Pretty sad when its a friday and stuck at home... today is off day and seems like a wasted day altogether, alright not all wasted, at least i got to the gym for a little workout.
Hmm... lets talk more about yesterday, Got to work pretty early as there are some stuff to complete, after work in the evening, head down town and met up with Azre to past him something to be passed to chief clerk, when to do a little window shopping at Celio and Ben Sherman, absolutely in love with the things in there man... argh... tempting... Anyway, evening got to Muay Thai Class, a totally different crowd from Tuesday crowd.. hmm would say more professional crowd, but not as friendly i suppose. Training was less tough, or pehaps i wasn't given that much attention, so when lesson ends i still had tonnes of energy stored within... felt so uncomfortable... wanted to realise them but haven't an idea how. So got home, just kept pumping myself till all those energy more or less got balance..
Today, rest day, but didn't really sleep in, haha didn't wan to waste the morning away, besides i have been having this weird dreams for the past few days, so its have been waking me up many times in the night, breaking my slp, so can say i didn't have undisturbed sleep. and plus all the workout i have been getting, adds on to my fatique i suppose... was so worried that i woke up today with a hoarse throat. Immediately got a huge glass of water and drink before it worsen, and thx god it didn't.
The rest of the day is pretty much spent at home, till about evening when i hit the gym... can say I enjoyed my workout today, pehaps due to not using all the energy within me... it spurred me harder for today's workout. But i still did in moderation as i have dragonboat for the next couple of days and dun wanna tire myself out. talking about dragonboat, we are into the final month before the race... and next weel they start the Heaven (hell) week training, where training is on a daily basis..., I of course cannot make it on the tuesday and thurday due to muay thai, but i will try making it for the rest of the week... hmm pehaps i might go for muay thai only on tuesdays... well have to see how ba...
Well this is friday for me i suppose... tml will be the women's time trial... so hafta be there earlier as they plan to leave the beach a little earlier then usual as the trials can take quite awhile at times... Nothing much to update i suppose... hehez.. take care and enjoy the weekends!!

Time Trials!!!
Last weekend we have a time trail session for the mens during dragonboat training... Meaning a pair will be selected and placed in a small boat together with 2 others, a sweep and a timer (so total 4 in a boat). Then one side will paddle at a time for a distance of 200m with timing taken every 50m. Below is my results...
Know the prints are abit small, but those highlighted ones are my timing, I did both left and right. Had to do left twice as there was an overwhelming amount of people doing right, so just to balance the boat. My results for my right was 2min 11sec and my left is 2min and 2.03min for the 1st and 2nd attempts respectively. Not wonderful as i wanted to hit under 2 mins, but there is already improvement compared to my last time trial...
Alright, thats all for now... ciaoz

Tired...
I have not do any workout the entire day, and yet I feel restless the entire day... lack of slp? overworked? i am not sure... but i need to rest, if not with this kind of weather, the sick bug is bound to come knocking on my door, something i won't want happen, especially when the race is only three weeks away...
Hmm... got back from work a few hours ago, haha finally doing something other then data entry, finally feel that my diploma is of some use for my current job... hehez... Well let me talk more about my muay thai lesson den. Actually wanted to take picture of my little accident from muay thai yesterday for a little edition of "Gross", but I am too lazy to even get my bum off the chair now, so i guess i will just describe den... hehe, well... its a pretty common thing you will get i suppose when friction is involve, naturally blister grew, and as u turn blister bursted and the skin is left dangling.... so yah thats pretty much what happen to me when i was practising my kicks, and surprisingly, i continued with that, hahah almost causing another blister to grow within the broken skin... haha hopefully it will recover well enough for my lesson tml night...
Other injuries i got is just the common bruises and well a sore left foot, which i strangly got after and not during training, apparently this old man on a bicycle drop a bag of cans right beside me as he rode past, so thinking he might have heard the loud crashed of the cans, i took my time to pick it up for him... When i looked out, it turns out that the old man must have difficulty hearing or something, he actually rode off without it, so i gave chase... and thats when i felt this sharp pain from the left sole of my feet. The more i ran the more painful it got... so i gave up after awhile and left that big of cans on another bike, which i presumed also collect old stuff, judging on the number of things that is already on it (lucky whoever that is...) Then in had to literally hope on a leg to catch a train back home...
Current status of my leg, pretty ok, at least not that pain as yesterday. Very looking forward to class tml... haha i guess its because i put in too much yesterday, thats why i am feeling the after-effect of losing too much energy all at once... tml will try to take things easier i supppose... hehez... Alright lah, guess thats all i have for now... Tml work and muay thai, friday might not need to work, yipee! long weekend, at least a day rest before dragonboat... hmm maybe go tanning? haha depends on the weather i suppose... anyway... Take care pple... Signing Out. MR. RYAN!!!

Last time and first time....
Today is the start of a new chapter of life... Yesterday is the last day of my NSF life... haha and i am offically ORDed!!! woohoo... the feeling is definately great... Got back to camp at about 2 plus, walked past the guard house for the last time with my camp pass, walked passed the ever so familiar cook-house which i spent many lunch there, and a final climb up the slope to the whitehouse...
The place was awfully quiet when i got there... i suppose its because majority of them have yet return from Korea, as I entered the office, i was welcomed by the familiar voices of Azre and Zul, Azre being the HQBO for the day, and Zul was helping him out with the deepa-raya celebration thingy.Then was off to chief-clerk to help me settle all the documents. Most of the incharge was out so have to get signature from other high authorities before i got reunited with Mr. Pink... The first time i saw Mr. Pink 2 years after i gave it away in tekong, almost couldn't recoginsed myself if not for the name and number on it... haha... But nevertheleast a good reunion.... After that, spent sometime loitering in the whitehouse, since i know i dun get to do that anymore... Got some drink from the canteen, then went to look for my friends at the lower lounge and all before making my exit from the place... Before going down the hill, I complete my chin-up regime for the last time, something i have done for the past year or so everytime i had to fall in, i would do my chin-ups first.. and there was no turning back from there... Got a cab home, took a shower packed some stuff and head down town for my Muay Thai lesson 1.
Got there, Alvin (the coach) was already waiting, was asked to skip for 3 mins with a super thick skipping rope... tiring... but really worked my forarm as i try to push faster speed... very good warm up. den i had a 1-on-1 lesson with Alvin, on basic jabs, hooks, uppercups, knee, and kicks(which gave me a huge blister on my toe... haha) Alvin was kinda suprised the rate i picked up the sport and honestly, so was I. and as time passed, more pple came and lesson was proper... hehez... group, honestly u dun get to learn much, half my time was spent holding the punching pad for other member to punch... not that i dun learn anything, i get to see how others did i at least. We ended the session with cool down crunches and push-up.. haha the push-up was a killer for me...
There I have already made a number of friends, Gary, a teacher at NYJC, and apparently a friend of Mr. Mak(my fren in SAFband) Joani, currently unemployed, Daniel Regional sales, and Ryan, student, sec 3 liitle boy... hehez... went out to dinner with them before heading home... was tiring but really enjoyed the sport...
Thats on my last and first, last day in camp an as a NSF, and my first time in Muay Thai. Now, its time I go shower and head for work... will update more soon... looking forward to Muay Thai tml already!!!

When the Pain sets in...
This past week have been pretty much "smooth" for me... Would say nothing really special happened to me... Oh except for friday pehaps, was in office doing work and as i was just about to finish up with things, i recieved a call like 6.10pm from California Fitness for an interview like 7pm. I was like shocked when i first recieved the call... haha, as a matter of fact, I actually sent in my resume just for fun, thinking what the heck, just give it a shot... haha
Anyway, went down to California Fitness, at Raffles Place. Filled in some form, then met their manager, Nelson, friendly guy, stern but interactable, didn't really felt traumatised talking to him. He asked me a few questions den kindly walked me through the job scope i would face if i really became a personnel trainer. Its no bullshit man, the job is tough, and alot of sacrifies... i told Nelson that i would consider before i make my decision, and really, i will consider. After that, met up with Angie, who didn't go Oktoberfest as it was packed (Corperate Night), had dinner at some soup places, which suprisingly filled me up, thou its just soup and for the fact i was really hungry... After that, walk about and met up with herbert. Chilled out at Pauliners, and had really talked alot with them... haha first time i actually confide... haha and strangly, i felt lighter of the chest, pehaps its been in me so long that its have unnoticingly became a burden to me... hehez... glad i got everything out... Sorry guys to have to make you guys hear me whine... thx thou
Guess my wounds from wisdom tooth will take awhile to heal and alcohol is really not a good option right now. whenever i have a drink, the pain is intense man... haha.. Anyway, just have to pop in a few pain killer and everything is fine i suppose. Now to training, went for both days despite the haze... haiz, hate the sickening haze lor, causing so many pple to fall ill and not able to give 100% for training... I guess its affecting me too... Must say the training is not really hard, but i am feeling fatigue from it... hopefully i dun fall ill coz its really not the best time...
Muay thai on tues, its officaly, already made arragement with Alvin, so looking forward to it... haha hopefully i will be able to make it... and guess what else is on tuesday... haha ORD lor... see Mr. Pink and regain Mr. status...woo hoo!!! 2 more days... haha well thats all i suppose... ciaoz
