falling asleep at work

Hi, I'm reporting in at work.
2nd week of my first job, 9.41AM.
It's only roughly been an hour since work began and I'm already falling asleep.
WHICH IS WHYYYY I'm finally updating HAH trying to wake myself.

My condition during the first week of work was VERY much NOT ideal lol. Fever from the first day, followed by coughing and flu. Also, I had absolutely nothing to do from day 1 to almost end of day 3. The pain of having nothing to do but still not allowed to sleep is awful.

I didn't get enough sleep for a sick person sigh. Since there was tadika concert last Friday, had to make preparations aka less sleep. On the weekends, there's BB senior badge camp. Again, no sleep haahahha. Bro, I felt so damn tired and sleepy last night, I was "fishing" while standing.


Seriously, I am so sleepy even after 7 hours of sleep. I want to take a 4-hour nap right now but ughhhh I can't. Gotta power through until lunch at 12.30PM.. maybe I can take a power nap then? TT


Alright, that's it for now. I'm slightly more awake now. Just slightly. A bit.

Hiking trips: success & failure

Hahahahhahahahha and I thought I would blog more regularly in 2019. Guess not lmao. Still won't give up tho cuz it's my blog's 10th birthday this year! One of my greatest strengths is my perseverance (with things I like), if I do say so myself HAHA


The first and official Kapz hiking trip was when we hiked up Lepoh with QL back in September 2018. 8 months passed before we finally broke the hiatus. It started during our cg badminton night when QY made the suggestion to hike lol we wanted to hike Kanching Waterfalls. Persuaded AC and WH to come along heheh and oooh I'm glad we went!

This entire thing was suggested by LQY, and we agreed to meet up at church at 7am. But boi, 8am liao also haven't come. We were like, "are we here to see 赞美操???" hahahah in the end, we just drove to QY's house and banged on his door to wake him up cuz he even turned off his phone TSK.

Anyways, all was well. We arrived at around 9am? 

Hikers: QY, YJ, AC, WH and YS

This is an easy hike since there's no "real" mountain path. They're all just stairs but they're hella steep lah sooo not exactly suitable for elders. Maybe because we haven't exercised for a while but we kept stopping along the way to catch our breathes HAHA there are a few different mini waterfalls and pools along the way so that's cool.

We arrived at the big waterfall at the top within an hour. And yoooo it's a big reward for little effort! It's probably the biggest waterfall I've ever seen (which isn't saying much cuz I've only seen a few lmao but ye) and sitting on the rocks at the pool is soooo nice. There's a cool breeze coming from the waterfall and it's just very relaxing. It was wonderful, ok.

 

Upon arriving - my awks smile, ok.

Climbed up the waterfall, looks noice.
tbh it's quite scary standing next to the water hahah

看太多新闻报道有人被瀑布的水冲力冲走 ahahhaha

im looking ratchet but sitting on the rocks there srsly cooling.

actually, it's too cold for me hahah

the water was freezinggggg cold.

Fueled by our hiking success, we began to look up more places to hike on the net and we stumbled upon Puchong Hill which houses the Blue Lagoon ahhhh. This time, lots more hikers came along, even Yixin eh hahhahahha but guess whaaaaat. It was an EPIC FAIL. Amazing.

We walked & hiked nonstop for 3 hours. So freaking tiring, my legs were about to give up on me. We were also almost lost cuz we couldn't escape the "lake" area. Tbh I wasn't worried at all at the time lol cuz I fully trust that YA and QY will find a way out hahahahaha

Also, srsly applaud yixin because he could actually catch up with us. Unexpectedly showed off his athletic prowess? HAHA anyways, we found out we started on the wrong trail right from the beginning. :-)))))) feeling 不甘愿 cuz of our mistake caused by lack of research ha. NEXT TIME.

Otw to IOI Mall for lunch after escaping the mountain hahah

Hiking makes me realise just how unfit I was, and still am.

hahahhahah

More hiking trips, I guess? :目

It's a jolly Christmas!

I'm on sem break now which means I can finally catch up on blogging lol.
throwback to December 2018, I was struggling to get thesis done & catching up on studies.
but that doesn't mean I was going to let them ruin my Christmas ;-)

honestly, I put Christmas as my priority and everything else is just second to that.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve started with a surprise visit to YJ's house and bringing him out for lunch!
Boi didn't expect anything HAHA
Lunch at Wizards at Tribeca and walked around myTown.

Then we returned to prepare for the annual Christmas Eve 布道会
I'm glad that the cameraman took this photo.
This is our last band performance ever.
and since trombone are always in the back, we don't usually get photos.
but yay, really happy there's this one last photo of the trombone section :目

Dance performance choreographed by YA ft. AC and me heheh
haven't danced in a very long time.

Aaaaand the annual very white Christmas Eve group photo :目

also, this same shot of me and AC that we also took last year.


Christmas Day!

After morning service, it's gift exchange time!
it''s probably our most successful gift exchanges ever hahah
I know Christmas isn't about presents,
it's about the birth of Jesus and spending time with family and friends
but it's still hella exciting to receive a gift :b

this year's wacky Christmas group photo mou HAHA




Shrouded in work and anxiety,
I couldn't fully enjoy Christmas without stress.
I'm just thankful that I had the capacity in me to actually put everything aside.
(I can say this now because it's already over and I don't have to deal with it anymore lol)

Adios, 2018.

Didn't have the time to properly reflect but I guess this is it, 2018.

Adios.

It has been just way too hectic.

Everything was so overwhelming, yet at the same time, I was so unbelievably chill lol.

My attitude hasn't changed and I wonder if that's a good thing or not hah

Reading my diary (yes, I've been keeping a diary for 5 years now)
most of the first half 2018 was spent on chasing after entertainment.
Watching dramas, anime, reading webtoon, manga, etc.
有点堕落 其实 hahah cuz that's what all I talked about.

The second half of 2018 was more eventful (and stressful).
chopped my hair short in June.
first road trip to Melaka with trioooo, also in June.
joined Pesta Beyond, my last as a member, in August.
thailand trip with my girls in September.
kapz first hiking trip in September.
junyi came to visit in September.
qingling flew to uk to pursue law in September.
got my froggo glasses in October.
one of the brightest birthdays I've ever had in November.
intense preparations for awards day in November.
japan family trip in Nov/December.
fengyuan camp in December.
christmas busy days in December.
thesis finally done in December.



I had a great last day of 2018 heheh

I remember very clearly what I did on 1st Jan 2018.

Had lunch at Foret (trader's square)

Returned back to uni on 1st Jan 2019 hah

in one way or another.
Here's to 2019, I guess. 🥂



2019 will be a year of change.
Father, please hold my hand.
