A day of shopping alone. ROCKS.
hokays, went for church service as usual today. caught up with germaine alot.hahaha.i really miss talking to u babe.and Rachel as well!we need to catch up.thats why GERMAINE LEE,pls keep your wed free.pang seh your project mates k!hahaha.
did retail therapy on my own at Ion Orchard today after lunch.haha.i dont know the reason for my retail therapy, but i used up the northface vouchers jia hua and wayne sold me.shiok. bought a pair of gloves and baselayer top, preparing for my Rocklands trip!(cant wait.seriously)
visited the THREESIXTY MARKETPLACE at level 4 in Ion..never knew this level existed until i read some food article promoting the biscuit with cheese in it.haha.cool.the supermarket sold really interesting food that you wont get to see in your normal NTUC, Cold storage, etc. but yes, the price is double as well. bought some pringles flavoured Mozerella at $4.15!!!for a normal canister.tried a little just now. not too bad.not fantastic though. Finally found this cheese biscuit the article was raving about. bought it, ate it. felt a little happy that i finally found it. felt even happier that i will not waste money buying it again.haha.the taste was pretty normal. the review mentioned something about the cheese melting in your mouth...blah blah.bullcrap.i didnt taste any of that sort.but at least i gave it a try!=)
did facial when i came home. signed up for some package. $300 for 10 sessions. i went for the trial, it was a painless black head removal procedure. so i couldnt wait to go for it again.coz my previous beautician did the extraction with the most pain i ever encountered in my life. thought this would be different.
LIAR.i teared just as much during the extraction process today. the beautician even said i had high pain tolerance. that coz i want i paid for it alr, dont wana stop the process.haha.and i just imagine the results.smooth skin.haha.that gave me motivation to bite through the pain.but i cannot imagine having to go thru it another 9 times more.God, pls give me higher pain tolerance!=)
ankle getting better by the day.PRAISE THE LORD for my speedy recovery. can jog a little.but not too much.maybe jog 1m?haha.but it still feels tired and sore after a day of walking. soon soon!i will be able to climb like i used to!
received a very wierd call at 3.30am last thursday. the guy on the phone sounded alot like a friend of mine.i thought it was him. he was whispering the whole time.saying wierd stuff u say to a loved one.i shant elaborate here. the conversation ended very abruptly and i am still spooked out by it.coz my friend said he wasnt the one who called.WHO WAS IT?

Its been a long time......
pardon for the lack of updates.been too lazy to do so.=)
so many things have happened in my life since my last post in January!gosh.lets see...went through a pretty rough patch in my relationship. but i think ive come out of it stronger!Thanks to the support of many of my dear friends. indeed, it was in such tough times that i see who my real friends are. those who stay behind and support and encourage me and not make things worse by conjuring up stories and rumours that are yet to be verified. But thank God as well, for giving me the strength to go through this tribulation. I think ive gotten closer to my God during this period.=)
and yes, the last 2 bouldering competitions!firstly, Gravicle!managed to get 5th for qualifying but ended up 7th for finals.hahaha.made a few mistakes like not being able to commit to the end move, etc. but yes, i have learnt and moved on=)
Boulderactive 2010!our very own Nus organised event!learnt alot setting routes and testing routes out. and for the actual comp itself....i couldnt believe i managed to get into the finals.because i injured myself at my 4th route. sprained my ankle pretty badly and bawled like a little kid. there must have been a dozen helping hands during that time.haha.THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH=)
was brought to Alexandra Hospital for an Xray. Doctor cannot tell what happened because there was too much swelling. sooooo.i have another appointment on 1st April!cant wait to find out what happened to my ankle. as of now. i can walk. BUT. my ankle is pretty swollen and bruised. looking very much like a DEAD FOOT with each passing day.=(
thanks to Kenneth and Chuanming who accompanied me to the hospital on that sad Saturday evening. they stayed throughout. and of course to Jay for lending us the car to drive me down. and thank you to all who have wished me well on my recovery and for the "F1" team who so efficiently carried me out of the accident area.haha.
i hope this is the last time i have to sit on a wheel chair.COMFORTABLE but extremely restraining=(
i cannot wait to climb again. each time i review my old climbing videos, i feel more and more psych to go out and climb. i've never felt so much passion burning in me to climb. probably coz of my injury that makes me unable to climb even though i want to climb. but on the bright side. this is giving me time to let my fingers recover as well=)blessing in disguise perhaps.
