batam...

well, as some of have most probably know... i am in batam now... having a very "cherfull" holiday with my dad (my JAP one).. every second my father forces me to think bout my future..

here is my everyday schedule while i am in batam:

- 5 in the morning before the roaster even awake we started our 10 kms jogging.. from jodoh till batu merah..
- at around 8.. we ussually get back at the hotel... my dad would switch the TV to NHK (which the language i dun understand) and go straight to the bath.. leaving me in the hotel.. bored!!
- 9 we have our breakfast.. i ussually eat like a pig coz i was soo hungry.. hoping that i will gain weight.. (sigh.. my weigh is still stable at 55 kgs right now..)
- 10 i began my practice IELTS test for 2 and a half hours.. (actually that's probably the best time of the days coz i dun have to talk with my dad..)
- at around 12:30 i began swimming ( well, at that time ussually this really sexy singaporean named Jo Ang from room 920 swims.. and oriental sexy chineese + glasses + cute face + swimsuit = paradise view)
- 3 in the evening, i would go back to our room.. either having a late lunch or start talking bout courses and colleges.. (this is the hardest time in the days..)
- 5 o'clock is GYM TIME!!! :D well, not much.. treadmill, benchpress, sit-ups, weights.. (darn i am still skinny.. considering my height is 172 cm.. i supose to weight 65 kgs)
- we would have dinner at 7.. my fave meal iz japanesse tender chicken.. yums!!
- free time start from that.. ussually calls either sayang, angel, damien, or angie.. till my dad got ballistic two days ago when he figure out it's his money that will be used to pay the phone bill not mine.. (sigh!!!)
- 10 - 5 is sleeping time.. dreams weirds dreams.. and awake a lot at nite...
