My brother recently bought this pair of dumbells that weigh 2 kg each and they are surprisingly heavy. Shh but I've been secretly taking them out from his room to use every night when I'm waiting for my hair to dry from my shower after work, my arms are seriously aching HAHAHA.

Sometimes I purposely knock off abit later than 11pm, stroll to the arrival room to clock out, get a cup of ice blend from Coffee Bean before going to return my airport pass, so that I get to take the company cab instead of having to pay for my own transport home. I feel so guilty hahaha. But then I still prefer Starbucks to Coffee Bean, just that t3 doesn't have Starbucks, so Mattea and I agree that we just have to settle for a not-so-nice substitute, hurhur.

The other night I had a nightmare (okay a dream maybe) about the release of the results. I dreamt that the tcher in charge called me to take my result slip and he gave an exclamation of surprise and I saw that there were four '1's and one '2' and he said this year produced many surprises. And then I rmbr pinching myself to check that I wasn't dreaming and for a while I really thought that those were the real results, only to wake up and find that I was indeed dreaming, lol. Since when were the grades in numbers anyway, hmm. Bottomline is, I AM FREAKING DREADING GETTING THEM BACK ):

And this is abit late, but I'm damn happy that Tottenham won the Carling Cup instead of Chelsea, I just don't like Chelsea. I also hope that Reading won't get relegated this season. Oh, and I think Real Madrid's keeper Casillas is cute. And Lyon's Benzema is really good, I actually panicked abit for Man U's defence everytime he got the ball the other day when they played. Oh and everytime I serve a customer decked in a Tottenham jersey, holding a Republic of Ireland passport, I have a strong urge to ask, 'Hey are you a Robbie Keane fan? Cos' I am.' hahaha. Just like how I have to control my excitement whenever I serve a Man U fan, lol.

I'm so craving for a sushi buffet, and chocolate pocky, and peanut butter everything, and chocolates, and icecream, and bread, and cake, and cookies,and home-cooked dinners, and pasta, and..... zzz.

Now, as much as I'm a 101% Manchester United fan, which means I'm elated that Arsenal dropped points at Birmingham and Man U cut their lead to 3 pts after their 5-1 thrashing of Newcastle, I feel really sorry for Eduardo. Horrific injury that not only ended his contributions for this season, but perhaps also threatened his career in football. It's amazing he refuses to blame Martin Taylor for his broken foot, too.

Been making full use of my many off days from work to shop, eat, and catch up with everybody, which means spending more money when I'll probably earn a meagre amount this month. Not that I'm complaining though, cos as yc said, "Aiya, it's the company that matters the most what!" (:

And the thought of the A level results going to be released soon just scares the shit out of me, I get nightmares every night ): Last night, Fiona and I went for our usual jog at the reservoir, and after that we relieved our childhood on the seesaw and the swings, which was awesome. We sat there till abt 9.30pm and talked abt nothing in particular; funny how the last time we had a go at the swings after a jog was abt a week before the A's and there we were, worrying abt the A's. This time we were worrying together on the swings again, albeit abt the release of the results.

And yet, in spite of everything, I'm trying to be happy.

I'm so glad that the muttons're back on 98.7, they nvr fail to make me laugh in the middle of the night (:

Man U are up against Lyon, first leg, tmr morning. I'm gna be really optimistic abt the result, after they dumped Arsenal out of the FA Cup 4-0. On the other hand, Arsenal are up against AC Milan, doesn't look like an easy match. Sorry Calvin, but yre one of the rare Arsenal fans I know, hahahahaha.

For the bouquet, movie, damn filling dinner, talk at the esplanade rooftop, and the ride back to Bedok, thanks, really.

But somehow, it just didn't feel right.

And sometimes, truth hurts the most.

I wish I had more courage, so things that I want don't slip away before I get them.

hello. the computer's being a bitch. but seeing that i have to charge my ipod, i shall be patient.

work today was:

1. so terribly boring in the first 1 hr or so, there were so little travellers, i made calvin the greedy boy kup so many of those free airport fox sweets just to keep me awake hahaha.
2. so full of incidents when it got later into the night; lost pens, all the credit refunds, long queues and unreasonable ppl who blatantly ignore the huge and bright red 'COUNTER CLOSED' sign that i put up that pissed me off and stressed me up big time.

am really tempted to accept the other part time at fishnco. too hmm.

oh, and i was so looking forward to the midweek matches. turned on the tv at 3 plus in the morning, only to find out that channel 27 cannot air them because of some contractual agreements, what rubbish ): and so i missed what the papers said to be one of man utd's best performances of the season after their win against pompey. with ronaldo adding another 2 to his tally at that.

it took a huge amt of determination and discipline, but i managed to drag myself out of bed at 8am this morning to go for a jog at the reservoir. it felt damn good, because there was still so much time in the morning and afternoon before work to do the things i wanted to.

okay enough of my random ramblings. i hope calvin managed to help me find it (:

hi world. my laziness strikes again.

1. work's stressful, but everybody's been nice and helpful, the managers are really approachable, and so are the other ppl my age working there- the delivery boys popping in and out saying the same thing everyday, the other cashiers, and SAs at the mix-it bar too. and getting exposed to different customers has taught me alot; the occasional guailan ones, the extremely friendly angmohs who say more 'thank you's to us than we do to them, the koreans and japs who look surprised everytime i put my (terribly limited) knowledge of their language to use..

2. random meetups with ppl, though hard to organise cos my work time's very different frm everybody's, have been good too; icecream chefs yesterday was really nice

3. i miss home-cooked dinners with the rest of the family

4. man u are top of the table, level on points but ahead of arsenal due to goal difference, after their 6-0 rout over newcastle when arsenal only managed a draw last wk. ronaldo, tevez and rooney have been in such good form, as well as the rest of the squad, especially the solid defence in the form of ferdinand, vidic, evra and wes brown (:

5. JAY CHOU'S CONCERT at the s'pore indoor stadium was awesome, seeing him perform live. he didn't sing some of the songs i'd have preferred, but nonetheless, i'm happy i caught it. the $168 tickets were worth it, cos i think our seats are better than the most expensive ones right in front of the stage :D

6. been reading steven gerrard's autobiography too, thanks eileen for getting it for me (:

7. keeping to my resolution of taking 4.3 km jogs around bedok reservoir at least twice a week feels good

8. cny's coming (: which means the date of the release of A's results is drawing nearer too; i seriously dread getting it back, very very much ):
