True to expectation, the chem tutor friend i met up with yesterday gave the exact comments about my test paper that i predicted he would. he also said that i was a bad person for setting the paper. looks like i've identified the source of my recent bad karma. well, if the kid gets an A for his upcoming mid-years and next year's o-levels, it'll be worth it. now, let's predict his score for my test. i'll be very happy if he gets 60 and above out of 70, but somehow, the number "45" comes to my mind. i hope that's not an ominous sign.
went for training at the expense of mahjong today. on the best days, it's actually a pretty tough choice to make. at worst, it's a downright nightmare...especially when there are 3 others pressuring you. still, i think i made the right decision to pass over mahjong this time round. for some reason, a lot of seniors showed up today, including the team captain when i was in J1. quite stunning, considering i haven't seen her since she graduated (except for the sporadic visit or two when i was in J2). nice that she remembers me. in addition to her, there were seniors whom i've not seen for even longer periods of time. must have been some amazing coincidence that they all came back today.
so...training was training. did the usual stuff, got a few abrasions mainly around the neck area, and managed to screw my knee up a bit again. nothing serious, but i really really want it to get better soon. will probably have to stop by the chinese physician soon if there's no significant improvement. today's training also made me realize how much i've deteriorated since army days. need to do more to keep fit. running's a bit out of the question now due to the knee and all, so i'll have to switch (temporarily, at least) to something that's lower-impact, like swimming. better get started on it soon, while the motivation levels are high.
managed to catch a ride from one of my friends after training ended, and as a result, i got home in time to watch libera on TV. for those who don't know, they're an all-boys performing choir. the members' ages range from 8 to 14 i think. below are 2 of their videos which i personally like:

so, what did you think? my recent music preference has been leaning to this kind of songs, so that's not all bad i guess. at least it's not death metal or anything creepy like that.
i think i have too much free time on-hand. it's making me think bad thoughts (especially when i'm travelling between destinations/appointments) and generally causing my life to be less happy than it could actually be. arrgh. have to kick that habit. very bad for my health.
latest news...my tuition kid lost the homework i gave him. i am, of course, not amused. in fact, that piece of news spoiled my saturday. oh well. not the first time he's lost something i gave him. there's a thin line between carelessness and irresponsibility, and i am of the opinion that he just crossed it. so now, question is: am i going to be bo-chup and totally forget about it (it's his loss, since he doesn't get to practise), or should i be welfare and print another copy for him? decisions, decisions. we'll see how i feel tomorrow.
meanwhile, i think i'll log off soon for a good night's sleep. maybe that will get rid of today's aches, and improve my mood in time for tomorrow.

-random thought of the day: It's amazing what you can find out if you really bother to look.-
