headache in gym, and other stories.

some people have asked me to update, and i understand now that by update, pp usually dont mean posts like 'the fall of practical reason.' ok, point taken.. so here's a slice of my life lately.. :)

went to the gym today with my friends, and my head started aching each time i did a set. (no, i didnt let the weights drop on my head.) somehow i still managed to do 6 different exercises and survived till dinner (albeit thru a spectacular failure of the triceps)... during which i couldnt enter the conversation properly till i went to the provision shop nearby and bought some panadol.. thank God it got better.

well dinner was at a ghim moh coffeeshop with pasta from a former restaurant-chef - this place is one of our usual haunts after gymming or running. so i got salmon alfredo (w/ added pasta) today, one of the favorites, but somehow e headache took away half the enjoyment. and i didnt have the appetite to move on to our usual kaya toast, which has the distinction of being the best kaya toast out of our 5 usual haunts (clementi central, ghim moh (1) - this place, ghim moh (2), sunset way and dover rd).

anyway, it seems like TCC doesn't want me. they haven't got back to me yet after initially offering me the job - seems like after they learnt that i'd probably be committed only for 2 months, they got less than enthusiastic about e prospects of hiring a philosophy masters grad... wat discrimination! haha. looks like i'll have to stick to doing my next SMU assignment for now..(and get paid more!).. and i thought that i could try something veri different for once..

and lastly, really thank God for the roundtable interview i went last week. didnt know wat to expect, but it went ok in the end. the pp there seemed genuinely interested in their jobs and in public service (with an emphasis on service).. 2 days later i got confirmation for the next round, a long way off in jan next year. but i'll leave it to God how everything goes, and whether im really suitable for the admin service..

so tt's a slice of life. and it's not a veri delicious slice too, partly cos im suffering from a paucity of nice sounding words and inspired phrases to use amidst my tiredness. perhaps better sleep will yield a livelier post next time..
