Friday, February 27, 2009- Holiday just started! (Yesterday actually...)
Being me (a person who has a schedule), I have lotsa stuffs to do for this holiday. I will be going back to YTSS, go to KL for a short holiday at uncle's house, maybe staying over to ubin for 3 days to help out for HRC, MMA, a few classes and of course, studying a subject or two which I will be learning for the next semester. And guess what? I am officially a year 2 student starting from April 20th. Awesome-O.
Today, I will be going to HTA for NPAP training. I have been getting neck strains lately and yeah, getting headaches from it. Hope that I will still be feeling okay. And guess what? Its been a long time since I went to the gym have been around a week? Better start again. Oh yea, at least I have been exercising at home. (:
Well, I gotta go now. Afraid I could be late for prayers later and gotta prepare all stuffs for NPAP training later. See ya around.

Sunday, February 22, 2009- Okay, cool. Basic Microbiology is uber nice. Thank God I studied, and revised of course..
Had NPAP on Friday. And yep, I kinda disappointed myself. Just don't feel like talking about it.
But I'm telling myself that I will recover from each fall only to be a better person. Yeah, I should remain that way, and I was glad I told myself this on time.
Okay, Friday aside, I'm having HPI exam tomorrow. Its gonna be quite a long ride tomorrow and afterwards, I'll be left with only 2 papers. Great man.
I think I should'nt talk so much here. I have much to share next time, come by soon again.
*Knowing my limits; and what I can do.*

Thursday, February 19, 2009- Okay, today is awesome. I've finally got the mood to study again. One more round of revision, it is all over, I'm moving on to another subject.
Started my day going to Northpoint by bicycle. Accompanied Ihsan to buy his mass gainers. Lol, rich guy! After that, I went to revise outside Long John Silver alone. Just revised for half an hour and went home, because I don't feel warmed up enough for revision. Well, so, I went to the gym with Aaron just now. After an hour, we saw Mr Emmanuel Teo in the gym. Haha, he doesn't seem to be in a big time mood to exercise. Well, my wishes to you Mr Teo, hopefully you will get back your form, and get oogled by girls, just like 2 years ago. Lol. Mr Teo, Aaron and I talked a lot of nonsense in the gym. But its cool about the fact that he managed to do a 20 - 20 kg bench press after a long time not doing it. Hah, so yeah, just did a bit of exercise for 2 - 2 and a half hour and went home.
And here I am right now, gonna continue studying again. I'm gonna go to Pulau Ubin on Saturday again. Yep, to campsite, as HRC trainer. Hah, and I think that I'm gonna bring my notes and stationery along and revise for all I care during my breaks.
Hmm, and of coruse, tomorrow will be a long day. Exam, followed by NPAP training at Home Team Academy. I'm awesome, I know. heee
Well, its time that I study again now. I'll blog as soon as I can.
*Just as life seemed almost meaningless, there comes.....*

Wednesday, February 18, 2009- Okay, hello again. Friday's my Basic Microbiology exam. Wooo, and I'm left with one more topic, which I just have to revise thoroughly. I think I will be able to do that by tomorrow noon. Things are going well so far, I hope it will carry on smoothly.
By the way, I didn't go to gym since Sunday, have been going twice a week instead of three times a week. The reason why is that I've been cycling, studying, NPCC-ing, researching, cardio exercising and MMA-ing a lot of times lately.
Btw, speaking of cycling, I went cycling on Sunday. I intended to cycle around the circumference of Yishun. Did almost that. But, one time, I was going to a path, thinking that it is the longest way to get around Yishun. But hell no, its even worse. I find myself to be near the sea, where there's constructions going on, and there are foreign construction workers around. I cycled even more, and ended up at West Camp. I cycled even even more, and guess what? I found myself at Jalan Kayu bus stop!! lol. Not to mention that the sun was scorching hot and I did not bring any supplies of water. Let me tell you this, there is not a single damn shop down there, and I my throat was very dry. Had a feeling I might turn dehydrated. Luckily, I adapted myself to such situation before, I put myself to be half alert and in a very rest mode and let my instincts bring me back to Yishun. So, overall, I cycled from Yishun to Jalan Kayu, and back to Yishun. That's like cycling the whole of TPE, not to forget the fact that I cycled almost around the whole of Yishun. Thats the longest distance I've ever cycled in less than 3 hours!
So yeah, I went for MMA yesterday and it was pretty fun. Improved on my kicks. heheee.
Enjoyed post training. Had short submission matches. Lost one, and won one. Somehow, I'm improving bit by bit. Thank God, but hopefully, I will be able to improve giant steps by giant steps.
Today, erm. yeah, just went to school for one 1-hour lecture and thats it for the day. That was plainly lame. Reached home at 2pm. Yes, 2 pm! Did small sets of leg exercises, but heh, my abs hurt! And its all thanks to yesterday's exercises. Hopefully, by next month or two, I will be able to open an affordable abs program to earn a little bit of money and to shed off people's belly! And yes, it works, coz my abs look so awesome, it can buy the world. LOL. jkjk. ( As you can see, theres no blue text! Loyal readers will know what I mean, hehehe. Okay fine, blue text means its fake, but no blue text means... lmao, Im shamless).
Well, I'm gonna go to the library tomorrow to study, meet Aaron for an hour or two's session of gym, and study again! Friday shall be war. So, I'll see yer around. Bye.

Saturday, February 14, 2009- My ankle is almost okay. I hope that by Tuesday, it will be okay again.
I missed running around. Haha, damn!
Firstly, I hope that I will be able to cycle long distance tomorrow morning before meeting up with Aaron for gym. Then, I will go to the library to study. Hopefully, I will be able to finish revising Human Physiology and Immunology as well as Cell Biology. Damn I really wana do well for my subjects. Hopefully, I will be able to attain a GPA of at least 3.9 or 3.8 this semester.
By the way, these are roughly the scores I've got for Communication Skills for Applied Science:
1)Impromptu Speech - 49.5/60
2)Research presentation:
a) Formal Speech: 47.5/60
b) Questions and Answer Session:14.5/20
c) Powerpoint slides: 11.5/20
3)Powerpoint written test: 47/60
2)Research presentation:
a) Formal Speech: 47.5/60
b) Questions and Answer Session:14.5/20
c) Powerpoint slides: 11.5/20
3)Powerpoint written test: 47/60
Well overall, I did not do as well as I should. So it is time I motivate myself again and tell myself again that it is time to prove worth.
Its time, off to study now. Bye.
*I live for a purpose*

Tuesday, February 10, 2009- Hmm hey, its midnight right now. Well, sort of..
My ankle is still injured right now. Thats the first information.
And, I discovered something about myself. I somehow discovered why sometimes, I felt disgusted when I look at a bunch of friends being so nice to each other. One short reason why is that, I somehow feel that it will only be temporary, and quite a number of people these days aren't so kind after all. I find that behind a character of a person, there lies another one who is there to talk bad about you. Happened to me at the past and it happened a lot of times.
The second reason why is probably a longer one. I have to admit that sometimes I feel happy for these people, I get jealous of them. Hah, like seriously. Because, I remember that when I was much younger, back in the past, my good friends tend to throw their tantrums at me for no reason, pretend to be good friends but used me and a lot more. How can it be fair for me not to see the others and wish I am at their place too? It is seriously a good time to know once in a while where people take your words seriously, and when they finally listen to your thoughts. Still, there are people who claimed that they do, but they do not. You need
to have a sense of belonging somewhere, and sometimes, I do have, sometimes I don't.
And yes, there are people who claimed that they do understand, but they don't. My suggestion is that these people shouldn't bug me around. It just gets worse. Its like, making it worse for me. Much worse.
And a something that I really hate a lot is being ignored. Yes, ignored. I know, people get sick of my voice. People get sick at the sight of me. But hey, I want to put in my effort to make your day. I have questions to ask sometimes. I have thinks to say. I need people to at least listen so that I do not feel like a socially depressed moron. But thanks, shit happens and people just make this shit. Thanks. If I am simply ignored, then it would be better if I talk to the wall. At least talking to the wall does not give me false hope that an ear or two will finally listen to me. And yes, I have lived my life being a loner before and I am not afraid to be one. So don't think that I am not used being a one-man team, because I grow up learning how to survive on my own. But looking at other people, they really enjoy having this sense of belonging. Perhaps its not my loss, but I might not have the rights or privilege to experience this nearly every day of my life. That is really how I feel, and why I think I am jealous. It might sound sad, but this is how I am..
Hah, but feelings aside, I seriously need sleep. Good bye readers.
*You look so sad, you look blue. I can slap your face hard enough to turn it red.*

Saturday, February 7, 2009- Well hey, here I am again, and guess what? I think that I have to be out of action from MMA until the end of this month. The reason why is that my sprained ankle is still... erm.. sprained. But still, I will practice myself on getting better grapplings and strikes, and come back better than ever once I'm in an all-time great condition.
I shall talk about Thursday:
I had Communication Skills for Applied Science 2 (CSAS 2) Research Presentation. I think that I did quite okay for it, except for the fact that I keep doubting myself about the points that I should say. Lol.
But still, I have to thank Solana and Nushrah for answering to my question (although they are pretty.. erm.. rite...), Chu Xuan and Yaseen for asking me good questions, De Hong for finally listening! LOL and of course all my caregroup - mates for attentively listening. For that, Thanks!
Guess what? I find another strength that I have. I really am resourceful, and of course, I can really improve much more on being resourceful. For example, before CSAS2 presentation, I used a teddy bear which was given to me by my caregroup -mates after my operation as an example for my speech. But still, I really can improve myself..
After school, I went to the Indian Hawker Center Amjad, Syairazi, Lutfi, Fariza, Candy, Clement, Yolanda, Dineesha and my teddy bear. LOL. Syai was seriously very excited about my teddy bear, coz it can record voices and talk. Yeah, so, there was one time when I was waiting for the bus alone.. and I was feeling lonely. Haha. So, I just took a picture of the teddy bear in black and white:
Isn't it cute? Haha. Its totally priceless.Friday:
I went to HTA. My ankle still hurts, and we still had to march around. Being a CI, I do not like to show a sign of giving up either. So, there was one time, I had to halt when marching. Okay fine, a lot of time, and when we do it, we have to stomp or "bang" with our right leg. And yes, my right ankle hurts. Well, I am taking good care of my ankle now, as always (except for doing drills). Sorry ankle. But seriously, I really want to impress everyone around me and show how great a person can be if he believes he can and if he works as hard as he can, even beyond his limits. Simply everyone - the kids, the teachers, the other CIs, the FIs, the Officers. Paul, Zaki and Jun Hong Sirs are doing what they can and I really want to perform to make everyone proud, including them.
Hmm, I can bet ya that all the CIs, along with me and other officers were very busy. Very very busy. There was once where I have to command like, around 65 cadets in a contingent.
That explains it. Had debrief and stuffs, and we went for dinner at the shopping centre next to Chua Chu Kang MRT at 9.30 pm. And guess what? You Rui, Michelle and I got very random. There was once when You Rui and Michelle helped to buy 10 bubble-tea-cups of drinks for the rest. And we actually wanted to arrange the cups for everyone. So, we arranged the cups in this manner:
Falling in position with the In-charge infront! haha. "BUT DO YOU THINK THAT 9 PEOPLE CAN FORM A SQUAD?!?!! Haha. And of course, Michelle, the other Rahimi and I took a picture of them since it looks so damn lame but cute.Oh yeah, so I went home with my ankle hurt. And had a well deserved sleep, I guess...
Today:
Went back to Temasek Polytechnic for testS. Yes TEST"S". Had two tests just now. Introduction to Psychology and Introduction to Sociology.
Seriously, I was panicking ( a little) early in the morning, but the tests were easier than expected. The Qhairil, Amjad, Luqman and I were feeling high after the test. We even felt high before we perform our prayers. LOL.
So, I went to Tampines Mall for a small lunch with Amjad. Met up with Fariza, coz she wanted to buy a present for her friend. Seemed like she had a hard time finding it, but I suppose she would have found the right one by now..
Parted ways with the both of them at 3.50pm
Set off for gym beside Yishun Stadium. Went with Ihsan.
My shoulder hurts, a little. Thats cool man, I'm a growing boy! haha.
That should be all today, and yesterday, and the day before.
'Til next time everyone, I shall blog as much as possible. Bye.
*All odds against me.. again*

Tuesday, February 3, 2009- Firstly, I would like to express my appreciation to A8G2 and of course, my parents for buying a total of 2 cakes for me. And of course, cakes are for eating.
My ankle is almost okay. I went to the gym yesterday. Of course, I did not train my leg. I am not that crazy okay? Oh ya, there was once when Amjad called me when I was in the middle of doing my abdominal exercises. And.. I think that I sounded like I was constipating when I was talking to him. Omg.
Heh, sorry, I am pretty much rushing right now. I gotta go.
