All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'm
Gonna see you again.....
Haiz...i guess it's a no...
Miss training.Too shagged to come down to Kallang.Aziz will be coming down to tell his NS experiences.My friend and him ended up in the same platoon.Small world.Too bad I can't be there.Don't think i forget you guys ok?It's just that i'm a lil caught up here and i'll be back soon i hope.I really hope so.And i feel damn guilty for not coming down to train.
In the clearing stands a boxer,
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame,
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains…

There are just some things that cannot be expressed in words.But there are also things that, while they can be expressed verbally, cannot truly be understood or appreciated until they have been experienced.A very good example is the sport boxing.Sweet science....or brutal sport?Yes some died from it.
"Why?Why have you got to do this?What are you working towards?"the questions I frequently get from so many people.Many thinks i look at it as a hobby.Some thinks to me, it's a matter between life and death.But i can assure you it's definitely more than that.
Never have i expected to end up in a squared area surrounded by ropes.Almost naked.Face to face with a guy who's so desperate to bring me down and let me have the smell of the canvas.Experiencing extreme fatigue and pain.Blood pumping with adrenaline through a heart filled with pride,confidence and courage.Eyes closing and vision blurred.But i did.I experienced it.The sharp sound of the bell,the environment,the thrill,excitement,danger.....It was something i will never get to do in school.
Yes, i'm no professional.Nothing close to Ali.But i just know that this is the hardest part to fight for.With no sponsor,no support,no starting point.We are fighting not to literally win but just to get back into the boxing scene for Singapore.And this does not even guarantee anything but i still choose to do it.So do some of my friends even though what we're doing is just like a story being told in a fairy tale.
I box because it's something that i love.I fight for the people who's with me.I fight because it's a proof i'm no longer the same old person 3 or 4 years ago.I love the feeling of being able to voluntarily put my heart on the test and that makes me braver.I fully know that what I'm doing now might be in vain.I understand that i could be hurt,humiliated,embarassed but if i do fail it's my own.At least I know i failed while daring greatly proving that my place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.Those who would just be an ordinary person who give in to fate and not inspire other people lives.
But in my mind and heart i just know and believe that even if i "fail" it's scarcely a failure at all.
Sometimes,you just wake up and felt that everything was so right,so perfect,having everything going on smoothly...until...you tripped on the bus steps and fell face first, butt in the air.Right maya?ekekekekeke
Jgn marah yer...gurau saje...
The point is that i woke up to a beautiful day.Only that i've been very sleepy.As usual.Msged Hakeem but that guy has been in the process of hibernation since i don't know when so he did not reply.Please inform me if you have any friend who has an amazing ability to sleep more than 24hrs straight.Cos my best friend,Hakeem can.
Ok forget about him.So i managed to get my helmets done.There goes my $100.Checked out a few workshops to get my bike done.It's gonna cost quite heavily so it'll take sum tym to see it on the road.
Meanwhile things at the shop are getting better at least.So many ppl came in to ask for a job.And amazingly everyone was accepted.What the hell is going on in your mind Abng Zyed?!Haha...I guess he knows that these are the kind who come and goes.Just that being in the kitchen is really like being in an oven.So hot like crazy.Hot enough to make my blood boil.
Time really flies fast.Just when i thought i have enough time to train i realised 4th of april is coming soon.Fights will be in a certain part of Johor.Gotta get back in shape.I'm in the process of losing weight.I'm not vain or whatsoever it's just that i have to drop to 60kg and maintain that weight to be in the lightweight cat.
Personal msgs:
Hakeem-Col aku balik lah babi biler kau bangun nanti!
Jae-If you read this...i see you soon ok...i know i haven't been able to be around or whatsoever but...we'll meet soon insyallah
Maya-watch your steps
Rizal-Sorry for the last minute cancellation.Make it up some tym.Have fun at training.Train the boys.Kick their ass.Be there soon before the 4th hopefully.Then we'll kick some malaysian's ass.Kirim Salam cik dol and sesiapa lah kat sana.Cabut.And...update blog kau lah babi...
Ok that's about it.Will write again when i have the time.Ciao....
For him,
whose years were wasted
with the tears he's tasted...
Have you ever loved someone so much
You'd give an arm for
Not the expression,no
Literally give an arm for
When they know they're your heart
And you know you are their armor
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her
But what happens when karma
Turns right around and bites you
And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you
What happens when you become the main source of her pain
Eminem - When I'm Gone
I know it's hard for you.Being a young father.As young as 20 yrs old.With a one year old baby whom you are losing.Momma taking her away and you trying so hard to keep things together.No education.Odd jobs.Not enough money for milk.You did wrong with her a few years back.Ended up with a baby.But you were man enough to face her parents.To face everybody.And marry her.When we met I could see the suffering in your eyes.Your eyes tell a story of great lost.You must have cried a million times.You must have had nightmares even in the day.The nightmares at night just kills you.All you have is just a picture.It took a toll on your body.Now you're tring to fight back.I could see your baby daughter is your life.The rhythm to your breating.The tattoo on your arm just doesnt reflect the sensitive side of you now.
Don't worry bro.If you think you wanna fight for her,we'll always be by you.And i've got a feeling you are gonna win this time.
Hey guys,i've not been updating, yes i know cos I have been very busy and also lazy.Things are quite ok since my last day at Spize.Everything's starting to look a little better.But it's kinda crazy i will say to work directly next to Spize.So it's like frizz grill vs spize.Ok so bare with me, my english sucks a little now cos i haven't read or speak proper english for quite sum tym.It's usually a mix of hokkien-ah beng style or pure malay.And maybe some weird kelantan language.
Rough draft to starting frizz grill:
1)finding the kitchen equipments so early in the morning till after midnight
2)packing up the food and doing as much preparation as possible
3)Plan the kitchen
4)Plan the menu
5)Getting reliable workers
6)perfecting the recipe for chicken wings
I'm really tired.Lack of sleep.Working hours have been 12hrs or more.It's not even the first month yet but it's good to see many ppl supporting our new,humble western stall.Yes i'm no professional chef or a shatec graduate in culinary skills but i will say the food is quite ok.So much things to do and settle.Had to do the plumbing,the gas,the menu and stuff.I bet jamie oliver would have given up at the sight of our kitchen.And just now the fridge was spoilt.There goes the bolognaise and phool which has just been cooked yesterday.The veges all started to smell.The meat and all.It was disaster and heartbreaking.And also one of our deep fryer got spoilt too.And our freezer door.And our pipe got broken due to violent activity while washing the kebab machine.
I just sat down for 10 mins and thought how am i supposed to get through all this crap.Everyone wasn't really in a good mood just now during operation hours.Kitchen was real messy.Food going out quite late and parents kept complaining that their children had to wake up early tomorrow.
And so directly after midnight there goes the crowd.I was so glad.
Soon we gotta come up with another nice menu.I got a feeling spize is gonna try and bring us down.So yeah that's about it.
Besides that,i haven't been going to training.And im supposed to train for the april match in Johor i think.Don't know how I am supposed to go through this.So much things to do.So many people to meet.So many movies to watch.So many girls to call(haha im making this up).So much things to pay.So little time to settle my motorbike stuff.
Please pray for me.I really don't know how i am supposed to get through till April.Will update again some time.bye.
I talked to few people today.Talked about working overseas and staying overseas.Working and staying are two different things so take note.Their experiences seems interesting especially those who got to work on board a ship.Some went Australia,Brunei,Jeddah and what more which i forgot.But all said staying overseas is just too much fo them.Being away from their families and all...
Working overseas...hmm...might consider that few yrs later...
hey (you know who I'm referring too),
Firstly i want to thank you for everything.Your support,care,memories and especially your sincerity.I understand the current situation that you are in.I know it's hard for you to go but it's also hard for us to see you leave.If you ever had to go I just want you to know that you changed our lives in a way that you'll never understand.
No matter where you'll be,no matter what you do and no matter how long you're gonna take,I'll always support you man.I gave you the most direct responses regarding this decision you were about to make and i hope you'll know what best for yourself.There's the whole world out the for you to explore bro and don't waste it.I'll be there at the end of the road.
It's gonna be hard and tough out there but knowing you, you'll get through it.You are a man i truly respect.Even though you seems retarded sometims but i guess that's your way of being humble.This time i hope you don't only do this for the people you love but most importantly yourself too.
The toughest battle isn't only fought in the ring but also throughout a journey called life.Love you bro.Take care.
