Diversifying Ruined

Are you risk-averse or risk-aggressive?

I met up with my MysteryMSNFriend for our weekly jog cum dinner. Sky was filled with red clouds signifying high probability of raining. We figured we have 2 choices.

A: Jog our usual route; that means running the risk of being shelter-less when downpour begins. (Risk aggressive)
B: Jog around a small little park with shelter being less than 5 meter away. (Risk averse)

We chose to have our hokkien mee and bee hoon immediately.

Just kidding, we still managed to do a respectable 15min jog before our legs started to weigh a tonne.

Had a great night with my poly friends with dinner at Chomp Chomp followed by some drinking session at Liquid Kitchen. And when this group of friends gather, what other thing better to do than gambling? albeit not with money this time round. This is the group when together, we play mahjong, poker cards especially texas holdem, dices etc to the extend of buying mahjong table, poker chips. Only thing left is probably visiting the casino as we figured out instead of money going towards the evil corporate, wouldn't it be better if the money is rotated among ourselves?

Don't be mistaken, we are a bunch of beer guys. Just once in a blue moon, we tried wine (I believe it was our first wine bottle together). And thanks to Jits for sending everyone of us back and poor him have to drink full glass of water instead of alcohol for punishment when playing games.

P.S My previous post was left intentionally blank because it was what it was....blank for the whole day.

Watched IP Man 2, definitely a must-watch show. Last scene leaves guessing whether there would be IP Man 3 with Bruce Lee as a disciple. However, I read from Wikipedia that IP Man accept Bruce when the former was 70 years old. So I guess even if there would be a part 3, the focus will not be on Donnie Yen anymore.

Finally manage to kick some ball after months of inactivity. Stamina dropped tremendously as I was seen grasping for air and running at snail pace in the first half. I would want to believe that it was actually due to the humid weather (Bella always said I live in denial)

Went to Serangoon Gardens for breakfast with mum before getting going to pet shop to get some canned food for her dog.

Rest of the afternoon was spent sleeping and watching Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore.

Wanted to go for a jog but realised that the after effects of yesterday's swim and jog - after 2 months of inactivity - was too much for me. Hopefully it will recover fast to let me swim tomorrow.

Lets see what did I accomplish today after months of studying.

- Woke up at 10am, attempt to ghost my current windows image. Notebook auto shut down half way through; failed.

- Went for a swim at 11am upon seeing the sun. Reached the pool, swam a few laps with the sun appearing 10% of the time. Got out of pool when I saw droplets from the sky. Went out of the swimming complex only to see the sun back out scorching hot again; as if mocking at me, failed.

- Reach home not long before meeting Patrick for lunch downstairs as he just finished his morning paper.

- Came back home and attempted to ghost again but fail, went on to install win7 direct. After few tries (few tries = few hours), managed to install the x64 version but realised my webcam driver is not working. Installed the x86 version instead and it works. Everything went on smoothly until... I plug in my earphone; only to realise that the youtube video is still playing...with the sound from speaker, failed. Install back winxp after 7 hours of experimenting.

- Went for a jog after like 2 months? Brought along my shuffle too as I was jogging alone (usually I will jog with my MysteryMSNFriend. Just when I was raring to go, I realise the shuffle doesn't power up, failed.

- Thought I could do some 30min jog for a start, only to see myself panting like a dog after 15min. Literally...like a dog...you know.. crawling on four no joke. If you think I am exaggerating......you are probably right.
