TAF -- Track And Field

2006-01-31T15:05:00.000+08:00

hmmmm. that's a point but not quite.
its true that fatty foods have more calories, 1g of fat = 9 calories, which 1g of protein and 1g of carb = 4 calories. however your body, however smart a machine it is, calculates calorie intake on a daily cycle, and therefore it means that only your total calorie intake a day is important. total calories needed for maintenance can be approximated(take note!) by taking your weight in pounds (1 kg = 2.2 pounds) and multiplying it by 15. so for me it'll be around 2600. *gasp* you know my weight now! honestly i don't care =)) and neither will you, because if i'm not wrong, none of you knows how to count calories =D

I'll be honest, it matters a lot to me how my body looks in the mirror. one of the biggest factors for me to bb.. last year was really inconsistent, what with midyears, prelims, and o's. i think my 2.4 will be around 13-14 now =( pathetic. this year i have chance to plan my workout regimes but what with the school changes and all... can't plan properly. when i gym, the next 2-3 days i will ache like siao.. but then i realised during holidays its due to tendon weakness.. my muscle can take the stress but not the tendon.. thats why i can ache for 4 days at a time. so time for slow tendon strength training!

Goals and Details.
-----------------
81 kg, 175cm.
bf approx~ 25%, ie. 20kg of me is fat! normal %age of a guy would be around 15-19. (but for girls its around 19-25%, cos you all have additional "assets" =D )

2) Tendon strength to increase enough to handle the 'O' level period workout and ache for 48 hours PW max.

hmm thats about it!
milo goddess: i know you want to trade phones but i dun really want to get "it" bigger LOL

I want an exercise bike. 300++. i think i can get it soon.

YAY i want to rant now. from here on i'm not liable for any spelling mistakes or punctuation errors or grammatical oversights.

Track and field.. yay i finally joined it this year.. i have never been in any sports which didn't include hitting something with something else.. pri 1-3 badminton, pri 4-6 tennis, sec 1-4 softball/air rifle..
so i guess this is something different for me..

i joined for the field side, javelin! and maybe shotput! but the coach quit last year so i have no coach at all.. haha they tell me there's a j2 javeliner who's good but doesn't want to join track.. i wonder why =D. BUT i've been training for track/sprints.. its pretty lame actually.. one of the most short trainings i've ever been in.. but there's more.

just the other day we started training and after the warmup the guys all moved off to the gym, the captain, ruth, wasn't happy so she called us all back and told us there was no point having track and field if they don't train together. my rant begins here..

Its good to have team spirit in any cca, whether its individualistic like X-country, or single event swimming, golf, tennis, whatever.. but its simply ridiculous to have a combined training for track and field.

The cca comprises MANY events, short, middle, long distance running, throws like jav, shot and discus, jump like long, high, triple, and polevault. i understand the sr team is more veered towards middle and long d, but even the two SHOULD not train together. for the most simple reason, each of these categories require different muscle types. we're not even accounting the techniques required for the events here.

There are 3 diff muscle types, namely type I, type IIa and type IIb.
Type I is slow-twitch muscle, it can sustain muscle contractions over an extended period of time. the force output of these muscles are minimal, and they mainly make use of oxygen to power them. oxygen requirement = cardiovascular system = only prolonged exercise will improve this muscle type, discounting stuff like interval training.
For convenience's sake we can lump together the type II fibers. they are fast-twitch muscles, meanings they produce a large force output within a short time, eg. any sprints below 30seconds at 80-100% effort. they rely heavily on glycolytic energy system, which basically means you use up the stored energy in the muscle.

Long d events obviously require full type I muscle fibers, which should be concentrated on by long d runners. At the tender age of 17-18 we cannot possibly be expected to have all-round fitness that the bloody society inappropriately requires. with the little time we have for training/recovery, we should spend as much time as possible on the fibers we need right? so why are the long d runners still running 5km fast 5km slow? isn't that way too little to be considered "training"? sorry to be slightly elitist, but standards are low..... my yj classmate has to clock 70km a week, and that's only if he doesn't want to go and do more. its like "lets just do homework and be done with it", and not "lets finish our homework, prepare for next lesson, and revise the last!"

on to my original point of combined training, the sprinters should not be training with the long d runners at all.. explosive strength or the force that can only be produced by type II muscle fibers can only be trained with quick work, for example a modified/more intense fartlek, plyometrics, and explosive gym work. huiman(sp?) told me "i know very few sprinters who do well in 2.4".. WELL? ITS NOT A COINCIDENCE YOU KNOW? haha...

then no throws coach. =((
i told ruth i'm a thrower.. i have no need for distance work.. she told me "you still have to be fit right?" no!! i might take 12-13 for my 2.4 but i can squat with 90kgs on my back! same muscles used but different force required.. so trainings will be radically different.. definition of "fitness" is too loose and vague among people...

final note.. when mr ting talked about vO2 max test being the ultimate test of fitness, it is only the test for aerobic fitness. vO2 max means the amount of oxygen you can pump in your blood stream at maximal effort.. olympic weightlifters might have a very low vO2 max but are they muscularly unfit? no way..

i think i'm very boring. zzzzzzzzz. HAPPY CNY!

suffer now enjoy later

2006-01-30T18:21:00.000+08:00

Hello! long time since i wrote anything.. people have been bugging me to write though. Get a life people =) haha just kidding..

HAPPY CNY! hope you had lots of ang paos.. cos i certainly didn't =\ relatives are all scattered in malaysia, canada, australia, didn't bother flying over hehe..

a thread caught my eye when i was browsing bb.com (um for those strange new visitors like a certain milo goddess and a hip grandmother, i was in bodybuilding last year for fun) and here it is..
"Why did you start lifting?", browsed through the replies and realised some of their goals were like mine.. "wanted to get bigger".. "didn't want to be a fat ass anymore".. hmm for those who've known me for a long time, you know my weight has been like a sin graph.. =p i was underweight in pri 1-3, after which i was hospitalised for whatever reason, and after that my appetite grew like a monster and i ate like one, end result: chan leong in taf club yay!!!! ok well taf club was fun but way too easy lol. been in sports since before primary school and still am, so i guess i'm not like the average fat ass.
1) i want to lose fat for both health and aesthetic reasons
2) i want to develop my already present explosive strength
3) i wouldn't mind looking a little buff on the way there

lalala before i leave for dinner, for you maaaaaaaaaad misled misinformed and GULLIBLE girls out there.. you don't get fat from eating fatty food. its the calories that count. ok byebye i'll be back later to rant about track and field =p

JC/PAE

2005-12-13T21:29:00.000+08:00

Today i had a conversation with my mother about the JC results/posting for PAE on the 16th. Inevitably and typically of my mother, the subject veered to, what was to her "ridiculous", the public posting of names of accepted students in the JCs.
"Wah what if you don't want someone else to see your name there?"
Does it matter? We are going to find out in 15 days anyway.
Lo and behold, topic suddenly changes to the posting of exam results.
"In my uni our names and detailed scores were posted for all to see. If you did badly, its embarassing you know. "
No I don't know. Will this affect me? Not really. If i did badly, do i deserve it? Yes.
"What is there to be shameful of?" ?? huh ??
As surely as changing underwear(i hope), the topic moved onto my attitude.
"Maybe that's a good and bad thing. It might be good for you emotionally if you are not affected by such things, but you also might not do well simply because you don't compare yourself with others."
Well ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the terms, PASSION and COMPETITION.
Peer pressure? What's that?
Don't misunderstand, I am not doubting the effect of "Iron sharpening Irons" (hehehehehe). I'm just saying, to truly do the best of your ability, passion is the most important to me. It encompasses your priorities, your state of mind, your attitude.

Being hypocritical i will now bring your attentiuon to the interesting entity of..... "other people".
I have had all manner of friends, personally coming from a PAP kindergarten(note the spelling, nubs!) going on to a neighbourhood pri sch, then to a school with two cultures(pri sch being english based and secondary section being chinese based), then befriending my elder brother's classmates from a good school with all sorts of mixed backgrounds, and finally my own secondary school(no i'm not telling =D) which has a real weird mix of students.

I've encountered many who let "other people" matter too much. I know a girl who unsuccessfully commited suicide. I know a guy who feels ashamed of his extra retained year in secondary school. I know people who choose their churches by the peopl who go there(works many ways). Like a certain major church we know.

I've no right to say they are wrong, many factors come into play and I'd be lying to say i know all of them. But i wish more was put into the development of character, EQ, life skills.

Suffice to say, i am not going to kill myself because some tool does not like me, some tool looks down on me. I have more to live for than "other people". Don't misunderstand again, I live for the people i care about, for they are not "other people".

Response

2005-12-08T17:41:00.000+08:00

In response to blucat:
like i said before, secondary gep is near non-existent.

To make it simple for you to understand, we learn stuff thats sometimes 1-2 years ahead, like in sec 4 geps would learn slightly higher stuff like pauli exclusion principle. hehehe sorry ah, but a pure science is just a "basic" for the gep programme. But like i said, it isn't the case nowadays. not as hardcore as primary gep. but the "hardcore" in our general context wasn't very hard, but in primary school context it is a PWNAGE level.

don't know about you guys but we learnt lots of shortcuts, one of them being the gauss theorem, in primary 5. some of you might have been taught this too, but only some schools will add this.

i think the programme just did what it said; give us a deeper view of what is happening. we might not have understood everything at the time, but the exposure to new AND repeated material led us to just walk all over the standards of the PSLE.

of course, we know PSLE and O level is generally muggable, so this doesn't say much. So our abilities for some of us lie in the "non-academic" sections. Freedom of expression and 'un-hampered' creativity made us think differently. We're not smarter. In fact i would go so far as to say loads of american kids are smarter than us. Because they weren't always told to:
1) Shut up and listen.
2) Shut up and don't hold discussions in class.
3) Shut up and study.
Their imagination runs wild and things get happening. Unlike over here? we got "creativity campaigns" and "sign up your child for creativity class! ages 3-10!" and other bullshit. Did you know that the syllabus for maths for primary schools has now changed so much such that they teach things like mental sums?

Not that i am saying teaching kids how to do "shortcuts" like mental sums is a bad idea, but in essence they're hampering your thoughts once again! nearly ALL of us discovered how to do mental sums as a result of drilling and constant practice. now they have strictly regimented ways of doing mentals sums. like specific number bonding, e.g. 786 + 982. they tell you to make 982 into 1k cos its easier. so it becomes 1000+768. like wtf? we learnt this through experience! its the only way it sticks!

the conventional method was : 1) Experiment and learn the hard way.
2) Practice and it'll stick.
the new method: 1) We teach you exactly how to do it.
2) Practice only these ways.

Does anyone know what i'm talking about? RAAARRR.

http://dailytelegraph.news.com.au/story/0,20281,17382837-5001021,00.html
Daily Telegraph writes on Australian Trade Union threatening a trade embargo if Singapore does not spare Nguyen Tuoung Van, drug trafficker.

I think this is a freaking ridiculous action to take. All this boils down to one thing: Ignorance of the law does not make you innocent.

Singapore Gov: If they spare him, it would be really difficult for Singapore to continue their firm stand on drug trafficking, but Singapore will be recognised as sparing him on compassionate grounds, showing mercy, blah blah, a gentler more welcoming impression. If they execute him.. Singapore can safely keep the stand on drug traffickers, and everyone will think "woah Singapore's a small red dot, but don't mess with them. You can't blame them." It'll be the best and most effective deterrent to drug lords all around. Hmm sucks to be in politics.

On another note, i think capital punishment is dumb. Like my father said, life is too short for humans, we shouldn't exercise the power to take a life. It does not achieve anything. Life imprisonment.. now thats something i agree with. At least something can be done in that person's life. Maybe not atonement, but something. There is always a chance to be redeemed, there is always a chance to do good deeds when you're still alive. Everyone makes mistakes. We never find out some of the true reasons why people do the things they do.. I believe its always nurture not nature. The system and your environment makes you what you are. And going off-topic, i apologise again to Michelle Qiu for not understanding fully what made you say those things. But i think those views will correct themselves... once you finish secondary school. I assure you. But since i can't convince you now.. hehe.

Buddha(Siddhartha Gautama) once said: "Do not strive to do great deeds. Strive to be free of blame."

The gist of Christianity is the clearest example of what i mean about having a chance to do something good, whether or not it saves/redeems you from sin you have commited. Jesus died on the cross for all, he did it willingly to save the people who believed AND those who did NOT believe in him. That is what is worth dying for. Its a bit ironic to sin(killing someone) to show the sinners what will happen to them if they don't stop sinning(crime), don't you think?

I am a freethinker, i am just lucky enough to come across info of the major religions, so don't come flame me about this stuff. BTW, Buddhism is not a religion. Buddhism is a way of life. Buddha is not a god, he is an indian man with uber calm and revolutionary belief. Taoism, is a religion.

I don't know why i am jumping topics here but what the hell. =

Hellooooooooo

2005-11-27T00:10:00.000+08:00

Hi, first of all would like to say a few things.

I didn't make the GEP infamous with my post. Michelle Qiu didn't make the GEP infamous with her letter. The infamy has been around since the program began. Ok since SOMEHOW no matter how i put it, you people just don't get what i am trying to say, i will spell it out for you.

Michelle Qiu should speak for herself and don't use "We". I speak for myself, i use a blog.
Throughout your blog, you used "we", and then you used YOUR experiences for verification of the "we".
Note: "We" do not share your sentiments. Do your research. I don't fire blanks.

As a personal note to Liz and friends: You do not have to apologise. I did not take offence because this matter simply does not involve you. I am clearly attacking her for her comments. Your defence of your friend is fine, but either way it changes nothing, except really just display how you people really are like. I did nothing. Seriously. The nature of your "spam" is enough to kill yourselves without my help. So i should apologise for getting you into all of this. I should have deleted the comments, but then again don't blame me when i say you WILL accuse me of being a coward for deleting the comments.

Another note to crosshair: This is a GEP thing. If you choose to interfere, please handle the responses yourself.

Now, if you will all please take off from here, i shall resume my "normal" posting of a fat bastard trying to lose weight. I'd love it if all the readers continue reading my blog. I have more important things to say =D

Woo! Since i have some sort of readers now, I shall abuse this fact and get you all to read something.

Xando, Xtrim, I-zap, is fugging bullshit. Xando is a diuretic+carb blocker. Fann Wong is a celebrity and obviously will not easily show signs of exhaustion from the effects of a carb blocker. For the uninformed, a diuretic is something that makes you lose water, like alcohol and coffee. Furthermore, Fann Wong started out thin and lost 2kg. Like WOW. Thats like, NOTHING. The 2kg is a loss of water weight. Period. I declare it. Anyone who disagrees with me, go ask the Xando spokespeople, and watch them carefully evade your questions. Xtrim should be similar.

I-zap is another clear example. Fat does not go away by MASSAGE. Fiona Xie had a body to die for before she started using it. Enough said. I'm willing to bet that many of you do not even know why fat usually deposits around your abdominal area. It is not really a question of natural human fat distribution. It is because it is the most convenient place for your organs to spew out excess.

As for Irene Ang's slimming center, lets just say its not good to screw around with your adrenaline levels.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Battle of the Hypocrites!

2005-11-25T23:54:00.000+08:00

Hello.

Since this is turning into a forum of sorts, i'll just keep writing.

Since we're calling each other hypocrites here, i'll just list the facts like a nitpicky little bitch.

1) Liz wrote nearly ALL her comments with anger, and in protection of her friend.
One point for her, she was doing something right.

2) I wrote my first post in anger, but i stand by what i said in the sense that i disagree completely with her definitions of "maturity" and "mainstream flak". I apologised.
One point for me.

3) None of you apologised, remained stubborn, and Michelle actually ASKED for a fight in her blog.
Minus one point for you.

4) I didn't reply, respond, react, with any flames on me. Does this mean anything to you? Do you even know what a "flame" is?
One point for me.

5) On another note about apologies, its not for you to judge how sincere i am. I'm not talking to you. I apologised to Michelle Qiu for being so rude. "You", as in sufyan.
Minus one point for you.

6) I said in my very first post i enjoyed being immature. Honestly, who doesn't? Deep down inside we are who we are. So everything i am doing, including this post, is for pure fun/anger/whatever.
One point for me.

7) I said i had more experience. If you don't listen to people with experience, then why go to school? Why listen to your teachers? Just read your textbook, you'll do fine! You're GEP after all.
One point for me.

8) "Why would you worry about spelling when you're heated up." Thank you for admitting you are using your oestrogen levels to think, and not your head.
Minus one point for you.

Oh i'm sorry that's all the time we have today. Childish blogger and enjoying it, signing off. Goodnight!

GEP number 2 strikes!

2005-11-25T19:00:00.000+08:00

Hello people.

Liz, since you want to have a "civilised discussion", let's have one. Let's start with me telling you exactly whats the difference between YOUR analysing skill and someone who WAS A GEP for more than HALF THE NUMBER OF YEARS OF YOUR LIFE. So generally this is a gep-to-gep tussle.

Since you want your opinion to matter, it shall.

"She might be enjoying this but for reasons that your kind can never understand....it's because since she knows that whatever fucked-up crap you people make up about her, it's completely not true."
[ Like justimite said, What is "your kind"? Since you don't understand what i wrote, i shall just spell the damn thing out for you. You are arrogant and immature enough to label ALL non-geps as "your kind". Like Michelle Qiu. So don't blame everyone else for labelling you "GEPs" and all the stereotypical properties that come with that name. I was a gep for 7 years. You've been alive 12 years. You make the call. ]

"I think that all we feel about you people who btw, are so bored that you have nothing better to do than criticize a twelve year old girl, is pity. Are your lives so boring that you have nothing better to do?"
[ There is a difference between "clearing our names" and "aggravating the situation". Your dear friend wrote such an aggressively one-sided letter, and unfortunately those kind of letters lie in the latter category. Is your life so boring that you have to respond to "immature older people"? ]

"I admit that her reply tinged of arrogance but I doubt it was intentional. Michelle is just a frank and matter-of-fact kinda person. She doesn't want to beat around the bush and be nice and sweet and supress whatever feelings she has."
[ Tinged? You need to see this on a whole new scale. It was more like an attack of the non-geps than defense of her situation. "You see, GEPers (as we call ourselves) are more mature than most mainstreamers, the result of being in the GEP. " This is no longer "tingeing" of arrogance. Even you, cannot deny that. Furthermore she is already suppressing feelings when she says she "can handle all the shit from "mainstreamers". What she is doing, is a compromise. She -> suppresses feelings towards mainstreamers. "Mainstreamers" -> Continue their shit. Since there is no response, there is not much actual bad consequence that will come of it. She started her "reaction" with her letter. Please get the situation clear. The rest of us former GEPs are the victims. Not the "mainstreamers". ]

"Even if you have a frigging problem with that DOES NOT mean that you have the right to call her a whore or a bitch. You don't even noe her...so what basis do you have for your blantant critism and name-calling other than one freaking lousy reply which she might have writen in a rush when she wasn't hinking? NONE WHATSOEVER...chew on it.."
[ Alright, i apologise for being immensely rude. ]
[ Yes, you are accurate. She gave a "lousy reply" and it was written when she wasn't "thinking". What is this? I'm sorry for being slightly hypocritical, but this is childish behavious. THANK YOU. I REST MY CASE. ]

Woo!

First, thanks for anyone who bothered reading my rant. Being a former gep i just feel quite pissed that a letter of that standard managed to be published. Even though she's right in a sense, the shit we get from the '"mainstreamers" is nothing we can't handle'.. But the way she reacts to it shows she can't handle it. Remember she switched schools cos she thought others were immature?

Btw for Mr/Ms Anonymous out there.... I already said i enjoyed being immature, although there's different consequences to our immaturity if you've yet to realise?

Just for a quick illustration... she stereotyped non-geps, one and all, as "mainstreamers", and then she'd scold them for immaturely stereotyping GEPs as snobs. Irony, yes?

As for the social etiquette suggestion... i think it'd give the complete reverse effect. You tell them to be normal sociable beings, they won't listen to you, they'll even be rebelliously anti-social in the class just for the fun of it. Just like a sex education class, it doesn't work.

Woot, agree fully "juz a gal". Having a "junior" like this is pretty normal, many geps are really pompous, but the problem with this one is... i think she won't learn the easy way. Furthermore she's a girl, no NS to knock the fucking pride out her guts. I think i'm weird, but i think NS is a fine machine to straighten out people like this.

Everyone is thick-skulled to a certain extent. We all have principles (or do we? hehehe), and more often than not we think we're right, thats why we blog right? The fact that she can't see simple things like this.. speaks for itself.

Cocksure attitudes.... hehe. common everywhere.. not just among geps. For the most solid example, look for some badass GEP debaters. (Note: I'm not saying all gep debaters are like this.. some. Some. )

Hmm maybe i'm lucky to grow up around neighbourhood schools and friends, so i can put SOME things into perspective. I disagree that GEPs need to be more mature. No matter what geps do, they'll get the shit. From some of the worse examples of "mainstreamers". Just imagine a "mainstreamer" verbally abusing a gep. Two choices, the gep reacts, or the gep keeps quiet and walks away. If he reacts, he'll be playing right into the bully's hands. If he walks away, he'll be accused of being "dao" an

Finally a disclaimer.. I am not Fatfool from HWZ EDMW.

Sooner or later we grow up and out of this name-calling, shabby shit borne from a "program for betterment of the more capable students" which is supposedly a POSITIVE move in our lives. I'm just telling my point of view cos i have more than twice her experiences in GEP and its a bit obvious that i get more of the whole picture surrounding geps and non-geps than her. I'm telling it like it is.

Ok tell you what, for you to comment better i'll just write a few statements about the reality for GEPs.
Primary section
1. Most of us made it by "tyco"-ing the damn screening test. Shoving us into this "prestigious" program is a choice that 99% of parents would choose. I know you would have done if you'd never heard of GEP before. Choosing us when we didn't know what damn 1/3 of the test was about is a probably a bad move by the MOE.
2. Most of the geps made it because of our parent's upbringing. Our standard of English, AT THAT TIME, was undoubtedly better than the rest, cos we were exposed to more books, more events, more words. Generally the "culture" we went through at home was great for English. These of us, can be separated into two groups. 1) The really hardworking kind who will end up working through to O's. 2) The natural-born kind who just had a knack for studies of the PSLE level.
3. Something like 2/3 of the GEPs were from well-to-do families. Some were proud little shits, right from the day they stepped into the first GEP class. We all thought we were pretty damn smart until we had to face people from that second group in my second point.
4. To all GEPs who graduated from 7 years of GEP: I think you'll agree with me that we were pompous retards right till sec 1. Our natural flair for WANTING to talk kicked in and developed cos the GEP program encourages "expression". We were self-righteous.... but not the way Michelle Qiu put it. We didn't and don't think the "mainstreamers" were immature or any less of a human than us.

Secondary GEP.
1. Secondary GEP system is useless.
2. Secondary GEP system is useless.
3. Secondary GEP system is useless.
4. Sec -- Oh wait. I already said it. For the straight truth to it, once we hit Secondary 4 there was no longer any GEP/non-gep. We were muggers, one and all.

Sorry for the totally disjointed post. I don't know what the heck i was thinking. Goodnight.

Balls to you, Michelle Qiu.

Michelle Qiu, 13 year old gepper strikes!
For those of you reading this you should already know what i'm talking about. For those who don't -- too bad. =D nah i'm joking. this stupid immature piece of shit of a gepper wrote into Today newspaper to complain about a report. This letter is about to increase the public's hatred of all the bloody geps in singapore. I'll comment about stuff in square brackets ---> [ ].

A second look at the gift Nightmare for students, parents Ideal learning and social environment

Monday • November 21, 2005

Letter from Liu Fook Thim

In RESPONSE to the report, "A gifted student? Sorry to hear that" (Nov 19-20) — about the pressures and ostracism faced by students of the Gifted Education Programme (GEP) — one former GEP student writes in to defend the scheme, while a father pours out his anguish for his two daughters.

IT WAS a proud day for me in 2001, when my wife handed me a letter from the Ministry of Education indicating that my eldest daughter had qualified for the GEP.

She had gone through two qualifying rounds of tests and made it to the top 5 per cent of her cohort.
[ Actually GEP is 1% if i'm not wrong. But no difference anyhow. ]

As parents, we were invited for a talk where we were given the VIP treatment and introduced to the GEP programme.

It is a world of small class sizes, specially trained teachers, exclusive facilities, enrichment programmes and an almost guaranteed pathway to the best secondary schools in Singapore.
[ Exclusive facilities is a lie. Outright. ]

We were warned about the heavy schedule, but we felt our child could handle it — and anyway, how could we deprive our daughter of the chance to be in such an exclusive programme?

Thus began our nightmare — a non-standard schedule that necessitated that my wife and I provide transportation to and from school, as she could no longer take the school bus.
[ Umm i think these are just words of an over-protective parent. I, and i know most others, took our own buses and trains home. Gregory Lim, big man of TCHS now and my former classmate, took a 1.5hour long bus ride EVERYDAY back to Simei. By himself. ]

While this was an inconvenience for us, what was more alarming was the fact that my daughter became the busiest person in the family.
[ Personally, I think her family very slack. ]

With long school hours, homework and project work forcing her to sleep at midnight almost daily and leaving her with little or no time for our family.
[ She's an inefficient worker and someone should have helped her out. Instead of parents sitting there and whining NOW a few years later. ]

For a girl of her age, my daughter is very knowledgeable, computer savvy and has been exposed to many more non-academic subjects than students in the express stream.
[ Non-academic is correct. Non-important is also correct. ]
However, in trying to cope with the huge volume of work and the demands on her time, she has become impatient, demanding, argumentative, competitive and lacking in social skills.
[ Its called stress-induced moodiness. Your kid is having a hard time. Its your fault for being an indecisive parent. For goodness' sake she's a kid. ]

We expressed our concerns to the teachers but were told that GEP students are like that.
[ See? Once again, No Action, Talk Only. Talk is cheap, but if they had really cared so much, they would have asked her directly what she felt was wrong. ]

We asked for a reduction in the volume of work, but the answer was that this programme was 20 years old and the approach had been proven effective.
[ What a ridiculous request. Would it be plausible in ANY circumstance to ask the teacher to lighten the workload? ]

Advice from other GEP parents was to withdraw our daughter from the programme, but this was not an option, given the potential psychological impact on our daughter and on us as proud parents.

She could cope — but at a price. And we could not imagine life as parents of a GEP dropout.
[ Bullshit. If you trained your child to be psychologically strong, stuff like "peer pressure" and "name-calling" would be PEANUTS to your child. Your child seems smart enough to be argumentative, why not make her strong-willed in ALL areas? Maybe i'm asking too much of parents here. Hmm. ]

In 2003, it was my youngest daughter's turn to take the GEP qualifying tests. We tried to dissuade her by pointing to her sister's miserable life.

It did not work; she also qualified and is now in the second year of the GEP.

Like her sister, she struggles to cope with the demands of the programme. Fortunately, as parents, we were better able to cope the second time round.

Now, when I meet parents who tell me that their child is in the GEP, I can't help but say to them: "A gifted student? Sorry to hear that."

[ Letter from Michelle Qiu should start here. My bitching also begins here. ]
YOUR report gives the impression that GEP students are mentally unprepared for the curriculum and that students do not like being in the GEP.
[ Yes, we do not like the GEP. Suck it up like a good freak, yea? ]

Having just graduated from the GEP after three years, I beg to differ.
[ The only thing you're begging for is a fight. Oh no, i meant a thrashing. Yours. ]
I may not be the best student in my GEP centre, but I did not find the curriculum pressure-packed, and looking at the fun the students have, I doubt the others did either. Sure, we get our share of homework and projects, but nobody said life was a bed of roses.

The study noted that in Primary 6, we were "stereotyped and subjected to heckling and verbal abuse". Yes, we do get such things from mainstream Pri 6 students, but it's nothing we can't handle.
[ Yea, dumb bitch. The adults realised that, that's why we're still in this fucked up state. ]

You see, GEPers (as we call ourselves) are more mature than most mainstreamers, the result of being in the GEP. The mainstreamers think we are snobbish — when they stereotype us, they are being immature.
[ What a fucking snobbish and immature statement! Self-righteous too! If you think you're so mature you wouldn't be responding to their provocation. Dumb. ]

When we prove ourselves able to handle the "bad press", we grow more mature.
[ Rubbish. How about we put you in the spotlight on Channel 5 news. YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT. ]

Being in a specialised class lets us interact with people like us. I had to keep changing schools every year before I entered the GEP and I didn't have many good friends because I found my classmates to be immature.
[ HAHAHHA thats cos you suck balls and don't know how to adapt to different people's culture. Please la. Just because YOUR EQ is low doesn't mean you have to drag all of us down. ]

But when I entered the GEP, I was impressed with my classmates and now we can't bear to part ways.

Unless someone is transferred out of the GEP, or changes schools, we have the same 52 or so classmates throughout the three years. This forces us to become good friends.
[ Rubbish. Cockshit. Bullcrap. We aren't all good friends. Or are you too self-righteous to notice anything so obvious it nearly smacked you in the face for frustration of such blindness. ]

We were all mainstream students before the GEP. Most of us found it boring in mainstream classes, as we knew most of the curriculum and it was easy to get good grades. But when faced with someone at our own level, we step up our efforts to compete.
[ We didn't find it boring, we found it relatively easy. Don't make yourself sound so genius. "Your own level"? Who defined that level? Your ego. You dumb whore. Your ego. ]

Sure, there are a few who can't cope, but they withdraw in the first or second year. My school saw only two withdrawals out of 52 people. At most, it is only in rare cases that "the club turns into a nightmare", as your report put it.
[ As a fact, i can get someone to testify that they dropped out of gep because of people like you. ]

The GEP broadens our experience. Nobody minds if a girl mingles with a bunch of boys, or if she is interested in DotA, Final Fantasy VII or PS2 games. We accept each other.
[ These things are not something to "mind", these are great circles of social interaction which YOU ARE NOT A PART OF. ]

Would we be able to do that in the mainstream, where everyone follows the trends or the person who is the "coolest", and everybody starts gossiping if anyone talks to someone of the opposite sex?
[ You're a liar if you say you all don't gossip about someone of the opposite sex. Or you're purely narcissistic. Which i don't doubt. Or you're a lesbian. I don't mind if you're a butch, but keep it to yourself. ]

Nobody except us, the GEPers, could know how much fun we have being in the GEP.
[ Agreed. Cos i'm lucky i was in a school that had no one like you. ]

[End]

Hey stupid spoiled brat. Your newest post in your clearly wrongly-titled blog says "I just got a feeling everyone hates me." Hey there! That must be new. You actually got something correct for the first time!

Come on people, judge for yourself. Her blog is "unpersonal diary". There is no such word as "unpersonal". Its "impersonal", you dumb disgrace to the GEP.

If you noticed, we were HAPPY being immature(and still ARE, if i might say so). We ALL were. If you THINK you are so quickly mature that you can't see through the eyes of people your age, fuck the hell off. This planet doesn't need people like you. Your family doesn't need such a disgrace.

The GEP does not need people EXACTLY like you. The people who think they DESERVE to be in GEP. We are not GIFTED. We were just born slightly wittier than a lot of people. Don't let the name fool you. We are no smarter than any "mainstreamer". We fall merely into these two groups:
1) Some students who are infinitely more hardworking.
2) Some students who think DIFFERENT.

We are OFFERED a chance to be in GEP. We will never know how good it is until we've been in it. Like IB now. No one will EVER know how good the american systems are. Cos we did not experience it. Don't blame people for not knowing your experiences. Furthermore, no one cares. The labeling of us as snobbish, uptight, know-it-alls is precisely because of smart alec self-righteous dumbos like yourself. If you notice, how intelligent a person is has hardly any impact on how childish/mature a person is. Look at Einstein. He acted like a fucking kid but he is inspiration for all. Look at John Nash. Crazy inconsiderate bugger. Genius. Oh right, i forgot. Your BROAD EDUCATION didn't let you know about these two? Hmm i wonder what THAT proves.

Maybe, just maybe, you're not as smart as you think. Speak for yourself.
In summary, your attitude is "qian4 da3". In other words, you attract blows like a pile of shit attracts flies.

Goblet of Fire blows.

2005-11-21T01:05:00.000+08:00

I feel like a prissy little bitch now so i need to write about something.

today was generally great except for the storyline of the goblet of fire =(
and i feel guilty about not asking chris to join us for the show. see, sam bought 5 tickets, me included, bong and ant. then sam dumped on me the decision of who the last guy we should ask. naturally i think of the classmates that i'm closer with. so first shivana. he can't make it cos its a sunday and its a bad idea to go out when his father's in the house. then i think, jed. he said earlier he can't make it on a sunday. but i call him anyway and it turns out he can come. all this while at the back of my mind is the fact that i know chris will be at WCG, and the only ones who went wcg were bong sam and ant. but i don't know when he's going. and i know chris is feeling fricking bored and lonely at home without his comp without his net. but i also know he's been sticking to me like glue because of those reasons. but i don't have anything to say to him!! like wtf.

aiya shit la.

ok on to harry potter. Yahoo users rated it a A- and critics gave it a B+. I would've given it an F. For Failure. Fricking fantastic failure.

Let's have a summary of what happened.. *SPOILER*. For those who didn't read the book or didn't watch the show please don't scroll down.

1) Riddle house scene. Harry wakes up from the nightmare-vision in -- wtf? THE BURROW. Hermione the little naggy one comes in and bugs them.
2) Straight on fast forward scene to them walking up a slope and meeting the Diggorys. Portkey journey ended cheesily with everyone sprawled on the ground except for the Diggorys and Arthur floating to the ground kicking their legs like qing-gong masters from chinese movies so old-fashioned they died.
3) Intro the teams for the Quidditch World Cup. WOOHOO Fudge starts the game and KABOOM THE GAME NEVER HAPPENS.
4) Ron cheering in their tent. Arthur comes in and tells him to get out cos trouble is happening.
5) You see a bunch of Ku Klux Klan wannabes with their pointy hats and they're doing what? Throwing flames and torches. Hey what? A whole Ministry from England and no one can stop a bunch of ppl holding torches.
6) Harry gets his ass kicked by ppl running past him.
7) the blah blah scene continues and barty crouch comes and goes.
8) Woo they're already on the Hogwarts Express. Why can't WIZARDS create a train that can run without coal/smoke?
9) Harry does a good job of acting a lovesick fool. Thumbs up.
10) Hey what? The Durmstrang ppl and Beauxbaton ppl are arriving.
11) Everyone's sitting in the great hall. The Beauxbaton girls come prancing in, stopping every few steps to curtsey and freaking let out loose moans. What the hell! Then the pumpkin heads from Durmstrang come in chanting like Shakespearan devil creatures and one of them starts breakdancing. HOHOHO.
12) blah blah blah. Actor for dumbledore sucks. He is supposed to be grand. Not obsessive compulsive.
13) He charges into the champion's room and manhandles Harry, asking him "did you put your name inside?" wtf?
14) BAM! You're into the first task and they somehow skip EVERYONE'S event and starts harry. He gets pwned for a lil while then he gets his firebolt and zooms off, leading the dragon away to the school. You get some Sean-Claude Van Damme fight scenes on top of the school buildings and then the jackshit dragon hits his head on a bridge and falls to his doom. Whoop-dee-doo! Note: Mothers of animals of any kind do not leave their nests unprotected and chase a dumbo fly. Apparently this did not occur to the scriptwriter when he edited the details of the book.
14) Finally the damn show slows down. Yule ball was okay, fit the description of the book.
15) blah they follow the book till harry rescues the two ppl. then he is swamped by some gay octupusses and almost dies, and then he finally remembers he can cast a spell that shoots him out of the water. O-M-G. Why did he not do that from the very beginning.
16) Krum the pumpkin head struts around in a singlet and girls chase him. Woo. they were probably trying to use his head as a mirror.
17) From final task onward, everything became nicer. But there was no impact felt when cedric diggory died. no atmosphere. nothing. he just died.

Woo! Things i don't like.
1) The actor of dumbledore. Dumbledore is supposed to be a big grand man, fearless, wise, patient, unstoppable. But he was FRIGGING WEAK in this show. He shoved Harry, he had trouble getting the attention of people, he was so weak in his first pensieve scene. Wth man. Why did the first dumbledore die... =((

2) The show had no flow. Its just like what Ant said, "Event after event after event." No character development, no atmosphere buildup. Climax wasn't the great either.

3) They uglified emma watson. Who saw the wrinkles on her forehead? Who saw her disgusting drawn eyebrows? Who thinks her character has been turned into a whore?

4) The Beauxbaton girls are just french, they are not stereotypical schoolgirls from a "Madeline" cartoon.

5) They cut like half the story. They should have put in 20 mins more for the 3 hour max to put fun details like the quidditch world cup, the Sphinx scene in the maze at least.

Things i like:
1) Fred and George were great. GREAT. really funny and realistic.
2) Cho Chang is actually not bad, except for the fact that she puts on a fake Scottish(wtf?) accent. But BoA would've attracted an extra 1-2 million viewers of Goblet of Fire.
3) McGonagall, Snape, the twins, Neville Longbottom, Hagrid, Olympe, Voldemort and Lucius Malfoy were the best characters in the show. Harry Potter's starting to get real uninteresting.

I am so bo liao. Please don't flame me for this. =( I don't think i'll reply.

Hols!

2005-11-21T00:59:00.000+08:00

I need somewhere to write this out.

Sometimes i hate all you fucks who at some point in time don't care about how others feel. Those who know me know i care if i can help it. cos you're my fucking friends. if we don't care, who the hell will. its not a matter of whether you need me as a friend or not. its whether you take me as a friend here and now. Things like "i want to talk but not to you so fuck off" is really piss shit to hear from someone. now i know why ignorance is bliss.

feel like a fricking hormonal teenage girl now. fuck

Woo!

Hello. Just want to insult the comprehension skills of some readers.

1) My whole point was that bloggers nowadays are freaking bo liao, taking insignificant details into context.
2) When someone said "'Blogger' is not a name you can get just because you own a blog. It is a reputation you build over months and years and requires a base of fan readers." Wow. What a load of shit. "Blogger" simplified is Web Logger. You log your shit on the web. you get your shit definition how? BECAUSE YOU DEFINED IT. Its just like saying spraying a corpse in Counter-strike is being rude. WHY IS IT RUDE? BECAUSE YOU SAY SO AND YOU CAN'T TAKE BEING PWNED WITH SOME BALLS.
3) Blame TNP for labelling Dawn Yang a "blogger". She is making it big via LOOKS. She is not making it big because she has exceptional blogging skill. SO GET IT CLEAR.

Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger. Pretty big eyed girl. Not blogger.

LOL

2005-11-12T20:36:00.000+08:00

LOL LOL LOL.

Who the heck gives a shit if Dawn Yang had plastic surgery? Who cares if your mother had fat taken out her ass? So what? It makes them happy, it makes them happy it makes them happy! To all who care about this: I'm sorry you can't look attractive even if you had reconstructive surgery. Might be cliche/sweeping statement i'm making here but its obvious you people either have nothing to blog about anymore or are plain jealous.

hehe auggie, i've known her blog for like more than a year now, thanks to our friendly jed chua.

personally i think she's damn pretty and she's one of the few who just take my breath away. i'm a guy. if you dare say she's not chio, because she's unnatural, you're a liar. liar. liar.

Please, no one dare say that she is taking away the ricebowl of Xiaxue. Please. For the uninformed, Xiaxue is renowned only for being a stupid female with immoral values. Whats worse, after she got (in)famous, she took away all her controversial posts. Anyone who has been informed of the blogging world from unreliable and bias sources like TNP and other writers please don't give input on this matter -- we've read her blog since sec 2 and before. Why bug Dawn Yang about her history of plastic surgery? Its her current looks that people are after, after all. However, no one notices Xiaxue because of her looks! What the hell. Seriously.

NEWSFLASH! Xiaxue has actually gone under the knife!

No i'm just joking.
- on a side note, why is that hideous thing still sitting between her shoulders! Oh! Its still her face!
Lookee look! -> http://xialanxue.blogspot.com

Before you comment/criticise/flame me, answer this.

If Xiaxue went under the knife and turned out attractive in terms of looks, what would you have to say?

In the (adapted)words of Perry Cox(scrubs):
"Do you think i'm a good person? (Elliot's reply: To some people.) Fair enough. Even though I denied having plastic surgery, went out with rich and famous friends who i happen to have, and every Friday night i crossdress and go into town and demand that everyone calls me Mrs Haberdasher. (Elliot: No.. you don't do that.) Of course i don't, and even if i did, it wouldn't be relevant to how good a person i am. If i met someone really wonderful and made me feel good about myself, i'd think twice about writing them off."

The irony, you stupid zombies. She had plastic surgery. But you're the shallow ones.

Snooze.

2005-11-05T16:19:00.000+08:00

I just thought of something. What the heck's the "snooze" button for on alarm clocks? Why do you still need to sleep when your brain is active enough to spend nanoseconds weighing the consequences of your extra 5-10 minutes of sleep? isn't an alarm supposed to wake you up? what's the point of delaying an alarm? if you decide that you CAN spare those spare minutes of sleep, why didn't you just set the alarm for later?

hmmmm.

Hello mortals.

at 9 i turned my tv to channel 5 and i saw the ending of "The Biggest Loser"... hmm never watched the first week but from what i heard.. the people are on the right track but they still dunno why they lose weight. everywhere comments like "the first week of the diet and workout i lose liek 20 pounds but this week it dropped drastically to 1-3 pound only!". then the trainers will add in small comments like "after the first week where you lost all that water weight", and NO ONE pays any attention to that. -.-

ok if you've been eating enough calories to maintain your bodyweight, or more calories which would make you gain weight, and you suddenly start a reduced calorie diet with lots of water...... YOU LOSE WATERWEIGHT. this is how products like xando and xtrim trick yo frigging ass off. they give a mainly diuretic effect, like coffee and tee, which means that you lose a lot of water when you eat it. some of these products actually do what they say and block out carbs... BUT GUESS WHAT? carbs don't make you fat. eating carbs doesn't make you fat. eating protein doesn't make you fat. EATING FAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU FAT. eating over the calorie limit does. 6weeks lose 9kg? forget it. 9kg is 19.8pounds, which is 69300 calories. 6 weeks = 42 days. 69300/42 = 1650. you need to reduce 1650 calories a day to lose that much weight. rubbish. woo.

ok back to my original aim of basic bb stuff, cos andre's interested.

There are many muscles in your body. From the head down, there are:
traps(the muscle between your shoulder and your neck)
your shoulder has 3 heads, front, side and back
your traps is linked to your middle back
your chest has upper, middle and lower sections
"wings", or lats, which is under your armpit
your abs is one big muscle, its the fibers at the side of your abs which pull, creating "lines" and "packs"
obliques, which are the abdominal muscles at your sides.
lower back.
quadriceps, or front thigh. a few sections but you don't have to bother.
hamstrings
calf muscle has two big sections, gastrocnemius and soleus. gastrocnemius is the heart shape, you get when your leg is fully straight and you flex your calf. soleus is the fat part you get when your leg is bent and you flex.

for starting off, just do basic compound exercises, i'm gonna list here, and you can find how to do them from http://bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.htm
Arnold Press for shoulders.
Dumbbell press for chest
Bentover rows for upper back
weighted crunches for abs
side raises for side abs or obliques
basic bicep curls, but make sure you learn the correct form
dips for tricep, make sure you learn this too cos you probably will get injured
squats is very important and make sure your form is perfect before even doing any weight. stand straight, feet slightly more than shoulder width apart. straighten your back(your lower back will be slightly arched), and when you first go down, stick out your ass A LOT, face forward, and make sure the barbell on your shoulders moves vertically down and NOWHERE ELSE. practice this with an empty bar standing sideways to a mirror. ask a friend to see if your weight goes straight down in line with your ankles. but be careful, an empty olympic bar is 20kg.

ok thats it from me. the rest please read this completely.... http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=150447

No i am not here to ask "Have you D.O.M.ed yet? no, none of that herbal crap.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
Seeing as how i get into quarrels with my mother over this every single time, i think the rest of the world should be spared the ignorance of this term.

I'll start with quotes since obviously the credibility of a yet-to-be-16 year old student SUCKS BALLS in the opinion of some.

DOMS is thought to be a result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. The amount of tearing (and soreness) depends on how hard and how long you exercise and what type of exercise you do. - http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/injuries/a/doms.htm

Such symptoms are a normal response to unusual exertion and are part of an adaptation process that leads to greater strength once the muscles recover. - http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1999/01_99/muscle.htm

These are from health/sports/med sites, with a target audience of the general public, the "keep healthy gang", with a general goal in mind.

Now for the more solid stuff:

DOMS occurs by the following mechanism: Strenuous exercise leads to structural damage to muscle cells which causes calcium to leak out of the muscle. This causes the activation of enzymes that breaks down cellular proteins in the muscle. These proteins then cause an inflammatory response by the immune system which then leads to edema (water retention at the site of injury) and pain.
...
So if this is acute injury, then why do so many weight lifters strive to get sore? This is because of the theory that the breaking down of muscles results in cellular changes that strengthen and protect muscle fibers. Also, this breaking down leads changes in connective tissue in which intramuscular connective tissue is increased. Simply stated, the end result of DOMS is bigger and stronger muscles.
- http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/david36.htm

Note: D.O.M.S is something to do with muscle structure, and not fatigue, which has to do with chemical changes. If interested please read this : http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/david32.htm

Summary:
Soreness is normal. If you don't feel it, either you're not training hard enough for positive growth in either strength or size, or you're Superman. In other terms its called "aching", for clarification. Maybe you don't want growth, so you don't feel any, or don't feel much, that's perfectly fine if thats what you want.

My mother said "there isn't a single exercise which is supposed to make you ache". Well..... read above. I can't do ANYTHING to change her stubborn mindset. She goes on and on about "don't complain to me next time" "take care of yourself", when i stopped complaining since i grew some balls in sec 2. WHY. i can't even stand up for whatever shit i believe in because why? "You always think you know everything, if i knew less than you you wouldn't even survive until now". Wow... anger, accusation and irrelevance all rolled up in one.

screw this.

hello pigs

2005-10-28T17:18:00.000+08:00

I don't know what to decide and what to do about it so i come online and bitch =) this is what a blog is...... right?

i don't know what jc i wanna go, aj, rj, vj or ac. aj is about 1km from where my butt is lounging right now. at home, for whoever's interested. that's a major reason why i don't wanna go. i'm unlike samuel, for a certain specific reasons called "proximity to someone's house" and "let's go!".
rj is somewhere where i think i can't cope. too.... high-strung? filled with overachievers and someone like me's likely to be dumped in a corner rather than be affected by that shit "iron sharpens iron". i'm a phallic steel rod standing in the middle of nowhere and only I affect myself. that's not.. a good thing.

vj seems extremely fun, exactly where i want to be, but the fact they have an... unpleasant person(don't sue me) for a principal is slightly disturbing. and there are two extremely fun persons i know who tell me its filled with weirdos and the like. and another two similarly fun people telling me its a great big party...
ac's gonna be filled with familiar faces, posers, chiobus, bimbos, and simply girls who will shame the heck out of the name "acs". sounds toooo similar to a description of modern singapore for your comfort? ooooh. but i'd be a liar if i said it wasn't gonna be any fun.

so. as you can see. i don't know waddafish to do.

also on the subject of subject combinations.. i want to study either nutrition or physiology. so i'll either take h1 physics h2 chem, or the other way round, or if i think i can take it, h2 both. i'll make my decision over the next few weeks until the o's are over. then i'll tell you whether to come to me if you want to lose weight by being a lazy, or if you injured your ankle becaused you tripped while wearing sagging trousers.

bye bye.

Rant.

2005-10-27T23:53:00.000+08:00

Yes, rant, and no one's gonna stop me.

Andre i know you sometimes read this pile of junk and please tell all this to coach if you feel like it.

I was just talking to yaozhong, sec 2 junior, in softball. About softball. as we talked... i figured, shit, coach's training methods are just about all wrong. and he's gonna lose every year. not that i wanna help the old man, but his heart's gonna give and no one's gonna know why. i'd tell him myself but i pissed him off cos i don't want to play softball back in ib, mainly cos of his training methods, so its a bit...... ironic.

the man says, "Run your fragging 4km and then go gym. Don't slack, and who owes me money??!"
hokay, for fat shits like me and a certain arthur out there, the 4km is good. each mile, which is roughly 1.6km, eats up 100calories for people of a certain weight, lets say 70-80 kg. so that's 250calories burnt. in lurid sweat, and thousands of puffs of carbon dioxide. when energy output(movement) > energy input(food), you lose weight. of course, the "don't slack" part ensures cardiovascular health, in layman terms it means your heart will become more healthy. Your heart is a muscle. you work the muscle hard. so when it recovers, it pumps more powerfully and you need less pumps to get blood to every last vein.

the calories have got to come from somewhere right? for those firm believers that running more than 20 or 30 or 40 minutes will switch your calorie usage to fat instead of carbs, stamp out that thought. get selective amnesia. chuck it in the bin. replace it. with this. your body uses energy from fat ALL THE TIME. its just that after a certain amount of time(depending on fitness level), your body recognises that its in for slightly long duration work, and what better way than to get energy from the all powerful fat? fat's 9 calories a gram, while carbs and protein is 4. fat is THE SHIT! so your body ups the ratio of fat burnt to carbs burnt for energy! What i go round in circles to say is this -> Your body uses up a lot of energy for that freaking 4km run. no energy for gym.

Onward! You want to build strength for skill/strength based sport like softball. so when you go gym, you drastically overload your muscles. OVERLOAD IS THE KEY. NO OVERLOAD = NO GAIN. If you don't force your muscles to realise that it needs more strength to hold that rusty 15kg dumbbell in the corner of that grimy old gym, you stay thin. shit-stick that popped out from some kid's ice cream that dribbled into the tiles on the floor. Weak, formless, and made up of condensed fat.

Point being; You:
1) use up energy for a damned useless run
2) have no energy for overloading your muscles in the gym
3) end up shooting adrenaline and testosterone into your veins to do the weights. adrenaline's a natural drug, as always, it makes your body feel tired after it stops going into the veins. testosterone. ahh. good old "wow i can do the whole stack of weights wow everyone's looking at me and awe-ing their guts out, while i'm mindlessly tearing my shoulder rotators into bits doing an illegal lat pulldown!". yes. illegal. coach doesn't even teach you how to use the goddamn machines. in fact the only thing i think he teaches right is how to BREATHE. you exhale when you exert in any machine/freeweight, and inhale when you lower the weight.

There. That was it. The beginning. Welcome to the wonderful world of Disney...

then the man says "come lets do physical. i make sure you all die ah.. who wants to buy drinks? who still owes me money??!"
So after all that bullshit running and pointless gym, let's go do some speedwork! oh my mistake, its not called speedwork, its called "physical"... EVERYTHING's a "physical".. sorry. Now is where coach seems to be doing everything perfect, but there still seems to be something wrong...
Coach probably knows what exercise does what, but no one else does. and that's the problem. Lets say i gave you a whole load of random sums to do, but don't tell you what they are. So you just blindly do the sums and hand it back in. A couple of weeks later i tell you you made a million bucks from doing those sums. but what the fuck? you'll never know if i stole a second million which was due to you? thats pretty much what coach is doing.

1) When coach makes you jump over sticks continuously and instantaneously, it seems a pretty stupid idea at the time, but its called plyometrics. "The term is used to describe the method of training which seeks to enhance an individual's "explosive" reaction through rapid and powerful muscular contractions." BB.com definition. Listen boys and girls.. this is what separates professionals and amateurs. Its this little thing called knowledge. and that other thing called application. Which are both somehow unrelated to "jump jump grunt grunt jump jump sigh grunt jump jump oh wow i can jump further than before". Simply put, this method of training, if done as strictly as possible, with full muscular control, promotes explosive power. I may be a fat shit but i can confidently say i jump higher than everyone in the entire softball team apart from jia qing, who's crazy =D. Can coach say the same for anyone else?

2) When coach separates you into teams and makes you compete to run a short distance and back, and then makes you run that distance, back, a further distance, and back, blah so on so forth. By a miracle of chance it can be called interval training, speedwork, fartlek. Apart from the fat burning side-effects that come from this training, your speed increases pretty drastically, especially if you're a teenage/noob athlete. Muscles have 2 types of fibres. Just assume that doing short bursts of high intensity work requires the faster type of fibre. interval training trains this perfectly.
(side note: vO2max, this is what people like marcus lim zhi zhong have a super high value of. vO2max is the amount of oxygen you can pump at maximal effort of exertion. interval training ups your vO2max if you train hard enough. with more oxygen you can basically kick ass at sprint events. Burn the living daylights out of the diamond.)

Back to my original rant. With no proper planning, you can't have a 4km run, a gym session, and a "physical" all in one day, let alone after school hours. Your body just doesn't get all the desired effects by training hard. Without rest and reparation by eating properly, NOTHING will be achieved. This motto for bodybuilders can be applied to nearly all who train in the gym -> "The greatest gains are made out of the gym." Don't be mistaken, this isn't a plea to all non-homosexuals to stay out of gyms and their showers. This means you only grow, whether in size or strength, when you rest and repair your muscles. 3 times a week of overload, speed, endurance training just doesn't work. not even 2 times. Multi-tasking is not an option.

Well....... thats a load off my chest. Goodnight my love.

Yay. goth/suicidal/emo enough for you? healthy ache after fatigue-based workout on tuesday afternoon.
Simple analysis for fatigue.... From head down..
Traps aching slightly, 7.5kgx20x2.
All parts of shoulder are tight, but no ache, 7.5kgx15x3
Left and right bis, very slight ache, 7.5kgx15,12,12
Triceps slight ache, Unweighted bench dipsx12x2
Skipped forearm cos i have prac to do.
DB press, okay ache, 7.5kgx20x3
Abs freaking no ache.. unweighted crunches 20x2.
Obliques okay ache, 7.5kgx20x2
Quads very slight ache, weightless, full contraction 20x3. lactic acid burn sucks.
Left my calves alone cos they were too tight yesterday. left calf is degenerative, cos i flexed the wrong muscle for 2 freaking years. used the extensor a lot, or "shin muscle". Supposed to work gastrocnemius, which is the heart shaped calf muscle, upper most calf muscle. my soleus is huge too, which is disgusting, it means even if i have no fat, my calf is gonna look massive. NOOO. i just want the gastrocnemius to be big. my right calf has a full heart shape, now just to kick the fat =D
suck it samuel. yes i have a calf fetish. shhh.

couldn't diet properly at all during those weeks and my weight is now officially 79 again! yay.

nvm it starts again tomorrow. same plan - running + walking = GG
Decided to up calories by a hundred, easier to count in total. 1600, at a deficit of maybe 500calories. since O's are looming so close, i've decided to study in the mornings, then go for really long walks like ~6-7km, so i can revise shit in my head while walking. i'm so smart right. tsk.... hope my park has some marked distance routes.

Don't drink fruit juices or juice-based products while "dieting". Get your nutrition from calories you chew rather then swallow.
Shoot for 25 to 35 gm of fiber per day.
If you get hungry, eat a few ounces of protein to tide you over until your next meal.
Eat at least two servings of fish per week to get healthy fats.
Spice up your food with red pepper, which boosts metabolism.
Drizzle sugar-free syrup over cooked carrots for a sweet treat.
Drink green tea liberally - it helps burn fat.
Try no to let yourself get bored, stressed out or depressed, if possible. Try yoga, meditation, and herbs such as kava and ginseng for stress. Regular exercise, journaling and supplements such as fish, St. Johns wort and 5-HTP can help alleviate depression.
Outwait your food cravings. They generally last no longer then 10 minutes.
Distract yourself with a nonfood related activity, such as exercising, reading, pursuing a favorite hobby, listening to music, writing letters, surfing the internet (like you are now) or soaking in a hot bath.
Make a list of 25 things to do rather then eat, and keep it handy for times when you feel tempted to eat (when you shouldn't).
Freeze strawberries and other berries. They take longer to eat and provide a candy-like treat.

Great list.

finally an alright day

Self-Titled

2005-09-25T18:13:00.001+08:00

I've been thinking a little, which is surprising, about my life. The other day i woke up late, my mother flared up and she said some things which didn't really help but it woke me up a bit. One of the things she said was "stop wasting everyone's time". However much i hate why she said that at the time, she's right. I mean, to say it the "cool" way, half-assed effort gives half-assed results. So I've started being more serious now..

People who know me know I've been getting into changing my body, blah blah blah. But, my results have been stagnant, beginning at 84kg, losing 4kg during midyears, then losing another 3 before prelims. 77kg. Gained 1+ kg during the 4 week exams. pretty sad.. but nvm.

Since people usually just LOVE listening to what i have to say on nutrition, i'll just type it here so they can refer whenever they want. =
How to lose weight: Take the miracle pills, Xando weight loss pills, Hydroxycut, Hot-Rox and maybe x-trim! Shave inches off your thighs and waist! They really work!
No I'm kidding, thats just bullshit that many clueless teen girls(offence intended) believe.

First you have to understand your body requires a certain caloric requirement each DAY to survive. Something around 2000-2200calories for young people like us. In order to lose weight you need a negative energy balance, which means a caloric deficit of around 500calories at first, to lose weight. 1lb(~0.5kg) of fat, is roughly 3500calories. So if you want to lose 1lb of fat, you have to cut 500calories, for 7 days!

For clarification's sake, if you cut to below a certain amount, like below 1200-1400 calories a day, your body will go into starvation mode, or fat-storage mode. Fat is the most efficient storage of energy, 9calories per gram of fat. So... some fools actually believe "wow! 3kg in 4days!". 3kg of fat = -5250calories a day. which means you actually vomitted out food that you did not eat, amounting to 5250 calories! wow! Its seriously so stupid its preposterous to suggest its actually true. if you say you lost 5kg after kayaking around Singapore, i'll believe you. the water loss will compensate for that amount of weight.

ok i'll continue this tonight after my dinner of SATAY! and i'm still gonna lose weight! muahahhaa.

Raffles Junior College may have a stellar reputation for academic and sporting achievements but the way its students wear the school's uniform is hardly glamorous.

Female students are invariably seen with excessively short skirts far above the knee hanging precariously from their hips, often with shirts tucked out.

Many boys also opt to tuck out their shirts and wear loose trousers so low that they look as if they are going to drop off.

Wearing pants or skirts low is perfectly acceptable in fashion, but a school uniform is not meant to be worn in the same way as casual clothes.

Far from making a fashion statement, all the RJC students have accomplished was to portray an ill-disciplined and sloppy image to the public.

It is disappointing that students of an illustrious institution like Raffles Junior College are permitted to disgrace the school by wearing their uniforms in such an appalling manner.

Just because a student is out of school boundaries does not mean that the school image cannot be affected by the student's dress and actions.

Are there not measures to ensure that a positive image of the school is upheld by its students?

I urge the school authorities to take action.
