Seriously, i am surprised that i have not deleted this blog due to its inactivity... Lolz! Just dont have the urge to really update frequently nowadays... Been wanting to change the blogskin for a long time and i have still to get down to work on a new one... And the thing is, i haven't even install all the brush packs and fonts for photoshop after i changed my comp and installed CS3...
Alright, i swear to myself im going to get my photoshop up and running as it has been ages since i last did something in it...
Anyway, just for the record, i completed my first ever In-Camp Training as an NSmen a week back... Went back for a 2 weeks high key reservist... Call it lucky if you want... First one and it was a major one... 5 days outfield including the weekends... But it was alright i guess although it takes some getting used to since i have already been out of it for like 1 year plus! Overall, it was an ok experience... Although after looking at some of the people there, i was glad i ORDed early...
Went for Nike Human Race 2009 on Saturday... Good run and it sure was good training for Stand Chart... Finished the race in around 1hr 10 mins which was a good timing for me... The route for the run was pretty boring though and the clusterfuck we keep encountering was a irritating disruption to our momentum... So next up, its Standard Chartered 42km!!! Oh man, i seriously got to train for that if i really want to finish the race and get the finisher-tee...
Been really thinking hard for the past week about my life now and in the future... Been really bothered with several issues... I feel like sometimes my time has been taken for granted??? That other people time is more important than mine... Which has resulted in me missing out on several things??? Perhaps its time to speak up but i know my position... Well, maybe a change of scenery would be better??? Seriously, im weighing too many issues inside of me now with no outlet to express... Why cant life be simple...
And i just want to get out of the country even for a few days...

Completed one of my resolutions for this year when i completed 21km at last sunday's Singapore Bay Run/Army Half Marathon 2009... My watch read 2hr 59mins when i reached the end point and so minus the 10 mins or so we spend waiting to go to the toilet, i took around 2hr 49mins to finish the race... Not exactly a very good timing as i had hope to complete in less than 2hr 45 mins... Well, it was a good effort though seeing that its my first long distance race in a long long time... Have to continue training as i have signed up for Standard Chartered 42km at the end of the year... Seriously, im still wondering why the hell i signed up for it!!! But its something that i always want to do once in my life so yep, gonna train like hell for it(hopefully)...
Thank god i took yesterday and today off as im really feeling the effects of the run... Not so much in my legs though... There is the ache in my calf and hamstring but the more serious ache seems to be at my shoulder area and back... Definitely signs that my conditioning wasn't really ready for such a race which is why im feeling the after effects now... I wonder how my body will feel after 42km at the end of the year???
Its a very funny thing really... I signed up for all these marathons at the urging of my platoon mates from 160... And when i tell people that im running all these races, all of them will be like - "wa kao, in army always chao keng don't want to run. now ord liao go run marathon. wtf!" Quite true though... Haha... But its different really... In army, you will get sick and tired of running coz thats what you do most of the time and you cant really run at your own pace as well... Outside, you won't have someone bellowing at you to run faster and to keep up with those fast people... And best of all, you don't have to sing!!! God, i used to hate singing when running when i was in the army... Singing while marching is still ok... But running??? Im already out of breath and i still have to sing or im gonna hear cries of "knock it down" very soon... So you see, its different!!!
Im dreading going back to work tomorrow... My guess is that my mailbox is gonna be flooded with mail for rsvp for a project that im doing right now... I just hoped that intern did not screw up whatever i asked her to do...

ok, i admit i was lazy to update during the past 2 months!!! there was quite a lot of stuffs to update during that time but either i was too busy or when i was free, i was too lazy...
lets see, what have i been busy with for the past 2 months... oh yes, all the 21st birthday parties!!! there was shuping's, then followed by qiu's and then finally siyu's... which kinda reminds me, i have yet to get the photos from them... damn, seriously, what have i been doing for the past 2 months...
and then, there was my second trip to taiwan!!! this time round was with the rainbow gang... hmm, which time was better??? i would say the first time there though coz as compared to the first time, i was more used to the surrounding and there wasn't really much surprises this time round... but it was a good trip nonetheless with a group of great company... photos are all facebook so just pop by my profiles to see what i was doing in taiwan... that said, i would want to make a thrid trip there again though, but this time round to other parts of taiwan other then taipei!!!
then, liverpool came to town to play a friendly match with our singapore lions... why am i talking about this even though im not a liverpool fan??? well, i just want to add my two cents worth into all the debacle arosed from that match... lets start off with the national anthem debate... personally, i felt that it was very disrespectful of the organisers to play liverpool's anthem when the president of singapore, mr sr nathan was leaving the field after being introduced to all the players, whats with the nation's birthday coming up in less than 2 weeks time... but i wonder though, would the fans sing the majulah singapura as loud as they sang you will never walk alone??? and of course the announcement of "this is anfield"... whoever the emcee was(i heard was that bimbo jamie yeo), he/she has got to be kidding me... anfield is like a a few hundred thousands miles away in england... this is kallang for goodness sake!!! i wonder how the singapore team players felt when they heard that... as for the fans, well they paid to see liverpool play so i don't think we can blame them for not supporting the lions coz i will be supporting man utd too if they had played at the national stadium but surely they could more cheers for the lions??? it really goes to show how unpassionate about our own national team we are and that is something which i feel the sports council or the government should really address...
anyway, im feeling damn damn sianz now... supposed to be on off for both today and tomorrow after working throughout the weekends... but got to go back to office tomorrow for dunno what reason... zzz... and it sucks as well coz i had an appointment with friends lined up... well, wat to do... LLST... something tells me its really time to relook at things...
ok, thats all folks... i must really try to blog more especially when there is some special occasions as thats the main point of me keeping this blog, all the good and bad memories =)

a long weekend for me as i was on off on friday... a break that i was pretty much looking forward to after a pretty tiring weekend the week before... week before was GSSC or rather the great singapore shopping challenge where teams from singapore and overseas battle it out to see who got the most savings from the things that buy...well, the event was good from the outside... but from the inside... hmm...
in life, there are some words that are spoken which cant be taken back... and i always say this, some matters can be forgiven but they will never be forgotten... it doesn't matter how stress you are or how busy you are coz the only reason why people will communicate with you is coz they wan things done or coz we like to ask you things when you are busy... no matter what, the level or tone that was spoken was definitely not right... anyway, a week has past since the event and everything is sort of back to normal i guess... but like i said, some things will never be forgotten...
my long weekend was spent fruitfully i would say... met up with ferg on friday to have lunch at sp!!! its been a long time since i last went back school to eat... i really do miss some of the food in foodcourt 6... the malay food, chicken rice, seafood soup with prawn noodle soup, yong tau foo etc... after lunch, went down to club to see what has become of the place which i used to call my second home... well, quite a lot have changed since then and i shan't comment much... just wanted to have a look at the place and relived some of the great memories there...
saturday... met up with ferg, shawn, gavin, kim and bin!!! omg... its been ages since i last saw bin... and a big congrats to him for finally overcoming OCS and getting commission next week!!! he still hasn't change much though... still the ever cranky and muscular bin that we know... btw, his arm muscles is like the size of my calf!!! anyway, dinner was steamboat at bugis... sort of a farewell to another 2 of my juniors in ferg and gavin as they prepare to enlist and protect the nation... hearty gathering that was full of laughter and craps...
then today met up with the gang of chewling, michelle, yg, dom and joe... had lunch at kim gary at tampines one... been long time since i last saw them as well... caught up with one another and also talked about our taiwan trip which is happening in 4 weeks time!!! cant wait to get of singapore...
next 2 weeks gonna be packed again with birthdays celebration to attend... which is why i requested to skip one of the event on saturday... sometimes, one really needs a break!!!
