2012-01-01T19:21:00.003+08:00

Hello everybody!!!
HELLO Low Low low low low low low... ... ~

its been a year since i last posted something.
i must say this blog is getting really dusty, but i dun care :p

i wanted to put up my resolutions for 2012 again here, so tt i can remember, (or maybe perhaps refer to the post online whenever i need to) to fulfill them, another reason being tt just maybe online citizens like U ppl can witness, and maybe, just maybe able to remind me to get back on track again :)
(another off the record reason is becos i wanna do some typing, fingers are getting rusty :s )

let's look at the things i've set for myself in 2010, to be completed in 2011.
(have i achieved them?!?!?!)

1.) "to be a better district leader".

i dun think i have done an excellent job here, giving tt some of my preparation for discussion meetings were quite last minute.
i didn't generate enough vitality into the district :( in fact have to depend on Women Division leaders to generate ideas, kick my butt sometimes. Although I can be really busy with other Kosenrufu commitments that limit my contributions in the district, its definitely NOT an excuse for not doing my utmost. i MUST improve here!

2.) "need to be more serious in life".

i think i improved abit on this, judging from my SD activities. I've been appointed as ITAC CIC in SD, an institution i once regard as the slackest institution in SD.
It is only when i walked the ground, engage in their activities, then i realised just how challenging the ground is. The leaders are really busy (so busy tt the "disengagement" totally pissed me off), fellow CICs are not motivated enough, members just wanted to have fun ONLY, no attempt to strengthening the practice, etc. There is a need for the institution to revolutionise, from top to bottom.

For non gakkai wise, i think i did better here, judging from the amount of time i allocated for socialising with my other friends, who are... ... getting younger by the age :s

3.) "score distinctions in my studies."
i managed to get the same results as my 1st semester at the beginning half of the year, while the 2nd half was atrocious ttvm (to the very max) :(
it is due to my increased commitment in gakkai activities (i took part in Chingay 2012 as a trainer), started working part time in my 2nd half of 2011.
while i'm glad tt my life have expanded, to be able to cope with so much more things than before, results and comments from boss made me realised tt i'm not putting my 200% worth of efforts in all my relevant fields. As a result, its a half past six results for all areas.

4.) "find a GF (as in soulmate)"
NO TIME TO DO TT IN 2011!!!
This point oso includes increasing fb friends to 1000. my friends list now stands around 830, mainly becos of a change in institution and increased in commitment, another reason for the increase can be due to, i added my Chingay participants! lol

5.) "$$$ as usual"
this has become something very annoying... Although i'm working, boss keep holding onto my pay. The worst duration yet is only paying my October pay in December.
!@#$%^&* right?

Enough of 2011!!!
Lets talk about 2012!!!

1.) I want to be more courageous and wiser leader in 2012.

Chapter central figure has hinted me about handing me more responsibilities (i think). While i know its gonna be another type of complicated battleground much needed of vitality (which is good for karma changing and great growth), I'm afraid i must say. I'm not like Sensei, who can turn impossible into possible (with regards to Human Revolution's Osaka Campaign), i cannot produce the much needed results for my district. I think I'm getting arrogant as well :(
What i'm glad now is, nothing is official, nothing is confirmed, nothing is asked, or being asked. I can still improve, i still have time to do my human revolution :)

2.) I want to achieve absolute victory for Chingay 2012!

Its the first time Soka's Student Division and Future Division are collaborating in this thousand participants event. I have 32 awesome participants under me, machiam like platoon sergeant like tt... =__=
but platoon sergeant can scold, this chingay trainer not only cannot scold, must oso set a good example, be ever motivating (not to mention ever encouraging), have to tahan all sort of nonsense from the participants (whether they are legitimate reasons, or just pure laziness and ill-disciplined excuses). be forever patient with them, something tt i dun have. I oso need to watch my temper, i'm like one walking pipe bomb, ready to blow up anytime :s
I will... do my human revolution, and make sure they all win, all 32 of them!!!
:)

3.) I want to expand my life.

I want not only to do more things, but oso increase my quality of doing things. no more half past six, no more 50%, its 200% all the way!

4.) find more $$$ making opportunities

i need $$$ now now now!!!
LoL
(i need a new job btw ;) )

5.) Find GF.

this one no need to explain any further. ppl just refuse to believe tt i'm single, they cannot believe tt i've always been single. WHY!?!?!
but i dun think its of any importance now, given tt i have no time for this, and, being single also not a bad idea afterall, as i dun think i can commit anything now :x

i shall advance!
look for my updates on fb if u're soooooooooooo interested in me.
Otherwise, come back like 6 mths or 1 yr later!

Sayonnara~
^.^

1st post for 2011 (jus another kb session :-x)

2011-02-08T02:09:00.004+08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
this is my 1st post for 2011!!!
how "NICE" :D

its been 2 months since the start of 2011.
its oso the start of my sem 2 in sch...
i have to admit...
there's this type of vicious cycle tt's coming back to haunt me...
i first experience this when i was in MI...

there's this form of politics in class thing back then...
(class room politics)
this has caused much distraction during my A level course days...
dun like this person, go n talk bad about tt person...
kana 挑拨 from this person, and in turn stir alot of shit...
in the end clear up my own shit etc...
all these activities 很伤神的 lor...

somehow i'm experiencing this again, this time at a different battleground...
(now i'm only saying this here becos i dun wan sch ppl around me to noe, but need to 发泄一下)

first i find this particular friend in my OG clique so NOT helpful...
and i'm like... WTF? 帮一下会死吗？！？！？！
i was telling myself...
算了
算了
算了
算了
算了
算了
算了
i shouldn't condemn this fella...
i wanna be nice!

another incident will be from my project group last sem...
this project group was awesome!
they helped me achieved quite high marks for my sem exams...
so i was kinda of grateful :)
but for this sem, we're allowed to choose our own groups.
this particular fella in my group did not say he wanna split up n reform again...
wat he did was to grab every member to his side of the group... ... ... ...
withOUT letting me noe!!!

i mean...
he didn't even have the courtesy to announce to dissolve the group (something tt a PM usually does when elections are due; when new govt need to be formed) and he ownself go one corner and attract all the "talents".
WTF?!?!?!
i was very pissed (for NOT telling me to go form another group myself, while grabbing everyone else away), i must say (and right now i still am)
but i still need to tell myself...
so be it, suck it up... 你是去读书的，不是去结怨的...
so be it, suck it up... 你是去读书的，不是去结怨的...
so be it, suck it up... 你是去读书的，不是去结怨的...

so be it, suck it up... 你是去读书的，不是去结怨的...

with this determination not to make any enemy...
i need to suppress this unhappiness every time i see this fella, so tt there's no need to make another enemy...
i have to say this is F**King challenging...

the next incident happened jus monday after sch...
this time its none of mine business (phew~),
but i kinda overheard it a little :p , so i had a tiny little idea on wat going on...

its about this failed BGR, and how the news kinda spread and involves 3rd parties' relationships with each other...
its so complicated i dun wish to get myself involve in (noting tt knowing more of it is getting myself involved)

i need to stay focus in this course of study...
i need to create victorious reports to encourage my (already quite successful) juniors...
i need to create +ve value this time round...
i need to be unaffected by those impurities, at the same time stay connected with my current bunch of friends...

now THAT, is very tough...

i must win over this...
i must!

in the end of 2010, towards a new beginning

2010-12-30T14:47:00.007+08:00

its 30th December 2010..
2nd last day of 2010...
so here i am, jus like everyone else, commenting on my "achievements", looking back on my resolutions set in the beginning of the year, and making new ones for 2011 :)

so here are some of the things tt i looked forward to at the beginning of 2010:

1.) World Cup 2010
my dearest England Team clashed out of Grp 16 stage :(
how pathetic~
Rooney left his scoring boots in Manchester before he left for South Africa. but we also see the emergence of another "Soccer Superpower", SPAIN...
After winning the Euro 2008, Team Spain went on to be champions of the world in 2010
i'm kinda like looking forward to Euro 2012, World Cup 2014, where all the Soccer Superpowers battle each other (AGAIN) for the most prestigious award of the world's most popular sport :)

2.) Youth Olympics 2010
i'm SOOOOO proud to be part of this!
:)
i didn't joined in the performance part...
i joined as an assistant. by doing tt, i managed to speak to lots of ppl from all over the world...
Russians,
Argentinians,
Americans,
Irish,
People from Cuba, Africa, PRChinese,
Brazilians,
Italians,
Frenchmen,
Germans,
Canadians, and quite a few more countries i think ;)
it is all these chit chats i had with all these foreigners tt made it so wonderful, so memorable, and not the committee, nor the event itself.

3.) Soka Youth Musical (SYM)
2010's supposedly the year for youth cultural festival, but HQ decides to make it into a musical.
something which i have no regrets of joining :)
i can still remember the days when i decides to join in, by praying to the Gohonzon that i jus want to be a part of the Musical. although my role given was minimal, jus saying a few lines...
but i've achieved the effect i hoped to impact the scene i was in... that is to bring in the " inhumane and cruel " "aura" into a heart-warming scene.
i can recalled tt i've actually heard hisses and moans from the audience when i entered the scene.
its also the first of the many few scenes that the audience requires tissue paper :D
SYM has allowed me to make new comrades, deepen my understanding for Mentor & Disciple spirit, and Toda Sensei's intention to rebuild The Soka Gakkai.
if given another chance, i will surely be more than gladly to do so :)

apart from these "major happenings" , here are my resolutions in 2010, and whether i've accomplished them or not :)

1.) take flight from ASD and advance! - i think i manage to do tt, but not enough!
i'm still defeated by my own fundamental darkness at times. although it can be considered as a norm, becos we are all humans, where our life condition fluctuates in the 10 worlds, it cannot be an excuse for not winning everything... i must expand my life and win over more challenges in 2011!

2.) Be more serious - a resolution which i think i FAIL
instead of becoming more serious, i think i've gone from bad to worse...
i didn't have the wisdom to know when to joke around, when to be serious.
when its time to joke around, i think i go overboard...
this cannot happen again in 2011!

3.) Get a Class 3 - fail oso
went for TP twice, fail each time...
i need to work harder on tt...
i'll be The Driver for kosenrufu comrades! :)

4.) blog less , fb less - achieved blog less, FAIL in fb less
judging from the amount of entries in 2010, i think i've achieved the blog less part...
as for fb less part... seems impossible at this moment becos ITS TOO ADDICTIVE!!!
but of course i'll work harder on tt... face to face encounter is always nicer and closer to heart compared to "talk" behind the computer.

5.) find a GF - :( :( :( :( :(
i think i need to socialise more :s

6.) Find a job and earn more $$$.
its something which i need to work harder on...
i need a permanent part time job to pay my fees. $$$ issues have always been present in my family... i need to overcome it.

my other resolutions for 2010 includes,

i) getting a course of my choice in SIM
it failed at first, becos i'm unable to obtain a bank loan for the study fees, although this problem still persist now, i need to score victory in this challenge!

ii) victories in my district, victories in my life
HQ's plan is to achieve a 50% increase in Zadankai attendance in 2010.
before tt, my district's attendance hovers around 20+ , with the highest in feb, 25...
hence, we planned achieve something more, we mark up our target up to 100% increase, which targeted at 50.
(to have a 50% increase will mean the attendance will be at 38, if 25 is being used as the original 100%)
after much struggles with ownself and 4 Division, we managed to achieved 53 attendance at November's Zadankai, something tt we leaders doubt whether we can even achieve in the 1st place...
as long as the 4 division leaders achieve unity, nothing is impossible! :)
for victories in own life, it will be the exam at the end of my semester...
although did not get the results i wanted, i've scored distinctions in 3 of my 4 modules!!!
something which i have NEVER achieve since i was a kid...
was fighting alongside with leaders n members in the district during exam period, and the feeling is jus so shiok no words can express my joy. :)
more victories will come along, rest assured i will find victories :)

ok enought of the PAST...
let me talk about my 2011 plans...

1.) to be a better district leader...
Someone who can not only contribute towards Zadankai, but oso foster youths and get them ready for 2030, someone who can also spearhead movements within the district. Sensei's vision for world wide Kosenrufu MUST NOT FAIL.
i oso need to be more alert, to be in "HLC" most of the time (if not all the time) so tt i can jus help anyone, anytime, anywhere :)
i must also have lots of victory reports so tt i can share with my successors n juniors in years to come...

2.) need to be more serious in life...
i need to be more serious in my life, need to cut down on lots of lame comments. funny i should remain, jus need to ... ... ... be more mature bah (tts the only word i can think of)
i oso need to listen with my heart, not my ears...
oso need to speak from the heart n brain, not from my A**.

3.) score distinctions again in my studies...
the feeling of scoring 'A' s jus feels so shiok :)
oso need to fulfill the saying of a youth must win in "all aspects of life"
Gambatte!!!

4.) find a GF (as in soulmate)
made quite a few new friends in 2010...
need to enlarge my social circle as well in 2011...
erm...
aiming towards 1000 friends on fb?
lol

5.) $$$ as usual...
its my family karma for not earning enough to spend for necessities (education, utilities, food, transport) ...
i need to overcome this karma, which is so deep tt it haunts almost every generation of my family clan.
i oso need to win over sch fees issue, which is the case i'm still challenging now...

i shall advance!
pls wait for my victory report :)
hwaiting!!!

New Post

2010-09-06T21:52:00.003+08:00

NEW POST!!!
After yet another few months plus...
i finally plucked up the courage to pen down ONE entry, which is this entry :D

All's been well...
I started school...
been really busy with Soka activities...
becos...
there's so many things to do, so little time :s

i will continue to blog less...
becos all the updates will be on FB
:D

other the most recent SYM gathering...

hasn't been into much gathering really...
becos whenever i wanna organise, no one's interested...
then when there's finally a meet up...
ppl will say...
"wa tk very long never see u already leh... "
well...
when i organise, no one interested,
then when ppl organise watever ,meet ups, they dun call me along...
somemore its not the first time they doing tt...
i'm sick n tired of asking them : " wa... why got these gathering all bo jio?"

FINE!!!

dun meet dun meet lor...

the next person who say the "wa, very long never see u liao leh..."
i'll shoot them straight in the face with wat i said earlier on...

anyway...

the reason why i write an entry here is becos somethings are jus too shy to write on FB
:D

i switched on my old phone yesterday...
i realiseed tt i've left lots of photos there...
especially the photos i've taken while i'm in Taiwan for the first time...
but i'm jus too lazy to upload them on fb...

then when i went to the SMS section...
i saw some of the smses between " U " n me...
they're jus sweet memories huh...

those were the days when we talked everything under the sun...
those were the days where other ppl have been speculating "are we together?"
those were the days when we smsed more than we talk face to face...
those were the days when i like " U " alot alot
well...
those were the days...

the smses left on the phone still tasted so sweet...
i think other ppl who read those smses may think we're together...

a recent chat with " U " 's been great...
" U " 're doing jus fine...
i'm glad to noe tt...

" U " maybe too busy to online nowadays...
" U " may have jus too many things to do n remember tt there's such blog u so used to visit last time...

let this be it...

很久没有遇到麻烦了
当了好几个月的快乐神仙，无余无虑...

现在问题出现了，
好难振作起来leh...

加油杰！
你是被一年十个月所训练出来，必须为国家下地狱逛街的空降部队，
你是在上一辈子答应释尊要来到这末法时代创造价值的法华经行者，
你是一个誓言要做恩师最了不起的弟子，

你不会倒下，
你不可以倒下，
你不能倒下

眼前的这座山只是你进入地狱的开始，
如果现在就倒下，怎样去生擒那第六天魔呢？
作天永远是比较简单的一天
(the only easy day was... yesterday)

只有你自己心中的战神才能打败你心中的“无明”

加油！
勇猛精进！！！

what i've done...

tk 版本的《她和他的故事》

2010-01-25T17:18:00.012+08:00

《她和他的故事》

要过年了，大家都开始大扫除了，为了在新的一年到来之前，把所有的霉运扫掉。
然而在整理一个旧橱柜时，掉出了一张照片，他捡起来一看，原来是他和她的和照。
这张照片，让他回想起了往事。

读书时期，他认识了她。
不知道到底喜欢她哪一点，
但就是非常喜欢她。

他们平时在学校不多话，什么事情都是在放学后才讲的，
而且不是用嘴巴说，是为互相传简讯的方法说话。
他就是有一个坏习惯，就是会等别人回复那简讯，
而她也有一个坏习惯，就是会忘记回复简讯。
所以他时常等她的简讯回复“等到花儿也谢了”

他们无所不谈，天上有地下无的都有。
他从那些简讯可以看的出她所喜欢的东西。
有好几次他好想把他的感觉告诉她，但因为某某英素，就是说不出口。

他决定让她天天开心，
做她最好的朋友，
在她最需要人帮助时帮她，
在她最需要守护时出现。
这样就够了。

在他的生日时，她和她的几个朋友送了他一只手表。
这只手表非常特别。他非常喜欢，即使他自己的手都戴不下，但他总是把那只手表带在身边，
因为这只手表是 “她” （们）送的。

他知道他们毕业一定会分开，
所以想争取多一点他们在一起的时间。
她也告诉他，虽然一定会分开，　但不是一夜之间的事，
也不会消失到无影无中的。

有好几次很想和她单独约会，
可是她总是没空。要不然就是在朋友们的聚会前，总是突然有事情，不能出席。

有一次他想约她去看烟火会，也知道她会很没有空，所以早在一个月前就约好她了。
起初她还说ok...
但后来随着日期越来越近时，
她就说她突然有事，没办法去了。
这是他意料中的，所以没什么在意。
他就把烟火会的烟火都拍了下来，然后送给她看，
既然他不能把她带去看烟火，那就把烟火带去看她。
希望她看了会很开心。

她看了烟火后，果然非常开心。
他看见她的笑容时，心里就知道，他那么做，是值得的。

她的反应是：“哇！太好看了，早知道跟你一起去看！”

好一句 “早知道跟你一起去看！”
他听了就有如从在天堂，在一瞬间被打下地狱一样。
她不是有很重要的事要办吗？
如果是重要的事情可以选着的吗？
他的心就有如被万箭射过了一样，非常非常难受。
“心痛” 和 “心碎”这两个词已经无法用来形容他当时的心情了。

原来他们的“无所不谈”是因为都不把对方的“好感” 和“不好感”说出来，没话题中的大话题。
原来她其实是介意他在她生命里的存在。
原来到了最后他还是被骗了。

从此，他决定不再守候着她了，因为他觉得她因为他的存在而不开心，
他决定离开了她的世界，因为他要她开心。

随着时间的过去，大家都毕业了，
也开始自己另一个阶段的生活，
他好不容易才忘了那伤心事。
他在看偶像剧是，看到女主角离开了深爱她的男主角是中觉得那种悲伤非常熟悉。

看了那张掉出来的照片，那些回忆也就像《最长的电影》一样，放映了...

这就是 tk 版本的《她和他的故事》

hope u guys like it...

the very special day~

2010-01-11T01:25:00.002+08:00

11th of january...
its a very special day for me...
its the day i enlisted into National Service 2 years ago...
its after this date tt i will say changes me forever...
when other ppl told me NS will really change u, i dun really believe...
but after thinking back wat i went through over the years...
i believe, it has changed me into someone else...

u see...
a smooth sea will never produce an excellent sailor...
i must say the army made me a better person, and the worse of course...
better in a case i can tahan more hardships, i started to advance courageously onto grounds/areas which i have never tried before...
i'm more guttsy :D it sure takes more than courage to jus jump out of airplane, not once...
but 5 times!!! hahaha...

as for the bad side...
well...
i started to see clearly the many faces of ppl in amry...
those who blamed everyone else rather than himself when there's a problem surfaced,
those who wayang so much tt they only work when their superiors are around, but selfishly refuse to help when superiors are not around by making themselves scarce as well...
i've oso learnt a few tricks as well... :D jus in case next time i need to use...
vulgarity vocab bank oso increased...
i dun jus F**k ppl around,
i started scolding ppl's father n mother...
learnt "FUBAR" from my CSM, who learnt from the US marine,
it means "F**ked Up Beyond All Recognition" (tt means total gone case la)

10th was a sad day for some (or rather one)...
hearts were broken,
"christmas" ended off early,
early arrival of thunderstorm,
guess bad things doesn't comes in pairs, it comes by dozens...

mom n sis are in taiwan from 6th jan to 12 jan
during this time sharing the whole house with my dad, >.<
who wanted to be treated like a king, but doesn't have income of a king .

chey!

say somemore i will get angry one...

gtg

:)

HAPPY 2010!!!!!

Wat a way to start the year with :)
2009 was... ... ... ... both good and bad i guess
2009 was the year all my Dragon friends' important year.
becos they turned 21.
i didn't managed to attend alot of their birthday parties as... i'm busy with NS.
2009 was the year with lots of sadness and happiness... ... ...
not too long ago during christmas...
i had a mini gathering with my secondary sch friends whom i have not seen for 2 years (at least) meeting them made my christmas night so wonderful i think i can still smile in my sleep now haha

however tt day, when logged onto Fb, i saw something on it which end my christmas early...
the very next moment, i thought i heard glass shattered...

PIANG!!!!!!!!!

我的玻璃心碎了！
one of my eye candy changed status already...
not tt i have a crush on my eye candy (we're jus normal friend)
her change in status makes me wonder, yes wonder only...
why the person she like is not me, why we cannot be better friends than we currently are?
(yes its abit sad, this is how the broken heart on my MSN messenger came about)
but now it doesn't hurt anymore, i congratulate the couple :)
she'll still be my eye candy :D

as for the happy part, well, guess its the 10th on every month, where i collect my NS pay :D
its money money money...

enough of 2009, lets talk about 2010...

something to look forward to in 2010...
firstly as a soccer fan...

WORLD CUP YEAR!!!!!!!!
glad tt Team England made it for the challenge, i was VERY disappointed when they failed to qualified for Euro 2008.
but now they made it to the top 32 qualifying stage, all the best Team England,u all better make it to AT LEAST a Top 4...

up next is our very own... .... ...

YOG 2010!!!!!!
i've signed up as a volunteer for this event...
lots of preparation is going on behind our back...
i hope i can meet youths from all over the world and make lots of friends :D

another meaningful event which i've been looking forward to since 2005, tt is...

yes... its Soka Youth Musical 2010...
its a 5 years once cultural event organised and hosted by Soka to tell the whole world what is Soka...
it started 10 years ago in singapore in 2000, although other countries started much earlier.
this year will be my 3rd time participating in this event.
in this musical, i played a Japanese Government Official, no singing required for me though, so dun be afraid ur ear drum will break when u go watch the show :D
in 2005 was a cultural item, Bollywood style :D
picture is available in my fb (under the "my friendster photos" album) lazy to upload here...
hehe...

ok now lets talk about my resolutions for 2010...

1.) 2010 is the year i will graduate from ASD, the student division body i'm in the moment i decided to stick with Millennia Institute. 2010 is the year i take off and fly to face all adversaries. all the training i received throughout my stay will determine whether i make or break. 2010 is going to be tough, but there's a saying "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!" no doubt i will face alot of challenges, but rest assured, i will win everyone of the problems head on.

2.) 2010 is the year i wanted to make a change. after the christmas glass shattering experience, i've decided... No more "Mr lame Shit", its time for me to grow up! time for me to say logical things and stop talking nonsense. BE SERIOUS TK!

3.)2010 is the year i MUST obtain a Class 3, something which i failed to do so in 2009. as 2010 is my take off year, all my soka activities will be all over the island, some even going to happen at different places at the same time. hence there's a need for me to drive. i'm oso sick of the public transport, bus arriving at wrong timing, MRTs are always sardine packed, taxis forever are no where to be seen when u need them most, whenever teh meter jumped, my wallet hurts etc...

4.) 2010 is the year i continue to blog less, and challenge myself to fb less too. yes, some of u may noe tt i seem to be on fb every moment, in 2010 this will change (i hope).
no doubt these technological advancements in media has made the world smaller, it has increased the distance between mankind without us knowing it. we could be seeing each other every day, but we won't be talking, but smsing, go online to msn n chat, fbing etc...
have we forgotten about our gift as human beings?
the gift of human interaction?
the power & beauty of language?
a face to face, heart to heart dialogue with ur friends can NEVER be replaced by smses like
"lol"
"haha"
"k"
":)"
":("
becos all these symbols are unable to transmit the warmth, sincerity, care and love as it can only be felt by our heart and consciousness.
a simple ":)" can have many other meanings other than smile. he/she can be troubled but doesn't wanna let u noe, u won't noe it on the other side of the computer.
BUT when u have a face to face, heart to heart dialogue with ur friend, all the "i'm troubled", "i'm not happy" symtoms are written all over the face, and body language, and some so "visible" only ur heart noes...
with all these, i decided to tone down on these technological mediums that is creating a barrier between my friends and me :)

5.) 2010 is the year i'll continue to find a gf haha...
this will go on until i'm convinced tt i need a foreign bride, which is by 2016.

6.) 2010 is the year i will need to work more for money. becos i've decided to finance my own studies. $$$ won't be dropping from the sky, so need to work already.

i'm determined to resolute these 6 goals in 2010!

Happy new year to all again :D

My 1st interview with HR

2009-12-24T00:10:00.003+08:00

i was on a "blogging fast",
thinking tt i will try NOT to blog for about one month to see if i can relly make it...
(since i can't stop using fb)
a BIG thank u to those who have been popping by this website all these while to see if there's any happening over here...
(this BIG thank u goes to wee yong, shirley and hong ru for popping by)

but after watever happened today (as in 23rd december)
i've decided to break my "blogging fast" and tell the whole world about wat i went through today...

it was a cloudy afternoon, as i'm determined to find a job, i decided to go for one of the job interview tts been arranged earlier, by this HR personnal Patricia at this company whose name i cannot identify...

she's been really nice(not to mention good looking :D), her hand shake was firm (i was told tt a firm hand shake symbolises sincerity), i felt comfortable talking/asking questions regarding to the interview with her...

i thought its going to be her who is going to interview me...
then comes a lady in black into the room, or should i call her BIB (Bitch In Black)

her eyes are so cold... the way she looked at me while reciting to me (yes its tt bad) the job scope which i interviewed for is VERY uncomfortable.

her hand shake is not firm at all (knn!!! >:( )

she oso asked some questions which i dunno how to answer (i.e wats ur strength and weakness?)
i have to admit though, i wasn't prepared to answer this kind of questions. so i guessed i screw this 1st job interview by a HR executive from a corporate world BIG time.
so during the interview...
i wasn't overwhelmed by this weirdo...
but i kana owned jia lat jia lat by her...

i wasn't really upset over this screw up interview...
afterall...
this is my 1st PROPER interview with the HR department of a particular "corporate world" company ... my second interview will be better than this :)

but somehow...
i felt defeated...
it felt something like disappointment, but something more...
i dunno which english word is used to describe tt (since my english have become a smaller Pte Ltd after army)

other than tt...
i oso started pondering...
why do i have to learn things the hard way?
i.e why do i have to take exams 2 times in order to pass it?

我是不是那种不见棺材不留泪的家伙吗?

am i those who's "once beaten twice shy" tt kind?

can i, in any chance clear/pass something in one go/one attempt?

haiz...

well well...
gtg...
got to go write letter to my mentor liao...
wen qing gave me a final deadline by 24th 2350hr...

bye to u all...
merry christmas and a happy new year!
:D

before i go...
pls visit Korea someday...
this MV sure looks nice to me :)
enjoy :D

(ps: i was refering to both SNSD and all the Korea places ok~)

2009-11-30T21:47:00.002+08:00

today is 30th of November...

its my brother's 20th birthday...

happy birthday bro!

since i haven't been doing anything recently...

i've been watching taiwanese dramas...

one of them is KO3anguo （终级三国）

this show i've been watching for a very long time...

becos its jus so funny...

the story started in KO1

followed by KO2

the popularity decreases as it approaches KO3

becos"Fei Lun Hai" is no longer part of the main cast team...

but nevertheless...

i'm still enjoying the show...

this story is roughly as this...

After getting kicked out from their 24th school for starting fights and couldn’t find another school that would accept them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought it’s a God send that Liu Bei proposed to be their sworn brothers so they could enroll into the prestigious Dong Han Shu Yuan, a school exclusively for royalty, on the condition that they pay for his tuition. Though they enrolled, it didn’t mean they attended the class in peace because they must survive the school’s death traps and hostile invasion from warring schools.After getting kicked out from their 24th school for starting fights and couldn’t find another school that would accept them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought it’s a God send that Liu Bei proposed to be their sworn brothers so they could enroll into the prestigious Dong Han Shu Yuan, a school exclusively for royalty, on the condition that they pay for his tuition. Though they enrolled, it didn’t mean they attended the class in peace because they must survive the school’s death traps and hostile invasion from warring schools.

the next show i have been watching is Autumn's Concerto...

i dun really noe how to describe this show but...

its nice :D

the story goes roughly like this...

Ren Guang Xi, a cocky law student, seems to lead the perfect life. He’s the sole successor to a huge and famous business and a talented ice hockey player. But in reality, his lonely life lacks joy, laughter and motivation. That is until he meets Liang Mu Chen, the new bento seller at his school canteen. Although orphaned at a young age, Mu Chen does not let her past affect her and lives life with great passion and determination. A harmless bet brings the two together and Guang Xi slowly changes as Mu Chen teaches him how to give and love. Tragedy strikes when Guang Xi suddenly has to go through a major brain surgery which causes him to lose his memory. His mother begs Mu Chen to leave him and the latter has no choice but to do so. Little does she know that she already has Guang Xi’s child.
Six years pass. Mu Chen lives a quiet life with her young son in the countryside while Guang Xi is now a successful lawyer and is engaged to He Yi Qian, the kind and beautiful doctor who took care of him after his surgery. A strangely familiar piano piece stirs Guang Xi’s heart as he struggles to recall his past romance with Mu Chen. How will the couple make up for six years of lost time? Happiness, which stop will I alight at?

nice right? :D

well...

i'll be away to Malaysia from 3rd of december to 6th of december...

but certainly...
i can understand love better with this pic
:D

before i go...
here's something else for u...

tk's riddle of the day : " Wat is the longest English word u can find? "
answer will reveal @ the next entry
:)

handphone i like...

2009-11-14T00:21:00.001+08:00

time to upgrade my hp...
there's a few models (as in phones) which i kinda like tt introduce o the market...

the first one which i saw on thursday's "Digital Life"
its one of the latest model from LG
its the LG GD910 watch phone

the phone is int he watch...
making the phone look like some spy gadget...
cool right...
:D
ya~
the price oso very cool...
according to Digital Life...
the price is very auspicious... $1688
(一路发发）

so...
eitehr i get a sugar mommy (ya right) to sponsor me one...
or...
i have to get it in my dreams...
hahaha...

the next phone...
is to support idols' call to get one...
something like years ago...
when i wanted to change my phone...
i decided to follow Jay Chou...
panasonic used Jay Chou to launch Panasonic X70 at tt time...
so i bought it right away...
without plan or anything...
it cost me $945...
now come to think of tt...
its very scary...

will i do it again?
well...
maybe yes, maybe no...
the phone is...
yes its LG again...
this time...
its from SNSD's chocolate phone... (lol)

this is SNSD's Soo Young...
well...
the phone looks ok to me...
but Soo Young is very very very very pretty (hahaha)
function shouldn't be tt bad too...

i dun really noe the price...
but i think its going to be expensive as well...
and i dun think i saw it anywhere in Singapore (have i ?)
oh well...

the next phone is the hottest phone in town right now...

yes...

its the iphone!!!!!!

the really good news is...
now tt starhub has gotten the rights to sell iphone...
i dun need to change service provider liao :D
the better news is...
only singtel need to pay a certain amount of revenue to Apple, so it means the iphone starhub is selling will be much cheaper :) (i hope)
the sad thing is...
my current plan only ends in august 2010...
which means i need to wait long long :s

oh well...
happy waiting ba...
time for movie marathon :D
gtg

hmmmz...

2009-11-12T12:46:00.004+08:00

so tts it...
its past 10th November...

i ORDed!!!

i won't miss tt place very much...
consider tt it took alot of my freedom away...

now tt i'm free...
a whole new beginning has arrived...
my mom's been asking me to get a job...
which...
i'm taking my time to find...

well...
show u guys some pictures now...

the picture i'm going to show is a pic of a stiletto...
its the "knife" on the commando logo...
its different from normal bayonets...
firstly...
it cannot be fixed onto a rifle, like wat normal bayonet does...
secondly...
the way bayonet kills is through thrusting...
while the stiletto kills...
by thrusting...
and cutting...
tt means the sides of the stiletto are sharper... compared to those bayonets...
so here it is...
the stiletto i bought (its licensed btw)

my photography skill really sucks...
so can only take these 2 ok ones...

the whole box, plus the stiletto cost me $125 :s...
but i think its worth it...
considered tt this has not been issued out anymore...
by right, the stiletto was given (yes for FREE) the same time the red beret was given...
but over the years, there's all the black sheeps, who take the stiletto and rob ppl, taxi drivers etc...
so the army doesn't give out the stiletto anymore...

well...
gtg

time passes real fast...

2009-11-07T21:26:00.003+08:00

in jus 3 days...
i'm gonna ORD from NS
:)
how wonderful tt feeling is...

well...
actually i kinda ORDed technically...
tt will be on the 30th October 2009...
when my batch had the ORD parade in no.1 (yes ceremonial no.1 uniform again for the last time)
and we march down the parade square...
boy...
how proud i feel...

i won't feel sad after i ORDed, becos it sure brings more pain than joy in this 1 year and 10 months...
the only sad part i will feel is... the disappearance of my monthly 800 bucks pay...
tts the highest pay i've received so far for the past 23 years...

oh well...
dun talk about it liao...
anyway...
the photos i took are on facebook, so u can go take a look...

i came across a video on youtube.com which shows airborne troopers jumping out of the airplane...

here it is...

this...
used to be my ricebowl...
even though every jump is always a scary jump...
but totally enjoyed the jump...
i won't be jumping out of the plane again...
as... the jumping slot aren't enough for NSmen to cater to...
tkae a look at those opened parachute after the guys jumped out...
its so beautiful tt we called them "flowers in teh skies"
guess tze kiat heard airborne is such a cool course he's gonna apply for the course...
this...
is what he's gonna go through...
after he left the aircraft...

:)

but for now...
i can happily shout out...

ORD LOH!!!!!

我感冒了！

2009-10-26T01:07:00.003+08:00

this is my 200th entry since 1st April... 2007 i think...
:D

我感冒了
不是普通的病，而是一种连 Tamiflu 都治不好的感冒
因为这两年来吹的韩风，让我也有了这个“韩流疯” ：D

那我感染了哪种韩流病呢？

是 SNSD (So Nyuh Shi Dae)，少女时代！

她们可是一群超正，超辣的女生团体la...

对了
就是她们！
they are... (from left to right)
Jessica,
TaeYeon (the leader of the group),
HyoYeon (good at dancing, but i dun like her),
Yuri,
SeoHyun,
Yoona (whether long hair or short hair oso pretty lol),
SooYoung (this one i like :X),
Sunny (cute, but i dun like oso),
and...
Tiffany

shui hor???

hehehe...

not only are they pretty,
they sure sing very well (hence they are not 花瓶）
and not to mention...
they sure know how to dance!
i've watched some of the videos of them dancing...

but this is one which i find it really amazing...

its so amazing tt it took my breath away...
yes i wasn't exaggerating...

(sorry wee yong bro, this entry jus doesn't make ur day huh)

and after looking at such wonderful dance...
of course i will do a little more "research"
i.e...
find more video clips to watch...
find some pics of them...
find their songs to listen...

and...

i found the song "Sorry Sorry" which they sing...
(yes its originated from super junior's)
the version i heard its in Jazz...
which has a whole new feeling compared to Super Junior's R&B/ Hip Hop (or whichever it is, i can't differentiate which is which) version...

here's the "Sorry Sorry" dance, SNSD version ;)

after watching these clips then i realised they are from the same show, its jus been cut into parts in youtube...

but nevertheless...
they're that damn good :)
jus watching those dance can prevent me from dozing off in front of the computer...
hahaha

(to wee yong: yes... i can understand u've enough of SNSD, but since u can't beat it, why not join it :D and if u think tts impossible, then jus leave it as it is hahaha)

虽然我还没到一个走火入魔的境界，但我觉得快要达到无可救药的地步了...
Argghhhhhh hahahaha!

:D

14 more days (exactly 2 weeks left to the ultimate status, ORD)
this is ORD personal CPL (NS) TTK...
signing off :D

I'm back :)

2009-10-11T21:16:00.004+08:00

Yes...
i'm back since saturday...
jus resting at home all these while...
for those who are wondering where have i been...
well...

i went thailand :D

to keep track of the entire trip...
i actually kept a journal on wat i did over there...
pictures were oso taken over there...
some of them are not with me...

so here goes...

21/9 (Day 0 )
before i go to the airport, (which is in the east) i went to Chervons (which is in the west) and attend wee yong's birthday party...
its nice to see lots of ASDians and exASDians over there
enjoy all of their company and laughter even though its so short...
managed to make it to the airport on time after the cutting of the cake.
the flight tt me and the rest of the guys took was Thai Airways...
IT SUXs!
No personnel tv at the back of the seat - _ -
No pretty air stewardess as well - _ -
the whole journey is a very bumpy ride, i wonder why...

22/9 (Day 1)
we managed to reach Sai Yok camp (the camp where SAF troopers accommodate during the whole thailand trip)
its very big
and its looks more like a kampung to me than a military camp, with the CO of the camp look like 村长 and the rest look like villagers... lol
there are Ah guas in camp...
i did a research on Sai Yok itself, and knew there's a "pretty girl" called Jenny over there...
well...
indeed there's a Jenny, BUT "SHE" NOT PRETTY AT ALL!!!
she's ah gua....
one of the ugliest ah gua i ever seen... (Believe me, Changi V's ah gua will look nicer)
this Jenny works in the camp's canteen, selling food.
we were told tt we will find all the ah guas very pretty after we come back from out field...
o.0 !!!
i hope not...
Sai Yok Camp's canteen is the only source of entertainment tt the troopers will have apart from the officers/spec mess
there's a LAN & internet shop over there, (tts why i managed to contact some of my friends through MSN during the thailand trip)
the first canteen break i spent in Sai Yok Camp cost me 520B (around SGD 22) as i buy t shirts, make name tags, go on internet etc...

23/9 (Day 2)
Singaporeans are really something...
its only one night and we managed to choke up almost all the toilet cubicles tt is in our bunks area...
i was jus wondering...
if SAF can afford to contribute money to build better bunks, (the new bunks tt we slept are made of concrete instead of wooden long house) then why can't they contribute a little more on the sewage? get bigger pipes and the problem of choking will solve wad...
basically today is oso another admin day where we draw out equipments, unpack from the container box and pack ready for out field...

24/9 (Day 3)
we were doing the revision on how to operate our essential equipments for out field...
i dun understand somethings...
if the equipment doesn't work, and trainers cannot remedy the problem...
why bring them to out field?
angry me...
the glass door at my bunk is very fragile, one of us accidently kicked the door, and the whole piece jus drop like tt... he's been stitched up and no need to go out field for the rest of the thailand phrase... "lucky" him...

25/9 (Day 4)
today is the day tt we move out of camp for Navex (Navigation Exercise)
the purpose of the navex is to climatise the troopers and to let the troopers familiarise thailand's terrain...
as september is Thailand's moonsoon season, lots of rainfall is expected...
Thailand's terrain is jus as bad as Brunei's...
lots of dirt track,
foot path tt doesn't exist on the map...
on the map may indicates a major road, but on the actual ground looks like a very rundown track...
the rain really demoralise everybody, including me...
so its going to be long walking, heavy load, heavy rain...
how much worse can it gets?
wat have i done to deserve this?
there's this one incident tt i remember...
there's this low lying area...
its supposed to be a dirt path there...
but becos it raining doggies and pussies...
the path turned into a stream! at knee level somemore...
we still need to cross over it... - _ -

26/9 (Day 5)
Its a Saturday...
but i dun feel like the weekend mood...
its jus walking, walking, and more walking...
the rain is erally pissing me off (yes... i'm starting to hate raining days)
i was the slowest guy in the team, and they all need to wait for me to catch up before the team proceeds...
i feel tt the whole navex is more of a punishment session than a climatise session for me...
the MGR (Map Grid Reference) for the checkpoint is given wrongly, around 5 teams were stucked at the same point for more than 3 hours... SMLJ!?!?!?
wat i like about thailand is the the currency value...
its so small (compared to singapore dollar) tt i feel "like a king" over there...
now i noe why thailand's ousted prime minister Thaksin has been "immortalised" by the red shirts...
tml is live firing exercise :)

27/9 (Day 6)
today is jungle lane live firing...
i find it very interesting, becos the realisim is there...
there's no concrete wall or sigificant markings to mark out different lanes...
there's no foxhole, no sand bag...
totally enjoyed the shoot...
totally enjoyed the sound of bullets recoil...
however there's a problem with the training management...
if the live firing can be finished earlier...
then why need to drag till evening?
its sunny day all the way...
but evening it rain again :(
this period's rainfall contributes 90% of the country's annual rainfall...
i bought a super powerful laser pointer around 800B (SGD 30)
i hope its the cheapest around lor...

28/9 (Day 7)
today its more on admin...
preparation for the 7 days out field...
it will be done by "heli insertion" (its a military term to describe travel by a military helicopter)
the heilcopter we're going to use is UN-1H, the predecessor of Super Puma Helicopter,
and its a no door helicopter (o.0 )
i hope its safe...

29/9 (Day 8)
today is out field... :(
the (only) fun part of it will be the heli insertion by RTA (Royal Thai Army)'s UH-1H
my csm told us how opertional these helis are, with the presence of bullet holes...
it sounded like its some kind of flying coffins to us...
well...
it didn't look as bad as it seems...
in fact...
i had a great time sitting on it, admire the scenery around it...

***i so wanted to post pic on this post, but i dunno whether its my internet or my com, it jus take a bloody fucking long time to upload, so i decided not to load any***

well...
after we landed, we need to walk to our place of deployment... which is around 5km away from our LS (landing Site)
but...
we managed to found a "taxi" to fetch us there with the price of 100B (SGD 4) per Singaporean :D
coming to Thailand (out field) requires nothing more but $$$ hahaha...
becos...
we didn't go to find those ninja trucks, they come to find us...
and managed to find us... (even when we're in tactical mood)
the ninja truck really haunt us... the vehicle destroyed the natural vegetation around our site, making it hard for us to find camouflage to blend with the surrounding...
i stress again here tt Thailand out field need alot of money to be happy... i only bought 500B out...
(which i regretted later part of the out field)

30/09 (Day 9)
stupid HQ ppl, didn't program our comms set properly...
now we're on our own, with no contact with the HQ ppl :(
throughout the night, "enemy convoys" are spotted from our positions...
but we cannot send our "discovery" back to inform HQ :(

01/10 (Day 10)
Happy Children Day!!
Not a good day over in the jungle...
it jus keep raining like nobody's business :(
its only day 3 of out field... but i jus can't stand it anymore...
details of the out field is deem classified...
besides...
nothing interesting to tell anyway...
BUT...
i STRESS for the 3rd time...
$$$ can really do wonders here...
the woman "taxi" driver who drove us to our location is offering to help us dig our 2 men trench (at chest level deep) at 1500 B (SGD 63+)

o.0

now i can finally understood the meaning of “有钱能使鬼推磨”

a note to all SAF troops going to Thailand for out field training...
a typical 3 day in the jungle needs around 1000 B (SGD 42+) to feel like king in the jungle :D
HOWEVER...
$$$ cannot buy good weather...
i'm starting to hate raining days >:(

02/10 (Day 11)
Day 4 of out field...
i didn't noe wat happened in the day...
becos i stayed in the trench for like more than 5 hours...
its been the longest i've been so far...
the average time i stayed in the trench back at home is only 2 hours...

03/10 (Day 12)
Day 5 of out field...
its pretty demoralising to hear other teams are getting out of jungle earlier...
one day less of rain,
one day less of mud,
one day less of irritating insects,
one day less of boredom...
during the day its hot, i long for cloudy weather...
during the night when its cold n wet, i long for the sun and warm...
i guess the grass is always greener on the other side...
i realised its mid authum festival only at night when the moon light up the night...
with the ultra (not to mention unusal) 100% moonlight, its hard to fall asleep at night...
becos its so bright...
after tml... i will be out of jungle... :)
38 days to ORD

04/10 (Day 13)
SBDL!!!
i kana screwed by warrent up, down, left, right, centre, front, back...
his concept is quite different from the other instructors...
:(

打球

2009-09-15T21:02:00.002+08:00

我和其他的男生没什么不同，
就是超爱球的
无论是足球，篮球，桌球, 曲棍球，网球，还是羽毛球。
我看只要是圆的，我都喜欢吧！

可是就是有个小问题，
就是，
我只爱看球，玩起来的方面就...
非常差劲...
简直是鸡手鸭脚的
无论是攻还是防，
都是很烂。
所以每次都成为队友们得分的绊脚石。
可是后脸皮的我没关那么多，还是继续玩...

从小爱踢球的我，见到圆的就踢。
一直到有一天，我运球时，踩到球，摔了四脚朝天 (head down first)
头当时痛到周围的朋友都记不起是谁，当时几点到底是几点。
还好那时的失意只是几秒而已。
从那天起，我就不再踢球，最多只是当守门员，
不过别说是守门，我就连洞都守不好：（

长大后身边的朋友都是打篮球的，所以就开始打篮球。
可是就是烂的没话说。
到了励仁后，我遇上了“她” （不是那个非常特别的“她”，也不是那个跑到澳洲读书的“她”，只是那个爱打篮球的“她”）
（请回到故事的重点，不要把注意力放在这段故事的女主角）
有一天，我和“她”组成一队一起打篮球。
结果和踢球的后果一样。
打得超烂，所有队的分数都是“她”投的。
打完球后，可以从“她”的眼神和表情看得出，
“她”很失望...
看到那种表情，我很不好受，因为输球是我害的。
所以从那天起，每当朋友要我和他们打球时，就会想到“她”那失望的表情，让我觉得很对不起队友。

昨天，我大胆的破戒，和“下巴” 他们一起打球。
根本的问题没有解决，我是队友们的绊脚石，还好“下巴”和队友们都很厉害，没有因为我这个绊脚石而输球，不过那个“下巴”很高傲自大，也是超级好胜的，应该是很后悔要我和他一起打球吧。

所以如果你们问为什么那么爱球的我为什么不打/踢球，
那是因为我没有赢球的天分吧。：（（

some very very lucky people

2009-08-20T20:09:00.000+08:00

jus to share some very very lucky people around...
they are so lucky tt some of them escape death :)
(their time is not up yet ba lol)

i wonder if they got go buy 4D after their incident :P

enjoy :)

2009-08-19T21:36:00.000+08:00

如果人生如战场，只有胜利才可以生存的话，
那么，工作场所/环境就是“江湖”了。
无时无刻都要堤防“小李”的暗算。
“小李”们都会随时使出暗器， “小李飞刀” ，望你背后飞去。
“小李”们对你很好的话那更要注意，因为他们会笑里藏刀。
到时，即使是铜墙铁壁也会难逃一死。

工作场所/环境的 politics 也真让人伤脑精，
不能一辈子隔岸观火，总有一天一定会被卷入。
到时“江湖行者” 可真的是 “身不由己” 了。。。

人真的需要这样明争暗斗吗？

Something funny :)

2009-08-16T23:07:00.000+08:00

came across something funny...
hope this brightens up ur day ;)

here it goes...

Fill in the blanks with YES or NO

1.) _____ I dun have brain.

2.) _____ I dun have sense.

3.) _____ I am stupid.

jus emptying my brain's thoughts so tt i can put in new ones...

2009-08-08T18:20:00.000+08:00

i was jus wondering...
how many ppl actually bothered to look at the MSN status (whether u're away, busy, or wat)
when they wanna find contacts in their messenger?

well...
i dun...
as long as u're online, regardless of whether u put ur status as away, on the phone, busy or wat...
i will still drop some msgs to u...
provided tt i wanted to talk to u la...

for me...
my MSN status is in "Busy" like since donkey years ago...
and i like it tt way...
becos whenever ur friends come online, the small small (wat do u call them? window?) pop ups slows my com down...
and it gets really irritating when someone went offline, and come back online again for like... 10 times in 15mins?
whether does he/she did it on purpose, which i dun so (who can be so bo liao anyway?) i dun wan those pop ups to disrupt my online movie screenings :)

btw...
me being in "busy" mood doesn't mean i really busy u noe...
sometimes i'll be playing games, doing all other funny stuff (yes facebooking) under the sun than "busying"
neither am i aFk (away from keyboard) ALL THE TIME simply becos my MSN nick's " HEY, i'll be back in 5 mins, but if i'm not, jus read this msg again"

MSN status doesn't mean u can't talk to ur friend becos he/she's away or wat, but its simply an indication (tt he/she's away from com) when ur msg's not replied for a loooong time...

however i oso met friends who...
wasn't on any status, but it takes...
forever for them to simply reply a "oh hi, wat's up?" back...
> . < |||

oh well...

moving on...

annual ASD connexion 09 is back again...
this year i can attend this gathering again, which was held annually for ASDians who's graduating and welcoming of the yr 1s... all 2 in one under one activity :)
it will be at Sentosa beach (again) whether siloso beach or palawan beach doesn't make much of a difference to me... (u'll jus get sun burnt, sand in ur shoes, bags, pants, and everywhere anyway... :D )

***(To Comrade Shuli, if u're looking at this, i'm still VERY interested to listen to ur graduation speech u did at the previous Connexion ;) ) ***

Ok up next...

tml's Republic Of Singapore's 44th Year of Independence,
as a singaporean,
as a NDP participant,
as an NSF,
as one of the mother's son,

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY SINGAPORE!!!!!
May Singapore continue to prosper till eternity...
May Malaysia continue to kiss our ASS in all fields of development...
(do they feel any remorseful after wat they did 44 years ago?)
and if they (Malaysia) still thinks they did the right thing...
then i've nothing to say about those LOSERS...
i mean... we survived 44 years without them...
we even got better than them...
we'll do it again...
"Count on me Singapore"

i noticed tt there's a few visits to my blog from ang mohs from the other side of the globe from...
Italy,
USA,
Moscow Russia,
UK,
etc...

whether local viewers are using foreign servers, or are they really from those countries...
i jus wanna say...

HI!

This is Singapore, the small little red dot on world map (somewhere at South East Asia :D),
we'll be celebrating our 44th year of independence tml...
jus to get some things straight...
NO, we are NOT part of China (even though its a chinese majority here),
NO, we DUN worship the Merlion,
NO, Singapore is NOT a communist state (simply addressing my friend using "comrade" doesn't indicate tt i'm a communist mind u),
NO, there are NO dictator(s) in Singapore,
NO, i DUNNO any "sensitive information" tt u maybe looking for about Singapore,
NO, Singaporeans are NOT racist, we jus make fun of each other jokingly :)
(tt doesn't mean we dun respect each other)

to Singaporeans who are home away from home...
join in the celebration to national's independence day...
by reciting the national pledge at 8.22pm (Singapore Time) :)
as for me...

time to sign off...
;)

a photo montage of Mrs Kaneko Ikeda,
done by SD
it's been made up of hundreds of happy faces taken after each dialogue...
my IIC (john) took one for me...
but given the stupid face i gave...
i dun think my face is featured in the montage...
but nevertheless this montage is presented to Mrs Ikeda for her birthday (i think)

i "stole" this picture from someone's facebook : X

the next pic will be some pics taken during NDP rehearsal...

i'm tt one with a weird beret one...
no matter how hard i tried, i jus failed to get it right : s
(can find me right?)

my beret here was slightly better the previous one...
but its still LOUSY!!!
>:(
can u spot me?
when the contingent is doing the city march...
leong was sitting by see show...
trying to identify me...
but i was told all of us looked the same...
he couldn't (ha!)

the pic is oso not taken by me...
this girl took all the hearts of the guys present at the parade...
(including me, at some point of time la lol)

she's the red cross contingent commander...
(not tt guy behind)
there's this particular rehearsal she's feeling giddy becos of the afternoon sun...

"hey i (we) noe CPR, i (we) can save her!"
lol

Overcame and Conquered!

2009-07-29T18:53:00.002+08:00

today went for AHM (Army Half Marathon) 's 16km run
it is to clock up mileage before the actual race of 21+ km which will be held on the 16 August.

the whole run was conducted at East Coast Park
i conquered the whole journey around 1hr 39mins (was abit disappointed as i wanted to finish it in 90 mins)
Not only did i conquered the whole 16km (for the 1st time in my life) :)

n guess who i saw?????

guess...

guess...

guess...

guess...

i saw Singapore's most most VIP
His Excellency The President, Mr Nathan :)

not tt he's there to see us run...
he went there to have his own exercise routine together with a bodyguard :)
he's one healthy president huh :)

with all these training for AHM,
i somehow got an urge of signing up for the "ultimate" marathon
the annual Standard Chartered Marathon (its 42.195km)

should i join?

time really flies...

2009-07-10T22:20:00.002+08:00

its july already...
time really flies like nobody's business...
there's jus so many things to do but so little time to tap on...
god damn shit!

with regards to the previous entry on NDU stiring shit on us...
the saga "ends" when one of the NDU guys came over to one of us during thursday's rehearsal and apologise for the guy who said " i think the commandos need to take off their red beret so tt they can think better..."

however, its not the same person who apologises, its one of his buddies...
wat a piece shit...
tt fella is NDU's "Johnson Lo"
dun worry Johnson... now the whole battalion knows who u are...

anyway to move on..
its july...
as of today i'm 123 days away from ORD
123 days away from "zero income"
i was wondering wat am i going to do with it...
its july...

as quite a few of them are on saturdays...
and saturday...
i need to go for NDP rehearsal...
>.<
unless i go take MC (opps... later kana caught i chao keng)

lots of good movies have came out...
i heard transformer 2 was good (but i haven watched it :( )
all my bunk mates are talking about it...
the graphics...
how everybody wanna be optimus prime (1 vs 3)
how everyone wishes their GF(s) is as hot as Megan Fox etc...
they oso stress on the part where Megan Fox shows her underwear...
（片子）真的有哪么好看吗？

iphone 3GS (i wonder wat tt "S" stands for?) is out!!!
i always wanted to get one new (not to mention cool) gadget during my army times...
but...
its only exclusive to Singtel :(

WHY WHY WHY???????

When can starhub finalise the iphone deal?

and i'm jus one of those victims, consumer wanna be with robbed consumer welfare :(

Ha! watever...

Kana Stir by NDU

2009-07-07T19:55:00.003+08:00

the video below shows wat we do at NDP rehearsals all these saturdays (before we move over to floating platform)

and it jus happen to be the chance tt Mr Brown interview with all the GOHs...
and...
NDU (Naval Diving Unit) stir us!!!
after the video is being linked to facebook...
the whole commando battalion noes about it...
and i believe all the comments made for the video are from us...

NDU (Naval Diving Unit) may not sound common compared to commandos
but they are...
one of the special ones... in water...
their motto says "Nothing Stands In Our Way"
Who can stand in water anyway???

here's the video...

u can view the comments at the
youtube
site

My burnt weekends...

2009-06-28T18:34:00.005+08:00

there's a reason why i say my weekends are fire hazardous...
they burn for no whatsoever reasons...
and they burn like nobody's business...

here's a sneak preview of i've been doing during my burnt out saturdays :)

featuring 1st Commando Battalion...
Army Guard of Honour Contingent for National Day Parade 2009
Best Combat Unit for the 23rd time and counting...

oso featuring...
me in "handsome suit" (lol)

i jus came back from toilet...
so my specs were on...
but i took it off during the parade...
lawrence liau is the guy in civilian clothing...
he's one of us, but he has the burning passion of photography...
hence our company's "official" photographer (n he doesn't mind at all)
he uploaded the pictures onto facebook.
more pictures on facebook (go check it out urself)

the photo is oso an evidence tt i'm indeed a commando by vocation (for now), no bullshitting...

unlike "Willie Oh" who kana posted out to other units since late September2008 but still claimed he's one of us...
(yes, u're one of us, spiritually, NOT physically)
he bullshit to juniors from unit by using wat we've been through as his story, saying how shagged he is, how he completed all these...

hey Willie Oh!
u NEVER attend airborne course,
(so dun tell other ppl u did)
u NEVER walked 72 km route march with us,
(so dun tell other ppl u did)
u NEVER went for ATEC with us...
(so dun tell other ppl u did)
STOP bullshitting in front of other ppl,
STOP showing red beret to siam all the sai kang and escape punishment,
STOP telling other ppl tt u are attached out from us...
(becos u've already been posted out)
the whole battalion knows about this and they are all F**king pissed with u...

想到就气！

Writing Something...

2009-06-12T19:22:00.002+08:00

hmmmz...

NDP rehearsals, (yes, i so short oso need to march for the parade) on saturdays...

n...

i've got extras to clear on sundays :S

i've missed out lots n lots of gakkai activities...
the SD run last sunday i didn't attend (becos i'm clearing extras)
i was one of the group's trainer and i could not make it... this is so shit!
tml's meeting i can't attend as well, (becos i've got NDP rehearsals)
all these staying ins and confinements sure save me lots of money...

i only get to come out today (and going back soon )
today happens to be the PC Fair 2009 too...

went to the PC fair today...

when i'm there...
its ppl mountain ppl sea...
its not like there's free gifts to be given over there...
so why is everyone there?

i was jus wondering...
i think i've been "in prison" for very long liao
haven't meet weirdos for a long time...
today is the day where i met all the weirdos at Suntec...
guess this hendon tortise sure is very outdated...

before i go for the fair i made a so called shopping list...
a dvd/ blueray reader
a new mouse
a better RAM
a NEW set of Speakers
an external hard disk

in the end...
i only got...
the new set of speakers... (from Creative, its $59)
a new mouse (only $9.90 :D )
and...
something not on the list...
a new set ear phones...

comments for this PC fair...
its not a good fair...
there are no big discounts...
(they only give lots of freebies... conditions apply though)

kinda regretted buying some of the things...
but i must tell myself...

“好马不吃回头草！”

wat is done is already done and cannot be undone...
so make the best out of it...

hmmmz...
this entry doesn't seem to have a decent ending...
becos i gtg...

its NDP rehearsal again tml...
and the same old shit jus keep repeating itself next week...
> . <

lets keep track...

2009-05-25T15:29:00.002+08:00

well...
lets have an update on wat i've planned to achieve at the starting of 2009,
and how much i've completed them...
its around 6 months already...
surely i've done something right...

here goes...

1.) wear No. 1 for NDP (well, no. 1 is now in my home, considered it worn?)
(can't march for NDP as i'm too short :( 1.67+m is jus not tall enough :( )

2.) get a japanese gf (not done, no chance to meet any japs :s)

3.) get a driver's license. (not done, haven't got the guts to go apply, scare fail & waste my $$$)

4.) make more new (females) friends (haven't been socialising, but nice to get back in touch with my primary school friends (through facebook though) )

5.) make more $$$ (hmmmz... SAF increase $20 for compulsory insurance scheme, does tt count? haven't been making $$$ (can't moon light la, its chargeable), but i think my savings went up :D )

6.) stop writting this blog... (well... i will be telling a big fat lie with my eyes wide open if i say i've stopped, then wat am i doing now?)

7.) get a new wallet... (can't find any likeable ones, likeable ones are over $150 do.Ob )

8.) get a new watch (haven start looking for it...)

well well...
around 6 months has passed, but not much progress is being done...
wat have i been doing?

for the gakkai resolutions...
well...
no need to look back...
i didn't do anything...
so there's nothing to look back...
but plenty to look forward to...
haven been doing human revolution oso...
Sensei warned against those leaders who are like fleas tt feeds on the lion's flesh...
i think i'm one of those fleas...
i seriously need to change...

ORD in 169 days...

the oldies

2009-05-23T17:06:00.002+08:00

怀念一下老歌

鄧麗君的《你怎么说》

我没忘记你忘记我
连名字你都说错
证明你一切都是在骗我
看今天你怎么说

你说过两天来看我
一等就是一年多
三百六十五个日子不好过
你心里根本没有我
把我的爱情还给我

sometimes its really "shiok" to listen to oldies...
like this song, 《你怎么说》
hope u enjoy :)

throughout my life, i've met lots of teachers...
or rather lots of ppl to teach me various things...
so far...
3 of my teachers have died for various reasons...
1st was my primary 1's english teacher,
2nd would be my secondary school's physics teacher,
the 3rd one...
well...
he's not really my teacher...
he's not tt close to me either...
but he's someone who somewhat imparted a skill to me...
can't say who is he here...
but...
all i can say is...
he's tt one military personnel who died recently...
my condolences to his family...

speaking of death reminds me of a chinese poem by 文天祥
part of it goes...

人身自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青

the rough translation i'm able give will be (not tt i'm good in chinese literature)...
"everyone will die one day, its jus how u want to die (die as a patriot for the sake of the country, or die as a traitor of the state) "
my point is...
if everyone is to die one day,
then die doing something great...

gtg

until then...

战神与恶魔论

2009-05-16T22:05:00.003+08:00

<<战神与恶魔论>>

每个人的生命里都会有一个战神和一个恶魔。

我们生命中的战神就有，勇气，智慧，慈悲，希望，意志力，正义感等。
而生命中的恶魔就有，惰性，高傲，懦弱，妒嫉心等。

战神与恶魔的战斗每天都在发生，就是从我们一早睡醒的那一刻开始，一直打到我们闭上双眼睡觉才暂停，然后明天再来打。

战神的特色往往都是要战胜恶魔，在人生的道路上披兢崭剂，永不放弃，突破自己的极限，一直到死为止。
而恶魔的特色往往都是阻碍我们的幸福，遇到战神的攻击时，往往会变出比战神强的恶魔来迎战，
道高一尺，魔高一丈。(所以为什么我们遇到困难时都会觉得很难克服一样）

战神的状态可以决定那个人的命运，是否能够常胜快乐，还是兵败如山倒，每天愁眉不展。
朋友X(take note, army friends are not "friends") 有问过我：“ＴＫ，为什么你好象重来都没有问题的？每次见到你都是嬉皮笑脸的？”
（虽然有时我也会在友人面前大吐苦水：X ）

well...

不是没问题，而是用微笑来迎接问题（face every problem with a smile)
不是没问题，而是选择把它不当问题（也可以说是用逃避问题来形容吧）
不是没问题，而是把大问题看小了。（也可以说是我轻敌了）
不是没问题，只是我没把它说出来而已。 (well... sometimes ba)

我生命中的战神不是那么厉害的，其实它常常都在战争时听到撤退的号角声，所以没把恶魔打败，
要花好一段时间才能取得胜利。
我们的生命所需要的是一个只会听到前近的战鼓声，勇往直前的无敌战神，
在人生的道路上，只需成功，不许失败。

希望大家的战神都是常胜将军：）

some little updates (plus whining ha!)

2009-05-10T16:25:00.002+08:00

the feeling to be able to book out of camp to enjoy the freedom sure is happy for me...
becos it really sucks to stay in camp over the public holiday, and weekends...

while i was staying in camp last week...
many things happened at the outside world...
the escalation of the swine flu outbreak,
the rise of the alert level to orange,
the cancellation of all SSA activities becos of the pandemic alert,
the AWARE saga at Expo which i think is a joke,
the recapture of MSK :)
and some other minor minor incidents really wanted to get out of camp to check it out...

its not tt the camp is totally bored to the core...
it has swimming pool, which can swim anytime without paying a single cent like other public pools,
the officers' mess which open specially for those stay in camp ppl over the weekend,
playing of "wii" watching movies (for free) etc etc...
it is the freedom that is lacking inside the camp,
and the discipline that have to be observed in the camp...
thinking about tt jus totally turns me off. (and i still have to book in tonight :( )

one thing i'm happy about is the recapture of MSK tt's being announced a few days ago...
while i wasn't involve in the greatest manhunt in Singapore's history,
i'm happy tt this bugger has been caught, simply becos...

imagine this bugger continues to stay outside bars, and getting back to indonesia, homeground of JI cells...
he will return to Singapore one day...
with bombs, (something tt we cannot deny he won't do such a thing)
and the last thing i want to know is to let the whole island's lifestyle to change completely becos of him...
i'm ready to die for the country (ok... its somewhat ready huh)
but i will not allow myself to die in the hands of terrorist activities (die for nothing la)
it will be glad if MSK tt bugger is locked up overseas and not come back toSingapore forever...
or jus make up an accident and get rid of him...
why should we show him humanity when he wanted to take it away from us?
i doubt the detention will be of any usage anymore...
he has evaded capture before (3 times somemore),
he definitely can do it again...
he can go to Guantanamo Bay and stay with his brothers if he wants, but not stay in SG's soil
(then again, i'm not sure if the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison by President Obama is a wise choice.)

well...
anyway...
its hard to find jobs these days...
so wat am i gonna do after i ORD (in 180+ more days)
i mean...
once i ORD,
i got all the time in the world,
i've got no income, ($700 bucks per month during NS is good money for poor spenders like me)
i'm not so sure wat course i want to apply for further studies...
lots of uncertainties...
tsk tsk tsk...

Speaking of NS...
heard rumours tt Syarif, tt freako shit from 05S2 has gotten into SISPEC (School of Infantry Specialists) for army...
how can pple like him get into Sergeant Course?
how can hypocrites like him become a specialist?
he wayang his way during his BMT?
i can't believe this, he'll rank higher than me when he graduated from the School (even though i noe i'm better than him)...
天啊！你是在玩我吗？

May is the month where many uni friends are having exams, or have jus finish their exams and enjoying their long holidays...
to those who have yet to finish the papers, " Gambatte! "
to those who are enjoying their holidays, " enjoy!"

May is oso Mothers day (which is today)
i dunno what am i gonna do to my mother...
headache...

正如 title 一样，
小弟我今天的 topic 是谈到了男女关系。

世界上最了不起的动物就是人类，因为人类的智慧与思维创造出了今日的“文明”社会。

科学家从男人和女人的脑电波发现，
男生的想法大多都是直线的 (i called it barcode thoughts)，
而女生的想法大多都是一粒粒的（i called it bubbled thoughts)
这个重要发现可以让我们知道，大家都不了解对方，因为大家的想法都不一样。

男生是个理性的动物，
而女生是个感性的动物。

现在世界那么乱，
很多人都认为，现在是时候让女生当家了，
也许，让女生当家，世界就不会那么乱了，女生比较温柔，谈起大事是，可能结局就不会打打杀杀了。
但我不完全同意，
我同意现在男生当家，世界真的很乱，
不过，女生当家了，问题真的就能解决了吗？

AWARE （我国一个为女性争取男女平等的组织）的新领导人难产，而整个组织里的内乱已经受到媒体的关注了。
因为 AWARE 的新领导候选人都是女人，不经让我们这些隔岸观火的外人认为，如果只是一个组织的领导人就能争到那么激烈，如果是选国家领导，那不就世界大战了吗？
如果世界只有女生领导，不一定是件好事。因为女生为了达到目的而不折手段比男生的不折手段更狠，更可怕。（最毒妇人心吗）

我觉得，
国家/世界要有男女共同来领导。
因为阴阳原本就是一体的。男女可以取长补短对方的缺点。
毛主席有说过：“女人能捧半边天”　而不是一手遮天　（当然男生也不行）
神雕侠侣里的杨过和小龙女的双剑合屏可说是打遍天下无敌手呀。
可见男女必须肩并肩来统治世界　：）

虽然阴阳向克，
但地球要阴阳才能旋转，才有日夜。
所以大家要高高兴兴的合作在一起，世界就会变得更美好　：D

the MIAKE tradition

2009-04-22T21:33:00.002+08:00

Wat's MIAKE's tradition?

one of them is able to paint colours in MI's life (which is really miserable despite having the paradise lifestyle)

and the other is...
the ability to win GOLD (at least) every SYF!!! :D

Congrats to all MIAKE juniors who participated 2009's SYF...
u guys have uphold the tradition of MIAKE set by our seniors :)

HOWEVER...
my batch is still the best :D
the one and only GOLD (WITH HONOURS) in the roll of MIAKE achievements :D
这可说是前无古人，后无来者...

hahaha...
yes...
i'm being very very cocky :D

i have been thinking...

2009-04-18T01:35:00.002+08:00

i have been thinking...
what will i have to do after i ORD?
should i find a job first while looking for a part time course to study?
or should i look for a full time job and forget about studying?
or should i look for a full time study course and forget about work?

after much considering...
i think out of the 3 options i mentioned aboved...
look for a part time course while looking for a part time job...
this is the more practical choice...
becos in the 21st century Singapore society...
有钱不是万能，
但没钱却万万不能。
face it tk, u need $$$...

so now the second question is here...
wat should i work?
whether if its temporary job the settle fees, or the future job tt bring home the bacon type of job, is seriously giving me the headache...

the first job i look for is the sacred job of teaching...
becos Sensei challenged the intellects of Soka with this question (which i now used it to challenge all my friends)

"For what purpose do we cultivate wisdom? may U always ask yourself this question"

well...
the purpose of we gaining knowledge and learning to use them is to allow us to contribute back to society by imparting knowledge using wisdom to those who do not have a chance to receive proper education...
so...
teaching in rural areas where ppl are too poor to go to school will be an ideal way to fulfill it...

HOWEVER...

in order to be a good teacher...
u need to abe to subdue the worst kind of students ever exist on this face of the earth in order to be considered as a good teacher...

Since Singapore is one of the leading in the field of education,
tt means to say tt the worst students ever exist in this world will come from Singapore as well...
hence...
i need to take down these bunch of terrorists before i can be considered a good teacher...

gosh...

i used to be such a bad student...
purposely got myself punished so tt i can stay outside of the class to complete my homework is one of the stupid things i ever did back in my secondary school...
and now i need to teach?
as a buddhist, i strongly believe in cause and effect, karma (what goes around comes around), retribution etc etc...
which in short means....
i will get really really bad students if i'll become a teacher one day...

tsk tsk tsk...

another alternative job i can find...
or rather my sister ask me to find...
is to become a cabin crew for airlines (like JetStar & other budget airlines)
my reaction to her suggestion...

#$#&$^@*($^$)()#&$)(&_+_+XYZ!@

can't do tt...
NO!

i'm not going to do tt job...
no particular reason...
i jus dun like it...

well...

time to go liao

but if anyone got other job lobang...
pls recommend to me...
will appreciate it :D

at the mean time... here's a photo of me at taiwan's 六合夜市 at its famous papaya milk store...
this store produces the world's best papaya milk ever...
next time u go taiwan's 高雄, be sure to drop by 六合夜市 and taste the papaya milk...
each cost NT$50 (approx SGD $2.00, maybe less)

until then...
:)

tk's quote of the day : "dun do wat u like but like wat u do!"

some loose thoughts of mine~

2009-04-16T23:44:00.003+08:00

well...
after coming back from taiwan, where i spent one month over there, enjoying the cool spring,
i jus can't seem to adapt well back to singapore weather...
u see, the warmest temperature over at taiwan was around 21 degrees celcius.
it is not even near to singapore's coolest temperature...
tt means i had a hard time when i came back...
many of my army buddies felt the same way as me...
feeling as sticky as glue all day long, due to our perspiring...
haha... guess we need to shower more than usual, until we dun sweat so much...

during this gracious 7 days off awarded by my CO for our "outstanding" performance for ATEC
i attended quite a few of soka activities (including those which requires my presence)
and i have to say...
2010 is jus around the corner, and lots of things still needs to be done...
YCF (Youth Culture Festival), an event tt Soka Gakkai holds every 5 years is coming next year...
which means the preparations are already starting...
i was hoping i can play a major role for this upcoming big event...
but i know better than anyone else...
我不是单挑大梁的料...
成事不足，败事有馀 will be quite appropriate to describe me...
tt is why i'm not officers' material during NS :D

speaking of ATEC...
dunno whether have i mentioned here before...
but i personally think tt ATEC is a hell lot of bullshit...
though the system is so realistic, from the simluation of artillery shellings, firepower of anti tank bombs, casualties and dead men... the way of which how the rules were set, the proficiencies of the umpires etc...
to tell u guys the truth, i seriously doubt the credibility of the umpires deciding us...
who are they to tell us wat is right and wat is wrong?
how they noe watever they do is correct?
one of the occassions (this incident did not happen back in ROC, but in SG), whereby my CO deployed his forces at breach in point "A", to destroy this particular objective with some buildings and a watch tower, is being critisized by the umpires during the debrief session...
he claimed tt the breach in point "A" is too open and it can be clearly seen by the watchers on the watch tower. he confidently challenged my CO tt his suggestion of placing the breach in point "B" at another location, which he claimed,will not compromise the men's position...
however, if the watch tower is meant to watch over the objective, it means tt the whole area around the ojective can be seen clearly from the top, any breach in point, regardless of position "A" or "B"will be clearly seen by the watchers, hence compromising all the men...
so why is he suggesting tt?
which is why alot of us are concluding tt they are STUPID, USELESS, AND WE DOUBT THEIR CREDITBILITY!
the way they fight in taiwan kinda piss all of us off...
we were wondering why we need to be evaluated by these bunch of idiots,
where we can be evaluated by someone who are more combat experienced?

haiz... thinking of all these piss me off
so lets not talk about it :D
time really flies...
in 7 months time...
i'll ORD :D
while...
my brother will be enlisting...
hahaha good luck to him...
but he's somewhat luckier (not to mention smarter) than me as he dun wait for MINDEF to post him to which NS he need to serve...
he go look for the NS he wants to serve, which is SPF lol...
while me?
go for the stupid vocational assessment and got myself into lots of sufferings (lol)
在里头吃的苦，谁能了？
i was talking to the ladies during the SD kenshu dialogue session and was telling them about the "brutalities" and all the unreasonable things of which the commanders wanna tekan us, also tell them to watch out for their sons in future becos of all those "funny funny" rules and regulations etc etc...
they dun seem to get it...
they said tt NS forge a better charactor of guys, they matures,become more responsible, more disciplined etc etc...
well... not sure about the mature part...
but i'm responsible (i think)... even before NS...
as for discipline...
well...
i'm still tt mother fucker before NS :D
moulds a better person during NS?
i dun think so...
there are ppl inside my bunk who whines day in day out...
he whines about doing nothing in camp, but cannot book out...
he whines about staying at home too sian, got nothing to do but nobody to go out with,
he whines about partying too much, need to cut down on all these...
practically he whines about everything...
and i have to hear this everyday...
now this is irritating...
i will suggest those ladies who think NS can mould a better character out of guys who enters to go n try out themselves...
may NS mould the best characters out of them...
ha!

well...
bitch n moan again next time...
may u guys stay alive to see me tell tales again...
hahaha

我一直在想...

2009-04-12T00:05:00.003+08:00

我一直在想...
为什么同志们在做广宣流布的奋斗时都那么不开心？

更糟的是，为什么同志们之间因为广布的事不开心，因为别的事（非广布事务）更不开心？

我听到同志们心中的不爽，对某某人判断能力，对某某人的决定而有的难听的意见，对同志们没有顾虑到大局而鲁莽的进行自己认为对的东西而感到非常失望，
也对同志 A 和同志B 互相暗箭伤人的行为感到十分的惊讶。

我能了解学会是一个人本主义的组织，每一个人都有发言的权利。
但是，大家都是为了感恩恩师才挺身而出奉献与广布的了不起的弟子。
为何要伤害对方？

《人间革命》大家没有看吗？
恩师在书里写到，要弟子们以喜悦的心情来奉献与广宣流布，来累积福运，最后得到绝对的幸福。
大家不会 read between the lines 吗？

是因为大家奋斗到太累了，而做出自己不知道也不想做的事吗？
还是这个问题一定会出现，只是我做的不够，还没遇到而已？

所以我一直都在想 . . .

BIA !!! (Back In Action)

2009-04-09T14:42:00.002+08:00

The last entry

2009-03-11T17:19:00.004+08:00

as the title reads...
this will be the last entry...

until i come back from taiwan (9th April)
yes...
i will be flying off at 12th March (0230hr)
tt means i will need to go airport at 11th March (2359hr)

i have been looking forward to the trip since last june, after i came back from taiwan...
not looking forward to the training, but looking forward to its R&R tour...

the training...
no need to say...
will be very very shag...
wat kind of training?
cannot say anything either...

we have been told...
to be wary of the reporters there...
tabloid papers (not to mention paparazzi magazines) are deadly over there...
if u say "the pen is mightier than the sword",
well...
reporters of taiwan have pens tt's a million times mightier than tt sword...
(imagine giving them a sword... they'll make WMD out of it)

the whole trip's motivation is towards the end, the R&R tour
nevertheless, i will miss home...
i will oso miss friends and comrades here...
i will oso miss lots of important meetings, which will be held during my absence...

one friend has already left for overseas as well...
he's tze kiat (the other tk)
he'll be going to India...
the birthplace of buddhism...
he told us, tt he's been told not to drink the tap water there, as its "very dirty"
well... the TAP water there is not tt dirty...
its jus tt our singaporeans' stomachs are jus too clean for tt kind of tap water.
india's famous river, The Ganges River, is one of the world's most sacred river.
It is oso the most polluted river in the world.
(does it mean tt the dirtier the river is, the more sacred it becomes?)
whoever allows the water to touch the lips will result in...
very very very serious water poisoning...
(it is tt deadly)

imagine the Americans bring this sacred water and let it flow into the Afghan and pakistan borders...
those Taliban warriors hiding there will...................

anyway...
a silent departure will do...
dun let everyone noe i'm gone will be good enough...
(if not they will ask me buy stuff from taiwan)

till then...
ciao~

*** ADD ONS ***
i randomly picked a blog on my links to read after writing the above entry...
i picked stella's...
she had this quiz tt sound so interesting tt i've decided to try it myself...

u can try the quiz over here

and here's the result :

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

"u will find urself with plenty of dates"
so...
where the hell are they?!?!?!?!?
骗人的！ - . - |||

TK's “今日冷笑话”

2009-03-09T13:59:00.002+08:00

小明上课时睡着，被老师发现了。
老师就对小明说到，

老师：小明，你有听过龟兔赛跑的故事吗？

小明：有啊。

老师：那这个故事告诉了我们什么道理？

小明：我懂啊，不睡觉的是乌龟！

jus wanna bring across one point...
its good to work really hard...
but sometimes... to rest, is to go further (休息是为了走更长远的路）

for friends out there who are struggling in their own endeavor out there,
fret not...
it takes time to see the result...
a wise king was once a cry baby,
a mighty dragon was once no bigger than a worm...
(yes it takes time)
and result will show :)

少妇（总会）熬成婆

take good care of yourselves everyone :)

2009-02-14T22:06:00.001+08:00

Today is Valentines Day...
its oso known as the Singles Awareness Day (S.A.D in short)

hence i hereby wish all couples a very happy Valentines Day!
and oso wish the Singles Happy S.A.D (contradicting huh)

To me...
today is oso...
my mom's 51st birthday...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
(but none of us celebrate her birthday)
in fact, she specially applied leave today so tt we can celebrate with her...
all of us were too busy celebrate with her...

so for her...
its really SAD...

i can't celebrate with her today becos...
i was doing home visits in the late morning...
and going for SUJ (Soka University Japan) students exchange programme...
this is the second time i'm taking part in this programme...
i must say...
this is the happy V day i ever, becos i spent the evening with SUJ brothers and sisters...

i jus feels great...
playing host for the Japan counterparts...
bringing them to Marina Square for dinner...
taking photos with them..
me changed from someone who is "camera shy" to someone who camwhores with them...
(sounds ridiculous, but somewhat true)
photos will have to wait till nicholas send the photos to me...

we sang a song, specially composed for the event when Ikeda Sensei met and have dialogue with late Chinese Premier Zhou En Lai...

the song goes :

<<樱花园>>

La La La La La La La....

花落花开月缺月圆，世事风云多变幻

樱花因缘倍生艳，友好万代传

年年岁岁花满枝，亿万民众齐景仰

日中青年手携手，热望和平万年青

我亦衷心赞高德，友谊樱花万年长！

we oso share with them about doing Kosenrufu in Singapore...
i have to say...
whatever problems we face here...
(like friends who does not believe in religion)
they face the same problems too :)
hence...
we are in the same boat!!! hahaha

The campaign of Kosenrufu has not boundaries,
no time limit...
as long as there's people who is unhappy,
at any place,
at any time,
Kosenrufu will go on...

i hereby declare...
this year's Valentines Day is a sad & lonely one (becos nobody want me to love her, sobz)

lol...
Who cares~
"i'm alone, yet not alone"
i spent this lovely day with brothers and sisters from SD & SUJ :)
pictures of the "camwhoring session" (ok la, maybe i didn't take tt many pictures la) will be uploaded next time...

till then...
stay lovely ;)

tk's quote of the day:

Smiling is more than the result of happiness, it is the cause of happiness

i "lost" something...

2009-02-01T02:29:00.005+08:00

i've lost something really valuable today (31st jan)
although this lost is not forever...
but somehow i feeling kinda sad now...

this lost is somewhat beneficial...
becos this lost is about a friend going overseas for further education...
i can no longer talk to this friend (over the phone) becos this friend will need to study n to have overseas calls....... its freaking expensive la...
(curse my dad for not owning a diamond mine)

this friend is none other than Chua Ru Bin...
(yes its a she)

wat has she done to my life?
well...
she has become my talk cock buddy, while i'm in camp...
i will used to call her (occassionally) to talk cock...
she never fails to pick up tt phone... (although she can dun reply sms one)
the talk cock session is really talk cock session...
basically, i will do all the talking...
she do "all the listening"...
wat i talk about?
everything...
anything...
sometimes no link at all...

after each talk cock sessin... which is quite meaningless (the content i said is really cock)
somehow or rather...
i felt happy...
happy tt i talked to a girl?
happy tt got someone to listen to all my bullshit?
the answer is : i dunno...

now tt she has flown off to Australia for further studies...
i wish her all the best in her studies over there...
friends who came to send her off each gave her a little something as a farewell gift...
98% of us...
except... kiat...
and me...
simply becos...
i gave mine to her last week... (ha!)

while the friends who gave her farewell gifts were mostly handmade...
i bought my gift from a store...
quite an ordinary gift...

i gave her a pen (of course i can't handmake a pen, have to buy it)
knowing well tt giving a pen as a gift is a chinese taboo... (but tts not my intention la)
lucky she believe Jesus Christ one, so not superstitious...
i oso gave her a phrase of 11 words i kinda find it catchy n meaningful, from NHR, by Sensei...

"Use it to write a golden diary of your triumphant life"

n there she goes...
off to Australia... 3 to 6 years (although she will be back for a while during term breaks la)
and yes, i will miss her....

so now......
here's a million dollar question u may want to ask me...
"do u like her?"

well...

她是 leong 的最爱...
she knows it, jus refuse to accept his love only (i think)
(imagine leong is feeling a 100 times worse than me right now)
so the answer will be a No....... for now
who knows, i may be madly in love for her 10 years later...

ANYWAY.......
Bon Voyage Ru Bin!!!
till we meet again n good luck in Brisbane :)

3.) got the guts to jump out of Chinook and C-130 at 1000 ft (around 300m above sea level) for Airborne :)

4.) went to Taiwan :)

lets look at things i've YET to complete in 2008...
1.) get a girlfriend
2.) FRIENDS (NOT comrades) to celebrate my birthday
3.) get my red beret
4.) my driver's licence :(
5.)be a good guy for others to befriend with

well...
here's my wish list (or rather To-Do list) for 2009...

1.) wear No.1 (with red beret) for NDP 2009
i will wear the smartest of all uniforms (yes, even smarter than the smartest 4)
so if ppl out there who think tt their brother(s) or boyfriend(s) looks freaking cool (or smart) in their smartest 4... Watch out, becos tk's gonna be in the smartest of the smartest uniform ever...

2.) get a girlfriend (this time i want a japanese girl, lol)
this will always be a priority unless........
something bad happened to me la
lol...

3.) get a driver's licence.
i can no longer tolerate all the public transport nonsense...
late...
fare hike...
anyhow charge extra $$$...
vehicle breakdowns...
its time to put a stop to these rubbish...

4.) make more new friends (in particularly, FEMALE friends)
leong has commented on my circle of friends...
he's asking... "aren't u have any female friends at all?"
(becos every friends we saw outside were either army buddies, or Gakkai brothers)
so where were those female friends?
they seem to vanish into thin air as if they never exist at all...
well... good for them...
becos i'll not meet up with them...
their disappearance made me more independent...
those friends, as they claim to be...
those who were "too busy" to meet up all year round...
or rather not busy at all (but suddenly got lots of issues to settle, the moment i ask for a gathering) with no follow ups at all...
sometimes i wished to curse tt they rot in hell...
but i can't and i won't...
becos they are my friends...
i'll jus continue to be dumb & believe tt u pple are jus sooooooooooooo busy to meet up...
me not being understanding (for not being able to be at the gathering due to busy schedules)???
so be it...
angry for wat i said???
GOOD!
Shiying once asked me how come i dun seem to have any problems at all...
well...
there are...
"Friends" will be the problem...
its so common tt i'm used to it already...
so i get it over and done with ASAP...

well...
to continue...

5.) i want more $$$
the more the merrier of course...

6.) to stop writting this blog...
this particularly long entry will no longer be a norm in my blog...
i will write less each time...
those who are lazy to call me to have a chat but want to parasect on the info on this blog will jus have to fuck off :)
i will not close down this blog becos i really do have something really really nice which i wanted to share with the whole world...

7.) i wanna get a new wallet
the old one is... spoiling

8.) i wanna get a new watch
the current is.... still ok,
jus tt the strap is broken...

and now...
resolutions for Gakkai stuff...
1.) i will take flight in 2010...

AKE...

2008-12-28T15:27:00.003+08:00

i was looking through the pics shirley posted on facebook on the aKe concert on teh 18th of december 2008...

i have to admit...
i do miss aKe alot...
becos...
aKe is one of the only few coloudful memories which i do treasure really really really dearly during my MI days...
not saying tt my MI days are miserable...

its only...

all the teachers tt made my MI days black n white...

however...

its all the friends and some sch mates tt made my MI days colourful...

its aKe tt made my MI days HD (High Definition) :D lol...

well...

i can't attend the concert (BECOS OF ARMY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRH!!!!!)
i oso can't get to see my beloved conductor miss wee (yes... she's the power socket to tt "HDTV" of mine during my MI Days) conduct her last concert for aKe before she flies to US (if i'm not wrong la) and stay there for quite a while lor...

the good thing is...
i found clips of MIAKE performance on youtube :)
its been posted by Hendra and gang...
ha!
the clips sure bring back lots n lots of memories...

the first clip is the AKE's medley of malay folk songs at the concourse, esplanade, 2007
i did took part in this performance (and i think i'm inside the video clip)
its shouldn't be the last few performances i took part...
becos...
claris was inside the clip...
(which means she haven't left sch yet)

i really miss those days whereby we need to move instruments around...
and me and tze kiat will just sit somewhere else and do "eye power"
(2 of us are one hell of Cyclops(s), who uses lots of eye power ha!)

now tt i can't really have the chance anymore... (whether its to do eye power, or to really just help out around)
current MIAAKE (or the alumni) is still going on...
but its just not the same anymore...
becos...
firstly...

no miss wee around... not the same anymore...

secondly...

now i need to pay to get into the ensemble...

the reason why i joined aKe is becos i dun wannapay much $$$ for a CCA...
but now i need to pay :(

well anyway...
the second clip features my juniors performing Pachebel's Canon...
this time i'm not in the clip (so dun worry) becos i've graduated...
i did not attend this performance...
becos...
i got zadankai (i think) so can't really attend...

well...
heard tt miss wee will be flying off on the 4th...
and a good friend's flying off to Australia for further studies on the 31st as well :(

所谓天下无不散之宴席...
suck it up tk!
u'll take off one day too!

for those of u who have not seen Miss Wee (or have forgotten how she looks like)
here's a pic... proudly stolen from shirley's website (i'm sure she won't mind, but even if she does, I DUN GIVE A DAMN HAHAHA!)

She act cute hor...
30 years old, mother of 2 already still like tt...
tsk tsk tsk...
(ok... jus joking)

bon voyage!

as for me...
gtg....................

2008-12-07T23:45:00.002+08:00

haha...

today is SD annual Kenshu...
the duration is around 11 hours...
zZz...

not tt the programme is too boring...
but its the duration...
its jus too long...

after the Kenshu...
by right we are supposed to have renewed our determination, overjoyed, or watever form of happiness (becos we learnt something new)
but to me...
i kinda feel sad (subconsciously la)
i think its becos...
i noe tt...
i've not done enough...
NS have moulded me into someone sooooooooo pessimistic...
has drilled me into someone sooooo lifeless...
tts an evil organisation...
denied ppl off happiness, humanity and freedom...
>:(

anyway...
have been thinking of my future these few days...
and i realised...
i have so much things to do...
but so little time...
i have decided...
i'm gonna try shutting down this blog after i ORDed...
not tt i'll delete the whole blog away...
i'll jus leave it as it is ( i hope)
leave it to collect dust..
leave it to rot...
ha!

i have one bad news...
i "pao" 3 regimental (tt means i'm not being punished) guard duties...

one on the 1st of January (ang moh's new year :( )

Wat a day today!

2008-11-30T01:31:00.002+08:00

today is teck kiang's (or rather yesterday, given the time i write this entry) most impt date in his life...

its his wedding ceremony date today! :)
while congrats to both u n shuyi finally managed to be together (legally, lol) after going through so much...

i was told tt tk (its teck kiang, not tuan kiak or tze kiat mind u)'s father -in -law is discovered to have.... 3rd stage cancer if i remember correctly...
to have such happy occasion coming up, then such tragic news to spearhead the whole event is not encouraging at all...
but who cares(well... i dun really mean tt la), they made it through the wedding ceremony with happy faces...

since he invited lots of ASDians...
so an item was put up by ASDians by singing some love songs la...
and we add in a "surprise" item for the bride...
tk (teck kiang) sang the song...
its simply lovely! (i didn't noe he can sing tt well)
before tt, kaili n wee yong dedicated a speech to tk (teck kiang)...
with kaili.... who is single, with absolutely NO marriage experience giving teck kiang (i gave up tying his name's short form) "tips for a happily ever after marriage"
e.g:
1.) ur wife is always right...
2.) keep saying these 3 words (other than i love u) "dear, u're right" (or something like tt)

then with wee yong adding salt and vingar to kaili's speech (the part with additional tips)
"teck kiang, u're the boss............................. only if she's (the bride shuyi) is not around"
the whole diamond hall is filled with roars of laughter...

teck kiang's wedding also bring back graduated ASDians (whom some i haven seen for a long time) back for gathering...
after tt...
head down to ViVo (or rather the hawker centre oppositethe shopping mall) for lunch...
watched movie "Body of Lies" with jian li, stella, wee yong, juay kai, wei han, joel...
the movie was alright (maybe becos i'm into war films)...
although some parts i dun really understand wat the hell they talking about...
after tt (though not straight away la)...
we went up n notice alot of pple (after da pao dinner) sitting there...
dunno wats going on too...
ask a few of those who are sitting down (picnic style) why are they doing tt...
they say ViVo is going to have a firework show at 9.15pm...
welll...
initially i THOUGHT we wanted to wait for the show to start...
so we sat down there...
and we start talking about army stuff...
in the end i bitch n moan about my miserable army life the most of course...
juay kai will bragged about his current status as NSmen (which means he ORDed)

after talking alot of cock...
jian li parted us...
the rest of the NS guys (both NSmen & NSFs) continued to talk trash at Mac's...
this is when we heard explosions...
we saw the fireworks up at ViVo skies! :)
heard tt it is to celebrate ViVo's 2nd anniversary :)
the Quantity is definitely much less than NDP's...
but the quality is there...
ViVo is damn rich la...
still can afford such expenditure at such bad times...

anyway..
through the conversation...
i suddenly remembered a vow!
a vow to take care of every single NSFs in the Student Division during my NS period...
i've forgotten about this vow!!!!
SHAME ON ME!!!

humph!

now tt i've rememebered why i struggle so much at the begining...
its time to pick up where i've left off...

GAMBATTE TTK!
for Peace & Humanity, ASD!!!

:(

2008-11-23T15:26:00.002+08:00

i need to book in very early today...
need to be in camp by 6.30pm...
becos a roll call (to account for manpower) is to be done by 7pm...
this is so stressed up...

so stressed up tt i actually woke up at 6am thinking tt i'm already late for reporting time...

but nevertheless...
i will persevere on!

before i go show u a picture my sis took with the hamster...
(remember i told u guys i had 2 hamsters?)
well...
one of them (the female one) died at earlier part of the year...
around April if i remember correctly...
leaving this one still alive n kicking...
this hamster is the last sole survivor tt survive for so long (one human year old already)
the rest of his cousins are long time 6 feet underground...

so here's the picture...
enjoy :)

BAD News!

2008-11-15T17:57:00.003+08:00

Some good news first :)

Firstly...
i survived the 72 km route march :)
although i barely survived it la...
its really a tour around Singapore...
from Lim Chu Kang...
all the way to Changi...
believe me...
before 72, i thought its impossible...
after 72, nothing is impossible :)

wat's left between me n tt red beret is...
SOC...
-.-||

Second piece of good news...
by now all of u should have already know...
Obama is the new president :)
may he save the world with his position so high up there...

and now for the bad news...
Retrenchment...
layoffs...
Bankruptcy...
every news today is bad news...
from the economists...
the drastic drop in oil price to US$50+ can be a really bad thing in the near future...
it symbolise how bad the economy around the world at this present moment...
such a global financial tsunami of course will stir shit to sampans like Singapore...

DBS "spearheaded" the movement...
started its 900 layoff campaign movement to stay afloat...
today's news...
Morgen Stanley's high note 9 & 10 are practically worthless...
watever values of the shareholders have (heard tt its a total of $26 Millions) are worthless...

lets jus hope tt the new president Mr Obama can save the world...
dominate the world with economy...
not military...

this Christmas will be a tragic Christmas to all...
lets have Hope...

"Hope transforms pessimism into optimism. Hope is invincible. Hope changes everything. It changes winter into summer, darkness into dawn, descent into ascent, barrenness into creativity, agony into joy. Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life's blossoming. "

until then...

tk's quote of the day : "我在减肥！"

the "multiplier effect"

2008-10-26T17:15:00.003+08:00

hey hey!

i'm here again to talk cock again :D
i'm kinda high right now...
(not becos i took drugs)
but becos i got a loooooooong weekend...
deepavali's tml...
currently clearing leave too...
by right i'm only supposed to go back camp on the 2nd...
but...
but...
i need to do guard on the 28th - . -||

there's oso a piece of bad news for everyone here...

tt is...

i'm not going to get the red beret on the 7th of November...

i'm not qualified...

becos...

i failed SOC...

becos i didn't train hard enough...

simply due to the reason of my injured leg...
(the sprained leg from brunei)

which lefet me with no choice...
but to hang my vocation on the line...
i was told tt there's going to be the very last SOC test specially for me...
(becos my commanders think tt i've "positive attitude")
but its not going to be anytime before the 7th of November...

with one more add on to my previous entry...

some ppl are good at shooting (got marksman for their ATP)
(while me... can't even shoot down an elephant)
ATP (Advance Training Package) is a test of shooting...
if u managed to obtain a result of more than 80% (or 39 out of 48 shots) in 1st attempt,
$200 will be given...

as i'm a money oriented person...
of course i will want this $200 to be credited to my small small POSB account...

BUT...

for some reason...

i didn't get it...

i only scored 25 out of 48...
barely pass the test...
scored 19 out of 32 in the day...
while a pathetic result of 6 out of 24 in the night...
and i still want to be a sniper...

tk...

u're a LOSER!

how to be a sniper (whose shooting needs to be soooo precise, not to mention accurate)
when u can't even shoot an elephant?

well...

WATEVER!

alot of things has been on my mind now...
but i dunno how to share it, especially up here...

but i will share a pic here:)

until then...

Some strings of thoughts...

2008-10-19T18:40:00.004+08:00

i was just thinking (maybe self reflecting) wat a person am i...
then i just realise...

i'm not good in everything...
well u see...

some people will be good in their looks...
(while me... looking like erm... i dunno wat to describe, but its nothing good mentioning)

some people are good in their studies...
(while me... failing my A levels despite "studying" for 4 years)

some people are good at their physical fitness...
(while me... haven clear my IPPT/SOC yet)

some people are good at telling jokes/talking cock...
(while me... being banned by my bunk mates from telling any)

some people are good at cooking... (tiramisu (or watever the spelling is), cookies, cake etc...)
(while me... can only create edible ones from raw food)

some people are good at changing GFs...
(while me... only good at changing my specs [3rd pair this year])

some epople are good at slacking...
(while me... always kana caught slacking)

some people are good at learning...
(while me... stubbornly must do it like... 10 times?)

thinking of all these can really makes me sad...
(oh well... not THAT sad la...)
i mean...
tk, there must be something u're good at right?
becos...
by default...
everyone should be good at SOMETHING right?

WILL SOMEONE PLS TELL ME WAT AM I GOOD AT?

anyway...

this time its army JCC orientation in Brunei jungle...
with me posing as someone who didn't noe there's a camera around :D

becos blanket party will awaits me tonight, or even tml...
(or even for the rest of the year)

hmmmz...
saw an article which says something about "being 20 something"
it does look quite interesting to me...

here it is :

“Being Twenty-something - they call it the "Quarter-life Crisis. It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realising that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realising that people are selfish and that,maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognise is that they are realising that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job ... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realising that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realise that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next,secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realise that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot don't seem as fun. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." It's really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends, but it is really sad when the best of friends become two strangers. ”
i dunno about u ppl, but i felt tt this is somewhat true to watever tt is happening...
well...
i'll leave it to u ppl to let ur thoughts run wild...

Ciao~

Wat a day!

2008-10-01T20:17:00.003+08:00

i need to correct something about the previous entry...

i didn't eat sea urchin...
i got mixed up with puffer fish...
河豚 is puffer fish in chinese...
NOT sea urchin...

tend to confused with these 2 aqua creatures, becos both are dangerous...
this is the picture of the puffer fish dish me n my bro ate yesterday...
its called Fugu Karaage...

its great... :)
u guys should try it one day... lol

i oso had a gathering with my secondary friends yesterday...
although out of the 40 over classmates...
only.......
6 attended...
pathetic huh...
but nevertheless...
we had a great time talking cock...
they kept asking me about the relationship between me & tt girl on my friendster's display pic...
well...
i'll like to clarify here tt she is just a NORMAL friend to me...
(a very good friend though)
the reason why i still put up the photo is to drive away "female demon/s" tt has been haunting me for quite sometime...
(i'll just let tt female demon/sASSUME the relationship between me n tt girl on friendster display pic............ which she did :D )

back to today's topic...
well...
had another round of food fiesta, with a totally group of pple...
this time its kiat, leong and bryan...
we went to Seoul Gardens to satisfy our spirit of hunger...
to tell u guys the truth,
this is the first time i visit Seoul Gardens...
yes...
its true...
not becos i lived in a mountain cave for the past 2 decades...
its becos everytime i wanna go...
no friends wanted to go (or unable to do so)
when my friends are available for makan session,
i cannot go....
tts damn sad right...
but here i am, at Seoul Gardens anyway...

food was...
ok...
i like the free flow of drinks part...
although the total bill cost quite a bomb (to me)...
(around $30 per pax)

tml will be the last day of my OIL (Overseas Indue Leave)
which is my off indue i mentioned 2 entries ago :)
will want to make the best out of it...
since these few days have been a makan fiesta...
maybe i shall go to " Carnivore " (or watever the spelling is)
at Vivo City...
tt buffet...
is all about...
MEAT!

lastly...
will like to wish all Mats & Minahs a Selamat Hari Raya Puasa :)
will like to wish all Chinese Nationals a very happy 59th National Day for China :)

and...
will like to wish all kids & kids young at heart a very very very Happy Children's Day :)

at the mean time...
stay happy pple :)

A ( very ) Weird Secret ;)

2008-09-30T13:28:00.007+08:00

today is day 2 of my off indue...
i decided to write a totally different entry as compared to my conventional entries (criticising pple, making a joke out of pple, whines about army life, report on my daily (boring) routine etc etc...)

i'm going to share a secret with u pple :)

u see...
tk has always been attracted to pretty looking (if she's sexy, better still, lol) girls...
his eyes will lock on to the target/s (pretty girls in this case) and u will see tk staring at her for a long long time... until she's of my sight, or she herself caught me staring at her, or somebody else...

however...
deep down inside...
i like this "her", who is just soooooo average...
average looking,
her father doesn't own oil refineries (she's not financially wealthy),
she comes from an average family...
etc...

when i knew her...
i didn't noe why...
i started talking to her...
realised tt she has a completely different personality/ character (i dunno which is which, so just put both ha!) from me...
She even hate things tt i like...
i still hang out with her... (well not really hang out la...)
just can't stop thinking of her...
even until now...

call tt a crush, BFF (best friend forever), kinship, hallucination, assumption, comradeship, or watever shit tt u call tt...
she plays an important part of me now, whether i like it or not...
(she doesn't noe it of course)

i've decided not to express this feeling to her...
(no balls huh tk)
simply becos i fear for a change...
(but i still an Obama supporter here, tts besides the point lol)
a change for the worse...
even if she will remain the same after confessing this weird feeling to her...
i will not be the same ever again, in front of her...
so wat i hope for...
is the no change of current situation...
where we can still be as normal as possible :)

After so much of trash talking...
wanna know who's the unlucky girl?

well...

i'm not going to tell u...
despite in this private blog, with viewership less than 15,

simply becos...

"She" can be YOU

do not think tt YOU'll never be the one,
or its IMPOSSIBLE for YOU to be the one...
becos... IMPOSSIBLE = I-M-POSSIBLE

:)

*******************************************************
today is oso day 2 of my makan fiesta...
today is jap food...
gonna try sea urchin at my mom's restaurant later...

*******************************************************

Yeah!

2008-09-29T19:27:00.004+08:00

its monday n tk's not in a hurry to book in :)
so happy about tt...
although at some point of time i'm abit pissed off...
pple keep calling me to help them replace guard duty...

HEY!!!

U THINK U ARE THE ONLY ONE BUSY ARH?!?!?!

I OSO VERY BUSY OK...

anyway...
just to share with u guys wat i did the first day of my off indue :)
(its nothing interesting actually)

in the morning...
went to this "China Shaolin Traumatology & Chinese Massage Centre" to get my left ankle fixed... (remember i got a pretty bad sprain on my left ankle tt swelled up like pig trotters when i was in brunei?)
well...
the "Shaolin Shifu" upon looking at my left ankle (the swell on my ankle is still there) told me to sit down...
took his "Shaolin made" medicated oil n start his treatment on my left ankle...
(he used his "Shaolin trained" finger n pressed at my leg, n found out tt 3 areas of my ankle is painful, he told me, 3 of my bone joints in my leg, has shifted position,
so he'll need to use his "Shaolin Kungfu" to make the 3 joints go back again...)

his treatment was a painful one...
although the pain did not bring me to tears...
(like as if i cry very easily like tt)
the pain nearly made me jump off the chair...
i really hope the swell n the pain will go away after the "Shaolin treatment"

up next...
went to “ 老北京 ” in Novena Square to have a high tea buffet with my army buddies...
out of the 17 of us in the detachment...
only 10 came...
but we had a great time wacking on the chinese dim sums over there...
one of us actually got a bonus,
becos 他被女人搭讪...
lol...
we were laughing our ass off when she come asking for his number...

becos a minute ago he was making dirty jokes about big boobs women,
n the next moment he got himself one (yes, a women with 2 papayas hanging in front of her)

she's indeed very very bold...
to ask number from a guy when 9 other guys were making a joke out of the scene...
to describe tt lady...
well...
she's in her late 20s i supposed (maybe she looks mature)
n...
she doesn't wears a bra... (yes its true, i'll know it when i see it)

hahaha...

tts it for my day...

anyway...
the way we wack food at buffet is really unhealthy...
going to brunei make me lost at least 2kgs,
indulge in these kind of buffet will bring the 2 kgs back...
(lost weight anyone? go to brunei jungle n sleep there for 1 or 2 weeks, but dun ask me go with u... becos i'll fuck u up, down, left, right, centre, front and back; I DUN LIKE BRUNEI!)

38 + 5 more days to my red beret...

on tt day...
12 of November...
u'll see scene something like this...

i'll get there...
be there to support me too...

Haven Now...

2008-09-28T11:29:00.002+08:00

I'm back from Brunei!!!
FINALLY!!!

the 3 weeks in Brunei is...
unbearable...
hellish conditions...
one moment the temperature is above 33 degrees,
the next moment is heavy downpour...

got sick very easily...

the dense jungle in Brunei makes me appreciate Tekong & Marsiling jungle more...
from previous entries u guys should noe tt i hate jungle to the core...
especially when i need to go outfield every 2 weeks since posted to Battalion...

so now if i ever go to tekong jungle again, it will be a piece of log cake for me :)
(jus re calling the Brunei jungle really makes me sick)

all army pple says...
u'll need to climb Mount Biang in order to say proudly say u've been to brunei
Mount Biang is a hill around 1300 ft + high...
well...
i didnt climb Biang...
becos...

I'M INJURED!

had a pretty bad sprain on my left ankle while attempting to go down a slope...
the sprain made me instant handicapped fella...
(becos its so bad tt i can't walk)
this sprain gives me 10 days MC till the 2nd October

First time reported sick in my entire army life...
(9 months soldier with 8 months of injury free record)

i wanted to tell the whole training trip as detailed as possible...
but alot of things cannot be disclosed (so openly)

well...
lets talk about other things...

i'm off till 2nd october!
not the MC off,
but its the off indue, for spending 3 sundays in Brunei...
so SAF pay back 3 days...
(got 1 day Public Holiday)
so total i got 4 days :D
i wanna enjoy these 4 days totally...
so pls help me fulfill it, but all coming out to merry making (lol)

my red beret presentation ceremony has been pushed back to the 12th of November :s
having mixed feelings for tt...
happy becos tt means i got more time to clear my IPPT nm SOC (which i still have not done so)
sad becos still need to endure all the trainee shit, n suffer longer...
but i'll perservere!!!
so job of my frens will be very simple...
just be there for the presentation ceremony (tts if i cleared my IPPT n SOC, lol)

so my countdown timer is another +5 days...
39 +5 = 44 days...

now tt i've got 4 days of civilian life,
will write again :)

tk's quote of the day : "For one to survive, one must die"

final countdown

2008-09-07T00:28:00.003+08:00

in less than 24 hours...
i'll be in brunei...

in less than 12 hours...
i'll need to come out victorious...
in my chapter's CFG...

ooh...
damn it...
i still haven pack up...

cya all soon :)

*******(add ons at 2315hrs)*******

my CFG was a blast!
although we didn't managed to hit the target of 1k (only 750)
but i must say all the particpants' spirit was really good :)
the spirit of Itai Doshin (many in body one in mind in jap) between Toa Payoh West members n leaders is really 好的没话说 :)

our chapter MD chief was on business trip to Middle East 2 nights ago, but he still managed to join us today :)

many leaders and members can't join us today due to watsoever reasons...
but they somehow still made it :)
tts really wonderful...

New Friends like Michael (S-POP song writing competition winner) who was sick the night before, still turn up and gave a wonderful performance (btw i like his songs)

this CFG really bosst up my morale and mood for this upcoming brunei trip...
i'm still at home now (07/09 2333hr) typing becos received an sms from my sergeant tt the whole flight is delayed by 1.5hrs, so every timing is being pushed by 1.5 hrs :)

one good news!
i'm 60 days away from my red beret!
2 months..........
its long....
tt is provided i clear my IPPT's 2.4 km run (need at least a 9.44 mins)
and my 1.5km SOC (within 9.29 mins)
if not everything will disappear like they never exist before...

and still 428 days away from my ORD.....
even longer...
dunno wat to say...
i wanted to do so much things when i ORD...

oh well...
到时再说...
time to go...

*******(end of add ons)*******
:)

one entry u may not be able to understand wat i say...

2008-09-05T19:09:00.004+08:00

hmmz...
i'll be off to brunei in another...
3 days (or less)...

(from the 8th to the 28th)

so usually...
this few days during my weekends will be very special to me, and should be spent in a meaningful way right?

well...
i kinda lied to pple in camp...
i told them i dun usually go out to chiong during the weekend,
"just stay at home", do wat a couch potato usually does (do nothing)...
tt wasn't the case...
in fact...
i'm kinda busier than anyone can imagine...

as my Chapter Friendship Meeting is at this weekend (CFG),
there's no time to lose...
youth here are doing their best, giving in their fullest in order to make this event a successful one, to achieve the attendance of 1k, to flood the hall of SSA HQ with new friends :)
i, myself is taking on 3 roles in this CFG, from a bus i/c, to allocation of seats personnel, to performer...
i, myself wanted this to be a morale booster for the whole chapter, and myself before i report to airport at night (yes, my CFG is on the 7th, and i need to report to airport at 07/09, at 2359hr)
so am i tt free to laze around at home?
i dun think so...

i dun have the courage to ask friends to attend...
especially the army friends...
becos i didn't kinda behave like Ikeda's disciple back in camp...

i did attempt to invite a few however...
but i guess tt few isn't good enough...
more effort needs to be put in...
it oso means tt i've failed in playing a part to invite as many pple as possible...
so tt left with wati'm going to do on tt day...
i will not fail again!

anyway...

i need an exercise buddy!
someone who loves to run...
becos i still cannot clear my IPPT's 2.4 km run
:(

***************************************************************

right up to now u should be able to see tt,
the reason why some may not understand is not becos
its too chim...
its becos all my paragraphs dun seem to link together...

will try to write something nicer before i fly off...

SAF

2008-08-30T02:35:00.003+08:00

hi everyone...
its been a long time since i lasted blogged...
becos...
i kana alot of extra guard duties...
for the past 2 weekends, i haven been serving guard duties in camp...
hence my weekend is very very very short...

many things have happened over the week...
we had demolition live firing on monday...
it was really fun :)
the unfortunate thing is...
we didn't get a chance to blow things up...
as there were too many restrictions over at the "bomb side"
no blowing of logs...
no blowing of metals...
no blowing of doors...
no blowing of trees...
no using of explosives more than 5kg for a single blow...
etc...
etc..
etc...
(i understand tt there's a ammo depot nearby)
my CSM (Company Sergeant Major) is so fed up with all these restrictions tt he mocked by saying tt... we should all use firecrackers instead...
becos firecrackers can only hear the sound ma...
no need to scare debris will fly...

hahaha...

actually...
we (trainers, officers and Men) were all quite unhappy with the system...
to me...
the army is being split into 3...
its...

3G army...
2G equipment...
1G technical support...

e.g for 2G equipment...
our load bearing vest (LBV) which replaced the SBO (which i'm not sure wat it stands for)...
the nylon material tt its used cannot disperse heat from our body...
causing all the Men and specialists to experince heat rash and other heat related injuries to the body...
the nylon material melts when burns...
supposedly Singapore troops are going for real operation this instance...
when troops' nylon made LBV came in contact with fire...
the whole thing will stick with us, the troops...
becos the LBV will melt...

if tts the case...
where to we store our rounds?
wat operations/ let alone mission can we complete?

the Night vision goggles tt the troops uses to conduct delibrate raid at night...
is...
3rd generation...
current world class special forces' troops uses...
the 8th?
or even the 10th generation night vision goggles...
lighter?
smaller?
greater mobility?
longer self life?

wat 3G?

transport/support sectorshave failed (i will say)
our tekong field camp recently had a flop in the transport sector...
not enough tonners (the SAF lorry) to ferry troops to the training area...
wat was being given?
civilian chartered bus (Vivo city bus, Jurong bird park bus, Mandai Zoo bus) are used...
i feel more like a tourist to Tekong than a training soldier...
thursday's live firing was a screw up... (the lessons were ok)
it is the transport arragement tt causes us the delay...
the buses cannot arrive the camp at earlier time, to beat the morning traffic...
tt means our movement was delayed due to the late buses (by an hour to be exact)
the morning traffic in the SLE and TPE further delayed troops movement by another 15 mins...

speaking of a HIGHLY DISCIPLINE military organisation, being late for more than an hour for live firing...
due to the late coming of chartered buses...
unavailability of tonners...

wat 3G?

and this is happening to the Best Combat Unit for 22 times?

wat about the other units?

i'll leave u guys to think about it...

gonna go :)

tk's quote of the day : " the truth is not important, it is wat people believes"

2008-08-09T12:28:00.003+08:00

i was looking at celebrity dawn yang's blog entry about her Singapore patriotism thingy...

so i decided to write about my own version of national day and my patriot thing...

to me...
Singapore is actually quite a nice piece of red dot to live in (yes... seriously)
quite a fortunate place...
Strategic location,
no natural disaster, (SARS is not a natural disaster right?) although its abit too hot and humid at times
multi religion, multi racial bla bla bla...
huge amount of monetary reserves in Bank Xs, Ys, and Zs tt every country can only dream about having it...
good defence force,
"wonderful" education system,
lease corrupt government,
etc etc etc...

wat makes me proud to be a Singaporean?
basically...
its the kiasu culture,
the Singlish language,
the complain this complain tt attitude...

these are some of the unique characteristics of Singaporeans, although it may seem annoying to foreigners (i sometimes find it annoying too... ha! contradicting myself here)

lets just say tt like it or not...
this is Singapore...
this is the way we were brought up...
this is the way we've survived for 43 years...
if u tell me a turtle hides in its shell when in face of danger is hum ji (no balls/ timid) ...
i agree...
BUT...
this is the way turtles survive, some to 500 years...

hence...

if singapore survive for 43 years becos of kiasuness and complainess...
i'll live with it...
and be proud of it...
so if ang mohs out there find it disgusted...
well...

TOO BAD!!!

u guys just have to live with it :)

on the other hand...
i dun really like singapore...
in terms of the governance...
lets talk about more close to my heart things first...
(national services)

pay government back with 2 years of my youth...
in return...
being treated like dogs... (less the collar, kennel, pedigree, and sterlisation, or watever u all call tt... ouch)
weekend burnt like forest fire...
going out field like heading towards town...
Carry On Many Missions And No Day Off, commando lifestyle...
giving ur life to Grimreaper (to see if he takes it) just becos u get extra $300 combat allowance...
etc etc etc...

now something tt is close to everyone else hearts...
ERP...

supposed to ease off traffic during peak hours...
to minimise economical cost, for those doing business la...
to civilians...
its to minimise the dead weight lost...
however...
DEAD WEIGHT LOST is a welfare lost to nobody, nothing, it just disappears...
how can government benefit from these dead weight lost, by earning all the $$$ taken away by the gantries?
(i'm poor in expressing my thoughts... wondering if u guys understand wat am i saying)
so... the people here have to accept... suck thumb lor...

Taxi drivers are great analyst...
if govt gives out incentives...
they analyse it as...
election's coming...
but after tt...
they take back everything from u again... (lol)
they give u a drumstick, so tt one day they will take back the whole chicken...
hahaha...

but nevertheless, i just love singapore :)

*** Add On***
didn't really watch NDP today as i'm down with HV with wee yong and chang jye...
but saw it in the news tt our Flagbearers did a wonderful job :D
haha... liang yue was interviewed by the reporters...
(i think i saw qing de and sikang during the performance too)

WELL DONE FLAG BEARERS!!!
Sensei will be proud to know this!
the youth in singapore is ready!
ready to take over ur noble mission :)

got a new phone, Nokia E51 before today's HV...
its a great phone...
cos got no camera, can bring it into camp... lol

***End of add on***

till then...
at the mean time...
take care people :)

tk's quote of the day : " Feel the Singapore Spirit"

Something to laugh about...

2008-08-02T19:06:00.003+08:00

today is not a day to whine about NS :)
(simply becos i'll do it tml ;p )

today i'll like to share with u guys about one email kerui sent to me...
its kinda funny :)
its about an award called "Stella Award"

The 'Stella Awards' are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in New Mexico).
That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous and ridiculous, yet successful, lawsuits in the United States.

lets see the top 7 stories of this funny awards...

7th Place
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle when she tripped over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering that the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson's son.

pretty lame huh... more to come ;)

6th Place
Nineteen-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000and medical expenses when his neighbour ran over his hand with a Honda Accord.
Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbour 's hubcaps.

i dun get this one... but who cares! (ha!)

5th Place
Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage.
He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning.
He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, so Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days.
He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the home owners' insurance company, claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.

Now tt's outrageous...

4th Place
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded$14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next-door neighbour's beagle.
The beagle was on a chain in its owners' fenced yard. The award was less than originally sought, because the jury felt that the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a
pellet gun.

He still wins the case? in my opinion... he should have his fatherhood bitten off... (for animal abuse)

3rd Place
A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tail bone).
The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her
boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

She dun deserve the $$$... but she deserve the injury... (what goes around comes around) ha!

2nd Place
Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighbouring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies' room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.

WTF?!?!?!?!

1st Place (drum roll, please)
The winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand-new, 32-foot-long Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home from an OU football game -- having driven onto the freeway -- she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go into the back to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned.
Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually do that. The jury awarded her $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed its manuals on the basis that there may actually be more morons like her around!

no wonder some people told us be wary of female drivers... lol... no offence to our female drivers here :)

next up will be an article i read on the "last page" of 8- days

here goes...

Signs your Boyfriend is TOO into BATMAN

1.) At the car showroom, he always ask if the cars can also turn into motorcycles.
2.) He's seeing a plastic surgeon about getting his ears sharpened.
3.) When he answers the phone, his voice gets all low and growly.
4.) He wants u to wear a leather suit and meows alot...
5.) He's always complaining about some joker making his life difficult.
6.) He's begun hanging around with a young boy with shorts and referring to him as "Robin"
7.) (the last one is too lame to be put up here)

Have a nice weekend ahead peepz!

tk's quote of the day : " Why so serious? "

Arise!

2008-07-27T14:57:00.003+08:00

been busying with Soka activities this whole weekend...
(although had some time to slack, like now)
but what i didn't do is...
homevisiting...
whether its 4D side or the SD side

i've been a CIC since...
June?
but i've done not a single call up, nor a single homevisit...

i've been a district leader for...
one year?
but i still cannot breakthrough the district's growth...

I must have been a very lousy disciple of Sensei...

Yesterday's discussion meeting was fun...
we made adult division leaders join in our skit in encouraging members to bring new friends to chapter friendship gathering this september...
and i must say...
they co-operate with the youth and did a pretty good job :)
its one of the fewer times i see members did enjoy the whole meeting,
(although i can see it in their eyes tt they are rushing for time to proceed their next activities)

well...
Wat's Soka up to next?
NDP (a norm every year)
heard tt the flag bearers (this year's item) did a pretty good job last week...
so good tt the NDP chairman gave them a weekend off from the rehearsal (lol)

GAMBATTE FLAG BEARERS!!!

keep up the good work:)
the whole organisation will be with u guys...

up next will be Chapter Friendship Gathering (CFG)
its a platform for all friends to be introduced to SSA, on what we are doing, our aims, purpose, our beliefs, etc... not just aim to participate in NDP and Chingay every year...

one good benefit for me is tt, i'll be able to take part in my chapter's meeting on the 7th of september, (becos i'll be off to Brunei on the 8th, and won't be back till the 28th)
:D

being a frontline leader for one year...
realise tt the whole organisation really needs the constant in flow of youth to the frontline districts...
lots of things need the youth to accomplish, not tt the adult division can't do it...
but it is the youth tt will contribute to a more successful one...
i'm really hoping tt comrades from SD will really arise n take up positions in the frontline districts...
not tt there are none right now...
but i hope MORE will do tt...
:)
becos the battle to achieve absolute happiness is different from the battle experienced in the student division...

so comrades!
Arise!
Arise!
Arise!

Argggh......

2008-07-20T03:27:00.002+08:00

the problem of not being able to attend meetings due to NS is starting to bother me...

its starting to really bother me...

i missed out one very very important meeting last week...
that is ASD Connexion...
while i may have mentioned it in previous entries...
i've found out (from wee yong's blog) tt i really missed out alot...
games...
sharings...
and basically...
the pple :)
the sun...
the beach...
everything!

wee yong's blog oso mentioned about graduate's sharing, represented by shuli...
he says tt "she is damn zai"...
well...
he's right...
experienced before during the HR comics sharing back in... April?
the comment from me will be... " mou da deng"
she's really good...

(Shuli, can share with me wat u share at the Connexion? plsssssssssss.......)

just like wee yong...
me too...
will really miss such wonderful comrades who successfully embarked their next phrase of life...
加油！！！
(my plane can only take off from ASD airport in 2010; tk1986, the flying coffin ha)

well...

back to my regular whining session on my week of army life...
seriously...
i've never whine so much in my life...
until i enter army...

someone once asked...
why my unit does not experience "hell week" like wat the NDU does...
the answer given was...
becos in my unit...
every day is hell...
no need hell week...
(zZz...)

i hate out field...
becos of various reasons...

1.) cannot bathe
2.) need to put on make up ( camou paint) throughout the whole field camp
3.) combat rations (i dun understand why leong like it so much)
4.) every piece of vegetation is possible latrine for everyone, u'll never noe where n when u'll step on other ppl's poo/pee (or both) at the same time...

but i'm jus so sway tt i kana a unit which has one of the most no. of out field exercises than any other units...
i am just so sway...

going out field next week to Marsiling for 3D 2N out field training...
to prep us, trainees for September's Brunei...
(btw it starts from 08/09)
i'm NOT looking forward to it...

had live firing on friday...
it was boring (as we have to wait for our turn)
our resting area have durian trees...
and its durian season now...
eating durians kind of add some colours into the boredom in the day...
at night... (yes live firing got night shoot)
big boys like us did something which kids at 4 did at other countries...
we catch fireflies...

yes u didn't see it wrong...
its fireflies...
here...
in singapore...

they are like little flashlights sticking at their ass...
(yes they kinda got out of power after some time)

i dun believe this...
i'm supposed to do this kind of things 10 years ago...
only got a chance to do it now...
Singapore kids are really really misfortunate...

well...
gtg now...
till then...

tk's quote of the day : " Friends for life, Comrades for eternally!"

just a short one

2008-07-13T01:33:00.003+08:00

the previous post was dated 05/07

this day was my sister's 23rd birthday...
got her a crab...
bought another one intended for me n my mom
(i was trying to learn how to eat crab)
but end up my mom eating almost everything (lol)
the 2 crabs cost $42...
now tts damn expensive...

i shall not whine much about army life here...
(no point doing tt anyway...)

but just to show u all the picture of airborne :)
i dunno how the picture was taken,
but the picture i'm going to show is the sight of wat i see the moment i open my eyes
(yes i didn't dare to open my eyes during the initial punch out of plane)
the picture is taken at...
roughly 800 feet?

so here it is...
enjoy...

Until then :)

God Damn Shit...

2008-07-05T21:41:00.003+08:00

Damn it!

life in the Battalion is not good...
not good at all...
being treated worse than a recruit...
first week passed...
and its all stand by beds (bunk inspection),
Physical trainings,
and...

nothing else...
lots of "tekan" sessions...
so much tt i dun feel like going back at all...

just received my camp pass for my pass before i book out...
and the interesting date which i wish it will come right tml is...
my ORD (Operational Ready Date)...
its in the November 2009...
still got 492 days...
zZz...

just how much longer do they want to keep my pink IC?!?!?!?!
not tt i look very handsome in my pink IC (some says i look like a monkey)
not tt i like the colour pink (in fact, the army ic is green in colour, my favourite colour)
but i just want my pink IC back...
i promise i will hug it to sleep every night.................. (provided u return it to me now)
in short...
i dun like army life...
i'm just here to repay my debts of gratitude to the country, for allowing me to 吃到那么大...
not to go play with life and death can!

to sidetrack (of my whining session of army life)...
ASD ConneXion is next week...
but i dun think i can attend the session, if its hold on the saturday...
becos of late book outs
(see how army life have affected my life?)
hope tml's recce team is a great success :)

when there's nothing to do in camp, which are those minutes before lights out...
i tend to have think of alot of things...
a thought came to my mind...
i miss drinking...
to tell u the truth, i'm not a drinker...
the tummy tt hangs onto my stomach is not beer belly... (though it looks like the case)
but somehow or rather, i miss drinking...
miss those clubbing atmosphere... (although i dun really like them)
ironic huh...
maybe grab tze kiat and leong to go for drinking session soon?
lol...
is this the result of mental stress?
well...
who knows... (even i myself dunno)
maybe yes, maybe no...

back to army life...
out field (something i hate the most in army life) starts at end of july...
followed by 3 weeks Brunei training in the September...
zZz...

oh well...

gtg

till next time...

MV of the day : " Beethoven's Ode of Joy"

Nichiren Shoshu ex-communicate the Soka Gakkai becos Ikeda Sensei allowed the playing of this piece (a Christian piece of music) in a Buddhist meeting, saying tt its a slander to the buddhist law...

how absurd!

its just an excuse!
a lame one...

monday

2008-06-30T21:29:00.003+08:00

30th of June...

a very significant day...

the exact day for the formation of student division (if i remember correctly)
back in 1957...

30th of june...

is a very significant day too...
for the Spaniards...

becos...

SPAIN WON THE EURO CUP AFTER 12 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats to the Spaniards :)
guess wat...
i actually stayed up to watch the match between Germany & Spain...
both teams were good...
i think Germans' defense were rock solid...
was able to break the tempo of the waves after waves of attacks by spain, which i think...
a million thanks to the midfield of spain...
it is them tt orchestra most of the attack moments...
if david villa is around... the final score will not be just 1-0
fernando torres, the lone striker... was given many opportunities...
but becos there's only one striker (or rather target man) the german defense just have to mark him... (like i say, i think its the Spaniards' midfield tt turns the tide around)

well...
i'm not a fan of spain...
i'm a hardcore england supporter, softcore (sounds wrong huh hahaha) italy supporter...

BUT!!!

Both teams were out so early :(
England didn't even managed to smell the group stages of the best 32...
:(

on the lighter note...
got to noe tt 12th of july is ASD's ConneXion!!!
yeah!!!
its play time for the ASD!
this ConneXion will serve as a graduation ceremony for the graduates to next phrase of student's training...
Comrades like Melvis, Jun Jie, Shuli and company will be graduating at this ConneXion...
will be sending off teck qiang, thai leong, eunice and other ICs going off as well...
get to meet graduated comrades (maybe)...
pple like sikang, wei de, stella...
(are they coming back for ConneXion? they better do... lol)

this ConneXion will be fun...
i will make it happen!
even if it has to plan everything in Hendon camp...
i will do it!
this is a promise...
:)

anyway gtg
tml will be a new day...

MV of the day : " 期待爱"

俊杰:my life 一直在等待
空荡的口袋
想在里面放一份爱
why 总是被打败
真的好无奈
其实我实实在在
不管帅不帅

俊杰金莎:想要找回来
俊杰金莎:自己的节拍
俊杰:所以这一次
俊杰金莎:我要勇敢大声说出来
林俊杰金莎:
期待期待你发现我的爱
无所不在我自然而然的关怀
你的存在心灵感应的方向
我一眼就看出来
是因为爱

我猜你早已发现我的爱
绕几个弯越靠近越明白
不要走开
幸福的开始就是放手去爱

lol...

2008-06-29T00:40:00.003+08:00

i wanted to write something...
for the sake of writing or watsoever...
but then...
dunno wat to write oso...

one of the few things tt happened to me this week...
is...

I GOT MY SILVER WING!!!!!!!!

yes...
this silver wing...
it is the prize of jumping thrice from static line parachute from 1000 feet...
the red colour thing behind the wing is only for commandos...
external units tt went to jump will not be able to have the red thing...
so...
theoretically, i'm a paratrooper :)
however...
i missed one of the mod 2 training (jumping with 20kg combat equipment)
hence i was taken out of mod 2 jump...

my third jump wasn't as good as my first 2...
different aircraft, different speed...
has caused me to have a negative punch out of the aircraft...
resulted me to spin like a drill bit,
which, as a result, caused my specs to fly off from 1000 feet...
as for myself, becos of my spin...
the parachute spins as well...
causing it to have a bad twist...
a bad twist prevents the parachute from opening fully, hence can be quite dangerous for landing...
but thanks to all the "shoten zenjin" , i'm still walking now...

as for why i was taken out of mod 2 training is becos...
i didn't passed my IPPT (something like sec sch's nafa test)
hence BTW wanted to let me out of course becos all dun think i (or rather the total of 6 of us) cannot pass the test, after we didn't do physical training for so long...

but hey...
all of us pass it well...
so BTW bo bian...
let us go back to jump...
in the middle involves lots of politics la...
but these politics are belongs to the officers...
doesn't concern me hahaha

anyway...

i was looking through leong's blog...
finally...
he has write one entry liao
after half a year...
but watever he wrote doesn't make sense to me...
but good to noe tt he writes...
hahaha

come to thik about it...
many of us thinks tt our lives are boring, meaningless, so monday etc...
well...
our lives is just like an artist with a paint brush...
how u want ur life to be painted depends on urself...
if u want ur life to be as colourful as possible...
then paint it!
it is all the challenges tt we meet each day tt makes our life colourful...
when u're defeated by the obstacle...
ur life will just be painted with the colour u hate the most...
(for me, my life will be pink in colour, when i'm defeated, becos i HATE pink colour)
life will only be in black n white when ur lives have reached a stalemate...
if u think u have too much $$$ to spend, n ur life is so meaningless...
then...
spend $$$ n learn scuba diving...
go try out life in another world...
the aquatic world :)

anyway...
i've made a few new resolution...

1.) Get a driving license... (i'm loosing my trust n patience on public transport, grrrrh...)
2.) learn japanese... (i want to go japan)
3.) get a shatterproof specs

i'll be clearing leave...
only booking in on tuesday night...
more time to write stuff...
so i shall stop here...

until then :)

MV of the day : " Gary Cao and Vivian Hsu's I Still believe"

The Purpose of Study [A quoted article to encourage u guys :) ]

2008-06-22T14:46:00.003+08:00

this article is written by SGI President Ikeda
extracted from the book called "The Way Of Youth"

:)

here goes...
Question : Sometimes i feel so hopeless and pessimistic. What can i do to increase my self-confidence?

Sensei says :

First, pls understand, life is long! The way things are now will not last forever. even if u have problems, even if u have made mistakes or have done things regret, your whole future still lies ahead of u. dun worry endlessly over every obstacles or problem. above all, do not despair or be defeated by you impatience.
Nothing is hopeless. the worst mistake u can make when young is to give up on a dream, to not challenge yourself for fear of failure. the past is past and the future is the future. keep moving forward with a steady eye on what is ahead, telling yourself : " I'll start from today!" "I'll start fresh from this moment!" this spirit, staring from the present moment, is the heart of Buddhist philosophy........

and there are a few more parts of the answer to the question. Unfortunately... the writer of this blog (yes its me) is too lazy to type everything down, becos he's typing too slowly... (still using the pray mantis way to type computer :X)

hope u guys enjoy this...

until then...

MV of the day : "小时候"

A time to share :)

2008-06-22T00:13:00.002+08:00

share a piece of good news for u guys :)

tk's still walking on his 2 legs till today!

becos on friday tk had his first and second live parachute descent from chinook helicopter at approx 1000 ft !!!

tts a shiok experience of a lifetime!
by right, i should be able to get my silver wings by friday, becos criteria of getting a silver wing is to jump 3 times...

but apparently...
i only managed to jump 2 times...
becos my 1st jump was cancelled due to limited time...
but nevertheless...

tk's a paratrooper!
:)

details of my 2 jumps?
ask me...
i'm too lazy to type here...

till then :)

tk's quote of the day : " The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next. "

tk's MV of the day : " I'll do anything "
(though its a very old song, its one of my favourite :) )

the lyrics...

Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting

And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand

(Chorus)
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cuz somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
And never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again

(Chorus)

I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana (....)
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana (....)

(Chorus)

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
Cuz I know
I won't forget you

Student Division Nationwide Meeting 2008

2008-06-14T21:39:00.003+08:00

this blog entry is dedicated to all ASDians :D

today is SD's nationwide meeting...
which marks the commemoration of the formation of Student Division 51 years ago on the 30/06 by Soka Gakkai's second president Toda Sensei...
at tt event (51 years ago) while Soka Gakkai was still labeled as the organisation "for the sick and the poor" coal mine trade union made used of their authority to retrench Soka Gakkai members who worked as mine workers then...
as soka gakkai members were mainly the poor, very few of the gakkai members were not holding positions big enough to protect the members...
hence members at tt time were like "meat placed on the chopping board, ready to be sliced anyway the butcher wants it"

the objective of Sensei is to cultivate intellects to become leaders of the society...
so he told the crowd of 500 youth tt time tt half of them to be managing directors of companies and the other half (250 la) to hold doctorates, so as to voice out, or even challenge any unjust ruling, to help the needy...

enough of history, lets talk about abit of "facts" which i have observed...
while we were receiving education, it is our parents tt work their guts out in order to send us to school...
quite a number of pple around me are parents who did not receive good education in their youth, now they are really working hard to send the future generations to study...

so...

intellects like us should remember during our schooling days (or education days) it is the not so intellect pple tt supports U to school, so pls................. pay back to society when u hold important positions in society, by looking after these not so intellects (usually are the poor) whom didn't get a chance to study more...

tt is why Student Division has a Motto...

"Young Eagles, be true leaders of the people"

well...
switch scenes to today's event at HQ...
today marks the new beginning of the student division, and me as well...
i was appointed as a Campus In Charge (CIC) today...
a role which is not much of a difference to me when i was Student In Charge (SIC)
becos...
teck kiang somehow or rather have made all SICs in ASD share burden with the CICs,
so for me its just a change of name only, mission will still remain as the same, perhaps even more responsibilities later...

speaking of teck kiang...
he has finally graduated...
not tt i dun like him...
its just tt its been years since his batch of ICs have graduated...

i will say tt it is him, together with jih yang and jia yang tt really create an indestructible foundation for today's ASD...

i can still re-call the days when 3 of them were still ASD's IICs (Institution In Charge)
3 of them were the generators of ASD's growth, backbones and spines to the institution's establishment...
3 of them formed a wonderful tag team to the institution...

Jih Yang, the usually soft spoken one...
will usually be the one in charge of searching guidance, sharing study materials, giving encouragements to us etc during our institution meetings...

Jia Yang, will usually be the one doing all the institution's "SK" (sai kang)
which is the admin work...
like calling up members to attend meetings,
updating the members' particulars,
booking rooms for meetings and discussions,
and the person who runs the show (institution meeting i mean)

Teck Kiang, will usually be the one doing all the home-visits...
i dun get to see him as often as jih yang and jia yang during meetings,
but i noe he's always out there encouraging members...
among these 3 wonderful ICs, i feared him the most...
(becos he's too "Garang" liao)

anyway...
today is the day of the graduation of comrades...
who used to fight against own fundamental darkness along side by side with me,
who used to crack their brains out in order to think of the best way to encourage the rest,
who used to sweat it out when they go "Hollann" (which means lost) with me during home visits...

its kinda emotional to see pple so close to me advance...
while me standing behind and watch them go...
(without advancing...)

wee yong and me still love those good old days, with the rest of the 1988 batch of ASDians
ASD Connexion must be a yes for july (usually its June)
to send off these graduates and to welcome the year 1s...

as for me...
Mission will carry on...
counting down to 2010...
the year which i will take off...
to Kosenrufu frontline as a better fighter!

i resolved to bring institution meetings to those who are unable to attend due to various reasons!!!
(if u come can't go to the mountain, let me bring the mountain to u!)
this is not a threat...
this is a promise :D
u're damn right i'm determined to do so...

:D

tk's quote of the day : " Poverty is nothing to be ashamed of. What's disgraceful is to have an impoverished heart or to live dishonestly. Being born in a stately mansion is no guarantee of happiness, any more than being born in a shack dooms one to misery. "

AIRBORNE!

2008-06-08T19:30:00.002+08:00

as tk began his next phrase of training course (Airborne course), over at Hendon...

no doubt he began to compare Hendon and PRC (Pasir Ris Camp)...

firstly...
as Hendon camp got no malays...
there is no need to cater muslim food,
hence the meals over at Hendon contains PORK!
other than breakfast, the rest of the meals will contain PORK indiscriminately :)
oh yes... even night snack contains PORK (Char Siew Pau)
the quality of food over there is...
bagus! (great in Malay, if i spelled correctly)

but the cookhouse is miles away from the barracks...
hence just by marching over to the cookhouse will be tiring...

secondly...
the camp is 10 times bigger than PRC, i'm only accessible to a little part of the camp...
and its more ulu than PRC, even though bus no. 29 can reach there...

thirdly...
trainers over there are very good...
their training stops at 5pm :)
after tt will be OTOT :)
by right i can have nights out every single night for the month of june...
but becos i was caught booking in late (by 26 mins) on the first night...
this privilege is being taken away :S
i book in late becos i went to have a HV with Jih Yang over at tiong bahru...

BUT...
nevertheless...
tk will continue to fight!

anyway today went out to relax with kiat n leong...
leong's so high today...
cos Rubin bought him a wallet...
as for kiat...
HE"S GOING OCS!!!
so lucky hor...
(but somebody's been pestering him, and leong and me aren't very happy about it)
(btw happy belated birthday to kiat! he's 20 on the 6th of june)

for me?

well...

Airborne all the way le lor :S
(to tell ya the truth, i'm kinda scare when need to jump from 1000 ft)

watever le la hor...
need to book in liao...

till then...

MV of the day : "Low" (yes, tk does listen to english songs sometimes)

AKE

2008-06-07T11:26:00.003+08:00

remember i was from aKe?

well...

i finally understand wats the meaning of “前人种树，后人乘凉”

the current batch of pple got a chance to have its very own concert in school,
the current batch of pple have got a chance to go to "Brisbane" (according to Wikipedia, its a place somewhere in Queensland, Australia)

these 2 things used to be my dream, which i hoped i can accomplished, during my 4 years stay in MI.

the idea tt came to me about the own concert came from MCS...
when they won some drama competition (or whatsoever) they put up a ticket sales performance in school...

when our aKe had emerged victorious in SYF 2005, i thought, perhaps we can have a ticket sales performace as well...

it never happened...........................

when aKe had a performance at Lau Pa Sat...
one hong kong tourist came over and saw our "weird" instruments, and told me tt perhaps one day, our ensemble can go over to hong kong for some exchange programme (or something like tt, becos i couldn't understand his accented english) and passed me his namecard...
i passed the namecard to the teacher ic, hoping tt maybe one day aKe get to go overseas for a student exchange (of music), just like how NJC's chinese orchestra did years ago....

well...

it did happened...

but i'm no longer around...

as for why i put the statement “前人种树，后人乘凉” its becos the current aKe pple consist of 3 years...

only the year 3s were "operational" (got into competition and win before) the other 2 levels were simply "untested" or inexperienced in the "champion type of training" we received years ago...

no doubt they have various performance and had some performance experience, majority of them are still competition shy...

it will only be until next year (my ORD year :) ) tt they may have a chance to have a taste of "standard" performance...

(btw... i'm not jealous over watever happened to aKe now, really) in fact, i feel honoured to be one of them to pave the red carpet way for them :)

anyway, aKe finally has gotta an Alumni set up...
however, need to pay $$$ of $60 per annum (i think) - . -|||
joining the CCA in the first place is becos i dun wanna pay for anything...
but if i wanna continue to meet up with all of them regularly to continue playing music...
need to pay money liao :(

well... i shall quit grumbling over aKe liao...

tk has embark on next course in NS...

AIRBORNE!
(all the way)

MV of the day : "退后" (featuring S.H.E's Hebe)

Exercise Starlight (13/05 - 31/05)

2008-06-01T12:39:00.005+08:00

Finally i get to blog again...

its been a long trip...

landed on 高雄 international airport on the 13/05 at around 6am (if i remember correctly)
there is no time difference between taiwan and singapore...
but their 6am day looks like our 8am day

the first impression i have for taiwan starts at the airport...

"boy the airport smells like shit"

dunno wat causes tt shity smell at the airport but it definitely doesn't smell nice...

gotten a 2 hours bus ride to 恒春, where the camp is...
got to see the wonderful scenery of taiwan's southern part :)
didn't get any photos taken here as i'm busying sleeping (ha)

one culture for taiwan will be...
they simply just love 槟榔 (betel nuts) to the max!
the number of 槟榔摊 there is as many as the number of rubbish bins u find here in Singapore...
(and i'm not exaggerating)

though there are lots of 槟榔摊 in heng chun...
there is none 槟榔西施 over there...
heng chun is all full of ah soh (aunties), ah ma (grandma) and kin na (small kids)
very very very little teenagers :X

get to go outfield the second day (14/05)
to do service and support for the leaders course's navigation exercise
its on the one of the many many hills there...
managed to took a few pics on the place there (even though i'm not supposed to :X )

the rest of the days were all just missions after missions for the leaders,
as we are there to be the "enemies" for the leaders...
our mission continues like theirs...

sleeping at 8pm, waking up at 1am to prepare for raiding...
setting up traps and props during the day...
no life at all at tt point of time (吃不饱，睡不好）
details of the missions cannot be describe here as its highly sensitive
(its a military thing)

the thing fun about the outfield will be the ninja van visitng us...
no matter how well we can hide in the vegetation, they are still able to find us :)
food sold on the ninja van is really good...
but the disgusting part will be...
the oil they used looks older than me :X (now tts how unhealthy it is)

and when the R n R days were finally here!

went to 佛光山 in the day...
feel like a shaolin monk over there (lol)
spent the first night at 高雄...
guys like me who doesn't really like shopping went on a mini shopping spree at 高雄's 六合夜市...
guys tt like shopping went stalls by stalls to eat, buy accessories or watever things over there...

tk's guide for good food : at 六合夜市, look out for this fruit juice stall (its a 路边摊）with a cube shaped watermelon at its stall just in front of a 7 eleven...
order their 木瓜牛奶 for NT$50 (around SGD $2.50)
and u'll get to taste the world's best 木瓜牛奶! (i can guarantee tt)

at 六合夜市, i get to try the infamous fermented bean curd (臭豆腐)
the smell of 臭豆腐 is like rotten fish in fish market, or overnight garbage, but the 臭豆腐 is really crispy and all the sauce and gravy tts added to it make it taste really sweet...
the aftermath of eating 臭豆腐 will be...
the smell of "rotten fish in fish market, or overnight garbage" lingers in ur throat for a long time :)

tried their Si ling chicken cutlet...
its very filling (not to mention big)
watever si ling chicken cutlet u find in Singapore are all bullshit...
go taiwan urself and taste the REAL si ling chicken cutlet...

went to have fun at the 剑湖山 and try out the amusement park there... get the balls to try the "G-5" roller coaster ride, where the roller coaster went up, and plunges down near 90 degrees...
i felt tt my heart was being left up there (心痛 leh)

heading towards 台北 the next...
got to buy lots of local stuff along the way...
spend the night shopping at 五分埔 night market...
五分埔 is the place where u find clothes, clothes and more clothes...
pple like me who does speedy window shopping (those 走马看花 type） need 2 hours plus to finish all the stores over there...
imagine if u drop a shopoholic there...
i can assure u...
she'll need a week to finish walking through... :)

went to taipei's 忠烈祠 to view the change of guards from the taiwan's military.
忠烈祠 (Martyrs Shrine) is the place where they honour all the war heros who sacrifice their lives to win the war...
the change of guard is very good...

(this is not the one i've seen, but its somewhat similar)

headed to 故宫 next...
if the palace museum's treasure in beijing is rated A,
then 故宫's treasure will be rated as A***
故宫's treasure are all first rate treasures there...
my favourite piece of antique will be the 玉翠白菜 of from the qing dynasty ...

as taking pictures are not allowed in 故宫, i took this from the web :)

this 玉翠白菜 look really real...
its like taking the real 白菜 and plastic it...
tts how beautiful this piece of artwork is...

one of my friend asked for a gift tt symbolises taiwan... i wanted to give her 玉翠白菜, but as u all noe, this is national treasure... if i attempt to take the 玉翠白菜 out, i will not be able to reach singapore alive... lol (got her a replica anyway)

at afternoon...
went to 九份老街 for another round of shopping...
at this time, i'm out of cash already...
(yup, 3rd day of R n R and i'm broke already)
borrowed NT$2000 (around SGD $100) to continue to spend, lol...

last day of taiwan (yesterday)
went to taipei's 西门町 for a walk...
西门町 is taiwan's Orchard Road, Bugis village style...
(only its 10 times larger)
as its saturday afternoon, there are lots of pretty girls around :)
the quality of the beauty is nothing i've ever seen back home...
tired out the famous 阿忠mee sua over there as lunch...
its...
good i will say, try it out...

after tt...
i went to Soka Taiwan HQ for a visit...
as there are meetings going on, can't really went in...
went to the sales department instead, which is located at the separate building 2 blocks away...
had a chat with the WD at the sales counter there...
discover tt they are building a new HQ in taipei located opposite of 故宫!
(i remembered there a very big construction site opposite 故宫, so tt construction site is our
building... lol)

after this...
nothing interesting happened after this, touched down at Changi Airport this morning at 0030 hr...

with this i conclude my report on my taiwan trip...
i took some pictures from my phone... poor quality though...
will attempt to load up here soon...
with tt... adios!

Just what name should i give to this entry...

2008-05-12T13:34:00.005+08:00

wat bothers me when i blog is to find a "unique" name for each entry...

i mean...
if blogging is about daily life,
then why would need a title in the first place?
wat else will u wan a title?

Sunday, sunny?
Monday, blues?

i find tt even weirder (not to mention harder to register into the brain)

anyway...
back to my main entry...

MAN U WON THE EPL TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW~

they did extremely well...
too bad Chelsea didn't win...
becos the team manager simply isn't Mourinho
well...
too bad for Chelsea...

Hope Chelsea will lose again in the Champions League final at Moscow at the end of the month :)
so that Man U can be double champions ma...
;p

there's something tt is annoying me recently...
i has happened for quite a few times already...
its my specs...
from the one i started to wear after SYF 2007,
(which is one year and one month ago)
i have changed a total of 3 specs!!!
yes...
a total of 3 specs...
the reason is becos...
they are all spoilt to the extent that it is beyond repair
:(
need to waste so much $$$ on the re-making of my specs...

12 more days to the day of ASD's maiden Major production since 2004...
the HR (human Revolution) festival...
i can't be at the actual place to support them...
DAMN!
being the "longest sit warmer" (or the longest stayer) in ASD, can't even be there on the actual day is really really really sad for me...

the campaign is very hectic, i can even see all the main appointment holders (the over i/c of various items la) getting out of steam soon...
i so wanted to be included in the production to really share their burden...
however...
i can only help them this much lor...
i'll take responsibility for the campaign (if they fail)
a million thanks to my overseas SK (Sai Kang) trip to taiwan

speaking of taiwan...
my flight is 12 hours and 30 mins away...
and i'm still not done with my stuff...
(even though i told her i'm done with packing... does tt mean tt i lied to her? opps :X)

left with some small small things to slot in...
(guess i didn't lie to her afterall, lol)

well...
all the best to tk's taiwan trip...
all the best to ASD HR festival production...
all the best to all those out there, trying to win a war against obstacles, devilish functions, inner weakness etc etc etc...

i'm a happy man

2008-05-10T03:04:00.004+08:00

today (09/06) didn't do anything much, except went to the school to visit Miss Wee (Auntie)

i was browsing through my phone's calender and i realised Auntie Wee's birthday is next tuesday, the day i step foot on Taiwan 高雄.

so i decided to buy her a present...
well...
its the most "lork cock" present i ever give to anyone...
there's a "pasar malam" (night market in malay) locate near westmall...

so i went there to take a look...
i remember she likes mango...
so...
me and leong bought mangoes for her...
lol...
hope the mangoes are sweet...
becos the the cardboard on the store for mangoes says : “包甜” (sure sweet)
the mangoes better be...
or i'll complain...
lol...

anyway...
payday's here...
and wat makes me elated for the whole night is becos...

I FINALLY GOT MY COMBAT PAY!!!

its amount to $300..
simply becos i've passed my BAC ...
this $300 is for parachuting...
and plus the "backpaying" around $400+
with my rank pay (still collecting recruits' pay :S )
my total salary is........................

NEAR $1.2K!!!!

wow hahaha...

never felt so rich before...

as my family has poverty down the bloodline...
we are used to being poor...
a sudden surge in $$$ (by abit) will look as if u just won a million dollars worth of "ToTo"
i'm just s easily contented...

well...

daybreak soon (ya right)
gtg...

2008-05-07T17:31:00.005+08:00

wat a day today...

finally my long awaited "block leave" has arrived...
this leave was supposed to be taken just after BMT POP (around March)
but this 4 and half days was only given today (a total of one week's leave was given
during BMT)

wat am i gonna do for this 4 days?
basically...
its kosenrufu, kosenrufu, and kosenrufu...
ASD HR festival (the biggest production done by ASD so far) is on the the 24th of May...
[and i'll be starring as the enemy of the leaders at Taiwan at that day - . -|| ]
so gonna really help them with watever i can,
before i go Taiwan...

i was happy tt i can go Taiwan, but on the other hand, was quite sad tt i cannot really join in this production... the production crew have already been so hectic, but yet i can't share their burden...
guess i can only send them daimoku and daimoku, for the absolute success for this month's ASD institution with the attendance of 200 students/new friends and the growth of each and everyone of ASD :)

anyway...
one piece of good news!!!
i finally passed my BAC selection!!!
BAC is Basic Airborne Selection...
all commando privates are required to be airborne trained before they can be commandos...
really thanks to "Power Gel" and Shoten Zenjin for my green light to go earn my silver wings...

this is wat i'll get after my completion of BAC (roughly around end of june) if nothing life threatening happens to me (lol)

now isn't tt pretty...
"Silver Wings upon our chest, show them WE are the BEST!"

by now u all should have realised i've changed my skin to this chinese painting template thingy...
well...
i find this unique...
so cina...
i like.... lol

i oso added a "new" section...
its "MV of the day"
my choice... whether u like it or not :P

gotta go!
no time to lose...

Chinese...

2008-05-03T00:38:00.002+08:00

i receive a story/document/article about love...

but i'm just too lazy to read...
somemore everything's chinese...
will take quite a bit of time to digest wat it says...
but i noe its something about love la...

well...

anyway...
here it is...

爱的感觉，总是在一开始觉得很甜蜜，
总觉得多一个人陪、多一个人帮你分担，
你终於不再孤单了，至少有一个人想著你、恋著你，
不论做什么事情，
只要能一起，就是好的，
但是慢慢的，随著彼此的认识愈深，
你开始发现了对方的缺点，
於是问题一个接著一个发生，
你开始烦、累，甚至想要逃避，
有人说爱情就像在捡石头，
总想捡到一个适合自己的，
但是你又如何知道什么时候能够捡到呢？
*她适合你，那你又适合她吗?
其实，爱情就像磨石子一样，
或许刚捡到的时候，你不是那么的满意，
但是记住人是有弹性的，
很多事情是可以改变的，
只要你有心、有勇气，
与其到处去捡未知的石头，
还不如好好的将自己已经拥有的石头磨亮磨，你开始磨了吗？
很多人以为是因为感情淡了，
所以人才会变得懒惰。
错！
其实是人先被惰性征服，
所以感情才会变淡的。

*在某个聚餐的场合, 有人提议多吃点虾子对身体好，这时候有个中年男人忽然说「十年前，当我老婆还是我的女朋友的时候，她说要吃十只虾，我就剥二十只给她！现在，如果她要我帮她剥虾壳，开玩笑！我连帮她脱衣服都没兴趣了，还剥虾壳咧！

*听到了吗？明白了吗？
难怪越来越多人只想要谈一辈子的恋爱，却迟迟不肯走入婚姻。
因为，婚姻容易让人变得懒惰。
如果每个人都
懒得讲话、
懒得倾听、
懒得制造惊喜、
懒得温柔体贴，
那么夫妻或是情人之间，
又怎么会不渐行渐远渐无声呢？
所以请记住：
有活力的爱情，
是需要适度殷勤灌溉的，
谈恋爱，更是不可以偷懒的喔！

*有一对情侣，相约下班後去用餐、逛街，可是女孩因为公司会议而延误了，当她冒著雨赶到的时候已经迟到了30多分钟，他的男朋友很不高兴的说：你每次都这样，现在我甚么心情也没了，我以後再也不会等你了！刹那间，女孩终於决堤崩溃了，她心里在想：或许，他们再也没有未来了

*同样的在同一个地点，另一对情侣也面临同样的处境；女孩赶到的时候也迟到了半个钟头，他的男朋友说：我想你一定忙坏了吧！接著他为女孩拭去脸上的雨水，并且脱去外套盖在女孩身上，此刻，女孩流泪了, 但是流过她脸颊的泪却是温馨的。

你体会到了吗？
*其实爱、恨往往只是在我们的一念之间！

爱不仅要懂得宽容更要及时，很多事可能只是在於你心境的转变罢了！
懂了吗？
当有个人爱上你，而你也觉得他不错。
那并不代表你会选择他。
*我们总说：我要找一个你很爱很爱的人，才会谈恋爱。
但是当对方问你，怎样才算是很爱很爱的时候，
你可能无法回答他，因为你自己也不知道。

*没错，我们总是以为，我们会找到一个自己很爱很爱的人。
可是後来，当我们猛然回首，我们才会发觉自己曾经多么天真。
假如从来没有开始，你怎么知道自己会不会很爱很爱那个人呢？
其实，很爱很爱的感觉，是要在一起经历了许多事情之後才会发现的。
或许每个人都希望能够找到自己心目中百分之百的伴侣，
但是你有没有想过在你身边会不会早已经有人默默对你付出很久了，只是你没发觉而已呢？
所以，还是仔细看看身边的人吧！
他或许已经等你很久喽！

*当你爱一个人的时候，爱到八分绝对刚刚好。
所有的期待和希望都只有七八分；剩下两三分用来爱自己。
如果你还继续爱得更多，很可能会给对方沉重的压力，让彼此喘不过气来，完全丧失了爱情的乐趣。

*所以请记住，
喝酒不要超过六分醉，
吃饭不要超过七分饱，
爱一个人不要超过八分

*那天朋友问我：到底该怎么做才算是爱一个人呢？
我笑著跟他说：其实每个人的爱情观都不一样，说对了叫开导，但就怕说错反倒变成误导。那就糟糕了！

*如果你也正在为爱迷惘，或许下面这段话可以给你一些启示：
爱一个人，要了解，也要开解；
要道歉，也要道谢；
要认错，也要改错；
要体贴，也要体谅；
是接受，而不是忍受；
是宽容，而不是纵容；
是支持，而不是支配；
是慰问，而不是质问；
是倾诉，而不是控诉；
是难忘，而不是遗忘；
是彼此交流，而不是凡事交代；
是为对方默默祈求，
而不是向对方诸多要求；
可以浪漫，但不要浪费；
可以随时牵手，但不要随便分手。

dunno who's the original writer of this thing...
but guess its well written...
(if not my friend won't it to send me... logical right?)

Public Holiday~

2008-05-01T16:21:00.003+08:00

its the first action movie (i think) which jet Li and Jackie Chan together as partners...
wat an happening and exciting cast...

wat makes it even better will be the female lead actress...
:)
she's none other than...
the all along pretty girl Liu Yi Fei...
she plays an lady martial artist cum pipa (or watever u all call tt) player.
her killer move will be her flying darts... (darts tt looks like dagger to me)
this golden sparrow (played by Liu Yi Fei) vow to kill the evil warlord who killed her parents when she was young...
and...

her moves are just so cooooooool!!!!!!

tk has come up with an equation to describe tt...

lady + beauty + cool moves = i like

lol...

as for my route to earn the red beret...
well...
finish my weapon course already...
currently counting down to my ROC trip around 13th May...
after that in june, will be moving over to Hendon to attempt to earn my silver wings...

2008-04-17T16:52:00.003+08:00

the days so far has been relatively ok...

i'm forced to cut my hair again...
after i cut my hair myself one week ago...

they must be crazy...
its a military barrack...
not some temples...
we are soldiers... (no longer recruits)
not some monks...

my hair now is slightly longer than those monks (who have no hair at all)
and slightly longer than recruits' hair (no longer than hair seedlings...)

went to range for live firing yesterday...
had a taste of firing MP5, P90 (both sub machine guns)
and a pistol "P7"

it was fun...
engaging targets as close as 10m away...
i will say the experience was really cool...
becos i shot down over 90% of the targets (hahaha)
compared to BMT, which i failed to get the marksmen...
will be going for range this saturday again...
this time for day and night shoot...
for all the other weapons which i had learnt...
which will total up to 11 types...
Sweet :)

life's not been the commando way since i gone over to the A Wing (A stand for Advance)
life's even not the same when the SSGs returned from the MSK manhunt...
it gets tougher?

HELL...

No...
hahaha...
it got even slacker...
morning PT session have been changed to alternate days (as compared to every day previous times)
one of the many moments, we MUST go to sleep...
right after our LUNCH... (its considered a punishable offence to be seen along the corridors of the bunks)
(u didn't see wrongly... its really go sleep after lunch)
ATW has been rearing pigs...
hahaha...
besides tt...
we'll get night's out almost night...
(is good, but kinda waste money)
and the best part...
he simply just deleted all our extras away!
(i still have one extra to clear for caught sleeping in bunk during training hours btw...)

anyway...
the SSG who make everything so slack...
is not a simple person...
why?
ask me personally...
:D

i simply can't wait to go taiwan...
different weather...
get to sit aeroplane for the 2nd time... (yes, tk's so poor tt the only time i sat plane was the cambodia trip in 2006)
and the best part...
betel nut babes... (lol jk)

basically, will be doing lots of admin and SK (sai Kang) work over at taiwan...
support B Wing OC...
and be the "enemy" for the leader course training...

heard from lots of frens who been to taiwan for training before...
they say girls over there are in hot demand for SG's nerdy soldiers...

so...

does this mean tt my "value" will tripled when i fly over to taiwan?

tt will be a good thing... lol
maybe i can find my true love over there...
hahaha...

speaking of love...
when will they come?
lol...

have been seeing guys in camp...
when i call pple...
oso call guys outside...
when i book out...
oso look for guys...
i'm turning GAY LE LA!!!

will some ladies plssssssssssssssssssss......
volunteer to call me?
will appreciate it very very very very much...
i thank u first :S

hmmmz...
enough of talking cock...
gtg...

tk's quote of the day : " my "gf" is in love, but not me"

lol~

the answer to the question...

2008-04-11T19:58:00.002+08:00

well...

with regards to the previous entry...
tuesday is CDOTI's (Commando Training Institute) 3rd anniversary...
we had a mini sports day tt morning and the rest of the day is off...
(tts why i can come back home, use the com to disturb pple lol)

well...
as the search for MSK (Mas Selamat Kastari) has toned down...
trainers tt are called up to find this idiot are returning...
which means the days of me slacking the whole day in camp doing "nothing" is coming to an end...
:(

one good news...

TK's GOING TO TAIWAN ROC!!!

it will be tentatively from the 13th of May to 1st June...
(around 15 days)

one bad news...

TK's BOOKING IN TML NIGHT!!!
:(
well...
its not my turn to find MSK...
neither do i have to be on standby...
becos i'm not operational yet...
its becos i, together with other 29 buddies,
have to go with the leader course pple to SAFTI for live firing...
the 30 of us are not going to shoot...
but to go there do "sai gung" !!!
e.g...
change target board...
load bullets into magazine...
area cleaning at the range...
doing sentry...
and the worst part...
pick up those empty bullet shells :(
imagine there are thousands of them around the shooting range...
and the shooting range is jungle terrain...
so bullet shells are basically everywhere...

poor me...

my next week's weekends will be burn off yet again...
as this time its my turn to go shooting range to shoot...
SIAN!!!!!!!!

tk's quote of the day : "君要臣死，臣不得不死"

我猜我猜我猜猜猜 !!!

2008-04-08T16:50:00.004+08:00

does anyone one of u wonder why my entry can appear at this part of the week, at this part of the day???

i'm an NSF (full time national servicemen)...
shouldn't i be in camp trying my best to keep up with the training?

is tk on medical leave?
did tk AWOL? (Absent without official leave)
and tk's not using any computers in military camp complex...

well...
i'm not going to tell u all...
lets play this game of guessing :)
(but i can assure u tk's not on AWOL, which is a chargeable military offence)

One year already?

2008-04-05T21:57:00.005+08:00

wow...
its been one year already...

for those who are clueless of this one year...
well...

this blog is one year old!!!
well...

happy belated anniversary to this blog...
which is one year old at 1st of april

well...
for those new readers (is there any of them out there i wonder)
i used to have another blogspot blog 2 years ago...
not many pple know it (in fact none of u knew about it)
tts becos i did not announce it to u all...
tt blog account is just a test blog to see if i can create one...
well...
tt was a failure...
partly due to my laggy computer...

then i turn to blog on friendster...
tts when everyone (well... most of them) in my friendster network starts to take notice of my infamous mocking, moaning, complaining, bitching, gossiping, procrastinating (many many ings so on and so forth) of tk's daily life...

i can still remember the main characters mentioned in the friendster blog (which has been deleted by myself)

they are...

my classmates...
used to make fun of them here in the cyber world...
hahaha
now when i feel about it...
its purely childish...
tt style of writing can still be found in the earliest part of mine current blog's archive (i think)...

well...
i must say tt the change from all those to this (not so mocking, moaning, complaining, bitching, gossiping, procrastinating etc etc etc...) is an important change for me...
i mean...
everyone sure needs a change right? (though not much of a change la... at least a change to a minimum lol)

with this i end it tonight...

before i go...
a gift for u all..
jay chou's latest song (i think)
the kung fu dunk's tofu song...
dunno exactly wat song is tt...
but... here it is...
chipmunk's version (its funny trust me ;) )

n here's the original version by jay chou himself :)

have a nice day ahead :)
