today's post
think i really need more sleep.. think i've got insomnia..then i wake up at 8 on the dot..must be my stupid biological clock thinking its time to go to work. sigh.
anyways..couldn't sleep so gonna do a recap on yesterday..
as usual, it rained.. so i decided, heck, jus walk in the rain. pretty fun, was stomping at puddles, and splashing water everywhere hehehe, cept i was quite wet by the end of it. and now, think i've got a cold. sian.
had tat review with the boss first thing in the morning..then ordered thai express for lunch cos it was jun's last day.. =0'( but food was good. we ordered damn alot la!

then met up with the Friday-Evening-Gang (the FEGs heheh) for some blading..wah..i fell so many times man..car and me took turns falling..then i did the most spectacular fall cos i was trying to balance, then couldn't realy balance, then somehow did a flip and ended up lying on the ground.. ='0(
oh well. wat to do? but to laugh at meself, then get up again lor.. in many ways..it made me think how this is life is meant to be. i was always scared of humps..cos i'm not good on blades..and somehow i always fall after a hump. so each time i approach it, its with fear tat i will fall and hurt myself. so many a time i just try to avoid it, or if there is someone ard, i seek help fr tat person to help me get over the hump safely.
but yesterday.. first hump already i fall down.. then plucked up my courage and tried it again myself. was quite scared cos didn't have elbow guards, but surprisingly, i made it thru. up comes the 3rd, and still i was apprehensive, cos of the shadows from the past falls. then, i made it thru again.
of course, i still fell along the way, and while i had to pick myself up all the time (cos if others help u up, u'd probably fall back down again), i was happy to noe i had my 2 girlies with me to make sure i was ok before we continued. they help me, i help them, and i help myself.
then along the way we were blading at diff speeds. sometimes we move faster ahead of others, sometimes they move ahead faster than us, but pauses, waiting for each other to catch up and moving along together somehow made the journey happier, easier. (of course it helped tat the weather was superb la. nice and windy, shiok!) but falling down hurts..falling down consecutively hurts even more. somehow the pain exponentiates, to a point that it becomes unbearable. but the pain disappears. jus as bruises fade, cuts stop bleeding, wounds slowly heal. and then u move on. but then u realise, humps aren't that bad afterall..cos it prepared u for the drain ahead..
well we were super tired after it all.. so then went for a good good dinner at 85.

hhaah then v bo liao after dinner, then went to try out the coke n mentos experiment!
The preparation

The action
The end..

Scientist wondering wat went wrong with his hypothesis... Its the end, for now.. but we'll be back! with a detailed experimental procedure complete with control and 3 sets of varying conditions.
