My results are good for a change. The papers were easy, but I did not think I'd be getting an average of above 90. So kids, this proves that hard work and efforts do pay off! Er, most of the time.I got the dreaded medical check-up letter from MINDEF today. No long hair, no dyed hair. ): We're all going to shave it off in the army, so why impose restrictions on us already! Blah.
Anyway, I have a letter from my doctor recommending me to be taking on an out-of-camp vocation, which everyone knows as being a clerk, because of my allergies. Did you know that I'm allergic to cows, cats, milk and dustmites!? BEEF AND MILK! Imagine all the delightful foods that are milk-based, ice-creams, cheeses, pizzas, butter.. ): And my favourite bloody beef steak ):
I don't really know whether I want such a vocation or not. Even though being a clerk is like some dream job for many people, I'd much prefer to be tested physically, because I don't like to think. ): But on the other hand, I'm still wary of the allergies part. It's not something that can be cured, but controlled, so I'm pretty much very unfortunate. We'll see how it goes.
Trained a bit for NAPFA and the marathon this Sunday. The flu is causing me problems to sustain a higher pace. ): Endurance-wise I'm still pretty fine even though I have not trained for a while, I was able to run close to 30 rounds around the track before succumbing to boredom. But I'm not going to get below 10 minutes at this rate for the 2.4km run. Everything else should be fine, hopefully 25 points. =\
Please pray that I recover as soon as possible guys. ):

This incessant flu is spoiling all my training plans for the marathon this Sunday and my 2.4 kilometre run next week.I doubt I'll be able to get a respectable timing on my marathon, considering how these few weeks my respiratory system is too clogged up for me to do anything. ):
Maybe some miracle will happen and I regain full fitness suddenly tomorrow, and my years of jogging suddenly results in me having perpetually good stamina?
Dream on. ):
But still, I'm pretty excited for the marathon. Maybe there'll be some runspirator (that's what they call the supporters) who is my soulmate and blahblah and Jason finally isn't lonely.
Dream on. ):
Good night everyone! Pray that I recover soon, because no matter what, I'm going for a run tomorrow.

Went to collect my Standard Chartered Marathon pack today! Time passes so quickly, and suddenly next week's the big run.I'm so gonna die with the things I'm doing and not doing these few weeks. ):
Nice number right! I feel so ripped off paying $55. ): I must finish the race to get the finishing t-shirt to get my money's worth! I need to stop this lifestyle for a while. I'm so living outside of my means. ):
The enjoyable and numbing things in life are all so costly.

Last night was fun and pocket burning, but having almost a week of little sleep, drinking too much without much dinner, falling asleep on the floor under the air-conditioner, waking up in the morning with barely any sleep after the boozing to play football in the sun has made me feel really unwell. I felt like vomitting after every time I sprinted, and the lack of sleep didn't help too.Looking back, I think I am a prime candidate for someone who is going to die of a heart attack while doing sports. It's not the first time I'm reckless enough to do sports without any sufficient rest and food.
But maybe what my friends always like to say is true lah. Maybe I really don't have a heart so I won't die from over-exhaustion. ):

It's over! Yay.What a pass. That is what dreams are made of. Tomorrow's my last battle for the time being.
There always seems to be tons of things to be remembered. ):
I hope I can get more sleep than last night. My acne is always pretty bad during examination periods. ):
I know I've been doing things that I'm not particularly proud of, but symphatise with me this time round. I just need something to quell me over this stressful period of time which nicely coincided with a period of really low self-esteem.
Good luck to everyone for tomorrow! The boozing part too. If you guys get too drunk I'm going to exact my revenge for what you all did to me when I was drunk. :P I swear I don't remember taking that picture. ):

Today's paper was a case of over-preparation. Studied too much and too little came out. Oh well, it's not really a bad thing.But I could have had much more sleep. ):
Bollywood producers are whack.

Exams are next week! As much as I would like to get this over and done with, I also realise that this is the last "minor" examinations I'll be taking at SP. Time really passes so fast here, it just feels like yesterday how we skipped all the orientation rubbish when we first stepped into the school.But still, I can't wait for this round of exams to be over as soon as possible! Anyone up for getting drunk on Thursday night?
Anyway, it seems like a number of people think that I enjoy being single because of my previous post. It's just that I've been single all my life, it actually just seems normal that I stay single. I have friends saying that it would feel weird if I were to ever get attached one day, because it seems like I'm sad and lonely everytime. It sucks, but I can't deny that it's not true.
I do want someone that I love lah, but it's just not easy for me to fall in love. (:

If you have been reading my blog, you'd have noticed a lack of posts, even if there were posts, it's mostly a few lines.What can I say, but life is stagnant as usual. No, no, no, this is not going to be another one of those posts lamenting about my love life. I can say that I'm pretty used to being single, and not having that funny feeling when you see someone you really like.
Being single is not that bad after all. Yeah, I know it sounds loser-ish, but it's really quite true. Without anyone else to live for, okay maybe I have my family, you can pretty much partake in any of the vices you want, do anything you want to do. You know, if I do not have my family or anyone to live for, to take responsibility of, I would rather live fast and die young and forgotten.
Fortunately, I do have people I feel a responsibility to, so you're not seeing me die any soon. Or is there people who wish I will die soon? ):
You know, I saw something in Southpark that could have summed up the past 2 to 3 years.
Yup. Heroin. You chase the dragon, but you can never reach it. I now concede that short of a miracle, some things just cannot be salvaged. But I am content in knowing that I am not such a loveless person after all, because those times when I said that I loved her, I really did. Maybe I'm a loveless person now, but whatever, people change.
So yeah, life doesn't suck that much after all. At least I have my friends to get wasted with right now. (:
I'll end this post with a picture that you'd either understand or not.

What can I say, except that I need to break out of my loserish streak. ):At least you learn a little each time!

Temperament
Flexible
Nothing seems to bother you - you sail through life crisis free. It's not that your life doesn't have its ups and downs, it's just that you handle everything without unnecessary drama and antics. You approach each day fresh, not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. You are confident that you can handle anything that comes your way and experience has shown that you are absolutely right about this.
Interests
Thrill Seeker
You are interested in anything that is exciting and pleasurable. You're not afraid to indulge yourself - you live by your own set of rules and don't allow yourself to get hung on what others think. For the most part, you are independent and do whatever you please to do. Trying to stop you from doing something only makes you want it even more. At the end of the day - you live for life's most thrilling moments.
Amusement
Thoughtful
You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed - you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.
Passion
Physical
You are a cuddle bug - from a warm hug shared with your best friend to steamy sex with your partner, you enjoy every bit of human contact that you can get. You demonstrate your love for others most fluidly through physical one-on-one contact and you feel the most loved when you are being touched. You feel disconnected when you are physically isolated from others. You're a people person and a lover of all things human.
A very interesting test I did in Facebook. Pretty true, especially the passion part. Being devoid of physical intimacy and touch for so long is really taking its toll. ):

It's been a really long time since everyone came down to play some footy, and I'm glad we still have that groove going on. (:And bullshit Arsenal.
