Ay ay ! Finished serving the country today. Damned it did everyone who ord on the same day went off earlier than me? I'm destined for working extra hard...

It felt great giving her the present on Friday evening of Nov 7. A sense of accomplishment for a man much more than donating blood (which i did a week ago
).
A month ago I had asked her when was her birthday. Vaguely but truly, it was Nov 10. That evening was humid and warm as I waited for her at the control station in Clementi. She was late but it didn't matter to me at all. I was more than willing to wait, because in return I met a stunning picture-perfect girl who would look ordinary from far. No more glasses, and no more braces which was a huge surprise for me. We talked a little before I laid the item of the day on her hands.

The whole "present" thing was a roller coaster ride of feelings. First I decided to make a present. A swamp of setbacks but I had time on my side. Then next was how to get her to meet me. Over a meal or just meet together. Last was what do I say to her when I finally see her? I haven't seen her for 3 years. I guessed I turned out really okay in the end.

Like how Edmund puts it, "Way to go man !"

Today was the end of AA week 2.
Nothing worth mentioning except that I wore a pair of racers to train. My Mizuno Aero Wave is not at home ! And, during the first week my thighs and hips would leave a burning sensation. But this week I felt normal.
I jumped for the basketball rim and i'm short 5-7cm. It is the closest I've ever got to it. I'm well on my way to grabbing it.

Haha look at 2:16 of the clip where the Ferrari garage finally got the twist of the news.
I'm going to try that on Edmund in office on Monday. Going to hug him deep deep and cheer. Then I'll stop abruptly and say, "Huh Massa not world champion?"
We are so going to laugh our asses off...

Lewis Hamilton - The youngest driver to win the F1 championship on 2 Nov 2008 at age of 23 and 300 days. I think I can wear my Mclaren Lewis Hamilton cap around more often now. I don't agree with the media's grunts that Lewis is all arrogant. There is just a pinch more of extra determination and burning desire in him as a young and ambitious driver. Others perceive him the negative way but I like him that way. Let them say whatever they want, the all-time favourite Ferrari drivers didn't win. That's it. I am definitely going back to the local Gran Prix again in '09. But it's hard to decide which grandstand.

F1 Trivia:
Lewis Hamilton set himself on a path to Formula One when he introduced himself to McLaren team boss Ron Dennis at the 1995 Autosport Awards. The nine year-old from Tewin, Hertfordshire, walked up to Dennis, asked for his autograph and then said: “Hi. I’m Lewis Hamilton. I won the British Championship and one day I want to be racing your cars.” He was only 10 years old back then.

Do what you loved as a kid.

I may want to learn macromedia or java after I ORD to create some images representative of my luv for jumping !

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.
