a new beginning

things are getting on for a start...

after doing wat i should have done long ago...
kicking myself in the butt running at 31 km at 12 noon to suffer under the scotching sun,remind ing myself nv to be so selfless and foolish again,

i got a call from NTU today

I got into ACC

i don't know wat you guys did... but thx.

one thing i know... it wasn't luck

and ya... it might have been my hard work but it was your acceptance of me in the team and helping me find out who i really am

...good luck for 'tour of IRAN'

and thx bernard for the party yest.

the nasi lemak was real cool stuff. couldn't help it but i have to finish all the rice and ikan bilis.


anyway
its real funny to see all your team mates with thier little ones.
and u aren't with any

bernard junior is so cute... walking around side to side... sucking his first lolli pop...
the 2 little johnny are really pretty.. the elder one had the mobic look... and the cleopatra hair...
the younger one- fair skin...big eyes... u just can't take your eyes off her.

the 2 little melvyn were real active too.

was quite shock to see ah peng with 3 kids...
i always thought he was a newly wed or doesn't have any children

i am quite sure the little ones have seen each other at many occasions... macham faminly members...cos little bernard was ignoring all his cousins... and was playing with them instead.



i really admire them for living such a beautiful life so far... managing a family, work and still doing wat they love to do

when they are not with thier family... they are like normal group of guys....having fun... growing a belly....

best part... some were friends since the age of 13....

means to say they have seen each other grew up... break up... flunk exams...get married.... give birth... when they were younger... besides cycling they played badminton together... swim... go disco.... and now they are going to organise a trip to the zoo for thier little ones!

they are so much diff from my perception of singaporeans

after dealing with so many 30 + 40 + yr old NS men... (close to 600) my perception of a typical grown up singaporean life is work... go home... slp...complain... and the routine carries on and on, like an animal. it doesn't help when almost every grown up i meet will complain to me," u know how singapore si so stress." and seriously... i think they always make themselves so stress out till they end up mocking at others to fill up the ego within them


but...
it was so diff yest.

from thier wives conversation with one another... thier children's affection towards one another....

i knew the whole grp have came a long way

it was real funny when johnny's wife told me not to worry bout my scar cos she had seen worse one...

then bogay cut in and started talking about how he and johnny took part in a race 20 yrs back...
he fell off the bike... hurt himself... and johnny's wife(then his girlfriend) was treating his wound... and johnny was so angry, he didn't talk to her for days.

i am real glad to know you guys...

every single moment of cycling... slacking at petrol kiosk... at the shop... hotel.... and now... the little ones' B day.

happy B day to pinky (opps forgot her name... but everything bout her is pink... her clothes... her room... so i will call her pinky)... guess wat... she is borned on 22th Apr... day b4 me...

so if fiona... my nanny at work can't celebrate her b day with me (she is borned on 23th APr by the way)... i will crash pinky's party... so thick skin hoh.
