Zero Fighter

Ever heard of the superb japanese war planes that were used to bomb the crap out of pearl harbour? Those planes that strike terror to the likes of people like me and you if we lived in the 1940s?

Marvelous contraptions aren't they?

Unfortunately in singapore army lingo, Zero-Fighter are those people who can't pull a single pull-up, hence the word Zero.

I'm one of them actually. haha. Couldn't do a single proper pull up all the way. No matter how hard i tried, my hands just won't listen to me. Can't go up even 0.4 percent. blaaa...

I used to tell people i can pull one. Which was 90% true. haha. that is if i started from the 10% mark =P. I would use my feet to touch the ground or support and pull myself up. And this is with the undergraft grip.

Well i'm proud to say that I'm no longer a Zero Fighter!

Yes! I'm now officially a Two Fighter!

I found out last week when i was trying to attempt pulling a overgraft grip. And i did 1! I was so surprised that i kept on doing the entire day. haha

The next day i decided to do a 2nd one and i did!

Wooooo!

Oh and i'm 21 finally =D

Back from China

Ah! Finally back!

Clean air! Proper roads! Normal looking buildings! Expensive stuff! English! I've returned!

Spent a total of 9 days 8 nights at China in various places namely, Shanghai, Su Zhou, Wu Zhen, Hang Zhou, Nan Jing, Wu Xi.

Went with my Mum and dad, and my mum's sisters' families. So a total of 9 on our side, along with 18 other people, We form the "Sino-America Spectacular Jiangnan Tour Group"

I didn't make that name up. I don't know whether its an official name also lol. I got it off the itinerary.

Took a total of 527 photos over at Shanghai and i shall spend the next few days uploading them to facebook and some to here.

The initial plan was to write one complete entry on my entire trip tomorrow, but as i couldn't take off tomorrow, i can only do so much in one night. So i decided to split the entries to a few. This allows me to think and recap as well. Hopefully i can remember a lot =X

Well anyway, for those who were wondering, " What about your diet!? Lose weight? Go china? haha lose weight haha. gain more likely."
I was afraid of that as well.

I took my weight on monday morning after gym, before leaving for the airport.

72.5Kg and 30.6% TBF. Woo! Lost 0.5kg and =<>

ok i'm having some problems uploading them to blogger. So i guess its a pictureless entry for now.

Shanghai

Gonna fly off to Shanghai tomorrow afternoon. Sinful trip. Gonna gain back all the lost weight =X

Anyway, Finally finished my 4 alternate duties for this month. And i've settle the issue on where to eat.

Gonna eat at The magic of chongqing hotpot in tanglin.

Shall update when i'm back. tata~

awww babies...

Hmm 2nd post today.

Been watching Cheaper by the Dozen 2 on Ch 5 and the advertisements.

Then i saw one advertisement about the zoo. Where this small little girl asks her father an impossible number of questions that a normal person can't possibly answer.

"Why is it's neck so long? Why is it's nose so long?" etc. etc. etc.

The advertisement was not bad. Showcased the activities that you can do in the zoo... the animals you can see... the new attractions that are in the zoo. I mean. Since when was there a boat ride in the zoo?

Pardon me haha but the last time i've been to the zoo was probably... primary 4? or somewhere around there.
Thats like at least 10 effing years!

Tell me when's the last time you've been to the zoo? SJ? Brandon? ah brandon probably went with his many gullible 14 years old mei mei(s). haha.

Well unless people like going there for dates or whatever, good for them. Unlike them i have been single for quite a while. and its weird to ask a group of guys to see giraffes and kangeroos.

"Hey guys lets go see the cute monkeys and feed them our juicy bananas!"

Probably not.

The advertisement ended off nicely with the little girl tired and asking for the father to carry her.

The father dotingly obliged. Aww...

That probably is in everybody's mind when they saw that image.

Well a loving and normal father would probably do that for any of his children. Lets think back of the times when we were young.

Don't we all love to be craddled by our mum and dad? Don't we all love the feeling of sleeping on the couch and waking up in your own bed with the blanket covering ur body all cozy. ah parental love. We love our parents don't we? =D

Remember how we would ask to sit on our fathers' shoulders so that we could see everything and feel on top of the world? Then they will hold our arms and swing it like our arms are connected to our body not by bones and joints but like wood and ropes?

All the while we were having a roller coaster ride and even after it we would continuosly ask for it again, again, again!

But we didn't realise all the while our parents were literally letting a couple of rice sacks riding on their shoulders.

I'm not sure about you but i was fat. And i loved to be carried around. Who wants to walk when u can be carried? =D

And i was heavy. I used to ask for my dad and mum to carry me around, carry me on their shoulders, piggy back me, you name it, i tried it.

I wonder where do parents find the strength to do all this stuff. Issit because of love? Issit because we are their own flesh and blood and thats why somehow our weight in their hands defies the laws of physics and everything negates to zero?

I mean come on!

Back in secondary school, i'm sure everybody went through this, during those ridiculous P.E sessions, where the insane P.E teachers hands you a remarkable and yet simple equipment which everybody remembers and hate.

I introduce to you:


The Medicine Ball.

I've always wonder whats inside the Medicine ball. Issit really medicine? lol How can medicine ball weigh so much? and why issit called a medicine ball in the first place? it has nothing to do with drugs i think?

Yea anyway, our P.E teacher would tell us to carry one, usually 3kg for girls and 5kg for guys, and run up staircase A to level 3, run across the corridor, down staircase B to lvl 2, around the hall, down staircase C to the carpark, back of canteen, back of workshop, basketball court and back to starting point. All under 3mins. And we were suppose to do it 3 or 4 times within that painfully slow 30mins of hell.

OK i exaggerated a little. But then we died. DIED. Just carrying a round ball of 3kg/5kg weight and run around for 15mins. Our parents carried us, piggy bagged us the whole day and they don't complain to us how tired they are. They would always smile and pick you and your bloody 20-40kg body up.

In the army. A M16 weighs roughly 3kg? A Full field pack around 10kg and with the sbo probably a bit more. Once again we died. We hated route march and SOC. We hated carrying the bags+gun+sbo combo and do all sort of stuff. Oh i forgot. The effing helmet. We hated wearing the helmet and slinging the rifle while building basha however you spell it. Even though i'm sure the helmet probably weighs less than 1/10 of a healthy baby.

So, be grateful to your parents. The amount of love they gave, time they sacrificed, money they wasted, bringing us up to whoever we are today. Don't waste it by going to smoke, forcefully inflict trauma to your liver by drinking excessively, wasting your parents hard earn money by gambling and losing $20 on soccer every single day, every single match, and risking your parent's flesh and blood by contracting AIDS and what not by going to whores.

Of course, people who actually did all that probably won't be reading my blog anyway. Too damn stupid to do so.

Man don't cry. Shortlisted.

I'm not a person who watch a lot of tv.

So when people ask me whether i watch this or that show that is showing at this time this channel etc, my answered would usually be, "No."

Well unless its the channel that my parents watch.

Been watching, no stealing glimpses, a show on SCV that's on every weekday night and on certain time belts in the weekend showing repeats. Its called Man Don't Cry or in chinese, Jian Ren Jian. Not bad. Not that i'm recommending it to people but then its not bad. haha

Ok after doing some research on my own and input from some friends, i've sort of short listed a couple of places to go to for my dinner. on my birthday.

1) Azabu Sabo - Central, Clarke Quay
2) Coffee Club - Central, Clarke Quay
3) Ma Maison - Central, Clarke Quay
4) Tao's Modern Pacific Cuisine - Paradiz Centre, Seleie Road
5) Fish And Co The Glass House - Park Mall, Penang Road
6) Curry Favor - Velocity, Novena
7) Orchidville New Forrest Restaurant - Mandai Agrotechnology Park, Lorong Lada Hitam
8) and the restaurant that brandon had his.

Haha obviously out of the 8, the least i wanna go is the last. Not that i don't like it, but i thought it would be better to try something new. But if non of them are feasible, that would suffice.

Hmm of the rest of the 7, I'm inclined to Tao's, Forrest if that is really what wayne was referring to, and Azabu Sabo.

Well my friends have no preference. Neither do i. Help!

tired

Went to gym after leaving camp just now.

Today's result?

Well, i think i improved a little bit.

Firstly i did squats. 2x17.5kg seemed manageable now. Gonna increase to 2x20kg next week.

Bench Press: Did 3sets of 8 and 2 sets of 6 of 2x7.5kg. need to work more in this area.

Dead Lift: Same as squats.

Pull up: Still sucky lol.

I think because i drank 2 cans of coffee before going to gym. Maybe thats why the squats was easier. Didn't feel as much strain as on tuesday.

Damn shagged now.

suggestion

I need some suggestions for places to go for a nice dinner with a couple of friends on a saturday night.

Please don't tell me hawker centre or something haha.

The cuisine type could be anything. Just need some options for now.

Please put something on the chat box people! Whoever reads this anyway!

Deleted my previous entry. Thought it was crap.

Went to gym on Tuesday morning. Reached the place at around 9, hoping that the gym would be empty, considering that its a weekday and its so damn bloody early. But wah. Its quite crowded.

Oh well, the only equipments i need are the squat rack, inclined bench press and the pull up machine.

And usually i start off with a set of squats then followed by bench press and alternate between sets.

On that day however, the bench press was occupied by 2 china guys. So i decided to make do with what i could get my hands on, and that was the squat rack.

I thought that the 2 would probably be done by the time i finish with the squats and so i started my work out.

The previous session i had problem with doing 5 sets of 8 with 15kg on each side of the bar bell mainly i think because i slacked off for a week and didn't go to gym haha. So i aimed to do a little better that day.

I warmed up with 2x5kg and then changed it to 2x15kg for the actual sets. I did 1 set of that and decided to increase 2.5kg to each side and followed through to the last set. With squats done, i moved on to the incline bench press. The 2 china guys were gone and so i had the whole thing to myself haha.

Wanted to try another way of lifting. So i warmed up with 2x1.25kg and then changed to 2x6.25kg as i previously left it. I did 6 reps and then with each set, I added 1.25kg to each side. So by the end of the 6th set i was doing 2x8.75kg. Wait. Calculate the math and you might wonder why after doing 6 i'm still at 8.75kg. haha thats because i was dying by the 4th and 5th set and so i decided to do 2 sets of 7.5 and 2 sets of 8.75. haha i think the next session i've got to try harder.

Went for a short break and then i moved on to the dead lift and pull up regime. this time nobody was occupying the pull up machine and so i took my own time to complete the sets. Started with dead lift with 2x5kg for warm up and then i added to 2x17.5kg. I was doing 2x15kg previously and so i decided to increase a lil bit. the extra 5kg proved to be a strain intitally. But after the initial few sets i just wanted to finish the whole damn thing and so pulled it through. haha. For the pull up, i did 5 sets of 8. With each set decreasing the amount of weight by 1. Not 1kg but 1 something. I'm not exactly sure whats the weight of one of the bars. So yea that sort of concludes my tuesday gym session.

While i was doing my chin up, 2 girls who just entered the gym were stretching and then one of them wore super short pants. I'm pretty sure they weren't tights. Hot pants definitely. Multi-colored striped hot pants. haha. Then when she stretched, her pants wrapped around her butt cheeks so tightly like its gonna tear the pants. haha.

Nvm, i continued with my chin ups and then the 2 girls went to the machine where its suppose to be a machine to work the thighs, and you are suppose to push the platform forward and then retract. something like that. so they alternate that and another exercise, involving weights to work the back muscles and they have to bend down while doing that.

So while the hot pants girl was doing the exercise, got this 2 indian guys were just staring generally into their direction, enjoying the view haha. they just sat at the bicep curl and quad machine on the other side the whole way and stared. lol.

I think sometimes this type of girls purposely wear like that. Perhaps they like the attention they draw. If they get molested or raped someday i think they asked for it haha.

I took off on that day to go gym in the morning as well as to meet up with SJ in the afternoon for lunch. Was suppose to be dinner but i found out somebody wanted to watch tv at night so decided to shift it to afternoon instead. Luckily i did duty on saturday and that i used the off as well.

We went to the Curry Favor at stamford. This was the 2nd time i've been there. The previous time i ordered Cheese Katsu, basically its cheese wrapped in pork and deep fried like tempura. It was heavenly haha. I thought i try something else this time. So i ordered Rosu Katsu rice. And it was a set lunch so the entire meal cost me 12.90 only. SJ ordered Chicken Katsu set and then i asked to add cheese sticks. the cheese sticks cost 7.90 and we were joking initially what if it came as just 3 sticks. or even worst, 1 big stick. haha. But it didn't to our delight. I ordered ice tea for the drinks and she followed suit. When it came, someone regretted cos she thought its was iced lemon tea. haha.

Yea on the food. The Rosu Katsu i had was fantastic. I can't describe the taste. You have to try it yourself. If you think japanese food is like NP canteen 1 jap store or canteen 4 jap store, i seriously think you should go down to curry favor and try. lol

The cheese stick was damn nice i thought. Its really cheese. Not like that fake ones in burger king. This one the cheese is like those cheese in the cheese pancakes sold by Mr. Bean if you all know what it is. Deep fried. Woooooo~

It was quite cheap, considering that the servings were quite big. Aiya never take any pictures of the place and the food!

oh well. Yea then after that walk walk talk talk around that area. Went to the candy empire in Millenia Walk and then somebody made me buy the Hershey's peanut butter chocolate something so that she won't feel guilty buying it.

Then we went off after that. Some uncle in marina square was trying to give us pamphlets of some bridal store and then asked SJ is she still a student or something lol.

I'm not that worried i gained weight that day. Why? While firstly, i went to gym in the morning. 2ndly, i ate soul garden once with anna and gang and look where i am now? Off days are a necessity. Especially for me. So don't nag at me for not sticking to my diet or something. You try eating and living the way i am now before you start commenting.

And lock. I tried flaxseed mix in cold water. It tasted like vomit. HOW CAN A SANE PERSON POSSIBLY DUNK IT DOWN THE THROAT? OUR BODY JUST ISN'T MEANT FOR DRINKING POISON!

Bleah. The thought of it made my throat itchy.

err

Jonathan was commenting on me knowing so many girls. Not that he's drooling or something.

Lol.

Whats the use of knowing so many girls when i'm not interested in MOST of them and NONE of them is interested in me?

Yea.

So KC just told me he's gonna accept UQ and asked me to keep him in the loop. So its just jonathan. Aussie is down so better pay the school fees before it rise haha.

Hmm this week has been another sinful week for me. Not in terms of eating. But in terms of going to gym.

There are 2 things i blame.

1. I didn't have any weekday duty this week. So no 2hr off. So i'm too lazy to go to gym at night.

2. The bloody xbox and ninja gaiden. Took me the entire week to finish. Damn it was difficult. But finally finished it last night. Woohoo. yea was engrossed with it and didn't want to do anything else.

Good thing is that Tuesday had gym for RT and i just did whatever i could in the gym in camp. Pretty restricted but aiya heck it. this sunday i'm going to go back to the routine. No more xbox to entice me anyway lol

ok on other stuff that happened.

Went to the KSS SJAB 10 year anniversary thingy on saturday. Held in the school hall. Thought it would be fun to go back and catch up with the rest of the peeps. Since i'd not seen most of them for nearly 5 years.

Took some photos. I think i look slouchy in the pictures =x. Issit the shirt or issit just me?

From left: Choon Kiat, Kenneth, Me, Shi Xian, Sheryl, Liwen, MCS, Ong

From Left: Kenneth, Ong, MCS, Nurul, Rai, Me, Chin Chuan, Wei Wen

From Left: MCS, Kenneth, Chin Chuan, Me, Wei Wen, Xiang Fa, Ong

All in all. 2 words. Wu Liao. Which means boring.

I was utterly bored that day. The video slide show was freaking long. With lots of inside jokes which i thought majority of people wouldn't find funny.

The Event was a bit awkward. Considering that majority of the people i know are in the organizing committee and i'm not helping in anyway, so i was left to entertain myself.

The only other person i probably talk to more is chin chuan, but thats because i sat beside him. I had no idea who sat on the other side. Brandon didn't go. !@%$#

Yea. Bored.

Lol.

Didn't do much on sunday. Was too engrossed with my xbox lol.

I want to go K. Damn why all buay on one.

pain

I was right. My Mouth is in pain. Lots of pain.

Congrats to Abhi and Lock for ORD!

Problem

There seems to be a bit of a problem.

I can't lift 7.5kg for bench press. Hmm

As in i can't complete 4 proper sets with it. Maybe i should try with lesser weight first.

Or do 4 sets of 12 of 5kg first.

My squats and dead lift are doing fine.

Think i got the posture for dead lift correctly already.

Chin-up is still a problem. Sian.

Another problem. I tried to eat properly over the weekend. But saturday, i met up with anna and all for seoul garden. yes.

SEOUL GARDEN. Sinful yes. I tried to eat healthily the entire day though. I went to the gym in the morning as well. But i downed 6 scoops of ice cream at the place. Haha oh well. Its been quite a long time since i last touch an ice cream okayyyy.

Sunday was initially going to be alright. I was suppose to meet joel and the rest at bishan gym. Just before i move off, i thought i had better get my 2nd meal. Then i realised the fridge was empty. Damn. Settle with corn.

Then picked up my parents from taman jurong and had ipoh hor fun there. sinful yes. Screw it. Shall work hard this coming week. And lucky for me, tuesday i'm going for dental. Dentist gonna put in some stuff. I predict will be in so much pain i won't be eating much.

Dad going to genting again on wednesday night. So that means i can drive to camp on thursday and friday. And since i have duty on friday, i can drive home straight on saturday morning. haha.

ok to explain what i meant when i said kwan said things that abhi and lock disagree with, it's basically things like:

-Find a girl and if it last, she would be a potential wife.

That alone isn't what abhi and lock wants.

-1 girl only.

Again.

-Decent girls. Good natured, smart, pretty, everything nice.

Lock and abhi just want HOT girls. Doesn't matters if she's a bimbo. Boobs and butts baby!

Well thats basically it haha. At least what i remembered anyway.

Hmm I'm somewhat like kwan i guess. But i know things don't happen if we don't try.

No point asking friends for help. They WON'T help.

Haha.

Abhi has an interesting theory which happens to be quite true.

Pick any girl that you potentially like.

Smart.

Pretty.

Single.

Choose 2 out of the 3. haha

If she's Smart and Pretty, She's taken.

If she's Smart and Single, She's ugly.

If she's Pretty and Single, She's stupid.

Sums it all up doesn't it? haha

Oh yea i realised the bags i mentioned cost like 170 SGD. Goodness. Guess i need to re-evaluate.

Hmm

I want a new bag.

A crumpler bag.

Something like this.

Fux Deluxe US$125.00

Or

Hee-goer US$130.00

My bag stinks.

Like rotten vegetables.

Spinach actually. Lol. Cos i sorta accidentally spilled abit of sauce that was witht eh spinach into the inside of the bag. And all i did was soak the bag in detergent and rinse and dry it. Probably still has traces of the "juice" in the bag. Ah.

Hmm on other notes.

Salad and Yogurt. DO NOT GO TOGETHER.

Sure it looked nice and smelled nice. Sour and sweet. Like Thousand island?

Nothing like it. Almost vomited while eating it.

Borrowed 2 games from liang today. Ninja gaiden and Jade empire.

Played Ninja gaiden. >.<

The 2nd boss took 3 or 4 tries for me. Damn why no "Whos your daddy" mode.

Ok duty wise.

Did duty with 2 new guys on tuesday. Kwan, one of the new guys, was just talking to me about girls and stuff. Saying everything that Abhi and Lock opposes lol. Stuff i used to think about. I'm glad. I'm not the only person who thinks like that. haha. Though i know that it isn't that easy. haha.

Been a failure in this so far so i can't give much of a comment or advice or whatsoever. But he's a bit naive about stuff like this? I sorta know what kind of person i become when i like somebody but its hard to control when things like this are just part of your instincts. They control everything from there on and then everything crashes down. Oh well. Good Luck Kelvin!

Clubbing

I found a perfect example of how i feel towards clubbing.

Clubbing is like Smoking.

I do not need to try smoking to know that i won't like it.

=D

ok on other matters.

Went to Yishun SAFRA's gym just now with jon. Lol was so sua ku that we didn't know where the lockers were and then we were trying to open shoe lockers with the key they gave us.

The key is suppose to be used for the lockers in the changing room but then we were fumbling over at the lockers outside haha. Trying to stick the key inside while mumbling profanities.

Then the locker i was trying to open, opened. Inside was full. Shoes, soap and lots of crap filled the entire locker. Then i thought must be left behind by the previous person so i took out everything and went on to put in my stuff.

Haha Jon went to exchange the key for the 2nd time and the receptionist was a bit suspicious why our locker key don't work. Then she realise we were using the wrong lockers after all lol.

Damn hilarious. Like 2 gundus trying to break open a vault.

But overall the gym was alright. just that i prefer the woodlands gym. There are alot of machines in the gym but the space was quite tight. Not much movement space. And the machines i was hoping to use, wasn't there. So i sorta improvised haha.

Well i'm joining lock and abhi and the rest at TCC clarke quay for coffee/supper after i fetch my parents to golden mile for their genting trip. I'm not going to club. I don't intend to.

Going to gym again on saturday and sunday. Going to try to do the sets properly.

Added 5kg to everything i lifted. Jia you!

Geni(o)us

Haha i spelt genius wrongly twice in my previous entry. Spelt it with an O in the middle.

Still sounds the same but its a spelling mistake.

Ok.

First thing first. I dun think my weight is going down. LOL

Is that bad or what.

But then my body fat % dropped o.o

My current weight is 74kg.

A few days ago i measured my body fat % as 32.7%.

Now its 31.6%.

But my weight still remains the same. weirrrd.

Well, been playing Sudeki on XBOX over the weekend. And now like almost completing so my drive to play it diminished haha.

Fun game. But a bit tedious sometimes. Run here run there. Then not enough space to hold pots. Then not enough pots. Overall not a bad game. I give it 7/10.

-1 for the potting problem.

-1 for the not being able to warp around more efficiently problem.

-1 for not being to play after completing the game(assuming)

My army friends tried persuading me to go clubbing this friday.

I've never been to clubbing and i don't intend on doing so.

Why? I'm not sure.

I'm not afraid of those kind of places. I don't have any phobia related to them.

I just don't like this kind of places.

You can say that i have a narrow mind and i tend to judge things before i experience them myself. Can say that i don't have the right to comment on how bad or how sick the experience will be since i never experience it myself beforehand.

But i guess that are somethings in life that does not require any firsthand experience and you know that you won't like it?

All the bullshit about, "oh my friend/I used to hate this kind of places as well. But after i brought him/i went myself once, he/i was hooked to it and is now a clubbing addict."

I don't take any of that crap. I won't and i will never be like that. This is me.

I'm a stubborn person. And when i'm quite sure i'm right about some stuff, I'm right about some stuff. Especially with things that has got to do with the way how i think and feel.

Generally you can say i'm a boring person if you are into clubbing, drinking, smoking, gambling etc. Cos i'm not into any one of those.

Go to club listen to music? Who goes to club and concentrate on the music actually? You just get high from the intoxication from all the booze and dance while trying to find a girl to grind and make yourself shiok for the next 10mins or so.

I'm not that kind of person. I'm not gay. I just don't like. Simple as that.

Update

Ok a couple of things to update.

Several things happened over the weekend.

1st. Friday night went to gym. Man it was packed. I'm not going to gym at 7pm again. Probably try 9pm this week.

2nd. Saturday morning.

My army friends came over to my house for steamboat. Since i decided to have my off day that day. I didn't really pay attention to what i ate. except that i didn't eat that much.

My god! The soup is sooo oily! Where got people put taiwanese sausage into steamboat one? And dunno which genius bought 10 packets of those "jin zhen gu"

And Best. some china dude bought vegetarian stuff. ... all the soy and starch. No wonder i was easily fulled. And some guy go and put in some many ham. No wonder the soup so oily la!

ok that aside, i was quite busy that day. Busy being a good host haha. Running here and there and thats why i wasn't in a lot of pictures.

The steamboat ended around 3pm and those genious put all the left overs into my fridge without me knowing. Lol until my mum open the fridge then i know.

After that i left house to meet up with anna and all to chill.

Suppose to meet at bugis at 6pm but i left house early. So i thought might as well go for a slow drive. Decided to go via ECP. So i happily drive up SLE and TPE.

And along the way i saw a sign. [ TO KPE(ECP) ]

Eh haha. Being a genious, i decided to drive there and test out the feeling of driving in the new tunnel. Hmm Not bad. Except for the entrance where there is a huge warning banner thingy that says 'turn on your radio' and the color was like bright orange.

I couldn't see what it was until i was a few metres away from it. Almost lost control of my car because of that.

I wanted to exit on ECP. So i drove and drove. Sticking to the 70km/h limit. Not bad.

Then i saw a sims avenue exit and so i decided to take it. Yikes wrong exit. Paid 2.50 ERP =X.

But Hey i reached Suntec City. Since i was still early, decided to go to carrefour to do some grocery shopping.

And Tada! Finally found the Quinoa (Pronounced Qwee-Wah). Its a sort of seed that is said to be extremely healthy and is a very good substitute for rice cos there is no gluten.

The stinking seeds cost me 10 bucks for just like the size of a pencil box. 10 Stinking dollars. For a pencil box. Think $10 can buy be a sack, no 2 sacks of rice. 10 dollars for 1/10th the size of a regular 10kg rice sack. Damn.

Oh when i said stinking seeds, i really mean stinking seeds. When i cooked it, the smell reminded me of those chinese herbal tea, yang sheng or ren sheng whatever it is. And I Hate that smell.

Despite the smell, decided the at least taste it. For one thing, it does actually taste like rice. texture wise anyway. The lingering something-sheng smell is extremely strong and irritating. But when i mixed it with soup, chili and other stuff the smell went away. haha.

Ok back to saturday. Met up with Anna, Huiting and Jia Qing where they were plucking their eyebrows. huiting keep psycho-ing me to pluck mine but i insisted that i like natural haha.

Went to a seafood restaurant by jack's place to have our dinner. So so only.

Then went to mind's cafe to play and wait for ron. When we reached the boat quay mind's cafe, we realised that we could have gone to the one on princep street. Which was like a 5min walk away from where we were, bugis junction. Damn. Oh well. Haha had an enjoyable time there and then i decided to go home while they wanted to meet up with hazel and chill a lil more. Drove them to some place in tanjong pagar i think. or issit tiong baru. Ah whatever. Somewhere near chinatown and then drove home.

Sunday Duty.

Monday went home and took out my xbox and played Fable: Lost Chapters and i'm hooked haha. I like using fireball and bust things up.

Tuesday took off and went to ICA to collect passport. needed to wait 107 names before my turn. Was almost tempted to eat nasi lemak lol. but no i curbed myself.

Met up with Lock at YCK station and we went for a gym session at the gym there. Damn shagged. Argh. ARGGH. Whats wrong with my dead lift? damn.

Need to practise infront of mirror more.

And Ah hA! I found a fast food i can eat!

Mos Burger!

The Natsumi burger series. Haha bought a Natsumi beef burger without the sauce which i suppose was either mayo or tartar or thousand island dressing. And that stinking burger cost me 3.50 dollars. Price to pay to be healthy. But Even the beef patty wasn't exactly healthy. a bit too oily. But heck la. After a shagged out session with lock, i couldn't think of anything else.

Well, ate the 6 meals today again. Ok 1st thing first. Flaxseed is suppose to taste erm... nutty? but it doesn't. It has. NO. Taste. DRY. and. NO. Taste.

It doesn't go with a dry salad. It makes it even dry-er. the salad was horrible today. Don't have any lemon at home to make a decent dressing. Guess need to start buying soon.

Now i'm deciding should i drink coke zero or not.

I feel like a drug addict. LOL Having withdrawal symptoms for not drinking coke. Ah! Coke zeros in my storeroom! Stop Tempting me!

Personality test

Went to take the test thats on Heng's blog. haha
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

These are the results:

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

Yes i'm intelligent. Wahahaha.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Very true. Not that looks aren't important. But i'm attracted to people who are nice to me naturally haha.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

Yea guess so.

The seriousness of your love:
You have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Sensible? I think i'm a failure in this. I'm definitely NOT straightforward lol.

Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

Now this is something i disagree. I think education is one of the most important things in life. I don't want to work. I want to playyyyyyyy!

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

Not sure about this... but yea guess so.

How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

Half true. The 2nd part is definitely true. But i'm a man of reasonably high ambitions lol.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

o.o I'm shocked. LOL. This is quite accurate.

Who is your true self:
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

Bingo! Exactly what i think.

Haha surprising how 9 unrelated questions and tell so much.

Go try it!

Current Weight: Should be 74.5kg or 74kg.

Think after the next gym session, i will increase the weight of the weights i'm using. Prolly add a bit more.

Its getting hard...

Finished duty today.

Oh god. Its getting hard.

Gym sessions are fine. I'm actually enjoying it haha. As compared to jogging cos it gets boring after like 2 times. But in gyms i actually know what to do. Sort of have short term aims each time. Unlike running which is just aimlessly running.

Why issit getting hard?

Eating close to tasteless food everyday. Feeling full of gas the entire day. Recurrent burping and farting. Paranoid about every single thing that enters my mouth. Paranoid about what to do the day after. No much results after 1 and a half weeks. Damn.

I can't even drink a cup of coffee with peace now.

An endless battle within the confines of my skull rages throughout the day.

"Coffee is full of sugar! Sugar = Carbo! Carbo = Calories!"

Damn.

Wanted to give up today. Stood up suddenly and dragged Abhilash to emart.

I bought a time out bar(Chocolate) and started munching on it. Decided there and then that enough is enough. I shall not torture myself this way.

A person is born to this world to enjoy and appreciate everything around him.

Food is not to be feared. Its to be eaten in pleasure.

I don't care if i grow fat and die.

We die eventually.

Why should we subject ourselves to such pain!? We should just eat everything and anything we want! We only get to live this once!

That was pretty much in my head from 12pm. Till around 3pm.

Wanted to tell my mum that i want to give up. But then, I guess sometimes i just need a break.

Throughout the day i was quite annoyed and frustrated about everything.

Had rice for the 1st time in 1 and a half weeks. Honestly i thought i missed it. But on the contrary, lol didn't feel anything.

Now i'm motivated once again, lol to try again. Like lock said, i barely even started.

But then i guess my meals were a bit too hard-cored. I was too strict on myself. I was following a meal plan made for body builders. I'm a chunk of meat. Fatty Meat. I need to give myself some time before i adapt.

Its like smoking. It takes time to quit. Not that i'm quitting. lol. But i've decided to review my meal plans again. Maybe allowing some breathing space for myself here and there.

Decided to go with preparing 3 meals tomorrow.

1st meal: Cereal

2nd meal: Boiled Brocoli with some meat.

3rd meal: SFI. if not, then probably Another serving of brocoli.

4th meal: Sandwich. Gonna make it in camp since my loaf of wholemeal bread is there. Using the veg from the salad i'm bringing.

5th meal: Salad.

6th meal: Whatever mom's gonna cook.

After that, i'm hitting saturday. Gonna have steamboat =D and dinner with anna and gang. and then COFFEE!

Hmm on more casual note, I've got a couple of things i need to do over this weekend.

1. Wash my bag. Its smells of spinach now.

2. Buy a new case for my ipod. It smells of sweat now.

3. Buy quinoa. Sort of like a rice substitute.

4. Buy strings for my guitar. Don't like how it sounds now.

5. Make a new vinaigrette and also grind my flaxxseed. As well as finding fenugrade seeds.

Duty-ing on Sunday. And i have no idea how long i can last.

Oh. One reason why i was very frustrated was because my weight was stagnant for a while.

Then no results and i'm doing so much. Sadded.

Ah Kee said my chin looks sharper lol. I assumed he's just saying it to comfort me.

But somehow that sentence brought back my motivation lol.

Cheater!

Lol I'm so sorry to myself.

I cheated today lol. Well mainly cos i slept in the most of my afternoon. Why?

I think i had a sleep debt since friday.

Friday i had duty, Saturday i went out the whole day till 3am. Then today i went to Bai Bai . So i decided to sleep at 11.30am to freshen up myself for my meet up with my army friends at 2pm.

But my friend smsed me and said that he has visitors to his house and thus not going anymore.

Haha seeing that message, my sleep mechanism kicked in lol. The next moment i knew, it was 7.30pm. I intended to just continue sleeping but i was hungry lol.

Hmm so what did i eat? I ate ampang yong tau foo haha. Minus the fried stuff haha.

Yummy. ok tomorrow's meals are settled.

Lets talk about saturday =D

I went to gym and did 4 exercises. Squats, Chest Press(?), Assisted chin up and Dead lift.

haha had some advice from Zack, a new friend i made in gym for my dead lift and now my ENTIRE body aches. Lol. Aching is good! I will be stronger.

My meals were pretty alright till my 5th and 6th.

I went to NP LSCT's alumni gathering in the evening with a couple of friends and MY GOD! The Performance was HORRIBLE. The food was TERRIBLE. In overall it was a lousy event.

Haha we left at around 8 and i decided to join another group of friends to have a cup of coffee. But ended up i wanted to eat my 6th meal and thus we went to food republic when i had a small bowl of yong tau foo and we went to indochine after that.

Sat outside and i ordered 1st a cup of orange juice and then a cup of coffee. I should have ordered 2 cups of coffee. Cos the coffee was half the price of the orange juice >.< My friends ordered beer and mocktails and champagne while i sat there drinking orange juice and coffee. Severely overpriced orange juice and coffee. The very one thing i said i would never do. oh well haha.

We started crapping and talking randomly until the topic of Master Koh(?) came up. While this master koh reads palm and stuff and always appear in nus science canteen during bazaars. My 3 friends went to see him before and were sharing their own experiences. Then hazel asked me 1 question about something and then she concluded that my personality is exactly like her mum's.

Lol then she started listing several traits of her mum and i was shocked.

These are the stuff that i thought only i would know about myself.

Lol I can't say that i was happy or not happy when i found out so much. Why? To be honest, i was quite bothered by it. I dunno why but i wasn't comfortable with so much of myself being displayed and listed out by her like a platter of sashimi spread. But i kept asking her what's her mum like. And the more i know, the more i wanted to know. lol. I couldn't stop asking whats her mum was like. It was quite fascinating. But then when i was alone afterwards, i felt disturbed. Dunno why. Just uneasy.

Oh well. Weight loss!
