Passion - the Double Edged Sword

Some days i really like being busy,
some days i wish for some idle-ness.

Last week was one of the weeks i did everything.
and now i'm completely drained.

not that the things weren't enjoyable.
went swimming with Poot for the first time.
and got caught by with jen's condo security guard.

we swam a few laps, then gossipped for a long while, then swam some more.
pretty fun.

After that we went for some good food at chomp chomp,
and an interesting post dinner walk.

------------------------------------

recently i'm on a juggling high.
i think i juggled 4 times in a week.

had a enjoyable time doing some practice on sun after church.
did my usual thing, then when i got bored, dug out the compedium of club juggling and learnt some new stuff.

Most of the high came from a slight breakthrough in 5 clubs.
it's been FOUR years i think..since i tried 5 clubs and practiced on and off.

i'm beginning to get the "feel" of 5 clubs.
but it comes and goes so let's see how long this one lasts.
that's why need to juggle more while the "feel" is still present.

----------------------------------

After 2 hours of juggling at the esp, i came home, plonked down my things,
and went joggling.

for an hour.

Joggling is jogging while juggling.

it's quite fun. the juggling beat is like a pace setter.
i almost sprained my ankle running off an errant slab of concrete,
in front of a passer-by,
so that was embarassing.

It was so enjoyable,
I joggled another 4km on wednesday,
after coming home half dead from work.

it's funny how 2.4km seems such a dread during school,
and now 4km is just normal.

theoretically i only joggled 2km,
because i couldn't juggle at the straight parts of the track as the floodlights blinded me.
maybe i should do clubs next time.

----------------------------

shepherd dropped by the juggling session on fri and picked up 3 ball juggling.

it reminded me of the little anecdote i shared with darren and of which he enjoyed tremendously.

"I invited some of the juggling guys to this church event right, and BT asked if i was trying to convert more jugglers into christians. i told him no, i want to convert more christians into jugglers."

and then Jiahui came by,
and she brought along her new toy.
A tightrope.
to walk on.

and she went on to harness and tie ropes round the pillars.
you don't see such things everyday.
---------------------------

went for lunch with Harvey yest.
i was gonna wear black for a wedding dinner in the evening so i went for colors to meet him.
but i overdid it and became very bright.

so on the way there i msg-ed him a warning abt my flambuoyant dress code.
and he replied that he didn't drive that day and cycled instead.

so we sort of knew that our dress codes were completely mismatched.

i thought it was kind of funny, and i didn't really care to be honest.
hope he felt the same way.

-----------------------------

the wedding dinner was an outdoor beach event.
i've never attended a beach wedding dinner.

deciding what to wear was tricky,
you can't be too formal, and you can't be too informal.
and heels will get you stuck in the sand and it was a buffet too.

shereen told me to bring 2 sets of clothes then, one formal and one informal,
but i told her pple might mistake me for the bride.

------------------------------

i got to start writing my speech.
power persuasion.

i've stopped for a while because i have no inspiration for this project.

and now getting started again after so long makes it even more difficult.

oh well, gotta start sometime or i'll be stuck here forever.

power persuasion.
power persuasion.

sigh.
