oki back to blog. new record, havent wash my car in more then a week.
all my other cars didnt survived without a bath for more then 7 days straight.
i really do not have the time needed to maintain it.
worst, its white. so omg. and it has only gone for 1 session of polishing/wax.
by right it should be 3 already. the white's starting to have patches of black.
nvm, i'll spray it orange the moment i have the spare cash.
deep shining orange, with glossy black rims. racing stripes, maybe.
anyway, i feel really bad not maintaining it.
its just that i feel really tired after work. if i were to wash it,
it means the earliest i can get to bed, would be 3am.
and i would have to be up at 830am inthe morning.

oh well, had one hell of rude customer yesterday.
shouted at me in front of everyone. nope i didnt make any mistakes.
its just that the first time he came, it was near the last order timing,
so we informed him and he wasn't happy.
this time, he came again, near to our last order timing.
so we informed again and he blew his top saying they were being treated unfairly.
i bet the whole restaurant was staring. his friends went quiet.
the look on their faces was like mmmmmmmmmmm. like 40 plus yr old kind.
that guy's like 25 to 28 only. supposed to be in the hotel line.
taking some course to be a GM at Intercont******* Hotel.
well, good luck to their service. maybe its a Good Manners course tsktsk.
surprise surprise. i was taken aback when he shouted but i kept my cool.
was i embarrassed or something? nah.
demanding or voicing out one's depleasure, can be done in a gracious way.
and other diners can tell. for instance.
there was once when i thank a custormer for dinning with us, then greeted her G.bye.
she said something in a very arrogant manner.
the ladies sitting at the table beside us went, "whats wrong with her?"
in that, shes such a bitch, tone.
service ine is really an interesting one.
my korean colleague bitched about that guy to our other two korean colleagues.
they were so embarrassed and angry.
cause he's from the same school as them.
and they were like, mitchell are u ok? ahhaha cute girls.
should have said not ok, need a hug :X
yq dun read!!! :P

2010-06-19T01:36:00.002+08:00

ok, just took over my sister's bose set.
comes with 4 satelite speakers, one sub-woofer,
one other thing that houses the CD reader aux stuff and all.
like some kinda mother board thing for audio systems.
tried it, played Spirited Away's movie sound track.
it worked, heard the instruments and all going. was like oh shit.
inserted Mahler 3 -3rd mvt. was like omgggggggg.
could hear the calling, the heartache. the clarinet was so sweet.
and u might have it in the orchestra but not lister to it, the bassoon character.
its really wow. not wow the sound system is good. rather wow.
the instrument is lovely, has so much character.
note listen, and not hear. sigh.
music is so beautiful, would never give it up if i could. actually i can still continue.
it just means spending way lesser time with my darling.
and i wont have time to practice anyway.
oops, i just heard the trumpet lose control on a holding note
listen from 7min 30secs. slight fluctuation in the stability.
might be my ears though hahaha. omggggg sighhhhh.
the bass is kinda heavy. hmmm wonder if i should lower it.
but i like the booooommmmmm.
some kinda tremor effect through the air.

how i wish ying qing's here with me.
could have coffee while listening to the music.
just the both of us, chatting about anything under the sky.
i need an additional table in the room then.
maybe the one from downstairs, the round glass panel with the two car rims as the stand.
recently started doing something to relax my nerves, pass time.
have been watching the fishes and shrimps and lobsters haha.
watch swim, feed, bang into the glass lol.
threw in martin's terrapin yesterday, new form of entertainment.
watch it chase the fishes thru the tank. hunting them here and there.
getting flipped thru the water when it swam pass the water outlet.
and again, i wish yq could be here by my side whenever i watch them.
right now, i can only describe it to her thru msn.
love you my darling :)
16mins 20secs, Zeus speaks.

2010-06-17T03:35:00.002+08:00

ok i really hate the rain.
washed the car tues night, waited for the engine to cool off and all.
started washing at like, wed 1:50am
finished around wed 3am plus. happily went to bed.
woke up at 10am to the sound of rain on the window.
was like, fuck, there goes. continued sleeping lol.
and the car's white mind you. gotta wash it again later tonight.
since its a thursday already. i need a car cover, need to get one.

just came back from a spin around sg.
did it alone cause i couldn't find any supper buddies.
either working the next day, in camp, down with the flu virus,
or out with their partners. i was like, hmmmmm. where should i go?
i just really wanna drive some where.
took the car west ward with no destination in mind.
SLE, BKE, erm, bukit timah road. pump petrol 40 bucks.
drove to farrer road. missed the fly over, went straight, u-turn.
that was like 1 to 2km. went on the fly over,
damsey road, circle the place, looked at the restaurants.
drove to town, grange road, scotts road, anderson road,
orchard road, then one more loop some where near grange road,
parked beside hard rock cafe, walked to Califonia Pizza Kitchen.
(wanted to see the damage they suffered if any)
checked the map, drove down to suntec. up the ECP, AYE,
portsdown/norman road, drove to the otherside of the AYE,
back to the AYE, alexandra road, depot road, lock road
(thats the meeting point for the VW gather this 25th, recce 1st),
malan road, alexandra road, left turn before ikea,
to the expressway turn right towards holland road,
drove straight passing farrer/holland road, thomson road,
turn into upper pierce reservoir, into the car park area, out from the petrol kiosk,
continued on thomson road towards nee soon camp,
drove into springside, checked out the 2 houses i used to stay in,
drove out thru a different lane, continued towards home,
turned right towards yishun/seletar dam, drove there and back to the same junction,
came back home. about 130 to 160km travelled in 40 bucks worth of petrol.
quite a bit remaining. good for another 60km at least. took 2hrs.
my vehicle consumption hit a record high for a pure petrol vehicle.
9.5km/L HEHEHEHE. the bmw was doing 7.4km/L.
the honda hybrid was doing only 11.4km/L hahhaha.
oh well. seasoning the engine la, need to clock 1k mileage before i can rev more.
and man, it feels bad..wished yq was beside me.
so i would have some one to read the map :X
no la, my left hand was very free. felt too free.
miss holding her hands while i drive. quick fly back!!!

2010-05-28T01:04:00.003+08:00

Been a long time since i blogged.
anyway, now working at the family's restaurant.
whats it like? not ful of politics i must say.
and somehting else i would like to add. being in SWO.
the committee and working around with the band members.
taking charge of things small medium or big, helps.
the experience helps. army experience helps too.
Chain of Command, appointments, ranks, vocations.
both helped. glad i was given the opportunity to be in swo's committee.
to be in the band in the first place was quite an opportunity.
guess they bothed helped me mature quite a bit.
the advices given by my elders and peers regarding running the band,
running things in camp. both helped alot.
so thanks guys:) you all know who you are, especially my swo friends:)
dinner groups and all hahah. miss you guys, like really really miss you guys.

work's fun. stress helps me perform better.
dun ask me how or why, i have no idea. i perform better under stress.
long hours and all tire my body not my mind for some reason.
its no where close to the mental stress limit for me.
route march was worst HAHAHA.
i am beginning to suspect the stress, though i dun feel it, affects me.
to me its like there isnt any stress but it seems those around me have been affected.
especially my poor darling. ( up there in the pic ) :)
becoming snappy and impatient with her nowadays.
and i cant spend that much time with her nowadays.
be it thru calling or instant messaging, video calling what ever.
really wish i could give her all that again.
oh well, bought the blackberry bold a few days back.
at least now the cost of keeping in contact whie working, is way cheaper.
average hp bill whenever she's in aussie? 120 bucks.
this new toy and the internet thing. i expect the average to be like 80 at most.
and my old hp's giving probs anyway. buttons failing.

my new found hobby for passing time when she's slping?
looking at my fishes swimming in their 2ft by 1ft by 1ft, universe.
wanna set up a 3 to 4ft tank downstairs.
then i can sip coffee whie admiring them at night.
oh ya, my beloved royal pleco passed away 2 nights ago, along with 20 cardinal tetras.
i dropped my bottle of plant fertiliser into the tank by accident.
its carbon or something. to repace dissolved CO2 in the tank.
anyway, they started to have spasms. lost them over 2hrs.
did all i could. but yeah.

man i miss my darling. she's flying back in like what. less then 18 hrs time HEHEH.
cant wait to see her on the 29th :)
shall take lotsa pictures.
shall brain storm about work related issues while she studies.
oh yea, i'll post more about my work.
pictures of my meals at work, of my work place,
of my colleagues. yup. this blog has been revived. :)

2009-11-08T00:48:00.002+08:00

this is darling's art work on facebook :) yup, she's my sunshine.
you know the song? you are my sunshine. my only sunshine.
you make me happy, when skies are grey. you never know dear, how much i love you.
please dont take my sunshine away.
8 more days to our 5th month, approximately 23 days to her return.
pretty fast actually. cant wait to see her. wanna give her a super big hug lol.

2009-09-22T19:27:00.002+08:00

okie i gave up the golden opportunity to steal the book this morning.
cuase i would get some one else into trouble. went the big round instead.
bsm took the parade state, gave me a list and asked me to check with the pa.
see if all the mc required, are there. i do not have one. cause that one doesn't exist.
collaborated with the pa. Date A's the missing one. i claim Date B's the missing one.
so he said to get the poly clinic to re-print a copy of Date B.
they know there's one missing one(date A). but they dunno which.
he trusts his pa too much. pulled off the prank with pa's help.
still gonna get confine though, for a seperate offense... lol.
i think its gonna be quite a few weekends in camp. i believe 4 or 5.
and i wont be alone. they are checking up on everyone.
thanks to this regular who played mc. and got posted to my work place.
thats why they started sweeping from my work place. suay.
oh well, i knew i was playing with fire, and that i would get burnt one day.
i think though, its really worth it. unless of cause, it interrupts my studies and my rs.
i'll find a way. already thought of a way. they dun check the cars.

2009-09-18T00:43:00.005+08:00

this no. 2's new pet. bought it in korea lol.
its a bearded dragon. still quite young.
according to him, it grows pretty fast, or rather, it grew pretty fast.
while they were looking for it though. somehting hilarious happened.
he went searching for it with our restaurant manager. lets call him A.
so they entered this shop selling fishes i think, aquarium.
they cant speak korean, and A had a tattoo of a kinda lizard on his wrist,
so he showed the tattoo and gestured where.
the korea guy replied as though he understood, led them next door,
and pointed to a seahorse in the tank. A was like, ouch.
i really wonder what does his tattoo look like.
and marcus has an ear ring now, he had a piercing back in poly, but he closed it,
my dad demanded it be removed. lol. now though, he's old enough.
the thing is, he has the exact same one as mine. the black one with a silver cross on it.

okie this is the dream car No.1

the way the hard tops of the 3 cabrio and this Z4 folds and unfolds,

reminds me of some kinda transformer thing in slow mo.

this is the dream car number 2.

though of cause, it isn't practical at all in sg.

if i live in aussie, i would most likely get it lol.

but oh wait, the brand's being taken over by some china coy.

designed in america, made in china?

alright, rides of the future. all these are the enviromental friendly cars.

yup. and this one's the concept car. vision or sth like that.

if its out in the market. it would surely be a hit. lol.

its wow. she's a beauty. not as beautiful as yq though tsktsk.

yq i know u are reading this. let me guess.

u would most like go, haiyo. and TRY to roll ur eyes :P

okay, drove martin's honda civic to yishun today.

wanted to deposit some cash into my uob account.

i was rushing a little cause i knew martin needed the car.

nearing home, there's this filter lane that i need to take.

it was already yellow, didnt wanna wait at the filter lane exit, for the other cars.

so i stepped on the gas. usually, i can take that turn at 70 or 80 with no probs.

today, i took it around 50 to 60. and i heard the tires screech.

i was like wa lao, thats very sian man. hahahah.

its really like what my dad says, a tin can on wheels. lol.

anyway, that led to realise how safe and reliable the beamer is.

and also how much i missed it. power is there when u need it.

for emergency or for abuse lol. and its really really safe.

dun have to worry about it losing traction. okie sounds as though i am advertising lol.

but yeah, its a damn gd car to me. the beamer i mean.

two thumbs down to the honda. ;)

~~
power's there to abuse as well. reminds me of an incident.

about 3 to 5 months back. me and my friend were driving home.

***he drives a VW Passat, the older version. he's actually filthy rich.

has enough personal dough to buy an R8.***

so after turning right out of camp, there's another junction about 200m away.

and as usual it was red light. waited and waited.

then this blue mazda 3, came up behind me. will was on my left, center lane.

i was like, this mazda looks familiar. hmmm. okie nvm.

green light and we went off, took our time. slowly picked up speed and all.

we were already faster then the rest, and the mazda for some reason,

kept pushing me. i was like wth? engaged sports mode and zoooom.

he was far far far behind hahaha. next day in camp.

will was like, dude the car behind u yesterday? that blue mazda?

i think it was BSM's car lol. i was like, oh no wonder it looks so familiar.

then will went on to say how idiotic it was of him to push a better car.

and relate his experience with BSM, lousy experience.

BSM isn't a gd driver lol. BSM's sergent major. i am not sure what does B represent.

not in this unit yup. should be Battery though, since its artillery.

2009-09-08T00:15:00.000+08:00

as usual, blogger is screwing up. same as facebook and hotmail.
anyway, ya, because blogger has been screwing up regularly.
i haven't been blogging as well.
must give them credit for being so committed to screwing up.
hmm oh well. learnt some new things recently.
the character 议 in my name means to criticise or to discuss.
apparently, ours names were chosen for a specific reason. by our father's sister's father in law.
he was supposed to be some one who could read fortunes, spiritual world kinda stuffs.
so anyway, he said that we 4 bros needed to have a sense of unity or sth like that.
therefore, 李和~. unity among us. the third character. is what we need.
so for me, i googled it. i guess i need communication. which isn't my style lol.
i am the kind, i say u do. yeah. hmmm. and also, there's this chap "personality".
so we did exercises to find out about our own personalities.
i am a type A-, scored 105 pts, for the machia thingy. the niccolo machiavelli fellow.
~~
another machia quiz, how machiavellian are u hehe. average american adult's 25 pts.
i scored 31 pts. yeah. about 30% of us scored above 30pts
~~
HAHA i scored a pt lower then the lecturer for self esteem, 84/100.
supposedly higher the better. and the rest were 69 and below.
~~
for "are u a high self monitor?" quiz. 53 pointers are defined as high self monitors.
i am one point short. lol. omg.
~~
for the assessment of our locus of control. i scored 10/10. which = high internal locus of control.
internals are people who believe they are the master of their own fate. sth like that.
yeah, i believe fate is a consequence of our actions. there is no such thing as destiny/fate.
~~
for the 4 main styles, i scored;
32 pts - Directing, 26 pts - Influencing, 10 pts - Steady, 23 pts - Cautious
meaning i prefer a more dominating / influencial approach
~~
and this is some quiz from facebook. what mask do u wear around others.
***"The Mask of Shadows" signifies that you are withholding something deep and mysterious. Whet...her it be that you have a dark secret or are just plain hard to understand, this mask represents a person shrouded in mystery. The people behind this mask never let their true selves show to anyone under any circumstances, unless they are absolutely sure that they can trust them.***
hmmmm, quite true i guess. cause there's this side of me that right now,
only 颖卿 gets to see hahaha. i think its pretty tiring to handle that side of me.
its like an infinite energy source. always exploding into a myriad of colors.
quite cranky. might be dull one moment, yet within the hr, i'll be back to life lol.
only she truely knows it lol. not easy to handle yup yup.
wonder where she finds the strength to carry on lol. oh well.
thats makes the one who can handle me, special.

2009-08-31T10:55:00.002+08:00

ok i really think that i may be grounded already hahaha.

not hen pecked but securely leashed already lol.

i dun feel its a bad thing cause i am allowing it to happen anyway.

its good that she manages to hold me to her so well,

yet not make me feel hen pecked or strangulated haha.

taming the mustang lol. ya kinda amazing.

i guess she succeeded where the others failed.

never thought this day would come so soon. not that i dread it hahah.

she's a real darling. yup lol.

2009-08-23T01:08:00.008+08:00

will you look at that, what a mess.
so yeah, i decided to clean it up. the once in a while maintainence thing.

quite a big difference right? dumped some stuffs.

like 3 small boxes. ya, and a few other stuffs. those wires.

so yup. everything looks neater too, after re-organising.

love to keep things organised. wanna print a picture of darling yeah.

hang it in front of my com. cause there's like the 3M hook there.

the puzzle used to be there, but i took it down, cause i re-arranged some stuffs.

so yeah, gonna print a pic, then frame it up.

and i received more post cards from her lol. really sweet ones.

this blog is getting rusty, i beinging to like, blog about what i do.

i used to blog occassionally about my thoughts. seldom do that nowadays.

shall change soon yup. switch back.

2009-08-15T22:59:00.006+08:00

tonight i am feeling really happy.

because with this lost, i found something else.

simple words but they had a great impact on me.

"i'll always be by u"

"we can take the public transport together n i can hold both ur hands"

yeah. lol. what more can a guy ask for then to have a gal that will stand by him.

i really feel so so fortunate that i have her as my gf.

thanks ying qing, for everything =)

wanna clear the car tomorrow morning.

retrieve the necessary documents for the car. dig out the insurance and everything.

take some pictures with the car. i have to admit,

though i am super ready to let it go. and i suggested it a couple of times to dad,

i do feel a pang in my heart. yup.

then again, this is life. there are ups and downs. just gotta ride the waves.

for now, its back to public transport. lol.

and at least, i wont be getting those stares and comments. really hate them.

oh, and when she's back, i get to hold both her hands while we travel lol.

sigh, that car holds quite some memories for me.

hahah the first car that i drove with my gf holding on to one hand all the time lol.

the left hand. that meant that i cant use the signal lights/high beam/cruise control.

lol dangerous lol. but yeah. oh well. hahahaha.

so long my darling beamer. i think she'll be gone within a week.

2009-08-14T19:54:00.002+08:00

this was what was prescribed to me.

the instructions are kinda hard to follow.

3 farts of warm water.

2009-08-12T22:33:00.002+08:00

okie, i spent like 153 USD and like 30 euros already.
since like 4 to 6 months back. to buy the piercing stuffs i wanted.
they dun carry some of it in sg thats why.
even if they do, its like 2 times the price so yeah.
thats amounts to like roughly 250SGD. lol. quite a bit.

needa find a picture to replace the one for the archives section.
as a back ground picture kinda thing.
as usual, i wanna use a monochrome picture. yup.
really should get a pic of a butterfly, B&W pic.
except for the butterfly.
and i really miss her. hmmm.

2009-08-08T13:45:00.001+08:00

okay i cant blog on IE for some reason. so i am using safari.

hmm, chatting with YQ while i am typing this out, so this would be short.

apologies for the font size if its pretty small, i cant adjust it.

road works are going on, like just at our door step. pretty noisy.

i love watching them work though. fasinating. lotsa coordination involved.

and at least u get some sort of crash course as to how roads are laid,

how they cut a layer, and lay another layer. yup. and the workers are really good at handling their equipment.

yup, respect them. what we say in army. damn zai, up sia.

okay love is a beautiful thing, but yeah, it sometimes hurt to love.

thats life right? hahha. nothing happened between us dont worry.

and i am back on track haha, YESH. so glad. received her letter like, yesterday yup.

immediately opened it when i entered the house, just sat on the living floor and read it.

and i was pulled back to her again. there's something different about this rs.

u can say that every rs is different. this one though, is extra ordinarily unique.

everything is slow and steady. which is good. speeding kills. as my other rs haven proven. lol.

okay i am pretty tempted to monkey around, yeah, keeping in check though.

yeah i guess this is all. haha.

cant wait for her next letter to arrive. i am starting the butterfly series soon. =)

2009-08-05T22:11:00.002+08:00

hmm, i cant believe i did what i did.
and the other thing, the animal in me is back.
its like a seasonal thing or something.
the hunt for the game, is back.
so far, i have got like not one but a few targets. all in progress already.
a bit crazy. there's shouldn't even be one.
whats the worst part? we just got our hands our some mean equipment.
aphrodisiacs. one's like a perfume, the other can be like,
mixed with food and drinks. crazily mean stuff.
BUT YEAH, THERE SHOULDN"T EVEN BE A TARGET!!!
arghhhhh. once an animal tastes blood, it never settles for less.
control, must control!!

2009-08-03T00:12:00.002+08:00

just some pictures yup.

this blog is back online hahah.

anyway, these pics were from the YEC thingy last last sunday.

took it for a reason anyhow.

okay, gonna slp, tired.

if u r reading this ashley, i love u ;)

2009-08-01T11:48:00.002+08:00

thats ouch hahah. jumped up by 500 sms.
i really needa get that free sms army boi plan. yup.

okie thats my new printer.
and i have received the letter hahah. first of many to come.
it takes like 5 or 6 days for mine to reach her.
it takes only 4 days for hers to reach me O.0

okie i am broke again hahah. like like $4 & $2.4 in both accounts lol.
i am dry. super dry this month.
9 more days and my allowance would be in again lol.
okay i am hooked onto the Carpenters & Queen. yup.
especially the song, Please mr postman lol. find it pretty similiar to our situation lol.
i didn't realise that mailing or snail mailing as she calls it, could be this nice.
the effort involved yup. its not just a few pieces of A4 paper lol.
sent like, an SD memory card of some songs &
a video of what i had to say since we cant web cam. photos. yeah.
hmmm, the next big one is still on going. it involves our friends lol.
a tiny bit from everyone, yup. makes a big difference in another's life.
--
--
okay, i got my tongue repierced for the 3rd time. at 14g.
needa get a shorter barbell/post when its healed. and a plastic retainer.
cant help it, i like the tongue piercing, its really fun to kiss with.
and nope, darling didnt nag me down or like got super pissed.
though i know she doesn't approve of it yup.
she's really understanding. as long as i dun over do things, she's okay with it.
we still need our own freedom in a relationship, to do what we want.
thats where we learn to give and take, compromise.
and i have switched to a 10g cbr for my pa.
previously stretched it to 10g already, but due to some error,
i used a 12g cbr instead. yup. the supposed 12g curved barbell was actually 10g.
so i was right all along. only thing is, i think it'll be like 8g within a year.
just a heads up for the sizes, in diameter.
14g = 1.6mm
12g = 2.0mm
10g = 2.5mm
8g = 3.2mm
yup, its isn't uniform, it increases, erm, exponentially? i think thats the word.
still wanna repierce my upper frenum. yeah. thats on my own.
dunno how many will i actually get in the end, but they would all be at 10g.
making everything uniform, saves cost.
leonard's been asking me to pierce our nipples together.
i am like no way... nipple piercing hurts like F*** and its pretty obvious.
unless of cause, you wear a bra.
--
--
okay i shall post more pictures in time to come.
haven been blogging cause something went wrong with blogger.
at least blogger for me. yup.

2009-07-11T11:32:00.002+08:00

alright the 750li & the M3's gone.
thats nearly a mil. and in comes martin/family new car.
its a honda civic 2 litres. comes with pedal shift. omg hahah.
thats a fast car, given that honda cars are light weight.
so yeah, light weight plus a good enough engine. wooo. lol.
think that car's accelaration may be faster then mine.
anyway spoke to her dad the other day, he didnt like me driving this car.
see another reason to down grade.
and i really feel yucks at the looks i get from others.
its like what i told the dad, too high profile.
spoke to my dad about it.
anyway, i'll propose to my dad in like 8 months time.
change my beamer with martin's honda. if martin doesn't mind a second hand haha.
i dun think he would as long as its a beamer.
last round i asked him, he was like, really ar =)
can work things out i guess, shouldn't be a problem.
just wanna lead a simple life till i can really afford luxuries on my own.

2009-06-27T11:43:00.000+08:00

okie i am taken hahaha. by this really sweet girl.
she's really cute/adorable as well. what do i see in her?
well, that one's hard to describe cause that's surely not what you would be able to see.
its this other side of her. a different side of her.
hahah, there's only one thing, which actually isn't an issue.
i cant go more than 60 off the expressway, and not more then 90 on.
its always drive safely:) haha. she's gonna make me a safe driver lol

2009-06-14T21:09:00.001+08:00

man i really dont like taking out some one elses shit for them.
its dumb fuck and it sucks to the core.
who came out up with the idea anyway.

2009-06-14T01:06:00.003+08:00

ying qing's dog, simba. pic not taken by me.

its damn cute lol. its from her facebook.

yes! she has a facebook account already. hahahah.

i think i may have broken my own "rules of engagement"

i am contacting a target that doesn't meet some of my major criterias.

its not like i am falling head over heels for the girl.

there's this tiny little factor that attracts me.

not sure if it will grow but i hope not. cause the time ain't right.

and i am beginning to have those silly thoughts again.

those "in the future" peeks kinda thoughts. those happy fairy tale thoughts.

castles in the air, or day dreaming, or what ever you wanna call it.

right now, i just want a little more then what we are enjoying with each other.

2009-06-08T23:18:00.003+08:00

its OM F***ING GOSH.
service was really bad. initially i thought it was just Bworld.
now its accent as well. last week, i called both.
B said to call later in the evening at 7 cause their boss would be there,
i did, no one picked up. called again next day noon.
reply was, "i thought i told you to call in the evening yesterday?"
decided i would do business with another even if it was hundreds more.
accent today was like.
"we do not have any stock at the moment, neither does the factory."
so, how do i like, make an order, like to put my name in the queue or something.
"find someone that has stock loh"
what the fuck?
did some more recce on the internet, found out i can get it in at around 6.4
pretty much cheaper then accent's price in 06, that was a cool 7k.
--
--
MoBa looks cool.
not getting it though. its gonna have to be from my own pocket.
which at the moment, is empty hahah. fuel's like 300 a month.
so yeah hahah. MoBa would cost me 275USD.
around 400SGD. thats nearly my one month's allowance.
gotta use the cash to send my clar for some servicing first.
and guess what. this model's no longer on leblanc's webbie.
its off its list of clarinets lol. ouch.
no plans to change it at all though. i really love this one.
oh yeah, it was my 18th birthday present.

2009-06-07T20:20:00.002+08:00

okie, i am seriously considering down grading.
as in, the vehicle that i am given to drive.
of cause not like now. rather, when the time comes, when this one's ready to go.
i wanna down grade to something like a honda.
something low profile. something that has a low maintenence cost.
its one thing to look good, its another thing to be able to maintain.
not just maintain, but to maintain with ease.
i dun really like the high profile thing anyway. too much unwanted attention.
the only 2 things about this car i love are.
it has a pretty strong engine and, it looks great.

2009-06-02T22:21:00.003+08:00

i think i have approval for an 8k present HAHAHA.
so maybe my clarinet's gonna take a side seat for a while, after concert.
anyway, gonna send it in for servicing.
and what the hell, the bloody poofy.
he pee-d on my boots and it stinks.
i guess cause it was quite a while before i discovered it.

2009-06-01T22:53:00.002+08:00

there are 4 of them?
hahah. not that i am interested in any of them.
just eye candies for the certain place/time i am with them.
sort of like, toned down alot already.
like, not that into all the fun stuffs and alot of other things anymore.
all the bad stuff. bad bad boy. no luh lol.
there's still one of two "bad" things i wanna do.
just for the fun of it, i just wanna experience it.
and there's one thing that i really yearn for right now.
in fact, sometimes i even day dream about it lol.
and further in time as well, like what it could lead to in the future.
i really want some one in my life now, more then ever.
i guess the criterias have more or less been settled.
lets give it 90%. the rest of the 10% left for change, since its the only constant.
i am 21 this year, shit.

2009-05-28T21:04:00.000+08:00

check out the size of that hole in my socks...
thanks to the damn gutters...lol

2009-05-26T18:06:00.002+08:00

stayed home on monday night, thx to my younger sis.
booked in at 1040pm, took my shower, was preparing to sleep.
and then, she called @ 1120, eh mitchell can fetch me home.
i was like ?!?!?! go out to work and you cant return home on ur own?
she said that it was quite ulu there, so she was a bit scared to come home on her own.
my eldest bro couldn't take her home cause he was at the other end of the island,
and he just knocked off, too tired.
she couldn't cab back cause she didn't have enough cash.
she works at ashtons, balestia.
anyway, i said no at first. couldn't arrange for her to get home.
discussed with my bunk mates, went to pick her up.
stayed out for the night, illegally.
the things a younger sis can make her bro do, irritating lol.

2009-05-24T21:49:00.002+08:00

there's this devil in me that i am battling.
its a common devil in most of us guys i guess.
its just that, mine has gone a step further, like a minority of us.
it uses its brains to try and get what it wants.
plots and all. tricks and seduces. its horrible, really horrible.
shouldn't have let it get out of hand since the very beginning.
shouldn't even have nurtured it.
now how do i slay this beast in me.
or at least keep it in chains.

2009-05-19T22:42:00.002+08:00

got kinda lost for a short while after updating the catalogue.
got kinda mixed up with some figures.
just gave my gal a wash. yet to dry her though.
i dont have the time. slightly busier for the past week.
didnt exercise much also. as gd as zero.
what else? hmm. boss aint in sg. thats good.
cause all she does when she enters the store, late, is too nag.
then leave store straight after that. anything goes wrong, we get arrowed.
thats okay, i am left with 10 more months heehee.
got myself a new phone. an E51 non cam.
cause my original phone, took a few baths with me, it didnt get wet directly.
started to go a little crazy, on and off by its own. pretty dangerous for me.
strangely, it didn't cock up like this back then.
when i went chionging under the rain with it in my pocket or pouches.
and it was really wet then. i miss my friends.
gotta try and cut down on my expenditure though.
left with 40 odd till 10 of june. and shit.
i cant play with mother band for their july concert.
thats the last lesson before my exam, all the exam tips and all.
plus its b-day. so yeah, i have to be home asap. not to mention work. arghh.
shall try and make it for the next one. hopefully i can find a solution though.

2009-05-11T14:33:00.003+08:00

alright, found out something interesting yesterday afternoon.
while waiting for my dad, martin and my mother started chatting in the back seat.
martin asked if we had links to the peranakan culture.
cause quite some stuff looked really familiar to him
when his class went for this heritage tour. so here goes.
lets just use P for peranakan.
on my dad's side, my great grandmother's a P.
i used to wonder why was my grandma wearing the P kinda dressing style for her wedding pic. at that time, i didnt know it was a P style lol.
the P was lost at my dad's generation.
my mum's side. indonesian chinese. got P and baba and dunno what luh.
anyway, my great grandpa, used to be in the logistics side as well.
for shell. the petrol company. supposedly,
they were quite influencial and needless to say, filthy rich.
went over to malacca, and during the war, went some where.

there's 4 family pictures, those big framed up kind. that's been shipped to,
one of my grand aunt's house in canada. cause no one wanted to claim it,
and her american husband said it was a waste, why not they keep it.
anyway, upon learning about that, me and martin were like,
wth, can we have it back? for a host of reasons luh.
cause its like the only connection we have left to our ancestors lol.
not only that, thats who we really are. and those r our great grand parents and
whoever was from that generation. and i dont believe that a bunch of abc's
would bothered that much about the pic already anyway.
gotta get the pics back before my mum dies muahahahah.
oh by the way, its not like in the show where they are all smiling.
its really just very simple. in their formal traditional wear, no smiles.
just rigid kinda thing. supposedly,
it was because it was pretty ex to take big pics back then.
so they wanted to treat it as like a serious affair. and made sure it was done right.

anyway, with regards to the huge family fortune.
great grand dad passed it down to his son, natural.
my mother's mum was his daughter. girls dun get much.
then my grandma's brother, who inherited the fortune,
passed it down to his sons.
one was officially disowned, announced through the papers.
for twice embezzling the company's funds.
the other son didn't wanna take over the business,
he wanted to carve out his own career.
i have no idea what the hell happen to the business already. think it gone hahaha.
that's one helluva big fortune.

2009-05-11T01:03:00.002+08:00

alright, its now 0104hrs.
just spent about 1 to 1.5hrs studying.
read the text book, just bought - as recommended by the lecturer,
alongside with the study guide provided.
its basically an exploded version of the study guide,
with alot more stuffs of course.
eyes are tired due to the lighting being directly over head.
pages kept reflecting off the lights.
i felt kinda lost when i flipped open the text book.
first time in 2 plus years, that i opened a book to study.
it was like horror before my eyes, millions of words and diagrams saying:
hi mitch, we're backkkkk!!!!
tomorrow's plans;
study a bit more, maybe work out a bit, then hit the books again.
prepare my stuff for book in, head to mdis,
head back home, wash up, then bk in.

2009-05-10T22:43:00.004+08:00

Genesis Chap 2, verse 23 -
Then the man said:
"At last, here is one of my own kind -
bone taken from my bone, and flesh from my flesh.
'Woman' is her name because she was taken out of man."
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife,
and they become one.

and the antibiotics are making me feel weird...
took it with tea, this mixture has a strange effect on me,
feel like i am drained of all my energy...
its okie when i take it with water though...

2009-05-07T21:51:00.003+08:00

maybe i am experiencing stress due to studies for the first time.
if not, its just so rare, that i cant remember the feeling at all.
lol. its this weird panicky feeling.
find my mind throwing tons of questions at me.
also, i find myself trying to study, memorise/read what ever i can.
and then, close the book, lie back down on my bed.
turn left or right, sit back up, flip open the damn book again.
maybe its because i am so damn bored in camp after office hours.
that the only things i can do are, watch tv, exercise, study and sneak out of camp.

2009-05-05T20:59:00.002+08:00

ahhh vanessa past a comment during dinner.
there was just martin, vanessa and i.
anyway, she said i am gettting fat hahaha, i have a tummy.
"first time i see one of my bros with a tummy"
WTH !!!!?!?!??!?!!
okie luh, i have only been doing static work outs.
starting skipping already though.

okay, i am beginning to wonder if what fiona said, is true.
scored two hits in school already.
hmm, second glances. FROM the OPPOSITE gender.
used to have some problems with other feminine guys.
girls nowadays, not shy le, but i like. lol.
nvm though, studies first.

2009-05-03T20:36:00.002+08:00

i believe this is the first time, since enlisting,
that i am gonna say this.
i am gonna book in to camp and i am dreading it.
i realised a few days ago why i loved army so much in the past.
it was because there was so much hands on jobs that kept me busy 24-7 lol.
now i am really dreading booking in.
life as a storeman maybe oh so relaxed,
but its the same reason that makes it oh so boring and dreadful.
there's nothing much to do.
ORD 13th march 10, its now, 3rd may 09.
i have, approximately 10 and a half months.
5 months ago, i was posted into this unit.
that's how long i didn't change my bed sheet as well :/

2009-05-02T23:43:00.002+08:00

just gave my babe a good wash down.
there's quite a number of water marks all over.
cant remove them, gotta let the shop handle it.
bought mac after that. 20 piece meal. shared with martin and vanessa.
oh, by the way, its only the three of us at home heehee.
the rest are in korea, save melvyn of cause.
nono, everything's under control though the goverment's not here.
didn't bring home any girls lol.

i love the curve barbell.

to nana.
sticks and stones can hurt my bones but words cannot hurt me.
many a times, we find people back stabbing us in life.
be it passer bys or people we treat as close friends.
that's life. dont let them get to you though.
there are many other better things in life,
and many other really precious things that really deserve our tears.
so yup, dont think too much about it.
dont feel to sad about it.
i'll be there for you if you need my ears, or eyes in our case. lol.
just send me an email :)

2009-05-01T22:32:00.001+08:00

alright, went up to 2mm.

woots finally got it stretched.

now its operationally ready hahaha.
okay, correction, operationally ready in like 2 to 4wks time at least.
means i cant fuck around till then.
which is like a good thing isn't it? lol

2009-04-28T19:36:00.002+08:00

woosh, there goes the first lesson.
thats 1 outta 10 hahah.
lesson was enjoyable. i was tired, yawned a bit, but i managed to keep awake.
i didn't even like drift anywhere near wonderland so yeah lol.
it felt really different as compared to lectures/classes in poly.
its not just an old faggot reading off the presentation slides.
maybe this fellow's method of teachings just different from the rest,
its really engaging. two way kinda thing.
hmmm, was kinda scary. not knowing what to expect.
and i went in with my magazine pouch as my pencil case, thats all.
i looked like a little boy there. i was really early, like 50 mins.
cause i was afraid that there would be a jam, so i literally sped all the way.
and i was also afraid that i wouldn't be able to find the class room.
thats why i planned to like, reach 20 mins in advance. but yeah, 50, lol.
the last time i attended class, was like 2 years ago at least.
felt so outta place there lol. well, not that bad afterall.

2009-04-26T21:23:00.003+08:00

sat night was well fun to a certain extend.
no i wasn't bored, surprisingly. maybe it was because of her?
spending time just being around her, sort of made it all worth it.
maybe it was also due to the fact that i she was "in my care"
and that i was to make sure she got home safely lol.
anyway, even if i didn't receive those "instructions"
i would have done so anyway lol.
its a kinda grow on feeling,
not a love at first sight kinda thing, its not love by the way.
i could do that for the rest of my life and i wouldn't mind lol.
11 more weeks till the next meeting lol.

2009-04-23T22:19:00.002+08:00

woots their extended make shift roof, zinc panels,
were blown off last night hahah. got itself stucked on the tree beside the hut.
like watching an invisible hand flip the page of a super big book.
i was like, eh their roof is flying!! HAHAHA.
poor workers though, thats their canteen, all thanks to the wind.

after replacing the zinc panels back as a roof.

alright, got myself 3 days worth of mc, wed to fri.
i sprained/strained my lower back muscle while at work on tue.
now i am useless again. cant do much.
trying to avoid moving around too much,
so i cant even give my gal a scrub down.
thinking of getting another piercing, this one's kinda blurred, its classification.
its surface, yet its near the genitals, at the pubic mound.
so yeah, its just commonly known as the pubic piercing.
another one below the belt heehee.
alright shall continue some other time.

2009-04-19T21:17:00.002+08:00

this was back in,
suffer in silence plus extra confinement.
take out the first alphabet for the word.
one of the few occassions we get to enjoy lol.

alright going back in soon.

school's starting on monday.

woots cant wait hahah.

and its funny, its not that i like fiona or what.

funny cause i am treating her like a younger sister lol.

the other matter,

everything should be up at running by the time i am out of army.

my diploma should be done by then.

which means, i would be helping out at the restaurant,

and if my results permit, studying for degree at the same time.

sounds good.

its gonna rain soon. big time. like a storm.

lightning's flashing all across the sky.

no thunder yet though. not a single drop or rain as well.

if it does rain however, tomorrow's gonna be a super hot day.

2009-04-18T23:59:00.002+08:00

and wa la. here they are.

2009-04-16T18:38:00.002+08:00

took this at starbucks on monday.
yes monday heehee. MC.

i don't understand some people really.
they like to put others down, be a wet blanket and all.
what, inferiority complex?
thats why they have to keep finding ways to comfort themselves?
by saying things that make others seem below them?
i dunno, cant be bothered to entertain that kinda stuff.
i have better things to do, like work,
and there are better people around, like the one up there.
things that mattter the least, if only they dont exist.
--
--
--
went jogging with jason and xiao de on wed night.
then gym. jason couldn't catch up, i can still do a minimum of 1.5km, run.
lost quite some stamina of cause.
and so, i'll be taking part in whatever runs the unit has every week.
needa rebuild my stamina.
xiao de needs to pass his IPPT, so yeah, we were training with him.
--
--
--
and woots, our stuffs came in.
my two rings and her star stud naval barbell.
this one's good. good for business. lol.

2009-04-12T22:55:00.003+08:00

would be nice if these could be displayed with the sword.

just too bad the display case ain't big enough.

looks squeezy.

Back Of House Manual.

found this on the net, about my jigsaw.

Kagaya's portrayal of the Southern Cross, one of the stations visited on the fantasy journey in Ginga tetsudô no yoru by Miyazawa Kenji, probably best known in the West from the anime film "Night on the Galactic Railroad." Kagaya's image makes it reminiscent of a Christian cross, but in the story this is the small constellation of the southern hemisphere, properly known as Crux.

2009-04-11T21:15:00.004+08:00

that's fiona. one of my, better than friend lol.
anyway, she came back from aussie on the 9th.
so yeap, just met up with her, brought her around.
just did a little catching up.

was really bored...
was watching the excavators doing their work
when i saw the reflection.
took out my cam, got the shot.
its a reflection within another reflection.
thats 2 reflections caught in a shot.

this was out of boredom.

print screen lol

2009-04-07T21:33:00.002+08:00

she went oooo so many designs!!!

yeah, these are going at a really cheap price.

considering that sg shops sell the standard bars with two balls at each end for like,

40 over bucks per piece. depends on the gauge as well luh.

and i am dead bored..

2009-04-04T19:58:00.002+08:00

once again i find myself drifting aimlessly through time.
once again i find myself broke.
once again i find myself feeling lonely.
i need some sort of objective which i can work towards.
at least then, i would more or less have a direction.
know which path i wanna take.

everytime i decide to curb my spending.
find ways and means to keep it in check.
it gets worst and worst. i end up spending more.
and its usually on food and nowadays, petrol.
its the short distance driving that really burns,
cause of the amount of traffic junctions, starts and stops.
hummer gonna be no more. one dream car gone up in smoke lol.

i have that sudden feeling of getting my ear pierced again.
oh gosh. lol.
i really dont understand myself lol.
k, gonna work out, then at around 11, shall give my gal her bath!!

2009-03-29T00:05:00.002+08:00

familiar? lol.
i cant read the last word of the title, the one on the left.
some thing like, shooting eagle hero.
the one on the right is of cause, condor hero.
shooting eagle belongs to my bunk mate.
we watch it in bunk after our routine orders/last parade.
bought condor heros after bking out on fri.
i am halfway through already hahah, chiong.
one of my favorite serial dramas.
sg one, F wong and C lee. plus The Price of Peace.
k, i may not understand a few of the words spoken.
cause its really too chim to me, those few words lol.
still, i am able to figure out haha a bit here and there for every sentence.

2009-03-26T19:48:00.002+08:00

at home now, obviously.
really wanna try something.
just hang out at star bucks or something one day.
have a few cups of coffee, do my stuff on my laptop there.
of cause, that's only gonna be the case on a week end,
and maybe only after school starts.

hmmm, having this weird feeling about school.
its this anxious feeling, full of anticipation.
like my first day at sispec and bmt, wondering whats gonna happen next.
its kinda like, those feelings vs the negative side.
like, will i do badly again? will i be able to really pull myself through?
that kinda thing. its a really funny feeling.

2009-03-21T23:14:00.002+08:00

went clubbing friday night.
hooked up two girls. hmmm, tan, sky, eddie and me.
cedric was there too, most of the time though he was entertaining the swedish.
pretty memorable first clubbing night together, for the 4 of us haha.
there was a fight, not a real fight. just that tan got a punch.
bouncers took eddie, him, and the whole malay group out of the club. back exit.
bouncers let tan and eddie off, malay group got into some problem.
wouldn't have been much of a problem anyway,
cause cedric knows the club manager. pull some strings.
well the two girls are, childish and very navie. 21 and 19.
cant stand the both of them actually.
tan and sky though were just looking for a fun time ahhaha.
headed to geylang for breakfast after that. around 530 - 630
had cold soya bean with taiwan noodles.
saw some chicks ( u know wad i mean ) there. really attractive i must admit.
not those freelance kind, they are those that's linked to a pimp.
supposedly the better types. no intention to try them out though.
rich or poor, single or attached, not now not anytime in the future. lol.

2009-03-19T10:08:00.006+08:00

okie celebrated uncle birthday at long beach.
that was tuesday night. food was pretty good.
the crab mifen thing isn't that nice actually. its very ordinary.
maybe cause we had the chilli crab already.
and this desert, bottom pic, taste like crap if u ask me.

geoducks for girls that cant get a guy... tsktsk

thats my damn tooth HAHA.

okay why stupid dentist? simple.

first MA, 3om, after explaining to the dentist,

she took a look and said, oh thats tata (dunno whats the spelling).

everything done, went back home.

because it wasn't wisdom tooth, no surgery, no mc.

created alot of problem on my army side.

nvm, while i was at home, i realised the damn thing was still there.

called up the clinic, told me to be there at around 630pm.

so i was there, explained, checked, oh ya, thats a wisdom there.

k she overlooked it. human to error, but not an excuse given that she's a lao jiao.

anyway, got it removed, 5 days MC starting yesterday. woots.

plus an MA on wed hahaha.

2009-03-17T22:35:00.003+08:00

haiz, some people just dont get it.
it doesn't matter whether or not you really have a 900hp STI.
thing is, no matter how much you modify the damn thing,
its still just a common jap car.
really find it pretty irritating when people insist we check it out.
there's nothing to prove.
what does it matter or change whether people believe you or not.
anyway, lucky its the end of course.
if he really brought his STI here, tp would have a tip off.
i hate loud noisy hollow noise making engines.
its nothing compare to a good solid note.

2009-03-16T22:53:00.002+08:00

updates updates.
shit, i should have taken mc today.
firstly cause today was a waste of time, we were doing nth half the time.
secondly, because my stomach was grumbling quite frequently.
thirdly, i would have been able to make payment at MDIS.
next update.
gonna settle my upper right wisdom tooth asap.
was wondering all these months why does it hurt when i chew
solid food with my right back teeth.
got worst a couple of days back, stuck my finger in and, ooo. okay.
shall check out some stuffs, hopefully i can get it done on wednesday.
then i can settle the MDIS bill and my new traffic police fine during my MC duration.
yes, the third update.
3 points and a 120 dollars fine.
for parking on a zig zagged yellow line tsktsk.
and that was on feb 27. i just received it today.
fourth update.
uh huh, i have a one month 3 days old prince albert piercing.
and its healing well. just needa get this current ring replaced.
the curve barbell would be better since its not so thin.

2009-03-15T22:45:00.003+08:00

2009-03-11T21:19:00.002+08:00

pebbles and yogi got into a fight about 3 days back.
of cause yogi won. to break the fight, marcus threw his glass cup.
of cause it shatter, yogi has a cut above the eye.
cant blame him, guess it was a desperate move.
as for pebbles, well, the bite was so strong,
she has a 1cm deep hole in the head, right in the middle.
yeah, yogi's tooth penetrated the skull quite a bit i think.
vet said she was lucky cause usually,
dogs like yogi would start yanking/pulling once their bite has "anchored"
i think pebble's head would be some where else then.
maybe the flying glass save pebbles.

omg, porsche porsche.
really beautiful. it ain't just a machine alright.
car's like these are a work of art.
an a girl friend that usually doesn't give problems.
though like most girls, they burn quite a hole in the pocket.

2009-03-10T23:38:00.002+08:00

tomorrow's schedule.
heading down to amk central to meet the group at 7.
have breakfast, head to the poly clinic, tsktsk.
gonna head down to stuttgart auto.
and maybe 2 of the other show rooms in area.
and out we go to other places as well.

yes, stuttgart auto.
chew has his eyes on a porsche. real idiotic.
has his license for just a month, but has years of driving experience. lol.
his mum drives an SLK. hip eh.
there's this idiot in the course, we call him dua bao / STI.
we were chatting about cars when he suddenly interrupted again.
as usual, started to brag again. so i just played on. we were enjoying ourselves luh.
at one point of time, he said he modified his subaru sti till it has 900 over HP.
then when i ask chew what does his mum drive since his dad doesn't.
he said slk, and the other fellow went.
* with one hand on an adject chair, legs wide open*
my mother more kao lak. she drive bi turbo supra.
my malaysian friend, *on the spot peng*

just gave my gf a wash. there are quite alot of water marks.
rain water evaporated under the sun here and there and every where.
intended to make a trip down to MDIS at queenstown after car hunting.
change of plans already. dad isn't gonna write the cheque tonight.
think the cash flow some where's stuck for the next 2 or 3 days.
that's gonna be a problem for me. clash of schedules.
come to think of it,
kinda embarassing to have my dad accompany me to make payment.
the last time my dad accompanied me to do something that was my job,
it was during enlistment day. and i felt so little boy with parents tagging behind me.
its a little scary to be thrown into a situation for the first time.
yet its also kinda fun. and its the best way to learn how to be independent.
i always find myself anxious when i am about to encounter such a situation,
however i always find myself savoring the experience in the end.

Lam has panic disorder, something like that.
i have no idea how serious such an illness is.
anyway, today after lunch, he had an attack.
master sgt had me help lam to the road side where he then picked us up.
went to medical center. i was like prety calm.
told the medics, my friend just had an anxiety attack.
woosh, the medics ran out from behind the counter.
i was like whats happening? hahaha. anyway, he was pretty stiff.
muscle tensed up i guess, plus he was shivering when i help him up.
not a very severe case but yeah.
got pissed at the master sgt actually.
lam was being tended to by the mo and medics.
msg walked over saw him and just sort of like gave a super shot laugh.
that kinda i dun believe this, kinda short laugh.
i saw that, then realised my fuse blew. was thinking to myself,
that's your trainee in there suffering, whats so funny about that?
really dun understand whats on their minds at times.
asked if i was from a combat unit last time.
i said yes, how did u figure that out?
if he checked my back ground, he wouldn't have asked.
cause everything on the com's a fact sheet about me.
he said, from the way you handle the men.
i cant tell the difference. only thing is that i demand more regimentation.

2009-03-08T22:33:00.003+08:00

reflective, i like...

there's a layer of dust on it...

thats the result of two occassions of "kerbing"

can start a lighting store

the picture in the previous entry?

those were all M3s.

thats the starting grid for the F1.

i guess its good to taste a little hardship before enjoying life.

in our case, the so called from rags to riches.

it sort of like, enables us to be in the shoes of some of our friends.

especially nowadays, things are going down hill for quite alot of people.

its also kinda sucky to not be able to help my friends.

cause i am not the one with the cash.

and you wont just give out cash to your son's friend.

unless of cause, his parents are your close friends.

there's so much i wanna do yet i cant.

cause it all involves money.

be it alot or little, its money money money.

and thats something i really am lacking right now.

HAHAHA the X5 is going.

making way for the 7series.

and guess what? i may be cannibalising the X5's xenon lights.

if of cause, it fits my headlamp's housing.

gotta send the car to the work shop to get it done.

cant fit it on our own. some parts are in the way.

needa remove lotsa bolts and nuts.

think its 6000k or 8000k.

its white for sure. pretty bright.

cause of the height of the X5, it literally lights up the entire interior of the car in front.

for the same reason, cars always give way to it hahah.

2009-03-08T11:15:00.002+08:00

the first one should be dad's.
only the 2 car isn't an M3.
thats my guess luh, unless he replace that lower fin with a carbon fibre one.
--
--
hmmm. kinda addicted to the exhaust notes actually.
those sweet solid sounding ones.
maybe i'll buy a pair of xenons.
more blue-ish then white kind.

2009-03-07T22:53:00.002+08:00

just came back from a chat/drink supper session with weirip.
had two drinks, one bowl of bak cho mee, and a cup of barley.
nice nice hahaha.
wanted to rinse my car after our session.
but its 11 already. after waiting for it to cool, maybe 12?
so, change of plans. gonna do it tomorrow before reporting to camp.
rinse, cover up, then take the bus to camp hahah.
save money. save the car.

2009-03-05T22:01:00.002+08:00

updates updates

1st sgt appeared in her number 3.

*woof whistles*

okay luh, she's not that hot but being the only girl around,

thats of average standard, she becomes a WOW.

the guys were like, yes sergent. super nua kinda yes sergent.
mesmerized hahahah
i seriously couldn't be bothered, too sleepy.
my new pal tried to sian her. asked for her number so we could call her after class
regarding some questions hahah.
of cause we were all joking around, so was she.

gonna snap some pictures.
those patterns on the toilet wall tiles.
its like having a million faces staring at you when you are in the toilet.
for some reasons, to me, they are all faces of girls hahah.
those that i can identify. cause of the pattern creating that long flowing hair.

everyone's calling me corporal.
if not, its hey li. or eh li. or li. or eh sispec.
its really getting on my nerves.
they cant pronounce my name either.
thats why its li this and li that.
gonna take mc tomorrow heehee

2009-03-03T21:09:00.002+08:00

they usually tug the dog tags in their boots.
cause anything above the top of the boots are usually lost in a plane crash.

NYP concert.
think its called chrono werks. something like that.
should be werke rite?

2009-03-03T18:57:00.003+08:00

i think i may have shocked some of the trainees hahaha.
currently on course, the signal storeman course.
the other cpl that's supposed to be here, isn't.
the rest of the trainees are recs and privates.
they basically didn't complete bmt most of them.
there are two ICs, and cause i am the highest ranking there,
i was told to guide the two ICs. first day there, we had to march to lunch.
everything was so slack, we got stopped and basically told off.
after that told the IC that i would help him march us back.
after lunch, everyone straightened up when i gave the command haha.
my friend was like *thumbs up* yo shui zun.
now the master sergent knows me.
and the first sergent there's a little of an eye candy hahaha.

2009-02-28T11:10:00.002+08:00

the hole's a little stretched already.
slightly bigger. probably like 14 1/8g.
its 14g then 12g. there isn't a 13g for some reasons.
thats like within 14 days. think its on schedule.
the later the better though.

alright struck a deal with two of my bunk mates.
had this crazy idea while we were talking crap in bunk.
we decided to order some stuffs over the net.
and then, suddenly our other bunk mates started asking about it.
made a call to another bunk mate, he was interested as well.
so yeah, this shipment would be for the three of us for now.
just a little testing here and there. then maybe, if its good to go,
we'll really get it going. earn some side income.
its a resale kinda thing. luckily we chanced upon a cheap source.
like about 20USD below other sites.
and at least 50SGD cheaper than local stores.
the forums are pretty useful. apparently some of those guys advertising there,
they sell substandard items at pretty low prices.
actually substandard is an understatement. hahah, quite scary if you see it.
anyway, it this first shipment that would decide everything.

2009-02-24T19:59:00.003+08:00

sometimes i wish i can just undo what i have done in the past.
and if i could, i wouldn't have gotten into so many relationships.
would have taken those remaining relationships way more seriously.
i would have studied harder. i would have placed extra effort in wooing her.
i wouldn't have taken part in that darn basket ball match.
i wouldn't have admitted my feelings.
i wouldn't have rested my head on her lap.
and i wouldn't have gotten drunk those two times.
of cause now the only i would be able to change, is the future me.
i have got quite a bad reputation with the girls that know me already lol.
a good friend but a bad boyfriend.
now that everything's so rehearsed, i myself cant tell when its true.

2009-02-22T20:02:00.002+08:00

just read some stuffs on a forum.
there's this thread about piercings. lotsa people don't do their research.
anyway, he went to japan, got some piercings there.
didn't understand the aftercare instructions told to him cause they are jap.
came back and he used alcohol based solutions to clean his piercings.
and alot of the other users were like, use liao got kick means its good.
only one fellow adviced him to stop using alcohol, use saline solution.
which is the correct advise. freaky, cant understand how they can tahan.
they actually get a kick out of causing themselves pain.
oh wait, piercing doesn't hurt k,
its just for that split second when the needle goes through.
very much less painful then a jab, depending on what piercing.
so yeah, i am not one of those that enjoy pain.
--
--
oh guess what.
i am gonna bath my gf again at like 9pm.
good thing though, it was a long down pour.
rather then a drizzle which really sucks.
gonna spend another 2hrs on her like that.
friday - 10am to around 12:30pm - went for washing, waxing, polishing.
sat - night time, nearly 2hrs washing and polishing.
now its sunday. another 2 hrs.
oh yeah, at the shop, a few guys work on one babe at a time.
major gang bang. thats why its a quickie

2009-02-22T00:00:00.003+08:00

some people console themselves by saying, size doesn't matter.
well, wait till it starts to hurt.

alright, gf just took a bath.
actually, we took ours together. the hose got disconnected halfway.
its okay though. its fun bathing together hahah.
applies in a real situation as well.
water has this sort of like way to add to the romantic kinda feel.
try frenching under the rain, you wont regret that guys.
--
--
parents, bro 2 and 4 are still in japan.
apparently they are there to check out some japanese rims.
not sure whether its a business thingy or just for personal mods.
i think its fun though. to be able to travel to japan.
its a really beautiful country.
--
--
deus lo vult.
have no idea what language is that.
it means, God wills it.
--
--
while washing the car i started to think again.
dun need brains to wash a car.
funny thing actually. when i was in sec 2 or 3.
i wanted to grow up. as in be different.
carry myself differently from my male peers.
i succeeded a little i guess. for the dress code, i always preferred jeans and shoes.
not those kinda oversized or tapered skinny jeans. this has stayed.
its not a bad thing to be ahead of your peers in certain areas.
but what if we are way ahead? sort of like rapid aging eh? hahah.
i wonder what would it be like.
maybe, like that new movie in the cinemas?
about that guy born as an old fellow.

2009-02-20T23:57:00.001+08:00

just to add on to today's entry.
shot by melvyn at his friend's studio i think.
thats his italian rapier. spanish or italian, cant remember.

2009-02-20T23:28:00.002+08:00

gonna set up something to record my funds.
income and expenditure. spend on what and how much.
haven't really thought of how it should be done.
gonna get a rough one done out first, refine it over time.
the projected savings of at least 50 bucks for this month.
tehhhhhhhh no more no more haha. literally spent my money on food.
been eating alot during breaks in camp. like 8 dollars a day.
got myself a new toy just yesterday, 45 bucks.
just found out i can only use it in like 3 to 5 months time.
which isn't a bad thing. cause that would delay the next 45 bucks.
the only downside is the timing. purchased it at the wrong time.
gotta check my account balance tomorrow.
after paying everything, i reckon i've got like 30 bucks left till 10 march?
just needa jian fei a bit. eat less while in camp hahahah.

i think i have just bumped into a self identification crisis.
hmmm, yeah. maybe thats not the proper term to use.
it isn't really a crisis just dunch know whats the word
between a small prob and a big prob.
anyway, i guess i have got too much time on my hands.
started thinking, reflecting actually. on my actions and all.
and i realise that i have no reason to support quite some of those actions.
i have no idea where am i headed to as well.
a few days back, i was wondering to myself, shit, i am 21 this year.
yet i am not like a 21 year old. i really don't know how to explain this part.
in terms of behavior, character blah blah, i feel like i am a 18 year old kiddo.
i feel i have really under achieved dor some reasons.
things like studies, how i handle things under my responsibility,
things that by now, i should at least be on par with my peers.
the next other big problem i realised is. i cant feel for any girl already.
maybe the so call "right one", which i dont believe in, hasn't popped by.
this one's kinda inconvenient to elaborate here.
the other one is, i cant seem to stay still in what ever i do.
i am always on the move. its like a case of lack of commitment in some areas.
in others, its just the want, like an instinct, to keep moving on.
as though i am a nomad by nature.
lotsa things to sort out. lots and lots of things.
of cause though, i wont let these affect my mood.
it affects those around me. like those paladin's aura skills in diablo.

i hit a new speed record. hahaha.
k, not a fine or what, as in, the fastest speed i drove at.
140kmph. along mandai road.
another record set would be, the lowest km per litre of petrol hahha.
its now like 6.9km per litre.
marcus' car is a duo turbo 3.5 litre engine. he does about 7.5km per litre.
mine is just a 2.5 litre engine. i do 6.9km per litre. how bout that. hahah.
phewwwww. really gotta learn to keep my posb card at home.

2009-02-15T19:23:00.002+08:00

alright, i am feeling a little like crap now.
was worst this morning. woke up with all the phglems blocking everything.
oh yeah, for the third morning in a row.
i woke up at 0615hrs. exactly on the dot, according to my hp's clock.
drank hell alot of water. didnt wanna take medication, so yeah.
a few servings of 700ml already.

k back to V-Day. i didnt celebrate it.
huh? why? cause i spent V-Day in camp.
was mobilised at 7am. can u imagine. not knowing when it would end.
i cancelled my plans around 11am.
and they released us around 1230 -1300.
was pretty turned off by it. decided to get a game, stayed home and worked on it.
ended up gaming the whole of today as well.
post poned my plans to next weekend instead.
still have some things to settle.
my pay this month, 450. of whiched i have already burnt 210.
and a further 100 is going as well. that leaves me 140.
40 for petrol. gonna use it to settle everything at one shot next weekend.
the rest of the two wkends? game on sats, sun band.
that's all. should still be able to save at least 50.

2009-02-13T21:20:00.002+08:00

okie, this was nt the intended "shocker".
but yeah, its still quite a big one.
still kinda surprise myself that i actually did it hahah.
hmmm. its one secret that only a few know, that will never see the light of day.
quite pleased with it though.
i am gonna keep this one.

i had a sudden realisation today.
a few months ago, i dreamt that i was in my army uniform.
taking a ride down in a lift, from my bunk, to the ground floor.
at that point of time, i thought it funny.
cause why the hell would u need the lift even if bunk is at the 4th floor?
then this evening at around 520pm.
i was in the lift, when this other fellow entered.
and i was like, woah, this looks familiar.
and then i realised oh yeah, hmmm, no wonder.
my bunk's on the 6th floor by the way hahah.
this isn't the first time something like that has happened.
i am sure many of us has experienced something like that before lol.

i have notice a change in my sleeping habits.
its really very easy to wake me up. just a tap anywhere from some one.
sometimes, all my bunk mate needs to do is to call me
as though we were chatting. he doesn't need to shout.
rarer then those two though. my friend approaches my bed to wake me up.
before he can tap me, i am awake already.
as in, just open my eyes and i am looking at his direction.
that one's pretty rare. ahahha.

2009-02-12T18:40:00.002+08:00

back home again. having nights out.
came home to wash my car.
gonna do it in a 2 hrs time. then maybe meet the rest for supper.
its a boring day.

decided to stop working out for the next 10 days.
something's wrong with the right shoulder again.
got this stupid sharp pain and this bone rubbing noise.
i think i know what it is. dun wana see the doc though.
letting it heal on its own. shall see how again after these 10 days.

2009-02-10T18:59:00.003+08:00

many times in our life we feel down or left out like an outcast.
we feel like we lost our goals in life and that there's no one walking by our side.
i guess we should rethink that thought, check those emotions.
if we cant fight the mind games we unknowingly play on ourselves.
then at least we should remember that God's always by our side, always there for us.
a church friend once told me,
"whenever we face a problem in life, and we feel like we cant solve it,
just turn to God for guidence. one way or another, sooner or later,
he would reveal the path for you."
anyway, no father abandons his child in need, no mather how screwed either is.
and i feel disgusted having typed this paragraph, for some reasons.

pal blew up i guess. shot back. wasn't in theater so i missed the exchange.
wouldn't have been nice or interesting though it would be something different.
i guess we just have to be flexible with certain things.
everyone wants to get things done,
but everyone has their own way of acheiving the common objectives.
thats just a fact we have to live with. thats where being flexible comes in.
the exchange some how gives me this feeling that its all very fragile.
it was a very minor problem actually.
now wondering whats it gonna be next.
throw me that situation many months back, i would have lost my cool as well.
not that i had one then. nowadays though, i guess i would just sigh and walk away.
dont wanna quarrel anymore.
anyway, friends shouldn't be quarreling over such trival matter.
if you ask me though, i am siding with pal. not because he's pal,
but because it really was a small matter. personal preferences really.

should i shock us all?
HEEHEE

2009-02-08T23:50:00.004+08:00

exercised a little.
all this while i haven't actually gone full throttle.
probably 80%? the remaining 20%. its usually when i get crazy.
when there's a few of us doing it together.
either tekan session or OTOT gym.
anyway, it feels good. hahah. found out something earlier on.
pretty effective. shall do it again the next round.
maybe a few more times tomorrow morning and evening.
then its book it time. rest in camp. fri night, tekan myself again. haha.

today was a hot day.
felt like an uncle actually. wearing a singlet on the inside.
hahah. its served its purpose though.
gonna have to wear a singlet tomorrow morning.
its an order. hahah. bringing my cam.
see what pictures can i take.

suddenly i feel like this is the beginning of the turning point in my life.
one part of my life at least. changes here and there because of planning.
seems like minor changes to me, now.
yet i have this feeling that in the future, its gonna have a major difference.
not just on this one decision, its every other decision as a whole.

a friend commented that a junior was beautiful
and that i havent laid hands on her so thats like "ehhhh???" hahah.
nah, not every girl luh.
remember when we were young, we chose things cause they looked attractive?
after a while, as we matured, we chose performance over asthetics.
not totally, but more then asthetics. yeah.
for me now, its not the body kit. its more like, the processor.
i prefer a smart & decent looking car.
not one that has basic stuffs like ABS with the looks hahah.
in short, i am going for a scale that slightly tilted towards the intelligent babe. tsktsk.
its not a beautiful woman that makes a good wife, its a smart bitch. heeheehee
alright. nothing else. gonna wash my car soon.

2009-02-07T23:41:00.002+08:00

just had supper with melvyn.
had beef fried rice for myself.

i hate the fact that i can trust not one of my friends when it comes to money.
having a wide circle of friends is one thing.
having a handful of trust worthy friends is another.
its only recently that i realised, money was, is and will forever be,
the root to my greatest worry.

okay, i shall experiment with something.
wire mesh, most likely the metal BBQ kind, and cripplers.
flowering cripplers like morning glory. not sure if i got that under the right cat.
anyway, yeah. those with flowers. my balcony's kinda boring.

i have an idea. interesting one.
i'll keep two cars in the future, if i have the money.
one would be my really pure car.
the other, an ah beng car. with all the mods.
body kit/engine/wheels/exhaust mods. what ever you can think of.
even lightings under the car lol. just for the fun of it.

tomorrow's gonna be a hectic day.
gotta transfer money from my POSB to my UOB account.
get my hair cut. get my pass port size photos done. lunch.
get home, wash up. head to the CC for the damn performance.
maybe supper. head home. wash the car. exercise. wash up.
settle what ever online stuff i have to. sleep.
cause i gotta wake up early on monday. like 720.
okay thats not early actually. 5 would be early anything after 6's normal.
after 730's late actually. rush rush.

2009-02-06T21:22:00.002+08:00

okay had 3 cans of beer earlier on. 3 or 4.
didnt really keep track cause we were having fun joking around.
unit was celebrating CNY. so yeah.
hired some models to keep the guys company.
of cause, the girls went for the regulars with the bars on the shoulders.
bars and, craps, yikes hehehe. usual luh. ahhaha.

andrew's in the same unit, uh huh hahah.
saw him on wednesday, surprise surprise. great to find another friend in this camp.
apparently he was on 2 months MC, thats why i didnt see him around previously.
hung out together during celebration.
and then, after that, he asked, "wanna go night club not?"
it didnt register to me yet. i said, "okay who's coming along?"
"meeting my other friends luh, not army one."
then i was hmmmm, okay. and then i realised he said night club. not club.
"what you mean night club? whats the entrance fee?"
"those where the girls come and sit with you drink and chat. bring about 100 can liao"
strictly speaking, i avoid night clubs. stupid to ask about an entrance fee.
cause i doubt there's one hahha. anyway i said nah. some other time.
wanna get home to exercise a little then rest. which is true.
andrew isn't a rotten fellow by the way.
different people have different lifestyles and he's just on this one.
we cant judge others base on our views or the views of society.

2009-02-03T21:19:00.004+08:00

remember this puzzle i pieces together like at least 2 years ago?
it has replaced the FHM poster hahahah.
didnt wanna paste the ferrrari califonia poster there.
cause i dun have a frame for it. dun wanna spoil the sketch.

finally done properly.
the 3M heavy duty couldn't hold. drilled two holes in the wall.
got two plugs and screws in. and wa la, its up for good.

okay, i forgot after a while, that i am lifting 13kgs.

kept on thinking all this while that i was 12kgs.

yesterday evening was great. had dinner with the koreans. two of them.

plus aunt lucy's family. we all know each other so it was pretty enjoyable.

business kinda thing. serious yet fun.

ate at long beach. chilli crab, geoduct, prawns, chicken, fried hor fan.

DIY-ed these brackets for the purpose of locking the case.
oh whats the use of having the locks when u can unscrew the brackets?
the groves for screwing in the screws have already been worn out.
just kept turning the screw driver when the screws wouldn't go any deeper.
so yup, its no longer a cross head pattern, its just a conical crater.
i didn't drill any holes in the wall.
heard that it ain't good to drill too many holes in the walls.
used the 3M heavy duty double sided styrofoam tape instead.
2cm for roughly 600grams. i pasted about 50cm? thats roughly 15kg?
singaporean, kiasu. now i am wondering, if we were to shift house again,
how am i gonna remove it? probably get another concussion ahhaha.

okay, realise the edges of box isn't totally dark brown/black.

u can see the layers of plywood. gonna have that blacked out.

gonna use paint or wood lacquer. that way, when the lid is on,

u wont notice the lighter parts thats pretty striking against the rim of the lid.

oh yeah, lord vader received his new posting.

he has been demoted. thrown to some corner of the galaxy.

current sector posting? staircase. no luh, this is the left side of the door.

staircase area. pretty dull luh. so this fellow went there.

something to look at. "break the dullness"

remember that picture of marcus, melvyn and i?

that not so formal formal picture?

yup, gonna blow it up, if possible, to the size of the darth vader poster.

then frame it up with the same frame. and up it goes onto this wall.

so when u are climbing up the stairs, you know its our area you are walking into.

2009-01-31T23:19:00.002+08:00

HAHAHA someone drove into our clay flower pots HAHAHAH.
this two girls in a nissan cefiro tried to do a 3 point turn.
ended up driving straight into the flower pots.
pretty comical. was looking out of the window.
saw her having difficultly, joked about it to martin.
next thing i knew, she drove into the pot.
lucky for her, it wasn't the dragon pot.
she reversed out in the end. all thanks to the idiot that parked at the end.
totally blocking everyone's way.
no one is able to do a 3 point turn cause there simply isn't enough room.
--
--
--
one of the poles for the scaffording just fell out of place.
the scaffolding for the construction opposite our place.
came crashing to the ground. just learnt from martin that it isn't the first time.

2009-01-31T20:49:00.003+08:00

alright, dad expressed concerns over the sharp edge of the sword.
that is understandable. cut myself once while cleaning my other sword.
that one is really sharp. gonna encase it in a display casing.
custom make one, would be cheaper.
then lock the acrylic to the base. that way, it cant be taken out just like that.
may be displaying it downstairs instead.
meanwhile, i have sheath it, and its back in it beautiful red box.
hope this one doesn't draw blood lol.
melvyn's gonna add the korean cloud sword to his collection.
before discount, 1000+. that one really requires tender loving care.
i love the sunburst tsuba design, but for that sword, its also a thousand plus.
still waiting for the reverse blade. there isn't any stock at the moment.
--
--
--
alright, gonna wash my car later on.
wanted to wash it last night. hands were too weak after exercising though.
pushed myself pretty hard last night.
so, its gona be after this. around 930pm?
rest a while. then exercise alittle more after that.
plan to pump again tomorrow morning,
plus the next nights off after booking in.

2009-01-31T09:58:00.008+08:00

updates updates... ...

falling ill, not sure how bad but it feels bad...

car is in need of a super bad wash...

dont ask me about the sword, bought it as deco, of cause luh...

next up would be the helm, its all for my future room. own room...

beats getting tattoo-ed right...

there are a couple of others with really beautiful guards/tsuba but they are pricy...

think i may have gotten myself another traffic fine...

sped past a speed cam on the express way, by the time i realise what it was,

it was just beside me, braked hard. :x

thinking of staying home for the next three weekends...

that way i can save money, and work out...

its not like there's alot of places to visit in SG...

and i am wondering about band. feels like its time to stop...

hmmm i was just wondering.

which of my friends know which side of me.

are they able to see the whole me or do they see just that few sides of me.

like i said before i dun think many of them really know me anyway.

then again, it leads me to think. the way we view others sometimes.

its more like we see what we wanna see rather than

we see the whole person right? cause we are bias beings, we judge.

so we are not able to see all sides of the person right? confusing myself :P

2009-01-27T23:36:00.001+08:00

simple yet quite nice eh.

k, i advertised.

bloody deep pockets, especially the indonesian chinese.

so yup. tomorrow's destination?

to indo-china lol.

today's takings are pretty good hahah.

gonna delay it. probably at least half a year from now. after my birthday for sure.

change of plans yup. hell its darn fast, how time passes by.

gonna be 21 soon. hahah.

2009-01-24T21:50:00.006+08:00

aunt made the gnaw hiang. ah ma fried it. damn nice !!

my dear ah ma...

thats their maid siti.

they taught her how to cook hahah.

yes i was at my favorite aunt's place.

ah ma stays with her too. as my blog's lao jiao would already know.

anyway, went there. slacked a while.

went down to NYP, shall come to that later.

went back to her place. had dinner together. haha.

love dinner over there. its really shiok.

grew up on it, the first eleven years of my life. hahah.

NYP.

went back to play for the alumni band.

just there in response to my friend.

she said they needed players for the clarinets so i said ok.

sarah jane and fahmi was there as well, to my delight. lol.

sarah's still hyper energetic, fahmi still himself.

one common change? their hair styles.

they both look more hip thought i think sarah's previous hair do was better.

zaidi was there too. and quite some of those that went for the previous WMC.

oh yeah, they are taking part in this year's WMC as well, 1st Div.

would i get a chance to meet them? not sure but i do hope so.

play against them? that would be interesting and yes i would love that as well.

hope to stay at the same hostel. wanna visit the nearby monastry again.

oh, the alumni band conductors? 3 of them. though only 2 were around today.

Keith and Gavin. wait, let me correct that.

keith... ... ... and Gavin. okay. that looks seems more like it.

had no idea what was i playing a third of the time.

upon request, by the woodwinds, the 6 beats was still done in 2 groups of 3s.

cause the conductor himself got the beats mixed up from time to time.

thats why they requested it done that way. it never was corrected. hahaha.

pretty fun interesting though. realised there's changes in fahmi's playing.

in zaidi's as well. then there's another live wire behind me called Sheila.

she plays the horn. she looks really demure but she's really, cranky hahah.

okay at least from all that laughter i hear. fun people. they spice up the lives of others.

then the two blokes in front of me, each taking their turn at a time to be laughed at.

i mean seriously hahah, the lao jiao wood winds beside me were giggling away.

oh guess what. nearing dismissal, during debriefing.

sarah took out her dad's Olympus cam and started taking pictures.

yeah, like what the hell? hahah. so she got a shot of me and fahmi.

and none of me, i dun like that, so she had none of me alone.

k. hope she comes online tonight. can get the pic from her.

what else? there simply too much to blog about.

oh yeah, eileen gave me a pad on the back which was more like a slap.

it hurt. why? cause i went MIA from nyp band for such a long time.

hmmm. abandoned the thought of washing my car.

initially planned to give it a rinse like around 2130hrs.

the wind was cold and blowing hard though. k sounds wrong. nvm.

gave number 1 a call. same at where ever he was. i think woodlands.

so yup, gave up the idea. maybe heading out later anyway.

gonna meet meiting for supper? no idea. thats a big maybe.

oh she's my senior, so yeah,

dont think otherwise but a meeting between two friends.

she was the one that asked if i would play.

vanessa found the packet of three condoms, in my drawer.

was looking for her calculator that martin "borrowed".

guess what, she told everyone. so, over lunch between me dad and martin.

i was like, whats all these gay thing about?

then dad said, she found condoms in ur drawer.

and i said, in the jungle need to use mah.

and dad said, wa ur screw each other in the jungle?

i was like wa lao eh, no luh. collect water luh.

after a few more dirty jokes, alot of laughter,

and after alot of effort to swallow the food.

i settled the problem. apparently, during a smiliar incident before enlisting.

sister found a box in my drawer as well, YEEEKKSSS

2009-01-24T10:48:00.002+08:00

gotta watch this one...
and The Wedding Game. gonna watch that with cousins during CNY.
CNY as usual would be boring. not gonna pai jia with the scouts.
cut costs haha, petrol is one major expenditure.
estimated about 200 a month. minimum. gotta drive less hahah.

Eight year-old Bruno is the sheltered son of a Nazi officer whose promotion takes the family from their comfortable home in Berlin to a desolate area where the lonely boy finds nothing to do and no-one to play with. Crushed by boredom and compelled by curiosity, Bruno ignores his mothers repeated instructions not to explore the back garden and heads for the farm he has seen in the near distance. There he meets Shmuel, a boy his own age who lives a parallel, alien existence on the other side of a barbed wire fence. Bruno's encounter with the boy in the striped pyjamas leads him from innocence to a dawning awareness of the adult world around them as his meetings with Shmuel develop into a friendship with devastating consequences.

2009-01-23T22:41:00.002+08:00

two new books. the tattoo book is a picture book.

and the halo book. hahah saw it on the shelves.

couldn't resist. so no more gaming console.

books would replace the gaming console.

have a crazy idea regarding books. crazy but good one.

2009-01-22T21:10:00.003+08:00

i am gonna get another tattoo done.
this one's gonna be a greater blasphemy then the previous.
the act itself is one already. the design's gonna be outrages haha.
think of a cheeky angel oops.
probably in three months time?

2009-01-22T18:43:00.003+08:00

okie updates.
--the bench would be here this saturday instead.
change of plans due to some money issues.
--part time studying has been approved by my superiors. thats good.
just gotta check whether i have to fill up any forms, if neccessary.
--this vocation is really boring. its at chong pang camp. under the air force.
i do nothing but slack in an air conditioned room all day.
therefore, i maybe getting a gaming console. have been solving cross word puzzles.
watching short clips on one of my buddies' psp. and doing nothing.

two of them were discussing something about this movie.
quoted a phrase from this character in the movie.
anyway, its just, when the guys in the movie got better at hooking up with girls.
they also realised that they loved the girls lesser.
i think thats pretty true. cause after a while, its more like hunting.
you just wanna kill the game, and get the reward.

i dont think i wanna go anywhere this CNY.
just stay home and save the money haha.
maybe just hang out with the scouts, pai jia with the scouts thats all.
other than that, no plans.

2009-01-20T00:25:00.002+08:00

just a check.
--3 scratches have been removed.
--xenons have to be ordered.
--would order the bench 2nd saturday from now.
--gonna have alot more time to do what i want.
--plans for studies are underway.
these are the more important ones.

reporting tomorrow.
no idea whats it gonna be like.
right now, the main thing on my mind is,
i wanna study. yet i have no idea if i can make it.
they say its easy, but i really have no idea.
confidence man confidence. at this rate, half the battle has already been lost.

nearly had an accident. would have been a T-Bone for the other fellow.
he made a right turn at the cross junction without checking.
i picked up speed pretty quicky as usual.
he couldn't see me and i could see him.
light was green, so thats in my favor.
he horned. i hate that. why dun people use the time to avoid instead of doing that.
okay i was partially in the wrong for picking up speed so quickly without checking.
funny thing is, the vehicle in the middle lane wasn't moving.
i was on the left. the ones on the right were making their turns.
maybe he was jutting out so much, the middle lane couldn't proceed.
anyway, both was at fault to me.
wonder what would the japanese metal have become if we did collide.

whats the good thing about driving such a car? this brand.
you can turn up your music. pull up near a jap beng car.
and people would be starring at the other fellow instead.

2009-01-18T18:30:00.003+08:00

headed straight for the cemetries. went on to the muslim, catholic, chinese ones.
stopped by the side of the emergency run way.
watched a group of people. they were having this thing.
an aunty there explained to us.
the two deities are from hell, the ones that catches the souls.
one black, one white. they were summoned up.
and were in the bodies of these two men.
people could then approach these two guys,
provide their 8 characters, birth dates, full name, the place they live at, street name.
one of the deities would then calculatewith an abbacus.
and tell the person, whats his future gonna be like.
supposedly they can help take away illnesses as well.
another aunty kept asking us if we wanted to have our "ming" calculated.
we of cause, politely rejected.
it was around 12 when the deities finally went back down.
headed home after that.
strange things that happened throughout the trip?
proceed on to the army training grounds just outside of NTU's gate.
couple of hundred meters in, head lamps flickered after a short bridge.
engine went weak. as in, like when its cold and you wanna start an old car.
step on the gas but you wouldn't get the actual amount of response from it.
thats all. sped out into NTU.

gonna head back.
maybe 3 or 4 sat nights from now?
the deity thing's there every sat evening the aunty said.
gonna use the other route though.

i suspect something's wrong with the car.
mainly the front suspension. the right side.
car's been producing lotsa noises. like material fatigue.
over the small humps, the suspensions sound like its gonna give way.
and i wanna go hiking. anyone interested?
k maybe not hiking, i dun know what u call since its singapore.
just a walk in the reserves?

2009-01-10T21:15:00.002+08:00

i should have brought the camera out, darn.
went out with the boys today, plus sir.
had buffet at the hotel beside DFS.
royal something something. cant remember the name.
food was alright. price is kinda steep for that quality.
ate till we were super full. they needa gain back the weight/mass lost.
oh yeah, it doubled as a celebration for the jan birthdays.
like 8 out of the 13 of our birthdays, are all in jan.

Recce Commander Course, it was there that they realised samuel's a selfish fellow.
samuel and his section was really CMI in Charlie.
overall though, everyone's still as one. and thats good.
kudos to Jun An, he carried the signal set, around 10kg, for the entire 60km.
removed his socks to find his feet covered in blood.
alwyn blacked out. tried too hard to start a fire, was too close.
too much carbon dioxide. jian ming went down with a series of illness.
danial's EQ went up by quite a bit. everyone's got more cock to talk about now.
and they have earned their 3 stripes and jungle hats.

2009-01-10T01:05:00.002+08:00

managed to swap my saturday duty with a sergent friend of mine.
avoided saturday duty hahah. its the most dreaded day for duty.
saturday duties really suck big time.

could get to sleep thursday night.
kept thinking. fantasizing actually, happy thoughts.
made myself "happy for nothing" haha.
thats the little boy in me.
and the memories came back one by one.
just recalled the past. smiled on them.
i just feel good that at least, i experienced that kinda feeling before.

okay i felt kinda awkward just now.
was having having dinner with Platoon Sergent and P.Commander,
plus two of my scout mates. as we were leaving, PC & PS started talking about cars.
then they saw the beamer, and PC was saying he could only dream.
they were cracking jokes about how they would be able to buy one.
blah blah blah. and i had to walk to the car because it was mine.
i didnt realise pc parked his behind mine.
my two buddies already knew of cause. so ps and pc were like waaaa.
i was like this sucks. hate it when this kinda things happen.
its really horrible the feeling. really sucks.
and i feel really bad. PS is from quite a family as well.
mods cars and everything. he loves cars.
but yeah, overall, i felt bad. i really really felt awkward.
