Those days

Today I had the best training session I have ever had since dont know when. It is not just the massive pump I felt in my forearms. Neither is it the ultimate shagness I felt after doing finger board.

It was how everyone pushed each other on as we did our "CAMPUS till failure exercise"

Dont exactly know how to describe it here but seriously, the spirit was there. FINALLY. Finally I could feel it in the team. Listening to your team mates' encouragement as you struggle up the 3rd lap is really nice.

It just makes you wanna push one more for them.

"Come on man, Just one more! Just one more! COME on. ALE! Come on!"

The same few words work wonders. Really surprised how those people shouting behind you can help spur you on. Getting past one rung... and then another.. and then another.... and then another till u really really max out your limit. Of cos, besides the cheering, you need to WANT to do it also. I would say that personal belief and the cheering come hand in hand.

Brings back the memories of my early years training in NUS. Those were the days when we hung super massive amount of weights, trying to just squeeze one more pull up. And as usual, you will always have the support of your team, making you just want to give your 101% percent.

Thats what I like about this team. Somehow this aspect of training was sadly lost along the way. But finally, after so long, the feeling is back again. That keeps me going in the TEAM. Knowing that your team mates are always supporting you. Thats my team for you.

As I proceed into the final stage of my uni life, I suddenly realised my time with the team becomes countable and limited. Slowly, new juniors fill in the gaps left behind by graduating seniors in this place I call my Second home. This final year with the team have thus far been good. With credits going to the nice juniors, from naive and perverted buy strongly keen to learn Yr1s, SUPER self motivated and inspiring year2s, Ever so caring yr3s and finally my batch of yr4s who stood strong throughout these 4 years with me.

Thanks to Jiawei for helping me find the answer to my question today. Greatly appreciated.

Major shift

Its time for me to blog again.

After much consideration, I have decided to make a major shift. As some of you might have already known, I am applying for a scholarship given by SGH. It is for MASTERS in physiotherapy (entry level). It involves a 2 yearss study in Australia, followed by a 4yrs bond with SGH.

Definitely a big major shift for me (as quoted by my prof). I am not sure if I am able to put everything down in pursue of what I have been wanting. I just hope that if i do get it, the 2years will flash by quickly.

I hope that things do not change back in Singapore (though I know it will be hard)

I hope that my friends and clique are still together when I am back if I were to go for the scholarship.

I am in a dilemma right now. Lets just try applying and see how it goes from there. Two years overseas seems long... But it is not too long either... Hmm..

HOW?

Rigidity

What a great start to a wonderful 2010.

Firstly, I started after this serious kick ass back pain. Finally managed to see Dr Victor Loh who diagnosed it as slipped disc. Early stages thou. Reversible if taken care of. SO he recommended pilates, swimming and physio. Hmm..

Next, due to my back, I havent been climbing much. Hence I cant take part in bouldermania. Taking climbing from me is like SERIOUSLY irritating. It is no fun when you see your peers catching up to you while you are handicapped. SERIOUSLY. IT IS KILLING ME. I may appear happy about not climbing. But seriously I am not.

Next, FYP on the other hand is killing me, even though it has managed to distract me from climbing. Results are not consistent. No time to repeat. Tonnes of data to collate. Havent settled much of my stuff. IT IS SERIOUSLY TIME TO GET ORGANISED DAMN IT. F!@#$%^

Next, my world class institute NUS has this screwed up CORS system that decided to go against me during my graduating sem. I am currently holding on to one of two cores that I need to grad. AND THE LSOC is simply refusing to grant my appeal. SO MUCH FOR YOUR GOAL OF ASSISTING STUDENTS IN ACADEMIC MATTERS. ALL YOU DO IS PUSH STUDENTS AWAY, SAVING YOURSELF FROM ALL THE DAMN HASSLE AND COLLECT YOUR SALARY WHILE SITTING IN THE DAMN AIRCON ROOM, SIPPING YOUR HOT COFFEE, READING DESPERATE APPEALS OF STUDENTS WHO BOTHER TO GO SCHOOL @ 9am TO MAKE THE DAMN APPEAL. SERIOUSLY! I THANK YOU. AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR COFFEE. !@#$%^&

Hmm... Seriously. 4.03 is hanging by a thread. And things seem to be out of my control currently.

Lousy lesson timetable with lessons on monday till thursday. Which means no time for western blotting. SERIOUSLY....

I just need some air..........

2010

Happy new year to everyone out there...

Not going to make any public resolutions....

Cos people might make a joke out of it...

So well,

time to heal my back. Meaning no climbing for at least a week...

Take care people.
