a little burned

today's the second time me and the guys played a little basketball for this week.
havent shoot a ball for so long, but it's comforting to know you never lose some skills.
although all other skills kinda degraded along with my stamina, strength and dexterity, especially when my left wrist is still hurting after 2 weeks.
i could still remember being in the process of blacking out within the first 5 minutes of the game the previous time tuesday.
my vision was blurring, i could feel my breath tightening.
the sensation that if i push myself any further, i would pass out literally, on the court, under 5 minutes.
i'm not sure on average how many times a person would experience this unique sensation.
but it's definitely not a positive experience.
can't rmb how many times i have felt this before, probably a couple of times when i was still a young boy in police cadet uniform, standing there proudly, and palely, in the parade square.
badminton? i knew a few times i would push myself, but hardly ever got to the stage whereby my brain suddenly get deprived of blood supply.
this probably happened because my heart hasnt been conditioned to pumping blood all round the body and i didn't do much warm up beforehand.
i tried to outsmart my rusty body by injecting myself with milo. it worked. haha..

i'm a little burned, the heat from the sun seemed more intense than it was on tues.
but it was fun.
we would have played a little longer if not for our burned face.
and i should get my left wrist fixed.

i've officially signed the paper which binds me to DSO as their employee on 14th Nov.
and had rejected both MFS and MND offers.
now i'm just waiting for the medical and security to clear and i'm well on my way into the working society that all of us are so eager to enter when we're finding employment, but would be dreading it once we're in it.
i have around a month left to be in the stage between "I'm employed!' and "I'm free!".
it's a pretty good feeling
but i think i need to find something useful to do in order to continue feeling good.
helping my parents paint the living room is one.
i might decide to paint my room too.
getting some personal projects done would be ideal too.
but most imptly still, getting my left wrist fixed.

this evening i spent 2 hours "walking" my terrapin around the house.
sometimes it would follow me walk away
other times it would just try to wiggle into some small spaces which after it would be trapped.
maybe it's not trapped, but i kept 'saving' it anyway.
for the 11 years that it has been staying with my family, i think my family really grew accustomed to it.
while i was 'walking' it around, i realized my sister would use her leg to scare it a bit, stepping it lightly, sprinkling water on it.
my mum, when she went to bathe, who pick it up and put it back into its tank.
it makes me wonder if i could just let loose my terrapin around the house, make a container which it can access to with water and food.
with that, the whole house could the my terrapin's playground.
as compared to facing the 4 walls in the container, it's a much better environment to live, especially when it has such a long 'shell-life'.
just an idea, but i dont think it's practical.
probably a restricted area instead of the whole house.

yn is busy preparing for her exams in 2 weeks time.
yet here i am, having so much time in my hands.
it's a pity, but at least i know we would probably have maybe a week or less which both of us are free and we could go and do some stuff which i have been thinking about.
it's all those activities which we have talked about before but didn't have the chance to do them yet.
well, for now i'll just have to wait patiently until her papers are over.
so, jiayou yn!
score lots of As!

by the way, FRIENDS blu-ray has been released and i'm wondering whether to get it or not.
or should i purchase the season DVD which have the footage that was not broadcast.
hmm.. or does the blu-ray version has the same thing?
i downloaded a few from season 1 to watch.
well it looks much brighter.
and they still make me laugh out out literally even though i might have watched it over 3 times.

haven't been mj-ing much lately.
been about 2 weekends since i touched the tiles and shouted PONG
had a bet the other day with yn.
she said i'm always losing in mj.
and i'm out to prove her wrong.
hopefully.
hahaha...
