1st DRAFT COMPLETE!!!!
Oh MAN!!!!!
FINALLY!!!! complete my first draft! and submitted to my supervisor for approval already. There would most probably be ammendments, but its ok. At least the bulk of the work is done. The rest are just touching up and AWAY WE GO!!! But seriously, no joke. Really had a rude awakening from all this. Maybe I will take a week to relax before I start to prepare for my Thesis already. not much time left.
Also, did i ever mention I had this friend, whom i borrowed my bicycle 2 yrs ago, and who's bro lost my bick cos he didn't lock it up. So he promised to buy me a new bick. But its been 2 yrs, and i STILL havent told him which one i want. Dame. instead of him feeling bad about it, its become I who am feeling bad for letting him wait so long. Resolution. Must settle all this "debts" A.S.A.P.!
Meanwhile, RELAX!!! RELAX!!!.... will try to sleep early tonight, need to recover from all the late nights and stressful days so that i can resume my kendo trainings :) I have once again realised. I LOVE KENDO!

V Day, D-Day Journey
Haloz! Yesh! today is valentines day. and all the couple out there enjoying themselves, with guys stretching their heads what to buy for the gals, some red faced buying flowers for the first time or carrying it across town to meet their love ones. ME? I spend V-day worrying about my D-day.
Thats right! my deadline for the conference paper has just been dragged longer again! But this time, i am glad that it did. Although i would want to get it over and done with as SOOOON as possible, but I would want it to be a well written paper even more! Not only for my pride, but also doing it for my supervisor who has been so understanding and tolerant towards my slacking and lazing. So I have decided to spend this whole weekend mugging for the paper once again (similar to last wk's agenda. Sat and sunday worked till 11pm at night) But this time, its with a brighter note and more focus in direction as my supervisor enlightened me somemore on how a proper conference paper should be written. Really feel this 10 yrs of experience between us is really oceans apart. Anyway, now I am more refreshed from the 9 hrs sleep i finally got last night, and today start afresh to rush for my paper. Hopefully I can complete the first draft and submit to it him on monday.
Throught all this, i have once again been reminded how we should not do things and go through life always trying to get somewhere and curse and swear during the process of getting there. Cos for most things, its the path and journey you take to achieve something that really matters, and not the result. Just like whats been illustrated in 'Le Petit Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, otherwise more popularly known as 'The Little Prince'. The rose matters to him because it was his rose. He cared for it, loved it, protected it, thats why it is more special then all the roses in the world. Same goes for our lives. Things matters to us only because we put in effort to do it. And what you learn from trying to get something, is during the process of getting it, the journey you have embarked to reach the goal. But more often then not, people usually would be so obsessed about getting to the goal, they neglected what they could have gained along the way. For those who appreciates every since step of their journey, will usually end up with more then a basket full of little suprises. Little skills and little improvements they have attained. Its not like RPG games in computer where only after gaining a certain amount of experience points will you suddenly gain a LEVEL-UP. Where all your stats rise a few points. Thats the gaming world. This is Reality.
So for me, I felt that i have learn to take stress a little better, learn to appreciate my work a little more, and most of all, understand the importance of the journey a little more.
Ok, now back to work ;)
ok, another attempt to add a pic.
This time, its the Japan Festival that Ryozan helped organise.
