welcome
No one ever followed his genius til it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say
that the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such
that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry,
more immortal,--that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The
greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them.
They are the highest reality....the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints
of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
--Henry David Thoreau

profile
There are two words to describe me: 'atheistic' and 'cynical'.
Anything else, you'll have to find out by yourself.
Don't like it, sue me.
And that's the awful truth.

Today was kinda fun. Cleo, Rachael and I went to Jurong Swimming Complex and enjoyed the waters. I left at about 9am, waited for them for a while, then we took a bus there. Usually I take an MRT to Chinese Garden, but, well, at least I tried something new today. I haven't been to Jurong Swimming Complex in quite a while, like a few years, and going there gave me a small feeling of nostalgia. We used to buy budgerigars (is that how you spell that?) there, though they all either died or flew away. Anyway, the swimming complex there is quite fun. They have a wave pool, a 'lazy river', three humongous slides, a kiddy water playground, a jacuzzi, and finally, you standard pool. Cleo swam a few laps first, then we went on the lazy river. We rented two tubes to go on the slides; Rachael was too scared as they were 'too high'. After that, we went to the wave pool, where Rachael 'almost drowned' since she's so short, like 1.4m or something. There was this spray thing, and the water was icy cold, but it was so fun. Rachael hated it though because it was too cold for her and it made her teeth chatter. Cleo and Rachael were in the tubes, and I was 'chauffeuring' them around because they were so incompetent that they couldn't move at all, especially Rachael with her short arms. Oh and by the way, just to clarify, I CAN swim... contrary to popular belief it seems. And i swim a whole lot better that Rachael too. Then we played a little more and went to eat at KFC/Pizza Hut (same restaurant). Cleo ate mini Pizza, and Rachael kept trying to steal the cheese. Rachael and I ate an O.R. fillet burger meal though I ordered cheese fries to go with it. Rachael stole my cheese fries too, so I took her Pepsi. Then we went to Jurong Library and attempted to find the damn books we were supposed to do a book review about, but failed miserably. I tried to look for Sparks or Stephen Kings' Different Season. Its a collection of short stories, and there's this particular one that I really want to read. Its called 'Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption' Really good read. After that we went to Jurong Centre, where Cleo and Rachael TRIED to get me to take neoprints, but it turned out they didn't have enough money. Woohoo for me. Thank goodness. We looked at some second-hand books but they were too old and boring. Then we each took our separate ways and headed home. All in all, it was quite an eventful day.
