doing data entry at MoM and while didn't really work much (actually started work at 1030 and ended at 1700), i was so tired..kept dozing off when i wasn't doing anything. see, there were 3 guys to 1 pc, which was me (who's new), my cousin (who's more familiar with the data check) and this other guy (who has the id and password but not very familiar). so we took turns to do the data checking. finished random checking approx 500 names.
looks like i'll be trying all the food available from hong lim every lunch hour..haha the bak kut teh wasn't fantastic..the meat was nice but thats abt it..the soup like not very nice and the yuo tiao like too thick. haha..anyways..
work ended early..like the whole bunch of temps (10 of us) all left at the same time..so went to the qshop to get the moori s that i clamped on friday.. justin said that it seemed like a moori q. so good haha..now to let joseph test it..
and while heading back by train, its suddenly stopped at tiong bahru due to a "track obstruction" so thot jialat have to get out and change..then it started moving again after 15 mins.. (guess i was too lazy to move..not that i was sitting but standing -_-") then it stopped again at redhill then i saw what the problem was. someone/something was on the track (most likely someone) got knocked down by the train..could see the scdf officers looking for something under the train..no blood and gore though haha..
anyway did i mention my muscles are all aching from monday's running and tennis? =X hahaa..now super aching haha..craps siah.

of hydrophobia and phobia of roller coasters
first, i guess i've some minor form of hydrophobia (for those who can't tell :P its fear of water)..no idea where i got it from or when the fear started. but if my feet can't touch the ground i somehow really start to panic, mildly. well haha..so swimming at the deep end's a no-no for me. strangely i'm fine in the normal end of the pool (where i can reach the bottom) or when i can't reach the bottom but it ain't that deep that i can't kick myself back up..
but guess on thurs it wasn't that bad..somehow all the tossing INTO and OUT OF and dunking helped a bit..and yes mr plasticine rules k!
and the other is the fear of roller coasters..although i've been able to take some of them which were probably done when i'm either on a death wish or just willing to scare myself out of my skin. on a completely normal day, nothing could make me go on one heh.
and off topic..i'm quite fascinated with the descriptive writing of dan brown, been thru his books like no one's business. really spell-bound/captivated/caught up in his works. can't believe i finished 2 books in 6-7 hours each. once again..read with discernment but with an eye for his detail of description.
gonna stay up for the closing ceremony later..i mean like if i caught most of the olympics whats one more nite?
and caught harold & kumar today..incredibly hilarious but yet so subtle the hidden meanings. apart from excessive cursing *rolls eyes* it was a really entertaining yet eye opening movie. wierd it only shows on saturdays and sundays..
and like lisa, grace and danny had to go back for sgbf and i had till 7 (for my dinner appointment) so i walked to city hall and...

and yes i watched the encore..! dohh!

started with ept ranking on sat which i got frozen out by quite a good player. lost like 7-0 in under an hour. didn't do much cept sit in my chair. :( guess that means i've still got a long way to go =/ then yf was fine cept i was quite zoned out..a mistake on my part. considering i only went to sleep at 6 in the morning after watching the men's doubles finals which was like 6-4, 3-6, 17-15 to the croatian pair. forgive me i'm lazy to check the actual scores but i remember it was sth like that. a 4 hour match zz -_- but nevertheless very entertaining. BUT..i had to be up by 10 in hte morning so i got abt 4 hours sleep. which meant by the time ept started i was ready to fall asleep (which i didn't) and for yf i was too tired.
then sunday was really ok. went to qshop to get the set of balls for galvin's birthday prezzie (happy birthday dude!) then back to church for sgbf. watched the national day rally by the new PM and wheeeeeeeeeeee!!! i'm so happy! hhaha...he said that all civil servants including army personel would have a 5 day week! lol...! and yes olympics till 4 am. hahaha..like why must they put the 100m finals at the end of the night! *grumbles*
so well i just got up. and my aunt told me to get an application form and fill it up so that i can take up a part time job when there are vacancies..yikes hope they do it fast..
owells and yes 58 days to go!

have this to share with you guys
10 better choices in life
1. Wisdom > Wealth
Proverbs 3:13-14, "13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom and the man that getteh understanding. 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of sliver, and the gain thereof than fine gold."16:16, "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get
understanding rather to be chosen than silver!"
2. Humility > Pride
12:9, "He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread."
25:7, "For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen."
3. Fear of the Lord > No fear of the Lord
15:16, "Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and
trouble therewith."
4. Love > Hate
15:17, "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith."
5. Righteousness > Injustice
16:8, "Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right."
"Work as much as you can, Gain as much as you can, Save as much as you can and Give (to God) as much as you can."
6. Peace > Anger
16:32, "He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city."
7. Integrity > Decietful
19:1, "Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool."
19: 22, "The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar."
22:1, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold."
8. Loving Wife > Contentious Wife
21:9, "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house."
21:19, "It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a
contentious and an angry woman."
25:24, "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house."
9. Love Expressed > Love Suppressed
27:5, "Open rebuke is better than secret love."
28:23 "He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue."
13:24, "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him quickly."
10. Faithfulness > Unreliable
27:10, "Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off."
just had to share it, thot it was very good. anyway all verses are from proverbs and the version's kjv :) most of them (if not all) should need no explanation but if need be, just tag
after that, i went for a long walk by myself to a bustop where i could get a bus back and that was good..quiet and alone and all :)
and somehow i feel tired after it --" haha..
owells..
of pool and buffets
did it while practicing alone after rajesh pangseh-ed me (cuz smart him forgot he had to refree a match later that evening!) but was really feeling sluggish and bloated the entire day too..no thanks to a stuffing from a dim sum buffet.
like met anthony for lunch at some restuarant. bugger's stinkin rich (can you believe he is my age and like has a gold card?) and fat :P so he order we eat and it was like a lot..hmmms 16 dishes? donno lost count after they decided to all start arriving at the same time. so full can? now i need to work it off again..argh!
anyways after the solo practice went to the qshop where i left at ard 11. was playing pool on the 7footer there..8 and 9 ball practice with justin. and i can tell that when i'm tired i play like crap.
and like so sorry small one! big one forgot all abt your birthday --" so hope it made it up to you :)

p i e c e s
pool's not been good.. i'll play well for a while and then things don't work out.. losing focus before i completely throw it out the window. don't know what i'm doing and what i'm doing wrong. also i feel myself stagnating again... can't seem to get past this mental barrier and improve..
at least friendship has been going up.. though sometimes i swear i've got pple trying to stab me with invisible daggers.. but apart from that, there's been new friendships made, old ones not forgotten and hurtful ones forgotten.
well.. guess someday the pieces will come to place and i will be whole again..
so first, i'll try to concentrate on pool. the key word being try..
and i'm not too keen on discussin the other pieces that are apart right now..

cycling, sun, and other stuff
danny and lisa planned a cycling trip to pple's houses to wish them a happy national day, take a pic and give a lollipop.. sounds really funny..too bad lisa couldn't make it..
then i was late in waking up, like i got up at 11..so had to push the meeting time back to abt 1215 then danny's tires were flat so he had to pump so by the time we first met up was already 1235. reached our first stop, lingwei's then on to the next stop where danny, broke his pedal (like woohoo well done!) and then onto nancy's place, who wasn't feeling too well, but she made it out to welcome us, then down the canal to amanda's place followed a rest stop at lisa's :) then we slacked abit more and then left at ard 1400, only to discover her tires were almost flat. so had to go esso to pump and that was at 1430 when we reached esso and viola! her tires weren't flat, they were punctured! --" so had to get back and then change a bike. following that was just a smooth journey all the way to west coast park where the teens were kiteflying and some of the j2s were playing touch rugby and stuff. so after accompanying them all the way there, then turned ard and headed for home. by the time i got home was 1540 i believe..so got a scolding for being late..haha..it didn't matter..i was having too much fun to care abt the time :P
then went to my auntie's place at u.serangoon there..watched the national day thing and played mahjong :) but today no luck =X so got kicked out of the table in quick succession (each person starts with 25 chips, lose that and you can sit out)..but woo..the level they were playing at was over me head..but at least i learnt much and didn't play too badly :) watched my "pro" uncles and aunties play a couple of rounds and it was like woow..! heh..so like just got back home.. prob gonna sleep soon..
so happy national day :) and happy 39th birthday, singapore :)) (which i've no idea why i'm saying it but maybe i'm hyper on caffiene or sth)

sometimes, we can only talk the talk.
anyway yf was good, glad i made the effort to go. see, smart me who knows the bus routes and stuff took 970 and missed the stop (dun ask me why..!) so had to alight at holland v. then there got shortage of buses going to clementi, like suddenly. so waited ard 15 mins and managed to get onto 7. then went to clementi and tried to change to 154. guess what, that played me out too! waited nearly half an hour for the 154 to come!! -.-" so like i reached church at 7. when in the first place, i could have taken 51 from gf and reach half an hour earlier *rolls eyes fantastic? i thot so too.. =X
anyways..yf was on the book of joel :) haha..and like went eld cheong went over a certain pt i thot of sth. he said that the bible didn't include much information of the prophet joel, it simply put it as God spoke to the prophet, who is the son of so-and-so. but thats all the information there is. eld cheong put it this way, says the book basically is abt the message of the book, that like although when we hear the message at sermons or sharings, we look at the life the person is living...cuz as my title put it, "don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk" its true la..but this time its just about the msg and what an apt name for the prophet giving God's statements in this book, jo-el is split like this and it means "Jehovah is God"
well apart from that, walked lisa back with grace and dawn and geez it was so hyper..i felt so old :P haha..but it was fun..thanks you three! :) (should you see this that is)

days have just gone by
besides the good news (as always abt my cue), nothing much interests me besides getting my stroke back and having good music to groove to. sighh.. =S
