today, there was this western couple at the gym. the woman had a rather shrilly voice and kept commenting on alot of things. and she went "oh i can do this!" at near nonexistent weights. saw a few others too doing exercises as if they were nothing. i mean come on, gym is NOT supposed to be a relaxed affair..it's probably just me, but i can't stand it when others are not appreciating or taking things as how they are/should be.

the carlsberg channel 8 movie series are not bad leh! (fyi carlsberg is just the major sponsor, the movies aren't centred around it!) i'm of the stand that short shows/movies beat long draggy dramatisations. today's plot was good, and there were a few really emotional moments that got to me as well. wow!

hmm, you know i'm seeing quite a few friends around me with the intention of doing a business in future. which influenced me a little; what could i possibly do? well i thought of one: training. if i ever ever happen to embark on (or sidetrack into) such a route, i want to do something that helps others, instead of simply selling some mind-blowing product. i want lots of personal interaction, i want to see good things coming out of what i do. this is kind of a random seed planted in me though, who knows what will happen years down the road haha.

let's talk take 5 now! ah didn't get to do very many different things, bummer. but hey, i tried out rodeo bull (or simply robot bullriding), was quite shiok! and it really works your abs heh. video on fb! XD and then the class (or the few of us who were around at least) played alot alot of captain's ball. was fun! my ball phobia vanishes when you play with such a tiny ball yay. and i koped alot of 100 plus too. speaking of which, there was A LOT of FREE OF CHARGE 100 plus and milo being given out. madness.

went for ASL interview at haw par villa after that. mr lawrence na whom we talked to was super knowledgeable wow, couldn't help but feel that our PW report would have been greatly bolstered with his points. ahh unfortunate that we got him late, but if nothing else it was an excellent learning experience just to listen to him. he pointed out really insightful points on how the government/people worked, and the mentality of people really determine everything that happens. after a talk like that, you do feel more and more that old places are worth the conservation. and a personal project on it has no doubt made me grow some attachment to the place!

read joseph's blog today, and i realised that his unit is facing problems that i see reflected in my own. the problem is that one good batch doesn't necessarily guarantee another, and good batches were already rare to come by. which makes me question the definition of "good", but that's besides the point. what can be done argh. half a year thereabout more, and then it's goodbye.

that's about it for now; am going to go off and try to get what fun and rest i can from this short but rather hectic CNY break! happy CNY too everyone!
