Alone..
walked myself into my camp alone...
unpacked my stuffs in my bunk alone...
brushed my teeth and washed my face alone...
sitting in the office surfing net and munching supper alone...
tonight, i'm all ALONE...
Oh! lonely(holy) night....haiz...
had a great time with tailin and co. on friday night...though most of us
feel that it ended in some disappoinments, we relatively had a pretty nice
time chatting and enjoying each other's company... cherry complained while i
was sending her home that we all should have ignored kok chin's solitary
vote against the movie session...honestly i wanted to agree with her but
feels that it is better to have an unanimous decision... in the end, all we
did was covered a few clicks(kilometres) within town with a car...
it was a pretty "new" sat for me as i woke up without the naggings of my mum
and the freedom to use the car to buy stuffs, meet up with xiaotong & alinia
for a short tea session at the HongKong Cafe, and then proceed to granny's
hse for dinner....looking at the petrol tank meter before i handover the car
to my uncle, i thought,"phew~clocked 300km in 1.5days, if i am a driver in
the Army, i would have gotten my civillian driving licence within a month!!"
haha.... a pity i had to do medical duty today and can't enjoy this Once In
The Blue Moon wkend in which both my parents are overseas...(that's why
there aren't any photos for recent posts cos my dad took the D-cam)
anyway, still hadn't receive any news from idp regarding my deferment
issues....duno whether has they received my request...think i should give
them a call one of these days when i'm free... it's really frustrating that
they do not send any replies and i've had to be like a sitting duck... i
feel so stupid to rush and check my e-mail everyday, hoping that i'll get a
reply from idp...arggh....
hm... i hope the new bathing sponge that my sis bought for me yesterday does
not spoil again like the previous one... can't wait to use it to bathe tmr!!
yeah~
yawnz...time to sleep...

Monday, May 22, 2006
i've finally got my hands on jolin's album...so satisfied....i am so looking forward to her autograph session....wondering when she'll come....
took a closer look at my 22nd birthday card... noticed some other greetings which i've missed..... i really like the card alot....they really put alot of effort on the card....so touched....this card is probably the best birthday card i've ever received in my life....(still wish that the 2 kiss marks by cherry and nicole should be on my face instead of in the card...hee~)
anyway... think i better go to sleep...getting late... ciaoz~

Had A Bad Day

Champions League Finals!!
I remembered that he was very crazy about buying The New Paper the moment it's hot on the shelves(usually is 12pm) to catch the latest article, comments and analysis about the EPL matches and most important of all, Arsenal's articles... at that time, i had no idea who Arsenal is...and only knows about Man United, thus i wasn't very convinced when he wanted to introduce me to this supposedly "attractive" team called Arsenal.... after i watched several of their matches, i realised that he was right afterall, they are playing the kind of smooth and free-flowing football that is SO UNLIKE the english, yet, it's an english team playing in the EPL......after i got to know more about team, i found out that the manager is actually a Frenchman, and French are known to play free-flow attacking football....with very neat footwork and exeptional technical abilities..(alright, i'm getting too chim here..haha~ just got carried away) anyway, the way Arsenal play straightaway attracts me back into EPL.....and thus, it's the beginning of a hobby which has now become a part of my life.... of course this time, i didn't become a Gooner immediately, it was a gradual thingy.... soonafter, i got to know Renjie, who later became a Gooner too due to my influence... he might deny that it was due to my influence if he reads this( Come on man! i'm sure it's me la...HA HA HA~) but i know that my daily comparison between Arsenal and Man United with Wille(he's a "die-hard" Man Yoo fan) plus the attractive, smooth and silky attacking football that Arsenal plays week-in and week-out, must have affected him to join the mighty AFC...
Therefore, i believe, that with the attacking football that i've been watching Arsenal play since 2001, i'm very convinced that my mighty Arsenal can really do it this time round....cos Barcelona will not be as hungry for European glory as Arsenal, which had not won the champions league before ever since Arsene Wenger took charge... and i know, that the manager will give it everything he got to grab the trophy which he has been trying to get his hands on for 10yrs......
YEAH~ so MARCH ONWARDS ALMIGHTY GUNNERS!!! DO EVERY GOONER PROUD!!!

shagged....
man...today was sure a tiring day.... just after i managed to finished my wkend duty, i had to go over to Nee Soon Camp straight to cover my unit's Sports & Fitness Day.... sigh...boringz.... they had some basketball games in the morning and then a battalion run during the afternoon....now the run is more interesting!! cos i get to ride a bicycle while covering them at the same time!! hee~ seems like i'm the FIRST of my unit's medics to try out this new equipment....it sure looks cool when i was riding behind the last man and then then the pple around were fascinated by this modern way of medic coverage!! hee~ anyway, it was tiring in the end cos i had to cycle up and down the slow for about 5km....good exercise for my knee, considering that running is still hazardous for my condition.... but then...now my knee feels sore...maybe i should be more careful when i proceed to my next cover tmr...oh...this post is the 1st time i'm blogging thru the e-mail system!! hee~ i'm really excited about this new way of blogging....saves me from going the detour of logging in when i'm in camp... my bunkmate introduced to me.... sigh...tonight i'm gonna be all alone in the bunk.....
erm....ok...i guess i better go back to my bunk soon....this office sure feels abit eerie when i'm all alone.....where's the COS? hmm....... ciaoz....

blogging in camp
man! WHAT A GENIUS!! this is the first time in so many attempts that i've finally managed to get thru the camp's stupid computer to type my blog!! hee~ so excited...but it's at the expense of having to change my password everytime if i wanna log in...so troublesome...haiz...alright...here i am...eating bread and typing at the same time...IN CAMP...instead of going home to enjoy the long wkend... feels really miserable to be staying back when everyone else goes home happily... especially when i'm gonna stay for the wkend, follow thru the wkdays till next fri comes along...today is only the 4th day of the 11 gruelling days...7 more days to go...endure!!!! arggh... fortunately i brought some entertainment(vcds) and i still have some junk food that i can munch on when i'm bored... so i'm starting with bread tonight!!
i guess cherry is going to celebrate her birthday with the guys this sat...feel so guilty that i couldn't go....i wonder if there's anything i can do to compensate that?? hm... sunday is even more important...Mothers' Day....sigh...now thinking about it makes me even more guilty(i chose to receive $$ for doing the sunday duty rather than spending time with my family)....this time next yr, i'll not be around to celebrate Mothers' Day with my family..haiz..anyway i just hope that my sis is able to make up for my absence!
called xiaotong on tue night...realised that she's down with fever and flu too..sigh..lotsa pple around me are getting sick...my sis, my bunkmates, my cousin, now xiaotong... haiz...i have a feeling it's becos of me! haha...
anyway i'm supposed to meet her out to have dinner at Crystal Jade...i promised her i'll treat her to nice food(i seemed to have promised alot of pple too)... hee~ since she's sick, this meal has to be postponed!! hee~
listening to Yes 93.3Fm now.... it's Music Diary time now.... my favourite in-camp programme...though it's very short, yet it's the only thing i look forward to whenever i need to stay in camp at night..
tonight's topic is about a guy, currently studying in england, writing in to speak about his fear that his gf, currently in singapore might consider leaving him becos they have been separated for several yrs now... he was afraid that the girl might find the cross-countries relationship too stressful and in the end break up with him...he mentioned about how distraught she was when she learnt that he needed to go overseas to further studies initially, she even asked him," Would you stay, FOR ME?"... however the guy knows that studying overseas is the only way that he can get the degree he really needs to get a good job in future, and he managed to convince her eventually....he has been studying so hard since then, constantly with her being the reason for those hard work, and he realised that it's probably time to reassure her again, that he WILL come back for her and also to fulfil their promises to each other, that they'll get married and enjoy their happiness..... once again he hopes that she can hold on for just a little more longer...then the DJ played the song YUE DING by GUANG LIANG....how more apt can it be?..it really brought back some thoughts into my mind...
i'm gonna go overseas study soon next yr... alot of my frenz asked me why i wouldn't wanna try looking again ever since my breakup with my ex... seriously, after my previous failed relationship, i had lost almost all the confidence i used to have... everything i used to believe, my faith, my enthusiasm about relationships were crushed the moment i realised that whatever i do, it's still not enough....this unpredictability about a relationship, really scares me off.... one moment we could be having fun and enjoying each other's company, the next moment a break-up would just happen....
i met a pretty nice ger couple of months ago..in a pub(yesh, u can meet nice gers in pubs too!!)..i had to say i was pretty attracted to her.. but just when i thought i could try knowing her more, or perhaps try to be more than just frenz with her, i was pulled back.... i realised that i couldn't do it....many a time i wanted to sms/call her to ask her out, but many a time i only managed to flip open the phone and stare at it for awhile before flipping it back again to close it...i believe that she has a pretty good impression of me...just that...probably... my hesitation has killed off the opportunity...haiz...was i afraid to open my heart out again? i asked myself...or was it becos i'm gonna leave singapore soon?...that i'm afraid to face the same situation like nicole is facing now...though i still think that she should do the right thing, just like the guy who wrote in to the Music Diary programme...
i wonder...when will i ever get my confidence back? when can i convince myself to bring back the belief and faith i used to have?? who can help me??

gruelling 11 days
tmr is the start of my gruelling in-camp 11 days... duno why i got myself in this situation where i'll miss the vesak day holiday, long-awaited Mothers' Day and the long wkend... what i got in return is only the completion of 3 duties and an extra 30 bucks which i'll receive for taking over someone else's wkend duty.... i know it's kinda not allowed, but HEY... who's gonna care as long as no one screws up and fail to report for duty? hm....i guess not!!i think then next time i'm gonna update this blog would probably be on 19th May.... i'm just patiently waiting for my pay to come tmr....it's been quite awhile since i last see a 4-figure sum in my bank account....hee~ WAITING....
phones are really cheap currently....ks and wp both changed phones already...looks like it's an indication to me, my motorola v3 should be changed too...since it is starting to look old and cranky...haha~ i'm seriously considering an upgrade to V3i..... or something else..... anyway new phones would mean i have to re-apply LOA in order to bring it to camp, but.....seems like rumours has been spreading that soon, LOA would not be valid in my camp anymore.....just currently RUMOURS for now.... yet to see any final confirmation...
forgot to upload the photo that tailin wanted to have.... it's a photo of this small part of a board game which we played with on sat when we were at The Settler's Cafe... This thing was the reason why i became the joker of the night....haha~

so darn tired....should sleep now....ciaoz~

Polling Day
woke up early this morning and got myself a warm cup of lipton tea!! YEAH~it's polling day!!...managed to peep down to ngee ann secondary...it's not really that crowded in the morning...should have told mum to rush back so we could all go down to submit our votes together... my very FIRST vote since turning 21 !! kinda exciting!! hee~ well.... although voting is a serious matter which concerns the welfare of all the singaporeans, i still think it's kinda interesting to be able to vote for the party that i support!! for the first time, i really got that kinda feeling that my choice can decide singapore's future!! hee~
The election saga has been hogging the headlines recently.... lots has been said between the parties... criticising each other and stuffs... i'm not really an avid reader of such issues, but i could hear my bunkmates in camp and everyone else discussing and analysing those news published in the newspaper, like who is saying this and who is saying that, why they said this and why they said that.... so i feel kinda left out... anyway it's finally gonna end soon, and the reporters will soon zoom their focus on the World Cup!! yeah~ hee~ i had to admit, such country issues weren't really in my primary concerns...i'm more concerned with whether Arsenal can win Barcelona in the Champions League!! hee~
anyway... in the end the voting procedure was very fast and easy... the moment i got my voting ticket, i cross my choice immediately at the booth....took me just less than a min for everything to go thru... haha...
went bugis for window shopping with tailin on fri night... chatted abit on the latest going-ons within our frenz.. was kinda disappointed that cherry has cancelled her birthday celebration at first but then fortunately she got too bored and me/tailin/wp decided to go down to the Settler's Cafe to chill out... my throat is still feeling so hoarse... MAN! i just hope i'll recover asap...can't stand it already.....it's already been 3 wks since i last had a decent fried-food + soft drink meal.....haiz....
anyway.. me and tailin were having a lengthy chat that night about some of our frenz while we walked around bugis street, wp seems to be abit weird, like he's bothered by something.. some other mini minor conflicts happening between the gals... we also went to the trendy icons building...it's still generally new, so the stuffs are still pretty limited....but i can see lotsa potential to splurge there, someday i might go back there again to pick up some nice gifts for the gals...hee~
well after walking for like a couple of hours, she finally spent $$ on a yellow blouse...very typical of her indeed..hee~ i've seen her with dozens of blouses....she prob like blouses alot...just like i'll usually look at t-shirts more than any other clothings....
i guess i'll just laze around at home later during the day before meeting ks for a s-league match in tampines!! so nice of him to come down all the way to see the match... oh ya! i gotta go collect my jolin tsai's pre-ordered album too....supposed to collect it on fri but couldn't....hm...can't wait to get my hands on her latest album!!! hee~
ok.... can feel my eye muscles straining now....think i better crash..... ciaoz~!

Beautiful Sunday
what do i mean by a beautiful sunday? what is the definition of a beautiful sunday? i duno what it means for other pple, but for me, it's simple....it would mean a semi-sunny and windy day like today, plus waking up early with a good hot cup of tea despite feeling abit tired(lack of sleep, ALWAYS lack of sleep) and spending the whole day at home either surfing the net, visiting sites which i hadn't gone to for quite a while, or playing my ps2 which i hadn't touched it for quite awhile too... didn't go out at all, thus i'm still feeling fresh now, especially right now after my pre-dinner shower... hm....i can almost smell dinner....but then i'm not gonna be having it at home, cos my parents dun cook at home...we'll go to my gramp's place for dinner as usual for every single day!being a good boy for today, taking my medicines on time, the pain in my throat is almost gone... a couple more on-time doses would probably be enough! oh! and the cough too...it's getting better too...thanks to MYSELF again! haha....
last night's k-ing session was great...managed to sing a couple of high difficulty songs(includes Mayday,Jay Chou) but would have been better if i had that remaining 20% back! hah! i reckoned my voice would be back by this coming sat's outing with them again!! hee~







ok...shall continue to slack around, enjoy the air-con and wait for time to go for dinner at my gramp's place!! yeah~!
