Ello! I'm back! Hao jiu bu jian! Ale wad oni! ahah... ok 5 days never blog already... sh!t man! Time flies like nobody's business hor? Anyway, it's like quite late already, but I've got inspiration to sleep yet. I guess not till I'm done blogging yeah? Ok, reviewing the week...

I seriously don't recall what I did on Monday! Did I even go out of the house? I don't remember, so I doubt so. I think I slacked at home? *Sighz* Old already and my memory is getting worse! Next Day!

Tuesday was a disappinting day la... Alex, Dennis, Jeremiah, Weixuan and I went for this job interview/briefing. My aunty actually introduce the job to me and told me that they needed more people. The more the merrier in fact. Anyway, we went there early like 9am plus and filled in the forms, which we took about half an hour. Then, we waited for the lady to interview us and she took half an hour to come. She wanted to interview us 1 by 1, so Weixuan went in first. He came out after about 10 minutes and the lady told us all that they were not looking for people that can only work for a month, etc. etc. I'm too lazy to explain and too fucked up to talk about it. It's all bullcrap to me la. The paper my aunty showed me was one thing and apparently everything she said was ~!@#$%^&*... EVS. So after waking up early in the morning just to go down all the way, we ended up with nothing at all. I felt disappointed/played out and guilty for giving all my friends false hope. Fuck it. After that, we went to Holland Village for breakfast/lunch. Then we went over to Alex house to play mahjong till about evening time. Everyone seemed drained and I didn't realise how tired I was till I got home. I slept at 9pm plus that day and that was like the first time I slept so early since like Primary school man, but it was quite shiok la actually...

On Wednesday, I didn't do much also. I went with Dennis and Jeremiah to jog at Gombak stadium in the evening around 6pm. Although I'm still unfit, but at least I improved from 21 minutes to 18 minutes for my 2.4km! Yeah, it's horrible, but still I'm happy that at least I'm making progress... "Slowly, but surely". I remember my secondary 3 maths teacher used to say that.

As for Thursday, I went to run with Dennis, Jeremiah and Weixuan in the morning around 11:45am. My timing was 19 minutes and I set my target at 18 minutes, but I'm still satisfied with myself! The sun really consumed my energy man and it's really different running in the sun and running in the evening. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to train regularly from now onwards yeah! =] We went for lunch at Alif after that and I saw 2 of my Primary school friends. Well, they've changed! Both of them grew taller by a damn lot and smoke too. One of them even has a bike too. Well, I didn't really talk to them much because there isn't much left to talk about. I'm not very close with my Primary school friends except for 2? L0L! I went home after that to take a shower before leaving the house to go Vivo City for the first time! L0L! Ok, seriously, there isn't much to shop and not much to do either. Their shops are the high end kind, so if you're feeling rich then by all means go there la. I met up with Kumar first before Malbindar and Justin came. We walked around and took the tram ride to Sentosa and back... wasted $3 >.< Anyways, I managed to buy a t-shirt! Hongyue and Serene came around 7pm plus. We went for dinner at Hogs Breath and the bill was close to $180! Power sioh... L0L! The food was alright I suppose? It wasn't fantastic though. That wasn't the purpose actually. It's hard for the 6 of us to actually meet up and catch, so to be able to do that was good enough. Yeah, I had a good time too! =]

There was something wrong with their cashiering machine, so they took a real long time to get it fixed. I think we left close to 11pm. Malbindar, Hongyue, Serene and I shared a cab home because we were all living in the West. The taxi driver was really nice and it is rare to meet such a taxi driver, in fact it is rare to meet such a person too. I don't think I'll ever meet such a taxi driver ever again. You can tell if someone is sincere and genuine by the way he/she talks and I could tell that he was really sincere. Like after everyone left, the driver and I talked more. I discovered that he's a Christian and he's been to CHC before! Also, he told me he fetched us instead of turning into the taxi stand because of God's will. I kind of felt like it was God's will to meet him too. He also said he could tell if someone is attached just by the way he/she acts or talks. So I asked if he thought that I was attached and he said yes. L0L! I told him he was wrong and I was single. He told me not to worry because I will definitely get in a relationship. He said he could tell just by the way I speak. He told me my voice was "ruo" in chinese. I think it means something like gentle? polite? Yeah, he said I'm a generous person too because I treated my friends for the cab ride. He told me that being generous/nice can be good and bad. Being too generous/nice can cause my downfall because people will make use of me and take advantage of me. He told me to always remember whatever he said next, which was... "Never allow others to take advantage or make use of you. Stand up for yourself." I don't how anyone else will feel la, but I felt really touched. I mean for someone that you do not even know to tell you these kind of stuff and give you advice sincerely from the heart, it's really touching la. I'll probably won't be able to put it in words how I felt at that point, but it was a nice feeling. I reached home and thought about what he said and I felt really emotional. I started tearing because I knew what it was like to be made use of and taken advantage of and threw aside after that. Perhaps I was naive and a fool, but I've learnt and I made a promise to myself that it won't happen again. "Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful". Yes and I've been very grateful and I will always be. You guys know who you are! =] Ok, getting emotional again... Cannot, must learn to control my emotions. I don't think it was a coincidence that I met this taxi driver either.

Alright, refering to the title... do you guys still remember one of my New Year Resolution?

9. Commitment - To do whatever I said I will do and not walk away from it or try to avoid it. I feel that it is only right for me to do the things I agree to do and not go back on my words. For 2007, I would like to do everything that I agree to do or help out in.

I felt like I've achieved it so far. I mean so far I've kept all my promises and stuff. When I say I'll meet someone, I did so far! I committed to exercise too! Last time, I would cancel some appointments if I was tired or if I just didn't feel like going. However, things have changed this year for the better! When I give you my word, I commit to it even if I'm tired or don't have the mood or whatever excuse I could think of previously! Yeah, I not only want this to last throughout the year, I want it to stay with me from now onwards. Also, usually I'm late whenever I meet people and I'm not saying I'm not anymore. However, I realise that I'm slowly improving and I will like to be early from now on too! Yup, so help me out with that yeah? I'm more committed to my family and friends too! Well, I think I'm getting better, but all these takes time right? Rome wasn't build in a day remember? =X So if for some reason, I pissed anyone of or say something bad or do something wrong, please do let me know. Sometimes I tend to say stuff that aren't really nice and not even know about it. So tell me if I offend anyone or anything yeah? Anyway, I'm stopping here for today because it is 3am already and I need to get some rest as I'm meeting Alex, Jeremiah and Weixuan in 12 hours time at Orchard! L0L! Alright, take care everyone! =]
