Hodgepodge

I've been such a major klutz this week that I'm beginning to get annoyed. I keep hitting walls, kicking shoes accidentally, and spilling food. Awhile ago, I almost fell down the steps on the bus. Talk about a lack of poise. I seriously hope I get my sense of balance soon because my body can't stand any more bruises or scars.

Interesting sights of the day:

As I was walking along Bukit Timah Road coming from the Law Campus in the hopes of catching bus 151, a Caucasian dad passed by me. He was jogging (and damn was he fit!) while pushing his kid on the stroller. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. I wonder how the baby felt going at such an accelerated stroller pace.

I also saw another Caucasian in business attire climbing a fence. Enough said.

Dorothy Cheungs came and went and it was absolutely tiring. Like any other debate competition, it was one of those tiring-yet-absolutely-fulfilling events that made crashing into bed a welcome and sweet treat. Wee Jian, Vignesh and I didn't break (only 4 teams could break) and it sucked that we missed break by 2 places. Oh well, there's SMU Hammers and AUDCs of course.

Caught Music and Lyrics last Friday night at Vivo City. It was soooo cute. Sigh. Hugh Grant is love. It's one of the better chick flicks/romantic comedies of this year. I'd say it's as good as The Holiday (which I really loved as well).

Experimented with my new camera and took some shots of Sentosa from the third floor balcony of Vivo City.

I've been eating and eating like crazy this week. So much for the no supper/no eating after 9 pm rule. I've had supper TWICE this week and had ice cream and chips and cookies all week long. I even had McDonald's breakfast this morning. Okay fine, so I swim and run so technically I'm not gaining any extra calories. Maybe I should start adopting Len's policy. I work out to eat.

I went running and swimming three times this week though and twice of those were done at 7:30 AM. Nothing like starting your day on the right note. I love the pool temperature in the early morning! Immersed in icy cold water, I could just stay in the pool and soak in the morning sun. Swimming is therapeuthic. When you're in the pool, the rest of the world gets drowned out by water and you're immune to all thoughts and actions except for your stroke. Pull, stroke, breathe. Pull, strok, breathe. Before you know it, 12 laps are over and it's back up to reality.
