It was Poh Yee's birthday on Tuesday! And what did she do to celebrate it? She went running with us, of course. It rained the whole day and I really didnt know it was her birthday until I went over to her cubicle to ask her whether she still wanna go running, when I noticed a birthday card and a gift on her table. I asked "Today your birthday ah?". She replied "Yah lah, bo sim ah you." Hahahah she reacted the same way when I only knew she was on medical leave for a week (lasik surgery) AFTER she got back to work. Bo sim! heh, which later I found out means "No heart" or "Heartless". Kelvin commented she look much better with her hair short, I couldnt agree more. Together with Sean we drove to Macritchie but it started to rain heavily again so we just went straight and dropped Kelvin off along Lornie Road. The woman really needed to run on her birthday, so we agreed to go to California Gym to pound on the threadmill.
So off we went to cali and since they were not members, I had to sign them in and they had to listen to this fat angmoh "fitness" consultant (Chris) talk to them about membership deals and staying fit and etc etc usual sales pitch. We ran the minimum requirement of 5km and left the gym (Chris was busy with another guy who was signing up so he didnt give them a hard time letting them go) and went to Swensens to give Poh Yee a treat. I found out she's from Ipoh, Perak and that she really is a very very innocent and pleasant girl. We shared a bowl of Earthquake (8 flavours of ice cream!) and some fries and wings.
Today I went for a repeat of Subject 8 which I took for the first time on Monday. I improved and cleared my Figure 8, but my narrow plank course still suck. I need more practice. I booked for another round of practice on Saturday afternoon, just enough time after that to take a shower and make my way to Fullerton Hotel for the Appreciation Dinner.
Lots of things happening on TV tonight:
1) CNN, BBC, CNBC etc - I see a huge statue of Saddam being pulled down by an American Tank. I see the Iraqi people smiling and cheering. I have mixed feelings. For one, I am glad that Saddam the tyrant is gone. But on the other hand, I am sad that these Iraqi people do not understand why the Americans are doing this. I just hope Iraq and what God has blessed the land with do not fall from one tyrant to another. I hope liberation means just that and not laced with hidden agendas. I hope the Americans do not expect to be rewarded with oil and wealth and certainly do not PROFIT from the oil that belong to the Iraqi people and channel it back to America or God-forbid, Israel. Amen
2) On a lighter note, its Smallville's season finale tonight! 3 twisters struck Smallville and blew Lana away and Clark came running at lightning speed just in time to see hear her shout "Claaaaaaaaaaaarkkk" before her whole car got carried away into oblivion. Stay tuned to the next season premiering April 28!
3) And on a lighter lighter note with sugar on top, Noel is dead. And its Felicity's fault. I forgot what season this is, I was a huge fan of Felicity back in Season 1, watched all 23 episodes religiously and discussing each plot twist with Kian Chai at school the very next day at school, completely ignoring whoever is lecturing in front. It was way funny and touching, but it got stupid as the season goes by and I got tired of watching. The show should retire to the big video fault in the sky and not wait till it got really REALLY stupid.
Oh, and Man U got creamed 3-1 by Real Madrid. Fab.
