Tue 22nd april 2008

Long but interesting day.





bah =P its getting late im typing this msg. 11 20pm.





anyways woke up early this morning at 8am. well nt early if u compare wif the secondary sch or jc people. yeah then i met jpan at serangoon. we took a rushed mrt down to dover, or shud i say up. o wells, then it was SUPER crowded at dover mrt. then we had to walk alot coz my architecture building at end of sp. sads. but good training. yeah praise God!





today we did modelling with satay sticks, and blue tack. but it may sound lame but i realise we had to use imagination and design structures to make a unique building. so cool no one got same artifact in the end. wells thats architecture. 6hours zipped by super fast. then 5pm ended sch.





after 5pm i met my cuz jonah and we went try the sp gym. for me first time. lols. anyways yea it was crowded but it felt good. not just the training but the fact that i felt good as i was the only first year there and more buffed up than the other older guys. i wanna take this time to thank God that he let me train so hard till this day so that i could see the results from my hard effort. almost half a year and ive improved so much! hard to believe when i see myself as well. hmms well then thats more or less wad happened today. :P

Mon 21st april 2008

It has begun....

yea and im all excited to face my 1st semester of Darch. which stand for diploma of architecture. yeah!!!. abit high today. was a good day. we learned CAD drawings !!! so cool. got to draw chairs first, then a pavilion. (which was quite hard and i cant believe i did it in the end!!!) yea perseverance rules!!! :P

anyways. yea then class started at 10am and we were learning so much that it soon became 5pm and time was up. i really am glad that i learned something today seriously. that i also pity who didnt come today coz our personal tutor was like saying '' CAD is ur bread and butter ''. computer aided design or drawing that is.. yea then i took a long train home to sengkang from dover. whooo. yea cousins house agains. :P

oh i forgot to blog about yea,,, past few days even though quite busy for new term i wanna thank God that i managed to find time to persevere and train every alternate day again. last week till now that is.(went tanning as well just to maintain complexion) :P yea, it makes me feel good everytime i feel that pump flowing through me and that self esteem to carry on with hard work and stuff even though most people think im wasting time and dont have faith in me. coz yea i find as long as i have faith in myself its good enuff to ignore negative thoughts and go on with a new day. :P praise Him (do u think this foto is cool? hehe photoshop rules as well)

btw i wanna shout out to my poly frens that u guys are e best when it comes to support and care for each other. like everyone will wait for everyone without asking them to whether it comes to lunch or going home or even in the morning going to the level 3 area from mrt together. yeeps thatz all fer today... marcus.. out.

Fri 20th april 2008

Yawns its getting late. Anyways past two days didnt have time to blog. so yup all alone in singapore now. parents in china. hmm nothing much to say. was an okay day. went church and then pepper lunch. laughed alot about glow and his brother in law. lols. anyways yea finally submitted my bb week stuff.

*********btw i wanted to say in church some stuff i heard was kinda weird coz they were talking about cult groups and stuff. and i am kinda saddened that there are different kind of christians around. coz my relatives, who raised me up since young and i am extremely close to them and fond of them, yea they brought me to church for many occasions and i met many nice ppl there, frens from sas aso there. but they are mormons. but i means seriously i didnt noe wad that was i just knew they were a different group. and today the pastor was like sayin that mormons were cult group and stuff. well i guess its perspective and most ppl would think as the pastor did too. but i doubt theres much different. in fact i have been with both sides of christians and i find that its alrite. o wells u know wad i mean. but yea bless both parties.:P

and yea here are my photos i forgot to upload for my holiday in paris and amsterdam and new zealand. not in order so guess for urself where is where haha.

Wed 16th april 2008 Health

Overcoming myself and adversity.

A recurring theme in all my trainings is the importance of my mind as it relates to training, working out, developing my physique, and achieving goals. without mastery over mind you will never have mastery over your body. Desire to be motivated and goalsetting all starts with my mind, if your mind is not focused to do what is required in the gym, you cannot concentrate on the isolation of muscle groups properly. no coach, no nothing, just about constantly better yourself. i took four months to bulk up after losing alot of weight during the period of sec3 to sec 4 form severely overweight to acceptable. it was hard i must say. but possible. many of my friends keep saying:'' wah so free ah, can go gym''. but let me say again i had to ignore these comments as it was all negative towards my mind. because they do not understand that training is about finding time to stretch your body to the limit. After 4 months i was completely satisfied as i could see long term results appearing. anyways, whether i am able to continue my training is another thing, now that i am in architecture course in sp, i have to find time. its all about sacrifices i make for my goals that i am willing to achieve. furthermore parental objection is another obstacle in life we all have to overcome. the true test will soon come. and i will be ready. :) photos will not be up for this topic until june, when i get my photoshoot.

Wed 16th april 2008 Anger hides within the veil. its not just a game, its about glory

Football match... thoughts. (please keep this within me and yourself)

nothing much to say. 13thapril. we trained hard and were ready. however, haha. we were playing our first match as a team.

Feelings: put us on a field with such conditions not suitable for us and have high expectations. I was playing centre back and could not play my centre mid postion due to unforseen circumstances. much pressure on me as me and nicholas lim last line of defence. anyways, during match, the left back (wun say who) was telling me to do this do that do this do that, and i just say ok ok ok. then a few SECONDS later the midfielder(wun say who) ask me do this do that do this do that, i was like ok ok ok. then right back (wun say who) also keep saying this that this that then i reply ok ok ok. haiz, i felt as if people treated us as though we were amateurs and playin a football match of time duration 90mins for the first time( btw if you think carefully i played the full 90mins on the 13th april, do u think that if it was my first time i could last 90mins, just think... ). but its ok, they are older than us so telling us to do something that would benefit the team i would just listen and take it in my stride, be it negative comments or whatever... but REMEMBER this. though u guys are older,doesnt prove that your football is better than us. the only difference between u and US is that u were JUST lucky to be born earlier, nuff said. . .

Feinting ignorance is the best remedy, hint hint to the youth team. up and on!!! we are the YOUTH TEAM of chs for a reason. :P not the FOOTBALL TEAM of chs. whew i feel so much better after this blog. woah. please ignore this post if it does not concern you. thanks. its more for my mates who lack self esteem. i just wanna urge u to believe in yourself and ignore whatever other people say about u, especially those who like to talk alot about our youth team instead of supporting us. . .

Wed 16th april 2008 Nothing more, nothing less, im so thankful

Life with chs and bb...

actually i really want to thank god that i met Jeremy Pan Jiadong. It all began when i joined the boys brigade when i was in sec1. i did not have a clear reason why i joined either. mainly due to thier smarter uniforms i guess. ha. Anyways, i met a senior Jeremy Pan and only till this day after 4 years i realised that i am truly thankful to have met him. He is one of the most dedicated, and still is, senior in the boys brigade. Now, he is an officer and i have become the senior. Let me continue. He was the closest friend to me in my four years and still is. He introduced me to the game of football as well and i really would have to say that he helped me discover my talents and skills as well. Apart from that, moving on to chs.

Chapel of holy spirit, hmm. i remember attending the p.o.w camp in sec 1. Then, i met so many wonderful people and god as well! However, due to the secondary school lifestyle, i regret to say i couldnt join the church at all from that camp onwards. Then, 3 years later Jeremy Pan brought me back to attend service. I met the same wonderful people again!!! Thank god! as i did not have many friends and those from sas had drifted far apart, chs was to me my second home to me and i really enjoy being there all day and night. O Well, some of the wonderful people had forgotten who i was as 3 years was quite a long time. . .:( but some still could remember me!:)

Here are some of the pics of my wonderful, bestest, and only frens i have. (jpan, gwong, sus, chari, glow, yj) and time everyone spent together in chs outings, gatherings, sentosa trips and stuff!!! and of course my senior jeremy pan (i truly from the bottom of my heart want to thank you mr pan. for helping me for the 4 years ive known you, yupps. sniffs'')
