Bloody Money

Won another $1,500 from the presentation on Friday. The question is how the money is going to trickle down to my lowly pocket. I am definitely in the red every month. Take in about $400, go out at least $400-500. Transport costs at least $120 a month, and estimating $10 for food and drink a day, that pops the $400 already.

But red is good, I like bright colors. Bought 5 pairs of shorts, 2 of them colorful ones. Yay. In view of tennis, I need sports shorts that have several pockets. By the way, "regular" tennis this Saturday might not happen, unless we find other courts. Seems like Friday will be a big PSC gathering for psychometric test.

Medication is expensive, but of course (why of course?) not as expensive as in the US. Got discharged by the liver specialist today, my seroconversion seems to be stable (since about January this year), so she thinks I can be managed by polyclinic (until complications develop). Tried to go to the Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic but managed to arrive only at 4:30pm, which happens to be the time they close.

Saw my granny yesterday, they shouldn't have taken so much of her brain out... she would probably be much more herself now if they had realized it was a stroke sooner, and operated earlier. Oh well, what to do.

Need to prepare some static display for the exhibitions for MINDEF PRIDE Day. I think a screenshot of the VBA code would be neat. Apart from the necessary, prosaic description of the program, of course.

Went on a shopping spree with Jasper on Sunday. He bought a new line of T-shirts, so he'll look different from now on. He also bought socks and shoes. I bought shorts, as I mentioned above.

Ran on Saturday, did 14.5 min for 2.4km, my excuse is that played tennis with Eugene on Friday night so legs were tired. Whenever we go and run, I see a lot of people with hockey sticks, I guess because we run on Saturday at SPE and then go someplace nearby for drinks. Nowadays the sticks look very high tech.

Jiahao's unreserved apology is accepted! It's all over the news. It made "News 5 Tonight". Don't laugh, this is a serious, adult matter. Words matter, phraseology matters, nuances, tone, inflection and intention are not to be taken lightly. People will think you are sincere if you take care to mirror back their words to them. You are what you see.

I don't like milk chocolate but I love chocolate milk. There is some pain in my left knee, sorta like a dull ache, since tennis on Saturday. I had the best Mee Goreng ever at the Bishan S-11, at the vegetarian stall. It was top-class, spicy and full-flavored, sedap! I give it 5 thumbs up.

I wanted, since Saturday, to write something about how humans are highly sexualized creatures, and about sexual urges and victimless crimes (an oxymoron). But now it's late and I'm tired. And it's Monday already. It really looks like there won't be a poem from me for a while...
