Yesterday I went for the olympic day run...the marathon ppl called it the mcdonald's run but i tink mcD is just the sponsor... there was a ronald mcdonald clown there too...
As usual... brought my iPod with me to keep me company... and it was at dataran merdeka again.... so started out ok... but this time something happened...
There was a big-sized guy in front of me so i thought why not overtake him... so i did...and as i was jogging jogging... i tripped over something... i think the road wasn't good and two guys picked me up and the guy on my left was the big-sized dude >< .... felt so guilty for overtaking him...haha... but he asked if i was ok and told me to slow down ( maybe he knew i was overtaking him....) but somehow i had more energy to run so i did...iPod is badly scratched...both knees hurt...right knee more than left...coz it wasn't bleeding so i thought it wasn't such a bad fall...but after a while my right knee was bleeding... so it could've been a good thing as well because all i had in my mind was to finish the thing and get it washed quickly before it gets infected... so as soon as i finished there was a st john guy there so conveniently located...hehe.. he helped me wash it and bandage it and i felt kinda relieved .... a friend saw me and thought i came directly back after falling but of course i didn't... me being so kiasu and kiam siap..haha.. paid already don't wanna try to get the certificate meh.... no way... and it didn't hurt that much while i was running anyway...
When dad got back he asked me "so u fell like a garbage truck ah?" .... -.- .... i walked away and said "it's pointless talking to ppl like this..hmph..." but then he told me to go back to his room and show him the wound... even he thought i gave up after falling...
but now that the iPod is scratched... bro joked that my iPod has a new skin now..hehe... the good thing is it didn't spoil :)

Summary

It's been such a long time since i updated..hehe... hmm.. time to sum everything up...
For the DMC competition...i messed up :P.... so we didn't win...but in the end they awarded first prize winners only for our category... but it was a good experience....
Then came piano exams...another thing which i could've at least done enough to pass but in the end i screwed up :( .... but the examiner was a nice lady...hehe... the only other time i got a lady examiner was in grade 1.... but this lady's nice..even if you do really really badly she still give u that encouraging smile :) .... so...there ain't no point thinking about it now... haih... just hope my teacher will forgive me...
Hmm..what else...? nothing much happening lately... everyone's started to study.... I...have started paying more attention in class..haha... which is something i should have done much earlier huh...

OHH...how can i forget... Cheong Foh Cafe has opened its first branch!! :) .... To me it was a big deal coz I wondered what my grandparents and uncle would have thought if they were here witnessing this milestone :) ... but maybe i'm overreacting.... i think partly because i too one day...some day.. hope to open up my own shop..hehe.. not a coffee shop though... but it feels like such a big step.... anyway.. Cheong Foh's branch is at Jalan Kim Chuan..i tink... not sure bout the address but it's near Chi Liung...so now customers from the other side of Klang don't have to cross the bridge anymore :) ...

.....that'll be the end of this post...sadly nothing more interesting has come up...so until then....

Time to wake up...... :(

School has started again.... haih... results are kinda really ugly this time.... but somehow i don't get all emotional like my friends do... am i turning into my brother o.O .....??
There seems to be a lot more similarities with us now... haha.... like sometimes (notice i say sometimes now..) i 'll fall asleep in class... i'm becoming more glued on to the computer.... slacking..looking neutral when i get my results...haha... which is not something i'm proud of lah... but bro is also freaked out at me... but i guess he's a good bro... when he sees me not doing wat i'm supposed to do...usually he'll urge me to study... but at the same time sometimes he's the one who lures me into watching nice videos and introducing me to games...which is what he has been doing since we were kids but somehow i'm more attentive nowadays when he tells me stuff like that....

So.... it is time to really pick up the pieces... I HAVE to get myself erm... freaked out about trials.... if i don't i ain't gonna pick up that history book.... perhaps it's because we haven't had that "study hard...do well or ur future is ruined" lecture from the counsellors yet -.-'''.... so somebody...anybody please feel free to give me a knock in the head to wake me up....i know this sounds stupid but for once i wish my parents would limit me from tv or give me a long. harsh lecture so i buck up :( .... coz most of the things i've tried aren't getting me to study... guess i work best under pressure...

Round 1 : Bazhang -1 Me-0 :'(

I don't seem to remember when my mum first started making "ba zhang" ( chinese rice dumpling thingy..) but it feels like ever since i knew how to enjoy food i'd get mum's homemade ba zhang... she'll usually make it and we just eat it... she doesn't need our help or anything but something made me realise this year that these are the traditions in our family.. my aunts wrap their own ba zhang too and usually we exchange between families and erm..how do i put it... "discuss" about each other's ba zhang... and if i don't learn how to make it... how is the tradition gonna continue?? so today was the day.. my first attempt at wrapping the ba zhang...
Its a good thing my mum let me try... coz one of my aunts offerred to teach me but i declined since i know she is a perfectionist when it comes to making food look pretty... proof being when my cousin made it with her last year she told her "The ones you wrap don't mix with mine ahh.." ..haha..and that's even when the ones my cousin wrapped looked quite nice .. i think mom cares less about stuff like that.. so all the ones i wrapped today were ...ugly...lacking rice..and all of them needed my mum's help rectify the shape... it ain't easy wrapping that piece of thing... i'll get my revenge on that thing one day >< .. how would you feel if you were defeated by a ba zhang -.-....?
