[Life skills...]

Swimming. 70% of Earth is covered by water. 'Enuff said.

Cycling. Something which you will never forget after learning. I thought about including roller-blading, but I think if you're in a jam, there's a much higher chance of finding a bike than a pair of skates.

Driving. How else will you get from one place to the next?

These are the life skills I can think of right now which I think is important. If I ever have kids, I will make sure that they acquire the above skills. Are there any other skills which should be considered?

[You don't say...]


I suppose it's going to be a sashimi banquet in there.

[So much pain...]

This morning began like any other. I woke up, had breakfast, took a shower, got dressed and got ready to go to work. I put my work bag on one of my old chairs, and when I bent over slightly to pick it up, I heard a crack in my back.

I have a torn disc in my back. This was the cause of the back-pain I have been suffering all these years, starting around the time I completed my NS.

I was in so much pain today and could not stand up straight. I could not walk properly neither. Small moments caused intense pain in my back. I finished up the urgent matters in office and took afternoon leave and came home to rest.

I have a lot of mixed emotions right now.

I am angry. I am 100% certain that this was due to what I had to do during NS. The only thing is, I have no way of proving it. I sacrificed two and a half years of my life for my country and I am left in my current state...Does my country care?

They give free University education to foreigners, and we get saddled with a huge loan fresh out of school. No job, and a huge debt to clear. They import huge numbers of foreigners, choke our roads with cars, drive up property prices, push our public transport infrastructure to its limits. They price us out in the job market; there is simply no way for us to compete with the low pay the foreigners are willing to work for, for that amount will make them millionaires back home. They saddled us with the burden of in-camp trainings, ops manning, IPPT, and RT. Male foreigners have no such obligations.

I am worried. I am only 30-years old this year. If the condition of my back is as such now, what will happen to me when I am 50? When I am 60? Will I be bed-ridden? Will I be in a wheel-chair? Should I go for surgery? What if I become paralysed? Will I be able to pick up my kids in the future and carry them in my arms?

Somebody should pay for the state that I am in. I just don't think it should be me.

[Fail!]

I check my SingNet email once a week. I don't use the email for anything, I just go in via the web interface, look through the subjects, and delete all of them. Today, I saw a subject which intrigued me, so I clicked on it.


I have never used their services, so I am not sure how did they get my email address. The email seems to be meant for someone else. In any event, not only did they send it to the wrong person, they also spelled the month wrong.

[Hoot!]

Better late than never. I traded-in my old Xbox and bought the Xbox 360 yesterday. The main reason was because I really, really wanted to play NFS The Run.


Bring on the Red Bull and cup noodles!

[Legos...]

Dropped by my BTO site today to see the progress. Things move a lot faster once the foundation's done.

I saw this while taking photos of the progress.


They look like store-rooms/bomb shelters. Quite interesting, the way they build flats these days.

[What have we done?]

I took the following photos earlier today. This was along my running route. Actually, as a result of my back problems, I no longer run. Instead, I go for brisk walks, and I take the same route.

Not too long ago, there was an open field of grass where these condominiums are. Now it's gone.


And soon, on the opposite side of the road, the same thing is going to happen.


It's kinda sad to see these green spaces go.

[More memories...]

I bought another wrestling figure today.




Two of my favourite wrestlers when I was growing up.
