just came back from a family BBQ at some unknown location (one of the many factories around in the kranji industrial park)... seems like today is the first time i had to type so many posts to tell about the events for the past few days (since i only got chance to use the com once every 2 days)

pretty tired i guess, after so many days of celebrations, guess xmas is comin to end soon too... though there is 12 days and this is just the 1st day only... but i guess everydae there will always be a different experience as compared to others...

long time never really go out with my family memebers le, so this BBQ proves to come in handy at the right moment... had a great time barbecueing all the chicken wings (though i not veri pro in it, but still can eat i hope)... but the best was still mahjong... playing with the pro (my aunts) is veri different when playing with friends lor... but nevertheless had a great time (cos really too long never play le lor)... gtg le... time to sleep early so that i'll be up early tmr morning for something else...
for yesterdae's event at merah...

hmm... booked in at merah, only to realised that i had to spend this year xmas eve with those on duty... the 7 of us had quite a day in camp... since i was asleep most of the time in the morning and afternoon (after the much hectic day at xia's house), i didn't really know wat the activities the rest were up to...

when i woke up, realise that they decided to order pizzas for celebrations... they actually ordered 4 large pizzas when there is just 7 of us (me, kao, daniel, jeremy,boon teck, the long-lost eddie and also our spec kevin)... there is just too much pizzas for us to finish that we ended playing games to finish off the rest of the food as forfeit... forgot how much i ate, but almost puked lor...

waited for the BDO and BOS to leave before we can really begin our celebrations... the BDO (though i really dun wan to comment on him) but he is really ****ed... dunno wat's his name also cos really make our day irritated (almost spoilt the mood for the day)... but i guess he can be good friends with our "beloved" BOS staff mel...

since i was the one on duty during the countdown, i was in charge of waking everyone up... wanted to press the turnout bell (so convenient lor) but i didn't wan to get a veri special xmas present... then Sgt Zai wei called us... thought he wanted to give extra le lor ( couldn't recognize the voice, thought it was PC lor)... but then everything ended up well, quite peacefully...
forgotten to post this when i wrote it on 23 dec...

wad a tiring day, but still managed to sneak out some time rite now to type this post from xia house... finally, after much planning, everything is set and in order (though not exactly that perfect yet)... but nevertheless still acceptable (since there is more ppl coming than expected)... write a short one before i go join the rest to play the forfeit game ( dunno drink up how many cups of those unusual mixture le lor)

these few days been slightly busy and confusing since the conference call between xia, mild and lin yesterdae nite... thought the whole thing will screw up in the end, but the eventual result is quite unexpected (really)... never really expected that more than half the class came...

things we did today...
firstly, me and mild met up at 1600hrs to buy tons of stuff (decorations, food and most impt instant noodles...)
then, waited under mild's house and saw the two cats she told me about
went to xia house to decorate the whole place (pardon for the childish deco, the best out of the worse situation le)
lin came and prepared the snacks... and wait for the rest to arrive...
the rest came... and we started the activities (hmm... can't remember wad i did le lor)
dunno since went we started playing the poker game (dun really know wat the name is but it's very fun, esp. with forfeits of course)
then came the pizza deliveries...
then ended up playing the spilling game (forgot who drank the most in the end lor)
watched vcds throughout the nite... "SAW" and "50 first dates"
before i knew it, it was time to pack up and get ready to book in le... haiz... quite a bad way to end the day...

i guess that's about all... maybe forgot some stuff too (somehow i realise i always seem to have very short term memory...)
merry xmas eve to all :)

whew... been a pretty busy weekend this week, lots of things to do (finally got time to sit down and relax while typing my post rite here at orchard library)... now like waiting for 2030hrs so that i can pass the birthday present to my sergeant before i go back home to rest... did quite a lot of stuff for today ba (technically speaking)...

wasted my thursday going back to camp for the contingency drills lor, cos RSM decided in the last min to clear his leave on that day, so i ended doing not much stuff on that day (except for the rountine duty work)...

fri is much more free, cos penghui was out most of the time in the day (cos his birthday) then i only had chance to meet him to go do something we neglected for a long time (swimming)... didn't really a lot cos we ended up talking about the hitman game (about trying to clear the mission lor)... then met weelun to celebrate penghui 19th birthday... went to play pool at cwp (again) to look for "yang cheng ling" but she wasn't there... wasted...at night went to watch out for meteor showers (informed by my bro in the last min) waited for 2 hrs then could see one...

today even a more busy day cos i met xia and mildred at such a early time slot... i guess the three of us are too tired cos we ended up in a stoning stage... we actually could waste 1.5hrs trying to decide on wat to eat for lunch before we finally got into Ajisen... spend almost 2 hrs eating and talking before we went to take neoprints (planning to do something special with it)... to much surprise we could think of wat to do after that and we ended up in Ya Kun eating toasted bread and chit-chat again... suddenly came to this idea of the xmas sleepover at xia's house on the 23rd... did a lot crazy planning for it, and decided to change location to mac... then there something shocking happened...

we were at mac discussing about the sequence of event for that day when suddenly out of nowhere, an unanticipated thunderstorm crashed towards us... all the drinks and fries flew off the table and the huge tentage next door collapse... the whole place like kenna tsunami like that lor (had a huge shock)... quickly went to seek shelter and see the aftermath of the storm... somehow we managed to escape (slightly drenched) before i went off to find penghui here at this orchard library...

tmr is another busy day (i guess) since i have towake up early to go my grandma's house to help paint the place... so i think the day will be over very soon ba... now looking forward to 23rd for the xmas party (since i'm the planner i'll have lots of things to do this week)...

haiz... thought could enjoy a long break from the army when i start clearing my leave this week, but in the end everythin had to be postponed (to an unconfirmed date)... and why is this so? cos the rsm decided to conduct some vul. test on thurs to prepare us for the security audit that's coming up (unknown date too)...as such, have to come back to do all the contingency drills again...

i think i'm having a writer's block now... can't really think of wad to write for now... been looking through some of my friends blog... then discover got so many photos taken inside... so i uploaded them in my friendster account lor... these photos a bit old ba, but reminds me of many fond memories back in sch... how i wish i could ord the very next min sa...

spend quite some time playing a very old game that i used to play online... neopets is quite a childish game some would say but still very interesting... cos i'm still waiting for penghui to pass me the hit man game... by then i guess i'll have more stuff to do back home again ba... now i guess i'll end here... do some fine-tuning to my blog lor...

couldn't find anything better to do these few days, so decided to stay at home and read books lor... my room got lots of books that i have read repeatedly yet i was never bored by them (dunno why also, good books will never be boring ba)... currently reading a collection of poetry by one of the singaporean poet... one of my A level lit text lor... so can u guess which is it? it's Another Place by Boey (used to calling by his surname)...

still remember all the hard work i put in when i first touched this book during lit class sia... used to think that this is an extremely tough book to understand, but as i read it more, the more it became clearer to me, and the more i grew to like this book... touched on a lot of stuff that still continues to "haunt" me even though i left it on the shelf a year ago... all the themes on existentialism and the singapore pysche, purpose of art...blah blah (words i learnt during lit class re-projecting itself inside my mind now) dunno whether this book got that huge impact on the rest of my classmates or not... so long never see them le... the last time got class gathering but couldn't attend cos something cropped up at the last min so cannot book out that day lor... haiz..

suddenly feel like writing another AP essay (been a long time since i write one le)... dunno why also, maybe army life forces me to reminisce about all these old stuff... maybe if i read more on the impactful poems, i might be inspired to write a new poem again... lol... maybe...

slacking at home abit sian also, like cannot find things to do (still waiting for boon teck to lend me his warcraft game to play)... reading and listening to music sounds like a good combination ba... exp when i'm reading this another place and also listening to corrinne may's songs can bring about more inspiration... more food for thought... gtg le... i can sense a surge of creativity arising...(doing a new collage as decoration in my room later)

bk out again le... finally resume back to the usual schedule... oc promised us a 4 mounting schedule no standby for all the hard work during COC and easthawk so got more time to slack at home and catch some sleep lor... also the time to plan more activities for the day offs to enjoy life...lol

the COC parade is not bad, except for the GOH fall out ba... wad the, GOH standing in the first row fainting lor... so much for being Guard of Honor... guess the rehersal before that is too exhausting le lor... haiz... if not for it, maybe the parade would be better ba (not perfect of course) cos the marching is still not the ultimate zai yet...

must start planning activites for the next 3 weeks le lor... the christmas festival is coming soon again... but too bad the eve cannot book out... clearing leave for the year also, so i guess got even more time to slack... can catch up with the old pals again... neglected them for some time le ba... maybe go swimming also ( need to tan off the sunburnt marks on my neck)... maybe organise mahjong session also ( xia if u see this u'll be overjoyed i guess)... lol

the lesson plan for next year...
- learn driving (top prority)
- brush up on my english (maybe go for speech therapy)
- read more books on pyschology, anthropology
- save up more money for uni sch fees
- meet up with long-forgotten friends
- learn a new language (French? Jap?)
- travel around singapore to look for food (a bit meaningless lor)
- gather more inspiration to start writing another script, short story?
- reflect on my life over the last year...
- others still under consideration...
