So many things to say so little energy to type!

I have so many things to talk about that i believe this post might just stretch all the way to the bottom! Lol. Just kidding..i don't have the energy to type so much.

Ok let me start from the day i went out with my poly classmates..i can't remember the date..but it should be on a saturday. Anyway, that day was arranged for us to celebrate Henry's really belated birthday, Valencia's birthday and also for us to exchange Christmas presents. We decided to eat at this new japanese restaurant i saw featured on Todays papers. Its Yoshi Restaurant located at Hotel Royal@Queens in Bugis area..its a japanese buffet..$35++ per person. The food was alright..but the service was good...everyone seem so friendly..and morever we got a nice japanese styled private room for us to dine. After dinner, we went to Golddust at orchard towers. Yes its that kind of a place..its opened by Singapore's most famous transvestite Kumar. They really got us cracking that day..we laughed till our mouths went numb. And yes, just like my birthday the other time at Boom Boom Room..my 2 birthday friends were invited on stage for a mockery session. I have a few pictures take a look!





Ok i kinda remember the date for the Golddust night now..it was 10th December 2005. Now for the next event...i went to Hong Kong! Flew last friday..just got back yesterday afternoon haha. Here's how my trip went.

Day 1:
Our flight was at 1545hrs and we checked in 2 hours beforehand as usual. Spent some time shopping in Changi Airport's Transit area..It was kinda fun i must say. Sam bought an inflatable neck pillow, some cakes and we ate a banana split at Gelare!





Ok we flew a budget Airline...Jetstar Asia..there were no free meals onboard. Sam bought a "nan-chi" looking rice meal for $8 though. The ride was alright...the seats were leather..we had enough legroom..the service was alright..taking off and landing were smoothe too lol.



We arrived at around 1930hrs at Hong Kong International Airport. I was looking forward to seeing this airport..afterall..it has to be good..it took the best airport award from Changi Airport this year afterall right? But it didn't impress at all..but i must say the staff there were pretty efficient. They were all ready to upload us and our baggage the moment we arrived. When i walked down the ladder from the aircraft..i felt the cool air outside and it felt so good! If only Singapore's weather is like that once in awhile too. We had to take a bus from the landing site to the airport..upon arrival..an agent from our travel agency was waiting for us outside. We were told to go downstairs to wait for our bus..waited till 2030 before our bus finally moved off. We weren't the only passengers though...there were other people too and the bus was to send all of them to their different hotels. We had the misfortune of being the last to disembark..so by the time we checked in and settled down..it was nearly 2200hrs+ already. We decided that we didn't want to waste our first day like that..so we went out! Our hotel was located near the ladies market and some other market. We walked around although we were dead tired...we then settled at one of their restaurant stores for dinner cum supper. We ordered 2 bowls of chu qian yi ting noodles..sam's with beef..mine with chicken wings...not too bad only lol. After that we walked around somemore but didn't buy anything..we decided that we were too tired to continue..we went back to our hotel to rest.

Day 2:
We planned day 2 for us to visit the all famous Ocean Park in Hong Kong! Woke up early in the morning and went looking for breakfast. Saw this restaurant serving dim sum and so we went in. Afterall..i always wanted to eat dim sum in HK..we ordered so much that people gave us that "Can they finish so much food" look haha. We did finish most of it though..but i must say the dim sum there is ordinary..there are places in Singapore with more delicious dim sum!





After breakfast we went to take their MTR..something like our MRT..actually very similar haha. Navigated our way to their Central Station and took a bus there. (Oh i must mention travelling in Singapore is much cheaper than there haha) The bus took us directly to Ocean park and the place was surrounded by beautiful sceneries...the sea the mountains made it a really picturesque sight.





They had this really long escalator that brought us up to the park which is built on highland..its supposed to be the world's 2nd longest escalator! After we got up..the first thing we did was to take the rides. We took the wet log ride, a mine train roller coaster, viking, a corkscrew roller coaster and some other mini rides. We gave the freefall ride a miss though..i dun like sitting on that too haha. We visited their Shark Aquarium and Atoll Museum too..it was beautiful! The place is better than our very own Underwater World! The concept of the place is kind..i dunno why but i think this place is better haha. The fishes and sea animals were huge..some of them were cute too haha. Late in the afternoon..we went to watch their dolphin show. Once again..the show is kinda similar to the one i saw at Sentosa...we were bored at some stage haha. Anyway all these activities took place at the highland area of Ocean Park. We then took their cable car down to the lowland area. There were nothing much at lowland except for some go-cart, snow city, panda place and some other crappy things. We walked around for awhile and left.














We then went back to Central because we wanted to go to the Peak next! We walked around for so long before we finally found the tram station to go up to the Peak. The tram literally travelled vertically all the way haha. It was kinda fun..we passed by many condominiums along the way up too..how nice will it be to live there..with the nice weather and scenery..now thats life. It was really nice at the peak...it was colder too! Haha we had a really expensive meal there. All sam's fault lah! Anyhow order..in the end the bill came up to HK$600 over...which is equivalent to S$130++! And can you believe it..we only ordered 6 items! 1 coke, 1 glass of red wine, 1 carbonara speghetti, 1 chicken rice and some cold dish appetiser...madness right? Haha. But the food was nice..i drank the glass of red wine too and it kept me warm in the cold weather there haha.





No its not the end yet..after the peak. We went to their avenue of stars. Its located at the place where the TVB people always film their shows haha. It has a nice view of the city area right across the sea. Here are some pictures!







Day 3:
Sam planned this day for us to visit the Giant Buddha place at Lantau Island. The scenery there was good too. But i don't like seeing all these buddha things haha. And oh we had to pay to enter the monastary too haha..they sure know how to chop tourists too haha. We walked up this really long flight of stairs before we reached the big buddha. Visited some exhibits there..nothing much haha. Here are some pictures!








We then return back to Central area because we decided that it was time for shopping! First, we went to their biggest shopping mall..Harbour City. The place was boring! There were mostly only branded goods boutiques there..nothing much to shop at all! We then went to their Temple Street. Now thats somewhere we can shop. It was a giant Pasar Malam down the whole street. Bought many things there..many christmas gifts too haha. After walking the whole damn day, i decided that i wanted a foot massage! Found a really nice place soon after..it was really impressive..the place was beautifully renovated with excellent service and ambience. Although it wasn't cheap...my feet felt so light after that i felt it was worth it haha.




Day 4:
It was time to go home. We had to wake up early in the morning because our bus was due to arrive at 0730hrs. Didn't even had time to eat breakfast or anything. Just like when we came..the bus wasn't meant for us alone. It went on to fetch so many other people..some on their way for their Shenzhen tour. And we had to be the first one to embark this time! Dammit.





Didn't sleep the moment we reached home. Took a cab to my place first because my sister didn't have time to come fetch us from the airport. She didn't use the car that day so i fetched sam home from my place. Played mahjong at her place before going out to watch King Kong! Haha yes i was damn tired. I was dozing off towards the end of the movie..when King Kong was escaping from the humans in New York City haha. The movie was alright..action filled..but i didn't enjoy it as much as i had expected..maybe because of the fatigue!

So i've finished my post..hope you didn't have a hard time concentrating to read so much. This must be my longest post to date. But hey i'm wondering who even visits my blog nowadays..maybe you can leave your name in my comment box? I know there ain many but I want to know! Please? Hehe thanks.

Day at Sentosa!

Had a long day today. Woke up automatically at 10am..then met sam and puss at around 12+. Decided that we wanted to go sentosa haha. I thought that will be a nice place to go and $8 entry fee including 3 ppl and 1 car whole day parking is rather reasonable...compared to parking at some other CBD area carparks at $2 per half hour haha.

But the amount of money we will spend there was unforeseen by me haha. Our first stop was the cable car station. We saw mediacorp's crew there..i've no idea what they were filming but i saw candice and julian hee. We had lunch there..ate some pizza and fish and chips..it was alright..quite tasty..nothing much to say about this actually haha. We also realised that there was a new attraction there...some luge ride. Its a cart-like thing that goes downslope..its really fun haha..but can get quite scary..even scarier than motorcycles haha. After getting down...you get to take their cable chair up. All for $8 per person. Here's a picture of me on the cart!



Up next was images of singapore. Its like a museum with all the history and stories of singapore all the way back to when man-eating tigers still roamed the deep jungles of singapore and fishermen lived. Haha all quoted from there lah. Its a nice place..too bad stupid sam didn't charge her camera and we didn't take many pics before the battery died on us. This images of singapore tour cost us $10 each.

After images of singapore we went to the underwater world. I was really excited being able to go there again after my last visit nearly 10 years ago. Haha i remembered the nice fishes i saw the last time i went and i really liked it there. Its one of the reasons why i even reared fishes before. The visit this time was alright..the main attractions were the new crabs they brought it and actively advertised beside the escalators in orchard. Many of the animals were a sight to behold. Sometimes these just make you wonder how God actually created all these..its really amazing. Before our visit to the underwater world, we also went to the dolphin lagoon to watch a dolphin show. The dolphins were really well trained...i really wonder how they make them do certain acts..you must see to believe haha.

After it all, we left sentosa. We went to fetch sam's auntie from her office because sam needed her to collect her musical tickets from sistic. We then had dinner at Suntec. Ate at Soup's restaurant...the food was alright..one of the healthier meals i've had outside for quite some time now haha. The meal was courtesy of pussy because he managed 2 As for his exams haha.

After the meal we all felt tired and left after shopping for awhile. End of one day and start of another day tomorrow. Will be on night shift tomorrow...wish me luck..hope i don't get bored to death.

Anyway here are some pictures we took at Sentosa. Hope you enjoy!

Tired!

Just got back from work! Has been at another camp for the past 2 weeks having yet another exercise! Exercise exercise! Not even a rest time for me! But yeah i can finally go off shift tmr till thurs! Was sleeping in the morning today when my PC called in the morning activating me to go down again..it wasn't supposed to be me today but my PS reported sick so i had to take over him...dammit..waste my whole day! Was supposed to go out with sam! Nevermind going to meet her later.

Was chatting to this staff sergeant and captain at the exercise and they are both very avid riders. They even ride up all the way to thailand. The way they described their trips makes it very interesting and exciting..making me want to get my class 2 license soon and buy a bike and join them haha. I can imagine the freedom and fun...riding 200km/h along the NS highway and finally arriving in thailand and receiving a nice good cheap massage wahaha. Now thats life...to get away from all the shit and all..i will do it one day! But i need friends to join me..all the friends reading this please get your bike license too! I wanna go with you guys!

Just in case you're wondering what song i've just uploaded. Its the christmas song by Kenny G. Since it's approaching christmas period soon and kenny g is coming down for a concert soon..i thought it will be appropriate. Cheerios! Going out now!

Finally found the time to make an effort to blog lol

Haha that just didn't sound right didn't it? Well i certainly made full use of my break after wallaby the past few days. Been waking up early, sleeping late and going out. Just last sunday, helped my cousin with his wedding by being one of the chauffeurs that day. Had to wake up at 6am in the morning and be at his place by 7am. There was a convey of cars and i had a hard time catching the bridal car which was going so fast! Lol. Had to drive some of his wife's cousins around following wherever the newly wed couple goes. Went to central mall and also in front of supreme court there for photo taking. The photographer was a really humourous guy..many of us took his name card so that we can hire him again for our wedding next time lol. Would love to post some of the photos here but i dun have the pictures right now..maybe next time!

Then on tuesday..i woke up at 6am again because i had to be at the airport at 6.30am to fetch sam! Haha as usual i was smart and didn't wake up on time because as u know..there will always be delays and unaccurate timing on sam's part..i reached at around 7.15am..as expected she was late and we didn't leave the airport until 7.45am. Fetched her home and didn't sleep! We went for breakfast at bugis first...had some nice pork porridge and ordinary tasting prawn noodles. After that i sent my car to paya ubi there because i wanted to install bodykit for my car...now my car has a new look..will try to post pictures next time! After collecting my car..we went to shenton way to meet mingli and xiaowen for lunch to celebrate the latter's upcoming birthday. Guess what happened...first i went past the erp gantry without my cashcard...byebye $10+! Then i parked at internatinal building which cost $2 per half hour! i literally used up all the value in my cash card in one day that day..sob..Then one more thing..the place we had lunch in..amara hotel's element restaurant had really bad service. We had to wait 30 minutes for our orders..i was famished sitting there waiting...They later apologized by offering fruits and orange juice on the house..but it didn't really work...maybe a room for a night there will haha.

Woke up reasonably early today as well to send sam for her basic theory trial test at comfort driving centre. Then we went to tampines mall to catch Harry Potter and the goblet of fire..i must comment that the show is quite good..definitely more exciting and more interesting than the previous episodes. Ok i know i know..u all might have already caught the movie long before this post..but i just came back mah..........



Then we met my mum, sis, kok bin and sam's bro for dinner at honjin japanese restaurant somewhere in shenton way...(ya shenton way again). Because they had this 1 for 1 offer for UOB card holders..$48 for 2 persons all u can eat jap buffet. The sashimi was alright..but the service sucked again..had to wait ages for everything. And i spilled kikoman sauce on my jeans when i was signing for the bill..haha ok this was my fault. And guess what..the car park cost me a bomb again...don't ever drive to shenton way and park again!

Thats all folks!

I'm back!

I'm finally back from the awful, hot, dry and boring terrains of australia! I've been there for 25 days..but it felt like almost a year. Haven seen sam for ages now! Here i am back in singapore but she's away at South africa! Sigh.

Life there was boring..but the meals were acceptable...better than the food in my camp i must say. Brought A$200 but came back with A$100 haha. And most of the money was spent in the canteen..one plate of chips can cost A$2 and one can of coke $1.50. The only cheap thing there was the beer..the same price as a can of coke.

Spent my R&R period in rockhampton town, was lucky enough to be given a single room at Central Queensland University as accomodation..all the regulars got it actually haha. The rest of them were put up in twin rooms in other motels far away from us. We regulars were allowed to do anything we like during this period..which means free and easy. The NSFs were forced to join a heritage tour.

Me and 2 other friends rented a car to travel around and it was quite fun i must say. We drove at night on dark roads and explored the small little town...frankly there really wasn't anything much to see at all. They didn't have a proper famous brand boutique there..not even Levis or Polo Ralph or anything...nothing...just a KMart and some other small shops. Now you know why i didn't spent much during my R&R period.

But i did watch a movie there..cost me A$13.50...ridiculous right? But its alright...just an experience..and for killing time..coz there wasn't anything else to do haha. Watched Saw 2..the sequel to Saw...interesting and thrilling plot to the show...and i must mention that the director and script writer are both very psychotic and imaginative sadists haha.

Been away for so long that i really don't know the latest news around. But my sister did tell me that Wong Li lin is 5 months pregnant again...they can really keep it going i must say haha. Its my cousin's wedding tomorrow...have to wake up really early because i've been assigned to drive them around lol.

Will blog more again when i have the time. Cheers!

Dammit! 4D ah!!

Guess what...just last Sunday..i brought Sam to a 4D outlet. Feeling that my good luck has not eluded me..i "invested" in another system roll. I told her to choose 2 numbers and i'll choose 2. She chose 71 and i chose 78. Ok feeling demoralised that i didn't even smell the win that day..i didn't thought of betting again today.

And guess what?! Check out the winning numbers today...3rd prize 7178! Haha i'm laughing with tears rolling out of my eyes haha..there goes $1000! Sob...to add salt to my wound...my winning number combination 3-8-2-7 came out twice today too! One starter and one consolation! Sob sob there goes $310! Haha i wonder if i'm lucky or unlucky...

Hmmmmm...Greeeeeeeeee......

Lame

Watched Deuce Bigalow the other day with sam...the cineleisure offer ain there anymore! How sad haii...anyway the show suck big time..its lame..super lame...u rather watch Jack Neo's Gao Siao Xing Dong really hahaha.

There's something on the back on my mind today that i wanted to blog about but i just can't recall..my memory is really failing me..i'm becoming stupidier by the day wahaha.

Since i'm driving a jazz i thought i might add some jazz music to my blog as well..here's a local artise Corrine May for you! Will be adding Michael Buble next...trying to find his latest song thats playing on the radios nowadays..anyone knows what the title is?

David Tao is coming to singapore next time...i'm pretty interested in going haha who's interested? Oh ya who wants to go clubbing this weekend? Haven club for a long time now...legs feeling itchy now! Do jio me! Is my chatbox not working? How come i don't see new messages? I can't seem to reply mazi too hmmm...

I strike 4D today!

Haha remember the last time i striked Toto? Seem so long ago right..today i striked 4D..it was really lucky how i arrived at the 4 digits. I was driving along SLE on the way home and there's this toyota corolla in front of me with number plate 7832...then i looked to my left and this vehicle's number plate was 2873..i looked in front of that vehicle and its number plate was 8372...i took in as a sign! 3 vehicles with similar number plates all at the same place and the same time! I decided to buy the 4 digits 24 permutations. Sat was unlucky..i got 3 digits for 4 of the prizes..but luckily i covered back today..striked consolation haha..$60...not too bad lah ah...first time in my life i strike 4D hehe.

Won't be going back to sungei gedong tomorrow..will be attached to stagmont for 1 week hehe. Won't be seeing ppl that i don't like for a week hehe. Will be having my kit bag inspection this coming friday..the aussies are really fussy about what will be going to their land..we have to make sure everything is dust free etc..haii.

Oh somehow the unit anniversary was enjoyable. Played frisbee and soccer..my frisbee team played 1 match and lost and there wasn't any other game for us haha. But i did play soccer till my legs went numb. I even got cut at the toe..but it was fun! There are many people in my unit that can really play well...we can really form a good team i must say. After soccer, we went back to the chalet to prepare for the BBQ and wash up..guess where we washed up..the swimming pool there! Haha i didn't prepare extra underwear to bring there but i still went to swim. Of course i didn't go underwearless lah! Haha me and a few other friends went to Cheers and got ourselves a pair each..haha Crocodile brand. After BBQ, some of us stayed to play Ban Luck and i won $20 over dollars! Anyone that played banker that day lost like shit wahaha..it was really a bad day to be banker. Luckily i didn't give in to their pressure to be banker!

I went home after that and slept only for awhile because i had to wake up early the next morning to fetch sam from the airport! Reached the airport at around 8am fetched her and one other colleague back. Slept for awhile at her place but was forced by her to go for breakfast. Had brunch at parkway parade where we tried the parkway thai restaurant..it was buffet but i didn't eat much because i'm not really a thai food fan haha. Went home straight after brunch where we slept the whole damn afternoon wahaha. Went to watch movie that day..haha yes movie again. It was flightplan this time and it was pretty entertaining..exciting at times. Eh no other comments on it wahaha..actually i'm lazy lah..going to shower now!

Why am i at home?!

Haha no lah today is my unit's anniversary day and we got the first half of the day off. Will be going down to pasir ris coasta sands resorts later for the celebration...hope i enjoy myself haha.

Met up with henry and sham yesterday. Had pepper lunch for dinner (haha ok it sounds weird) and it tasted better than the last time i had it with sam, meiwen and chelsia. Maybe because i ordered another dish..try the chicken and beef combo..its pretty good. After that we went to watch Goal!..persuaded them so hard before they went to watch the movie..amazing right..considering they are soccer fans themselves too. They would rather watch into the blues which i will miss anyday..the show is just for us to see Jessica Alba thats all i think..nothing spectacular about the storyline. Goal! on the other hand was alright..the story about how a poor mexican boy rose up to be a first team english premiership soccer player. Its inspiring but definitely not for us singaporeans to follow haha. Oh its a trilogy..he gets to go to Real Madrid FC in the next sequel...cool eh.

Oh and guess what..there's this really good offer for you people if you decide to watch a movie from monday to thursday. The cafe there is selling ice creams at a 1 for 1 offer..thats means $3.50 for 2 scoops..and guess whats the best part of it..you get to buy movie vouchers at $6.00 each with any purchase there..you can buy as many vouchers as you like..valid from monday to thursday..any movie you like! No catch! How good is that man..not only did we save $1.50 each for our tickets yesterday..we even got to enjoy a scoop of ice cream..sweet!



Just went for my first servicing for the car..waited 2 hours there man..and cost me $409! Because i did this anti rusting thing for the bottom of the car..hehe..but it has a 10 yrs warranty and regular checks for it..guess its worth it haha.

The puss is older!

Had the chance to book out early yesterday because of the armour wospec evening dinner that took place yesterday at the neptunes. I didn't know where the place was at first and had to call puss to help me find out..i told him to look neptune courts for me at first but it turned out to be a condo at marine parade or something. He then told me that there's this the neptunes near clifford pier. I decided to try my luck and it turned out correctly fortunately haha. Oh i didn't mention..this dumb dinner cost me $70...its ridiculous..i could have eaten at equinox or something wahaha. The food turn out to be the normal chinese restaurant 10 course meal type. First up was an opening address by the formation RSM and a short video clip. Then the Mccee made us play games..he's quite a funny guy..made me laugh quite a bit haha. There were then performances by the neptune dancers...even topless ones haha..but its so damn boring i left early.

I then went on to meet Sam, puss and the rest because its puss's birthday. Puss treated the rest to Ding Tai Feng. Bought me a cold and sticky pork chop too haha. We then decided to watch a movie and they bought 40 years old virgin at 12.15am...which means we have more than 2 hours to waste. We then fetched Meiwen to City Hall to meet her sister for clubbing and we went on to the cafe called Timbre at Ford Canning to chill out..it turned out to be a really nice cosy place with a live band singing. Anyway 40 years old virgin turned out to be a really funny show...definitely worth the money to laugh if you're feeling down lol. Its a boring day today..sam is flying and i've no one to go out with now. Meeting puss and cheap slut for another round of birthday dinner again later haha.

Good day!

Had a good day in camp today..for once! It was practically very relaxing and carefree..the bosses were all not around and the rats came out to play...haha i'm not the rat lah. After last parade, we went to play soccer...feels so good exercising after not doing any shit for a long time. But then i drove home sweaty and all..didn't like it haha.

After i reached home..i went up to get a pail and went to the multi-storey carpark opp my house to wash and wax my car. Woah i swear its damn tiring..my arms feel so "used" now haha. Now i know why people hire the bangladeshi to wash their cars for them haha.

Oh went to watch "Wait till you're older" yesterday with Sam and my mum. Its a terrific show..special storyline and very touching. Go catch it if you can! Cheers!

Marksman!

I earned my marksmanship badge today! Fired 24 shots and got 22..but thats only after getting a 2nd try haha. The first time i tried..i only got 16 and its 20 for marksmanship. Will get to sew on the badge on my uniform but won't get any money coz this ACS doesn't have any money incentives sob sob.

Reached home around 4.45pm after the shoot today and it felt good..i just had a wonderful afternoon nap..something i haven got to enjoy for a long time now haha. Will be going to watch a movie later! Probably wait till you're older by Andy Lau.

Will be going to tekong for dunno what next monday and to australia at the end of this month. I must say i'm actually looking forward to these 2 trips haha..good luck to me!

Bought a Honda Jazz!

I've been wanting to update since last week but just didn't have the mood and time to haha. But not to worry here i am posting again..i will try my best to recall and blog down my happenings for the past week till today.

Last saturday, i experienced a turning point of my life. I received my first car of my life. I must say it wasn't easy making the decision on which car to buy. I didn't blog about this but i spent the month before that going to almost every showroom in singapore to look at and test drive the different models..it was fun haha. In the end i finally settled on the Honda Jazz. Reason being its small, its affordable, its nice and its fuel consumption is reputably good. It sure feels darn good to own a car and the feeling of sitting in it and driving it is good. The smell of the new car excites me and makes me never want to leave it haha. Ok i sound like the guy in Dukes of Hazzards haha. In that show he named his car General..what should i name mine? Sergeant? Haha. Anyway here's a picture of the model.



Anyway that Sunday we celebrated Sham's birthday. Spent the morning shopping for his present at Bugis Junction and the girls started walking around to shop as usual haha. After that we decided that we wanted to eat steamboat..as some of you may know..there's no lack of steamboat at Bugis. I thought that we settled for the famous 7 storeys steamboat but in the end they told me its something else. Haha and before that i told wayniest to wait at the 7 storeys steamboat which he did and got lost haha. There was so much food that day that we had to play games to forfeit someone to finish up the food haha. And there was this disgusting cow's stomach dish that we described as "mucus" and "digested grass" which we were forfeited to eat too...it really stank..i ate one haha...oh or rather i tasted it..i secretly spat it out when nobody was looking wahahha.

During the week, my unit had a RSM assumption ceremony...hmmm wait a minute its not worth talking about my unit at all..ok next.

Hmm let's see..what else did i do during the week...basically nothing much i guess haha. I'm interested in getting a new phone...its about time my lok kok 5100 rest in peace. I'm looking actively for its replacement the 5140..anyone knows where to find it?

FRIDAY!

Hehe sam scolded me for revealing on my blog about the diamond ring. But its true and everything you read here is from my heart...hehe.

Its finally friday..friday night..my favourite part of the week...there's no work tomorrow and i can sleep late. No more worries and starting of the new week is still far away. Will be meeting sam later for dinner and probably mahjong haha. I want to catch another...feel like watching Be With Me...wonder if anyone of you watched it and any comments on it?

I'm getting real lazy nowadays...i don't even know what else to type now..haha..have a good weekend my friends.

The awakening

Well well 2 months since my last post..the duration just gets longer don't it haha. But ok i'm still the same old ah nick..nothing much as changed since..my unit is still as fucked up and the people there are just as unhelpful too haha. I was just told that my application for leave from the 17th - 21st oct has been rejected because i'm taking too many days together..wth..i just want the 5 days straight so that i can go for a holiday with sam. She has a complimentary ticket from her company so we want to make use of it. Now my PC promise me that there'll be another period in december for me to clear my leave..hope they don't trick me again..or else i'll get really mad and xiaoville's theme song won't be so smoothing anymore hahaha.

Spent the last weekend fruitfully by celebrating sam's birthday. She got herself a room at Ritz Carlton..had a great time there. I made full use of their facilities..the jacuzzi, the steam bath, the swimming pool, the sauna etc etc haha. My time there will be what i call life. Had to wake up early on Sunday morning though because of the dumb AHM. Good thing is the gathering point was at the padang field...which is pretty damn near to ritz carlton. Meeting time was 0730hrs and i get to wake up at 0700hrs..haha isn't that just shiok. Anyway i got sam a bigger diamond ring for her birthday. She has been complaining about the small diamond ring i bought for her 2 years ago with my hard earned savings. This time i got her a much bigger one to shut her complains haha..i hope i won't hear anymore demands for the next few decades wahaha..but glad that she likes it...really did cost me a bomb.

Oh haven posted movie reviews for the longest time now. Let's see..the last movie i watched was The Longest Yard. Great show i must saw...funny, entertaining and emotional..go watch it..there's a few WWE stars for you to laugh at too haha.

YES ITS THEM AGAIN

Ho it has been 2 weeks since my blog got updated. Here's a complaint..yes nothing good about my unit again.

This past week i've been busy hooking up a connectivity exercise just for the sake of this big shot's visit later today. We've been staying back till late (around 10pm) just to get his shit working...actually we don't have to stay back till so late because there are times when we get stuck and can only continue when new equipments and information comes in the next day...but my boss insist we try to solve it...what the heck..its a total waste of my time.

I was running a temperature last night which is why i slept very early and am awake so early in the morning. This morning, i woke up to a very shocking message. Me and 3 other specs have been punished for not keeping the radio sets we've been using in the planning room..which is the place we do our hook up. And because its not only us that has access to this room...my boss is afraid that it might get stolen. Think about it..we'll be using them the next day again..and which stupid idiot thief will choose to steal a bloody lousy radio instead of six 22 inch Samsung LCD monitors which are just beside it!? Even if he's a spy...he will also choose to steal the desktops instead of this stupid radio which has nothing on it right?! And don't get me wrong...my boss did give specific instructions that there's no need to keep the desktops because he thinks that "no one will steal them". He only told us to keep the laptops which i did! Now my punishment is I will not be able to book out next week. I can't take this lying down...i must sort it out later when i go to the office man haha.

And there's another stupid thing happening tomorrow for my unit also. There'll be a stupid cohesion BBQ trying to unite the unit. Why hold it on a friday night?! Fucking stupid bosses...they don't think about their men...i'll be bbqing unhappily later. Never seen me so pissed off with life before? Now is the period.

Things will get better

I'm so glad its friday tomorrow, that means that the weekend is approaching. I dread going down to office nowadays...don't really enjoy working with the people there...the people there are just so unhelpful sometimes. I'm not saying all of them are bad...but those that i work close with just sucks...sigh...hope it gets better for all of us.

Went down to villa francis old folks home to do charity work today as part of armour's anniversary. Me and my team went to clean the roof of leaves and bird shit that was all over. As part of our effort for going there...we were given the rest of the day off. I went over to sam's place for lunch before she had to go on her flight in the afternoon...won't be seeing her for a week because it will be a long flight for her...all the way to L.A. So i arranged to meet up with puss in orchard to shop and walk around. We decided to watch a movie...and because sam didn't want me to watch initial D without her...me and puss went to watch Downfall instead. The movie talks about hitler's downfall at the end of WW2...when the allies were on the verge of overtaking Berlin. Its interesting to learn about the different generals and important people working around Hitler during that time...its unimaginable sometimes that people those time are that patriotic. I can't say the same thing about people nowadays right...especially those here! HA!

Check this out!

Just heard a very interesting rumour from my broadcaster ah kor...haha don't mean to be rude but that has been her nickname named by her 2 daughters since i was young. She said that the case of the china girl who was chopped up was emulated because the murderer watched ying cha yang chuo recently aired on channel 8...haha the one starring edmund chen. Apparently, the movie said that after chopping the body up into 7 pieces and separately..the spirit will not come back and haunt you. I don't remember andrew seow being chopped up in 7 pieces in the show although he was indeed chopped up. Haha interesting though...i wonder why the newspaper ain talking about this rumour...oh ya! SPH and mediacorp merged! Stupid me....

2 gatherings in 2 days

Had a small gathering with puss, mazi, jocelyn, freddy, deirdre, jackie and odette last saturday at miramar hotel. Haha yes i went there to eat again..for the third time. Getting tired of the food there already...i'm open to more new buffets...anyone that knows any out there? Anyway the dinner gathering was organised by horsey only to realise that its jackie's birthday the following day. Haha we bought him a mini cooper model car because thats the car he always wanted...but then we found out too late that odette had gotten him one a year earlier. I just the gathering was also for horsey's farewell...he'll be going over to boston soon to join fishy and study. We had a time limit to eat because we had booked the place for only 2 hours. After dinner we were tricked by horsey to cross over to opposite miramar because there were "many things to see there". We walked all the way to clarke quay and still saw nothing...then we decided we wanted to watch a movie. The movie we watched is a lot like love because horsey and gf had already caught batman begins. The movie turned out to be a typical love story starring ashton kutcher...but i like haha.

Had another gathering with my ex poly classmates the following afternoon...this time at glasshouse fish & co. Didn't go for the usual fish and chips that i order..this time lemon mussels punne pasta or something..can't remember what its called haha. It turned out to be ordinary but nice all the same haha. After lunch...guess what...yup u're right...movie again! This time batman begins. I nearly fell asleep at the beginning of the show...i dun know if its boring or if i was really tired...but i found out later that i wasn't the only one dozing off.

Yesterday...i met sam after my work. We went to have dinner at Big O at wheellock place. The speghetti that i ordered tasted quite good...sam's sirloin steak sizzled too. After dinner we walked around orchard...she went to DFS to get some cosmetics. We then decided we wanted to see big houses..haha we went rounds around CJC's area and ended up somewhere at thomas...saw many pretty houses that i dream i can own one day...work hard i will! Haha

pck musical

Just went for the musical at Kallang Indoor stadium. The musical supposingly cost 3 million dollars...but i sure didn't seem like it. Didn't turn out as nice as i've expected but still alright. But i must say the band is good. The $35 seats that my mum bought were too far and we couldn't see their face clearly haha. But it was a great getaway place from the craps i've been getting at work nowadays. May the lull period come back soon...i'm getting enough of these incompetent superiors that i have...opps...what have i done again.

Oh pck musical actually have a website of their own and u can actually download their songs...interesting...check it out! HERE

Sad

My former poly classmate's sister passed away recently. Its bound to be a tough period for her at the moment...its sure worse than any SOC, any IPPT, any route marches or any other tekaning sessions that we have to go through. Let us pray and help her get over this tough period....

Freedom of speech

My tasks in the office has been building up of late...i even had one day burned having 3 consecutive meetings all the way till 10.30pm. At the last minute i even got a scolding from my officer for daydreaming haha. I dunno how he did it but he found out that i wasn't paying attention and asked me to repeat what he last said and obviously i couldn't answer. I was trying hard to come out some crap but i just couldn't. Fortunately for me...he will be posting out within this week and hopefully i won't get to see him ever again haha.

I had been wondering lately if i signed on for the wrong vocation...the things my unit do are just so complicating and hard to understand. Not that i'm trying to give up...in fact i want to learn..afterall..some of these skills can be of use in the working environment outside should i leave the army.

Went to johor yesterday with puss...first time i rode my bike in. Decided to use the 2nd link because i thought the traffic there will be much better than the causeway and damn was i wrong. First of all..the journey to the 2nd link was way way long. I had to use the PIE all the way to the end and when i was there..i was startled to see the queue of bikes there. It was a clusterfuck with all the bikes close together. We took around half an hour before we finally made it across. When we are there...we realised that the 2nd link is very far from JB..it was like 36km apart..but the sceneries we came across while travelling there was nice and it was worth it. But don't expect me to use the 2nd link to go to JB ever again haha.

We spent the whole evening around City Square buying what we went there for in the first place. Stupid puss drew too much money and we had to find ways to spend all the money. We bought snacks, *****, *****, and lots of food. We finally gave our last 1RM to 2 sorry looking kids begging by the road.

Do you realise that my post today could potentially get me some probing from some authority or something? I hate it when i have to fear just for blogging...sigh...

Shit happens!

Ok i had a damn unlucky day today. The day started with a 6km run with my unit...ok that was nothing...nothing much happened till the end of the day. We had a last minute meeting..at 5.30pm! Our knock off timing! And the worse thing is i've arranged to meet my mum for dinner at 7pm at City Hall.

To make things worse...my mum left her handphone at her office and she's uncontactable. Fortunately, she called right before my meeting and i told her i'll be late...probably 7.30pm. The stupid meeting lasted till 7.30pm and of course i had to rush! I took the lim chu kang road and guess what?! I got ambushed!

There was a traffic police camping by the road and he caught me speeding on his speed gun at 93km/h. God dammit! How unlucky can i be? $150 and 6 demerits points! Boohoo! I pleaded but to no avail. He kept asking me where i was rushing to but i couldn't think of a lie...i told him the truth that i was rushing to meet my mum...didn't work. I expected a proper ticket or something but nothing...all he did was copied my particulars on his notepad and said i should be expecting a letter 2 weeks later. Shit...now i must think of an excuse so i can appeal...do feed me with ideas!

After riding for reasonably long...this is my first offence...how unlucky can i be?! There's always a first time alright...no more next time please!!!

Long story 2

Sam wasn't around the last weekend too so i met up with puss, horse and his gf for a movie. We watched Amityville horror..well its fairly scary but i must say its pretty ridiculous too...don't watch it unless you're bored haha.



I can't piece together the sequence of activities that took place. But one of the days i brought sam to the Miramar Hotel's japanese restaurant for dinner after recommendation from my friend. Its a buffet just like Kushinbo only that this time you order and you're served. The sashimis were really solid..fresh and lots of varieties. Its also cheaper than Kushinbo...$30 per pax. The only disappointment is that they dun have soft shell crabs. But it sure was an enjoyable meal...go try them!

Oh anyway i've passed out from Signal Institute. I got posted to a new unit that is situated in Sungei Gedong camp with one other platoon mate. The camp is far like shit...haha sorry for the bad english...but you will never imagine how far inside this camp is. But life as a regular 3rd sergeant there is good alright. Especially as a regular...i get lots of privileges. I get to stay out..i get my own corner for taking my food during meals and i dun need to sign any shitty book-in book-out book. My unit is a classified unit..anything we do and plan is all classified...so don't ask don't probe...just don't bother.

Just yesterday..went for another movie with puss, mazi and his gf. Yeah its Star wars..the super-hyped show. Lots of chopping of hands, heads and bodies in the show...typical star wars otherwise...go catch it just to complete the series..

Long story

It has been a long time since i've posted and quite a lot of things have happened during this period of time! I went to genting and back..got posted to a new unit..watched lots of movies blah blah!

Now where should i start? Ok shall talk about my genting trip first. Booked out that friday evening and rushed home to prepare my clothings and stuff. I then went to meet sam at her place. Our bus was waiting for us beside lavender mrt station and the first thing i did after boarding was sleep! Haha was so tired. The bus there didn't have anything much except a massager chair..but it was comfortable nevertheless.

Reached pretty early in the morning and the damn hotel don't have any rooms for us to check it early. Even got a rude awakening from the damn guard for sleeping in the lobby. We had to wait nearly 6 hours before we got our room..that got sam really real mad haha. In that 6 hours, we sat around..ate breakfast..walked around..played a bit of jackpot..and finally decided to go to the themepark. Time passed really slowly then i don't know why.

And guess who we saw in the themepark...dennis keller and the winner of eye for a guy 2! I shall not spoil most of your fun here and say out his name. They were holding hands taking the different rides and the camera crew was following them all around. The rides there are still the same from the time i went with darien and henry last year...except there's this new flying coaster ride that we had to pay extra money for.

The first thing we did when we got our room was to sleep! Had to wake up in time for our movie though..we had bought the tickets earlier. Watched Kingdom of Heaven...only costed us $10rm..its really cheap..compared to singapore..its what? $9.50 now!?



The show was alright...reminds me a little of King Arthur. Orlando Bloom just don't suit this sort of movie..wrong role for him to play...he's meant for those pretty boy shows haha.

After the movie we had our dinner at pizzahut..did some shopping and visited Ripley's believe it or not..and trust me...its nice! We spent the rest of the night in the casino playing jackpot and guess what!? We won! $40rm or something...not too bad right? I was satisfied enough haha.

We had a change of bus on our way back to singapore because the air con on our first bus broke down. They switched us to their first class bus and boy was it comfortable. We had a personal tv that we can play game, watch movies and music videos. I watched my boss's daughter starring ashton kutcher and halloween's horror starring dunno who haha. In conclusion, i enjoyed the trip very much and it was a break from all the sufferings i went through in army thus far haha.

After typing so much..i just you people are tired from reading right? I'm tired from typing too haha. Shall post again tml!

I can officially celebrate Labor Day now

I finally brought myself to update my blog for this week. Its the long weekend that all of us had waited for but its coming to an end! Leaving home and back to camp again in around half an hour...and you know what..i'm down with fever again..i dunno whats wrong with this body of mine but the fever just keeps coming back once monthly..just like a woman's period!

Met up with sam for dinner on friday night...we went to the newly opened satay club in east coast and had quite a feast. Then we wanted to go watch a movie but by the time we reached jubilee..the last show was gone.

Then we went out with her family because she wanted to get a new mattress for her new bed. I slept for the rest of the afternoon before going to meiwen and meiting's birthday celebration in aranda. It was nice meeting up with so many ppl i haven seen in quite a while. We left at around midnight and decided we wanted to watch a movie. Watched The interpreter and more than half of the 9 ppl that went fell asleep in the movie..including my gf herself! Haha. Not a nice show to me...i won't want to watch it again.



You won't be reading too much of my life serving the army because of the amount of attention on blogs nowadays...ppl even get sued over what they said over blogs..for all you know i might even get sued for saying that the food in my cookhouse suck! (Opps)

Weekend well spent

Went for weijian's birthday party yesterday. When i arrived..there were hardly anyone i knew there. Then came along some old marist friends. Throughout some parts of the party he weren't there at all because he went to fetch more friends. Then around 9+ he went off to fetch Mingli who just touched down from a flight. I waited and waited and got so bored i decided to go home haha.

Watched 2 pretty good movies this weekend starting with Coach Carter. Its a movie about a school won't don't do well academically and an average basketball team. Then came Carter who transformed the team with his extraordinary training and rules. He's someone that believes his boys should do well academically before they can play basketball. Along the way he faced many obstacles and criticisms from parents, teachers, students, the public and even the school principal herself. Its amazing how thick skin he is..i would have quit if i were to be treated like that. A show worth watching..



Woke up in the afternoon today and went for lunch with my mum at her favourite japanese restaurant at casaurina road near my place. After that we took a cab to Toa Payoh to watch a movie. Haven't taken a cab for the longest time and i must say i like sitting in a cab..haha i dunno why but it sure is comfortable. Watched Guess Who this time...another nice movie. The movie talks about ashton kutchon who fell in love with a black girl and face the uphill task of meeting her dad who is conservative and is particular about the colour of his daughter's bf's skin. Its a funny and touching movie..certainly another show worth watching...a weekend well spent for me.



Oh btw i changed my blog song again..its currently my favourite song and the first thing i always do when i switch on my com is to activate itunes and play this song...hope you enjoy it..cheers!

Start of a new weekend!

I just got back from my defensive riding course at BBDC. Its only my 2nd time stepping in there today, the first time i went...i went to register for this course. So i had trouble finding my way there haha. And stupid me had forgotten to ask what time the course starts..and their stupid customer service phoneline sucks...always busy and engaged.

Anyway i was trying to find out at their website early this morning and fortunately Dave was online. And coincidentally he just went for the course last thursday and he told me that its starts at 8.30am. It was already 8am and of course i panicked and quickly left home. Reached at around 8.45am and luckily i wasn't reprimanded or not allowed to take the course. Anyway i wasn't the last to arrive..one guy came at 9.30am and he could only collect his cert one hour after us at the end of the day haha. With this cert, i can now ride and park my bike in camp! No more fear of being summoned or anything being stolen!

Met up with Puss and Sam yesterday at Orchard and we went for a movie...Samara. Its a boring show..but both puss and sam agreed that its scary. Its hardly scary to me..i was yawning half the time..don't waste your $6.50 or $8.50 i say. Haha

What a boring sunday!

Alright everyone's gone. Mum left on friday midnight but i didn't go to the airport because i was to meet Sam that night. Sam left on saturday morning. I stayed over at her place and woke up early in the morning at around 6am to accompany her to the airport. We had breakfast there and after they left i left too. Went to BBDC to book my defensive riding course and after i pass that course i can ride and park my bike in camp! No more walking all the way to the neighbourhood opposite! Hooah!

And this morning i woke at 6am too to help my sis carry her freaking heavy luggage down. She told me it weights 32kg wahaha..thats like 2 full battle order.]

So here i am all alone at home with nothing to do and no one to go out with. Cheap bird is playing soccer with his army friends while puss is mugging for his coming exams. Oh Mazi got accepted in Boston University and he said that he might be staying there to work after that? He'll be leaving in August..so bye bye Mazi?

Here i am so freaking bored at home..shall go out later but i dunno where to go. The library is closed now isn't it?

Not surprisingly..i didn't watch any movies this weekend haha. But i did watch Black Hawk Down which i downloaded. While watching the show stopped abruptedly. Its only then that i realised that its one part 1 of the show..dammit man..now i won't be watching the ending till maybe weeks later.

Downloading Enemy at the Gates now..remember that sniper show? Nice!

They're all leaving

My mum's going to China for vacation this friday, my sis is going to India for her attachment this sat...sam's going to Bangkok this sat too...they're all leaving me one by one haha. My ah kor will be moving back to her place during this period when nobody will be at my house. So when i book out this weekend i'll be all alone at home! How sian..at least i have nicky to keep me company haha.

I am in the lab now learning asp...i don't know a shit..i don't know how to link my database..i shall switch off and surf the net..Hooah

Its my life

You won't believe what happened to my bike. Nah its not what you think. But i spent the whole of last night trying to unlock my bike's handlebar and start the engine. Horsey even came by and tried. We didn't succeed and i even went back this morning to try again for another 15mins..to no avail again. I had no choice this time but to ask the former owner for help. He never had such problem before but he's a nice guy and he came to help. I went to Cantonment Complex to fetch him (He's an nsf working in CID) and made my way back to where i park my bike near horsey's place. He couldn't do anything too but he had many contacts so we got a tow truck to tow my bike to lim ah boy's workshop lol.

As the handlebar was locked...it was a super chore to get the bike up the pick up. They had to lift up the front wheel while i pull the bike. And i swear this bike is super heavy haha. At the workshop...all he did was twist and turn..swear some oil and grease..and after around 10mins..my bike's engine went off haha..finally..i was relieved yet puzzled. I actually spent $27 ($17 for tow and $10 for this 'repair' service) and it was done so easily. Anyway most importantly i got my bike up and running again and i can ride it again! I bought 2 side bags to attach to my bike yesterday..now its pretty fat haha..i wonder if i can squeeze again...but it does provide me the storage space i need.

By the time i sent the bike's former owner back in west coast and reach my place..it was already 9+. When i finally reached my doorstep..i realised that i left my key on the bike! God dammit! Imagine that...so near yet so far..i had to go all the way back there to retrieve my key...everything was under my bike cover so i wasn't too worried someone will ride my bike away.

Finally back home and i still had to continue typing my exercise report...i only just finished and my eyes aches like shit. But i'm still here typing and telling everyone of you my experience. Now this is my life.

I made myself busy

After school on friday..i went to my bike shop because i need a guarantor to sign for my bike loan. I got my cousin so he met me there. He's selling some slimming pills and apparently he's earning big bucks. He's getting married at the end of this year..he told me it cost $50000 and he has to pay cash. And he's getting a car at the end of his reservist and i don't know when..but his options are only lexus, mercedes or BMW haha..i wanna be him. He asked me to join him in selling that but then i'm no good with sales..and remember that multilevel sales company place bernerd brought me a year back? Its something like that haha.

After signing i sent him back to his workplace and went to meet sam at orchard. Wanted to watch a movie at PS but its full house...which is always the case at PS. I then went home and went to pick her up later for a later show at jubilee. We watched Spanglish..the trailer made it to be a usual Adam Sandler's type of comedy but its actually not so...its emotional and touching at times and there's meaning to the show haha.



And yesterday..i met dave to visit Ah boy but i didn't buy anything..wanted to buy side bags to put on my bike but then he discouraged me against doing that haha. I then went to meet wayniest to go orchard just for a yakitori box for dinner haha. After dinner we went home to watch Manu vs Blackburn..i fell asleep at the 75th min haha...its that boring..and yes the final score is 0-0.

After the match we had to rush to Lido to meet Sham and Henry for another movie..Hostage this time haha..look how busy i made myself. We missed the 1st 5 mins of the show..i don't know how he failed as a negotiator and all..heck it. The show was alright...only a bit unrealistic here and there. Full of maniacs and action though..and it leaves you wondering at the end of it too..till now i don't know who those masked men were and whats in the dvd.
