NOTHING BEATS HOME!wahaha
after 1 week at my grandma's i've finally moved back.woohoo.
i'm not saying that it's not nice living at grandma's.it was quite fun living there actually,eat sleep shit watch tv and play psp.haha..and all my meals taken care of.change of environment did me some good too,furthermore the house's within walking distance of tampines central!
just that it wouldnt been nice to stay out late if i was staying there as i didnt have a set of house keys.
and the place lacks a computer with internet connection
not to mention cable tv
so i decided that home's the best.lol
anyway,thanks grandma.you rock! =D
went sgh for medical review this morning.at the end of the whole thing,the lady at the cashier told me 'that would be 55 dollars thank you'.i was stunned for a moment,cos all the doc did was to take a look at me,did a blood test and wrote down some words on a card!omg. 55 dollars-just for literally SEEING the doc.zZ.
then i whipped out my 11B, and everything was settled-the power of the SAF credit card.MUAHAHAHA.thats the good thing about serving NS,your backside's almost fully if not fully covered =D
but i'll gladly trade all that for my pink ic ANYTIME.lol
pizza hut + movie + pop corn + catching up with friends + lotsa laughter = SHIOK SHIOK.wahaha.
(i still wanna eat mac.lol)
more of such to come.wahaha
i've decided that next week i should play darn hard before returning back to camp on sun.MUAHAHA.enjoy whatever remaining time i am left with =[
LETS PLAY!!

27 nov 2007
OMG
feeling (damn)fat.hah
life's real boring when
26 nov 2007
let's see..
fell sick after coming back from taiwan,
went cgh twice but still didnt recover,
went sgh and was HOSPITALISED!
my virgin hospital stay-to sum it up-boring+boring+BORING.hah
the hospital's a really boring place that i'll NEVER EVER wanna stay EVER AGAIN.
the first few days was really horrible..fever was still playing roller coaster with me,plus i had bad headache and vomitted almost everything i ate..
photo credits:ah-boy
well,12 days of fever and 7 days spent in hospital later,i was diagnosed with scrub typhus,bestowed upon me most prob by some mites from certain forest in taiwan.
i thought i wasnt gonna make it.looking back it was pure stupid thinking.lol..but i must really thank my family-they visited me EVERYDAY without fail(esp my parents and grandparents).not to forget the friends that visited me at sgh-you guys really brightened up my day! =D
now i'm discharged and resting at my grandmum's =]
gone with my stay in hospital is my passing out parade-really sucked while you're lying in hospital while all your friends pass out..well,it's over.although i didnt attend my POP,but ASLC's offically over and i'm now offically a SERGEANT!12 weeks of fun filled excitment-looking back at day 1,it really felt just like last yesterday..really pity i couldnt take any last photos.
a bonus i took away from sispec =P
it's a recognition of my good performance-but it's also something that gave me my sucky posting-1 SIR platoon sergeant =[
you can say that i hate my new posting but there's nothing i can do about it.1 SIR is here to stay in my life for the next 1yr 3 months.everyone else's getting a good life =[
nvm-ENDURE 090209
went down to my new camp to endorse my mc(btw i'm on mc till 8dec =D ).
-first of all the camp's in the middle of nowhere with only 1 bus service which comes from chua chu kang central.
-secondly,all the new sergeants reported 'cept for me due to my mc.
-thirdly they started their unit induction for the new sergeants today,which means i'm gonna miss out alot and will be like a lost sheep when i report on 8dec
-fourthly,6 days later my new batch of men(13th mono intake) will be reporting and i wont be there to receive them-so much for being platoon sergeant
-my captain gave me the feeling that he thinks i'm 'chao geng-ing'
so,ya,first impressions aint good at all.long term mc on first day of duty.
hopefully everything will run smoothly and i'll be able to fit in on 8dec.
DILEMMA
life sucks.
my kneecaps are still feeling very weak..sure hope they recover fast,esp before i return to camp.
i wanna eat MAC and watch MOVIE and eat POPCORN before i return to camp

04 sep 2007
when our postings were revealed last week and i know that i was posted back to PLC for ASLC,i felt as though my sky caved in.ASLC's supposed to be the most unpopular posting..no one wants to get ASLC and i was lucky enough to get it.woohoo!furthermore i was drafted into the most xiong company in the camp.zZ.on my way home after that i nearly lost my camp pass!wth.on the same day i injuried my leg at MOS at nite.bloody hell, i thought lady luck had forsaken me forever.grr.lol
after awhile i finally told myself to heck it and just go through with the course.must think POSTIVE!wahahaha.11weeks-endure 7 weeks and we'll be off to taiwan for 3 weeks!woohoo.now i just hope that my leg recovers soon so that i can cope with training.
11 weeks of fun filled excitment.
woohoo!

went sentosa with class yesterday with class.although not everyone went,it was fun!
ching's candid shot
kel's failed candid shot.lol
saw this cute boy wearing the white ranger suit!
artistic
my forfeit-taste some disgusting looking mixture
we had dinner at kenny rogers. when we got there the place was packed,so we had to wait quite awhile to get a 11-seater.we waited for damn long and there was this large group of tai tais with their husband hogging their table.Coincidentally the table was big enough to fit us, and coincidentally they KNEW that we were waiting for a table, but they REFUSED to move.BITCHES. eventually the table next to them left before them and we were able to dine.just as we settled down the BITCHES left.wth right.grrrrrrrr.
luckily i felt shiok after eating =D
in army i was told that PAIN IS TEMPORARY,GLORY IS FOREVER
yesterday eugene told me that PRIDE IS TEMPORARY,INJURY IS FOREVER
haa..how true.lol
being the last minute me, i started packing for tmr only just now.even so it took me a couple of hours just to pack...and guess what-i forgot to pack in my underwear!wth.only after i showering then did i realise.zZ
wah lau..the more i think about serving ns the more sian i feel.i just want to faster finish up my remaining 1 year and 8 months and move on to uni.GRR.
i hope i wont be drafted to a fucked up company.*prays*
i hope this 10 weeks pass faster *prays*
must tell myself to press on and pull thru.haa.
endure endure.
tomorrow i will sing 6 more days to book-out day.

very quickly,2 days have gone by since i 'pop-ed'
was feeling too lazy to upload the photos and blog,but decided that i didnt want to forget anything.
9 weeks of bmt-now that it's over,whats my feeling?3/4 happy and 1/4 sad.happy because bmt's finally over and i can enjoy my block leave!sad because i will have to move on to the next phase of my military life,which will be much more tough as compared to bmt life.i just want to stay at my block leave dayssss.lol.
anyway,during these 9 weeks i made new friends,learn new stuff,blah blah blah...
i didnt really enjoy my first half of bmt.unfamilar faces,away from civilian rights.
but i can confidently say that i enjoyed my last few,esp last week of bmt life.annex room,more bonding within section,more free time.shiok shiok!
i'm quite blessed but yet not that blessed at the same time.
blessed in the sense that i have a nice section,unlike my friend-he got quite a half-fucked section.i feel that my section's full of interesting and fun people =D
not so blessed in the sense that i was drafted into a quite screwed up company.i'm not saying Orion is no good,besides the screwed up training timetable,screwed up book out timings,screwed up company spirit during games day and the lack of admin time during my stay there,everything else is alright.i certainly hope that whereever i'm goin next, the commanders there can be more efficient and organized.
orion coy,platoon 2,section 1-we rock!
serious face
section 1 once again!
my buddy!
orion 2
now i got till 24th to play my hearts out,but i'm currently having a rather bad sorethroat,hope it doesnt lead to anything worse.
i'm seriously overspending!omg..soon i will have no more $$ left in my bank-again.haha
hoping to meet up with all my friends before i go back in again!

many thanks to my mum,who took care of me during this period of time.although you're damn naggy and it gets on my nerves at times,but i know it's for my own good.lol..
thanks to my bunkmates who helped me carry my fieldpack,care for me,etc etc..(my buddy cleaned my rifle for me!)really thanks lots guys.
and to those who asked about my health..thanks too =]
when i was sick nothing seemed to mattered,everything else was meaningless,my whole mind was in a whirl and i couldnt differentiate right from wrong.i'm serious..i felt damn lost and confused.suddenly everything seemed impossible,all your dreams and hopes were like dashed.to sum it up,it wasnt a nice feeling,dont try it.lol
i never knew that a headache would lead to such shit.Zz.
now i just wanna get back my strength as soon as possible,i'm still feeling damn weak.ippt is coming up and i really want to do well for it.
i miss so many things now..
i miss all the nice food!being ill is like having an invisible wall seperating you from the nice food.lol
i miss all my friends! since ns, i haven been able to keep up with alot of them..
i miss tioman!i miss the crystal clear water there,miss the laid back and relax life there!
i miss school!minus all the exams of course..wahaha
i miss outdoor and adventure!
i miss cycling-all the expeditions and adventure!
i miss my health!zZ
and of course..i miss my civilian life.whats new.lol
15 more days to POP! =]

in camp the only thing i look forward to is book out day.
but once out, i keep thinking of many things.
and once out, i realised i have nothing to do.
feeling so lost.
this feeling is getting from bad to worst every time i'm out.
THIS FEELING SUCKS!
and i cant book out next week either.
this world sucks.

30th apr 2007
i'm not saying that booking out is not nice,book out day is the only damn thing almost all recurits look forward to.Just that the feeling it gives me is that i'm neither here nor there.chim chim i know.haha
class outing turned out to be gab,hb,roy and i.the rest backed out last min.
met ton and the rest for lan,we just played and barely interacted.
met amanda,kx and some of the rest for dinner but we met for barely a few hours before goin home.
spent the rest of my time catching up on my sleep, watching tv and using the comp at home.
certain people i wanna meet, but unable to do so.sadded.
what a meaningful first bookout eh?zZz
cannot cannot!must remain postive!i must tell myself that i'm fully rested and ready for FIELD CAMP!WOOHOOO!yea right.
tmr gonna meet up with mich and gang for movie!but its gonna be kinda rush since the guys are booking in at night.well,better than nothing i guess.
we all agreed that 'once in our life,2 years of our time' really screws up any guy's life.i miss schooling life! humans really learn to cherish something only when they lose it.tsk tsk.
they say that to be able to function as a soldier,you must first die.
i'm dying.

kx's pop
went over tekong for kx's pop.tekong's a scenic island to my surprise, and bmtc really looked like a chalet!haha.orientated myself around my future home in 18 days time.
in 3 months time, i'll be one of them.
beautiful view from tekong chalet.
seeing all the trainees and hearing all the stories made me feel like i wasnt ready to go in.haha.fat and unfit now,i'm so gonna suffer when i get in.lol.oh well,18 more days left.
Sentosa
hit the beach yesterday.we took sentosa express!a new way to get in instead of the usual bus.the best part?it cost just $3,same as taking the bus.wahaha
we were issued some ez-link-like card that acted as our ticket.cool!
$15 to rent a sunbathing deck.wth!i'd rather lie on the sand.lol
ahh..this is the life!i'm lovin' it! =D
woooohoooooooo~
<3 LMAO
normally after the beach people would head to the public toilet for a cold refreshing shower,but we got adventurous and decided to sneak into rasa sentosa's poolside toilet
our small side 'entrance' into the hotel compound
they even had a pooside bar!wa lau.5 star hotels.zZ
the toilet came equipped with hot water,soap....
and even a hair dryer!things the common toilet wont have.lol!
5 star toilet.
feeling proud of our successful 'break in' =P

hantu ride with terra outdoors
93.16km
went with kit to follow this 'hantu ride' organised by a outdoor activities company by the name of terra outdoors.the ride was supposed to visit spooky places at chua chu kang,but the actual ride wasnt spooky at all.although one of the guys there supposably saw 3 figures walking among us while we had our water break at cck cemetery, i didnt feel anything at all while we were there.the ride was about 22km and lasted for about 2hours plus.the ride there and back by ourselves was more enjoyable.
nearly got knock down twice on our way to lakeside.first time was at geylang there when this lorry sudden came out of nowhere and cut into my path.i was so pissed that i showed him the middle finger.the second time was at commonwealth area when this car suddenly cut out from taxi stand into our path.both kit and i jammed our brakes, but we were goin at like 37 so there was barely enough reaction time.kit missed the car by inches while i missed kit's rear dee by centimeters.i pull out onto the center of the road..heng there was no car goin pass,otherwise i wont be sitting here typing this liao.wonder how these people passed their basic theory.wth.
the 'chan' guy yesterday really saved me by telling me not to do my 'aero' position.
came home and saw the bird sleeping in the nest it built!
so cute rite!haha.i assume that it's stting on eggs.cant wait for them to hatch!
its 4.22am now..guess i'm gonna wake up damn late again tmr.wa lao!everytime wanna sleep early always end up sleeping so damn 'early'.zZ
Saturday, March 17, 2007
16 march 2007
went with kit to follow some people at coastal jus now.managed to keep up with their last rider, but i'm sure that i wont be able to keep up with the front pack.or maybe it's because i dont dare to try?
i think i suck.sometimes its easy to spot the mistakes,but seem almost impossible to correct them.wth
sometimes i really think too much.zZ

14 march 2007
we went to explore around in search for the peak ah boy was talking about,we didnt manage to find it,but we had a good time off road.vegetation everywhere,with a path thats barely there.haha,reminded me of that time when kit and i nearly got lost at bukit timah and had to use our bikes to chop our way thru to civilisation.
we human beings like to run away from reality.many of us dont have the courage to face up to the truth,so we tend to tell ourselves things or do things to make us feel better.maybe running is the best tactic?jus like in sun tze art of war.lmao.others may feel that facing the music seem to be the best way out.sigh.
where do you draw your strength from?
Tuesday, March 13, 2007
13 march 2007
the last day of the it fair was crazy.swarms of people moving around,human traffic was at its peak.be it mrt or citylink or suntec, it was so darn hard and tiring to manouver around.Zz
well at least it wasnt a wasted trip,i bought a new speaker system,mich and zh both got themselves ipods.wont be goin to any fairs in the near future,haha.phobia.
on the way home i saw this guy reading a POKEMON GUIDE.i'm not saying that adults cant read pokemon guides,jus that it's...uncommon?hah.
my speakers!wasted i dont have a better sound card,otherwise i'd have bought the 5.1 system.sadded.sound quality's superb though-for $29 that is.
basic theory was yesterday.i passed.lol
went airport after the test,visited the budget terminal.it was budget alright.we thought that it was under renovations when we first stepped into the arrival hall.haha!
saw this english backpacker.someday,i wanna be like him.so cool.
Saturday, March 10, 2007
10 march 2007
i must have looked like some retard sleeping with my mouth wide open on the mrt.haha.totally drained of energy after a long day touring ntu and nus. i'd say that the crowd at ntu seems much more lively as compared to that at nus.wonder why?lol.
if you ever dine at nus,DONT ever go to this 'great wall restaurant'.i repeat,DONT.unless you want to waste your $$$. we kenna culture shock while we were there.
appetizing eh?
dinner was so much nicer at pizza hut.now we know how to get 2 for 1 pizzas.at pizza hut.lol
diao kia!lmao
the ntu campus is like much nicer as compared to the nus campus.can imagine myself leading campus life.wahaha.k stop dreaming,not as if they are willing to take me in.zZ.
enjoyed myself today.lol.
1 month from now
09 march 2007
felt great to be outdoors again!outdoors as in o-u-t-d-o-o-r-s.haha not go downstairs buy food that kinda outdoors.if you've $4 to spare and nothing to do,you should really use it to visit ubin.for $2,the boat ride is really worth it.the feeling of the sea breeze blowing against you is simply ecstatic.wahaha.with her wide diversity of flora and fauna,she's certainly one of spore's 'hidden' eden.
did you know that you can find starfishes on ubin?
bet you dont
did you know that you can find seahorses on ubin?
bet you dont too=D
a pity it was high time while we were there,so we didnt manage to experience chek jawa
fisherman in action!something we city dwellers dont get to see oft
self service pls!no blangah to help you change lamp
roy:tsk!why am i so 'wad'?!?!why?!?!
'wild' boar
so cute!budden they are caged up.so poor things
bukit puaka-74m off ground
scenic eh
although i've been to ubin countless times,but everytime i go back,i find myself discovering new stuff.it can simply be the small little things that i overlooked the previous time i was there.i will go back there again =D
300
managed to catch 300 for free.courtesy of mich's company.wahahaha.it not too bad a show,i would rate it 3.5 out of 5 ba.at certain parts it felt like i was sitting with 300 other ppl in the cinema watching porn.haha.breasts were spilled and dicks were shown.haha!no la.but there were breasts and artistic sex scene though.lol.ladies,if you're after men with 8packs,do go watch the show and gentlemen,if you're after breasts,do avoid watching the show.haha.lots of killing and dying,however they changed the story.history records tells us that the battle was fought with much more spartans and more allies to began with.
today i came home to a surprise-a bird started a nest at my doorstep!not literally my doorstep la.jus on some unused wire hanging near my door.i was so excited that i kept snapping away with my camera.lol
aint it cool?!the bird's very shy,so whenever there's any noise or movement alien to it,it would not go anywhere near the nest.i dont think the bird's really gonna use the nest,considering my neighbour is rather lively.haha.sadded.
oh ya.LAN's really fun when you're playin with your friends =D
and RISK gets boring after awhile.lol
