Finally.....

Well.... today finally got the time, chance, and energy to do some blogging... been quite active the last 2 days....then very tired at night... so it's every night reach home liao then sleep....so today is my rest day man....

This week actually booked out on Thursday liao... because Friday morning is some very boring NE tour... then half day... so we were allowed to stay out, then Friday morning come back...

Spent the whole night of Thursday fixing my LBV... for those who dono... it's a new SAF product... which is very hard to fix up... the whole group of us spent around 2 hours fixing it, with my CSM guiding us along...
But it's quite a good thing though... with a water bag, then got new and bigger and better swiss army knife, plus a LED torchlight...and also alot of pouches to put the specific stuffs... thus the hazzle of fixing up the vest..
Think SAF win toto or something... it must have spent alot to change to this new SBO.. including all the accessories...
Then after that quite late liao.. got to call my brother come fetch me...
Oh yar... in the morning also went to run 10km... part of the CSb requirement... was quite lousy... took around 58min.. passing time 65min... too long never do long distance runs... since my 22km man... haha... so i was like the slowest specialist around.... but well... at least not the last person... ok lar.... haha...

Then Friday morning went for the tour.. went around some Indian temples and Malay morsques... walked around little India...went to the old Istana, a museum of sort... the end....
Well... ok lar... see see here and there... know more about their practices and stuffs... know history... yar....
After that went to chiong around Bugis with the Mortat and ATGM specialists... celebrated 2 of their birthdays early too.. at the food court there... only to be told by the manager that we cannot bring outside food(the cake) in... in the middle of our celebration....
Hey dude... we are celebrating a birthday here... can you like talk more politely... or at least wait until we finish then say or something....
And com'on.. it's not like all of us didn't eat.. we all ate at the foodcourt... then our paltes and stuffs or kena cleared by the cleaner liao... then how? Ask them to leave the plates behind as evidence? Is there a need for that?
And somemore it is just a small celebration... we didn't even sing a song... then he have to come and spoil the mood... feel like complaining to the foodcourt or something....
And next time... get your facts right before saying anything.. by the way... there were still 2 cups of beverage on the table when we were celebrating... so how can he accuse us of not eating at the foodcourt?
Haiz... never mind about him...
After that we went to chiong arcade and lan... me solo on WC.... 2 games... quite sucky... died before airport... then went to play some CS with the rest... quite fun... because most of them are not very good in it... so i fragged alot... especially in the sinping map.... 2 on 1 of me i also manage to win.... haha...

After that... i went shopping around with the few of them left... then after that went to meet my mum and brother at Bedok MRT there... going over to my aunt's house to help out abit with their renovations.... because they only got 2 daughters...then my uncle and aunt abit old le.... so got some problem with moving the heavy stuffs around... so my mum initiated going over to help out...
Well... not a problem with me... need some working out on my muscles... been slacking quite abit since becoming a commander... haha...
The only thing though... is that i missed watching the half-version "Guess Variety"..... haiz... but well.. can catch the full version on Sunday night though... but it's till 0100... so abit xiong....

Spent quite abit of time there shifting stuffs alot to facilitate the workers... then after that my aunt treat us to dinner... then after that go home le....
And i slept almost immediately after that... quite tired... so didn't blog or anything...

Then come Saturday... which can be considered my most active day liao... in the morning went to fetch JK from camp to go Hougang there play basketball with KL and the 2 Alvins...
Had quite an ok game... starting abit not very "on"... think because quite some time never play... then keep on got people bickering about my playing in the background... giving alot of de-moralising sounds... quite irritating man... hope this guy know who he is and change abit.... those sounds are quite irritating already.... seriously.... honestly....
Then when we changed to a less noisy team.. i began to pick up... doing quite well in it.... so in conclusion... i would say the noise is affecting my performance... all the noise....
Next....

After that went to have lunch with them... then after that sent JK back first, then went to KL's house first, before sending KL and Alvin Gan to Alvin Gan's house... Kl need to do some project stuffs...
Actually i also dono why i agreed... but i agreed to send them there... then went down all the way through Hougang again to go Marine Parade find my mum, at my mum's house... abit not veyr shu lu... but well....

After that... went home... then Alvin realise he left his wallet in my car... then so i agreed to meet him and his cousins for badminton at Hougang Sports hall there for a game... then shu bian return him his wallet....
Haiz...hougang again... sometimes i think i should move to Hougang or something... keep going Hougang....
Very long didn't play badminton... but i guess my standard still around there.. jsut that reaction slower... one of Alvin's cousin was quite good though... school player or something... the other one also not bad... so it's like we initally lost to them terribly... then after that got win abit when we swap team.... haha... not bad lar... quite fun.... just that i am still not used to the poor air circulation inside the sports hall... then felt uncomfortable halfway throught the game... but still hold on till the end... that's my spirit... haha...

After that... went to meet KL, then went to JK's house to pick him up, then went to Heartland mall to meet WK and YS for dinner... went some coffee shop for western meal... quite nice... and the price is reasonable...
And after that... as usual.. went to play WC...played 2 games of 4 players and 3 players...
First round played with KL, YS and WK.... we lasted till the 2nd last stage... actually only KL did... the rest of us died at airport... because most of us only got 1 life left at that stage... so might as well chiong... and so i also died...
2nd round wise... WK left... then in the end me and KL played till the last stage before dieing... this time i still died earlier then KL.... haiz....
But well... i seriously don't think KL should died like jsut abit before me man... it's like for the first game... i later stage then get abit of life... and for the 2nd round.. i only got 1 life i think... Kl should be able to chiong all the way till king... given his constant life taking...
Hmm... guess that shows the difference.... Errmm hermm.... haha...

After that... initally wanted to go home wihtout sending the rest of them except YS to Alivn's house to watch soccer... because initally i thought i ahve to enter TPE then go to ALvin's house... so rejected them on the sending... with the stubborn Wk still trying to hold on to my car by sitting on the drivers seat.... -_-"
But after driving out abit...realise that i can enter TPE from Sengkang there... then decided i should try out that route... so called them back again... then send them on the way lor....
Haiz... what to do.... chauffer what....think i can become professional chauffer liao...
Then... a very sian thing happened.... Alvin took my badminton racquet by mistake.... dotz... think get it back form him next time lor...

But seriously... i think sometimes when the driver drives... the "noise" should cut down man... it is irritating... and at the same time.. distracting.... the same type of noise fomr basketball man.... Arrgghhh....
And on a point... i don't really need people to teach me how to drive... but thanks for the advice....

Then basically.... yesterday night reach home also just went to sleep le... very tired from all the sports and driving... and so also cancelled playing soccer with the rest... i need some time to rest at home man... because my next weekend is going to be burnt.. thanks to 5 S.I.R... got to help them with live firing exercise because they no more commanders around except for a PS.. the rest all ORD le...

So today... woke up late... watch movie... went to buy some army stuffs... spent the afternoon packing up my plants... very long never attend to them... abit untidy le... then that's about it le...

By the way.... my destop spoil liao... dono why... dono how... my brother use until spoil... sian...
If any computer expert around here is free... maybe can help me take a look?

And... my new car coming in 3 weeks later only... sian...still got to wait so long... haiz...

Haha... oh well... think i go prepare for book in liao... booking in early to learn some stuffs for some ATEC test tomorrow...

HaPpY BirThDay To Me~~~

Haha... as above... today is my birthday.... haha... 20 years old liao...

By the way... a very heart-felt sincere thanks to those who remembered my birthday... and send me all the wishes and greetings... haha... ^_^

Didn't have much of a celebration today... spent the day playing Generals at home... then after that went shopping with my parents and aunt... and after that went for dinner at East Coast Park there, at one of the seafood restaurants.. some Little Red House or something....

Called my another aunt and uncle along too.... then my parents purposely don't want to tell them it's my birthday.... haha... because they have always been very nice to us... so don't want to bother them with buying presents and stuffs...
So to Sharon(my cousin.. not my class one).... hlep me tell your parents it's ok.. we purposely one... haha... and thanks for their gift...

The food was quite good...quite satisfied... anyway we didn't order alot of special stuffs also... so it was simple and nice...
But the chili crab was quite good ... haha... but it was also the most expensive...

Oh well... once in a year celebration... ok lar...

Seem to realise one thing though.. after some talking with my Tu Er(after eating my chili crab).... think it's because i told her last weekend that i maybe confined during Saturday... then in the end it's like no one called for an outing today....
And thus.... i have to celebrate with Generals.... -_-

Hmm.... honestly... think abit wasted lar...short of some presents.... haha.... but well... got the heart can liao lar... presents are all "outside the body materials"....(sounds abit fake right... haha.. but well...hmm.... never mind)

But abit sian... the information pass around not very effecient... rumour has it we doing SOC today... then suddenly it became like it's for the men... not commanders... diao.... then it's like i yesterday then know...
Oh well... since it's over... it's over....

Trying to post some pictures of my cake smashed face... but haven't got the photos yet... my fellow specialist has it...

Well... just one more thing to note though... this is my 20th year of being a bachelor!!!!
Haha.... feeling abit proud of it.... i think very few people can challenge me on that... except maybe the few of the VS guys.... haha... all gaying around...

Oh well... guess that's about all le... go sleep liao...

Backed.... finally....

Finally... i'm back again... haha... had quite an eventful day today... as well as an eventful week....

Last week was so busy... ddidn't have much time to talk about the week.. but never mind.. it's over... haha..
This week... quite ouccpied the whole week... ebcause got alot of CSB trainings... like a 16km route march in East Coast Park.... and some weapons training...
Thise who were at ECP on Wednesday from around 2000 should have seen us.. the whole battalion marching together... quite fun... and interesting... because so far all of my rotue amrches are in Pulau Tekong... no public interaction... haha.... then now at least got more things to see... more then just trees and grass...

Then Thursday also got Specialist gathering... all teh WOSPEC gathered at Specalist Mess for some games and beer.... they actually forced all of us, the new specs, to down a can of Tiger beer... and me... being a non-beer drinker... couldn't finish the can.. so got my friend to help me out... haha... i only dirnk those fruit alcohol... not beer... very bitter... not very nice...
Was quite fun... becuase basically it was all the specialist downing beer together... form the RSM to CSM to us... and also to some of the commisioned officers present who were gracing the event...

And fianlly.. today... haha... most happening liao.... my fellow specialists actually helped me to celebrate my birthday! They actually went to buy 2 cakes for me... without me knowing... sly man.... haha...
Initally.. i didn't know about it... and was sitting in the PC's office rading comic... then my friend, a specialist from ATGM came into the office to ask me something about my birthday can the cake... then at first i wasn't aware of it... thought he talking rubbish....but then just nice one of my mortar specialist came in... and overheard the conversation.. then scolded the ATGM specialist for revealing the secret...
At this point... i got abit suspicious... but i still wasn't convinced that they actually bought a cake to celebrate my birthday.... haha...
Guess that's the thign with being in the army man... i can't feel much of any type of celebration anymore... even though my birthday is like tomorrow... but i can't feel it... like not much of a mood to celebrate it...
But well.. i have to thank my fellow specialists for "waking" me up to realise my birthday is here... haha...

And so.. i went out.. and they got the cake ready... and also called back the mortar platoon(who were very eager to book out actually...think they abit du lan to be called back...haha).
And so.. did the usual stuffs of songs.. and cut the cake... some type of chocolate cake.. and then... 2 men... daringly... smack their slice of the cake on my face... WTH man.... haha... but well... i wasn't the least angry.... quite fun.. though i am considering giving them some extras for doing that...
Haha... just kidding lar....

And that's when everything started... my specialist came to attack me also... turtle... lucky i did't bath and change to my book out attire... i was still in smart 4 man... but well... i had my fair share of revenge as well...also went to whack those who haven't changed as well...

Then after the chocolate cake.. the men left to book out liao.. then they brought out another peach fruit cake... this time it is to celebrate with the commanders... together with my PC and OC... they did't join in just now... because they were in a meeting... this time no more cake war... because the cake too nice liao... haha... also treated the other specialists who were around...

Then basically... after that...the rest booked out too le... then i went up bunk to clean up.. and book out much later... because i was waiting for my parents to come fetch me... haha...

Well... quite happening today... haha...

Kia Picanto!

This title suppose to be Sunday's one... but because on Sunday my brother need to use the modem for his homework.. university now very busy .... then homework ans stuffs also can online one...

As mentioned... on Sunday we went down to the Kia showroom at Eunos there...and after some discussion... and test-driving the Picanto manual... we came to a family conclusion.... an AT Black Picanto...
By the way... AT = auto transmission....

The colour... is actually chosen by me... black quite cool... although accident rate is like the highest...
As to the transmission... i initally wanted maual... because firstly.. i haven't been playing around with the maual gear for sometime... feel like practising on it... then getting a MT is also cheaper by $3000... and since i am going to be footing the instalments... cheaper is better...

But after some discussion... we finally decided on AT... because firstly.. it's much easier and safer to use... especially at slopes of shopping mall carparks... won't roll back... reduce the possibility of rolling back adn hit the car behind to zero...
Then also.. at the end.. when we are going to sell the car... the resale value will be higher... since nowadays most people are driving AT... to be precise... 70% as mentioned by the salesman... so getting AT is a much better choice....

And so.. that's about it for the car... my parents helping me to pay the downpayment...took a 6 years loan... then i will have to fork out around $164 per month for the instalments... together with my brother... but most likely i will be paying for now... since my got a steady Sergeant allowance....

So much mentioned about Sunday... but haven't mention anything about today... or how come i am at home at this time.... haha...
Oh well... today there is a battaltion celebration at Pasir Ris Park there.. then after that they book out form there.... but i was the COS yesterday... and so by the time i handed over my duties... it's already cannot make the timing to the celebration already.... so i went straight home to rest lor... so in a way... got a day off.... ^_^
But hey... the whole battaltion booked out yesterday evening.. then they go to the celebration themselves this morning... so i was also robbed of my night's off... so it's only fair i get a day off... haha...

And so.. spent the whole day sleeping at home... now still haven't decide want to play punk or not...haha... after all... they took my 1 night of sleeping at home...

well... see how about it...

That's all...

*2105: Phew... jsut finished re-applying my application to NTU... wrote some essays here and there.... well... wish me luck on it man.... NTU will be my only way now....

Kia... Picanto?

Today.... hmm... went out whole day till evening... and as the title suggests... went to look for a car as well.... haha.... about time..

Morning sent my brother to NUS... then went shopping with my family at IMM... then after that went to look around for a cheap good car... because i am going to be footing the instalments...

Went to look at alot of agencies....Proton (forgot the name liao)... Toyota (Yaris)...Kia (Picanto)...

Not satisfied with any of the cars... except Picanto... the proton one too lao ya... YAris too expensive.. i might as well get a Altis with the price...
The most ok one is the Picanto.... anyway that was the one we were eyeing.... cheap and good.... haha...

Went for a test drive on it.. quite goo lar... not bad... i am a safety driver.. so i don't mind the speed abit slow... and the noise... engine abit noisy... but still ok...

We haven't decide on colour and transmission type... so we just gave a $100 deposit as a sort of "booking" fee... go home then discuss with my brother on the colour and transmission thing...
Personally... i would prefer a black and maual one... since it is going to be a sort of spare car... go as cheap as possible lor... though a automatic one would be easier to drive... but i guess i should train on my manual liao... losing touch of it le...

Basically...after that went home to rest and watch TV le...

Didn't go out with friends this weekend... tomorrow no basketball as well... so well... guess it will be a slacking weekend...

That's all...

Out again....

At home again... today booked out early... at 1300... because my mortar platoon missed the Company's night's off on Wednesday because we were working on a "Secret" project.. a first in a world kind of thing... so i shan't elaborate any details... we practically spent 3 days at PLC doing the thing... actually around 2 1/2 days... so to pay back.. the mortar platoon got to book out early today...

Did nothing much.. just stayed home... played Generals... watch TV... especailly "Guess Variety"... got all those bloody gay boys.. see already feel damm gay... oh well... it's a show... quite funny anyway...

This week passed qutie fast.. because of the "Secret Project" thingy.. then the rest of the days are spent training or lazing around abit... haha...

Got some interesting thingyt though... the "Tammy" thingy... spreading around camp like bush-fire...especailly since when NYP is like jsut next to our camp.... some of the guys even have it in their HPs...
Personally... i seriously think it is morally incorrect to help promote the video... so i don't bother to watch it... even though my whole bunk has watched it... think it just defys the very basic morals of a human being man....
Anyway.. 1 thing i don't get it though... is why some "bloody pervert" will insist on showing me the video while i am playing chinese chess .... it's like....Hello.. i already said i don't want to watch.. what the hell is your problem... and the pervert himself go and watch the video like 3 times...right infront of us while we are playing chess... what the hell man... sicko...pervert.... whatever...

Anyway... this pervert is the same guy that i have always been talking about in my entries... yar... the same old guy.... dono why he just irks me man...
Haiz..... oh well...

Guess that's about it le... nothing much...
