1 more week to Valentines Day!

Bought a Polaroid Camera for her as a present, but then my bubble got popped when she said that she wanted to buy one because she was having a great time spamming pictures using her friend's Polaroid Camera. So I gave her an advance present and it was nice seeing her happy. However, the thought of not giving her any presents on the actual day seems like a bad idea, so I guess it's time for me to crack my brain to see what can I get her.

Anyway, seeing posts on Twitter about "Life Lesson" got me thinking, "Among all the life lessons, which one is the most important?".

For me, I feel that the most important life lesson would be about making the right choices and decision. No matter how much effort you are willing to put into a relationship, be it BGR or just normal friends, the most important thing is about the choices you make.

Given a certain scenario, like sms-ing somebody of the opposite gender, you could choose to reply with a long text or just a simple "Ok". Choosing to reply with a long text implies that you are willing to communicate with the person and depending on your choice of words, you might even misled them to think that, "Hey, this guy/girl is interested in me." while replying with a simple "Ok" implies that, "Hey, ya. I got your message and I'm fine with me." and the conversation usually ends there.

For me, I had my bad share of experience of making bad choices. Like what happened after Sundown Festival 2011(I got into an accident if you didn't know), I had a choice to wait for the other cars to move off first before moving. Yet, I've chose to reverse my car in an attempt to cut the queue and got into an accident. At that point of time, I was angry at myself for being impatient and ended up with a $600 bill for my repairs.

Every action has its consequences, and by choosing your course of action, would result in either a good or bad consequences. Like when you're in a relationship, choosing to be close to someone of the opposite gender can have a very drastic effect to your partner. Another example would be like leaving out your partner's present for a gift exchange during Christmas. All these actions do have very drastic consequences which would end the relationship if he/she does not do anything to salvage the situation.

The choices you make would not only impact you in every aspect of your everyday life, but of others as well. So I guess the most important lesson in life boils down to making the right choices and decision. And I do hope that you would come to realize it quickly and make the right choice.

I SURVIVED A FINAL DESTINATION SCENE!

Was using my computer at home as per normal when I started hearing weird stuff from above. At first, I thought my neighbour dropped something on the floor. But when I heard a crashing sound and weird noises coming from my ceiling fan, I realized that my fan's blade had dropped. And the best part was, I was sitting directly below it.

Thank god for this cage:

Picture this:

I'm sitting directly below the fan.
The screw that holds the fan's blade dropped.
The fan's blade dropped.
If the cage isn't there, my head will also drop.

Oh wells. They say this year is a really bad year for the dragon babies, true enough. But nontheless,

Happy Chinese New Year people!

Will update soon. My life has been quite a mess ever since 2012 started. So I'm hoping that things would pick up for me real soon. HUAT AH!

I'm disappointed with your replies. Do I mean anything to you?

2012-01-20T00:55:00.000+08:00

"Happy 25th month"

2012-01-16T19:52:00.004+08:00

不管别人说的多么难听,我就是喜欢你。

2012-01-15T14:58:00.001+08:00

I was the only fool all along.

2011-12-30T20:08:00.005+08:00

1 more day to the end of 2011. Highlights for this year:

Participated in NDP
ORD-ed
Taiwan trip with my SCE buddies
Watched NDP Preview live
Started studying in NUS
Got level 1 sport climbing certification
Got my golf proficiency certificate
Went for a short get-away in Avillion Port Dickson
Had my first NS called back

Well, this pretty much sums up my 2011. And now my resolutions for 2012:

Get good grades for my studies
Slim down to 60kg
Get IPPT silver
Get a holiday job
Strike the lottery

Yup, I'm easily contented. LOL.

2011-12-25T18:52:00.012+08:00

Can't seem to recover the pictures and videos I've posted on my previous entries, but nonetheless:

Merry Christmas to whoever is reading this!

Just returned from my Port Dickson trip not too long ago. It is a beach and holiday destination situated about 90 km from KL. Enough of words, let the pictures do the talking:

Spent 3 days 2 nights there. It's more of an escape from the city life rather than it being the normal exploring, shopping and sightseeing type of holiday trip.

The resort's service was excellent, something which you can't find in Singapore. All the service staff that serves you are very friendly and they are really efficient.

The only complain about this trip is the travel agency I book with sucks. Delayed the bus by an hour due to its administrative problem and sent lousy bus drivers.

Oh wells, overall it was a really good experience. However, I don't think I'll be going back there for a 2nd trip unless I have too much money to spare. LOL.

Time for me to get ready to go for my next Christmas gathering with my secondary school friends. Will update soon!

2011-12-22T15:22:00.002+08:00

I've just changed my Gmail account and now everything in this blog is screwed up. Will try to get it fixed soon.

2011-12-10T02:36:00.004+08:00

It's been almost 2 weeks since I last posted something. Been slacking alot lately with my screwed up body clock, sleeping at 4-5am and waking up only at like 3-4pm.

Been keeping myself busy with some exercise such as running, soccer and basketball as well as the usual routine of watching movies. Caught these few movies for the past 2 weeks:

Out of these 4 movies, my favourite would be 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' or also known as <那些年，我們一起追的女孩>. This movie reminded me of the good times I had with my friends in secondary school. It really brought back some really decent memories of the things I did back then.

Oh wells, time flies and I'm struggling now in university. Feeling damn broke and all. Hope I'll be able to do well for the remaining years in university and get myself a decent job, or maybe win a $3 million TOTO jackpot. LOL.

Time for me to end this post now, need to tune back my body clock now and try to sleep early. Will try to update soon!

2011-11-29T14:52:00.008+08:00

Attended the Sundown Festival 2011 at F1 Pit Building on Saturday. Got the tickets from a friend. Can't post much pictures on this post because I forgot to bring my camera.

The concert was great despite the lousy planning and crowd control on the organizers' part (I stood there for 2 hours plus to wait for the concert to start). Even though I forgot to bring my camera, here are some videos taken by my iPhone:

And for better pictures of the event, you guys can click here

2011-11-21T02:03:00.004+08:00

Just got home from soccer not long ago and saw some videos posted on Facebook. Can't really recall if I had watched these episodes before but it's from a local variety show named <搞笑行动>.

I believe all those who were born in the 80s won't forget this show. Apparently, it is the longest variety show in Singapore history, which started from 1990 to 2000.

Without further ado, here are the clips:

Enjoy!

It's the start of my study break today. Decided to finish up my post on NDP Preview before starting my mugging.

Managed to get hold of 2 tickets for the preview:

And so I went with her:

The view from where we were seated:

Then the show started:

With the Red Lions:

And the displays of some of our Army's capabilities:

Then followed by the parade's march-in and form-up:

And the raising of our nation's flag:

The show segment continued:

Before ending with our all-time favourite, fireworks!

Here's a video of the fireworks display at the preview show:

The show was good. It's been like almost 12 years since I've watched NDP live. And being part of the organizers during my NS days brings back good memories of NDP.

So that's it for this post. Will update soon!

In Episode 6 the final episode of Olay project 360 we will finally find out who the winner of the series is! #olay360

She's 43 - Masako Mizutani:

And she's 15 - Fiona Fussi:

And some pictures of the 43 year old reminds me of Mummy Ting. There's a slight resemblance. Especially this photo:

As promised months ago. The pictures for my Taiwan trip after I've ORD-ed.

*WARNING. This is going to be a SUPER LONG post*

Went Taiwan with these 3 blokes.

Arrived in Taipei and had our first meal in Taiwan.

And we stayed near XiMenDing:

Went to Danshui on the second day.

And we almost walked to Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf before we decided to take a bus. LOL.

Then to XinBeiTou to visit the hot springs.

Before heading over to the National Palace Museum.

We then settled our dinner at the Shilin Night Market.

We then ended our night by singing K at Partyworld!

Visited Taipei101 on the third day and met up with another of our OCS friend who is happening to be in Taipei working with his dad.

We then bought tickets for the High Speed Rail to Kaohsiung before heading back to our hotel for an early night.

Woke up early on the fourth day and sat the High Speed Rail to Kaohsiung. The journey took about 2-3 hours.

Checked in our hotel before visiting these places:

Then settling our dinner at Liohe Night Market.

Went to the Dome of Light before heading back to rest for the night.

Went to Dream Mall on the fifth day. According to Wikipedia, it is the largest shopping mall in the entire Taiwan and East Asia.

We then went to rent bicycles and cycled along Ai He(Love River) all the way to Kaohsiung National Museum of History. However, the museum was closed when we reached.

Settled our dinner at this place which was recommended by the staff at our hotel. The serving was huge! We then went back to our hotel after dinner to have an night as we're heading to Kenting the next day.

We booked a cab to drive us all the way to Kenting. The journey took about 2 hours. We stayed near a town in Hengchun, an ancient city built in 1873 during the Qing dynasty.

We found this shop by accident as we noticed a long queue outside.

On the sixth day, we bought tickets to enjoy the water activities at the beach!

Went to the night market to settle our dinner and even plated their street games.

And ended our night with a game of pool.

Bought train tickets to head back to Taipei for our 'last burst of fire'. Decided to take the train back because it was much cheaper than the High Speed Rail. However, the journey was much longer. Took like 5-6 hours via the train instead of 2-3 hours via the High Speed Rail.

We then stayed back at our hostel in XiMenDing and had the famous Ah Zong Mian Xian for dinner.

We then spend the rest of the trip at WuFenPu shopping. It is similar to our Bugis Street, except with more shops and nicer clothes. LOL.

And this is the amount of Tai Yang Bing we bought before heading back to singapore.

The trip was awesome and I'll miss those fun times I had with those guys during the trip as well as during our NS stint.

More pictures can be found here, here and here.

Will post up the pictures of the NDP Preview soon!

2011-11-02T15:37:00.003+08:00

My exams are approaching. One word.

STRESS!

It's been ages since I last touch this space. I'm not sure if anybody still comes to this stagnant space to see the same videos all over again. However, I'm going to try to keep this space updated and fill whoever that is still reading this from my previous post.

A quick update:

ORD-ed since 15th June.
Went Taiwan for an ORD trip from 20th June to 30th June.
Went to the NDP preview show on 30th July.
Started University on 10th August.

School started for almost a month and I'm still kind of lost with the current modules that I'm taking, especially Maths. Seriously need some help with it. Oh wells.

That's all for now. Will update soon with pictures on my Taiwan trip and the NDP Preview show.

2011-04-20T23:55:00.001+08:00

16th.

Happy 15th months.

2011-03-05T21:33:00.003+08:00

Last year, I remembered I moved you to tears with that single gesture.
This year, all I did was to almost bring you to tears with another.

I'm sorry.
Happy Birthday, baby.

2011-02-20T06:00:00.004+08:00

我真的好想你, 你是否也像我一样?
如果没有你, 没有过去, 我不会有伤心。
但是, 我还是爱你。

My final post.

2010-12-22T23:34:00.001+08:00

Don't ask.
Don't bother.
Don't care.

It might just make things easier.

2010-12-17T00:37:00.003+08:00

Buying a computer game doesn't work as well as buying starbucks coffee and snacks when trying to cheer up a person.

Lesson learnt. Good night.

I'm getting sick and tired of being Mr. Nice Guy.

2010-11-28T17:51:00.004+08:00

Caught these 2 movies in the past 2 weeks:

'Unstoppable' is pretty good while 'Bruce Lee, My Brother' is more like a documentary movie more than an action movie.

I've also attended Kexin's 21st Birthday last week. And her theme was 'Hello Kitty'. The following pictures says it all:

Will update soon, or should I not update anymore?

2010-11-21T15:23:00.003+08:00

I guessed I cared too much.

2010-11-16T17:18:00.005+08:00

It's been a million years since I've updated this empty space.

Some quite update, I've changed my vehicle. Good bye to my trusty old van:

And hello to my new car:

Been driving it for more than a month and it's been great except for the amount spent on fuel. It's like double the price of what I used to pay. Can't complain much since it's running on petrol instead of diesel.

Went to my friend's belated birthday BBQ party recently and had a great time eating and playing the Wii.

And his end state before I left:

It was a fun day as we went to ECP to skate/cycle before the party.

Well, I've come to the end of my post and would try to update more often. =)

2010-10-10T16:22:00.004+08:00

It's been awhile since I updated this space. Have been on budget mode recently and haven't been watching any movies lately.

However, been staying at home alot watching the Taiwan drama - "Down With Love".

I know that it's a super old show, but army boys where got time?

I've also managed to meet up with my OCS buddies and poly friends in the past few weeks.

Need to meet up with my other groups of friends too. And also not forgetting, an overseas trip!

2010-09-19T15:25:00.005+08:00

I miss my secondary school friends.
I miss my poly friends.
I miss my skating friends.
I miss my BMT mates.
I miss my OCS buddies.
I miss my baby.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I MISS GOING OVERSEAS!

2010-09-09T19:10:00.001+08:00

Well, it's been exactly a month since I last updated this white space.
Don't really have the time to update these days.
Too busy with "work".
Will try to update soon.

Oh wells.

2010-08-09T23:57:00.002+08:00

I've been rather lazy to update this space ever since the last post. No idea why. Anyway, been rather busy at work doing some stuff related to what I've learnt in school. This in one sense, is rather good because it will prepare me for my university once I ORD.

And these are the movies I've caught in the past few weeks:

'SALT' has a good storyline. It's worth the money for this movie. As for 'The Last Airbender 3D', the storyline is not too bad. However, there isn't much 3D effects. So, just watch the normal 2D would do.

And also, I've been watching the channel 5 drama - 'The Pupil' on xinMSN.

It's a pretty interesting show. Happened to watch it during my weekend duty last week and I've been rather interested in the show. Hence, I went to xinMSN and watched the entire series. However, the ending for this show is rather disappointing. Oh wells.

Time for me to sleep now. Tomorrow still need to wake up early for my morning run. But before I end this post:

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

2010-07-25T14:12:00.004+08:00

This week had been a rather boring week. Can't seemed to think of anything to do during the weekends. I guess it's because I've been booking out too much. LOL.

Caught these 2 movies this week:

"Despicable Me" is damn cute. I think everyone should watch it. "Sorcerer's Apprentice", on the other hand, isn't as good as what I expected. It has the usual happy ending which most Walt Disney's movies have. Oh wells.

Met up with my OCS friends, this weekend, at 'Pariss' for dinner and we spammed the seafood - oysters, prawns and crayfish. Quite worth it for $50. LOL.

Time for me to go for a run now. Will update soon!

2010-07-18T15:34:00.003+08:00

It's been awhile since I updated this space. Been rather busy for the past 2 weeks. Here are the movies I've caught in the last 2 weeks:

Been trying to watch movies on weekdays instead of weekends because I'm trying to save up. LOL.

Met up with my poly friends last night for Yee Kiat and Yong Qing's birthday celebration and I really enjoyed the gathering. Here are some pictures taken during the gathering. Credits to Chun Wei for the pictures.

I suddenly felt old during the gathering because we talked about topics on applying for HDB flats and even getting married. We also wondered what would happen if we met up again 10 years down the road. LOL.

Oh wells, time really passed fast. It's been 4 years since I've known them and I'm still glad that we would still find the time to meet up with each other. =)

Need to go do some stuff now. Will update soon!

2010-07-04T13:20:00.005+08:00

As promised, here are some of the pictures for my commissioning ball last week:

Had it at Marriott Hotel. It's a nice place to hold events like annual company dinner or even a wedding dinner.

Managed to watch 'Knight and Day' at Plaza Singapure, thanks to the last minute plan for a 'Skaters' Gathering'. It has been a damn long time since I sat near the HUGE screen to watch a movie. LOL.

Nonetheless, credits to Lucas and Lynn for this meet-up and movie session. =)

Anyways, I've been booking out on like a daily basis, so-much-so till I've no idea what to do when I get home. I guess I should go choose a few days to stay in camp in order to save more money. Oh wells.

2010-06-28T00:51:00.005+08:00

It's been one week since I've got commissioned. I'm still not used to people greeting me in the morning the moment I step into camp. I guess I'll slowly get used to it. LOL.

Movie-wise, these are the movies I've caught so far:

Had my commissioning ball this week too.
Pictures of it will be posted on the next post.

Before I forget, pictures of my commissioning parade are on this link. Will update soon!

2010-06-20T22:18:00.004+08:00

9 months of training. 90 minutes of fame.
It seems like it was yesterday when I first stepped into OCS.
Friendship forged for the last 9 months, will definitely last a life time.
Feeling happy, yet sad.

Anyway, here are some photos taken before my commissioning. These pictures were taken during our sword presentation ceremony.

Will update soon! =)

2010-06-12T10:08:00.001+08:00

1 more week to go!

2010-06-03T03:56:00.009+08:00

Oh wells, I've been too busy to update lately. Just in case you're wondering why am I updating this space in the middle of the week, I'm on MC.

Thailand trip was one great experience for me. The harsh weather was madness and of course, the drinking session accompanied by 'Jenny' shouting, "Number 24! White rice!". LOL.

Went to visit World War II Hellfire pass Museum, which is part of the Burma Death Railway and the Floating Market.

We also watched the "Crocodile Show" and the "Cobra Show" which was pretty interesting. Our last stop was at the "Big Sea" shopping centre which was like a huge "GIANT" in Thailand.

After coming back from Thailand, met up with my group of friends and went ice-skating.

And also, not forgetting to feast with my army mates at Kuishin Bo. The place is really great. Will be heading back there soon to feast, again.

As for movies, here are what I've caught so far:

'Prince of Persia" was great while 'The Abandoned' was damn lousy. So don't waste your money on the NC16 show, please. I guess from now onwards, I'll ban myself from wasting my money on NC16 movies. LOL.

Time for me to go to bed now. Will update soon!

16 more days to go for me. Have to endure.

2010-05-24T19:45:00.002+08:00

I'm finally back from Thailand!
Hopes this week goes well in camp.
Praying for the best now.

Will update soon!

2010-05-07T20:29:00.002+08:00

The few days of freedom has come to an end. Time for me to head to Thailand now. Hopefully everything would go smoothly for me and for my mates who are going with me.

Will update when I'm back!

2010-05-02T15:44:00.003+08:00

Watched 3 movies straight last night. 'Iron Man 2' and 'IP Man 2' with my army mates and then 'Iron Man 2' again with my friends. Madness.

Flying off to Thailand on Friday. Hopefully everything goes well there.

2010-04-24T02:45:00.003+08:00

Movies caught so far:

Watching movies every weekend is becoming a routine and it's starting to get boring. I need some new activities to spice up my life! Any suggestions people?

2010-04-04T12:57:00.004+08:00

Well, it's scary how time flies. Once again, it's that irritating time of the week and what's worse is that I'm having duty next weekend. Shucks.

A recap on what I've been doing for my good friday weekend:

Watched 3 movies
Played mahjong
Skated
Went shopping
Played badminton

And here are the movies I've caught for the past 2 weekends:

'How to train your dragon' is awesome. 'Rec 2' is like L4D in a movie which sucks if you have motion-sickness. 'Confucius' is rather boring if you're not a history lover. 'When in Rome' is pretty good.

So that's a very quick review on the movies I've watched for the past 2 weeks.

And I've also completed watching 'Hi My Sweetheart'.

Oh wells, shall find something else to watch soon. Any Taiwan dramas or Animes to recommend, anyone?

2010-03-21T17:04:00.001+08:00

3 more months to endure.

2010-03-07T15:24:00.004+08:00

So quickily, another weekend of mine is coming to an end. Oh wells.

Friday
I went to Turf City's Chong Pang to have steamboat for my "mid-course" gathering as many of my friends are going to be separated for like 7 weeks. According to my friends, this is the steamboat which was used to be at Marina Bay. Nonetheless, this place is quite 'ulu' and I doubt it is worth the trip for those who live in the East unless you're going Turf City for seafood.

After the dinner, I rushed home to change and headed out to spend the last hour of somebody's birthday. Surprised that person at the entrance of Iliuma before heading to ToponeKTV.

Don't be fooled by Topone's website. I had a rather bad experience. Bad service, smelly room, kind of pricey and they sold fake Martell. Wasted quite a bit of money that night. Shall not head back there to sing K already.

Saturday
Woke up to do my army 'e-learning'. Then went to take a nap till around 3pm before spending my day watching 'Hi My Sweetheart'.

Anyone has the full serial on their hard-disk or anything. I would love to get a copy. Thanks in advance!

After watching a few episodes, headed to Kallang to catch the movie 'Wolfman'.

The show was quite okay with the unexpected twist at the end. Went to the ice-rink to find the rest and I managed to skate a few rounds. It's been awhile since I've ice-skated. Shall find a day and head there to sweat it out in the rink.

Headed to Katong's Punggol Nasi Lemak to have a quick supper before going over to Sky's place to play mahjong on his newly bought tiles and expensive chips. I've been losing at mahjong this year and maybe it's a sign telling me not to gamble? LOL. Shall play a few more times before I'll make a decision whether to play or not till next year. LOL

Time for me to prepare my stuff now. Got tests and shit to study for. Haiz, even out of school also need to study. Where's the justice?

2010-02-27T21:31:00.004+08:00

This is going to be a quick post, because I need to head back to camp in like half an hour or so. Nonetheless, I still managed to catch a quick movie - 'Valentines Day'.

The movie is not too bad. Worth the money to go catch it. Watch it with someone if possible, preferably somebody of the opposite gender. =)

Time to book-in now. Will update soon!

2010-02-21T13:01:00.004+08:00

The weekends always seems short and would pass by quickly. It's that time and day of the week again which all NSF hates, book-in day.

Anyway, I lost quite a lot at gambling this weekend at somebody's place. Oh wells, I guess it's just part and parcel of gambling during the CNY.

Had my ETI platoon outing/lunch at SHOKUDO and this was what I had before we 'lau yu sheng'.

Went home after lunch to rest for awhile before heading out to ECP to meet Sky for dinner and movie. And unexpected twist of event brought us to Zac's place to 'lau yu sheng' with his family before we catch our movie, 'Little Big Soldier'.

The movie was rather good except for the ending. Somehow, the movie endings these days are kinda sucky. Still got quite a few more shows to watch before I clear everything on the chart.

Time for me to go pack my stuff now. Will update soon!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Haven't been blogging much due to the lack of time. My new camp is killing me. Now I've got homework to do on weekends. Sucks thingy.

Anway, I managed to catch these few movies during the past 2 weeks:

I've also made very good use of this Chinese New Year break to meet up with loads of my friends. It's good to catch up with them after not seeing them for a long time.

Time for me to return to do my 'homework' now. Will try to update soon! May everyone have a prosperous chinese new year! =)

2010-01-31T10:54:00.004+08:00

Movies caught for the past 2 weeks:

Was busy for the past two weeks and didn't really have much time to update. I'm starting to get used to my new camp. Everything have been going well so far except for my test scores. I also did my first ever guard duty last week and a second one the day before. Oh wells.

Time for me to go do my work now. Will update soon!

I hate it whenever it is book-in day.

2010-01-17T17:06:00.002+08:00

Well well. Let's see. Brunei was really a once in a lifetime experience. Can't elaborate much on my training as it is confidential. But the country there is like a mix of Singapore and Malaysia. In short, it's a Muslim country with loads of gold and it's not really an ideal holiday place as there isn't any night life there except for the weirdest insects which comes and accompany you.

Anyway, I'm being posted to my new camp and things have been rather good so far. Hopefully, it stays this way. And I caught these 2 movies:

'The Fourth Kind' is rather interesting and shocking as it is based on a true story while 'The Spy Next Door' is a really must watch because it's a truckload of action and humour.

Other than that, my weeked is rather short as most of my time is spent packing. Oh wells. Will update soon!

2010-01-13T22:37:00.000+08:00

I SURVIVED BRUNEI!

2010-01-03T21:14:00.002+08:00

I'm heading to Brunei in like a few hours time. Dread this stupid feeling. Anyway, I managed to catch these 2 movies before flying off.

Will update soon after the trip.

2009-12-31T13:12:00.018+08:00

It seems like the year 2009 is coming to an end now. Firstly, a quick update on what I was doing for the past week:

Caught the movie 'Alvin and the Chipmunks 2'
Played mahjong
Went to sing K
Met up with my campmates for dinner
Took a yucky medication that made me felt damn sick

Yup, that was what I did for my block leave. With 2009 coming to an end, that means that my 'civilian term break' is also coming to an end and I'm heading for Brunei soon. Damn.

2009 had passed rather quickily thanks to me spending the first half of the year slacking and the second half of the year in the army. So here are some pictures that would recap the key events I had for 2009:

Japan Trip
TP GraduationTaiwan Trip
Primary School Meet-up
Fishing Trip
Secondary School Meet-up
BMT
POP
BMT-mates Meet-up
OCS Social Night

These few pictures sums what happened to me for the past 1 year. And also not forgetting this picture:

I bet this is the picture that most of those buggers out there wants to see, especially my BMT and poly mates. So there you go people.

With this, I shall end my post and wish everyone out there to have a good year ahead.

Happy Advance New Year Peepz!!!

The damage is already done. So the only thing I could do now is to reduce it.

2009-12-25T07:32:00.004+08:00

First and foremost:

MERRY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!

Anyway, I'm on leave till like the new year. Woots! And I've already caught the movie 'Sherlock Holmes' with Xiaozhu and gang.

It's a good movie, but you need to pay attention to what they are saying. If not, you be kinda of lost due to the level of English language used.

Time for me to go enjoy my block leave. Will update soon!

2009-12-20T17:11:00.006+08:00

Well well well. It's been a long time since I touched this place. Had been busy for the past few weeks with my fieldcamp and stuff. Even on weekends, it's been filled with activities like watching movies and catching up with old friends at Lynn's 21st birthday party.

Here are some of the movies I've caught so far:

And also, I had sort of like a farewell dinner at 'The Legends'. Here are some pictures from that night:

Time for me to head back to spend my last few days in OCS camp now. Will update soon!

2009-12-06T08:12:00.006+08:00

I'm feeling freaking shag after a long and tiring week in camp. The finale that signifies the end of the week is a long day of live firing(where it rained mid-way and everybody's boots were drenched till at least the ankle-height) was the weapon maintenance till 5am before booking out.

On top of that, this week's book out isn't really considered a book out. It's more like like a day's out. LOL. Anyway, time for me to take a short nap before I allocate my precious day's out to do the stuff that I missed out for the entire week.

Will update soon as hell is awaiting for me in the jungle for this coming week. So enjoy these few videos below:

2009-11-29T12:19:00.008+08:00

This weekend had really been a blast for me. Caught the movie, "Case 39" like 2 hours after I booked out on Thursday night.

Not a bad movie, quite worth to watch for an NC16 show. LOL.

Then had my OCS section mate's, Yong Long, 21st birthday on Friday. After the birthday celebration, I headed down to ECP to meet the rest and we decided to head to Grace's place to chill/slack for the rest of the night.

I then managed to sleep for 2 hours before heading out to the hockey court on Saturday morning. Upon reaching there, I declared myself as too tired and walked to TM to buy some stuff for camp. After that, went home to rest before heading out again to have Jian Guo's birthday dinner at Raffles City.

The night was then busy for me after the dinner as I accompanied KOA to boat quay to drink before heading over to Phuture to find my BMT mates. It's been a long time since I met them and I really missed those times we had in BMT together.

Stayed at Phuture till about 2am before heading over to Grace's place for another drinking session till morning. Slept till like 10am before heading home to type this entry.

Pictures on the parties that I've attended are still with the birthday boys, so I'll upload them up as soon as I managed to grab hold of any of them. Till then, I'll update soon! =)

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TO YONG LONG & JIAN GUO!!!

Whatever happened, happened too quickly. All I can say now is that it's a new beginning for everyone.

2009-11-21T14:28:00.002+08:00

Just got home from my camp. After spending 10 days out in the jungle and another 3 days in camp, I'm going a little bonkers already. I need my freedom!!!

And the worse part is, I have to book in earlier tomorrow because I was 9 seconds short of getting a gold for my IPPT. Damn!

Shall not waste more time here, time for me to head out and enjoy my "weekend".

2009-11-08T16:44:00.005+08:00

The 1 day of freedom is pretty well spent. Headed out to ECP to skate. It's been awhile since I skated. And surprisingly, I could still slide. After skating, went to Zen for our dinner/supper. 2LT Fok took these pictures with my phone:

We then headed to Cine to watch the movie, "Paranormal Activities".

The movie wasn't too bad, except that it's kinda boring during whatever happens during the day. And for those who have motion-sickness, this show might not be the type of show you'd like as the camera moves alot.

Anyway, time for me to pack up and head to the jungle. Will update soon when I get back, if I have the time.

2009-11-07T15:46:00.002+08:00

It's been almost a month since I've touched this blog. So in the past 3 weeks, I've been watching movies almost on a weekly basis. But nothing nice is showing lately. Oh wells.

Had quite an enjoyable time for the past 3 weeks, because I was playing around with different weapons. Something which I doubt I would get the chance to play with those "toys" unless I'm like super rich or something.

However, this week has been a rather bad week for me. Shall not elaborate much on what happened. Next week is my fieldcamp, and the thing I hate about fieldcamp is the jungle. Oh wells, all I can do now is suck thumb.

Time for me to go enjoy my 1 day of freedom, before heading to the irritating jungle tomorrow. Will update soon!

2009-10-18T16:33:00.004+08:00

So soon, another week had passed. The weekends do always seems short. In just a blink of an eye, my 2 days of freedom is up.

This weekend was pretty awesome. Watched the movie, "The Hurt Locker", on Friday night.

The movie is about the US army and this crazy soldier who went around diffusing bombs using funny methods. From his way of doing things, I conclude that the soldier is either from the Commandos or Guards. LOL.

Went to celebrate Bong's birthday at Happy Pot at Marina Square before heading over to St. James on Saturday. St. James was a blast because I managed to catch up with many different friends there. And also, this was the first time I got drunk and puke just on beer. I guess it must be me not used to drinking so much beer. Need to train up already, if I got the time and money that is. Just kidding. But I guess I won't be drinking that much already because firstly, I won't have that much time out and also I want to start saving money. I've been spending loads of money recently. Going broke soon. Oh wells.

Time for me to pack my stuff already. Will update soon!

2009-10-08T20:57:00.000+08:00

Just got my first bookout after being stuck in camp for 3 weeks. It feels great being at home again. The past 3 weeks were pretty interesting as I managed to discover loads of things which I do not know I could do. For example, running for long distances up to almost 8km.

Nonetheless, I've missed out a lot of fun and parties for the past 3 weeks too. So to those whose birthday parties I didn't attend - a very happy belated birthday to you and sorry for not being able to attend.

Oh wells, time for me to go catch up on the animes that I've missed. Hopefully, get to meet up with a few friends that I haven't seen for weeks later on.

2009-09-19T17:34:00.009+08:00

It's been almost a week since I've updated this dusty place. Well, I was away to Batam for a short getaway trip. Went there for massage and ate loads of good food.

I guess the weight that I've lost during my BMT had been gained back. Damn.

Anyway, this is where I'm posted to:

Will update soon!

2009-09-13T14:46:00.005+08:00

Been having loads of fun since I had my block leave. I'm going to do a quick update:

090909

POP day!
Went home to change and headed to Teo Heng with the ICians

100909

Went to Orchard ION with part I, Quanyang, Grace and Shihui
Had Fish & Co. for dinner
Went down to Arab Street to meet my platoon-mates for sheesha session and to celebrate Chow's and Ibrahim's birthday
Went to part I's place for mahjong session

110909

Went to ECP to skate
Had supper at Punggol Nasi Lemak

120909

Went ice-skating at Kallang

That's pretty much sums up my activities for the past few days. Will update soon! =)

2009-09-09T20:39:00.004+08:00

POP LO! NO MORE CHAO RECRUIT!

I'm done with my BMT! It's a really great achievement to be able to finish the 24km route march before going for my graduation parade/passing out parade.

More pictures can be found at the following link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=109781&id=617656172&l=8a6489114c

Will update soon!

Blogger is having PMS again, hence only one picture in this post. -.-

2009-09-06T15:35:00.002+08:00

Oh wells, it's that day of the week again which most of us NSF dreads - book in day. Well, this weekend has been pretty well spent catching up with friends at St. James on Friday and ECP on Saturday. I've also watched the movie, 'G-Force'. The movie was cute and good. LOL.

And here are some overdued pictures from Sei Cheong's birthday celebration at Vivocity:

Time for me to go pack my stuff now. Will update soon!

3 more days to POP
4 more days to Javier's enlistment
6 more days to Sky's commissioning

2009-08-29T20:09:00.003+08:00

Just woke up from my nap. LOL. The past two weeks had been really fun and interesting for me because I had experienced loads of different stuff. Let me do a quick summary on what happened to me for the past 2 weeks:

Took MC for the first time in camp
Wanted to watch movie with my friends and realized that they had already watched it
Passed my IPPT and got Silver
Managed to get my fastest time for my 2.4km run in my 21 years of life
Seen a shooting star (yes, I really did)
Went to play hockey after booking out at 8am
Went to have dinner with my poly friends to celebrate Sei Cheong's birthday
Went over to Yi Zhuang's place to celebrate her 21st birthday after having dinner with my poly friends
Passed my SOC course
Winning 2 volleyball matches in a row while representing my company
Acted in a skit which had a great ending with 2 of my platoon mates kissing each other on the lips for 5-10secs(yes, it's true)
Served my 3rd and final confinement(hopefully, it's my last)
Watched 'Where Got Ghost?' with my platoon mates
Went to REBEL with my commanders and platoon mates to watch some of them go crazy/wild
Slept for 2 hours and went to play hockey

Well, that's what pretty much happened to me for the past 2 weeks.

Blogger has been giving me problems for like a month already and I can't post any pictures. Oh wells. Time for me to eat my dinner before heading out. I wonder what's in for me tonight. Will update soon!

10 MORE DAYS TO POP!

2009-08-16T13:08:00.000+08:00

It's been 2 weeks since I last updated here. I've been so busy till I didn't really have the time to update. Let's start off with last week where I had my SITEST, where it would determine which place and rank I'll be at after I pass out from Tekong. So hopefully I could go to the vocation that I want.

Last week was also the national day week. So the minute I managed to book out, I went to watch the movie, "G.I Joe: Rise Of Cobra". And I also spent the national day playing mahjong which I lost $20 bucks. BLAH!

This week isn't any better. I got confined and can only book out later than others. However, it isn't really a bad thing to get confined because almost half of my platoon are with me. So we did really fun and crazy stuff. Getting confined is a great way to save money. LOL.

However, I still managed to spend some money when I booked out because it was Zac's birthday and I went to have dinner with him and Javier at Zen before heading to town to catch the movie, "The Proposal", with some IC-ians. We actually wanted to watch Jack Neo's "Where Got Ghost?" but the seats were like fully booked. Even for the 4am show. I guess this proves how popular Jack Neo's movie are, huh?

Anyway, this week was only my first week of confinement, I have at least another or 2 more confinement(s) to serve. And I'm getting confined for stupid reasons like forgetting to bring something. Oh wells, I guess these confinements would remind me not to forget to bring anything in the future.

Will update soon! Need to pack my stuff to go back to Tekong already.

2009-08-01T15:37:00.002+08:00

Had my fieldcamp this week and I really had an interesting experience of sleeping and being naked in the thick jungle/plantation. The best part is I lost 2 inches when I got back from fieldcamp. So ladies, if you want to lose weight, do come to the army and participate in the fieldcamp. LOL.

And I found this when I got home:

Woots! Time for me to get a table and soon I'll be gathering people over to my place for a game of mahjong when I book out.

I've also managed to finished 1 season of the anime, 'Major'. There's still 1 more season before I complete watching this anime.

So that's all for my week. Will update soon. Need to pack some stuff and finish 2 reports. -.-

2009-07-25T15:39:00.000+08:00

Need to head back to Tekong soon. Having my fieldcamp this week. So by the end of next week, I'll be smelly like hell. Anyway, here's a few videos to watch while this blog is staying stagnant:

Enjoy!

2009-07-18T11:59:00.007+08:00

I just got out of camp and I have like less than 28 hours till I need to be in camp. Had a pretty rough week and I might be facing a confinement/charge because of a mistake which a few of my friends and I had made. Hopefully, the officers could let us off with a warning if possible. Shall not elaborated much about what happened.

Anyway here are the pictures from the birthdays' celebration and dinner last week:

Oh wells, I'm going to catch up on the animes episodes I've missed during the week while waiting for my dad to return me my van. Then would be heading out to enjoy my day out of Tekong. So before I sign off, here's a video to enjoy which describes about NS.

2009-07-12T16:11:00.005+08:00

4 more hours and I would be going back to Tekong. I haven't been blogging much since I got enlisted and I think that I should do a really good update on my life before I book in.

Well, just a little bit on my army life - a usual day starts around 4am-5am where I get up to wash up and make my bed(yes, I make my own bed). Then head down to fall in to do our morning exercises before having breakfast. After breakfast, we would head back to our bunks to clean before proceeding with our training for the day. The day would then end around 8pm where we would have our free time till around 10pm-11pm, depending on the officers'/sergeants' mood.

So that's about it for my army life. So quick update on what I've been doing since I booked out on Friday night.

So after I booked out, I headed home to shower and change before heading down to ECP to meet Sky. Met some friends which I haven't seen for awhile too. Then headed to Subway to have my supper with Steven, Eddy, Sky and Quan Yang. After supper, we had a last minute decision to catch the movie, 'ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS 3D' at Cathay.

The movie wasn't that bad. However, there wasn't really much 3D effects, which was kinda disappointing. After the movie, I went to Boat Quay with Sky to find Javier at Vouge. Met up with Javier for awhile before sending Sky home. Went home to watch my animes before sleeping. I managed to complete watching the anime, 'Toradora!'.

After completing watching the anime, I went to sleep. Slept till around 3pm and started watching 'Bleach' and 'Naruto'. Slacked till around 7pm before heading out to Wisma to meet up with my Poly classmates for Yee Kiat's and Yong Qing's birthday dinner. Had dinner at Ding Tai Feng. It's my first time there and the food was not too bad. After dinner, slacked around Wisma for awhile before heading over to the airport to send Mr. Officer Boy off. It will be after my fieldcamp when we meet again. Had no plans after sending Sky off, so I headed home to slack.

So that's all for my weekend. Time for me to go prepare my stuff to book in later. Will update in a week's time!

2009-07-04T00:29:00.005+08:00

It's my second bookout and I have nothing to do for tonight! BLAH!!!

Been doing loads of physical conditioning till my whole body is aching. I'm still wondering do I want to wake up early to go play hockey or just rest and slack around tomorrow. Hmm...

Anyway, I've got this video to share:

Enjoy!

2009-06-30T15:08:00.003+08:00

Been spending the past 2 nights out hanging around with friends & classmates. Now it's time for me to pack my stuff so that I could book-in in a few hours time. Oh wells.

But before I forget,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN!

2009-06-28T19:33:00.000+08:00

I just booked out. NS life had been fun so far. The only thing that sucks is that I'm a botak. -.-

Need to do some stuff. Would update when I have the time. =)

2009-06-16T09:59:00.001+08:00

Thanks for all those for who accompanied me for the last week of my freedom.

So I'm off to NS now.

Will update when I get back. Ciaos!

2009-06-12T06:04:00.008+08:00

Just got home from watching the movie "Drag Me to Hell".

It's not bad, worth the $6 to scare yourself. LOL. Anyway, the new iPhone 3GS is coming out. And I really want one. Apple had made loads of improvement on this phone compared to the previous iPhone 3G. Watch this to get a better information on what new features that are available:

2009-06-11T05:36:00.003+08:00

Last week of my freedom before going for a free 2 years gym membership plus accommodation from the government. Everything is not going well.

-Van sent for servicing and it's not back yet
-Internet speed suddenly slowed down ALOT
-Been spending lots of money
-Fell sick

How bad can it get?

Zouk/Phuture sucks. I'll never go there again unless it's for a really important event such as birthdays. And stupid indian prata place opposite Zouk/Phuture is a scam. No plain prata on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. WTHELL? The service is bad and they charge damn expensive. For example:

1 egg prata + 1 ice milo = $3

WTHELL? St. James and Butterfactory is like 100 times better than Zouk/Phuture. Period.

2009-06-09T00:22:00.004+08:00

Well time for me to do an update on my sad life. I just finished watching the Hong Kong drama that Shawn's mummy passed to me, <原來愛上賊>.

It's quite a good show. And after watching it, I realized that most Hong Kong shows are all based on police stories. LOL.

I've also caught the movie, 'Blood: The Last Vampire' with Wilson, Javier and some other friends.

The movie is pretty crappy. However, someone said that the anime's version is better. So I guess I'll be spending my days watching the anime until I get my van back/get enlisted.

So I'll go watch the anime now. Will update soon!

2009-06-05T18:22:00.003+08:00

Was bored and I decided to do the quiz on Lynn's blog. And here's my result:

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Pretty true to a certain extend. Here's the link for the quiz:
http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Have fun doing!

2009-06-04T14:56:00.003+08:00

12 more days of freedom left

After some time, I get numb from hearing your name and seeing your face.
It doesn't really matter as much to me as before.

2009-06-03T18:13:00.003+08:00

My vehicle is sent to the workshop for servicing. So I guess I won't be heading out much for the next few days. So here's a summary of what I've been doing for the past few days:

-Watched 'Terminator Salvation'
-Went out to skate
-Went drinking at Boat Quay
-Made new friends
-Had mahjong session

So that's about it. Will update more soon. =)

2009-06-01T15:11:00.017+08:00

Photos from my Taiwan trip as promised. Here are a small portion of the 180 pictures I took there. It pretty much summarises where I went, what I did and what I ate over there. So enjoy!

More pictures can be found on these links:
-Album 1
-Album 2
-Album 3.

The trip was fun, it would have been better if it was for a week. And oh, here's a short video of a street performer performing on the streets of Taipei:

So that's all for my trip. Time for my to do some shopping for my army stuff. Will update soon!

2009-05-31T12:24:00.004+08:00

I'm back from my MIA status. Just in case you're wondering where I MIA-ed to, it's to the land of good food and hot girls. Taiwan.

Will update with more pictures soon. Stay tuned.

2009-05-25T23:11:00.003+08:00

Had a totally bad day today. Don't feel like elaborating.

Gonna make myself MIA. So I won't be updating anytime soon. Neither could anyone contact me via HP or email.

But before I do so, I would like to wish my dear cousin, Elaine, a...

VERY HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!

*GONE*

2009-05-23T05:20:00.001+08:00

Just got home from Clinton's early 21st birthday celebration/class gathering/GMSS gathering. Feeling fat from all the stuff I ate there.

Need to go for hockey when I get up to burn the fats. So good night now.

2009-05-19T23:04:00.010+08:00

Just had my graduation today. Everything would be perfect if not for my stupid pimples. -.-

Oh wells, I guess I'll let the pictures do the talking:

WE HAVE OFFICIALLY GRADUATED!!! =D

And more pictures can be found on my facebook. However, there are still loads of pictures which have yet to be uploaded/tagged. =)

2009-05-18T21:05:00.001+08:00

2009-05-17T19:45:00.009+08:00

I just woke up. -.-

Anyway, I went to NUS for a luncheon and briefing yesterday morning and met a few of my friends there. So at least I know that I have friends there when I return to study at NUS 2 years later.

After the luncheon, I went home to take a short nap before heading out again to have a primary 4 class gathering at our form teacher's house. We had a great time catching up after 11 years of not meeting each other. And this only happened because of this picture on facebook:

We had hundred over comments on this picture before we decided to meet up to have a gathering. So here are some pictures we took at Mrs Tam's house:

Even though only like a quarter of the class attended, we had a great time. And before we left, the little princess was throwing a tantrum because she doesn't want to take her medicine.

Sent Natalie to the airport because I was heading there too. Dropped her off at T1 before I headed to T2 to send our Mr Officer boy, Sky, off to Brunei. I was there early, so I headed to the viewing gallery to slack/stone/wait. And the view gallery was a place for people to sleep! Here's a picture of a guy sleeping opposite me:

And the guy was snoring damn loud, which made feel like sleeping. Then a group of people came and made so much noise that the guy woke up. I could not stand the noise generated by the group of people and I went down to the bookshop to read some books. Not long after, Sky reached and I went to met him. Javier and Gavin came too. So we accompanied Sky and his parents until about 12.30am before we left to fish. Fished till 8am this morning before going home. So here are some pictures before we left Bedok Jetty:

So I think this explains why I just woke up. LOL

I'm going ECP to burn some fats already. Will update soon!

Just got home from fishing with Javier and Gavin.

And my trip to Taiwan is cancelled thanks to swine flu. I'm finding some other nice places to go which are not too costly. Any recommendations?

Time for me to rest now, my body clock is like totally tuned to the US timings. Will upload pictures of my fishing trips at the Bedok jetty soon!
