plans are just plans if nothing is done about them.
dreams are just dreams if you dont have money to carry them out
plans are STILL just plans if you are lazy and cant be bothered.haa


dont get me wrong,doesnt mean we shouldnt plan.haha



NS guys should know how i feel.
you dont want to go back but you know that eventually you have to
you know that maybe after you book in it might not be that bad but you just dont feel like bookin in
to sum it up.BOOK IN BLUES


i cant believe it.i'm having a 2 days workweek yet i'm still getting the blues.haa.
maybe its because i have SOC tomorrow and i know i cant clear it.




went to camera hospital today and they told me my camera is beyond repair
=[



p.s. my lungs' been feeling queasy since i woke up from my afternoon nap.sure hope it's nothing

11 nov 08

I'M ON A SELLING SPREE!

DO drop by ebay or vr-zone to check out my items for sale.who knows?you might just find yourself a little treat =]username: rico_perfect
oh man i sound so salesman material.haha.they should just invite me to NTU school of business.LOL


many a times we dream,but it ends there.especially in singapore-the land of building sandcastles in the air.because of the many 'requirement' like education and NS and boring-office-jobs-that-feed-your-family,people give up chasing their dreams and their wants.not me.

AIM AND ACHIEVE


rofl.



how?should i take part?the process is quite troublesome though.hmm.


gloomy skies hovering above our 'sunny' island,tsk tsk.little wonder why the mood's so dull

p.s. i'm hungry for photography
p.p.s. i think i'm not gonna make it for 42.195.lol

i'm having a preview of my post army life these few days.


hanging out with friends.do my own stuff.wake up late.
SO MUCH FREEDOM


I LOVE BEING ON OFF!it totally rocks.seriously.



really dread going back =[

09 NOV 08

shopping is probably one of my favourite past times.says who only girls can shop.lol.

we raided queenstown today,but to my disappointment most of the shoes i liked ran out of sizes.

just when i thought all hope was gone.

.

.

.

.

.

i found my lastest running companion!

TA-DA!! ain't she beautiful.yes.she is.lol

alex's way of tying shoelace-stopper style!

no untidy laces flying around and your shoe wont come undone again while you're running!

and i think it looks cool eh.

now i'm ready for 42.195!

maybe with alittle more training.lol

the shoe complex wasnt enough to statisfy us,so we went on to anchorpoint,the ATAS shopping mall.the whole place was filled with 'outlets'(where stuff of that particular brand's supposed to be cheaper).found some nice looking shirts on discount and bought them without hesitation.muhahaha.

after that....

window shopping and meatball feast @ ikea was beyond words =D

oh.met wai kit this morning for a photoshoot at tamp biking trail,which turned out to be a complete failure.the sky was a boring sheet of grey and the landscape was littered with sore-looking HDB flats and construction cranes in the background.

this was probably one of the better shots

let's hope this can win us something.haha.

my life rocks now.

it'll be even better with more $$$ at my expense =]

i've offically joined club 20!
omg.i'm actually leaving teenage-hood behind.
scary.


rice table @ international hotel

new york new york @ ehub + kbox

everynight sleep damn late and go to work next day and SLEEP =D
'cept that the transport fee's kinda ex.lol.every other day i'm donating $10 to SMRT
not that i'm complaining
but
I'M RUNNING OUT OF $$$

tomorrow's the last day of my short-lived 8 to 5 life.
but it's alright,cos i'm on off for next week!woohoo!
think it's been one month plus since i last saw my camp.wahaha.shiok.


recently some of my friends just ORD-ed.shiok sia.

Halloween!!

MY COMP BROKE DOWN =[

it just decided to give up on me on fine night.sadded.
this reserve comp is so laggy and error-prone
blah.have to make do-till my comp gets repaired.
HP support-hurry!

timbre @ the arts house was great!
prefer it to the substation.
quite surprised to see that town was quite happening on halloween
maybe we should all dress up next year.wahaha!

i didnt intend to sleep,but i KO-ed anyway..lol.whats new.
woke up,went to develop my 2 rolls of film.really hope this set turns out nice!


well,3 weeks ago i was sitting on NZ 1952,waiting in anticipation,wondering what was in store for me down under.
3 weeks on, i can proudly say that I SURVIVED THE OUTBACK!

training's been fun,realistic and enjoyable.so many first times and new experiences for me
saw kangeroos and emuls in the wild.
night was freezing with temperature at 7 degrees
but the magnificent blanket of stars that dotted the sky made up for it
day was hot like hell up to 38 degrees but we were lucky to have the clouds
plus the humidity level there's like sub zero.damn dry!i luv it dry.wahaha
witnessed forest fire upclose
the sunset there influences a beautiful gradient upon the cloudless sky
scenery there will leave you speechless
many many other fun stuff that's RESTRICTED and cant be mentioned here for OBVIOUS REASONS.haa

R&R was fun too!my motel had LCD TV sia.woohoo!
australian babes are generally rather hot.
food's superb but kinda ex.
and they end the day like super duper early.
their amount of space there's madness.everything's so spaced out and unrestricted!no high rise buildings in sight and the backdrop's just mountains.woo.love it.

photos from my t-10:

last glimpse of home

toilet in the middle of now where!!!

view from my bed

saw this advert in a local paper --__--"

it sure was refreshing to be on the sea once again.made a trip to ubin and back.found this tranquil amazon-like place on ubin waters!can u believe it?!?!pity no photos though as i didnt want to do anything sucidal to my cam.
with the sea breeze carassing my face and the choppy seawater bobbing my sea vehicle up and down.

pure shiokness.


pre flight admin is totally crazy.it's not helping that the potatos are asking for every single item that's outbound to be mud,sand and dirt free.

so many things to do

thank goodness i'm feeling better now.


i know i'm abit lag but 200 pound beauty is such a nice show!maria~~lol.


been awhile since i met anyone.think i'm becoming a hermit.noooooooooooooooo.

06 july 2008

i'm still alive k.wahahaha


2 way to view this week:

view no 1:
my heart pounded with everystep i take.my back's aching but my mind pushes me on,mind over body as they say.i look around me-pitch dark.i flicked on my night vision and my surroundings was suddenly lit up by a blanket of green light,illuminating my path before me.navigating in the dark was already difficult enough, not to mention the weight of an entire company resting upon my shoulders.one wrong turn and it could meant misorientation for 100 odd men following behind me.the guys must be cursing and swearing at how endless the trail seemed,especially those with heavy weapons.i came to a halt at a cross juntion; left or right?upon instinct,i took the right path.after a couple metres,a cleaved log told me that i was on the right track.thank goodness.

a few hours later, dawn had broken and we were doing our re-organization of forces.Objective .265 fell after a fierce half an hour long fire fight with us emerging victorious.Casualties were inevitable,the wounded and dead were carried to collection points where they were either treated or piled up.

"alright!grab your gear and commanders deploy your individual mens' trenches."

we then transited into defence.



view no 2:
my boots dirty and my body aching.foot rot and heat rash were 2 very irritating momentos from the exercise.it's the same old boring routine once again.wonder how long would it take for this one to heal.sigh.i hate heat rash.grr.i hate outfield.dirty,disgusting,gross and muddy.blah.





see?in life it's how you look at things.
although view no 1 seem abit hard to adopt.nvm,the feeling's grown numb to me.
7 more months. =]



wasted my weekend sleeping.really cant figure whats an effective way of fighting the Z monster.waste of time.totally.

jealous of my friends' lives.exciting lives.dont think they can understand what heat rash feels like.haha.so many things i wanna do,so many things i wanna buy.
$$$ the key to all(most) problems.Zz.i WANT a lappy in my bunk! =[
