I handed in my FYP last week. So that's like a major win already. Just when i thought that i could finally wash my hands off this project, Jimmy (the medical professor that was collaborating with me) emailed to say that my project abstract was accepted for some medical convention. Which means i had to get involved again.

The main reason i'm holding back is because during my presentation my project was like totally shot down by the examiner. And he really had very valid points and pointed out some fundamental flaws in my work, as well as the work that i'm referencing. So essentially, when a full prof says ur work is bullshit, it should be bullshit. But nice try anyways.

So i don't quite get where this is going. Essentially some judging panel thinks that bullshit is good enough to warrant a poster presentation in the convention. So that makes the panel bullshit too. Shit is swirling around man.

I got a set of ankle weights to umm, help increase the intensity of my workouts. I tried to run with it, but realised that it's very very bad for your knees. Ya interesting right, most people would think it will affect the ankles. But no, trust me, it will kill the knees cos u will tend to land differently with the weights on and ur knees will be unable to get used to it. To circumvent this problem, i would recommend that the weights be tied around the wrists or arms and run. It's much better. When it comes to this aspect of working out, girls got it right. Bring ur small pink dumb bells to run. It works wonders. And u can throw it at thugs when they try something funny. 1 kg on the balls is no joke.


Some exercise u can work with using ankle weights. Shin exercises!


Something to think about when u are shooting.

This is precisely the point why the other countries are playing at such a high level, whereas Singapore sports in general will never make it far. You need the correct instruction from a very young age. That's why we only made it in ping pong, cos the china-born players already knew the hot tips in ping pong since a very young age. They are just working on fine-tuning these seemingly unimportant bits in their game.

Everything is important, you are just as strong as your weakest link.

Caught Burn After Reading. Essentially it's a waste of time, cos the movie plot's essence is about a pointless, waste of time CIA case that has no meaning and totally confuses the characters. So yea, dun watch unless you are very free.

On the other hand, Good Luck Chuck is a perfectly fine movie to catch! Jessica Alba is one reason, lotsa boobs another. What's not to love? The story is typical love story, so it's good for couples too. There's penguins for the kids too. Wholesome family movie for everybody. Sans boobs.

I realise i dun quite embrace the concept of rest. I dun sleep enough. I like to sleep late but i dun like to wake up late, so technically tt's abt 6-7 hrs of rest. Like weekends Shirui comes over early (cos she is a normal human being) and i would have to wake up early, thus missing more sleep. I like to workout, so much so that i feel uncomfortable if i dun workout for a day. And that's not good either.

Rest is important. I should rest more to keep my body in top shape.
