of hot chocolate flakes!
3 weeks after our first climb, cw and I went again yesterday. My arms still frigging hurt today. I think it'll go by tomorrow. It was a blue-y session for us cause somehow we couldn't reach the top for the first 3 walls we tried climbing. Simply frustrating. geh! But after that we decided to go to the simpler ones, and well at least we scaled it ok. I didn't do that well with the yellows, I was so close to the top when my arms decided to get tired (yea I know it's about legwork but somehow my brain refuses to cooperate! argh!).. after 4 tries I got to the frigging top but not without using the blues, blacks and just about every other colour. haih! I've gotta work on that.
So when are we going next? =3

Ti's gonna go NS on Sat. He'd better have a good time cause at this point of time there's really no 'escaping' it, and besides chickenwing and ming both went, and they had a pretty good time there. Goes to show that it all depends on yourself, whether you want it to suck or not. So here's to hoping he'll get a good tan, a good workout and some good friends along the way.
Some time back when he first found out about it, he was all for trying to apply for exemption, or postponing it.. but I say wtf man just go for it, after all it might be a good thing for all you know. The point is, you never know. So go and find out! Geez man.

Tomorrow's xmas eve! I know, Christmas was never really a *special* occasion for me, but I do know how important it is to those who do (or at least I have an idea of how it is important to them, but anyway). Being an over-commercialized event, as much as everyone loves the jolly old man in the red suit, stockings over the fireplace, decorating the trees, Christmas flowers and what not, I have to admit that there's definitely more than that to the whole thing.
I've listened to some choirs in the malls, you know, just walking past.. and I can sense the passion the choralers have for the spirit of Christmas, a time of mirth, a time of joy, and a time to truly appreciate Jesus' birth. Previously, I've been to a Christmas Eve play, a Christmas Eve mass, even gotten Christmas presents when I really wasn't expecting any (yes I still have that stocking =3) and I have to say.. the night of Christmas Eve still is the one that holds the most meaning. Somehow. Maybe it's the peace that settles on the world at the time, I don't know. But it has a different.. air to it. No one should be out doing mean stuff on the night of Christmas Eve. Well, no one should be doing mean stuff at all! But that's besides the point I'm trying to make.
Just take a moment, and be happy and thankful for everything that your God has helped you achieve. I say help, cause in the end you have to go get it yourself. I love to appreciate, it's a humbling act that helps us rediscover ourselves.
