i tried calling Optus (melbourne phone company) this morning to transfer my broadband from my current place to my new one. anyway...to the point.... i was put on hold for almost an HOUR!!!!!!! i dont care where u come from, that is totally unacceptable. and wait...it gets better.
when i finally got thru.... here's what happened:
me: hello. i'd like to transfer my optus broadband internet to a new address.
optus dude: does your new address have an existing optus connection.
me: erm...no.
optus dude: oh, sorry. in that case you'll have to call the home mover's extention. i can give u the number but they're not open on weekends.
me: (stunned). oh..... ok.
optus dude: you can call 1300555241 after 8am on monday. thank you. bye.
i was too stunned. you mean i had been waiting for AN HOUR for a 2 minute conversation that accomplished next to nothing!?!?!?!?
the rest of the day was good. moved more stuff to my new apartment in the day. watched rocky balbao (downloaded..hehe). its pretty good. better than i expected.
went to yongsi's at night with esther n wiwie to have bbq. it was so nice...the 4 of us talking and gossiping (and eating!). i dunno wat it is, but no matter how long its been since JC, i still feel that whenever we SB3 ppl get together, theres a closeness that i cant explain. i dont know wats gonna happen in the future...(some of us have are already married!!).. but i hope we'll continue to keep in touch.

moving house
tuesday is the big day.
i arranged with the moving company this morning, and they'll be here on tuesday.
the last two days have been a torture... largely its my fault bcos ive bought so much JUNK since i came to melbourne. (most of which.oddly enough, happens to be superman paraphanalia)
not to mention all the architecture models that are littered throughout the apartment. oh, and the little bits and pieces of leftover archi materials too. i think ive figured it out... usually when i build a model, i'll have a bit of leftover cardboard or foam core, and i'll jus chuck it in a corner "for later use". but when the time comes to build a new model, i jus go out n buy MORE materials... and then chuck the remainder in the corner again and the cycle repeats itself till now that small pile in the corner has become a HUGE LOAD of junk.
i for one believe in 'cleaning everything all at once..ONE SHOT!' rather than 'a little bit each day'. my mom would beg to differ....
today i also had to perform a very sad duty.....removing my beloved star wars episode 1-6 posters from my living room wall. although i suspect that it didnt bode too well with the ladies, i liked em up there anyways. gonna miss them in the new place cos i doubt my housemate would approve of me covering the walls with them.
in other unrelated news...i went for yongsi's b-day bbq on wednesday. esther and wiwie were supposed to come too, but they had to work late...so i went down to clayton by myself. met some of yongsi's mooonash frens. really nice people...easy going. i like. and we had chocolate fondue!! ITS NICE!!!
going back to her place for another bbq on sun...this time WITH esther n wiwie...to finish up the leftover food. hahaha.

HOOOOOOOT
the temperature today is......39 degrees!!!!!!
i wish i could just stay in all day in air-con comfort, but i have to go for a lecture right smack at noon. sigh... staying at home and playing FIFA sounds tempting.

after one week of summer school, ive come to the following conclusion...
history sucks.
it used to suck. it still sucks. and it will always suck.
argh... im jus a little on edge now after spending most of the day working on my class paper. (due on monday!!!). didnt expect to be doing so much work so early in the sem. still very much on holiday-mode.
at least if they're gonna make us study history (which i already find to be entirely irrelevant), at the very least make us study RECENT history like say within the past 50 years or so. That way, theres a high chance that we can actually APPLY the stuff we learnt into our designs and theres also a high chance that the architects we studied are still ALIVE. this sem im studying "modern" architecture in the 17th and 18th century. thats like AGES AGO!!! EVERYBODY IS DEAD! (excuse my bluntness). the architectural theories that they practiced then.....NOBODY CARES ABOUT THEM NOW!!!
like i said.....on edge.
i played some FIFA to try and ease the stress, but i lost 5-2 to sunderland!!!! only served to add to my stress.
things should get better after monday. i hope. i submitted my resume to Nandos this evening. hope i can get a job there, even though time really doesnt permit that right now. but i need the money. haha. gotta start planning for orientation soon too. need to find ways to sucker more innocent freshies into the Singapore Student Society. bwahahahahahaah!!!

im back!
wow. didnt realise how long its been since i last posted an entry till i saw the date on the last post... 4th dec!!! holy crap!!! ive been a total slacker (blogwise of course).
well, first thing's first..... UNI HAS STARTED!!! BAAAAHHH!!!! damn sian.
had my first lecture yesterday and first tutorial today. the lecturer is this old dude who wears a bowtie (wtf!) and speaks veryfastwithnopausesbetweenhiswordskindalikethis.
i was trying to stay awake the whole lecture. usually i just succumb to the z-monster and doze off, but in summer sch there are only like 15 students in one lecture, so if u sleep, EVERYBODY can see! still....i think i dozed off a few times for a few seconds. cannot tahan. good thing is, the lectures are recorded. thank you technology!!
feels really weird here now that satiish, marie and grace have left for spore. we had such a great holiday. thanks you guys. you made it so fun! "Its Nice!" "Great Success!"
the apartment is very quiet now. i leave the TV on when im bumming ard, otherwise its too creepy.
and in BIIIIIIGGGG NEWS.........
I HAVE A NEW APARTMENT!!!!!!!!
yes my new address (for people who will be sending me nice birthday presents. hehe) is....
30/36 Drummond Street, Carlton, Victoria 3053
i just got the keys today! so excited! haha. its a 2nd storey apartment in a secure compound with low rise buildings only about 4 storeys. the landscaping is quite nice, and altho its farther from the city as my current place, its a LOT cheaper... which means more money for me to spend...heh heh. (mmm....comics......road bike......)
trying to get a job now. summer sch only takes up one or two hours a day, so ive got lots of time to kill. somebody hire meeeee!

after 2 years, i can put my demons to rest
completed the spore marathon this morning.
as i crossed the finish line, i thought about the time 2 years ago when i injured myself training for the same event. I felt like shit then, and i promised myself that i'd come back and run it again someday.
crossing that finish line today was SWEEEEET AS!
didnt do too good timing wise tho.... 4hrs 6mins.
Its about 20 mins faster than my previous marathon, but i still wanted to do better. Thought that i could've gone below 4hrs. oh well...that for my next marathon. hahaha. dunno when that'll be. in so much pain now that i cant think about doing another one for a while.
the weather today was great tho. NO direct sun. overcast sky. perfect. i shudder to think what my timing wouldve been had the sun been out in full force. bottom line....spore weather was not meant for running marathons. for suntanning maybe, for drying clothes fast maybe.....but for marathons, NO!
satiish and i went to BK after the run and whacked two burgers (one with meal). felt like the ending scene in harold and kumar (after all, we WERE two chinese and indian dudes eating fast food in a shag state. haha). knees killing me now. hopefully no long term damage. we'll see.... will prob go for a recovery run on wed.

home is where the humidity is
its been 6 days now since i landed in spore. finally got out of my lazy spell and decided to blog.
i find it funny... blogging is one of those things that when you dont do it for a while, you keep procrastinating adding another entry day after day...but when you finally get down to typing that entry, you feel better and want to blog MORE. i was gonna say "in that way, its kinda like studying"...but then again after i study a little, i dont feel like doing more. so i guess its different. haha.
A short recap of whats been happening:
sat - went to collect marathon race packet with satiish. jalan-jalan ard suntec for a bit, then went home.
sun - went to east coast and met with khal and danielle. we rented blades. FUN! went to NTU afterwards to run with satiish. it was the most PAINFUL run EVEEEERRRRRRRR. we did a 2hr run in prep for the marathon. but it only made us realise how NOT ready we are. at the 1hr30mins mark, both of us "hit the wall" and the last half an hour was just pure torture. if not for the finisher's tee, i think i wouldnt be running this sun. hahaha. we were so dehydrated afterwards that we whacked 4 drinks back to back to back to back. went to suresh's place to watch man u chelsea that night. once again, i realise that i NEED to get foxtel in australia.
mon - woke up in PAIN. rest of the day was sluggish...feeling the muscles aching all over. cant remember what i did on monday....hmmm..... must be the post-2hr-run memory lapse.
tues - watched movie with satiish then went to bukit batok to have POWER BRIYANI!!! and MILO GODZILLA!!! hahahaha. damn nice.
wed - met satiish at NTU at 7-frickin-am in the morning. havent woken up so early in a loooong time. but no choice....cos we were going for a 10km run, and by 8am its pretty hot already. afterwards, we went to this new swimming complex in jurong. not bad....had onc nice long slide. no wave pool tho =(
thurs - collected my new specs! but my degree went up =(.... too much photoshopping in front of my small laptop screen. my mom says its too much psp....but we all know thats NOT TRUE!
going to NUS to visit suresh tmr. his exams are over on monday. cant wait!! we got lotsa FIFA and PASTA to catch up on!

the slide test kinda sucked.
didnt know about 15 out of 60 questions...and several more that i got wrong. looks like im gonna get about 60%. shit. was really hoping the slide test was gonna pull up my marks.
needed to unwind after the test.... so decided to run to williamstown (part of my hopeful attempt to get my marathon training back on track). took about an hour to run there...and an hour back. thats the longest ive run since last year's marathon....and man did i feel it! suuuuuper pain after 1hr30min mark. muscles hurting left, right, centre. and thats only about 28km...still got another 12km more to go. sigh...die lah. that PLUS the hot n humid spore weather will ensure that i WILL suffer a lot. will aim for a 2.5hr run later this wk.... i think thats as far as im gonna train. The knee is still holding up well, thank goodness.
got a lot of mugging to do today. the written exam tmr, which initally i planned to be my weakest link, now looks like it HAS to be the one thing that pulls up my grade. thats not a good thing.
back to the books! ta

i fell off my bike today.
in broad daylight at a very busy intersection. damn pai seh.
i bought new pedals (the clip kind that secure your shoe to the pedal) from Cam for real cheap.
I practiced a bit in the car park clipping them on and off...and after about 10 mins i thought i was ready to hit the road.
WRONG!
at the FIRST traffic light, on an upslope, i had already clipped in my left shoe and was in the midst of pushing off and trying to clip in the right shoe...BUT i missed the clip and so i tried to gain my balance by putting my left leg on the ground...BUT of course, my left leg was already tied to the bike... so i feel flat on my side. sigh...
but that was it. just fell once. so not too bad. haha.
had a nice ride....cycled to williamstown, which is about 45mins from the city.
i DO have my first paper tmr, but needed to get outside and let off some steam.
oh shit... my first paper is tmr??!?
uh oh.
where are those lecture slides!!???!??

brain dead
not that ive been studying VERY hard lately....in fact i havent been studying too hard at all.
average about 4hrs a day. thats bad.
after final submission last wk, i have no will, no drive to study.
the fact that my hist exam isnt for almost another 2 wks doesnt help. im in the "zone" now. and no, its not the study 'zone'.
at uni now trying to compile a list of important buildings to study for the visual exam. theres just so frickin MANY. ahhhhhh! been sitting here for the past 3 hrs doing nothing but going thru a list of buildings and deciding which ones are important enough to memorise for the exam.
and my brain is dead. cant think straight. need a break. hence the blogging.
supposed to go for training today, but they were doing hills intervals, which wouldnt benefit my marathon training in any way so i decided not to go. that and because i LUUURRRVE being a slave to my history paper.
i need sugar.
i need coffee.
i need to watch Harold n Kumar.
will prob go home soon. cant take much more of this. hungry too.

back to training...oh so bad
after a month (possibly more), i finally made my return to training yesterday. daylight savings has started since then, and now finally training is in daylight! i got to break out the sunnies which, lets face it, makes you run faster! (right satiish? haha)
training session was freakin tough! we did 4 x 1200 reps.... the rest time was measured by whenever your heartrate drops to 140, which isnt much time at all. It works out to about 1 to 1.5mins between each rep.
ok...so this prob isnt the worst session we've done, but i found it so so so hard. was struggling after the 2nd set. my speedwork is gone now. sigh. i guess its a tradeoff....been doing too many long, easy runs preparing for the marathon. will start my speed training again once its over.
studying for exams arent going too good. i went to rowden white library yesterday and borrowed a hardcover x-men comic. ive already read half of it and its almost as thick as my history reader. ah, if only i could read my reader at that pace. why? why? why? oh and i borrowed the xmen dvd too. haha. shit... i need somebody to give me a kick up the arse and get me studying, cos its just now happening now.
hmmm....guess i'll go finish that xmen boook now.
