Woots! blogging @ 12.39am. Sorry that i didn't blog last week. Was sooo caught up with my projects and all. was quite stressful to be precise. On Wednesday I had my Japanese grammar test. I really really screwed it up. Definitely i can't score high, but i just hope i can pass. Went for trainings as usual on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. This is mainly because of the upcoming demo that is on this coming Thursday. gosh, I'm kind of nervous myself. And YAHOO! My aunt from USA came down! Was sooo happy that she came down!! it's been like 2 years since i last saw her. And she still looks the same. haha. and she still calls me the Mr Bean Kid! because of my funny walks. =]] Also, when i'm feeling stressed, I guess a good game of Bluff will really make me laugh! Especially when i'm playing with my bros. HAHAH! Yesterday, had training at 7pm with my Aikido demo team. HAHA! feels damn weird to train in home clothes, especially the slamming. OUCH! guess we did okay. gonna do another round of training today, but this time it will be in front of the library. I really wish that all of us can do our very best. And you know something, there is this person whom I knew once. The person was once a good friend, but left. but then right when I met that person again, that person isn't feeling happy of my presence. It's like that person has been putting on a mask ever since i knew that person. It was like more of a lie regarding our friendship. Initially I felt bad that this friendship was over, but when I thought of it, there is a bright side to it now. And, I can safely say that everything was like fake from the beginning. Now that really puts my heart at ease. =] I feel so much better now.
This week will be considered kind of stressful for me. had to juggle alot of things, such as my CCA demo and the Hacking competition, as well as my studies too. it feels like i'm back in secondary school. On Wednesday came down to school for a while, to attend CMSK4 lesson. It was kind of important. Then after that had to head off to Novotel Clarke Quay Hotel. It was preparation day, so Daryl and I had to harden (or in layman terms, secure) our servers that we need to protect. After that headed to Plaza Singapura and ate dinner there. On Thursday was the first day of the competition. Met up with Daryl on the MRT and headed for Clarke Quay Hotel again. From there we linked up with Brandon, Nicholas and Mike. Ate breakfast, and then headed for the ballroom where the competition started. At first, our servers were ALL down because they couldn't log into our PCs. HAHA! that's because we changed it. But after that everything went okay.. The 1st day ended at 5pm.. we camped at Mike's house. Now i know how small is an apartment in Temasek Green. HAHAH! =] On the 2nd day, went there again. To continue with the competition. Daryl and I were getting damn bored, because we don't know how to attack. Even with the current database of exploits we have, it's actually quite useless. hahah. so we just sat there, and observed our systems with Log files and sniffers. I couldn't believe that I actually read all that. hahah. Competition ended at 5pm. Daryl and I knew we won't be in the top, but we defended damn well. The winner was announced after the conference, in front of top IT firms such as IDA, DSTA, DSO and so on.. And, Daryl and I got the "Best Defender Team" title. Brandon, Nick and Mike got the Best Attacker Team, AND WON FIRST PRIZE!! WOOTS!! kudos to them. we celebrated by heading to school. and all our lecturers were happy that we won. hahaha.. guess it was all worth it. Then on saturday, went to Pek Kio CC to see the first batch of freshies graded.. Seeing them grade reminds me of two things: 1) Missed those times that I almost fainted during brown grading. 2) My GRADING TO BROWN-GOLD!! aAAAHH heard from Kris that Brown-gold grading is just next month. MY GOODNESS!! that's freaking fast. but yeah. And to the freshies that graded, I'm proud of you guys. But, I expect you guys to at least help those who are going for the next grading. Help one another and move up as a whole family. =] continued training at Pek Kio from there. And unexpectedly, Sensei Harry came down. hahahah. it turned out to be okay lah. quite relaxed. but was dozing off when he starting to do some "lectures" on the techniques. haha.. but he's still one cool sensei. went home after that. Today, went for Sunday training, despite the injuries i got from yesterday's training. it was okay in the end, didn't strain myself. =] well yeah.. that sums up to what happened this week. to tell you the truth, i'm not even in the mood to blog. hahahah =]
First week of term 2 passed. It was kind of relaxed actually. Anyway, for the past few days, i was confined to the TP-IBM lab. For what you may ask? Well i was supposed to set up the following services: - DNS Server (using BIND & TinyDNS) --> if you don't know what this is right, try to imagine right now that when you go into the internet, instead of typing www.yahoo.com, you type the network address instead. HAHA! - Web Server - Repository Server (for database installation usage) Goodness, it took me a long time, ESPECIALLY the damn DNS Servers. I mean like come on man, i know nuts about DNS (apart from the theory part on how it works) but configuration and all that, i'm like totally clueless. that's why i took damn long. Aikido training was okay, just started in a pissed off mood at first when i reached the room (thanks to the bloody servers) but then i just seem to forget about it. and continued with training. after that ate with the gang. hahaha. NOTE TO SELF: buy the "kangaroo brand" Ginger Beer, not the F&N version. =] Today had to attend the Sports Club AGM. Theme was childhood days! hahahaha. i looked like an over-grown kid wearing berms and all. HAHAHAH! damn funny when i looked at myself. ah but what the heck, it's for the fun of it. =]] Then went back home. That's it so far for my life. Now what i have to prepare is the following: - SyScan Competition CTF '09 (1st July to 3rd July) - Aikido Demo (16th July) And about the crush that i posted earlier on, let's just say that now, it's no more. XD ah what the heck. i don't think there'll be any girl who would have a crush or liking on me, AT ALL. i mean like, i'm a geek, a workaholic, and, a joker at times. That is me. So, if any girl who does have a crush on me or whatsoever, think whether you made the right decision to do so. if you thought about it through, and serious about it, approach me and we see what we can do. ;-) l--O--l
Not gonna post about what happened today. Instead, i wanna post the lyrics of a song that i'm hooked on: Wonder by Megan McCauley Midnight workings, weather down the storyline I try to find the truth between all the lies When Bleeding is feeling and feeling ain't real Will I see you when I open my eyes? Will I see you when I open my eyes? When Breathing's a burden we all have to bear And trust is one thing we're taught never to share Somehow you just seem to shine When loving means breaking and saying goodbye (Chorus) And I can't help but wonder what it is you do You help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world And somehow, when I'm with you, I never get burned Caught in a trap of what we're taught to believe When night overcomes day, life's so hard to preceve And the clock keeps on ticking through night-shattered skies Where the stars are all broken, and so are all the ties But the one thing remaining is you When I'm broken and bleeding, you pull me right through And I can't help but wonder what it is you do When you help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world And somehow, when I'm with you there's nothing I'd rather do Than be right there To escape my own life and all my fear And I cant feel Am I really real? Come and wipe all my tears Come and wipe all my tears And I can't help but wonder what it is you do You help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world And somehow, when I'm with you... I can't help but wonder what it is you do You help heal the pain, and the thoughts of the truth You're a question to the universe, a wonder to the world And somehow, when I'm with you, I never get burned
Goodbye to holidays, and hello to school! Sorta.. Anyway, just gonna blog about what happened today and yesterday. Yesterday, went to Pek Kio CC for training. let's just say it's make up for Thursday's training that i missed out due to camp. Met the SP guys and Kris. Like what Wee Ping said, the normal training is just an appetiser. the advanced training is considered the main course. and hell, it was true! hahah. When advanced training, we started off with a technique in rolling, followed by nikkyo slam, sumi-otoshi (corner drop) and two hip-throws. gawd. really man, those techniques kind of injured me badly. and that wasn't over yet. did iriminage, but the kind whereby you see in steven seagal movies. my partner was uncle tham. both of us were going easy as first, but as it progressed, my body felt more and more pain. and i pushed on, making myself even more serious. and uncle tham was actually doing the same thing. and we ended up so-called "killing" each other. until the end. and i have a mark at the neck area. ate at United Square with the peeps and went home. Today went to a wedding at bedok reservoir. hahah. it's been a long time since i attended a wedding, mainly because i went for sunday training most of the time. ate the food there. 2 servings to be precise.
and now, school starts. i wonder how the new term will be like now.
Back from Spec Course Phase 3. and my throat's feeling sore now. hahah. Well, Phase 3 was great! Was assigned to Platoon 4, Echo Company. Worked with Neil and Khalil from West District. Well I must say, they are an exellent group of people to work with. There was setbacks during the camp though. I lost my Crocs bag. What's even worse is that inside it, consists of my MOE Leaving Cert and my Temasek Poly Portfolio (consists of my DHL cert, RHCT cert and so on). Searched high and low for it. but to no avail, it was lost. that made me so damn down for the past 4 days. However, things like firing the GPMG during the IGTS kept my mind away from it. If you guys don't know what in the world is a GPMG, here's a pic.  Yeah, i fired that (the computerised version). Man, it was seriously damn damn damn heavy. HAHA! Should have taken the M203. Somehow among all the Spec Course Phases, the third phase is the one that i'm more interested in. Not just because it doesn't clash with any of my activities, but also, it's because of the cadets in this phase. In phase 3, it is usually those cadets that are like the leftovers. and in the eyes of the cadets, they feel that they are the hopeless bunch. that's when we Cadet Officers come in: to change that perspective. As for my platoon, though they may be not the best Specialists in the NCC organisation, but to me they are. i told them, "Rank is what you get, Respect is what you earn" Above all, respect is the most valued thing. And as for rank, most of them got 3rd Sergeants. but heck, I know they did their very best. I'm proud of them. And to be their APC, it is an honour. In the eyes of leaders, I guess that's one difference between courses and recreational camps. when in camps, it's more of bonding between your camp mates and all. But as for courses, in addition to the bonding, you'll also feel a sense of achievement when they pass out of the course. despite all the shit that you put them through. in the end, it was all worth it. That's only one thing i like about courses. Because I change the lives of people for the better. That's what I like to do. Anyway, when I stepped out of SISPEC on the last day, went to TP to watch the Aikido Training. haha! everybody was suprised and started to salute me as i was in No.4. =] After that went home. I guess that experience in Phase 3, woke me up. my angelic side of me. =)) And you know what, i'm still having a crush. and it's on the same person again. I don't know whether I should make the move or not. Because she's having her own problems. I guess I should wait then.
   Well, those 3 pics are just highlights of the Aikido Camp that was conducted from 11th to 12th June. The camp actually started earlier for the comm. members, on the 10th to be exact. Was known as Day Zero. turned out to be just an outing and bonding session with the seniors. First day of camp, starting turned out to be okay. was running here and there for the stuff. I ended up running errands and all. In the afternoon training started.. Lasted all the way until 7pm. The food was okay. And also, did some stupid mistakes. Second day of camp, before lunch it went okay. but then, that's when everything went wrong. cockups here and there. but in the end it went okay. Attended the damn ceremony with Kris. After that was the debrief. As expected, got shot down by seniors on alot of things. improper planning and all. but it's okay. part and parcel of learning. From this camp, I just knew the strengths and weaknesses of my committee members. I know using the camp as a platform to evaluate them is risky, but it's worth it now. So to my committee members, I know you guys have tried hard. So keep up the good work alright? No matter what the seniors say, i'm still proud of you guys. Humans are bound to make mistakes, but these little mistakes are the ones, that will make us turn, into a better person.
