Oh man! soo freakin tired today!!!!
Saturday morning I went for my first jog in 4 months....or was it 5.. ahhaa.. jogged REALLL slow in case all my brittle bones shatter... 20 minutes for about 2-3 km max. Dont wanna strain my back before the tournament sunday morning. hahaa... not funny.
Forced a few sets of sit ups and chin ups.. and i feel GOOD. ahhaa....till today....-_-
Today's tournament was relatively good. I won my first match with a lucky men when my opponent and I canclled each other's kote, then i followed with a men when he didnt expect it. Caught him when he let his guard down. But got creamed by my next opponenet who happened to emerge the champion. Hahaha.. champion le!!! *consuling myself* hahaha... Aww.... split my head and chopped off my hand within 20 seconds? somewhere there la. ahhaa... but i am happy. I didnt die too horribly. ahaha.
But now my whole body is aching... ehh.h........ OOooowww... my aching back....
I AM NOT OLD!!!!!!
just older.....

Finally, I have subscribed to *HELLO* which allows me to put photos on my blog. Thats one of the reasons why I left blogspot, and also why I came back. But one bad thing is I cant seem to put the photos within an entry... hmm.. how inconvenient.
YesH! today is FRIDAY!!!!! I am sure many of you guys out there are happy as can be. BUT IT DOESNT MAKE A DAMN DIFFERECE TO ME!!!!!!
>_<
Cos I will still be working through the weekend ANYWAY. And with only left 2 weeks before my targetted deadline... literally DEAD LINE!!!
Well, not alls that bad... I have decided to have a can of coke later. Highlight of my day. "whoopee"! *waves pom pom enthusiastically...NOT!*
But I AM going town later, for dinner....

Of all the I.D.I.O.T.I.C. things I have done.. this is one of the best liao!
I booked the SEM (an electron microscope/expensive/high demand, thus, at most can get a chance to use it once a week) for wednesday morning.... but i kept thinking its TODAY!!!! >_< #%&$^#%$%$@!#$!@#%$&%@##
OH MY #%$!^&@^%$!@#!^%&%$%$
-_-
@#$%%$&^&$#^^$#%!@#
All i can do now is to make another booking next THURSDAY!!!! and hopefully on friday morning (christmas eve), everyone will be too slack to come to school, I will use it as well. SEM images of my specimens are one of the 3 main things i need to complete before i can complete my experiments and wrap up my thesis. And expecially when its an equipment in high demand, its so hard to get a chance to use it.
I think stress is overflowing through my ears already....

Zen zen wakaranai!

Let me tell you guys a story... once upon a time.....
Alvin went to clementi town for dinner. He has his thesis to complete, but thought it would be good to take a break and go somewhere different for dinner for a change.
On his way home, hr waited for bus 96 to come so that he could quickly get back and continue his work.......so he waited for bus 96, and he waited and waited and waited. And he waited for almost 40minutes.. 96 dont come!!!!!!
Finally, with a helpless sigh, he gave up hope of waiting for 96 and thought maybe the service ended early today for some special reason without him knowing.. so he walked the long road back...but as he was almost reaching the highway, 96 buses started to zoom by.... one by one..-_-
When he was finally one street across his office... FOUR... FOUR!!!!! 96 was queueing in a row... as if parading in front of him..... he could have swore their exhaust fume smell, no, no, REEK of mockary...-_-
WHY!!!!! WHY ME!!!!!
BURN SBS!!!! BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Epilogue
When he got back to his lab.. it was empty... pitch dark... evryone has went..
only his lonely computer left on flashing the screen saver....... with only 10 minutes before the last bus home... what is he to do.....-_-
This is NOT my day....

It has been a long time since we had combine training between the only two schools in Singapore. Sensei made us do do training together amoung the seniors and the 40+ beginners. So it was back to basics, like how to hold our posture properly. That there are 3 points to note when holding Kamae.
1. Upper back must be in tension
2. Lower back must be in tension
3. Tan Tian must be in tension
As he said, Kamae is beautiful. Kendo is beautiful. You cant do beautiful kendo when you cannot even move about with a good kamae. Simply, the idea was to hold the back straight and kensen center, even when we are moving to and fro. But of course, the whole thing was quite chaotic la. haha. But it was fun to train with so many people.
However, during the Ji-geiko session, I was crap. I was fighting like a hopping bunny made of jello. wobbly, breathless, bouncing (happens whenever my legs cant take it anymore) and almost slide across the dojo but ended up crashed into the wall(Lucky me). To summarise it, i suck big time. Sigh. Just 3 months out of practice (and exercise in general) has reduced me to this..... Oh man... I need to finish my thesis soon. And start doing some exercise man! Need to get back into shape! Sucks!

Oh MAN!!! its December ALReADY?! holy CRAP! !@^%!#$@#$$!$% This is really bad. I have exactly one more month before school reopens.. and i need to complete my masters thesis by then or else i will need to pay for next semester's school fees with... erm... pots of gold from the end of the rainbow...? And wat? eat grass?!
>_< CRAP!!!
15 hrs a day, 7 days a week in the office is ready to drive me up the wall and down the other side anytime man! And the added stress of the deadline really doesnt help. I sneaked back for training last sunday. It was only a short 1 hour Gi-keiko after the grading session. But my arms were about to fall off the next morning. Maybe I'm old, or could be to lack of exercise for 3 months, or the fact that i didnt do old man warmups. But it really felt horrible. Training felt horrible. I was like a sitting duck screaming on top of my lungs or with a flashing neon sign seen in Vegas "HIt me! hit ME!" Oh Man!!! Hope things pick up soon... it cant get any lower then this.... now can it?

Its like been years since i last had an entry. Has been sooo tied up with work work work work work work work work work....ARGG!!! driving me INSANE!!!! >_<
There has been a great headache recently. Its been Project+Typhoon+Earthquake vs GOING JAPAN!!! (=All Japan Kendo Federation Championship, LIVE!, + Japan In the Fall+ Rest and Relax for 2 wks)
Yes, as many of you know, Japan has been plagued with typhoons and recent Niigata 6.4 on the Recter Scale Earthquake plus many many strong after shocks. Sigh. And my project is a headache too. Although I have bought the air ticket for S$600, but all this kinda tipped the scales. But also because of the atrocious working hours i have been putting in (9am till 1am), my body dont seem to be as fit as before to be able to take this kinda punishment. Over this one month of lifeless working on my project, I am beginning to feel the strain. I had no idea what to choose. To go japan! Enjoy the hell out of myself, or to stay and complete my masters ASAP! be safe from Typhoons and earthquakes and Still have some money left to enjoy my preserved life? Which how what who wah??? @_@
>_< ArrgggGGGGgggGGG!!!!!!
But finally, it just struck me... to just GO!!! listing out my train of tot would require more Megabytes this server can hold. So I shall just say the conclusion. That I WILL GO JAPAN! Leaving monday 1st nov night, and returning on the 19th nov late at night. Sigh (of relief), but my project IS a problem now. not sure how am i suppose to complete it in time tho. Well, as the boat travels to the opening of the bridge, it will naturally go straight :) Optimistic LE!!!!!!
AHHAHAHAHAhahhahaa

I love the Fall...
Its the most romantic season of the year. Not as though there is any here where I live, cos summer is here all year round (not a good thing, i assure you). I perspire easily, so, I love the cold climate. To be able to take a long walk without breaking into sweat while enjoying the wide array of colours that spreads across the landscape. THAT, will be what i will be doing in 3 weeks time! Autumn in JAPAN!!!! The next best season to be there besides Spring, when the sakura bloom.
Yesh!!! Autumn in japan. I have also bought the Hiking in Japan Travel guide published by Lonely Planet to help in my exploration of the country of the rising sun. But i havent started planing them yet!!! damn it!! no time... too busy doing my experiments.... hmm... then what am i doing typing my blog u say? Cos i cannot forget to share with my friends out there on my joy what...right???? Ahahahah..... ;)

It was another adventurous night for me. As I innocently sat in my dad's car, thinking I was safely on my way home from lab, halfway across CTE,
it ran OUT OF GAS!
*pause*. . . . . . . . . >.<
Of course, whats an exciting adventure without a photo to remember by....
OK! OK! it was actually just a slight drizzle... and i had an umbrella............. But it was REALLY dark ok!! hahahaha :)

How i wish i could take a lazy afternoon nap like this cat i caught lazing under a tree near holland village...
Also watched Mama Mia on weds thanks to the free gala preimere ticket from Andy. Thanks man! Center front row seats on the 2nd level! Bestest! I am no ABBA fan, but it was really entertaining. Catchy music punctuated with comic relief. If you ARE an ABBA fan. Its a must watch. Overall review: Entertaining.
The only other musicals I have watched are Le' Mis and Ms Saigon. Le' Mis was GREAT! Watched it in Leicester Square London. Although they were more *cough cough* "economical" seats, peering at the stage from 4 floors up, it was still tear quenchingly moving. Next to catch is Phantom of the Opera! Damn! missed it when it last came Singapore.
