Memento Mori


finally an update after afa.

yeah after afa was sitex.

in the total of the 2 weeks, i lost abt... 1000 bucks off my bank account.

amazing right.

so now im scrimping and saving now.

also, i have got to more sensible abt my spendings now.


the title of this post, is a latin phrase that i came accross in one anime

mememto mori, which stands for " remember that you are still mortal "

how true.


while i spent this whole week of block leave suffering the fever and cough,

i was hit by a sucker blow.. just 2 days after praying for my family, mainly for my mum and brother's safe trip to thailand and travel there,

my mum disclosed this info to me

" your dad has 7 or 8 years to live if he continues to take medication for his heart problems, thats what the doctor told me. "

i certainly didnt see this coming.

8 years is definitely damn short.

i was never close to my dad, though i can tell he is a good dad.

based on what my mum always emphasises.

yet this good dad of mine will be gone before too long

this also had made me made up my mind of my future.

a future that i was still thinking has now been solidified.

i am not going to further study anymore.

its gonna make my family run into debts definitely.

so im gonna work after ns.

damn.



y h

i decided to change a song so here comes yet another japanese song.

this one is quite touching

its from the series macross frontier,

which according to the masses out there, the best anime so far out this year.

while the ending could be done better, it still pwns cos of code geass inability to deliver a consistent entertainment

while code geass ending is good, it had some left to be desired episodes in between, ups and downs, which of cos lost to its prequel

still its a rather good show

of course, the season for this year isnt over without the winter season, and challengers for macross frontier are plenty, lots of quality anime coming out in october.. and here are the ones im most likely to be watching


gundam 00 - 2

no brainer. gundam fan = watch even though it may be sucky.

ef - a tale of melodies

the sequel to the show that brought me back to anime world. and its a must watch on my list

those 2 are on my must watch list, due to so little time thanks to ns.

there are several other quality animes like nodame cantabile paris, clannad after story... etc

lets hope it gets better.

anyway. for you to enjoy the space opera, macross. best soundtrack of the year... probably. unless ef pops up with something even better which is probably abit hard.

Live version of diamond crevasse - May'n (sheryl nome)


Megumi Nakajima (ranka lee) - Do you remember love?


Megumi Nakajima - What 'bout my star @ formo?


May'n - Iteza gogo kuji dont be late (Sagittarius @ 9pm , dont be late)


May'n - Northern Cross


May'n & Megumi Nakajima - Lion


of course these are just some of the great samples from macross frontier itself...

what a great visual and musical feast!

dunno why just felt like posting suddenly..

been looking at old inactive friendster group accounts..

aka tkrcy, tk4k and such

these groups were created and gone just like tat

so are friendships..

it takes years to build a good friendship and suddenly in one fleeting moment

it just booms, its gone

yeah

so far i have only kept contact with perhaps 1 or 2 from secondary sch days. none from primary sch.

now the circle of iad friends are also dwinding due to many going/went overseas, ns and other unknown reasons.

perhaps the strongest grp of friends i have now are my batch of VIs .. though most of the outer layer is gone already... the core of us still remains.

which is good in a way

my army batch i think no more contacts oso so busy haha

and with my current posting.. i think will be too tired to even step out of hse.

somemore its bedok > lim chu kang

haha heard so many horror stories abt armoured infantry trooper .. how i am gonna survive is one question

haha.

anyway

tats it

y h

hoho.

probably time to wipe some dust heh.

anyway why am i at home, on a wednesday afternoon, in front of my computer,

when really, i should be in camp now?

answer is simple, attend c. in other words, mc

yes, im sick and gonna book in later at night.

some much needed rest though im still sick

anyway.

bmt is ending, no more key events, everything done and dusted, with the pinnacle being the 24km route march..

some ups and downs but its all right.

im finally 72 kg which means its bmi 25. total weight loss = 15.5kg.

my body fat % oso took a tumbling. from an amazing 50+ % fat on my waist to just 24%

and my chest and thighs less than 15% from 30+%

which is good.

but there comes tougher training after bmt..

so am i going to clear them?

haha time will tell.

week 10 is over!

and im officially 4 weeks away from pop.

hell the last week was physically gruelling.

but i endured and got through it.

and i must say im really proud of myself..

just the last week i couldnt conquer my obstacles.

now i can at least smile to myself that

i see some light at the end of the dark tunnel..

even though i may fail in the end..

i will not be at the very bottom...


im gonna fly!



book in lo


y h

so i decided to update.

yeah . its already erm... 9 weeks in the army..

haha.

lots of things happened of cos, but wont go into details cos it will be really draggy.

of cos there have been ups and downs,

but the ray of hope given to me by yesterday's evening glow

will carry on to me

till the end..

till the next time i post.

i wish for you well

in everything that u do

i know we may not even see each other again.

but thank you for giving me a chance

to be what i am today.

as i read something today.

the hardest question a person could be asked is

" what is your weakness "

i would say

my weakness is myself.

i dont accept who i am

i try to be someone else im not

and thats why i failed time and time again

and my emotions get covered by time and tide


bah..

anyway on a lighter note , no pun intended, i have officially lost 14 kg.

which means my ideal weight of 72kg is only 3 kg away. though i still look like a blob of fat when i remove my shirt but its good progress haha

till next time
