went for a swim today.. at good old tp.. =) finished a pathetic 8 laps.. pathetic compared against average standards but it's an ACHIEVEMENT for me!! hahahha.. headed home intending to work on my assignment.. hmm looking at my bed... ooh.. just so tempting.. snoozed off for the next couple of hours.. ;p well, had a nice dinner..
found out a sad news.. a friend, or rather, meu camarada ('my comrade' in portugues) passed away in January.. he's a nice guy.. i belief the last i saw him was in may 2005.. remember hearing his stories about working in sg.. and having to travel to china for work.. he's brazillian you see.. i remember his passion for surfing and the good joga we had in capoeira..
it wasn't long after we met in may 2005, that i heard news he was hospitalized for poisoning from excessive alcohol.. he was in china then.. he was in coma and sent back to brasil.. the only comfort is prob that i did meet him before the whole incident..
i neva knew if he was a believer.. but hope that he recieved and accepted Christ, and that he is with our good Lord now..
just a 'lil word of reminder and caution.. daniel (aka sarara) swore by alcohol.. no doubt his capacity for liquor is pretty hmmm huge.. but sometimes it's not about knowing how much you can take.. (you might not know when you think you do..) looking at what i know about his life, perhaps.. there woudn't have been any day he lived without alcohol.. this constant drinking could have become an addiction that he might not even have realised.. so much so, he prob wasn't so aware that the alcohol was eating into his physical health...
to all of ya, young and old.. take good care of yourselves.. i remember there was this part of the bible telling us to hmm look after our bodies and keep it holy.. cos it's the temple of Christ.. something along that line.. i can't recall the verse tho.. anyone?? anyways.. basically we do have the responsibility to take care of this body we have within our means..
nuff for today.. and yupz.. time for my assignments..
