Monday, June 30, 2014 - [winter fasting. ]
Ramadan has begun ~
It's winter so it's really cold all day and I really wish I could eat or have a hot drink to have enough energy to doooo stuff. It's only the second day today but I guess it must have been why I was so lethargic yesterday. Well.. it is the holidays so maybe I'm just lazy.
Somehow a couple years ago, while in SG, I could manage a longer fasting day, and manage going to JC and preparing for recital which means...
waking up at 3am to eat some food
back to sleep
waking up at 5.30am to prepare for school and travel to school
reach school at 7am and lessons from 7.30 - 3pm
travel to town about 1hour away
reach studio at 5pm
dance for 2 hours to practice for recital til 7pm
chat with friends and finally leave and break fast at 7.20pm
That means I survived about 14hours awake without food or water and I did so much! Then I would go home and eat dinner and do homework and whatever and go to bed around midnight and repeat.
I managed that perfectly!
Even in the gap year when I was a skating coach, get up at 6am to travel to the first school Bukit TImah Pre and teach for 2 hours, next school Naval Base/Sembawang SEc halfway across the island for 3hours and another hour to the 3rd school (somehwere in Boon Lay) for an hour or so and travel 1.5hours back home to Serangoon. my god that was so much exercise and shouting to a crowd and trying to teach a sport. Just imagine how tough it is talking to distracted teens or 8year olds who cant wait to roll away from you.
Meh, I've grown weak... imagine if I lived in Iceland...
if you're wondering why it varies so much it's because it's summer in europe and US and the days are longer, but it's winter in Australia so the sun sets at about 5pm.
But since I sleep at about midnight and I eat dinner around 6pm and have some snack maybe about 9pm. I actually fast from 9pm or lets say 10pm to the next day's 5pm, so it's definitely not just 10hours and more like 19hours actually.

Helloo (:
I've been stricken with a cold today and yesterday, much worse today ): but its alright because uni's over and I'm free now ((:
I haven't been writing because there's nothing much I find interesting to share .. life's a bit dull ..
Household - I'm glad the electricity bill for this quarter is $580 and the previous bill was $900. That doesn't make sense at all.
I was away from Brisbane for 50days that's about 2months, so the previous quarter's bill was mainly just 3 people in the house, because Neil and Kiara work they aren't even around that much. So why is the bill so much higher with 1 person almost always and home and 2 who are home during the nights versus now with me in the house + frequent visits from friends. Zac Kiara and Neil have someone over every week.
Don't worry I can solve this mystery. It's ME! Thanks to my overly strict upbringing, I turn off every light and appliance I see being left on. 4 people in the house became $300 less instead of the costs going up.
Okay you have a fear of the dark but does the lamp need to be on while you're out?
Okay you're just going out to grab takeaway dinner, does your room and study light need to be on while you're out?
Does the TV need to be on while you're asleep?
Little things count. Seriously, everyone, everywhere, save electricity! Isn't it stupid and painful to pay an extra $300 for nothing? See dad, I do learn from you. :x
Uni Life - I'm glad like everyone else the semester is over. I started thinking about how much I actually retain from classes.. huehue.. not very much. I'm glad this semester is over because it's been so tiring. I really dislike group work. Because this is just uni, people don't take it seriously. If it was a job or where money, reputation or something bigger was at stake then yes people will be serious and group work wouldn't be such a pain.
It's just sickening having members laze around the entire period of projects and turn up on the last day just to appear to be helpful. Also irritating to have a know-it-all perfectionist member who does ALL the work and insist their work is superior and rejects the work others do.
Hopefully next semester will be better.
Hobby - Pole level 2 has proven itself to be way harder than level 1. But first here's a layout :D
Aghhggh don't like my face in that pic. Anyway I'm abit hesitant to talk about pole because I know some annoying rat is going to save the picture and send it out to my gossipy family.
Then tomorrow I'm going to receive a phonecall from my dad
WHY ARE YOU SELLING YOUR BODY?
Yes because pole-dancing, an internationally recognized sport is equal to SELLING MY BODY. There are just so many stupid ignorant people like my family who live in the 19th century.
I'm not even exaggerating because they are THAT laid back and cannot embrace changes.
Anyway I don't care very much, people can either be supportive or continue living as their pathetic selves, criticizing everyone and what they do just because they think it's "wrong".
Been watching new shows... I was initially against the new Avatar, but it's not that bad :D go Korra!! Sad that Game of Thrones is over, I guess it's finally time to go buy the books. Hmm.. uuhhhmmm.. been improving on cooking, risotto tastes creamier and tastier, other common asian dishes also becoming more consistent :3 hurray, yet to try cooking Paella, I really should give it a go this holidays~~ It's been so coooolllddddd, stay warm and stay healthy, and good luck to my friends who still have examzxzzx.
I suppose that's all. See ya!
