Ice, Exercise and a bad back

Wad a weekend!

start off w byron's bene-bash at kallang ice world.
was great being invited and sharing in his 21st birthday bash.
and was also great meeting up w frens i have not quite met in a while.
and of coz ice skating. cant rem when was the last time i did it... but it prob was during my poly days.
took a while to get used to the skates n soon i was skating ard, tho not like an ace but ok enough to move ard.

sat was a quiet day, going to imm w my dad to get his new specs done.
he got himself a pair of oakley rimless prescription glasses. cost quite a fair bit but i think it looks great.
i only had my specs lens replaced coz they were getting dirty n kinda scratched up.

the evening was more interesting.
had a surprise bday dinner for tress. apu had us all arriving at the restaurant so we could surprise tress when she arrived.
she tot it was a dinner between the 2 of them. good job apu. kekeke...
dinner was at waraku@marina square. food was decently good.
but the food was served in reversed order or sorts.
our own mains arrived first, followed by the tempura and sashimi.
plus they brought us orders which were already served - twice.
but it was good nonetheless.

met up w the churchies for a while at john's place after dinner and we played saboteur.
havent played in a long time and i was definitely fun playing it again.
after a few rounds, it was time to go home.

sunday was also fairly quiet. went for mass and went to watch burn after reading.
it's a nice little funny film w no real story to it.
so at the end of it all, u'll ask urself, so wad was the whole point of the movie to which i'll answer - there is none. haha...
after dat it was off to maju camp for my weekly date w the PTIs.
did some runs, and static exercises and went home.

dinner was at dragon phoenix restaurant at liang court.
we were celebrating basil's and my parents' birthdays.
food was good. yummy.

and when i got home, my back din feel too good.
like i kinda strained it. i guess it could have been the situp and bridging exercises we had to do during rt.
but i thnk it could have been the situp coz i've done bridging during rt b4 and nothing's happened to me.
but havent really done situps during rt. only crunches.

so woke up on monday w a bad back.
i could walk n all but couldn't really bend down and carry heavy stuff.
went to see the doc n had to call the office and trouble my colleagues to take over my duties.
coz i had to go to a ship to do a final inspection n rectify a software problem.
and coz of the injury and mc, i could not go to batam today to take over my colleague's project.
and another guy had to go in my place. and i missed out on abt $500 worth of overseas allowances :(

and of coz i still have to go for rt coz there is no way in hell i will wana defer the bloody rt again.
and coz my rt from my last window was not cleared (i'm doing it now).
and i couldn't get my ippt done for my last window, dumbass mindef decided to send me a letter today requesting for my presence at cmpb
to answer the charge of Neglecting to Perform a Lawful Duty. hello? not dat i din want to, i couldn't.
ur bloody system din allow me to book my ippt.
damn. have to call TAB tom liao.

and i've decided once i've cleared my rt. i'm going for ipt early next yr.
it's only 8 sessions and so i'm only inconvenienced for 4 weeks den i'm free of the military's obligations for the year.
i dun see reservist as any inconvenice. in fact, it's a nice holiday. kekeke...
it's only the bloody ippt dat's a bummer. waste my time. *ROAR*

time to shower!! see ya next time!
