haha i'm gonna book in soon and i'm more or less done wif mi errands...phew...so rushed man..haha anywae..i juz found out wad i need...

I tynk i need a nice belt since i need to wear it for booking in..so anyone hu haven't bought anything..heh heh u all knoe wad to do man...remember..mi bdae is on the 29 June..haha dun forget..

Life in sispec is relly quite different from bmt in the sense that the scedule is so packed tt i hardly had anytime to breathe. Well at least for mi company. Btw, i'm in charlie company and it's the most 'xiong' company now because of the strict discipline. Well and the OC is a totally scary figure that even the sergeants and everyone are so scared of. Ok lemme tell u how strict he is. People in platoon 4 did not straighten their bedsheets properly ala hotel style, tight and creaseless and so, the platoon sergeant was punished wif 4 extra duties, the section commander was punished wif 2 extra duties and the 2 guys who did not straigthen got 2 extra duties too. It's never about punishing the ones making the mistakes only but also the commanders.

That is why all the commanders are very strict wif us, ensuring no cockups and so even at 10.30pm, we were still doing our stand-by bed, which is basically a way to check everyone's cupboard, bed etcetc...And mi dear delta company which is opposite our block is already sleeping. Let's juz say they have about 3 hours of admin time every night while we at charlie, so far i tynk we got about 1.5 hours in 5 nights?

Ok but i haf to admit that we do learn alot of things in sispec and many of which i cannot reveal because it is restricted information and i can be charged by the SAF. But many many interesting things...and suddenly i begin to feel more like a soldier instead of a prisoner or a future hotelier, whole day doing area cleaning man..

Ok enough about army stuff. Juz wanna say a happy belated birthday to limin. I'm sorry it slipped off mi mind. Juz hope tt u'd haf a happy 19th year of ur life. And guess wad? I tynk the genius' bdae is coming soon too!! haha a pity i'd not be able to meet alot of u due to time constraints...so better book early as usual..but no confirmations..because i would not knoe if i'd make any mistakes and be confined over the weekend or suay suay kena guard duty or wadsoever..tt's army life. Unpredictable.

Was supposed to watch batman begins with val todae but somehow the theatres were all booked..so we din watch..instead caught it wif seokfun weeboon sengkiat cheekeong and a sec sch fren jiansheng. The show was quite nice to mi lar..i dun relly knoe how the others feel but i felt that he plot was quite nice and i liked the twist alot. It caught mi by surprise somehow and the action somehow managed to take mi breath away in anticipation. And it took many other's breaths away too...because as soon as the action ended, i could hear many pple starting to breathe quite heavily, obviously from the lack of oxygen..hahaha

Tml will be an extremely busy day for me because i would have to settle many errands. And buy alot of army stuff too..hopefully i can get the things i need man...

Oh and i found out another point why i'd prefer being a boy compared to a girl..at least when we do a urine test..we can aim man...hahahahahahahahhaa ok no offense to anyone..juz sth i found quite farni

ok i guess tt's about it for now...

haha i tynk i'm some birthday magnet or something...james wished mi wrongly yesterday and juz now seok fun juz wished mi happy bdae on the dot at 12am!! hahaha It was relly nice of these 2 to wish mi happy birthday..quite touched..though it's not mi bdae yet lar...haha and seok fun is the funniest coz she was so sincere and damn nice about it..she actually sang mi a song and told mi tt she waited since 10pm to wish mi..so sweet rite??

Ok tml is a new life at sispec which is at the tekong island again. This time i tynk i'm more prepared for military life than before and i'm quite excited by it actually. I guess this is where God wants mi to go and so, i shld stop complaining lar..instead i shld feel blessed for so many things and it's time for mi to return to Him and be more prayerful and God-centred! I guess the theme on Mercy relly made mi tynk bout so many things in mi life. Mercy..such a precious word...mercy..Wad have we done to deserve any mercy man..Our brains, our looks, our grades, our jobs? None i'd say.

I'm glad that we were given this period of time called the block leave coz it gave mi the chance to meet up wif mi frens. Well, hopefully even though i've returned to tt dreaded island, we'll still have chances to go out and have fun together. It also recharge mi in a way and made mi tynk alot mainly bout mi days in BMT. As usual, mi character and mi actions..i guess i must stop doing things tt i'd regret in future...Made up wif some frens and hopefully, our frenship will scale newer heights! haha

Of course gd luck to tt zixu for getting the best 8-5 job around and hope he wun get posted to sispec in future...hahaha well..mi frens..i tynk i gotta be going..see ya all in about 5 days time??

Oh yar..btw..birthday will be coming soon...next next wed..dun forget..29th June..the next time i come back i'll remind u guys again..probably u all can ask mi out to the War of the World movie tt weekend..start booking mi via sms k? the no. to sms is...1800-XXX-XXXX haha each sms is at a rate of 5cents. Children under the age of 18 should get parental consent before sms-ing to this no.

So long my friends!

Oh and ya..go visit limin's blog..Her name is on mi link..she uploaded the photos we took yesterday..and man they're hilarious..and u all can see mi murderous look man..haha

How nice issit to stay at home for this 12 days man..now i knoe how zixu felt when he had his finger almost amputated and had to stay home for 21 days..haha the feeling of liberty, of freedom is all but about to leave mi!! can't believe it but gonna accept it and go back to the regimental training on monday. I got posted to sispec which stands for School of Infantry SPECialists...there, i'm gonna train to be an infantry commander. Tt's wad the website said lar...

So anywae, issit better to follow ur heart? or to follow ur head? In other words, making decisions based on feelings, or based on thoughts? I let mi feelings control mi too much sometimes which explains mi moods sometimes or mi temper. And was juz introspecting on some things i did recently. Like encouraging mi fren to display her unhappiness at something because i believe tt there's no need to conceal ur anger. Well, i tynk tt at times, it's relly better to juz control and let the matter calm down and slowly resolve it together. I was sorta hit by this realisation this morning coz the incident was strangely similar to one tt i've experienced before and which caused periods of unhappiness for both mi and the other party. In other words, a lose-lose situation. And i certainly dun want mi fren to go thru all tt pain..

And sadly to say, the incident tt happened tt time still haunts mi every now and then. It shows mi how fragile frenship relly is. It takes alot of understanding for frens to remain good frens for long. Of course another incident occured recently also. There used to be 2 good frens and after i came into the picture that day, one of them has begun harbouring bad feelings about the other for like ignoring her? Well, though i might say alot of things like dun care bout her lar etcetc...actually i dun wanna see them in that state. It pains mi to see frenships destroyed. I'm not trying to act the nice guy here or wad but both of them have been quite affected by it apparently..and well, i feel bad lar..indirectly caused them to have bad blood between them.

ok well, enough of unpleasant memories. Nothing i can do now to erase them. All i can do is well, start being more conscious of mi feelings and maybe use mi big brains more..haha

Had a fun outing to royston's house todae. Was late as usual but well enjoyed miself there juz looking at them and yar i guess i missed the company of these crazy pple man..haha we played mahjong and alot of card games talk and have fun and of course they celebrated the genius' birthday along wif the pig limin's bdae..well although it's an offense to celebrate mi bdae wif tt pig..but i guess i became kind hearted and relented..letting that pig limin to sit on the same sofa as mi..haha took lotsa pictures there and had farni poses like mi murdering limin wif tt plastic knife and of course she murdering mi lar..well as usual thx to mi fantastic face, the pics all turned up superb. haha

Had to leave early to meet mi class for our bbq! Haha it was a place for jianhong to test his culinary skills but i guess it was quite difficult trying to get anything done on tt bbq pit wif tt miserly quantity of thermal energy..We waited for like 30min or so for the chickens to be cooked. But i tynk they tasted quite nice wif the bacon and cheese and all that though i did not touch the bacon..not ur fault jh!! it's juz mi hus choosey..And we had some special pear wif blueberry thing and was quite farni lar all the comments...haha guess jianhong is quite perfectionistic too..haha the farniest part came when weeboon tasted the pear and commented that the potatoes tasted very nice...i guess tt must have caused jh's morale to hit the ground man! haha but nevertheless it was nice lar..juz not the outcome he wanted..it's the miserly bbq pit lar trust mi..

So another eventful day for mi. Tml's mi last day...wad shall i do......and it's father's day too...

Hilarious hilarious!!

hahahahahahaha ok firstly i shall say tt i had great fun reading entries from jasmine's and zixu's blog..ok on to jas' blog which i read first...

Jas :
Anyway, just read Zixu's blog. That dumb guy just blurted out wad we've gotten for Nicholas. Argh. How can he just hope that Nic will miss the words "2 dwarf hamsters" staring back at him from his blog. Ohh... Cant help it too since the secret is out. So be it then. Just hope Nic is not too upset since Zixu spoiled his surprise. Hai.

And from jas blog, it led mi to zixu's blog...hahahahahaha

Zixu:
Haha. Wednesday jasmine and i went to shop around in town for i don't know what. And by i don't know what, it means we bought nicholas tan 2 dwarf hamsters for his birthday. Psss... Hope he doesnt read this. *shifty eyes*. Yeah so and we actually met him in town and he got quite a shock when he saw me and jasmine out together without him. Hah and pangs of jealousy and betrayal shot through him immediately until i reminded him that dwarf hamsters are destined for him. HAHAHHA... so so so soooooo funny plz. Yeah after that we were supposed to watch Mr and mrs smith, but sadly they ran out seats for the 5.05 show, and the next show was rather much later. So nicholas wanted to go PS, and i grudgingly accompanied him there, because he seemed to want to go there so much. Rather suspicious. Conspiracy theories was racing through my mind... Shhh.. don't tell him again and i shall pray hard that he doesnt read this part. Shhhhhhhh... Walked around PS quite a while until we were all tired and then we pounched upon this opportunity to get nicholas to treat me and jasmine to a drink at mos burger, for our hardwork in buying those 2 dwarf hamsters. Ooops i said what we got for him again. Shucks, hope he speed reads through this part and miss it out. Heh.. loodeedooz. Shhh... Hush is the word of the day over here k. He must not know that we got dwarf ham.... ooops here i go again. Sigh. After that we went home.

Ok well..mi 2 frens...nice try huh...hahaha well i dunnoe whether it's real or fake i mean the dwarf hamster thing..but if it's real the hamster can't be asleep the whole time while in zixu's bag rite?! hahahaha but anywae!! thx for this 2 paragraphs..seriously..they brighten mi up night alot and i'll remember this 2 paragraphs for years to come..it made mi smile like the joker while typing out this entry man...but seriously...haha damn damn fun..zixu is super damn hilarious and jasmine super nice huh..u actually made mi hooked and wanna read zixu's entry more than ever..haha

Well...whether it's real or fake, i'll wait till tt day..but thx for the early birthday gift. U guys made mi happy! hahahah damn happy in fact..U two skilled in hypnotism or wad..how come i feel so high and so ecstatic after reading tt 2 paragraphs?! haha it's like i'm on ecstacy man..

Well, zixu's and jas' online gifts are one of the best surprises i ever had in mi whole life. The whole issue is hilarious and yea..it proves tt no physical present is ever relly needed during birthdays. Ok i knoe this sound thick-skinned but pple tt haven't got mi present, pls save ur money lar k? No point buying presents..if u all relly want, a nice card will do..and of course no need to worry bout the sms at 12am..i will remind u all on the night itself..like wad i did last year...remember anot xinru? and zixu? haha the sms tt i sent which made u pple sian diao! ok 26 pple wished mi last year..let's see how many smses there'll be this year..

Petrol Price war rules!!

Caught Mr and Mrs Smith finally with valerie and zixu todae..as usual, mi and tt guy were late haha and luckily i asked val to get the 2.40pm slot for us. I must say that it was relly quite nice. The plot and all..but i found the way they converse wif each other the best. I mean they're husband and wife but they talk like.....haha farni man..and the farniest part of the show got to go to the part where both of them are suspecting each other.

Jane ( angelina jolie ), offered John (brad pitt ) a glass of white wine when he came back and well he din drink it after he caught a glimpse of a liquid detergent nearby..also, jane was cutting some beef wif a big knife and john was like so paranoid and immediately wanted to help his wife. Jane relented and got opposite him and took out an equally huge knife..haha ok not farni here..u gotta see it to understand..

So we almost split up immediately after the show because val had some errands to run while mi and zixu were kinda tired already..so on the way home..i realised tt petrol kiosks along bukit timah road were offering discounts of 17%..mi goodness, b4 the movie it was still 14%!! i've never seen such huge discounts before..Soon we passed by SPC near hcjc and i was astonished to see the rate of 20%!! Mi goodness..and i tot it was an spc discount only. Finally passing by upper bukit timah road, i realised tt the discounts for the other kiosks have also jumped to 20%!! Almost perfect imformation man for econs students...

And about 2 hours after i reach home, mama came home and announced happily that when she pumped petrol juz now, they gave her a WHOOPING 27% discount!! ok tt sounds like little but tynk about it. Petrol for a full tank is about $70 normally..and so 27% off would mean savings up to $19..it's hell lotsa money man...u could take breakfast, lunch and dinner for 2 consecutive days wif tt money!! woohoo...shiok! i love petrol price wars!

Well, i tynk pple out there dun relly understand us army guys. i shan't elaborate. I've typed out 3 paragraphs worth of my thoughts but decided not to publish it here. I tynk we deserve a little more respect from you pple.

Went out wif some of mi section mates from army todae. We caught hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and that show well...is not tt nice lar but since some of them wanted to watch i kindly relented...hahahaha stupid loh zixu...anywae speak of tt supid dumb devil, juz came down from lido when tt dumbo tapped mi on mi shoulder and there i saw jasmine and zixu. Mi initial reaction was that of shock as i can't believe tt they went out without calling mi!!! No integrity!! Booooo...but then i suddenly realised tt this month is a very special month...and well..they're forgiven..

At first we agreed to watch the 5.05pm screening of Mr and Mrs Smith at cathay but alas, the tickets were almost sold out, leaving only the first row and that sorta dashed our movie hopes. We then went to ps and zixu tt wimp insisted on taking the bus when it's only like 10min walk away!! argh..wasted mi 63cents tt wimp...tried to look for mi vcd but apparently the episodes i was looking for were sold out..sian..

And then tt wimp started complaining of being tired and forcing mi to treat them..haha ok lar not forcing lar but pressurising mi to treat them..well again i kindly relented and this is even more rare!! Mi treating drinks? hahahaha once in a blue moon and superbly rare opportunity man...and of course they pounced at it lar...after tt then went home liao...hai..

So i'm free tml for the whole day!! sian..tyynk shall either bake or go out walk walk or mayb get someone out to watch tt movie that has evaded mi so far..

Also i juz read a blog tt belonged to one of mi fren. One tt i used to be quite close to also but somehow haven't been keeping in contact for so long. Juz glad tt she managed to get into engineering fac and that she's feeling better already. I guess there's always a constant fear and worry of not getting into uni at all. For another fren that so far has only received rejections, i guess all i can do is to ask u to pray that ur alternatives will work out. It's hard for mi to tell u not to be worry because tt is pointless, the worry will always be there anywae. Juz take care i guess..

I guess i had a great night!! haha last night i talked to a friend that was once very close to me. We sorta drifted after a few unhappy incidences occured and i realised tt i've been pushing that person away too many times whenever tt person tries to talk to mi. In real life, the situation is also quite awkward whenever we see each oher but hopefully, things will start to become normal again..felt quite glad after tt..lost and found!

tasted mi beloved cookies todae once again and i realised tt it tastes veh veh nice...not that sweet and juz a little salty..well...happy man! soon i'll start on mi next recipe!!

Oh yea man..i had fun todae because it was the first time i baked mi own cookies! Yumyum...Met up wif zixu and jas to get the ingredients for mi cookie making and the dinner tt zixu wanted to prepare. Of course tt ah ma zixu took like damn damn long to make up his mind and i was so hungry lar..We decided to have lunch at macs and met seok fun and fiona at the bus stop near his house before going in together.

Was at a loss initially on baking because i juz knew too little...but i tynk i din relly wanted any help from them. Guess it's mi big-headedness but must thank them for the little tips here and there given tt they're much more experienced than mi. Can't blame them for being a bit exasperated at times too because i was juz too noob! So they went off to play mahjong while i try mi best to make the cookies. Disgusted, i was at the butter and the fact tt i have to touch it made mi feel even worse but conquer i haf to, of mi fear...

Rolled the dough into round balls and placed them on the baking pan and sent them into the fiery oven to bake!! Before it even came out, the cookie aroma slipped out and it felt so heavenly and felt a little sense of accomplishment. It's those kinda smell u usually get when u walk past famous amos...hmmm...famous nicholas..sounds nice no?

Tasted the first batch of cookies and fiona said tt it was too sweet!! argh!! Tt sounded like a dagger piercing mi heart..and when jas took a bite..she echoed wad fiona said and i could feel the dagger going in a little more and when seok and zixu also agreed...the dagger pierced right through mi heart....argh..heart pain..the taste of failure in mi mouth...

I tasted it..and i said..ok wad..trying to deceive miself but i guess i can't coz it was relly a little too sweet..then i waited for val's response..she's the last one to taste it..and she said..ok wad..not bad..eh i taste salt....wah...tt last phrase was like a samurai sword beheading half mi heart...i took another cookie and paid more attention to mi salty tastebuds and well i tasted tt part and suddenly, the words tt seok fun said earlier came to mind...

She said tt if i used mi bare hands to roll the dough, the cookies might get salty coz the salt might come from the sweat excreted from mi palms..and i laughed off tt suggestion earlier..argh..Haunted mi man...Well, i felt quite depressed and din relly wanna make anymore lar but din wanna waste the dough..they tried to console mi saying it's mi first time so it's ok etc..but i relly hate to fail..and at the same time i was puzzled by the saltiness..

Well, heck lar..zixu proceeded to cook his curry chicken and coconut rice but can tell tt he's not very satisfied by the final products but still they're nice compared to mi cookies..played some mahjong after tt and they relly play like ah ma man..take ancient years to tynk!! And soon it was 10 plus and we had to go home lar coz val and jas stay damn far esp val...Well, she was supposed to move to bukit timah area since feb and has delayed until now...hai..if she will only ask mi nicely..i'll help her threaten the guy renovating her hse to complete it by an earlier date..see? another use of mi precious loanshark looks...

WHen i reached home, i checked mi original recipe and i realised tt i shld have added 1/2 teaspoon of salt instead of 1 teaspoon!! see? wad a huge difference1/2 teaspoon of salt made to the taste of the cookies!! Roar!! I'll learn from mi mistakes and one day i'll make the nicest cookies in the whole world man...

damn trip to malaysia cancelled all coz of stupid fiona...shall go next sat man..argh!! had fun staying at home these few days..juz playing mi computer games..toking to mi frens online and of course watch dvds and television. All these were the things i was almost totally deprived off during mi 9 weeks in tekong. And well mi sleeping schedule is haywired again..sleeping at like 3+am everyday? But at least i'm starting to work on mi fitness again. Ran for about 3km and i already feel tired..argh..weak man..did bout 9 chinups todae but still not veh satisfied..

Added a few of mi section mates to my msn list and these are the few pple tt i'll probably miss from bmt. I guess i did make a few gd frens tt i'm sure i could count on if something happened to mi and well of course we share some similarities in terms of wad we talk about and wad we tynk of some pple. And finally, on wednesday we're probably gonna go out as a group ( for the 1st time ) to watch hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. Time for some male bonding time eh? haha And well, tynk we dun relly wanna invite some pple from our section but well..will lead to many implications..

Oh yar..juz information for pple hu wants to book mi next week, i'm not free on mon tues and wed, feel free to book mi for the rest of the week. Tynk i must relly enjoy the next week man..I dun mind going to stay wif a few close frens in a backpacker lodge in s'pore..heard it's quite cheap at like $21 per night..but then again, i might as well juz go to some fren's house for sleepover!! and yar i wanna play mahjong..taitais at home like seok fun and jasmine and xinru, can u all go and organise like on thurs or fri for everyone?? hahahahaha

I tynk i'm quite a calculative person as in i'd relly go and calculate the cost of everything and like mentally see if it's worth it anot. Like last night, i met zixu at west mall to have dinner after his lesson and i was juz calculating if driving there is even worth it coz firstly i tynk bus fares are cheaper and i also wun need to pay any carpark charges etcetc...Seriously, driving is damn expensive for mi now because i have no serious need to drive currently. I guess in future, when i have a gerfren or gd frens, then i'd drive around more otherwise i'd start taking buses. Relly shld not spend money like tt..not worth it at all...see? mi the cheapo king.

I guess it's hard to find anyone hu'll ever seriously like mi. Well, they'd have to get used to the cheapo mi and understand mi. I'm not saying tt i'm more unique or special compared to other pple, but i feel tt the way i tynk and the way i do things are a little different and i've quite a big ego man...haha i tynk i shall not dwell too much on this because i'm serving mi ns anywae. No point having a girlfriend. Having a few platonic gerfrens are enough and not to forget mi few guy frens...hahaha

Army has certainly changed mi perception on certain things and certain pple. I can understand y pple hate to be in the army and y some pple love to be in the army. I used to be in the hate army totally category until i heard someone say, ' Now u might feel army is a waste of time etc, but when u grow up, when u have ur own family, ur children ur home and ur career, u'd want to defend all these tt u have' Found tt these made sense and yar, if ever there's a war, i'd die fighting for all tt i hold dear.

In the process of the 9 weeks, i've been transformed from a civilian to a soldier and there's this switch in mi.Everytime i book in, the switch will be turned on and well tt's army mode. Everything i do will be chop chop and fast, never late and always ready. So unlike mi off mode where i'm juz lazing around always late and NEVER ready...it's a big change lar..Mi tolerance level has dropped tremendously esp for those pple who always cause the platoon to be punished coz they decide to be sluggish. I show mi anger rather easily and well, having a gangster face like mine helps sometimes coz i look FIERCE. Even mi sergeants tot tt i was from ite and is a gangster man!! But after they got to knoe mi better..i tynk they found mi to be a kind caring peace loving guy...ar...so sweet rite..

And i must say i relly can't stand pple hu dun trust mi. Well, i find tt it's pointless lar esp in an army context, if u dun trust mi then juz forget it lar..how are we supposed to fight side by side each other man. Trust is the key to any relationship. Hopefully in mi new unit, i'll be able to find pple hu trust mi and who are trustworthy themselves. Mi platoon is full of backstabbers and traitors so well, i've enough of these sort of scum. Shan't bear grudges for too long else pple say i'm petty.

This month is a special month...heh heh..get ready pple...

yes!! i'm finally out of the army!! Finally graduated!! Woooooohoooooooooooo!!! hahaha shiok shiok shiok ar!! Although i can't wait to get out of army, i tynk i'll miss some fren's tt i made in army like pple from mi section and mi sergeants...haha but well i'm out!! update more another time!

Yea man Yea!! 2 more days and i'll finish mi army life in tekong!! Can't wait for all of it to end. Juz had our 24km route march yesterday and it lasted for 8 hours man..walked till mi leg damn pain now and poor zixu..all his blisters burst and he also got lotsa abrasions. And i do not need to go back to tt stupid island during mi block leave coz i passed everything!! haha

The most surprising thing was tt i got a Gold for ippt man..from 2 chinups to 10 chinups..haha and i ran 9.29 which is so far mi best timing. Now all's left is the pass out parade rehearsal...shiok...

I tynk mi sister is damn dumb. She knew i'd be back on saturdays and sundays and she was so smart as to arrange for her frens to come over later in about 15min time to use the computer for the project. And even more so now tt it's the june hols and she could have arranged on the weekdays..and she still said tt i'm unreasonable. I told her to ask her frens over abit later like in about 2 hours time and she said i'm unreasonable again. Wad's the world coming to man. Spoilt mi brilliant day.

And argh...i'm gonna book in later at 8pm!! sickening! argh!!
