"Mitch," he said, "the culture doesn't encourage yout ot think abt such things until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks- we're involved in the trillions of little acts jus to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?" He paused. "you need someone to probe you in that direction. It won't jus happen automatically" I knew what he was saying. we all need teachers in out lives... and so we, or i at least, went about my daily chores, like a mere mortal amongst 15billion people living off this planet. went to BBDC this morning to hv my driving theory lessons, heard some people said that final theory is hard, but when trying the paper, the questions were like super logical or super "typical" lor... eg. when a motorcyclist is trying to overtake you on the left, you should_______ a) slow down if necessary n allow him to pass b) accelerate and dun allow him to overtake c) ignore and drive on k... here's the situation, in real life, many drivers would take the (C) course of action, and some might even give that motorcyclist the dirty stare, as if he's jus been to geylang kinda thing. (irrelevant, but wadever...) and yet, the "safety and be courteous" attitude in BBDC automatically tells you its (A) lor...should hv no probs on monday, when i'll be taking the theory evaluation, before booking for my final theory test :) went back home and proceeded to slack for 2 hours after the theory practise in BBDC, went for a 5km jog in the evening, managed to only clock 26.5mins, need to improve man, that time is really way off... oh wells, its been 3 weeks since i've even done any exercise. its a start nonetheless =P shall go do my laps tml, amybe i'll try 40 at last... went out for work at 8pm today, did jus my teck whye area, nothing much left, jus 6 houses left, and today finished abt 3 houses, so that leaves anothe 3 less on my list. haha work's still getting on fine. haven't gotten that "i wanna quit" feeling first thing in the morning yet. lets work on n see how it goes lah ya? takled to my tuition kid, ehh... i mean tuitee, not kid, haha. hmmm not sure man, really need to push her hard, but also dun wan to let her get sian of listening to my nagging, how~?!? its jus abt 1 wk plus before her common tests liaoz.... sigh, pray for good results liao sia, at least for physics i hope :P hehe... hmm anyway she's a nice girl to chat with when not studying. but guess gotta push her hard for the next 2 wks man... oh well, dragging a tired body around now, guess tt's the effect of not doing proper cool downs after any exercise, hope it'll recover by tml morn for my swim. oh ya, happy father's day~!!! take care peeps. ghimz out.
