Trial of the Triathlon

I had the trial of the Triathlon at Nanyang Technology University in Boon Lay yesterday morning. Before that, i went to the Boon Lay MRT station at around 7am for the breakfast. I expected to meet Louis and Kelvin Siew. But later on, some more guys joined us. Wen Long, Ivy, Melvin, Priscilla, Danny and some more whom i forgot how to spell their names. Around 8am plus, we took the bus no 179 to reach NTU's Sports and Recreation Hub and met more people.

The First Test began.

I was excited at first because my group was ready to leave to cycle around the routine. I followed them as i was supposed to do that. The most difficult journey was the slope. It was very deep that i had put a lot of effort to overcome it. I put all my strength on the petals to cycle. It was really very had but i liked the feeling of being thrilled. Haha... After the journey, i finally reached the starting point with my group.

The Second Test began.

It was same as the first test. Cycling. But before we left, the leader taught us how to use the gears correctly to respond the level of the paths. For example, when we were on the slope, we should change the gears to low level so that we could cycle with ease. When we were on the flat path, we should change the gears to high level so that we could cycle with ease and faster as well. When we came down from the slope, we should use the brakes to control the speed in case the bikes might lose balance when on high speed. This time, it was more difficult because i had exhausted myself from that first test. But i was determined to finish it as soon as possible. And i did it.

The Third Test began.

It could be same as the first and second tests. But we were really exhausted and some of us were in hurry for works and other personal things. We chose running instead. Only Louis, Ronald, Priscilla and i ran over 4.4km. Danny and Ivy joined us as well but they ran over 2.2km. Louis and Ronald ran faster than us. I tried to follow their speed but i was so exhaused and had a slight pain on my chest. On the way back from the bus stop, Priscilla caught up with me because i slowed down so that i could have a chat with her. haha... On the half way, I suddenly had clamp on my left leg. Then, i walked to ease my leg. When i was almost near the starting point, i began to jog. Then when i reached the track and field, i asked my friends to buy some cold drinks for me. But they seemd not to understand because they got me water instead. Then, i ran in high speed around the track for what? LoLz... haha... Yes, i put all my remaining strength in running around the tracks because i wanted to drink since i was so thirsty. So i ran as fast as i could. Finally, it ended.

Then, some of us went around to look for the bathroom. But we could not find it. Then, i asked some passerby for the direction to the bathroom. Finally, i found it and told my friends to come. The bathroom looked really good. Somehoe okay. The other places like Singapore Cricket Club was much better because it got air conditions in the bathrooms. After a nice shower, we went out on the way to Jurong East to grab the bite for the lunch. Afterwards, Wen Long, Kelvin Siew and I went to the MRT station to take the train home. For the rest, they stayed and had a chat.

When i got home, i immediately took a shower and went to the bed. It was four o'clock. I was so exhausted because i did not get any wink of sleep at the night before yesterday.

For the triathlon, i have confidence that i can do it. So i'm determined to train myself a lot to overcome the difficulties especially the stamina levels. It's more likely that i become weary after taking on the swimming and cycling. Too tired to take the final test, running. So i'm really determined to train a lot. (^_^)

That's all for today.

Cheers!~

My father seems to be somehow stranger to me

Strange or crazy? That's what i thought of my father for what kind of person he is. Perhaps our different levels of education widen the gap between us. His English is so poor as he did not learn English in his school. But i don't understand. He told me that he finished at O levels. Yet how come he never learned English? Even my godfather who has the same age as my father, can talk English well. Yesterday, i was having dinner with my father at the coffee shop nearby. When he was asking me what i wanted to drink, i told him, "Root beer". It is the soft drink, something everyone knows, right? You know what happened? He ordered the coffee! I could not believe that he was that dumbhead! How can i have the coffee at night which is naturally supposed to be for sleeping? Instead, i did not want any drink. He spoiled my appetite. So i went back after the dinner while he was waiting for the take away which was for my mother.



I am really feeling like the stranger whenever i meet him. Often , he is quiet at home but whenever there are visitors or we are at our relatives' houses, he was quite talk active and sometimes scolded me for not greeting him. He was really strange one. Moreover, he does not know my likes and my favourites. He even does not know my birthday. That is why i have been wanting to move out to live on my own. I know that he has been working hard to feed me and put me in school in the past. But i want to move out because i don't want to worsen our relationships due to our different thinkings. For my mother, i don't want to quarrel with her as she is quite stubborn over minor things. So it's best for me to stay away from them. But i will drop by sometimes like Chinese New Year and their birthdays.



That's all for today. I'm very tired now. =)



Cheers!~

Mood: Somehow okay

Last Tuesday, I went to Republic Poly with some guys for the rugby game. The friendly one. So those Republic guys were not wearing their tradition clothes. That poly, it was quite big that we walked over long distances to reach the field. But not really bigger than the one in Raffles Junior College. That RJC was really so huge. Over there, i was hoping to see my old friends but i didn't see any one of them on that day. =( "Pretty Gals, where are you now?" had been lingering in my mind since then. Those girls and i met in the workplace two years. They were so pretty that i had almost been crazy about them. Haha... Not really. It's just that we were incompatible and none of them was my dream girl so i was not interested to take any one of them. Moreover, i knew that they were studying in Republic Poly. I hoped that i would see them again next time. Just catch up with our old times. Coincidentally, i saw the guy( I forgot his name) who was my former school teammate over there. He was representing that poly. For the game, we, Bedok Kings were doing well by the countless tries over the Republic Poly. After the game, we went somewhere to grab a bite. Then, i went back by the bus 168 with some guys who stayed in the East. I was so tired after putting my dirty clothes into the washing machine and having a nice shower that i slept for more than 12 hours.

Yesterday, i woke up around 1000. I went to the hawker centre nearby to have the Yau Tou Fu for the breakfast. I was so hungry that i had two bowls of rice. Then i went back and strangely i felt tired again. So i slept again. I just could not believe that i was a lazy pig. Haha... Just for a while before i went out to head for the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour for the masses. I did not realized that the next day was the Ascension of the Lord until the mass i attented was to celebrate for that event in advance. Now, i would like to praise the Lord for He was good to us. Alleluia! For the Charismatic mass at night, usual things like singing hymns else were going on. Nothing special except i was writing down some words which Uncle Stephen was teaching so that i could remember them. I felt that it was important because everything he explained was really right and it might be useful to me in the future. After the last mass, i cycled to the hawker centre in Bedok Centre to fill my gumbling stomach. I had the wanton noodles and black carrot cake. The black carrot cake was so tasty. Yum! Yum! Afterwards, i went back by the bike. I did not know why my mum was so cross with me. She just refused to respond to me. She was just crazy. It had been four days. (>.<") But i didn't care. LoL.. Haha.. Four more days before i can get the debit card. I'm not sure about it but i hope that i can make money through it. Really a big loan. I can't wait to apply for the driving license! =P

Cheers!~ (^_^)

Some mind reflections on my life.

I almost managed to sleep early last night. But the television disturbed me. My mum was watching the TVB show. I scolded her that i needed to sleep early for the morning activity. I was sleeping in my mum's room because it got air conditioner while my room did not have it. When i switched the television off, she hit my face so hard with her pillow that my eyes hurt. Three times. I was so angry so i hit her back with my pillow once and then stormed into my room to sleep. But i could not sleep well because of hotness. Even sleeping on the cold floor could not help. This time, i was really frustrated because she had been wasting my time all the years. Last time, i was sleeping in the same room with my mother. By then, my room was occupied by my auntie who suffered some mental illness. For my father, he occupied the living room. Even if i was preparing for the serious examinations, my mum would still watched the television at late night. That was why i did not have enough sleep all those years except the holidays. Perhaps if i got my own room with the air conditioner long time ago, i would be big and tall and study in the top school now. My family was really strange or perhaps crazy because my parents seldom talked much to each other all those years as if they were having the cold war. It was because of money matters. It was not easy to sit down and discuss with them because they were so stubborn and their English was so poor. That was why i could not speak well. I wished that if i were the normal hearing person, this problem would never affect my family. I remembered that my mum often told me that she found me in the trash and she would divorce my father one day and left forever. I think that she was wrong by then because i was so small. As well, i think that if the parents spoke to their young children like that, those children would follow those wrong ideas and might destroy their future family. I understood that she did it at the moment of the anger and due to the pressure from my hearing problems. But could she do the better? I wished that she would give me her support all the time. I always was green with envy when i saw the other families worked together and supported each other as the united ones. I dared to say that she was selfish and narrow minded because she had so high expectations on me when i was a child. Every time my school results were somehow poor, she would hit me and scolded me. I understood that she was disciplined me but she was really wrong at that time because she did not give me any reason. When if i did better, she did the same. It would be better if she were supportive like encouraging me to improve. When i was bullied in the school last time, she did not care and mocked me for being soft hearted. I wished to have friends like neighbours when i was small but she did not allow it because she felt that they were so naughty. Now, I'm laughing at her remarks because every child has own childhood. Nothing to do with the adults' decisions to refrain them from playing with friends. It's not if those children were committing the crimes. It's all right to stop them if they were doing something dangerous like playing with the fire. Those children i met were just running around and playing hide and seek only. Same with my father. He also disapproved me of playing with those children. For him, i felt that he was a coward, narrow minded and selfish. He treated the money matters more important than the family matters. That was why he was often neglected the family. He even did not know my birthday, my likes and my favourite things even though he was my father. I often felt that he was a completely stranger every time i saw him. He always thought that he was best and could do everything but i said that he was careless and clumsy. As well, he thought that he was iron man because he refused to see the doctor when he was hurting his legs or arms from the works. When he was visiting the physician for his injured leg last month, he rejected my offer of accompanying him. I could tell that he was feeling shamed or embarrassed with me accompanying him. Money was really the apple of his eyes. My parents always think that they can satisfy me with the money and food.
Now, i think that if i become rich one day, i would definitely buy the house. One room for person. Some more rooms for my personal things like the gym, work and temple for worship. But i will not talk to them much in the future lest i would hurt our family relationship.

i'm going to stop here because my mood is bad now.

Gotta go.

Cheers!~

Mood: Somehow stable

In the morning, around 1100, i woke up and washed up. Just usual activity. But i did not have the breakfast because i was too lazy to go out and have a meal in the hawker centre. My mum did not help me at all. She just put a few dollars on the PS2. Urhh... I must have a big meal to feed my growth. I wanted to be big and strong like the ang mohs giants. Such as the Andre the Giant, Big Show and the indian wrestler, the Great Khali. Their sizes had been impressed me that i wanted to follow them. Haha... Just for rugby. If i were that enormous giant, i did not need to run around a lot and kept pushing so hard. From today onwards, i must have more proper meals and more milk! =P Haha...

At late 1200, i began to cycle to the Expo to drop by. I had to pay $10 to Louis for bike rental for the next month triathlon. After staying for a while, i was about to cycle. It was already raining cats and dogs. Just now, it was fine sunny. Now, it was raining heavily. Oh my goodness... But it did not stopped me from cycling to home. When i got home, i was already wet from head to toes. After the nice shower, i sat on the couch and had fun with my favourite PS2. (^_^)

At 1630, my mum arrived home with the lunchpack. I called her around 2 o'clock but she came late because she had her taxi being serviced since the air conditioners were not working well. After having the meal, it was already 1700 plus. So i got ready and cycled to the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour for the mass. I was not somehow concentrating during the mass because other things were dancing in my mind. I was thinking that i needed to train a lot to get powerful strength and eat a lot to grow taller and big. As well, i needed to study hard to do well that i might have to study oversea. There were so many other things as well. After mass, i went back to home and did the usual things.

That's all for today...

Cheers!~ (^_^)

My first blog here! (^_^)

Finally, i can get through this blogspot after unsuccessful attempts to do that. (^_^) This blogspot is really good and easy. I would thank Gaspar for teaching and inspiring me to use it. Ya!

All right. Last Friday, i went to the Bungy Bar in Clarke Quay at night to help out. Nothing much to do. I just helped out in BBQ servings only. Really nothing to do. (>.<") Later on, i went to the McDonald nearby with some guys to grab a bite and then went back afterwards. At late night, we youngsters were having some drinks and were about to leave. At first, i did not want to drink but i did. I only stopped after drinking the Victoria Beer a bit. It was so bitter. More bitter than the Tiger Beer. For Tiger Beer, it tasted almost like plain water. Even though we had helped out selling the raffle tickets and some gears and serving BBQ. in the bar, this event seemed to be unsuccessful because i saw Andrew shook his head which meant that it looked bad. As well, it looked more likely that we had to pay some fees to get the membership cards and play on the field. That membership card really looked cool in black. I could not wait to take one. =P Haha.. After the bar, Ben and i went back by the taxi. When we saw the first cab outside, we immediately went towards it. When Ben asked the driver to take us, that man rejected us because he looked down on us. F*** him off. After waiting for a while, we finally found the cab which was willing to take us. On the way, we were chatting and shared the fares. When i reached my home, i immediately took the hot shower to relieve myself. It was so nice feeling. Haha... Then, i played "The Way of the Samurai 2" in the PS2. I did not realized that i became addiceted to it because after playing, i discovered that it was already 0400 or 0500. Oh my goodness. =P But it was fun at all because i knocked so many people out in the game. More than 500 people. If you want to knock the countless people out, you should try the game, "Dynasty Warriors 5". It can provide you one thousand or more soldiers to fight against.

Yesterday afternoon, i woke up around 1300 and changed. Later, my mum came in and brought the lunch. It was Japanese food. She said that she bought it at Jurong. Wow.. So far away. Haha.. It was delicious at all. Then around 1600, suddenly the idea struck my head. It was Mother's Day the next day. I planned to buy the roses but unfortunately, i could not find anywhere. =( I even wasted my trip cycling to the florist garden for those roses. Instead, i went back empty handed. On the way, i received the SMS. It was Kenneth, my catechism teacher. He asked whether i was coming to the RCIY. I thought that it was already over and resumed in July. He said that we still had the lseeons until May ended. "Oh my god!" i exclaimed. (>.<") Then i apologised and told him that i could not make it but i would come next week. Then i continued to cycle back. Then i took the shower to wash my sweat away and cycled again. I cycled to the aunty Maureen's house to park my bike in her house. Then, Uncle Stephen, Gary, she and i went together to Aunty Lucy's house for the BBQ easter. Some more people joined us. We had the fun and some chatting. We even were so full that one man had the indigestion. Uncle Stephen encouraged me to talk more even though my talking was somehow bad. Afterwards, we went back on separate ways. After Aunty Maureen's house, i cycled back to my home. It was fun at all. Haha...

Cheers!~
