Dream on
Dreams... never had one that is still so clear in my mind.
dreamed that daniel chong got a Dahon Foldable Bicycle, and announced on facebook that he got one, via the status update. Heck, he even changed the profile picture as well.

Moving on
Another two of my friends bit the dust... and it looks like one more is going to go too.
Other than Ultimate at SIM, i do not know what best to get together with them.
I weep inside, in sorrow. Maybe I really didn't get to know them enough.

Why quit Ultimate?
It breaks my heart, and this is something I will never understand.
Why quit Ultimate?
This is the third girl friend who I know, that has personally declared hands off her disc.
You can play Ultimate. It does not need to be very competitive, where you have to get fit to play ultimate, not playing ultimate to get fit. If league and varsity training is not your thing, there are always pickup games!
Unless the main motivation is not disc, then I cannot see why you would quit it altogether. It can be a very fun sport even if you cannot run that fast, or catch that well.
This is very discouraging, especially for me as a non-club ultimate player in singapore.
You don't have to be a in club/varsity/team to play ultimate.
You don't have to keep fit just to play ultimate.
You are in control of your life. I can't force these stuff down your throat, but please, take my advice if you see this.

Touching words from an ex-teammate
Last Saturday, Ben Ho met up with the guys for beach pickup at Sentosa. On the way back, we decided to take a taxi, because I can make a claim for it, and we live quite near each other.
The talk went quite well, until Ben talked me up about going back to club training.
He was saying that my level of play was quite ok, and my reading of the game situation is quite good during pickup.
Ben has always been giving honest opinions whenever possible. I take it as a compliment.
I know that I've been avoiding this topic for a while now... but I have been staying off clubs whenever I can. I mean, which club would want me? There are better players, and that's what they want.
If I want to run hard, it is because I love to, not because the club wants me to. Sure... this way, the club will improve the players...
Maybe I just don't like to be overly submissive to something I don't like to do. In this case, I'm a really lazy man.
If I were to do such things, I'll rather do it with a group of people who can share their joy/sadness with me. Someone who is willing to go through thick and thin together. Someone who knows to better themselves, rather than have themselves being pushed.
Maybe this is the barrier that Ben has been talking about.
Why did I break my ACL before my first Singapore Open with my poly friends? It is a point in time which I still regret, and as everybody knows, you can't turn back time. D:

Expletives
I don't know what spurred me to say the F-word.
I know it was directed at myself... but it obviously doesn't look like it.
All i know is that I have no idea the other party was fuming about this incident, but I'm here affected by this one event.
Really damn stress to play yesterday, even though it was meant to be just fun.

For a moment
I'm seriously dead beat on being just a spectator during league.
Especially Women's League.
:D

Cobwebs for a year
Awesome.... I have cobwebs for a year... I wonder why. not as bad as Derek Wong though... that means I really have a life... like him, or I'm too lazy.
I really lost the passion to blog... there is no more reason.... with so many social websites up and humongous loads of content on the web.
Facebook is one, Digg is another, and finally, the source of manga, OneManga, and anime, Anime-Media.
But I think I have one thing to announce after so long.
"I do love disc. But the pace is so fast... I just won't last."
My lower body joints are all creaking... and my left ankle is irritating me like hell.
Maybe I'll get my weight down to the 90s, and give it a try again.
But for now, it's just aerobics and careful eating... and the rat race.
Maybe add in a little throwing and watching of disc.
Then again... I have some topics to write about since I'm in on this. But I know once I put it down, it'll take a while to take it up again.

Failed my paper
Shocked beyond words.
I failed my paper.
My math is good, but calculating probabilities with lecturer that blabber on and on without explanation just doesn't get it to my head.
40%.
Now I have to appeal and hope for the best.
Funny, I somehow remember a friend of mine who wanted to jump off from a building because I couldn't do his assignment. Now this friend is on the way to graduation.

Vestige of the Birthday Bike.
It just had to happen.
I have been replacing parts on my bicycle until almost all of it got changed, save for the frame, suspension, lights, and the dérailleur.
Yeah. I changed a lot of stuff on the birthday bike. Changed the wheels for slicks for speed, pedals to SPDs for more power, rear rim 'cos it broke, seat post and seat for it got broken, and after that, stolen, brakepads as it wore out, front gear as it got bent, crankshaft as it got loose. And it got to the point so frustrating that I just had to do it.
I transfered my wheels, rear cassette, lights to Cheryl's bike, and threw the rest away.
There were some parts that were salvageable (seat post, seat, handlebar, stand, crankshaft), but I had to throw the rest away.
It's very sad.
Now I'm really thinking of getting a hybrid bike to get around, as Cheryl's bike frame is too small for me. Bike experts have warned that my seat post is really vulnerable to breaking into two without me knowing it.
600-1000 bucks.... saving it up...
