Musical Therapy Part 2

Hello, welcome back to musical therapy Part 2.

I hope you like the last musical therapy. This one will be even better featuring songs for different moods and feelings, but I guarantee that the songs will still be FANTASTIC.

To start off, lets start with a happy song. Something to make you jump up and dance!
Warrant - Cherry Pie



This song has such a rock feel to it and yet it still feels abit pop enough to get down jiggy to it.

Feeling sad? Got rejected in love or u just wanna feel Emo?
Here is the song "I wanna know what love is" by Foreigner



For those who are wandering right now, who the fuck is Foreigner, they actually sang another hit song which is very famous.
"I've been waiting for a girl like you, to come into my life!"
Sound familiar?

I have never been religious. Yes, I have said a few prayers, talk to God when I'm scared but I have never been to church or pray everyday or believe in anything to really be considered religious. I still respect the different religions and its good knowledge to know them.
However, whenever I listen to this song, I just feel that life is so beautiful. Everything seems so calm and clear. Really recommend you to take the time to listen to this song patiently.
Jeff Barkley - Hallelujah



Superb right? Too bad he is dead. He drowned in a river when he was at the peak of his career. His voice sounds so ethereal, so saintly, so *insert word*. Fantastic.

All the songs so far are from the 1980's to early 1990's when Rock and Roll was a powerful influence on music. I love Rock and Roll, thats why most of my music are from that genre.
So, to dedicate this post, here is the song, "We built this city" by Starship.
Built this city from what? From Rock and Roll :D



To finish off the post, here is a favourite of every Blackburn fan. According to Tay, this song is played during halftime at every Blackburn home match.
Its Europe with The Final Countdown!



Guess where they are from? Sweden. So America and England is not where all the musical talent comes from. As a bonus and tribute to them, here is a video of them.
Check out the way they play the guitar, the hair, the screaming fans with the lighters, the energy, the atmosphere is just so FANTASTIC!



Seriously, be patient, take the time to listen to all the music, watch the video, and hopefully, you will convert into a true Rock and Roll fan. :)
Enjoy!

Rock N Roll

I Love Rock N Roll.
Jack Black is so cool.

Football crazy and Fitness update

I am football crazy.

In my computer got FM08 and Fifa Manager 08.
In my PSP got Winning Eleven 08 and FM08 Handheld and FM06 Handheld.

I am still the same size after 1 week of burpees. :(
Think my metabolism rate is slowing down.

Ipod Madness

After getting my Ipod touch, I thought of stuff to put in. I wanted to watch shows, movies, listen music etc.

The itunes user interface is user-unfriendly! So difficult to put stuff in and sort it out. Maybe its just me cos I'm a noob.

Anyway, these are the stuff I put it in.

Terminator 2.
Aliens
Alien Resurrection
Fun with Dick and Jane
Spiderman 3
Hard Candy
The Mist
Silence of the Lambs
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
2 Faces of my Girlfriend
My Tutor Friend
House MD Season 1

I'm looking for Terminator and the other Alien series. House MD is also good.

Any other ideas what I can put in? Still haven't put my rock n roll collection in yet.

The ride to Bukit Batok is going to be short now :)

Spendthrift

After 1 month without an Mp3 player, I couldn't take it. My mother wanted to buy a laptop for my younger brother who is in polytechnic. So I asked if she could sponsor me a Mp3 player. At first, I was thinking small, but when my mother said she would sponsor me, I asked for.......
...... an Ipod Touch! It was on sale for $399.

Suddenly, I felt the spendthrift virus gaining a grip on me, and before I realised, I asked if she could buy a memory card for my PSP. My current one is 1gb and that is so small! In the end, I bought a 4gb memory card for $85, sponsored by my mother too :)


I am a spendthrift. Agree/Disagree?

Army Status

Finally after nearly 8 months, I managed to get a downgrade.

I didn't chao geng or do anything funny, I really have an injury.
Yes, its an old injury but it certainly is serious.

I dislocated my right hip severely and suffered a right foot drop after that. I don't have complete strength and mobility of my right leg and it is affecting me as I grow old.

I had to see the Army MO a total of 3 times, before they send me to a proper specialist medical board.
The first 3 times I went to see the Army MO, they look at me and say "You served 2 years of NS as a PES B soldier, so I don't see no reason why you cannot do your reservist as a PES B soldier too."

To me, this reason is just full of shirking responsibilities and ZERO medical ethics.
I volunteered to upgrade myself to PES B, so I can serve the nation better. The Mind says "Persevere", but my Body says "Stop". It came to a point where I might develop Avascular Necrosis.

To the Army MO, his view was: "You have a high chance of developing it, but you haven't develop it, so you cannot downgrade."
Its like saying, you have a high chance of getting lung cancer if you smoke, but you haven't get it, so you can continue smoking.
Shouldn't prevention be better than cure?

Shouldn't they take a more deeper look into my problem, rather than just assuming that I am fit and healthy just because I can run and jump? Yes I can run and jump, but it takes more strength on my right leg and I get sharp pain on my right hip occasionally.

Finally, after continual persuasion that I am experiencing pain when I run and jump, they referred me to a board of doctors who are specialists.
They did some tests on me and I told them, "I have been running with a limp."

They downgraded me immediately.

To them, my problem was deemed so severe that the army should not have upgraded me in the first place.

There was this man in his 40s at the medical board too. He had an accident and a metal pin was inserted in his leg to hold it in place. He was in hospital when his IPPT and reservist was due. He couldn't go because he was still in hospital, and the army charged him. Like me, he had to go through a long process to finally end up at the medical board of specialists where they downgraded him.

It just infuriates me when there are double standards of doing things.

Fitness

My pants are getting tighter, my shirt is getting tighter and I can see an increase in my tummy area.

I'm getting FAT.

I used to think that I have a high metabolism rate. But actually, I have a medium metabolism rate. I managed to stay slim when I was schooling because of an active lifestyle. I had rockclimbing, soccer and PE classes.

Now, I have no exercises, I am starting to see how fat I am getting.
Wanting to lose weight, I went online and search for tips, asked the fitness guru Tay for tips and started to plot out my schedule. So jealous of Tay now. So handsome and got so many girlfriends. So fit and Ippt also no problem.

Every morning when I wake up I'm going to do 3 sets of Burpees with a jump and pushup. Do maximum for 1 minute, rest 1 minute.
After that, I'm going to do 20 crunches, 3 sets with 1 minute resting time.

Not sure it is enough to cut my waistline and become leaner and fitter. Thinking of adding some gym inside.

However, I have a very weak discipline. Just this morning, I only did 2 sets of Burpees and 0 crunches before I managed to convince myself that I should start slowly.
Few weeks before, I arranged to go running with Black Lim once a week, but suddenly it stopped.


*IMPORTANT*
Beg you my friends, please pull me to the gym or do some exercise. I really want to get fit and look good.
