Distractions

Had a pretty busy weekend, and I'm only just settled into my seat to chalk down some thoughts while waiting to be tired enough to fall asleep. As if the notion that I have to be up in less than 4 hrs' time isn't an incentive enough to feel sleepy...

Met Rulin for lunch on fri, and basically caught up with her a bit. Its always amazing how old friends who haven't seen each other for years can carry on a conversation as though it was just last week that they'd met. I mean, in so many ways we've both changed so much. Yet after having known her for almost 10 yrs now, there's a different sense of familiarity that comes back when we catch up. But ah well. At the end of the day, it was a quick lunch cos she had to do some stuff, so we didn't get to talk too much.

Had dinner with Henry and Bernice, again reprising my all too familiar role as the big lightbulb, as we had to discuss our presentation today on Post-Modernity and the role worship plays in the church. I guess I really enjoyed the discussion, and we actually managed to throw out some pretty good thoughts. But I guess good thoughts or not, Berno and Henry are such nice people that you'd enjoy dinner with them on any given day. Grins.

Woke up early on sat morning, went down to the new condo to help spot faults. And man, was it shoddy work. We picked out about 5 MAJOR faults, and over 60 less major but still very evident faults. I think my whole family's pretty pissed with it all. Bloody hell. I mean, they charged a million bucks, but delivered workmanship that HDB outdoes anytime. Not exactly what anyone would call acceptable.

Then rushed down to church to practice for worship, and Renji just HAD to pick all the songs in the oddest keys. And this being the first time I'll be playing solo without the guitar to help me, I swear on top of the horrendous mistakes I made today, my face was green. After the rehearsal, was the first day of the Christian Foundations class. I was taking the mandarin class, and hehz... felt almost sick by then. The whole class was all girls, making me feel even more uncomfortable on top of the language thing. And one girl actually decided to announce that she's always thought I was married - first to the class, then to all 20 something people later over refreshments.

Shit man. I'm not hearing the end of it in cell, nor do I think I'll ever hear the end of it for a while. It sorta spread throughout the rest of the Youth Service oredi. Dammit.

But it does bring me back to the topic again, that I dun mind being married. Hehz... I'm one of those suckers whom if the right girl comes along, I'd be willing to go into the commitment. but then again, when you see me play DotA, you'll realise just how foolhardy and rash I can be sometimes, plunging ahead only to get killed immediately. Grins.

Of course, came sunday where I played for service, followed by a 4 hrs Bible Study at Zhang Mu Shi's, on the Post-Modernity topic. Not to mention what a freakin' hot day it was, and just how tired out I was already feeling. Met Paul later for DotA, and here I am now.

Oh, Diana called, and I realized that this blog of mine, always something I intended to keep very very private, has actually circulated somewhat amongst friends. Shit man. Dunno how it got leaked out. But ah well. Just means I'll have to be more careful when I wanna bitch abt people. Grins. But to all you guys (and gals) reading this, dun indiscriminately start giving this out k? I dun mind SOME people knowing, not that I'd imagine anyone in the first place being interested in it, so just dun do things like link it to your blog publicly for just about everyone to read ya? Grins. Take note, Nut and Ruth.

Man Utd finally won in the premiership, beating Newcastle 2-1.

Lost 3 straight games to Paul tonight tho. He's really turned the tables around since he started out by losing to me everytime. Grins. Shit. Its impossible to balance things out in a one-on-one game sometimes, I guess. Characters you shdn't take cos its too easy to win, game strats you shdn't adopt cos the game just ends in 20 mins... that sorta thing. But its fun just in trying to pit your wits against each other in trying out ways to max out your character to take out the opponent. At least for me, its a distraction from a lotta things on my mind... church, relationships, my studies, jobs I'm still lookin for... that sorta thing. And oh, of course, how screwed up my com is.

There's something seriously wrong with my screen, cos it just has this permanent yellow filter over it, that doesn't go away. So everything I see now is yellow, or somewhat yellow.

Sucks.
