Cycling at ECP


Since the number of dance classes reduced greatly, I've decided to find myself other activities to make up for my 7hours of exercise per week KPI. Cycling at ECP on sun happens to be one of the "replacement" activity. I love the beach. or rather water... I think water has a calming effect on me somehow, probably because it's my core element?
Anyway, it's been a great cycling trip even though I got sunburnt and sore bum after that. Peaceful afternoon... and Sunset Bay was lovingly quiet. Saw this brown doggie running about in the beach and the next moment, saw another white doggie being pushed around on a trolley. That dog totally nua-ed on the trolley. So cute. hehe. The unfortunate thing is I wasn't able to take any photo with my lomo camera. The device got stuck and I exposed all my film when I tried to take it out. Sadz.
Guess I'll try to make Sun cycling a regular event from now on. But the next time, I'll remember to apply more sunblock and bring spare film. bleah.

郁闷。

关于昨天申请的假期,老板今天婉转的告诉我,说她建议我七月才去旅行。 这根本就是宣判我死刑, 告诉我我的假期将不被批准。 真的让人很生气。 因为队里的其他同事都已经,或即将要轮流出国了。唯独我的假期,因为在四月,处于所谓的繁忙时期,所以被否定了。 这一切的一切,都要归咎于四个星期前,我们所接到的劳动炸弹。 要不是这些炸弹,我哪会被壮烈牺牲掉。

所以,我真的非常非常非常非常(乘于一千万次)非常的生气!

我想我现在急需一个沙包,让我可以揍个痛快。
我也需要一个可以到达富士山顶的神奇升降机,让我可以站在顶峰高喊泄恨。

但这一切也只是说说而已。 在火山即将爆发之际,我选择了跑步。而跑完之后,就这么躺在操场上,仰望着天上的星空。。。将双脚朝向天空,突然有种我在独立撑起一片天的感觉。天空很美,星星很美,可是我却好渺小哦。

虽然我的心情是平复了不少,但我想那股郁闷应该会一直伴随着我,直到我七月的大逃亡。真的好闷。。。 。。。

Travel plans constantly thwarted. Fed up!

Are there moments when you feel that the whole world is out to get you? I feel that way today. Travel plans in Apr seem to be constantly thwarted by fate, making me feel super irritated. Sudden urge to just quit and go backpacking now, without caring about work etc. But of course, I won't be able to do that yet.

The irritating thing, as most of you would have heard from my stories the past one-two weeks, my japan trip is screwed because of poor planning. I basically only have 7 days in Osaka to view sakura, which is too long for osaka alone and too short + expensive if I incorporate a trip to Okinawa along the way. Can't take more than a week off work due to two project bombs, and I missed the long weekend cos of Langkawi trip over Good Friday. So in short, it's screwed.

Just when I made up mind last night to settle for somewhere less exciting i.e. Taiwan, my parents tell me today that Bro's heading there for wedding shoot so the whole family may want to travel together to Taiwan later part of the year. Thank you ah. -_-"

It's a setback. But I've decided to heck care. Travel options will be as follows currently:-
1. Taiwan (10 days)
2. Hong Kong (5 days)
3. Vietnam/ Cambodia/ Bangkok? (10 days)
4. Osaka/ Okinawa (that is if i decide to ignore sakuras and pricey air tix).

Backpack alone or find companions? I'm not sure yet. Feel the impulse to just get tix alone and then decide. whatever and whatever and whatever... I dun care already. FED UP!

A morning routine


This is what i see every morning. Snaking queues of vehicles heading towards AYE. This is also possibly the amount of vehicles that i would have to overcome when i cross the road to take the bus. Super sianz right?

Japan Travel 2010

Got a lil' exasperated the last two months when people started asking me if my April Japan trip was confirmed. Truth was I haven't been planning for it and the supposed-to-be travel group was really quiet about it so I couldn't confirm who I was going with, when etc... was also at a loss if I should dedicate two weeks of my time solely to osaka or get the train pass to travel elsewhere which I had no idea where... Then I had a shock last week, when I realised that sakura in osaka would bloom by first week of Apr. My initial plan was only to go Japan in late Apr, and if so, I would have totally missed the sakuras . That was like my dream for this year really. I hope I really get to see them and take lots of photos. ha :)

Other ideas also formed when I chanced upon an ANA airfare where domestic flight to okinawa/ sapporo would only cost $250. This means that in total, I would be spending $650 + $250 for osaka & okinawa, which is cheaper than what i expected. hmm. sounds like I've got a great plan there, haven't I?

So now, at least for the time being, I think I will stick to travel to Japan between 4 - 18 Apr (2 weeks, osaka and okinawa). It would be easier to plan that way i guess.

Wish me luck. The countdown officially begins. :)
