Yes, I am still soaking in the first podium for Alonso & Renault this season. After what seemed like a ride to hell, Alonso & Renault have just proven themselves. No staged-crash needed. No gimmicks needed. Just pure racing pace + driver's skill. Luck factored in but it was also thanks to Alonso's consistency and determination that allowed him to be bump up the ranks.
扳回一城 苦尽甘来
Another major point which many of the press missed out was that, Alonso clocked the fastest lap @ lap 53 with 1:48:240. This further proves that they are truly worthy of the podium.
Seriously, ain't Alonso destined with Singapore GP or what?! :D:D:D
On another slightly disturbing matter.
I have been getting these weird dreams for 3 consecutive nights. They somehow linked up to become a mini soap drama which actually gave me an idea for a story. (Sadly, I don't have the time to pen a story at the moment...) Everything felt so surreal. The people, surroundings, events. I hope it will stop. Because I could feel the emotions I am feeling in the dream. It was as though I was there. Although it was a nice feeling, but it is not good to be indulging in a fantasy.
Time to sleep. Start of another studious week. Yawnns.
Realization only hit me today that I am going to have a super shag upcoming 8 months. That is, if I want to have the ultimate balance between study, work, play and friends. Well, I did not feel the pinch when I was penning out my monthly schedule, not yet I guess. I thought I will be able to sail through it smoothly.
Guess not. Hah.
School started on Tuesday and so did my sleep debt. Having cleared a bit of my sleep debt for the past 2 weeks, I am back to accumulating them. How bad was it? I drooled a little when I feel asleep in the train while on my way home. Opps.
Strangely, I feel motivated. Although I suspect that the anticipation of F1 @ Singapore and the thought of Alonso in Singapore right now is my current drug-addiction at the moment. I have been feeding on it since last Sunday and getting 'higher' as the race draw closer. Not to mention the highly speculated (and possible) move for Alonso to Ferrari in 2010. Luca di Montezemolo (Ferrai President) had, for the first time, gave the strongest hint on Wednesday with regards to this so-called 'most anticipated open secret within the paddock'. Everyone is so waiting for this to happen. Dream team. I said it, and I will said it again. Ferrari-Alonso-Massa = Dream team = Winning formula. We will see how the story unfolds within the next few weeks.
Geez. Talk about being side-track. :D
My aim for school is to get first-class honors eventually. Having wasted so much time (in God knows what I was doing/thinking), there really isn't another option. Although I have to admit, that it is quite unlikely I will be able to make the cut. I will still try my best though. This time round, putting in my 110%. It is tough, despite the typical slack course SIM portrays. Or rather, the slack attitude that I had chose to display for the past few years. Opps again. But I guess I will manage. I have to do it. No more wasting time.
It really isn't easy to juggle between studies and work. Even though mine is just a part-time job, I do take my job seriously, as though it is a full-time job. (Although I do go to work late... pretty frequently. Opps yet again.) But other than that, I am 100% all in when it comes to work. Because I know I am already one step (or possibly a few steps) behind from everyone else in many ways, I have no choice but to make up for it. Plus it is my good fortune to have 2 wonderful bosses who did not mind my accounting background (I failed it), and still chose to hire me. On top of that, they are willing to teach me despite their busy schedule. (Although I think my bosses will say that they have to teach since we will be the ones producing the work eventually. Rather for us to learn and do, than to do while in a mess. hee.) For that, I have no way of repayment but to learn as much as I can and do my best at work. I have to say, I think I have the makings of a workaholic. I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing though. Maybe it is still too early to say, since it is a part-time job for me afterall. I do not have the responsibilities of a full-timer, so I would not be able to feel it yet. We'll see...
If any of my friends are reading this, I think you can expect to see me less in the upcoming months. No more MJs, lesser KTV, lesser outings. Badminton will still go on though, despite my annoying Saturday morning lecture.. Exercise ftw. :D
I came up with a rather interesting conclusion about myself today. Which I thought was pretty cool, well, in a way.
My conclusion for the day: I get motion sickness without music.
Weird huh. But I find it pretty damn true. I had a 2nd occurrence today and this had to be it.
The first time it happened, I was in a taxi about a week ago. It was dead silence when I stepped into the cab. My first encounter in a vehicle without music, and it felt weird to me. To begin with, I cannot stand to live without music. So weird aura left me a little unsettling. Thinking it would (what have supposed to) be a short trip, I thought I would survive the trip. However, the silence grew in my head and I was suddenly have headaches, to a point that it actually felt like exploding. The silence was deafening and I could hear them, literally. The worst thing that could ever happen, happened. The taxi driver misheard my destination and drove me to another part of the city. I cringed at the point of realization. By then, I was breaking into cold sweat and having dizzy spells. The next thing I know, I was trying my best to push down that something in my throat which was forcing its way out of my mouth. The silence was insane as we buzzed through the streets and I wanted to wind down the window. It was to a point whereby even noises would have helped, except that I was in too weak a state to even do that. That half an hour journey was the worst vehicle experience ever despite the good driving from the driver. I have to give credit to him because it wasn't his fault. The moment I alighted, the thing in my throat came up to my mouth. This may sound gross, but I actually swallowed it back. It wasn't a lot, and heck, I didn't want to vomit on the streets while carrying my luggage in my heels & dress. I was almost half dead by the time I reached home, ended up eating plain porridge and slept through the next 10 hours that night. But I dismissed that as a one-time incident. Something I hope would be the first and the last.
The 2nd weird occurrence happened today. I had a bad omen before leaving home when I realized that I did not charge my psp. My handphone's earpiece wasn't working so I had been relying on my psp. I thought I could survive a day, and I was so wrong. Halfway during the journey from Yishun to Pioneer, the sick feeling came back. With only dizzy spell this time round. I felt so sick that I had to sit on the floor (since there was no seats and I wasn't near any). So in the end, I barely survived badminton. Did some really nice shots (some of my best, in fact) at the start of the game and that was it. I lasted for less than 45 minutes. There after, it was breaks longer than match. HA.
It might have been random, or it might have been separate incidents. But I thought it might be true too. I simply cannot stand silence ringing in my head. :S
Yay! Finally laid my hands on the long awaited 5th book of Dan Brown's! is the sequel to Da Vinci Code, so we will be having a blast of a journey with Mr Langdon again! Was so excited that I got the cashier at Popular to unwrap it for me so that I could start reading straightaway. Will be sucked into the book throughout the night later! :D
I see your face in my mind as I drive away, Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way. People are people, And sometimes we change our minds. But its killing me to see you go after all this time.
Music starts playin like the end of a sad movie, Its the kinda ending you dont really wanna see. Cause its tragedy and itll only bring you down, Now I dont know what to be without you around.
And we know its never simple, Never easy. Never a clean break, noone here to save me. Youre the only thing I know like the back of my hand, And I cant, Breathe, Without you, But I have to, Breathe, Without you, But I have to.
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt. Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve. But people are people, And sometimes it doesnt work out, Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out.
And we know its never simple, Never easy. Never a clean break, no one here to save me. Youre the only thing I know like the back of my hand, And I cant, Breathe, Without you, But I have to, Breathe, Without you, But I have to.
Its two a.m. Feelin' like I just lost a friend. Hope you know its not easy, Easy for me. Its two a.m. Feelin like I just lost a friend. Hope you know this aint easy, Easy for me.
And we know its never simple, Never easy. Never a clean break, noone here to save me.
Ohhh
I cant, Breathe, Without you, But I have to, Breathe, Without you, But I have to.
