Sometimes you just can’t do the things you want to do

Especially in the game of pool… ok fine… just about everything basically. It was a rather interesting friday for me. Last night I deleted my porn. All of it. It was high time I got rid of it. its a pity I didn’t realize earlier that it can cause damage to future love relationships. And… it probably slowed my laptop down like crazy. It was hanging every 2-3 mins. Anyway… it was an interesting morning because I woke up earlier, and I started my day with a prayer… just after a couple of sentences, my mum came in and offered to drive me to work cos she rented a car. pretty good start to the day.

There’d been some issues at work… ran out of 3-ply paper for the invoices and delivery orders… and the supplier was supposed to deliver today. But apparently their machine broke down, so we had to go plan B, which is normal A4 paper… luckily, there wasn’t any need to print invoices so it didn’t really cause too much trouble. There were some orders that were really cocked up, couldn’t key into the system, and previously our supplier shipped an expired radioisotope… its just friggin irritating. I also cocked up by forgetting to pass an antibody to my delivery guy before lunch, he had to come back and go all the way down to NTU to deliver. Ended up after work, couldn’t get in touch with the customer that needed that antibody… called like 3 times never answer, sms also never reply… felt damn guilty, and seriously pissed off. Already told the customer that delivery will be made after 5.30pm…. thankfully the customer’s colleague popped up and could sign off the delivery order and my delivery guy could go back without having to come back again a 2nd time. As for the cocked up orders managed to resolve them after some effort.

TGIF because I finally met up with JL for a sparring session at GF billiards. Started off extremely shaky… was missing the simplest shots and couldn’t even string 3 shots in a row… even with ball in hand. Lost the first set to him, but 2nd set played slightly better. Started to calm myself down, and realized that when I wasn’t nervous, the shot performed exactly what I intended for… which was very good because there’ve been times I get so nervous and affected by my previous bad shots that it sucks away my confidence… now I’m starting keep my composure and generate my own rhythm, which is really quite key to playing well. I almost broke clear just now… missed the bloody 9 ball… arrghh… it was a very difficult rack to clear from the start and I shot everything correctly and even placed the cue ball nicely for a straight 9 ball pot… and I missed… ARRGGGHHH…. anyway I still won the last set by a big margin… quite lucky cos JL missed a few shots on the 9 ball, he did all the work and i just pot the 9… =p

After the game, caught up a bit with EM and found out that THE WORLD POOL CHAMPION RONNIE ALCANO was coming to GF tomorrow at 3pm!!!!!!

EM even asked us if we want to have a race with him (pay min $50 just to play a race to 5), which was such a rare chance in a lifetime… There was an actual chance to play against the World Champion!!!

But sadly… I had already made plans for tomorrow. Was going to RN’s place to help out, and supposed to go for a swim and get a good tan, and go for service. Goodness I think I must be damn stupid to do all that and miss the chance to play with Ronnie Alcano. However… I don’t have $50… I’ve been so broke this month after getting the Creative noise cancellation earphones and 2 cues… *faint… for the next month, I really have to discipline myself to keep to my planned budget, which always gets messed up by the 2nd week of the month…

Sometimes life can be quite funny… you really can’t do all the things that you want to at the same time. Frankly, I don’t feel that hard up about missing the chance to play with the world champion… of course i’ll admit its a waste… but a few years back, I actually played with a professional 3-cushion player before. Basically simply trashed… he was so skilled in finding angles and getting prime position for shots every time. Of course…. a world champion would give a completely different feeling but… aiyah I am broke lah! *sad* But say if I wasn’t broke, would it be right to skip service and break a promise in order to play against a world champion? Not just any promise… but a promise to God? It really depends… at this moment, probably its not His will that I will play against Alcano… cos I’m just dead broke, and I already promised to be at service on Sat and cell group on Sun…

Plan to get a new soft case next month as my current case seems too bulky, and soft cases have lots of compartments to put more stuff. And I need to get at least 2 new pairs of jeans, and a pair of smart casual shoes. 7% GST starts from 1 July! If you notice, 7% GST on the 7th mth in 2007… *long pause of silence*

And… I still crave for Crystal Jade crispy seafood noodles, Vongole from Amici, and a hearty steak meal. All these… cost $$$… which is the reason why my money disappears at the blink of an eye…

Going for a medical assessment next Thurs at TTSH, to find out if my eyes are suitable to undergo lasik treatment. Hopefully turns out positive. Need God to help out with that one…

Oh… and err.. I cancelled my friendster account.
