" tell me who you are. not what you work as, not what your hobbies are, just who you are" - "anger management"

it's kind of hard, isn't it? we don't know who we are. we only relate who we actually are to the things we do. i don't know how to answer that question.

"there are two kinds of angry people. the explosive kind and the implosive kind." -"anger managent"

i think i belong to the implosive kind of people. i have to admit that when the pressure inside starts to accumulate, i will just feel as if i'm going to implode. fortunately i realised that pretty long ago and i've learnt to control it by saying what and why i'm angry about immediately on the spot, to the person in the circumstances.

ocs is fun. tell you people more about it next time. i'm in a rush now.

i wish my life will never be certain. i love it when i do not know if i will die tomorrow. only then, i will learn to live life to the fullest everyday.

now i have the phobia of relationships and marriage. i have no experience in both fields but the observation simply blew my mind away! i have the impression that relationships is all abt whispering sweet nothings, be there for each other and of course those occasional quibbles. however, as sad as it can gets, it seems like its more about being tied down, reporting your location every now and then, restricted priviledges of going out with opposite sex. going steady with your partner is just like saying "hey, i'm born for you. you can only have me. that's M, E, me! no one else. your eyes can wonder nowhere but on me!" . to me now, marriage is really the grave of manhood.(interestingly i thought about this when i was going to me ancestors' graves.haha). instead of beinghappily spending the rest of your life with your lover, it's more about spending the rest of your life shouting, quarrelling(quarrels. not quibble) with the person who sleep next to you every night. from making love, it became the mechanical sex making. (there's a difference!)

well, i got into officer cadet school. my dream but i'm not very excited about that. most people i've known deserve to be in the school as well. the system really sucks. those who can't work but know how to curry favour gets in. what in world is this becoming to? is this just a preview about life in society? sometimes being a adult sucks. or should i say becoming an adult sucks? anyway, back to the ocs thingy, i'm glad that i'm going to start my career officially in two days time. it's cool but i hope(partly sure) that i didn't sign the contract because of a moment of rash.

suddenly, i feel that my english is really gone. what english? lol.

why do people, especially adults, like to ease off the feeling of offence or superiority by making comments or orders respectively into a laughing affair by saying ha ha ha ha at the end of their sentences?

hmm..i love the new layout of xtri.com. it's more user-friendly now. i always love to read how some age-groupers or even some pro-triathletes write the highlights of their race. it's like bring me into their perspective and enjoy the race instead of viewing the race from an outsider's point of view. i want to have the video "triathlon - throught the eyes of the elite" but it's only available in dvds and vhs. i don't have a dvd player and i pretty sure i don't want to collect such things in vhs format. i'm also thinking of buying a few books about triathlon and the training methods. i'm really interested in it if you haven't realised by now. it's especially so after experiencing biathlon. i have the suitable body type for it, minus the body fats as my friends say. haha.

i miss long training rides, even those times i go cycling alone on that lonely road beside the changi airport runway. i simply miss sitting on the saddle and riding away. it used to be one of the method i have to get rid of my troubles. i have been neglecting my cycling. i'm still dreaming of a time trial bike. if i can start getting regular pay instead of nsf allowance by next month, i should be on a time trial bike by this year. i was flipping through 'triathlete' magazine just now and i was amazed by how this female age-grouper have such big thighs! no wonder female triathletes always complain that their thigh are too big to be sexy. i always want a leg like those of triathletes. hmm..time to start training...
