man...! i think i m a blog addict!!! couldn't blog over the weekend n i got the withdrawal syndromes! feel weird, kept thinking abt blogging, fridgety....

so... now i m back blogging at least 3 entries!!! muahaha...

29 oct
despite having a good sleep, i woke up "today" (this is a back blog rem?) feeling i need more sleep...! this is cos
1. of my insomnia for the past month, this 8 hours felt like a drop in the bucket and my body was groaning for more... (i can go for more... my record was straight 18 hrs after i came back fr US!)
2. old liao...! cant do chalet over 2 consecutive weekends...! (man...! i must say despite the 'fun', i really am too old for 'chalet-ing')

this 2 days at sea view chalet... mum's birhday celebration. the SAF chalet is not as clean as the changi aloha one... now got a few pimples to deal wif... (they'd better go b4 e 3rd!)

watched Animae... not really a fan... but cousin was going thru the "Prince of Tennis" series like the umpteenth time, i sat n watch anyway. wat i learnt:

1. it really is a waste of time (sorry to Animae fans!). i can use my time more productively. dat's y i dun really watch TV serials... not willing 2 gif much commitment.(thankfully my cousin hadn't had enuf time to go thru SEED)

2. usually story revolves ard something that the characters are totally passionate about; totally sold out for. and in this case was tennis... . n that's kinda lacking in real life. kinda invigorating 2 c how given the characters r

3. unusually reminded of what mentoring is all about. the captain saw e need 2 train protagonist n he did it at a high cost - aggravating his injury dat might cost him his own career in tennis. when asked why he did dat, he replied "there is no point in following a famous player of the old generation. it is better to shape e player of the new generation." he saw the time ripe to train Ryoma and help shape his playing style. and in grabbing this opportune time, he ignited a passion in Ryoma. what a precious lesson in investing in a life! he knew the cost, he knew what it took and he paid it. Lord, help me to ignite a fire of passion in someone's life so dat he will b ablaze 4 You. Help me know how, when and what it takes to do it and give me the courage to pay the price.

... Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training, they do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. therefore i do not run like a man running aimlessly: i do not fight like a man beating the air. No, i beat my body and make it my slave so that after i have preached to others, i myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

31 Oct monday
the view from the chalet is gr8. can c the sea fr the bedroom, from the hall... all day long can see the boats pass by, airplanes landing... so nice to juz sit n look out, with a book in hand. reminds me of 2 years ago when i spent my birthday at penang w Shin doing the same thing ...

man... i thot it was boring to stay over but now i changed my mind... in fact, i would ve loved 2 b able to spend the day like dat... but... need to go down to NUS. somehow someone'll arrange something on your off day...! no complaints. =)

i bemuse myself reading Jennifer Weiner's book, "Little Earthquakes". haha... wat on earth m i doin wif a book on 3 v pregnant women, n their journey into motherhood anyway?! make myself wan 1 all d more? but it's recommended (by Bu) n a good read anyway. oh...!! CONGRATS KIM!!!!! WELCOME to the world, ASHLEY!!! my only complaint is dat u should ve waited 4 more days... then i'll really dote on u 4eva!! i was hoping n hoping u would!

lots of regrets 4 e dinner tho... an ungrateful bunch of gals complaining abt me being late. man... after all the (as one of them put it) "sai kang" of arranging a meet-up i almost kicked myself 4 doing it! P comm 515 mit was arranged late sun nite lor... way after i arranged 630 mit at paragon. work wat. i of course go lah. hearing their complaints abt everyone else being late blah blah, an all-so-familiar sense of regret came over me. it's not the first time. y do i keep putting myself thru all this trouble?! then i recalled d purpose. nearly got thrown off my track. yes. keep ur goal in mind, gal.
still wif goal in mind... rather unfruitful. missed the goal.but... will by faith leave it in God's hands. God, pls help.
