1st of November
I woke up with my arms and chest aching because I completed an intense gym session with my army friends the previous day. We ended everything with a good meal at the nearby coffee shop, I had a plate of Roasted Chicken Breast rice with a cold drink before we all headed for home. Energy levels hit sub zero and I totally had no energy to do anything else so I opened my minecraft server for my friends to play on it while I went to take a short nap. Mum bought chicken chop for me while my brother got me a bowl of laksa, eat until super super full :D
So today I followed my parents to SAFRA since my dad had to do some sports admin stuffs there, while waiting I got myself a subway sandwich since I was super super hungry and I didn't want to wait all the way till my dad finished his work. Headed back home just in time for lunch, mum cooked for me my favourite home cooked food as I was watching some CS:GO funny videos before I went to do some math that I cracked my head over :\
So... 7 months left and I have to achieve my ultimate goal, which is to get gold for my IPPT. Still trying to focus on each station my working out bit my bit every single day. I have tried the daily 200 push up regime, unfortunately on some days I am unable to do because I'm on overnight shift. Therefore I compensate it by either doing more the day before or after I dismount from camp. My highest record so far is 355 push ups in 35 minutes, and I still remember I immediately fell asleep after I bathed :D.
My long weekend is finally over and I've got to go back to camp tomorrow morning for another 24 hours shift :\ This week ended pretty good after going through rough times mid week, and I'm looking forward to the new week ahead :)

28th of October
The arms commander was also late so I got taken over 20 minutes later than usual, while the rest had already returned to the bunks to rest. I was already a little pissed but I just decided to go and get a shower before sleeping.
A headache later developed so I couldn't sleep properly, waking up almost every 5-10 minutes (yes). The weather was also terribly humid so I was sweating non stop while trying to keep myself warm from the fan that was constantly blowing on my lower body.
Endured until the end of the mount, and finally dismounted from camp. Drizzling slightly so I had to choing all the way to the bus stop opposite the base. Withdrew some cash but had to withdraw a higher amount because the machine wouldn't let me freaking withdraw the lowest amount avaliable :\ Slept all the way till late afternoon, did some math while playing some old school Runescape and not forgetting the music that somehow kept me pretty concentrated while doing math :)
I actually had the energy to do a quick 1.6km run under 7 minutes, and had to struggle my way to do 160 pushups in 14 minutes which was slower than usual. I guess it's the lack of rest :\ By the way, I'm very glad that I sort of made a new friend although I met her previously at a friend's 21st around 2 months ago. I have been tweeting her a little and I do hope that we can be friends soon :)
Alright I've got another 24 hours mount to do tomorrow, gotta sleep now :)

I do need a break from all the overnight shifts that I have been constantly been doing in camp. One overnight shift every 2 days, with an extremely irregular sleep break. But at least food is provided so I get to save some money for my future expenses, and not forgetting good food muhahahaha. Long weekend is coming up and I might actually go back to the bar and maybe get a small drink again? :)
I have been thinking a lot about this lady recently. We both have some similarities, like our taste in music and also sadly, a medical condition. She's a very nice person and I feel that I can be good friends with her hopefully :)
Time to sleep, another overnight shift tomorrow. I might buy myself a good McDonalds breakfast after the whole thing ends.
Justin.

"Finding balance and enlightenment within yourself/.
7 energies to unlock, 7 purposes, but blocked by 7 different emotional marks.
- Earth energy, located at the base of the spine. Deals with SURVIVAL, but blocked by FEAR. What am I most afraid of? Let them be clear to you, surrender the fears and let them flow away.
- Water energy, located at the sacrum. Deals with PLEASURE, but blocked by GUILT. What are all the guilt that burdens your soul? What do you blame yourself for? Accept the reality that these things happen, but do not let them cloud or poison your energy and soul. To be a positive influence in the world, you have to forgive yourself.
- Fire energy, located at the stomach. Deals with WILLPOWER, but blocked by SHAME. What are you ashamed of? What are your biggest disappointments in yourself? Remember, you will never find balance if you deny this part of your life.
- Air energy, located in the heart. Deals with LOVE, but blocked by GRIEF. Let all of your grief out in front of you. Love is an energy, and it swerves all around us. Your family and friends love for you is not lost, but it is deep inside your heart and reborn-ed as another form of love. Let the pain, flow away...
- Sound energy, located in the throat. Deals with TRUTH, but blocked by LIES. What are the lies that we tell ourselves? You have to first accept that destiny that you want, not the destiny that someone else is trying to force upon you.
- Light energy, located in the centre of the forehead. Deals with INSIGHT, but blocked by ILLUSION. One of the greatest illusions in this world, is the illusion of separation. Some things you think are separate and different, are actually one and the same. Like people, but we all live as if divided.
- Thought energy, located at the crown of the head. Deals with COSMIC energy, but blocked by EARTHLY ATTACHMENTS. You have to let all of those attachments GO. Let them flow down the river forgotten. Think of the lovely attachments that you have, and let them go."
That part about letting go of earthly attachments, the people I love, the people I care about, and most importantly the love of my life. In order to understand more about myself, I have to give up many things, including her? I was in disbelief. I'm not sure whether I wanted to understand myself more, or to continue things the way they are. The image of her flowing away from my life, just terrifies me. What will happen if I made her flow away? Will I be as empty as before? Or am I just going to find someone else and fill up that spot so that that emptiness feeling won't come back? But if I do that I'm just finding excuses for myself, and being extremely selfish.
Right now I guess I will just focus on the first 6.

Fast forward to the party, my army friends messed with my computer and changed the wallpaper to my eye candy (meh). Loads of laughter with the helium and our stomachs were full with the dinner and drinks. I gave a speech with the words that came right from my heart in front of everyone, I guess it was the first so I knew I was pretty nervous but since my mum told me to cut it short so I summed it up as much as possible.
Sang the birthday song and then I had a private chat with Namra as she was the one that helped me the most. be it the planning or the carrying of some of the decos. I gave a 2 tight hugs as a form of my gratitude to her, she also even gave me a pair of skinny jeans from ZARA which definitely cost her quite a bit of money. My army friends gave me a wallet from Braun Buffel, but what everyone gave me was their valuable time that they have set aside for me. Lastly was the wish book, everyone wrote some messages for me, I read every single one of them and I could say that I was so touched as I never knew what exactly my friends thought about me and they wrote very nice things about me.
Went out for supper with one of my bros, had Mexican cheese fries while my bro had Grilled chicken chop and a cup of iced milo. We walked down Holland Village while chatting about our recent life occurrences, headed for home after that. My parents cleaned up the place and changed my bed sheets too, I was so touched by their efforts and I could hear them sleeping so soundly.
Really thankful for my family as they helped me in every single part of the journey in my life, be it primary school, secondary school, poly or even army. They never gave up on me even though I gave them trouble after trouble, time and time again.
Time to sleep soon. but I guess I will have difficulty sleeping. Not in a bad way though, I'm smiling like a happy 5 year old kid whilst typing this blog post. Hopefully I do fall asleep soon! :)

I have been a terrible person these few months, venting my anger and frustration onto my peers and my best friends around me. I have even hurt my family without knowing it.
So what happened to me these few months? I have been jealous, my ego has taken over me, my rage controlled my actions and emotions, I have been a crazy desperate person. Most importantly, I have been terribly intimidated by the people around me, be it whether it is by my friends or family.
To the love of my life, I have never forgotten you one single bit ever since day 1, yes I may have eye candies every now and then, but the person that never left my heart was you. I will probably never have the courage to talk to you ever again, let alone ask you out once more. I'm happy for you for what you have become, reborn with Christ. Congratulations on your baptism and may you have the strength and love to make a positive impact on other people's lives. Never stop showing the world your beautiful smile and I do hope you will find someone that is truly capable of making you smile, forever.
To all of the people that I have made them frown upon me, or shake their heads when they think about a person like me, I'm truly sorry for my terrible attitude and actions once again, I know it is not the first time this has happened, I will definitely work on it and I will emerge as a better person in the future. I know I will not be able to apologize right in front of your faces, but I feel this is the first step into an apology.

Am I a person that is too boring? Am I a person that is easily taken for granted and bullied? Am I a person that people think they can ignore?
Fuck all this shit, if people decide to treat me like this, then I guess it's time to cut those people off and scratch them off the list, one at a time, since they feel that I'm not needed in their lives then I won't need those people in my lives too.
At least my friends in the army understand how I feel, they even cheer me up and get me drinks. Really grateful for for them by my side, the juniors are really nice and cooperative. I also admire the fact that they respect a person like me, judging from the fact that I'm a terrible person and they still get along and respect me, I really can't be more thankful for them.

11th of July - Pride
Just an hour ago I saw their pictures - pictures posing with their swords that signifies the authority bestowed upon to lead, influence, change and bless the lives of the soldiers under charge. They looked really smart in their pictures, especially my buddy that made me change for the better as a person.

First thing is the inner battle in your heart and mind. The battle with my mind started because of the inner temptations that my mind and body craves, resulting tons of guilt being felt again and again. Food is one of the sinful temptations, been having tons of 'tze char' or '煮炒‘ every other day in camp, or we will end up eating fast food like KFC and McDonald's if we didn't had 'tze char'. The result? The obvious drop in stamina and the tightening on my tight fit army uniform, and it got way more difficult to put on.
Oh well, had a terrible migraine for 13 days straight, gastric problems for 4 days and my aching right joint near my hip ever since the migraine started :\ That gave me even more problems because with the aching joint I wasn't able to go and run as often as I planned to go, every step that I took when I moved forward just hurt so much that my mind is just telling me not to carry on after a certain distance. Migraine and gastric went away, but my leg still hurts. Doctor said it might be a posture problem and also the problem with me sitting down too often (sigh, I'm sitting down as a I work in camp, so in the end the amount of times that I sit compared to standing will still be more no matter what :\).
Next, love hurts. I still think of her after 2 long years, she's moved on while I'm still trying to. Every time I see a lady of my age, the first thing that comes into my mind is her, I will subconsciously ask her questions that I want to her to know in my head, questions like how is she doing, whether she's coping well with university and such. When I pay a visit back to her Facebook profile, and I see that she's smiling angelically as always in her photographs, then all my questions to her have been answered. Even though I know she's not smiling at me or for me, one thing's for sure, she's indeed happy with her life and that I should feel happy for her too. Whether I will see her in the future, that's one very difficult question to answer, but I will always be supporting her from the darkness and shadows.
They say that love can make you do extraordinary things, but love has made me blind and I know that because I sometimes feel like I'm pushing people away from me because I'm feeling moody and thinking of her, I don't know luh.
At least I've got a week to rest, and I have to settle the problem with my leg once and for all. I had to postpone the recent IPPT because I couldn't run properly, and next I want to go to the restaurant at the botanic gardens with my friends because they serve very good food there:)
Till then, continuing life with my injured right leg :\

21st of April
Have been absolutely busy in camp, with the non stop mounting and dismounting, time some how seemed to pass really quickly from every mount and dismount. Here I am, just chilling on my bed in the bunk, I shall share about what I did for the past 2 weeks.
Exactly half of it was spent in camp doing overnight duties, so let's not talk about that. I went to watch Fast and Furious 7 with Nams, met her at around roughly after lunchtime, then we wanted to have pizza so we headed to Pizza hut to get 3 personal pan pizzas. While waiting for the pizzas to be ready, we went around getting some items that Nam needed for her birthday. Went to Popular to gather the items, got some strong tape, 2 pairs of scissors, some more tape and a small stack of construction papers. But in the end, we just put every thing back since she said it wasn't that urgent to get the stuffs.
Walked around again and saw this stall that sold many kinds of deserts and treats, so Nam got herself a Choco cupcake, while I got myself and éclair. Got the pizzas and headed for the cinema. The movie was extremely badass, especially the Rock at the final part of the movie, the feels were real too but I shall leave that for the movie to explain for itself. Since Nam had to leave for another place, I accompanied her to the station chatted with her for a bit, gave her a tight and loving hug before we parted ways.
Went to watch another movie with Sabby. Wanted to watch the con artists but since the tickets were sold out so we went to watch the movie 'Home', this cartoon like movie that has Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez
voicing in that movie. The movie has this cute orange cat that I couldn't stop telling Sabby that it was so cute and lovely. I would say the movie had a few learning points that links to reality, but like again, I will leave it for the movie to explain for itself.
My section mate Bryan introduced to me this Maple story private server, which I think it totally rocks because its extremely stable, meaning there are very little disconnection occurrences. Furthermore the rates are pretty much similar to the actual servers so I tried it out and I can't stop playing it right now
*will continue the rest of this post because I need some rest from my dismount!*
