[wtH] Pushed Back

Burnt out charcoal looks at the holiday schedule .... it drifts away from his grasps and slowly gets encapsulated in limbo.

Ticket Flight: 400 bucks, but shit happens so Hanoi 2 is a no-no already. It's a shitty job scope thing. So the ticket shall be burnt.

May as well replan where to go in Aug instead. That Darwin or Moscow or Ireland thing has a second chance for a review.

[Work] Time Out

It's a hot sweaty Sunday afternoon. Been whacking on the keyboard as usual to catchup on work (weekdays' inhumane hours are still insufficient).

Time for a timeout and look out into the distance .... onto another set of condos! Will make another pot of ocha soon.

[Self] Spurs vs Cavaliers

This was not the season I had hoped for.

It was supposed to be the season of "Suns vs whoever-the heck-it-was-inconsequential-would-have-been-swept-in-4-anyway".

But I'm stuck here without any freakin cable nor do I know of any sports bar that shows games at 8am in the morning so while I'm unhappy over the situation it's not killing me either.

Everything predicted for this season has gone down the drain, but I'd say Spurs in 5. If Finley gets a ring it'll be due to Duncan, Parker and Ginobli; plus Big-Shot-Rob (probably will shoot one of those miracle gut wrenching winning shots again).

Just you wait for Season 07-08! Suns to scorch!

[Self] T + 30Y

After a week, I've still not had time to breathe and somewhat reflect the past 1 week since hitting "Three-O".

The world didn't crumble and burn, and it was strangely a non-event. Plus many thx to some folks who texted / IM-ed me.

How the week was spent:
- Sat: Afternoon taking one of those "chaos" bus trips and ended up in Yishun. In Singapore that's about as lost as you can get I guess. Munched on a Carl's Jr burger first time ever not bad.
- Sun: Sat in an arcade and actually spent money in a sad attempt to relive my youth. Finally played that ROT3 Kingdom by Sega. A few kids taught me how to play it so I ended up slotting SGD 3 games per pop as they swivereled by cards around while I sat there starring and asking questions (I'm still confused these grey cells don't get it anymore). But hell I got a "Guan Yu" card which was kickass.
- Sun: Was used to teman K-Leong to watch Shrek 3. I slept somewhere halfway it was really painful to watch.
- Mon: dinner with Fats (see earlier posting)
- Mon - Fri: Work > Work > Work, getting burnt out.
- Wed: I somehow found a food court in SG that served decent Ban Mee. Yes you heard me right. This is the first Ban Mee I will rate as better than edible!
- Thurs: First full court BBall game since the leg fracture. Lost the game we got trashed 20-8 but it was good.

But all this routine trappings aside, as much I'd like to rationalize away that 30 is just a number, it is still a checkpoint. And sadly there's not been much acccomplished.

And on Thurs as I sadly relied on external stimuli (a small pot of pao sum / ginseng) to get some stuff done, the energy has diminished and faltered. Personal excuses and dismissals of things in the head are getting more abundant, I gotta snap out of this rot.
