I bumped onto the satellite telecast of Survivor: Gabon at 3.30pm. I starting watching when they have begun talking who to vote for in the tribal council. So this guy, Bob was sent to the exile island before and couldn't find the hidden immunity idol. So he creatively made one out of materials he found there and kept a secret about him finding anything. Randy comes along to discuss with him who to vote and both thought Randy might be in risk tonight. So Bob hands over his fake idol to Randy and he happily showed it to the host when the survivors were asked to show their hidden idol if they want to. I was giggling out loud ! I loved the way host Jeff Probst stood before the voting box and said, "The rules of Survivors state, that if a hidden immunity idol is played, then the votes casted against that person will not count and the person with the next highest number of votes will be voted out." The host paused for a moment, and revealed while holding the pathetically minature handicraft, "This is not a hidden immunity idol." Randy turned from a grin to a silent and visibly stunned look.

Wicked 1 [THIS IS MADDNESS]
My er jie got my mega mac meal from JP and I was checking if there's really 4 patties in it as on tv. AND WHAT THE FUCK ?! I GOT A BIG MAC IN A MEGA MAC BOX ?! You [Macdonald's] have got to be kidding me... First the Wasabi Fillet-o-Fish with no fillet inside. Now THIS!??! Who is exactly working the burgers and why isn't there process checks!? Btw, that Wasabi FAIl delivery came from the Yuan Ching outlet.

As predicted I slept past my phone alarm at 8.30am and woke up at 10am. My biological clock is getting screwed. I work my body out almost everyday and I don't take afternoon naps. But I just can't sleep early. I went to West Coast Recreational Centre for 3 games of bowling with liu yun. I was still okay with my scores of 95 and 113 in the first two games, but the third game I swapped from first bowler to second bowler and I just did not perform at all. The highlight of the day was definitely that hook strike which I was trying to demostrate how the pros hook the ball. It was a strike indeed.

Then took 143 to the new West Coast Plaza. So new, it's almost empty and squeaking clean. We toured around and I found my way to a shelf in Cold Storage that has Uncle Toby's Muesli Bars ! I bought the yoghurt flavour. I don't really like the oats sticking to my teeth alot in this flavour. I also bought Gatorade Lemon-Lime Powder and M&Ms Crispy. We walked on somemore, and settled our dinner at BBQ Chicken on the 3rd floor. The Korean Charboiled Chicken I ordered was really yummy and Q. Then we went our own ways. Took the bus 30 home ! I finished the M&Ms onboard ! I used to take 30 from Boon Lay interchange alot to Tanglin. For 4 years, I was late only once because the bus appeared late in the morning. Luckily I didn't get detention or some shit.

I've withdrawn $500 for my part of the agreement that I'll pay for new 40" SAMSUNG LCD TV my dad bought. It costs us $2319 from Harvey Norman.

The workout fever has caught on ! I thought I'd just skip today's training and do it tomorrow. But I still went down at 8.20pm and completed it before 9.30pm ! Tonight was really sweating it out ! I'll go down to JJ tomorrow afternoon. I know I can't wake up early tomorrow. Plus, they might stop people from entering the school due to A levels. That's all I have for u blog.

Tuesday night. I couldn't sleep. Upgraded my blog. I was skeptical at first about the gadgets idea that comes with the new blogging version. But it's neater and easier to edit the html codes behind this personal web space now. The friends list is also trimmed. Those offline and downed sites are now removed.

I don't think I can wake up tmr at 8+ for a breakfast and go for the AA training at 9am +. The timetable says week 4 is done on tues wed and thurs. I did it this afternoon and it was hell for my legs. The intensity increment was significant. I was immediately thinking how I'm going to do the same thing for wed and thurs.

I was really mad when I couldn't find my Uncle Toby's Muesli Bars (Forest Fruits) when I wanted it badly before i went down for the workouts. Er jie said she ate one. Did I really eat the other 5 from the pack of 6? I want MORE MORE MORE !

I just couldn't sleep early this whole week since I left army... I intentionally turned to bed sometimes before 9 and like now, fully awake and rolling with really sleepy eyes.
So I decided to check out the recent IVP results, but I only found '07.
The high jump event is less competitive than the A boys(JC) level.
From 1st to 8th in the IVP, we have
1. 1.91m
2. 1.80m
3. 1.80m
4. 1.80m
5. 1.75m
6. 1.75m
7. 1.70m
8. 1.70m

If I stick on with my conditioning plan, I should be able to hold up my name in the lower of the 8s when i compete in my IVP debut.

I caught an inspiring article from Uncle Sha, the familiar face of local track and field.


We all have dreams and what do you do when that dream of yours is deferred

Do you quit or do you comeback stronger, faster and bigger?

We all are capable of great things, so never ever give up on your dreams

Danny Glover narrates this powerful Nike ad, with lines straight from a Langston Hughes poem, “A Dream Deferred”

" What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore
And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?"

Sunday, 4.30pm.
On my way to Stadium @ Jurong West for some speedwork.
When I left it and headed home on a different route, I met Ben Quek on a tiny pink scooter ! I wonder what's he doing in Jurong ! Gf's house? or relatives' hse?

I felt so helpless today. I went down to Fortune Centre in Bugis to do an installment payment for the options course. Turns out, I need a credit card for that ! So the lady tried to swipe my card multiple times for the balance amount but the maximum she could was S$1k. Now I have to ask my sis to lend me her credit card. It's probably time for me to get my own card.
It's scary for me. Going to an office in 11th storey. A not-yet-20yo kid taking on the corporate working area. All these big and lonely decisions about the stockmarket course. I'd wish someone could lend me a hand on this journey to financial freedom. I wonder what's other guys who just ord-ed doing. I hope I'm right about this course and prepared enough to extract money from the stockmarket losers. If not, I've got nothing.

Here's a song to broadcast my feelings.

Too much love will kill you - Queen

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that its impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you wont understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.

Week 3 day 2 was done today. It rained after I went into JJ so I had to improvise by using a thin mattress behind LT 5 for my workouts. I never stopped massaging my legs in between workouts just now !
Only until now, I realised I read the workout instructions for the step-ups wrongly. It said 2x15. I always did 15 in a set. But to think about it, isn't one leg going to get an extra rep? So I did 4 sets of 15 lunges indoor in place of the 2x15 step ups. I almost crashed out in the last set of that.Managed to do a few sets of flexibility exercises to strengthen my core muscles.

Now I'm going to show you the Swede who will keep the flame burning for his country in hjump- Linus Thörnblad. In this video I uploaded, he's got the "SEY" factor. Gotta thank the skilled cameraman in focusing on the bouncing crossbar at the right time. And YEAH ! You can jump with a sleepy hairstyle if you want to. I will look out for this Swede after the departure of Staffan and Holm.

-Finian

Right now I'm training 3 times a week for hjump while waiting for my options course to start on 9 dec. The course is gonna make me quite poor, but I will see how it will work out for me in trading the stockmarket before I try and look for a part-time job next year.

Btw, I hope the sky u see above ur ship is not as scary as the one on my blog. hahas. Hope all is well for u.

Today's timetable:
Played the piano quite a bit after I woke up and re-watched Pride featuring Kimura and Yuko Takeuchi. Within 1 hour I'll be on my way back to JJ again. I want to wear my Lewis cap but the sun isn't big enough. In fact the dimmed sky signals an oncoming rainfall.

I fished something out from Lynn's blog... It goes something like, "...Anyone wanna contribute to my laptop fund? I'm looking at MacAir coz it's light, very light, and very very light..."

I will always remember Lynn for her funny jokes !

My colleague in office, Keng Sen(biggest size guy), asked me what will I do on the day after I ORD. My mind was a blank. But now, I have to be at home after lunch because a new LCD TV is coming.
Going library to return books.
And I've decided to give Mr Tan a call abt joining WAC. Tks Ronnie.
If I wake up early enough then it's basketball to get my legs jumping. Going library to return books.
