Individualist

A preference to work alone doesn't come voluntarily for me. It just seems like a natural behaviour.

No worries of anyone cocking up. All ideas are open and dependent on a single person. No need the hassle of thinking twice, hence no need for higher intelligence. You make the right decisions, or the wrong ones, and all blame is entirely place on you. Leading to the absence of unfairness.

 However, one man can't do every single thing on his own. He still need those chess pieces to serve the higher purposes.

What is even worse is one man against an entire army. I cannot fathom such behaviour. It just shows how one man can stir up such fickle-minded people. Moreover, how these people are plentiful. For I thought people use their brains often. Maybe, its not worth the thought in the first place.


Playing mind games is tiring. As well as a waste of time. No man should be made to do things unnecessarily.

People these days, just think for themselves all too often. To reach that ultimate goal, we need back up. We need to find it somehow.

Important Little Details

They are the small little things that we normally put aside as utter crap. But for the ingenious man, it is these small little things that affect the bigger picture. Though, he may be driven to the state of insanity. However, insanity or for a more subtle word, obsession, grants him immaculate powers that only he can conjure with control. And that control may be lost with a simple mistake or miscalculation. Hence, he must give his best attention.

For those not grammatically intellect in the language of English, you may have missed the grammatical error of putting to similar adjectives together. Which is, 'small little' things! That itself already says whether you are the kind that pays to the small details or not.

Lastly, there may be more grammatical errors in the first paragraph. I intended it to be that way for you to think.

Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare. - Harriet Martineau (1802 - 1876)

Coming of Age

The new year is coming soon and I'm starting to feel a year older already. For the past 19 years, time had flew passed too fast. We sometimes lay and wonder, what have we done with our lives.

As I put myself in that scenario, I want to have see myself smiling for all the adventures experienced, and to have manage to pull through life ups and downs. To live that fulfilling life that I always dream of. And most definitely, to have shared that experiences with someone I truly adore.

Life is short. Hence, it is important that we live our life as if there was no tomorrow, as if each moment we breathe was like our breath was taken away by the magnificent beauty of the world. Dreams are there to motivate us and inspire us. These fantasies, they manifest through our heart and make us hope. They capture our mind and push us to the limit. The temptations of it all could not be resist.

Flight. It gives me a sense of freedom to express my free will. I will feel like I was on top of the world. Imagine. As you move fast high above the sky, the sight & sound of the vast landscapes gives you the euphoria similar to that in the heavens. For these are just vague expressions of what dreams have come on to me, I clearly cannot put it into words.

Life is beautiful. Just not always.

The Question is......

What are you not doing at this moment?

Engineers

An intellectual engineer can pioneer anything with his capabilities and put it under his control. He can even make the world fall under his feet or fear him.

To reach that vision, one of his most important attributes was to always have backup for every single thing he creates. Hence, a great foresight follows suit. And the rest..............is something you should now think of.

Fever

Definition:
Fever is part of our body's defense mechanism. When our bodies are fighting infections, our body temperature rises.

Symptoms:
Chills, aching everywhere, listlessness, elevated body temperature on the thermometer, red cheeks, and feeling hot or cold, shaking. The body basically shivers and has chills when the fever is rising, especially rapidly and sweats when the fever is dropping, or breaking, as some say.

Causes:
Our blood and lymphatic systems produce white blood cells which are what fight off infection. As our white blood cells increase in number, like an army to fight the germs, they go faster and faster attacking the germs, this causes our bodies to heat up, thus causing the fever or rise in body temperature. The hypothalamus in the brain, which is the body's heat regulating mechanism is affected by the pyrogens, or the white blood cells that are produced to fight the infection. So, in effect, we can say that the fever is what is fighting the infection. That is why it is not good to try to bring down a fever too much or too fast.

Measures of Prevention:
Some comfort measures for someone with a fever include fever-reducing medications, cool wet rag on the head, cover in light blanket (heavy blankets actually trap the heat), avoid taking hot baths, this will only increase your temperature, drink plenty of fluids, especially clear cool liquids such as water and fruit juice to prevent dehydration, if the fever is high, you may give a light sponge bath using tepid water only, not cool or cold water, and no alcohol! Keep the person covered with a towel as not to get a chill. An infant or small child with a high fever can dehydrate very quickly, especially if they are losing fluids some other way, as well, such as diarrhea or vomiting. If they are not vomiting, give them as much liquid as they can tolerate to prevent dehydration. There are specially formulated liquids on the market for replenishing the body and maintaining electrolyte balance.

An Oversight

I realise you can be on your top form mentally when you put full focus on just a single matter. So what matters now is my studies. Thus, I have become unstoppable! Psyched ah!

Though climbing do matters, it won't bring food on the table. So think far my friends, or live in regret.

The Intent

For some people, they are just too afraid of what is unpredictable.

Note to self: Never make the same mistake again.

The Prophecy (Poem)

This is a self-proclaim prophecy,
To rekindle the strong heart,
And stand out from the rest.

It is something I must do,
For I am a perfectionist.
To prove the rest,
That I can be among the best.

Not just to earn respect,
But to prove myself worthy.
Hence, I will not just be a talker,
But, a walker.

I will bring everyone down,
For looking on me down.
Despise them discreetly,
Will be the strength of my motivation.
This intolerable frustration,
Shall give me the inspiration,
To come back stronger.

I have promise myself,
To get back the old self,
Capable of the right,
To have bragging rights.

This is a self-proclaim prophecy,
That I Must fulfill.

Focus

The mind is separated when it thinks of another.

Sounds Logic?

But, it's a common mistake people aren't fully aware of.
Funny creatures they are.

Prodigy

Only when you learn to accept failures, will you frown upon the reality that you had stop striving.

Therefore, I must.

The Finger Injury

Anatomy:
The tendon that bends middle joint of the finger, is the shorter tendon. Called the flexor digitorum sublimis, or FDS.

Types of Injury:
Tendons can be stretched (strained) or ruptured during rock climbing.

Symptoms:

• Pain when the finger is bent.
• Mild swelling over the joint closest to the fingertip.
• Tenderness along the finger on the palm side of the hand.

Treatment:
Because the tendon cannot heal unless the ends are touching, a torn (ruptured) tendon must be repaired or sewn back to the muscle or bone. This requires surgery.

It can take up to two months before the repair is healed and it is strong enough that the hand can be used without protection. It may take another month or so before the hand can be used with any force.

My Conclusion:
I definitely requires no surgery, though the loud cracking sound meant something serious. Moreover, the two-three months break seems very demanding.

Glory of Success

The darkness shrouds the mind in a desperate attempt to release it from self control. As he pants heavily trying to attain back his ownself, he also loses grip. Yet the light from the distance begins to pave way. Slowly he regains consciousness of the fight that may end his attempt. At that moment, he pushes hard. And at that very moment, he catches the last hold and bring forth the glory in which he knows. The glory of success.

Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success. - Christopher Lasch

Weird

They say reality is stranger than fiction, and I'm beginning to believe its true.

A new discovery

A Forthnight at Malaysia

The 2 weeks of vacation brought me cool friends, newer experiences, better knowledge, and most of all, Climbing Upgrades (say like power up booster only).

The first week spent at my kampung was very simple. You can't really get connected with technology over there. So the only means of fun was the cable TV and socialising with my relatives. Though it's not often do I get to see them, it's the feeling of warmness of the soul from them that made me enjoy my stay there. It was interesting to hear rioting/fighting stories from my cousin especially. Fast fact from him, his kampung was more of a 'controlled territorial' area. Meaning if someone disturb any of the people, then the person would definitely be trying to stage a war. Sure sounds like a Mafia story alright. Mess with the family, down with the fishes.

By the second week, it was all about climbing everyday. The objectives was to try to push the limits while having fun. But most of the time the latter will tend to take over, and the development was no longer the target. It was like meditation to have force the mind to fight the dampen spirits sometimes. To put the mind in the right focus and bring forth the 'Bankai' mode.

Moreoever, the company of Malaysian climbers was a welcoming treat. They were a fun bunch of people and knew what it meant to be outgoing. Even met up with Sobhi's fire poi group. He, the 'cheong' of the group, tempted me to play. Of course, there was not much style nor tricks I can perform. I ended my performance with a momentary burnt on the arms and the 'helicopter'.

Well, they say you should save the best for last. Basically, the last day of our trip was expended at Putrajaya. I termed the place, the World Cup Climbing Centre! A bloody damn good place. TAK NAK BALIK LAH SIOL! (Don't want to go home ****!) Since a picture says a thousand words, I shall let you all see the million of words right here.

The Time Stood Still

It felt as though the minutes just stopped, but everything was still in motion. The mind was not wondering in the past nor the future. I had stop fantasizing and it was an uncommon phenomenon.

What surprised me was the absence of my eagerness about the end of the Ramadhan period and the impending trip to Malaysia. There was no thrill whatsoever. Instead, I sat in front of my laptop and witness changes of the present state. It was stoning in epic couch potato style.

The only way to escape this twilight zone is to switch off the laptop. For it will definitely halt the procrastination, and start the initiatives.

Circumstances

–noun
Definition: A condition, detail, part, or attribute, with respect to time, place, manner,agent, etc., that accompanies, determines, or modifies a fact or event; a modifying or influencing factor: Do not judge his behavior without considering every circumstance.


I wanted to change the circumstances. But if It/He/She/They chooses that way, there's really nothing I can do about it.

And that, is what it means to be place faith and hope for something you have no control over.

So think carefully, because the mind is by right, a complex system. Hence, we were not given the details so as not to be fickle-minded. Being sane, is what keeps us alive.

Be Yourself, Be Free

Alright ppl, its time to go get moving! Exams was hell.........yes, you know, i know, we all know. So what better way to spend the holidays than to get yourself psyched with, CLIMBING VIDEOS!!!!

Agony of Being a Perfectionist

Sometimes in life we yearn for success. Success that are set forth for self improvements. These goals can either reap tremendous benefits, or cause a prevailing downfall. So what happens when the story does not have a happy ending and the Perfectionist fails?

New Stuff

I just found new things to do to kill boredom, and lead a better life:

1) I did my first online shopping on Apple. Got my Ipod Shuffle with a cool engraving.

2) Got my touch with funny shit forums.

3) Learn how to communicate better with my peers.

4) Have my sense of giving.

5) Still learning to see the different side of people.

Learning to Move On

Tt's how I was taught.

I wasn't taught any better.

I was most of the time on my own in the first place.

I cannot bear to be any more crueler.

But, smtimes I do wonder, what kind of a person am I to hv really said such thing.

World History

Today, I had more than enough time to roam through the realm of the internet for a look on the topic History.

After several attempts to comprehend what the wikipedia and google had to offer, I finally conclude that I could only absorb bite-size information and not go in-depth of what is being said. Too much information on a single sub-topic makes my mind feel dull and boring.

However, I've learn several new things.

1) 20th century's greatest engineering achievements:

1. Electrification
2. Automobile
3. Airplane
4. Water Supply and Distribution
5. Electronics
6. Radio and Television
7. Agricultural Mechanization
8. Computers
9. Telephone
10. Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
11. Highways
12. Spacecraft
13. Internet
14. Imaging
15. Household Appliances
16. Health Technologies
17. Petroleum and Petrochemical Technologies
18. Laser and Fiber Optics
19. Nuclear Technologies
20. High-performance Materials

2) Regenerative Braking (although not part of history)
- What makes it interesting was how the system utilise the mechanical energy to produce electrical energy for hybrid cars with not much waste energy.

3) Sanskrit
- An ancient Indian language. I didn't realise there was a way to pronounce the words. I tried the first few letters or what, but obviously failed miserably.

4) Muslim Conquest in the 600 AD
- We were once power house like United States and Russia. It was so called during the Persian Era that we were 'rich' in many way. But, the question is, "What make us fall?" I was once told the reason behind it, but the Truth is what I seek since you can never rely much on hearsay.

5) History of Several Continents (Currently reading)
- Their past is what intrigues me. I mean, when you think about it, how do the people live their lifestyle back then. What was their entainment and their purpose in life when everything seems so mundane. Castles, huts, knights, bushmen, turban men, pyramids, etc. You name it, you research it.

Of course, there were more things I've learnt.

To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge. - Benjamin Disraeli

Article: You’re Not a Genius: Can You Become a Genius at Work?

Everyone wants to be a genius. However, the word “genius” gets thrown around a lot these days. If someone can memorize some facts from a book well they are called a “genius”. If someone can speak really well about a topic they are branded a “genius”. However, the true genius is someone who sees something that someone else doesn’t see. The true genius is insightful, clever, original and brings about change. The true genius is hard to come by.
How you can be the genius at your work

If you want to become a true genius you are in for a bit of a sore reality shock. Its not going to happen. True geniuses that are remembered as true geniuses are often born with a spark and they exhibit the qualities early in life. It is not often that a 30 year old at a desk job becomes a genius all of a sudden.

Read the first paragraph of this post again.

Now you know the trick. To be a genius at work you do not need to be Leonardo Da Vinci. You need to be “perceived” as a genius by the others around you. A genius, after all, is a relative term. If the other people at your work are lazy, slow and careless you will be able to become the work “genius” with nothing but a little bit of extra preparation!
Steps to becoming more like a genius

Now that you have faced facts and realized that you are never going to be a genius if you aren’t already you need to look at ways to be more like a genius. One can increase ones intelligence and perceived intelligence by emulating the greats of the past.

NOTE - This post might upset some people. If it upsets you it is likely that you are living a lie. There is nothing wrong with being of “average intelligence”. If you are trying to be smarter for anything other than academic purposes it is likely you are trying to be somebody you are not. This is not something people will respect you for. Be yourself. Most of the greatest people in history had other qualities other than intelligence - compassion, love and determination.

1. Read the news
If you read up on the current news, especially the news relating to your industry, you will be able to make recommendations that are current and up to date. They will seem inventive and cutting edge. It also allows you to relate what is going on in your company to what has happened to other companies in the news.

2. Study history
In the same light as number one if you read history you will seem learned and more able to make inventive suggestions. People are able to change the future by understanding the mistakes people have made in the past. The greatest fools are the ones that do not learn from history. Do not be like this. Make sure you study the history of your firm, company, industry and nation.

3. Change your perspective
The greatest geniuses in history have looked at simple issues with a different perspective. The greatest inventions in history have taken a simple idea and expanded on it.

“Thus the task is not to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what no one yet has thought about that which everybody sees.” -Schopenhauer

4. Work damn hard
All the geniuses throughout history have been hard workers. It is a mistake to think that smart people are just like that naturally. They work really hard. Leonardo hardly slept because he was working so hard. The same goes for everyone else.

“If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent” - Isaac Newton

5. Be patient
Monks will spend years in solitary retreat to make a simple realization. Nelson Mandella spent years in a prison where he was able to reflect on certain injustices and formulate a way to change them when he got out of his cell. Likewise, insight and cleverness takes time. If you need to solve a problem at work you need to give it time and attention. Do not be turned off if you do not make a break-through right away.

“I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light” - Isaac Newton

6. Relax
Nothing will ever come from a tight mind except for more tightness. The greatest moments of clarity happen when one is relaxed. However you relax it is important that you do that when you are “trying” to discover something new. The more often you are relaxed the more often these breakthroughs will occur.

Author's Note: Even though we may not be born clever, we can be clever. But let's not look at what we may be capable of only and rather, go do something about it. I did this research in view of the odd questions that someone asks me.

One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. - A. A. Milne

Chasing Dreams

For the past few days, I've been dreaming about running away from something. And the scene and location changes everytime. But all the while, I was just heavily panting constantly and running from something unknown. That was why I got a sense of dejavu when I watch Transformers 2. Sam runnning away from those Decepticons tt kept on shooting randomly and causing those big explosions. It was like I can put myself in his shoes.

However, the point of this post is not about running away. It's about running towards your dreams. How many of us can recollect how our friends or families laugh at us when we told them our dreams, especially those far-fetch ones. I'll bet it's quite a significant amount.

When I told my close friends about what I was going to be. They just simply ridicule me. Saying I don't have the looks. This and that. But at the moment, the tables have turn. Not that I want to shoot them back (although it seems sweet to do so :P). In summary, I had set the paths to my goal, and slowly achieving it. While the three of them had setbacks and now suffering from their own dilemmas.

One quit JC by first year and continue to study in SP.

The other two continued their JC lifestyle, had relatively not so good results that they are trying hard to get into Singapore's university.

And all three had advise me to join them in JC when I knew I would not do well in there.

So moral of the story is, Don't let anyone stop you from chasing your dreams!

Luffy from One Piece can teach you that. So would Uzumaki Naruto.

The wisest men follow their own direction. - Euripides

Limit, Beliefs, and Purpose

Everyone has their limit. We only find it when we push to reach that limit and can no longer perform any further. So what do we do after that? Does it means our journey ends there? Or do we strive further even though we could no longer exceed the limit?

If you had read in between the lines then you would have began to realise that it then relies on your beiliefs of how you want to take control over the matter.

If you had believed that you could no longer exceed, then you would have fail to see flaw in your mentality that is stopping you from going over the comfort zone.

If you had a stronger mind, then you would not have accept the fact of your limited capabilities and would have fight for something more.

To push the boundaries of your body till it physically and mentally torments itself that you start asking yourself, "What was the purpose of all of these?"

The Author's Note: This post is to show how we humans have a limit to anything, and how our mind works to acknowledge/disavow this limitation which is dependable on our beliefs system. However, if we choose to strive for further excellence then we should have a purpose for it.

The superior man is distressed by the limitation of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability he has. - Confucius

Note: All this was written by me except the quote. So if u are surprised, so am I.

What is Your Destiny

If you were told that you were not meant to be, do you accept that as destiny or do you change it?

I choose the latter.

Your Typical M.

I actually just finish writing ten things about them. But later realise it would hv been offensive and rascist. Hence, I cant rly tell u. :)

But I definitely would be the opposite of them.

The Perfect Man

It's hard to be the perfect man when you see too many flaws. To hv the intention is one thing. To chg is another thing.

Now where shld we start........hmmmmmm......

After a Movie

It never fails to touch the heart or fickles the deep emotions of a being.

Especially a love story.

Coz we all seek it in some ways or the other.

I find mine created plentiful in dreamscape.

Not yet in reality.....

Time for a Change

I duno how many times I have done it. But I have always been tryin to improve myself one way or another. Each time I do it, the outcome depends entirely on the level of discipline and effort I put in.

There were its' ups and downs but the moment of feelin psyche was consistently present, and what is left is the individual's willingness to put his mind into work.

So I guess the sayin is true. Greatness is in everyone of us, but it is only the great ones that sees it. At least tt is how i rmb it.

And to kp me more motivated. I shall remember Naruto's Way of the Ninja.

The Club

I chance upon a journey of a lifetime.

The first few steps to the club was of much confidence for having made a decision. Behind the table was no one that I know. Somehow, I knew things were gonna be alright. That was the day I registered myself in the club for $25 bucks.

Fireshow, amazing people, and cool audio system. It was something I did not expect but made me feel on cloud nine. From then on, I dedicated myself. Doing what I can to contribute, committing myself, proving to the rest that I was dead serious about it. Young and ambitious, that was the era of it.

Time flies by, and the next thing I knew I was part of an organisation that I had to lead someway. Friendly people, crazy people, funny people, depressive people, strange people. All of them tells a story. Inspirational and depressive cycles continued like an everyday phenomenon. However, I never regretted my decision to have join the club.

Presently, handling social creatures with sensitive minds is what my duty calls. To be a peacekeeper and create a utopia world is what I want. Why can men not dream of the impossible?

I shall now place a token of hope to the club and its upbringing.

Cheers to SPRC

Beating Around The Bush

It just occur to me at this hour to write about something. If you can comprehend the sentence then u must understand tt I write watever 'pops' into my head. Watever tt peaks my mind tt i think shld be thought-provoking.

And most of the time, several things come in within a fraction of a secs. Which explains the random sentences in my blog. Cause i just whack watever comes into my head without tryin to make a point. That part of my life is called 'Beating around the bush!'

It may help to explain my point of "Why people cant understand what i'm tryin to say most of the time."

Shit.........

I 4got bot the chat i promise ah xian.

Damnit!

Nxt time babe.

Plan Ahead

Despite all things positive, you can never be too careful.

Somehow i detest this brain of mine. It works too good smtimes that i rather be dumb fuck so as not to think too much! And also this hyper sensitivity, so powerful yet dangerous.

Mayb wat jay said was definitely right. Of course i cant share it here, coz only a dumbass wld do tt if he duno what's gd for him. But learn to utilise wat u ady hv wld be the positive remark to counter this 'weakness'.

What it means to plan ahead? It means to be careful of what u are typing. For example, like right now.

Life's Complications

I'm not the kind of person who likes to complain. To keep it short, life is sure full of surprises which we can expect, but only hope for the best. Tt's my saying.

So how now brown cow?

Now the brown cow needs to rethink this whole complications and ask himself wat is the right thing to do?

How do u see the person in their genuine characters and not judge the person by their probable utmost malignant intentions that comes as a dire consequence to u?

Must a man make a grievous sacrifice that he shall bear the pain for maybe an eternity?

As I ask myself this questions, I ponder the actions of my "friends."

In other words, they are Life's Complications.

My hands,,,,,

........its burning hot.

In the weakest form at the moment, but Sueann said its norm. Mention tt we must train endurance more to get it bck. Shld i or shldn I? Freaking lazy sia wanna train bck. Duno whether wan waste time again or not.

But, what's impt is march 23,25,27. coz they make my world go round. :)

My Curse

I don't understand why but somehow ppl can be close to me like we were brother/sister but somehow along the way, they become more distant the more i try to keep em closer.

Its either just me or is it rly just me?

Mayb its because of what they misintepret along the way OR smthin they cldn understand when they see another side of me?

On a positive note, maybe i shld blame myself for not takin the right actions to ask myself why and do smthin about it?

Weird

The Nail That Got Away

Tetanus, also called lockjaw, is a medical condition characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers. The primary symptoms are caused by tetanospasmin, a neurotoxin produced by the Gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani. Infection generally occurs through wound contamination, and often involves a cut or deep puncture wound. As the infection progresses, muscle spasms in the jaw develop, hence the name lockjaw. This is followed by difficulty in swallowing and general muscle stiffness and spasms in other parts of the body.[1] Infection can be prevented by proper immunization and by post-exposure prophylaxis.[2]

Association with rust

Tetanus is often associated with rust, especially rusty nails, but this concept is somewhat misleading. Objects that accumulate rust are often found outdoors, or in places that harbour anaerobic bacteria, but the rust itself does not cause tetanus nor does it contain more C. tetani bacteria. The rough surface of rusty metal merely provides a prime habitat for a C. tetani endospore to reside, and the nail affords a means to puncture skin and deliver endospore into the wound. An endospore is a non-metabolising survival structure that begins to metabolise and cause infection once in an adequate environment. Because C. tetani is an anaerobic bacterium, it and its endospores will thrive in an environment that lacks oxygen. Hence, stepping on a nail (rusty or not) may result in a tetanus infection, as the low-oxygen (anaerobic) environment of a puncture wound provides the bacteria with an ideal breeding ground.

After reading this info from wikipedia, i duno why i am still not worried. But got my meds and a Tetanus IV though. So i guess i'm safe.

CAMM

Sure die one.

Brain dead and ain lovin' it.

The Time Has Come

Now is not the time for fun and games.

It is THE time to be serious and challenging.

Damn u other me. Can u focus on what matters and not fool ard this time.

Everything Seems To Be Good

Every1 seems to be motivated for smthing somewhere.

Every1 seems to be happy!

All the Best! :)

Degenerate Lifestyle

Having a 4-day weekend may not be as fun as u may think. Especially if u dun noe how to spend the time well.

You just get stuck not knowing what to do next. Hence, leaving urself wif means of living a degenerate lifestyle momentarily.

Lately I realise I was refering to myself as 'I' and not 'We'. What happen to the not self-centred and understanding me?!?!?! I read an article or what somewhere which intepreted that to refer to oneself as 'I' is to be thinking of one's own life and not be bothered bot others, while to refer to oneself as 'We' is to be thinking bot the best interest of society and do what is right or needed.

Maybe because I have too much of a problem that I am incapable of showing care and concern abot the rest. There are some life theories that seem to contradict with each other. Imbalance I conclude may be the source of the problem.

Or is it really just me?

Quote: Its a good day to die! (4get where it came frm, but plz dun see it as negatively, coz it means alot more than what it seems my frens! :) )

Being Too Far Ahead Of Time

Smtimes it doesn rly pay to be wise. Believing in ur conscience and takin cautious of the things we do. It just makes life boring and makes us more mundane human beings. The price I pray for being a goody-too-shoe boy isn as positive as u may think.

This may explain why bein the Devil of me can suit the situation smtimes. Life too short for regrets. Must make the right decisions constantly. Being a good gentlemen. Being honest. Doing the right thing. Fuck all those man.

Seriously, to hv fun and be adventurous, you gotta take risks. And do the craziest things without meaning em in the 1st place, and regretting the consequences much later.

Being the perfect man doesn get u everything. Bein the perfect asshole may get u smthin. Evn though it may be a pain in the arse.

With Nothing More

So much of an ending as an open finalist for me. Oh well, goes to show how stupid coms can be and how stupid i can be.

3 of the same mistakes made within 2 years. I nv learn my lesson despite the hard way.

Hmmm........considering joinin only rockmaster, and spd comps. At least there wun be any cock-ups, long waiting time, nor wld ther be any similar mistakes made again. Just ain cut-out for this kind of thing.

A BIG '?'

Something must be done.

For What is Best

Focus on the things in life that matters. Know no boundaries my friend.

oh yea, didn expect to go to open finals the wrng way. Terry, u owe me a combo meal man.......what was it again, a mee maggi and wat drink?

Btw, it was good to see a whole lot of teamsprc. It motivates me. Seriously.

Hope 2 changing the club for the better.

And stop monitorin the laptop.........ur eyes are killin u my fren. :P

YES MAN!

It started from an email, to Terry's advice, to something crazy enough to do.

1 sentence of advice to u guys: Dun expect anything.

1 sentence of advice to ME: Expect something. Something embarrassing but worth while for the fun of it. And make that 3 sentences altogether.

Wisdom Told Me So

Maybe, there are more impt things to life. :)

They say....

Welcoming The New Year!

This time, the new year was celebrated with much delight. It was the 1st time I went somewhere to commemorate the new year. The past years, it was just couch-potato style.

For now, I shall pen down on what happen before & after the clock strikes twelve:

Before:
Basically I could go home as early as 10am on the 31st dec, due to the fact tt my maths tutorial was optional. Or mayb better, cld hv just make a self-declare holiday since the 1st two lessons in the mornin wasn smthin of great importance (tend to sleep in em too! no surprise ther eh.).

After playing chess in maths lesson which ended by 12pm, I make my way to the rock gym in hype mode. Totally amazingly, alot of ppl were ther. I guess every1 was cheerful and was anticipating their upcoming plans for the day.

I made small talk as I proceed thru the crowd and befallen myself on the 'lucky 8' ( for those who duno, lucky 8 is the famous cue ball bag where every1 hv slept on or maybe with! hahaha!) While waiting for Terry BoBerry to appear, I learnt to play 3 doors down - this time on the electric guitar. Had to take some quikie lessons wif Naz. Damn bah-ger noe how to sings well too.

After:
*Fastforward to the interesting part..............
Hans, Terry, Hairul & girl, and me were sitting our ass off at east coast park, by the beach. It was ady 11++pm. Winner menthol (a.k.a. banana) was the brand of cigs choice of the day that we smoke b4 the clock strikes 12 (it would be the last time i smoke hopefully). It was just great sitting & smoking wif em while enjoying the cooling breeze. It brings bck the sentimental value of my old self.

Suddenly, the sky illuminated bright red. It wasn a terrorist attack or anything of tt sort. It was the flares tt had shot up frm several ships tt had lined up along the sea horizon. The public toasted and merry-making in unison.

Life was bliss.

It wasn long b4 Hairul and Terry started the ball rolling. Fire-pois were lighted. Camera was rolling. and ther was ACTION! Burn and burn the pois did. Play and play we did. It wasn tt difficult to catch the attention of passer-bys. We were too engrossed in our activities that everythin else didn seem to matter, esp our nervousness.

P.s.--> This will be a too long an entry if I was to go on any further. I shall save the remaining story for another time then.
