Driving to work this morning, I was reminded of my first day of school in Year 2. I was 7 and I was walking up the kerb to school. And I fell down, but I did not look back at my mother in the car and just walked on. It was so funny and just a portent of the pride in the boy that was to come.

It is half way to the end of the month. And at the end of this month, it will be halfway through the year. Feels like I have not accomplished much yet, though some people tell me otherwise. Hopefully it means that I actually seem more matured and/or smarter since last time. Time can seem to fly sometimes and yet it can crawl as well. It is extremely strange. And yet, noone will be able to change or influence the way it works. There is a movie coming out soon with Adam Sandler I think called 'Remote' or 'Click' about a guy who has a remote which can stop/rewind/forward life. It is actually a remake as I have seen a movie regarding the same thing when I was about six years old. And since then, of course I have always dreamt about finding this remote. Just think of how USEFUL it could be !??

After I passed my ITSA, I have not really rewarded myself yet. And yet it has always been like that. I cannot think of any rewards that I have procured from passing exams or scoring high in them as well. Sometimes I feel that the feeling of accomplishment is reward enough and indeed it is. But when I hear of some snotty-nosed kid getting a new handphone for getting a B+, I just feel angry. Haha. Not that angry. And after sitting for my CSA, celebration = dinner at KFC. So as you can see, I feel just a little reward-deprived. Although recognition is always good, and I felt it, FELT IT, when SailorJeow told me she overheard MsMoh telling other people that I passed my ITSA in one go. Ah, bliss of recognition. Still, I feel I deserve something more, but maybe I will wait until my CSA results come out.

JinBear is dreading the Central Australia trip. I can understand, I was seriously dreading it too. However, JinBear should not be so worried. I had great fun and I am sure that she will too. Although it has been 3 years since my trip, I understand that it will be exactly the same as when I went, except the price of course. I had a marvellous time, since there were 16 of us that went from IH that time. This time, I feel that it would be great fun as well since so many people from IH are going as well, like CKBear, KaiBear, the Trojans and lots more. So JinBear, I am sure that you will have a great time. Hehe, meanwhile remember what I told you. (I told her that if she wanted, I would go on the trip for her instead, so she can come back to KL while I go to Melbourne to take the trip as a surprise ! On the condition of course that she lets me go for free......hahah. Well think about it, the flight will cost me 3 thousand. The trip another 3 thousand at least. I would be bankrupt.) But I UNDERSTAND, JinBear that you cannot do that. So sad......... :(

Went out with the whole bunch plus more, (it seems like the office circle of friends is growing....) for seafood at Kampung Pandan yesterday night. Wow, deliciously yummy and filling as well as cheap as well. Definitely worth going again. In addition, the fried mushrooms with seafood was darn good !! Yum Yum Yum. Yum. Yum. There, it is worth every Yum. After this weekend, I shall be occupied every weekend until the 15th of July. There are weddings, and big 70 birthdays and Father's Day and my almost birthday and confirmation day and holidays and weekdays ..the list goes on... Sigh so busy, not a minute for myself. How to study ??

Hehe. Exhausted but happy. Sort of. Glad that England will be going to the last 16 in the World Cup. But my stupid fantasy team refreshed itself and so I did not get any points for that game. I have lost about 30 points !?!?! and could have been in front of DamBear. What to do ? Silly me for thinking that I could have had enough time to keep up and play during this time anyway.

Donating blood today. Or rather, I signed up for it. Am checking to see if I am able to eat lunch before donating at 2 pm. I wonder what blood type am I ? Once I know, count on me to check up on all the blood type charts to see what type of person I am and then laugh. Can you imagine that only five people out of 120 on my floor have signed up ? Sigh, people should all donate blood.... ! Hm, wondering if I should eat a big breakfast so that I fast during lunch..... Choices..choices...

Tonight's plan - Petaling Street or Karaoke. Will decide later.

PS, it is only 8 am. What am I doing at the office ?
