my resolve is a fortress what about yours
Pretty impossible to sleep before 10pm on training days haha sian.
Actually I just wanna be glued to this screen a littleeeee longer :P
Words of wisdom, hit me like a bolt of lightning to a conductor. Could never ask for a better friend :)
I'm still failing at doing the planche, I can't hold for more than half a second even with my legs curled up zz.
Seated iron cross is improving! Yeah I think that's what it's called. The side-flutter kicking I was doing during statics. I'm a little more desperate to get my lower abs out because... zhongy's one is protruding like his ______. Yeah I meant biceps xD
Zachary you better get some sleep tonight! SOME, not a little, okay?!
The little commotion on the bus. My gut feeling told me something was amiss, maybe I've watched too many horror/gore movies. I couldn't just stand there and do nothing. Well actually I did pretty much nothing LOL zz.
Isaac... his foundation was like a little tenuous cloud since the start. Dissipated at a mere gust of strong wind. Surprisingly, I was surprised. I wonder how many times he thought it through. Then again, there are other contributing factors I can venture a guess about. Unresolvable feuds, conscience, unwillingness to be shamed, Harmoc as a springboard for much more meaningful things in life, fear.
And there's nothing we can do.
Which reiterates my point. It's all up to the individual.
You're right.
I. NEED. DRIVE.
I need to hold the wheel and drive.
I need to want this badly.
These scales of discontent shall see me through the rough waters.

self-tank
Sometimes we are so bent on hurting others
It hurts ourselves even more
Muahaha 7.5 hours of sleep. I'M A TANK NOW.

eat, sleep, be siao :D
So I got a Blackberry without a data plan because my parents are hardcore neo-luddites zz. I'm not complaining and in fact I'm rather thankful :)
So I skipped dinner and WAIT before you judge let me tell you what I had today:
9 slices of corn bread
Milo
Chicken Parmesan bread
Cranberry Cheese bread
Chocolate Cheese bread
2x Pocky chocolate hazelnut
Yam Bread
Mango Pudding
Chocolate ice cream
... Well yeah I feel fuller than if I'd eaten LOL. And the three exotic breads came from Breadtalk omg so delicious~
Rarr need to burn off those cals but I'm tired.
Zhongy and zachary keep telling me they sleep at 3am but why am I the one falling asleep in lectures and lessons wth! Maybe it's sheer willpower. Yeah I've to admit I'm rather easy-going on myself during econs lecture, but in chem lecture I try much harder! I tried focusing all my qi into 5 minutes and the steam ran out in 20 seconds LOL. I mean...
HOW DO YOU DO IT!? It just comes like a scythe! It decapitates you even before you realize it! One moment I'm telling myself not to sleep and it comes at that moment lolwtf.
Solution: SLEEP AT 9.30PM SHARP HEHE YOU SAD PEOPLE >D

a little early
As expected, 17:26.5 came along with a price tag.
I thought I executed my progressive training plan flawlessly. 2 rounds, 4 rounds, 4 rounds, 6 rounds (nothing up till here), 10 rounds, with rest in between.
I don't know if I'll ever break out from this perpetually crippling cycle. If I can't, I will be very very tired.
On the bright side I was 8 seconds away from sub-10 at the 2.4km mark :)
It's not even 5pm yet! This must be the earliest I've been home in MONTHS. Well, of course there's a catch otherwise I'd still be pumping iron in the gym...
My dad's gonna bring me to renew phone contract... and get new phone!!
I was thinking about trying out the Blackberry. Too often I find myself getting exasperated from typing smses on a touchscreen keyboard because the intention tremors (in the technical sense) make me mistype over and over.

note to self
It seems as though the world is imploding, crumbling.
All the more reason to face every tomorrow with fortitude.
Actually I'm slightly overexaggerating but ah well.
4km morning run
The camera's nonexistent autofocus failed in my trembling hands. I guess I must have been shaking pretty badly, at the final 100m mark I was prepared to... never mind haha it's a miracle my stomach didn't regurgitate the two slices of chocolate bread I had for breakfast. Haiz corollaries of not running 4km for too long. At least I won't get lapped by zachary anymore :D
---------------------------------------------------------------
When zachary and joshua left for discussion with mr ong (tell me how it went!) I was rather lost as to how to conduct secondary post training. Sorry for the momentary disorientation :X
Well sometimes you just gotta take things into your own hands and not just 守株待兔 and wait for a godsend miracle because by experience it never happens. Time heals all wounds but time waits for no man (pretty counterintuitive idioms there) so just heck time and do things yourself. Make a move already! Yeah like quick Solo go shower and sleep by 10pm...
On that note, I've never seen any compromise between sleep and quality of day, and no one's gonna convince me anytime soon :P
The recent string of NSmen deaths has incited lots of vehement emotions against the Ministry of Defence.
My take is that the death of a few men is a tragedy. Nothing more. What did you expect, there's surely going to be some form of casualty when you have to spend two years of your prime roughing it out. Might be callous and insensitive but technically speaking it's just a negligible statistic in a greater scheme of things. Of course, something's wrong if it progresses.
I see people posting on Facebook to take care and count our blessings and all that. You should have known earlier, people. By the time a stimulus comes knocking on the front door, more often than not you're already halfway on your way to oblivion.
Yeah Solo tell that to yourself too.

I remember spending spare money rather extravagantly at the bookshop in Primary school from time to time, but hey I only had $1 everyday and I still saved $50++ by the end of the year. My bro has $1.50 and his savings record is a goddamn zilch. (He's Primary 4)
Okay never mind I just got provoked when he told me to give him my iPod touch lolwtf, go save your own money instead of eating so much and splurging on "ephemeral" stationary items (they always disappear/malfunction within a week) and then asking me dumb questions.
Come to think of it, it's really interesting to see what we can do to stretch the dollar. I'm not a miserly person but I try to be prudent (although by right they should go hand in hand), in the sense that I spend money whenever I think it's more worth it than saving it for the future. There are really a lot of things besides clothes and food out there, and sometimes a peculiar sort of thrill can be derived from budgeting my allowance.
A life of austerity one day, another of well-informed extravagance the next, I think I've been able to get the best of both worlds, learning lessons from both ends of the spectrum.
Oh mann Billabong has really really nice sleeveless tops @_@
Cotton On must have engaged some "skinny fat" men as models, the cuts of the sleeveless shirts are hopelessly disproportionate to what is aesthetically pleasing (by my standards), such a disgrace to intelligent graphic design.
Then again, it's not about whether the shirt looks nice. It's about whether you can make the shirt look nice on you (controversial philosophy here). So what if you look absolutely stunning in your prom dress/suit, you're not gonna wear that everyday. If you want to look good all the time, focus on learning how to look decent (or even great) in a shabby school uniform (or rags of cloth for that matter), even I wouldn't bet on myself because I look like some tard lol.
And that's where strategic training comes in, go find out the rest on your own :D Well, I just try.
Suddenly fashionistas aren't so great anymore eh. Do your calf raises and shoulder presses, it's a better long term investment. Peace :)

last sat trek
Procrastination ftw I've been putting off cutting my toenails for three days!! It's really getting uncomfortable but as I always say... later >D Maybe after I finish the last quarter of Sin City.
Route March was hot!!! Why are people like Beng Hwee and Zachary and Yingyue impervious to sunburn?!?! I thought having more melanin was supposed to protect me from sunburn (I'm pretty sure I'm a few shades darker than Beng Hwee or Yingyue) but walaoo my nose is reflecting light~
Hehh carrying a sandbag in my hand was pretty good toning. I guess I sort of made up for the calorie surplus from not carrying a proper haversack? And I made up for the rest by jogging six rounds upon returning to school. Muahaha more worth it than trudging along and lugging a haversack I can't do a bicep curl with!
Conversation with zhongy at the front was really enjoyable and not just those shallow/horny/lame moments haha but really productive and insightful sharing of knowledge at times. The incessant bugging by Benji to slow down was really getting on my nerves, which prompted me to tell Beng Hwee to transfer weight twice (and even then it was still slowww) so I hope you guys are okay with it.
A hell lot of fun, a hell lot of sun xD
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
Let the song end with that line :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Harmonica concert!!
While waiting for the rest I was eating my corn bread and drinking winter melon tea at the sombre little canteen~ Ahh little moments of peaceful silence, we all need it.
We were 15 minutes late because Lin Hui's "washing up" apparently took a tad longer than Benji's "nice long shower" LOL.
I thought it was kinda ironic because the only pieces I enjoyed were the ones not played by the Harmoc people .__. Guitar ensemble was simply brilliant, the final chorus was so geniusly choreographed it just brought me straight to nirvana omg I could listen to them all night long.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alexithymia, frustration, helplessness
I'll understand. It's the least I can do, eh :) It's not fun having to singlehandedly escape from a pitch ditch, we all know that.
