My handphone has died. It contracted this bug known as BROD (Blue Ring Of Death). Sounds ominous, and in reality, its effect is indeed as devastating as it sounds. Everytime I press the keys of the phone, the screen turns black, recovering only after 30 seconds. And when I retry my attempt in typing an sms, the black ghost returns to the fore. Dammit.

Bought my first pair of boxing hand wraps several days ago, and got scammed big time. Purchased it at some pungent muay thai shop, and probably because we ain't their students, the boss over there charged us an obscene 20 bucks for it. Maybe there is some hidden controversial animosity between the 2 schools.

Boxing the punching bags has left my fingers in horrible condition. My fingers can't move, and my wrists are pretty stiff. Especially my pinkies of both hands. I am actually typing with 2 index fingers only.


Why do I want to engage in pugilism? It gives me a chance to achieve something that I have always desired, and that is to be good at a sport. Boxing also gives me an opportunity to pick up some basic defensive skills which can be utilised against bastards. Most of all, it is a sport where I can release all my inner agony, anger and frustration and vent them on the bags, visualising them as people who have said No to me, people who have despised me, and people who have written me off. Beware.


Ok, Im actually a very kind hearted person. I want to use my skills to help fight burglars and thieves.


Orientation camp will commence really soon. Not really looking forward to school anymore, because my personal leisure time will be reduced to zero. I treasure my sleep. Tomorrow I have medical checkup at NUS, and it costs a minimum of $30. What a waste of hard-earned money.


Till next time, cheers and tata.

Today is a monumental day. I purchased my first ever laptop, at my first ever attendance of the PC fair. It's a HP, dv4. I had 2 options, ASUS vs HP, both specifications pretty similar. In the end, I chose HP because it looks slicker, chio-er, classier, despite the lack of free gifts. It's cheaper too, and its specs have a slight edge over that of ASUS.

Had 2 tuitions today, and today is also payday. I love to deposit money. The event of the day was that I got scratched by a bloody cat, at the house of my tutee. I swear, if it was not the kid's cat, I would have taught it a nice lesson on keeping its nails to itself. Shall not describe anything brutal.

Tomorrow is boxing day, slack training session as compared to thursdays. Nothing can satisfactorily describe my enthusiasm and passion for the sport. The feeling would be more truimphant if I'm actually good at it. Unfortunately, I'm not (yet).

So C. Ronaldo has left Man Utd. I have never been an avid fan of his, and now that he has left, he is officially one of my detested soccer players around. I'm too lazy to display the whole list of his nonsense and inefficiencies, and overgrown ego. C Ronaldo can suck it.

Watched Land of the Lost. It was quite an absurd movie, redefining the term "no plot/storyline". Just a few pretty laughable moments.


The new King of Fighters is out, and I'm glad it has reverted back to 2D graphics. 3D is too tekken style and too gayass.


Peace.

I'm so glad that I have something to look forward to each week.


On the path to reaching my best physical condition ever. 2 more months for me to enjoy my life fully. After that, the burden of school work will begin to annihilate me.



I have set out a nice organised schedule for the whole week, every week up until August. Having a steady income, as well as having a source of enjoyment, an outlet to relieve stress.



Cheers. Good luck to everyone pursuing their goals.

I think that you are a cynical self-absorbed egocentric twat who perceives yourself as the norm. ftw.

Attended my first boxing lesson yesterday evening. My heart sank when they told me that every training lesson involves a run. Feels like army. But of course the mood is so much lighter and enjoyable. Had to do skipping routine, but I sucked at it. The boss (head coach) assembled the newbies together, and taught us the basic movements. Nothing much. Apparently, the tough trainings are on Tues and Thurs, and I will be going for this Thursday's session. Can't wait to box the sh1t out of something or someone. Looking forward to their xiong circuit training.

The aftermath of the training was only felt the day after. My body started to ache, and I believe it was mainly because of the run. I think it has been 6 weeks since I last ran, maybe longer. Who the hell thought of the idea of making running as a sport. It's freaking torture, depriving your body of precious oxygen.

Looks like my future is set. I'm ready to go right now (John Legend). Appealing for a lost cause though.

The weather nowadays is really turning it on, torturing people with a vengeance. Air-con is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.

From tomorrow onwards, I have some activity to keep me busy everyday. Predominantly, it is my tuition lessons. The rates are good, the work is laid-back, the schedule is flexible. I love it. No time to chill around the entire day.

Several days ago, my dad's friend helped me to rent a car. Turned out, he rented for me a damned MANUAL car. Holy cow. I thought I would not have to drive a manual car for the rest of my life after passing my driving test. Apparently not. Had a few close shaves, because I was too lazy to down gear. That's the bad part of driving manual. People get lazy to down gear, thus maintaining at outrageously high speeds, and hence increasing higher possibility of accidents. AUTO is the way to go.

Alright, so anyone wanna learn boxing? Peace out.
