NCC Day Dinner

Went for the NCC Day Dinner on invitation by my YTSS CO, Mr Lee. Its really very nice of him to remember me and even to ask me back to join him in the dinner. Its quite a nice event. Got to meet some old friends, some ex-cadets, some of them whom I've trained before. Its good to see that everyone is doing well and progressing in their life. Didn't get to see many people from 42nd Intake, the last intake that I trained. Not many of them though but its good enough.

Surprised to see Chia Yujin. He is my senior. A guy I respect a lot as a senior. He's studying in UK now but came back during his holidays. Nice to see him again. Saw a lot of familiar faces too but can't remember their names anymore.

NCC has changed alot since I left. A lot more welfare now. More emphasis on things that make sense. No more coporal punishments but with that came a lot of discipline problems. That's what my juniors told me. Gone were the days where physical punishments dominate the day. Now its all welfare. Maybe its good, maybe its bad, I don't know. Not of my greatest concern now anyway, but I just wanna wish NCC all the best.

Wild Wild Wet?

Bty Cohesion Activity today~! Venue: Wild Wild Wet..... Sounds fun.... But reach there just in time for the thunderstorm to come... The pple there wouldn't let us go to the pool cuz they say its raining. But what's the big deal? Aren't we there to get wet? haha... Safety they say. Stood down there to look at the various slides and rides for 2 hours.... Finally decided to ask for a refund. Couldn't do that so that gave us re-entry tickets instead. Not too bad afterall.

Had dinner with Jas. On Budget, so use the coupon and ate at Yoshi... Times are bad. I'm looking at ways to earn money now. If anyone got any lobangs please feel free to contact me. I will do anything that's not illegal~! I want to earn more money~!!! Haha... 4th year Anniversary with Jas coming soon.... must earn enough money to buy her things... Don't know what to buy her yet. But if I have enough money, then there's nothing to worry about cuz I can get her anything she wants. Haha... all you pple out there remember to contact me~! haha... siao....

Paradox of Time

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways but narrower viewpoints.We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talked too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way too the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, but to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom, a time when technology can bring this letter to you , and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and and embrace will mend hurt when it comes deep from inside you.Remember, to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

FrUsTrAtIoN...

Though I am with Jas for 4 years already, sometimes I still feel that I do not understand her... I really don't know what she wants.... Whatever I do, never seems to be enough. Is she really too demanding? Or is it because I never share enough? I seriously don't know. She always get angry and unhappy with me over small little things. I am really very sick and tired of this. Sometimes I just wish to go out with her, have fun and enjoy each other's company... But she always choose to give a black face, get unhappy about some senseless stuff, and spoil the whole day. I hardly have time to spend with her cuz of work and whenever I have time, as much as I can, I'll spend it with her. And almost everytime, at one point or another, she will be unhappy about something. And the worst thing is that she never ever tell me what she is unhappy about! I am not God. I am not a saint. I am a normal human being. As much as I like to read peoples' action and gestures, I can't read peoples' mind! How on earth am I suppose to know what is wrong if she doesn't tell me? And like I say, she is always unhappy about very small things. Then how am I suppose to know what SMALL things I've done, that cause her to be unhappy? All I am capable of is to know that she is unhappy when she show a black face. Then I would have to start to find out what's wrong, keep asking her, then she gets more irritated cuz I do not know what's wrong, then I get more confused about what's wrong, then I get frustrated cuz I don't know what she wants, then she gets angry cuz I don't know what she wants.... And the whole happy day is destroyed.... just like that. She will try to suppress her unhappiness and ACT normal. I will try to make her happy and apologise for things I do not know. How much more fake can one get? I just wanna spend some preicous time with her happily. Is that too ask for? Why must she always make things so difficult?

She always expect me to tell her what I am doing, who I go out with and things like that. Well, fair enough. And I always try my best to tell her everything. And now there's a problem. A BIG problem. Now its not about whether I tell her what I am doing or who I go out with. Now its about when I tell her! She never tells me directly before but from what I can feel, she expects me to tell her exactly what I am doing and who I am with as soon as possible, if not immediately. But can't she understand that there's a time for everything, including keeping her updated of my stuff? Just take the day before yesterday for example....

I met up with some primary school friends for dinner, then was eventually being led up to this office and briefed about Network Marketing and stuff like that. After which, I hang around at the coffeeshop to chat with some other friends. I called her and she asked me what I was doing. And I told her that I was at the coffeeshop with my friends. Did I lie to her? NO I did not!

And yesterday, while we were having dinner, I furished her with more details about what I encountered the day before. Then she got angry. At first I thought she was angry that I was interested in the marketing thing. I kept asking her what's wrong but she wouldn't say. But after reading her blog, I finally found out what's wrong. She is angry that I didn't tell her that a female friend brought me to the company to tell me about the marketing stuff. But HELLO? Didn't I just told her that? Based on this scenario, I can safely assume that she expects me to tell her all this at the point in time when I called her. Might not be a difficult thing for me to do but then again, what would she be thinking if I just tell her that a female friend brought me to her company, and due to time constraint, I cannot explain to her fully the details of the encounter? WHAT WOULD SHE BE THINKING? Many things. Which is why I told her during our dinner. Which I deemed to be a suitable time for me to tell her the whole story so that she would not have any misunderstanding. But what did I get? A black face.

So based on this case study, an ideal way for me to solve this problem is to keep her FULLY informed of what I am doing. A good method would be to install an electronic tracking devices on me, complete with audio and video recording function. But that would be too expensive. So the next most effective method is for me to call her and update her on what I am doing constantly. As such a typical day would be like this: (using that day when I met my friend as a scenario)
Call 1 : Jas, I'm leaving camp now to eunos.
Call 2: I'm reaching soon, trying to find the parking lot.
Call 3: I am walking towards the coffeeshop to meet my friends.
Call 4: I am at the coffeeshop already. I am with friend A and friend B. Friend A is a girl, age 22, ex pri sch friend, fr same poly, recently just caught up with her, she's now working as a marketing officer. Friend B is a guy, age 22, ex pri sch friend, also sp, having dinner together also.
Call 5: I am having dinner now. Eating friedrice.
Call 6: Dunno why but she's bring us up to the office.
Call 7: This guy is talking to us about the network marketing. The details as such, blah blah blah...
Call 8: The guy finish talking already. Going down to the coffeeshop now to chit chat.
Call 9: 2 more friends join us. They are friend C and friend D. Their details are as follows: blah blah blah... Friend A is not with us anymore cuz she is having a meeting....

The list goes on......
Does this make sense? I am quite sure it doesn't. But isn't this the best way to keep her informed of what I am doing timely? If not I really don't know what else I can do!

If I never tell her who I am going out with or where I am. Then I admit I am wrong. But the point now is that I did tell her. Just that I told her a day later so that I can tell her everything clearly. If this is wrong, then tell me what's right. AND LET ME SAY AGAIN! I DID NOT LIE! Lying and telling her late is TWO damn DIFFERENT thing.

I am really very frustrated. GOD TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RuNNiNg aRoUnD~

Woke up early in the morning to meet Lawrence and Chin Lee to help them move some stuffs into the hostel. As expected, Chin Lee was late for 35mins... Luckily I anticipated it and left my house at 10am so that I'll reach Khatib MRT station at 10.15am. Poor Lawrence was on time and did all the waiting... haha.. Went to Khatib Camp to collect Chin Lee's fridge. Can't squeeze it into the boot so put it on the passenger seat... *heart pain* Next stop is Kranji Camp. Had to squeeze Lawrence's 21 inch TV at my front seat *more heart pain~* and a hi-fi set in the boot. By now my car is already overloaded. Too much strain on the engine *heart stop beating liao*

Unloaded all the stuff into their hostel at NTU, then went to Chin Lee's house at Bukit Merah to take keyboard, then to his gf's house at Buona Vista to take computer~... Then its back to NTU again to unload. Send Chin Lee back to Buona Vista before sending Lawrence to Thomson Plaza! Piangs... Luckily they top up my petrol earlier in the morning, took about 1/2 a tank to do all these running around. Really shack... Chin Lee and Lawrence you owe me one BIG one.... =P

Mum and sis wanna go Hong Kong, so brought them to Suntec for the travel fare to do the booking. I think because its a public holiday's eve, that's why there's A LOT of cars and people. The whole Suntec Carpark is filled up! No choice, gotta pay 4 bucks to park at Millenia Walk.

Watch the fireworks at night with Jas. Waited 2 hours for it. Its very nice~! I didn't get to enjoy it thoroughly though cuz I was busy taking photos. Walk all the way from Esplanade to Selegie to eat soya bean curd before heading home...

Damn tired... hectic day... long time never walk so much already... =P Maybe I'm getting old... hahaha....

Waiting for a place at Coffee Club... No place for me to be in the photo.... haha

Headache Day~

Had a really bad headache today. Was out with Jas in town when I suddenly got my headache. Hate that crap feeling... The kind of pain at the back of the head was unbearable. Anyway, went to have dinner with Geok and Elaine at NYDC. The food is not too bad, or maybe because I'm hungry... haha... Elaine was forced to treat us a mudpie... Thanx girl~ hehe... we should have MORE dinner together next time... hahaha...

Met up with Din, Hanah, and Martin to hang out at the new coffee club at the california gym... that place is gonna be opened for 24 hrs... Concept is not too bad, but service kinda sucks. Martin was damn angry with them cuz they made him wait damn long for his cake. When he confronted them, they told him that the cake was out of stock~! haha... didn't even bother to let him know... made him wait down there like an idiot. Bad day for Martin.

Probably going to Esplanade tomorrow to watch fire works... Still having my headache now... Gonna sleep...

MY FAVOURITE BIKE~! CB400 vTec III.... one more year to go... haha =P

I PASSED~

hehehe... cleared my Stage 4 today. The lesson today is kinda interesting. The instructor taught us different things. We were almost doing acrobatic acts with the bikes... haha... Now waiting to go to Stage 5.. probably gonna wait a bit... I'm progressing too fast. Haven't got my PDL yet. Pass Stage 5 also no use. Can't go on road. Hopefully I'll pass my Riding Theory Test in one go....

FaiLed...

Today damn sad... Went for my practical lesson and failed the evaluation. Can't believe I failed stage 4. So malu... Die lah... think I'm gonna stuck at stage 4 forever liaoz. Have to go through the whole circuit test route. I went through all of it without much prob. But when it comes to the narrow plank, I got problem. Actually its not really a prob. I can do it very well when the instructor is not around but when he comes round to take my timing, I start to fall off the plank... sighz... I am not even nervous or what. Don't know why so unlucky... always have to fall in front of the instructor... sianz... And when my narrow plank fails, my mood would be affected and that would cause me to fail my pylon course also.... argHz~! Have to retake again. Don't know when I will pass it..... sighz....

Went back camp disappointed. Gave my car a good wash, then head to Marina South with Isaac and Linus for dinner with the sergeants. Boss, Junxian and Wen Jin came slightly later. Ate the usual BBQ stuff. Actually I don't really like the BBQ stuffs there. So oily and a bit of disgusting. But no choice. They chose the place so I just ate a bit. Too little for the 12 bucks I paid. After dinner, all of them actually decided to go to China Black. I wanted to go too initially but after the dinner no more mood... kinda sianz, so didn't join them. Go home and sleep... haha

Reached home and call Jas but she's kinda unhappy cuz I made her wait so long for my call.... but I thought I already told her I will only call her when I reach home? Aiyahz... nvm lahz.... don't wanna argue... But then again I thought she could have called me anytime she wants to find out what I am doing... She's my girl afterall and has all the right to call me. Nvm... maybe she's having mood swing again. I shall be tolerant.

Going for my practical lesson tomorrow lunch time. I am determined to pass~!

BBQ at home~

Had BBQ with the usual gang today at my house. It was quite a bad start as it was raining really heavily. We were quite determine about the BBQ so we decided to go ahead with it. Went to grab all the BIG umbrella we can find along the swimming pool to shelter the BBQ pit from the rain. The security guard wasn't very happy but its not as if I really give a damn.

The BBQ went on well. All of them came. All brought real good food for BBQ. And poor Suresh was forced to fork out 35 bucks of sausages.... haha... Andrew purposely went to buy all the best sausages for the BBQ at Suresh expenses. Had lots of fun~! Made a lot of noise and the security guard was again not happy. Sighz... Singaporean just like to complain so much. But don't care lahz. Not as if they are gonna kick me out of my house.

End the BBQ session with Andrew's famous Tiramisu cake at my house. Everyone had a bite and it was finished very fast. Had a few games of card before we call it a day. Damn tired... gonna sleep now... zzzzZZZzzzz

Seeing BiKe aGaIn~!

Quite a few things took place today. In the morning, we had our promotion certificate presentation. It was very fun~! Not the promotion itself. Its about all those brothers who disrupted for studies all coming back for the event. Edmund, Cixian, Lawrence etc all came back. Didn't see Dave and Howe though. Haha... had so much fun crapping. That's us... full of nonsense, full of craps, always "suaning" each other. No one ever took offence about anything. Those who did were never allowed in the group anyway... haha... So there I am suaning Edmund about his thick lips, Cixian about his big "breast" and "scolding" Lawrence on things he doesn't even know.... haha... The event ended rather quickly and very soon, they were all gone. Back to the quiet camp again. Really miss all my buddies. One by one, all are gone. Very soon I'll be the only one left to get all the shit. Andrew's gonna ORD and will be gone to SIM to study. Suresh and Victor going to ORD and start their working career soon. Timmy's going to OCS. Linus going to Australia to study. Wen Jin's gonna work. Kervin's leaving too. Even Chan Ming, my boss, is leaving next week. No one to crap with me. No one for morning breakfast. No one to watch VCD in office together. No one to poke fun when I got nothing to do. Sighz.... The sergeants are all clearing leave and will be gone by Sept. Left me and my men. And they too are clearing leave cuz they are all gonna ORD. Very soon... I will walking around camp alone... Suffering in silence. Waiting for the new batch to come in. Then its all about getting used to them again... sighz.. Such is life... Shall not think so much....

Went to Boon Siew in the afternoon with Jas to see bike again. Finally its open. They were having some events down there but that doesn't bother me. In fact its better cuz the sales person were caught up in the event and have to leave me alone. Then I can try all the bike I want without the usual stares from them.... haha... Finally saw the Honda CB400 Vtec III. Its a damn cool bike~! The Hornet's not bad too... Now I will be in a dilemma. But never mind. That'll be one year later when i get my class 2A. For now, no worries. Its confirm gonna be a Phantom. Thought of Varadero but that's freaking expensive for a 125cc bike. Though it look big and robust but no use. The moment I start moving, people would know that its a 125cc bike. Get to sit on quite a few bike today. The Vtec III, the Hornet, CBR Fireblade etc.... Damn happy~! I like the sports bike! Jas think its cool too but she won't allow me to buy cuz she knows I'm gonna speed. Anyway, no one can promise not to speed with that kind of bike and with that kind of power beneath you... Ride a Fireblade at 90km/h? Then might as well buy scooter. Cheaper and can reach that kind of speed easily too. I'm really tempted now. Shouldn't have bought the car. With that kind of money, I can only afford a lousy car (which I am driving now) but with that same kind of money, I get easily afford a top class bike with lots to spare~! SIghz... nvm... shall not brood too much on the past. Now I should just concentrate on my 2B.... Fantasize so much also no use... haha.. Well but at least now I know exactly what I want, I'll works towards it~! Oh yar, I cleared my stage 3 and is going to stage 4 soon. 1 more stage before I hit the road. Martin ah... better buck up... I'm chasing you fast and furious from behind. hehehehhehe....

Watch the "House of the Flying Dagger". Advice: DO NOT WATCH. And I promise I will not watch any more movies directed by Zhang Yimou. Maybe I'll just not "cheem" enough to understand the movie. The fighting scenes were great. But there were like so "many" fighting scenes. The rest were about Takahashi and Zhang Ziyi having sex. Or was it trying to have sex? Don't know lahz. And the even more interesting thing is that Zhang Ziyi can't die. Hahaha... Maybe Zhang Yimou thinks that its not time for her to die yet.... piangz... crap... waste my money.... should have just rent some VCD and stay at home to watch.... For those who wanted to watch this show. Hold it. Wait for the VCD to come out.

Freaking tired now. Going to sleep. Tomorrow still got BBQ.... haha... =P
