Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there're footprints on the Moon

Well that was the 09 competition. Edwin got third apparently. I was there that day watching him flex his stuff. Got pretty much influeneced by him so when registration for 2010's comp opens, i shall enroll. Very new to this kinda thing so come what may, i just wanna do it for fun. Support is greatly appreciated. Negative comments, needless to say, are not very welcomed but if you really think i'm an idiot, feel free to tell me.

I think i've grown pretty well since i came back from the states. Strength has returned and increased as well. Looking better than before i would say. But still, there's lots of room for improvement. With that in mind, i hope there would be increased motivation to hit the gym lol. Cause im currently not very motivated. Only going once a week that's about it. Ohwell, im going to shrink in the army anyways, so might as well seize the chance now.

Today's a pretty much gloomy day but even so, we need to laugh. Not because laughter's the best medicine, but serves as a good abs exercise. \m/

was watching some video off facebook talking about the stupid things in Singapore and one of the lines said - If you're not the best then you're one of the rest. Which i find its particularly true in the local society, which i feel deludes people. Especially parents. They want their kids to be the best. Best at what? It's always the superficial things like academics, sports, piano class, and things like that. Why so typical? Why cant you ask your kids to be good at something else like say training animals or acting or singing. Yes no doubt its the path less taken but sometimes the path less taken is the path that leads you to success isnt it. Doesn mean your kid fails the academic system means he fails in life. You shouldn't condemn your kid just because he's academically stupid. I think parents nowadays are delusional. They think by sending their kids to a variety of classes would give them enough exposure but i think its still not enough. Eventually every one parent would want their kids to excel in school.

Well when i grow up and be a parent myself, i think grades would be one of the least concerns. In fact, if i had the time, i would prefer to home tutor my kid myself. School teaches you a hundred and one things and you dont even need to use 99 of them in life. Its all about the soft skills man. Tell me which school teaches you soft skills. Even SJI over the years has succumbed to the race to be the top school. So much so that i think lesser emphasis has been placed on the character development. Ohwell. Hope once they reach the top they would return to their good ol ways.

Anyway, some updates over the past week. Lets see. There're so many things i dont even recall. Monday and Wed had training as usual. Dong came on tues. Thursday was jamming. Friday went back to church for another round of jamming. Went to gym yesterday as well. First week of school was hectic i would say. Lots of activities going on, meet new people, lots of events lining up, trying to catch up with my exercises, my guitar routine, and also to squeeze out time for girlfriend who's ever so patient. Appreciate it. Assignments have started already so it looks like a super busy term. Anyway a couple of people got me offended while saying things like why i dont have time for this and that, why i cant go here and there. I just reply them that they're not in my shoes so they wouldnt know. And most of them still don't understand and i totally cant be bothered anyhow. The way i see it, we got only one life. As for afterlife, i don't really dig it at the moment so i'm concentrating on my current life. I want it to be exciting. I dont wanna regret when i'm 30 with a family and a kid. So i'm gonna enjoy my youth, all that energy, time, friends etc. Heaven can wait.

Regatta

Tada! LSCT came in third! Kudos to the CBE people, biotech people and the GLs. Thanks a bunch for helping out. Well we came in 1st in heats but apparently everyone kinda felt tired after that so we came in 3rd eventually. AND ICT CHEATED! Ok i think they did. Well everyone felt they did. They were already moving forward before the horn went off. They didnt hold their boat. Not fair man. Aiya anyways, its just a race. There goes our delicious dinner though =/

Baby was super nice to come down and watch us race today <33. Helped us take photo, keep us company etc. Always good to have you around. She was ever so patient in waiting for us to pack and stuff. Appreciate the patience babe.

Dinner was at this chinese place at cathay. i dont even remember the name of that restaurant. Aiya nvm. Baby had thai dory fish and fried rice and i had some crappy prawn fried rice. T.T But it was still good anyhows. Half way through i told fanny i was falling asleep. LOL. Damn tired la. yesterday run 10k today paddle paddle. Then sunday is salomon x trail. Then tmr got sonication to do. Arghhh. Super tired! so i shall pack up and hit the pillows. mmmmmmh

AH GOD DAMN.

Well today was a super screwed up day. Well morning bit was fine. Gel results came as a surprise to dex and i. Quite delighted with it, gotta see what DK says. No DK isnt drift king but Dr Koh my boss. Anyway things became screwed after 12pm. First thing was that sk came late for lunch. Not 20 mins but 2 hours T.T so lunch came at around 2. Luckily for me, baby kept hello panda biscuits in my bag so i wasn't starved to that so she's a freagging caring genius. Then after lunch sk and i went for a short work out at the gym. Well we initially didnt want to run due to the rainy weather but eventually the clouds cleared and out popped the sun. I didn't wanna ditch shiwei again so we left for macritchie at 4 and reached at 4.30. Well shiwei was late so we were watching the SJI boys canoe canoe canoe. Look super young. and noob. But that's cos they're young.

So shi wei finally came and we took the 9km shit trail. Why is it a shit trail? Well because when you run on that stupid dirt/rock/mud/upslope/downslope/ trail, running 2km would make you feel as though you ran 5km. Well for me that is. Which i can't entirely be faulted as i have yet to recover from the torn thigh muscles from all that jumping @ napfa the other day. Well its good to have 2 wonderful friends to run with you cos they push you like anything. yeah i mean physically push. Sk and shiwei were pushing me to run more more more even though i swear my legs were gonna give way. Thanks dudes. Appreciate your patience and your determination. I have yet to reach your kind of fitness level but soon i will. Anyway i didnt get motivated until i got a message from my mom saying Dong was at my house and i was like ZOMGWTF. YAH! at that point i was still running 7km can. Screwed up. So i picked up the pace and ran back to the starting.

Then shiwei met his girlfriend who had been waiting for him for quite a long time. Aw so sweet. Sorry man for making ur squeeze wait. Sk was awesome enough to buy me a drink and i scooted back home in a cab. Well i felt really bad for making Dong wait for nothing. The last time i did that to my piano teacher, she bailed on me. Sour puss. -.- Anyway, that's not gonna happen again cos good guitar teachers are hard to find. Not gonna let this one go away. Sorry dong. Really wanted to see your les paul =/

And thus i conclude that today is a bitter day cos i tested the patience of a few people, made people wait, threw a temper blah blah this that. Well its not like i want to. Shit happens.

Fanny likes pictures. She says blogs without pictures are super boring so tada!

Well that's Monti trying to do yoga. LOL. Poor boy was kinda itchy the other day so i was scratching him. Bet he liked it.

Anyways, the long awaited weekends were not as awesome as i thought they would be. Somehow i still feel so tired even when i sleep till 10am. Not a good sign. Maybe that's why i fall sick so often. Friday evening was spent stonning at home. Ate cup noodles for supper and felt so guilty after that. Saturday was spent stonning in the morning then had lunch at home then went to the linden us university fair to meet sk. See la stupid kimchi, if only you went there earlier, then i could have told my mom its freaggin lame so i could save the trip there. hahaha. Yeah well i was hoping Maryland U would be there but apparently the universities on display were those kinda -.- universities. Not interested and neither am i gonna let them steal my parents money.

So it's sunday tomorrow. Got church and after that i'm going to hit the gym with ethan like finally. So long never gym with him already. I think i should chase alumni to gimme my new card -.- Its already 2 weeks overdue.

Pfffffffffffffffft. Here's to the upcoming week! Hope it will be a good one(:
