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?

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.
