Getting sick optimistically


Okay people, I think I am getting sick and weak. I think this was because I donated blood on Wednesday. Immediately after the blood donation, I went to do my NAPFA training with Robin.

Just after two and a half rounds around the stadium, I went to the gents to take a pee. OH MY GOD, I fainted in the toilet and by the time I realized, I was on the floor knocking my head against the wall. I stood up immediately and wash my hands, and the people around me are like:"is this guy nuts?” To prevent further misunderstanding, I told them:"Sorry, I just finished donating my blood." Their expressions are like :"Oh, I see. This guy is still normal." Along the way up to the stadium, I almost fainted a few times as I was very giddy and a bit unconscious. I had to rest a few times before reaching the stadium. My immediate answer to Robin was something like:"Hey Robin, I think I am dying. I am officially giddy."

Robin is like my big brother in NAPFA training. Thank god he was there, if it wasn't for him, I fear that no one could be there to do training.
Lesson learnt: Never over estimate yourself and at the same time don't exercise after donating blood.

However after the NAPFA training, I went to eat this special watermelon in Bedok. I was also carrying this big box of Milo with me. I was going to collapse if it isn't for Clement, Roy and Edwin who had helped me carries the box of Milo.

After taking a long journey home on Bus 87, I found strength to lift the Milo home. At home, I bathe, had dinner and collapsed on my bed immediately. It was really a day to remember as I could not imagined what could have happened to me without my brothers.

To my brothers: Thanks.

However, my health has weakened a lot for the past few days. I seriously need to take care of myself as there's still a long way before the term break and there are a lot of projects coming up soon. With this, I am signing off.

Going to a busy life again


Yups, this is Damien here. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have finally completed my proposal for my report writing module. and YES! Both the camps are finally over, Camp Infinite and Camp C. They were both tiring and exhausting camps, couldn't have imagine how I survived through the two camps.

Camp Infinite was more tiring as I helped more and was more concerned about the proceedings of the camp. Camp C, on the other hand was much more relaxing as I enjoyed myself with the food, stayed overnight in sports club room and even played Soul Calibur with David on PS2, it was very surprising that I won David. Life in Camp C is as good as life in chalet with Clement, Edwin and David entertaining me.

I get to know a few more friends through some simple chit-chat sessions. There was this funny part during the camp where we had to go to Ang Mo Kio Central to play this game call the "food chain." Halfway through, this game, "Ferdy" from PALS got into trouble with this gangster who happens to be standing outside the restaurant we were in at Jubilee on level 2.

Never mind how the case got closed, we all end up at NTUC to buy 4 Digits. It was too happening that we felt it would be cool to try out our luck. Yupz, and a bunch of newbies were seen at the Singapore Pools. The funniest part is when we ask the aunty next to us how to buy 4D. That was awefully crap, but fun.

Camp C ended noisily at Pizza hut in Ang Mo Kio. I taught the freshies a few new games and they enjoyed themselves, which gives me a strong sense of satisfaction. And as we can all expected, we create alot of noise for the staff and the surroundings in Pizza Hut. You could see the relieve faces of the staff when we said that we were leaving.

All in all, let's give a pat on our back and say ,"Well done, time to take a break."

Camp Infinite


Disclaimer:
Hi, I am doing this blog while being in Camp Infinite at around 4am in the morning, so pardon my language if it's a little bit alien. Kinda tired down here.

I have learned something unique that it is also important to have enemies. A reason would be that only enemies in this world would tell you the honest truth, they won't hold back on what they are going to say. Only by facing your enemies then would one grow stronger in mentality.

Okay people, enough of enemies. I felt that I am starting to have a very carefree attitude. I have learnt that what I am saying to my peers and juniors would be that is for their own good. I hope that they would accept what I am saying as at the end of the day, I won't lose anything. But then again, never let one's comments and opinions affect your decision. I ain't working, I ain't doing any events, I am just a "damien" walking down this street and trying to put at least some effort into my studies. Thats all. Just a plain old simple damien.

Now to my studies, I am not really having fun at my tutorials as I would stress myself to do the tutorials before hand. Although its good to do tutorials, but I feel that it would be nice if I have some time just slacking and rotting myself at home.

Redoing everything again


Hey' all, this is actually my first post after redoing my blog. This is the first time I felt refresh since my crisis life in 2005. Although it is kind of sad that I am still single, but hey, I am still young.

This picture shown here is a shot of me when I was at the summit of Gunung Tahan. Oh yar, its very cold up there. Just to add on, I realized that no matter how thick your skin is, you will still feel cold up there. This trip made me realized that I am still a selfish bastard, especially during the times when I saw Mr. Guru doing selfless stunts. However, as quoted from Mr. Guru, it is true that this trip wasn't up to expectations as we have people whose fitness level are not up to desirable state and thus acting as a burden to those who are fitter. But then again, if there isn't any burden, there wouldn't be any challenge. Therefore, I enjoyed this trip very much as I met alot of new friends.

Moving on to a new chapter, I have just started my year 3. This time round I hope to work closer with the rest of my classmates. I felt that this is impprtant to me as I can't work with people who aren't even sure of what personality I have. In addition, I hope to achieve better results through hard work because its my last year in this poly.
