My first dragon boating experience!

I woke up early, brimmed with excitement and anticipation. I am afraid I cant make it. But now I proved myself wrong.

I arrived at an expected earlier time at the destination. So confused and muddle-headed, there are simply too many dragon boat teams, with the same outfits and tans. I wandered around for 30mins looking around for SAFRA dragon boat team members, before settling down on a pavement, disappointed and lethargic. I am sweating profusely although its not quite a sunny day, but mainly due to anxiety and impatience. Alas, I saw one walking towards my direction. I asked my way and make to the actual destination point. SO I was wrong in the beginning.

I reached the cage office, where that area is run down and torn, one mis-step may send you down the river, and its not deep. Imagine you drop heads down, I believe no one can survive this fall. Back to topic, a lot of people from all walks of life gathered near the cage, there's even a Caucasian lady joining too. I was just simply too amazed on dragon boating. Orientation speech was given by the chairman, simple introduction and instructions were carried out, ground rules were laid. When its the real stuffs, these guys don't kid with you.

We were separated into two different teams. I was in the 1st group, with Gabriel, Bear, Shai, Noel and Leighton which eventually us becoming friends. Its just so sweet. We were briefed on the right techniques to hold a oar, the positive ways to dip the oar into the water, the commands of dragon boating and most importantly, one heart and one mind, teamwork above all. Every thing's seems so simple and easy, but when coming to the real actions, its difficult and tedious. Different asynchronism of timing screwed up the timing of rowing, slowing down the whole process. As tiredness creeps in slowly, aching starts to intense and the competition keeps going on, its really a psychological and mental stress upon the body. When you want to give up, the people surrounding you spurs your motivation. In dragon boating, there's no such thing as individual effort, one man counts; thats what I learnt. It was simple breath taking and an enormous surge of success and happiness overfilled us when our session is over for the day. We are simply tired out but we had only completed half a triangle. Meeting new friends, get to know them, with a common goal and mindsets, this dragon boating is really a new step in my life. And I really embrace it and wishes to pursue further and higher.

Thanks SAFRA dragon boat teams and my newly-found friends. You guys are simple too great!

Goodbye 2007, Embrace 2008!

Year 2007 had been a year of ups and downs, highs and lows. There was reminiscent of happier moments as well as times of turbulence and confusion, WHICH I personally believe that its attribute to my cause and not others. And in Year 2008, I certainly wish for improvements in my deeds and attitudes and shall hereby not inherit the past mistakes. As we know, saying is certainly easier than done. SO there's a new list of goals ASIDE the previous mentioned blog entries. But due to time constraints, I shall not elaborate more. I believe every goals and hopes can only be told to the world unless fulfilled. PROVE ME WRONG HERE! And I believe I should not race against time and deprive my sleep, hence endangering me to wake up late, spend big bucks on cab fares (which I believe that ITS OVERPRICED and EXPENSIVE), signing extras and getting grounded in CAMP. So it an episode to be be continued. And I bid all fellow human beings a wonderful night.

AND PLEASE SAVE HUMANITY! Its like a black hole which consumes human conscience and morals in this materialistic and pornographic society. Thoughts are weird and bounded to human foolishness and play. SAVE US!

Nights and sweet dreams~

Trying Hard

So many tuition agencies, so many deals, so much excitement and anxiety, yet no replies. Think I had not been trying hard enough. And with the shitty results I have, I doubt no one wants me as his/her tutor. Their child will only end up in misery and deep regrets. However looking at the bright side, being the optimistic me, I decide I shall give all my best to teach the kid, impart my knowledge, not confined to books but also life stories. WOW...I am complimenting myself instead. Come on e-mail, have some positive response. OH! And my resume, vetting in process. Hope everything turns out well.

Still unable to walk long distances...damn...how long more? Faith and Belief~

Politics Explained

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense,"

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I Understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."

Here she comes and the old me goes

Almost 1 week after my operation, I am still "paralyzed" and weak. I cant walk long distances nor engage in any strenuous activities, which include brisk walking. My exercise regime was definitely out of the schedule and behind time. I was starting to get anxious and pissed on when my wound would be completely healed. I prayed hard...

One whole futile week, I did nothing but rot at home. Whining and groaning over my wound despite being a guy, so much dependent on my mum, and surfing around the net aimlessly. Engrossed in Facebook whoring which simply makes no sense when compared to reading or helping out in simple household chores.

So many years of isolation from my house makes me realize that I was completely unaware of all the situations and happenings in my house. 8 years...thats long guys...imagine u left your home since secondary... I am not so use to new house rules and tidings. Got many scoldings from my mum for being crude with my words, uncivilized behavior, barbaric and harsh tone, heck-care attitude, I am beginning to reflect on my wretched life since my departure from my home. That place had really corrupted my mind, turning me into a cold and beastly figure. I am beginning to become an unfilial son towards my mum, and a useless figure who cant even take care of the household. Regret fills my head.

Now certainly is the time to redeem myself and prove my worth.
I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

Msning randomly. Found out a new habit of mine is to disturb people randomly, especially CERTAIN people. The truth is, I dun usually open myself up in front of others and I seldom talk. So I really must thank you guys who can tolerate my nonsense talks and bullshits. Thanks Qing Yun, Xukai, and alot more ^^ You guys never fail to make me happy and lively.

MY TOPIC SENTENCE STARTS HERE! My dear Ning specially makes a special visit to me.
And as usual, she's late but I don't mind =P So sweet of her to buy me fresh milk and my all time favorite Post Blueberry Cereal. The sight of her certainly livens my mood and I cant describe the happiness and exhilaration in me. I Just miss her a lot. And she came into my room and start to engage in a msn chat with Qing Yun while i chat with her over casual stuffs. She bought a skirt for herself too! Dinner's time around the corner, we proceed to buy dinner back for the family. Ate a sumptous and joyful dinner with my mum, thats call bliss and happiness. A trinket of joy and hope. She decided to accompany me for awhile before proceeding back home. And! I cant send her home due to my injuries. Arghhh! Thanks alot dear for your care and concern!

A Simple Start

I have been procrastinating to set up a blog for quite a long time, basically questioning its purpose and the extent of usefulness. Now I shall proclaimed that setting up a blog DO NOT take up huge portions of my life which poses as a lame excuse, and it will record down details of my life achievements and goals.

I am a guy who needs close supervision over the things i want to do, I may concentrate on this thing for a moment, however few minutes later, I may drift away from my actual goal and start some random bullshits. Thats so depressing!

SO from now on! I shall put an end to all these. I shall sever ties with my bad habituals. I shall not repeat the same mistakes which dear my life away. I will SUCCEED!

More Details to reveal later. So HOLD your breath KIDS!
