Woot, feels good to be in the bball court after like abt 1 month of not being in contact with my buddy? Juz went down to shoot some hoops. Was kinda surprised that most of the skills that I've left 1 mth ago are still there and my left hand is able to shoot free throws more accurately! Lol, had fun when the left and the right hand are competing in a game of free throws. Haha. The court juz gives me the feeling of peace and helps me to relax my mind.

If only I had the same drive, determination and courage that are with me during the game. Perhaps...

Sad Story from datoufen.blogspot.com

那是一個非常寧靜而美麗的小城﹐有一對非常恩愛的戀人﹐他們每天都去海邊看日出﹐晚上去海邊送夕陽﹐每個見過他們的人都向他們投來羨慕的目光……

  可是有一天﹐在一場車禍中﹐女孩不幸受了重傷﹐她靜靜地躺在醫院的病床上﹐幾天幾夜都沒有醒過來。白天﹐男孩就守在床前不停地呼喚毫無知覺的戀人﹔晚上﹐他就跑到小城的教堂裡向上帝禱告﹐他已經哭乾了眼淚。


  一個月過去了﹐女孩仍然昏睡著﹐而男孩早已憔悴不堪了﹐但他仍苦苦地支撐著。終於有一天﹐上帝被這個痴情的男孩感動了。於是他決定給這個執著的男孩一個例外。上帝問他﹕“你願意用自己的生命作為交換嗎﹖”男孩毫不猶豫地回答﹕“我願意﹗”上帝說﹕“那好吧﹐我可以讓你的戀人很快醒過來﹐但你要答應化作三年的蜻蜓﹐你願意嗎﹖”男孩聽了﹐還是堅定地回答道﹕“我願意﹗”


  天亮了﹐男孩已經變成了一隻漂亮的蜻蜓﹐他告別了上帝便匆匆地飛到了醫院。女孩真的醒了﹐而且她還在跟身旁的一位醫生交談著什麼﹐可惜他聽不到。


  幾天後﹐女孩便康復出院了﹐但是她並不快樂。她四處打聽著男孩的下落﹐但沒有人知道男孩究竟去了哪裡。女孩整天不停地尋找著﹐然而早已化身成蜻蜓的男孩卻無時無刻不圍繞在她身邊﹐只是他不會呼喊﹐不會擁抱﹐他只能默默地承受著她的視而不見。夏天過去了﹐秋天的涼風吹落了樹葉﹐蜻蜓不得不離開這裡。於是他最後一次飛落在女孩的肩上。他想用自己的翅膀撫摸她的臉﹐用細小的嘴來親吻她的額頭﹐然而他弱小的身體還是不足以被她發現。


  轉眼間﹐春天來了﹐蜻蜓迫不及待地飛回來尋找自己的戀人。然而﹐她那熟悉的身影旁站著一個高大而英俊的男人﹐那一剎那﹐蜻蜓幾乎快從半空中墜落下來。人們講起車禍後女孩病得多麼的嚴重﹐描述著那名男醫生有多麼的善良﹑可愛﹐還描述著他們的愛情有多麼的理所當然﹐當然也描述了女孩已經快樂如從前。


  蜻蜓傷心極了﹐在接下來的幾天中﹐他常常會看到那個男人帶著自己的戀人在海邊看日出﹐晚上又在海邊看日落﹐而他自己除了偶爾能停落在她的肩上以外﹐什麼也做不了。
  這一年的夏天特別長﹐蜻蜓每天痛苦地低飛著﹐他已經沒有勇氣接近自己昔日的戀人。她和那男人之間的喃喃細語﹐他和她快樂的笑聲﹐都令他窒息。


  第三年的夏天﹐蜻蜓已不再常常去看望自己的戀人了。她的肩被男醫生輕擁著﹐臉被男醫生輕輕地吻著﹐根本沒有時間去留意一隻傷心的蜻蜓﹐更沒有心情去懷唸過去。


  上帝約定的三年期限很快就要到了。就在最後一天﹐蜻蜓昔日的戀人跟那個男醫生舉行了婚禮。
  蜻蜓悄悄地飛進教堂﹐落在上帝的肩膀上﹐他聽到下面的戀人對上帝發誓說﹕我願意﹗他看著那個男醫生把戒指戴到昔日戀人的手上﹐然後看著他們甜蜜地親吻著。蜻蜓流下了傷心的淚水。


  上帝嘆息著﹕“你後悔了嗎﹖”蜻蜓擦乾了眼淚﹕“沒有﹗”上帝又帶著一絲愉悅說﹕“那麼﹐明天你就可以變回你自己了。”蜻蜓搖了搖頭﹕“就讓我做一輩子蜻蜓吧……”


有些緣份是註定要失去的。愛一個人不一定要擁有﹐但擁有一個人就一定要好好去愛他。你的肩上有蜻蜓嗎﹖

Came back from a light job and some workout after work. Juz wanna relieve the strain on my whole body after the mountain biking trip...
Went to on a hell of a Song Bo Dirt Track Mountain Biking with Marv. Rode all the way from Chestnut Drive there and hollanded here and there before we actually ended everything @ the Bukit Timah. Here's the start point where we went into the nature's trail.


A little picture taking b4 embarking on a hell of a ride. And Marv juz gotta wear those shades to act "Cool" although it didn't really help much. WAHAHA.


Well, here's the 2nd picture taking cum resting point after battling up our 1st major up slope and we saw the familiar....SAF Danger sign board. Gotta be scared man...later there's men in green ambushing in the shrubs... =S


And so we continued...to our first major hollan. Took the route to Marsalling there instead so...gotta turn back b4 we really hit the SAF training ground and get arrested! And when in the Nature Park...obey the rules!


Well, on the way back, decided to turn another way (for the fun of it) and hollan again but it's good..coz we SAW A DEER! And that dead one too. Come to think of it, it's kinda surprising coz there's actually deers around. Well, tt dead piece of crap, which I thought initially was a wild boar, caused me to BUANG and bruise my inner thigh...crap. Ditched our bikes at the side to get some pics of the "cool" sighting.

Well, after tt, no more pictures were taken coz you could have guessed so by then we were juz too SHAG to do anything else but get to the visitor centre. Gotta say tt it's really SUAY coz I BUANG the 2nd TIME when I'm juz about 1 KM away to END POINT! Was going down this really steep and rocky trail when my back wheel suddenly jammed. So I tried to prevent damage to my bike and jammed on the brakes. I swear I was going really slow. The next moment I knew it I'm started to look at the ground while my hind wheels decided that I should do a forward WHILLY. I knew I'm a goner so decided to jump off my bike to minimise damage but...my shorts got trapped in the seat and my "little brother" had to suffer the fate of being caught in the middle...ouch. Ended on the floor, bruised, cut and my little bro tramuatised. Sad. In the end made it to the Visitor Centre alive (and standing if u noe where I mean =P) to wash up my wounds.
Juz as me and Marv tot that Jh's gonna win 2-0 record for buang, Marv decided not to give up so easily and pulled a stunt of his own. While he was attempting to mount a curb, I saw him RAM STRAIGHT INTO IT AND HE FLEW INTO THE GRASS PATCH! I was too bz laughing my pants off that I didn't realise that I juz stopped in the middle of the road but lucky me, there's no traffic. WAHAHA. Marv juz laid there dazed and too tired to move. So we juz rested by the side of the road b4 continuing to the kopitiam there to have our dinner. Luckily, no more mishaps all the way till back home. =D

Quotes of the day from Marv and me:
1. Why take the normal route when you can take a route that has a possiblilty of hollan-ing?
2. Why take the easy way where we have a harder and tougher route?
3. Why take a short cut when you can ride a big loop?
Now you know why we hollan. =D

Smart Answers

A first grade teacher, Ms Brooks was having trouble with one of her students.

The teacher asked, "Harry what is your problem?"

Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the first Grade. My sister is in the third grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third grade too!"

Ms Brooks had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office. While Harry waited in the outer office,the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms Brooks he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first grade and behave. She agreed. Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"

Harry: "9".

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

Harry: "36".

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grade should know.The principal looks at Ms Brooks and tells her, "I think Harry can go to the third grade."

Ms Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions?"

The principal and Harry both agree.

Ms Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?

Harry, after a moment "Legs."

Ms Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

Harry: "Pockets."

Ms Brooks: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"

Harry: "Pants"

Ms Brooks: "What starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?"

Harry: "Coconut"

Ms Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"

The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry was taking charge. Harry: "Bubble gum"

Ms Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?"

The principal's eyes open really wide andbefore he could stop the answer...
Harry: "Shake hands".

Ms Brooks: "Now I will ask some "Who am I" sort of questions, okay?"

Harry: "Yep".

Ms Brooks: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do".

Harry: "Tent"

Ms Brooks: "A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored.The best man always has me first".

The Principal was looking restless and a bit tense.
Harry: "Wedding Ring"

Ms Brooks: "I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good".

Harry: "Nose"

Ms Brooks: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver".

Harry: "Arrow"

Ms Brooks: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?"

Harry: "Fire truck"

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and said to the teacher, "Send Harry to university, I got the last ten questions wrong myself!"

Looks like u all failed =D

Dummy Guide for Jh's Conflicting Personalities Disorder

1. Sociable / Crappy / People's person

The one who's willing to do stupid things (changing the places of 2 dustbins abt 100m away, act clownish in public, words from his mouth that ruin his own image, etc) juz for the fun of it, or juz to bring a smile to a sad face. Sociable animal who practically lives amongst crowds of people coz it's juz fun to talk to people, know new people even though it'll be wiped away from the memory the next instance. Extreme wild emotions - sudden loud laughters, loud funny (but maybe not to the victim) comments, ever changing expressions. infectious happiness. People see him as happy-go-lucky who has no worries in the world.

Associated with: Golden retriever


2. Sentimental / Emotional / Wonders too much

The Heart. A little over-sensitive over others' feelings, comments, thoughts and words. Often read too deep into the words that may lead to unnecessay wondering. Used to fall in love readily when he's young and hotheaded. Unsure of his own feelings now for he doesn't know which one is real and which one is juz a passing feeling. Over-loyal at the matter of the heart that he stay at the same spot where the relationship ended for over 4 years hoping for a miracle to happen where the other party has already moved on. In fact the 2 persons that actually held important places in his heart are all happily attached. Perhaps it's the believe or his own ideals but he's juz holding on to something that's not there. Lost, scared and finds it hard to trust someone else with his heart.

Associated with: Abused little doggie - wanted but afraid to love


3. Distant / Cold / Emotionless

Time moulded the "new" him. Environment taught him not to rely or depend on anyone. Disappointment made him independent. He finds solitude in doing things alone - watching movie, going Kino in Taka, feeling the sea breeze in Pasir Ris park, etc. He likes to keep all the emotions to himself or writes it in a place no one knows. This new "class" of Jh was borned after when the same relationship (one of the major turning pt in his life) ended. He realised that nothing is forever and everything will leave one day. Any form of reliance - emotion, mental or physical, will come to an end somehow and the rehabitation process will be tough. Instead, why not not be an addict in the first place?

Associated with: The lone wolf


4. Unknown

Every game has its secret character. This strange unknown character is a mystery even to the creator himself. The only information about him is that he feeds on the negative energies and waits for the bar to be charge to the max to unleash. He has never been in released state from the start till now and from deduction, it won't be a pretty sight when he appears.
