There is an error on my page and therefore I am unable to change my font and size. I have been missing from the blog scene for a number of weeks but now I am back! Because I am finding every other thing to do besides work and after an uneventful trip to hotmail and facebook I have now run out of options. Hm. My sentences do not flow. Just like in my dissertation. But no matter. I suppose it is because my brain is very messy.

So far.. I have not been doing much in Singapore but have just been enjoying being here P: It feels like I am more selective in choosing where to go and what to eat this time so that I REALLY enjoy every bit of it XD That said, I have met up with friends a few times such that I dun get sick of going out and window shopping and meeting at mrt control stations.. Just the other day I went for cable skiing too! Never thought anyone would want to go with me that's why I really pounced on the chance to go when Meiyun asked me. Unfortunately the cool images I had of myself gliding across the water surface (somehow with sunglasses, a cool cap and typical beach wear. and i had nicely-toned limbs) were not to be. We had to start of as beginners kneeling down on the kneel boards but oh well. Laypeople looking on at the side still had that amused yet slightly impressed expression on their faces when we crawled out of the side of the pond and coolly swung out boards over our shoulder and plodded back to the startline. Ha. I say laypeople. But by that I mean passers-by, not that I really looked sporty and professional.

Anyway, I managed to go a whopping 7 rounds! Ok. Actually it is not that great despite the exclamation mark. Sadly though, each round I fell further and further away from my target because I couldn't steer right enough. Finally when I had tried to lean so far right that my body was almost parallel to the water I continued in that clockwise momentum and smoothly rotated right into the water. That was the furthest I landed and I decided never to land at that spot again even if it meant I couldn't pass the last checkpoint because the exit at that side was SWARMING with mini centipede-leech mutants. So I waded the circumference of the pond until there were few enough for me to not contact them. Anyway, despite breathing in a generous quantity of saltwater (probably swallowed some centipede mutant debris/faeces along with it) and testing my biceps, triceps and other associated muscles beyond anything they had ever dreamed of, it was still a memorable experience and I would defo go again maybe.. next year. Even till today I still find it a bicep-numbing experience to carry out actions like pulling up my pants and washing my legs.

Oh. I might as well announce this as well. I put on my helmet the wrong way too. I was buckling the helmet under my chin and the instructor calmly said something like, 'and while you are waiting to get into the water you need to scan the barcode on your wrist on the blue cylinder and your helmet is the wrong way round.' That did not do much to boost my confidence.

The next next day I fell ill with indigestion. The food tat4 diao2 at my stomach-small intestine junction coz when I finally managed to vomit everything out at 5 or 6 something in the morning they were all in big purple lumps. Maybe it was the a-boh-leng. Maybe it was something(s) in the pondwater. I will never know.

Unfortunately the next day was Yiling's convocation. Which explains my fake-smile-series in the photographs that day. Papa told me I should try to look more natural when I smile. But I will not listen to this anymore because the last time I did everyone asked me what happened to me in my IC photo. The convo was another memorable experience but me feeling queasy got in the way. Still, there was free food and I just couldn't resist not taking any so I did. Anyway the highlight of the event was the 5 minutes spent reading out the psych dept names where we recognised a few names and took pictures of the names we recognised. And the 15 seconds that Yiling went up and Mummy and I whoopwhooped and I said 'There there!' and my video shook violently.

Now I am just enjoying being in Singapore even though I dun go out much. It is just being here that is nice! Bloody weather tho. Can't decide if it wants to be hot or cool.
