Having someone that is loud and vulgar,

shameless and disgraceful,

snobbish, arrogant, and full of yourself,

it was never enjoyable to be around you, and it would never be.

It was of disgrace, distraction, and ignorance.

Man, grow up already.

Stop being simple-minded, short-sighted, and childish.

You ... need a

BRAINWASH.

2009-07-25T21:57:00.005+08:00

sometimes ...

#1. it takes two pieces of granites, a few pieces of dried leaves, a gust of strong wind, lightning, warm weather, and a piece of dry land to set the whole forest on fire.

#2. it takes two pieces of granites, a few pieces of dried leaves, a gust of strong wind, warm weather, and a piece of dry land to set the whole forest on fire.

#3. it takes two pieces of granites, a few pieces of dried leaves, a gust of wind, and a piece of dry land to set the whole forest on fire.

#4. it takes two pieces of granites, a few pieces of dried leaves, and a gust of wind to set the whole forest on fire.

#5. it only takes two pieces of granites to set the whole forest on fire.

but ...

#1. a piece of granite, a stalk of feather, a few pieces of dried leaves, a gust of strong wind, and a piece of dry land free us from our worries of a forest fire.

#2. a piece of granite, a piece of raw calcium, a few pieces of dried leaves, a gust of strong wind can free us from our worries of a forest fire.

#3. a piece of granite, a piece of gold ore, a gust of strong wind can't create no fire.

#4. two pieces of granite under water, a few pieces of dried leaves, a gust of strong wind, lightning, warm weather can't create sparks big enough to emblaze the whole forest.

#5. two piece of diamond under water, with every other thing dried up, will have their frictional heat lost to the surrounding buffering waters.

it doesnt hurt so much anymore ...

Dear Teoh Teng Yong

Thank you for your application and your interest in studying at the Nanyang Technological University. As you can easily appreciate, we receive a record number of applications every year, and each application is evaluated on its merits. This unfortunately leads to a situation where we have to be extremely selective for the limited places on offer.

I would like to assure you that the University Admissions Selection Committee has considered your application to the fullest extent before arriving at this difficult decision.

一个人要是因为自己的缺点而躲躲藏藏, 在别人的眼里, 只会显得虚伪.

可是 ...

如果他勇敢地克服自己的缺点, 与坦诚地面对别人, 反而令人敬佩.

2009-03-31T19:43:00.002+08:00

hm, haven't been blogging much at all. perhaps that's why I take quite a while to construct sentences when it comes to writing my reports and essays. :S well, the days have been very stressful for me recently. ratio of work to leisure is like 10:1. but why isn't my lifetime wealth increasing at all! less leisure means relative price for leisure is higher this period than the next, means higher wage rates, means less consumption, means more savings! ok, pardon me for the economics. i call this ... forced indulgence. i really miss orchard road, but its like less than a month to exams now. i've been watching a few movies though, but not in town .. on a side note, looks like we're having many nice shows this season! watched marley and me, hotel for dogs. craving for street fighter, transformers II and confessions of a shopaholic! well well, with everything chunked into 1 paragraph here .....

i'm off to study ... again.

december rocks, i swear!

first, its holidays! (YEAH EXAMS OVER!), then its our 3rd month together! then its her birthday on the 9th! then its my birthday on the 16th! then its gonna be christmas!! and of course, there's finally new year's eve! (: uni life's sucked so far, but I dun care, for it's vacation now! and although its just gonna be one month, I dun care either, for we've got lots and lots and lots to do within this month! (: I've actually wrote down a list of about 20 items which we're gonna accomplish within this month (as much as we can), teehee. oh well well, I think I shall jus start off with PHOTOS! (:

baby's 19th birthday cake!

outside Fullerton Hotel!

MY 21ST BIRTHDAY! ((: [Thanks, Baby!]

Mt Faber!

on the cable car!!!

view from the top :O

peacock @ sentosa

sakae izakaya @ siloso beach!

sitting by the sea :O

songs of the sea!

christmas at vivo!

Hmm, so yeah, as I was saying, december's a BLAST! I can say I wake up every morning looking forward to every single thing that's gonna happen! and also, I've come up with a phrase - faster slp, faster reach tomorrow! yeah man, a brand new day with brand new stuff, as if full of surprises everyday!!! it just doesnt get dull! movies, shopping, foooooood, stuff ... etc etc! its so WOOLALA~ and I'm lovin' it, seriously. this is the kinda feeling when i totally forget about what school is like! forget the definition of school term! almost indescribable, but incredible!

16 Dec made a difference in my life. it marked my 21st year old - a legal adult now. parents treated me to a meal, and bought me presents in advance. to me, birthdays are just yet another day, not mucha difference. 'cause what matters most, is to be happy. one doesnt always have to be restricted by how old he or she is! it's best when we simply ourselves! and ... haha, i self-proclaim that ... i'm thus not that old! .. yet! ;P
to add on, someone very special in my life had made this occasion an exceptionally pleasant day for me. (: she's none other than my dearest girlfriend. a plan, so flawless and totally unexpected, like instant sugar-rush! surprised me at my place in the morning with all my favourite food - sashimi sushi, cream of mushroom, a chocolate birthday cake, pringles etc! [caught me off guard! :p] mount faber in the early afternoon, first trip by foot! cable car ride to sentosa, first time too! sakae izakaya lunch, first time too! then watching songs of the sea, first time too too too! and finally, movie at vivo! ((: totally loved the day. how i wish time could freeeeeeeze!

THANKS, BABY!!!!!

for spending this special day with me, especially when u were not really feeling well! (:

hmm, and of course, we've still got around half a december to go! and, teehee, im looking forward to every single day!

screech screech BANG

thank God!

I'll not let anything bad happen to me (:

all the way!

2008-10-25T21:51:00.006+08:00

it hurts ...

to see you enduring

the heavy work load

not able to help at all.

words are spoken;

easier said than done.

how i wish

i could help a lil more.

the least i can do

is to stand by you,

accompany you,

encourage you,

always ...

and i wanna do just that.

remember ...

the sunrise tomorrow

will always be a nicer one.

and also ...

never give up,

for you have me,

always ...

Love, me. (:

updates!

2008-09-25T21:45:00.000+08:00

nong tarm no sea. like rilly rilly nong tarm. :O

updates updates updates .... dunno where exactly to start from. since i dun exact know where i stopped the last time. hahaha.

ok. like .. its recess week now. and midterms follow right after that. that means .......

yours truly is kinda in deep shit. HAHAHA

C'MON, give me a break mannnn. i thought the term "recess week" sounded quite nice. but that was BEFORE realising the hidden agenda behind this short break, i.e. midterms!! alrighty, i've got 3 exams next week. new media, econs, and chemistry. and i've only been mugging on econs so far! new media .. hmmm, not much, and chemistry ... NOT AT ALL. wuahhaha. shiiiiit.

C'MON, give me a break mannnn. whoever said university life was easier and more flexible than JC is sucha big time liarrrrr! 5 modules to juggle each semester, mugging after school everyday, getting stressed over tough econs questions, no more time to play tennis on weekdays ... NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER BEEN SO HARDWORKING! o.m.g!

but well, gotta admit. its still just the beginning phase of university life. i guess things are just as bleak for every other freshie. the sudden change in environment - from constant spoonfeeding to totally independent, restriction from social life, and brotherhood to muggerhood for guys. all these are the things that we're just gonna adapt to! and the thought that we're really confused over what to memorise or study for the modules that are totally alien to us, i guess, is just as thought-provoking for everyone else ... on a lighter note, it's really true that we're beginning to see more and more rays of light as time goes by, which is a good sign! (:

hence, a positive remark regarding uni life would be "its all a matter of time before we get used to everything and be enlightened"
while ...
a negative remark would be "when the tough gets going, the going gets tough. the only easy day was yesterday"

WUAHAHAHA. :x

its been soo long

2008-09-13T00:32:00.001+08:00

but short and sweet

From brotherhood,

to muggerhood ...

2008-08-03T20:06:00.004+08:00

O change the world! yeah, thats the theme of FASS orientation camp! :) started on 31st july. first few days were okay .. :)

i belong to Sherlock house! blue blue sherlock! and my OG is Sheriff! not too bad. the thing i like bout my OG is the cheers! very distinct from others, very creative and original! hahaha. :)

S is for Super house,
H is for High up there!
E is for Everything,
and R is for Rocking cool!
we'll LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK, LOCK u up!
we'll LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK, LOCK u up!
we'll LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK, LOCK u up!
we'll LOCK U UP!
"chk!~"

oh yeah, and well done! my OG only has 5 guys. the rest of them, 15 ladies. so for the guys, its kinda like a 1 for all, and all for 1 thingy. ONE pon, ALL pon! HAHAHAH. sheesh. well it was quite hard to clique with the others in the beginning. but we gradually did la .... our OG grew from super un-enthu to QUITE enthu ... maybe cos we won ALL our station games in the first day! morale booster eh! proud of ourselves! :P

something very annoying bout NUS - its so FAR AWAY! and reporting time for o camp has been like before 9am! omg ... tmr is 730am!!! crap, that means i gotta leave home at around ... 6am ?! SIAN LEH! oh well, its for some freshmen welcome ceremony ..... :\

okay! more updates when o-week ends! :)

like finally ...

2008-07-28T12:06:00.000+08:00

yeah! LIKE FINALLY, at last! im blogging a LONG-AWAITED proper post. more time to blog .. since i'm not working anymore! wef today. hahaha.

so yup, friday was my last day of temp work at e&y. mixture of feelings. it was happy-sad, and bitter-sweet. lol ... aww. yeah, happy that its my last day at work, sad that im leaving the nice people there, bitter to bid farewell, sweet to have some people saying "do come back, we'll rmb you .." :)

i can say that my 2 mths + tenure there was a rather smooth-going one, since my jobscope was quite simple. hahaha. didnt learn much though .. more of application of what i've learnt before. but of cos, basics like interpersonal skills kinda like ... hmm .. levelled up ? haha. not forgetting the people whom i've met there. mostly v nice ppl. kept in touch with the HR executive there, so it'd be easier if i wanna go back there to work. wuahaha! :p

and now .. photos phOTOS PHOTOS ... :)

got my first pay last week, and already starting to deplete that sum! omg ....... i needa / am gonna get a new tennis racket at queensway tmr, since the current one looks like its dying fast. lol. i've set my eyes on babolat aero pro drive, the racket that clay king, rafael nadal is using! tried it out using ian's. felt good! so i don't care! i'm gonna be a copycat .. wuahahaa.

i also got my hair dyed! like .. brown. but there're 2 tones. i told my hairdresser to retain some of the black hair, so that there could be 2 different color tones, and it won't look flat ... :\ i'll post pics if i happen to take any. LOL. hehe, and with coloured hair, it means FREEDOM! ORD LOH!! :x

ok, tired. gonna slp now. got driving lesson early in the morning tmr. ):

I'M TELLING YOU .. LIFE AFTER ORD ROCKS MAN! oh yeah, hell yeah!

first, i was jobless. i could have a WELL-DESERVED BREAK, despite much whining about being jobless in my previous posts (which was a blessing in disguise, i guess). and next, i'm working! WOO, income! for 2+ months, that is. nonetheless, it means i'll be occupied! and not rotting at home doing nothing! hehehehe. so glad that doreen (my recruitment agent) found me a job in a well-known international company! though the work's quite brainless, but i don't really mind. hahaha! :D

yup, that is it. e&y. basically, i do boring registry work. handling staffs' requests and other ad hoc admin stuff. reach office at 0830. don't really have work until 9+ ... morning break at 10+, relax for half an hour, lunch at 1230 - 1330 ... tea time at 3+ ... start to rest at 5+ ... go home at 1730. HAHAHHAAHA. the perm staffs there are rather nice people. a few potential eye candies here and there .. HAHAHA. hmm, guess time really flies when im working.

actually, i didnt really like the job on the first day. but gradually, i feel that its quite worth it to earn $6.50/hr such a way. LOL. yeah yeah, ima slacker. and what's more, im in such a good company, it'd be a waste if i didn't cherish this opportunity!

one raffles quay!

entrance pass!

sea sweet sea!

going DOWN!

heh, more updates bout work soon! :D

late night food hunt!

2008-05-02T19:06:00.002+08:00

woolalal, as planned, supper on wednesday night since thursday's a public holiday. :) although im currently jobless and thus have a tight budget, nevertheless i'll still pamper myself by hanging out and hunting for nice food with a group of friends at night once in a while .. :D

a little last minute (again :p), and some other guys couldnt make it; left with ian, ben, king and myself! didnt really know where to go .. since time was running out, we settled with holland v. decided to bypass zouk to see how the pre-public holiday cum ladies night queue was like. hahaha it wasnt surprising at all. :) it was indeed crowded, but wasnt as crowded as little india on saturday nights (at least ian could drive off without much difficulty). LOL.

first stop - crystal jade in holland v. im beginning to fall in love with their wanton mee (& soup)!quite alota ppl having supper too. in fact, the whole village was rather happening.

second stop - 2am dessert bar! very nice place ... wasn't my first time there, but it still felt as refreshing as my first time there. :) very cozy cafe/bar sorta place with couches to lie on. its not the kinda place that you would go with your gf/bf, but instead with a big group of friends. good place for gathering and chilling out. the prices of the stuff there are a little expensive, but like what ian said, you pay for the place, not so much for the food. click on the link to see their menu.

a lil sneak peek of the place (adopted from some other blog :x)

the bar

the long row of couch!

the choice of 3 ice creams (conquered!)

hot chocolate with churros (1 churro conquered!)

ian and king shared the choice of 3 ice cream - brazilian chocolate, chocolate and espresso flavours. its NOT ADVISABLE TO try brazilian chocolate. it tasted like ... vomit flavour. HAHAHA. eek. the other 2 flavours were good thou. ben and i each ordered the hot chocolate with churros. omg heavenly. :)

i just stumbled upon this hungrygowhere website recently. i guess its just good to sort the kinda good food that you like before heading out for a feast! :D

5 days after ORD

2008-04-24T19:12:00.002+08:00

JOBLESS !?!?!?!

omg damn it!

damn damn damn! i've been looking for jobs ever since approx 2 wks before ORD! and im still bumming around! :( sheesh, and i can feel that i'm really starting to rot at home, little mushrooms and fungi are growing all over me, ants starting to build nests and soon i'll be deep-rooted onto this chair of mine. yeah, what fantastic imagination :x sigh, its just too boring for me to tolerate!

nyway, i went for this uni medical checkup on monday. so-called FULL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. fwaaah! not again! "a..hem. pls pull down your pants, cover your mouth and cough." HAHAHA, thats the shit that most NS guys would FEAR! but nope, it didnt happen again. basically, they just recorded my height and weight, tested my eyesight - which i screwed up cos i didnt bring my specs along, then urine test and chest x-ray. dumb pinoy radiologist made me wait 1 hr cos it was their lunchtime. i was there! then she said "sry, come back laytah, lunch tarm." :\ win already lor. it was my final station man. i went around to explore my school-to-be. there wasnt much people around cos apparently i was their exam study break, but most of whom i saw were none other than NERDS. :s oh shit, im worried. hahaha. oh well, i believe in such a big campus, there must be other species besides nerds and supernerds. hyak3.
met ben after the checkup. he's back from china. so many days of dog brain soup, perhaps he wouldnt choose cream of mushroom anymore. HAHAHA. walked around town. looked for WALLETS and BAGS and umm ... TENNIS RACKETS. usual stores - braun buffel, AX, crumpler and stadium! hah! for the first time, i might actually consider buying another bag besides a crumpler. a black nike bag i saw at stadium. its actually big enough to occupy and laptop and some other stuff in it! the only con is that it's not a messenger bag and thus it looks flat :( argh, still thinking through ! bought a white puma t-shirt at royal sporting house :D ... ken joined us a lil later. had dinner and hung out till quite late (again, didnt feel like going home, lol)

watched THE HOTTIE & THE NOTTIE at lido shaw. funny show that ended with a romantic touch. alota parts really cracked us up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)

11pm now. i'm chatting with casper, who's still stuck in office .. wait .. wait a min, what office ? u mean ... NS ? oh, oh .. i cant really rmb u know, ORD LOH!!! HAHAHAHAHHA.

ord loh ...

2008-04-20T00:00:00.001+08:00

oh ah oh ah ORD loh !!!
finally, after 2 LONG years!
don't really know how to describe how i feel, but i guess its a mixture of feelings ... mostly happy though. :p

looking back, it feels like the 2 yrs has passed just like that. breakneck speed. memories came flashing back.

especially BMT days. those were the most memorable days, i believe. the days when we enjoyed as a platoon, got punished as a platoon, trained as a platoon, stormed our fronts as a section, slept outfield, live rifle range, grenade range, sang songs ... and of course, did lame shits and covered up for each other. lol. those were the most fun days! and i know i really miss those days.

but sadly, after pneumonia struck and got me downgraded to the worst service grade ever, i was never able to lead such a fun life anymore. truely, being a clerk has no pride, unlike people who could make it to command schools like OCS or SISPEC. but since i knew my fate was sealed, i had to look on the brighter side. although i couldnt lead a platoonic life, no combat trainings, no missions, no operations, it was a good opportunity for me to learn skills that will be applicable to working life in future alongside other counterparts and colleagues. it was rather tough for a start, but as time went by, i kinda settled down and accepted my fate (reluctantly, lol)

yesterday, 18 apr 08 - finally marked the end of my 2 years NS. i was able to be released with a reasonable rank, and a clean record! got an 'outstanding' for my cert from the blessings of my bosses and other officers. i was very eager to leave, but that was before going round to bid farewell to my colleagues. but after going round, it really felt like im gonna miss them a lot. those farewell emails that i got from people across the navy really touched me too. when i visited the naval base for the last time on wed, i got a little emo ... lol. cos it was my last time there, no more chances to see big vessels, or even go onboard ... :( somehow, i feel that im quite lucky to have known many nice ppl ... and i know fate's been treating me well cos apparently i've achieved my special goal! HEHE :p farewell high-tea with bosses and a few colleagues and friends at hotel carousel. sashimi galore! hmm .. boss presented me with my service cert there, and everybody there was like ... STARING ? my friends clapped, then some other random people clapped along too. so paiseh :\

*** side note ***

and at this point of time, lynnette is telling me that my blog post is gonna be boring, cos its about ord.

hahahaha. yeah like i've said before, GIRLS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND! :O so yea, bear with it, DCG :D

***************

CELEBRATION with bmt mates at night! there was daniel, xuan, keith, joshua, michael, conan and myself :D lol, as expected, a few of them pangseh-ed. we went to breko @ holland v. yeah 7 of us caught up quite a lot, and of course, not missing out GOSSIPS! looked like xuan's had some gay threats. poor guy. HAHAHA. hung out till 1+am, then to crystal jade for supper. then the weather was a wet blanket .. so we had to scram for our homes. :S it rained SUPER heavily. like we couldnt see anything from inside the cab .. but oh well, we really had fun. woot! 3 cheers to ORD!

girls won't understand anyway ... :X

late for school? blame puberty

2008-04-09T22:12:00.000+08:00

read this article from the papers. i thought its quite true :D

------------------
scientists have confirmed what parents of teenagers have always suspected: adolescents are out of sync with the rest of the world.
most teens probably do not get enough sleep and suffer in their schoolwork because their internal clocks make them night owls, according to a study published last week.
researches in australia showed the average teenager misses more than an hour of sleep each night and is forced to wake up two-and-a-half hours earlier than his or her natural rhythms would dictate.
high school students with a late-night "circadian preference", as the biologically-driven cycle is called, reported doing more poorly in school, and feeling more frequently depressed and unhappy.
"for all people, there is a genetic disposition to being either a 'morning lark' or 'night owl'," explained lead author suzanne warner, a professor at swineburne university of technology in hawthorn, australia.
but when hormonal changes kick in at the start of adolescene, young people start to stay up later and - given the chance - wake up later, too.
most of the students in the study were such "evening persons", she said. "teenagers find that they are most alert in the evening and do not feel sleepy until later, and so find it difficult to get enough sleep during the school term."
the key is melatonin, a hormone that signals to the body that it needs rest and sleep. as teengers enter puberty, it is released later and later in the evening.
there are also environmental factors that contribute to the problem. ambient light tends to minimis the amount of melatonin secreted, and the constant use of computers could keep adolescents up past their natural bedtime, even after the lights are turned out.
"parents can lower the lights and switch off computers and televisions an hour before bedtime," advised prof warner.
in the study, prof warner and two colleagues compared the sleep patterns of 310 students during a school term and while they were on holiday.
whereas teenagers slept more than nine hours during the school breaks, they averaged less than eight hours when hitting the books.
compared with "morning larks", "night owls" were more likely to have negative attitudes about themselves, to express feelings of unhappiness and to voice irritation with their classmates, according to the study, published in the netherlands-based Journal of Adolescence.
they also complained of low energy and "impaired" daytime functioning.
"for classes that start before 9am, we have to question whether the students will be alert and able to learn," said prof warner.
previous research has shown that nine hours is the optimal amount of sleep time for teenagers.
circadian clocks are found in organisms ranging from bacteria to human beings, and impose a roughly 24-hour schedule on our activities, such as sleeping and eating.
the mechanism controlling these rhythms is found in individual neurons located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei inside the brain. scientists have identified at least one gene that determinds whether one's "clock" will be naturally set for early or late rising.
the same process is involved in jet lag, warner points out. "you could say that a lot of young people feel quite jetlagged coming into the school term - it is a very similar feeling," she said.
parents should rethink a tendency to let adolescents set their own bedtime schedule.
-------------------

well, i guess we're all normal afterall! ITS OK TO BE NOCTURNAL CREATURES! :D and guess thats how they're so many emokids around these days. LOL. :)

sunday routine!

2008-04-08T22:14:00.000+08:00

balls balls balls!

played tennis with ian, pb and justin. and apparently, court 2 didnt seem as appealing as court 1. the area was very much smaller ... as in the sides and the backs. so it was decided that in the event that court 1 is taken up next time, we shall not play. lol. :S oh well, off form, gotta re-string racket! :(

next up, shopped for working belt! after going to a few shops in PS, i still couldnt settle down with any belts. last resort - JOHN LITTLE. lol. not bad ... i managed to get a belt! something that looks pretty alright to me, and best of all, $22.95, cheap cheap curry pok! HAHAHA :D but the belt was tooooo long. i had that cashier to puncture 4 more holes on the belt. that guy gave me a gayishly astonished look like "HUH? 4 ?!!" lol. i doubt it would fit him either ... and i figured that i needed it to be shorter. so i cut off about 3 inches of the strap when i reached home. PHEW! it fit. lol ...

dinner at ....

THE MANHATTAN FISH MARKET!

shiok. i love their main courses! and especially their FLAMED PRAWNS! :D~ and i had my favourite soup!

MAMAMIA~ just looking at it makes me hungry! but i've tasted better ones :x

p/s: Ben, stop staring ... yes, it's cream of mushroom. and i know its ur favourite too. but too bad you're in china, probably drinking some dog brain soup now ... and moreover i think the waitress should have cleared the bowl by now. so STOP CRAVING! HAHAHAHA.

for the main course, i shared a seafood platter for 2 with pb. ian had fish and chips. lol ... as much as pb (POLAR BEAR) lives up to his nickname, we couldnt really finish the platter. we left a few fries and calamaris behind. :x A FEW OK. ya, we gaf ourselves a little rest time here and there, but we still couldnt help it! so .. we started crapping, laughing and ... playing with food :x

thats PB. a bit blurry. he was trying to use FRENCH FRIES to FISH for CALAMARI RINGS from the plate. HAHAHAHA. and yes, it was a bit retarded. i tried it too. LOL. and after several attempts to finish up the last few pieces of fries and calamari, we .. FAILED. hahahah. oh well.

wasnt too bad! and im craving for the seafood platter again. LOL :D~

oh man, sian. going back to camp tmr. last 4 WORKING days! 9 more ABSOLUTE days! WOoo!

reminiscing the good ol' days ? HAHA

2008-04-01T23:09:00.001+08:00

it's been a long time since i last logged into crunchyroll. as bored as i was earlier on, i tried my luck on naruto shippuuden and bleach animes again. yup, and expectedly ... i was unable to watch them. SO SAD! WHY BAN 'EM?! its essential for kids nowadays! right-brain development! CRE-A-TI-VI-TY ! ok. whatever. im bored. lol ...

so anyway, i watched digimon frontier instead! NOT BAD! it felt like i just went back to my pri sch / sec sch days! HAHAH ... it reminded me of how crazy i was over digimon tv serials back then. it was a MUST MUST MUST! to catch each and every episode on tv every saturday morning!

and even further back then, in primary school days .......! when the first few versions of the digimon's emerged from the supermarkets. its like every kid would have at least 1 digivice in his/her hand. some hardcore fighters would have a handful of them though ... as much as they could go "LEH LONG! DIGIMON FOR SALE! 1 for $50! COME AH! 99 YRS OLD TEDDYMON!"
and sadly, the school DM didnt allow the kids to bring their digivices to school ... but as u know, kids are kids. they're always rebellous. WE INVENTED A WAY TO HIDE OUR DIGIVICES! not in our bags, not in our underwear ! we all had a RICOLA candy box! and all we did was to finish eating the sweets, and slot our precious little digivices in the box ! when the recess bell went off, the FIERCE BATTLES started! it was like gang fights, really. we would gather in the toilet. wait for the coast to be clear (not adults), THEN BANG! "eh, u got digimon ah? fight leh ... fight la!" regardless whether you know the other kid or not, we attached our digivices and proceeded with the battle. and the funny thing is ... after the fiery battle, we just walked off like we didnt know each other. HAHAHAH .. kids. oooh well, thats for primary school days! ... the ~~cute~~ good ol' days, yet again! lol .... :)

hmm its almost midnight, and im sitting in front of the com ... i don't feel like sleeping. not yet ... sitting in the room with all the lights off, door shut and music stopped, its like i just shut myself off all disturbances. im not being emo, but once in a while, its good to think through, relax and reflect ..

YES, 3 more weeks to my ord! 5 more working days! i know i should be jumping for joy now. but as it approaches, the joy starts to feel more subtle. for now, i almost cannot feel much ... maybe it became kinda numb. of course i would be happy to leave! and like what i always thought, leaving for a new environment was my priority. but as i back-tracked ... i realised it wasnt all about leaving. its about the true friends that were made - friends who'd back each other up, friends who'd share their best things in life, friends who'd help you get over sorrows ... i believe this will make my NS memory a more heart-warming one. people like the blacksheeps that i mentioned previous can jolly well be erased from my memory! :) well, i guess i should start drafting my ORD speech already.

looking forward to whats gonna happen after i ORD. good things, that is. finally, after 2 years ... a different phase in life, a different and, hopefully, better environment ... im indeed very eager to find out. 2 - 3 mths of break before uni starts which, again, means a different phase and environment. i even thought about life after uni! oh since when did i become so forward-looking ? i don't know, really. :p it feels like i've kinda gotten over a lot of those downs in my life.

yet, thoughts are just thoughts. they'll never come true unless something is executed. and yea, i said i've been clearing off and leave ya ? so, i've been desperately looking for jobs! u know what, ITS REALLY A CHORE! lol ... being the fussy kid that i always am, i just cant seem to pick A job! in fact, getting ready for that NEW PHASE in life is really quite a task.

job hunting is quite a chore
keeping fit is quite a chore
getting more tanned is quite a chore
thinking of what hair color to dye is quite a chore
thinking of what hairstyle to cut is quite a chore
reading up for econs is quite a chore
getting ready for uni is quite a chore
(and yada yada yada ...)

hehehe, but i guess the fact wouldnt change if i were to continue ranting, cos that's the price to pay for being so-quite-far-sighted. hahaha ... and again, i'm looking forward to the results! :p

and for a flashback, being the old emo, stubborn, smart alec kid that i was about a year or 2 ago, i used to anchor myself in deep emo-ness whenever i was down, whenever things went wrong and stuff. that, i see in many people nowadays, be it kids or young adults.

looking back, i mock at myself. sinking myself deep wouldn't solve anything. from the many events that i've been through, not only have i learnt to forgive and forget, i also learnt something very important - mistakes. yes! learn from your mistakes .. for its only through these little stepping stones that make you realise what you really want in life ... and also, be optimistic. it'd be a bonus. :)

clear off loh!

2008-03-27T11:25:00.000+08:00

YES! i can smell it coming! 5 more working days and it'll be through! O-R-O-R-ORD! OH YEAH! *zi high* and as the title suggests, im currently clearing all my leaves and off days! so its like 1 working day every week. AWESOME! :D nothing can be as good as staying at home on a weekday when everyone is either IN CAMP, WORKING, or IN SCHOOL! wuahaha! *zi high again* yup, so what did i do when i wasnt in camp ? :O

GOOD FRIDAY! -

quite slack throughout the day, and ever since 6pm, we walked non-stop till near midnight! i met kenneth in town in the evening, after he knocked off .. it was sorta impromptu. so we didnt really know of what to do. the task that was due was to buy bendy's birthday present ... yup, so the hunting went on! well, i'd say that it was rather difficult to think of what to buy for a guy. and for someone of our age, i'd relate to what i bought for my dad on fathers' day. HAHAHAHA, cos we cant possibly buy him something kiddish anymore! its his 21st man! :D yup, i thought we should get him a FATHERLY gift. LOL. so we bought something somewhere (sekrut). but of cos, there'll always be a sneak preview. hahaha.

you wouldnt know what's inside even if you had x-ray eyes. cos you'll see what's inside your monitor, and not what's inside the wrapper. LOL :x and i know the design of the wrapper kinda sucks, but it was the saleslady who wrapped it -_-".

yup, and so after buying the gift, we're off for more shopping actually. i wanted to buy long sleeve shirts and long pants for work (although i havent really found a job yet, LOL), and ya, leather shoes too. really looking forward to working life! but job hunting can be such a chore. most of the temp jobs are kinda poorly paid ... :( so i saw quite a lot of leather shoes in town, but they're all out of my budget. dang!! and then i came across a shop in PS that was having sales, and yay! i managed to get a pair that i like! :D not bad la .. $60 after 70% discount. LOL.

it was almost 11pm and we didnt feel like going home. so, ben met us after he knocked off. lol. by that time, all we could see was waves and waves of people heading home. but we're still hanging around PS. hahaha. night life? not really .... :\ 3 losers walking round and round, and we finally settled down in starbucks! till 1am. and again, we didnt know where to go! HECK! off to clarke quay to join the crowd!

and there we were! feeling not-so-out-of-place ... there were lotsa people! walked past MOS and other clubs/pubs .. introduced the different 'places of interest' to ken (considering our dress codes, we didnt wanna go in), cos its his first time there at such hour. people screaming, people getting high everywhere. FUN! and of cos, we went to watch screaming people at the g-max inverted bungee arena. AND ITS FREAKING FUNNY TO WATCH FRIGHTENED CHINESE PEOPLE TAKING THE RIDE! HAHA. oops, not singapore chinese .. china chinese! yea, so it kinda got boring .. and we kinda went to liang court mac to slack more. had supper there ... till 4am+ ? yeah, and we couldnt take it anymore. ~HOME! lol.

SUNDAY!

as usual, TENNIS with ken, ben, polarbear and jiehua. :D kinda played like shit. and i know its time to restring my racket (AFTER 8 MTHS!) cos lotsa shots went OUT!

to M.sq after tennis for dinner, jh drove! that place was freaking cold. had swensens. and GUESS WHAT! like i promised myself to succumb to SOMEONE's temptation, i did so! HAHA.

STICKY CHEWY CHOCOLATE ! i didnt eat the whole cup though. ken shared with me. and on top of that, i had my main course and chocolate milkshake. wah GG. i think all of us were as full as .. dunno what? lol. ok la .. thats like what i always do after tennis training. WELL-DESERVED MEAL! :D

since there were no nice movies at GV m.sq, we all decided to go off .. ben and i went to ken's place to stay over. watched soccer match, man U vs liverpool .. and surprisingly i didnt fall asleep! hahahah.

MONDAY!

first thing, TENNIS AGAIN! lol! yea, still at ken's place ... i was kinda tired .. cos we only slept for like 4 hrs ? lol. oh well, just for fun la. and yes! another well-deserved meal after tennis! KOVAN MARKET'S NASI LEMAK! omg, after 2 years since graduation, we finally step into kovan once again! hahahah. nostalgic memories! it was like:

me: hmm this place brings back nostalgic memories!

ben: ya la, dun use such chim angmoh leh.

LOL ben's angmoh is chimmer than mine all the time lor. and anyway, i gorged myself with yummy food once again. wuahaha ..

movie at lido shaw after makan ... be kind rewind.

as expected from jack black's shows, it was very LAME! didnt really like it .. cos i had quite a hard time making out those fake laughters once in a while. HAHAHA .. its the kind of show that makes people go " ... " lol. oh well, luckily ken had 2 free movie passes. LOL so it wasnt as bad. :x

after 20+ hrs of stay out, we all went separate ways HOME! :D

TENNIS ?

2008-03-22T23:46:00.001+08:00

ladies and gentlemen .. take a look at the website below:

http://www.sport.uwa.edu.au/our_facilities_and_services/uwa_tennis_centre

this is absolutely something that a singapore tennis player can get jealous over! WTH, 14 CLAY COURTS and 6 GRASS COURTS!!! jealous jealous jealous !!!

lynnette has been tempting me with ice-cream and stuff ... and finally, she tempts me with TENNIS COURTS. LOL. yes, thats UWA .. and i think their facilities are damn COOL. a super big campus with super lotsa facilities (click on the sidebar on the left to navigate) ... holy crap, i'd wanna go there for student exchange! *stares* :D

wait .. y am i publicising UWA here ... ? lol ... k moving on ...

so we're like talking bout tennis and stuff ... esp about the different grips i.e. western, eastern etc. yup ... the most common forehand grip is apparently the semi-western grip .. so, hardworking lynn went online to research about the semi-western grip ... which looks like ...

this!

HAHAHAH, and she made this very amusing remark ...

-signing off from a simple and random post :x-

i thought i had nothing to blog about camp life ...

2008-03-12T22:21:00.000+08:00

indeed, there's always been nothing much to talk about when it comes to camp life ... its always been monotonous and boring. until RECENTLY, i discovered that we've got some retardedly-ultimately-bitchy camp mates despite most of us being NORMAL. i'm not gonna mention name though .. if you wanna guess, carry on.

all along, it seems like we're a united buncha lame (pikachu aka pai ka pai chiu) soldiers .. yes that was a few 'generations' ago. i still remember the days when the older peeps were still around .. we're really bonded together .. didnt have to worry about any knives in our backs or being the target of cannons (tua pau) etc. it really felt great. but too bad, that aint the case now .. because of a few blacksheeps here and there. i thought it'd be kinda interesting to blog about them ...

BASICALLY, i call them the BLACKSHEEPS (NOT BLACK KNIGHTS!)
------------------
- Profile(s): Blacksheeps

- Characteristics: irritating, backstabber, boastful, tries to be popular, talks big (TUA PAU!), feels that he's right all the time, play rank (by seniority), timid (HUMJI!)

- Descriptions: fires a few daggers onto your back from afar, and goes around firing cannons (TUA PAU!) into the air. commands the mass and tries to influence as much as possible. sneaks away quietly upon sensing its predator.
------------------
generally, this group of minorities is prone to irritating the hell outta people .. and it really makes the rest of us wonder if it is their brains or butts that they use to think. and moronically, the things they boast and talk-big about give themselves away so obviously. its like everybody knows that they're talking big and none of it is true. SO, in order to counter this and make them think that we really believe them while we're just patronising, i've come up with a standard-format answer. below's examples will clarify:

e.g. 1
ME: so, what's ur L1R5 ?
Blacksheep: SIX
ME: WOW, u'r smart man!
Blacksheep: nah, that's very common in my sch
ME: WOW, u'r really smart!

now, on the surface, don't you think i totally believe what he just said ? hahahaha. lets take a look backstage ...

*churns CV (Cirriculum Vitae)*
"english - B3
humanities - B3
chinese - B4
emath - B4
amath - C6
combined sci - B4
bio - C5"
*counts* 3+3+4+4+4+5 = 23

HA! so .. ignorance is bliss ? being ignorant about what a CV system can do .... omg. BOMB HAS BEEN DIFFUSED. COUNTER-TERRORISTS WIN. TUA PAU SIAN LOSE! LOL.

e.g. 2
Blacksheep: you know, i think of all you here, my life is the toughest here!
ME: HAAAR! ISSIT !!!
Blacksheep: YA! not like the rest, so slack!
Blacksheep: it's always passed midnight when i book out!
ME: OH REALLY ?
Blacksheep: YA! u f*ckers always leave on time!
ME: orh.
Blacksheep: YA! now u all know! who's worth most respect here! dun mess with me ah!
ME: orh ..
Blacksheep: (and he goes on and on .... )

maybe he just doesnt realise the way we've been merely entertaining him ... ironically, in camp, we compare and get jealous over who's more slack ... NOT HARDSHIP. who wants to get jealous over hardship, baka! HA!

well, when it comes to blacksheeps, a table of 6 - 8 can spend jolly an hour or 2 talking and laughing about em. STUPIDITY TICKLES THE MASS ! yeah! we can write a "MOST RIDICULOUS JOKES OF THE YEAR" book!
this post doesnt serve to be a gossip. it serves to illustrate the escapade to the bitchiest retards of the SAF. figures that were shown have strictly been refurnished. LOL.

today is a family day

2008-03-09T00:20:00.003+08:00

AH! due to some reasons, i wasnt confined at home today! wheeee, instead, it became a family day for me! so glad, since i hadnt got any plans before hand.

first stop ... SGH.
visited great grandma in SGH. she's having a serious pneumonia and she's 90+ yrs old. a good thing shes conscious and looks rather good .. she's always been strong. :) however, the funny thing is, she was warded because of walking difficulties, and not pneumonia. so, that kinda struck me questioning ... "how come she ended up having pneumonia ?" and the answer - the surroundings. since ppl with low immunity are prone towards viruses like pneumonia, she was infected by the airbourne virus in the ward. so i thought, this kinda suck! patients are admitted to receive treatment in hope for recovery.. but instead, they get infected with more problems in the wards. and one after another .. are they gonna stay there forever? how pathetic can the hospitals get ?... oh well, but i don't expect much from class C wards. it looked like slums rather than wards. limited space, poor ventilation ... oh man. hung around there for like 3 hrs .. together with some relatives - aunties, uncles and cousins .. and i didnt feel like talking at all .. thus, i kinda ignored everyone. lol :x

second stop ... LEVIS WAREHOUSE
it sucked. a reasonably big warehouse, with a few brands on sale ... and mostly OLD STOCKS. it had a stupid signboard near the entrance that went "please deposit your bags/belongings at the counter before proceeding" or something like that. i thought it looked suspicious. and i looked around ... most customers had their bags with them. so i told my parents not to bother about it. i was lucky to have been able to grab a decent looking pair of jeans for. still alright la ... but yea, just one item outta the countless junks. and just as i was searching for stuff, one security guy came to us and said "pls deposit your bags at the counter, thanks." ... i couldnt be bothered .. so i replied him "oh really?" then the 3 of us disappeared into the crowd! AWAY FROM HIS SHORTY EYESIGHT! HAHAHAHHA. ok, but overall, there's nothing much that's attractive other than the levis jeans ... but the discount is not that much either ... warehouse sales ends 6pm tomorrow.
venue: jay gee melwani house, 10 genting lane (althou its called genting lane, its in singapore ... near macpherson. LOL.)

third and last stop ... IT SHOW!
i told myself "HOLY CRAP, we're really heading there" yea, but only dad and i. mom's not feeling well, whats more shes not IT savvy, so she excused herself. lol ... there was a looooooong jam along raffles boulevard .. and the crowd could be seen from afar. SCARY! could see people jay walking across the roads, people on the overhead bridges ... they all had a common destination - SUNTEC CITY. @_@ HOLY CRAP! its like many battalions of ants. unlike the previous IT shows, the whole fair is spread across 4 different floors. but still, the crowd was unbelievable. the prices of the gadgets are low as crazy too! my dad bought a LCD TV, a thumbdrive for himself, and another 1 for me ... and some rechargable batteries ...

the sweet lil thumbdrive

ITS BLUE !! ITS BLUE !!!!

and YES, after walking through every floor of the exhibition, IT'S TIME TO GO! look at the crowd! .. gosh, its 7pm already ...

... and we can still see people shopping with enthusiasm. lol ... im glad we left ... FOR DINNER!

what a tiring day. PHEW! home sweet home !!! :D

LYNN LOOKED LIKE IDIOT!

Singapore Airshow!

2008-02-27T23:00:00.000+08:00

WARNING: The below blog post is highly-densed with photos. Please wait a few moments while they get loaded ...

and here you have, me - tengyong, reporting about our half-a-day escapade to the Singapore Airshow at Changi Exhibition Centre!

the journey started off at Meritus Mandarin Hotel at 1000hrs. there was a shuttle bus service to and from the exhibition site, which a charge of S$5 per trip. (YES, rip off!!) accompanied by 2 others - aaron and laypeng, we happily set off for our escapade on that lok kok bumpy coach bus.

well well, it took us some 40 mins to reach Changi Exhibition Centre! honestly speaking, it was my first time there .. as you can see, the first thing we came across after getting off the coach bus was this magnificant view of 18 soaring flags. true enough, it did seem cooler than singapore expo. we had to go through a tight-security gantry before entering the main exhibition site... not surprisingly, there were quite a lot of people there already.

The Apache

the first thing we came to after entering the main exhibition site was a display of our military technologies. e.g. one of our newest fighter helis - the apache as shown above. :D there were tanks, armoured vehicles and a navy patrol vessel on display too.

moving on, moving on! into the planes-only sector. we're able to see some of the very cool/rare planes from RSAF as well as USAF. its simply planes galore! lol ... the size of the outdoor exhibition site was around the size our very own national stadium, showcasing up to approximately 25 kinds of different planes, mostly military planes. well, but i only took pictures of those which i was interested in. :p

the unmanned vessel from USAF

This kind of unmanned vessel is capable of flying without a pilot. it takes command from a command post instead, something like a remote controlled plane. but i wonder what's with that weird shape .. hmm maybe its capable of distorting enemy radar waves too ?

F-16 from RSAF

famous for its flight agility and fire power, its one of the best fighter jets in the world .. or rather, its singapore's best fighter jet. a scary war tool.

USAF's C130 transport plane

GUESS WHAT ?!

TRY AGAIN !

look at its BACKSIDE!

YES! its the AIRBUS A380! the biggest commercial plane in the world! its just simply MAGNIFICANT! just look at it, such close distance ... where else can one get such opportunity?! i believe the A380 is one of the reasons why people want to visit the airshow. look! the guests could even go onboard the airbus! but we're quite disappointment and angry when we came to know that the registration for the a380 visit had closed ... :( oh well, too bad ... missed that chance.

due to the blazing sun, we're provide with ...
.. dunno what you'd call those. lol ... say ... a fan to protect your eyes ? :\ yea, that thing is for us to prevent our eyes from hurting when we stare right into the sky during the demo-flight exhibition ... and we used it to take lame pictures just BEFORE the demo-flight. lol ... think we're trying to look like darth vader ... "WA SI LIM LAU PEH!" "BO KO LENG! BO KO LENG!"

AND FINALLY ...

performance by THE BLACK KNIGHTS! the F16 fighter jet crew from RSAF. as you can see, lotsa different stunts performed by the amazing crew of 6. i could only remember of the stunt's names .. e.g. chevron formation, slow pass and the salute. :x the last round of fly past wasnt taken as we all observed 1 minute of silence in memory of a senior F16 pilot who passed away 2 days ago...

and of course, our great proud a380 had its own demo-flight too ... compared to the fighter jets, it looked reaaaally slow. lol ... oh man, but it'd be nice if i could go onboard!! *saves up (darn, i've got so many things to save up for :\)*

yeah, but well, it was a good-enough experience for me .. luckily we went on the guest days instead of the public days ... the public days were PACKED with people mountain people sea! lol. omg just read the papers, the crowd's scary! shuttlebus waiting time approx 1hr+, same goes for cabs ... hoho, i pity the people who're trapped inside ... :p

anyway, after a long walk at the exhibition, we finally sat down for our well-deserved lunch at ichiban boshi at wisma. PHEW! our meals added up to $64, and we're all terribly bloated after the luxurious jap cuisine. LOL.

some beefy dish which i couldnt eat

clamp miso soup!

time to head home after a short walk in town. EXHAUSTED!

and throughout the trip, i believe i gotta give credits to my poor camera. i didnt realise that the battery was quite flat before that, thus i continued shooting despite of the weak battery power. there were a few occasions when i couldnt take any photos because of the low battery power, but i somewhat forced it to SHOOT MORE! hahaha ...

yup. ok and there you go, i think its my *ahem* LONGEST POST EVER! signing off, tengyong, RSN, singapore.

AH~ its yet another sunny day... :)

chinese new year celebration!

2008-02-17T13:03:00.000+08:00

guess what? HAPPY BELATED CHINESE NEW YEAR! GONG HEI FATT CHOI! lol ... :\

yea, this place again ... a brief sea view from the officers' mess in changi naval base (where we had our unit's chinese new year celebration). what you're looking at ... is the frigate warf, although u cant really see the ships. :x

i was required to reach there at 830am to help set up the function. JS drove ... we reached there around 845am .. heavy traffic during the peak hours! we helped abit ... and slacked quite a lot .. LOL .. after that, disappeared to play table soccer. before the majority reached, i've CHOPPED a table specially for our usual clique. BUT .. some high ranking officers KOPE-ed our CHOPPED table! in the end, our usual clique had to scatter ourselves all over the place. so sian! :\ but still okay ... at least i didnt end up sitting with ppl i dunno.

we had lou hei first. HAHAH i didnt care bout what others yelled ... i just went "ORD LOH!" for like 10 times. cos i'm gonna be the first to ORD, together with ivan, in that table. wuahahhaa i feel so ... ORDish!! but that kinda demoralised everyone else who ORD later than us .. but again, i don't care! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! *evil laughter* :D

next up, steamboat ! 2 portions. 1 side was tom yam, the other side was chicken soup. among the table of 11, we really had a few good cooks .. esp 1WO sim. everyone was enthusiatically throwing stuff into the steamboat ... till the point where the different soup bases got flooded into each other. omg ... tasted a bit .. weird ? but nice! BAH WOO GAO GAO. hahaha. come to think of it ... i didn't really eat much ... i saw the pool and billard tables .. and my oh my! my hands began to itch! hmm .. the celebration ended after the lucky draw. out of 140 people in the whole unit, 50 people were quite lucky. lol ... AND I WASNT ONE OF THEM ! :\

off to dental appointment while the usual clique waited for me in town .. darn! now i have to tie my own rubber bands on my braces before i go to slp! and if i were to open my mouth, i'd look like a vampire. what a hassle! oooh well. lol ... met JJ huang, lance and aron straight after. booked tickets for jumper. 7pm ... we were 3 hrs away. what else other than SLACK, WALK, EAT could be done in town ? went to this e2max thingy in cineleisure .. apparently, its some high-class lanshop/arcade place ... hardcore gamers will like that place ... but i feel its a lil no-life over there ... :\ since aron left early, the remaining 3 of us decided to play dota there ... and sad thing, their dota couldnt work. so much for a high-class lanshop .. lol .. ended up WASTING our money on lame online cs condition zero. JJ yan arrived on time ... and we're off for our movie.

the movie was nice. but to me .. it's a lil too short? overall, it wasnt a disaapointment though. and the JUMP ability is so cool! imagine travelling across boarders without passport ... better than SHUNPO! LOL (too much of bleach there).

had late dinner at subway. the 4 of us kept talking bout the show. THE JUMP ABILITY! "take a deep breathe ... " *POOF*

met my tennis team mates who're just upstairs after dinner. jh, ian, shann and ben. for the few of us .. we've kinda got hooked on to late night outings. lol .. we've been having supper together recently, and friday wasnt an exception. haha ... ian drove ... so we headed to parkway parade to play pool first ... since we all just had dinner .. JH PAWNS. he beat the rest of us .. as usual. lol ... we're off for SUPPER after about 8 rounds. jh left early though. went to bedok 85 for the famous BAK CHOR MEE and CARROT CAKE ! and then, to sempang bedok for the delicious MUSHROOM SOUP and CHEESE PRATA. wuahaha, we eat like pigs but we're not fat! :D amk area doesnt have much nice food ... not fair :\ ian sent us home 1 by 1 as usual .. reached home around 3am. ^^

anyway, i was thinking of changing my blog's background to ...

its a negative of my current background .. looks like mangekyo sharingan. :x OPINIONS ? :)

ECP! after so long ....

2008-02-06T22:09:00.000+08:00

wooooo. yea, its chinese new year eve! and i didn't have to book in! despite the fact that i was on duty. my duty was TAIJI-ed to someone else. LOL. we all had this sports cum slacking event at east coast park this morning (9am), yeah! so, just nice ... since i already didnt feel like going back to camp today ...

met JS, JJ and HK at yck mrt at 8am. HK drove .... the trip there sucked. reason being, we had to pass through a total of 4 ERP gantries before reaching our destination. and those 4 gantries sucked a total of $7 from HK's cashcard. yeaah ... that's singapore's roads work. -_- prices for public transport hike, increase in the number of operational ERP gantries. no benefits for us! :/ SINGAPOREANS SHALL STAY AT HOME AND WIPE THEIR ASSES FOR A LIVING FROM NOW ONWARDS!

so yea, reached there early ... in fact, a few officers were there already. got ready and all. after CPT edmund gave the briefing, we're ready to roll out ! i hit the blading kiosk ... shit man, i totally embarrassed myself in front of the not-bad-looking kiosk tender. :( thats for not blading for 5 - 6 years (stopped blading ever since my feet grew out of my old skate's size). TOTALLY LOST TOUCH. when i put on my blades, i kept falling ... at least 5 times. she had to SUPPORT me. omg damn PAISEH, and shes younger than me and she went "see! im so nice!" ... i was like "ya la very nice .. thanks thanks!" *OH DAMN IT, what luck!*but luckily, after some warming up at the skating park .. i kinda got a bit of the feel back. so i started to skate normally and happily. ^^ and ya ... im so gonna buy a new pair of skates!! *SAVES UP*

hmm skated for around 45 mins only .. had to gather and GET LOST from there! free gangway at about 11am. grabbed our stuffs and off we went!

sidetrack:
some amusingly amazing clips from lynn ... enjoy. lol ...

LI KIO SIMI MIA ?

2008-02-02T00:23:00.000+08:00

hmmm ... its been quite a hectic week .. and its been quite some time since i last booked out late. of course, the idea of booking out late turns me off -_-. yeh yeh, peak period currently ... but most of the time, there seems nothing so peaky about the peak period .. :\ its pretty boring, actually ... but just that for this year, theres someone to go thru the boring peak period with me. HAHAHA ... so, it makes the boring days seem more fun sometimes.

yes, boredom has its limits ... like what i've said, surfing internet, trying to watch anime, going around disturbing people, stealing snacks ... and some other lame stuff ...
and i think we've broken the records of the funniest name i've ever heard - MONICA CHNG (touch your ass) ! or maybe HO CHIA LONG (ran down by car) too! LOL ... that's what it pays to be bored in camp ... found a few funny names through the global email directory.

CLEMENT TEE
LAU SAI MENG
CHUA KIM SAI
CHAN KUM LAN
LIM AH LUM
LEE BAH YEE
CHUA BONG SAI (from lynn)

HAHAHAHHAHAHA .. damn freakin funny! JS and i really had a hard time laughing our asses off man. i laughed till i teared. LOL. really pity them ... :x imagine ... if you were to give them a phonecall, how would you address them ?

"hello, may i speak to clementi, pls ?" *controls laughter*
"hello, may i speak to mr lau ... lau sai HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA meng, pls ? HAHAHAHHA! "

hai! hai! its not the era of the monica chng, nelson tan, and ho chia long anymore! there're names that're nastier than those! LOL.

yea, things we do in camp .. indeed ... lol!

yeah, and as you can see in one of the tags, "CHIU TENG JIAO KIA KIO!" sounds funny, but theres more to it :X i forgot how it all started ... but i know it had something to do with different dialects .. LYNN'S got a phrase : teochew nang, ka chng ang ang! hokkien nang, ka chng si tang! LOL. after that came CHIU TENG JIAO KIA KIO! lmaolmaolmaoooo, again, i laughed till i teared ... yes, at first it was "tree top small bird chirp!" i was making fun of fei yu qing's songs all along ... i.e. shu shang xiao niao ti ~ *CROW! CROW! CROW!* LOL. i got no idea why, but i just like to make fun of his songs .. all thanks to our dialect 'lesson' :x

anyway, i've been watching naruto online lately. so if i happen to not reply to you on msn, pls forgive me :p hahaha, i was addicted to the anime ever since some INFLUENTIAL FIGURE tempted me to watch it. HAHAHHA ... it sorta created an omnipresent layer of super glue between the chair and my butt ... LOL. hmm as much as it seem like an ordinary anime, i think it preaches a lot about life. especially about friendship. quite a lot of touching parts too ... :) thats how i kinda got addicted to it ... well, u ought to watch it if you havent! ;)

memento

2008-01-21T21:17:00.000+08:00

THE NAVY BOOK!

with Chief of Navy's autograph! :D

wooooot! nice memento! :D

CITY!

2008-01-20T22:48:00.000+08:00

skyscrapers!

doors are closing, "toot toot toot toot toot". next station, raffles place interchange. WOOO, its been so long since i last went to the CBD! i know there are lotsa nice high-rise buildings there, so i was starting to get excited. lol. once i got outta the mrt station, i took out my phone! hyak hyak hyak hyak! snap snap!

went to city with dad yesterday for some banking thingy ... woke up quite early in the morning -_- like ... 830am. damn, couldnt wake up later on a saturday morning! :( but i thought since i haven been there for quite some time already, why not go and see whats fresh there. :O yup.

before he did his banking stuff, we went to UOB plaza to exchange for new notes ... and just as i thought, the place didnt change much ...

and yes, that is our stylish high court from afar. looks like a UFO indeed. i've been up there once, and it was one of a life time experience man. if you were to look down from there, it'll look both scary and thrilling. well, you got to try it to believe it. and yeah, the other photos are just some of the nicer pictures i took. i was sitting at the edge of the bay when i took this:

and the disappointing thing now is that the viewing gallery in UOB plaza is closed :\ if im not wrong, the viewing gallery used to be on the 60th storey of UOB plaza ...very nice view from there. cos one'd be able to see the whole of CBD ... or even further. oh well, too bad ... and going there reminds me of a very famous and delicious fried fish soup at china square! but we werent craving for it ... so we gave it a miss .. :\

and yea, we're hanging around that area for awhile ...and we walked from UOB plaza all the way to marina square, then millenia walk, then suntec!

the durian structure - esplanade

our singapore icon - the merlion

my dad jus loves walking ... too much. lol. ate some bak kut teh at suntec which made me feel constipated from the mouth ... i thought i was indigestion. =_-Zz chua sai feeling, from the mouth. so, after that i left my dad on his own .. to do his cny shopping. lol ... i excused myself ... (cos i already did mine. LOL)

yea, and back to amk hub at 230pm ... went to my usual salon. IT WAS FULLHOUSE! omg .... sian, my hairdresser told me i had to wait. so i waited .... walked around ... until 430pm. 2 hrs of waiting. not bad ... the business WAS very good! oh well, thats the price to pay for a good haircut. i walked the whole amk hub TWICE. lol! and yay, i finally got my haircut ! if not, i think i'd be booked by the guards tmr ... =.-"

hmmm. yet another week. 12 more weeks to ORD! :)
sigh! shoulder injured, elbow injured. ZZZzzz ... im SO TIRED! (lol...)

BORED!

2008-01-18T15:29:00.000+08:00

hahaha, guess what? im blogging IN CAMP! all the officers went for retreat today, meaning, BO ZENG HU (no govt)! and again, i stumbled onto something cool!

&amp;amp;lt;a href="http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown.html?year=2008&amp;amp;amp;amp;month=4&amp;amp;amp;amp;date=18&amp;amp;amp;amp;hrs=0&amp;amp;amp;amp;ts=24&amp;amp;amp;amp;min=0&amp;amp;amp;amp;sec=0&amp;amp;amp;amp;tz=480&amp;amp;amp;amp;title=ORD%20loh%21&amp;amp;amp;amp;lang=en&amp;amp;amp;amp;show=dhms&amp;amp;amp;amp;mode=r&amp;amp;amp;amp;cdir=down&amp;amp;amp;amp;bgcolor=%23000000&amp;amp;amp;amp;fgcolor=%23FFFFFF"&amp;amp;gt;ORD loh!&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;

you are my sunshine, i am your cow dung

2008-01-17T22:36:00.000+08:00

i stumbled upon some forum thingy which i forgot to bookmark the website ... it contained some corny-mushy catch phrases ... that were anticlimax.. im sure some of you may have heard things like "i've seen the sunshine, i've seen the sunset. i've seen a blue moon, i've seen shooting stars .. but nothing is as beautiful when i comes to you" oh well, since you're here, im gonna make such stuff anticlimax ... for the name of fun. :X

1. i didn't sleep well last night ... cos u've been running through my mind. my damn dog ran after u throughout the night!

2. i've seen the sunshine, i've seen the sunset. i've seen a blue moon, i've seen shooting stars ... but nothing can be compared to you, cos i got bored of looking at you!

3. do you have a plaster ? cos you made me fall. i've never ever stepped on such a huge banana skin in my life!

4. could you spare me 10 cents ? i needa call my mom to tell her that i lost my way in your heart and i wanna freakin' get outta here!

5. pls call the ambulance for me. my heart skipped a few beats at the sight of you; and you never fail to make me fuming mad whenever i see u!

okay. i could only remember the 5 here. if u were to say these to someone, u deserve to be slapped. LOL.

new year shopping!

2008-01-14T22:46:00.000+08:00

A LONG DAY OUT IN TOWN! with lance ... yea! one of my bestest camp mates ... with him around ... i was prepared to shop till i drop! .. all for the sake of chinese new year! i met him around 3.30pm, and only reached home at 11pm. yeah ... super tiring .. but good grabs i got ! :D

started off at isetan, shaw ... and yea, people who dunno me well ought to know this fact - im very fussy when it comes to clothes .. its very difficult for me to find something that i really like, and thus, i'll take a very long time to shop. lol ... resham said my future gf would be a lucky lady since i can afford to spend so much time on shopping. >.>

nothing in agnes b, ck and topman attracted me ... oh well. not bad, i saw 1 long-sleeve shirt at levis, but they're left with that only display set. so i decided to give it a miss ... i won't spend $90 on a display set .. -_-

and now! let me introduce .. SUPER SPICY SHI LIN CHICKEN !!! - FROM FAR EAST

as tempting as it seems to be, i doubt the majority out there would wanna try it. its shi lin chicken, plus extra extra chilli powder! HOHOHOOOO! lance tried the first piece. he teared within 15 secs. HAHAHAHA. mad fella added so much chilli powder, it was almost inedible.

ME: "extra chilli pls, thanks."

HIM: "ZHUN BO?"

ME: "zhun!"

HIM: "WAH u offended the wrong guy man!" (jokingly)

*adds chilli powder fantically*

the moment i saw that, my mind went "OH MY GOD, SHIT!" lol, really crazy fella ... but luckily i am used to eating spicy stuff .. for the next half an hour or so, lance remained rather quiet. LOL.

next stop, pacific plaza. lance was hooked on by a DKNY watch .. bought it at $355. omg. not bad a watch la .. square-faced. leather strap .. with chrono function. by then, we're already quite tired and bored ... cos we've walked the whole of shaw and far east .. and he only got a WATCH. well, at least there's something ... and he emphasised that i was my turn to buy stuff ! lol ... stressful leh!

but apparently, it happened to be a lucky day for me ... i bought everything from ngee ann city's levis. i saw the same shirt that i saw at shaw's levis ... 1 whole stack. GRAB! not bad, suits me ... and since im there, i might as well get a pair of jeans .. 516 straight cut. GRAB! 2 items, plus 3 pairs of ankle socks ... woohoo, i was happy that i finally bought something and not having to strain my brain again ... everything added up to $200+. a free levis organiser came with it ..

hmm, i guess its quite nice! not really an organiser, more of a notebook though ... yea, and its not for sale! ;P not bad indeed. i was a happy man by then. LOL, just that i wasted effectively 4 hours. :x i only managed to grab my stuff at around 7+pm.

and so we went to guess and zara after i bought my stuff to see see, and after that, paragon, then heeren. lance wanted to get a levis belt ... but couldnt find it anywhere .... awww so sad! LOL. and yea ... we're all tired out by that time. 9pm and without dinner. :\ had some not-filling dinner at kobayashi. by the time we left, it was 10pm. OMG -_-, haven shopped for SO LONG before. 10pm - 3pm = 7 hrs. X_X. but nevertheless, im a happy man! I GOT MY NEW YEAR CLOTHES ! :D

****

anyway, camp has been rather boring recently. outta desperate measures, i have been surfing the net, watching animes (YEAH! "JEFF-KUN, do u wanna go on a date when we return to the village?" LOL) reading newspapers, reading magazines over and over again, stepping into people's cubicle to disturb ... and lastly .....

TADAH !!!!

wrapping a turban for sir yusof ishak :X i went around showing people ... even the canteen aunties. LOL. but come to think of it, whats the big deal ... lol.

some of you might have seen the following from email chains ... yeah, i thot it's pretty creative. so i decided to test my creativity. NOT BAD LA. hahahaha.

of cos this wasnt folded by me. :p

and pls see also:

sulking and smiling sir yusof ! LOL, ok i know it's an old joke, but still, its simply amusing! ok, i was really bored. :

have been walking around camp lately .. mingering with our usual clique. 3 more months to the end. i guess i'll miss the good simple days. days where it was just us and our usual crap .. the senior corporals ... we all agreed we'll miss the fun, but it would be hard to meet up so often ... unlike in camp. there's been quite alota conflicts between certain groups of people lately, mostly between the new guys and the senior guys, sad to say. oh well ... pros and cons for leaving that place, i guess. at least the good ol' mates still stick together. ;)

it took me 2 days to post this .. and now i cant concentrate, cos im having fun disturbing ppl online. :P

first day after long vacation

2008-01-02T22:36:00.000+08:00

BAH, im so bored.

BAH, just back from camp.

BAH, i've gotta re-adjust my sleeping habits.

YAYYYY, 4 more months!

okok. i was EXPOSED on trying to make my previous blog post look long (wah lau liddat oso kena exposed! :\) .. so, here goes ... things that were supposed to be blogged yesterday, since i've somewhat settled down by now. but don't think its gonna be long either. lol.

well, had a pretty boring new year's eve. last minute plans .. -_- went to marina/suntec with ben. on the thought that there was gonna be lotsa sales going on, it was high time i grabbed my new year clothes! i have alota things in mind ... long sleeve shirts .. new jeans .. new shoes .. new wallet ... BLABLABLA. yup, headed to river island ... apparently, sales items were SELECTED. and sales items were UGLY. non-sales items were not my type too ... was a little disappointed that river island stuff looked pretty much like those from topman. :\

walked along the stretch of citylink .. randomly went into some shops. adidas, nah. G2000, nah ... what else? puma, nah. esprit, nah .. im surprised i got attracted to NUM shirts this time round. but i cant wear those for chinese new year though. :S so, ya ... i went empty handed, and left empty handed.

everywhere was kinda packed. restaurants, cafes, shops, streets, escalators, stairs, toilets, trains, buses ... HEHE but i see most cabs vacant. :X ok but thats irrelevant. dined at the food court in MS. cos it wasnt as packed as the restaurants/fast food ...

oh yea! and i saw santa!

there, santa ... from a different part of the world. u can jolly well threaten him to give you all his presents just simply by using a lighter. ok, jus crapping. he's made of CHOCOLATE. :D~ drooling yet? yea we all feel like swallowing this sinful santa. i saw this saint-in-disguise in MS too. dunno if its for sale though ... its at a chocolate cafe called CHOCZ. check it out while its still there! ;) *CHOMP*

didnt catch the fireworks. but caught some light-ray dispersion on the bus. lol. this was the fountain of wealth, beautifully decorated, on new years eve. (the bus was jerky :\) and i guess the blinding light-ray dispersion was coincidental. :x

was about 11pm when we left. waves and waves of human influx at that time and venue ... people were all rushing to esplanade for the fireworks. and we're leaving! and the bus inspector had to announce that the bus wouldn't stop at 'durian' (esplanade). we're one stop away form the esplanade and she went like "the bus nv stop at durian! if u going durian, alight now!" HAHAHAHAHAHA! i noticed the look on some foreigners' faces. they had that "WTF is DURIAN" look before they alighted doubtfully.

saw a road accident on my way back. suayness. some motorist was knocked down by a car, was struggling to stand up ... and posessing the usual BOCHUP singaporean behaviour, passers by just stood there and watch the poor guy struggle. yea they sorta froze there, became mannequins. dumbasses. get lost if you cant render any help. if i was struggling, i wouldn't want anyone to watch me ... either u help or get lost. i believe that applies to most of us too .. :)

new year resolutions? if you ask me, im gonna say its the same as those that i wished for during xmas. well, maybe something more ... hmmm .. ^_^

anyway, i stumbled upon this cute song that i got addicted to for awhile ...

p/s: pls sing along with the correct lyrics.. and the correct voice. ;)

christmas celebriato

2007-12-29T12:48:00.000+08:00

not really aye celebration ... guess its just yet another casual gathering on christmas eve. me, ian, shann, ben and this time round, + kenneth. a waste jh, branda and xuefang were overseas, and ashwin HAD SOMETHING ON (hyak hyak hyak). yup, so 5 of us!

while ian was parking his car ... something caught my attention.

i didn't know subaru's logo changed .. LOL. no la .. it just so happened that the lizard was resting right in the middle .. it probably loves to ride on a WRX. lol ...

yup, we went to watch national treasure - book of secrets. caught a late night movie at cine .. like 2345hrs. HOHO. yea, i like late night movies .. the feeling of not being suppressed by curfews of booking in the next day, the feeling of not going home early, the feeling of not sleeping early, the feeling of FREEDOM !!! (WAH i wanna ORD quick !!!) oh well, staying out once in a while feels good.

and confusingly, my appetite was rather haywired that day. after dinner at 6+pm, i could still fill myself with a plate of spicy chicken spaghetti from pastamania at 10+pm while me, ian and shann were waiting for the rest. shann bought some chicken tenders from BK ... and we had food during the movie too .. lol.

movie was good. more interesting than the first one ... i was more enthralled this time round. the conspiracy theories, together with those real life monuments, really make people wonder if their stories are true ... a trigger to our hunger for answers. and of cos, more action this time .. the usual cat and mouse game between 2 groups of people in search for the same treasures. :)

i guess there are more apparently-nice movies coming up ...

YEAH! movies, movies and more movies. 'JUMPER' looks pretty cool too. but seems like the webby's not got its poster up yet :\ yea anyway, its about some guy who can travel at supersonic speed. he gets into some kinda trouble and bla bla bla .. lol.

and ya ... movie ended at around 0230hrs. we're all not giving up yet! off for supper at bedok 85 bak chor mee ! yes! food again ...! and i still could gobble that bowl of bak chor mee soup down! amazing ! hahaha. (yum, i get hungry now when i think of food ... :) it was around 0330hrs when we finished our supper .. ian sent everyone home ... thanks ian, for the trouble ... :) lights out at 0415hrs.

hmm, whats with the crowd ??

oh! what a scene. a topless silver surfer with hair ? haha lame. well, if you've passed by AMK hub recently, you probably have seen him before. he comes to work anytime, and he works just outside AMK mac. so ... what does he do ? i have no eye deer ! he simply plays some melody from his god-knows-if-its-a-hi-fi-or-what thingy ... and starts jerking/springing (NOT dancing) around/up/down/(off?) with the music ? sometimes it can be quite exaggerating .. like u know .. possessed ? LOL. yeah, its s-p-a-s-t-i-c. well personally, i dun find it entertaining at all. in fact, disturbing. he's got no nice figure, and he bares his top. he's got no professionalism ... cos God knows what the heck he is doing ... and cos well, it's not even cosplay! so ya ... i really wonder if the crowd is there to give him support ? or just to laugh. you may have seen 2 similar people along orchard rd. yes, they paint themselves gold or silver. but! they dun do spastic things like that ... they just keep still .. like mannequins ... once in a while, they'll make some light movements .. graceful ones. ok, 2 different worlds. :)

SIGH! lol ...

the season to be jolly

2007-12-24T23:30:00.000+08:00

yea! this is the season to be jolly, lalalalala .... ! it's christmas again! and im at home on christmas eve again! (well at least not the whole day this year .. lol) well, surprisingly, the weather these few days have been quite co-operative ... good time for all to hunt for last minute christmas gifts ... or maybe gatherings and whatsoever ...
i still remember where i was on christmas eve last year ... CATHAY! if im not wrong, it was when cathay just started its business. whadda beautiful christmas tree ... (:

christmas tree @ Cathay - 2006

hmm, and i was at cathay a few days ago ... and for a second time, i saw ...

christmas tree @ Cathay - 2007

hmmm, looks pretty much like the same tree eh? hehe. think about it .. 1 year really flies! glad that 1 year of life in ns flew past just like that! AND .... FOUR more mths and i'll be thru!

i've been wondering ... as much as christmas seem to be a joyous occasion, some of us don't really celebrate for the origins of it ... we're just happy! happy that its yet another public holiday! happy that there are sales like EVERYWHERE in town! happy to spend! happy to buy! happy to receive presents! yup, we'll see happy people in town. happy happy happy! HOHOHO ... and that makes the whole atmosphere joyous! haha. YET, pls, spare a thought for those less fortunate people. their lives aren't as wonderful as most of us ... PLS DONATE FOR FLAG-SELLERS! remember, christmas is a season of GIVING. (like, *ahem* father tengy, hahaha) lol.

anyway, me, ben and ian were shopping in town the other day. stumbled upon this gorgeous watch in Agnes B .. and i went *bling bling* SO NICE.

yea i believe its chain is made of titanium. metallic black in colour. pretty awesome eh? so, as i said ... christmas is a season of ....? GIVING! hahahah, i definitely welcome christmas gifts ... ESPECIALLY the watch that you're looking at above! c'mon, its not very expensive. :P LOL.

alrighty, what happened on christmas eve, 2007?

unit christmas celebration at SAFRA Yishun - very cosy place! i'd rate the event 5/10. guess it wasnt very interesting to most of us ... had to resort to games like musical chairs, zong ji mi ma and trivia. SIGH, all because of the lack of budget! x( oh yea, and i was the host for zong ji mi ma. well, felt a lil awkward standing right in front, hosting the game ... : like ... "alright guys, game commences! ZERO to HUNDRED." *voice act cool abit* LOL. oh well, but i loved the idea that most of us were there for the so-called GATHERING. yea! the joyous atmosphere again! :D gift exchange ... lunch provided, games ... fun ... scandals (OOPS). happy happy happy! merry merry merry! lol!

SAFRA Yishun main entrance

swimming pool! resort-like! :D

rock wall that creeps all the way up to the sky! woolalal~ :D

my first time there. and i think i fell in love with it. it's just the place i'd like to be in EVERYDAY! hohoho. so sad, its quite far away from my place.

PRESENTSSSss!

i got a disney mug and a reebok coin pouch from the gift exchange. Oreo was from .. umm. i forgot. LOL.

birthday card!

and i got my belated birthday gifts too! a card, signed by lotsa of frens in camp, and a polo tee from both my bosses. :D

town was pretty crowded even in the early afternoon. me, lance, cp, jj, hai keong and aaron were there. YEA! xmas shopping! shopping malls, streets, buses, trains. they were all packed with PEOPLE! and SALES SALES SALES, everywhere! i didnt buy anything thou. lol. cos i was l-a-z-y and my bag was full of stuff. HEH. most importantly, fred perry boutique spotted !!! finally! its in cineleisure! :D

yup, thats about it for the day. and if you ask me about my christmas resolutions ... hmm it'd take me awhile to list down ALL. but, basically, i'd love to have ... WORLD PEACE (standard), GOD BLESS MY LOVED ONES (standard) and to GAIN WEIGHT! :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL! :D

p/s: long enough ? hahaha :p

ready for christmas ?

2007-12-22T04:56:00.000+08:00

something different ... ;)

toooo theee aaairport! shoosh shoosh

2007-12-21T15:30:00.000+08:00

yea, its not the lame-funny pepsi advertisement, but i really went to the airport.

18 dec 07, tuesday, 2145hrs, singapore.

ian arranged for a supper session, together with me, branda and shannon. initially planned to eat at bedok bak chor mee, but there was a change of plan apparently.
ian was nice to pick all of us up one by one .. headed to ECP mac. ate a little ... then, toooo theee aaairport! *shoosh shoosh* lol ...
headed to the so-called hong kong cafe (but the name was ISC) to eat more! i was attracted by the durian AROMA that was detected around the vicinity. hahahaha. so went up to look at the menu. indeed, they sell duriany stuffs. yup, so .. branda and i order some d24 durian puree .. a lil disappointing .. maybe the durian was too concentrated ? or maybe its the bun ... dunno. ian's mango ice mountain was nice! we're all scooping from his bowl. hahahah!
oh, and also ... something amusing we saw on the menu:

CHICK KUT TEH!

sounds so funny! LOL. sounds like some ... hokkien slang or something to me ... but actually, it's bak kut teh, but instead of using pork, they use chicken. so the usual ian and i were thinking of funny substitutes ... like .. FISH KUT TEH? COW KUT TEH? DUCK KUT TEH? HAHAHAH ... ya la .. finding self-entertainment .. lol.
yea ... so all ended well ... and ian dropped each of us at our doorsteps home ... toooo theee dreamland! *shoosh shoosh* at 215pm. :)

overnight

2007-12-17T10:57:00.000+08:00

i've came to realise and believe in one thing in life - its difficult to please everyone, no matter if it's at work, leisure, friends etc. just life in general.
the chalet was organised specially for the tennis team .. out of the 15 who were invited, only 7 turned up ... so i still consider that a little successful. but still, pathetic. in the small 3-room apartment were me, ian, xuefang, subra, branda, jiehua, benjamin and shannon. well, its kinda expected that it'd be quite boring for there were only 8 of us, but i'm thankful ... at least there were 8 of us. and most of them had something on before or after, and they still made an effort to go. especially benjamin and shannon. one's sick, the other just got off the plane. :)
as a host, i know i wasnt wonderful at all. but my interest was clearly for the team. or rather, the group. i've always loved the team (group) spirit of our team. especially our usual clique ... what's more, nowadays, we rarely get to meet one another. its either in camp, studying, overseas or other committments. so, yea ... i know my efforts didn't go to absolute waste.
3 cheers for the 7 of you! thanks, you people rock. :)

reminisce the good ol' days ? HAHA

2007-12-12T08:48:00.000+08:00

sunday was supposed to be a tennis day. unfortunately, IT RAINED ! and stopped, and rained, and stopped, and rained again ... -____-" oh well, rainy season ...
so ... bored at home. luckily there was LYNN! LOL. we were able to keep ourselves well-entertained online for hours! hahha. with what ? with OLD SCHOOL MEMORIES. funny ones. of all things, we had to talk about techno songs. mm chi mm chi mm chi! NYAHAHA.
songs. lotsa techno songs. late 90s' techno. songs like BUTTERFLY - "aiyaiiyaii, im your little butterfry ", BOOM BOOM BOOM - " boom boom boom boom! i want you in my room, lets spend the night together, together in my room!" lol, just by typing out the lyrics, we're already laughing out ... lynn went to search for the songs in imeem. THAT MADE MY LAUGHTER EVEN MORE UNCONTROLLABLE. LOL. primary school memories came flooding back. those days where little girls tried to act lian, and little boys tried to act beng. lynn is pro, she remembers lotsa song lyrics. (that proves that she once tried to act lian :P)LOL. my most memorable song - CALCUTTA by dr bombay! "CALLA CALLA CUTTA CUTTA CUTTA AYO AYO~! " HAHHAHAHAAAAaaaaa.

had lotsa fun thou i only stayed over for 1 night. i was there on saturday. a lil strange at first, but everyone started to warm up after a few games of dota and interaction. hahaa .. played games like heart attack etc.

late afternoon: sitex @ expo with ben. nothing much to see, maybe i was too irritated by the stupid crowd. saw lynette there .. selling packard bell stuff. hahaha! poooor thinnggggg. went for dinner at toa payoh after that. went home to get clothes, and back to the chalet!

the night was quite happening. played a lot, esp card games. and ALCOHOL. not much thou. hah. didn get to slp la .. tried to go to slp at 5am, but the bed was PACKED! so i tahan-ed! till 8+am, i needed slp! so i squeeeeeeeeezed in with them. lol.

LONG LIVE LONG LEAVE !!!

2007-11-29T12:25:00.000+08:00

woot! day 1/14. FIRST DAY of my looooong leave! was looking at the sky, it told me it wasn't gonna be a good day for tanning. so, me, together with 2 other ord-ed kids - ben and ken, decided to have yet another tennis session at ken's place.

so yup, 2pm at ken's place. ben was as late as a home-coming cow. all went well. except for the fact that my racquet's 'injury' was somehow worsened due to wear and tear :( darn that baptism ! LOL, sigh, i suppose i'll buy a similar racquet soon. it's gonna cost my another bomb, and yet another hole in my pocket.

bandaged

the fracture ... more prominent than an ass crack

WELL WELL, for the time being, i think i'll not hang this racquet yet. hahaha. cos i'm already getting used to it; so i'll jus re-tape the whole darn crack. hope it'll last till i ORD!

4 hrs of tennis. ended before 6pm. 3 of us were exhausted. yearning for a swim, but swimming pool was closed for some renovation thingy. so, too bad. went up to ken's place to slack before we went for dinner.

dinner's venue was a tough choice. took us some 1 hr to decide? hahahah yes we're indecisive soldiers who're serving THE DECISIVE FORCE. hahaha. so ben suggested a brilliant idea. he said, "aiya, just take the next bus that comes." HAHA, and guess what, the bus that heads to my place came. i was LOL-ing ... cos it was so convenient for me. dinner was set at amk hub. our fates were SEALED. lol.

bla bla, left for home at around 2130hrs. re-bandaged my weapon ... at the same time, got helplessly frustrated about the cause of it. -_-" oh well ....

GET WELL SOON ...

headed for a movie next. BEOWULF. it .... was bad. lol. its kinda animated. not real. the storyline was draggy. alota scenes were unnecessary. oh well. haha ... we didnt really like it, cos we're expecting something similar to 300 ? yea.

2007-11-04T11:40:00.000+08:00

yea, its a kiddy show. don't talk bout it man. haha.
was out with ken and ash at ps ... watched the seeker. damn .. it looked kinda lotr style .. but the plot of the show was rather kiddish leh. wad "im the 7th son of a 7th son!", "i've got powers!", "i am the seeker!" YEAYEAYEA. wadeverrrr ... shuddap and punch yer face. lol.
saw mr teng .. our college PTI. still the same .. and we coincidentally recognised his gf! hoho. oh ya, saw jade seah too ... but darn it, i didnt get a chance for a glance at her face. oh well, too bad ...
dinner at mac. and pool session after that. was queueing up for a pool table, so meanwhile, arcade! so i was playing initial D ... and there were these 2 girls waving to me from outside the arcade. and weird thing is, i dunno them at all ? and they waved like they know me for 10 yrs ? LOL. or maybe i jus couldnt recognise them ... (ya, i'm not good at recognising ppl. lol) or maybe its just that they were trying to distract me from my game. tsk.
played 4 games of pool with ash. both of us couldnt believe that we tied. LOL. its like, he's off form yesterday. and ken didnt play at all. he hates arcade and pool .. hahahah. well bro, that's what it takes to hang out with us. lol.
and so it struck 11pm. home. i hate to go home late at night ... might as well stay out ...

i did have something to tell you ...

2007-11-01T22:26:00.001+08:00

" do you have something to tell me ? ";
" nope. "

3 years ago, i made this vow to myself ...
i vowed to myself that she's the one im after ...

2 years ago on that fateful day, i made this mistake ...
a mistake that seemed minor ...

now, its all too late ...

tell me i'm stupid, tell me im dumb ...
and once in a while, i get reminded of this ...
it's something i don't wanna forget; at least not the memorable times ...
after 3 years, its damn regret ...

new friends ...

2007-11-01T22:11:00.000+08:00

attended a meeting at marina square yesterday ... we're discussing about the next formation welfare event that will probably be held there next february. at the same time, we also checked out what the management of the cinema, bowling centre, arcade and k-box will offer us if we go there as a formation, which is like 600 odd people. i guess they should give us a good deal yea!
well, the meeting was fun. made some new friends. got to know 1 SSG Ong whos gonna ORD in a week's time. he's a happy dude who believes in winning a PSP from a $1 game machine. hahahaha. i think he spent around $5 on it .. he made an effort to send me home in his latio sports after the meeting ... hoho! also got to know rachel teo ... a young and petite chief clerk. hahaha her voice is super cute. guess both of us are of same frequency. we attended the meeting in order to get outta work! lol.

Singtel iOne plus @ $25 odd / mth ? and this phone costs $188 only w/o trade-in! grab it quick! promotion ends ... erm ... 26 Oct. that is tmr. :\

21 Oct 07

played tennis, as usual. but today was special .. only me and pb turned up. ash and ian couldnt make it last minute. like i said before, i prefer to play singles ... so i felt more comfortable alone in my court. initially, i didn't play that well. warmed up after awhile ... and surprisingly, with that cracked racket, i survived!

yes, if i hadn't mentioned before, my racket CRACKED ... due to ashwin's 'baptism' !!! luckily army taught me the usefulness of BLACK TAPE. i applied a layer of epoxy .. then black taped over the crack. and it feels just like new, and it looks quite cute with a black 'plaster'. hahaha.

we're about to leave at 4pm. some uncle offered the 2 of us to play with them ... and so, we did. we played 2 matches with them. first to 3. lost both. :( i felt awkward playing with strangers. or rather WE felt awkward. hahaha. sheesh, whatever. wait you see, uncle. HOHO.

17 Oct 07

and so it is ... burnt down. the market just across the street ... 27 years of existance ended up in ashes within 45 minutes on 16 Oct 07. i could see the flames very clearly from my place. there were several explosions too, supposedly from the gas cylinders ...

the inferno was rather scary .. about 4 storeys high, and it burnt down the whole market. there were quite alota fire engines .. and they took 45 minutes to put the fire out ... holy shit. imagine being inside the blaze. i'd be dead within 60 secs. lol. oh well ! shall wait to the new market to be built !

just 4 of us

2007-10-11T13:36:00.000+08:00

BOOK OUT. dinner with jiehua, ian and shann. i guess shann's the VIP last night. well, shes leaving for aust on friday ... studies.
was supposed to meet at orchard mrt at 1930. i reached super early, like 1845. well, the journey from camp to town takes merely 45 mins ? around there la. so i was quite lost, not knowing what to do alone. loitered around the station. and i discovered a new hide out whenever im waiting for people in town! there is another bookstore just beside popular bookstore. its called HARRIS bookstore. the embience of the bookstore is not bad, just right for reading books. a waste it doesnt have seats and a little cafe in it. haha.
yea .. so, 4 of us went to vil'age for dinner. shiokness. first thot - my favourite CREAM OF MUSHROOM. the thot of it simply makes me ... salivate! hahaha .. ate 1 serving of chicken breast + mashed potato + the soup. it cost me less than $10. lol~ value for money! jh brought his cam, but didnt take any decent pics. -_-" lol.
shopping and loitering after dinner. heeren. we're looking for everybody's bday present. but apparently, noone wants their presents to be bought. hahaa, so we ended up leaving heeren empty handed, except for shann's plush toy that the 3 of us bought for her.
so, yup, left town at around 2130. reached home at around 2300. :)

BOR -sunday- ING

2007-10-01T01:27:00.000+08:00

its the same ol' sunday routine today ... just that i couldnt stand the sunday morning today ... i got no idea why the hell was i so frustrated about. argh! maybe its the heat recently ... super hot weather. maybe i'll talk bout it later. lol.
so yea ... tennis. it was me, ash, ben, pb and jh today. i was very glad that i didnt play as badly as how i did last week. HOHO! but still lost a match la ... one funny thing, i cant hit like how i usually do in a match. *personal note: sort it out* well ... simply love the sun today ... thanks for all the tan! lol ... i know i just scolded the sun for making the weather so hot recently. hmm so had my favourite bak chor mee by the roadside after tennis, and had to rush back for my parents marriage anniversary dinner. sorry guys! for not able to go for dinner tonight! lol ... i know, its boring without me around. LOL. :x
had dinner with parents at the soup restaurant in amk hub. yes, i ate twice within 3 hrs. but, i dun remember eating anything nice in the restaurant ... the ambience was not bad, the crowd too. amk was packed with people man! well, at least theres a celebration once a yr. :)

i was talking about being frustrated just now. yea, thoughts. i have been waging wars with myself recently (no, i havent turned psychopathic) but the fact is that i really hate myself in certain ways. bad decisions, bad habits ... and whatever. dun really wanna share the stupid stuff .. just maybe make the point clear to myself that, yes, in life, everyone aims for perfectionism. perfection, compared to failure, looks like the lesser of two evils. but i think thats the main cause to our disappointments in life. theres a famous saying, thou from unknown origins, saying that almost nothing is perfect, or nobody is perfect. perfection is a tough task. on the other hand, thou failure can have some impact on us, it can serve as lessons learnt in life, and it is through all these mistakes and experiences that we know what we really want, that we know how to really make it right. so ya .. whats the point of saying all these? i have a hidden agenda, and i shall keep it to myself. lol :)

i will miss the sea

2007-09-30T03:30:00.000+08:00

yesterday was a wonderful day away from office! well, not really away from office la ... should be just away from gbk. a few of the gbk nsfs were in changi yesterday to help out in some sai gang .. cnv's dialogue. the thing only commenced at around 1430 .. but we're there since 0830. so ... SLACK!! wuahahah! ok but i did some work there k. yea ... so everyone was in pers hub. so it looked kinda crowded .. and we're disturbing their peace. hahahahha! i think they couldnt do their work in peace.
ya ... and so, we're each assigned with our tasks at 1400. easy task, but boring .. ok, but i guess .. once in a lifetime being a sea soldier for 2 hrs. LOL. we're back at our devil's den at 1600. mdm ivy bought us pizza and some jin zhen tou curry bread. nice! well, shes super nice ... esp to nsfs. shes leaving the service soon, and yet treating us so many times. we really feel bad sometimes. we're supposed to pack and clear everything from the dialogue session at 1700, but it kinda got dragged till 1800 ... so we had to slack there even longer! wheeeee. its like a HUGE gossip session back in changi yesterday. npd tales ... really.
finally 1800 came. PACK UP! sai gang! saw the chief. he seems more responsive to others greeting him ever since he became chief. hahaa .. SAW MY UNCLE. he's one of the officers in the crowd. wth! dunno if he could recognise me or not. he kept looking at me ... from far that is ... and i was trying to show some gesture .. u know, tsk ... like .. eh u asshole, y u nv acknowledge me. lol, anyway, whatever la .. hahaha ..
dinner time! we went to TM for dinner. me, jeth, tian, david, sufen and wanxia. alexis chose to stay in the office ALONE, too bad! it was dinner cum gossip session ... like what my usual makan kakis do too ... it was nice .. first time eating with those changi people. and when we're supposed to settle the bill, things kinda got COMPLICATED. hahaha. me and jeth wanted to treat sufen. then sufen wanted to treat us too. but wanxia decided to treat all of us. so it was more complicated than a love triangle. "permutations and combinations concluded that" .. i dont wanna conclude anything. so in the end, i dunno how (or didnt bother to know how) we settled the bill, cos i dislike accounts. lol.
home after dinner .. loooooong train ride. reached home around 11pm.

changi has always been quite an attraction to me .. with all the big ships anchored there, the nice sea view, especially in the evening, and nice people working there. i'm sure the atmosphere is completely different as compared to gbk. gbk is like the cbd. people can be seen rushing around like mad dogs .. the atmosphere is definitely tense. but well, im contented that i have my chances to go to changi once in a while ...
and to those who leaving soon, thanks for everything ... i'll miss u people! and till the next time i see it, i'll miss the sea. :)

O O, double O

2007-09-23T07:38:00.000+08:00

me, jeth, lance, chienpeng, dudley, kelwin, josh & gf, kyle, siew, zhi huang, aaron, alan, vishnu, resham, xiangying and esther made the NPD crowd in dbl O last night! lol .. resham had been trying to organise a clubbing outing ever since last year. finally, it came true last night. some were stunned, and others couldn't believe it, but JETH WAS THERE !!!!! hahahahaha.

we're supposed to go to buterfactory, but apparently, the min age limit was STRICTLY 23 last night .. so, no choice! not a frequent clubber, but yesterday was my 2nd time at dbl O. we're there quite early ... around 10pm. those who brought their SAFRA cards had free entry! wuahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! luckily i brought mine!! well, the place was almost empty when we reached, so we could literally choose our cosy corner.

started off with 2 jugs of lychee martinis .. played five-ten with a few guys .. then MA'AM (hahaha!!!) Li (xiangying) complained why arent we guys talking to the 3 ladies. " 'cos we're small boys mah! generation gap. " :X she loves to call us BOYS thou she's only 23. lol. ok, so well, we 'combined forces' and played five-ten together. 10 - 11 of us ... hahahaa I THINK LANCE DRANK THE MOST. and we're all trying to make jeth drink more (according to primary objective: make our virgin clubber, jeth, drunk) ! but damn! he didnt get that much of forfeits! hahaa .. so we're happily playing, till alan came up with a big forfeit - the next person who loses goes up to the dance floor to dance for 5 secs! at that point of time, there was noone on the dance floor. so we ALL backed out. LOL. sheesh, garang alan! post out liao still wanna sabo us! hahaha ..

a few of us went down to O'bar for like 15 mins ... test the atmosphere i suppose ... haha but i think it wasnt very crowded either. i guess it just wasnt time yet. when we went back up, it was about 12+ i think .. it started to become crowded .. and the atmosphere began to heighten. more drinks ... and we began dragging one another to the dance floor. argh, but felt awkward dancing la ... 'cos the liquor didn't make us high enough ...

xiangying left early ... around 130am, i think. nono, im SURE. 'cos i was 99% sober all night -_-. then dudley left too. he lost his wallet man, damn! we're all trying to look for it, but couldnt find. he went to make a police report ...

well, back to more slacking, drinking and dancing. i was quite sleepy at some points of time. i was awake ever since 6am man! its like more of us were sitting there rather than dancing when it got later. lol ... NOT HIGH, NOT HIGH !! argh! hahaha ... kelwin was right ... it feels weird to hit the dance floor when u'r sober. lol.

ok, all the lights were lit at 3am .. and it's time to go! feeling lethargic to walk, we dragged our feets to liang court mac. lol .... supper! and from there, HOME HOME HOME !!!!!!!! i reached my bed at around 430am. slept till 2pm today! holy shit :D it was fun hanging out with them for the first time ... thou we all know we did silly things in one way or another ... we shall all keep those to ourselves! hoho! should organise another outing soon! till then, rock on ..... !

2007-09-17T13:20:00.000+08:00

woke up this morning to my wet blanket of the day - RAIN. (sheesh, i miss rayne) lol. anw, rain ... YES, RAIN. my first respond was like ... Godamnit. RAIN on a sunday morning again. HATE IT when it frigging rains on weekends !!!!!!!!!! ok. but fortunately, it kinda stopped at around noon time. ya ... so there i was .. ready to play tennis!
happy me turned grumpy when i waited for the bledy bus. freaking waited for 30 mins. huh ... what did the news say ? what did they just install ? what again ? the news said, buses arrive at an interval of approx 15 mins during off-peak hrs. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 30 mins and 15 mins ? NO DIFFERENTIATION, NO INTEGRATION, NO ALGEBRAIC RULES, just simply, 30 - 15 = 15. ITS THE INTERVALS OF 2 BUSES! wow ? and they just installed a freaking time tracking system isn't it ? so WHATS the POINT when that isnt even accurate ? SO WHAT if we know the time that the nx bus will arrive ???? we still gotta sit there waiting RIGHT ?????!!! and so much for HIKING bus fares! THEY CANT EVEN SHOW US THAT THEY CAN SERVE US BETTER ! whrs the customer service man ??? c'mon, the bus services sucks, admit it. whatever, loser company.
so ya .. i guess it was a bad day for me. didnt play well in the courts too ... my shots were haywired ... and i was getting more and more fed-up with myself ..i felt really lazy ... seeing the grey sky ... machiam wanna rain dun wanna rain. narhia de. its like a standard u set for yourself, and seeing yourself not able to meet that standard. feels PISSY and CONSTIPATED.
went for dinner ... at some indian-muslim stall ... its been quite a while since we last had dinner after tennis ... but it was jus me, ash and pb today ... talked alota bout our college lives ... recollections, memories ... 3 guys, in the midst of the showering RAIN. hur, so romantic yeah ?
lol, yea ... im quite lazy to continue luh. -_-

yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery

2007-09-16T14:14:00.000+08:00

elder cousin allan was here earlier in the afternoon. he had bought a box of mooncakes for my family. very thoughtful of him ... this cousin of mine is 5 yrs older than me ... kinda grew up together when he was in primary school. i can still remember .. he was very playful and rebellous when he was young. today, i see, standing tall, a capable young adult who has a bright future ahead. he graduated from uni recently, and is now an engineer. he's character has changed tremendously .. for the better thou. he's got a good degree, a stable job now .. and all these really makes me wonder bout my future ...
honestly, im not really satisfied bout going to FASS .. cos i kept appealing for biz, and apparently, failed. the reason being .. the arts degree is very common and it doesnt get u as far as whr the biz degree does ... sigh.

i was packing my documents into another folder after he left .. browsing through all the old documents i.e. my O/A lvl certs, testimonials and some others ... and unknowingly, i sat on my bed reminiscing the past ... all the way from secondary school life ... till now.
saw my O lvls results slip, i recalled that i was so elated to see my results, thinking that it was so wonderful ... but the joy kinda wore off after some time, realising that there are so many people who did better than me ... thou i am any perfectionist, i like competition. i like to win. well, but there was nothing i could do, so i well did let satisfaction set in. be glad ...
saw my JAE form .. i was supposed to study in CJC instead of SR.. but i insisted that i wanted SR than CJ .. so i appealed back (i was in SR for 1st 3 mths). i dunno. i think i was outta my mind back then ... either that or some devil manipulated me. but when i stepped into CJC for a day, i kinda hesitated ... i quite liked the environment in CJ ... well, but in the end, i still went ahead with it. Godamnit. lol ... at that moment, i was standing on the knife edge of the biggest regret of my life. after a few days, i felt like a total fool. i had no freaking idea why i went ahead so easily, so inhesitantly. and for the nx 2 yrs, i felt like a retard. i would be bragging and mourning for my dumbness. lol ... it was until the day i got my A lvls results when the feeling faded off. i kinda got over it and told myself "well, it wasnt too bad after all! phew!"
nx, my JC testimonial ... i was considered quite lucky to NOT have went into any kinda conflicts with my J2 civics tutor ... it felt kinda scary to be in her class, but looking back, it seems quite exciting. hahaha .. still remember she'd tear up those essays that appeared untidy, were submitted late; or maybe shes unhappy with it. shes a good and bad tutor ... in terms of GP, shes one of the best tutors in SR ... in terms of .. erm ... mood ? i dunno man .. its like more than half of the college knows bout it. lol. well, so .. i have a nicely commented testimonial. glad and relieved. hahaa ... i also remember my J1 civis tutor, K-Ong. she's one sweet and patient young lady .. a pity she didnt 'accompany' is to J2 ... i bet her impression of me must've been quite bad , cos i was merely foolin' around in J1! hahaha ...
my cca records cert. thou its just a piece of junk paper ... it brought me much memories too ... i thot of those crazy little things we did during tennis tranings ... tennis camp ... those horror movies were funny ! ... the fun we had ... each others company ... the childish little pranks and politics ... team spirit! the competitions we played, the schools we terrorised... and the schools that beat us ... MAD movement! chingay parade! motivators ... party! Y~M~C~A~! those 2 years of FUN! really FUN. i miss those fun ...

i guess memories like that will fade away one day ... so i better put little notes like this to make me remember those little things in life jus in case i forget them ... till now, it all seemed like illusions, a blink of an eye ...
dun think i've been doing productive stuff this 1+ yr .. during my NS life .. its been 1 yr and 5 mths ... 2 econs textbooks waiting to be conquered ... lol they've been lying on my desk ever since ... God knows when ... hahaa .. and i think i shd learn to appreciate the little things in life ... and also to make an effort on little things in life, so that others can appreciate them too.
lol ... stop dreaming, tengyong! WAKE UP~!!!

yesterday is history. tomorrow is mystery. today is a gift, that's why we call it present.

beach vball!

2007-09-12T10:33:00.000+08:00

SHAGGED is the word of the day. haha. yes! after 3 continuous days of running around, i'm very sure that im really exhausted. so, here i am, writing my blog AFTER MY 4 HRS NAP ! :D

played in the interdept beach volleyball competition today .. against depts like NOD, NID and NLD. i wouldnt say this is my first time playing beach vball ... but definitely my first time playing a beach vball match. just like tennis, the difference in mood between casual rallying and an actual match is really different. the atmosphere is really tensed. and to add on, peer pressure from the team mates can make the whole game seem pretty pressurising. for a newbie like me, i didnt play too well .. primarily cos of my skills, secondarily, cos of team pressure and environment. running and jumping on sand can be really taxing. shall not talk about diving in and save the balls.

our team was placed 3rd outta the 4 teams, ahead of NLD. nonetheless, i'm sure our team enjoyed the matches we played. althou some of them didn't get to play, i'm sure they enjoyed their 1 day away from office too! hahaha. oh ya, and the sun! the SUN OF A BEACH .. made me sunburnt again. hahaa ...

after hearing what MAJ Ng said for our training yesterday, i cant deny that i have to agree with him. in a game, we do not always aim for winning the entire game. what we aim for .. is winning 1 point at a time. we should also have confidence in ourselves. we don't play to lose. that would be a formula for failure. and in order to avoid being the formula for failure, we would need co-ordination and preparedness before the game. to add on to what he said, i feel that team spirit and mutual encouragement plays to major part too. it's been 2 yrs ever since i played a tennis match against other players. hope it'd still feel the same when i once again unleash myself in the courts (if i manage to get into uni team -_-)

happenings!

2007-09-08T13:20:00.000+08:00

this few days are rather sad ... not only for me, but perhaps a few others. the reason being, seeing a few of our close buddies ORD. sad thing is .. we'll miss the fun, the crap, the kinda rubbiush we always do. now they're gone .. it feels a lil weird in some way. nevertheless, we hope we'll remain buddies ...

updates for the mid-week:

wednesday

FAMILY DAY, the Chevrons. the welfare team, including me, spent quite a lot of effort on this event. time wasting, brain torturing, last minute plannings ... i thot it would turn out as a screw-up initially. it turned our rather well, i'd say ... good riddance! played bowling .. (i wasn't supposed to play, but there were too many absentees) quite a lot of pros there ... MAJ Paul .. he's a crouching tiger hidden dragon .. basket him. LOL. the reason i was quite motivated to play was because of his skills ... i would say i wasnt too far behind him .... hahaha ... sad to say, i sprained my thigh. :( but heck it .. just carry on ... lol.

big BOSS arrived late ... so we had to cater another game just for him. and 2nd round began! Br Hds vs NSFs vs DXOs. well, with MAJ Paul in the Br Hds' team, the victor team was quite apparant. hahaa ...

glad that everything went on smoothly ... ended at around 2pm. headed to town with jeth, lance and cp ...

the dudes

lance.cp.sufen.jeth.tengyong

me with evil pandafen

thursday

bosses not around, slack in office! :D

friday

bosses not around, slack in office again! hahaha ... but .. sad day, like i said earlier. am glad for the 4 ORD dudes - yong koon, windsor, timothy and nigel. i realised that time really flies ... i still remember them saying things like 1 more year to ORD ... 6 more mths ... then came 1 more mth. and today, they're gone! mixed feelings ... its like more than a year together in camp ... 1 by 1, we'll all leave one day ... leaving behind the newer batch of guys .. leaving behind memories .. the stupid things we'd do in camp (without getting caught ;)) .. our makan cum talk cock sessions, our babe-oogling encounters ... and more ... it all came gushing in my brain ... i believe thats y people start to realise and appreciate what we've done only after we're gone. memories. thats y, treasure your brothers in NS .. savour the time together with them ... for you'll never realise who are your real buddies without suffering together ... "we're all in this big puddle of shit, we shall all stir the shit together" - a wise quote indeed, by Sergeant Teo (my section cmd in BMT)

7 more months to ORD ...

Farewell to the Chief of Navy

RADM Ronnie Tay

though only had several encounters and not much dealings with him, thru the course of this 1+ year in MINDEF, i've came to know the our former Chief is a very sincere person. we've seen the solemn side, as well as his friendly side of him. He always wears a smile on his face. As the highest-ranked officer in the Republic of Singapore Navy, RADM Tay is reponsible of upholding our image and reputation in the international level; and he has done so without much struggle. As such, he is someone who is worth of all the respect from the Navy population.

Saturday

Kyle's birthday. met up with lance, jeth, kelwin and cp to get his gift. initially those guys had decided to get him a sex toy. but we thot the idea wasnt very good 'cos we would be giving the bday boy deep shit if his parents were to see it. so, we're contemplating whether to get him a lighter or cologne. so, we're walking around far east, spotted this uniquely designed zappo lighter in 77th street. its designed with the label of jim beam .. looks pretty cool. so we guys decided to get it for him.

slacked around in far east for the next hr or 2, and set on our foot ... for more slacking. lol. now, shopping for our own stuffs. walked into paragon, temptations everywhere. but ultimately, we didn buy anything. hahaa. headed to heeren next .. walked for awhile ... and to kyle's place!

reach his place at about 8pm. we're the last group to reach ... lance gave him his present ... IRONY! HE SAID HE WAS QUITTING SMOKING ON HIS BIRTHDAY ... wth! hahaha. so we're like .. DAMN! so yea, there were quite a few different groups of his friends ... didnt really mix around with them ... stayed together as one big navy group. there were windsor and gf, darryl, siew, robin, and our HUSTLER, dudley! lol! funny dude.

we didnt really BBQ much .. so we didn really EAT much. lol. just chilled around most of the time ... had alota crap to catch up. hahahaha esp from dudley. finally .. birthday song, cake cutting and photo taking .... lol .. wanted to give kyle a bday bash ... deciding what to give .. POLE ? STRIP ? hard decision .. didnt wanna injure him. lol. then somehow or another, it got dismissed. DAMN! LOL. well, too bad la ... hope we'll be able to give some bashes on DUDLEY's bday! wuahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so it struck 11pm. TIME TO RUSH FOR LAST BUS !!! hahaa .. so yea .. left obediently. rubbish ah ? bday boy will clear la. lmao. yup, 3 cheers for kyle's bday, 3 cheers for Navy, 3 cheers for pretty girls ! hahahaha.

no sun no tennis

2007-08-27T08:30:00.000+08:00

i was all packed up and good to go. but it suddenly drizzled for awhile. the slight drizzle kinda drenched my mood too. to add to that, i received pb and jh's smses that they will probably not be joining us for tennis. so, its left with ian and i for the afternoon. well, the others couldn't make it too, cos of AHM.
and yes, the drizzle stopped, and just nice it was about time to get out. i escaped! lol. as usual, i met ian at amk central bus stop. and we're decided if we should carry on playing, since its left with the both of us. and on the bus, some old joker stank the shit outta the passengers. yea, anyway that was a sidetrack. i just wanted to say that he stank. yes. so .. on the way to CSC, ian and i kinda spoilt each others' tennis mood deliberately. LOL. so, ended up, we didnt wanna play tennis anymore. hahhahaa.
made our way to novena square for lunch. KFC - the place that sells chick wings, not chicken wings. (HAHAHA) his favourite. :\ walked around for awhile. and finally, i ended up where i am now, home. and oh man~, i'm bored!

friday night rumble

2007-08-26T13:40:00.000+08:00

after a dry and boring week in office .. it was finally friday!

jh, ian, shann and i had decided to meet up earlier this week. yup, so we did. was supposed to meet in orchard at 730pm. ian drove his dad's camry .. and came to pick me up .. both of us were very late, leaving jh and shann stranded in the middle of orchard ... haha sry guys. they went to buy tickets for a late night movie ...
shann forgot to bring her keys ... so after picking them up in town, we headed for shann's place. took her keys, and went to parkway parade for dinner. dinner was sakae. i was FAMISHED. so i ate quite a lot. hahaha. well, its definitely very convenient to travel around when someone's driving.
after dinner, we headed back to cine for our movie - hairspray. the rest seemed to have enjoyed the movie, but for me, not much. hahaha ... the movie was kinda like a musical play thingy. vguess i don't really know how to appreciate such plays. but the storyline was alright. talks about racism in the states during the 60s. reminded me of 'to kill a mockingbird'. yes, literature text. overall, upon 5, i'll rate the movie 1. sry, not my type of movie. :) i made a very evil comment at the end of the movie. 'i thot i just watched the america's funniest home videos' LOL. i thot the main character looked funny.
so i was quite glad the movie was over. hoped into ian's car, and off to bedok. the time was around 2+am. had supper. was still quite full after the dinner. so i only ordered a bowl of mushroom soup. we didnt really eat much ...
time was around 315am. ian's really a gentleman to fetch everyone home. hmmm, i reached home around 4am. ian, thanks for the ride again!
apart from tennis camp, i think last night was the latest the 4 of us hanged out till. enjoyed!

and i didn really sleep after 4am. hahaha. i think i merely tossed around my bed until 12+pm today. good weather, was supposed to go out with char, dawn and mingkiat today. but dawn's sick. so yeaa, postponed it .. hopefully next wk ya!
boring day ... didnt do much things .. except that i just cut my hair! :D

sidetrack:
i've heard quite alota criticism about blogging. i've seen people say that bloggings only for gays, bloggings only for sissys. for bitches, for people who can't talk blady blady blaaa ..
well, i think thats a pretty shallow mentality. no offence, but c'mon, think about it. its irrational. why issit only for this group of mentioned people ? isn't it generalisation ? maybe not even generalisation. its just shallow mentality la, ok ?
look at a brand new blog. it contains nothing. just like a plain whiteboard. when we edit the skin, we're adding colours to this plain board. and for me, i don't copy skins. i create my own. it is something like a masterpiece. its not easy to do a template you know. and when this masterpiece has been done up, we add contents. contents, memories, our life ... its like a dedication for ourselves. we write things that BEAUTIFY this masterpiece. every person has different ways of beautifying that masterpiece of theirs.
yup, so its something like art. if you're up to this challenge, do it. design your own masterpiece. start off from HTML codes. do it well and don't make unproductive comments, 'cos it jus shows that you're shallow. :)

saturday

went to queensway to re-string my racket. ash, ben, justin and pb went too. strung my racket in another shop due to long queue at edwin's shop (edwin's the guy whom i always get to string my racket). so ... we didn't have to wait for too long before my racket was ready for action again! bought some tennis balls too ... went to check out my barricade IV again ... the price tag, as usual, says $179 .. but when i asked that indian dealer, he said he would sell it for $135! :D good deal man! ... thats the good thing about queensway. BARGAIN! not the russell peters kinda bargain .. but good bargain .. hehe.

headed to town after that ... pb finally agreed to go to ps with us (he usually hates going to town). checked out some movie timings ... wanted to watch THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM. but the good timings were all left with first rows ... rush hour next, same. headed to cathay. there was a slight argument over what movie to watch ... ended up, we didn't watch any movies. -_-" whatever. ash left. so .. the rest of us settle for dinner at cineleisure pastamania. went to cuppage to play CS after that ... woo. it's years ever since i last played that game. trying to sniff my way back those childhood days. hahahaha. justin is DAMN PRO. after so many years. yeaa he pawned our asses. x____x. we played for around 2 hrs. good thing is, the LAN shop charges $1 per hr. hahahaha thats a damn good price.

so ... yeah. was quite late .. almost 2230hrs. had to head home ... or we'll miss the last bus soon! anyway we'd meet again on the next day ... :)

sunday

sunday is a tennis day. sunday is a tennis day. sunday is a tennis day. sunday is a tennis day. sunday is a tennis day. sunday is a tennis day.

yeah. played at csc. with my racket re-strung, i could feel that drastic difference in my shots. great! ian, king, ben, justin and pb were there together with me. total of 6 people. 2 courts, 4:2. ate the mee pok along the roadside again. it's as nice as ever ... and i love their soup man .... simply delicious. justin had too book in (awww), so he left earlier. pb waited for his mom to go and fetch him home. ben, ian and i were going to jh's place for dinner ... so to drag time, i went to ben's place, and ian went to king's place. haha. no valid rationale for that. but again, whatever. lol. agreement set to meet at bk mrt at 1810hrs and to head to jh's place.

jh met us at the mrt station. shannon met us a lil later. and there we went, jh's place! hmmm, settled to watch the soccer match first .. and then ordered canadian pizza. we watched, ate, talked, squabbled, laughed and had fun. psp, tv, mahjong. hahaa oh ya, i finally learnt how to play mahjong. not really though .. i havent tried playing yet. SOON, SOON. we stayed till quite late at night ... and damned thunderstorm ... got us all wet on our way out. HAD TO GO BACK IN CUZ I LEFT MY WALLET AT JH'S PLACE ! ARGH. :x sry my bad. hmm ... and yes, pls organise such gatherings again! :D

side-track:

shannon said she's going overseas for studies ... more and more going overseas! -_- damn sad la! a few of our closer tennis team mates have left for aust ... first was jess, then branda, then qiyuan ... and now, shannon's going too. now's left with the guys ... u guys better be loyal and stay in singapore! hahaha. yes .. so it got me counting .. how many have gone overseas. and i hope the figure would stay stagnant for some time ...

i still remember the days in college ... where we would hang out until the late evening to play tennis. then go for dinner as a team ... or maybe a big group ... we would even sacrifice our saturdays in that dumb college just to play tennis. tennis camp - one of the few best things during college days .. tennis chalet ... unforgettable memories. we even had mass conversations over msn back then ... politics aside, spirit wise, the team was flawless. yes, i gotta admit, skills wise, we had a lot to catch up. nevertheless, we still enjoyed one another's company ..

yes, i miss those days ... those SR tennis days ... :)

national day eve

2007-08-09T13:46:00.000+08:00

today's national day eve. oooh blaaa, i don't really care about those patriotism thingy we're reciting or singing or whatever ... most importantly, we know it well in our hearts.
parade commencement at 0830 hours. everyone from MINDEF and i meant almost everyone .. gathered in the podium .. there were songs being played .. performance on stage ... by music and drama company from SAF. basically, we're all just waiting for the VIPs and VVIPs to arrive .. the service chiefs - COA, CNV and CAF, chief of defence force (CDF) and the 2 ministers for defence.
stood there and watch the performance for almost an hour. felt spastic for them, felt spastic watching them. HAHAHA. im so evil, but seriously, the guys danced like .. nevermind. i was telling lance .. imagine you dance like that in a club .. and we all started laughing out loudly. WUAHHAHA, it was really hilarious. i don't think anyone seriously bothered to join in the sing-along session ... yeah. at least not me. lol.
finally! the VIPs and VVIPs arrived. around 0930. proceeded with the pledge taking and national anthem. boring parade as usual. then around 10 mins later, we all gathered at the canteen for refreshments, while the ministers took a walk-about. and, not surprisingly, a lot of our department staffs were trying to siam the minister. LOL. they siamed siamed and siamed, but ultimately, the minister still came to us (them). had a little talk-cock ... some of us shook his hands .. I DID! :D first time! he's an influential role model .. of course man! he's the minister!
well, he ended off the tour with a speech .. regarding our NDP on the floating platform .. and that was it. he left.
and yes ........ back to work ... -___________________-

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! lol ... went to TM after that ... had dinner ... watched DISTURBIA at century square ... sheesh, disturbia was really disturbing ... a movie full of suspense (besides that hot babe :p) but overall .. i'd give it a 6/10, not recommended for people with heart problems. lol. after movie, slacked awhile ... and went back ... *snores*

ARGH. but after that ... somehow i started to hit those winners .. SOMEHOW la. so ash was saying 'eh, power la. your racket got baptised by me. now u hit like that' LOL. yeah, but whatever. im gonna restring my racket next week.

lan lan suck thumb - a phrase we learn from the army.

the voices of NSFs cant be heard

2007-07-26T11:23:00.000+08:00

they say ... everyone is treated equally.
they say ... there is no discrimination.
at the end of the day, we still cant sense it.

quite a lot of debates going on about the recent incident ... so much so that it even went onto the media. what's the rationale? i think outsiders looking in are focusing on the wrong point!
i think the point raised regarding equality is the keypoint. misinterpretation. question is: is it EQUALITY ? or is it FORCED CONFORMITY ? it's about NSFs vs regulars, and non-officers vs officers. a game between the ranks.

of course! we have no say over the 'PAY' NSFs get since its so-called allowance for us. and as for officers, since their responsibilties are so so much more than the non-officers, we can't argue too.

the point about equal treatment is ... what others see us as ? we HAVE A FEELING that we are treated as dispensable toy soldiers, just like huh? die ah? aiyah we deploy another fella loh. but, just a reminder, we're soldiers, not slaves. and all of us are just as curious as anyone else about offences and punishments. don't need to re-iterate much. just that some people get heavy punishments, and some get lighter ones. we know it deep in our hearts, it cant run away. these questions are very sensitive and subjective. WE ALL KNOW. but then, where are the answers ?

furthermore, the trend that higher rankers can tekan small fries like hell they like began from BMT. back then, it was different. that was to instill discipline and lay down commands. it was for new soldiers to get used to life. those kinda 'fuckin' soldier, get down! prone and crawl ! bash the bushes! double! double !!!' oh c'mon, we got used to that .... that's life. but since we got used to this kinda crap, it does not mean that they can start SABOTAGING us .... once again, misinterpretation. commands and sabotage - two worlds apart. people use the difference in rank to sabotage those who are inferior. its basic human instincts to make use of one another, i agree. its also basic human instinct to prey on the weak. BUT, its not very nice ya ...

the thing about the Chain of Command - does this thing REALLY work ? do things ALWAYS get sorted out if we were to go through the PROPER chain of command ? there must be a reason why we seek help from higher authorities first. the reason behind it ? simple. people get worried that they don't get any outcome by going through the proper channel. they are scared that they won't get any desired answers. in other words, they are aware of the NO ACTION TALK ONLY (NATO) practice. thus, i believe that is why we skip levels, all the way up to the highest possible authorities. and we BELIEVE, for the sake of their REPUTATION, these high authorities will not do nothing. if you say the high authorities have got hell lot of shit load, question - if only their subordinates were more efficient ... if only we could trust them ...

in the early morning run
with a fieldpack on my back
with an aching in my heart
and my shirt is full of sweat

i'm so far away from home
holding rifle in my arms
with an aching in my heart
as the cold wind blows ....

when the cold wind blows
when the cold wind blows
when the cold wind blows
and i miss you so ...

i know i know
you have to go
so hurry back home
and i'll miss you so ...
