This blog's lasted me for nearly 4 long years...
Most of the stuff i've written in the past is just ramblings of an angsty 18 year old... but as time went by, so did the material and i must say... the content's definitely improved~

So, i think this blog deserves some kind of... recognition~

it was my first online journal and it holds a lot of memories... i hope when the world comes to an end & the internet is destroyed, Aliens when find this site and put me in their history books~

However, if all goes well after 2012 then i guess i'll just show this to my kids instead...
to a glorious 4 years, & to 4 years more..

cheers...
and farewell~

Change. has. come.

Theodore's day off/ ced's big return/ afew words from the writer/ and then some...

2009-11-29T10:49:00.012+08:00

when over to Koven to meet QJ for breakfast n babysit little "dore" when she was the one doing the actual babysitting n i was just helping the kid get MORE dirty :p

this is he, in his adorable little kiddy tram which i happily push through crowds of people, pretending we're a shotgun family and being amused at their judgmental stares.. which i thought was pretty funny~

we took him to the supermarket & an aquarium...

the kid stared at the pizza+fishes like it was the first time he's even seen them.. tsk, wad a noob~

after awhile, i felt like foolin around on a swing set so we went to this playground for a bit while young theodore went for a quick ride on the "what-cha-ma-call-it-shaky-thing"...

his shoe make silly noises when he walks, it's cool to just watch him run around picking up twigs & randomly touchin stuff :)

took him back home after gettin all dirty from the wet slides and rollin on floors for a quick bath and a change of clothes...

okay, so in my defence... he was lookin at me with his beautiful doe eyes and youthful innocences... i couldn't NOT let him have a Snack Pack now could i?!
STOP LOOKIN AT ME LIKE THAT!!!

met her friend & the 3 of us cabbed down to expo where they went for service & i went to the tech fair to find jess. Said good bye to the little tike & i chatted with jess for a bit before headin home...

the journey home was long and squishy from having the expo brimming with nerds from all across the land... the short bursts of rain didn't exactly smooth the journey home either... and this was mid day where the bus intervals took forever... so that experience was quite a bitch-_-

jess came over after work, we talked and chilled while waiting for the plane to arrive... i bought this woodcraft construction kit of the Eiffel Tower at the Koven Mall for just 2 bucks, pretty neat huh?

usually something like this takes about 10 mins to put together, but i took the time to smoothen all the edges and snip off any splinters so, i think i took about an hour and a half... but despite all that it still looks wobbly...
Hence, confirming i have absoultly no skill in ENGINEERING.

so anyway, this was the final product...i waved it around for about 10 sec then that was that...
of to the shelf to be forgotten...
oOh, and i find this picture really funny for some reason :)

cabbed down to the airport at about 3am. the place was all shiny in preparation for the whole Christmas thing..
creepy "left-4-dead" lookin escalator...
all the kan-chiong parents waiting outside arrival trying to spot their sons...
"cannot find one lah auntie..."

They came out shortly and we spotted him from afar pushin the little airport trolley with a haversack on his back... cabbed yet again to whitesands for mac breakfast and tea.
it's definitely been too long.. good to have u back dude~
fucker bought me a toy penis... i have it soakin in a bucket in the kitchen now... it's a little furry to the touch & gross to look at seriously -_-
final cab home and facebook-ed for a bit before crashing.... slept for like 4 hours and woke up feelin cold and cranky from the sore throat and throbbing head....

past few days i've not been gettin enough sleep and eating shit like Manhatten Fish Market, McDonalds, Fried Wanton Noodles & Nasi Lemak.. not to mention the heaty tubs of Snack Packs...
i should stop trying to kill myself with cigerettes, fastfood & sleep deprevation...

last friday when i think my fever was at it's peak, i had a crazy nightmare whilst waking up from my nap... it was about all my friends getting killed or something and i was the only one left alive to fend for myself against... whatever threat that was out to get me... i was just running and running throught this dream and it just got me thinking that, maybe it's not a dream... maybe it's a prophecy of some kind and i just had a premonition of wad's gonna happen in 2012....

does anyone else have a dream like this?
maybe it's one of those deja vu things where everyone has the same dream and it turns out to be true~
or maybe it's just the fever fuckin with my brain...

whether it's that or a sign of impending doom, we still got a couple more years to live so...

i'd like to take this moment to just comment on wad a super long post this is... i haven't been using this space as often as i'd like anymore but i still try~

And that i'm really hungry now and tired right now... can't really decided which to do first... will i doze off half way through my meal? or will i not be able to fall asleep on an empty stomach?

hmm, let me ponder over this more while i watch some youtube videos of Family Guy....

one more time~

2009-11-13T23:47:00.003+08:00

I was suppose to starve myself today to prepare my tummy for the awesome zhi char of a life time i'd be havin for tomoro's Road Trip to JB, but couldn't help it...
Bar chor mee + Western from Lavender near the immigration building after accompanying Winson to get his passport~

look at that man... dammmmn~

the Rain hindered most of our walking so we didn't really have much time to work with... decided to go to the "Guan Yin" temple to bai-bai...

my "Fortune Paper" i got from shaking-the-wishsticks-outta-the-round-container said...

"Glad tidings come from above. All of a sudden, treasures of Mt. Tai at your disposal. To inquire or marvel at this good news, best to proceed as many helpers are around."

-wadever that means...
but it says its a "Good" interpretation... so i guess thats cool~

tomoro's gonna be awesome... just hope the weather'll be kind and no one tries to stab us there~

until then, stay tuned...

of a LIFETIME!~

2009-11-12T22:41:00.003+08:00

holyyyyy shiiiitttt....

why didn't they figure this out sooner?!?!

and the website's just a mouth-watering display... two more days to having the Zhi Char of a lifetime with the Party Boyz... it's gonna be a blast and i'm gonna starve myself on friday just to prepare for it :)

ROOOADDD TRRRRIIIIPPPP!!!!

Na-Nu Na-Nu~

2009-10-21T19:13:00.011+08:00

olla~
i dunno if anyone noticed... but isn't the show "Cosmo & George" starring Gurmit Singh just a rip off of the 1978 show "Mork & Mindy"?

not only do they both have the same concept of using names in their titles... but the entire plot is the same, cept the one with Robin Williams in it is less lame~
And that actually counts for something seeing as how it was first shown in the 1970s where bell bottoms and Mullets where considered the 'beez kneez'~

anyway, back to real life....
spent the afternoon feedin bananas to the turtles and making them pee on themselves before tossing them back into the pond~ i had such a laugh when they started doing that, it was really the highlight of my day, besides ur morning text of course~

our yabbie's pregnant as well... she's been tending to her eggs for about a week or so now. We watched her fiddle with them for a bit before going back to torturing jH's catfish~

it kinda sucked that everyone else left while we stayed but at least we fooled around enough to keep us entertained throughout the day, which (might i add) was INSANELY HUMID AND SUFFOCATING~
yesterday as well...

i do NOT like the weather here, and apparently, the weather here doesn't like me either -_-
wadever man, im headin out for some CAKE, fuck u Global Warming~

oh & Jazrel, quit blog hoping when u know u've got homework to do :p

kaybye~

ps: i’m in love with your anxiety too~
among other things..

2009-10-13T18:56:00.009+08:00

(*stood outside my corridor whilst enjoyed my second cig of the day.. it was remarkably windy~ i watched how fast the clouds above where moving and occasionally a flash from above would light up the sky for a few seconds and avert my attention for a bit... )

Spent about 20mins in the kitchen & was all done with marinating & seasoning the then frozen poultry when i realized there was no more rice left to cook.. had to call mom to buy food back instead which was quite disappointing since i was really keen on having a home cooked meal today~

(*the sky's starting to get darker and the breeze is wonderful... it made the tip of my fag glow with every gust, diminishing it even quicker... i wasn't bothered by it though~)

With the Officers not around in the morning, we took the speakers from the Conference Room and blasted 'Kings of Leon' & 'Hall & Oats' cause it was Retro night and anything goes on Retro Night~

(*grabbed a hand full of grapes from the fridge and went back outside for a little longer. Stood by the corridor door contemplating why Seasons happen everywhere else in the world but here. It would be nice if it snowed once in awhile... i wondered if it would be a chore to dawn winter wear every time before heading out. i might actually have derive some pleasure in the process...)

We've been planning a 'party boyz' trip to Lavender to try the "Best Bar Chor Mee in the World" & the Super Spicy "Hums" that sm keeps talkin about~
friday night? or maybe saturday, i dunno.. i might have school...
i might not....

(*i start to feel tired.. it's beautiful weather to fall asleep to~ i toss the seeds over the ledge & watched them fall beneath to the trees. I go back inside and shut the door behind...)

someone like you~

2009-10-11T22:42:00.010+08:00

hello~

had dinner at Din Tai Fong before catchin "Funny People" yesterday... it was rather draggy but a good show nontheless... can't go wrong with an Adam Sandler movie~

"funny people~"

Took my mom out for lunch at some Chinese Restaurant at Tampines. The waitress there spoke such pleasant Mandarin... i was more impressed than confused as she explained the "Soup of the Day" and all that stuff whilst taking our orders. Bravo~

met V at century square to get some stuff then headed to the library and borrowed a few "Sandman" novels for fun~ Had a Ciku Milkshake from one of the juice shacks nearby... it was weird, i shall not comment any further..

Annoyed his sister for a bit before headin home...
"really? are you REALLY studying?"
hmmmm....

came home, went for a haircut, met the bff for dinner... she made mac & cheese for the first time and we ate it off Bugs Bunny plates & shared them with the baby cousins~

grandma's cooking is always super cause it's made with love~ i thought i was just gonna have a simple meal with her & chill for a bit. Ended up having chili crab too. So far the day just keeps getting better and better~

here's a lil 'before and after' pic...
this is before...

and this is after...

thats the cute cousin who looks at me funny every time i come over and runs away screaming whenever i poke him~

aftermath :)

Polymates where joy-riding near the east, called me along.... i complied~

headed to changi village for drinks.. hung out for a bit before they drove me home~

this was a rather spontaneous Sundays & i quite enjoyed myself today... looking forward to going back to flight tomoro. It's been a long time & i miss my mates in camp~

there's tons of cool movies coming out soon that i wanna watch.. 500 days of summer, Amelia, Julie And Julia, City Of Men to name a few~ hopefully i'll be about to watch all of them...

the weather's starting to act up again, all that global warming shit is really fuckin with the Ozone. Think the week's gonna pass pretty slowly, but at least i'll have a couple of things to look forward to when the weekends near...

i really hope your not weird in person~
not too weird at least :)

ciao~

ain't no party like ma nanna's tea party~

*Knocks on the window...

Neighbours kid: "hello kor kor, can borrow ur PSP?"

me: "im sorry Danny, i sold it to a friend, i don't have it anymore~"

Neighbours kid: "Orrhh... can go inside your house to play?"

me: "not today, i gotta study..."

Neighbours Kid: "Kor Kor, can come play with us?"

me: "umm... well.... no, i gotta study -_-"

Neighbours kid: "Orrhh.. okay~"

*runs off...

ergo, imahorribleperson~

2009-10-01T20:16:00.004+08:00

i was this close to being late this morning cause i had some trouble with my ez-link card since i wanted to try my luck using the old one...

yeeahh, I'm one of those lazy people who didn't get their ez-links changed on time like their suppose to so don't judge me -_-

brought my books to camp & spent the first half of the day making notes and stuff~ At least i managed to squeeze a little mugging in the day so i won't feel so guilty later on~ i'm probably only like one/fifth done with my revision, and with only a few days till my 1st paper, it would be unwise of me to head out during the weekends... However, Ced insists i attend 'boy's night' this Saturday & tempts me with his 1-for-1 booze, so i'll just leave it pending~

this afternoon's antics were quite fun. We had a little 'Dukes of Hazard' episode up by the training grounds when no one was looking..

Forgive me but i must be vauge when it comes to disclosing my affairs in the RSAF, i mean... it's not like i can go right out and say how me and my friend, who's name may or may not have been jH, rode a certain vehicle down a certain slope at a certain speed which might or may not have been the appropriate thing to be doing but hey, that would be totally unprofessional of me, so i won't~

Back in the flight we fooled around with the fishes from the pond & took turns flippin the turtles over with the fishing net and playing real-life Left4Dead with a water bottles and some AC remote controllers...

Again, these things may or may not have happened... i'm being totally ambiguous about all this. U never know who's reading~

i've been snappin away at random pictures of food with my new 8mega pixel phone... i should really consider turning this into a food blog~ maybe it'll get more viewers that way...

is that wad people wanna see?
Pictures of my dinner?

you folks out there are soo weird...

something about us~

2009-09-30T21:31:00.011+08:00

i haven't really had time to write a proper entry, I've been rather preoccupied over the last couple of weeks~ (i'll refrain from elaborating to spare u an essay long post...)

Figured with this being study week & all i'd get be able to get some time alone for myself but then came this thing with this 'cancer' pandemic so i've been turning in pretty early these past few nights, which only burns up time i most preciously need to read and review my lecture notes for the upcoming exams....

Camp today (although idle..) was rather fun. The waking-up process took a bit longer to ease into though... The scratching in my throat and the warmth from the night before where mainly to be blamed, but it got much more comfortable later in the day~

made myself tea and sipped it whilst reading the morning paper, occasionally dipping the butter biscuit & twinkie rolls i brought to camp that morning into my oOh soo sensual beverage~ The morning was pretty slow paced, but i had no complaints there...

During the early afternoon, we drove down to the Pass-Making Office which happened to pass by a large forested area much resembling that of an untamed country side, which i thoroughly enjoyed~ spent the remaining hours chillin with my friends, and having a great laugh whilst playing with matches and molesting each other out of boredom~

A chat about life out by the 'secret spot' opened my mind to certain thoughts bout my possible future.. of regrets and mistakes i'd hope to learn from, even though their not my own to make~

ate a couple of bananas and drank more tea, then headed home and made myself spagetti bolognese AND Carbonara for dinner. That's right, 2 flavors... and they were rather satisfying i might add~

My coughing has yet to cease, it isn't really wise of me to be smoking while in this frail state but i really can't be bothered~ besides, it's not like i'm on a 'one-pack a day' habit and i still don't consider myself a smoker...

so, yeaah~

i think tomoro would yield more fruitful activities but a part of me's hoping it won't so i could use the free time to heal... as of now i think i'd hit the books for a bit, at least until mom gets back from work or if it gets too late~

Hot to windy, rainy to cold~
God's seriously gotta make up his mind about the weather...

seriously....

meh~

2009-09-27T22:50:00.004+08:00

spent the morning waiting at the clinic for my turn to come... was quarantined with all the fever patients cause of my 'flu-like' symptoms... had the mask on and everything. Didn't really go any faster despite of that~

got home and pretty much passed out from the meds... i've been drifting in and out of consciousness since then~ As of right this moment, i think I'm actually feeling better despite earlier discontent on only getting 1day MC~

Unfortunately, im still coughing like i've been smoking since 5yrs old so i could still die tomoro..

fuckin cancer...

not soo fine~

2009-09-08T23:36:00.002+08:00

i'm having a horrible week...
Work and school's been just one big mess....

think the only thing i enjoyed bout the past few days was the hot chocolate my mom made last morning which took all my troubles away for that brief moment, and being able to finally watching "Schindler's List" on my itouch... great great movie~

a thousand times better than "i love you beth cooper" for sure. I swear, im never gonna watch stupid movies at the cinema ever again unless i know their gonna be good~

i'm praying for the weekends...
everything will be fine once i survive till friday~

timbre anyone?

super duper~

2009-09-05T11:14:00.004+08:00

shawn & i found 2 cartons of beer in the pantry fridge. it was ment for the 15th day of the ghost festival or something like that which was gonna be held later on in the evening~

they set up a table outside by the pond and there was chicken, duck, char siew, the whole nine yards and other assorted goodies along with all the paper money and cloth~

the sun went down and after praying and burning all the offerings we dug into the awesome feast & drank Tiger at the parking lot... it was like a picnic, we talked and laughed and held our beer cans high as we toasted to safety and good tidings to come... The food was great, the drinks aplenty. We were the best team there & we knew it, we were on top of the world~

i left for class feeling buzzed and warm from the booze... late as usual but i was quickly forgiven~ had an interesting photo shoot by the lifts after class and reached home with the intent to complete my Public Relations Essay but was just even more confused about wad i was suppose to do~

this pretty much carried on till the next day as i fumbled with a suitable topic to write about, from Health Care to Propaganda... my mind was all over the place~

superdog-ed with ivan before headin to Queens and had the the most amusing conversation with iqbal on the way back bout gay dudes and the hotness lvl of afros after headin to sheng song to scout for sport-aid prices with chris~

lizzy called a few mins after i got home to help with my essay. we talked into the night & after hearing all her insight i must say, a clearer picture's been painted for me. In light of that, i think i now know what i'm suppose to do & i can't thank her enough :)

woke up early this morning and had half of my sister's egg sandwich before attempting to continue with the paper but decided i'd blog abit first for the hell of it~

there's a can of Double Mocha Nescafe hidden at the back of the fridge i've been saving for the right occasion, think i'd need to use it today...

enjoy ur weekend folks~

Revelry~

2009-09-02T18:49:00.008+08:00

i woke up really early this morning... had a rather violent dream which disrupted my slumber, but it wasn't scary or anything like that...

i could feel myself tossing around in bed for abit. First thought that came to my mind when i woke up was 'WTF' because it was a really nonsensical dream, i can't even remember wad it was about except that it was really weird and there was a Horse~

finished bathing and got dress before six so i stoned around the house abit... made tea and cut a slab of Pandan Swiss Roll from the fridge. It was nice having the time to have breakfast before heading out, usually i'd be rushing to work the moment i got outt've bed.

its nice to finally enjoy a morning before sunrise to myself~

popped by the mini-mart downstairs to grab some lemon drops before strolling over to the bus stop... it reached just as i arrived to board it~

i wasn't surprised to see it only had like 2 people inside...

"i'm early today.."

i kept tellin myself that.. or maybe it was everyone else who was late.... and we're all actually slaves to a race of machines livin' in a virtual world~

i reached the flight at 7.30am.
work was rather subjective, but i had fun hanging out with my friends. We got released early thanks to the great one's leadership & got home just before six feeling totally exhausted...

i really need to get my priorities straightened out... there's so much to do and although this morning started out great, the week's endeavors have only just began to emerge~

the days leading up to the October will be taxing but at least I've got something to look forward at the week's end :)

and thats all i have to say today so,
good night~

summer song~

2009-08-24T18:59:00.006+08:00

i spent the morning sippin' tea & eating biscuits before hitting the books... i wasn't really thinking bout the workload, just more on my understanding of things. was trying to work smart this time round, didn't wanna repeat past mistakes if u know what i mean~

Made myself a sandwich for lunch... wholewheat on lettuce with cheese and turkey ham plus a heavy dose of Mustard, mild of course, never did fancy the hot stuff. Indulged in my Nicholas Sparks novel for a few chapters before leaving the rest for the evening~

the conversation last night, although short-lived was rather enjoyable. It's been awhile since i've spoken with a person that way....
guess that was something worth adding~

had a flash back of my field camp days for some reason... Lookin back on what i'd been through, i'd say the future don't look so scary anymore~

restocked my playlist with a whole new bunch of songs... i'm feeling quite ready for the week ahead...
the thought of that delighted me~

bye bye, Blackbird~

2009-08-05T19:58:00.004+08:00

balancing school and work is starting to take it's toll... I've been showing up late for work one too many times and it's getting annoying~ My mornings are getting mentally agonizing and Eden for taking my i-touch earphones the other day did not help in the transition...

today's the only day since last week that i've come home and not headed straight to the bed. i found the time to watch some television and blog for a bit... im at the last two chapters of the "WATCHMEN" novel so im gonna resume to that in a bit...

been doing alot of reading these days, maybe it's the whole 'going-back-to-school' thing that's making reading fun again, i'm enjoying the habit~

in these recent weeks i somehow feel quite contented with how everything's going... i like being kept busy, i like how i'm meeting alot of new people & learning alot in school... I like how although i pull plenty of stunts in camp & often get on their nerves, my mates still have my back~

it's a pity there wasn't much pictures taken during the days leading up to my birthday.. but here's a video the best friend (whom i've not been spending much time with recently & im sorry for that) took of me at her place some weeks ago... i think it's pretty funny~

PS: i thought Public Enemies was cool, why's does everyone keep complaining about it?
i'd totally be gay for Johnny Depp~

well, not really....

caked~

2009-07-24T13:36:00.003+08:00

im loving the morning's weather for accommodating with me on this day of days, there isn't a finer morning one could have the luck of waking up to :)

i spent the time watching all the previous episodes of Prison Break that i had missed out over the past few weeks and did some reading by the open door...

the guys bought me cake yesterday and fed all of it to my face... we never even got to eat any of it which was such a pity seeing as how im sure it would've tasted swell~ clean up was a bitch but i had fun. With friends like them there's no needs for enemies really :)

party tonight, after party tomoro night~
no rest for the weary :p

holocaust~

2009-07-22T21:29:00.004+08:00

today's suppose to be the solar eclipse of the sun by the moon or something like tat, but the rain pretty much ruined most of it... talk about cosmic irony~

everyone huddled around the tv to watch the live telecast of it on channel U, but it was just a bunch of reporters interviewing scientists and random pedestrians, like we give a shit bout all that.. just show us the bleedin eclipse already~

i didn't stay long enough to see if they actually did...
weather was nice and cool though~

aside from the fact that M** got H1N1 and everyone's freakin out bout whether or not we're gonna get locked up... everything's just dandy~ my first day of school the other day was awesome, it was a journalism class & it was super interesting, i was really intrigued.

the sudden stimulation has sparked a reading frenzy in me... i'm constantly lookin out for new reading material- mags, newspapers, books, texts, etc.

went to the library and got a book bout the Holocaust... kinda retrospective for the likely hood of impending Doom judging by how everything in the world's fallin apart~

Hmmm.... better stock up on Cheetos~

love like a sunset~

2009-07-19T19:24:00.005+08:00

the one thing i can say about how my weekend went was that even though for the most parts of it i was totally wasted and judgment impaired, i still remember having an incredible time~

i thought Friday night's escapades were bad enough with the strange incident with "Creepy Old Guy" and animal psychology 101... but then come Saturday night's shenanigans which was no.2 on my list of alcoholic endeavours we don't talk about... the first one being the night of the Pineapple Malibu~

we don't talk about that night anymore...

my throat feels like shit, i've been speaking with a low gruff all day and did nothing to contain my bedhead~ taking into consideration how god's decided to make the weather today gentle, hot tea and a good movie is all i need right now to rejuvenate from the week's adventures~

i've been downloading tons of chick flicks & now my heart's all mushy from watching Sleepless in Seattle which has renewed my confidence in destiny's clasp on love~

im sure i'll get around to being cynical again in a few days time...
so, just shut up and let me be~

:)

a thursday night in july~

2009-07-13T20:53:00.007+08:00

hello~

this month's been full of surprises. i find myself constantly occupied with things to do. For the first few days i was hardly at the computer as much and i quite enjoyed the feeling. I should try & make this more of a habit...

In the times that i'm free i read. Even in the times when i'm not suppose to which is most aggravating to my peers. It just takes one good book to put the fun (not to mention momentum) back into reading again, kudos to that~

Aside from the dreams of death my mom and Winson's been having of me and the mysterious blue sex-ball floating around in the pond, camp's been cool. Our first ever Night Training acouple of days ago was a hoot, but damn was i exhausted.... i blame my fatigue on the frequent binging of the packets of "MAMEE" and "Chicken Rings" in our pantry. Their fucking MSG Bombs but damn do they taste gooood~

i've got quite a hand full of places to go to this weekend and i'm hoping to attend them all if i can. Sometimes i wish cars weren't so unaffordable. Or maybe hurry up and discover the science behind teleportation, im sure that'll soon make roads obsolete.

It's the 21st century after all, you'd figure this kinda stuff would have been invented by now. The world's moving faster now, only fair people learn to catch up to it...

in more ways than one~

2 steps forward, 1 step back~

2009-07-05T11:43:00.003+08:00

the Email finally came to announce our way overdue promotion from Private to Lance Corporal after being in the Army for more than a year now. We were supposed to be LCP since May but due to whatever processing delay, we only got it 2 mths later...

better late than never i suppose~

Went to my 10 year high school anniversary dinner 2 nights ago with a few of my old classmates. It's been a long time since i've set foot on the school grounds, lot of memories.. mostly bad ones, but that was a long time ago lol~

met acouple of my old teachers, non of them could recognize me anymore... i was incredibly low profile back then so im not surprized. Food was mediocre, the dinner shows were lame and i wasn't really paying attention to any of it to begin with... it was cool just to hang out with my friends i suppose, it didn't have to be over dinner at a formal event like this~

-------------------------------

Made the final preparations for my studies yesterday. All i have to do now is just show up for class in 2 weeks time~ i was feeling bold & took 3 modules for the upcoming semester...

-Journalism & News Broadcasting
-Public Relations
-Advertising

i'm definitely syched about it :)

headed over to Delphi to get my portfolio and stayed for some financial talk bout saving money and all that. it was okay, i thought it would be ment more for like "working class adults" but it was rather general, think young adults would have been able to relate to it as well, so yeah~

left town and headed to Tampines to meet V & had my first meal of the day at Carl Jr. before catching Revenge of the Fallen. Alot of people said it was awesome but most of them, knowing how my taste in movies depends mostly on plot and dialogue, said i might not enjoy it as much since it was just riddled with tons of CGI-ed fight scenes & very little character development...

so i kept an open mind... somehow i didn't think i would walk away from a Transformers movie cursing and swearing...

when i saw Optimus Prime drop of from the Helicopter and transform in slow motion i couldn't help but giggle like an 8 year old boy... i think the plot of alright, for a movie bout Alien Robots invading earth, it doesn't have to be so realistic~

Loads of fight scenes of both the Robot & Human kind... i think the movie was kinda showing off how advance the U.S. military is with their airships and submarines etc. there was a subtle "don't fuck with America" message in the whole thing, maybe u caught it as well~ lol

the other annoying thing bout the show was how it kept playing "21 Guns" & "New Divide" over and over again... their nice song & all but a lil variety would be nice~

overall the movie wasn't great or anything like that... but the fight scenes were rather epic. It failed to leave an impression on me but it took me on a journey and that's the next best thing a movie can give :)

u can't go wrong with a Transformers movie lah~

-------------------------------

Lastly, i'd like to wish a bunch of my friends born in July a happy 21st/22nd Birthday...

Every time u celebrate ur bday, u celebrate mine as well cause my bday's everyday and don't u forget it :)

i sing you to me~

2009-07-01T20:15:00.008+08:00

the start of the day,
for me...
begins once the music starts to play~

before i even put on my shoes, my earphones are dawned first. After taking a moment to scroll through the tracks... once the music starts, thats when the day can begin~

hello July!
Great things await me this month~
i look forward to the events that shall derive from it :)

a month that has brought rain to this humid land, and perhaps a little hope to new beginnings. Tons of birthdays to be celebrated in the upcomming weeks, not to mention my own. i have at least 7 parties to attend lol. "Woe is me" to have to decide which i friend i must forfeit seeing as how i can't possibly attend them all.

i spent most of the time in the Ops Room reading to Winson the "Macabre tales of Singapore and Malaysia in the 50's" aloud... it was this random Ghost storybook he'd randomly found and brought to the flight.

The pages were fallin out...
its illustrations substandard...
hahaha~

it was written by some Malayan Journalist named Othman Wok in the 50's and was published later by his eldest daughter in 1991. (so says the Preface...)

the stories where rather tame, not the least bit gruesome but fun to recite surprisingly. The language written was comparable to that of a high school student well-versed in his primary tongue. It lacks certain imagination & depth but to be fair, it was "old school" horror so much shouldn't be expected~

i finally finished watching "Australia" on my itouch after having uploaded it like a week ago. The landscape was like another character all by itself, not bad at all~ i quite liked the accents of Huge Jackman and Nicole Kidman in the movie too.

Couple of people died, which was sad, but understandable. Overall a well-to-do show, not exactly mind-blowing, but it did tickle my emotions just a bit...

Not a bad way to spend three hours :)

"Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be..."

ciao~

english summer rain~

2009-06-29T19:15:00.007+08:00

hello~
i hope u had a good weekend.

met up with ced & jess for dinner last saturday, i haven't met them for awhile now so it was nice seeing them again. Went for dinner at this Japanese Marche-type Restaurant at the basement of Heeren.

not too bad.. the price was "Okay" for food that was "alright". Never was a fan of Jap food, i'd usually just end up eating their "Western" meals there anyway. But i guess it was partially the company which set the tone...

bounced to Starbucks for a drink and talked till it got late~

but i think the highlight of my weekend was seeing Karen again :)
seventeen years is a long time and our trip to the café was much overdue. Drove to this neat place at Dempsey called "Jones the Grocer". It had this industrial looking, warehouse look with it's high ceilings and cement floor, lots of steel too... one would expect the glaring silver to make the place feel clinical and cold, but the reality was quite the contrary~

we sat down outside by the curve and re-introduced ourselves all over again... like meeting a new friend you've already met before, if that makes sense. It was really fun reminiscing and sharing each other's different memories from the past... we talked and talked till she had to go off to meet her mom~

i had a great time~

met Fazil about an hour after i got home for an evening run by the shore... weather's super sticky.. even in at night~ damn nuclear powerplants fuckin up the atmosphere... we're all gonna get cancer and die from it one day, i swear~

and that pretty much concludes my awesome weekend...
why aren't they showing "State of Play" in the movies anymore?! the fuck am i gonna do for tomoro now-_-

today's weather at the end was great... in addition to that, mother bought spam for tomorrow's breakfast.

im feeling really super :)

before and after~

2009-06-26T21:09:00.003+08:00

summer's been showing it's warm and sticky side these past few days... but that's okay, as long as it brings along a good storm~ i got my Confirmation letter to college today, been waiting for that letter since monday. Most probably headin down next week to finalize everything, course selection etc~

in relation to that, here are 10 jobs (in no particular order) i'd love to have in the future should god decide to grant me the fortune of obtaining any of these positions...

1. Travel Lifestyle Journalist

2. A Presenter on "Lonely Planet"

3. Host my own show on the Travel Channel

4. Cultural Anthropologist

5. Novel Writer

6. Freelance writer of travel and personal interest.

7. Food Critic

8. Wine Merchant

9. Have my own article column in TIME magazine

10. Correspondent for National Geographic

i doubt im even qualified for any of them to be honest, but im trying to see them as potential goals in which to strive for and not just a personal wish-list to be taken for granted~ contrary to the wine merchant thing of course, thats more of a retirement investment :p

im in desperate need of a camera or at least some kind of image capturing alternative, like a really good cellphone that takes pictures :) my blog needs something more appealing to look at other than a bunch of words & "copy n' paste"-es of stuff i get from the internet...

nothing too fancy either, just a simple digital camera with video functions oughta do, too many buttons would just confuse me anyway... all u need is the zoom functions and the snap + record button and we're all set for a day of shooting hahaha :)

last night was one of the most nostalgic nights i've ever had... i found an old old OLD friend through the wonders of the internet and we made plans to meet this Sunday for coffee~

i still remember the blissful fun times we had as kids~
that was 17 years ago...
pretty magical ain't it :)

The King of Pop passed away this morning... i never knew him, but i owned a couple of his CDs back in the day... or rather cassettes tapes~
u will be missed...

nontheless,
have a nice weekend.
i know i will~

man, my drinking skills have seriously decreased over the months... not that it's been extraordinary or anything like that in the 1st place, but at least it took me a few drinks before i got tipsy....

spam & eggs for breakfast then headed to Plaza Sing in the afternoon.... met up with mel and walked + talked from dhoby to far east then bugis and back to town again.

had a good ol' fashion burger for dinner before headin home... made plans to go timbre next friday so at least i'll have sometime to look forward to during the weekdays~

hmmmm.......
think if i buy a mahjong table you people will wanna come my house to play?

......................

i feel like drinking bandung sial~

there was nothin to watch on tv so i popped in the "Mama Mia" DVD while havin lunch and occasionally i'd pause from eating and cringe as the characters broke into song and dance like a weird fusion of Western Bollywood-ism....

i never understood musicals, it just lacks realism but the show had alot of physical expression i guess... then my dvd player started jerkin the picture so i just turned it off and went to do my chores~

later on i got hungry again but i'd already finish all the bacon the day before, there were these little bottles of salted pickles and spicy fermented tofu cubes in the fridge... (u know the kind u eat with porridge?)

so i grabbed a pot and tossed in some rice... etc~
i think its the 1st time i've ever cooked porridge so, i just stood by the stove and kept stirring to since i didn't know how long it'd be done~

so err, 20 mins later it was done and i had the weirdest self-made "snack" of porridge and pickled vegetables at 4 in the afternoon....

ok well, headin out now so... yeah... super weird day, tats all im saying~

magic moments with martyrdom~

2009-06-20T00:27:00.005+08:00

drove down to Far East last night with an old friend of mine to meet this tattoo artist for a consult on how to cover up the "eccentric" design on my back~ he suggested some ideas to me which i was quite fond of, but.. to cover up everything would take alot of work, alot of money, and a whole lot of pain~

im gonna end up with an entire back piece... tats pretty intimidating, even for me~ he tells me its gonna cost, at the very least, 2-3k which is practically impossible for me to conjure up since im onli gettin a measly 400 bucks a mth -_-

and even if i somehow struck the lottery and had tat amount of cash, its gonna take btw 7-10 sessions... each session being probably 3-4 hours long... all of which, most likely to hurt immensely :(

but i really want it done, guess i'd just gotta start savin i suppose~ it's only a matter of time~

-----------------------------

took Leave today from work to go down to Dhoby to register for my school. im totally psyched about it, can't wait :) met R later to watch "i love you, man"... tat movie's totally hilarious!! its witty and funny and quite different from other "chick-flicks"... though i wouldn't really categorize it as one~

but nontheless...
its a really sweet film and i give it a whooping 8.5 outt've 10.
woo hoo~

went to Blue Urban later with cas for a bite and chatted for a bit... haven't seen her in a while so yeah, it was cool... can't believe she's flying off to aussie for 5 mths~

everyone around me's going off to some foreign country for mths on end & im still stuck here to cook in this unrelenting humidity that constantly surrounds this damn island-_-

gawwd~

runway cycling this sunday.... i hope they don't call us back for it, i've already made plans -_-

and now im off to bed~

above the rest~

2009-06-17T22:25:00.003+08:00

we got our new seaweed uniform today... looks like shit but feels really light and soft to the touch~ brings back alot of memories bout my days in tekong. The prestige still goes on too.. people still raise an eyebrow when u reveal u were from Ninja Company~

doubt i'd be wearing it anytime soon though... Air Force Personel much prefer the colour blue...

school's starting, can't wait.. be good and wish me luck~

over and out..

short stories~

2009-06-13T23:24:00.004+08:00

yesterday's impromptu trip to Vivocity was quite delightful~ the walkin around took my mind of certain things which i felt had been hovering in my thoughts for far too long...

there was this event going on in the middle of the place which featured foreign designers sellin their wears at a nifty price. Bought a cool vintage tee for only $15 bucks there... so i was quite content :)

caught "The Taking of Pelham 123" at GV, not a bad movie at all.. very "New York City" if u know wad i mean... i give it an 8 out of 10~

--------------------

i went to the library this morning...

i spent a long time lookin at all the different books and deciding which of them were worth my time to even, so much as open the first page... i take ages to choose a book i really like.

But i seldom read story books, im more of a reference reader if u will.. history, cookbooks, literature, tat sort of thing~

so like, after an hour or so, i finally choose these elite few which i'm carrying in my hand and i walk over to the do-it-yourself machine thingy and realized that, oh shit, i forgot to bring my wallet.

so there i was, after browsing at all the many books having finally chosen the few which i wanted and theres no way for me to check them out~

so i was like fuck it and just go home... hid the books somewhere near the Chinese section. Figured no one would go lookin for them there since most of the librarians were malay..

i got home and there was my wallet on my dresser where i had left it the night before when i realized, "hey..." i don't have an IC to borrow books with... i need to use my EZ link. which i've already been carrying around with me the whole time~

"fuck me..."

--------------------

headed down to Bugis later that day for dinner then walked around Junction and Street hoping to find some good bargins..... found none~

bounced to Haji but found nothing there as well... as much as i have great faith in the "walking-around-aimlessly-in-hopes-something-cool-will-reveal-itself" phenomenon, it was starting to look futile~

we made a final attempt to go to check out the Iluma. Didn't think there was anything special in there to begin with but found this neat store with cool Tees going at a cheap rate.

u gotta luve the great sg sale man... bought 3 shirts from there and thanked the cute sales girl as we headed home with great satisfaction :)

it's not just girls, guys feel happy too when we shop~

--------------------

im missin my mates from Ninja... its our 1 year anniversary and we gotta party like its 1987...

VIVA LA NINJA COY!~

raja-laba-laba~

2009-06-11T20:01:00.003+08:00

tomoro marks the one year anniversary of me being in the army for... well, a whole year~ and today, marks the "one year to go" mark for when i ORD~

i had a good day today... kinda made up for last night's incident which i thought would've ruined my whole week~
but i feel good today... so yeah :)

my back hurts, feels like some one elbowed it.. but i haven't been tied up recently so im wondering wad's the cause... think im not sleepin in the right position or something, maybe its the damn jerking of the vehicles, i dunno~

i need a back rub & some HELLO PANDAS...

kaybye~

i need a translator~

2009-06-01T20:27:00.006+08:00

a friend of mine sent me some chinese songs which, i had happened to mention, sounded "catchy" when i first heard them on the radio... i put them in my itouch and i've been listening to them at over and over again obediently in hopes it will improve my mother tongue~

the advice given by my friends were to..
no.1, Speak more Chinese~
unfortunately most of them have given up trying to converse to me in Mandarin. So, advice number 1... FAIL

next was to.. "Watch more Chinese TV shows"~
wad, those wacky variety shows from Taiwan? hell no~ & if ur talkin bout the local drama shows on channel 8, come on -_- anyone who knows me knows im not into that~
Advice number 2, FAIL

last one's to "Listen to Chinese Music"~
now this one's more do-able... and to be honest, some of the Music's actually nice :)

the 1st song i've ever thought worthy of uploading into my mp3 player back in my poly days was "Qing Tian" from Jay Chou... my guitar teacher thought me tat song and even he was Malay~

i tried downloading a few more and slowly a pattern emerged... the Piano seemed to be the instrument of choice in most of the songs, every song seemed to sound the same... it was hard to tell them apart~

even the song titles had to be changed to the "Han Yue Ping Ying" version or i'd won't be able to read it~ it was such a pain to catagorize them... so i gave up and went back to Foo Fighters & Panic at the disco~

that is, until now....

most of it still kinda sounds boring, but some are nice lah... most i got are from Jay Chou and Wang Lee Hom... i love "Xin Tiao"~ its really sweet... no idea wad it means but catchy nontheless :)

oh, i saw this Flyer in the notice board next to my lift about some Chinese tution class for P4-6 or something... i read the 1st line and was like, WTF -_-

"PLAYING WITH WORD. Available both for chinese and other racers.

Learn around 1,000 the most frequently used words in 1 year, kids can read Mandarin story more easily.

Traditional chinese "San Zi Jing" inclueded"

spotted any mistakes?
not only are there hideous spelling errors, the Grammar is just fucked from the start.

"Play with word"? like.. just one?
oh, and racers can learn to, the F1 kind~

"Learn around 1,000 the most frequently used words in 1 year"
the fuck does this even mean?!

then there's "inclueded"
si mi lan jiao eh this one, no excuse to get this wrong!!! -_-

ihope i won't be sacrificing one language for another~
BEH~

oh singapura~

2009-05-31T09:35:00.004+08:00

Friday's trip to Malaysia was a blast... ever since i renewed my passport a couple of weeks ago, it was like the possibilities where endless... i held in my hands my very own personal document of Freedom~

it was great knowing i could leave in a moments notice...

the last time i left the country was on the 4th of June 1998 to Indonesia... its now 2009, that was 11 years ago. Imagine my excitement when i crossed the line into another country and saw that the lamp posts where red instead of Grey, with an eccentric bend of steel curled to the side with 2 potted plants dangling very so gracefully from the tips~

Imagine my exhilaration as hundreds of motorbikes and Protons with the letter "J" fronting every plate number reigned over the slightly reddened streets of Jorhor~

the little differences also amused me, like how everything's spelled in Malay... "Exit" is called "Keluar", Restrooms called "Tandas"... the word "Tandas" doesn't even sound like toilet... if it weren't for the picture of the Male and Female logo i would've figured it for a storage room or something~

there are no Hi-rises in Malaysia... which makes it look pretty rural but a relief to me in some way... having all the buildings built so low makes the sky look bigger... u could look up and see everything~ it may not have been the most breath-taking view of a picture perfect blue sky but at least u could see it, u know...

Actually the difference between Singapore and Malaysia doesn't really differ that far... they pretty much had the same stuff we have cept cheaper and.. well, sometimes even better... but development wise, i would say SG takes the cake~

things aren't as clean, certain infrastructures aren't as well developed... basically most of the superficial stuff like the roads being a bit Off & all that, is sightly flawed compared to Singapore's...

but the thing that makes me overlook these minor discrepancies were the people~
you'd never find people behaving like this in Singapore cause everyone here is friendly as Shit...

i wouldn't say its cause they were constantly happy like they just won the lottery or anything like that... its more of the impression they gave me...

that their here to live...
to go about their lives, to survive..
and to do so peacefully & with respect~

im walkin around City Square lookin at all the people and not one, NOT ONE OF THEM gave me the "Guai Lan" look you'd often see in the faces of Singaporeans... everyone was pleasant, like one big family.... i heard stories bout how they'd judge u by the colour of ur skin or how everyone there'll try n cheat u of ur money when they see ur not local... that any moment u can get robbed or some guy would just stab u for bumping into him...

i felt non of that hostility~

i walked around with my head held high, smiling at everyone who so much as looked in my direction:) being in a strange country, not knowing anybody there... its extremely liberating... i felt this constant wave of self-confidence and empowerment, like the laws don't apply to me... like i could do wadever i wanted...

being a tourist gave u unique privileges the locals weren't entitled to... u could walk up to a stranger and strike up a random conversation and no one would think twice that ur some weirdo cause ur not, ur a tourist... a visitor in our country who means us no harm~

it's a great way to express urself, i fucking luved that :)

Omg, and the food! holy shit was that ever the highlight of the day~ Duck ever so succulent to the taste, Dumplings the size of ur palm, fish with the taste of the sea, Deer meat in all it's splendor!!!
(i could go on... )

both dinner and lunch, all under S$40... so divided by 2 people, tats 20 bucks per person... and all, with the taste, quality and portion fit for Kings and Superstars alike~

think the only trouble i had over there was that of communication... SM had to do almost all of the verbal transaction, accept for the movie ticket.. i bought that since the ticket girl was Malay... but i bet her mandarin would've been better than mine anyway~

Looking up at the night sky above after dinner made clear that it was late, and it was time to go home... all my life, since i can remember.. i've hated Singapore... i hated the govt, the rules, the restrictions, the lifestyle, the people... i found no good reason to ever wanna stay, even when comparing sg to msia... sg lost~

but... for some strange reason.... i actually wanted to go back~

& i hated myself for feelin tat way, but it was home... seeing the MRT again didn't exactly make me overflow with patriotism~ and hearing the Singporean accent being spoken again instantly turned me off. i didn't feel glad to be back at all...

but, it was home i suppose... i spent all my life living here, we're creatures of habit afterall...

the only thing i can embrace from this is the fact that i have the choice to leave... the option to 'get-out'~

think i'll just hold on to tat idea for now..
& maybe brush up on my "lahs" & "lors" in the mean time~

-peace-

carpe diem~

2009-05-29T00:43:00.002+08:00

movies, food, drinks?
oh my~

sometimes i really can't appreciate how lucky i am being in the Air Force...

heading overseas tomoro & im never coming back.

peace-

fool's gold~

2009-05-25T20:35:00.005+08:00

May's a month of great financial difficulty not only to me, but coincidentally to the people around me as well... im beginning to feel the squeeze of gettin just a mere 400 dollars a mth, not that i haven't already, but a recent series of events have lead me to use more than wad i normally would~

even so, i must try my best to conserve my finances any way i can... it is most unfortunate i was not one of those born with silver spoons or other lavish silverware in my mouth, most of us aren't... but we make do with wad we have and appreciate the simpler things in life which the rich are rare to experience~

my weekend was a hectic one & i shall not elaborate...
but one mentionable would be that the blaze is still imminent. The air is dry as dust and the winds rarely blow~

the scientists were right, the end of the world is forthcoming...

hong gan~

journey to the west~

2009-05-18T21:44:00.004+08:00

the journey to the west actually started in the north when i went to Yishun to meet sm, who, in turn, was to meet the infamous "Mark from ITE" for a moment of avid discussion regarding the risky pastime of football betting... shortly after, they exchanged goodbyes and we proceeded to the Orchid Country Club for a round of pool~

though slight improvement was shown, im far from becoming an expert in the sport... wandered around a bit before headin to Boon Lay for a peak at the so called 2nd 'Vivocity'~

this is the 1st time i've actually been to the west... never had a reason to go so i never did. it was the first time i heard the robot lady in the train say "Kranji" and "Woodlands Station".

then she goes on further with some stuff bout wad bus to take to go to Malaysia, blah blah blah... no one gives a shit bout the buses robot lady!

as the train rode by, i gazed out thru the windshield lookin at the scenery and how different everything looked. The buildings, the landmarks, even the people... the West seems to have like, more space compared to the east.. theres like, huge pieces of land for u to have a picnic in or fly a kite. which is nice~

so we get to Boon Lay, and right off the bat theres a ton of immigrants roaming around which doesn't even make it seem like im in the right country anymore~ and the Interchange looks like a 24hr Pa-sa-mah-lam... no idea wad tat's about.

Jurong Point itself is a labyrinth of random shops thrown together with no real classification or order~ the apparel stores can just be next to the tech shop, who's next to the food stands, which is next to GV -_-

the lack of strategic placement and the shit loads of people who frequent the area just makes it too freakin confusing for me to appreciate anything really... i needed to get outt've there, and we did. Walked to the SAFRA afew blocks away and attempted to take some pictures with sm's fancy camera but all we got was a badly focused road sign and a picture of some tree~

when we were back on the train i kept lookin at how far i was from home... West side's way too crazy for me... i much prefer the tranquility of the East :)

today in flight we experienced one of the windiest days in a long time... it rained and the clouds made the sky seem like it was almost time for bed when it was barely noon~ burned the hours away Patapon-ing and tossin snails into the fish tank...

met Fadzil for a run around Pasir Ris in the evening... its been months since i last went jogged, it felt good. im surprised i still have a decent amount of stamina to run non-stop~

i wonder why Tang San Zang never considered focusing his journey more to the East... im sure he would've found it far more formidable & less resistant...

wadever lah.. & im sorry shawn, but Boon Lay scares me...
and ur a fool of a toook~

East side ftw~

the top~

2009-05-16T14:05:00.003+08:00

i woke up yesterday at around 8-ish in the morning after SM called me n told me to go get ready... we took Off today so i could go make my passport and then just chill the rest of the day away. i would've slept more but everyone keeps saying the que at the immigration place would take forever if u reach there past 10, so i digressed...

it was nice havin the house to myself in the morning... everyone had gone to work n it was nice and quiet... it's been awhile since i'd had the house to myself so i took the chance to walk around in my undies and bathe with the shower door wide open... its incredibly liberating, u should try it sometime :)

i got dressed, grabbed my stuff then left the house... had a minor confusion bout where i had alighted until i saw SM in the far ground.. Lavander station looks exactly like Bugis, anyone would've made that mistake -_-

the lady at the immigration desk said my passport's too outdated and i need to go make a new one. she gave me a form and sent me on my way. the "making" process took like 10mins. there was no que or anything, and it was pretty much a self-service experience. since i couldn't renew my passport, i didn't need to get in line for anything... we were outta that building by 10.30~

walked over to Beach Road to have good ol'fashion hawker style breakfast then walked around abit passin all the nic-nac shops around the area... there tons of random old school stuff over there... its like the area just stopped development at 1985...

headed to Bugis where SM brought me to this Guan Ying Temple to pray. we went to a shop nearby and bought this flower with a burly bud the likes of which i've never seen before... its ment to be an offering to the gods or something.. looks pink, kinda like a lotus but it wasn't... or maybe it was i wouldn't know~

she opened the bud up and handed us each a stalk. then we made our way to the temple not too far away.

he tells me to face the outside and pray to the "Outside God" first then face inside and pray to the "Inside God". i can't remember their names... Ti-Gong, or Tian-Gong, wadever~

i say hello to both, stick my jossticks into the pot and went inside... place my flower into a vase, prayed a bit more then took some magic candy from the bowl. Theres this giant red mat in the middle of the hall and everyone's doing that "shake-the-wishsticks-out-of-the-thing-and-see-if-god-grants-you-anything" ritual. i asked him if we could do that, and he said yeah~

we both took a shaker & the red moon shaped dices, took our shoes off and kneeled down just like everybody else was doing. i took his lead on the whole process. Whenever he prayed, i'd pray... if he started shaking i'd start shaking... when he thru the dice, so did i~

i had no idea wad i was doing lah really... but it was fun~

my stick dropped out and i was like...

me:"so wad does the this say?"
SM:"i dunno, u must go ask the uncle"
me:"wad about the dice? wads this mean?"
SM:"it means 'yes'"
me:"yes to wad?"
SM:"yes to wad u asked for"
me:"..........."
me:"awesome~"

put my shoes back on and went to get my fortune, it said i was a "Mighty Bird" that "flies to heights other birds could not attain" and that "Every good thing comes naturally."

that pretty much made my day knowing god had my back :)

we walked around then went to Bugis Street to look at Ah Lians & laugh at the Ah Bengs~ i bought an expensive lookin watch from a shady dealer & checked out some accessories before headin to Bugis Junction to meet J. She looked very pretty that day as she emerged from the escalator, would've complimented her but i was much too shy~ we went to a nearby pool house and shot off a couple of rounds before she had to leave for work.

walked her back then took a bus to Boat Quay & loitered before route marching to "Hong Lin" for Char Kwey Tiao & juice~ Trained to Dhoby and walked over to the National Museum but there wasn't much going on tat day to really have much fun in unfortunately... so we went to Fort Canning & trekked all the way to City Hall..

by this point we'd done alot of walkin already and our feet were killin us... but it didnt really matter. we had nothing but time on our hands to wander & explore~ u know how every time whenever you'd go out and you'd see something or somewhere unique that caught ur eye but ur always in too much of a hurry gettin to the places u need to be to wanna stop and take a look, only to promise urself u'd go back one day & check out the place when ur free... but u never do...

well today was one of those days for us... we had no plans when we left the house today other than to get the passports done. and we really didn't give a shit wad we'd do or where we'd go. Just being OUT while knowing everyone else was stuck in camp was enough to keep us smilin thru the day :)

we took that opportunity to explore every random shop and building that crossed our path before breaking at Raffle's City where we had chillers at Gloria Jeans to help take the heat off our backs. 5 mins into it, we wiped out our PSPs and Patapon-ed for abit before headin out again...

trekked to bugis one last time before i went to meet Rick for the 1850hr "Angels & Demons" SM walked around with us for abit before headin home...

i haven't watched a movie at Bugis in a long long time but i don't remember their theaters ever being so big~ it was really huge inside, as big at 3 football fields infact. i was quite impressed had it not been for the builders lack of common sense to install lights on the rows to see where ur seat is. yeah, their seat alphabets don't light up... u have to use ur cellphone to see if ur in the right row -_-

having watched the Davinci Code on a previous occasion, i figured the movie would be a sequel the already renown film, but after watchin it, i was delighted to be wrong~

it took on a whole new story, not bout finding the Holy Grail or referencing much to the bible, but this time it was more on the history and conspiracies within the walls of the Vatican City. But although less on Jesus, it still involves the Illuminati and... well, just go watch it for urself & u'll know wad i mean~

It's an exhilarating film with astonishing sceneries of Rome & its Divine Churches.. that, fused with a constantly twisting plot makes this movie a must watch on my list~

after the show we went to this homely steakhouse between the stretch of restaurants for dinner and conversation... thought we heard a fight going down next door but turned out to be just a bunch of drunk ppl talkin too loudly~

by then it was almost midnight so we decided to call it a day and went our separate ways... went home, changed and bathed with the door closed this time~

this morning i woke up to an empty house again to my delight... i turn on my music and comfortably did some chores around the house and organized some of my shit... after lunch i watched some tv and had the urge to recount yesterday's events.

so much happened yesterday, i didn't know where to begin~

think i'd just start from the top...

Every director often adds his or her own unique touch to their movies...
be it perhaps a certain scripted theme whatever, every director does it...

M. Night had his crazy wtf plot twists at the end of every movie, Tarentino did his whole "no bullshit/inyourface" jizz of the real world at its most horrid best. Scorsese managed to bring his gangster themed ideas into the silver screen & Spielberg made every movie seemed like it was a great tale told from a giant storybook in the sky~

its these little personal touches that the directors incorporate in their films which make it so remarkable in their own independent way~ it may not seem as obvious at first, but as u start following their productions, u'd slowly come to see a pattern emerging.

its hard to explain. Afterall, im not at all profound in elaborating creativity at its most displayed nor is it easy describing how it feels like after watching any one of their extraordinary films....

so i won't...

i'd leave it to u to find out for yourselves... to watch, and experience it the same way i have. i doubt our reactions or opinions would be the same but who cares really...

just enjoy it~
should u choose to accept or reject the statement it made is ur own prerogative... its just a figment of reality casted into a fictional tale of what is or was, has been or will be~ or just a tale bout dragons and elves~

thats just my take on it~

wad about yours?

i caught Watchmen again for the second time last night, it still gave me the same satisfaction from when i watched it the first time. fkin love that movie~

i've been on the hunt for old school cult classics like "Pulp Fiction" & "Dog Day Afternoon". After watching the 1981 Evil Dead trilogy, there was a sudden appeal to watch all these gritty films.

a couple on the list are:
-Reservoir Dogs
-The Usual Suspects
-American History X
-Donnie Darko
-Requiem For A Dream
-Dead Poet Society
-Casablanca

just to name a few...

a couple of them were actually nominated to be the best movies of all time. i plan to validate that claim personally & its kinda fun too, i feel like a professional film critic going round putting my own stake on what's hot n what's not~

i recently caught The International at the new theater down at the sparkly building at Bugis, Iluma they call it.

dont be expecting an ending,(or a decent storyline for that matter) cause there isnt one. quiet the disappointment indeed.
a big WTF to Mr Clive Owen~

oh, another piece of advise...
if Jet li calls u & tells ur mother to go to the market to buy vegetables, ur fucked..
cause big brother is always right~

the rain this morning was a great addition to my morning... even though it didn't contribute much to decreasing the weather's humidity, at least it cleared out the clouds washed away some in the bad juju of the land~

left for the base at 9am instead of the usual 6.30am cause of the shift changes... which was great, all work should begin at 9 if u ask me... people shouldn't even be allowed to wake up if the sun hasn't even done so yet....

Eden wore his sexy tee today to attempt to seduce me... i wasn't allured -_- i think he misses me too much since i havent been out training with them for the past few days.. the dynamic duo wasn't at its full potential~ he's gotta learn to quit given me too many gay vibes.. him and his crazy eyebrowns~

Sau Ming took me to the Cucumber patch at the other end of the fields... there werent much harvest left.. just the few~ we sat on the mountain of rock n stone n talked before shawn n jH came over with the metal rod of DOOM informing us of their capture of a mythical red cricket the size of yr palm...

towards the source we ran... an empty first aid kit was were the creature laid huddled at the corner of the red crossed container~ Expired packets of Bandages where scattered all over the ground, i retrieved one n attempted to mummify winson with one of the lengthy linen... however, it quickly backfired onto me n i soon found myself being jumped by my 10 other teammates...

the battle was on, 10 vs 1... the 1st few to lead the assault were jH & eden... then Rajan came from the back n subdued my arms... i thrashed about wildly using mostly momentum and their weights against them. i'd manage to escape for a while onli to be pounced by another... this went on for a good 5 mins... i fought a good fight but alas, there were just too many...

being finally pinned down by Sau Ming's face sleeper hold, i resisted to my last breath... the final invasion left me shoeless on one foot and tied from head to toe, bounded at arms n feet in the taut fabric...

had SM "bankai-ed" me then n there i would've hurled for sure lol... they carried me to the bench n timed my escape while setting the loose ends of the knots on fire as thought they were fuse wires~

as cruel as it sounds, i had a great day :)

the bloated frog found at the end was an addition too, but there wasn't much time for (toad)baseball then... so we digressed n headed back to flight~

weather's still a potential for contracting mad cow... i'd advise everyone to refrain from dawning any form of apparel as a precaution against heat injuries~

seriously thought, take off all your clothes...

the guy's plucked some baby cucumbers growing at the training grounds in the afternoon when i was back at the flight doing FOS duty...

at least thats wad it looked like...
a cucumber...

could've been a pickle or something else, i dunno~

sau ming tricked me into eating one of them... he said it was really sweet & everyone else had already tried it but me.

i took a bite... it tasted bitter, like a toad~

i threw the remainder into the trash n went to check out wad everyone else was doing...

the weather's horrid, it feels like ur having a fever constantly.... i believe further exposure to it will onli induce further risk of developing Mad Cow~

i do not wish to have mad cow...

gawd damn i luv "thinker" movies...

i love how they make u feel... like, at the end of it how u'd wonder if whether or not that particular event may ever occur in real life... and if it did, whether u'd react any differently... whether u'd still be the same person~

i luv how it can take u to places ur mind would never thought to imagine, different scenarios of past n present "could-haves" & "what-ifs"... it plays back n forth in ur mind even after the show... & still keeps u wondering days after~

i love the stimulation it gives me~
i love thinker movies... some ppl think it might be boring but i always feel smarter once i leave the theater after watching one~

sometimes the most scariest things that can be portrayed in movies are just detailed reflections of things that happen everyday in the real world~

which is why i guess i never did have a liking for the horror genre, cause even though ghosts n zombies can be scary, theres nothing more terrifying then whats already happening in the world today~

the "thinkers" & the "talkers"... i love movies like tat~
either have an elaborate, new & realistic concept for a movie or one with a great script with ideas and perspectives on life and love for me to wanna watch it in the big screen~

but hey, the occasional "shoot'em up" shows are still cool too :)

i wanna learn a language... a different language.
i wanna be able to speak it with the up most of fluency, be able to write, spell & read every intricate stroke & character of its literature...
be it French, or even Mandarin for that matter... especially Mandarin -_-

its hard living in singapore n not being able to communicate with more than 80% of the population. Its frustrating... and frankly, sometimes i wish i wasn't so "ang mor pai".

I'm Asian, i was born in Asia, n even though i don't really like the lifestyle here, its still part of my heritage n i wish to cultivate that which makes it uniquely oriental about living on the Eastern Continents...

i wanna embrace its culture and i want my kids to practice it as well... from my point of view, i think language makes up more than half of the lifestyle. The more Mandarin u speak, Mandarin more cheena your gonna be... & vice versa~

i tried speakin chinese for a day when i was still in poly once... drove everybody crazy... but i think my mandarin's improved reasonably after enlisting.. well sort of, maybe my friend would beg to differ~

be that as it may, i still wanna keep improving... im leavin alot of doors locked by not being able to converse in our country's "national language". But to be honest, i dont even know where to start...

Channel 8 perhaps?
or maybe at K-box...

imma start saying "wei?" instead of "Hello" when i pick up the phone next time... maybe it'll start a trend...

when i was a kid i used to beg my mom to buy me a kinder Surprise everytime she went to the store... most of the time she wouldn't, sayin it was a waste of money n all tat.. but every 100 years or so when the planets aligned, she'd bring home for me an egg or 2, at which point i'll flip out at the sight of them...

the chocolate was shit of course, everyone knew tat... kids just wanted the toy, (regardless of how crappy it maybe...) and for a brief moment, existence as we knew it would come to a dramatic stand-still as we opened the tiny packaging to reveal the hidden treasure residing within...

i loved that shit as a kid~
then Ferrero decided to stop manufacturing them n crushed the hopes & dreams of millions of innocents all over the world... i always thought it was a great novelty gimmick, never did know why they canceled it~

and so. Kinder Surprise was no more, but a couple of years later, Kinder JOY was introduced to the world with a cheesy commercial with 2 brats and a mom who succeeds in providing them with both the sweet sugary goodness of chocolate and a delightful toy at the same time~

instead of having a fragile layer of white chocolate encase the mystery toy, its concept was now focuses on the egg's internal content, meaning the egg white and egg yolk (or egg yolks for tat matter) instead of a chocolaty shell, Kinder JOY consisted of a soft milky white chocolate & not 1, but 2 chocolate balls with hazel nut filling and waffle chips drizzled on it...

i have no idea why there's 2 egg yolks in the egg.. their onli gonna confuse the 2 year olds further... y couldnt they just put the 2 yolks together n make one giant yolk ball?

the toy i got was this.. weird, some 2cent rubber totem of a "see-no-evil" tiki head ment to be place on the top of a pencil for, i dunno... decoration purposes, like anyone bothers to decorate a Pencil -_-~

perhaps it's got unprecedented abilities which allows the user's drawings to come to life or some voo doo shit like tat... or maybe its just a random doo hicky in a chocolate egg~

i googled kinder JOY to see wad kinda prizes there were and it seemed some of them were pretty cool, like robots and jigsaw puzzles etc... i wondered y i got the see-no-evil tiki totem instead of the other cool stuff, maybe it was some kinda cosmic irony the gods of fate felt humorous to bestow upon me... or maybe im just too old for this shit~

annnnnyway... should've tossed the lil tiki head out but decided to keep it cause im cool tat way. brought it home n found a nice pen to stick it onto... gonna put it in my bag n carry it around with me, see if anything cool happens when i whip it out...

think imma call him fred~
fred the see-no-evil tiki totem of doom....

kay off to bed :p

i got myself an ipod touch & neat-o speakers from the IT fair today :)
there was a shit load of people... i had to right click n bash them with my weapon just to get thru~

traveled up n down the lvls like 20 times cause i went to meet so many ppl there... it was onli about 7pm when i finally got home to fiddle with my newly bought toys :)

now my bedroom's just one big Disco-tec~
im blastin Viva La Vida like theres no tomoro but quickly turned it down before i alerted ma mère~

but alas, she demanded i play some weird theme song from her korean drama show... n i was like.... "sacrebleu ma ma!!! i would sooner die than allow u to defile the sanctity of my ipod's musical preference!"

n she was like... "siao -_-" & continued with her paperwork~

i'd like to believe i have good taste in music...
i also like people having similar taste in music with me for some reason~ think im not the onli one tat applies to that logic...

lets see now...
-Lava Lamp
-Stereo System
-abstract wall art
*check

all i need now's a lounge bar, some romantic lighting & an Leopard-spotted rug & my bachelor pad will be complete :)

Rorschach's Journal, 1985~

2009-03-08T11:23:00.004+08:00

this movie could be summed up with two words, Sex & Violence... theres lots of both in there, maybe a lil more of one than the other... but i'd like to give Alan Moore a bit more recognition than just 2 words...

this movie is, to me, by far the most intellectual comic book movie ever produced... its not the typical "Good guy defeats bad guy, rescues girl & saves the world" routine, the storyline's one that far proceeds that of any orthodox script.

it's raw and gritty and delightfully gruesome in its own morbidly despondent way~ a confusing tale of Vigilantism at it's most corrupt... of Heros who cause more evil than they do justice...

Ultimately this is movie about theses few things...

its about the greater good... its about the malice men are capable of, be it for good or evil.... and how sometimes, it takes abit of suffering to bring people closer together~

maybe a nuclear holocaust isn't so bad afterall...
*curtains close~

oh so pretty~

sometimes i can't believe wad an amazingly awesome vocation im in.... theres so many up & coming events involving our unit and the RSAF itself. its like havin a house on the beach, or workin in a chocolate factory :)

i had fun the other day at the AMS cohesion, not to mention the ultimate LEFT 4 DEAD session Shawn, Me & Tommy had after that.... although i must say, the weather these days are insanely calescent, almost cancerous, if u will....

my mother n sister left for Thailand two days ago...
i've never felt more at ease~
every morning i wake up feeling so liberated from them, it feels great~ having the freedom to do as i please n provide for my own needs, its rather up lifting, i do so thoroughly enjoy it :) not that i dont miss them cause i do...
but until they come back, im gonna enjoy every moment of their absence while i still can~

i've caught a number of movies in the past few weeks... just yesterday i saw "He's just not that into you" with Cassy. And last week, "Slumdog Millionaire" with Rick. Both of which were remarkable. so, i decided to list my very own personal top 10 movies, just for fun...

and here they are, by order of release:

1. The Breakfast Club (1985)
2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
3. Before Sunrise (1995) / Before Sunset(2004)
4. The Sixth Sense (1999)
5. Unbreakable (2000)
6. Gladiator (2000)
7. The Last Samurai (2003)
8. Collateral (2004)
9. The Lake House (2006)
10.The Departed (2006)

i left out Dark Knight & Transformers since they'd be obvious choices on anyone's Top 10 list. Yes, there are two M. Night Shyamalan films there... and for the record, my favourite Secret Agent is Jason Bourne NOT James Bond, be it the new aged Danial Craig films or the old ones...

he had way to many gizmos to begin with anyway~

in other affairs, a recent indepth conversation with the best friend at her place whilst lazing on her bed, stroking her lavished Persian Cat, gave me a sort of morbid hope that things would get better, that everything would eventually work itself out n the bigger picture would soon reveal its intentions to us...

i've never been one to believe in hope... but i believe in dreams and in some paradox, their both one in the same~

so i end of this post giving cheers to the everlasting friendships i've made and/or rekindled in these past few months... may they last till the age of my children & theirs to come...

Au revoir~

never too late for cny pictures~

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)
Born: Hardin County, Kentucky
Died: Washington, D.C.

He was the 16th president of the United States & served 4 years in office before he was shot by John Wilkes Booth in 1865, becoming the 1st president to have ever been assassinated.

During his term, he managed successfully lead the country through the Civil Wars and put an end to slavery.

Lincoln has been considered a martyr for the ideal of national unity and human rights. Now his face is on 5 dollar bill of the U.S. currency, and had the Lincoln Memorial built in his honor~

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it."

-----------------

John F. Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)
Born: Brookline, Massachusetts
Died: Dallas, Texas at the age of 46

born John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy, he was the 35th President of the United States, serving for 2 years before his assassination in 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime but was murdered a mere two days later by Jack Ruby before he could even be put on trial.

Some officials speculate a possibility of a conspiracy, but wadever it may be, the event proved to be an important moment in U.S. history because of its impact on the nation and the ensuing political repercussions.

During that time of shaky ties with foreign countries, JFK managed to construct many Foreign Policies that proved effective in some way to promote bilateral ties between countries like Russia & Veitnam.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

-----------------

Barack Obama (August 4, 1961 - the ends of time)
Born: Honolulu, Hawaii
Married to: Michelle Obama

the 44th and current President of the United States. He's also the first African American president to be elected. Having been inaugurated recently on January 20, 2009, he ran an extraordinary campaign that emphasized on ending the Iraq War and providing universal health care to americans.

He promised "change" to the American public and displayed his ability to lead during the economic crisis of '08.

Many people are counting on him to solve many of the catastrophes that we are facing today. We trust that Yes, he can...

"There's not a liberal America and a conservative America. There's the United States of America. "

Phua Chu Kang aka. Kang kang
(September 25, 1997 – February 11, 2007 )
Occupation: CEO of PCK Pte Ltd

he was the poster boy for Singapore's Singlish speaking dialog, having kids going round saying "don't pray pray" thinkin its cool to sound like a fool.

first airing in 1996, he made multiple cameos in many local sitcoms and even appeared in an episode of The Amazing Race which have left many Singaporeans ridiculed under the eyes of foreigners watching from abroad..

in the 2003 SARs pandemic, he appeared in a 4min long music video called "The Sar-vivor Rap", again, putting us in an awkward position in the eyes of our neighbouring countries.

After 8 seasons and 167 episodes, the last season of the show was aired on October 31, 2006. But even after that, they managed to produce a Musical simply titled, "Phua Chu Kang - the Musical" which was a box office disaster n may have proved to be the death knell to any future Singaporean musical productions, proving he's neither any good in Singapore, Jorhor Baru or Batam for that matter...

this is who we have...
this is who we have to show for...
when great leaders and public figures of the world are called forth from every country all over the world to give hope and purpose in our dire times...
this is who will be choosen~

thus, causing me be bleed out from cardiac arrest having stabbed myself in the chest from the sheer embarrassment...

"Use ur blane"

i implore u....

up up & away~

yesterday was, i think, the 5th anniversary of the Airfield Maintenance Squadron. They held this cohesion day thing at Marina Square. everyone from all the various units came down, the head hunchos of all the 4 bases gave some speeches then we all went to play bowling and free video games at the arcade & bowling alley outside the cinema for like 2 hrs before headin to the buffet line..

having the entire arcade's games available to u for free is like, i would think, every 5 yr old kid's dream... u can just, start a game, fool around with it for a bit then just move over to the other one n not even give a shit if ur loosing or wadever... n u can never loose, just keep pressin the start button whenever the countdown timer to continue flashes on the screen... i don't even know how to explain the coolness of this situation~

this was probably the 6th or so event we've been to since we got posted to the Air Force... its a pretty good life over here, tats for sure~ the Major made it a point to have at least one get-together of all the squads every 2 mths.... talk about welfare ey? :)

after a prize givin ceremony and a couple more speeches, we watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and ate popcorn (both of which fully paid for of course) before callin it a day.

a couple of us cabbed over to Tommy's place to play some Mahjong and, if there was time to spare, perhaps a little Left4dead.... after all, the following day was a friday and it wasn't an Off day which, i thought kinda reframed us from havin too much fun...

it never ceases to amaze me how much i always seem to learn more bout the chinese culture... i've rarely hang out with cheena ppl, i hate it when they'd speak amongst themselves n i'd feel a lil lost, but they're cool ppl & i think i've picked up alot of the language along the way~

i had a great time, it was simple yet fun... i really enjoyed myself~
its simple things like havin a picnic at the beach or chillin at a friend's place tat conversations can be really engaging...

this morning was just dreadful to wake up to... but alas, today was RSAF Safety day, so there wasnt much to be done, which ment more time for hunting n gathering or shootin each other up in "Medal of Honor" on our PSPs...

we decided to use the free time to set up the fish tank we've been meaning to have in our room. the previous frog drowning/toad baseball matches have made certain discoveries... like how certain tree toads can bloat up to the size of a ping pong ball and become bouncy when threatened, and that there were a bunch of tiny baby guppies in the koi pond right outside just waiting to be caught.

Rajan & Winson lead the fishing expedition. Armed with net n' pail, they headed out n caught about 50 of the lil gups... we washed some rocks and harvested some of the pond's aquatic plants and viola, a habitat fit for Nemo himself~

it looked really great~
everyone was in awe of it :)

i dunno how we can still keep ourselves entertained like this everyday with our AVS escapades n not get in trouble...

we got released early today. got home at about 5-ish in the afternoon... pretty much just chilled at home watchin videos on youtube n stuff...

i found this video thats super funny...

he's no longer scared of the dentist, but he's terrified of the like, meaninglessness of life and stuff...

i never knew christian bale was such a hot head either... almost 3 mins of him screamin at some lighting guy? come on man, u were Bruce freakin Wayne... have some restraint man...

fuck it, he and i are done professionally~

2009-02-03T21:48:00.002+08:00

shawn and i found a frog today and sweeped it across the drain down into the canyons where it probably drowned or something in the milky waters of the canals right outside the base...

later in the day we murdered a snail with a rock and sacrificed 2 millipedes to the rain god... & it worked too, for a brief moment tat is, but onli a slight drizzle so training didn't cease.

a few of us explored the nearby area and found acouple of metal rods and a rusty hammer and started going round poking n prodding the bushes for snakes n insects alike... each time we found a cricket or an ants nest, we'd all start pounding & pelting it with sticks n rocks, taking our bottles n pouring water all over them... if all else failed, i'd come in with my "Hammer of Doom" n deal the killin blow~

that wasnt it, by the end of the day we caught n captured 4 big (not to mention hairy) ass spiders and contained them in a broken bottle we found at the scene then fed them to the fishes in the pond. None of the fishes actually ate them so we just drowned them instead..

it was cruel wad we did but damn i had so much fun... i would categorize this as "stupid stuff boys would do when bored and near vast vegetation". on normal curcumstances u'd never find us doing such blaten acts of animal cruelty. we're nice people after all~

i had a super amusing day today...
one of bug-killin n toad-drowning.....

don't judge me~

chinese new year's one of the most biggest celebrations in Asia i would say... although the sites aren't as dramatic as to those of xmas or new year's, the sounds are pretty noticeable. Almost everywhere i go they'd be playin those old school festive songs... even in the public bathrooms, like theres ever a need to hear something like That in there~

but i like chinese new year, the free money, the tons of food... its even an excuse for kids to gamble. i have fun just hangin out with my family & relatives. like i said, its a big deal~

although, i've never really acquired the taste for Steamboat, or Shark's Fin, or Abalone or any other exotic (& rather expensive) Asian delicacies for that matter, that's never stopped me from whippin up some chicken poppers or orderin Pizza on the side~ but its the time of the year where i'd put those habits aside n just join in with them and eat the unfamiliar cusines.

its a pleasant cultural change for me and sometimes rather educational.. i sometimes learn new words or random trivia bout the chinese culture that may not appeal to me that much but its still interesting to know since i am, afterall, beige to the skin~

this may all seem rather normal to any other person but for someone like me, whose youth till now's proficiency in the Mandarin language has failed to even obtain so much as a passing grade since my primary-hood. since then most of the friends i made had usually been of different ethnicity from me~

i never watched any of the hk dramas or the taiwanese game shows on tv.. therefore i never had any common topic to converse with the other beige kids at my school. almost half of my closest friends back then where non-chinese. Even today my best friend is Malay~

it was onli during tertiary that i started hangin out with the chinese kids, n that took some gettin used too. now that im in National Service, the singaporean chinese in me has never made such a notable appearance before. i still speak good english, cept now i have a better understanding for Singlish as well~

i order my own tea by telling the uncle, "teh-peng" instead of "iced-tea". for example~ a pretty retarded thing to even mention but for me, when i go out and when i say such things.. i notice it~

i like being chinese, even though i don't act like one most of the time~

after all the fishball noodles and xiao long baos... i like to just go back to having pizza and spagatti for lunch after all this is done :)

post script: did i get the title right?

2009-01-21T21:37:00.003+08:00

its not even funny how hot it is right now....
these dry spells are rather odd seeing as how its suppose to be the middle of monsoon season~

is there too much CO2 in the air? is it global warming? is the atmosphere breakin apart? is the end of the world commin?

i dunno...
but wad i do know, is tat its soo freakin hot....
& im going to bed~

u've just been ball gazed to the death~

ok lah....~

2009-01-12T21:50:00.003+08:00

too weird -_-~

U SET GUYS SET ME UP!!!

the night before~

2009-01-10T01:13:00.003+08:00

i dont think i've ever been beatin up before, it was quite a fun 1st time~
theres bruises and cuts all over my arms, body and face... everything hurts, even blood was drawn at a strange place....

my hands are still trembling when i hold them up...

i think i'll do it again soon :)

just a few more hours... im super excited, and super scared at the same time...

dont no one touch me once its done or i swear i'll cry~

dog day afternoon~

2009-01-08T17:14:00.003+08:00

my new Airforce uniform makes me look oh so spiffy :)
i bought a camouflage net for fun and hung it in front of my door for kicks... all the other Tees aint too bad either~ u got the blue and white T-shirts, the collared polos and the PT kits and shorts, all of which have tat grand logo of the RSAF printed right in the middle~ and i must add, the beret just doubles the "solider" look :)

speakin of uniforms, i've seen the new pixel coloured uniform of the SAF and damn does it make u look like a seaweed.. yeah its more practical, but i cant take my eyes off it when i see it, and neither would the enemy... besides, u look like a fool when u wear it to honest~

but, then again... i suppose we'd have to see it "work" in an actual jungle to really make any judgment... though if there were to have a war today, the colour ought to be grey or something since everythings all "urban warfare" n all tat jazz~

i'd hate to see an actual war start in asia.. i dont wanna experience something like tat in my lifetime... but at the rate things are going, i really dont know... sooner or later the shit in the middle east is gonna travel to us and every narcissistic person in this country will flip and start blaming each other, then it'll be 1964 again with race riots goin on and everything this tiny ass country built would have all gone to shit cause eventhough sg's a safe n prosperous place, the ppl are pricks and attitude always trumps ingenuity, period....

singaporeans know their pricks, we cant really help it... and its not because we want to be this way.. its cause u just dont wanna help the person next to u cause u know he/she's a douchebag as well~

its just like tat old lady in the train who abusively pushes everyone outtve her way just to get tat seat at the corner... & as the charitable & compassionate member of society tat u are... you would've gladly givin up ur seat to this elderly woman, but after her act of inconsideration towards u all all the ppl around you, u'd start thinking tat maybe(just maybe..) she doesn't deserve tat seat anymore... soon, you'd start to think tat all old ppl are like tat.. then u'd think all people in general are like tat... and soon, everyone in the world'll be tat way...

then u'd think, why should i show an ounce of decency when no one else is? im gettin the bad end of the deal here, i gotta start lookin out for myself, my own needs, my own individual~

thats when u become self-centered and conceited and all the other Synonyms tat mean "selfish" & "asshole"... so the next time on the train, and u see an old guy lookin for a seat, u pretend to sleep, or look the other way...

"he's just gonna steal my seat from me, i wont let him, the Basterd! i'll just close my eyes n pretend im asleep, that'll show him..."

and tats the moment where god takes ur name outtve the good book and the whole world's gonna burn in hell forever -_-

but hey, im just callin it like i see it... if u give ur seats up to old ppl on the bus then good for u... but wad about the guy who needs a lift cause his tyre blew... or the kid hu fell of his bicycle and needs a hand...

"dont worry, someone else will do it... im late for my pilates class anyway~"
and tats all u need to clear any form of guilt u have in ur mind... which just shows wad a really great human being you are~

now, im no saint either, i dont give my seats to old ppl or help kids who've fallen off trees back on their feet all the time... and thats the irony of it...

perhaps i'll start being nicer when other ppl are nicer to me first ey?

2009-01-04T21:52:00.003+08:00

i spent the entire day cleaning my room n now its so beautiful i want to cry~ all the clutter on the floor is gone, the shelves are dust-free, the table's neat and the wires n cables are neatly organized...

clothes in my wardrobe's been folded and the bedsheet's changed... took the entire day but damn everything's so sparkly now :) i think, now with the room all clean n shit, its become more of a personal haven... its opened up portals to allow the good chi magic to flow in...

crystal blue and hazel green, all the colours of the world if squint ur eyes, they can be seen floatin around my room in their mist-like state. glowing orbs of healing energy makin their rounds, thru the cupboards and under the tables~ spreadin their happy magic on all hu enter :)

wad...? whys everybody lookin at me like tat for..?

Zombie Scientists + Batman~

2008-12-27T10:55:00.004+08:00

last night i had a weird dream....
i dreamt i was Batman(or some guy in a cape... i remembered havin a cape, n some gadgets) n i was fightin scientist zombies in this... secret base/underground lab place-a-ma-jig cause there were test-tubes n wires n wad not layin about... plus there was no windows~

and these zombies, they werent.. gross or anything, they looked human... like average joe lookin zombie... some where short, some where fat... they looked like any ordinary kinda person cept that they were zombies & they all wore lab coats, plus they were super strong, and weighed a ton of bricks~

so, theres the layout for u...

im Bruce Wayne, im trapped in an evil underground lair, and im fightin off regular-lookin scientist zombies from hell....

so, im runnin thru the lab, its dark n dry(???), im just runnin n runnin, n i see a couple of zombies walkin around but they dont bother me so i keep on runnin.... i wasnt actually runnin away from them, more like tryin to find something~ so im searching for.. wadever it is im suppose to search for, lookin in the rooms n stuff... then i enter this science storeroom place with broken test-tubes n empty crates lying about... and inside where these Elite, regular-lookin, Master's degree in health science zombies, which.. looked exactly like all the other regular zombies but, err... they werent?

anyway, the battle starts, its just me jumpin around kickin everybody and hurlin objects at them but they never even flinch cause their like made of bricks n move at the speed of trees growing... so i just kept smashin stuff onto them n the stuff just keeps breakin or something like tat...

tat's pretty much how the battle went for quite a bit... before i woke up~ Upon commin to my senses a while later, i realized this was one of them weirdass dreams i get once in a while tat, if not shared with someone, is just gonna bother me the rest of the day... so after weeks of not bloggin for so long, i come n unload shit like this here and hopefully get some prospective on this~
so yeah :)

my imagination is weird as Shit...

the nature of reality~

2008-10-27T10:49:00.004+08:00

i read this article in last week's TIME bout the US. Presidential Elections, that if Barack Obama were running for office in Asia, he might not be where he is now....

it says that, although Asia's vast ethic diversity means we're forced to confront the very real & many differences -Cultural, political, economic- that exists among us, these differences sometimes erupt in violence.

At least half the world's armed conflicts are in Asia, of which, nearly all ethnic-based. But the bigger reason why Asians dont focus on commonality is because their societies don't encourage it.

In many countries, ethnic divisions are institutionalized.. strict laws governing what one race can or cannot do.

In largely homogenous Japan, it's extremely difficult for a non-Japanese to become a citizen even if born there... In Malaysia, an affirmative-action program gives preference to Malays over the country's sizable Chinese & Indian populations in everything from university places to government contracts.

Leaders argue that these kinds of measures help maintain harmony. Maybe so, but its a superficial harmony that reinforces stereotypes n hinders the creation in the long run of genuine tolerance & understanding.

In Asia, it is acceptable to be racist, or at least unapologetic about being so.
In Asia, race is your face...

According the TIME correspondents around the region, when Asians look at Barack Obama, they see, above all else, a black man. And most are convinced that Americans will not, in the end, choose an African-American as its leader- simply cause it has never been done before. That the President of the United States should be white is a truism....

To Asians, its enough to say that Obama doesn't look "presidential" enough for his assessment to be devoid of a critical examination of his values & vision.

How Obama Looks will NOT, of course, determine how he would intern govern if elected -_-

If it were not for the colour of his skin, or whether or not he looks "Presidential" enough for asians to want to vote for him, would be that he's still Democrat, & Democrats have traditionally pushed protectionism & human rights, issues uncomfortable for Asia.

However, Obama's key constituency is the U.S... yet the world has already gained from the Obama candidacy. In one sense, & one sense alone, his skin colour does matter. In Asia, it is virtually unthinkable that an individual from a minority could rise to become a national leader.

Despite what we may think of the U.S, of its hardly stellar handling of the conflicts in Iraq & Afghanistan, of its lack of oversight in the financial meltdown, the fact that Barack Obama can overcome the disadvantages associated with being black is a possibility that cannot be entertained in the same way anywhere else.

And even if he doesn't win...
thats the lesson America frames for us all, whatever our race~

----------------------------------

alot of my friends know my standing in terms of racial discrimination... or any discrimination for that matter be it religious or gender related~ And it does feel weird knowing that about the conservative state of Asian society~ Hopefully it'll change in the years to come...

on a lighter note, Driving school ain't that bad... drivin is fun, occasionally i pull a crazy Taxi n get screamed at by the instructor, otherwise i'm like Paul Walker doin a 2Fast2Furious bit with the Land Rover~

the ppl there are from all walks of life... but its mainly split into 3 grps, the cheena neenas, the Mat yo yos, and the white boys... but we all get along just fine, everyone's just hangin out with everyone else... i love the diversity there~

i learn a vast vocabulary of vulgarities in all sorts of languages...
ccb- smelly vagina
pcb- broken vagina
lcb- old vagina
ljb- Penis face

and in a sentence, it goes something like...
"i put it to u, that you are a smelly vagina and ur face resembles that of a male genitalia!"
*bitch slaps face with glove~

---------------------------------

last night was off the hook, fancy ass dinner at a fancy ass place... but the emo trippin was just way too much.... halloween party next week? i dunno man, im so outt've it~

2008-10-19T12:23:00.002+08:00

im soo outta of it~
bounce from place to place just to score points.... the shaddy Canto Bar/Ass Raping back alleys... the Deja Vu 3rd deg friends... the horrible Zouk crowd~

im dont even know wad to sayyy man...

IM SO OUT OF IT!!!!

*pulls a spazed out rat~

1700-2200hr

2008-10-15T20:05:00.005+08:00

even though we knock off at 5... the transport van doesn't come till about a half hour later... sometimes even more~ theres not much we can do bout that, so we just stand around waitin for it to arrive, gettin all excited whenever we hear the sounds of a vehicle commin from the distance onli to cuss n swear when it turns out to be just another civilian car...

so, the van comes n sends us all to the entrance of the Airbase were we return the passes we took from during the day when this whole thing 1st began... & then its over, the day is done & we get to go home~

i cross the road i crossed from before, i see the broken bike pedal still lying there on the road, same thought still prevents me from goin over there n kickin it... i walk over to the same bus stop i alighted from in the morning, i wait for the same bus to take me back to the same place from which i had been to earlier on...

and of course, by now everyone's done with work so the buses are packed and no one ever moves to the back, so sometimes it takes nearly twice as long to head back then to get here... but when i do manage to get on the same bus from which i had initially taken during the day... from there on, proceed the same way from whence i came to go home~

i get home.. i undo my boots n dump my shit by the side of the door... i take my clothes off, head to the shower and just, melt under the stream of water for a couple of mins before i start doing any actual 'Showering'...

by now, the time's probably 8pm... i eat my dinner & stumble to my room n turn my pc on... no one's home yet, which is normal... i think about wad an incredible waste of my time the day was... i think about all the wonderful things i could have done had i not been stuck there.

its all just one big waiting game.... waiting for the bus, waiting in que, waiting for the food, waiting for the day to end....

and for wad?
u sometimes forget wad ur purpose is when ur stuck in a job like this...

i want my frustration heard, everyone thinks i have the dream vocation.... claiming how great it is to be slackin about while everyone else is out in the jungle gettin their asses handed to them~

i dont think its that great at all -_-

so i think to myself, how can i sound out my utter disdain towards this whole situation thats happening...
then it hits me...
i collect my thoughts for a min.. and then i begin...

"everyday, i wake up before sunrise... i make my way to the bathroom in the dark, i take a bath.. i get changed... i head down to the bus stop n off to the train station often passin lots of school kids & workin adults rushin to be on time, squeezin thru people...
squeezin thru me......"

0730-1700hrs~

2008-10-14T21:32:00.003+08:00

the 0730hr bus arrives indubitably at 0730hrs and leaves at 0735hr sharp.... there had been a number of close calls regarding my punctuality, but i guess i've just been lucky~

from there, its another 15-20mins of road... pass air strips & runways, going deeper into the estate~ we alight at the last stop n walk about a quarter of a mile to our HQ... u can tell its ours from the giant neon sign that reads:"HOLIDAY INN"

*there is no giant neon sign...

at 8 o'clock we have roll call then a short briefing, both of which lastin maybe 10mins tops... and then we go to the NSF room where we take out our PSPs and start racing each other on BURNOUT~

sometimes i get bored so i head over to the UNO table for a couple of hands... then i go back to my PSP. i was 3 quarters done with DA VINCI CODE but it gets harder n harder for me to read when i have like 2 movies in my PSP to watch~

occasionally we'd be called thru the P.A. to go sweep some room or clear the garbage... tats pretty much about it~ the rest of the day's spent sleepin and playin Battle Ship~

Food arrives at around noon, i'm usually the 1st one to see wad's for lunch n report back to the rest of'em, majority of whom, still engrossed in their Portables~ we'd head to the pantry n eat whilst watchin the senior team bitch about how shitty the meals are in dialect... cussin at how bad the chicken is or how the rice isn't cooked..

*just eat it n shut up...

everyone speaks mandarin in there... they speak dialect even more... i cant comprehend it~ i'd just stare at'em in hopes they'll enlighten me..

or just get outta my face~
i realise how uncivilized us males can really be at times~

its back to the same routine again after lunch... sometimes i'd take a nap, or i'd just wander around the compound lookin for insects to toss into the pond...
eventually, time goes by.... & by 1700hrs, its time to leave...

0530-0730hrs~

2008-10-13T20:54:00.006+08:00

everyday, i wake up before sunrise... i make my way to the bathroom in the dark, i take a bath.. i get changed... i head down to the bus stop n off to the train station often passin lots of school kids & workin adults rushin to be on time, squeezin thru people...
squeezin thru me~

"hey now... take it easy~"
i say it to them with my eyes as they pass me an anxious glance~

i exit at Eunos and stroll to the bus stop to take yet another bus... i pass a line of old ppl hu que up there every morning for reasons i've never really bothered to figure out, pass a 7-Eleven with the emo dude inside & a shop that claims to sell $1 fried rice for breakfast~

which reminds me, i gotta try tat one day...

its not long before the bus arrives, n its usually boarded by all the Airforce and Civil Defence guys with long faces n short... short hair~ its the 2nd stop from the interchange, so i often get the privillage of having a seat...

for a good 15-20 mins, the bus weaves in & out, out & in... passin wood work factories n Car dealership along the way before reachin the stretch of millitary structures just opposite a Driving school~ i alight soon after n cross the road where a broken piece of a motorcycle pedel still remains untouched in the middle of the road for quite some time now....

im always tempted to give it a playful kick in hopes a car would drive over it and an abrupt scene would comence for my amusement... but i never did, mom taught me well to not play a fool on the road~

i enter the base n exchange my ID for a Visitor's Pass... then proceed to the x-ray room wear they scan my belongings & person for explosives n the such~ once that's done, i make a left to the waiting area to await the 0730hr bus. . . .

how u like them apples~

2008-10-11T05:17:00.006+08:00

i start of by to seriously doubting the pay system of the Singapore Armed Forces compared to that of the RSAF, the Navy.. shit, even the Police Force n think, "dude... is tat all?"

it ain't fair man... we Ninjas take so much shit n this is it? u toss us into random slots of units where neither of us are(nor will ever be..) proficient in, when those who wanna rock n roll are stuck diggin up pavements???

get the fk outta heeere -_-

time check: 0536hr~
my day is done so imma crash.
tomoro night (or rather tonight...) we be rollin to the keeey-s to parrrtayyyy~

"what's a RocknRolla?
it's not about drugs, drums, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame.
But a RocknRolla... he's different...

Why...?

Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot~ "

*que bad ass music intro~

i fkin luv the English accent~
soddin wankers...

as i was saying...~

2008-10-09T21:49:00.003+08:00

idunno what's been up with this weather lately.... dark clouds hoverin over but never doing any actual Raining.. and when it does, its one of those bursts of rain thats over in 5mins...

not tat it annoys me tat much... but come on, make up ur mind (hu ever it is tat controls weather movements.. be it mother nature or god or wadever...) in the event of rain we cant really do anything (not that we had anything to do to begin with-_-) so i spent the time watchin "Wall-E" & "The Devil Wears Prada" on my PSP to pass the time...

Wall-E's just the sweetest show ever... i dunno how many times i went "awwww~" in my head, feelin all soft n gay on the inside... TDWP on the other hand was a cool, story-like film bout fashion n life i suppose... not the best of movies but it had tat "i-can-relate-to-the-character" touch to it... which was.... well.. nice~

the rest of the day's spent with loads of reading and eating... couple of times i'd head out to the ol'rusty chin-up bar at the backyard to pull afew... tats about it~ get back, watch some TV, use the computer, lift some weights (yeah i know, idont believe it myself sometimes..) then by 10-ish i crash n the whole thing starts all over again...

right now, i dont even know if im complaining or just sharing stuff about my day... seems mundane enough, yet something's missing~ its like i get this feeling tat theres tons of stuff im suppose to do, but im trapped here doing nothing~ and that anxiety just lingers thru out the day....

i'm afraid my body's gettin used to this lifestyle of bummin around & not doing anything.... soon, i'll become one of those guys tat stays at home all day & chats with his online friends he met in MapleStory -_- cause when "leveling-up" becomes more important than talkin to girls, u know u've hit a new low & i dont ever wanna be like tat~

anyway, on a different note.... certain other things that i've happened to be just thinkin about while sittin around n shit...

-Asians are super, super unfriendly-_- they always give me this awkward vibe, a subtle body language thing if u will... the way their eyes dart about cautiously... like im going to rape them or something.... i guess its just our conservative up-bringing tat limits our trust of another human being~
somebody should do something about tat... im just saying~

-i've said it once, twice, thrice.. shit i've said it in like every 3-5 posts...
ACCENTS ARE SOOoooOOooo HAWT~ well, to be specific, the tone of the voice plays apart too... i hate girls with tat annoying high pitched, act-cute voice.. especially when we guys know ur faking it... no one sounds THAT "Cute", besides its a major turn of.. i dont get why some of u girls think it appeals to us when clearly it doesnt, at least not to me~ if u wanna get krindged at by ppl everytime u say something, then yeah by all means~

-going back to the previous post bout the bus driver and the kid.. perhaps the bus driver was just doin his job u know.. maybe the SBS DID have some kinda counting system tat prevented him from lettin tat kid onboard... maybe he recognized the kid from b4 n knew wad he was up too.. (although tat seems kinda unlikely..-_-)

u know wad, i cant see any reason y he couldnt just give the kid a break.... your an adult u should know better!!

this just goes back to ppl in this country being selfish assholes... be considerate u insusceptible whores~ just cause ur older dont make u better than everyone else.. n just cause ur young dont mean u can get away with doing stupid shit either~

grown ups listen to ur kids, kids teach ur parents... works both ways but i find this one direction better~

keep to that n the world will be a better place....

there was this one time i got on a bus headin home, i found a seat near the front & sat down... there was this lil boy, maybe around 10years old or something... he went up to the bus driver n asked him something...

i couldn't hear wad he said but i assumed tat he didn't have any money n was askin the driver if he could board the bus anyway, cause the driver's reaction a hostile one.. he waved his hands about n he shoo-ed the kid off, saying something like..

"no! no! You dun come n use this trick!"
or something like tat...

so then the lil boy ran back down & i guess waited for the next bus to come...

this all happened like within 10 secs before i realized wad was actually goin on and i thought to myself, why didn't the driver just let the kid in? he probably just forgot his cash n wants to go home... its not like its $10 a ride, its fifty five friggin cents~ the driver doesn't get any commission either... so wads the big deal?

clearly this 10 year old isnt capable of contemplating such an elaborate scam to cheat the SBS of 55cents -_- just let the boy hitch a ride, would tat have been so terrible? i think he would've just gotten of at the first few stops anyway... he couldn't possibly be going to some unfamiliar route far far away, i dont think his mom would let him travel tat far~ his house is probably just a few blocks away, he's probably taken this bus a dozens times in the past...

so the one time he doesnt have enough money (for wadever reason he might, have seeing as how he's onli a kid n kids loose things all the time) he doesnt get a break?

i dunno if its the bus driver who's being an asshole... or maybe the world's just out to get him... but damn... i remember when i was a little n everything in the world would scare me... this one time, when i was at the grocery store with my mom, my hand was itchy so i picked up an orange from the rack n squeezed it cause tat was wad kids would do right, we'd squeeze fruits for fun... then the lady from the store saw me n she was like...

"xiao di, bu yao dong ah"
the direct translation of course would be: "Little boy, dont touch ah or i'll eat yo face!~"

n i just freaked out... i ran back to my mom n hid myself from the mean ol'fruit lady~

now, i dunno about other kids these days but i hated adults like these.. goin round scarin lil children n wad not... i was a kid, i didnt know the rational behind alot of things so we'd get ourselves in trouble alot... but grown ups like that are just mean...

these are adults hu aren't patient enough to explain to kids how the world works... & its because of this that children hang out with bad company n do drugs n shit~ its cause the adults act like FOols...

i've met alot of these crazy adults in my life... and because of that i've decided to be NICE to children~ by nice i dont mean buyin them candy... i mean not being an asshole just cause ur older... i mean, lookin out for them cause they dont know better...

their children man...
YOU as adults should know better-_-

to the little boy on the bus... there are people hu give shit about u, so dont do drugs~

to the driver of the bus...
go Fuck yrself~

i hate my vocation...
its soo friggin stupid, i do nothing all day except sweep the floor for 10 mins a day then its back to the staff room to stone n do NOTHING!

im loosin my mind, everyday i wake up at 5am n take 2 buses n a train to the airbase to do NOTHING! i reach there n from 8am-5pm all i do is come out when theres food otherwise i do NOTHING! according to the sgts, our trainin starts on the 16th... but its still just gonna be like one mission every fortnight so in between tat time its still gonna be hours of me just doing NOTHING!!

im flippin out from all the NOT-DOING-ANYTHING thing! i REFUSE to spend the remaining 1 1/2 years of my ns life bummin around, sweepin the floor n playing with sand while all my other friends are dying in the ARMOUR DIV.

i thought it would be cool at 1st.. sure, who wouldnt wanna have a 8-5 job where all u do is NOTHING n blow aircon all day... i dunno wad's wrong with me either but i am going crazy.. i really am...

i hate wasting my time like this... n i seriously wanna change to a Combat unit... sure its gonna be tough but at least u get to train, u get to travel, u get to shot big guns n blow shit up...

beats fillin up holes in the road once every 2 weeks...
i hate wasting my time like this... i hate doing NOTHING!

but accordin to the sgt, if i request a change in unit, its like a 90% chance i'll end up as a Regimental Police(RP).. i'd just shoot myself then if tat ever happened-_-

so im stuck here... doing NOTHING... learning maybe a lil of something but ultimatly doing mostly NOTHING~

the onli good thing bout this vocation from wad i hear from the staff, is tat it gives u a great opportunity to continue ur studies or take up some night classes... last time i checked i onli had my 'O's, so im definiatly gonna use this opportunity... i refuse to just waste my time there n bum off the next 19 mths of my time here in this place -_-

at least once i get out i'd have something to show for n not have wasted my time doing NOTHING!!!

i miss holdin a weapon :(
its like im not a real solider anymore!!
its gonna be like this for the next 19 mths...

im goin outta my mind!!

SOMEBODY SAVE ME~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-13T21:35:00.009+08:00

its been really long hasn't...
better late than never~

090908 was one of the most magnificent days of my life~ the night before (from wad i can remember) bore feelings of excitement & anxiety~ our fear of going thru the grueling 24 click route march (although incredibly painful and enduring) didn't out weight the fact tat in less than 24 hrs, this would all be over, and we'd all be going home~

the march took about 7 hours to complete, lasting from 5.am when we first set off, till about noon... we didn't even realize it was over till they told us... it was intense, but no one spaz-ed out...

kudos~

a couple of hours later, we gathered and set off to the parade square where our parents and loved ones where...

the "N" stands for nacho...
obviously~

so then we're all standin there not moving n shit, waiting for some guy to give some speech and all tat... and im scannin at the crowd lookin for my mom and sister and i spot them almost instantly but they havent found me yet, so u pan around summore just lookin at all the other ppl hu were there....

everyone elses mommy and daddy, gf or bf (which ever makes u happy) just to keep urself distracted from the intense weight the combat load ur carrying while ur keeping ever so still... u've lost all the blood flow in ur arms by then... but u cant move, not yet... the man in the suit's still talkin.... -_-

we march around summore then sing a song and do a dance~ a sappy music goes on and mom comes down to put my jockey cap on me...

before u know it its over and we're tossin our caps into the sky n runnin around passin high fives~

i take photos with my buddies and platoon mates and we do our soul-ja boi victory dance infront of everyone there~

doesn't look like much but it kept us amused...

and tat was how we cranked it...

so, my Basic Military Training Phase was over.. it was a glorious feeling.. but i just wanted to go home after tat day... and i did...

the army thought me great things, being in Ninja Coy taught me even greater lessons~
its bad in there... Ninja...
its really bad and i wont deny it... but if u think about it, tats the way its suppose to be... Ninja company was old school, the things they practiced weren't exactly "by the book", but it got the job down... they trained us to be soldiers and tats wad we are now~

i wouldnt say i was glad to be in there... but im definately glad to have survived it~

i dont think i ever wanna experience something like tat again...

by on the bright side... my body's super hawt now and the ladies at the clubs all chick me out yo~

ooOhh right~

"POP LOH!!!"
"man! put some pants on -_-~"

*inside jokes are so misleading...

viva la neeennnnjaaaarrr!~

2008-09-07T10:55:00.002+08:00

POP in 2 days~
i hope i dont spaz out on the 24 click Route March of Doom...

im never drinkin beyond my point of thirst anymore in terms of alcohol and make "Super-Happy-Fun-Time " time a not so fun and super experience~

i have no time n i need to watch more episodes of Naruto and HOUSE-_-

i also learnt how to sing a chinese song and say the lines from Russel Peter's "Yo, Moma is soooo fat..." in hokkien, but im not gonna say it, cause i dont really know the spellin...

but wadever, imma bounce now~

inhale exhale~

2008-08-24T16:57:00.003+08:00

Outfield was wet... i saw cute baby boars the size of a tv remote... my fingers are chaffed and knees have exploded...

its so wet, theres so much rain... u cant sleep... trees branches fallin on u at night... commanders stealin ur rifles... so much rain~

booked out n barely stayed home for 2 hrs, then bar hoped all night~
didnt sleep much either, wasnt tired... which is strange considerin the weather~

book in's in an hr... i never even got time to turn on the tv...

only in Ninja...

ah well, at least we can still summon Megan Fox three more times~

a lack of colour~

2008-08-17T17:40:00.003+08:00

3 more weeks till my passin out parade~
i guess BMT's pretty fast... but the days are long in camp... 5am-10.30pm

its difficult to explain in words wad goes on in there... everytime when i book out, everything feels different... the air, the people... just the convinence of everything.. turn on the tap n water comes out, everything's so accessable...

tv, hot showers... u really appreciate basic shit like this when ur in camp~ i miss listenin to music and not having to eat my lunch within 10 minutes~

i think ever since field camp, everyone's just dying... worst ever 6 days of my life~
it never gets easier, and it never stops...

the days are oh so long...

sometimes i wish i wasn't in Ninja...
maybe if i'd been in some welfare company, things would've been easier.. run a lil in the morning n free time all the way till lights out~
just cruise thru BMT with just the bare basics...

but then, i would've came out the same person n not learnt anything~

Ninja Coy is no joke~
in Tekong, tellin ppl ur from N Company is like saying ur from Harvard..... and its true wad the commanders say, the worst has yet to come~

its being able to survive the shit they put us thru tat makes us stronger... but its not easy at all...

the things being thrown at us...
it never stops~

and the days are oh sooo long...

damn wookies~

2008-08-09T11:48:00.005+08:00

cant believe i didnt move -_-
this is the most boring video ever...

also, i fuckin hate field camp... come to me for horrible army stories... cant post them here or the goverment will get me~

gotta get a new ipod soon or i'll freakin kill myself on those borin train rides... -_-

PS: thanks bunny for the super sweet entry~

Ninja Company
Platoon 1 Section 4 Bed 01

go google it n u'll know its one of (if not the Most) toughest Coy in the whole of BMTC~

its crazy in there... the 1st confinement week was the most horrible.. but after awhile u get used to it... its fun, i'd admit.. training is training, u run and u run.. then when u cant run anymore, u run again~

its also psychologically painful... being institutionalized and forced to live around mindless rules and proceedures....

an ordeal like this makes u greatly, Greatly appreciate wad u already have... simple pleasures like watchin tv and stuff~

as the days progress and training intenses, theres never a day tat goes by where u dont almost die from something~ there's never enough sleep, there's never enough rest...

but its fun~
cept sometimes i miss home so much it drives me crazy...

i miss my friends and my home... i miss alot of things... in fact, the insanity isnt tat bad, its not being able to go home tat breaks me~

i wish i had more time in the weekends to do more things, to hang out with more ppl.... i wish i had more time in camp to even call ppl~

the "te-kan" stories of army are bountiful~
and the boredem everyone has can make u think of the most creative things to entertain one's self in camp...

from painting lizards, to drawing on each other with markers...

i am mentally shagged and my leg hurts real bad... i havent had bubble tea in a month and i missed so many episodes of Nip/Tuck and Pushing Dasies~

i hope next week is more interesting... i think it will be, SAR 21 came in over the weekend so we'll be gettin to shoot stuff by tomoro~

so yeah, hope i dont die~

Duty, Honor, Country~

umm... text me, if u can... i like hearin from my friends.. gives me something to think about when im in there...

yeah, i'd like tat alot~
i'll try to reply u if i got the time... maybe even call... its nice hearing from my friends~

2008-06-10T23:42:00.004+08:00

almost all of my days leadin to the 12th has been packed with sooo many meetings with soo many friends~ to the point where i have at least 2 or more hang-outs in one day... which is pretty hard to juggle but time's runnin out so, oh well~

meet the x-men for service last sunday, then off to lunch with my mom and sister at city hall... it was gonna be my last sunday(EVER) with the mother so she wanted to hang out with her beloved son~ can't blame her, seeing as how im so filial and all...

went to this place called the "Soup Restaurant".. it had a tree in it.... thats like the 1st thing tat i saw~ are those words the name of the restaurant? cause all i can read is the no.3... and i dont see how tat could translate to "Soup" or "Restaurant"-_-

its been so long since i ate in a cheena place like this... mom didnt let me ask for fork n spoons-_- i had to use chopsticks and eat my rice from a bowl, so mean~

EVERYONE SEE MY MOM!!! SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY!!!~

meet chingy at the esplanade to chill, talked for like 2hrs then maddy came... talked summore~ then headed to NewYorkNewYork~ for dinner...

lots of chicken.. i like chicken~

imma happy boy~ lalala

(4 more days to go...)

Meet Rick on Monday to hang out, had dinner at Fish 'n Co. and chilled at TCC till it was time to go~ headed to the train station to meet stu n the rest & trained home with celly, liz & claire~

nothin much to write about here.. simple chillin out session... but enjoyable nontheless~

(3 more days n counting....)

caught Kung Fu Panda with the Power Rangers... it was pretty awesome~ theres a lil thing at the end when the credits are done rolling, but its nothin much really.. not the end of the world if u happen to miss it~

Go Go Power Rangers~
dibs on Green, i wanna be Tommy...

HANS for dinner then rushed home to change then meet bff to hang~ it was really windy outside so we camwhored with my mane~

cant really see anything.. just hair, which was kinda the idea~

( 2 Days left~ )

time's runnnin out...

pork & beans~

2008-06-07T20:07:00.003+08:00

i like to rub my hands along things... like walls and metal handrails~ i like to touch the pointy ends of tables, its feels nubby and i guess tats a lil weird, but i do it anyway, cause i can~

i lean rather sluggishly on tabletops as well, i'd support my head with my hands and loaf about like i have no backbone... and because of that, i might seem like im unattentive.. but really i am... im just being comfortable~

if theres an object on the table, like a cup, or a pen... i'd play with it... i'd spin it in circles, i'd tap it, i'd twirl it btw my fingers or simply stare in amusement at it for simply being there...

thats when im not paying attention~
and its at this point i'd need u to snap me out of it... i can get carried away in my own world sometimes...

and for that, i thank u in advance~

-------------------------

in the mornings, i'd say out everything i do in a third-person manner, just to hear my sexy "i just woke up from bed" voice~

"oOh, im up.. think i'll head to the bathroom and take a bath...."

"hey there, person in the mirror... damn do u need a haircut...."

"i wonder if theres anyone home? think i'll just risk it and run to my room naked~"

well...
u get the idea...

in the evenings, things start to slow down... people, start to slow down~ and subconciously, so do u... cause its night time, its suppose to be our when we rest, and eventhough ur not tired, u will be, cause everyone else is~ u cant help it... and neither can i~

so after midnight, i start to feel "drunk" and in a lil dazed... but really im not tired at all... i have energy, i feel that i can go on...

but, im kinda not allowed to...
cause thats just how it is~

-------------------------

sometimes when no one's looking, i pretend my pens are weapons and make them fight with my fingers~ some ppl imagine them as Drumsticks and drum them on hardcovered books and metal pencil boxes, while i pretend their swords and stab imaginary robots with it... or evil ninjas, whichever u prefer~

oOh yeah, one more thing... on days when my days dont turn out so prefect, i journal them in "aaron's kinky black book of secrets" and hide it in my drawer for no one to see~ Then i turn on my computer, and i write a bunch of nonsense like this to throw u off~

remember boys and girls, Candy = Death :)
goodnite folks~

(5 days and counting~)

Speed of Sound~

2008-06-06T11:31:00.004+08:00

6 days to the day of days and ironically today's june 6th which IS D-Day~ i got most of my shit prep-ed... cept maybe a few nic-nacs here n there, nothin i cant live without~

dragon slaying with the x-men in 3 hours time... gotta go prep...

oOh Count, u perv.... tsk~

and that was when i ruled the world~

2008-06-04T15:12:00.003+08:00

it didnt hurt much initially, the first few days was it just felt a lil sore, but i forgot about this part... its day three and by now, the physical part doesnt hurt much but my immune system is seriously fucked -_-

i get headaches and roomspins, dizzy-ness and the sweats... not to mention the burning sensation on my back~ its not as painful as a sunburn, but.. it feels... like its moving~ i dunno how to describe it.. it feels like ur skin is healing itself and.. its moving~ yeah...

i think my body's trying to regenerate the loss of blood and its makin me a lil wooozy~ not to mention really really cranky-_- it happened to me the last time, and the time b4 that... but i guess i was too excited about the finishing work to remember its aftercare~

i dont feel sick, its not a feeling i get at the pit of my stomach tats making me unwell... neither do i feel any actual physical pain.. i think its more of a disorientated feeling~ its like u know ur not sick, but ur body cant keep up cause its just been wounded....

but it'll pass... im just amused at how my body works when under pressure... my head tells me im fine, but my body begs to differ... kinda makes u wonder if the whole "mind over matter" thing is true or not~

exactly 7 days till i enlist... im gonna blog as much as i can before that day comes... oh, and im gonna need people to talk lots of photos of me with my uber long hair before the goverment takes it away~

damn buracrats~
