walk-to-hands!! ; Wednesday, September 30, 2009 00:36
i think i can join the wwe. i don't know how many times i got kicked and elbowed and had bodies flying towards me today. but i won't die yet. so it's okayy. most important is that you all have learnt something.
THANKS TO FAEZAH AND BRYAN FOR MY FIRST SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT ON WALK-TO-HANDS TODAY! shall gym more so i can do it without support.
blazers camp is coming. yay! be prepared to die. (:

inspired and motivated ; Tuesday, September 29, 2009 00:00
thanks to candy&weihoe, superman&michelle and zhiliang for coming down and spectate for training today. thanks for the valuable advice too!
for some apparent reason, training was more fun today. three words to describe them. inspirational, motivational and fun.
we saw superman and zhiliang cupie khairul and natasha respectively.
anyway, blazers camp on thursday. i'm mentally prepared for a physical training camp!
hopefully my shoulder and wrists recover SOON.

apparently i met kelvin kong at yck stadium today and ran 2.4km with him. for the first time, i knew my timing. 12:03 minutes. i think it's OKAYY, though i'm aiming for 10!
i feel like locking my laptop in my drawer and throwing away the key because i spend more time staring at the screen than talking to my family members when it's the weekend and they're all at home.
training tomorrow. like, finally. i feel tempted to gym again tomorrow because i'll have to go out earlier and thus, i don't need to stare at the screen.
+++
; 11:48
why am i spending all my time at home facing my laptop?
i should just lock myself in the gym 10 hours a day.
+++
gymnast ; Friday, September 25, 2009 18:24
i thought hard and long and decided not to go for gymnast session today.
i went to the gym before but gym is not an excuse. if you ask me, i'd tell you that my shoulder hurts and that i've to massively rub counterpain so i can go for thursday's training and gym this afternoon. no other reason.
and actually, i wanted to go. even when i told everyone i wasn't going outside the coffee bean just now, i wanted to go.
anyway, i'm at home now. thought of going to meet them for dinner after gymnast but i doubt anyone would call me. and my phone battery is going flat soon. 16% left.
okayy. round 5 of counterpain.

passion beats talent ; 00:09
MY PERSONAL OPINION on a thrash-out session is to give someone a chance to take advantage and launch a personal attack on someone else.
and after today's near-2hour session, i decided to start a topic on another of superman's quotes.
passion beats talent.
to start off with, i don't see anyone having the passion.
some people are talented. they excel in certain aspects that others spend much more time learning. however, that does not give you a reason to be overly proud of it.
if someone has the passion for the sport, that person is willing to put in more effort and train harder.
if someone is talented, that person would think that i already can do this, thus that person would spend lesser time training.
cheerleading is a growing industry. you have to keep improving. if you remain stagnant, you'll fall behind and cease to exist.
motivation vs discipline
motivation is doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, when we want to do it.
discipline is doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, when we don't want to do it.
what needs to be done has to be done; no matter what.
when you lose your motivation, you can still have your discipline.
quoted from xwonder

i've decided that going back to school during the holidays to do my project isn't very productive. however, i still have to go back. self-contradicting myself.
went to e!hub to find sy. drank cup walker, walked around ntuc and played 7 rounds of spot the difference while waiting for him to end work.
dragged to play pool with his friend at hougang after that. and i haven't touch pool since year 1. so the tally looks like this. win 1 lose 3. still have my accuracy, but failed to finish the last ball.
poured counterpain on my shoulder. second round in the morning. and hopefully it'd feel better.
+++
W.E.A.K ; 00:23
i cannot do a chair without larry's assistance. i can barely do a torch with larry's assistance. i'm weak and i know that. i need to gym more.
today was the first time we attempted partner stunts during training. basic ones. and i failed badly. to say the least, i tried.
can't gym tomorrow because of my wrist. so i'll probably gym before training on thursday if kelwin wants. if i wait for my wrist to fully recover before doing anything, i can quit cheer already.
it's ironic if you think this way. i can barely do a chair, and i dream to do lib. then again. if you don't aim to do anything, you'll always be stuck and never improving.

power is nothing without control ; Tuesday, September 22, 2009 14:24
i was blog-hopping and i came across many inspirational posts like the one from chaang at wildcards titled, "why is cheerleading 'not growing' in singapore".
i shall not comment on that. instead of just complaining and complaining, go read the post yourself.
power is nothing without control - the superman
from here
-
i was looking through the past 1 year worth of fb entries of this particular friend. he used to be one of my bestest friends in secondary school. after graduation, we don't see each other as often even though we just live across the street of each other.
his life now revolves around drinking and clubbing. without either of those, he feels bored, tired, restless and i don't know what else.
one night i saw that he was at home so i asked him out for supper and he replied that he just felt like drinking. so i wondered to myself. is life all about drinking and nothing else.
anyway, i decided that i don't impose that much of an influence on him as before. whatever i tell him might be going one-ear-in-and-one-ear-out. but at least i've said my point.
and i guess only one person would know who i'm talking about. because we both share the same views.

B.O.R.E.D ; Monday, September 21, 2009 23:51
i seriously shouldn't spend my holidays rotting at home and staring at my laptop all day.
i should just take the train to town, explore the area near the singapore flyer or go to the marina barrage but i'm just pure lazy.
and what's a definition of bored. like, spending the past two hours watching tom & jerry on youtube and still watching.
training tomorrow. i should just go out at 9am and explore some part of singapore or i'll probably spend all my time staring at the laptop again. which sucks and only gives me migraines.

waseda shibuya senior high school ; Sunday, September 20, 2009 22:35
i was too lazy to gym today. oh wells.
i know that there are australian and french schools in singapore. now i know that there are japanese schools too.
0930-1630. we went when there's only two hours remaining. maybe we should've went earlier. and there's always next year.
i should stop attempting to take free car rides or i'll end up doing more stupid things.
went to serangoon garden for dinner. the place is still as crowded as ever but the food has managed to maintain it's standard.
gym with gerald tomorrow. i shall aim to do a clean and jerk 40kg. at least attempt.
+++
ion ; Saturday, September 19, 2009 22:53
i seriously wonder if i can gym tomorrow. the past three days of gym plus running 2.4km with gerald today has made my body feel jelly-like. if i don't, then i'll have to spend my hari raya holiday on monday gym-ing.
went to ion orchard today. four basement floors for normal shoppers and four above ground floors of boutique shops. and judging by the price of the food, i highly think the place is intended for tourists only.
at least $5 for a regular plate of food. $1.60 for a chicken wing. $5.50 for 1 meat and 1 vegetable with rice. $1.70 for a cup of tea and $3 for a slice of mango. i think that's the worst. i can buy a whole mango for $2.
no bicycle = limited places for supper. i should take my car license soon. then it should be more convenient.

; Friday, September 18, 2009 00:55
nel ends their train service before 2330 on weekdays. i learnt that today.
service 136 from punggol says their last bus on weekdays is at 2345 but the bus came at 2350. i ALMOST walked home from punggol interchange. in fact, i took out my shoes and was prepared to change when the bus came.
-
i decided not to post this in the blazers blog. no real reason whatsoever.
i guess not many people read my post in the blazers blog, hence kelwin had to scold on the spotting part today.
maybe it's not the whole team. i don't see enough passion and commitment as compared to the previous year. people are coming to training just for the sake of coming. doing only what they're asked and nothing more.
people still laughing around when stunts are going up and we're supposed to be serious. i'm not pin-pointing anybody because i do not have time to look at everybody during training. i am busy doing my own stunts.
and i seriously don't know where this post is leading because the thoughts are endless.

blackmail! ; Wednesday, September 16, 2009 21:45
windows live forced me to upgrade the messenger to the latest version. after so many months of resistance, i had to give in because they refused to let me sign in unless i upgraded it. and the new version takes up 1/3 of my screen.
gym-ed with qiming this afternoon. i don't know how but we spent 2hr 10mins there. and we didn't really spend much time talking and resting.
i still have not slept past twelve yet. i find it impossible with the weather outside my window.
training tomorrow. i'm still contemplating whether or not to go school early to work on my project because the attire turns me away.
i should visit the library soon and find some reading material. seriously.
+++
; 01:12
i updated the blazers blog. and again, it wasn't on a very happy note.
it's always about the juniors. i spent 44 minutes to think of that post. and i know that if i type anything here, it'd be a repeat post.
i know it's very late because i haven't been awake past one for a long time. oh wells. i want to sleep. and i'm hungry.
+++
zz ; Monday, September 14, 2009 23:52
i wonder why do i bother getting angry in training. who actually listens to what the seniors say. who actually listens to what i say. if anyone did, i wouldn't have been so angry today.
apparently i was woken up by helicopters flying outside my window today. and i thought national day was over a month ago.
i should wake up later tomorrow because i'm still lacking sleep.
i missed both my buses and i still reached school today. and i think i can give up going to the school gym before training because the db people think the same way as me.
training again tomorrow. i shall be punctual and reach at 1800.
+++
chobits ; 00:02
i finally finished watching chobits. mass watched the last 12 episodes of it today because i was bored. going to watch a 150-episode next. i wonder how long i'd take.
gym-ed with gerald today. gerald, please be more motivated to gym. hahaha.
i hope it rains in the morning so i can sleep till 5pm. although i know that's not going to happen.
training tomorrow. back to school. at least, i know i don't have to be confined from 9-6.
you know that i fight for you but how can i fight for someone who isn't even there
+++
; Sunday, September 13, 2009 12:54
i didn't get to sleep past noon for the weekend. i shall try again tomorrow.

do angels really exist?
not only do angels exist but they are also all around us, even if we are unaware of their presence. they interact with humans on a daily, second-by-second basis. if not for angels, we would be in mortal danger all the time. they protect and defend us. when we slip, they hold on, and when we hurt, they provide comfort. when we are dejected, they encourage.

end of sip ; Friday, September 11, 2009 22:59
yay! i've graduated with first class honours for facebook-ing. finally, it's the end of my jail term. i'm released and free!
the only reason for going to school today is to submit my sip report and log book. the rest of the day seemed like a holiday. everyone was doing their own things. but what do you expect. it's our last day.
i think i've accumulated lack of sleep for the past five months. thus, i'm suffering from exhaustion again now.
my arms are retarded. i don't know why. no elaboration needed.
ben & jerry's chunk fest at marina barrage tomorrow. 2pm onwards. any takers?
all i know is REALLY falling

sip report day 4 ; 00:33
apparently i took four days to declare my report complete.
LAST DAY OF SIP TOMORROW. YAY! (:
the itenary for tomorrow.
0900-1030: print report and complete sip log book
1030-1400: google "how to fold a bow tie with paper" for photoshoot
~1730: complete project integration and testing
i can't wait to be get this over with.
cheer training today. sorry to coach, justin junior, raynor and michelle for that stunt which could have caused hurt. all i thought of was fun and i forgot about safety for that moment.
to gym or not to gym after sip. *wonders*
+++
sip report day 3 ; Wednesday, September 09, 2009 22:49
i have more-or-less completed my report, which is good. supervisor will be checking tomorrow. i can't wait to see the expression on his face when he sees the "description of work environment" and "environment variables".
i thought of not bringing my laptop tomorrow. but that would mean using fb will be risky. because sitting on the other side is so much safer.
i love today's date. 090909. though i don't really believe in anything auspicious.
two more days of sip. 99.9% NO EXTENSION, i think.
i almost got caught using fb, playing rc, d&d, treasure mania, ffs and reading manga today. ALMOST.
+++
sip report day 2 ; 00:34
i got some inspiration from weiliang and so i was able to write in my report what, "lab environment" and "environment variables" are. to say, it sounds crappy but everyone has the same thing.
I HOPE TO FINISH MY REPORT TOMORROW. a few missing points, which i would ask my supervisor tomorrow if i remember to.
we did something new in training today. okayy, it's not really that NEW. it's just integrating shoulder sits, shoulder stands and elevator together to form a pyramid. still, there's an improvement!
larry gave one of his favourite debrief sessions today. long time since i heard one but it should stay that way because it shouldn't be happening in the first place.
i tried a new route home today. took nel from punggol to serangoon. missed the last circle line train by 30 seconds. came out of the station, and saw my bus across the word. so I WALKED 9 BUS STOPS HOME WHILE CARRYING MY LAPTOP. free gym session.
THREE MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL. YAY! (:
with every step you climb another mountain
every breath it's harder to believe
you make it through the pain
weather the hurricanes

sip report day 1 ; Monday, September 07, 2009 23:42
i've dedicated the whole of my last? week for report writing. hence, i shall not touch my codes at all unless i'm asked to BY MY SUPERVISOR.
richard seow did not come today at all! i think he's on mc.
day 1 of sip report writing. i'm proud to say that i'm half done, and not-so-proud to say that my report has less than half the word count.
there are many points that i think it applies to hardware project only. and if anyone would like to suggest, what does designing a website got to do with environmental variables.
gym-ed after school today. i know i wasn't properly attired because i didn't expect to run. and i forgot to bring my towel because if i didn't run, i wouldn't perspire that much. thanks to that, my whole body is aching now.
day 2 of sip report writing tomorrow. hopefully, i can fill in every point. and even more hopefully, my supervisor would be back in school so that i can ask him tonnes of questions.
training tomorrow. i think i'll be fine tomorrow.
expect the best
be prepared for the worst
f*ck what others think and do your own thing

alpha verve-blazers exchange programme at nus ; Sunday, September 06, 2009 22:59
i resent something worse than roasted meat. and together, my wallet and handphone roasted and reeked of oil with me. to conclude, i had to take the bus home. how bad could things become.
-
nus alpha verve and tp blazers exchange programme.
i set my alarm to 0530 but i snoozed till 0605 and i accidentally turned off my alarm. lucky i didn't oversleep.
the rain didn't like me this morning.
met kelwin in 74 and bus-ed together to buona vista mrt station. we reached at 0740 and as expected, we were the first to arrive. amazingly, most of the team was early.
the morning downpour wasted a lot of our time, hence things had to be shortened.
1. the ice-breaking resembled fo, but the forfeit made me more sporting
2. conditioning was a killer, especially when i went to the gym the day before
3. kicks was OKAYY. i partnered someone TALLER than me
4. learnt new arm motions from av today! (:
5. gymnastics was relatively fine. i think my cartwheel somewhat improved
6. basic stunting with av juniors felt like a recap session
7. advanced stunting with av seniors was fun but i was slacking most of the time
basically, the alphas were very nice people. well, that's what cheerleading is all about.
a big THANK YOU to our coach akane and alpha verve for making this exchange possible!
-
bbq at coach's condo after that.
bryan and i represented blazers by doing the cooking..for three hours?
everything on me was practically cooked. i'm thinking of throwing my phone into the washing machine.
anyway, we had fun. for the whole day. the sad thing is, i've school tomorrow. on the better side, it's only report writing. integration and testing shall come later.
+++
; Saturday, September 05, 2009 23:59
nusav-tpb exchange programme tomorrow.
i need to reach buona vista mrt at 8, means i've to wake up at 6 or earlier. run to central to grab some food from mac or i'll die in the journey there.
i miraculously managed to wake up at 0730 today to gym! decided to go to safra and paid 3 times more. i had no idea it was that expensive until i reached there.
okayy, i should be sleeping soon or i'll wake up at noon tomorrow.
+++
; Wednesday, September 02, 2009 18:31
i worked out 2 very simple equations:
lab - jacket = brain freeze
favian - food = gastric
thus,
brain freeze + gastric = die
yeaps. that's what almost happened this morning. lucky my father saved me on two occasions.
anyway, i missed school today. kinda expected it. back to school again tomorrow. i don't want to extend my project. then MAYBE i'll skip school on friday. HAHAHA.
spent the whole morning and afternoon, only waking up for 20 minutes to eat my first meal of the day till now. i'm awake and..alive! (:
