Memories...

went for a 40 min jog after i came home from my papers..geopolitics was ok also..they actually set 10 questions and let us choose 2 out of 9!! haha shiok ah..didnt expect that..c, thats y u all shud take geopolitics, the lecturers damn lenient and always come up with good surprises
anyway fuck it, exams are over..yeah! :p
WHY JOGGING IS GOOD FOR U ====>
1.It burns fats
2.It helps to tone your body
3.It helps you to get a good tan, if you run in the sun
4.You get to check out babes in sportswear
5.You get to check out the friendly neighbourhood dogs and cats
6.It de-stresses you
7.It helps to clear yr mind and think clearly (duh)
8.You get to check out guys in sportswear (haha! like i care lydat!)
anyway, it was a great run, i felt so liberated man..best part is i dun feel much from my leg injuries as i ran..shiok man..
can understand why jia jia says she doesnt sleep much after exams..haha..time just seem to be so precious that i dun want to waste it on sleep
IT IS ALL OVER!!!!!!!!!!!! THE NEW WORLD ORDER HAS ARRIVED!!! TO HELL WITH THE EXAMS!!
*hock is currently playing kylie minogue s IN YOUR EYES and dancing in the living room*
haha, its time to be optimistic and happy because in exactly 14 hours time, exams will be over, and a new world order will be established..i have more or less covered what i wanted for geopolitics, and gonna learn from my mistake for econs, gonna sleep early tonight......
people always complain when they r in the army, but really, sometimes to simply survive in the army u can just chuck yr brain one side...life as a civilian and a university student is much much more different. When u re in the army, u only care bout 3 things:
1) Book out day and timing
2) Pay day
3) Countdown to ORD
life can be monotonous and tuff esp when u dun have close army mates to suffer the same shit as u.. i was lucky because i had a wonderful platoon whom we all felt proud to be scouts or reconnaisance troopers, even though we may not show it overtly sometimes. We ve been thru the very worst shit together, in places as remote as Wallaby in Australia or the rainy jungles of Lim Chu Kang...We ve also experienced lotsa highs together, culminating in ATEC..we know each other's living habits so well, each other's faults and gd points haha..how we look naked individually
sometimes i miss such days of brotherhood..yeah i think i can call it that way appropriately..i used to be disillusioned after my bmt, coz i was the 3rd best recruit in my platoon of 50, but yet i wasnt selected be a spec or officer..i rem it left me very bitter, but looking back now, heck, why wud i want to exchange that for a group of trustworthy close friends,mates,buddies and brothers who trained, sweat, suffered and cried alongside u??
adversities bring out the very best of humanity, i still believe in that whole-heartedly. It is only thru the toughest and most enduring times then u can see the real person emerging from under the mask..maybe thats why the two groups of friends whom i trust personally and whom i feel personally bonded to are my JC ODAC frenz and my army mates. For 26th Is, we really have been thru so much together, the 22 of us..words alone arent enuff to describe what we ve been thru..i look foward to attending each and every one s of our weddings at the main guest table :p
maybe a fault of mine is that i inevitably always try to compare uni pple with those 2 groups of frenz, and it certainly is unfair of me to do so, esp when i only know some of these people for less than 5 months...sometimes i cant help it really, esp when i see so many pple around here with masks put up where they hide their real self..its quite sad sometimes when u think that for so many pple here, life in uni is only about studying and competing for better grades..i mean, u cant escape this reality, esp in singapore's rat race todae, but as i ve always said, life is much more than just about grades
haha, :p anyway exams havent end but i oredi got two offers of havocness liao..ktv or mahjong tom??? i wud love to have gone for both, but my throat s hurting = cant sing.. mahjong also cant coz i wud really like some good and peaceful sleep! mj can wait..my new tuition also starts tom night so yeah..lets take the new world order one step at a time haha! i m def going to jog tomorrow night!!! even if i m still not feeling completely well from fever and flu...as alex and i agree, we feel very very uneasy when we stop exercising for a period..good that my injuries from my bike accident are recovering as well..
thats it for tonight..i never use to be a fan of blogging, but recently i realize it keeps me in touch with myself.. hey, it feels good to talk to yourself sometimes haha!

NELL MELLOR!! YOU JUST FUCKING MADE MY DAE/NIGHT WHATEVER!! WHAT A CRACKING GOAL BY LIVERPOOL!! :p NEVER TOT I WUD BE SAYING THIS, BUT THANK YOU LIVERPOOL!!! I NEVER TOT IN MY LIFE THAT I WUD BE JUMPING UP IN JOY IN MY OWN LIVING ROOM AT 159 AM IN THE MORNING TO CELEBRATE A LIVERPOOL GOAL!!!!!
life is ironic isnt it? that match just made my dae!! THATS THE BEAUTY OF FOOTBALL, IT CAN REALLY LIFT PEOPLE S SPIRITS.. so much for the arrogance arsenal, here s a third finger from me!! *points 3rd finger at arsenal, esp. henry, lauren, and cole* ..must thank lehmann also hahahahaha u steaming stinking piece of monkey crap~
i feel all refreshed and ready to start another round of revision..the match was great, fantastic..come on united, time to climb the table and overtake arsenal

btw, manchester united fans always face a stereotype of being only fans who jumped on the bandwagon..i wud like to stress that there A LOT A LOT of genuine fans out there who have been following this team for 10 years, and who still support them even when they did not win the championship..i hate it when pple ask u "which team u supporting?" and when u answer "man utd", they give u this "oh another glory-hunter" look and presume u r not a real football fan..
fuck that lah
which reminds me, some of the people i talk to didnt even watch football until like 4, 5 years ago? where were the legions of "Blackburn fans" when they won the league in 1995? i see so many of them walking along the streets of orchard during that time,but when they got relegated, i dun see a single fucking blackburn jersey being worn..i do have a fren who supported them even when they were in division 1, and i respect that...but dun come and talk cock about man utd when u dun even know and support yr own team well
which reminds me also...u see so many new arsenal and chelsea fans popping up these daes, and the reason being again? coz they are winning trophies and doing well in the league
what bout liverpool? the vast majority of pool fans also arised because of their illustratious history esp in the 1970s and 1980s..
my pt is, it is natural to support a team who is doing well and playing attractive football..unless you are like my two geopolitics lecturerers, (one is born in newcastle,hence a geordie fan, the other a west brom fan) stop yr typical stereotyping for fuck sake yeah..
wahahahhahaahahhahahaha.....yes jia jia i shall put up a tagboard after my paper on tues..
actually fell sick todae..went to c doc in the morning and haha, his medicine power man, allow me to sleep so peaceefully..e negative side erhem is that i everytime after i read a chapter of terrioritality and boundaries and frontiers, i need to sleep 2 hours, heh and its truE! thats why i m not taking my nighttime medicine until later after arsenal match..
which reminds me..........
u fucking gunners better fucking get whacked haha! i m a man united fan, since 1993 i ve following them faithfully, i rem eric cantona was the main player who so inspired United to fa cup victory..to me he was and still is the best player for Manchester United..i feel lucky in a way to have watched players like him, mark hughes, brian mcclair, incey, kanchelskis and a little bit of bryan robson in action..its kinda wierd sometimes when u look back and realize that the next generation of Fergie's players, aka the nevilles, scholesy,becks,butt are all reaching 30..how time flies!
i rem cantona was really the man who inspired and dragged these youngsters along, and who sorta nurtured them in a way..was it 1995 or 1996 when he almost single-handedly led united to the double? man..i missed him at times, the ultimate combi upfront wud have been cantona and van nistelrooy
anyway i m digressingg..basically liverpool and arsenal are my two most hated teams, and it feels gd as a neutral to watch them slaughter themselves hahahhaha..
football has always been part of my life and will forever be..
anyway i gotta go back to mugging geopolitics, a module which i strongly encourage everyone to take..because it has two angmoh lecturers who r fantastic and funny..the module teaches about un, cold war, israel palestine issues, basically how the geographical aspects of territory and boundaries affect human relations and politics..its a combi of geography, history and political science..haha gd module really
karma has affected me quite negatively for the past week, but no worries,i know i ll get over them..esp when my papers end heh...thanks for all yr encouragement too jia jia!!
argghh, feeling terrible now man..have a spitting headache, sore throat, flu, and cant stop sneezing..haha, things arent helped when the whole world seems to have finsihed exams and enjoying themselves..nmind HOCK!! u must tahan!!!! 3 more daes onli wooahahhahahahah!!!!
i think i m going mad heh
i miss my wife who is still sitting in a bike repair shop at one corner of yew tee..my hand injuries are ok, but my leg one is still bad.. ll prob leave a scar haha...i have to take bus and train these few daes, which is refreshing in a way but also v xian..if there s anything which i hate, its waiting..i m actually quite an impatient person in some ways, a lot of times i dun like to wait for things to happen..sometimes this can be good sometimes bad...bad esp when u meet people who are more relak type, then u gotta adjust yr level of enthu ness, eg like in the army haha! sometimes when u r too onz in the army people will dislike u wan..for sabohing the rest..
haha, and i hate to be driven around, maybe thats why i dun like taking buses or trains, its like yr destiny is not in yr own hands...u are not controlling for yrself where u r supposed to be going, and u simply have to accept the route mapped out for u.. hahha, dun like that kind of feeling..
gosh..a lot of feelings spurted out now..my throat hurts..think fever coming..betta catch some sleep
manz...what a long long dae~
feeling sick now..econs was a killer paper, they purposely set all those funny questions which never come out before wan. haha..to think i stayed up till so late e previous night to practise all the past tutorials which i never touched for e whole sem hahaha....hmm, the only consolation for me is that apparently most people i talked to found the paper tough and a KO one..i want to copy also cannot, with the tables so so so so far away........and to be honest, i felt previous knowledge of A levels econs was pretty much useless here, when all the questions they set on were based on the current syllabus..
and i got a shock of my life the previous night because i studied mainly my jc notes, and then my econs s paper fren told me the previous concepts taught were outdated according to the lecturer.. !!!!!
haha nmind, its over liao...nothing much i can do now except maybe try and take more artsy modules next sem..i m not a very conceptual person,thats why i never liked maths, physics, chem, econs.. BAH!
went to watch incredibles with don after my paper..it was good!! hahaaha, quite some time since i go out with donny liao, so it was great that we spend some time bonding woohahah.. its really refreshing to spend time with yr old frenz, outside Arts club and Arts fac... i ve known don since j1, which means almost 5 years liao haha..he s always been a fantastic guy and fren..they say men age like wine, i think friendship too~

listening to clubbing music now AHAHAHHAHHAHA....
HOCK U MUST TAHAN!!! ONLY LEFT 4 MORE DAES!!!!!!
i can smell alcohol..smoke..babes..
was thinking when i was sleeping just now that next sem is going to be much much more hectic man..got bike hike, beach volleyball, futsal open, countless ifg games, and ifg soccer tournament to organize..haha..but i rather be doing these kind of events than studying man.. projects like this are not what u can learn in textbooks..its about man-management skills, motivational skills, organizing ability, teamwork, eq, resourcefulness, ability to visionage and put those vision into concrete plans...can u learn all these crucial traits in life from books and studying??
nahhhhhh
fuck textbbooks lah..i pity all those nerds all there in this world who only know how to study and nothing else..well, at least i hope they enjoy what they r doing (or reading or mugging)
if i ever become a manager or a CEO one day, and when i interview a potential job applicant, i will chuck aside his results and say "show me yr cca record, working experience, and what u learn from these experiences"
life is not just about mugging lah..there s so much more to that
yeah man! new blogskin up again...i like this one much better coz its got my fave colour green and its got a vehicular look ahahaha
notice that i am not studying econs but blogging and surfing for rubbish stuff..in semi-holidae mood liao man..yuimin finshed her papers liao..happy ah girl..me and suzi are shopping for her sex toy on 1st dec..hahahaha, its going to be a happening night man! mambo nite + her bdae + liberalization from exams + raphaus chalet coming...time to celebrate!
i got a tuition job again..will start exactly next tues after i finsish my last paper.. pri 6 student two times a week. Good thing is that this time its very near my house..my last student lived in woodlands, wah lau..then everytime ride bike there and back waste fuel man..haha, but speaking of which, she got 258 for her psle! 2 a stars and 2 a s..hahaha, and her mum was v pleased..good lah, i felt real happy for her as well... she s prob going st nicks, which i feel is a great girls' school
haha, from my past experience in jc and sec school, a lot of st nick girls have this exotic look..how to say leh..like quite guai but yet quite pai looks..yah..but "exotic" is the word heh heh
listening to
back for good by
take that..its my all time fave song since pri school..some songs just bring back a lot of memories, esp those which got sentimental or romantic values wan haha.. i can recall some songs which i shared in my past relationships..somehow whenever these songs come out, it just makes u think of the past eh..thats the power of music
hah, enuff for now hock..time for u to go and s.............sleep, not study ahahah
long dae ahead..i gotta mug econs for the whole dae hahaha!! nmind..its goin to be over soon..after that i m going to club and club and club
jog and jog
train and train and train..been puttin off my weight training sessions for quite a while grrr...so many things to do man! life shouldnt just be about mugging..this i m sure jia jia agrees wholesale with me haha
yay..got a new skin ahahhahahaha
manz..i couldnt sleep v well..dunno why...slept at around one plus am..then woke up at six and blogging now..YAWNNNNNNN
i shall go for a nice early breakfast of egg and ham sandwich beforei go koon again hahaha
hahahaha, i cant believe it man! its the first time i m blogging in 7 months! got kinda inspired after reading jia jia s blog..
SEA was ok..hmm..what i studied all came out..got econs on sat and geopolitics on mondae, but fuck it lah haha! i rather be blogging now heh
received a call from peter just now..manz my wife is in bad shape..her whole brake disc was broken ..now front brake cannot work..and one of the hydraulic parts leaked, so gotta replaced wholesale.. = $ gone..manz, my heart and leg pain nmind,now wallet also pain. haha, but ride bike is lydat wan..hmm someone who never fell from a bike before cant be considered a real rider.....sometimes i think riding a bike is like life in general..when u fall, u pick yrself up, dust off the dirt, and off u go again. I used to have so many bikee mates, now so many of them "retired" already..and quite a number is after they met with accidents, then they decide not to ride anymore..hmmmm..i for one really hope to fufill my personal dream of riding a Harley one dae ahahha! i just love the purring(or rather booming) sound of the engine heh..
when u r on a bike going at 120 km/h or more, u really feel like the king of the road, and the king of the world..u feel damn shiok..u feel so carefree..u feel the wind blowing against you..its one of the most wonderful feelings in the world, and only riders can tell you what kind of feeling that is..you have to go thru it yrself to really experience the thrill and feeling..
since young it has always been one of my dreams to own my personal bike..and it still is haha! its not just about riding around xianing char boh (haha it is partly), its also about being responsible enough to take care of yr own finances and yr own vehicle..i prob dun intend to ride a bike forever, esp when i have my own family next time..but at least next time when i purchase my own car i know i will be much more ready to know what to expect.. coe..road tax..inspection..parking fees..tp..maintence..insurance..etc etc
hahaha...i shall have a good sleep tonight and forget about econs..tom then see how lah~
