The Last Sunset

Casting "Arise" on Blog

Wah... long time never update blog le... Think its about time I do so. This blog has been dead for more than 4 months... and now it shall be revived!!!

Army has been rather interesting so far... exposing me to many different events, people and ideas - some of which are truely unique and enriching. Time really flies... From 12 March 2009 till today, it seemed like I've only served a few months. Well, everything that begins has its end. In about 7 months time, I would be promoted to the rank of "Mr". Much as I want my ORD to quickly arrive, I still have to treasure the remaining time left in the Army (especially the friendship forged within the platoon).

Currently, I am helping out in the inaugural Youth Olympic Games. There are pros and cons of helping out in the YOG. For one thing, being involved in YOG gives me an opportunity to escape from the rigour of trianings. It gives me a highly probable once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be involved in an international sports event. So far, Singapore has won quite a few medals. What's more joyful is that Singapore has attained 2 bronze medals in Taekwondo! Kudos to Daryl Tan and Nurul Shafinas Zakaria! Of course, not to mention all those who have represented Singapore for the YOG. It doesn't matter if medals are won or not. As long as they have showed sportsmanship and the never-give-up attitude, everyone's a winner!

Now to other issues. It really feels great to be able to go back for Taekwondo training after 3 weeks of absence due to YOG. It finally gave me an opportunity to really work out. Although I injured my right big toe due to an improper landing from a Crescent Kick, I felt like I've re-ignited my passion to train hard for future competitions.

And you know what? I've finally quitted WoW (World of Warcraft)!!! Woohoo!!! I finally thought it through that I should not be spending much time on it, since it makes me forgo other important stuff like going out with friends or studying for University. After weighing the pros and cons of quitting the game, I have finally mustered the "courage" to delete all WoW game contents from my computer!

Last but not least, I really feel that I should start to exercise more often. Now that I've returned from the pseudo world, I should have more time to work out. Firstly, I have to focus on losing weight, by about 10kg! It may seem hard, but it's certainly possible. I've been told time and again from my friends that I should be regulating my food intake. I think I should start heeding their advice. After all, the stake is rather high - its a healthy life.

Hopefully I will be able to update my blog weekly. That way, I will be able to keep track of how I've been doing and most importantly, gives me a platform to reflect and look back to the past. :)
