taking up new activities and ending others

life has been pretty boring and mundane as usual. work has been a bitch with the supervisor's steel eyes on me every now and then; with me finding every chance to slack and steal more time for lunch; with me going to work approx 15 mins late everyday and trying to sneak in surrepticiously (?) into the office through the back door so that *she* won't notice.

haha... fun... i wouldn't be too surprised if i'm sacked someday... happy even. but, oh wait, they still need us to do the sk* in the understaffed department.

anyway, i recently started a new activity - learning taekwondo from scratch. haha. it's pretty fun actually. although i kind of wish that the training could be more strenous. learning taekwondo amongst numerous small little kids with 'weird' thinking is simply interesting, kind of nostalgic as i return to my childhood social circle of 'ren xiao gui da's 

but right now i can't really understand their thinking and their concept of funny. is that something to be happy about because i'm maturing or sad because i'm losing my innocence and naivety. but i think i know why there are generation gap and misunderstood kids who think adults are too stupid and snobbish to understand them.

i'm starting from white belt... which is simply... a hard feeling to describe. as i watch late teenagers my age being assistant teachers and giving the class, including me, instructions to follow. since the class was filled majority with young kids, i can't help but feel insulted when i was being talked to like a child as the assis tchers my age instruct the class. but what's one to do. i was the one who decided to take up twd at such a late age.

oh yah, my intro class to french to going to end soon, with a test next week to end off the course with a boom. and my french is still very canto. cute...

i'm also trying to push myself to bake... before i move into the new house with the teeny weeny kitchen which probably could not even fit in an oven. argh.

anyway, photos for the week(s):

Breaking dawn looks extremely pretty with the moon and star sparkling opposite the sun.



Making my strawberry swissroll



ok i will leave the others for the following weeks. haha

* ps for those who don't understand my lingo: sk = saikang - shitty work, crap, load of shit
