bowling

due to busyness with work (and gg out with the gf), i haven't had my weekly bowling session with the dad for a while.

one fine day recently (when i was less busy), i passed by his rm and saw him watching the korean drama dvds my mum had acquired lately, looking like a total couch potato.

'eh dee dun be like mummy nth to do, whole day watch korean drama. go bowling la!" no la, he doesn't watch alot of TV normally, often preferring to spend time on photography/videography/aircraft modelling. more constructive, these. haha.

so we went bowling, both of us haven't played for almost a mth or so. surprisingly, the scores were quite decent, with me getting a 180 average and the dad a 195.

during the last game, i racked up a very respectable 129 score at the midway point and was quite sure i'd break the 200 mark easily, but yet i was under no illusion anytime that i would win the game. i mean, just look below. no chance la!

if one wishes to know me better, i should say, watching me bowl will allow for discovery about my true inner personality. i think it's the one sport that really elicits a range of emotions within me and causes me to display them openly. at least my parents and bro never fail to look amused. hahaha.

i'm thinking of entering a small tournament organised by the local CC on Nov 15. think every one of them allows one the exhilaration of playing under pressure conditions as well as bring out the competitiveness within me. i know i'm nowhere near national team standards but i believe i'm decent enough to not throw face in any competitions. i think. heh.

jumpiness

i realise i'm a v jumpy person. not that i do evil things such that i'm easily startled la (albeit i say alot of evil things), but its one trait i've always had since young. and esp when i'm in deep thought and prolonged focus.

had just bathed after a workout at night, and one ear had earphones plugged into the laptop whilst i did work on it in air-conditioned comfort. was happily belting out 'nothing's gg to change my lurrve for youuuu' when i noticed something in the vicinity. then turned ard to see the bert, hamster in hand.

i positively jumped in my seat, shouting 'wtf hamster!'

ah hell, next time i should just keep my door fully closed or plug music into both ears. now i feel like an emasculated man.

busyness

ok i decided to do a quick post to remind my readers that i'm not out of business yet. actually i figure that when i don't post, it's actually a good thing cos i only like to blog when i'm feeling emo. but hor, the gf will complain if i don't. so here i am.

i've been v busy the past 2 weeks with assignments/presentations/e-learning, hence explaining my disappearance. and oh touching on the topic of busyness, when pple tell me they're busy, i wonder what their busyness entails.

for me, honestly, i'm rarely BUSY - i don't spend every waking minute doing work and have little time even for proper rest, or have to eat on the go. sometimes i feel pple include the time they spend on gg out with friends, having long lunches/chats, msn-ing/talking on the phone randomly, watching tv or indulging in physical gratification as part of their so-called BUSY time.

obviously if you do the above you will have less time for work. and if you still complain that ur workload is oh so heavy, you deserve to be slapped, i feel. heh! seriously, unless you're a perfectionist or a 1st/2nd-upper class hons student, school/NIE/work shouldn't be BUSY all the time la.

that's why i get upset when certain pple dance ard my attempts to ask them out for a meal using that damn word. and i'm quite amused that i actually got subtly rebuffed so many times by a particular person D from hall whom i used to be close to. normally i view most friends as dispensable so it was surprising i kept persisting haha.

ok enough of the whining.
