Fighter

Life is like a match

Sometimes… Winning isn’t everything... It is the experience that counts.

Even the best fighter isn’t spared from losing in a match.

Winning isn’t a measure of ones capabilities and worth.

What’s most respectable and valuable is the strength one uses to pick oneself up after a failure, move on from it, learn from the mistake, and push on to be a stronger fighter.

Treasure failures. It is in them that we grow to be stronger individuals...
which can only happen if we move on and learn from it.

I will face my greatest fears and look em in e eye.

HAHAHA

there is supposedly no 3 hr lecture tomorrow but unfortunately... they made it 2 hours from 5-7.

SIAN we were supposed to go for a JAPanese buffet!!!!!! I was sooooo excited about the SASHIMI!! Why does such a tragedy have to happen!!!

Im depressed... really. I need to take tricyclic Anti-depressants.

My poor stomach. it was soo excited to receive SALMON SASHIMIS okay!

Ive been eating like a glutton these days. I HAVE to simply munch on something in EVERY BREAK that i have.

I eat 5 meals a day!

at least 2 times of lunch and some small titbits in e evening before dinner.

I cannot resist the urge to eat all e time. i think its e cause of the cheap prices. Either that or i simply miss school food too much.

WOW and i juz realised that ill be havin MUAY THAI sessions 4 times this week.

Attended one today in which id to settle admin stuff.... the freshies are sooo cool seriously!!!

Cant wait for tomorrow lol

WOW i love my life!

CMAD

HULLO.

CMAD juz ended tonight. Thank God for the end of rehearsals.

we were perhaps the only cca which made a fool outta the display.

What with Garrick's spastic idea to roar at the start of our display.

AND all e cui screw ups...

rachel and I realised that our pair of gloves were on e same side... ON Stage.

SO we threw our gloves across to each other which landed awkwardly in the middle of the stage where the guys were sparring and where the spotlight was on.

The whole world was laughing.

And as we did synchronized sparring... Rach went a lil too hard and fast... and ended up punching me for real.

We stoned... before rach mumbled "sorry" which was incidentally picked up by the ceiling mikes for the world to hear.

In one of e last scenes, which i was in, i forgot that i was supposed to do two knees... i did just one... my opponent stayed sturdy and waited for my nx kick which wasnt coming.

He fell back on his own, after realizin the mistake, makin it look like hed been hit by some invisible force.

ALl in all... it was a freakin unforgettable performance. Think it was better than last year's.

And last but not least... thanks to u guys who came down specially to support man..... i know how disinterested u guys are in this martial arts stuff but u came down anyway... i cant emphasize this further but i am v v v v v v touched!!!! E freshies... pple like minting, pris, and mich... who rallied evryone else to come! Jade, Angie, Ting ann, faiz, jez, weiqin.. and many more... and the smses.. WOW i seriously didnt expect this much support man.

Totally unforgettable night.

TODAY is an exciting but long day.



School has started! but i guess there has been more play than studies... at least for me. I havent revisedd any pharm stuff.



Been so busy with mUay thai stuff almost evryday of last week... going home at 11 pm evryday.



We're desperately tryina sell tix otherwise we'll hav to fork out the cost of the tix ourselves with our fund. Not v cool. Try to buy leh.



for today, there'll first be welcome tea, den sign up session, meeting to discuss alot of stuff.. and my stupid CMAD display isn't settled yet when the production is due to happen this thurs.

So screwed.

its awesome to watch the formation of the new NUS muay thai team... we must keep e cup. Already we've spot some potential fighters from the camp held last weekend. And we're gonna do a revamp. Its cool shit.

Im thankful for the girls.... for bein supportive and for takin e time out to offer their help... Thanks for takin time out to travel to SPH with me to carry 350 mags back.. id have been alone otherwise.. Thanks for stayin back in school juz to support the muay thai display at science. What would i have done without u! =)

Okay yay i got my Tut slots!!!

School starts today. A fresh new beginning... a fresh new Year.

I am finally a senior! how cool is that?

I dont feel prepared at all... honestly.. i havent read up on anything nuffin!

For the next 6 months, i shall expect lack of adequate sleep, and nutrtion. I shall expect my brain to burst... i shall expect plentiful headaches. I shall expect feeling faint and havin giddy spells from over exertion... i shall expect my hands to ache from carrying heavy books.. I shall lose myself... somethin i dread e most... et cetera et cetera.

Basically, going to Uni is like going to torture camp. Not really... for there will be friends around and we will egg each other on.

Tough as it may be, i shall embrace this new year, muster whatever energy i have and work towards my goal once again.

Dear Lord,
please be with me... and help me to remember this prayer.
Amen.

and at night.. i spent a lovely evening at the American club with Nick where there was free dinner and wine. Finally i drank screaming orgasm again... i love the milky concoction altho its abit strong... and i got sleepy. Visited this inaccessible area where we had to hide from authorised personnels and spent the night in a lonely garden at a rooftop and marvelled at the architecture.
Played with cats and did chin ups at my house after that.

Today is national day. The sales will be crazy. I am so gonna shop today and spend a crazy evening with shanny shan!!!

Happenings of my 20th Birthday

Its been sometime since my 20th birthday... but i thought i might like to keep a record of evrything. Afterall we only turn 20 once!


The events first unrolled when we decided to conduct a surprise visit to ys's house on the night of 25th of July 2009, the day before her 20th. I know its not a celebration of my birthday... but it still feels like it cos we usually celebrate our birthdays together. HAHAHA


She was takin forever to get home so we camped at the level below hers for a century where we gossiped and danced to Michael Jackson's Beat it. A pity though... most of e girls couldnt make it cos of curfew and school



frantically lighting the candles





Surprise!




love

On 26th July 2009, I had a celebration with my family and my relatives in e afternoon where we had Japanese Buffet. And at night, it was a mini celebration at Granny's house. I love Granny very much =)

I am a depressed old ahmak.



Spot the man sniggering at the back.



I love you gorgeouses =) Thanks for making evrything memorable!


----------------------------------------------------------


On the 28th, my real birthday, I went to school and saw no one at the matric fair booth. I was alone all mornin and had to entertain myself with MSN. Matric fair was awesome... saw some familiar faces.. who wished me while my muay thai guys stoned and watched on. Apparently they were supposed to pretend like they'd forgotten.


Den came the surprise with donuts and my baby rachel. I punched the flames on my candles out. HAHAHA thanks muay thai!!!!!
