Thank You Mr Lee Kwan Yew

It's been years since I posted on this blog and thought today I should write something. This morning i woke up and saw the message on my phone that I had hope to avoid seeing in weeks. But unfortunately today was the day the news came. Our founding father Mr Lee Kwan Yew had passed away.

Thank you Mr Lee for your lifetime of contribution and dedication to Singapore and its people. Without your vision of Singapore, we would not be here today.

Because of you, I am proud to lift my head high and say I am Singaporean and I have come from a wonderful place that I can call home.

May you finally have a good rest and thank you for everything. You are mine and my family's hero.

84kg

wow wow.... i am so excited now!! Yesterday i was still thinking if i could even go down to 84 within this week.... cause been stuck at 85/86 for awhile.... Finally this morning after my run... i at first saw 85.3kg... was a bit disappointed... then i pull my weighting scale out from the wall to have a better stand... then bingo... i got 84.7.. didn't believe it and went to check again... wahaha... still 84.7 so finally i have hit the 84mark... its been a long long while since i seen myself at 84... looks like i lave lost those weight that i have gain during CNY and hopefully Christmas's weight will be gone by next month...

Looking at my progress i am expecting to hit maybe 80 by end of june... lets hope i really loose fats and not mass.... =)

On Track....

Ok its been almsot 3 weeks since i started my determination to loose weight, and i think results are showing now. I started off with 91kg and started to force myself to jog every morning. At first it was a torture of 15mins... but later i manage to increase it to 30mins and now i am at 45mins. Planning to increase it to 1hr when i get more comfortable with 45mins hee.. I have tried to make swimming with roger every Friday a compulsory and decided if possible I would throw in a few more afternoon swimming sessions when i felt motivated to drive there.

Food intake has been also been controlled, but i find myself a bit staving at times. I would try to keep to my 3 meals a day or having breakfast and lunch together. But this is not too gd, might have to figure something out. But i did notice by eating those take away food, my weight can be still maintained. So i guess my dad's term of "you can eat anything as long you exercise" is very valid.

So well today i manage to hit an all low 86.8kg which is gd cause i am able to keep to my "loosing 5kg in the first 1mth's" aim. After that i believe i should loose at least 2 to 3kg per mth. But of course the more the better. Was aiming to loose till 80kg... But at this rate i told myself.. why stop at 80 (which was an old target i was trying to hit) but aim for 75kg instead. So yeah another 11kg more to loose.

I hope by the end of this i can really get rid of this spare tire once and for all. Its time for a new me and good bye to the old me. Of course its for the Better and not for the worst. I am excited to see how i would be in the next 5mths... as i have decided to go on a restructured program. So yeah.... If any of you out there that needs encouragement to loose weight, can talk to me.. i am gd at making you feel bad for eating junk haha.. joking but will encourage you in ways that encouraged myself.

New Beginning

Ok, its been 2yrs since i seriously post something here. Well i finally decided to come back here again to give some updates of myself and might even use it to gauge myself from the current to the future me.

I Have a great 2009 with friends that i manage to get close with and knowing they would be there for me if i need them. Didn't achieve much in 2009 actually... i would call it my honeymoon period i guess. It was quite a bad yr in working life for me... since I have a hard time finding a job that suits my profession of a Computer system engineer.

So 2010 finally came... Started to wake up from honeymoon period.. My "gang" wasn't that active anymore as they all had other commitments or they just moved on with other friends. It was a bit sad but i tried very hard to keep them together. Although i failed but i still manage to meet up with them on a individual basis. which was better then nothing.

Life isn't always a bed of roses, you will get ups and down... last yr i hit a down and decided that this year i should make it an up. Things started to change and i had to change my profession also.

Went for IT classes to get my certs which i should do the exams soon. In terms of life, i also decided to start making changes, as i felt very soft after a yr of honeymoon.

So yeah... i am still coming up with my list... but for now i would like to aim for the bottom few which i also listed out on the side

1. Loose weight till 75kg (never done before so its going to be fun and tough)
2. Learn the guitar (finally started and would like to keep a constant practice with it)
3. Make a changing impact on myself (time to get serious and improve the old me is gd... but the new me will be even better, if that happens haha)
4. Clear my Microsoft exams
5. Get a job (seriously i cannot bum around at home all day)
6. Throw out stuffs that I don't really need out of my room (room is filling up with garbage time to throw stuffs out)

Thats all for now.. Will add on the list when I think of anything.

So yeah I will try to keep this blog active, although i doubt anyone reads it anyway but at least it keeps a record that I did exist =)

Till the next time

Back again

yo its been awhile since i posted something here... 2 yrs maybe?

had a wild yr last yr so didn't do much writing hahaha

Well will update more if i get the motivation and inspiration

Catch ya all

Looking back at year 2008

Well this yr is kind of a roller coaster ride. Manage to complete some stuffs and had lots of unfinish goals.

Firstly i am happy that i finally graduated and kiss my days of Studies good bye (for now... in my line still need to upgrade constantly). Got My PS3 (Oh yeah~~~) Manage to lose weight (Well gain back a bit currently... need to loose 3kgs for graduation)

Goals that i didn't reach is not getting a job (bad yr to find job... with no demand in WA and economy downturn in oct because of USA), didn't get a GF (Sadly still no gals interested in me.... maybe i not aggressive enough???), Getting a car (well decided to get a car at first... fuel price went rocket high, but now drop till $1 which is not bad, but money is to be put to better use), Not getting a PC (as usual thanks to economy downturn, exchange rate for US is high... aussie money drop too much) 

Lots more, well anyway its end of the yr so looking back, i had lots of fun, finally out of adeline's cell (Well technically she has graduated and move on to YA), first time in a combine cell with a new cell leader which is quite fun also. What worries me is because i am not christian, so i hate ppl keep asking me y and telling me to convert, blah blah blah. But all works out fine. 

This is the 3rd yr i am here.... a lot of my friends from the first yr is not around anymore most like 80% are gone... not much left... onli me and adeline still in a gang haha... well shin yin also. But supprisingly i know more ppl this year also. Fiona, CS, MJ, etc from our dardanup trip, Then Jeff, kimberly, thompson, francis, etc from cell grp. Well although the close friends from the first batch is not around... i manage to make new friends, i guess that is the cycle of life...

Work wise was ok.... didn't expect myself to be stuck in crazy clarks till end of the yr. but well it was fun... and some hic cups inbetween.

Anyway Its been a fun 2008... first time christmas and new yr here... missing my friends back in sg. Well Happy new yr to everyone!! Good bye 2008, u have always been a great year and i will remember you =)

ICE TEA!!!

Hee, recently i have been drink black Srilakan Tea which my parents bought when we were in Srilanka for holidays. So i am the type that likes to drink cold drinks and i couldn't wait for it to get cold since i dun have ice.

So wat i did was to freeze it in my freezer for a couple of hours... i had done it a few times... but this time i actually forgot about it. When i finally remember and take it out it's outer layer is already solidfied but the tea inside is still liquid.

So i took pictures of it to prove the theory of "ICE TEA" hahaha, anyway enjoy the rest of my little experiment =P

Scrap book for Adeline

Well this was sometime back i think 3 to 4 weeks ago. Well adeline for the pass 6mths was saying that she was into scrap booking. She would buy all the materials to make the book.... But the problem is she didn't had the mood and motivation to start it (actually i think she was just lazy lah hahaha sorry ade thats the truth).

So What happen was kimbery actually came up with a suggestion that each of us come out with a page and combine it to form a scrap book. This happen during the trip down to Dardanup as both of us were not around. When i came back then i found out about it, and i was the last 1 to do it (was thinking that kim was the last 1.... but after she told me that it was her suggestion then i figure out i was the last 1)

Anyway we gave it to her during the first friday service, she was all smiles on her face lol. Well yeah lets just enjoy her pictures with her smilling like a little kid who just found her favourite teddy bear or something =P

Good Bye Vishnu

Well the first housemate in my house who left perth for gd, Vishnu.... Housemate, Classmate and Gd friend. Well it was quite sudden and was still in shock (at that pt of time) that he is going off. We had lots of fun in the house and the pass 2yrs as classmates. Being Singaporean, you can understand each other better, making all those lame and crappy jokes. Makes me feel back home again.

well my good friend here has finally decided to move on to the next chapter of his life and shifted over to Canberra to start off his carrer. Well he is going there to work casually first, study the course he applied for and at the same time look for a job.

Well wish him all the best.... i am sure i will still see him some day, either i go over to eastern states or back in singapore.
