end of block leave, end of x'mas, end of 2008...soon

Dec 2008 is finally coming to an end. It's been a rather eventful past 2 weeks where I had block leave, went to zinc's bdae party, had a 'peaceful' x'mas. 

My block leave period was during the x'mas week where I used 3 days of leave in exchange of 4.5 days out of office (because of x'mas celebration and x'mas day).  

Talking about x'mas celebration in the office, I had a great time during the celebration on the eve of x'mas! Guess what! The guys at my branch went carolling around the whole unit. It's fun lah! Going around the unit, from branch to branch, then singing christmas carols as a whole. Well, I must say we're not really good at singing, I'm not good either, but we really tried our best to make the carols sound nice. And I think it was quite a success. So, to round the carolling session up, we went over to the mess where other unit's personnels are holding their mini-christmas party AND we sang them carols as well. It was really fun and memorable as it was my first try at singing carols. 

Went over to zinc's birthday party a couple of saturdays back. Met up with several of the poly mates. Felt really happy after a long while of not seeing each other and I realised everybody has grown matured. From there, I learnt that azuan's actually in bert's BMT company as a storeman. What a small world! 

Watched a few movies recently also. Basically, those more popular ones like Bolt (both the 2D and 3D versions), Ip Man, Yes Man and The Journey to the Centre of the Earth (3D). And also, Body of Lies and The Duchess. Hmm, actually, I watched the Journey...Earth (lazy to type the whole title lah, damn long!!) twice including the 3D version. I watched it again because firstly, I forgot that I watched the movie.Opps!! And secondly, it was x'mas eve, no plan for that day, so I decided to watch it with kit who was rather pissed with something that happened to him last night as a form of compensation. The 5 other movies were pretty good as well and my favourite 2 movies of the 5 are Ip Man and Yes Man. Ip Man's a nice action film with some light humour. And Yes Man's a movie that's quite a no-brainer, and it should be a film where u get to the theatre, have some snacks and laugh your ass off the lame and not-lame jokes from the movie. Not forgetting that it also promotes a good information which is to say YES in life. As in, to approach life positively. 

Last but not least, I went out with wai, lil and zinc on sunday to have a nice meal and some bowling and played arcade as well at marina square. 2nd time having meal at pasta de waraku, its nice, but somehow i wasn't in a good appetite to eat alot. Could be because I had alot of snacks while watching The Duchess. And the bowling session after that was quite screwed up. No thanks to the machines that the bowling alley is using. Nevertheless, I had my best score EVER in bowling. Felt so good! But I guess its just Lady Luck's riding on me bah. Went to tried this particular game, which  is something like a Street Fighters' tetris. Never played before, but it was nice. And I played one of my favourite game, Virtua Tennis. It's always so mental draining to play it, but I still can't clear the tournament stage again. 

Tomorrow's the last day of year 2008. Time flies. Here goes another year, and army's 60-70% for me le. This coming Jan 2009 sees my seniors ORD and the next batch will be mine!! HAHA!! Finally the time has come, and it's one which I will be greeting with mixed emotions. 

Anyway, tomorrow will be a day to be made memorable BUT I've got no idea what to do yet. Shall let the events just flow bah.  

been abt a fortnight since i last blogged

yeah, its been quite a while since i last blogged. Since the week where I have my unexpected period of MC. Since I'm now called a chao keng kia. Quite hurt abt that new nick though. Wanted to be one but was never one and I'm sure I've did enough to showed I'm not one but gossips are always bad. And this is just one of many bad gossips. Well, I'm going to pay less attention on all these shit and I'll be FREE after 7 more months! Urgh!

Wanted to blog last week but due to my laziness and my indulgence in this new mmorpg called Dekaron and FM09, expected!, I didn't blogged until today!!

I remembered I had a short chat with bokai on msn 2 weeks back. It has been a really long while since I chatted with this poly fren of mine, haven't seen him since the end of poly, haha! We were talking about the future. Life after army. And he was saying about he wants to study and that he don't really see a future for himself at the moment. How true! Exactly what I was thinking about also. At the moment, I really don't know where my future lies. With ORD quite soon to be approaching, I haven't quite have a view of what my future will certainly be. I don't want to be job-hopping after ORD. I don't want to move on aimlessly again. Enough of that for me. Seriously need to look out for options out there and draw out what possibilities I can have. The financial crisis certainly didn't help. 

2 years of army is a LONG time and if after this 2 years, I'm still unsure of what I want to do in the years ahead. It will make the 2 years all the more useless. What I should be glad shall be that I still have 7 months to think through. Actually, I do know what I want to do after army. Its how I want to go doing it that's bothering me. Been planning to do studying. Because I'm very sure if I start working and not study after army, possibility of me going back to studies after a short period of working life is as good as 0. Hmm, shall take it a step at a time. *Haha, I think my sloppy attitude still hasn't change.*

The love-hate situation for me about my unit is just like a roller-coaster ride. Everytime the 'love' feeling comes, the hate feeling is just around the corner. At this present moment, its the hate feeling that I'm having. Which means the love feeling is coming soon! Things are not really nice at the moment, work's piling up, and I get to see different natures of people. One moment, he can seem really nice, the next moment, he can f*** you for no reason. 

I've got so many things that I want to buy! Let's name it. A laptop with better specs so I can play more games. A mini hi-fi set so I can enjoy music in my room. A new pair of specs because my current one has been with me for ages. And lastly, my urge to pierce my ear is back again!! I'm not sure if I really want to pierce my ear but I just want to try out. It will not be a permanent thing but what really prevented me from doing it is I'm uncertain if the hole will close up after some time when I don't put any studs or ring to it. Sometimes, my indecisiveness helps. Like for this case about piercing ear, I'm glad I haven't pierce, just in case I won't regret immediately after I've pierced. 

This friday got a half-day off. Woohoo! Given to most of the guys in the branch after our line-dance performance at the unit's D&D. Been thinking of what to do after we had lunch outside(we won $200 as consolation prize, so its going to be spent on lunch). And I've decided to go to gym! To my usual gym spot at tampines sports complex. Time to have a real good workout! 

It's a uber long post and most of it are grumbling. Super late le. Tomorrow's start of a new day of war. This war will go on till 27th july 2009 when I ORD.

3rd day of unexpected MC

i'm on MC since Tuesday thanks to this illness called helmes zoster, basically its just a recurrance of chicken pox. Its infectious to people that didnt have chicken pox before. Hence, I was given 4 days of MC. 

But I'm not happy about these 4 days of MC because I need to avoid seafood & heaty food for 2 weeks. Urgh!! Seafood ah, I can try avoid them lah BUT heaty food are heavenly food for me eh! Never mind, its just a 2 weeks. After that I can be able to eat all the food that I want to eat. 

I can't wait for my xbox 360 to arrive in my house!! I'm getting it so-called for free because of the singnet broadband that I signed up. 1 more week, and I can play xbox le. Woohoo!

Feel like getting a new mp3 to replace my current sony mp3. I've been using it since poly year 1 or 2. The battery keeps going flat way too fast for my liking. I need to recharge it every time I used it. Recently, I just saw a sony 8GB mp3 which cost $189 but after checking the model out, its quite an old one. So now, I'm going for the new sony 8GB or 16GB mp3 or the ipod touch, not sure if i should consider classic as well, classic's should be a good choice for me because of its large space so being lazy, I can throw a whole album into the mp3.  

juz feel like writing something

while i'm waiting for this lame video clip called Go Rangers to load on Youtube and transferring my files from desktop to my portable hard disk, i decided to blog. 

Its quite troublesome to transfer files from my desktop to my hard disk, 'cause the usb port for my desktop is spoilt and hence i need to use my laptop as a media to transfer files to my hard disk. Its troublesome!!

Today's quite a good day for me. Firstly, IPPT was cancelled due to Cat 1 status (meaning weather is really bad). I wasn't really keen to take it. I'll surely fail lah and I've got no motivation to push myself for a pass. So, best solution will be 'avoid' taking it. Remedial Training was conducted in place of IPPT. It's quite a casual workout but its a eventful one after a long time of not exercising. 

Then, on my way home, got 2 friends to accompany on the bus ride home. Chi Meng & Mukun. Super long never have a decent chat after our training days, which is about 1 year ago! After all, we're at different units now and all we actually said to each other was the 'Hi' & 'Bye' and casual talk. Hence, the bus ride back to Kallang was a pretty eventful one. 

Time for my Go Rangers video le!

random post!

OPPS! Just as I was preparing to type for this post, I accidentally press tab until the 'Publish Post' icon was selected and I pressed 'Enter' key. And so I submitted an empty post. Haha!

Been pretty lazy to blog recently. After coming back from unit, I will be just using my laptop to play FM08 (Football Manager 08), and now the recently released FM09. And I just do abit of surfing on soccer sites to get myself slightly updated with soccer news. I no longer have the urge to keep myself updated of soccer news. I just don't see the need to be so obsessed with soccer. Felt pretty like I'm a no-lifer if I'm too obsessed with it. So, as long as I'm not outdated with the news, I'm happy enough le. 

For the past 2 weeks plus, life has been pretty the same for me. Work at the unit from 8am-5.30pm. Came back home in the night, and playing some games to chill. And for weekends will be meeting up with kit and huat on saturday and catching up with hanzhong on friday. 

Recently, I've been thinking alot during my free time. Was thinking about what I should be doing from now till my ORD. Thinking about how I should approach everyday. Thinking about what I should be doing after ORD. And if I were to go studying, should I do it in Singapore, Australia and what kind of course I should be doing. Think, think & THINK. And, I've not concluded anything on my thoughts. Oh well, I should take it a step at a time, slowly sort out my thoughts and be decisive. 

a bad headache for the coming week

Argh!! What's with me today!! First, I realised my work in the unit went wrong after an error which happened at the early step of the procedure. So I had to re-do it and at the same time HOPEFULLY meet my target. Phew! That's a really tough task to accomplish but hopefully i'll improve with this mistake. With determination, I believe I CAN DO IT..albeit with the help of my teammates. :)

Well, I'm kinda disappointed at myself because not only did I made an error. But I made one which needed the help of my co-workers to help me solve the mess I created! I don't like to trouble others whenever its possible for myself to handle the situation. But right now, without the helps of my co-workers, I DEFINITELY can't finish before the deadline. Hence, I'm feeling guilty for pulling them into the act. To lessen their load, I shall work harder so that they can do less work. 

To make things worse, I actually thought of a nice title for this post on my way back home! BUT I forgot the name just when I start this post. Haha. 

Currently watching this Channel 8 show which shows the less fortunate people living in Singapore. Every single episode is so touching and it should make people feel fortunate enough compared to the people aired in the show. Those people on the show are either less educated, having low-IQ or having some form of physical or psychological disability. But really, it felt good to be normal and its good to stay contented and be grateful for what we have and our surroundings.

U Had A Bad Day

Morning's the start for THE bad day of the week. First of all, I forgot to bring pass which is necessary for me to enter the base for my dental appointment. So I have to wake up earlier to get my pass in the unit (I'm having a half day OFF, so I don't really have to be back in the unit) and then make my way to the base.

Next, the 2nd bad event occurred. The bag which I'm carrying today always has a camera. I knew I'm not supposed to bring any camera device into army territory so when I was packing my bag, I was having 2nd thoughts as to whether I should remove the camera from my bag. My final decision was to just leave the camera inside the bag. And that's where I created the opening for the bad event to occur. On my way to the medical centre, I need to pass by a guard post. So, I declared my prohibited items(PSP, MP3, camera). And upon hearing something by the name of the camera, the people in the guard post wanted to confiscate it. My pleads of suggesting that my bag to be kept at the guard post was rejected. I told them it was for my D&D which was later on in the day. But they had none of it. So I abided their instructions. So after the painful experience of doing filling for my teeth (which is too grose for me to describe), I went to HQ to ask for instructions regards to the camera. And the personnel in there allowed me to take back my camera after hearing my version of the incident (I did not twist any truth of the incident as I described). So I went back to the guard post and they re-confirmed with the HQ after that. However, what happened next was what made me pissed. I had to wait for 30 mins as my camera was 'on the move' (better not to explain too detailed information in here, haha). First of all, apart from my dumbness of bringing a camera to the base, I don't think I did any thing wrong. I suggested for them to safe-keep but they rather confiscate. I mean I did not try to force my way in with a camera. I did not fail to declare. So why should my camera be confiscated and 30 mins was wasted just like that. I was actually in a rush to meet the guys for lunch and make our way to HortPark after it. And I was late for the meeting, I dropped my drinks on the floor which delayed abit of time and we need to take cab down to the place as we're running late. So bad events snowballed and I'm the cause of it. Haiz. But I'm glad my friends felt that I wasn't really in the wrong for the camera incident.

Lastly, during the D&D, we finally managed to finish our line dance, well I wouldn't say perfectly but its really a pretty good one where we did not make any mistakes and the crowd was feeling high! (Part of the high-feeling crowd is from my unit though, haha!) However, the team only got a 3rd. I mean, we seriously weren't that bad. The whole team was great lah! Best performance ever loh! First time it went perfectly without any single major mistake. I'm quite alright with losing to the 2nd place team because the female singer was great! Never thought that lady can sing that well! But to lose to the 1st place team made me felt our result wasn't what we deserved. They had a good package when presenting themselves while our introduction speech was more of a casual and relaxed one. That could be the decisive factor?? I don't know. I guess I sound like such a sore loser. Laughs. But after weeks of practices, changes made, tonight's performance is one to be remembered but the end result wasn't fantastic.

Anyway, that's the day for today. What an eventful day it has been!

ranting..

Quite PISSED with myself today...i didn't prepare myself well enough for the guitar lesson today. Haiz, i need to plan my time better so that i can have enough time to practice guitar, relax by watching tv & get to rest enough so i won't be too tired for work in the unit. 

I'm not practicing enough everyday and i'm still not getting used to plucking the strings well to produce a nice & clear sound. Oh well, i'm sure with more practice i sure can play guitar well de. I need better coordination with my 2 hands. I guess its because of myself starting to play guitar too late bah. But I can do it!! Can de! 

time passes by rather fast

Today's the ORD day for 2 seniors! so happy for them, finally they can move on to their next step of their lives. But on the other hand, i'm kinda sad yesterday because i dun like parting & separation, just hate that kind of feeling. 

Good comments were given for their performance appraisal in the office, glad that they've good comments so that the appraisal can aid them in getting a job in the society. Hopefully i can get equally good comments. Not easy but i shall give in my best. 

To think its almost a year since i came to my unit, and i'm left with 9 more months to go to my ORD. I'm having mixed feelings about ORD. On 1 hand, i'm happy because i won't need to do stuffs that i don't like anymore. But on the other hand, i'm still not quite sure of what i decided to do after ORD. I hope i don't need to work straight after army because this is my last chance of being able to study. I mean, i don't think i will have the motivation or determination to study after getting into the working world. 

Oh well, 1 step at a time bah, no point thinking so much right now. Now's the time to figure out my future a step at a time. Any wrong move right now definitely will be suicidal. 

Yesterday, most of the madams & the NSFs went for a lunch outing at Cafe Cartel to celebrate the seniors' ORD. Hmm, i wonder where will my ORD celebration be held at. Crystal Jade lah, Billy Bombers lah, and even Ajisen also can lah. Just nice food will do. 

Anyway, during playing of basketball today, i acidentally got scratched on my arm, the scratch is 2-inch long & yet i don't feel any pain at all. It was only until i took a glimpse at my arm then i realise i got a scratch. It's been quite a while since i enjoy playing basketball but i need to improve my playing skills, its quite bad but i enjoy doing the defensive work like stealing the ball away from the opponents. Haha!

I'm abit unhappy because of an incident which happen today. Maybe I looked too much into that incident. Perhaps I should learn to stop thinking too much about minor stuffs and made myself miserable, unhappy. Haha, alright, back to game le, its weekend! Time to enjoy & relax!

best ever day in army

I totally enjoyed today in the unit! Haha, how often will an NSF enjoy national service so much. Its because of a combination of being able to slack officially and less time spend at work. Plus I get to eat KFC and pizza in the office without paying for it!!  

Dunno why today one of the madams' so nice, willing to fork out $100 to treat the regulars & NSFs. Thz alot ma'am!

And because of the line-dance practice, lunch was indented and the guys had lunch after the dance practice. So our lunch has actually eaten into our normal working time, hence making it a longer break. That's a very good bonus le, I'm more than happy with this arrangement. 

I tried to stop myself from being tense up with work in the office and tried to chill. It felt alot carefree and really felt good. Its good to have a positive change. Previously, I was too caught up with the work, and seriously didn't try to interact much at all. I do chat in the office, but definitely I spent way too little time interacting. 

Definitely a good start for the week! 

juz unhappy

it takes me like 3 tries to decide what to put as a title for this post..well, the title says what i feel abt things that has happened this past week. 

lets see..how should i start...alright..basically 2 things that really made me unhappy. First thing was abt the junior that i scolded last week. Somehow i always end up being very impatient with him. I tried putting myself in his shoes to try see what is going through him as he learns as he work ( there's no such thing as luxury of time to learn when u're in my office, haha). But once again its his attitude that pissed me off. I mean every single work-related problem he will ask for my help. And the more he ask, the more impatient i get. But its like, i'm not really a pro in what we're doing!! Yes, i definitely have more experience in our work than him BUT look for the madams there rather than me lah. Its not that i don't want to help, its about why he get my help than the madams'. He said "You got experience mah, thats why i ask you." And with that statement, he can always put the blame on me if what I told him turns out to be wrong. I thought to myself, i'm juz more experienced than you for a few months and as a NSF, how experienced can I get? 

Anyway, after a weekend where we don't need to work, he can forget where he stop previously for his work. He can also forget things he learnt easily. And he's not trying any ways to help him cope with his poor memory, like to write notes, etc. I just hope he don't always look for me when there's errors with the work, and I better change my tone when speaking to him (he's the only one in the office where my tone doesn't sound pleasant when i talk to him). 

There's this madam whom i think practice favouritism. Obviously i'm not one of the favourite workers thats why I'm unhappy, haha. But then again, when favouritism is practiced, I think there's the feel of un-fairness and unhappiness. Especially if the treatment given can become too biased. Anyway, I never thought favouritism will occur at this stage of my life in NS, because I thought favouritism will not happen after schooling years. AH! maybe i should stop looking into these minor things that make myself unhappy. This matter is not going to be important to me in anyway, I should've just ignore and forget about all the office politics when I'm outside the unit. 

I'm letting too much of small things that happened and eventually let it take over myself and made me kinda emo nowadays. Not sure how I can change it but I definitely must change so that my life will be a happy one than a sad one.

Recently, I chatted with the person whom I wanted to avoid on msn. I'm kinda surprused that I ended up chatting because before the person talk to me, I thought to myself that I will still avoid talking to that person but somehow I decided not to, and ended up talking to that person. It no longer feels like chatting with a good friend anymore, I felt like just having a normal hi-bye chat with an aquintance. Well, somehow I'm glad that I didn't avoid talking because it will make myself look petty and actually the action is childish. Haha. 

After 2 plus months of training pull-up, I'm finally sooo close to being able to do 1 standard pull-up. In fact, I managed to do 1 pull-up after playing basketball. Really felt so happy!! I proved to myself even with the restriction of motion by my right arm, I can still do pull-ups. However, I think I pushed myself too hard because my arms are aching badly now. I've been doing pull-up twice a day for the past week (once after 1st parade and once during tea-break), I hope I can be able to do at least 3 pull-ups by the end of the year. Jia you!!

Next week there's a batch there's going to ORD. All the best to you 2 when u go to the working society. 

weekdays are coming..

Went to SGH for medical appointment on friday, woohoo! Simply love it! No need to go to the unit in the morning, just need to go to SGH for the medical and return to the unit at 2.20pm and left unit at about 3pm for Games Day. Best weekday as an NSF ever. 2 more medical appointments coming up. Met jing nan up to get chun wai's present in the night. Too bad i didnt get both the gifts i wanna get. In the end, i manage to get only 1 out of the 2 presents.

Went to chun wai's birthday celebration on saturday evening. Sorry for staying only for about an hour and didnt give 'face' when u offered the food. Dunno lah, i just felt rather awkward and didnt help at all. So, i left rather quite early. Anyway, hope u like the present that we got for u.

Today, i went to play wii with kit and huat at cineleisure. Haha, both kit n me cant even get into the Sonic racing game that we wanted to play. Even needed help of a kid that is maybe 6 years old. (really felt pai seh loh) Anyway, we cant play that sonic game because we found out that we used the controller the wrong way(controller should be held perpendicularly rather than vertically when playing racing game). At least, now we have better knowledge of playing wii. We rented the wii console for 1 hour so the playing time was quite short but its nice playing it though. Next, we went to Isetan in Shaw Towers because i wanna get some models to place in my display cabinet. The cabinet's still empty, and is waiting for me to put some companions so it won't be so lonely lah. In the end, i got 4 models, thanks to the 20% sale that isetan is having.

I need to take some time during weekdays to practice my guitar and to fix the models that i have in hand. Still having difficulty at playing guitar thanks to myself being lazy to practice often. I need time management badly! As for the models, i've 6 at home right now, none are fixed. So, i should set myself a target of fixing 2 models by this coming week. Hopefully, 1 model will be done bah (provided i stop being lazy).

For people wondering why i STOPPED going to msn, its because i wanna avoid a particular someone. I don't really wanna see her nick pop up when i go online. (could've just block her actually,haha) My actions is childish but i just felt like doing so. Haiz, im such a contradicting person. Now that she's busy with studies, work n relationship, i guess lesser time to go online bah. Anyway, i figured out my thinking le so i don't see a point in avoiding u anymore. Furthermore, FM2009's coming out soon and that means i will be using com more often and playing it will be more important than to avoid you.

Tomorrow's the audition for the Dinner & Dance. I really hope we can get through with our line dance performance. Its for the possible 1 day-off as well as a challenge for myself to see if i can learn a new activity in a short while (started picking up line-dancing 2 months back, my reason back then was actually purely for the 1 day-off). I was kind of shocked and delighted when mdm sabrina (our dance teacher and the pro) decided to put me in the 1st row. I was quite slow in picking up the dance at first but i practiced at home and managed to keep up with the group. It's nice to see that my effort of practicing at home paid off but i still feel im not that gd to be standing at the 1st row for the dance.

Hope this week can be a smooth sailing week and...LESS WORK PLEASE!!

Not a good start AT ALL after MC week..

Well, i guess i should have anticipated how much work will have piled up in the office waiting for me to do after a week away from the unit. The work that i need to do can be enough to keep me busy for the whole week (its not even wednesday yet!) and perhaps occupied for next week as well. Damn! Seriously hate that!

Not that i still hate the work that i'm doing like when i first came into the office. Now, i'm pretty neutral about my work and sometimes can be quite hardworking but still can be blur about certain jobs issued. Nevertheless, 1 thing i'm proud of myself is that i'm hardworking. So far, i havent heard any bad rumours about myself in an environment where rumours can kill!

Today's the 2nd time that i got so ANGRY about the new batch of juniors. News about them since the training period weren't good at all. But things never changed after they got into the office. Minor problems occured between the juniors occured. Just today alone, 2 incidents happened between myself and a junior and it happened to my friend as well.

During our lunch, the junior happened to say something nasty to my friend. Normally, that friend of mine is actually gd-tempered, a joker and a ultra-friendly guy. So happen today, that junior stepped on my friend's toes that he couldn't take it and he decided to have a talk with the junior.

As for my case, partly due to my short-temper that got over me, partly becoz i couldn't stand my junior's working attitude. This is how it happened. This particular junior is supposed to be my understudy for my job. So today, i let him do a bit of work (he complains that its alot though!) with the help of SOP. That job he's handling is 1/4 of what i'm doing for today. I don't blame him for popping alot of questions, since its his 1st time doing it, Don't blame him either for doing it slow, coz i'm not that fast at my job anyway(i'm not as fast as my senior that taught me the job). BUT, what i can't stand is that he make himself sound stressed and make himself sound hardworking and goes slacking way before its time for us to book out. I'm not expecting him to be like me, as in, in terms of work rate and hardworking. But at least be like his fellow batchmate.

When the juniors first came in, i was asked to teach that junior some work as well. Well, I wasn't happy with his attitude as well, so i said some harsh words to him just to make him realise its important to prioritise the work allocated with time to slack(thats always the problem with this batch of juniors). Now, i'm impressed with this junior, coz his work looks good, and he's efficient. Very happy that he changed for the better. I'm not really sure this junior, that made me pissed today, will change for the better, cause if he don't, i'd rather suffer more with all the jobs given than to give myself more headache with him at the turtle pace he's working at.

Urgh! Actually this isn't the 1st time that i'm pissed with him, but he can't be bothered with my complaint at all. I noe, with the allowance we're given, there's no motivation to work hard BUT seeing people around u working hard is still a good form of motivation bah. Alrite, felt better after venting my anger out. Anyway, a good news to brighten up today. Rumour is that the tyrant cleaning auntie is SACKED! WOO HOO! Time for celebration! Its party time!

Happy turned disappointment

I went to watch Painted Skin with HanZhong n his fren (HZ did introduce her to me, but i didnt remember her name :p). Anyway, the presence of his fren is the disappointment that i felt yesterday. Becoz the person whom i tot i will be meeting is someone else, n that someone else is actually a gal whom i tot looks pretty on photo (juz imagine a bespectacled Dawn Yeoh, thats the impression i get from looking at her photo). So thats why i was happy with abit of excitement when i noe i might be seeing her but it turned out otherwise yesterday.

Anyway, apart from that, i realise i need to 'learn' how to communicate with gals again after being in army for a year plus and my time outside army is almost totally spent with either my parents or frens who are guys. Like for example, there was this short moment where HZ went to the toilet, leaving me and his fren waiting for him. Instead of trying to strike a conversation with her, i end up playing my psp. Shy?! Dao (snobbish)?! i dunno..but i juz noe it's not right doing so but i dunno why i end up acting that way still. No wonder bert says playing psp is an anti-social activity. Alrite, conclusion derived is that i should hang out more with gals, haha.

Anyway, Painted Skin's look like quite a gd movie from the casting, but apart from that, i dun think its a nice show. The plot's decent, a bit draggy actually, n nothing constructive can be obtained from the movie. Somehow, I managed to get a constructive view from Vicky Christina Barcelona. I went to watch that movie with my cousin and its a poor movie but wat i can take from the movie is that u can plan a perfect outcome for ur life, but as u move on in life, things changes, n as much as u wanna make that perfect outcome possible, ur life wun happen that way and by being stubborn and sticking to that plan for a perfect outcome can only make ur life miserable and tat was wat happen to one of the character in the show.

I finally got my hands on 1 album that I've waited for weeks. Can't wait to listen to the whole album on my mp3. Wanted to get monopoly and lego yesterday oso, but there's no lego series that made me eager to put them in my display cabinet and the price of those limited editions monopoly is $79.90! Seems quite expensive to me, but maybe after a few weeks, i dun mind paying for it.

Today's Saturday and that means its 2 more days to going back to unit...I DUN WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK!! Anyway HZ, gd luck to ya training in taiwan, take care!

Going to my grandma's place soon le, havent visited her for months le!

satisfaction

hmm, FINALLY! made some changes to my blog again, slight ones though, coz really dun like the tagbaord that i have, keep having pop-ups, irritating! so i go for cbox. wat i want to do is to have a customize tagboard, and since cbox has tat function, im fine with it.

going into my 4th day of MC le, havent really been doing anything really useful other than creating a blog and other stuffs i do include watching dramas and watching champions league till early hours in the morning. crap! im not making full use of my MC period. cant go swimming yet, my gum still bleed a little when i spit, haiz..recover quickly plz, my dear gum!! nevertheless, i shall do some chin-ups and sits-up later.

after i had my lunch juz now, i saw this kid asking this chinese young couple to help him buy some cigarettes, and after he got his sticks from the man, he went into the shop to get a lighter after he kept the cigarettes in his pockets. And wat happen next is tat i saw the emotions on his face and he look anxious and was looking around frantically. (wahahaha, scared then dun buy lah :p) however, the shop sold all their lighters away, so the kid had to go to 7-eleven to get the lighter instead, so as soon as he get his lighter, tuh-duh! he became 'brave'. Out came his cigarette, n he began his smoking therapy. No idea why i paid attention to random situation like this, maybe im too bored le bah.

should have go out more often so that i can relax and get some fresh air(the air's not that fresh actually) but im not really feeling tat great, been feeling abit nauseous, dunno if its becoz of the medicine, dunno if its my mentality coz i HATED medicines VERY MUCH! So, i decided not to take my medicines le, and my parents supported my decision. feeling slightly better after doing so, but not fully recovered yet, and after going to lil's blog, saw some nice-looking food! but i guess if i have these food in front of me, i'll have difficulty eating it la, im chewing on food on the left side of my jaw coz im trying to treat my right side of jaw to be paralysed as i dun want food particles to drop into the hole on my gum, it would be troublesome to remove it.

weekend's coming!! havent plan of wat to do yet, but right now, time to go for some exercise!!

finally i create a new blog...

huh! finally im 'hardworking' enough to sit down at my desktop, explore blogspot, n create a blog! Wah, i really need to read up on html or any computer language that blogspot's using. Take me about 3 hrs to try to get it to how i want my blog to look like. Its v v v long lah...but anyway at least its close to what i want *claps claps for myself*

well, if not for my wisdom tooth extraction which gave me 5 days of MC, i doubt i will spend few hours to do create a blog lah. Hmm, lets talk about the tooth extraction yeah. I got it removed yesterday, n in the morning i was a little scared abt the surgery thx to yin ki for telling me abt the sgt from airforce who bleed profusely after his tooth extraction and had to be send to SGH for further follow-up after his tooth extraction(not sure which teeth he extracted) and after hearing that i'm freaked out. It doesn't help to have ppl in ur office to who explained their wisdom tooth extraction encounter and a senior who 'tries' to scare me even till the last moment i left office for PLAB for the extraction surgery.

The surgery took 1 hr and the waiting time for my medicine is a further 30 mins (medical centre- can u like be more efficient!! coz if ppl were to be really sick, n need to wait for ur medicine for 30 mins?!?! i dun think its going to be any helpful lah..). I shall not explain how the surgery goes bah. Its never a gd experience when u hear sounds u dun really like hearing. But anyway, im quite lucky since nothing bad really happen to me, the decayed wisdom tooth was successfully removed. However, this morning when i was brushing my teeth, parts of my wisdom tooth feel off while i rinse my mouth. Damn! Juz as i thought the dentist wasn't that bad apart from being rough, he didn't even clear up my removed wisdom tooth well. Oh well, i can only blame myself for choosing PLAB to do my extraction bah.

Anyway, i thought this 7 days (including Sat n Sun) would be a gd time for me to get myself refresh to last the final 2 mths of the year, instead i think i will end up having diet that i dun want to take and having difficulty with my mouth movement. Aiyah, shall not think so much, as long as i stop bleeding asap ah, i should be happy le bah. Yeah, i should! :)

Havent been eating enough for these 2 days le, feeling v hungry now! Grrghh!! Cant really taste food now with my condition and with my gum still bleeding im not really in the right mood to enjoy eating. (dun care lah..what's most important is to 'save' my stomach from growling)

Tonite's Gunners match against Porto, come on lah Gunners! Time to save urself from humiliation le!
