Was so damn
sian at work today cos' of everything piling up and some others'
less-than-nice attitude.
But now I'm completely hyper and don't feel sleepy at all! Just a little tiredd from blading. Haha.
Uber happy with myself; bladed around 12km just now! Took damn freaking
long though..around 2 hours I think. Poor nick had to slow down his jogging to wait for me to catch up. Lol.
My strokes still aren't good however..now instead of correcting my overly-inward left leg, my right leg is following suit. Dots. Which means I end up with very tired ankles cos' of the continual strain. =x
Nevertheless..happy with my achievement! Plenty of near-falls, so really quite
heng actually.
I think I'm too tired to blog properly. Haha. Not sleepy, just exhausted. Irony, or what? =p
Yays it's friday it's
friday! No working saturday! Happiness..just need to
lun through one more work day before I get
two glorious days of weekend!! =D
Okays I just wanted to declare somewhere about blading 12km. Hahaha. Done that, happy now!
Goodnights world!
Happy birthday, stubborn cow dog! =p What a weekend this has been..went ecp with the girls from office yesterday, but short bouts of rain interrupted our blading
twice. Didn't blade much at all since BB didn't know how to; we were just hovering around the same area near her and making u-turns after every 50m or so.
And then of all things, I had to kena my
dayima. =x Was kinda hoping maybe the cramps would stay away since I've been exercising
pretty regularly but..NO. Ended up having to buy water and panadol from 7-eleven; damn bloody expensive!! Came up to
10 freaking buckeroos when I could potentially shell out no more than
5 bucks elsewhere. *faints*
BB very kindly offered to drive me home in my car, but because she had no confidence behind the wheel, I ended up driving myself home. And dropping her at kembangan mrt. Haha. Feel kinda bad that I couldn't send her home..ohwells. Luckily I didn't attempt to..it was pure
hell once I got home. Threw up a perfectly good dinner and suffered the same cramps routine as always.. =(
I seriously have no idea what will it take for the cramps to stay away.
Permanently. Exercise doesn't help!! Arghhhh.
Anyhows, got slightly better today after I popped panadol again..spent the day out with mummy and did some shopping. Not too bad a day..although I was still abit crampy throughout.
Bought 2 books just now! Finally got my hands on
the kite runner. Shall get started on it after I'm done with my library books.
And also
bought co-bought a book on dogs! Reason being, this book is written in the singapore context, for singaporean dog owners. I was still lamenting to the senior why all the dog-related books are in the USA context.
After reading through half of the library book I borrowed, skimming through the new book and discussing about dogs with the senior and my mum..I'm caught between getting a puppy or not.
Had my heart set on getting one soon (after adequate research and savings), but something kinda swayed that mindset. Not so much of the cost, nor the house-training part etc..what
really made me think twice was reading about the illnesses which dogs can develop and the potential fatality from all kinds of accidents. Reading true stories was damn heartbreaking..if something like that happened to my puppy, I'd be devastated.
It's really like caring for your own kid..in fact, even harder cos' the puppy can't talk to you. The task at hand is seriously kind of daunting; at this point in time, I'm not confident that I have all the time required to spend with my puppy, to train it perfectly and basically know how to handle all kinds of situations that can possibly arise.
Money is another factor..it's
super duper expensive to keep a puppy! All those items and tools and whatnot needed..not to mention setting aside funds for vet visits and grooming sessions so on..given my current salary, it's just not possible la. My social life will be non-existent cos' I'll have no
moolah to spend on myself at all. Hahaha.
Ah wells..not like I'll be getting one
that soon. Will take at least another 6 months to a year before I can start looking for one. And when I do..what puppy shall it be? That's the exciting part!
I've kinda narrowed down to a few choices; top of the list now are actually cavalier king charles and golden retriever. I want the latter especially! Golden retrievers are so damn gorgeous..and the biggest plus point is their loving temperament. Plus, it's a dog I can run with! What's not to like? =)
Shall spend the next couple of months doing my extensive research and visiting breeders and so on..this is one huge thing in life that I really need to think through carefully. I'm glad my parents didn't just give in to my childish fancies when I was younger and bought a puppy then; wouldn't have been able to take care of it at all! Would have been damn unfair to the poor puppy.
Ohh! And we saw the
sweetest husky just now!! Ultra hyperactive and
totally adorable. Me loves! =)
Okay enough about dogs. I could go on and on. Lol.
So fast and it's the middle of the year already..I swear time literally flies! It's kinda scary, the way the seconds and minutes and hours just pass me by..what have I really achieved in life? There are many things I want to plan for and many events I have mapped out in the short term..I don't know fortunately or unfortunately that a number of them are tentative and may never materialise.
Especially the one about enrolling in law school. I'm still thinking if it's a wise choice to revert to my childhood ambition now and study the one thing I've always wanted since I was young. What will my career path be like? Sadly though, money is one
huge obstacle. I'm certainly not "privileged" enough to have money at my disposal to spend another 3 years studying. If I do, I'll enrol in a law school overseas in a heartbeat and pursue my dreams. Or study for masters in the UK. Ohwells.
I hate having to ponder and worry over finances. It's such a yucksy feeling. Lately, I've begun to see my mum's point about my salary..it's really not helping in our current situation. Maybe I should have just applied for a govt-sector job and gotten the kind of pay I deserve with my qualifications.
Maybe there will come a day when money overrules job satisfaction. I almost dread the coming of such a day.
Okays this has been a ridiculously long post which, seriously, no one in their right mind will fully read. Haha. Just needed to get a load of things off my mind and penned in words. My form of therapy!
Back to my doggie book before I call it a night. =)
