Master of wasting time!

I am quite good @ wasting time !!!

I was trying to prepare my
presentation slides. The first thing
is I will switch on the web version
of fm 98.7 -- check Yahoo News
-- Check Le Grove -- Finally
open up my ppt slides --
Back to Youtube -- Watch 1-2
video -- Finally starting
to work on the slides.

I think a pure deskbound job would probably not work
for me. But between doing lab work or
sitting at the desk, I will choose the
latter cuz doing things repeatedly
deskbound is better than
actually doing things
repeatedly hand-on.

Lab work has the 'same' procedures
as doing deskbound work.
Prepare all the items and put
in the basket -- Walk to
the hood -- Swipe all
items with alcohol -- Start
the "fan" in the hood -- Wait for
15 minutes -- Start procedure --
Clear everything from the hood --
Swipe with alcohol again -- Put
everything in the basket --
Work completed.

Anyway, I'm the adventure loving type
so I will move from challenges to
challenges.

That is me, I realise. Tutoring is the
only thing I have been doing
the longest in my life.

I used to think this is because the job
pays well and I am good at it. Recently,

then I realise I actually like
to tutor & mentor. It is
something I have always been
doing even during sec
sch in my CCA.

A week ago, I played soccer with a couple of
frenzs. It was the first time in 10 years
since I last touched the ball.

Soccer is still v fun. But I was too enthusiastic
during the first 15-30 mins. I made 2 and
scored 2 and our team was 5-1 up. Then,
I was just so dead tired and I got this
ridiculous thought "I don't want to
die on the court".

Me: "Can I drop out, I really can't tahan"
Team-mate: Never mind, you play defence.
Me: " Errmm, oki lah"

I started to retreat further and further behind
and it seem to work haha, I was doing my
job and regaining a bit of my
strength.

After that, the cramps lasted for weeks. I donno
what is more unbelievable, me panting like
hell or that I can still score and
assist after so long.

I was actually happy when the rain arrived.
I doubt I can last very long in the court if
the rain didn't come.

The rest were very disappointed. In their
face of disappointment, I really have to
hide my delight, haha. I think they
will laugh at my fitness if I express
relief that the rain arrived.

Anyway, we have enough people to form
more than 1 team. I am happy just to be
in reserve and play maybe 1/3
of the match. If I can score
a goal when I am on
the field, it's quite
good for me
already.

Over the last two weekends I caught
the german films @ the Cathay with
pal KL. This year, we watched a
comedy and a drama. These were
two very good films, I could
give them an 8.


The first was 'Welcome to Germany' which is about
the life of a Turkish Immigrant. It is
a top-notch comedy that is at times
charming and touching. The casting
is also very good and the characters
in the show are so captivating. It is
hard not to fall in love with 'Welcome
to Germany'.


'Nanga Parbat' which is based on a
real-life mountaineering expedition
is also a quality piece of work. The
cinematography and the screenplay
are very good. I think the director
manage to imbue a deep sense of
excitement and poignancy in the
audience.

I have known KL for 12 years ever since
we met in the army. In the army, we
weren't tt close. While in university,
I found tt he attended the film
festival & that was how we
started hanging out.

We are quite different, like day & night.
I can be quite frustrating at times
because I can be quite random
& don't like things to be planned
to the finest details.

When I am in sch my frenzs commented
tt my way of studying is too risky
& they will faint doing things
my way.

There is an exhilaration in spotting questions.
I am quite the confident type, and I seldom
think that I will spot wrongly. My
mantra is "Don't keep thinking
about what if it doesn't come up,
counterproductive heh"

Talking about friendship, I do really miss
my JC pal, Chunkiat. We were really quite
close during JC & army.

I would say tt our friendship is quite special,
something which you cannot easy replicate

with another person.

To me, he is the one who brings the group
together. With him around, there is
always a lot of novelty and
excitement.

I always think about how things might
be different if we have shared more
care and concern for him.

I really treasure the friendship and is
ever regretful for the demise of it.
