Thursday...

Prior to this post, i had just sinfully indulged in half a packet of Cheese Ruffles and some Chocolate Mcvities Cookies.....simply delicious! but calories-wise...hahaz, not dat good....nvm lah, i work out quite often nowadays aniwaiz.....
Watching one's favourite TV drama while munching on some nice snacks is a great enjoyment...especially when it takes one's mind away from work for awhile...
Sometime back, i thot of some ways to cut down on late nite snacking or supper....lemme recall....

  1. Brush teeth earlier, say 10pm, to prevent late snacking...
  2. Drink lotz of plain water if u feel like snacking...
  3. Keep the snacks in an inconspicuous location so that it is out of sight....hee...
  4. Munch on an apple if u reali reali can't control the urge....
  5. Harness ur willpower strength by focusing on some tough problem, sth like solving a non-linear, 5th order differential equation (dat's lame crap =p)....
  6. BUT if all of the above fail, heck lah...juz snack.....dat's wat happens to me most of the time...hahahaz....

okie, dat's crap...well....aniwaiz....todae had been a long dae....

My performance was lousy todae...missed goal scoring chances during the friendly, didn't pass well, miscommunication with my teammates for the friendly....it juz sucked....
Somehow, by the skin of the teeth, i was still selected for the team....so I'll be representing Engineering this Sat and Sun for the competition.....
Well, nuttin to shout about....it was so obvious that I was the last choice...onli like 11-12 ppl i tink, and they could onli choose 8 for the team, yah...and my name was the LAST to be called out....
Sighz, and i still feel half-hearted abt it....I mean, i'm definitely going to play for Engin, but half-hearted in the sense that I have a whole load of work on my mind....EE2001 is reali terrible...i've been on it for the whole week, fast becoming a regular at the Linear Electronics Lab oredi...

Anyhow, i'll juz do my best on Sat and Sun....Since i've been selected, i reali wanna get a Gold medal lor...kauz....sportsmanship and all dat of cos lah....but I wanna win as well....

During the opponent's last offence todae....their last charge and my team's last defence, I was knocked over by this school team player....and I failed to regain my balance...the impact of his canoe against my side was too great....and i capsized.....I managed to somehow flip over, but the momentum was too great....and so guess wat? I capsized again....this time from the left.....it was damn funny to the rest i tink....cos i originally capsized from the right side, managed to roll back up and immediately went down again on the left....
Honestly, i was caught by shock on the second capsize....and didn't reali manage to breathe in first....and while underwater, i actually panicked a little cos i had not much air left....fortunately, the person who knocked me over came to my rescue....i tink he was scared when he saw my flailing arms too....hahaz....well, all's well that ends well, when i came up, he was grinning cheekily and said sorry.....hahaz, but it's not his fault lah...tis game is quite physical, i so small size....of cos abit lose out....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally had some progress in our project..... =) lotz more to be done though...

What is the tough part of being a contented, satisfied person??
I'm not exactly sure....but i'm sure i'm not alone.....Recently, had been spending alot of time with Changsheng...and consequently Fiona....so I see them both almost every dae....and I feel envious of them...
I told Changsheng abt it.....I recalled that when i was in my previous r/s, i sometimes would envy single frens....for they seem to have all the freedom in the world, so carefree, free to do anything they wanted....and back den, i felt more tied down....
Now, coming to 5months on being on the other side of the coast, i'm starting to envy those who are on the side i used to belong to.....well, tis is a sentiment shared by some of my single guy frens...hahaz, so i guess i'm absolutely normal =)
I guess I juz will never learn, but i wanna learn to be more contented....even if it's a slow process, i don't mind....other than this, pertaining to other stuff, i sometimes find it hard to be contented as well.....

Anyhow, i sincerely told Changsheng to cherish Fiona and I oso told Fiona before not to take Changsheng for granted....As a lecturer once told us, one should learn from other ppl's mistakes, cos it is much more expensive to learn from one's own mistakes...
Don't want them to follow in the footsteps of those who have erred....
So, i hope to attend their wedding in a few yrs time =) i'll give a big red packet den.....

time to sleep soon.....Yishun BK tmr probably? nitez...

sOmeTiMes, it is nOt eAsY to be cOnteNteD....i'M stiLL leArNinG.... =)
