Routine

Yet another week, another month is coming to an end. Day by day my life got so routine after i've become a working adult. No life, no time and not enough sleep. Haha.

The very much anticipated backpacking trip to Darwin was cancelled prematurely due to zijun's exam being scheduled unintentionally closed to the supposed departure date. Saded. Even though he suggested we could go in October, it's not the best time to go Australia since it will be wet, humid and mayb rainy since it's jus after their no-snow winter. Next time ba, if there is a chance...

Mom & dad, will b going to China in June, together with sis, who will b going to Taiwan with her canoe friends, leaving me all alone in SG. Well, will need to plan out something fast to prevent myself from being bored to death. I really need a holiday soon sia. Of cos, not trying to do things tat i hate but find new things tat i haven't do before or something enriching? Might sign up for night class in CC for jap lessons soon, if they provide the course tat is.

Feeling so tired lately and i seriously don't hav the mood to think about other things for the time being. Time to go jog again soon, somehow i feel as though i'm being able to run away from all my troubles, at least for tat 17 to 18minutes.

I still wonder y am i so bothered. Sianz.

Failure

Ahhhhhhhhh~ Failed my IPPT again, but tis time is becos of me being unwell; gastric or wateva u call it.

It's really annoying to hav so many 'illness' attacking my body at the same time. I won't call donating blood a illness but it really saps most of my energy for the rest of the 3 days after doing tat. Then comes along eye irritation on monday which left my eye itch for the whole of monday. Lastly on friday, the stomach pain thingy and hopefully it's really the last 'sickness' tat will attack my immune system.

I still can't pass my SBJ T_T.

My BIG day

It's not my wedding though, haha. Well, i've finally DONATED BLOOD FOR MY FIRST TIME!!!

I had already planned to donate my blood since March since i tot tat it's really meaningful to do tat and it won't kill me if i really do. For the entire time i don't even dare to look at my arm where the blood donation assistant poked me with needle. The embarrassing thing was i was looking as if in pain not knowing the blood was already flowing into the bag since i tot tat the assistant was still poking me, and she had to tell me tat the process had started.

So after the whole thing, the assistant realised tat i was taking picture with my hp cam and she suggested i could hold my bag of blood and take picture with it, but i declined since it's quite i tot tat i might b quite funny to do tat (although i did think of doin it). I was supposed to take out the bandage after 2 hours but i took it off right after i reach home and my 'hole' was still bleeding, kinda scary. I STILL CAN'T GET OVER THE FEAR OF BLOOD T_T.

Went to admirty park with Aaron to take some photos there and it's really fun though. It was scorching hot and i tot tat my skin almost dry up and start peelin off by itself. It wasn't really long when someone by the name of wilson came and join us. We took photos together for awhile and it's not long when we covered most of the 'interesting' places around. Anyways, he had to catch the bus when he was leaving so we didn't get to exchange contact. Wat a pity, >:P

Haiz, so many things to do yet so little time...

B'lated Gathering

It's been almost 4 months since i last saw my batch boys after our holiday trip for Benjamin and after christmas for Joseph mak, approx 2 months since i last saw Joseph and Jing Xiang after the rockclimbing at safra. It's a good thing to meetup, esp when i'm not tat financially broke, but i'm still quite broke lah.

So we went to cartel for a lunch and as claimed by everyone, it's the 3rd time they had been there for b'day/belated b'day 'celebration'. The ribs didn't taste as good as i used to tot, mayb my taste bud wasn't working well at tat moment, haha.

Following up was movie session with all the 'rubbish people' and we watched "School days with a pig". It's not particularly a blockbuster but it was still a good movie tat will leave the audience think, at least me though.

When the little girl asked her teacher, "Who/What determine the length of life?", i answered from my heart, "The one who owns it". However i'm wrong. Being at the lower part of the food chain as a pig, they don't really hav the chance to decide how long they can live (unless disease or illness claims them). There are also things tat were quite unrealistic in singapore like how the principal supported the teacher's idea of keeping the pigs and defending him in front of the parents. In singapore i guess if the same thing happens (it won't, so don't worry too much), principals of schools will either (a)Expel the teacher, (b)Expel the teacher or (c)Expel the teacher.

Anyways, botak jones is damn salty and big and scary...

IPPT Saturday(s)

My day didn't start off well as i didn't hav a complete minimum 7hrs of sleep before having a vigorous exercise tat's coming up in the evening.

To start off, i woke up feeling disorientated and feeling tat bad thing is going to happen soon, haha. When i was having breakfast, i found a black lump about the size of a 5 cents coin stuck at the corner of a slice of bread while i'm spreading it with butter. It really turns me off and i almost didn't hav breakfast b'cos of it. Then i took photos of it and cut it out leaving it in a plastic bag and freeze it (tis is wat they meant by retaining the evident) so i can 'feedback' to the bread company.

Had honeystars with milk in the noon to prep myself for the upcoming IPPT, tis is to make sure i hav enough energy to burn :).

Taking IPPT as a NSman is quite an experience. Everything is so high tech tat makes me feel so awed, everything is OTOT where u don't hav to worry bout cheating or unfairness. For instance, shuttle-run station will start the timer once u pass thru their gantry (where the sensors will b at) and u hav to tap on the metal strip on the ground as if u are taking items from the end point, touch the strip at the starting point as if u r placing them down. Sit-ups and Chin-up stations are equipped with digital voice announcer to tell u how many u hav done for tat station. SBJ equipped with sensors also but they only allow 2 tries. Lastly the interesting part about 2.4km is tat they had adopted the ERP gantry idea, so everytime u run pass the gantry, ur completed lap will b recorded down, it's also recorded individually for the fairness of everyone.

The moment to unveil my result... I failed... T_T. It's really quite disappointing though when i thought the trainings i did is enough, seems like it's not. I didn't hav the correct technic for shuttle-run, my fat tummy makes my sit-up feels as though i'm giving birth, i can only get 212cm for my SBJ which sadly means i need extra training for tat (technic again in tis case i supposed), chin-up wasn't a problem so fret not and lastly 2.4km which i choose to giv up with Ming Hui as it was raining the whole evening (cat 1 till 1800 when we had completed the 4 static stations by 4+pm). I supposed running isn't a problem for me also but since it kept on raining and we had both failed SBJ, we decided to come again next time. Hopefully we can pass by then. Haiz...

Soon Saturdays will b my IPPT day...till the day i pass tat is...

My Public Holiday

(Entry for yesterday)

Another year has come and coincidentally my b'day falls on Good Friday yet again, so everyone gets a day off from my b'day, kinda?

The Ubin trip was cancelled the day before our embarkment so tat leaves 1/2 of my friday free with nothing to do other than playing the lifeless restaurant city on facebook, haha. Luckily there's a movie session at nite, if not i will truely hav a stay-home-do-nothing b'day tis year.

I hav to pass something to jafar at 4.30 and since i'm supposed to meet the guys at bugis at around 5.30p.m (usually i will go out 1hr before the meeting time so i won't b late.), so it's jus nice for me as i can pass my portable speaker to him and take the train without being late. However he was 20mins late, sianz, so by the time he arrived i was very late already. I was really pissed by the fact tat i've already told him not to b late few hours ago but he still did. When he arrived, he handled me a b'day present so for tat part i think he's forgiven, haha.


So we went to watch "Shinjuku Incident" at the new cinema (Filmgarde) at bugis, the ticket was only $6, and it's bought thru internet bookin! The movie wasn't really outstanding but still watchable i guess. After tat i suggested to go budget so we went to food junction for dinner, the food wasn't tat bad and they ordered steamboat for 2 (it's food court style so don't expect much, haha) and lots of side dish, it's really very worth the money. Had desserts at NYDC but i only ordered a single scoop though cos i'm afraid tat they will pay for me (which they really did and b'cos i'm really quite bloated at tat point of time also).

After tat jin hao drove us home and we ended up lost as edgar couldn't recognise the road to his house when we left bugis. Well, my day ended like tat when i reached home at 12a.m. Although there's no big hoo-haa party or celebrations, i still enjoyed my time with them. Lastly, a big thx to all my friends who had wished me, esp Chye Kim and Ke Xin, i didn't expect you guys to remember tis day though, it really caught me off guard and left me with loads and loads of guiltiness. Thx to my mom for the mee sua and ang bao even though it's more likely to b the money i gav her on my payday. Thx to my sis for wishing me happy b'day on 12am 10 of April. Thx for all the love i've received, hehe. Love u guys, muakz! >:P

Bad Knee

Haven't been doing any vigorous exercise tat involve with my low part of my body for almost a week already (not sex, i'm a very innocent guy :), i'm referring to jogging ) due to my bad knee. It's not actually causing any pain but jus some discomfort. The feeling is as though the lower part of my leg is jus dangling onto the upper part of my leg, it's jus a 'loose' feeling with frequent discomfort caused by wat seems to b bones interacting with each other without the soft jelly between my knee.

3 more days to IPPT, hope my knee won't giv me any problem when tat day comes. Shall get my knee checked on monday after the IPPT since it will b more 'accurate' since it will b more battered. Haha T_T

Well, life's quite good in office these few days since we are still waiting to b cleared for Cat1, so it's FB and restaurant city all the way! >:P

My solo Saturday

It's 4th of April and 1 more week to my ippt. Lately my left knee seems to feel a little 'loose', hopefully it won't giv way or become a potential ligament problem.

Went to Vivo alone to watch "Detroit: Metal City" as wat i had planned. I guess it's a good thing tat i actually went out instead of cooping myself in the house. It might sound really pathetic to watch a comedy alone but i supposed it's something inevitable when everyone, or rather most people, doesn't wanna watch it. Watching movie alone, again, will soon become part of my life, jus like before in poly. Putting tat aside, the storyline was really nice, though there was a guy sitting beside me who consistently complaints to his gf about the main lead's action being extremely sissy. For god sake, it's jus a movie... -_-". The movie was about the main lead trying to fulfill his dream of being a pop singer ("trendy", as referred by them) but became a death metal lead singer instead by some twist of fate. Though he hated it but he stayed in the group called "DMC" aka "Detroit Metal City" for some reason. It's a light hearted movie (other than the death metal...) and i'm glad tat i actually did go and watch tis movie.

There was a runway show in Vivo today as well. I'm really awed with the performance even though i didn't stay there for very long. The models were displaying River Island clothings and watching it live was quite an experience. I'm awed by the number of photographers with slrs tat were present as well. They were almost covering the inner perimeter of the stage less the backstage area. Haha.

i guess tat being alone is the best for me now, as people around me don't seem to like respondin to me for some reason. Well, at least some did, i'll count tat as a form of consolation.

*shrugz and force out a helpless patronizing laugh*

Fool of April

To me, April is like a month of joy, fun and of course, mischief. Starting off the month with April fool's day where people get pranked on or them being the prankster themselves.

Well, i've always treated April as my month for a very simple reason even though i don't "celebrate" it like how i used to in the past. That day should b a special day when you celebrate with ur love ones, or should i say spend the day with ur love ones.

I was chatting with my sis a few days back and we found tat we had something in common, we can kinda count our friends using all the fingers tat grow on our palms (we had excess though where we don't need). "Friends" being defined as someone whom you will b comfortable to trash talk, to say out things u won't say in-front-of others (of cos not bitching about others!), to b able to b there for each other, etc. I mean it's not our fault to hav so little friends in our life, mayb we jus haven't meet them yet. People change and will jus walk in and out of ur life, it's perfectly normal and i guess it's inevitable as well jus like how i silently walk out of others life (those people i can't 'clique' with tat is).

What's coming up next in the few days time will b watching "Detroit: Metal City" alone (since everyone seem so reluctant to watch), my pay day, follow by a hopefully-not-so-disastrous ubin outing with parents and their friends :( and my IPPT, hopefully can get a silver though. Time to go Bugis to pray pray.

My month doesn't really seem like a really joyous month to me tis year though, wat's worst than spending my special day with strangers. Which reminded me about the fateful day few years ago when i was in poly, celebrating with some guy (he was invited by my classmate and i don't even remember his name now) i didn't invite and got to know for only a few hours, mayb? The feeling jus sux, plan foilers coming from everywhere to disrupt every single plan i've made. I don't even know which is right anymore, to make others happy and try to b blend in or jus make sure tat u are the only who will b enjoying urself. Felt so sick these days. Argh!

Of all the things i 'lied' about today, one thing tat is for sure and true is tat i really need a break, to leave tis place and find somewhere to cool off, to reflect upon myself and rethink the things tat i deemed as problems. After all, i'm an adult now and will b reaching middle age in another decade or so.

p.s of cos, even though i don't celebrate my b'day it doesn't mean i can't receive presents, haha, who would mind?
