stairway to heaven

i happen to go through the songs in my phone last night before i went to sleep and came across this korean song which is one of the main theme song for this korean drama "Stairway to Heaven" and made me feel like watching it again.

when i was studying in uni during my second year, my housemate introduce me to this drama and i was hooked! totally!

that time we only manage to watch it on tv for an hour then we have to wait everyday to catch this drama. i don't like watching drama on tv.. so i went to bought the whole set back. so me and one of my housemate did a marathon on it, the drama is quite long ...i forgot how many episodes. i remember it's exam week and my housemate is preparing for a major exam but she couldn't resist temptations...haha.... so we watched from 11pm till 8am in the morning. non stop! and continued the next day from 8pm till 5am.... wooo.... crazy! those were the days... and we finish it within 2 days..

it's still the best korean drama i've watched..... i'm gonna find the drama and watched it again...

annoying callers

i'm damn irritated by these stupid people who ask stupid questions... i used to blog about it. read it here. you know how irritating it is when you just settle down on your chair at work, your brain warming up, eyes still feeling sleepy, body still feeling tired, still rumaging through the paperwork from yesterday and you got this caller who ask stupid damn questions...

caller : can i ask about this course..
me : bla bla bla bla bla.... and you need to have experience within the pass five years!
caller : oh...i got 15 years experience at thailand ... (and he goes on and on until i snap him off)
me : is it within the pass five years??? (already feeling irritated)
caller : what do you mean within the pass five years? (noob ah!! cannot count yourself ah.... wtf!)
me : that's 2004 to 2009 !
caller : oh yes... how's the class conducted?
me : all in theory.
caller : oh.... you mean oral?
me : (wtf !! can't you understand english!!) ...... it's theory...... not oral.....theory, the instructer teach and you listen.
caller : oooh... ok. all in english?
me : yes... all in english.. no class conducted in chinese or other languages.
caller : what about those who understand chinese?
me : (damn.....can i don't answer stupid questions!!!) if they understand english then of course can attend, if
they don't, there's nothing i can do.

wtf .... it's really annoying!!!! if i work in call centre.... i will live 10 years shorter...

sea dream

i had this dream which i has been dreaming for the third time. it's really weird coz i seldom have reaccuring dream and all the three dreams have the same situation....though the scene looks a bit different.. haha..

here's the situation..

the first dream, i dreamt that i was standing on a high ground looking at the ocean, it was a windy afternoon, with some people and kids playing at the sea. after some time the clouds got thicker and heavier, the wind got stronger and suddenly the waves got so high and fierce that it seems like rising about 10 feet high.. people were running helter skleter and the waves just crash on the beach. sounds like tsunami eh....... i remember i'm pulling someone's hand..trying to save the person being swallowed into the ocean.... -the end-

then the second dream i dreamt that i rode a small boat to this island and was walking through this path to a beach with some people. when we reached, i was standing on a rock which is pretty high and looking at the ocean and some people was surfing and floating ... after that, the sea got so rough that when i look down, the sea water was whirling and i remember i try to pull someone up ... -the end-

then i had almost the same dream last night. i dreamt that i was at the beach... standing on a stairs which lead down to the beach (which is somewhere high also), looking at the sea ... saw some people napping under the tree .. and i remember i was lying down on the sand as well. this time round the sea wasn't so fierce... after a while, i felt something wet on my feet and when i stood up...the sea water start flooding the beach, the water rose so quickly that i ran to the stairs and saw a woman fainted that i try so hard to pull her up from being drowned. -the end-

see..haha.... all almost the same... i wonder if there's any meaning to it..

boring sports

alright...i want to put a disclaimer first. what seems boring to me doesn't means it's boring to others and there may be some activities i do may seems boring to others as well.

this is just part of my opinion.

i think fishing is boring. so what's the fun with lowering your fishing line into the water and wait like forever for the fish to eat your bait and when it does, you just need some strength to pull it up. b.o.r.i.n.g. sorry to those who love fishing but i can't understand what's the excitement with pulling up the poor fish in pain and people jumping with joy like they kena lottery. alright... probably it's the pride and joy of catching a fish and comparing how big your fish are. i don't have the patience for fishing. the last time i went fishing which is like decades ago with my uncle, my whole leg and arm got sting by mosquito like as if i'm going there to feed the mozzies.

yoga. i think it's pretty boring. i went to this yoga class with a friend for the first time and i'm sure it was the last. all i know they ask you to be in one position for like 5 or 10 minutes and in the end, i remember we have to lie down ...i think to cool down....just that... i fell asleep. haha..... i feel beh shiok if i don't sweat during exercise.

ok... i think golf is boring. if i play 18 holes, i think by the 5th one i might give up. haha.... you hit a ball and you walk like don't know how far to find the ball and hit it again.

well, different people different interest. some people might think running is boring ...

anyway.... i saw this collection of mini wooden handicraft ducks display at this shop... so cute and very beautiful.... how i wish i could own it but it's too expensive .....

kids story

it has been a really dry week. not much happening except it kept raining all the time and when i don't plan to jog today, the weather is so nice. recently when i jog around my neighbourhood, so many people jogging. i guess all training for the upcoming standard chartered marathon.

went back to jb last week, the little boy and his second sister came and one of my cousin and his sister came too. haha... i love the way how he kids talk. so honest and funny, you really couldn't expect what will come out from their mouth. sometimes they take you by surprise.

this little boy's second sister and my cousin are actually in the same primary school, same age - in primary two and just next class to each other. so this girl always report back to my mum what my cousin did in school, whether he got punished, involved in a fight and so on.

there's this one time this girl caught my cousin standing in front of his classroom with both hands pulling his ear and she told my mum about it and my mum ask my aunt, who is taking care of my cousin (this is so complicated) if she know why he got punish. my aunt asked my cousin and he deny it saying this girl saw the wrong person. hahaha.... i think he has been very careful in school now since then..

last week seems like so many people giving out candies in office...

before the new year sets in, there are a lot of things i need to sort out.... like arranging my pictures which i have been taking ages to do it.... i was alternating betwen arranging it and watching drama and i end up watching drama all the way and forgot about my mission...

conversations

sometimes i really do have funny dreams but most of them i forgot by the time i woke up... the other night i dreamt that my parents sold off my car ... :(

me : mum, where's my car???

mum: oh, we sold it off and replace it with this car. (it's a BLUE aeroback 2 doors, looks like satria but i can't exactly remember what car is it)

me: why you never ask me first?? i love my car... why you sold it off and replace with this BLUE car.

mum: your car is too small ..

me: but ...you can always use your own car if mine is too small...*very sad*

then i got no other choice but to drive around with this BLUE car..... end of story, actually i can't remember what happen next. haha.... if you ask me why i capitalise BLUE ... well, blue is not really my favourite colour.. it looks good on certain things like shoes (ok, i got a blue sneakers)... but on car, i just don't like it.

last night i had a chat with my junior, amoz and i try to physco him to get a blackberry instead of an iphone. haha.... i'm a bb evangelist though i don't own one yet.... i will ! haha...and we're debating and proving which one is better ...

a : how much iphone 3gs cost in sg?

me : don't know leh... should be around $1000++

a : ooh... i thought of getting one....

me : oh... but i think BB is better... more feature...compare to iphone..

a : really...like? blackberry can produce blackcurrent + berries juice. iphone only produce apple juice.

me: hahaha.. ok ..that's lame.

this one happen a few months ago and my mum told me this which me and my god sis can't stop laughing at it.
there's this one morning my mum was at the kitchen and the little boy (gy) which my mum took care was playing computer games at the living room facing the main door and suddenly my mum heard a woman screaming outside at the road. which is obviously the woman got robbed by an idiot riding a motorcycle. my mum went to the living room look outside and asked the boy....

mum : gy, what happen?

gy: oh, the woman dropped her umbrella....

Great Eastern Woman Run 10Km

how i realise i left my camera in jb was when i was packing for my run the night before.... panic a bit but i was very sure i left it at jb. well.... pictures have to taken with phone.

it was raining heavily the night before and was hoping it won't rain in the morning. it didn't, the weather was cooling which is perfect... haha... but on my 7th km...it had light drizzle..

i reached like 15 mins before the race started ... so got a bit of time to simply take pics .. it's a woman run...so no man allowed...

took a lone pic ...my running partner not here yet :( i was lost in the crowd so i have to run first and we have to meet only at the end...

the running tracks was mostly straight.... i like it... not many uphill and not so crowded as well... maybe there's no man.. haha...

actually i don't what to blog about a run, so me and linny did it again... 10km... and i finish at 1 hour 10 minutes 44 seconds.

continue.....

i was checking for some photos of the GE run and i saw this ... key in my bib number and a whole lot of result of my run came out... i'm impressed!

Result in entire field - 2045th place (3396 finishers behind, about 38% finisher ahead)

Result in Division (Women Open) - 988th place (2208 finisher behind, about 31% finisher ahead)

I passed 310 runners and 130 runners passed me.

my average speed is 8.5 Kph/ 5.3 Mph

Still got bird's eye view of my finishing some more.. haha... the green dot is me.. but too small to see from here.

My speed for the first half is 8.6 Kph and 8.3 Kph for second half. Still got this chart to show my location when selected leaders crossed the finish line.
