HHeyyy! Its a halloweeny day...well, not much in the way of ghouls n ghost roving n roaming about, but there are the odd ducks in masks, n uh...i did see dracula and..i only can assume igor. lol. Gotta give em a pat for being sporting. anyways, was down at bugis, wif me bud. But this is the moment o the day for me...n i guess its a pity that i'll probly nvr get to noe if this could have turned out differently, but...i was at the bugis stop. Takin a 851. n i had alrdy caught sight o this really cute girl. i mean cute is cute. but i dunno...she really was cute! *sigh* anyways, she boarded th same bus, bloody crowded it was too...n due to the crowd (useful for once...;p) i was stuck next to her for most of the trip.n the best part was...she got off at the same stop. n Sadly...i dint try to ask for her name...or even her no. I am so ...devestated? nope...but really disappointed in myself...

Even now, abt an hour from then...i can still remember her face. Dressed in a black top, black pants, with those adidas styled white sneakers...Cute round eyes..button nose...blue ring ear-rings...silky long hair...i mean, shes not that tall, but i think that adds to her cuteness...XD I pray that mayb...just mayb...i'll see her again. Would b nice just to get to noe her....*off to daydream bout her...:) *

Cheerio.

1- YEAR-SOLDIER~!

2005-10-01T17:00:00.000-07:00

1 year to O-R-D! wheeee...but along with it comes some shit tt i wasnt counting on. Blargh...kena downgrade but get lotta problems tt come wit it...speakin o which, its childrens day! wheee..Happy childrens day to all the kids out there...specially teh boys in S'pore. Your time will come soon kids, when u'll hafta follow in ur big daddy's footsteps, carry the bloody guns, wear the greens, n get screwed in BMT...! lol...

"ARMY is FUN Kids! Come meet your friendly drill sergeant n service the toilets! great tasty food catered by SFI! (what the hell is that? S'pore Food Industry. Havnt heard o em? Soon u will!) Get to play with guns! (Believe me, i prefer the good ol '16 compared to the sar21...) Grenades! Sleep in bunks with 3-10 other hormonally charged n repressed males...! The great outdoors! Experience taking a crap in the jungle...! All paid for and financed by the SAF! Join now!" ;p

Anyways, i guess NS is a pretty cool experience...i mean, it aint ALL bad, n it aint all good either. But what i really miss? Poly life...the carefree days, work, projects (i mean u gotta enjoy what u do right?) but most of all the people. All of that is mostly gone. People startin to live their own lives, move apart...times change. People change. Kinda left a huge imprint on me, n a rather empty space in here...that here being my heart.

I dunno...gettin sentimental nowadays...*sigh* But dun think anyone feels the same way i do...guess its just human nature. People love someone or something (usually sumone) so much, that they expect to get the same amount of emotion back...reciprocated. But that seldom is the case...probly explains alot bout the way hearts get broken out there. Ahh...lotta feelins n emotions welling up right now...geez. i need me a drink or sumthing...later.

2005-09-19T05:58:00.000-07:00

Hey! Pretty cool movie this! Fun to watch, altho not much of a plot n all, but still entertaining none the less. :) Interesting altho pretty stereotyped cast n characters. But i find that the plot kinda revolves kinda fast. Not enough time for development of the various interesting characters in the movie, speccially since they have alot of really unusual people in there. Watch it n you'll noe wat i mean...basically a feel good movie. Watchin just purely for the fun factor? then id give it a 7.0/10. Good stuff. :)

Sickie~

2005-09-10T02:35:00.000-07:00

Geez! Its been a pretty cool week in the army! What the hell am i saying? Gotta admit, Eng Recce Course is pretty damn fun...n im not just talking bout the funny instructors, the nights out, the canteen breaks, the freedom to do stuff n sleep, n...oh wait...yeah...tts y its so GAWDAMN GREAT! haha...this is about the only time tt im actually looking forward to the next day's activities!

Anyways, today was like any other, 'cept tt several others n i were invited to go back to poly to listen to the board give a pitch on workin for the schl, n stuff. I dunno...anyways, wasnt very constructive. Not to mention i came late so i missed abit o the bits of stuff everyone might have been throwing arnd...n then at the end of it...i fell sick. uGh....headache n nausea. Crud....probly the days activities in camp, what with the blazing hot sun n aircon. Usually happens to me. *sigh* missed a lil hob nob at the coffee shop with the mates cos o' that. Pah...

Well, woke up now n pretty awake...for awhile.;p Feeling a lil more chipper too, probly thanks to the sleep n the medicine. Geez...gotta book in later at 7. Havin the damn 21k run on Sun morn at 6 in the friggin morning!!! $!*^%# bloody army...mmm...time to go get some noodles to munch on....mmmm...noodle-ey....

Arrest Warrant~

2005-09-03T00:56:00.000-07:00

Nuthin much doin today...but man, this is probably the understatement of the day. Here's wat happened:

Was out with a few other dudes, n i wanted to get my other mate to join us. Anyways, hes serving NS too, but as a cop. Now, i call the dude, n im like "Eh! Amcham man...(hes malay) wanna go out later anot?" See, its like 7.45 in the evening, n he knocks off arnd 9. N he answers me pretty nonchalently, albeit with quite a bit of noise in the background, and i quote:
"Sup bro...ahh...call u back later arr. Making a arrest now...call u later."
n im like," uh...ok. Cya"
"Cya" *click*

WAT THE BLOODY HECK?! heck...tt line was in my mind the whole evening.
Ahh...anyways...back to work for my Encik. Hes a good dude. Work work...more work.

Zombified~

2005-08-28T02:35:00.000-07:00

Woah...pretty tired week. Back is aching from the 8km fast march on friday...n my knee is gettin wonky again. Oof...anyways, jsut back from the movies...G.Romero's "Land of the Dead". Pretty brainless (no pun here...;p) flick if u ask me. Its all pretty shallow for the storyline plotwise, but its fun to watch.

Some pretty cool characters in the show: U got ur main man, n his ever vigilant sidekick, who kinda watches over him. The sidekick is disfigured, but is a sly show with his WW2 vintage rifle. He licks his finger to get his foresight wet. "To catch the light" he attests. According to my fren who watched with me, this is trademark move of 'Sergeant York', an old american action character. Then theres the babe, nice bod too. mmm...curves....;p and theres the odd addition to the small band: A trio of merceneries. Theres this mexican/south american dude, who gets wasted pretty early in the course, another women (also gets wasted) n this HUGE dude who supposedly hails from Samoa. Hes a cool one, the big guy. Favorite line of his: "Lets do something."

Of course, the zombies are the main stars..."oogh...arrrh...uurrhhh" What issit about us ppl tt like to see ourselves getting into hot spots? Especially with creatures that are able to fight back. Something in the human psychology seems to like this aspect of being hunted or killed by something more able than ourselves. Or in this case, actually it is..or WAS ourselves. Oddly enough, with the fact that the zombies are 'evolving' to a more advanced state wherein they are able to communicate n think, wouldnt they at one point of time become no less human? Well...friggin ugly ones anyway...Fuglies. Hrmm...anyways, enough of the mumbo jumbo...its a gawdamm movie...;p

All in all i guess its a great movie to bring ur frens to watch just to get some fun. Especially girls, what with the shock value...or maybe the cling-onto-ur-arm-cos-im-scared value for the guys. Catch phrase of the movie? "Zombies, man. They creep me out."

Ahh...back-ache...oooh...guess i'll go get some rest. Pretty damn tired. Better get some shut eye or i'll be a zombie myself tmr..."oogh...urrh...arrrhhhg"

Bookin in~

2005-08-21T19:06:00.000-07:00

"Bookin in, see my sergeant.
See his face, Sibei sian~
Ev'ryday, kena tekan,
With my rifle n my buddy n mee~"

Haha...nah, it aint all tt bad these days. *Ho-hum* Anyways, pretty fine cool weather we're havin today huh? What with the clouds n showers n all. How bout it folks? all tt sunshine...i mean, even Mr Sun up there needs to chill once in a while.

Nuthing-much-doin today...just went to get a couple new CDs to groove to. (More money outta my hands...:( *sigh* ) Speakin of which, was walking past tt damn hotel next to Scotts. Now theres usually a Ferrari or a Porsche or some sporty piece of work there outside the lobby rite? But not today..! Today was different! Feast your eyes:

"I Gotta get me one o' these!"

Thats right folks! ITs a friggin Hummer H2!!!! Civilian variant of the US Armed Forces current 'High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle' - HMMWV, in short, Humvee or Hummer. Geez...i mean, yeah yeah, every one loves a nice shiny red ferrari, but they're a dime a dozen...But THIS! This is true blue American Ingenuity! Look at tt solid framework. This is the reason why traffic jams shouldnt b an issue. I mean c'mon, look at the puny car kissing its yellow metal ass...! Heck, it takes up the whole lane on the road. Mmm...Hummer.

Alright enough on the drooling...Orchard's a great place to be on the weekend. So many pretty girls, but so little time to take in all the wonderful views. *sigh* Its one thing to watch the world go by, and another to watch a nice leggy babe glide past. :)

Anyways,...whoops, its almost dinner time! Time to get changed n goin...Till next week, Cheerio...:D

Mobilisation..!

2005-08-20T23:45:00.000-07:00

Gawdamn Mobilisation. Total waste of time. Sheesh...Spent the bulk of the day at home waiting for the call...n making the calls to others. Although i did manage to stuff in some time for some battlefield. Heh. Anyhoo, heres to time wastage.

Report back to camp, n basically burn the rest of the afternoon n wats left of the evening. All that anxiousness was gone to terrible waste. Finally get out of the damn place arnd 8...! Play Lan with a couple of the Plt Sergeants n frens till bout 10.30. Terrible place it was too...IF ANYONE READS THIS, NEVER GO TO THE LAN SHOP AT THE BASEMENT OF PARADIZ CENTRE! THe one next to the pool parlor.

FInally back at home to chill...Argh...book in tmr tho. *sigh* Just two words for all this: Shit Happens. Cheerios.

2005-08-20T13:14:00.000-07:00

GWDAMMIT! Code Word Electric Wire...Really got mobilisation today. Piece a crap....now i gotta go call several other dudes...there goes the weekend. Argh...hopefully...hope...ill b back tonite...seems rather doubtful tho. Bah. #^%&)#(^&#@............

T-G-i-F~!

2005-08-19T09:28:00.000-07:00

Thank God its Friday!!!
Sheesh, every week its the same...book in...count down the days till friday. OMG, n theres still a year n a couple o months to go! *sigh* Had some steamboat at Marina south earlier in the evening, treats from the newly promoted personel. n also a treat for the outgoing sniper platoon. Nice chaps, wish em well! ORD lor~ Cant wait till its my turn too...! hehe

Reminds me, there was this table next to us, filled with girls. Now, there are gals n there are gals, but u noe when u spot a table of butches n le-...hrmm. I dun want tt to sound degretory, cos im kinda ok wif it. (I cant stand gays, but oddly enough, lezs are aight wit me.) Im just gettin this thing here: Why issit that they date girls who dress up n try to look like boys, but dun like guys...? I mean, some of em were pretty cute, but im sure they have their own impressions n stuff i guess. Psychologically, it doesnt really make sense to me, although i have heard the reasons for such behaviour from frens n all. Fact is, i had a couple o good frens, n they were both well, butches. But they were really nice people, great listeneres n all. Heck, i dun even noe what im trying to get here...ah, scratch it. Its one o those thoughts tt just pop by for no reason y'noe?

Anyways, after the steamboat, some o us went to the arcade next door. Y'noe those gun shooter games? yeah the one where u getthe big ass gun to shoot the screen...well, i had a couple o the sergeants playin it. I mean, the 2 main crazy-hardcore-regulars playin it. Guess it was kinda amusing to see em trying their hand at these things when they've done some of it in real life. Although i must say they wernt totally fantastic. ;p Apparently training doesnt apply to some aspects of digital warfare huh?

Crud, there seems to be a pretty damn high likelihood of gettin mobilised later today...gawdamn friggin armeee!!! I noe they gots their reasons for it n all, but if u ask me, its jsut another way o lettin u noe that 'they' can screw with ur lives just cos they can! Bah. Anyhoo, i guess tt's enough of my mad ranting for today...i wonder if ill b around tmr...guess i should get goin on tt damn t-shirt design for the company....d'oh.

Sun-daaayyyy~

2005-08-14T20:58:00.000-07:00

Ah...sunday...what a beautiful sunny sunday morn it was. Went to church then down to orchard Kino to get some books. There was this lil kid in his mum's arms who was standin in front o me. You know one thing about kids, if u wink at em, chances are ur gonna get some cute reaction.
Well, as it happened, he was adorable, n was evaluating my appearance, so i gave im a wink. He looked at me a lil more...then a lil smile broke across his lips n he waved..! lol...lil tyke. i waved back n he put up his lil fist in a thumbs up...heh...kids, love em or hate em, they're all pretty sweet when their young. Then they grow up into real monsters...lol...im kiddin.

Goin down to orchard, its really interesting on sunday. U get the chicks, the families, the bengz...the cool dudes...the whole she-bang. Really fun to walk down n see wat u can see.

Speakin of seein, wassup with Eurasian ladies/gals? they haf this whole 'i dun wear a bra' thing goin on...i mean, its not all bad for the guys, y noe? But i was walkin at taka, n this lady, mid 20s wearin a classy silver sleeveless blouse appears. Mmm...i shant go into the details, but there it is. I mean, is tt HOT in S'pore tt wearin a bra is gonna kill?...hrmm...y dun our local babes do tt? Wasnt there sum article some time back abt constant wearin o bras causin breast cancer?

Oh well, my mindless dribble. Anyways, went to kino, n spent like a hundred odd bucks on a novel n comics...*sigh* after tellin myself not to spend. I'm such a dick. Ah crud. Anyways...entertainment for the next 1 or two weeks in camp i guess...;p

Time to book in soon too, so i guess till next week, this thing's gonna b in hibernate. Cheerios.

Saturday Night Live!

2005-08-13T23:15:00.000-07:00

Ah...another saturday, another weekend. What do u do? Wake up late, stone away the morning either playin on the compy or just doin whatever menial tasks there are to do, n then, out to meet the dudes. Geez...my fren just bought a PSP.! Gawdammit! i am SO tempted to get one too...but to get one would mean starving n subsisting on dry bread n water for the next month or two. Naww...that wont do. MMm....P-S-P...shiny...smooth....black....shiny....*Argh!* must...stop...evil...thoughts...

*sigh* which brings the next question to my mind: When does a 'want' become a 'need'?
i mean...my mp3 is broke so i was kinda thinkin on gettin a new one...n the PSP does have mp3 playback...games...videos...ooh...oh yeah...but its half a friggin K in bucks! Haiz...just gonna hafta stick to the discman.

Hrmm...tt reminds me. All these old folk around, some of them really kinda misuse theire 'senior citizen' status...i mean, i had these two old ladies cut into my taxi cue...n they stand there ignorant tt people are behind em. i mean, u can open ur mouth...but will they listen? n u cant push em outta the way...pushin granma...i ask u. Ahhh...like my fren who was with me said "their expiry date is coming soon" . Lol...we're all gonna grow ol n wrinkly one day. Well, i hope so...healthy n all, but tt dun mean u can just do watcha like dunnit?

Anyways, time for the Battlefield to begin...;p Cheerios...

Friday 12 Aug `05

2005-08-12T11:50:00.000-07:00

Mmm...first post...like anyone is gonna b readin this, but i just felt tt i'd like to keep a diary (MAN tt word is totally passé) o' stuff tt goes on.

Down to funan for a little game of Battlefield 2. Still trying to rack up the points for the score to unlock more weapons...yeah, unless there are any gamers readin this...this one's for ya. ~Medic!

Back at home after a nice din wif army buds, how does pizza hut bite u? heh. Anyways, wats the great fuss about that new damn cheese pizza? Keep seeing teh damn advert on the telly in camp: "izza morzereh-lla..." "no, iz da cheddar..." "its the pahhr-mee-zaahn" yeah wateva....its so mm...'gelak' after a few mouths i dint really take a liking to it...anyways...im $20 less now...*sigh*

Guess i gotta go out less. Less u venture into the public, the less tendency there is to spend ur dollar. Isnt it tt the world nowadays is tuning more into a people who acquire items more of need then want? i find im like tt too...gotta curb the habit.

Guess tts it for a first shot. Cheerios...
