I haven't been using this space for quite sometime. It's partly because I have no time and mostly because I'm lazy.

So many things I want to do, so many things I have to do, but so little time.

It's already the end of the month and I still have no idea whether I am accepted for early matriculation at NUS. Need to ado some quick checks asap.

And I really need to start taking my BTT and start my driving lessons soon. My NS is coming to an end and I still haven't got my driving licence.

Speaking about NS, there's a lot of pressure on me to teach my understudy well because the financial year is closing and this is a crucial part of the year. It's unfair that he has to take up such an important task so soon after joining us at the HQ. But then again, NS itself is unfair at its highest level, so... yeah. I did it one year ago and I believe he can do it too.

I'm still deciding on whether to extend my service for another month to help the school through the closing stages of the financial year. Currently I'm leaning more towards no. But we'll see how it goes.

Until then, 13 working days/26 days to ORD!

Year of the Dragon.

Yay to new clothes and Ang Baos!

Shop A has 156kg of rice, Shop B has 72kg of rice. They then sold an equal amount of rice. The ratio left of rice for Shop A and B is 4:1. What is the amount of rice sold by each shop?

AWWW YEAH

December.

2011-12-20T01:47:00.003+08:00

Lately, I've got so lazy with words. I'm too lazy to come up with things to talk about, too lazy to translate my thoughts into words. Heck, I'm so lazy that the thought of using my brain tires me out.

And I've been blogging the easy way. Upload a random picture, add a sparing amount of words, look deep and pretentious. It's cool.

Alright, it's the time of the year again. Just a few more days to Christmas, the almighty holiday that will kick-start a festive season that follows through all the way till the end of January. Yay, December! Woohoo, end of the year!

Despite the happy, joyous atmosphere, I can't help but notice that there are really too many people born in December. It's not even Christmas yet, but birthday presents have already took a huge chunk off my pay cheque. It's almost like the Christmas gift-exchange started early.

And guess what, I'm just slightly more than two months away from my ORD. I should be glad but I've given some thoughts on extending my service for a couple of months to earn some allowance right before school starts. Should I sell my soul to the SAF for a little while more or not?

I'll think through that.

Horsey.

1. The mate from a past relationship or friendship who, in the present reality, seems the ideal match, if it weren't for some force beyond your control, fate or otherwise, keeping you apart.

2. In virtually any context, someone you meet and share a significant encounter with who holds qualities akin to "the one" but for circumstance sake you are separated from; always after the fact.

3. More broadly, any love regret.

It's late but I just feel like I need to do this update.

So, Mayday Parade released their self-titled slightly more than two days ago and I must say this is an impressive album. When their first two singles are released, I was really doubtful whether this album will be living up to its hype. To be honest, after listening to the breathtaking A Lesson in Romantics and then the disappointing Anywhere But Here, I was never certain that Mayday will be able to produce a solid record, especially not after the departure of Jason Lancaster. But still I was willing to give it a listen.

On first listen, the album sounded as if it has too many songs with too similar sounds. However, this actually serves as an advantage, making the transitions from song to song smoother. In the end, it just sounds like a really long song. Lyrically, this album also performed exceptionally well, maturing a lot from the previous album.

Stay and Without The Bitter The Sweet Isn't As Sweet have got to be my favourite tracks off the album. Happy Endings Are Stories That Haven't Ended Yet also provided the epic ending for the album, the same way You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds did for ALIR. If I'm allowed to have a say on this, I'll say this album is worth listening.

Suckseed.

2011-10-03T00:14:00.007+08:00

It's about time to update, isn't it?

Just something interesting I need to mention; In less than 4 months, my twitter updates have already exceeded my blog posts. I guess twitter is a much simpler way to blog. Its 140-words limit just makes things easier and keep them short and sweet. I don't understand why some people just can't stand the word limit. I mean if you wanna whine, talk some shit or share your long-winded stories, why not just turn to blogging? Or you can just spam twitter with shorter sentences. Although spamming is kinda irritating.

Anyway, I've recently watched a very, very interesting Thai movie. Nope, it's not a horror film. It's a comedy with a very weird name, but it did not disappoint!

Presenting to you...

SUCKSEED!!

The movie is about three teenagers trying to make the big time in the music scene with a band they abruptly put together. Coupled with a love story, the movie turns out to be quite good.

The story line of the movie is actually nothing spectacular. I think it's the topic that the movie covers and the funny gags through out the movie that makes it good. C'mon, aren't we all already tired of all those Thai horror movies? Check out this Thai comedy for a change.

And the girl's quite cute too.

Ok, this post quite short. Bye.

Well, it's about time.

Alrighty, folks. There was actually Direct Enlistment down at BMTC for the past three days and for every single day, I have at least a friend enlisting. Wenchong's all alone and faraway at School 4, Leo, KN and Kiat actually ended up in the same company and Zhili enlisted to my school.

I've actually been looking forward to this batch for past three months. In BMTC, there are many indicators that remind you that you are nearing your ORD. One of them is the final batch you will see through. And this batch is the one for me. You see, this current batch of PTP will graduate in early January. Shortly after that, my understudy will be coming in. Everything will get better from then on.

I feel like a desperate. lol.

Moving on to something totally unrelated and random, I've just finished watching season 3 of Parks and Recreation.

Man, I'm like a huge fan of comedy TV-series. I've watched quite a number of television comedies and most of them are still on-going. I think I need a list to keep track of the series that I've watched, just to keep myself updated. So, here goes:

How I Met Your Mother (Season 6)

Big Bang Theory (Season 4)

Community (Season 2)

Parks and Recreation (Season 3)

Modern Family (Season 2)

Family Guy (Season 7)

Futurama (Season 5)

That '70s Show (Season 8)

Adventure Time (Season 2)

Regular Show (Season 2)

The last two are actually cartoons from CN but I just add them in. Alright, the list is not that impressive. I wanna know more comedy series! Can someone introduce some to me?!?!?!

kthxbye.

One chance to prove it.

2011-09-05T02:08:00.003+08:00

Remember I mentioned that I would like to start my posts with quotes? Well, here's one. As much as I hope this is a classy line from a movie, it's not. It's actually a line from All Time Low's Stay Awake. I actually feel much more comfortable quoting from songs than from movies.

How do people even remember quotes from movies anyway? I bet they just google it something.

Oh, and have you ever come across those people who quotes from movies on the subject they are discussing about? Don't that look kinda suspicious? I mean, do these people really watched the movie and committed the quote to memory or do they just google for quotes related to their topic and use them? Either way, it's kinda loserish.

Pardon me for the uninteresting first-half of this post. Things will get worse from here.

My brain is not functioning properly right now, because it's two in the morning and I finished a freakin' half-marathon around 17 hours ago. Yup, that's right. Twenty-one km. Some parts of my body are still aching and my brain is dealing with them.

Anyway, I never thought I could finish this run. I was so under-prepared and so lack of sleep that I thought I will just give up. At one point of time, I really felt like just lying down on the road and sleep like a log. But I'm glad I pushed on. The timing is not flattering and the damage is so insane, but the finisher medal is just worth it. I'm a half-marathon finisher.

Slow, so slow.

If you're expecting this to be a post about the Presidential Election, well, nope. Not interested. Just like the General Election earlier this year, I have absolutely no interest in it. I don't even know the names of all the candidates. I only know that all candidates have the same surname - Tan.

I don't know why but I really don't give a shit about politics. I totally can't see the hype in it. While other people of my age or even younger are getting obsessed over the GE results, I don't even wanna know. And I don't really get those anti-PAP stuff. I mean, are your lives in Singapore really that freakin' miserable under their ruling?

Maybe it's just because I'm still too young to vote. And if I'm not voting, it's none of my business. That's not a really good mindset but, too bad. That's just me.

Getting back to what I wanna say, I know I promised a post on my Hong Kong trip two nights ago. Yeah, guess what? I lied. It's not that I don't want to do it. I just have a lot of catching up to do. I'll get it up soon.

And I think I need to reiterate the point that I really can't freakin' wait for ORD. Six months is such a long time. I know what you're thinking; I've already gone through 16 months, shouldn't six months be a piece of cake? Well, I guess when the day gets nearer, the more impatient you'll get. Check back with me in three months time. I'll probably be tearing my hair off.

Freedom. So near, yet so far.

What's up?

2011-08-25T23:58:00.000+08:00

I would pretty much like to start my post off with an inspiring/cool quote. But I can't really think of any right now. So, yeah. Here's a photo of a girl having a picnic with a foxman.

Alright, I know I haven't been updating this space often enough and my previous post is just a photo of Zooey Deschanel pouting her lips at the camera. So here's a quite recap of my mundane life.

Last week was the worst and most challenging week of my NS life so far and I survived it.
After that, I went on a holiday in Hong Kong with my family.
And now I'm back from the five day trip.
I'm exactly 6 months away from ORD.
And. I. can't. wait.

I guess that's all for now. I'll update on my Hong Kong trip tmr.

The First Avenger

2011-07-30T00:52:00.003+08:00

I just came back from watching Captain America: The First Avenger and, I won't lie, it is perhaps one of the most AWESOME superhero films I've watched (right beside Thor). Probably the final installment before the 2012 Marvel film, The Avengers, Captain America sure was no disappointment. The ending was rather abrupt but at least the story was good. And I felt that Chris Evans did a good job portraying Steve Rogers.

The movie had got me all psyched up for The Avengers. I really, really,really can't wait for May 2012. Hopefully, the movie won't be a disappointment. After all, the higher the expectations, the bigger the fall. Hahaha.

'Cause life's like this.

And the truth is...

2011-07-24T03:57:00.005+08:00

If I had to walk the earth a thousand times,
I'd do it cause I love you.
Because if you said I had to,
I would know it to be true.

Once again, I am back to listening to Go Radio (and some of the songs by Mayday before they start to suck a little). You know how most songs, no matter how awesome they sound at first, they all tend to get boring after awhile. Well, that is obviously not the case for these songs.

Perhaps it's because these songs not only have a good tune, but they also have brilliant lyrics. I always believe that in order to have an amazing song, it takes more than just a beautiful melody. The lyrics are equally important. The melody provides the mood, and the lyrics paint the picture. They are an inseparable pair.

Go Radio is one of those few bands that write awesome lyrics. You'll never understand what is inside the ingenious mind of Jason Lancaster. It's almost like how people always say that Taylor Swift has access to all the dairies of teen girls. Jason just seems to have never-ending pages of tales to tell. And the way he put these words together is simply incredible and captivating.

I know all these sounds a bit stupid. The only reason why I'm here singing praises about this band is because I wanna share it. Haha, just give it a listen and you'll see.

On a seperate note, my fellow predator from School 3 HQ, Mr Fahd had ORDed. WAHLAU, damn sian sia. Next time, there'll be no one to share Facebook profiles with already!

Two weeks later, Faizal and Joel are going to ORD too. It's really saddening to see them go one by one. Hai, but what to do?

When is it my turn?! D:

Oh ya, and just an update for the audit, it went ok. Nothing much happened.

On a totally random note, Singapore won Malaysia with a scoreline of 5-3, at the World Cup Qualifiers. And also, Amy Winehouse was found dead today, at the age of 27.

2011-07-17T02:18:00.002+08:00

I don't know why I always visit my blog even though I didn't update it for a few weeks. It's not as if posts will magically materialize on to the blog. I guess I'm just wishing that I can update people about my life without wasting time typing.

Recently, I'd been really stressed out by the upcoming audit. This is my first time doing it alone and at times, I felt really helpless. Words really can't describe what I'm going through. I just think that I'm gonna be dead on Monday.

Argh.

2011-07-04T19:58:00.002+08:00

A long, long time ago, a man who’s part of generations of only sons, consulted a name-specialist to give his only son a name symbolic of a long life. But no matter how the name-specialist suggested, the man insisted, “longer… make it longer”. It became a name that took a long time to pronounce in anybody’s life.

His name was Kim~~suhanmoo keobugiwa durumi samcheongabja Dong Bang Sak Chichigapo Sarisarisaenta Woriwori Saepeurika Moodoosella gureumi heorikaein dambyeorak seosaengwonae goyangyi badookineun Doldolri.

A passer-by cried for help.

“Heelp!! Kim~~suhanmoo keobugiwa durumi samcheongabja Dong Bang Sak Chichigapo Sarisarisaenta Woriwori Saepeurika Moodoosella gureumi heorikaein dambyeorak seosaengwonae goyangyi badookineun Doldolri fell into the river!”

However, during the time he was crying for help, Kim~~suhanmoo keobugiwa durumi samcheongabja Dong Bang Sak Chichigapo Sarisarisaenta Woriwori Saepeurika Moodoosella gureumi heorikaein dambyeorak seosaengwonae goyangyi badookineun Doldolri drowned.

I wish my name was this long. Hahaha.

This is actually an ancient Korean tale that I got to know through the Korean drama, Secret Garden. It's quite a nice show.

Anyway, we're done with GP! It's a tiring night with little recognition, but at least it's over. Hahaha. However, I can't seem to rest for awhile. Work just keep coming. After this, there will be an audit. I hate this shit. Audit is the worst thing ever. Just hope that I can survive through it.

Ok, that's all for this short update.

Klutz.

2011-06-27T03:13:00.003+08:00

Hello, world. I know this is probably not an appropriate time to blog if I'm in camp. However, I'm not. So, I think it's a highly appropriate timing.

The reason why I didn't book in tonight is because I will be going to collect some items later on in the morning before heading back to camp. Damn, I really dread this feeling when I need to book in after a long weekend. This upcoming week will be a very busy one. GP is on Sunday. I hope I will be able to survive through the week. After all, we have already enjoyed an advance day of off-in-lieu on Friday. Theoretically, we should have gotten enough rest to pull through the upcoming week.

Speaking of which, I lost my freaking handphone the day before the off-in-lieu! I can't believe I'm such a scatterbrain. I was so disappointed in myself when I realised I lost my handphone. Although it's not in a great condition, it is probably the best phone I've ever had. The other better phone that I had got stolen at a swimming pool. I should stop being so absent-minded.

Anyway, because of that, I spent my whole day-off solving the issue. Collecting SIM card, getting a new phone and stuff. So yeah, now I'm using a lame $50 Nokia phone. It's not fancy but at least it serves my basic needs of calling and texting.

On a totally unrelated note, I just finished watching Episode 42 of Running Man. It's no doubt the best episode of RM that I'd ever watched. The game was really fun. I bet it would be really exciting if you were given the chance to participate in it. Hahaha.

Alright, I guess it's time for me to bail. I'll need a great deal of luck to push myself through the upcoming week, wish me good luck! Hahaha. Good night.

Interesting post.

2011-06-04T15:28:00.003+08:00

I really wanna go to Mayday Parade's gig in July! It's rather rare for bands like this to stop over at Singapore for a concert. I'm quite willing to part with $80 just for the show but at the same time I have my concerns. Firstly, I can't find anyone else to go with me despites all the likes from my friends on their page. And secondly, I'm quite sure they won't sing many songs from their debut album. Don't get me wrong, I do like their sophomore album. I just don't like it as much as their first album. Face it, Anywhere But Here have sucky songs in them and A Lesson in Romantics don't. So, I guess that's it.

Ok, actually I don't know what to say already. So, I'll just leave you with an interesting pic!

Listen.

2011-05-22T03:33:00.003+08:00

Mayday Parade's Save Your Heart.

Thank you!

2011-05-20T23:48:00.003+08:00

Hello, all. I know this post is way overdue. But still, I just wanna say THANKS to everyone that sent me a birthday wish! Hahaha.

Alright, now for the special mentions.

Thank you 3SG KOH KOK SENG for being the first one to give me a birthday present this year. THREE WEEKS EARLY. Hahaha.

Thank you my dear colleagues at SCH 3 HQ for the surprise celebration as well as the birthday card, appreciate that.

Thank you to the bitches at GB (less Mr Z L Lim) for that poorly-planned but still enjoyable day. And thanks for that very special present. Hahahaha, PAUL. (Y)

Thank you my dear family for that wonderful sushi lunch that made me so full.

Thank you to those who texted me to the birthday wish. In an era where Facebook dominates the social world, I really appreciate the thought of sending me the message personally.

Last but not least, thank you Mr Lim Zhi Li for paying for everything on 14 May 2011. The bill will reach you shortly.

Nissin Cup Noodles.

2011-05-17T20:53:00.000+08:00

Break time? Wanna have a cup noodle?

NO FREAKING WAY! NOT UNTIL THE ALIEN SHOOTS BEAMS OF GARLIC AT YOUR NOODLES!

GAGA-GAGA-GAGA-GA! GAGA-GAGA-GAGA-GA!

There, this would make you strong and healthy!

HAHAHA, Japanese commercials are really ridiculously funny. It really makes me wonder why Steve Rogers needed to undergo Operation: Rebirth to become Captain America when he could just have a cup of Nissin Noodles, just like our dear friend, Andy. I guess they don't have Nissin cup noodles back then. Or maybe at that time, Garlic Aliens haven't set foot on our planet yet.

I don't know what era does this commercial belongs to but there's a series of Nissin commercials that looks newer and more recent. You guys should check them out! There are many more species of aliens now, like Pepper Alien, Cheese Alien, Mozzarella Cheese Aliens (Yes, I know, WTF).

You will never look Nissin Cup Noodles the same way again. Cos they are much more AWESOME than you think they are.

Happy birthday to meee.

2011-05-15T02:05:00.002+08:00

As above.

Vas te faire encule, chiennes.

2011-05-08T03:01:00.008+08:00

Ok, to start this off, I just wanna say that French is pretty cool and I wanna learn French. Or Spanish. Or Portuguese. Or any other European language. I need a new language to cuss in.

Recent days had not been good. Mainly because of two things.

First of all, after months of researching, I have finally discovered something much worse than office politics. It's a species of co-worker I would like to call, The Hobos. As harmless (or stupid) as it sounds, it's actually a very dangerous breed to work with.

The Hobos sleep all day and slack all night. They are actually a very intelligent group. With an innocent appearance, some common abilities, streaks of good luck and an endless supply of knowledge on something usually unimportant and sometimes pornographic, the Hobos are set to conquer your heart. They will become your friend. They will become your boss' friend. They will become EVERYBODY's friend. And at work, they will just fade to the background. No one really notices what they were doing and where they were. The Hobos are the ultimate ninjas. They can practically do something totally unrelated to the job in front of your boss and he doesn't see it. When superiors start shooting work arrows, they are always left untouched and unharmed. I bet they might even be able to survive a rain of arrows. They probably owe that to their average looks, ordinary personality and inferior work rate.

The Hobos always do the minimum amount of work required but there is an exception. When you are resting and when the boss is there. Hobos are usually masters in the art of acting. They are natural born performers. Don't let their appearance fool you. They know when to put on a show and bring you down.

So you may ask, "But why the duck are they called The Hobos?" That's actually a very good question. (It's not. It's just mandatory to say this when you want to sound profound every time someone asks you a question.) The name actually comes from the typical concept of "the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer". However, the concept here is in terms of amount of workload and not in the monetary sense. Since this class of people actually do nothing much, as compared to others, they are the poor ones. And they as get poorer and poorer, they will end up as a homeless and penniless hobo, which is not really a bad thing since we are not talking in relation to money but assigned work.

As time pass, you will come to point where you are baffled with how much work you have in hand and there is still someone taking a nap in the cubicle next to you. At this point of time, you will question yourself whether it is worth it or not, because

THEY FREAKING EARN THE SAME PAY AS YOU!

Second of all, the weather's too hot. That's all, bye!

The 100 Facts Challenge

2011-05-02T04:04:00.002+08:00

Yes, I couldn't think of a better name.

This is a rather stupid activity that I thought of in the midst of an insomnia. One night, I was tossing and turning on the sofa in the office and this came to my mind.

The rules of this challenge is actually really simple:

Pick someone that both you and I know. I will give you $1 for every valid fact you know about this person. However, the minimum I can give you is $100. If you are unable to reach $100, you will pay me the amount that you stopped at.

What's a valid fact, you say.

Well, a fact is only valid when:
#1: It is personal to the person.
#2: It is not a repeated fact or not the opposite of a fact mentioned.
#3: It is not too general.
#4: That person agrees to it.

So, anyone up for the challenge?

Hahaha, I guess not. Even if someone has the guts to accept this challenge, I don't think I'll have the $100.

2011-04-15T01:21:00.006+08:00

"I doubt it.

Maybe you need to get this clear. I never really loved you. Stop thinking so highly of yourself. Stop being so egoistic.

You should really stop thinking so much. Or else, you'll start hallucinating. Us being together again is impossible."

If someone tells you this, what does it mean?

Rhythm Of Love

2011-02-27T02:32:00.000+08:00

Simplicity is indeed beauty! This song is an assurance to the statement. I love it. It's even better than Hey There Delilah, which in my opinion wasn't really such a great song. It is truly a shame that this song was unable to outdo, or otherwise match, the success that Hey There Delilah had. Well, what I can say? Not everyone share my taste in music.

On an absolutely unrelated note, there are quite a number of people I know enlisting this year. And from what I see in Feb's direct enlistment and the upcoming on in May, none of the people I know are coming to school 3! Most of them are posted to school 2 and 4. Wahlau, damn disappointed sia. I hope my poly friends will come to School 3 and if that really happen, I will make sure that they have a GREAT stay in school 3. Hahaha. Just kidding. Maybe.

That's the end for now. Haha, I don't do those signing off shit. I just say bye!

LOGISTIC.

2011-02-20T04:23:00.003+08:00

Alright, I just feel like blogging right now. I always have the tendency to blog at unearthly hours. Anyway, I still owe a post about my current job. So might as well.

As I mentioned in my previous, previous post, I am serving as a logistic spec in BMTC School 3. It is a long story as to how I got this appointment. I won't go into details. All I can say is that, it wasn't intentional. It was purely a coincident. My job, like any other, has its pros and cons. And just to name one of the pros, it's the environment that we work in.

School 3 HQ is definately one of the best places to work in. The people there are really fun to be with and we have cohesion almost every week. With such nice people, it's not that difficult to adapt and blend in.

Ok, I just got to say this. I'm getting really sick of all the comments I have been getting when I happen to bump into some of the guys from ASLC. Annoyed and irritated, actually. Whenever people sees us, they would ask "What are you doing here? Slack ar?" or something along that line. I don't know why, but HQ people are always linked to slacking. Just because we don't go outfield and our workplace is an office, doesn't mean that the job we are doing is any less tough than yours.

And something even more ridiculous: people that are not from School 3 started asking things from me. People just don't get what we do.

I have no idea how this post ended up as a ranting post. But it just did. Never mind, bye bye.

Happy Chinese new year!

Haha, this is my first update in almost a couple of months.

The much-anticipated CNY is finally here! It's a time for legal gambling tables, money in little red envelopes, pairs of mandarin oranges, non-stop barrages of CNY songs on the radio and literally everything in red. The thing I hate the most during CNY is when people try to alter the traditional, typical greeting lines in order to suit the zodiac of the year. It's really annoying. It just makes you sound like you are trying too hard.

I must say, I can't really feel the festive mood this year. Maybe being in camp for 5 days per week really numbed your senses for such festivals. At the start, I wasn't in the festive spirit at all (until the gambling started). I don't even feel the urgency to get all my new year clothes before CNY, most of my shirts this year are bought by my parents or bought when I was in Taiwan. My jeans was casually picked from Uniqlo and not even altered. I was basically dragging the shopping thing till the last minute. However, I still managed to pull off a last-minute shopping act and purchased a pair of reasonably pretty shoes. Haha.

Actually time pass pretty fast. Last year at this time, I was still a normal civilian dreading and waiting for my enlistment. And now, I've already completed my BMT and specialist course and is currently serving as a logistic specialist in BMTC (I'll get to that next time. Now just let me focus on CNY). I seriously hope this year, too, will pass fast enough. And before I know it, 2012 will come and then it's ORD LO!

Haha, happy new year again! Gong xi, gong xi! :D

2011.

2011-01-06T23:01:00.001+08:00

Happy belated new year! Will update soon.

Run, yoga and doing nothing.

2010-12-29T23:51:00.001+08:00

Hello, people! I'm back early from Tekong. We had a half day off because today was BMTC's anniversary.

In the morning we joined the perm staffs on the island for a 4.8km anniversary run. We were required to run from the parade square all the way to a reservoir and make a U-turn. When I was a recruit, I never knew Tekong had a reservoir. This morning was the first time that I heard about it. Hence, I didn't really know how deep it was into the jungle, so I just kept running. It was quite an eye-opener when I finally reached the reservoir, because under the morning sun, the view there was rather awesome. The run was generally alright except that we were mostly running on paths of gravels and pebbles.

After everyone had returned from the run, instead of doing the standard cool down, we had a session of yoga with a few external instructors. Man, yoga is really not the thing for me. I realised that my body is pretty stiff and I had trouble doing a few of the positions. It was not really enjoyable.

The rest of the day was rather standard. Most of our activities included talking cock, the mess and our beds. We were actually just waiting to book out. And we finally did. At 4pm. After 4 hours of doing nothing really significant.

Oh, did I mention that we are only booking in on Sunday night? I know it's a day after new year day. But I guess that's the best they could offer.

I've got quite a number of things to complete over these few days. And I think I should really pick up my bowling balls and start doing some training.

You don't have to believe me.

2010-12-26T04:21:00.002+08:00

"Ho,ho,ho!"

Did Santa give you anything you want this year? Hmmm, I doubt it. Alright, I know it's like a little past Christmas already but do allow me to rewind back a little.

As you all know, I have graduated from the Specialist Cadet School a week ago. But I have not share about my posting order yet (although I did tell a few people). Actually I knew my posting almost two weeks ago, I just forgot to blog about it.

And yes, I've been posted back to the sunny island of Pulau Tekong. Before anyone ask any questions, I need you to know that I don't know what role will I be taking up at Tekong yet. We still have a commanders preparation course to go through before we take up our respective roles. Most of us would be either a part of the faculty team or specialists attached to the various companies. If I get posted to the formal, I would probably not be able to give my friends an enormous welcome when they enlist next year. So I hoping for the latter. But either way, we are still sergeants on the island. We'll still be able to go to the mess. We'll still earn the same pay. And we'll still have the same freedom. So, it doesn't really matter much to me.

Bringing it back to the topic of Christmas, this year's Christmas wasn't really anything special to me. It was just a day that allowed me to book out earlier this week and have a complete day of rest and freedom. Damn, I still remember how I used to look forward to Christmas when I was still a kid. Because I used to get quite a fair number of presents, mostly toys. And I also loved putting up those decorations and lighting up the Christmas trees. Now Christmas just seems boring. I think I really need to bring the magic back to Christmas.

Well, on a really random side note.

Dang, isn't Hayley Williams pretty? She's not just pretty, but also pretty in pink. I adore her hair. And I love the music video for Paramore's Playing God. I just can't get the song's catchy chorus out of my head.

To end this off, I'll probably just wish everyone a merry Christmas! This post was meant for yesterday anyway. And oh, also, a very happy new year next week!

Man, I can't wait to book out.

Ho, ho, ho!

2010-12-24T04:08:00.000+08:00

Christmas is coming!

Nothing much.

2010-12-19T03:37:00.003+08:00

It's not hard to tell that I've lost quite an enormous chunk of interest in blogging right? I mean, I haven't been posting much ever since the start of pro term in SCS. 1 picture, 1 video link, 1 chunk of copied-and-paste lyrics, 1 not-so-poetic poem, 1 rant about bands and 1 w00h00-I'm-going-to-taiwan-and-you-are-not was all that I wrote. Obviously these posts don't add up to form the summary of my past three months. They were just there to depict my feelings at that point of time and, well, to show that this blog is still alive and I'm still updating. Picture my blog as a coma patient. Those posts were like a slight twitch of the eyelid or a sporadic movement of the index finger, little signs to remind people that he is not dead, just in deep unconsciousness.

Alright, enough of that trash talking, I've got blanks to fill!

As much as I hate to admit it, I actually did enjoy my professional term.

My section mates were absolutely amazing people. So were our instructor and some of the other people in the platoon. Without these people, professional term would be hell. I will always remember all the shit we went through together. Like, the ridiculously long list of requirements for CSB, the mass heat rashes we had during Grandslam and also the 3 hours of rain on the second night. (FYI: That was the worst 3 hours in my entire life)

I really enjoyed our overseas exercise to Taiwan. It was fantastic and a whole new experience. Taiwan is an awesome place. Longstride was the fun because of all the interesting things we did along the way. Warrior was a week-long bitch but at least the weather was nice. And R&R, (Y).

Three months may seem like a short span of time, but it was a long, grueling period for us at Hotel company (Those from Hotel will know why). But still, we all managed to overcome the challenges that were placed before us. And now, finally, we have graduated as 3rd Sergeants!

Actually that's pretty much it. The moral of the story is: I've been training in a course for the past three months and now I've graduated and is promoted to a 3SG. I'm a Specialist and I'm proud of it. Bye bye.

So, yeah, I'm flying off to Taiwan in a few hours! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! See you guys, or whoever you may be, in three weeks!

Saddening much.

2010-11-10T20:54:00.002+08:00

I like discovering bands that make great music. Especially when a lot, and by a lot I mean almost all, of the bands are only capable of churning out one or maybe two good albums. Why can't these bands be more CONSISTENT? I mean, it's a real pity. These bands usually produce an eye-catching debut and then followed up with a sophomore slump. We the King and The Maine were the ones the larger disappointments for the past one year. Mayday Parade's second record was not as disappointing but clearly not as great as their first one (Perhaps due to the departure of Jason Lancaster :D). Well, I guess that's the depressing trend in the music industry nowadays. No wonder people are turning to pop.

The kind of feeling we sing about.

Posting was out two days ago. And when I didn't update the moment I got my posting, you know it's a bad one.

I'm posted to ASLC. That means that I'll have to stay at Pasir Laba camp for the next four months. That means that I'll have to do the same old shit that I'd been doing since the start of my army life, just tougher. That means that I'll have to sing the Infantry song for the rest of my NS life.

This feeling is bullshit, man. It's like finishing a gruelling and mentally-exhausting 28km route march just to be told that you'll have to complete a 32km one in months to come. And route marches are not the only shitty things coming my way.

To make things worse, the guys going to ASLC were forced to fall-in and watch as their fellow coursemates celebrate their posting to vocations like signals, arty, air force and medic. Not saying that these vocations will not be tough, but at least they'll be doing something new. Not like the rest of us, stuck at the same place, doing a tougher version of the shit we had been doing for the past four months.

Alright, I'm just gonna end here. Saying more just makes me feel worse. Fuck this shit.

Graduate lo!

2010-09-02T19:20:00.000+08:00

This song is insanely catchy! Not to mention the excessive use of the all-time favourite profanity quote.

Support arms please?

2010-08-28T22:46:00.004+08:00

I got hooked on to Paramore again. Turn it off is way too awesome.

I'd realised quite a long time ago that after I entered SCS, I had only blogged once. I wonder why. Furthermore, that post was absolute rubbish. It made no sense at all.

Anyway, the 8-week Foundation Term is coming to an end soon. We had cleared all the high key events and is only left with the gruelling 28km route march which will occur next week. After our final week, we'll all be posted to various units to specialise in different vocations. The whole course will take roughly around 12 weeks.

I have completely no idea where I will be going since I was not picked for the second round of selection for CBRE (I was briefly distressed by this). But according to the Express Interest form they gave us, I stated that I am extremely interested in joining the support arms unit. As I continue to believe in optimism, I would hope that these forms really do play a part. In reality, I know they don't.

I can only pray. Not only for the posting, but also to finish the 28km march alive.

Shag, cannot think.

I don't know why I typed this word. But I'm pretty sure that it doesn't mean anything. I don't even know how to pronounce it. Maybe Microsoft Sam do. Anyway, the utterance is just an expression of what is going through my mind right now.

I'm very, very tired at this moment. And I can feel something swirling in my head. It's almost like waves crushing against the shore. I. Can't. Focus.

Okay, I've already tried my best to put words together and churn out a post. Although the post only talks about how tired I am and doesn't have much meaning, nonetheless it's still a post. Perhaps next time when I am feeling extremely tired, I should just borrow words from nice, little paragraphs or verses that I had came across. That will reduce the workload on my brain.

I hope you don't get decieved by the time stated below. The time now is way after that.

Bore.

2010-07-10T15:10:00.002+08:00

I'm quite disturbed by the fact that Singapore Pools decided to raise the odds for Germany winning the game by 2-0 and I'm very, very bothered by the certainty that Luis Suarez will be playing for Uruguay. But still, I will cling on to the small glimmer of hope because I had a beautiful dream last night. I'm a hopeful pessimist.

Why must I always write about things related to the World Cup? I don't know.

2010-07-09T20:09:00.003+08:00

I just dwindled away three minutes of my life watching a video which involved a mollusk creature leisurely landing on his preferred box, delicately pulled the lid up with relative ease and then skillfully slid in one of its creepy appendages, reaching for the morsel of food within the transparent box. He did it like a pro. And I felt like I'm a retard for watching the video.

Yes, I've just watched Paul, the Oracle octopus predict the results for the final two matches of the World Cup. His prediction doesn't really bother me. I just want to know whether the eventual winners that he predicted will be akin to the ones that Mani, the parakeet picked out.

Well, not quite. Paul foresees that Spain will be the one hoisting the trophy at the end of the match, while our local product, Mani tips the Netherlands for the title.

But there's just one slight problem here: Mani predicted before the semis that the World Cup final will stage a battle between Spain and Uruguay and now he switched sides. It just goes to show that there are more than one specie in the world that are fickle-minded.

---

Enough with the World Cup bullshit, I shall carry on with my life.

I guess many of you might not know this, but today is the day that our postings will be out. This is the big day that we all were (or were not) looking forward to after 2 months of BMT. And as you can see from the title, I am posted to the Specialist Cadet School (SCS), which will train us to become specialists (aka sergeants). I'm quite please with the posting, really nothing much to complain about. I just hope that I will be able to cope with the training.

Alrighty, I am really tired now because I only slept four hours last night, partly worried about the results and mainly due to all the mosquitoes in my room, so I'm going to sleep now. Bye!

Risk-taking, a hobby.

2010-07-08T23:12:00.006+08:00

I am a firm believer in the fact that guys should not overuse the abbreviation, "OMG". Both verbally and virtually. Nothing religious, it just sounds gay when a guy keeps saying it. Especially when he is speaking to another guy. Brrrrr.

This dream semi-final battle between Germany and Spain was staged this morning. I didn't watch it because I overslept. I lost yet again, despite predicting that Spain was going to win. Hahaha. I'm, what I call, a risk-taker. I only bet on those options which I deem are possible and also provide a high return. This is the type of gamblers that will eventually develop into the much dreaded, compulsive gamblers. Luckily my risk-takings are counterbalanced by my unwillingness to spend much on gambling (Yes, you can also call this penny-pinching or stinginess). Anyway, the World Cup only comes once every four years. And since I'm only interested in betting on international football, the next time I'm going to bet will be during Euro '12.

So, I'm pretty sure that I will not be a gambling addict.

Ending off, here's a question: Who do you think, will be number 01?

2010-07-07T12:18:00.003+08:00

EH WAHLAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

HOLLAND COULD HAVE WON BY 3-0 LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Look at the way Uruguay played. It was absolutely rubbish. The strikers didn't bother to run after through balls but only chase after meaningless balls. The defence was in a mess and people were straying off their positions.

However, they seemed to be able to score two goals despite displaying that horrible performance. In my opinion, Maarten Stekelenburg was indeed Holland's weakest link during the match. Holland played good football, but still they are vulnerable between the own posts.

Hai, disappointment. But nevermind, I shall now trouble over what to buy for the Germany/Spain match.

Platoon 3 Section 4.

2010-07-06T23:36:00.002+08:00

Was I wrong in betting a 3-0 win for Holland?

What I'm seeing and hearing now seem to agree with the statement. People are saying that the match is a semi-final game, it would be good enough if either side could push for a draw, moreover win by such a wide margin. Well, let's just say that I have my own reasons in betting on that scoreline.

However, my arguments are built on the grounds that the two sides have a fair game. If Uruguay repeat their incredible master plan of deploying 2 outfield players as additional goalkeepers, then I shall rest my case. I can only hope.

I was having fever for the first few days of block leave. Must be due to all that running in the rain on Friday. The feeling sucks, but I still got better in the end.

We had a platoon outing today. I didn't join the guys for soccer as I just recovered from fever. In the afternoon, I met them, together with some section 1 guys, at Dhoby Ghaut and we went for LAN Gaming. It has been a long time since I've played any LAN games.

After that, we went to Sam Tan's house for a barbecue.

Sam's dog, Fristy, brought Wesley, Kai Yao and I around the neighbourhood. MAN, HE IS ONE AWESOME CANINE. He just went around marking his territories and taunting the other dogs that were stuck in their own houses. And after all that, he could still make his way back home. This dog really deserve my respect. I addressed him as SIR FRISTY.

We had a fun time gathering around the barbecue pit, chatting and eating. Left at around 10 plus. I think the whole day was fun and we should really have more section outings like this.

Someone please organise!

Pop the balls.

2010-07-04T07:32:00.004+08:00

I know we all feel this way once in a while.

---

Pardon me if my words don't make any sense at all. I haven't sleep for 20 hours. I just reached home after watching the last two quarterfinal matches with ZL, Dan, Willie and CS. Having no intention of extending the streak, I will keep this short. (Although I must add that Argentina truely disappointed me and Germany's play was really, really impressive)

Right, so I'm officially promoted to a private after Friday's POP. It's a pity that it rained though. And yeah, the 24km march was tough but I pulled through. :D I love Apache coy, especially my platoon and our commanders, and I will miss them. But still... POP LO!

Time to grab some sleep!

I simply like it when people rebut my posts.

Just so you know, I'm not at a loss for words. In fact, I had too many things that I would like to say. But considering the friendship, I shall stall the verbal diarrahoe.

I would very much like to see you at the zenith in the future. Hope you wouldn't take too long. Good luck, my friend. You'll need it.

Stop living in eupathy.

2010-04-23T17:50:00.007+08:00

While it's raining outside, I feel the bitter chill in my heart. I wasn't trying to be poetic. It's just an accurate depiction of what I'm experiencing at the current moment.

The thunder just roared as I typed.

I am a person familiar to rejection. The cold shoulder was probably what I had to face almost everyday. And sad to say, I got them mostly from my friends.

I understand that whatever reasons given were not necessarily invalid and things they needed to complete were not actually frivolous. I also believe that I do not possess the authority to demand much. I would gladly accept the fact that maybe I'm the one that was too free.

However, despite the rejections that they dished out, most of them would make it a point to meet up once in awhile. I really hate it when people only come out like once in a hundred invitation. And to make it worse, those pricks turn you down with short, rude messages. I don't know if it's their way of being cool or what, but I've got to say it's not working.

Just in case it did not come across your mind, I'll have you know that there is a limit to tolerance. Everyone is only understanding to a certain point. While you are trying to maintain the world longest streak of rejecting friends, have you ever stopped and wonder why we still ask you out in spite of the fact that we were prepared to be dismissed by your apathetic words? Because we like to taste rejection cos it's so damn sweet? Because we are morons that are vapid and retarded? NO, it's because you are still under the category of FRIEND.

But after all these, I had to ask:

What happened to the friend that feels bad after rejecting people for too many times? What happened to the fun-loving person who, at the same time, spared a thought for others?

The one standing in front of us now, is just a distant silhouette that never had the thought of turning back to catch a glimpse. That's just so sad.

I just came home after buying two packets of linguine. That'll settle my lunches for this whole week. I still have like 3 bottles of different pasta sauces at home.

Anyway, I'm watching The Pupil online now. So, bye!

It's too bad that two of them left the band. But I'm still looking forward to their new album!

2010-04-12T23:59:00.001+08:00

I've been watching a lot of Chick vs Dick today. Never gets bored of it. Paul is a freaking hilarious dude. Hahaha.

Oh, and I realised that I'm a much, much bigger asshole that I thought I am. If I must associate it with the size of a creature, I'd say that I'm roughly a jerk the size of a Supersaurus. Okay, this probably wouldn't bode well for me, but I just wanna talk about it.

I recognise the fact that I am a sore loser when it comes to some things in life. I really dread losing when it comes to these aspects. To be honest, most of the time I would be blaming myself for my loss. To me, it's like the fourth worst feeling that could happen (behind grief, anxiety and stress). I've gotta learn to take these people and things more easily. After all, there's much more to life than winning.

It also dawned upon me that my actions and words are actually abstruse. I've always thought that every phrase I say or every move I make, sends out messages that correspond to what was stirring in my brain. I thought I'm a really direct person. I thought people read me like an open book.

Apparently, I was wrong. I've mistaken my ability to express myself. I've failed to realise that some of my actions even turned out to be faux pas. I'll be wary of how I'm expressing myself to others.

Some may relate all these to sarcasm. But I beg to differ.

Although I know realising my mistakes is not an excuse for repeating them, until the moment that I've changed, I am still a prick. :D

Regular update.

2010-04-08T03:15:00.002+08:00

Alright, it has been awhile since I update about my life.

Currently I'm still waiting for letters of admission from NTU and NUS. PLEEEEEEEEEEASE COME SOON! And I'm still hoping that I can get my first choices.

And I'll be in Tekong in less than 3 weeks. So please spend more time with me. Hahaha.

Oh ya, and now that Arsenal bought a new striker, I think it's really time to get a new custodian. Almunia is not good enough. :(

Losing the feeling of feeling unique.

2010-04-08T00:57:00.003+08:00

I bet almost everyone felt this way before. Or maybe it's just me.

Whenever I start listening to some bands that not many people know about or start wearing clothes that not many people have, I feel good. I guess that's the kind of feeling that being unique gives you.

But when more and more people start listening to these songs and wearing the clothes that I started wearing a while ago, there will be this feeling which feels like a cross between being annoyed and being frustrated. It's like I'm not special anymore! Hahaha.

You can call that being selfish and I'll admit to that too. Hahaha. But that's not the point. I'm just saying that being different is not really a bad thing. And being unique does feel good. Everyone is unique. There's no need to delibrately create a pseudo identity.

We've got a new striker!

2010-04-07T04:47:00.002+08:00

So Arsenal was totally destroyed by Barcelona at Nou Camp. The scoreline was 4-1. But that's not important, as long as we're getting Marouane Chamakh! It's confirmed. Arsenal will have a new striker for the new season.

Like finally!

Beanie, beanie!

2010-04-07T01:31:00.001+08:00

I'm wearing a beanie right now! Adidas one siol.

Bendan.

2010-03-31T21:21:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow is April Fool's day!

Hahaha, I will stay at home.

Life is pretty much like Tetris.

2010-03-28T23:17:00.002+08:00

I have this theory that the amout of leg hair a person has is proportionate to the amount of facial hair that he's going to have. But I have a feeling that it's not true.

For the past few weeks or so, playing Tetris was one of the things that I'd been doing. In fact, I've been playing it almost everyday. I find joy in fitting those bricks in.

And after these few weeks of tossing and turning of bricks, how could I not have any insipiration?

"Life is like a game of tetris. Different pieces keep coming your way and you just have to find a way to fit them all in."

I thought of this line by myself. If you've seen it somewhere, it just goes to show that great minds think alike. :D

I've got troubled thoughts.

2010-03-27T23:55:00.000+08:00

I'm experiencing an outbreak of pimples. There's a really huge one on my left cheek. Hahaha.

For the past few days, I've been giving much thoughts on my university application. I've applied for both NUS and NTU last week. And to be honest, I want nothing beyond my first choices. Psychology at NTU isn't that bad, but I really hope I get accepted into FASS at NUS. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I'm pleading. Hahaha.

In the face of danger.

2010-03-26T19:10:00.000+08:00

I drew this when I was bored.

Enoki.

2010-03-26T04:10:00.005+08:00

Bah, randomness. I just feel like updating right now.

Enoki mushrooms are my food of the moment. I just love their crunchy-chewy texture. And they go well with almost anything. It's gotta be my favourite fungi. :D

I'm having a bowl of minestrone right now, with enoki mushroom in it. HAHAHA.

HAHAHA. I think this banner is stupid!

Moovies.

Hello! I went to watch Kaiji today with WC and Nigel. And to be honest, it wasn't that bad. But I'll rather spend the $6 on another movie.

Damn, there is quite a number of interesting movies that are either coming soon or recently released. I sooooooooo wanna watch them all. Especially, Monga (艋舺)!

Updates.

2010-03-21T23:38:00.002+08:00

I love frosties and milk. (Y)

I know I haven't been posting much since the start of NAG. Okay, so NAG ended on Wednesday and I only have one word to describe my performace: horrible. My average was falling every single day. Hahaha. I guess I still need more and more trainings.

Yesterday was a long, long day and since I'm not in the mood for typing a long, long post, I shall just point out the main takeaways. One, urban dictionary is a good source of bad humour. Two, we shouldn't stay up for the night.

I went out with my family for dinner at a western restaurant near Yishun. It's a really awesome place. The food was great. The most amazing thing about the restaurant is that they provide free flow of popcorn! The restaurant is called ViTTLES. Check it out!

:B

2010-03-16T12:20:00.002+08:00

Okay, so yesterday was the first day of NAG. The U21 squad was supposed to start at 9pm. But due to some delay we only started around 10.15pm. I was so damn tired by the time it ended. Oh, btw we ended at 1.30am.

I did pretty okay for the first two games but by the third game, I was already falling asleep. So I only managed a 163 average in the end.

Never mind, doubles today! Gotta bring my own water.

Hello, I just came back from NAG. Damn tired! Update tmr.

Swollen ligament.

2010-03-13T23:34:00.002+08:00

Phew, I had two tiring days in a row.

Went to OCC yesterday with Keith, Chris, Phoebe and YZ to prepare ourselves for NAG. Bowled around 8 games. It was that bad. Hahaha. I had OCC fried rice for lunch and dinner. (Y) Oh, and I found out that the ligament in my right thumb has swelled to the shape of a ball. Ouch.

Today I met Weiming, Phoebe and her friend and went to NTU open house. The MRT journey was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long. Walked around the campus and asked around at the booths. And a professor there made me feel like my grades were so bad. Hahaha.

Met Willie at 4pm and went down to the IT Fair to find WC and ZL, who were working there. Man, I really, really hate going to the IT Fair. I would never ever understand why people would like to spend so much time sqeezing in those escalators and convention halls for those gadgets.

At around 6pm, Willie went for some concert and I took bus home.

Okay, I've been walking too much for the past few days. Gotta rest well for NAG.
