A day of dust...

Today felt like a full-time housewife tho my mum is the one who works the most everyday now..she like non-stop machine..so i cant afford to be too slack either..we went to market in the morning(with much grumbling from my niece) and bought fruits, vege..my mum was crazy cos she bought fruits like nobody's business..apples, pears, oranges, bananas, pineapple...but who suffer? me!! cos i am the one who is in charge to carry heavy stuff in the household now...no wonder i kept wishing for a brother..so heavy lo..by the time we got home i was super exhausted alr..it was 12+..too late and too tired to go for class ecp trip in the afternoon...

after i knocked out on the sofa for 2hours( cos my mum was still nagging away haha)..i finally started on the clean-up..cleaned the windows, fans, aircon, lights..then was super hungry at 4+ so tea-break (which was quite a heavy meal haha)..finally the ultimate project and a muz-do tidying of my book shelves..i cleaned all the way from 5-8.30...threw away one big bag of junk and cleared space for the upcoming new sem..i gotta prepare more files for my notes lo..juz first lec i saw my prof uploaded tons of notes..makes me feel even more reluctant to go back n study...anw after the clean-up...my white shirt seems to be covered w dirt lo..kept sneezing away cos my nose v itchy..now i juz want to lie on my clean bed n sleep...yawnz..tmr going market again..bleah

The Promise

Today spent 8 bucks on this movie, cast by nicholas tse, zhang bo zhi and zhang dong jian..

This show is about this orphan little gal who was starving during war time and had to steal food from dead ppl in order to survive..the man-shen (goddess) gave her 2 choices: to be the same, or to live in riches and men adoring over her but in exchange, she will never find true love again...so the little gal chose the latter option..Zhang dong jian acted as Kunlun who was a slave bought by the famous general in crimson armour. Kunlun was from the Land of Snow and born with the talent to run..he can even out-run time to go back to years before..he aided the general to victory in a battle of 3000 army against the 20000 barbarians...

As the general was badly injured by the assassin, sent by the North Duke (cast by nic tse) so the general sent Kunlun to dress as him and save the king..the North Duke surrounded the palace in order to get Lady Qingcheng...but in the end Kunlun came, killed the king and save Lady Qingcheng (who was the little gal) instd...they were chased till the edge and Kunlun in order to exchange Lady Qingcheng's freedom, jumped over the cliff and into the big waterfall...she was super touched by him and since fallen in love with him...but North Duke did not let her go but cage her in a big wooden cage and even made her wear a feather coat...

Well this is the part where i think is most interesting and hav a decent plot...the costumes are very pretty of cos and the effects are great...but without seeing the subtitles i cannot understand wad the actors are saying..esp Korean actor...the clarity is really bad...other than tat the rest of the movie is about how the men adore over Lady Qingcheng and how she gets captured and escape again..then finale is the main cast killed one another..their dialogue is really lame and too much it juz loses the whole mood of the movie..such a pity..the guys are either too gay or too lustful and zhang bo zhi is rather bitchy and her make-up sux...she's alr so fair and they made her face white as a ghost...i can see the faces of the ppl are so sian diaoz after the show haha...i think the ending is quite bad cos i cant even rem alr!! Wasted my 8 bucks....X(

Fitness First

Wonder wad the title means? Haha..it's the name of the fitness ctr tat i went today with my cousin..this is the first time i went for such workout so everything is a brand new experience to me..We two went to the Raffles Place branch at 7 as i needed to wait until my cousin finished work..we first toured ard the place with one of the staff..the interior was pretty small( but city area every inch costs money) with the usual treadmills, cycling machines and weight-lifting stuff etc, the exterior has a mini swimming pool ,outdoor weight lifting equipments and a small pavillion for their pilate or aerobics lessons..well normal haha..but it was fun getting quality treatments rather than the old n rusty machines tat we usually worked out in school..

We started with the treadmills (ok this is the first time tat i run so long on it)..there is a meter on each machine stating how much calories we burnt..so we ran ard 30mins and burnt 100calories before we finally stopped..i din really keep up with running as i long long nv had a decent jog ever since i kept falling sick in Uni..i juz maintained my speed, changing from a run to a brisk walk...we were all sweating away after our 'supposed' warm-up..the funny thing is the moment we stepped off the machine..we couldn't stand still..it seems as though one small step we took was fast-fowarding..so we looked like 2 unbalanced zombies trying to walk haha...

There is one good thing about the place: we get free drinks (all self-service) like soft-drinks and hot drinks and apples to munch on..the members can still rent cds and vcds..after a quick drink we went on to the cycling machine which we cycled another 20mins and burnt 100 calories as our goal again..phew by then our legs were alr so wobbly (my poor cousin gotta keep up with me)..then we decided to work our upper bodies instd..did some weight lifting, crunches, leg press etc..juz trying out the machines as we only have 7 days free...after tat i still wanna try the dunno-wad's-tat machine and the stairs climbing machine...did not tat much cos our legs were really quite tired..mine alr slightly trembling..

We decided to go for the steam bath inside the women's changing room..it's great tat they provide t-shirts n shorts in additional to towels for which we can bathe there..i did my very first steam bath there too..it's really funny for me to walk ard the changing room with only one towel wrapped ard my body haha..but since all gals inside and i'm not the only one doing tat..*cough* tat's ok i guess haha...not too much details then..so we went in for 15mins? time seems to crawl inside..damn hot inside..within secs i got water all over my body..dunno izit sweat or the water vapour..i muz cover my face with the small towel or else my nostrils were like burning and cant even breathe properly..u always see models posing nicely in the photos right? i dun even dare to lean on the walls..knowing my skin will be burnt bleah..so awkward inside haha..it's really v v hot!!

after a burning session ( which my cousin seems to enjoy alot), we cooled down abit n went to bathe..they even hav hair conditioner provided..but not a very good one tho..my hair kinda dried after tat...i really enjoyed the facilities inside..cos i love warm water for my bath..it's like a high class hotel bathroom inside..with hair dryer, cotton wool n even combs provided..we can really come n go easily..today is really fun n i enjoyed all the facilities there but..oh no i can predict my butt gonna hurt again tmr..!!
