bad start; nice ending.

>>>BAD START; NICE ENDING


it is exasperating to open the file of your major project and find that the formatting is screwed big time. worse,the discovery is made 20mins before your deadline. and uve rushed over it for the past weekS, skipped sleep to work on it for at least 3 whole nights.


we went to school and realised that we need to hand in slides for our presentation by today too. within an hour, we made a crap copy of not more than 10 slides for a 15min presentation.
we had to re-do our formatting & re-type some missing questions all over again.


and janice was sick(literally). so the 3 of us rushed like nobody's business, and we couldnt blame technology for screwing the formatting,and not sending the email across successfully.


as a result,we had 10marks deducted off part 1 of our project, even before we handed in our crap project, for being 5 hours overdue.


murphy's law. sigh.


the rest of the several hours in school went on in a trance. im not sure if 3 of us were just tired,or feeling offish about the whole twist of the event.


and so,we cant afford to screw up tomorrow's presentation..and the report that is due in over a month's time.

im glad i met joanne for yoga this evening.
so, yoga is really damn relaxing.
but we've decided it would be our first & last yoga lesson. it was too slow moving..too slow.


i would blame it on my short attention span. but thank God i wasnt the only one doing that most outrageous thing in a fitness class- to fall asleep.


i love joanne for falling aslp, too, during yoga class.


i better make the situation clear: the teacher's hypnotising was effective.
"reeeelaxxxxx youuur miiinndd...in-hill...ex-hill." (in slow motion)


this was chanted as we lie flat on the mat, with lights dimmed and soothing music at the background.


who can blame us?


we both woke up to find the teacher demonstrating the last position to the rest of the class. gawd, it must have been like a 15min sleep.


joanne claimed she pulled my hair to see if im asleep. no movement.
this is embarrasing. it was our first yoga class. i feel sorry for the teacher who could see the both of us lying flat, motionless, amidst the rest of the sitting ladies.


we spent a good 10mins or so laughing in the changing room, and laughed all the way down the escalator of cineleisure.


after a fruitless yoga-sleeping class, we indulged in subway. finally. we've been planning to eat there for too long.


there is no such thing as healthy living with joanne. yes,we go for weekly gym sessions and fitness classes BUT we indulge heavily in ice creams, chocolates & supper too. argh.


it was hilarious when we saw this cute guy's coke spilling over his sandwich as he packed his cup into his plastic bag at the counter. he looked helplessly at the nonchalent counter waiter for help.
the same waiter who served subway-virgin us in a pissed tone, looked at how the guy lifted his dripping sandwich.. & continued mopping the floor. great service.


not that the usually-very-kind us dont wanna help that poor guy; we were just too busy laughing, we cldnt even hold our sandwiches in place.
we laughed at that helpless look, and at his rebonded shoulder-length hair.
we laughed, again, about the yoga lesson.. and about the guy who sang silently on Spore Idol last night.



i laughed at joanne when she made an extremely horrifying statement:
"i was trying to see if the teacher's hands were as long as her legs! how can she hold her ankle up,without bending her kness?!"


"erm. cos her legs were like almost upright facing the ceiling?"


scary. how the hell would anyone suspect that someone's hands & legs are of equal length!


then again, it came from joanne.
dear, u may want to enlighten me?


this is the right way to end my day.
