Flashers/Floods

Flash floods around in the little island here near the equator. I always wished I could be stuck in a flooded place when I was little. I remember how excited i was hopping around the first level of my house at Telok Kurau when I was still so little because the rain had caused a flood to the ankles. While jumping and splashing around from the backyard to the front porch in the flood happily, the parents and maid were busy clearing the water out of the house and moping up everything. Naughty right, i know ;) But the image of me getting stuck in a flood now is highly undesirable and I really pity the cars and pedestrians at Bukit Timah where the flash floods occurred.

These few days i've been walking briskly in the rain and enduring the beyond-comfortable-levels-of-cold bus rides. Brief moments of reflections occur and I just enjoyed the surroundings flash by as the bus kicks up a few puddles along the road.

I think about how life is like right now that I have fewer commitments.
More frequent lunches and dinners with mom at places of my choice(usually we pop quite an amount because of my picky & spoilt preference in food), more shopping experiences which usually end up with more food along the way because both of us don't have much endurance for shopping - we usually buy the priority items and get tired after that before settling for some high tea snacks.
Mom thinks the frozen yogurt is cool and we both agree that Berrylite is nicer than Frolick.

Recently both of us just signed up for yoga classes at True Yoga. The first couple of classes left me aches in places I never knew could ache. These classes intertwined with climbing is much enjoyable especially so when i know yoga complements climbing.
Today when I completed the overhang yellow with Philip belaying me, I felt a new sense of exhilaration since the last time I could do so much when Allen was coaching us in Philip's absence. Hopefully tomorrow I have the balls to attempt babyroof yellow. That was the peak of my climbing before the long hiatus for promos. I'm just this close to getting back my highwall climbing after so long.

Let's not even talk about bouldering. I'm pretty upset that there are so much bouldering comps and so few difficulty ones. Why why why... T.T I'm always so psyched to do highwall but the energy level dips really quickly for bouldering. I guess it's similar to my running style. I like long and slow runs like difficulty climbing, unlike sprints, they require short bursts of energy, which i lack for bouldering.

It's coming close to 3 months since we broke up, I feel as if I have so much stuffs happening in school to occupy my mind that I haven't exactly had any time to reflect everything.
The bid to remain single for as long as I possibly can will kick in till after As. Cross my fingers, i'll be a nun till Uni, and not let my mind stray off to let emotions get the better of me. Afterall, i'm known to be the heartless and emotionless person, right? ;)

The trip to Batu Caves is approaching ever so closely. Hopefully my rash and itch all dies down before the trip. I don't want it to worsen with the mozzies buzzing in the forests, caves and crags.

After the trip, it would be OGL dance practices and work at mom's office. I love the christmas season. Chanel and I would just be happily planning end of year events for the company while wrapping up the presents for gift exchange, that's the fun side of working at the end of the year. The downside is that she has to do the job closing for all the projects(which can be really shitass), and I guess i will be my mom's assistant to do the closing for the financial year. All that extra cash which we earned would probably be spent on shopping by Chanel and I(being the good girl) would put into my savings.
It's pretty nice to have my life juggled between school and real world, makes me get a foothold of the working society and earn that extra edge with my mom's patient nurturing. I think I'm really lucky to have it all paved out... no worries about not finding a job when I graduate. Yet to count all my blessings and I am already more than happy with my life.

Have i mentioned? My brother is so buffed up from NS and he comes home with a stench no matter how many times he bathe with cologne sprayed after that. Can't wait for his POP this December 8th. =D



Makes me recall all the lovely moments and i smile to myself for being strong...
