hey! its friday tmr! woo hoo! so fast so fast. and this week has been my slackest ever since i was posted to nee soon guardroom. lol. there's not much point shadowing my senior 24/7 so sometimes i'll just go to the rp's rest area and sleep and wait to be called if there's anything to be taught lor. went to seletar camp on tuesday with my csm for some meeting lah. i felt like some PA can? ha. got there and i dunno why but the meeting was cancelled or smth? so just collected some document and went home. i was home at 5! earliest ever whoa. heh. my rp sgt said i'll be shadowing for 2 weeks and i'm like 2 weeks is too long lor? for the past few days i've been doing nothing but typing documents and stuff? ha. clerk's job sia. enjoying it of cuz.

was helping to cover desk duty for a colleague of mine the other day since the corporals had a meeting with my csm. was doing with another colleague whu got posted around the same time as me lah? yeah. its like the first time doing duty and so many things had to happen lor. first there was some confiscated hp handed over to us from one of the classified unit's in our camp. being new we didnt know how to like take over and stuff? tts one. secondly, this alarm near the mdc i think sounded so many freaking times. thirdly they were doing some construction work near the incoming/outgoing barriers and suddenly the electricity to the barriers got cut off and they cudnt be opened? lol. so troublesome lor. we super didnt know what to do and all? haha.

my colleague said i'll be doing duty next weekend? which means the national day weekend! LONG weekend mind you. no i'm not gonna do. weekend duties are meant for extras and i havent signed any extras at all. i've been good. i just hope its some stupid joke. i'm fine with other weekends but not the national day one pls. shall kpo abit while the current admin spec does up the night duty plan tmr. duh i'm supposed to shadow him remember? ha. yeah.

amazing race yesterday was saddening man. wait the past few episodes have been saddening. basket. the nice guys always get booted out lor! i want the twins out. out out out. bitches. anyway! impromptuly decided i wanted to make brownies for myself to munch on while watching amazing race or smth? bot the ingredients and all. got home and there werent any eggs. didnt get to bake lor. maybe i'll bake on saturday b4 going to diana's for the bbq? it'll be the last time she gets to taste my brownies? sobs.

oh u know what? i found this really good deal? this guy's willing to buy my e700a for $420? and his friend's selling a brand new 7610 for $798 only? without line of cuz. tts like a hundred bucks cheaper than elsewhere lei! and if i were to get it next payday i'll be left with only $50+ to survive for a month?! shucks. i dunno man. but if i were to procrastinate then the trade-in value of my e700a will like drop? of cuz the 7610's value will drop too. but if they both drop at the same time i'll have to pay the same amount as now right? damn. i dunno. which benefit do i forgo now? lol. opportunity cost man. and surviving on $50+ for the rest of the month wont be easy cuz i have my retail therapy to tend to. and food! damn. think i'll talk to my mom about it and see how? not like she's gonna fork out money for the 7610. aiyahhhh. dunno.

now i'm anxiously waiting for the result of my basic theory test. really hoping i'd pass. duh. then can start driving liao. think i'm going private? cheaper my parents said. so okay lor. anything. i just wanna pass the first time round man. hah...

everything i know, and anywhere i go
it gets hard but it won't take away my love
and when the last one falls
when it's all said and done
it gets hard but it won't take away my love...

hey. i'm bored. nothing to do. so i'm gonna update. in paragraphs of cuz. haha. irritating... work's been... the same lah? so sian. nothing much also lor. except i hate being made to do the gate ic. hate seeing cars without neesoon camp passes [or visitor passes] speeding in and subsequently worrying tt my csm will find out. and i'll have to sign extras? extras are no good man. they're like extra night duties? two on weekdays and one on weekend. weekend?! nono. its bad bad bad.

had my basic theory test on tuesday. hope i'll pass. duh. didnt really study lah cuz i thot that the road signs and all are kinda self-explanatory? right. to pass i needa get 6 qns wrong. i already have 2. pls pls. i cant afford to wait 3-4 weeks for another basic theory + 2 more weeks for the results! wasting time. i wanna get my license asap.

had this life run thingy yesterday at bishan park. no work for me. haha. my colleague picked me up at teckwhye. it rained quite heavily since morning lah? so when we got there the run's postponed. so i'm hoping the same grp of pple will be going for the run this sat or smth. so i can escape work lah? man. working on saturdays are like super boring. time crawls i swear. anyway my colleague drove a citroen. his dad's tho. nice car man. speaking of my colleague he's actually from my sec sch?! omg. i swear i've nv seen him around man. anyway it was mac bfast at j8 with my colleagues and home after that. to sleep of cuz!

woke up at around 3pm to get ready and all. town with my band mates. man i missed a good show had i gone for my sec sch band's pop. lol. anyway. i couldnt shop also lah. so just see see only lor. thank god nothing like caught my eye. except for this black quik tee? like the grey prints. but above them are like pink lines?! wah lao. spoiler. went off slightly after jem came [sorry jem!] to meet my classmates. supposed to be a mini class gathering lah. mini indeed. three of us only? yeah. wanted to go pizza hut but they didnt have one at wisma anymore. didnt want to travel to ps. so ended up having nydc again! grr. had some e=mc2 drink. not nice. the pizza wasnt tt nice also. guess i shud just stick to what i normally order when at nydc next time. so ended up spending $20 on dinner when the pizza hut spaghetti meal thingy costs only $10. damn. i'm broke. so broke. i'm left with like $7 for 2 more weeks. guess i'll have to ask my parents for money. ha.

not gonna have any duties for the next 2 weeks. yeah! so no more gate ic and no more worries! haha. for now that is. my sgt told me to shadow my senior whus the admin ic? so whatever he does i'll be like doing also. after which i'll be the admin nco. can start planning the month's night duty schedule. so better be nice to me. haha. i'm gonna dread the admin ic's job. i can only type fast. duh. i'm not proficient with excel or whatever. tho given enuff time i can figure things out myself. whatever.

i'm so into avril's my happy ending. its so... angry. love the lyrics too. anyway! finally i stayed home on a sunday? ha. watched lizzie mcguire the movie. lacks the oomph which mean girls has. slept too. boring... just hope this week will just zoom by. haha. i'm like wishing for that EVERY weekend. duh. anyway gonna have a bbq this saturday at diana's place? she's like... leaving for australia soon. so yeah lor. think it'll be fun. gonna wear my nice ripcurl boardshorts. =)

whose eyes am i behind?
i don’t recognize anything that i see
whose skin is this design?
i don’t want this to be the way that you see me...
