let's do a huge update.

hi guys. i haven been posting much for the past month for the following reasons.
  • been sick, had fever 3 weeks ago, took me almost 1 week to fully recover.
  • coughing like mad, makes it hard to type, but i'm fine now.
  • NDP trainings make me sleepy when i reach home.
  • i'm abit moodless. stress. hah
yey. my thoughts now.

NDP 09

it took around 4 mths to train for this event. my thoughts, feelings and motivation varies throughout all these time. it was exciting at the start, and really tough, my slim arm couldn't take the weight of the flag, big time. standing under the sun for long hours wasn't what i foresee, felt like fainting, thirsty always, just so tiring. i end up with stiff neck, shoulder and painful biceps after each and every training.

3 training a week was alright until saf day kicks in, mon, wed, fri, and sat training every single week. i was starting to miss my own CG and SVR. horrible time, the worst actually. i started to be less motivated. just float around with the crowd. started some own training, lifting weights back in bunk. still nt v serious though. SAF day marks the start of really slack training.
1mth left to NDP, 2 trainings per week, still my weekend got burnt, i often ask myself why i got myself into this. hoho. my weekday off that covered the weekend burn wasn't that satisfying after all. kinda endured. did more strength training at home now, i actually used the dumbell and held it in saluting position. conditioning so that i won't gabra on the actual day.

3 weeks left. did a few shows for the kids already, not much response from the crowd. a lil less motivated once again. just happy to see ppl around thats all. by the time we did preview, the trainers felt we were ready for NDP 09. good job. times flies though, kept looking around for photos online. hah
NDP09! everyone around me were much more excited then myself. lol. i felt normal, many who saw me ask me to jiayou blah blah. i was like.. err. ok. chill.. haha. wore my contacts for the first time for the afternoon run, 1 side dropped out, i took out the other, can't see nothing anymore. Z!
My face rocks. hah
my NDP experience? went on with the parade, in full view of all the cabinet ministers and the president, but I CAN'T SEE FOR NUTS! lol. what chance, and what a great miss. doesn't matter. its over! the 3.2km march was great, lined up with crowds, relatively quiet ppl though, the usual random shouts kept us going. haha.

in the end, I'm just happy to do a job well done. it was fun marching and meeting ppl from various units. we make it happen eh? cheers!

FOP 09

had a great time at FOP this year, i felt much less sleepy during the praise and worship. haha. was seated at the floor area once again! woohoo. i love the message that Pst Mark Connor shared, i wish i had time for more sessions. just 1 pic to share

i think we need to cultivate the habit of taking more photos.
