I went swimming today morning. The last time I tried, it was before my exams started. So today was a little tiring, back breaking, and muscle aching. I swear, I was sure my muscles had atrophied. Anyway, I timed myself for a lap and was surprised that I still had the same time as I did many years back: 48 seconds. As many swimmers will know, thats pretty slow.
After that, I got a call that Granddad got admitted back into hospital today. =( He was running a slight fever that eventually broke, but the doctor said to keep him there as he had a low white blood cell count. So he's going to be there until his count returns to normal. So after a hurried lunch with Leo, KJ and Cliff, I left them with their Sins
(of the Solar Empire) and went down to SGH. In the bus, well, I kinda dozed off. The two weeks of exams and the morning's swimming had worn me out. And no surprise, I missed Outram bus stop, woke up right after the bus moved off. And I found myself in Chinatown.
Ah, Chinatown. Looking about, I sat in the bus till I saw Chinatown MRT station, which I then took back to Outram, then walked to Ward 48. Far. And I found out that my aunty (dad's sister) had bought a wheelchair(she kept referring to it as a 'transporter') for my Grandfather. Of course, we didn't let him know, or he'll freak out. You wouldn't like being reminded you're weak right?
That aside, I found my Granddad pretty well, just slightly discomforted that he had to spend the night in the hospital with no confirmed discharge date. I insisted in staying there till the night, but he refused, asking my aunty to take me home. I can't say no to him.
So here I am, blogging because well, I don't really have much to do. Chatting on MSN with my dear friend(s) does help pass the time. Thanks. =)
Its the holidays.
And I find myself with quite some time on my hands. Unfortunately, that means that I'll have time. Time to look about, time to think about friends who you want to be more than friends, time to laze around, time to decide. I don't want to. I want to enjoy life as it is, one job, work, one after another, no stopping to think. Spontaneous decisions. I don't want to pause, to look behind actions and words, to seek out meanings that are not there. But somehow I can't. Its natural to be curious. Its how I am. But I try my best not to.
Change...

When you're dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part.
You roll outta bed and down on your knees, and for the moment, you can hardly breathe
Was she really there? Standing next to me?
And you look around, bleary eyed.
No she's not.

Just finished my 1st exam paper and I have 3 more to go. But that's not the reason of this post. I've been usin by free time lately thinking and exploring options of using my time I'm going to have in my upcoming holidays. One thing that I've hit on is, of course, blogging. Blogging to attract a small base of readers for my blog. It'll be a challenge that I can take up over the upcoming holidays. I've making up a list of what to do. Of course, finding a suitable host is one of my biggest challenges. If you have any to recommend, please leave some comments below. Thanks!

Exams are in a few days time, and only now I'm starting trying to study. Pathetic isn't it? Anyway, I've made a few changes to my blog:
1) twitter updates - these are micro-blog posts, taken from twitter, real time. simply put, these are quick, frequent answers to one simple question: what am i doing? sign up at
twitter.com !
2) music from blip.fm - my own playlist press play to listen to full songs, most of them stream pretty fast. i removed last.fm because it doesn't allow you full control over songs eg pause, rewind, etc. sign up at
blip.fm !
3) blog. i've added links for easier browsing through my archives. blog titles are also clickable for links. i think i'm going to be blogging on more subjects other than me...mainly because i'm pretty bored, and i'm boring, but still, i think it'll help my english skills that are slowly rapidly deteriorating in polytechnic.
thats all for now, i best concentrate on my exams. good luck all.

I haven't been posting lately, well, because there's not really much to blog about. It's just very cold. They huddle together, close to the fire. And me? I'm just wandering out in cold.
