Preparation for Chingay Booth and a horrible horrible dream.

I woke up very early morning on the 30th of January 2011. For Gekiken of course.


Took the train to Toa Payoh and da! I receive a sms that says should we change the time to 3pm since it's still raining cats and dogs? I immediately reply back I'm on my way there already. So the meeting time resume at 11am. That's a lucky break.

Reach there at 10:30am and gosh my foot really hurts. Blisters everywhere and the shoe I'm wearing simply don't help. My old blister wound is still not healing and it hurts. I whip out my camera and start taking random shots until I spotted Shun Jing - Actually, she spotted me first since I can't see a thing without my specs on.


Greeted her, then talk for a bit. Then Kelvin arrived. He introduced himself to me since I didn't really know him! He must have joined during the time I left to focus on studies. 


Then Jack arrived! We began briefing on the Chingay thingy. I shall not spill details here, but the one thing i can say is...


We are to fight in a 4m by 4m elevated stage.
THAT'S A SMALL SPACE!!! DANGEROUS!!!! Any of us who were use to moving around will find it hard to play.

When Greg arrived and others arrive too, we began practicing our footwork. Gosh it's tiring! Though it's raining and stuffs, I am actually sweating. Why? We're using our muscles to stand instead of the human skeleton. I can feel the cramp! BUT I PERSEVERED!!! 


Sparring starts of with Greg VS Me.
It's usually asking for death when you fight against Greg. He's the undefeated champion! But this is needed to improve myself. I challenged him with the standard short cross pike, and face off with him.


Results is shown.


Number of headshots Greg did to me - Too many times.
Number of times I fallen out of the ring - 10.
Number of times I hit Greg - 3.
Number of times Greg hits me - Too many times.


See the difference in skills there!?
I am utterly trashed! But I feel that I improved a lot too. Especially since I am holding my ground more longer than the usual hit and run tactics.


When home when everything ended and I guess the two hour long bus trip simply shagged me out.
Got so tired and I immediately fell asleep at 5pm.


I woke up at 10pm. The shock. E_E
Came online and stuffs then rot around watching SRW and Wolverine. LOL.
Then collapse to sleep. LOL.
And now here I am. LOL.


Oh yeah, regarding the dream.
It was bad, but I shall state it next time. This post getting too long!


Later~

Forgive me.

Forgive me for not blogging recently, for there is nothing interesting to blog about.

Went out with friends to catch the movie - Green Hornet. Well, it's practically an action+comedy film, and it was pretty decent. It was pretty late though, the movie started at 11:20pm. and by the time the movie ends, it was 1:21am. 

We walked all the way to Bras Basah to eat though. Well, they eat, not me. All of them ate the same fish slice soup(literally direct translated from chinese) while I just drink soya bean.

While we're eating, an aunty approach us and ask for help, claiming she's homeless.
That.
Is.
One.
Thing.
I.
Can't.
Stand.
You have your hands and legs, and instead of begging around, go bloody find some work like a dishwasher or a cleaner or something! She's clearly still able to work at a hotel as a banquet crew. To top everything off, she just have to scold us fuckers when we rejected her advances. First, she begs with puppy eyes and when rejected, she scold us fuckers. This is the very first time I've seen such rude beggars. Most beggars I met are pretty well mannered. This one is too much.

We then head off to the nearby bus-stop to catch the NR home. Not my home, but Spidey's. There isn't any NR heading to anywhere near my house to walk. Not even Clementi and that's 3-5km away from my home. That's damn sad alright But once we reach Spidey's home, he showed me the show I wanted to watch. Actually, it's more of a movie - Batman under the Red Hood, and Warhammer Ultramarines. Both are darn nice movies, except the fact that the Ultramarines movie end up pointless as all 13(if I remember correctly) of them except 2 died. A large bulk of them died on the planet while trying to retrieve a sacred relic fallen into the hands of the Chaosmarines.

Well, I'll stop there. I shall not explain further. You people should go watch the two movies, they are very nice.

I am suppose to go out with a certain someone today but that certain someone made plans already! Well, it's ok. At least I did still go out rather than staying at home to rot, right? :)

On the brighter side, my weight drop from 79.5kg to 74.2kg. Pretty darn good improvement I say but not good enough! I need to hit the right weight of 71kg! That's the weight I should gain. My time in the Navy shall serve as building my body up. But that shall only happen if I could become an officer or a diver. We shall see where I end up. For all I know, I might end up as a shipboard cook or logistics! THE TWO WHICH I DON'T WANT.

Think it's pretty much time for me to go home. Yeah, actually, I should.
I am pretty darn tired after all...
I might sleep on my bus back but who knows? It's a long ride... A very long ride...
Later peeps.

My first new shoes for 2011!!

AND YES.

MY WACKOMARIA X JUMP SERIES SNEAKERS HAVE ARRIVED.  Taobao is extremely effective. It's only 8 days and it's here~! <3
Bought it at $70, including shipping. :)
Pictures are available on my Facebook Profile. Though the profile itself is a private one, that album is set so strangers can view that certain album. :)


Nothing much to post. In fact, maybe this.


I.
Am.
Lacking.
Sleep.


I AM PLAYING TOO MUCH GAMES!!!! D<
WHAT THE HELL!? I FINISHED COMPANY OF HEROES ON NORMAL DIFFICULTY IN UNDER 24HRS!? NO WAY!!! D<


THEN, NOW, HAVING JUST DOWNLOADED MASS EFFECT. I HAVE CLEARED 1/3 OF THE STORYLINE!!! D<

THISISNOTTHESPEEDISHOULDBEPLAYING.
I SHOULD BE PLAYING S-L-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OW-L-Y...

Meh.

I think I've taken things up a little too fast.
Played Company of Heroes just now to finish up the Allied Campaign. There isn't any challenging mission except holding Hill 162 and repelling the Axis Counterattack on it. Well, finished it and boy I was bored.


Haiz. I still can't believe I'm a Virgo now. I want to return to the Temple of Libra!!! (hahaha Saint Seiya talk)
I do not have the characteristics of a Virgo, so how am I suppose to except that? According to Christian, male Virgo are extremely rare and there's only 20% of them in the Virgo Population and that I am suppose to be good with ladies. So how come I keep getting played at in relationship?

Well, not that it really bothers me. I still consider myself a Libra Ram though. Once a Libra, forever a Libra! YEAH~!!!


I am thinking of going to start collecting those WW2 tank models once again! I just lack an air-tight display cabinet... I have a German Stug Tank, can't remember the scale but it's definitely not 1:1!!! If it's 1:1... I'll be a very happy man and Singapore Police Force will be a very angry group. :)

Perhaps, I am really helping others too much to the point I have neglected my needs and wants.
Maybe, I just don't have them right now?
I ain't very sure. But whatever it is, I should focus on the upcoming time in the Navy.

Libra... Now Virgo!?

Things pretty fucked up now. My stomach still hurts. And now im a Virgo!!!

Have you guys heard about the new horoscope thingy?
Now there's 13!
And yes, I ain't feeling any better regarding my diarrhoea...
It hurts even now, and I do not have kaolin mixture with me...
Right now im at wheelocks' starbucks...
It hurts so much... Haiz... What a mistake not to bring that kaolin mixture!

I guess I shall be heading home now...

Sick, Sick, Sick,

OH DEAR GOD!!! (any will do! Zeus, Buddha, Jesus, whatever!)

I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER MUTATED GROWTH AND END UP AT 190CM!!!

QUICK MAKE THIS FEVER AND STOMACHACHE GONE!!!!! ;_;

Urgh... I'm too unwell to complain much... And off I go... To the toilet for the 3rd time now since 9am... ;_;

The Broken-Hearted and a little of me.

Too many... 
Perhaps a little too many heartbreaks and this is just the Start of the Year!


Indeed, I have been observing, doing my very own studies and research on love-life/relationships. First, from the reality. I've begun to notice ladies and gentlemen around Singapore to sport this sorrowful demeanor. Some were simply doing this just for the sake of being a scene-kid, while others were seriously depressed. Well, whether is it relationships issues or others, certainly,  the air around this beautiful city had made a change for the worse.


Next, online. Facebook. Why?
Everyone's favourite, no? Each and everyone of you who posts your relationship status up with heads up high when it goes 'In a relationship with ______'. This year, there is a sharp rise in the number of people who previously was in a relationship, turned Single.

Well, Good luck.
Hope you people can recover from heartaches. I've overcome mine, and had now moved on happily.
I won't say there isn't any negative points to it though - I have raise my guard to women.

Yeap. Why you ask? Fantastic.
To be honest, when I was young. I am afraid of girls. Now? No. But because I trust too easily, I get ensnare by women all the time. Hahaha! Pretty pathetic for a guy right? I know these just-too-well. I still love girls, though. I'm straight - what else? I had to raise my guard. You could say I have been bitten too many times and have not learned my lessons yet. Well, you could also say that the reason I'm doing this is because I simply do not wish to be used by women again.


That's all for today. I wish everyone well.
Especially those studying in Universities in Australia, Italy, UK and USA... Away from their homeland - Good luck.

Personality Test?

Well, I went ahead and do a certain Personality test. Strangely enough, I find this test very accurate as compared to many which claim to be able to find out for Personality.The below is the result I get! Here is the link if you wish to find out your Personality, http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html

The Nurturer

As an ISFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you takes things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system.


ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings. People value the ISFJ for their consideration and awareness, and their ability to bring out the best in others by their firm desire to believe the best.


ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ.
ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method.


ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory. For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion. The ISFJ is extremely dependable.
The ISFJ has an extremely well-developed sense of space, function, and aesthetic appeal. For that reason, they're likely to have beautifully furnished, functional homes. They make extremely good interior decorators. This special ability, combined with their sensitivity to other's feelings and desires, makes them very likely to be great gift-givers - finding the right gift which will be truly appreciated by the recipient.


More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set. Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions.


Just as the ISFJ is not likely to express their feelings, they are also not likely to let on that they know how others are feeling. However, they will speak up when they feel another individual really needs help, and in such cases they can truly help others become aware of their feelings.


The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict, and because they tend to place other people's needs over their own. The ISFJ needs to learn to identify, value, and express their own needs, if they wish to avoid becoming over-worked and taken for granted.


ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right".


The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others.

Dominant: Introverted Sensing
Auxilliary: Extraverted Feeling
Tertiary: Introverted Thinking
Inferior: Extraverted Intuition

Spring Cleaning!

Nope, not my house but Spidey's!


Cleared his store-room which was left untouchables for 10 years.
Clear part of his Kitchen and his Living room is now free from trash, props, materials, whatever.


I've played a major role in this... MAJOR ROLE...
I'm a pack-rat! I carefully packed his store-room up with things he wanted stored in!
The best things is this...

He gave me a shirt! Hohohoho~ A shirt with Japanese Gravure Idol - Aki Hoshino on it~ <3 <3 <3
Awww~ I just love her!
Maybe I should start fanboying over idols like her! But then again, it's gonna cost a bomb to get those fans stuff. Yesterday we did a lot of things though, and I will update later tonight(if I get back home!) alright? I'll explain in details, like a report. >:3


Suppose to go IKEA at Tampines now... BUT, I have two idiots who are sleeping in the living room now. One say give him 10mins(same old things since years ago), another say it's isn't fair because I slept for 1hr... But didn't he slept from 9:30am to 10:30am? Contradicting isn't it?

Sometimes, I don't get why people are like this.
If you can't stay awake and follow a set-plan, don't set them in the first place!
Why bother planning to go IKEA when in the end, you guys are just gonna KO and sleep?
THEY CAN'T EVEN FOLLOW THEIR OWN PLANS THEY SET!!!

Now, I question myself.
Are they really the people I respected? Maybe I should really start looking for other people to look up- oh wait.

I can look up to myself! Good plan! Boost self-esteem also! :D
Well, that's it for now. I shall go try waking the two idiots up. If they ain't gonna move, I shall just go home then. :)

Tiring.

I've been following a set schedule for running. I am proud to say I've been running everyday from Teban Gardens Road to Vivo City and back. :)

And like what my cousin said, that's 10km!!!
Though I haven't been able to run the entire stretch to and fro without stopping. I only have 2++ months left before I enlist! I certainly hope I can enter the Naval Diver Unit!!! It as the toughest training among them! I can't be an Naval Officer because my qualifications limits it, which sucks - big time.


Oh well, I need to train more!
I have to wake up early later and head to Bukit Batok Driving Center to apply for Basic Theory Test.
For Cars though... I could not learn bike at the moment because of financial problems. This car license was sponsored by Uncle Jeff as my Christmas Present. I shall not fail him.
I shall pass it in one go!


This Saturday, looks like it's gonna be one hell of a fun time sparring again! Why Saturday? Chee Kiat had a chalet over at some place in East Coast Park. So this is going to be a Battle at the Beach!!!

The last time I had a Beach Battle was two years ago. It's hard to move around in the sand, I wasn't use to it! But for now, I believe I can manage. Only thing is the fear is back. I kept closing my eye when I was about to be hit! I need to spar with Greg and Jack more and receive more of his bashing to train my eyes not to close!

Haiz. My days are limited.
No, I am not dreading NS. I'm looking forward to it. But I just can't stand the thought of not being a Naval Diver or Officer and end up in Logistics or Chef... I just can't. <_<"
SO DEAR GOD(if there is any out there), THROW ME INTO NAVAL DIVER UNIT!!!! (prays)

Eat, Drink, Eat again!

A supposed dinner outing turns two person drunk.


A dinner at Cineleisure's Shokudo ends up with us drinking at Club Romeo at Orchard Tower.

Now now I know that place ain't clean. There's a lot of 'pretty boy' in the club but hey, I'm there only because Takashi is treating us to 3 jugs of Foster beer! So yeah. I am rather semi-drunk because I kinda drink pretty fast. I finished 3 glasses while the rest did two or some one!


Takashi and Boss became drunk. I think they threw out after we went to Starbucks to slack. At least, today we get to meet up with Store-mando(commando's storeman) Takashi and NDU's Wenjie. LOL! Meeting the two most hilarious and hyper person in the group is always a good thing. :)


When we went to Starbucks , I had Dark Mocha Venti and shortly after, I have to leave the gang behind.

My cousin is fetching me for supper with the rest of the relatives!
Went to King Albert Park after fetching Kenji's dad at a certain place. Ate Macdonald and jeez, I don't really have the appetite with beer and mocha in my tummy.


Well, now im at home, I am full of energy, I can't sleep!
And I am suppose to wake up at 7am later because I'm going for my usual Sunday Genkiken session.
Yes, I resuming practicing with spear!

Well, I shall end here today with a very gentle song!

Love me Tender - Elvis Presley.
I just can't get enough of his heavenly voice. The King indeed.

Happy New Year!

Hi people, this is Gary here wishing everyone, a happy and awesome new year!
If that applies to you, hooray~!!!

And for those who still can't get over... Here's a song specially for you.






Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel. Remember, if you're feeling lonely, you can always go to end of Lonely Street and find this haven - for the broken-hearted.


Nah I'm just kidding! You can always come find me to just talk about stuffs. :)
