went bowling today, in spite of my aching body and fingers from the last attempt. but it was great fun..the first time more fun though cos it was with terence. :) it was an ardous journey trudging from home to csc via public transport. (bowlers have every reason to own a car.) and the bus was full of lusty men today. urgh. was glad to get off finally. then it was a horrifying long wait at csc. two stupid idiots, one female and one male, each had their own lanes. like WTH. cant they share one lane? and the thing is the guy stops after each frame to watch how the girl bowls, so isnt it the same as having one lane?! was really frustrated cos i was placed on the waiting list and after struggling so hard to get to csc, there was no way i was going to relent and leave without bowling. while waiting, i saw this richard-gere-mould guy bowling. found out that he was a freelance coach later on when i conversed with him. i'd thought he was a father of this boy who turned out to be his student. anyway, after i pestered the counter staff, i finally got my lane. and it was bowling time! yupp! the first few games were awfully bad...i'd no strength and no momentum. so it was a pretty sluggish start...then the richard-gere-mould-coach who was two lanes away tried to advise me on my bowling by giving hand signals, none of which i understood but i tried anyway. and then the guy next to my lane, who seemed rather reserved for a middle-aged man, suddenly spoke and told me to 'lift' and slow down. then i realised i wasnt lifting. hehe. no wonder my fingers didnt ache today. and it worked! i managed a double. okay la, not amazing, but after so many open frames, it's heartwarming. ya so i continued bowling and bowling and when i got my feel, it was time to go. so i said my goodbyes to the middle-aged men and went to pay. then lo and behold, the system was down. couldnt pay. had to wait. SOMEMORE. wah there's seriously something wrong with this place and its management. no wonder terence was peeved off the last time. so waited and waited. and mum msged to say she'd be late cos she was saving koi. for all the time i waited in total, i could've played another 2 games. FRUS! so that was my day at bowling...full of ups and downs.
2 of my koi died. rest in peace babies. :(
off to taiwan tmr. take care my darl and my dear friends. will be back soon. :)

everyone seems to have gotten their ideal courses.. okay not everyone, but i just feel a tinge of injustice for not having gotten my choice. hmmpf. im more indignant than disappointed. just not used to not getting what i want. ive been too much of a goal-achiever. haha. until the second year in nj. things just went awry. whatever goal i set to achieve, i just fall a mark below. oh well. im waiting for a turnaround of luck. im sure things will get better.
ive failed to go swimming yet again. oh well. its been two weeks since ive went. without a doubt, i am fat-packed-to-the-brim. i am so losing confidence.
yesterday was quite a bad day. i was dragging myself out of bed, dragging my feet to work, and just sitting through the motions. when it was lunchtime, i was beyond relief! my colleague could tell that i'd lost the drive. that is painfully true...im just so so so tired. mentally and physically. good thing there's a break from work next week...when i can truly indulge. eat good food and go shopping. i need it so badly. my boss, whom i always cant help admiring for her capabilities and beauty, got on my nerves yesterday. she keeps changing the rules. but anyway, she's the boss. so whatever she says goes.
im kinda lost. and despondent. and there's freaking work later. i wanna pon. sigh.
