Just in case

Just in case anyone thought I've closed down my blog...

I haven't.

Very tired these days... late nights and all, but life is becoming more meaningful and purposeful for me.

And one day of leave ought to give me the rest I need.

As life gets more colourful, I realise it also gets harder to keep track of what's happened to me throughout the day. Where was I last... Wednesday?

I'm amazed now that I actually had time to blog everyday in my JC days. Or maybe it's because I was a no-life then, haha.

Yes I got my CPL rank!

Yichuan was recently talking about this personality analysis model called the Enneagram, which divides different people into 9 basic categories. Apparently I'm the 9th type who gives in a lot to the demands and needs of others, haha. Books on the Enneagram will tend to advice Nines to assert themselves more, to tell themselves that their presence and opinion do matter.

I've been trying to do that... and managed to see the results occasionally!



Went for a cycling trip to Ubin with the HO seniors some time ago. The rented bikes were actually quite good, so the hill climb was (close to) a breeze.



Kelly's going into drumming! And performing on stage!

Goodness... performing in a concert (albeit a charity concert) with only a few month's experience in one's instrument takes quite some courage! Originaly I planned to go for the concert, but due to unforseen circumstances...

I volunteered to play the bass for them.

Phew... simple as the song was (Desperado by Eagles), it was quite an experience man!

Seniors from HO and, surprisingly, Jingjing, came to support us!



After watching Order of the Phoenix, I guess I was quite satisfied with the film.

The reason why I couldn't get over the previous Goblet movie's brevity was probably because, having been reading the book cover to cover about 5 times over, the more memorable parts were already imprinted in my mind in quite detailed fashion. Hence, good as the movie itself was, I couldn't bear to see those parts cut off.

In contrast, Phoenix (talking about the books here) was a more mature and dark story, without the glamour of the Triwizard tournament, and there's less humour in Phoenix than Goblet (or was it just me?). Also, cover to cover, I've only read Phoenix once. Hence as a fan, I was able to enjoy the movie without thinking too much of the book while watching it.

By the way, Luna's hawter than Hermione haha.
