i have jus failed the TP.. damn sian.. wasting my money like that man.. wth..
my main cause of failing is for being too slow, and for braking too early letting the car cruise to the junction at the red traffic light.

i started the circut quite ok la.. he gave my a few points for not checking blind spot.. but nvm still haven fail yet.. my parking slope crank course everything swee swee no points deducted at all.. i mean of course la i practise so much one try can jus go in liao lar.. but the problem comes when go out.. Say i change gear too slow.. mus drive up till 10m before a stopped car before braking.. that machiam E-braking liao lar.. i drive drive made a few left turns a few right turns.. then he started to tell me to go faster faster.. cannot like this cannot like that.. that was when i know GG liao gone case liao.. so i jus heck care jus whack go until 50+.. then he say more like it, more like an experienced driver. seriously im only a double L plate how can u use ur 30 overr years of standard to come kill a newbie jus cos of too slow ( his definition)

HAIZ.. that aside, ok it was an eye opener, first time experience, totally dont know what to expect.. i went in to the room sat down and waited.. the names got called one by one.. the room became emptier and emptier until i was the last one left inside. OOHHH did they forget me? and i also realised that what they literally shout the names of their testee lar.. the room already small liao still wana scare the testees who are all nervous enough.. i mean cnt u all be more friendly? the same happened for me. the guy came barking my name.. i din even bother to answer him la seriously.. im already the last guy in the room obviously its me u are looking for. i was totally not like those who upon calling their name yes sir yes sir.. damn do we have to stoop dat low jus to get a damn lisence?

all in all it boils down to money la seriously.. the school pple there spend on average 2.5K and passing rate is 80%.. for us private well the TP will wan to fail the testee more so as to earn more for the industry.. it all boils down to money!! the world out there is all about $$.. a very true but sad fact. a fact which i will have to start facing once im out of the army. a fact which i have to act upon and be street smart.

IM GOING TO THAILAND WITH MY CAMP BUDDIES! ok finally after months of empty talk, we have finally booked the trip today during the travel fair at suntech.. we almost did not make it to the booking decision, but nonetheless, we decided to stop procrastinate and jus do it!

first, we sat down at the table of a small tour agency, jus 5 to 6 tables there nia.. we sat there staring at the sales rep.. and they stared back at us.. just when we thought he was going to walk here and serve us, he turned around and walk to the counter to chit chat with his friends!! we were like WTH! (@*!))* he actually think we were jus kids who like was playing a fool and not serious without the buying power to go overseas?! damn him laa.. there were quite a lot of free staff at the counter chatting but none bothered to come over to answer our quries.. until a lady who was the manager came to help us.. IT took a manager to realise our presence.. HAIS.. neext encounter was at the CHAN's brothers booth too.. we took a queue number.. shocked that we were like number 200 in queue, we went to walk around to buy time.. but when it came to our turn, we were damn appalled by the girl's attitude towards us too..
" Where do you want to go. When are you leaving? Whats your budget? What kind of airline do you want to travel?"
whao.. ok we could see that she was like damn black face and wasnt interested in serving us.. so we just "played" on and jus left after 5 minutes.. fine its not like you are the only agency around..

on the brighter side, we also met more positive staff who did not disregard us as jus "kids" and wrote away our desire to get out of the country for a vacation and served us with professionalism! first was the dude at thee CTC booth at marina sq.. he was a good salesman who was the itenary planner in the company.. so he gave us good ideas of what to do and where to go.. i liked the stunned face the girls at the booth gave us when we told them " where can we go with a $500 budget" DA! the opening line in your face.. how would u respond? LOL! secondly, at the ASA booth, we met quite a friendly auntie who despite the monotony of going thru the sales process took the effort to joke with us to liven up the process of buying.. yeah we actually went back there after comparing all the prices of the agencies and at 730pm, went back there to the same auntie to seal the deal..

there at 8pm, with the travel crowd beginning to simmer, and with staff beginning to knock off to go home, we were still busy laughing and joking, making our payment! i met her on my way home at the mrt station and we began chatting too.. lol..

2009-10-17T09:58:00.000-07:00

now with time on my hands, i must find sth useful to do.. anyone got any useful suggestions?

2009-10-16T08:17:00.000-07:00

just finished my part of a major exercise.. wow looking back im shockeddd at what i accomplished! book in friday, book out sat, go back sunday until earlier tonight when i could come back home. all in all working on a strict shift basis for manning.. doing things over and over again can be boring and regimential at times.. getting things done seems harder, especially when u are the middle man who lacks enthusiasm.. you gota play ur stenghts and know their motivations and work on those things to get the job done.. people say the saf is this and that but in reality, when u go to work, it will very much be the same too. haha and i got this enlightment from none other than nsman! being the ns ict ic, i got the honour of talking and interacting with nsman and i dun blame them for their mentality sometimes.. having being thru all the shit, it jus makes them wana protect themselves more only. if u yourself dun protect your own interests, no one else will.. that is something valuable i learnt.. of course how you do it in the process is another thing.. ive seen nsman who do so, but end up offending all the regulars and their superiors.. conversely, i have also seen those who do so tactfully, which requires skill of course and these people are usually those who hold high position outside and are earning the "big bucks".. something very worthy to take a leaf from their books..

was talking with my sso about camp stuff online.. and a lot of things depends on the system and the people.. the system in the saf is quite dead, fixed.. the officer corps, Wospecs corp, so the only differece is the people and how they react.. looking at trends in the camp and all.. looking back we have really come a long way from the day we entered the camp to now.. taking care of every small thing and big thing.. with or without the help of the regulars.. hai.. many testing moments and many trails, but no doubt i have come nearer and nearer to ORD! now what i cnt wait is to plan and go for the overseas trips in december!! enjoy first before going to work again in 2010, where a whole new journey begin again.. CIAO!

2009-10-08T17:59:00.000-07:00

woo! jus checked my payslip, or rather allowance, and yeah the rumours are true.. all nsf specs now all have a 110 dollars increment in rank pay! woots! but the only bad thing is that i will be getting this pay for only 4 months.. :x versus the new specs jus after me by one batch getting their sct pay since day 1! zzz there will really be no end to comparing if i go on like this! haizz jus be contented with what u have and move on in life! ord is coming!

i wunt be coming out of camp for at least 1 WEEK once i book in after lunch.. even my weekend will be burnt and i dun think i will even be able to go for my grandfather's birthday which is like tmr.. SAD-ED! :(

2009-10-06T08:38:00.000-07:00

what day is today? i almost lost count of the day today. =.= being at home makes time fly so slowly!! aww hope that 4months can fly past faster..

There is now a mio TV in my living room!! for renewing and uupgrading myy broadband plan to 3MBPS.. and guess what? i have jus watched 3 movies back to back! non stop movie marathon! i think i dun need to sleep tonight alr laa.. there is this window period where the videos on demand channel provide uu free videos to watch! well i rather jus enjoy myself before this friday cos once i book in this friday i wun be able to book out until 21st oct.. that makes it 2 weeks straight of working.. arghh siann.. but oh well i will get my well deserved off which only allows me to go off on weekdays.. but does not replace the lost time during the weekends.. somehow in this unit i find myself burning more weekends than weekdays.. in army u work like hell for the weekdays but u get to enjoy ur weekends in peace.. in the airforce its the opposite.. above all indeed..

ok now back to my movie.. not a bad movie.. titled: ugly face kind heart, a taiwan/ hongkong production..

PS: To those studying for exams, good luck! jia you and dun give up!

EMO~

OHH! it has been like ages since i have last blogged.. been a good 6 months since my last blogged.. As such there are many many things to pen down and complain about too since life never stays stagnant.. even if u are daydreaming things still happen around u.. people smile and people feel sad all the same!

well, its already october and november 6 is my TP!one more month to go! hang in there.. ok i cnt wait for it cos im so going to pass it in one shot. Then im so not going to see my instructor again.. to hell with him man.. im using him to get my lisence and he is using me just to earn more money.. such is the world when people make use of each other for their own gains.. but generally after 6 months of learning, i can safely say i can drive on the road comfortably, albiet the lack of road experience that those people driving for decades have. parking is something that i should then be paying more attention to. looking at the rear, ensuring that the poles do not fall, steering your vehicle into the space allocated..
Nonetheless, i have also seen many people who fail in the first attempt owing to overly strict examiners.. what giving 40 over points in just half an hour is absurd laa! All this just boil down to the great disparity in the standards of the instructors across the board and the expectations of the testers themselves. with that said, i really hope i get a good tester for the first time!! :DD

with the end of the year approaching, another chapter of my life is ending. The NS chapter is ending and yet another more demanding and challenging part of life is about to begin. NS has been... been bitter sweet for me.. yes it allowed me to realise a lot of things that cannot be learnt in the school context. It opens my eyes up to the different walks of life singaporeans come from by meeting new people along the way. It teaches u to deal with unreasonable orders and demanding superiors, which is a foretaste in the working world too.
However it has also been a good break from studying. I have chiong-ed thru upper primary, secondary school and then JC.. mugging thru exams and slogging for the CCA's i have joined.. surprisingly i am able to get almost twice the amount of sleep in NS than i can ever get in JC! thats an achievement no doubt! and now in approx 4 months time, im going to ORD! which means im going back to the cillivian world where not everything goes your way just because ur rank is higher or you are more senior. but where you have to fight for what u really want without of course losing yourself in the process. With a good 2 year break, here i come back better and refreshed than ever.

alas i have to get some sleep now for im booking in in 6 hours time.. till then.. sayonara! :DD

2009-04-05T01:34:00.000-07:00

life has been slow and boring.. monotonous in short. but what can i do? my unit is as such. just be a bit more garand and people will start complaining cos they are jus plain lazy! haix now im jus waiting to ORD so i can move on with this phase of life..

recently i have been recieving lots of calls and sms to go for some business meetings and stuff. go make money have financial freedom and stuff.. man i got like about 10 calls lar.. yeah they were very intriguing and interesting.. made sense and was captaviting.. whao and i must say the whole idea thing is like a brainwashing session man.. the way it is done and presented.. it pulls u away from those who rejects the idea.. may be a bit unorthodox too.. so im lucky that i did not join these organisations.. no doubt they can bring in money, but whats the point of doing so against ur wishes or ur conscience by bluffing people.. rather you be happy and be practical, earn what u can and live within your means.. ultimately you cnt bring what you have with you to your grave.. so jus be happy in ur lifetime and accept the things that come your way in life.. greed has no end until you reach the end!

2009-03-04T05:33:00.000-08:00

hello peeps.. whao it has really been a long long time since i blogged.. look at the last date-- 25th december! last christmas! im sure many many many things have happened in the past 4 months.. lets see.. i have settled down in my unit, swallowed all the shit that is going in the unit.. ok i rather not talk about all these unhappy stuff.. one more year and it will all be over.. guys dun be like this guy who left 6 more months to ord then go awol.. and have been on the run from MP since. hais thats another live ruined.

Besides NS, i have started to use my brain more often.. lol! i did not realise how rusty my brain was until i started to do an essay for my nus scholarship appllication.. i was also surprised at what i was writing, all no link to the question and if my GP teacher sees it i will be so dead la! lucky got my cousin to help me edit and to tell me which part is totally NAQ.. gota start working my brain more these months if not going to uni in this state is asking for trouble man!

2008-12-25T09:18:00.000-08:00

MERRY XMAS PEOPLE!!

but it wasnt a very merry one for me.. had to do guard duty for xmas eve which was supposed to be a half day for me.. sit at the guard room sadly see the whole camp book out one by one.. and the worst thing dat being i cannot go for midnight mass.. stuck in camp.. and the worst thing was that time passed VERY SLOWLY!! everytime i looked at my watch one minute seemed like one hour la.. lucky i was able to communicate with my guards, got some common topics to talk about. if not for these i tink i would have died duing the day and night la! thats why having a good mixture of characters in a group is good, this way they can inteact more and learn from each other more. rather than having all the same type of chaacter, they wun be compelled to even talk to each other.
woke up at about 6am to continue the duty although there were no movement around camp.. sometimes i tink we are redundent there.. anw went for the last mass slot after i reached home.. and after lunch, i totally KO.. slept all the way until 5 plus and still refused to get up.. lol. but eventually had to get up to go to my cousin's house for ou usual xmas gathering.. went there and basically got bombarded with NS qns by martin and michael.haha dun blame them la we only see each other like twice each year, unlesss got other events like weddings from our cousins, which there is one coming up.. 31st jan.. and im like going to be the chief usher for my cousin..mmm! interesting.. LOL!
i had the chance today to lay my hands on a wii for the first time too.. played games like tennis, baseball, boxing and star wars! ok we had fun playing those games and wii is a whole new feeling when playing console games. and i rock at the boxing game!! boxing on boxing day woots! lol..

2008-12-19T05:49:00.000-08:00

People are just so practical nowadays.. when they need ur help they will be good to you and paw u.. but when they dun need you they will jus ignore you and kick you aside.. furthermore as you grow older, you meet more more people but they are merly acquantinces and not fit to be called friends.. dats a sad fact of life.. hais.. dats like the case here in airforce.. lots and lots of office politics.. and i defintely dun wana be a part of it.. damn jus let me pass my one more year peacefully and ***** off from dat place.. but nonetheless there are a few good people who are worth spending more time with and getting to know them better..
hais.. this is jus the sad fact of saf and maybe the world when i go out to work in the future..

2008-12-13T06:59:00.000-08:00

today has again been a long day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY girl! u are finally 19 years old.. hope u find back ur lost camera as ur birthday gift bah! first of all i went out for lunch with andrea.. treated her to billy bombers. we ate until our stomachs could not hold any more food or another drop of water.. woots was real damn full.. and then she also kept complaining of how "fat" she was! when she was not even 45 kg la! u call dat heavy? after the heavy lunch, we went of cos to walk and shop to aid in the digestion of food.. she said she wanted to get a top, so since she had a specfic item in mind, i thought why not jus accompany her.. in the end we bought other things but jus not her top! LOL! anw nvm la huh i accompany u since its ur birthday!

then on my way home, my parents call to say they plan to go east coast park to ride bike and stuff.. so there goes my other half of the day; spent at east coast park.. man the park was damn crowded and many of the youngsters like to like in tents sia.
when we went to the bicyce kiosk 90% of the bicycles were already rented la we went there a bit too late.. so we walked further down to find another kiosk which was a bit more ex. then we jus rode ride ride ride... reminds me of the time i had my 24km route march at east coast man.. suffering in the heavy FBO, walking in the dead of the night when should be sleeping in my king koil bed.. and as the wind blew directly in my face, i never felt dat calm before, at least never since i went to the army. it sorta made me think about my future and what i was going to be 10 years from now.. hmmm~ a big question mark!

after about half an hour, we arrived at the hawker center where we fought hard for our table and sat down to eat.. i could still feel the burgers in my stomach when i ate dinner. argh.. girls not only u have gained weight but me also! i have passed my peak in physical fitness in BMT and sispec.. and now it will jus decrease as i put on weight in my slack unit.. i jus have to keep exercising to slow down the deterioation of my fitness.

after dinner we rode for about another hour before returning the bikes and going for golf again.. something happened during the game.. something damn comical but yet may cause my head to roll.. i was using the number 1 club to hit the ball, i was in position, standing ready to whack the ball. Poom! the head of the golf club and the ball went flying away!! i was like damn stunned.. i was going shit shit shit i whacked too hard the frigging club even broke.. then guess what we did? we actually took an umbrella and went out to the field to pick up the head.. LOL! damn comical lar.. after dat then continued playing.. but i dare not use the club 1 anymore liao.. after hit uuntil break again..hais.. now back home and showered.. my eyes are closing and im going to bed! BYE BYE..

2008-12-07T09:31:00.000-08:00

its already 2 am in the morning but i still wana blog haha.. really wana thank the guys and girls who took time off to spend the day with me. and they are none other than kenneth, drew, MY and hui hui :D we also felt YT and lei's presence among us during the dinner although they were unable to join us.. LOL!

we actually spent 4 hours at ktv singing our hearts out at our favourite songs! the songs never seemed to end.. kept going and going.. drew exceptionally like to sing duet songs haaha.. and while we were singing MY also kept spamming us wif pictures lol.. MY quick upload them so i can see them :P but singing was defintely not easy la.. which makes me wonder and also admire those singers who can sing so well.. well thats what they are doing as a career anw so they have to be good at it. at least it makes me able to appreciate good music more! we should each try to specialise in a few songs and be able to sing it very well.. then when we gather then we can "show off" those few songs!

and i cnt believe i have been spamming food into my stomach for the past 3 nights.. friday night was CO change of parade got a big feast to eat.. sat went out again to feast with family.. and sunday spamming 2 cakes with dinner again! woots.. ok tmr is workout day.. must go train and also at the same time to burn calories.. but once in a while it would be find to indulge in such events.. afterall such things dont happen everyday..

with dat it wasnt enough since we only met up such few times in the year and to make full use of time we went to see a movie! we saw hai jia qi hao, cape no 7. i would say it was quite a sad storyline.. the story basically revolve round this love between this jap guy and chinese gal 60 years ago which actually replays again on another couple.. at least the producers allowed this couple to be together not like the previous one show the female already so old still waiting for the guy.. hai sad sad!

2008-12-06T08:07:00.000-08:00

life is jus full of ups and downs.. haiz! i cnt use any phrase or words to desribe life as of now.. sometimes things jus refuses to go your way and jus screws up so u jus gota suck it down and move on with life.. no point pulling a long face or mulling over it. it is with those down moments that we can and know when things are good and to appreciate someone or something that has been done for us..

today went out to gai gai with my family.. i must say we haven went out for very long alr.. ever since those slogging with my youngest brother for his O's.. zzz it was literally me to the rescue last min to perform miracles.. hope this miracle is good enough.. so today was the post exam celebration cum my bdae celebration.. went to the singapore flyer to take a ride to see whats singapore skyline like.. too bad it was too cloudy if not could have seen a beautiful sun setting behind the horicon.. but nonetheless we got to see the transition from evening to night and how the city lit up into life.. after that went to have a sumptous dinner at bistro.. the place was jus beside the F1 tracks which was built for the F1 race.. when we went there for a walk many youngsters were instead riding their bikes and skateboards on the road instead.. lol.. making lots of noise..

anw with a damn big stomach.. my stomach has been big these few days.. friday had COC parade in camp, after had a big feast treat by CO.. came back feeling constipated.. today also ate another feast.. argh and with the lack of exercise im going to put on weight! and ippt like around the corner.. sian!

i may have found a new hobby.. which is hitting golf balls.. it gets me focus on jus hitting the ball and it makes me forget the troubles and things on my mind.. hmm i seem to be learning fast too! HA! it is by no means easy to hit a golf ball.. really practice makes perfect.. in this relaxing NS life environment it should be ok to take up more hobbies and learn more new things and not just to let time pass.. eventualy when i say hello to the outside world again more troubles will come knocking my way.. till then lets jus focus on the good things coming up.. xmas is coming!!

2008-11-28T18:04:00.000-08:00

i have jus survived one week of doing nth in camp.. lol.. the first of the many many weeks to come.. maybe its jus dat im not used to the laggy lifestyle cos trainee life the past 8 mths have been very fast going, intense and action packed.. mm.. now is the time to let go and relax and grow FAT! seriously i see the pictures of the officers there before and after.. woots like a world of difference. its like the picture of them 30 years ago when they were still schooling! hope when i get out of there i wun be like them.. its terrible to have a belly when u are barely even 30 years old la..

anw now is the best time to do the things i wan to do, relax and catch up with friends.. and prepare for life after NS.. back to chionging books and uni life and what have u.. so instead of feeling frustrated at the slow lifestyle, rather jus enjoy relax and have fun while i still can!! woots :D

2008-11-24T04:29:00.000-08:00

First day at air force and im back home!! jus 7 hours in camp and they allow us to book out to go buy the field pack items and expand all our army credits cos im getting new air force credits.. woots! plus 3 sets of no 3 uniform for parade.. life is going to be very slow going now.. time is going to fly like how snails crawl from point A to B.. so i must be proactive to go find things to do if not i will die of boredom man.. plus being the youngest, u see all the CPL's ORD-ing one by one when u are still the only one left and wonder when its your turn.. haiz..

im wondering whether i should get an apple touch? with it i can see videos whenever i wan, surf at wi-fi spots and many many more lar.

and oh did i tell that im offically the shortest guy in my squadron now? argh.. today doing drills then gota size according to height.. then i saw all of their height.. i auto go the extreme left( for the shortest) and jus wait for them to form up.. SAD la.. im now the SSM-- squadron shortest man!! lol.

2008-11-22T18:29:00.001-08:00

POP LO!! im now a full fledged 3SG signal trained. and i have to report to air force camp at lim chu kang camp on monday which is tomorrow.. its like the other part of singapore =.= spend my time travelling singapore.. why cnt saf build more camps in the east? then i wun have to travel so far..

yesterday night went for buffet steamboat with the newly graduated specs.. everything was going fine at first, we were taking food which was meant for our stomachs.. until mr toh came in to join our table.. the first thing he said was to ask joel aka drug traficker to bring a plate of beef, lamb and pork.. the next moment we knew the three plates were all dumped into the 3 different soups we had our the table.. and that was the beginning of diaster.. you must know he is a 1.8m 100kg guy with a belly that can expand to as big as a table.. lol seriously after being starved at stagmont for 3 months he is like a lion let out of a cage.. going on a eating spree.. i think the auntie was unlucky to have him at her stall yesterday. cos within minutes of re-filling the meat, it was again gone.. yup all in our steamboat! lol.. we had like 24 heads but not all ate cos some came to jus chit chat. in the end i think the auntie got so pissed she counted all of us.. damn la..

time for a new phase in my NS life.. the training phase is now over.. im no longer a trainee and i have to bear responsibility for what i do or fail to do noww.. but i hope things will be fine in air force. i jus hope the politics wont get to me dat fast HA! the pilots there and staff all officers but me only a puny sgt nia.. hope i got my own man so i dun nid to do all the nitty gritty work.. like dat luggy be a man lar.. argh.. nvm its tomorrow! we will see how things work out.. :)

2008-11-15T06:15:00.000-08:00

next friday is passout!! POP LO.. going to be a 3SG.. gota have to take care of my man next time.and man nowadays becomer smarter also.. darn got pte who are PSC scholars lar.. even ocs the scholars also not as smart as them.. cannot anyhow play play with them.. lol

ok today was the very very first time i touched a golf club, let alone swing it to hit a ball.. hmm come to think of it, it felt good! after going to buy my rank at beach road then my father suddenly suggested to go hit golf balls at the range down at east coast.. it was really unplanned.. i was in slippers and home shorts and he was in sandals and bermuuda.. nonetheless we drove down to the range at east coast there.. we went up to the 2nd floor where we could see the whole range.. far ahead got like thousands of golf balls on the field.. left to the poor worker to go and collect after the last customer.. then we went to draw 100 balls.. beside me got this family, the 2 sons barely 6 i guess, already hitting like no body's business! then on my right also got a family of 3, the son young young about 4 also playing already. but i believe the flow of customers have decreased signaficantly due to recession and stuff.. but as long as there ia passion for the game, no recession or whatever will stop people from going to the range to practise. after watching for some time then i took the clubs to start whacking the ball. i was able to hit until a range of 60m man! not bad for a beginner eh. now it makes me wonder whether i should take up the game? i can already play badminton, basketball, swim cycle blah blah.. maybe i should add another game to the list. sounds good cos i already got the upper body strength to have good control of the club and stuff.. woots we shall see in the near future!!

cnt wait for 21st nov!! get my stripes, get my pay get everything! woots!

2008-11-08T18:28:00.000-08:00

i jus completed my exercise endurance 2 days ago. and indeed it was the ultimate test of endurance.. walking 40km with lack of sleep and having to complete tests and stations along the way.. woots looking back i also wondered how i managed to walk thru the whole thing.. halfway along the walk i began to develop cramps in the leg.. but i still continued to push on.. even the warrants tell me not to act hero.. LOL.. but i wanted to complete the last 8km.. so i continued to walk with the group.. walk walk walk until my leg muscles really all cramp at the same time.. wan to bend my knee also cannot bend and the muscles all too tensed up.. i was literally crying out in pain! argh.. then back the the end point the medic had to help me stretch the muscles until i could see him sweating like he jus finish endurance too.. lol.. wa seh really having muscles spasam all over my body lar.. my fingers can cramp for no reason and u jus feel as if u have lost a finger.. damn never felt this pain before man.. even after back in camp the pain still never cease to attack me argh..
of cos i gota bear the pain during the beret presentation by my LTC.. man it was the proudest moment..having passed the worst 18 hours in my life..

went home and started massaging my poor legs who had to carry the heavy weight of my body and the training load.. only then did the cramps start to subside.. heng it start to subside.. then i went to bed at about 8.. sleep until next morning 8, wake up for breakfast and continue to sleep until 11am!! throughout the 18 hours i lost like 5kg in water and salt! one of the best workout i had in my entire life huh.. LOL..

now already feel much much better.. muscles still feel pain but no more cramp.. the result of over-exertion.. lucky the next 2 weeks is jus slack and i dun have to do SOC in the following week! so the next big thing would be 21st NOV.. the passing out parade ^^

2008-11-02T00:58:00.000-07:00

2008-08-24T00:18:00.000-07:00

aye.. its been a week in signals alr.. and i can conclude that my plt mates who actually look so decent are actually horny idiots! and how do i noe that? cos of the kinda sites they surf in the internet room! tsktsk.. the enciks there are quite nice to us.. at least they understand how trainees feel and arnt like those regulars in sispec who jus wan to AA and show off to get their promotions.. dats what i cnt stand.. use trainees like us as a stepping stone.. idiots!

life is getting simplier in signals.. but the only down side is i got less time for myself.. gota study more than other vocation.. at least in infantry u chiong for 5 days weekend u can rest and do ur own things.. but signals still got work to do at home sia.. zzz!! i want my own time to learn other stuff too.. :(

2008-08-18T07:04:00.000-07:00

woots! today first day in signals and i already book out! today is our book out day!! as what my sgt say its jus lots of studying and the need to be very skillful when it comes to hands on.. the technical aspect is important but speed in executing the drills is more important!speed through skill is our motto.. haha.. life there from what i see is like going to mentally challenging and physically easy! for once i can say its going to be physically easy sia.. having like normal jc PT.. hope my next few days going to be fine.. and cy jia you with NBS ok! work hard together! :P

2008-08-15T08:16:00.000-07:00

finally BSLC is over!! getting out of PLC for good man.. promoted liao! ^^ but i dun really care about the rank la.. i jus want the pay.. but the graduation march to get ur rank was sure a high price to pay for me.. after the march kena until so much injuries.. Despite wearing tights, i still kena abrasions sad.. and its not those small area kena but it was the inner thigh from my tights downwards.. the pants which was soaked totally in my sweat continously "cut" my skin through and through when i walk, resulting in abrasions.. and its like i can see some artries already la.. jus one good cut to ur skin enough to make u scream la.. and now im like immobilised and bed ridden.. any movement or friction and i will start screaming out in pain..damn walk until like that is damn imba.. my sgt throughout the walk still keep saying to heck the pain and that there is in fact no pain.. i think he was trying to motivate himself cos he also kena abrasions like us! zzz anw at least its over and i got some time to recuperate.. lol sounds like i jus recover from some serious illness..

and im posted to signals institue.. woots! it basically reknown for how slack the camp is.. lol! but its going to be more mentally stressful from now onwards.. there wun be so much physical strain; at least not as much as infantry when nid to chiong sua like no ones business.. ok a new phase of my NS life.. my training phase is going to be over. getting my rank slowly and going to have my own man next time.. gota take care of them and treat them properly.. moving away from the role of a trainee to a commander.. train hard and command well.. :P

2008-08-09T05:57:00.000-07:00

i had a damn short week in NS.. 4 day work week only.. and 2 days for fibua.. even slacker! but someting damn "interesting" happened during fibua.. there was a darn bush fire halfway during training leh! then ended my whole section took a jerry can with 19 litres of water inside to fight the fire.. yes literally take the cans of water and pour on the bushes!! by the time we got to the scene it was already burning the size of a football field! damn and it was so hot dat we din dare to go too near it too.. so of cos we would not be able to put the fire out without hoses to propel the water to the center of the fire.. plus the wind was not to our advantage too.. in the end we retreated and waited for the CD to come and put out the fire.. well that was defintely not something seen on everyday training.. some people wun even get to fight fire their entire life.. LOL!

tomorrow gota book in damn early to do guard duty.. zzz i wan my sleep!! anw heck it la.. going to POP alr and get my CPL rank!cant wait for 6 more days.. and hope for good news of my new posting..:P

2008-08-03T03:33:00.000-07:00

just back from my first driving lesson.. woots! ok got to drive a car for the first time in my life.. learning the manual type.. at least the engine did not die out when i was trying out what the instructor was teaching.. and i was able to move quite decently too for a first timer he said.. HAHA! ok quite look foward to future lessons of how to move the car and to get used to driving itself..:P

2008-07-26T07:05:00.000-07:00

Despite all the complaining and stuff about NS.. i have to admit that it actually makes u appreciate cillivian life better.. and im jus saying about small things like taking a bath and having a proper meal.. i jus came back from a 4 day field camp and have never bathed or had a proper meal.. and when i came back, and ate a proper meal served on plates and bowls.. man the feeling is jus odd.. and when i came back home to take a hot bath.. it again felt damn weird.. cos i pratically bath hot water only once in the whole week.. and the feeling was also damn odd.. but shiok defintely! ya so back to the point.. NS makes u appreciate how good life is outside and will leave u hoping that there is no war in your life time so u wun be activated to lead such life..

2008-07-19T08:35:00.000-07:00

jus came back from a two and half hour movie of the dark knight, batman! it was defintely worth the money and time to go down and watch it on the big screen.. the tickets were all sold out for cathay cineplexes and all the show slots was almost fully booked for the day.. lucky we were able to get seats for the 330 show.. but in the end it was worth the wait and all.. the show did not dissappoint.. it was a complete action flim all the way.. maybe the start was a bit slow cos they were still building up the plot.. but it was still well done as someone who missed the beginning will not be able to understand the ending parts to the fullest.. it also means to teach u some lessons that it doesnt matter how people think of you; whether they like or hate u.. all it matters is to get the job at hand done; even if it means going againist ur morals.. and the joker was without doubt the "star" of the show.. without the joker, the show would have no meaning because he may be the reflection of the darker sides of us humans when having to go through all the rigour and turmoil of life.. and to finally see the light to be able to smile! basically there are lots of learning points from the characters in the show.. i wan to watch it again man!!

darn im like having a pimple outbreak.. not on my face, but on my body! :(and it got especially bad after field camp when i did not bath for 4 days.. imagine pimple u see on the face on ur body.. i think ive been to heaty for the past month.. sleeping late in camp and stuff.. and the worst thinng is that im going for another field camp next week in tekong.. bring back old memories.. and im going to be the LSC for the whole of the field camp.. so i gota be tip top condition despite sleep deprivation.. push on!

2008-07-12T19:37:00.000-07:00

the end of another hectic and damn fast paced week.. i have been sleeping like only 3to 4 hours everyday this week! wth man and they still expect us to stay awake during lectures..tsk..even the commanders themselves will sleep when on duty lar.. and they just seem to look down on us cos we are A lvl's while most of them are O lvls or poly dropouts.. thats why they sign on.. jealous cos we got a higher education than them? everytime we do sth wrong they will somehow bring up this issue that we are "clever" idiots.. sometimes i jus duno what they expect from us.. just one small issue sbout not passing down message and they can talk about all kinds of shit from saying that we were worst than recruits to saying we are not freaking interested in the course.. haiz.. what can i say? they say in the army dun ABCD.. dun argue, bargain, complain, debate.. tsk.. i cnt wait to ORD!!!!!!!

2008-07-06T01:50:00.000-07:00

its the time of the week again when i have to think about booking in.. argh! the sianess of booking in is coming back to fill my whole being.. at least now the camp im going to is on mainland singapore and not on any offshore island! woots.. farewell to the offshore island!( unless i get posted back there again la)

the last week as as usual; very torturous and kinda slow.. filled with lectures and tests.. there will be more tests more to come in the upcoming week.. hope i can score in them! i could not book out on friday cos sat got some school sports day.. what to build camadarie and closeness among the sispec warriors.. anw i was merely roaming around the games held in the field and picking up famililar faces to catch up with.. there are many ajcians in sispec surprisingly.. some whom can also come up to me to say hi too.. ok i was a bit stunned by that.. but there were also quite a number of zhonghuarians there too.. the next moment i would be scratching my head to try remember their names.. NS really make me more stupid man.. my memory seems to be failing me and my brain seems to be too lazy also.. zzzz

saturday wennt for mr cheng's farewell party.. i had to sleep in the afternn cos i was damn tired.. so of cos i went there at around 8pm, which was 2 hour late.. lol.. and chin and junyong was like why are u so late?! going to kill me that face.. but yiheng said u can come anytime u want what.. even peijin was later than me.. woots! i bet mr cheng feit like a celebrity that night.. we even followed him to his car and all the way until the gate.. yes all the 100 odd of us! and he was like mouth open wide.. waving to us left and right from his car! loL! like a celebrity.. im sure he wun be able to sleep that night... too touched to go sleep eh..

2008-06-28T17:53:00.000-07:00

This week has been truly a very long week! let me see where should i begin.. mon was the a whole new beginning of my NS life in sispec.. no more a chao recruit already.. going to be a commander.. but somehow i felt insecure when i stepped into the gates of sispec.. like im uncertain of how the the near future will be like.. i can be considered lucky cos the 2 most siong company not enlisting this BSLC.. woots! in the end i went to JUILET company.. so wheres my ROMEO??

The next few days was quite slack, surprisingly.. the sergeants there treated us like humans at least.. they dun take us as retards, which is what the commanders in BMTC do.. so it was the end of the stupid practices in BMTC.. but what they said really make sense.. only retards will echo instructions after their sergeants.. =.= It was mostly lectures back to back during the week.. even in JC we never had like a whole day of lectures.. furthermore, the warrant officers in sispec are those really old people.. 40,50's already.. lol.. and they are seriously not cut out for lecturing! just look around and you can easily find people sleeping.. rawks! their tone is defintely monotonus throughout, loud no doubt, but monotonous.. in the end i also fell into the hands of sleep, went down to play chess wif zhou gong..

OH.. i did my very first guard duty on thursday night.. all the way to friday morning.. damn shag man.. could barely catch 3 hours of sleep =_= but lucky i had a partner to do my rounds with.. if not i can go sleepwalking around the complex.. even "those" things will be scared of me la.. lol! but it was a good experience afterall.. get to know what is the riot drill, know the security points of the camp.. needless to say the next whole day i was sleeping in lectures.. who in the world can possibly stay awake in lectures when he had only 3 hours of sleep?? impossible..

we were damn lucky we could book out ono friday.. actually there was supposed to be PT on sat one.. but since all our OC's managed to persuade higher command to cancel training.. to our advantage, we all could book out in a much happy mood after passing out TSR test.. so the next thing left to be looking foward to was CLASS OUTING.. if the PT wasnt cancelled i would not have been able to enjoy myself at sentosa and in the salty waters of sentosa..

was on the same train as hui and ade but only saw them when we alighted at harborfront..lol.. but anw we took the skytrain to sentosa, and when we alighted we were all llke crying why is the sun so hot.. kendrik even borrowed my umbrella.. tsk! shame on such an NS men.. cant even take hot sun.. :P we passed by a few girls in bikini posing for photo shoots.. i think is part of some contest bah.. and yk was like so turned on by what he saw.. horny yk.. deprived of girls when in NS huh.. we finally settled at a sport jus beside the lifeguard's stand.. lucky jia yi brought a mat, if not all our bags are going to be soiled badly.. we started to form groups and embarked on our first game which was captain's ball.. good thing we had yt as our captian.. of cos we managed to win the first set without much difficulty... the losing team then had tasked ade to approach a hot guy and request to take a pix wif him.. lol! at least we din ask her to get his no.. :PP

after dat was more or less water time! time to cool ourselves down after such intense competition.. lol.. needless to say we played captain ball again one last time in the waters.. ys got a red card for standing up in the water twice.. altho she is not dat tall.. but ya should have stood at the deeper regions there ma.. then suddenly it started to rain.. so the rest decided to call it a day and rush for the showers.. but li lei and i were jus warming up.. lol.. guess what we did? yep we decided to race to the other side.. theres this small island about 100m away.. so we raced there, he using breast stroke me freestyle.. surprisingly his breaststroke was damn fast man.. can match my speed.. mann.. but before we could even reach, we heard the lifeguard calling out to us to head back to shore.. AHH! darn so we lan lan swim slowly back to shore..

we went to shower at the gents.. the guys there were mostly nsf.. so they din really bother queueing up for the toilets to change.. but they din really notice the how "exposed" they were.. if anybody were to peak in from outside, they would defintely have nose bleeding man.. wth la.. they should put up like a door to block the bathroom from those who are also walking pass ma.. tsktsk.. after changing very fast, we the guys waited like how long for all the girls to finish bathing.. at the meantime we entertained ourselves with tibits and talked cock.. lol.. got some advice from li lei about BSLC.. cheat as much as possible but dun get caught! woots!

finally after a long skyride, we headed for long awaited dinner cos my stomach was practically growling in hunger.. went to thai accent.. it was then i realise that i would go to thailand for my confidence training.. and here i am eating thai food again.. argh.. maybe i should also start learning thai also huh.. so when i am there i can communicate better with the people there?! rawkss! yt and yanling was super high during dinner i must say.. laughing like mad women like that.. and they even managed to come up with a story for the pictures put up on the wall.. how imba was that? i and li lei jus sat there mouth wide open.. stunned for words.. after dinner the girls decided to sit at the open air area facing the sea and tell ghost stories to scare each other out.. and they were taking turns to scare each other.. but sorry no price to the most exciting story told! LOL! but yeah.. sometimes we have no choice but to believe the existance of supernatural beings.. but jus stay calm and do not panic.. they say if you are scared, the thing can sense it and will play wif u.. lol.. but anw just treat them with respect as how u treat others and im sure you will be fine..

2008-06-22T06:58:00.000-07:00

yesterday went to amk hub for "get smart" the place wasnt like amk hub.. it was more like erm orchard road! u should have seen the steady flow of people streaming up from the escalators and the lift to buy tix for their movies.. then after movies, u will see the same group of people who came up going down the escalators too..

anw.. tonite is the last nite of my block leave.. after that it will be about another 6 months of hell.. left with about an hour before i go to sleep.. packed my bag and everything.. ready and good to go! LOL!.. have to report to camp by 8am and i live in hougang! so lan lan gota wake up early to go down to pasir laba camp.. zzzz... sleepy! sleepy! i shall go to bed soon.. yawns.. good night! :0
Oh ya! good luck to all those going to school tomorrow;P jia you for ur studies..

2008-06-20T09:16:00.000-07:00

Got my posting today.. im going to sispec and going to graduate as a sergeant in the saf.. jus serve the 1 yr 10mths and jus get out of the saf.. done my part for the country.. however looking on the bright side of things, there will be lots of friends in sispec.. about 50% of the BMT mates will be going sispec.. so there's a high chance you get to platoono mates if not company mates again in sispec.. furthermore, we will not tio the 2 most hiong wing in sispec cos they are not having an intake for BSLC.. heh.. so i jus hope i can go thru the 6 mths training safely and smoothly..

Just back from my outing with my NS mates.. man we had quite a fun time eating and talking cock.. as usual majority are in sispec, we had 3 ocs there and those odd ones out.. like theres this guy who is going to guards.. and it was really unexpected cos he isnt the very fit and garang sort.. so i wish him good luck in his training.. dun faint or oot and collect ur monthly allowance of $100 from EP! LOL! Got one person go MP and another one in the saf band.. the band is the most zai one.. stay out vocation, 8-5 everyday, u book in late also nvm cos the pple there dun really care.. WTH.. and u get the pay of a private.. this means u can easily go give tuition at night and earn even more lar.. damn man.. anyway, our sgt clifford also came for our gathering.. he is like our frend like dat.. sometimes we dun even call him sgt, but just his name.. woots.. and he came with damn good stories of his new batch of recruits and how he as a PLATOON sergeant scolded his recruits.. quite interesting to hear how he actually scold them..

my block leave is ending!! a new chapter in sispec is going to start.. put what happen in BMT behind, be it good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant.. take a fresh new start in sispec.. do my best and always USE MY BRAINS!! if not NS will really make me stupid man..

2008-06-19T00:01:00.000-07:00

yesterday went to challenger at hougang mall to get anti virus software cos my norton anti virus was expiring.. in the end i bought a premium norton anti virus for 3 PCS! i wun need all 3 so anyone who wans can come find me.. i will only need 2 at most.. OH ya.. and i still have 2 lisence for microsoft offices vista.. anyone who wans also can find me.. woots..

darn my table really got an infestation of ants.. everytime i bring food to the table they are sure to come crawling all over my table.. grr.. but i jus let them crawl and nvr did kill them.. lol! the moment i take the food off they will also start to disappear.. and when i bring food again they will reappear.. lol.. like very automatic one.. there's surely a nest somewhere near. but im just too lazy to go find them.. jus 3 more days and im back in camp.. and my table is going to be vacant for quite some time..

today just went to play badminton.. played for 40min non stop.. after dat my whole shirt was wet man.. like can squeeze water out of it dat wet.. lol! but felt quite shiok.. i can whack the shuttlecock even further and faster now.. yeah man.. but whats the use i just play badminton for leisure and not as a competitive sport..

2008-06-16T00:52:00.000-07:00

life can be so boring nowadays..especially when u are on block leave.. u see the programs on tv and u wonder if u've been cut from the world for too long.. the news seems a bit distant from u too.. rawks.. everything jus doesnt seem the same as before i enlisted.. living in a different world :x

i jus realised im spend very little.. im low maintanience! LOL! i spend mostly on food, which i also eat very little too.. i can barely finish a big mac meal i once remember.. hmm.. i barely spend one tenth of my NS allowance too.. (unlike some people who spends every single cents!)except the 200 bucks i paid for the safra membership.. dat was like 50% of the ns allowance.. the maximium im sure..

2008-06-14T18:41:00.000-07:00

damn man.. i must have lost about 6kg during BMT.. my pants size is like 3 size smaller! i nida wear a belt now.. without it its like the pants will be too loose for me to wear.. argh.. but losing weight is also not a bad thing.. when u run u dun have to carry so much bulk.. the weight on your legs is much lighter.. now my aim will be to do crunches everyday until i got six packs! LOL! the perfect body for you.. :P

ystd jus went to see the hulk.. and we got to see many military stuff again.. then had a secondary sch class outing... mostly also boys who have jus POP.. so as u can guess, we ended talking mostly about NS stuff again.. haiz sad life everything revolves around the army nowadays.. SAF or USAF.. ahh.. jus for the 2 years of my life.. after dat will be converted back to normal civilian life.. talking about work and everything else under the sun..but for now.. i guess life is still about the military..

going to get my posting nxt fri.. but i should be going either sispec or ocs.. since i put yes to command school.. but ocs is crazy training.. hearing what CO said, the first night is going to be the most memorable one.. go figure.. plus there is still 3 week confinment.. and dat means i will miss the class outing and the farewell for mr cheng.. then yi heng will be like damn sad.. cos he like planned so much for the event.. there is like going to be 4 batches of council there.. woots! big event sia. so i hope i wun be confined for dat wkend man! if not the feeling is going to be damn sian.. knowing there is a gathering but u cnt attend cos u are stuck in camp.. trust me u dun wa dat kinda feeling..

2008-06-12T07:04:00.000-07:00

POP LO! im no longer a chao recruit.. im promoted to a private.. HAHA! anw its not much of a difference la.. jus means that i dun have to go back to tekong every week.. i dun nid to take the ferry ride to tekong unless i get posted back there after my further training.. really lucky to have gone thru the parade without going to the toilet man.. damn was having diarohea for like the past 5 days and counting and it was damn lucky that i did not feel like going to the toilet during the parade.. also with the recent spades of deaths during training.. really a damn wasted thing.. 2 lives are jus lost.. 2 19 year olds.. who are going to be men and contribute back to society.. and it is also going to be sad for their families too.. haiz.. it shows how impt it is to stay and keep fit and know how to take care of yourself.. push your limits but do so safely too!
now is to plan for my 10 day block leave.. what should i do and where go to.. who do i wan to meet and stuff.. going to make up for lost time!

2008-05-31T18:03:00.000-07:00

finally back home! tis week was damn hectic.. had something like 3 high key events for the whole week.. everytime was doing sth intensive.. and i was really pushed to the limit i must say.. when i went outfield, i was literally food for the mosuitoes and the sandflies there man.. my hands were like the sweetest food for sandflies.. argh..

also during the sit test, we literally marched 6km in hour before our first mission.. that really shagged us out.. until we could not even talk during our first mission man.. wth.. but that no doubt trained me up.. made me mentally more fit! during the 16km route march last friday, i actually found it quite relaxing! im like the abrasion king man.. everytime go outfield sure kena abrasions and heat rash.. without fail! sian diao.. then when u bathe after that, u can jus scream out loud in the showers! its like puting fresh and open wound in water..

this wk was also as hectic as the last week.. had sth like 3 high key events too.. we had to finish up the sylabbus so they said.. its so like jc and secondary school where there is this fixed sylabbus to finish.. maybe its jus singapore way of doing things.. darn its jus 5 more days to POP.. to the end of BMT.. and im like sick! down wif flu and mild dirrohea..already din feel good during book out day.. cos usually when its book out day u feel the sense of motivation and morale is high.. but during the last book out i felt damn sian and damn low.. din not feel like eating meals at all even when i felt hungry.. symptoms of getting sick.. haiz..

2008-05-23T20:01:00.000-07:00

2 more weeks to POP! time flies very fast.. i almost cannot remember the time when i enlisted for bmt.. now left jus 3 more important events then it marks the end of BMT! life after that marks another new chapter in my NS life.. many new beginnings we gota face at this stage of life.. with each ending mark a new beginning..
yesterday just had my ippt.. and i must say i nvr ran like i did for my 2.4.. i was literally flying sia.. nvr ran dat fast before.. and after the run was feeling damn shiok, despite the feeling of shagness tho.. the running in SBO and FBO really help to train ur leg muscles.. when u wear PT kit wif running shoes.. u really FLY! and my section turn out to be the fittest in my platoon, with 4 golds and 5 silver.. zai rite..

wasnt supposed to book out on friday night.. actually had to confine to re-dig the shellscrape.. but somehow, someway they allowed us to book out on friday.. maybe it was to allow us to prepare for our sit test on mon.. i hope my detail mates will be fast and smart and not those blur types.. i really dread those blur types, especially in NS cos they will only drag you down in the platoon.. of cos u yourself cant be a blur cock lar.. must always know your stuff and be able to contribute to the success of the platoon.. thats what you must be thinking of..

2008-05-18T08:52:00.000-07:00

ok its been a really long week to come where i am now.. had to be confined 12 days without any book out. within the 12 days, 6 days were used for field camp which was really exhausting and shag.. all the exercise literally push me to the limit and my muscles also started to ache lar.. of cos there were insect bites and cuts and bruises like over here and over there.. i guess all these is a package with the field camp.. i guess it is what makes you become from a boy to a man.. being out in the jungle and surviving only on your buddy and whatever food you have. Also some politics is beginning to blow in my platoon where some sections dun like other sections.. haiz.. tis is a sad case man.. really hope it will just stay as it is and it wun break out until its some damn big issue..

I have just accepted to study nus pharmacy! i rejected the offer to study chem and biochem in ntu.. woots! actually both courses are very good la.. just that the ntu one is more focused on lab work, which i may not excel in.. i dunno.. im afraid if i made the right choice.. if this is the right path to go.. no doubt pharmacist are in hot demand now, but i wun wan to waste my life in guardian being the pharmacist there. right cheryl? LOL

i was like having tis conversation wif my cousin, she was like getting all emo and stuff! LOL.. talking about all of us growing up and then we spend our lives making money all our lives that we neglect and forget those around us.. Five years down the road, u see your class mates it may jus be a simple," hi, how are you, i gota rush for a meeting, take care goodbye." Actually this is really quite a sad situation such that you dont even have enough time to sit down and chat wif your classmate and friend.. And And she also said sth like how far we have grew from primary to secondary to now in JC.. which is also true.. the process of growing is painful especially when you stumble and fall along the way, you gota pick yourselves up and continue with the path you chosen.. True.. the next 10 years will have drastic changes on our lives and the things we do.. So i was jus telling cheryl that we must always make decisions that will benefit us and not to blindly follow pple..

haiz im booking in like 530 later.. jus about an hour more.. everytime when u going to book in, you will have this feeling of sian-ess overwhelming you.. like u have no mood to do anything more.. but look on the bright side of things, it is jus 3 more weekks to POP! 3 more weeks to POP!

2008-05-03T06:45:00.000-07:00

yesterday jus went for aj idol and today went to see iron man.. haha break from the regimentation of army life.. but im going back to the army soon.. tmr at 615pm will be booking back to tekong.. and this time will have to wait for about 12 days before i can book out again.. but nvm i will eventually get to book out after 12 days! and by then it will be 4 wweeks to POP! cnt wait to POP man.. get ur rank and u wun be treated like a piece of shit.. recruits are the most shit thing in NS la.. its like after all the shit u go thru in NS, u come out and its like theres nth u cannot do and wun do.. cos the worst things have all alr been done..
maybe dats wat they say when NS trains you to be a MAN.. fromm a BOY to a MAN!

Ystd went to aj idol.. met up wif old frends.. both junior and senior.. and we were like talking about NS(for guys) and uni stuff( for girls) LOL! like jus catching up the old times( not dat old lar). Aj idol was quite impressive.. the 24th managed to invite down some big shots in the entertainment business, 2 of the judges from campus superstar and also the 1st runner up from the 1st season of campus superstar to come perform as a guest performer too! cool eh.. it makes it all the more worth it to spend time of to enjoy good music.. the performers were good no doubt and the standard was kinda of surprising.. nvr expect to be so many hidden talents behind those silent and quite faces u see in school everyday.. kinda amazing how "well" u acatually know ur schoolmates.. but nonetheless, the performances were nice to watch and the emcee was very entertaining.. he was frm the 04 batch and now being in FASS of nus.. i tink he should take up emcee as a profesional career.. he can do well in it and may take over ghurmit shingh next time.. HAHA who knows man..

Today went to see IRON MAN! the show quite cool lar.. u see tony starks living on top of the steep cliff.. wth la! i tink even in 10 lifetimes i also cnt afford dat kind of money.. and his sports car also damn zai.. Audi brand.. but my dream car is not dat, i wan a nissan ceiferio as my car next time! ok work towards that goal! ok im so going to bed now.. its like lights out timing back in camp.. if im caught not sleeping im so going to be like doing night pT.. so nites guys.. blogging again only 12 days later.. take care!:P

May day May day...

2008-05-01T18:12:00.000-07:00

yesterday was mayday.. thats why I could book out in the afternoon.. SHIOK MAN! cos no one is supposed to labour on labour day itslef.. lol.. nonetheless, after bookout, we went to SDC, Singaporean Discovery Center to learn more about singapore past.. seriously if i had a chance, i would prefer training than going to SDC man.. after that my section of 13 pple went for lunch together.. went to kfc for like the first time after being in NS.. woots.. and i finish it in record time of like 10 min for two piece chicken.. we were all like damn hungry and starved ghosts.. lol! Ian was like sitting there waiting for us to finish so he can rush home for who knows what purpose.. he is actually born in australia, but duno why he become a singaporean.. then lan lan have to serve.. but he is a rare breed lar..

THe last week of NS was kinda slack? At the first day of the week on monday, the sir there come talk cock wif us.. then he go declare the week welfare week.. so in the end we dun nid to run from place to place and we jus nid to walk fast.. hmmm seem like a damn good deal.. tis type of things never happen in NS b4 sia.. anw its only for 3 days.. and the nxt wk we will be confined for 12 days.. doing REAL training now outfield.. so its going to be siong no doubt.. my first outfield unlike those ncc days where u jus go to the sch field.. really child's play sia.. tis one is the real deal guys..

haiz.. nus offered me pharmacy.. and ntu offered me chem and biochem.. i jus found out nus offer last nite when my frend told me to go check it online.. which one should i choose.. both courses are also good.. if i choose pharmacy the only ting is easier to get a job when i graduate cos singapore lacking in pharmacist.. so should be easy to get one.. but i also dun wan a low paying kind.. earn peanuts sia.. as for chem and biochem, the sylabbus is damn vigorous.. and when u graduate is mostly labwork and ur jobs will be in the industry where u may do R&D or sales and mkting or even manufacturing.. hais.. now at cross-roads again after taking such a long time to put down the choices for the application.. but then again i shd be thankful i got my 1st and 2nd choices cos its damn competitive nowadays to get into university.. many of my frends cnt get into the courses they really wanted.. so i should stop complaining.. singaporean trademark to keep complaining..lol!

2008-04-25T18:48:00.000-07:00

first 2 weeks of confinment.. time passed very slowly.. like a snail crawling to the finishing line., zzz lucky got my section mates and platoon mates to joke around with and to talk.. my buddy is like one of the only 2 smokers in the whole company.. and he is also one of the rare person who is holding a dipolma instead of the A lvl cert which the majority is holding.. and there's another guy on my left, who acts like a gay man.. he keep comenting on the nice legs of our physical training instructor(PTI) sends shivers down my spine.. then theres also one australian, but singapore PR.. so he also has to serve.. he is super fit la.. but duno why sometimes wana slack around and do nothing.. haizz.. in NS u really meet all kinds of people.. if u tink u know the world, think again.. its filled with many mysterious things and people someimtes it jus overwhelms u..

AND theres tis one sgt.. wa lao! maybe its jus him la.. but the way he walks really makes him the model of tekong man.. really u shd see how he walks.. unbelievable. and when he talks.. woots man! what he says usually become our "motto" for our platoon.. u get what i mean.. LOL..

2008-04-08T07:03:00.000-07:00

Does absence make the heart grow fonder? Hmm.. im going to enlist into army in 3 more days.. on fri, april the 11th at 1130am.. and the funny thing is my mum is more excited about it than me.. -.- Im like so heck care about NS lar..maybe cos of my experience in NCC for 4 frigging years..so i know more or less what to expect in NS.. some more with all the new imposed restrictions like no pumping as punishment and all the crap.. anw the ting is my mum is like so excited she keep bugging me to finish packing my stuff cos i keep doing them in bits and pieces.. lol.. anw i jus stuff and squeeze everyting into the bag of mine cos they are going to issue you another bag, the green one which im sure im going to dread carrying it by the end of BMT.. snw after tis fri im not going to be home for dinner and not be at home to sleep.. so dun miss me people!

Today i waited for how long just for a dinner.. which is also part of life.. in life nothing comes the time u wan it to come.. you have to wait most of the time.. so it is this waiting which actually make you think and consider what you want is really what you want and how should you go about doing things.. I learnt a lot jus from tonite's dinner and the things we said will be remembered! Thanks dude!

Last weekend as civillian :(

2008-04-06T09:15:00.000-07:00

today marks the last day of my last weekend as a civillian for the nxt 2 yrs.. after which i will be considered a full fledged NS man.. NSF.. zzz.. actually i hope that i can defer NS and get into med sch! then i dun nid to be so hiong.. jus come back as LT rank and serve as MO.. hehe.. not bad also!

Anw ystd had a class outing an drew's house.. They went to amk hub before that to go buy some food which we will be eating for dinner.. ya.. but i was busy so could not join them. sorry guys! reached drew's house at 630 with stella.. kenneth MY kendrik and yk were majong-ing.. i see how they play also blur cos im a majong idiot.. whenever i play also za hu= false win lol.. i still need a teacher to guide me how to win properly.. so i went to the hall to see tv instead.. it happen to be some kickboxing show.. they really kick and punch without any mercy man.. altho they are supposed to be friends? shugs.. then the shorter guy gave the friend a sharp punch in the face which caused him to land on the floor immobillised.. waa i was like stunned at how flat he landed on the floor and laid there not moving.. anw of course he stood up stunned and the show just ended.. lol.. the 2nd half of shows we watched coyote ugly, which is a dvd about how a girl in new york who actually write songs, but has trouble singing them in front of large audiences.. During her path of self discovery she landed up working in a coyote bar in which she actually does bar top dancing.. Until when her dad and boyfriend saw her working in such a uncouth environment. She had to leave the coyote who were becoming family and eventually found her strength to sing her first song with the support and encouragement of her father and boyfriend..

ANd today i went to the esplanade with my sec 4 class.. We actualy walked into quite a high class bar.. we took the roof seat and had a good view into the sea.. but when we open and looked at the prices of the food, we actually had our jaws wide open.. so guess what? we actually told the waiters and walked out without paying at all! SO MALU! the waiters were still very nice not to force us to order sth before leaving and still saw us out with a smile.. ahh.. made us feel very very bad.. :( This teaches u to see the price of the food and if you are willing to splurge or not.. This is going to be the one and only time i ever walked out of a restuarnt without paying man.. What a waste of time and effort.. Ended up at new york new york eating the giant yankee burger.. shared by 4 persons.. the waiter said if you could finish the whole plate on your own then it will be on the house.. woots! but i was not hungry and did not have much appittite, so finishing it single handedly was totally out of the qn.. LOL!

Last weekend as a civillian! last weekend! i cannot go to church or to the gym like i do on a weekly basis for the next 2 weeks cos of confinement.. ahh.. really take away lots of our freedom.. we cannot do this or that.. hais.. anw hopw the 2 weeks of confinment will end fast and the 2 yrs of NS be gone in a flash!

2008-04-02T07:56:00.000-07:00

yesterday was april the first, april's fool's day.. then during lunch i recieved an sms from cy.. saying sth like i noe i hate me but dun gossip behind my back.. lol.. but then the thing is i totally forgot yesterday was april fool's day lar.. so got tricked by her.. and i was really thinking if i ever gossipped about her to my frends.. LOL.. and after that it was revenge time for me.. so i sent out the same msg to a few pple and saw their funny msges they sent back! LOL.. got one even call to ask and he almost apoligise to me! (which means he got gossip behind my back) Then when i told him april fool's he was like >.< to me.. totally dumbfounded by the joke.. and one thing i noticed was that all the guys i sent to did not scroll down the msg to find the april fool's.. So they ended up tricked by me:P as for the girls, somehow they knew it was not real and that it was meant to be a joke or sth without even scrolling down to see the april's fool joke.. interesting.. women seem to have this sixth sense, lots more sensitive about such things..

Anw that was the thing about april fool's.. Today went to my cousin's opening ceremony of his restaurant, which is in east coast park near to the big splash.. the food was not bad, quite good in fact.. had cripsy chicken but exchanged half of it for half of ribeye steak :P got the best of both worlds lol.. It was great lar.. got the restaurant tinge in the cooking.. but after the main course and with drinks was so full that had to actually force down desert.. lol.. my stomach is so darn small and inelastic u see.. LOL! anw the opening ceremony was very successful and people had fun there eating and chatting.. so good job! :)

GOt one darn funny story to share.. we were talking during the dinner and found out that such a person actually exist.. During the cny gathering my cousin went for, something like a close clique of frends everytime take turns to open house.. So the hostess, the wife of a very good frend of my cousin-in-law was like this
" You all cannot lo hei inside the house, after drop on the floor will be dirty."
So they went outside the house to lo hei..
" You all dont lo hei until very high hor, after dirty the overhead lamps.."
Then she is also very particular about people using her toilets that whenever someone finishes using it she will go in to inspect LOL!
so she will tell the kids" You all dont drink so much water huh, then wun go to the toilet so often.."
Then while walking around the house, they found the shinest dustbin ever in singapore. You can see ur own reflection.. woots! zai man!:)
And then they went gambling, playing cards that kind..
To her husband," Give me money to go play wif my frends, winnings all i keep, any loses u help me pay.." =.="

And they had to remind me that NS was in 9 more days.. actually 8 more after mid night.. and that i will go bald, OH YA.. got another story to tell.. they say got this boy, still a boy lar.. so pampered by parents.. he woke up at 3 am in the middle of the night, call his mother demand that he wan to eat chao gui tiao.. LOL! then the poor mum gota wake up and go buy and then drive to the camp to deliver to him some more! tsk lar.. really pampered nowadays.. make his mother wake up go buy food and deliver in the middle of the night some more.. dont worry i will not do such tings so u can sleep soundly until the next day!:P

2008-03-29T01:09:00.000-07:00

whao.. i did not sleep for the whole of last nite.. it was a heck of a night spent out man..

First, i went to the hospice to attend the annual staff dinner which also marked the last day of my time being there as an unoffical volunteer.. LOL! anw the 2 hours spent there was damn hilarious lar.. cos we organised an angel and mortal game for the staff to play as part of staff bonding.. and i must say that adults playing the game are sometimes quite comical.. they can mistake their angel as their mortal and their mortals as their angels.. And the MD was so zai he could guess the identity of the angel just by the writing on the letter.. U see he guessed the angel must be a left hander, just like him, and is defintely a guy.. so as u noe guys make up only like 25% of the staff and even lesser are left handers.. so like dat he guessed his angel.. >.< unbelievable man.. Throughout the 2 hour i was constantly laughing my guts out man.. laugh until my jaws actually pain.. never laughed like that for so long alr.. No doubt this session also let me know the staff there more personally when they are off duty and when they let some slack.. They can also be really fun people..:) anw when the time came we had to say our goodbyes reluctantly and i had to head to ajc for the geeks nite which was going to start.. I will go back and visit them if i have the time to before i lose my hair and my freedom.. 13 more days to go..

I reached ajc at 905pm.. waited for the class to come, or rather wait for just 5 more people to come cos the girls ps us by pulling out at the last minute.. anw the first event up on the list was movie screening- i am legend.. LOL! with all the big talk of the show and stuff.. its over rated luh.. just a will smith, a dog, some men and women who have been infected with some virus.. is a plot which is too commonly seen in cinemas nowadays.. after the movie most of us were like half asleep alr.. and then tiffy went ahead to play the games of taboo and pictionary.. woots! its still the first time that we played such games at such a late hour man.. never have i done such tings at like 1am in the morning.. usually will be sound asleep in my cosy bed..:P nonetheless, the games were fun and we derived much joy in the acting and drawing of the pple who went up.. my class managed to guess everyting i drew or acted out correctly! :")

After the games and everyting, it was about 230 am alr and it was like free and easy.. so some went to the nexus to sleep.. some went to eat, some went to play bball to get their blood flowing to their brains to keep them awake.. as for me i jus sat down and talk cock wif the people there.. AND at 4 am, heneritta began to mark her homework which were the assignments for the p3 students in chongfu primary.. LOL! at 4.30 am in the morning in ajc in the midst of geeks nite.. once in a lifetime experiece @_@.. halfway she went to the nexus to sleep also cos she was showing signs of lack of sleep.. so kenneth and i took over the marking.. we marked until about 530am finishing all 43 scripts.. we laughed at the stuff the kids wrote at p3! and i sorta found it hard to believe wrote such stuff when i was in p3 too! LOL! if u ask me to teach pri sch kids, i tink i can go jump off the building man.. we stayed on for about an hour more before heading back home for some much needed sleep..

2008-03-25T20:51:00.000-07:00

phew!! back from morning training^^ went to hougang stadium to jog at 830 in the morning.. and usually i will stil be comforatbly in bed, in dreamland dreaming who knows what.. :") but anyway, today had the resolve to wake up on time at 8am and then cycle my way down to hougang stadium to meet grabriel.. we had this idea of meeting up for morning training last nite when we met up to celebrate liyi's birthday.. lol..

Anw we warmed up by stretching and stuff and i realised my bones were like so stiff luh.. zz cnt even stretch my leg and have my forehead to touch my knee which i could do easily last year.. or rather 4 months ago.. woots. sian! im enlisting in like 15 days +-.. and im supposedly in the batch who are very strong and fit.. argh.. i tink i go there will be the lousiest luh.. GG man.. should go for more morning trainings.. means sleep early wake up early and go training.. nids lots of determination.. YES i am going to do it.! :P

After that gab brought me to his SRJC to collect his apprasial for application to NTU.. and i mus say the campus has improved a lot since i last visited it like 2 years ago.. U see i used to use the SRJC track to run and train when i was in secondary school.. Usually on weekends, we will just go there cos its damn near my house and its of course free! HAHA.. i tink i would have gone SRJC if i din choose AJ la.. so near everyday wake up at 7am also wun be late one.. but anw the campus is really pleasant and spacious and jus nice luh..OH YA.. then we met a few of gab's friends.. then there were like 3 guys there who like repeat students.. one repeat j1 again and the other 2 repeat j2 to sit for the A's at the end of the year.. wa lao lah.. u noe why? the 2 who retook A lvl is cos they got Ungraded for GP! but the got almost straight A's for the other content subjects.. imba! but GP really cmi.. so GP is REALLY impt and pple dun play a fool in GP lessons.. pay attention and keep focused!

Anw came home and took a cold shower! SHIOK MAN! the weather really damn hot nowadays.. last 2 weeks it was still raining everyday and now its alr so hot?! gobal warming lar.. should go take cols showers man.. its damn cool:P

2008-03-20T22:27:00.000-07:00

Today is good friday..Just went service in the morning and came back to sleep.. zzz sleep until 1230pm some more.. last nite came back damn late.. 12 mn stil at zhi kai's condo the BBQ pit there talking cock! i reached there at 830pm after the church service for holy thursday.. hm..by the time i reached there, most of the food almot finish le.. woots.. so jus had 2 chicken wings and like a fish ball.. anw i din wan to eat so much cos the day before already had like 1 and 14 of a youtiao! and its like so darn oily its make up of pure oil.. LOL..

the day before wennt out wif yt to vivocity first and then to her work place at west coast at the republic of singapore yatch country club.. LOL! she went there to deliver lunch.. hmm :") and guess wat? we stopped one stop earlier than we should. so we ended walking in the rain one bus stop and then all the way into the country club! the rain was rather heavy and we were like soaking wet by the time we reached the country club.. The security guard was like stunned when he saw the 3 of us all wet and soaked to the skin and one girl holding an umbrella.. LOL! he practically opened his mouth la.. anw after delivering the food, we took the shuttle bus back to clementi mrt where we made our way to dobhy guant, plaza singapura where we watched the rule #1, or di yi jie in chinese, where kenneth had to leave halfway for his HOT date.. tsk la!

And now im jus back from the council gathering which was held at juls house.. Met up wif dean and feline at amk mrt and took a bus down to her house.. Nth much.. we jus sat there and talked cock! but mostly we talked about NS stuff like where they were posted to.. and su guan and kenneth kept suan-ing jeanice and her driver.. LOL! hilarous lar.. we also caught a movie which was bring it on- all or nothing.. which illustrate the typical life of a group of teenage cheer leading students and the rivalry among them.. typical american lifestyle lar.. but we mainly spend our time taling and catching up wif each other.. AND spencer cut his finger while opening the canned soup.. shows how much we actually step into the kitchen huh..

2008-03-14T09:33:00.000-07:00

Just back from ktv-ing and drinking a bit here and there! woots :P we( the staff and volunteers from assisi) went to bukit timah sixth avenue afte we knocked off.. we were lucky to have doctor lim who was our "niang" or mother and Doctor Ong who is our "die" or father to join us.. LOL.. thn we who are the youngsters are the children.. so we are like a family with the father, mother and children.. lOL.. ok we get a bit crazy and carried away when having fun.. but when they work, they are really professional and serious.. so i mean that is what make a balance life.. you work hard and play hard. know when to be serious and when to let loose.. we really saw the adults go crazy tonite.. drining alchol and talking rubbish and playing all the finger guessing games and stuff! not forgetting the singing part too.. we sang mostly jay chow songs at the begginnign to warm up our voices.. HAHA! The other groups of people who were there sang very well man.. almost as good as the pop stars themselves.. well i know i can never sing until like the stars.. impossible..i will be glad if i can be half as good as them tho! :PP

I really enjoyed myself tonite la.. the company, the place, the songs and the drinks.. Singing songs can sometimes relief the bottled up feelings you have inside you so u jus vent it all out.. lol.. anw being a doctor is hard from what i see in our "father" and "mother".. they cannot even drink the least of alcohol, not even a drop cost they gota be on call as and when the patient requires.. So throughout the session, they had to find all kinds of means to abstain from the alcohol which the rest are having la.. sometimes its tough to resist such temptation too.. being operational ready at all times reminds me of NS like dat.. lol.. imagine being called up in the middle of the night to go back to the hospital.. ya imagine..

nonetheless, you will feel secure with this group of people.. maybe becos of the differnt age group you have, the older folks will tend to be more fatherly or motherly toowards the younger ones.. so you will like feel loved? LOL! or is it jus because they are doctors and medical social workers? Such that they are able to make people feel comfortable around them.. hmm.. anw im tired and i need to go to NUS open house in like 10 hours time.. so im going to sleep now.. :P

2008-03-11T09:57:00.000-07:00

Just back from my secondary 4 class outing.. It was meant to be our post A lvl results celebration.. uhhuh.. which means we all did like quite well.. with the average having 3,4,5 A in our A lvl cert.. then we were like saying what we wanted to study in the univeristy.. and we were like throwing out all the professional jobs.. " I wana study medicine!" " I wan to study law and business double degree" wth! law is already hard as it is and my friends still wana do a double degree.. hehe good luck bro!

i have until the 1st of april max to make up my mind what i am going to study and what happens if i cant get into my first choice.. do i wan to go overseas to pursue an overseas education.. ahh BIG decisions for me to make.. i must take into consideration the costs of living and much much more and i dun wan it to be such a burden to my parents..:( should i pursue my dreams despite the hefty costs involved? im confused!

And as we sat at brewertz for the dinner.. we began to gossip about each other grades and what ever we could think of.. And of course we found out that not everyone did fantastically well.. of course there would be someone better than you.. but you will also find someone who is below you.. so i mean always look at the bright side of life! the A lvl results are jus so insignificant part of life.. its jus to help u to get into a good course in the university.. just as a good PSLE is to get u to a good secondary school and a good O lvl to getinto a good JC.. a good univeristy to get a good job.. LOL.. see so for those out there who din perform up to expecctation, dun be disheartened.. life has much more to offer you than just grades.. Continue to hold your heads up high and take on life's challenges as it is, not forgetting to put on a smile on your face too!

A LVL!!

Today was the doomsday! the judgement day where we will take back our A level results which we completed last year in november.. and it seems like so far away maybe cos ive been slacking for too long.. for the past 3 mths.. It really seems very far away when the A's was over.. Come to think of it.. I could not sleep last nite man.. toss and turn around in bed until i finally went to sleep.. somehow i actually feel the effect of anxiety when i am not doing anything.. so next time i should always do something to occupy my mind and keep it away from the results.. I also shuld make full use of my remaining time left and get the cold engine started! woots!P

Talking about results.. i actually duno wat to say about my results.. they are not fanastic like all straight A"s.. not very poor with C's and D's dat kind too.. This however will put me above average in the cohort and above many other people.. but the people in aj is not representaative of all the people in singapore.. the people in the top few JC's are defintely much better than the other jc's.. and especially i will be competing with them if i decide to apply to go into medical school.. oh well.. these people have always been good and zai pple.. how to fight with them anw.. "shugs"

Anw back in the hall, i was seriously damn tense when miss leong was announcing the results la.. and bio dropped a lot man.. from 90% AB last yr to 50% AB tis year.. Its like this trend of this year very good then the nxt yr drop and so on and so forth.. So similar to the stock market man.. so unpredictable la.. hmm.. i mean its the same in life la.. mus always be able to adapt to changes and fluctuations..

When we queue to get our results.. its like a struggle within ourselves.. its like whether to go ahead and take it from miss ma or to wait a while more until we tink we are ready to get the shock of our lives? and some people who cnt take the stress will sure to cry.. and u will just stand there and loOk at the person blankly and u like duno how to comfort he person.. i hate such crying scenes cos u will automatically feel like very sad even the paper on ur hand may seem good?

My teacher once said in an examination only got 3 type of pple.. First is the type who noe they will do well and they do well.. the second type are those who ought to do well but ended up doing not so well and the last type are those who wun do well, but the actual results are much better than expected.. so everyone should strive to be the first kind and always be consistent in your work.. do not compare wif dat of others but to that of your own ability and strive to be a better yourself! :p

sometimes i think i am jus so lucky..

2008-03-05T08:00:00.000-08:00

okk its been like 4 days since i have blogged.. got lots of things to say about.. lol! Being able to go to the hospice to volunteer really helped me to open my eyes to the world around me lo.. working with people really allows you to see their opinions and i believe each story they have to tell all have a learning point to learn.. And as you hear all these stories, you will really grow out of your jc mentality of being structured cos the world out there is all filled with uncertainity and many a times, it depends on luck, on who you meet and how motivated you are towards your goals..

I have also currently just finished my part of one case, which involves typing down his life's journey from university until when he discovered his disease and how he dealt with it.. haiz.. it was really sad going thru his life story.. and the only thing comforting at least was that he took it in his stride and was soo strong.. and the thing that strike me was that seeing how people struggled and fought in life's most trying moments actually exemplifies the strength of the human spirit.. It shows that human's potential is unlimitless! Although i have not seen him in person, but i truly admire his courage and strength.. Whenever i try to put myself in his shoes, i really cnt imagine what will become of me.. haiz.. thats how fragile life can be sometimes.. And i really hope my spoilt brother can understand this.. and stop being so wilful.. haiz.. i hope after the talk we had, he will wake up and understand how pampered the school environment actually is..

2008-03-04T07:50:00.000-08:00

I passed my Basic Theory test yesterday! Congrats to myself! I can start looking for a private teacher and start driving a REAL car on the REAL road.. woots! anw the qns in the test was quite lame man.. Some of the questions never seen before one.. what how many meters should you stop before a bus stop if you want to stop for loading and unlaoding? nonsense!

Anw these few days has been quite boring, just following routine.. But today i was quite efffecient in transcribing! i managed to finish about 30 odd minutes of conversation and transcribe it into chinese into microsoft word format.. but it was really tiring man.. sap my energy and can see stars when you go take a walk.. Its probably i fried my braims so much after the A lvls man.. Come to the topic of A lvls, the results will finally be released on fri, 7th march at 230pm! woots..After half a month of rumours.. the results will finally be released.. Got some really stupid rumours say cos the batch did very badly, and they needed time to moderate so they push forward the release date.. blah blah.. all full of crap lar..

feb 29

2008-02-29T07:18:00.000-08:00

Just back from my run and have bathed.. feel refreshed and good.. dun feel exhauted by the week long of work :P
Anw i gota revise my BTT for one last time before i go to sit for the ACTUAL test on next mon.. then if i pass i can start the practical lessonse le! hehe.. driving a REAL car for the first time then..cool man..

today had lunch wif 2 of the social workers and my frend.. this lunch was very revealing lo.. or i shd say we learnt a lot about each other's private life.. As in i did not expect them to be so different after they knock off.. As in, their very serious and professional look while working will never let me imagine they are the kind dat can drink until drunk.. LOL! Looks can be deciving lo. And u nvr noe anyone's true colours until u meet them and talk to them at the personal level.. there is always more that meets the eye.. so in this i learnt to more discerning and careful when i make friends in the outside world. Its not the same as making friends in school where fellow students will not have ulterior motives.. dats how scheming the world can be sometimes..

anw this wednesday we may be going to ktv to sing a few songs and have dinner until 10pm.. well, i hope A's is not out on tues lo, if not really no mood to go for this outing le.. zzz.. really hope i can do good enough to apply into the course i wan to go in..

2008-02-28T07:57:00.000-08:00

today i was supposed to supervise a bunch of jc kids while they polish the wheelchairs for the hospice.. of course i was trying to tidy up all the details like where should it be held and the materials and where to get the wheelchairs.. my usual planning mindset kicked in for the time being.. and yuan ting overslept until about 12pm so she decided that she din want to take 15 mrt stops down to Novena mrt and then a shuttle bus to the hospice to help me out.. so it was like left me and wai tsun to handle 23 SAJC students and we seriously hoping they will be enthu in cleaning wheelchairs.. a bit hard to expect huh..
But when they came, we saw their teacher, wanyi, who was sooo young la! only mid 20's and also the demure kind. I wonder how she could handle a class of Saints.. LOL! anw the class was very cooperative and the 6 boys were helpful enough to help retrive the wheelchairs from the wards from the 2nd and third flooor.. They were jus very cooperative and wored well together! somehow i could relate very well with them maybe cos i have been thru wat they have been thru and ya we clicked very well lo.. The teacher was also very cute lar.. also took the cloth and began to help by cleaning the wheelchair.. hehe :))

After lunch they began their performance and games which were specially prepared for the old folks in the home care section.. i must say they are quite high bunch and got people who can dance, play the guitar and sing.. not bad huh.. lol.. i also met tiffany from RJ who wai tsun always mention to me.. Only today i realised that there were 3 december babies volunteers and im not the only one.. LOL! we are quite fated together hehe!

After all this, it was my own quiet time where i had to help a patient to rush out his llfe account by typing it out on my laptop.. lol! seriously its a sad story and you can jus cry while typing if you are emo enough lo.. After an hour, our eyes could not take it and we had to have our tea break of chicken pie from hans! Thanks shirlyn! The people there are so nice lar.. at the very least they are sincere in the words they speak and not the kind that do not mean what they say.. Maybe its becos they witness death every now and then that they really cherish life and those around them.. anw break time from typing the patient's story is over.. back to work!! :p

2008-02-27T07:38:00.000-08:00

My day has finally come to an end.. ever since i started the volunteer work i seem to be happier in my life.. hmm.. im seriously considering if i should become a long term volunteer there.. lol..

I woke up with my throat feeling really dry.. AHH.. and i could like feel the phlegm in my oesophagas.. had to gaggle a few times before the phlegm could be expelled! AND it was like dirty green in color! EWW la.. gota get rid of all the phlegm cos its making talking hard.. i feel like its going to come out of my nose anytime la.. it will be such a disgusting sight if it happens man.. sorry guys!

today i used my free movie voucher to watch juno at junction 8..the movie is about this girl juno, who unexpectedly get herself pregnant.. and how she went against all obstacles to have her baby. She suffered lots of criticisms from friends and family but was still cool about it and i really admire her on that count. But she really proved herself to be cool throughout the rest of the movie.. She took the peer pressure well and thru this "ordeal" saw who were her true friends and did not stigmatise her cos of her pregnancy.. She said one thing about finding someone who is able to accept her for who she is, flat belly or bared chest and everything.. LOL! funny but it is true and the toughest part of it is to living together happily for the rest of their lives. Maybe thats why some people just prefer to stay single and lead a carefree and burdenless life with no spouse and children to root them down.. :P

live life to the fullest;)

2008-02-26T03:45:00.000-08:00

2nd day at the assisi hospice! I found out that i was working with a team of medical social workers(MSD) who actually are social workers taking care of those terminally ill and waiting for their time to come. Their main duty is to fufill any last wishes they have and also to accompany them or basically to just be their friend and take care of them. How noble of them to devote their lives to this meaningful job which serves to brighten up the lives of others in distress. I really admire them who are willing to sacrifice so much just to fufill a patient's needs. They are willing to use their only spare time, the weekends, to go out of their way to help the patients at the hospice. It is defintely heart warming and glad to know that there is someone out there who cares for u, even it is a stranger for that matter. This is where i find the volunteer work meaningful and life enriching. From the hospice, we get to learn many life lessons and never to belittle the days that we are granted by god's grace!

Anyway, today i learnt how to clean the wheel chair. LOL.. cleaning the wheel chairs made me perspire until my whole shirt was soaked lar! But i managed to clean 2 wheel chairs in less than 3 hours. not bad already for a first timer! hehe ;) Havta thank wai tsun for his instructions and his guidance in this aspect. ari-ka-toh! LOL!
So after today's experience, i have to teach a bunch of secondary kids i presume on thur how to clean wheel chairs.. This is as part of their CIP commitment.. not bad eh.. so fast promote to become a teacher alrady! woots. i must be a good teacher for about one and the half hours! Anything they leave hanging will have to be cleaned by me! zzz so they better do a good job on thur! OH YA! yuan ting is also coming on thursday.. Very long never talk to her alrady.. since she got the job at the singapore yatch club. She has been talking to rich men who can afford a US$40 million yatch lar! ok anw looking forward to this thursday..

Assisi Hospice:)

2008-02-25T01:57:00.001-08:00

Today was my first day going to Assisi hospice to volunteer my services there.. Was there primarily because wai tsun, my PAE classmate dragged me along.. but anw since im am not working, i dun mind going there to volunteer my services and to do a good deed. The people there are friendly and all thanking me for coming to volunteer.. LOL! anw im considering whether i should continue to be a long term volunteer which means i will go back to the hospice at least once every week to help out in the admin aspect or jus to help in the maintainence of the hospice.

I reached there at about 11am and "saved wai tsun" from the dread of their team meetings which can last until 2 pm, eating directly into their lunch period.. That is how chiong the medical social workers there work.. They jus want to ensure that the patients get the best care they can while they spend their last days on earth.. based on this aspect alone, the people there deserve my respect! The hospice is jus beside the mount alvernia hospital, which is a well known private hospital. When I walked in for lunch at about 12, the wards are actually quite high class. All equipped with air condition and a maximium of 6 beds in each ward. This can easily meet the B class ward in the government hospitals like Singapore General hospital..

Anyway, our job for the day was to clean up the storeroom which was basically full of wheelchair and portable toilet bowls and many other unexpected stuff like a fish tank, bag of rice and cushion which we found when clearing everything out. LOL! Shirley said we would need to take at least 2 days before we could finish cleaning up the whole store room but we proved her wrong! having started at 11am, we finished cleaning the room at 330pm! woots! nice timing man.. only 2 guys cleaning some more ok.:p of course there was an unexpected downpour and we had to quickly shift all the wheelchairs into shelter lest they are spoilt. If i use all my life savings also cnt make up for the losses man.. wth lar.. its dat many wheelchairs.. LOL

2008-02-24T05:23:00.000-08:00

im feeling tired now.. argh! somehow teaching tuition to my bros drains my energy and sap me of my energy!zzz And i still increase the hours for tuition to 7.5 hr each week. How good would it be if im paid man! woots! :p

today is a very normal day.. a day of rest from the past few days of outings wif frends.. Next week will be also quite hectic too cos i will be going to the assisi hospice to help out my frend who managing the logistics stuff over there. But i was told the mood there a bit dead cos the patients there are like waiting for their time to come.. ok i hope to bring some laughter to the hospice in my one week there.. :)

Next friday is feburary 29! a once in 4 yrs affair.. and i hope to do sth special.. LOL.. i dun wan to be just stuck at home again!! yup going to find sth to do! ;>

2008-02-23T08:12:00.000-08:00

Ahh today was a very long day.. As i type and wait for my hair to dry before i go to slp.. Im really able to appreciate the hair on my head now man! i see the NS guys head really bald dat kind.. woots! sorry guys!:p

Today i went to my frend's church which is near somerset mrt.. It used to be a movie theatre and the pastor which happened to be a women bought it over, did a few revonations and became wat i saw of it today.. But really, the members there are all frm 15 to early 20's and can be said to be purely a youth community. And the way the youth's praise the lord when the band played was defintely a statement of how GOD's grace was still active in the world today.. Following to the pastor, Shirly, and how she eloquently presented the story of the prodical son in a very differnt light to the youth's sitting there. But one thing that struck me was when she questioned what life had to offer every individual one of us. Is it just movie after movie, or just studying and exams after exams or just working and working? At the end of the day, you will question yourself," Is that all in life? Thats all it has in stored for me?" And i am sure we have felt such emptyness before, and the road to MORE will starts with a decision to make god the center of our lives and constantly count our blessings!

After service ended i went to city hall mrt to meet stella to pass her some cd and then wait for andy soo before going to j8 to catch a movie with the threesome-- andy me and kenneth.LOL.. 2 NS guys and one civillian watching movie.. we watched ah long pte ltd! and the show was sure funny with the funny stuff mark lee was doing in the show.. he is a good actor able to act professionally:P can be my idol alr..
but the show was quite worth the money and time cos in certain parts, it clearly reflects the culture and image of singapore in certain scenes lo.. Laughed until my stomach a bit pain man, especially the scene when the gun dropped into mark lee's pants and when they wanted to shoot! funny man, the whole theatre was laughing uncontrolably!LOL!

2008-02-22T08:31:00.000-08:00

Today's been a really long day! It first started with my pre-Basic theory test at comfort driving school at ubi ave 4.. You need to hit 90% in order to pass man! and i only got like 86% lar.. anw its just a trial test and at least now i noe wat are the type of qns they will set and i can prepare better for the REAL THING!
When i was sitting for the test hor, there is this 30+ uncle sitting rite beside me lar and he was so flustered that he totally din noe wat to do.. then he keep asking me for help.. then i had to explain everyting to him in chinese somemore. and since the room was like to quiet, i was sure everyone could hear what i was talking la! so malu!

Then after that, i went back to aj to witness the finale of the orientation 2. I must say it ended with a blast and the seniors who went back ended up on the stage dancing "Its going to be me" on the stage. From sitting at the back at the begginning, we went all the way up to the stage! not bad huh! After the dance, we were totally panting heavily lor.. and we had to admit that we were "old". haiz we really felt that we were so old facing the 24th and the JC1's.. maybe it was jus because we missed studying when we go out into the working world.
Anyway, i tink we may be going back to help out in the training of the councillors and the cca heads to prepare them to take the role of instructors of the Alpha Bravo camp and Delta camp cos of the manpower shortage.

Over dinner, we kept debating whether jeanice was more guy or more girl.LOL! i noe its rather lame but she jus cnt stop popping up that question when we are over the dinner table. haiz.. jeanice jeanice! can u have more self confidence in yourself and not be swayed by what other people say bout you! self confidence ya girl? maybe you should listen to what mar mar suggested. Try to dress up more often and dun talk about guys stuff like RSAF and NS ok..

Bored~

2008-02-21T18:39:00.000-08:00

Im going to sit for my pre-theory test later at 115pm.. Im really bored of studying so i came here to blog.LOL! Anyway i tink the basic theory shd be relatively simple.. Many who have taken it says its quite brainless actually.. the options they give are like jus duh.. LOL..

MOrning teach my 2nd brother interview skills for his upcoming poly 'career' which he will need dearly as he is not the type of smooth talker who can just talk his way through his poly years.. As for my youngest brother.. he is a headache as he doesnt even noe whether to go JC or poly..

It's SUNDAY

2008-02-17T02:26:00.000-08:00

Today was another typical sunday.. I almost could not wake up for church at 7am. I should really try to reverse my sleep pattern back to the normal 12 to 6am sleep. If not when i go to NS i will sure suffer from sleep disorder man! sharks i should sleep early from tonite onwards.. You wont see me online late in the nite anymore. woots!

My friend told me that the A's is going to be released on either late feb or early march.. She called MOE to "ask" why got so many different rumours on the date of release. LOL.. so people, be mentally prepared for the A's and start making preparations for ur uni, go open house and stuff like dat.. eeks! the thought of seeing the slip of paper which holds my A level results alr send shivers down my spine.. I hope i wun be dissappointed or at the very least is within expectation.. "shugs"

I went to the gym in the afternn as usual.. This has become my weekly regime and I will feel odd if i skip gym-ing. Sometimes you just go there and see how hulk-like those who frequent there are and u will feel zi bei. But i dun wan to be like them.. I am already short as it is and i dun wan to be shorter anymore! nah i wil just go gym to maintain my fitness and to maintain my health.. yup :p

happy!!

2008-02-15T10:33:00.000-08:00
Last nite I went to city hall to see the chingay preview parade. Although we went there very early and had to wait for like an hour or 2 before the first float came by. woots! The F1 car that started the parade was damn cool can. It could cover like 100m in 2 seconds and make a U-turn on the 3 laned road. ZAI!

I spent like about 2 hour trying to figure about imeem.com, trying to create a playlist to put on my blog. Of course without the help of cheryl seah( i gota add your surname cos i know to many cheryl LOL!), i guess I would not need to sleep jus to get that playlist you see under the credits up on my blog! Anyway, the playlist contains some of my most favourite songs! Mostly from zhou jie lun, 5566, Sh!n and mayday.. If you want to hear other songs feel free to tell me and I will put it up for you:p

SBS?

2008-02-13T23:34:00.000-08:00
I'm really not happy over what this bus driver did to me. It happen like 2 wks ago. Having jus finished JC, my EZ-link has alread expired. So when i wanted to buy an adult ez link, the mrt personnel told me it is actually ok not to buy the adult card and i can top up the value of my old ez link and pay the adult fare using my old card.

But one day on the bus, i used my ez link and the bus driver say it has jammed his system and then confiscate my card. like wth lar. How can an ez link card jam his system? He say the card expire mus go buy the adult one. So who is telling me the truth? Isnt there a fixed regulation regarding such issues??!! For nothing i get my card confiscated and it really spoilt my mood for the class outing i was on my way to.

And today when i called the hotline to enquire about this issue, they told me the bus driver hasnt even submitted the card to the head office. Means he is still holding on to my expired card! Even if dun give me back the card i still wan my money back can.. wth such a failure bus driver. tsk tsk

Tiring day!!

2008-02-13T07:18:00.000-08:00
Today was a rather tiring day for me. I met up with hui ting at amk library to teach her the whole statistics sylabbus for her final semester exam. >;<. This was because she has been slacking for the whole semester and playing computer games where lectures were concerned. Tsk! PEople never do last minute work or those friends around you(like me) will be the ones that suffer! Anyway, i must say i am amazed at the accounting people at the poly study! Its comparative to the standard of the A level ok. But the questions they ask is very odd i must say. Anyway, it was a big eye-opener for me!

Wednesday, feburary 13, the day before valentine's day. I read an article about valentine's day on TIMES magazine and it was rather insightful. It criticised the current generation that they do not know how to appreciate valentine's day and treat it as a day which couples spend lavishly on flowers and a romantic dinner. They also said Valentine's day can also be said to be the single's awareness day and it actually alienates those who are single. IT sorts of create the pressure on them to want to find a date or just to get occupied with either work or family. Ya lor.. So for those couples, know how to cherish each other and to spend this day with meaning and not just to go thru the motion of feburary 14!

Another ordinary day

2008-02-11T07:28:00.000-08:00
Today was a very very ordinary day. I stayed at home and helped my mum with the things she asked me to do. Help to clean up the mess and to organise the older stuff in the house. Looking through all the invoices and the warranty cards of the appliances that we bought while clearing up the house really made me know how much appliances we have bought over the years and actually how hard is it to maintain the things in the house in running order.

Another thing was that i heard many rumours of the release date of the A level results. I have heard many many rumours until I was rather skeptical of the news i heard from friends. Some said that it would be released today and some on this wednesday and some this friday. All this rumours only serve to make people more confused! grrs.. Im going to skin the people who keep making such baseless rumours.

My cousin also gave me a website where I could find all the chinese songs of the taiwan and hong kong singers! woots! thanks dude! Today besides helping out at home, I also spent the time catching up on the music world! I listened to lots of the latest albums and I must say the songs are damn nice! Studying for the A's really deprived me of good mucis :x Nevertheless, from now onwards, I will not be deprived of good music! HAHA :0

The link is www.baidu.com and it is a china website.

Sometimes life jus sux

2008-02-09T17:21:00.000-08:00
Sometimes life just sux, especially when you are the big brother and you have small little brothers who think they are so smart cos since young you get scolded for anything that you do. When they grow up, they think they are like princes where everyone must wait on them and can even scold you and shout at you like you are their servant.. wth lar go to hell can. He thinks he is cool and can afford to tao you when he does not need you. But when he does he tries to act nice. What a damn hypocrite can. And the worst think is he thinks that he is still in the right. Darn spoilt brat.. I must teach him a lesson one of this days man. Continue to act in this way and I tell you, he will only get more unpopular. If he still does not want to learn i really rest my case.

Chinese New year gathering

Today is feburary 8, the second day of the lunar new year. My brothers and I went to jog in the morning albeit the warm weather. I just needed to burn off the excess calories that has accumulated yesterday when i ate with no restrictions when we were going visiting. On top of that we still ate quite a heavy dinner. Woots!

After which having bathed and changed into my new clothes, we made our way to my uncle's place which is just 2 street away. My uncles' and aunties' take turns to host the annual chinese new year gathering at their house. This year it was at my second aunt's apartment at hougang ave 8.

We had to wait until everyone was present before we could lao yu sheng. We( me and my cousins) had to wait for our turn to lao yu sheng. First was our parents generation; 2nd was those 20 and above from my generation. So because im jus 19 this year, I had to skip and wait for the last round :0. Next year i am so going to be 20 and i can rightfully go after the adults! Muwahaha! :p There was only ethane to represent the third generation. Ethane is my cousin, felix, son. He is so cutee and keeps crying lar! Only want his mummy to carry him. other than he will cry when anyone try to carry him !

I spent the afternoon in edwin's room playing with his playstaion 2. The game i enjoyed the most was drum mania which is supposed to be an arcade game lar. We must go to plaza singapura's arcade to play the real thing one day! The songs are all in japanese though. But who cares, as long as the song is nice! Thats all that matters.lol We also played games like need for speed and smack down! haha. I haven played smack down in ages lar. But I think it still as nice as ever.. Seeing the wrestlers beat the hell out of each other.. woots. thats a bit evil.. :p

Cheryl and edwin also saw some jap show which is so touching that cheryl actually cry when seeing as she tells me online! LOL.. I ought to see this serial when i got time. See if it is really that touchin.. Actually it also tells us to cherish those we close to us and not to let opportunites slip by!

Reunion Lunch:>

2008-02-06T02:10:00.000-08:00
6th feburary.. Today I met my secondary school mates back in zhonghua sec to see our teachers and our old pals. I have to say zhonghua did well in the recent O levels and cliched an aggregate of 10.9! Bringing her up to the band 1 catageory.. IMpressive!! keep up the good work and i hope that zhonghua willl stay in the band one catageory in the next decade i hope! LOL

The culture of zhonghua is now very very different from what it was when i was a student.. It is now much more open and in a way more fun.. Maybe it is just that i learn how to appreciate it more when i am no longer in zhss..

My sec 4 frends have barely changed.. They still used to be what they used to be.. Swee kun as high as ever, zhi kai still as passionate about photography as ever, ivan as money-face as ever. LOL. the list goes on..But yi de has changed his name to yi da and his sense of fashion has changed drastically! His hair is longer than mine! >.<

We sat at the back of the hall during the cny performance. Talked lots of crap, made fun of the performancers, talked about our work and slacking and our future plans as well.. Well of course for me i was slacking and got nothing to talk about my work life.

We went to lunch at botak jones at toa payoh north Blk 970! It happened to be the place where i took up my first job. And if everything goes well, I may also work at SPH( Singapore PRess Holdings) which is also 5 min walk frm our reunion lunch. Hmm i seem to have a lot of fate with the place.. LOL! :0

I came back home and went jogging to burn off the calories i gain at the very fattening lunch i had jus before the reunion dinner. This 'allowed' me to have a great appitite for the dinner. LOL.. Anyway there was a great spread of food at the reunion dinner. We went to my grandma house as usual and by an hour our stomachs were too full to put in anymore food. I totally like put on 1 kg after today's lunch and dinner.. haiz after cny must go joggin and gyming to burn off excess calories..

First post!!:p

First post First post! This is my first post on my new blog.. LOL.. ok I am really too bored at home that i actually start bloggin.. Actually it is also because my cousin also keep asking me to get one..
Currently waiting for my A level results which is dued in like 2-3 more weeks time :o and of course i am entering NS on april 11, 1030am.. But in the meantime, I am like slacking at home.. Eat sleep shit and go for constant workouts at the gym.. hmm..

Yesterday went to NTU school of biological science for their open house.. Went to raffles place mrt to meet peishan. It was raining heavily and the rain and wind combo made both of us soaking wet by the time we boarded the shuttle bus to NTU. LOL.. Come to think of it, lucky we did not catch a cold man!

After registeration, got free pop corn and free drink.. not bad sia :p then went into the audi to hear the presentation by Prof Law about the NTU school of biosciences followed by a movie on how James Watson and Francis Crigg discovered the double helix structure of DNA..

NTu takes in only about 170 students and only 2 batches of students have graduated so far and almost all have no problem in finding jobs thereafter.. But the students there said the focus is primarily on how to perform research work in the lab and I not the kind that can survive hours in the lab.. argh! i will die while working one day! lol.. i don;t think i am going to pursue a career of research..
