Nice Ride Hot day, Tiring legs.


Today's ride was cool. Saw Vicky's new frame. Argh, tempt me to change my bike frame. Harhar, but i better keep my eyes off fancy bikes, keep my eyes on the roads instead. I guess I won't pour in a lot of money for a new frame now. Sounds illogical. Perhaps when I come back from NOC.

Hmm, havent been going out often, not much life this semester since Iris is away. Then leonard also not around. and therefore lack of kakis to chiong, drink and ooze. Never mind. Exams time anyway, better focus my efforts on that. Have been slacking a bit at home these days. not too good. Gotta get my ass moving else I will see my 2nd upper flying away. Not too cool when u see all your efforts go down the drain. Tmr is design presentation and suppose to have a dinner after that. That's rather cool, since I havent been enjoying much company out often. Perhaps still possible to go out for a drink or something.

All right back to work. Constant blogging is a good practice, I hope I can keep it up.

Keep up with the men

All right, this period of time is a cycling training window.

Rides with the Rodalink men has been awesome, After weeks of dropping out, finally I managed to keep up with the old men. Harhar, I wonder why all the guys cycling have huge ego. Doesnt really seem to be the case of tri guys. Oh well, but they are still a great bunch of people to ride down from West Coast all the way to Tuas and back. 35 km in under 55 mins. That's an average of 38 km/h including stopping. Tired, but worth it.

I realised why I love cycling. Cuz I have no car to go fast. And humans love to go fast. Riding down on a bike at 50 km/h is awesome. Almost as fast as a rollar coaster but no seat belts and you risk dying at that speed. Harhar, but I would just go back for more.

Speed is addictive, probably more so than drugs.

Will cycle the next 2 months with them as well, i think I will miss the rides in Singapore with the people here when I leave. Harhar, and the food. But no need think so much yet.

Handle exams first.

Then going zouk for a great night out after all the hard work. Small outing to reward myself a little.

Not bloggin enough?

Ok, People is complaining that I havent blog enough. True is I am a lazy blogger. Oh well, I guess I should just do it since I have decided to start it.

Havent been training much, only cycling on Tues and Sundays, wonder why people think that I always go and train and all that. Guys! Annoucements, I am not a siao kia who has no life but triathlons. I am a pig who like to sleep and rot at home too.

Anyway these weeks are getting a little draining, project work are almost done I would say. The only thing that's bogging me down is the NOC interviews. Had quite a no. of chats less interviews with people. Hmm, think I have been thinking too much over what others say. It always seem like, huh, you mean you can only offer these? Hmm, perhaps it is regrettable that they expect too much from a 23 year old who spend most of his time in school and holidays working.

I guess it all boils down to starting early. Don;t be like me, start early. I think i have started way too late, after NS, to consientiously better myself. My advice, people still look at the paper before they look at your face. Credentials and past experience on paper might not directly reflect how you are as a person, but it definitely is a ticket to your destination (or perhaps a ticket home).

Good luck to myself. I am not in a hurry to get place. Just want a gd placement at the end of the day. Looking forward to cycling down mandai at 60km/h tomorrow.

Flu, Cough, Sore Throat., Destiny, Fate

Pui, fall sick at this time. Not a critical moment but i just hate to fall sick and all thanks to my brother who pass it to me. Should be because we all share one bedroom and everything juz spreads. Haiz, feeling breathless while cycling this morning, oh well, tough especially trying to keep up with vicky, sianz when u are dropping behind because I am not up to it plus not feeling well. Shit feeling. Hope it will be over soon though. Must Ganbattene.

oh well, these days getting bored, hmmm, dunno why also, perhaps something is missing in my life?? I also not too sure, but also like getting a little sick and tired of going out all the time, harhar lazy. Oh well, whatever it is, prolly bogged down by work, illness and tough times thru the semester. Good news is i finishing up with 1 of my tuition kid, which would mean that I would have more time doing my own stuff. I think I am quite sick of giving tuition, 3-4 years is enough liao. sianz and tired, hope i have some other way of making some money for myself to spend. Jialat, I think i now got a bad habit of spending excessively, perhaps too used to it. Not used to a frugal life anymore, I better buck up and get myself accustomed soon.

Haiz, long for a good long break. Quite tired from years of work and work non stop without much rest. Juz wanted to like break off from my position and go somewhere alone for a while. Idealistic, but i think it is time i have a break after my ACCA. oh well, big price and sacrifices for big dreams. The bigger ur dreams, the more u need to sacrifice to keep it alive and burning. Else, once the fuel runs out, dreams will juz dissolve in the air.

Perhaps it is because I placed very very high expectations of myself. I wonder I can pick myself up should I fail totally. Well, I think I would, but perhaps, will take a great deal out of me to do that. There's always hope when there's life. I believe in that. Always believe that there's a always a chance to fight back, never bow down to fate or destiny. Cuz if you believe that life's all about fate and destiny, you will be a slave to them, I rather want to option to control my own fate or destiny. Makes more sense to me.

Hmm, ok eating dinner liao. almost 11. hungry manz. Feeling down perhaps, that's why didn't have appetite juz now.

Alan signing off............

NOC Part 2

Ok, Monday is deadline for my resume to be posted up online. The comapnies will basically look at it and pick out those they think are zai and confirm an internship placement. It will be so called our face posted online. Better go and pray to my ancestors for some blessings harhar, but well i think count it to my gods that I got it through so far. I think some luck is critical from now onwards. Hopefully a prospective company will pick me up and select me. but i think most importantly, i must be suitable and i can learn something at the end of the year. Hmm, dun want to go there and waste my time being a kopi-kia. So all down to luck liao. Lucky I went to the resume workshop, har, at least i saw my resume from another perspective and made some changes to it. Hopefully it will turn out well. Else, my dreams about going there will be down the drain.

Ok Part 3 will come after a internship company selected me, everyone else, harhar, need all the blessings and help you all can give!! THanks.
