GG.SG farewell for me

The internship was a good movie. Funny and inspiring. Pretty much show us how google works too. 

Dinner at five and dime is full of eats with the pork belly i ordered. 

Lovely book made by GG for my farewell. 

Cant wait to board the plane and tear with it. 

Bring her to the digital world

Teaching my mother to use whatsapp. Line and skype before fly. 

Its kind of fun haha

Writing

Leaving the country for exchange in Drexel university in a week. I should get my blogging up again

Finally week at home

days at home are running short
there is definitely time to meet friends
but friendship takes two hands to clap

The return of mianbao

the fire in me has been staying small for a long long time

exams coupled with all the physiotherapy shit

i was told im ahead of time for my knee recovery

and will be able to run on my own this week onwards

i have waiting for this week for 4 months

its really an self-achievement

week after week of physio

shaggg

im glad i discovered TED.com

and found an alternative source of motivation in these dark times

with all my friends busy studying

and my 6 papers to face

as well as those annoying knee problem

its really hard for me

but i guess i have to stop asking myself why me

and ask why not me?

just like how i learn from TED

i was hit in the left knee when im at the top of my fitness

and i saw all these opportunity went pass and gone forever

the video...

bought back my memory of my air force times

when im there in Tamworth Australia doing my air grading course

the day that i failed my flying test

was the day the doors of  many other opportunities opened

my knee is my life

just like any other part of me

let the new knee help me embrace the new life ahead

Walking

brace is finally off for a few days now
slowing getting back to shape for normal walking
every step i took
i know its a step closer to getting back on track
the goal is there i will i achieve it
i know its coming
its coming

i got the chance for an interview with keppel offshore marines last week
i turned it down
for some reason i believe i cant get into my formal wear and down to tues
and they person who contacted me suggest that i try on the next window
which is on Jan
oh well
we shall keep that in view

Programmer of SU20 is formed up
pretty much going into shape soon
hope for the best for my subgroup
and hopefully it will be as good as GG.sg
haha

been through that kind of selection process
and knowing that last year my seniors did about the same thing
the thought is just funny
imagining people commenting about you in a room
considering your capabilities and stuff
haha
its damn good to be senior

went on to ns.sg
realise my status is permanently down pes
its so tough
to decide if i should up pes again so i can join back my frogman family
but again
the road ahead is fully of uncertainties
sigh
one injury so much problems

Frustration

it looked so easy to me
the crutches
its really easy to use
but well.. using it reminds me of those endless evolutions back in ndu
its just walking
but take out my left leg and use crutches
the kind of intense use of right leg muscle is really a chore
compensation for the left have its toll on the balance of the whole body
one have to really been through it to understand

if not for the menicus trimming
i guess im up and walking without crutches already
the physio told me not to put stress on left leg at all
thats really a huge restriction
so close yet so far
i feel that i can walk already
but need to hang in there
2 weeks she say
hope there wont be any dragging

school work is piling up again
this time with the knee problem
i cant run
i lost one major mode of stress relief channel
sports...
just waiting for the go ahead from the doctor to start swimming
and it will all get better

getting better getting better
stay strong and keep going
hooyah!

Physio

Went physio for my knee yesterday
i knew it was important but thought it would be easy for me
it aint that easy to control those muscles without the tendants there
and the new graft in my knee now have no join with the bones so i have no choice but to wait
lai ah.. lets do some physio!

Baby steps

im beginning to walk again
without crutches
yea man.. the feeling of walking without that equipment feels good
feels that im alive again
i felt that i can do more and more
feel like going for a ride
for a run and stuff
but it aint that easy as positive i can get
haha
appointment tomorrow to have my bandage removed
soon.. its coming

Road to recovery

Life will not be that easy for me after the surgery today
My acl reconstructure was performed and it went smoothly
Mother and dear was with me all the way. So much thanks to them
Not forgetting many msgs from friends too. I ask dear to take a photo for me of myself to let me remember of this pain that i current suffer. So as to remind myself to constantly becareful when doing sports in the future
I am positive and i will be back in action soon. I will be persistent and be at my top during all physios.
I can. I will. I do. Hooyah!
Nothing stands in my way!

SU19

Sports Unlimited 19 has finally come to an end
and i went through it as programmer for the first time
shag is shag.. but as much as we dislike the shagness
fun does stick along with it
seeing all our hard work paid off
events after events and a long distance relay run
defying all odds and all the shouting like no body business that showcases that progs rules is amazing

however, some of the senior progs will be leaving us, lets hope to see all of them back during our world lunch and camp preparations
promoting to senior level now
i believe all of us have part of them thinking if they can actually pull another event off just like our seniors
much expectations will be placed on us from now on SU20 programmers

well.. its 2 days before my surgery..
and im scare
perhaps this will be another life changing point for me
all the best to me

Inter subgroup games

Its was a good initiation by the chief progs to organise the inter
Sub group games. Initially i thought the idea was kind of lame. We playing against the other subgroup of how many people only. What fun can there be. But it all turns out quite fun when most of us are jacks or all traits. And within any subgroup there bound to be some stronger ones to support the group. GG.sg managed to win almost everything. Freesbie. Relay. Captain ball. Just not the mummy thingy haha. Great time to bond i must say.

Watch videos on iPad like a boss!

Bike mount

I made a phone bike mount on my bike using a icecream box and a goodie bag string lol

End of 31st batch first chalet

so thats the three weeks of in camp training
with excuse diving and ippt
i pretty much got nothing to do
but to report there and sleep
do abit of recording and attendant work for my batch boys
time in camp is like a escape of the outside hectic life
i guess everyone had a good time together and break from the stressful time out of camp
the only pity is not all 31st batch of divers could get back together at once
or it will be a much haywire time

5 more high keys to go
i am still in the grey zone of whether i will still be in NDU after my surgery
as time get closer to the operation day
more fear is taking over me
to know the next day i may not be able to walk like how i used to work is starting to get daunting
with the diver heart of mine.. Nothing Stands in Our Way
hooyah to my knee my heart and mind



yesterday we went to the new Ow Meeting Place near tiong bahru
and as usual all those things we talked about is still the same old batch stories
while we happily reliving those times
a group of about 10 men was gathered at the table beside us
its just look like what we will be in 20 years later
batch boy coming back together to talk about the nonsense we had during our NS time

First high key

its such a enjoyment in camp
when im excuse diving and excuse ippt..
joke.. and i cleared one high key doing almost nothing
gym and swim only
awesome

It all turns out just fine

in camp training
senior camp
zhimin's 21st
all turn out just fine for my timing
and work load
as tiring as it get
i tried to find time to rest as much as i can
war x is quite a good one
positive feedbacks from gls
yet to hear from the seniors
will fine tune it
unit problem is getting on our nerves when you enter camp and nothing to do
next few days will be packed
progs stuff will also going to busy until the camp is over
and then i will be confine to myself for a long long time for my knee to rest

Pre seniors camp

Finally finalise all the paper works and timeline of the camp
One more week to bingo while i get back to my uniform for the first time in something more than a year.
Tall and proud i will be. As i may not be able to have that formation badge on it it anything goes wrong with the medical review board.
Looking forward to reliving our pass moments. Try-outs and lastly 21st for my girl
