.Relieved.
I passed my range, finally, with flying colors. I got Marksmen, miraculously. I guess i was a little lucky tis time round, plus � fact tht i was more calm & relaxed. Mayb cauz it was organised by my own company, so i felt more at ease. There were more familiar faces ard & hence, more people there to talk to, as well as more encouragements frm each other. I'm jus glad tht i finally passed it, getting � marksmen was a bonus. Too bad there wasn't any money to come alg wth it, otherwise it wld even be better. Nevertheless, i'm not tht greedy, besides passing it was more important.

Tis week passed me by so quickly, so much so tht it's � beginning of another month. Before you knw it, 2004 is over. For now, i wish tht time will pass me by tht quickly, since i'm in � army. But when i go to work in society, i hve a feeling tht i will reminisce those times i was studying & wished tht my life wasn't tht fast paced. Life can be so contradicting at times man.

.It's all in � mind.
And my mind gave up on me, during � last leg of � race. My feet couldn't carry me any further as well & i really had to stop. Practically walked & jogged for abt 4km, which i was a little disappointed wth myself, since i really wanted to complete � run w/o walking at all. Nevertheless, i'm still quite contented with myself for completing tis run wth an ankle tht hasn't fully recovered. Am glad tht my ankle didn't give me any major problems while running. Overall, i felt tht i could hve done much better, but it's all over now so there's no point in brooding over what i could hve done instd, tht kinda thing. Half-Accomplished, Half Satisfied.

My legs aren't aching tht much, since i did walk. However, my muscle around � right knee cap area is aching real badly, so much so tht i can't really bend or straighten my legs. Everytime i do either of it, i hafta do it with caution. I need more rest...

PheWww......
YeSh! Colin & Christie didn't win � race. I'm so relieved right now. But i must say tht heaven was really on Chip & Kim's side, which i'm glad. Tis season's race is so exciting, esp towards � last leg of � race. My heart was racing thru out � entire show. Kudos to � bowling mums as well, Linda & Karen, for being such great competitors.

Can't wait for � next season to come though, which is pretty soon. Ok, back to my HK Drama Serial. Another must watch.

.Nightmare.
Nope, i'm not having nightmares. It's jus tht range is coming up, & it's considered to be a nightmare, at least to me. I'm not aiming to be a marksman, i jus wanna passed it tis time round & get it over & done wth. I don't wanna feel devastated & despair like i did, during my previous range.

I hvn't recovered fully frm my sprained ankle, which means tht i might not be able to run � AHM. Quite sad actually, judging frm how much preparation i did. But there's nothing much i can do abt it, things jus cropped up you knw. Hopefully a miracle happens too.

.Incompetence.
Been making alot of mistakes at work, which makes me feel very bad, since it affects � work of my other colleagues. I feel very incompetent recently, tht i'm not as good as i thought i was. I was never good to begin with, i now realised.

What an exciting tennis match it was, from � US Open. Too bad � people whom i hope would win � tournament, are out of it. I guess there are times when you are at � peak of watever you are doing & at other times, you jus kinda slack it off, sliding down frm � top or with better competitors entering � scene. It's quite sad to see such things happen, but nobody ever stays at � top forever. There will always be someone who's better than you.

.Ankle woes.
Yeah sprained my left ankle again. One wrong footing & "crack", there goes my ankle. But i still manage to complete my 16km run though, which i felt was another achievement. Didn't really regret to continue running, even after i sprained my ankle, though it's really painful now. Jus praying hard tht it will recover by Mon, since i hve Guard Duty. Guess � new pair of Aasics shoes didn't really help at all.

.Complains.
Well i really don't understd why people wld still complain, when they are already like in a better situation as compared to others. One shld really learn how to be contented wth wat they hve, instd of always being kiddish & asking for more. I guess tht's human's nature, greed & unlimited wants. Complaining so much won't improve � situation, it only makes you want more. Why not make do with what you hve & be satisfied with it? It will make your life a little bit easier.

Still contemplatin abt whether i shld get a MP3 player. Really dunno whether i wld really need it or am i jus buying it on impulse, a.k.a "spending" mood. Recently bought a pair of Aasics shoes, which already cost quite alot. Tht, i really felt was a rush of blood to � head, hopefully it will serve me well. Another reason for me to consider buying it, is becauz of � offers tht are going on. It's quite tempting. Hai, why can't i jus make up my mind? Why must i think so much?

On � other hand, i hve a feeling tht i won't be able to get a driving license. Driving is jus not in my genes.

.Rumours.
It seems tht when people gossip, rumours will start to spread like wildfire. You don't know who to believe, who's telling � truth & who's not. Most of � time, these rumours aren't true. I know tht gossiping ain't really a good thing, but i hafta admit tht i sometimes i do gossip. I suppose it's very common in most workplaces, unavoidable.

I really hate Colin & Christie. Am crossing my fingers tht they don't win tis race. On � other hand, Brandon is jus so nice towards her girlfriend, am glad tht it wasn't an elimination round. Without Mirna & Charla in � race, it makes � show a little boring, honestly speaking.

Am contemplating whether i shld get a Creative MP3 Player. Jus hve tis sudden urge of buying it, though i'm quite satisfied with my FM receiver. But sometimes when you like a particular song alot, you really wish tht � radio wld play it, which most of � time it doesn't, esp if it's not a very popular song. Tht's where a MP3 Player comes in. But it's quite expensive. Sigh, guess i'm in a "spending" mood. Not good.
