So today we were brought to the beach for some navy seal obstacle course...

I can not believe they made us do that. Godamnit. Leopard crawl through sand, mud and water.

At one point you were supposed to leapord crawl under a net which went through a trench of water with a metal bar about 25 cm from the ground, so you have to bloody hell hold your breath and crawl like hell through the water. I couldn't see and ended up ramming my head into the godamn metal bar at first.

Then there were tumble falls. Like... who the hell does a tumble fall. But when you see EVERYONE being able to do it, you just godamn jump, dive, roll and breakfall. Some guys landed FLAT on their backs hahah.

The finale was a 5 METER TALL WALL that we had to clear as a group. Like, I put it in caps, because even with my supreme ninja powers, and I run at full speed, take two steps up the wall, I would not be able to grab the ledge. So we had to hoist each other up.

Luckily our group had this HUGE ass guy... which is like damn huge. Venezuela. And when someone twice your size (two point five times your size in nitek kia's case)clasps his hands and screams "SIN GAH POOH RU JUMP!", you sure as hell are going to jump into his hand.

Aight, rehearsals for talent nite now.

Who would have thought that a few light blows to my chest would have triggered that old injury again. 3 days later and I still can't jog for more than 3 minutes without it acting up, forcing me to stop.

Doh.

Really makes you realize just how stupid it is to do some things.

Day off tomorrow to enjoy paradise.

Hongkong and I rigged the computer in the business centre to download the new ninja turtles game for psp, and we seduced the girl in charge not to switch off the computer when they close so that the download will finish faster. hahaha. Kidding, she's a nice girl. The staff here are all too nice actually. It actually makes me feel bad when I say "thank you" because they will have to 100% say "you're welcome".

Today when we were at the lounge surfing the net on our psps the waitress gave us a free banana milkshake and spring rolls.

Oh yeah, and the tai chi old ladies... those 70-80 year old ladies... can do frickin splits. Like, they can spread their legs open 180 degrees, then bend their heads down and touch their legs while in that position! What the hell! I pity the fool who would try to steal their handbag or something, because they will send him flying away with one palm strike. They're so frickin old yet so frickin flexible its so scary. Tai chi rocks man.

Its been... really windy here today for some reason. Which is nice. Breezy and the temperature is 20-23 degrees. The best part is, its damn cloudy so there's little sun. Hahaha loser sun kenah block by the clouds _|_

Its 6:53pm now and upstairs in the reception there are girls in red chinese dresses playing the gu zhen, and elderly chinese women in tai chi clothes practicing tai chi. They really spare nothing to create a unique ambience around here.

I need to rave about the swimming pool here. Its not a pool, its like a circuit. Like curvey long ass circuit... perhaps about 200-300metres in length. Its incredible. Part of the stretch goes under a small bridge. There's a net for pool volleyball or something, but all the way at the other side it branches out into a pool with 2 hoops for pool basketball. Who the hell invented pool basketball? Don't they know water isn't good for the ball? But they don't care, because they have many balls... -_-

Anyway, I've come across the most interesting sign off for an email in one of the recent fan mails:

"Heya there!
I'm a big OCRemix fan, and an absolutely obsessive fan of your MGS2 remixes and I was thinking that you should make a myspace! I'd be HONOURED to have "The Path to Redemption" as the song on my myspace (it'd suite it PERFECTLY) and I also feel it could help as furthering getting your name out there as it so very seriously deserves to be!

Peace, love and mung beans....
Zeb."

What is a mung bean and why is it related to peace and love?


Also, there's a chance for me to do a soundtrack for an overseas feature film. Woot.

Romania's gym routine saves alot of time... I think I spent like 40 mins in the gym just now but felt tired like shit after that.

Tried to go for a warm up run before gym but after 5 mins, my chest was so tight... I think I sprained my lung or some muscle required for breathing.

Studying all these the different methods and routines of the guys here, really gives more perspective on what I should be doing now and what I've been doing right.

1.5 weeks of this new programme and we'll see if anything happens.

I am now the reigning street fighter alpha 3 player here... which would technically make me like worldwide sfa3 god in this resort haha. Yun is awesome. Hongkong is really good. So is nigeria. I've never seen anyone zone so well before, but now after playing against him and learning from his strengths and weaknesses, I've built his zoning game ontop of my counter game so the odds are now in my favor.

Today is rest day. So we get to do whatever the hell we want. Its a nice break from the hectic filming, etc etc.

Oh yeah, I really shouldn't get too cocky with my chinese. Just cause I can converse basically and its been improving somewhat, I made a huge mistake to do a tv interview in chinese. God... when the reporter hit me with some level 99 chinese question... I was like... omgwtf. It was like those godamn chinese compo questions, compare the climate of sanya to sg, which one do you prefer, and why? Bad memories... Yuck.



Going for teppanyaki with hongkong now.
