Yet another week....

Hello people, a week have past again, and i am one week closer to my thailand trip... in fact its juz next week... can't wait man... lolx... will write about my this week in a more different style then usual...

Monday May 9th start of a new week

Stayed in last night, didn't like the idea of having to travel early in the morning...
Morning had an uninterrupted slp until kum wai [KW] (one of my bunkmate) starts blabbering about the game he played to joel (another bunkmate that slp rights beside me) at the top of his voice... why does he have to speak that loadly when they are only about 20 steps away... i wonder sometimes. Dragged myself out of bed, thinking i was on duty for the week till KW tell me he was on duty, argh... there goes my 15 mins of dreamland timing!!! Staff Maswan made us practise for the welcome ceremony for the Pakistan PM...Sun was rather scorching considering its still morning, going to have an uneven tan again...

Noon Watched abit of Million dollar Baby the movie in the library (dun tell anyone coz we are not really suppose to...)

Evening after work had dinner at the cookhouse, then return to bunk... and after about an hour of rest (digestion) went to bed... woke up did somethings and when straight back to bed... what a PIG!

Tuesday May 10th Arrival of Pakistan PM

Had a very good rest last night, haven't slept for so many hours in ages... had last min rehearsal for today's parade, which happen to be at 5PM!... After lunch we took the transport to istana, reach at about 2 plus, waited for an hour for the other unit to arrive, total waste of time... rehearse once through for all weather, was drizzling but have to stand in it anyway, Just my luck! End up what we have rehearse was a waste due to the rain, was changed to indoor, got semi drenched for no reason... Pakistan reps are really rude, cutting through the band in the mids of welcoming our PM, luckily we were alert enough not to be affected by these people... shortly after Pakistan PM arrived, played their athem followed by ours then thats it... some parade yah... Got the privilige to direct book out from there, have something important to attend... have to thank my fren Kris for bringing my uniform back for me... After attending to my 'impt matter' went for band prac at nyp... Got back to using my Emerson, the feeling its just not right... Where are you my beloved Altus... probably in the hands of your new owner *sob*


Wednesday May 11th Kindom of Heaven

Staff gave halfday for those who did COG the last time, and those that didn't (including me) will have to clear my own off, just my luck! said its to reward us for a good job done yesterday... well i think otherwise... Left camp about 12.30pm, didn't go home, so decided to rot in town... Conqured far east, Lido, Wisma, taka, Hereen, and finally stopped at Cine... dead bored, no shopping mood... or rather cannot afford to shop, abit tight on the finances... ended up reading at long johns sliver for at least a couple of hours, then met up with Karen and Sasa for Movie, Kingdom and Heaven... Nice movie, worth watching...


Thursday May 12th Band Band Band...

Today its been a rather enjoyable day since i stepped into band coz we played pieces the entire day!!!

Morning we had rehearsal for an "outreached program" prepared ny WASBE, played and sight-read alot of pieces... played fifth suite by alfred reed, different sound compared to nyp... (nyp sounded better, but considering its sight-reading session, its wasn't that bad).

Afternoon Practise for a performance this coming sunday, at the singapore turf club, SIA cup, fancy playing for some horses....

Evening Rushed down to NYP for pract with nothing but my piccolo... used jasmines flute (ALTUS!!!) Enjoyed dinner after band with the usual gang before heading back camp... seems that its faster travelling by bus then by train, will take bus next time... Altus i miss u already... when will be meet again...


Friday May 13th Bad Omen?

Morning done some PT while seniors (or close to ORD personnels) have their IPPT, was lifting weight when i felt the bone of my right shoulder shift... not a good omen, stopped and played table tennis (with extra caution) instead... was tinking of a diip in the pool since lunch is longer today, but was asked to shift bunk, as new trainees are coming in... spent the entire afternoon cleaning the new bunk and shifting stuff over... wasted the fine weather, rotten luck! afternoon did another practise for sunday... and thats the day... simple yet well scheduled...


That is my week... heez... strange way to present it... but well got the idea from the book i am reading now, The Secret diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4, not a bad book i would say... have a chance give it a flip... its nice... anyway guess thats all i have, do have a great weekend ahead... best of health and MAY PEACE BE UPON YOU!!!

Mother's day

Hello guys and gers... Its Mother's Day!!! i hereby wish all mums and mother-to-be a very happy mother's day, and mum juz wanna let you know that you are the greatest in the whole wide world!!! I LOVE YOU *muack*

Woke up to a wet morning today, didn't really want to go out as its was mother's day and it would be pretty bad to go out leaving mum at home all alone on her day... so being the good boy that i am ... (ahem..) i stayed home to accompany her... seems that he tummy isn't giving her as much problem le, that is such a relief to see... but still got complain of occasion weakness, likely caused by the excessive visits to the toilet, so most of the time i would juz ask her to take a seat and rest... today other then spending time with mum, actually spent alot of time surfing the net and on the tv as well... i mean thats practically what you can do at home right... was thinking about going beach road with herbert, but due to some communication break down (at my end), caused the trip to be cancelled... well later will be going to camp and will sort of signal the start to my "7 day work week" i guess...

Alot of things concerning money is bugging me now... lolx... mainly i am trying to say alot of things to buy but dun have the capital to do so... Flute, holland trip, digital camera, all requires MONEY and if i get one the other will not be possible to get... argh... growing white hair juz thinking what i am going to do... get flute and no Holland and digital camera... even though Holland is not really possible, but judging from Meiting's confidence... its giving me the slightest chance of going man... but i also wish to get that Canon Ixus 7 camera... very fan right... well, if only army pay won't so low, i would be able to afford all that...lolx... but well thats life i guess... heez... u can't possibly own everything (not when u are an average joe like me lah)... Actually my major concern is the flute now... the more i use it the more attached i grew to it.... really cannot bear to part with it... but not being able to buy it holding it will be meaningless too right... haiz... should i return it before i grow to attached to it? i really don't know... its not said that the flute is a superb one... but i feel comfortable using it i guess... Need to take a step at a time liao ba...if i am not going holland and not getting the trip, that means the camera is a muz buy liao... hahahah.... so its alot of consideration... anyone can give me any advise? Most ask me to set my priorities... i did, Flute and Camera will bt more top then Holland coz the chances of getting that is the slimmest with all that activities pilling during that period of time... however if i am confirm not getting the flute then i have to part it soon... so that at least the other buyer don't have to wait... a pity, but what to do if i have no money... lolx... ok lah...shall not let all my "finanical problem" affect my dear readers already....

You guys have a great week ahead and stay cool k.... PEACE!!!
