dug myself groggily out of bed to answer the phone call. oh shit. and in 5 mins i was out of the house in the pouring rain on the way to sentosa. beach touch was awesome fun. and the boys eventually took home the trophy, even though we couldn't have an all-safsa final cause we had to face the A team in the semis. today was a good reminder of what pure fun for the whole family feels like. the sun, the sand and the sea. miss playin rugby cause of stupid influenza. gonna be a gym freak again. mmmmm....

and today i happened to over hear a conversation. if you have no goals, no aims - you won't move foward, you won't feel the drive to put in the blood and sweat, you will feel the burn out. goal setting. yes - i need some short term aims. rugby and physical oriented aims.

elisha as always is good with words - ' if you don't aspire, you can't inspire and you'll most probably expire before date stated.' keyword for me - aspire. yeah to be someone they will fear and respect. this time, i'm looking for inspiration from within.

I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
’baby, I’ve changed. please come back.’

What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there’s somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe

In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
You can get out of the rain
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute

this song's wholly appropriate.
