After all e dayz... Its over... Fer a while...

Songz bohz... Finally completed my 3 midterms in 1 day... Wah, sibei xiong... cos trying to mug all 3 subjects together, hope i din neglect any subject too much... Think everything shd turn out to be ok, not too bad i hope... But felt darn shiok after finishing my exams... Its like a burden finally thrown off... Had a badminton n soccer match after it too... Darn exciting day in CMU... ARguably one of the most fulfilling ones... too bad the badminton match we won by forfeit, din get a chance to play... Else will vent all my pented up frustrations over the last few days at it... Soccer wasnt good though, our team was kena pushed everywhere... I was darn mad too, and in fact i think i used my hands almsot as much as my legs... Went in fer challenges very aggressively, esp towards those 2 stupid angmohs who are only good at being physical... Stupid Americans, y cant they play soccer with more grace n skill? Like the last time we lost to another team, kena thrashed 10-5 but i feel tt they play really wif skill... Good passing, good control, good shots... this team, good luck only... 1 tyco goal, n 1 1/2 tyco goal... Tmd... Sibei sianz... esp now tt our hopes of getting into the 2nd phase is being dented liaoz...

N just realised that i only saved my drafts and forgot to post them... Haha, stupid me... Shall go post e rest of the stuff now...

1 more week to go... I will survive...

Had a darn stressed week last yday... Yeah, studies... Wad else? Concepts mid term was stressing me out, fer dunno wad reason... I normally not stressed at maths stuff one, even 1st exam i oso take it ez, but this one, wah, really got me kan cheong bt it... Understood e stuff in e end, but still haiz... Was darn sad after the exam itself, cos i know its like a gone case... Had to comfort myself... Wif e 10 great reasons y i shd be upset...
1. Its only a mere 10%, i mean, even if u get 20, u lose 8% only... Still can get A
2. Comon larz, get a life... Its not as though e world is ending...
3. if everyone think like u, then counsellors would be the richest ppl in e world...
4. a B in concepts is nothing larz, gpa 3.8 wun die... dun worry...
5. screwing up in concepts is part n parcel of life...
6. Gpa is nothing much larz, the more impt thing is u learn n apply it next time...
7. There are more things in life than 1 lil exam...
8. U already flunk so many tests in ur life, wads 1 more?
9. If u lydat oso worry until so much, then i think u've "bai huo le"
10. Failures are the mothers of successes... (so, the more u fail, e more u'll succeed next time)

Cant seem to conc... Arrgh

Think i really relaxed too much liaoz... Cant seem to get any work done at home liaoz... Once i see my laptop, i'll use it... Once i start using it... I wun stop... N its not about doing homework on my laptop, its chatting or watching movies... Arrgh... Nv liked watching movies on laptop, but now, getting addicted... To stupid Joey Trippiani (dunno-how-to-spell)... The series is darn funny lorz, i really think Matt LeBlanc's e man... I am usually quite conscious of my work one, but now, i am piaing the whole series... He is like a male version of a bimbo, looks good, good at hooking up wif girls, but darn stupid... Haha... Dunno y i like him so much too... But to whoever's reading this, u shd really go WATCH!!!

As a lil continuation to my previous entry, the kueh we made was a hit in the night market... Sold fer darn fast, n many ppl really like it... I like it a lot too, esp e custard... looking at it reminds me of my fav custard puffs in sg, those yellow milky custard... *salivates* Stupid me, torturing myself wif my thoughts... *shoos thoughts away from mind* Kk, where am i? Oh yar, food... Another food stall thingy coming up soon, this time its kaya toast... Think i really wanna try to make our own kaya, wif some recipe from dunno-where... N glad to haf Mr Zhuang to wanna make kaya too, at least can go experiment wif him... Lolz...

These 2 days havent been doing much work... think i'm starting to experiene the piling workload... Not tt i hate my work, but just cant rid myself of the movie addiction nowadayz... Same as food lorz... I ferever feel like eating stuff... Even though i may be full liaoz, but mouth darn naughty, keep inciting me to munch chocs or wadever... Bad bad... self control getting from bad to worse, help!!! I dun want go back sg then ppl tell me i "fa fu" le... Talking bt sg, feeling so homesick these dayz suddenly... Family, frens, food, the 3 Fs i miss... But shallnt talk bt such depressing stuff liaoz... Shall talk bt happier stuff tts coming up... Hmm... Lets c... Wad is there? Hmm... Maybe the watching of joey after this... N subsequent nights... N... dunno liaoz...

How come i sound so sad? Not tt i hate pitt life, i quite enjoy my current routine these days, but just cant seem to find anything which can really make me look forward too... Either its cos there aint anything good, or life here's been quite not bad such tt even fun activities share similar utility levels to my current life... Think i've gone rambling for quite a while now... Feeling better now tt i've finished with my crap...

N oh yar, stupid iwebmusic cant seem to be accessed... So dun think u all can bask in e song by Andy Hui while reading thru all this stuff... Quite sad too... But its seriously a good song, which is quite hard to sing... Actually, dunno y but a lot of songs tt i like are like darn hard to sing lorz... Feel so sad bt my vocals... Y my voice so low n sad... Haiz... 3 more months to KTV... counting down...

Making kueh... which is actually nice to eat!

After seeing the toilet a lil more than frequent these few days, i think i've finally more or less back to normal... eh, but is it really normal? Hmm... Supper every night b4 sleep aint really that normal to me... I've always tried to be conscious of my own weight (eh, though i not girl, but i am darn paranoid bt getting fat too... ) , to be more exact, my tummy... Thoughts its bloated so din really take much notice of it when i eat... n eat... n eat... until i realised that my tummy is no longer bloated but its tt i'm getting fat... Arrgh, kena fake by myself... Grr... But i'm real glad at least everything's quite good now...

Was quite bz last few dayz trying to clear off work... I usually clear my work a few days before the deadline, but due to my not feeling too well, i gave myself the excuse to be on holiday fer a while, not doing homework until its like due tmr... Then i had to "oh shucks" n be stressed n try to pia it out... Haiz... N it wasnt too gd a feeling... Must go back to my clear-b4hand-days... Shall start from now... As in tmr... after i play basketball, have dinner, play soccer or watch movie, haf supper, relax... then i shall start... Yeah =p

Today went to make kueh, yeah its those green colour kueh with white glutinous rice below it... Machiam like those at bengawan solo kind... Nv expect it to be so ma fan though, as in not the tedious procedures but rather, the tools that are needed to make it... so many stuff needed... Wah, real glad my prez's house "ying you jin you", really power... the kueh tastes very nice, almost got bengawan solo standard, just tt e coconut smell not tt power... But we using canned coconut milk n some recipe from dunno-where, so got this kindaf standard i think very good liaoz... Think i really saw the cooking-side of me today... As in i really enjoyed myself learning n stuff even though i'm not a frequent cooker... (cooker as in someone who cooks regularly) Think i should really try cooking on my own soon, even though i know this is the 431094812 times i've said that... Shall start trying cooking n then practicing in front of my shi fu when i go back sg... Wait n c...

Was doing a lil thinking these days... Sometimes in life, its really good to have an objective at every part of ur life... Eg, something to look forward to do... something that keeps u occupied n happy... It'd be perfect if its homework, then i can mug all i want n be darn happy about it... Too bad its not... haiz... But if u seriously think about it, its really true... Every phase of ur life that u feel happy or satisfied, u'd definitely have that objective which puts that smile on ur face n heart... It was sports n tv in sec skool, engaging in school activities n socializing in jc, hanging out wif frens in army... Its really good to have an aim in wadever phase of life u are in, an aim u look forward to do, not something u wish to avoid... Thoughts running amok now, dun really know how to put this across... But when it comes to emotions, unless u're really certain of certain stuff, do not really put all ur hopes in one basket, that basket which determines the life n death of ur heart...

U may be doing everything u could, but wads more impt is, does he/her appreciate it? If not, is there really any point in doing? Its always nice to do things for others, but i think there shd always be a limit, a limit as to how much you shd be doing... No point doing everything u think is good but yet to the other party, its more of a burden than a pleasure... But come to think of it in another way, how much can a person actually take until the boundary is crossed? As in economic terms, if the price of the good is dropping until u're making a loss, y not take a step back n shut down the firm? Cutting down on ur losses is always better... Think i reading up on too much econs already... whole mind full of economic terms... Reminds me of another issue... Can everything in life be related to econs too? Even when it comes to relationships between friends and more? Hmm...

Realised that my songs haven been playing normally... Arrgh... Shall change to another one...

Come to think of it, i haven been saying any lil quotes fer a long long time... So here's it...

Full like nv b4...

Feeling quite like old pitt life again, the spring break having seem like gone... N wif my hands full of hw which has to be done... Sianz1/2... But wads worse, i'm having some bad problems wif my tummy... Had diarrhoea yday n today... Went to toilet fer 6 times yday, arrgh... But yet, i do not feeling hungry or wadever, in fact i feel darn full... think its "pong hong" (in hokkien), meaning air in stomach... Now my stomach looks like a beer belly, darn big n round... even though i've missed 2 breakfasts n lunches... Dxn seem to affect my stomach at all... Think mebbe i ate sth wrong back in Peru, which i doubt... Or mebbe its the altitude n climatic change... Hmm... But no matter wad, lets hope i get better soon ya?

Juz came from from a tiring day of Winning Eleven... Cant believe tt i actually spent e whole day playing Winning Eleven at Junwei's place... Tot i'm not that playful n have more discipline over myself... But alas! Now really gotta pia hw liaoz... Its not like very little also lorz... The buildup will be fer the next 3 weeks... 1 weeks worse than e other... But come 1st April, i'll be giving myself a lil break... Hmm, y think so far for? Shd just concern myself wif my present state... N enjoy myself while i can... Like tonight... Pia-ing my movies n shows... Haha... bo bianz, still in my break mood, so cant really do work... Hehz... Think i'm just using my diarrhoea as an excuse fer me to rest n enjoy myself... Sick cant do work mahz... Lolz... Hopefully i wun be using this excuse fer long...

Ok, Lima's not as lame as it seems to be... I was wrong...

Watched Juve vs Real on espn… Y stupid Us forever not showing soccer? Just cos it aint so gd at it, dxn mean tt it shd make it so hard fer ppl in US to watch soccer. I’m sure that there are definitely many ppl who like soccer in US too… Glad tt juve won in e end, just to make up fer Barca not qualifying… Sianz… Pray tt Liverpool wun screw up again, n hope they can play well…

Xferred to Lima early in e morning… Was beginning to be sick of Lima (even though I;ve only been there fer 1 day), but I’m beginning to find tt there aren’t much stuff to do there… Hiyohz… The only thing we can do, is walk down tt busy street to the Larco Mar where all the nice restaurants are n eat a gd meal… did it twice already, a third time would seem kindaf lame fer me… Considering tt we’re planning to do tt fer e night… 4 times really dxn seem gd… Went to wander in another street n finally, found this shopping centre…. Or rather, departmental store… Wah, finally, a place with nice air con n with more stuff to buy than simply shoes, ice-creams, etc… the prices are really quite nice fer quality items… Seems like a typical Sg store on sale… but at least, it beats walking down a familiar street to a familiar place…

Had a city tour of the place in e afternoon… Really enjoyed it a lot… Went around the whole city n different districts, looking at the different parts of peru, all e different cultures there existed… Find the archeological museum the most exciting, I mean, the guide gave us a really really good insight into the history of Peru, how the different tribes became dominant in different eras, what are their practices and stuff like that… Saw carved stones dating back to 1000 years b4 Christ… or even older… Nv tot peru is so deep into culture, I’m truly impressed… N guess what, I saw a Mummy! Its like a piece of skeleton wrapped by a thin cloth, nothing like those Egyptian mummies at all… Its more like a dried corpse with a piece of cloth over it… Omg… I cant believe it myself tt I’m actually looking at one… We went on to see many amazing stuff… Like how the doctors of the past used gold to full up holes in the skulls of soldiers, and some actually survived! N how the ancient people used to carve delicate sculptures on drinking instruments… The pictures are really wonderful, a pity I couldn’t take them down… Had a really enjoyable time at the museum, learning all about the rich culture which peru holds… Finally, i'm beginnning to get what i wanted to see when i came... Peru wif its history n culture, n not any old undeveloped place which is trying to pull off its tourism industry...

A week b4 I came, Peru just seems to be a backward, undeveloped South American country, a typical view I hold towards south America… But now, I’m really glad I got to know the culture and history behind Peru n South America… Its been a really enjoyable trip… Was feeling kindaf sad tt I had to go back to old Pittsburgh, after having got used to life there… All the panting after the slightest exertion due to the thin air in cusco… All the bargaining and haggling of prices… All the grilled and bbq-ed food at good prices… All the fruits there which I cant find in Pitt… All the attempts to communicate what I meant to the ppl there who dun understand eng… All the…

Machu Pichu... Wad an experience...

Chelsea still got thru in the end… Haiz… tot Barca won 3-1 but it was only 2-1 last time… Sad sad… Not tt I dun like Chelsea, but I dun like those teams made wif money to be so strong… Shows tt money can make e world go round, which I personally dun believe to be so… Anyway, went to sleep after some reading, at ard 2 even though I know I have to wake up at 5 30… Yeah u guessed it… The night din go exactly well fer me, again… Gd sleep, no sickness, only not enuff sleep as I had to wake up and I went to bed at 2+… Sherlock holmes is simply too intruiging… Concussed totally on the 3hr train ride to Machupicchu, started e tour at only 10+… The place is really very beautiful, as u can really see signs of it being an actual place where ppl stayed… Its really amazing how ppl can move those huge rocks n build such nice n sturdy structures in the past, I really admire them for their resourcefulness… sadly though, it was raining n the ground was wet n with fog keep blocking our view… the tour guide was darn good though, explaining every single characteristic of the city to us, the astrological aspects, religious aspects, residential aspects, etc… but yet, sadly, the city has not been properly protected by the government, resulting in erosion and blatant violations of rules which have caused much damage to the place… During the tour, I dun really find the place that amazing, but it’s the story that was told to me that amazes me… I dun understand it too… When everyone seems to be so enchanted by the city? Then I realize the one thing missing… There are not proper artifacts or items of the Incas at all, but rather, just simply architectural wonders… It was only then I realized that the scientific discoverer of MachuPichu, Professor Bingham had obtained permission from Peru’s government to bring the artifacts back to Yale… Wth!!! How can he simply take all these n nv return them? I am really appalled by this… He shd at least return them after taking, but they’re all now fer exhibition in US… It seems to me as though he’s stealing these national treasures of Peru for intentions I do not want to speak of.. N all those corrupt officials!!! How can they ever betray their own country, their own culture? I absolutely despise them…

Spent another 4.5 hrs on e train ride back to the city… Just find it so inefficient, spending a total of 8 hrs going to the city, n spending only about barely 3 hours looking and exploring the city… w/out even c-ing any of the artifacts left behind… But at least, I really enjoyed the tour guide explaining the whole story behind Machu Pichu, which is so simply wondrous… Felt really homesick on the way back… Kept thinking of my family back in sg, wishing to talk to them on the phone immediately… Remembered all the great times we had together, how much sacrifices and hardship they went through for me n my sis to have a comfortable life… How absolutely selfless my parents are… Mebbe its nature, but I really felt so bad now… The number of times I’ve been so willful n stubborn… Haiz… Too much thoughts inundating my mind… I was reminded of my grandma too… Nv felt so strong a desire to fly back before… Not for the sake of having fun, but just simply to meet up with my family …

Went to do some last min shopping b4 leaving this beautiful place of Cusco… Wad an enchanting lil village… I’ll definitely miss it…

What have i ate? (yummy food)

Just saw Chelsea scored 3 goals in like 19 mins… wad e hell… But nvm, shdnt spoil e day… Yar, as I was about to say, yes, last night was a “good night”… Couldn’t get to sleep… could only think about shopping n wad else I shd buy… Spent at least like 40 mins (an underestimate most prob, but agar agar larz… ) N I just realized that barca juz scored 1… 4 goals in 27 mins… Omg… but darn exciting lorz… Ok, back to my thoughts bt the day… Or rather, night… Well despite me not being able to sleep, at least I had a nice sleep, din feel tt hot or tt weak anymore… Woke up feeling deprived of sleep but still better than yday…

Went to the Andes mountain ranges where we explored more cultural and primitive stuff… The view is really really superb, I tell u… Best view of nature I’ve ever seen… In fact, I was so captivated by the scenery tt I could feel my mind being so clear, w/out feelings of stress over anything… It really felt good… looking at nothing except mother nature’s beauty itself… All e green pastures… For a moment, I was thinking… Wad if I wasn’t born in sg… But rather, in this kindaf community… Doing nothing everyday except running ard, doing menial stuff, enjoying life, being as close to mother nature as possible… But its not gonna happen, no point thinking about it… Noticed 1 surprising thing though, no matter how ulu the place is, or how backward it is, there is always a lil field cut out for soccer in the villages in the mountains… With proper goal posts and soft grass, unlike the pitches in sg… Which totally sux… I mean even our national stadium is in such a bad cond… How to develop soccer… Goal 2010… Wad a dream… Literally…

Btw, just saw barca scored 1 more… HAha… Songz… Chelsea, bye bye… I hope… Just dun like it when money seem to be everything… It is impt, but nv everything… Went to the mountains where there are quite a lot of stuff tt caught my eye… But due to me not having enuff sols( eru currency) I did not buy… In e end, had to just walk away disappointed… Btw, as a side note: (The barca keeper has a really punkish look… Feel like giving him a punch… but lets not digress) 1 lil kid even tried to tell me to pay in US dollars with a darn abd exchange rate… She think I stupid izzit… Tmd… Decided not to even negotiate or anything, even though the stuff may be cheap… Absolutely hate it when ppl try to make a “robot” out of me… Like treating me as though I’m stupid… Cant take it… Still feeling pissed when I went back to the bus…

Dinner was excellento, with me eating a guinea pig… Yeah, no kidding… Haha guinea pig, roasted n grilled to almost perfection.. The skin felt like those roast duck skin, darn nice to eat… The meat was a lil like duck meat, but wif a different flavor… Duhz… I mean of cos every meat has to have a different flavor… Wad is lamb without its “yang sao” flavor? Haha, kk… As I was saying… Heng I nv really rear a guinea pig b4 or come into contact wif it, so I dun feel too empathetic towards it… Else I sure I wun dare to eat it… Whew… my Travel" target="_blank">travelmate though, was a worse off than me as he had been in contact wif a guinea pig b4… We had baby Alpaca too… N its darn nice lar… The meat is like medium rare, n its cooked darn well… Its similar to beef but with a nicer smell… Think its really darn nice… Cant believe today I ate 2 superbly nice meats which are so rare…

As a side note: Chelsea almost scored wif lampard while barca retaliated too… Darn gd match larz…. Every shot is s good shot, the passes are very swift n precise too… N puyol almost scored ball cleared off the line… Then cole almost, so almost scored… just an inch or less away… I dun even have time to type my blog while watching!!! Its too happening!!! N I have to say it, but that punkish keeper of barca has at least proved himself… to be even more punkish than ever…
Went to collect my goods from one of the market store yesterday… The design wasn’t quite wad I like due to insufficient material but I’m glad the girl did indeed request her daddy to make the sweater as I wanted it… So sui bian lorz… Went to ask her fer e price of a very beautiful cloth which I wanted it… She told me the “normal” opening price, n then say we fren, she cut it to a much lower price… I already had an idea of the price in mind, and at least I can say she’s being quite honest bt the price… In e end, I bought much more stuff from her then I expected… Though I could get better prices elsewhere, but I believe that since she is being quite honest, n I oso felt sympathy towards her, having to work at such a young age… So so long I feel tt the price aint too bad, I just gave it to her… But felt real gd after buying e stuff… I think she deserves to earn the money after I have seen the effort she put in to help me look fer stuff… Going all over the other shops to get e items I want… quite ke lian n nice… think sometimes, its really important as to who u buy e stuff from… U feel better if u buying from some poor kid or wadever, rather than some sinister adult who u feel is trying to “kan” u…

Shopping's e best medicine

Wah, had another “excellent” night… Cant believe it lorz… I went to meet “Zhou gong” at 11+, feeling cold… then woke up at 12 30, yes, juz 1 hr later… Feeling super hot… Very stuffy… very hot… Had a bad headache too… Suspected I had a bad fever… But was too lz to do anything except to try to get back to sleep… Woke up no less than 6 times, n kept dreaming of stuff… Or was it just me thinking of stuff? Or is it juz a figment of my imagination? I really dunno… The dreams dun seem to differ a lot, except tt I’m feeling darn weak… Arrgh… Finally, saw e sun n took a look at e clock, 7+… Felt real bad… Went to take my temperature weakly… 39.4… Bad bad… It must have been worse last night… Quickly popped 2 pills down b4 trying to sleep again… Must be the climate I think… Always tot tt I’m resistant to all these crap viruses but alas… Reality has proven me wrong… Really hope to recover fast, dun wanna waste my holz… Arrgh..

Woke up again at 10 + feeling better, had some breakfast b4 popping 2 pills n then going back to rest… Wanna be fully energized b4 going fer horse riding… Felt so bad towards my travelmate, he had to like stay in e room wif me, even though I asked him to go travel… But ½ thru my sleep, I heard like huge rain drops falling onto the window pane… But slept thru all e noise… Woke up at 1+ , arrgh, had to faster hurry to get ready fer horse riding… Felt much better, at least 70% recovered… It was only then I saw tt its not raining at all juz now, its hailing!!! 1st time c-ing hail… little ice balls gathering outside the window… Mebbe it was a gd idea to sleep… Else we’d be stuck outside… N its kindaf dangerous too…Had to cancel horse riding, haiz, felt so disappointed…

After I had more or less recovered, we went shopping!!! Wah… Here got a lot of shops, a lot of lil alleys, a lot of stuff to buy… The mere sight of these shops really re-energized me… I could feel blood flowing thru my veins, (not tt blood dxn flow thru my veins but, yar, u get wad I mean… ) Here the shops can really bargain one… They can tell u 100 sols, (peru currency) but they can easily cut it to like 70 sols… Or even better… I just love bargaining fer some reason… Not tt I’m tt gian over tt few sols, but its juz e feeling of bargaining… Haha… Really enjoyed myself, all the bargaining makes me fully forget about my illness… But wad was surprising was that many of the shops were manned by young girls… They all seem so pitiful… At least they’re trying to earn a living by selling stuff… I really quite admire them fer their independence… But come to think of it, they’re actually quite gd at haggling over prices… From e way they quote n everything… Hmm… think I’m contradicting myself… come to think of it, if I knew anyone is treating me as a chopping board, I wun give in… But if I see them so pitiful, I think I’d voluntarily give them money… Confusing eh? But its juz me…

Had another great dinner tonight… With one of the possibly best potatoes I’ve eaten in my whole life… It came seemingly as a whole potato, I thought it so at first glance. But after the first bite, the inside of the potato seems to be like the Malaysian “ bergedel” or rather, similar to mash potato but not so mashed… There is minced beef wif pepper and onions in it too, which enhances the already great taste of the potato… Songz… Had steak after tt, n of cos, pisco sour (the sour tequila like thingy) all fer less than 8US dollarz… Can u believe it? Lolz… Hahaha… Went fer more shopping at night, n it was only back at the hotel tt I realized I bought too much stuff… Its really a lot lorz… But I think I really enjoyed the shopping today, 1stly, I really loved all the stuff I bought, n 2ndly, they’re all at a darn gd price… Darn songz… Ate some lovely peaches fer supper too, n its really darn gd… Long time since I tasted such sweet peaches… Reminds me of papa… Who always buys nice fruits fer me to eat… Beginning to think of home now… I really miss u all back in sg…

Altitude Sickness? Or plain weakness...

Wah, yesterday night was darn “good” lorz… Reminds me of the times in the past… Army times that is… We machiam kena invaded by a horde of mosquitoes… N the stupid hotel is soooo hot… Stuffy I’d say… Then I can hear like mosquitoes flying ard my ear, landing on my hands… So wad to do, I had to like cover myself up totally with e blanket, sweating like a roasted pig inside the blanket… Tmd… Couldn’t sleep lorz… N had to wake up like 6 30 to go catch flight… Wah… Super shag man… Was practically stoning the whole morning… On e flight, b4 the flight, after e flight… Tried to get as much sleep as possible, but haiz… juz din feel gd… Even after my short nap…

City tour starts at 2... However, I juz din really feel gd at all… Felt very weak… As in physically… I suspect its low bp, feels exactly e same as I always did when I had low bp… Palms were like completely white, w/out any signs of blood… N feeling numb… No matter how I rub it din I still felt as bad… Mebbe its altitude sickness, thin air not giving me enuff oxygen… Arrgh… Visited the temple of the sun, where the tour guide gave us an insight into the history of the Incas… Where the architecture was magnificent… but I wasn’t paying much attention… Due to me feeling quite sick… even the grand cathedral which was so beautifully endowed din manage to get me to be interested in it… Haiz… quite sad… In fact, I was kindaf hoping the tour would end faster… Stupid right? But bo bian, me really feeling darn sick… Trying hard not to show it…

Went to visit the Incas sites atop of a highland, where a ruined fortress lies… Dunno y but somehow, I felt a lil better, manage to like walk without much difficulty… lay on e grass patches enjoying the nice sun n cool breeze… Took many pics too… though think they all quite similar…But heck larz… Went on the visit other stony places which appeal to me much more than the museums or buildings…

Had a nice buffet dinner wif consisting of several Peruian dishes fer a mere US 10… Here food is darn gd lorz… compared to US… Had stuff like Pisco Sour ( some tequila like drink which is nice n sour), (some kindaf of meat which u dun get to taste elsewhere), some raw fish (not salmon, but carapaca or wadever…) Listened n enjoyed peruian music fer like an hr or so… Peruian music really makes u happy… U look at them playing n dancing, it really takes away all ur stress… Mebbe its time I switch from my sad music to these kindaf happy music… Felt better after dinner though still having a lil headache… It was only after I returned to the hotel then I realized that I had actually developed a temperature… Tmd… Come here then develop fever… Took some pills b4 going to sleep… Praying hard tt I will feel better tmr… then can truly enjoy the sightseeing again… But at least, this hotel is much better than e previous one… It looks cleaner... Is naturally cold… Looks comfy too… Haha… comfy… Reminds me of my housing again… Haiz… Really feel like staying where I am staying now next sem too… Quite enjoying me life actually… kk, shall not brood over this kindaf stupid problems… Shall go read up a lil n then sleep, a great day awaits!

Peru!!!

Peru, here I come!!! Flight was long… Mebbe cos I couldn’t really sleep… Hmm… Thought about many things, which I finally got to a decision, hopefully, the decision tt would be e best fer me… shdnt waste my holz thinking and deliberating over these stupid stuff, shd just enjoy myself to the max… Looking forward to my nice cold bed in the hotel… Ahhh… Reached Peru at like 1 am, where there are 2 ppl waiting to pick us up… Feels not bad, at least everything seemed planned out… The trip to the hotel was long though, n wif the pacific ocean within view while I’m in the car, it seemed a lil dangerous to be honest… But heng everything was good… Hotel however, wasn’t really wad I expected… No aircon!! Haha, mebbe I too used to the cold weather in pitt, I really din know how I would do with this warm night… heng heng, lassitude came faster than expected, wif the zzz monster over powering my spirit…

A fren was wondering how come I aint e least excited tt I’m going to peru… I mean, I do enjoy e idea of visiting another place, but excited… hmm… think I’d be more excited about gng back to sg this summer… Where all my family n frens are, where I am much more used… However, a shudder came to mind… A thought that I’d be forgotten back in sg… Arrgh… This may be true actually… When ppl got used to life w/out me… Then we may not be together tt much even when I’m back… But, can time wash away friendship? The understanding, the bond that we have built… I dun think so… U need not always be with a fren to be a fren, the mere existence of u in his/her heart is enough… =)

Today began as a surprisingly relaxed day… Woke up darn late lorz, at ard like 10 +… Was looking forward to the breakfast at the hotel… But it was juz bread n nothing much lorz… but had like melon juice fer breakfast… Darn nan de lorz… Fruits are like a luxury in US… Darn hard to find pure fruit juices lorz, so u can imagine my happiness when I saw fresh fruit juices… Yet, as I explored the different shops, I c fruit juices, but no signs of fresh fruits at all… Hmm…

Went to the city area of Lima, capital of peru… There are really a lot of shops… this I promise u… But wad I can guarantee even more, is that I close my eyes, point to a shop, and within 5 tries, I can definitely guess wad e shop is selling…
1st. Ice-cream… (dun ask me y lima likes ice cream so much, but I have seen at least 20 shops selling similar kinds of ice-cream… )
2nd. Shoes… there are really like tones of shops selling leather shoes… But all quite ex… bt 30+ US for a pair of not so nice shoes… Not really tt gd imo… 3rd. Clothes… Yeah, u’ll be expecting me to go all crazy n start burning a hole in my pocket… but no… I controlled myself… Din buy a single shirt… or pants… Haha… There are really a lot of shirt shops, almost 20% of all e shops… But cos they all sell female shirts!!! Grr… U can c like 95% of the shop with female clothes, then 1 pathetically pathetic part of the shop sells some lousy male clothing… Haiz… Y!!! *sighs*
4th. Jewellery… Again, this kindaf shop aint fer blitzy to go too… All darn ex lorz… Mi no money to spend… Even if buying, I’d prefer to buy in US or sg.. At least it’d seem more worthy… Think its just common mentality among ppl… Tt if given the same amt of money, I’d rather spend it where things are more ex, as compared to where things are cheaper…
5th. Forgot wad liaoz… haha… best ans… My memory not tt gd…

Went 2 tony romas fer dinner… N can u believe it, a plate of ribs full plate mind u, cost less than 10 US… Or almost there lar… But fer a meal block n more, u can actually eat tony romas ribs!!! Still remember e time I went to tony romas in sg, I spent quite a bomb… N e memory wasn’t exactly a gd one, so shall not try to recall it… Haha… Me best in running away from reality one… Lolz…

Typing my blog now in this lil hot hotel room… Flying to Cusco tmr… Hope another great time awaits…

Great day, despite e freezing winds... N all e cold...

Day was off to a gd start wif me waking up early... This seldom happens, i guarantee... U can ask my roommate fer a better description... Haha... He ferever waking up earlier than me, sometimes sleeping later too... Me becoming more and more gippish... Arrgh... Where is the old blitzy who can survive w/out much sleep??? Gone i suppose... Haiz...

Only bad thing bt today was me being too stupid n blur enough to step into a lil depression filled with water... arrgh... It was during the night, when howling winds were tearing through the darkness, when the icy snow flakes seem to be piercing thru ur skin... U are walking through this lil path, finding e shortest route to the next shelter... So much to the extent u like to cut short corners... U c a black spot at one corner, no different from the pavement... U quickly stepped onto it, n then u get a nice surprise... Its a deep puddle of water... So much that ur pants got wet n ur shoe is gone...Wad e hell... Darn cold water too, n wif my feet being soaked in it... Awww...

Darn shagged out today... After soccer... But i must say, today's one of the rare days i din get injured at all... Happy man... Though din play too well... Feeling kindaf lethargic i must say... Fitness not gd...But at least can feel my fitness improving... Yay! Watch out wei xiong, i'll be back to qie u... (in my dreams)

These few days keep getting comments from ppl tt i look tired... But am i really tired? Or am i just tired of life? Tired of certain stuff? Tired of boredom? Well, i sleep a lot... Tts fer sure... By right shdnt be physically tired... But cant explain... Certain stuff have been bogging down my mind... My mind which always thinks too much... Tts y i've been trying to live out my life to e max... Enjoying it to the best i can... Since this sem i can still afford...

Feeling darn tired now, but shall end this wif a nice lil quote: " People do not like the people who do favours for them, but rather, they like the people whom they do favours for..."
You Are 15 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
