My best buddy, Santa.. He's not here this year...

Ops, i sat on his reindeer.... It isn't moving....

I tried riding it, still not moving

Finally i gave up

I stole his presents, all of em... and i thank him for that..

i'm the thief.... where's the exit...


He looks like santa

Yes!! the price!!!

Worse wrapping of presents... first time a noob does it...



STOMP!!..omg u can even knee down to relax while using a mac...



Turning christmas tree at orchard..

Its there


They are singing the christmas song


Happen in orchard that these native people from Jap came to Singapore to perform on the streets...

I was knocking off from work when i saw many people gathering around something in the christmas decorated orchard.. Christmas song was played, and there i see 2 people playing chess with each other....

And the poster says "Father dying of prostrate cancer.. Fund raising to purchase flight ticket back to Jamaica to visit sick father..."

Oh ok, i was thinking at least he's so much better than a beggar who just sits there and wait for money... Its the first incident i saw in singapore who is doing this, but obviously he isn't a singaporean...

before the race, the sleepy face...

people warming up getting ready..



It was 4am in the morning and i took a cap down to padang... I came downstairs just to come across the taxi uncle swapping shifts... One of the uncles lived in yishun and i get to go to yishun first without the metre... Then ops, i realise the cap doesn't have a nets or mastercard machine... So i told the uncle,"stop me at the nearest atm for me to withdraw money..."..

But this really kind uncle told me to pay whatever i have to him, $16.. So i said, "next time see you at coffee shop treat you drinks..." as he stayed just beside my block..

I met Terry and his twin brother at the luagge check it, and we started the marathon together...

After about 6km, i said i needed to go first... My body was full of energy, so i went ahead...

My burst of energy came 10 mins after the race, and i go with very powerful strides... My body wasn't at all tired at the beginning so i really went on with very fast pace, cutting and overtake many people...

After 21km mark, they gave power gels.... Wow shoik, i had the chocolate one, taste like melted chocolate and that boosted me with the energy i needed...

here's the orange one, still unused...


After i go on to about 27km, my legs fail on me.. I had cramps after cramps but surprisingly, i continued running..

I enjoyed the water points along the way.. I would just stop, take a sip of drink relax, and then continue running....

After th 34km mark, my leg engines tell me to stop.... No more battery... So i walked from 34km to 42km.... This point of time was the most torturing moments.. My nipples, my balls experiencing abrasions... Poor thing... My sole was aching terribly and i have to sit down and rest every 2km... It was so horrible...

Luckily there were so many people on the sides cheering us to keep moving... That so moltivates me to carry on walking, although i couldn't run...

The finishing point was near... I still couldn't run... I can only walk passed the finishing line.....

here's the shirt with the medal

The proudest shirt ever, 42km finisher...

And guess what, i got my race pack for the race... Here's the blue carry bag from standard chartered.....



And inside the bag contains, some brochures, a snack, Deep heating rub, a wrist band and lastly not forgetting the running vest..



cool.... i'm sooo excited for tml....

just 7 more seconds before i'll fail the swim trial and heechai and betrand already completed the swim.

Half way throughout the last laps, i hear shouts.. I see people on platform... OK, that must be Betrand and Heechai, they were cheering for me to go faster... thanks guys..

I look at the giant timer... 39mins.... above 40 mins and i'll fail... I push out my hardest stroke, kick with all my leg strength towards the finishing...

The clock was still ticking and before i could reach the end, it was 39.50.. 10 more seconds...

I quickly pushed and pushed, finially reaching the ending at 39.56



After i left the pool. I just laid half-unconcious at the platform with my head spinning in circles around whirlpool, while heechai and betrand lift me up on the feet...

That was sooo close that i made it before i blew it....

Why do good intentions lay bad impressions..... Its happening to me

First of all, i am going to say this is sooo happening to me. In a moment, it just happened that my life seem to be falling apart..

I had a quarrel with my brother about something... I was told this... "Hey, taking your frustrations home and let it off on your love ones... Its so irritating when you do that...." then i will be like.. oh yea... i admit that i always scold my mum sometimes when she asked me for dinner because i am concentrating on something really important, may be game may be school work, or studying for exam....

You see, the fact that when i put in my 100% into something, i expect results, outputs.. And when there is something that is disturbing me or standing in my path, i just can't stand it because i want to accomplish something.....

My frustration lies with the fact that i didn't rely on my parents for income, and also have to concentrate on my schoolwork , my driving.... My parents understand what i am going through and i know it isn't fair to be flaring out to them at times, but i just can't help it....

I want to be able to survive on my own, to lessen my parents burdens but by doing that, i became the bad guy... I let out my frustrations at home, i complain about stuff...

I can't just keep quiet and go crazy..

The amazing thing about this is that people don't think i have a bad temper, but only my family knows about my bad temper... that's the irony..
