This week's paraphernalia

Sun
Wow, not 5, not 10 but 20 newbies added zing to our dragonboat training session. This rowing season is gonna be a fun one as I get to find out more about the newbies. Finally I’m no longer the latest addition in the team. I was given the privilege to lead the warm up and circuit training. After circuit and a quick shower, some of us were off to catch the much-anticipated installment of Asian Boys trilogy at the Drama Centre. The first half was an adaptation-cum-deconstruction of an author when he was 20. The second half introduces the characters in the year 2007. Funny and some poignant moments.

Mon
It’s gym training today but this time a change of venue. My gym buddy cum personal trainer selected Yio Chu Kang which is less crowded and more equipped. Today we worked on chest and biceps.

Tues
It’s never a good thing when you rely too much on technology. Today my PC suddenly conked out. The cursor on the screen just refused to budge no matter how I move, shift or cajole the mouse. Of course, it got me very uptight, anxious and annoyed cos I have to access to my emails frequently. I realized that the wireless mouse is not working. Quickly made a trip to Funan Centre to get a cabled mouse. Happily installed it and discovered that I can’t use my keyboard. Horror, horror, horror! I discovered that the keyboard is also a wireless one. What a double whammy! Made another trip again. I remembered the last time I lost my mobile phone, it also got me extremely distressed. My mind was occupied with “What if I could have missed an important call? What if I could have missed a job opportunity?” The mind is filled with “maybe this, maybe that.” Maybe no one called.

Wed
My mum told me about celebrating my dad’s birthday this weekend. Would have to postpone it as I didn’t want to miss any of the dragonboat training session. Sorry, mum & dad, I promised to make it up to you some other time.
Gym training is getting more challenging but I kind of enjoy it. It feels good when I see my muscles grow! I’m pushing myself a little harder each time. Am I being masochistic?
Don’t think so, at least not yet.

Thurs
It’s nearing the weekend. Blogging at the moment.

Fri
T.G.I.F.! Probably catch a horror movie with my linedancing students. Haven’t seen a horror movie for a long time. There’s “Vacancy”, “Alone”, “Black Sheep”. Spoilt for choice!

Sat
Today is gonna be a busy one for me. I got to spend the first half of the day to train some teachers who will be appearing in a new exercise video. From 4pm to 10 pm, it’s my second linedance jam this year. This time, the location is at Toa Payoh HDB Hub. Gonna expect some crowd!

Sun
Dragon boat, dragon boat, dragon boat but definitely NO DRAG on boat!
