Another Lab ends

The end is near. Its that time of the semester when you can actually smell the wretched stench of the finals coming..lurking around the corner like an ugly beast waiting to jump and devour slackers like me. Oh im so dramatic .... =.="

The signs of the end are clear though, a whole batch of 2nd internal tests are coming ahead, begining with microbiology starting this thursday. The wet portion of Genetics202 lab has also come to an end.As usual, we take photos to document this momentous ocassion.

I was doing the Iban wind walk..and i never realised how tall how aik is haha.

The confusion of having more than one cameraman( try to spot Mr Wong our lecturer)

New generation of scientists..Myself, Sid, Phey Chyi, Kar Yan and Chong Hou with his 'watson and crick' pose haha!

I must say that the genetics lab was the most dull lab this sem..too many reasons, which i shall not name here.

Thats all for today, back to studying for microbio.

Ever wondered what it was like to get into a fight right after waking up? Well i found out today

I was so hyped up about going for the hard sparring..i even rested for 4 full days to limber up my muscles as well as giving my injured ankle a well deserved rest. Beyond my wildest expectations, it made full recovery in just 4 days time!
So with such gusto, i was going to rip my opponent apart, whoever that unfortunate soul was.I took a nap at 5pm. Woke up at 8.30. Shit. Im late by half an hour. Almost thought of skipping when the instructor called and asked me to come.

Me: Hello?
AH LIM: EH WHERE ARE U?
Me: Urmm..i had meeting.. meeting..kickboxing issit??
AH LIM: YALAH!FASTER LAH!!
Me: OKKkKKkkkkkkkk

I tried to come out with smart excuses, but 'meeting' was the only word that came out in my foggy post-nap mind.

I rushed to the training area at SAO concourse only to find everyone was waiting. The juniors were giggling coz i obviously had just woken up..=.='' there goes my macho status. Ah lim was giving a briefing to the seniors on competition rules when i jumped in.
He didnt even bother asking..took one look at me and repeated everything he had just said.

"Kick to the head- 2 points, Throws 2 points, getting pushed out of the ring-3 points..if that happens 3 times the match is forfeited. No points for kick bellow the knee cap but is allowed. 1 point of kicks to the thigh region. All punches 1 point. Go warm up, use the headguard and shin pads."

wtf..i didnt know it was that serious...use headguard sumore. We never used headguard and shin pads because power was always controlled. So i guess today all hell is unleashed.

The fact that Bryan got KO'd in the first 20 seconds didnt help(Body slam to the ground by Ah lim)

My turn came up pretty fast and it was me vs Ah lim.2 rounds, 3 minutes each round, 1 min rest in between. I was actually depending on Bryan to wear him down for at least one round..mana tau his fight was over in a flash.

My perspective:
I fought relatively well, got him on counter jabs and hooks. Landed a kick to his upper left arm which made him cringe. He got me in the head with a fast left kick but i recovered to catch his leg mid air, and took him down.

His Comments:
Too slow, stamina was totally out by round 2. Last 30 seconds was survival-dont-die mode. Hooks were to wide, hands dropped too much(second round). Your stamina is bad..

must say it was one of my better sparring sessions with Ah Lim..previously i would just be trashed right out with no punches or kicks landed.

It actually feels kinda good to fight after wakingg up :). The fear of a fight is not there coz youre still so blur from the sleep so it helps with the nerves haha. It was only after the 2 rounds ended did i realize, damn,i got out in one piece..no blood, no cuts, no bruises,no ulcers hooray!I would normally think about these stuffs before the sparring session...resulting in a not confident fight..resulting in getting your ass kicked to the ground.

I should sleep and come late for every kickboxing session..id be a champion in no time :)

BTW blood drive is currently on till friday..to all healthy individuals, please donate.( regardless of blood type..AB also can....Pusat Darah Negara is constantly short of blood.)
Besides, ur red blood cells would be destroyed in the spleen every 3 months neways. When you donate blood, the hematopoeitic stem cells in your bone marrow would undergo hematopoiesis to form new RBC..you should get back your original number of RBC sooner or later :) .Ok enough immuno.

Sick of the tension, sick of the pain
All this shit is making me insane
miserable laughter, half hearted smile
I aint gonna make it past this last mile..

Boredjoe is in da house.

Hey all, I have decided to start blogging again, after like what..4 months of not touching my blogspot account. I decided to not blog for awhile coz i was reli emo then, with all those lousy emo thoughts constantly in my mind. So rather than polluting my blog with emo-ness, id rather not write anything at all.
Having said that, its good to be back and would try to at least update weekly on the weekends. Im in the process of finding new blogskins to replace this default one..so this blog would definately be undergoing some tweaking in the days/weeks to come.
The past few weeks have definately been hectic. Quizzes, tests, assignments, lab reports and journals, not to mention the MSMBB quiz which i took part in UCSI as well as completing the really mafan application forms for australian universities. All that coupled with kickboxing and gym(whenever possible)..it does get rather stressfull.( come to think about it i hardly hav time to study ;P)Ive been eating so much this past few weeks im not surprised if my weight shot right back up to the CNY-season weight.
At least most of the work is done, tho i still have genetics lab report and journals due TOMORROW and a microbio assignment due TOMORROW as well.Ill get started after this haha.
Went out with friends yesterday to catch valkyrie @ ONe U. A pretty decent movie but id say its not for everyone..history buffs like me would enjoy it though. Went to Aaliyah@ Jalan Dungun, Damansara for a few drinks after that..as usual the house band kicked ass but there was no seats left so we had to stand for the night..plenty of high class girls(Only interested in dirty old men with lots of $$$$ so ppl like me dont even stand a chance) :D.To paint you a clearer picture, there were 2 ferraris and a porsche parked right outside the place :S
Thats all for now i guess. Hopefully my ankle would be fully healed by tomorrow coz were gonna do some hard contact sparring in kickboxing...yay! Tho im still far from my ideal fight weight of 83.9kgs/185lbs. CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO :D

Searching

My absence from this blog probably has not been missed by the tiny and insignificant portion of cyberspace users who read this blog( Not that my readers are insignificant! U guys are the best..even if u acknowledge reading this blog or not, i thank you sincerely :D).

I love pondering. When im supposed to do something like complete a task which was assigned to me, id rather slack and ponder on things which dont really matter or affect my life. Or do they? I ponder on things like the paradoxial nature of life. On why to have happiness, there must be suffering. To feel pleasure, one must first understand pain. And to truely treasure the best life has to offer, one must have lost something dear to him or her.

It is not in my intention to answer these questions in my blogpost, because i dont have the answers for them. Not yet anyways.

Maybe you can help me ponder about it ;).
