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....

The DAY.....in one day time...

Hey there, afternoon pple, its a tuesday....means alot of things... alot of "last" things, will be my last full day of freedom, as well as my last practise with nypsb and last visit to nyp liao (for now that is)

Haven't have much last night, start preparing stuff for army, packing things into bags and all, and also making neccssary changes to my phone (change to 8250 liao, not use to the ringtone... sometime it rings i will still stare at the pple around me, tinking it was some other pple's phone..=P). 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.. Till we meet again pple... recruit Ryan Koh signing off....

Always look ahead and be ready for the challenges that lies ahead...

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
