mind over body. it is said that we can push ourselves past our physical limit if we're mentally strong. This statement is just so .. ironical. Wait, ironical isn't the word. How about.. FLAWED.
Firstly, if we're able to push ourselves past our physical limit just with a strong mind.. that wouldn't be our physical limit in the first place would it? A limit is a limit. You don't.. surpass the limit, otherwise it isn't a limit. If we can do that, it simply means our own perception of our physical limit is wrong, and we're actually capable of achieving more.
So how about i make this statement: A strong mind helps us REALISE our physical limit.
It's more true isn't it? =)
Next this statement has led to countless of deaths. how many times have we read about cardiac arrest occuring in young individuals doing exercise? They push themselves, thinking 'mind over body, mind over body'. And indeed, their mind takes over their body and they keep going even though the telltale signs of overexertion set in - ending up in sudden heart attack and they die.
Young, healthy, fit individuals.
Indeed, the army helps you to develop a strong mind. Even when you're physically worn out, you have to keep going on, as 50 odd other guys are doing the same thing with you and it'll be.. odd to quit. Sometimes.. you just have no choice. However tired you are, you just keep going. and going.
I had section live firing yesterday.. it took the entire day and night and day. Yup, i reached back to camp at 4am. and they didn't let us sleep as we had to clean weapon and stuff. So i slept 0 hours for the whole of saturday.
came home and slept about 5 hours before my preset alarm woke me up.. and i think my psychic powers are resurfacing, as within 5 seconds after my alarm rang my mom came home with lunch. =)
Still feeling sleepy and tired! but i wanna play more games. ha. so stupid, have to book in super early tonight @ 7pm -_- ah well, just have to keep looking forward. 2 more weeks till i finish this course!! and i pray hard for a slack posting :S
Oh yes, i've had a cough for over a week and lately it's became alot worse. I was coughing nonstop the whole of yesterday. and today. it all seems connected cos i didn't sleep. well yea. it's bad. and i have field camp this week :/
pray for me yea! i wanna be at least relatively healthy for fieldcamp leh. sigh.

Doomsday
Movie Review
__________
So, i just watched the movie 'Doomsday' yesterday.. and.. let me do a quick review here yea.
Doomsday starts off with this deadly virus infecting an entire region in the UK, killing whoever gets contracted with it. Hence the government builds a wall around the entire region and quarantines the residents, leaving them to die.
Many years later, (about 35 years?) this strain of virus suddenly appears again in the outside world. And because of surveillance satellite cameras on the inside of the viral region, the government actually spotted people walking around 3 years ago. Hence, there should be a cure.
Thus a team is formed to enter the region and hunt for the cure. The people inside aren't very receptive to newcomers since they were abandoned by them in the first place....
The movie starts off quite promisingly, with quite intense action scenes and some amount of gore that can make you squirm in your seat. However, everything goes downhill after the 1hour mark or so.. it just suddenly becomes super random and the plot is terrible.
For example, the main characters were running away from the city cannibals and they run run run.. then suddenly the setting changes to this forested area and people in horseback come and capture them to bring them to a castle where the lead fights a gladiator clad in armour and with a spear and mace. (she's unarmed) (and wins)
Then when they escape from the castle they reach this factory in the middle of nowhere and she opens one container which has a beautiful sports car in it. -_- then it's car chase suddenly and right at the end of the car chase after she drives through a bus (-_-) rescue arrives about 10 metres infront.
Lol did i just spoil the whole movie for you? Good! dont watch it. you'll be disappointed as the plot was really bad after the 1 hour mark.
One show you SHOULD watch is Superhero Movie! it's super funny . it's from the creators of Scary Movie, and it spoofs superhero movies (duh). But the funny part is not in the spoofs itself, but in the witty lines and hilarious scenes in classic Scary Movie style.
So yea. i'm done with this movie review blog.. off to try to win more warcraft games after losing 3 yday. :(

400th post
this is my 400th post on blogspot! another milestone attained.
in case you didn't catch on, i'm on labour day holiday after a very screwed up wednesday in camp. so many screwups , almost got confined for one person's extra behaviour.. screwed up.
going back tmr night for section live firing on saturday.. pretty dangerous stuff given a particular blur person in my section. live rounds! if i get shot i DIE straight away. cos it's such close proximity.
