Title: Tiredzz...
hmmm.. tomorrow getting my OFF.. hehe.. hopefully i do not end up going back camp again... these few days trying to fix some glitches here and there for the new PCs.. also learning how to troubleshoot in case people coming knocking my door asking me this and that.. For this past week, feel quite bad because i keep asking the installer to come and take a look.. feel like a pest.. haiz.. so while he is here i'm learning the things also.. at least i can solve on the spot and not keep calling them.. really feel very bad about it..
As i was on the bus going back home today, saw this Mum scolding and teaching her daughter a lesson on how to behave.. that little girl was in her pre-school days i suppose.. quite cute and full of energy. The mum was scolding her big time.. the bus was very crowded due to the evening peak hours.. everybody was staring at them.. i eman she is naughty but do you need to show everybody how to 'educate' your child in the public?? you can do that in closed doors, i do not think you should do it openly and show everybody that you are a great Mother trying to teach the right things. In a cramped and crowded area, any samll action is an eye catcher let alone scolding and slapping your own child.. do not get the wrong idea, i mean slapping as in slapping on the little girl's shoulder..
These few days, something's seems to have gotten over me.. i went out for lunch with my big boss twice and even had an evening jog with him and chatted too.. hmmm.. since i get along well with him.. i mean talk to him having lunch together and even sitting in his new car plus running with him.. but it was a good experience and it shows that outside work, there's always room for the junior to speak to the seniors in a light-hearted manner. I have no qualms talking and runnign with him.. it was great...
Lastly, am i not a friendly person?? or am i an irritating guy?? i got this impression from someone.. i just feel that i am so irritating to that person until no replies at all.. but all i did was to ask a simple question and i didn't follow up to chase for the answer.. haiz.. i also do not know what the person is thinking.. so i cant blame the person also.. maybe its the way i put it that irritates.. hopefully that person can read my blog.. i sincerely apologise to that person..

Title: No title...
hmmm.. i was going through a CD-ROM of mine to check through whats the contents.. to my surprise i found back all my previous pics.. taken during OCS, BMT and something else.. something that i done up for that someone.. i thought i have lost the thing.. after giving it away i did save it in my PC but my PC crashed that time.. so i thought all data gone.. can retrieve it back anymore.. but i saw it yet again.. i do not know this is good or bad.. i don't even know what was my feeling when i saw it again.. as usual.. my fingers were itchy so i went to open up the presentation.. saw the things i typed and prepared.. how should i put it.. memories keep flushing into my mind.. happy or sad or painful?? i do not know.. nobody has the answer.. or did i saw something i wasn't supposed to see it anymore.. or fate has brought me to look for the disc and open it up and saw the file again.. To my surprise fate does pay a small part.. as i am typing this.. somebody just send me a message on MSN.. call it coincidence?? i really do not have the answers.. sometimes you must believe in this kind of things.. i inserted a song in the one of the slides... oops i gave it away.. and as i am typing now.. this particular song is playing on my Winamp.. no joke.. its really a coincidence?? wierd things happening.. is there a message trying to get across to me?? whatever it is.. i know that there is no turning back.. and i do not wished to also.. i just want the receiver of my presentation to be happy always.. 'This I promise you' sounds familiar... if anybody reading my blog will get what i mean by that statement.. if you do not understand.. its ok.. there's no requirement for you to understand also.. the second song playing on Winamp now is also one of the songs i inserted.. ahha.. what's happening?? maybe its just pure coincidence ba.. i better not dwell too much into this..
My unit's Migration went quite smoothly la.. there were clinges here and there.. nothing's going happen perfectly and the way i want to.. in this case then its a utopia that we are living in.. haha.. so ya.. problems here and there.. but i managed to get it sorted out la.. end of the day.. i am quite satisfied la... now i just need to sort out some admin work of getting rid the old PCs.. there's quite a big prob to me.. ahha..
I didnt want to blog today.. but after what happened.. i think i should write something here... so here i am typing away some of my thoughts.. PS: do not worry about me.. i'm ok.. do not get the wrong idea that i'm feeling down.. guys, i'm ok..

Title: Sianzzzz...
Haiz.. sighz~ what a way to start my blog.. on a moody mode.. wednesday didnt go to work.. my eye was painful again.. dunno whats wrong.. izzit my eyes got a prob?? or my contact lens cannot make it.. i also dunno.. thinkin of wearing specs again.. back to secondary sch days... then my contact lens will be dailies.. like that i suppose i can save a lot of money... if i need to wear my contacts then i use it.. if not i use the current bi-weekly lens.. waste $$.. because i have to make full use of the 2 weeks period.. if not 2 weeks later must throw it away... of course i can extend the period.. but... this is what will become of me.. eyes getting red ocassionally.. have to spend $$ to see doc to get eye drops.. haiz.. i also dunno.. frenz are advising me to go for 'Lasik' operation.. but i dun think its worth it.. 3000++ per eye... and it is not 100% success.. taking into consideration.. my degree is well over 1000.. i need to wear specs after the op because it will only reduce til about 100+.. so waste $$.. what if the op. fail?? that's even worse... so think think better not la.. live with my specs lor.. what to do.. never take care of them when i was younger.. haiz..
Yesterday as in Friday.. met up with Alex, Bert and Ching hei... 4 persons.. so i think u know the ans.. haha.. Mahjong session at Bert's hse.. i was thinkin what to do.. because its a friday so asking them out lor.. ended up playing mahjong lor.. very tired also.. previous day was out till quite late.. after 1 round, decided to stop and go for supper instead.. went over to Feran's place there for supper.. Bert was saying the prata there not bad.. most importantly.. their service is much better.. haha.. looking through the menu.. decided to eat pizza murtabak.. in the end the guy said no more liao.. pengz!! so no cravings for others decided a cup of my fav. 'teh-o' would suffice.. they were eating so happily.. haha.. after which send Alex home.. and its home sweet home!!
Today went to ICA building to extend my passport.. because i'm going for my trip.. and i think my passport expired ages ago.. went down damn early because i know there will be a lot of people.. to my surprise... its not just a lot of people going there.. its really a lot.. haha.. everyone who gets out of the station and heading towards ICA will be going into the building.. its true.. the influx of people going into the building was alarming.. i got my quene no. 7108.. and they were serving only 7060++.. i was thinking.. oh my gosh.. its going to take an hour at least or more to be my turn.. i was very tired.. luckily.. the numbers were jumping very fast.. half an hour it took for me to wait.. and my transaction was only less than 10mins.. haha.. what a joke.. never mind la.. need to get it done asap.. before the tickets sold out.. then big prob liao.. after which i was meeting my Boss at the place there to pass him some stuff and i need to collect something from him also.. we arranged 10 til 1015.. i finished around 10 so it was just nice.. in the end he came only around 11 like that.. diaoz~ late.. haha.. after taking the things from him.. and a short conversation.. i went back to do my bank book.. Mum has been chasing me to do it since last month i think.. haha... After which had my lunch.. and its time to zzz.. cant stand it le.. really need to catch some sleep..
I had a great dinner.. went to eat curry fishhead with Weiming at Hougang.. simply fabulous.. haha.. fulling and nice... Just finished watching Arsenal's game.. disappointing is the word to use.. without Henry.. their attacj is toothless.. without goals.. u will never win games.. and their defence isn't that stable.. haiz.. what has happen to them?? i also dunno.. hopefully they will find their rhythm again and produced some attacking football which will delight everybody.. haha..
I'm home right now.. haha.. sis was asking why i never go out.. haiz.. if i'm out they will question me.. if i stay at home.. they ask questions too.. what should i do?? Raymond was asking me to go Mdm Wong's today because some party there going on.. so the age limit was 18.. but i wasn't interested... i was keen or something else.. but all not available.. busy with their work.. no choice decided to stay at home and save $$ haha.. then thought i could meet Shihao and Ong to watch movie.. in the end.. waited until too tired and lazy to leave the house le.. haiz.. whats wrong with me?? everytime i'm alone.. nothing to do.. example right now.. staying at home.. some thoughts just flow into my mind.. thinking of something, someone, somewhere out there.. sometimes i'm searching for myself.. whats the true self of me?? i also dunno.. sometimes i thought i found it.. and living with it.. but after a while.. it turns out opposite.. the truth lies within myself actually.. you actually know it subconsciously.. but just that you cant have a clearer picture of it.. so you cant find it.. you cant see it.. I hold the key to the answer.. yet i am searching for it.. what a irony.. let just hope that things will only get better.. what are my troubles compared to those who lost everything.. in New Orleans... and now Texas with Hurricane Rita ripping through.. its nothing compared to their troubles.. so i should not sulk for long..
These 2 years in army.. learnt a lot.. leadership.. social skills.. organization structure.. everything.. but if given a choice.. i would rather forgo all these in exchange of something, someone, somewhere out there... i used to say this.. Life's short.. live it to the fullest!! i should be the guardian of this statement.. but i'm not doing it.. well.. i shall just stop here... or actually there's never an ending.. your frenz will keep telling you.. close a chapter before you begin another one.. in the 1st place.. do you think this is a chapter which you can just close it?? or this is soemething else?? ask yourself this question before you close this 'chapter'

Heeren got a selection going on for DJs to be for Dongli 88.3FM.. some wierd performances.. singing and dancing.. but the gals look good though.. hehe... nowadays alot of aspiring superstars to be... haha.. since tomorrow is AHM, need to go back early to rest... went back to aunt's place to take her car becoz i will be driving to Padang for the AHM...
AHM 05 or i dubbed it as my ORD run.. haha... 21km... no joke boy!! it is going to be a gruelling and mentally tough run around the CBD area.. National Stadium and East Coast park as well.. but everything turn out the other way... I was supposed to be there by 5am to report.. in the end i woke up at 0530hrs.. argh!!! simply cannot make it.. haha.. rush like crazy... decided not to drive becoz no time to find parking liao.. took a cab down.. reach there asking around where's the rest, all proceeded to the Start line liao.. die... have to play catch up liao.. rush to the start line then carry on running.. trying to catch up.. finally saw a few chaps along the way.. it was tough.. realli.. but the pace was set by me.. so it was comfortable la.. haha.. saw cups of Gatorade and plain water.. took alot to drink.. hehe.. too greedy liao.. so end up with stitch along the way... and starting to cramp... at about the 18km mark... decided to walk la.. hehe... becoz the pain too much to bear liao.. so walk a bit.. run a bit.. finally coming to ending point liao.. the drive came back to me.. pick up the pace and dash for the finish line.. yeah!! its over!! my ORD run... haha.. came in 2 hrs 10 min like that.. got myself a Finishers' medal.. and went to look for my frens.. ate an ice-cream and drank a whole bottle of Gatorade.. woo... so ok la.. not so panting in the end.. still can walk around look see look see.. hehe.. the pace was good.. didnt know that i could managed that pace til the 18km mark.. hehe.. the timing also not bad la.. important is i got the medal.. not the time.. haha.. i also run for medals if not what's the pt of running where there isn't any recognition.. haha... went to makan after that with my unit khakis.. finally reach home bathe then its time to recuperate my body.. hehe.. slept until now lor.. haha..
It was a good experience la.. running the 21km was good.. next time in uni liao.. must cont to run.. if not no 400 to my account.. ahha... the key is set your own pace.. its good to come in within 2 hrs 45mins... but its not a requirement.. it would be just as fine if you could just finish the race in whatever time you are comfortable with.. finish the race.. not compete... since we are non-competitive runners.. Kudos to all who ran this morning.. you have reached another milestone in your NSF liability... That's all..

Yesterday was my Mess initiation.. I thought i could escaped it and waited for the next one.. by then, i am clearing my leave le.. so no need to initiate.. For those who dunno what's this about.. let me explain to you.. Basically for newly personnel posted into the unit, if they are allowed in the Commanders' Mess they must be initiated 1st or so called to let the rest of the people in the unit to get to know you better and for them to drink alot more beer that night.. FOC!!! haha... you are supposed to follow some steps and procedures and do not cocked it up if not you are going to drink again.. after the steps they are going to ask you questions which do not have or you will not have a clue of what is the ans so in the end you will be drinking and drinking.. If you happen to guess it correct then you are saved the person who shoot this qns will be the one drinking it.. haha...
Finally we made our way into the Mess, when we were on top of the bench we cocked it up already forget to ask for permission to mount the bench... 1st glass.. haha.. after some self-introduction its time for the questions to start.. obviously we do not know any of the questions.. so in the end we drank 3 more glasses one after another... before drowning another special cocktail made by the Mess committee... it was bitter sweet.. my fren who is the incoming DYS2 could not take it anymore so he vomitted.. oh yah.. dont worry.. they had everything in placed.. they palced 2 dust bins in front of you in case this happens.. haha.. luckily he was alright afterwards.. before this, we had a day initiation... we had to search the whole camp compound looking for parts of the equipment... then as usual we had our fair share of tekan session.. did almost 100 push ups and 100++ sit ups.. its been a while since i have been tekan until like that.. those were the days.. haha.. but i didnt had the 'garang' feeling back.. haha... it was an enjoyable night i must say... we had some interesting questions for the rest of the initiatees who have no ans for that.. haha... after that we decided to go down to Chinablack and enjoy ourselves.. we took a cab down and guess what after the trip there my head started spinning and you are right i vomitted once i was out of the cab.. haiz.. spoiler.. after a while i told them i cant take it le so decided to go back and rest... lousy way to end my evening.. haha...

Title: Superstar!!
All hype surrounding this year's Superstar is finally coming to an end.. haha... didnt realli bothered to watch it actually in the 1st place but after a while decided to watch it so alright la.. not too bad at least they know the basics of singing.. ahha... just finished watching the final.. Kelvin Tan won the competition.. Kudos to him for that courage to stand in front of thousands and sing it as if it was an easy job to do.. i wished him all the best.. but 1 thing i do not understand is that the judges were there to give comments but they have no say in the final results which i am left puzzled with that.. because end of the day, the music teachers are the ones who are going to train them up for their music careers... and not the fans.. and the 70% of the final result depends on the fans' sms and calls.. this is not some charity show or the STAR awards whereby sms and calls play a relevant role in determining the winner.. so something to ponder about ba.. this hype may not last forever.. just look at Taufik and Sly Sim.. what happen to them now?? not very happening as that time... so i believe in training up an artist and not picking 1 from the crowd.. that's something i think should be the proper channel to do so.. my thoughts and my own opinions...
Yesterday and Today went for runs with my new pair of shoes.. not bad la.. but i have been wearing a new pair of socks which is thick enough but in the end i got blisters at the insole of my foot.. haiz.. hopefully it is because a new pair of shoes that's why there are blisters.. if my AHM going to be the same as Today, i think something is going to be very wrong somemore i spend a tidy sum of money to buy this so it better be good.. hehe..
Tomorrow is my Mess initation.. I thought i could escape this and quietly didnt mention it but my name turns out to be the 1st one to be penned down.. haiz.. no choice.. i heard that there is going to be field initation.. wear long 4, helmet going to do some tough jobs before the actual thing.. haiz.. why go through this?? why?? well if i got go through this i got to do it then.. I shall update what is going to happen to me tomorrow.. ahha..
Quote of the day:To love is to risk rejection; To live is to risk dying; To hope is risk failure.. but the biggest hazard in life is not risking at all..
