Immerse in natural phenomena
Woke up early yesterday morning to send my mum for her follow-up at the eye centre. Most of the time we were waiting, waiting and waiting. 5% of the time doing stuffs and 95% waiting!! I stood and sat waiting for either the nurse to call the name or number to flash. Kinda inefficient if you asked me. The appointment was actually early in the morning but we only get to see the doc like a few hours later! What's the point of having an appointment time then? We were there for like more than 7 hours! Anyway, the right eye was good and successful according to the doc. The surgery for the left eye will be done soon. And then we have to go through all these things again... shucks!
Reached home feeling a little groggy. Might be due to the tiredness in waiting or that I didn't have enough sleep the night before. Nonetheless, spent some quality time with my niece. Sis and bro came back late at night and then asked me whether I wanna take a spin in the rented car. Two places I had in mind. Marsiling - to transfer my notes there, and Yishun Dam! Not sure what's attracting me there, but since the first time I went there, I've been visiting the place as and when the opportunity arises. Maybe it's the journey that fascinate me. As they always say, life is a journey, not a destination! haha.. One thing for sure though, I now know the routes to a petrol kiosk in Yishun when I was struggling to find one on the first few occasions! hahaha.. The driving last night was not without any risk. I drive to those places with my 'check engine' light illuminating! Went to one of the petrol kiosks and asked them about the light, the uncle said it was due to the brake oil being insufficient! I believe in that until I reached home and looked up on the internet and found out that the light is most likely got to do with the engine rather than the brake. Luckily didn't buy any top-up for the brake oil or what, if not will feel like kena cheated! lol.. The most important thing though was that I managed to get back safe and sound! heh
Woke up early again this morning to have a game, or more appropriately, games of soccer at lam soon @ CCK with my old buddies from sec school. Reached there at about 10 and it was bright and sunny, perfect for some soccer. As usual though, majority of them are late, but after nearly a decade, I've gotten used to it.. haha! When more people had arrived, we started playing another group of players where half of them look only slightly older than half our age (dammit, we're old!! hahaha). Had no choice but to play them since they occupied the court first. Played against them until the first rain of the day falls on us. Stopped the game, went to the nearby block to have a rest while waiting for the rain to stop. Well, it turned out that the rain never stops. So we went back to the court playing among ourselves when the rain was reduced to a drizzle. And when it got heavier, went back to the void-deck again.. lol. Did this until it came to the last few games where although the rain became heavier, we still continued playing. It's kinda fun playing in the rain, actually. Other than getting ourselves wet, everyone was really enjoying themselves.
As I've said earlier, we've been playing together for almost a decade and I can say the camaraderie is still very strong! As what one of my friends said, while reminiscing the good old days, "..we've gone a long way!" And certainly so! We've gone from playing with plastic bottles, upgraded to tennis ball, then a smaller-sized soccer ball before the current normal-sized ball!! haha.. We are fortunate enough that through these games of soccer, we are able to have an avenue to catch up with each other on what's the latest happenings in our lives or just have lots of laughter, which may be absent in our daily life. I say, nothing beats spending time with your friends, whom you've known for years, doing something that everyone enjoys the most! Soccer + good company + lots of fun/laughter + rain = rockin' good time! Well, maybe not the rain (cos you can get sick from it) but well, yeah, you get the picture.. haha! Oh ya, that reminds me. I've been using running shoes for my street soccer outings, and from the looks of it, I don't think it will last if I continue to do so, especially with the monsoon season. I think it's time to buy a pair shoes, for either one of the usage, so that I can have one pair for jogging/running and the other for soccer... but no money how to buy?!?! hahaha... Oh well...
Anyway, you know what, I've been remembering my dreams ever since my last update about my lala land! That's 3 consecutive days of dreams that I remembered having! haha.. For Thursday night, I dreamt that one of my uni friends text, or rather MMS me, pictures of the scenery around the school and was telling me how she's missing them! The funny thing is the pictures are all seaside views with yachts and beaches only a stone-throw away! The first thing which I told myself when I woke up was, I would be so motivated every day if I were to study in such a school! hahaa... Last night, I dreamt about my results. Actually, more of a nightmare. I dreamt that failed two of my modules with grade F! Eeeekss!!! Is that a sign? Oh no!!! Not sure why I'm dreaming about this when I'm not really anxious at all even though it will be released in a few days. Nvm, whatever it is, I'll just hope for the best, and come D-day, I'll accept whatever grades I get and move on.
Have a great weekend people!
