DARN INTESTINAL FLU
i really have nth better to do now than to stay at home rotting on yu-gi-oh abridged series and maybe some justice league unlimited.. so i actually had this flu since monday already but the doc said i was YOUNG and STRONG so my body still can withstand the flu but the sickness will just keep dragging on.. i'm imagin myself wasting all the food i ate for the past 5 days cos my intestines weren't working properly..
AND THEN, i weighed myself for this morning to find out i am 60kg now.. now i'm wishing my body oxidised all the fat on my body and leave my proteins alone to make up for the lack of nutrients or i'll be freaking pissed.. worked so hard this past month to build up the muscles for precious climbing power.. plspls lose the FAT ONLY. lol. though i think that's a bit impossible.. =(
was looking forward to climbing trainings! like havent been to climbasia in ages! so.. am thinking of going down tmr.. hope my stomach reacts well enough to the medicine today so i can go out without feeling light headed.
so well i seem to have a major image overhaul. i pierced my cartilage, cut my hair short, and now i've become scrawny and bony with sunken cheeks and add a pale face to that.. okay, the me becoming ethiopian part was just a bit exaggerated but u get the idea.
i wonder when i should start on my hw, feel too sick to do it now =x haha.

well it seems i've afk-ed again for a really long time..
shall cut the small talk explaining my absence cos a lot of you should already know how hardworking i am =)
had a great time seeing friends after a long time who i wouldn't meet at all if not for christmas.
SUNDAY was just great meeting all my cousins again and i was playing with my 8yr-old cousin's game boy advance's megaman.. haha.. havent seen them in such a long time it felt, well nice - for the lack of a better word.
The entire wee hours of MONDAY with the climbers watching ju-on was just great. wish i got a chance to sleep more though.. super tired by 5pm when had to go for two christmas parties and eat two dinners and come home to have an upset stomach.

btw guys, i shall have to cut things short here and i really mean it. i have cut my hair SHORT. no regrets, on a plus side my new cartilage stud is more visible now without my long hair obscuring it =x haha.. awaiting to see all ur reactions!

oh yea forgot to mention, in a daring move amidst fears of excessive bleeding or even blindness, graham bravely pierces his cartilage! lol.

been busy to blog this past, hectic 3 days where i became zombiefied towards the end of those days. thanks for the concern guys.. i think my mind was really just exhausted from excessive thinking-- mock comp and socializing (the hk ppl) on wednesday then the sun(or merely UV rays) on thursday drained me up.
WEDNESDAY
socializing has really kinda become a chore, but its a darn welcome chore. going into a conversation not knowing the other person and forcing a faint smile through one's weariness isn't a very nice thing to look forward to, but when u have friendly responses and two-way conversations there suddenly seems to be renewed energy. so i think i'm gonna smile more =) lol. well wishes to the hk ppl we met and hope they add us on msn soon and share the pics they took!
THURSDAY
Sentosa was just great. the weather was nice, cloudy and cool while we still got tan from the UV rays. it allowed us to almost tirelessly keep on playing volleyball while our battered forearms could still allow.

i managed to learn how to serve properly that day. FINALLY


this seems to be becoming the climbing clubbers favourite pose.

Gunung Stong Waterfall, June 06
well the day was far from over. kinda forget wad went on alr, let's just call it selective memory. wad i did rmb though was seeing the thoughtful sides of rong jun, jing wen and joey at spotlight trying to find materials to make a gift for that special someone (jing wen, philip's special as a coach ONLY ok? haha) and everyone else trying their best to help them with encouragement and advice. the whole scene was so touching i could almost cry. haha.. that's ALMOST only.
FRIDAY
PLS GIMME COMMENTS ON THE SANDWICHES. my mom taught me how to prepare and i did them all. darn made too much waste money. haha oh well once in a while pot luck is quite a nice thing to have.
oh yea and THANKS wei cheng for that saving voodoo man! one dollar a day and i won't be broke anymore by the ending period of next year! a bloody cool thought for next hols! THANKS! .. my excitement probably reveals my bad state of broke-ness i'm in.. lol.

Monsoon
okay there's an addition to my msn nick actually, it should be : a cold day AND pluggin on to 98.7fm makes the walk home much faster. but i decided it wouldnt sound as cool =x haha. i seriously never walked so fast without feeling dumb nor breaking any sweat at all before.. think i was like unconsciously trying to match my step with the beat of my chemical romance's welcome to the black parade.. visualise the speed youself.
sry to those who've heard me keep complaining bout the rain, but its really been a mood spoiler for me all this while. so many times my urge to go blading or cycling quashed by the rain lol and somehow, everytime it rains i feel like going home. i've never ever felt like going home earlier than my latest possible time till now i think. i'm a male teenager who feels homesick?? (can't help feeling a bit sissy =S) haha.
but i think those people who had their flights detoured from singapore to batam because of the rain are DAMN lucky. heard from my ex-colleague that there sells the best imitation shades of the surfer brands! haha well hope the rain doesnt cause those shops to have to close anw.
alright alright i hope i'll never be caught in the rain without my jacket or windbreaker and wish as much for you too. =D it's christmas in 6 days so dont fall sick!

this is not an emo post. =)
have you ever had the feeling that u are damn sick of your life right now? it aint the 'wanna end your life' kind but more the 'sick of some things that just happen over and over again' and having 'baggage' that cannot be discarded even when you have identified what kind of personal problem(s) u are having. i guess the worst part is knowing what is wrong but being able to do nth about it. well maybe the second worst part is you cant rely on anyone else in such personal battles.
So Sick - NeYo
Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cuz right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cuz you walked out the door
But its the only way I hear your voice anymore
(Its ridiculous)
Its been months
And for some reason I just
(Can't get over us)
And I'm stronger then this, yeah
(Enough is enough)
No more walkin round,
With my head down (Yeah)
I'm so over being blue
Cryin' over you
Chorus:
And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing
You were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs
So sad and slow
So why cant I turn off the radio
Gotta fix that calendar I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And now every song reminds me of what used to be
Chorus
Bridge:
Ohh
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone (Ooh)
(Stupid love songs) (Hey)
Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio
Chorus(x3)
writing that out has kinda made me feel better somewhat. man.. the little wonders of a blog =) told u this is not an emo post.

dinner with my dad, uncle and grandma (met them at the coffeeshop) consisted of 2 BLOODY BIG crabs, pork ribs and 2 other simple sides. well the freaking bill came up to $107. my dad thought the crabs were small so ordered 2, end up those uncles gave up halfway so i had to eat up a single 1.5kg, $37 dollar sri lankan chilli crab!
so there actually goes my 4h of bouldering, 120 sit ups, 60 bicep curls, 60 push ups, 6 laps of breast stroke, 3 laps of freestyle and half lap of butterfly today. =x not to mention 15 min of sauna which felt like eternity with weicheng being the crazy dumping-water-onto-heater-er and making the place damn steamed up.
man i hate having mental blocks..

this indian man asked for Mr Grahum Lim and delivered this letter today.. so it was the government asking me to pay a fine or go to court because of the offense 'riding during the hour of darkness without front light under rule 11 ( 1RT (bicycle) rules.'
20 bucks flying away just cos of some rule that hardly any night biker knew about. haha bloody lame shit.

i weighed myself at 11 this morning and was at 66kg.
got too engrossed in playing ancient games like nba live 2003 and fifa 2002 on my playstation and skipped lunch. (woke up at 11 so no breakfast too)
then i weighed myself again at 7.30pm and now i'm 63kg.
so i'm selling these enjoyable weight-loss methods at a special offer of $39.90 each , if u are interested, i am willing to negotiate a deal to trade ur useless playstation2 and a negotiable fee for my value-added playstation one console plus these games and more.
.jpg)
hehe. but seriously i wonder what's up with my metabolism.. think i'd better eat proper balanced meals or that weight lost may be precious muscle mass i need for POWER. but no choice for tonight.. off to curry vegetable instant noodles i go!
+ graham + 7:40 PM
a friend of mine (you should know him) has a penchant for suddenly talking about a particular worry of his then somehow it starts a LONG discussion about it, then in the heat of the discussion he'll suddenly talk about another worry -_-" everyone has worries and insecurities man, let's just try not to think of them too much about them or you'll make life harder than it already is =)
think about supposedly pensioned civil servants being sacked half a year before retirement.. SINGAPORE.

First of all, wanna thank GERALDINE for painstakingly helping me search for skins and SHUHUI for helping me finally upload it with the troublesome blogger beta =) THANKS!
well anyway since expedition and the most happening week of my hols has already passed, i have nth really compelling to write about now. SO i've come up with an idea that whoever uses in future shall have credit me to, and it is that i'll comment on a recently uploaded pic i have on friendster.
here goes..
i was receiving cert of participation in LMSC 2004, this is what i have been up to before my life now in tj as most of you know of it. SGT GRAHAM LIM in sec3 with the most badges among cadets i knew then :x
one of the quotes i took away from that day was "he who asks questions remains a fool for 5 seconds, he who doesn't ask remains a fool for life" and i managed to remember the 5th 'S' in some "5 S's to leadership" thingy and that is SMILE =) kinda only remembered all these stuff recently when i stumbled on this pic in one of my folders.
but would you believe it, that i had kena target in a fun way during the course cos my hair was LONG~ got niao-ed everyday by jit jin (a bloody cool officer in np) say wad i was shooting gatsby commercial.. haha.. cheers bro if you're reading this :)
i wonder what'd they say if i was still a cadet now--->
done with the reminiscing, this has been graham the climber
