Hiatus (once again)

it's one of those hiatus that i take once in a while when i feel lazy or just too busy with things. Recently during the span of my hiatus, i've realized a few things:

  • my boss is a workaholic
  • Bangkok Hat is real fun
  • running too much on the other hand though, is not
  • people like to make things awkward for themselves sometimes

i just had a change of boss recently when my old boss left the service. my new boss, cpt susan, after talking to her for the first few days, was being evaluated by me as a very nice, responsible and efficient boss. which was a good thing for me as i didn't like my old boss as much as he doesn't like me. he was like the total opposite of my current boss, which pisses me off to a certain extent.

not that im complaining about work, it actually feels quite good now that i get to get some serious work done then to do some mindless followings under my upper-study. though since she came into office, i've been staying late pretty much everyday for the past 2 weeks. and therefore, i have branded her as a workaholic.. haha

spent the weekend over at Bangkok for a hat tournement and i have to say that it's helluva weekend having fun in the sun with friends, booze and most importantly disc.. haha.. there were roughly 200 people who joined the hat tourney over the weekend and i've even had a team-mate who was from alaska, how cool is that?


waiting for my flight

spent my weekend at a backpackers' hostel called Suk 11 and i must say that i felt right at home the moment i stepped into it. the whole place had a very rustic feeling and it's definately very cosy.

corridor leading to my room



room for SGD15/night.. pretty decent eh?

had to wake up really early at 0730 to head to the fields even though i only slept at 0300 on the previous night cos of a late touchdown, but it was still all good..

at the fields, i was having quite a rough start cos i take a real long time to warm up when i don't get enough sleep and as expected, i was damn frustrated at myself.. it took almost 1 match for me to get into gear and was playing better disc.

we were on a rush as we went 3 matches undefeated, all coming back from behind, that was how strong my team was mentally. unfortunately, in order to do that, means that we have to use up extra strength and it didn't help that 3 players that were originally allocated to us didn't turn up at the hat tourney.

i felt this sharp pain near my hip area towards the end of the 4th game which we lost, but i didn't care about it and it proved costly. after i got back to my room at the end of the day, i could barely lift up my left leg and after looking for the root of the pain, i realized that i pulled my hip flexor.

everything on the 2nd day just went downhill as i wasn't the only one who suffered injuries cos they were running too hard, too much. haha.

i realize that sometimes people have a tendency to make things very awkward for themselves when they try to hard to achieve something. sometimes what they do not realize is that they're making themselves look weird infront of others when they try too hard at doing something. and it just feels damn awkward when you know you're involved although people think that you don't know.. haha.

that's all for now, hope i won't go for a hiatus again =/

Sunday

i think i just murdered my legs today. period. running hard non-stop for around 3 hours isn't the smartest thing to do on a sunday, especially when i had training in the morning. had to play 2 games from the league today cos one of the week was being washed out, playing a double header with only 9 people is quite a challenge (we play 7 aside for typically 90 mins). but i also saw today how pressure can make people step up and play better. but then again, it could easily have gone the other way as well.

now i can't really feel my legs, i haven't felt so tired in a very long while. im currently figuring out a way to climb up my double deck bed so that my leg doesn't cramp. all i can do now is to relax infront my my comp and think of the work i have to do tmr.

there's suddenly been a rush of work coming in for the past week after my upper-study left, i practically had to stay in camp til pretty late to finish up my work, earliest i left was 7 pm..

to a certain extend i was enjoying myself with all this work piling up, at least now im a bit more useful than when my upper-study would finish everything then tell me what he did. i guess im not the kind that can really just sit around and do nothing.. i always need new things and challenges to work on.. tuesday's gonna be a long long day for me. being single pretty much sucks, then i have to go to jurong island for the whole day and at night i have to stay in camp for duty. talk about an interesting way of spending your valentine's day.. haha..

time to think of how i can manage to climb up my bed and get to sleep.....

Weird Dream

was spacing out in the office a while ago before i left for home and i suddenly recalled the weird dream that i had in the morning..

the dream started when i was parking at a shopping center where i was walking around when i bumped into my sis. we had a lunch and went to the carpark to get our vehicles.

then i realized that there were actually 2 guys in my car and they were about to close the door.. decided to sneak up on them as they were trying to hotwire my car.. i went up to the driver seat and threw the guy out of my car and here comes the weird part.

i clearly recalled stomping on the guy's face until i broke his nose and when his accomplice came over, i gave him a shot in god knows where but he fell to the floor too anywhere.. and as mysteriously as how the guy fell onto the ground, a metal rod with a sharp end appeared in my hands..

it would have been better if i would just stabbed and killed them.. but no, i grabbed both their hands and impaled their palms against a pillar..

now how weird is that?? i wonder where all this sadistic thoughts are coming from =/
