So another day has passed and my mom is one year older. Before it gets way way too late, happy birthday mom! Its a miserable pity that this son of yours is dead broke this year, therefore there's no present. Hope the half a k Coach purse from last year makes up for a little of this year's disappointment.

So off we went as a family to The Square @ Novotel Clarke Quay for the birthday dinner. Didn't really interact much with the parents, spent time bitching with my brother instead. However the family did have good moments together. I guess that's how we are, reserved, withdrawn. Deep down, I like it.

Met up with Stan for a quick cuppa at Liquids Cafe. Chatted about some stuffs, gossip and cars. Mmm, MINI Cooper S Cabriolet...I like.

Guess there's much to do other than moping around. JPod to read, Apollo Justice to play, recipes to taste. Meeting up with friends and people who matter. Get back to running, swimming and hopefully more board/card gaming. All before I take my leave.

Sometimes I go too fast and when I slow down, nothing is as it seemed.

If the world continues to spin, then I ought to keep up. I've stuttered, stumbled and ambled way too much.

New challenges ahead and boy, are they mammoth ones. Daunting, to say the least but it's now or never. Cliched, but no pain no gain. Got to be brave about it. Also, the money can't sit in the bank forever.

A fresh pocket of air was needed and hopefully now, I've found it.

It was hard but I think I have managed to pick myself up. Perhaps its a little too late to hit the reset button. Sometimes, one has little choice but to power off instead.

Lastly, where and how do I begin?

Is it normal to awake every morning, and the first image that comes to mind is that of the person you disappoint?

It's guilt, regret and sorrow all rowed into one.

you took the skyway while i stayed on beneath it

Is it totally gone for good? Even that basic level of human interaction?

There are just somethings I can't accept.

细数惭愧我伤你几回

Random musings.

The recent G.I Joe movie was quite a letdown in my opinion. The action scenes were cool but that's about all. Cobra lost, that's a major bummer for me. The toys, however, are pretty nice. No prizes for guessing that I only bought Cobra toys. No go for joe.

Exception was made for the hard to find Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit).

Passed my TP with 8 points. It was a tension filled experienced, especially when the tester kept tapping the touchscreen of the laptop. Circuit was cleared with no problems. Got Teck Whye as the test road and it was only towards the end I got a 4 pointer for veering off course because I cut into the lane of a Vios whilst wanting to filter right.

Despite the euphoria of passing the test, crushing waves took over and things definitely won't be looking up for the days ahead.

Whilst driving back from the airport last night, I could only wonder what went wrong.

Let's hope friday's dinsup (dinner+supper) with sy, a&o proves to a spirit booster.

I really do not appreciate that. It's like getting slapped after being kicked down to the ground.
