medival ages
yours truly has just started work. no internet no msn and worse, stuck with a medival age mobile. this means no camera and no colour screen.
but yeah good thing the mobile is not from the stone ages, u know the ones with yellow backlights or one shaped familiarly like some kid's water bottle or an oddly shaped brick.
other then that, the fellow lab rats seem like fine people, people around my age, so it all looks fine.
last weekend was busy with ed's wedding. presenting him and his many wives...
naaahh~ only one. sorry no better pictures. was abit busy plus my camera died! anyway please go congratulate him.

running 24
the route was macpherson rd->upper aljunied road and back. which was rather quiet especially along upper aljunied road.
a good route with mix of flats and slopes. running out on the road is far more interesting, with the view changing always. i almost fell asleep the last time i ran on the threadmill.
its a wonder people can run more than 2km on the threadmill.
distance:5.2km (as from google earth)
time: 30++min

its just a facial visit. dad didn't want to use his purchased package anymore, so mum brought me there to use, if not wasted.
i laid on a bed, with annoying chinese new songs played on wind chimes playing in the background. beautician blurb out and explained few terms like oxygen mask, extract dunno what followed by a high frequency blah blah, collagen, which had me giving a "wth is that" look.

that question
a nice sat morning was spoilt when mum came into my room while i was asleep. talked about something about her sister being a grandmother already blah blah blah....when is her time...blah blah.
what a pep talk!! i was damn psyched up lah! a beautiful future with kids awaits me!
right........
i mumbled something in reply about no chance no one or nothing along that line.
Then sunday arvo, dropped by the hospital to visit an uncle. even though he couldn't speak now, the few questions he could ask was "where is gf" and "why no gf".
my uncle, what a great guy.
Chinese New Year is coming, hopefully my mum's answering service can be upgraded in time to be able to auto answer such enquiries. I can just be concerned about putting a smile on my seemingly unapproachable face.

some devil
latest song on my itunes repeat. Some Devil by Dave Matthews. Simple but nice, soulful singing with lots of feelings.
not that it totally means anything to me. although probably some months back, yes. for now, i feel cold and emotionless.
Some Devil
One last kiss one only
Then I'll let you go
Hard for you I've fallen
But you can't break my fall
I'm broken don't break me
When I hit the ground
Some devil some angel
Has got me to the bones
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time
Too drunk and still drinking
It's just the way I feel
It's alright
Is what you told me
Cause what we had was so beautiful
Feel heavy like floating
At the bottom of the sea
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time
Some devil is stuck inside of me
I cannot set it free
I wish, I wish I was dead and you were grieving
Just so that you could know
Some angel is stuck inside of me
But I cannot set you free
You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Such a long and lonely time
Stuck inside of me

random of the day
was IMing with a friend, and were talking about my impossible new year resolution of trying to be a nicer person.
k:anyway maybe 男人不坏
k: woman 不爱
k: haha
fren: got woman love you?
fren: haha
k: ......
ouch ouch:P direct & straight. no offence taken. brutal truth, i like. haha.
then last nite i realised that memory is really failing badly. i was trying to recall what i did for the past 3 days. I had a hard time recalling, and i took like 10mins to piece back what i did.
and when i finally did, i was not 100% sure whether it was what i really did. i need some memory/brain enhancement.
omg. I am turning senile at 27.

truly random
as my family left for work, i left to swim in the pool downstairs. morning swims, with the cold water, kicks you hard in the rear and wakes you up. then after finishing my laps, up i go for some coffee and breakfast.
I have been attempting to maintain some level of fitness. so far so good, having able to squeeze in some exercise time. Hopefully i will be able to maintain my healthy lifestyle and a lean (not so)mean machine.
but i have receive requests to put on weight wahaha. "too slim lah", "look better with more meat lah"were the comments :P ok i shall see what i can do with the "more meaty look".
in the meantime, off to get a haircut. and fingers crossed on my job hunt!

uneventful
few hours of friday night at Hark Music with the boys to be entertained by some singing, which was rather good.
however not a really good night afterwards, with some unforseen circumstances that popped up, resulting in a few upset blokes. me and james could only just high 5 each other for being single :p
in the end, a spin in the car till we ended up at the lower seletar dam for the fresh chill air, reaching home around 4.
Saturday morning was spent helping out ED with some stuff for his WEDDING. nothing exciting. In fact the whole weekend was rather lacking in any activities.
sat noon was spent at home lazying around till the sun came out, and i proceeded for a 20mins short run and then a swim in my pool. it was a good workout with some good pain. I like it. had to reject ben for some cycling activity though. legs abit wobbly after the workout.
has been constantly searching for something to do, to break out of my constant "nua" state. anything just for kicks......hopefully something beneficial.

running 23
after dinner at suntec and accompanying the 2 boys to shop, i reached home and had the urge to go for a run, so a quick change into my running gear and the iPod my beloved sis gave me for christmas-birthday-new year gift, and off i go!
have not sourced for a route with minimal traffic, so i ran along the main roads around my block. even though it was night, there were quite abit of interferences from traffic and humans.
****OUCH!!!!*****
side track abit. i felt the pain for Essien, the chelsea player, when he was stepped on the groin by a barcelona player.
ok back to normal transmission
i have forgotten how isit like to run in humid singapore. I ran for about 500m and i felt perspiration on my back already. by the time i finished, the t-shirt was drenched. underwear also wet whahaha!!
didnt measure the distance. but ran about 23mins. probably 3-3.5km. it was a tough run as i felt the rustiness in the legs.
more to come hopefully!

wrath of women
Discuss the following.
unless the boys do the same as the women. which will not probably happen. most boys are quite fan4jian4. any slight sign of the woman of their life (mums are exception :P) being angry, we will usually be all apologising, kneeling and worshipping at the feet of the woman.
wat would K do? i think K would simply do as the above paragraph. putting the woman of his life up on the pedestal. Whether K really sinned or not, K would still sing his confessions of "sins" and lift songs of praise and apologies to her.
Observation 1: Women would rather get angry with their men than get what they want.
Observation 2: Women often commit the same crime as men but don’t get in trouble for it.
Observation 3: A man will not always know what he did to make a woman angry.
Observation 4: A woman is capable of getting angry at nearly anything.
Observation 5: If for some reason a woman cannot find anything to get angry with, she will devise one.

jonny sings blues
while mucking around at home few days ago, i spied a box of CDs containing my sis's and mine small collection of CD. i decided to play some music while cooking, so i picked out and played an album by Jonny Lang, a blues guitarist who is currently just 26.
The album, "Lie to me" was released in 1997, while he was 16!
but he plays the guitar with lots of soul and feeling, while singing the blues like a 40 year old dude. Although belonging to the genre of blues, it was nice enough to not only make me listen to it,i actually really enjoyed it.
i have sampled some of his later albums, and they sound real good. Seriously good enough to make me part with some $$.
CD search on!

2007 new year resolutions
It is abit late for new year resolution. but anyway this is what i would love to accomplish this year. it is gonna look pretty much similar as last year's, since i have some unaccomplished targets(as always)
2006 went past with some rough patch, but mostly good i must say. God has been good to me. Lost some but gain more than what i lost.
The bad patch, i have recovered from it. in fact i have learnt to picked myself up from such a bump, brush off the dirt and move on. I want and i will rise above it! As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
and here are the list!!
Meanwhile, probably start to plan for things that can be planned, like half marathon training routine. But most importantly, the job search, this one will probably make me wanna bang the walls, bang balls, bang my head if i last until CNY unemployed.
come 2008, i shall look back and see what i have accomplished......till then

and here are the list!!
- Stable Job
its fucking bloody time to start a fucking bloody career! and hopefully of my interest. Indeed, this is my biggest worry lah. - Take part in at least one half marathon
Reaction of some friends when they heard me saying wanting to go for this half marathons was "HUH!Siao" or something along that line.
I believe there has got to be something to aim at, so as to motivate myself to do something, especially when it comes to things that are easy to push off like your own personal fitness. - Less asshat, less ego, Be nice
Learn to put away my pride and ego when needed.
i actually need to remind myself to be nice. and i thought we were supposed to be nice to begin with. - Expand my social network
I have always been slow to warming up to people, hence the difficulty to hit off with people. Hopefully can change this. - Significant other?
I had thought about settling down. Still keeping my options open......
wait a minute. what options?
Meanwhile, probably start to plan for things that can be planned, like half marathon training routine. But most importantly, the job search, this one will probably make me wanna bang the walls, bang balls, bang my head if i last until CNY unemployed.

looking back 2006
Time to analyze the year that has just past. lets have a look at last year's new year resolution.
this year, hmm.....i can't really be bothered to set any.......for now. let me think of some objectives for myself first then i will probably put it up here.
- Complete my studies within end of 2006
Which means no "ta bao" of any subjects, clear everything!! One shot one kill!!!!
PASS graduate loh - Improve my fitness
Which is to say get back my 12 pull ups and try tohit 15kmrun a half-marathon at the end of year. Hopefully make my body stronger too, wont fall sick so easily
near pass??? i managed to hit 12km on my own, even though knowing i wont be taking part in any 21Ks. For pull ups,i did 10 last nite with just abit of difficulty. so i guess i could struggle for 12. - Becoming less of an asshat wonder:p
Which means be nice to all people around me. I haven't been doing that muahhaha - And play better golf
Just starting to really play, learn, enjoy it and hopefully get better at it.
Pass skills got improve abit, more consistent iron play. gotta hit more of the drivers and improve the short game. - Improve my relationship
with my Creator. Which i have always been procrastinating over for like forever.
Fail forever just got extended.
???? this, can't decide by myself. of course i say will pass. has gotta ask those around me. but i dun think i will score well on this.
this year, hmm.....i can't really be bothered to set any.......for now. let me think of some objectives for myself first then i will probably put it up here.

new year new routine new job?
happy new year guys and girls!!
hope you had fun during this recent festive season, and those working, this long weekend must be real good huh.
new year, new beginning, everything new. new routine too. i woke up this morning and instead of being able to slack, i received orders from mum from her office to go to the market and get some pork ribs and some vege.
never mind. reached home to receive new orders to cook dinner.....for the family! i never thought i would be doing these in Singapore man. now i have received a new label, houseman(whatever that is) from someone who knew about it.
i have always cooked dinner previously, but that is for myself and myself only. so i can afford to bo chap and just anyhow cook. if i were to cock up during cooking, its me alone who will be having a lousy dinner. now i have drag my family into it :(
i think i should seriously take up cooking. maybe if cannot find job, i can be a lousy personal chef, cooking upon request.
anyone wants to be my first possible customer? order at your own risk hor. no refund, no toilet and no toilet paper provided.
