Just got back from training... Busy busy busy~! Was out celebrating Christmas on the eve... but just step out of bus 2 mins nia the clock hit 12 le. Hai... Missed by a lil. Walked by the Esplanade for a while, talked/chit chat (more like me doing the talking... ) then headed off home at 4+.

Slept the day off cuz it was raining and I'm still having that darn dry cough... Irritating like hell... rain rain... Heaviest rainfall since dunno when... Sigh

Went for dinner @ Marina Sq, then headed off to play mahjong. Now my level is up by a few levels (hears the drum beat from BattleField 2 in my mind... Haha). Slept 1 hr then went for breakfast... Maybe I'm still not a morning person... Not used to talking or interacting in the morning... Hmmm... Whatever lah...

Only thing I don't understand is...

WHAT THE F IS GOING ON! WASSUP WITH EVERYONE?!

Today ah... NP IVP Camp starting loh... In my opinion, the plan is a bit messy... No head no tail... But hey, learn from the mistakes lah! & I trust everyone knows their business well! =) Basically rested for the day... Met her for lunch, then proceeded to teach her pattern down her home. Haha if you are reading this, you are really doing so well! =) Just need to practise more & be more confident. & Hope you really treasure your present! It's just part 1 nia. Haha. Take care of it as if I'm lending my feet & arms to ya!

Went for the wedding dinner. Great dinner, not so great guests. I'm referring to the rowdy bunch who drank & cleared 1 bottle of Chivas Regal. Damn if my wedding guests turns out like this man...

Mandate 1: At my wedding, no alcohol allowed. Reason is simple. I CAN'T DRINK. (I can hold my liquor but hey... my body doesn't allow it to happen k) Just try sneaking that black label or XO in... Just try!

Ok... finally free to write all I want now... Just came back from Yunping & Qing Cheng's wedding dinner @ Orchard Parade Hotel. Quite a wedding with cartoon theme feel it it! Haha wish you guys Zao Shen Gui Zi!

Ok it's like 4 days since I've came back from NTU's IVP Camp. Made quite a lot of new friends & re-affirmed the friendships of some old ones. Learnt quite a lot as well. Now I understand why they can do so well @ IVP every year.

Basically I missed the entire first day! Due to work loh... what to do... Reached at night to find them dining and chatted with them... Can't rem much abt the "first day" though... Oh oh, got the pattern session by Audrey. Haha everyone like so dead cannot stretch anymore... Haha! Crapped with them before going to sleep...

Next day, a visit to the West Coast Park! Did a round of the park (ok... small small one nia...) then proceeded for warmups, simple kicks and something I've not done in a long time... Rubberband training! Whoosh... damn xiong... damn knee hurting like mad after it... Then it showered for a while, so we just crashed at Macdonalds. Split up to different shelter areas to do more kicks & share with them some thoughts on doing kicks & sparring. Rehearsed for the skit as well... Back to the school it was more training & stuff. Different stations different kicks & stuff. Some sparring with Ashlyn ended up getting more & more bruises. But hey... no pain no gain! The skits were like so irritatingly hilarious lah! Haha!

Final day! Soo Yee took training in the morning after a meal of 2 hotdog & buns & tea... (Damn full...) Kicked here & there, with Celestine slamming my face and making my teeth bleed... Damn... gotta find a way to evade those slamming kicks... After which they revealed the proceedings for afternoon's events: Simulated IVP Sparring Competition~! Yay~ Ok ended up being referee for a lot of matches but I needed the revision... So it's ok. Coached a few others too, namely William (You are doing fine!), Marissa (another terror soon to be unleashed... ), and some others. Though some people felt they didnt spar well, I would say this again: Try harder then! It's ok! I mean everyone IS tired after 4 days of camping mah... So don't be so harsh on yourself!

Xiao Qi ended up not coming (my scheduled opponents... Thanks ah Edmund... Grrr....) then Guo Xiang ended up facing me with Kelvin as my coach. Again one of the best fights I've ever done! Haha... Think I found the confidence to train again. Lost the round 5 - 3 (I was told they never seen me fight like that before... Haha Thanks! Also some points were nt recorded. It's ok lah)

All in all it was a good camp, with much learnt & I also shared with them some of my thoughts on TKD as well. Good job guys!

And screw what I think. I guess it doesn't matter how I feel about someone, the result is just the same anyway. So yup. Call me despondant, depressed, disillusioned or desperate. It doesn't matter to me anymore. I'll just face everything with a straight face & a laugh.

May those who are sick get well faster.

yOU aRE iN mY wORLD @ 11:25 PM

I just realised I cannot talk to anyone else anymore. I got a scolding just for trying to wish Cuiling happy early birthday. & I wasn't even trying to tell her it's ok to be 22. Nvm that crap. Since I can't talk normally to anyone anymore, I'll just be like that. =) Saves me a lot of energy. I'll just stay in my detached world. Yada Yada Yada

Bless this world full of people who think they are so great & better. I'm just down on my luck at the moment. Don't come yapping at my feet when I'm standing tall and firm (sooner than you think). I don't find myself that great yet.

yOU aRE iN mY wORLD @ 11:15 PM

Well... I've still not recovered from what seems to be a very serious bout of flu... Sigh. Body is so weak now I only felt like sleeping for the whole day. Even attending the last P.R show at IMM yesterday took so much out of me. Couldn't sleep after that, and went online to chat with Hime.

Today... same ol same ol... Tired like hell.. packed room for a while before napping again. Recieved a call from Nokia that my N70 is back. Thanks guys for the fast work. Appreciate it a lot. Went to watch some guys (2 adults & 2 kids) play Sangokushi Taisen. Wow. The kids are great! Went home after less than 2 hours out... Tired like hell...

I've been thinking hard about what happened recently... I think if I told mei about all these she would have scolded me... Why be so itchy mouth and ask her again? Hmm... I think I'm really confused as to who I really have feelings for le. But now, I guess it is pretty clear to me. & I guess I have a lot to do. But not in that dept anymore. I have to work hard to get myself another job. Yeah... maybe that will set my life back to where it should be. I felt really ashamed for constantly letting people worry about me or even listening to my grouses. I hope this idiotic trait of mine will be gone come 2007. Same goes for my dreams & wishes. I feel that I have that power to get what I want & I'll try my best to get it.

As for now... I guess I'll start minding my own business! Ignorance is bliss after all.

Okie... Really wheezing/feverish-ing (haha scuse me) slightly as I went around my usual business... Packed my room a lil in the morning, then off to Tiong Bahru for fishball noodles (how they felt in my mouth! Mmmm...), then onto sch for few hours of BF2. Ok... today the teamwork between 3 of us quite good... So scores were quite high. Then onto Vivocity to meet Angie, Sebas, Kahwei, Jocelyn, Beesiang, Qingming, Xinyan, Weijuan, Simon, Jason, Jingkai. Went for Asian Kitchen (again finally the avocado snow!) then onto Open Season! Funny lah in general. But usual anime flick lasting 1hr 30++++ mins? The bunnies and the procupine are quite cute. Haha! Must find some pics of them. Haha.

Mostly worried abt over-eating (yeah dun treat me le. I can't eat so much food like a normal guy)... & my stupid handphone didn't make things better also... Sigh. Ah! Plus that stupid slight fever & cough... Persistently bothering me...

Gladwin's going to go into army tomorrow... Sigh another soul being collected. He just doesn't want to show that he is tensed. But he is. I hope he does well inside. & I hope no stupid stunts or tricks from him... Haha If you are reading this, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF MAN. HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!

Janet's b'day actually today! Haha not yesterday. So... HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN! Next up, CHUA WAI SEE!

Bad... really bad... I'm slightly wheezing and coughing more now... Sigh... 25 yrs 1 day old le...

Maybe that shooting star really is an omen...

Got stopped by a lady on the way to Swensens yesterday. Didn't know who she was. She just stopped me cuz I was walking too fast in between throngs of people. I hate getting caught in between chatting people while walking... Anyway, the lady just asked "Why you walk so fast? Where you heading too? Are you busy?"... Thing is... I DO NOT KNOW HER. She doesn't look like a surveyor (plenty of them yesterday... just leave me alone man...), but I didn't know what she wanted. The rest were equally dumbfounded. She acted like she had known me for ages... Quite weird...

More on Swensens: I had curry chicken baked rice. Not too bad, though today's one is more hotter than usual. The rest mostly had baked rice too. We had Earthquake later too. With me eating the flavour of the month: chewinggum something. Tastes weird... Hmm. My present from them is that treat and some chocolates. Maybe I will bring to class on Friday since I can't and won't take chocolates anymore. Gotta start taking care of myself le.

Been thinking the whole day about myself. Am I trying too hard? Am I just pretending to be happy everyday? And not just deciding "I don't want to think so much anymore"? Though I say that, my mind sometimes still goes into hyperdrive, thinking of all sorts of possible scenarios... Am I really faking that happiness? I have no idea. I just have no idea.

I felt that I shouldn't have to go through this. Why is it that some other people are quite successful until to the extent you see them change girlfriends like clothing? Not that I'm advocating it's good. But what is it they have, possess that I don't? I just really wonder. Sigh... I am really sick and tired of people saying the same things to me... Really... Noone sees the other side of me. Nvm... I feel so tired...

Btw, Happy Birthday Janet & James (& whomever is also celebrating today, sorry I can't really remember your days...)! I've never expected Janet to be 1 day younger than me! Haha. Janet is the lady whom is in-charge of the Power Rangers performance.

yOU aRE iN mY wORLD @ 5:35 PM

Oh boy... I'm sick once again... Cough + Stuffy nose = Trouble... Sigh... I'm getting sick more and more often...

& I didn't realise I saved a previous post as a draft. Must have been too tired choreographing the Power Rangers show. Crappy show to me... Too little time for them to practice & to come up with a proper storyline... Anyway...

Did nothing much yesterday. Went Holland V Sushi Tei for lunch with aunt (her treat) and went to repair my tkd shoes. 15bucks just to re-stick the soles together. Damn ex... Went Kino to get Mitch Albom's For One More Day. Still reading it though. Nice book. Went home to rest a while before going NTU for training. Damn tired. Managed to run 2 rounds only (a feat considering I never did much training for so long...) Then went to Swensens for a while cuz Skye, Huining, Mari-hime and the rest wanted to do a simple celebration for me. Thanks ah! Then Jing Onn picked me n Qi Hui up to Tian Tian SteamBoat for more food. Sigh... How am I gonna slim down!
I picked up the courage to ask what had actually happened. & now I have my answer (one of my birthday wishes actually: to know). Can't be helped I guess. I'm just that boring a guy. Maybe my friend is right. That I'm better a husband than a boyfriend. I guess I'll just stop then. Sick & tired of such things repeating itself le.

I think it's good to have a template of what your partner should do, behave & stuff... But for me, I guess I'm flexible. I think I roughly know that no 2 persons are alike, so each has different personality. I just see that difference as a means to accomodate that person & learn how I can work with that person to create our future. But anyway...

Every man has a right to his opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts - Bernard Baruch

I just find that this quote is quite meaningful. And I've thought of a highly-challenging present for X'mas. I want a Kamen Rider themed blogskin. Yup. And only specific KR blogskins allowed. Haha

yOU aRE iN mY wORLD @ 1:20 AM

I officially want to complain to Nokia le... 2 visits to the Care Centre didn't solve my screen problem... Wat's wrong with it!? Sigh... It blanked out on me for more than 17 times today... -_- And the person who served me still dared to say that I damaged the phone because I changed the cover... To that sir: Nokia phone covers, with the exception of N91, can be interchanged... Argh... Know your product before you talk.

Too bad today never see "THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL MAN"... Haha He is just an uncle who goes "patrolling" around JEC for fries n stuff. Basically fastfood leftovers. So when there's a tray of fries, he will swoop into the restaurant and grab n put inside his plastic bag before resuming his patrol. He will survey what you eat. Why TWMPM? Cuz my logic: if you are brave to do that in public, then you can do anything. Haha

Went Orchard. Damn rained... Haha Never see Steven Lim around. If not I would have asked him to trim nosehair. Went for haircut also. Xiaoqing was on leave so I popped by Ben's place instead for haircut. Haha damn short now.

Damn sian. Dunno what to get for BS. Dunno what I want for X'mas... Maybe a new phone? Haha

To everyone: The world is made up of many different types of people... & not all think like me. Yup. I find this note very important. Very important. Many instances have contributed to this absurdly simple way of thinking. Some funny, some sad, some infuriating...

Been working as a fight choreographer. Nifty name eh. I'm not kidding. I'm working with Gladwin to come up with fight sequences for Power Rangers SPD. POWER RANGERS. I feel like I'm Zordon now... Now I can proudly write "Fight Choreographer" in my resume, adding to the ever growing list of weird jobs/"talents" I've done/have so far. Nice job, just need to coach, but the hardest thing is designing the fights so the talents can follow and do. Gladwin finally understands one thing: They can't do what we can! So yep, thats the toughest part.

My legs (basically every part) are aching like mad. Wow... wonder why... I've gone thru hell training almost everyday... But then... only the 2nd day (I started on Tuesday...) and I've got problems kicking properly to show them. But fun!

Moving on... club is so messy now. Haiz. Everything boils down to few things... most importantly... EGO & PRIDE... Hey pride is one of the sins okay... Get it out of your heads. It's simple. Ego & pride won't get you anywhere nearer to your dreams. Some things are really small matter compared to the long run... I just wish that the club will be better soon... Even I'm losing interest in Taekwondo if this keeps up...

For the first time since I joined NP so many yrs ago... IT FLOODED... Good lord... Reports say the water depth at the Atrium was at least 5 cm in depth... Wow. Guys pls reconsider and ask where all the money you folks have been paying for goes to... NP flooded... seriously it will become the big story...

And I just lost my beloved 661 knee/shin guards... Sigh Bloody suay lah... Whomever took it: PLS RETURN. YOU CANT PLAY FLOORBALL WITH IT.

P.S I'm guessing who took it... Please let it return. Your dear kindness is much appreciated
