Went to the army dental at 1330h. It was just a check if my teeth are intact. 1min only. Then went to BK for a Mushroom Swiss Tendergrill set.

Planning to run to JJC after 4.30pm for the second week's training ! I'm not hoping to be able to play the piano after that cos the LT5 should've closed.

I'm on leave today ! And I realised, on Friday 31st too !
A big part of early today was used up in preparing the birthday present digitally. I've burned it out and waiting for my sister's effort.

Jogged to JJC at 4 pm. Half dead and breathless when I reached the gates. As usual, everywhere around the track was full of activities. I am glad I completed the 1st week of AA training without giving up. I thank you Lord for that. LT 5 was opened and empty while I was there. But I heard from the door someone was playing the piano already. I finished my workouts and saw a group come out. And the handyman followed them out to lock the doors. Damn ! NO WORRIES ! I can always come back another day.
I was looking from left to right all the time during my workout breaks. I felt that I never left JJC at all. I fancy being back in the school again. The teachers might have quitted, the classmates long gone, but the lonely and warm memories I had of the school were still as fresh as it was inked yesterday.

Mel, click here if you see this post. The next better thing for FFVII fans to relive the game?

If you're wondering what I've been doing in the previous 48 hours, I'm viewing Lost Season 2. It really got alot more exciting toward the last few episodes. Going to Season 3 tomorrow. Also racking my brain how to present a birthday gift to a gal in my sec sch class. I felt if I keep thinking about it, I might just forget about the whole thing. But on the other side of thought, how am I going to live past Nov 10 this year without having her received my present...Heck I'll think of getting the item done first. Whether she'll like/receive it or not is secondary.

Second Day of AA will be on tomorrow's morning. It will be at the fitness corner near Mel's hse. Later at night I'll join Edmund and Steven at Chinatown for a Liverpool-Chelsea showdown. Even though I'm a Reds fan, I don't think my side's gonna win against Chelsea with the current situation of both clubs and the unbeaten Chelsea home venue. A draw would be satisfying.

I did good today. Learned almost up to a page of Eyes on Me. I'm doing it the hard way this time. No alphabets written on it. Just see and play.

Also started on the AA training again. Since I have a 5 day weekend. I can do a week's of AA every other day! I jogged to the Jurong West Stadium and stayed next to the hjump pit. Hey ! The crossbar and stands are inside ! When I'm alot of weeks into the AA, I'll ask for the lock's key to drill some techniques. Didn't see any ppl I know... Got plenty of walkers and runners.

For the couple of days I've been having abdominal pains. It occurs mainly at the stomach area. But it isn't the stomach that's hurting. The pain streaks randomly around that area, sometimes hitting me just below the lowest of the right rib bone.

Mum just handed me a plate of fresh and brightly coloured grapes ! They were soo00O firm and sweet ! Sometimes I dreamt I had a vineyard or apple plantation and walking through it to pick and eat them. Who knows what future brings?



God put the notebook on auto-pilot.
The pages for me flipped freely, and no ink was from Him.
It was all me.
He was merely lending a guiding hand to hold it open.

Wut da hell. why is the last few weeks so damn slow !?!?!? I want to get the hell out of the "fence" !! I tried my hands on the piano just before I blogged. Damn it. my hands were like a ball of meat. With the surging rain and the TV at my back, I wasn't into it at all. I'm on leave tmr AND the day after Deepavali. 5 day weekend is going to make me rot beyond recognition.

The other day, I hopped to Staffan's webpage. He hung his jumping spikes in July alr ! 32 years old. Plenty of memories to last him a lifetime. Been through 2 summer olympic games and countless sporting events around the world. He's like a traveller ! I can travel like that too, either by a bankload of money or super legs.

Every day I go to office I can't escape the word ORD in my face. Then some random people keep asking me what i'm going to do after army. wad uni? wad course? Why dun sign on?? ARghhh!

I'm not sure when i'm going to call Wings Club to register with them.

Banzai ! I started a new game of FFVII on my psp. Seriously uber cartoon. I'll play through these mario-like graphics to find out why it mesmerized some die-hard fans of FF whom I know.

I relinked Lynn. I thought I lost her in the last old blog site she used. And now she's back. She's quite a unique happy-go-lucky girl. When she gets into her fun frenzy you better not get sucked in too much hahahhs. And she's the reason why I gravitate towards God and Christianity. Even though I don't go to CHC after her first invitation, I still hold great respect for God. He always saves me when I'm in "that" trouble. He knows what I'm talking about, because I always thanked Him in after that.

And Yuko-chan !!! How we met...Purely me chasing skirts. Me and Howe Wai was from the same OG in JJC 1st 3 months. So we would meet together every morning at a table, sometimes with Stanley Goon and Jessica and the occasional Lihong and Zhao Qing. Howe Wai was watching a couple of girls, ogling if you prefer. After the initial 3 months the Tanglinians drifted apart further, but we both continued to confide in each other about girl-seeing. Howe Wai really liked a girl, Yuko. Infactuation basically. But somehow I wanted to beat him to knowing Yuko first. I can't remember how I first got contacted with her, by searching in Friendster maybe.
We chatted more and more over MSN. I often see her during CCA days too at the PE block where she'll do her TKD. Amazing how people meet?

I'll be a little greedy now again. Learning Sundial Dreams and Eyes on Me. My ears got kinda bored practising the former one.

I always thought I wanted to play a song each from FFVII to FFX.
FFIX and FFX down. 2 more to go !

I reached home after 8pm today. Call me foolish for working my bones out when i'm going to ORD soon. But I don't want to worry too much in the next morning.

My piano got tuned today ! It's now much sharper in its rich tone. Then most of today I just hogged the computer on my optionsxpress account to test the virtual account to improve my knowledge about trading options.

I have even more exciting scenes captured on Sunday. Watch this same post for updates.

YAY ! Jay's new album, Capricorn-魔杰座 is coming out on October 9, 2008. Listen to 稻香, one of the singles in his new album here. Or here to the youtube video.
I did a check of my Jay Chou albums. I have all songs from the 8 existing albums, 1 EP version and the 8th Dimension Live Concert.I went to The One concert which showed on 11th & 12th January 2003. Still have pictures taken then during the concert. But as for the original album copies, I have only less one copy, that is the Qi Li Xiang. Quite sure it's in my sister's Cheverolet Aveo 5.

About Jay Chou, I would say he filled in a big part of Chinese with R&B music in our world today, especially in Asia. And I've been listening to him since the "mumbling words" days in his second album release. I was only entering Sec 2 then. I asked around my friends in class if they heard about Jay Chou. All they showed me is a shaking head. Then months later the guys and girls started mentioning him. Jay gave me the first and fresh melody in my life. I really want to thank him for releasing albums every single year. (Don't believe? Click here to his Wiki data) It keeps the hype and momentum going healthily for him and his fans. Many thanks to his main songwriter Fang Wen Shan too.
