Heaveno!

Jeffire is at the media theatre now, the best place in SMU to work. It's much quieter than the library, though occasionally there are people having their project discussions. But best of all this place is not as crowded as the library, so I can use a computer that is temporarily personal to myself! Most importantly, the media theatre is open 24/7, so I can even work till 11pm at night, which I did last week. Heh, busy with the occasion chunk of tasks from my CCA.

The week has been pretty peaceful with only a few lessons as the mid term tests begin (for me it has already ended today) so it's the one week holiday now. I will be having a job interview, a few meetings and probably some celebrations for the social aspect of my life while for my personal time I will just find something to do, like sleeping or reading or playing WE8!

Anyway I hope to kickstart some cardio training program, but I am not sure how should I go about it. Should I do like last time, swim everyday, or have a mixture of swimming and running.. Seriously I feel bored doing either because there isn't much effect to be seen in terms of weight lost or shaping up. On the strength front, I've been doing some push-ups and crunches, like in sets of 10 and 20 respectively. I am using the 5 stroke character, 正, as a guide, in the sense of each 正 is equivalent to n, and i'm doing 1+n sets of the 10-20 thingy. Now going to the 3rd level already, so should also infuse some cardio to burn off the stubborn fats. Hmm..anyone got any suggestions to improve this?

On Sunday, I managed to play some soccer with the kids at the street soccer court. The 'kids' refer to the secondary school guys, and man, they are quite good. One of them is faster and more stylo than my brother! Had a good training trying to tackle them or dribble them (tackle success - 3/10, dribble success - 1/10). One thing I realised is the Brooks shoes from SAF work very well on dry surfaces but performs extremely badly on wet surfaces. Simply put there is no grip on wet grounds! That was why my brother and I were playing quite half heartedly for fear of slipping.. oh well, anyway i hope to play with my friends soon, esp the army chaps and the 7seas..my mother is screaming at me again for injuring myself with my kneecap's skin gone again due to diving on concrete to save balls. oh well, do i always get injured when playin soccer? i think so...i enjoy sliding shots sometimes, that's why..

well, my finances are still looking bad...i hope i can get the job today and start working soon. although that won't correct it that soon, but guess i should be able to celebrate the festive season in good spirits. i certainly hope so! This week will be a severe test of how i juggle social life and my finances...which one should i give in to?

what to do what to do...time will tell..
