Bird Park
Overdue photos from the Bird Park (taken by Shane. Photography unfortunately probably isn’t my forte since cameras are related to technology, and when it comes to technology, I’m like one of those grandmas who never know how to operate a DVD player even after being told 10 times how to). The weather that day turned out to be so damn hot that I wondered how I’m still alive in Singapore after 19 years, I should be boiled like a chicken by now.
I’ve always wondered why bird shit is white. Isn’t that weird? Sometimes it’s black but it can be white too. I think if human faeces was white in colour it’d look a lot less gross.
My favorite part was the penguin enclosure. Because it had air-conditioning.
No but really, the penguins were the cutest.
…and there was air-conditioning.
Anyway, I caught the flu 
All my brain juices for this entry have been expelled from my body via my nose and mouth – mucus and coughing. Sigh. Nose – unblock I say!!!
TAC Adventure III
I tried to learn how to cycle, but I failed. I’m afraid it’s going to be one of those things that I just can’t get, like rollerblading and ice-skating, both of which I’ve tried multiple times to learn but failed. Skateboarding seems to be the only mode of transportation that involves wheels that I’m able to do (in terms of being able to balance on it while moving), even then I haven’t touched my skateboard in long while.
A certain someone *ahem* didn’t join us in the end, so Denise and I, both of whom have no idea how to cycle, tried to learn by ourselves. We kind of figured it’s something you can just somehow try and pick up by yourself, hah. After struggling around for about an hour, while cheekopek contruction workers sniggered at our feeble attempts, a Malay uncle (Uncle Man, pronounced as Mah-n) saw us and started to help us out. He was being kind of pervertish, and claimed he was just waiting for his 9 year old daughter to finish cycling with her friends, but in any case, he was pretty friendly, and I’m assuming that he was telling the truth. At the end of the 3 hours, we realized that I didn’t seem to be getting it, so I just enjoyed a long ride back to the bicycle rental shop on the back of his bicycle. I realize this makes me sound like a total spoilt brat, but I never realized how much fun it is to be on a bicycle! What a fantastic mode of transportation! Unfortunately it seems that other people will have to do the cycling for me.
So at the end of the day, I sort of learned how to ride a bicycle (I did kind of get it for a short while, but got too tired in the end to get it right) and got like a million cuts and bruises from the 10 times I fell (Shane’s response, “…How can you fall?!”). I got a particularly bad gash on the back of my calf, I don’t know from what. I got 2 huge scratches too that makes a big fat “X”, I don’t know what could have created that. Even though they look unsightly and they hurt like hell, I feel kind of accomplished, because these scars are a sign of an athlete!! …Or at least, a sign that I’ve done something physical, hah.
Been feeling quite off for the past week or so. I dunno, although I haven’t done much during the holiday, which everyone seems to be jabbing me for (I’m totally using this time to relax completely because I know I will never be able to ever again for the rest of my life, until retirement), a shit load has changed and happened over the past few months. This is probably one of the most happening years of my life so far. One day I was still a kid, and the next, I’m doing and deciding on things that only a 20-something year old and not a 19 year old should be concerned about. Sigh, just have to start getting used to this new chapter in my life…
Plus, I’m feeling a bit fluey and ate too many brownies, maybe that’s why I’m feeling particularly off now. Heh.
On a separate note, I’ve installed L4D2 into my laptop, so I can now kill zombies whenever I have the craving! I feel so awesome whenever I play with Amanda, Zhi Wei and Sam too, we’re not in the leagues of the pros yet, but it feels nice to have a team to play with and improve with. At least that’s one part of my life that doesn’t need to change or grow up yet.
