Yong Pin said my posts are airy. Acknowledged.
Anyway, it s back to airy posts. PE and Track. haha.
In fact there s nothing much to say about PE. Track was xiong on Thursday. Joined sprints for training. Pyrimid. 400, 300, 200, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500. 3 min break in between, timed runs. I managed 400 to 400 but legs decided not to go for the last 500. Did ok for a first time, managed to come in under the stipulated time except for one 200, missed by a second. It was a good training.
Ok about work, i m down to it right now.
Tag Replies. (yong pin commented about tag replies also. acknowledged.)
HUI HUI - many things happened.
LOIS - you tag so many times that i have to choose which one to reply to. oh ya, you said no need to reply right.. alrightie!
DS - yea i m missing cookies too. march hols. promised.
TOOTHPICK - it is to a small teeny weeny extent. a nicer word would be reflective.
JY - true. appreciate and cherish everything present.
JOLENA - oh no, sounds like a GP discussion. nothing ever makes sense is indeed the best conclusion.
JEREMY - no copyright infringements.
SAM - haha i m more of abusing both of them everyday. but i ll try to, TRY.
MUG!!!

If only...
if only the clock turns 3 revolutions a day,
if only a movie theatre exists right here,
if only salted popcorn rained on my bed,
if only the phlegm turns into saliva,
if only weekdays turn into weekends,
if only running can be like before,
if only overlapping runs can be made daily,
if only the longing burns away,
if only the cold wind blows forever,
if only tests are always decades away,
if only knowledge has boundaries,
if only the pen moves by itself,
if only buddies never change,
if only nostalgia faces extinction,
if only the world understands,
happiness is defined.

Exhaust
What comes out when an exhausted person farts?
Ans: Exhaust!
hahahaha. then probably i ve been releasing exhaust for the whole week.
it has been an extrememly tiring week. it might be due to Allcomers, burning my federal reserves leaving me with none for the rest of the week. i realised all that i blog about for the week is mainly just 1) Training, 2) PE. So i might as well just do it systematically right unless there s more interesting stuff than that. Books? Erm no.
Monday s training, long run and core. Core was simply hardcore. 5 sets of 1.30min. Long run was suppose to help the shins but apparently it made them worse. Cold spray became my best friend for the week, though it didnt help when the pain was too overwhelming.
Tuesday was orientation for J1s. Gym cut halfway. Anyway we couldnt do most leg exercises. Captain s ball was fun. Managed to remember some names. Turn out was a boom. let s see if they can take it.
Wednesday PE frisbee. Wasnt suppose to run, so volunteered to be keeper. Let in 3 disappointing shots. Loke s shot was exception, the other 2 could have been stopped if i was more alert. It was fun though. Tyco-ness creeped in again, scored from one end to the other. It was suppose to be for anyone upfront to grab but everyone missed so it just went in. Unlike Captain s ball, the intention was there, but tyco certainly helped.
Thursday training, oh Quads have something to say,"I hate thursday's training!" ah well, for the sake of shaving off 9 seconds. Shin said,"Sorry Quads, you gotta solo." 500m of lunges is no joke, that s why neither Quads nor Shin is laughing. In fact, Quads cried on Friday, the whole day.
Friday, Quads was crying. PE, Shin teared too. Captain s ball vs S01. For the first time i felt so demoralised. They were all unsavable. Stretched and jumped as high as i could, all at the right time, even got up at zero angle, crashed the Captain down, i still cant save it. Even with Zheng Da s shoulder, still cant get it. Changed tactics and charged the shooter down and they came up with basketball tricks to somehow score. Roughed back but found no appropriate way to defend. The only way to win is to concede, but score more than you concede.
Saturday, slept till my heart, mind, body and eyes content. Out for dinner at Marina Square, met some SA peeps, i think S and F gathering. One day break, next day gotta work.
there was a weird conversation that day. i couldnt understand the tone. maybe the phrasing was off but it sure struck me. did i make the right decision? i have to prove it in other ways.
then, there s another ongoing incident. one that has been happening since the start of the year maybe stretching back to the end of last year. am i doing the right thing? it seems pretty mean, it seems unlike me, it seems to be making feel guilty. even if i made up my mind, should i be doing this? the rationale is to act as a preventive measure, things seem to go as planned but when there s quiet and peace and just the time alone, i wished nothing had gone as planned. maybe i should offer one more chance, maybe to know more? risky it is. it s unavoidable. and it s unbelievable that there are other observant people around, who knows more than they appear to be able to see. i guess i ll just play along.
and sometimes it gets irritating to be honest. being tolerant is good, being continuously tolerant pushes limits, being tolerant for life is an immortal virtue. the best thing to do is to avoid, sometimes running away is indeed the best solution.
i trust myself to do the right thing, waiting for someone to trust in me. completely.

Allcomers
AllComers.
Just wanna say i did my best and am happy with it. The only thing that i could probably do better is learning how to avoid being boxed in time and time again. 3 times! Start, middle, end. other than that, 2.19.11 is good for me.
The rest of the trackers did well too. But surely there s still room for improvement for all. We can be much much better.
Burnt from Saturday s swim and today s run added a bad headache. Tired tired tired.
New York was good, good ambience and good company.
Overall, the effort paid off for me, despite having a huge chunk of phlegm stuck at the throat and the horrible heat. I cant ask for a better debut. Thanks to all those who came down even though i didnt want any one to make the extra trip.
Thanks to Shawn and Ying Lun who cheered the loudest. APPRECIATED.
Thanks to Ying Wei for the media coverage.
Thanks to Monique and Lip Chiau for being in the same shoes as me.
Thanks to Ms Tan and Mr Lim for the strong support.
Thanks to PW mates who came late, but still made dinner good + Pam.
Thanks to all for making the debut so memorable, it ll only get better. :)

Valentine s Day
Happy Valentine's Day!
.
FRIDAY
.
Waited for Lois and Pam with Gabs and went for dinner at PS. Pastamania, spammed cheese. Gabs wanted to get his Valentine s Day stuff. Which turned out to be mass produced gifts. haha. Anyway it s the thought that counts even though it s just typical cheapo of him.
.
.
SATURDAY
.
Ms Ye s house. Mahjonged and Wiied. Hitched ride to Paya Lebar and went for a half an hour swim before rushing home for the crabs. Downed dinner and rushed off for Boon Lay but couldnt make it and LPO came to the rescue. Picked up Lois and Pam on the way and met Gabs.
.
Rounded Boon Lay a few times before getting to NTU. Cards and minimal work before going for stroll around NTU with the company of a stalker cat. It s just lonely. haha and we almost left it in the Education Wing to spend the night, just to stop Pam from screaming. Went back to the hall to sleep just to wake up in a few minutes.
.
SUNDAY
.
0430. Washed up and bussed to Raffles Place. Pathetic breakfast. Just a raisin bun smaller than the size of a fist. Was allocated stations. And i had to do this...
.
.
Handball with Lois and Pam. Gabs was a separated, guarding the stairs. Momokun aka Domokun was my best friend of the day. I would have died of ball ramming if wasnt for him. The sun havent risen and we had to start our jobs. Picking balls.
.
Lunch.
.
.jpg)
.
SUMPTUOUS MEAL.
.
that was suppose to last us 12 hours. include the weeny raisin bun. not even a drink. had to walk to Lau Pat Sat to get proper food. Managed to survive till 6 plus and trained home.
.
MONDAY
.
Long day. Training, lunged and lunged and lunged with the medicine ball. Only could stare at those running freely and Loke being a goalkeeping coach. If only we could do a swop of positions.
.
TUESDAY
.
Ended early. Had to finish up overdued work with Cassie and Tim in library. Forgot about time but still managed to leave and reach Tampines for another swim. Thanks to Tim s cheat route.
.
WEDNESDAY
.
PE. Kicked around with the guys. It was pretty good apart from missing 2 open goals. No excuses for that even if there s shin splints or broken shins. CCA sign up after school. Relatively good compared to last year. 30 plus people, about 3/4 girls. Let s see if they are really serious. Just slept at the booth for half an hour, since i was drained and there was nothing to do.
.
THURSDAY
.
The lamest circuit for PE. No other comments. Training. Decided to give the shins a chance. Managed to survive 6, 4, 2. Albeit feeling some pain. But not as bad as the previous week. Not running till sunday.
.
FRIDAY
.
Love is in the air! Yong Pin attempted a free kick. Not sure whether he kicked it already of he missed the ball totally or he scared his foot hurt from kicking.
.
Couldnt squeeze time to do something for the class, quite guilty. Anyway thanks to the donkeys for all the gifts, it s appreciated. I m joining gay Barney's song: I love you, you love me, we are happy family!
.
Bio test. Come what may. Took down CNY deco to get ready for the new design after a productive discussion session with Tim. Gotta buy the stuff soon. Was suppose to swim but too tired, cant afford to sleep halfway while in the pool right.
.
SLACKED till now. I need sleep yet i m procrastinating that as well.
.
nitezz.

CNY
If what Ms Yeo said is true, then i'm just glad. JC is quite crazy. I'm more worried about not get enough rest than anything else right now.
Anyway dug out some time to upload whatever pics whoever took that is left in my phone.
>>> Jer, cage about 5 weeks ago.
>>> aha, the concrete footprints at a flora shop. reminds me of blue's clues.
.jpg)
At least i gotta watch the EPL matches and highlights. LIV 2 - CHL 0 !!!

>>> Just 2 golden cows
.
CNY itself was kinda mundane. Maybe it s because there wasnt any gambling this year. Just visiting, some mahjong, watching tv, that s about it. Went to watch Ink Heart with cousin and sisters on Tuesday, chu er. It was something different from all these years. I gotta see all the shops closed in the mall during day time, gotta see the desperate queues at remaining restaurants opened, and gotta chat with my cousin about jobs at Sakae. Really got me thinking. Good day or rather good night.
.
Then, back to school, training, long run to Bishan was good, 10km but relaxing. Friday, there was some MILO tryathlon press conference. waste of time. Had to run here and there, did drills in full school uniform, even had problems queueing up for milo. just gotta sigh about ms k. Missed a bio tutorial... it could have been a productive lesson. Anyway, hui hui, lois, pam and gabs came over. Just snacked, some guitar, while gabs was busy worrying about his movie, dinner, the ape missed it, cards and that s about it. Bai nian more of just EAT EAT EAT and PLAY PLAY PLAY.
.
SATURDAY
.
it was just the beginning of a nice weekend wasted. Long long trip to Malacca, dont count the hours, count the fatigue. Just for a 'wedding cum cny dinner'. Food wasnt that bad, just had ants as waiters, real waiters pouring chinese tea into a cup of water and pouring water into a cup of ice cream soda. It was more of the hotel than anything else.
At least i gotta watch the EPL matches and highlights. LIV 2 - CHL 0 !!!
.
SUNDAY
.
did some walking about at the nearby shopping mall, Macs breakfast. cheaper but smaller but still Macs anw. Carrefour and another long trip home. A total waste of a weekend.
It s Ren Ri, so had dinner at Soup Restaurant with aunt and uncle. Yu sheng and the trademark ginger chicken. i can just have that for lunch everyday.
.
MONDAY
.
and back to school again. long day. econs econs econs. seems like eons of econs. training, almost died. 400m STILL 58s. 600m burntout. another 400m puke. and they didnt change the colour of the jersey....
.jpg)
puking lion. nah mum sent to me saying it s cute. hahaha.
.
TUESDAY
.
supposed to be a short day but had gym training. attempted to do some work before gym but the orientation was too distracting. nothing much to say about gym, i m just aching all over.
.
WEDNESDAY
.
Thermometer. Saved 4 bucks. Gotta thank mann and diana.
PE, torture. Just pain pain pain. After the soreness, one round was bad enough, bball was even worse. Shin splints seemed to have come back. It s not official, but it seemed like it wont go away fast enough. Finger went the wrong way, a new pain. Pain in the neck, the shoulders .. ah everywhere. Bball is a 5 v 5 sport, comemon even 10 people in one half looks crowded.
AND i m finally back home early for one day! good nap on the bus. should be able to relax a lil.
.

i need coldspray.

CNY
HELLO ALL! Totally in the CHINESE mood.
咱门庆祝一番吧！
Actually watched a CHINESE movie in the theatres few days ago. And the interesting thing was, it was Red Cliff 2 with Mr. Ang at Century Square. Haha it s quite hilarious. Not the movie but watching it with Mr. Ang. Took a train to Tampines and had lunch at Kopitiam waiting for 5.30pm. Nice chat with the funny man, i think i know him a lot better now. His interesting life stories make mine simply boring. (i know he blog hops, so HI!) Anyway Red Cliff was nice. Good plot, good action, good pace, good length. 2.5 hours made 6 bucks totally worth it.
Following days were simply CNY stuff. Soaked in Chinatown on Friday, moving like a penguin (similar to New Year's Day), but it s just an annual thing. Next stop was flowers. Gotta get those plants to decorate the house. Flora East, Katong, etc, staring at daisies, tulips, pussy willows, even bamboos and BABY's BREATH (i didnt know baby's breath stinks!) Loved the atmosphere. At home, just hanging those red stuff around, clearing up the place, and there s all the typical CNY music. The unique atmosphere once a year.
Reunion dinner was kept simple, just steamboat and few people. CHINESE movies like Kungfu Hustle completes the picture. Mahjong movies are good too! The CHINESE snacks are
making me bloated. Staying up all night today! 守岁！It s fun doing these traditions.
新年快乐！

Problem resolved
I came online with a light-hearted mood, and i guess i m gonna go off similarly. :)
The week was bad. I was drained to the core, mugged till late almost daily, slept about an average of 2 hours a night. In the end, MSA was crap even after everything put in. The timetable made things worse. I actually paid full attention to all lessons, it s really not easy. Sitting in front is good, i ll just stick to the front for my own good.
Fell sick since Sunday, wasnt that bad initially but i couldnt switch off the tap in school. But i still managed a gym training, some soccer, PE and today's 12 rounds fartleks. I should get some rest (tomorrow) as what Ms Tan suggested. Today the new PE teacher, cant remember his name, came for track training. He was in TJ Mid distance and imparted some knowledge that he thought was essential for us to know. He encouraged me and said that i had a 400m build and should be able to get into the finals. (Are you kidding?) But the short session with him got me kinda inspired, not to aim for 2nd last!
I was glad the problem that rocked the week was solved. Emotions ran high, was extremely upset at a stage, yet touched at another. I guess i m too emotional. Anyway there isnt much to say other than something that i m saying for the third time, 'my principles never change, my priorities remain the same.'
There is something else i need to do..

So screwed up
Everything's just so screwed up.
Terrible today.
From the wee to the noon to the mid to the set.
Just so tired.
A good leader cares for his followers.
Even a friend does that.
Sitting by the window with the breeze blowing got me pondering.
Is there anyone who'll stand by me even when the sky falls?
Sick and burnout. Mucus during soccer. Just lemme sleep.
Wake me up when Friday comes..

T1W1 09
It's school once again. Recalling some significant events before school started.
Cage was quite a letdown. So many backed out the last minute. Grateful to those who came and burnt a hole in their pocket as a result.
Younger sis birthday. Jack's for dinner. And she got a bleddy acoustic AND a bleddy PSP at just the age of 15. Spoilt kid.
My friend was hiding in my room one night. And he crawled onto my head just when i was about to fall asleep to give me a pleasant surprise. Too bad his 6 legs and 2 feelers were too irritating and i had to sweep him off, grab and roll a stack of newspapers and send him to heaven. (He had to go through the sewage system first.) Gotta admit it s a relatively weak cockroach.
I guess that s about it before school term started. Was rushing through some work towards the end but wasnt much.
SCHOOL!!!
Just one word. EXHAUSTED.
Wasnt used to the new clock. Day 1 was shitty. Ended at 5. And training was draining. Every bit of energy was wiped out. 300m fun but shorter should be better.
Was introduced to a new ODD and EVEN week system which didnt go down well with me. New teachers, which in my opinion are better TEACH ers. Hope it s a blessing for the sake of A s. Haha Gabs had some comments about our new Commando, which i sort of agree.
PE. New rule. Gotta do pull ups every time. Haha it s good in a way since i m just too lazy to pull on my own. Max probably dropped to 8. Hey hey but i gained a hell lot of weight, 60 plus range already. More than one sac of rice compared to the ape to carry. Anw do 10 for NAPFA should be enough la.
Thursday was KO for me. PE, Capts Ball, then Touch Rug, then Soccer and TRAINING. Timed 800s. Died on the 3rd set. The wind hated me.
MSA. Studied things that never came out. Oh well failure aint the end, i m no stranger to it anyway. Just gotta make sure i ditch it by October.
Elder sis birthday. Crystal Jade. Quite a simple affair.
Next week 2 more MSAs, and and and CNY to look forward to!!

I guess that s about it before school term started. Was rushing through some work towards the end but wasnt much.
SCHOOL!!!
Just one word. EXHAUSTED.
Wasnt used to the new clock. Day 1 was shitty. Ended at 5. And training was draining. Every bit of energy was wiped out. 300m fun but shorter should be better.
Was introduced to a new ODD and EVEN week system which didnt go down well with me. New teachers, which in my opinion are better TEACH ers. Hope it s a blessing for the sake of A s. Haha Gabs had some comments about our new Commando, which i sort of agree.
PE. New rule. Gotta do pull ups every time. Haha it s good in a way since i m just too lazy to pull on my own. Max probably dropped to 8. Hey hey but i gained a hell lot of weight, 60 plus range already. More than one sac of rice compared to the ape to carry. Anw do 10 for NAPFA should be enough la.
Thursday was KO for me. PE, Capts Ball, then Touch Rug, then Soccer and TRAINING. Timed 800s. Died on the 3rd set. The wind hated me.
MSA. Studied things that never came out. Oh well failure aint the end, i m no stranger to it anyway. Just gotta make sure i ditch it by October.
Elder sis birthday. Crystal Jade. Quite a simple affair.
Next week 2 more MSAs, and and and CNY to look forward to!!

Disappointment
My eyes opened to disappointment.
Never knew there would be doubts.
At least the edema is subsiding.

0600 - 1500
I m just rotting at home all day long.
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter.
That s so true.
Actually i m sort of enjoying my new clock. It rocks. When it reads 0600, it s time to sleep! And the next time i open my eyes, it s either 1400 or 1500 or even 1600. And it s time to slack. Because there s a million distractions in the day. But when the clock strikes 0000. Everything goes silent and there s nothing left but books. Ok maybe there s still the guitar. But not much of it.
Anyway, training yesterday was great. Running running running. 600m. 400m. Striding. Sprinting. Shallnt think of running, if not the adrenaline is back again. Good luck to the sprinters for Saturday.
Cage tml. Yep again. Tata.

NEW YEAR 2009
The date reads 1 January 2009.
This is what happened right before that.
Woke up early and was very very very lethargic. Still managed to throw myself on the buses to Kallang Leisure Park. About a 2 hour long ride, i should really find an alternative way of going there. Did that little bit of work at the Food Court with Ying Lun and moved to Cage to kick some balls.
>>> Ying wanted to prove his point that he was scammed by Kou Fu. Big Gulp vs Kou Fu Bandung, 10 cents difference.
Cage was quite sian, had little playing time. Went home after that. Shawn followed since he claimed he ll sleep if he goes home. So it was another long bus journey. Almost died of hunger together and was saved by instant noodles at home. Shawn wiped out half a container of my cookies!!!! My breakfast!
Was suppose to quickly eat, bathe and leave, but ended up playing guitar and singing songs, thanks to Shawn Yeo. But it was quite a nice session. Guardian Angel was the best. Real climax. Lips of an Angel was good too.
Bathed and left for City Hall. As Shawn said, the whole Singapore's going there. City Link was bad, but it was just the intro, the whole area was flooded with people. Met the rest which were trackers, Ying, En Hao, Nic Kang, Antonio, Guan Ming & Wen Hui (aka the couple) at the bridge, Esplanade Drive, same as last year. Squeezed with the crowd, just to get across to Fullerton. Moved like a penguin.
Booked our place, expanded territory since there were more people coming. Shawn's 2 pon stars Annabel and Ivan, and unexpectedly the Cage people this morning Alwyn and gang. Sat there and waited for the new year. There was only one person cam whoring.
>>> You cant see him.
Ying said it is the people. I guess it s true. The people you want to be there aint there. The person that should be there to draw a smile wasnt there. Reuben, Jeremy, Ming, Jun Jie, Slut and maybe one or two others that shouldnt be missing.

>>> You cant see him.
>>> You cant see me.
>>> AHA! The whore. A camera one. Everyone agrees.
>>> The cage people. Jackston (spelt like this?) and i think Ye Sheng. Aint close to em.
The time drew near, all stood up and SQUEEEEEEEZZEEEE to the barricade to get the closest view. And some Indian national was molesting me the whole time. Maybe i m fated to be molested. At least i wasnt brave enough to exclaim like Ying, "Stop touching my butt!" lol. Yea he was just pushing his way all the way to the front but i wouldnt budge. Latecomers will not be entertained.
The countdown was pathetic. Wait, there was NO COUNTDOWN at all. where was the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1? Suddenly the fireworks came up and the Indian fella jumped up and down to get a view (you see, his eyes wasnt at the 1.8m level. about 1.6m) Anyway, the display was shorter than last year. Didnt take any pics because the cam was still in Shawn s bag. I learnt my lesson from last year, was videoing the whole thing and couldnt enjoy the fireworks fully. So i just stood there and watch.
It ended as quickly as it started and all start to leave. Nic Kang and Ying went a lil crazy but still not as crazy as last year. Belmond, Thaddeus and Tan Chien Ming. The ultimate combo. There was something missing this year. I wasnt happy. The cage people broke off almost immediately. And we all SQUEEEEZEED yet again with the crowd at the road across to Fullerton. Sent out greetings on my phone with strangers surrounding me. Guan Ming was busy protecting his girl.
Kept a look out for my friends.
There was no enjoyment at all. We walked towards Singapore River. Pon Stars broke off. The remainder headed towards Clarke Quay Central.
Ying said it is the people. I guess it s true. The people you want to be there aint there. The person that should be there to draw a smile wasnt there. Reuben, Jeremy, Ming, Jun Jie, Slut and maybe one or two others that shouldnt be missing.
So in the end, 6 of us ate at BK Central before finally heading home at about 2.30am. Took NR7. Long journey again. Stood for most of the journey. As usualy when you have nothing to do you start thinking. From heart wrenching to heart warming to heart breaking to heart pounding. 800m, 2 rounds, adrenaline, fear. Between t and v. How the night could have been better.
Bus didnt stop right at the door step. Gotta walk some distance before reaching home. It was lonely. Had to scan the surroundings the whole time. Switch off mp3 music. Glance over
shoulders. Fight and flight adrenaline. Had to be careful. 3am, camera, phone, wallet.
Last year, the same walk home was cheerful. I was smiling about all the crazy stuff. The NUM
hand. The whoring. The shouting and screaming. Random wishing of Happy New Year. It s just passe.
Reached home at 3.30am. Considered early. But slept at 6am. My clock is just screwed. Ming invited us to cage again, 12pm but i was still in la la land. Only woke up at 4pm in time for lunch and dinner. Must find the mood for work again! Just lost it.
Happy New Year, not so happy afterall.

YEAR 2008
YEAR TWO ZERO ZERO EIGHT
2008 began with a bang! PAE at CJC. Orientation was fun, really fun. Even the mass dance was fun, usually generalized as corny or lame or simply disgusting. The games combined both brains and brawn, interactive, and made us bond with the IG mates (as what they call at CJ). IG 3, jem was just next door. Haha we actually appealled together and got in, me, of course the infamous 19 points. Nice chat with Brother Paul.
Orientation was over in a flash, time for studies. At least that s what i thought. I wanted my JC life to be as mugger as possible. And i managed to accomplished that in 1T26. BCM H1 E. I was called the smartest in the class by teachers and classmates (which obviously isnt true! lol), was the ultimate nerd, raising hands and legs to answer questions or to ask questions, sometimes just to save the class in the eerie silence when the teacher s awaiting an answer. Attended lectures religiously, listened attentively, took down extra notes, went home finished homework, revised got ready for next day. It just went on and on, became a routine.
CJC Soccer trials. What can i say? No chance? Probably not. Minute chance. Started out at my faved position RB did nothing wrong, made overlapping runs, defended well, crossed for the striker, covered for CB, launched counter attacks. The coach made some readjustments and i was the CB, maybe to test my versatility, but i know it ll fail. Hadnt the composure yet, wasnt commanding, and my head wasnt strong yet. And the one punt probably killed me. It was going to land right between me and the temporary keeper. The opposing striker was chasing and pushing. I was out of position to even touch the ball so i just blocked off the guy and let the keeper handle but obviously a temp wouldnt know what to do right. He let it bounce and the striker pounced. Beep beep beep. OUT.
Ah whatever. That gave me more time to mug. To go for class outings, like the one to Prata House. Bonding was good, Edmund, Sean Ong, Yu Chen, Desmond etc. Shower times were fun, the music blasting in the classroom, dai dee and bridge. Ponned last day to hang out at Macs Serene Centre. It was a fun time PAE.
Then came JAE, St. Andrew's Junior College. Orientation, sorry SC but the orientation for JAE was bad. Even i couldnt take it and crashed Shawn's OG. OG 21 was merely some 7 people? I think even less. Haha the mass dance was a BAD BAD BAD experience. Multiply that a 100 times. Finale was a show off for a band? Got quite a bad impression of what i was in for the next 1.75 years. Had literally zero friends, just spent time finding Shawn, Yew Tong and Ying Lun that was always MIA, still searching for NJ. Ponned together with Shawn's Pon Stars, security talk, some lectures, and went for Choir Concert. Felt out of place.
Subject combi, BCME all H2. Stuck with Bio. Because i just didnt like physics. Didnt think H1 Econs and H2 Econs made much of a difference but now i know. Then came 08S19. Ms Ye Meixiu as Civics Tutor. I thought i was done for. STRICT as she looked. The scene will always be stuck in my head. The first interaction was outside LT3, the benches, Nicholas was talking a lot, so i thought it s good to make friends with the more sociable one first, Jolena was friendly too. The first classroom i think was D block first floor. Darren next to me, Nicholas next to him. Seriously their conversation topic sparked no interest. All the girls sat together, different uniforms, different impressions. I was early and got to see most walking through the door. Hahah then 2 punks came in! And an IJ girl came in with an attitude. lol quite a sight.
Break time Lois was trying to remember the names, Class Com election i was trying to remember the names. It didnt take long. Hahn Dong Seok was familiar at least, but MIA that day. Was saboed to be Welfare. Was still unfamiliar with these peeps and went on searching for Ying Lun and Shawn. Sat with them for a few lectures and learnt nothing. Ended up talking more than listening. The time table s a killer. 4.30pm?!! CJC s 1.00pm to say farewell! Not used to the long long days, and the people.
At least there was PW. I didnt want to be involve with the group selection process, just wanted fate to decide. And the result was the Polka Dots, the Crescent and some WEIRDO. lol. jk. I had no idea what the hell was PW about, and didnt know what am i suppose to do. The bleddy booklet was so sucky in explaining something new to a noob like me so i couldnt contribute much to the first discussion. Just played along, looking forward to going home and sleep.
Track and Field. Shawn s persuasion usually works. I had nothing to join anyway. Soccer was attractive but didnt appeal much to me in the circumstances. Track was in quite a mess when i joined. SPRINTS was BOOM! A hell lot of people. I thought whoa so many fast people in SA. It turned out it s your choice where you want to go. In SJI i was never known for sprinting, there are probably a 100 people faster than me in a 100m. Ok maybe not. Say 50? Yea so it made no sense to join sprints at that time. So DISTANCE was the choice. I was prepared to run and run and run. That s what i do best anyway.
Training was tough. Introduction was Fartleks. Lunges. Torture. Havent been exercising regularly before that. Track made me do so. I must really pay tribute to my legs this year.
They RAN more than 1000 KM this year.
They KICKED Thousands of BALLS this year.
They CYCLED merely 200km this year.
They LUNGED more than 1000 this year.
They SQUATED more than 1000 this year.
And
They WALKED God knows how many MILES this year.
the list goes on... and on.
the calf raise, the leg extension, the step ups blah blah blah.
Back to studies. It started out quite well actually, but for my father's standard it s considered low. The first tests were all Bs. Because i had a good foundation at CJ. After that, it was all downhill. EEEEE SSSSS UUUUUU. They became my friends for mid years.
Training was energy zapping, had no time or strength to concentrate on work. Sleep was often the one being sacrificed. Often a zombie.
May 08, i was just having a casual chat with Tim about OCIP and it became a serious subject. Cambodia seemed reachable as a class OCIP at the end of the year. We worked together to plan for the trip, every single detail. It all turned out well till the usual root of all problems surfaced - $$$$$. People became disinterested. Even with the small group we persisted, PLAN A, PLAN B, PLAN Z. None became true. 2009? I dunno.
There was FPSP too. Spent quite some time on it. It was a refreshing experience that made me really think. The competition structure was appealling too. All the time with Ms Ye, at her house, at Paya Lebar and the time in her car. At least we were top 5 in Singapore.
PW nights were great, i was closer and closer to the 3 culprits that never ran out of topics to talk about. The pin was the only guy who recognised the shape of a football in the class. Hui hui was a mother to all. Lois just kept talking. But, we still did the work, we were on task, after many soloing at home and compiling together. PW was probably one of the distractions from the other subjects. It was the only non-typical MOE academic subject. I rather write reports than to do tutorials. National Library was our new found home. We became food hunters from Han's downstairs to Bugis Junction to the hawker centre opposite OG. FIFA 08 was another digress.
SO, THE OVERALL EQUATION:
TRACK + PW + FPSP + OCIP + SLEEP DEPRIVED = FAIL
Gotta admit though that i was slack as usual in SJI, and allowed the 'i-dunnos' to snowball. Promos came so quickly. The last minute method usually save my blushes. Mugged quite madly but still not ultimately i think. Food was the fuel for me and the scavengers alongside me to keep going. Snacks ranged from Khong Guan crackers to Ko ko Krunch to Ohs to Chocolate Waffers to Lexus to whatever there is on the table at home. Gabriel was the ape. He still is.
So, promos, just scraped it. Father pissed. I m pissed with myself. There are so many things that could have been reversed. Simple things like knowing the difference between the small minus and the big minus sign on the GC could have made things a hell lot better. Things like knowing how to vomit points instead of pointless elaboration that waste time and just plain moving the pen faster could have made the card look nicer.
Anyway what s done s done. It was time to party! Eh no, not yet. PW s home stretch. THE WR, THE OP. chionged chionged chionged. practised practised practised. hope it s worth it.
PARTY! no still not yet. there s CHINESE A s. It was sandwiched in between the PW madness. Didnt prepare much for it, i should have at least watched more Chinese programmes on TV. Too much English for PW did me no good. In the end i think it was a screw up. Haiya.. come what may, another few months with lao shi next year?
FINALLY a break. Class chalet top of priority since every one s gonna be busy. It was quite good apart from some 50% attendance and a mirco percentage of people staying over. Those who wanted to enjoy did enjoy, that included Ms Ye! Wiiiiiii!!!
Track Chalet, a complete success. Night cycling, one of the craziest night of the year. Red House remains as the joke of the year. haha.
After the chalets, it was all rotting at home for me, bombarding buffet food into my stomach, training after training, movies movies movies, guitar guitar guitar. And the almost once a week Cage affair. Seriously, this is the most good food year ever. Even with the recession in our faces, the expenditure i see is really a contradiction.
The Top 10 Best Food that ended up in my stomach in 2008 came from...
1. Pan Pacific Hotel
2. Meritus Mandarin Hotel
3. Swissotel
4. Traders Hotel
5. Grand Copthorne Waterfront
6. M Hotel
7. Hotel Grand Central
8. Miramar Hotel
9. Orchard Orchid Hotel
10. Shokudo? No no.. my own cookies!
(The ranking is purely subjective.)
Had my first job at Suntec for banquet. Money dun come easily. Good experience. Saw behind the scenes that would be so familiar when i am the one having the buffet. The kitchen, the storage department, decoy, the cargo lift and the WASTAGE.
That s about it.
MY 2008.
MY RESOLUTION, simple, one word - MUG
My MOTTO, remains the same,
COME WHAT MAY, 2009!

Christmas 08
***** MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS!!! *****
oh wait maybe not, since Christmas is 12 days right?
This week has been slack physically. Have been eating like mad again. There was the Garuda Indonesian Buffet, there was the The Buffet buffet at M Hotel, there was the annual Christmas home buffet at Aunt's house and my very own cookie buffet at home. Wiped out about 5 containers of cookies by myself in 2 weeks. Hahaha i really wonder what s the size of my stomach.
At least there was gym, did own running, and swimming. Havent been swimming since Sec 1? Almost forgot freestyle. lol. But it was refreshing, just swimming on my own, up and down up and down. The goggles actually snapped when i stretched it, showed how long it hasnt been used. Hope to go more regularly since it s part of individual track training.
2008 s almost done, 2009 approaching, that means J2s coming, MSA s shouting HELLO! and i dun even know what are the topics. Some kind soul please drop a tag on the topics or please blog about it and i ll patronise. Life's really boring.
Ok shall go do some work. Emphasizing some again. ;)
merry xmas once again peeps!
oh wait maybe not, since Christmas is 12 days right?
This week has been slack physically. Have been eating like mad again. There was the Garuda Indonesian Buffet, there was the The Buffet buffet at M Hotel, there was the annual Christmas home buffet at Aunt's house and my very own cookie buffet at home. Wiped out about 5 containers of cookies by myself in 2 weeks. Hahaha i really wonder what s the size of my stomach.

Update
HELLO! I'm Shahfiq and i took a nong nong time to update.
.jpg)
Havent been online for probably a week or so. Hmm going back where i left off, it's a terrible memory test.
WEDNESDAY [2 WEEKS AGO]
Honestly, i cant remember what happened. Slacking around? Guitar? Oh, i went shopping with mum. AH.. BOLT with Shawn at Shaw Lido. Quite a nice show, good plot, probably more suited for older kids and above.
THURSDAY [2 WEEKS AGO]
Training. Warm up around the school, Drills, Canteen to LT 1 lunges 6 sets, 400m striding 3 sets.
I couldnt move my legs after that. I think went out after training, but cant remember where.
FRIDAY [2 WEEKS AGO]
Yep this was my official first work day. It was kinda hectic. Rushed down to Suntec City to meet the people i was working with. They are... RICHARD, IRIS, OLIVIA and SELINA!!! Hahahaha, and good to meet you, my name's Shahfiq, I play sooocccerr, guitttarrr, but i dun smoookkkee. In case you were wondering who are those mysterious people, Richard's Shawn, Olivia's Lois, Gabriel's IRIS!!, Jun Jia's SELINNNAAAA!!! now that's hot!!
Anyway, did the standard procedure, check in, collected the horrible uniform (ok it wasnt that bad), got changed and there was some attire check. UNFORTUNATELY, i was picked out for socks because i was wearing LPO's patterned socks which wasnt pure black. great. Jun Jia obviously got caught for his grey pants. The rest passed. It was quite lame. IT S JUST SOCKS, who the hell will see it when i m wearing longs! Anyway made a frantic rush to buy black socks from the mall and in the end, colour-blind and got grey socks. But hecked and went back just in time to be taken in by another group. They didnt check 2nd time. Wasted 5 bucks.
It turned out that the group me and jun jia were in was to serve people from some engineering company holding a Christmas Buffet dinner. Haha duper lucky to get a buffet. Jun jia had to clear tables and serve drinks while the Captain gave me the easiest job. Be in charge of the Buffet food!
1. Loosen up the plastic wrappers used to wrap the buffet food (can only open at 8pm)
2. Arrange all the cutlery for scooping up the food, with the side plates
3. Stand around till the speech was over
4. Remove the plastic wrappers
5. Open up the covers
6. Ensure there are enough plates
7. Put back all scooping cutlery to the side plates
8. Changing side plates and cutlery
9. Clearing up
10. RESIST THE FOOD!
>>> Yea i had some time to slack before 8pm while the guests were having cocktail
It wasnt the hardest job. The clearing up part was perhaps the most demanding, having to carry many many plates and bowls on a big tray, bringing to decoy at the back and even to the first storey storage and washing. Resisting the food was quite a mental challenge. My stomach was growling like mad coz i only had 2 slices of bread since 12pm and had to endure till 11pm with tons of good food parked before me. The fragrance sucking into my nose, i almost gave in and wanted to take a cookie but resisted. I must do my job well. AND there was the clearing up part where all the leftovers are THROWN INTO THE BIN. I was looking forward to the end so i can enjoy the leftovers BUT they threw it away!! The beef, the pasta, the chicken, the appetiser, the soup, and probably the desert after i left. I could only grab 3 pieces of roast chicken before it met it s doom in the bin. Ultimate food wastage. Heart pain.
Anyway they promised to let us go at 11 and they did, got changed and checked out, got my pay and met family to get my dinner! Miserable mee pok compared to the food in the bin.
SATURDAY [2 WEEKS AGO]
nothing much in the day i guess, but i baked cookies again at night.
SUNDAY [2 WEEKS AGO]
i think i went for badminton. that s about it.
MONDAY [LAST WEEK]
Training in the morning, pretty slack. I didnt sleep at all so was quite shag. Took a nice bath after that and had to buy tiramisu cake for Pam's bd but PP didnt have so i had to go to Dhobby to find. Ran into Zhen He, long time no see, he was at Secret Recipe too. Got a slice and took 190 to SJI. Almost missed the stop coz i was snoozing the whole time. 156 to Marymount for CIP. Was in time for belated lunch and only had to do some tuition. Had some fun marking the P2 assessment books. Went out with Pam, Lois, Gab and Pin. Far East Shopping centre. HR Evergreen. Then strolled down Orchard Road, Wisma, Ngee Ann, then bussed to National Library because Ape wants to return a book. Rekindled PW nights.
haha this time went a step further, sat around in Allson Hotel across the road, enjoyed the air con for a while and i had to go to Suntec to meet Ying and Shawn. Jeremy supposedly had free Twilight tickets but it was a scam and it all went to nought. Damn Dean. Anyway, had dinner at food court, cards outside ROCK. Bridge and 41. Ying gotta buy groceries, so we had a nice leisure walk in the supermarket, in windbreakers and with the buddies, it was just comfort and smiles. Enjoyed their company to the max! Stood up sleeping on the train, people kept staring coz i kept bowing down unconsciously until finally getting a seat. Long tiring day.
TUESDAY [LAST WEEK]
Went to Ying's house in the morn 9am just to play his acoustic. Jem bought 09 so suppose to play some too but he woke up late and didnt get much chance. Left for school, Broadway lunch then did some Math in school before training. Basket ball with Ying, Guan Ming, Ying Wei, Lip Chiau and Monique. Quite fun, scored 4. Won in the end.
Gym training, xiong. Now that i ve completed my sheet, i wonder what s next. Dinner KFC, cards as usual.
WEDNESDAY [LAST WEEK]
Track gathering at Xiao Ping's house at Tanah Merah. Rocks.
It s a bleddy nice, gigantic house with facilities to dream for. He has a dog, a modified bike, a garden, a superb study room that cant be better for more conducive studying, an attic with a pool table, an exercise corner with those machines and weights, a basement with a jamming studio complete with a bass guitar, an acoustic with plug, a drum set, a piano, a keyboard, and a micro phone. What s more, there s a table tennis table in there. Choose 3 words to exclaim now. eh.. i choose... OMG.
Just went there to create some noise on the guitar, the drums and piano and had to leave for dental and to CCK for pam's bd party. Met lois, gab and pin at Bukit Panjang Plaza before going to Hazel Park for BBQ and some kick about with her brother and friends. Those boys love hugging. Gabs getting better and better! Practised some headers, Pin's crosses are still among the best.
Caught the 2nd last train and bus home, if not i would have really walked home from Bugis. Probably will take 5 hours? Maybe less.
THURSDAY [LAST WEEK]
CAGE. Suppose to be 7 to 11 but couldnt book so booked 8 to 10, but played till 11 plus since no one chased us out. It was a small and casual affair, 2 teams, Jun jia, wing keong, collin, daniel, hannan, jeremy, shawn, christopher, benedict, ryan and me. Best performance ever. Tackles were good, forward runs good, solo runs good, shots good, passes good, keeping good, stamina best. 5 goals for the icing. kept running even when the rest were out. Collin and Daniel had a frustrating time but it was a true friendly occasion so no bad blood, just play futsal!
KFC free flow drinks, some 2 man bridge with shawn before going home, had doc s apppointment. Was suppose to go for Volunteer s Appreciation Night but couldnt make it.
FRIDAY [last week]
Went to Bugis OG with family then to Courts Tampines to get a new com, coz the com on my left just crashed. They were out of stock. Moved to IKEA next door for meatballs. Then to Giant opposite for groceries. I wonder how many times i frequent that area this year.
SATURDAY
Woke up early to go to Harbourfront area to walk the Henderson bridge since mum insists. It s some canopy walk. Walked to mount faber and ran back to the car, before running back to meet them again. Part of training. The slopes caused some problems and the human traffic s the worst. I hate obstructions.
SUNDAY
Sat in front of TV the whole afternoon, had dinner and continued Singapore vs Vietnam. They lost undeservingly. Curse of the Golden Flower, caught glimpses of it, the massacre was gruesome. How far will you go to protect your prince? Stand in the way of a moving wall of spikes, climb up that wall and get stabbed or pushed down, block all arrows with your body? The spirit of a Chinese soldier is indeed worth applauding. Baked more cookies again because i realised i wiped out 4 containers of it in 1 week. hahaha! it beats Famous Amos and Chips More hands down okay! ask ying!
Managed to catch Arsenal vs Liverpool on TV in my living room! But i cant even see the players properly, the screen s jumpy and the colour's off. But just enough to make out the figures and the commentary's good. The new DVD recorder/player does wonders. It can auto search channels that are not suppose to be for people like me, without the box to watch. Anyway, it s just 11 more months to the real Football Channel on my TV, freedom's approaching!
what a long post. hahaha!

Mundane week
It s just another mundane week. Seems like i m more motivated to update my blog than to start mugging.
THURSDAY
.jpg)
>>> this gave me a horrible blister on the heel.
His name s Jeffery Fok, living in CCK and happened to take the same bus, sitting somewhere at the back also. And how on earth did he get a phone number when i do not have a single one written on any paper in my wallet? It s my pathetic inactivated SIM card. It just so happened that my US POLO wallet had a SIM card pocket and so happened that i had my old SIM card after i changed phone (to 3G SIM) lying around and i decided to slot it in the pocket. You cant make calls or msg with the SIM card but all my contacts are still in there.
And so, i completed circuit 2 sets happily even though i couldnt do the cool down 6 rounds, started to cramp after a 6 hours of vigourous exercise. Arranged to meet Jeff Fok at Lot 1 since he stay near there and left for the rendezvous with Shawn and Ying hitching a ride on my dad s car. Met him at Macs, collected wallet, thank him profusely, then headed to food court with Ying for dinner before finally going home.
SATURDAY
Went to IKEA Tampines to return some defect drawers and ended up shopping there till dinner. It was damn crowded. But as usual, loved the IKEA ambience. I should work there!
Watched the exciting Amazing Race finale and 2 movies till about 4 am when got home.
TUESDAY
Gym training. Tiring. It was more of cardio training than strength la. But ok managed it pretty well. Dinner with track peeps chicken rice then moved to KFC to play cards. Good bridging session and a new game called 41. Both thrilling and fun. Good session.
That s my boring life! Gotta start mugging soon!
THURSDAY
Cage.
.jpg)
>>> this gave me a horrible blister on the heel.
other than that, played well in the beginning. 'imba' team. Jun jia, Shawn, Jeremy, Cheng Weng and me. won 4 consecutive games at the start but after that, started to tire and the wrong people are put as keeper. Some people are just not suited to keep. Had many half chances making late runs up front but honestly, i should have done better on all occassions. Jeremy the provider of most crosses. Loved Cheng Weng's trickery and awareness, he improved a hell lot from last time. Even defensively. Opponents werent happy that we stayed in there for a bit too long and started to play aggressive, trapped in the corner for many times and lost the ball too many times there. Other than that, it was a decent performance.
Showered and left for Orchard, to have lunch with Shawn and Jun Jie at Lido, meeting Lois and friend to collect and submit application form. Took 190 to SJI to change. and when i alighted, i realised that my wallet wasnt with me! Called SMRT but their lines were always engaged. Managed to call through after some time, described what happened but was stranded at the bus stop because Shawn had NO MONEY at all with him. And then Wing Keong appeared (who also went for cage) and we managed to get a dollar from him so that i could move myself to SAJC for training. Was totally not in the mood for training, held my phone even during warm ups running around the school for 15minutes hoping for a phone call bearing good news. No call until when we started circuit, my mother called to say that some one found my wallet and called home. Was kinda stunned but just took down the guy s number and called him.
His name s Jeffery Fok, living in CCK and happened to take the same bus, sitting somewhere at the back also. And how on earth did he get a phone number when i do not have a single one written on any paper in my wallet? It s my pathetic inactivated SIM card.

You cant make calls or msg with the SIM card but all my contacts are still in there.
Thankfully Mr Jeffery Fok was curious enough to insert that SIM card into his phone to check for my home phone and called my mum. Amazing.
And so, i completed circuit 2 sets happily even though i couldnt do the cool down 6 rounds, started to cramp after a 6 hours of vigourous exercise. Arranged to meet Jeff Fok at Lot 1 since he stay near there and left for the rendezvous with Shawn and Ying hitching a ride on my dad s car. Met him at Macs, collected wallet, thank him profusely, then headed to food court with Ying for dinner before finally going home.
Ok it was the only eventful day the whole week.
FRIDAY
Met up with Gabs to sign up for banquet at Far East shopping centre before meeting Reuben to sign up shaw and banquet and finally meeting aunt at Taka for some short shopping and dinner. I probably walked up and down the Orchard underpass 6 or more times, even those people giving out flyers could have recognised and remembered me as the idiot who has nothing to do but walk up and down the same bleddy path over and over again.
Aunt initially wanted Angus Steakhouse but no space. the steak there cost about $50 bucks a piece. so in the end migrated to Sabai Thai Restaurant. Just thai food in small portions but big price tags. it was nice i have to admit but some dishes were super SPICY! Walked around after that to find a Christmas tree for her house but couldnt find a suitable one. Went home in the end.
SATURDAY
Went to EXPO for John Little Sale. Wanted to buy pants and shoes but couldnt find the right ones. Ended up filling up the bag with 6 packets of koropok since it was buy 5 get 1 free. BK for dinner, go home watched
Hidalgo - movie about a horse which isnt pure bred, mustang and how together with the American owner they created history by travelling across the Arabian desert in one of the most gruelling races in the world. Hidalgo is ownage. the horse i mean.
baked cookies with sister again till about 2am. this time, when i first bite it, i almost cried. It s heavenly. The last time was a total screw up, this time a success. by now, the 2 containers of cookies are almost depleting, should be baking some time soon to refill!
SUNDAY
Went to IKEA Tampines to return some defect drawers and ended up shopping there till dinner. It was damn crowded. But as usual, loved the IKEA ambience. I should work there!
MONDAY
Used the free bowling coupon at Downtown East. Had dinner there at Subway while waiting for the 17 people long queue. Done with my foot long chicken teriyaki but there were still 10 people in the queue! Walked around with dad and sisters before finally getting a lane. Hahaha still damn sucky 128 points but i was happy with the TURKEY! 3 strikes in a row. I think i found my ideal ball weight 11 pounds.
Watched the exciting Amazing Race finale and 2 movies till about 4 am when got home.
Mummy 3 - Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was ok but a bit too ridiculous. The heroes never ever die. Female lead changed and it made a hell lot of difference to the story. And wth the son looked older than the father who never changed a bit in 13 years. Michelle Yeoh had a Malaysian accent, Isabella Leong had a Hong Konger accent, Jet Li had a China accent and they are all suppose to be natives of ancient China. I cant believe the skilled emperor can actually lose in a fist fight battle to some mummy hunter. One word for the movie 'WOW!'
Rescue Dawn - About some US pilot who was suppose to bomb Laos in the Vietnam War but was shot down and captured. He was reunited with other POWs and planned to escape from the camp. Good plan but the jungle was the real prison and he had to survive in the wild in horrible conditions. In the end he was picked up by the US choppers and returned as a hero. His friends didnt make it.
TUESDAY
Gym training. Tiring. It was more of cardio training than strength la. But ok managed it pretty well. Dinner with track peeps chicken rice then moved to KFC to play cards. Good bridging session and a new game called 41. Both thrilling and fun. Good session.
That s my boring life! Gotta start mugging soon!

Hotel Food Week
I m blogging because i cant sleep. Doesnt that line sound familiar?
I hate tossing and turning on the bed. Torture. Especially when you have nothing to do but to think about things that you are not suppose to think of.
Anyway, i should continue from where i left off.
SATURDAY
cant remember what happened. i think i just sat there and rot the whole day. been watching movies.
Hancock - watched it many many days ago. something new but wasnt very impressive. predictable.
The Kite Runner - simply touching. lessons learnt.
We Were Soldiers - not a typical war show. displayed another side of the war, the wives of the soldiers. but of course the focal point was still the fighting of Vietnam War.
still many more to watch. i m a movie man!
SUNDAY
went to Pan Pacific Hotel 37th level for brunch at Hai Tien Lo. buffet brunch, more of chinese food, cantonese food. highlights = Buddha Jump Jump Jump (obviously i came up with the name, but you should know what s it) , Sharks fin slup, some Dim Sum, Wasabi prawns, ah whatever, just good food that only my aunt can afford to treat.
Watched BPL matches, chelsea lost at home again. Van persie was offside though. sadly.
MONDAY
training similar to last week, 200 200 200 200 400 400 400 400 x 2. I was feeling better, could have gone another set or two. 400m lunges quite a killer but still didnt feel THAT bad. i could still race 200m with Shawn after training justifies that.
Showered and rushed off to Miramar Hotel 1st level Ikoi Japanese Restaurant for dinner. Aunt's treat again. TWO DAYS IN A ROW BUFFET!!! this time it s jap buffet. it's pretty good. Spammed Sashimi, tempura, chawamushi etc etc and some non typical jap food. It was satisfying.
TUESDAY
Badminton with 2 sis and dad in the early afternoon before going for training. Gym. Wasnt that bad. Hmm i think i m getting stronger since i m not feeling much adverse side effects. 4 sets really work you out. and this new exercise called Power Clean, is what you see on TV in the Olympics. Deadlift, power momentum lift the bar up to chest level and then lift it over the head. That s weightlifting!! not gym workout! no..i ll grow shorter soon..
Raining cats and dogs so was trapped in school. suppose to meet up with usual peeps for movie but last minute cancelled. So went to have dinner with track peeps, KFC and bridge till they closed shop.
WEDNESDAY
Trained down to town with aunt and mum to Shaw since i gotta go there to get a form. Met up with Gab and Lois at Lido before finding our way. Walked around after that, ended up in PS and they ate Cafe Cartel while i munched on some free flow bread. Marks and Spencers is another scammer according to Gab it s 3 times the normal price (British pound).
Dispersed and i went to Hotel Grand Central 2nd level Tien Jin Lo for dinner with parents, aunt and uncle. Ok this isnt buffet but the way she ordered the food, it s something like an ala carte buffet. Another bowl of sharks fin soup, venison, beef, those standard chicken plus salt etc etc. I almost died exercising last week, this week i m gonna die of eating!
3 days Hotel Meal in a week and it s B-U-F-F-A-T. my stomach is the size of this post.
thought of bombarding good food pics but phone cam down, sooo tooo badd!
Prison Break is good to me. But some people think shouldnt drag for so long. maybe this should be the last season. I can bet i ll be able to find a few plot holes because this show is too complicated - even for the scriptwriters. nevertheless, gotta admit they are smart. all the codes, the complications, the language, hidden meanings, they all kinda fit together, for a plan to make all of this right. Brilliant.
Anyway Cage later. And i doubt i can get some winks. I ll just lie there again and see how things goes. wait, i wont be able to see anything. Ok, imagine how things goes.
I can't sleep because i can't stop thinking.
disappearing.
not.
W-H-Y.
I hate tossing and turning on the bed. Torture. Especially when you have nothing to do but to think about things that you are not suppose to think of.
Anyway, i should continue from where i left off.
SATURDAY
cant remember what happened. i think i just sat there and rot the whole day. been watching movies.
Hancock - watched it many many days ago. something new but wasnt very impressive. predictable.
The Kite Runner - simply touching. lessons learnt.
We Were Soldiers - not a typical war show. displayed another side of the war, the wives of the soldiers. but of course the focal point was still the fighting of Vietnam War.
still many more to watch. i m a movie man!
SUNDAY
went to Pan Pacific Hotel 37th level for brunch at Hai Tien Lo. buffet brunch, more of chinese food, cantonese food. highlights = Buddha Jump Jump Jump (obviously i came up with the name, but you should know what s it) , Sharks fin slup, some Dim Sum, Wasabi prawns, ah whatever, just good food that only my aunt can afford to treat.
Watched BPL matches, chelsea lost at home again. Van persie was offside though. sadly.
MONDAY
training similar to last week, 200 200 200 200 400 400 400 400 x 2. I was feeling better, could have gone another set or two. 400m lunges quite a killer but still didnt feel THAT bad. i could still race 200m with Shawn after training justifies that.
Showered and rushed off to Miramar Hotel 1st level Ikoi Japanese Restaurant for dinner. Aunt's treat again. TWO DAYS IN A ROW BUFFET!!! this time it s jap buffet. it's pretty good. Spammed Sashimi, tempura, chawamushi etc etc and some non typical jap food. It was satisfying.
TUESDAY
Badminton with 2 sis and dad in the early afternoon before going for training. Gym. Wasnt that bad. Hmm i think i m getting stronger since i m not feeling much adverse side effects. 4 sets really work you out. and this new exercise called Power Clean, is what you see on TV in the Olympics. Deadlift, power momentum lift the bar up to chest level and then lift it over the head. That s weightlifting!! not gym workout! no..i ll grow shorter soon..
Raining cats and dogs so was trapped in school. suppose to meet up with usual peeps for movie but last minute cancelled. So went to have dinner with track peeps, KFC and bridge till they closed shop.
WEDNESDAY
Trained down to town with aunt and mum to Shaw since i gotta go there to get a form. Met up with Gab and Lois at Lido before finding our way. Walked around after that, ended up in PS and they ate Cafe Cartel while i munched on some free flow bread. Marks and Spencers is another scammer according to Gab it s 3 times the normal price (British pound).
Dispersed and i went to Hotel Grand Central 2nd level Tien Jin Lo for dinner with parents, aunt and uncle. Ok this isnt buffet but the way she ordered the food, it s something like an ala carte buffet. Another bowl of sharks fin soup, venison, beef, those standard chicken plus salt etc etc. I almost died exercising last week, this week i m gonna die of eating!
3 days Hotel Meal in a week and it s B-U-F-F-A-T. my stomach is the size of this post.
thought of bombarding good food pics but phone cam down, sooo tooo badd!
Prison Break is good to me. But some people think shouldnt drag for so long. maybe this should be the last season. I can bet i ll be able to find a few plot holes because this show is too complicated - even for the scriptwriters. nevertheless, gotta admit they are smart. all the codes, the complications, the language, hidden meanings, they all kinda fit together, for a plan to make all of this right. Brilliant.
Anyway Cage later. And i doubt i can get some winks. I ll just lie there again and see how things goes. wait, i wont be able to see anything. Ok, imagine how things goes.
I can't sleep because i can't stop thinking.
disappearing.
not.
W-H-Y.

Track Chalet
I THOUGHT I WAS REALLY DEAD.
Seriously. This week has been whacky.
MONDAY
Training as usual. It wasnt one of the worst trainings but i was suffocating the whole time. Phlegm trapped in the throat, gasping for air. SIX ROUNDS WARM UP. 200 sprint, 200 jog, 200 sprint, 200 jog, 400 sprint, 400 jog. x 3. And all the upper body workout. 3 rounds cool down. (suppose to be 6 but we cheated and walked to bubble tea shop as part of the cool down).
Trained to Harbourfront Vivo for dinner with family. Food Republic is scam. Ok partly because i had 2 meals, chicken rice and hokkien mee but still, it s ex for the portion. that's why i had to down 2 meals at one shot right? Nice to walk around a big mall.
TUESDAY
Gym training. Lip Chiau ponned, so i had to solo. The sets are up to FOUR!!! Dynamic squats will kill me sometime soon. Sometimes i just wonder if the whole bar will engulf my shoulders and crash down all the way. Scott's gonna increase the weights soon, surely. The rest of the workout were pretty new but it's definitely one of the most tiring sessions.
WEDNESDAY
Track chalet! Cycled to Pasir Ris park to meet the rest and played captain's ball in the afternoon. It started to pour and we were all stranded at a pavillion. Embarked on a solo cycle to one end of Pasir Ris park to the other end. It's still pretty much alive after all these years. But it's obvious at certain areas that something has to be done. Checked in late as Ms Tan was late. Stoned around listen to guitar pros displaying their skills.
Checked in Aloha Loyang, BBQ food came, started fire in the rain with Shawn and En Hao. Haha it was quite hilarious. Dustbin covers, pot and pan covers, and finally an umbrella was used to shelter the charcoal and firestarters. Skewered and set up everything with Ying Lun. The sky was kinder after awhile. Fire started, food went on. Started pretty slow but soon everything went on smoothly. The S17 fire was good even though it was low quality charcoal. Food was cleared pretty fast. 10 plus all wiped out. Then there was some sort of farewell presentation which we gave the track tee and the specially made batons to the J2s. And there was Nelson's birthday celeb, sing song cut cake. Nice cake from four leaves. As usual the ones bbqing, were the last ones to eat. Had a CHICKEN WING TOAST with Shawn and En Hao: "We started it, we end it." Nice one guys.
Washed up and cleaned up with the fishermen (lip chiau and ying wei) while the boys went to play touch rugby, the seniors went drinking (Cheers nia), the couple went dating, the others went to fill up the remaining empty stomach, Ying emoed with the guitar in the room. Didnt feel like running so joined Ying with the emo. Until the touch ruggers invaded our privacy. Slacked around in the room, some played cards, some played guitar till about 1 plus,
THURSDAY
WE SET OFF ON THE CRAZY JOURNEY OF THE YEAR.
First - Checked the bikes, working order
Second - Route plan, RED HOUSE (some haunted house nearby) then to East Coast
Third - Formations and codes
no. 1 - Xiao Ping
no. 2 - Me
no. 3 - Nic Kang
no. 4 - En Hao
no. 5 - Jun Jia
no. 6 - Guan Ming
no. 7 - Shawn
no. 8 - Ying Lun
password - Hosni
and so we cycled in line to the supposedly scary and haunted house named RED HOUSE which even the guard asked us if we were sure we wanted to go there. We got the directions and off we went unsured and a lil shaken. Up the slope, across a field. La la la, everything was normal, we cycled and cycled and even overshot the HOUSE until someone spotted it. Yea, it s a house with RED GATE (locked) and 2 lion statues in front. We stopped at the entrance and looked inside. BOO nothing. waste of time. left the place and continued with plan.
first up to Tampines, to get out of Pasir Ris. i led the way since it s my territory. Park Connector past the Esso station and boom it started to rain not cats, not dogs but BILLIONS of WATER MOLECULES. Rescued valuables by stuffing all into Nic Kang s waterproof adidas jacket. And we went for a bath in the public on a 2 wheel vehicle. Soaked to the skin, through Sun Plaza park and through Tampines Regional Library, we headed for the interchange in the downpour. exciting it was. some stunt bikers at the interchange strutting their stuff were seriously stunned to see us appear out of no where - 8 drenched chicken that fell into soup. (pardon the direct translation from chinese)
we got off the bikes to cuddle together for warmth and release some warmth illegally in a corner. Infer if you need, i can't type it out here. but it was truly a helluva experience. No it's not over, the place which the only activity i did so far was to WALK passed probably a thousand times in my life was the place which i ate cup noodles at some booth table, camped outside Cheers and Macs, enjoying the music, and seeking refuge in Tampines Mall carpark. Not to mention the releasing heat experience. hahaha.
Lightning detered us from moving on. So we stayed till the rain got lesser and now Xiao Ping took the lead and got us moving past
Safra
Changi General Hospital
EXPO
Tanah Merah MRT station
HDB estates
ECP
the underground path
into East Coast Park
a real RED HOUSE (restaurant)
and to Macs for the half time break.
rested for some time, washed up a lil which was useless and off we went again, this time going back. Everyone were just complaining about the pain in the quads, the fatigue, but we kept going. This time i suggested a shortcut, taking the Simei Park Connector. But some confusion with XP ended us up taking the longer way, U turning, when we were thinking about the same route. So we cycled that few more metres. this time we took the route i take when i go to and fro to the chalet. past
my house
Ngee Ann Sec
Tampines JC
HDB estates
and rejoin the Tamp- Pasir Ris Park Connector
back to where we started. the bleddy bridge across the expressway and to pasir ris town park, past hai sing catholic and finally into Aloha Loyang. The peoplecame back safe, the bikes not really. Actually the bikes started out in bad conditions anyway, broken stand tied with a rafia string, a fake motor engine lol (sounds like), a screwed up small bike, gears that never seem to work high or low, and worst, energy applied that dont convert to the energy to move forward.
I m the luckiest of the lot with my own valiant bike, completely working gears, big nice and fully pumped wheels, nice smooth peddling, a velo gel comfortable seat. I escaped with only blisters on the palms.
Back to the chalet. 7 of us went for a dip in the pool at 5am plus. Brilliant. Warmth. Relaxing. Recovery training. Played a lil water polo. There was underwear in the pool. Some kids came as well. It was still dark though. Went back showered, played some guitar packed up and cycled with the rest plus antonio minus ying to Macs downtown east for breakfast. The sun rose, and i continued an extended cycle home. It was nice and slow though, because i was half dead.
Reached home, dad awake, cleared dirty stuff, and took a short nap. Shawn called, mum woke me up, and i m on another journey to CCAB for SOCCER. Played average. For about 3 hours and left for Coronation for lunch. Lemon chicken jia fan jia ji, 2 cups of ice milo and a few games of bridge before heading home home home. Just bathed and threw myself onto the bed. SLEPT from 5pm to 10pm.
FRIDAY
Facebooked till 5am and slept till 3pm. i woke up and thought i really died. My legs didnt felt like a part of me anymore, my arms were aching from the continous fanning of the charcoal and i was burning from the soccer. DID I DIE?
maybe i did.
Seriously. This week has been whacky.

Cage
Cage was pretty fun. Even though we got thrashed. Won only one match. I m consoled by the fact that i played fine. Touch was there, passing was there, dribbling was there, didnt lose the ball, defended what i could. Just about ready for a full blown match.
Had sakae dinner with PW + ape + waterlily. Food was good, didnt eat as much as normal. Probably just too tired. Ate and slept at the table, just like a pig. Was suppose to be Yuki yaki but the plant asked me to delay at the last minute. And so we missed the student rates time. Ah nvm anyway the plant was the main plant, i mean main man that day and dun forget the video.
The rest of the days was just slacking at home. Baked cookies yesterday but it wasnt much of a success. Met ying lun after a long time today to order BBQ stuff for track chalet on wed. Hope it ll turn out well.
Watch movies!

Insomnia
I m blogging at 4.42am. Because i cant sleep.
Lay there. Rolled around. It was some sort of reflection time. The week felt so... empty.
I m missing something, or someone. Maybe two.
I thought of the past year. How it started so brilliantly academically and socially. CJC transformed me into a mugger, or rather it was Edmund Chin from 1T26 that turned me into one. The 'smartest' student in the class, haha even the teachers reckoned.
SA common test was a failure. I was at the peak of my fitness. I ran like mad. I just rediscovered my love for running that initiated in primary school. I joined track and field after all the 'catching' during recess was not enough and rejoined it to play more 'catching'.
And there was all the lectures. The one PW lecture that changed my life. The other lectures that were so much more interesting than the lecture content. Then there was a set of numbers that aint significant anymore.
Promos came, coming. Studied in school. Many hours. Motivated to go to school not only for one reason.
Everything fitted nicely into one jigsaw puzzle, except, for that one final piece that would complete the mystery. That final piece was never fitted. I m positive it existed, but it changed its shape?
It s still burning, fluctuating. Sometimes red hot, sometimes smothering. Sometimes it s forgotten. But it wont die out so easily or quickly. I know.
ANYHOW
Track training on Mon, ran for 40 minutes (still sick) which was about 20 rounds i guess?
Tue, gym, wasnt as bad as last week but still tiring, had a good workout. Oh and i bought a new pair of boots. Under peer pressure from shawn yeo, i got a Nike Mecurial. It s STUNNING. a bit too much for me i thought. but oh well, i cant sell it back right. I thought adidas Predator was more suited for me, i prefer the design and POWER. my hp is screwed, so no pics. i better take one before it gets out of shape when i start ramming.
Wed, stayed at home and became a painter, did some household maintainance. Wasnt that easy. It was tedious, but reminded me of those days in SJI. Those afternoons and evenings in the Art room, with the radio blasting, sometimes the rain splashing and the thunder booming. It s so vivid.
I doubt i ll be able to sleep now. Cage later. I m so dead without sleep. i should watch Germany vs England, maybe it s fated. You dun always chance upon a match. tata.

Class chalet
Yes Lois, i'm too lazy to update.
MONDAY
I've gotta rant about this. Because it's not the first time.
TEMASEK POLY students bombarding bus number 8 every hour in the morning. And so i was stranded at the bus stop, missing bus after bus. They came, and they left. More importantly they came maybe 80 in a bus? and left 80 in the bus. with space at the rear. So, i had to improvise impromptu and took 59 which i wasnt sure where it'll go. I landed up at Toa Payoh, had to walk through the rain with some newspapers which obviously didnt hold for long and i was drenched. Was late but GPF done, PW DONE!
Left school for brunch BK. Toa Payoh Hub with the usual peeps. Yong pin bought Manager 09. Seems fun. Left for PS to get Ms Ye her farewell gift, a Build A Bear bear that makes Gabriel noises (monkey), wears a perverted surgeon suit and is called Meixiu Jr. How more screwed up can it get. All left 1 by 1. I went home to get my stuff, games, clothes and tried to install Manager but failed. Lois and Tim were at the chalet first wasting time, watching tv. Raced there on bike to catch the BBQ man. Had to collect the food. Nic came next. Booked pit. Nic tried to start the fire.
Slowly more came. But the fire wasnt good enough. It took long to get the food on the table. Anyway poor turn out, excess food. Smoked myself for 6 hours, sweaty 'satay man' quoted from ms ye. Bathed, cake, Wii to the wee hours and Game of Life till 6.
TUESDAY
China Xiao Ping gotta wake up. Slept till 10 plus, went out to eat. White sands, Food Junction. Gabs came. Went back. Zheng da came. Bowling. Ms ye came. hahaha my worst ever score for bowling. Seemed to lost the touch. Havent bowled for 2 years? I think more. Yea, 3 years. Rushed off for training. Record time of 15 minutes to reach home on bike. Grabbed stuff from home napped on bus. Late for Gym. 40kg on shoulders. ouch. 'Track dinner'. 1 slice of pizza, 1 piece of sushi, couple of cups of zeppel. Played touch 3 on 3. Went back chalet. Wii greeted me. Gobbled real dinner. Bath. Wii wii wii till sleeeeeeeeeeep.
WEDNESDAY
Next morn woke up, pack up check out. Survivors wei li, pin and lois. Macs breakfast. Carried home the big box of leftover food. Dropped food home. Movie the Coffin at TM with lois. North pole there. Food Junction (again). Went home. SLEEEEEEEEP.
That s chalet for you.
Anyway life's been boring. Missed training on Thurs. Coughing, sneezing, burning. Aftermath of chalet. So, entertained granny by playing Mahjong. Fri, went to Courts Tampines in search of a new washing machine and to Century Square to continue the search at Best. Today, guitar, piano, mahjong, live soccer. That s it.
THAT S IT! The boring account of my life. A job s coming, gotta study, more fun? You cant put everything into words. You must be there to experience it, the chalet was something new in a way. Despite some disappointments. I actually enjoyed bbqing, at least cassie was an efficient partner. I enjoyed the Wii, must thank ms ye for bringing. i enjoyed the cycling up and down, it was refreshing and exhilarating. i enjoyed the bowling, once in a LONG while. i enjoyed the walking around ehub, even though seeing some RJ people who were from 203. I enjoyed the company of the usual peeps.
you didnt have to read that wordy post. really. :)
