it is not how physically fit you are. it s more abt mental strength than physical stamina. tried to run on deepavali hol... n horror of horrors, i only managed to run 3k n walked 9! sigh... i wasnt tired or totally washed out. i juz didnt wan to run n didnt push. i could if my state of mind was otherwise. so yeah... i'm so dead for stand chart this year.

i realised that pp shudder abt getting a year older. it's funny... cos we are a day older everyday. and 4 most pp this compuonded reality only hits on their b'days. which is sad cos you're supposed to be happy dat day, not horrified. ahha. anyway, i've found more friends who were mournful to my surprise. for me, the horrors havent gotten me. i enjoyed being 27 last year. while i m pretty happy abt being 28, i did wonder if i would enjoy being 28 as much as i did 27 or more. i felt more than assured. if jn 10:10 or 15:5 is any true.

anyway, things were beginning to look up during the lull in my stressed period. then more work got placed on my plate. haha... n i began to wonder if i had only began to feel better so that i coud take on way more - took on presentation of OA 141 after pp culdnt n wouldnt do it, took on IC to organise Sisiterhood when pp couldnt n wouldnt, n then took on organising a med sisterhood, n d super-stressful accomplish-all showcase all, multi-media presentation in 30min campaign vision casting slot in meta. so yeah... while i took a breather from my speaking engagements and all kinds of projects, i took on more. i have decided that i m almost an innocent party in this "kill evan with min" conspiracy. haha. somehow, i oddly got this assurance that God is with me in all of this. tho right now, i have laboured almost futilely at the laptop. so yeah... now i m wondering if wat i juz typed is of any sense. no going back to read it. juz blabbering on.

cyn cooked us crabs eve of deepa when za n i visited. had a wonderful pig-out. we all (4 of us) continued to attest to God's faithful providence tho we had to admit it hadnt been easy. (understatement there). cyn looked so bloated n round...pregnancy in full glory!

JLo gave birth on deepa! n the time i visited them got blogged on cyber posterity. didnt know my visit that tiring day could been such a blessing to them n me. silly boy... couldnt u have come out on the 3rd?!?! u r late!

can u imagine how many of my friends r still getting hitched these 6 weeks? 6 friends! 6! (qwei, cheong c, pris long, gerald & dawn, sharon, jenn) n how many more r giving birth in these 6 weeks?!?! 4!!!!!!! (jac, cyn, yvonne, val) i m so broke! so happily poor!! so... u can ask me out... but do give alms k? lol

had a gr8 time with leen, XL n Di on sat. it s really a HUGE blessing we can still celebrate each other still. been tog for more than half my life! eeks! it is beginning to be embarrassing to tell others how long weve been friends! muahaha.

QW tied the knot on sun. had a gr8 time catching up with JC friends. we marvelled at how she successfully kept us in the dark for 5 years, shocked at our inability to recover from our disbelief, laughed at how she dared to invite me to be her wedding singer, agreed dat i make a better last min emcee than that brave, poor inexperienced guy. n of course all of us gathered round val like good old times to listen to her tell stories except this time, it's abt her n her pregnancy. she's still the matriach. hahah.

Jon sms me today to ask if i could bring up the exhibition to this sat. yes my artwork's gonna go on show. but this week's really bad. i got 2 presentations to make on tues n wed n i m dying here.... dun think i hav time... dunno if i'll take up his offer. but wat a dream come true. hope i can pull this off. i'm keeping my fingers crossed! but wait... how can i do dat, if i need to use them for typing?! hmmm...
