of official closures and beginnings

tomorrow...i shall be officially graduating from Uni...heh...despite working for almost a year already...nonetheless...a form of closure for mi...of the times i've been thru...i would say it was fun :)

so much for the importance of convocation and graduation, i've gotta head back to work shortly after that...heh...at least its to plan for going to RWS and USS...then again...been there....done that...nonetheless...work is work...

after much procrastination, i'm finally settling the transfer of ownership for the car...its a expensive hassle...but gotta be done...sigh...hopefully can make it official by next week..not gonna be tinkering much with the car though...dun have the financial luxury now :(

Oh yeah..of another new beginning...i've finally picked up golf...heh...going thru some lessons now...managed to hit some decent shots...I"M SO HOOKED! but its an expensive sport...damn it...

perhaps to end off...i wanna officially tell myself to stop being such a pussy and get on with it...whatever it is...GO!

busy, depressing month

and so b4 we know it...we're entering the 2nd half of the year...damn it...and july doesnt seem to be a month i can slack off..sad :(

after various office commitments, i'll have to serve the nation, back to wearing green for awhile...lagi sad :(

something random...i'm quite the type who tend to have infatuations for a pretty long time~longest record i was infatuated with this gal in poly for 2 years (think 45..heh)...damn...i might fall into that again...though usually it means i'll end up nowhere...hmmm...bachelors' club anyone?

ill again~

juz when i tot i should realli get back to jogging again...i fall sick...so irritating...doesn't help that work juz starting to pile up again...disgusted that work juz gets thrown down so easily and irresponsibly, and unfairly...

been working despite running a fever since last nite til now..surviving on paracetamol..gonna knock out early tonite...in hope of feeling better tomoro...

first of more 21kms

and so lion king came and went, and i honestly enjoyed the show, for its costumes, props, theatrics. Its amazing how detailed and sophisticated the artwork and mechanism were invested into the whole production. so that wasn't a disappointment, in fact, enjoyed the show and the company.

this time yesterday (or rather last nite), i was huffing and puffing away cuz i was in the middle of my 21km run...sadly, 21km used to be easier...damn~ nonetheless, finished it...thanks to my running buddy...will be running 21km again in Sep...and then the dreaded 42km...still considering if i should do it again...seriously...

of jogging again, muscle aches, and an itching (potentially breaking) heart

becuz i haven ran for a freaking long time, and becuz i have put on a hell lot of weight, and and becuz my neighbourhood frenly army buddy psycho-ed mi, i signed up the sundown half-marathon...

so i have been jogging again recently with my army buddy...in a bid to survive 21km relatively unscathed...unfortunately becuz we were not as fit as b4 (at least i wasn't...) i could feel the aches in my hamstring, thigh, and calf muscles...

juz did a good 10km juz now...hope it'll be enough for us to survive our sundown...

on another note...tomoro (or rather, later), i'll be catching a musical which has had some raving reviews...hoping the nite will not be a disappointment, on more than 1 front...we shall see..if the nite ends well or not...

"There are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it is a mistake is to make that mistake and look back and say, "Yup, that was a mistake". So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake because then you'll go your whole life not really knowing if something is a mistake or not."

Lily Aldrin of "How I Met Your Mother"

older again...damn...

so older by another yr...took the opportunity to take some long break from work...6 good longs days in fact...common question that came up..."why didn't you go for holiday!?!?!?...qn was...no one to go with :P

12 May - celebrated with PA induction mates at Timbre...and got sabo-ed up to the stage...MALU!

13 May - rotted at home and watched How I Met Your Mother...to say i am hooked onto it is an understatement! Chilled out with uni guys for supper though...good catch up...though not long enough though i reckon...

14 May - Family Dinner at a seafood restaurant we always wanted to try...good...not fantastic...followed by movie! Fast & Furious 5...AWESOME!

15 May - Caught up with another batch of PA colleagues for movie! Priest...good..not fantastic~

16 May - caught up with a few other uni mates :) as well as played Halo with my poly gang of guys later on~

17 May - met up with my one and only god sis, Mitch~ lurve her! b4 heading to meet parents and mother's extended family for dinner at brudder M.Y. 's place.

god sis Mitch told mi a few enlightening stuff which i feel, some hopefully, some hopefully not, that might seem the case in future....damn...

1. I should likely lead a comfortable lifestyle...with finances not being a worry...should be...hopefully...

2. But i should likely not be able to find anyone to share my life with until i'm at least 30....damn....

oh well...back to work tomoro~

of elections and disappointments

and so the heat of the elections is over...some of my own reflections on these...

better men who should have served are not going to, while lesser personalities who have yet proven themselves or are already unworthy stay instead...such is politics...such is life...

My speculation is that Mr Yeo will continue to serve the nation as Ambassador-at-large for Singapore, bearing in mind that he is already very well-versed in foreign affairs, with our foreign counterparts expressing their sadness and disbelief at Mr Yeo's departure. As I was reading today's Straits Times, I came across an article written by Mr Tommy Koh, a gentleman whom i highly respect, and is coincidentally, Singapore's Ambassador-at-large. His article reads, "George Yeo: A man for all seasons". A really insightful review on the former Foreign Minister. I implore all to read the article should you have the opportunity.

Alas, to deal with disappointments is part and parcel of life. I wish Mr Yeo all the best...
