So much has changed.


timings, schedules, work, and others.


learning to adapt now.



its time to accept it and move on as well.

soccer was good. scored the most beautiful goal of my life nov 2008. remember its ok to lose as long as u lose like a winner, and playing beautiful football is so much more worth than winning a game or match. but most people wouldnt understand that.




:] gotta go. phase 2 of my training takes place. once again daniel cant meet me. urgh. but sometimes alone is still the best. even when i need a spotter. but i cant train with him all the time can i? =] must persevere. cya all for pnp tonight.

So far away... 14th Nov 2008

Memories do flash back all the time, its just that they keep getting fainter, hopefully its coz new ones are coming in, not because the old ones are fading away. :[






















LOTS of work to do. lucky i have music and my goal to spur me on. look forwards.

Pain is weakness leaving the body. Stay healthy, stay happy, be true to yourself and be a gentleman.

its getting late. Match canceled. Volume increased. Mass factor is on its way.

everything is going according to plan.

why do u ask

One of the top questions Arnold was asked by the general public and bodybuilders all around the world throughout his career was how he stayed motivated during his training all these years.

The MIND is a powerful tool for creating a powerful physique. If the power of the mind is focused, the possibilities are endless. if the negeativy enters your thought process, it will affect your progess as a bodybuilder and also your daily life.

Just wanting to get big is NOT enough. you have to use the power of your mind to visualise the MASS, shape and symmetry you want to get and build up. Bodybuilding is an art form, and you have to think of your body as a sculpture.

Arnold said, ''when you look into the mirror, you have to see yourself as you are, who you are, and as you want to be ALTOGETHER''

You MUST ENVISION the MASS you want to create and the body you will soon get. Focusiing such images gives your mind a clear cut task and a definite goal to achieve.

One tip Arnold employed was the use of role models to motivate himself to train harder. He placed a photograph of his role model onto the fridge as well.

This way, by constantly looking at the photo, he was ABLE TO KEEP HIS MIND HEART AND SOUL FOCUSED ON THE TASK AT HAND, AND THAT CONCENTRATION INSPIRED HIM TO GREATNESS.

You light the skies, up above me
A star, so bright, you blind me, yeah
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t fade away, don’t fade away-

Oh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl
We can rule the world-
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world-

If walls break down, I will comfort you
If angels cry, oh I’ll be there for you
You've saved my soul
Don’t leave me now, don’t leave me now

Oh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl
We can rule the world
Yeah you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world-

Ooooooooh

All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you
All the stars are coming out tonight
They’re lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you-

Ooooooooh

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl
We can rule the world
Yeah you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world

All the stars are coming out tonight (oooooooh)
They’re lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you-
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you,for you-

All the stars, are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you, for you-
All the stars, are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you,for you-

LAST POST OF THE MONTH Tue 9th Sept 2008 mia till 2009.

every ending

















has another great beginning, whether u dont or do believe.













offical anouncement of the end of 2 significant events.





taking a break from boy's brigade. need time to space out and rest from activities.



also, ive been slightly deluded by soccer.

ahh.

will be leaving the starting 11 team representing Chs for soccer games. still will go for training as a sunday kickaround, since i have to...zzZ. been thinking about it and i realise its not really what i want. instead im just playing for the sake of playing. because the rest of the guys are.:// ahh.

in the end, its the same difference, whether im in or out, during the match, the supporters bench is always empty. so much for unity and whatever bootlicking phrases... dont want to be a calafare anymore.

thats the reason why i cut the ties.






but i'll be back. just u wait.

Daniel Bedingfield . this is one of the few one hit wonders. =] ahh



If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this **much** is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

Wed 3rd Sept 2008 immune

Firstly, i dislike/hate stereotypes, judgements, negativity.

i mean like, they keep on making fun of what you do, because they do not know why you do it. And also they poke fun at you, dont believe that you will ever make it to the top and stuff...

And like, lets say you have a talent. I respect that talent and give my support for it even though it doesnt concern me you know? but when its the other way round, somehow or rather, due to the stereotypical impression of what society makes them/us out to be, they laugh and keep on prodding you nerves... its just so annoying.

it doesnt really affect me though but just would like to say this because if this carries on, i mean, its not going to do everyone any good is it? we'll just have more disagreements and there goes the unity we all wanted... o wells. i cant do anything. but yeahh.












(i mean, alot of people look at you and they think its strange what you're doing, but obviously those are the people who do not know much about it)

(i have to cut my emotions off, become cold, in a sort of way, in order to focus on the regime)

(if my car got stolen outside this instant, i couldnt be bothered, you know? i mean, i trained myself for that kind of thing, to be cold)














apart from all those, really encouraged and surprised by a my officer. during the end of the meeting and like we prayed abit. i was so shocked that someone actually prayed for me and believed in me and like showed concern to the sport that i would pursue and yeahh, really never felt so good to know that actually there are still some who care ( apart from my parents of course ), and some who know what i can achieve and know that i would be able to press on . mmmm yeah. so touched.







Mr Robin Ang, Jeremy Pan and Daniel =]


heartfelt thanks to 3 people for encouraging me through these tough weeks and the weeks to come. ahh. i just love the team spirit we small group have. just so different and cant be found anywhere else. other people are too caught up with their own lives. hmm. but its okayy. jiayou everyone. ://

Fri 29th Aug 2008

will be missing from now till monday. =] bb company training camp. and training also. =] cya ...



i need food...

Tue 26th Aug 2008 you want to know why? heres why... just doing it

The body that isn't used to
maybe the ninth, tenth...
eleventh, and twelfth rep
with a certain weight.
So that makes the body grow, then.
Going through this pain barrier.
Experiencing pain
in your muscles and aching...
and just go on and go on.
And this last
two or three or four repetitions...
that's what makes the muscle then grow.
And that divides one from a champion
and one from not being a champion.
lf you can go through this pain barrier,
you may get to be a champion.
lf you can't go through, forget it.
And that's what most people lack,
is having the guts.
The guts to go in and just say, ''l'll go
through and l don't care what happens.''
lt aches, and if l fall down....
l have no fear of fainting in a gym...
because l know it could happen.
l threw up many times
while l was working out.

But it doesn't matter,
because it's all worth it.

















But my main thing in mind is....
My goal always was to even out everything...
to the point that everything is perfect.
Which means if I want to increase
one muscle a half inch...
the rest of the body has to increase.
I would never just
make one muscle increase or decrease.
Because everything fits together now.
And all I have to do now is get
my posing routine down more perfect...
which is almost impossible to do.

















lf you want to be a champion...

you cannot have any kind of an outside
negative force coming in and affect you.

Let's say before a contest,
if l get emotionally involved with a girl...

that can have a negative effect on my mind...

and therefore destroy my workout.
So l have to cut my emotions off...

and be kind of cold, in a way,
before a competition.

That's what you do
with the rest of the things.

lf somebody steals my car
outside of my door right now...

l don't care. l can't be bothered with that.

l would only have my secretary call
the insurance agency and laugh about it.

Because l cannot be bothered with it.
l trained myself for that.

To be totally cold
and not have things go into my mind.






hidetada yamagishi from japan proves its not the genetics. =]








uhh past few days been busy, football training just reminded me of my sailing times at sembawang saf yacht club. =[[ i miss the weather. it was an extremely muddy field with up to ankle level of water. cold water. heavy downpour during training. similar to sailing, i rmb many times i could only see 10 metres in front of me, rain hits me so hard it hurt, =] that cold feeling. alone in the middle of the sea kinda thing. but it was fun. hmm. a very safra week. haha. bumped into many familiar people along the way. mm. haven had youth in a long while, good good. sticking to my small circle of friends, =] which was good. dinner here and there. wish we could stay this way forever. =] cant wait for everyones exams to b over, then sentosa and cluny again!!! awww... but for now. good luck everyone! keep each other in prayer!. . . yay i finally got 1 close school friend. 1 only. =// slowly, bit by bit.



and i have to work now... bah. wanted to make full use of this holiday... haiz. :// now got less time... how am i going to find a job nw. =[ im like so busy...



ahh all i need are bigger t shirts!! hint* hint* lol. size L or something will do thanks! haha. joking. lack of shirts !!! ?! cant fit....

Wed 20th Aug so farrr

hmm anyways, gonna update on the more interesting things since previous post. o.0

went steamboat with pan sus aloy gwong. at kp. =] funny dinner. laughed our hearts out. enjoyed ourselves.

went shopping yesterday. for stuff to give out. hint hint* . went back to chs with sus and pan. met gwong. who was working there. doodled with wrapped up gifts. =]

haa drew some of the youths faces in caricature style. =]



hmm. thats all for the past days. training 4hrs plus as well. doing research, analysing how the pros do it. videos, stuff...








hmm. been a super busy week. but somehow every thing was excellent, the slow relaxed pace of the kind of life that we all enjoy. =]








things to do: cluny park, sentosa, beach road (check out some apparel)


now that i think about it, my room is super peaceful and a good place to brainstorm on stuff. with music box playing soothing soundtracks, its really nice to be alone at home though its boring. =] sleep, rest, eat, stuff... super clean and tidy room as well, spacious, thanks !!!

it starts. today. no procrastination, no coach. no nothing. just yourself and adversity

Good athletes have the same mind...
when it comes to sculpting,
than a sculptor has.
If you analyze it,
you look in the mirror and you say:
''I need more deltoids, more shoulders,''
so you get the proportions right.
So what you do is you exercise...
and put those deltoids on.
Whereas an artist
would just slap on some clay on each side.
Does it easily. Maybe, the easier way.
WE go through a HARDER way...
because you have to do it on a human body.













I mean, obviously a lot
of people look at you...



and they think it's kind of STRANGE,
what you're doing.



But those ARE the people
who don't know much about it.



As soon as you find out
what the whole thing is about...



then it's just like another thing.













It's not any stranger as going into a car...
and trying to go in a quarter mile,
five seconds.
I mean, that's, for me, strange.
The greatest feeling you can get in a gym...
or the most satisfying feeling
you can get in a gym, is the pump.
Let's say you train your biceps.
Blood is rushing into your muscles,
and that's what we call the pump.
Your muscles get a really tight feeling...
like your skin is going to explode
any minute.
It's really tight, it's like somebody
blowing air into your muscle.
It just blows up and it feels different.
It feels fantastic.
