The inevitable has happened... i have begin to go back for training.. and one of my greatest fear has become reality...
it is subconciously coming to my mind... instead of my usually enjoyable stoning.. my tots drift to training.. and i will find myself holding a invisible shinai.. adjusting my foot.. and slide instead of walk....>_<
it's presence is so contagious.. its gotto be love...
Utsukushiku, Tadashiku, Tsuyoku
Beautiful, Correct, Strong
that is what i want my kendo to be.
that is what my kendo will be.

goodbye tagboard.
Due to technical difficulties and refusal of my tag board to appear on the blog, I have decided to remove it altogether. But you guys who wanna drop a message can always do so by using the "comments" tab below every entry. dont be lazy.
.... ok.. kinda a rough week for me so far. Been busy with job searching and who knows what...
tots: Isnt it so sad how most people can only see you for how you look like on the outside, and not know you for who you really are? Unless you can show it, or put it out in words to sell yourself? Maybe thats what most girls want in a guy. Someone who can know them well enough to not have to say anything, but still know exactly what they are thinking. But i am sure girls wont have this problem, most of women have strong language skills. Whereas men, engineers, me, just cant express nuts! But one things for sure, i can find a word to express myself now, and that word is...
FRUSTRATION.

I was told...
I was told...
"I hear you complain about it all the time.
Why aren't you doing anything about it rather then just complain?"
And it is true.
Why DONT I do something about it.
There is enough of words and empty promises...
its time for action.

Got to get moving..
I really should start blogging more often.
Once again, i have proven to myself that my english SUCKS!
First it was the thesis. NOW, its the cover letters.
I have finally spotted a job i really wanna do... but when i try to write an impressive cover letter, it took THREE DAYS and FIVE Drafts!!!
Red Ink flying left right center across the page. >_<
"TotALLY MAKES NO SENSE!"
"SENTENSE STRUCTURE ALL WRONG!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?"
"THIS ISNT A COVER LETTER! ITS A VOLMIT OF WORDS!"
...are the comments i recieved...
I just cant seem to express myself in words. I open my mouth.. and........ blank.... all my thoughts and little wheels in the head turning, but ..... blank.. i just cannot express what is in my mind into words.
My moral hit ROCK BOTTOM.
I really need to brush up my english. I need professional help :(
I also have to confess i have been doing nothing... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING these days... ROTTING my life away..
but NO MORE!
Starting Today! (Tomorrow, Sat), I will gather myself, and get my fat arse moving!
RAWR!!!!

Sore throat lion cannot roar
Sore throat is bad for health... it usually starts with a sore throat.. then running nose followed by phelgm... and ultimately, COUGH!
Elk! feels horrible...
the sore throat started since last tuesday with overdoze of pork-floss in egg-rolls from thailand... finished half the box in one sitting... sore throat follows the very next day.
It was actually getting better till the sat's gathering at my place where my friends bought TONS of tit-bits.. and it REALLY doesnt help to have a tournament the very next day. My throat was so dry and painful, its like a million daggers cutting and stabbing in there whenever i swollow or speak...@_@
Till this day I am still suffering the aftermath.... the cough! the worse actually. but luckily its not too frequent.. but i definately have the sick sick feeling.. i hate being sick...
k la. thats all for now.. just decided to blog since i havent been blogging for some time. take care..

THE end of the world...
At least thats what i thought it was... when i heard the thunderous ROAR coming from downstairs at 5 pass midnight....
The outer brick wall surrounding my house garden COLLAPSED!!!
10-15 meters of it!!
looks like terrorist attack like that... at least thats wat it sounds like when it collapsed.... i thunderous ROAR!
I dont think its a terrorist attack... at least no one has claimed responsibility of the blast..........yet.....
Nah!
The soil couldnt take the weight... apperently.. the previous owner didnt build it with foundation... so i guess after so many years of sun and rain.. the soild finally gave way......
The wall fell towards the outside and luckily, reached the other side of the canal.. forming a bridge in some sense... but i dont know how much longer it can sustain its structural integrity. I hope it doesnt crumble and falls into the canal... or else i believe ministry of environment would have something to say about it.

Job Hunting ~ Day 1
YEAH! The FIRST day of my job searching just ended! Job hunting is HARD work!
Am not exactly sure what I wanna do with my life yet... but i think i will be attempting to apply for jobs from the Financial, Marketing, Engineering and maybe even event organisation industry.
But with ZERO experience, its kind hard to get an interview. Will just send them out and see how it goes. And about the internet making things easier for online job application. I think its bull! It seems to be extremely user unfriendly. After 2 hours with meddling with it, I've decided to just go ahead and send physical copies of my resume instead.
Just became 20 bucks poorer getting ink catriage for my printer, a stack of printing paper, and some envelops (30cents each?! its just folded paper!!).

Dengue again?!
I have been bitten twice by a mosquito today... and when i finally manage to kill it.. i saw black and white strips on it legs.. An Aedes aegypti (a.k.a. Aedes mosquito).
Its been said that if you get contract dengue fever the second time... it could be fatal. Heres why.
"Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus. Infection with one of these serotypes does not provide cross-protective immunity. "
~CDC
Being immune to one virus, the body might think it is immune to the others as well, when it is not. So the immnue system might not recognise the other viruses and leave the victim helpless to the attack.
As of lately, the number of people contracting this dengue fever has shot up from a 136 to 300 cases per WEEK. The things we all take for granted. Lets just hope I dont end up in the CDC bed one more time.

physics.. hmmmm
Impulse = Change in Momentum = Force x Duration of Impact
or
Force = Change in Momentum / Duration of Impact
To minimise damage on the body, is how to minimise force or extend duration of impact.

What was planned to be a short 2 hour trip to my sis up north to print out the color pages of my thesis turned out to be an elaborate 8 hours wild goose chase with printer carrying, wires entangling and sun bathing..... ok.. there wasnt any sunbathing.. elk!!

-drove sis car to friend's house to burn 17MB of thesis into CD
-chat :P (ok, my fault)
-drove back and tested printing
-pages printed are shrunk
-realised ancient PC with dinosaurs OS also has antique office!!! office 98!!! i typed my thesis on office 2000!!!!!! arg!!!
-DROVE the printer home to print using my laptop
-finally prints smoothly
-took a breather...
-realise out of ink..
-looks at clock... 630pm...-_-"
-admits defeat
-drives to sis place to return printer
-dinner... or was that lunch... = 2 slice of bread

words on paper
Georgie Lacus mentioned that he chose singapore to locate his animation studio so as to "take advantage of symbolic meshing of creative talents from the east and the west".... does this mean jedis would run about in sarongs and dark sith lords will have cool tatoos and curse the jedi in hokkien? COol! Cant wait!
Tay Yek Keak's comments in the 'Life' section of ST regarding The War Of the Worlds (a.k.a. WOW) was a RIOT! hahaha.. its been a long time since I laughed so loud. Or maybe its just our shared sense of humor...

I love the Sky
I love the sky.
As I look up into the skies... the vast, endless skies...
i realise there is more to life,
and how small we, and our problems are.
That... there is still HOPE,
under this endless sky.
white noise
Audio-Technica earphones i just got to replace my retired 6yrs-old sony. In Cool white... Like Trueno "AE" 86, from "Initial D" :P
Ahh... feel so good to buy SOMETHIng.
