Melancholic Rhetoric

Friday, February 22, 2008

ok so i haven't been updating for quite some time.
And some ppl are getting restless seeing this blog not up to date. well. SOME ppl. ehehehehehe.

Ok. so ITP. yeah yeah. you all wanna know my ITP. what i do. where it is.
well. i'm posted to LifeLine Corporation which is situated at Upper Paya Lebar Road. The company deals with Medical and Healthcare equipment so you can roughly guess what i do. NOT. what i actually do is assemble the control boxes of a new model of automated wheelchairs. You know.. those wheelchairs which are automated and has that joystick to drive it.. ya.. that's what i do.. i assemble the control box.. the box which has the joystick on it..

this ITP is kinda interesting. Instead of the common itp of a normal job. The thing that i do is somehow related to SP. in particular SP CARE. well. it goes like this. A lecturer here in SP by the name of Dr Wang has somehow designed a controller box for automated wheelchair that is cost effective meaning that it requires less cost to make it yet perform on par with automated wheelchairs that are in the market. And me. ME. i have to assemble the first batch of these wheelchairs that will go on market. Every single thing is done by the lecturer. The company is just the middleman. Sort of the ship that sails the explorer. The company provides the equipment. And under the instruction of Dr wang, i assemble the control boxes. After the wheelchairs are ready, the company brings them into the market. so that's about it.

Great supervisor. he makes me hot cups of milo and brings me pineapple tarts. great great guy. my colleagues are great too. friendly bunch of people. Jokers. there is not one day where i don't laugh as they carry out their daily tasks and how they joke around. Great colleagues. and my supervisor who also happens to be the CEO of the company also joins in the jokes. so u can just imagine how nice the environment is here.

The only one thing i hate about this thing is that it's damn bloody far..!!! PAYA LEBAR..!!! Boon lay to paya lebar that's an hour's ride on the train..!! on the morning crowd train and late afternoon train. gaahh..!!

Archery.. Participated in NTU Open and IVP. after one year of absence from competition. i performed much better now. back then, my scores always fell below normal when i compete. but now. my scores are the norm and even to the extent that i beat my personal best. so it is an overall acheivement in all. I also participated in my first ever team event. First team event i ever had and it was against PP1. that's the national team man.. LOL.. Henry, Benson and Wee Peng.. of course kena thrashed.. But it was a great match.. our team score could easily beat those of other matches. but. well. we lost. but i won and lost. i lost a navigator which apparently shot through the board at 8pts and bounced of the hard ground at the back and bounced into another dimension coz i can't find it.. i found every other arrow but not my own. all thats left are torn fletches found at the back of the board. SAD..!! =(

well.. i think that's about it for now.

How..? long enough entry to last till the next..?




never good enough.

First and Foremost.

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone..!!

Training with the female elite team started of well. If only they'd be less playful and be more serious and willing to spend more time. Haiya. wat to do. Girls ba. And the things they talk about in front of me. Girls stuff. *ehem*.

well.. chionged 7am training on tuesday. shooting consistently. but scores still stagnant. not increasing to wat i aim for.

wednesday was no different except for the sweeney todd equivalent of my chin leaking blood and the crazy search for chinyan's missing arrow. it's no where to be found.. and we searched the whole field with 2 metal detectors. TWO detectors and we still can't find it. it's like some kind of spirit of the field took it away. lol. we'll try again on saturday.

Well. my family's gone to malaysia again. all alone for CNY until sunday when they come back. damn boring here.


how i wished things never turned out the way it has.
but then again.
come to think of it.
i have more time for myself.
and i appreciate the little things that life presented me with.


blood on my chiny chin chin.

Now the holidays are here (Ok.. so it's technically NOT a holiday).
Ok.. lemme restart it again..

The few days of wat's deemed as my holidays before my ITP starts is pretty much occupied. Occupied with archery training and more archery training. I have very few days left to train leading up to NTU Open.

And now. I'm pretty much obsessed and possessed by the will to increase my performance and perform with a content average score. I want to win something at NTU if it's possible. Team event is the most likely option for me to get something. I will train hard individually so that my team can make it to the TKOs. I want to shoot and shoot and never stop shooting until NTU Open. I'm gonna be selfish with my own shooting until NTU Open. I just wanna do well for NTU Open. It has been a long time since i competed. And now i'm back and on a bigger stage of competition. Up against national archers and well-known archers. It's all up here in the mind. I have to pysche myself up for this event. I know it doesn't seem convincing enough with wat i write here of my desire to perform but it's different now. I feel it more and it's kinda hard to express it in words.

Over the past few weeks.. Several events have brough back memories of a happier past.. Damn sad lah. it's just so so sad. Can't seem to express this sadness too. It's truly a deep solemn sadness.


The happier past is history.
Now. it's just selfishness with myself.
Giving in was never right when u lose urself in the end.


Obsessed and Possessed..
