Tan Abit
On the ground is Giant.
I woke up early yesterday morning. Saw an sms that says - postponed. VERY sleepy still, but i'm up le and 难得 some time to spare. So out i went, with Giant. Jun and i had breakfast at Macpherson. Mine was 虾面不要虾, 干的, 不要辣.. Nice.. Dirty looking soup, tasted marvellous. Then we parted. I went on alone for 2 hours. To Bukit Timah.. Macritchie Reservoir.. Bishan Park, again. Kept hearing thunders, but no sign of rain. Shiok.
Long days..
The real thing..

Morning Study
While i was having an argument with .. in my dream(unusually), and winning it, my bedroom phone rang. With my tired but beautiful eyes still closed, i was searching for the phone, then the ringing stopped. Ooo.. Then hand phone rang..
"Halo, breakfast ah?" when i didn't have to wake up early today but am happy to do so for the breeze..
He says "Go study la. I'm on my way."
"Open le ma? Hmm.. Ok.. Steady!" Then i got out of bed, jump on the spot a few times, towel into the shower.
In 20min, i was down with my guit and a shoe bag filled with materials i need for today.
MY HAIR'S SO MESSY, t-shirt and berms tak match. HAHAHA.
Its OK. At least i got a pair of sunglasses..
I like the the spontaneity.

Free? Day
Didn't actually wanna write anything today. Not in the best mood to do so. But now i'm on this; this is an account of my day 11.3.2009. SO THAT I WILL REMEMBER.
Started off very well in the morning. A meeting in the water with 2 long time buddies - both i haven't really had a proper chat with in a long while. Though physically tired, i had to do this, i truly wanted to. Lunch after that, just 3 people. At a ulu coffee shop, mixed dono-wat rice, but it tasted so good. I think it was the company and fellowship.
The next activity is for me to know and not you. Waste of time, i'm gonna put it aside, put it behind at least for a good period of time. Not illegal stuff la. TAKE NOTE
Then home. Did some quick work.
Some preparations, then off to drum lesson. Smooth.
Sun down, i went to Funan to get something i need, work-related. Walked quite a bit, to you it's considered a lot.
On the way home, in the backseat of the bus, my mind starts to feel really heavy.
What am i doing? Can i make it for..? Can i do it? How to? Sigh.. Questions come one after another................ 烦ed.
Go away, all of you!
Back home, looking through this and that. Think think think think think think.. Seems like a lot. Doesn't help at all. Sigh..
I'll stop here. I'll remember this, but it'll be for a good cause.

What Are You Living For?
YOURSELF? Do you enjoy what you're doing? Or do you not?
Are you doing it for the sake of others?
I like to do works that brings joy to others, to see people around happy, i try to avoid what doesn't bring happiness to them. Sounds saint? Does this mean that i live for others?
NO.
Removing all layers of filters.. Selfishness in evident.
Why the actions? Because i don't want others to be un-pleased with me. I wanna look good. We like to look good. We want others to think well of ourselves.
"If you look honestly at your motivations, you may find them to be for YOU."
So its for myself? I'm selfish.
Last night as i was driving along PIE(with 2 passengers), i came across an elderly man who just fell off his motorcycle. I stopped by the side immediately, and 3 of us got out of the car to see if we could help this man. He had bruises, he was bleeding. His bike was on the ground, documents thrown out of the box all over in a mess. But fortunately, he's fine; he said to me he didn't need an ambulance. Another 2 motorists, 1 with an umbrella as it was raining, also came out to lend a helping hand. We left after the man and his bike stood up properly and his stuff were back in place. I felt comforted, by the 2 other men. After the incident, i asked myself - Why did i offer help to this stranger? I didn't need to impress the other 2 自己人 in the car or the strangers whom i've never met and they do not know me. I can proudly say that it was a sincere act of kindness. Thank God for that.
So what should you be living for?
For love, for the benefit of each other, but not at the expense of neglecting yourself. Cheers.
