A little something random...

... to clear my head as I'm studying.

YUIの新しいアルブム…きたぁぁぁぁ！

My current desktops, on Windows Vista:

and on Linux Ubuntu:

For the peeps that didn't know, I'm running a dualboot system on my laptop.

A few people have asked why. I guess I can say that Linux's really better and all that but in all seriousness, I did it for curiosity sake. I wanted to see how running a different OS is like.

Well, I can say now that it's really really different from Windows. And it's not very user-friendly - in terms of whether my mum or even my bros can actually use it.

Exempli gratia:

"Amos, where's C drive?"

"There's no such thing."

"What?"

"There's no C drive, there's only root."

"Huh?"

"Yup."

"I want windows back."

WARNING: Technical Stuff
After installing Ubuntu,

1. I noobishly destroyed my Master Boot Record. Windows wouldn't boot ("Invalid File Partition", GASP!), neither would Ubuntu ("GRUB was missing").

2. I screwed up Ubuntu (Ubuntu wouldn't boot) a few times while trying to get all my tablet functions working.

3. I screwed up Ubuntu while trying to get Chinese fonts to display correctly. Yes, dammit. It was ONLY FONTS!

4. I still cannot fix the suspend and hibernate functions on Ubuntu. Probably 'cause there's incompatibility with my lao ya graphics chipset.

I've managed to fix most of the above problems with hours of reading and great help from the Ubuntu online community.

Now, I'm waiting for Ubuntu 8.04 to come out in the next week or so. Apparently they've managed to get Ubuntu running with my graphics chipset.

Phew... What was my major again?

dying..

Feelin horrible now.. Been down with this fever, flu and sore throat since last night.. and till now the fever is still coming on and off.. took medication and sleep.. wake up to take medication den go back to slp..

even my appetite's totally crushed.. haven eaten anything the whole day except a small bun, a glass of milk and a can of tiger beer.. and now i'm picking at my dinner..

wad a time to fall sick.. the exams are juz round the corner...and my revision's like way behind time.. wad am i going to do now..

i'm dying...

Alan.

考试又要来了。。时间过的真快。。 一个学期这样就要过了。。这也说我在国大过了一年了。

我想因为我们三位剑客在上学期成绩不是很理想，因此这学期我们都得要更加的用工。。
希望我们 ‘尖头计划’成功！！

近来身子是越来越弱了。。老毛病一直复发。。

送大家一首歌吧

Things to look forward to...

First off:

I've recently bought something...

It's red and black and needless to say...

It is awesome...

BEHOLD >:)

うらやましい？

Second off:

...there's YUI's new album coming out too.

４月９日に発売！ほしい。。。

Hokays, that's all I have to report.

Jiam Tao の為に！

転がってでも 前に行けば 景色が変わるから*

During yet another Jiam Tao session, I was blasting music into my already aging ears (I can no longer hear the mosquito ringtone T.T) when I heard this phrase from the song JOURNEY by Yuna Itou.

It was sort of inspiring. After all, the exams are approaching soon (2 weeks?) and yet I'm still struggling.

Anyways, to all brothers, chiong for JIAM TAO~!

*If you stumble but still keep going forward, the view will eventually change.

whats the point when you don't listen

SIGH!!!

Another weekend has passed me by..
what have i done? nothing..
The workload juz piles up on my table.. getting higher and higher by the day.. and i'm fast losing determination to go on in this semester..

Really thankful for my mid term grades.. they're like positive reinforcements.. if not i might have already given up this fight.. i'm also thankful for LSM JiamTao Society..

And here.. ending off with a song again..

再次陷入认识你之前那黑暗， 生命的记事本写到了空白。
在生活迷宫里走失了， 失去了你。
我只能哭着
一个人哭着


杰伦

p.s. dun bother tryin to recognise wad song is it.. you'll never recognise it.. trust me..

C because B came before it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

printf("         (__)\n");
printf("         (oo)\n");
printf("  /-------\\/\n");
printf(" / |  %%%% ||\n");
printf("*  ||----||\n");
printf("   \"\"    \"\"\n");

do {

fflush(stdin);
printf("Are you a Cow? (y/n) ");
scanf("%c", &ans);
ans = toupper(ans);

} while (ans != 'Y');

printf("\nThank you for participating in something lame brought to you by yours truly.\n");

system("PAUSE");

House Publication No. 1

Just some updates on the ongoing and upcoming activities.

1. Dim Sum Showdown
A suitable place has not been decided as of yet. Do bear with it in the meantime. Our members are currently engaged in warfare with mid-terms and will be back from the frontline shortly after. We would like to wish each and everyone of them the very best.

2. Jiam Tao Department (NEW!)
Unclear at the time of the interview, a new department will be formed within the sect. Formed with the intention of achieving Jiam Taos, and in a bid to turn the tide of war against the foes. Department activities include extensive late night research into 'Art of War' styled books as well as 'know your foes tatics' related material. Interested members may apply.

3. Current Member Line Up
In view of our increased membership after recruitment last monsoon, the LS committee decided on a reorganisation of the organisation structure.

LS AMoS - Chairman
LS Alan - Vice Chairman and Wii Department Head
LS Nono - Honorary Advisor
LS FaBBy - Secretary and Publications Head

End of circular.

back...

...if only for a while. しばらくだね…

I can't help it. I know I know, "you're too old to be playing this", "dude, you're already 22"... yes I know. What does that all even mean anyway? Why is it that after a certain age, you have to suddenly graduate from 'having fun'? Isn't having fun something so fundamental, i.e. fun and mental?

*squawk, squawk, squawk...

Anyway, back to the point. The game's a great way to kill time and it has the 'best graphics' for an online game. '3D online mmorpgs' are seriously overrated in my opinion. The polygonal characters and with their equally polygonal equipments and polygonal world look as if they're trying too hard to be real. Until technology gets better, they should just leave the 3D graphics for offline games like CoD4*.

Well... I see that nice Santa list our dear 三弟 has come up with. I sort of want something like that too but my belief in Santa is sadly close to zero after too much wiki-ing.

So anyone with money to rejuvenate my belief in Santa? All you'd have to do is send me money ($$$, お金, 钱, cold hard cash) in an envelope addressed to me from Santa. Do this and I'll go round proclaiming my belief in Santa...

...that is well as long as the money doesn't run out.

*I was thinking, how about getting me this game for a start?

somethings are meant to be whispered in the ear..

Dear Santa,

you muz be real surprise to get a letter at this time of the year.. i've nvr written to u in my past 21 years.. Soooooo.. i'm hoping to 'order' my presents all at one go? reason why i'm writing to u this time of the year is cos i wanna avoid the heavy traffic during xmas season.. higher chance u'd get it and read it right..

well, i'll juz order 7 of the 21 u owe me alright? give u more time to process them... so nice of me right...

1. A new pair of spectacles
2. A new pair of shoes (white colour adidas plsssss)
3. A new computer
4. A new jacket (those with hoods and white as well?)
5. A new bag
6. Some Wii games
7. Another Wii controller

We dun have chimneys in this part of the world, so perhaps u can send over via courier? give those reindeers a break.. they deserve it..

Hope to hear from u soon..

Regards,
Alan

P.S. i'll send in my orders for the remainin 14 another time!

"So she's saying wads the problem baby...
Wads the problem i don't know well maybe i'm in love..."

It's a classic! Yup, still the best fit for our theme... everytime i hear it on radio, it feels all so nostalgic~

Hmm, i was thinking, when should we have the next makan showdown?

How about we change the theme to dim sum? Lolz!

Say after the mid terms, when we can find a reasonably priced dim sum buffet.

Wad say you guys?

P.S.
I'll be coming up with the current member line up and news letter for our LS sect soon (i welcome any comments). Stay tuned...

FaBBy

Long long ago......

Many many years ago(ok maybe not so many), there were 3 great swordsmen...
They helped the poor and needy.. fought against evil.. blah blah blah..(basically all the good things lah)..

One fine day, they happen to meet, under a durian tree.. And in the midst of the fallin durians, they became brudders..

There was Amos the Nocturnal Sword.. Always the hardest to find.. He is said to be seen sometimes on the net in the wee hours of the day(an owl they say).. Brimming with knowledge in all fields, he is the eldest of the 3...

Then there was Fabian the Good-Tempered Sword.. Man of kind nature, it is said no one has ever seen him in a bad mood (they also say those who did dun live to tell..)..his strokes are so neat, they compared them to the strokes of a computer.. Also said to have a stomach that's bigger than the universe

And there was Alan the Lucky Sword.. always seen challenging Fabian to a battle of the appetites but has yet to win a single battle.. there have been sightings, that when he goes into battle, Lady Luck herself is seen standing by his side..

A song can be heard in the background (dunno which guy's radio on so loud) as they became the 3 Lonely Swordsmen.... and the song......




It is said that if u're ever in trouble, juz turn and face the West and Shout "I AM CRAZY"..and the Swordsmen will come to ur rescue (u try lor.. no confirm ar..)

and the tales goes on.. about the many deeds the swordsmen did.......

恭喜发财

新的一年又来了。 在这里我先祝各位鼠年快乐，万事如意，也希望大家学业进步。

星期三没课的我，也因此这一个假期对我来说特别的长。哈哈。

好了，我要去打个 Wii 了！

新年快乐！！

Who want to watch KEVII Hallplay Production? Msg Me!

I'm getting desperate.

King Edward VII Hall Production

Yo people~ I'm selling tix for my hall production this year. Was hoping if any of you'd be interested. Anyway, the play is actually an adaption from a novel written by CS Lewis (remember chronicals of narnia?) titled 'Till We Have Faces'.

Personally i think it's a great play (I've read the novel myself too) and well... yup i was hoping that any of you might be interested. Maybe you would like to buy as a group so can get seats together...Tix selling at $13 and $15 dollars. Do let me know asap, so i can get the best seats available in the house. Do give me a call or drop me an sms if you got any questions yup? Alternatively, you can place the orders with Jun Kok too (Jun Kok, i think you will need to sell it too ya? :p )

Here are the details from my hall webbie:

HALLPLAY
Date: 1st, 2nd February 2008
Venue: University Cultural Centre

Fresh from last year’s stunning success, Hallplay is back once! From the same team that brought you “Letters from the Front Line”, they now present a story based on C.S. Lewis' interpretation of the original classical myth of Cupid and Psyche as written in Lucius Apuleius's 2nd century novel, The Golden Ass, Till We Have Faces. It tells the story of two princesses, the divinely beautiful Psyche, and the hideously ugly Orual. Orual, who loves Pysche so obsessively that it becomes possessive and harmful, finds to her dismay that Cupid, the God of Love himself, has taken Psyche away to be his wife, setting the troubled and embittered Orual on a path of moral development and self-discovery. A first rate production at any rate, fasten your seat belt for this upcoming smash hit!

Thanks a bunch! Do support Jun Kok and I!

这里好安静啊！ 好像已经没人到这里来了，作者或读者好像通通都消失了。

近月日子仿佛引擎加了turbo， 过的好快啊。 不愉快的日子好像特别的多，感情和学业上，我好像都有欠佳的成绩。一向任为自己运气很好的我，已经开始怀疑好运是否已离我而去。
似乎过了21岁的生日后， 我的运势是越来越遭。 还好我有一群好友，日子也因为了他们，没那么的难度过。

PIC II 也圆满地结束了， 希望有参加的人都骑地开心。

看了好几部电影， 都还不错， 但是我也发现口袋里的钱是寥寥无几了。

音乐和食物还是我生命里的主旋律。

“相要写一首简单的歌给你，让你知道你最珍贵， 和世界唯一的你，过着天使嫉妒的生活。手牵手去看彩虹，看那最长的电影。我会发着呆，然后忘记你，开着车一路向北，怒力的离开这爱情悬崖. "

University.

Ya... Whoever said university life was easier than in JC?

Examinations are fast approaching. And i have no confidence in my modules.

I call that 'jialat'

Hope you guys are not facing the same problem as me :p

Here's to our examinations! Cheers!

3 hours of sleep + 1 hour of soccer.....

Its been quite a long while since anyone posted anything here. I wonder if there are still people reading this little online space.

Got back my first mid-term test for my English Language Mod. 23/30. Seems to be a rather ok score until I found out that there are quite abit of people scoring better than that. Full marks are recorded as well. God knows which part of the bell curve I am in.

Had another mid-term last thursday. My South Asian Studies Mod. Its a strange feeling that when I look at my lecture notes, I more or less know everything there, but if you come up to me and ask me what I have studied, I can't say alot. Well there were 3 questions in the test. 2 short answer and 1 essay. Just as we were about to start the paper, the lectuerer suddenly just brought up that the SHORT answer should be about a page long, though not more than 2 page. And the essay? About 4 pages. So much for short answer, guess i should not have assumed that the short answer would be one two lines.
I kind of completed the paper but have no idea at all how I will fare. If I can just score a good grade........

Projects datelines are so near now. And I have only done the outline to my Political Science essay with all my readings behind time. Just to top it off I am falling sick thanks to my consistent lack of rest and unhealthy lifestyle.

Well, I am sure I am NOT the least bothered as well right er ge?

Alan

PS I am actually going back to WORK on Friday.

Houston I have a problem...

Arh.. 300 posts already..

It's been so long ago..

This is the first time i'm bloggin wth my laptop.. Haha.. well, nothing impressive about my laptop especially if u compare it to the laptops that my brudders use.

Well, tutorials have begun, work beginning to stream in.. Essays, readings, presentations, discussions.. Sigh..

Well I qua San Di wish my 2 brudders all the best.. And may our clan/sect prosper in all aspects... haha..

And i still can't tag on our tag board.. or dm's tag board or anyone's tag board for that matter...

And i'm having problem wth connectin to my home network using my laptop... IRRITATING!!

Alan a.k.a San Di..

300 Swordsmen

hahaha...

*in my best imitation of Leonidas's shouting*

SwwwwwwwworrrrrrrdsMEN!

I hereby humbly claim the 300th post.

Thank you very much.

Amos

For without which...

San di, I just learnt a new latin phrase after you showed me the word "qua".

So I'd like to say,

Family,
Friends,
Home,
School,

are the sine qua non

of Amos.

See ya.

Banana Milk

Hmm... How about we open it up to an application. Haha... As if we were some really big organization. Anyway, life is still good here in NUS. Just that i can't seem to understand the lectures. Hall life is fun too, going for late night suppers and stuff. Hope everybody is having a good time too.

By the way, the tagboard doesn't seem to be working. Anybody else has problems with it?

nOw ReCrUiTiNg??

2 days into lectures.

I went through the CNM lecture on Monday. It was more like a introduction to the lecturers and stuff like that. Had EL lecture this morning, where much was taught but I seriously doubt the amount of knowledge which my rusty brain was able to absorb. Tomorrow will be my first lecture for SE, which I heard was not exactly the easiest module to score. And as if that was not bad enough, I seem to be the only freak taking both SE (Southeast Asian Studies) and SN (South Asian Studies) in this semester. Amidst all this not-so-nice news, there was a piece of news which was not exactly all that bad: My NM Final Exam is MCQ. Though I am beginning to consider if perhaps open-ended questions might have made things easier for me.

Arts Bash is this Saturday but chances are I will not be going.

Recruitment Drive for The Lonely Swordsmen Clan? I thought this is on invitational basis only? Well, just make sure the new guy is straight and is worthy to be one of us.

Alan™
Venturing into unknown unknowns.

Choco Bananananana

Yup. I should be heading down for his b'day.

Lolz... Now that we are short of members, how bout we start a recruitment drive...? I got a candidate in mind... :p

tHe jOuRnEy bEgIns....

Its been quite awhile since I last blogged.

Tomorrow is the start of the lessons proper, though there are still no tutorials for this week.

O Week was great.. Though I was not there for 100% of the time, I still enjoyed O Week. I got to know alot of friends during this O Week, and I think that is the important thing for an orientation. Like what the house ICs always say: At the end of the day, what is important for this orientation, is not about winning, its about getting to know people, who will be the ones to go through the 3/4 years in NUS, so that you do not go to lectures all alone, or eat lunch alone. And I think this makes perfect sense to me.

Bidding was something new to everyone of us. The total freedom of choice of modules to bid for makes it all the more tougher for me to decide and choose the modules which I want to take in this first semester. In the end, I settled for 5 modules all from FASS. I shall not bore people by listing my modules one by one.

I managed to watch quite a few movies recently. The Simpsons was good. Though some may find it a little coarse, but what do you expect from the Simpsons? Then there was Jay's Secret. I actually find it quite good. The script was quite well done and Jay was fine in the movie. I watched Rushed Hour 3 with my OG people as well. Jackie and Chris are hilarious as usual.

Hope everyone is doing fine.
Brudders, going for Gary's birthday?
And so, the journey begins......

Well.. I am still alive.. been quite awhile since i blogged that's all..

So my brudders, how are u guys? been awhile since anyone posted anything here huh..

Work's ending.. tmrl's my last day at work.. Mixed feelings about that really..

QET comin up nxt week.. NUS FASS I'm joining.. Got a night cycling i hope to participate, a buffet where i hope to beat Er Ge.. and a dance concert to go to... hmm.. eventful week? we shall see...

Not sure if anyone still pass by here anymore..

Alan™ - wondering how on earth i'm gg to get by my uni days with no income...

Don't Feed The Monkeys

Somehow, blogger seems quite messed up recently. My blog is down. The posting interface is really weird. That's not very good yes?

Anyway, Been low on spending power lately. Due to the recent 21st birthday celebrations. Something unexpected when i decided to take a HUGE break this year. Kind of a wrong move.

Anyway, i think good movies are on their way. Spiderman 3 was good, and then there's a show with a Singapore Pirate... and stuff like that.

Looking forward to a g8 year my brudders!!

BP reads: 172/62 ...

Many birthdays in this month of April.. So Happy Birthday to whoever reads this and was born in the month of April...

Alot of nice songs... Here's one...

我用背叛自己
完成你的期盼
把手放开不问一句
当作最后一次对你的溺爱
冷冷清清淡淡今后都不管
只要你能愉快....

I've upgraded the blog to the new google format, so you have to register for a google account in order to sign in to blog. Not much of a difference though.

As always, keep smiling!

Tribute.. to my Grandfather..

Alright.. Not gg to write in chinese le.. dun wan ppl to say my post alot of wrong words...

Went for night soccer wth SHG and DW... Gd way to exercise.. if not everyday do admin job in air con office bound to grow even fatter...

On my way home juz now.. suddenly thought of my late grandfather...

It was so long ago..I was only in Pri 6.. I nvr got to see him one last time.. And i failed in my unspoken promise to him.. I was so young.. Every weekend when i visit my Grandparents, me and my cousins and brother would be anticipating his return from work.. Cos he'll give each of us a $10 bill juz for 'calling' him.. And then happily continue our games...

I regret not talkin more to him.. Not showing him more care.. concern and respect.. It came so suddenly.. And i have to be the one.. picking up the phone call that i would never never forget.. And then be the one.. breakin the news to my family... The pressure.. the stress.. the emotions were overwhelming.. i would never forget..

But no.. i din break down and cry.. my face was still... no emotions whatsoever.. The day he was cremated, i dropped a few tears.. I was young.. but i was a smart boy... i noe cryin won't help.. he always say i was a smart boy... he muz have had so much hope pinned on me.. i din live up to his expectations..

How different life would have been for me if he was still alive... And i'm sure it'll be in the positive way.. He was always able to pull the family together.. His words were always influential.. His words were golden.. And whenever he praises me, it was special...

But now... he can't praise me anymore.. And no other praises would have any effect near his... I miss him..

I juz wanna end off.. saying i love him.. Yeah.. i care.. i do... And i'm sorry...

Kiat Loong..

新加坡胜利了。。。
打败了泰国。。。

只要笑一笑， 没什么事过不了的。。真的吗？
我被微笑 Pasta 深深的迷住了。。。
那么天真可爱的女生，在真实世界里还存在吗？
那首北极星的眼泪， 好感人啊。。
好想要有这首歌。。
现实生活中，会有这种爱情故事吗？

有时候，有些事情，是不用说出来的。。。
那静静的沉默， 就是一种沟通方式。。
反而就因为对方一个字都不说，或是特意说反话，
会现得更加的明显。。。

。。林杰伦。。
我做错了吗？也许一开始我就错了。。。

下雨了， 刮起了大风，我继续走回家。
那小雨轻轻的打在我的身上，我也慢慢的陶醉在那伤心的歌曲中。
内心不禁感觉到好冷。是那刮风大雨，还是那伤心的曲子， 还是另有原因?

我自己也不知道。

如果你把每一天都当成你在这世上的最后一天，你会做什么呢？
有个人，他天天早上都会对着镜子，
然后对自己说：如果今天是我的最后一天，我会做我将做的事情吗？

好一段时间没再布络上写东西了。 开始作工以后在家里的时间少多了。经常加班，就为了能赚多一点的钱。
钱不是万能的，但没钱是万万不能的。

为什么我用中文写呢？因为是到了最近，我得到了‘高人’ 的帮助，我的电脑才能术写中文。兴血来朝，就决定用中文学啦。 也许会有很多错字，还请大家多多包含。

人说：天下无难事，只怕有心人。看来我是无心吧。 怎么好象那么多难事呢？

因为经常加班，然后睡眠又不足，应此身体似乎变的更弱， 更容易病了。病了真辛苦，连我最爱的食物都变得无味。
嗨。。。

生命中，我们会碰到不同的人，不同的事件。。 有的对你的生活有很大的影响， 有的却不知不觉地擦肩而过。 。
去年今日此门中， 人面桃花相印红。
人面不知何处去， 桃花已就笑春风。

New Year

~Happy New Year People~

Shifting?

Yo guys.

You should have noticed by now that blogger is pushing for the new google account blogger. Many many new features.

Any objections if i shift the blog over to google? That also means you have to get a google account in order to sign in. You can sign up after i shift the blog. Think the webby will prompt you to get the account.

Please let me know asap! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

And a great New Year!~

Ord loh?

hello doods.

Back again, for the fun and for the sake of relieving boredom. About the hiatus thing on my blog; I guess it's gonna be permanent. Can't really find a reason to return to regularly give people updates on my personal life plus, I'm really lazy. Sloth is my greatest sin I (and almost everyone else who know me) believe.

Now the answer to what makes this puny magic card so fearsome.



Notice that this dude is a 1/2. Meaning it has 2 toughness. Notice the first line in the text box - Double Strike. For the older players who only remember a "first strike", it works like a first strike PLUS a second attack. So in reality this 1/2 dood does 2 damage. 1 from first strike and the other from normal combat. Get it? Good... now for the other card.

Now this card happens to be a Boros* one as well. It kind of complements this dood but the cost is a little prohibitive (as all good cards usually are). This card, at the same time, is said to be rather broken (or imbalanced).

*One of the 10 guilds of Ravnica**
**One of the many worlds in Magic: The Gathering.

Check it out:



Ok, I understand it's very wordy. So I'll try to explain in very simple terms. The first line in the text box "Equipped creature gets +4/+0." is what makes this card combo so well with the other. Assuming this card is "equipped" onto the other creature, what we have now is a 5/2 monster. The number 5 is very scary in this instance because the dood has double strike. This means that pitting him against any other creatures with 5 toughness or less and no first or double strike, would guarantee you a very one-sided fight (that is to say, only his creature dies). Needless to say (but I'm going to anyway), any other creature lacking first or double strike with up to 10 life dies to this sucker.

Not blocking this dood make things even worse. Imagine losing half your life (assuming you had 20). Ouch.

The second paragraph in the text box is the "broken" part. It basically allows you to find almost any burn spells in your library (deck) and use it at the cost of only unequipping the creature and 1R1W (1 red mana and 1 white mana). This is also known as a "tutoring" ability due to the infamous "tutor" cards long ago.
Oh... and unlike enchantments, if the creature it is equipped to dies, it doesn't go to the graveyard along with the creature. It just simply unequips itself. So you could just equip it onto something else.

Off topic:
By the way, if you have nothing else to do, join me in mapling. =X

This is my char in maple with rudolph's nose:

Hahaha...

Well... until next time,

Have a Merry Merry Christmas all!

Signing off,

Rain Rain..

Been raining for so long.. A relief indeed to wake up this morning and see not rain.. hear not the storm.. but see a beautiful sun rising..

Went to town todae wth DM,Fab and JK.. Mainly for DM's Xmas's shopping.. but since we decided to have a gift exchange for Xmas, JK bought his as well.. Not gg to reveal wad is it of course.. haha...
After walking arnd the whole day.. we finally head back home after dinner..

By the time i reach home, i got a freaking headache.. In fact till now i'm still feelin it a little...
Went for bball wth Alf,JK,WK and DW.. wasn't feelin that gd.. tired of course from all the walking.. But the headache was killin me.. Its like a fire burning in my head..
And yeah hell hot headed i was during bball.. Off or On the court.. I juz feel like whacking every ball that comes in.. and bashing my way to the ring.. And yeah.. injured myself..
Elbowed WK in the mouth, lucky his teeth are still in tact.. But my elbow's bruise.. Right arm's bruise as well after getting hit.. Even my shoe wasn't spared as the heel of one of them decided its time to open mouth and 'talk'...

And it juz doesn't help that my chest pain has not gone away... Not totally.. It seems to be recovering.. Gettin better.. but its still there.. niggling pain that juz doesn't go away.. Worried i am.. but i'm givin it more time.. see if it can recover..

Well as the saying goes.. it never rain.. but it pours...

BUT.. wth all the pain, still.. a song:
That's What She Said - Backstreet Boys..

Check out the lyrics.. Its nice.. My all time fav Boyband.. BSB!!

Alan™ - pain all over me.. lets me noe i'm still alive...

S.H.A.G ??

Seems like almost everyone blogged about it already.. Haha.. Had a steamboat/BBQ dinner at DW's place last weekend (sat to be exact).. As JK has more 'beautifully' called it, the whole S.H.A.G (SengHou Affiliations Gang) was there... the 5 in SHG (SengHou Gang) and the 2 affiliations.. haha.. Yup.. we were all there..

Went shopping for food together.. And i'm proud to say that I, or rather, We managed to keep the costs lower than before.. And we also had enuf food to go arnd.. haha.. As mentioned by others, me too agree it was a fun time.. All the talkin cock.. all the foolish things we do.. And of course wth all the new handphones, pictures and videos were taken... the infamous DW one hand 'open egg'.. The mad butcher WK wth his chopper.. Manager KL wth his new signing.. And the golden-haired butch...Yup.. Got all that down in vids and pics...

This morning was so looking forward to bball.. For one reason or another... But sadly, the weather remained unmoved by our prayers and we were forced to cancelled it... Nvrm.. There is always nxt Sun.. Haha..

Well basically that's it for my weekend.. Oh.. I got Eragon le.. Haha.. Going to start reading this week..

And without fail, a song:
会有那么一天 - 林俊杰
an old song i noe..haha.. juz heard it recently..

Alan™ - unemployed and i dun buy 4D.. haha..

Hmmm.. ORD liao...

Well.. Now i'm 3SG(NS) Lim liao..The day i got my IC was a quiet day.. Juz went back to camp.. Headed to the admin office and picked up my IC.. Den went arnd a little.. Shook some hands.. Thanks to all those well wishes..

So now i'm unemployed.. Need to find a job..

I seem to have injured my back.. My lower back has been aching for the past few days.. Feeling very stiff.. Old liao lah.. Not even 21 my whole body already got problem here got problem there... here aching there aching..Sigh...

Nevertheless, i'm gg to try and exercise more... Play more bball.. haha.. Last Sun actually met girls again.. Though JK felt this new grp generally look better than the last, i still tink the last grp of girls we met were better looking..

And a song as usual:
請在我後悔之前離開我 - 飛輪海

Juz felt the lyrics to this song's nice as well..

Hmm.. Er Ge shd be back from his holiday already i tink... Haha..Though we still see no signs of him in the cyber world...

Maple-craze.. Dreaming...

Been spending time packing and cleaning my room.. Shifted the furnitures as well... Haha.. It was hard work.. alot of stuff to sort thru.. threw away lots of stuffs as well.. Found alot of interesting things like my Pri Sch Bus Pass, pictures of myself when i was in pri sch, some bdae cards i've gotten in the past.... and the list goes on.. things wth alot of sentimental value..

Left wth a little more packing to do for some drawers but i'm gg to leave it till another day.. todae will be purely relax.. ahaha...

Oh, started playin Maplestory again.. haha.. The game that i deserted some time back... But somehow, feel like playin it all of the sudden again.. Even managed to party wth Er Ge and whack some jumping pigs ystdae night.. haha.. i'm not the only one who plays maple aye.. Wasted our Da Ge not in the same server as us.. haha..

Rummaging thru all my stuff also unearthed some old cds.. Had difficulty tryin to name some familiar songs as i was ripping them into my com.. Haha..
Chanced upon this song that brought back quite abit of memories.. A very meaningful song:
Dreaming of You - Selena...

Alan™

Late at night when all the world is sleeping.. I stay up and think of you..
And i wish on a star.. that somewhere you are, thinking of me too.....

Io sono così incerto sul mio futuro

Yeah.. Io sono così incerto sul mio futuro..

I still remember, when i was a kid, gettin into a university seems to be like.. THE thing.. its like the finale to my education journey.. Get into a University and i'll be there.. as in.. i'll be 'there' already..
So considering all that i said above, shouldn't i feel happy like a lark when i get a letter telling me my place in Uni is confirmed? That a place has been reserved for me.. Then why is it, that i feel this uncertainty.. this lost feelin.. and not that happy feelin that i shd be gg thru??

Received a couple of letters from NUS todae.. telling me again, that my place in NUS FASS has being reserved, and in it, there are some forms to fill in.. To let them noe when i wanna matriculate and stuff.. and till now, i still dunno wad i wan.. I'm not even sure i wan to be in FASS... Ppl ask, haven u tot about wad u wan to do in uni/life? I did.. But there are no answers in this simple brain of mine.. Maybe i'm juz too dumb for all this studying and this is a sign for me to call it quits once and for all..

So many questions.. no answers..

Italian put: Io sono così incerto sul mio futuro..

Alan™

mEsSy LiFe..

Been spending alot of money AGAIN.. Sigh..
Life's in a mess.. Alot of things to be done and to be bothered about.. But i'm juz lazing arnd everyday.. Sitting in front of my computer.. Rotting away..

2 songs that has been playin in my mind recently:
蔡旻佑's 我可以 and 梁山伯与茱丽叶 by 卓文萱 & 曹格..

Let's talk about 蔡旻佑 first.. This boyish-looking boy is a player of both the violin and piano (as of now i only noe about this 2).. Introduced to the music world by none other than Jacky Wu (the one who brought us Jay Zhou) and said to be the next big thing.. He, like Jay, writes and compose songs as well.. Somehow he resembles David Tao to me..
The song 我可以 was written and composed by 蔡旻佑 himself.. A love song wth a catchy tune.. The MV to this song is really nice.. haha..

梁山伯与茱丽叶's written and composed by 曹格.. A very sweet duet indeed.. 曹格 as usual impresses me with his voice... The control of his 'jia ying' is really great.. But then again, alot of 曹格's songs, u'll hear him gg in and out of jia ying and zhen ying.. So, not surprising to hear so much use of jia ying in this song.. I've even heard him singing at A*Mei's key before.. Haha..
And of course he got himself a really great partner in 卓文萱.. Wth a pretty face and a sweet voice.. Haha..
The MV's nothing much.. U only see the 2 of them singing the song.. Standing arnd, sitting arnd.. Haha..

Well, looking at the previous 2 paragraphs, u'll noe how bored i am.. Haha..


Alan™

PS. I can't seem to tag on the tag board here.. Strange.. Anyway, who's "me" ?

Re: Final Fantasy...

Final Fantasy fever is here people!!

I've succumbed to the disease.

Not complaining though... Don't think you would too hor San Di...

Haha. Happy FF-ing! :)

Final Fantasy....

Yup.. Started playin the game Final Fantasy 7 on PC.. Been hearing about this RPG from secondary school days when JK can ramble for hours on funny names like Cloud and Tifa.. Since i got the time, so decided to give the game a go..

Well, so far i muz say it has a rather well written script.. Though the graphics is like TCMI.. But still, the gameplay and storyline makes up for it.. Dunno whether it'll be able to sustain my interest till the end of the game.. Only time can tell..
And so, its monster fighting, girls courting and travelling arnd the world...
Cloud's a lucky guy.. Haha..

Been playin alot of bball recently.. Morning or evening also have.. No its not because we're hoping to see the same grp of girls again.. Rather, its something which we can do and yet not spend money.. And i guess it also helps a little to keeping our lifestyle healthier..

And so for now, its like a holiday period for me.. Juz put aside everything and anything else.. University admission, future career, money, jobs, haze, bike lessons, camp.. and girls for the matter (seems like recent conversations wth my grp of frens usually can't avoid this topic)..

Off to take a hot shower, before continuing my adventure in FF7, then perhaps read a little of my book, before i call it a day, and start gg to my own Final Fantasy adventure in a faraway place.. Wth MY Tifa and Aeris.. Haha..

Alan™

This song is nice.. Listen out for the lyrics:
一个人的行李 - 戴佩妮

Yup.. As mentioned by DW and JK in their respective blogs, the post ystdae was a common post of all 3 of us.. A common blog post..

Managed to catch The Ghost Game at JK's place after bball cos DW bought the VCD.. Hmm..They started off rather well.. But the ending.. Well.. Perhaps to leave room for a second episode.. I dunno.. Haha.. Anyway, the effects are rather well done..

Work ystdae was as expected.. Nothing gained and earned after almost 2hrs.. Well.. As i mentioned, it was expected.. Anyway, not like i would have spent the time doing anything better.. Haha..

Todae stilll on off.. Though most of the rest seems to be back to camp.. Yawnz.. Probably juz gg to spend the time lazing away at home todae..

Tmrl's the only time i need to go back to camp for this whole week.. For now, back to one of my fav past time, listening to music doing juz about nothing..

Alan™

This song's melody is stuck in my head...
听妈妈的话 - 周杰倫

BBall Session...

Played bball this morning.. In less than half an hour after we started, 3 girls started playin ABC on our half of the court.. And soon, we were playin 3V3 wth them.. The game was full of laughter and jokes.. haha..

Unlike other girls, the 3 of them were really enthu bout the game.. The way they mark us is like, any tighter and they'll have to hug us.. Due to the fear of making too much body contact, we were rather reserve in the game.. But we still enjoyed the game and we all had a gd laugh..

We all agreed, that one of the girls actually looked like Hebe.. Lolz.. Wth her hair, dress sense, and her cute face, she really does resembles Hebe.. Woo!! Looks aside, she can play the game pretty well as well..

And the other girl reminds us of YanHan from ODAC.. We made a mental note to ask YanHan the nxt time we see her if she has a sister..

During our post-bball talk over brunch, we also wondered, wad kind of shampoo the girls used.. Maybe cos they were markin us real tight, but we could smell the shampoo on their hair.. And er... its kinda nice.. haha.. Well, that's how close they were to us when they defend..

The rain came in and we were forced to stop.. And so the session ends wth a hurried goodbye as we seek shelter.. But before we parted, we agreed to play again nxt weekend..

Its tata for now.. Till the bball session nxt sun..

Offs and Leaves...

Its Sun.. BUT, that does not mean i'm gg back to work tmrl.. Hooray.. My absence from camp will be until Tue, Wed being the startin of the workin week for me.. And guess wad, thurs is my last working day for the week.. Yeah.. Haha..

Well, juz wanna say a word of thanks to all those who send me their best wishes on my bdae.. Yup.. Thanks alot ppl..

Somehow, i manage to accidentally delete my save file for GTA San Andreas.. OMG!! Months of blood and sweat.. All the time i spent on the game.. Gone.. Juz lidat.. Sigh.. How stupid can i get.. Decided that i'll slowly start playin the game all over again.. Like Da Ge says.. Now that u've been thru it, this time it'll be faster.. Haha.. I hope so..

Juz had a bball session this morning.. The PSI's not really that high (70+).. So not that bad.. Though the weather was real hot somehow.. Or humid rather..
Juz now there was a passin shower.. Hope that helps to bring the haze away from our sunny little island.. Haha..

Nothing to do now.. or rather, can't get myself to do anything but waste the time away.. waiting for someone to initiate some brilliant plan later..haha..

退后 -周杰倫 is still the song in my head..

Alan™

3 days MC....

In case anyone's interested, i'm given 3 days MC.. Well, i was referred to TTSH A&E ystdae after i reported sick for sore eyes.. The MO juz wanted to be sure it wasn't anything serious.. So send me to see an eye specialist.. Got 3 days MC from the eye specialist lor..
Anyway, its much better already..

So bored at home.. can't go out since i'm on MC (furthermore its conjunctivitis, which is contagious).. Had been playin GTA San Andreas alot recently.. Rather violent game I muz admit.. Haha..
Courtesy of TYS, i also have Company of Heroes in my com.. Not bad.. My com can still handle the graphics.. Very realistic game and for those who like RTS games, i'll second TYS on his point: this game is something u wouldn't wanns miss...

As we come to the end of the year, all the guys are now lookin forward to one big thing.. ORD that is.. That also means, its time to get a job.. So gotta start searching..

I'm intending to 're-vamp' my room after i ORD or probably can get started before.. Its gg to be a budget one.. Juz wanna give my room a new look.. Anyone got lobang for cheap furnitures? (hmm.. usually i would rather be the one tellin ppl i got lobang.. Haha)...

Also made up my mind to get back to reading.. Been awhile since i've been reading.. Will start by finishin up The Broker..

Alan™

Song in my head: 退后 - 周杰倫
oh and Hebe is juz so sweet in the MV.. Hehe.. Shd check out the MV if ur can...

Boo!

Ok, I decided to be a little scary so here I am; materialised from nothingness.

After a long break (a hiatus I've said?), i'm still on a break. Don't bother taking a second look, you read that one right. I'm only here to give a little "boo", and maybe update a little on what's going on in my dismal NS life.

Nothing much to say about NS really. Only thing going right in there is that I'm going to "ORD LOH!" as they say. To say the least, I'm happy I'll be finally out of that infernal hellhole.

Other then that, it seems everyone's looking for/found a job and I'm the only bummer who's too lazy at the moment to think about one. Can someone help me?*Looks pleadingly at Fabian*

Oh, and I've finally got a hobby to spend money on. Most people won't understand this but I'm back into magic. No, I'm not talking about cheap parlour tricks. I'm talking about Magic: The Gathering also affectionately called "Magic" by the players.

I hear it coming. The sounds of disapproval and possibly disgust. But let me tell you now that I will have none of that. Magic is a respectable game. It is afterall the grandfather of all Trading Card Games. Nothing has surpassed it, gameplay or otherwise. It had me enthralled as a primary school kid, and it has that hold on me again. Especially so since I've the money to pursue that interest now.

Anyway, here's a card I particularly enjoy using. The art's nothing special and it looks rather weak but when used in conjunction with another card (I'll say what next time) it becomes an intimidating presence.



PS: Take care guys. Especially you, KL. Your constitution is particularly awful.

Yo... I'm here: CLICK ME

Sakura again....

First of all, welcome back Er Ge !! Haha.. Perhaps can meet up soon? Haha..

Went Sakura again todae.. The International Buffet.. This time went wth JK,KKK and Alvin.. Last time i went was wth my colleagues from camp.. That time went to the outlet in Clementi, this time went to the one in Donwtown East.. Seems like the one in Clementi have more variety of food to choose from.. Haha.. $26.. Ex siah.. But we really eat until damn full.. Haha..
So after dinner we went for a really long walk arnd.. Ending up at WhiteSands.. Wanted to go to Coffeebean to chill, but its gone.. Ended up buyin Nutritea, partly because of the girl sellin it.. haha..

On the bus todae, me and JK were seating in front of this Indian man.. Den that idiot started coughing.. And hell he din cover his mouth.. din even bother to turn his head, so me and JK could feel the wind in the back of our heads.. Freaking disgusted i was.. wad an a**hole.. Unable to stand him, we changed seats.. Grr... so damn pissed...

Todae's also the first time i wore contact lens.. Haha.. Took quite a long time to put them on.. Juz can't seem to get them to be 'stuck' in the eye.. The shop wanted to charge me $30 for consultation fee juz cos i was using it the first time.. That is juz crazy.. The lens only costs $15 lah.. So i told them no need for that, i'll juz take the lens.. Haha..

Whole body's aching from the basketball and soccer last 2 days..

Anyone interested in making investments? contact me ok... i'll give ur the details..

Song i singing along to: 退后 -周杰倫

An interesting quote from JK: " We've (refering to himself and TYS) been to heaven and back.. "

Yo~

Guess who's home :p

Training is over and O.R.D. is coming close!
Can anything else get better than that?
All that hard work and slogging for the past 2 years (almost)
And it's over!

So keep your head high and smile!

Sick...

Yeah.. Fell sick again..

This time seems worse though.. Fever was real bad last night.. Thank goodness its gone now.. at least for now..
Throat's still bad.. Can't really talk and swallow properly.. Flu's simply awful to have.. Was sneezing non stop during ystdae's dinner at Marina Bay wth ODACians.. Coughing so hard, my diaphragm (is that how u spell it? ) hurts..

Wanted to go the the private clinic to see a doc and get it over and done wth so i can come back and rest.. But no..Had to go to either the polyclinic or A&E as insisted by someone.. Grr.. So angry.. This is like somewhat unreasonable to me.. Nvrm.. Shall not talk about this anymore..

ODACians dinner ystdae turns out to have quite a Victorian 'feelin'.. Haha.. Din really eat much cos mt throat was already rather bad.. Fever was probably already building up considering how red and hot my face was.. Perhaps really shd not have went ystdae.. Dun even tink i ate my money's worth..

8 More Weeks To () . R . l) .

animals all over.. the zoo!!!

Went to the Zoo todae wth my Sis and Layee.. Long long time since i went to the zoo..Reached there bout 10am... Started a long walk in the zoo...

Saw alot of animals (duh)..
White Tiger was magnificant.. Otters were utterly cute.. Monkeys are juz all over the place.. Well, the Singapore Zoo has the largest collection of them in the whole world.. So wad do u expect? Lolz..

Snakes were beautiful.. If u ask me, the large python there is a beauty.. There have been claims that the African Anaconda can grow up to 12m.. But cos there has not been any solid evidence found, the python is still the longest snakes arnd.. But hell the African Anaconda can weigh alot.. 226kg is the record if i remember correctly..

Went by this post that read: " Great Lovers" .. Tink it was the lion's enclosure (correct me if i'm wrong).. Apparently they can mate every 15mins for 3 days continously.. i was like.. Whoa.. Haha..

Found this uncanny similarity between the polar bears and the otters in the way they swim.. They like to swim to a wall, then kick off the wall fallin backwards into the water.. And they swim in a fixed route.. Haha..

Still can't stand the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches.. Disgusting little stuff they are.. And a whole tank of them.. Sux..

Animals aside, i also found out that the zoom function for the camera is of utmost importance.. My hp apparently has zoom function only in video camera mode and not still camera mode.. Sian.. So some of the animals that are too far away i ended up taking videos of them..

Juz an advise for ppl gg to the Zoo.. Pls bring ur own water.. The bottle (500ml) drinks there costs $3.20 !!!.. Food as well.. The only thing there not ex is probably KFC..

Alan™

数到五答应我 -曹格..

PS. Layee can send me the close up pics of the animals? I dun have any close up at all.. lolz...

MC...K610i

Yup.. I was on MC the whole of todae.. But.. In actual fact, i only had half a day to rest... Why? Cos , the wait at the Polyclinic was so long, i spent from 9am to 12plus there.. Shd have known..

Spent the afternoon more or less 'slping'.. juz lazing arnd.. Doing nothing.. Lying on my bed.. den moving to my sofa.. den back to the bed again.. Felt gd.. Haha.. Its like a break from all the work.. Phew..

Gettin my new hp was kinda dumb a move... Because of the new hp, i'm left wth $9 till the nxt payday.. Cool huh.. Oh, +$5 WK juz gave me.. Its $14.. Nvrm... See how it goes.. Worse case scenario borrow money from my mum first..
Well, at least the hp's kinda nice..Haha.. Sony Ericsson K610i.. Got tired of Nokia.. And i din really wanna use Panasonic hps.. Cos Jay endorses it.. Not that i dun like him.. Juz dun wan ppl to tink i try and be like him.. Who ask him to be called jie lun also.. Haha..

Song I've been listening: 开场白 - 蔡依林

Wild Wild Wet.....

Went to Wild Wild Wet last weekend.. Its the kind of place where i go once to experience it.. and i'll probably not go again.. Haha.. Its like $14 lah.. Like not ex... Reason why we went there was because JK's cousins from Batam wanted to go there.. So we joined in.. However, on that day, we were really juz playin among ourselves.. Floating down the Shiok River was super relaxing.. Minus the overturning of floats and all.. haha...

Managed to catch a movie as well.. Tokyo Drift.. As expected the storyline was really like... Boring.. basically its juz the cars and the girls... Haha.. Japan and Taiwan are 2 places i really wanna go.. haha..
Oh.. because of Linda, i actually bought this month' s issue of FHM.. Haha.. She was the cover girl..

Lots of things have been happening at work as usual.. More ppl gettin into more trouble.. Can't wait to ORD really.. Need to find a job though...

Oh, i've got an investment lobang on hand.. Not confirm yet.. But interested ppl can contact me for details...

Song I'm in Love with: 我会好好过 - 李玖哲

Yesh... finally some rest after 7 weeks in camp...

It feels kinda crappy when you get stuck in camp for so many days especially in the fields when you know that there's a coupon-full of KFC meals waiting for you through the newspapers...

Dude... it kinda sucks...

Root beer is kinda good... especially after a really hot hot day...

Gotta get back tonight... perhaps a good KFC meal before that? :)

Movin!

Movies... Sakura....

Had been watchin quite a few movies this few days..

Hoodwinked was very funny with a very refreshing plot.. Kinda liked the songs in the movie.. Haha.. Cute characters as well...
I thought Lady In the Water had a very nice storyline.. Always liked this kind of stories..
Juz watched Click todae... Very hilarious movie wth touching moments.. Kinda reminded me that time is too precious to be wasted..

Sat gg to watch Long Hu Men.. And still got Tokyo Drift to watch at home...

Went for dinner at Sakura International buffet todae.. Quite a nice place.. Price was rather ex ($24 i paid) but there sure was variety.. Got S'pore's fried beehoon, japanese sushi sashimi,pizzas, laksa,fresh oysters,abalone.. etc... Had a great dinner... That place got a very nice view too ( its on top of a hill )...

Tmrl on off also.. Takin the chance of this 4 days break to relax myself.. And recuperate... Anyone any plans tmrl?? haha..

Alan™

KL's Top Hit: 小丑鱼 - 罗志祥

Human Nature is selfish...

Its a fact.. No argument bout it...
Everyone wants the best for themselves...Myself included... There's no wrong in that of course.. Its human nature...

Anyone watched Hoodwinked? Haha.. Its a rather nice show...

Well.. Its NDP 2006... Happy Birthday Singapore...

Song i'm listening to: Xing Fu De Tu Xing - 龚诗嘉

p.s. clock is kkk lah...

Fireworks !!!!

Another day spent for the nation.. Yeah.. Had been on medical cover for quite a few weeks already... For NDP that is.. Cos Mr President went to One Fullerton for the ceremony and also watch the fireworks display, our team had to go down there as well ( we are the cover for Mr President)...

The fireworks was beautiful..Not the first time i see fireworks.. But this NDP has gave me quite a few chances to see fireworks display.. This one was extremely captivating, cos it was longer (i stood there rooted for like almost 15-20mins).. and also because the display is gg on wth music in sync... Very nice lah...

After the cover, i got to leave from there.. So went over to AMK to meet up wth the guys to watch a movie... Lady In The Water... The storyline seems quite ok.. I mean, i've always liked this kind of plot.. Where a grp of gd guys come together to fight the evil.. Haha.. So yeah... I tried to guess the plot.. But i din managed to get it right..

Office politics sux...

The working environment in my workplace is really lousy.. The office politics is real bad.. Sigh.. So many ppl backstabbing each other... Its a scary place...

After working in the office, only then did i realise the importance of a secretary.. or rather someone to be there to do all the misc stuff like photocopying stuff, faxing paperwork,etc.... Haha.. So they do have a use other than sitting there takin up a spot and trying to be part of the furniture in the office tryin to look pretty..

Gg for course for the nxt 2 days... Can take it as a break from my workin schedule... Haha..

I helped save a dog !!!

During my guard duty ystdae, something interesting happened.. someone reported that a dog was trapped and SPCA was called in.. So i was called upon to follow the DO (Duty Officer) and the SPCA guy in.. Went in wth a torch (it was in the night) and a jack knife.. Turns out the dog was trapped in the net of one of the goal post at the field.. It was very agitated.. I tried to calm it down ( i always thot i can communicate wth all kinds of living things.. haha).. I was ok until the SPCA guy came wth the lasso.. The dog struggled so much it's mouth got entangled in the net.. Unable to open its mouth and bark, it decides to try and bite thru the net.. The sharp nylon of the net cuts its gums and it ended up bleeding from its gums.. Quite alot of blood loss.. After it was freed, the SPCA guy took it back wth him.. Haha.. Interesting..

Had a tiring day todae.. Somemore had to go Tanjong Gul Camp, which is like super far lah.. Tmrl gotta go again.. Sian.. muz take train all the way to Boon Lay leh.. After that take a bus for almost half an hour.. Sian...

ALright.. That's all for now.. Gg to catch up on some slp...

Guard Duty??

Hey Er Ge, i'm doing guard duty on Mon as well.. Haha..

Body slowly feelin the fatigue set in after all the sports...

The World Cup is more or less over... Wth Brazil and Argentina out, this means there are no more South American teams left.. And there are no more Asian teams as well..

And so we step into the month of July, which is a hectic one for me.. Wth NDP trainings comin in.. and the duties i have to performed ( not exactly helpful that i signed 2 extras).. and the huge amt of training we have to do.. i can't wait for July to be over.. And there isn't a single day of public holiday.. Sigh..

Morale is below sea level...

Alan...

Still confused about my future..

Woo! Got back this morning from Guard Duty in Camp...

Didn't catch a wink the entire night at all... not even my alarm clock could wake me up just now... hahaz...

And the beauty of it all... it ends my June guard duty... And... this Monday will be my July Guard Duty!
Ta-Da!

Did a good deed...

Todae i did a good deed.. During training todae, a little bird somehow fell and landed on the floor.. Abit stunned and injured, it din fly.. or rather it can't.. i picked it up and it rested in my hands for like half an hour, den it was well enuf to perched itself on my finger.. Den soon it flew off le.. So happy for it....

Had a farewell 'party' for my OC todae.. Ate alot of pizzas and drank quite abit of beer and wine..

Den headed to Parkway to join the rest for pool.. was rather tired by the time i got there.. A long journey indeed..

Played a few games den shared a cab home...

Tmrl i'm on duty.. I actually exchanged for it myself.. Dun ask me why i do it...

Everyday, someone will piss u off.. But then, everyday, someone will make ur day as well... this is a balance in life... Juz my thoughts... no right or wrong...

Alan...

"Wadeva ok.... "

It's been awhile...

Hmm.. Been quite some time since i last blogged..

So wad have i been up to??

Well, i've been spending alot of money.. and i've been gettin into alot of trouble..

Ystdae a few of the class guys (including me lah) went to Suntec for dinner.. Had our dinner at Sizzler's.. Nice food and filling indeed.. But the price was still a little steep.. Not the first time i ate there.. Once in a while guess its ok.. Haha..
To tink last Sat juz ate at Pasta Mania and bought myself a set of earphones.. And this time the earphones i bought is apparently a gd one.. Haha.. Smthing wth a gd brand.. Lolz..

Juz came back from a jog wth WK.. I'm so fat nowadays.. Really shd be running more..

And so wad kind of trouble have i got myself into?? Well, its a long story.. But i got my punishments... Signed 2 extras if u noe wad they are.. Had to write statements somemore lor... Nvr write before.. Not gonna dwell on it..

Hmmm, reading blogs arnd, i realise smthing.. Ppl often like to use the initials of a person in their blogs and sms.. For example, they'll use 'kl' for me.. Or like 'WK' for Wee Keat.. For sms its still fine, cos the person u're msging probably noe this person as well.. But for blogs dun u tink its different?? I mean there may be people who read ur blog, but not noe who ur 'KY' or 'JH' all this are.. right??
Juz a point of view...

Perhaps i shd go on a jian fei programme..

Nah.. I love food too much to do that.. And i love supper.. Haha..

Oh yeah.. Many ppl getting sick nowadays.. Down wth wad they call.. The World Cup Fever.. Take care...
And guess wad, i can watch the world cup on my com as well.. Haha.. And i can watch lots of shows too.. Muahahaha..
