Its all in the Mind

Woah! what a day! off well spent i must say! Yes, it burns my off very early in the month (i just earned it in on Sept 1st!) But after all that was done today, it was worth it!

Started of with a morning at East Coast Park. First had breakfast at Changi Village, too bad its ramadan, so many of the shops are closed, but still a decent breakfast. Then East Coast Park for a bit of biking!

GkuGku, and Heng Woon was with My family (MomDad, Mat and I) but the main bit of biking was with the family. i think we made it quite far, past Tanah Merah i believe, about 10km from the end? the but was a little sore, and after yesterday's run, the upper thighs are kinda tight, but good fun, and talking as we rode was a good chance to make plans and discuss stuff.

Back home for a quick shower, and out for Lunch at The Mind Cafe! I think games are the one thing that my family has in common. i'm kinda sick of the same old movie or meal with the family, so decided to spice things up a little with a trip to The Mind Cafe, for a good game fix!

The games were absolutely awesome. The family is a great bunch to play games with, and 4 people is the perfect number of players for alot of the games.

played a good mix of fast games and one nice long one, a train game, haha forgot the name... still, it was good bonding, and we can make plans to go there again for another family outing next time!

After spending a good 4 hrs there, we went to meet Godma and Aunty Aileen at the Balestier indian restaurant place. we've been before, but this is Mom's first time. Dinner was good, slightly better than the last time actually. but everytime i come, i get overstuffed >.< gah, this does not bode well for our weight watcher...

i think there's something about the conversations with Godma, but it somehow turns to me and how 'hardworking' i am, or rather, am not >.< Mom would build her frustrations about how light and frivolous i seem to be, while i try to defend that i've got to be optimistic and hopeful. its a usual struggle. i know what MomDad says is so that i'm not too naive, and am able to handle hardship, but on my end, i can't help but feel that they are being unduly worried.

I understand. i need to change, i need to learn to be more disciplined and train up my cautiousness. Easier said than done, but at least i need to set myself working in the right direction

I intend to work on it while i'm in NS. its the perfect place to learn. Jeremy is what i need to be more like. I need to have more cautiousness, more discipline, and more patient. but i should balance it with my current strengths as well.

I'm worried about my studies still... i don't know if i'll be able to perform the best marks the moment i get into the study system again, but its an effort i will have to make.

gah, i'm not good with this. CANNOT GIVE UP! will work it through. must start today (internal battle being fought, every sentence written is slightly more forceful then what i hear in my head)

haha, schizo! but yes. put my mind to it. its done wonders for my exercise, and hope it will spill over to affect my whole life positively!

Today was a good day! if only all my off days could be like this :D (note: Matthew couldn't handle it though, too much done today, he's quite burnt from all the activities! haha)
