Yesterday is the PA Paddles Competition @ Bedok Reservoir. I was supposed to row on the behalf of Bedok Reservoir - Punggol CSC as the CSC sponsors our MENS team for training. The strange thing happened this morning. I was supposed to reach Paddles Inc by 9AM thus the logical timing to wake up was supposed to be ard 7.45 to 8AM. Missy Wormie gave me a morning call at around 7.45AM although i was already half awake when my stupid alarm clock rang at 7.30AM.

So the usual healthy habit continued, i will Lai Chuang for a while. 8AM i still cannot summoned any energy to wake up so i went back to sleep for another 15minutes. It was so real that i cannot even imagine that a dream can be that real.
"I found myself to already at Bedok Reservoir Car Park, the car park was full and definately no parking space for my Vios. I still cannot believe that i was already at the venue thus is circled my car around the car park." It was then i woke up in cold sweat that i seldom dream of something so close to life.

So i rushed to Bedok Reservoir after that, it was a sense of DejaVu when the same scenario happened right in front of my eyes.... carpark is full, alot of people in jerseys and officials directing the traffic. But heck it, i proceeded to Temasek Poly to park my vehicle. End of the day results, both 10 and 20 men crew race went into Sunday's Grand Finals. This was a good and bad news for me as i have already signed up an investing course on Sunday and definitely can't make it in time for the race.

Today i went for my investing course, the course was held by this very smart and youthful looking guy. I was quite taken back when he mentioned he started investing right before he was 17 years old. I guess i was too late in this context then. Everything went on well and i was very interested for the rest of the course thus paid $50/- deposit for the $108/- course fee as Chion went along.

I was thinking it was time to think of the future as it is best to start to do some financial planning for myself. Majority of the Singaporeans do not have enough savings including CPF to last through their retirement age. Ming, the course instructor, mentioned that if we do not get ourself prepared to start planning financially, it is likely we be sucked right into the "rat race". He means that to earn enough for our car, shelter and stuffs, rather than being already prepared to pay for this commodities. I felt that i have just started my adulthoodship.

Some photos to share for the past month.
