Tired feet

Walked around town earlier today, hence tired feet. Was at SGH for my appointment with my specialist earlier in the afternoon. And the worst thing that happened was that the NEL can't get to Outram Park cos of a technical fault. So was forced to stop at Dhoby Ghault. Was already late, so didn't bother about the free shuttle buses SBS provided. Tried to catch a cab, but none were willing to stop. It's only when I called for one, that the cab driver explained that it's no longer possible to stop on the stretch of road outside PS. Ouch. Saw a lady who accidently sliced her finger while handling sushi from Sakae also waiting for a cab outside PS. Wanted to offer her a ride to Raffles Hospital (her company's medical is handled by Raffles Group), but she declined. Double ouch (cos of her condition).

Doc told me to go for another blood test a week before seeing him again in October. Mentioned something about creatinine levels, and that it can lead to kidney damage. Have to take better care. Just hoping that everything will be fine. Oh, and apparently I lost weight. Had to weigh myself before I saw the doc, and comparing with my weight from almost 2 months back, I somehow lost 1.3kg. So I'm like 57.2kg now. Not too good. Back in the underweight category again. Somehow, I'll have to find a way to put on a few more kilos.

Went down to Maestro after the appointment. Told Huang Te that I needed my guitar by thursday, which he said should not be a problem. Supposed to meet with Paul and Huimei, but that got cancelled as she needed to take a break. Guess I'll use for cell worship then. Have not used my guitar to play for worship for a long time.

Dropped by Esplanade next to return a book to the library, and popped by Art Cafe for a bit to grab a snack, which turned out to be my dinner in the end. Didn't expect the jumbo hotdog to be filling. Went to the rooftop next to catch a bit of the breeze. Coincidently, it happened to be about sunset, so took some shots.

Sunset framed by the buildings and the trees

Closer shot of the pool

Something about the shot captivated me

Actually, I got more shots, especially in my hp, including shots of sunset from the Marina Square foodcourt from a week and a half back. But kinda lazy to upload it now. A bit troublesome to take the memory card out of my hp and use the memory card reader that I borrowed from Nixon sometime back. Have to return it to him soon. So have to find another way to bring my images and smses and phone book into my com to back up. The bluetooth adaptor I borrowed from Jasmine last time seems to have some conflict with the software Nokia provided, though I suspect it's more of the latter. Always having some issue with it. Sigh. Oh well. I'll see how it goes after I get a bluetooth adaptor later on when I start getting paid from work. Still have to save up for my planned trip next year. A lot more to go in terms of cash flow. Won't mind sponsors though :p

So yeah, walked to Marina Square after Esplanade to look the bank. Wanted to deposit some part of my allowance before I get tempted and spend a chunk of it. Passed by some nice restaurants at the first level of Marina Square en route to the bank, so might drop by for a dinner next time. Rather quiet as well. Which was what I was trying to look for all evening. Quiet place for a dinner, and for talking. Went about some parts of Marina Square, Suntec, and went back to Funan as well before heading home. Wasn't really wearing shoes (wore sandals for my appointment, in case my doc wanted to check my feet), so a bit of soreness in my feet. Not too bad. Would have worn shoes if I knew my feet won't be examined, which happened in my last appointment.

Life seems to be getting more busy. Just got informed by Sean that the ad needs to be out by this week. And I'll have to oversee the advanced players audition by Joshua on wednesday evening. Supposed to be in the mid afternoon, but just got a sms from him a while ago that he can only make it around 6pm. And I still have to call up the members to inform them about the venue and time. Just emailed Caroline the new timing, so I guess I'll have to call her in the morning when I get up. I'll need grace and time management and prayer that I won't burn out. Like I told some of my friends, I'll have to juggle school lessons and work, work for Sean, church/ministry, guitar club stuff, and my social life. Won't be easy, but I'm believing that with God, all things are possible. Amen.

Still got things on my mind that I have to think about, and talk about. Just praying that God will lead me in this process. For without Him, my world will crumble. Something I learned the hard way during my years of back-sliding. And like I mentioned before in this blog, I have no wish to head back to that way of life, or way of thinking, that is, a life without God. The poems I wrote back then are a testimony to my life back then, I guess (check the 2nd link called poems on the right). Wayward emotions expressed in the only way I knew how then, poetry (some good, but there's also the bad, but I think it's generally more of the latter). Maybe that's why I've not really written much of them since I came back to the Lord. Ok, I did write some, but they are lost somewhere. To those who don't know, I scribble them into notebooks, and I have quite a few of them lying around in my room (and I always carry one or two around with me). Don't think they'll ever see the light of day now. Might be painful if I do go dig them out and read or even publish online. Guess only the ones I write from now on will be found here. But then again, I'll need the inspiration to write, which I'm looking out for, now. Hope to find it soon in my life (especially something good ü).
