7 3/4

Damn sad; I missed my IPPT silver by 1/4 pullups. Literally wtf. Somehow, gravity seemed to act against me just as my chin was about to touch the bar. I hung there for 15 seconds before my strength failed me. Arrrrghhhhhhh. I am poorer by $100. Damnit.

Surprisingly, I ran my 2.4 km comfortably at a very slow pace of 10min 50 seconds. Somehow, everybody else had the same mentality as me; they jogged slower than that timing. Guess that the morning exercises (that I forced myself to do) were of effect after all!

Will not be here for a long time. Shall be spending my time in a hot desert in a deserted part of Australia. Sadly, there will also be no desert rose in the middle of that scorching place. Meanwhile, Ginway should be halfway through the hell of the desert now. =(

Unrelated: After much tweaking on my wireless router (in addition to swearing), I succeeded in hosting a game of DoTA on Battlenet! Yeah! 2 hrs of configuring the damned firewall, router and watnots have not gone to waste.

Looking forward to my 10 1/2 days of leave after Wallaby. NUS applications should be open by then. Shall try again soon.

Eulogy

To the recently departed, from 2000? to 2005:

Dear Cuchi,

You have faithfully served my sister in your lifetime. Even though your life of 5 years may appear short to us mortals, however, it is actually 50 years in rabbit terms. Sadly, I was not present when you breathed your last; I was sweating my eyes out running 4 km. It was with much regret when I received a belated SMS about your demise.

I remembered you from your infant years, from a palm sized bunny to a larger-than-4 feet put together rabbit. My sisters have always treated you as a younger brother/additional member to our humble family. I must admit that it caused much jealously in me, with me entertaining thoughts of rabbit stew. No hard feelings ya?

As always in one corner next to the washing machine, you ate your meals obediently and did your waste properly. We dared not introduce a partner to you, as we knew how frisky and aggressive you could be (even more so than the red-blooded me). Sorry that you died as a virgin, but we could not afford to feed a dozen more hungry mouths. It must have been your biggest regret in your rabbit life.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. You have brought tears in my sister's eyes. Instead of a cage, a void remains. I imagine you must be now in rabbit heaven, enjoying the company of other male and female rabbits that have departed before you, living your life in paradise. My family misses you.

Yours faithfully,
The used to be jealous older brother

Welcome to Armour!

Finally, I managed to haul myself out of my driving course. My new camp is in Sungei Gedong, which is near Choa Chu Kang across Mandai cemetery. With a duffel bag in one hand, I found myself staring at a tank at the gates of the armour camp.

Found myself respite from the stressful driving lesson. Life as a man is so much simpler. Just do what you are told and you will be fine.

Rough idea of what my life entails: Its an 8 to 5 job, just that you stay and work in the same place! Moreover, teabreaks are thrown in as well as additional perks, from 9 to 930 and 3 to 330. Am allowed to return home after 530pm, just that I have to come back like Cinderalla. Hmm...should perhaps make use of this time to take up civilian driving license and other interesting subjects.

Finally received my black beret! Met Ginway in the cookhouse :D. At least one familiar face in this large camp. Sadly, both of us will be going to chiong in Australia in the next month.

Happened that I have 10 1/2 days of leave which I have to clear in the first two weeks of December :D. Which means I would be having a mini-holiday after that ticket to Wallaby....so blessed.

Doctors and Dota

<p>Disclaimer: Its gonna be about DoTa, though the main emphasis isn't about it

As a war veteran in the game of DoTa at battlenet, I have seen all sorts of players---"gay", leavers, vulgar, decent, etc. For the first time in my one year+++ in Lordaeron, I encountered doctors in dota!

It was a fierce 2 v5 battle against them. Time ticked by as I unsuccessfully tried to penetrate their base----it was congested with stasis traps and remote mines. Even though my hero has reached its zenith (terrorblade equipped with burize, skadi, butterfly, threads). But alas, I was no match for the graduates from NUS. Employing their brainpower to the max, they wear us down by attrition, fiercely defending their towers even though I employed my cunning to the max.

It was no help considering that 3 of my teammates abandoned us at the last minute. (charge them with AWOL!) Frustration grew at every passing minute. Though the doctors clearly (and sorely) lack in itembuild or skill, they more than make it up for their sheer determination and superior tactics. They distract my heroes away from my base while sending another of their minions to happily whack our heroless base. (backdoor=technically not allowed)

At last, I was overwhelmed by their traps. My beyond godlike streak has ended due to exhaustion. Overconfidence was the key to my defeat. After taking too many hits, my hero succumbed to the blows of my enemies. I had spent too much money on my previous reincarnations. =(

The doctors roared in triumph. Quickly, they deployed their heroes to my base. Time passed agonisingly slow as I helplessly watched my base getting thrashed. By then, I knew it was too late. The game was over. The doctors congratulated me for being such a worthy opponent, though I can sense a tinge of arrogance in their messages. "SHEER DETERMINATON..HAHA..."..."WE WON"..."DOCTORS USE THEIR BRAINS.HAHA" "SUCK MY @#$#$#% (heavily censored)"-.-'

It was an eye-opener, though I lost in an unconvincing manner. If only I had the cunning of Abin Tan, the "proness" of Zepeng and Mingheng, my team would have levelled their base a long time ago. But I guess fate and luck wasn't on my side that game.

The Last Hope

Out of the course of 48 people, only 2 are left----my friend and I. I have lost count of the days that slipped past during the previous two weeks. As the numbers dwindled, I still clung on to my wavering faith. Failure after failure. After today, I have failed the driving test seven times. Each time after a trainee has failed, he has to make up for driving (200km +50 min). 7 times.

I felt like giving up; but I can't. So many people still believed in me, which is miraculous considering that I long lost hope in myself. I have driven endlessly around Tampines, Pasir Ris, Bedok , etc, in a monster truck at 50 kmh. Of the last 5 today, 3 have been kicked out of course. Only my friend and I have been given this last chance on Monday.
"why do u refuse to die?"..."why not give up?! damn you, just give up"...But I won't---I refuse to, even if I am the last guy taking the damn test..I treat the tests the same way as I would treat other people, refusing to condemn them until they proved to be irredeemable. Whatever the outcome, I must at least walk out of the gates with my head high, knowing that I have already put in my all, even if I know that I may have to taste the bittersweet sting of my tears.

On Monday, all will be over......to be continued.
