Relac-jack.

Yet another relac-jack week passed me by. Nothing happened, which in a way is good too. No high points, no low points, no nothing. Having said that, I think one of the most important things we can learn from serving NS is how to LLST. They should really include it as a core value or something. Loyalty to country, leadership, yada yada, LLST! People say act blur live longer, I think LLST will live longer too. I'm starting to lose patience with people who just can't learn how to LLST even though they have served much longer than me and are gonna...

Full-body workout

After much deliberation and advice from the mods from CIA, I have finally changed my workout routine to a full-body workout comprising of only compound exercises. Shit man, I really think that I've wasted so much time and I should've used this routine so long ago. I was afraid of doing all the big lifts and I thought that my legs are usually sore for up to 3-4 days so it's impossible I can work them 4 times a week. Turns out that I'm wrong, the more you work it the less sore it becomes. After trying out for a week, I think it's really stupid to...

Buried

You know what they say, it never rains but it pours.Work was super slow paced till yesterday despite having our usual killer 2-hour meeting on Monday to thrash out the progress and approach to the 2 ongoing projects. Everything was either held up here or there so most of the time I'm sitting in front of the PC dozing off, hoping that no one'll notice. And then there was today, when suddenly all the responses to the queries start coming back and the workload just exploded.Imagine juggling 2 projects simultaneously with overlapping scope, and you...

Booking in loh

4 more hours to book in. I think the "2-week adjustment period" is rather effective cause most, if not all, of us were really pretty much adjusted to BMT. We don't even countdown the days to book out by the 4th day and I'm thinking if we never got to book out it wouldn't be such a big deal. Except maybe for the smokers who are really dying towards the end of 2 weeks cause they ran out of cigarettes haha.. all keep show the shagged dying face. This bookout was pretty low actually. Man Utd lost to Arsenal 2-1, and somehow I keep getting this lost...

You are not special.

I wonder how people can live with the notion that they are special, that we are all special in a way. No doubt we are different, but that does not make us special. Some of us may be born rich, born handsome, born with a big brain blahblahblah, but that does not give us (or you) the priviledge to feel that you are special or the one or that you have the world at your feet. According to Deathnote, we all go to the same fucked up place of nothingness when we die. (Hope I'm not going to hell) I'm like, come on, no one planned anything for you. You...

DXO

I wonder if any of you all had been to DXO recently. It's like totally different from the last time I went there a few years back, back when there's still a ladies night, we still had to pay cover charge, and there were actually a queue and people clubbing. It's no longer a club, more like a pub or a water hose actually. $1 cover charge and drinks are like $4 each. Gosh.. and the crowd there, they actually can dance to the manila live band. Hahaha Fel and I had a pretty good laugh but it got awkward soon looking at how the people were enjoying...

Man Utd 4 - 0 Arsenal

That's the reason I'm still not sleeping even though its over 3am. I seriously regret a little not taking the walk over to Serangoon Central to watch this match and I probably missed the greatest and most dominant match of Man Utd so far this season. This is truly total pwnage and there are so many quotes that I can copy from the soccernet live commentary to commemorate this day, just to name a few:"What a performance from United. All the talk before the game was that another home defeat could have killed their season. But they are alive and kicking...

There's a thousand you there's only one of me.

I haven't been feeling well for the past 2 days, having the perennial blocked and runny nose and a little bit of a cold. Damn the aircon in the labs and MLT10 so freaking cold and the moment you step out it's so freaking warm, how can anyone don't fall sick under this kinda freaky conditions? It was pouring a few days back and I think I got caught in the rain too, so kinda explains it. Was feeling a little feverish during IAP and thought of skipping gym and going home to rest but I had second thoughts and went ahead to gym instead. After sweating...

Foot rot.

Why does my feet always smell so bloody darn bad after guard duty? I don't know how they're gonna rot when I go for field exercise next month. Just 24hours without taking off my boots there're already these whiteish fungus-like thing on my soles and the smell is like salted fish x 1000000000. Seriously hong gan man.Met up with KG and VC on friday night before VC heads off to Brunei for 2 weeks. He was saying about his quail-killing experience and man, I really don't know if I'm able to do that. I think there're really only 2 types of people around...

CNY long weekend!

I haven't updated this blog since my last post, when I was still in the midst of my nerve-wrecking pulsating final examinations period. An overall assessment of the papers, I actually feel that the last AFA paper is the hardest. The theory portion is ... pretty unexpected and my answers were definitely not my most confident ones. Anyhow, with the ending of that paper my poly life has also came to an end. I used to hear them stories from Steven about...

I will follow you into the dark.

MIA for 2 weeks or so again. Overdue bills resulting in disconnection again. I didn't keep track of how many times this had happened over the past few years but I bet I'm into double figures now. Anyway, I finished the book mentioned in the previous post and I went on to buy the supposedly polar-opposite counterargument Free to Choose written by Milton and Rose Friedman. Can't start on that yet , I'm now not even a fifth through The World Is Flat that dear lent me. Let's see how this battle of free market purported by extreme capitalism and globalisation...

Sex and the city.

Been quite busy this 2 weeks that's why stopped updating regularly again. Another reason is that I'm like squeezing whatever free time I have in between things to do and places to be to watch SEX AND THE CITY. It's like the total relationship bible-drama and every situation that can occur in a relationship you'll find it in there. I'M SUCH A GIRL I KNOW. HAHA. I bought the dvds from China and it's like the complete set with what, 8 or 9 seasons....

It's all good.

Just updating for updating's sake, really nothing much went on for me recently.Had a good couple of friday nights out with my poly mates drinking. First was at a pub in Selegie then last week was at our class bbq. Got drunk as hell, vomitted during the bbq after all the tequila. It's all good. I love staying up overnight, especially with mates I can chill with. Gives me the impression that my weekend is sort of extended into 3 days instead of 2 before...

2x "Hell" Week

Gonna book in later and get ready for our so-called 2x "hell" week - 2 consecutive outfield over 2 weeks. I suppose the Tekong one's gonna be damn relax. I mean, sleeping in bunk, eating fresh ration from cookhouse and we're even moving a damn washing machine over. Where else do you hear about such an "outfield" right? Don't know about the LCK one though, was pre-warned that it's gonna be xiong as hell. Take it as it comes then.The grouping for this outfield was quite godlike too. There's Zhuang Randall and Fabian on my team machiam the original...

India Boy

Somehow, I'm already here in India for 3 weeks or so. The sad thing is I'm not even halfway through and seriously I feel like quitting now.Although by and large I didn't exactly volunteered or chose to come here, there's a part of me that's clandestinely looking forward to this exercise. I mean, how often do you get a chance to come to India? Especially with food and lodging all paid for. I wanted to see the world and go wherever my feet would take me. Now I know what it means by be careful of what you wish for.Whatever it is, I just want this...

My ugly 'patch'

This article was in the Newpaper a few days back, reporting on a tattoo-removal programme going on at some muslim community organisation providing cheaper service to those who wants to remove their ugly 'patch'. People interested in removing their tattoos maybe can check around the web for it cause they kinda half the price as it's a community programme. Tattoo removal is wayyy more expensive than getting tattooed. This guy in the report with the...

New year, new house.

It's been a crazy past week with all the packing and moving and unpacking and moving somemore, tired like hell! After all that's said and done, I'm officially back to the estate where I spent the last few months of my Dunman High days taking 158 to school. There's alot more walking here though cause I don't wanna waste 67cents just to take 1 stop to the MRT station. Oh well, cardio cardio cardio.The house is still in a mess and I've still got my books and a few boxes in my room that needs some unpacking. That can wait until I've got some electricity...

Messed up.

me: "you always make me feel silly :("reply: "because you are"I'm really pretty silly ain't I? Dwelling on insignificant matters and always going out of point. I really don't know what else to do or how else to behave and it really seemed right at that point of time. I think sooner or later I'm gonna have to let it all out regardless of the consequences because it's really killing me. It's like I've built this wall of pretense to defend myself and brick by brick it's being taken apart, sooner or later everything's gonna come tumbling down and I'll...

I guess this song tells a better story than I do. Does music really have healing powers I wonder.The Trouble With Love IsLove can be a many splendored thingCan't deny the joy it bringsA dozen roses, diamond ringsDreams for sale and fairy talesIt'll make you hear a symphonyAnd you just want the world to seeBut like a drug that makes you blindIt'll fool ya every time[chorus]The trouble with love isIt can tear you up insideMake your heart believe a lieIt's stronger than your prideThe trouble with love isIt doesn't care how fast you fallAnd you can’t...
