gong xi fa cai... exercise na lai!!!

even though i'm working now and walking around more than i did when back in school, i still yearn for the day when i actually start exercising again. the problem is... walking around while working drains your energy, but it's not as effective as a thirty minute jog. so without all that exercise, i've taken ill twice in 2 months, whereas last year, at the peak of my physical period, i fell sick once in 6 months!!! that's a damn big difference to me lah. honestly i hate falling sick. coz falling sick means gotta spend money buying stuff to make u feel better, and u become less productive, you have to eat shitty bland food, your voice goes funny, your stomach goes funny, your muscles go funny, your brain goes funny, and your sleeping pattern goes funny. yah so being sick sucks. so to not be sick, i have to exercise more, but to exercise more i need more energy, but to have more energy i need to stop working hahaha so how? oh well...

chinese new year is here... means more food to make me FAT. sianz. not much mood again as usual, just that the hong baos come in and i gotta keep pouring drinks, and i can already assume what people will be asking me when they come over for the family lunch. pretty standard lah i guess. when you going ns, when will you know your results, how do you think you will do, what do you want to study in uni, how's your sister... hahaha standard questions lah. oh well... four day break... and hopefully badminton on wednesday.

sf: well according to my godfather you can lah... but it's all about the muscles as you said. just makes them tighter so that they can withstand more straining. maybe badminton will help...

derek: eh so how man? what's going to happen to you? sai kang warrior now? hahaha

bang: it's not exactly up to me whether will be I/C or not right hahaha if kenna then kenna loh... learning experience, get treated like shit and get pumped like mad. at least your pullups should improve :p

what's done is done...

baaaaadminton...

actually nothing bad about it at all lah!!! so damn fun to just smash the hell out of a cock with hair... i mean feathers hahaha today met up with louis, don, ming yuan, pradz and chris again. 2nd time already. this week's games were more... intensive? i mean we did have our share of laughs, but we played alot harder then last week lah i guess. i guess i've improved this week hahaha last week was really shit! never play for so long... cannot do anything hahaha

an example... last week i lost to pradz in singles 15-6. this week i only lost 15-13 and 15-12. improvement lah. shall beat him one day. my target for now. then chris beat pradz, so he's next hahaha ultimate is louis lah... that one... we shall have to see my rate of progress hahaha i shall update accordingly ;) oh yeah and today i tried a couple of jump smashes, and even though not all of them connected that well, but then all went down with some significant power hahaha so yeah... hopefully i can work on that :) since my greatest strength as i can see is my smashes :p my drops and netting need quite alot of work hahaha

clar, many and i were just talking about a cny steamboat for the class. a damn good idea for me lah, but then they wanted to hold at my place. i guess it's ok since i got 2 steamboat boats, and i got a huge wooden table that can sit like 20 people, even though i doubt tt many ppl will be here, but both weekends after cny i'll be working lah! damn sian. i mean we can have at marina bay lah, but then it won't be as cosy and private you know what i mean? anyway shall think about that one for now. will have to consider josh and derek, our 2 commandos.

and forgoodness sake... DEREK AH!!! bet u trying to be hero then jump off somewhere then can have knee ligament strain right!!! if u kenna out of course u will be in HELL i tell you! like no one will want you i think... kenna some store job or something :( look after yourself man

oh yeah met bang today too. him, me and rao had lunch at clementi. bang kenna platoon IC lah, so no voice hahaha plus he's come down with the notorious "tekong cough" so his voice is all hoarse now. but his arms have grown in size lah *duh* been through his 4 click route march already, so his knee hurts too. damn it must do some strength training for my knees now man. my ankles are quite strong already lah, thanks to all the vball and badminton. wonder how to train up knees... an injured knee isn't a very fun thing to live with. already someone in bang's platoon screwed up his knee... dunno broke or what lah, but was damn friggin painful. yeah... look after your knees...

what's done is done...

2.5 weeks down...

and already i've learnt alot. not just about engineering as whole, but about certain working characters as well. some people are really good at teaching and know what they're doing, there's the don't really know what they're doing and can't teach for nuts, there's the know what they're doing but don't give a shit anymore, there's the know what they're doing but due to the need to stop to smoke end up wasting alot of time hahaha then of course there's the people who u get the feeling don't really want you to be there hahaha

being with the guy who doesn't really know what he's doing and can't teach for nuts, is really really boring. made those couple of days i was attached to him seem REALLY DAMN SIAN!!! hahaha but today i was with the guy who's good at teaching and knows what he's doing, and time seemed to fly by. so it's all about who u're attached too hahaha actually i wanna do alot more in the place lah, but i don't really have the means to do it. because there are the full time technicians there who will respond to all the complaints and stuff, and even though they curse and swear sometimes, they still get the job done lah. so there's not much room for me to do things on the guest floors except change light bulbs :p all the repairing is done by them hahaha oh well... just do what i can lah... coz eventually one will run out of things to learn...

clar/wen/sf: yes vball on 10th of feb. SUN SUN SUN!!! hahaha probably can't play anymore... but shall try :) have an early lunchhhhh. dunno whether u're working or not shufang hahaha oops...

what's done is done...

workie workie workie and PS2...

ok so the reason why i haven't really been blogging lately is coz i've been playing soul caliber 3 and now god of war on bang's PS hahaha the PS starts more quickly and offs more quickly, and there are newer games, so just play that for now lah, even though i haven't finished NFSU MW yet, mainly because that game requires alot more time, which i don't really have right now hahaha the main reason why i'm on the computer now is so that i can adjust my driving lesson schedule since i got my roster already.

anyway february and march i'll be doing shift duty. basically shift duty means 7 days of working, and 2 days off, and the cycle continues. usually it's 3 morning, 2 afternoon and 2 night. morning is 0800 - 1645. afternoon is 1415 - 2300. night is 2300 - 0800. so when i'm doing night shift... will be trying my best to stay awake lah hahaha but apparently night shift flies by alot more quickly. maybe coz there's less people walking around, and it's just quieter overall. plus it's dark outside, and there are fewer engineers around to fix the problems, so u gotta do most of it, and time flies faster when u're actually doing something.

anyway work... ok lah. hahaha nothing really fantastic about it. just slowly learning more and more stuff about all the massive equipment in the hotel, and exploring areas that seem to come right out from a suspense movie (think alien). one of the guys there are really negative lah. but he does teach me stuff, but he's just too negative. i always try not to hang around him too much hahaha some of them are actually nice guys lah, except they smoke, so i just stay away from the smoking area, which unfortunately is in a location such that i have to walk by there every time i go to or leave the workshop. but what to do... hold your breath and walk faster hahaha

in feb and march i'll have a couple of off days on fridays, which means i can go back cj and PLAY VOLLEYBALL!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!!! BUT!!! jialat man... go back there sure throw face one hahaha gg back in february means i wouldn't have played for 2 whole months... omg... hahaha probably cannot dig... spiking no accuracy, and setting... don't even start lah. never could really set in the 1st place :p

oh well till end of jan i'll be doing 9 to 5... so that's all for now. i miss my class man, but not the school. oh well hahaha take care all :)

what's done is done...

when it rains, it pours...

last 2 days... omg there must've been this massive rain cloud hovering over singapore or something hahaha last time such rainfall didn't mean much to me. i mean i actually enjoyed it lah. can stay at home and just SLEEP! but when u're working in the engineering department in a hotel, it tends to bring with it certain... hydro-related problems. and whenever u deal with hydro-related problems, it's highly unlikely that u'll stay dry as well hahaha

well biggest problem was room 615 balcony lah. flooded to about the middle of my shin. i mean the balcony is so big, and yet the drainage hole is so damn small... only slighty bigger than a 50 cent coin. what's the bloody use lah! and so it got clogged with heaven knows what crap, and that made the water black when u churned it. hotdog (my colleague's nickname) jumped in and tried removing the clog with a metal wire lah. cannot. then vacuum... also cannot. spent dunno how long in that room lah! then stopped for lunch, after we managed to get like half the water out. then... IT STARTED TO RAIN!!! abort mission loh... no choice. just took out more water. dunno what they're going to do about that choke. major one sia.

then carpark ceiling leaking, another room ceiling also leaking... aiyah, the more it rains the more the leaks show lah. but some leaks really cannot fix lah, like the carpark one, coz the pipe goes into a beam and then into a solid pillar. wth man... can't see the pillar even if we wanted to. they even dragged out the detailed building plans man, just to see where the pipe goes hahaha

so anyway monday is apparently always the busiest day, and sunday is always the most boring. luckily i don't work sundays :p anyway back to reading torque. got new aston martin coming out man... cool. new honda civic too! talking about cars... i think i'm going to help my mum polish her whole car tmr. wonder how long that will take hahaha then do some housework before i go out. i'm not like the fix it guy at home lah... manual labour too. but it's ok lah. at least i got things to do hahaha instead of just rotting on a chair.
