yep! its quite self-explanatory.
i’m done with with this space. it’s been quite a fruitful experience in writing those entries. but i couldnt find the commitment and time and drive in publishing my thoughts anymore.
but that doesnt mean i’m not going to express my thoughts. its just that i’m going to stick to just sharing it with you guys face to face. 
Was just having a grueling session of mugging. Exams in ten days time! While taking a 5min break, I came across this… it’s really darn darn darn darn funny! *laughing real real real real loud*
Indeed, it’s the men’s dream come true!
Seriously, kudos to Heineken, they never fail to come up with great, creative and funny ads! 
How time flies. We are into our 3rd month already! I’m sorry, for not being able to be with you on this occasion. Though we are world apart and there’s an ocean between us, but our hearts are just a beat away from each other’s. For I know, each day passes, means that we are one day closer to each other’s arms again.
Thank you, honey. What more can I say to you, who opened your heart to me, allowing me to feel the warmth of your love across the great distance that separates us? Our strong belief, persistence in making this work will definitely pay off. This is the promise I give to you.
During these times, we have our fair share of emotions. Don’t you think it’s simply awesome? Especially when somebody really dear to you can let you experience different dimensions, types, degrees of emotions? be it happy, joyous, touching, sad and angry moments? But no matter what happens, there is this deep down belief in our hearts that tell us everything is going to be fine.
Thank you, honey, for all the sacrifices that you have made, for having to bear my bad habits and over-reaction at times. I love you.
I look forward to our future. The future that we build up together, through laughter and tears. I know that no matter what we may face in future, we know that we will never doubt our love. Our love will definitely carry us through.
You know something?
I always think that we are the unbeatables. Because we know that we are staying strong together in any circumstance and be each other’s rock. You are my lover, you are my best friend and you are the one whom I confide with. I will be loyal to you and protect you from any harm, I will not let anyone say things that is bad about you. Never.
Wait for me, honey. Wait for me to come back with good grades and get into honours. And then we will embark a new chapter of our love journey.
I love you so much.
Your always.
P.S. I really look forward to your trip to Perth come this friday, which is tomorrow! I cant wait to have you here, seriously. =)
This is for you
If you’re lost you can look, and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I’ll be waiting
Time after time
When you fall behind, I will wait for you. When you are ahead, I will catch up with you.

“Love yourself first and everything falls into line.”
Lucille Ball quotes (American radio and motion-picture actress and comedy star, 1911-1989)
I believe that many of you would agree with me that the greatest love of all is to love yourself. Loving yourself, I reckon, is the most important thing that you ever experience in your lifetime. However, things are easier said than done. I mean, you self-sabotage youself big time, you screw yourself up. With that, you may be thinking right now, this is so hard to achieve! And I’m quite sure at certain point of time, we don’t even know how to start!
Peeps, what you have to do is simple. Make a conscious decision about loving yourself and act on it. Haha, acting on it, it’s not easy. Are you ready for it?
Well, we are unique. We are different (just like we all have unique thumbprints). Different people have different approaches to love themselves. But…. what remains the same is the intention and outcome that we want to achieve eventually. That is, to lead a happy and fulfilled life.
With that same intent and outcome, the principles of achieving that will be the same as well! Of course, as mentioned earlier, the way of doing it is different due to individual differences.
First, you need to love youself by eliminating all the self-criticism. Come on, don’t keep saying that you can’t make it, you are stupid and you won’t be able to do it. Have a little faith in yourself.
Secondly, love yourself by building your self-esteem. Make postive affirmations. You have to trust yourself by having confidence in the things that you do. Know what you are good at.
Thirdly, I believe we need to be truthful to ourselves. When we are happy, acknowledge the joy. If we are not, just say we are not. There is no need to lie to attempt to hide our negative emotions.
Lastly, be contented. Give thanks, express gratitudes. Appreciate.
Well, these are little thoughts from me. Hope it helps
To end this off, let me just share with you a song that motivated me to write this entry. From one of my favourite singer, Whitney Houston.
Presenting The Greatest Love Of All….
I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Chorus
And if by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
Remember, love yourself before you can love others.
Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others.

Should auld acquaintances be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintances be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For Auld Lang Syne, my Dear
For Auld Lang Syne
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne……

For some, it is a celebration of the achievements for the past year
and an expection of continued success in the New Year.
For some, this year might be an awful year with an optismistic hope for a better year ahead.
No matter what, let’s kick ass and forget our old conflicts with the people around us, our old defeats that shattered our confidence and our old victories that we could only look back on. Bid farewell to 2008, welcome 2009 with open arms as we renew our relationships with our friends and family, pick ourselves up from the defeats that we had encountered, and hit new heights! Certainly, 2009 would be our best year yet!
To my family and friends, a Happy New Year for Auld Lang Syne.
Sometimes, I just couldn’t believe this. I managed to complete the 42KM marathon! Right, even though this race was my second time completing it, but for this time round, the victory was especially sweet.
2years ago, just before I embarked on my uni studies, I injured my knee and an awkward fall made it worse. I couldn’t even run more than 5KM at that point of time, and my doctor told me that I just have to give up all lower limbs activities and all I can do is just to rest rest and more rest. I managed to clear my fitness test with the Army with just a barely sliver timing (2.4KM in 11MIN32SECS) and that’s it, screwed.
Just last year, I was weighing freaking 87KG, all because of the lack in running, in fitness training. Demoralised.
The turning point was when I made up my mind to participate in the City to Surf 08 (A half-marathon in Perth). I’m really determined to get my fitness back to order and this would be the first step. I trained nearly everyday, clocking over 50KM per week, and I made sure I maintain the discipline to warm-up, stretch and cool down properly, just to ensure that my limbs are well protected and conditioned. Finally, that day came. I managed to came in at 1HR 55MIN!
I’m back with a shout, along with the confidence! Now, 42KM Singapore marathon at the end of the year.
I’m focus, I just want to complete the race. I want to and I need to regain my passion for running again. Off I go…
Pre-race preparation. Heaps of energy bars and power gel. And of course, DEEP HEAT.
The day came. Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 08. First 26KM came as a breeze for me. Afterwhich, fatigue started setting in, cramps… the usual stuffs. Time to walk, stretch, apply deep heat and consume power gel. I decided to activate my last 15KM running plan, which was walking till 30KM mark, then start to run for 2KM and walk 1KM and running all the way till the finishing line from the 40KM mark. This plan worked well! I came in at around 5HR 30MIN!
Great job done! ))))
Trying to overtake the lady who doesn’t has a race tag. I was sprinting with all my might for the last 200m.
V is for Victor who crossed over the finishing line victoriously!
Last 2KM. Focused. Pain. Fatigue
Sprinting with all my might, with all my soul towards the finishing line! AHHHHHHHHHH!
Spot me if you can. [Hint: Orange colour top, running on the right hand side, pay attention from 11th secs onwards]
He is Raymond, my RSM. My running buddy. Victory smiles ))))
He is Brian, one of the CSM (Company Sergeant Major). He is also my competitive running buddy.
Lastly, my tired legs covered with deep heat.
Now, gold timing (<9min 44secs) for my 2.4KM fitness test run by 28 Feb 09.
Finally, I’m back! Back at home! 
Seriously, there’s quite a few things in Singapore that I really look forward to. First, it has got to be my family and yes, I really miss them. Secondly, I miss my friends too! Lastly, it’s my vacational attachment back in the unit! I just had my first day of work and I really got to say that I truly enjoyed it. I look forward to the rest of work days here for the coming three months and I believe I will be able to achieve quite a lot of things during my stay.
Well, I welcome this change, the change from the role of a student, back to the role of a military officer. From long hair to really short hair, from assignments & exams to projects & taskings, from a casual and fun-to-be-with outlook to a more professional and serious outlook (right, I am still fun to be with during off office hours!) and of course, the way that I present myself has got to change with this change in the role. Friends, the funny and crazy Victor will only be available after office hours!
To round up, I would just like to say that I am seriously proud of my job and I love what I am doing. I believe that loving your job is really important because you have to enjoy and have passion in something you do before you can really excel in it. Being a military officer has equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge on how to be a person, the ability to communicate effectively with people, the ability to cope with situations and also handling well in uncertainties and hostilities. More importantly, I also believe that my job is able to give me the challenges I yearn and the job satisfaction I look forward to!
Right, thank God it’s friday! Enjoy your weekend and I will enjoy mine too! Ta!
Wow! Finally, I’m done with my research presentation to the year 2s! together with my psyc buddies, I thought we put up a really good show! And of course, we managed to put our points across and made the year 2s understood what we presented, which was really good! Oh! We made it engaging as well! hahaha.. Seriously, I am proud of you guys!
Alright, now that this is over, I am now catching a slight breather before I continue on conquering my other hurdles! By the way, I have 100% worth of assignments to hand in on this coming Monday.. and yes, that’s a nightmare. Well, i think it should be manageable.
“Come on! Come on! This is going to end really really soon and you are going home!”
To end off, I have three reasons to be happy today…
….. 1st, presentation’s over!
……….. 2nd, won money in 1/2 round mahjong just now!
……………… 3rd, bought a crate of mangoes!
Alrightys! Time to work on my research report!
Just some random pics with the psyc buddies…
The 4 of us… starting from the left, skye my housemate, then lynette the skinny, then jane the sleepyhead and lastly, me! Now I know why jane didn’t want to stand on the right, because it will make the your face looks damn big…. just like this one…
This was taken before the above. Seriously… lynette, you are really good at photography. But seriously, no matter how good your photographic skills are, without nice-looking people like us… the picture will still not look nice. =P whahahaha!!
Embracing the world of psychology! with jane trying to steal my plastic bag!
Some random pics..
Alrightys! More photos to come when I dedicate a tribute entry to my psyc mates! Stay tuned! =D
Thank God it’s Friday!
Since friday is my rest day, so I am fully utilising the time by NOT staying at home! Haha…
I went to the golf complex for a lunchtime practise, whacked about 200 balls in the driving range! Okie, to be exact, it’s 207. Then came back home to rest a while before continuing my next activity. While resting, I ate my daily dosage.. Guess what’s that? Yes! It’s bloomberg, CNN Money and Forbes! That’s how I got my last entry.
Up next, I went for a 15KM run to Cottesloe Beach. It was not a nice run at all. I had to run along Stirling Highway and that road is very undulating. After that, I had to turn in at Eric Street, where that’s the route to hit the beach. The only nice thing for the run was the ‘going-to’ sunset. I ran along the beach for about 3KM before I turned back to run along the same route again.
I round my sporty day up with a ‘home-made’ workout. It’s just some weights and stuffs.
Well, I reckon that I will be able to sleep well tonight!
Have a great weekend, friends! …. and sis! Hahahaa
Alright, gotta go… needa rush my Korean Drama!
Ta!
