Sad life

I just got myself a sportsbike...something that i've always wanted to own all my life. The same model i look at the magazines all these years all these months...when i finally got it..i don't get the support from anyone. Everyone hates it..they thinks that its dangerous. My dream is shattered i'm so hurt. I'm supposed to ride my dream bike gloomy from now on.

I got the bike to enjoy myself..i understand its scary or maybe even uncomfortable being a pillion..thats why i dun expect it to be popular with family, friends or girlfriend. I just want them to understand its something that i want..i promise to be safe with it...just for a year i'll sell it..i promise.

Its just a bike why won't they let me keep it..i understand they're all concerned with my safety which is why is one of the reason why i kept it secret from them for so long..i dun want to make them worry. If its possible to hide it from sam i will..but its not possible. Another reason why i dun want to tell my family is because i don't want to quarrel with them..nothing they do or say will make me sell my bike..riding has become part and parcel of my life..and i know them..they will go out all the way to force me to give up this hobby of mine..knowing my character i know i won't give it...i might even not come home to escape all the nagging and looks...i promise

The eye 10

Sam took me to Tan tock seng A&E to consult the doctor there today..i was warned that i might have to wait damn long for my turn but surprising it didn't really take too long...max 1 hour? Walked around the hospital buying newspaper, food and drink while waiting though..so time passed quickly. The doctor is a young malay girl...obviously didn't look too experienced to me haha. Anyway all i got was one big packet of paracetamol...ridiculous right..all the trouble for panadol..anyway i was told to go back if the fever lasts for a week or so.

After that we went to watch the eye 10 with sam just now..haha i'm sure you must have heard by now that it's a comedy cum horror show. How true that is...the scene about the breakdancing got me laughing like mad...i even teared haha.

There were also scenes which got some mad girls in the theatre screaming like mad...they irritated me...

Sick again!?

For those that has been meeting up with me often over the past few months you would have noticed that i'm always running a fever. This fever comes back like once every month..its torturous..it never fails not to make my head spin and my body hot haha...that was fei hua right. Panadol's effect always only last 4-5 hours and the fever will come back. Only this medicine call Ponstan helps...but my cousin-in-law who is a doctor told me that it shouldn't be taken too often because its a painkiller and its kinda strong. How am i supposed to know right..one doctor i visited gave it to me! I have been relying on it to cure my fever for the past few months...but apparently the effect wears out after a month.

Should be going for a bloodtest later...hope its not anything serious. Soon TCS might recruit me for their doctor dramas..where everyone in the show seems to be sick wahaha.

We watched Miss congeniality 2. Quite a nice show...many scenes were filmed in Las Vegas..make me want to go there again...one of my all time favourite place.



Oh and i didn't mention that i watched Robots last week with Sam. Quite a nice show too..filled with imaginative ideas. Hmmm sorry can't use me as a movie reviewer anymore...lazy to elaborate nowadays haha.

Carrot weekend

Booked out at 2300 on friday because we had an some exercise that day. Just because i'm a regular...i'm given appointment everytime without fail..not that i mind..afterall i get 4 times more money than my mates anyway...so i have to do 4 times more work? Haha. Anyway they made me the exercise ic..not a tough job actually..all i have to do it direct intruct order..don't need to do anything myself haha.

Rented a car this weekend..went to sign my deed at cmpb and then went to ikea to walk for awhile. After that i went to chinatown to get my ah kor a gold necklace as birthday present..learnt a little bit about gold after this shopping trip. After getting the present, i went to pay my bike's installment and went back to sam's place. The rest of the day was spent at sam's place playing mahjong and slacking around. Had no signboard crabs for dinner that night and your jaw might probably drop after i tell you the bill. Sam ordered 4 crabs and each weights around 1kg (1kg of crab cost $30)..after ordering some other small dishes etc...the bill amounted to $128! You will never imagine a hawker place like that charging so much...what a carrot head chopping board! No signboard my foot!

The new com i bought arrived yesterday..spent the night fixing and playing with it. But the com came without the upgrades i added inside my order..will clarify with Dell soon...or else my carrot head will get smaller. Has been waking early so often these weekend..i diligently wake up after around 7 hours of sleep..look how army changed my body haha...

I miss my bed

Had a nice birthday present from my company on my birthday itself. Was at Singapore poly that day and the first thing everyone did was to check their bank account haha. Finally got my regular pay and a nice amount too..won't reveal how much exactly.

Treated my family, puss and cheap to a lousy buffet at furama hotel...don't be mistaken..its not cheap..just that its not nice haha. There's a number of things that i would like to buy..that includes a new computer! Went to the IT fair at suntec and kinda regreted..recce around for 2 days and i couldn't come to a decision to which one to buy. Guess i'll wait a little longer.

My bed is just behind me but i don't have much time to lie on it..gonna leave home at 9pm...miss my bed..didn't see sam the whole weekend too..miss her too..

I love my weekends

It has been a fruitful long weekend for me. I believe i didn't mentioned, i've gotten my posting. I was told to report to Sispec again last monday because i'm without posting..so i'm officially still a sispec person. All i had to do that whole day was find an empty bunk and sleep alone..how boring. But in the late afternoon i was told i've gotten my posting..expectingly..Signals Institute (SI) lah..what else. So i packed my bag and went home.

I reported to SI the next day with all my barang barang and i found out that the other trainees will only report on wednesday. I put my bags in their admin office and sat there for half a day. Fortunately it was half day for all of them that day for dunno what reason and i was released at around 12.30pm..you can imagine my boredom the whole day sitting in the office doing nothing but smsing and reading newspaper *yawn*. Went home and then met Sam after that. We watched Constantine..ok i know..you've all watched it. Quite an alright show with lots of special effects..i believe the heaven and hell thing in the show will persuade a few out there to go to church this weekend haha.

Was supposed to report at 7.30am the next day but i woke up at 7am. Can you believe it? Of course i rushed like shit..had to time to shower or what..changed to my smart four and off i went. On my way there, there were 3 accidents all the way..the expressway was jammed like shit...and i mean like shit. I was obviously late but fortunately i wasn't given any extra duty..not even a reprimanding haha. There are 3 courses in SI namely InfoCom1, InfoCom2 and InfoSys. InfoCom1 focuses mainly on those signal related stuff on vehicles, InfoCom2 focuses on cheongsuahing..soldiers carrying signal sets and Cheongsuahing lor haha. InfoSys is mainly an office based thing..computer problem solving in offices and that's where i'm posted wahaha. No more SOC, no more outfield no more shit. My training program feels so much like poly..SQL, bluetooth, oracle blah blah...and mentioning about poly..this course even requires that i go to Singapore poly for lessons..a good 3 weeks if i'm not wrong haha..back to poly life!

The first day was orientation..a few fast lessons and a short jog around the camp. There's another regular in my bunk my platoon my course. My course commander is a female haha...shepherdson..oh no is this how its spelt..haha i dunno. You might wonder why a woman is doing in the army...but i can tell you she's quite suited here..she's fierce and assertive..just like any disciplinary mistress..scary. I hardly know anyone in my platoon so far. There's this other regular (his name is O..real name!) thats in my bunk and the both of us are always aimed to do extra work..and why? Because we're regulars haha. The amazing thing is...he lives in ang mo kio blk 178! And where do i live? Blk 179! Haha what a freaking small world right? Enough about my army life..let's talk about my weekend shall we?

Well i booked in on wednesday and i booked out on thursday evening haha. That's because its SI's 2nd anniversary the next day and they have an ongoing event in Jurong Water Park. So we all reported there the next day just to play some stupid lame game..they even hired 2 bikini babes to conduct warm-up for us...oh...SAF...haha. It ended in the afternoon and i went home. Slacked around at home and then went to Sam's house to slack somemore haha. Was playing mahjong with her dad and brother when she was activated for flight...a hanoi turnaround the next morning. I slept over at her place and when i woke up..nobody was around except for her maid and grandma haha. I asked the cheap weijian out and luckily he's awake..we met up and went Clementi for breakfast. After that we took a tour around NUS (his future school) for awhile before we got lost. There's this very curvy road near NUS leading to pasir panjang road..if you all didn't know..i was told its singapore's curviest road..haha you all should drive there one day..its fun. While riding along that road..we found a road leading to Pasir Panjang Battle Site...its uphill and the scenery there is pretty awesome..there's a clear view of the sea and the surrounding is peaceful and serene. Shall visit there again one day!

We decided to go to Jurong Point for our movie after that..we watched Hitch. Yeah i know..you've all watched it too....its nice. Actually i've watched so many movies the past days i didn't blog about..there's Assault on Precinct 13 and Team America World Police. They're both pretty good shows..especially Team America...its damn funny..the movie seemed hard to make with the puppets and all..its from the same creator as Southpark..so if you watch Southpark..you might find some of the voices familiar..there's Mr Garrison's voice..and cartman's too haha. Booking in tonight at 2200...my weekend's ending..but going out to celebrate my birthday later! 22 this year...no more feeling haha...but i'm sure i'll have fun! Cheers!
