Swim Failed

After a discussion, we felt we are not ready to send the proposal. However, we both agreed with this date onwards, we will be fully committed. Obtained my PDL today, happy when I walk the talk. Now is whether I am ready to touch the car now, abit hesitation, but a man got to do what he has got to. Anw, pening down this horrifying experience today. It was my first swimming competition, and it was horrid. Simply not my day, a competition hosted by the engineer unit gathering the best swimmers in engineer to compete with airforce and navy. Swam 400m freestyle and 200m breaststroke. I came in last for both. Never felt this demoralising, I was told to go to collect points even if I come in last I still do contribute but of cos in competitions, who wants to get the last. Truly, its hard to be an all rounder. Sometimes, finding myself Jack of All, but Master of none. However, with this experience, I understand myself better - knowing where I stand and I know my strengths and weaknesses. Felt

Fail to plan, Plan to fail.

I have made plans for the next few months, and its going to be hectic. I have been stalling and stalling, think that there is always a tomorrow and realised I have wasted some of my hyper youth years. Many things awaiting for me to accomplish, its racing against time now! 1. Driving - Plan: 14th April is FTT. while waiting for FTT, get my PDL and start learning practical lessons. Hope to complete 20 lessons, FTT and final test in 3-4 months. Possible days to sacrifice - Weekends morning. Starting after valentines day week. 2. Business Venture Application - Plan: ACE is funding entrepreneurs up to 50k, hence taking this great chance. Have 2 possible ideas to submit for entry, however lack in manpower. Application is from 1 Feb to 16 Mar. Possible days to sacrifice, Mon/Wed meetup with team. 3. Korean lessons - Plan: To take a 10 lessons course on korean language, to obtain a cert. To be done after March or even as late as May. Have a voucher purchased at Cambridge Language School. Possi

The fact that I did not pass out from tekong (POP) made me felt left out now. However, I know there is a price for many things. I gain and I lose. But I felt I gained more :)

2012, "21 this year"

Marching into 2012 with a protocol, "prepare to rise 21 old boy!" Here comes another new year, 2012. A new cycle, where people starts spamming on facebook when the clock ticks from 23:59 to the much welcomed new year and coming out with new year resolutions... On the contrary, being so enthusiastic, but how many people actually did achieve them? We lose focus and sights on our goals easily, due to the pressure and the ever changing society. Then when we ponder and reflect on it, we realised many days have passed but we achieved little. I admit I didnt achieve much this year, my goals listed down for 2011 wasn't where near what I am now. Coming back from korea back on December 2010, with real enthusiasm and optimism of life. I told myself I want to have a car driving licence, scuba diving licence, get my teeth fixed with braces, slim down and muscle up and many more. Yet I am no where nearby. Its devastating and discouraging. However, I want to commend myself for a few thi
