NIE Biathlon... Gone??

One more day to the event and something bad happened to me.. I strained my MCL (medial cruciate ligament)! I'm considering giving up on the event (veri hard leh) for the sake of my health, but my heart is not willing to give up.. So hard!! First event DNP??

Had a good break this week. Did nothing much on my studies, but focused on playing and enjoying.. Time to get back to earth and start moving on with the group work and personal assignments.

I had a chance to be a tutor for the first time. I am volunteering in FaithActs, a wing of my Church. My first student was Shawn from P5. He is quite okie in his studies, just that he has difficulty grasping concepts and being careless. Hope that he will do well for his exams and have a good time with him tutoring..One more coming..

I also realize that with 3.5 to 4k in my hand, buying a mid to mid-high range of bike can be very stressful cause there are many choices!! So luan and hope that I can choose and find my bike...

So long, pple.. See you around. One thing to think: What is love to you? Hope to hear from you.

My Bike..

Wonder if U can see my bike..

Fondue: Heaven or Hell?

At last, after a week of groaning (for not bringing my IC to get a $25 Haggen Daz Voucher), my mom bro and I went to eat at Haggen Daz last Sun. We went to eat Fondue, which taste like heaven (with the icecream, fruits and other accessories in Belgian Choc..) to us.. But 'hell soon awaits' for me..

As i went back home, I saw my flabs!! Oh no! must be the icecream fondue. Must exercise to shed them off. I decided to cycle at night to shed the extra calories off my bod. Here I go, cycling to Tuas Checkpoint again, but this time I stretched myself a little (motivated to destory the cal!!) and tried to go to the other end.. alias tiredness and fatigue came over me and I have no choice but to go back home..

Did a total of 88k on that for 4 hrs, very slow ride (so as to exhaust my fats as much as possible). Well cycling at night has its good points, but nothing beats cycling in the daytime (brighter, tanner and stronger!!). BTW, I went back home at 0330hrs, Monday morning. Next day, knee pain!!

Thot of the day: With output, there must be input..

Something different..

Attached is what I'am going to save for..My next bike!! Here are the details..

Frame: Giant TCR Advanced 2005/6 (Monocoque construction, T800 carbon fibre..)
Wheelset: Shimano R500 black or Mavic Aksium Race (Race ready)
Drivetrain: (incl bb, excl hubs..) Shimano 105 (Entry level race set)
Black Aluminium Handlebars, Stems, Seatpost (stronger than carbon, so more power to transfer), white handlebar tape..
Saddle: Preferably Selle Italia SLR!! (Light and flat)
Pedals: Shimano SPD (Black)

Heehee.. this will cost be ard 3.5 to 4k, time to eat instant noodles..

Cycling RoX!

U n I make choices..

Today, was a full day in school, ended around 3.15pm after an hour of Science, Psychology, Break and Maths. Maths was really tough, so tough that my mind could not think properly.. Thankfully today's topic was on inverse (additive and multiplicative), so slightly easier.

A friend of mine asked me for my opinion on a road bike last evening, and i decided to give him my 2 wheels' worth. At the end of the day, I told him that it's his choice that matters, despite how 'experienced' advices could be. For he's gonna 'stick his bums' on the bike, not mine..

Likewise in life, we make choices and decisions. When things do go tough, we ask for advice. Good or bad, we still have to make our decision and our choice matters as we will be responsible for the choices made. We choose that, not our frens. All the more this is important regarding choices that could last eternity long.. Think about it..

Tonight, gotta 'chiong' for my art assignment..thinking of ideas. Sign of increasing roughness in my brain lining..

Yeo :?

1 down, 5 to go..

Hope that you had a good morning..

I passed up my assignment this morning. Another burden down,,phew. Was stressed hard last night tackling the question, not knowing whether the essay is relevant or not. Nevertheless, it's done..but another 5 more to go!! Gotta rest for a short while before focusing on the papers..

In order not to lose touch with primary school kids and their work, I have decided to volunteer to do tuition for kids! Will start tomorrow, so I'm excited and looking forward to see them, though I do not know them yet..heehee. Guess it's a good way to keep myself updated with the trends of the kids.

I cycled 55km this afternoon as my class ended at 1030am..Where did I go? Westwards to Tuas Checkpoint and also went to Bukit Timah area to get something.. really tired after the cycle, but felt great and ready to go on, though an ice-cream will make it !!! (Haggen Daz anyone??). People who are reading this should know that exercising is good for your health, so if u r not doing it, do it soon! But please check with your doctor first.

3 more days to term break.....

No Haggen Daz!!

Ah! Did I say I wanted to eat Haggen Daz on Sunday? Well I didn't! MY Haggen Daz was a voucher that needed to be verified with my IC, and I did not bring my wallet on Sunday! So no choc fondue for me..Sob Sob :(

Today as I went through my Education Psychology Class, I was deeply humbled by my thots on people with special needs. A question was posed by the lecturer: Can a person who cannot walk and talk fit into the mainstream society? My mind was a 'No', with images of people who have no legs and cannot talk. I though to myself: Based on that, it's impossible...

Then the lecturer showed a video, which gave me the most shocking/humbling experience on that day: I saw my church youth in the video. Deep in my heart, I wanted to cry, cause I know that she is one big exception (yet i did not take note of it). And with the video depicting her perseverence and tenacity, I was deeply humbled with the words I had muttered earlier...

So friends, please think before you speak/judge, for you will never know what he/she can do. Something for U to ponder.

A day of rest and relax, before the battle..

Sundays are usually reserved for my church and family. I'm the only believer in the family, so I can be a little stressed up sometimes in terms of showing my faith to them. As for my church, more stress!! Why? Cause I facilitate a few cell groups in church, so must lead them into spiritual maturity..all the more scary when some of them are knowledgable in the Bible, and I need to think 'higher ability questions' for them.

But what I fear most is their destination after death. As most of them are born in Christian families, they are inculcated with biblical values right from they learn ABCs. Some of them are really knowledgeable, but when asked personal questions about their faith, some of my group kids cannot answer them or they kept quiet. What are they thinking? Can they really say that they believe that Jesus died for their sins and they had committed thier lives to Him, as Savior and Lord? That's my concern for them, cause if they do not have Jesus in their heart, their destination after death is hell. Period.

Even though I am training to be a teacher, I have difficulty expressing myself in English, and sometimes I blend in other dialects and Chinese in my sharing of things. It can be really interesting to share what you know in another language other than English, and the results can be heart-provoking at times (cause it's more personal to me..though annoying to the others..).

Tonight, we will be going down to Haggen Daz (Forgive me for the spelling..) with my mom and bro for choc fondue. Prepare for a loss of voice and more pimples!!

Line to ponder: Da3 shi4 teng2 ni3 ma4 shi4 ai4 (In Chinese, To beat you is to dote you; to scold you is love you..)
