GYMING IS BACK
I have been meeting leslie and justin almost everyday. We went rounding almost everyday. Mount faber, labourdor park, bedok jetty, devil's bend, seletar dam, farmway for pond fishing and all around Singapore hunting for good food. I enjoyed spending sometime with my friends but have been coming back home late recently, overslept and took a cab to school the following day.
We went gyming today. I have made up my mind to pump up my body again. This time round with supplement to help me buff up even more faster. I have been eating more and gyming more often. I tried to quit two of my worst habits, gambling and smoking. Gambling considered making improvements, no majiong and poker game for the past two weeks. But smoking, I failed.. It's so difficult to control my urge to smoke. Especially with most of my close friends being heavy smoker and when it comes to fishing or slacking, it's so hard to resist man. Guess I'm hooked up. I'm currently smoking 7 sticks a day, trying to reduce to 5 sticks a day.
Coming weeks got to be tedious with all the driving practical and btt test. Have to come up with a shedule to plan my gym training. So motivated to get back my body! And hopefully all the training can help me gradually cut down my smoking. Leslie and Justin will be training with me too. It really make u feel more refresh after all the gyming and it really feels good.
Friday we might be going to JB to celebrate justin's Birthday. I miss loklok. Gtg.. Movies time!

I went to CMPB for the health check for enlisting purposes. I'm in pes A...Looks like things are going to be tough in years to come. Luckily I still have a second check up after my polytechnic studies. After everything went home to change and headed to changi village with eben for fishing. We went to kelong walk which is around 20 minutes walk from changi ferry terminal. It feels so relaxing fishing and playing poker at the same time. Not until it started to rain we took shelter at cheers while we had some refreshments and we cabbed home later since the rain did not stop. I supposed we called quite a lot of people but ended up only Leroy turned up. The rest flew areoplane...Anyway I'm used to it, it is the characteristic of my clique of friends.
Recently I did a book keeping of my own spenting and I found out an astonishing truth. I actually spent $1048 for a month with no income flowing in. I'm quite stunned by the amount that i spent. For the past years i had not been keeping a record on how much i spent but I have been very curious to know. Details: 40% attributed to my bad habits which is ciggrettes and my gambling expenses, 15% on miscellaneous, 10% on tansportation and 35% on food. Looks like i have to do something to change the bad habits of mine. I never thought that I will spent so much money on gambling and I always thought I spent most of my money on food. I'm trying to managed my own finance and I will be very glad if I can really cut down my expenses.
I am going to check the 4d results now, shower and head to town to meet sam and friends for a good movie. NIGHTS

RESULTS OUT
Yesterday night i was quite disturbed by the releasing of results the following day. In order to prevent my imagination from running wild, i forced myself to sleep early. Morning arrived and i woke up shortly after 8am and I switched on my laptop and logged in to the ITE's website. I supposed i was quite scared to face reality if i didn't make it. Instead of worrying, i decided that i will just login and check my results. I was thinking I still have to go to work later and i might be distracted. Worries gets me nowhere isn't it? So i checked.... The first row was the most critical one as I did not do so well for my advance accounting. And i saw an A and the following rows was A too. I was so jubilant. I made it. By the way don't misunderstand I'm not trying to be proud. But the feeling is just so great and I was so close to losing my dreams. Two days before the results was being release, i felt so terrible. The past few week I had almost forgotton about my yet- to release results. I was so busy with activities and work.
Today everything seems to be so pleasant, like my mood. Work was as usual but I ended the day slightly different. Instead of heading home earlier, I met chris at pasir ris and we had a contending dinner and a few rounds of number balls before heading home. And it's already 1.13am.....Last two days of work, hope everything will run smoothly and will be looking forward for the coming saturday ubin dinner trip and night fishing at changi. Good night earthlings!

Today supposedly i should meet sam for his birthday celebration but i didn't go. I went to attend to some of my stuff. They went clubbing anyway, I don't really enjoy clubbing. By the way hope you will not be upset. Anyway happy birthday sam!
Had a long day, went working, some special mission with eben and caught a movie (Phobia 2). It had been so long, since i watched a movie which was my favourite past time hobby. I spent my holiday more fruitfully by helping out with eben's father business. Anyway his dad is running a landscape business. To simplify it is to maintain the landscape (flowers, grasses, plants, trees and etc) mainly in private estate or condomindium. Just got my pay today. GREAT!
These few weeks other than work, i set aside some time to play majiong with my few majiong kaki, steamboat gathering with my classmates, poker session with ashley and friends and also some freshwater fishing and an offshore trip. AWESOME! I feel good being able to maintain work and play. At least i don't feel like i'm a bum doing nothing other than the everyday's usual gambling.
Until now i'm still thinking of my results, how do i fare? Did i maintain a 4? I'm so worried man. If i drop my GPA, seriouslly i will be damn sad. Thinking back after all nothing is so secure, i got 4 for the last two semester but just because of a paper it might bring me to my downfall. My dreams of maintaining a GPA4, COM holder and might even lose the chance of getting into a good poly and the course that i want to enter. Results will be release either this coming week or the following week. FASTER! i just can't wait.....I need an answer badly.
i recently got very vexed over the course to take in poly. Should i take up civil engineering or accountancy? I had a talk with my dad, asking him for advice. He asked me to pick something that i prefer. He's like not answering the question. These are just some of my views: I wanted to take accountancy because i think there's prospect in term of Job scope and the pay. Most importantly it is relevant and a very important element in the "thing" that i plan to do in the future. To set up my own business. But i'm still not very sure what accountancy is like in poly, university and futher studies. I don't know if it will suit me and i don't want to have any regret. Engineering..I somehow got influence by my dad because of his occupation as an engineer and was he doing well at a point of time. And i believe that he will be able to guide me along and teach me the things that he know in the trade. But i'm neither a good art student nor good DnT student. I don't think i will excel in this trade as i don't have the fundamentals. But it's just my hope that to take over my dad's business and helped him to develop and expand.
I'm tired........Turning in at 5.45am...

Tingle of regrets
It had been so long since i last logged in to my friendster, MSN and facebook account. This few days were crazy. Study, studying and studied.... Just finished with my exams yestterday, a sigh of relieve but i'm still feeling stress and pessimistic of my results. I was quite confident of my first two papers but the last paper was a flop. This could be a mark of an end to my 4 pointer. i badly wanted to maintain it but i think i did real bad this time round due to my lack of practise. I have been concentrating too much on my first paper and playing too much nowadays. Past few days is like hell, sleeping as early as 8pm and waking up in the middle of the night to study. I have been sleeping for like 5-6hours a day for the past few days. And my biggest weakness is that i cannot perform well if i didn't have enough sleep, i must sleep for a least 8 to 10 hours day.
Well...the exams is already over i'm supposed to relax but the image of a drop in my GPA keep surfacing up in my head and i'm feeling very disturbed. I looked back with a tingle of regret for not starting earlier. Too many poker games for the past few weeks before examination. I'm getting brought away by thing easily and i have lost my discipline. I just couldn't let go even until now, i called Miss chew around late afternoon asking her how much i will drop in my GPA if i got a grade B for my AA. She asked me why i'm always so pessimistic. She told me that everything is gonna be fine and said there's nothing to be done. She is a very good teacher when i always asked for help or advice, she never fails to help me. Apperciated that. But honestly speaking most of the teachers in ITE are generally good and more sincere. I doubt that things will still be the same it polytechnic.
I have been thinking of ways to set up a buiness of my own. I have been stagnant for too long since I stopped taking team for the door to door sales. And wei pang imported some electronic products for car uses and i went with him to a neighbourhood carpark to test the market. Sadly the response was poor and we might be going to shopping malls carpark for a second test. I'm already 18years old and i wanted to own a car of my own badly. I haven't even got my license. Need to buck up....Thinking of what to do for this holiday, something that is meaningful. I doubted i will be in the mood to fully enjoy this holiday until i get to see my results. I just couldn,t let go. PRAY hard for me guys that i will be able to maintain my results.

What you reap is what you sow
I'm now grappling to improve on my english by watching more news and reading more books. Fabian also said that blogging will helps to improve. Hearing from him complaining how stressful polylife is made me a bit turned off. Previously, I thought polytechnic is not so stressful and i will be able to relax and to concentrate on my venture. My only worry is my language. I'm came from a neighbourhood school and chinese speaking family therefore I'm poor in my english. Often made the wrong pronunciation and my peers always had a good laugh. I'm just getting myself prepared for polylife. I want to pursue further studies in polytechnic majoring in tourism and hospitality. Sometime I am just wondering if i should put my studies aside and take a year of my time to venture into businesses and to gain my experiences upon completion of my ITE education. It has been a dilemma for me.
I aspire to become a business man setting up my own business and to earn my first pot of gold. I would want to use the first bucket of gold to make investments in shares and forex. Recently I have actually developed a interest in investments as I believe that there is prospect in it. I somehow got my motivations from my teachers who have done pretty well in these line. Is not just about getting profit from it but is about enjoying the process. Since i can only start trading by the age of 21 and the only shares that I can buy now is the IPO(intitial public offerings), i have decided to start gaining more knowledge about these markets. I have started watching news more often trying to make it a habit of everyday life and analysing some financial reports. I'm very glad to be able to apply the things that i have learnt in school in real life scenario. Knowledge is nothing when you don,t apply it sounds true.
Today is kind of awkward to type in paragraphing style and using some vocabulary that I have recently learnt. But I'm trying on every aspect that I could to improve on myself. Things like struggling to wake up early, attending classes on time. Making changes is difficult and especially the bad habits but I guess every major move start from a small step. I guess i have made my first step today.
Meeting my guys at LFI, having grouping. Looks like is another late night out.
