yum yums

screw my diet. i'm eating macs tonight. TONIGHT!!!! AAARRGGHHH!!!!

alive and kicking

just back from karate training. last formal one before exams.
we had our kumite training again for the upcoming IVP in may.
so here's a short clip of me doing a hook kick during the match.
i really liked this one. didnt know i kicked like that till now.
here it is.



this next video is a recording of me doing a 360 kick. wanted to start tricking for the longest time but never really got round to it. so here it is. my first trick into the tricking world.



and those who recognise that starting pose, my answer is yes, i ripped it from jujimufu. hahaha..

interesting...

i have yellow shit.

crystal clear

have you ever had a moment in time,
when suddenly you are struck by a sudden thought,
or feeling,
and immediately you know that its right,
without a doubt?

i've been feeling like that the entire day.
i only wish i could act on it.
maybe not now.

maybe.

i think...

i wont be moving.

When i grow up, i want to be...

hello!
jsut back from watching the movie the 300.
wah....
the movie rocks i tell you!
if i were a small boy, i'd go "i want to be a spartan when i grow up!"
hahaha... very nice. and in its own way, very motivational.

so well, today marks the last day of me enjoying myself. took it as tonight will be the last night i indulge in such things such as movies and arcades. after tonight, it will be time to focus entirely on work. exams not that far away. roughly 4 weeks left. better start now if i want to catch up with all that i've lost.

and on another note, karate ivp is two days after my last paper. i've kept to my goal of a kg a week so far. its been a week. i've lost a kg. woohoo! hahaha... training hard for the comp too. been told that there is a possibility to be picked for the sea games team if we win. thats an added motivation. coupled with my seniors saying i have the potential to fight better, this is really looking like a chance for me to live that dream of donning the singapore colours. on a side note, my senior represented singapore for karate too. so yay! i haf a senior who is really good. going to squeeze all i can out of him experience wise. wanna win this bad.

so yup.
SLEEPY TIME!!!

perception

currently in school, i'm taking a module on effective communication.
one of the things taught about is the matter of perception and how one perceives an action or a sentence makes a whole difference.

so just now, i was browsing through yahoo looking for things on karate when i stumbled on this question in the yahoo question and answers page.

the question was on whether according to the Quran, did Jesus ever refer to God as his father?

then there was this answer that i tot was amusing and made me really wonder too.

here's the excerpt:

"The 'Father' was the name in which many Jews called God in order to acknowledge His Divine Power of Creation. Jesus(A.S.) never meant it LITERALLY. So when someone called another 'the Son of God', it meant that he was a righteous man. It's just how the language was back then.

For example... Nowadays if I wrote you a letter saying you were 'the sh*t', 'the bomb', or 'my angel', you would understand the meaning behind it.

But what if our culture dies out, our language becomes a dead language and a later civilization tries to piece it together, what do you think THEY'LL get out of it?"


yup. i thot that shit part was funny. and that i started thinking of other normal words we used. like stoning. haha... ah well... matter of perception indeed.

like a rush of warm water

i almost forgot how nice it feels to be called affectionately by name.

i got you!

hello!

wah... karate is fun! hehe... got my first hard hit into my ribs today. didnt know u could get winded from there too. there was like a boom! and then a sharp pain throughout my body and i just wanted to keel over. but i stood up tall and kept and walking. and back to the fight!

heh... and i love my hook kick.

so yeah, ivp is on the 5th of May. aiming to fight in the under 75kg weightclass. so i'm going to have to lose 6 kg. which is roughly 1 kg a week. going to be a tough challenge. but its the goal i need to take part in this comp. have to do my best.

right. think i ought to shower now.

and study.

and maybe some sleep before that.

nitez!

uncanny likeness

first off, in no way is this meant to insult.
i just find it really interesting.

you really are starting to say alot of things that i myself have been saying all these times.

i suppose thats how the world works.

be my love

I just love my speakers.
can feel my table vibrate as the beats just come rolling out.
nice....

currently playing Justin Timberlake 'My Love'. mmmm...

so anyways, been such a long time since i updated.
and i recall promising updating on my adventures in my last post.
so i'll give a really late update on that eventful day. or rather uneventful. or weird lah. heh...

so yeah, what happened actually was my fren showed me this thing about auditioning as a host for kids central. and the auditioning was on saturday. wasnt very keen on it really. but then i thought about it and felt there was no harm trying. so i woke up and shaved and just wore whatever i had. and left to temasek towers there. met iqbal along the way and we went.

then when we arrived, i saw the queue. that was the first turn off. the next was the people in the queue. remember that this was to audition as a host for a kids channel. so just by looking at how some of them were dressed up, i felt that they didnt understand that. some looked dressed to impress. some had so much makeup on. was like a fashion show of sorts in someway.

ok, i understand that you do need to dress up for the role as well (i wore jeans and a tshirt and trackshoes. i believe in simplicity and being yourself). but they looked more like they were there to get a shot at fame. much like singapore idol. wondered if they ever considered that its just a JOB. a job that required u to be infront of a camera and spew out itsy bitsy cute cuddly things to children as they wonder what's going to happen to their rainbow coloured super heroes. like how joining singapore idol meant u shud be able to SING.

so yeah. after seeing things like that, i decided i didnt want to be associated with this lot of people. so i left. and me and iqbal were wondering what to do. so after much thought, we realised we were pretty near to harbourfront. so up the bus we went and off we were to the biggest shopping center in singapore!!!

once there, we considered watching a movie. but upon seeing the queue yet again, we decided to wander around. and at that moment, the quest for donuts began!!! and our grand quest lasted a total of roughly 2 mins! yes!

here's wat happened in brief:
-----------------------------------------------------
(on the escalator)
Me - "Bro, u know, i've had a craving for donuts for damn long now. then Emily was eating some the other day and now i really need one."

Iqbal - "hahaha. okok. we go and look around lah. think should have."

Me - "Yes!!!! lets go on our quest to look for the glorious donut!!!!!MMMMMM!!!! (turn head left) Oh look! its there!!!!! wat a quest it has been!"
------------------------------------------------------

hahah..... saw a donut parlour lah. wat were the odds?

so yeah, the rest of the day was filled with lots of reflection and stoning and munching of sweet sweet glorious donuts...

And back to present day, life has been pretty alright lately.

i'm in the karate IVP!!!! woohoo! joined karate about a month ago. was really happy to actually have a chance to go for the IVP. I can finally represent my school proudly! have to train hard. though i already have experience from tkd, the way karate spars is alot diff. have to relearn techniques to get the points. but at least the basics are there. like the timing, footwork, confidence, kicking and other experience based skills. work hard everyday!

Reza has got me hooked on learning card tricks now also lah. i've already got about three new tricks in my repetoire. which is good enough to quickly impress a few ladies and leave them in shock and awe. tried and tested just now. hehe... going to attend some film festival with him on monday. organised by his school. then he's been appointed bouncer ic. bouncer? really? haha... think i shall follow him. i think i make a better bouncer than him. then two brothers there. nice.

School work has been sucky lately. so far, i've been up to date with my chem, effective comp and computing. the rest like physics and maths.... leave much to be desired. now that i talk about it, i remembered that i need to set up my timetable of studying. have roughly 5 weeks to my first paper. going to chiong hard for it and get the grades i want. will not settle for less than B. and if i wanna go overseas, nothing less than A minus. all the best to me.

the school just had a talk about studying overseas. and wow!!!! apparently whatever modules u take overseas, the grades wont count at all. just like S/U-ing the subjects. FREE S/U'S!!!!! hahaa... next motivation for me to go overseas now. and best off all, they now have links to BRAZIL!!!!! ultimate motivator right there. haha....

yeah... life is good... though it can get lonely at times. but that feeling is slowly disappearing. thanks to a nonsense person. go sleep lah!!!! haiyo... wait give me that stone face again. you know who you are. hahahaha...

right.

till next time!
