hey man. -pants- just came back from my run. distance? dont ask. wanted to run 2 rounds. but laziness got the better of me. ended up running one round only. and mind you. one round does not equate to 400m. like 2km thereabout? i seriously had nothing to do. and desperate housewives isnt gonna start till like 10pm? so journey to a healthy lifestyle i embarked upon. hope it'll continue and not just a moment of enthusiasm. i'm even thinking of buying dumb bells? haha. shall seek help from hunky darrell. hmm...

workwise, nothing dandy. same old stuff. still adapting to my cpl rank. like sometimes i'll still write pte hafizan? hah. and yeah. the guardroom's strength has surged to like 30? not tt i'd mind or anything. but seriously tt is a lot. and cpc keeps giving us malay rps! there seriously wudnt be enuff non-malays come hari raya 2005 if this carries thru. gosh. no good no good...

was on duty on saturday sadly. and this guard i prowled happened to be a fairsian? daniel foo or smth. i think the max volume his voice can go is set to pianissimo cuz i kept going huh whenever he talks? hah. and this other guy was telling me he often gets bullied. like recently some guys tied him to his bed after lights out and autographed on his stomach. and that was when he shouted. like how rare indeed. what dya say my fairsian friends? haha.

mom rented a car last night. mom's friend's sister's car. so she asked me and my bro out lah. went to west coast for brunch. didnt have anything to do so i suggested going to a travel agency to check out airfares and stuff. so off we went to causeway. so we were finding a parking lot. and i think she turned too early and the car's side hit the corner of the pillar! fuck man. like half an hour ago she just told me when turning, turn only when the car is half a windows length infront of the object next to the car? sigh. shudnt have suggested going to a travel agency. no choice but she had to rent the car for a few more days to have the dent fixed. think it costs 250 bucks? plus 150 bucks for renting the car. sigh. bloody wasted lah. totally anti-climax man! damn.

oh. and did i tell u my mom specially tailored a dress for her company's dnd last sat just to like suit the theme? and she spent 350 bucks lah. like happily. not like she's gonna wear it again or smth. sigh. so pardon me if i follow this trait of hers. hah. i'm going shopping this saturday! ahh. like finally man. checked my atm just now. still had a balance of 80 bucks. surprise surprise. seems like i havent shopped for eons. thanks to my new specs eh. sigh. cant spend too much also. really needa save...

oh yeah. i might not be going to us of a this june afterall. most prolly going brisbane or smth. i seriously wudnt mind eh. cuz my mom's willing to claim a free tic for me to vancouver [if the band peeps ever decide to go there] using her miles. cool shit! so gonna save money that way. just gonna need to save a lil for shopping and stuff. but nothing's concrete lah huh.

desperate housewives later! so gotta catch it man. heh. me, out!

hellooo. heh. its been long. lol. hmm... issit me or what? how come the homepage of blogger is all in chinese? why ah? blogger's having cny mood too? lol. anyway. met up with ling and mel last last sunday. its been eons since i last saw ling and mini-eons since i last saw mel. lol. went for lunch at marche. so guilty cuz i kinda came empty handed? ling had gifts for me and mel and mel baked brownies for me and ling. slacked around town. went clubbing. coffee style. coffee club? haha. right. then went to esplanade and there was this gig by some local band. not bad i'd say. just that the lead is a tad too irritating. spastic man. oh. had a really good laugh till i teared cuz of ling-the-troubleshooting-IT-expert's phone call. haha. wth... anyhow it was nice meeting them up yeah.

last week at work seemed kinda long. weekend just like took forever to come man. conference on thurs. my encik wasnt around. so sgtsheng took over him. it was bad. the regulars all came down on me. bloody fucks. i'm just an nsf. grr. nvm... shit happens. and i think my ao's so much nicer than my co tho alot think otherwise.

met up with s8 on saturday. diana's back! okay lah. she came back like last mth just that she didnt have time to meet us. so saturday it was. went sakura for dinner. good. cheap. ate alot but i still wasnt full. a pity jo cudnt make it tho. if not it'd be complete attendance. and rozi had to go off like after dinner? oh well. went chijmes after dinner. nice. had mocktail. i'm really hoping its mock tho. cuz mel said some mocktails do contain a lil percentage of alcohol. gosh. i seriously didnt knoe. hah.

scorpion plt 4 gathering yesterday. coincidentally we were all one year soldiers yesterday! heh. [oh btw. say hi to cpl hafizan pls. haha] attendance was kinda bad. only 9 of us turned up? and our plt had like 50? oh well. lunch at fish&co and then on to pool at lucky plaza. pool games wth shazi just took like forever cuz we're both newbies. haha. oh yeah. some guys appear nicer now than during bmt. hah. i think minus the competition to outdo one another and all lah huh. yeah. and when we were leaving there was a huge chaos. this guy was hit with a wooden stick till he bled? think the hit was kinda hard cuz i saw splinters of it. wtf. so us being the curious singaporeans joined the curious filipinos and surrounded that fella. gosh. blood all over. the police came like 5 mins later and shooed everyone away. so we obviously left the place. and we realised the path we took was the path the attacker took? cuz there were fresh blood stains on the floor and the staircase railings which shazi touched. happening ah.

on off today. so made a trip down to oakley's authorized distributor to have my old frame replaced with a totally brand new one. for a mere 30 bucks! cool shit. totally worth it after having spent so much initially when buying the specs. was reading thru this thing on the counter and it said the warranty doesnt cover scratches and etc. i am so glad my old frame is badly scratched AND corroded. cuz ur frame has to be corroded then they'll replace it for u? hah. nice. so now i got like 2 totally brand new specs. wth. and i kinda like the one kel wore when we met up on saturday. haha. right.

wanted to go to town after that but realised its pointless cuz i knoe i cant spend. i'm adhering to my new year resolution k. heh. went to lot1 and bought the brownie mix. not worth it if i buy coffeebean's brownies for 4.50 for that meagre piece when i can have a much larger one for 5 bucks right. tho i have to bake it lah. the brownies mel gave were kinda little. so little i finished all tt night itself. haha.

oh. my dad bought this router cuz we have another pc in the house. sadly the other pc can't connect or smth. oh yes. and whenever i use the router my msn keeps disconnecting? like only my msn [i think]? hai. what's happening man? anyone knoes? maybe ling will knoe. haha. oh yes! go get taufik's debut album man. the original compositions he sang are really good. and his voice is like smooth man. nice. so not sounding like he's a singaporean. heh.

alright man. its 3 working days for me and another long weekend! me, out. =)

hey man. on off today! heh. anyway i havent blogged about the 200 bucks which i could have gotten so easily but i didnt? yeah. the monetary award for a marksman is 200 bucks. i'm a bobo. i knew it. so obviously i wasnt aiming to get that lah. but on the first day of my range i was a marksman. haha. shocked and everything else of cuz. day shoot = 13/16. night shoot = 12/12. to get marksman u needa get > 22 outta 28. so obviously i got 25. but that was just my trial test. the following day was the actual test. day shoot i again got 13/16. could have done better but i kinda lost it towards the end cuz i panicked. even the sir told me to calm down. hah. a tad disappointed but i got 13! so i thought marksman was like akan datang. i thought. grr. night shoot i only managed to score 5/12. wtf. damn bloody disappointed. and so... those 200 bucks flew away. so much for having so much plans on what to do with it and all. sigh.

made use of my off today to replace those worn out parts of my specs at tj pagar. so they replaced my rubber sides and the holders [which rest on ur nose] free of charge. and they even offered to replace my current oakleys for a new pair cuz mine's a lil corroded! for 30 bucks. i mean. is that cool or what! was kinda impressed! but alas my model has no stock. so the girl said she'll call me up when the stock arrives in 2-3 weeks time. will prolly go on my duty off bah. and subsequently i can replace my lenses also.

it was still kinda early so i went to walk2. my curiosity got the better of me and led me to find those gay clubs. haha. found one. and this gay looking guy which came from tt club's direction kinda confirmed my suspicion. haha. so how mel? let's go check it out one day k. lol.

a friend of mine said i've got baby fat. this is bad. gonna go running every other day with effect from tonight! really hoping its not NATO. no action talk only. i shant procrastinate. yes i shant!

hey! its 2005! man its fast. a year ago i was dreading enlistment. but wow. its been almost a year since i enlisted into the army! heh. anyways, happy 2005 and have a blessed year ahead dear friends...

new year's eve was spent at home for me. haha. i nv really liked those countdowns anyway. and there wasnt any countdown shown on tv so i got really really bored that i got sleepy? well actually i did sleep. slept for 45 mins or so till about 11.30pm. haha. the reason i stayed up is to catch the debut of taufik's mtv. which was so banal can. wtf. seriously. the mtv was nothing but a collage of clips from his singapore idol journey? heard it'd be nicely and professionally done up all lei. oh well. so yeah. that was how i spent my new year's eve. it was like a normal friday-going-on-to-saturday thingy. nothing really significant.

went for high tea buffet at royal plaza on the scotts with my mom. oh man. the food there was so good i went for 5 rounds! and the chocolate dessert was heavenly. the baked seafood pasta. the dimsum. the beef steak. the turkey pie. omg. everything was just so nice. and its only sgd32++. quite cheap ya. anyway, after those 5 rounds went around to walk2 with my mom. and my mom was telling me she saw this nice pair of sunglasses the other day. so we walked into this optical shop lah. while she went to do her stuff i was happily trying on the oakley glasses on display. try and try. ended up buying one 10 mins later! seriously had no intention of getting one?! wtf. i managed to save 200 bucks this mth? and when i asked my mom she said okay?! wtffffff. only paid a deposit of sgd150. more than half to go. sigh. i'm telling u. unintended shopping is so bad it hurts.

accompanied marc to get his army stuff from beach road today. the boy's enlisting soon. aww. haha. bought his stuffs and we later bummed around at bugis. off to jp next. and went to my mom's for my dinner. been long since i last ate her cooking man. heh. so that's basically how i spent my weekend. oh yes. my new year resolution? be more thrifty!

and in 2 weeks time i'll be a one year soldier! woo hooo. ord loh! =)
