Over in a Week!!!

Yeah, 2 more rehearsal to the actual and... NO MORE SAF DAY lo!~!~! now i can understand how the soon to ORD batch feel last year during this period of time, but I am more happy that this is ending soon as it finally ends my long time working with captain yusri...phew... feel like i been a POW this past time and finally light can been seen in hell once again... haha am i being over exaggerated? i wonder. I didn't day that without a reason, Friday we had rehearsal, and our conducting was Cpt Johnson, and i heard that its many comment that they felt the sudden decrease in stress level while playing, that tells alot yah?

Anyway, enough about SAF day, tml there will be more, meanwhile, i guess i would like to enjoy my weekend... heez, Oh yah all the shopperholics out there!!! more great sale is here as Club 21 starts to join the GSS craze, store with the likes of CK, G-Star, A|X and many more are having sale... my latest news is that Zara is also having sale already, so start your killing!!! hahaha enjoy yourselves!!!

Okok, now some recap on my past week, basically all is the same except friday where I attended a fren's, Alicia, 21st birthday, its was pretty fun i would say, but i guess she was too busy entertaining her other frens that we felt abit left out, but luckily we had uncle dennis, the ever so funny guy to keep us gasping for air after laughing so much... wo say its a pretty simple party, but most importantly is that everyone had fun... here are some of the pictures



(From left): a group picture of all present, except for irene who, as usual was busy brushing her hair in the loo... haha... the we have the birthday girl making her bday wish. Lastly, the group of girls and some of my best gossip and shopping kakis... hehe....

Argh, i donno what happened, but in just these past weeks, i have gained 1KG!!! its scary, yes and i guess i have to find my determination back again... Honestly losing it, so i guess i have to do something about it fast... Gambate to myself!! Anyway, guess thats all, cya next week then!!!

The "Fun" is just setting in...

Argh... I used to love the month of june, but that is way back in to my studying days... now, i absolutely dread it. SAF day, one of the biggest event of army, but the most dreaded by most of the units. (at least for those that is involved) . 2 more weeks and it will all be over... thank god, i am practically ripping of the days of my calendar, hoping that July 1st will come sooner... its that scary..

Anyway, the GSS fever is starting in me as i found oppotunity to go do some window shopping last week in orchard with my shopping kakis in camp... haha... Saw lots of pretty good buy, but have to abstain as i haven't draw up a list (shopping list that is). Many a times i have to have my hands in the pocket as its really itching to shop... this feeling is like drug addict getting cold turkey treatment, except that my addiction is safer... heez...

Last week, have been a hell week, been doing endless amount of parades and brunei rehearsal. everyday is packed with event and everyday i end off the day with my white shirt soaked in sweat, no kidding... Tml, start of a new week, and the vicious cycle starts again. not sure how much more of this i can take, in a couple of rehearsals my arm was giving sharp pain, definately a sign that i cannot forgo. Want to inform my spec about it, but kept in silence as i didn't wanna fall into the CY section, aka faking it colume.. Anyway this CY is a person that is getting on my nerves since the day he step into the band, but i guess i will not mention too much about him on my blog, its just tarnish my blog. Mentioning is name is enough to make my blood boils... so i am no gonna mention anymore...

Was suppose to go shopping with a fren today, but she is packing her place, another fren of mine also jio me, but i guess not coz I have to repack my stuff... heez... as the saying goes "if the old doesn't go, the new won't come" so yup.... alright then... may you guys enjoy ur day... blog again next week!!! ciaoz...

Long Break.... FINALLY!!!

The week seems shorter, 3 1/2 days to be specific, took off for the afternoon of thursday and entire friday. Really needed a rest, my right shoulder is giving problem again. feels abit loose, if you get what i mean.

Monday till wednesday, spent my day in tekong. pretty screwed up passing out parade i would say. but well its gonna be my last time on that island anyway. so i didn't mind... heez... Bass drum is really taking on a more negative effect on me than a positive one. its damaging my body physically and its taking its effect on my flute playing... which is a big thing. Something i have learned for 9 years lost due to something i was forced to play.

Anyway, yesterday started my first spending on GSS, cannot resist a good deal, so i got a couple of jeans from Guess... haha 50% off, how to resist... heez... and its not everyday items on those shelf fits me... heez... As the saying goes, "its takes a spark to light a fire", now the fire of shopping is finally burning. So its time for me to organise things that i should buy and plan a budget so as to not overspent... haha, strange words coming from my mouth, words like Budget and Planning, this words was never in my dictionary before army days. guess army really did train something out of me... heez... And believe it or not, i have not stepped into town (as in Orchard) since the launch of GSS. Worried that I cannot control myself i guess...

Ok lah... i guess thats all, will be going gym and giving Dragonboat a miss i guess. Dun wanna affect others training for the race, and remind myself that i cannot be in it... *sob still sore about it. have a great weekend then... ciaoz...

Back to Work!!!

Working out after a week of absence can be a little hard to chew, I am experiencing it right now... was thinking of going for training this morning but last night late night shopping have taken its effect on me and i was not able to wake up in time for training. Thus, i went to the gym instead. Didn't really concentrate, but did a pretty whole body workout. Coz i was thinking since i haven't work out for a week, all my muscle would be equally relaxed so by doing focus training, the sets of muscles involved might not take it... But little did i realise, that its so tiring man... have to start planning my schedule again, I have a month to my aim. its coming but not obvious... heez



Yesterday, lost morale of dragonboat after recieving news that the race have been changed to July 1 & 2, the days of SAF day. so decided to give myself a week's break since all my effort for the race have pretty much gone down the drain. Went to nyp for band prac instead, saw many familiar faces, coz its for aluminis, and its a good thing i have not completely lost touch on how to play the flute. felt so at home when handling notes rather then straight beat. (in SAF band i play the bass drum, in case you don't know what i mean). Quite impressed by the standard of the music actually, coz its sound pretty good. I guess this happens only when the band is made out of all talented musicians. heez... Enjoyed myself totally. After that, went to city hall and marina square to do some window shopping. Its my first time doing it since GSS started man. SALE is everywhere, making me, a shoppaholic, all hyped up.... My shopping kakis for last night was Alicia, Jac, May and Lewis. Haha, also the first time after a long while May came out shopping with us, been so busy for her after graduating. So i guess its kinda fun coz its brings back some memories of Aussies day man... lolx...



There was Midnight sale last night so we where loitering around Marina till close to 12, alot of people so pretty much glance through stuff, and have a rough idea of things to buy once my pay come. But i didn't go home empty handed neither, got myself a book from Times. haha, you guys must be thinking, who in the right frame of mind gets a book and SALE, lolx, well reason being its a good book and since it had offer so what the heck, besides i need something to read this afternoon too... heez...



Alright lah, i guess thats all for the day lah, will blog more next week when i get back then... meanwhile enjoy ur weekend! whatevers left of it... heez... Cheers!

Crappy week, and more to come ahead!!!

Argh!!! thought home can solve my crappy week but its seems that it just brought me more bad news... My dragonboat race dates have been changed to July 1st and 2nd, which clashed with SAF Day!!! means i cannot take part because i have to work on that day!!! there goes all my training!!! haiz...Great man, lost on whether to continue training or just forget it and do self training till the next race. Was really looking forward to my first gold medal... now its seems like its been snatched off, riped of my neck man... Argh, this feeling sucks man...



Will complain more later i guess, first of all i would like to congradulate a couple of my friends, Cheryl and Sherine, for passing there TP and now offically a driver like me... heez, both 14 pointer... only difference is that one is class 3(manuel) and the other is class 3A(auto). But no matter what, a licence is a licence, so happy driving yah... Was reading Sherine's blog and found out that she was tested by Instructor Asis, this can be purely coincidental but apparently i passed my TP under the same instructor. heez, what is weirder is, another friend of my, got his licence not long before me, and he passed with that same instructor too... haha how lucky can this be, fated i guess... hahaha



Ok back to more complaining, haiz, this week is super busy, practically worked the entire week off... wondering why i am working my ass off when i am already about to leave this dreaded place, SAF really knows how to make FULL use of one's POTENTIAL. Well, I don't really mind working, actually i love it, cause the day seems to pass really fast. Its just the fact that you are putting all the effort in the work and some others just sits around, and at the end of the day all get the same rewards, and at times, the slacker get more... its irritating and very unfair, but i guess i can only suffer in silence since i haven't got anyone at my end. Lucky i got a handful of frens that is willing to lend their ears when i need someone to grumble at. Yesterday had corp of drums at tekong, for the first time i felt the sore on my right shoulder coming back again, and at some moment i really felt it popping out and back in. I haven't an idea when its gonna happen again, but i am pretty sure, if this carries on, its will be sometime soon. Its not a good thing, because i am playing a pretty crucial role in the trip to brunei and the recent parades. haiz, at times i really wish to just quit playing the bass drum, solely because i only help out out of good will, and they seem to take advantage of me at times...But haiya, few more months left, and i would like to leave on a happy note with everyone. Tahan lah...



Guess thats enough complaining for the day!!! enjoy the weekend lah... just lost my mood by the change of the race date... but life goes on I guess, looking ahead!!!

Sian Sunday!!!

My Sunday was totally wasted, firstly because i woke up at 12.30 pm, wasting the entire morning in my dreams... haha, then the rest of the day is pretty much ruined by the weather as it was raining and wet...

Guess the most useful thing i did today would be running, couldn't take the bordem at home no longer, so went out for a short run around the neighbourhood, came back saw my mum's fren, haha was praised for looking different, fitter they say, (which I dun really think so) but nevertheless, happy to be praised. That pretty much settles my Sunday, very boring isn't it... haha Actually wanted to go town, but well no mood to shop so i guess will be a waste to see GSS in this kinda mood... Was suppose to go to the Aussie Study Fair with a fren, but well, whats the point of going when you know you won't have a chance to study there in the first place... so didn't in the end.

My finger is recovering, put some chinese medication on it last night, and today its pretty much covered up... Love and Hate that chinese medication, Love it coz its heats external wounds really fast, but Hate it cause it really painful when applying it... Heez, but no pain no gain i guess...

Nothing much to write already... Allow me to end of with an interesting quotes i happen to find while packing my room today

When It looks Like I Have Failed

Failure does not mean i'm a failure,
It does mean i have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean i have accomplished nothing,
It does mean i have learnt something.
Failure does not mean i've been humiliated,
It does mean i dared to try.
Failure does not mean i don't have it,
It does mean i have to do something in a different way.
Failure does not mean that i am inferior,
It does mean that i am not perfect.
Failure does not mean that i have wasted my life,
It does mean that i have an excuse to start over.
Failure does not mean that i should give up,
It does mean that i must try harder.
Failure does not mean that i will never make it,
It does mean thati need more patience.
The only people who never fail are those who never try.

Bad Hand Day!!!

What better way to start of my weekend then to get and injury... haha sliced my thumb by the side of the boat today at training... lucky time trials is over when it happened if not its gonna be a screwed day for me man... Here is one photo of my hand.The day didn't start off good for me actually, poured heavily as i head out for training, so had to get to training ground half wet. Then time trial, was first group up for the day, and did a super lousy timing of 2.17 mins, super pissed with myself, so had another go and ended with 2.09mins, slightly better but guess can be better. Anyway, its was the paddle back where my hand slipped from the oar, and hit the side of the boat, which so happen to have a slit. Didn't think much of it at first and carried on paddling, until i started feeling a sharp pain on my hand and i looked. Blood was covering my oar (the part that i was grabbing) and my hand was bloody and stuff... Heez, with that, i got to rest all the way back to shore as the rest of them paddle their lungs out... hahaha.

here is more footage of my injuried finger... haha nothing better for me to do i guess....

Beautiful Sunday

Today, went for a little outing with my section today, pretty much a birthday celebration for Jasmine and Adeline, as their birthday is around the corner... then caught the movie, "Over the Hedge" not bad, got a good laugh over it... heez.. saw zhi xun and gf also... haha... Anyway, got myself a Queen CD... very nice... starting to like it alot coz many of the songs have very nice lyrics.

After that got to borders for some Fish and Co. honestly, didn't really enjoyed the food there, other then the oysters. Got the Grilled Seasoned Fish, which is super salty, and the service sucks, from the moment we stepped in, we waited for a table, then waited for utensils, waited for water (which i requested from then for at least 3 times) waited for sauce, and even waited for the bill... haiz... poor poor service...

By then, it was time to call it a day... enjoyable day overall... haha maybe won't happen for awhile as everyone is busy with things, especially me, as i am busy preparing for SAF day and the brunei trip... nevertheless, it will be much remembered...

Birthday bash dash my aim...

First of all I have to wish my best friend, HERBERT a very Happy Birthday, and hope you enjoyed the night... though its pretty disappointing that you got drunk that quickly... missing all the fun on the dance floor... heez.. oh yah, and another friend HuiFen, heez so glad she still remembers me after all these while (4 to 5 year no contact??? cannot remember)

Had a very short week, worked for three days, but with the training we been through, our week have never been longer... Had a very sinful evening yesterday. Met up with bert and gang after work for a celebration. Had sakae sushi, had a whole table of good food, and since i only had 5 slices of bread the entire day, naturally i tucked in whole heartedly. After which, went to Obl O to party the night away... haha and when u get to this kinda place, alcohol is a must. Had a few glasses of beer, a shot of tequila and 2 tequlia pops. haha, and just dance the night away to all that R&B music... then had to dragged the already drunk herbert home, which is about 3 am... Lihao allowed me to drive myself home from herberts place... haha got to drive his mercedes. its fun experience but also stress since its a posh car... haha but at least i am getting the hang of auto cars. Still enjoy manuel cars thou.

There goes my no beer/alcohol diet. Today, got up at about 1pm, the latest since a long time ago. which destroyed every bit of my plan of going tanning. but didn't matter, the objective is to relax today and i did.. at home... in the comfort of my room infront of my computer. Tml there is dragonboat training... woo... hope it will be fun... as for the rest of the day will have to see, guess i haven't got anything installed... heez.. Thats all for the day i guess... Ciaoz

Monday B!!!

Its not really a big Blues... but things never seem to be good today, I guess partly caused by the cough that i had since last thursday... Spoiling all my plans, to go gyming that is... This morning, went Sentosa hoping to get a tan that I got last Monday, but apparently the sun was in the mood for some fun as it played a game of hide and seek with me, therefore didn't get the tanning session i wanted, went for a few laps in the sea instead before making my way back to mainland for some SUBWAY!! just love it... heez

Pamered myself with a puma t-shirt and settled something at the bank before making my way home... was dead bored at home, and can't go to the gym due to my cough... (trainers advised) but still cannot resist the urge, so went for a light jog around the neighbourhood instead and some light circuit training at the estate workout area, chin-up and stuff like that...

Haiz, burnt my weekend for the stupid horses... at the turf club i mean... Oh yah, and this is out to the Singapore Turf Club Management. I am really unhappy for the treatment i got from your staff for yesterday event. No matter what our band was there to provide a service for the event and its 2 days in a row, we are all tired and all... after the SIA Cup race as we are leaving through to another gate... having to carry the rather heavy bassdrum after a tiring day, movement will tend to get abit slower.. but we still made an effort to move fast as everyone is dying to get home, however as we were moving to the gate, a staff started to rush us in a pretty harsh manner... I mean i dun see no reason for that at all... I mean i can understand that there is still another race, but i mean we are not like in the way or anything. And whats with the harsh tone man, we dun owe you guys the service... It really sucks man... that all I have to say... No words of gratitude and we still have to take in attitude from the staff like we begged for the job... I am still pissed even when i bring up the matter now... But i guess i am not going to blow it up... since its such small matter, and its most probably my last performance for them... Just need to let it off my chest...

Alright, i guess thats all for this evening... more to do tml in camp.. have a wonderful week ahead all... Oh yah, i got to know recently that i have many 'secret readers' in my blog.. heez... do tag ur views yah... heez... thx... Cheers

Dame... down with slight flu...

Argh... Shoo Flu Bug... go away, find yourself another owner, I am not strong enough to have a Flu Bug as a pet... haiz, had sorethroat yesterday, was about to start so i kept drinking water like there is no tml, lucky for that, the sorethroat subsided (with the aid of kris medication too)... Now its the irritating running nose... argh.. hate the feeling of falling ill. Means that so many activities have to be put on hold... Tml gym session will have to wait till further notice from my body condition...

Anyway, couple of good things while i arrived home this evening... Firstly, Ladies and Gentlemen... may i present...

My licence!!! Haha, asking for it right... i know... but well its what i earned for 7 mths of hardwork man... haha guess i deserve to show it off abit.. heez... First thing i saw on my table when i reached home, a letter from the TP, when I held it in my hand, felt something hard inside, so the excitement rises, and as soon as i open it... there it was... haha waiting for me... heez.. so anyone who don't mind lending me his/her car, just give me a buzz yah... i could use all the practise i can get... haha... and don't worry I dare say i am a pretty careful driver... heez...

Another things that just arrived at my doorstep was my modem from singtel... haha finally upgraded my plan... will installed it soon i guess... Now i can upload more beautiful picture, haha... faster speed faster surfing man... woohoo... too bad i dun game.... haha...

Hmm.. tml is vesak day, nothing much planned, working for both saturday and sunday... sianz... have to go to stupid turf club to play for some stupid race, and its not like those pple there are interested... its just STUPID!!! argh!!!

Alrighty then, thats all i guess, till next time, Ryan OUT!!!

Work as usual for me!!!

Haha, many will be looking forward to this week as its a 4 day work week, friday is vesak day, long weekend ahead and everything right??? WRONG for me... cause work is as usual!!! I am working every other day except vesak day and today. Why!!! this kinda life really make me sick... Worse of all the PAY SUCKS!!! haiz...

Anyway, lets not talk about that anymore, went sentosa this morning, was really go weather for a tan, loved it... think will drop by there again next week. The beach was all quiet and there is plenty of room for me to bask in the sun... haha and suprisingly, there are quite a number of girls there... haha goes to show girls knows about enjoying life man.. heez... Stayed for a couple of hours, then made my way back to mainland for subway lunch. Then, walk around harbourfront for awhile before heading home. Been rotting since i stepped home... thats pretty much how i spent the entire monday, @ home. Can't really blame me, coz its pretty much a working day and all my frens are working. Will be heading down to gym later on, just had dinner so not really wise to start workout straight away. Going to start my workout regime again, get into shape fast... for the coming competition, left my exercise guide in camp, so guess i will plan it tml in camp then... well, meanwhile i guess thats all folks, hope u guys have a great start of the week... Cheers!!!

COG Main!

Finally after so many practise, its over, haha my debut performance at COG main as a Bass Drummer, fumble abit here and there, but overall its was not bad, or so i hope to think, and from feedback from the ORD personnels that was there to watch. Was tiring and having some difficulty gripping the sticks due to the glove, but now, just glad everything is over.

Here is a pic of the drumline for today, of which only 2 are real percussionist, the rest are woodwind converts, me inclusive. Its kinda fun trying out new things once in awhile, but then again, bassdrum its a really tough job... heez...

Yesterday, finally got my first taste of driving an auto car, which i really can conclude, its like driving a toy car... haha and very lazy, but its real fun.. Oh yah, by the way its my friend, Herbert's car... so kind of him to trust me... heez.. thx bro... My debut going into the expressway too, going at 90km/hr woohoo, must say its pretty fun... guess i really could use for experience... Today, another camp fren of my Zhi Xun let me drove his Lexus RX300, one of my dream car, who would have thought that i would have the chance to drive it man... haha wonderful experience, but due to my lack of experience and taking its for granted that the camp is empty, i neglected all my safety checks, which is something that you CANNOT forget, not matter where you are.. Thx Zhi Xun for telling me off... appreciate its... experience gained... heez...

Hmm... tml off, guess i will head of to Sentosa for a tan, and yes, its alone... well sometime when you got to go, u got to go, u get what i mean... hees (if not nvm)... and GYM... haha tml start of training day man... have bout 6 weeks left... so have to work extra hard... hopefully can get something back this time around... Alright then, thats all i guess... will keep updating once i got the time... meanwhile stay happening everyone... Cheers.

What a week!!!

WooHoo... May 2 2006... impt date now man... haha coz its the day that I got my driver's licence!!! yeah!!! ladies and gentlemen, yet another driver is born... class 3 licence... in case you guys are wondering, I got 10 points (neither here nor there but its alright for a first timer) heez...

Haha enough on the licence lah, no car, so life haven't changed much for me... *suck thumb*... Anyway, things in camp is really starting to get busy... COG, BIT (brunei thingy), SAF day!!! these three is already giving us lots of stress man... This excludes turf club performance next week, and ALSC the following.... argh!!! think i am really going to fall soon... haiz... but i cannot afford to, as the responsiblity of Bass Drummer is burdened upon my shoulder... for BITs...haiz... so many things to do, and there is only one me... not trying to make myself sound real important, its just that sometimes i feel that i am doing more that what the average bandsmen is required. argh, i need to "jian chi dao di", until the time i really cannot take it i guess...

Just got a call from my dragonboat captain, saying he wish to see me in the A boat... man another stress man. Thou its always been my dream to make it into that boat, as its where all the medals are... So time to work my ass off again.. haha... strict diet and stuff to come back... heez... hopefully all my hardwork pays off these 3 months...

Apart from that, its been a tiring week, oh yah, Sunday will be Changing of Guards again, its our turn to march down orchard road again, but the different is that this time round, i will be a bass drummer. So do come down and support k, its my debut performance for COG as a bass drummer, we are gonna march off at 530 from the intersection of hereen and the old singtel building... so yah... come down and watch it will be fun...

Alright i guess thats it, will try to post again when i can find the time... meanwhile guess i am hitting the sack, nite to all and have a wonderful weekend ahead

This is IT!!! No more turning back!!!

Tml at around this time i will know my fate... what seems so far away, now is so closed... still can remember the first time I got in control... tml is the real thing!!! If i say no fear, i am lying, but honestly, its not that bad, maybe tonight i will feel it... haha hu knows... But confidence level is still pretty high, so hope everything goes smoothly tml. Later will be my last lesson, to brush up on my weaker parts... then its all on my own tml...

Ok lah... then more i talk about it the more its haunts me... CHANGE TOPIC!!! heez, saturday head for dragonboating again after a couple week absence. People are just as friendly as ever, but missing the race seem to be a big mistake as it seems like i missed out on alot of fun and can't really relate to their topics, but all i know is, we have a couple of months to the next big race. DragonBoat Fest, happening on 24 June... Training time!!! Two weeks of rest really slacked me off quite abit as at some point, the fatique did crawl up upon me. Couple of time i almost couldn't catch my breath man... time to do more cardio i guess.. Afterwhich head home for a shower and just slacked saturday away...

Sunday was more fun-filled, met up with Sherine, Adeline and Waileng for a little KTV session early in the morning... had loads of fun as Wai Leng's jokes and funny moves brought lots of laughter in the room. After that, we carried on with a movie "Daisy" with my lovely "girlfriend", acting in it... haha (wishful thinking)... Its not like the average korea movie, yes its still about love story, and yes someone dies... haha but its much nicer, trust me... a MOVIE worth watching... Coz Ryan says so... haha...After which, we did abit shopping here and there, thou the progess just got in, but still have to save it for better use until i am certain of the outcome tml. heez.. For now save save save, heez... but saying that, yesterday's outing did spend quite abit also, as we went to try the korean food in the basement of far east. its not bad, but too bad the ginseng chicken cannot really taste the ginseng, but we all got out bloated coz we finished everything up... haha after that out final stop was at PS before heading home... its was really fun...

Today, make a trip back to camp, haha drop something off and get something back home, so i have lesser thing so bring back on wednesday... Stiff neck giving problem again. tink i will consult a specialist if this continues... wonder if its been my sleeping posture... haiz... Anyway, guess that all mate... heading down to the gym later in the day i guess... need to work those lacking muscles.. haha Have an enjoyable week then... Ciaoz.. Oh yah... HAPPY MAY DAY!!!

Loner life once more...

Now i know how its feels to once again be a loner... I thought i would never have that experience once again... but well its can be rather enjoyable... Morning, went to Sentosa alone, for a tan and also collect my islander card... was pretty quiet for a sunday, but the sun was pretty good... so i managed to get a layer of tan... thou not dark enough, but it was ok for me... Been out there for close to an hour before its started to rain... kinda expected it, looking at the clouds... so kinda packed up before the storm hits and head back to mainland before its pours...

Walked around HarbourFront, got quite abit of nice stuff, already on my "can buy" list... just waiting for the progress package to come in... haha... After which head back home thinking about rotting the day away... But my body was pretty hyped up... cannot keep still at home... haha so went to pumped it out in the gym...

Now, i am preparing to return to camp... dad have just changed his cab, so won't be driving for the next week... better return now then tml, hate traveling in the morning... haha Alright... i will end this lonely sunday evening here... may all have a great week ahead... 9 More days to go!!! Loner signing off...

Weekend!!!

Just realise that i haven't blogged for close to 1/2 a month now... that is a long time... but well have been pretty busy... but here it is... my life for the past couple of weeks... Guess i won't shall every detail, but just the highlights...


*** Good Friday Outing ***

Embarked on a 3 Days 2 Nights stay @ HangOut hotel with my flute section. so glad that so long, even after we have graduated. the bond is still strong within us... Started off the day with KTV at Cine, didn't know y i agreed (coz i am not a singing kinda guy, get wat i mean) but yah... had fun as I slowly explored my 'hidden talents' haha... Oh yah, took part in MI 3 Audition, was kinda fun and since we are stuck at Cine due to the rain, we tried... haha

After which, we checked in to the hotel, rot for awhile before heading to Chinatown for some porridge dinner... My idea since no one could decide where to go... hahaha then was off to Eski bar for a night of crazy fun... here are some photos..

Guess everyone had fun with the tequlias... i am sure i did... haha but well after was back to the hotel as many can hardly keep their eyes open... haha

Following day was suppose to be BBQ session at ECP, but due to the temptation of Kbox at Paradiz Center (which is pretty close to our place), we decide to sing again... haha first time singing so early in the day... but it was very fun too... After, we decide to just have out BBQ at a more convient spot, Marina Bay, haha save us all the trouble of cleaning after dinner... Pictures of dinner

After which we proceed to Picture house, the revamped cathey beside PS, for mover "Take the Lead". its a not bad movie... but i guess lack certain class if you view it in a professional manner, seems abit disrespectful to the dance... haha at least that is how i feel... but not a bad movie... Had rochor bean curd after... was superb... And that pretty much brings an end to the three days... was superb and lots of fun... heez... took a very cute neoprint... haha here it is...
haha cool right... well my uniform is from hogwarts... and the message i am trying to convey is "when magic fails, there is always a gun" hahaha....

*** end ***

Other than that exciting weekend, i guess its not much happening in life, things have been smooth in camp. we have now move on to the formation practise... and alos for several other parades such as COG and SAF day... We are slowly moving into the "peak period" and soon after that ORD lo... hahah cannot really imagine its really so soon... that i have wasted close to 2 years on NS... haha oppz... but well i guess there is some benefit here and there... just not sure where exactly....

It will be a week from my test.... really hope everything goes well and smooth... As for now... all i can do is not to mess up in practise... and everything will be fine i guess... Alrught then... i guess thats it... may all have a great day ahead... tata

Monday Blues.... abit...

Phew back from gym... was on HQ duty yesterday, together with COG, the day past really quickly. Haiz, Teresa didn't become the first Campus Superstar, so heart breaking. But she is a tough girl, merely teared. But i am sure she will be the next Clay Aiken, as in does better in everything compare to the guy. But i guess i won't totally say i hate the guy, coz he did pretty well too. Both were vocally strong, guess he won by his personality and ability to express himself. Feeling blue coz she didn't win, haha sounds really kiddish for my age, but well have been at this competition since their top 12, and have always been supporting her... so haiz...
TERESA U ARE MY CAMPUS SUPERSTAR!!!

Well... enough about Campus superstar i guess... the more i say the more the sour feeling rises from within... Hmm, oh saw a 'rich f**k' in camp today, while i was leaving for home after duty, why i say he is rich, well he come to work in a MASERATI!!! hahaha a class above the rest, making BMW 7 series seems like a toy car.. haha... now u understand y i called him that... all attention was given to him as the car drove into the gate man... haha life is just so unfair... haha


Was thinking of heading to town for a little shopping, but the moment i step home from town, got seated infront of the computer, the automatically 'died' haha, actually they are just lazy, or should i say i am just lazy and finding all sorts of excuses lah.. heez.. Besides another reason that is stopping me from town is well the fast depleting financial resources from my account... haha, in short, i am BROKE... money come and go really really quickly... hardly any to save at all... haha... Well, tml is work all over again, and yet another sunday duty... haha, must be thinking I must be crazy, but well everything needs sacrifices i guess... u lose something to gain another...

Feeling really sian, guess is lack of sleep, had to guard the phone, which strangly didn't ring for the entire evening. till close to 1 am before i give up and went to bed. Got up at 645 for breakfast before making my way home... And now after a pretty good workout... my energy is all drained i guess... Alright lah... i guess i will end off here... have a great week ahead, and enjoy urselves lah... Ciaoz

Woo Hoo... Finally dragonboat again!!!

Finally its the weekend AGAIN!!! haha... but at the same time while saying this, have to do HQ duty tml... so not much of a weekend left, in that case... haiz.. haha. Anyway, just make do with whatever i have first, as we are already approaching our 'peak' period.


This week there is quite a number of "first time" for me... Firstly, got new lesson, by a new instructor, and first time into a new environment. Its kinda different, and was kinda worried, but some how or rather, things went pretty smoothly. not as difficult as i thought, or heard. Secondly, my new phone finally got a taste of the floor... haiz... sad to say its slipped out of my pocket while i was trying to retrieve it. My heart smashed along with it when it hit the ground... but thank god its ok... at least everything is still in working order... Lastly, its my first time doing slow march funeral... had to do its yesterday for the colonel that pass off during the biathelon. Its was indeed a very sad moment, especially when u see his kids. Honestly, tears swelled up within me a couple of times when i caught glimps of the deceased's next of kins. haiz... life is so short...


Well, enough on my 'first times', now back to my weekend, looking forward to dragonboating again... haha missed it last week due to duty, so feeling more energetic to do for today's training. Saw some of the NYP team people training when i went back for band prac... and i must say... standards are deproving man.. haha... but well not nice to say anything since i didn't really made it to the team.. heez.. After Dragonboat still waiting for news on where to have dinner with my frens... they are doing the planning... Oh yah to all the shopping lovers out there, some update on the sale i seen. Project shop is having a 50 - 70 % sale on selected items, things are not bad, can drop by to take a look, erm... other then that, Levis at taka is also having a up to 70% renovation sale, saw a queue so i guess there must be some good deals... no harm checking it out... happy shopping then... Guess thats all i have for the day then... cya soon ba... tata

Weekend burnt yet again...haiz...

Just got back from a little morning jog around the neighbourhood. felt a little guilty after all the beer i had last night. heez... but i enjoyed them, thou its abit not enough. Had a little chalet for Band A, for the Dinner and Dance the other time. Won't say its very complete, why, coz firstly, its an ALL MALE event. Secondly, there was NO booze. Lastly, there wasn't even a radio to entertain the people that are BBQing... Oh yah, many thx to Nasser and Azre for all the food. its really nice, and thx for going healthy with the salad (mine suggestion...=P)

Now that this BBQ is over, just recieved news on another "BBQ", haha, you guys must be thinking am i even working right, well this "BBQ" ain't the normal type, its a SAFband's term for funeral parade. thats what the "" is for haha. Its happening this Saturday for the Colonel that died at the biathelon. Sunday I have HQ duty yet again, so both days of my weekend BURNT!!! sob...

Later, going for lessons with Mr Yeo, my last with him before i change to Mr. Yap, hopefully i can do well for all those weak points... after which should be heading to the gym. Not sure if i am going for band prac today, if my body allows i would go, considering only having 4 hours of slp. Think thats all about it for the day lah... will blog as soon as i get back... probably next week... ciaoz...
