OH MY ZEBRA!!!


Just wanna SHOW OFF my new desktop look~ love black and white, LOVE zebra print~! (no zebra fur, please!)
I really love the bold print, despite being only black and white, it couldn't be more beautiful! its a combination between minimalistic and being over the top. I specially love the zebra wallpaper, the zebra's eye is crazy beautiful!

Special thanks to:

Sundai mornin'

Well, turned out I didn't wake up for the jog (sorry Mel for ditching ya! ^^;)
and I'm so rusty, physically and mentally.

me: a rusty tinman

haha! just now, Amy and I went to play badminton at Setapok badminton court. I wanted to do some sports since its been a while that I exercise (the only exercises I'm getting these days are walking to the hospital and climbing up the stairs). so yeah, I asked Amy to play badminton with me.

It rained sooo hard this evening. I actually just wanted to play badminton in college, out in the open, but because of the rain, we had to go to the badminton court. So, we played for an hour for a $10 and we bought a shuttlecock, the cheapest one there is there! ($3) and we laughed at ourselves for looking so amateur (like seriously, there were loads of athletic looking guy, with super big sports branded items (nike shoes, adidas t-shirts, etc etc) with super expensive branded rackets with rackets cover, while Amy and I were holding our old, worn (cheap?) shabby rackets (no fancy covers) and 1 cheap shuttlecocks, and my sport shoes weren't even sport shoes!)

anyway! when we started playing (amateurly, with sounds of expensive shoes squeaking around, and loud smashing of shuttlecocks between the seemingly athletic players) its really fun! I love the endorphins released during exercise (specially when you're playing your favorite sport!) however I got breathless in 15 minutes (like seriously, the 70-ies old men on the court beside us looked like active robots that would never get tired!), proof of me having lack of exercise. we got 2 rests in between, and we persevered. yay us!

now that I've rested for a bit, I kinda feel like my muscles are aching. tomorrow morning I will definitely be like the rusty tinman, having not oiled my hinges since forever. and oh, I forgot to mention, we didnt do any warming up because we're just too excited to start playing badminton..haha!


oh and, also, amy, mel and I are planning to go jogging at dawn tomorrow. I really hope I can wake up on time XD

to the hospital: walk vs drive

pros and cons of walking to the hospital vs driving

on walking
pros:
1. its an exercise - keeps you fit and healthy physically and mentally
2. saves fuel
3. thus, reducing pollution

cons:
1. its kinda tiring
2. sweating like crazy arriving at the hospital
3. its really hot and tiring on hot days
4. you get rained on on rainy days (tho its cooling)
5. really needs a determination and strong will to go walking (laziness) even though you know of all the health benefits
6. cant really use heels, even the low ones


on driving
pros:
1. you get there fast
2. air-cond, roof on your head -> protection from heat and rain
3. you look more stylish (lol, kidding!)

cons:
1. uses fuel
2. pollution and global warming!
3. traffic jams!!!!
3. DAMN hard to find a parking at the hospital
4. makes you lazy, reduces stamina

so yeah, I really wanna start walking to the hospital, and like I've said, its really gonna take determination to choose walking over the luxury of a car. How I wish there's a cycling lane between the hospital and our college!!

In the head of the underdog


"As she walks to face the real world, she swallows her misery and puts on her game face. And with a faux confident smile and strong strides, she tries to hold herself together but deep inside, she's crumbling like a cookie..."


Additional notes :
1. I'm sorry but I don't intend to make anyone else feel this sick feeling, I know very well that negative feelings/aura can be pretty infectious.
2. I have the rights and reasons to feel down, depressed and to doubt myself. I am not super woman.
3. This is purely a way to pour out all of my negative feelings. Just let me lick my wounds for a moment before I can pick myself up again.
4. And this is one example of the deadly effect from the disastrous combination of PMS and exam stress.
