i cant wait till thursday!
i finally went to buy my bike yesterday!!
now my savings are down to just a few dollars, and my first 3 wks pay at nandos has been wiped on in one swift debit move.
but it doesnt matter....cos i finally have my road bike! woohoo!!
gotta wait till thursday to collect it tho... argh... the wait it so excrutiating! some ppl say that the longer you wait for something, the better it is in the end. sometimes thats just not true! i dont see how waiting longer could possibly make getting the bike any better.
another great bit of news... i might have 2 days off each wk! i was supposed to have wed off initially, with one lecture on tues, but now it looks like the tues lecture might be scrapped or moved to friday morning, which means both tues n wed will be free!! how awesome is that!
going to (yet again) get back to training tonight. this start-stop mentality has to stop if i wanna meet my target of finishing in the top10 club ranking this season. gotta buck up. no pian no gain!

last night by myself
wow. this is quite a milestone. after 1yr 7mths of living alone, tonight is gonna be my last night by myself. my housemate, jeff, is arriving tmr morning. i really dunno wat to expect. havnt lived with anyone b4 (excluding Satiish in bunk). But ive never had to share bills, and rent, and cleaning up. (lets face it, Satiish n i claned up on an annual basis). Gonna be a whole new experience..im kinda nervous about it. But just gotta take it as it comes i guess... part of the overseas experience. After all, it was me who didnt want to live alone anymore.
Work at nandos this wk was much better. Less scolding by the BOSS. haha. i asked for 2 shifts a week (10hrs total) during semester time, but mr. bossman said that he might need me for 3 shifts a week. i said ok. hoping that i can cope. This sem is gonna be busy busy busy, and i dont mean schoolwork. Theres the winter running season thats starting soon, and the first race is late april, so i'll definitely wanna start working towards that. Plenty of Singapore Student Society things to start planning too. During orentation, in a bid to attract new members of the club, we started saying that we organise activites on a fortnightly basis. hahaha. now i have to live up to that promise! we're planning to organise fun runs every wkend, and use that to get away with the "one activity per fortnight" clause. haha. i also joined the cycling club. jeff too. thanks to the nandos job, i finally have enuf money to buy my beloved road bike! weeehoo! yup, so cycling's gonna be every sunday morning. after all that is said and done, i'll try to squeeze a bit or studying somewhere inside.
oh yes and of course 3 hrs each wk is dedicated to one episode of Smallville, LOST and Heroes. ha.

the savant...
ive decided to start another comic. yep, as some of u may have known, ive been tossing around ideas for a while now. its been very frustrating. i think the whole process of coming up with a good plot device that gets your whole story going is probably the hardest thing in storytelling. Most of the time u come up with an idea, which is quite good, but you dont FEEL IT. you say "yeah, thats a good idea. its good. mm...but do i REALLY want to spend 2yrs of my life developing it? naaahhh."
i was feeling like that for a long time now. ever since i finished my last comic, Uberman, which (holy cow!) has been a YEAR now, ive been trying to come up with an original story. All my past comics were parodies of other TV shows, movies, etc with my friends or classmates in them. Uberman was quite original, but it still borrowed heavily from Smallville and Superman. (wait...they're the same arent they...) I wanted to do a comic that i could call my own. One that i could possibly send out to publishing companies.
About a week ago, i was lying down on my couch (cos it was too darn HOT to sleep of my loft bed), and as i was dozing off, i suddenly had this major influx of ideas! i dunno why...but i find that you get CRAZY ideas just before u fall asleep. Trouble is, u usually forget them the next morning. And i definitely didnt want that to happen! so i got up, booted up my comp, opened MS Word, and wrote down about 3 pages of text...just mental vomiting it all out. (note to self: need to develop this technique for essay writing).
I started pencilling the first page 2 days ago, and just finished inking and scanning it today. Its got hardly any text in it, but hopefully it helps to set the tone for the rest of the book.
