1.40pm i finally stop procrastinating. signing up 4 MULTIPLY n LJ account now. so irritating la... esp LJ! argh... i was trying to get it over n done wif but all my usual nicks r taken! like evan-essence n watever deviations! 5 min later... still struggling wif LJ! man! 10 min later... ok gr8! i'm done. now i have 2 more accounts wif new nicks n passwords to rem. wat a challenge for my over-taxed, low-capacity storage facility... think some pp call it "brain". eh shucks! i 4got my multiply password!

was on leave yesterday. actually had a whole day planned...but woke up 2 heavy rain... n i couldnt possibly lug my oil painting and easel n paints ard in dat torrent. so i cancelled my outdoor plans grudgingly... was asking God y? then kinda got the answer. the last time when it rained the whole day (i was at work in NUS) like how yesterday was, i was telling God i would like to be able 2 stay at home on a day like dat! n so... here it is! wow! u mean... God arranged it on my leave day juz as i ve asked some time back? wow... suddenly my whole perspective changed. stayed in... played my guit, my piano (the "black gang" as i lovingly termed them yesterday), read, journalled... then managed to jog in the late afternoon wen it finally stopped pouring. so i had my much-needed beach visit during my jog. was a nice restful day.

went out to paint at night.it had started drizzling again. (then i realised the rain stopped nicely so i could go for my hour-long jog! cool....!) donned in surfing berms (those nice waterproof kneelength ones), my standchart marathon tee, and my trusty bertulas, with a book, PDA, paints, brushes, palette n easel stashed into my huge duffel slung over my right shoulder, my acoustic guit over my left and my 'oil-on-canvas-80%-done' painting in my hand, i thot how i looked was a good snapshoot of me.

staying in today 2 finish my backlog journal entries n read my book, check email, settle some work stuff, prep for tmr svc n cell, n hopefully jam wif the black gang! thank God for rest! aaaaah..!

this is a disclaimer i long wanted to write:
i noe my entries used 2 b more didactic n some will say "spiritual". but now it has 'degenerated' into some lousy blow-by-blow account of my daily life... well... all i can say to those who r disappointed cos of your high regard of 'spirituality' and how full time workers should act or write... i kinda want this 2 b abt my "meaningless" (hey it's biblical! it's in Ecc! actually only in NIV) or, as this blog's title suggests, evanescent(which is nearer the original meaning in Ecc) existence... so if u want some educational sermon-like stuff, go read online sermons... or other blogs which i'm sure u've found. if not, i can direct you to some. n i thank you 4 visiting nonetheless. (if u think i m directing this at you, NO I M NOT. dun b so sensitive. i'm juz writing this for fun, to get it off my chest.)
