Was supposed to do cardio and then meet Desmond in the evening but my nose was getting a bit runny (bordering on sneezing) and my head was feeling groggy and feverish. Hence, I decided to come home early to rest. Reached home at about 6 pm. Came home quite early yesterday too to watch Da Chang Jin.

Realised that it’s actually quite a nice drama series even though it is a bit long and draggy – 60 episodes in all! Don’t think the actors and actresses are very good looking but I like the cultural element. They always have these introductions before the programme starts about Korean/Chinese histories - which are closely linked.

I’ve always been kinda slow in developing my interest for dramas. Channel 8 has already finished showing the series and now Channel U is doing a re-run. It was the same for Meteor Garden which I only started watching about a year after it came out. I was in Perth then. I can easily get addicted to Taiwanese/Japanese/Korean dramas when I can afford the time so it’s a good thing that I’m usually quite busy. Dramas can be such a waste of time. But I like :o)

Nowadays, my brother is usually using the internet when I’m home so I don’t get to blog so often anymore. What I’ll do is I’ll write whenever I feel like it and then copy and post entries when I get the chance using the day and time as my title.

Got somewhat bored just now watching TV and reading and I realised how long it has been since I felt that way. Amazing. I’ve always (since I started working as a trainer) had things to do. Things to keep me busy and my mind away from food. Have been snacking a lot lately – on mooncakes and other junk – and I think I’m in danger of turning into a pig. What shall I do about my piggy nature? Need to run more to compensate for those extra calories...

Anyway, in the midst of my boredom, I recalled one of my main motivations for coming into the fitness industry and it was – to free up my time so I can write. Ha Ha... so here I am – writing.

Writing used to be something I wanted to do so much. Somehow my passion for it has fizzled out along with my passion for dance. Firstly, I don’t have much time. And secondly, I guess I realised that I am really quite mediocre in these areas and obviously not good enough to do anything with my writing and dancing. That's life... You don't always get what you desire.

Madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
