The Morning Thoughts

It's good to reach office early in the morning when there are no one around. Not that I want to reach office that early, it's because I want to avoid that money sucking erp gantry that stands between my office and my house. $4 at prime time. Not that it's a lot of money, but summing up for the whole month, it's still quite substantial.

Now that I have a dog at home, I no longer need to depend on an alarm clock. My dog is that smart till the extent that once he hear my alarm sounding off and I am still not up, he will just bark, bark and bark till I wake up. Once I am up, I have to perform the 5 min "play with him" ritual. Perhaps that's the main reason why he is waiting for the alarm to sound off. The alert that I am ready to play with him again. He is very popular among the kids too. And it's very obvious that he loves to play with kids. Whenever there are kids around, you can see that desire in him that he wants to go out and play with them. Even my cousin Mei mei is his best friend now. And fuji is also her best friend. My cousin's request for the reward for doing well in her exam: Anything that has dogs' pictures on it. Sweet.

Work is getting mundane as well. Forever fighting the battle that take very long to win or even impossible to win because people constantly avoid doing their work; End result: You do it for them. I guess this is the distinct culture in gov.sg. Meritocracy is grey and promotion prospect depends on your time spent here even though you suck at your work. Sometimes, life is just so disgusting seeing incompetent people trying their means to get promoted to a competent position; even when everyone can see what's up their sleeves. The thought of mismanaged by someone whom you feel you are 100times smarter than just ain't good. I am never going to get my career aspiration dampened by these people. Waiting for my confirmation and once Jan is here, and there I will go. private.sg.

QOTD: "We are what we believe we are." And I believe I can achieve more.

The long hiatus

The long hiatus...

Busy with school, life, work... and the constant worry of getting fat..

The true meaning of life. the question that will always bug me..

we will get there... sooner or later..

Quote of the day

" When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up."

A firm believer of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

Whenever I say this, i always recall the gruelling tekaning session during NS. That was really the darkest period of my life. The tot of leaving behind my loved ones, stuck in a camp with the supposedly crazy commandos trainers and not forgetting the fair and chubby us fresh from the college.

I swear they really whacked the shit out of me. 80kg at enlistment to 65kg 2 months later. A trainer who was always running behind us shouting ,"Don't let me catch you.. if i catch you, you will be dead. I will make sure you get confined." Needless to say, I was sure they gave us some slack. How was it possible for a commando trainer who could run less than 9mins for 2.4km not to be able to catch up with a slighly overweight trainee who was wearing his No.4 uniform loaded with his SBO filled up with 8 sand cans? I am sure anyone would be able to catch up with me.

Anyway, it didn't kill me.... it make me stronger... literally... and physically.

As usual, pictures tell a thousand words.. And I have a lot of pictures (not sure whether there are a thousand pictures.. thanks to snapshot friendly audrey lee)

Just chose 10 out of the thousands...

The resolution

The resolution... the summer break resolution.

As what I always did during my uni days, the vacations were always my "train-to-be-very-fit-period-so-that-i-have-buffer-during-semester" training regime.

Finally, the semester has come to an end, though I only took 2 modules this sem. But to juggle between work and sch is not easy. Nowadays, work always take a higher priority over sch, unlike in the uni days. I am so glad that there is no 1st class masters etc. Just a B grade would suffice. I hope i get that though, considering the futile effort throughout the whole semester.

TRAIN TRAIN TrAIN. SWIM, RUN AND GYM! I need to get back my 6 packs! Go away i-ta-li.
