小小 updates ;)

19 April 2008, Monday

Was having another mahjong session with Edward & Co. at Jolene's home when Sheena reminded me that i haven't blogged for ages.... Basically didn't come online much in recent months and especially for the past 2 weeks cos both my brothers have been vying for the use of my laptop all the time... didn't want to 上演 三國演義 at home la~!!! Hehee :p

Hmmm, start from 03 May bah. Tat day, went to East coast with NPS fellas for skating/cycling... Sio is back!!! ;) Sounds good huh... probably should organise a bbq soon, hehe.

04 May - Mahjonging again, at Sheena's home. Just Jianqi Peiyu Sheena and me, played till about 7pm, then cheong-ed home to watch soccer.

05 May to 09 May after work - practised guitar lots lots!! ktv on wednesday with my colleague-friends, and mahjong on thurs.

10 May - Mahjong with Ed Jol and Jianqi @ Jol's home... Last min arrangement!!! Hahaa~ Changed a dripping tap in my bathroom to a new one... Took me just about all of 10 or 15mins to gather the tools required and finish the job, and to think mum almost wanted to employ someone to do it!! It not only pays to have a lame son for a few occasional laughs... but also a handyman one~~ My mum is lucky!! I'm both!!!! Wahahaa~~~ :p

11 May - stayed home and started reading one of my old chinese novels again... Watch soccer at night... very last of the season's English Premier League matches!!

12 May to 16 May - On noon shift duty in base everyday from 3pm to 12midnight/when airfield closes... still managed to go for skating on thurs night with my colleague friends cos was released from duty early!!! Had an adhoc-ed dinner cum supper with Wanling on Friday too, hahaa :) Always enjoy having nice little chats with my close friends! I've stopped practising guitar though... Wah lau~

17 May - Tried to organise another adhoc mahjong session but failed... played abit of soccer instead

18 May - Mahjong at Jol's home with Ed Jol Jianqi Peiyu Sheena and later J.Poh... Played till midnight then went for a little run + chin ups + sit ups + push ups... Got a couple giggling at me at the fitness corner!! Wah lau!!! Then washed up and went to bed... Slept like a pig after tat!!! ;)

19 May - Today!!! Feels like a Sunday man... Originally wanted to go East coast for some light skating and sun-tanning but woke up quite late so decided to finish reading my chinese novel instead... So went downstairs for sun-tan while reading it... 1 stone 2 birds~ i'm slightly darker now!! YAY!!! :)


Anyway, i happened to come across this story just now, think it's a rather good one... Read!! :)

A Lesson on Bad Temper

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.

When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out, it won't matter how many times you say 'I'm sorry,' the wound is still there.

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Contented :)

02 May 2008, Friday

Feeling very contented now!! Haven't felt so contented for ages le!! Hahaa

Yesterday, invited Kuang, Wanling, and 2 of my colleague friends Alvin & Jimmy to my home for mahjong. Was supposed to start at 11am but Jimmy reached a little earlier than 10am, so we went to dabao brunch to my home to satisfy our stomachs before the game. I had yummy roti pratas and tou huay and tou huay zhui!! :) Jimmy was commenting happily about having a big "cai tao"(wanling) to "tok"... But end up... ... ... Wanling won a total of $50 from us at the end of the day la!!!!!!!!!! Wahahaaa~~~ Clown la this Jimmy!!!! :p

Basically was a typical fun mahjong day for me, but with an extra whiff of warmth than usual cos Mum was sooooo happy to have Wanling visiting us. Hahaa aiyooo~ but can't blame her la, she has absolutely adored Wanling since day 1!! Yours monkeyly me myself earned some cold hard stares from mum *shing!! Shing!!!* when Wanling (who insisted on doing the dishes despite mum protesting and trying to coax & drag her away from the wash basin) was doing the dishes after our meals... Hey!! You're not supposed to do the dishes!! Hahaa :p But thanks for being so nice :)

Feels great to have my best friends visiting, especially Kuang and Wanling, cos mum's always particularly warm & nice to them!!! Drop by more often u 2!!!!! Hehee :)

Today at work, was also an enjoyable day. Can't really remember the details... Only remember we all laughing throughout the day for some small little silly funny things here and there la. After 2 days such as yesterday and today, and tmr being saturday (Planned!!! Skating at East Coast!! And Mahjong on Sunday!!!!), who can blame me for feeling so happy and contented now lei???? Hahaa :)

BUT!!! From experiences, big "storms" normally awaits after having this kind of contented feeling... So better not wallow myself in this happy feeling...... Ya? ;)

End here for today~
