As the days goes by...

Hmm as days goes by.... and i am adapting to the life in the Band things don't seem that bad after all. Going back after a super long weekend (sat, sun and mon, including tue mc 'leave' =P), dad gave me a ride to work as it was raining which gave me ample time to get to the white house and didn't have to rush like mad, thx dad...

Today was a rather simple day, mostly IP (individual practise, sad for me that i didn't bring along my flute) for the first half of the day, then in the afternoon after lunch went to the medical center to submit some form from the hospital and schedule for my physio... Was actually asked to undergo an operation for my shoulder, but that would have cost me my chance in performing for nyp in the concert as well as being posted out from the SAFband therefore i decided to turn down the offer and see how things goes... When i went back, joined the guys for drill lessons, practise on the drills that we are going to be tested... and i must say i am not bad in it liao... lolx... after drill lessons that day was over... heez life seems simple huh... well its not always like that, maybe its the holiday season that y its 'abit slack' after this week i guess its down to real business...

Yesterday band prac was quite fun... though i wasn't very satisfied with my own tone... but overall i can start to see improvement in the band, and i can also sense that lao shi's expectations are increasing after every practise... that is really great...well one thing is for sure... that is flute section have become stronger compared to when i first join the band... and everyone is practising really hard... really feels good to see such a thing happening... should say i seen its 'grow' in a sense... Just hope that this carries on and improve even more... Yawnz nothing left for me to blog liao.... juz wanted someplace to write some thoughts and what better place then blogger... heez.. alright cheers pple...

Xmas Weekend

HoHoHo... merry chirstmas... heez... know its abit late but since today entry is going to talk about my chirstmas so i tot i better send my greetings... better late then never i would always say...heez

Friday was a halfday working day.... practically rotting then 4 hours in camp (8 to 1230) had been told to do sectional at that very morning when i have not bring my flute as we were told the previous day we were suppose to have theroy lessons... anyway did a little reading of the scores anyhow...had it for 2 hours before the actual theroy lessons at 10, went through some papers before the day was over... and everyone make our move home and plans for later... was kinda bored therefore look for xiu, and we met up for a movie, "The Phantom of the Opera", very nice show i feel, was kinda moved by one of the scene, Xiu totally lost it seeing tears running down her chin non stop... before the movie we had swensens, been awhile since i had it... after the main course we even share a banana split too, was yummy. after the show we both went home to prepare ourselves as we are meeting later in the evening to go sasa's bbq at east coast. Brought 3 different alcohol for the occasion ( bailey's, tequlia and a coffee liqure which i haven't an idea wat the name is... heez.) finish the coffee one first as there was little left, was kinda good... then was tequlia everyone tried a shot, then had more when we play "zhong ji mi mah" with forfeit of "Truth, Dare, or Drink" its was really fun seeing some of them doing the Dare... couldn't stop laughing... Then Dennis came to meet up with us not long before we count down to christmas... after the countdown all of us happily left the pit for dennis's place... at his place we watch some tv before setting up the PS for a game of DDR, that is the first time i tried it... kinda fun, a good way to lose weight... to make things more interesting, we (Sherine and I) started taking shots of tequlia till we can hardly stand straight... was really funny looking at sherine drunk talk... then close to morning we all took a nap, i completely knocked out once i lied down... was kinda drunk but was really tired... woke up on Xmas morning with a sore back and neck... but recovered after a little stretching, had breakfast with dennis before making my was home for a shower and another nap...

That evening, i met up with xiu and sherine for a walk in town, decided to give breeks another chance, this time around its wasn't that disappointing as the service was better compared to the last time. Was thinking of catching a movie but was not successful as there wasn't a slots, so we did some window shopping before calling it a day... and that is Xmas day

Sunday i am a guai boi stay at home the entire day, did some self practise on my flute then in the evening went over to my uncle place for Xmas celebration, sort of a family gather... not sure why, but it doesn't seem as fun as it use to, maybe its because i have grown up and no longer that playful, got home at about 12 plus that night after the gift exchange...

Today, well have day off (courtesy of SAF band), when all my fellow buddies from BMT have to report back, i am slacking out enjoying the day away... Well did something quite fulfulling today, went back to school and gave sectional to my juniors (Adeline, Waileng and Feng Cheng), haha the session went for 3 hours and we only went through one piece of music, warm up and tuning methods... hopefully they found it useful, then i met up with Sherine and we all went to Jalan Kayu for some prata before going home... sherine brought camera so we had quite a fun time taking pictures... heez...

Anyway, this is my Xmas weekend, short and sweet... hahaha next week is New year... that will be a new chapter.. for now, juz wanna wish all a belated merry xmas and an advance happy new year!!!

Nice night out

First weekend ever since i have graduated from BTMC and i am loving it... unit life is indeed different from tekong... the things are so much older here and the rules and regulation is indeed different around here... Oh yah, i got selected into the Singapore Armed Forces Band for those who didn't know... life might seemed easy as there isn't stay in but well, it isn't really much wat it seems like... life there can be really stressful and i am still trying to cope with the pressure there... hopefully it will be better in times to come...

Anyway, enough about camp... now back to my weekend... yesterday meet up with "the girls" (sherine, xiu and sasa) in town to do some shopping... since i haven't had any plans so i decided to join them... we meet up at Somerset mrt station and then proceed on to town to look around... Cineleisure seem rather quiet... maybe it because its too early in the day (about close to 1 pm)After taking Neo prints at cine, we settled down at Breeks (taka) for lunch was quite a "waiting session" rather then lunch session, first we waited like for 10 mins for our seats, then when we are seated, make our orders and waited for the food to come... when we are done, we still had to wait for our bill as there is a problem with their machine... service there is seriously not up to the standard to be operating in taka... i will still visit breeks as the food isn't that bad but will think twice about going to that branch again... After that, we did more looking around of shop and gossips along the way... then Sherine had to leave to meet her other fren in town, so its left with the 3 of us shopping around... went to look around at levis and since Xiu was trying on some jeans, i decided to try on some myself... haha... Suprisingly, i was able to get into some of the jeans and look kinda good in it as well... (feedback from Xiu and Sasa...thx =P) In the end, Xiu and i got one pair of jeans each and i even got a wrist pouch as we spend over 180 bucks... after there, it was about 7 plus in the evening, and Sasa had to leave to his grandpa's place to celebrate his bday... so me and Xiu continued our shopping till about 8 plus before i met up with herbert and dennes for a movie "National Treasures" and Xiu left to meet her frens for plans that night... the movie was superb i would say... at least i feel the storyline was very nicely written... after the movie its was time to make our way home as herbert didn't had his car... Reach home at about 12 mn then did some last min "homework" before calling it a night

Today, woke up, then do some packing of those unwanted documents and did a little practise on my pieces... been rather relax... Tml is the start of a new week... wonder wat is install for us... this coming wednesday i will be ic for the day... will be looking forward to it... hopefully i dun mess it up... alright then guess that is all i have... next week is Xmas, so looking forward to it... haven have anything plan out yet... but will try to tink of someting in time to come... Cheers...

today is yet another day

Haven't been updating my blog ever since i have entered the army... too busy, guess not but too lazy, DEFINATELY *grinz

Well today went town with my best friend herber, who went for his medical checkup for army (wahaha...finally its his turn...) had sushi at sakei (since its buffet hour so wat the heck =p) both of us hammered about 30 odd plates before calling quits... might seems alot u might tink, but well we used to be able to hammer at least 40 plus, jus the 2 of us believe it or not... lolx.... so after a satisfying meal, we went to do some window shopping around HMV and paragon... then i when to get my seiko watch fixed... after the professional looked at it, i have decided to get a full maintenance on it... total up to 98 bucks (abit steep but well wat to do... its my watch)... The rain clouds then slowly settled in town, and withot warning, it started raining cats and dogs... lucky we are fast runner, if not we would de "chicken in the stew" (luo tang ji in chinese)... since stuck in cine with nothing to do, me and my buddy decided to catch a movie juz to pass time... was suppose to meet princess irene to get my birthday present too...so yah... watch "After the sunset", not bad a movie... abit of laugh and alot of hot babes... heez.. then once we are done we headed home, a short trip down town but a fruitful day spent (at least better then rotting at home right...)

Once home, had a light dinner, then took a break before going for a run around the neighbourhood. Not sure if i have fully recovered from my fever, still felt abit weak in everything i did... and getting breathless rather easily... hmm starting to feel abit worried... Anyway, was extremely cautious of my right hand, as there is always a twitch of pain if i swing it too quickly or hard... haiz.... i am so weak after i had dislocated my shoulder.... how i wish non of these have ever happen, and i have past out from camp a healthy person... at least dreams of command skool is still within reach and i won't have so many things to worry about.... but its all too late to say this now... juz have to take a step at a time i guess..... that all for today then... band pract tml, likely to be the last (depending on the unit i am dispatched to) hopefully i would enjoy it then.... Nites to all... *MUACKS

Doctor visits

Hello pple, its me blogging again.. not feeling very well so tot i keep this short and sweet...

Today had to wake up earlier as i have a medical appointment at CGH for my shoulder... LiLi, was kind enough to accompany me (heez thx arh) met her at simei mrt station before heading for the hospital, was constantly rushed by the medical staff as i guess someone before me cancelled their appointment so they allow me to go earlier... was told to change to the robe... now i noe how girls feel when in a skirt... airy man... heez... *blush*. Oh yah haven tell you guys what the check up was all about... its known as the MRI (don't ask me the long form, i cannot remember... =P) its sort of a scan to see the level or damage that have been incurred to my ligements and muscles around the shoulder..Before the actual scan, i have to undergo a minor "surgery" where the doc insert a needle in the middle of the joint and insert so liquid to enlarge to area so that its will be more effective to see even the finest of damage... its was quite a scary moment, as i actually witness the entire process from the monitor showing my shower and then putting someting in it... at the fluid was inserted, there was a strange feeling like my hand is going to dislocate itself again... that feeling is and will always be in my head man... when i left for the scan... i didn't quite dare to move that shoulder of mine and did watever the doctor asked me to do... The MRI machine is a giant magnetic, they first placed someting on my shoulder then straped me to the bed, they even put earphones one my head so that i can listen to music while the scan commence (the process is rather noisy). The entire process took about 30 mins... poor lili have to wait for me (so paiseh) after that, we left, by then was time for lunch so i treat lili to lunch as a sign or gratitude. and since lili have plans in the afternoon, we walked around the mall or tampines till it was time for her to go, after that i loitered alone for awhile before returning hope to take nap... was super tired... wonder if its was the medication they insert...

When i woke up, about 7 in the evening, wasn't feeling very well, feeling cold on the outside but really heated up on the inside... can sense a fever coming up.... hopefully tonite after medication will feel better tml... haiz.... guess that is all for "the advantures or Ryan Koh" so stay tune to the next episode, same channel, donno wat time...!!! muaHAhhahhaHAH =P

POP lo!~!~

Yipee... my very first day as the status private... the feeling is juz so strange. after 4 months of training, all for this very day.... all was worth it...

Yesterday was a tiring day man! really a test for everyone, as they had walked for 24km, they started from 7 pm of 1 december (MINE BIRTHDAY) and walked all the way till 4am the next morning. its drain off every ounce of energy out from everyone man.... on the last day, everyone was allowed to sleep till 10am and were to do their finally packing and area cleaning of the place before getting ready for the passing out parade. i was up at 8 yesterday morning, when everyone else was fast aslp, i was too excited to slp so i took a shower and started packing my stuff. as i was packing, i constantly looked at the bunk as i know that was the last time i was going to see it... after packing, i still have lotsa time to pace around the place to take a look at the company for the last time...and as everyone else slowly got up and prepared for time, i spend the time taking pictures and all.. its was very fun... and once done, we brought all our stuff downstairs and to the holding area, before going for our last meal there. After lunch we went back to companyline where OC gave his speech... its was really a touching moment for me, as we show our heart felt thanks for out OC, then he gave out some awards before we we called to fall in and head to the parade square for our big moment... god was kind enough to have gave us good weather (there was a quick shower before that), but was kinda hot. When we got to tekong parade square everyone lined up and waited for the big moment to enter. And as the drum beat of the band starts, everyone marched smartly into the parade square. once in there, everyone stood smartly as a series of events takes place. The heat was so intents that quite a number of them fainted. One of my friend fainted forward and bruised himself so badly, hear when he was carried out there was blood all over his mouth... scary. but the show must go on..... and there was a march pass before the offical parade was over... then we rushed off to put our stuff and prepare for the second half of the parade.... we got line up in the parade and they invited out parent forward to put on our cap for us... after the parents were as to leave the parade square, they announce us offically privates and we tossed our cap into the air to signifies our graduation, and we hugged each other with joy, some were even in tears, i am sure they are tears of joy... then as we waitied for our time to leave the island, we took quite a number of photos man... with the Sirs, sergents, and fellow mates... its a moment to be remember forever man... As we get out bags and were lining up to get on board the ferry, memories of when i first step on that very same ferry terminal waiting to serve my NS and all the wonderful moments i have spent one that island started rushing to me... and i must say i did felt my eyes watered... cannot really believe i am saying this, but tink i am really gonna miss tekong, a place that have brought me so many memories and started my jouney as a NSF...

Life is unfair man

All i thought was 2 more weeks and i am through with BMT, i guess i was wrong... My worse fear have finally come true... i am about to be place Out Of Training (OOT) haiz.... WHY ME! i have been asking myself...

Yesterday mark the end of my longest weekend since entering the army, and also signals 2 weeks before Passing Out. Went for my specialist check up yesterday, and its seems that everything was fine so i return to camp sometime around 2, then i went to the Medical Center to endose my MC and there was my worse news ever... the MO decided to put my OOT due to my condition and deem me unfit to carry on with training.... the news hit me like i got smashed real hard against the wall man... its was devastating.... I went back to company line told my sir about it. he too was very displeased as there wasn't anymore major events left and we are so close to passing out, he ssay he would try to do someting about it... meanwhile i got mc to say at home to nurse my arm... haiz.... who would have guess a dislocation could wipe off all i have done for this past 3 months... this is insane, thinking about it makes me insane... Haiz....just praying really hard now that my sir is able to change the status thingy... and i can complete BMT successfully.... *sigh

Wonderful weekend

Helo.... tot i update my blog a little, since i can onli do so once a week... heez.. Had a wonderful day yesterday man.... haven enjoyed myself like that for awhile man... let my "hair" down and have fun *heez...

Yesterday after book out, got home did some laundry before meeting sherine in town for a movie. Went to catch Ladder 49, and i must say its worth every single cent spend man, serious a good movie to catch, very touching, even got me on the verge of tears... after movie, we met up with Zhong Xi, and went for window shopping, and snap a few neo prints, haha haven't took that in ages, and its rather amazing how those machines evolved to be... (haiz... lao le ba... heez...) we walked from one shopping mall to another, basically for me is to update myself on the latest trends and stuff... walked into a shop and saw a nice pair of shoes which i like, my team of "fashion professionals" also said it was nice, but i decided to wait for more "professional advise" before making the decision, so we carried on window shopping, and looked for shoulder support (as i had dislocated my shoulder), but it seems that a shoulder support is way expensive, therefore i drop the idea and decided to go for traditional bandage instead. When the evening sets in, everyone was pretty much gathered as we were joined by Xiu and Dennis... haha its been a long time since i last saw Dennis, and he is still as siao as ever... all of us have diffculty settling on where to eat (either there was a long quite or its not of out liking) but finally settle down at a resturant at Paragon. Had a contented meal (courtesy of Mr. Dennis... thx) After that, we went back to the same shop and after more professional advise. i bought that part of shoes.. heez... we then went for a little sip at tcc in cine. and chat the night away, Xiu brought camera so we took a few pics as well... Drinks was on me, coz its not nice to let Dennis pay for everything all the time, was feeling kinda bad already... and we call its a day as many have curfews, so we parted and dennis gave us (me zhongxi and sherine) a ride home. Its was truly and awesome day man... enjoyed every bit of it... thx guys

Heez... today iis a sunday again, going back camp tonight... haiz... with an injury, life is going to be pretty slack, as i couldn't participate in many of the event, especially a once in a lifetime event (army confidental, so not going to say), but well the good thing is that there is going to be 4 more plus week to POP... have to try losing another 5 to 7 kg in 30days.... shall try my best then.... Anyway that all i have for the weekend i guess.... hopefully there will be more nice weekend to come... heez... Cheers.....

One month and One week to passing out!!!

Hey there pple, its me again, know its been awhile since i last updated my blog... and i really have to apologise to those that have been supporting my blog for so long, for that long wait, but well i am in the army, so there isn't much time every weekend to do this.

Its been 2 months (since enlistment) that i am in the Singapore Armed Forces. The feeling of being in the army so far have been not bad, slowly feeling that i am really growing from a boy to a man of many responsibilities. Guess its really true to say that in army, a person indeed do grow in character. Apart from changes personally, i have also seen changes in many other pple from my platoon, from timid guys to brave young man, from hopeless cases to those that aims to go command school such as SISPEC and OCS. Indeed i have to say its been a wonderful experience so far. As almost all major event (like field camp, SIT test, etc) is over, this last few weeks is basically to select those suitable for command school, and preparing our bunks and stuff for the next batch of Gryphon Warriors, to embark on this once in a lifetime experience. What lies ahead i am not really sure, still have 20 odd months as an NSF before getting back my pink ic. will i be in command school, or juz a man running around the unit i am not sure, though i personally really wish for saf band, but wat lies ahead i am really not sure. but for one thing i am sure is that i will try my best in watever lies ahead. As the saying goes, days goes by whether you are happy or sad, so why not make it a happy experience. haha seems to have been saying alot of craps. well at least better that writing a whole lot of things about my daily life in field camp right. (though i did consolidate everything in a diary). Currently, my vision for the rest of my BMT is to enjoy watever i do, whether or not i am going to pass my IPPT is no longer important to me, as long as i know i did my best i am alright. Another is to lose more weight within this month, so that even if i go unit, i would have an easier time controlling it. Other than that i guess is to spend quality time with all my mates, sergeants and sirs i guess... donno if we will have any chance of meeting them again once out of BMT.

Guess thats all the things i have to say man.... One month plus to passing out... really counting down the days man.. heez... In the meantime, study hard all my frens who is going to have your exams soon, and do take care of yourself, miss you guys alot and JIA YOU WO!~!~!

Finally the day its here....

Now its 1 plus am, meaning its offically wed and i am 14 hours away from my new chapter of life.... hahah.... ARMY!!!

Many things have took place tonight.... went to collect my black plastic frame glasses, when i looked at the mirror when i have them on, it seriously look like i am all prepared for army man... with the botak head and the glasses... at that i rushed down to skool and met up with jac and gang, to watch Xu Hui Xin in skool, she in person is really fair and rather small built, the concert ended at about 7 plus, so after the rushed down for band... Was hoping to see the whole flute section since was my last prac, but too bad i didn't, Sherine and Shi Jia was sick (take care ya... health more impt), Andy Tan was not there... haiz... Anyway its ok lah...i enjoyed the entire practise anyway... there was so many familiar faces, the thought of may and xiu rush down from work juz to bid be farewell really got me real touched man (thx gers). When practise ended and everyone was packing up... i reluctantly packed my Altus flute thinking when will be the next time we will meet again.... then as i am done, i looked at the whole band and try to hold my tears back... really gonna miss them alot... there were already tear rolling in my eyes.... but i manage to swallow them back in... shook quite a number of hands... even got a hug from carol... (so touched.... almost teared out at that moment, but managed to hold it in...) wanted to hug more people, but they all looked paiseh... and didn't really dare express themselve... so in the end i didn't... When to grab a bite at S11 with then guy, that is where i met my classmate (guo xian and gang) really long since we last met man... eddy will be going in with me, ther rest still have a couple of months to go...so good...anyway after that took the bus back home...

Now, doing some last mins check on the things to bring, and making sure i haven left anyting behind, then should be catching soccer, and off to bed... Tml is going to be a busy day i presume... but that will be a new chapter in my blog.... and i have no idea when that will be... anyway...guess thats all i have to say.... May all my frens stay happy always... thanks for all ur concerns... really appreciate it... do take care of urselves and all the best in watever you do... as for nypsb... ALL THE BEST IN THE UPCOMING CONCERTS AND PERFORMANCE, i believe with a little more effort, this band can make it... JIA YOU....

Wondering if i am ok, usually by now, pple will be either excited or stressed, but i am not feeling anything special... maybe i have settled all i need to settle in all aspect of life already lah, and awaits new challenges that will come my way i guess... Oh yah, was inform yesterday that we need to be in black plastic frame glasses, so rushed to make one yesterday (would be ready by today), everythings was done in a rush, so i didn't really care how i looked in it, moreover, i went for the comfort (whether or not it was comfortable). When look in the mirror when trying out the glasses, the one person i tot of was Ah tom, serious similarity, hahaha.... Anyway, hopfully everything will turn out well later... After that, as i got home, help my mum with so of the incense for my sis, while watching tv at the same time... After we are done, i washed up, and then as my mum went to bed, i went into my room, watched tv at the same time, read a couple of chapters of Harry Potter Bk 5, i am still halfway through... hopefully can finish a few more chapter before i go in... hmm, maybe i will bring in to read as well... hu knows... heez... the knock of at about 3...

This morning woke up at about 9, mum woke me up, she was all prepare to go "see" my sister, i promise to go with her... Reluctantly, i dragged my body off bed, took a shower get dressed and help her with the things. Made our way downstair where my dad was waiting to fetched us there (Mandai)... When we got there, the place was so nicely renovated it looks like some kinda new school or poly man... haha.... anyway, as we got there, my mum got busy setting everyting up, while i took a look around, then when everything is done, i asked blessing from my sis (regarding NS) and for the family and all... After that we burn the incense, and everything was done... After that, had lunch at jalan kayu with my parents, have malay rice, was rather tasty... now happily at home resting while waiting for my specs to be ready, will have band prac later, my final band prac with nypsb... as a member, after that i will be offically alumini, really lao le... hopefully i dun cry tonite... very malu de....heez... will try to enjoy every single moment... hahaha Anyway.... guess that all i have for the day then.... 2nd last blog, that is provided i have the time to blog tml, if not this will be my final blog.... will not be as frequent then as i will not have access to internet in Tekong... heez..

2 More days

Morning pple, feeling blue on a monday morning??? certainly not me... i am feeling quite ok actually, thinking that tml is the last day of freedom, the day after, my ic will turn green.... a beginning of a new chapter of life is juz about to begin man...

Lets start from saturday night, was out at about 11 close to 12, brought my gear(soccer) as was told by herbert that we were suppose to have mid night soccer game all the way to the wee hours in the morning... waitied for herbert downstair, and as i got into the car, was inform that soccer was cancelled as there wasn' enough pple, luckily we had other plans of going for huiting chalet... (feeling kinda bad not o be present)... As we arrive there were little pple left, all i presume is her Uni mates... Maybe most of them had abit to drink, so all were kinda stoning away and the atmosphere wasn't really that high as i expected it to be, Helped myself to some of the "leftovers" of the food, then head out to the beach for a little stroll along the beach with herbert... talking about our future, my army, and some other personal stuff (not to be disclosed *winkz) then as we stroll back, its was 3 plus, caught a glimps of how korea win mexcio in olympics soccer, power man asia country is really shining now man... then since there wasn't anyting to do and huiting and gang was having their game of bridge, we decided to call it a day... On the way home, herbert went to fill up the tank, then both of us when to grab a bite before heading home, offically went to bed at 5 plus...

Next morning work up at about 12 plus, then wash up have my breakfast, then took my shower and head out of home for army market to get some neccessity for army... Xiu and gang (ah tom and zx) met me at lavendar MRT station as they were out scouting on Xiu working place (attachment), When we reached, zhong xi tummy was talking to him, so we decided to grab a bite before doing some shopping... i had some tang yuan and a glass of lime juice... After that meal, was shopping time, bought wat i need and as for Xiu and gang, they find a place where they could get nice shoes at good prices... heez... so they know where to shop liao next time... when shopping was done, our next destination was to esplande as we wanted to catch the last firswork display... Had a rather enjoyable journey to esplande, especially the stretch of passageway that link CityLink and esplande as there is many fantastic artworks put up by artist both young and professional, was really a feast for the eyes for me, not sure about the rest though... As we reached, zhongxi contacted Allison on the place to meet, her gang have already got a good spot, so we slowly went to met them, there as everyone gather, we had a few card games and all, tink we were one of the noisest group =P but wat matters most is everyone had a great time.. As the night sets in, i went and sat by the rock to have a clearer view of the event, was surrounded by couples of all ages... heez... so felt abit weird, but couldn't care much... i was later joined by xiu and ah tom, so didn't feel that bad... Then it was the moment of true, the start of the fireworks display... as everyone (including me) was amazed with the fantastic display of the different colours and patterns of the fireworks, many things start flying to my mind, and kinda stupid actually, got the urge of falling in love... haha... thinking about it now make me feel rather stupid...*blush* Anyway, after that short few mins, we decided to head to suntec to look around first juz to not get stuck in the "human traffic". i needed to get yoko yoko anyway... As the crowd simmered down, we made our way home, the NEL gang seems to grow, with the addition of ah tom, brian, allison and fren, zhongxi was the constant target throughout the trip back, victim to tickle that is.. heez.. when i arrived home, was rather tired, but was too glad that i have spent yet another meaningful day. watched tv with my mum then at past midnight, went downstair to burn some incense as it was offically the 7th month of the lunar year. Once that was done, went back home and watch the exciting match of badminton as singapore ronald susilo took on world number one Lin Dan, and amazingly, SINGAPORE WON.... fantastic play man... that is going to boost our morale...hopefully he can get a medal man... then was some other movie then off to bed at about 3 in the morning.

Today, haven got any plans yet... going to start packing my stuff into the bag for army and see wat is short so i can make last min shopping if i missed out anyting... feeling both excited and sian now... hahaa... well.... nothing much about today to put liao lah... going to have lunch le.... shall have my final installment of blog up soon.... Buai

Huiting birthday celebration

Da Jia wan an... yesterday was a truely boring day, and today, is so packed i am wondering where i should go... haha... Oh yah first things first.... i hereby wanna wish huiting a happy 21th birthday in advance, the actual day is 17th, but she is having a bbq and because of somethings i could not attend... so sorry about it...

Yesterday was indeed a most boring day man... no plans no nothing, truely understood the meaning of rotting at home man... thank goodness there isn't any mushroom growing on me... Could say was online the entire day... downloading songs and listening to music... Finally put the computer to rest at about 8 plus... (need to rest my eyes as well)... then was tv... feeling really trapped at home, i decided to go outside for a breather... walked to the bus stop, and tinking to myself i would talk the first bus that comes my way... bus 53 came so my destination was Bishan J8, When i got there... the first ting that came to my mind was movie, so without second tot i went straight to the top level a bought myself a ticket to the movie "Catwoman", as there was some time before the show starts, i went to the glance around at the shops, then visited the toilet before entering for the movie... was not a bad movie overall, but there was load of other "special effects and sound system" added in the mids of the show... one was light from the super techo handphone, that flickes like some disco light throughout the show... special sound effects came from children situated at the side and infront of me.... wasn't really able to enjoy the movie but beared with it anyway... After the show, last bus for 53 have already left... so i tried my luck at 156, lucky i manage to catch the bus, if not mid night charges is not going to be cheap... heez... got home, there was a horror film on tv "Jason Goes to Hell", was not bad but the lame thing is that Jason never seems to be able to die, dun understand y... heez... then its was the live coverage of the opening ceremony to Athen Olympics 2004, truely a grand event, and is such a success... by the time the entire thing ended, it was 5 plus in the morning before i finally put my head down to rest...

This morning, woke up at about 11 plus, took my shower and wash up before heading to skool for band, was contridicting weather to go for my last dragonboat session or band, but went for band instead... wasn't really prepared for training today and tinking i will have all the physical training i need in a few days time, made me more determine not to go for training... heez... When i reached there, lao shi was not here yet... so i got my flute out and practise togther with the rest outside, managed to run through fantasy variation once before lao shi camed.... there wasn't any warm up today, and we started off with the usual "Swan Lake". Lao shi was getting stricter and i could tell from everyone face that they are all under quite abit of stress, in the end everyone still got a piece from lao shi (in different tones) After band prac, went with the guys to play a few games of pool at amk before heading off to attend to some matters, now safely home, later thinking of going for a little game of midnight soccer with my frens... still thinking though... was thinking of going for the bbq, but looking at the time, even if i go, it won't be for long, so didn't in the end, sorry once again arh hui ting... Alright...guess thats all i have for the day then.... tml will be another day.... another day closer to tekong i mean.. heez.... Ciao pple...

The gang is slowly splitting up with irene, may and xiu going on attachments, me in army, leaving zhong xi sherine and carol of R&R in skool with respective school attachments and projects... hopefully this won't break the bond between our friendship... One thing is for sure... they can meet more freely, and is always a phone call away to a gathering, as for me, i will be stuck in tekong.... haiz.... all adds up to one word... MISS... heez... guess i have gone to far in bonding with the guys at band... ended up i am really bonded to them bad man... heez...

Late Blogging.....paiseh....

hey there pple, sorry for the late entry today... haven had time to come online today so only able to blog now... Anyway, i did almost forgot that i haven blog today too... heez.. paiseh...

Yesterday, can say have been the most boring day for the past few weeks... was really rotting at home man... haven't had that for a long time liao... and really dun like it... (wonder how did i managed to survive last time) The bordem finally broke when i decided to make a trip down to yishun to get "some stuff"... was a long bus journey, but managed to endure through it... reached there, went to look around... then finally got the the shop and saw wat i wan to buy... so parts of it was not avaliable, therefore i didn't buy it... so sad... well... in order not to go home empty handed... i went around shopping for things to bring for NS instead... as the days get closer... i am feeling but anxious as well as abit scared too... anxious as a new chapter of life it going to unfold... scared is of the new environment and people i am going to face... But the worse feeling of them all is a great deal of miss... not of freedom, more rather, my family, frens and all the wonderful band practises i have been having... haiz... (oh yah... and my Altus flute too) okok off track liao... Anyway, managed to get a couple of things before heading home for dinner. Watched singapore idol as they unveil the mask of "Banana Man" and shown more wacky scenes of how contestants make a fool of themselves... its was dame farnie... After that was some other programs... after that took our Harry potter book 5 to read while waiting for the Olympic game -> soccer to start (Korea Vs Greece) was a fanstastic match, watched the first half, korea was down by one man as one of their players got sent of after a second booking at the 30 plus min, but korea still managed to take the lead before half time and manage to end the half with a 1-0 lead... was too tired to catch then 2nd half so went to bed after that...

This morning, woke up turn on the tv and channel 5 was screening the repeat to that match, so i managed to catch the 2nd half, korea was superb throughout, manage to take a 2-0 lead after an own goal by greece which was super tyco then, greece prove once again y they were the champions of europe and they were really no push over, managed to equalised at the last mins in the game... its was really not greece day as the hit the wood work man times... lucky for korea i guess... the game ended 2-2, after that, met my daughter for a little sushi... was great, haven been to J8 for a long time.. and things really changed in J8 man... the 2 of us went for the buffet and i tink in a short one hour or so we had 30 plus plates... (scary arh...) lolx...we are big eaters wat to do... heez... then with our satisfied tummy, we explore the new J8 and also give some time for out tummy to digest before heading to skool for band prac... tonite band prac was an enjoyable one... got praised by lao shi twice, once was for the solo in legend of yao (that wasn't sure he was praising me anot, cause i wasn't really looking at him =P) the next was for a small portion in disney fantasy, suppose to be played by oboe but there was no oboe then... so i played... sort of made my day, and everything else went rather smoothly... even fantasy variation... Lao shi is getting stricter after each practise, and at the rate things go.... i am not surprise if lao shi leaves after the up coming symphonia, he already of such old age, i dun really blame him for leaving as he is the onli one in band making effort for the good of the band... but well, its not of my problem, guess i will have more to think about in camp... heez... after that was the usual walk with the usual gang to the bus stop....then is home dinner and tv then blog.... Ok shall blog about tml later then..... going to watch match shortly liao.... Buai

slightly more then one week to TEKONG!!!

Afternoon pple.... woke up exceptionally late today, to tell u the truth... i juz woke up not long ago at about 2 (heez...) Had lots to do last night and many thoughts to sort out and priority setting to do.... So went to bed rather late... but feeling really fresh now...

Yesterday was ok, went down to waterloo street the temple to pray, for good health or my family and frens and protection over me for my coming NS. the temple was still rather crowded even though its was like 5, after that... went to do some window shopping alone in Parco BJ, alot have changes there (or i should say i haven been there for a long time), there is more things to look at and more items to choose from... Found the shoe i was looking for at the nike shop, tinking of getting it.... most likely sometime this week, then its bye bye to my converse shoes man...(wah ha ha ha)... After buying sometings, was tinking of going down yishun to get someting else i saw the last time i was there.... but looking at the time, i changed my mind, and rushed home to catch NPD instead... got home, juz in time to catch the marching in of the parade... was so grand man... haven have this feeling last time (maybe its because i am going into the army soon, thats y) love the colours contingent, they look so suave... then was awaiting the arrival of the president, then the inspection, in the commandos, the soldier the president actually talked to was a my secondary school fren... so cool right... i was shocked when i saw as well...what honor... the best part i love was the march past...its like the highlights man... then was performance itself... everyting was rather entertaining... last but not the least is the fireworks (breath-taking i would say), things got emotional when they show a tribute of PM Goh, was really touching and indeed, he was the man that brought us through the many difficult times... (THANK YOU PM GOH!!!) when the show comes to an end... i then switched channels to watch someting else and started working on some stuff... Time really flies when i have work to do, 2 plus in the morning, i am still not don't, so i left my stuff and did some "mind sorting" in bed instead, then was off to dreamland...

This morning, was awaken by my mum, there was a visitor from the army who came to talked me on wat to expect during BMT, was a nice chat... kinda paiseh actually, as i was in my not properly groomed and all.... but luckly he was a nice chap and didn't mind much, he even briefed me on wat to bring and all...(thx) Anyway, plans for the day, since its a tuesday, guess all should know my plans then...

Happy 39th Birthday Singapore!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!! 39 years of independence....that is really fast man...

Had my first ever offical band camp in skool last week... its was great...really want to blog every single details out, but tink it will be too long, so i will try my best to keep it short and sweet... *grinz... The camp started off on friday, so happily packed my stuff and went to school, then spent my afternoon in the bandroom, then watched my daughter (angie) trashed aston in a game of squash... After that, when to look for my gang at their labs so that i can "steal" a computer to do my blogging... *evil grinz... after that, stayed awhile to surf on the Internet, before making my move to meet my bosses at workplace, as they say they had planned a little farewell party for me... Got there, everyone was busy at work (as usual), but everyone have stop what they have on hand and move to the back room where we all have a little pizza and drumlets and of course...BEER... heez... after that session, its was almost time to knock off work, Wayne (one of the directors) made some announcement on the shifting to the new office and some company stuff... then some of the rest moved off to a nearby pub at china square where we had more to drink... was rather touched when one of the bosses, David, actually rushed straight down from the airport for this farewell party... Got a card filled with all the nice regards from these pple... its felt just like home and all of them were like family to me.... seriously gonna miss each and everyone of them.... memory with them will be with me for a long long time.... After the drink session, they were actually planning to bring me somewhere else, but i had to turn them down as i have to return to camp (sorry guys....other time maybe =P)So off i went... took the train with jerdin who was heading to yishun... departed from her when i drop off at AMK to met the rest as the shop for neccessities to be used later on that night.... then as we got back... the year one have some games...sort of got some of the seniors involve onli... so as they had their fun, the few of us "sneaked" off to some place quiet to talk, sing songs lor.... its was a quiet night... and everyone had a long day, so naturally the mood wasn't that lively... but it was ok... took our bath at about 2 in the morning, then when we finally got to bed it was 4 plus in the morning....

Next morning, woke up at about 7.45, was awaken by the chill air from the air con... everyone else around me was still aslp as they were all nicely wrapped up in their sleeping bag, while all i have is a slping mat that i used to lay on... Reluctantly dragged myself up and went to brush my teeth... can feel aches coming from my back and neck... but luckily manage to overcome it... then was waking the rest up... spend majority of the time waking up xiu and may, but had to as they still have fypj to attend to... After my hussle, manage to get them off bed and ready at about 9 (which is still late as they are suppose to start at 8:30, didn't like breakfast provided so we went to have Mac instead, the gers make they way back to the lab first to sort things out while i make my way to have my breakfast and they joined me shortly after... after breakfast was about 11, may went back to her lab while xiu followed me back to bandroom for practise... lao shi is getting stricter by the week... guess he is really pinning hopes on the band... juz hope everyone understands lao shi's effort and work harder and not hate him for it... enjoyed the session but more work have to be done to make it better... After that was lunch, then after lunch, flute section have their master class with their tutor, and i wasn't involve in it as i feel its will not be appropriate for me to attend it as i am not involve in the concert... so happily i grab my towel and when for a few laps in the pool... the weather was great for a swim, then after that.... got myself dried up, then return back to bandroom and joined the clarinet section for a little sectional conducted my zhongxi... After sectionals, everyone was asked to pack up from band for the day and it was time for games once again... The juniors had abit of scavenger hunt around the school... its was great to see everyone having fun... the juniors have been so participative throughout... The highlights of the day i would say would be the water games we had at the carpark, which even got me involved (in the end) Everyone had a great time getting wet (and powdered)... Thanks to Sherine, we manage to capture all these wonderful moment on her digital camera (thx sherine)... After that, everyone help out in cleaning up the mess that have been made... At that moment, i can already feel the bond of the band again... its was really good... then, once everything was done, everyone head for a shower as all where filthy man... Glad to got to know my juniors better... Adeline, Fung cheng, Hui Min and Glory,, if i am not mistaken...(sorry if i got ur name spelled wronly too...heez) got feedback from them that they tot i was a strict person... hopefully after the camp they will not tink this way... coz i believe fear is not the way to get things done...=P They are wonderful juniors.... sherine and karen have a little get together with them too... i was initally in, but slowly felt left out... maybe because i am the onli guy senior there perhaps... so i have decided to let the ger have abit of the "girly time" together, while i did some stuff... got to bed at close to 5...

Next morning, as it was a sunday, so there wasn't air conditoning (luckily...) manage to have abit of slp till about 11 in the morning, was a much better nap compare to the first night... After washing up, packed up out stuff and head back to bandroom, There, Jaceline made phone orders to Macdonalds for our Bunch (breakfast cum lunch) i had a Big Mac meal, then all were gather in front of the tv to watch a "horror" film... its was in episodes so we didn't really finish it all as the school were closing as we were asked to leave... guess we will be continuing it some other time i guess... left with zhong xi and sherine (and xiu who made last min changes to her plans) to amk... to get "some business" settled... then after it was done, had dinner and a little walk at sports link and popular before we decided to call it a day and go home... everyone was rather tired i have to say (including myself)... Got home dumped my stuff on the bed and head straight for the shower, took a cold bathe so it sort of woke me up abit.. so i watch abit of tv, there was a concert on last night, its was name "109th Last Night of the Prom", the concert was great man, played many familiar pieces... enjoyed it throughout... as it ends, i got to my room and did some packing before heading to bed.... And guess that sorts of end my first (and i guess last) band camp... heez... sorry if there is too much too read, this is the shortest i tried...

This morning, woke up at about 11:30, been doing nothing much except watching tv and surfing the internet... no plans on our nation's birthday, may seems abit sad but will i did need abit of rest as well... Anyway, might be going out alone later, for a little walk at bugis and see what i can buy... heez... if not guess that all i have for the day... well... shall end off today's blog with then nation's pledge... May everyone one stay happy as we awaits the arrival of a new PM and work towards thhe next year of independence.... LOVE u all my fellow frens and country man...

A Graduate!!! finally

Ladies and Gentlemen.... i have finally become a graduate!!! wah ha ha, seeing three years of hardwork paying off when recieving the piece of paper in front of fellow gradutes and some anxious parent (though mine never come...)

Yesterday was seriously a day i would remember for the rest of my life...dressed neatly with tie, waited anxious outside the auditorium to get in, while doing so, saw many familiar faces, people i haven met for the last 3 months man... classmates and frens from other school... some off the guys were even in their army uniform, reminding me that i will be in mine shortly as well... (sianz...) First met up with kelvinder, nothing much have changed in him, still the same old chap i used to know... heez... then was christina then linda... "the gang" of guys from my class didn't turn up... reason they gave was that they were too lazy to be in their formal wear... lame i thought... in actual fact this people are wearing formal for presentation for project and all, and now too lazy to dress and collect the fruit of their labour... heez... strange but well, its was up to them though... When we started moving in, there was a waiting area where we first stood and were sorted out based on our surname. There we where line up in rows, then, in an orderly matter proceed into the auditorium... As we walked in, suddenly everything that have been happening for the past 3 years seems to be flashing by me... and the audi was the best place as it was where i first started this journey... When we were all seated, there was a short demostration of the procedures to follow while taking the award... then the arrival of guest of honor, speeches made then was the actually ceremony... We were the first group to have taken the award... was very excited as i was waiting in line to get on stage... as then name were read out... and my turn starts to get closer... i was overwhelmed with excitment (thx god i didn't faint...haha).. Finally then moment arrived...the speaker said my name and i walked smartly to the director of my school holding my cert in his hand. As we shooked hands, he praised my dressing for the occasion and also congratulated... was a really happy moment... while walking back to my seat, people along the way was congraduating us as well... then when after us were student from other school also recieving their cert... there were alot of them, so my hand were practically numb from clapping, but still did so as it was everyone moment of life...When the ceremony was finally over, there was a short performance on stage, then more speeches (one of which was made by a fellow graduate) then it was offically over. Made a move outside the auditorium and started taking pictures. Ms Woot and Ms Soh was also present to share the happy moment with us... (thx Ms Woot and Ms Soh)... then as they rushed off to classes, i went to take picture with some other frens... like my biao jie and xue ting also... but once again technology have failed me as the digital cam i brought was low in batt once again... haiz... twice liao... didn't get to take picture with lots of pple like huiling and karen which i promised... haiz... Anyway... didn't get to see them as well... sort of lost them in the crowd... but will fated i guess.. =P... Didn't go to the reception they prepared for us... went straight to bandroom... Laoshi was already starting warm up when i got there... so putting my cert aside, got out my flute and begin practise... After practise, managed to take a few pic with a couple of them with the dieing batteries of mine... then was home i go...was really tired man... couldn't help it... had bun for dinner and also a couple of fruits... then caught "Spirited Away" on tv, was a really nice show, though i am uncertain of the message it was trying to convey but learn many things from the show too... heez... After that....was off to bed.... dog tired...

Today, will be going for band camp... so have to go prepare stuff to bring for camp... 3 days of camp.... first camp i will be offically attending... so cool man... but will be going to meet my boss at work first. they wanted to plan sort of a farewell party for me, it didn't happen when i left as all were rather busy then.... so this is sort of making up for it... heez.. Who knows.... maybe i can get a free hair cut... who knows... heez.. alright then...guess thats all i have for today then, gotta go do some packing already if not will be late liao.... tata

Graduation day!!!

Today, 5 of Augest, is a day to remember, coz its MY GRADUATION DAY!!! wah ha ha... finally a graduate and an offical diploma holder... make myself sound so old arh... heez...

Yesterday, was in school for sectionals, learn things from sherine, didn't knew her ability to pick up things was that fast.... felt the same amount of stress i once felt while having sectionals with Shu er (her sec school senior) when i was guest playing for NYJC, well.... more work have to be put in and more effort is to be put in by me too juz to catch up to their standard (lao le ba i guess... heez) after, the session, felt "the mood" acting up again... so decided to keep my stuff, walk out of bandroom, went to look for xiu to return the money i owe her, then we walked to north canteen for a drink where sherine and zhong xi was meeting me for a drink... then we talk about "the mood" of my, and since all are good frens i gave them some of the things i was troubling about, and was burdening me... Thx guy for your time, sometimes i do feel this worries is unneccessary, but i juz couldn't help it... donnno y (guess its in my blood....) Well, thx again anyway, was feeling better after talking things out... after that, walked xiu back to her lab so that she could sign out, then as we were leaving, met irene and may, irene was going to sign out as well...so we followed them.... i parted from them at the auditorium, as i still need to meet sherine and zhong xi on a "prata date" at jalan kayu...its was quite fun actually, joking and "suaning" each other all the way... zhong xi seems to be acting rather strange though, seem to have lots of things in mind (becoz of what i have said??? i am not sure or juz tired??? kept me tinking as well...) Anyway, when we reach there, we settled down before making order, first we had plain pratas and a chicken mutabak, and was really tasty, but as everyone was not really satisfied yet... we make a second order, and that time we (zhongxi and I) had more plain prata and we ordered an ice cream prata to share (for the 3 of us) its was very nice, there was three flavor of ice cream... strawberry, vanilla and chocolate all wrapped up in prata... and amazingly the prata is still crispy when we have it initally... was nice... hopefully get another chance of makaning there again before going in for NS.... heez... after that went to walked around rivervale shopping center, nothing much, but juz to kill time with sherine as she had plans later on that night... then after sherine left, zhong xi and i took bus 136 home... that was my day.... enjoyable.... thx guys for the wonderful day...

Today, graduation... donno happy or sad....there is a mixture of both i guess... happy is to see my three year of hardwork finally paying off... sad is maybe i am offically not a part of the skool and classified as "alumini" in band... heez... well not going to let that affect me.... maybe its a blessing in disguise , who knows... after gradutation will most likely be hanging around in school as i have band prac tonight.... last band prac as a student of nyp... And that will be my day then, have to go prepare myself for graduation later then.... shall not blog futher... take care everyone...

3rd day of freedom....2 weeks to losing it....

Morning people, thought i write my blog early this morning cause i might not be able to do so later on... today using my personal com, right in the comfort of my home "office"... heez...

Guess most of yesterday afternoon was already mention, so i shall not repeat much, was off for dinner with sherine and gang yesterday at fj... Sherine wore her nice billabong pink t-shirt she bought at one of the surf shop at manly beach (nice...) After dinner, walk slowly to bandroom, put angelina stuff in the pigeon hole before heading outside again as may was waiting for ivan and i need to get the blazzer from him.... when he arrived i gave the blazzer a try and its seems too short, so i return him on the spot (sorry arh ivan, for the trouble, thanks alot anyway)... then was back to the band room for practise, had abit of self warm up while waiting for lao shi to arrvie before heading inside for a proper warm up...then was practise on fantasy variation and all... lao shi's expectation of the band is rising but the band dun seem to be taking their music rather seriously... abit sad to say but at least some pple is putting in the effort, so glad to see that... A little hiccup happened in band, halfway through the piece, peiling complain of shortage of breathe and an increase of heart rate... lao shi, ask her to go take a break immediatly and ask some of the rest to get her warm water... juz like all father will do... got to see the caring side of lao shi yet again... After band, alot of things seems to be coming to mind... and was over taking my emotions again, didn't wan to affect the rest, i decided to walked away from the pack... who knows sherine and zhong xi came chasing after me... haha..thx guys... but i still continued thinking.... slowly my pace of walking reduced and everyone caught up and took over... leaving behind, me and keith, so we had a little chat... he was telling me that saf band might be going WMC (Holland) or Sweden next year, and with news that they will be one of the performing band in Wasbe next year, it tempts me even more to join them.... well will have to see how it goes then..

Anyway.... sort out my thought liao... so feeling abit better... will be going down to skool shortly to help out with sectionals... then wat plans after that i am not sure... we shall see how things goes then... haha no work liao.... so nothing to blog much about the day's happenings... Anyway its the 3rd day of my freedom and 2 weeks before i lose it...so have to make good use of everyday's time.... ok lah.....gotta go liao....shall blog again..... till next time.... Brabbit signing off...

A brand new day... a brand new life...

Hey there pple.... good noon.. heez... abit strange today coz i am blogging using my school computer rather than my company;s com....(haiz...missed it already)

Anyway... weekend was abit of a "packed" with activities (for saturday at least) work in the morning ended later then usual, coz it was my last day and have to clear some of "my stuff" from the pc... was hoping to burn all the stuff on a cd....but the stupid cd writer spoil....so ended up deleting lots of the stuff away...have sad... anyway, by the time i left the office was 3 plus,had to rush over to my aunties place to get digital camera... by the time got home was 5 plus, so took a quick shower and got changed for the concert that night, was in my prom dressing (dashing neh....=P) got down to suntec and met up with ah tom and bryan before proceeding to to esplande to meet up with the rest, was one of the more formal dressed there (jac and the rest are dressed casually) so felt abit odd and out of place...anyway, the concert was fantastic, met alot of familiar faces, some i haven met for ages, all are those that i have perform with before... Overall, its another wonderful performance put up the NTU and not forgotten Phil Winds... Dennis left after first half, actually msged me telling me he heading off to Lao Pa Sar for dinner, was tinking of meeting up with him, but was called off in the end coz after the concert, the group split up, ivan and may left, bryan, ah tom and xiu left together, leaving me with jac and gang, they were waiting for zhi sheng and i was waiting for my frens in the band to take a few pics with.... but when zhi sheng came out, they group left with him leaving me the onli one left there.... Alone i waited and waited for my frens to come out from the stage door, but it never happen, guess they must have left from another exit then... (juz my luck i guess) Met up with herbert, who happen to have attended dhssb/ych concert, then we took the train back together... Home, had a few biscuits (that was dinner) and a glass of milk before heading to bed... tired but meaningful day spend.... was having abit of a mood swing that day.... hehe....lucky wasn't that obvious to spot...heez...

Sunday, actually had plans to go to sentosa, but ended up staying at home, no mood and it poured heavily... was back to my normal routines of watching tv and surfing the internet.... My com was rather "guai" yesterday, seem to be functioning back to normal again... was online from 2 to 8 in the evening i guess.... apart of web surfing, i burn quite a number of cds, chat, and downloaded more songs from irc... been a long time since i last did that....was really fun...heez...then at night.... mom brought home dinner for me... fish soup (yummy....) finish it while watching SPAWN on tv... then was more tv.....watch GTO, nice show..... the gers very kawayi neh....heez...okok then after then.....did some workout before heading to bed......

This morning, woke up about 11 man.... i cannot believe i woke up so late as well... feel abit strange....maybe juz not use to waking up so late and dun have to go to work i guess...heez.... Took a shower and head to skool.... the feeling is strange... seeing so many new faces and the familiar environment, its like i am back to my skool life once more...hehe.....strange neh..... went to bandroom, and met up with the rest.... so fun, usually come the bandroom will be filled first time facing an empty bandroom... Might sound like a kid now.... but everything in skool is so great.... exciting...lolx...=P... Now happily blogging away at may's com... and sort of conquered her msn as well.... wah ha ha ha... for the moment lah... Anyway....guess thats all i have lah.... my first day as a free man once more....heez... blog again tml if i am coming down then...BUAI...

LAST DAY OF WORK!!!

ITS MY LAST DAY OF WORK!!! and wat better way to start off the day then to get half drenched when coming to work....haha.... juz hope i dun fall ill... heez...

Yesterday had a really long day... not at work of coz, work was boring yesterday, had nothing else to do already, so actually spend the whole time rotting, surfing the net and chit chatting... After work, went to yishun still considering whether to cut my hair anot... so decided to go look for May (who is rebonding her hair at yishun) along with Xiu (came down from orchard), while waiting for xiu to arrive, couldn't resist the temptation of all the shops around me, so went to do some window shopping while waiting for Xiu (making full use of time mah...) saw a pair of puma shoes, rather nice was added on in my "to buy" list but later taken off once i tried its on and didn't find it very nice on me... okok enough on shopping... when Xiu arrived, we went to look for may... there we discuss if i should get my hair cut... After a "short board meeting", the conclusion was to leave my hair till after my graduation ceremony which is this coming thursday... so we sitted there and waited for "Ms GORGEOUS" to be done with her hair... she actually have rather long hair man, maybe because she ties them up so often so never really notice.... When its done, it look abit weird, but after awhile of getting use to, its pretty ok... Went to have dinner at the food court after that... then set around chit chatting on what to wear for the concert and all, after that went for a little walk before heading home, Xiu and me took the train (she was heading to novena, so i tot i accompany her there then i carry on to doby ghaut and change NEL home since i have the time), while may took the bus... On the train, recieve a call from herbert asking me if i wan to catch a movie, since there was time, i agreed... my phone was on the "verge of death" (low batt) when he called... so headed to somerset to get tickets for "House of Flying Daggers" 11:40 movie... after that, tried calling them on the dying phone to inform them where i would be, but i can't, found out that u cannot make calls out with ur phone is low on batt, luckily managed to send out a simple sms to them and divert my calls to herbert's phone before it "rest in peace"... Roam around the arcade as there is the place i told them to meet... felt so lost without using hp man, juz so in secure and "isolated from the outside world"... heez... When they finally came, we grab some drinks and was into the movies we go... The show i would say was not bad, its wasn't as good as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, however its have a good case and have good scencery... there was also part of the movies that is somewhat similar to sense i saw in other movie (like LOTR, WU Jian Dao, Matrix, etc) overall not a bad show... The show ended at 2, so after that, herbert was feeling abit hungry, so we headed off to chomp chomp for some food as it closes at 3 am, when we reach there... to our surprise it was already closed... onli a group of pple having beer, all stall have already closed... so as we were tinking of heading home when herbert remembered another prata nearby, so went to had a few prata then head home... reached home at about 3 someting, took a quick shower and was off to bed....

This morning, woke up at a quater pass 8, have a cold shower to refresh myself (which didn't really work...still feeling rather tired...) go change and headed to work... the weather was ok when i left the house, the weather was ok, cloudy and rather windy, but as soon as i reached chinatown, i could "smell" dampness in the air and immediately i could tell it is raining... True enough its was pouring cats and dogs... and that is not the worse thing... the worse thing was i haven got an umbrella with me... haiz... have to walk the long route to work and also get abit drench as there is some place that haven had shelter... before going into office, grab breakfast downstairs and a "stronger" coffee (rather stuggling to keep myself awake now, with the weather like that...) This morning, nothing to do liao...so it more like here to pass time and hopefully get my pay... heez... After work today, think they are going to have a mini farewell party for me... cannot stay for too long also, and should be off home, if time allows really hope to catch an hour of slp if not i will really slp in the concert hall tonight man... oh yah forget to mention, will be attending a concert tonite, MUSIC FROM THE HEARTS 2004, performed for last year, attending for this year as an audience... heez... dresscode for tonite would be how i dressed for my prom night... everyone say to wear formal...so i cannot too "han suan" also... Wah...last day leh.... really going to miss this place, this computer, the pple here, everything man... Really thankful to everyone here, been an enjoyable few months here... really glad to be working with u guys and hope there is still chance in the future... *sob... OK lah.....guess this ends of my chapter of blog for the day lah... the last time i am going to write blog using this computer i guess (still remember i started off the blog here....heez...) okok better stop before i too gan dong and start to tear liao.... will try to blog as frequently as possible after this... BYE!!!

Friday.....a haircut???

2nd Last day liao..... very sian in office donno wat to do now... though been assigned some work liao, but i have already finished it (efficient eh....lolx)

Yesterday band prac was ok.... for the first half that is, was more focused i would say, but after the break felt my body was "burning" from the inside (like a fever is coming up or something...) spoiled my mood totally man... "off form" i would say, but made a great discovery yesterday, which is in Sherine and Andy Tan, both of their tones were superb last night.... haven heard such good tones in a long time... felt "inferior" last night i would say... haha... And their skill was equally impressive, used to tink Andy tan skill was "average", but only yesterday that i really see the "power" in him when we played swan lake, he is a player with great potential man... really an asset to the flute section... As for Sherine, she is really impressive too last night when we played phantom of the opera, was making a recording and one portion of the song she execute is pretty well, but she still say its not good... i personally feels its good (maybe because i can't play it ba....haha).. Overall, with people like Sherine, the Andies in the band.... i dare make a bold comment that if they practise hard and groom the year one well, the Flutes section can and will be the best section in the entire band... wa ha ha ha.... okok enough about my section liao... Back to blogging... heez... after band, spend abit of time chit chatting before leaving the bandroom.... was drizzling so had to go by the front gate... walked with Xiu xiu who waited for me (thx leh xiu) heez... Escorted her to the mrt, before heading off to my bus stop (where i met up with the rest of them....) Got home at about close to 11, have my dinner, and longang ("long yan" in chinese) for desserts...big and juicy man yum yum =P after that, went took my shower, then waited for my hair to dry off before heading to bed...

This morning, woke up at 7:30, donno y, my juz open at the dot... and since it was still so early i tried to get back to slp, but no matter how i tossed and turned, i juz can't seem to get back to slp.... and when i finally did, my alarm rang, its was time to wake up... asking for it right... anyway pull myself up and prepare for the brand new day the awaits me... was abit moody at first (due to the slping incident) but slowly subsided... won't let a small thing like that spoil my mood for the weekends lolx... Bought breakfast to the office this morning, Tea and toast, was not bad lah... at least something to fill my tummy for awhile... finally got new chairs... the one i used to use have a faulty back rest, so always having this backache after each day... at least get to enjoy the new chairs for the last couple of days... heez... I am really feel to the extend that i am already thinking of wat i should do after work... tinking of getting a haircut (coz the back is getting abit long) but triming won't be too worthwhile considering that i am going to turn botak soon, but wat hairstyle can i cut then.... haiz... well at least there is something to keep me busy for awhile...shall take one step at a time and see how things goes then... if really no plans then go home early and have meeting with Mr. zhou i guess (not aston zhou arh.... zhuo gong....=D) Anyway, having a cough now.... had starfruit juice juz now....hopefully it will be better, got vick's cough drop also...determine to get it better man... heez... Alright then... guess thats all for today folks... will blog again tml then... Sayonara!!!

Thursday.....2 more days...

*Cough cough*... haiz... think going to fall ill soon, last three days in the office liao (including today)... already starting to miss the pple already... heez...

Yesterday was the first time after a long while that i gone back home straight after work... Got home, sat down and had dinner, mummy made nasi bryani (donno if this is how its spell =p), curry chicken and fish... had 2 big plates of it, not a single grain of rice left... heez... then while watching tv, started sorting out photos that i have redeveloped... Feel really bloated from all the good food i had, so stop the things i have been doing, put on my jogging shoes and went downstairs for a walk (to help digest the food)... was tinking of jogging, but afraid that i might puke, i gave up the idea... had a brisk walk instead... From the walking, its was rather quiet and there was a gentle breeze, so was tinking what have been happening today and this passed few weeks... thinking of the happy time, fustrating times, down moments and all... was a good walk i would say.... reflected alot... After that, when my stomach is less bloated, return home to continue with my stuff... from 10 to 12 mn, i was sorting out the photos... took me quite awhile didn't it.... well there were 9 rolls in total and alot of photos... heez... after that... took a quick shower... wipe dry and was straight off to bed...

Today, work as usual.... as the days goes by.... workload seems to be getting lesser and lesser... just feeling relieved that i am finally gonna "regain my freedom"... on the other hand, gonna miss all that have been happening... being infront of the com all day, multi tasking, hearing david laugh his guts out (lolx...) haiz....gonna really miss all this.... but well life still goes on... already have plans for the next 2 weeks.... going to prepare myself (both mentally and physically) for NS.... jia you ba... will see how its goes... After work will be band prac... can't wait, hope its gonna be fun... been trying to enjoy each of this practise as they pass, i haven't got many practise left... but at the rate it is going, its seems that there is nothing i have to worry about leaving behind... my job here is more or less done i guess... very encouraging... its sad to think that such wonderful times is gonna be over real soon, only starting to really know those people in band and bond together that i have to leave... well.... fond memories will be with me for life....no regrets i guess... Thought of leaving sometimes makes tears roll in my eyes (even when i am a guy, i can get emotional sometimes lah), gonna really miss each and everyone of my frens man... *sigh... Okok, lets change topic... making it sounds like i am going to somewhere far and no longer coming back... hahaha...ok lah... guess i have to get back to work liao lah....last three days left (2 days and 3 hrs to be precise...) buai for now!!!

Mid week liao.... very fast

Good Noon pple, its mid week again... tot of blogging earlier today, so that i won't end up like yesterday.... =P

Anyway, yesterday made a few trip (during office hours) to the photo studio to get my photos, but both time i was rejected (stating the photos was not really) got quite impatient, but told them i would collect it the today, coz dun wan them to rush through and do a lousy job... after work, went for band practise, there is many people and Fantasy Variation is starting to form... so happy for them... at least more effort have been place... "Reap what you sow" that is what my secondary school always used to tell us... And i really hope those that put in effort for practise really reap what they sow... Other then Fantasy variation, we also played Swan Lake the orcheatra version... it is a very nice piece, really like it... thought alot of effort have to be put into it... but first encounter with the piece is a good one... Apart from getting more attached to the band... think i am getting rather attached to the Altus flute as well... cause the sound it produce is so fantastic.... haha going to miss "her"(my altus) i think...hahaha... okok enough of flute liao lah.... after band.... slow walked out alone to the band room, actually wasn't really alone, was with "the andies" actually... quite enjoyable lah.... When got home, everything is pretty much the same, makan, shower, then tv... heez... guess all my blog reader should know by now liao lah... wahhaha... after that is off to bed...

This morning, first mission was to collect the photo (costing me close to 90 bucks...haiz...), then in work today is more slack, guess is because "my time here is getting shorter" liao ba... so dare not assign too much to me... Anyway juz trying to enjoy every bit of my time here lor... is actaully feeling rather moody today... fan ba i guess... getting it more and more often nowadays... donno why... becoz of the things happening around me??? army??? or wat??? i really cannot tell... that is the most fan part i guess... someting really wish to confine it to some someone... but thinking about it.... why make someone else life miserable by listening to me talk crap right... so guess i will keep it to myself then... heez... as Uncle dennis will say "Kai xing jiu hao" and i always believe in taking things as it comes... so hopefully "Ming tian hui gen hao ba" heez... after work today....still have no plans... donno wat to do... dun tink i wan to roam around town like zombie lah... so will be good boy and go home early today ba... ok lah... i guess thats all i have then.... everyone have a nice day and hope all you wish for comes true then... TAKE CARE... and LOVE YA LOTS!!!

Another day have passed

Hi there pple, have been "busy" the entire day, thats y i am blogging only now... hope u guys dun mind... heez...

Yesterday, was tinking of catching the movie "House of Flying Daggers" but no one was interested and my best movie couple, Xiu and ZX is BROKEN (Defn: More broke then broke --> term used by Xiu), so the plan was called off, and since there wasn't any other plans, so decide to go home early. When i was at chinatown MRT, got a call from Xiu, asking me to go orchard as zx wants to do some shopping for clothing... was reluctant to go at first, but after awhile, juz went to meet them anyway, since i won't have anyting to do at home, so wat the heck...=P. Met them at OP (wistma) before continue with "our mission". Stop at levis, when a pair of shoes caught my eyes, its was really unique, a nice combination of denim and leather, cost about close to 200 bucks, thinking of buying but will have to wait till i get my pay lah...heez... meanwhile, it will have to go into my "to buy" list lah... As we proceed window shopping, my "to buy" list seems to be growing as there is more and more things i seem to like, (that is the thing with window shopping i guess)... Yesterday seems more like me and xiu shopping as we were looking at our things more then zx is *grinz... lucky he bought something in the end, if not will feel very bad... heez... Our last stop was at HMV, stayed there and listen to music for close to an hour... heez... Heard Wu Bai "AI NI YI WAN NIAN" live concert series, blasted it so loud it sounded so like i was there live (the same as when i attended he concert when he was in Singapore the last time), after that move on to classical music, listen to a few jazz cd, was very nice... naturally...more things in my "to buy" list liao le lah.. heez... after that is about 10 plus and by the time i got home was close to 11, had dinner, then bananas for dessert, took a shower, watch abit of tv (Shi zi lu kou) and went to bed...

This morning, overslept, its either i forget to set my alarm or my alarm dua me... open my eyes, its was already 9:05am, rush like mad, didn't even bothered to put on contacts today... lucky still manage to make it to work by 9:45 (power ba... wahahah)... there is quite abit or work today, plus the time i took to accomplish them, the day have already passed... was rather quick today... shortly after this should be going for band.... then everything after that guess u all know liao lah...heez... anyway...guess thats all i have for the day then...blog again tml !!!

1 week to go...

Start of a new week, and the start of the last week working for this company.... should i be happy or not? i am not sure... heez...

Last weekend wasn't the best i weekend i had. After work on saturday, rush down to kallang river for dragon boat training, was all ready but when i got there, no one from the team was there... not even the canadians (usually train about the same time) was there... was rather angry as i wasn't informed that training have been postpone yet again... but will i wasn't the onli one who got cheated... Arron (another guy from the team) also came down, we waited for awhile before making a leave. Arron drove, so it wasn't that bad for him, as for me, its a long bus ride home from kallang man... anyway, sort off cooled down in the bus so wasn't really bothered about it after that, too tired to be bothered about it too i guess... got home took a shower and rotted infront of the tv... day seems to pass slow when u are rotting, really "tu mao ru nian"... but at about 7 plus, my eyes couldn't stay ok no longer, so decided to call it a day (abit early right u muz be tinking) anyway, slp at 7 close to 8 (was like the timing i slpt on the first day in bathrust, but there it was 9 plus 10 due to the time lapse =P). Got up at about 4am in the morning... and was really awake by then... Since i could think of anyting else i can do, i watch Television for a couple of hours before forcing myself back into bed and slp till about 9am in the morning... practically slept close to 12 hours man... heez... making up too all the loss of slp for the past week i guess... Sunday was as boring i guess... rotted at home as well... didn't have any plans so was juz slacking the day off... Evening was better as there were more programs on tv to watch, like channel 5 was showing X-men, channel i was showing some old killer bee film, and channel 8 there was "tai qi zhang san feng". All was equally good so was practically "channel hopping" catching a glimps of all...after that was news... then "zong yi da ge da" but by then had some matters on hand so didn't watch much of it... did my stuff to close to 3 am, then go to bed... didn't have a good start to the weekend... but lucky the end of it wasn't that bad... *wink...

Today is ok, manage to get up from bed rather easy despite the late night... maybe had my fair share of slp over the weekend le ba...=P, anyway morning is great, not raining anymore, hopefully its won't rain, but the sky is abit gloomy though, hmm... final week in this office, then wil be 2 weeks of break for me before "going in". So guess will be "organizing things" in my com i guess and sort out all "unfinished business". And since i will no longer have access to computer everyday, i might not be blogging everyday... tot i should tell u guys in advance so as to not disappoint all my loyal blog readers out there... heez... but will promise to blog as often as possible before i "go in" lar...*grinz... Oh got 2 news to share with everyone, especially for Harry Potter and Jay Chow fan. First Harry Potter Book 6: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is on the way!!! but time of launch have not been confirm... Next Jay Chow Jie Lun latest album to launch on the 3th of Augest 2004 pre-ordering is already on the way, and heard its selling like hot cakes... heez... okok, enough on entertainment news, now back to my blog... hmm....work is still as usual, but the workload for me is no longer that heavy, guess its maybe i am leaving so they dun allocate that much work for me... so i have more time to blog i guess... wah ha ha (evil laugh)... drama arh... heez... Now doing some review on documentations and also more research... so kinda lack lor...have to spread things more evenly so that time will pass faster... =P Erm...cannot really think of anything else to blog liao... so far there isn't any plan for me after work, hoping to catch a movie (house of flying dagger maybe) but yet to find any kaki... shall see how later then...So exciting... made a dedication to 933 and heard it being read out... was so cool... not sure how many of u guys hear it... was so fun heez... alright then... guess thats all i have to say for today then.... keep in touch all... love u all very much... buai!!!

Don't be afraid to make mistake, most importantly is what you have learn from it and never to do it again...

Last night ended of work at about 7 plus, got abit of things to rush... after that, when over to PS, herbert and dennes wanted to catch a late movie, so i became the scout (to see the timing for the show). when i reached there, went straight to look for a suitable timing... but couldn't make up my mind so i waited for the rest to come before i buy the tix, went to the fj for dinner, had ban mian (really cannot make it... dun ever wan to have that again). After that yucking dinner, went to roam around in yamaha, looking at score, and did time flies when i was there, before i knew it, its was already 9 and yamaha was closing... heez... so got out of the shop and roam around again.... stop by Times did some reading before the guys called and i went to get tickets as they parked the car. Settled with "i,Robot", 11:40 show... from 10 plus till 11:40 there was still abit of time, so after meeting up with the both of them, went back to Times to pass time. Shortly after we have reached, after browsing through the latest edition of FHM, Times was about to close for the day as well, we got "chased" out... hahaha, then, we made our way to carrafour, and bought some snack for the movie later... then after stuffing all the stuff we bought into my bag, we went to the arcade for a few games, didn't want to play actually (lost interest already to tell u the truth) but they dragged me in... so what the heck... *smilez... last game we played was the "street fighter gem" game, not sure if u all know about it... but we didn't really complete the game... coz its was time for the show and we can't help winning despite we played hurriedly... anyway, we forgo the game in the end and went to the loo before heading to straight into the cinema... The show was fantasic, enjoyed every single bit of it... (except for maybe the part where the car turn into a pile of scrap metal)... heez anyway shall not talk too much about it, or else will spoil the fun of those who have watch it... =P, overall, love it and love the AUDI SRQ!!! heez... when the movie ended, its was 2 plus, so we had to head home coz me and dennes have to work the next day... by the time i reach home, its was close to 3, then took a shower, organized the photos to redevelop and watch anot of tv before heading to bed at about 3 someting...

This morning, had a "war" with my bed again, was wanting to wake up and my bed (being so comfortable and all) is making me lie down and not wishing to get up... but i manage to "overcome" the temptation and pull myself out of bed, took a shower and get dress for work, its was raining when i left for work this morning, so had to carry an umberalla with me, Along the way to work, have place my "re-development" form at the photo studio close to my work place... Work to day is ok, not very slack yet not that busy, guess it because its the weekend so feeling less tense lor... haiz... recently alot have been happening, haven't really have a "peacedful" day since after the trip... more of this i am going to go crazy liao... guess it all the stress and the thought of army that is causing all this i guess... haven really laugh my guts out (like i use to) for a very long time man... anyway, heez... change topic, dun want to spoil my blog supporters weekend... heez... have dragonboat training later, last week's training was postpone and i can't make it for next weeks training, so this week is a must go, if not i will be missing alot... kinda looking forward to it actually, as its the onli time i can cast aside everyting and juz concentrate on paddling... after that, if i still have energy left in my, might go down to serangoon gardens to meet my usual gang of fren to have dinner and our usual "talking crap session". Guess that will be all then, next week will be my last week working in this office liao... gona miss this place, this com, the pple here, but well life have to go one and i really do need my break before "going in". So stay tune to my blog next week then..... happy weekendz!!!
