clear mind of the swim

WooOOOooo! Nothing like a good swim to clear the mind and loosen the joints. The swimming complements my running, and the running complements the swimming. In the midst of this regime, I can throw in some biking and tada! Almost like a triathlete except that I don't run and bike in the gay looking tight suits.

But one thing came to mind. I realised after my recent trip to Melbourne to visit my absolutely hot and yummilicious girlfriend, that the gels and creams and toiletries that we use in Singapore is always a yucky texture. Toothepaste for example always comes out nice and gelly and firm in the cooler climate of Australia, the way it should be. Whereas in Singapore, we get a gross not liquid but not really gel texture. Shampoo too, stays in the palm of your hands when you squeeze it out of the bottle instead of dripping and tricking down your hands. We're not experiencing our toiletries the way we should I tell ya! How annoying!

And I can't help but make a mention about everyone's "favourite" OS again. Windows is the bomb I say. Literally. It always blows up in your face when you need it most. My mom came around with her VAIO in the evening and asked me to have a look at it coz she recently did an update and the laptop wasn't working properly like before. So I powered it up and after windows boots up a huge warning window appears and screamed something like, "Warning! The vendor has made an illegal change of the system .dll to section of main memory that has not been authorised for .dll segment constrains. Contact vendor for proper allocation blah blah blah...." you get the drift. Why does microsoft always have to launch warning windows and screens to intimidate people in a language that no one understands?? I'm pretty sure its in English but after reading it countless times I still have no clue what it wants me to do. I dunno if its the sentence structure or the grammar or whatever, it just doesn't make any sense! If everyone in the world spoke like that, there would be total anarchy. Stupid system.

Anyhow, I rattled along for too long now. So I'm gonna give it a break and return for more next time. Later~
