2011

I don't exactly remember what i was doing in January last year. Probably enjoying life to the best i could because the following month would be the next chapter in my life. Body clock was severely screwed up as i was literally a nocturnal being, only awake at night and sleeping when the sky's bright.

February was the month when my hair was the shortest ever in my entire life other than when i just came into the world. Tasted abit of hardship and what it was like being away from home and only being at the mainland for roughly 24 to 36hours before taking the ferry to a particular dreaded island. Was so hard to see my parents wave goodbye at departure that i had tears in my eyes.

Things carried on for another 2 months, meaning that i only went home for about 7 times (once per week) and in April, i'm back at the mainland with clean water and the infamous cough was gone. Received my A level in March after my field camp. Got a ABC/A with a D for gp, landing me in an ok course at nus. Had to be content with what i got because i really tried my hardest given the circumstances i was in and can only hope to do much better when i'm in university.

Made some friends in the 2 months at the island and happy that almost all of us stayed together in the same section for the new course from April to June. That was when things changed and went for the bad. Friends parted and i took the uncommon path which led to me straying off the conventional way which i should be leading in the service.

There were many ups and downs from June to December. The best four months came from within this six months period and i'm really thankful for those days where i met great people. Of course let's not talk about those that aren't worth mentioning.

2011 was the year that i became an uncle too. Slowly feeling that i'm growing older and the way i look at things are much more different now as compared to before.

Enjoying every single little pleasure in life now. Even staying at home doing nothing is enjoyable.

Looking back, the things that i learnt from 2011 was to make full use of time, to treasure those around us and to set my priorities right.

I hope that this year will pass by in the blink of an eye. Can't wait for the next chapter of my life to begin after the 7th of December. But for now, guess i'll look forward to the end of my course which is on the 13th of March. Will see where i get posted to and slowly take it from there!

BLEAH, BOOK IN BLUES.

Life's somewhat good for now at least until December i hope! Currently attached out to a new boss in my camp, meaning i don't have to face as much nonsense as compared to before. But still, 12.5 more months before i bid cheap labour good bye. I really can't ask for more than what i have now. Pray that i can stay longer so that i can recover from my injuries first...

Anyway, went out to bugis with my mom to just walk around and eat. I wonder when was the last time i actually went out with my mom. Maybe in the near future there wouldn't be anymore chance so better make full use of the time i have now.

Had late lunch at nan xiang at 2nd storey of bugis junction. Their zha jiang mian is.....orgasmic.

Other than the chicken, everything else was great. Better than ding tai fung in my opinion.

Walked around after that without the intention of getting any clothes. My wardrobe is pathetic, but oh well i can live without a variety of clothes. Saves $$ heh heh. Went to get a new pillow for myself. King koil, toooooing~~ and there goes 59 bucks. Wanted to invest in a good pillow a long time ago but i thought i wouldn't come home as frequently so i only got it now.

The new bedok interchange is a huge douchebag. Ok maybe it's because the bus which i take home is located right at the other end of the new interchange when it was just at the start of the old interchange. Walking from the mrt to the new one is about one or two bus stop distance long lor.

So, my younger sis finished o lv last week and she's like a freaking happy girl right now :O while my girlfriend is still in the midst of a lv. Hell week is over for her though. Can't believe how i survived the great ordeal last year. Uni friends in the midst of exam (while some finished already, hor xd?), nowonder facebook so quiet. Really can't wait for uni to start, though i wonder if i will say the same thing when i'm actually preparing for uni exams. But still at least i know i'm studying for something i will be needing for my future instead of being stepping stones and slaves for certain individuals.

Weather is kind of erratic just like a girl having pms. Maybe it will snow soon here in Singapore.

It was a long weekend (without touching any of my leaves). One more day marks the 9th month of cheap labour. The unreasonable system is really too much and all that we can do is just endure through it all. Luckily I'm currently being attached to a better boss so...it will be good for the next month. Hopefully not just one month but a few more months.

Last saturday, i headed down to tampines gym with shiyi and his friend. The last time i worked out was with nelson ages ago. Think it was during august. So, the muscle ache that came the next day was needless to say. I could hardly lift myself out of bed in the morning LOL it was quite funny i thought i was still dreaming.

Anyway straight after gym, i went to pasir ris for my j1 class bbq. It was nice to see most of my classmate. Really miss those days back then even though those were the worst 2 years studying of my life so far. Guess uni will be much worse from what i can see from my friends who are first years in uni right now :/.

from fy's fb

And as usual, there were too much food wastage. We went to catch a midnight movie after that. Was rather reluctant at first because fab suggested 2359 which is apparently a crap show but i saw 2 people rated 4 stars on this fairly new movie "那些年，我們一起追的女孩". Taiwan one somemore so ok lah can give it a go.

It was better than average! Michelle chen is really suitable for playing the role of the female lead. If only my classroom experience was similar to the male lead together with the female lead! But definitely not whatever that happened as the ending ha ha ha. Kind of reminded of whatever that happened for the past few years in school after watching that movie. I can truthfully say that other than whatever related to academics, i really miss school.

As much as i would like time to fast forward to dec 2012, i wonder if i should wish for the opposite instead. Still finding what i want in life though. Despite the amount of time spent daydreaming and lying in bed trying to fall asleep, i still couldn't find it.

Maybe it's a good night for now. Tue~fri, a short week!

It's going to be the end of october soon. Been in the dreaded service ever since february...Things haven't been changing for the better and my body is still in need of repair after damage. But free medical comes with immensely great waiting time. and long waiting time doesn't necessarily equate to the doctors possessing superb skills. I wonder how long will this waiting game end. I may have ankylosing spondylitis since almost all the symptoms are there already except that my mri came out fine, according to CGH's radiologist. Oh well, will see how things go.

Things back at home are perfectly fine. The new maid has arrived last week. She looks like the main child actor's sister in the movie pao ba hai zi that won some golden horse award or something ha ha ha. My mom can finally take a breather from juggling between house work and taking care of my elder sister's baby. Younger sis is having o level at the moment. Reminds me of 3 years back then taking that examination. It all seemed too surreal. Wonder how did i endure through those shitload of studying.

Last saturday i met up with a bunch of the ncc guys for a movie and dinner. Been quite some time since i last saw them. There were a few missing ones, like nelson who is currently at australia as a pilot trainee. It's really sad to grow up as everyone will start going their own ways. It will be much harder to meet up in the future i guess. It's all part of growing up.

Short bookout yesterday because today's a public holiday! I'm contented with whatever little time i have at home with my family members (though most of the time will be spent in bed/infront of my laptop). The system in this place which i am in now is just too sucky but whatever, it's not forever! Just got to endure for a tad bit more and i'll be out of this place in one piece, or maybe a few pieces.

Yes, i'm in my bunk right now. What a way to spend the night of a public holiday.

Disappeared for quite some time due to the fact that i'm either feeling very lethargic every time i reach home or it's just been pretty uneventful. Gotten too used to staying out for 7 weeks at cmpb so when my attachment period finally ended, i dreaded the thought of returning to my old camp.

The end of the attachment period came as a surprise for me as I was only informed a week before I was supposed to leave. Needless to say, I was very reluctant to leave that place. The people were wonderful (what an understatement), though not all but still it beats PLC any time. The duration of 7 weeks is almost as long as the first 2 months at a certain resort island not far from mainland. The bonds that were formed between me and a certain few individuals were really strong and it was really heart wrenching to leave that place.

On my last day, sandra and minghui treated me to rocky master. It tugged at my heartstrings though it was just a simple treat. Promised to keep in touch with some people over at that place. This is probably the only time I feel thankful for social networking sites other than them distracting me so much during major exams till I need to delete my accounts. Quite a brainless move as I need to re-add my contacts and so on especially when I hardly use them at all. *facepalm*

Now, it's back to the same old mundane routine again of rotting away in the office or in the bunks with certain regulars further aggravating the situation. Luckily it's the end of the course soon already but the real headache is actually weekend office/guard duties. I pray hard that we are all posted out to better places as soon as possible.
Friends divide the pain and multiply the joy. Thankful that I have buddies alongside with me. Otherwise it wouldn't have been easy to last till now. Saw my basic term's section mate other than jared who's still on recce course ha ha ha. It was nostalgic to just get together as a section again and exchange words after 3 months of not seeing each other. Serming: OOC is temporary, friendship is forever!

Had a farewell lunch for cherine 2 days before she flew off for manchester on her journey to become a lawyer. As the years go by, more of us will just drift physically further and further away from each other. It's all part of growing up I guess. Hopefully the bonds will still be as strong. At the end of the day, the ones that are really close can be counted using your fingers.

Anyway, MRI scan is being pushed forward a month to next thursday. Good thing I called up CGH due to my back not improving at all despite all the physiotherapies. Results will be out early next october and finally i'll be able to know what's wrong.

Oh, and my ingrown toenail came back again. Went to NUH to get it done but it's getting more painful just when I thought the problem is long eradicated. I don't want to go through toenail abortion again...Raked up bad memories by a certain medical officer who claimed that he's the god of ingrown toenail abortion and nearly made me cross the bridge of yellow river road.. I'll shove the preserved big toenail down into his throat the next time I see him.

Bleah wordy posts are just boring. No camera handphone, what to do?

2011-08-22T01:39:00.000+08:00

It seems that i have MIA-ed for quite some time. In fact it's actually near to a full month hehe. Wonder where did the passion to blog back then go to.

Anyway, everyday for the past one month was.....nothing really spectacular really. Just living the days as they came and went by. I'm really intending to while away my 1year10months away. Another about 430days left before i get myself a job while waiting to matriculate into nus. That would be year 2013 already. Oh well....no more a teenager then.

Recently been watching dota 2 live matches from the 16 elite teams from all over the world. It's surprising that sg made it into top 4. At least we're recognised somehow in the world :P. If only earning money could be that easy just by being a pro gamer. Oh well, we're living in a weird world.

August is coming to an end soon. There's a chance that i'm getting posted out to somewhere. Hopefully not anywhere detrimental to my back -.- seriously lost faith in the gov doctors already. There's really nothing to gain at all from slaving. If i'm having kids next time i am quite sure i'll be migrating somewhere else. Definitely not staying here if the living costs go more and more out of hand.

Looks so mischievous hahaha

Hopefully in the future my kids will be cute at birth and good looking as they grow older hurhur.

Grrrrrr the blood that is flowing through the blood vessel in my right eyelid is causing a tiny part to keep pulsating whenever i keep my eyes open now. Maybe it's a sign that i should go to bed.

2011-07-24T22:49:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was my elder sister's baby's one month celebration party @ her house. Today, it's at her house again, but tea ceremony which should have been done long ago when she was married.

LOL tea boy

The entire tea ceremony was supposed to be quite formal and all but this one was sort of informal. I guess this chinese tradition is going to be long gone in the near future. Anyway it's going to be my turn in less than 10 years time! Wonder if this blog will even survive till then.

Tomorrow is Monday again and the whole cycle repeats again. I wonder what i can do during my weekday nights instead of sticking my ass on the chair after dinner till bed time.

2011-07-10T16:41:00.000+08:00

Got to book out on last Friday earlier than the cadets since the OOCs have no more business left at coy line. I won't be going back PLC for awhile. Right now i'm a personal assistant for some LTC at CMPB. Life should be better and less harsh on my screwed up body as compared to helping the storeman and CQ back at PLC. It's going to be painful on transport costs though but i don't mind if i stay out on weekdays. Hopefully i can stay there for as long as possible till i get my specialists reviews which are not so soon. One appointment after another.....this is madness.

Dear came over yesterday and oh boy do i miss her much. It's been weeks since we last saw each other. Had dinner at thai express at siglap. The fried rice with shrimp paste was too salty to my liking but the otah was kind of orgasmic though. We then headed over to cold storage to get ingredients for her cheese cake and my younger sister who is also baking muffins at night. Original plan was to head over to the cheesecake cafe last night or haagen dazs but too bad she couldn't consume cold stuffs.

she bakes while i slack hohoho

Knocked out quite early last night. Wanted to go take a quick jog at bedok reservoir this morning but woke up at like 1pm. Now it's gonna rain and i doubt i should put on my running shoes. Shall stay in the comfort of my home instead and enjoy the accompaniment of my family members :)

2011-06-28T23:17:00.001+08:00

It's 10pm. Okay nevermind it's 10:01pm. The clock just had to tick at this perfect timing. Kind of unfitting for me to be still up at this hour since i have to wake up at about 530am in the morning tomorrow. Back in foundation term, i would have been drained to the bones and immediately depart for my dreamland of bikini babes eating bananas. I mean...okay my old gong jiao wei habit is kicking in again muhahaha.

I don't know when i started inculcating the habit of doing a mental reflection or going into deep thoughts every night without fail before falling asleep. Probably the start of serving my 22months at a certain resort island not far away from singapore. I wouldn't say that i have too much free time but there just gotta be some time where your mind will just start wandering. Also, daydreaming is a very good way to while away your time especially when time is passing ever so slowly. I'm going to go into a mode of random musing so here goes...

Ever since entering into the service, i have been experiencing constant fear every now and then. Transitioning from a young adolescent into a young adult was kind of petrifying. Time spent together with my family has obviously dwindled to a minimal, and i wonder if this will persist when i enter university if i choose to stay in hostel. In the near future it may become office hours for me depending on my body condition and then it will be as though i'm going to work daily like a normal working adult. With shitty pay of course. Guess it's called allowance for a reason...But anyway, i wonder how long days like these days can last..the days when i could still see my mom watching her movies online in my room on her laptop placed on the mini table she bought from ikea, when my dad could still send me to camp or school everytime without fail, when my dog never failed to stop farting in my room, when my meimei will just get pissed off if you interupt her when she's studying, when my jiejie just moodswings like a rollercoaster ride, and the list goes on and on.

Last tuesday when my jie was in my room, i told her that since i'm at home, she's gonna give birth the next day. Oh boy did i hit the mark.

those cheeks are sooooooooo tempting to squeeze

As usual, i slept in and woke up really late at around noon considering how early i wake up on a daily weekday basis. Looked at my phone and saw messages that my jie has delivered. In an astounding 16minutes LOL my jie sure give birth like passing motion. Okay that's not the point. Seeing pictures of the baby and visiting my jie later that day in the evening got me thinking about my future when i would have my own family. It's actually not too far into the future considering that i have lived a little more than 19 years and that time passes really quickly like how my jie gave birth. I mean...you get the drift. It's somewhat exciting and a little frightening at the same time. Sometimes, growing up isn't a really good thing afterall.

Had a little catch up with my ncc friends the other time. We would usually meet up after dinner for a movie since it's become somewhat intuitive that weekend dinners are specially and only to be dined with family members. It was midnight when the movie ended so we hitched a ride on jem's car. The ride back was really comical with guifeng taunting jem to speed up and stomp on the brakes just before the red light and other stuffs. Wonder when i'm going to get my driving license. But even with a license, COE is so freaking expensive now. Maybe i should buy a helicopter instead.

It is inevitable that some things will have to go some day. Typing this entry, altering the layout of this blog and doing other stuffs is really taxing on the eyes especially when lights already out and some of my bunk mates are snoozing soundly. I'm tired. Maybe for now i'll just go to bed, stop thinking so much and hold things dear to me as close as i can. Guess it's all part of growing up.

After leaving blogger for wordpress more than half a year ago, i am finally back! Probably because i am abit tired of having default skins and limited things i can do to the html codings. Though wordpress is more user friendly and you can actually track the number of views you get per day (together with other features that you can't find here on blogger), i guess these don't matter anymore to me now. As long as there's some form of space where i can customize and write, i'm all good.

Wanted to change my blog link but oh well just for old time's sake, i'm going to keep this name no matter how childish or whatsoever it may sound. Archives have been deleted but of course, kept somewhere else where i can go to in the future if i want to reminisce in the past.

It's been 19 years and so much have happened during the past few years especially during JC when i went through quite a tad bit of events. It was undoubtedly the toughest 2 years of my life so far. I'm content that i'm able to get into nus when i thought i was going to flunk my chem and econs and get into SIM.

Will be changing the blogskin, profile and everything soon enough. There's many things at hand which i would like to do now. Be with my parents, play with my elder sister's 1 week old daughter (i never liked kids, but i guess this one is an exception), kajiao (disturb) my younger sister, resume my team fortress 2 download, download & play dragon nest SEA (i got the cbt slot LOL doubt i'll be active though. kind of sick of that game already since i resided in dragon nest jp for a good few months during my a level year), catch up with my friends, be by my girlfriend who's having her mid years now and many many more. So many things to do but so little time. Guess that is to be expected of the ordinary singaporean male in green for 2 years (or 1 year 10months) of his life. There's a heart scan and specialist review with the cardiologist next week. Hope they will be able to diagnose the problem that is giving me those recurring chest pains. I doubt it's precordial catch syndrome though that's the closest syndrome i can relate my current situation to.

Nothing's really up on weekdays now so do only check back during the weekends!
