feels quite shiok to be blogging in front of my new lcd monitor, a gift from my cousin, for the first time. haha. even though it's down to a 15" screen, it's not bulky like the previous cathode-ray one. and its colour goes with my klipsch speakers! after taking the chance to clear up my computer desk, there's more space for everything. oops sorry for making you waste some 15 seconds of your life reading the above.

just returned from qiu's birthday at aranda country club. there wasn't as many people as i thought she'd invite. it was as good as a pri6/9 outing since the rest of us were mainly hanging out in our clique. as usual i was the reticent me again. i think it's really unhealthy to be talking more in a lifeless blog. but i guess it's just good to see everyone again. like how i hadn't spoken to fei in like forever till today.

i'm also pretty pleased i managed to move my sedentary butt to the stadium track in the morning for a run. just got informed last week that i have another ippt to clear in slightly more than a week's time. at least there was more motivation with jason going as well. even though i failed the required 2.4km passing mark by 15 seconds. anyway we're gonna run tomorrow again. much as i'm feeling lazy again. cannot, cannot.

on another irrelevant note, i've decided enough is enough. i want to boycott k-box after the unhappiness there today (if in doubt read morris' post). ya lah actually we aren't totally in the right but heck..the service was bad, the song database was bad, the image quality on the tvs were bad. they should not be condoned anymore.

was feeling really stressed at the beginning of last week due to some work-related problems. but my ic didn't screw me like i thought he would. perhaps like what jason lee says of himself, i'm the one giving myself more pressure than anyone does. anyway i'm really beginning to 'mood' already. counting down to the number of working days, excluding all public hols, weekends and the days i start clearing leave. anything to give the illusion of a smaller figure.

and for once one of those aia/prudential agents along the streets managed to talk some sense into me. i realise i really do need a savings plan.
