Somethin’ to feed da B.O.R.E.D.O.M

Bedrest?
My royal arse…
I rather die than spend the weekend in bed
Stupid doctor.
Not to mention that just one day in bed and the whole house looked almost foreign to me.
I’ve been promoted from housemaid to personal slave
It’s good that the two monsters are still sleeping…at least I get to take a lil’ break before they start bellowing for food.

Actually, can’t believe that it’s the weekend again…Time flies so damn fast
oh no…i can hear movement…damn it’s time to get back to ‘work’
monsters.

hun…
I know that I not the easiest person to be with and yet time after time when I was ready to throw in the towel, you made me believe in us again. Love your strength and everything else about you….

Initial plans for the weekend? Rest. Rest. Rest.
BUT NOOOOOOO…
That didn’t happen…

Thanks to the baby sis’ brilliant fireman and the MEDIACORP’S SUBARU IMPREZA CHALLENGE.

Singapore’s
highly-celebrated survivor challenge returns with a twist! Jointly
organized by Motor Image Enterprises and MediaCorp Radio since 2002,
participants of this year’s challenge can look forward to pitting their
strengths in two camps – women versus men.

This year’s challenge revolves around the theme of Mars and Venus,
whereby one male and one female survivor will each walk away with a
Brand New Subaru Impreza 1.5R.
                                     
                              

Starting
from 7.00 am on Saturday, 3 November 2007 at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza,
contestants will have to register on site personally. A lucky draw will
be conducted to determine their allocated palm position on the car. The
Challenge will start at 1pm sharp where the contestants will place
their palms on assigned cars.

In
response to the overwhelming support the challenge has received, the
number of qualifying contestants for 2007 will increase from 320 to
400, with 200 male and 200 female participants. Singaporeans can
definitely look forward to a much bigger and more exciting event this
November.

One of her fireman insisted that she took part in the above-mentioned competition held in blardy Orchard Road starting on Saturday.

Was supposed to follow her on Saturday morn at 6am but three people can’t fit on one bike so she went off first with D.
Surprised!!! She got through and demanded that me and Dila come down to the place immediately.   
Groggy and tired, we reached the place in the afternoon, an hour after the competition had started. Barely 10 min standing at the barricade laughing at her, I almost passed out from the heat and low sugar level. Thank god I was not the one in the competition. Would have set the record for the fastest eliminated participant.heh.
D had to leave for a while so we stayed and I had to stand in a blardy long queue to get a pass so that one of us could go in and see her during her 5min break at 7pm. Nearing the break and after looking at her face, I told D to go in so that I can escape her monstrous rage. (Alin with no food, no rest…sssscccaaaarryyy!) D couldn’t stay through the whole night so I volunteered to stay and give her the much needed moral support.
She lasted through the whole night and then her old knee injury forced her to retreat. By then it was already in the afternoon and the sun was blazing hot. As much as I hated the sun, I was there standing near her as much as I could without fainting and having the medical personnels attending to me instead. haha.
It was a fun experience.
I became 3 shades darker.
And she was so pissed off at having to go because she believed that she could have gotten the car if not for her knees. The heat was not a problem apparently:P
A part of me was already dreaming of taking a cool shower and my beloved bed.

BUT…

My parents decided to do a detour on the way back and go to the massage lady because Alin’s legs were horribly swollen.
We eventually reached home at 7pm and I hopped into the shower in record time but I only got to bed at 3am bcos my baby called, and then D came by to see how his darling was doing and I decided to give and go jogging.
Spent three hours at the park before I came back home, showered and passed out while doing some research for baby’s interview in Midvalley…

I am so damn tired right now. Body is aching and back is killing me.
And there are still some survivors at this moment at the Subaru Challenge. My hats to those who are still standing because it would be the third day in a couple of hours and those people have not slept, showered and hardly had anything to eat or drink since they started. I would have been hallucinating by now.

Off to bed now. Gonna be dreaming of Subaru Impreza and baby driving it…heh

One more try.One more chance. The bond and memories held us together once again. Love

My whole body is bloody aching
From the recurring fever
From the lack of rest
From trying to test the endurance and limitation
Of the physical self that has been damaged
By years of neglect and abuse. Gah!
Was half wishing that Mr Gan was there to shout
"COME ON DIANA!RUN!!!"
It was rather irritating then to have somebody constantly at your back yelling when you slack off.
But right now it would be so welcome.
Well at least I’m not the one whose NAPFA test is in three weeks.hehe.
My poor I-HATE-JOGGING/I’M AN AIRHEAD JUST TO FOOL YOU sister had demanded that I accompany her…at TWO-bloody-AM…to start training for her interview for a position in…the ARMY!?
Right.
One IS already a firefighter…and not the kind that sits in the office and do paperwork…a WOMAN in-charge of a group of MEN and leads the way when duty calls…
The most feminine out of the three (and it is definitely not me)who had applied to be a air-stewardess has instead gotten the interview for…the A.R.M.Y. Another male-dominated territory.
god…life is so weird sometimes…
And I wish her and sayang all the best for their upcoming interviews:)

Had spent the past few days in a dream-like state…

Singapore actually still has places left to be explored…oh my god!
Slowly readjusting to the place that I had left and suddenly everything was not as bad as it seems…

The walk down Orchard Road brought back a myriad of memories. And the love shared was so addictive. Through all the years…
The reminiscing, the familiarity that had not dissipated over the years gone…
The night breeze …and the adrenaline rush that had been so missed and yearned for..
And
Beneath the half moon lighting the dark sky
By the silent river that reflects the life that has become nothing but snapshots in the mind…
A rare moment shared between…
Somehow the feelings felt need not be put into words
Tranquility…
and we both forgot our realities as we journeyed back through the past
As we left…
"A flame that has been blown out can always be rekindled."

If only…

Slowly leaving the excess baggages that had been weighing down and learning to let go…feels like an impossible mission. sigh

Everything happens for a reason and sometimes the worst thing that happened is a blessing in disguise…

An eventful week.
Thank you.
