1st and 2nd of July is the annual Singapore Dragonboat Festival coincidentally it is also the opening date of the flight attendants walk-in interview conducted by Singapore Airlines.
Yup, I went for it , just want to fulfil my wish to push that trolley and bitch about those passengers on flight. Haha, but I screwed it up..

I went for the interview on the 1st July,dragging my extra huge and ugly looking backpack filled with my competition jersey and stuff, got to rush bedok resirvoir straight away after the interview. I went to the interview with a girlfriend of mine, and she commented that the shirt which I was wearing looks more like a candy wrapper more like a shirt, Gee...-_-'''..
Nevertheless, I was placed the first batch of ten guys to go in for an open interview, which consist of two interviewers and ten of us, I never feel so embarass before in my whole life..
Althought the interviewers say things to make us more relax and treat it like a casual talk, but NO!, Hello!, u're making it worst. By the time , it was my turn to talk, I screwed it up, i was feeling damn bloody f***ing tense!, I was literally going to stutter in my speech. The question that was posted to us was, " in less than a minute, tell me something unique about yourself"
So some guys were talking about their educational background, customer service experience..
and this guy was talking his many failed attempts of coming to this interview, 9 times and this was his 10th attempts, Gee, and he poesses a DBL major in engineering and accountings! GOSH!
I feel like asking him, do u have a life or something? 9 times...Gee..and he got in the next round.
For mine, I SCREWED UP...

This year's race was suppose to be in June, in conjunction with the dumpling festival, but apparently it was postphone till the 1st and 2nd july. Both saturday and sunday of the competiton was pretty tense and compared to the last year, this year was well-organised. The highlights of the whole race was pretty obviously the men's and ladies' open and also the Prime Minister Cup 1km race between the 4 local universities in Singapore. And after many years of dominating the cup by the NUS team, this year's NTU finally gotten it.. Kudos! Impressive last charge!
My team did pretty well for this race, compared to the past year races, we came in 2nd in interclub, which we lost to the 1st position by split seconds, and 3rd for mixed team, 4th for men's open. The 1st to the 3rd position of the men's open goes to the canoeing teams which is pretty absurd, they don't belong there, they belong in the canoe...darn!

Yawn, I'm so drained..

Woke up this morning,looking at the weather, I was expecting a downpour to happen, looking at my mobile phone,the alarm haven't went off yet and I woke up half an hour earlier than expected,so decided to just rot for a while before going to get ready for my DB training.....
Darn!, ended up falling asleep and miss my training for today..Oops..

Yesterday's training was pretty alright, did sparing with the other teams at Kallang basin, to try out the technique and also the race preparation that we have been doing for the past couple of weeks.The out come, pretty okie, we did beat the other school teams and some clubs, in some sets. Nevertheless, it was a pretty good fight fought amongst them.

I was reading today's paper and came across a whole page article of Singaporean being courteous. I got to really agreed to the fact that Singaporean are indeed taking things and people for granted. Simple gestures such as holding the door for the next person behind you, saying thank you..etc etc. Sometimes I wonder where did the Hao Gong Ming that we had in primary school and also the Civic Moral Education in secondary school, where did it actually all goes to, all in all, we had like moral education for 10 years (6 years in primary school, 4 years in secondary school), Gee! what's with it!

Sigh, the SIA flight attendant interview clashes with my DB race next week, sigh...

I look so Toot!~

Woke up this morning, seems pretty alright. No signs of soreness and aching on my back and knee tho...:)

Wanted to hit the gym initially, thinking that I could just squeeze in one more session for this week before heading to town for window shopping or just head straight to Citylink's HMV to see what's upcoming in the music scene, or just basically ogle at fellow oh-so-gorgeous homosapiens around me..heh..:P, but I got to think twice about it, as I got DB rowing the very next day, (Sat Afternoon, which is today), and since I'm feeling kinda f*** up and having kinda a bad week, so I ended up went running from my place all the way to North Bridge Road, stopping by my friend's shop for a chat...

Running and swimming, two of my favourite sports to unwind or just to take a breather whenever I am stress up or having a bad week. The constant focus on finishing it, trains my determination and also helps to clear my mind and do some self-reflection on myself. Anyone keen, can ask me out for run or swim one of this days..:)

Rai ( super close galfren of mine), send me the pictures that we took at one of our mutal friend's wedding, Gee..Didn't know that I beginning to look like some old fart, desperately in need of anti-aging cream. It's true, I really look so much matured,(denial), than any one around my age.. Skin ER ? Erm, Help...

Snapshots !

12 more hours to ..delayed onset muscle soreness..

"Thirty seconds more.....and...UP!, Change set.... .." Gee,just can't get that phrase out of my mind...yawn, Chi Kin's voice that is....

Dragonboating, my first time seeing the Ngee Ann Dbters rowing aimlessly at the poolside of the swimming pool, somehow makes me wonder and ponder, what's so fun about doing that repetive actions over and over again,mindless sports!..... that's why I chose the CCA that somehow raise quite alot of controversies in terms of my sexualilty, that is...Cheerleading..:P..yup.. I guess it's that show by Kirsten Dunst, "Bring It On" that pass the craze to me. Throwing tossing gals high up, doing all the pyramids and all...ahh those were the days..

And now, the sport that I once conclude as" mindless, stupid,robotic, blah blah..", is now like my number one sport for now.I guess the reason why I join the sport, you know, it's the male ego thingy and also partly that I wanted to have that kinda lean mean bod that , those Dbters have, a very himbo kinda thinking..Heh, I know. All the weights, circuit trainings, running, sprinting..keke,did improve of my bod, at least I don't look like a tub of lard overflowing when I wore trunks and shorts...something pleasing to the eye when walk along siloso beach ..."P

One more week to DB race....siong siong siong..

back to blogging...

Hmm, it been say at least a year since I last blog, if I could remember it's on livejournal..but that was the past..now , I'm back..
...guess I still do need a space to scream out loud...

Life have been pretty much routine for the past two years, National Service..yup, every Singaporean male dreads that, serving the thank-god-it's-only-two-years-now NS liability.
Althought the two years two mths ( didn't pass my Physical test, so went in early for training), seems like neverending at first, but time passes, right now, I'm clearing my leave. Nope,don't be mistaken that I am enjoying, but more like to start to think about what's the next stage of life going to be...

resumes, interviews, making phone calls to company...getting on quite stressful at some point of time, but that's life I guess.Going thru the whole process, getting a job, get a partner...blah blah. just got to know how to enjoy the whole process...

Brace up....
