My PC is loaded with lots virus and my brother is still trying to fix it. There is so many irritating pop-ups.

Nothing much has been going on these days, I am still working and going home religiously. I got my finance status revised, updated and checked; and has been informed that I am quite healthy in that aspect:)

Yesterday I did a bit of weight lifting and today cycling. So far, I only manage to have slight bicep muscles, actually I do not find them good and big enough, but well muscles need rest and I am a chronic insomiac, haya what to do. I wish I am stronger or is a guy almost all the time, life is always a bitch if you keep thinking of "I wish I were/at/can be", but cannot help it lah. I suspect the biceps muscles are "earned" not through irons but through my aikido lessons leh..haha

Finally, tomorrow will be my 2nd grading!! I am a bit nervous as usual.(Admitedly, I am a lousy aikidoist.) Zenpoet, sleep early, eat more, relax and have fun!

During the last lesson, we all sat down to chat for a while before leaving. Instructor says that he had been playing aikido for about 12 years and he is now in his late 50s. That means he started very late, to get a 2nd Dan in 12 years, that is quite impressive right? I think the one important factor I respect him for is that he is very humble, unlike some instructors (no names will be mentioned) who don't even both to do warm-ups with us or fix the mats, or they simply only wants to be a nage. He mentioned that"shodan" actually means"kindergarten" in Chinese, so we are all aikido babies/infants hehe.

Most importantly, we must all enjoy what we do, I strongly believes that life is unpredictable you will never know when everything ends abruptly. Everyone has got their own comfort zone in various department like relationship, career, spirtuality and hobbies, the key is the "middle way" never go for extreme. I have learned not to only work and have no more life outside it. (Last time I only study, not knowing and not brave enough to try new things) My mum always says that I would be taller if I work out more when I was young since we don't exactly have short genes in the family (not tall but well..)

I mgiht go for a F&E or packaged trip in my April levae, because Hx got to remove her wisdom tooth as its decayed liao. No choice leh, looking forward to the first solo trip of my life ;)

My knees are still hurting, sigh, I have not been running for about a month now. I am cycling more often, but it does not give me adrenaline high. Although I do enjoy the freedom to go long distance and explore different places in my neighbourhood, not to mention the breezing winds blowing in my face! God knows if this is runner's knees or the more serious IBS(Iliotibial band syndrome) or what.

I won a camcorder with tripod during my company day, imagine my luck?! However since it is going to suffer "a white elephant" fate, I have instructed my brother to sell it off online, I will use the money for my well-deserved mp3 player.

M got into company A, its her super ultra ultimate dream job, to be able to combine interest with relevant skills, all the best to her manz! Everyone can see that she is so happy to get this chance!

The half hour "Monster II" in Ch56 is a torture, I wish to know the whole story now!! Its really "tiao4 ren2 wei4 kou4".
