First time I see Simon standing ovation for a competition...
Its a FRIDAY!!!
Oh another good news.... after so many years... (or like forever) Singapore Airline Boys are finally getting the limelight. (its about time) Read in the papers today they are finally standardizing their uniform to smart navy blue... SAY BYE TO THE UGLY BLUE-ISH GREY UNIFORM~!~!~! . This will take effect from 30th June and the "ranks" will be differentiated by the colour of their ties now (blue for newbies to purple for the most seniors). So many years their focus have been on the girls, its high time the guys get some privileges. Talking about the girls, alot of discussion have been going on about the standard of the so called Singapore Girls. Many claimed that the QC standard of SIA have drop plenty compared to the yester-years, are they so desperately understaff? or are pretty girls are just realising the fact that they are too smart to be working as a "high class waitress" (what commoners labels stewardess)? Feedback from within even says that the recruitment nowadays are just filling up the valencies and looks ain't that important anymore? Then again looking it from another point of view, is SIA just being less discriminating to not so looking individual and help "fulfill" their childhood dreams at the expense of Singapore Girls strong reputation? Seriously... there is more to see I guess.. But from where I stand, being a Singapore Girl/Boy have greatly lost it value.... sadly...
Now back to my workout... last day of week 2 regime.... verdict, tougher then last week... due to the sudden explosive power required for jump squats and lunges... but the ultimate effective-ness to the workout would still got to the time. supersets with one mine break is an absolute killer. I finish each session at about 30 mins and it feels like I have run for at least an hour. The difficulty to catch my breath part is a killer... But whatever it is... its complete and looking forward to next week... This weekend is dragonboat and my passion run on sunday which will cover 15km, my first running event for the year. and honestly, I have not cover such distance ever since last stand chart... so my goal is to not stop... and complete the race...
Since i foresee my weekend to be packed. Took my break yesterday and caught the LOTR concert at the esplanade. I think it was not bad for a local band, a certain level of professionalism was there... so the concert was overall enjoyable. Together with the visual it sure brings alot of effect from the three movies... Great music with great company = wonderful night... Will share photos once i get them...
Thats all I have for now... plenty to rush for my final assignment and procrastination is really getting the better of me on it... as progress is running low... but moving along, thou slowly.... but i guess is a study thing that I have inculcated from poly, love the last min mad rush so hopefully will get a better effect over the weekend....
Have a wonderful weekend ahead everyone... cheers!!!

Going to persevere and determine to get the best out of these 16 weeks.
here is my week 2 regime. Wish me luck... I WILL SURVIVE!!!!
RESISTANCE TRAINING
A1: Dive Bomber Pushup
A2: Jump Squat

C1: Double Crunch
C2: Single Leg Plank Pose

1st week passed.... reflect
Lets do a recap.... been doing the regime I posted at the begining of the week, my verdict, seems easy when you are not doing it... hahaha Thou its all body weight workout... it takes the breath out of you with the supersets... as for cardio intervals, doing Muay Thai on tues, thurs I did my runs, and tml there will be dragonboat. This is pretty much how things will be... but the workout is fun, you just have to push yourself a little... The guy that is doing it is a bootcamp instructor... so that explains his determination, for me, I just need to prove it does not need a fitness instructor to show you that its only possible for them... 15 more weeks... and for all those who is joining me on my journey... will post my weekly regime here (or rather his 16 week regime here) and maybe we can work our way to a 6 packs together man... hehehe
Just make a pact with a secondary school friend, Chee Yong, who is entering into FUN ISLAND coming thursday to protect the nation. His mission is to lose at least 20kg in a span of 4 months, if you break it down its 5 kg a month about 1.2 kg a week. Not an impossible task since you are in tekong... jia you bro... his mission for me is to be able to bench 25kg each side, with reps of 12, honestly not so strong, but for him I will try my best...
For all those "supporter" I thank you... and do keep you words of encouragements coming.. hahah (suddenly i sound like N*F asking for donation, hehe you know... Please dial...1900..... hahaha)
Will post my coming week regime on sunday... hehe my rest day... hehehez Have a run next weekend, so probably go collect my race pack on sunday. Its the Singapore Passion Run. 15 km run which honestly I haven't train AT ALL!!!! but after the few rounds of running, can feel my stamina slowly picking up, (for short distance, not sure for long) so the key t the run will to survive the 15km without stopping. that will already be an achievement.
Reflection, think I am not much of a guy.... dun get me wrong, dun refer to that I am turning gay, thou there is nothing wrong being one and not discriminating. Think I have been a Mr. Nice Guy for too long, really, so much so that I am losing any part of a MCP in me... its not neccessary a bad thing (to many girls might think) but its not exactly a good thing either. But will have to sort it out alone... this is not something pple can help i guess.... But lesson learn... reflected and will improve... I AM GROWING STRONGER!~!~!~
Have a great weekend peepz...

Why didn't she come to Singapore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnXNt4fJqj4
check out the link to find out who I am talking about... and yes... I am totally in love with this song!!!!!
It starts today...
Rather then my regime in the past, which got be labelled as gym freak, where life revolve around gym, I am taking on a different approach, on working hard, but working smart too this time around... I have a chance to stumble upon this webby on a success story, and will give his workout a try... In 16 weeks he managed to get 6 packs, and together was alot of success stories, but mostly found from the other part of the world (meaning the states). I would like to prove to myself and everyone that, its possible to do so in Asia too... Will share his weekly regime here for those who are motivated to lost some weight and allow ur abs to see light. For those who are still not convince... No forcing you, coz honestly, there is no point, some people follow from the motto "Do nothing and be happy, rather then doing something they are not" so yeah, its you life... you choose...
Alright, enough trash talk, here is the regime for my first week, then on, I will share me feelings for every week, and hopefully show picture of my improvement, am targeting by week 8 and of course 16 which is the end!!! Wish me luck people...

Its all in the mind...
But the point highlighted is how such goods "poisons" her guest's minds... and she actually made them realise how so and how bad they are being "poisoned" and how dependent they are on these goods. There is this girl, all it took was a fashion label, and it was able to change her way she look at life, and you can literally see the change in her, SUPER DRASTIC LAH!!!! she was made to go out in 2 set of different close. One and authentic Prada dress and the other a cheap dress that look expensive. The difference was they swap the label. So lets call the Prada dress that has its label swap "A" and the fake prada "B". So when this girl wore A, she felt super inferior, like she is out of place, no one was looking at her, no one was noticing her, she found it hard to talk to people, she shouldn't be dress this way in a posh hotel, all because she didn't know that the dress was actually PRADA!!!! then when she wore B, CHANGED!!! the confidence and all was back, she talk to people, walk with her head up straight... feels all good about herself. Weird isn't it.
Then there is this mother that will not dress her kids in nothing less then branded, and not kids branded, ADULT brands like polo ralph and hermes and stuff like that. (OMG!!!!) on the average she spends 1000 on her kids MONTHLY!!!! THIS IS MADNESS!!!! So Tyra tried the same thing on her, showing her a series of kids wear, even go to the extent of getting someone to act as a designer to describe the clothes, and she was hooked and say it was her kind... little that she knew all the clothes range was from Kmart and the designer was someone from the audience!!! OMG!!!
If you think that is extreme, people even go to the extend to make water branded, no you are not hearing wrongly, WATER, H2O, the thing flowing out from you tap. Some people in America actually spends money buying bottled water... CRAZY LAH!!!
I am not saying that I do not go for brands, just not that obsess with it. Brand do play a part of my buying decision, but honestly will not be the first thing that make me buy an item. If there is really going to be ranking. Here is how it will go:-
This is in terms of clothes and things we put on myself.
1) Comfort
2) Looks/Appearance
3) Workmanship
4) Brand
and the list goes on... yes brand no doubtingly will put into peoples brain how reliable it is. But honestly it does not play such a big role in my part unless there is a "Pulling" factor. Like a good steal of such like something going for hundreds and I am getting it for 30 bucks or something. yes, but I will feel so much better if the thing is comfy, good quality and workmanship at the same time price is good... the achievement is so much higher man...
Perception is always playing tricks in everyone's mind, even in my own, but one honestly advise. Try looking at the thing you feel like buying from many angle, do not just get blinded by the brand, look out for details and sometime you can get something better from a departmental store then from a boutique.
In her show, she invited a couple of authors who wrote about fashion today and about branded goods losing its luxury. Honestly, I do agree that luxury has lost it touch, and I do not blame them as they have to to meet demands, but if you think of it... do they have to? or they want to? You are getting big designer brands and nowadays it is made in China, Thailand, etc. What happened to those made in Germany, or Italy things already. Please do not misunderstand, but I have no issue with goods made in China or Thailand, or are particularly fancy of things from Germany and Italy, my point is, since those goods are originally from there, why aren't they made there anymore? Cheaper manufacturing but selling at 'original' prices? think about it. Luxury have really lost it touch.
Human perception is a really scary thing... but its what keeps big companies going, and millionaires' bank full. preying on needs, desire of human... And as intelligent as we think we all are... Think again... even the smartest have their foolish moments...

CHAMPIONZ!!!!
Another would be America Idol, David Cook is crowned the new American Idol!!! ROCK ONLI!!! hehez... both are good (that is according to my mum, but she was rooting for the youngster, as she claim he did very well and got super good comment from Simon) Oh well, I am sure both did very well, with Cook only winning by a mere 12,000 votes, a very little amount considering the number of votes have been casted (MILLIONS LAH!!!!) Congraz... and let see how things goes for him lah... Honestly there isn't many that really succeed, the only would still be Kelly Clarkson.
Was looking at training from wrestler yesterday over in youtube...and cannot help but feel that this wrestler, or rather ex-wrestler, Brock Lenar, is a true athelete man... for a man his size, he moves really really fast... scary fast... give me lots of motivation... but of course not to get to his size... just having part of his strenght and stamina and physics I will be POWERFUL LIAO LAH!!! but look at the workout he goes through and u understand how he gets to what he is man... ENJOY!!!! its an orgasmic experience...
A promise to keep... boring blog ahead...
Been promising myself to workout for close to a month now... and honestly thou progress is slow, I am conditioning my body to pick up rather well I must say. Anyway I have a target to reach, 25 September 2008 is the date. A few targets to reach, as follows
1) Toner body (hopefully my abs will show)
2) Be lighter, fitter, stronger
3) Better fitting in clothes (being a fashionista, thats a must)
4) Bring out the confidence in me
5) long term goal, Maybe appear in magazine again? pehaps... hehez
This is going to be an all out experience, and my blog will now features on all the moment till 25th september, the time frame is 16 week. In this 16 weeks I will share all the thrills and spills, the ups and down to my workout regime as well as a record of my diet plan. As well as photos sharing. meanwhile, here is what I look now... present moment... just taken 5 mins ago. Not a pretty sight and certainly not for the faint hearted... hahaha

The fear inside...
I am tired... really tired... cause I don't understand, and I do not enjoy leaving a question hanging... I like it solved... coz its bothers me... and no one wants a problem during a weekend when they already have plenty over the weekdays... TRUST ME!!!
Bloody Monitor keep giving me problem, think I have to change it soon before it cause my cpu to crash.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! i feel like just screaming like that now man... Thank god for Muay Thai, truely the only things to vent whatever I have within. I think if there is not muay thai, I will be in Hougang Chalet already.
Giving everyone everything and end up with nothing for yourself... should I be so selfish... can't i deserve some too??? Someone tell me??? I am afraid, to do things I want to do... or at least think I want to do... I donno why... but it seems that way... TOTAL SIAN-NESS!!!

Self Reflection...
Hmm... Honestly, I say I try to be there for everyone of my friends.. those needing a listening ear, a word of advise, a shoulder to rest on and all... So much so I wonder at time, What is the base to the advise I am giving? What made me so special to be advising people. At times I get so overly carried away I will think, Why complicate such a simple matter and broad over it... GET OVER IT ALREADY... but reflecting on that now... its not as simple as it seems.... Coz like they will say, things are often easier said then done. Many a times, maybe me being overly sensitive again, I feel that me extending my aid seem to others as my form of showing off. In what expect I really donno, maybe i am just being to self centered, and feel that all the attention is at me all the time... You know I am not sure if you feel this... but I do all the time... I feel that I am judged every second of the day (except when I am alone, and even then, u do judge urself too... when u look into the mirror). I voice this out and many people just thinks I am being paranoid, maybe I am, but i cannot help it. Serene mention about brain conditioning, and again, I feel that its something easier said then done, if everyone is capable of doing so, psychiatrists around the world will be out of job.
I am sure many of you out there have experienced moment where what u say and what u think is contridicting... Like you tell urself "I can do this" but in your mind you are going "there is no way" yet u try to convince urself you can... Its a kinda conditioning, but I honestly say... it doesn't really work on me... coz many a times, these things that happens to me is a reflecting of my past. so much so it as already turn to a habit, a reflex, something that will come to you naturally when something else happens. Hard to change, but never impossible... working hard on it...
I am into a new phase of workout and trying to 'regain yesterday's glory' and ultimate aims... started my cycle of supplements again. and already catching up on my runs and all... thou the distance remains... still trying to work on my stamina. First run of the year starts in less then a month away. Singapore Passion run, a 15km run this year... ECP, my most hated running round when comes to running event coz its a round about run so everything u see its pretty much the same... SIAN....
There is plenty more to reflect... but I cannot really put them in words right now... so i will leave it as it is now... and maybe a part 2 or what some other day then... Cheers, and have a great weekend ahead everyone!!!!

Rainy day... woo hoo
Learn a very interesting phrase from TV today, or Rui En for that matter. She says, "You can be everything to everyone, but end up being nothing to yourself." I feels its really meaningful and reflects alot on myself. Many a times, I have been so focus in making everyone around me happy, that i neglected myself. Its not wrong to be selfish and think of urself at times... You too need time off you know... hehez
Okok enough on that... Working on heaps of assingment once again as the term is coming to an end... This sem seems so much longer. but at least things are not as packed compared to that last... guess thats y I feel its more of a breeze... but having say that... should try to procrastinate less and get things done and over with... alright then... lunch time... the smell of food is really making me super hungry lah... hehez... Cheers peepz!!!

Yet another hot day...
Today its yet another hot day... this heatwave is frying Singapore man... its like being in a microwave (not that I have physically been in one... but SAME DIFFERENCE) Looking forward to Muay Thai tonight... the sweat and all... woo hoo... Got my supplements this morning... will start the cycle tomorrow on I think. Its really time to make amendments to my sleeping habits, eating habits, exercise regime and time management on a whole. Have plenty to change. Slow and steady is the key.
Hmm... nothing much to share about this bright sunny tuesday afternoon. Except that its HOT HOT HOT!!! haha... oh well looking forward to a packed weekend... so have to see lah.. hehez... Money spending again OMG!!!! have to stay with bread for the week then...
Alright have a great day ahead pple... cheers
Sunday, May 11, 2008
oppz. I did it again...
Anyway, to all the mothers out there... HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY!!! Brought my mum to sakea today. Due to the rising food prices, sakea have also increase in their price per plate... its no long 1.99 per plate people, its 2.29 per plate liao... red plate is not 5.99 liao... CRAZY ARH!!! but since it was for a special occasion then nvm lah... PPLE WATCH OUT ARH!!! hehez sakea is no longer cheap liao...
This weekend has been pretty packed... Friday, went to JB with Herbert and Terence, bert needs to top up on some office wear for his new job with ANA, ALL THE BEST YAH BRO!!! hehez... managed to get quite a few nice ones... I got myself a couple too and pants... hehez... ended up i got the entire set when he only got tops... but nevertheless, it was good "harvest". The rush back was crazy... we wanted to make it for Marie Digley debut performance at Velvet Underground for her promo album. Was late by 1/2 hour but still managed to get in. She can sing, but honestly, to offence to her fans out there. Its forgettable, if she is not yet discovered by big organsation, then this might jolly well be her first and last album. But she is drop dead chio lah... for that matter. As we were leaving after that... get to meet her face to face, too bad I didn't bring a camera (due to the rush) if not I will definately take a pic with her. After which, went to Wine Connection down at Robertson Quay (which bert kept pestering to go... hahaha and get intro to those SIA ger frens of ours... hahaha) for a little wine, and chat before heading home in night-rider.... send Serene home first of course... hehez.. couldn't let her go back herself at that hour can't I? hahaha
Saturday, went dragonboating with Serene, her company team and she ask me to try out. Was at Bedok reservoir, was a neat sessions, but through that session have really experience the importance of the basics (something i have neglected in the pass) I would say I did a good session with them, and for a first time meeting up with them... they are really friendly people... Evening went for a walk in town with Serene (after showering at home and all of course...hee) and yeah... pretty much summed up the day
Sunday, assignment block the entire day... progress and tension is building up...as my procrastinating nature have once again put these stress mode back on me... working slow but steadily to the finishing line... hopefully i won't do so bad... That about it for now... the week ahead, really not expecting anything big... But really want to get all the assignments done once and for all... so that i can chill already...
Have a great week ahead everyone!!! Cheers!

Bloody Mess!!!
Everytime i rinse my mouth, its like i am vomiting blood man... woo hoo scary... hehez... The dentist had to give me some kinda mouthwash to gaggle to stop the bleeding. Now have problem chewing too hard... very sore... but for the better of my mouth... i will be ok... hehez... Lesson learnt: visit you dentist once a year (thou some said once every 6 mths.)
Enough on my gross ordeal. Past 2 days have been pretty alright, manage to do a decent workout thou still struggling to keep my diet in place, All day i think about food food... when I have having lunch I will be thinking about what to snack after... IT IS BAD!!! try very hard to keep in controlled.
My monitor at home is giving me problem once again. Hope it does not affect my cpu... at least wait till i have enough money to get a new piece lah. hehez...
School's later, before that will hit the gym first... trying to keep this regime alive... I dun want my efforts to go to waste... The runs are nearing and I haven't been training my runs as yet... time to change my schedule abit here and there.
Jia you!!!

Wassup with that!!!
The damn weather hasn't been helpful recently. I know its no point whining (and I dun like to do so) about something that I cannot change. ARRRRGGGHHH!!!! That feels so much better. Everything in school is moving along pretty smoothly, too smoothly actually, so much so I feel like I am slacking. Is it wrong?
I had this feeling, a feeling even I cannot explain... I thought its gone already... but it just keep on coming and coming? Mini depression? I donno, but really hope not... haiz... What is this feeling... why am I feeling like that? I really donno... haiz... When can i face up to it... the unknown... I ALSO DONNO!!! How do you face up to something you don't even know? I wonder at myself sometimes...
Today, the sky looks hopeful to rain, but the sky seem really dark but not a single drop of rain in sight... Looking at it the bright side... at least its not very hot... hahaha have class tonight, do doubt I will leave office too late, wan to hit a workout in the gym first.
Easily emo lately... Finding back the old me... at least... trying to find...
