ling's 21st bday at hangout@mt emily. the place's not bad seriously. except for the location. i.e. the inaccessibility. gosh. we took 45 mins to find the freaking place? best thing was that we backtracked when we thought this particular road was leading to nowhere, when that road could actually lead us to the hotel in like 5 mins? right. champions.

got her this beaded belt thingy. which to me kinda resembles a wrestling belt, girls version. haha. its damn heavy can. its nice tho. bought it at bugis street. and seriously, i nv knew there were so so so many shops there. its like a slightly ulu annex or smth. haha.

oh yes. bitchy me came along and freaking scolded the manager of burger king. fucker. i was queueing up, and he told me the cash register had no money in it! indicate that its closed lah fucktard. the cash register's capable of doing that, no? bet you were bk china trained. fucking prc. oh yes. my csm specifically disallows me to take my off days on fridays or mondays, unless i ask him for permission? wth! only me? so what? if i'm not at the guardhouse the guardhouse cannot function lah? duh. biatch.

i thought of having a 21st bday party. but having to entertain so many different groups of my friends wouldnt be an easy task man. i kinda like hangout though. its like a chic budget hotel. or maybe i'll have many many parties for different groups of friends. hmm.

2 more weeks. just 2 more weeks and i'll be able to spend again. think i'll send my ipod and digicam for a wrap. hope it'll hide the lil scratches here and there. haha. me, out. ;)

boohoo. duty yesterday was so freaking boring. so boring i could cry. i simply had nothing to do. at all. the promotion of me to rp spec simply means i'll be doing nothing, just making sure my 2 duty RPs do their job that kinda thing? which is good. which is equally bad. bah. the weather was so hot i couldn't even sleep. sigh. and pimples never fail to appear the day after my duty. grr.

so, duty off today. i thought i wasn't gonna be busy. thought. grr. and i left during lunch time when one of my sgts was out for lunch. haha. and when my csm wanted me to manually shift his c drive files to another drive, i suggested that my understudy do it instead of me? and he didnt quite appreciate that? lol. but the good thing is i'm slowly handing over to him. i hope? and it so wasn't conducive for me to sleep cuz the apartment above mine was undergoing renovations? drilling and shit? bloody hell!

saturday was spent catching up with an old friend. and trust me, you're never gonna enjoy yourself knowing at the back of your mind you're on duty the next day. sigh. the worst thing? i gotta survive on 80 bucks till the next payday. which is possible. if you blindfold me whenever i'm in town, or anywhere. hmph.

oh yes. the writer and photographer for army news came down on my tuesday and they interviewed me in my csm office [lol!] and believe it or not, they were done in like 2 minutes! freaking hell. and they took many photos. i hope they pick a decent one man. and it's the july/august issue. so fellow soldiers, look out for it ya. haha.

my indonesian cousin's in town? but apparently adit has sch so he couldn't come. sadness! i miss him. and he's turning 6 on xmas eve. so fastttttt. my mom was there last month and she told me adit keeps complaining about his parents ever being so sticky? haha. "before we go to bed i'll be in between the both of you. but when i wake up, you'll be sticking onto daddy!" haha. adit to his mom? freaking cute. :D

what's the opposite of chronological? think i'm blogging in that sequence man. what the heck ah. oh yes. was watching mcfly's music video just now. they went to some ugandan orphanage where all the kids are hiv-infected to film it. it's so sad i just teared? gosh. volunteers, anyone?

these few days have been good. super short working week for me. course was so so basic it totally bored me. i bet the certificate's worth zilch. haha. being away from camp feels uber good. and pissed i was when my colleague dropped me a msg and asked me whether i'm the one who does the leave application. and i replied "no. its just that when i'm there they make me do everything." yep. even menial tasks like composing an email. hmph. there u go.

it was a boring saturday. spent it at home, happily. highlight of the day was receiving a phone call from my mom. she went "ur stepdad's asking me to bring the both of u to UK!" holy lord. totally when i least expected it! haha. think i'll be going in sept/oct. gosh. nothing's been confirmed, but i think it will be soon. think i'll exhaust my leave then, if i go for 2 weeks. [which means i wouldnt have any leave to clear before ord. lol] my mom even suggested stopping over for one night at amsterdam, or go for a 2 days trip to paris. cool shit! schiphol, here i come! wheeeeeee.

and prolly i'll check out the unis there and enquire as well. perfecto. and i decide to curb my spending for these few mths to the bare minimum. plan to save up about 500SGD. plus the foreign currency i'm holding now i reckon that should suffice. got a shock when my mom suggested bringing 300 pounds there. that's... crazy.

should go down to oxford language sch soon to get my money back and sign up somewhere else so hopefully i can start soon. and by the time i leave for UK [and paris] i'd have a french vocab enough for me to get around town. haha. cant wait cant wait!

bought a quik tee just now. couldnt resist, too nice eh. so that leaves me with about 200 to spend. and that includes my transport and my hp bills. sigh. this is bad. but nvm. i'll survive. philippe starck wearing me, out! :D

hey man. enjoyed myself throughly the previous weekend! haha. the gathering on saturday was one of the best we've had. nono, i think that's the best cuz we had full attendance. dinner at thai express and some chilling out joint at bugis. had wanted to go to this boardgames cafe at bugis but settled for some homely-feeling cafe. stayed there for like 2 hours plus playing card games. didnt know playing murderer was so so fun. haha.

sunday afternoon was spent discussing IT problems with ling and tz over lunch. hahaha. nice. met an ex-classmate over there too. went to the east to meet a friend, and i met another friend over there. meet the friends weekend man. thoroughly enjoyed myself, really. heh.

then again, its not always rainbows and butterflies. work sucks. its saddening whenever i see my colleagues sleeping and having nothing to do. iso meeting on tuesday, my csm said he didnt want me to follow him. so i was like freaking happy? and my colleague had to sabo me and said he didnt know how to type minutes and my csm was like "nvm. call hafizan!" right. i know nuts about typing minutes. so there i was recording down things said which i felt were important. duh.

the only consolation i had was that its a super short short week. on some powerpoint shit course today and tmr. and i'm on off on monday. haha. so its a super super long weekend. and pay's in tonight! double yay-ness! oh. the course is super boring cuz its super super basic. zzz. and since its near bugis, i walked past edna's shop cuz she claims her colleague reminds me of her? no lor edna. that guy's like so meek? haha.

oh? did i tell u i might be backing out of my french class? hai. they keep postponing the first lesson? i dunno. its so dodgy. oh well. i really hope i can get my downpayment back. that would mean an extra 200 bucks to spend! woohoo. oh! army news is gonna interview next week regarding my heroic act. !@#$%^&...

okie! time out time out. so so so loving my phillipe starck, me!
