It's Earth Day yesterday.

Where better to celebrate than at Wala Wala. With school mates cum colleagues, the company is great. Lovely band, great food and drinks.

Kop from aska's blog:



Weekend has come and is ending soon.

So sad.

It is a dark Friday afternoon. About to rain soon.

My off day today, so I am pretty happy and I will be seeing butterfly soon.

Butterfly is someone special to me and I will not tell you who she is even if you beg me. It is a codename. Not that I do not want to reveal her identity, but this is a public blog so I will keep certain things undercover.

At the age of 25++, I think I am still young. But not that young too. This is the time for guys to think about the next lap in Life.

Career, marriage, finance, house, car etc. Not that everything applies to me, but it is the time to start thinking about them. Sometime it is quite scary just thinking. I mean the amount of responsibilities and the impact it will have on your whole life is tremendous. It is like asking Neo to choose between the red or blue pill. (Did I get the colour right? Whatever.)

I am just saying it is a important choice which needs a lot of thinking.

My parents were asking me the other day where I want to buy my own flat. Seriously I am quite happy staying at their house and have no intention to buy a new one yet. Everything is being taken care of here and why would I want to move out?

Of course I get their intention, but really it is still too early.

Everytime I looked at my bank account, I sighed. Why can't it be like my Warbook account? Oh ya, I re-played my old character, hoping to make it to level 50. Set that as my goal.

And I am such an immature brat. Wait till I grow up.

Tata.

I didn't realise how light it was until I hold it in my hands today.

I think I must have been playing too much tennis. The thicker grip and the heavier racket head has already make me accustomed to that kind of weight and feel.

When I hold my badminton racket today, it just feels weird.

I think it is time to hit to the court. Small one I mean.

The weather is very weird recently. Sometimes it rains heavily in the afternoon, and some other days it is just madness hot, like today.

Coupled by the fact that I played MJ till early in the morning, I practically sleep the whole day. The only consolation is that I am slightly richer after the MJ session.

Jolyn was telling me about enjoyment of life the other day. People worked so hard and saved so much. But do we even enjoy our life? The definition varies across the different walk of life. People talked about work life balance nowadays. 5 work-days is almost a norm now. Work hard play hard.

It is hard to list down what I mean by enjoying life, quantify it, comes up with a certain set of criteria. Just don't torture yourself, do things which you want to do, buy things which you have been aiming for (a long time), go travelling, eat good food etc. Speaking of good food, I think it is time to visit some of the places I haven been wanting to go to.

For me: tennis, gym, salsa, mj (occasionally), meeting up with friends and J probably sums up my leisure life now.

For now.

Just saw this movie yesterday. No prize for guessing who I watched with.

Anyway, I feel that the show was kind of sad, although not particularly my type of movies, but it did provoke some thinking on my part, my life as a whole.

It is definitely not easy to own a pet. Taking care of it is already one big challenge. And you might have to deal with its departure as in the movie, the kind of emotional attachment and detachment one has to undergo is just too much to handle.

And then today I went for my friend Edward and Angel's wedding. Really nice to see them finally tying the knot after so many years, since the army days? Wow.. really a very long duration.

Finally I concluded that I am getting into my next stage of life. So fast? Not quite ready to be honest. Taking up these responsibilities isn't an easy task. I still feel so ignorant of so many things. So I tell myself, if I am to move on to the next stage in life, I will be properly prepared before I do so.

Lastly, to the couple: May bliss and happiness stay with you always.
