2007 in review

Another year gone. 2007 has been quite an interesting year.

Work

Work-wise, I'm still working at the same place, doing the same sort of stuff. Didn't get as much of a pay rise as I was hoping for. It's the first time in the many years that I am with the company that I feel that company does not value my work. "Quit, find another job", you'd say. That's what I'm doing, except it's in reverse order, find another job first, and then quit.

Study

Study-wise, finished another three subjects this year. Only has eight more to go >_<. That's another 4 years worth of part-time study if I continue the (lazy) way I am, taking two subjects a year. Funny enough, for the subject I didn't expect to do very well, I received a letter from the lecturer congratulating me on being the top of the class.

Old Friends

During a friend's engagement party, I managed to meet up with so many old friends that I haven't met in six, seven years. It was great to have caught up with them. No doubt I'll be seeing them at the wedding sometime in near future.

My high school reunion was also held this year. Again, met lots classmates from yonks and yonks ago whom I haven't seen since graduation. Unlikely to see them any time soon until the next reunion, which is years away.

Finally got on FaceBook, and after a little troll through friend's friend's friend's friend. I've found lots of old classmates. Some were overseas, some interstate. Some married, and some already have kids. Time flew so quickly by.

New Friends

Went on a ski trip during winter with some colleagues who I have seen at work over the years, but not actually spoken to. Strange things happen this year, eh? Made some new friends through the colleague. Now I have more people to talk to at work when I'm bored ^_^.

However, I'm still single. Didn't come anywhere near close enough this year. There was someone I was interested, but didn't work out quite the way I thought it would. Well, hopefully next year will be a better year. But that what I said the year before. Oh well. Such is life.

Still waiting for my first lotto win ^_^;

Dream File 0007-AA

Three seemingly separate dreams that may or may not be connected. The first one involved a friend and her boyfriend. They were hired as housekeepers at our house. They did a pretty good job, and we were safe to leave them our house keys.

The second dream was a bit longer. I was inside a room on a curise ship. There were three girls and me. Two I have seen before (in real life), and one whom I have never met. They all have boyfriends. Then I was told to look for another girl in another room. I went into the other room, and lo and behold, another chick. She has long hair, and that's about all I could remember of her. One thing I do remember is that she did not have a boyfriend.

The third dream of the day has movie-like action and camera shots. A woman was holding a tiny cup. She claimed to have the world's deadest poison. One drop of it could kill thousands (Yep, a convenient movie plot device). There were SWATs all around her closing in with guns. Then the camera panned towards a shop across the street. It was a magic shop, where magicians buy their wares! It was closed. Matter of fact, the whole street was deserted. Don't know what happened in the end, because the clock alarm woke me up.

It would have been very interesting.

The Once in a Hundred Year storm

If there is such thing called the once in a hundred years storm, this is it. I have finally experienced the 'city flood', like so many that I have seen on TV news. The rain caused flooding all around Melbourne, not the least our workplace.

I parked at the same spot for as long as I have been working at our current address, and despite having seen many rain and storms over the years in the area, I have never quite experienced what we had today. The entire road was under water. Worse still, my car was in the middle of the 'lake'. The water reached just one inch below the door. Just wait for another half an hour or so, and my car would have been flooded. Thanks a million to one of my colleague who alerted me. I owed you one, man.

Getting home is not much better, with flash flood at almost every low lying area, it took me close to an hour to travel the 10km or so of road.

Shit Food, shit service

A friend recently has a really shitty experience at a restaurant that shall remind nameless. She was having dinner with another friend, but as she ate the dish that she ordered, she discovered a metallic 'thing' in the food. Naturally, that metal piece is not meant to be part of the dish.

Calling over the manager / owner of the restaurant, he quickly took the dish away, and explained that he has seen it before and it's not big deal. I wasn't at the 'crime scene' until later. And the second round of 'confrontation' ensued.

He kept on telling us to go to the hospital and do a checkup. It there was indeed something, come back and complain, and if there was nothing, then everything is fine. Right, thanks for that, but who's going to pay for it? Besides, it's not the eating that is at fault, it's the fact that that metal piece is in the dish that's unacceptable.

I don't believe it's a matter of physically eating the thing that scared my friend. I think she's psychologically traumatized by the whole ordeal. She was on the verge of crying. I could see the tears in her eyes. Her boyfriend arrived later to comfort her, that's about the only thing that has gone right at the restaurant.

I did not eat, nor seen the dish, but the way the owner was acting is totally unreasonable. Basically, he was making all sort of excuses.

It almost resemble things that you hear on the news, like nails in McDonald's food or something. Whereas McDonald's at least has some sort of complain hotline. A small restaurant that my friend went to doesn't.

I couldn't offer much help at the scene. Arguing with the owner is not going to do much help. What I figured out afterwards is complaining to the Health Department. I think the department will has to take all complaints seriously. Whether they will actually do something about it, I don't know, but at least she should let them know.

Poor girl, not the best year she had. Falling down the stair some months ago, and now this. Maybe she will have a better year next year.

Life is short

Found out recently that a friend's relative is fighting breast cancer. It has unfortunately spread to other parts of the body. Truth be told, there's not much time left for the relative.

With or without disease, life is too short. I know I say a lot of "I'll do tomorrow" to myself. I have been fortunately enough not to have had friends or relatives who suffer from the likes of cancer. And that makes me less aware of the life itself. I take it for granted. I always expected a tomorrow.

I have not experienced the 'life-changing' moments. My life is... boring, to some extend. I'm not saying I need to suffer from a major 'bad luck' moment to value life, but without a 'life-changing' experience, us as people will not see life as precious.

It's the worst of times that brings the best of people.

Power? or Love?

Recently watched a Hong Kong movie called "Hooked on You" (每當變幻時), starring Miriam Yeung (楊千嬅) and Eason Chan (陳奕迅). In the movie, both Miriam and Eason play fishmongers at a different stall in the same market.

The whole story spans across 10 years. Long story short, Eason and Miriam are not the best of friends 10 years ago, but as time passes, they grow fond of each other. Miriam feels comfortable with Eason when they are together, but at the same time, she wants to break out of the market and explore the world, so to speak.

She has a choice, go out and explore the world and be success at what she does, or be an ordinary fishmonger with someone she loves. I won't spoil the story.

So it's the same dilemma that many movies (and real life experiences) have touched on. Do you want power? or do you want love? I'm leaning towards the latter, only because I'm not a power hunger individual. You judge your own success. I think I'm quite successful at my age, I have a job, a degree, almost everything I want, the only thing that's missing is love. That seems to be a stumbling block for me. My life would be completed if I have that too.

I feel a bit like Eason in the movie (the first half of the movie, at least). I might like somebody, but due to various factors, it is not to be.

Dream File 0006-AA

There were two married couples who were friends. The first couple was looking for the house. The second couple has an evil plan to buy the first couple's home for cheap. So they offered their house to the first couple for a 'bargain' price of $68 million dollars. They were chatting in the second couple's study.

The first couple was grateful for the offer, complimenting on how good the house was and how cheap it was, etc. The husband said something like, "I don't know how to repay you". It was then that the second husband dropped the bombshell by saying, "How about your house?"

It was a shock to the first couple because it sounded as though the second couple wanted the same kind of treatment (i.e. cheap house). Their house worth more than the second couple's house, but now they are trapped after talking so much about how cheap the $68 million house was. If they refused, it made them look bad for not returning the favour, but if they do, they will lose the house. A 'damn if they do, damn if they don't' situation.

Then the first husband went on to say how a freeway is going to be built in his suburb and how it would push up the prices of house and that his house was worth nothing less than $100 million. In other words, they wanted more money for their house.

So, who is more evil? The first couple for not returning the favour, or the second pair for offering their house for cheap, and then expect the same from the first pair?

The best joke I've read this year

Dream File 0005-MJ

Can't remember exactly the dream I had today. I think there are actually two dreams. The first dream is similar to the second one. Or is it one of the same? Anyway, my friend and I were looking for one of those All-In-One printers at a shop. We walked around the printer looking for something. That is the first dream.

The second one is similar, we were still at the shop, looking at the same printer. We picked up an empty box, trying to find out where the printer was made in. We thought it was made in Japan, but found out that it was made in China. There was something else after the printer in the second dream, but I can't remember.

Long distances relationship... Does it work?

I found out recently that a friend's girlfriend is going back to her own country after completing her study here. So, with no immediate plan to go with her, my friend got himself into a long term relationship. While the general consensus is that the majority of long distances relationships don't work, I have seen it work before. But it makes me wonder, does it really work?

I've seen couples who broke up even before one of the partners has to leave for a far fling country. I mean, is there some sort of psychological barrier in each and every one of us that tell us that distance won't work?

In the days of snail mail and very expensive IDD calls, that could be the case due to the long time between correspondences and the relatively short time on the phone. But nowadays, technology changes that. Email, MSN, Facebook, etc. is almost instantaneous and phone calls are cheap as (come on, Skype to Skype is free).

In the current technological trend, is long term relationship going to work? Or does human need the need to see each other, feel each other's embrace, and be physically close to each other?

Dream File 0004-CQZ

Can't quite remember the start of today's dream, so I'll start somewhere in the middle. I was hi-jacking a friend's 4X4 (good start, huh?). And as I was getting away, she pressed a button on another set of similar car keys which was in a box of keys.

I thought she has activated a bomb on the car (like in the movies), so I drove around looking for a place to dump the car. Then I found an empty lot and crashing through the fence into the empty lot, I parked right in the middle of it and dashed into a shop across the street.

Moments later she arrived with a cop (actually, he is more like those Pakistan security guard outside banks in HK) just outside the shop window. I was hiding behind a rack of cards looking out the window. She soon recognised me and started to walk in. I tried to get away, but was caught. We had a chat and walked out the shop (the cop disappeared into the background).

We ended up in a (rose) garden, and she proceeded to kneel down near one of the roses and start fiddling with the ground. I asked her what she was doing and apparently, she was looking for a plug along one of the cables she was fiddling with. The cables were optic fibre cables for the internet, and her friend was able to get unmetered high speed internet by plugging in some sort of device (yep, more dodgy stuff).

Then we went to a lecture hall. Unlike the normal lecture halls, this one slopes down, rather than up. The further you are at the back, the lower you sit. It was here that we parted. I found my friend and sat one row ahead of him. When I turned back to talk to him, I found that she was just another row behind with her friend.

Then the clock alarm went off.

Dream File 0003-KT

I was at a friend's house. More like a dormitory, actually. The room was fairly small. Besides my friend and I, there was another person whom I did not know. Anyway, there was wide bookshelf in the middle of the room, about 5 metres wide and high enough to fit about 3 books. It looked something like a display shelf at a shop.

On the shelves were manga, volume after volume of them. There was Dragonball Volume 30 to 36 (in Chinese, I think). And on the bottom shelf, there were Full Metal Panic figurines, still in their boxes, each about 30 centimetres high. I took one out and had a look. It was one of the mecha.

Then I woke up. Man, I wish I have room on my shelves for those FMP figurines.

Engagement Party

Attended my best friend's engagement party last night. Man, he sure has a lot of friends. I am not sure if they were all his friends, or if some were his fiancée's friends as well, or if they are both. But I have met a lot of them, and a lot of them I haven't seen in years, most from my high school days.

It was so nice to catch up with them. There was no live band and whatnots, all we did was nothing more than just chat with other people. I tended to stick to those who I know (mostly from high school), but there are a few new faces. Two of the friends are already married, and many are paired up. There is still a fair share of us who are singles, me included. That just makes me wonder, what is my engagement party going to be like? Actually, the question should be if I am ever going to have one.

Actually, the first question is if I will ever get a fiancée in the first place. Sometimes I feel lonely, but sometimes I feel that I am so free being single. Such is the dilemma. I guess having someone to share your life with is better than no-one to share, right?

Today's dream. There was an attempted robbery at my house. Well, my room, to be exact. I was sleeping in my room all the while it was raining bits and bytes outside. Two lighting flashes very close to my room, and I heard two soft screams. I didn't pay too much notice of it, so I went back to bed.

At dawn, I saw my curtain moved, but I was sure the window was closed, so it couldn't be from the wind outside. I got up and checked on the window. Viola! A hand on the half opened window, trying to yank it open.

I naturally screamed, "Thief!". And the would-be-burglar flee on foot, but not before I had a good look at him, a 12 years old kid from next door.

Then the cops turned up and did some fingerprint test on the window frame.

Interview with myself: Formula 1 2007 Season

Best on-field moments?
Taku driving a Super Aguri passing Alonso AND Raikkonen on the race track at Canada. Now he can tell his grand-kids that he has passed two world champions in one race.

Best off-field moments?
Stepneygate, by far the best spy novel material since James Bond. I can already picture the opening scene of any potential movie.

Best driver of the year?
Lewis Hamilton. Almost become the world champion in his rookie year, pending on court decision. 2000 US Presidential election comes to mind. That aside, he actually has talent, and so far, being modest.

Unluckiest driver of the year?
Mark Webber. The driver is great, but every time he's in a good point scoring position, either his machine died on him, or someone else ram him up his arse. So much so that he's the only driver I've heard to swear on live TV this season after getting rammed from behind in Japan.

One thing you'd like to see next year?
The first driver to get blinded by the lights at the Singapore night race.

One thing you'd like to see (but will never happen) next year?
Ferrari getting treated like everybody else.

One thing you'd like to say to Alonso?
Stop being a crybaby. Hamilton is better than you.

One thing you'd like to say to your favourite team?
Get your bloody car running Start your bloody car, Honda. Barrichello came last. How it that ever possible?

Psycho climbed into a house to stab ex

Read a disturbing newspaper article about a 22 years old guy who meticulously planned to kill his ex girlfriend in Hong Kong by stabbing her during her sleep. Apparently, the guy is an avid rock climber. Got into the building when the guard wasn't looking in the middle of the night, he rode to the 25th floor where he used his rock climbing skills to dangle, swing and land at the crime scene. He effortlessly got into the house and stabbed the 22 years old girl 9 times with the knife he brought.

When he was spotted by the girl's mother after she heard her daughter's scream, the suspect calmly went out the window and abseil down the building and fled.

There are psychos are out there who would do anything to destroy someone else's life. 'If I can't have it, you can't either'. So why doesn't he stalk her, find out her new boyfriend and stab him as well? Why only the girl? That aside, how could love turn into hatred? If you love somebody so much, wouldn't you want him/her to be happy, regardless of whether you are "the one" or not.

You might have some terrible days after the break up, but come on, it's over. Get over it. The world still goes on, life still goes on. Be grateful that you have loved and be loved once before, because not everyone is as lucky as you are.

Dream File 0001-MJ

Had a strange dream today. I was with a female friend at a stadium watching something. Then someone handed me a piece of paper. Upon opening it, it was an invitation for two to an exclusive high class something (a restaurant, I think it was).

Then a concorde flew past the stadium night sky which was filled with aurora. It was sort of a spectacular air show. The girl next to me held my hand like what a girlfriend would do. The only thing was, we were not in a relationship. So that kind of surprised me, but was happy at the same time. The concorde did a couple more loops, and then I woke up.

What does the dream mean? Hmmm. Like every other dream that I have, this is a very strange dream indeed. I will soon forget it, I know. Sometimes I feel like studying psychology, just so to understand human behaviour, emotion, action, what other people are thinking. I think it will help me to understand others better.

Just one more thing on my list.

Long time to build, only takes a second to destroy

I often wonder why things that take such a long time to build can be destroyed in such a short period. Just look at the World Trade Centre. Took years to build, but only hours to fall. Not only the physical world that we live in, but also our emotional world as well.

Friendship can be forged over days, weeks, months, often years, but one wrong word, one wrong move, one small misunderstanding, and it's gone forever. Whatever friendship you could save is no longer that same friendship you have had before. It changed its substance. You don't feel the same towards each other again. It will always feel awkward. And then you would go through scenarios of what you could have done or should not have done.

You want to undo the misunderstand, take back what you've said, but this is not a computer, you can't hit Ctrl-Z. This is life, and life has no take-2. You wish you could wake up tomorrow morning, and discovered everything was just a dream.

Illusion of Lost Hope

Would you rather live under the illusion of false hope, than to live in a reality of lost hope? In the former, you think that, not matter how small, you still have a chance in achieving what it is that you want to achieve. In the latter, you know you're fucked. You don't have a chance. The upside is that you can now get over it and get on with life.

The only problem is, even though all hope is lost, you still have this illusion that maybe, just maybe, things would eventually go your way. You knew what was being said, but you refused to believe what you heard.

Sometimes things are best left unsaid.

One step forward, and a couple thousand steps back.

Have you ever felt that whenever you take a step forward towards the right direction, you tend to fall pretty hard flat on your face not too long after? Well, join the club. Today is my day.

Fate is a funny thing. For some time now, I thought fate was on my side. But today I don't feel that's the case anymore. Everything that has happened till today had me thinking, "great, it's working my way." Everything seemed perfect. The timing looked right, the circumstances was right on cue, the people were there. Things looked to work like clockworks. And then I realised, it's too good to be true.

You ever hit a brick wall before? At the moment of impact, you don't really feel a thing. It's the moment after you realised that you have hit it that hurts. The signal needs to travel to your brain first. After it processes the signal, you brain realised that you've hit a wall and it's then that you feel the pain. At the end of the day, you cry out in pain, and the brick wall turns into rumbles. At least that's a good thing, you won't need to see that stupid wall again if you can get back up.

Today, fate put up a bloody good wall for me to hit. Well, a smaller wall was setup over the weekend. So I sort of know what's going to happen today. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. For one thing, I have had hit a similar wall many years ago, and I knew how that felt. This just isn't the same feeling, maybe it's because I didn't have that initial feeling to start with, or maybe I grew up.

There is a Chinese saying that goes, "天時地利人和", meaning the right time at the right place with the right people. I reckon I did pretty darn good on the first two. It's the last one that jacked me up, not the people who tried to move things along, but the main character who felt otherwise.

My life is not a mess (not by a long shot), but it might as well be a TV drama. I reckon I would do pretty good as a writer, drawing from real life experience. Is it just my fate, or is it that everyone I meet is like that? I don't know. It's not the best of days, and I have a feeling it's going to get a whole lot worse.

The foundation that has been set over the last couple of months is not going to to hold. It is just going to crumble away, I know it's going to happen. There's is nothing I can do about it. And then, I'm left with nothing more than a square.

A square called Square One.

Fundamentist watch out!

Scott Adams, the author of the popular comic strip Dilbert, has just written a blog entry on wanting to develop a drug that would reduce the sensation caused by religious experiences. By feeding the drug to terrorists via water supply, they would feel less about their God and maybe a bit more about other people's life.

Read it, it's a funny blog. Just don't take it seriously though.

Honda made the best of the rain.

Formula One, the only racing event that I like to watch. None of that stupid Holden vs Ford V8 or running around in circle NASCAR, but the best of the best racing in the fastest cars in the world.

Anyway, all I really care for the Chinese Grand Prix is that Jenson Button drove his Honda in the points. Only for the second time this season, Honda has a point scoring finish. It's the best result for the team, though no doubt by now, Honda is already working on its 2008 car.

The race was wet (just like the Japanese GP), and lucky for Honda, they did the right thing at the right time to score their best finish.

Honda now has 6 points, 2 points ahead of its "B-team", the Super Aguri, but 6 points behind its main Japanese rival, Toyota.

They better have a bloody good car next year, otherwise, sack Nakamoto.

Australia Rugby lost out to England... again.

I'm not much of a Rugby person. As a matter of fact, I don't know what so fun about a group of men colliding with another group of men while the ball is being throw around from one side of the field to another.

But this is World Cup, and Australia had once again, been beaten by the same team that beat them 4 years ago, England. No doubt it was history repeating itself, it was a close game, but in the end, Australia just wasn't good enough. Australia lost 12-10.

Across the Tasman, the All Black also fell flat to the host nation. New Zealand lost to France 20-18.

10 years High School Reunion

So I went back to my old school for only the third time in 10 years since I graduated. Nothing much has changed since the last time I visited the school 5 years ago. At least not the exterior anyway.

It's almost embarrassing to say this, but you know how you recognise faces, but can't quite remember the names? I got that feeling tonight. Lucky it's not just me. A couple of other friends did as well. Good thing that the school provided name tags for the night.

It was great catching up with some old classmates. Most are working; some are working towards a PhD; Some got married; and some are engaged. Last time we caught up, it was like, "So you're still studying?". This time it was like, "So when are you getting married?".

Time really flies. It has come to our next phrase of our lives, having our own families. I'm still without someone right now. Meeting a chick is one thing, dating her is quite another. Right now, I'm somewhere stuck between "meeting" and "dating".

Germany Victory

Woman's Football World Cup ended with a victory to Germany, just as I have hoped. Can't say the refereeing were good. Some of the penalties shouldn't have been awarded from both sides, I think. After the Germany goalkeeper saved the penalty from Brazil, you just know that Germany is going to win.

The second goal just sealed it. I felt happy for the Germans. Hopefully Australia could do a bit better in 4 years.

We are Geelong, the greatest team of all.

Very happy today, mainly because Geelong won the 2007 AFL Grand Final. In its typical style all throughout the season, Geelong ran over Port Adelaide by a massive 119 points. It was the biggest winning margin in the history of AFL Grand Final. It ended a 44 years drought for the Cats, and I am happy.

From a neutral spectator point of view, it was probably a boring match. The Cats just kicked goal after goal after goal without any real challenge. On the other hand, for the Cats supporters (like me), it doesn't get better than this.

I still remembered early in the year, TAB sportbet had Mark Thompson (the Geelong coach) the favourite to be the first one this season to get the sack. Not anymore. Thompson will lead Geelong next year, that's almost certain.

Geelong has pretty much clean sweep everything this year, having won the minor premiership, the Rising Star award, the Brownlow medal, the VFL, the Norm Smith medal and now the Grand Final. The best they have ever had. I hope I'll see more of these in the years to come.

Go the Cats.

Football Grand Final Week

Australian Football League (AFL) grand final tomorrow. For those who don't know, just treat it as the Super Bowl of Australia.

Anyway, I'm Geelong supporter, but haven't really follow football because my team hasn't really perform well over the last couple of years. This year it's different. They are in the grand final this year, and I really hope they would do well to kick the shit out of Port Adelaide, the other team.

Had a dream about Geelong losing to Fremantle 92 to 98. If dream never reflects reality, then Geelong is going to win tomorrow.

***

Watched the woman's football (soccer, for the less gifted people) World Cup match between Australia and Brazil last week. That game was full of shit. The referee is a Nazi bitch who knows nothing about football. Australia has so much a chance as to win the game if it wasn't for that stupid bitch.

Last night's match between Brazil and US wasn't as bad, but as the Brazilians are just as bad. As soon as the US has a player sent off, the Brazilian, whoever the hell his her name is, celebrated. I mean, what the fuck are you celebrating? The other team having one less player? Sportsmanship? What's that?

Mind you, I don't support neither teams, but to see a player celebrating the other team's misfortune is utterly disgusting. Hope Germany beat the shit out of you, and that's coming from someone who like the Brazil men football team (though I'm less so nowadays since Rivaldo's acting in the 2002 World Cup).

Unexpected outings

Went out with a friend to a shopping centre for lunch today before heading out to play badminton later in the afternoon. What we found at the shopping centre was a bit of a surprise. There was apparently the Chinese Moon Festival being held at an area just outside the shopping centre. It wasn't a very big event. And most of them are food stalls, just like every other Chinese festival held there.

We went there for lunch, but ended up with nothing more than a cup of bubble tea and some bite size food. Next stop, badminton.

Badminton wasn't too bad, actually. Released how much I still suck at it. At least I don't have to run like crazy like in tennis. But not enough workout, as it turned out, because we got to head out to the city for movie only after about half and hour.

Watch Ratatouille, the next Pixar production about a rat wanting to be a chef. I wasn't expecting much from the movie, but found it enjoyable in the end. It was funny, and original in some ways.

Last on today's event was the dinner at a place called Bokchoy Tang. Truth be told, the place is classy to say the least, but the food is mostly suited to the western taste Chinese food. The quality of the dishes are actually quite nice, but the servings size is another matter. It was small. I know Japanese dishes are small, but these are smaller.... and more expensive. I guess it's nice to try out everything, and I emphasize try. Because I know I'll never come to this place ever again.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Meet a bunch of interesting religious people who worship not Gods, but principals of multiple religions at a friend's place, which doubles as the gathering place for these people.

"Interesting" is probably not the right word, but definitely friendly. However, as friendly as they are, I have no intention to forgo what I have believed in for pretty much my entire life. I have my freedom to follow a religion that I choose, and so do they, but there is no way they can 'convert' me into one of their followers.

Besides, I have no intention to 'defect' to another religion any time soon.

Day dreaming

For some reason, this week has been quite a mental mess. Maybe it's the thoughts of thinking about the same thing over and over again that's draining all the energies from me. Sleeping late is not helping either.

I am a person with many thoughts bouncing around inside my head all at once. There is a lot of 'what if's....' in my thoughts. I can mentally picture a scenario of just about everything over and over again, each time with a different result.

The better word for it is 'day dreaming'.

***

Pre bowled for bowling today. Crap, crap score. Only beat my average once (out of the three games I played). Just couldn't get the ball to land where I wanted it. The lane was dry as well, that made the ball hook sooner than usual, and with my slow ball, it just hooked too much too soon. Never seemed to hit the head pin.

Will have to wait for the rest of the team to bowl tomorrow to see whether I sit out the next week or not. If I do sit out the week, it kind of plays in my hand, 'cause I do want to plan something. If I don't, I guess it'll have to make do on Sunday. Who knows.

Another big week next week.
