WHAT IN THE WORLD ??!?!!?!
so mr ben here today decided to start on his gym and running routine so he can join safsa dragonboat with no issues.
I got my gym schedule sorted out , i had a plan . ok . cool.
So i got to the yishun gym .... checked out the weighing machine ....
AND HOW DID I BECOME 10KG HEAVIER ! how in the world did that happen ???
okok , wait a minute ..... i know i have a insatiable hunger for good NOWADAYS ( hey , that's only recently ok . usually i'm pretty NORMAL . )
but how can it put 10kg on me ! haha . whateverrrrrr.
i can lose these weight in no time lah. i hope =)
Anyway , one of my coursemates is the former president of NUS motoring club ... we talked a bit about motoring sports that kind of stuff .... and then i realised i still love cars and driving ... but i know deep down i can't chase this passion . :(
financial woes eh . i'm not brought into this world as a kid who has rich parents who will buy him playstation and sega. i freaking played with ninja turtles when i was young . haha !
But i feel so sucky . bcos i have a dream . a passion . but i can't chase it.
You know ... a lot of people say , chase your dream. Never give up on your dreams if not , that's a total disaster .
Well , i'm all prepared to work hard and be able to support this expensive hobby . really . It's something that i really want to do all my life man . haha .
and xin wei mentioned it'll be cool to date a professional racer . AHEM AHEM . HAHA ! maybe professional drivers appeal better to girls eh . gotta try it out then !
one good memorable moment of my life. =)
one month outdated .... cause i just got hold of the part from my girl. =p
the moment when i really felt the 9 months finally coming to an end . Hell , torture and tears finally paid off . Commission le !!
14 June 08 -Marching in !
Commissioning parade formed up.
Daddy putting on officer rank for me.
Dad , bro , me , mum !

When it comes right back to hit you.
Finally , operations has ended ! We can finally take a break now... Look at me now , the fat is starting to show because i spent most of my time in a SUV car moving around and not doing any exercise.
When i finally have time to start gym and running , guess what . I'm on COURSE next week ! ARRGGGGHHHHH .
apparently it's a one month course in Kranji .
Then guess what . After the course ...... I'm soon on my way to THAILAND . WHAT THE.
Man , i'm so gonna miss the dragonboat regatta in november. :(
I started thinking about it you know , when i was an elite in the past , with a rich cca record , as a strong leader , with all my ncc good friends , we all possessed one flaw - EGO .
We had this very huge ego , like as if we are damn good . elite . It came very natural to us to have this kind of thing within us .
Then later on was my poly life , which had no changes because i was in a very strong and competitive dragonboat team , of course this flaw stayed in me .
Then came NS . Hit me big time . I knew i was good , but i couldn't perform better than people . ( only the first 3 months of ocs was nice . ) People did not have a good impression of me , instructors disliked me . They think i'm totally fucked up .
When everything went well , bcos of me , nobody knew . Everything that went bad , even if it's not my fault , somehow , somebody up there made it a fact that they will be present to witness my mistakes.
My ranking in the course was pathetic . I never ever performed so badly in my life.
It hit me then . Because i was good and so proud about it in the past , i was now made the lowest of everything i can ever knew .
Even right now , the present , in my new unit , i'm still having problems .
I told my brother about it , he gave me some advice. Kind of like , "don't let this bring you down . Whatever's wrong happening to you , Don't let yourself perform such mistakes on others. "
Yeah , i signed 3 extra duties. Not totally my fault . not totally even a mistake. I was sulking and complaining that very day .
Then what a Professor , Randy Pausch who showed up on the Oprah show , what he said , recalled on my mind .
Don't complain. Work harder.
yeah , that's what i gotta do then.
New objective !
I told my bro , i'm gonna get a car next year. Because biking is just too dangerous , and not COMFORTABLE ( from long rides , no air con and plus the rain is just annoying ) , so i decided to get a car.
I mean , face it man . Singapore is trying to lessen the amount of personal transport with the heavy ERP , fuel and whatever charges.
I thought about it , there's no way to avoid personal transport. Imagine u wanna carry quite a lot of tools , or equipment to your work place . Where you gonna put it ? a cab ? then after that take out , then go home put back cab? Not good man.
Then let's say , u wanna go shopping at Tampines ikea. then after that feel like eating Newton hawker ( MY fav supper spot ! haha ) , then how . Take cab also quite dumb right .
What ? take mrt or bus ? vomit blood already man by then.
I was thinking of making my bro and dad chip in to some minor expenses like parking or tax , you know , i wanna make it a family car thing , like everybody own it . My bro says that is so shameful .
!$!$@!%!%!^%^!^%!%! ???????? wah , i'm just gonna be a freaking 22 year old next year lei , the max i earn is what ? 2k a month ? a bit crazy lei ask me to tahan all the costs . I'm intending to do my own business that kind of stuff , but i'm not expecting to earn big bucks at all in the near future .
Rightttt , but he sure presented a fantastic idea . He said not to mention abt this car idea to my parents , just buy it . then bring my parents downstairs , TA DA ! at the parking lot downstairs .
haha , so my dad wun freaking complain this car no good lah , this car small lah , this car eat a lot of fuel lah . My dad arh , everything also like to kao pei kao bu one .
That's my dad . Anything wrong only , just kao pei you . WAH LAO EH .
i'm looking at the new Honda Fit . That tiny puny car , yes i know . But fuel's pretty good :) but dun know statistics true or not lei . 21-24km/L a bit crazy lei . Better than my bike u know .
so check it out , pretty nice eh ?
man , really looking forward to my own set of wheels !
