Cycling

My study buddies are avid cyclists... just now they decided to cycle to cant a to study at 11+pm... and i stupidly agreed to cycle with them using a fren's heavy, dusty and deflated bike left in my room for 1 1/2 yrs.

i was a little shacked out after carrying down 1 1/2 stories to the car park, following which i realised how hard it is to cycle with flat tyres.

CS intended to cycle with me from hall 7, but had to wait for me instead. i had to call QZ to bring a pump from ZZ's place. he was surprisingly fast on getting here, but had to help me adjust an unaligned rear tyre before air could go in.

Once done, 3 of us cycled to cant A, tackling 2 long gentle upslopes. My body now had its revenge on me for feeding it junk food, too much food and depriving it of much needed exercise. 1/2 way up the 1st slope i was panting; 1/2 way up the 2nd slope i was walking.

we rested below the steps leading up to the canteen for 5-10mins: i was out of breath and sweating. after that couldn't really settle down to study. all 3 of us agreed that it wld've been faster if i walked.

lesson learnt: 1) i need to cut down on food and increase exercise. 2) I shdn't cycle.

note to self: say "no thanx", and walk. (applicable for cycling invites and insurance agents.)

Getting Started

Why am I blogging? I used to think it was kinda dumb... who's going to stumble on ur crappy diary and actually take the time to read something totally irrelevant to their own lives? and the ppl who blog just seem to want some club or venue to vent their relationship angst and complain abt how crappy their life is and blah blah blah...

I think I've just been made a new member.

Anwyay. I'm blogging coz todae i realised just how effective blogging is to communicate really true feelings. I had the privilege of reading a study buddy's blog todae... and realised that she's sometimes upset about ppl ribbing her abt she being like a guy. she didn't explicitly mention me, but I'm guilty of that, although i honestly didn't know she'd get upset over it. she seems to take it so well in her stride. kinda sorry... i wld never want to hurt a fren on purpose. therefore from now on i shall cut down on the "guy ribbing". seriously, she's ok... 100% girl. even wears skirts on a regular basis! just that she likes to cut her hair short like butch liddat.... ;-P

I also was told of a close fren's blog by another of our group... i was lamenting to her over a certain life situation i'm struggling with (more on that next time) and just wanted a listening ear, but she was kinda telling me (nicely of coz) that there's nothing i cld do but just LL and suck thumb... it wasn't helping, so i just said straight up that she wasn't helping, lets talk abt something else. didn't know that had hurt her and earned a place in her blog.

see? blogging so effective. so from now on i shall ramble abt my feelings so i dun need to confront anyone when they hurt me... just give them this website address. hahahha

but didn't know i cld still piss ppl off... guess they're just too nice to tell me.

thought of the day: "If I wasn't me, I'd piss myself off"

note to self: be a nicer, more sensitive person.
