liaoz... made my way to NSC for gym... took a bus to TJC... met wq there... then took a cab in... which reminds me... i havent paid her my share of the cab fare... she's leaving for kuantan with the PA peeps... to look-see the AWT... and surf shortboards... i'd be content to sail longboards in sg... it's been ages since i last trained... gym today was siong... considering how long i havent been to an sg gym... was on the rowing machine for 20mins straight... which churned a distance of about 4km... sucks... compared to the guys' that's peanuts.. but i am contented with peanuts for now... just as long my head doesnt threaten to black out... did hangs... but still couldnt do a single pull-up... thats my motivation.. am just very glad that i havent gained weight since my pattaya days... and i'm hoping to train until i hit 50kgs... and do my first pull-up... then i'll be a very happie girl... moon brought some thai songs with her... played it in the gym... damn nice lor... esp the song which topped the charts in thailand... havent got any idea what they were singing... but damn... it sounded so good... wanted to bring home and save into the pC... but forgot to take it from her... darn... will probably go back to my book... hmm... or maybe surf ard some more... and see whether there are any job adverts that i should send my resume to... ciaoz. ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:08 --Link to Post |

quite a crazy day actually...
met up with yixiang... for the afternoon... then came home to go for a short run... supposedly to break the 3 weeks of non-activity... breeze was cool... cold, in fact... esp when you sweat it all out... and the wind blows at you like dat... man! it reminded me of morning runs in pattaya... only that i was in the all-familiar comforts of my estate... was back from a bad injury... so din want to push myself too hard... but saw this army guy who overtook me conceitedly... got abit carried away... and sprinted a large part of my run to catch up with him... sadly... din catch up... and found myself gasping for dear life... did about two rounds around the estate... clocked abt 16 mins... before lifting some logs at the fitness corner... wasnt feeling too good by then... but wanted to finish abit at least... took the lift up... then realised i was starting to black out... scary feeling really... when lift stopped at my floor... i dragged myself to my door... and almost collapsed after pressing the doorbell... mom said i look really pale... and frankly... i got really scared coz i couldnt even see straight... everything was a dark blur... and my head felt very empty... felt like a PC shutting down... though i dont really know wad that feels like... scary... really... started crying when i came into the house... cant furnish myself with a reason for feeling so horrible... except for the possibility of dehydration or lack of iron... man... see how everything goes... am planning a jog tmr morning... before hitting the gym in the evening with the team... datapool hasnt called... company that was supposed to employ me... darn... that means i'm still unemployed... =( anyone interested to contribute to the "help-stef-lead-extravagant-lifestyle" fund? it'll probably pay for my movies when i do get bored on weekdays... dinners with my pals at nite... maybe a couple of coffees per week... yummy desserts like tiramisu and pies... and of coz... my transport ard the island... onz??? just send a cheque... its that simple and convenient! and if you're wondering how much to send... 100 bucks would probably last me abt one week... so... send a couple of hundreds to save yourself the double stamp fees... for now... its look for a job time... ----Stef stopped rambling at 20:58 --Link to Post |

just watched world idol on star world...
totally awestruck by how wonderful some of these pple sound... esp the norwegian, british, belgian and the canadian... simply fantastic... not many would actually agree with me... but i just love such programmes... where the plain, ordinary folk get a shot at stardom... esp like kurt nielsen... yes... he looks like a hobbit with a gap in his teeth... but boy... he sounds terribly good... catch part 2 tmr... at 9pm... on Starworld (starhub chn18)... you wont be sorry... even if u dont like the singing... the illogically, entertaining 'simon-cowell-of-poland' shoots their egos down pretty well i guess... chu san was quite uneventful actually... din go mr tan house with the rest... coz accompanied my mom to her colleague's home in admiralty for lunch.... had really good nasi lemak and curry... and one angpao... pathetic for 1 day... but i guess its the spirit of the festivities that matter... not the number of red packets... but the money in it actually... =P dad's friends that we usually visit were out... aunt was working... so we actually had no where to go... afternoon was spent in the car... when parents practically went ard sg to look for our missing grandma... coz she seemed pretty down these couple of days... then went east coast food centre for lotsa food... i had prawn mee...chicken wings...rojak...coconut... man! and uncle told me i was getting fat the day before... but you know what... i really dont care! =) dunnoe why... but have been having that feeling of insecurity the last few days... even though its CNY and all... cant help but feel expectant of a phone call... not the one from the loanshark company telling me i got the job or otherwise... i dunnoe... but felt the dire need to talk to someone... even though i kinda dislike chatting on the phone... was surprised that ben leng called at 2am on new year's day... was happy to hear his voice after so long actually... actually... i think i miss those friends whom i used to spend hours chatting on the phone with... in primary school especially... tammie...jane...maria... in secondary sch... serene...bernie...wf...ben...judah... i guess as ur life starts to speed up... and u have less time for your friends... they slowly drift away from you... then when everything comes to a stop... like after the a levels for me... it all tends to feel a little empty... and i start wondering how do pple like ben k. manages to work... meet up with his friends at like 1130 at nite... and still survive the next day... did i mention how i alwaz marvelled at the wonder of conversations... and held in admiration pple who were particularly articulate and fluent in their mastery of the language? spoke with ben k. twice so far... amazingly short conversations coz i was usually space-filler while he waits for his friends to arrive.. one of those articulate idiots who alwaz seem to make conversation seem a breeze... he reminds me of judah alot... with that slangish accent which u cant really tell whether it was american/australian/british... coz i cant differentiate anyway... wf's bro is quite powerful with the language too... though i thought he did a better job with it written rather than spoken... i wonder where i lie... am thoroughly aware of the fact that i dont speak really well... am better written than spoken... but i think i had better turn that ard... before i tell the next interviewer that i dunnoe why i applied for the job... damn! ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:06 --Link to Post |

came back pretty late last nite...
by most pple's standards its early la... but i'm a homebody... hate being out there... away from the homely comforts... yes, i'm a total slacker... but its also becoz my legs seem to take me alot less further these days with the ankle prb... so pardon me... i'm a happier person at home... love being out with friends too... just that i love having a curfew... weird... oh ya!!! shucks... i was in the same LRT train as this shuai ge... we alighted same station and everything... but i was pretty drained after the long day... so walked really quickly home... and damn! i din know he was just behind me... and the best part! he lives in the same block! so my lift door closed before he could even reach for the button... damn... if only i knew... i'd walk a little slowly... then i'll get to see him a little more... =( that aside... am starting to believe entirely in the saying that wad goes ard comes ard... maybe johnston's rite in saying that i should review how i treat pple... not maybe... definitely... i'm da kind who gets too busy sending sms-es that i neglect replying sms-es... feel so mean towards pple that should matter... and i guess its time i change... start on my journey towards being a better person... but judging from the way i am now... think i have a long long way to go man... ben khong said that wad the interviewer said on friday sounded more like a 'wait for our reply after CNY...' damn... i kinda want the job... or A job for that matter... dying to grow up and face the world... watch out world... here i come... ----Stef stopped rambling at 13:32 --Link to Post |

just back from my first half of the day..
went to the polyclinic to get a referal to a specialist abt my leg... it was horrid though... waited like 2 plus hours just to see the doc for 5 mins... and paid like 8 bucks for that stupid letter... worst part... the doc was such an a**hole... piangz... told him abt my leg... then he asked... so wad do you want us to do abt it??? harlow~? you're the doc... YOU'RE supposed to tell me... then nvm... after that i ask fo referal to TTSH... then he... are you sure you want one? the waiting time is abt two-three months... just make sure you dont complain... i replied very matter-of-factly... which is true... I AM NOT COMPLAINING... just give me the freaking letter and less of your sucky attitude... hey... so wat if you're a doctor... if thats the way he works... he's not in it for the passion... just the money and the prestige ya? then do me and alot of other pple a favour... quit the job and go be a GP... you'll probably earn more! but wait a minute... your attitude sucked so much... no one would frequent your clinic ya??? damn... too bad! that aside... was late in meeting teresa in sch... but found her after search long and hard... was quite tough... coz she gave me her sis' HP number... and it was a hongkong number... then i rem the extension wrongly... went to eat AJ ice with her, pq, aud, her sis and her sis' bf... quite yummy... but i guess we had a bit of a prb keeping the conversation going... meeting again tonite though... when the non-slackers finish work... then maybe dinner... at orchard... realise i cannot make appointments with pple... i tend to forget all the little details to consider when setting time and place... lousy me... quite frankly... first time i have to 'host' a friend from abroad like that... dunnoe where to bring her and wad to do... dunnoe wad to eat later also... coz its a 10+ pple group... everybody's coming at different times... and we are poor young working adults... but i'm not working... i'm just a pai ka... darn... probably bring her to walk at esplanade... but dinner IS a huge problem... leaving home at abt 5pm... still raining cats and dogs over here... hope it stops soon... i miss the mild warmth of sunshine... ----Stef stopped rambling at 14:57 --Link to Post |

just back from lunch and buying stuff...
made our way to BenQ warehouse... and got the digicam for 199... not bad a buy really... and the SD ram for 75 bucks... no optical zoom... but i guess the digital zoom would suffice... we got so used to the MANUAL zoom... walking forward and backwards... who needs optical zoom? =P but runs on AA batteries... and can used rechargeables... but at least... its abt 3+ Megapixels now... compared to the 1.5 we were using... but we saw benQ's next range... looks set to be quite suave indeed... went for meat bone tea... better known as rou gu cha... shiok... 28 bucks for the 4 of us... but the niceness of the uncles/aunties serving us was worth every bit of it... parents spoke to them like old pals... and they kept replenishing the delicious soup... 5 stars! for excellent service and that oh-so-homely atmosphere... and needless to mention... the scrumptious food! bought stuff to make rene's card liaoz... passing to her tmr... its gonna be a HUGE card... hope it comes out nice... coz she's my bestest pal in the whole world... i suck at buying presents... but hope the effort on her card would suffice... meeting the team at ching's place for BBQ/steamboat tomorrow... all of them are gonna be there... so it'll be the octet... and hopefully manna would join us... since she's on vacation from her vet studies in aust... miss the bunch... would definitely bring the new BenQ cam for tmr!!! ----Stef stopped rambling at 16:47 --Link to Post |

'why you put butter on the crabstick!??!?!' why dont you take my place over at the pit and do your own cooking instead... u %&$@*% !!! if you read that... and realised its you... dun worry... probably no one would know... coz very little pple read my blog... and kinda hoped you would realise that your manner of speech was indeed quite offensive... grrr... signed up for the basic theory test liaoz... on the 13 of feb... pple plz remind me... its on a friday... lallaa... really scared i forget... but hopefully liteng will rem... we aiming to get our licenses by end of 2004.. wish us best... going to the bonesetter again tmr... ankle still pain... and it seems like its getting worse... maybe its the mass dances i was struggling with on finale night... couldnt resist dancing with all those pple... now i suffer the consequences... pain!!! and another 20 bucks into the sinseh's pockets... he better get it fixed... probably take a cab into NSC as well.. then FINALLY set up my sail... and board... and sail the weekend... before andrew comes back and realise we havent been training... but seriously... i'm trying hard to get my ankle fixed wor... the pain is killing me... and i dun wanna limp for the rest of my life.... will ciaoz to sleep before dad wakes up to watch 22 monkeys running after one ball... oops... not supposed to say that.... i'm supposed to like soccer as well... okay... watch 22 well-paid...and usually good looking...monkeys running after one ball... muahhaha... ciaoz... ----Stef stopped rambling at 01:08 --Link to Post |

my race report...
too tired to blog abt my sucky day... will do so some other day... today's entry would be something i stayed up till 3am last nite to finish... (not considering the fact i started past midnite...) Sawasdee! Though we have been back from beautiful Thailand for some time now, we don’t seem to miss out on any opportunity to flaunt our (lack of) fluency of the Thai language. (Unless you consider being able to count from one to ten as being fluent.) Thailand, however Asian it might seem, was pretty different from Singapore, explaining the culture shock we experienced on the first few days of our stay. Having strangers striking up conversations with you in Thai (and frantically waving your hands saying, “no speak Thai!”), adding condiments such as chilli, vinegar, fish sauce and sugar (!!!) in your already tasty noodles, the obvious lack of rubbish bins in the area, (having to walk the distance of NSC to the nearest bus stop for the bin and back) were just a few of the abnormalities that we soon conformed to. In short, it simply meant that the Thais were amazingly friendly people, the food there was so good you wondered why you only had 3 meals to eat and that you would probably have a mini rubbish bin in your pockets to save yourself from all the walking. On a serious note, training in Thailand was undoubtedly tougher and more regimental that what we experienced in Singapore, (though Coach Andrew will beg to differ about the ‘tough’ part). We literally lived by the sea, with the beach just four lanes across the road. The 4 of us relished the convenience but it also meant that we could never escape training, (not like we tried to). The weather in Pattaya was amazing, the sun never fails to blaze and throughout our 23-day stay, not a single drop of rain fell from the skies, (that also meant that we could not escape training). So everyday, we just breathe sea air, drank seawater and ate seafood (in tomyam, stir-fried, steamed and broiled). But before I give the impression that it was a 23-day holiday funded by taxpayers, I must give credit to Coach Andrew for giving us the whacking of our lives. Days begun at 0540 hrs when my Siemens M55 starts the cockerel ring tone and I begin my treacherous journey to the adjacent bathroom to wash up. By 0630 hours we would already be all warmed up and ready to embark on our ‘25x2-mins’, ‘Pattaya-Park-and-back’ or ‘up-the-hill’ jog. The boys would usually speed up and leave me in their dust, trudging behind with my little shuffles. On hindsight, it was a routine I would not even think possible, much less do, but still am glad I did (without hesitation). Weight training was done every other day, torture techniques, (hanging like a dead fish on the pull-up bar, sit-ups, weights, weights and more weights), you name it, Coach Andrew already thought of it. Winds there are ever so punctual, to an extent that we regard morning water time as our pumping session and afternoon training as our ‘flatten-your-sail-and-sheet-in’ sessions. Winds there vary from the gusty offshores to the constant 12-18 knots northeast winds. The waves there were more defined and were indeed very much easier to ride as compared to those in Singapore. So if there was only one thing I learnt, it was riding the waves on the downwind effectively, (but of course, I learnt more than that). Afternoon training coincides with that of the Thai Olympic squad, was thoroughly amazed by their board speed and agility on the board, and have been trying to copy their stance and reactions to the waves to the best of my ability. After that would be a long 4-person queue to the toilet, then heading out with the locals for dinner and maybe some grocery shopping. Visited the night market at Threpprasit Road as well, and that would probably record as the most “no speak Thai!” exclaimed in a night, especially since we looked utterly local (read: non-Caucasian). Days usually end by 2300 hours and it would be comatose till the next morning. Luck was on our side, (or maybe otherwise) that during our stay there we managed to race the Siam Cup and join one of their club races as well, at Bangsaen Beach, Chonburi. The former saw a fleet of MODs totalling at least 20, though the diversity of nationality was not present, it was a good learning experience racing with the team from Hong Kong and the locals, of course. Though our results struggled behind ideality, it cannot be disputed that we learnt a lot about board handling and sail rigging from the experts we never fail to look up to. These would include Arun Homraruen, Khunthong Saksan and twins Kookiat and Kreaungkrai Sakulkaeng. The latter was raced in incredibly gusty offshores and flat waters. It was probably the first time we raced such a small course ever since we converted from soft sails to the MOD. But as expected, short races meant that mistakes were amplified ten times over, a little struggle would probably set you back by at least several points. At the very least, we experienced the transitions of a 20-knot gust and an 8-knot breeze (and vice versa) all within a couple of seconds; now, we would probably handle such situations more aptly, (no longer swimming in the cold, freezing waters). A full report of the 23 days would probably clog up the server, not surprising because this trip was indeed a fruitful and rewarding experience for the MOD team, (*points to the 2000 baht won at Bangsaen by SIN90). The four of us came back to Singapore with nice brown (or black) tans, team spirit strengthened (or tested), stomachs tuned to the fiery spice of tom yam and pok pok and the calluses on our hands higher by several millimeters now. Many thanks to our dear Coach Andrew who never failed to instill in us the importance of punctuality and efficiency, and bringing up our fitness and strength to a level never before attained. The training stint was trying, both physically and mentally, but one thing for sure we learnt, is that physical limitations can always be stretched further simply by playing with the human mind. (“Just a little bit more!”, however untrue, gets you through the most trying regimes, even if you were telling yourself that for the past hour or so.) ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:53 --Link to Post |
