"Depend not on another, but lean instead on thyself...True happiness is born of self-reliance."

lalalala havent blogged for quite awhile. in fact, probably the longest time i've gone without blogging since i started this blog.

holidays are "officially" here! let's do a quick recap on last week...

Sunday - Went for my first bowling competition of sorts. $32 entry free, 13 or so participants. Went with Har and Aden. Bowled totally like shit that day, had two games where I struck every shot on the right lane and opened nearly every frame on the left. Ended up averaging around 150 or something. Aden fared worse, ended up switching to bowling two-handed style halfway and came in last -_-. Har the epic win average around 180, got 3rd place and $30 prize money for his trouble. Not bad la $2 for 5 games for him haha. Was dam nervous during the competition -.-

Monday - Woke up. Babysit sister until lunch time while my mom brought my grandma to the hospital for check-up. Mom comes back, I leave house for Tampines to meet Caleb/Xiaohui/Mini/Yihui/Serene/Gail before fac outing. After that fac outing until dam late, our class zi high like siao. Ended up back in school at ten plus, then still went to play lan with Wudi/Edwin/Lionel/Matthew and i think one more guy or something but cant remember -.- then lionel came my house for a stayover.

Tuesday - Woke up. Go school with Lionel, he goes home while i go for math remedial which was enriching of sorts but i keep feeling like falling asleep when i see anything math-related -.- after that go play lan (again) with mark/jj/andai/shawn/ben and 1 or 2 more or something and finally owned in cs after a long long time haha. And dota too =.= swapped ign with jerrold and randomed Lanaya LOL.

Wednesday - Wake up. Go to school for Math Remedial. Enjoy a 3 hour walk from coronation plaza to underground, exploring the various paths behind the school. Find a 3 meter stick which is fun to swing around. Go play pool with serene/desheng/edwin/lionel/xiaohui/mini and maybe one or two more but i cant seem to remember again.

Today - Wake up. Pon math remedial, go for bowling training. Zham my own ankle. Bowl a 222 game right after that. Go kbox with kahhsing/yihui/edwin/lionel/caleb/ryan. burnt out now. training tomorrow.... lalala

"Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking."

Nose hurts like hell. Feels like its been broken into two, and anything that causes it to move results in the broken edges rubbing against each other (and hence intense pain). This includes, but is not restricted to the following- Breathing, Walking, Yawning, Sneezing, Opening my mouth to drink or eat.

No idea of the cause. Seems to have happened overnight. Hurts so bad I can't even go jogging, what with the twin assaults of pain from trying to breathe and each footstep.

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made."

Ever had those days where you felt nothing could go wrong?

Well, I just had one of those days. Or rather, a couple of those hours. During bowling training.

The ball just zooms in on the pocket. 2 steps, 3 steps, 5 steps. Plastic Ball, Reactive Ball. Fast Ball, Slow Ball, high rev, low rev. Hits the pocket regardless.

Hitting the pocket 4 out of 5 shots. Striking about every time I miss the pocket. Striking about every time I hit the pocket weak or too high. Pins just fly.

Never felt so shuang while bowling before.

"Love the ones you can. Touch the ones you can reach. Let the others go."

Think of it this way. All people are truly selfish. Even those who give their lives for others might be doing so because they would rather die than live and face the guilt of knowing that he or she might have saved said person. It's wired into our brains. We act upon our own selfish impulses. If we make others happy, its just a coincidental by-product. Everyone is selfish.

Sometimes unluckily some people's selfish-ness lead to the others around them being unhappy. These people get despised...

And sometimes some people's selfish-ness lead to the others around them being happy. These people are well-liked...

If making someone happy makes you happy, then by making someone happy, aren't you being selfish in fulfilling your own desires?

I seemed to have talked about this before, but I can't get it off my mind now.

186.3km is a long long way to go... literally.
26.5km per week.

Considering I cant jog everyday, that means Sunday mornings will be dedicated to at least 10km to meet my goal. Which still leaves at least 3 sessions of 5.5km per week. Not good... maybe this Sunday I'll jog to Vivo and back, cutting the numbers by 20.

Should be posting a map of my jogging path here every time from now on.

My last 3 sessions:

"Old age is not so bad when you consider the alternatives."

Caught in the dreams of yesterday,
In a world so far away,
Show me that love is here to stay,
Can we find another way?
Please take me far away,
To the world of yesterday.

I wait for my dreams to come true,
It's another part of you.
Turn back time and you'll find,
You're always on my mind.
You be here,
And I have no fear,
The time is right just show me the light,
You show me the light.

Maybe I'm too blind to see,
There's no chance for you and me.
But you're always in my heart,
And i knew it from the start.
Just come back to me and stay,
We'll find another way.

"Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable."

Took up night jogging again.

There's a thrill in sweating down a path surrounded by trees and water listening to the crickets and trying to make sure I don't run off the path.

Brings me back to the days where my father and I would camp in a forest for hours past midnight to wait for durians to fall. Oh, those were the days.

Thanks Serene and Yi Hui for the Domo-kun XD
and Edwin and Lionel and Ning for the nerf gun XD
and Gail for the breadou XD
and all those that wished me happy birthday
