To experience the bittersweet, taste defeat then brush my teeth

So, how did my weekend go? Not bad except for the fact that Arsenal didn't win their recent match with Tottenham. Quite nice watching football after such a long time of not watching a live match. Had McD's with my mom and lil brother. Saw a poser-ish guitarist who played God-knows-what at Starbucks Taipan. Damn. I'm so critical. Hao Lian too.

Sunday came and I had to play guitar. Thanks to Uncle Min Choy for solving the feedback problem on the guitar. It does take some skills to do P.A. I really appreciate the P.A team for always trying to help me out when there's a problem with the sounds. After church, headed to Summit together with my brother and "sister" Cae Me for lunch. We had 1901 hotdogs and Starbucks coffee. Shucks, such a simple lunch can cost me so much. We had a great time talking 'bout deep stuff anyway. Later in the evening, I picked up Paul and Meng Yoe for our weekly badminton session. Okay so I'm not that good. Gosh, I even lose to kids nearly half my age. Nevertheless, me and Meng Yoe decided to be healthy from now on. Yeah, like exercising just once a week would make us fit. I can't wait for the basketball court to be completed at church. I still love the game even though I haven't touch a ball for a very long, long time.

Monday. I wore my new glasses to college. It didn't look very different from the 'old' one so the change wasn't noticable. I have to start taking better care of my eyesight. I'm getting blind! Had a fattening lunch with the sisters after lecture. Learnt a new Mandarin word but with much embarrassment thanks to May and Amy constantly laughing at me each time I pronounced a word. After class, watched Amy shape May's brows. Funny. I always thought girls pluck their brows. I saw a gadget used for the purpose of shaping the brows for the first time. Jakun is the right word for it.

Tuesday. I dread Tuesdays 'cos I have to wake up damn early for class. That particular class is quite boring too. Can't blame everyone for feeling drowsy in the morning. Class went fine and the time I spent staying up a lil to prepare for lessons was worth it. At least I'm not behind my lessons now. Today is just a lazy day nonetheless. I have to start studying hard tomorrow for my quiz. I read an article in the Reader's Digest about shyness. No surprise, I AM actually quite shy. Yup. I have a mild case of social anxiety. I have to thank someone who influenced me to socialise more. I still like being a quiet, simple guy though. Today I realised the sacrifice of two brave Jedi's who made a very difficult decision simply because of their determination to desire for 'better' things. I look up to both of you and pray that things that are to come will be good.

Lessons learnt during the weekend and currently:

1. Girls don't just pluck their brows. They shave them too.
2. Negative thoughts are mostly just false (and silly) perceptions in the mind.
3. The way to a girl's heart is at an unexpected moment and at an unexpected time.
4. It's good to experience the bittersweet, taste defeat then brush your teeth!
