climbing & production
Climbing yesterday was tiring. Been out of the sport for more than a month and I've already lost the touch. Totally no strength to pull myself up anymore. SO gotta do more workouts, on my arms especially. I'm already looking forward to next week's climb! Haha... can't wait!
Despite the disappointing climb, it was a hilarious time hanging out with Suf and Saiful. Tons of humuliation on my part, showing them my disgraceful front and back rolls, as well as my attempts at cartwheels. Thanks Suf, for making a fool and getting out of my 10-min rut from my phobia of making the first move for the cartwheels. Haha!
Swimming lessons start next Tue... so exciting! Yet to buy an appropriate costume yet though so gotta go shopping tomorrow. Saw Vanessa on the MRT, together with George. Shameless as I am, I was the lightbulb, disturbing their dating time. Hehe...
Blue Rivers Production came in to SWAMI for filming today. Watched them film and it just brought me back to my MCM days. How I miss those hectic productions! Haha... spoke to the director and learnt so much on local production houses. So much more than what they taught in school about them at least. Hehe...
Will be donating my stuffed toys, old PC and some clothes and books. Then I'll start to clean up and start painting my room! hehe... all right! New look for the new year!

swimming and climbing
It's back to the bare elements - water and earth... well, fake earth nonetheless, but still, I'm getting back to my fav activity - rock climbing!
Haven't been climbing for sooooo long! And I miss it so, really! Will be meeting up with my climbing khakis once again - Suf and Saiful. Yay! I can't wait! I'm so bustling with energy.
I've also just registered for swimming lessons. Sure, it's kinda humiliating taking swimming lessons at 20 at a public pool. But who cares? I just wanna learn how to swim. Haha... I think it's a great sport, something worth learning and I'd rather spend some cash and learn it right. Yay! Looking forward to that too! Haha...
Went shopping yesterday with Dan, Wei Xian, Chen Mei, Wei Te, Wing and Irene. Finally got Dan his Xmas present (a belated one though)! Something he picked and he really likes ~ a Adidas jacket! It's the jacket for Germany for World Cup, I think. Wei Xian got the Japan one and I got him the Germany one cos he likes it soooo much, although initially I thought it looked weird on him - made him look like a F1 racer. Haha! Cos of the stripes, I'd think... But after seeing him show it off with a gleam in his eyes, I think it looks good on him. Haha!
Ho got me something as well - something which I have been eyeing for quite some time - the bag that I've wanted for soooo long! I initially wanted to get a white one, but they didn't have the colour in the size I wanted, so no choice, forced by the circumstances, I had to get the orange/brown one. But I like it! It kinda looks retro and classy. Nice! Don't even bear to use it yet and it's still in its packaging. Hehe. Will prob give it an opening ceremony during CNY. Yay! So happy!

xmas!
Merry Christmas to one and all!
Spent Christmas over at Chen Mei's place today. Painted her room a lovely avocado green and helped her rearrange her furniture to take in the new queen sized mattress. A good way to spend Xmas eve, helping someone redecorate her room together with other pals.
It also gave me motivation to make-over my room as well. Been thinking about repainting my room turquoise and white, then rearranging my furniture and getting new accessories and curtains, as well as a new queen sized bed. Hehe... perhaps that will be my next agenda - to redo my room. Been so long since I've done anything to it anyways.
Tomorrow's Xmas day; gonna spend it at a BBQ in the evening with pals over here in Bukit Batok. Hope the weather holds up. :)
Merry Christmas everyone!

narnia
Watched yet another disappointing show today. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.
The trailers and the hype make it seem like such a good movie, yet another block-buster not to be missed. Well, to me, it was just another over-hyped movie with nothing much to boast about.
The story just didn't do it for me. Kinda fell short on expectations.
Watched the movie from the director's seat in the cinema. Haha... first time. Great seats by the way. Comfy sofas, all the way back (a bit too far back though), tables on the side.
But somehow, people look at you and think "Aiyah, nv pay for the seat still dare to sit there! SO buay hiao pai." when in fact, you've paid the full freaking $32 for that seat! Haha... oh wells, at least we know we deserve that seat, and no one who didn't pay for the seats took them too! Haha!
Anyways, been unlucky with movies recently. Whatever I watched fell short of my expectations. Argh...

sports for life?
Sports for life? That's what I'm looking at right now. Perhaps it's what I should do... Perhaps I should just go with my heart and go for it.
Currently just started writing for a website reporting on international basketball. It doesn't pay, but at least I'm finally writing again and on something I really enjoy too. It's nice, and I really like this. Do visit http://www.asia-basket.com/sin/sin.asp for reportings on the local basketball scene. I've merely just submitted my first article, so yet to see how that goes!
It's finally good to have a dream, an aim, once again. Perhaps more than I could ever be, but at least it's good to dream and to have something to work towards. 2 different paths, but one thing which stands in the way currently - swimming. I really must get myself acquainted with the water soon.

the promise
One of the most highly acclaimed movies of this year - The Promise. A humongous budget, a total of 6 prominent characters (excluding the 23,000 strong army), and as an entry film for an international film fest.
Though highly-regarded, critics have been brutal about it, slaying it with reviews of merely 2 out of 5.
Having watched the movie myself, I must say, that although it had amazing CG effects, some great music, and some wonderful scenes with cool camera shots, the story was just, well, dumb. Perhaps it's supposed to be an arty-farty film and common viewers like myself miss the point of it all. But come on, the whole basis of the story is crappy. A feud that began since childhood? Something so unforgivable committed by an innocent child? And what does it all have to do with the goddess? It all just went downhill at the end.
What's supposedly a climatic ending with twists and turns turned out to be something just laughable and totally head-scratching. The story is just too far-fetched, too unrealistic, too fantasy-based.
The good side of the film, though, was the great scene work. Some wonderful shots in there made the film so watchable. Plus, the great fight scenes and scenery makes it more pleasurable. Also commendable is Nicholas Tse's acting - as a bitter,effeminate villain whom you love to detest. So cool, yet so girly at the same time. Where can you ever find such a character? The only character I've seen with similar traits was Zhang He in the PS2 game, Dynasty Warriors. Oh, the costumes for the show were soooooo pretty too! So flowy and light for the females, and the armour for the warrior, nice. Nicholas Tse's character's costume was nice as well, with his weapons and all.
The only bad thing in the costume department? Getting the warrior to wear the same clothes, a couple outfit, with the beauty in the show. The outfit? It's a flowy, long, dress-like, pyjamas-like outfit. Looks wonderful on the beauty, played by real-time beauty Cecilia Cheung, but looks like a joke on the warrior.
Well, all in all it's not that bad... as long as you don't mind anti-climatic endings.
Oh, thanks bb for the pink rose. It's soooo pretty! So sweet of you! Muacks!

where to go now?
Same ol' question once again - where to go now?
Made creamy oyster mushroom pasta today. Yummylicious, I must say. So wonderful! Who said shitake's the way to go for creamy sauces? Hah!
Anyways, spent half of the day baking batches of cookies - mostly for my colleagues, as well as some for this Saturday. It's Christmas Day! Gonna have a BBQ then, a Christmas celebration with Dan and his pals.
Still stuck on the same question - what should I do? Study? What to study? NIE? Perhaps... I dunno... I need some answers, I need some guidance!

volunteering
Happy Holidays peeps! Christmas is fast arriving and before we know it, a new year has begun!
It's been a hectic year for me - graduating and coming into the work force. Something that's exciting yet definitely not easy at all. With me working almost 6 days every week due to work committments, it's been such a tiring month or so.
Our 3 days of living alone, a test-run to living together as a couple, went quite well. But now i totally understand why couples always say they have no time to make love. It's real tiring to go home after work and have to cook and all, while ensuring you get enough sleep for work on the next day.
We cooked for all the three nights, and even though it was tiring, it wasreally satisfying and fun, sampling how to cook these different dishes and having friends over for our home-cooked dinner.
Had a scrumptious one yesterday, with Jac as our guest. The dishes? Chilli crab, steamed pomfret, bean sprouts, steamed egg with meat. Yummy... just thinking about itmakes me hungry. *drools*
I think I can get used to this life. Being together with someone I love and care for, doing things together as mundane as cooking and washing up can become so interesting and sweet.
Days and weeks of hard work finally came to an end today. SWAMI had its Christmas Celebration with the help of various volunteers amounting to almost 150! Lots of thanks to the organisers of the event, our new regular volunteer base members, as well as the performers and the SPvolunteers and others as well. It's really amazing how wonderful it feels to know that you are bringing joy into other people's lives and how you can make them smile by just that one small gesture.
I was previously burnt out from this job. But with the newly garnered satisfaction received from today's celebrations, I'm recharged and ready to find out more and contribute more to this organisation. How long this flame will burn, I'll never know. But I think I should enjoy this while it lasts, instead of looking forward to something new when I haven't reaped enough from this current job.
It does call for a lot of out-of-office work (those late-night meetings, Saturday afternoons) but it was all worth it when we managed to make so many elderly happy. It greatly pleases me to see so many people gather together to contribute to such a wonderful cause and to bring so much joy to the residents in SWAMI.
Burnt and in need of a recharge...

idiosyncrasies
Here's my list of idiosyncrasies, as ordered by Sonia Ong Yin Li~ heehee
1) I'm a worry-wart. I worry when I should, and I worry when there's absolutely no need to. I am the exact opposite of the happy-go-lucky man on the street. Tell me that an asteriod will hit earth (which I did read about in the papers actually) and I will think it's the end of the earth. I actually did think that armegeddon was going befall upon us on New Year's Eve 2000. Yes, I worry the heck out of nothing.
2) I cry... a lot. I cry when I'm upset, I cry when I'm happy, I cry when I'm worried, I cry when I'm sick. Basically, I cry a LOT. I've always been a cry baby since young anyways. I guess it's in the genes. This is one that gets on Dan's nerves... a lot.
3) I hate it when people address me by my full name. ABSOLUTELY HATE IT! DETEST IT! Ok? Get it now???
4) I'm a perfectionist who is lazy by nature. I want things done my way, but I'm also lazy to do it the best I can. That sounds like a contradiction, but oh wells, you get what I mean right?
5) I, like Ms Sonia Ong Yin Li, am also a competitive gal. Above that, I'm also narcissistic. I think I am the best and I aim to beat people down. I play games with the hope of winning, although I always say that I'm not out to win. Case in point, my entry on me gloating after winning Dan's nephew in a children's game. Yes, I am THAT loathsome.
6) I am indecisive. Ask me what I want to do and I'll say "I dunno. Anything lor." I am the worst first date candidate. I am the type with all objections, no suggestions. I will tell you I don't want to do, but I won't be able to tell you what I want to do. Confused? Well, don't be. Cos even I am sometimes confused by what's going on in my mind too. Which leads me to my next point...
7) I am an emotional whirlwind. I can be moody in a minute and a crazy wacko psycho bitch the next. My mind is just mood-swinging like crazy. At times I'm a loner, while other times I'm a talkative bratty nuisance. If you don't believe this, you can alwasy check with Dan and his pals. They're always on the receiving end of my non-stop nonsensical rantings.
8) I'm a control freak. I need everything to be in order, in the way I like 'em. I'm less of this nowadays, I dunno why. But I guess I'll have to attribute this to my experience in group work in my poly days. It's either you are the one who talks a lot and suggests a lot, or you are the one who just keeps quiet and shuts up. I tend to give up trying to argue with the other person, i.e. the domineering person in the group, after much experience on how my thoughts just seem to make no sense when I voice them out. Sometimes I just want things done my way, and I bring out all the nonsensical and totally unreasonable reasons just to have it my way. Usually this doesn't work, so I guess yeah, that's probably why I'm less of a control freak now.
9) I love to shop and to travel. My greatest weakness? Shopping in Bangkok! Shopping for tons of shoes and bags! Which is why I also end up dreaming a lot ~ dreaming of how I can one day, perhaps, strike it rich and buy tons of stuff and go travelling like crazy. Just up and go as and when I want. Ah... the joy of shopping even when I have nothing to buy.
10) I am tight on my finances. Once again, this seems like a contradiction to my previous point. Well, this just goes to show how contradictory and how long-winded and deviating I am. Anyways, back to my point. Yes, I keep close track on my monthly expenditure. However, the figures seem to be increasing with the passing of time. That's bad... geee. Time to tighten the wallet once again. At least this is after I have already purchased tons of tops for CNY and shoes from KL. The only things missing? A new bag and new lingerie. Hah! Ok, deviating once again. Sorry!
Now's my turn to order people to do this? I liiiike. Muakakaka!!
- Danny Lim Kanson
- Charles (gee, I forgot your full name dude! But then again, can you blame me for that? haha! Just be grateful I didn't attempt to spell it out here. :{P)
- Lim Aiway (it is Lim rite?)

Sometimes I just want things done my way, and I bring out all the nonsensical and totally unreasonable reasons just to have it my way. Usually this doesn't work, so I guess yeah, that's probably why I'm less of a control freak now.
9) I love to shop and to travel. My greatest weakness? Shopping in Bangkok! Shopping for tons of shoes and bags! Which is why I also end up dreaming a lot ~ dreaming of how I can one day, perhaps, strike it rich and buy tons of stuff and go travelling like crazy. Just up and go as and when I want. Ah... the joy of shopping even when I have nothing to buy.
10) I am tight on my finances. Once again, this seems like a contradiction to my previous point. Well, this just goes to show how contradictory and how long-winded and deviating I am. Anyways, back to my point. Yes, I keep close track on my monthly expenditure. However, the figures seem to be increasing with the passing of time. That's bad... geee. Time to tighten the wallet once again. At least this is after I have already purchased tons of tops for CNY and shoes from KL. The only things missing? A new bag and new lingerie. Hah! Ok, deviating once again. Sorry!
Now's my turn to order people to do this? I liiiike. Muakakaka!!

Back from KL
It's yet another end to another wonderful trip. I love travelling! I love foreign air, sights, food and sounds!
Though I didn't feel perfectly well this trip, I did enjoy myself nevertheless, with us shopping ourselves senseless and all.
It's the first time I went travelling with Liza, Hafizah, Maz and Aisyah. Quite fun actually. We stayed in The Royale Bintang, a not-too-bad hotel. We got adjoining rooms.
The first day was spent with Liza and Hafizah. Maz and Aisyah were to arrive the next day. Anyways, we got a taste of the horrid traffic in KL on our first day there. Hafizah's cousin, who picked us up from the bus terminal, got caught in traffic and we had to wait practically45min for her! Not to mention that we got off the wrong stop and had to renavigate her to the correct one. Haha what a start to the trip yeah? Tired and 'bus-lagged'.
Anyways, went to check in (with Liza becoming Maz for the day!) and went on for the start of our crazy shopping trip! Went shopping in the same area for the few days - Sungei Wang, BB Plaza, Berjaya Times Square. Then there were the further ones - One Utama, The Curve, Ikano, and the night market in the Damansara area.
On the first day, our day ended only at 3am. Hafizah's cousin, Alia, brought us to the night market and we shopped around for hours there. The market opened only at about 11pm and we managed to grab a few good buys! Bought a Tag Heuer watch for Dan for only 20RM! Haha... fake of course, but it looks good enough. After the shopping at the night market, went on to have some late night supper at this place with a great cheese naan - totally cheesy, not to mention oily too actually. I think it was Steven's or something like tht. A Chinese hang-out area mostly.
The next day started with our resident mermaid [or Dugong, as Maz puts it! Haha!] (Liza) bugging us to go to the pool. And all thanks to the early morning dip in the freezing cold waters of the tiny pool with the streaming jets (cos we didn't manage to go into the big pool due to our dressing), I got myself a cold which caused me to sneeze the entire day, non-stop.
Picked up Maz and Aisyah (who were a bit grumpy, to be honest, but totally understandable cos we had them wait for us at the terminal cos they arrived much earlier than expected - plus they did have a long day in the bus) and headed out for shopping. The poor gals... didn't even have time to rest their feet in the hotel and we just zoomed them off to shop. Haha... headed to 1 Utama and shopped in the gigantic mall. It was another long shopping day as we headed to Ikano and The Curve after that, and the night market as our last stop.
There's this pet shop near the night market and they've these super-duper cute cats and kittens on sale there! There's this real adorable honey tht's just soooooo cute! The fluffy round face and big bright eyes! Then there was this one with deep orange-red eyes. So enchanting, yet scary at the same time. And then there was that huge tabby which looked like a mini grey tiger! Haha...
It was such a tiring day. We returned to the hotel and I had an early night, what with me feeling unwell and all.
The next day was spent in the Bukit Bintang area once again. We did some more shopping and met up with Alia in the evening, as she had to work in the day. Had dinner at Kenny Rogers (a 1/4 chicken meal with 3 side dishes and 1 scrumptious muffin for only RM12.90!) and went back to the hotel after dinner for some slack time in our rooms.
Left for home the next day, but not before I bought my 2 Goose feather pillows for only RM89! They were on half price and I've been having such great rest with the purchase. Haha... gave one to Dan and he was so delighted!
Saw these 3 kittens in the dinner stop during the bus ride back. The kittens were so adorable! So playful and cute! The pics are in my cam... will upload them soon.
The journey back was a tedious one, all thanks to the jam in JB right at the customs. Reached home at 11pm+ and had a great night's sleep on my new pillow! Haha!
My purchases from the trip? Here it goes:
1) 2 pairs of shoes from Vincci
2) 5 tube tops
3) 4 tops
4) 2 goose feather pillows
5) 1 watch for myself
6) 1 Corpse Bride DVD
7) 1 watch for Dan
8) A Nike T-shirt for Dan
9) A polo-tee for Dad
10) 2 packs of snacks for Mom
Looking forward to my next trip... Hopefully it'll be to my fav of all time, BANGKOK!

thinking too much?
You tell me not to think too much, not to think stupid thoughts. The problem, they're not stupid thoughts to me. I may really think so cos of something tht's in my mind; I mean, why else would I be thinking of that?
I'm a worry bug - i worry about anything and every thing under the sun. I wake up wondering and worrying how my day will be like, how I will spend my day at work, how will I ever learn to love what I'm doing, whether I will be able to really find something I love, is everything going to be well today... yada yada yada... I think you get what I mean rite?
Asking me not to worry, is almost like asking a sexaholic to not think about sex. Possible? Perhaps. Difficult? Definitely.
One more day till I set off for KL.
I'll miss you honey... this being the second trip without you ever since we've been together. I'll miss you terribly, you know that. No worries... I'll make up to you by buying things for you k? At least I hope I still think so when I'm in KL and spending tonnes of cash on shopping and food. :{P
