hey there pple, hehe... juz got back from zhongxi little birthday party, so tot i blog about it before i head to bed.... Anyway, its been a really fun day, at least for the second half of the day, woke up at about 10 this morning, then slack about at home till about 3 then met up with sherine and gang (zhongxi and allison) at heartland mall, got some drinks and stuff before actually proceeding to the area, which is at the garden at bishan, took a cab down, and zhong xi being the host paid the bill, heez.... when we got there... we looked for the pit and settled down and started organzing the stuff around... after which at about 5 we set up the fire and waitied for ah tom (as he washolding to all the bbq essential stuff) bus he only arrived at about 5.45 so once he got here we had to add some char coal before starting the actual bbq.. by then zhong xi poly mates nd some of her sec classmates was already here... was kinda made chef of the day, so was doing most of the bbqing... heez... then slowy the crowd starts to arrived.... then when the crowd was more or less assembled, we cut the cake, funny thing was zhong xi was made to blow out trick candles which litght up after it distingushed... so funny to see him do it.. haha... after that... they took a few picture then his parents went home, and that is when the fun actually starts... heez.... first attack... cake on the face, asked him over for a photo session, then when count to three had i landed a piece of the cake on zhongxi face... was dame funny... heez.. and pretty evil i would say.. but i like... [evil grinz], second blow was the most effective, as me, zhi sheng brian and ah tom took him by the limps and dunped him into the pool, all his frens did was took photos... lolx... so funny... and he kana not once but twice... heez... we felt the first was not enough and wasn't far enough... so he went in the second time...heez.. after that was a series of drinking with him till he cannot tahan.. haha and he really didn'take it... puking eventually, not that i am happy that he puke, but at least it was a memorable day for him.. juz wan to wish him a very happy birthday, i finished the rest of the volka so ya.. was alright... head abit heavy though... had a few photo taking session, with xiu, sherine and all, was really fun , then when we got back to the pit, zhong xi was already down, so i left with sherine and anne (her fren), touch off at boon keng where anne stayed and took the NEL home, not forgetting to take a photo with anne before we leave... hee so fun... overall its been a great day.. heez... hope u guys have as much fun as i did... can't wait to see the photos so post it up fast k... heez... tink i am going to call it a night soo... tml i am having a parade in orchard so if u have time come supprt ok... will be marching down from hereen to istana at about 3 plus... so hope to see u guys... heez.... ciaoz.. and night...

Paid performance
helo pple... something is wrong with msn today, seem to have some sort of connection problem... really fustrating a for person that loves to talk on msn like me [are they pulling an april fools prank too, i wonder???]... but anyway have to bear with it... won't give up trying though...
Today reported to work in the afternoon as our performance was at night, so can wake up without the disturbance of an alarm clock [haven't done that in a long time le]... then had a couple of bao [cha siew bao] for breakfast before accompanying my dad and mum to visit my sister...then after that was suppose to go lunch with them but due to the lack of time, i have to rush back to camp first... was pouring halfway, thx to my dad who provided me with the umbrella... Anyway, got to bunk, got change and assembled at the whitehouse, had some last min rehearsals and waited for the bus, Once we got to the westin stamford, there was rehearsal straightaway, so we practise how we are going to march in and all the songs and stuff, so lame i must say, felt pretty redundant because i felt we were very out of place (doesn't suit the event i mean), but have to go through it, wat to do... its a paid performance... After multiple rehearsals finally break for dinner, where we rest in the lounge and savour dinner delivered to us from nee soon camp.. heez... after dinner, rot awhile more till about 7.10 before the event starts, and we got dressed up and prepared ourselves... we entered with an impact, almost making those sitting along the side deaf... heez... the people was first shocked to see us... but then slowly, roaring applause after awhile for the award winners that followed behind us... [that was our purpose, to lead the award winners]. After all of them was on stage, we made our exit with another song and that was it... a performance less then 10 mins, and we have prepared like for 2 weeks!! hahaha... after that we packed up... and return to camp.. by the time got back to camp its was 9 plus, all my plans of going out after performance was popped... so got home and be the good boy that i am... =P, And that pretty much covered my day, short yet fruitful day... heez..
Finally, just want to wish everyone the best of health, know that the weather haven't been very good recently and everyone is more pron on falling ill, so be extra careful with the things you eat and do... yah... nothing is more important than your own health... Stay healthy and happy Always...

Irish Fair 2005
Helo everyone... heez... as you can tell my mood have been better since the past few days... tink staying in camp too much have gave me the 'in camp depression' i guess... heez... thx to all those that have help kai dao me... hor Sherine... heez.. thx arh.. anyway juz wan to tell everyone i am feeling much better now... heez..
Yesterday had alot of fun after a long time... really literally let my hair loose and had fun... heez... i don't have long hair so only can let my hair loose and not let my hair down... heez... Anyway back to topic... in the morning, went back to St Gabs to watch their progress and preparation to the coming SYF... serious have doubts on them but well juz have to wish them all the best... the teacher in charge, Jerffery Chan, still never failed to give me a grand intro to the juniors... telling them then great history of how i got up to stage of syf on crutches on 1999 syf where we got gold... thx arh Mr. Chan... Initally thought i might be able to play along with the band... but ended up i only got to listen to their performance... though abit disappointed not having the chance to join in... but nevertheless, felt good watching some talents emerging from the next generation... heez... talk like majiam i very old liao... heez.. After band pract, went home to put my flute, had lunch and head off to SIR building to collect my passport... was actually tinking of going for a paddle, but looking at the weather, i thought otherwise... ended up meeting angelina, the accompany her for worship meeting (meaning she had her meeting while i sat at a corner waiting). Once done, we met up with a couple of angie's frens, Jessie and Pei shan, and went for subway while waiting for pei shan's fren... ah boon, alan and dennis... heez... so cool to know so many new people in a day... they are friendly pple so had a nice time chit-chatting with them over dinner... Once done, we all went to the Irish festival 2005... its an open air thingy, so was kinda worried at first as the sky didn't seem really pleasant... however heaven was kind on us and it juz drizzled occasionally... we settled down at a mat infront of the stage... and each have a Guiness draft (which comes with our entrance fee)... 'Slainte' we all shouted before drinking, an irish word for cheers... taught by pei shan, who had been to ireland for attachment for 4 months... the place was rather calm at first... people still not daring enough to dance and all... (being singaporean) but as the night passed and booze start to set in... more and more pple started to dance and had fun... was really interesting to watch too... Heez.. together with pei shan and gang... we too join in the fun later that evening... there was a Q&A and i actually went up and won myself a limited edition Guiness home phone... so cool... We partied till like close to midnight, and had quite abit to drink since drinks are like 5 buck a drink...was good... we easily cleared up to 20 cups i guess... after that... i had to leave that group as i was going to meet herbert and dennes for supper... so i parted off with them at about 12 plus and meet up with herbert... went all the way to changi for nasi lemak.. then drove to our hang out to catch abit of airplane before calling it a night... was indeed an enjoyable weekend... really enjoyed myself to the max.... thx pple for everything... heez.... alright then i gues s thats all for the week ba...
After all this... just recieved a terrible news that one of my frens mum have passed off... sad to lose a love one... the news came suddenly so i am still sort of in a lost... but will be going to her wake later before returning to camp... live is so unpredictable... juz hope she can take it easy...
here are some shot of the irish party 05

yet another day
Hello.... haha... been awhile since i wrote blog everyday liao right... well so happen that i am online i will write...
Anyway, the day wasn't as bad as i expected... as least i didn't rot my way at home, slowly breaking away from my 'depression' i guess... a little fresh air always helps... Was thinking of trying my luck at sir building (to collect my passport) but unfortunately my luck wasn't that good as they were not open on public holiday, so i went over to beach road to have lunch... After lunch slowly walked to bugis...didn't really did much shopping at bugis though, because i have been there juz a few days ago... Instead, i went to the temple and pray since i am nearby... from there, i actually walked all the way to orchard road... haha dunno what have got into me but i was juz bored and since i am alone so what the heck i guess...heez... First stop PS, was strolling at the shops aimless looking at things as well as the people shopping... notice how typical singaporean can actually be, when there is a sign stating 'clearance sales' the place is filled with people... haha... anyway, bumped into one of my poly mate, Micheal, he was doing a fashion show on stage... haha cannot blame he is rather handsome i must say... heez... didn't really got a chance to talk to him as he was rather busy, then next stop was in the heart of town, where i went (shopping) center hopping... again walking aimlessly... haha i guess that is what happens when u are shopping alone and have nothing to buy in mind i guess... When i passed by paragon, saw Singapore youngest busker on the sidewalk playing his jazz set... his name is Osthen, 5 this year, and man i have to say he is really good with the drums... stand around for awhile before moving off to DFS to look around...saw the burberry wallet that i was looking for.... but it cost $350, that is my month's pay... haha... guess i can see only but have put it on my 'wishlist' already heez... after that went to far east for more glancing before calling it a day.... took a gentle stroll back to ps to take the nel... leg was feeling the ache once i set down in the train... think i really did alot of walking today... heez... Might be boring but beats staying at home i guess... That is my day... plain isn't it... heez... Ming tian hui gen hao ba...i believe... ciaoz

Maybe its just me... but well i am experiencing some depression i guess... it comes once in awhile, usually will last quite awhile... haiz... life is really lonely, when u think they are there... they are not really there and that is when u really feel the sudden emptiness in life and all... Am i a pest? sometime or rather most of the time i wouuld ask this question, will i bother other people? am i making use of other people juz to make myself elss bored... will they mind? all this question have been going through me for the past 2 weeks... whenever i look at my phone glancing through the list to see who i could find, most of the time i would end up with none as all that questioning would just come to me....haiz... fan le... WHERE ARE U WHEN I NEED U??? WHEN I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO??? WHEN I NEED SOMEONE TO LISTEN??? WHERE... WHERe...WHEre...WHere...Where...where....

Anyway, today did a POC at Istana, one arrival, fast deployment, by noon we are back in camp, then after lunch was more practise for the paid deployment, playing Olympic fanfair, how lame can it get... but anyway... job is job i guess... heez.. not sure what i am going to do for the next three day yet... guess its juz a step at a time then... thats all lah.... nothing much to blog le... Ciaoz... Oh yah... to all those having exams.. all the best... to all those that have already completed their exams... enjoy ur holiday to the fullest man...

Juz blogging after a long time
Hey peepz... its been awhile since i last blog hopefully u guys didn't miss me too much yah?? [bhb] heez... anyway i did blog a super duper long blog a week ago, but the computer sort of crop up before i can post it, and the entire blog vanished from my screen... was so pissed i didn't want to even blog till like now... Anyway its over, now feeling slightly better so being big hearted as i am, decided to give blogger another chance... heez..
Anyway, its been a month plus since i was posted to saf band A and life there isn't band i have to say... surprisingly done many parade in this short period of time, all sorts too... Seen their working style and have pretty much adapt to it already... Anyway will be having a parade this coming Sunday where we will march down orchard road starting from hereen to istana... hopefully everything will turn out will... Okok now abit about the week that have passed... well monday was alright, staffs were suffering from the monday blues so got abit of lecture during the inspection of uniform... after that did a few rounds of practise for the parade (on sunday)... wasn't really used to walking and playing at the same time at first, but as the time passed, things slowly got better... That afternoon we were "forced" to take halfday off as we had a parade on sunday, so we left like 2 plus, and since we had nothing to do, we went town for a little walk, i 'dated' xiu and angie for a movie, Went to walk around with my gang first before meeting xiu and angie... then went to get ticket for the movie "closer" . Not a bad movie i must say, confusing relationship but interesting... will not be really surprise if the scenes from the movie actually happens real life, anyway shall not talk too much into it juz in case you guys haven't catch it... won't wan to spoil the fun... Anyway after pool, had a few games of pool with them... haiz... wasn't my day (or i juz can't play), was trashed by the both of them... BIG TIME!!! haha... After my humble defeat, it was time to make my way back to camp, and got back at about 11 plus, fun but tiring day... Tuesday, was a normal day, but didn't have any plans after work so went to Northpoint and caught another movie with one of my batchmate Kris... heez Watched Howl's moving castle, was good, especially the music, but the storyling isn't as nice compare to spirited away though... after the movie went to walk around before returning to camp at about 9 plus 10... Wednesday, went down to SAFPU for rehearsals with the guards, and sort of saw what the actual thing is going to be like... its will be really good i can tell.. heez.. anyway after that, we got back camp for lunch then after the afternoon 'muster' (attendance taking), we had a little sectionals before calling it a day, fall out a little earlier then usual as we fall in early that day... was thinking of staying in bunk before recieving a call from xiu, to watch movie, haha msg her earlier that day for a movie but she was too busy so i tot it was called off, but i tot wrong, so i met up with her at J8 for "hitch", that movie is great... really funny, a nice movie to catch... Without realising it, i have already caught movie 3 times in 3 days... lolx... was practically broked man... lolx.. Thursday, work was normal, after work, went down to nyp for a practise and return my Altus flute (*sob gonna missed it...) It wonderful man, that they are no longer playing the same songs... and testing out new pieces was so fun.... make practise so meaningful... like a few pieces we played, like gypsy dance, egmont, and some parts of picture of an exhibition (or something like that)... looking forward to the next practise now judging from the pieces they are playing.. heez... well will have to see how lah.. next few weeks will be rather packed with parade and other stuff, not sure if i can make it down... will try though... As for today, friday, had another rehearsal at safpu this morning, then went we got back to camp, was fall out immediately, heez... shiok man.. lolx... anyway guess thats my week lah... haha know that alot of u might be thinking, is ryan in camp or in a chalet... lolx... well that is life but this is only the surface of things and its not really as simple as it seems, as we really have to earn our break, get wat i mean... anyway thats all i have lah... will be going on a movie marathon next week again, provided i get the money to do so... meanwhile have a meaningful weekend and enjoy it to the fullest!!! Cheers!!!

First Week after stay in!!!
Phew... finally Sinfonia is over and all our hardwork paid off as we recieved many positive feedback from the audience... I myself feels that there is still room for improvement... heez... but overall it was good... Not sure i am happy or sad that its finally over though... guess there is abit of both... Happy that nothing big goes wrong and all our hardwork for the past few months paid off, and sad maybe because its is already a memory i guess...
Anyway, the past week have been pretty busy both in camp and in nypsb, Camp is because 'work' have offically started for us and we have offically have to stay in for 2 months, a policy implemented by band A... so first thing of the week is to pack up our stuff and clean the bunk... its wasn't that messy compared to other bunks as we are sharing it with the specialists. Spent close to the entire monday cleaning up the place... and after work had to rush to nypsb for band, heez... its was Vday that day, so naturally, couples in the band didn't turn up, and i have learn something, that is NYPSB was born on VDAY hahaha, and we ended band slightly earlier to celebrate the band's 10th Anniverary heez... was fun. Afterwhich, rush back to camp where i have to spend the night.... didn't have a good first night rest as the place was really dusty and it caused my nose to be block the entire night... The following few days was full band prac as we prepared for a parade on friday (GOH) and also a botanical gardens performance coming March...was fun as i started knowing more people and all... after work was rushing to nyp for more final practise and stage setting... before going back camp after that... everyday reaching back in camp close to 12 mn... tiring i will have to say...
Friday, dragged my tired body out of bed at 530 in the morning, slept at close to 1 in the morning the previous night, super tired but still have to force myself as we have to prepare stuff for the parade later that morning... got into our No. 1 pants then bring the top to the white house. When we got there, we waited for the bus to get here and then got the ice box, and then staff made an inspection on everyone's uniform before heading off... When we got there, we immediatedly set up our instrument and join in the final reherasal before the guest arrive. A challenge was post to me as i was suppose to play without score and purely by listening to how the others play... luckly its was only a couple of songs so i managed to pull it off after some 'practise' when the entire event was over and we return to camp, we all got break for the rest of the day, and even get to fall out early... anyway, got back to bunk and manage to catch a few hours of rest before packing things to bring home for the weekend. and when we got dismissed, had to slop a super heavy bag as well as my performance uniform to nyp for final touch up before the actual thing... When i got there, all were preparing to change, so I too got myself changed, had to dump all my 'barang barang' aside... when all is done, did some final touch up and all before have some mini photo session... Then it was the actual thing, as i compose myself and shook close to everyone's hands (wishing them all the best) before stepping out on stage... there wasn't a full house but at least a 70% so it was still alright... the night went about rather smoothly and after the last piece, everyone was relief and happy as many positive responds was recieved... After that was so busy taking pictures with everyone... recieved alot of flowers from frens as well as members, so touched, they even presented token of appreciation before the concert to me and all the other alumini and guest players. But above all what really moved me was the flowers i recieved from adeline, fengcheng and waileng... i will not forget that moment.. thx gers... really appreciate it... anyway, afterthat had a little drink at mos burger then later accompanied sherine at S11 as she waited for her father to come fetch her before making my way home... was super tired but after a good shower managed to find so energy to do some packing of my stuff and also organising the gifts i have recieved before calling it a night at about 4 am... super tired... Oh yah its was also only when i reach home that i realised that i haven had dinner... my tummy complained so had to had some biscuit before going to bed... hahaha... Anyway that is a memorable concert indeed...
Today, didn't do much but really rest and relax at home, was thinking of dragonboat, but didn't go in the end as i have been straining my shoulder for the entire week and i feel it deserve abit of rest... Really missed home so decided to slack the day off at home... tonight not sure what i can do, but will be going to watch chingay (on tv) shortly... think this entry is long enough, guess i will stop here... Just some final thanks,Firstly, thanks to all those that have come and support our concert yesterday, do hope you guys have enjoyed yourself. Secondly, to all the musicians of nypso for giving me this oppotunity to perform with you, i must say its indeed an honor to have known and perform with you guys, had loads of fun and will be looking forwards to more of this oppotunities. Lastly and most importantly, Lao shi Mr. luk, for his relentless determination to make nypso what they are today and also all the support and guidance he showered upon me... 'Xie xie ni, lao shi' Thats about it, its a super long entry, hope u guys enjoyed it... below are some photos of cny spend at laoshi's place... enjoy...

GONG XI FA CAI !!!
Hey there pple, happy chinese new year, gong xi fa cai, xin xiang she chan, wang shi rou yi!!! heez... may the year of the rooster brings us all super duper good luck in all that we do...!!!
Yesterday was rather fun as i finally was able to book into camp in civilian clothings (like the seniors) then for the half days work, we spent choosing our beds and also cleaning up the toilet... haiz... got news saying that we are going to be 'sai kang warriors' for the next couple of months, hopefully the next batch coming in will be a big group... After work, met up with dennes then went to buy my CNY clothings, thought i spent the time at amk as my dad was coming to pick me up to go 'visit' my sister, after paying respect to my sister, i went of to queensway to meet up with the gang (herbert, li hao, navin and dennes) to do more shopping, spent abit but was worth it, after that, got home for my reunion dinner, food was fantastic, not sure if i was hungry, but well since when my mum cooking is not nice =P heez... After that was tv all the way, was waiting for plans to go out that night, got calls from geraldine and herbert to go out, herbert was planning things early but i couldn't leave my mum at home alone on CNY eve, so i decided to stay at home and be a good boy for once... sorry guys. As for geraldine, she jio me later but due to the lack of people going, she didn't call me back.. so i spent the night waiting away... Finally, when my mum call it a night as she heads to bed, me too retired to my room, and watch more tv before calling it a night, though wasn't the chinese new year eve i was expecting... but well wat to do...
Today, did what i had to do every year, had lunch before 'bai nianing'. First stop, my aunties place, maybe was too early, therefore there wasn't too many people, After exhanging words of greeting all of us sat down for chit chat... then about in the afternoon, drove off to my uncle's place and had a short session there before calling it a day and return home, Oh yah that was a short episode on the road today one the way back, someone ram my dad's car from the back, gave us all a fright, guess he wasn't paying much attention, but everyone was alright... that was first day, short, simple and sweet... Wonder if its the age, seems that CNY have become lesser of a deal each year... few years back, whenever cny is near, the festive mood will be here like a week or so before, this year, didn't really felt the festive mood till like yesterday... haiz... lao le ba i guess... Alright then.....i guess thats it for the new year then May everyone have a wonderful new year and an advance happy Valentine's Day to all the love birds out that......
To sum up, here is a photo of my boss child, Abigail Chloe 希彤 so cute.... born on 17 decemember 2004 sOOooo Cute

FINALLY TRAINEE LIFE IS OVER
YIPEE!!! after monday i shall be an offical member of the Singapore Armed Forces Band! Great man... after 2 months of hardwork, things are starting to pay off...
Been pretty busy with things over these 2 weeks, shall juz mention the main events if not i will be blabbering till kingdom comes... okok first, SAF Band annual Dinner and Dance held at Chevos, some club at jurong east, sort of a gathering for everyone to have fun and also a bonding session and sort of sum up to 2004 and whats ahead for 2005, was really fun as we laugh and enjoyed the night away... MC for the night was felicia chin, she is pretty and rather cute i must say, had a picture taken with her... cool huh... heez... anyway after that night was busy all the way, nypso had a band camp so i decided to join them as it also gave me an oppotunity to practise my exam pieces to wee hours of the morning without worries of waking anyone up. It was rather fun i would say, saw the seriousiness and dedication of the flute section for once... as they had sectional till late at night to master some of the more unfamiliar pieces like Disney on Parade (well done pple, i am proud!!!) left on sunday morning, was tinking of staying for late practise before breaking from camp, but as i haven't touch anything on my theroy that is to be tested on monday, i left reluctantly, sorry about that guys... Anyway, last monday and tuesday was the days that puts our 2 months of training to test as we had theroy, aural, and practical test on these 2 days respectively... After that, there was a huge sigh of relief as it was finally over... the following few days were spent preparing for our graduation (which is this coming monday), and also collection of our uniforms like our number 1, 2 and 3 rather excited about it... heez... that was about it about my past week (*summarised)
Yesterday, went to Jazz@southbridge with some of my band frens (nic, junwei and louis), sort of like a celebration for our gradutaion as well as juz chilling out after a long week, the place is fantastic, nice music (from live band) and atmosphere... (hmm... birthday celebration there perhaps... heez.. will see). Was really relaxed and really enjoyed ourselves... thx Nic for that suggestion... As for today, went for dragonboat training with my daughter, there was loads of people and alot of new paddlers... was kinda difficult for me as i was wedge between a couple of them and the one behind me had diffculity catching up so she kept hitting my ore, whereas the one infront of me, guessing was rather excited, kept treating me to water from the river... heez... but overall its still a fruitful training day... hope my daughter had fun...
Anyway, wayne was telling me there will be training tml for the serious paddler, don't think i can make it as i haven't got any clothing for CNY this year... guess this is the only year have done my shopping so late... think i am going to spent the entire day tommorrw shopping... see hu i can ask along... As for tonight, haven't recieve any news or plans so guess i am going to spend my evening at home i reckon...
Well thats all i have to say i guess... have a fruitful CNY ahead everyone... hope the new year will be a better one... And one last thing HAPPY BIRTHDAY XUE TING, who is turning 21 today... heez... may u be pretty and happy always...!!! MUACK
here is a picture of me with felicia, got couple look???... heez...

As for today, went for dragonboat training with my daughter, there was loads of people and alot of new paddlers... was kinda difficult for me as i was wedge between a couple of them and the one behind me had diffculity catching up so she kept hitting my ore, whereas the one infront of me, guessing was rather excited, kept treating me to water from the river... heez... but overall its still a fruitful training day... hope my daughter had fun...
Anyway, wayne was telling me there will be training tml for the serious paddler, don't think i can make it as i haven't got any clothing for CNY this year... guess this is the only year have done my shopping so late... think i am going to spent the entire day tommorrw shopping... see hu i can ask along... As for tonight, haven't recieve any news or plans so guess i am going to spend my evening at home i reckon...
Well thats all i have to say i guess... have a fruitful CNY ahead everyone... hope the new year will be a better one... And one last thing HAPPY BIRTHDAY XUE TING, who is turning 21 today... heez... may u be pretty and happy always...!!! MUACK
here is a picture of me with felicia, got couple look???... heez...

First combine practise
FINAL WEEK TO THE BIG EXAMZ!!! Tension and stress level have rise a whole new level as we edge closer to the exams...
Today we had drill as the exam for that is this coming friday so Staff thought we need that extra practise and i feel we really need it... after that short practise, we went for a short break before joining SAF band B for a short combine session... was kinda enjoyable being finally able to play band music instead of individual practise... The standard is not really as good as i expected but it was alright... we sight-read a few pieces before breaking for lunch, time really flies when we are having fun...
After lunch we had IP (on of the few left this week) and i tried to make full use of it... worked on my scales in the first half and in the second half, worked on the pieces, discovered i am not really very familiar with one of the piece yet... guess more work have to be done... heez.. that is about my day lah... heez... anyway today is LILI BIRTHDAY... heez take this chance to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILI heez.... okko thats all for the day lah... looking forward to band prac tml after work at nyp!!! Ciaoz...

Training day
Today training was fun, but didn't see many regulars paddlers, guess they were alll too tired to continue since they race this morning (a fund raising raise for the tsunami victims) my daughter was suppose to come, but she was late.... tried to wait for her but she juz didn't make it on time... sorry daughter... made u wait up the beach for me...
Anyway, as i was saying training was fun, managed to sort out things better as in breathing and technic, hopefully i can work my stamina up to cover greater distance... Once ashore, i met angie so after keeping the boats with the guys, i decided to forgo the beer and go for 'lunch' with her since i made her wait so long... settled off at Mac... After that was home, where i took a shower and rot off the rest of the day.... not really tired, juz bored with no plans.... did some self practise then was television all the way... heez.....okok shall not get into anymore details if not i will end up say the shows i have watched... heez... thats about it... ciao

Beautiful saturday
Hiya pple, beautiful saturday afternoon, had a really good rest after a rather txing 4 day week, thanks to Hari Raya that we had a 4 day work week, one more week left to the actual thing, wonder if i am really ready...thursday before leaving, Staff told us to our 'worse case situation' if u were to not pass the test... juz hope i can make it... a long and busy week ahead i predict....
Yesterday was fun as i went to do some window shopping with the band gang, (Sasa, ah tom, Xiu and Zhisheng) walked the entire day man, went shop-hopping and had lots of joke along the way man... heex..had both japanese lunch and dinner, lunch at yoshi, and dinner at ramen ten...both was not bad but wasn't really feeling (heez..considering my appetite) walked all the way till about 11 plus at night before calling it a day, was rather enjoyable but zhisheng was the overall spender for the day being the onli one buying stuff yesterday. Strangly i haven't bought anything yesterday (rare for shopping trips) guess its due to the bill i recieved for my december spending on my debit card i guess... hee... need to tighten the belt abit liao..
Well this afternoon going to training again... last week Wayne was asking if i am going to be a regular... i really hope i can be a regular and get my stamina back... Anyway, its a good way to destress from music issues lah... Alright lah...guess thats all for the day lah.... will have to go pack my stuff for training later le... shall blog again soon....Ciaoz PEACE!!!

Sports day in Nee Soon camp
Its been a pretty fun day today i must say, surely if not the best time i had since i have entered the SAF Band. Its been fun but really shagged... This is why...
Morning, we had drill session, Staff Terry had a little talk with us to find out about our life there in camp and also tell us what is going to happen in the coming weeks before graduation. I am pretty fine with my drill, all left for me is theroy, aural and practical... After that went for a break before commencing on a little IP (individual practise), since the entire day was dedicated to sports, therefore i did not bring my flute, thus spending that time listening to some band songs and looking up some theroy...
After lunch is where the fun really starts as it was time for sports and games... there was a little change of plans, was suppose to go swimming but Staff insisted that we have a little game of captains ball (which was later changed to soccer) as a group getting everyone involved... its was really fun... and when its starts to drizzle a little, everyone paused game for awhile to get a drink and wait for the drizzle to subside (which took about or less than 5 mins). As the rest goes for 2nd half, My swimming gang (namely junwei, nic, andy, azmi and yeow mun) and i went for a dip in the pool to relax... went for a couple of laps and wash up to go back by 430...
After dinner (when i got home) i rest awhile and went for a run in the neighbourhood, was a short run, but was super shagged when i got home... guess its due to the many activities today... now u understand its a fun but shagged day.... anyway this is all i have... wanted to blog about band yesterday evening but guess today's entry is long enough... shall not say anything about it lah... its was ok in short (heez) alright then, off to watch my show le... ciaoz

First weekend of the new year
This is the first weekend of the new year... have to say its a pretty short week... (monday was off day, thus a 4 day week) the week went pass pretty quickly too i must say... starting to get the hang of things in band and also with my batch people...
Yesterday was a long day, its started off with drill where we went through the entire routine of the drill test... Staff say there wasn't problem with my drill only that i have to speak up louder during the reporting... Then the drill was interrupted as we were asked to go try on our No. 3 tops and No.1 and 2 bottom, feels great and look great in those bottom, can't wait to try the top too... heez... Anyway after the tryout we all went to get out things and went for out break and lunch... lunch is longer on the friday as the malays have to go for prayer... but i had physio (for my shoulder) at 1.30, hence went back to bunk to get change and went for physio... at the Medical center, i was introduced to several machines that will aid in the recovery of my shoulder. i was given specific instructions on how each machine works and how many reps to do, after that i was left on my own to work things out.... feeling great finally able to do things with my arms again... but there was a couple of machines that brought the ache into my shoulder... but i guess that is pretty normal, no pain no gain... Anyway my session ended at about 3.30 with a heat treatment to get my blood circulated... Afterwhich was back to bunk, change and headed back to the white house. Had about an hour of IP, of which i spend practising my scales. then was packup for home... Made a trip do to nyp, had promised to give sectionals to some of my fellow musicians while the rest have orchestra practise... first worked with them on their tone... after which had a combine sectionals with the clarinets... was a rather fun session as we worked all the way till about 10 pm... was tired but was a meaningful day spent for me....
Today, is the starting year's first weekend, spent it at home.... coz the weather have been so bad today making me reluctant to go out... was watching Singapore Vs indonesia first leg tiger cup finals juz now... Shockingly, Singapore played superbly and taking a 3-1 victory over indonesia... the one goal for indonesia was simply shouldn't be there if not for singapore slack of alertness in the very last minute, but nevertheless, we have a high chance of reviving cup title dream since 199. GO LIONS!!! heez... okok too carried away... haven plan much for tml...have a family dinner over at my aunts place tml evening so my evening is more or less occupied but really unsure about the morning... just take it as it comes i guess.. Next week will be yet another tough week.... and signifies one week closer to my exams (1st and 2nd or febuary or so i was told) Jia you to myself i guess... nights to all...

First blog 2005
Happy New Year to all!!! as we have send 2004 away and welcome 2005 with open arms, I can't help but feel sad that we have to end the year with such a major disaster (Asia Tsunami).. As the rescue mission is still being carried out, my prayers are with the families of those people still missing and uncontactable and my condolences with those families who have lost their love ones in this unfortunate even... May God be with them through this rough times and bring them peace of mind...
Anyway, back to my blog... had a pretty quiet new year i would say, spent it over at zhi sheng place this year... No one is really celebrating (who would at this kinda times). Was waiting for the gang to arrive at zhi sheng place, coz i didn't went to meet them at tampines so i went to bedok myself, so happened that Eunos have cancelled their celebration and have transform it to a donation drive for the accident... Was kinda drawn to it as i stood around to listen to their talk... and also play my part in the drive.... After which, i stroll around the neighbourhood, waited for the guys for close to an hour, before i met up with zhi sheng to go get them... then we proceed to zhi sheng place... its was like chinese new year as the whole place was so "re nao" once we reach there... lolx... and since his relative was still working on the food, me and 3 more kaki worked on the majong table first... heez... Dinner was great, got a feeling we are at marina south... heez...then we watch movie after dinner... that is when things kinda tone down as its already passed midnight so we didn't wan to wake the neighbours... Watched kungfu hustle and polar express (pirated), managed to survive KFH but 15 mins into poolar express i couldn't make it and fall asleep, simply knocked out... haha... but at 4 plus i tink i woke up again... and we atlk awhile and gossip... then xiu also couldn't take it no longer so by 7 plus we took another short nap, still remember she hid behide my back then i didn't dare to turn... hahaha well there was an episode when we woke up an hour later but shall not go into details on that... then after which we dragged our tired bodies home...
Spent the entire new year day at home, did some packing of clothing to be donated to the victims of the tsunami... then at night when to catch movie with my gang at night... watch Kungfu Hustle (pirated see liao not that song) and Meet the Fockers, was really funny couldn't stop laughing... and that was my day...
Today is almost similar to yesterday, can say slacked at home the entire day too, doing nothing but watch television and surf the net. Its been raining the entire day making me reluctant of going out... hopefully its will be better next week as i really wish to go and do some rowing (dragon boat) next week.. haha oppz... sshhh... better not let my mum finds out about it.. hee... alright then, i guess thats all Hope everyone start the year right and may 2005 brings more adventures in your (as well as my own) lives....CHEERS!!!
