Every year, the "gah-men" never fails to make me stressed as my birthday approaches. Cause they've made every Singaporean male's birthday into a deadline. Notice the irony? "Birth-" and "dead-"?

So every year I'll procrastinate (I admit) till the very last few months (6 weeks) to start training for IPPT... And then, feel stressed over that last decisive chin-up that I'm always short of to pass. So if you see that I seem very far away these days, it's because I'm stressed over this bullshit, and worried of the consequences of failure: you lose your freedom. Looking back at last year's results slip, which isn't very far from this year's, I'm reminded of how close I escape RT. Don't think I want to undergo these stressful periods again, particularly before my birthday.

Perhaps it's time to continue training and pass for 2010's work year... though I'm almost certain that if I do that, it means I'll slack for 2 full years :)
