So today's a good day for motor racing, BrawnGP scored a 1-2 in their debut race, and me being a F1 fan, am ecstatic! (Though i thought what Vettel and Kubica did was stupidity to the maximum) Well, their loss is BrawnGP's gain. So watch out for the labelled "lower-rung" teams this year. Gonna kick dust into the Ferraris and McLaren-Mercedeses :D

Friday was Jake's birthday dinner at the Japanese-Place-Where-You-Put-Ice-Cream-Sticks-To-Order at Revenue House. He's turning 20, but i think mental wise, dude, long way to go. HAHA. Nonetheless, good dinner with the army friends. Saturday was my daddy's birthday dinner at Lotus Garden Restaurant at International Road. The food is great and cheap, and it's an Ala-Carte Buffet, so yeah, good deal overall!

In other news, I did alot of running this past week and miraculously, my knees held up. (By virtue of the knee braces, heh) So i hope my physiotherapist will be happy with the progress. I'm gonna slowly get back my marathon-able fitness.

I'm slowly getting sick and tired of going to camp. Sigh, but what to do, i'm already blessed to have a desk-bound job (not that i want it), so can't complaint.

So i was thinking (Heh, things that i get from staying in the office for too long):

Why is it that 90% of people answer a (what i presume as a) yes/no question with a question? Tsk.

....... FINALLY, I saw Demi Moore's picture with Aston Kutcher..... Are you sure that lady's 46? My goodness. Hopefully my future wife will be like that at 46. Heh. Or Jennifer Aniston at 40, i don't mind.

Bye!

P.S, I love it when i can be genuinely happy for someone, no strings attached.

So i finished my friday duty. My god it was so boring, i don't even know how am i going to do 7 of these in April. So after duty i went to swim. Felt so weak and all cause didn't sleep well and the lack of food. Oh wells, still survived. Heh.

Sunday was a lazy day, i scratched my mum's car and went to Weihong's house. His house's has the cutest dog and my dream room, and the ultimate Starhub-rival box. Heh. Cool home i must say.

So TODAY i went to spend 150 dollars to fix my mum's car, and i must say, a damn good job done :) And i went for the MRI scan and my knees turn out to be /   \. Collapsed knees. Argh and my therapist asked me to run 10 minutes for her, everystep felt like someone was biting on my knee. Bugger. She suggests total knee replacements which can only last for 10-20 years. Such a dilemma cause i want my knees to do my triathlon, but surgeries are always...... Harmful. Went to meet Weihong and Vanessa for dinner at Al-Azhar and went to Weihong's house to play with his dog. She's so cute :D

So i'm back and i have camp tomorrow. I don't care im going to run tomorrow though :)

Bye :D

So I went to swim yesterday in the hot sun, and it was great :D But you could literally feel the freaking heat through the water. I literally felt burnt in the water everytime i pulled a stroke. But still, i think i got back my zest for swimming. Heh. Would like to get back my zest for biking too though. Or rather, I want my old bike back :(

Would really like to go on a vacation in April after my 7 extras. Hahahaha. Provided i strike the big sweep or something, the only place I'm heading to is none other than Sentosa. Sighs, time is just sapping my very soul away. I would really like to be damn optimistic, but there isn't really much that I can do in this transitional emotional phase.
 
I hope my knees heal themselves, because whenever the weather turns cold, my knees hurt like crazy. (No joke). Don't know what my body is going to be like when i'm 70. All crumbled and all. Heh.

Okay i'm off for duty tomorrow :D (Have to skip outcamp run though, sian)

Bye!

So i went down to Borneo Motors today to service the car and make my mother's report. Have to say, the car sounds and works great after the servicing :D And the balance is finally fixed. Heh heh. Hope i'll get my dream car soon, cause I think my racing soul is trapped in that Vios. HAHAHAHA.

Okay so got a couple of scoldings in camp today..... That was fine cause i kinda expected it. Heading to work tomorrow to complete all my undone work in the dark :) I think my brain's degenerating now... Reading The Economist doesn't give me that kick anymore. Heh. I think i just need to sit down and read WITHOUT ANY NOISE. Anyway... AIG gave out 165 million USD in bonuses, after receiving 170 billion in aid. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. I think money doesn't even make any sense anymore. If EVERY sector is losing money? Whoever in the world is earning any? Money and wealth: 2 WHOLE different things. You may have money, but you've zero wealth. Just ask the Zimbabweans.

Okay when my life gets more interesting i'll update again :D

So.... Saturday i went over to my sister's place for a swim, and it felt GREAT. I think i love the water more than land. I wish i had love my sister more, because she's really the best sister anybody could ask for :D 

Evening was dinner with the army guys and watching ManU play Liverpool over at my place. Damn it was a good match. But in my sister's words, "huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!", to bloody ManU. (My family is staunch ManU).  We also played PES 2009 on PS3, which i won (which is rather unfair cause it's my game), but what the heck. HAHA.

Sunday was largely spent doing nothing... Then in the evening i went for dinner with Van at KennyRogers and headed over to Hooters (which i swear i didn't even know was). But the atmosphere and erdinger was good as we watched one half of Chelsea's match. Then we headed to the rochorroadtauhuey, but it was sold out so we had to eat at the stall beside it. HAHA. Then we met up with TY and ET and played raymanrabbits on Wii. Which i suck, big time. 41 games, i think i finished last in almost half of them. Tsk. Okay then it was supper (well, for them) at Al-Ameen's neighbour. 

It was an overall goooooood weekend catching up with all my secondary school friends. 4 years on, and nothing has changed. They're still the nice, lame, funny people. Heh.

AND TODAY. MY MOTHER GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. IN THE FREAKING MULTI STOREY CARPARK. My gawd. Its just a scratch and everything. You know, that's the problem with my mum. She thinks TP is owned by her or something. No road rules. Drivers like her, shouldnt be let on the road, seriously. Then i have to drive all the way to WestCoast area to fix the car. Tsk.

Til next time :)

Oh well, so i got busted for ze iphone, but that's no biggie. Just have to face up with all the following consequences.  Extras and/or 100 bucks deducted.

Its okay its okay :D Just have to learn to be... smarter, i guess. HAHA.

I've this crazy ambition to study medicine. Partly because of the various injuries that i've sustained in my fledging life, i would really like to help the people who have all these ailments. But who's to blame for all my bad results.... me :( And overseas medicine is really, just exorbitant. Nearing 50 AUDk a year? Multiply it by 6 and you'll get a Porsch! And that's only the degree. +2 years apprenticeship +many years of experience.... I'll be a old pig. I'll just let God decide whether i'll have the chance by the end of the year....

In other news:

2009 shall be the year that i try out new stuff. So, Brandon, i will try fishing; Eugene, i will try WoW; and Jake, maybe you should try something that humans do :D You guys will try stuff that i do; predominantly: breaking body parts and tennis. I'm really glad i have them as colleagues in the office, my daily dose of humour, seriously.

Day ahead: ORD ORD ORD ORD ORD stuff!

So.... Til next time :)

Hi, this is my first entry. I figured it'll be fun, trying to restart my blogging for the 3rd time.

Nonetheless...... Why don't i give it a shot :)

I've a big day on friday.... Simultaneously handling 42x2x4 sets of things because 42 people are ORD-ing. Personally, i don't think that ORD-ing is that big of a deal. I just don't get people counting down and proclaiming every single day that ORD is the most important day of their lives! Who am i to judge, just glad that they feel happy.

You know, being 20 is great, because i just realise that how i've wasted my life for the past 7 years. From secondary one til now, let's just see what i've NOT done.

1) Study properly.
2) Contribute to my family holistically.
3) Saved.
4) Been mature about love.
5) Take up responsibilities.
6) Managed peer-to-peer relationships.

Sigh. Having been through some much and just looking back at all these issues, i think being 20 is going to be great, because i've finally shed (albeit not all) my old skin. 

Don't know if anyone will see, but i just want to say sorry to everybody (and everything) that i've screwed up, really.

Ahh, i like the full moon :) It makes me ponder hard.

Anyway, the world is just full of bad news now. Northern Ireland, who just had peace by the way, is under attacks by pseudo IRAs. Some guy in Alabama went on a killing spree in 4 places. The economic crisis is getting way out of hand........ (On the top of my head, RBS in the UK, and.... the whole of America) HAHA.

I pray that the world will be better, seriously :)

Til the next time.
