recently read the diary I wrote for my community svc trip to thailand..n really find my english at that time sucks..ahha..are my english really so terrible at that time??!! but anyway, its always nice to read over again what i had done during that period..n i found myself smiling at some of the incidents, like this one: while on our way back to the airport, we went to a hotel restaurant for our lunch, and together with me are frankie, shichang and zack. When zack went to the restroom, Frankie and shichang added sugar and salt to his drink, and we all agreed that when he came back, we shall all say 'cheers' to make him drink the cup. Little did we expect that the moment zack came back and sit down, before we even had time to start out plan, he himself took up the cup and said cheers!! and proceeded to drink the water..haha...
hmm..was telling milkgal the other day that I was in this overseas trip, and she didnt believe me initially..hmm..think i say too much lies normally huh! Or I dont have the good guy face hhaa.. But anyway, I almost didnt make it to the trip.. its becos a malay guy from another class had his mum objecting him going to a buddhist country that I got to go there as a reserve, and luckily I went on to make my passport even when I was not picked initially. Anyway, I wasnt really happy with the makeup of the group cos there were just too many rugby guys out there, maybe becos their rugby teacher is the same guy in charge of the trip, and I dont think some of them are genuine interested to go there to help and in fact, just take it as a field trip for the rugby team.
Anyway, I had completed all my clearance today, just one thing left, my PINK IC!!! I never like pink so much..after being stuck with the green 11B for 2 years plus..haha.. come wednesday and it shall see light again!!! :)
I watched windstruck today, the one starring jeon ji hyun..hope i didnt spell it wrongly, shes the one in my sassy girl. Anyway, the show cant be compared to my sassy girl lah, tts one of the best korean show of all times. talking about the show, its starts off like my sassy girl, trying to input comedy into the story, but I dont really think its funny, cos you can practically predict what its going into. But going further into show, its no longer a comedy..but rather, it strives on the best quality of korean shows, that is in making soppy shows..and the show really carried off becos of the superb acting by jeon..she carries the story practically on her own, and literally too, cos her male lead is not around during this period of time. Bascially, if you are looking for a comedy, then this is not the show for you. But if you like korean shows, and romantic shows, you can consider watching this. And talking about the ending, theres a surprise connection to my sassy girl. My ratings: 3 stars for the show, and additional 0.5 stars for the gorgeous jeon.

Here i am..with nothing to do..tts why im in front of the com again..
something funny happened this morning..went out for a run after i woke up..and while running,u know its hard to run when theres no one pacing you, and you got no motivation to maintain the speed, theres this 2 boys riding bicycle in front of me and I decided to use them to pace myself..till I find them too slow, then I run past them. And when I run the second round, there they were, in front of me again..and i run pass them again. Hmmm..were they pissed off?hmm... but anyway, while i was walking home after the run, they were right behind me tailing me..what were they thinking??? but anyway, they were following me so closely behind tt its so obvious loh..and since im in the mood, i decide to play with them haha...Im a biker myself, so i know where it will be difficult to cycle..so i deliberately walked places in rounds, and see how they can follow me..hmm..not bad, at least they are able to follow me for quite a few block before i lose them...but also they follow me for what..think they like me, too bored liao..maybe should take my bike along next time..haha...formula one!!!
Anyway, was quite tired today..cos of the soccer match this morning..sucks man..waste my time staying up. I was so hardworking last night loh, playing my ps2 till 230am for the match, but ended up falling asleep in front of the tv after just 20mins..its just too boring..unlike the england vs portugal match the previous day. Lousy france..lose to greece..no wonder santini going to tottenham..same standard..
Went over to orchard to buy the harrods stuff..reached there quite early, but milkgal you are late!! ANyway, finally bought the stuff for my friend, thanks..Anyway, while I was there, received an sms from my friend saying she cant make it for the malaysia trip..sigh...so disappointing..was looking forward to it so much..then received a call from another friend, tt the biz camp will be from 5july to 9july..sucks!!..I only be back on 5th loh..then i called up the person in charge to ask whether I can join in on the second day, and he say no...sigh...sucks man...If i cant go for that, I will go for the student union one then..but still rather go for the biz one, after all tts the people i see most and work with.. why so early...
Anyway, was talking to Trish just now..about how her life is changing..tt now shes heading towards certain direction etc...and Fizah talking about her dreams n all...start me thinking about myself. What do I want for my life? Basically to graduate is not my dream..just a near future goal..in fact, my motivaton for working hard is cos I dont know what I want in life and what I want to do in the future, so I would like to be able to give myself choices... and pls lah, Im no genius loh..genius are those who are clever by default..not for someone like me who in primary school, my mother are called to school by my teacher becos I was failing terribly.. but anyway, right now I still dont know what I want in life..Im still lost...

btw, if u notice the background music here, its a song called 'The Rose'
Here how it goes:
Some say love,
It is a river that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love,
It is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love,
It is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.
It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
That never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dying,
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely,
And the road has been to long,
And you think that love is only for
The lucky and the strong
Just remember
in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

sigh...its sunday n I dont have any plans..in fact I dont have any plans foe the coming week at all..wat am i gonna do???
Anyway, I went all the way to kallang yesterday for iceskating..the rink there was smaller than jec, though the ice is better, tt of course helped by less ppl skating la. Tried out the hockey skates instead of the figure skates I been using all this while, and the feeling is really different. started off quite hard becos Im not used to not having the hooks tt exist in the figure skates, which i used to push myself:the wrong way to skate. hockey skates are definitely better in terms of comfort(first time with no blisters), and easier to master braking as well. Anyway, Im a really slow learner, skate for so long liao still so buai zhai..sigh...
saw the national stadium being decorated for the ndp, and the performers there as well. really hope I be able to get the tickets to the actual day parade, becos I never been to one b4, so far been to 3previews only. Its always nice to be there in person, enjoying the atmosphere. I was there last year for the previews, and alone too, cos my friend only got one ticket. didnt want to waste the ticket when so many ppl would have wanted to be there, so decided to go there. Anyway, I was sitting in the grandstand section, the one with the roof, and I dont think i ever wanted to be sitting in that area again..the ppl there was like so unenthu lo, its seems like they just happened to be there and not becos they wanted to go there. when the emcees told us to exchange the friendship band with the people around us, I looked around and see to the left an old lady..the right a father talking to his son, the front talking among themselves..and I dont even bother looking to the back. Felt sorry for the motivators there, trying to get the spirits up with this type of people. And when it came to the song singing section, I dont even dare to sing out when people around me was just not bothered..sigh... but there was one plus point, there was this motivator in my area..who I keep noticing..somehow attracted to her stlye. I brought my digicam that day, and when I took photos, I always waited for her to be in front of me..thus she was featured in many of my photos..haha...When the show ended, I was standing there looking, as she gathered together with her fellow motivators..and I stood there for quite some time..indecisive about whether I should go forward and ask for a photo..while people around me were heading for the exits. Think I stood there for up to 5 mins..before I plucked up my courage and finally went forward and asked. I was thinking at that time..they wont recognise me after this so no harm asking right..and I was really nervous at that point of time..first time I ever ask a girl abeit not for telephone number la.. "hi, can I take a photo of you all?" wondering why I didnt ask to take together with them now.. "sure!"her friend answered..there was 5 of them, and one of her friends was extremely curious.."why do you want to take our photo? Is it for any magazine blah blah..??" I was thinking shit, what have I got myself into..and I was nervously answering her queries while adjusting myself.."err...no..." then came the final straw"oh..you like her right???" damn...she hit the jackpot..and I was really embarassed.."no..."shaking my head... think my face was really red at that time..and I went on to take 2 photos..after which I thanked them..and I was already out of their picture..phew...and when I already walked out of the stadium, something strucked my mind..hey I didnt ask for her phone no..shit...too late to go back in now..they should already be gone..
I had a friend who was in the parade tt time..and he mentioned that they gathered together with the motivators in the indoor stadium at that preview..and I quickly printed out the photo and passed to him"help me looked for her and get her no!" I was pinning all my hopes on him..I read in the ndp booklet that the motivators was made up of students from all the ITEs in Spore n temasek poly..its almost impossible to find her..and on a sunday after that, while I was in camp that morning..I was watching tv, and happened to tune in to kids central..and they were showing inkids..and there they were showing the ndp preparation..and hey..while the hosts was talking I saw her behind them!!!"wo kan dao ta le.."i was pratically shouting out..and that made me even more determined to find her. Then came a bad news..my friend no longer gathered together with the motivators anymore..apparently they had changed their location..arg....why...
to be continued...gonna eat my brunch now...

Just finished watching 'my girl', which I think is not as nice as what the reviewers had said.
Anyway, have been doing my clearances these few days, and I finished the last of my interviews yesterday, the one by my co. I can only say Im just happy to leave the army, who wouldnt be? And receiving the news that im confirmed going to ord on june30 is an added bonus, and I already envisioned taking my ic in the morning, and flying off in the afternoon! :) 11 more days to freedom!!!
By the way, I was talking to co yesterday, then I mentioned about the regulars going home late, always late by half to one hour cos of work. And his response is, they are overpaid! Now then I know their starting pay is around $2600, which is really high by the market rates these days...I think they should work even longer hours now! So those of you who want to sign on, well the money is good.
Anyway, met up with my friends after that, and having to wait for them cos I arrived half hour earlier. And as usual, Tricia was always late..why??? Anyway, we went down to chinatown to buy some sovenoirs for my Thai friends, cos I be going to Thailand soon. Really spent some time walking around viewing the shops, and pratically all the shops sell the same things. After a while I got real bored, sorry about tt, but Im really tired, n a headache was creeping in as well. Watched euro04 the previous night, so I was lack of sleep. And ya, Trish brought this guy whos a regular, and there I was thinking 'here I am so happy to be ord soon, n this guy beside me just signed on..crazy...'??!! no offence la, but no way I will sign on unless I own loanshark money..and ya, Eileen sis want to sign on too..!@#%$...the world is changing... was sleeping on the bus when my friend called to ask me whether wanna go his hse watch soccer for the night..and when you was sleeping n awoken by this call, what will you answer? no of course, Im just too tired tt I couldnt wait to get to my bed.
One thing I dislike about myself is when Im on leave of off, I will still wake up at the same time..theres no one time I wake up after 8, even if I slept late the previous night, and thats what I did this morning. Woke up at around 6 plus, then watched the sky slowly brightened till 7plus before I get myself up. And I woke up with a running nose, so decided to go running. strange right, went for running when Im sick? But for me, after I run, the running nose will go away, tt thats what happened. But for you all, better not try it, cos u all not as healthy as me haha...but really not recommended by doctors la, sick just take medicine, esp after news of people suddenly dying while exercising these past months. Anyway, I was running when I met my friend, she was running to choa chu kang, so I thought I just accompany along..but ended up running much more than I expected..run all the way to choa chu kang stadium, which is like somewhere in yew tee lor..till I think my leg overexert le,so I walked my way back. Also, I having some problem with my right angle, think my ligament over stretched or something, cos its been like this since I played soccer with my boots on 2 months ago..but Im leaving it to heal by itself anyway.
By the time I reached home, I was already dead tired, just lied down there n switch on the fan..its was only after some time that I picked myself up n bath, after which back to the bed again! By the time I woke up already gonna be 1, long time since I last skipped my breakfast. Was intending to go down to Thai embassy to pick up the map, but Im too lazy le lah..after all the exercise in the morning..so ended up asking my friends to come and watched my girl.
and ppl, shrek is a really funny movie!, definitely worth every cent of the money..haven laugh so much at a movie for such a long time. If you haven watch it, better go catch it!
Anyway, Im going to start my korean course soon, within the next few days, or maybe tonight if im hardworking enough..hah...its an online course which the army subsidise 90% of the fee, so its like I pay $18.40 for a course that cost $184. Its part of the army plan to help soldiers get back into the society by helping them pay a part of the course, and beside languages, there are a lot of other courses I can take in many area, computers pyscology just to name a few.
Im on leave now, think will only go back maybe twice from now till june30, so now very free, if got any lobang call me out k, or can come my house also no prob, ps2 also got,watch dvd also can, cos I be real bored.
Think tmr going down to kallang for iceskating, have always been skating at jec, but wanna try out the hockey skates, which is available for rental there. and for me safra member to go there is realy cheap, $5 for 3 hrs, excluding skate rental of course. at jec is $8.40 for 2 hrs with skate rental. But anyway, theres student rates every wednesday at jec, so if you wanna go, go on tt day.
Really wrote quite a bit today, esp after my short entries for the past week. Think Im gonna do a look-back for my army life some time next week, can expect it to be real long. For now, Im done here, take carez ppl...ORD LOH!!!...

Now then I know their starting pay is around $2600, which is really high by the market rates these days...I think they should work even longer hours now! So those of you who want to sign on, well the money is good.
Anyway, met up with my friends after that, and having to wait for them cos I arrived half hour earlier. And as usual, Tricia was always late..why??? Anyway, we went down to chinatown to buy some sovenoirs for my Thai friends, cos I be going to Thailand soon. Really spent some time walking around viewing the shops, and pratically all the shops sell the same things. After a while I got real bored, sorry about tt, but Im really tired, n a headache was creeping in as well. Watched euro04 the previous night, so I was lack of sleep. And ya, Trish brought this guy whos a regular, and there I was thinking 'here I am so happy to be ord soon, n this guy beside me just signed on..crazy...'??!! no offence la, but no way I will sign on unless I own loanshark money..and ya, Eileen sis want to sign on too..!@#%$...the world is changing... was sleeping on the bus when my friend called to ask me whether wanna go his hse watch soccer for the night..and when you was sleeping n awoken by this call, what will you answer? no of course, Im just too tired tt I couldnt wait to get to my bed.
One thing I dislike about myself is when Im on leave of off, I will still wake up at the same time..theres no one time I wake up after 8, even if I slept late the previous night, and thats what I did this morning. Woke up at around 6 plus, then watched the sky slowly brightened till 7plus before I get myself up. And I woke up with a running nose, so decided to go running. strange right, went for running when Im sick? But for me, after I run, the running nose will go away, tt thats what happened. But for you all, better not try it, cos u all not as healthy as me haha...but really not recommended by doctors la, sick just take medicine, esp after news of people suddenly dying while exercising these past months. Anyway, I was running when I met my friend, she was running to choa chu kang, so I thought I just accompany along..but ended up running much more than I expected..run all the way to choa chu kang stadium, which is like somewhere in yew tee lor..till I think my leg overexert le,so I walked my way back. Also, I having some problem with my right angle, think my ligament over stretched or something, cos its been like this since I played soccer with my boots on 2 months ago..but Im leaving it to heal by itself anyway.
By the time I reached home, I was already dead tired, just lied down there n switch on the fan..its was only after some time that I picked myself up n bath, after which back to the bed again! By the time I woke up already gonna be 1, long time since I last skipped my breakfast. Was intending to go down to Thai embassy to pick up the map, but Im too lazy le lah..after all the exercise in the morning..so ended up asking my friends to come and watched my girl.
and ppl, shrek is a really funny movie!, definitely worth every cent of the money..haven laugh so much at a movie for such a long time. If you haven watch it, better go catch it!
Anyway, Im going to start my korean course soon, within the next few days, or maybe tonight if im hardworking enough..hah...its an online course which the army subsidise 90% of the fee, so its like I pay $18.40 for a course that cost $184. Its part of the army plan to help soldiers get back into the society by helping them pay a part of the course, and beside languages, there are a lot of other courses I can take in many area, computers pyscology just to name a few.
Im on leave now, think will only go back maybe twice from now till june30, so now very free, if got any lobang call me out k, or can come my house also no prob, ps2 also got,watch dvd also can, cos I be real bored.
Think tmr going down to kallang for iceskating, have always been skating at jec, but wanna try out the hockey skates, which is available for rental there. and for me safra member to go there is realy cheap, $5 for 3 hrs, excluding skate rental of course. at jec is $8.40 for 2 hrs with skate rental. But anyway, theres student rates every wednesday at jec, so if you wanna go, go on tt day.
Really wrote quite a bit today, esp after my short entries for the past week. Think Im gonna do a look-back for my army life some time next week, can expect it to be real long. For now, Im done here, take carez ppl...ORD LOH!!!...

just heard the news that ns duration was cut down to 2 years from 2 and a half years previously, and for those in service there will be a 2 month reduction. I have less than 2 months to my ord, so it wont benefit me that much, maybe i will be able to take my ic earlier. they should have announce this earlier sia, then i be real happy. The people in my camp was all shouting happily when they see the news on tv, tt they be able to ord earlier. As for me, I just hope it wont affect my overseas plans.

just went down to chinatown with my parents, to book the Thailand trip. Theres a bit of changes, n I will be going there for 6days 5nights, one more day instead than earlier planned, becos theres no returning trip on sunday. So this means that right after coming home, I be going off the very next day to Malaysia, seems a bit heretic for me now tt Im not gonna have any rest day, but just as well. Gotta to email my Thai friends later my holiday, so they make themselves free during that period, cos Im on a free and easy tour after all, will really have to depend on them there.
went over to the ma lun la mian restaurant for my dinner, eating chinese food, the food ok la, not really suited to my taste though. Actually i admit Im quite particular about food, theres a lot of things I dont eat. Theres japanese food which I dont lie the taste, dont ike the kimchi in korean, and most of all, I dont eat seafood, mutton, lamb..so basically my diet only includes chicken and pork. quite picky right? :)
Anyway, I got myself a new printer, the epson c63 at the pc show2004 yesterday, at only $99, which I think its really value for money. And I tried printing photos with the 2 photo paper they gave me, and I must said Im impressed by the results. But if u thinking of buying it, then too late le la, the show end today le. Bought a 64mb xd card for my camera too, to prepare for my overseas trip, hehe..
logging off le, think meeting my friend later to pass him the memory card. see ya...

The Paradox of Our Time by George Carlin
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less; we buy more but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less
time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less
judgment; more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less
wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our
possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how
to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life not life to
years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing
the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space, but not inner
space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the
atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies
than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; big men and small
character; steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of
two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality,
one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the
stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a
time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up
to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your
side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart, and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from
deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for
someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time
to speak, give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
To all my friends in my life, thanks for being there. The secret of life
is not to have everything you want, but to want everything you have!

another sleepless night...was watching the hours yest night when i pause the disc, rest n ended sleeping with both my com n tv still on. and then i woke up at 330am, switch off both sets, only to find tt i cant get back to sleep..sigh...anyway, ended up playing my ps2 haha..finally completed ominusha3, after dying for so many times. I played until 7 plus b4 deciding to continue watching the hours, really dont understand the story..tts y it put me to sleep.
anyway, talking about yesterday, I went to the food fest again, twice in second consecutive day, this time with my friends. And there I was, eating katong laksa again! Anyway, if people say i am chossy with my food now, cos i dont eat seafood and certain meats, think again. I used to be even worse before I enter army, and you wont certainly see me eating laksa. Anyway, the reason for my preferences for my food is simple, I simply dont like the taste, and tt certainly counts for jap food too.
anyway, after expo, we actually went over to changi airport, haha...cant believe I actually went to changi with my bunch of friends though, cos firstly, I never been there with them, or any grp of friends, and secondly they will never go there unnecessarily. as for me, I always liek to go there, even when Im alone, its one of the 2 place in Spore tt I like relaxing in, you see lots of ppl but they wont disturb you. And i can just sit there a whole day and see the planes, or just there people-watching.
take some time to think about this passage wrote by my friend, maybe feedback thru e tagboard too:
being a friend is different from a bf. As a friend, u wont be judge. friend dun judge friend n seldom be angry with them. but being a bf is not lo. miscommunication results bcos u all tend to see each other often. being "belong" to someone will give u the authority to fed anger at the person. u tend to want the person to acc u, want him to put u in first place, want him to bring u out n tell u where is his whereabout. but for normal or good fren, i wont request much lo. i accept them as they are.
