Just browsing fb and saw grace's photos of ireland, the picture of the polar bears in the shop window during christmas, motivates me to want to provide a good life for my precious TAY YU LING. How to achieve, still got so many small things I've yet to achieve. Find a suitable/likeable course in uni, and still have to tackle driving. Many things coming le, BABY'S birthday, her cousin's wedding as well as Christmas. I'm sorry that I can't be with you during your birthday baby dear. We shall celebrate it on Hari Raya that long stretch of break okay (K)(K)(K)

Well things did not go as I wanted it to go for the last weekend before going for enlistment. I still had the best time laughing and playing with my dear at Yishun MacDonalds =D Had so much fun keeping her company :-* will miss you VERY MUCH when I go in. Hang in okay 17th can spend time with me!

Why does it always turn out this way

2009-10-03T09:09:00.005+08:00

I'm sorry how things turned out last night. Amazing isn't it how I seem to be so full of empty promises. Slow, late, short tempered. I did not even go out of the way just to serve you. Abit the useless, I know now. It seems every time I try to make up for something, something else happens.
Sorry is just a word, it will not turn back time or undo anything.
Stay by my side oh SWEET CUTE one of mine, ~you hold me tight!~

I'm not sure if you are able to read this and still have enough time for me drop over and have dessert with you before it's too late, before you go bbq, I REALLY want to PEI you from noon till night, but you are probably still sleeping now. I'm willing to make amends! I hope today does not go to waste.

I know you're suppose to side me in everything and cover my back :) but do let me know when I've wronged you or others. Try not to suffer in silence :) everyone could do with a little self-improvement.

Comments: The squats frequency was much faster than previously. Good thing, less lazy feeling. I guess I can point out my flaws, from set 4, some of the reps are wobbly on the way down. Working on that should bring me closer to having a stronger foundation. Strong base - higher peak! Did some skin-the-cats, one arm negatives, L-sit pull ups.

New Breakfast

2009-03-30T11:13:00.002+08:00

I'm trying out egg salad (for breakfast) from now on just to see whether i can cut down on my acne by removing as much unnecessary carbs (bread, grains ect) So that means no oats in the morning. I still keep my Quinoa. I'll reintroduce them slowly once the acne clears up hopefully. Eating one now while writing this entry. Soya sauce and sesame make a great dressing!

Egg Salad

Greens

Lettuce
Onion
Carrot
Celery

Dressing

Extra virgin olive oil (cold pressed)
Lime (optional)
Soya Sauce
Paprika
Ground Oregano
Spaghetti Balognese Herb Mix (yes i do cheat)

So you do the usual just mix them up then topped with chopped walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. Add the sliced hard boiled eggs on top, sprinkle some salt and EAT!

I initially wanted to try peanut butter but i figured it makes the dressing too thick like sludge, so I'm going off to eat my tablespoon of peanut butter now!

For everything that is popular
Whatever happened to real talent
Without you I would not have kept it true
To the 'left' path
Speed
Technicality
and downright brutality
Your existence kept me in check
Your very existence completes me

Ironed out my old jeans including Edwin. Decided to make my own creases rather than factory made. Tried to flatten the Buffalo one out, the honeycombs are faint but the whiskers are stubborn. Kept the whiskers from Edwin. More like they just took the form when i clothes-pegged them.

Splits

2009-01-09T09:54:00.002+08:00

After yesterday I have come to realise that I think I might have split personalities. I notice that every individual I hang out with I behave and interact differently. It's like I will mold into their personalities, and often amplify their emotions.

So like if you're happy, and you're lucky, I might make you happier.

If you're emo, well that's just gay.

I just might have personality fragments from everyone.

Okay since there is no training tomorrow I'll bring my 10kg to do dips at the nearby exercise corner.

Fat Cat's Big Day Out

2008-12-19T22:22:00.002+08:00

Well Fat Cat broke his personal best of 117.5kg with 135kg on the squat. Absolutely could not do 137.5kg. Bench press was aiming for 107.5kg it seem Daniel (gym instructor) had his hand there, so according to the great Rippetoe, NO COUNT!

Was chatting with Daryl just now about the church people hangout, made some interesting scenarios (our bullshit, we don't expect you to put up with it) so here's one at Fish & Co.

"Hi, I would like to order a beef steak."
"Sorry sir, but we do not serve beef."
"Well you better be sorry!"
"Sorry, we only serve food from the sea."
"Well, in that case, I'll throw a cow into the sea then!"

Tomorrow's the Big Day

2008-12-18T22:29:00.005+08:00

Well well well its been a long 13 weeks, many things have happened since i started this blog. I've come to a close for my Smolov squat program. No this blog won't shut down. Well tomorrow's the 1 RM day. I want to hit 130.

Learnt many things, more discipline to sleep well, because squats don't come easy! Well you could say i miss those days of the 9 and 7 grueling rep days (4x9, 5x7) as well as those mother fucking crazy 3 rep days (3x10). Well it's all OVER now. Pulling through was good but I let myself down in certain aspects. I lost steam, did not sleep well, enough or early for that matter. But one things for sure! Milk baby MILK! Carton by carton of milk! Weight increase of 2 to 4 kilos. Strength increase, those 112.5's certainly did not feel like a fat cake anymore! Well 2, ah okay FINE! 4 kilos COULD actually be just enough to justify me as a fat cat but HOLD IT! *Counting* "One...two...three, four, five, SIX! Hahahaha! Well that's another story.

Alex is helping me getting my jeans altered to slim, thinking about it I surely will need to look for a godly belt to match with it. I don't think pyramid stud belts cut out to match worn-blue jeans very well. And scrap those branded belts which got their brand all over the belt body or buckle, just does not establish that strong vibe I am demanding. Well I know, you must be thinking, FUCK YOU! But hey! Who am I to say anything but "This is my blog wanker! There's always that little 'x' at the top right of your screen! Tomorrow's my big day and I should be as happy as I want to be!"

2008-12-13T20:11:00.003+08:00

This post is dedicated a close friend of mine in secondary school days. Dedicated to his beloved two grand mamas and mother, I'm sure they are in a better place.
Thinking about it there is no way I can understand how he feels. Frankly impossible since I did not get to know both my grand mamas and neither am I in contact with those who shower so much love on their grand children.
Well I'd like to think of him as strong/resilient rather than numb. Either way it's either you choke your emotion, or the other way around. Why don't you try and imagine having a loved one passing away every semester for 3 semesters consecutively.

On a side note: The above video of Megadeth's is in no way promoting suicide. But rather, it's when people have a loved one that dies and they end on a bad note, you know, they wish that they could say something to them.
The lyrics:

A tout le monde
A tout les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir

translates to:

To all the world
To all my friends
I love you all
I must leave

Happiness

Was thinking about it last night, or rather super early this morning! I came across a few lines associated with it very well a long time ago. Unfortunately i forgot the exact quote but I had a gist of it. Yeah, i Googled it with inverted commas. So far I've compiled a few good ones.

No one can take your happiness unless you let them.

Happiness is a decision that only you can make.

People are gonna always find what bothers you and pick at it until they get under your skin and get you upset. It is by your choice only that you don't let them do that.

Then I found one that was awesome, at no other place than Stronglifts!

The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it’s impossible to turn back.

The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black.

I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. – Henry Rollins.

So I've concluded that hanging out, listening to metal are what makes me happy!
And I've realised that squats make me the most happy lately!
