Haven't blogged for a while, anyway, this is a cry for help. does anyone know of any place that i can book for a small function or event, semi-formal, for something like close to about a hundred people? Or even if anyone knows a good events management company?

Anyway, had a firefighting course last week, which was really fun, took loads of pictures too but too lazy to upload them now. Respect the firemen man, their training is tough. Okay too lazy to blog now also.

Merry christmas!

Wow i just realised i'm damn cheap. I rarely buy things. In fact, more than half the stuff i'm using is either a present, a free gift or someone else's. Like my bags, laptop, ipod, wallet, watch, clothes, heck, even cologne.

The only things i spend on recently have been my handphone, and... cigarettes. At this rate i'll be rich on my pay soon, as long as i don't go out and chiong or stuff.

Ho hum. Booked out early today because of an exercise the prior day. So much to do, so little time.

Sunday, November 27, 2005

So anyway another week has gone by. Sigh.

Had a pretty busy day yesterday, after booked out, met up with my family for lunch, then went back to SP for the Chill open house thingy with fa fa. Wanted to go find all our old lecturers and all to say hi but by the time we got there it was over.

Sooooo.......only managed to see a few chio girls still in school, so it wasn't exactly a wasted trip. The career guidance center was closed too so i didn't get to find out stuff for my uni app. Like..........taking SAT. anyone know where to sign up?

Next, rushed back home, before heading over to neighbour lin's house with marcus for.....another open house. Ended up playing mortal kombat on xbox. Then met Evon the vampire dwarf to watch movie, vampire having dual meanings here. One, she bites, literally. Two, she.... sucks.:X

Lastly, went down to arab street to meet ahmad and ada and marcus again for seisha and talk cock. Wah lau eh. Messed up day. Should have just gone home to play NFS Most Wanted.

Lots of things to do man....and so little time. I neeeeeeed help to apply for uni! anyone?

Too tired to blog. Also, not sure what to blog about.






Taking a break.

From.

Blogging.













for at least a week or two. :P

Save myself a world of trouble. Heh.

Sunday, October 16, 2005

One down, 8 more months left before i can go study... whee. Life in the naval wing is.....very different from the army wings. Instructors do not stay in with us, thus, the naval cadets are rather autonomous and self-regulated.

So....no push-ups, no run there touch that, no verbal scoldings. Any mistakes, you'll just get WPs (Withdrawal of privileges), which simply mean that you book out late or book in early, according to the number of WPs you get, or straight confinement. Sigh. It's also....well, pretty childish here.

Lots of stress because there's a lot of stuff to study and learn, passing grade for some tests are 90%. Fail? No problem, re-test and confine! Plenty of time to study too because there's no lights-out.....can sleep as late as 4am! Just that you still have to wake up at 520.

Anyway, there's very little physical exercise here, apart from morning exercise. I'm getting so fat inside the navy, extra buoyancy and all... but it's quite a pleasant change from perpetually running around in the infantry. Heh. Booking in again later....sigh. Hope time passes faster.


bookout attire - wear until machiam mafia.


No idea why our heads are touching. so gay.

Sunday, September 18, 2005

Everytime i'm out i think of stuff to blog about but once i'm home my mind's a blank. Procrastinating about everything again...sigh. Supposed to do a few things, like give comments for some fashion thing for a friends, research on universities to apply for, blog, and some other stuff. but everytime i sit down in front of the computer i end up playing games... Heh


pic from bbq yesterday.

Saturday, September 17, 2005

Ok, it's been a while...

Lots of things been happening. Foremost of which is.....POP loh, l.... got my posting, to OCS Midshipman Wing.....where i will train to be a naval officer! I signed on as a regular too.... for various reasons, i.e. scholarship for my degree, money, chance to travel overseas, hopefully can do a masters while serving my term too.

I'll really miss everyone in BMT...from our instructors to my section mates, had some really great times with those guys. Now i'm chatting with Marcus and he's scaring me with stuff i need to bring and do in OCS. First book in need to bring everything and have so much shit already. Sigh.

In more recent news, just got back this morning from a bbq at mario's place yesterday night. After playing games at his place.....we went down to orchard.....to play more games.....through the night. Finished at 6+ in the morning. Kaoz, that was the first and hopefully last time i play LAN to that extent.

Feeling like the world is passing me by... it's been less than half a year and i'm cut adrift again... from old friends, poly mates...and now bmt mates. I always feel like this at the passing of a life stage, wonder if others do too...

Anyway, just to add some colour... a couple of pics. There's more....but i gotta get it off Mario, who forgot to pass them out yesterday while we were at his place. asshole.

Situational test is done! no more outfield (jungle) training for the rest of BMT! Yay!

too lazy to post up pics on my blog...but will summarize what's been going on... BMT is pretty fast paced. at the end of every week will feel damn stoned, tired out and all. Life is routine and monotonous because of all the bloody waiting time, for administrative and/or boliaoness.

But, it is good because you end up becoming so fit. I feel the fittest ever in my whole life man... aches all over but still going, because of competitiveness. hehe. I absolutely abhor outfield training though, because of the lack of hygiene. Train the whole day, perspire like a mating cow, then can't bath, only powder bath. Mud and sand sticking everywhere...oil, camoflauge cream....etecera. During our field camp, 7 days of rubbish lessons and plenty of endurance training, cos' you lug 30kg odd of stuff around everywhere.

Wearing combat fatigues, which traps heat, eating combat rations, which is something like baby food but with a more pungent smell, swopping my comfortable bolster for a bloody rifle to hug while sleeping, shitting out in the open, over layers of other people's shit, being raped continually by insects, and best of all, corporal punishment. That totally sucks ass, if one person slacks or does something wrong, everyone gets into trouble. Recruits are at the mercy of instructors, whom, if in a bad mood, can be damn unreasonable.

Aaaaaanyway, breezed through everything else, and just concluded our sit test. 3D2N camp to assess our leadership/stress management/peer management aptitude. A small group to run around and try to complete 12 missions, like crossing a river, defending a relay point, that kind of stuff, exactly like adventure camp, so that was pretty fun.

Too lazy to write more... anyway, think there's more than enough people writing about army life, but the problem is that outside of army i don't have much of a life now so can't blog about anything else.

Sunday, July 10, 2005

A month has whizzed by and we're now officially out of PTP (physical training phase), for female readers, that's a month of pure P.E lessons. Ranging from stupid things like passing medicine balls through your legs, to group runs and gym sessions. Yes, only fat flabby fucks and idiots who forget to take their NAPFA have to go through this. (i belong to the first category.)

One thing good though, is that now i feel much fitter than i've ever been, not feeling all that healthy though, because i'm coughing like a bitch, supposedly due to the extra-chlorinated water in our wonderful island chalet.

Anyway, will be starting BMT, which will also be damn sian but will not have so much free time for us to slack in the bunks already. Soooo..... i hope it passes by fast.

Moving on, i need to get a license very badly. Cos' it sucks when your girlfriend stays in the east while i stay in......... buona vista. Hope to pia finish my bloody theory test then can take TP liao. Hopefully after that can take bike lessons as well. While i'm hoping, i hope that i either discover/invent something that will make me very rich, or establish a drug smuggling ring, which will also make me very rich.

As you can see, i have very specific goals in life.

Finally, i would like to say that i'm happy now. :D I'm with a wonderful girl, a great family, good friends and no big problems in life... what more can a guy want? except for more money, of course.

Saturday, June 25, 2005

Just got back from confinement week. Heh, so stoned now.

Anyway, to those who haven't enlisted yet, the first week is about the most difficult, cos' adjusting and all.... bloody sian. it's brief periods of intense activity followed by long waiting times. No real choice anyway, all big organisations are bureaucratic.

Section's pretty fun, landed in the same section as Dennis, so okay there. The rest all pull their own weight, so is okay la, we keep each other's morale up. Loads of funny stories tho,

one guy snores like a hog in mating season, one guy, was the only one out of the twelve without an english name, we called him laa-laa. And it stuck, so the whole company knows him as laa-laa. one guy, has a tattoo on his arm yet scared of injection like girl like that, hilarious stuff. We all bo pian entertain ourselves.

got wayang kia, got bo chup boys all also got! so abit irritating at times, plus training is like damn boring man. the thing i can't stand most is the loss of freedom... just the idea that my time is not my own anymore. bleah. In the fight for freedom, the soldiers lose theirs.

okay end of army post.

Saturday, June 11, 2005

Okay, this will be my final post.....for quite a while. It's about 4 hours till i'm officially an NSF!

Haven't even packed anything yet. Anyhoo, a recap of the last week...

it's been a blast. met up with loads of friends all throughout, to like....i dunno, say my last goodbyes or something. And for the gadzillionth time, i swear i'm never drinking again.

More importantly, i met this girl, from way back during poly forum last november i think... bumped into her on monday, and over the week just been going out and having fun. Well you all know how the story goes...

But i think i'm still commitment-phobic. Wary, i guess, as in get scared off by 'too deep, too fast'. Heh. So i'm hoping to take things slow and wish for the best...

Was just at Holland V earlier for a late drink with my darling xun xun and evon the dwarf queen when we got talking about alot of stuff. Found out many things, some i didn't want to know. -_- point is, apparently, sagitarius' have sucky love lives. No i don't believe in horoscopes, is just a fun fact!

Ending off here, gotta pack and shit now. Everything turns out right in the end. To everyone in general and in no particular order:
eh jio me out next next saturday! Initial D! - hey! that just inspired me to write cryptic messages for people! i shall just put their first initial and a message for them, figure it out yourselves!

J! missing you already...
W! don't watch Initial D without me!
C! Quit smoking and i quit with you! Shit i need a license.
A! Break a(nother) leg! Love you man!
M! fucking warts. Love you too.
S! owe me a pack of smokes! don't love you anymore!
C! let's go batam! nobody will want your balls and brains. they're actually the same organ.
E! you very short! (ok everyone will know who liao, heh)
R! i still haven't gone ur dad's shop. shit. heh.
J! gym gym gym! gym until ur balls drop!
M! Seisha! when ah?
A! meet up soon man, thx for the wristband. miss you.
J! take care of urself mr. crack every bone in ur body!
T! thanks for ride. hope u enlist soon, tc too!
J! will miss ur lame jokes. fuck you!
G! won't miss ur lame jokes. fuck you!
H! hey neighbour! no more late night suppers for a loooooong time... :(

okay i just realised what a futile attempt this is. it'll take me forever. so nvm. just, well, good luck with whatever's going on with your lives everyone else!

Wednesday, June 08, 2005

Yay, enlisting in three days. Can't wait, but starting to feel like so many things i haven't done, like.... buy and pack stuff for camp, meet up with old friends, hook up and stuff.

Last week haven't been going out much, sleeping alot. Bleah. met up with andrew to talk cock, met up with shifa & co cos' he enlisted last friday, met up with class guys for dinner and stuff, met up with mad airplane RP girl to talk cock, and later going meet more people for farewell for adam and me cos' we enlisting on saturday, plus is cheng xun's birthday today.

Spending oodles of money too. Thank god i'm going in liao, so no chance to spend money.

Anyhoo, was ogling nurses today again. Visits to the orthodontist have never been so fun!

Wednesday, May 25, 2005

Hurrah! Time for another one of my increasingly rare posts!

It's nearing the end of the holidays for me, another transition in my life ...yada yada yada. Going into army come 11th June. Quite looking forward to it cos' i'm bored now.

Haven't been going out much recently tho. Slowly losing my sanity, don't know why either. This is the part where usually people'll insert goth prose. "the shadow envelops my twilight soul, and august silence descends upon my prostate form as i crawl into ethereal darkness." okay that's about as goth as i can get.

Anyway, yeah, anti-social. Think i'm just bored. Smoking is bad. None of that lung cancer or heart disease shit is scary to the invincible youth. But impotency man. Smoking causes impotency. That's one heck of a badass angle to get people off smoking.

Currently cigarette packets have the warning labels and pictures (brain, mouth, oesophagus, family, indian dude, and baby; gotta collect them all!), not having much effect after the initial gross-out period. But swop them with like.....a limp blimp, and wham! No more male smokers. or like a sperm with two heads, or heads at both ends. That's some sick shit...

Moving on, have been collecting 1 dollar coins in anticipation of going P. Tekong to use on vending machines. On that note, i shall draw up a check list for stuff you need to bring on enlistment day for easy reference for fellow soon-to-be-NSFs!

le liste de contrôle (the checklist!)
_ Alarm clock (the noiser the better, if you can't wake up, at least your platoonmate will!)
_ Cheapo watch (water resistant)
X Padlock(s) (venti sized)
X Snake powder (st. lukes)
_ Small mirror (among other toiletries la)
X Coins (for aforementioned reason)
_ Clothes hangars (not sure about this one)
X Black masking tape (impt, tape everything! rifle, SPO, nipples etc...)
X Ziploc bags (keep stuff dry, esp. for out field camp) (Thx to ShiFatFuck for contributing!)

Other necessities no need to list la, i.e. change of civvy clothes, ample underwear, porno mags, religious artifacts to fight ghosts...etc.

and the number one most important thing to bring....
_ A small bar of slippery and easy to drop soap!

Okay will update this list as and when i think of things. did i miss out anything? *Edited*

It's 3 in the morning and i'm chatting with jethro. Super cock chat, at first just cos' i was looking for info on the web about the Amish.

Then we started talking about illuminati, their symbol of the pyramid and all-seeing eye, alien presence and all...... and pretty soon the conversation had degenerated into how Pyramids came into existence.....

I give u....an insight into Jethro's mind....



I bloody hell need to go sleep. the msn chat is starting to get really sick.
So anyway, i was on the bus home today right, and i had a brainwave! Some ideas for the 15 minute short for the panasonic digifilmfest. Wheeeeee!~ The conclusion i have come to (also while on the bus) is that i think better while sitting down doing nothing en route to home, as the amount of my brain activity(negligible) finally supercedes the amount of physical activity(very little) i'm doing, therefore it works like it's supposed to.

To start the day properly, woke up to meet some guys for a brainstorming session for ideas for the film, at Jurong East. However, as usual whenever there are no looming deadlines, nothing much got done, and we ended up talking cock. Which is a good inspiration for ideas actually.

Watched divergence, a very wtf show with new boyfriend cx, then went down to Orchard to meet shifuck and wilfred. Slacking at the open space at Taka like a kinky foursome of mats, saw this crazy ass cyclist - full gear, gloves, bodysuit, knee pads, shades (at 9pm?) with a pretty expensive rig, replete with 7 intermittent signal lights going circles round the open space.

Now ordinarily i would just put it down to typical nutcase, but this guy came close to clipping alot of people, going really close to the sides where a lot of ma...people were sitting. Including two small children.

Now ordinarily i would just put it down to typical stuntman-esque risktaking daredevil shit, but this guy wasn't doing any stunts, just going circles and circles around. Reminded me of my love life - going nowhere. =
Of course, given his actions, i wouldn't be surprised if he hunts for blogs mentioning his antics today and going "Hahaha i'm famous!!!!" on the tagboards (not an invitation for you assholes!).

Anyway, apart from seeing the aZn Evel Knievel...ehmm...... ran into carol and her friend karen whom shifa is smitten with, professed my undying unrequited love for shifa, saw a babe! on the bus, and decided on more refinements to the doctrine of my cult, the Disciples of Chris.*

*Religion's a very lucrative business. And it is a business. Financial renumeration for wellbeing and peace of mind, envisioning a utopia after death (or even before, for some cannier ones). More on the DoC (yes, adapted...nonono transmorgrified from AmHistX) in a later post.

Listening to:
Stereophonics - Dakota
Home Made Kazoku - Thank You (some catchy jap song of which i can only catch "kimochi!!!")

Just saw a hilarious quote on bash.

Ar0uNd » Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot his whole life, which created an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him frail, and with his odd diet, he suffered from very bad breath. This made him.... what?

--a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis
.

Don't know how many people will get it tho.

An ode to receptionists

And so... i'm doing reception again
i am so sian, i mean i am man!
answer the phonecall, take message and all
i know i am cute, but damn i feel small.

so bored at work, still got shitloads to do,
go out for lunch, hear clarence got sued. (again)
come back to work, e-mail piling,
just got a call, for LO meeting.

10 more days, feels like years away,
but when it's over, will i be gay?
gay as in happy, not as in fag,
which is actually, synonym for snag.

now i will go,
time pass so slow.
deplorable is,
my english to singlish.

Thank you!
(Spoken in uppity English accent)

But i'm still bored now leh. blog lo. Anyway, took my final theory test yesterday. And here's something useful for all aspiring drivers!.

-An excerpt from the bestselling book which will be released island-wide in the Summer of 2008 - "How to pass your driving and other superfluous tips only a retard would need and read" by Christopher Wan, author extraordinaire and frequently unreliable fortune teller.

"Chapter XII - Passing your final theory test.

The keywords to look out for, in the gruelling and oft-confusing 50 question test is "Slow down and prepare to stop if necessary" Once you have seen that phrase, reading onwards is redundant. That is the right answer, regardless of what the question is.

You are thus guaranteed a minimum of at least 15 correct answers, making it that much harder to fuck up your test!

Also, it helps to bring a blue or black quill pen, as the advanced computerized test-taking system, initiated in the year 1856, continues to undergo rigourous testing for system integrity. In the meantime, all tests are being conducted via papyrus scrolls and oral recitation."

Wan, also a terrible poet, and recognised sexpert on widely stratified topics, including Engrish Literature, graciously takes the time to explain the true meaning of a oft-quoted phrase.

"Many educated scholars like to say "the pen is mighter than the sword", but that's just an excuse for pussies who can only talk and are scared of physical violence, which is actually a completely natural behavior. I mean, why do you think we have the instinctual physiological "fight-or-flight" response, and not "talk cock-or-run like cock."

The true quote is "the penis mighter than the sword", which i believe is self-explanatory and meaningful, even today. Simply a result of losing records over the years, and having an extra space inserted, to distort the whole meaning of a great, great sentence."
-----
End of rubbish. Yes i am bored.

Monday again! four more weeks of attachment! Booya!

Need desperately to get a punching bag soon. Purely shadowboxing is gonna fuck up my whole system. This is because the highly adaptable human body, will soon learn to compensate if you practice strikes solely in thin air, i.e. shadowboxing.

Then when you actually hit a hard target, be it a human torso or a heavy bag, you overcompensate and probably can't hit for shit, or worse, lose your balance *personal experience*. Soooooooo........it is very important to practice hitting something solid. Like a bag. Which i so desperately need.

EDITED AND WITH PICTURES!
Long ass post!

Or would be, if i could remember half the shit that went on...
Had a great day hanging out with friends today! Many many things to post about!

Woke up early early at 12 plus, supposed to meet up with Ahmad and Safuan to go for the ACS(Br) funfair.... so went to fair. Had a blast running around and messing stuff up. Cos' we're from the graduating class of 2001, didn't know that many people cos' many many year pass alledy.

Bought 30 bucks worth of tickets but ended up spending only 9 dollars worth, on drinks. Kanasai! Nevermind, i will just take it as fund raising. In which case i have already donated $300 to the school before to pay for one wall.

Reminiscing...
The story behind this is that in sec. 4, we always muck around in class wrestling and stripping ppl and stuff, so anyway one day i was messing about with this classmate, we'll call him Fatass, but he's not really fat, just a big ass guy with a tkd blackbelt, and so Fatass pushed me into a row of chairs, after which i got pissed off and pushed him back against the wall partition.

Dunno how he fell, but he went through the wall, and we could now communicate visually with the class next door. Couldn't cover the hole because it poked through to the other side, so decided that attack is the best form of defense. Cos' it's always better to report shit that happened first, if you can't cover it up.

Went to see the discipline donkey, who thought we were covering up for something the class did, and didn't believe that the hole was caused by a dimunitive guy like me shoving a fatass like Fatass into the wall. End result was that the whole class got detention and we had to pay for the wall.

Barker boys...
ANYWAY, going back to today, we bumped into an old friend, Roger (name changed to protect identity), from Pri. sch, a really nice guy but is slightly autistic. And it's mean to laugh at things like this but the conversation was really, well, funny. Chatted for a few minutes then was about to go off, when he asked for our names...

Roger: "So what's your name, Mr...?"
Me: "Chris."
Roger: "Chris who?"
Me: "Yah, Chris Who."
Safuan: "Chris H-O-O."
Roger (to Ahmad): "Okay, and you are...?"
Ahmad: "Matt Damon."
Roger(to Safuan): "I'm sure... and you?"
Safuan: "Shah Rukh Khan."
Roger: "Not surprising..."

He knows more than he lets on, but he's really nice and all about everything. Great guy. Following which, we went around the school bugging random strangers, took pictures with complete strangers, picked a fight with a bewildered stallholder, flirted with every girl there, stuff. Made videos and all, will try to upload after editing. Heh.


Met up with loads of old teachers, esp. Mrs. Tan, who was the head of the PE dept and our favourite teacher, cos' she's in charge of our second CCA, Sportsleaders, which is basically a society that organises sports events, with the fringe benefit of skipping school a hell of a lot.

Old times...
Went down to Orchard to meet Marcus for dinner after that, which was great! cos' i finally get to see all of them again! Will interject here with hard evidence that all my friends are gay, AND HERE THEY ARE!


Saf sucking Ahmad's bicep when we just reached ACS. gay fags. Not 10 minutes after meeting and they're at it already.


Three of us! Moi, Fat² Marcus and Skinny Prick Ahmad! (Note that they have their gay arms round each other.)


Marcus flirting with his fren who's clutching at his chest protectively. Note the provocative pout and head resting on hands seductively.


Just. Gay.

Ate at Heeren's NYDC, where Saf ordered the Dynamite pizza, and asked for the super motherfucking hot version, which you can request for. Hahahahahahaha when it came it was really superduper cowraping donkeyhumping hot!!! after one slice he was like, scratching his head and about to cry and all! End result, the rest of us had to help him finish.

Waiter was flirting with Marcus, complimenting him on his choice of pasta, Ahmad was flirting with the waitress. Well, we all had loads of fun!

birthday surprise!
After dinner, on a spur-of-the-moment decision we went to watch the safuan show, The Woodsman. Bought tickets and wanted to head up to Cineleisure level 8 to play pool before the show started, what should we see but a roaring birthday bash at k-box's function room! thrown for Hilltop Muay Thai's Master Johnnie!

*Ahmad and I have both trained under him a long time ago, but then we both slacked off le. Hahahahaha nevertheless he has de absolute best muay thai training in singapore!!! as well as bleddy hard shins.

Went in to wish him happy birthday right, then he seizes me and ahmad, and repeatedly invites the whole bunch of us to eat and drink something. Not daring to refuse, we all grab a cup of coke, because i'm scared if we don't, he might beat us up.
(Actually he wouldn't really beat us, he's a really really nice guy, but it sure isn't for lack of ability)

Snapped a picture with him too, but decided to leave after a very short while because of the muting atmostphere. Was very quiet and docile inside because can sense the aura of many many good fighters. Then is like in their presence we didn't dare to drink or smoke in the room even tho others were. Like if you know most of the people in the room can kick your ass you're gonna be a good boy. :P


L to R: Ada & Ahmad (gf&bf), Master Johnnie!, KC, mememe, Marcus & Saf (bf&bf).

Oh well, will post the pictures as soon as i find a good host. Any recommendations? picgallery and photobucket seems to take devious pleasure in hanging my uploads. Cheers! (Edit: Thanks jH for recommendation! photobucket finally unhumped me and could upload it. will try gfoto if it tries to anal me again.)
-first post in more than a month, cos' i drafted part of this on Sunday then only posted it much later-

Cockster man. Still in office, today I was carpenter boy at work. Dismantle tables and move around…. Summore the IT guy ask me whether got any friends who want to work manual labour, at the grand rate of 5 bucks per hour.
I’ve calculated. At my monthly pay of $600, for the month of February even, which is the shortest month, I’m working 28 days a month, 8 hours a day. Minus the 3 days of Chinese New Year, would give me an hourly pay of….

600 dollars / 25 days / 8 hours a day =







$3 an hour.

I should work under the manual labour scheme. Work 15 days 600 bucks liao. It’s a carpenter’s life for meeee….. Anyway, another thought just struck me. If office boy apprentice job pays worse than carpenter boy’s job….. how much does carpenter boy apprentice earn?

Wednesday, February 16, 2005

Had a pretty uneventful chinese new year, now that i recall. barely did any visiting, cos' most of my relatives are from malaysia, and managed to miss the family dinner when said relatives came down. heh.

Leading a pretty insular lifestyle now, what with work, driving lessons and my new hobby, no time nor energy to go out. just shuttle to work, burn out a bit more, go home, repeat.

work du jour
Speaking of which, work stuff's really piling up man, alternating between omnipresent 'on-going' projects which require monthly status reports and all, and the supermegaultraurgent this or that which was due yesterday.

Oh well, people at work are quite fun so not that bad, still quite entertained. Anyway, after work today i had to rush down to BBDC for driving lesson, took a motherfucking cockster bloody crowded single-deck bus.

fucking bus
One thing you people should know (if u don't) about me, is that i'm claustrophobic in the sense i don't like crowded enclosed areas, i.e. chinatown last week, as i will break out in cold sweat and be put in a foul ass mood. Was cursing everyone who came on, everyone who came off, and occasional passerbys.

It didn't help that the asshole of a driver moves like petrol is free but braking isn't, so he keeps running up to a high speed and then only applying brakes when he's already halfway into each bus stop. Worst jerky abrupt moving off and stopping i've ever seen... everyone was like 'ooh! aah!' all the way and colliding into each other.

Then worse still, miss.i'll-grind-my-ass-on-your-cock came up with two friends, took up a position squarely in front of me and proceeded to keep swaying back and forth. (Note: was standing sideways in the bus, the standing area next to the exit) Thankfully i had my 7-eleven texas pepper chicken sandwich, strategically carried, to hump her with instead, even tho i ate it later.

Seriously wanted to get off and take a cab or something but i was broke and my ez-link card was negative value so i was well and truly stuck. Was almost about to take my logbook and batter my way to the front of the bus, to stab the driver in the eye with my mechanical pencil so he would suffer from lead poisoning, when finally!! people started getting off and i had enough space to sulk by myself and think of expletives for the rabid busmonster controlling the steering wheel.

redemption
Nearing the driving school, a couple of cute secondary schoolgirls came on and ended up standing next to me, which is the main reason i didn't go sit down, despite there being a few empty seats... Waited.

Waited for just one bus stop.

The bastard driver didn't disappoint. The two girls fell right on me when the bus shot off. Muahahaha!

Anyhow, sadly, i reached my stop shortly after, got off, got waved at. so i waved back. Now that i think about it, they are pretty cute, and seemed pretty interested in me too, which is totally understandable. Wasted, didn't get their numbers or something. Oh well, hopefully i'll bump into them on thursday (next lesson).

F³> when u free? wan go get my camera this wkend?

is CNY week now, been staying home alot and sleeping. heh. lazy to go out visiting, this way i can slack and save money at the same time. work's getting more and more like work, plowing through lots of stuff now.

The good thing is that there's always more work to do so i won't feel bored anymore, and before i know it, it's 6 and time to go home. whee.

not much else been happening. feel all tired out inside. guess i'm wearing out. turning into a recluse, losing contact with all my friends, but that's okay. i'll just take one day at a time.

SURVIVED a week over of attachment le. keep getting told things will heat up but i'm bored NOW! still have to do up my portfolio but i'll keep putting it off till friday i guess.

Life revolves around going for work now... sian ½. on the plus side, i'm getting an 'allowance'(can't say pay, anot minus cpf and what-not, plus we're actually losing money, cos' paying school fees to work -_-) to just sit in the office and do occasional make-work. But also takes up most of the week so i have little time to do anything else.

Won't go into too much detail of attachment because i'm petrified someone from there will discover this site. Suffice to say it's not that bad and will hopefully get better.

After work today, went BBDC for my second driving lesson, the first being more than a month ago, couldn't book any till today because of work schedule + all the slots booked liao. Knn now have to pay peak period charges for lessons... Anyway, had a really great instructor for this lesson, cheery guy. You learn more when you're relaxed.

Okay that's about it, gotta go to work early tomorrow cos' got client meeting. booo. hope they don't notice if i don't contribute. But i'm really excited about tomorrow because i will be meeting someone special for dinner! even if she is someone's someone, i feel all tingly inside just to be able to talk to her. ^-^

just watched 'closer', with alfie, queen amidala, king arthur and tess ocean inside. k la, jude law, natalie i'm so in love with her portman, clive owen and julia roberts.

it's a new movie, about relationships and love, how four strangers, all with their own flaws just like everyone else, can fall in love so fast but then everything fucks up because the way they got together was fucked up as well. i.e. meet fast then end up fucking already, so not a lasting foundation as there is no trust involved.

*Note: i have discussed this with the guys previously remember? when i asked u all if u'd fuck before marriage and all that....

very touching show, in case you can't read the caption cos' i resized it too small, it reads:
"If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking"

make what you will of that. anyway u all should watch that show.

moving on, just finished two days of work! or rather, going to work and not doing much. hope hope hope will have stuff to do soon because i'm bored stiff in the office. Workflow's probably going to be like constipation, initially nothing, not even a dry fart, then suddenly a torrential rain of diarrhea ceaselessly. >_<

wheeee...school's out and now attachment. half excited but sad cos' ended poly forever. (unless i kena retained) went for an actual class outing proper yesterday! first time since.....well... the class formed.

will do my usual style of stealing pictures off dennis' blog...

yay group photo!


this year's class photo....as opposed to....


last year's one.

k abit lazy to post liao. soooo......went to swensens to eat, queued like a bitch before we could get in cos' there were.....15 of us. And the only reason we all even got together was because...... each person gets $5 a semester for outings and such, sponsored by the school, and so we're all so kiam we only went to have an outing cos' of the money we'd save culmulatively.

but not to end off on a sour note....i should be writing about sob story stuff and how i'll miss you guys and all.... :D and so on and so forth. kena molested by a frisky dwarf queen for no reason, and got laughed at for my excellent chinese as usual... sigh....yes i don't think i'll be missing class much...

Anyhow, day after that i went to recce workplace, found it and it's quite near lau pa sat/ tanjong pagar/ shenton way/meaning anyone working nearby pls jio me for lunch.

went shopping for formal clothes as well with my dad's hard earned gift vouchers. wheeeee but didn't manage to blow it all on some penguin suit. had fun these last days and now feeling abit apprehensive about shifting to a worker drone state. bleah. and also, marcus' commissioning parade is on sunday! congrats asshole! just have to not get kicked out for two more days and he'll be an officer in the SAF!

P.S. i think it's great how blogger allows resizing of pics, but not how it doesn't allow click+shift to maintain proportion. knn.

Yo-yo day
Wheee had an interesting day toda.....yesterday. Kinda didn't sleep the whole night previously because i was hooked on vampire: bloodlines. compelling storyline plus all the history is very interesting, so anyway, went to school feeling very drained, day started off horribly too.

took my ipod, for some reason tested it.....flat. was abit puzzled but not too worried, took my creative mp3 player.... flat. Fuck. went to school in a foul mood and no music feeling neurotic and edgy. >_<>not worried about that acronym because it'll always get mistaken for the stuff that fucks up the ozone) to quit my membership but was told i couldn't because some invisible clause says that i can only quit in April. -_-'

went over to cine's LJS for a bite then, saw a couple of american girls at the table next to mine blatantly casting looks at me. to be fair i was eyeballing them too, but only because one was hot and wore a short skirt. after a couple of minutes one (not the chio one) came over to try to pick me up by asking for a light and acting all "oh how do i use this" so i had to light for her.

i found it highly amusing because they BOTH have lighters on the table and there was a pile of smouldering butts littering the ground around them. oh well too bad i don't like foreign chicks. (stereotyping here) cos' oriental girls nicer! like a flower that takes years to bloom but lasts forever! rather than one that blooms beautifully in one season and then wilts and dies.

Edit: referring to physical beauty here cos' every1 knows i'm superficial! :)
Anyway, moral of the story is.......... carry a jet lighter around even if you don't smoke because it's a chick-magnet. wheeee!

part two of LJS adventure was shortly after they left, alas without exchanging numbers, a couple of jap schoolboys (or girls, can't tell for certain cos' they have girly faces) + a local down n' dirtah guide looking all hip-hop came up and sat at my table. The japanese guys were dressed like typical barker boys, messy tucked-out white shirt, ultra-baggy hiphugger pants, complete with typical funky hairstyles/colors (again, stereotyping here).

so then i was eavesdropping on them...and yes! if u go to japan, hair styles are based on seasons! so....if u go in the summer, get lighter colors an a shorter cut! vice versa for winter. and there's a new fashion magazine in the works called customs! yay! smatterings of conversations i overheard while walking along orchard.....hmm..... interesting topics, ranging from a crow landing on a girl's head to failing driving test 5 times. ahhhhhhhh life.

so anyhow that was my day, started off badass mangled up but turned out alright.....after cine i went home to sleep. and i just woke up and blogged. good morning!

ok yes i bought another pack of cigarettes. not proud of it so i didn't want to like tell people or blog HEY YES I'M SMOKING AGAIN! but since it's already on my blog oh well. i swear i'm going to beat the next asshole* who goes 'tsk tsk you're smoking again' and acts all high-and-mighty. fucking abrasive. (*applies only to guys) i can't even be bothered to say i'm still trying to quit because then some dickwad will go 'yeah right' and i'll just maybe break his knee. so if you're reading this and you know me, don't even mention it, seriously.

anyway, since i'm still miffed i can't really write about anything else sooo i shall just end off here.

day 6 of no smoking and i'm having cravings. but i think most of it is psychological so nvm. don't want to disappoint people (as if they really care), but more importantly don't want to fail myself in matters of self-discipline. beh.

anyway, was reading xiaxue's blog as usual, about the christian thing, and it previously didn't hit me on what a massive increase there was in rants againt over zealous christians forcing their view on people.

oh well. kinda agree, especially with all the purported miracles and faked (to me la) friendliness and sincerity. then when you don't agree they get all bitchy. and then from that blog link until this comic strip, Satan's salvation. quite...retarded. haven't read anything like that for a while so find it amusing. heh.

tutorial today was surprising cos' i kena scolded (by classmate, not lecturer), then tio stun. was initially a bit pissed then realised it was childish so forgot about it. after that went home sleep EIGHT hours straight! from 1 - 9. need to keep proper sleeping hours now... body cycle's totally misaligned...

New year resolutions!
->quit smoking. WEF 1st Jan 2005.
->train harder to reach cummando standard of 9.25 for 2.4km run.
->work hard for attachment and get A
->errr....can't think of anything else.

maybe sleep at more regular hours and get up earlier, don't be late for school, stuff like that.
k blog more when i can think of stuff to write, play game le.

ooyar, with the recent hoo-ha over kazaa and file sharing and all that it is strongly unadvisable to download stuff in the new year, especially music and video files from big record labels and movie studios, because they are the ones most likely to be bo liao enough to track u down.

this is pertinent more so with multimedia from the U ass of a. cos' FTA makes it easier for them to bug local service providers to cooperate. soooooo.... remember in the old days of p2p, first, napster, when they got into trouble, everyone switched to morpheus, then when they were getting screwed, to kazaa.....and now ares. whee. the power of piracy. and porn.
