half a peom of other’s

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts you aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
and risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
and never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

Now my decision is:

Stop considering buying now.

Wait, after Chinese New Year when I come back from China.

Concentrate on other things and stop wasting time.

Even if in the future I want to buy one again, I shall review this and, don’t think too much. :-P

An Interesting Sunday

This is a list of my activities today. I listed down because I think and I am kinda of making my day interesting.

It is still just list. I will review and summarize it later.

================

A not-so-good start because I got up late

This Sunday starts as a normal, relax, boring Sunday. Because I was kinda of stay up last night, sleep at one something am, this morning I first woke up at 9 then fell asleep again so only got up at ten thirty. I felt bad.

The morning went away fast, even before I wanted to turn on loud music as I normally do on a Sunday morning. Ji Cheng’s girl, who works in Changi air port terminal 3 and whose shift is 4pm to 12am today cooked. Nice lunch.

Long and boring afternoon, as usual

The afternoon was long and boring. I wanted to go to Carrfour but I am now bankrupted. I wanted to go swimming at Toa Payoh but the pool is crowded on weekends. I wanted to play soccer at the Potong Pasir court but I was shy to play alone during the day.

Because of being bored with surfing net, I watched a movie copied from my friend, named . Why shall I take this marriage education when I don’t even have a potential girlfriend? I laughed at myself.

A nap in the afternoon came late and it was short, not like usual.

Reading and focus!

I got up at 5pm to start continuing reading a book. Today’s chapter talked about focus on different things change one’s thinking. Totally agree with that. But my mind kept popping out other ideas while I was reading! “focusing on soccer in high school classes”, “normally easy to lose focus”, “I listen to music to help focusing”, “learning to laugh from my friends”, “normal boring Sunday”, “no winner in my war- rational guy versus emotional guy”. There were my weird thoughts. First time I noted them down. Almost all bad records of mine huh? Haha

Interesting Ping Pong Soccer

After dinner I and Ji Cheng went to the hard court to play soccer. We started with passing the ball to each other while watching some Malay young boys playing a one-on-one shooting game that we called it Ping Pong Soccer.

The soccer court is small, just bit larger than a badminton court. It is surrounded by a wall of more than one meter high. Two gates at each end, are about 1.5 meters high and 2 to 3 meters wide. The whole court is then surrounded by a steel mash wall of 5 meters high.

The Ping Pong Soccer game can be played one-on-one or two-one-two. The rule is simple, the player(s) can only stay in one half of the court. Then they can shoot anywhere, in anyway. I only realized it is an interesting game when we joined the young boys. There are techniques, like trying to aim side of the gate so that if the ball doesn’t go in it still can bounce back so that you can shoot again. It is a great exercise of shooting, goal keeping, blocking shots, etc.

Ji Cheng and I later team up and play normal soccer games with the young boys and won them for several rounds. Later I felt I played for very long time and that reminded me of high school happy hours. No worries, just play, play. That’s good feeling.

Do something different, do something interesting

I called home later. And I extended the call to 18 minutes though father asked me to hang up, because, I talked something different, like discussing with him about getting a driver’s license.

Later I sent sms to a friend because it is her friend’s birthday today. I “pretend” to be interested in the way they celebrate. Because, curiosity is interesting!

The network marketing guy

At ten pm, a network marketing guy came near my place, again, to ask me to attend a seminar or training session. This time he brought his “big boss” and another young guy. The boss is more knowledgeable. We had more discussion than I had with the guy only. But still, they ended the conversation by saying, “come to the seminar this week, you will learn a lot.” Actually I am now only interested in how these guys always keep enthusiastic and motived.

About the seminar, I probably will answer like this: I once turned down a insurance agent though I am interested in buying from him. He now doesn’t contact me. Will I still buy from him?

Now, it’s late and it’s time to go to sleep.
