woo more endorphins. my sis decided to go for a night run and i followed... on my bike heh! eh not wuss ok i just had waterpolo training. she ran with my very obese dog, who couldnt take it after 1/5 the journey. so i sprinted down holland road to buy water from esso for my poor doggie. scared he get exhausted. i think it has been almost a year since i biked, what a feeling! wind in your face and everywhere else, quite proud of myself that i didnt fall down. suspect my balls will be damn raw tomorrow.
becoz my dog slowed us all down we came home disatisfied. so i went for an extra 2km run with her. spent time with my family after that. was nice. dont spend enough time with them nowadays. ok damn shak now, still need to bathe. night!

just got back from training and still feel stressed yet strangely good at the same time. must be the endorphins. i need to exercise more than once a week. wish my posts could be as positive and happy as they used to be. i need to control stress, been quite a jerk to some people during the week. you only hurt the ones u love. life is getting too complicated too fast. too many comittments, not enough time. busy busy busy busy. i need sleep sleep sleep. but i still want to have fun fun fun. but no time time time. going mAAad!!! ahHH!!!

its been another unproductive but fun weekend. another workweek looms ahead but this time there will be something to look forward to the following week; namely a long weekend and 2 days of (office-free)intra-navy waterpolo. yay!
i hate people who automatically brand clerks as slackers with a damn good life. it is not. everything has its plus and minuses. and the grass is always greener on the other side.
i finally finished 'the testament'. better return it to davis before he notices it is missing from the office haha. started on sabriel, it is damn interesting.
met the sonnys last night. originally we planned to watch a movie, and as usual our planning (or lack of) resulted in us being in a situation where the movie timings didnt suit us at all. we havent watched a movie together since sec school so it was a bit of a bummer. i like to feel nostalgic.
a trend has appeared in our gatherings, the mood tends to be more (a lot more) subdued. the big reality of adulthood is fast dawning upon all of us, and we spend a lot of the time cursing and regretting our laziness in school and as a result now trying to come up with business ideas that would make us rich. hahahahha.
i think it is fantastic that we are meeting up regularly now. i kinda missed them during the period i came back from trinity. it was quite a sucky time, you leave all your friends in melbourne and have nobody back home coz they are all busy getting on with their lives in jc and have drifted apart after sec school. i often refrained from calling them up coz i didnt want to be the annoying old friend who just needed some company.
i had NO social life except for kai, thank god i had her. she was very understanding and did her best to involve in her social life. grateful for how she tolerated me the annoying-tag-along bf. but i was never able make the leap from making 'her friends' become 'my friends' as well. they always remained 'kailyns friends'. perhaps i could have been slighty intimidated by it all, a social recluse being thrust into a (relative to me) big jc social network. my shyness sucks.
now that the old sonny gang are all in the same boat and have no more life (ie national service), it is heartening to know that we still rely on each other. what my teacher said was true, friends made in secondary school will be your closest. we ended up playing basketball and football at 2am after a long fruitless discussion about making money. bryan managed to kick the ball onto the rail tracks (the one that runs next to ulu pandan cc) which ended our activites for the night. haha nostalgia.

Hahahaha I am gonna be doing some acting this week!! Yay!! And this time around I actually have proper scenes and lines! So hopefully I'll get at least 30sec of exposure not like the last time where I got about 0.5sec:) Gosh haven't done real acting since I was a kid, hope all the drama lessons at Trinity will help.
This got me thinking, maybe I will follow in my mum's footsteps and make a living from being an actor, and this will be start of my launch into superstardom. I mean all the necessary things are here already right? Good looks, charisma, sexiness etc :P
So that leaves me with the task of getting rid of all the remaining pimples to look good on the day, coz even though the role might not be glam and I make the make up people spend 2hrs trying somehow to uglify me, it wont hurt impressing the people there. Who knows maybe I'll get to star alongside Fiona Xie (kai is gonna kill me) in Champions 2!!!! Plus I will actually look like I know what I am doing and not need stupid body doubles in any of the swimming or waterpolo scenes. I will increase their viewship ratings and save them money at the same time! What more can they want? Speaking of waterpolo, realize had the Thailand trip not been cancelled, I would be flying off tomorrow:(
Hahaha I am full of nonsense right?
Anyways in other news; part of my ceiling at home collapsed last Friday during the heavy storms. It was quite bewildering to enter my house and find the whole place flooded and bits of the roof lying lying on the floor. Apparently the roof drains were clogged and that caused water to gather on the roof, eventually falling through and damaging a few paintings along the way. My house is kinda old... Take a look at the pics, bear in mind that the worst was over when i took these.
Yep. Thats a piece of the ceiling on the floor
These pics are of the stairs connecting the 2nd and 3rd storeys. Look how wet it is. Imagine the ground floor where all the water flowed down to. %
the gaping hole in my ceiling

the darkness - growing on me

what an unproductive day this has been. *jon slaps himself*
oh well here's the interesting thought of the day, it occured to me just now as i was filling my doggies' waterbowl:
they are actually pretty good at drinking water! wooOOOoooOoo!
haha i just never conciously fathomed how they actually get water in them when all they appear to do is aimlessly splash their tongues around. I mean we POUR water down our throats. seems a lot more effective doesnt it?
judging by the rate the bowl empties (very fast) id have to say no haha. remember watching a documentry on how their tongues act as 'spoons', but it all looks very 'luan' to me. quite amazing.
even more amazing are my cats. they're so neat and delicate the way they lap at the water, so their tongues really must act like spoons! not like the dogs where it seems they get 70% of their water from all that splashing and only 30% from the so-called 'spoon' effect.
ok should stop wasting my time thinking about pointless stuff haha bye!~

its late and im tired but in nice content mood, sitting her on my bed enjoying the fresh 'cool sheets' feeling.
think this period of my life is really crucial. need to get my priorities sorted, between what i want (and willing to work for) and what i want+need+important (and not so motivated to).
its just that ive finally gotten my foot in the door, and want to seize this opportunity. argh two big demands on me coming into conflict.
sorry u all prolly wouldnt get what im talking about. tts not important, just saying whats going on in my head now.

ello everybody. am posting from andre's house. wah amazing he is actually being nice and treating me like a guest haha:p even gave me coke hehe. am quite appreciative haha.
anyways am a bit annoyed coz of the waterpolo trip to thailand, what a roller coaster it has been. first, it was all set and confirmed. then funding became a problem. We called up the team and reached a consensus that we were willing to pay some money for the trip. then after that they said need we needed approval from the head office. it looked like it would be cancelled but then finally last night word came through that it would be a go.
needless to say i was happy. but then i read about the 'violence in bangkok' in the papers, and some commando officer in the canteen said something about 'red alert', started to get a bit worried again. then the crushing call came through this afternoon that the whole thing is cancelled. again. think its final this time though...
sigh. looks like im not going after all, this trip turned out to be another 'cebu trip'.
