nothing's ever gonna go right for me huh? first was my eyes then my overseas studies then now this, nothing's ever gonna go right. why cant you just drop me something?

2009-04-25T22:32:00.001+08:00

dear god

i think its very unkind of you to lift me up so high and throw me back down again. tell me this isnt what is happening and everything will be ok?

2009-04-24T00:24:00.002+08:00

it was a day out with sh and i enjoyed every single second of it! :) the endless talks and just being able to hang out with her is something i wouldnt trade anything for. im really happy now :)

2009-04-18T01:14:00.002+08:00

my life has been doing fine lately. was down with flu and bad cough last week but feeling really much better this week. yup and TAC has really been stretched thin the past few weeks with lots of presentations and projects. luckily everyone really helped each other and the process has been really enjoyable :D thanks guys i really like the feeling where everyone helps each other.

there are times where we will feel down and the conversations we have with each other really spurs me on. im so thankful to have met every single one of you in TAC. As much as i want to go on course with you guys, there is a part of me that wants to start studying first. Really, i do not know where this road is going to lead me to but i just wanna say its been a joy knowing you guys and whether i make it or not we will still be friends and colleagues forever alright guys? :)

so ive been thinking really hard about what i want in life and we are all waiting for that special someone/something to come knocking on our door. how do we actually get people to notice we have a door to knock on? i hope i can do something to make it happen, i just need a smile back from you

2009-04-07T11:24:00.003+08:00

ok things are looking really fine now. ive applied for a scholarship and things are looking really good. i really hope i get it, from what i gathered from the interviewer and desmond things are looking really great. :) one thing though, im really sorry glamis, i really didnt want to take your slot im really sorry :/

2009-03-19T19:53:00.002+08:00

so many things have happened and i myself cant keep up much less understand them. i really guess looking at the things where it is going now it really makes me feel very down. though i already see it youre moving on yet i still hope that there could still be us :/ i secretly hope that you would turn around one day...

sometimes i wish i can save you
and there's so many things i want you to know
i wont give up till its over
if it takes you forever, i want you to know

that if you fall, stumble down
ill pick you up off the ground
if u lose faith in you, ill give u strength to pull through
tell me you wont give up
cos ill be waiting if u fall, you know
ill be there for you

2009-03-12T02:02:00.003+08:00

i guess its time to update my life. Been a month since i had my eye surgery and now my eyesight is better than ever, its 6/5 and 6/6 now. Well, not the best they have treated cos my friends some had 6/4 6/3 and even 6/2 vision but i cant complain.

The past 2months was really a blast. Things has been moving by so fast that I was caught in the moment. I met this really nice girl and spent almost every available hour with one another. Great memories were made however, things did not turn out what i hope it would've. right now im just trying to get over it and move on. as much as i want to, moving on is easier said than done, the hweelings are definitely stil there and i dont believe it can go away that easily. then again ive to try, its the only way to make myself feel better :) thanks ZHENGYI for listening to me advicing me haha cya at work later

2009-02-05T21:44:00.002+08:00

so its been 2 days since i had my first eye op done. well i must say i was nervous when i was lying under the laser machine. Will it be painful, will the laser anyhow sear my eye all that. Fortunately, everything was over within 5minutes. Right now my vision is blurry and hazy coupled with the fact i cant use my glasses i get frustrated easily. all that is left is my 2nd eye op and a speedy recovery and hopefully 6/6 vision again, without glasses :)

2009-01-12T22:45:00.002+08:00

ok man after 1month plus of preparation, i finally submitted my ucas application to my desired and dream uni. i know its a long shot but i hope it would be a shot right to the target. LSE has been my dream and still is, being able to study there would be a dream come true for me, experiencing life out of singapore would also be a great experience for me. I really do hope that i do get back good response and offers that i had applied for. I really do....

2008-12-31T18:22:00.002+08:00

2008 is ending! haha well i cant say that it has been an eventful year, but it surely has its ups and down. At the start of the year, i started training really really hard for triathlon and and ive been reaping the benefits now. Training wise, has been good, no injuries(YES LA!) and i hope it STAYS THAT WAY. Made quite some friends with triathlon dudes. Those days where we curse and swear about the swim sets that we had to do HAHAHA sibei xiong ar! This year is also the year that i enlisted into army and honestly, i really hate it to the core. I am so grateful that its all over. 2008 is also the year which i signed my life away to air force, i will always remember that eventful date 18/8, dotted line i signed on. I really did not think about the gravity of my decision as I was very bent on...nvm cant say here haha. msd msd HAHAHA.

However, the year can never end without regrets, im sure everyone will have their regrets. One of them would have to be me not being able to go into air force after bmt due to the slow app process. wasted 3 months like this, now going for prk also another 3 months wasted. I also did not perform well enough for my training and races, shall make 2009 a better year for me, might as well make use of this lobo period to go back into form ey? haha. lastly, its definitely -, i thought ive done enough to show how i feel but apparently its not enough. tried and try as i may, - it did not turn out to be, unless - is still waiting for something else. hmm. hope 2009 would be a more eventful year, by looking at it now, i think it would with ground school and bwc and all.

well, 2008 wasnt a wasted year, but it did have some wasted months, and definitely has things to look back with a smile =). Maybe 2009 have more in store for me, hopefully =)

Brunei

I would love to say i enjoyed brunei but sad to say i dreaded it the moment i started started survival phase.

I did not really mentally prepare myself for how the survival phase would be, since its just a one off thing, just wanted to get it over and done with. At first i thought i was going to enjoy it but the jungle owned me. I was lost at first because i could not find a site for myself. Even so, we had to find vines or rattan tree to tie up the logs. Cutting rattans into smaller more bendable pieces is a chore. Lucky for me, I had a great buddy in my group. We helped each other build the required stuffs, in fact, he helped me more than I did. If not for him, i think i would not have passed.

Every night, all 4 of us would gather together into uncle Toh "house" and basically spend our time cooking and talking about food,cravings,and everything under the sun and the moon. I guess the most memorable and miserable would have to be the second night when it rained 3 times. Luckily, we had build a roof but still there were leaks and squeezing 4 pple into the "house" doesnt make it better. That was one of the longest night, i was shivering and biting my teeth, praying and hoping for the sun's warmth the next morning.

Finally, survival phase ended, the familiar sound of extrication, boats and buses, we are back to civilisation. Suddenly, everything appeared heavenly, just the sight of real buildings brightened up everyone. Im so glad its over.

2008-12-07T10:44:00.002+08:00

bad race bad race! guess it must be all the lack of trainings and i think i started out too fast :( right now i just wanna plant myself into a chair and watch the world go round. I'll be the prince and you'll be the princess..

2008-11-30T20:55:00.003+08:00

so much has happened over the past week, tons of slacking and wasting of time. I got to start doing something which would be beneficial to me in future. I registered for SAT again on the 24th Jan, this time round I am going to mug for it. My goal would be at least 2100. No more slacking, tons of regrets flowing in my blood, not even god could set me free. Also decided to apply to UK this yr, just to try my luck. LSE LSE LSE!!! 1 more week to race day! =)

2008-11-23T21:08:00.002+08:00

AFS tomorrow! anxious and anticipated, unwilling yet excited. really really mixed emotions. then again its what i have to go through no matter what. so i either suffer through it or enjoy the ride! 2 WEEKS LEFT 2 WEEKS i really want to do well, i dont want to stand at the finish line regretting what i could've done more. although 2 weeks is not much, it should suffice for another PB i hope. are we just friends?

2008-11-21T21:41:00.003+08:00

AFST over. jungle in brunei awaits me sigh. just hope that the weather there would be good and not rain everyday. after brunei, BYEBYE OUTFIELD! anyways had social night ytd, it was a good closure for afst, signify the start of a new chapter.

an evening to remember

2008-11-16T18:47:00.002+08:00

wah 7 weeks passed by in a flash. the TOUGH times and STREINOUS moments that we endured through, im sure we all are proud to have 3 stripes on our shoulders. yeah right! oh man this week is parade rehearsals over and over again, i wonder what wsm would do to us AHHHHH!!! Something to look forward to, this thursday! =)

2008-11-09T19:39:00.001+08:00

wow 2 more weeks and im done. fast! all the high key events are over except for exam 2 and 12km route march this week. after that it will be smooth sailing for the rest of the 2 weeks before i prepare for brunei. really looking forward to next week! =)

2008-10-26T09:12:00.000+08:00

i hate myself for being so weak gave up today never felt like this for a long time already i hate it

2008-10-25T21:21:00.000+08:00

woohoo! elite time trial tomorrow. my first time i hope i can do well. really pls i do

2008-10-19T12:37:00.002+08:00

BEEP! goes the horn, runners underway. Amongst them was someone who wasnt that fast, neither was he that slow. The pain hasnt kicked in yet and everyone was charging up strong through the trail. It was long and fast, and the running groups began to thin. It was for about another 3km before we hit the tarmac again. It was now a long straight portion down all the way, demoralising i must say, with no end to the road in sight, only the backs of the few who were ahead. The mind started to wonder, the strength started to weaken, thoughts of giving up were flashing past his mind yet he pushed on, kept telling himself the reason which he loves running so much and that is to win. That thought and the many people that he didnt want to disappoint pushed him through the agonizing part of the run. Next came the beach, it was comfortable, much much easier than the trail part. Soon, its back onto the tarmac and a straight road back to the finish line. Tried as hard as he may, he just couldnt catch the few in front of him, he was just too weak. Eventually, he gathered up his last burst of energy and gave it his all and managed a humbly 15th overall!

2008-10-18T22:40:00.002+08:00

2 weeks of AFST passed in a flash. its quite fun as a whole. the only thing i dislike was the way certain things were carried out and stairs climbing, really a chore. other than that, afst is basically heaven! and its RACEDAY tmr!! omg all the best!!

2008-10-12T08:02:00.002+08:00

air wing isnt that bad after all. its really the slackest place out of all the wings in ocs. However, the days inside are still passing really slow, luckily, its anything but unbearable. 1 week down, 6 more to go before brunei! omgomgomgomg

2008-10-05T15:04:00.003+08:00

been 7 weeks since i started this semi-civilian life of mine. Tomorrow would be the day i return back to army. Even though its only going to be a short stint of 7 weeks, the feeling of marching around, getting rushed around is definitely not welcoming. Suddenly, i just feel so lonely...

2008-09-29T16:37:00.001+08:00

wtf man. just plucked my wisdom tooth out. damn pain. lucky it was only 1 tooth, i almost wanted to kill myself when the doctor was plucking it out.

2008-09-27T23:17:00.002+08:00

sian man. good life is ending soon. the civilian life I have is going to change for good. shit man damn sian, i need a break before i return back to army life all over again. DAMN!!!!

2008-09-21T00:19:00.002+08:00

today had my first aeros and my first flight in a year. The feeling is as exhilarating as my first sortie. The feeling of being up in the air again is reminiscent, good enough to rekindle the reason why I wanna be a pilot. Basically, the flight didnt really start off on a good note. Halfway through the flight my handphone fell out of my pocket and I had to unstrap and reach behind to pick it up if not we couldnt do our aeros. As if that wasnt bad enough, while i was reaching backwards to grab my phone, i accidentally tore my instructor headset jacks and made me panic awhile. I could almost feel the frustration flowing out of him, but he was a nice guy and didnt say much.

We then proceeded to do aeros. He showed me a loop first and asked me to remember how the nost of the aircraft move across the sky and next ask me to perform it. My first try wasnt good but it got better at the 2nd. Subsequently, we did Cuban eight (my favourite) , horizontal S, aileron roll and 4point roll. generally it was fun.

2008-09-14T22:03:00.002+08:00

in a flash,i have spent 4 weeks relaxing and basically doing nothing. And im left with 3 weeks more before i return back to army days. Oh man, every good thing has an end and i know everything is going to be alright after i get used to the same old army routine once again. i really hope this is the right path ive chosen, 10 years indeed is very long.

2008-08-31T23:18:00.001+08:00

haha did a really really good race. Manage to run my targeted timing, though on the slower side, but still I did achieve my target. Now all i have to do is maintain it and make the timing even better. Yeah im feeling really good right now. ranked 49th!

2008-08-25T19:58:00.002+08:00

been a week since i left army and i must say im enjoying every single bit of the current lifestyle i have. Basically, i get to go home everyday, report for work at 8-8:30 and knock off at 530. I have 1 hour breakfast, 1 hour lunch and tea break if i choose to have. What more can i ask for, plus i have no official duties. Driving test in 2 more weeks, i really really want to pass and flying license expiry this friday. Guess license is history.

2008-08-16T22:39:00.002+08:00

got out of army. into air wing. somehow when i finally got what i wanted i dont really feel that happy at all. Its always the case that the grass is always greener on the other side and when u finally get over there, u realise it isnt as green as thought. guess there is no turning back now, air force will be my new home and fighter jets will be my toy. 10 years of my life i will sign away, hopefully its all going to be worth it. i will definitely miss the days of chiong-suaing and of course, doing SOC.

2008-08-04T12:30:00.000+08:00

haha i love attend Cs. fucked up in a few more hours i will be back in the shithole. ahhhhh fuck it

2008-08-04T09:02:00.002+08:00

its been a while and i am on week 7 already. In a flash, my course is ending. Now all that is left is clearing SOC , IPPT and 28km route march and my pulling out to air force. I really really hope I can be pulled out in time before bslc ends if not it would really be gg. really really please let me out of army in time...

2008-07-16T11:13:00.002+08:00

haha booked out during field camp. what a great relief from the shithole that army creates in most army guys. nevertheless i will be going back in a few hours time with a guard duty later at night. fuck it man i got the guard duty because some guy nv pass message properly. guess i cant really blame him because not everyone can be that reliable, capable and trustworthy. On a lighter note, doing guard duty in outfield can be quite enjoyable with great company, enjoying the stars and cool breeze, just relaxing under the sky and taking a breather while we ponder on the next days activities. But seriously, screw this army, just another 4 weeks more and im in airforce. screw this shit really.

4 weeks may seem long but the passing minute, especially when we are under the hot sun, wearing our lbv and carrying our rifle, with miserable sergeants breathing down our necks every minute can be quite draining. I guess the only consolation is that there is an end for me in army before i move on to somewhere less fucked up. Oh man booking back in soon, back to the shithole again....cant wait for the weekends to be here. ciao

2008-07-13T20:14:00.002+08:00

haha 3 weeks have passed. left 5 weeks more and this week is field camp week. its gonna be hell for me at least. well, at least its a friday bookout from now on. and woohoo i cleared my airforce stuff already now all thats left is my lasik eye screening to see whether i am eligible for lasik for fighter pilot. WHEE!!! ABOVE ALL!!! NO MORE ARMY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2008-06-29T18:17:00.001+08:00

take it day by day, week by week and soon it will be over.

2008-06-27T23:56:00.002+08:00

its day 5 of sispec. i booked out ytd night for my interview this morning and it was quite a refreshing session because i met up with my best friend i made in bmt and most importantly we both cleared it with ease. we caught up with each other like we havent seen each other in years. now that i have to complete bslc first before i can crossover, i shall and must take it in new light and try my best to enjoy it if not life is really going to be miserable. i really cant wait for buddy to book out and have the time of our life again....the block leave days were AWESOME! how i wish we could live in those days forever

really i didnt know i could make such a great friend, simply too awesome!!

2008-06-22T21:14:00.002+08:00

i didnt expect to have made such great friends during bmt, but i did. in fact i feel that i cant live without them. haha. 8 weeks of fun awaits me....hahahaha

2008-06-21T17:08:00.002+08:00

omg sian man. i already had a bad feeling during posting day and quite sadly, i got posted to sispec. to be honest, i expected better, especially when all my friends went to ocs. right now the feeling surely isnt good, ive still yet to accept the reality thats being pushed on me right now. On the contrary, at least there is still a way around this. As i embark on an 8week journey, i hope for it to be yet another memorable experience for me and HOPEFULLY get accepted into peeelot. cant wait cant wait...

2008-06-16T17:41:00.002+08:00

so it has been 5 days and i dont feel rejuvenated enough. maybe i need a holiday, out of this place, out of the shit hole that army has created.

good were the days like yesterday. i need to find myself again. i wonder where i was, who was i and what was i. everytime i sleep i would try to find myself and i would tell myself that i would be back. sadly its tough to be me

2008-06-15T13:20:00.002+08:00

BMT has ended. no more ever need to go back to tekong for now. bmt experience surely was fun yet gruesome. thinking back, it feels it was too short yet in the moment, time passes oh so slowly. for now its all about rest and relax and most importantly recharge for the more disgusting and tough training

2008-05-24T23:37:00.002+08:00

bmt is coming to an end. its been tough yet sweet the past 7 weeks. now all that i have left are sit test, 16kmroute march and 24km route march and i can kiss tekong goodbye. My biggest challenges would be the route marches. I hope i would be able to survive them. Now all i want is to be able to finish bmt asap and get through all the shit and hopefully get out of army.

2008-04-10T23:40:00.000+08:00

going into army tomorrow. shit man i feel abit scared

2008-03-09T17:24:00.002+08:00

i could not say that i did very well, but the results were decent. coming from where ive came from, which is deep down the death pit, i must say it was an improvement of leaps and bounds, greater than words could describe. only those who knew me truly understood how hard and tough and disciplined i was during the exam period. although i must say i was a little bit disappointed with my chem results, nonetheless it was a great effort on my part. Great thanks to all the teachers, also to my close few friends, i will never forget how u guys helped me at my weakest and vulnerable moment. Now i just hope that i could get into the university of my choice, it seems like a far-fetched dream but who knows...=)

2008-03-07T11:33:00.000+08:00

taking results later, all the best kent. wish me luck

2008-03-04T21:47:00.002+08:00

i felt and saw improvement in my swim today. i must keep this up. the pull with the right technique makes a lot of difference. i am very happy with myself. also results are out on friday, please let me have decent results, i really gave it my all during the exam period.

2008-02-24T16:37:00.000+08:00

alot of people like to talk shit talk big. fuck them

2008-02-17T10:59:00.002+08:00

im loving sundays now. able to train with them bright and early and be back home by 11 feels damn good. all in all it was great training with them

2008-02-15T12:14:00.002+08:00

training has been good lately, although swim training really kills me ten times over at least. my upper body is aching everywhere which kind of feels good, it makes me happy. its time to train really hard now

2008-02-05T21:55:00.000+08:00

600m warmup
8x25m sprints
400m kickboard
1200m pull buoy
1000m pull buoy
100m cool down

not bad but i was really struggling with the kickboard. the others were like relaxed while doing it while i cant propel at all. damn shag during that time. but good training overall.

2008-02-01T23:21:00.000+08:00

i felt weak in running now. that what not training for a few months has turned me into. I feel like i was back at square one again. The feeling of past glory does make me feel heartached. everyone else was so good la. zzz

50mins of running T.T

2008-01-30T09:56:00.000+08:00

had a new coach to my training Mr Guo Wei Dong Jiao Lian. I think the training I had was by far the hardest I have ever done so far.

warm-up
5x100
45mins of non-stop any stroke swim
4x25

Ok it doesnt really seem tough by those guys there do 50-55 secs per 100m while i do 1:00-1:10. thats like damn slow but its alright, im slowing easing into it. no worries

if only i had joined him earlier things would have been better, but its ok, i shall make good use of the training i have with him.

2008-01-28T22:29:00.001+08:00

swim training just now was just ... I have nothing to say

4laps warm-up
4x100 pull-buoy
2x50 kicking
3x200
4x100
2laps cool down

1.8km total

i gave up during the 3x200 and 4x100 pull buoy. just couldnt swim well enough. i am so damn sad with myself

2008-01-28T15:37:00.000+08:00

back from korea. rested and all geared up for the trainings ahead. too lazy to post the pictures now

2008-01-20T19:39:00.000+08:00

This week has been eventful with 2 long and 1 short swim sesh 2 bike sesh 1 run sesh and 1 strength training sesh. really really good. now my muscles are all aching from hand to legs but its all for the good of getting better. ok got to go see ya

2008-01-18T17:10:00.000+08:00

training is good for the past few days. did 2 swim seshs and 2 bike seshs. all felt really good. signed up for nus bi as well, i hope everything will turn out fine. Anyway, holidaying soon, i cant wait man. SKIING!!

2008-01-06T11:47:00.000+08:00

2007 came and went by in a flash. It is by far the most interesting year for me, one which I had so much fun and pain. I accomplished many things small and big and ultimately the A levels. I was definitely struggling with my school work and in the last 2 months before A levels I really did work hard, every single day. Now that its over, im really relieved.

At the start of 2007, I was very unfortunate to have sustained a stress fracture and that had put me out of the first major race of 2007, national cross country. I was very sad. The only major race I had was national track and field 2007. It was a good race, I felt good, I know I did my best. Hopefully this year I would be able to achieve better, I should be focusing on triathlons now, more stuff to do,more tiring, more fun.

Also, 2007 was a memorable year for me as I learnt alot in SYFC. It has definitely placed the foundations for a flying career for me. Whether to join airforce or not has been a question which I cannot answer. Well, I will see how it goes, hoepfully, before I go into army in April.

2008 would be a better year for me, stay free without injuries most importantly, train to the best of my ability, decide where I want to go. Thank you 2007, its been a long year and the times I had will not be forgotten.

2007-12-29T08:05:00.000+08:00

WHAT AN UNLUCKY DAY. MY TYRE PUNCTURED AGAIN ALONG MANDAI KNN! AND MY COM IS DOWN.

I cant wait to go on a holiday, i really hope the trip materialise. It would be wonderful.

2007-12-21T21:47:00.000+08:00

did a 36:59 omg what a shitty timing but at least i qualified. OMGOMG SHITTY TIMING

2007-12-21T16:00:00.001+08:00

swim trial later. all the best to me i hope i am not last amongst the group. I just want to qualify and so then i can start training properly. ALL THE WAY KENT!!!

whoa back from australia next day run standchart is GG. Pearce trip was good, it really opened up my eyes to what air force trainees life was. The hardship, the pain the grueling scoldings from instructors are all part and parcel of a trainees life. Nonetheless, i felt really grateful that I was able to go on this trip, especially on the joyride on s211. It will be discontinued dec 2008 and that means if i join airforce, i will be flying the pc21.

We spent the first day in pearce air base, got our bunks, went to the squadron to mingle with the trainees. It was pure talk cock sessions. The second day we reported in flight suits to attend the ops brief given by a trainee. It has more information than what i learnt in YFC. Of course, the airforce trains people to become professional pilots to defend the skies for Singapore, a certain high level standard is expected from all pilots. Everything was an eye-opener. From the place to where the trainees stayed, to what they ate, to where they fly, to how they prepare for flights, to where they stay were all seen by all of us, definitely left an impression in all of us. In the evening we attended EODD(End of Day Debrief) where all the students and instructors gather to sum up what happen through the course of the day. Students share the mistakes they made and instructors bring up the mistakes which they feel should be highlighted.

Third day, we reported earlier at 7am for the 1st Ops brief for the day. It was the full brief, unlike the 8am, where the weather was briefed by a weather man and everything were in higher detail. This day was the day where 2 out of the 6 had joyrides. They told us their experience and the other 4 of us couldnt wait for ours. In the evening was RnR and we went go-karting. It was nothing like I have ever seen. The kart could go up to 75kmh and all 10 of us raced grand prix style. Although i clocked the fastest time in the first heat out of 2 and the second fastest time in the second heat, I commited fouls which granted me overall placing 3rd, a tie with the instructor that brought us there. It was just pure fun. That night we went to the Indian Ocean bar at Joondalup where we had their beer and basically talk cock with the gang.

Fourth day was joyride for all of us and honestly, the g-suit , helmet and mask were very cool to me, it seduced me into wanting to become a fighter pilot. The joyride was something that I was looking forward to and it was the first time I flew to > 6000ft and we did aerobatic maneuvres at 12000ft. It was marvelous. The trip back was bumpy and started to make me feel queasy. Overall, I enjoyed the flight, being able to fly in s211 for the first and the last time definitely left an etched in me.Normally in Australia, shops closes at 5pm but thursday is the designated day for Australians to do night shopping where shops close at a record breaking of 9pm!! We went to a megashopping centre in Joondalup but there were nothing to see/buy, I sat down and had dinner and tea for the whole time.

Fifth day was RnR day where we went to Perth City. For all these road trips, I had the opportunity to sit at the front seat of the van and was able to help navigate our way there, somewhat similar to what I experienced in USA, it was exciting and I love road trips. In the morning, we went to Margaret River Chocolate Factory and Fremantle where basically its a town near the sea with small shops. In the afternoon and the later part of the night, we went to Perth City. In the late afternoon, we spent our day in Perth City at Hay St. walking up and down. At night, we went to a bar to have dinner and drinks called The Shed. Cool Place, cool atmosphere, most importantly, NICE GIRLS HAHA!! I also drank tequila for the first time, and it was nice. Afterwhich, we travelled back to base.

Sixth day was the last day and we spent the morning sleeping in and catching up on all the early morning and late nights that we have spent during the trip. We were in the airport at 1130 and our flight was at 430.

This trip has definitely opened my eyes and allowed to gain an insight of the life in the airforce and has definitely helped chart my next step. I love this trip, its was PURE FUN!

At least, 6 days of pure fun, exhilaration and also, 10000feet above ground at more than 200knots of joyride. Cant wait. Also, go-karting, shopping, eating, partying, slacking, TRAINING!!. Yeah. Hopefully when im back i would have found back my training momentum. WOOHOO!! CYA

2007-11-07T17:16:00.000+08:00

during exam period, i crave for good food. And ive been eating like 5 meals a day, not been exercising at all for the past 2 months of intensive studying camp i imaginatively made up, and yet i dont put on some mass on my arms or legs. Shit man something is wrong. 4 months of solid training, really cant wait. Eat sleep shit train eztv repeat. CANT WAIT

2007-11-06T18:50:00.000+08:00

whoa Math was good. I am feeling really good about this right now. being the bottom 8 of the school now able to feel good for exams, hahaha damn happy man. Just a little bit more left. Hang on!

2007-10-31T22:01:00.000+08:00

Physics Paper 3 and GP paper over. Thankfully, physics was ok, i was quite happy with myself. Gp was ok just that i dunno what im writing. hahaha

2007-10-29T10:11:00.000+08:00

yeah man. 3 a day has proven to be useful. I should use them for all my future goals. A levels start tomorrow with the much dreaded physics paper 3 first. After which, its hopefully smooth sailing. With the effort I put in this time, I hope I can do well. LSE LSE LSE LSE LSE LSE LSE LSE, after exams, I have 4 months of solid training to look forward to. cant wait.

2007-10-22T22:15:00.000+08:00

1 MORE WEEK TO PHYSICS!!! and GP!!! I hope there is enough time for me to get a decent grade la. not so looking forward to end of exams because I still have lots to study. Its really time for me to rise above myself against all history and achieve something which people think as impossible, for me at least.

its all about how much you want it, how much u are willing to give for it.

2007-10-19T23:01:00.000+08:00

gonna serve the country on 11th april 2008.

right now study study study. i will rise above myself and prove me right.

2007-10-13T23:01:00.002+08:00

I am gonna miss the times we spent together, truly a memory etched deep in my heart. If I were to relive a part of my life, it would be with you guys. Thanks for all the fun we had together, I am sad to part with all of you. lets remember each other.

2007-09-25T19:31:00.000+08:00

2007-09-19T21:54:00.000+08:00

I really really hope I did well for econs. I really really hope that person is me.
I really really hope I can pass my math at least. Lastly, manage a sub-pass for chem.

I really really want to make this right.

2007-09-12T20:10:00.000+08:00

been studying everyday lately, I really am starting to feel the brain drain. And i also cant help but feel that just because my grades so sucky that everyone are looking down on me. ARGH!!

2007-09-09T19:04:00.001+08:00

my sec 1 math teacher always told the class "if you dont have brains, you must have muscles, at least next time can be bouncer"

what if i dont have both? HELPPP!!!!

2007-09-05T22:42:00.000+08:00

Half of the holidays has passed and i think it has passed too quickly. There happened to be so many things that i have not studied yet but these holidays have been centered around econs and math. I really hope i do well in both of this subs as i really put in alot of effort. rest of the subjects = GG

2007-08-31T22:33:00.000+08:00

Welldone 1st Junior cat

woke up bright and early at 5:30am today. luckily everything was packed properly yesterday night and there was no rush in the morning. ate a pa zhang and tea and off i went for trifam sprint tri race. I hopped onto a taxi and reached there at 7:20am. met up with barry and gave me a few tips for transitions. I got ready and off we go at 8am. Swim was ok although i started way back and there were too many slow swimmers in front, underestimated myself =). held on tightly to the first pack but later dropped to the chase pack. swim to run transition was ok, although abit messy, i need to brush up the run jump bike transition technique.

Bike leg was not very good but i felt ok. everyone were like damn bloody fast i saw my speedo and it was 32.4 and im pedalling at quite a intense rate, many passed my on the bike leg, especially on the way back, the lead i had from the swim were all gone. =( bike transition to run was not bad for a first timer, unstraped my shoe and pedalled on my shoe. reach the line and hopped off, run with bike to transition area rack up, and shoes on were done in less than 10 seconds.

Run leg was what i was waiting for. At first, the leg muscles felt tight and hard after the bike so i decided to go slow at first, there were also muscle cramping spells and i was fearing, hence decided to go even slower. After about 800m, the legs got looser and i decided to pick up the pace, slowly i took down all those that over took me on the bike leg, mostly the guys who overtook me on the way back. saw barry walking, chit chat awhile then i went off. Passed many people and finally 5k was done and all over. =))

prizes were CERVELO BOTTLE , tbb racing hat and $50 passi:one: voucher. =)))))

2007-07-06T23:25:00.000+08:00

training makes me very very tired.
all i want to do is sleep forever.

2007-07-02T21:50:00.000+08:00

been a fruitful weekend. How i wish i could spend every weekend like this.

Friday early morning nice and easy 40km ride after that a GH sortie. In the afternoon run training but rained so never train much after that went for my first swim technique lesson with Ng CT.

Saturday early morning ride with Ng CT went well except i knocked into someone bike before turning into LH after the ride. had minor cuts but bike was ok. After which the afternoon was spend buying bike stuff with Ng CT driving me around. Thanks alot. =)

Sunday was a slack day. Felt tired and lethargic the whole day.

Today morning was run training. 3x1km 3:15 3:21 3:26 all were good timings. Afterwhich, heading to harbourfront met up with Ng CT who then taught me some skills
in open sea swimming. Did a close to 1500m relax swim with me swimming zig zagly due to my not being able to swim straight HAHA. Had a easy 5km run after that, basically chatted all the way about running techniques all that, was great company.

HEHE How i wish i could spend all weekends like this.

Due to my impulse nature, i got persuaded by peer pressure to go out and cycle.I must say i was very reluctant at first but finally succumb to his holy persuasion. So i met him at longhouse and began. He was insanely hasted, as fast as a night stalker at night. cycled my ass off to maintain close to him then later i met my first hill, mt faber. tough it was but the downhill was heavenly. next he brought me to kent ridge, i fell vadly there and decided to head home. the ride home was fueled by shear mental determination and determination only. break away at farrer road to head home, i stopped at longhouse for teh ping before reaching home. wouldnt have fell without luke but wouldnt have gain abit of experience without him either. thanks alot.im only glad im back home safely. in a state of euphoria.
