My body is like a convenience shop


Sickness hit me real hard in recent months. Someone who fall sick like half yearly and now it became a monthly affair. Due to the world cup packed matches daily, I continue to follow some important matches apart from working shift. Immune system thwarted to the bottom core as I invite my worst sickness in recent years. Day 1 started with some throat itchiness and I jolly well know it's always the appetiser to the full course meal. After I woke up, I felt like a generator which could not supply any power. I simply go to work and was not being appreciated. I was furious by my boss when I requested to go home early after night shift. May be I could not express myself well during the time of sickness, he claimed that I was attitude.

Day 2 I was feverish and spent most of my time sleeping. I kept on sleeping and I think I spent the whole day staying on my bed. I felt so powerless once again. Day 3, decided to see a doctor and give myself some medical leave, a well deserved one since no one is appreciative towards a sick man who come to work. With that, I excused myself with 3 days of MC. Waited at the clinic for an hour and a half before I was prescribe with 4 types of medicines. I think this is very serious, having slight fever of 38.5, throat inflamed with coughing of thick blood, my taste bud was nowhere to be found as a I barely finish half of my every meal. Weight lost of about 3 kg with a constant diarrhea. Throw up a little after food. My body is like a convenience shop now, all the common sickness can be found in me.

 Getting sick now is like a girl having menses. Anyone like it?

Uncle Hendry

Aging is a life process and the number will kept on increasing to the point it stopped and wave good bye to the good life. I'm not afraid to die but getting older and being labelled as Uncle was something not very smoothing to my ears. I admitted that I got angry at times when people know my actual age and called me Uncle. 

Perhaps they are just pulling my legs and having the fun of it. Deep down of me, I'm still wondering if time really flies when we can't do anything to delay it. This effect of feeling old should have a greater impact on girls as beauty might be once their attraction. Anything which ages should leave traces of weakness and imperfection. It's the mindset of us which depreciate the sucky feeling of oldlyness.

Want to be young and energised? We have to feel young to be one of them.

Today I am the Staff Sergeant of the Singapore Police Force




1) Certificate!



2) Group Photo with Commissioner of Police



3) I love the crest to the max, 2nd June will be the day where I don this Majulah aka crab!




4) My first promotion for 10 years, resilience and perseverance for obtaining my first rank.


As of today, 1st June 2014, I am officially the Staff Sergeant of the Singapore Police Force! I joined the force on 14th June 2004.

I've waited 9 years 11 months and 18 days to attain my first ever rank. Some say it is a tragic but I think it is a blessing in disguise. Bosses take care of me well since I was debarred. But I still continued to work giving my very best, at least the minimum. I deserved that rank, although it came quite late than others. I am so proud myself when I walked up to the stage to accept the promotion certificate. I think there is a lot more work to do and not be big headed. There are so many people out there for me to help. Should continue to work as per normal for whatever rank I was holding. It is the uniform in blue that counts. :)

Signing off, Staff Sergeant!

Changes on my body

Gymm boxx at Bukit Batok civil service club. I love being there because it gave me a lot of breathing space with not much people and infested with tons of equipment. I don't have to queue for my favorite set of gym workout. :)


The workout today is fantastic and oozed out all my energy off the bar, pttff! I'm sleepy right now! 


Making a comparison on my back (the only angle which I felt was the most significant aside from the side and front view of my body). My chest is slowly surpassing my tummy's height at the horizontal manner. My shoulder is becoming boarder and I am more confidence in wearing T-shirt which is slightly tight. This shows the amount of self-confidence I've collected throughout this one month. I know it will only be better if I continue my workout. It's still not enough for me as I hunger for a greater mass with a better outlook. 


                            1st May - 23rd May


Can't wait for the next gym session in two days time. Off to bed now and to let my muscle rest and grow. :)))

IPPT first attempt for FY2014/15

Completed my IPPT this morning and the results were fairly good. As expected my pull up stand at 1. That I considered as a jump to break zero. 

Standing board jump at 207cm (silver @ 212) at the border line and 2.4km timing @12.58min, passed barely by 2 secs! So many near misses today and I ought to feel fortunate. With the rest of the static stations cleared with flying colors, my pull up is my only emery. 4 to pass, 6 for silver. Running should improve to below 12.20. Everything I think is achievable and I hope to see the break through in my weakest link within 3 months time.

Now I'm having a fat hope dream of gaining that $100 rewards from my organisation.  Silver Silver!

My commanding officer went for IPPT too and he got a silver. I was humiliated big time when I revealed my weight. Muscle gain without much strength gain is really nothing in return. Should focus on weight reduction as it really helps. 

6kg to shred, my goodness that's a hell lot of mass to take it off, a challenge which I'm taking it on!
