was checking the beams due to the oh-so-heavy facade loads today when ys received a call regarding probs from site... well, sometimes i feel they aren't really problems anymore.. calls are received every now and then, few times a day telling you this la, that la etc... it's like 家常便饭 lor... nothing new... ...
haiz.. another day of checking this, checking that.. cannot pass, strengthen this, strengthen that... do until so sian, so tired... dunno what ys was discussing with marc and they suddenly heard ys said, "now our ms quek is A&A specialist." haha... 真不知是哭好还是笑好... ...
when their conversation ended, ys asked me, whether doing this project made me feel challanged cos of the different problems that arise from time to time, or rather on the other hand sian cos you just don't understand, why one project can be such a failure... laughing kinda bitterly, i replied, "actually i can't quite differentiate at the moment."
why can't differentiate you might ask, since they don't quite belong to the same category... but i feel, this two "extremes" are actually just divided by a very thin line... 就一线之差而已... all it depends is on which side you're on, or probably which side you wana be...
and now, or rather lately? am definately not feeling challanged at all... ...

1 = 4
received a call from kah wei on thursday almost begging me to join the inter-department badminton game on friday cos dunno why, apparently there weren't any gals available that day... despite telling him that i super very long time never play badminton liao, and wld most prob lose the game, he still insisted i went if not he gotta wear skirt liao.. lol... oh well, since i had nothing on after work on fri... ok la... and since it was only one game...
one game.... presumingly... just one game of mixed doubles...
but no lor... it turned out to be 3 games of singles and 1 mixed doubles lor... which all of them, i lost... :P i was like, "wah!!! bluff me lor... tell me only one game??!!!" but then LL lor.. cos i was really the ONLY gal from the cs dept... *faint*
after 4 games of what was supposedly to be 1 game, i was totally smashed... with an aching arm... and till now, still muscle aching wor... :(
thank god all these inter-department games are coming to an end... for till now to the end, it doesn't need my involvment anymore... thank god... keke... :P
the drafting team always like to sorta tease me saying the i keep turning and turning round the orchard turn project... 一直在转... 转到转不出来... partly cos of the project's name being orchard turn, the other, there was this period of time where i was involved in the ramp design for quite some time... and hence the 一直在转...
and today, i realised 我真的转不出来 wor... just as i thot i'm not gonna be involved in any more ramp issues (major ones) after we issued the drawings for construction months back, i was wrong... cos i just had to realise that something's not quite right... just when i thot it's only a minor editing job to my drawings this morning...
feeling so darn sleepy the whole day.. and yet need so much concentration and energy on this ramp... think my coffee today was feeling as blue as i... it didn't manage to wake me up like it always does, and apart from it, made my brain felt so hyper... aiyo... 这种感觉真的很难受哦... ... :S
oh well, at least i have one thing to blame it on for having such a tiring and energy draining day... the oh-so-famous monday blues... keke... come to think of it, why does garfield or anyone of us hate mondays so much? thou it's the start of the week where everyone have to go back to work after the always-gone-in-a-flash-wkend, but looking on the other side, hey, it's the only one day where you can blame for being so blue... keke...
oh well, i guess i kinda have a love-hate relationship with mondays...
"I LOVE/HATE MONDAYS" (delete accordingly to mood... keke... :P)

20 Versus 30
usually, 20 laps is enough when i just want a relaxing swim.. not too tired, neither is it not tiring.. hehe.. blabbering nonsense here again.. keke... i used to swim 20 laps when i swim with the grp on sundays.. until one day when wr and daw said i cannot always swim 20 laps, must increase! and that's where i started my 30 lap routine on sundays, which till now, never fail to kill me esp when i'm doing the last 5-7 laps.. keke.. :P
i still swim 20 laps actually, and that's when i swim on wkdays after work... just like every experiment you do you obtain a optimum value, i guess for me, my optimum number of laps is 20 ba.. hahahaha...
went swimming with dearie this morning.. but i only did 20 laps.. cos it's a lil different from what i usually do: 30 laps of breast stroke (2 laps warm up, rest, 12 laps, rest, 10 laps, rest and 6 struggling laps).. after all these years, i've finally decided to try the free style... hehe... and so today's "routine" was 1 lap breast stroke followed by 1 lap free style and rest for a while before hitting the same again until i completed 20 laps (which constitued to 10 laps of breast stroke and free style each)...
could have done more actually.. thou the free style swimming was superbly tiring, but it still wasn't as tiring as doing 30 laps of breast stroke thou... but, 天不作美... very very dark skies and then started pouring liao.. so LL lor.. gotta go off liao... but then again, luckily it rained.. cos when i got out of the pool... super "kah neng"... hahahahaha....
20 versus 30... which routine shld i go for? hehe... hmm.... see my mood that day how ba... keke.. :P

Murphy's Law
i totally hate it... erm.. not totally la.. kinda hate it? aiya, anything la.. totally or kinda, it's still don't really like it.. keke.. :P well, i guess no ones likes it either ba.. i mean, who likes it when things always happen in the opposing way you intend it to be?
just like today.. always like that one.. always when i need to go off on time, always when i have something on, then surely got things to do, got things must today finish... made me rushed like mad after that...
and you know what the irony is? there's this book that i've been wanting to buy and read.. entitled "why the toast always land butter side down ~ the hidden science of murphy's law" hahaha... to think i just said i hate murphy's law... so 矛盾 hor? lol...
anyway, that aside.. was searching on yahoo on the title of that book; wanting to make sure that i got the title correct, came across this search result with a person asking the following, which i find, kinda interesting..
"Why does buttered bread always land butter-side down? And why do cats always land on their feet? What would happen if you buttered the back of a cat and dropped it out of a window?"

最 Recently 近
've been feeling pretty stressed up recently... 就突然间觉得有很大的压力... making me a very easily pek chek, irritable, impaitient, jumpy, touchy, depressie eveie... 感觉非常的无奈... and i dunno what i can do to make myself not so stressed up...
i feel like i'm back to what i was quite some time back... feeling tired all the time.. no matter how much i sleep, i'm still feeling tired.. and sometimes, when i want to sleep, cannot sleep... just can't seem to fall asleep... feeling restless... exercising just makes me feel better, for that short period of time.. after which tiredness just kicks in... feeling scared.. sometimes just out of nowhere, i will just tremble in fear. the next moment, there's tears filling up the corners of the eyes.. but what's that fear in me? what's causing me to be like that? i also dunno..
right now, there's only one song humming in my head... it's one song i loved i haven heard in years... i don't know why this song just popped out.. cos it's not like i'm listening to songs on my itunes and it just happened to shuffle to this song.. for a start, i don't even have this song. the only thing i have is its lyrics. but somehow reading the lyrics once again seems to be pushing me to move on, to be strong.. i don't know. i just know i don't like the me which i'm potraying now. i need to get out of this.. QUICK...
i'm sure most of you have heard this song b4.. for those who hadn't, i wish i cld share this song with you, but i just can't seem to find it on youtube or other sources that i know... and neither do i have the song so that i can upload to share.. :(
smsed dearie ytd while at work.. "shall we have a nice dinner and possible some nice beer tonite? i need to unwind and relax a bit.."
and this was what he proposed...
now tell me, what cld go wrong? keke... loved it.. thanx darl.. for having to carry the booze all the way from toa payoh back here... for ordering such a thou fattening but very lovely and yummylicious dinner...
soooo 准, when i decided to wear this white pair of heels (one of the higher ones) to work today cos very long time never wear liao, the knee just got to hurt so badly... walking up the stairs of the overhead bridge almost killed me... it was still so painful even after i changed into my comfy slippers when i reached office... :(
soooo 准, that i happen to lift my head up from my calculations and analysis to see the drafters all walking out... meaning it's lunchie time le... sometimes i just work and work and work and don't realise it's lunch time... haiz... sounds very sad hor... :( today lagi worse.. spent the whole morning just strengthening ONE beam... faint... oh well... :(
soooo 准, when looking seats in the so crowded bugis foodcourt, i walked past a table and the group stood up and left... so dearie and i don't have to keep circling round and round for a seat wor... :)
soooo 准, that the ipoddie died on me just at my door step... as i was going to put the ipoddie inside my bag so that i can dig my keys out, the "battery low" sign flashed and within seconds, flat liao... :)
the story: The son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'. The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' too.
For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.

The "Forced" Run
after 2 weeks of not running with the grp on wed, i've finally pulled myself to run today... 1st wed that i missed, i was really drained from work... too tired le... so, decided not to go.. the 2nd wed (last wed) that i missed, was becos i sort of pulled a muscle from the captain ball game the previous evening...
and today... the temptation of not running was so huge.. cos there was no one to run with me... rudy and joel ran ytd, km and seetoh brisk walk, gladys didn't join, and andy haven't finish his submission... grrr... and... very tired... after another day of tiring and energy draining work...
cannot.. must run... must run... it seemed like the moment i signed up for the standard chartered 10km marathon, i never run liao... lol... i just can't seem to find any motivation to go run la... just keep feeling superbly tired nowadays... if not is either the aching knee or the aching back... haiz... problems many many ah... :P
however, i'm glad that i "forced" myself to run today... thou i din run as much as i do usually cos today fort rd carpark no parking lot, had to park at big splash there, thus reducing the distance by quite a bit... reached mac's, felt that i still had the energy, so continued to burger king (which wasn't very far from mac's also la.. hahaha..) and u-turned back to the starting point... i'm glad i ran... it felt really good.. the other pple running, the breeze, the smell of the salty sea etc...
i remember now... why, despite being so tired and drained from work, i cld previously still join the grp for the run every week without fail.. cos thou physically tiring... it's actually mentally refreshing...
