Finger so raw

But feels good cause it's this feeling that makes me feel like I've trained hard.
Should I still climb tomorrow????
Maybe go do some core pt.
Hahahaha.
Anyway trained with the team today again.
Only Monday will be the official training.
These two times are just the freshies joining in for exposure I guess.
Hahaha.
Anyway went to George's birthday today.
Caught up with a few OCS friends.
Good to see them.
Saw Dayna and Joshua Tan there too.
Didn't know Joshua was from TJC climbing.
Hahaha now he's in the team!
Okay I'm really very tired but here's a post for you all I guess.
More post tomorrow :)

TGIF

Thank God It's Friday.
It's really a rest to a hectic week.
Went to meet OC, Soo Hui and Jason.
The legit command team.
With me the only NSF.
Hahahaha.
Feels weird that they are always talking about army stuffs and I'm just there like hmm hmm.
But it was okay.
Like really.
Made me feel like I'm back into service again.
When they talk about Annual Combat Shoot (ACS), I realised I haven't touch a SAR21 for quite some time.
And talking about army all over again, makes me compare Army with Uni life all over again.
Uni life and Army life is SO DIFFERENT.
The kind of social life you engage in is totally different.
In army, you have superiors, you have subordinates and you have your peers.
And more importantly you have responsibility.
In addition, you have the authority and power of changing people.
But in Uni, everyone's just like leading their own life and mingling with people that you probably don't see their true colour unless you mingle with them long enough.
But in army, just one outfield and you know whether that person cares for you.
That's the difference that I'm still trying to get used to.
Because in Uni, everyone feels like they have a mask on.
And that this mask will probably be with them all the way until they graduate.
I know this is biased point of view since I'm just a freshie and school has only started for three weeks.
But my take away from this three weeks is what I've mentioned above.
Talking to OC just now on the cab sparked my thoughts of signing on again.
As I think back on my PC tour in 3 guards, it was really a very enjoyable one.
I miss my men.
Because they always gives me trouble and also makes me smile.
These are real emotions.
Smiles are real.
Everything is real.
So I think back on that time when I was smoking with Ming Kang at the HQ smoking corner.
He told me how he felt that uni friends are fun but not real.
It's so true now come to think about it.
And I remember him saying that he would feel honoured if 4 years down the road, I still remember the moment when we were talking at the smoking corner.
Things are moving in such a fast pace now as compared to when I'm back in army.
3 weeks felt like 3 months in army.
Time pass so quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the next week will be the one month I've been in NUS.
So far, I guess things are okay.
NUS Climbing Team has proven to be the only group of friends that I'll hang out with.
But in time to come, I feel like I'm going to be attached to NUS Climbing Team.
Hopefully this will maintain.
Because I feel like I need a sense of belonging somewhere if not I'm just going to be a loner.
Anyway all these words that I've just typed are under the effects of alcohol.
So ya, just filter our whatever you don't feel like reading.
Filter our whatever that you feel like it's just me typing drunk words.
But in all honesty, I'm always very glad to meet up with my 1.1, 1.2, and 1.9.
They have been a constant inspiration for me.
Partly cause all of them are so much elder than me.
Soo Hui and Jason born in 1989 while my OC is born in 1985 hahaha.
Feels good to meet up and I hope we'll meet up real soon.
LANTERN FESTIVAL!.
<3 p="">Thanks OC for paying for the cab!
And for the small talks we had in the cab.
See you all readers!

First training with NUS team

So many routes.
So little time to rest.
This is some legit power endurance training.
Feels good after climbing because I can top routes.
During dinner just now, it's actually the first time I mingle with a group of people.
And wow, didn't expect Dayna and Alicia to not go for any camps like me.
I thought I was the only one in school that is like that.
Quite a nice feeling to know some people that's the same.
So after eating dinner, Ferran sent me and Dayna home.
Cause of dayna's leg and cause I happen to stay near Dayna.
So free ride home!
The first day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
And I feel that NUS climbing team will be the only group of people I will be close with.
As in for now la.
Who knows maybe a few sessions down the road I'll be an awkward duck.
Hahahaha but for now, it's great and I'm really looking forward to the year end rock trip.
TRAVEL.
NAISE.
Okay shall head home and do my assignment.
Tomorrow will be a mugging day again.
Woooo.
What a different post from the previous one.
Hahaha.
Alright thanks for reading!
Nightsssss

Independent vs Alone

The number of people I can hang out with in NUS can be counted with my one hand.
Feels really weird to be in this situation.
Somehow I feel like everyone's busy with something while I'm just like hobo-ing around with nothing to do.
Weekdays starting to suck because the only thing to look forward to is the end of school.
Waaaaa shag .
Whenever I'm working I can't wait for school to start.
And now school has officially started, it feels weird.
But I do feel a little more at ease when I'm alone right now.
Yes, right now as I'm typing this.
Is like charging my body.
Hahahaha.

Just when I post the previous post

http://www.buzzfeed.com/andyneuenschwander/these-hilarious-comics-are-too-real-for-socially-awkward-peo#.ucYl6wWJK

As an introvert

sometimes, I find it very hard to find good friends.
Because I don't feel the need to know more people sometimes.
But recently I felt that it's good to have connections here and there.
So sometimes I'm like "Okay, I need to make some friends."
And end up in an awkward short friendship which is one sided.
It's really not easy for an introvert to make friend.
Or if you want to make it sound nastier, a socially awkward person.
Hahaha.
Some introverts are deeper than you think you are.
Being friend with one can be very special.
I mean, for example, introverts are generally better listeners than extroverts.
Because thoughts are going through their mind almost all the times.
And they are able to analyse and consolidate thoughts better than others.
And this is probably why when you tell an introvert your problems, he/she would understand more and.
I know I may sound like I'm trying to advertise myself as an introvert, but I'm just thinking, how many of you would actually try to understand what's going through an introvert's mind.
When I see an introvert, I know he/she is an introvert.
Because he/she acts like me.
As much as sometimes I want more introverted friends, because of the fact that we have common characters, I feel that it's hard for introverts to click.
And I guess this is why most of my friends are extroverts.
This kind of makes sense now hahaha.

Anyway, I don't know whether I've said it before BUT I've made it into the NUS CLIMBING TEAM!
Woooo.
A team of 48 guys / girls.
And there would be a climbing camp soon.
And a rock trip that will be at the end of the year.
I'm really looking forward to training with the team.
With Hilman as my official coach now.
Feels so weird HAHA.
He sat in today's briefing and seeing him give a speech to us feels quite funny.

School has been fine.
But I'm starting to feel the feeling of mundane and tiring.
But hopefully things go well.
A little stress now probably cause I haven't gotten used to how there are tutorials and labs and assignments and this thing called IVLE to find your own stuff inside.
And how uni life is so much about self-learning instead of looking for tutors for help.
Very very different.
Hopefully this stress will die down soon as I get used to it.
Thinking back on my holidays, it was so carefree.
So carefree that I think so much.
But right now, so busy that I don't even have time to think about things.
Hahaha.
Dk what I'm thinking now tho.
Like nothing to look forward to.
Feels all like JC all over again.
The thing to look forward to is climbing.
But I will stay STRONG.
CAUSE GCC NEVER ENDS.
ALWAYS READY
READY TO STRIKE.



Lol....

Bad climbing day

So much for training hard once I get into the team.
Today performance was way off than expected.
I really hope that I will get stronger.
But hoping isn't the word to use.
Managing school with climbing is going to be a main problem now.
How much stronger depends on how hard I want to train and how hard I want to train somehow depends on school work too.
But in another point of view, Im affected by my own performance means I still have that passion in me to climb.
And Im glad I found it back after Army.
But needless to say, motivation is a big issue now and I really hope that by joining the team I will get that motivation yet at the same time still keep that passion growing in me.
Because somehow getting stronger and growing passion is two different spectrums.
Unless, I manage to find that equilibrium soon.
This equilibrium will allow me to get stronger and definitely enjoy my climbing sessions.
Till I find that motivation to train hard, studies are in the game too.
It's not going to be easy I can foresee.
But we will see how it goes.
:)
So pessimistic weepin .
Hahaha
