hello. and again im lazy to update -__- too preoccupied with other stuff. even though im idle like most of the time when im online. lol. am blogging over a light snack of nachos right now. perfect night snack. i just hooked up the USB connection to my camera, so this post would be showing some selective photos of the past 3 weeks or so.

something to highlight.

March 29th

a rather impromptu pool session with the old WBC guys. though it's not really the "original" everyone, pool session still rocked that day. not to mention it was a gay outing.

didnt really utilize my new camera yet, if i knew the pooling session would turn out to be spastic fun, i would have recorded it lol!!

watched Evangelion 1.0 you are (not) alone. and i'll give this movie a solid thumbs up : D ecchi and liger went to buy food and missed out the movie's opening 5 minutes lol!!! sian, i havent watched evangelion anime nor do i even read the manga, so im like a blur cock watching the movie. the storyline is kinda complicated, and i can see that this movie is heavily summarized. but i hate the ending though. wtf.

ended the day off with our dinner at taka. my recommendation. even though i never really dined in there before =x all i know is.. taka Basement is some sort of a foodie/snacking heaven. randomly chose a stall and the food was not bad. $8 for a set meal. decent pricing.

my dinner. forgot what's it called, but it's whatever rice with sweet sauce. tasted not bad.

YESTERDAY. (29th march)

wasted my farking time going out. i had been researching like hell online for a new pair of earphones. but this time i'm not actually looking for the sound quality factor, but actually, the sexy wireless factor. Singaporean markets suck. either they have giant headphones type which are wireless, or Creative's ear clipping wireless bluetooth earphones going for $169. the price isnt a factor, i just dislike Creative lol. furthermore, it looks damn ugly.

and so, back to where i was.

um ya, about the part i said i wasted my time going out.

i sort of went to SIMLIM to check out this bluetooth earphones made specially with ipod compatibility. reason why i went there was because thats the only retailer in sg bringing in that earphone model. and... the FARKING SHOP WAS CLOSED. FUCK.

and so.

for now, i guess i'll still stick to wired earphones and go for sound quality instead. looking back, those earphones cost a freaking $394. super not worth it if there were to be interference in signal and i get choppy sounds in my ears. but... i still hate tangly wires > : (

argh. lazy to update furthermore on that unlucky day.

time for some old pictures.

TODAY.

is another unlucky day back at camp. to add on to the misery, it's a MONDAY. and everyone has the monday blues, be it at work, school or whatever. and a usualy early morning at Clementi camp. we were instructed to bring our PT singlets and shorts and shoes for morning run because it's "healthy lifestyle day" but in the end there was no freaking run. crappy weight added on to my field pack for nothing.

ok la fast forward to the shittiest part of the day that got me so damn annoyed.

3 idiots reported that they lost their PSPs and cellphone. so it was a total of 2 PSPs and a nokia NGAGE missing in the lecture theatre. fucking hell. i hate thieves but. dont these faggots know HOW to take care of their precious belongings?! because of these 3 fuckers. my book out timing got extended to 8pm. not just mine, EVERYONE's.

hmph.

so we sat on grass and stared into space for 3 hours. with annoying insects crawling up our bodies. we endured all these shit just for 3 dumbasses. our Captain wasnt that good either. instead of letting us book out at 6pm after the thorough inspection of all our bodies and bags, the answer is CLEAR. the thief wont be that DUMB to hide the PSP on his body or his back. thinking like a good thief, it's logical that he would either hide it somewhere, or ask some other soldiers around to quickly leave the campsite with PSPs on his behalf. argh enough ranting already.

im kinda tired. i slept only 2 hours the night before. i was a freaking zombie in camp. and i feel my insomnia is returning back. the nightmare days might be back again afterall.

hello. happy (late) 20th birthday to myself. it's march 25th. first day of my new unit posting was yesterday. over at clementi camp. and im loving this course like hell lol. the perfect vocation for me since i hate chiong sua like hell. im a regimental police, so that means that i'll be guarding army camps for the next of my 1 year +++ army life before ORD.

the course is really super slack, we all marched like shit and the only thing we get is just some nagging from our respective sergeants, goodbye to the pumping days. and the BEST THING IS, i get to GO HOME EVERYDAY :D:D:D:D:D

but this course is only 10 days though. after that, i get posted out to another camp again to do my job as an RP.

*reverse time*

Birthday was a quiet occasion for me. i dont really like big birthday parties or whatever shit. neither do i expect presents from friends, just a humble "happy birthday" is enough to make me happy. oh well, i have 2 birthday cakes in my refrigerator right now. no intention of eating them eat. and both are oddly DORAEMON cakes wtf. thanks to my mom la. hahah.

i wanna blog more but... this is really time consuming. i have to wake up at 530am tomorrow.

tomorrow then.

to a friend.

hellooo. so far this has been the one and only day that i actually stay home. and how boring it could be just staying home all day long. i just wasted half the day by sleeping -__- blame the cooling and rainy weather for it hahah. sgcafe is just getting boring-er and boring-er by day. but i found myself something to do to keep myself occupied for the whole day - which is.. playing my PSP. ended up hardcore playing my PSP till nightfall, naturally ignoring all the basic meals of the day. so yah, i havent eaten.

YESTERDAY. (18th March)

went to Elle's house for jamming session lol. i havent touched guitar since the start of this new year and i thought it would be a nice start by having an anyhow jamming session. so i suggested the meeting timing to be at 7am. obviously they thought i was joking but actually i was dead serious about it -_- i woke up 545am that morning, but knowing the rest had a 99% chance of oversleeping, i went back to sleep hahah (i was farking tired too anyway) so ended up meeting Elle at 1pm instead at IMM.

cab fare killed me. freaking $17.70~!!!!!!

had lunch at Subway and realized having lunch there wasnt worth it. felt like it wasnt even a meal la, more like a morning snack -_- god, my appetite has increased a lot ever since i entered NS. been eating bigger portions of food and getting hungry far easier.

2pm.

started setting up my equipment in her living room. elle has a pretty nice apartment hahah. executive apartments are cool. if i had one i would be sliding down the staircase every morning lol. i brought my full guitar gear today, so i'm carrying almost 8kg of loads on my body. heavy shit, but it's my serious jamming gear.

Dawn came back later to join the fun. but basically the only proper song we jammed was Glamorous Sky hahah. let me recall.. i think we jammed that song non stop about 10840185250294 times that day?? people might think that we're crazy and not get sian of playing the same song over and over again, but i dont. maybe it's because i havent played the guitar in a while, so anything is fun.

7pm

dinner time. aiya. wanted to eat at Pizza Hut, but the other 2 were broke. if i didnt take that dreaded cab earlier maybe i could give them both a treat. im getting poorer by day. just because of my happy-go-lucky spending habits. especially on transport la. had chicken rice over at the nearby kopitiam instead. which totally isnt filling so i added a chicken cheese burger as a side. which was still.. not filling enough.

830pm.

left Elle's place and i was damn sian la. the night is still young and i dont wanna go home so fast. so i walked around alone, exploring Jurong a bit. always been a North-Easterner for my entire life, i wanna see how Jurong is like. walked into Jurong Entertainment Center and wandered around. going into arcades, bla bla. got sian again, so i did the most unpredictable thing-- watch a movie randomly. watched Rule #1. chose it maybe because i know Fiona Xie is acting in it?

my rating... i think the movie is pretty well done with a nice twist at the end. thumbs up for Kelvin Tong, a local director for this film. and it's scary too. i hadnt got the slightest clue that it was a horror movie, all along i thought it was some cop flick. not until the opening scene of the movie, a ghost girl actually appeared. wtf. and yes, shawn yue looks really good in this movie. so did Fiona.

1105pm.

i didnt wana go home yet. even though im carrying a heavy load. i just disappeared somewhere into the abyss...

NOW.

it's 1251am. im just desperately waiting for time to pass. because there is a MANUTD MATCH LATER ON AT 4am!!!!!! and meeting that low end team that miraculously beat manUTD the last time wtf. i hope they get trashed this time -_-

and now, time to upload some pictures from my new camera. i know i have shaky hands la.

our jamming gear!

some snacks bought from Japan, courtesy of my dumb sis.

and my snacks bought for tonights soccer match.

hahah. possibly we're having a roti prata outing tmr. just the right time when i was just about to ask people out. yay!! ok, time for me to play PSP soon, 3 more hours to go before the match...

it's a rather short day today. actually things screwed up my evening activity. there was actually supposed to be an sgcafe movie outing. but from the progress of the thread, and response, i already had a strong feeling from the start that it would not materialize. and duh, it didnt. the threadstarter is such a n00b. organize an event but left out so much details, such as time and place of meet, activities to be done, and worse, no contact number given. wtf. i actually wasted my time trying to retrieve his number also from other sgcafe ppl, just to know that it's been cancelled. bleh.

but that aside, the cancellation of that outing actually led to better things for me lol.

i met my mom over at Funan to change my ATM card into a Debit card. so i can use it as some sort of credit card now and buy things online under my name. but before that, i was loitering around the shops in Funan looking for a possible birthday present. and i bumped into some of my ex-Lasalle mates while having solo dinner over at KFC. it was quite awkward la but our conversation was quite funny. and i told her im waiting to enter NS hahaha. i cant just possibly tell her straight that IM WEARING A WIG. that would be.. quite embarassing. and it'll dampen my ego also.

635pm

i was busy eating and my mom kept rushing me to go up to POSB or else it'll close in "15 minutes time". bleh. i continued taking my own sweet time to eat.

later.

so, the entire process of getting that new card was quick. but i would only get my debit card mailed to me within the next 2 weeks. which is a little.. err long. by that time i'll be stationed in my new farking Unit.

but after getting the new card with my name engraved on it, it wasnt the end.. yet. i sort of went window shopping with my mom for my birthday gift. and today ISNT my birthday. it's in 4 days' time. and how convenient that we're in FUNAN MALL. just the right place that i would wana be to be shopping for my birthday present hahaha. Last Year, i got an xbox 360 there too. but this year? hmmmm.

7pm.

we turned in circles looking at cool gadgets. but what should i really get.. video game consoles are definitely out. cellphones too. though i've always admired the iphone. and Japanese cellphones. and recently i've been looking at the Archos TV. which is basically a portable video player. up to 160gb of storage and has WiFi too for web surfing. but... do i even have THAT much of videos to watch in the first place? besides, singapore is so small, the longest time i spent sitting down stoning in a public transport is still lesser than 2 hours.

that leaves me with one last thing.

a camera.

after not much hassle, i settled on a SONY DSC T200. for a good $599, it has pretty good reviews online and in magazines. with a sleek look and wide touch screen, 8 megapixel camera. and i chose BLACK. woohoo. thanks for the camera, MOM!! a nice early birthday gift too. packed with some free gifts. including 4gb worth of memory sticks. good stuff, i could use it on my PSP too since it's also a SONY product.

happy i am, but that's not the end. i went upstairs to grab myself a PSP game. even though Ecchi modded my PSP yesterday to play pirated games, im just plain lazy to download any PSP ISOs off the net. damn time consuming also. so i rather buy it off the shelves for extra convenience. and i paid for this game myself. none other than the latest version of Winning Eleven lol!!

i know some of your jaws will drop. you're probably wondering how on earth i could be playing one staple type of game for so damn long on the PSP right. hahaha.

oh ya. i bought my mom a DORAEMON cake as her birthday present. childish as it may sound. but i think it looks cute hhahah. too bad i dont have any working camera or else i would have taken pictures of the stuff i've gotten today.

im a happy boy today.

4 more days to go..

goodbye to teenage hood.

argh fuck. im having a headache now. must be under eating again. i havent eaten anything much for this whole entire day. all i had was just 2 pieces of KFC chicken and pepsi for the WHOLE day. time to search for something to eat in the kitchen. this headache is irritating me.

Repair the misery.

arghh. been a tiring day. have been pissed over things and cooled down gradually over the next few hours. there has been several events over the span of these 2 days. Matsuri that is. over at VivoCity. quite an inconvenient location for most people since it's near sentosa, which is no where near the heart of Singapore.

Saturday.

first day of Matsuri. which was the Jrock event. i never liked jrock. i just came over for fun. lots of familiar faces around, though i do not know most of them in real life. but their pictures keep appearing on sgcafe. the first band didnt play till like 6pm? we came like, 12pm. so it's 6 hours of waiting and stoning. went Daiso and wasted time there. Vivo really sucks for entertainment, besides for their one and only cinema there, which is packed 99% of the time. so watching a movie at Vivo is like almost impossible on a weekend. and E-ZONE there SUCKS big time. they are still featuring TIME CRISIS 2 DAMNIT. WTF. dont know how WOLS they can be.

thankfully, our solution for boredom was solved temporarily. we found a PS3 booth featuring OUR FAVOURITE FOOTBALL GAME!!!! so me and liger hogged the machine for the next few hours or so. till there was even a small queue forming up behind us lol. it was damn fun la. eye candy graphics, solid gameplay, only flaw i could find would be the slow running on screen. even super quick runners like Cristiano Ronaldo look like a farking turtle on the field. kept winning liger was the best part HAHA!!! so fun. makes me feel like getting a PS3 for my big day. but wait, since my block leave is only temporary, getting a console would be useless.

6pm.

k, so the bands started playing. i almost fell asleep. fine, i know the guitarist has skills, but it's just mindless shredding to me. and pure showing off. even when the vocalist took the stage later on, i can barely hear he's singing la. it's just like a muffled noise all the way. so bored i was, i decided to go walk around, grab some fresh air and stay away from the noise.

overall, i could say the whole jrock event was quite a bore la. the crowd was rather dead when the bands were playing. and when the crowd is dead during a band's performance = boring show.

SUNDAY. (today)

ok firstly, a very happy belated birthday to my mom who turns 40 something(seriously i dont know her age up till now even though shes my mom lol) so i just say "happy 50-something birthday mom!!!" then my mom gave me that cold stare and say, "oi im no where near fifty. still sweet 16."

lol wtf.

ok, back to stuff. i woke up early for fuck. took a cab for fuck. wasted over $14 for fuck.

i think i wouldnt wanna talk about what happened early afternoon anymore. just annoys me.

and so,

i just went home later instead over the dumbest reason, stayed home for a while, had lunch of my mom's cooking (at least it's free. thank god i didnt spend at Vivo. ) and left again soon later to meet Elle and Ecchi at Punggol MRT, to go to Matsuri yet again -___-

around 530pm.

reached Sky Garden and there was the cosplay thingi going on. so i stood and watched. saw many many more familiar faces. waved, waved, said hi here and there. ran away. didnt do much again though. just enjoyed the sea of good and bad cosplay all around. i think the reward of funniest cosplay ever would go to this dude cosplaying as Cloud from FF series sitting amongst the crowd. i dont know why, but i find him damn funnny hahahahha. his wig looks like a live porcupine sitting on his head, and his expression is super sian. just looking at him brightened up my day already hahahah.

645pm.

randomly suggested to eat over at Marche since it's damn near anyway. actually i didnt wana eat at all la. but since im already there, might as well buy something light. bought 2 cakes. a mango cheesecake and some fruity pastry. set me back farking 11 bucks. expensive shit. and the mango cheesecake was super sour la. kept frowning when im eating it. looks like im having constipation just by eating a stupid slice of cake.

715pm.

bid goodbye to friends. and i rushed over to the airport to meet my family and pick up my sister as well who's coming back from her holiday in Japan. (jealousy enrages all over me)

my mom kept rushing me to reach the airport 8pm. and blah, i reached on time okay. but , i ended up waiting over an hour for my parents and sister to show up. i kept losing in Winning Eleven and it added on to my frustration. already pissed for the day already and kept losing in the game is making me even more pissed. then suddenly Xeths from sgcafe called me lol! like wtf, it's damn unexpected. ok la, he's having his guard breaktime so i guess he's bored so he called me up for a while to talk cork. so we talked about the usual. BMT life. it's guy stuff la.

9pm.

FINALLY. they showed up. and we went to join the long queue outsides Swensens for our extremely late dinner. and to further ADD ON to my frustration. my mom told me that my sister hasnt gotten a single thing that i wanted her to get while she was in JAPAN. so i got even more annoyed and starting scolding her like hell.

like wtf, you've got 8 days in NIHON, and you call me up using the public phone just 2 days before your flight back here to enquire about the stuff i asked for. isnt it plain obvious that you just dont really bother about getting my stuff. and furthermore, you're in FUCKING TOKYO. how easy is it to find a fucking costume shop there. unless you walk around there with your eyes closed. dumb sister. seriously. how useless can you be.

and "busy" as an excuse is the dumbest thing i can hear, especially from someone on a FREAKING HOLIDAY. it's a fucking vacation, not like as if you're working there right. FUCK.

im sorry. just venting my anger here. lol. but for that moment when i was told that she hasnt gotten my stuff, i was really hyper pissed untill i almost thought of skipping the entire dinner.

but anyways, in the process of me cooling down while sitting down on the comfy sofa seat at Swensens, my dumb sis explained to us her great experience in Japan. great food, clean city, cute people, great service standards. duh. i already know. then my mom was so taken in, she declared that, me, my dad and her are going to Japan next year together hahah. yyay!! minus my dumb sister!! it's better that way.

and so,

my dinner at Swensens was a REALLY heavy one. ate till my stomach literally exploded. plus a chocolate fondue at the end. and i cant finish my milkshake. it was really too much la.

reached home like 1130pm. my sister bought me a shirt from Harajuku for me as a birthday gift. the cutting is great, and even though it's M sized, it seems to fit me perfectly. though it may seem a bit girly to me, this 3/4 sleeved shirt is nice! hahah finnaly, a consolation gift for me. and ya, also a bag of Japanese goodies/snacks and candies. ok, so she's not that useless afterall.

anyway, my mom is gonna change my ATM card to a debit card tmr, so i can buy whatever things i want online. so i can still get my pikachu suit afterall(if i can find it la) and other crap. but i'll have to bear with shipping charges and the time taken to ship to our tiny island. it's still better than nothing.

just realized that my block leave seems to fly so fast without me even noticing.

im left with one week exactly.

i'm going to make use of this vacation period to the fullest.

lonely and pleading phantasm,
we only get what we see, gazing so desperately..

im now blogging from a random toilet in cityhall. just happens to have a decent signal here to connect to wireless@sg. i dont know what's wrong with me. but now, im acting like a 15 year old emo girl. im just 3 minutes away from a piano exam in this same very building but, i know im going to fail it. the exam has been paid for since last year, but due to my sudden enlistment into NS, i didnt have much time to spend on the piano. and now, the big day is here, just minutes away. but my confidence level has gone down like crazy. and now, im contemplating to skip the exam. i know lots of shit is going to happen over this. for example, my cellphone is going to start ringing like hell, and im going to avoid picking it up like an emo girl who just got dumped by her boyfriend.

and.

i'm really sorry, mom.

i know this would affect you.

but i just dont wana humiliate myself in front of those kids who taking the exam too.

it's great to be back again. after more than a month's absence hahah. glad to say that yesterday, the 11th of March was my Pass Out Parade. (POP) for those who dont know, it's the graduation parade for army recruits like myself who have successfully complete Basic Military Training (BMT). most of the companies have 9 weeks of endless and tiring training while my company has 13. how unfair right. should have told myself to take NAFA earlier and pass it before my medical test at CMPB. oh well. i passed all the criteria in BMT. but can say that i'm a damn slack solider because im super lazy at completing tasks. now i'll have a well deserved 12 day break before i get my unit posting on the 21st, which is unfortunately my birthday as well. hopefully SAF gives me a nice unit as a birthday prezzie. NO SISPEC PLEASE. im not commander material.

it really felt good yesterday to perform in front of a huge crowd of guests, even though our uniform was drenched like crazy under the heavy rain, and for my parents especially. but i got suay at the end of parade. because we're supposed to throw all our jockey caps in the air at the end of the parade. i threw mine damn high up in the sky and i dunno where it landed, so i lost my jockey cap on graduation day -____- i dont really care la seriously. i havent washed that jockey cap ever since i've gotten it on enlistment day 3 months ago. it stinks like hell. my company was the first to leave the island and i'm damn happy. but wait, im feeling a bit emo at the same time. because.

it's the last time i'm ever gonna see my platoon mates ever again. i'll definitely miss the guys in my section. a bunch of colorful and funny guys. some people whom i hate in my platoon, i dont even bother going up to them or maintain eye contact with them. just like one fat indian fucker. and i feel for those who dont have any guests to bring. that means they go home alone just like that.

the night before POP is already engraved deep into my memories. it's the one and only night that our sergeants dont care whether we sleep or not, they allow us to do anything we want. so people from other platoons were doing their own shit la, like play catching and other nonsense. my platoon had a few birthday guys so we celebrated by having a crazy food party in Section 1. birthday guy bought over $90 worth of snacks from NTUC hahahaha. beating me hands down. because i usually spend about 50 bucks every weekend to bring in snacks for myself and my section.

but i got a hint that something wrong was going to happen to me. because im the shyest guy in the platoon. every night during shower time, i always take the extreme left cubicle because nobody can see me from there. because im also scared to appear naked. even though it's an all-male community.

k la. i'll go straight to the point. on the night before POP, 8 guys bound me to the floor and stripped me. first, they wrap me up in a blanket and push me to the ground. i was struggling like fuck la. and screaming like hell. then they unwrapped me and got 4 guys to hold back my arms. and the rest just pull off my clothes lidat. i was damn pissed off but knowing since it's the last night, i shouldnt care la. just took it with a pinch of salt, put on my clothes and went back to eat.

3 months passed. we went through a whole lot together. from getting punished as a platoon, sweating, eating, having fun. i really really will miss you guys. BMT life is really fun after looking back on all the things we did together. Platoon 3.

*tear drops from eye*

okay okay no more EMO-ing liao.

yesterday night after we got back on the mainland. waited eternity for the bus to reach Pasir Ris Interchange. then my father suggested to have dinner over at East Coast. good idea hahah. it's been dammmmn long since we ever had dinner together as a family. since my parents are always so busy. they took off together just for me. my sister is in Japan right now and im damn jealous. she could have waited slightly longer till today maybe. so i can just go too. heck, anyway i've sent her and SMS for the list of stuff i wana get in Japan. she better read the SMS.

and so.

we went east coast to eat. i suggested seafood again (duh) dinner was good. had the usual again. BBQ stingray + greens, satay, cockles. it was nice. and there was barely a crowd there since it's only a tuesday night. haiz. before that, the car whizzed past a lot of nicer restaurants behind. like Waraku Japanese Restaurant and even a KOrean charcoal BBQ restaurant. way better choices. but my parents dont fancy these kinda food.

and now.

back home and enjoying my 12 day break to the fullest. sian. i thought i could go shopping in town today without anything bothering me. but i have to go for piano class instead. i like playing the piano. but. ever since i enlisted into NS, i barely had any time to practise. and i'm having my piano practical exam this FRIDAY. im so gona fail it la. chop. with so many different sections to cover and even one song totally unlearnt. i might as well drop the exam. but i cant do that, my mom will definitely kill me. since the fees for the exam were already in. and my piano teacher has been recently vomitting blood over my piano playing performance lol. aiyaaaa. i dont wanna disappoint my mom. but this kinda things really bo bian.

since i'll be damn free from now till 23rd. time for some serious shopping. hello new clothes and bags.

im a little disappointed over the SGCAFE community. the last time it used to be damn lively with lots of outings and other fun crap. but NOW????? it's like barely an outing. and being MIA for so long, now suddenly got so many new weird clubs and new people. it's like totally different from the past. please bring the past back.

i wana watch SKy Of Love. last week i caught L movie alone and i think it was great. L was damn funny and he looks good in it too.

arh hungry.

time to hunt for breakfast in the kitchen.

byebye.
