mm. chocolate soft cookies. ok no that's not why it's interesting. btw soft cookies just mean.. it's like 'lou hong' cookies. like you leave your normal cookies open for a long time and it becomes soft. haha. yea. it's that texture. but it's pretty tasty la. with chocolate filling in the middle. won't say it's fantastic or what.
ANYWAY . yea it's interesting cos of the english text below the japanese words.. u cant see them in the above pic cos of the glare . i took another pic:

if you still can't read it, it says:
"A taste that makes sense comes from a production process that makes sense. Please try it"

LOLOL?!? Is that the most random sentence found on a product box ever or what?? hahahah. ok yes the taste makes SO MUCH sense! therefore you must try it! cos it makes sense!
the production process makes sense too ! you put the flour in the oven and bake. it makes sense! alot of sense! therefore the taste makes sense too!

wahaha.

one more week

in the 3 days of field camp that i just had this week, i took about 400++ lives. i took their body in between my fingers and crushed the life out of them. oblirated. however you spell it.

Yea, there were alot of ants. :p the first few days.. about every 20 seconds i felt an ant crawling up my neck or arm or something. then ill just instinctively reach over and squeeze it , roll it up and flick it away. I did it so often that it became... second nature. like.. yawn.

Woo! BSLC is coming to an end. i'm gonna be a CORPORAL soon! Next week is my last week in BSLC (and hopefully in SISPEC. i dont wanna go ASLC) , the only tough thing left is the 28km route march . argh. well ok barring SOC and IPPT and all the PT lessons coming up.

I wanna buy a PSP! bloody hell. everyone around me seems to be playing, especially the commanders in SISPEC. then now i got the urge to play some RPG on PSP. Anyone knows a good deal please let me know! i want the full set, the console and the protectors and mem card. modded of course =X

Oh, just watched Survivor too.. Erik is super poor thing la!! he's like some nice gullible little boy who got totally played by everyone. then the girls all laughing at him somemore when he was voted out. James was freaking funny too. here's a clip from the tribal council:

"I've lost my reign as the dumbest survivor ever"
lololol.

indeed erik, what were you thinking!?!

grandslam

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.
