Enjoying life

How do i define the phrase "enjoying life"

1. Working at a place with sufficient work and at the same time lots of freedom and good pay $$
2. Running late at night with cool breeze and fresh air
3. Reading and chasing mangas/ Bleach anime
4. Waiting for new episodes of Lost/Grey's/Bleach
5. A family always by my side
6. Being there when my dear needs me

And...

6. Being loved by her in return

Right now... I am enjoying my life =)

Carpe Diem

I guess the late nights and hectic schedules are finally taking a toll on me. I slept for a record 12 hours straight on thurs, a feat i can't remember when i last did it; ulcers which indicated i was 'heaty', diahorrea and for today: Fatigue. I'm just too tired to do anything much. It could be that i pushed myself abit too much when i ran the other night. In any case, i'll just recupperate at home.

Good news is.. i've finally embarked on my quest of straightening my teeth. The first small steps to putting the braces on are already set in motion. I'm sure a lot of people will ask why this, why that. I myself am not so certain but i'm sure that it is a step in a direction. And if i chose not to do it, how will it change my life? I'm not so sure, I can't see the future. In any case, it is a path that i chose to take and let's see where that will lead me.

I find that now i have more time to pursue what i really want in life: Swimming, making money, studying, spending time with Debbie etc. Time is on my side and it is up to me how i maximise it and use it to my advantage.

Currently, i plan to start revising on my A level work bit by bit so that when i enter Uni, i hope to have a good head start to kick off my new phase in life. So the point of the day is: To sieze the day and make full use of it as one marches bravely into the future.

Hey everybody!!! erm... anybody? haha. Wonder who else reads this blog besides Debbie and a few others. Upon the encouragement of you all, i've decided to start blogging again. This time, i wish to talk a little more on issues and mainly stick to the usual -whats going on in my life- style of blogging.



Here is an update on my life thus far



FIRST of all, I've gained about 10kg since JC.


"10KG?!! Are you serious?"


Sadly yes. 5 kg in my second year in army and the other 5 after army. hohoho. So.. I've decided to exercise again. My JF regime: Runs twice a week with a few static exercises and don't eat so much in between meals.(My office is a haven for snack food in case you all don't know). So the word for the month is RESOLVE



SECONDLY, I've gone back to swimming, my life saving course rather. After 7 years. Yeap. 7 years! On my way to become a life guard ^_^ Its not for the money but rather a rekindled interest that i lost oh so many years ago. I'll say its one of my life goals.
* Point of interest: This blog got its name cuz i wanted to take up swimming again one day and the day has come!



WORK...? I'm working in Tuas which is very far but at least my dear accompanies me to work on some days which i appreciate it very much(Thanks love!) and giving a P4 EMS tuition at Marsling. See you all on MSN! hahaa


INTERESTS/HOBBIES... Watching Bleach anime and manga, Grey's anatomy and Lost. I've even got myself some Bleach toy figurines and key chains over the holidays!


OTHER RANDOM THINGS that have/are happening/going to happen.... toothache. See denist. Braces? Failed driving test. Driving instructor and tester sux. 2 AJcian colleagues. What a small world. Teaching Desmond guitar. I'm perpetually hungry.... RESOLVE!

I try to be less long-winded as well. So.. till the next time i update. cya all! Keep in touch =D



Phrase of the day: Move into the known and not dwell in the unknown

Features an abstract- floral digital artwork drawn by me in photoshop. This layout is appropriate for all genders. The grandiose design is laid freely on a simple canvas and they complement each other pretty well. The sudden gradient change is applied to create one contrasting element. I created a 3D effect on the vines and they seem to jut out of the yellow canvas. Why the name? The design, as you can see, is abstract and it gives a double-vision feel, therefore, Esophoria, a tendency to squint your eyes inward to create a double vision.
