I love movies!

2010-08-20T14:33:00.001+08:00

Yes! Finally submitted ER and HMT group essay! Feel a huge burden lifted off my back, and the weekend is here hooray! Feel so tired after all the late nights and essay writing... time to kick back and relax! AWESOME!

2010-08-19T01:15:00.002+08:00

I gotta remind myself to stop doing last minute work, but I guess it'll be tough. Writing essay thru the night and only sleeping for 1+hr before going to sch is worse than waking up with a effing hangover! Head's been throbbing the whole bloody day like a goddamn jackhammer hammering my skull! Even an afternoon nap couldn't get rid of it..

At least I can say good riddance to the ER essay, with two more essays to go and a friday submssion just 2 days away it's time to nut up or shut up!

2010-08-13T12:55:00.003+08:00

Wow can't believe I'm posting a blog post again. It's been 8 full months since the last time I posted here. Wonder if anyone reads my blog, probably not. Just a quick update, I ran my 5th marathon on the last day of May. I worked at Marina Bay Sands during my last holiday which was a pretty good experience! A real eye-opener and even though I didn't really enjoy most of my time there, it was a good experience nonetheless. I just turned 25 two weeks ago, reaching my quarter life.. crisis!

Nth else much I guess, still single, still on the lookout =D Stuck in school now doing ER essay, this sem really suck!

Ok enough ranting on my boring, uneventful life.

Happy friday the 13th!

Hi y'all. On sunday I went for my 4th full marathon, this year's standard chartered singapore marathon. I finished in 6hrs 23mins, very slow by normal standard definitely, but it was much faster than my previous timing! So I believe I can do better for the next one (if my knee holds)!

This year's run was kinda different for me, as I ran the whole race from start to finish all alone. It was boring, and tough pushing myself when at the last 10km my legs just refused to listen to me and get going. I also can't help thinking of LY throughout the whole race. When I ran my first marathon in 2007, and last yr when we ran together, she had been there at the finishing line with me. Even though we signed up together long ago in June, it's sad we couldn't run tgt this time.

Sometimes I think I am still coping ok with not having her by my side, but I know deep down inside it'll take a longer time to really be ok. My room was filled with memories of her, everytime I go some place where we've been tgt or do things we've done tgt it just reminds me of her and I start to get emo. Seeing her on my facebook live feeds, she says she's very depressed. I hope it's not because of me. Why should it be anyway? I don't know why I'm thinking so much, she didn't even give us a chance to talk things out and at least have a clean break. Sigh.. I hope I get over this soon.

On a lighter note, I'll be going to Bangkok next thurs for four days with my bros! It'll be our first overseas trip together after knowing one another for 10yrs now! We just planned the itinerary on wednesday night, and except for packing and changing money, everything's good to go. Lots of food, shopping and massages! Sex capital of the world, here we come!

2009-11-24T00:08:00.002+08:00

Hey all, just a few updates on my life (like who cares anyway?). I ended exams a few weeks ago, and now I'm back working at e2i which is good, can earn some pocket money. 2 weeks ago I broke up with my beloved gf, because things weren't going well and the r/s was just going downhill. I also saw something I wished till now I did not see. I was really angry, hurt and at a lost. I just kept blaming myself for not seeing the signs. So I initated the break up. I wished, even if eventually this r/s could not be saved, to have settled this face-to-face but alas, she did not even want to meet me to talk or iron things out. 2 weeks to cool down, don't know why I'm feeling emo again. I keep having qns in my head, did I act on impulse? What if I wronged her? Why doesn't she at least clarify things with me? To say I don't think about her, don't miss her, I'm just lying to myself. Two years and almost 4 months... I loved her deeply, but I guess it's not meant to be. It'll take some time to get over this r/s.. I hope I am strong enough.

P.S. Lihyee, if you're reading this, I wish you well in your future endeavours.

2009-10-04T18:33:00.002+08:00

HI EVERYONE! Ok I haven't been updating my blog, for a very VERY long time. Just a quick update.. I'm now studying at SIM-RMIT taking bsc in business management! Just comepleted the first semester and preparing for exams at the end of the month. I've also been quite active in school activities actually, surprisingly to many of my friends. What? Was I that slack? Haha ok till the next post! See ya!

2009-03-30T17:04:00.007+08:00

This is something I picked up from my email. I thought it was pretty meaningful so here it is..

The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21. Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23.
The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US.
Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication.
In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.

In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail.
The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.

An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that ketie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.
The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see their son marry his high school sweetheart.

Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube, listening a song from her husband and friends.

At the reception, katie had to take a rest a lot. The pain do not let her to be standing up for long periods.

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think.....
Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last. We should stop making our lives complicated.

Life is short
Break the rules
Forgive quickly
Kiss passionately, love truly
Laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
No matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

Cheers =)

The following is extracted from Wikipedia :

"Modern research on abstinence
Since 1957, no ill effects have been shown to be associated with frequent sexual activity, and indeed many studies have demonstrated that it facilitates substantial health benefits. One study suggests that frequent ejaculation may lead to a lower risk of prostate cancer.[2] There have been numerous studies indicating that excessive repression of the sexual instinct leads to an increase in the overall level of aggression in a given society. For example, psychologist J.M. Prescott, in a cross-cultural investigation published in The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (1975), found that societies forbidding premarital sex are plagued by acts of rage, and tend to have higher rates of crime and violence. Prescott also found a link between sexual repression and aggression, insensitivity, criminal behaviour, and a greater likelihood of killing and torturing enemies.

In 1997, Forbes Magazine reported on "one of the most credible studies correlating overall health with sexual frequency". Queens University in Belfast tracked the mortality of about 1,000 middle-aged men over the course of a decade. The study, published in 1997 in the British Medical Journal found that "men who reported the highest frequency of orgasm enjoyed a death rate half that of the laggards"; that is to say, those that engaged in sex more frequently enjoyed longer lives. The report also cited other studies to show that having sex even a few times a week may be associated with: improved sense of smell; reduced risk of heart disease; weight loss and overall fitness; reduced depression (in women); the relief or lessening of pain; less frequent colds and flu; better bladder control; better teeth; and improved prostate function. The report cited a study published by the British Journal of Urology International which indicated that men in their 20s can reduce by a third their chance of getting prostate cancer by ejaculating more than five times a week."

Time to get naughty!! <:)

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night
by Snoopy

Part I
It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out!
A door slammed. The maid screamed.
Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon!
While millions of people were starving, the king lived
in luxury. Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas, a boy was
growing up.

Part II

A light snow was falling, and the little girl with the
tattered shawl had not sold a violet all day.
At that very moment, a young intern at City Hospital was
making an important discovery. The mysterious patient in
Room 213 had finally awakened. She moaned softly.
Could it be that she was the sister of the boy in Kansas
who loved the girl with the tattered shawl who was the
daughter of the maid who had escaped from the pirates?

The intern frowned.
"Stampede!" the foreman shouted, and forty thousand head
of cattle thundered down on the tiny camp. The two men
rolled on the ground grappling beneath the murderous hooves.
A left and a right. A left. Another left and right. An
uppercut to the jaw. The fight was over. And so the ranch
was saved.
The young intern sat by himself in one corner of the
coffee shop. he had learned about medicine, but more
importantly, he had learned something about life.

THE END

2009-01-06T17:41:00.002+08:00

Happy 2009 everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything new recently. Recently, I got a few surprises in my life but shan't elaborate further!

Anyway let's get down to the post. What makes you the happiest, or when are you the happiest? I guess, for me it is waking up in the morning. Why? Cos you know you're alive, and you have a full day to enjoy ahead of you. Doesn't matter if you're going to work, or you're gonna hang out with friends. You might lament waking up early in the morning feeling tired because you had a late night, but deep down you should know you feel good seeing the first rays of lights through your bedroom curtains and taking a deep breath of fresh air when you open up your windows!

We should always live life to the fullest and cherish everyone around you shouldn't we? Why get angry? You'll feel more tired. Why frown? You'll only get more wrinkles. Smile, to yourself. To your family and to your friends. You'll feel warmth inside when you get a smile back and it'll totally make your day!

Say 'see ya later alligator!' when you leave and not 'bye!' haha. Pinch your lil' bro's cheek, slap ur lil' sis' arm, spend time to talk to your parents, and of cos give your girlfriend a peck before you go off.

Well just things that'll make you a lil happier! Cheers!

2008-12-09T17:33:00.002+08:00

Hi all!

Time for an update me says! Well nothing much going on in my life now except working at e2i. Still troubled over whether to convert to perm staff there or go study full time. There's gonna be a change of leadership over here in the next yr so I'll see how it goes before deciding!

Anyway, I completed my 2nd full marathon on sunday! Don't ask me why I did it, I don't know either. I almost forgot how painful and torturing it was running a marathon and I was reminded of it again on sunday. Getting up at 4am in the morning and cabbing down to Esplanade to run 42km on a sunday morning?! Almost everyone in office said i'm nuts... but as a "motivational board" along the 42km route says,
"The Pride is worth the Pain." haha cheesy huh? But it's pretty true.

Ok my legs still hurt like mad! I think i'll take a week to heal. Till then.. ciaoz!

2008-10-22T16:47:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone, yup it's been a long time since I updated my blog so here's an update of what's going on. I'm currently working at Ntuc e2i, which is the Employment and Employibility Institute(it's really a mouthful to tell ppl where I work!). Life here is pretty good so far, my colleagues are very friendly and helpful so it helps me settle in really fast.

We do a lot of events here besides the usual data keying and stuff and we're also handling the recruitment for Marina Bay Sands as some of you might have heard from the news and stuff! So it's getting pretty busy especially in november.

Other than that... life's pretty much normal for me I guess. Nothing to be happy or excited about. Oh wells, shall see how things go! Life is a long road after all, we should cherish the people around us, especially those close to you.

Ok shall not talk too much rubbish. I'm blogging during work anyway so that's all folks before my boss comes around! Ciao....

2008-08-18T02:24:00.003+08:00

Hello. It's kinda weird blogging at this hour because I usually blog in the middle of the night when I'm at my "emo-est". Oh before anything...........

FIND SNOOPY!

This one's for you girlfriend. =)

Ok now back to topic. My sis just flew off last night to New York to study there for one semester. So it's about 4.5 months and she'll be back by Boxing Day tentatively. Haha so you guys will prob see the same blogskin till then cos she's my official blogskin maker! She's prob still on the plane now and will prob reach around 11pm tonight singapore time.

Take care sis. Have fun there yo!

I just celebrated my birthday recently too, on 2nd August. Thank you to all(not many) who have remembered(by friendster alert or anything else) and wished me Happy Birthday, really appreciate it. Went to Aquamarine at Marina Mandarin for dinner with my family and my girlfriend. The food was very good, and in conjunction with National Day, there was this theme going on, 60's Singapore. There was some very nice retro local food then we can't find anywhere else. There's also the seafood. Wah like nice! There was also a lot retro decorations put up in the restaurant. There's those old biscuit tins, old soft drink bottles and vinyl record players! As that night was the NDP preview show too, we managed to catch the fireworks up close. There was also a complimentary cake from the restaurant, on top of the one my parents and girlfriend got me, i had 3 cakes in total! And they are all chocolate cakes!

The restaurant staff surprised me too when all of them came over and sang me a birthday song when they brought the cake over. Yup so overall it was a nice experience. We went home after that to cut the other two cakes and that was the end of the day!

Alright I guess that's all today. Still feeling weird my sis is not around. Heard that zhen! Faster come back and do ur crazy rants ah! I wonder how the house was like last time when I enlisted for NS. I think it was pretty quiet too. haha.

Ok see ya peeps. Check in soon.

2008-08-01T17:52:00.009+08:00

oh what the heck. Nothing to do so here goes y'all...

This is me at Fremantle market. A really old place full of goodies. Too bad we only went there for abt an hour. Every place closes at 5pm there you know?

And this is The Gap and also the Natural Bridge down at Albany, Western Australia. 'Nuff said.

Lo & behold The Valley of the Giants Tree-top walk! You gotta be there to believe the view!

And this is the Glouchester Tree. There's this small treehouse up at the very top of this tree, I didn't climb all the way up there though.

This is Busselton Jetty, which is at 1.84km the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere! Too bad we went there during very bad weather conditions, check out Wikipedia to see the amazing view there!

This is the view from my aunt's place, where we were staying during our trip to Perth. Really nice quiet place with a lovely view.

This is my aunt's place from outside. Lovely ain't it?

Alright that's all for today. Will post more another day I promise. So check in soon y'all.

Cheers.

2008-08-01T17:19:00.003+08:00

Hello! Sorry I haven't been updating my blog, just didn't feel like updating it. Well I really enjoyed the Perth weather when I was there. Wish I could have stayed there a while longer! Bought quite a lot of stuff too, well mostly for the girlfriend but yea.. you know how it is right? haha. Spent most of the time on the road though.

The first day we reached there we went shopping at Harbour Town. It is this factory outlet shopping arcade and all the shops there are on sale. Bought a pair of adidas sneakers and some tees there. Oh well the next day we took a road trip down south towards Albany and visited some of the attractions there like The Gap, Valley of the Giants cum Tree-top Walk, Busselton Jetty(which is 1.84km long!), and the Glouchester Tree.

The last stop of the road trip we went to visit my cousin Xianghui's place and his wife. They seem to be doing well and their house looks really cosy, just nice for two persons plus one coming along the way in her tummy! Congrats bro!

Spent the next few days just shopping at their supermarkets pretty much like Giant or Carrefour here. There's Target, K-Mart, Coles and Woolworths I think. The last two is pretty much like a super gigantic Cold Storage. Yup so that was pretty much it! I'll post pictures another day. Still trying to sort out the hundreds of photos I took.

Anyway it's my birthday tomorrow. Sian man i'm old already. haha feeling very sian though. Feel so troubled lately, yet no one to here me out. sigh, like i'm carrying a huge boulder on my back everyday. Oh wells, hope things will get better soon.

See ya later alligators =)

2008-07-20T01:03:00.003+08:00

Hello! Check out my new blog skin yo! Thanks to my sis for this skin, haha I know you didn't take much time with this right! Anyway I'm in perth right now, at my 2nd aunt's place here at Mindarie. It's a lovely place with a great view of the sea! I took so many pictures with my EOS 450D that my 4GB card is running out but too bad my old laptop can't read my SDHC card so gotta wait till I return to singapore to transfer all the pictures I took to my laptop!

The weather here is really nice, though there was some pretty strong winds last night and saw many trees uprooted and shattered bus stop glass outside Murdoch Uni. Otherwise it's pretty nice and cool, temp is around 16 to 17 deg C during the day and last I heard it's 2 deg C right now outside. Ok I better stop, i'm sounding like the weather man. Haha went to many places and bought lots of stuff! Ok my laptop batt is running low so i better publish this and shut it down! Good night y'all!

2008-06-23T15:35:00.001+08:00

Why do we fall down? We fall down so we can learn to pick ourselves up again.

2008-06-23T02:24:00.004+08:00

Haha yup I guess I'm procrastinating huh? Well I said before, the reason I started this blog was simply because I wanted an outlet to vent my frustrations or when I'm feeling emo and stuff and have no one to talk to. Anyway here I am! Ok let's see, shall update you ppl. I completed my national service 2 weeks ago, and this is for those who kept asking what am I doing now or what am I gonna do, I haven't been doing anything these few weeks. I'm looking for a job, a full-time one. Hopefully can find a workplace near my place. Decided not to continue my studies for the time being. Gonna work for a year before continuing my studies. Gives me some time to think about what I wanna do in the future too right? Anyway what made me come to decision is that partly cause I'm running out of money, like seriously low. Haha I gotta control my spending man. The next thing is, I know I can't get into a local university unless I take up part-time studies so studying at a private institute's gonna be pretty costly. My sis Jiazhen is already studying at SIM at her school fees are really ex so if I start studying it's really not gonna be easy on my mother if she's to pay both of our school fees. So yup.

I'll be going off on holiday folks! Going to Perth in Western Australia on the 15th of July till the 23rd of July. After the holiday I'll go start on a full time job so hopefully things will be good. Show me the money!

Today I met up with some of my ATI BX batchmates. They organised a dinner gathering at Sakura restaurant at orchard. The food's mediocre in my opinion. $30? I don't mind paying a bit more to eat at a hotel buffet. Anyway it was great to meet up with them again. Talked cock and sang song like we did back in ATI. Took a picture, the only picture we took tonight. Here take a look....

Haha yup we went our separate ways after the dinner but hopefully we'll meet up again soon.

Watched 'You don't mess with the Zohan' last night with my girlfriend. It's a really funny movie, just pure senseless fun! Watch it for a great laugh yo. Anyway it's getting late, time to go back to the quarter-final between Spain and Italy! Then it's bedtime.

See ya when I see ya.

2008-04-05T01:30:00.002+08:00

Hello! Long time no post! Yup here I am again. I'm flying off to india this afternoon! Will be gone for two weeks. To be honest I really don't feel like going but thankfully it's only two weeks instead of three. Heard the weather there is damn hot, hitting 40 deg C and higher. Think I'm going to melt there! Anyway everything's pretty much the same since the last time I blogged. Life has been fine and everything's fine and dandy.

Took a lot of nice pictures! Realised I haven't posted pictures for a very long time so I'll post them right here when I come back from india! Wish me luck!

2008-02-07T03:18:00.000+08:00

Happy lunar new yr everyone.

yup it's cny once again, but somehow this year don't seem as exciting as last time. Feel so sian ah! Out.

2008-01-30T23:30:00.000+08:00

I wanna hold you till I die.. till we both break down and cry.. i wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides..........

Is there anyone to turn to? Sometimes life throws you off track, you feel so lost, sad, and you don't know what you should do. I feel so sad, yet I can't show it. I feel like crying but no one'll understand. What am I to do?

2008-01-29T20:05:00.000+08:00

Does it feel like sometimes, everything just doesn't go your way? Everything just seemed, well, wrong. Feels like now. No one to talk to, no one to turn to, feels so lonely.

I feel horrible, terrible, i wish i can wish away all these feelings yet i can't. And I still have to put up a happy front in front of ppl. Why? My friend said to me just now, "Hey hongmin, why doesn't your bunk always look so dark, so sad." I replied, "Well i guess it's the people in there." People judge you by what they see, and not how well they know you. I wish ppl won't judge, i wish ppl will look beyond the surface.

I feel so helpless ah!!! Look i don't even know what i'm talking abt.

I wish I can be there beside you, to hold your hand, give you a warm hug, so you'll feel better. I'm always here for you my dear.

2008-01-20T09:18:00.000+08:00

Just came back from my COS duty. Today's COS came late, so I had to book out late cause of him. sigh. I seriously think that COS duty is a jinx or curse to me. For some reason something bad will always happen outside whenever I do COS. Almost every time, it's fucking ridiculous.

I don't understand what's going on too. Sometimes I feel so unappreciated. All the things I've done, all the sacrifices I've made, it feels like all are for naught. I feel so discouraged, so exhausted sometimes. The worst is this situation can change in the blink of an eye. Why does it always have to be like this?

Sigh, I don't know what else I should say. What else I can say. I feel so helpless. I feel everything bottle up inside me it's suffocating me to death. Where's an outlet when you need one?

4 months and 19 days to ORD.

HI all, haven't posted it a while. Seems like most of my posts starts with that sentence. I don't really have time to sit down and blog, and maybe it's a good thing that I don't always update my blog. Everytime I do it usually means I'm feeling down and just want an outlet to let go. I remember the reason I started this blog was cause I can use it to vent all the god damn frustrations. I don't like sitting down at a place for too long, I don't like to sit in front of the computer for very long. I seriously don't understand how some ppl can do that.

2008-01-05T20:25:00.000+08:00

ORD date is 8th of June, 2008. That is 5 months and 3 days from today. I WANT TO FREAKIN' ORD! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all! Ok here's another post! Doing guard duty tmr which really suck. At my gf's place now! Deja vu! Remember the first time I came over here and posted about it, I should scroll back and take a look at it again. haha. Just celebrated our third month together last weekend and it seemed like we just got together yesterday! Had a low-key celebration this month at my place where we cooked pasta together. Haha I've never done something like this before and it's really great doing it with someone special. It tasted great even though she refuse to admit it! Made her a card I drew myself yesterday and i haven't done something like that for sometime so it took me a while to finish it but i think it's worth it!

Went to have fillings down at the dental clinic today too and after that headed down sim lim on a mission to search for this elusive earphones for my gf! Bought a new graphic card for my PC too cos my current one really can't make it! The graphics was great! Can't wait to install more games to see what it can really do! I hope it doesn't distract my brother from his work though! Oh yea, he's having school holidays now. there goes my money again!

Ok that's abt it for now! Check back next week! Ciao

2007-10-07T04:34:00.000+08:00

I think I've never drove down PIE so fast before. Everyone knows I don't like to speed. The only time I do is when I feel unhappy. Don't know why, my foot just pushes the pedal all the way down. Think I reached from 10mins faster than usual this time. Anyway....

Been reading this book called 'Rules of Life'. It's a pretty interesting read, though I have not finished. Been reading up the section on rules of relationships. There was something about one usually treats or thinks his or her friends are always better than their partner, and when the friend makes this mistake it's usually laughed off yet when the partner commits the same mistake it's like he or her killed someone. I think it's true sometimes. Well there's plenty of interesting things inside you'd probably see very familiar, but I guess it does help in the relationship.

It's so damn late. I feel hungry. I wonder when the dark clouds will lift and I can see the sun again.

2007-09-22T11:17:00.000+08:00

argh god damn! why do i have to fall ill now. nose is all blocked up and my throat hurts. muscles feel aching. i think i'm gonna be down with fever. went to the dentist yesterday and things wasn't very good for me. i have 3 bad teeth and they're affecting my nerves and need to do a root canal op to correct it. it's god damn expensive. total cost is around $5000! then today my dad checked out another specialist and it's cheaper so i'm going there later. it's to check how many nerves are affected and prob to do the operation at the same time. i don't have a good feeling abt it but heck, what to do? what could be worst than what i've been going through mentally the past few weeks? popped a cold tablet and it's making me drowsy already. well might as well, i hate the feeling of being so tired yet can't sleep cos so many things are running through my mind at the same god damn time!

Hi all. On a one-week break from army now, though I'm not as happy as I should. Actually, I can't remember the last time I was happy. Life just hasn't been going as good as I wished. Sometimes I get very confused, what am I to do, why can't I be the person she wants me to be? It's so hard to think now, the stupid cold tablet is messing with my mind again. My throat hurts. I feel a fever coming. sigh. I guess I haven't been doing enough. I don't know. I heard so many hurtful things, and I chose to chuck them aside because I want to believe it's not like this at all. Ppl have been telling me a lot of things, what I should do, but sometimes it's easier said than done.

I feel so frustrated now. It seems like everything I do is wrong. Everything I say is wrong. Everything everything is wrong to her. Does it matter to her if I care? I wish she knew, I wish she can see it. Words are words but somethings should be seen through the heart and it's not working right now.

Argh I prob could rant and rant now but it doesn't really matter now, for now anyway. I guess I prob really need a wake up call right about now.

Hello. I'm back from tekong. Just reached home this morning though the field camp ended last night. I feel so so tired, so drained, more mental than physical. I felt like I went through the worst week of my life. It didn't start of like this. It just got worst, and worst. I couldn't train the recruits properly, I couldn't work with my colleagues and I just had so many things running through my head I don't know what I should do first. I nearly broke my knee jumping off the 5-tonner truck once, just have to land a little harder I'd probably be in hospital now. It's really hard to face so many ppl and pretend nothing is happening and I have to continue doing my job because I'm a commander and I have to know my place. It's really difficult. We're humans too, we have problesm too. Can't remember how many times I got fucked the past week by the bosses. And on the last night of the field camp was the Battalion movie night cum BBQ at Sanyongkong Campsite at the Tekong reclaimed land. They played '300' and everyone seemed to had lots of fun. Well almost everyone.

I don't know what's going to happen next. I feel so god damn dead and miserable!

2007-09-02T11:17:00.000+08:00

I'm so so tired! I seriously cannot remember the last time I had a proper weekend. I just booked out today. It's the 3rd or 4th weekend beign burnt thanks to so many events and duties. I can't remember the last time I had a proper sleep either. This is so god damn fuckin' ridiculous! We're humans too give us a god damn break! This really sucks man. Yup I did COS duty yesterday. This is the 3rd COS duty I did this week, on top of having to look after the platoon, among other things and getting fucked around by that crazy ass PS of mine.

After I handed over my duty I headed home and don't know why I went down to clementi central instead of taking bus from jurong east as I always do. I haven't been to clementi central for a long time even thought I spent always my whole teenhood over there with my buddies. Things changed I walked around there for a while, tracing the paths I always walked. So many new shops appeared, well some shops are still there. Had breakfast at clementi mac. Used to always go there after school with friends or on sat mornings before I enlisted with my cousin for breakfast. Clementi mac still looks the same since I was in primary school! The paintings, and the murals on the wall, and the tables and chairs. Went to NTUC to get some cup noodles for camp before heading to get my hair cut before going to tekong. Yup I'll be away in Tekong from tomorrow till next saturday but I'll still be contactable as long as the hp batt lasts! Yup headed home after that......

Had a terrible night last night. You know usually you don't remember what you dream of, but I remembered really clearly what I dreamt of last night, and it felt so real, and scary. I was lying down in the interview room of my company office becos the lights outside cannot be switched off and I thought I fell asleep, but I suddenly have this extremely uneasy and overwhelming feeling and my whole body felt paralysed and I couldn't move at all and I kept chanting cos that's what my mum taught me to do if something happens. I couldn't move and this great sense of dread and fear kept me there for god knows how long before I jumped up and ran out to find the whole place was dark and I couldn't see anything and it seemed like I was running in circles and circles before I felt that feeling of dread lifted and I found myself back in the interview room again. Don't know what the hell happened but I didn't wanna get out of bed so I just closed my eyes and waited for day. Maybe I'm too tired or I have too many things on my mind. I don't know. Felt so helpless. Then came this weird dream, of my sec sch friend and she came to visit and suddenly there were weird animals running past and there's birds and deers and suddenly everything vanished and this boy whom I've nv seen before appeared, and he says he has cancer and man it's damn weird. I feel weird thinking and blogging abt this. I think I'll stop here for today.

Hi all! Well this weekend I'll be involved in the army half marathon. Nope I won't be running, but part of the organising. I'll be at the end point of the marathon doing the scoring of the runners. 60,000 ppl for the bay run can you believe?! Yup and I won't be sleeping tonight that's for sure. We'll be going down to marina and gonna be doing rehearsals and set ups there till 3am and gotta be on standby by 4am. This sucks! And god knows what time we'll end on sunday. I hope it's not too late. All these stuff are really burning my weekends and it really kills. I miss my gf! I wish I have more time with her.

These few days seemed to be a roller-coaster ride for me. My mind seemed to be in a blank. I don't know how I should feel. THere's so many things going on. Some things I did, or said, and I regret it so much cos I know it's wrong. I'm wrong to be like that and I so hate myself for being like that. god pls help me!

Life's like a roller-coaster, always having it's ups and downs, guess it's the same for everything else right? There's always challenges, obstacles set in front of us and all we can do is to conquer it and move on with our lives knowing things will be better cos every everytime we fall we gotta pick ourselves up. We'll become stronger after everytime we fall and I hope I can believe this and this phrase I always say "Tomorrow will be a better day!" I hope so..

2007-08-19T00:21:00.000+08:00

I feel like everytime I blog I feel down. Well I did mention before this blog was a form of output for me. Anyway, was on duty for the Army half marathon Race Expo today. Was running around and busy the whole day. My feet still hurt from the route march few days ago. Got two huge blisters at the bottom of my right feet and my toe nail cracked too. Life sucks. Most ppl are nice and cooperative but some ppl don't seem to understand english, and they're so god damn rude. Like I owe you a god damn living. Was suppose to spend the day with my gf tmr but guess what? The boss wants all commanders to be down for the Race Expo tmr as well. There goes my weekend, and the next few weekends till those botaks POP from bmt.

It ain't easy to be in a relationship. It ain't easy to be in a relationship when you're serving national service, becos you think of your gf all the time yet you can't be with her. She wouldn't like it too, you not being with her all the time, not there for her when she most needs you. I hate the army, the whole organisation and I hate what I'm doing in there now! We both know what we're in for from the very beginning. sign... Why's there this sense of deja vu? Why am I feeling like this again? Shall not say anymore....

2007-08-09T09:35:00.000+08:00

I just came home. Did my COS duty yesterday. Why am I always doing duty when everyone else books out? I think mr.tong wilson aka Admin Spec doesn't like me. Yesterday he told me he plans to throw me 2 weekend duties for sept. I wanna kill someone. Took the usual route home, except that I just walked really slowly. I prob never walked so slowly before, with my player plugged in, in my own world, sunk in my own thoughts. No one was awake when I reached home so i quietly came up here in my room sweet room.

What is wrong with me lately, why does my heart feel so heavy these few days. But I know I can get better, for me sake, for her sake. I love her so much I don't want her to get hurt, yet sometimes I feel like I am. Sometimes some things slip my mind and I always wish I can turn back time and rectify my mistakes. I just applied for 2 days off next week to rest myself. Have some time to spend with my dear gf too...

I miss my guardian bumblebee...

It hasn't been a month since I updated. Guess it's considered fast in that nowadays I only updated once a month or so. Well been busy, haven't had much time to be in front of the computer. Today's my nights off day and I just did guard duty last night. Only slept for an hour and that hour was cos i overslept. Something happened, anyway I stoned the rest of my day today. I have no idea what's going on around and my mind's a complete blank. No... no that's not right. my mind is filled with all kinda thoughts. THese thoughts are like strings and they are all in knots. My heart sank like a stranded ship to the bottom of the ocean. And now I'm falling sick. What a day.

There is so many things I want to say. SO many things i wish i can say but i can't. I don't know what to do I'm so confused. there seems not to be any one i can talk to now. So many things I don't understand.

Btw my birthday just passed, I'm 22 already. It's funny when you're young you're always looking forward to ur birthday cos you're turning a yr older but when you get older you tend not to be so looking forward to it cos well, you're turning older. The ironies of life.

irony..............

2007-07-18T00:01:00.000+08:00

Ok a lot of ppl are bugging me to update my blog! Here's some update : Took recruits for 1 month. It's SUPER tedious and it's bad for health cos we don't sleep enough! I need more sleep! Next, I met the most wonderful girl ever! Thanks to my poly friend WK who one day sms-ed me outta the blue pulling me to a "match-making" session. Well it was like a whirlwind courtship and she's my gf now and I can't be happier! My friends say I changed, that I kept smiling now. Well guess love does these things to you ;) No more terminator jokes guys. At her place now, keeping her company while she's chionging her projects but seems like she's already sleeping. Suppose I'll wake her up later >:D

Well nothing much else to blog about so check back soon!

2007-06-14T18:04:00.000+08:00

Hey ho.. what a busy week.. all the preparations for the enlistment this friday, which is tomorrow. Everything has to done so meticulously from the cleaniness of the bunk to the route of the tour for the parents.. So much work for us just to put up a "wayang" show for the SAF. Granted an early nights off today so as to give us a break from all the shit we had to do the whole week and also cos our tues nights off was burnt too... well never plan in advance in the army i guess. Had another company happy hour last night before the recruits came in. Had a BBQ at the company line before heading out to Zouk for mambo night but unfortunately we went too late and Zouk was full house.. as the regular clubbers expected.. Went to K Box at cineleisure instead.. pretty boring for me as I don't really sing and it's mostly mandarin songs.. my mandarin really suck so can't really read the lyrics too.. only finished singing at 4am then we headed back to camp and only slept at 5am.. The stupid thing is we have a enlistment day briefing at 10am.. so had to wake and really stoned around the whole day.. I need sleep!!!!

Watched 200 pounds beauty last weekend on DVD.. really funny movie.. really good. Did I mention Kim A-joong's really hot too? haha.. been listening to a lot of YUI too.. this is one of my fav song from her 1st album..

Well that's abt it.. gonna be confined for 2 weeks with the recruits till the end of the month so prob won't see me around till then.. Cheers!

2007-06-10T01:44:00.000+08:00

Hey all.. this weekend's actually exactly 1 yr after i enlisted.. man the year passed so fast. Hmm.. my recruits will be coming in this coming friday.. and will be confined with them for the 2 weekends.. kinda feel like enlistment all over again.. haha well.. I hope I can get nights off though.. otherwise it's gonna be deja vu again..

Went out with the bros today again.. headed down queensway to get the umbro kit we wanted and also bought a Nalgene bottle cos my red plastic bottle is leaking. Had pepper lunch at funan after that.. wasn't very impressed to be honest!

Something seems to be wrong with blogger tonight.. can't upload pics.. it's ok! Upload the next time... Sometimes the timing is nv right. Whenever I bring out my cam there isn't much to shoot but when I decide to go out without my cam there's something interesting to shoot.

Oh it's working again.. damn slow.. well here's the pepper lunch set i had..

Nothing much to talk about actually.. nothing much has been happening.. or have happened.. real boring huh?

Anyway watched 200 pounds beauty today on DVD.. Kim A-Joong is so HOT! hah.. the movie's great too.. i'm sure many ppl have watched it..

Was going to watch Taiyo No Uta the movie then I found out it got no subs.. so prob gonna go buy the DVD when I'm out..

Nothing much for now.. OUT!

2007-05-28T01:24:00.000+08:00

Hey! Well.. Just realised I've already had this blog for a year already.. and what a crazy year it has been.. gone through lots of shit.. mostly in the army.. really hate the army.. still do.. something i saw during my overseas stint in the soldiers' barrack bed.. someone wrote "Once Armour, Always Suffer". Haha yea the guys had a laugh about it but it's true we do more shit than others.. well that's life.. as I always say.. life is never fair.

Anyway.. found out that one of my bros finally got hitched.. think the guys are all really happy for him.. since he's been so sincere and committed.. the girl should be touched.. haha. He said, "Seeing your friend getting hitched, wouldn't you want to find a gf as well?". I didn't really answer him.. but I think.. if I were to meet a girl now it would be a miracle.. considering I spend 5 days in camp... it's not doing my social circle any good! Told ya I hate army.. Well anyway this prob ain't the best time to get into a relationship.. if I meet someone I guess it's fate then..
"What about someone from the past you can't forget?" he said. Haha I don't know man.. who is there? there hasn't been many.. though another thing which i always say comes up again.. Right girl at the wrong time.. equals wrong in the end isn't it?
Fate is cruel..

Anyways...... watched Pirates of the caribbean! Wasn't that bad.. though it was pretty confusing at times.. Had dinner at this chinese restaurant at the Hotel Intercontinental after that with my family.. celebrating my mum's birthday in advance.. well picture time again!

My lovely siblings and I

Oh yea.. few weeks ago I met up with my primary school friend.. thought it was really amazing to be able to meet up after like 10 years after we graduated.. here's a pic

that's abt it for now i guess.. check back later!

2007-05-12T01:53:00.000+08:00

hey hey hey! Posting time again.. yes.. was on leave these two days.. and took the opportunity to go out and meet up with my poly friends whom I haven't seen in a while. Was out about on thurs.. my friend Jack wanted to get a new phone and a PSP while I had intended to get a piece of ram for my pc and the samsung K3.. So off we went to PS to get the nokia phone he was eyeing and then we headed to sim lim where we finished off our "mission".. getting the stuff we had intended to buy.. man the K3 is really beautiful.. love it man..

Anyway it came with a promo and got some free gifts that came with it so headed down to funan to get the free gift before meeting up with WK and WT. Turned out wed was WK's birthday so we went to have dinner and a belated bday dinner with him too. Headed down to clarke quay after dinner.. the place really changed a lot.. so happening now.. man haven't set foot there since secondary school... must have missed out a lot.

Today went out with my army friends to catch a movie we were so curious about cos of the review we read in First mag.. after that we went to check out collector's toys.. saw this beautiful set of Bleach figures but it cost so much.. so decided not to burst the bank... one of them did though.. splurged on a Jack Sparrow and a Spider-man.. after that met up with my cuz at clarke quay (again..).. ended up at starbucks cos we didn't really feel like drinkin'.. after that gotta take a ride in her new ride! a BMW 3 series.. man it's comfortable.. got to drive it home too.. man the feeling can't be put in words.. totally diff from a jap car.... let's just say that totally made my day.. haha

well now for some pictures..

Clarke quay...

Well that's all.. take care y'all!

2007-04-21T02:38:00.000+08:00

Hi all.. wow my blog's been really dormant. Actually I started this blog just to vent some frustrations.. a form of output if you will.. and as time pass the feelings just mellowed ya know.. so I guess so did the blog posts.

Anyways.. a quick update on my life.. I completed 5 months of training at ATI last week and passed out from AISL course last friday.. finally getting my 3SG rank.. no big deal really.. it's such a small rank.. and we get all the shit. Well anyway got posted to 41 SAR and spent a week there already. Haven't done much as I got no men under me as of yet... good thing abt the camp is that it's prob the nearest camp to a residential area.. which of cos is super convenient for servicemen like us.......

Met up with an old friend today.. nothing outta the ordinary though.. even though i wasn't really sure I wanted to meet up with her.. cos she's always standing me up. Anyway prob not gonna see her much anymore after today.

Now as usual some pics..

Here is most of my section mates on top of our vehicle after POP

My sis and bro with me after my parents put on my rank..

Just a snapshot of my cuppa at Starbucks..

Alright that's all for now.. cheers y'all

2007-02-17T17:53:00.000+08:00

Hey ya'll... i think i'm prone to long breaks in between posts and gotta apologise about that.. guess sometimes i'm too lazy to start blogging.. Well anyways here i am.. and it's chi new yr eve! great.. super long weekend for us away from the dreaded place we call our camp.. haha. Just came back from outfield actually.. 4 days 3 nights.. pretty exhausting stuff but what to do? And hearing that non-combat servicemen are getting an extra hundred bucks which makes their allowance even with us makes it even more demoralising.. I mean.. c'mon.. sitting in the office and sweating your guts out in the field.. who deserves more? Anyways.. let's not spoil the mood..

Nothing much happened past few weeks.. though I got back in contact with a pri sch friend.. which was really amazing cos I guess it's not easy.. after like 10yrs.. and the ironic thing is we're neighbours.. prob a 5 mins walk from my place. Well all's well.

Now let's see what's there to talk abt today.. yes.. You know how some images will suddenly come to mind.. not knowing what triggered it.. and it's amazing how some things that happened even before i entered pri sch still sticks in your head after so long..

Guess not a lot of people know about this.. but I had this incident when I was a kid.. not sure how old i was but definitely before I entered pri sch.. was at some hotel or some place with my mum and was gonna go to the pool.. and you know.. kids.. get excited easily.. and me being a hyperactive one at that.. saw a slide by the side of the pool, ran to it, climbed up and slide right into the pool.. nvm that i can't swim.. remember sinking like a rock and couldn't get out and couldn't breathe.. was looking up and suddenly saw someone dive into the pool and pulled me out..

Some people might have a fear of swimming after that but don't know why.. maybe I just love being in the water. Kept getting my dad to bring me to the pool.. until finally when I was 6yrs old I joined my cousins to take swimming lessons.. been swimming ever since.. and i'm still with the same coach.. my coach practically saw me grow up.. yea.. love swimming a lot. Haven't swam much since I enlisted but i hope to catch up any chance i got.

Now maybe for some pics..

Took this pic some night at merlion park.. just playing around with the cam's aperture..

This one's taken last weekend above suntec's fountain of wealth..

Hey's a pic of my cousin's dog alfie.. cute lil' dog ain't he?

Another snapshot.. this time of my sis's phone..

Alright that's abt it.. enjoy the pics.. tag me so i know who've visited!

Last but not least wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year! Gong Xi Fa CaI!

2007-01-07T01:02:00.000+08:00

Hey ho.. didn't really wanna sleep yet and have really nothing to do.. so decided to come on and do some posting.. Went out with the bros today... hung out around marina and caught death note 2.. well didn't really wanna watch it cos I didn't watch the first movie but the guys wanna watch it so just followed the majority. Well it's not that bad.. at least there were lots of eye candy on show.. lovely japanese girls.. haha.

Had dinner at the Waraku(i think..) japanese restaurant after that.. Great service as usual... good food at reasonable price.. and they're opening a new outlet at clark quay.. and we got some cash vouchers for dining there! So it's good..

Went to Starbucks at suntec after that to chill.. always liked chilling at starbucks.. great ambience.. especially holland v and suntec.. Millennia walk's outlet was great until they moved to the middle of the mall.. yea i mean right smack in the middle with ppl walking all around.. real distracting.. haha.. well.. did some people watching(fav ).. chatted a lot.. 'bout girls.. our current lives.. what the future holds.. army.. girls again.. hah.. and the past when we were still in sec sch.. yup.. guess it's nice once in a while to reminisce abt the past..

Well that abt ended the day.. anyway it's pictures time! Haven't posted pics in a while so here goes.. ;)

with the bros at vivocity.. a rare time all of us made it.. haha

sentosa at night

sis's 17th birthday

lovely Honda racequeen at the Singapore Motorshow '06 (yup i was there)

Alright that should be good for tonight.. will post more next time! Adios for now.. cheers ;)

2007-01-06T01:50:00.000+08:00

Hey y'all again.. Happy new yr to all who's reading.. yea the new year's what.. 6 days old? And yea I haven't updated for a long long time.. Just few days back I read an article about the demise of blogs in Singapore or something.. and that 200 million blogs haven't been updated for a period of time.. if memory serves.. hah. Anyway.. don't know who reads my blog.. once there's this guy from taiwan who tagged.. damn weird..

Well.. let me check my last post.. 07 nov last yr.. almost 2 months since I last updated.. yea many things happened.. passing out from SISPEC.. posted to Armour.. among other stuff.. since it's already the new yr I'm not gonna touch much on it!

What i'll instead.. prob many ppl have already done.. is the highlights of the yr for me... Had wanted to do it last weekend before booking in but well.. what happens is also one of the reason why my blog's always not updated.. PROCRASTINATION! Girls and boys pls don't do that ey.. really bad.. and you'll never get anything done.

Alrighty then.. 2006.. what a year.. what a year it's been. Let's see.... we should start from the top..

Completed 3rd yr at Ngee Ann poly.. really great 2 yrs plus there.. met many friends and had lots of fun too.. and the graduation ceremony was something I probably won't forget for awhile... going up on stage to collect the diploma.. and leaving the place for the last time.

Met this lovely girl.. first saw her just before chi new yr.. was the first time in my life I approached a girl like that.. it was really crazy and still remember that day like it was happening now.. how she looked.. I was like this big bundle of nerves.. prob won't do something like that again.. don't know what made me do it too.. guess I was really smitten.. well anyway things didn't really work out well and.. well ya know as they say the rest is history.

The next big thing of 2006 was prob the turning point of my life..... enlisting for National Service.. yes.. never really know what to expect going in even though i'm one of the last of my buddies to enlist. Still can't forget the first day I stepped into tekong.. suddenly realised i'm taking so many things for granted.. like spending time with my family.. having a lil' chat with my mum at night, playing xbox with my brother and bickering with my sis.. and small things like sleeping in my own bed everynight.. it's like a luxury now.. Anyway tekong was really fun.. and went to SISPEC after that and in a blink of an eye it's been 6months since i've enlisted.. Still a trainee in armour training institute.. well long way to go.. and i'll fight on!

Turned 21 this yr! Adulthood.. can't believe it but yea.. still don't feel like one.. haha.. must be more serious.. Best part of it? Turning 21 at the jungles of tekong.. Had my birthday during field camp.. was pretty memorable..

Well many many things more but it's getting real late.. 3am already.. time to hit the sack.. maybe I'll do a follow-up.. if i can recall more stuff..

oh and to reply to the peeps who tagged.. hey Pearlyn! Nice to hear from you.. how're you doing? Probably won't be going back to ctnpcc anytime soon.. hmm btw they're beside queensway sec at the temp campus.. well you should know yea.. you pasted ur new link before.. yea thanks anyway ;) still single btw

hey jacko.. whassup bro.. you still owe me the Turbocharged! event pics man.. btw the event is reported in this month's Hot Stuff mag.. don't worry our pictures are not inside.. muahaha

Hey beakiie.. yes here you go.. an update.. knock urself out!

Cheers to all and have a great 2007 ahead!

2006-11-07T00:12:00.000+08:00

hey y'all... posting time again! Well let's see.. my previous posts have been pretty angst-ridden huh.. well thanks to 'em the past few weeks have been much better.. mentally anyway. Had a long weekend this week which is coming to an end(bookin' in in the morning.. sian..).. cos they burnt our saturday last week and we booked out the same day we have to book in which really suck. The past week marked the last week of section training which saw it end in a 4 day 3 night "Tekong holiday".. haha. Yup went to tekong on wednesday for ex. wanderer.. topo test.. and followed by the grand finale of section training which was ex. grandslam.. sounds "great" huh.. came back on saturday and today was the off day.. which they ate half of thanks to the Alpha company cohesion night at The Chevrons.. which was a pretty waste of time i have to say.. food wasn't really enough.. though there was plenty of beer to go around. Sat was my brother's birthday.. so had a lil' dinner followed by the birthday cake..

and some photo takin'...

oh and alfie was there too..

Had dinner with my family on sunday night.. which was great cos haven't had dinner together for some time cos they're always busy with the stall.. saw a group of ugly singaporeans at the restaurant when we were abt to leave... this family.. made their maids stand by the side of the table while they have thier dinner.. ridiculous.. give them a god damn seat for cryin' out loud!

well... 3 more weeks to go... hopefully it goes well.. unlike the past week.. when we had section training.. last monday.. someone from my section misfired a blank.. and didn't dare to admit.. and our whole section is gonna be punished becos of the coward.. it's sad.. and disappointing that this kinda shit have to happen to us.. well hope everything will turn our right..

think i better get to sleep or tmr's lecture will be spent sleeping! Check in soon aight and cheers to y'all who tagged.. ciao

24th oct... it's already been a month since i posted anything.. it's been a month already? man.. is it me or did these weeks just flew past? Haven't really had anything post... what happened... what happened the past month.. let me recall.. lots of training.. running around.. ostacles blah blah yahda yahda yahda.. all the army bullshit that we all gotta go through.. god damn bullshit. Past few weekends were rather short due to live firing on one weekend and.. what was it.. some nagivation shit test the next weekend. Started going outfield and putting on those god damn camo again.. This past weekend was the first proper weekend we had since parents visiting day.. booked out on friday night and will be booking in tonight.

Went out with the guys on sat night.. haven't seen them in awhile and we went to our usual haunt at the city area.. Had the usual walk around and dinner and chilling. Certainly been a long time since we started this.. way back in '99 when we were in sec2.. after npcc training on saturday mornings.. six of us would go for lunch.. either at the old kfc or macs.. then spend the rest of the afternoon walking around clementi central.. going to big bookshop..

Don't know whassup.. been thinking a lot abt the past these few days.. Sunday went out for lunch with my cousin jiahui. Went to holland v as usual.. had this big bowl of 'la mian' at crystal jade before going for coffee at starbucks.. talked abt the times we were kids.. among other things.. and now we're already 21yrs old.. never thought.. never thought.. life have been so carefree.. to the point where.. sometimes i don't know where i'm headed in life. What am i gonna do? What's life after national service? I hope I find that answer soon.. otherwise i'm just a lost sheep in the big city... ....

Few days a go a friend asked me for advice.. saying she got to knew this guy and have been chatting with him blah blah.. and then she finds out from her friends that this guy is a player blah blah.. and ask me if she should cont. talking to him.. Seriously.. i really don't know.. why're you asking me?! i in the god damn army for all these months i lost track of so many things out here! Not that i don't wanna help.. but it's your life.. whatever people says.. decisions up to you.. Everytime someone will encounter something like this.. pretty common place i guess. What to do.. all ppl like me can do is be a listening ear and try to say something useful i guess.. Everyone's got problems.. as my platoon sergeant puts it.. 'life sucks.. suck thumb and deal with it.' and guess i can't agree more.

Sometimes i don't understand ppl.. how some ppl can seem to take relationships so lightly.. this boat's sinkin' so i'll just hop into the next one that comes along. I nv thought i can hear someone say "oh btw i changed bf". I mean.. what's this? Not that you're changing your fucking handphone... and out there some ppl nv even tasted love.. well sometimes you wonder if those are really love.. anyway.........

These past few months.. ever since I enlisted.. been trying to forget this person.. and i thought i have.. always thought i have.. even telling some of my friends who know abt it to stop mentioning the person.. well.. maybe i haven't gotten over some things completely.. not anymore.. Guess it's time to let go and stop wasting time. Time to delete all the memories and those damn text messages in my phone.. and maybe.. life will be better after... People are never who they seem.. anyway.. who doesn't live under a facade?

Thank god for this blog.... ranting's a good way to vent some frustrations....
Will check back in.. i hope.. cheers and out.

P.S. Here's some photos btw

Having dinner at pizza hut the night before

pasta to top up with the pizza.. real hungry!

2006-09-24T19:04:00.000+08:00

First book out from sispec.. well at least now it takes a much shorter time to reach home than when i was at tekong.. first week at sispec.. at think most of us got a cultural shock. Kinda hard to get used to it.. this place makes bmt seem like a chalet. haha.. yup and many saturdays will be spent in camp.. some life eh? Yesterday went out with the bros to marina area.. had dinner at the hk cafe at the first floor but after the meal the guys didn't seem to like the place very much.. critising this and that. Prob won't wanna recommend any eating places to the guys anymore too much.. very hard to please... Anyway walked around before heading to uberburger to watch some epl matches and have a drink before heading home.. it's a nice place..

Took the bus home with jiahao and he started talking abt all the relationship stuff.. somehow these stuff.. when u start u just starting talking and some memories u thought u gotten rid of just comes back.. it sucks but.. that's life..

Went around clementi central today after going back to ctss to help out with the np guys to do some tying and lashing but i woke up real late so ended up doing more UNtying.. ha.. went around to get stuff that needed to be brought in to camp today..
and it's really funny walking around clementi, a place the bros and i have been hanging out since we were in sec2.. and going "oh.. wah.. what's this man? where's this shop? ey since when did this shop pop out?" haha. Yup clementi really is going under some facelift.. and having not been there as often as before.. the place changed quite a bit.

Alright booking in soon.. hate booking in... it sucks! See y'all next weekend.. cheers ;)

2006-09-17T23:53:00.000+08:00

Time sure pass realy fast.. it's already the last night of my bloc-leave.. Feels so short. Been post to SISPEC.. yea kinda expect it. Will be reporting at sispec hq tmr morning... These few days have basically been just r&r for me.. Did guard duty on tues night.. really tiring plus some situation happened.. shit always have to happen. Went to watch Monster House on thurs night with the guys at JEC.. don't know if they enjoyed the show but I think it's a really good movie. Went to Clementi mac to chill with my poly mates jack and waikee on friday night.. haven't hang out with them for a long time.. prob since after I enlisted we hardly met up. Chatted till round 1+am before going home. Sat went to sim lim sq with yq and jack cos yq wants to mod his psp.. after seeing us playin so many games guess he can't take it anymore too.. haha. My cousin jiahui celebrated her 21st birthday that night too.. held it at the riverboat at sentosa.. here's some pics..

Pretty much spent today driving around.. that's abt it... wonder how the next 10 weeks will be like.. Suddenly this feels like 3 months ago.. just before enlistment.. haha.. Alright will try to update the blog as often as possible.. cheers y'all

2006-09-12T00:58:00.000+08:00

Hey all! Haven't been updating my blog.. wow it's been a long time.. been pretty lazy too.. Let's see.. many things happened since the last time I updated my blog. Went through the 24km graduation route march.. which was really outstanding especially at the end where everyone of us were on a high even though it's way past our lights-off time. Finally passed out from BMTC last tues.. Prob one of the most draining day so far.. why? As luck would have it.. I went down with fever on monday night. YES monday night.. which was passing out eve, and the stuff we had to pack and all.. and was so bloody "LUCKY" i got picked for guard duty too. Didn't feel any better the next morning.. in fact I had the runs.. and was feelin' in the dumps the whole morning way up till before the parade started. And we had to deposit our heavy bags at another place and clean up our bunks and stuff.. I'd really like to thank my bunkmates for helping me out that day.. or I prob wouldn't have been able to take part in the parade. Had a warm-up session before the parade began.. and I didn't even have the strength to hold up my rifle.. so when the actual parade was abt to begin and all our parents are seated in the stands, it's almost magically all my pain went away.. and I survived the parade... yup.. and my parents and brother coming down to the parade square to put on my cap for me.. makes the 3 months of training in tekong all worth while.

The guys from my platoon wanted to play football the next day so not wanting to be a spoilt sport I went too.. everything went well till the final moments where I was charging down on goal and landed heavy on my left ankle.. So bloody unlucky.. guess I'm really injury-prone. It got so swollen at night I can't even walk. Wonder how I manage to go to queensway and get a Man Utd home jersey too.. ha. Got better over the next few days though it's still swollen... and I'm doing guard duty tmr.. well.. that's life. Went to Wenwen's birthday party on saturday.. converted his sis' old room into his personal entertainment room.. hahaa.. fantastic. Spent sunday with mum and my siblings in town. Did some window shopping before heading to Crown Prince Swensen's for dinner. Mum talked abt her lovely smile and how an ang moh came up to her at the stall commenting "You have such a lovely smile!". haha.. that's mum.. and went on to say that all three of us have really nice smile as well.. and how I don't smile as much as i should.. haha. Yea I do admit I don't smile a lot.. but maybe there's nothing much to smile abt... yet.

Went to play pool with Billy and Wenwen today at WCR.. haven't been there for a long long time.. had lunch at clementi central. Haven't been there for a long long time too. Things changed so much... it's only been half a yr.. and clementi seem so alien to me.. a place I used to go almost everyday during my sec sch days.. it's pretty weird.. and events this yr made me not wanna go to that place....... well it's the past. Walking past some places do remind you of some stuff. Went to IMM after that.. intending to collect my pants from giordano and trying my luck to change the 'Band of Brothers' DVD i bought a week ago cos the first disc was broken. Ended being a wasted trip cos giordano didn't have my pants ready and apparently i bought the last DVD. Well.... What can I say?

Well I guess that's abt it.. pretty long post.. and Messenger isn't working tonight.. suddenly felt very lonely. Lookin' at some stuff... realised maybe it's time to completely flush some things outta my head. 3 months of training in tekong and I still haven't got rid of the demons in my head.. WHY?! It sucks.. but blogging's a good way to let out some steam...... yup. I'd better sign off before ppl think I'm nuts.. Gd night to all >=)

2006-08-20T19:49:00.000+08:00

Hey all..

what a tiring week it has been.. Had my IPPT diagnostic test last tues.. which i passed and nearly got silver if not for my standing board jump.. and had my SIT test from thurs to sat(which was yest).. which pretty much burnt my weekend. Reached home around 9pm and was too tired to go anyway so spent quality time at home with my sis.. Watched disney's Cars on DVD before playing some xbox with her.. Went out with my cousin Jiahui today.. went to chill at holland again and that's pretty much my weekend.. still feeling really tired.. body's aching all over and I have a 16km route march tmr.. wish me luck.. 2 weeks to go.. see y'all!

2006-08-13T13:27:00.000+08:00

What a crazy night last night... For those who were anywhere but marina or esplande area.. GOOD JOB. Cos it seemed like half of singapore was there.. madness.. It's fine if we were there to watch the fireworks.. but all we wanted was to find a place to sit down and have dinner. Yesterday met up with my sec sch buddies ww, yq and jh again.. Met up at sim lim sq cos the "PSP" gang was doing something to their psp and yq wanted to buy a game. After buying.. which was abt 6+pm.. the guys said they were hungry so we went off to get some dinner and since jh wanted to watch fireworks we decided to head down to suntec or marina for makan. Somehow we managed to walk the wrong direction and by the time we reached suntec the whole place was packed to the brim with people.. every restaurant... fastfood outlet and foodcourt is.. super super packed. Never seen so many ppl there before. It's really crazy.. We walked from suntec to marina and back to suntec and by the time it's nearing 9pm and the guys were getting a lil' pissed off so we decided to just get out of marina and head down to orchard. It's fine.. only that when we got on the bus in front of suntec the traffic was so bad the driver told everyone to get down after like 20mins and we're guess we are at? MARINA! How fantastically ridiculous huh? So last resort.. we walked down to city hall mrt and there's tonnes of ppl rushing our opp direction trying to get to watch fireworks while we're trying to get out of this mess to fill our empty stomachs.. Finally we ended up at Cafe Cartel and by the time we finished our dinner it's already 10pm and we sat there till near 11pm before leaving cos the fireworks crowd was still clearing.. after so long. Now you know how bloody crowded it is...

Had a hilarious incident at the raffles city toilet before we headed home..
the exit of the toilet has two doors, one to go out and the other's the janitor room.. one of my friends is done so he headed out first.. then he started tugging at the janitor room door.. and it won't open.. and he didn't realise it until this guy walked past, opened the correct door, gave my friend a "what-an-idiot" look and walked out.. HAHA his face turned as red as his shirt! I better not name any names but it really made up for all the shit we had to go through today.. fantastic comic relief.. the only regret was we didn't capture it on video.. haha

After that went to take 197 home.. and guess what? No prizes for guessing it's packed fully to the brim.. which was fine.. but the air con broke down and there's a traffic jam.. woot.. what a night.. I dropped off after two stops and went across the road to chinatown to take a train down to orchard to hitch a ride from my parents.. and finally got home.. what a night..

Booking in today again.. 3 more weeks and 2 days to POP! It's time.... >:)

2006-08-09T15:39:00.000+08:00

Been some time since I updated.. Wanted to post the week before but it's so rush.. Weekend's so short. The weekend before last I celebrated my 21st birthday in advance with my family and friends at my place. Ordered this thai buffet which was really great. Enjoyed myself that day.. glad to see my family members and caught up with my friends.. here's some photos!

My best buds from sec sch.. what would I do without them? haha..

My poly friends made it too.. really glad.. ;)

My cousins.. glad most of them are here.. hah

Will post more pics on the weekend.. a stupid outage is gonna happen in 5mins..

Went for my field camp after that.. spent 7 days outfield in the jungle.. it sucked.. but it's over.. haha.. spent my 21st birthday in the jungle too.. memorable.... good thing I didn't get sabotaged.. haha.

Didn't get to bookout last weekend cos we only returned from field camp on sunday.. really appreciate my bunk bed after I came back.. Booked out yesterday and went swimming.. miss swimming.. my coach mr.chong almost can't recognise me.. Haha. I don't think I've changed much. I didn't lose much weight either.. but everyone says I have.. oh well. Went to Marina to watch Tokyo Drift afterwards.. really fantastic.. Went to chill at Boat Quay Coffee Bean after that before heading home..

5mins' up! Check back again!

2006-07-23T00:42:00.000+08:00

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Really beautiful song.. a song from the movie "The Wedding Singer"... hai.. really sweet..

2006-07-23T00:27:00.000+08:00

Hey all.. weekends are such a rush! Didn't have time to post last week.. man bmt phase sure pass very quickly.. especially this week.. seemed to just flashed past.. which is good of cos.. 6 more weeks to go! Spent last weekend with my family.. which was good.. Went out with jiahao and junhao just now. Headed down to bugis.. haven't been there for a long time and bugis street changed quite a bit. Junhao got a Baby-G from the Casio outlet.. looks good.. but really small.. G-shock for me!

Anyway.. had IMT lesson whole of yesterday.. basically it's like a simulation of live range.. just that it's in an air-con room with computer screens and "fake guns". Passed it without any problems.. though live range will be much diff.

Alright think i'm gonna go sleep.. cheers and out!

2006-07-09T16:01:00.000+08:00

2006-07-03T19:17:00.000+08:00

Another long weekend pass by so quickly.. Booked out on saturday morning.. gonna book in in awhile. Actually didn't do much this weekend.. had actually recovered from my cough and flu but woke up yesterday morning feeling worst than ever.. My throat feels like a thousand needles stickin' in it and the coughing is bad.. Hope it clears soon.... Went out today to buy some stuff to bring back to camp and also met up with jh and ww. Caught a movie before rushing home.. Mum wants to celebrate my 21st birthday coming weekend.. like abt a month in advance.. just with the relatives.. Maybe it's not a bad idea.. we'll see..

Alright time to run.. time time.. so little time!

2006-06-26T13:49:00.000+08:00

Damn it sucks to be sick. Feel like in the dumps. Decided to use the MC and stay at home and try to recover as much as possible than to go in and get coughed in the face and everywhere else by ppl who don't cover their mouths when they cough... Booking in in a few hours.. Wonder the next book out will be on a friday or saturday.. oh wells.. 11 more weeks to go..

2006-06-25T00:50:00.000+08:00

What a weird dream I had last night.. like right out of a action movie straight to a melodrama. Must be thinking too much.. Was running a fever last night so this morning went to clementi polyclinic to see the doc. Saw a very coincidental and funny thing. Person actually. The tour guide that took us on the reflection trail yesterday had just came out of the consultation room. Must have caught the "tekong flu" as well. Think he saw me when he walked past. Must be cursing and swearing.. hahah...
Waited for about an hour before my turn came and another 20 mins to get my medicine.. Got a 2 day MC but don't know whether to use it or not.. see if I get better.. Had to pay for the medicine.. thought it's free for NSF at polyclinics.. gotta clarify with the sergeant when I get back.. Spent the rest of the day resting at home. Wish I could be out but this stupid illness really suck. Hope I recover asap..

Alright off to bed.. ciao!

2006-06-24T00:58:00.000+08:00

Hey all.. I'm back again.. First official book out today! Everyone's very happy.. but next week on the pressure's gonna mount cos the 2 honeymoon confinement weeks are over.. Booked out around 1+pm today and went on this reflection trail.. went to the newater plant, changi chapel etc etc.. Some sort of national educational tour for us. Went home and bathe after that and went straight to town to meet the bros cos many won't be free on saturday.. I think it's a natural thing.. when guys serving NS or finished serving will keep talking abt their experiences non-stop. Anyway.. funny but we didn't do much.. walked aimlessly looking for a place to have dinner and ended up at cineleisure's long john's silver.. chit and chat, here and there and everyone wants to go home.. but it's great to be back to civilian life.. after being in that darn place.. even if only for a weekend.

Think the "tekong flu" is spreading around already.. so many ppl falling sick.. including me. Got hit by fever, flu and everything else that comes with it.. You get the picture. Feel like shit.. I'd rather not be missing out on training..

Alright gonna go hit the sack.. so sleepy after taking medication..

2006-06-16T22:12:00.000+08:00

Hey all.. back again. Today was my graduation at NP. Finally got my diploma after 3 yrs. Felt just like yesterday I just stepped into ngee ann poly. Had so much fun there. Still remember my first day there.. Booked out early today morning and went home and sleep. So so tired.. Went to school.. my mum and brother attended the ceremony as well. It's really funny.. 3 yrs in poly and it's only a few secs on stage to receive the diploma. Caught up with many poly friends and took many pictures. Will post them on my next bookout.. which will be next friday! 7 days to bookout! Seems like so long away.. After coming back home, took a bath and went to sleep again. Had my grandma's home-cooked dinner.. taste so good.. miss her cooking.. Tekong's food is horrible.. Folded the smart-4.. hate folding it.. haha.

Alright.. that's all.. gonna enjoy my bed tonight. TOtally can't sleep there.. and that fella sleeping beside me snores so bloody loud every night I had to use my ear plugs for range last night.. plus the constant tripping of electricity on my platoon floor.. the bloody bunk is so hot and humid. Army life....

Cheers and out

2006-06-12T22:12:00.000+08:00

Military life... no freedom.. haha. Man didn't expect to book out so soon. Supposedly still in my confinement period but booked out tonight cos I got this air force computerised test tmr morning. Hopefully I do well. Feel so tired now.. Nearly missed the fastcraft back to mainland just now.. ran all the way to the jetty my no.4 is all soaked at the back..

2006-06-09T00:45:00.000+08:00

Man oh man.. last night as a civilian. Will be enlisting to tekong tmr afternoon. After so many yrs of "going to be ur turn soon!" by the aunties.. it's finally here.. less than 24hrs away. It's crazy.. it feels crazy.. I'm going crazy. My CI course buddy told me BMT is better than NPCC training.. haha i find that hard to believe. Almost got everything. Heard everything. Now it's time I experienced it myself. Really worried my old injury will come back. I pray not. Packing now.. haven't been able to sleep properly the past few days.. think won't be able to sleep tonight as well. Spent most of today at home... felt different today. Had dinner with my cousin Jiahui at night and Holland V and she was really nice to treat me to dinner at Coffee Club. Before that we went to clementi where I bought some stuff last min for tmr. Went to gio too.. to look for her.. pass her something. Think she knocked off already.. passed it to her in charge.

Well.. NS.. new phase of my life. and something every guy in sg have to go thru. I will survive! Won't be posting as often now. Do visit and check in 2 weeks later!

Ciao for now.

To my sibs.. if you're reading this.. take care of yourself yea.. don't let pa and ma worry about you! HY study hard! Zhen.. work hard aight.. ;) Anything sms me anytime.. Will reply whenever possible =D

2006-06-08T14:57:00.000+08:00

Yesterday met up with Jack and Daniel for lunch at this Xin Wang hong kong cafe at marina square. The food's pretty filling and it's not bad too.

Jack, don't mind I use ur pics eh.. ate the same stuff anyway =P
They had this "4 heavenly kings" on their menus.. and we ordered two of them.. one was this cheese pork spaghetti which was darn filling and the other was this huge mango ice tower with a scoope of ice-cream on top. Man it's freezing.

Went to catch Cars after that. It was such a beautiful picture. The graphics.. and every lil' detail is fantastic. Prob one of Pixar's finest. The movie itself was great too.. very funny too. Car lovers will definitely have a blast.

Shopped around with the guys cos our graduation is next week and Jack wanna get a tie and pants and Daniel wanted a blazer. I decided to wear mu uniform to the graduation.. save some money too. Haha.

Headed down to town after that to have dinner with my family.. sorta a last family dinner before I enlist and also for my mother's birthday.

After the dinner met up with the guys again and headed down to Holland V for drinks at Eskibar. Joined by Waikee, and he was only in shorts and slippers. We forced him into the cold room and he couldn't take 30secs. Had a blast.. Wonder when we can meet up again after graduation with everyone going their separate ways.

2006-06-05T00:57:00.000+08:00

Man what a day. It's the last weekend as a civilian before enlisting for NS. Spent the whole day out with the bros, jiahao, wenwen, yingqin and junhao. Too bad billy couldn't join us as he has night duty tonight. Good thing my dad let me drive the van today. Met the guys at our usual meeting place at clementi before going to Beach rd army market to buy some stuff to bring in. Headed down to the suntec area and had planned to park the van at shaw towers but it was full. It was than that I realised today was the last day of the PC show at suntec. Goodness the traffic was so heavy and every parking lot in the area was full. These are the times you wished you didn't drive. Had no choice but to drive down to my dad's shop opp Boat Quay to park the car behind at the building's carpark. Who knows... this bloody god damned mercedes belonging to some stupid MLM company parked the car right in the centre in front of the chained up lot, leaving a small space at the back. I had such a bloody tough time trying to squeeze into the lot. Some ppl are so god damned inconsiderate.

After that we went to funan for drinks before heading to city hall. The human traffic was as bad as traffic on the roads man. The whole place was packed. Packed with ppl going to the PC show, packed with ppl leaving the PC show. It was almost chaotic, especially at the end of citylink mall going up the bridge to suntec. Ppl can hardly move. We quickly diverted and went to Marina Square instead. Went to suntec via marina square, which was less crowded, and checked out a branded factory outlet sale before going up to the PC show. Man it's crazy up there. Felt like everyone in Singapore is packed in that exhibition hall in one afternoon. It's nuts. Got a screen protector for my cam before heading out. Went back to marina square to wait for jiahao, who had went to a Redcross meeting, before heading for dinner at pizza hut to celebrate Junhao's 21st birthday and also a "farewell" dinner for wenwen and me. Treated junhao and after that he wanted to treat us to swensen's so I suggested heading down to crown prince hotel swensen's. Went over to esplande rooftop terrace 1st to take pics before walking back to my dad's shop to pick up the van. Here's a pic we had much difficulty taking cos I left my big tripod in the van.

Not bad I'd reckon.. haha. Though I kinda like this next pic.. taken near the asian civilization museum at empress place...

Took a few more pics along the way before heading to the van. Saw the aftermath of an accident along the way to town where this taxi collided with a car and there was a police car and an ambulance had just arrived on the scene. Couldn't see anything, hopefully no one was hurt.

Junhao treated us to an Earthquake at swensen's, which was 8 scoops of ice-cream goodness which we devoured really quickly..

Hang out for a while around my parents' stall outside crown prince hotel for awhile and wenwen got a pair of Levi's shoes. Man it's one pricy pair. Drove the guys home after that. What a long day.. though I hope it'd been longer. Everyday is a day towards enlistment. Wonder how I'll take it. Hope it's good. Been a fun day though.. most fun we had for a long long time.

2006-06-04T00:38:00.000+08:00

About my previous post.. when I said 9 years I meant including my years as a cadet.. which was the most fun we all had compared to my years as CI.. haha.

Oh here's a pic with the bros at Escape theme park last sunday..

so who's the better looking one? haha aight aight..

Anyway.. anyone heard of the band Lifehouse? Man they are amazing. Their songs are fantastic.. here's one particular song called "Blind". Love it so much man.. check out the lyrics..

Enjoy..

P.S. England rules man.. 6-0 raggae boys

2006-06-03T00:28:00.000+08:00

Today was the last time going back to CTSS as a CI. After close to 9 yrs it's finally done. And a good thing it's not a big hoo-haa cos the spot-light are on the bunch of sec4 cadets passing out. Good time for me to bow out too cos I'm beginning to feel pretty lonely at trainings now with all my buddies finished their terms long ago. Funny thing.. I'd usually feel down everytime I leave some place where I've been for a long time.. you know the feelin'.. but today I felt really passive, which is good I guess. Maybe just tired of it too. Sometimes I wonder where was the drive I had few years back, I wouldn't be doing a very good job now teaching cadets. Times are different, kids nowadays are different too. I always look on with amazement that cadets are treating those CIs like their buddies.. when last time we don't even talk to our CIs.. mainly cos we're afraid of them too. Haha.. I think the cadets don't really like me too.. maybe I'm more old-school than the other CIs... Well anyway that's that.. though I did promise the OC I'll visit when I'm free.

Here's a pic.. of CIs past, present and future. Pretty convenient huh? Just take a guess who's who aight. Just realised it's the first picture I posted with me in it.
Hah sometimes I'd rather be behind the camera.. well most of the time.

Well nothing more to say.. Ciao

Think I did mention one can't really see a lot of stars from where I live.. Well went star-gazing tonight again. Well not really.. went jogging, then cycling after that and by the time it was dark so cycled to the park before going home. Counted counted.. counted 21 stars tonight. That's quite a lot.. wondered if those aunties at the park thought I was crazy or what.. really peaceful night though.

Watched "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" today.. really great movie. Lee Young-Ae was simply amazing. One of the best korean movies I've ever watched. Pretty long story so anyone who wanna find out more can take a look at www.imdb.com or the official site www.geum-ja.co.kr ... thought it's all in korean.

Another movie I watched few days back was "Jarhead". I'm sure most of you have heard of it. Set in the first Gulf War, it talked about how the soldiers survive the desert with nothing to do. Yup not a very good description but well what's a search engine for? Wouldn't recommend this movie to these following people though...

1.Anyone who's not in the highest of spirits
2.Anyone who doesn't want to hear "Fuck" in every sentence of the movie
3.Any guys who has a gf and is enlisting for NS soon.
4.Anyone thinking of signing on with the SAF
and
5.Anyone lookin' for an action movie cos this ain't it!

That said.. it's not bad a movie. Maybe you should check out the novel. Welcome to the Suck.

On Sunday PSA had a family day held at the escape theme park and my poly friend Erik, who is working at the PSA, got 5 tickets and we(jason, jack, dickhead and me) went along. But... of all the days of the week it had to rain for half a day that sunday. How fantastic.. After waiting for the rain to stop it was already 3+pm and the staff had to do test runs on the rides and dry the seats, plus the super long queues for the rides.. I only managed to get on 3 rides. 1st ride was this rotating ride called rainbow.. not that bad.. not not really exciting. 2nd ride was the go-kart.. was pretty surprised by the speed of these go-karts.. thought it's gonna be slow.. and of the 3 laps we ran mr.dickhead spun TWICE! Not gonna name him to avoid further embarrassment. Last one was this ride called revolution. Prob the best of the 3.. at least there was some "kick".. Only Erik and I got on the ride though.. the rest was afraid of puking.. too bad then. Wanted to go on more rides but the two 'J's and dickhead wanted to go so we went home...

Today.. went to watch X-men: The Last Stand with my cousin jh. Amazing finale to the trilogy.. really action-packed movie though I must say it really didn't stay loyal to the actual X-men comics.....

After that was gonna go find something to eat when we bump into da yi(1st aunt in chi). She just did her gym and was gonna have dinner so she treated us to dinner at swensen's. Really paiseh but she insisted. We ordered something cheap and she kept asking us to order more. Guess she was in a good mood and really glad she had us for company for dinner... haha. Went home after that.. good thing jh drove.. cos I dread taking the train back.

In fact, I hate taking trains. If I have a choice, which I usually do, I'd take the bus. Was running late for the movie today and thought I'd just take the train. It's just the same or slower.. and the minutes seem to countdown forever. Another thing.. I really hate crowds.. and there's plenty today.. especially on the train. It's a monday man.. don't these ppl have to work? Only later was I reminded it's the school holidays.. right that figures.. no wonder there's so many kids running about. Anyway enough ranting.. Ciao

Was anyone out in the open last night? If you were.. and lookin' up the sky.. you'd see a sky full of stars. From where I live, I'd be lucky to see 2 stars on any given day but last night the whole sky was so full of stars it's amazing.. really beautiful. Sometimes, just doing nothing but gazing at the stars or clouds.. is peaceful yet at the same time might remind you of a certain someone in your life, perhaps someone who you used to star-gaze with or promised to and is not in your life anymore? Who knows.............

Well anyway met up with the bros for dinner last night. Went to gluttons bay beside the esplanade. Really disappointed at the range of food they have there... nothing much to eat, and the prices are ridiculous. Another place to "chop" tourists..... Walked around the area after that before hanging by esplande taking pics. Good thing I brought the mini tripod.. the pics turned out pretty well. Will post them after I put a sig on it..

Woke up early this mornin' for CTNP's bowling competition held at West Bowl.. Entered for fun even though we're the hosts. Maybe it's a good thing we didn't win though cos it prob won't be nice. (Plus I bowled terribly today.. haha) Man I'm starving.. waiting for my cousin to come so we can go have some dinner! Ciao!

2006-05-27T01:16:00.000+08:00

Few nights ago watched this korean movie on vcd called "Welcome to Dongmakgol". Set during the Korean war in 1950, it talks about this village called dongmakgol totally unaffected by the war until one day an american fighter crashed near the village and at the same time a couple of south korean soldiers who lost their troops and a bunch of north korean soldiers losing their way and ending up at the village together. Tension ensues but slowly the soldiers got harmonized and worked together to help the villagers restore their food supply when they accidentally blew up their storage hut.

However all good things have to end when the shadow of war finally creeps into the village. A very beautiful film.. and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Do catch it if you have the chance..

Didn't take any pics of the thai-chi place but here's the dim sum place..

2006-05-24T22:03:00.000+08:00

Hey all.. I'm back! Well actually I was back on saturday night.. Plane touched down at 2130.. and I only reached home sweet home at midnight.. why?? Cos the bloody battery on the van died while we were in China.. After trying in vain to jump-start the van we decided to leave it there and take a cab home. At what cost??? I had to wake up bloody early the next morning to go fetch a mechanic with my dad to go get the battery changed. I drove the car home while my dad took the van. Man I slept the whole afternoon...

To those who have asked me how's my trip, I know all I've said was "It's okay.", maybe here's a better description of the trip..

Well actually for the five days I was at Guangzhou, it has been pretty routine stuff. The first two days we kept switching hotel rooms it was crazy. We stayed at the the Hotel Landmark Canton which was a 5-star hotel of local standards. The original plan was to stay a night there in a room and go to a lower star though cheaper for the rest of the trip where we'll take two rooms. But when we got there the first day they didn't have the room we booked and wanted to give us a room on the Smoking-floor. Of cos we didn't want it and after more checking and waiting they recommended the suites, which was just RMB100 odd more than if we took 2 rooms at the cheaper hotel so we took the suite. Now when we got to the suite my mother complained abt the bathroom being too cramped and there's no place to put the toiletries blah blah so we changed to the 2nd room. Fine. Problem now? The air-con was pathetic. Now my mum AND dad are complaining. The next day my mum made my dad go get the room changed and we were about to when the duty manager told us that room's toilet ain't workin'. Finally we moved to a room with ample space for my mum and bloody strong air-con that got me shivering everytime I don't have my jacket on. Frankly I'm not fussy and all the changing's making us pretty well-known with the duty managers. About the duty managers.. seems like there's always one on duty at every suite floors and they are always very polite and friendly. We stayed on the 35th floor and the lift shoots up so fast you could feel the pressure building in ur ears. Oh fantastic view out the window btw ;)

Alright enough of the hotel.. this trip's a business trip.. and that's what we did. For the days we were there every morning we'd have breakfast at the hotel's club house(taste great might I add) and we'll set off to various wholesale places around Guangzhou to buy goods. The 1st two days we arrived there was an impending tyhoon called "Typhoon Pearl". We saw in the news that it was the biggest one to hit china in a long time but was mighty relieved that it's not gonna hit Guangzhou. Though the 1st two days as it was coming the winds were very strong and the temperature was really cool. Man really enjoyed the weather for the two days. By the 3rd day the tyhoon had went past Guangzhou and the sun came out. Was pretty much like Singapore.. just that you prob won't sweat cos the humidity level was much lower here, even though it's hot.

By evening all the wholesale shops would have closed and after going back to the hotel to put the goods we'd head out for dinner and shopping. The food here is really good, and cheap. Fantastic man.. we can order a whole table-full of food and you won't pay more than S$50. And for 3 persons that's quite a lot of food. Had seafood the 1st night, some thai-chi food on the 2nd night, auth chi food with dim sum on the 3rd and western with pasta on the last night.. Will post the pics cos words mean nth when it comes to food!

After dinner we'd go do some shopping and there's two places that we went.. one's called Beijing St. and the other one's called Shang Xia Jiu I think.. both are pretty simliar though Shang Xia Jiu has many many shops and streets. These two places are not shopping centres.. more like shopping streets. And it's really happening.. a lot of people and the whole place is lit with neon lights. There're mostly clothes stores actually and the brands of clothes here and so many you can't count with both hands. There's the usual Giordano, Baleno etc etc and many many clothing brands in the same style as giordano and stuff and they have so many funny names for it. Well the best thing prob is that all the clothes are much cheaper than in Singapore... Bought lots of clothes and watches. My parents bought some footwear for RMB18.. that's like S$3.20 man! crazy i tell you.. and the funny thing is after that I went to get a cup of ice coffee mixed with brandy and it's also RMB18.. ha...

And the people there, especially the ladies, are really friendly. I don't remember the service being so good in China but well.. they're moving forward and really.. the service is so much better than in Singapore. How many times do you get served by sales person or waitresses who more often than not have a blank expression on their faces? The sales ppl there are all very friendly and always have this mega-watt smile and always more than willing to take the extra step to help us. Well anyway that's what I've encountered. My siblings who went the previous trip said they had a horrid time with the ppl there so I guess it's who you meet....

All in all.. this trip's been a good escape.. to take some time off all the shit back home. Just at moments I wished my siblings were there.. haha. That'll be much more fun.
Will post the pics tmr.. till then.. OUT.

2006-05-18T11:26:00.000+08:00

Hi all.. am in Guangzhou, China now.. Fantastic how internet connects the world huh? Chilling at the hotel's clubhouse on the 33rd floor now. The view out the window is fantastic.. China's really coming forward very fast. Gone are teh dirty toilets, litter-filled streets and what-nots. People here dresses pretty trendily and the floors are relatively clean.... The food is great.. and really cheap.. and the staff here(hotel and shops) are very friendly.

Really relaxing now.. The whole clubhouse is empty except me and the beegee's music is pretty soothing. Today's weather seems pretty sunny and clear.. compared to the last two days, when it was overcast and rainy, but the wind was really strong.. and very shiok too ;) Seems the tyhoon's gonna miss Guangzhou and go into the Guangdong province, hence those winds and rain the past two days were from the passing typhoon. Pity abt the winds though.. seems like today's gonna be a hot day.. and the wind blowing while walking on the streets felt like air-con. Ya know what I mean....

Alright I guess that's all for now.. Will be back in Singapore in a few days.. so ciao for now..

2006-05-15T22:43:00.000+08:00

Why do we dream? Why do we dream of certain things of people? Cause we long for them? Or is it the opposite - trying hard to forget about it but back in your mind it's still there. A good friend told me, we dream, especially of things beyond our reach, because we think of all the could-have-beens and all the what-ifs and that it sucks to know what could have been might never be.. I guess it's pretty true.. from some aspects. And sometimes, depending on how you feel about it, you'll prob wake up feelin' like shit after you wake up.

Humans.. prob the weirdest creatures on earth. We listen to sad songs when we're sad, we prob are so complicated that no one knows what's in the mind...

Anyway.. I will be leaving for china tmr morning. Haven't even started packing yet.. Seems like everytime I leave the country I leave with a heavy heart. Maybe it's a coincidence. Well.. my parents are going there to import goods in for their business and I'm just tagging along and helping out. Taking it as a holiday too before enlisting for NS. Maybe it'll be good to get away from everything here. I know it's like a temporary escape. Everyone wants clousure, that's how people move on. But some people would prefer to run away, and it's hard to take for the other party. Hope this trip would be good, even though my mother just told me we might encounter typhoon over there. Wish me luck then..

I'd better start packing or I won't get any sleep tonight.... See y'all when I get back.. Ciao

2006-05-15T20:01:00.000+08:00

This clip is really hilarious.. a card game between Choi Ji-Woo and Takuya Kimura.. and they both speak really good english too..

enjoy!

2006-05-14T01:15:00.000+08:00

Kids are really cute. Yesterday I was cycling till I reached an overhead bridge(for those who're hiding in their caves for the past half a yr, cycling across a bridge means a $1000 fine now). I got down and pushed the bike up and just then a lil' boy, probably round 4 yrs old came running down. The moment he saw me he shouted, "CANNOT RIDE BICYCLE! CANNOT RIDE BICYCLE!". And I replied, "I'm not riding! I'm pushing it!". Haha.. kids..

Had a long day today. Met up with the bros Wenwen, Jiahao and Billy today. Too bad Yingqin and Junhao can't meet us today.. since Jiahao was driving. Well doubt we can all squeeze into his crusty old car. Really really "well maintained" car man.. we can't complain though.. since he's driving us around. One heck of a safe driver, going 10km/h below the speed limit on the expressway.. haha. Went bowling again today.. at the Chevron's this time. Man my form always dip when I play there. Wonder why... Went to JEC after that to get presents for Stephanie and Weijie's 21st birthday party. Got her an Escada perfume and a model helicopter for him. Gonna go broke soon! And.. I saw Justin Ang and Vernon.A there too(for those of you who don't listen to 987fm, these two guys are the funniest DJs pairing ever - every weekday 6am to 10am). They were doing some roadshow.. really funny duo.. fantastic..

Drove down to Bugis after that where we took in the sights and had some makan before going down to the party at west coast park. This is like the 4th 21st birthday party in 2 months and it's the same group of girls and only 2 guys(Wenwen & me). It was pretty crazy but it was fun. Tonight was really cooling and the air was really.. moist. Our bags were like damp and our hair was wet too.. even though it wasn't raining.

Anyway, didn't think we'd stay till late but we did.. left around 12am. Had fun chatting with the girls.. wonder when we'll meet up again.

Here are a couple of pics from West Coast Park...

That's all tonight.. will post more pics later.. ciao and out..

2006-05-11T23:25:00.000+08:00

Sometimes.. it would be nice to be a 3 yr old again. Without a care of the world. Without the headaches, the stress, the confusion, worries etc etc that people face.. The only worry perhaps was when you're gonna get fed. Sometimes.. it would be nice to be a kid again. Things are so much simpler.

My childhood was a happy one I'd say. Grew up in this lovely house with 3 families and my grandma under the roof, my 1st uncle, 3rd, and my family. Was really close with my 1st uncle's cousins, especially CL(you know who you are..).. maybe cos we're the same age. It's really funny, my friends all have the same surprised reaction when they found out I was really close with my cousins. Most of them hardly talk to their cousins. Was talking to CL just now, talked a lil' about our childhood, and all the mischieves we were up to.. like wearing my mother's clip-on earrings and messing up her cosmetics. Thinking back, adulthood seemed an eternity, and now for us it's just a few months away. Well we still remained close after 1st uncle moved out of the house. Since the house's been demolished nothing's been the same.. The family just seemed so diverse.. kinda sad really.

Well, at least it was good while it lasted. People always say, "Never mourn what you've lost, but be glad that it happened.". Know I'm contradicting myself but sometimes I just find it difficult to see how you can not be sad to lose something dear to you or to forget.

Alright.... Leave the sad things behind. Here are some pics again...

Alright.. enjoy.. ciao

2006-05-10T23:18:00.000+08:00

Today today today..... today did some cycling. Cycled over to Jack's house in Jurong to do some Fifa 06 editing and play some fifa matches.. which he duely lost.. hahaha. Alright.. Jason came over too. Went for some small makan at a kopitiam at central before rushing home. Supposed to meet my cousin Jiahui for cycling(more cycling) and dinner. Was really late cos the guys wanna makan. We rode down to Holland V. for dinner at breeko and rode back. The night breeze was fantastic and really calming.

Sometimes.. when your mind is so full of thoughts and unhappiness.. a nice slow ride or stroll at night by a stream will do wonders..

Nothing else to blog abt..

Cheers..

2006-05-10T00:03:00.000+08:00

What a boring boring day.. spent the half of the day idling around. Went swimming in the evening. Love swimming.. I always thought life would be different if I can't swim. Wonder how often I can swim after I enlist.. Today's weather wasn't really good and the pool was pretty empty.. which was great cos I really hate to dodge people in the pool. And it was raining as I swam. Always liked to swim in the rain.. and the view from underwater when you look up.

Anyway.. really had nothing to do.. so did this.. thought it was pretty accurate except for the friends part..

How You Life Your Life

You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness.
You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly.
Some of your past dreams have disappointed you, but you don't let it get you down.

How Do You Live Your Life?

and this too(now you see how bored I am)...
This one is pretty accurate though I guess...

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Now for some pics.. this is the adidas top I mentioned.. did it with my band of brothers from CT..

And these pics I took when I went cycling..

and this at the esplanade roof top terrace..

kinda blurry without a tripod.. but I just bought one so will prob be out photo-taking again.. look out for more! Comments will be great..

Cheers and OUT.

Sometimes.. there seems to be so many troubles.. to the point of being suffocating.. and probably a way to relief it slightly is to talk about it.. whether to a close confidante or whoever.. yet when you have someone there to talk to.. you'll just feel stuck. I don't know.. like a mental gag in your mouth.. wonder if anyone knows what I mean. And there are also times.. you'll miss someone so so much, yet.. you don't know how to go talk to person. Isn't the feeling horrible? People say, "Don't waste time on someone who won't waste time on you.". Perhaps it's true.. perhaps not.. but truth be told, as cliche as it may sound, forgeting someone is definitely much much harder than knowing him or her. Or perhaps I'm a tad too sentimental. I don't know.....

Anyway, went out with Jack, Jason, Ziyang and Waikee today to catch MI:III at The Cathay. Told Jason the night before that I won't be joining them for lunch and when I got there, Jack and Ziyang seem to be in a bad mood. The air seemed pretty tense.. even though I just sat down. Turned out Ziyang had some.. er-hmm.. problems, and Jack was pissed cos everyone was late, among other stuff.. Guess the day was set off on the wrong foot and kinda affected the mood among us at the beginning. The movie was great though.. real exciting. Action fans shouldn't give it a miss.

Anyway, I digress, went bowling at Marina Sq. after that and I won all 3 games.. even though I played pretty badly.. scoring a 109, 127 & 114. And Jason should have won the last game had he not "purposely" missed the last shot, or so he claims, cos he heard winner has to buy a round of drinks for the guys. Too bad he didn't whack it, cos it was loser treat.

Had dinner at the Marina food loft.. where I took this pic.....

among others.. this kinda turned out the best lookin' one.

By this time I think Jack was really pissed with Ziyang cos we all wanna come out and have fun and Ziyang is appearing so sullen, and we all wanna help him yet he doesn't say anything. Finally he let it out and we all went to spot at Marina promenade where we helped him out.. girl problems as usual.. and also talked about many other things, from relationships to NS to our poly life. I think we all missed the times we had in poly. Was really fun.. seemed like we had more fun than studying but well, we all gotta move on. I guess many thoughts went through my head today as well..

Just wanna sign off today by saying, problems are there to be solved. Good friends are hard to come by and never never, ever take things for granted, be it your family, friends, partners.. Cos we can never predict the future.

Man... my phone's camera really suck. Here are some pics of the model car in full 6-megapix glory....

Hmm.. went to CMPB today to extend my passport, hated that place.. and still hate that place. After that went to my parents' shop before having lunch with my mum. Haven't had lunch with her for a long time so it's nice.. went to this Pizza Hut at Amoy St, which was totally deserted.. maybe cos lunch time is over.. maybe that place is just that quiet. It's like we booked the whole restaurant.

Went back to the shop before heading off to Funan. Mission: search for the Daisy Official soundtrack. After a fruitless search for the soundtrack of Windstruck in 2004, I imagine myself shop-hopping looking for the CD(I managed to find the Windstruck O.S.T. in Korea btw). Walked into the Sembawang music centre and the friendly staff came to my service.. After telling him what I want.. he said there ain't no Daisy O.S.T. there.. till I mentioned it's a korean movie, he went to look for some CDs and pluck a few new korean movie O.S.T.s out and the Daisy O.S.T. was right there man. Bought it straightaway.. feels like striking gold on the 1st hit.. haha

and the soundtrack sounds really beautiful.. just like the film.. fantastic..

After that got a Nederlands cap from the Joga Bonito Shop outside Raffles City and a wedding anniversary card inside before heading back to the shop..

Took this pic.. I'd like to call it "Old & New". Go figure.. ;)

Have a nice weekend and OUT.

2006-05-04T23:53:00.000+08:00

While out on tuesday for Jack's birthday, I bought a car model kit. Been wanting to get one for some time, just that haven't seen something I like. Finally saw one, a Subaru Impreza WRX STi World Rally Championship Spec model. Needed something to pass the time too.. so spent the whole of today doing it. Man I picked the wrong spot to do the kit.. on my living room's coffee table.. got a bad headache mid-way through doing that's still bloody making me giddy now. Anyway.. haven't done model kits for a long long time, and lookin' back, I'd probably have thrown it aside mid-way through when I was younger. Those small decals really gave lots of headaches..

Some ppl might think doing this is a waste of time.. time-consuming.. Why not get a Die-cast ready-made? For WHAT??! To these ppl.. you'll feel no sense of achievement man.. After the last piece of decal was pasted on, it felt really great.

In between doing the model car, drove my mum and sis to her sch at SIM for some parents orientation thing and back. Encountered a bloody absurd incident on the roads. Sometimes I feel it really doesn't pay to be courteous, while down clementi rd towards SIM, I was at a red light on the 2nd lane. There were 2 cars in front of me and in between them was a WHITE TOYOTA ESTIMA signalling right and it's like between the 3rd and 2nd lane. Thinking it wants to cut out to the 2nd lane and go straight, and the car in front of me is not giving way, I waited for the car to move when the light turned green. What did he do? He wanted to cut from the 3rd lane to the 1st lane, and he stopped right in the middle of the 2nd lane in front of me. How ridiculous can some ppl be? Idiot.. and what did I get? Horned by cars at the back. I high-beamed and horned him before he decided to inch into the 1st lane.

Well.. since we're on the topic of driving, I really don't understand some local drivers. WHAT'S YOUR BLOODY SIGNALS FOR IF YOU DON'T USE THEM?????!!!!!! Seriously.. what's so tough about flicking your bloody signal? I'd gladly high-beam or give you a nice 5-sec horn you damn idiots.

That said, I'd like you guys know I'm still a very courteous and patient driver... most of the time. >;)

Cheers and OUT.

Life is so mundane! Where's some excitement when you need it? Alright yesterday wasn't that bad. My poly buddy Jack's birthday is today and cos he got some programme lined up today he gave us poly buddies(Xinghe, Waikee, Ziyang & me) a treat at Baccarat Resturant at Plaza by the Park. Pretty nice place.. liked the ambience. The international buffet spread was good, from jap to chinese and the deserts.. man.. great.

After that we walked down to Marina Sq, might as well.. cos everyone so so damn bloated. I swear that one meal lasted us the whole day. Walked around for a while before heading to the cinema to check if Daisy was showing. Too bad it wasn't showing and there really ain't anything worth watching so we decided to go bowling. Think it's the 1st time the guys are bowling with me.. bowled a terrible 1st game.. managing only a 88 but was totally on fire the 2nd game. Hitting a turkey was sweet.. haven't hit one in some time.. got a 165 in the end. At the lane beside us.. there was this malay couple.. and the guy has a fantastic walk-up and throw.. but that's all.. cos all his balls went into the GUTTER. Sad.. well we were attracting quite a lot of attention at the ally cos everytime we strike or spare we're cheering loudly and Mr.Jack is doing his Mourinho poses. Really fun..

After that we headed to Suntec before ending in Bugis where we finally got to watch Daisy. Fantastic movie.. loved the cinematography, and Jun Ji-hyun of cos.. =D

Alright think I'm getting long-winded. Today basically woke up, had brunch and headed to Jack's house to get some stuff from him and played a few rounds of Fifa 06 before heading to queensway to get the Adidas jerseys( more on that next time ) printed and headed home. Cheers

Hi to whoever is reading this.. my first post. Decided to finally get a blog.. with so much pent-up frustrations, blogging could be a good way to let it out.. so look out for more! OUT.

The Iceman Comeths

Which Peanuts Character Are You?
