Corrine May - "Fly Away"


There is something very 'Angelitic' *if there is such a word* about Corrine May's voice.
It sounds like an angel singing to your ears,
giving you a peace of the mind...
maybe its God gift to Corrine May.


some people are just born talented.
others, are born to work for it.

...
today,
is my first day of AIC ...
Went there met new people in the fitness industry, or some, aspiring to be one, some ..er... lets just say, were there for the wrong reasons..


Started out at 10am...
First topic, "Introduction of an Aerobics Instructor Role"
ey that wasnt that bad,
its very useful and informative.
Followd by lunch with a few course mates at the new food junction at bugis.
Great food, Nice ambience, Big Space. but VERY SUPERLY Si BEI EX!
I dun think you could find anything $3 or less for a meal.
the fluctuating of prices are really getting scary man..
spare a thought for our pocket man!


After lunch, start second topic "Anatomy and Applied Anatomy"
OOOookieee....
i've kind been introducted to this topic in NYP..
den studied this for FIC..
so for the first 10 mins,
i was attentive.


this was a snip of wat happened during lecture...


Lecturer Bong : *VERY STRONG PHILIPPINES ACCENT* "okie, thereee areee 5 majorrr systams in the bor-dy..."
Me: *thinking* alrite i can do this... i've learnt before wat.
Lecturer Bong : *continues , still with the strong accent* "Now lets talk about muscle movement and the bones..."
Me : *Sighs* here we go again...
Lecturer Bong : "*still with the accent I could hardly catch up* "k, your humerus (*Me: i have studied that word a 'billion' times) is here..... this upper part of your humerus is called the humerus plateu. (*Me: huh where did that come from?).....Then, this is your shoulder joint..(*Me: k, now this, I know =])...But below the joint connecting the ... is the coracoid process (*Me : huh?! wa, WAT?!) den followed by the glno humeral, talo crural (*Me:WTH?, why i never heard before de? wat wat? gleno.. si mi?).. and this is your....
Me: Blank out............... --_________--""""
DUH.....


nothing goes in and once again,
i am very sure biology is one topic that i cannot stand studying!
i didn really like bio since young.
it never changed.
i still hate it. haha. oh well.


Just as i thought things will get better,
As i stepped into the studio for the flexibility training,
ME : *Stunned*!
The Next Lecturer in front of me look SOOOOOO Familiar....
I have seen her some where before.....
hmmm
AH! guess wat?
she my tester during FIC for flexibility not too long ago.
SIEN DIAOXXXXXxx!!!!!
*Drowns*
And while going through the lessons, she points out several common mistakes,
which, yes, i was one of those guilty ones that did those stuns in front of her.
can u imagine my sienz-ness?


and she remembered me.
cant escape from being called out as a 'common mistake demonstrator'
......


den.
finally
it ended and i re treated to "Food For Thought" Cafe.
Ordered the 'Earl Grey Tea Cake", with a nice warm hot chocolate,
And read my "The Lonely Planet Story, by Tony and Maureen Wheeler"
...
at least,
i ended the day finally,
being able to read my book.


u know i think
i've grown dull.
and boring.


i am starting to engage and like slow running at NTU while listening to my mp3 and reading.


im gettin older...

The battle between "The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf" and "The Coffee Connoisseur (TCC)"


AS you all know.
Im a 'La kopi' Fanatic.
And i decided to give my point of view between two popular cafes that has been around for some time, fighting vigorously for each other's 'loyal' la kopi-ans (us).


First, TCC.











Most famous for their boutique concept cafes rather than the drinks,
this is one of the most places that have done their marketing well.
they have satisfied us visually, but failed to satisfy our thrist for a good cuppa of coffee. *Not to even mention the cakes.


I love the sofas, the set, Hate the drinks and the taste.
the drinks failed to impress 'mua' but would give thumbs up to this new addition called the 'Matcha Latte".
The green tea was soothing and blends well with the 'not-too-overwhelming' coffee.
their cakes recently dropped standards *wasnt tat good to begin with*
So yea, wouldn't recommend their cakes. esp for birthdays.
unless desperate. hee.
But they do a wise selection of main course though. but price wise... a bit off the budget.


But, Service wise. i'll give it a 8 over 10. prompt, very good customer service and quite iniative. =] uniform looks very unique as well...


OVerall: 3 out of 5


NExt, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.











Frankly, though i worked there as a barista before.
Im not a fan of their drinks.
It lacked the 'Kicks' *no depth in their coffee.
But its also beause its powder base that makes it one of the easiest coffee to drink around.
I recently fell in love with their pecan latte!
sweet, fragrant and mikly/ =]
just the coffee for me!


and their cakes,
S.O.L.I.D ar!
haha.
has texture, not too sweet, and has a good variety as well.
Their new Cranberry Michel is a must TRY!!!
their are very generous with the cranberries and i love fruits! esp with chocolates!
haha best thing is, its only $3.50 per slice. and it a HUGE slice i tell... haha.
very 'auntie' hor! i know i know...


but,
overall, service is one of the not so good ones among the cafes as well...
but there are a handful who makes your day! =]


OVerall: 3.5 out of 5


hee, so coffee bean leading .. haha. im crazy.=]

Gees.


Its the start of the new school semester and as expected.
its busy.
but im kinda liking it,
cox that means no more rotting in the gym and waiting for time out.


new changes in the gym.
many things improving and hopefully,
things remain this way.


Another obstacle lies ahead as the Wellness Program starting soon.
Yet another round of intese 12 weeks of fitness lessons... 0_0


May not get to blog much later,
starting my AIC (Aerobic Instructor Course) soon.
is a long intensive 4 weekends of AIC lessons, from 9am to 8pm!
whao....
may be dead tired to do anything after that, not to mention even bloggin.


as the oct coming to a near end,
it means i have 5 more months to end of contract.
means that im closer to my budget backpacking trip.
maybe,
i'll go Europe.
But due to the limited money resources,
maybe, i'll start from india den china den indonesia den come down all the way bakc to singapore.
who knows?
haha.

Wow, i finally find quiet time out of this hectic schedule to do some reading at
spinelle cafe @ raffles city.


its a new book that i've just bought and its 'The Lonely Planet Travellers' Story'
by Tony and Muareen Miller, founder of the Lonely Planet Co., The World's largest and most comprehensive publishing co for travel guide books and resources.


As 'non-reader type' as I may be seen, I actually enjoy reading since young but I mostly indulge myself on books on travelling, novels and biographies.
As nerd as it may seem, I kinda enjoy reading National Geographice and Reader Digest when i was young and that was the book that was subscribed for the students in my old sec sch.


ALrite enough of the reading part.


This week has been well, a cocktail of fun, relax and hectic.


Monday and Tuesday started with my recovery period.
I took leave to rest, and to 'mugged' for the FIC exam. (Fitness Instructor Course)

Starting WEd, my god, attended the WHP (Work Place Health Promotion Managers' Course)
@ Tanglin Shopping CEntre by Ms PHern Tan from FHI.
I must admit, although I have studied this module from NYP before,
corporate courses are actually more vibrant and active than sch.
the exectuives who attended are super enthusiatic, and the the trainer was a great speaker.
I did learnt a lot from the course, but it kinda drained my mentally,
esp when wed night, after the course,
headed to ulu kallang stadium for the exam.
sigh.
it was OK la... but you;ll never know until the results are out.
And i will keep hope til that moment. haha =)


The WHP course was three days long, so for the whole of last week,
i didn work at NP gym, leaving poor gerard to handle everything in the gym himself.
I felt bad though, but there is nothing much I could do unless i practice the 'Fen Shen Shu'. *lame*


So yea,
and sat, which is today,
just finished my FIC Practical @ Planet Fitness.
Boy. Its was such a nerve wecking experience.
Everyone was 'stiff minded' including my partner who was Shivering all the way while doing the Body composition on me.
I was no better. oh well.


but whatever it is, nothing can really describe what im going through except that how I wished, that I could do things at a slower pace, so that quality weighs more than quantity? singaporeans has this 'kiasu-lism' factor that I really cant stand in the working world. And I thought school was bad. tsk tsk.


got a lot more to say, but nah, shall no comment on my blog.
chat up with me if ya'll got time! den maybe i'll compliant more to you haha!
