Cocoa Break

I’ve lived with a simple principle in life and that is, “To be honest at all cost”, for a very long time. Not a thing to hide. Not a thing to fear. However at times I feel that lying is the only way to avoid unnecessary feud. Some of those that have come into my life appreciate my clear-cut attitude but there are others that simply can’t grasp it.

Today, I thought that I had done the correct thing. Breaking barriers… nonetheless, it backfired and I almost felt like it was the worst day of my life. I feel good whenever I help people or whenever I achieve something big in life. However, as many have said before, “One will go through Hell, before he reaches Paradise.”

It would be different if I was born a prince. Then I wouldn’t have to work hard and still be known to the world. I would have all the time in the world to do everything else and not worry about anything till I turn into an adult. As a middle-class fellow, to achieve better living standards, it is only natural for me to forego my time in some areas just to accomplish my goals. Less leisure, less family time, less time with friends and less time for myself. Ultimately all this brings me closer to Hell on earth as everyone who wants to spend time with me starts complaining and throwing tantrums.

If only life was as simple as peeling off a banana…

I can’t believe that a little exercise gives me aches all over. Started with yesterday’s IPPT ( Individual Physical Proficiency Test ). It was compulsory. I doubt I could have passed without the “motivation and inspiration” by my friends and the testers.

The worst moment yesterday was when I fell forward on my first attempt at Standing Broad Jump and broke the fall with my right hand! I couldn’t even move after that. I was crawling myself up and I felt like my shoulder was stabbed with a fruit knife. And guess what? I attempted the jump again. Well, I cleared it somehow.

With all that pain, I had to run 2.4km within 12mins and 20 secs. I really thought it was impossible but hey, I finished all four rounds and somehow I passed!!! Wee hoo! I was happy even though I felt like pissing in my pants due to the tremendous pain on my right shoulder.

Well I felt happy about it overall. I am not required to go for a boot camp to get me in shape nor do I have to retake the test again. Glad. Relieved. But thats not all….

I woke up today with aches all over! I had trouble getting off my bed. That’s exactly what you will get if you’ve not worked out for months. Body acting up. Feel like an old man. The only way for me to feel better is to go for a swim. Well not really swim for a gold medal, but more like a physiotherapy. I can stay in the pool for hours I tell you.

Hope I wont be walking like a robot tomorrow morning…

Change the look of my blog. Lots of new functions on Antblogz.com now. With add friend feature and now there is profile picture option. Finally I got all the things to work. A few more services on Antblogz.com will make it complete as a Web 2.0 site. A Gallery would be nice. Not easy to write for php 4 when most of the open source plugins available for php 5.

Hope to get a gallery up and running like before next Xmas! ;D

Been a while since I posted anything. Well this entry is about what I saw on the 21st of December 2007. A crash right after I saw a speeding biker zoom pass me at the bus stop in front of Sunshine Place.

It was a chase. The traffic police was just behind the biker with his blinker on. I guess, the biker tried to beat the red light and bang! a crash and he fell flat. Wonder what’s with some bikers. They seem to enjoy the adrenalin of being chased by the law enforcers. Is being a rebel cool? Do girls really dig such guys? I rather earn big bucks and drive an Ferrari. I thought women prefer to be safe. You can check out the scene below. I took the picture at the back of 172 bus.

I guess that should be fatal since his bike seems to be half left. Rest in peace whoever that was.

The perfect ending to a wonderful year would not be complete without a Perfect Xmas. Not expecting Santa to break entry into my home, ransack my kitchen just to find out that there are no cookies and milk left for him before he decides whether or not I’ve been a good boy to receive an imitation gift made by his merry elves. Well, it would probably break his heart to find out that I am not a Christian in the first place. =x Do I still qualify for that gift if I had been a good boy all year round?

Well anyway, I’d be happy just to spend my day with my loved ones. As it is a public holiday right here in Singapore, I’d love to wake up early to smell the morning air and watch the Christmas TV programmes and have a wonderful lunch with my family. It has been a while since the whole family sat down to have a proper meal together at home.

Talking about food, I hope my mom cooks her special Chicken or Prawn ‘Briyani Dam’ along with her sweet ‘Tomato Acar’. I’ve been craving for that since last month but there had not been any special occasions for her to prepare such a dish for the family. And right after having a rare family meal, I am counting on a day out with The Girl Of My Life. ;D

Yeah, what is Xmas if it is not spent with someone you hope to be under the mistletoe with? Perhaps a romantic movie or a walk at the park before we set out to have dinner at a Fine Dining Restaurant, maybe on top of Westin Stamford?

Finally, being chauffeured home in a limousine, of course I will send her home and get the kiss of my life at her doorstep first before heading home. Now that is what I call a perfect Xmas. Well at least for myself. ;D
