year 2006 reflection

how should i start???

the first thing on my mind is perhaps my ord in mar 06...glad that i orded and get out of that bn.but i was even happier that i managed to fuck the bn safety committee key appointment holders during the feb meeting before i orded..hope things have improved in the bn now that the stupid gary wasn't there anymore...no matter what, i must say i have learnt n matured during the past 1 yr i was based in the bn.

was looking back at the new year resolution for 2006 and i realised i achieved some but not all of the goals i had stated down back then in apr/may...

i embarked on my nuh volunteer journey...it was a pretty interesting experience dealing with the patients and i managed to pick up some skills along the way too like balloon sculpting and how to fold tissue flowers...but think the ward 12 grp is on the verge of decline liao as the conflicting schedules of all the volunteers make it v difficult to come together to org activities for the patients..i m guilty of this too as i din manage to go ever since i started sch as i have lesson on wed afternoon..

i remembered that i said i wanted to find interesting temp jobs and i gOt 2 temp jobs...
one is being a security guard at an IT fair for 2 days and i must sae it's a torture..din learn much....the other job is as relief teacher in clementi town sec for 1 whole term, teaching 6 classes...carn term it as total disaster as i made new frens there and i understood how difficult it is to b a gd teacher and that it's definitely not a career for me...some of the kids were cute and i will always remember the big farewell cardboard that my sec 1 express class prepared for me...think it will b the first n last time time i received such things from my students.

scholarships wise, i m lucky enough to be awarded 3 scholarships, naming Natsteel, Keppel and SMU scholarship....n i m glad that i made keppel my choice...i can c a bright future that awaits me when i graduate and perhaps even be the next keppel ceo like wat edgar hopes...haha
n it's thanks to the scholarship that i m now finacially secured...carn ask for more..

A freak accident that resulted in me dislocating my ankle in jun 18 meant that i carn run my AHM 07 and oso the full standard chartered marathon..thou i recovered well enuf to take part in the half marathon race in dec 06...quite a decent experience...n it always feel gd to run with a large crowd even if it means that i have to wake up super early on the race day...

i carn say i m enjoying uni life alot but i guessed i have achieved wat i wan to achieve for sem 1...
i remembered i told myself b4 that my yr 1 sem 1 will b considered a success if i can pass my black belt grading test in oct, my driving test in nov and my exams..i m proud to annouce that it was quite a success as i managed to clear my driving test and exams with flying colours, even thou i din manage to pass my black belt grading...the only plus point is i was selected as part of the ntu tkd fighters team and i m oso concurrently the chairman of the organising committee for NTU TKD Open 2007....i oso managed to represent my hall in IHG in basketball, albeit it's short lived experience as i gana a cut on my forehead at the end of the 1st quarter of the first match n it required 5 stitches thus ruling me out of the rest of the IHG games...

i guess the nicest thing that happened to me this yr is i managed to woo back the girl i like and to convince her to give me one more try...thx dear for willing to me us another chance...

my 21st bdae celebration was nice as i get to celebrate with differents groups of frens and thx once again to dear n my sis n everyone who played a part in helping to make the scrap book a success, despite the busy schedule that all of u have...it's the nicest present i ever received..and the 4g celebration was also nice....

a few regrets were i din manage to go on any overseas holiday, din manage to spend quality and quantity time with my loved ones and oso my grandma, din manage to learn cooking, guitar, blading, new martial arts and oso carn c my 6 pecs...

All in all, i guessed it's a good year for me...thx everyone for ur presence in my life..hope yr 2007 will be better!!!!

result day

din manage to wake up in the morning...
i was feeling v cold at ard 8 plus in the morning (think i was sick) and hence i decide to hibernate..n i think i woke up at ard 12plus...another half a day gone...
den i woke up to check my results...
first time in 3 yrs that i m getting my results once again..
n it turned out to b quite decent...
dun think i can ask for more liao...
n i was thinking if i sld reward myself for the decent results...
c how things go lor...
dun really enjoy this holiday...cos i m not a 'rain' person...
n i was in pretty bad health this holiday...
haiz..jux pop 2 panadols again...
yr 2006 ending soon...will do a review on yr 2006 and oso my resolutions for yr 2007...
n i din noe earthquake is so powerful..can disrupt our lifes even thou it din literally happen on our land..
n i wondered how they built those cables at the bottom of the ocean...
so fascinating lor

entry #145

wah...time flies man, this is alr my 145th entry...
which came as a shock, esp when i dun really blog nowadays.
went to maxwell food ctr a few days ago to try the famous tian tian chicken rice...
but it turned out to b a disappointment..think the one at tanglin halt taste beta, even winnie thought so too...
but then again, i must sae maxwell food ctr really have alot of good food.
the next chicken rice tat i wan to try is the super expensive chatterbox chicken rice..think it cost ard 20bucks if i m not wrong...
my wound is healing liao..think i can start proper training next week, haven being exercising for the past 1 week cos of the injury as i have to keep the wound dry..which is quite a chore..
this wk is xmas, going out with winnie ltr, meeting the army gang on 29 dec...
dun think 4g is going to have a gathering this yr for xmas unlike last yr...
haiz, abit sad lor, esp when i planned my celebration with winnie on 23rd dec so that we can join in any celebration that 4g might have, but apparently, not everyone think it the way i do...
hrm, shall wait n c what magic jy can conjur to gather all the 4g..
seems like a long time ago that i organised a 4g gathering

1st five stitches of my life

haiz..my first interhall basketball match ended in 5 stitches on my forehead, near my eye brow...
disfigured for life liao lor...thou most of them sae i look more man with the scar...
so i must try to c it in a possible light lor....
i will try...
jux hope the wound recover fast cos i carn do much training with the wound ard as i have to keep the wound dry...
which is v sad lor, esp when i m such an active person n i m dying to get tanned n get fit n this stupid injury came to spoil all my plans..
hrm as for my taekwondo trg, i think i really have to train harder if i dun wan to make a fool of myself during the competition in mar n tt is provided i m selected for the competition cos there's quite a few brown belts ard...
xmas is coming n i can get to celebrate it with her...
so happy lor...looking forward to that day...

standard chartered marathon

went for my maiden standard chartered run last sun too...
woke up early lor at 430am...the opportunity cost of the run is my sleep n also the liverpool match at 11pm on sat..cos have to slp early n wake up early...
hrm..the aim of the run was to complete the run..so i achieved my aim..
thou i felt that the running route was a bit boring cos we ran past quite alot of construction sites..so not much scenery to view..so abit sian..
n the baggage collection at the end was also quite messy...
singaporean did what they do best: monkey c monkey do..
no one bother to find out which queue is for which number group...
so in the end it's only 1 queue...disaster...
but the water supply was plentiful which is gd...
kept myself hydrated thru out the race...
post race: my knee hurt like crazy...think it's partly cos my body not properly conditioned n also my running pace was slow thus putting alot of pressure on my knees...
hope it will b ok...
next yr aim is to complete the 1st marathon of my life...
n to jio pple to pei me...haha
