I would not hide, neither will i forget how bad/sad/emo this week was, as you can see from my facebook wall post about the 14 day thingy. Shadow of the day will paint the world in grey... The sun goes down, i feel the light betray me... I remember black skies, the lighting all around me...

It was really devastating for me, to think that i've done relatively not bad, filling 2 perms on top of the usual temps and the thought of happily extending my contract till july, but the 2 week's notice to buck up just smashed that thought of extension, totally. And there i was just a day ago and still telling everybody who thinks i'm crazy that i love my job...

Over the extended weekend on the trip to bintan, i really let go of everything. I left everything: all my worries, thoughts and burdens behind and man i felt lighter. Sitting down by the white sandy beach watching the sun rise with the accompaniment of the waves. Trying to catch crabs, looking for sea shells... Other than the stupid incident which we missed our ferry on the way there, our trip was a very enjoyable one. Traveling around the whole island in the day on a private tour which brings us to places with amazing scenery (while traveling along the coastline), to places which showed the day to day life of the locals (passing by their harbour, houses, shopping centres and even their 8-ball pool shops)

I was also to learn that there are 2 zones with in Bintan itself, 1 for the locals, the other housed the resorts for the visitors which is out of bounds to the locals. The difference between the 2 zones can be compared to heaven and earth. The local zone generally have roads with no street lamps, no government supplied water & electricity while the tourist zone have roads which are nicely paved, specially planted trees, hired locals who take care of security and cleanliness, golf courses... Which i must admit comes at a much higher premium.

The food at the resorts are way too expensive even by singapore's standards, the international buffet which was 50 plus per person after taxes wasn't worth its value. Rental and usage of the sea sports facilities and all terrain vehicles are no where near cheap with rates averaging around 50 bucks per hour. The hotel facilities are great, with very spacious rooms and even beach chairs at the balcony!

Came back to my homeland in the afternoon and was immediately greeted with a call. Of all questions, my good buddy joseph have to ask "You working tomorrow?" I swear at that point in time i feel like throwing my pair of newly bought slippers at him! Still i ended up meet weiji and him for dinner at a korean restaurant and ice-cream before heading over to play pool at our usual hangout.

2010-04-11T21:01:00.002+08:00

Every day once the clock strike 5.30pm! The office POT LUCK begins! You'll see containers and bags of food appearing out of no where being passed around! And this week i shared the fish crackers i bought from malaysia to everybody's delight. It is also this week which i came to know of a new bakery which sells mouth watering rasin and cheese buns.

Helped aaron found a job at Ernst & Young, located at shenton way. Once again the 3 old buddies are reunited both at work and at home... Hahaha, and he's a super lucky guy, monday to wednesday work at state bank of india then thursday onwards at EY! And also i realised this week that of the 14 people i've match a job to, 9 of which are my friends! I'm such a friend FAJ-er...

Also this week we witness the departure of yet another temporary staff, Yvoone, who happens to be the lady who introduced this job to me. All the best.

Friday is a super shagged day for me as my mentor isn't around and i have to juggle between my already super busy work and her correspondences with her clients. Through that i've got to learn another important problem solving skill! (Especially when i'm contacting both the client and the candidate) Dinner after that was at marina square manhattan fish market with linton and aaron. They forgot and left out my reservation! But a quick rectification by their manager spared us the long queue. Following was arcade and billard and arcade yet again before hoping on the last bus home.

Saturday was spent at home for practically the whole day and helped out in the preparation of dinner. As night falls, the owl in me awoken and i left home to meet up with joseph and weiji at our usual hangout for a game of pool till the wee hours of the night. Managed to win a bet and got a lift home by weiji! Haha, thanks 'doggie' luck =)

Sunday was family day yet again and this time its to the cemetery for Qing Ming Jie. Ate at tamah jurong before another game of pool and also met up with my cousin's girlfriend. Ended it with my bottle of beer stuck in my fridge ever since chinese new year!

2010-04-04T18:41:00.003+08:00

What a week, its april fool's week this week, and i'm such a huge huge slacker. Work 3 days rest 4 days! Didn't managed to pull off any interesting stuns this april fool's day, except appearing back in camp!

Well my 3 days of work as fun as usual. Just that i was in the suspense as to when i'll be required to shift to a new table, and melody was like joking with me by implying that i wasn't performing and kicking me away to another table! And i almost didn't fill a 0.5 this week! My mentor saved the day ( and my ass! Literally! from my big boss ) ! by helping me close a case on thursday! The day which i wasn't in camp! She tot i was joking when i told her i want to take off on april fool's day! Haha, well apparently not!

Thursday i was back in camp to the surprise of many people, settled some important stuffs and also to go back to see hows life for those trapped souls! Haha. Managed to got on the bus before the pouring rain, and there goes my chance of going back to work... Slept the whole afternoon! WHOO! haven't had that kind of sleep since i started work, then at night its prata with joseph followed by pool with joseph and weiji. I'm super super lucky that night, which left both of them speechless! Only lost 2 games which i potted the black ball in! Sigh... Then its dota after that as andrew joined us till about 3am! Man some games are just too owning!

Friday supposed to go sentosa but was cancelled last minute as nigel cannot make it, so in the end i stayed at home and NUA till about evening before we head to our family barber for a trim. Dinner was awesome! Seafood restaurant at bottle tree park! Was quite amazed that after all we ordered, black pepper crabs, prawns, scallops, yam... it amounted to about hundred odd.

Sat went back to school to play volleyball in the morning. Which we complained about the hot sun and before we know it, the rain has forced us to stop our game. And its a very lazy afternoon with the rain while i spent the whole afternoon till night being a potato on the couch, talking to a friend of mine.

Sunday, MALAYSIA! Whooo, drove there early in the morning and stayed there till 5 plus 6pm. =) WORK Tmr, its a fresh new week!

A few more hours to go

2009-12-12T00:32:00.002+08:00

Its pass 12.40am now and slightly more than 9 hours more to go to my flight, i'd should be sleeping by now but apparently i'm still trying to finish up some last minute things which needed to be done.

Once again i'm on my beanbag leaning against the glass wall overlooking bukit panjang... Somehow or rather it has become a norm for me to take a very long and good look at the night sky the night before my flight/overseas trip. Catching up with several people whom i want to talk to before i leave this place, though there's 2 of which i haven't been able to contact as of now.

Its a short trip, hopefully it will turn out to be eventful and an eye opening trip for me. And yes, if time permits, i'll be going on a shopping spree, just got my pay and got a few things which i wanted to buy for quite some time already.

Till then... Bye Singapore...

Prep-ing for audit

2009-11-10T22:57:00.000+08:00

Booked out very late this week, it was well past the time we set ourselves to finish by. Supposed to finish by sat morning, ends up we only booked out on sat night. Everybody's morale is super super low, some are grumbling and stuffs, everybody damn sian already, just don't understand why some people who keep saying sian sian sian until everybody also start to give up. Low morale then just shut up suck thumb and continue, say sian sian then do things slowly laggi worse right then still go tell everybody sian la, damn demoralising. F***ing A**holes i swear.

Met joseph for a drink at coffee bean that night as he is going to ORD this coming week. 3 months more to my turn. I can't wait!

Slept my most of my sunday away as i was damned tired, with bad cough and flu and headache. Except for lunch where i dunno where i went but at this food court which sells 10 dollar prawn mee! The part which amaze me most is that the prawn mee was sold out just before i can place my order! SOLD OUT! Wow, singaporeans are quite price blind when it comes to food. Haha.

Went to the 24hr doctor near my house at about 12.30 as i was so sick that i can't even sleep. MC 2 days. Man for like years i haven't slept so much. Slept more than 15 hours each day!

Nxt week got course! E prep! ORD's coming...

My 20th Birthday

2009-11-01T22:48:00.004+08:00

Long time before my birthday i have this dream/wish that i'll have brithday off, but ends up i was scheduled to go for exercise for this whole week! That was what i thought until the monday of this week when i was told that due to constrains i'm only required to go outfield on wednesday! After that when i'm back in camp was to wash it up and then prepare for audit soon. I was so busy that honestly i forgot that it was my birthday on friday, i was only thinking book out, book out, then just go chill. Due to some stupid reasons i had to argue with my parents regarding the overseas trip to taiwan which left me quite down on that day. They brought me to bugis for dessert that night and after that i went out with linton and aaron to our usual hangout to chill and lim kopi... Uneventful yet simple way to add 1 to my number of years on earth

Drove to malaysia yesterday, my first time driving up north and well i've gained a whole lot more driving skills from just that 1 trip. Seriously, the drivers in malaysia are crazy sometimes. To make matters worse, it was pouring cats and dogs when i'm driving back to singapore which almost got me into an accident.

Last few hours before booking in i spent some time at cck walking around aimlessly and desperately soaking in the sights and sounds of civilization. I ended up buying a korean movie by the name The Art of Seduction. Its an interesting show about seducer vs seductress, about how they try to tear each other tactics apart...

Oh i forgot i had another movie mania this week. Watched The Proposal, 早熟 ( 2 young ) and another show on channel 62 which i forgot the name.

Finally, thanks for all the birthday wishes =)

CEO COC Parade

2009-10-25T16:56:00.002+08:00

Well the COC parade have its pros and cons. Cons is that by the end of the first day of training, i'm already tanned. By the third, i start to peel already. Pros is that well, we get to stay out on wed and thursday. Oh not forgetting thursday afternoon and friday morning off!

Thurday after book out went to watch inglorious bastards with tsu ern, marcus and calvin. They are damn joke and calvin kenna conned by some prudential girl to ask him to sign up for some savings plan. Still dunno what trial 1 month... The movie well was very random, and sometimes its even too random for me! But some part damn funny yet sadistic.. but well according to tsu ern its a full of crap and a total waste of money

The parade went well on friday and after that everybody was in a hurry to go home and then also somethings happen which was quite funny. It was kind of a complicated process where we have to go to hq to draw office key, then office key inside must go find the keypress key and stuffs but yeah, this lcp at the hq was very annoyed when jia he and i asked him which keys are we required to draw for the office key and say he dunno, we should know, that kind of stuffs. Then when we finally found out the correct key to draw and jia he wrote his name and rank down the guy got a shock and he suddenly change expression and tone! he became more courteous and gave us the key nicely. Then after that its my turn to return the key, but well the pen got some problem then he said in a very annoyed toned like why you cannot write properly and stuffs, then once again when he saw my rank he stunned and then talk nicely and ask if we are new here... WTH, though we went out of the room laughing like mad, but i still feel that guy is quite screwed up, i know its a friday and you very sian you got duty till nxt morning but this is no way to talk to any person be it same rank or not when he didn't even offend you la...

Anyway after that we went out with grayson to amk hub for dinner. and after dinner was when shit happens to grayson and me. Kenna tricked by a ruse used by the prudential promoters to catch out attention then they try to hard sell us the savings plan; the same one sold to calvin just the day before. They held us there for more than 1 hour and mind you they are really persistent and they try to brainwash you.

Sat! Finally a class outing since ages ago. Quite surprised with the turnout as theres even a rare appearance by Tim, Shu Ming and Joel! The rest all quite usual like pq, brian, mh, lyn, don, boss, weiji and xt. Had a change of location this time, instead of all the usual swensons, fish and co and stuffs we ate at paragon DING TAI FENG! Supper was at keppel bay where by in the process of getting there lynette lost her way and ended up near nus! Thats what happens when a lady is at the wheel =)

Sunday, dim sum for lunch, thats 2 times in a row! Dammit, i'm starting to get sick of all the dim sums already...

Home Visitation Program

2009-10-18T19:35:00.002+08:00

The good news this week is that my ankle's better though it still hurt when i exert weight on it. I need to start exercising, been getting fat.

I'll anyhow write this post la, cause dunno why i just cannot think now. Dammit like kenna jamed like that so just bear with me for just this post.

The two COS duties are really very boring most of the time. Brought 4 books even purposely went to buy 1 of them, and guess what i finished 3! Lols. Anyway booked out on thursday as we have some home visitation program. Met up with grayson zhenwei zhihan chongshuo timothy and brian for breakfast at macs early morning 8am at toa payoh. The program was quite fun with alot of role plays and our instructor was no doubt very zai, masters in psychology, she pointed out things which sometimes i didn't even know, like that little bit of action matters! Friday night was spent with linton at starbucks talking and using laptop at suntec. We met that very queer woman again but lucky this time she didn't say or do anything much to harass us.

Saturday was my MUM's brithday. Whoo, this time well in a hurry and not knowing what to eat we went to sentosa rasa sentosa to have buffet dinner. Though its only 60 plus per person the food wasn't that great, the variety of food also quite cannot make it. The ambiance was so so only, maybe the walk along the beach after dinner is better. Hmm oh i also found this interesting and cultured place where people park their yatch near harbourfront.

Sunday as usual is my family day, haha, was going around running errands, reading newspapers, stonning, listening to music ( thats practically the whole time )

Quite a few smaller things happen this weekend also, like the trip to udders with linton where they say the shop is open, but after we buy the ice-cream already the shop assistant tell us the shop is closed for private function! WTH! Cheat us the money la. Then got the funny part where joseph want to meet up with me to return me money and also play basketball but then i got a bad bruised knee cap while him, a hair line fracture of the ankle. Lols imagine 2 pai kahs go play bball. Lmao.

Many things are still running through my head... Dunno how to say, what to say, who to tell...

A long overdue reflection

2009-10-10T19:01:00.003+08:00

Had a huge scare by my camp MO this week. Smashed my knee cap against this corner of my tank which resulted in a very wierd bump on my knee cap and the pain is extreme. My OC still say want to bet with me that i will get 3 days excuse RMJ. The MO see already say you good game liao, sure fracture your knee cap, go NUH x-ray, then he even ask one of the new medics on go and touch that bump on the knee cap! Then at nuh taken pain killers and heng x-ray come out nothing happen, the doc put it as though its like just a bruise! Which i doubt it also cause the other time i had a bruise it didn't felt this way either. To that blur blur friend of mine who ask me why am i back on a thursday night, i think you should know by now.

Friday morning was woken up by many phone calls from army. Well i realized i can walk around without much discomfort. So that night i went out to vivocity to do run some errands before walking around, thinking of what to buy for make my COS duty eaiser. Met silas, my sispec bunk mate, waiting for his gf to go for movie. Spent about 2 hours plus stuck at the page one book shop wonder which book to buy, and oh i also bought a small tub of cookies!

Went out at 12am with linton and aaron for supper at our usual hangout. Linton as usual can't wait for the pay to come, especially when we have a pay increment from this month on. Its finally up to $840 whooo, kudos to 3g army which place more importance on sgts. Haha.

This morning i went out to sim lim to grab some stuffs. As it was raining heavily, i stopped by at plaza sing for breakfast and met Vince at the mrt! Lols. Then it was to sim lim tower and square to grab a couple of stuffs. And after like 2 hours of fixing, i can finally say my project is 50% done. Now i need to buy some wooden plank/box!

For some reason i decided to spent most of my weekend alone, doing things on my own, which i would otherwise do it with my family. And all the time spent alone i managed to have a much overdue reflection on my life. Its been a long while and i'm finally liberated off all my pains and uneasiness which built up within me for almost the past 1 year. For that i'm very glad =)

Tmr's my COS duty. I gonna have the whole coy to myself for most of the day. Its mugging time... Haha

9th Nyaa Gold Award Presentation Ceremony

2009-10-04T18:50:00.003+08:00

This week is kind of full of shit, first my psp memory card died on me (argh all my saved games and songs and stuffs), then my civilian phone the menu/options button spoilt (can't msg properly), then i found myself having 2 COS duties within the same week on 11th and 15th oct of which 11 is a sunday! Then spent over 20 bucks on lan over the past few nights out to enjoy, to challenge other ppl and to celebrate zhen wei's birthday respectively. Then friday was the nyaa award presentation ceremony which makes me feel as though i'm receiving a second class award. Sigh...

Well finally after waiting for more than 2 years, i'm a proud NYAA Gold Award Recipient. All my hard work and perseverance paid off. The ceremony was very grand, with members of parliament, some directors from singapore pools and media corp and last but not least our president his excellency Mr S R Nathan. It was a very good evening but the ending wasn't as good as it was meant to be.

Friday met up with wai cheung vince and aaron before going to lavender to link up with wenxi before proceeding to temasek poly for the ceremony. Over there i met many old pals and some juniors. The crap part is that while everybody receives their award from Mr Nathan, my sch as we have like over 300 plus ppl sent a representative and our principal to collect the award on behalf of us. Okay then we only receive our award from Mr Mah Bao Tan after the whole event has ended! And our parents/friends are not invited! Its like what the hell, really the feeling sucks big time.

Saturday was hari raya visiting to hariz house in the late afternoon with weijiang linton and fat hariz. Morning was spent driving my parents around to buy some stuffs here and there and grab a free pair of shoes from chevrons form my dad. Seriously i have too much credit left, dunno where and what to spent on. Damned. I don't liked to be forced to spend but time is against me ARGH! Afternoon went to hariz house, man he bakes! and seriously its quite nice, better than the cookies mh and pq baked at joseph's house that time ( WHOOPS, crossing my fingers hoping mh and pq won't read this ), he even baked pineapple tarts for us non muslims to try! Then we are also served nasi lemak, but for some reason i don't understand why myself, i keep snacking on the cucumbers at the table. Then after visiting we head to bukit timah for pool till evening time and then its time to go home for mid autumn festival celebration at home. Man i miss the times playing with lanterns and candles. Haha.

Bought a replacement memory card for my psp today. And i swear the shops at BPP are out to con me. An 8GB card which cost $59 bucks only cost $42 bucks at simlim! That's one fat profit margin. If you're reading this, and you want to buy some electronic stuffs, i recommend you do your homework, you can go to Hardwarezone Singapore for the price guide =)

Passed ATP!

2009-09-27T19:26:00.004+08:00

Well this passed very fast especially when its only 4 days =) The first 2 days was spent at the live range for some shoot which i miraculously passed! I'm so not used to using another weapon i'm issued that i had to go for every single re-shoot available. Well the odds are stacked against us anyway, though they say get marksman will get 200 bucks, in my entire coy for the past few years, there is only 1 guy who got marksmen using the weapon we are issued. Man i still miss the M16 rifle, could have done so much better with it... Did nothing literally the whole of thursday as i have to travel all the way to CMPB for x-ray ( yes again ) followed by follow up at the medical centre, then at night was the post AOH celebration.

Firday booked out at 10.30am woots, then was being dragged to play dota till about 4 plus by my army friends then went on to join my bro and his firends for basketball till 8.

Sat well, woke up when the sun is shining at my butt, so yeah half day gone, which i later meet up with my family at orchard to go shopping to buy a belt. Didn't manage to see a tie which i liked so yeah. Wanted to watch the f1 but then they sealed up all the viewing points even on nicole highway! But hey i managed to get a glimpse of the race car sped by ( oops, not supposed to when i'm at the wheel, but hey i'm driving real slow )

Sunday the usually sad booking in day was spent morning running for about 5 click plus with linton and aaron. That usual cocky linton who was so damn happy he got the best job among the 3 of us as a clerk and without much surprise was the slowest and the shaggiest! HAH! then breakfast at bpp. Before running some errands and was down town to buy a tie. Woah i think i spent quite a lot of money for the award presentation this friday. Oh well pay day's round the corner and a pay rise! Whee...

Watched 2 movies this week, 1 was downright funny while the other which i liked alot was quite touching namely get smart and 早熟 respectively...

2009-08-28T23:15:00.002+08:00

Been really busy the last few weeks which explains why my blog is dead. Anyway i hardly doubt there's much readers to begin with. I dunno why it was supposed to be a very happy day today as its my first day as 3sgt but apparrently first i didn't get used to being called sgt and also the job which i'm assigned to do for aoh is really the worst of the lot, machiam like pte or worse like that. Man that feeling sucks. Hope to shake it off and enjoy this week as i'll be required to be working through the weekends due to AOH nxt week. Do come for AOH but dun find me. Bleah...

Stay out week! Okay half week stay out

2009-08-23T22:36:00.000+08:00

Heard from our seniors it was supposed to be a stay out week as we are having our consolidation week but ends up we only have 2 days of stay out and 1 day of nights out.

Monday booked out went home, tues too but as we're let of early, had dinner at plaza sing. Wed was spent playing lan. Thurs well didn't go out cause we can't and also fri's our grad ceremony. It used to be just grad ceremony then now they add one parade the nxt week. The ceremony was a very short one and after that we are technically a 3sg but practically not cause we haven't gone though the rank presentation during the parade which will be held nxt week. So its kinda like a weird position neither here nor there. Anyway met up with irene for dinner at cathay after that. Couldn't go out till too late cause she got curfew.

Went back to cjc for an interview for the NYAA award on sat with wai cheung. Was suprised to meet Wenxi there also, she's like long lost la, change uni, change phone number... But well she didn't change much i guess. My interviewer was some old man who looks very calm and he didn't ask me much to begin with so my interview ended quite fast. Tot something when wrong then only to realise they ask machiam the same qn to all of us. Haha. Stay back to talk to tan hoe teck and ms tay ( oops i forgot mdm ang ) haha. Then went down to Tiffany & Co at taka to help joseph buy a necklace. I look damn weird going inside there looking for a necklace la! Heng i was wearing some long sleeve with jeans and wai cheung came along too, but even so the shop assistant was like boh chap us for quite some time.

Night was spent at the esplande with linton trying to see who can get a better picture of the lanscape with our pathetic camera phone! And pls the local band playing erm well their songs just doesn't link with the audience. When it started it was full house then everybody left 1 by 1 till i think only half left or somewhat like that. Followed by supper at xin wang... had a sudden craving for milk tea... Haha

Aftermath of an exercise

2009-08-16T22:02:00.000+08:00

Woah its been well a good week i guess, no doubt its shiong at times but its through shiong times that bonds form between people. Through this i learn alot about my fellow course mates.

Well there are the fun times when we joke around happily, talking cock as usual when there's some times to rest... Some damn joke incident where by one of our rifles were being stolen right in front of our face ( in the dark ) brian was damn joke and really act dead by going back to sleep when our warrent officer crept up and played with us dead in the middle of the night! There are also some shitty times when we were scolded like crazy, especially during the execution part of the exercise where there are major screwups as it was our first time doing tgt.

Anyway well, booked out on sat afternoon cause we spent the whole friday till sat washing our tank and the area and need to settle many stuffs. No complains though, we've already consumed our off in lieu. The night was spent having dinner with weiji isaac xiuting and andrew at fish and co! Haha. Not bad haven't seen the both of them for quite some time already. Met gerard after that and went to eat tau huay but without xiuting and andrew.

Sunday morning have to wake up damn early and made my way down to city hall where i meet up with the other ET specs as we're forced to go run the AHM 6km fun run, from the sounds of it, it was supposed to be our morning run cause we haven't been running for quite some time already. What a way to further cut short our already short weekend? My timing for the run sucks, 30mins! The ending was damn abrupt, just after a left turn, i still tot got a damn far distance to go... While running i saw this xiao di di and xiao mei mei, man they are like 12 years plus only, but they run like machiam they don't understand what is shag like that! Somemore run quite fast ( as in comparable to my pace ) i was like siao liao cannot lose to small kids... I tot i was the only one who tot that way later i realised my friends also encountered those kids.

After that was a well deserved breakfast at macs. Saw this guy who fainted at macs after the run, which gave me a huge scare and attracted alot of attention. Oh during the race also someone fainted i think cause i heard the ambulance was being activated. Following after was a few rounds of pool and a walk at the games convention at suntec where i bought 2 trexis !!! Wanted to mutilate it and was keep pondering if they are hollow anot. Only found out they are hollow when i accidentally drop one of them when i was at home! Dammit, what a stupid way to find out they are hollow but hey thats great news.

National Day 2009

2009-08-10T21:16:00.000+08:00

Had a super long break this week as we will be required to stay nxt sat after our exercise to wash our vehicles, so yep off in lieu was given to us first. Man i really got to enjoy this weekend properly as i'll be in for a shiong week followed by a short weekend.

Met up with linton for supper at macs on thurs night as i haven't met him for quite some time already after i booked out.

Friday was quite relaxed with just medical appointment at noon followed by dinner with huixian. Dinner was great, i mean well, its almost like a picnic style but its food from taka eating at taka. Haha. Followed by shopping, dun ask me why but yeah, accompanied her to shop shop (damn weird la, in a ladies shop), ending with desert at bakerzin. Man the 50% off all desert makes it damn worth it! Even the extra fats! Hah

Saturday was happy still, as in roll over from friday night. Haha, thats why i decided to treat ji and iz for tau huay. Met up with weiji and isaac earlier so that i can go shopping, was looking for a pair of shoes but then ar isaac was busily talking about everything else that practically i was going shopping by myself. Sigh, saw this loafer but it didn't match my jeans... Anyway met up with lynette don peiqi and co for movie at cine after that. GI JOE was a great action show with cool and sleek gadgets. A must watch for all the ACTION movie people.

Sunday was the day remembered for saying the pledge day more than national day. Haha. I spent the night watching the tv with my cousin and my other relatives who came over to my house. Managed to see the fireworks from my living room window! What i remembered most was tim's message that he pasued dota just to say the pledge!!! LMAO. After that drove my brother and my cousin to udders for some ice-cream, and erm well thats when my cousin saw this good looking girl shop assistant and keep talking about her for hours after. Haha.

Monday well woke up quite early, went to play basket ball and swimming before sending my cousin home. While i chionged my NYAA essay, luckily i managed to ask for a time extension if not i'll be dead.

Booking in this week seems kinda abit sian (which book in isn't sian man?) cause i'll be going out field for my summary exercise to mark the end of my specialisation course.

We the people of singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people...

Hang over from cough medcine

2009-08-02T18:36:00.004+08:00

Technically booked in to see the MO. Was having flu and cough and sore throat. The cough medcine they gave is damn power la, i was really having a very bad hang over, so much so that my staff sgt sent me up to bunk to rest! I can't really remember what we did this week as half the time my mind is zombiefied. Oh on friday got a 3km run, thats prolly what i remembered and learning how to use the mine plow.

Friday thanks to wei koon's sister, i get to reach home early! Then while having dinner at kfc i met alvin. After that was lan with boss, pq, pq's package brian and weiji. Played L4D and pudge wars. The pudge wars damn funny, they keep building walls and stuffs damn irritating but damn funny.

Sat was spent mostly at home except for a damn long trip where i have to drive my bro to photocopy his stuffs and then send him all the way to orchard for him to cut hair. By the time i rush back, i rushed out to bugis to meet weijie. Wah a few months didn't see him, his business quite successful. Then played arcade after that for a while before boarding the last bus back.

Sunday too, was spent uneventfully at home till my parents dragged me out to sim lim to buy stuffs for the whole afternoon. Then worst kenna stuck at the traffic jam for 1 hour on the way back! ARGH!!! My precious book out time....

And also i finally decided to start watching boys over flowers and damn it was nice! 5 episodes this week! 5 down 20 more to go! Whoooo.... Man, nurul have to just spoil the ending for me! Sigh... Still its damn nice and damn funny. Haha. Further more Guem Dan Ji's (Koo Hye Sun) actions reminds me of someone. Haha. And i think ga eul's (Kim So Eun) quite chio! Yoon Ji Hoo's (Kim Hyun Joong) serene character's quite cool! Lols.

Looking forward to nxt weekend where it will be a 4 day long one for me =) Whahaha. And its time to chiong more boys over flowers =)

>200 days to ORD

2009-07-26T16:50:00.006+08:00

Officially less than 200 days to ORD as of wednesday. Whoo, i'm finally counting down. 196 days left to go.

This week's a pile of mud! My cupboard was ransacked and my new mp3 (less than 1 month) was stolen in the process. Because of that, everybody had to book out late as they stand by universe. I'm also down with quite a bad sore throat and a running nose. Sianzzz

Watched harry potter on friday night with my family at vivo. I kind of realise it had become a family thing to watch harry potter together since the first movie started. Its not as bad as some people put it, on the other hand there are definately things which could be better or some they left out like how some portraits are still...

Sat morning was spent at my bro's ptm, dun get me wrong i just merely went back to say hi to teachers =) Not bad i managed to talk to quite a few teachers as they happen to be free. Well was sad to know that mr chan resigned just before the june holidays. Good news on the other hand from Mr tan who told me that i should be able to receive my NYAA gold award from Mr Nathan this year. Finally, after a 2 year wait. Somehow or rather i feel quite comfortable when books are around, unknowning spent a couple of hours in the afternoon at the natl lib reading comics before wandering down to borders to check out some new books.

Supper with linton at marina square turned out to be just hokaido ice-cream! Dammit kenna conned, say go eat tau huay ends up become ice-cream. Anyway managed to catch jack and rai at the esplanade outdoor performing area. Man they are really good. Now i'm stuck to this song viva la vida...

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

Happy Brithday PQ

2009-07-19T18:48:00.005+08:00

Another week gone, and i'm currently at the halfway mark of my course. 1 more month to go =) This week have been quite a slack week as we do not need to go out field, just test, test and more test, both theory and practical... I'm supposed to go for the formation run on friday morning, a 10km run at seletar, but due to tests on friday, a few of us have to give up the chance of early book out! Sianzzz... But still we managed to book out by 12.

Friday itself is a mad rush for me as i have physiotherapy appointment at changi general hospital in the afternoon. So it was like book out then rush home then rush to cgh then rush down to queens ( the bbq food supplier was making a hell of a noise when i arrive ). Well honestly not everything turned out as planned, and i have to trouble my dad to send me to queens after he knocked off and go home to bring me my barang barang.

All in all, i would say the bbq is a success! The turnout was great, even though shu ming and tim could not make it at the last minute. PQ and her bf arrived first so we went over to ntuc to grab utensils, water and more food! Minhui and Isaac joined us there and help to carry the stuffs back. By the time we're back at the condo it was just nice as people like don, lynette, joseph, joel and gerard start to arrive and help out with the setting up of the fire and slowly start to bbq. Not long after, people like jasmine, gabriel, jacq, suemaine, weiji and even a rare apparance by jessica! As we started the bbq late, by the time we have to end it at 10pm we left abit of food left uncooked. Tried to haggled with the security guard supervisor about it and with due mutual understanding, he allowed us to stay till about 11pm at the pit. Wisked everybody up to my empty house after 11pm and thats where we celebrated peiqi's birthday with a cake bought by brian and interesting enough a candle which can sing happy birthday.

Only a few of us stayed over, namely mh, pq, brian, weiji, joseph and me. Well as usual mh pq brian and weiji were hogging the mahjong set the whole night, leaving joseph and me nothing to do but sleep.

Being a host is not as easy as it seems, though i've help to organise a few bbqs' hosting one and followed by a stay over is much more taxing. Was totally shagged even though i didn't do much on saturday.

Happy Brithday PQ

A first for clubbing

2009-07-12T13:02:00.007+08:00

When is the last time you did something for the first time? Well i did something for the first time yesterday night. Clubbing. Yes clubbing, so unlike me to even speak of it, and what in heaven is a guy who don't drink go clubbing? Well i would say for experience and part of growing up i guess, got the idea from my friend who also went clubbing for her first time last week, though she didn't enjoy it, well at least you can say you're not a mountain turtle.

It started out as a gathering with my pri6 classmates and our beloved chinese teacher Mdm Toh at yew tee. Was glad to meet up again and as usual we had our very long catching up before making our way down to butter factory where we were rejected entry to the age limit 23 section. The reason they give is damn stupid, we are not correctly dressed must be long sleeve cannot polo or t-shirt. -_-" So we end up at queueing at rebel. Thats when things start to happen, one of my friends drank bacardi bottle as though she's drinking 1.5ltr mineral water and she cannot walk straight and was high. Shortly after she entered the club she was dead drunk and had to be bounced out and vomited, sadly the guy she puked on was damn sian and send her home. But that was enough to affect everybody's mood, thinking of that, at the moment i was concerned (cause she fell like a pile of dunno-what on the floor), angry ( if you can drink then dun drink so much, have some social responsibility at the very least ) and intrigued by what alcohol can do to one's mind by the fact that the things she say while she's dead drunk and crying.

I went in with my eyes open and almost perfectly sane. Almost. ( just drank abit of vodka lime which i feel is like totally no effect)

It was damn noisy and darnk inside and everybody is like squeezed towards each other, some sweaty, so dry, some fat, some skinny, some chio, some ugly, some dance with the opposite sex, some dance with the same sex, some dance at the more empty area where ppl usually sit, some dance at the dance floor... Looking at the expressions on people's face some are enjoying themselves grinding each other, while some show that kind of irritated expressions as they are being grinding by someone they dun like...

I was told every time people go clubbing they got interesting things to share and well some of the things happened yesterday. Mingli was being harrassed by this desperate girl just as he puts in that way. She grab his hand and grind him while he didn't even do much, she also rub her middle on his thigh and try to grab his private part but lucky he managed to deter her and got saved by another friend of mine. Wai Cheung got the worst shock of his life, while he was on the way out, a guy accidentally grab his privates! OMG! As for me well, theres nothing much really worth mentioning as most of the time i'm enjoying the music and analysing people and the situations at a corner of the dance floor with my friends.

Met a few friends there too, debbie, esmond and this dude from my BSLC coy whos name escapes me.

Thats a first...

Bye Bye LBV

2009-07-10T23:50:00.001+08:00

Man, this week another milestone in my counting down days to ORD. Exactly 7 months more as of today and also its pay day, which makes pay day a more significant date to look forward to.

Took my first SOC test in my army life so far, the previous 2 times during my BSLC period i was sent to hospital, so this is my first SOC test and my passing time is 30 secs faster than the rest of my coursemates as i'm second year. Woah i'm honestly suprised i passed! Usually i run damn slow like 1-2 mins slower than the passing time then somemore while running i gave up halfway cause i saw my stopwatch timing wrongly then only to find out like 1 min later and then chiong all the way back. WHOOOOOO.... I can throw away my LBV already!

Words can't really express such feelings and like many others i made a very primitive action of expression of joy. I let out a loud "YES!" =)

L plate again

2009-07-05T17:57:00.002+08:00

After about 4 months of getting my license, i'm back into "L" plate again! This time round, its for a 60 tonne monster, the oldest and fattest and heaviest sai kang warrior tank. Driving the monster is a totally different feeling as first its a left hand drive, with no steering wheel but a bar for replacement, and moving at 15km/h feels damn fast until you have a look at the speedometer. 5 days to learn and pass the test, 2 more days to go. Lucky we started on wed as by friday most of us wanted to die already! Waking up early in the morning to clean up and check the tank, then check again after lunch, then at night come back check again, knock knock knock, hammer hammer hammer, tighten tighten tighten...

Sat was spent helping out at east coast park for a family day event. Was stationed to give out souvenirs and then meals. Which is where is saw the ugly side of singaporeans, when everybody redeemed their food and we left quite alot, we made an announcement to give away all the rest of the food for free, and ppl all rush to the table and want to take as many things as possible. Some even took away cartonS of new water! (1 still okay la, some one shot take like 3-4 cartons away! ) Some keep coming back for more, some even koped plastic bags! Lols la. Below is an extract

Auntie: You giving out free meals right?
Me: Yep, how many do you want?
Auntie: How many do you have?
Me: 'points to the area which easily have more than 200-300 packs' have quite alot
Auntie: 'ponders and count' then like that arr, i want 10

The best part is when we ran out of vegetarian food, being typical singaporeans they like to choose and will try their luck at getting the better deal, so when they know that vegetarian food is out, instead of taking the normal meal, they want to change for KFC! ( the child's meal ) Child's meal is beside the point but HEY VEGETARIAN CANNOT EAT MEAT CAN EAT KFC! WOAH

Where are all your social graces?... Ugly singaporeans...

An eventful week

2009-06-28T16:35:00.002+08:00

My first week in gedong aka chalet. Kinda stressful, as in my course theres 4 sgts 4 scts 4 lcp and 4 pte, as scts we got no choice but to forced to perform as we have to lead out man the ptes after we pass out. The only reprive is the muah chee uncle who never fails to drive his van over every night selling us muah chee, hotdogs and haircut.

Friday when i was doing area cleaning in the morning, dunno why there is this sudden urge to listen to radio ( i usually didn't even play music ) and the first thing i heard is that michael jackson had passed on... A very suprising news on a friday morning.

I don't know how to put it, but this weekend just feels very much different from all my other weekends. Its so special, so relaxed, so interesting, so... Did many things i really liked to do and also did things which i rarely did.

Somehow or rather i met many people i longed to meet this week. First was my guardroom ooc buddies jun yi and desmond during some learning day exhibition at MI whom i was quite suprised to bumb into. Followed by sgt alexander at the booth where we had a long chat, he's ord-ing in 7 more months! Then it was dinner and arcade with my long lost colleage, huixian =) Cycling with gabriel chua my hotel ooc buddies occured at sat afternoon where we took out time to cycle to orchard and back stopping by far east for a drink and KAP for dinner. Halfway while cycling i met amos lim, my lower sec classmate, was quite suprised to know he retook his a lvls, but well at least he's in ocs now. Poped over to bpp to buy some groceries after cycling and was caught yawning with my mouth open wide by nurul who happen to be heading home after buying groceries. Thinking that might be enough for the day, i met suffian my upper sec classmate on the way home. Long time no see, he's grown fatter, rounder, chubbier and sadly just enlisted not long ago. Mr Wong my neighbour, well i just met him at the lift!

Also i watched 3 very touching chinese shows this week; 内衣少女 (nei yi shao nu), 绝种好男人 (jue zhong hao nan ren) and 星愿 (xin yuan). The show which left me the greatest impression is the show 星愿, a very touching and sad show.

Why are movies so touching, yet real life so boring?

MJ : A legend gone too soon

2009-06-27T14:24:00.001+08:00

Lets have a moment of silence in respect for the passing of our beloved king of pop. Michael Jackson...

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Bridge:
And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Refrain (2x)

There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

Rest In Peace

Weekend getaway

2009-06-21T13:09:00.004+08:00

Its been a week, a very fun yet screwed up one. This week well i only need to spend 3 days in camp and the last 2 days in chevrons and wild wild wet respectively due to some events. Of the 3 days, i spent 2 in the medical centre sickbay on IV drip.

Chevrons is where we had our cohesion day. Watched saving private ryan followed by buffet lunch then bowling. Pool after that was fun as its been a long while since i've met people somewhere my level to play a very challenging game of pool ( i'm quite okay like middle middle, so usually either kenna own or own ppl, finally some good challenge )

Wild wild wet! Lols thats where i got my tan back! Whee...

Spend my weekend on a getaway somewhere in spore... Haha... Chalet style =)

Half of my GSS warchest gone to computer fair

2009-06-14T20:15:00.004+08:00

Whoo, finally its going to be the last week of the basic phrase =) Kenna wacked upside down inside out during stand by area as we have like 2 hours plus to clean up but they still go all the funny places to dig out dust! Esp the toilet! Argh.

Anyway booked out relatively early on friday, tot of going com fair but realise no time ends up meet up with weijiang, hariz, linton, jia qi and poh chiat for supper. Good luck JQ for he will be going in to BMT tmr morning! Damn sad...

Saturday was spent going to computer fair! Wah theres really alot of people, but suprisingly not as much as the march one, didn't really get squashed (except by the lift but thats another story ) and the shops are not as varied as that in march, can see all the shops cut cost and tighten budget. This time round mostly are the established companies selling their products as compared to those sim lim square shops the other time round.

This is the pic i took at 8 am this morning at suntec city! And there's already a long queue for the starhub promotion whereby they give free laptop! Its 8am and the doors won't open till 12pm! Anyway i wasted about 7 hours waiting and queuing and more queuing before i finally get to go home. What a waste of my precious book out time... Lucky book in timing is late today at 11pm.

Wah i spent quite alot this weekend, 150 bucks in total at the computer fair for an mp3 player and extra ram for my dieing laptop to give it another boost of life, like a human on respirator! I'm getting broke! 150 bucks is like there goes half of my GSS warchest. Dammit.

Gotta run now before going back to camp, got some stupid bet with my buddy that whoever don't exercise or run will have forfeit.

Oh and Bon voyage Min Hui ( though you will be back today, Haha ) =)

Early book in again :(

2009-06-07T13:48:00.005+08:00

Okay these 2 weeks have been kinda buzy.

Drove my parents out on friday to buy selegie tau huay then to marina barrage to eat there as it was family day. Not fair lor, everybody else book out early at like 3 plus due to family day then we stay till damn late cause of this and that. Anyway marina barrage is not as windy as before, sianzzz, but still very nice place to relax and look at the sea.

Also the last weekend i organized an emergency class gathering, in which i was surprised by the turn out too. Well actually cause jess's back in spore and i was only told on friday night to plan for sat dinner. Well we queued like for 2.5hrs just to get into astons, though i must say its really damn cheap for chicken chop plus 2 side dishes for only $6+. I tot of postponing this post cause i would expect someone by the name of Oon Xiuting to upload the pictures but well, as you can see its been a week and nothing's done. Haha.

This week we had live firing and its damn cool to see and really blow up real explosives! Not like those movies see see nia, this one is REAL, can see with your own eyes and feel the shockwave, can also feel the falling rocks on your helmet! Haha. Konk Konk Konk falling on our helmets, damn fun la the feeling.

Saturday was damn shag, woke up damn early and travel all the way to CGH for physio before spending the rest of the day at queesntown area doing stuffs and night was spent receeing orchard road for stuffs to buy when my pay come in on wed! By then i'll have amassed a $450 war chest for GSS! Lols though i got nothing much to buy also, was aiming for a pair of loafers, a sling bag, a birthday present and prolly a few cheap tops and the rest its for computer fair! Haha. Crap i will just end up spending all that i saved the past few months, lucky now got more pay, if not i die liao. I NEED a UOB CARD for more discounts....

Sunday sian its book-in day today, and i only woke up in the afternoon so there goes half a day. I need to catch back up on time, and the worst part i have to book in by 7.30 cause tmr's live firing again! WHOOO, more explosions =) BOOM! Konk konk konk....

Ooh btw i've been hardworking enough (acutally i'm just damn lazy) to add the link for my another blog in the "links" on the left side. When i got time then i shift it to the main page. Till then...

Stoic Philosophy

2009-05-31T19:25:00.004+08:00

"I must die. But must i die groaning? I must be imprisoned. But must i whine as well? I must suffer exile. Can any one hinder me from going with a smile and a good courage, and a peace?"

Farewell hiatus

2009-05-24T16:38:00.005+08:00

Craps, the 1 week block leave is bitter sweet! The good part, i get to rest and slack at home =) The bad part, it disrupted my plans for a AFK-ing december. Just imagine 14 days of leave at december! Haha. Now thats been cut down to 9.

This week was a very enjoyable week with late nights ALL the way. Damned i'm like freaking sleep deprived.

Monday was a day to sentosa with my army buddies. I was still thinking of getting a tan, but looks like the weatherman got outwitted by nature. Instead of the sun, we had showers with thunder which forced us to play games inside the pavillion, which include psp, frisbee, vball and bowling ( yes bowling, and its damn stupid, we used our 1.5ltrs water bottle as pins and the vball as the ball! ) Thats how bored we are. Haha. The rain stopped at about 3 plus 4 where we started playing till sunset, before filling out stomaches with Carl's Jr =)

Tuesday was LAZY WEE HOE DAY! Man i was already feeling damn lazy and my mum forced me to pack my stuffs early in the morning which totally killed me! It felt worst than my 30km route march. Which i just spent the rest of the day nua-ing around. Haha.

Wed, well was spent playing badminton with Dillion and to my horror, i realised my backhand skills are like totally gone! Omg! Kenna Owned upside down inside out. Follow by settling some stuffs for my bro.

Thursday was spent around touring Singapore, well not exactly aimlessly, got some personal stuffs need to settle then ends up walking from point to point instead of taking bus and these are some of the pics i took with my handphone.

Was actually planning to stay home on friday but then i saw this 30% off voucher from borders in the evening, which made me travel all the way down and get a book. The damn sad thing is that i spent the savings from the book on a botak jones meal and my cab fare home as i missed the last bus! Felt quite erm half dumb half happy, weird feeling, dumb cause i end up spending more than what i save and yet happy cause i got a book to read. Happen to see this lion at town and found it quite interesting.

Went to Tim's house for class gathering yesterday. Well it was supposed to be bbq but ends up we changed it to pizza party as i was planning till quite shag and just floated the lazy idea of ordering pizza to tim's house, in which IZ bought the idea and managed to pursuade everybody to change it. Glad to be able to meet up with many people whom i've not met since the last class gathering which is like a few months back. The pizza was quite okay, and interestingly enough they are sold in like 3's and cost wise well i think its quite reasonable. Quite a number stayed overnight but a whole lot of them went out to play lan. While PQ, MH, PS, Brian Joseph and i stayed back at the house to play mahjong. The rest are like almost dead after 1 round and ends up playing wii sports till the nxt morning with MH and Joseph. PS damn funny, he suddenly woke up, play 1 game of tennis then go back to la la land!

Now i'm dreading the fact that i have to book in tmr morning to report to my new camp. Nooooo.....

Only Love

2009-05-21T00:32:00.000+08:00

2am and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me

But only love can stay
Try again or walk away
But i believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So i just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But i can make you see it through
That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough
If we learn to trust

But only love can stay
Try again or walk away
But i believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So i just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But i can make you see it through
That's something only love can do

I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'll give my dreams just one more chance
To let this be our last goodbye

But only love can stay
Try again or walk away
But i believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So i just play my part
Pray you'll have a change of heart
But i can make you see it through
That's something only love can do

That's something only love can do

Finally after a one year wait

2009-05-15T17:00:00.001+08:00

Its finally over. Waited for this day for a year, though to many others its just a very small passing out parade in which we will then head on to go to our advance phrase of training, to me it was quite a major moment. Well, partly cause its due to this course that i've torn my ankle ligament the first time round, and this time i've got chronic back pain in which resulted me to be warded in CGH for a few days. And also finally i can carry on and peacefully (i hope) get my sgt rank and ORD.

After a tiring 30km route march, i'm done with this course. Next phrase, new challenges, here i come.

A very blur 2 hours

2009-05-03T19:11:00.002+08:00

Sianz, booking soon. Haha, anyway when has booking in be not sian one?

Anyway i had a very blur 2 hours block where i did many stupid things, like missing the handle when i try to open the door so i almost fell, parking the car without looking then i hit the back against the carpark wall, the last one best, walk straight into a locked door! Wah, damn sian man.

Gotta go. I'll update about last week's stuffs when i survive another week of camp.

Happy Birthday Peeish

2009-05-02T01:44:00.003+08:00

As the name suggest, my cousin jio me out to accompany him for his shopping spree. Wah i see already i quite demoralized though. He spent about $250 bucks in 1 day thats the amount i get to live with for a month! No joke!

Not that he likes to spend money but he got no choice, graduation coming soon and also sun bian replace worn out shoes. He damn sad he found his shirt at G2000 then he ask to recomend him a tie which after he see he say okay lor without looking at the price tag. Turns out the tie more ex than his shirt!!! Haha, damn joke.

Wah dunno why i keep seeing people around at vivo today, first hisham at top man, then jason at river island follow by abby at kim gary. Everybody go there shop shop walk walk. Haha. But really today walk literally non-stop for hours, walk until i kenna blister! Sianz.

MAYDAY, MAYDAY i repeat MAYDAY!!! I have an announcement to make! Its PEEISH's Birthday today! Happy Birthday Peeish, Mr mayday boy =)

Field Camp finally over

2009-04-19T17:19:00.003+08:00

This week quite sian, after field camp somemore book out so late on friday, no energy liao. Didn't know after wearing helmet for 1 week when take out that time the stupid aura still stays. My friend and i was called a bunch of bhuttos cause when we send arms walk there then walk back cause forgot bayonet then walk all the way back again cause forgot magazine then when finally return we forgot to take out 11b. Lols totally made a fool out of ourselves.

Just ploked on the bed and snooze only to wake up sat afternoon which i didn't do much also except making a trip to cheveron to buy some stuffs then at night went with parents back to IMM for ice-cream at swensons before going to meet joseph. Sian really damn stupid, at the highway there got turn right and turn left, both also can but i turn wrong direction ends up instead of meeting joseph i drove home first then took a bus there. ZZZ.

Sunday its stay home day today and well stone around at home again, scratching scratching, felt quite feverish too, but what to do, need to book back in. Field camp was over, finally but got exercise at tekong this week :( Another 4 days out in the field.... Sian man.

LPS

2009-04-04T16:26:00.006+08:00

Its the 2nd week of the course and i had a hell of a week. My appointment as LPS was very mentally draining, making me sleep less than the minimum 7 hours of sleep a day, friday was even worst, less than 5 hours of sleep only! Due to the many administrative and logistical stuffs i'm required to do, but without admin time. Its still manageable actually, but my LSM is really screwed up. Report strength also can add up wrongly, not count, just merely add 3 numbers also can add until got error, then this also never tell us, that also never relay, timings also give all the very imposisble timing, 6.10 finish pt, want us to be back in our bunks by 6.20!!! WTF Man, cause the whole company to kenna fuck big time, then appointment holders also kenna. Seriously, sux.

He everything little small thing also shout LPS, knn everybody gather around him also cannot tell them directly also need to tell us to tell them, really is wth. I hear ppl shout LPS shout until i nostalic sia...

Life back as a trainnee is like some disciples of some sage living up in the mountains. Chiong chiong chiong chiong chiong, then go back bunk take a well deserved rest, bathe and sleep, nxt day round 2... But my bunk counted as quite good already, everytime got like 5 -10 mins break, my section will gathering tgt play guitar, play drums, and sing song, cheap thrills for that few minutes before going back to chionging.

Whats does SCT stands for? Shag Cannot Think thats what most of us are, so shag that we cannot think properly

2009-03-29T11:32:00.002+08:00

Somemore wed got IPPT and friday SOC. Quite taxing on my mental and physical. Luckily i have very good bunkmates who strive each other to move on, as out of 14 of us, 7 are recoursee.

Booked out late on friday so ends up go grandmother's house nia. Then sat was spend stonning at home and sending my bike for repairs, man kenna complaint that i drive too slowly on the way to orchard. Haha, but hey ain't driving supposed to be relaxing? Went out at night to meet linton for supper and went over to esplanade as we got no where to go. Sounds quite pathetic, book out yet got no where to go... Anyway there is this great band there who was playing great music.

Sick 1 day before recourse

2009-03-22T17:24:00.004+08:00

Not feeling alright today as i had high fever, severe body ache and also vomited my breakfast out. Thought its going to be a very happy morning as i can finally drive my parents and grandfather out for breakfast, ends up i was so sick upon reaching thiong bahru and ordered porridge that i didn't even have the appetite and also vomited out my the few mouthful of porridge i forced myself to eat.

After a few hours of wrapping myself in blanket to sweat and while sleeping, i'm finally feeling better.

Drove to cut hair just now and the worst part is that everybody in the car park is looking at me parking!?!?! Damn stress, but as usual, wee hoe delivers =) Haha.

Happy Birthday Nurul

2009-03-22T00:12:00.000+08:00

Had a blast of a day catching up with alot of people yesterday. Booked out saturday morning from guard duty and went to JP to meet irene for breakfast.

After that went home to slack around before going all the way down to city hall area for dinner at HANIBI with my fellow hotel OOC's. Haha, sadly all of us are going on course starting tmr though each to a different course. Leonard to MP, Gabriel to RP, Sihao and Heath to medic, Deng to Armour Maintenance, Damien to ( craps i forgot ) and I got the most shiong of the lot, BSLC again. Haha. Talked alot as we ate, ordered like dunno how many plates of sashimis, eel, jellyfish, mackerel, soft shell crabs... After that as all of us are bloated, we walked down to paradiz for a game of dota before heading home.

Meet up with Nurul at bpp later for a cup of ice chocolate at starbucks before walking her home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NURUL =)

Recoursing pondering

2009-03-21T23:59:00.000+08:00

Sometimes life is so weird when the recourse is so far away, i'm looking forward to it, but yet when its like round the corner i'm kinda starting to dread it :(

Man this feeling of going all the way back to chiong shua suddenly feels so sucky to me, all the roll in the mud, all the sweaty uniforms, all the long runs and socs... Somemore everybody changed, OC changed, 2IC changing soon, CSM changed, PC changed, no more SECT COMMS, CQSM ORD.

Sianzzz, got a longing that maybe i should not be so garang and chiong BSLC again, just slack my way through medic course... Everybody keep asking me to slack all the way to ORD since mine is a permanent injury and its only recovered about 70-80% But i've chosen this way and have been very enthu about recoursing, so why am i feeling so sad now?

P plate

2009-03-20T17:57:00.001+08:00

A picture paints a thousand words and i think this picture is enough to say how my driving test went =)

Last week at guardroom

2009-03-18T00:15:00.003+08:00

Back in camp this week for only 2 days, yesterday and today and the best part of all there is no DUTY!!! Whee, so ends up watching movies all the time in the guardroom. Watched 21 again, then it was xmen : the last stand and also xxx and xxx2. Haha. Enjoying my last few moments of my slack army life in guardroom, as next week i'll be back on course again =) Its like finally. Kind of sick of being so slack for so long. Haha.

Ntu Bike Rally 09

2009-03-16T21:11:00.000+08:00

Went down to Computer fair after i booked out on friday. Saw on the news that it was packed even when it first open on thursday, and was kind of expected a huge crowd, but well crowd is definately there but not very packed i would say, the things they sold were quite cheap, notebooks were as low as $600 plus, some good deals too, 1TB harddisk for $199... Anyway meet up with my parents and my cousin at the fair before heading to chinatown for claypot dinner.

Sat morning was spent at nus open house with my bro, linton, weijiang and hariz. Technically i go there is just to accompany my bro nia, let him see got what courses so that he can aim and have some idea, while weijiang and hariz are planning to apply. After lunch at one of the canteen, everybody go different ways and mine's to the computer fair again to change the memory card i bought, it was faulty and on my second trip there i bought a earpiece from audio techinica, cost me a bomb but i still think its worth it.

Ntu bike rally early sunday morning at east cost park, lucky my dad agreed to send me and my bike there if not i will die. Haha. The journey's very shag especially when i didn't get to rest for 2 consecutive checkpoints and also some of the roads are so steep that people even dismount and push up the slopes! The most demoralising part is near yishun there where there are 8 consecutive hills to conquer! Near the end it rained like crazy but we continued after the rain have stopped ending at about 5pm.

Lucky i had off on monday, was aching like crazy all over with abit of sun burnt and spent half the day taking apart my bicycle to clean it before putting it back. Oh and my bike is spoilt! Dammit, cycle until spoil liao... I'm sooooo dead.

Drizzling Sunrise

2009-03-09T10:49:00.003+08:00

Drizzling Sunrise on saturday morning after a very cold night on the cold hard bench at east coast park! Played psp and cards while helping to look after the banners/fruits.... Didn't really sleep well cause first very cold second scared ppl steal stuffs, so keep waking up every 15 to 20 mins... Which goes on the explain why i KO at 8pm, supposed to go over to weiji's house to watch soccer at 8.30pm, tot of laying down on my bed before going out and who knows i'm KO before the count of 3! Haha.

Which then leads to me waking up at 4am yesterday. Chiong down to NTU for the bike rally briefing at 12.30 after my driving lesson, linton's crazy, driving at more than 120kmh reaching in about 15-20mins time and NTU is really CUI, 1 way in 1 way out for cars, the indoor sports hall is really CMI, then they say the pancake at canteen 2 is nice, but after spending $1 i don't know what i'm eating! Like erm fried waffle? Linton's house next on my itinerary, went to watch some very old shen diao xia lu movie from the 1980's. Then its all the way to Toa Payoh for dinner with Minhui, Peiqi and Joseph which ends with a game of pool =)

Off for today. I see more offs coming next week, man i need to clear my offs before my course start if not wasted sia. 3 offs nxt week. WOOTS. Anyway went for breakfast with parents at vivo this morning. Wheee what a way to start the week =)

Heng managed to talk to the manager and get it changed to movie tickets for He's Just Not That Into You. Treat Linton, Wei Jiang and Aaron for the show =) The show's quite nice, and its rated PG, man it needs to be changed to NC16 la with all those raunchy scenes...

Last few driving lessons

2009-03-01T00:32:00.000+08:00

My recourse is starting soon and i gotta train up. Very heng my duty on friday was canceled at the very last minute which spares me sometime to run and gym, now i'm aching like crazy.

Anyway after a long day and mad rush for driving lessons, went to esplanade library wanting to borrow scores but ends up we were too late and it was almost closed.

Kota Tinggi

2009-02-22T20:20:00.002+08:00

Applied leave and set off to Kota Tinggi in the late morning, its only about 40+ km up north of johor. Was surprised that there's an admission fee though.

Primary Waterfall i presume

Happy Birthday Gretchen

2009-02-22T20:03:00.002+08:00

Hmm, I wonder if late is a socially accepted norm? Was told to meet at 10.30am but people start to come at only 11.30. Wow.

Playing beach vball in the rain at sentosa was quite draining. At one point the wind was so strong that the rain hurts when it landed on our bodies! Hong Chin, Kevin and i surprised fei zhen and gretchen with a birthday cake during dinner at vivo.

Happy Birthday Gretchen and Happy Belated Birthday Fei Zhen

My meal! (stop drooling)

3 days of meditation

2009-02-20T23:52:00.002+08:00

Was posted back to the old guardroom so that means my 3 days workweek is gone! Quite sian cause the place is gloomy but the good thing is that i've alot of free time to sleep or think.

So this few words are the essence of my 3 days of meditation: 也许你没有我想的那么成熟

Friday night spent hanging around at suntec, brought my laptop around so was watching all the funny videos on youtube and as usual they go chio bu looking on facebook. Lols. Then after that its off to prata house for supper till 2am! Thats the good thing with guys and cars. Haha.

Zhng my bike?

2009-02-17T21:32:00.003+08:00

Should i just buy a 2nd hand road bike? Or just zhng my current bike? ( which is practically a complete overhaul ) cause my current bike sucks.... Argh...

Vday jam

2009-02-15T10:30:00.007+08:00

I shall let the pictures do the talking about my weekly cycling trip to east coast park and tour de singapore...

Sunrise !

Spore Flyer

Somehow or rather there is this super huge jam on the road on vday which caused a traffic standstill. Yeah, i know i spent vday cycling around Singapore. The jam started from just after far east plaza and stretches all the way till 6 avenue that area.

The vday jam =)

Anyway went home after that, sleep then off i go to meet joseph and joel at weiji's house to watch soccer and talking all the nonsense as usual. Its also when i had a sudden revalation that i'll be 20 soon. Lols. Time is running out...

Vday eve dinner at the glass house

2009-02-13T23:43:00.003+08:00

Had half day on friday, tot of going back to cj to play vball but nobody else could make it, ends up organising a class dinner. Vday eve dinner, well, its more like a gathering for all the single people so that they can be comforted. Lols, jkjk. Met ji and iz at orchard and wanted to eat at this steakhouse at cine but due to lack of seats we went out and headed towards the glasshouse, it was a long wait for a table which took us like about 30-40 mins? shuming, xiuting and andrew came along too.

What was very funny was the dinner at fish and co. They only ONLY have vday set meal for 2! No À la carte or what-so-ever. Just a set meal for 2 which comes with 2 soup/starters, 2 meals/1 platter for 2 and 2 drinks for $49+++ Isaac and shiming was making a lot of jokes about the vday meals cause like guy guy share vday meal abit funny then start calling each other dears... LOLS. Okay sounds grose, but yeah was damn funny. Ends up the 4 of us decided to share 1 set while xiuing and andrew shared the other.

Oh as you know 4 guys share 1 set meal is quite unfilling (esp you see iz, tsk tsk ) so yeah 2 slices of chocolate to satisfy our sweet teeth.

Sorry Bro

2009-02-12T19:26:00.003+08:00

Craps its damn sucky. Although i have a very good job, currently 3 days a week only! but then i always ends up go home the nxt morning and spend the remaining half day doing nothing constructive. Slack around, laze around, play awhile, think of doing some reading, i stress think, cause always ends up never do, time flies fast and soon its night time, 1 day of off is gone. Siao liao, i'm really wasting my precious life away...

Then also yeterday damn suay, mp4 player kenna stolen tgt with my expensive earpiece. Really feel damn bad, i think my bro's not mean't to give me electronic things. The first time he gave me a mp3 player, i put songs inside and brought it along with me to indonesia, then within that few days it was spoiled, it cracked and then its stolen! Then on tuesday he gave me a mp4 player to keep me entertained during guard duties, and guess what! It was stolen from my bag!!! Fuck, didn't even get to use then its gone. Damn sian la.... Sorry Bro :( I really hope you are not reading this. At least not until i've told you.

Tmr half day, dunno what to do, go home?( sure waste the half day again ) go out? ( but then everybody either army or uni ) go back cj ( only me and kev free and also dunno the new coach abit weird to go back and play vball ), go makan with class ( $$$ will fly again ). SIGH....

HAPPY CNY 2009

2009-01-25T23:36:00.004+08:00

I kind of realised i haven't bloged for ages. Been weeks, but i'm just plain lazy. Haha.

Finally the thing i dread about cny is finally done over with: its none other than buying clothes. Still can wear why buy new one? Somemore buy things must see mood one. The feeling of buying cause i'm forced to buy new clothes is apparently not very pleasant, somemore when i go vivo at 5pm only left 2 shops so chiong into river island and randomly grab one top. Whoo, alright 1 top for cny, at least can tahan tmr. Haha.

To everybody out there waiting for the count down, its about 20 mins more to CNY. Happy Chinese New Year in advance.

Xing Nian Kuai Le

The after wind

2009-01-16T23:37:00.001+08:00

Before i can do much i was being cast away to a new guardroom again. That's barely 1 week and i need to move again. Lols like some kind of tour like that, unpack for a night then pack up again to move to another place. The new guardroom is much better, do 24hrs of duty, then off the next day. But quite shiong cause although got 5 of us attached there, 3 rotate 7 day duty while me and another guy we do alternate days but for 5 days a week. So technically i have a 3 day week.

The very sian thing is that all my buddies for more than 6 months ( Old OOC's ) are all posted out except me and Heath, both of us are already attatched, me to guardroom, heath to HQ. Gab armour, Leonard signal, Darren ammo, Damien arti. The news came as a shock to me. The 6 of us are split up totally for good for now.

For all the good times and all the sai kang we endure through tgt, all the late night movies, all the kfc delivery, all the talk cock sessions, all the games we played, all the cleaning armskote, all the clearing store, all the setting up and helping out for the C2D visit... For all the dota games, all the talk cock sessions, all the basketball games, all the slacking time and friendly arguments thanks Gabriel the slacker. For all the tireless hard work, jokes, funny sounds with gabriel in the middle of the night, to leonard, its really my pleasure to know the other side of you ( other than the quiet side of you back in sji ) To deng for all his in-depth human character reviews, all the "i'm against you smoking thing", esp the joshua saga where he made you choose your smoke or pluck my leg hair and to damien, deng's smoking buddy, for your dunno what heart problem which we always laugh over as a vagina in the heart, all your animated talking to birds, ants, cockroaches..., i'm really glad to know you guys.

Booked out on friday night, chiong home to change before meeting irene at imm for dinner. Went to banquet for dinner and swenson's for ice-cream =) Yum yum

The big wind blow

2009-01-11T19:45:00.004+08:00

Had a bad start to the week. Was down with a very bad viral infection of the throat which leave me hainv a sore throat, high fever and sever aching. The doc gave me quite a number of medication but 1 which left me quite shiong is the super big and more powerful lozenges. Its like a very big sweet and leaves your tongue numb after that and oh purple in colour! Lols. Was down all the way till wednesday.

Upon retuning on thursday i was being blown away to the guardroom. ( attached there ) Its a very long story, resulting me to be posted there instead of the new OOCs. Practically its cause of 2 new OOCs. 1 totally can't speak english at all, that one i cannot and won't say anything, the other one is the one all the Old OOC's dun like, he go dunno talk to who, then the upstairs give order cover his backside. KAO. Nvm bah, its time to move on i guess, so off i go to the guard room with a heavy heart, going back to hotel every now and then to talk to the other Old OOCs.

By firday i'm dead bored over at the new guardroom, cause the whole place is really very dark and gloomy like a death house like that, just that got aircon and also duty is watch cctv. The good thing is there's a lot of free time cause if you not on duty, you can practically go anywhere, do anything, just dun get into trouble can already. So ends up play basketball on thursday afternoon, then friday was so bored that i did push ups and sit ups for fun. Yes i'm trying to keep myself sane in the gloomy, dark and dusty death house. Then spend the most of the other times watching movies, watched click, initial D, prison break.... Booked out early on friday, left at exactly 5pm, then happen to meet irene at boon lay mrt station, quite qiao.

Went home after that to meet linton and aaron for dinner at balastier. The bah kut teh was damn shiok, imbar. Haha. Want to watch red cliff 2 after than but we went late so no space, ends up we bought tao huay zui and tao huay to marina barrage to celebrate payday! Its quite nice to sit down and lie on the windy grass patch. Then we're damn bored so we 3! 2! 1! PAYDAY!!! CHEERS! Then came the sprinklers! Lols. Everybody's laughing at us while we quickly cover our food and chiong out to the nearest benches. Then we sit down there and continue to talk till about 1 when it started to drizzle. Somehow or rather, we decided to run for fun, haven't ran in a long while especially when its so windy. Ran pass this bunch of hot girls who are laughing at us running -_-" but heck la running seems more fun so heck them, before driving home.

Met joseph, weiji and joel at marina for dinner and watch red cliff 2 on sunday just before booking in :(

Just when i thought i'm immune from the big wind blow of the economic crisis, i'm being blown away to the guard room...

First week of the year

2009-01-04T21:02:00.004+08:00

This week is another short week with new year celebration on a thursday which means book in thursday night just to book out friday night. Haha. Anyway due to some commanders talk and stuffs the Old OOC's are released late so chionged home and then immediately cycled to linton's house to play tennis with him and abby. Actually can play 2v2 but weiyi didn't wanna come cause she just bathed :( Anyway we played till the lights went off at about 10 plus then bathed and out we go for supper picking up aaron on the way. Travelled half the island before turning one round and end up at thompson road eat prata but its not the prata house that side, its some shop houses down the road. Tot it was 24hrs so we played PES 08 first then ends up they close at 12am and we're being chased out! Bo bian lor so send abby home first before going to al-ahzar but man it was full, ends up at kap.

Sat morning i got my driving simulator lesson and i really think the simulator sucks, crashed into almost everything, the people also waiting for your car to come to dash out and let you bang. Lols. Some car also purposely open their door to let you bang. Really the lmao kind and also see the simulator for long will get dizzy also. Afternoon met weijie at Aljunied for lunch before going to his company called Long Far International i think. Its the MLM thingy, where they sell many things got dunno what pai du mei ren bao, dunno what bust enhancing serum, dunno what oxygen mask thingy then pay 3.6k upfront for the items then every month minimum get $400 bucks and can easily go up to 5 figure digit of salary. They really dun want to let me go la, keep asking more and more people to talk to me first was 2 then put me in this small lecture then still cannot then ask their youngest regional director come talk to me and stuffs, wah really mental torture like interrogation like that la for about 4 hours plus! Pressure cooker style to force me to sign the thing. Managed to get away without signing anything by the time i'm mentally drained.

Chiong down to holland village at night and thinking i reached i alighted only to find out that i've stopped 4 stops earlier! Lols. Wait damn long just for another bus to go that 4 stops causing me to be super late like 20 mins. But guess what i'm still early la, when i reach no one is there except yinling and cheryl who were inside starbucks. Meet up with the rest and went to wala wala for dinner. Yes sounds weird, normally is like makan already then go there to drink, the go there to eat then go priscilla condo to drink! Haha, thats what happen when you got a drunkard insisting and the organiser unknowingly following. Haha. Pooled money to buy vodka and green tea and coke i think, while others went to buy ice-cream. Took mrt to pris condo and gathered at the guardhouse there to drink. As usual i didn't drink, drank only green tea, but i think i'm drunk on alcohol vapour, keep helping ppl pour and stuffs. Lols. Talked from about 10 plus all the way till about 3am by the tie Yinling was about to get drunk, Tian was self confessional, Wenny talked alot more and going to the toilet alot of times, Mingli was damn cold, Liu pu was
knocked out. Weiyi drove and ends up a chauffeur for Wenny as she's the only one who stayed far far away from Choa Chu Kang. Haha.

Ushering in 2009

2009-01-01T13:30:00.000+08:00

All which starts well ends well, and its the same bunch of friends which ended my 2008 in a high note, well they are none other than linton, aaron and weijiang. Met up with them in the afternoon after book out to go ice skating at kallang! Its quite cheap i think $17.50 for 2 hours including rental of skates. Man ice skating is damn addictive! My second time skating and i'm learning quite well, finally understood what tim say about skating on ice and walking on ice. Haha. I skated for the first time. The feeling of moving around freely is damn shiok. Saw this quite attractive girl and linton just had to smash the nice picture of her by saying some insensitive remark. BASKET

Anyway we decided to eat katong laksa. Didn't know it came without chopsticks at first and was desperately looking for it. Haha. Then went to park the car at fort canning before walking down to esplanade not before making a detour to buy tao huay. The walk down took us quite sometime and filled with many people who are trying to find some place to watch the fireworks. The irritating thing when we reach esplanade is that they want to play the lift again, wth spent last year's new year playing lift now 1 year older liao still want to play with the lift. ZZZ. Managed to pursuade them to stop and go out enjoy the nice cold sea breeze and music from some local band. Wouldn't say the songs are good lah but at least add some life to the half Singaporean half BANGALA crowd. Man seriously they are really everywhere and they are those who chiong all the way to the front and stand hear the edge to get the best sea view while others sit on the grass patch some even lay on the grass and takes up so much space.

The funny thing is that when the fireworks started, everybody rushed forward then i stand behind got all the space and also got a good view. Lols all rush forward to squeeze with the BANGALAS. Anyway the fireworks only lasted 8 mins and theres an accompanying music to go along with it! After the fireworks, there is a mad rush for everybody to go to the mrt station, lucky linton drove then we slowly make our way down to orchard. Wah if not i see the huge crowd going into the mrt station i think will really squeeze for an hour or so and sure squeeze until damn sian and damn sticky also. By the time reach his car the jam at orchard lessen already and we headed home, at least in that direction lah. Haha, stopped by al-ahzar but it was full so ends up at KAP for light supper before going home.

Bye 2008

2008-12-31T17:09:00.000+08:00

Bid farewell to 2008, a year of joy and tears. Many milestones have passed, while many more lies ahead. A year where some goals have been achieved while others still have some way to go. A year where people you know no longer are the ones you used to know, be it a change physically or psychologically.

A year where we saw a sky high inflation rate with crazy oil prices and also the lowest the economy gets since the great depression. A year where the dragon of the east have woken, the best Olympics ever in human history, phelps: a man whos more dolphin than man with 8 gold medals, a melamine food scare... A year ended with a war between Hamas and Israel.

Last but not least and most importantly, with "Change we can believe in" comes the first black president of America : Barrack Hussein Obama.

In short it has been a bittersweet year.

Now comes the time of the year to make new resolutions for the upcoming year. New aims, new targets, new goals...

Merry Christmas

2008-12-28T19:01:00.002+08:00

Hah i always seemed to be catching up with my posts, finally i caught up i hope...

Haha. There is also a new rank: white half chevrons and called SCT sama like OCT like that then the best part increase pay! by $90 plus $20 increment next year for everybody thats $110! $$$$ i'm cash-strapped now i see the end of my misery in sight...

Wednesday's christmas eve and half day today! WOOTS. Went out with my cousin and my bro to orchard in the evening. Ends up its a walking christmas for us. Walked from far east plaza to paragon for dinner at ding tai feng. Damn shiok. Then we decided to walk away from orchard cause people all spray spray spary very irritating so walked down to plaza sing then to city hall and finally esplanade just in time for count down. Over there its like 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! then ohh, christmas already ar? Orh. No atmosphere there except for the bars. Haha, then we walked down to clarke quay but then reach already then realise that my bro cannot drink so ends up walk around and home sweet home.

Christmas, well did practically nothing except went out with my neighbours i knew from my europe trip to have a game of bowling and lan before booking in :( To make it even worse i'm the only OOC booking in that night! The rest all on leave except for 1 who had a morning appointment friday morning. Lucky got someone to ease the pain =)

Time to book out again on friday, its like booking in and out, the process is quite sian but at least booking out is something to look forward to. Chiong home to change then its a mad rush down to heath's house for a gathering at his super luxurous bungalow. His swimming pool itself is already bigger than my living room! His award-winning-design bungalow is simply beyond words. Can't believe he went through all the trouble to buy a turkey, ham, fish and much more for dinner. Really appreciate it. He also went the effort to buy an xbox before we came as his old xbox died 2 days before. Lols, still got his whole shelf of spirits to help ourselves to.

Saturday spend the day with my parents as they go shopping for bargains. Lols really everywhere sale sia, GAP 3 piece above 50% off, Esprit up to 40% off, G2000, Giordano concepts... Lols everywhere. But didn't buy anything lols.

Learned many things today. Discovered some too. First was driving, finally found the essence in good driving. Driving no longer became driving again. At least so far to today for a start for that 100 minutes. Was bored in the afternoon cause nobody knows if peesheng's lunch is still on anot then kenna stucked at home so went out for a cycle. Thats when i learn alot about the bicycle and parts at the bicycle repair shop but not after an accident. Hah, i'm really lucky to survive it without any scratch but my bike was scratched like OUCH! Heart pain! I'm still slowly finding my internal injuries, discovered 3 blue patches of blue black so far and still finding...

How God create Man

2008-12-24T17:33:00.002+08:00

GOD created the DONKEY and told him, 'You will work tireless from sunrise up to sunset, carrying heavy bags on your back, you will eat grass. You will not have intelligence and you will live 50 years. You will be a DONKEY!' The DONKEY answered, 'I will be a DONKEY, but living 50 years is too much, give me only 20 years!' and GOD gave him 20 years.

GOD created DOG and told him ' You will look after man's house, you will be his best friend, you will eat whatever they give you and you will live 25years, You will be a DOG!' The DOG answered 'GOD, living 25 years is too much, give only 10 years!' and GOD gave him 10 years.

GOD created the MONKEY and told him, 'you will jump from branch to branch you will do silly things, you will be amusing and you will live 20 years, you will be a MONKEY!' The MONKEY answered ' GOD, living 20 years is too much , give me only 10 years!' and GOD gave him 10 years.

Finally,

GOD created MAN and told him, 'you will be a MAN the only rational being on this earth and you will use your intelligence to control other animals, you will dominate the world and you will live for 20 years. The MAN answered, GOD I will be a man but living 20 years is not enough, why don't you give me the 30 years that the DONKEY refused, the 15 years that the DOG didn't want and the 10 years that the MONKEY refused ?'

That was exactly what GOD did, and since then: MAN lives 20 years like a MAN, then he gets married and spends 30 years like a DONKEY, working and carrying the load on his back. Then, when his children leave he spends 15 years like DOG looking after the house and eating whatever is given to him. Then he gets old, retires and spends 10 years like a MONKEY, jumping from house to house or from children to children, doing silly things to amuse his grandchildren!

Off to Malaysia

2008-12-21T22:56:00.004+08:00

1 year into our graduation

Its the last week of the down period. Nxt week got trainees already. Sianz... no more staying out :(

Went to Malacca early monday morning, my dad decided to drive there. Went through the new malaysian causeway, its not bad, and its operating on tuesday the next day =) So can say we're one of the last few to use the old causeway building. The journey there is quite far about 2-3 hours of drive about 200+ km. When we reach there is really wow! their buildings are like those china town kind quite run down and some black black ones. Went to their coffee shop for lunch and also bought parking coupons. Its damn cheap, its like 40sen for half hour, 60 sen for 1 hour! Lols but i realise most parking spaces have attendants and they charge like 1 time entrance free of 1 ringgit or 2.

The idea of driving around is very fun lah, just pack a few stuffs like a change of clothes, some money and food a map and OFF we go. After trying our best to follow the map we gave up, their maps is really cmi, 1 got say road name but never say place of attractions. One got name of attractions but the road is aga aga one cause that one must take bus. Then the other one got road details and hotel names only. The worst part is that, the road there is so different, some one way some 2 way. On the map see can go through but on the road cannot go through cause 1 way. Damn irritating, take damn long just to go 1 place. Anyway went to jonker's street to eat the chicken rice ball, went to ching ho heritage museum, baba nonya heritage museum, Portuguese village, megamall... The clothes they sell there is cheap, but then the fashion is like all those malaysian chinese kind, then the clothes in those shop like mango and esprit kind lookes okay but then its not cheap. Sian ends up never buy anything, go there walk walk nia. Oh btw their seafood is damn nice and cheap. Had pepper crabs =) its only 36 ringgit per KG and its delicious.

By tuesday we sort of know the roads in Malacca inside out liao, zoom around went to a church to have a look, zoom around somemore before leaving malacca.

Wednesday book in :( sian booked out on thursday after my medical appointment at jurong medical center. Guess what, i saw Gabriel! Haha he also going there for treatment, sat down and have a talk before i make my way home.

Friday, half day today cause we chiong finish everything which needs to be done then we're released. Actually this half day is say nice only cause they eat our saturday morning, though i booked in to book out like a few hours later, the idea was still in general wonderful. Met up with the class for a gathering in the evening. Many things happened like the sudden disappearance of lynette (who agreed to go aston's to queue up before hand and turned up late! ) With a 40 man queue tim and i decided to change to manhattan fish market. I'm damn lucky as i managed to book a table in such short notice. Soon everybody came, shuming, isaac, jacq, xiuting, andrew, lynette, minhui, peiqi, weiji, gerard, gabriel, jasmine, even wenxi and co. and shin and co. came! Dinner was great, and oh lynette and minhui baked ginger bread man for everybody. Thanks. Many people changed, be it lookes, be it personality, probably its what people call growing up.

Sat morning was a mad rush down to tekong ferry terminal at 7am! Meet up with the rest before walking through the nostalgic bridge towards some penguin ferry heading for tekong. Went there to sort out and double check dockets for the new trainees which means no more staying out :( dammit. Then met up with linton to go shopping for chirstmas, okay sounds wrong, more he ask me to accompany him to shop for stuffs. Bought a polo tee for my bro while he bought stuffs. The damn wierd thing is the shopping for female clothes part. Walao, 2 guys in the female section looking for female clothes is damn weird. Went to recee dempsey road for another class gathering i'm planning. Lols that place is damn class, lols ppl sit around drink wine can't really make noise so i guess, its out of bounds for now.

Met up with joseph for breakfast after my driving, which i almost accident again. Haha.

H-I-V!

My Bro's BACK!

2008-12-14T22:19:00.003+08:00

Another short week again cause Monday's Hari Raya. Woots.

Went home on Thursday for fun. Sian, by bro overseas, then suddenly my house so quiet, found it quite weird. Then book in back on Friday just to go around doing nothing much before going to the gym and then book out! Yeah, went home for a while before meeting Shu Ming at bpp for dinner at the streets. Sat down and talked for a while and bought tennis balls! 10 for $15 bucks! Ouch. Then later went to jurong point to meet irene for supper. Haha. Walked around and went to the new wing in jurong point, its much bigger, brighter and also classier than the old wing, but sadly things there also more expensive.

Saturday was quite a day for me. Met weiyi at 7am for breakfast before going to play tennis. Suppose to meet linton and abby for tennis also, but say meet at 8 then ends up linton came at 9.00 and abby came at about 10. Lols so didn't get to play 2v2. By the time everything ended it was about 12 then linton, abby and me head to linton's house to play soccer and bball until 3pm. Aaron came long to play too.

Went to fetch my bro from the airport, as he came back from vietnam OCIP. Was quite bored cause his plane landed abit later than stated. Haha but was glad he's back =) Yay

Saturday, joseph came over for gym then lunch at subway before he go church while i go home. Then meet up again after his church for dinner before walking over to ji's house to watch soccer. YES! i'm right, man city drew fullham 1-1. Haha.

Picked up Aaron at about 10pm before going to serangoon gardens coffee bean where we sat down and talk and have a game of soccer in out psp before sending her home.

Happy Birthday Linton. Ps missed your bdae by like 2 mins. Haha

I got my tan back

2008-11-30T23:17:00.002+08:00

This week is filled with a lot of sun tanning. Not exactly tanning just happened to be under and sun and i got my tan back! Woots.

First theres monday where we played basketball under the scorching sun for about 3 hours! Shio! Tiring but fun, run around abit jump abit still exercising caution due to my ankle. Then that night linton drove me out to accompany him to refund his bicycle holder he bought from carrefour. The best part he threw away his receipt and thanks to the helpful girl at the customer service that he managed to get his refund by searching through the long list of receipts. After that went for Tao Huay before heading home.

Tuesday was swimming where i try to even out my tan but i couldn't! Damn.

Wed was nothing so was Thurs as we were all burnt! Painful to touch, even carrying bag to book out hurts. Yes book out cause friday's off for all the hard work last week =) Got a funny incident which happen on thursday during physio, this guy tot i was malay and talked to me in malay! Lols. Then i was stunned, he see i was stun then he stun also.

Firday i went driving and accident prone as usual. I hit the light on the cone, PING! then the instructor looked at me and i looked back at him before driving off. Haha. And guess what, before the lesson i saw someone with the surname called OOI!!! Haha. Nice surname.

That night went out with my parents and bro to watch Madascar 2! DAMN FUNNY. OMG its a must watch for all those muggers who just finish their uni exams! Strongly recomended. Manhantan fish market for dinner is good, its better than fish and co i think, though ambience not as good as the glass house but the food is much better and cheaper and suprisingly full too. And oh met Jacq too, she was with her mum walking around ps. Damn i tot i saw someone who resembles her with a guy at times the bookshop then msged her "whos that guy?", damn malu pls.

Sat was a horrible day until at night. Spent the afternoon at my condo's AGM, saw Mr Wong there also and he left halfway. Infact i left halfway also after about 2 hours plus of nonsense. This group of retirees want to overthrow the old commitee and then made a lot of nonsense remarks. Spent the first hour talking about whether to remove the legal advisor to the commitee cause the old dude scared say wrong things then later kenna sued. Then the next hour spent discussing about the proxies the advantages disadvantages and should we use or not and to count the validity. DAMN, no doubt learn abit here and there but mostly really waste time recapping what has been said.

That night at least not bad, met joseph for a cycle around the estate going all the way to jurong and back, went past many places, ji's house, science centre... wanted to go botak jones but closed. Crap, so ends up at boss's house downstairs for prata from 11 plus till about 1.30am. Lols. Long talk, long catch up before he prepare for book in for duty on sunday. Damn he super suay lah. Haha. This week also quite GG for him. Oh well.

Today com fair with my cousin. Honestly i spent quite abit today. 30 bucks on 2 magazines when i met my cousin at vivo at page one. The journey to vivo is pissing, watiting 40 mins for the bus and another 40 mins for the journey, causing me to be almost late. Then had lunch before travelling to Expo for the computer fair, and mind you the crowd is really crowd. So many people until you see also sian then must squeeze with them. Sianz. Oh met irene there, actually more of saw lah cause divided by a lot of ppl so didn't shout to say hi. Actually i planned to go there and go home empty handed cause honestly theres nothing much to see needless to say buy. Then i came across this sony earpiece which i got it at a good deal, 45 sell 26! A noise isolation earpiece made by sony with enhance bass and sound quality for 26 bucks its a good deal, as compared to the 29 bucks earpiece from creative, its more durable.

At this rate i'm going broke soon :(

Currently i've got tan lines which resembles sports bra OMG!!!

C2D Visit

2008-11-23T22:37:00.003+08:00

If you any of you have read today's Sunday Times you'd have read about the report from Mindef regarding the missing pen guns. This happened on Tuesday when people from Temasek Poly came over for their national education visit. We set up many things for them to enjoy, from shows to demostrations to tasting of food to firing blanks. Quite shiong as we have to clean up every thing in our company line including the bunks and also prepare the bunks for them to see how we arrange our cupboards and stuffs. Also they get to see how the SAR21, SAW, MATADOR, M203... work with the cut out versions for them to see. Including firing blanks and also the pen gun. Yes pen gun, they are the size of your usual pens and they are used to fire small flares.

The big ho-ha lies in the fact that after the people from TP played with the flares, some of them hand itchy to kope the pen flare and kept it. The worse thing is that the pen flares which are missing include the flares themselves THE PROJECTILES!!! So camp kenna lock down, everybody barred to go home. They even engage some outside group of military police to come over to interview and search everybody. Actually i can go home early, but due to that stupid incident i can only leave camp at 11.30pm! Damn. And oh, they found this girl with 2 unexpanded blanks in her bag, i heard kenna detained.

Wednesday was also poly visit but this 2 poly didn't cause any trouble. Everything went out well and smooth except for the rain which cause some inconveniences.

Friday was the ASLC graduation. Before that have to spent the whole of Thursday setting up all the decorations like flags, banner, cammo netting.... Sai kang as usual. But sometimes quite fun cause the sgt also play and talk cock with us. Played basketball that afternoon while waiting for the graduation ceremony to end, when it ended we chiong to remove everything and then BOOK OUT. Whoo. After that parents brought me to suntec to buy my bicycle helmet and a bottle holder for my bike. All prepared for the long journey tomorrow.

Saturday wad a crazy day for me, went cycling again from my house to east coast park and back! Went out in the morning then stop by orchard plaza sing for lunch as usual. And off we go towards east coast park, while linton trying desperately looking for some place to sell the bike holder ( damn i suddenly cannot remember the actual name for it, i shall leave it at that first ) to no avail. Soon enough it started to rain and we camped inside carl's jr waiting for both the rain to stop and zhuo min for dinner. The kids there are damn noisy. After dinner i chionged to batok to meet joseph before going to weiji's house to watch soccer while linton chionged home and then drive to weiji's house.

Thats my week. One that is full of things for me to expand my engergies. Time for a good rest

Last week

2008-11-17T01:30:00.001+08:00

Its the last week of 49th BSLC, which means i've been there for damn long. Like about 5 months already. Nothing much happening around except for the usual sai kangs which we're required to do. And also on friday there's the 28km route march. Lucky this time got their new ooc to go outfield so we stay back behind at coy line to do admin work as our ASA kenna duty clerk. So we had to help him sort all the posting things out. This batch not as bad as the last one, we know what to expect so finish somethings in advance. Also i prepared food to eat, bought vita soy 1 ltr and 2 cup noodles to tahan the night. But ends up that night never get to eat those food, as we ordered KFC!

Talking about that, we ordered 16 pcs of chicken but they only gave 12 pcs. Then when we call them back, they say sorry, as all the drivers have gone home, they will either refund us or send us the chicken the next morning. I was like wtf, they got drivers to refund us the money no drivers to send us extra chicken -_-" Lols they the operator like tio stun also then say will call us back later then they send us the 4 pieces of chicken.

That night didn't get to sleep, supposed to sleep one then heath suppose to be the CDT, he felt asleep like a dead log and didn't pick up the coy phone! Fuck then i have to stand in for him and sleep on the chair while he sleep on the safari bed enjoying the air-con. Damn him. To keep myself awake i watched tv channel 8 till about 3am. Got this very nice olden show they played from 1am till 3am. By the time it was about 4 plus they start to come back from their march and making alot of noise.

Saturday booked out in the afternoon after settling their platoon store for them, then rush home to wash up and off i go to meet weiji and isaac for quantum of solace. Okay lah the movie quite nice, but as i already know the whole show, theres no twist for me at the part where the oil and water thingy. Still action quite okay lah, just that i find there's a lack of cool and new gadgets. Just alot of actions and actions and actions. Like my friend say, jump jump and jump, he jumps too much in this movie.

Nothing much on sunday also other than go IMM with my parents to buy groceries. Wanted to buy durian but ends up sold out. Damn, ends up went to eat BK instead.

Oh yeah, this week also i can't remember when should be wednesday bah or tuesday bah, went out to clark quay for nights out. As usual they went drinking again, they decided to try this bar where they have 10 drinks for $38 bucks. The drinks are the damn cheap kind, they say mixed drinks but they only allow mix for coke sprite all those with whiskey, vodka, rum, tequilla... The atmosphere there also sucks and theres nobody there also. Then they went over to this other shop at clark quay and drank again. They dunno drank what balies or smth screwdriver also, while i enjoy my iced chocolate. Hah.

This weekend is chui sia, 3 nights sleep 8 hours in total. Tmr morning sure super shag, hope i dun book in late can already.

Perfect Weekend almost...

2008-11-09T17:24:00.002+08:00

This week in camp is not that bad, on Monday there's Urban Ops, outfield! Not bad my role is to they them role play as an engineer and mobster and ..... Got 1 part they never really check my engineer bag properly then i brought a gun into their secure area and hold hostage!!! Though not supposed too but heck we had fun. Whee managed to make 1 guy drop his SAR21 !!! Gabriel tried to pull it off again with another section but he didn't managed to. Haha. But i must say that group was good, it was the only group we tried 3 in 1 but they managed to hold on though the unexpected crisis that we pranked. Was wearing some civilian clothes on that damn hot day that I was chao da-ed and started to peel. Damnit.

Had attend C for Tuesday and Wednesday just in case you're wondering why i'm online. Was down with flu, cough and sore eyes.

Friday night after book out went with my mum and bro to sentosa for Song of the Sea. Don't ask me why but we went. It was okay lah, the songs were as usual the -.-" kind but whats nice is the 'performance' of the water and the fireworks. The sprouting water and the balls of fire and the crackling of the fireworks. Whoupediu.

Woke up late on Sat and first thing was oh shit i'm gonna be late and its a mad rush for me to meet Xiuting, Andrew, Minhui, Weiji, Isaac, Don and Lynette at sembawang and we had lunch there. Went for Swami after that, wow i'm like as what xiuting says rare appearance. Haven't been there for ages, but will be there when there's big big big events. Went to help push the elderly around, on a trip to Singapore River and the Esplanade. Some of the elderly are happy and they open up to us (isaac's elderly), some can't wait to go home (weiji's), some requires constant reassurance (lyn's and another gal's elderly), others kept quiet (minhui's), while others are just persistently unresponsive ( mine, yeah tried to talk to him in 5 diff languages to no avail, and i bet he is a racer when he's young, he keeps want to move faster even down slopes! ) After helping them back on the bus we fall out from esplanade and went for dinner at KFC. Damn i'm really going to get fat soon. Luckily i burnt some fats when i went for gym after i reached home.

Sunday whee driving, also the best lesson so far, first time went outside and i passed like 1.05,1.06,1.07 i think at 1 go. The feeling of 70km/h is damn relaxing and fun pls. Now i'm like super looking forward to my next driving lesson.

This weekend is my best in ages. After weeks of stonning part of my weekend away, or spent it slogging off infront of my computer screen watching 30rock, bleach.... I'm kinda bored of wasting my precious book out time on non-meaningful non-constructive things. At least i did something for the greater good of all. Something meaningful and well, the times are enjoyable especially with company.

My perfect weekend almost...

Happy Birthday to Me! lols

2008-11-02T15:12:00.003+08:00

Outlook from my house

Lols, what an uneventful birthday in army, partly cause first i didn't get my bday off and second i'm sick that day with sore throat and slightly feverish. Thanks everybody for their well wishes =)

This past week is outfield also, so i'm kinda slack in army. Whole day read read and more read, i'm starting to get sick of reading already. Oh well the interesting thing this week would be their UO where its gonna be fun acting as civilians. Heh. One by one by friends take attend C for tmr, craps so far i know 2 person already. I feel like taking attend C too, but my morals forbid me ( nice try ) Haha.

Booked out early on friday cause i went for physio then met up with Darryn and Heath at marina as they want to go drinking. So this time we went to Oyster ( i think the shop is named like that ) its some belgium bar and this time i got myself i cup of TOMATO Juice, they were as usual wtf wee hoe again. Haha. They ordered some spirits and beer and we shared 500g of Oysters cooked with white wine and they smell like the sewer! Lols.

Saturday didn't do much other than accompanying Irene to BBDC. Supposed to go out then ends up staying at home till about late evening then met up with Joseph for dinner and instead of going weiji's house to watch soccer we decided to go play pool instead. Wah rusty liao, its like 2 months since we last played, that time was after AHM at marina where someone broke specs! Haha. Anyway we're still out of form, damn the games lasted damn long cause we missed quite a bit, longkao also quite a bit.

Sunday today nothing also lor, stonning around whole day. Waiting for book in. Man had a good game of dota just now though with weiji. I need something to keep me occupied other than listening to music and stonning. AH 30 rock, here i come...

2008-10-27T17:42:00.003+08:00

Well this past week is field camp week for the trainees that means its supposedly to be a slack week for me but ends up more shiong cause have to do sai kang as those going out field to help out say they go outfield so people like me who cannot go outfield have to do more sia kangs in camp like fill jerry cans, collect close to 200 plus rations for everymeal everyday. I've become the fastest food packer amongst all of them. Heh.

Also cause got foreigners visit so have to wash the whole freaking coy line and the lvl 2 bunks. Machiam we like free maids like that, the trainees go outfield we help them clean up their MESS. DAMN really like pig sty.

Friday is the shiong one, i cdt plus coy got section live firing, from morning till night, when they finish it was about 2-3 am. Plus unload equpiments, clean rifle, wash this wash that throw rubbish... until 5am. Then they continue to shout and shout and shout till 5.20am then say 6am stand by area (sba). Thinking got 40 mins of sleep, i grab 2 chairs and just sleep didn't even set up the safari bed, then came a call at 5.45 to ask cos to go flag raising. DAMNIT then didn't sleep till book out on sat morning. Burnt whole sat sleeping then at night go orchard with linton, met vince and lian fei there before going home. Ends up go orchard for 2 hours nia. Zzz.

Sunday went out with parents to the Singapore Flyer ( i'll post the pics up nxt week, no time now ). Man really had the best timing at the evening, when we go up, the sun was setting and set'ed' when we came down in a ride which took slightly more than 30mins. Rush down to meet the class at swensons plaza sing for o' times sake. Okay lah everybody still more or less the same cause like meet them quite often esp joseph, weiji, isaac, vince, joel, gerard. Managed to see some rare apparences from fang hui, tim, jasmine, gabriel. Missing from the outing are 2 very LOUD and NOISY people namely Pei Qi and Min Hui. Isaac was as usual entertaining us with his thick-skinned jokes about his muscles and his spartan mindset. Haha. After that tim, iz, joel, joseph and me all chiong to weiji's house to watch CHELSEA VS LIVERPOOL. Whoo missed the one and only goal. Darn... And iz was playing dota...

After that chiong home, reach about 12 then linton called to go for prata 5 mins later so poof i'm out of the house within minutes. Wanted to play pool after prata but as it was already 1.30am the shop is closed so we went around aimlessly. He drove us down to orchard where we saw an accident ( a WRX in a long kang ) then down to singapore flyer then shenton way then tanjong pagar then harbour front then queensway then holland road then clementi before finally going home. By the time, it was already 3 plus am. Ahhh, SHAG but fun sia, no car, no erp and some road whole stretch green light.

Monday is today. Today is monday. Yay its deepavali, its a public holiday, its my bro's birthday, yay, and its book in day, damn. Went out with Joseph in the morning to play bball till afternoon where we go batok to eat and its journey home at about 4pm when it started raining. Wasted another weekend again. Argh need to do something more productive, be it academically, physically, socially... NEED TO MUG.

Man this week is like wow, its gone again so fast. Had my MRI scan on monday, the whole freaking scan took like 30 mins and its like at 5.30pm at AH, by the time i book back in its about 8 plus already.

Wednesday got early nights out and 4 of us Darren, Heath, Si Hao and me went out for dinner at manhatten fish market at PS. Wooh, the food there is nice, and cheaper than at Fish and Co. I think can really give Fish and Co a run for its money. Haha. Had flame prawns for dinner. After that went to Irish Bar to have a drink, they drank dunno what martini then screwdriver... lols, i stick to my $5 worth of earl grey tea. Kinda expensive but great tea. Ends up Heath was drunk when he finish his 3 drink of the day dunno what long island tea or smth like that. He was like walking and walking then keep saying i'm not drunk then walk awhile and then suddenly laugh at nothing (Hmm, that reminds me of someone, Haha, i wonder who) Lols the scary part when he suddenly come and hug me!! I was like STUNNED!!! Okay so we managed to grab a cab put him in the front seat just in case he hugged someone again and he fell asleep. Went back to came and just when we tot he was sober, he suddenly laugh at nothing when we reach our bunk! Lols but lucky he managed to pull himself to go for a shower which after that he's fine. Phew. But yeah burnt $50 bucks that nights out.

Friday was my mum's birthday so went out with my family to vivo and had swensons there, the swensons there is different theres free salad too and several other obvious differences. Then we took our time to walk around vivo, by the time we reach home its about 12 plus already.

Friday that also was when damien did something very funny. It was after our area cleaning where we sweep the floor clean windows, fan, wash toilet with fire hose.... took about more than 1 hour then just when we're waiting for 6.45 to come to be able to book out, we were all lying on our bed when a bird landed on the window beside Damien. He just turn his head and said to the bird " ooi, who says you can shit there" !!! Lols, damn funny lah. Haha.

Saturday well met up with joseph and joel to go weiji house to watch soccer at night. First match was some chelsea match which we didn't watch much and talked instead, the second match we watched was the liverpool vs wigan one, then we watch till wigan leading 2-1 then we all so sian diao and tired that we all fall asleep... Woke up at the last 10 mins just nice to see a red card to a wigan player and the spectacular comeback by liverpool to win 3-2. Haha. Tyco scissors kick. Cycle home after that at about 12am, quite scary when the vehicles move pass you at fast speed and somehow or rather i managed to reach home in about 10-15 mins of mad chionging in order to reach home early. When i got home my arms and legs are so sore that i can hardly even type... Haha. I'm getting unfit and fat.

Oh well Happy Birthday Mum.

Something on my mind

2008-10-01T22:53:00.004+08:00

Had a convo with Peeish yesterday and somehow or rather i'm kinda affected by a statement of his :( You always like to say something which affects people but don't want to say the most important thing. I've made a painful decision several weeks ago but yet you're making me having doubts in my decision again.

Peeish ar Peeish, tell me who said that, it might not matter much to you, but it matters a lot to me.

I'm trying but i'm lost.

Damn the new oocs

2008-09-28T11:23:00.004+08:00

The new batch just started and in the first week got 8 oocs already. The new oocs are seriously fucked up. Yes fucked up, i'm that pissed. The 6 old ooc (oooc) that me and 5 other buddies from the previous batch we asked to supervised them, in shifts. We had to guide them for 12 hours 7am to 7pm so we split to 2 person 4 hours shifts each so at least theres some lao jiao to guide the new oocs while they all have to stay in the office from morning till night. Then got this guy cbcb say double standard and try to push push and spoil market. We oooc can wear admin so he go wear also and come down then the upstairs people not happy so feedback down then we also cannot wear admin. We oooc can do shift so we got time to rest in bunk so he bargain bargain ends up all 14 people take turns do shifts of 3 hours each. Then the thing about shifts is that if got things to do all must come down, and they make use of this and ALL STAYED UPSTAIRS. Left the 6 of us to do all the work. WTF! They supposed to do work yet they stayed upstairs.

Friday that day ah really pissed us off. Even Leonard Teo said fuck and pointed middle finger to the new oocs. Its leonard teo the most peaceful person to said it, (similar to when fh was pissed of with shelby, its like FH!!!) Yeah Leonard Teo!!! Thats how bad they were. Morning all have to wake up at 4.30 to do work but half of the new oocs mia while all the ooocs are there. Then when one come down he refused to work! Just give tonnes of excuses to sit at the office and make himself confortable while the rest are all doing sai kang. Then nvm, after a while all the new oocs went up to sleep in bunk and left the ooocs to clean up and clear this disused office. Theres a lot to do and we tried calling them down to help but none came down. When we go for lunch halfway (cause theres a lot of work to do) and came back this fucked up malay guy who was one of the few who miaed the whole day suddenly came over to us and talked to us in the attitude we didn't do anything and say that he cleaned the disused office so he ask us to go sweep the floor. WTF!!! We almost wanted to punch him up, CB our hardwork of cleaning he say he do and still give that attitude and ask us to do work. He dun even have the rights to ask us to do work in the first place lah. CB.

Now thanks to them the upstairs scraped the shit thingy caues they say always nobody in the office to mend the telephone and all of us are supposed to stay in the disused office which we the 6 ooocs clean up. CB. Lucky the CSM understands our situation and he is also not happy with the new oocs.

Saturday was a fun day =) Woke up and went down to town to meet isaac and vince followed by tim and vince for lunch at paradiz. Before going to play lan from about 2 plus to about 5 plus 6. Halfway shuming came and replaced Vince and we continue playing bnet owning people. Wahaha. That weiji damn smart, isaac ask him call the girls to see whos joining us for dinner and prolly movie/ice-cream after that and guess who he call? JASMINE AND JACQUELINE!!! Haha. So they after dota start jioing all the people lor, some upon hearing say comming immediately, while someone ar after so many people call also die die dun want come. Dunno who lor. Haha. Anyway suemaine came, salimah, lynette, don, peiqi and sarah came (she some girl from cjc, suemaine's and isaac's friend who happens to work at ben and jerry's) Went to eat swensons for dinner as isaac say something about reminiscing about the good old times, and poof, we're there. Went to ben and jerry's after that for cloud no.9. Yeah the ice-cream was great =) Cab home after that with weiji and sue maine.

2008-09-21T11:38:00.002+08:00

This week is rocked by the most turbulent times in the financial world with the bankruptcy of Lehman brothers and the buying over of Merrill Lynch. One by one 5 powerful investment banks fell, leaving 2 left to fight for their survival.

Okay anyway my week was kind of abit fun and sian and slack. Fun cause i get to book in to meet my fellow OOC mates, sian cause of book in. Sometimes the sergent quite irritating, which pisses all of us off for example on thursday he made all of us sit in the discussion room looking at each other while he is doing his work, when he is done he say i call you all down to sit in the discussion room to look at each other! WTH lah.

What guys think about ladies

2008-09-16T16:56:00.002+08:00

Found this too. I'd reckon its part 2 to the former post. Enjoy the humour...

If guy treat them Nicely, gal takes for granted,

If guy Don't, she say we are not gentleman.

If guy dress Nicely, she will still say not good enough,

If guy Don't, she say we kampung.

If girl is smarter, she want a rich elite.

If guy tell gal problems, she say we are whiners,

If guy don't share, she say we are like a stone.

If girl scold guy, it is ok,

If guy scold gal, we are rude.

What ladies think about guys

2008-09-16T16:48:00.003+08:00

Found this highly amusing and amazing. Enjoy...

If girl treat them Nicely, guy thinks we are in love with him,

If girl Don't, he say we are proud.

If girl dress Nicely, he say we are trying to lure him,

If girl Don't, he say we kampung.

If girl smarter, he will lose face,

If guy is smarter, he is Great.

If girl tell guy problems, he say we are troublesome,

If girl don't share, he say we don't trust them.

If guy scold girl, it because they CARE,

If girl scold boy, we are like nanny.

Happy Birthday Isaac & Lynette

2008-09-14T22:34:00.003+08:00

The past week pass quite fast and unknowingly i did nothing much, other than literally eat sleep shit. Haha. Okay i did some reading, some walking and dotaing and tonnes of chinese movies on channel 62!!! Oh i forgot Mousehunt too! Crap i'm addicted to Mouse Hunt. ( Wait i go press to hunt first, brb )

(Okay backed) I still can't remember what happened the week before except the few of us met up on monday to suprise Isaac on friday night namely Gerard, Joel, Minhui, Pei Qi, Lynette and Me (duh). They went to his house to 'suprise' him and i heard lynette ask everybody wait at the lift then dunno something malu happened. Haha. I joined in later and met them straight at Macs. They bought him mooncakes! Lols. Anyway we talked for a quite a while before we went back at about 11 plus. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC!

That weekend i only remembered we met up for dinner at toa payoh as farewell dinner for joseph. I quite sian diao that day cause joseph say want to come my house for gym at around 9am then meet up with the others for dinner at orchard at 6pm. Ends up i didn't go out the whole day, then he called at 6pm saying his church almost ending i was like zzzzz. Then met up with him at about 8 before heading down to toa payoh to meet Joel, Weji, Minhui, Peiqi, Lynette & package. That day i also blur blur cause i heard Pee Sheng's voice when i called weiji then i tot Peeish in spore then i tell everybody that he's here. Haha. Anyway we ate at Swensons and by the time we're about to go home its drizzling. As they scraped to plan to stay over at weiji's house, joseph, weiji and i took taxi home but wait damn long and at first the uncle dun want to go all the way to weiji's house cause he say out of the way but i managed to conviced him.

This week also pass very fast, wink wink and wink a few times more its the end of the week. Yesterday was really a day. Woke up at 7.30 after only a 4 hours sleep. Morning did the usual things, then went to linton's house at about 3. Talk cock sing song play com transfer game. After all that, rushed down to commonwealth to buy his earpiece, got lobang, usually 70 plus bucks sold for 20 bucks only. Then travelled to vivo pageone to buy my magazine, while playing soccer on our psp. Fun sia, when he scored a goal he shouted GOAL!!! then everybody looked at him. Haha. But the best game was the only game which he managed to equalise and drag me all the way to penalties which i won by tyconess! Haha. He quite dulan.

We met up with Vince and Weijiang for dinner at Cineleisure after vivo. Its a long time since any of us went there. Cine is like where all the xiao di dis', xiao mei meis' (small boys and girls) go, like those in sec sch all those. Some i see already shake head sia, so young (not that i'm trying to be old by they are just younger lah okay?) then want to act cool, style hair, wear like punks, then smoke somemore. Sigh. Young people nowadays ar..... Sigh. But also got some older people (i think more matured sounds better than older) like those people in their 20s then as usual Vince and Linton are scouting again. Haha, far far away sensor ring already, lols.

We were suprised as we met Rong Cheng there so he sat down with us for some catching up. Samuel joined us later and he's grown fat and white, just like the penguin shapped MO at PLC! Haha. Went to (dragged to actually) clarke quay by vince, linton and samuel, they went to drink at this crazy elephant pub with life band in it. After they finish their drinks we walked around for quite sometime before settling down at coffee club, talked for damn long from 11 plus till about 2am! Then the 3 of them dragged weijiang and me to this bar/pub/club dunno what lah, got a small dance floor, got live band and also got tv to watch soccer like 3 in 1 those kind. Then they drink again and they went to dance while weijiang and i watched soccer (man city vs chelsea) and laugh at them dancing. Haha, really damn funny sia, i bet if you're there you'll laugh till you drop. By the time they end its about 3 plus in the morning walk around somemore then took cab home.

Woke up this morning with a splitting headache which lasted the whole day. Sian diao but didn't do anything much today also went to grandfather's house in the evening to eat mooncake. Thats practically it. And oh HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNETTE.

Sigh, i'm counting down till my attend C expires. Man that time given 6 weeks but i asked for 3 weeks. Now i kind of regretting that decision. Haha.

I resign

2008-09-11T17:44:00.000+08:00

ADULT RESIGNATION

I hereby officially tender my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 7 year old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks. I want to think M&Ms are better than money, because you can eat them. I want to play kickball during recess and paint with water colors in art. I want to lie under a big Oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summers' day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, addition tables and simple nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. When all you knew was to be happy because you didn't know all the things that should make you worried and upset.

I want to think that the world is fair and everyone in it is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible. Somewhere in my youth...I matured and I learned too much. I learned of nuclear weapons, war, prejudice, starvation and abused children. I learned of lies, unhappy marriages, suffering, illness, pain and death. I learned of a world where men left their families to go and fight for our country, and returned only to end up living on the streets... begging for their next meal. I learned of a world where children knew how to kill...and did!!

What happened to the time when we thought that everyone would live forever, because we didn't grasp the concept of death? When we thought the worst thing in the world was if someone took the jump rope from you or picked you last for kickball?

I want to be oblivious to the complexity of life and be overly excited by little things once again. I want to return to the days when reading was fun and music was clean. When television was used to report the news or for family entertainment and not to promote sex, violence and deceit.

I remember being naive and thinking that everyone was happy because I was. I would walk on the beach and only think of the sand between my toes and the prettiest seashell I could find. I would spend my afternoons climbing trees and riding my bike. I didn't worry about time, bills or where I was going to find the money to fix my car.

I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up, not worry about what I'll do if this doesn't work out. I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness and loss of loved ones. I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angels in the snow.

I want to be 7 again.

At first 6 weeks attend C but i ask for 3 weeks attend C 3 weeks attend B. 3 weeks! can't believe it....... believe it!

Friday i was so pek cek being stuck at home that i went out for about an hour in the afternoon. Took a bus to SJI as it was teachers day to visit my teachers. As usual some of them cannot recognise me again and again. Haha. Walked around with Hariz and Weijiang, went back to our class room, our ncc room..... Honestly i haven't been back to my computer club room for super super long already. Since sec 3 bah when i decided to leave as i could not continue with 2 cca's ( my sch dun allow ) Went back home after that.

At night met joseph shuming and joel at cck for movie. Actually boss came to my house for gym before going to cck. The movie was nice and it reflects on society and as well as taking a dig at the automation of the robots of the future. No doubt the show's quite nice they animation was good especially the part when the robots can fully express their feelings with their metallic parts. Haha. Joel then drove us to prata and played pool after. Soon it was about 1.30am and we headed home.

Saturday, well nothing much happened except that i meet linton and aaron for lunch and walk around as usual. Haha. Oh i remembered I steamed crabs for dinner. My first time killing and cooking crabs. Yum yum though i added abit too much of the wine. Smells and taste nice can already, waste abit more nevermind one. That night i KO very early at about 8pm, then was woken by weiji who apprently ask me to play dota. ZZZ. Didn't really want to play but wake up liao cannnot sleep so watch this very nice show on channel 8 called 后备甜心 (hou bei tian xin) with my bro.

Because a girl like you is impossible to find, You're impossible to find

Hydrotherapy

2008-08-24T22:16:00.004+08:00

Monday my first hydrotherapy, at first i tot in the swimming pool ends up i was doing exercises in a BATHTUB for adults!!! BATHTUB. And luckily there's nobody, i really look like an idiot trying to run against the current which cause me to end up running on the same spot in the bathtub. The cool thing is that the tub got a switch to set current like a tide sia damn fun to play but to run around do jumping jets seriously makes me look like a fool. And after that i just slept during the electric treatment. Haha.

This weekend i spend alot of money. Thanks to the games day for specialist, i get to book out at 3 on friday. Then went to play pool with linton to destress. Playing pool is a good way to destress and i'm so going to get myself a pool table. My mum said okay to buy for me but just that i got no place to put the table !!! Damn. Its like so close yet so far.

Saturday went out with linton and aaron to watch fireworks. Linton as usual was whinning about no money... Super kiam pah. But then while watching the fireworks we're like saying thats where all our 7% gst goes. Into the sky!!! So its bu kan bai bu kan. Met nurul there with her friends who also happens to be there watching fireworks. Its kind of expected actually, anyway send her home after that as she just stay at the next condo.

Sunday, was woken up by calls from joseph and joel. Lols. A mad rush down to meet them to play pool. Then came along this walking calamity. Shes simply disastrous and her name is none other than minhui. First thing even before meeting us she broke her specs cleanly into 2 parts! Say twist twist then pak! it became 2. Just imagine the amount how rough she treat her stuffs... Then just before going to the optician to get a new frame to replace the broken one, she 'drop' her bottle and the cap broke this time into 2 again. Some people just have such an 'eventful' life. Haha. Anyway went to eat carls jr with joseph gerard joel weiji and minhui after everything is done and cab home! My 2nd consecutive day of eating carls jr and the same outlet.

I'm going broke !!! Haha. $$$ not enough too

Loveless

2008-08-23T00:43:00.000+08:00

Prologue
When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting

Act I
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act II
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Act III
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Act IV
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess

My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber

Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world’s end
The wind sails over the water’s surface
Quietly, but surely

Act V
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Happy Birthday Joseph

Last week i can't really remember what exactly happen except that it was near the end of the course for them so i was loaded with tonnes of paperwork!! Helping them fill up their report card and stuffs. I come to realise being an OOC is tougher than a trainee. Trainee wake up early do exercise makan then go bunk sleep then train then always got time in between to sleep 10-20 mins. OOC wake up 5am cannot sleep till lights out at 10.30-11pm and in between need to do alot of unseen work. Somemore i got extra duty as armskote assistant can really suck thumb ar.

This week they pop, then suay suay their 28km overnight route march i have to go be signaller. Then whole night CANNOT SLEEP if not will miss out on things to report like ppl fall out, movements of troops and stuffs. The worst part the rover i'm in is faulty, the car battery is smoking !!! and the noxious fumes engulfes the rover but we no choice cause have to move ends up the supervising officer the driver and me were coughing like mad. Somemore trainees who walk got night snack we dun have sia lah, hungry plus cold plus tired, at least trainnes got food and walk so not cold but more tired lah.

The next morning i go for physiotherapy and the physioterapist shattered my dream of recoursing, saying that need more than 2 months to fully recover as the ligament tear. Finally got a full diagnosis of what happened and was suprised that my 2 ankle ligament on the sides were torn!!! Sian diao then ask me what sport i play i say volleyball then she say ooh then cannot play liao !!! KAO, then ask me do aqua running the next appointment. Hope can recover faster. And cause i didn't sleep the night before the pain treatment (where they pass through electricity through your feet, though its not supposed to be painful but somehow or rather it hurts) guess what i was so tired that i ignored the pain and fell asleep for that 20 mins till that person woke me up! Haha.

Friday everybody gather for passing out parade while i'm stuck in the discussion room with the other oocs packing their dockets for them then change bunk and BOOK OUT. First time book out so early at about 1.30 pm. Accompanied my friend to AMK to buy his PSP while i bought mine from Min Hui's bro. ( its cheaper anyway and i got more stuffs than his, just that his is US set while mine, i dunno but 20 bucks cheaper is still 20 bucks !!! ) That night went out to meet linton and aaron for a talk at macs then went home finish watching ping pong and splat i'm flat out on my bed.

When i woke up on sat morning i realised i slept of almost 12 hours !!! Was supposed to meet my OOC friends at suntec at 11am but i woke up at 11am !! so it was a mad rush down but luckily for me all of them reach at 12.30. At least i'm saved and i managed to grab my psp first before meeting them. Buffet lunch was great and filling got raw slices of shashimis, hotpots, sharkfin soup, tempuras, foundus, fruits, shells..... YUM YUM definately worth the 30+ bucks. That reminds me of the seafood buffet at united square also 30+ i think. Gotta go there again someday =) After lunch was arcade time but as usual i'm a looker, just dun really play arcade games anyway and ends up at starbucks playing my psp.

After that met linton to go jobfair where i met gerard whos going to live bet on soccer at paradiz there. Saw this damn interesting solar charger which cost 170+ i think but hey its cool lah, solar charger for your hp and psp, sure can bring to bmtc one lor. Met joseph for pool after that, wah our pool skills sucks big time sia. Chiam liao, chaim liao. Got a fright when i pass him his psp cause for some reason it just cannot be turned on, so i exchanged mine with his and took home the spoilt one. By a stroke of genius i managed to 'jumpstart' the psp at home. WOOTS.

Before i forgot, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSEPH !!!

Flip a coin

2008-08-03T02:10:00.004+08:00

2 weeks have past after the unfortunate incident which is well life changing. Not to the point of changing my life (perhaps yet to be) but it did made me reflect and think a lot about my life. The things which i used to do and the things i could not do now. I had to wake up earlier, move slower..... There's a lot of adjustments i have to make, to take note of and to compromise. Well a visit to the specialist at AH got me an ankle brace and was told to rest for another 2 to 4 weeks. The worst news was even after it recover, it will not be the same again; being more susceptible to sprains. Sigh.

Went to watch the Dark Knight today. Man it was a damn good show with awesome moves like the bike against the wall..... state of the art tech like using cellphone as sonar..... societial behavioural patterns like the case of wanting to kill the guy on tv..... last but not least, accomplished actors taking heath ledger as example for the role of joker.

They say.... actually its my theory that as people grow older and supposedly wiser, the costlier their mistakes (be it monetarily or whatever). No doubt today's blunder was quite costly but on hindsight no pain no gain. For some reasons that still baffles me, i'm a blur dick today i swear, cockster to the max. First wrong replies to Isaac, then wrong timing and area to PQ. Craps. My bad.

The coin is free from prejudices and biasness that the society is in. Chances are always 50-50.

Sprained

2008-07-27T16:17:00.002+08:00

My right ankle is sprained badly last wednesday where i had to jump but suay suay landed on the root of the tree. Damn, couldn't even stand up, and there goes my Thursday ( spent in Alexandra Hospital ) Friday, Sat and Sun, lazing around at home hoping that my ankle can de-swell and recuperate faster. Well Sat that day, its ps and jess's farewell bbq, so i lan lan wack all the painkillers and went. Wasn't really in the happiest mood to enjoy the bbq with them as my leg's still swollen, for that my apologies to all who went.

My last week was spent sitting down in my coy office from about 5am till 10pm. Reading newspaper, magazines, listening to the phone... literally can't move about much. Even my lunch had to be packed and brought back. Feeling damn shit lah, everything PIKA Stay! everybody else go and help here help there do this do that... It sucks to be a PIKA seriously. But sometimes also good lah, can at least sit down and decently read newspaper and can watch TV in the air-con room !!! 7pm show and 9pm show!!!

And oh, last tuesday i went to CMPB for x-ray again and that stupid MO only said 2 sentence after receiving my X-ray film. "Congrats no fracture which means you got a very bad sprain" and " I give you attend B for 5 days, if still pain come back again" I was like WTH!!!

This week my coy's going out field again, so i suppose this week gonna be the same as the last, as boring, as unmeaningful, as stonning, as.. as.. as... It just sucks big time lah, wasting my time away when i could have been with my buddies chiong suah, at least its more fun. Oh well, booking in 5 hours time and i'll be confined to that desk in the aircon room :(

5 more weeks

2008-07-13T11:46:00.004+08:00

5 more weeks to the end of my course. Well i can't believe i'm counting down, thats like quite lame but then again thats what we all do in army. Counting down and booking out are the only things which motivate us to strive on. Contrary to popular believe, army life is not always boring sometimes its fun like chiong sua (sometimes when you dun get tekan) and you get once in a lifetime experiences like throwing grenades and firing shoulder propelled rockets !!! ( the back blast is damn shiok )

Booked out super late on friday due to a blind grenade which took 2.5 hours for the explomo to arrive and blow it apart. Sign, x-inefficiency... Precious book out timings are ticking by, luckily weiji parents send me home.

Anyway i watched redcliff yesterday with joel weiji peesheng and isaac. To isaac and me it was a good movie overall and they also manage to add some humour to the movie like outdated goose and bagua formations. To others its very dry and boring as weiji fell asleep ( i think hes just plain tired ) and joel was complaining ( it will be suprising if he dosen't complain as its a chinese movie ) haha. The movie is unexpectedly long lasting 2.5 hours and its only part one 1! Hah, kenna con but still i think its worth my 8 bucks. And the 35 bucks ben and jerry's ice-cream is slightly expensive.

SISPEC

2008-07-06T18:53:00.004+08:00

Suffer In Silence Plus Extra Confinement (SISPEC) thats what they all say, but but so far its been 2 weeks and i haven't seen of that yet.

Here in sispec everything is different as they operate in a different way that of self governance and they really treat you like commanders. We have our own time to plan and operate in section level, somemore they always tell you to fall out if you're injuired ! Our OC is also very kind, keep coming to talk to us and treat us as his childrens. Guess what my coy had 2 consecutive nights out ! Though its only like from 7 to 10 pm but 1 sec out of camp is 1 sec counted. Haha. And the best part we managed to catch "wanted" on thursday, honestly speaking the story plot sucks just that the scenes about the curling bullets are visually dazzling (err hem, angelina jolie, err hem) JKJK, but yeah it just sounds nice to have bullets curling, what if we can do that to our SAR 21 ( that was our discussion in my section that night )

Learn alot of things like basic navigation and the various weapons which we'll be using. Also we're tested on trainning safety to ensure the safety of our men in the future when we lead them. Its like putting you on a fast forward track and expect you to remember almost every single detail at one glance.

Last weekend was quite a long one from fri night to sun night, though i can't really remember all the things i know i went to buy this collared tee to book in then meet up with joel weiji and isaac. Supposed to go watch 'get smart' but even we went to buy it 2-3 hours in advance it was already sold out in all the cinemas so ends up went to spageddies for dinner and that was the day when i was being KAO-PEIED by "someone" for NOTHING (thanks ar, haha) you seriously owe me one =)

This weekend was short as compared to last week as we had sports day this week, by the time i book out it was in the afternoon already. Went home to change and went to SJI for the annual parade, thats where i met all my former teachers and schoolmates. Honestly speaking the parade standard in SJI is much higher than that of BMT and SISPEC. After that went to eat carls junior with my Ncc part mates and after that of all things they go play LAN; to revive our old school days where we would go to town every now and then especially after trainnings for lunch then lan. Haha. This time we played battlefield 2 and made use of what we learn in the army to move and clear enemy in a section level !!! Can't believed it.

Today's sunday and its book in day =( i really could not wake up this morning for the run, my apologies, again. Woke up at about 11am today and before long met up with joseph to go jurong to swim. He really sian diao, the diving course really hard sia, then after that still need sand as weights so that we can sink in, then we tot of koping sand from west coast park but ends up we came by this aquarium and bought a pack of sand and after that i headed home. I'm supposed to be catching up on my rest before book in later but ends up i'm bloging, there goes my ZZZ time...

Block leave

2008-06-20T13:40:00.004+08:00

Poped on Tuesday and so my block leave starts. 12 days of 'rest' begans and sadly to say there goes all our leave entitlement for the year

Wednesday was a boring day with no activities whatsoever except for the fact that pee sheng suddenly called and asked me to join andrew xiuting joel minhui peiqi and him for dinner at nydc. The dinner was erm zzz... So i met up with my bro who happens to be mugging at natl lib to head home.

Thurdsay went back to tekong in the morning for re-BIC but then have diahorrea, how untimely ends up i kenna attend B cause the MO could not keep me under observation in the sick bay as i have to book out later. So ends up in the company office in the AIRCON room reading newspaper, listening to radio and picking up phone call. Practically i go tekong just to be kept in an aircon room. Haha. I was so bored in the afternoon when i reached home that i took my bike out and cycled to orchard and back roughly covered around 30 plus 40 km.

Friday was a big day and the chiong sua day. Set off in the morning and cycle to changi village and back !!! That was almost about 100km passing by Saf ferry terminal too. Guess what i saw some platoon mates fishing at saf ferry terminal ! Words to describe the day, shag beyond the point of shag.

Saturday and sunday was spent with my classmates in Orchid Country Club in a chalet. But as usual i went to the computer fair in the morning to take a look before meeting shuming and heading down to the chalet. At the chalet everybody was clustering around the majong table and also the bed. Only a few outliers were sitting infront of the tv talking about uni courses and stuffs. We had dinner at the shop in the bowling ally, but this time round we didn't bowl cause most people didn't want to bowl and ends up we're all back in the room and clustering by the majong table. One by one the girls fell asleep while the guys were playing majong, watching soccer and talking about guys stuffs all at the same time, well except for mh pq and fh who seems to be eavsdropping on what we say. After majong and soccer, the guys carried on with indian poker and random tau poking till about 6am before we all start to ko one by one.

Tuesday went out with cousin to shop watch movie and play bowling. Nothing much.

Thursday travel round the island, my house to toa payoh to orchard to yishun to bukit timah to play pool with joseph at night and ate prata.

The rest of the days are spent doing nothing at home, like stonning infront of my laptop playing maplestory, dota, listening music, washing my army stuffs, watch movies on channel 62, read books... A civilian life indeed. Now that is going to be gone in less than 24 hours time. Suffer In Silence Plus Extra Confinement, thats the place i'll be going.

POP Loh

2008-06-11T10:44:00.000+08:00

Well pop is finally here. Sunday before book in everybody was at the supermarket at white sands shopping for food so ends up everybody late. We brought in pizza, chicken wing, snacks, drinks and even island creamy Ice cream !!! That night we ate like pigs, the first time army so relaxed. Then after that they go around ka-chiaoing ppl. Zhuo Min was damn funny the way he begged for mercy haha, he even used naveen's reason 'never wear underwear' haha. Then i suay suay when i'm on the phone that time i kenna powder bath. Quite lucky already cause others kenna powder plus deodourants plus green tea plus food !!!

Monday night was our last night and it was the best night ever. Our sgts come and play with us and they even used the fire hose !!! Ends up everybody is soaking wet and they started going after people and pin them to the floor. Then after a while things start to go erm disgusting? They raped the few of them, platoon best and company best... and strip them off everything ! So they were like naked on the floor rollling around. I heard got 1 guy kenna a toothpaste tube stuffed into his ass and squeeze !! Haha

Tuesday was POP!!! Man finally after 2 months, its time to say good bye to tekong, the place where we came from nothing to become friends. We had a perfect weather for our parade the want to rain but no rain kind heavy cloud cover with wind =) Then we wait wait and wait and finally after our roar, we threw our caps ! Phoof* Instantly became PTE NG. Haha. Then we go around throwing people taking photographs and stuffs.

WOOTS, and also drill com we came in third even though we were severly marked down by our white gloves. Yeah Whiskey rocks =)

Woots my first friday bookout. And damn this stupid company who ran pass us and board the ferry. Basket they never book slot for the ferry and they chiong up the ferry, so ends up the ferry no slots for us to book out and have to wait like 40 mins for the fast craft which the T company sir activate for us.

I need a sunrise

2008-05-24T15:34:00.003+08:00

Sian, another book out with like about 26 hours. CB. Book out 1330 book in 1645. My sgt make my whole section stay from 0830 to 1330. Argh just for 1 hour of RT. Somemore i never miss any lesson, just that my sgt wanted my whole section to bond so ends up all of us have to go rt. But rt is fun lah, 60 counts of 4 push ups, 100 counts of 4 crunches, 200 counts of 4 buddha claps..... tired but shiok.

Yay, just got a good news yesterday night. I got accepted into both NTU and NUS. Just when i thought i screwed up my NUS interview (they only accept like 40-50+ ppl) , i got in !!! Yay, that should be my drive for my 16 click road march on monday. =)

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-11T15:01:00.002+08:00

Happy Mother's Day

Lols, i can't believe my 22 hour book out is like so fast. Just 1 sleep, some chatting and some grocery shopping. Now i'm left with 4 hours and i'll be in for another 6 days this time without my phone. Argh, i spent many minutes doing nothing, but i got not enough hours to go out. Sianzzz. 1 month have just past like that. Just like that, and now theres exactly 1 more month to go.

I'm literally living at a deserted, rural, backward, uncivilised, unconnected corner in an densely populated, urban, futuristic, civilised, super-connected part of a country. It was so bad that we do not even have newspaper. The only connected with the outside world is our phones and my portable radio which the 12 of us will cram over to listen to news.

Pass few days

2008-05-03T11:21:00.002+08:00

I realise i wasted quite a lot of my precious book out timings. Tick tock tick tock.... watch the time goes right out of the window.

Thursday, meet up with ShuMing before meeting joel weiji and joseph at toa payoh to makan before going down to botanic gardens to meet Isaac Tim MinHui PeiQi Gabriel and Jasmine. Gab looks totally different, like a criminal from far !!! Haha. Anyway we sat there and talk about army loh, usual topic, while weiji mh and pq play uno while gab and jas mia. After that went to play lan. Use what i learn in Urban Ops in Cs but not always can use cause ppl just spray and shoot through wall zzz.

Friday morning go Singapore Discovery Center, have to go cause its some army thingy, then went to makan with my platoon mates before heading home. Went out cycling with linton after that as he got field camp this week. Then evening play dota with Tim. Tim is very blur, i same team same lane as him he didn't realise it was me. Haha.

I just screwed up my interview today, the 2 interviewers interview until they, 1 cut the other to end the interview session. Hope i can still get in. Argh, this program take in so little ppl nia like about 40 plus only, and my interview is the discretionary kind. Oh well, good luck man.

Long break

2008-05-01T00:27:00.003+08:00

Book out, book out day
Today is my book out day =)

Haha, time for a well deserving break. 4 Days Holiday Woots.

First book out

2008-04-26T15:44:00.002+08:00

Hello dudes, its my first book out today at 1100 but got to go in tmr evening. Sharks. Oh well, this 2 weeks of confine is enjoyable to me. Still going along well. Now that i've written something its time to go for a run before someone ask me to do something again ( even though i just ran 1.6km for morning jog and 5km for endurance run )

I quite sian diao when my phone ran out of batt. I tot my portable charger can charge but ends up cannot !!! Then ends up 1 whole week no phone to use. My radio also died. Argh. Double dmg. Luckily got many things like laundry and area cleaning to keep me bz during admin time. Crap but still 1 whole week without phone !!! I can't believe i survived it, sry for all the unreliped messages though.
