IF YOU LEAVE

2009-02-06T21:20:00.002+08:00

I've MOVED okay.
Technically, already moved last month, but only doing so officially now.
MOVED.

>>> HERE <<<

2009-01-28T20:41:00.002+08:00

I think I highly dislike Twilight.
I got bored reading it.
I've never gotten bored reading ANYTHING.
(Anyone dare flame me for this? Watch me do it back to you. =.=)

The book, from what I've seen so far from other people I know, tends to give
people (girls mostly) a certain, probable, false idea of what they want guys to be like,
or how guys should be like them.
(Again, please, just see if you dare flame me for saying such stuff)

Anyway, to totally throw my point away, I don't really care.
The characters in the book/show aren't real at all.
I doubt they'd appreciate photography or the outdoors as it is right?
=)

And speaking of photos.
Kate's AF died on me. Stupid.
And somehow, the SD card cover is loose, and messes with the sensor in her.
This will be the second time I have to go to the Service Centre since I've gotten her.
This time, for a real fault.
My AF died on me.
DIED.
AF! (autofocus btw)
Not that I can't live without it but, geez.

2009-01-28T04:04:00.002+08:00

BORED
SLEEPY

First day of OT.
Even worse?

Ohwell.

happybirthdayshujuan

2009-01-27T20:34:00.002+08:00

18 more days.
18 more days.
18 more days.
18 more days.
18 more days.
18 more days.
18 more days.

2009-01-26T11:13:00.003+08:00

In future, my kids, If I ever get married and have 'em that is, will probably turn out ot be creative freaks or something.

By the time I have them, I'll probably have a nice collection at home.
Probably may consist of the following: (not counting the first, everything else will be in order)

EOS 5D
EOS 450D (Kate)
EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro
EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Speedlite 580EX II w/ random diffuser as well.
Sigma 8mm F3.5 EX DG Circular Fisheye
EF 50mm f/1.2L USM

Wooooooo.

2009-01-25T00:00:00.005+08:00

Yippee.
With the job my mum is giving me, not only will I be able to get my Telephoto, but also my Wide-Angle!!!

Getting either this, the 55-250mm.

Though I'd prefer this option, the Sigma 70-300mm. Check out the pretty lens hood. Haha.
I just put a photo of it on a Nikon cause the camera looks cooler.

And here's my Wide!
The 10-22mm.
I'm so gonna rock sunsets and sunrises with this little baby.

And when I'm satisfied, and my mom gives me similar jobs, hello Speedlite.
Okay, goodnight.
Match to watch.
Fish. I just wasted 20 bucks on my meal at Simpang.
I had a WELL-DONE steak when I asked for medium.
Vomit Vomit.

2009-01-23T21:34:00.002+08:00

It's good to know that people tell you you're the best at something.
Even better when you don't let complacency get in the way.
=)

PRCP was great.
Though my last day IS tomorrow.

2009-01-23T17:58:00.004+08:00

I find myself doing this everyday now.
Daydreaming. Reflecting. Blank.
All those.
Urgh.

2009-01-21T20:24:00.006+08:00

Woot.

With patience, anything is possible really. I love this shot. I like how the gentle post-wave just curled itself around that big shell/rock in the bottom of the photo. I liked the prescence of the ships anchored off the harbour, and the ports further in the background. Detail Detail Detail. If you look closely, you can spot Mount Faber! Just to the slight above-right of the center of the photo. And also, on the next breakwater in the photo - the one on the top right - you can see two people standing on it!!!!

Okay, okay, I'm not THAT excited.
Easy shot. Bleah.

2009-01-21T16:04:00.002+08:00

When you start to not get included, and not know about stuff that goes on, and it's with a place or society or group you are close to, don't be too sad. Go find something else to do. In my case, I have some other area(s) to fall back on, so I'm not really affected by all this.

Not invited somewhere?
Not informed about someone/something?
Not remembered about something else?

Doesn't matter.
There usually is something better waiting, if you're willing to take the risk.
Took me some time to figure that out, with emphasis on the portion on 'RISK'

=)

2009-01-18T23:50:00.001+08:00

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

AND THIS TOTALLY BLOWS THE ROOF OFF ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-01-18T14:36:00.002+08:00

I enjoy facebook, BUT.
This is FUNNY.

Christine
Always right.
Ahah.

2009-01-18T00:00:00.002+08:00

It just blasted on me on how much I love my career now.

Woah.

2009-01-17T22:44:00.003+08:00

WAHAHAHAHAHHH

I need to get my batt grip soon.
It'll really help cause I can keep Kate turned on (sounds wrong)
for extended periods on such short events so that I can capture stuff instantly, rather than fiddle with my lens cap and the on/off every single time.

If I DID have the grip now, I could have gotten this fella drinking from the can.
Oh well.

2009-01-15T11:27:00.003+08:00

Yup.
Not just people in-charge, or colleagues.
Friends now.
And it wasn't weird at all hanging out with these 3.
Ahah.

I think newly passed out SNs should watch their spending.
Shahidah was so happy to give me a treat at starbucks.
ahaha.
Okay, random.

2009-01-12T22:07:00.001+08:00

Eh.
Haven't I already passed PRCP?
I think I have right?
Yeah, probably.
Just unsure of the marks.
Merely awaiting feedback from preceptors?
Yup.

Can I not take cases for the last 9 days?
Lazy lah.

2009-01-12T16:21:00.004+08:00

Kate was causing problems yesterday,
Had to really squeeze every bit of my CS4 skill into repairing some of the photos.
Annoying.

This photo was one of those which came out unscathed.
I think Kate isn't used to me shooting RAW yet.
Oh well, with time and (soon) a better lens, and stuff, she'll learn to handle bigger things.

Nice eh?
Of course it is.
I'll allow myself a little praise here and there, from time to time.
Because I have had a lame week, last week, so I guess it's okay.

Eh. Makes me wonder.
Do people really earn so much money taking studio shots?
Cause this certainly looks like one.
*shrug*

Oh yeah. This was what I meant.
It doesn't even look like him.
And it's not just because the skin is too flawless.
Urgh.

2009-01-08T21:46:00.012+08:00

Ward Party today.
Kate made her first public appearance in the hospital.
Random stuff.
I found that today made me bond more with the other stuff.
The non-nurses I mean.

Okay, enjoy.

Front: Dietitian, Soon to be SN.
Back: SN, Physiotherapist, SN
Not that I don't know the names.
Just for fun.

Neo Sin Hwee + Hungry = Horribly Cute & Funny. Hah

Dr Roy Lee

Taz & Noreen.
Think that they can look good with food in their mouths, NOT!! =)

Say hello to Ahmad Suhayl!!
The baby of course.
The tall piece carrying him is Mugilan.
Funny, this baby.
I think he sees myself and Mugi as Rafidah's brothers or something.
He only wanted us to carry him.

HERE WE GO =)

Amor & Miaoli

Dr Sherry Young & Dr Shrikant.
Incidentally, their birthdays are in January as well.
Hence, the cake.

From Left: Yoges, Julien, Sheela, Juliane, Richard

Woah, I am so NOT going to name everyone here.

Finally.
Family photo?????
HAHAHA.
This is funny.
Yeah, that's Rafidah.

2009-01-07T09:43:00.002+08:00

Been rewatching Friends.
It took all ten seasons for Ross & Rach to get together properly.
Ahah.
Okay, random.

Ward 18 New Year's Party tmr.
With gift exchanges as well.
Photos, and more photos.
The ward is a nice place to take good photos.
Great lighting.
Finally. Photos of the other side of my life.
HAHAHAA

2009-01-05T02:28:00.003+08:00

Nothing says "I'm a good person" like giving these items to me.
=D Please?

2009-01-04T21:47:00.004+08:00

I think I want to go to Taiwan and climb there.
No, not cause I'm inspired by my OB mates who went there.
Woah, no.

Because little me, wants to know what an 'in-between' is like.
I've been to Switzerland, and that was colder than anything I've ever experienced.
I've climbed in Malaysia alot, so there goes the other extreme.

From cold and dry, to hot and wet (or sticky).
Man, I need to know what's in the middle.

Oh, and my mom told me I can go to med school if I wanted to.
=)
And so, there we are.
Yet ANOTHER option planned out.
Become an RN, complete NS, earn money for med school here.
Then decide where to go to study it.
And in between, pursue my photography.
Hopefully I can earn abit there as well.

2009-01-04T00:15:00.003+08:00

This is old, but..........
HAHAHAHAHA

2009-01-02T23:03:00.001+08:00

Umm, that's it?

2009-01-01T12:16:00.003+08:00

Hmm.
2009.
Resolutions.
Never done them.

Should I?
Well.

I can't say I need to study harder. Haha. Pfft.

Hmm.
Okay.

1. Learn more tolerance and increase the length of my "fuse" (if you understand)
2. Abandon love, except those for friends.
3. Run less. (which might not be possible due to NS soon)
4. Be more consistent in my photography.
5. Be more professional in my behaviour, even though it is already one of my strongest attributes, but doesnt hurt to be improving all the time.
6. And geez, more TOLERANCE.

Okay.
Done.

2008-12-25T16:30:00.002+08:00

I liked work today.
Busy, but not hectic.
Busy, but no noise; peaceful.

And the usual perks of being the only student around of course.
Participate in roll call.
Eat more food.
Do other stuff you won't get to do when others are around.
Fun.
More to learn.
More to SIGN.
=)

2008-12-24T17:30:00.014+08:00

Yeah yeah.
Happy belated to myself *rolls eyes*
Thanks to all who gave wishes.
=)

So, plans today, and was in a rush, SOOO, I brought Kate to work, and messed around abit afterwards.
Mugilan with Richard bothering.

Richard

Taz. Acting only.

So, headed down to Vivo.
Where, I was 50-50 on expecting a surprise.
Shujuan made me walk around for over an hour.
And we sat down to do this.
Ultraman.
Pardon the colours.
I'm colourblind.

Earle Swensen's.
By this time, I was already convinced there was no one but me and her.
And so, I was genuinely surprised to see the other four sitting there.

LOBSTER!!!

Duh. Naturally.

My turn to be bothered by her.

Hung out up top for awhile.
Met up with Sally, Yong Kang, Aqilah, Hafiz, Yang Yi, Daniel, Kian Kok. Is that all? I feel like I'm missing someone. Okay. Sally's and YK's birthday today incidentally.

Yup. Birthday people.
With the loser born on the 23rd in the middle.

2008-12-21T21:59:00.005+08:00

I'M BAAAAACKKKK!!!!!
I think.

Well, I'm back from Camp, and there's 5 weeks till the end of PRCP.
Woah indeed.
Before I post anything real, a random, BEFORE/AFTER from the camp.
Great camp.
Over 1500 photos.
LOL.

Oh, I started adding my I.D to my photos.
=P

2008-12-07T21:56:00.001+08:00

Great

WONDERFUL

2008-12-01T21:10:00.002+08:00

I'm totally disobeying my hiatus. But I had to come and say something.

Why the heck did the Year 1 NP nurses stare at everyone with some crappy face? Be it us, or the NYP dudes in my ward?
Strange is it?

Think you're a better nurse is it?
Dream on.

Okay, let's be nice.
Perhaps they've never seen students hard at work. Heh.
Okay bye. Till end of December, remember!!!

2008-11-19T22:12:00.004+08:00

I SHALL BE TAKING A VACATION FROM NOW TILL

THE END OF MY ATTACHMEN - UNLESS OF COURSE

I FEEL THE STRONG URGE TO POST ABOUT

SOMETHING.

I'LL PROBABLY ONLY UPDATE ON THE OUTREACH

CAMP AND AGM IN DECEMBER AND WHEN I END

SCHOOL.

BYE BYE FOR NOW.

2008-11-18T23:45:00.000+08:00

I feel like closing this place down.
Heh.

2008-11-16T22:00:00.002+08:00

What a waste of time.
Should've just slept at home.
Even if it meant the lack of the 'Fire Your Guns' & 'Carolina In My Mind' songs.

But hanging out after that was gooood.
Sort of.
Ha.

I'm extremely exhausted.
Why.
Why.
Why.

2008-11-15T23:54:00.003+08:00

Well today was a relatively fine day.
My parents and siblings left for Penang early in the afternoon.
So I had Derrick over to hang out.
Sadly (like, REALLY sadly), no YingJia. =(

Played abit of FIFA09.
Ate my experimental grilled fish, with olio and baked potatoes.
Quantum of Solace at TM.
Study.
Bolton vs Liverpool. Which involved ALOT of laughter.
From the players slipping to the misses, to the teeth breaking even!
Woo.
Plus, the usual chat topics.
And oh, everything we predicted or discussed regarding tonights live matches practically came true.

Freaky.

Alritey.
Time to go "enjoy" my "freedom"
I don't know what to do tomorrow.
Apart from clean the rabbits.
Bleah

2008-11-13T16:57:00.001+08:00

I dislike it when people tell me.

"Nevermind lah, you'll get one soon."

SOON.
Soon was THREE years ago.
Soon was TWO years ago.
Soon was LAST YEAR.
Soon was yesterday.
When the hell is the soon. =.="

2008-11-12T18:23:00.002+08:00

I've been feeling nauseous since the weekend.

No. It's not medical.
I don't know why this is happening at all.
And everyday, something threatens to really make me just puke.
It's a struggle keeping everything down.
Sort of anyway.

Damn.
Perhaps a nice dose of Maxalon would be good

2008-11-07T00:01:00.003+08:00

I notice, that, most of the time, I have the chat windows of my four most trusted people, open.
Even if i'm not chatting with them, or they're not even online sometimes!! Haha.
Oh well.

2008-11-03T20:23:00.002+08:00

Okay.
Looks what I did to my links section.
Whether it is cool or not, anybody who copies this for the next 3 months at least is an idiot.
Haha.
I shall try hard to find photos.
Proper ones.

2008-10-29T10:49:00.002+08:00

"the reason we can't say those three words to each other is not because it isn't true."
then why
"I think we both know, that the moment we do, it won't be the start of something, it'll be the end.
think about it"

........

we don't have to do those things. We can do what we like.
"what we like is this."
the game
"without it i'm not sure how long we'd last. It'll be just a matter of time before we messed it all up."

Nicely done.
=)

2008-10-25T23:59:00.001+08:00

Why is it I get mad at people who like the same things I do.
To be specific, if they start to like it way after I do (sometimes this even extends to years)

Perhaps.
It's because people make a big deal out of it.
Some make it into a trend.

Like.
When I picked up guitar just before Secondary One.
No one was playing at the time.
Or at least, no one made noise about it.
Then a few people knew I play, and wanted to learn to.
So yeah, I showed what I knew, even though I wasn't very good then.
(And because I was lazy, I still ain't that good now)
And eventually, everyone started buying guitars, bringing it to school, etc etc.
Then, boom, everyone has a new band they're raving about.

The best part is, people requested for me to be part of their band.
As their BASSIST.

Thanks ah.
I picked up guitar so that I could play bass.
(No disrespect to bass players out there. I just don't like to play it)

But anyway, I got sick of the whole thing.
That's when, the adventure side appeared.
2003. First summit at Ophir.
And so, I abandoned my artsy side.
And yeah.
I think people tried to follow.
The camp at Taman Negara was probably proof of that.
Alot of people tried to be heroes in the forests. Things like that.
Which reminds me, a few people were selected to go for the OBS course.
And they were all people who were on extremely good terms with a certain teacher who was the one doing the selection. That got me mad as hell, as you would expect. =)

Anyhoo.
That trend never materialized I guess.
My school. Most were probably caught up in entertainment, dressing up, music, etc etc.
Few outdoor enthusiasts.
Which is good news for me.

Because the conclusion for all this is, I hate it when things I love to do are made into trends.
However, I definitely won't stop sharing my love for the outdoors.
Hey. I'm using the ST3PS model well okay.

2008-10-25T16:14:00.006+08:00

Weekend Points To Note

Is it okay for me to not like it when people doubt/debate/or reject my judgement?
OF COURSE IT IS
Impulsive? I don't know. What do you think of this. I have the complete discography of Queens of the Stone Age, and oddly enough, the Greatest Hits for Queen. 53 songs for the former, 33 for the latter. Nothing wrong right?
Oh, that now brings my playlist to 2269. Still missing alot of my CDs. They're lying about somewhere.
Sometimes sucking up is a sad necessity
Apparently, according to certain people i'm working with, I have 'Leader' stamped on my forehead. =.=" I did'nt take it as a compliment. =.= =.= =.=
Grey's is getting abit weird, but exciting nonetheless. Gossip Girl is just full of memorable lines. Woot. =)
And lastly, today marks only the 3rd or 4th training i've ever missed in OB. How fun. I spent the last three hours of my shift wondering what I was missing out on, and whether I'd be in the dark about new developments and things like that.

2008-10-21T20:15:00.001+08:00

Points To Note

My Template was causing problems and I can't be bothered to fix it. So it shall stay this way for now.
Is there really anyone else out there who can choose to be on my side? You know, without the "you're either with me or against me" nonsense?
I don't like that my life is so well-balanced.
Well-balanced, how?
Right now, I am really happy with one thing.
But why can't everything else be happy as well, or neutral.
There ALWAYS has to be at least one other thing that infuriates me. Hmm
I have been slacking in my running.
Long-distance to be specific.
No worries on short.
Oh. Despite my concerns about my PRCP ward, I realize everything will go well.
The nurses are impossibly patient, and they were different than I last recalled.
(I was in the same ward 2 years ago for CA1.1)
And somehow or rather, I'm like the unspoken leader (?)
It's only the second day, but already I'm the one talking to Sister, and Peter on everyone's behalf. Okay. Sure. Can.
On a related note, I couldn't wish for a better sister. She let me take 4 days off so I can attend the outreach camp. Excellent. And the fact that I have to make up on Saturday and Sunday is irrelevant. I'm actually looking forward to being alone in the ward then.
CHECK MY ROSTER OUT!! AHAH. Look for the stretch of morning shifts.
On the downside. I totally didnt recall to change my shift on my birthday.
Oh well.
I don't really care anyway.
Epiphone by the end of the year?
Heading in the MacBook Pro direction soon, within the next 2 or 3 years hopefully. =D

Conclusion.
Err.
Goodnight?

2008-10-19T20:54:00.002+08:00

Time To Get Nostalgic

2008-10-17T14:24:00.002+08:00

Imagine.
A patient.
18 years old, male.
Deteriorating rapidly.
Let's assume he isn't a DIL/DNR case eh?

Okay.
Deteriorating.
Gonna go soon until something is done.
So.
Emergency procedures done by the medical staff (nurses included!!)

Patient goes to ICU.
Still fairly critical.

So.
Which should it be?
The staff goes full out to help them back?
Or the patient has to do it by himself?
Does it ALWAYS have to be abit of both?
Does it ALWAYS have to be both sides either compromsing or reaching a mutual agreement?

Figure out this post people, if you can.
Let's just say, I'm the staff here eh?

2008-10-15T21:15:00.002+08:00

IF ONLY you don't always beg to differ.
You'd make a way better team player, not to mention an even greater friend
=)

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

I think it's settled.
Everyone knows what I want, right?
My desire to go to all those places?

So, once the time comes.
I'm off.
To work in the Middle East.
I've already been sort of promised a job there.
But fret not (for those who care about my existence here),
I won't be there forever.

2008-10-14T22:30:00.002+08:00

I know what I want.

In the following order, hopefully.

To go to Gunung Tahan after PRCP.
Summit Mount Ophir at least once before I enlist in NS.
Climb whatever I can get during NS.
2 or 3 different summits in M'Sia in a year after NS.
MATTERHORN. Before 2013.

After that. I wanna go

Ice Climbing in France (Chamonix perhaps?)
Mauna Kea (volcano)
Mt Logan (Tallest in Canada)
Puncak Jaya (New Guinea {Indonesia})
Mont Blanc

Haha.
Sound too much?
And nah.
I'm not trying to rack up my mountain climbs for the sake of doing so.
Climbing means more to me than that.
From the dreadfully neverending traverses, or to the thrill of emergency almost-running-down descents.
Woot.

2008-10-09T23:30:00.011+08:00

Hello.
I'm back.
And I'm in a euphoric state.
How wrong.
I'm supposed to be drained.

Nothing much to say.
I would however, like to congratulate the LEP subcomm consisting of Eugene, Hui Hong, Quan Bin, Weilin, Kiankok, Janine, Mei Hong, Kelvin & Sebastian, for a successfully run camp. You guys got my feedback already (a real debrief feedback, not on the form. haha), so no need to say anything.

And of course, I'm rather grateful for the super long chat sessions I've had over the past few days. Roughly seven hours with Derrick and Wes on Monday. A couple of hours that same night with Jia Jun and Eugene. And of course, with Dong Yang during the trek to MacRitchie and when I went to get my dinner on Day 3.
Woot.
Thanks.

Goodnight.
Enjoy the following photos.
My so-called favourites la.

The first two, are examples of why it is okay to use
flash in broad daylight.
For those who DARED questioned me.
I shall crush you.
Muahahahah.

Okay lame. =.="

1. Shujuan @ Bishan Park
2. Derrick @ Macritchie (photo by Wesley [after much teaching]
3. Dead Crab
4. Jia Jun, both @ Sentosa

I also started dabbling in BnW.
And I'm hooked.
My photo is by Jia Jun.
Everything else is by me.

However.
I'm still not satisfied.
I can only do so much with my Kit Lens =(

Here. Last of all.

2008-10-03T22:33:00.001+08:00

Today.
TODAY.
I worked a FOURTEEN HOUR SHIFT.
SEVEN A.M. to NINE P.M.

You're all owned.
Muahahahahahahahahahaha.

And oh.
I chose to work 14 hours.
Anyone who thinks it's dumb, you're dumb yourself

(psst, the dumb sentence thing is called self-insurance)

2008-10-02T21:48:00.003+08:00

Hi.
I'm giving myself away (for free duh)
Anyone interested in someone who runs, whose idea of photography is mainly
portrait photos, and loves climbing mountains?

No? Nevermind.
Your loss, all you choosy people.

=.=

damn. i'm THAT lame.
die la. my post won't make sense.
even with so much reason behind it.

2008-09-28T17:37:00.003+08:00

Hello.
Meet my new friend.
The box described her colour as Aspen Gold / Black / Lightning.
I can only see it as yellowish-green.
Anyway.
Guess her name.
If you can't, the bottom picture shows it.

2008-09-27T21:20:00.002+08:00

I guess there really are two sides to everything.
At least two.
The good and the bad.

Like, yesterday, at work, when I jabbed a nice dose of a certain anti-psychotic drug into a patient who needed it, I felt good.

Two meanings

I'm very passionate about psychiatry, and like the feeling of helping someone with a psychiatric problem.
I'm sadistic, cynical, etc, etc.

Hmmm.
Oh well.
4 more days of L.P.S and Agnes Sim to go.
Yes, notice I said the above, instead of four more days of work or attachment.
After that, I'll have Raya to look forward to (sort of) and a WELL-DESERVED REST after that.

And everyone should know by now, Mirza's definition of a good rest, is a nice camp, a nice trek, a nice run, and other related activities.

Cheers.

It's nice to hear that I'm actually a safer person at handling patients than someone else.
But to have it said by Ms Lee, in her face, directly.
Wow.
Haha.
Gotta hurt, bad

2008-09-25T11:31:00.002+08:00

Fall For You is such a common song.

But damn, it just hits the spot eh?

2008-09-23T10:05:00.003+08:00

Never divulge a secret to me if everyone is going to know sooner rather than later (or ever).

p.s. to a friend of mine who recently trusted me with a secret, this is really just a super random thought. Haha. Not directed at you. =)

2008-09-20T11:52:00.005+08:00

MCQ Question.

An outing is organized and I am asked to come along.
What is the most likely outcome?

A) I enjoy myself a whole lot
B) Everyone enjoys themselves a whole lot more
C) A more meaningful outing
D) More photos (correct answer)

=.=

I realize, a few people, are very close (meaning one or two mistakes away), from being shot down by me. And no one wants to get that from me.

Hey, look at it from another point of view.
I'm in a very "powerful" position.
Heh.
Okay.
Random.
Bye.
Time to go waste my Saturday on the PS3.

2008-09-18T18:44:00.003+08:00

So, I've had L.P.S shoot me in the face day after day.
I've had sister reprimanding me for things I apparently did wrong (obviously I didn't)
And today, I had to recite every single thing I'm supposed to know about a few patients I had to Dr Phang.

I get the feeling the next 2 weeks will be smooth sailing.
Bleah.

Oh.
Bye Yu Heng.
Don't get slaughtered over there aye?

2008-09-16T18:02:00.003+08:00

It's not much.
But.
It's all honest work.
I'm satisfied.
I couldnt really care about my results.
=)

2008-09-14T23:17:00.002+08:00

It's been a trying month so far.
And it's only been 2 weeks since September started.
AND. It's only going to get worse.
I am not looking forward to the next 3 weeks.

Naturally had my fair (or unfair) share of ups and downs.

Truth be told, I'm actually in no shape to meet anyone.
Except for a select few.
You should know who you are.
And to some who might think you are the select few, you might want to think again.
=)

Maybe it's because i'm currently running on a short fuse, a VERY short one, which I'm managing to control because it IS afterall, fasting month.
I like it, not being freely able to express any frustrations, but instead, learning to silence it, and just calm myself down.
If this were another time, I'd have blown that fuse early on.

Trying month.
Trying month.
Trying month.

Just gotta get past these next 3 weeks.
After that, it's a well deserved break (for sure) and following that, 14 weeks with Peter Lim as my CF. =)

2008-09-13T00:13:00.002+08:00

Disappointment.
Heh.

Whatever.

2008-09-10T23:14:00.000+08:00

So, last night, I had....

Dinner @ Breeks'!

Decided to meet Ying Jia for Dinner yesterday to catch up and stuff.
Hadn't seen her in a long while already.

Was short but conversation-filled.
Our food got cold from all the talking.
Haha.

So, photos.
And my dear readers, no photos of me, fortunately or unfortunately.
Whichever.
And being the idiot I was, forgot to take a photo of each
of our main courses.

So the food was:

Soup of the Day
Brownies (complimentary)
Waffle Fries w/ cheese dip

Grilled Dory w/ Lime Chilli Sauce
Pan-Seared Seabass w/ Grapefruit Sauce

Brownie & Warm cheese

Hoooooo.

Okay.
That's all for now.
Friday.
OBT people return.
Looking forward to seeing a few of them again.
=)

2008-09-03T17:38:00.003+08:00

Old.

The lone idiot who ran as if he wanted to kill himself.
=.=

Anchorman. As always.
=)

Work is good.
I want to request for my PRCP to be in this ward.
If that's at all possible.

Oh.
Check this out.

Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters

2008-09-01T22:46:00.003+08:00

I think it's difficult to find more people like me.
The kind who actively, everyday, think about people they miss and wondering whether they miss you too.
Okay, what on Earth am I saying??
Virtually everyone is like that.
The only thing is I probably just miss people who don't feel the same way as I do.
Muahahah.

Ok lame.
First day of fasting was good.
As expected, spent the whole day working and thinking about the inevitable time to break fast, and when the time came, I was more interested in serving meds, and diluting plenty of antibiotics, and at the same time, avoiding trying to change diapers (cause I'm not obliged to do so anymore. Haha)
Left work late as usual, after passing report.
Heh.
I like work.
I no longer look forward to just buzzing off at 3pm/9pm sharp.
Then again, I lost that habit at the start of Year 2.
=)

Bleah.

2008-08-31T07:55:00.001+08:00

Ahah.
There are 47 Skills to be completed in 6 weeks.
Already got 14 this week. =)
Things are going well.

2008-08-30T00:40:00.003+08:00

Anonymous Subject Discussion
Case 1.1
Date Explored: Unknown.

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

Pre-Assessment:

Its easy to see me getting left behind, or forgotten, or just cast aside.
Why?
Because I have friends who are like that.
Reasons may vary?
One of them would be preference of someone who keeps them happier.

Case Study

Subject enjoys/enjoyed my company.
All the time.
I never fail(ed) to entertain, or keep subject in a good mood.

However, being the kind of person he/she is, the subject decided that a replacement may be necessary.
they felt the need to have a favourite person, you know, someone who'd keep them excited and screaming or high ALL THE TIME.

And so, I'm replaced.
And now, you have disconnected yourself, and I shall have the honour of furthering that.
Muahahahah.

Evaluation: Err, whatever, I guess? =D

OH, OH, if any of you should feel you are the above subject, do consult with me for clarification.
No one likes misunderstandings.
=)

2008-08-28T21:26:00.001+08:00

It's practically a week since attachment's started.
Fast, no?

Well, if all else goes well, it really is ONLY 23 more weeks.

2008-08-24T12:15:00.029+08:00

Hoo.
So, yesterday was officially one of the last days I'd spend being a free man.
Not a bad day either.
I got to feel happy, lame, tired, pain, anger all in one day.
So it's definitely a day worth remembering.
No sadness though.
=)

So anyway.
Naturally.
OB Outing.
Kate's first time to Vivocity & Sentosa.
So, she was in a good mood, because I got alot of rather good photos.
(IMO only. No other opinions allowed. Muahaha)

Okay fellas, same drill.
Photo. Caption. Photo. Caption.
Read.
Enjoy.
=)

OH.
CLICK ON THE PHOTOS PLEASE.
TO ENLARGE THEM.
DON'T BE LAZY

So I met up with Derrick & Huishi first.
The same people as always of course.
Decided to go for breakfast.

Lucky you for not having your mouth wide open.
Apparently, you have to take 5 bites or less.
She took about 20? Haha.
(psst!! Do braces count as an excuse?)
I took it in 7.
I ain't no American.
I'd post a photo of Derrick here too.
But for his sake, I won't, mostly due to the shape of his mouth
and the long long strand of cheese coming from it.

So after that we headed down to the beach first, before everyone else.
Set up our area.
Weilson & Xin Yi appeared soon after that.
The weather was, scary.
Spent alot of time looking at the clouds thinking whether it would rain
anytime soon.
Played a few rounds of 2V2 volleyball with a SOCCER ball.
So fun on the arms.

Derrick power eh. Bodybuilder seh.
Huishi. Umm. ????????
Weilson. Cold. (Water + Wind)

Oh, speaking about water.
I got gloriously pushed in the water.
Forgot my phone was in my pocket.
And poof.
There goes my W910.
=.=
So sad.
Lucky I didn't give it a name.

Anyway, anyway.
People came after that.
Like umm, 2 hours plus after the 5 of us were at the beach.
Rained like mad.
Sought shelter.
Played beach soccer for awhile until the rain totally subsided.
Then shifted our location to a bigger area.

Oh yes.
After we shifted.
Played games.
Monkey.
Some played volleyball.
The guys continued soccer. (Daniel scored FOUR goals)
Everything he touched turned into goals, according to Derrick.
The rest played ultimate frisbee.

So soon, people got tired.
I ended up, walking with Huishi in the light drizzle,
back to the Monorail, to go to the Coffeebean there.
Took me ages to guess what drink she wanted.
=.=
IMO, giving someone Coffeebean/Starbucks treats are scary.
Kinda.
But worth it. =)

Walked back in the slightly heavier drizzle with her Belgian Chocolate
and my Caramel.
By the time we came back, everyone was finally here.
So, birthday celebration time.

LEFT:
Junkai during the giving presents to the august birthday people section.
Won't post photos on that section.
All too weird.
Summary: Everyone got mostly funny gifts. Bikinis, Weiner boxers, Suspenders, etc, etc.

RIGHT:
Midori & Me
No comment.

Okay, we had a group photo actually.
But lazy to post that too.
From here on, I was playing with Kate and her tripod.
The above four photos (in addition to about another 100),
were taken at the same place, facing the same direction.

Same place. Different direction.
LEFT: Midori got a good jump. Wesley slacking as usual.
RIGHT: Most of you would probably already know that she isn't actually kicking him.
Still looks cool nonetheless -.-

So by this time, everyone was going to wash up and all.
Prepping for dinner.
Midori had an idea.
So we paid a visit to the four still playing volleyball.
And decided to spit on them.
"SPIT"

LEFT: Midori attempting to "spit" at Shujuan & Huishi.
They both ducked in time though
RIGHT: My attempt at spraying water to the two girls.
SADLY, Cheng Yi got the full blast in his face.
Look at his face.

Okay okay, so we were all in a hurry to leave the place.
Dinner time.
We went to sit at Vivo's rooftop at the grandstand area.

TOP LEFT: I like this one. Jia Junn insists the photo is fine as long as his the only handsome looking one. And I HAD to censor that face with the lollipop stuck in her mouth.
I'd get murdered if she ever sees the orginal face here.

TOP RIGHT: According to Shujuan or Janine (I forgot which) my arm looks like they were fats.
FATS.
Mind you.
On me.
=.=" "=.=

BOTTOM: Cake. Duh. Flash = Eeew.

Okay so lastly are the best photos I got from the post-Sentosa time.

TOP LEFT & RIGHT: I LOVE the lighting. Regardless of the face Jian Long is making, or how awkward Derrick looks. Damn nice.

MIDDLE LEFT: Midori. Again. No Comment.
MIDDLE RIGHT: The only photo I bothered to edit so far. Shall find some others to do so soon.

BOTTOM: SALLY IS SMALL. ONION RING IS BIG. HUISHI IS TEMPTING PEOPLE TO EAT IT. =)

Oh lastly

Okay, so that's about it.
Sadly, 6 months straight of attachment starts tomorrow.
Will be the last day I see most of these guys.
And seeing as that Yu Heng is flying of to China for attachment for 6 months or so, and I may not make it to his farewell @ the airport, he got a bonus hug from me.
Muahahah.

Okay.
Bye.
Again.
Photos are up.
Usual place.
Shooo.

2008-08-20T17:18:00.002+08:00

so i was bored

2008-08-18T22:52:00.001+08:00

Yes.
I hate the Power Rangers.
White Pink Red Blue Black Yellow
Individually as people, I appreciate them.
As a group.
Whoah-no.
Fortuntately, White Ranger is my relative of sorts.

for those who do not get this post.
dont bother finding out

2008-08-18T00:52:00.001+08:00

UMM.
Am I missing something here?

=.=

2008-08-17T09:35:00.002+08:00

ooooo

Tomorrow is Monday
Tomorrow is the 18th
Tomorrow is Nursing Management paper
Tomorrow is the Last Exam paper that I'm taking.

ooooo

and oh, for fun.
quite off in some parts.
those who know the song will recognize it obviously
muahaha.

2008-08-14T21:22:00.006+08:00

Well seems like my latests posts all seem to be very pictorial.
I kinda like it.
I'm more of a visual-spatial person anyway.

So, studied at KAP.
Feeling even more confident for NS5.
Hopefully it's properly placed confidence.

Did random stuff.
Piggyback people through aisles at Cold Storage.
Talking about circumcision and waving a real BBQ-ed hotdog in hand.
Random photos. Naturally.
Heavenly shots.
HAHA
Memorising.
good.

Meet JUSTINE TWO!

Photo of the day.
Nice, no?
=D

Oh oh, check this video out!

2008-08-13T22:12:00.002+08:00

Okay, today wasn't bad.
NS5 was refreshing.
Feeling slightly more confident now.

And I also tried on my new tights.
Haha.
Plus I did 10 sets of 40metre drills and 8 60m drills.

5 High knees + Sprint
5 High knees plus leaps + Sprint

4 Sprint Float Sprint Drills.
4 Full burst Drills.

Woohooo.
I need ALOT of work.
Today's wind was suicidal.

2008-08-10T01:22:00.017+08:00

Woohoo, so National Day beckoned yet again.
I decided to head out with a few fellas to watch the fireworks.

So, the day in pictures and captions shall we?
=D

All taken at Popeye's at Changi Airport's T3.
Huishi didn't join us for lunch though.
After Popeye's we headed back to my place to hang around for awhile.

Giving the look.
Guess to who.
As usual, it was the PS3, the TV, and the pets that were the order of the day.
So after hanging around long enough, we left for the City.

Hafiz's Briyani @ Food Junction.
Everywhere else was too crowded.
We then made our way to Marina Square, opposite the Esplanade.
decided there wasn't enough space, so we decided to switch locations.
We ended up back at the same place just as the fireworks were about to begin.
How horrendously adventurous.

Nothing spectecular this year.
And the SMOKE was insatiable.
It made for lousy photos.
Kate was a unhappy DSLR just now.
Hah.
So, to appease her, we decided to find somewhere to hide.
After much pushing and shoving (with my tripod at times)
we came across a nice grass patch.
Loads of photos taken here.
Shall preview a few.

My Handstand.
I didn't know my abs looked like that.
I don't observe myself in the mirror much eh.
=)

We jump.
First photo: I block Huishi's right arm poke and try to kick her.
Second Photo: She changes arms, jabs me, and I go flying before I can kick.
So we then got bored, and people needed to rush home, so decided to make a final stop at Fountain of Wealth for a few more photos.
Home after that.

Was a fun day yeah.
Got crazy with all the photo-taking and what not.
These are just a FEW of the photos.
Go to>>My Multiply Account<<

2008-08-06T21:04:00.011+08:00

Well, today was "Random Bring Kate to School Day"
That's what happens
when you don't have lessons, and Dr Thomas is extremely quick
when it comes to helping you out for your FYP.

Enjoy.

Japanese businessman? Or something else? *ahem*

Pardon the blur photo.
I nearly fell over.
This is Huishi being stressed before the interview of OBT.

Trying her best not to smile or laugh.

The view outside #02-11.

Shujuan looks more, umm, mature here.
Seriously.

Old man Wesley.
Who didn't know that you can actually pass out stools through the mouth.
Then again, how many people think that can happen.

There was a big mirror in the Staffhub.
Wesley is trying to prevent me falling down the staircase behind.

I cut Wes out from this cause he was half stumbling and had a horrible face on.
So being the nice guy I am...........

Dunce? Ehhhh.

Okay, goodnight.

2008-08-06T08:40:00.002+08:00

I guess it's been quite awhile since my last REAL post.
So loads of stuff has been going down these past few weeks.
So I shall update on stuff that's happened.

Project Nutz Relay

This was quite fun.
Had it just before EDU Camp started.
I guess we all did the best we could, even though we didn't win anything.
Nice experience though.
Shall look forward to possibly signing up as an Alumni Team next year?
Apparently I ran the distance in about 4 minutes, or slightly under.
If I had started earlier, I could have probabaly overtaken the NACC people
and some dragonboaters.
Oh well.

EDU Camp

I won't be too generous on the details of this camp.
It was fun, and tough at times.
I got an easy group to handle though.
Very easy.
Most of the camp can be explained in the photos I put up on Multiply.
For some reason, the 3 Days were rather taxing.

Monday

Ok this is lame, but my mom came over to school with me.
Most of you would know I was being CONSIDERED for debarment for a few stuff.
Well, quite an okay chat had with Mr Ismail, Ms Chang and Kylie.
Haha.
I think my appeal letter was VERY well written.
And guess what, it was successful.
So yeah.
No worries about staying back at all.

NAPFA

I know I posted my results.
But just for the sake of it, I'll post properly, with newer comments

Bent-Knee Sit Ups - 61 (Quite okay. I was aiming for 80, but didn't bother)
Sit&Reach - 45cm (VERY Pathetic)
Standing Broad Jump - 245cm (Wasted)
Pull-Ups - 11 (Just what I needed)
Shuttle Run - 9.3 seconds (I was aiming for 8.5 though)

2.4km Walk/Run - Okay firstly, this was kind of embarrassing because I blacked out. I think it was the fact I had nothing in my stomach except for red bull. Very clever of me. After 6 or so years experience at real hard running, you'd think I would know better.

Anyway, timing confirmed as 9:50.
No double digits for the minutes.
Good enough.
Satisfactory.
28 points.
Same as Han Bin.
And I only lost to Yu Heng cause he got As for everything.
The difference? SBJ and Sit&Reach.
So I guess I should be satisfied with my results
Weeee.

Last Training, Friday

Okay so firstly, I spent virtually the whole day with Hui Hong.
Met her at 11, since we both ended class at the same time and at the same block.
Went out to print photos and TRY to find a gift for Jia Jun.
We couldn't so we ended up going back to school to do the cards up for both Wesley and JJ.
Kinda good to hang out since I've never done so with her before.
I'm always sleeping in clubhouse after class while waiting for training.

Oh, yes, the training.
Was quite okay.
But I had to leave early.
Sickening.
At least I got some fun by helping to massage JK's calf.
Cramps are so exciting sometimes.

Okay, so the past week is summarized.
This week is rather good.
I like the feeling of getting extreme weights lifted off your shoulders or head or whatever.
CT Individual Assignment (40%) done and dusted.
WPD Presentation (40%) similarly.

I'm just left with the FYP presentation on Monday.
I guess everyone is feeling the same.

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

Okay, school stuff aside.
This Saturday is National Day, and my parents will be gone from Satruday till Monday.
I'm free to go out on Saturday to go watch fireworks and stuff.
And my baby Kate will be at home with me too! =)

There may be a 14th Comm outing.
But if there ain't, then I already have a back up plan.
Secret stuff.

So that's for National Day.
Even bigger news.
I'm registering for this years Standard Chartered Marathon again!
Yet another 42.195km.

HOWEVER, that hit kind of a set back.
My dad insists that I have to be in good shape, both in terms of fitness and health.
I'm expected to go for a full medical, what with my recent close shaves with blacking out and all.

Aside from that, I have to pass a special fitness test that will have to be done at his workplace.
It is potentially suicide, even for me, and he maintains that if I can handle it, then he would gladly allow me to run the marathon.

What fitness test eh?
I have to run 2.4km in under 12 minutes.
Rest 1 minute I think. Or a few minutes.

Simple, no?

HELL no.

After that short rest I'm required to run the same distance under TEN minutes.
*heart stops*

Oh well.
Oh well.
Oh well.

I guess that's all for now.

2008-08-04T19:43:00.003+08:00

Hey guys Memories of NP Outward Bounders is now open for all to view!

It's obvious which one it is.

Gratitude is like a Credit Card sometimes

You'll get something from someone, or they offer it to you.
You take it first, and the THANKS can be sorted out at a later date.
when the bill arrives, if you're that kind a person, you'll pay on time.
But usually, people like to delay.
There's the grace period, and you continue charging to your card.
Then when that period ends, you only pay back in haste, to avoid the fine.
some go beyond that, and ignore the fines, until the card gets revoked.

ZOMG
How edgy.
Hope you catched the drift of that post

2008-07-31T23:26:00.002+08:00

NAPFA was rather disappointing.

Sit Ups - 61 (can la)
Shuttle Run - 9.3 (I wanted below 9.0)
Pull-ups - 11 (better than expected)
Sit & Reach - 45cm (PATHETIC)
SBJ - 245cm (=.=')
2.4km - ??? ( I blacked out about 50m before the end and opened my eyes and was already lying on the ground)

So I think I have either 27 or 28 points.
Gold.
Great.
Whatever.

2008-07-24T07:58:00.006+08:00

EDU Camp is tomorrow.
Still deciding on the face to put on.
Believe me, it matters.

To tekan, or not to tekan.
Hmmm.

Anyway, Project Nutz is also on tomorrow.
Kinda nervous.
I'm targetting below half an hour for all of us.
Judging by the time trial we had yesterday, it is definitely achievable.
Everyone averaged 4mins 20secs, (with the exception of Han Bin) which is almost there.
A few seconds shaved off here and there should do the trick.
I really hope EVERYONE puts in their best.

Lastly, some random photos from Tuesday.
I brought Kate for my class photoshoot.
Woot. fun stuff.

Wee. P17

Act cool only.

Pure joy.

Excellent. This one, Jia Jun took.

Thinking

Hui Hong wtches in admiration as DY puts the fry in his mouth

And this is funny.
Both are looking rather comical.

2008-07-22T01:03:00.002+08:00

My daily MUST-WATCH music videos

2008-07-20T22:00:00.015+08:00

Well people.
I survived yet another long-day event.
Fun On Foot 2008.
Had a nice time, albeit in a totally different way from all the other OB fellas
=)

Firstly, I brought along Kate (My DSLR) and the tripod, to play around with the whole day.
Second, my official role was that of a Stage-Hand.

Honestly, it was a boring role, since I was only needed to lift up a heavy gong (with Zhan Yu)
onto the stage to start off the race, and after that I blocked out a staircase to prevent participants from going through it.

So, meanwhile, since I had nothing to do, I walked around shooting stuff, and the next photo is just hilarious. Somehow, it's her classic look. Very cute. Nicely done Huishi!

However, I wasn't going to be TOTALLY free of work because Yan He, the guy in charge, needed someone to go out with him. So I ended up bringing all my stuff to go for a long long ride with him in his van. How sad, leaving my friends at the station, though apparently they didn't miss me very much, or at all. Whichever.

Key facts about Yan He (that I know):
- OB Alumni
- 9th Comm TC
- Looks like he could beat the crap out of you
- Overall nice guy though

And so, began my hard labour.
Shifted a whole lot of water onto the van.
Man, that got the sweat working hard alright.
Turns out we were going to deliver the water all over,
to the Zone I/Cs who needed them.

So we first headed to the Armenian Church, near SMU.
I forgot the name of the guy we gave the water to.
Saw alot of participants, took a few photos.
But they weren't realy good shots.

Anyway, we then headed to Queenstown Library, where we delivered MORE water.
Then on to Sixth Avenue. Same deal.
Caught a photo of this mosque, which was the station there.
Pardon the poor quality.
I was in a rush.

So anyway, after that we headed to Jalan Besar.
THANK GOD for that.
Why?
Cause I got to visit, Clem and Midori, people who are very important to me okay?
Haha.
So naturally, got alot of photos here, since I got a longer break.

Participants figuring out the name of the model plane in the glass display.

So, it was with great heartache (YEAH RIGHT) that I had to leave the place.
We headed to Compass Point, then to Adam Road Foodcourt, to collect food.
Surplus food actually.
And I was glad to finally be getting back to Suntec.
Got a very long rest, and ate alot of the food.
And it was time to play around with Kate even more.

tripod time!
funny stuff.
There was a nice photo where we were waiting for the camera to take the photo,
and a little kid walked past.
Lucky for us, only his balloon appeared.
Not this photo obviously.

A goody pose, which I wasn't ready for cause I only time to sit down, seeing as that I ran back to the table. More importantly, CHECK OUT HUISHI'S FACE.
Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Anyway, our fun time soon ended, cause the participants were starting to reappear.
In no time, it was like a madhouse.
Me and Jun Kai found ourselves in a mad frenzy of lifting 20-30kg boxes of goodie bags from the logistics area to the collection point. Got alot of abrasions from the box sliding down my arms as we tried to put them down. Man that was fun. The two of us were probably on a high. And Jun Kai was whining alot, naturally. great fun.

Ended up having a VERY soaked shirt, so we changed into the pink participants ones.
After everything ended, everyone got jealous, and wanted one too. =.='
So anyway, had more fun playing around with the camera over umm, tea time?
Apparently alot of them went off, so it was only myself, Derrick, Han Bin, Jacq, Zhan Yu, Clem, CY, and Wesley.

Look at these two weirdos.
She was laughing by the way.
That's her way of muffling it.
Han Bin though.
I don't know what you were doing.

This is simply a nice photo.
The background is perfectly blurred. =)
But I AM rather surprised that I didn't see the cut on her neck,
and she did.
Argh, poor observation. *punches self*

And this is just.......
Well, I guess it shows what we all probably were feeling.

Oh well, all in all, I had a nice time.
Turns out I took 1GB of photos.
Scary.
Haha. =)
Goodnight all.

2008-07-17T00:22:00.002+08:00

This is funny for some reason.
HAHAHA

2008-07-14T08:53:00.002+08:00

It suddenly occured to me - again - that NAPFA is in about a fortnight's time.
Truth be told, I'm rather nervous about it.
Afraid even.

I know MOST people would think I'm worrying about nothing.
Especially since I'm surrounded by people who don't see any importance
for it, mostly girls la, since they don't need it.
Perfectly understandable.

Funny, how alot of my friends are saying stuff like
"You no need to prepare already la"
"Go and die la Mirza, gold already"

I usually just smile at their comments and not say anything.
But it really gets to me.
Why are people like that?
It's like, once those kind of comments are said, I suddenly feel bad for
being what I am.
Lucky I have people like Ghaz, and maybe Rudy around. Haha
They seem to enjoy discussing running and stuff with me, and seem to find
my running somewhat amazing. Great fellas. =)

Back to the point of this post.
I'm afraid of the test, why?
Well I've never really told people, but usually, when I have so many people
riding on me for elevated expectations, I don't usually crack, in fact, never at all.
But it's mostly academic.
But when it comes to something like this, say, a simple 2.4km run, I can choke.
Badly.
No, not choke on food and cough kind of choke.
Choke as in perform below par.
I seem to have a history of performing poorly.
Back in secondary school during my track and field days, I was one of the fastest guys, and could hold my own against alot of people, but I somehow screwed up a few races
(which includes not finishing the race)

Kinda scary when you hear people expecting you to run 7 or 8 minutes.
I can do it, and I have done it.
But now I'm lucky if I can hit below 9-and-a-half.
My legs are killing me, and I've been having chest problems for weeks already.

Oh well, whatever.
I'll just ignore everyone else, and do my own thing.

2008-07-13T14:56:00.002+08:00

And so, I finally (randomly) got a DSLR.
Nothing too fancy.
Just a Canon 450D.
Been playing around with it the whole afternoon.
Enjoy some of the test shots.
Haha. Again, nothing too fancy there as well.

Nice? =)

"You burned my house down and got mad at my reaction."

I realized I never really explained the meaning to the words
of Effect & Cause by The White Stripes.

But I guess it's rather easy to interpret that line eh?
Don't know why, but I'm having vibes of that
very line up there right now.
Like someone did something, but are gonna blame it
on me.
Hmmmmm.

2008-06-29T20:21:00.002+08:00

I really feel like I'm dying.

And just to make it clearer, it AIN'T this fatigue.

And I find myself compensating for alot of other stuff,
just to make myself feel better.
(at times OVERcompensating)

Heh.

2008-06-29T12:07:00.003+08:00

It isn't very fun, when you can open up to others,
but they don't like to recipocrate it, or ignore it,
or even better, are just oblivious to it.

Even simple stuff.
Like an unanswered question.

Lucky for me I'm too tired to really care.

2008-06-28T00:50:00.002+08:00

Is the culture in our country abit to conservative?
Or, is there any one definition for the word conservative itself?
But nevermind the latter question.

I just had a thought, on the way home with Sally and CY.
(Yes, it's amazing I could think, while having these two as company)
Is it ever possible for just regular buds to tell someone,
how much they mean to them, or how much they care for them,
without the other party misinterpreting?
(obviously refering to the opposite sex. you want the same gender, well, whatever floats your boat)
It is kinda difficult.
Oh well.

Pinnacle starts in a few hours.
Physically there.
But I'm not sleeeping!
It's 1 AM already.
gotta be in bukit panjang by 7.
Nuts

2008-06-25T23:10:00.002+08:00

The outdoors and things like that are my way of life.
My enjoyment.
I like working my ass off running or climbing.
Because I like the exhilaration you get from it.

So I really don't like it when I heard stuff like,

"Climb mountain for what?"
"Enjoy your life man, why torture yourself running"

There MAY be the chance I might be ticked off okay?

=)

2008-06-23T06:47:00.000+08:00

Woot.
I'm back.
And I'm sick.
Wonderful.

Photos and stuff shall be up soon

2008-06-18T22:53:00.000+08:00

Beef Jerky = EXCELLENT

Line of the day

"I never knew shopping for food with 3 other guys could be so fun"

THANKS YU HENG.

2008-06-09T20:33:00.002+08:00

I miss sparring all of a sudden.
I miss the ass-kicking sessions I had with my buds back then.
It was such a nice way to cool off and just get rid of the stress
and all that jazz.
Perhaps the reason we decided that taking each other on was the
fact we all were studying 'The Outsiders' for our literature."
That was where it all started.
There are plenty of nice quotes from the book and the movie as well.
Sort of motivated us.
"There's nothing like skin fighting, to cool off"
I think the line was something like that.
*runs to find book*

Unfortunately, now, the only healthy stress relief for me,
is really vigourous sports, which I don't get much of in the
first place. Running and doing a thousand push-ups just
won't be enough.

Oddly enough.
This post comes at a time when I'm kinda relaxed.
Though I did observe that I'm making a bit of a fuss for
the Nursing Management individual assignment and also
for FYP
A little too early?
Who cares.
I'm almost done.

PHOTO OF THE DAY
"what about YOU man?"

2008-06-07T21:55:00.004+08:00

I like the following photo very much.
Very recent of course.
This escalator shot shall be called, "The Wes".
It's inspired by my good friend, Wesley, naturally.
It's so easy to use the escalator to make such an
expressive photo.
Well, not everyone can see what I mean by expressiveness,
but as long as I do, then it's fine.

And there you go.
Hello Wesley!
=)

2008-06-06T23:32:00.001+08:00

Popeye's Good.
T3 Good.
Sights Good.
Traffic Woah.

I'm dreading Nursing Science 5 tomorrow!
Thankfully, I got more than my fair share
of destressing today.

Spent the time after NSL Paper, at Clubhouse.
Talking.
Guitar.
Viwawa.
And the best part.
Pumping Poker!
I had to do a total of 500 pushups.
FIVE HUNDRED.
I couldn't do crunches and jumping jacks
cause my abs are still destroyed.
But I was damn high just now.
Excellent.
Five hundred pushups.
*Pats myself on back*

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

Had a weirdly hilarious session of smses with Shujuan.
Started with me sitting on her.
Ends up with me having head trauma, no more eyes, and a punched groin.
And her with...
Well.
No matter what I did to her.

Though at the end of the day, she was ruling the world apparently.

Crazy stuff.

2008-06-01T20:06:00.002+08:00

Sobs.
Anybody?
Please.
I want.

HAHA

2008-05-31T21:45:00.001+08:00

A heavy sucker punch eh?
In a nice way.

2008-05-31T09:48:00.002+08:00

Reading through my previous post,
I'm kinda surprised how angry I can
get at something that hasn't yet happened.
I wonder what I would have done, if I did
really have the injury.

Well.
I don't.
It's a really painful ligament pull.
And I tore my lower ab muscles.
I was looking at a few weeks out of action.
But doc says a week should do it.

Heh.
Pinnacle.
Is on.
I'll only accept 1st or 2nd placing.
Muahah.
