the Lord is really gracious to me, today's training was bizarre. was supposed to be 'mua-chi'-i.e mochi-ed today at the beach, but they called it off at the end. anyway i'm aching all over from the past 2 days of intensive training. So i was really dreading today's training which had us take a large boat to Pulau Sudong for some chiong-sua drills then being transported to shore at East Coast Park. haha... When the ramp went down i believe we shocked many civilians having BBQ or just present there by running out to a certain formation in front of their very eyes. Then it got even better when we were like wondering when the torture session will commence, so with many eyebrows raised and fingers crossed, we marched off much to our gleeful disbelief. i mean, its like a mandatory thing that all trainees attending the course will go through, being thrown all over the place and asked to do stuffs to get us all soaked, tired, wet, dirty, just like mua-chi. If you get the chance to hear from a guardsmen, they'll fill you in on their unforgetable experiences during their course, one of which is definitely beach-PT. So now i'm back home, still aching all over.

Maria Sharapova's in town. With Anna Chakvetadze. I saw some of her photos taken at Fullerton Hotel with the Singapore backdrop, i have to say she looks fatter than usual, and her hair is frazzled, i mean, she's supposed to look like that right, after like a long flight from States. And what with Haagen Daaz as the official ice-cream for her hopover here, and Zouk as the official night venue for her own party tmr, and with no daddy to guard her except her coach who's her only companion, we might see a puffy tipsy sharapova on Sunday. Anyway i got a couple of free tickets for her match on Sunday , which i can't go coz i'll need to book in early. Not that i really want to see her play anyway. for an upclose and personal experience, i will suggest going into Prada or LV and wait at one corner. i've never been a fan of Sharapova leh.

Thanks to everyone for Birthday wishes. i was so tired yersterday night when i returned from outfield that i couldn't even finish replying all the SMSes, i even left some SMSes unread and went to sleep. But thank you everyone who SMSed. and WaiYin who called! haaha...
