it has been pretty muddy lately. the woes of washing muddy trng gears after trng. :/ but ok, i must admit and give thanks to mother poon for finishing up the washing. i do the part one, she does the finishing bit.
had fitness today. almost died after not doing fitness for so long. sprints.
100m x 4
80m x 4
[40m x 3] x 3
[80m x 3] x 3
50m x 5
ok. something like that. i can't rmbr anymore.
its those moments when on the field, u're all wet, breathless, but you have to keep going because u see ur teammates infront of u; that that sacred part of ur mind starts to get activated. u start becoming logical yet self-motivating. no choice, but to go on.
the first game for the season is in a months time, and i've got lotsa work to do. i dun want to give myself excuses, but i think my knee might be one of the reason i can't go full out into my tackles. dun want to go into the technical stuff, coz i guess ultimately, it's all up to the mental.
like i always say, once you've overcome ur weaknesses, they become ur strengths.
onto today's practical.
interesting. we got to remove and install the Cessna's starboard aileron. the AMM was like a 3 pointer to remove. hahas. and good to have small hands coz then, i put my hand through this small opening to align rod inside. and tmr, its the rudder! yea, and it's pouring outside when we're at it.
had a long wkend, plus a long day at school work on monday.
it was raining 70% of the time. so orders were in / out. but still wet in the rain.
first time posted to Punggol East hub in the afternoon. then went to Bedok Point to carry out my evening shift. and finally went to Downtown's hub to courier some stuff to the manager.
hahas. in the afternoon, spent some time talking about bikes while waiting for the rain to stop. trying out other riders' zheng-ed up bike.. and a super4. Ooo. ahhas. had a good time actually.
and hence, today, from all the full long days, i felt super duper tired. i was so tired that sleep > hunger.
i slept for the first 30mins of lunch time man! hahas. chuan also- my lunch partner. he's like me, but he's driving the van for his food catering company.
ok
to be brief..
sat's Singapore vs HK test match at yck stadium..
then was Carols by Candlelight in church.
(oh wait.) i think i've blogged my sat on the last post right? hahahahhas. gosh. been so absent minded these few days. aiya. but here's some of the photos!
and glad to have a photo with the remaining few classmates from Sunday School. ahhahas. (:
yea, and the 2 boys beside me are my kindergarden classmates! hahas. friends for about 20 yrs man.
in the past, it was about the colour pencils, scissors and glue.. now, we're talking about business, paths to take in life and etc. short but sweet catch-up! (:
my awesome girlfriends, with lynette's (extreme left) 3 month baby!
(missing my gym/dancing/swimming/running buddy ulrica)
and finally, trying out jerome's bike. fazer. how can i resist right. though its a 2B with speed card, it's still a fazer. and damn smooth. vs my spark, i can truly understand why my kup is aka a market bike. ahhas.
and yes. followed by a long h2h session over at serangoon gardens till about 3am.
then sunday morng was the SIM alumni/current bowlers bowling tournament. 8.30am.
very very very glad to be able to bowl with my best bowling buddy amanda. great to be bowling with the guys again. ahhas. missing all those times we had during sch trng... how we bet over food, drinks, pool, $.. everything. ahhas. was held at our usual trng ground, so it felt so nostalgic.
and then lunched together with her, sz, kok and his gf.
then off to a very mudddyyyyyyyt trng while he had his league.
and dinner with the 2 of em' again! (: hanged out at parkway. they waited for me to get clean first and he drove me to and fro from dinner.
what a simple great time we had on a rainy sunday. been so long since i've hung out with friends like that.
went home, KO-ed.
and one of the fun photos taken during last fri's annual IMF gift-exchange christmas dinner meetup.
(:
though i think today, though i'm burnt, but i'm managing well.
i just want to thank God for everything. even for my downs.
its in such down times that we've really no where to go, but to go up.
been reading the ODJ. not very consistently, but whenever i do, i can sense that God is really trying to speak to me.... and on this day (see image below) it speaks about this lady on her dying bed. while she was saying her last words and trying to speak out her last wishes, it was all about ensuring that the people around her is fine and stuff like that. nothing much about her work, her job, the practical things that needed to be settled.
so it did left me in wonder.
though i wasn't really focused in my quiet time (as i was doing it in class before sch started), the message was strong. it did made me reflect about my life, my actions.
recently, i see drastic changes in my life.
in my attitude.
in my conduct.
in my thinking.
in my way of disciplining myself.
i'm probably not very proud of the life that i'm living right now. with the all struggles then i deem that are struggles that i'm facing right now.
i need a breakthrough. and its always the new year that gives us that imaginary boundary line to cross, get a drive, and start to make changes isnt it. and then, after one yr pass, we look back, reflect, and then realize the big deviation from our 'ideal life'-set-goals and then start to want to make that change again. a vicious cycle?
last wk..
drank before school.
late for school.
very uncouth in my language.
and yesterday, i actually took HALF DAY off sch just to go and work.
i mean, i finished my practical at like 1030am. and the teacher wanted to carry out the written test in the afternoon. so i asked the tchr if i was able to finish up the test before lunch and take half day. hahas. and the tchr being a typical rational and practical seasoned once-mechanic, he agreed.
i mean if i dont do that, the whole day will be wasted by sleeping in class, playing itouch games, tolerating my classmates nonsense and free flow of vulgarities being sprouted across the classroom- friendly and unfriendly ones. so why not go out and make some money right.
but honestly, that's not the right thing to do though it might be a better way to optimize my time and gain money. if it was earlier this year, i would have scorned at my behaviour big time.
idk.
but i'm quite afraid that i've just getting 'accustomed' by the worldly standards. i dont mean to want to define what the worldly standards are. but this is definitely not the life i want to lead and not how i want to lead by example.
ok. its 1.45am now. and i'm gg to reflect, pray and write more about these next time round. and i mean, since its gg to to end of the year and also a good platform for reflection right.
thanks for reading.
