Finding My Way Back To Sanity Again: June 2006

foot workout

"it aches in every bone, i'll die alone, but not for you" - seether (remedy)

i like to workout. okay so it's more like when i'm in the mood and on a roll, i really like to workout.

last nite i was working out at home with my free weights. there's nothing like working out in the privacy of your own room and at your own time. except when you encounter a lil mishap...

let's just ponder this equation:

+

=

not so fun.

what happened to me was that my free weight fell on my foot. yowza! major ouchie!

i bruised and couldn't walk properly the next day. but i'm guessing that i should be okay since if i broke something it should probably hurt a lot more.

still it wasn't fun. and trust me, my free weights aren't the wussy kind. they've of the pretty heavy very non-wussy variety.

i guess i should be thankful that it wasn't my even heavier free weight that fell on my foot.

world cup fever

"with the world at your feet, there's no one you can't beat, yes it can be done" - embrace (world at your feet) (official england world cup song)

ask me what i did this weekend.

well i watched the world cup.

yep, i spent quality time straining my eyes looking at a small screen constantly looking for a even smaller ball on that screen. and that was exciting.

the opening ceremony was cool though i'm not sure if i was feeling the whole women being suspended up in the air in lampshade-esque skirts thing.

as for the teams. gotta love the germans. though i miss my fave goalkeeper. he's too cool. and does anyone else think that oliver kahn kinda looks like oscar the grouch from sesame street?

the england game was pretty crappy. i mean where's the fun in winning when it's 'coz the other team scored their own goal?

oh well i guess this is only the beginning...

the night lights of hong kong and macau

"but if the bright lights don't receive you, you can turn yourself around, and come on home" - matchbox 20 (bright lights)

and i'm back!

or did you not know that i was gone? haha!

a lil over a week ago i took a lil 5-day vacation to hong kong and macau with the parentals. the trip was good. it was better than expected. i've actually been to hong kong before, in 1997 before the handover to china. and back then i didn't think it was that fun. but somehow i had more fun this time round. maybe i'm older and different or something.

i didn't do much shopping or gambling 'coz the clothes aren't all that cheap and i'm not exactly the gambling kind. i just play a bit of the slot machines, figure out that i'm not gonna win anything that way and just give up. however what i did do was to sightsee and of 'coz eat a fair bit of food. hmmm yummy!

even though this wasn't particularly yummy...

fried pig's intestines anyone?
