this morning, a stranger made my day by telling me "keep it up!". why? cos it came from a total stranger in the bus. even people close to me don't tell me that. ohh.. you meant why he said THAT to me? i was reading a book. in the morning on the way to work, i read a book. saiful bought me this wonderful book by catherine lim and i haven't been able to put it down, just yet. so, it was really nice to hear something so positive like that, first thing in the morning. i was so glad, i could whistle to myself. well, some ah-pek must have heard my mind and DID whistle. i mean, what a way to be happy. the man could clap his hands to say he's happy... but i think whistling will do just fine. especially in a crowded bus in the morning.
i read with quite a bit of interest on euthanasia. no lah, nothing intellectual about it. i just love the way the word sounds.. euthan-asia. i hope i don't have to be in that kind of position ever to consider EUTHANASIA on my family members. that's why, singapore is smart! don't get involve in such blurry lines. i mean, even if someone does it, doctors or family members, nobody will know what.. you don't ask, you don't know. but ah.. singapore is very concerned about people spreading AIDS. that one is different. you can be jailed for getting HIV ok.. wah lau.. i don't know about you but i think it's just their god damn business if they want to contract such a deadly disease. i mean, flu is easily passed on to another person also.. same with chicken pox.. so, should we sue them too? should we put them to jail? ok ok.. maybe the comparison is not strong enough.. but you get the drift?
am going back to my gym regime after a long break. i was just lazy caught up with lotsa things like the great TV work. i didn't realise how much i really missed that sweaty and sauna-fied moments on the treadmills until i saw some cute guys my buldging tummy. it's so getting out of hand now, i tell you. also, going with him is a good thing cos with a partner, i tend to push myself a bit more.. cos i am competitive comfortable with him around. so, gym gym here i am.
i am in such a deep shit cos i have yet to file in my income tax. the machine keep talking to me when i call 1800-i-need-help. i wonder what they will do if i don't file them. put me in jail? oh wait.. that's not the singapore way. the way here is when you're in wrong, pay money to clear your name.
