Boring Sunday...

Okaaayy...
so I came to duty late so I can train this morning..
but damn...i am soooooo bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can just complain the whole day but I am going to do a short cut - "RANT! RANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANT"
Done.

Righto, year is 2011, did I post anything for this month? NOPES!
half a month to think of a post and all I am typing now is this rubbish??? HOHO!!!
For those who click/type the link to this blog, anticipating a very serious, thoughtful, or otherwise interesting blogpost... *Squeeaalss* YOU ARE DISAPPOINTED!!
HARHARHAR

Anyway,
Next week is the inaugural youth kendo tournament! I AM A YOUTH STILL (At least by competition rules standard...).
Don't feel like 2 years ago... but hey! it is going to be the first time I get to fight with mk and josh! harhar! so mk! better don get confined else I will confine your butt okay?

hrm!
Sometimes I wonder about a future in our dear country - Singapore.
Standard of living has increased so much in our nice little red dot that sometimes, I feel it giving me a rash!
Food prices are increasing, transport prices too... housing... weird people... etc... I mean,
It makes you feel kind of glad that at least one thing is not increasing right?
WAGES
(Pfft.)

Like how many of us is going to manage to get a job that pays you >$10,000 per month?
You know, I remember there used to be a time when i felt that Hey! $3,000 - 5,000 per month is not bad riiiiggghhhtttt.
It probably still be.
Of course you will be paying for your housing throughout our breathing living life....
maybe after still
perhaps your child's life as well
heck, pay in hell.
okay, joking (I hope!)

But who can get that kind of money once you start? of course you could ask for that amount if you entered a university...
hmmm
I wish I was more of a risk taker...then perhaps I might be good at playing with stocks(storks)...
There is where the money is... seriously...
Of course once you get burn, you burn in hell...

The end of the

year 2010....

Christmas has come and gone, the year 2010 is ending...
Time sure pass don't you think? not long before, i remembered me in camp on christmas eve, doing guard duty and now, it is the year 2010's end.

Looking back, it has been quite an eventful year.. but after all, which year isn't. But then again, I can't for my life, review the past year.

But i digress.

The year is ending and next year promises to be better, every year is.

Event for the year? ORD! and university i hope.

And I guess i should start committing myself into some resolutions. I don't usually do because I rarely (NEVER!) keep them. But it is a thought, hmmm....
Perhaps one thing i want to do is to get my japanese right
But it is so difficult!!!!!!!! SIGH!
But it is always all talk and no work :(
Same as my fitness! hmmm...


Few days past, Grace went to port dickson and had a time of her life! leaving me to sulk in one corner as i wasted the days of my off/leave (FEEL GUILTY BA!)
But she brought back 3in1 white coffee and my! it was a big satchel and it does taste great!
No weird nescafe coffee "roasted" smell... not so sweet, foamy... hmmm~~

Well, next year, I hope to go Phuket with her! yeah! something to look forward to! :) :)

Next year..
Next year...

2 years and counting...

Hey all!

Just an update, Nov 30th was the official 2 years anniversary with grace! WOOTS!

We had a very simple celebration :) just a dinner and all...

but the night before, we tried out some javanese massage! not bad! hahah!!!

I recieved from her handmade ginger breadmens! but the most thoughtful thing of all was a handmade book detailing events of our lives ever since our first year.

The thought that she had started the book then and studiously updated it... sweet :)

reading the book brought me briefly down memory lane, the times we had, both high and low.

The high we keep, the low we improve and work towards our next year :)

Love you my dear!

What the future has for me...

Soooo.....

I have been wondering lately what I am going to do next time.........

Teacher? Police officer(yeah, recent addition), or run of the mill regular office going boy?

HRMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Will be applying for the physical proficiency test next month for march.... I have to pass for entry to NIE degree for PE (so they say). So I will have to start training! YYOOOSSHH! I have enough time! (I hope)...

If I fail, I would just grab a regular normal degree and probably sign up as a senior police officer lol!

Either way, been thinking a lot about what i would do after army... I would lose my monthly "allowance" of $800.... what would I live on? perhaps a part time job? but what should I do? What can I do? HMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Next question... where should I go for my ORD trip??? Phuket? HK? Taiwan!?

SO MUch deCISIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

haha!

*think think think*

Oh, and...

tutu is my beloved cutie!

Assets

ASEAN kendo tournament has just been concluded, there was so many exciting matches! so much so that i lost my voice cheering on day one in the woman's matches haha!

Overall, the competition was extremely intense, with daphne winning 1st place individuals and the girls winning the first place in team. Guys were equally good, glen, the underdog!, won 2nd place and team A managed a 2nd runner up.

But that aside, i chalked up a pretty miserable performance. 2 lost 1 draw. I don't really believe it is the competition but rather a personal thing. It is totally different to compete with people outside your country and be exposed to judges with different perspective that I am used to. But the loses made me think of various issues...

Consistency.

I feel that throughout the years, my kendo has been pretty inconsistent... that fighting for a point doesn't neccessarily mean attacking more but perhaps means fighting harder. Though the line is blur, but being too excited and just going for it is perhaps not a clever thing to do. A calm mind, a stable body and a cut that is worthy of a point is perhaps more important. And when you are a point down, focusing more on these is more important than perhaps chionging all the way... hmmm....

more things to work on....

anyway, yesterday night was crazy!

with senseis getting drunk, we were also getting a little tipsy.

When hasebe sensei is drunk, he really is funny! like some japanese game show host haha!

"WHO AM I!?!?!?!"

"COOOAACCHH!!"

hahaha! really a night to remember. must more interesting than last ASEAN's sayonara party. but maybe it is because of the location it is held.

On another note, had a talk with one of the seniors and agreed that nyp kendo seriously needs some perking up... hmm....
