It's back to training now after one week's break.
Today, 18th June 2008 I went back to continue my boxing training. The ring has temporarily been removed for modification works to be done. On the other hand it also means more moving space for the trainees.
The experienced boxers and beginners were separated during training thus we are able to get more focused training to help us improve our skills, speed and power.
With the still injured nose which i sustained during my latest stint a open match that bled for several many minutes I was again hit on the same spot during a light exchange exercise. It gave me a mixed feelings of helplessness and frustration. But after that I cleared up and went back to train, with the bags coz they wont really hit u back no matter how hard you kick or punch them! =D It turned out to be fruitful. My jabs and crosses improved in speed and power trumendously.
The hit i got which led me to bleeding again turned out handy. I begun working on my defense. Somehow i drew inspiration from some of my fellow boxers whist they were doing some light sparring practices. That was just before I punched the bags and got the outcome which turned out good. With the defensive movements I added in, it created room for my punches to be delivered much more smoothly and with more confidence as I would be much better guarded too.
One more thing, just yesterday night before i sleep, I discovered my correct punching posture, hands slightly close to the body for tight defense and slightly elevated too. From that position, deliver the 1,2. My arms stretched all the way out with good speed and power. With repetition, the power is there to stay. It's like a present for me, coming in small packages one at a time for me perserverence and determination to claim what would rightfully and eventually be mine, The Champion's Throne.
In all, it was all good and progressive. The pain has always something good in exchange for me to take with me so it served as a source of encouragement to bring me to the next level. God bless and Pens off.
*The new boxing shoes I received as a bdae gift played a great part in my improved balance too ;)
Hi people this is me jimmy :) and anything recorded would be small accounts of my tini winy life that is ever so lively :p full of changes yet adapted with ease and balance. feel free to drop comments!

Father's Day
Cool.
Went out and had a good time with hj. went to the IT show to get the ink catridge for my printer. it was $52.00, one black and one colour catridge. Saved some money there. When it is not under promotion, it would have cost me $70+ dollars!! So i saved quite a bit =]
That was that. We later went to mac and ate a little before I met up with my family who were already gathered at Central (at clarke quay) which is super near my work place, just waiting for me =].
My siblings were in charge of the present and me? I am giving my father and whoever attended a dinner treat! And so we went to Tom TOn Japanese Restaurant. It's a place that specialise on Black Pigs. And I mean very expensive pigs my godness.
We ordered the food and begun digging in. After the satisfactory meal, came the bill. Even my brothers and sisters break cold sweat for me. $297.55. My sister took a picture of it to commorate this day and I took out my debit card to put my signature on it. Ouch.
Nevertheless I was happy that they were all happy =] especially my father. On top of the meal, he got a Soviet Titus watch which he really likes.

My 2nd Boxing Competition
I had my second boxing competition on the 8th June 2008 and I came in 2nd too -_- Hopefully I dun come in 3rd on my 3rd competition -_- . It was held at Sembawang Community Centre in the early Sunday morning.
That day although I lost, I stood up all the way till the end. In the last round, I was hit on my nose, blood flew out and the ref stopped the fight. It was over. My opponent leaped away in joy and jubilation, celebrating his sweet victory.
At that point in time, although a little disappointed that I lost the match after all the painstaking training, I was proud of myself to have stood up throughout the match, in the ring. I was a brave warrior. I stood firm till the battle is over. Anyway I was focusing on the blood that was flowing from my nose ceaselessly to my shirt, my shorts, on my shoes then to the canvas.
I finally got hit and bled I thought. As I thought back, I remembered the number of times I broke other's nose and see them bled. That day, it was my turn haha. I was a little amused by it and wasnt really affacted by the fact that I am bleeding as the many who bled coz of me continued fighting, training even harder after that. They have given me the courage to take it like a man.
I want to be the champ. I will become the champion. I'll be back =]

Coughs coughs
Oh man I am having a coughing spell... Somehow I cant get rid of the phlegm in my throat or lungs and it's so irritating!!! That made me go find out more about coughing and below is an extract from http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ just incase there is copyright issue, I hereby proclaim that this is an extract that belongs to netdoctor.co.uk.
Coughing defined.
Reviewed by Dr John Pillinger, GP
Coughing is a reflex action started by stimulation of sensory nerves in the lining of the respiratory passages - the tubes we use to breathe. When a person coughs, there is a short intake of breath and the larynx (the voice box) closes momentarily. The abdominal and chest muscles used for breathing contract, which in turn increases the pressure needed to drive air out the lungs when the larynx re-opens. The resulting blast of air comes out at high speed, scrubbing and clearing the airway of dust, dirt or excessive secretions. Coughing is a common symptom when the airways are 'tight', as in asthma.The cough reflex is a vital part of the body's defence mechanisms. Normally, the lungs and the lower respiratory passages are sterile. If dust or dirt get into the lungs, they could become a breeding ground for bacteria and cause pneumonia or infection in the breathing tubes. What causes coughing?Coughing usually means there is something in the respiratory passages that should not be there. This can be caused by breathing in dust particles in the air or when a piece of food goes down the wrong way. It could also be a sign that an infection in the lungs is making the respiratory passages produce phlegm. Coughing can be provoked by:
the common cold, which is a frequent cause of acute cough that usually settles in less than three weeks.
sucking material into the breathing tubes from your mouth.
more severe illnesses, such as pneumonia, acute heart failure or pulmonary embolism (a clot in the blood vessels of the lung).
smoking, which often causes chronic cough (smoker's lung).
asthma - particularly in children who may only cough and show no wheezing.
stomach acid coming back up the gullet and spilling over into the windpipe (gastro-oesophageal reflux).
medicines used in heart disease called ACE inhibitors.
bacterial or viral infections in the lungs, eg acute bronchitis, pneumonia, whooping cough, croup in children
rarely coughing can be provoked by psychological illness
damage to the nerves that supply the vocal chords (known as vocal chordpalsy) and chronic cough can occur.Coughing is more efficient when preceded by a full intake of air. For this reason, patients with weak muscles, poor coordination of airway closure and re-opening, or who have airflow obstruction (as inCOPD) will have a poor cough and be susceptible to complications including infection in the lower respiratory tract and pneumonia.
This is another good website I found that helps people who are interested in taking care of their own health.

Ord to 1st Boxing Match on 9th March 2008
I had my first boxing match on the 9th March 2008. I won. YEA!!!!! hahaz...
Prior to this fight, I was in Muaythai for about 3 years have since fought 5 Muaythai competition. The most recent being the one held at Hockey Village at Boon lay CC if I do not remember wrongly =] I fought an young inpiring Kickboxer who is only 17 years old as at 2008.
It was a 3 rounds match then. I floored him once with my punches that landed hard. I felt it. But he was strong and stood up. Awhile later in the match, I landed a good left kick to his ribs that caused him quite abit of pain. Once again, being strong willed, he hung on. In the last round I was clinched by the neck and took some knee strikes from him.
For that match I had to settle for a draw but, I really learnt alot from it! Totally great start for me too, to start a fight in the beginning of the year!
So that was that. Being a floating soul and 'without' a Muaythai gym I can settle down in since I finished my national service on 7th May 2007, I trained with Alvin, a Muaythai Coach/friend of mine on and off. Under him I even fought my friend and 'ex' gym mate from Hilltop Muaythai that was abt 5 to 6kg heavier than me in an 'exhibition' match for Contenders Asia, an event held in Singapore in Sept 2007.
For that match, I lost due to the last round which was filled with clinching. Clinching was an area that I had not been training for after some time and that resulted in me taking a few more knee kick to my body than I should have. I had to be on my defensive for most of the last round. As a consolation, I did have my moment in that match. My left hook caught him in the chin in the first round almost knocking him down beautifully. Damn it was good =P
On that same day I fought that match I got a call from Liz from Recruit Express, a friendly and super helpful agent whom I engaged to help me find a job when I was jobless after I quit a part time job which I held. She informed me that I got an interview for a job at MOM! Ministry of Manpower! A place where all the powerful people go! =p
On 1st October 2007, I entered Ministry of Manpower. And to celebrate that, it was Children's Day too!! No party though ha. It was the day I first met Boon leng, my manager, Grace, my assist manager, Jeremy ma buddy and Caroline, my 'shi jie'. On my first day there I remember having lunch with Ruth, Jeremy, Michael from WORK PERMIT side plus Yanling at Sheng Xiong there =)
So days went by as I settle down in my new work place.. all peaceful and well. Then there was this day. This day which I got VERY VERY PISSED, Credit to Ms Lim Jun Hui. =P I was so pissed I want to find a reason to vent my anger or an excuse to continue my path as a Martial Artist. I made that my reason. So on that very day as I was on my way back home from work I didnt alight at Hougang where I live but alighted at Little India station instead where my current boxing gym, U2Can is located at. It was a Friday I remember as we were able to dress down. I went there, spoke to the coach and requested to start immediately. It was kind of funny as I wasnt in the right attire!! I was wearing a pink polo top that is very striking in color and rusty color army pants plus a pair of rugged looking sneakers -_- totally off in attire for an Boxing class. Nevertheless I asked for permission to do it that way and was given the green light.
And so the class begun and we were doing physical conditioning for a start. Being still quite pissed I was really ON for all the exercises that was given although I was really tired after a long day at work and it was a long long time since I go intensive on 'exercise'!! Plus I havent taken my dinner.
Half way through, I got into a dizzy spell -_-. Kind of fainting sensation, turned cold and broke into cold sweat. Coach Bala was the only coach there and then. He sat me down and advised me to do a few exercises to get me back and blood flowing properly again. After awhile he asked me to join back to continue with the exercises that followed. He then asked in an not so friendly manner, "Jimmy, are you tired?!" "No coach!", I replied not like I have other options... After awhile I was seeing double of everything again.
Coach Bala being REALLY concerned decided to pour water down my head to wake me up or to freshen me up after my second fainting spell quickly got hold of a bottle of 'WATER' not knowing that it was a bottle of 100plus, happily poured over my head and everything else below. It tasted kinda good though and yes it was REALLY quite refreshing. Then he went Oops, I did it again.
Eventually Coach Sri came into our gym and joined the coaching team to guide us to become better Boxers. Both coaches showed plenty of care and interest in me as I was good with my straight punches as they mentioned several times. So they reckon that I should train and go for the competition in March that was to be held in Velocity at Novena Square, a public fight event for all to see.
With them, I trained and grew as a boxer, learning from them what I missed out or didnt get to learn while I was practicing Muaythai. So that was it, I trained hard, worked for what I aspired for. On that very day, I fought with what I had and what I knew to that point of time and I Won.
Yes, finally my work had paid off good. Finally Jimmy is victorious.
After my victory, Coach Bala gave me a hug and said that he was proud of me and that I did a great job. Coach Sri too, ever so confident of what I am capable of, came up to me and gave me a pad on my back and smiled, telling me that he knew I could knock my opponent down haha....
On the other hand, I would like to credit my opponent for being a great and sporting fighter too. As according to my coaches, without him I would never get the chance to be a winner. And I didnt say that he was good just becoz i am trying to be kind or cocky. I was actually knocked out cold by him on the 3rd round of the match. It was a clean powerful shot on my head that sent me to the canvas, making me see black screen for a second. I had to use my will to continue to climb up and fight him again, head on to seal the eventual victory. I thank my coaches and my opponent for making me the fighter I am today, making it a meaningful life and a life with purpose and something to forward to.
Lastly I would like to thank June. June, thank you for making me so angry that day. Had it not been for you I might not even be at Velocity on the 9th March 2008 to become what I was meant to become =] I promise I will only get better and Win in my matches to come..... I will become the best there is can be. That is my goal. -Pens off

Reminder of Feelings
Some quotes I find meaningful:
"If you don't bother about other people's feelings, you better don't wish that other people care abt your feelings. " -Jimmy
"I wouldn't care a shit about what you do if I had not put in effort like being truthful, honesty and care in the relationship." -Jimmy
"By making decisions only if it only benefit you but not considering what or how it would affact another person's feeling is a selfish decision." -Jimmy

Promises. Lies. Expectations. Disappointment. Satisfaction.Journey. Discovery. Pain.Irony. Health. Mood. Emotions. Mind. Control. Method. Knowledge.
People are classified as either Mature or, Not Mature. But how do we further investigate make a final decision and put a label on a person? There's a saying that put forth that one who has control over his emotion, is a mature and grown up person, spiritually, emotionally. Whereas those who live by instinct and react instead of make proactive decisions then act are termed, childish.
there has been an universal misconception about one thing. we all think that we are our mind. the truth is, it's not true. our mind is an seperate entity to us. we are not our mind. Let's take a closer look at what the mind is and some of the characteristics which it enbodies.
Our mind lived with us since we are born. it has little control over us when we are still in our 'baby' time. but as we grow older, it gets the better of most of us. in short it's a monster in us that could destroy us if not handled properly.
It has some behavioral traits:
1- It holds internal conversations in our head (like the angel and devil talking in us. something we commonly see in cartoons.
2- It likes to make judgements. 'He looks cute!' is a common one. There are worst but i shall not go into that.
3- It loves to compare. one of it's top favourite. 'How i wish i am as tall as him....' sounds familiar?
4- Dramatising our life situations. What is simplicity!? Let's go for an car accident! How abt tripping over an banana and break a bone or two. Top on it's list.
5- Thinking incessantly. Ever found yourself in situation whereby you cant stop thinking even when you are fucking tired and need a break from all that 'work'? Good luck to you.
6- Thinking negatively. 65% of what comes from that side is not positive.
7- Dwells into the past and future but never on the present moment, which is what's most important in our life. If you look back at the times which you looked into the past or think abt somethings in the future that might happen but has yet happen? How often do you feel positive emotion from those thoughts? Tell me about it.
8- Get all too emotional and likes being emotional. Shows how it's going to make you a big and 'mature' person. All the best if you continue associating yourself to this 'great' pal of yours.
When i first found out about this scary truth, i was scared. i was like, wtf. do i need to be exocised or sumthin? damn... fortunately the way out aint that tough as it might seem. atleast u and i dun need to hire an exocist yet? freak it aite.
ok, let me show some other examples of people who lost themselves to their 'best' pal, the devil living in ya.
Ever see people you jUDGEd as 'CRAZY' shouting vulgarities all over anybody going near them or just simply talking to themselves like some people are talking to them? Look at point No. 1 abv on the Mind's characteristics. These people you see are just ADVANCE stages of things went out of control. These people have basically lost their souls to their mind that took over not without permission from the 'previous' owner of the body that held a soul. Great example of the living dead, just like a zombie, waiting to be withered and blend with the soil. Talking out loud is a projection of what's going on in the minds of that person holding an internal conversation. The only difference is, Internal and External Projection. So everyone of us are more or less to a certain extend, insane too.
Who here likes to bitch around =]. well it's simply your mind doing what it likes best. All the best to you, we are talking about how, bit by bit your mind is taking grounds over you like a virus spreading in you, slowly and deadly. People who make concious decisions not to behave the way their mind wants them to, eventually gain control over their life. They are the powerful people out there. They are the happy people out there. They control their own life's circumstances. not the other way round.
Feeling all miserable even when you are all well and alive? Your mind says, well what should we do next, How abt feeling sad first then angry =p. ah i know, to add a little drama, how abt cutting our wrist. you know what i am talkin abt.
Wanna feel sad ? it's easy, look back into a PAST relationship. how long do you want to feel sad. 1hr, 1 month and start feeling all depressed? How abt this. You broke something that you know is something precious to your mother. The next thing that you will do is make a short Projection into the FUTURE. fuck she is going to drill a hole in my head. You feel all worried and yr mood dampened. When she comes back, saw the mess, gives you a pad to tell you how much she values you more. You just screwed yourself for nothing. when Living in the PRESENT, the NOW of TIME is much more fufilling than anything else in this world you find gratifying.
NOthing gives you eternal bliss other than to be able to live in the NOW. Because NOW is forever. The only time you truely know that you are alive and still living in this beautiful world. The past is dead. it is no longer real. what is NOW IS REAL. Dont waste time in the PAST ANYMORE. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR NOWs, your life. FEARING DEATH is a great example of living in the fear of FUTURE. fuck, you are alive now, the fuck with future. live this moment like the last. You never know what's going to happen tmr, next week. so fuck it.
Love anything that is presently surrounding you like it's the first time you are experiencing it, everytime. every experience is new. your hse, a book in your shelf, your parents infront of you.
The joy is lasting and lasts forever. Love for all blooms. There's no longer color, race or religion. all are brothers and sisters.
when you stop judging others you are setting your soul free of more fresh breathing air to inhale love into you and breath out love to others ard you. never will you feel such satisfaction from freeing yourself to judging others. most importantly, stop judging yourself. You are your worst critic. sounds familiar. nobody in this world other than yourself can pad you on your should and carry yourself up and start walking again after a fall. nobody is more reliable than yourself. you got to be your best buddy when nobody else seem to care. fresh air, go for it. the moment you made a judgement on something or someone else, you are prevented from living in the PRESENT moment. and at the very same moment, you are being judged too. so the more you do it the more trapped you become.
pens off for now.
there has been an universal misconception about one thing. we all think that we are our mind. the truth is, it's not true. our mind is an seperate entity to us. we are not our mind. Let's take a closer look at what the mind is and some of the characteristics which it enbodies.
Our mind lived with us since we are born. it has little control over us when we are still in our 'baby' time. but as we grow older, it gets the better of most of us. in short it's a monster in us that could destroy us if not handled properly.
It has some behavioral traits:
1- It holds internal conversations in our head (like the angel and devil talking in us. something we commonly see in cartoons.
2- It likes to make judgements. 'He looks cute!' is a common one. There are worst but i shall not go into that.
3- It loves to compare. one of it's top favourite. 'How i wish i am as tall as him....' sounds familiar?
4- Dramatising our life situations. What is simplicity!? Let's go for an car accident! How abt tripping over an banana and break a bone or two. Top on it's list.
5- Thinking incessantly. Ever found yourself in situation whereby you cant stop thinking even when you are fucking tired and need a break from all that 'work'? Good luck to you.
6- Thinking negatively. 65% of what comes from that side is not positive.
7- Dwells into the past and future but never on the present moment, which is what's most important in our life. If you look back at the times which you looked into the past or think abt somethings in the future that might happen but has yet happen? How often do you feel positive emotion from those thoughts? Tell me about it.
8- Get all too emotional and likes being emotional. Shows how it's going to make you a big and 'mature' person. All the best if you continue associating yourself to this 'great' pal of yours.
When i first found out about this scary truth, i was scared. i was like, wtf. do i need to be exocised or sumthin? damn... fortunately the way out aint that tough as it might seem. atleast u and i dun need to hire an exocist yet? freak it aite.
ok, let me show some other examples of people who lost themselves to their 'best' pal, the devil living in ya.
Ever see people you jUDGEd as 'CRAZY' shouting vulgarities all over anybody going near them or just simply talking to themselves like some people are talking to them? Look at point No. 1 abv on the Mind's characteristics. These people you see are just ADVANCE stages of things went out of control. These people have basically lost their souls to their mind that took over not without permission from the 'previous' owner of the body that held a soul. Great example of the living dead, just like a zombie, waiting to be withered and blend with the soil. Talking out loud is a projection of what's going on in the minds of that person holding an internal conversation. The only difference is, Internal and External Projection. So everyone of us are more or less to a certain extend, insane too.
Who here likes to bitch around =]. well it's simply your mind doing what it likes best. All the best to you, we are talking about how, bit by bit your mind is taking grounds over you like a virus spreading in you, slowly and deadly. People who make concious decisions not to behave the way their mind wants them to, eventually gain control over their life. They are the powerful people out there. They are the happy people out there. They control their own life's circumstances. not the other way round.
Feeling all miserable even when you are all well and alive? Your mind says, well what should we do next, How abt feeling sad first then angry =p. ah i know, to add a little drama, how abt cutting our wrist. you know what i am talkin abt.
Wanna feel sad ? it's easy, look back into a PAST relationship. how long do you want to feel sad. 1hr, 1 month and start feeling all depressed? How abt this. You broke something that you know is something precious to your mother. The next thing that you will do is make a short Projection into the FUTURE. fuck she is going to drill a hole in my head. You feel all worried and yr mood dampened. When she comes back, saw the mess, gives you a pad to tell you how much she values you more. You just screwed yourself for nothing. when Living in the PRESENT, the NOW of TIME is much more fufilling than anything else in this world you find gratifying.
NOthing gives you eternal bliss other than to be able to live in the NOW. Because NOW is forever. The only time you truely know that you are alive and still living in this beautiful world. The past is dead. it is no longer real. what is NOW IS REAL. Dont waste time in the PAST ANYMORE. YOU ARE WASTING YOUR NOWs, your life. FEARING DEATH is a great example of living in the fear of FUTURE. fuck, you are alive now, the fuck with future. live this moment like the last. You never know what's going to happen tmr, next week. so fuck it.
Love anything that is presently surrounding you like it's the first time you are experiencing it, everytime. every experience is new. your hse, a book in your shelf, your parents infront of you.
The joy is lasting and lasts forever. Love for all blooms. There's no longer color, race or religion. all are brothers and sisters.
when you stop judging others you are setting your soul free of more fresh breathing air to inhale love into you and breath out love to others ard you. never will you feel such satisfaction from freeing yourself to judging others. most importantly, stop judging yourself. You are your worst critic. sounds familiar. nobody in this world other than yourself can pad you on your should and carry yourself up and start walking again after a fall. nobody is more reliable than yourself. you got to be your best buddy when nobody else seem to care. fresh air, go for it. the moment you made a judgement on something or someone else, you are prevented from living in the PRESENT moment. and at the very same moment, you are being judged too. so the more you do it the more trapped you become.

The feeling.
Recently, about 2 weeks ago I took part in a Muaythai 'friendly' competition which wasnt really very friendly~ Fought a friend whom i knew who was abt eh, 7kg heavier than me and on that 'friendly' match i lost. That's not really the point I am trying to emphasize though. He was good and that was it. Although I lost, I won too. I am always a winner, that's what I think of myself. Losing never dampant my spirit. Infact it fires me up more... each and everyday after the match my burning desire to step up the ring to face off with anyone who dares step up the ring rages in my mind. I will dominate all anything that comes my way. It just keep playing back in my head like this, always like that.
That's besides the point though ha. It's not really so much about what happens in the fight, as while fighting you dun really have time to feel, you just have to keep 'doing' and never think lol. And that was what I did in that match that somewhat earned me my lost. In the ring, start thinking of what to do next is The End. what one needs to do is just fight and just fight. Dont kill the match, yr match, yr chance of Victory.
Nevertheless the time which you can 'feel' the most within yourself is the period of time before you step inside the ring. It's not a feeling people get to experience in one person's normal day. But, but, if you a criminal on the run, maybe, maybe we felt the same rush of adrenaline, fear and nervousness that's almost uncontrollable regardless of how confident you might be. Cold sweat will start flowing out of you like a drug addict under going a cold turkey phase while trying to kick away the drug addiction.
The night before? sometimes sleeping becomes a problem too ha. And that's not really good you know, when rest before the match is one of the most crucial factor ha. Some cant even sleep, I dunno. It would continue until say, 10mins before the fight itself. That, was some work itself.
Then, that match itself, when I stepped into the ring, all the fear and anxiety vanished. It was then replaced by a feeling of bliss, and even joy haha... unfortunately it got a little sleepy too haha... and the sense of excitement came in too. It was like, I finally made it up here, again. I was once again in charge of my life. I took control and did what I had to do many times over what I missed.
I won, too.

Working and Money
Finally I have officially 'entered' the working world. Just last week as of 1st Oct 2007, i begun work at ministry of manpower in the work pass division as a mso(management support officer). I got this job through Recuit express through my consultant, Liz Low who was introduced to me by Nicole, my Muaythai lady friend. Thank you Nicole!
Yup so it also means that I have left The Buffet Club. Made alots of friends there and learnt alot of things. So if you still are interested in the BuffetClub feel free to let me know and I can refer you to my colleagues who are still working there =]. A very good club especially if you are a person who enjoys Buffet dining.
I would consider myself lucky to be able to go into the jobs which I have been to as of now. All of which are healthy working places with encouraging people and people with positive working attitute.
In my new work place I report to work by 8.30am everyday end go home after 6pm although Mon to Thurs the go home time is 6pm and unfortunately no OT pay de. Friday, the go home time is 5.30pm and we get to dress down hee so not so bad. Lunch time is 1pm to 2pm! It's acutally a 6 months contract though. Hopefully i would be given a full time position after 3 or 6months if I perform well! =] Then I will get an pay increment. I need to start saving.
Need to come out with a plan to save soon. Maybe some reading will help... Ready.... Action! ;)

Checkout My Army Daze!
Memories of moi army daze =] so fast and it's going to be the 3rd month since I ord =] looking back it's just like a student missing those good old school days after they enter the working industry where once in awhile they still get an holiday break. For me, I dun really miss the school days, army days were my 'school' equivilent. It's a place where I experience what I didnt get to experience or should have while in school. Friendship, teamwork, cooperation, initiative, assertiveness, discipline, responsibility, passion are the things I get to exercise or made to exercise while in my days in 8SAB (SINGAPORE ARMOUR BRIGADE) . My Ops Wo would be the one who acts like a father figure, taking care of all the Man and Sgt discipline issues and issueing punish orders for us to 'suffer' and have something moan & groan about, ensuring that our determination to leave army get stronger by the day. Oh yes, that means I learnt determination skill there too. =P In camp, sometimes Yen Ran, Min Hui and myself would engage in mini fighting sessions in our bunk area to practice our Muaythai skills... Punching the hell out of each other until we tire out then we will call it a day. Den we haf Mr Dennis.. our king 'funny man' cum joke king ha. Never fail to make people laugh and always kickass with his Karate skills.. He never fail to impress me with his wit and kicking and fighting skills. Then we haf my goodiest buddy, Peter, a little f***up (in a funny way) at times but is always the one covering up my ass for me when I came up with new 'Stunts' haha.. well atleast he tried his best? But trust me sometimes he is more lor-sor than any aunties you can find out there and always kenna beat up by Dennis, myself and Thomas becoz of that lol... Even the last day we are still beating him hmmm. Sometimes he would go berserk and go kicking and punching us back =p oh well. As for Bracer, he is our Mr Animation in camp and No. 1 anti-ns personal there. Siva, our armskote man, better treat him well or dun ever think of getting your clearance signed when you are going to ord ha. He is a super nice guy who is very optimistic. Prash is our cheetah in the camp... Runs like his life depended on it and always talking abt nutrition until head become so small. Not forgetting Danny, our RP, a good buddy of mine who likes cars and military weapons and system alot. He would share with me those knowledge and teach me a little of his family kungfu that he used in the streets before. Then we haf Terence Chung ha, also a good slacking buddy of mine ha. Goes to gym and always looking at getting his 6 pack up. Lastly , we haf my understudy Nicolas, a Taekwondo blackbelt holder ok...... ha. Not bad for a understudy. He passed his ippt!! Came together with him is YY(Yao Yu) and Quek (another nicolas) . Always enjoy their company and have a good laugh together... =] Let's meet up again sometime soon people! ;) That's all folks! Cheers!

Too much of any one thing is never good. Dont indulge la
For eg.
- Too much vitamin A (beta-carotene) can cause brittle nails, cracked lips and scaly skin.
- Too much vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can cause diarrhoea, kidney stones and skin rashes.
- Too much iron can cause lethargy, nausea, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
See what I mean?
For relationship
- Too demanding and expect too much, hair drop
- Too unreasonable, heart stress
- Too much sex, partner cant catch up..
So, dun indulge la.... Diao LA!!!!!!

Dining at Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant @ Furama
In tune with our 8th month anniversary, I brought dear dear to dine with me at Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant at Furama Riverfront Hotel. Can take bus 123 from Tiong Bahru MRT and alight about four stops later when you see Riverview Hotel. Just cross the bridge and walk ahead and there you have it, Furama Riverfront.
Using Buffetclub membership card which I have I was able to dine 1 for 1 (2 person dine, one person complimentary) at Kintamani at Furama Riverfront or Tiffany at Furama City Centre as these two Hotels are currently having promotions, whereby a Buffetclub member can bring up to 8 guest including him/herself and enjoy 1 for 1 for the 8 people. That would mean only 4 person are chargable for the meal. This promotion last till 31st August!
I waited for dear dear(June baby) at her work place before we headed to Furama together. So while waiting for dear dear as she finishes her last whrisp of work, I called to make an reservation with the restaurant, hee..
When we reach there, we were a little surprised that it wasnt as big as we think it would be but fortunately for us, the food was good and Kintamani was a place that made both of us feel comfortable and relaxed. It served Halal food so my Malay friends if want to try out a decent Buffet, you can give Kintamani a try! We sat down, ate and chat and it was a wonderful night for the both of us.
Took cab and were on our way home after we took our Ice cream desert and fruits section. Home sweet home.....

My dear and I
We have been together for 7months now.... and on the 8th July 2007 is going to be our 8th Month anniversary together... We have really been through alot of ups and downs together... at times I was really unreasonable and even like what many would say, demanding as a bf.. I dunno why.. maybe becoz i think I am worth that amt of 'care' or 'attention'? is it wrong? I hope she dun feel that being with me is something that will become a sort of pain in the butt or whatever, hmm reminds me of the new drink in the market that does not really need much of an advertisement for it to sell well eh?
Nevertheless just my dear dear's luck la, to have me as her bf... rite dear? =P bleah. But still i do my best as to what i can do for her too yeah... contribute when there is a need to, apologise when things get blown out of proportion, pamper when expiry date is due.
She does alot of things for me too... many, too many to list... and is always proud to say, "see, this i also do for you... what haf you done for me? humpt!" yup, like i didnt do anything at all -_- oh well... nobody dun complain when they are in a relationship isnt it. Parts and parcel...
Nevertheless(again)<---- addicted to this word., I would like to thank my dear gal, June sweetie pie Lim HUI JUN =) for her love, support, that she had given me and efforts she put into our relationship... There's nothing more i can ask for really but will continue to ask? :) wad to do, i am a da nan ren de ren.... um below is a picture of us =]
I Love you Honey. *Hugs & Kisses*
