Geez, time really flies. Lately been feeling quite low about myself, thinking that I can’t do it or that. Haven really achieved anything after so long, but this time it’s different. Don know why, instead of my usual brooding and sulking and waiting for the feeling to blow over, I feel this sudden urge to work harder and improve more, and so I shall. Deadline’s almost here.

The other day had breakfast with two of my other primary school friends, zhu and weiliang. Long time since I last saw weiliang, but of coz he’s a busy man, deferred ns to go and study medicine in nus. Long time since I had big breakfast at Mac’s, and with great company, I had a great time I must say. After that went over to zhu’s place to swim actually, but it just had to rain. On my way there, I almost died lol. The road was slippery and my brakes were not really functioning properly, so I pressed a little harder and it locked the wheel, so my bike did a little bee dance, left right left right. Luckily I let go off the brakes and braked again, and so I managed to stop in time, but the funny thing is that I didn’t even feel anything about the almost-fall. Ha, my senses must have been immune to the way I’m riding. But oh well, darn the brakes. Hopefully I can save enough money to get the brembo brakes that I always been wanting, guess it must cost a bomb.

Got back my bicycle from the bike shop the other day, I must say they did a good job, definitely worth the money I paid for. But I splurged some cash on this mudguard that I have been eyeing for since god knows when. It’s actually imported from US and the design is nice and very simple. Its usual price is usually 72.50. That piece has been in the damn shop for years, saw it since 2001. So I causally said to the uncle, “uncle ar, that ‘the’ mudguard in your shop for very long already hor. Sell me for 50 can or not.” Without even looking at me, he said, “ya lo, that one imported one, very hard to find. 50 ar, ok la ok la.” I was stunned, I shld have asked for 45, haha. Knn, humans are never satisfied.

Had a competition the other day, I offered to be judge, the event was eventful, I must say, didn’t go really well. The most disturbing thing that came to me is where has all the sportsmanship gone to? What the hell, Olympics just over and the spirit went home to Athens with it. Every team came up to ask after the results and the losing team just headed home. In the end, after the first rd, there were only 10 team’s left watching coz they are the only ten teams that are competing in the semi finals. The comp didn’t even finish in the end becoz of some stupid shit. Don wanna talk about it. Den on Monday, my this friend from station said that he saw me on sat judging and organizing the whole damn thing and he said, “wa, u must be quite good ar, can judge the comp”, but no matter how I try to bring across the fact that I’m lousy, he just wouldn’t buy it, oh well, I’ll leave judging to the pros next time. Save me tons of trouble and I can just watch or break. He’s got a point when he said, “don bluff la, to judge pp, u must be good yourself one what.” Opps, he shot me down without even having to aim.

These few days have been smsing with her. Asked her why she hasn’t got a boyfriend till now, she said that she’s just waiting for the right one to come along. Then, she asked about me and I said once bitten twice shy. Then without referring to anything in particular, she just said that I must be more confident. Hmmm, seriously easier said than done. I don even dare to think of asking her out. Zzz. Think being single is better, hah.

As usual, looking forward to breaking later. Can’t wait to practice my improvised routine.
