GAWD. SUAY DAY.
sunday. must book in by 1900. on the com till 1715. supposed to leave home by 1730. still possible.
NOT. couldn't find my socks and spent like half an hour looking for them. in the end didn't find. had to use my sis'. and now i have to cab. nvm. go atm. queue for like ten minutes then realised that the atm couldn't dispense cash. getting pissed now. went down to buy dinner on the way to another atm. meanwhile, i find out that clem didn't receive the email i sent. so after withdrawing cash i had to go back home to re-send the email. while the cab that i called for waited... and waited.

quite a bad night
i actually contemplated whether to write about what happened tonight. whether i should forget it, or vent out. my conclusion? this is my !@#$%&* blog and i'm gonna write how i feel.
to be blunt, tonight sucked balls. especially since i thought it'd be the most fun i'll have in ages.
cabbed to zouk. full. fine. cabbed to rebel. long queue. never mind. just queue. some of the guys in front got in already. no problem. but when it came to me, the doorguy took a moment, called the manager, and rejected my entry. i asked why. and he shrugged and said "management."
wah... his face was f-ing guai lan. and i was so f-ing pissed. now i think back, i'm glad i hadn't drunk. if not i'd probably have punched him. even sober i had half the mind to do it. part of the reason i kept so calm was that somehow... i think something inside just died. it's like when you tell a five-year-old that santa doesn't exist.
it struck me. colour matters.
i didn't wanna spoil the night for the rest of the guys so i went off. sat near the taxi stand awhile. pissed. dissapointed. helpless. talked to my brother over the phone a bit. made me feel better. cabbed home. told my elder sister about it and ended up talking for over an hour. about lots of stuff. made me feel a whole lot better.
i guess it's a good thing that i got home when i did. i seldom see her. i'm glad we talked.
that's all i really wanna write about. it's been a tiring week and a half. guard duty tmr. now just looking forward to seeing 23rd :)

hello
Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If I should be so bold
I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said I would
I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again
- jason mraz
random.
common phase ends. speciallised phase begins. with a really HAPPY (few) hour(s) :D i draw blanks when it comes to what happened in the middle of the night. liason. man the pressure's getting to me. it's one thing to have expectations. but it's another to make them known to whom you're demanding them from. i'll just do my own thing.
finally got new slippers. no more rubber bands and noisy dragging.
comms ball recce. love the flyer. entry's not idyllic. but everything else is cool!
steamboat at allie's. cake and ice cream. and uno. happy 19th allie :)
ended up not going timbre. didn't see a point since i really only wanted to catch up with the infantry guys. next time then.
tmr tuition, volleyball, book in. chow.

turning 19
hey people. i'm 19 today. not a big deal. but my friends in camp made it out to be. it was THE sweetest thing.
we had to stay in camp last night. but before lights off, joshua passed me a birthday card that some poeple wrote in. and mark bought me a beany toy cat. totally unexpected. cool huh?
and today, i got up at 5.37am to find like eight people standing around my bed. one of them holding a candlelit cake-thing. and they started singing. "f**k." haha. it was awesome.
it takes effort to make simple, meaningful stuff like this happen. and i'm so grateful. because of you guys i feel appreciated. part of the group. and more at home. thanks guys :)
met up with sec2clique last saturday. b made me a cake :) needed a little skill to cut. but it was delicious. thanks b :)

happy to be back
this is a true story. that i may have exaggerated. but a true story nonetheless.
i did not get struck by lightning. it was merely some kind of electrical impulse that shot up from the ground when the lightning hit somewhere nearby. somewhere very nearby. i'll remember it for a long time.
the 10 of us were at THE top of the mountain. it was raining. we took shelter under our groundsheets and waited for the weather to improve. py and i had fallen asleep. next thing we knew... a loud bang and a flash. followed by the feeling that we were free falling. paralyzed completely. surreal. is that the word? well... it was like nothing i could even imagine experiencing. we were free falling. but we were lying on the ground. sounds impossible. exactly why i wasn't sure if i was still alive. thought of my parents. in a way i had never before. like i would never see them again. swore i would give them a big hug when i got home.
started to gain control of my upper body after the longest seconds of my life. came out form under the groundsheet and saw two of my friends shouting. in pain or shock i didn't know. py beside me was shouting too. but he seemed less distraught than the other two. i gave a shout too. not sure why. it wasn't even a reflex. i actually thought about whether i should shout. evidently i wasn't thinking straight. i started to crawl downwards. toward lower ground. still no feeling in my legs. i looked back at py. he wasn't following. and my two friends we still shouting. it was a whole lot of confusion. i think i finally understand how one can be scared shitless. coz it almost happened (appreciate the honesty). so much for keeping cool.
sir was stressed. it was difficult to keep calm. but he did. and he did exactly what he was supposed to. i'm inspired. truly. he carried zy to lower ground and tried to drag an too. we were supposedly safer now. but i didn't feel it. not until the medic came and made me feel all silly for being such a pussy.
lightning struck. nobody died. so get up and get moving before somebody does. should have been clear from the start. i'm not ready to fill sir's shoes obviously. but i hope i'm closer now.
i have a burn on my back. to tell me that i wasn't dreaming. that it happened. and i should learn something from it.
i hope i have.

pre brunei syndrome
been idle... so i've been thinking a lot... and emo-ing a lot. maybe it's all these movies. have a thing for movies that aren't too obviously unrealistic. but that was just sadly real. almost deja vu. that pain in the chest that leaves you breathless. talking about (500) days of summer by the way. it's just so... sad. should watch more happy ending shows. sigh. now i'll just emo in brunei. wah... sian... brunei...
but it IS my first time on a plane. hopefully time there passes quickly. like coz it's fun. not coz i'm in a hurry to come back. no reason to be so eager to come back anyway. come back and do what? watch movie? party? dine out? that's all i ever do now. feel a little detached. spend more time online than i'd like to. think i've changed a lot from the person i was in council. was more concerned about others. now just concerned about myself. don't know what happened.
my poor attitude shows in camp too i think. i put in some effort to change it. not much. still trying to adapt to the huge change. should have known when i had it good.
hmmm... maybe i have it good now. no more emo-ing. i'm going to spend my last few hours with actual people.
till next post.

block leave is ending
so what have i done? exactly what i wanted to. spend time with as many different people as possible.
friday - 1st platoon bbq
now we know who the bastards are. camping in the dark... waiting for unsuspecting victims to push into the water. bastards. just joking :) was all in good fun.
saturday - bowling with family
super impromptu. 1 am. everyone still awake. sister suggested bowling. and we went. didn't even wanna go. tired. but glad i went. was fun:) got a few strikes^.^ don't hate bowling anymore.
sunday - sentosa with wg and beach friends
nice being back at the beach :) nice meeting dar and fran. insight to my future. well... in brunei at least.
monday - sentosa with 1st platoon
captain's ball in the water was fun! was the first time in ages i got wet at the beach. usually only play volleyball. and... actually played beach soccer! me. soccer. not a very good match. but quite fun :) had astons after. ran into platoon 2 people there. played lan at parklane after. i really suck at computer games. REALLY SUCK. no exaggeration here. i die almost instantly every round in cs :)
tuesday - ACJC
managed to help one or two juniors with chem :) and it was nice being back in school.
wednesday - phuture
went butter fact and saw OH my gosh! and platoon 2 people. again. full house so didn't bother queueing. cabbed to phuture. mistake? kinda. damn f-ing crowded. had to struggle to get to the dance floor. don't think clem had a very good time. but music was good. i had a good time. hung around with al and yj till next morn. just talked. almost forgot how it feels to talk about something worth talking about.
>> i was reminded what it's like to be a friend <<
thursday - dinner with sec2clique
had ljs to accomodate a budget. haha. but it's the company that matters. good talking to them. there's always a surprise :) shared something that's on my mind. but there's really nothing i can do about it now. guess i'll just keep thinking about it everytime my mind's idle. hope that's not often.
friday - dinner with 23rd
swensens :) hearing des talk about brunei is making me somewhat glad that i got what i got. i can't be living in the past. i must move on. i must look on the bright side of my circumstance. and that's exactly what i'm doing :) doesn't mean i won't still miss you guys :)
saturday - canoeing gathering
had too much... belly coming right up. haha. seriously. i'm scared. anyway... there was slight akwardness... hopefully it'll wear off.
today - tuition
haha. woke up late. knocked out cold. change to afternoon.
tmr - hello khatib! hello vin! hello new beginning :)

first weekend of block leave
can you feel busy and have so much time at the same time? well... i do. guess it's because i didn't plan my block leave like i usually plan everything. slacking too much. fourth day of block leave and i still haven't finished writing the cards. it's difficult. some people i just have nothing much to say to.
bbq. bowling, sentosa, and today sentosa again. i shall set aside one day just to write the cards. need to pass them to wg by saturday's gathering.
need to start working out. yesterday after i got back from vivo, i went out to run right away. did some pullups, pushups, leg raises and stuff. feels good to ache again :)
i'm late for sentosa. not going to make passport already la. hopefully i realy just need my 11b.

hari raya aidilfitri
yeah man! time to celebrate!
today was okay. didn't feel so festive. still tired. from what i don't know. slept like 9 hours the day before. this whole weekend is about eating. haha. eating and eating and eating. rendang, sambal prawn, and other oily fattening stuff that people with low metabolism just hate me for being able to eat so much of. muahahahahahaha! i'm evil.
got a nosebleed at the end of the day. too much junk and too little water. don't know why i'm so prone to this. falling sick i think. having a headache as i'm writing this. feels like a slight hangover. but i don't think it is.
lately it feels like i have too many things to do and too little time to do them. feeling overwhelmed. slightly.
i'm looking for love this time...
sounding hopeful but its making me cry...
this love is a mystery...
mr curious...
yes that was random. a verse from mr curiosity, jason mraz.
anyway... as i was saying... overwhelmed... i really hope life isn't like this the whole way through.
lately we're running out of time aren't we...
crazy for running all the time mmmmmmmaybe...
clockwatching, jason mraz
bothering me... think i think too much. its difficult to have ideals. difficult to act according to them sometimes too. and most difficult when you watch them change more and more from a possible reality into mere fantasy. thinking too much again. i'm emo-ing. it's okay if you can't relate at all to what i'm saying. maybe even i won't know what i'm saying when i read this again next time.
well. enough. i'm tired. till my next post.

not much sleep this weekend. time's too precious.
have i mentioned how i'm so not supposed to be in the "top 10 percent of our cohort?" really. i'm damn bad at handling stress. and i'm so not doing the "i tell people i suck so they'll tell me i don't" thing that people do to make themselves feel better. on so many occasions have i found myself utterly lost. the army's just not my thing man. hate regimentation. hate being so aware of rank. hate having to be so sharp all the time.
anyway... the run wasn't so bad. hopefully they don't screw us when we book in... for misbehaving in public or some crap like that.
pool was fun. andre's good. much much needed chill out time.
went to visit grandma at the family hospital with fiz. she tears when she talks about what happened. its human to be angry when misfortune befalls you. but when her head's clear, she tells herself to forgive. that its God's will. its sad that it took something like this to happen for me to visit. haven't seen her in months. well, at least the family's being brought together now.
had dinner at grandma's place. all the malaysian cousins were there too. like some prelude to hari raya :)
went to visit my new niece elysha. but by this time i was really tired. i just watched her for a bit. then i stuck to the sofa like a corpse.
at home, i talked to kak and yy about a savings plan. decided on one. feel so much better now. can't wait to sign and start :)

confined! :D
hahahahaha. confined the saturday after five days of sh*t. hahahahaha. i'm not going crazy. nope. i'm just amazed at how our morale is so high despite voldemort's attempts to destroy us. hahaha. we shall not fall to the dark side. neither will dumbledore i hope.
it's been a long weekend of doing absolutely nothing but spending time with family. nice for a change. staying out till late is tiring anyway. know what? my two brothers and i have now been squeezed into the smallest room in the house. its damn lame this disparity in space to people ratio. but im happy :) i'm not home much. PLUS! it's much much much easier to clean ^.^
went to get jason mraz's older albums :):):) finally. been wanting to get them forever. and collected my no.1 from dry-cleaning. still got stain. waste money -_-
gonna book in early later coz i'm scared i forget something last minute. at least if i go early i can ask someone to get stuff for me. hehehe.

shortest book out ever
two hours of sleep. 12 hours out of camp. and i'll be making my way back.
even though 12 hours doesn't seem like much, i've learnt to take what i can get. i don't really like to push for something when i can easily do without it. it usually works to my advantage coz it keeps me satisfied. but sometimes i think its a shortcoming. like i don't seek to better my situation. i don't know exactly which it is.
i also realise my response is usually "it's okay" meaning either "not bad" or "never mind" both seemingly passive responses, but i like to think of them as optimistic ones.
anyway, social night date: check :) look forward to seeing you fellow qm ^^
i've got a new responsibility now. a chance for me to learn how to conduct physical activities. it's quite cool. but also a little stressful coz i'm being assessed. did fairly well for my first try, not to boast of course. more to learn in the days to come.
at the back of my mind... i must stop disregarding my family and friends, my moral yardsticks, when i make decisions. i must stop thinking for myself. and i must start thinking ahead. will my decisions now affect my future? yeah i know... too many questions. i need an answer. more importantly, i need the strength to do what's right.

chaos
i can't handle freedom.
someone help me re-establish order.
my morals are eroding.
seriously.
must change while i can still see the need for it.

the longest weekend yet
third bookout. first time on a friday. wonderfully long weekend. but i shall not tire myself out too much. field camp next week so we need to rest up.
its been a quick week. i.e. to say its been busy. see that? that's army for you. who says "i.e. to say?". goodness. just elaborate can or not? can or not? can or not? can or not? that's more army for you. there's no saying things once. appreciate these insights. it's what makes SAF uniquely singapore. haha.
anyway. i've gained much knowledge, skills and experiences from the past five weeks. learnt about stuff a soldier and a leader ought to know. like weapons, life-saving, public speaking, planning missions and things like that. looking back, it could very well be worth the sacrifices.
to all friends. i'm sorry if i don't reply your msgs and i keep turning you down. perpetual lack of time. let's just say we make full use of our day. heck, sometimes i'm still sweating when i go to bed. full use. really. and sometimes i need to use time outside camp to settle things in camp. yeah i know. it sucks. but i guess OCS, like canoeing (haha!), is a lifestyle, and to live it, some compromises must be made.
anyway, i'm doing well as usual. happy with most of the current situation, though it would have been better if fewer people fell ill. but i think everyone is upping their game a bit. hope it lasts.
that's all folks. tata.
ps. do continue to msg :)

oh gosh...
its been a month!!! goodness. hello people. i'm still alive. been super busy lately. unbelievably loads to stuff to do. plus i need to party once in a while too. so yeah... no time to update since i'm not allowed to do it in camp and my weekends are f-ing short.
i'm doing good. just tired most of the time. lots of things to learn. sit for tests like nobody's business. worse than jc. my form teacher in upper sec told me the most stressful years are in jc. well... that's coz she didn't serve NS. seriously.
too tired still. longer update some other time. night :)

first week of block leave :)
heyllo!
tuesday - POP wasn't all it was made out to be. went for geok's earlier this year and wondered why he didn't seem happy about it. maybe its the 24km march. for me... think its coz i didn't exactly hate BMT. it was kinda fun. like a compulsory chalet. but with strangers and an itinerary you had no say in planning. and of course way more exercise than anyone would like. you know the signs overhead at the ferry terminals when you're booking in? they're right. the experiences i've gained are priceless. sadly, i'm doubtful the friendships forged are the kind that'll last. >>> though we have to move on from one phase to the next, its nice to dwell in the past while you're in between. <<<
wednesday - platoon gathering at seoul garden. turn up wasn't great, as expected, but it was good enough. think everyone had a good time. nice to interact with the sergeants out of uniform/tekong too. went to cine after the meal where we split up. the group was just too big to stick together man... pool was fun :) too bad it was prematurely interrupted. six of us went to starbucks afterward and just talked. sidetrack... i get the impression that some people think i'm treated and rewarded better than i deserve. and i don't know. am i? sigh... nothing i can do about it anyway. moving on... really wanna see everyone again before we embark on the next chapter.
thursday - went to chua's place to tutor her sister. ended up staying the whole day. had lunch at plaza macs with chua and her two sisters (where chua spilled milo and coke on my bems -_-) went back to their place and watched a dvd. and went to cathay's aston for one-third-class dinner. yup. 8 out of 24. anyway... aston is CHEAP! should eat there more often. camwhored like nobody's business the entire night :) orchard central's a good chill out place. but i think its gonna be way more crowded when it actually opens. oh... bumped into some familiar faces outside OC too. headed to heeren where we sat down and did nothing. haha. the whole time we were just walking from one place to the next looking for places to sit on our lazy asses. haha :)
friday - canoe BBQ! as usual... we didn't finish the food. not because nobody was hungry but because nobody really wanted to cook. haha. i excused myself since i was wearing white. smart. i know :) nice meeting up with everyone again. got my blue sweater back :) and got to see fellow qm again :):) talking to the guys about ns was nice. and it sure is great to know i have strings to pull if i do end up in... ahem ahem... well i shan't be setting my expectations too high. people should also stop giving me false reassurance! thanks.
saturday - sentosa. p made me wait for 45 mins!!! he's so lucky i'm nice :) playing vball with him wt and dar was fun. pudgy. haha. random thought... think i'm too trusting sometimes. just hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass. anyway... was supposed to club. but i'm surrounded by pang seh kias! sian. ended up watching drag me to hell with ky and vin at vivo at midnight. scary. the sound effects are really something. but it was funny too. really. the computer graphics were hilarious >< sat at macs a while and cabbed back. yawn...
sunday - sentosa. again. sam and the ngee ann girls. fun :)

it almost time
been feeling good :) many things... just thinking about them can make my day. but no need to elaborate here. maybe how good you feel depends on what things you choose to focus on. think mr white said something like that before. about having a positive mindset.
had fun at recruits' evening. first time i could let loose in a long while. drenched by the end of it. and now... "nobody" by the wonder girls is stuck in my head. haha. CATCHY!
i have realised however that marching is not as fun as i thought. some people just don't have the bigger picture in mind. sigh. well its gonna be over soon :) i'll hang in there and try not to fall out :P
went for the psychometric test today. didn't finish it. haha. should i be worried? well... i'm not. haha. anyway, i didn't do anything else today. supposed to go to east coast for mcs gathering but my little bro really pissed me off. total killjoy. would usually be stressed that i wasted an entire day. but its good to just do nothing sometimes. the whole day i didn't bother to check what time it was :)
decided i will go to the wedding tmr after tuition. might still go to sentosa afterwards. after all... book-in IS at 2100!!! yup. >>don't hate me coz god loves me.<< haha.
ulysses! company! POP!
adios amigos! :)

second last book out :)
had breakfast with mum at swenson's in the morning. first time. it was nice. but still a waste of money. well... what to do? i guess i just have to bear with her decisions. (note the sarcasm. haha)
guess what? spent the entire of saturday with platoon mates. quite crazy. already see each other so much, still not sian. haha. lunch at pizza hut and dinner at pepper lunch. crap. no wonder i'm always broke. bball was fun. very long never play. soccer was fun too ;) went to lepak at soon's place till 6plus and went walking around town. very tired...
sidetrack. i came into ns with optimism that i will find friends who are good people. and i think i have :):):) and i also had no ambitions of being best in whatever. so people should really stop saying such things so i don't have unnecessary expectations. thanks.
anyway, i realise that everybody bitches. myself included. it's scary. you don't know who your friends are. talking about people in their absence is one thing, but putting them down is another. i think there are a few i can trust. but how well can you know someone in seven weeks? sigh.
alright. that's all. tata.

a little over a week left!!!
heya people!!! didn't have time to blog last week. got loads this week though :)
last week was quite eventful :):):) met up with sec2clique at jurong point to get butty her birthday gift. a bracelet with 5 girly things. moley was deceived by the salesgirl somehow about what she was paying for. had lunch at waraku at central and then progressed to long john's. haha. just sat and walked around and talked. realised many things are going on that i wasn't aware of. well, now i am at least. but there's nothing much i can do with myself, and everyone else, being so busy with their own things.
had my first lesson with chua's sister after. went better than i thought. she's quite talkative. just like her sister. haha. broke the ice quite fast. helped that she knew what she wanted out of the lesson too :)
met ky at cineleisure for dinner after. (oh did i mention that chua lives in somerset??? yes she does!!! how convenient for me to go out after tuition!!! muhahahahahaha!!!) went to burger king. just met up to catch up. good to do that regularly. if not friendships will just fade away.
anyway... went to AC after to watch the malay cultural society's annual drama production. this year's was entitled "9 hours." thought it was good! definitely worth the money :) MCS gatherings are opportunities to camwhore. seriously. and out of nowhere... an FHM wannabe appeared. yeah you know who you are. haha. got a free cab ride home. thanks cikgu :)
got home, changed into something more comfortable and cabbed down to jurong sec. really planned to take the bus. but the cab stopped right at the traffic light. well... not really. it was in the middle of the road. but it was too close to let pass. i just had to get in. haha. student leaders' camp was fun. like spending time with 23rd :):):) can't elaborate much on the activities. its a secret :P haha.
got home at around 730am, overslept, went for tuition, then off to sentosa, and finally, back to tekong.
i'll blog about this weekend tmr or something.
tata :) oh. one more thing. POP COMING!!!

after many many days outfield
didn't have the time nor the energy to blog last weekend. just know that i have conquered the wild!!! haha. i'm exaggerating. but the past two weeks has been a memorable experience. doing things i thought previously were too uncivilised. but when you're desperate, anything goes. its really a pity that i can't say much here.
well, i still haven't seen any pictures of myself botak. think people either never upload or too lazy to tag. soon some more people will see my six-week-long hairstyle.
tired and hungry. tata.

4th week over!
say hello to your new marksman :) haha. this week quite slack. can't remember the last time i was made to do any exercise. like seriously. i think my pull up max dropped. haha. good life. anyway, i wonder ... how come some people can't walk in step and yet can get perfect shot? doesn't the latter require more concentration? sigh...
went to marshe with SB1 for dinner yesterday. bought some clothes at topman and spent most of the time looking for mother's day gifts. they looked. i tagged along. (my family, we don't normally buy gifts. just have dinner together.) sat at the bleachers and talked cock a while.
came home to leftover steam boat. quite nice. but i got full really fast.
pictures of me and my new hairstyle coming soon to you on facebook :P
can't play volleyball after tuition later coz i'm booking in at 3 plus :(:(:( life's like that. can't always get what you want. but i look forward to field camp tmr :)
alright, nothing much left. tata.

2nd book out... 6 more weeks!
watched the international last week and traitor today with mr white. had dinner and watched horsemen after with ky. all quite good movies. but that's really all there is to my weekends. besides the usual trips to the beach :)
about NS... i am being exposed to all sorts of people. and the people that grab my attention most are the blur ones, the slow ones, and the uncooperative ones. they simply get on my nerves. GOD! if i become a commander i'm gonna tekan these people like mad i tell you. grrr.

first bookout!
and... i'm back. not as happy as i thought i'd be. but hopefully things are gonna get better. we're not supposed to blog about NS. SAF image concerns. so expect no details for my posts for the next 7 weeks. sorry.
let's just say that the past two weeks were like canoeing training, but the whole day. and my new "coach" is worse. on the bright side, i've made a number of new friends who have to go through the same shit. council and canoeing have definitely helped me prepare mentally and physically, but it can still be difficult to cope.
anyway... NUS!!! where's my reply!?
ps. i'm usually free saturday nights. feel free to help me fill it up. i'm too tired to plan it myself. thanks.

INTO VIVO! haha. played till 10 plus PM! goodness. and i don't think we would have stopped so soon if we didn't spot a security guard making a call. probably for backup. haha. damn tiring. but fun :)
friday. ARGH!!! spent 100 @#$%ing bucks on army stuff! its crazy!!! nobody spends THAT much! JUST ME AND V -_- grrr... went to west coast cc to join ACVB again after. quite fun :) played libero for the opposing team. they're damn pro! haha. good experience :)
saturday. gym and swim with wx again. now... i can swim breaststroke!!! also for 7 metres.... haha!
and today... well... basically... a failed class gathering, which i totally blame on my backdated phone. it was a rainy day but still managed to play some ball. after sentosa, we went to tiong bahru cc to play indoor volleyball. yeah... crazy. but i like :) anyway... i was one freaking blur cock! really. the people there aren't exactly very nice either. which added to the regret i was feeling about going there. but i think i learnt stuff. about positioning and roles. i realise i had it way easier as libero. i'll keep the learning experiences and forget the bad ones :)
okay i'm tired. tmr is the start of a new week :) tata.
anyway... i'm getting used to my NS phone. know what i realised? i can only send one msg at a time!!! goodness!!! there goes mass msging SB1. HAHA!
okay... monday was my younger bro's birthday. had KFC and cake. yummy :)
ACVB on tuesday. HURT MY THUMB IN THE DUMBEST WAY!!! its so dumb, i'm embarrassed to elaborate. haha. as usual, i had fun :)
wednesday. went gym and swim with wx. have i ever said that he's a nice guy? well... he is. haha. just thought i should pay him a compliment for being so nice. haha. anyway. i can swim freestyle!!! for 7 metres... haha :):):)

life's changing...
its amazing how time can fly by so quickly when you're having fun, and how it seems to crawl when you're not. well. i guess its a good thing that last week flew by :)
i can't blog properly anymore. changed to my lousy NS phone. used to keep track of my week on my phone, but now even texting is a chore. never used nokia before see. stuck with midi tones for two years. its annoyingly funny. haha. like i've gone back in time.
let's see. what do i remember? i watched confessions of a shopaholic and coming soon on tuesday. isla fisher is so pretty! and she acts damn well. funny and worth it :):):) coming soon was super NOT scary -_- could be because my friend told me the whole story. haha. but really. even the "shocking" parts weren't all that shocking.
played LAN with v, ws, yk, zl and ch on thursday. happy birthday ws! played DOTA. im so noob. but it was fun :) and cheap. haha.
friday was my last day at work. ms l gave me chocolates and a note. yet another teacher who thinks i should be a teacher :):):) and cy gave me a pencil holder and a bear :) thanks! didn't prepare anything for farewell. didn't think i should make it a big deal. let me emo a bit here... i've changed. from someone who always tried to forge lasting friendships to someone who just wants to know more people. a quantity/quality issue? maybe coz its hard to figure out who's gonna stand by you and who's gonna disappear. or maybe im just too tired to care anymore. scary thought. well, as usual, i'll go with the flow and see where i end up. at least i already have friends i can depend on, and who can depend on me :)
anyway, had the beach volleyball competition on saturday. life's a BEACH. deal with it. cool huh? first time i've been to tanjong beach. and i go to sentosa A LOT. haha. we did okay. quite disappointed we didn't make it past preliminaries. coz i think we so could if we played properly. but hey! free entry to zouk for a $10 registration! not a bad deal at all! haha.
went to sentosa again yesterday. damn hot! the weather i mean. haha. got tired very fast. it was an okay day. had more fun towards the end when it was cooler :)
been somewhat troubled lately. nothing serious. just been feeling detached. i think i need to spend less time on the computer.
alright. tata :)

END OF MARCH HOLS :(:(:(
HI PEOPLE!!! the march holidays passed by so quickly!!!
monday. had training with the vball guys in the morning. was raining :( so had to do physical first. quite fun helping to coach the juniors :) makes me feel like some receiving pro. haha. and even more fun to do the drills with the seniors :):) that zj ah... terrible... dont know how to dig to the same spot one. keep making me move. and that A ah... wah... do drills with him like doing shuttle run. haha.
wah... i was slightly annoyed that the teacher i was supposed to meet in school on monday afternoon didn't show up -_- but being the nice and patient person that i am, i did my own work so i wouldn't have wasted my trip there. spent an hour making math worksheets for the sec one's extra classes when school reopens. hopefully they're good enough...
tuesday. went to play LAN with wg, ch and ky. left4dead is damn fun!!! haha. can get so high from playing computer games. and its so CHEAP at the place we played!!! wah... must go more often :):):) supposed to go get my hat at bugis but didn't :( whatever. no rush :)
WEDNESDAY!!! ACVB again :) more match play today. quite fun. i caught one ball that jiao lian dropped. then he was like... "eh. its you ah? aiya. i don't need to train you." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! EGO BOOST! he probably meant that he was supposed to focus on the team... but still. haha :):):) anyway, coz our team had j1s, i had to do more work than usual. scraped my knee diving for a ball which was sooooooo NOT MINE! :( managed to get it by the way :) haha. the scrape was no biggie... but it looked gross when i played at sentosa after. haha.
sentosa was fun :) played with p, wal and dar. had to go by 6pm coz i had tuition after. what a CRAZY day right!!!!?
but it hasn't ended! haha. i woke up at 6am to go for vball training. and tuition ended at 10pm. and after... two words: st james :):):) went home and died. haha. eh wait. i died the moment i got into the cab. haha. ah... slept so soundly when i got home :)
thursday. head still slightly heavy from yesterday. lazed around the whole day. met up with zh to help him with math. its amazing i can still rmb most of complex numbers, differential equations and vectors man. haha. feels good to be able to help :)
friday. went to collect my army specs. don't think i look too bad in them :) haha. then went to NUS to get my pin number. damn sian... why all the unis never mail me!!? ma fan. went for SB1 class bbq after :) i've said it before and i'll say it again. its always nice to see the class :) anyway. ms c was predicting what she sees some ppl doing in future and... SHE THINKS I'LL BE A TEACHER!!! WONDERFUL!!! haha. thanks ms c. feels nice :) especially after tomato was so persuasive with her "you might not wanna do things that you can do after you retire while you're still young" speech. which was valid... but so not encouraging. haha. had fun :):):)
saturday. went back to school to babysit. not worth talking about. went to sentosa again. so boring. dont know why. just a lazy day.
sunday. interval training with wx and sh :):):) finally! i ran! went to sentosa again again after :) today was quite fun :) feel like libero again :) but my spiking still sucks :( anyway, p and s are BASTARDS! haha. keep bitching about a certain someone. damn high until we didn't play properly. haha. nothing much ba. just that it was fun :)
and so im here... tired... going off... tata :)
ps. blame the singlish on the people i mix with. haha.

spending money like water...
as usual. monday is ACVB :):):)
had a lot on my mind on tuesday. my boss wouldn't give me leave for the next day. so many vulgarities were going through my head. and i wanted to give her a big fat punch to the face... but i still put on a smile. so i was contemplating about taking MC to go for mr kiasu's passing out parade. i didn't wanna let him down in the last minute. friends more important than rigid b*tches. grr. anyway, i went back for canoeing junior land training. quite tiring -_-
wednesday i got up and msged that i wasn't feeling well. which was true to a certain extent coz i was exhausted from vball training, and canoeing training (i actually did the exercises with them k... except the circuits :P) and gym. haha. went to the POP with yq. it was a nice slow day :) and it was nice to see mr kiasu again :) went for sushi buffet. thought it was quite worth it :) anyway... CONGRATS PRIVATE!!! after tuition, at like 1130PM, i went to the doctor's for an MC, which she DIDN'T give coz i wasn't sick!!! haha. damn funny. spent 36 bucks and still had no MC. but she was damn nice :) and she gave me pills for muscle ache :):):) they work damn fast!!!
the next day they asked for my MC and i just disregarded them. whatever. one more week of work only anyway. sorry. i don't give a sh*t.
saturday. open house! all i can say... NUS kicks NTU's balls! haha. went shopping a bit and got some stuff :):):) cheap cheap :)
sunday :) SENTOSA! think we played quite well today. smoother than last week. and i managed a few nice spikes! :):):) those tuck jumps must be helping. haha. s, d and i went for dinner (actually more like appetizer) at vivo. talked about stuff... and people. haha. yes. we're such gossips. went canoe bbq after. no booze :( but nvm. the company's what matters. nice gathering :) but end up organizer sure lose money. haha. what to do? life's like that. haha.
what a fast week...
ok. that's all. tata.

yet another fun week. i love life :)
im two days late. stupid virus.
monday. went back to ac for vball AGAIN! im addicted to it i tell you :):):) but what a healthy addiction it is. haha. ironic.
anyway. went to wx's gym on tuesday. got this crazy guy talking to himself while running on the treadmill. i've always been freaked out by crazy people. they can be so unpredictable.
my wednesday wasn't so good. it started out okay. but i had to relief the worst secondary one express class. i talk. they talk. i keep quiet. they keep quiet. @#$% la!!! scared them shitless and they were quiet for the rest of the lesson. phew...
and then... THURSDAY!!! the HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK!!! JASON MRAZ CONCERT!!! HE'S DAMN GOOD!!! SO WORTH THE HUNDRED BUCKS :):):):):):):) by the way... i managed to squeeze in one session at sentosa with yk and sam after work before the concert. haha.
i was damn nervous about friday. but i kept telling myself that everything would be alright. and that i won't worry my life away. after all... that's what JASON MRAZ was making us chant during the concert! it was a sign i tell you! haha. but my better than expected performance was still quite a shocker. the wonders of having low expectations :):):) went to watch PUSH with ky yk and v at plaza sing after. cool movie :) shifters, pushers, watchers, bleeders, sniffers... and some more i cant recall at the moment. damn cool :) OOH OOH OOH! i got good progress award! 200 BUCKS! yeah man :)
saturday. went to SMU open house to see some friends. what a waste of time the place was. haha. but only coz i wasn't interested in anything they offered there except for social sciences. which they obviously only offer as a minor or second major. went to sentosa (again) and met lousy there! so cool :) made friends with her friends :) more vaball mates :) i tell you... soon im going to know everyone on the beach! haha.
and then there's sunday... ahh... 10am to 6pm at sentosa (again again). 8 HOURS! haha :) im so dark now :):):) but apparently its not helping with the confusion with my race. goodness. met the hwa chong group again. what a coincidence. played with them for like two hours before joining the sgc group. so fun :) but so HOT!!! wah... the heat was so draining. made the 100plus seem like heaven :):):)
that's one... two... THREE TRIPS TO SENTOSA IN A WEEK! haha :)
kk. that's all folks. tata.

i've got joy overflowing :)
i've got joy overflowing :) so before you read this post, know that i'm happy and be happy with me :)
alright. let's start with the best day of the week - TODAY!!! went with wg to sentosa. played from 11am to 3pm. 4 HOURS UNDER THE BAKING SUN! lovely... my back's all burnt and i'm so happy. haha. i was optimistic that it was gonna be fun even though it was just the two of us. and i think it was :) we played for about an hour without a net and then i went over to ask a group if we could join them coz it was getting boring without a net. they let us join in. they were a group of about eight guys one year older than us. all from hwa chong. sec 3/4 class gathering. cool right!? in ns alr then still got class gathering on weekends at sentosa! wow...
anyway, the guy i asked, p, spoke to me in mandarin and, as usual, i casually (hehe) replied since he wasn't speaking in proverbs or anything. haha. just simple mandarin. but wg had to spoil the fun and told the guy i was malay. HAHA. p was like wtf! haha. since p already knew, i just included my race when i intro-ed myself to the rest of the guys. haha. "hi. i'm ... i'm malay." and this is followed by a shocked look on most of their faces. haha. i'm so used to it.
at first p was like "we just play one game k? in case you're too good (refering to wg and i)." WOOHOO!!! what a morale boost! haha. coz they saw us playing and thought that the standard disparity was too great. haha. but it wasn't la. they're good too. and they're a goofy bunch these hwa chong guys. haha. p, wg, and i teamed up for the first game and p was like "AC! AC! *clap* *clap*" haha. and he called his friends "cheenas." haha. making fun of stereotypes :) p asked wg for his number so that he could let us know if they were playing again. YAY!!! more volleyball mates :):):)
met up with ky for LAN training (haha) at btp. left4dead is fun :) this zombie pinned me down and i couldn't get it off so being the noob that i am, i asked in an ever so calm tone "eh. what's happening?" while my life bar was shortening by the second! haha. luckily wg looked over to my screen and saw the HUNTER (ohhhh so that's a hunter) attacking me and saved my ass. haha. met fellow qm at btm for dinner after ky went off. i had dessert. budget la. haha. there was a pretty girl at the adjacent table. haha. took 157 home. fell asleep. too tired alr. wg also fell asleep on his bus ride home. haha. what a fun day :):):)
ok ok. enough about today. i went to sentosa ytd too!!! haha! with tl, yl and des. it was then that i realised that i suddenly knew how to spike with that forward spin thing that i've never been able to do! another morale boost :) quite fun except the fact that we weren't prepared for the oven temperatures. plus it rained at one plus. so we only got to play for about two hours. went for lunch at banquet vivo after, walked around vivo and went off. okay day. the rain made the day gloomy. but at least we got our fun in the sun :):):)
and what happened during the work week? lots! i managed to finish the damn topic and my sec one normal academic class is finally catching up with the express class! phew... just in time for common test week. i also realised that my normal academic class is not as immature as i thought. they need a little push and all their work will be done :) i was going to scold some of them for handing in SUPER late work. but once i told them that they owe work, they handed in. no idea why must wait for me to make personal requests for their work though. well... at least they handed in :):):)
and... i've been helping with classroom management for some less well-behaved classes, and i managed to make a few friends. k they're not exactly friends since i'm a "teacher", but they can be once this thing is over. anyway, i made a bet with this boy so that he would study for his test. starbucks. can't believe i'm saying this, but i hope he fails. haha. i'm broke la. haha kk i'm not so bad. i'd be happy if he passes even though that means i have to spend. coz that means that i helped him achieve something :):):)
can you feel how happy i am??? haha. well, if not, too bad... your loss. haha. no la. do tag :) that's my week. tata :)
alright. let's start with the best day of the week - TODAY!!! went with wg to sentosa. played from 11am to 3pm. 4 HOURS UNDER THE BAKING SUN! lovely... my back's all burnt and i'm so happy. haha. i was optimistic that it was gonna be fun even though it was just the two of us. and i think it was :) we played for about an hour without a net and then i went over to ask a group if we could join them coz it was getting boring without a net. they let us join in. they were a group of about eight guys one year older than us. all from hwa chong. sec 3/4 class gathering. cool right!? in ns alr then still got class gathering on weekends at sentosa! wow...
anyway, the guy i asked, p, spoke to me in mandarin and, as usual, i casually (hehe) replied since he wasn't speaking in proverbs or anything. haha. just simple mandarin. but wg had to spoil the fun and told the guy i was malay. HAHA. p was like wtf! haha. since p already knew, i just included my race when i intro-ed myself to the rest of the guys. haha. "hi. i'm ... i'm malay." and this is followed by a shocked look on most of their faces. haha. i'm so used to it.
at first p was like "we just play one game k? in case you're too good (refering to wg and i)." WOOHOO!!! what a morale boost! haha. coz they saw us playing and thought that the standard disparity was too great. haha. but it wasn't la. they're good too. and they're a goofy bunch these hwa chong guys. haha. p, wg, and i teamed up for the first game and p was like "AC! AC! *clap* *clap*" haha. and he called his friends "cheenas." haha. making fun of stereotypes :) p asked wg for his number so that he could let us know if they were playing again. YAY!!! more volleyball mates :):):)
met up with ky for LAN training (haha) at btp. left4dead is fun :) this zombie pinned me down and i couldn't get it off so being the noob that i am, i asked in an ever so calm tone "eh. what's happening?" while my life bar was shortening by the second! haha. luckily wg looked over to my screen and saw the HUNTER (ohhhh so that's a hunter) attacking me and saved my ass. haha. met fellow qm at btm for dinner after ky went off. i had dessert. budget la. haha. there was a pretty girl at the adjacent table. haha. took 157 home. fell asleep. too tired alr. wg also fell asleep on his bus ride home. haha. what a fun day :):):)

sunday after valentine's
its sunday and i'm back. let's talk about happy things.
k actually i think its sad that GREY'S ANATOMY IS OVER... but im glad that i could finish watching the season before i enlist :) quite a sweet ending. must watch the next season! but my sister's friend said she stopped watching after season four because it got too annoying how meredith and derek keep going back and forth. sigh... i'll probably be in camp while they play it on tv. gonna have to watch it online on the weekends.
brought a secondary one class to the science centre for yoghurt making. it was okay. the kids were a little rowdy but they listened to instructions. one kid kept saying i looked bored. which i was. haha. talked to one of the guides a little. she's my age. from AJC i think. she couldnt believe that cy was 19 too! haha! oh and i met a secondary school friend. sk. she's working at the gift shop there. she whispered something damn funny in my ear... "he a bit gay right?" (referring to the other intern) and i said "what a thing to say..." but what i was thinking was "YUP!"
what a weird valentine's day. no real plans. but somehow still occupied. managed to stay out till 12 plus. NTU talk with ct, zat, hong kee and ky. 11am to 5pm. met up with v, had dinner and watched UNDERWORLD. quite a nice show. should go watch the first movie before watching the second one though. BY THE WAY, ENG WAH SUCKS!!! the seats had so little leg room and the air conditioning was non-existent. really. it sucks!
met wg (arhhhh... feel like killing you right about now. but it'll wear off (: ) at orchard so he could have kfc. BY THE WAY, THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NON-EXISTENT HERE TOO! AND IN THE 7-11 NEXT DOOR! IT'S LIKE EVERYONE JUST DECIDED TO BAKE!
v went home. ky wg and i went dempsey. was okay. got to see my fellow qm :) plus! the qms got chauffeured to holland v by malaysian's driver to fetch the aspiring magician! so cool right? haha. OUR seniors came. nice talking to them. had a lot of army ghost stories. creepy. but stick-thin said its not scary unless you think about it. so dont. and malaysian is such an alcoholic. seriously. she needs help. like AA or something. haha.
im so glad there wasn't a singles party on valentine's. coz that way i didn't miss out on any action. haha. sorry v. next time la. think the talks in the day were draining. was exhausted by the time i got home.
got my hair cut today. its weird. luckily im not planning to see anybody for a week. hopefully it'll grow a bit by next weekend. went to run too. the only exercise i've gotten the entire weekend. gave up after 20 mins. the spicy food in my stomach was burning me from the inside out. haha. but at least i managed to spend some time in the sun. the BRIGHT side :)
had "tuition" with my cousin. he didn't bring any of his books home. so cant do anything -_- ended up helping him with his history project, which we completed :)
that's all. tata.

tired... but doing this anyway
many things to talk about this week :)
but first let me get this out to everyone i haven't told... THERE'S A CREEPY GUY NEAR MY PLACE!!! k you really don't have to read this part if i've already told you about him. haha. anyway...
it was about 1030pm at the traffic light near my place. i was on my way home from tuition. while waiting for the light, this chinese man, probably in his forties, turned around and said hi. let me recall the conversation as best as i can...
creep: hi
me: hi
creep: oh you're very friendly
me: haha. i think more people should be friendly.
(light comes on. we start walking. AND HE PUTS HIS ARM ACROSS MY SHOULDERS!!!)
creep: i hope you don't mind me putting my arm on your shoulder.
me: uhhhh okay... (thinking well this guy's weird... started walking faster so he'd remove his arm. thank goodness he did... phew...)
chat chat chat... then under a block near mine...
creep: why don't we sit down and talk? just five minutes.
i was like hmmm this guy must be depressed or something. i considered sitting down... but i didn't feel comfortable. so i just stood there. and he sat down.
creep: just five minutes...
me: nvm la... the seat's wet (it was raining earlier in the day)
creep: it's not wet here (he patted the space right next to him!)
at this point i was like SHIT!!! he got up and started looking for another seat. and as soon as he turned i started missed-calling my sis and dad. LUCKILY my dad called back and i pretended as if he wanted me home. i told the CREEP i had to go and walked ever so quickly. PHEEEEEEEEEEW!
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPY!!!
ANYWAY...
school has been WONDERFUL!!! the kids have been heaven. and i got a really good review for one of the lessons :) its great!
my cousin got engaged yesterday. had this big ceremony. was okay. not the most fun i've had. but whatever. family :) she offered to take us out to clarke quay for dinner but i had to decline coz i was paddling with ky the next morning.
which i did :) 8km in the peisheng. what a nice morning :)
anyway. i can finally confirm that i'm part of a beach volleyball interest group :) they had a game today but i couldn't make it. went visiting with secondary school friends :) can't wait to finally play volleyball with them. wonder what kind of people they are... anyone wanna join please let me know. they play on sundays. late morn to early afternoon.

CNY week!!!
been a wonderful week :) time just seemed to fly by...
i had actually written a few paragraphs. but i deleted them coz it was starting to sound like a narration. so here it goes...
life's been good. been meeting up with friends :) :) :)
went to yj's house ytd. what sinful fun. haha. no la. stop thinking dirty. i just gambled a bit. no drinking. but won some cash $$$ after losing lots of yj's. haha. met some of her council friends. they're mostly nice.
after most of them left, we talked about yj and her friend's troubled love-lives. sigh... im so glad my mind's too occupied to be worrying about when im going to get a girlfriend. but it's all planned out. i'll get together with THE girl in uni :)
one of my friends is trying to break it off with someone. its a pity coz they've been together for some time. hope they'll patch things up.
think i view relationships more seriously than most. i feel people get together and break up too often. which is why i think people shouldn't even be boyfriend and girlfriend in the first place.
they should just spend time together.
as often or as seldom as they want.
no strings attached.
they should definitely have their own lives.
they shouldn't be acting differently in front of people from when they're alone.
and if things don't work out, they should definitely still at least be able to be friends.
and they shouldn't be trying to forget one another.
think its really sad when you wanna forget. then that part of your life will always be missing.
k enough emo talk. haha
doesn't look like it's been a good week right? haha. but it has. all the time spent with friends :)
anyway, i've been gyming and running rather frequently :) my pull-up target for army is met. 20 pull-ups! yeah okay it might not sound that great but i'm happy :) still trying to get under 9 minutes for 2.4... did interval training with wx... I SWEAR I WAS DYING!!! maybe running with a crosser isn't such a good idea. haha. just kidding. he's very encouraging :) and very serious. just what i need :) i'm super cannot stick to programme when it comes to running. haha.
k that's my week in a nutshell. tata.

CNY weekend 2009 :)
its been a nice week. some highlights... taught my own classes, went on excursions with the students, watched grey's anatomy, class CNY dinner and sleepover, and MCS gathering :)
let's see... where shall i start? k. teaching my own classes is definitely something i always wanted to do. and i always had this image of a nice, mature, well-behaved class. well... it was good motivation, but every rose has thorns. i've taught two different classes. one's really well-behaved after a little nudge. i was really happy to teach them :)
but the other needs a whole lot more discipline. gosh... i could barely hear myself teach. and its such a pity that those who actually are trying to pay attention are stuck in a class with a few inconsiderate delinquents. by the end of the class, i had insufficient oxygen in my brain and i was dying for the couch in the staff lounge. i'll be stricter the next time i see them.
anyway, for the first three days of the week, i went on excursions with three different classes to three different places. the classes i was attached to were all quite nice and friendly. thank goodness. i have more friends now :) when my internship ends, i'll reveal my true age. muahahahaha. and i will finally be able to talk to them like im 19. i mean... gosh... 25? seriously? im flattered that they think i look mature... not elderly.
next would be grey's anatomy. you know what? channel 5 shows it on monday, and starworld on tuesday. the thing is... ITS THE SAME EPISODE! so i get to watch the same episode TWICE! haha. yup. its that nice. contrary to popular belief, its not all about sex. really. give it a chance and you'll see. and you must watch an entire episode. right up until the end. the wonderful narration at the end is part of what makes the show so cool :)
SB1 CNY dinner and sleepover was quite fun. like i mentioned before. its less about what we're doing than about the time we spend doing stuff together. there was a lot of food. nice food. pasta. fried chicken wings. potato salad. prawn. and bak kua! which i didnt eat of course. haha. thanks cl and family! we watched dvds. some played mahjong. got a gift from a certain someone from her trip overseas. a nice keychain :)
and then there was the MCS gathering. a simple, not very meticulously planned get-together. just went to fh's place to watch dvd's and had pizza :) we might have another gathering. this time with OUR seniors. they're a fun bunch. maybe lat and i can sing together again :) haha.
stuff on my mind? well, i wanna go to sentosa every weekend for volleyball. so i wanna get a group together to play. anyone up for it? please do let me know.
k. that's all for this week. tata. oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ps. feel free to keep me an hong bao :)

first sunday as a teacher
:) finally know what it feels like to look forward to the weekend. last time... we had training or had to study so it felt the same as any other day. but now, having time to do what i want feels like such a luxury. besides marking, now i can just do what i want. gym. clean my room. read. sit around at home with family. and eat just coz im bored. haha.
k. today i went to the jurong west sports complex gym for the first time. with ch and wx. the place is quite well equipped. comparable to school. but still smaller than the super gym of course. had quite a good workout.
except... the barbell bench press station was hogged by a group of guys and a group of girls taking turns to use the machine. and it seemed like they were only doing one machine the whole day -_- i compromised by using dumbbells. minute difference i guess.
anyway, i realise that ch is a lot like cc. big ego. haha joking joking. he's nice. damn funny. too addicted to whatever game he's playing if you ask me. haha.
ate quite a lot today i think. too bored. and too much food. haha.
about the rest of the week. well... its been a learning experience. quite boring since its been a lot of observation and no teaching. but im getting more comfortable in the school. there are these two teachers we met in the staff lounge... they're damn funny. one of them is perenakan. and they're both really into the little nonya. so they're really hyped up about going to the peranakan museum. im going too by the way. chinatown too. with the students. ITS FREE!!! dont be jealous... haha. next week will be FUN!!! :)
now i have to stop slacking and finish up my marking. dont wanna sleep too late. off to the library... tata.
hmmm maybe i'll eat again first. haha.

lost
how do two people living under one roof suddenly find that they are worlds apart? think its coz when the gap is small, we let it go. but one day, we'll find that the gap is difficult to bridge.
somehow, im different from my siblings. im this nerd who studies like its the end of the world and has no life while my siblings give me the impression that they think of studies as a secondary issue to going out. why are we so different? i like to think that im lucky. going to the right schools. making the right friends. picking the right hobbies. and so im content with my life despite these differences. but i feel helpless, somewhat handicapped, when one of my siblings gets into trouble or starts acting irresponsibly and i dont know what's going on or how to help. the worst part is... its difficult to be a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on when there has previously been no real communication.
im sorry... you'll probably not know what im talking about in the paragraphs below. but you can have fun trying to figure it out.
people respond differently to the same situation. i would have taken the softer more investigative approach instead of just scolding her upside down. i feel... once you've passed a certain phase, there's no point in scolding.
SHE was scolding her. anger and frustration in HER voice. a sign of care. but im not sure if its helping the situation. i was waiting to intercede before SHE gave her a tight slap. but luckily i didn't have to. i was confused. if SHE has the kind of bond with her that SHE claims she does, then SHE should understand what she's going through. but that wasn't the vibe i got. it felt like a parent scolding a child. it just doesn't work anymore.
generally, im the sort who'd probably give in to his friends if put under enough pressure. and im guessing that's why she's been coming home so late. she didnt use to be like this. she used to come home straight from school. responsible. not like now. and its not like she's not allowed to go out. she is. she just has to let whoever is at home know what time she'll be back. not difficult at all. i think the problem lies with her not knowing when she mustn't give in. she has responsibilities, which i thought, and still think, has changed her for the better. but the guy she's going out with. he's just a bad influence. ignorance is a child's excuse.
family, then friends, then self. think i've gotten it the wrong way round all this while.
i just had to get this off my chest. going to have trouble sleeping tonight. again. this isnt healthy. life. tata.
somehow, im different from my siblings. im this nerd who studies like its the end of the world and has no life while my siblings give me the impression that they think of studies as a secondary issue to going out. why are we so different? i like to think that im lucky. going to the right schools. making the right friends. picking the right hobbies. and so im content with my life despite these differences. but i feel helpless, somewhat handicapped, when one of my siblings gets into trouble or starts acting irresponsibly and i dont know what's going on or how to help. the worst part is... its difficult to be a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on when there has previously been no real communication.
im sorry... you'll probably not know what im talking about in the paragraphs below. but you can have fun trying to figure it out.

going well :)
the past two days of the internship workshops have been great. im usually tired during class, but i always manage to learn something. the trainer sounds like she's either taught or has been VP/P in every school. haha. met new people :) always great to meet new ppl.
you know what a certain new indon friend did today??? let me tell you... there are two water dispensers. one for coffee, one for tea. he took a cup and started filling it from one of the dispensers. when the cup was full, he asked "why the tea so concentrated?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! ITS COFFEE!!! wah... couldn't stop laughing! he even said that its coz its dispensed from the bottom! doesnt even make sense! hahaha. k its damn bad to laugh at someone i've known for only one and a half days. but it was damn funny. and i needed something to perk me up :) sorry jan.
anyway, i gave my first tuition lesson today!!! what a fulfilling experience. the mom was so nice. i called to tell her that i lost my way and i'll be late, anticipating some unhappiness. but none whatsoever :) she asked me "are you singaporean?" singapore so small also can get lost. haha. the boy was really easy to teach too. he's quite bright. he wouldn't be in NA if he had some study structure i think. 20 bucks per hour is so great!!!
honestly, when i was teaching, it felt so rewarding that the money i got at the end was like a bonus, even though it was initially the main motivation :) intangible satisfaction and $$$. lalalalalalala life is wonderful :)

canoe bbq
canoe bbq had quite a good turn-up :) too bad the drinks sucked :( wonder why people drink carlsberg... gross.
anyway, the cafe cartel apron is such a joke. what a place to put a pocket. the designer must either be stupid, or really horny. haha. next time you go cafe cartel, take note of where the waiters' hands go. it'll give you new perspective why the food tastes soooo good. haha.
nice to play cards with ws, ky etc again :) just like old times when we ate at coro, or at canoeing/dragonboat competitions, or when we were supposedly studying at the library. hmm... hope we studied hard enough. but whatever the results, im glad things have gone the way they have thus far :)
had a terrible headache on the way home. so painful i forgot to tap my card when i alighted! adult fare!!! sigh. heart pain.
my sis just got back from china so my parents wouldn't let me go take a shower until i saw what my sister got me. i had to discretely cover my mouth with the towel in case my breath stank of ... scary. anyway, she got me a baby blue polo ralph lauren cashmere sweater!!! very comfortable :) she said im supposed to wear it during lectures in university. haha. how forward-looking. maybe if she wasn't so forward-looking, she'd have just given me money... curse the virtue. don't get me wrong. i still love the sweater :)
hmm... wonder how wg is gonna get his money back. lucky got my fellow qm as girlfriend to help. haha. tata.

enjoy the new year
siloso beach party was awesome!!! up until about 2am, after which i regained full consciousness. haha.
i had loads of fun in 2008, sometimes crossing lines i didn't think i ever would. my decisions, my experiences, my mistakes.
2009 is a time for more experiences to remember :)
k actually i wanted to end the post already. but i have a confession: i drank. didnt plan to. but always knew i might end up doing it anyway. sigh. talk about crossing a line... but being a little woozy felt great. honestly, i was afraid i'd get wasted before the countdown. haha. but i survived. thank god liz was with us. someone to look after. someone to help me keep my sanity. haha. but still, i did certain things so spontaneously when i would normally be so hesitant. it didnt prove to be a bad thing yesterday, but i know it might in the future.
mixed feelings about drinking: im not supposed to... but it felt good. guilty pleasure.
