Had Muay Thai camp during the weekend.
haha.
had to say, before the camp i was looking forward to it a little. =
although it was quite a turn off that that was the last weekend before school started again.

Took many hits during the practice spar that nearly made me cry.
I've got bruises to prove, lol.
but i gotta thank the person who beat me up that bad, cuz i realised one ugly side of fighting.
it hurts.

it wore me out so much, i didn't want to go for the actual spar later on at all.
the friggin bruises hurt and i was outta breath after that practice.
and then i had new found respect for the seniors, cause they have fought so many times, and still continue to want to fight.

I lost in the practice spar.

and i learnt something else about fighting.
don't give the person rest till they turn away.
the moment you get the chance, start hitting and don't stop.

I'm glad i took all those knocks during the practice spar, cause i won't take fighting so lightly now.

i beat the first person i fought.
but a friend told me i wasn't hitting hard.
maybe i'm just not much of a fighter, because i never want to beat up a person as if i hate him/her.
its just not nice at all.
and so maybe i wasn't giving it my all but when i think about it, i don't think i want to if the person hasn't done anything to me.

and then second round was bad.
i hit the person in the face when she wasn't blocking and i think it hurt.
and she got extremely flustered so had to stop the fight.
i was so afraid i'd caused some serious injury or something.
and it was pretty damn traumatising.
and that just reinforced the point i made just now.
i mean, i ended up hurting a person when i'm supposed to be loving him/her.
i have not the heart to hurt others.

now i might not willingly go for a spar anymore.

its been too long since i last blogged.
this kinda feels nostalgic, hehe.

School's been just kinda dreamy.
i mean, its just hard to believe that i make films and draw storyboards for homework while other people do maths and physics and all those wordy, numbery things.
in school i learn how to work the sound equipment, turn footage into actual videos..
its pretty darn cool.
the stuff i was doing for cca in secondary school is now the main thing i have to do for poly. haha.

but then again it gets quite.. i dunno. tiring?
lol. i'm not even into second year and i'm saying this.
I think i'm just not the kind that likes doing work outdoors.
and then theres that i wanna really do things well, i just don't know how to and in the end it doesn't turn out as nicely as i want it to and it gets frustrating.

i like writing the script,
i don't like executing it.
i like editing.
and i conclude that my ideal kinda work is one where i can sit down alone indoors and work on something i'm good at. hahhaha. i'm lazy to go out man =_=

man its been another long absence from the blogging world!!
not that i explore much of it =_=

TODAY IS THE DAY I FINALLY STOP WORKING FULL TIME IN THE OFFICE!
and i was so happy after leaving the building.
but it kinda saddens me that i have time but i won't be earning money anymore =(
ah well.
anyway, in future unless i'm left with no choice,
i will NOT work in an office as any kinda of admin staff again =_=
that kinda life just seriously sucks.

now i'll spend my time with my beloved guitar,
prepping for 1st april (its diana's bday! and i miss her furriness)
when i'll be auditioning for the busking license ^^
i'm still waiting for news about the amp i've yet to buy though.
swee li ran out of stock.

aside from that, i actually am not sure what to do with the remaining holiday.

go look for a good cheap external flash for my camera..
then start being a proper photographer i guess?
i've decided not to upgrade anyway.. i don't wanna spend so much. sigh.
my family is going broke!

and maybe go out more with poon? hehe.
help cherlyn with helping junshen with his studies i suppose.. lol!
ah well, we'll see when all the free time comes charging at me.
but man, those 3 months of work were a torture.

till next time!

days in pahang

so everything's been fine this far into the camp!
tomorrow we'll all be heading back to singapore by train, and i gotta say, i'll miss this place (even though i never got to interact much with the place like my juniors did..)

Day 1 was spent mostly in the bus travelling (i like long journeys =) i sit in the bus and after a while i wanna stay like that forever ) Then went to hotel and then to the different campsites to check on the peeps (they were pitching tents!) had to sit a short little boat ride across a river to one of them =D it was like a real long sampan divided into many sections for ppl to sit.

Day two, went to see how the 'higher' activities were going (rock climbing, absailing.. Flying fox, river crossing.. White water rafting). My cam ran out of batt! Ah! But anyway before that happened i rock climbed =D oh yeah and then at night the group at the caves had to go on a solo walk in the pitch black path to the campsite from some distance away! I stood with the teachers next to a small river so the ppl won't fall in ^^ and the darkness was quite terrible. Kept imagining lots of random things.

Day three, went to see how activities for 'faster' group was going! They had to cycle 54kms xD one day i'll try that. Then checked on the 'stronger' group, watched a chicken get killed and then went back to see how cyclists were doing!
