It's finally the weekend!!

After a tiring week, running here and there, doing this and that, I managed to get a good night's sleep...woke up refreshed and relaxed... and the first thing I did was to do my daily routine..read football news..results etc! Haha. Then here I am, writing this blog which will describe how my week flew by...

First, let's talk about work..the Uni+Vantage discussions with the vendors. Didn't manage to secure any vendors yet...because of last year's poor results and coupled with the need to pay a fee this year. I certainly hope I could retain a deal or two because it will definitely benefit all my university peers, SMU, NTU and NUS! So if you are reading this, my dear university friends, please do aid us in patronising the vendors and flashing your cards for discounts!! (In particular, do visit Stamford House's Baylene Fashion Gallery, for I have been set a target of 20 student customers with at least 15 using the privilege in the next 6 mths) Haha...anyway, if you need to know which discounts are available, feel free to ask me first before we get the website up and stuff like that.

Secondly, let's talk about my gym experience at Bukit Gombak stadium. The gym was quite comfortable, though a bit small. Alex, my 7Seas brother, was my instructor for the day and he taught how to use several machines and how to do certain exercises using the free weights...wooo...it was certainly tiring as I felt an ache in my shoulders and chest after doing all those weights.. then we had a race on the threadmill..haha. No la, we ran on the threadmill, and seriously, I still prefer running outside on the roads and to the parks...feels much better. But of course if it rains, a threadmill helps in a long way! $2.50 per visit is certainly affordable, yet if I were to frequent the gym, I would rather sign up for one...which one.. SAFRA or SSC gyms? I suppose I need to check stuff out before making a decision. Certainly, after the gymming I could sleep much better...very long never slept that well..

Oh ya, some funny observations i spotted in the gym..

a. the guys toilet at the stained glass panel facing out had a hole of stained glass scratched off, ie u can peek from outside.
b. the gals in the gym all are either accompanying their boyfriends, or are really sporty gals themselves...something like Elva Hsiao that kind...healthy looking.
c. the gym mirror, is a favourite for many of the guys...haha. i hate mirrors though...or rather i hate the sight of myself..
d. old people visit the gym too!! and it's great to see them for it means the gym is really for everybody~~

That roughly sums up the experience at the gym, in conclusion, i seem to like it very much although i'm one of those weaklings at the gym.. hahaha. many thanks to my brothers, Alex and Kevin, who were there to give support and help and advice!! yay~

Let's move on...shall talk about stuff I've learnt...

During the week, Miaoyan asked me whether if I wanted a drink but I replied her by shaking my head and without looking at her. Soon after, I recalled the experience in army camp where Francis threw in a very alarming message about me... yes, again I sought his advice and he said it was indeed very rude. I have endeavoured since then to be less self-absorbing, and more friendly for i can see that she has been trying her best in getting me to mix around with the other colleagues... i've always been engrossed in my stuff so much...(i know Charles gonna give me a lecture again) i have started to improve a bit...heh. it takes time, and certainly a good lesson to review. Thanks a million to Francis and Miaoyan!!

Next, in the fishball show 同心圆, there was a particular scene which I caught where Dayang (Pierre Png) was at the toy dispenser machine, turning the knob one time after another as he couldn't get the doggy toy his beau (Baobei aka 美人鱼) wanted. She was pretty sad in that scene as she didn't want to get married with her current boyfriend, so Dayang tried his best to cheer her up...

Lesson here to me is, sincerity really counts here! I shouldn't really expect to get hitched anytime soon if I continue to be do only a bit here and there. I guess although it's paiseh to really do so much for someone you like, it's worth it ba... i dunno.. i have never done so much for anyone in particular before...always been doing bits and pieces for everyone...like i said, i'm still learning to be a MAN...what the hell is with being 'paiseh', with losing face, with doing so much for just one person...it's all worth it. Hahaha.

The final lesson i want to recall was from Yingzie.. she told me I tend to 'argue into another objective', in the sense, i tend to veer into the next topic before concluding one nicely...haha. this is one hard nut to crack!! perhaps i need to think less and let the other flow the conversation first...absorb more and think about how to answer better. Be it MSN or face-to-face or through the phone, seriously, it's all very important to the person you are speaking to.

Oh well, I need to end this now for it's time to go play badminton with my mother! haha.. She's bugging me to go downstairs now..okie. Lessons learnt, experience gathered, fun moments shared, sad moments thrown away...life's a great thing!
