Never had a day like this before.
Had half-boiled eggs and iced milo for breakfast, went back to mop the floor and some house-husbanding chores... and at 2.30pm, started my long day.
Headed to the gym for some exercises with my sister's fiance.
First did Squats, 3 sets of 10reps of 50kg, with an additional drop set being 3reps of 60kg, 5reps of 50kg, 7reps of 40kg and 10reps of 30kg.
Moved onto lunges with barbell overhead, 3sets of 10reps per leg.
Next, Hamstring exercise which I couldn't really get the hang of. Needs serious work there. Ahem.
Did with the machine instead and slightly better:
3 sets of 10reps per leg. Weight 4kg. With the last set being 3reps of 3kg, and 7reps of 2kg.
Next, it was chest exercises...
The lower chest, 3 sets of 10reps of 30kg.
Mid-chest, same.
Upper chest, same.
Lastly, was abs, with 2 sets of 30 reps of crunches, followed by 2 sets of (5 leg raise to the middle, 5 leg raises to the left, and 5 leg raises to the right... ) and then well, not too sure of how you would describe the exercise but straightening legs, and opening up a V and closing it for 5 reps at about 30cm off the ground, followed by 45°, 5reps. and 90° 5reps. followed by lifting butt up with sheer abs strength for 5reps.
That was it!
But I added a 10laps breast stroke after.
Went to had fish soup dinner at Tiong Bahru with a yoghurt dessert.
Reached home at 6pm and left to meet friend for swimming training at CCAB.
Swam a good 2km i guess?
Warm up of 300m close-fisted front crawl,
200m with pool buoy.
5 x 200m of which I did 4.
and lastly, 10 x 100m of which I did.... 4 also. hahaha simply too shag from the gym earlier on.
Now, I'm all ready for a good night's rest.

A First...
After dinner, I took a slow walk down Orchard looking for Cheng Tng, among the crowd, there's only one thing to do. Not to let attention stray and be distracted by the christmas lightings and the crowd... just to keep walking and walking, bearing focus on one thing.
After about the few months that have gone by, it's a first that I felt the simple joy and satisfaction of having company down a busy street... after having walked in the crowd alone most of the time. Well, but of course good things come to an end as long as the clock ticks and time slips away right? Festive joys are made-believes, they don't last and it stays that way... As long as you cherish the moment and savour the bitter-sweet after taste; nothing else matters right?
Anyway... not much presents but definitely some presence.. who says I'm materialistic?
Merry Christmas mes amis.
Have a jolly end-of-year festive mood.

words... and the beauty of tunes
In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing
In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

And the way that we feel

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Still feeling
Very often it's feelings and emotions that get us down. More downs than ups usually...
Many times as well one reminds oneself that one should control and regulate so as to be a master of one's emotions. To be self-contented and not swayed by circumstances or people. But then again, how successful can we be?
All (good or bad) things come to an end, so why later and not now? why sooner and not later?
Anyway, it's just a random emo evening.
Things will get back to normal once the sun shines again tomorrow. (if it shines and not pour like mad like it did today).
