Finally, my song is UP!

Yes, I've finally managed to upload my song on Youtube and now it's ready for viewing. This is my first completed song with fully written lyrics so I'm quite satisfied with it. It's basically a love song about a guy who writes a song for his fallen love...something like "Sorry seems to be the hardest word". Content wise I mean, my song sounds nothing like it. Anyway, I really put some effort into this one, the whole production is very primitive and amateur, but it was the best I could come up with given my resources. The lyrics are also very simple and might I add, cheesy, so just bear with it haha. Also, the "drums" beat is just recorded with my fingers on a metal tin can. (TOLD YOU it was primitive!) Yea, and in case you don't realise, the initial melody is actually the "piano" riff. (So...

End of Work!

Yo, I'm so tired now after a very long day, so gonna wrap things up quickly.Today was the last day of work, everything went well, lucky my greatest fear (which was initially gonna happen) didn't appear if not everything will chui. Some crazy impromptu incidents happened and made me ponder about the value of me as a friend and esp a love partner, but ultimately gave me some valuable answers and now I definitely know I'm so much more experienced and confident than before. This working experience I would rate just behind my food fair experience and on par with the NTUC learning hub one...in terms of adding credibility and interest into my life."Cheers...

Metallica's Top 10 Songs

Well I had quite a fun day from work! Just came back, and my fingers are raring to go!Let's just update ST61 and my song first. For ST61, no workout today due to time constrains, and I will say I'm definitely cfm plus chop not going to hit 61kg by tml. Instead, I'll be realistically looking for a maintenance of 63kg. Hopefully. One of the freaking reasons why I'm not able to cut is because of THAT DAMN ROTI MUM'S COFFEE BUN WHICH I JUST DISCOVERED!...SHIOKOh my god, not only does it smell heavenly, it tastes superb as well! It's just so crunchy on the outside with the coffee crust and all, and the inside is partially filled with melted golden...

...And the wait is...still on.

Damn it guys, I really wanted to upload my song by today but there are some serious problems. First, to embed songs into blogger, I have to upload the song onto one of the file hosting webs like imeem or lastfm itself. But coming into tt, I found out I can't upload to those either cos' my file type is wrong. (Somehow, even after I converted into the appropriate one) Even If I managed to upload it, the song is not in its entirety as the program tt lets me convert my WAV. file to mp3 only converts 60% for trial version. Sucks, but, really can't help it. Bottom line is, I'm gonna re-record it (AGAIN...) using my phone camera. After tt, upload to youtube or directly to the blog or something. Srsly this is getting on my nerves a bit...anw, I haven't re-recorded it, will be doing it maybe tml cos'...

My Amateur Recce Experience

Yup, will attempt to review Metallica's classic album RTL today (CANCELLED). But that will be later when my day's over. For now, gonna update my "ST 61".Screw it.This was not expected. I GAINED weight on day 3. Training has been going well. But, I guess it was the nutrition. I cheated way too much, I guess. Became complacent! Damn. I thought it would be all smooth sailing but hey, sometimes things just don't go according to plan and you just gotta take it into your stride and climb back up.But srsly, I'm still pissed. I mean, from 62kg to 63kg in a day? That's 1 freaking kilogram gain! Maybe I miscalculated my calories or ate the wrong food...

Every Mood for itself

As you know by now, music is my life. No, It does not play as a big factor or that I love it so much or whatever. It's integral to my emotional well being. It's like a life cord keeping me sane. To me, music IS life. That is why I've always said the two most important things in life (to me) are Food and Music. Food is fuel for the body. Music is food for the soul. Simple enough right?This post would look into the different types of music I listen to, and boy, do I listen to a whole lot of them! Personally, each type of music genre caters to each different emotion that I feel. That is to say, for each mood, there would be a different type of music I would listen to, to accommodate to that particular mood.Before that, I'd like to dispel one fact about me: Metal is NOT the only music I listen...

Final Prep for Army...

This will be my last preparation week before enlistment. Quite motivated after seeing videos on BMT life and other army stuff so I will use that motivation and channel it into my training. Two main targets for this Prep. One, cut to 61kg. Two, be in tip top form for army training. This programme will consist of runs, interval training, strength training basically. I've recently came to the realisation that there are other areas of army training that I've not incorporated into my workouts like strengthening core and back muscles for route march or putting myself in uncomfortable environments and conditions. Having said that, I will not be making up for them as, obviously, I don't have the time. So, I will just let the actual BMT training work on these areas that I've missed out. Anyways, here...

One Small Step For Me, one Giant Leap For My Life

It's very very late now...I feel like I will drop dead any moment (touch wood) cos' I had quite a long day! Today I completed another milestone and freaking owned the 8km run from my house and looping through West Coast Park. Fact is, this 8km is my longest continuous run ever, and definitely a foundation for greater things to come. Managed to complete it at around 60mins, give or take, but truth is I'm just damn satisfied I could finished the whole route. Next step would hopefully to complete my first 10km. Let's just take things one step at a time, shall we?Established one fact from this run. For long distances, I am unable to run with anyone whose pace and stamina are greater than mine. Why? You will get demoralized, Lab. So much so that it may lead to the downfall of your recently acquired...

Rubber Burnin', Leg Bruisin', ASS HURTIN'

Phew, just reached home, had a great bath and now I'm ready for today's post! Went cycling from East Coast Park troo Changi Village today with Jing Kai, which was quite enjoyable and best of all, we managed to complete a total around 32km (To and Back).I just gotta say, Jing Kai today you are damn suay man haha. While we were breezing past the initial few km of the journey, suddenly he lost control of de bike and WHAM got a nasty fall! Lucky you "roll" leh if not confirm worst sia. The result was some freaking abrasions all over his legs and a pissed off Jing Kai. Guys, an angry Jing Kai is not to mess with, trust me, haha. This guy practices...

It wasn't a fluke!!!

Wow, I feel brilliant now, you know why? I stepped out of my comfort zone and completed a 6.3km jog around the Pandan Resevoir loop just now! As you know, I'm currently on my cutting phase so I've been vigorously working out. But this 6km run was not initially on my schedule or plan so I feel pretty damn good to be able to attempt and even complete it. Took me around a good 40mins to complete, which is a pretty average time, and I will be looking forward to improving this timing the next time! Although 6km is not something to brag about to long dist. runners, to me it was quite a challenge and the most important thing is I managed to finish it...

The Misanthropy

You have no idea how pissed off I am now. Until now, the number of people who has read my blog is pathetic. I might sound like a jackass now, but I don't really care. But no, I will not feed your hunger. Instead I bite the pain, like I always have. I will not wallow in self pity. Life is unfair guys.

For everyone, especially teenagers, ALL OF YOUR LIFE PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED OR DEEMED INSIGNIFICANT ONCE YOU HAVE A LOVE PARTNER. ITS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. And no matter how much you disagree, deep down you know, you are just...

Songs of my life: A special look

I'm back, hope everyone's doing well with your life! Guys, there are some things in life that once acquired, stick to you forever! Call them indispensable assets, if you will. Now, one of these would be music! Especially in our globalized world today, music has definitely become part and parcel of one's physical and mental being and just brings out so much more significance in a person's character.To simplify things, let's just say the type of music you listen to in some ways be it big or small influence the type of person you are. Let's look into some genres, say many Americans are very into hip hop and rap music, and what does this kind of music revolve around? Sex. Sex. And more Sex. That is why, the American culture is so open and sex is just part of the norm! Then we have Asians, whereby...

Time to get motivated!

So i had quite a fine day today, hanging out with ch and stuff. But the most important thing I think I acquired today was, not the Havaianas flip flops (which was pretty sweet though), but getting the wake up call that I was getting fat.Yea, I know at 174 cm and 65kg I'm know I'm considered pretty slim relatively but...as they say your greatest opponent is yourself and I tell you, when I saw those pix of me a few months ago with those abs, DAMN, it really did hit home quite hard and ultimately made me realise I had to do something-that is to regain the elusive sexy 6 pack chocolate bar, babey!So whatever I'm gonna post next isn't really gonna perk your interest radar but if you'd like to read, by all means!Event: "ST 63"Dates: 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.Target: To hit 63kg in five days by eating clean...

The Wobbly Bobbly Syndrome

Hi guys, welcome to another addition of Kvlt/Trve blog post Volume 1.0, providing you with the most random stuffs to read about!Let's see, tonight, I shall post about Interval running & how it directly results in Fat Loss. This post was inspired by a friend of mine, and was in conjunction with the Weight loss posts I was trying to complete, so I thought, why not?Again, I will try to the best of my abilities to dispel some common myths about Fat loss.Myth #1: Spot ReductionI've said it before, and I say it again. There is no way to spot reduce! We see people asking all the time, "How to lose belly fat?" or "How to lose my fatty cheeks?" or "How to slim my legs?" and frankly it's becoming really annoying and nonsensical. The fact is, when you do your cardiovascular exercises, you are burning...
