My Weekend
"Today RNA interference (RNAi), is a technique in which exogenous, double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that are complimentary to known mRNA's, are introduced into a cell to specifically destroy that particular mRNA, thereby diminishing or abolishing gene expression."Thats not particularly interesting to most people... I don't know why I am quoting it. Ok, maybe cos I find it interesting...
BBQ on saturday -- I ate continuously for 3hours. The chicken wings were really good. Kenneth seems to like bbq-ing and was good at it. So really, all i did was to swat at flies and ate whatever was cooked. Friends who I have not seen for a year commented that I've lost weight -- all the better to justify why I was eating so much! hahaha
Sunday guilt trip. The thing about dance is that no matter how hard you try, there is only so little fats u can try to hide. In other words, u can't hide anything. Perhaps wearing dark colors will help. Pulling up more, straigtening your back will help. But thats all you can do. The intermediate class is tough. Not only must your technique be good, you have to be flexible too with that certain amount of control. Developpe devant, a la seconde, derrire (ok some speling mistakes..) and all this with turn out... phew, a lot of work methinks. Morning was intermediate, after was extra for the exams, more allegro... more prancing. Totally tiring. Having been sick for over a week, I haven't done any running and could feel sort of flabby everywhere. Maybe because it was the Standard Chartered marathon yesterday, maybe I was feeling bad for all the wings I'd eaten the day before -- whatever it was, i went for a run. Up mt faber, which is the norm, but instead of stopping at the usual place, I decided to do the route my brother does. From Mt Faber, down to harbour front, turn back to telok blangah hts before reaching home. It was a really long run. My right ankle kinda hurt a little after that. On second thoughts, it wasn't that long a run, just that its way more than my usual.
Today, I couldn't get out of bed. My muscles were aching. Especially the maximus gluteus region. I use to complain about that to a fren who remarked that its a good thing really, cos that means u are firming up your butt. Whats the point of firming up stuff if its not appreciated? I've been asking my colleagues if they want a feel of my butt's "firmess". hahaha.. so far only the sales gal took up the offer. Well maybe cos we are the customer and she has to patronise us anyway!
I am feeling significantly happier today despite my runny nose and slight cough. (Still not totally recovered.). Maybe its because of all that running yesterday, or maybe because I feel sufficiently preoccupied and exhausted from dance. I think its both. I like to feel this way. Masochistically speaking, I like being busy to the point of exhaustion.
We only live once.
