Thanks all

I had a bad fall during my IPPT last Tuesday. As a result, I was on MC for 2 days due to chest pain, whereby it lie on my wrist facing down, which is really painful.

I am feeling nauseous at that point of time, and unable to continue my remaining test: 2.4km run.

As this is the IPT-IPPT, the WO allowed me to skip the run and considered me cleared it with a fail. At least I did clear tho.

That is the first time ever I had such a bad fall! I was taking the shuttle run, and right after I tapped the metal bar on the floor, turning back straight result me to go blackout. The slant image made me ran to the left and then, I collapsed on the floor.

Deep cut on knee cap, long scratches on arm, chest pain and giddy are the aftermath due to the fall.

Thanks to those who concerned on mine and wifey's Facebook, I am feeling a lot better now!

Some IPT information and F1 situation!

As F1 night race is coming to Singapore next week, I would like to share some horrible crash!

Horrible F1 accident sia
Click to see!!!

As I check through Clubsnap forum regrading the IPT question, and according to the rest who attended before, upon finished up to 8 lesson of IPT which include IPPT, there's no need to go back for 9th and 10th lesson (you go back if you skip 1 lesson before and min. 8th session is for IPPT)

That means.. NO MORE IPT! HURRAY!!!

Trailer on radio that I hate and IPPT

First and foremost, due to some of my colleagues and friends read my blog, I decided to give initial name to all whom I knew. Hee

Some of the trailers I heard over from Class95 really creep me! Bad music and idea. Sorry that I slam but I just can't help it.

1. Jean Danker song for Fearless girls. I do not really like the show at all as I heard it while driving during 7pm.


2. VW trailer on animal description. It just pisses me off


3. Subaru trailer! Speechless for degrading the nice car. Plus, a big turn off for keep having Ah Seng as character on it for so long! Horrible!


4. Date Mate music. I like the sweet show from Yas, but not the ghostbuster music which they sung on the new lyrics. I'm sorry, it just not nice. I cannot take it whenever I heard it!

That's my turn off on the radio recently.

Today IPPT is fast for both Yusman and me. It was lucky that we got the number 391 and 392, because holding 401 and above, they got to wait. It is the first time both of us taking IPPT with some others too. So been confusing, we decided to join the Q and finish the static station before the PTI announced no 401 and above got to wait.

For SBJ, I jumped and trip myself and fall on the board. Yah, I got abrasion on my left knee. Again, I got injury due to SBJ and till now my left knee is in pain. For that, I guessed it hurt my right shin. Sigh.

I did well for sit up and shuttle run. For pull-up, I am unable to get 4 today as my aching part was still on from Monday training. Thanks to the PTI who trained us by hanging there and do 4 sets! Idiotic. To think my pull up drop from 8 to 2. Sigh. I had not been training hard recently tho.

For 2.4km run, it is 6rounds in the car park of military multi storey. I jogged only 1st and last round, end up the timing is 24.00 min. 2.4km for 24min, look nice huh! Yeah, 2 more lesson to go and I be saying good bye to Maju for a year plus! I shall see it during 2010! LOL

While traveling along PIE from BKE, the street lights were not on! Cool man! I really love the darkness and see only headlights of every cars! Of course, safety is important. There's light when I drove until Eng Neo exit towards Steven Road. Got to fetch my wife since she had to cover duty for a week as her coll went overseas. Some remarks that I heard does not make me feel good. It is good that the teachers are so understanding.

Yes, while driving, I took out my PDA and video down the road! LOL. I feel so Queensland, Australia! Because back then, while heading up to Wallaby exercise area, we got to travel long distance and there's no street light and using only the reflective poles to guide the road. Beside that differences, the cars there are much lesser. haha

Here's the video that I just upload on youtube. LOL. Music was from my mp3 while driving.

additional Monday talk

As I mentioned yesterday regarding to the burning bin. This is how it turn out.


The outcome after I 'smashed' the burning bin into that shape. I kept praying non stop as I really cannot see when I park my car.

After I reached Maju camp for IPT, just nice we started the training. Pretty fast as I thought that we will end early. Hell NO!

After the warm up, we been told to do 5 set of pull-up. While some rest and chose not to do it, there are quite a number of people willing to do it.

Set 1: Hang on bar for 30sec. yah, my arm ache like hell now and my finger almost can't move after that!

Set 2: Do your maximun of pull-up. I did 3, which is more then enough

Set 3: 4 x pull-up and come down slowly within 3 sec. So called reverse pull-up. Did 3 only

Set 4 (which it ended by somehow): Pull-up and hang on for 30sec. I did 15 sec as I can't hang on any further

Next training, proceeded to Standing Board Jump and everyone line up in 2 to take turn to jump. Waste of time as I thought because Wednesday is IPPT day! Plus, due to so many people... my god... until what time?

The PTI talk damn mono but can really be a lecturer tho! LOL

As I walked around the area and waited for the rest to finish it, I saw my old Secondary Sch pal! Surprising that he still can recognise my voice after I answer some of his question! LOL

He actually turned out to be one of the junior in my sec sch for NCC. He is called Rudee. In fact, he told me that during the BMT time, he found that NCC was much tougher because of me, been way too harsh on training back then. I made them ran from parade square to main gate to and fro umpteen times! That's really call Tekan session!

Anyway, this friend of mine came late for his Phase 2 and as Maju been well known for lenient, told the guys to join the IPT guys and counted them for attending. Good huh? Of course, they are keen for IPT too.

Soon, I saw the rest went head up to parade square and I joined up.

Never did I knew that there's MORE training! Time read: 8.30pm! What the hell shit?! We were told to sprint up the slope and then jog back down interval of 2 groups for 4 laps. Ok, wasting time is sure but at least I sprinted last 2 rounds tho. LOL. Feeling great tho.

8.50pm, we started to warm down and end up, there's OC talk which delay for another 10min plus! What da... End up I reached by around 9.20pm. Sigh... what a day... After telling Yusman about my day, he kept implying that it's really a Bad hair Day!!!

Apart from some stupid training for yesterday, I saw some new botak to Maju Camp. LOL. Seeing new birdies are so funny tho. Remembered the past.

Yusman were quite pissed on some guys talking in Malay mocking all the IPT sprinting up and down all these. He almost wanted to scold them back to respect the IPT guys here. So what if we are RT or IPT. In fact, you are the one that is holding on to Green IC! Most of the people were married and had kids, working long enough to support own families! You freaking dare mocking on us, are you asking for bash up? Think before you talk because you will be in this situation in next 10 years or so. Don't try to act macho in front of others, let's see next years down the road. Don't be a prick ass. This is no racist as these are what my pal heard from their talking. be it who, you are asking for trouble and had no common sense at all!

Oh yah. I saw Chrysler Cab today while on my way to work! Black and big rims like bling bling! Woo.. awesome man! Degrading of car... Funny that after telling Kelvin about it, he saw the cab during lunch time! LOL


Chrysler Cab spotted! See at my side mirror!

Look stupid if I take the camera / hp camera to shoot it from my rear mirror.

As the cab is too close to me, I had difficulties to shoot it during traffic light.


A better view of Chrysler cab at my left side. Pity that I can only see the back view of it.

I was driving at that time and it is not wise to shoot it as it will endanger myself and other drivers.

-

Yes, we had set up an account for our 36ixties group in facebook. Do join us tho. Glad to hear more positive comments tho. We are on the move to next big production shoot, anyone with full tattoo and non offensive are welcome to email us or drop an PM in facebook.

Do look out for 2009!

P.s. I wanted to change a new template as I can't get my date done up for every post I blogged.

A day of misunderstanding

I decided to blog it down because I think I should. Someone is hurt for what I had wrote on my blog some times ago. You had interpret the whole sentence. It is not meant to be what you think so. Patience is the word and should give yourself no stress. The more you hope for something, the other answer will appear. I did not meant anything to say that to stab into your heart. The word is patience and be nice. Everything will come eventually.

Everything will go smooth for you next year. You should not be disheartened at all and learn to take things easy even though I know it's hard. I am not putting some stupid air by typing this.

You been told that you got to wait = patience. She prayed for you and next year is positive = patience. You just need to be patience and be nice. And also partly due to new working environment that you just join which not might 'nice' for company tho. Plus gharment announcement. See? Please get this in your mind that not everything is bad, it is good that everything going well and smooth. Everyone is very concern towards you, but yet you chose to suffer in silence. You should not avoid at all because you will be in this shoe real soon. Everyone meant no harm because we care, ok?

Enough of those talk and I shall blog about some other stuff.

IPT training yesterday is great. I cannot imagine myself ran 1 full round without stopping. Each lap is 800m and there's interval resting of 5min plus, total laps will be 3 which add up to be 2.4km. Yusman and me cannot imagine we really ran! This is so unlike us since last RT session.

We been told that IPT session 8 will be our IPPT. People who did min of 8 session will entitled to go for IPPT. If not, you be taking the IPPT alone for the next lesson. After 8th session, we need to go through another 2 more training before IPT really ends. That's for people who failed their IPPT. At least we managed to skip RT next year. Great! If I skip 2 lesson, and my 8th lesson is on the last day of IPT. Does that meant I did 8 lesson instead of 10? That's the loophole tho. Anyway, IPT is way too RT for us. Boring.

Now... shall I change my blog skin again? I need time to change the whole coding again. Quite sickening tho, but the new interface on blogger is way too awesome.

This morning, my manage just told me that the 7% GST is payable for car park label! WTF! Why didn't the bloody management stated that initially? Do you buy your food and later then person get your 7% GST? Why can't you waive off due to your negligence? Ban Teck Han management is way too inefficient! This is way too much for you guys to do that? In the bloody PDF file, there's no bloody 7% GST stated at all! This is outrageous! No wonder my manager does not look happy when the guy from management, Benson, was talking to her earlier on. Pissed!!! End up, a total of $80.25 for the label! PRICK SIA!

Going for new blog layout

I just did a new layout for upcoming blogskin and found out that there's some changes on the new interface. I did not know until I gradually found out that the new template only accept XML. Which means that my old blog template is affected if I wanted it to be on new layout.

I find that the new layout is quite interesting as I can add on new gadget onto the blog like feeds, welcome message etc. It is even far more easier to navigate in a way. If I have the time, I will give a try tonight by pushing all the old links to the new templates. I like my old blog paper in the middle, but the new one does not really appeal to me. Should I just live with it or? Unless I find another good skin which is XML friendly, then I will not hesitate to change it.

I love the 2nd blog layout and it is so clean and neat. Look out for it.

I be heading for my IPT real soon and according to the site of NS.SG, 8th lesson will be the IPPT, which fall on next Wednesday. After the IPPT, I am unsure that if there's another IPPT on the final lesson tho. At least today will be the 6th lesson out of 10.

Shoot will resume tomorrow as yesterday there's some misunderstanding among each other. And also, we will be extremely busy for upcoming photography. Stay tune and check us out for next year Jan'09. Massive stuff will showcase from 3-6ixties.

IPT sucks today!

After the Mr nice PTI had finished his ICT for 2 years, the whole IPT sucks big time! How I wish he can implement more circuit training before he go off. Not to say I am damn 'on', but more to the fact that his training method is fun! He know how to train us by using certain training which help to build part of our body muscle group. Subtle method but indeed made us felt so great after the training! Despite the late timing we ended, everyone did not complain at all.

For today, when Yusman and me were walking to the booth counter to in-pro and take our number tag, all IPT personnel had already been called up to start training! So fast? As I thought. Later when the warm up start, everyone begun to grumble! Push-up, crunches then jumping jack. We did not train that for past 4 lessons at all! All of us felt so RT phase 3! WTF. Next, instead of implementing some fun circuit training, we were told to run 6 rounds around the soccer field. Been told from the PTI that the total distance is only 250m so by running 6 isn't that too much for us because it does not cover 2.4km. This is an interval running session which been divided into 2 groups, 1 will start running first while the rest will join in after the group 1 finish, then carry on until the 3rd round for both groups. Each round of the timing will be 1.40min then 1.25min and final 1.15min. All of that, only 2nd , 4th and 5th round, I jogged for more then 1.50min. The rest, I managed to come in 1.40min +/-. Shag is the word! Somemore, that PTI said where got shag... You are young thus you said that! Till you work, married and old... don't bullshit by saying young at heart... can run means can run... cannot means cannot. Do not push me further more or I will whack your ars.

After that training, pull-up. As usual for RT personnel. Do your best, then 2nd set with assistant. Sigh... RTian or IPTian? Grumbling is what I been hearing today. Should we speak to the Encik about this? Mono, bored and way too not motivated at all....

I managed to talk to the Indian guy while he is washing other people's car when I got back. I had to inform him that I be god damn late tomorrow due to studio shoot, so if he have finish the last car and I am still not bad yet, he should go home instead of waiting for me. One day for not washing my car will not cause a big issue so he kept saying thanks to me. I do not want to see him so tired after waiting for me till midnight. I am hoping by 10pm, we can finish the whole shoot. Finger cross and it is a must for all of us! I dare not promise anything, but at least everyone must plan properly and not to allow timing been waste unknowningly. I be god damn steam on Wednesday then.

IPT training is great!

IPT training is getting more and more interesting despite the toughest we go through now. It is totally different from what we had for RT. RT consist of mass PT and running, while for IPT is more into building our stamina and push to certain limit. The guy who helped out for such training is NSman who just came in last Monday as us for his first ICT. Young and energetic guy, who is quite funny but he seem like he is in fitness field outside, or maybe some sort of sale job. His talking is great and that goes as well as proper training.

Circuit training is what we had for this week. It is to boast up cardio. Each exercise duration is pretty short but maximum of effort had been put in. I do not know how to explain but it does feel great. Comparing to RT, IPT is way fun!

Yesterday while doing the training, downpour with strong gust of cold wind in the MPH, Multi Purpose Hall. It was so cooling that I do not even mind running outside under the rain!

I was so freaking hungry yesterday until I really gave up doing exercise.. oh man.. I wondering.. am I pregnant??? WHAT THE HELL!!!!

Talk about that, I was rushing home yesterday to change up to go to Maju camp when it was raining cats and dogs. Along SLE, the cars were moving quite slow due to road slippery. I was about to exit to Mandai when I saw one of the car swerved to the left and I scolded in car that the driver crazy! But I was wrong, there's a big hole on the road! My car just go ahead with 2 loud thumping sound! I was worried that it might hurt the axle or rather tires puncture. Luckily it did not happened at all but I dare not to drive too fast since road is slippery.

When I was on KJE, keeping my car at the extreme left lane, there's a big truck beside me on the right after overtaking to be on par with it. Suddenly I saw the truck signal to the left and was attempting to get way near to me! We were like just 1m apart side by side! I bet the truck driver did not saw my car due to the rain made every driver drop their visual by 10-20% on mirror. I speed up and try to avoid the truck lest there's accident caused.

I went home, changed and head up to Pending LRT to fetch Yusman, who was waiting for me at the station. Before making a right turn at traffic light, I dash over puddle of water on the road near the kerb, I felt some unbalance moment. Wondering is it due to road that isn't straight or almost skidded. I felt my steering wheel moved by a little. Phew... what a close shave on road.

Tonight, I gotta send my mom to my big aunt house as she gonna stay there over night due to her holiday trip to Genting tomorrow morning. Most of them traveling up to Genting, KL as families except for my mom and 2nd aunt, who will be alone. Luckily for that, as they got partner and they will not feel so bored throughout the trip. I am glad that my mom traveling out of Singapore and hope she will have fun at Genting.

Next Saturday, there will be eating session at my small aunt house, just beside Parkway Parade. He cater his own people for cooking the meals and was told by my mom that if I can take some photos for my cousin and his wife. I felt so reluctant to do it because I no longer really want to do that. I felt so tiring doing all these wedding and it might turn out to be for good deed photographing session. I do it because for my aunt, not her kids. Yes, I got 2 more wedding assignment to do but these will be the final one I am going to do it for this year. Other then that, I am sorry and no way. Anyway, congrats to my cousin who will be getting marry next Wednesday, I reckon.

Did some calculation yesterday and found out that I had over spent on my expenses! Things like tripod, car servicing and computer books! It end up after paying my entire DBS bill, I had outstanding of $900 to pay off! OMG... Luckily we had some saving if not... that's it for me. I better learn how to control tho. My petrol alone already hit me $300! Sigh. I am hoping that 2 more installment ending will make my life easier.

2nd IPT session

Due to Yusman having operation for his 7 wisdom tooth had no idea that there's so many for his tho..., he is warded thus not able to make it for IPT yesterday with me. I told Leonard about it and I guessed that I need to read through the IPT information from NS.SG. According to Leonard, as he browse over the net, there will be min of 8 session that we have to attend despite having 10 session. In a way, does that means we can skip 1-2 session? Weird huh.

I thought that Yusman can go for next week session with me on Monday and Wednesday, but he might have to join Leonard for one more session on Tuesday for makeup. As told again, max 2 training in a week. That really confuse me.

It is quite neutral for me to be alone yesterday since I just drove all the way from office to Maju Camp. Same thing while heading home. *laugh*

Training isn't that tough for Maju IPT and I assure you that! Initially before we start, funny that the Phase 2 personnel can go off at 7.40pm! That's the first time I saw Phase 2 can go home so early tho. Phase 1, as usual, got to stay a bit longer tho. For a start, IPTian got to run 1km route around the camp. The usual route that we normally ran during RT session. The PTI shouted that we are IPT personnel and not here for RT, so we MUST run and try not to fall back too far.

Most of people in IPT can RUN! OMFG. I am one of the last few of course, but I did finish the jog tho. After 1 round of jogging and the so-called orientation, we get to rest for 5min before we enter the Gym. One of the PTI said that we will not train like the people out there, pointing to the parade square where the Phase 1 RTian were doing exercise, but we will be more in depth of gym training and using the fitness gym station to train the strength and power.

After the introduction of individual training station, we did some of the station OTOT for about 10min odd. I did only a few and began to rest around. Most relax session I ever come to. LOL

I thought that we be train like recruit, group by group to do all the training and one assistant to help out. Then change group to take over. End up, the PTIs gather one corner doing some chit chatting while 1 to 2 walk around to guide some of us.

By 8.30pm, we out-pro. Wooo!!!

Now I am having some aching arm tho, but my lower back feel hurt tho. Sigh.

This morning weather is so good... thought of not coming to work but end up pulling myself. Hee....

Another meeting today after work, had not really been resting since the start of the project. Good to be busy as I really forsee bright future ahead of us. Let's all work hard tho. I be passing the photos to Kelvin later on for selection which got to be publish on FL.ag magazine.
