Lay off the weights.

I have an inkling why Enqing and Ivan don't like going to the gym. I'm starting to find it quite irritating too.

The fact that there are so many people squeezed in the same room together with you is a major turn off. The groups of guys who pretend they are working out when they are actually just talking to each other makes me just want to scream or kill somebody.

Plus the fact that everyone seems to be looking at what you are doing, which makes it feel like I'm in a zoo enclosure.

Pfft. Looks like I am not going to go back any time soon.

Anyways, I did my abs and lats pull-down plus bicep and tricep curls. Then I ran 3km in 20 minutes on the treadmill. I couldn't squeeze out the rest because frankly, I just wanted to get out of the place. Haha..

Training Week #3

I slacked off a bit this week, essentially just working out on Monday and Thursday. The badminton was not very strenuous but I guess kayaking training made up for it. Haha..

Did I mention how cute the J1s are? I must be getting old if J1s are starting to look young to me =/

Anyway, training will be affected this week since I would be having dinners here and there most of this week. Hopefully I don't gain weight! The highest I went to was 83.0kg and the lowest was 81.5kg. Unfortunately it didn't maintain and when I weighed myself this morning, it was still 83kg. Bleh.

Gymming later. Pray for people to stay at home because of swine flu and not go gym! Haha!

Activities:
2/5 Saturday - Kayaking Training
1/5 Friday - Badminton & Table tennis
30/4 Thursday - 60 lap swim @ Redhill (3km)
27/4 Monday - 5 km run in 30 minutes (6 mins/km)(14.4 mins for 2.4)

青花瓷

青花瓷

曲:- 周杰倫
詞:- 方文山

素胚勾勒出青花筆鋒濃轉淡
瓶身描繪的牡丹一如妳初妝
冉冉檀香透過窗心事我了然
宣紙上走筆至此擱一半

釉色渲染仕女圖韻味被私藏
而妳嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
妳的美一縷飄散 去到我去不了的地方

＃天青色等煙雨 而我在等妳
炊煙裊裊昇起 隔江千萬里
在瓶底書漢隸仿前朝的飄逸
就當我為遇見妳伏筆

＊天青色等煙雨 而我在等妳
月色被打撈起 暈開了結局
如傳世的青花瓷自顧自美麗
妳眼帶笑意

色白花青的錦鯉躍然於碗底
臨摹宋體落款時卻惦記著妳
妳隱藏在窯燒裡千年的秘密
極細膩猶如繡花針落地

簾外芭蕉惹驟雨門環惹銅綠
而我路過那江南小鎮惹了妳
在潑墨山水畫裡 妳從墨色深處被隱去

This is, in my opinion, Jay Chou's best written song ever. I just heard it on iTunes again and it brought back so many memories of our bunk in Seletar Camp and the fun we had singing to each other. Hahas..

For those who can't really read Chinese, the song speaks of one who waits for his lover, and describes their love as one that is carved on porcelain, their memories inscribed in life and their hearts like paintings on porcelain forever. The sadness and pain of separation will eventually fade, but the love will stay on forever.

The title of the song describes a type of porcelain that is very hard to make, requiring the last day of manufacture to be a rainy day to achieve the special green which makes it so special, thus the "天青色等煙雨"

Save save save!

Another major bleed-out day of DotA and cabbing. I'm starting to really feel the pinch since I am spending the money I earned from staring at the computer every day. =/

I shall start working on a budget on how much I can spend and stick to it. If not arh, surely won't have enough money during University.

Haix. Why am I not born with a jade spoon in my mouth?

Labour Day.

We went playing badminton and a little bit of table-tennis yesterday at Tampines SAFRA. It's been so long since JEDIT did something strenuous together! Hahas.. Gym swim does not count!

It felt good to be sweating and using my bag of bones. We haven't played badminton in a while, have we?

Got a chance to try playing ping pong too after watching Table of Glory on Channel 8 for so long. Wah.. So reminiscent of Primary School lorh. Those were the days of smelly armpits and smacking ping-pong balls here and there. Lol!

Anyways, we went watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine after that. Not bad at all. 4 stars! I felt the action was pretty well balanced with the story line. The only complaint is that there was no real climax to the movie. I left feeling informed, but not wowed. Plus the scene with the head that was cut off twirling round and round with laser eyes on just wasn't realistic. Maybe even a little ridiculous. Hahas..

Well, at least I didn't feel like I paid for a shitty show.

Amazingly, we didn't play Left 4 Dead or DotA at all! Wow. That's an achievement.
