Went for a 20km, around 3 hours trekking with zhixiong, monkey sis and mikyung on sunday. Is really interesting to see the different attire people wear for trekking especially when i see some wear office attire(yes, shirt and long pants) and traditional costume. Is just not logical to me, haha.
Also went to night safari and it turn out to be better than i expect. The animal show is interesting not because of the animal performance but rather the MC was quite comical. Is really challenging to train those wild animals for these show because you wont know what kind of stun they will do for every show. But is rather expensive, S$32 per person. The food there is really ex... around 4 times more than market price, haha.
Went to national library in bugis last week and i saw an interesting caption. When asked if this politician is afraid of death, he reply something like this "No, i am not afraid of death but rather how i am going to die. what are the things that i am going to leave behind, how did i contribute to this society and what am i going to be remembered for?"
传种接代(correct word?, haha) and earning enough money to support own family is most people's aim but i hope to do more than just these. So how am i going to contribute to this society?
Approached someone to sponsor mindsports festival and he agreed. Took alot of courage to ask him because we are not really closed and i seldom see him. Hope to get good news from him.

Saw a weiqi movie in Golden Village few days back.
Is not "THE GO MASTER" lar, thats outdated, haha.
Is call "Ju-On white ghost black ghost"
isnt that a good advertisement for weiqi? Maybe we can get someone to cosplay the ghost during mindsports festival and "she" will help us give out brochure. Good idea right?
Last week in bugis, i saw a dad teaching his son weiqi. They are beginner so they want to have a feel on a actual board. But the dad is holding the stone in a wrong way. Normally we hold the stone with our middle finger on top of our index finger. But he hold the stone with the index finger on top of middle finger.
I mean how do you even play comfortably in that posture? I saw a few players play that way too, deepest impression was jing wei (very long din see him le, studying i think). At first i was so amazed of how wrongly and ugly his posture was when putting a seed on the board, i was even worrying that he might fractured his fingers or have a huge cramp in his fingers but no, it din happen.
After a few months i could not resist but ask him how on earth can he hold a stone that way and doesnt he feel cramp after a game? And he reply he is used to it, haha.

went sentosa today with wenjun, minyi and mikyung. last time i went was last year with the koreans from ings cup. We went to beach, took the luge n skyride and they went to underwater world. I din join them for the underwater cause i went before and it cost really ex, around 22 bucks.
So while they were queuing up for the underwater world ticket, i saw this snake stall. U know the kind where u pay 6bucks and you get to take pictures with some huge snake with your OWN camera. The more i look at the owner of the stall the more i feel that he is abusing the snakes. Imagine him handing the snakes recklessly and he treat them like toys, putting his bag on the snake n so on. I am not a huge fan of snakes but is just not the way to treat them.
also went to the resort world and universal studio (entrance area). is really nice there but stuff are so ex. n ticket for the universal studio are all sold out!! isit really that fun? most people just take picture with the huge revolving globe outside the entrance.
went to bugis to take some brochure for active aging carnival. then wanted to go bishan. So after i alight from city hall, i should just cross over and take the red line to bishan. BUT one small tiny part of my brain tell me to go down one level n take the green line. So i happily went down and board the green line train n suddenly i realise i am in the train BACK TO BUGIS... well done.. i must be the dumbest person on planet earth in that few minute.
Went to marina for bowling this morning with army frends as a form of celebration for bryan ord. Think the last time i bowl was 1 year ago. Wanted to learn bowling but could not find the time.
Went to Manhattan fish market for lunch and the fish n chips is not bad plus the staff there are really good.
After that went to golden mile with some army frends to book tour to genting. All of us dying to try the texas poker in genting, haha. Really cheap, cost only 88, includes bus, hotel and breakfast.
Went to a cafe in city link to spend my time before meeting exco for dinner. Cant believe i read weiqi book there without feeling sleepy. Normally when i read weiqi book i will feel like sleeping immediately, hmmm..maybe is too quiet i guess.
Went to jang shou restaurant for dinner with exco as a form of welcoming mikyung. Food was really good but i guess i order alittle too much. Was more ex than i thought.
Then we brought her to visit our dear merlion...
Lazy to post pic here, facebok load faster.
ok, we will be bringing her to sentosa tmr, hope is going to be fun.
So many things to settle recently...
