Always-Atlantic Starr

i was gasping for breath during my morning jog earlier and was looking up when suddenly two big birds swooped few metres away from me and perched onto a tree branch ahead.and yeah it really made me smile,that the mysterious bird which i saw months back and the ones that i saw today was confirm of a Hornbill breed.
big white beaks and big round eyes looking at me while i just stared at one of it for a moment and continued my run.and another that caught my attention was some bunch of mynahs chasing a small monitor lizard at the beach,some of the things that we don't see much in this urban environment.

my back hurts,but unsure whether it's due to paddling yesterday morning or during sleep.

back to work and there's so many things to do,school holidays back again and me and my colleagues are armed to face the challenges for this month.

i have officially finished watching HBO's The Pacific miniseries and it seems short,but nevertheless another interesting war flick.i just got back from the cinema counter at my workplace here,i got free tickets but sad news is that i wasn't given any options to watch any;No Free List for all shows.and so i've no reason to keep the tickets but to discard it into the bin.

i wanna watch Shrek 3!

I Ran-A Flock Of Seagulls

The scorching heat burned the 9 of us but not our faiths.only us while the rest were too tired after the sundown marathon last night,and i wished i could run but i was there just to show support for my wife who ran the 10km and while waiting at the finishing line,with the gorgeous moon occasionally hiding amongst clouds in the distant horizon,i only hoped that she didn't give up midway,but upon seeing her crossing the end arch,it immediately change my negative perception on her,she's indeed made of tough material,and i'm real happy and proud that she accomplished the task that she's been talking about almost everyday since she signed up for it,and what aroused my concern,was that,she did not even train for it.nope.what a stunner!

this morning the heat pierced my flesh,but i had my hat and shades on,at least it wasn't that bad.coach stopped several guys for their wrong techniques,even the seasoned ones,and since there were only a handful of us this morning,and he didn't pick me,i must say that i'm pretty good with the strokes but i need to train up more,how i wish they could arrange another training during the weekdays.anyway they are already intensifying the practice,saturday and sundays as another couple of big races are coming up during the end of this month.and i'm still unsure whether i could
participate especially when the school holidays programmes is as thick as the yellow pages.

Good Sunday Afternoon to you!

Crew Summer-Bananarama

it's a fresh new monday,with new swells & aches on several locations on my tired body.new agendas for the week flashed across my mind,and looking at it,i might have to postpone my day off to sunday again.
I got very dark,due to the prolonged activities under the sun,and yesterday i was sweating the whole day-right when i stepped out of the house to Kallang river till i got back home.and the training was getting vigourous with coach introducing new skills & techniques.
In the glorious sunday evening yesterday,me & my wife rode off to Geylang Serai shop hopped,bargained & bagged ourselves cheap yet chic rugs & we've to carry the 2 metres in length bamboo spread,balancing it as we transported it back to the apartment in Bedok.and once we reached the place,we cleaned it up & lay it onto the floor right away.it looked perfectly beautiful.
Unplanned,we immidiately performed an all out attack in the room that we will soon be nesting in,scrubbed,stroked and literally dug dirt & dusts from top to bottom,even the wardrobe was not spared.we even mopped the floor with bleach & soap & it's so strikingly glowing when it was all done.and all we need now is a queen sized bed and a curtain rail.and the rest will soon follow,which is quite disturbing to transfer all my stuffs there,especially my shoes.

Fast Love-George Michael

it's been a long day,hmm,let me re-phrase,it's been a long tiring week.meticulous preparations and setup for the mayday fiesta,and on actual day today,we've to report as early as 7am and the entire day we had to handle and organized staffs manning the gamestalls and inflatables,and apart from handling difficult guests and the crazy heat,we had to control ourselves-we were in plain,tired.
and it's all done,we've kept all our stuffs and arranged it neatly in stores,everybody has left except for myself.
i got another day off tomorrow,and i'm will be in the Kallang river rowing with the gang as usual,and try hard to upkeep the momentum,and in the afternoon,i'd love to spend with my dear beloved wife-probably to the flea mart and a stroll at the beach.
besides the tense at work,myself and the wife actually had to spend whatever left in the quiet evenings cleaning and arranging a soon-to-be our pad in Bedok.we've concluded to move in by end of this month.but there are plenty more things to be done there than we've expected,and we just need to be a little bit more patient.

Fastlove-George Michael

I got bad eyebags & this morning i really had to push myself out of the bed.
with all the activities and lil rest,i don't really know where to start.probably what i really need is supplement of energy bars to boost myself,but then again i'm unsure if it'll work on me,or maybe again i just need a proper rest and proper meals.

sent my wife to work and got back,park Badgal Bella on me fave spot,and i took the bus and train down to Lavender,where i hopped onto Debbie,which i left at the workshop a day earlier;they weld up the cracks on my pipe nice and smooth,and also serviced & tuned her up,now it feels as great as new.

half an hour late for work today,but i've already rang up my dear boss that i'm reporting slightly later,did some stuffs,had my lunchtime jog at the park and now i'm finally at my desk,discarding emails and typing this.

the weather,ohh my,it's beyond words.scorching hot!but darks clouds gathered in the horizon before i came in the office earlier.

busy period
been quite busy lately,we had to complete and submit our appraisals,i had to assist my fellow colleagues,and we did'nt had much time as we had to be somewhere else and rush for shows and events,i'm glad that there's nothing much this weekend and already i have permission from the boss that i could take my day off this sunday,and i could participate in the inter union dragon boat race,woohoo!

so many things,so lil time.

Por Ti Volare-Andrea Bocelli

It's On-Naughty By Nature

set the alarm clock at half past 5 but was only awoken by the wife half hour later this morning.
I had only less than 5 hours of precious sleep and it really felt odd when i staggered,in semi concious state towards the shower room.
While most were still in deep slumber,i had to sacrifice that beauty part to perform my duty at work.
the sunrise was extremely beautiful,hovering in the horizon amongst the rows of hdb apartments with its golden glow rays illuminating the darkness.

I am at my station now,as the PM giving his Mayday speech in front of hundreds anxious ministers & unionists,and it's almost over.

I just can't wait for all this to be over,it's been a tiring week.big daddy has already been discharged from hospital yesterday and i'm looking forward to visit him at home later this afternoon.and my good boss gave the thumbs up for us to take a day off tomorrow,and that's so good,
and i'm really looking forward to the rowing session tomorrow!

Happy Labour Day Folks!
