Time?
It feels as thought all these has never happened. I feel as thought i hv just met Reuben in the gym and even trained with him. He has always been a source of motivation. A tall and well built guy, definitely threatening, esp if u r new to the gym. But after knowing him, u will realise he is like a gentle giant. He was someone who has dreams and really inspiring. I would remember him, motivating me each time after trg, in various ways to make sure i push hard in trg and not neglect my studies. He was also very protective, being new and young to the sport. He always tell me not to give up and train hard like a 'ninja'(His fav phrase, probably his obsession with his ps3 games). Thought a year has passed, the service made me realise that it is so difficult to let go, all the brilliant hair cuts he has given, the motivating speeches and his smile that is in every pic. These are memories that will never be forgotten.
As the saying goes, time heals all wounds, does it? Or does it make it hurts more?

It's over?!?
A's was not as perfect as expected, did made a few fumbles here and there. What's done is done, just move on. Just hope that everything is gonna be fine. Found the inner spirit in me and i believe it is time i need to do a lot of stuff after A's.
I really wish i hv the courage to move on and do a lot of things. Well, just like the bucket list ( I am not dying!), i gotta make a list of to do's soon, before i enlist and striking them out one by one. Haix. Just hope the most impt one will be a big FAT TICK!!

Sent Terrance off last night. And indeed he cried. Haha. It's sad, now that i hv no more gym buddy and gyming alone once again. But i am glad he is gg off to further his studies. Hope to meet him soon nxt yr, if he still remembers his frenz. Haha.
Off to mugging again. Argh!

Bitch!
Failing and falling once and again. My life is really full of ups and downs. I need more ups. Looking at some photos really drives the anger in me. I must learn to control my emotions. Just like the Jedis. I must not let emotions interfer in my affair. Lol. (Hardcore fan of Star Wars) Haha. Pity i cant be like the Sith. Haha.

"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."Yoda
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you." Yoda
I must conquer the fear and move on. Believing in myself. Thought the dark side is tempting, but i know i mus follow the right path for now. Haha. It is studying and studying. Till the end of A's. Haix. I hope something good comes into my life soon.
Yoda my idol!

EMO!!!
Mason Cooley, O magazine 2004
What is there to regret when you realise that all the efforts you put in have come back to zero. Just like the unstable economy that struck the World a few days ago. People's hard earned money and all the investment and hopes they have, shattered in a spilt second.
If i continued to blame myself, blame those around me, blame my surroundings and blaming everything. It is just wasting more time. Picking myself up and keep fighting, that is the best solution.
Met up with Paul and Dexter on Saturday and we went to have lunch together. I realised that i have been finding excuses, been finding reasons to escape reality. Probably the reason i am not doing well now is not that i can't do it and i desperately need tuition. Probably i do, but that maybe not be the solution.
I realise 2 things that i need the most after talking to Paul and Dex, "Focus" and "Belief". Focusing on what you are studying and concentrating on whatever you are learning, will help me save more time than waste them. "Belief" is when you believe in what you are doing is right and never give up. This is what that brings results.
"The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot." Michael Altshuler
Time is someting that i am able to control. Time does not wait, time does not stop, time keeps moving and it is how fast i move so that i am not left behind. I was shocked that Terrance is leaving next Wednesday. Time really flies! Meeting him was a blessing and i am glad i have met such a good buddy. He must be feeling frustrated and confused. Being excited about going to UK to study and not being able to let go of all his friends in here.
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." Mark Twain
I am scared of the exams, scared of being a signle person, scared of not doing well, I fee like a coward and a loser at times. I thank my family and my good friends around me for encouraging me and motivating me. Finding solutions to problems can only be done, if i am ready to face it directly. The courage to face it, fighting my fears, has to be done by myself and solved by myself. This is life and it is only going to get worse as i grow older. Sitting in the MRT today, i looked around and i realised how life is going to be like. Treasure the times that i have, it is not going to comeback nor is it going to wait. Face the challenges one by one. I am ready to move on to the next step. This is for Terrance, my good buddy:
"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." Lao-Tsu
All the best for your studies in UK. Thought it is a new beginning, a start of Uni life, don't forget your friends here, in Singapore.

Gotta eat less and save more. I need a miracle.

Scarcity
Gosh. So many things i wan and so limited capital. Economics problem on scarcity really applies to me. Haha. Iphone, new pair of sunglasses, a new wallet, havanas... So many. Argh! Plus prom is coming, i gotta really start saving man. HAiX.
So many weird things happened today. Woke up late, stone and watch tv. Hit the gym before gg over to study at SOT wif Carol, Ivy and Ruo lin. Did some work dere and recap phy a bit wif Carol. Quite pissed off. Dad is really muddle headed when it comes to handling stuff and really makes me damn mad. Temper is quite bad lately. Stress always make me hard to control the anger. Haix...
I need a job after A's man. And not one, i guess a few. Lol... And i need to stop sighing...

Criticism
Don't mind criticism. If it is untrue, disregard it; if unfair, keep from irrtation; if it is ignorant, smile; if it is justified, it is not criticism - learn from it.
Clones!
I need more courage. =)
Went supper wif Nigel, Cedric and Daniel. Nigel asked me a real good question. Why i say i wanna do business? Actually, he's right. I don't really know. Actually i tot i know a lot, but i realise i don't. I am confused and unsure. I need a direction. I need a light to show me my path.
Probably they are all guiding me. The supper wif them i learnt a lot. Like a ninja in secret training. I need to do what i must and at the same time, find a direction. The signs are slowly directing me towards the correct path. It's jus up to me and see if i am taking the path of my choice.
I need to focus and doing it badly. Handling the A's is now the no.1 piority. 'U mus do what u like!' and i really enjoy challenges. Thought it is tough doing it alone. But i will get thru it.

I really gotta make some time meet up wif PH this wk and study wif him. Do some catching up wif him. Really wish i could sit at StarBucks, enjoy the coffee and maybe some snacks. Haix. But gotta add in the mugging. ONli bout 90 days or so left. Motivation is raging.

Found a good place to study. Furthermore, it has bus for me to go home. I guess iam gonna study late at novena. Gd atmosphere to study in. Back to studyin once more, no time to loss.

Serious
Yup. Why so serious? Really gotta applaud that joker act was the best in this Batman movie 'Dark Night'. He was able to show a different type of joker that will stay rooted in the viewer's minds for many days. I will really give him 4.5 out of 5 for his brillant act.
Learnt something new today. Think i am beginning to understand and know things more after clearing my doubts. Mr Tong's Speedboat vs Cruise Ship really let me think quite a bit. Thought i hvn't gotten an answer, it brought me a new view to the whole picture. I am glad i asked.
Really hope the answer dawn upon me soon. Really need a haircut, hair is in a mess. Friday meet the parents, veri sian. And so many things i need, ipod touch and a new wallet, i really need a miracle or a gd fairy godma. Gotta go focus on my study. My life till A's will jus be mug, train, sleep and eat. Maybe could squeeze in some time for 1 or 2 movies and maybe some shop ard tt's all. Other than tt, it is MUG MUG MUG! Cos i am serious!

'There is no place like home.'
Familiar phrase. Gotta agree wif the phrase. No place like home. I am beginning to learn how to appreciate it.
Ok. Tt's jus something random. Sometimes i am jus so confused and don noe wad i am thinking of. Like now, i am really confused. Took some time off to be alone. Jus totally alone. ( i am serious) And i guess it's not tt bad, like how my mom mentioned it. At least u don hv to wait and jus do whatever u wan to do. Only person answerin to is jus yourself.
I think this time off alone thingy is gd. Maybe shall include it sometime in every month. Now i gotta freshen up and back to the books. Argh! Cant wait fer A's to end. I need a break.
Friday, July 18, 2008
X_X
Oh well, stayin at home gives me the opportunity to catch up on my work. Since all the suay-ness for this wk has ended, hope the gd luck starts pourin in nxt wk.
Argh! They didn't approve my application. Luckily, the other one has been approved. Oh well, this gives me a reason to spend less. I guess i should. I need a new wallet. Better look out for one soon... Back to work.

Ninja!
Met Jia Bin fer tuition jus now. He was nice to give me tuition for maths and chem every wk. At least now, i hv someone to guide me thru my maths and wont get stuck for hours not knowing what to do.
I am so gonna get Cedric for what he did to me in gym today. Haha. Met some SA girl that used to take bus from same bus stop as me everyday. Too bad, she graduated and she came gym today. Went up to ask her if she know my friend. And tt spark off Cedric and his big mouth! He is gonna get it from me. Lol.
Read a small portion of a book. I come to realise that ' Successful people are not talented.It is what drives me to the success.' Well, I got my license, so success here i come. Like a secret ninja, i am in trg!

_|_
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong. 6 weeks left. Deadlines seem to get closer and i better speed up. More focused now, gym and study.
I need to train hard and study hard. Mr Tong's lesson today was great. Nth more to say, gtg pack up and catch some sleep. Luckily tmr is a short day.
Cant seem to stop getting the song by Timbaland and Ne Yo out of my head. Lol

>_<
First i went down to cox fer the juniors after a long time been away from dragonboating. Then i gotta realise that the currents today were exceptionally strong.
It really reminded me of the days where Reu was ard and he would somehow go out there and face the danger. Face his fears and emerge out as a brave warrior that had conquered his fear. Unlike him, i was a bit coward.
I went out there, did my best, at alas my worst fear came true. The last race, which i don understand how they had made it to the Tai Finals, i crashed and cause the DQ. The opponent boat had already eaten to my lane before the race even started, to avoid i sorta overturned the boat and ate to the first lane, before cutting back to my lane like some Initial D movie.
What made things worse was the stupid officials had to criticise me. The feelings really sucks. I agree i shopuld get a coxing cert. and part of the incident was my fault. I am a no experience coxer. I learnt my coxing from the Nteam and SAFSA mates, Ah Hee and my brilliant frens, Reu and Chee. I practised it every trg and every opportunity. I even trained other teams and u claim i am of no standards. Fucking officals have no brains at all. If it wasn't for the exams, i would still be training hard in nteam and SAFSA or Mountbatten.
Sometimes it sucks, but I always believe that what goes around comes around. Gotta be the change that you want to see in people, even if it sucks. I think I'll just sleep.
Sales are still going on. I still need my boxes from Zara and maybe could grab some stuff for topman. Sianx. I am suppose to save money and get my haircut nxt wk.
I need a miracle.

Tired!!
Forced myself to go fer a jog before gg out to meet the guys. Watched 'HellBoy 2' today. Wasn't veri impressed with the movie thought. Felt like it was combination of LOTR, Jay Chou's Golden Armour and bit of Narnia and Matrix. Lol. Every movie produced nowadays all seem to look the same. Not impressive at all. As thought the movies are jus created with the same ideas and concepts, but with different characters onli.
Guess it is not worth my money watching these movies. Better use the time to study instead. I need to make myself more productive tmr. Finding more bout the economies in the 1990s has took quite some time. I need to start mugging soon..

Education?
It started on my gp lecture day. The topic was education. I was already veri sian wif my new time- table and all the work that i hv to complete jus 2 days after exams. The lecture on education was not jus on the topic education, it had the elements of reality in it. It made me think real hard. A question was asked "How would you like to be remembered when u die?" and another was "Do you think you will feel u hv succeeded if u died tmr?" One thing came to mine, the Dragonboat Tragedy. I realised that i hv succeeded in a way or another if i really had to die tmr, at least i hv spent a lot more times wif family and friends compared to how i was like previously. I hv learnt to treasure everything i hv and value everything ard me. I believe i hv reach quite a few check points on my journey thru life. Like wad they say, a successful journey really depends on whether we reach the final destination we wanted to get to in the first place. It has taught me to fight harder for my goals and my goals are wad i really love, wad i really want. Mid yrs result will not be tt gd i noe it fer myself. It is a failure, as i noe i did not put in the hard work and effort that i should hv. The lecturer said "Failure can refine you. Don't let it define you." I hv now found the meaning and the reason to study hard for prelims. With them in mind, i am a step closer towards both my short and long term goals.
I went for J1's dragonboat trg, which is my 'grand- juniors'. Lol. Met a few Nteam mates, laughing at my fair skin. At least my muscles are still there. Haha. Somehow juniors all don dare to talk to me. Talked to CJ and i am glad he chose to do what he likes and not forcing himself to do things he don like. I believe if u play to your natural strength, stick to the stuff you love, more and more will follow. He also said the same to me. It's great meeting them. The more reason y i hv avoided Kallang. Meeting Ah Hee and all the nteam mates, makes it difficult for me to let go of dragonboating. Like what Kingley say" Study hard! U can always dragonboat after ur exams." I cant wait for the day my A's end and i can go back and train with them. And even help Ah Hee wif the junior's trg.
Today i met Cedric, had lunch wif him. HE motivated me and ask me to find the meaning for everything i do. He said that once u find the meaning of things u wanna do, the things jus become easier and easier and u will realise it is never boring to do them. U will enjoy wadever you are doing and overcome them easily with no fear at all. I tot hard and i hv learnt a great deal frm him today. Haha. Got my printer at last and decided to blog out this meaningful entry so that i wont forget it. Gotta go bath and complete my work.

Shrinking!!!!
Met Cedric and Daniel on fri nite. Been long time since i seen them and Cedirc once again appeared wif something funny. Haha. It's pretty awesome to meet time. Like what he says " Bishan gym has a home feeling". I gotta agree, it's the place where many things has happened, a place that has truly changed me.
I guess after toking to them and seeing Nigel aka The Hulk back, i am really motivated to mug. They are really truly motivations like how Reu was a motivation. I cant wait fer mid yrs to end. The exams are really burning me out. Gotta go back ta mugging. Hope i can keep this blog gg after my exams.

When the end of the journey seems impossible to reach, remember that all you need to do is take one more step. Stay focused on your goal and remember... each small step will bring you a little closer.
When the road becomes hard to travel and it feels as if you'll never reach the end... look deep inside your heart and you will find strength you never had.
I haven't blog fer a long long time. Probably i was lazy and i jus didn't feel like writing. I was mentally blocked, mid yrs coming and i jus didn't hv much mood to write. Furthermore, my addiction to soccer all of a sudden has become part of the reason. Haha. Guess Euro was not what i had expected.
Back to topic, I was cleaning up my drawers when i found all the cards she written to me. She did write a lot to me. Probably i was still too immature i guess, i barely took the time to read all the cards. The effort that she took to write, the heart and soul she has put in to do it. My heart sank as i continued reading. I have to admit i do miss her. I do regret not treasuring the times tgt with her. She did make many efforts to show how she cared for me. I wonder how it felt for her when we both decided to break up. The broke up did strengthen my mental and taught me to be independent and to grow stronger.
She did have her flaws, she was easily influenced and has no decisions bout anything at all. Makes me pretty mad at times. But her silent caring ways and her soft hearted and gentleness covered her flaws and this made me harder for me to let go. I keep claiming i hv let go and moved on, but i nv did. I was only lookin for a substitute and trying to find another her. Maybe she moved on, found someone better and hv forgotten bout me. Probably that is the reason, but deep down inside i hope it's not the reason, i believe it is another.
Life is unfair sometimes i guess. But tt does not stop me from making dreams come true. I got a lot of dreams and each one are very sweet. Like how hardworking the bees are harvesting honey, i will work hard and soon dreams will become reality. But some sweet dreams are too far to be reached, maybe i jus gotta do what the quote says. Look deep inside my heart and find the strenght i never knew i had...

Dreams
Or that is wad i used to believe. Until i met Reu, Nigel, Cedric and many more that i cant name. I came to realise this. Dreams are sweet, everyone has them. But they can come true and the sweet things that appear in ur dreams will become ur reality, maybe not exactly the way u dream of it. They will come to 'life', when u hv taken actions to make these dreams of urs come true. I hv to agree, when u hv taken serious actions dreams do come true. Like how i wish to be part of SAFSA and Nteam, my tough and strainous training paid off. I was able to make my dreams come true. And many of them did it, which is y i am so motivated all of asudden. I realised that i hv dreams that i desire so much and for it to happen, i am gonna take actions and serious actions. I hv place my passion aside, but it does not end there. My dreams of going to uni has sparked off a motivated me. Study, eat, sleep and gym, these are gg to be the nxt phase of these yr till the A's are over.
Drifting off, i msg her. As expected, i knew she would ignore. I did take actions, to still be frenz. But since u made it clear, i knew it well. Terrance tell me, y would i go find the misery again. Tt's true, there are better ones out there. Maybe wad Bran say was true, thought it is a bit 'noob' i guess. 'It's hard to let go.' I know of some who jus cant let go, but i think i gotta. Maybe her thinkings are still as shaky as how it was like. I don noe. Wad i noe is that i hv matured. I hv moved on wif life and hving a gd future ahead. I hv dreams that i noe is gonna come true and when it does, i am glad i hv so many gd frenz ard tt helped me.

Miss
Been trying hard to study after SPA, gotta find ways to focus once more. I really feel quite emotional these few days, over things i see and even in my dreams. Lol. Sometimes i really feel veri lousy. I really miss Reu and Chee sometimes. They used to be my motivators and now they have left, things hv become so different. Changes are gd, but not all of them are pleasant. I miss rowing, each time as i see the nteam boat passby. This thought always hit me, i should be in there. Fortunately, I am glad i met some gd pals in the gym, giving me gd advice and i know i mus focus and study hard.
It's only half a year left, like how Reu tried to make the World a better place through his music. I wanna study hard and really inspired to be as successful as him. Like what he always tell me," Dont be nua!"
When I Get There
This may sound crazy
It probably is
but could you tell me where
true love is
Just point me in the right direction
i swear i wont make a sound
i'm looking for a neon sign
it's what i haven't found
they say it's gone south
where all the good things go
you'll see the flashing lights
and you know you are home
And there's no fancy name for it
No one knows who the Aphrodite is
It's only rain and rainbows
and the promise of bliss
But when i get there
It just is
I believe in love
but it's probably not for me
romance, the chase, the attractive engima
it's not me
I thought i was there before
but my heart got broken you see
I heard it's not easy
but you'll know you're home
And there's no fancy name for it
No one knows who the Aphrodite is
it's only rain and rainbows
and the promis of bliss
But when i get there
it just is
All these questions
I gotta ask before i go
If i'll never find it
will you let me know?
And there's no fancy name for it
No one knows who the Aphrodite is
It's only rain and rainbows
and the promise of bliss
But when i get there
It's just is

SPA?!?
Gym in sch today, cant believe my strength is improving. Gotta rush a bit later, going to meet Po Han fer dinner tonight. Even he is busy, quite sian he is going overseas sia. Well goot a concentrate fer mid years now. Haix. Time to push like how i did fer SPA. Really mixed feelings now. I think i need to start using the right head, like wad Terrance says. Sometimes lonliness jus drive me insane. Lol.

Feeling or Fate?
It is really tough, but actually it's quite great being able to go thru so many stuff alone. Thought the feelings sux sometimes. Haha. The comment is jus so random. Smetimes i really wonder does she like me or is it jus a waste of time to wait. The emotions really sux. I really miss a lot of ppl. Sometimes i wonder is this a trial fer me to finish my this veri important year and grow to be a mentally stronger person. I can feel each day i am growing mentally stronger and closer to my parents. Maybe, it is their blessings fer me to do so. To learn the importance of my family.
Yesterday lecture, the recordings didn't work. Carol was rite. Haha. Oh well, doesn't matter, jus means i gotta ask the lecturer to help me record. Shall note this down. Haha. There was this frequent stares and i wonder wad it really means. Heard the frequent 'stare' person was here fer Master's. Sadly, i couldn't wake up or actually lazy to wake up. Haha. I was really hit hard by Terrance's words and i agree wif him. Sometimes wad he says is really right. If fate is there or if u really hv the feelings, we will meet again.
I shall try and keep this blog update during the holidays. A place fer me to destress. Now is back to SPA. I really hope it's both feelings and fate. But wad is the probabilty of tt?

Memories
Walked the usual route to Reu's house and had a really great chat wif uncle Freddie and Auntie Patsy. The more i chat, the more i realise how long he has left us. This really motivates me to really work hard and study hard to be the 'perfect' son tt every parents hope their child to be. And Reu has definitely become a role model for everyone. His music would live on and his memories will always stay rooted in my heart.
Reu say: 'Don't be nua!'
YiHe say: 'I wont and i NEVER will.'
Hope u can hear me dude. I will work hard and reach fer my goals. And thanks fer the muscle milk and the name tag, it will be something i will treasure dearly.

Family
While doing my work, this weird dream struck. (Ok, i am not focusing. Lol.) But this dream really shed some light to me. Let me discover the reason of everything. I realise what really makes a team strong. Actually it is not purely abt fitness. I hv to agree that fitness is part of it. But i realised one thing. It is tt every strong team, they hv found a 'home'. It does not mean i am ur dragonboat teammates and tt's it. It is something deeper. It is more than a friendship. It's as thought we hv become a family.
While training in SAFSA, i hv understand the true meaning of a team. Training tgt and taking care of each other. Each time, i see the members caring fer each other. Working tgt and taking care of one another. I come to realise tt team spirit is the most impt. No matter how much we clique wif our frenz, but in the end, we still come tgt as one. We still protect each other and take care of each other. It is onli thru this bond that a team grows and a team excels.
I understand y i nv stood in after my team left. It is the same as my family has left. And this 'family' bonding. I hv not seen in the nxt batch. I noe y i could not resist wanting to join Mountbatten. And how badly i missed rowing wif my SAFSA batch. It is because they r 'family'

Flu?!
Been moody lately. Maybe because of the weather or because i am jus too tired. Better control my temper soon before it really pisses others and me off. Really remembered how bad my temper used to be. And wad made me change my temper. I really miss a lot of things. Guess i am really getting old. Haha. A lot of things has happened to me in the past year. And seriously my life has tremendously changed. I am proud to say that i am discovered my passion and what i am truly working hard for. Realise what i wan to achieve in the future. And mature in my thoughts. I even did things that i would not hv done in the past and even met ppl that i nvr knew i would meet. I guess the change was really needed. I wonder how things would be like if some of the events didn't happen...
I guess remembering the past is impt. But i believe it's time for me to look forward and move on. There are more impt things. More piorities to be set and i am all geared up ready to go. I am ready to come back stronger. It's a choice i hv made. [Hey Ninja, hope u see this. And i hv no regrets]

I wish...
I guess after today i really wish i had done many diff things. To some extent some things i hv done. I really felt great and glorious. But there r also regrets i hv made. This is life i guess. U gain some and yes, u gotta lose some. I am all prepared fer it. I am ready to pursue my dreams. Like wad Reu said. It's ur choice. Yes, i agree. My choice, either i do it or not. There is no in btw. I believe i will and i mus. Pressure is building i noe. But i hv been fighting an uphill battle fer my passion. And the 2nd uphill battle that i am gonna face, i am ready fer it.
After today's PA race. Thoughts start flooding into me. It really spur me to really let it all out. There r so many things i wish. If i had not seen 'her' in tt kayaking team in tt sch. It wouldn't hv made me think so much.( Fer info, i do not know the 'her' at all. She onli resemble someone. Lol) Seeing mountbatten training so hard and NJC. Really let's me think. So many thoughts flooding in. Really gives me a headache. Argh!
I guess wad is impt is to jus get 2 things done: that is Studies and register fer my Medical Check Up. Lol. Still a bit blur after celebrating Pala and Porky bday. Glad they enjoyed themselves.

Gold Day
I gotta admit that maybe repeating has really brought many changes into my lives. Happy and sad ones at the same time. I believe tt it was a gd choice and many great things has happened. One great thing was being in 0711. My class has really brought loads of joy into my life. Esp the guys and the three crazy gurls of my class. Haha. They r my greatest buddies tt i hv ever met. Always so steady and ready. And also bringing my passion to a new lvl and meeting many new gd frenz at the same time.
Went to RP after sch to take pics with Nicholas a.k.a the GOLDMAN. Haha. He was painted GOLD. And he looked damn cool. Gotta go do my work soon. I am really sick. Think i taking MC tmr. Argh!

Busy
Went to trg at Bedok Resevoir fer Bedok Puggol CSC. Quite impressed that they did pretty well. Actually enjoyed myself in their trg. Even thought it is not de usual pusing one to its limits and the muscles burning feeling. But it was quite fun trg with them and it feels pretty gd.
I really need to relax a bit. But the problem is there is no time.

April Fool
I am pretty sure i am veri down, lonely and stressed up at this moment. Like wad he said," U mus be proud of wad u're doin and get ur own style." I realised that without him as a role model or guide, i am becoming nua again. Wtf. The wake up call, let me think, think real hard. I need to find my style of doing things and not blindly follow or get pushed ard. Like wad Cedric said to me, " I mus pick myself up frm the bottom and fight my way up."
I am motivated, fired up once agin. It's been long since i hv found this feeling. I am gonna give in my best, so that i am conquer the challenges, leap over all obstacles. Bro, ur presence in my heart has really woke me up. The woke up call that i hv long waiting is back. I am gonna rebuild myself once more. From today on, the 'old' 'motivated' me is back.
It's pretty weird, since it's quite long since i really blog. Gotta pour out most of my sorrows here. Emotions come and go veri often. And it is one particular one that makes me veri moody. Been hving weird dreams lately. Dreams tt really make me feel that the lonliness is killing me. Fuck! I feel like some nua piece of ****.
I wonder, how i could survive thru my sec 4 and j1 days. My turning pt had got to be last yr. And it totally change my perspective to everything. Some said that i hv matured, some said that it is jus the ppl u mix wif. I guess it is all Bullshit. I believe it is because it really hurts me a lot. And i hv no mood to recover frm this hurt. Or the one tt i had believe was the 'untouchable' , is still the one i am waiting for and thinking if she even noe i am waiting. Sometimes, some jus come and go. I really hope this emotions pass off soon. Or God really has something plan or Fate has already prepare a short treat. Jus wish that this is over with soon.
It is time to bring back an old quote:
"Let me tell you something you already know.The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.How much you can take, and keep moving forward.That's how winning is done.
Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that and that ain't you.
You're better than that!"

Wake Up Call
Friday, March 7, 2008
So it is set then!
I hv realised today that some things once u passed it, no matter how badly or how hard u regret. Time is nv gonna turn back and wait fer u to make the changes. I gotta treasure every moment i hv now, fully utilise them and make full use of it.It is no use wasting the time and regret it at the end of the day. Maybe dere r things i like to do, i believe wad Cedric and even Terrance has been telling me. 'If u r able to plan ur time properly, focus in wadever u do. There is nth unachieveable. U gotta work hard towards ur goal.' I wan to be like them and actually i did. I did work hard b4 and hv indeed reqached my goals.
My dreams and goals r set. To be in the top, to make the best out of everyhting. I will not be left behind, because i believe i can. The trials ahead and the hurdles ahead will jus be obstacles i know i can pull thru. I am not alone, i hv many ppl ard supporting me. I blieve i can and i will. After thinking thru today and seeing wad i hv seen, I hv got my motivation. Now it is fer me to find the other 2. It wont be tt hard, as the sight of today will be deeply rooted in my mind. And my goals will always be insight.

Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year was really busy. Visiting different houses everyday. Got a really bad headache on the first day. 2nd day was better. But i was too busy to even do some trg. Went out to chill wif classmates on 2nd day of CNY nite. Been so long since we went out tgt. We met at bout 10 plus and went to drink at Candy Bar in Clark Quay. I guess we really drank too much that some of them began sprouting and doin all sorts of stupid acts. Lol.
Went out wif James and Wei Ji on the 3rd day. Also met up wif Nicholas Loo and 'New Friend'. Headed down to airport to send Jana off. The whole holiday really ended veri fast. Haix. How i wish this holiday could last longer.

Been doing lots of new year shopping lately and spending a lot. Argh! Haha. Really gotta watch myself. Got lots of new clothings and been working out. Time trial is coming, it is going to show where i stand and i am quite worried. Guess i gotta train hard and mug hard. Been slacking a lot lately. Better buck up during this CNY period.

Inspiration
I could remember how weak and new to the sport. Yes, i would agree if anyone comes up and tell me now that dragonboat is a team sport. Precisely, because it is a team sport. It makes things even more competitive. It either strengthen you or break you. Firstly, u hv to compete wif all ur teammates. Or u hv to train hard to make sure u do not lose out to them. Secondly, u got to train hard as a team to compete wif other teams. Thirdly, u hv to compete wif fatigue and time, so that u r able to do all ur work. The level of competition in this sport is practically everything and anything. And it is this, tt brought me to wad and hu i am now. I am not gg to let myself down, because i believe in wad Cedric says. U mus love wad u do, no matter how stress or tough, if u wan ot badly, u can do it.
Met a new fren at gym today. And coincidentally, he's Justin's gd fren. Wad a small world. Begin to enjoy training at Bishan gym and meeting all the new frenz. I am really motivated.

I HaTe Phy
Went to gym today and met Justin after such a long time. He looks different. Shagged and not as tough looking as before. He said he is injured, probably, i really miss the old confident and self motivated him. He told me nteam time trial will be nxt month and i really hope to c him dere, recovered and back to his old self. Seeing him reminds me of Reu.
I really think i should consider hard abt joining nteam. There is no harm going fer the time trial. But commitment in the team is another question. Mom keeps reminding me bout A's this yr and everyone else too. I really need an enlightenment and an answer. I guess i am really nua now without you acting as a motivating role model.

Jus So Random
Gym today at Bishan. Met Daniel and Cedric. Sorta rush thru my workout, time is really a major factor when sch reopens and this really sucks! But i am enjoying the busy schedule and the stress, even though i keep saying i hate it. It is actually keeping me busy and not think so much. It was productive studying with Cedric, he jus keeps asking to study and wont talk to you. And just by looking at him study really motivates you to study too. I think i must really study with him more often.
I think i really need to take one step at a time. The way i am progressing now is quite productive. I guess Cedric advice maybe right, i should really plan my time well and focus on my studies. I believe i can do it. I think there is no point in rushing into anything now. Jus gotta do what is the most impt now and leave those not so impt stuff aside first. Argh. I need a break! This emoing is killing me. Haha.

Surprise
At Reu's House
Rush down to Yvonne's house after that. Kai Shuo almost spoil the whole surprise by calling her. Nevertheless, we still manage to surprise her. Got quite a shocked when she suddenly cried. Haha. Overall, guess the surprise party really turned out fine. The food was also veri nice. Sang a lot of Bday songs and the cake was veri delicious. It mus be a really memorable day fer her. Really wish my Bday would be like this.

farewell
Sucks!!!
As expected, i could predict how things r turning out to be in NYJC. Luckily i escaped the grasp of being an athlete in the sch tt will nv be recognised. So much fer training beyond the limits fer the sch. I guess one day, all sports athletes will disappear and all tt is left will jus be another Arts sch. Haix. Really let's ppl think where the effort is gg.
I really need a NEW time table. One with more breaks or early dissmal.

Down
Talking to her really makes me both sad and angry. But it's been over so long. Clearly, she has really moved on. Telling me to do it too. It looks so easy and seeing her moving on gives me mixed feelings. But it looks so difficult fer me. I hv more things bothering me both mentally and physically. I really hope tt the one appearing in my dreams would feel the same too. Then maybe fer once, i can believe in wad she say.
I need to WAKE UP.

Meaningful
"So how long hv u rowed?"
"Bout 3 yrs?"
"Not tired of it?"
"..."
Been chatting with Daniel today. He went to gym at the same time as me. The red lines r wad he said. It really makes me think. This yr is really tough, with all the exams and all the lessons ending veri late. But this does not hinder me from continuing my passion. I hv given up a lot of things fer this passion and i am not willing to give up now. But the promises and resolutions i hv made this yr. Ib elieve i really gotta think twice. Haix. I really gotta think thru it.
Training has been productive and studyin too. But tireness is surfacing and it is really killing me. Really gotta rest well this wkend. I really agree with wad Daniel said today.
"It is all about wad u really want. If u dont know wad u wan, then u got to do something tt u think is realistic to u in the future."
"It's not about what other people can think or do. It's all about what u can do."
I am really glad to hv heard all these from him. Really been great chatting with him. The first wk of this new year has been great. I believe that the rest of the year will be a great one too.
