Missed this... AGAIN.... SHu and I missed the Shape Run last year .. well we basically missed the registration.. or was it cos it was already full by the time we applied???.. whatever it is, we made sure we got a spot this year. Applied as soon as we could and we did get a place.. but I had to come back to work.. so at least I did apply and get a spot this yr.. so hopefully nexy yr I would get a chance to run it! haha.. one step closer...

Anyways.. went for a paddle in the pool today with Lexy haha.. Spent a good hour in the pool doing my laps as Lexy torpedoed by and completed a 100 laps within that hour haha.. very impressive..

Dinner was from Pizza Express (which was yummy) and a movie... Becoming Jane.. I found the film delightful haha.. Jolly splendid indeed.. (: hee...

Might just pop into Borders tmr morning or have a look on Amazon and purchase books by Jane Austen.. I might just do that.. (:

Recieved an unexpected msg today, the encouragement from an old (ish) friend, a fellow school friend, a silent reader.. (:

"Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do."

With that, I thank you for, for that msg meant a lot.. ♥

Like Ive always said, Im lucky to have parents who have always supported me, my silly ideas, my choice of study, the paths Ive chosen.. and also friends who have never doubted me, been there for me and spurred me on..

For that.. Im truly blessed... ♥

Films

Films

Films Galore...

It has been nothing but films to help me pass the time recently.. Went to watch Ice Age 3 in 3-D last night with Lexy after going for a swim @ the Gorbals... and I must say I was pleasantly surprised haha.. it was B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T~!!!! haha... was laughing the whole way through... cracker of a movie.. (:

Caught Transformers 2 last week with Fiona, Lexy and her bf... again.. another great one~!!! Loved the first one and sure as hell loving the second.. I was like a kid on christmas morning haha.. at the edge of my seat the whole time.. the number of "woahs" and "wows" haha.. sure didn disappoint me.. (:

Well been watching a lot of other films at home too.. Do like the working lifestyle here.. office hours are truely office hours.. work stays in the office.. which also leaves me with pretty much nothing much to do most of the night.. plus the tv in the flat doesnt really work.. so Im left watching old films and such... a couple that Ive been meaning to watch but missed...

Attended a course last week, Walk Leader course.. basically, it teaches volunteers how to organise walks for anyone in general... trying to promote a healthy lifestyle, bascially trying to say, any form of exercise is better than no exercise at all.. so the walk leader programme encourages folk to go out on organised walks... Might try to bring it to Singapore this summer, try out at some of the old folk's home.. I know its gonna be harder to try to introduce such programme back in SG, but no harm trying.. (:


Finally ethics approved the project Ive been working on for the last 4 weeks.. Started recruiting subjects.. cant wait to start testing next week and look at some raw data.. have decided to continue doing this research project for my dissertation, obviously Im gonna expand on it a little more, add a couple more test in.. very excited about it.. (:


Well Ive got my work cut out for me this weekend.. do a little more reading.. a little more writing.... get a little more organised and I should be well ahead of schedule...


and yet.. I still think abt the all important question all the time.. still not knowing the answer... am still sitting on the fence about it..


should I? or shouldn't I?


My life. My say. My choice.


No answer. No idea. No clue.

In the past, Ive had my fair share of being a nobody to someone who I thought was important to me.. the feeling of needing someone to talk when something devastating has happened in my life, only to be turned down instantly.. not willing to spare that precious 5 minutes..

I know how that feels.. and I never would want any of the people I care about to ever feel like that... ever... or wish that feeling upon anyone.. thats why I try to be there for my friends.. In college, I got so involved in people's lives, some might say I stopped bothering about mine.. but look where it got me... It has made me who I am today. I may not give the best advice or say the right things .. I just try to be there.. as I hope one day when I need someone to be there for me.. someone would..

So spare a minute or two if someone says they need someone to talk to for a bit...

'Cause everyone needs a friend to hold

when it's cold outside

and there's no place to go

Everyone needs a friend to hold

♥♥♥

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead

How long till my hunger is fed

They say it's hard to make it now

So many people on this merry-go-round

I often feel like I'm two steps behind

Somebody must have moved that finish line

There are a thousand reasons

Why I should give up

But I'm stubborn in the things I believe'

I promise you, the answer will come

Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan

One I still can't see

Funny how time changes how we see

Call it whatever you want.. Commencement... Graduation... it marks the end of a stage in your life and the start of another... Its that time of year again where pictures taken from graduation ceremonies are taken and uploaded onto facebook.. where I see graduates walking abt on campus in their gowns with their cert in hand, proud parents trailing behind with proud smiles and cameras happily snapping away.. All those years of hard work, late nights, primary school through college....

Kim and some of my other classmates graduated this week (they chose to grad at 3rd yr and do a post-grad in teaching).. Jealous??? just a tad.. who am I kidding.. hell ya!!.. of course Im jealous.. Ive always taken the long way and to think that'll be me in about yr is just crazy.

The gown, the ceremony, my parents being there attending my graduation. It'll be what Ive been working for all my life. A degree.

Then the inevitable question that Ive got to ask myself, what do you do once you have graduated. haha.. getting a job seems to be the obvious choice.. or go on studying??? Is a degree enough? Ive decided to only cross that bridge when I reach it.

And Ive decided to explain what I actually study.... What Ive been studying for the last 3 years... BSc in Sports & Exercise Science... No I dont know what to do if you have a sprained ankle cos Im not a physiotherapist. And no Im not getting a degree in P.E.

Got this off Wikipedia;

Sport Science is a discipline that studies the application of scientific principles and techniques with the aim of improving sporting performance. Human movement is a related scientific discipline that studies human movement in all contexts including that of sports.

The study of sports science traditionally incorporates areas of physiology, psychology, motor control and biomechanics but also includes other topics such as nutrition and diet, sports technology, anthropometry kinanthropometry and performance analysis.


So there you go.. just wanna clear the air.. in the last 3 years, the number of times ppl have asked me what do I study and once I tell them, I get responses like; "Oh so like you wanna be a P.E teacher?" =.=

Anyways, on a lighter note.. its friday night.. decided to heed a friend's advice and watch the "Pineapple Express" hahah.. (:

Ohhhh... Mubina was up in Glasgow to graduate.. so met her briefly with her dad for a cup of coffee before she flew back down to London!! hahah

I know you read this Fatter!! haha... it was so nice to see you today.. (: Will definitely make a trip down to see you soon... (: Have missed you so much .... xxx

Oh well.. research is going alright I guess, did a pilot test today and had to do a few changes, but praying that ethics would get back to us soon so that we can start doing the tests! (:

Meeting up with Lexy for a bit of badminton tmr hahah AKL u still go for badminton with Pigeon??? hahah... missed those times, when Avril, AKL, Sexy, Pretty Jon and I would go for badminton on a saturday..
