Today I co-organised my first PS gathering at our MND karaoke lounge... The turnout was surprisingly quite decent; and the delifrance mini pastries and Jpops (Mini versions of donuts from J.Co -- My co-organiser commented maybe they are the "holes" from donuts "recycled" into another marketable product) were quite popular! Hmm, unfortunately order too little food and I didn't really get to eat what I bought... Maybe I shld order a box of Jpops for myself one day hehe. They are really quite cute and bite-size. I suppose the snacks matched the largely-girly crowd's taste buds... Which leads me to my next point..

That the crowd at MND is so much younger as compared to HDB. We recently seem to get at least one "sweet young thing" a week. That aside, for once most ppl seem about my age, except for the bosses. Gone are the days when lunchtime talk revolved around kids falling sick and kids gg to sch :P But only rewind a bit lah, colleagues talk abt getting married and getting their own place... I suppose that's still more befitting for my age than all the nursing/rearing kids talk ;)

Still gymless...

The gymless me decided to try out Fitness First at Capital Tower yesterday evening... And i spent close to an hour fighting imaginary enemies in a Bodycombat (something like kickboxing) class yesterday evening, tog with like a ton of other adrenaline-charged sweaty companions... Though class was not bad and quite a good workout, somehow the crammed studio and high density of fellow exercising humans put me off quite a bit... So after session I decided to sneak off before the sales executives come bugging me to sign up for a package. Alas! The careless me left her driving licence behind (had to exchange id for locker key) and had to go back today to pick it up... Luckily I only had to listen to sales pitch for less than 10 minutes. I suppose I appeared clearly disgusted with the unreasonably high 'membership entrance fee' and 'admin charges'. Why would anyone in the right mind pay $500 to become a member at the gym. Though it's currently slashed to $9, such a ridiculous marketing gimmick failed to work on me...

So I'm still gym-less... The "informal" bike club i joined havent open shop leh... heh :P

Clueless

Once in a while, I'd lapse into the what should-I-do-with-my-life mode. But nothing never really happens in the end. I'm too inertia-ed to act on my whims. I'd frequently think abt this nagging question after reading an article abt some inspiring personality who has made some v admirable/remarkable contributions towards the poor/ needy in some developing country. But then I'd soon forget all about it till the next inspiring role model interrupts my status-quo-life again. And it's a vicious cycle- little ideas well up in my head, and these waves of intended action recede and disappear soon enough, traceless... And before I know it, I let trivial worries take up my attention and sap up energy to seriously think about bigger goals in life.

I need a breakthrough of sorts! What is there for me to pioneer! On hindsight, I cannot help but think what the Z&C gang once said abt me is rather true - i'm the half-boiled sort... where's the determination to follow thru?
