A Day of (trivial) Firsts

First Call Home
Today is the first time that I called home since I got here slightly more than 2 months ago! I have some credit left over on my monthly account which would expire tomorrow. Being smarter from the last experience where my credit got swallowed up, I decided to call home. I had thought that msn video call home once every week should be sufficient, but I guess it still can't beat talking and listening closely to a voice on the other end (sans the poor quality video and other distractions). All ah gui talked about was the vitamins, haha expected! I'm contemplating getting an international calling card now so that I can call home more regularly.

First Swim at Recreation Centre
I had my first swim at recreation centre this evening! Everything at the RC operates at clockwork precision and adheres strictly to a schedule. The lanes are not open all the time to people who just want to do laps, as they have other aquatic activities going on as well. So although I reached at 6.30pm today, I had to wait till 7.30pm before I could use the pool. This was not necessarily a bad thing though, cos interestingly, I was very productive during the one hour and finished a main part of the opinion letter. The swim was so relaxing, but it was soo cold once I got into the toilet. The swim was supposed to help with my sore shoulders, but unfortunately I still have a medical plaster slapped over them now.
Joey just reminded that I should go swim everyday (quoting me in my own words)...erhem...

Lastly
I have started to think that my blog is quite shallow and superficial in content. Does anyone think so too? Cos comparing with those people who write blogs about recent legal issues, reflections on readings or insights about certain topical subjects, my blog seems like a dull chronology of events in my little world written in crude and unimpressive language. Oh well...maybe I should start to write more "substantive" content to hone my literary ability to express opinions?

Ok, whatever. I know I'm still going to be myself and write the way I like.
