Rest day from Visual Impact training
Today I am back at the stations. It's been quite some time since I got to do station. Haha the juniors are great, always let me slack instead of doing stations. Brrr. But its fine, get to scold some NSman and slack and have some peace by myself. The office is always too crowded since the influx of new ASAs or you can call them clerks, came in. there are just too many of them, so inefficient the more clerks we have. But thanks to the influx, they have finally taken over their role of conducting Body Age - this programme and equipment we have to find your body's age (susceptible to error since its saf property).
On monday I started a Visual Impact workout. It is insane I tell you, totally insane! Bench press, incline bench, chest flys, military press, lateral side raises, overhead tricep extension, nautillus shoulder press, cable pressover, close-arm push ups which I couldn't even deliver. Lastly HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) to end it all, 15mins of 7sets of sprints - 1:3 work to rest ratio 30secs sprint. The intervals are utmost as they are powerful and helps to build power and burn fats fast and to increase metabolism due to post-oxygen blablabla. After the first two workouts I was stoked, I couldn't raise my elbows above my shoulders and shit but I had to carry on and finish the burn. I also needed assistance for almost everything, haha. I'm just not the gym kind of person from my past, but its cool, working harder by the day. My friend Hwee Kiat and I just started on this workout to reach our goal to look better than the model. It is easy to train to become strong and be big. But it is difficult to be tough and ripped at the right size. It is going to be an interesting journey of workouts. Loving the pain and fatigue. It means that I have done a full workout and pushed myself hard to the limit.
We were suppose to workout today as well but we messed up the dates. 2 days work and 1day rest schedule. Lucky I got to rest, so I just did my p90x abs and some kettlebell squat cardio and deadlifts. Just to pump it up since I'm eating more meat.
Weightlifting is of vital importance so that the diet can feed the muscle and burn the fat instead of the other way round.
I am going to try and finish as much shows and books as I can, just to make my life much more knowledgeable and well-rounded. Always been bad at general knowledge. Cannot let this place and jov eat me up.
Ohyeah must get those macaroons and friday! & also try to meet fiona for lunch at cjc next week. Brr its so far from my camp! Tsk. But its k ahah.

Impromptu movie and an awesome beef sambal fried rice for dinner!
Ted was a really great and funny show man. They were just so asshole, but really entertaining to watch, haha. As expected, having a movie led by directors like one from Family Guy, totally full of shit movie and fun. I had this $40 package for Cathay Cineplexes consisting of 4 movie vouchers and 2 free movies passes which i received with the new registration of a DBS Visa Card. Thanks to that, we saved quite abit for the weekend tickets with each costing only $7.30. Awesome voucher there.
Well, i've been watching White Collar like crazy and it is a really good series and i just cannot stop watching, hahaha. The way they manipulate any situation and the people around, understanding them and things, playing psychology with people so well and it feels so true, the way you look at people, the way you see or say things and what to say. It is so detailed and well-scripted.
It is been long since i have sat here on this desk and started blogging again, but i felt that it will be interesting and memorable for me as i have short term memory. It gives me a story, for a certain life that i lead which walks many paths, some alone, many self-centred, but through them all, it helps me to see the light, the peace that i have attained. Yes, i am happy, but it is because of how i perceive life. I am living in a comfortable and sheltered home, well-fed, paid enough to spend how i want to, living a good life in the army, easy to work with unit mates and commanders, what more can i ask for? Actually, i would ask for the life of love and sincerity that i had lead, to be with people of love, to share love, and to fellowship with sincerity, to be abound to a family committed to the Faith, and to recall my family with everyone and recategorized as a true big family of love, faith and of hope. Lest to judge and let people do what they want, as long as come back and serve and love thy Faith and of Thy Father, foremost why then we thou hatred haste, but bring brethen together to our journey ensures.
He wants us together as a community, not a group of people to rub against each other and piss the shit out of each other, but to disgress yet work together in different circumstances, and through the difficult and stormy times with one another can we see how different each and every one of us are and to see the importance of how every single role was played. It defines us indefinitely and creates a path for a future of bright lit way for which many has distaste and anger for but yet arms themselves for whatever passion they may call which was driven by thus far.
Today the Gospel asks, : Who are you called to be?
I say I am still not sure, i want a degree in PE (physical education) in NTU NIE but is unsuccessful. Psychology in SIM which is a craving but not a need but a useful skill but not a definite valued one in the current economy. Sigh.
Tomorrow it is time to beef up in the gym and pump the body out!
Loving trance and electric music.. Peace.

Catching up on TV series!
Days have past since I came back from Taiwan and quickly after, from Hong Kong as well, things seem peaceful and less stressful. The feeling of being an ORD personnel still lingers. I enjoy my job being a PTI, and the company of people I have around me. They promote peace, fun and great teamwork and acquantainship. I am glad I'm being treated so well to serve my term in army... Until the faithful date, 2 March 2013 (Sat), which means I will ORD on the 28 Feb 2013 due to Friday being a non-working day for me. Practically I would love to keep this job and the people, but I don't think I can because the pay sucks and I really need to enrol in a proper school and study - if I am able to even get pass an application to a school - currently still distressed on what to study and what is my calling due to taking so much time to enjoy.
On the other note, I have decided that I want to finish up the shows that I really wanted to watch since I am so carefree and of course very loose free at the moment I should grasp it. Dropped by Mark's place and get as much as I can. White Collar is an amazing show between the alleged art thiefs and the FBIs. The twists in the cases and plots are so fun and entertaining to watch and the cliff hangers are, I'd say not yet any abit disappointing. It's great. Next I'd like to finish up Grimm - fairytales coming to life and Sherlock Holmes. I may alos like to finish up Walking Dead as I saw that season 3 is out.
Recently I have been quite focused on burning fat and feeding the muscle. I've become more serious and actually putting some work into it. I realized I do not have much proper relative workout planned for my training yet but hopefully I have a clear path and exercise to work on. Last week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I ran 4km each day. I became addicted to the mileage and the burn and the run, I ended Thursday with 5.4km - a run from my place to Kurt's and Camilla's area and back. Sunday I plunged into the AHM which wasn't a 21km as NSF are not allowed to participate (safety issues as many NSFs and NSMen passed recently). I ran 10km with my sling bag - no bag deposit (urrgghh), and met Clarence, Gregory, Justin, Daniel, Man Sheng, along the way. Clarence drove and I sat in his amazing VW car.
Last week I clocked a distance of 27.4km.
This week monday 1km, tuesday 4km, wednesday 1.6km, Thurs intervals total up 2.4km, Fri 4km.
Total Sept 2012: 40.4km (my legs are aching due to some calisthenics squats and sprints I did but long distance is fine)
On a side note, talking about serious training, I bought Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Gold. Time to rip and lean it up. Gyming harder than before.. Hopefully it pays off (: cutting down carbs and I have to stop binging till I'm lean.
Talking about today, on the bus 45 which I luckily caught up to if not I will be super late, an elderly man spoke to me whom shared seats with me. I was sitting there enjoying my music off my fake Beats earphones. He asked me whether the Beats are really good. I explained to him that it was fake but yet still great, and talk to him about the prices, $10 to $300 range for fake and real. He seemed like a man who may be dealing in business with it. Wish him luck. From his shades and rolex watch, definitely a businessman.
I hope I have a good week ahead, I need to focus on the spiritual side of things. I'm much too physical. I need to be. I can't just be in the spiritual mode. People need me but I can trust God to guide me and use me to do the work.
