my favourite Instrument, the cello



Schindler's List - hauntingly beautiful
One cannot help but tear while listening to this piece. Its almost impossible to affected by the music. Somehow its simple to the ear but heavy on the heart. Its subtle, and so sad and it just lingers, haunting. The high notes are eerie and makes my hair stand. But I keep hitting the repeat button.

hmm its 5am have yet to sleep, 3hours to work

Decided its time to bring it out for some alone time. The sun at its full force but cycling along the park connectors and B.Park provided shade.

Tried out the Bishan to Lower/Upper Pierce, slopes are a killer there... but I manage to push myself to cycle up the hills... man.. I pushed those quadriceps.



Cycled back down to lower and decided to cycle around the reservoir...



I miss cycling.. reading D's entry made me miss night cycles. Oh well gimme my front and back lights then off I go into the dark.

sidenote: Only did about 16km today... how am I to complete a 40km


------[edited]--------

on a happier note something.. greenish with weird colour combi came in an envelope...need I add a really gross picture of me on it too..

its the LICENSE..... hmm ok where is the car?

I hate emotional people.. they whine too much.

I hate myself.

dunk me in a tub of ice-cold water I need to wake up.. clearly I do.

On another note:
Had the usual meeting today.
blah.. I have another new class..
now I teach in three different classrooms.

the slopes are a killer...

Today was a really good nice happy morning @ NUS. The S.O. Kids took part in PEARL IZUMI ZERO-CARBON FAMILY AQUATHON @ SOUTH WEST 2008. The race consist of a 200-m swim in the pool, then a 2-km run/walk, followed by another 200-m pool swim and finally another 2-km run/walk. Something for the family to enjoy nothing to do with competing but everything with completing. and looking at the 'theme' zero carbon it was to raise awareness about saving the environment. The athletes had fun teaming up in pairs, and i was pacer for one of the older athlete :D. It wasn't an easy 2km (and based on foot pod calculations it was over 2km) The slopes.. were are killer especially to those who are not used or have not trained on slopes. On the 2nd 2km I had to push my runner. We did well and they had fun. :) Then I paced another friend of mine (for fun...) And lastly I was a runner for the 3rd wave, another dear friend decided to just sign up but had no runner :(

Hmmm so in total I did 4 rounds of the NUS slopes (approx 2.4km each loop) Goodness? Well that made up for my mizuno mt faber run which I wanted to do today but gave a miss.

And the aftermath... my left ITB is kinda sore.. super trying to stretch it and letting it rest!

And for those avid runners who just want to run with children with special needs and just have fun? Keep your 20 JULY free (erm.. that's the shape'08 run too unfortunately) We are having a fun raising event :D

check out LET ME RUN WITH YOU I am sure you will find it meaningful and the kids are just going to be thrilled to have you there! Will post more when I get more details.

Diana & King!! Dap!! (Can get your pal Denise too and others!) Sam? Rachie & Sis? Tiff I know your doing the Shape. Wendy! Amanda! (can always do a run/walk) Oh of cos Janice :D (haha if you have a free Sunday Morning to spare)

Sped Teachers!!! :D Something small for our special kids ~

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on
The ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
