a dAy at tHe rAnGe....
Was at Nee Soon Range the whole of today. Gotta be Neutral Officer for some live firing stuff. Boring. Very sian.... I really hate standing there the whole day, looking at pple fire. Decided to come home to twang abit.. Tomorrow morning then go home. Gonna have a visit by some important VIP. Better sleep early so that I can present properly tomorrow... actually I also don't know what they want me to present... sighz.... react according to situation tomorrow lor.. as usual.... haha...
Been looking around for a nice bike recently. Phantom is affordable and stable but too "ah pek" liaoz.... everywhere also can see... kinda boring. There's not much sports bike for me to consider cuz I'm only getting a class 2B. Scooter is out of the question. I'm too large for the wheels.... haha... and I don't like the look. Wanted to get a Ducati but that's like the Ferrari of Bikes. And if I can ever afford a Ducati, I won't need to sell my car in the first place already.... hahaha... crapz... Just happened to notice a bike call Raptor 125 by Cagiva. That's like the BMW or Volvo of Bikes.... and its actually quite affordable! More expensive than the Phantom of course but it has a look that kills~! haha... don't know yet lahz.... Don't even know if I would really buy a bike or not.. Get the license first then say lor. Still got a long way to go.
I think I will be applying for the 2005 Intake for SIM. Currently considering the BSc Mgt and BSc Biz. That's the only 2 courses that interest me. The rest have accounting elements and that's probably gonna kill me. Still deciding. If I am really gonna study, I'll need to take 3 years no pay leave to study at my own expenses. haha... gonna be damn poor. Anyone got job lobang for me? Anything also can. SIghz... life is getting tough. So much decision to make. One wrong move will affect my whole future. No time liaoz. Can't drag anymore. Going to be 23 soon and if I really study, by the time I am done, I'm already 26! piangz....I intend to get married before 30 one lehz... like that where got enough money... hahaha... How I wish I am back in pri sch again. Don't need to think so much. Just study and play.... haha... I'm old.....

saTuRdAy....
Went back to camp early in the morning as usual... Discovered that no one was back in camp... which means I could have easily "disappear".... sigh.. should have slept longer... hehe.. Anyway, had breakfast with LTA Koh. Been quite some time since I last had breakfast with him cuz he was on exercise. Went home quite early after that. About 10.40am. Waited for the new sofa to come. Quite nice. Can hold more ppl. Straighten it and you can use it as a bed... haha...
Had lunch with darling as usual. Don't know what's wrong with her today. Everything was fine until when we were about to leave my house. Don't know how it started also. Its about the helmet thingy. She was angry that I did not tell her that I bought the helmet.... which left me very puzzled. I mean come on, didn't she know that I have taken up the bike lesson? Isn't a helmet a basic essential of learning bike? So what's the big deal about getting a helmet? If she is angry because I hide something from her or don't let her know that I bought a helmet, then she got all the reason in the world to be angry. But the point now is that I did not hide anything from her. I don't find it necessary to specially inform her that I bought a helmet. Not that I disrespect her or anything. Its just that I think this is a small issue and I can easily bring it out to let her know during any casual conversation. Which is exactly what happened today! I told her about it during our casual conversation today and brought out the helmet thingy. And she got angry cuz she say I didn't tell her? I'm confused at that point! Didn't I just told her I bought a helmet? What's the problem?
I really don't know what to do. I do so much things everyday and buy so much stuffs everyday. How would I be able to remember to tell her every single thing? Does anyone has any advice at all? Do I really have to keep a log book to log down every single thing that I do? I really feel that I did not do anything wrong for this case. She was angry. I was even more angry. When I asked her what happened, she can even tell me that there's nothing wrong... just that she is being unreasonable. What am I suppose to do??? Com'on darling... I know that you are being unreasonable. Don't tell me things that I already know. Tell me things that I don't know! And for this case, the thing I don't know is why are you still angry when you know for yourself that you are being unreasonable? Why must you make an orginally beautiful weekend into a terrible one? I really do not wish to quarrel. I have no intention to make her angry. I have no intention to hide anything from her. I really hope that she will be able to assess things more effectively and decide for herself what is right and what is wrong, what is reasonable and what is unreasonable.
I really feel that its damn dumb to be quarrelling over such unreasonable things. If she wants to treat this as a big issue, then so be it. To me, there's nothing more that I can say. Gotta sleep soon. Still have to go for my Theory Lesson tomorrow. Gonna start practical lesson on Monday. So excited. Anyway I've been eyeing the Honda Phantom. If I'm really gonna get a bike, its probably gonna be a 2nd hand one. Pay everything in full then I won't have to worry about the monthly instalment anymore.

no title is also a title....
Told Jas about me getting a bike license. Read her blog just now and found out how unhappy she was. I hear her. I know what she meant. I know her concern. And above all I know all the danger out there. Maybe she is right. I can always choose not to get a bike or a car. Just take public transport. Much cheaper. Don't need to think so much. Just sit back, relax, sleep and enjoy the ride. All the bike and car thingy are just luxury. Partially correct. There's definitely more to it.
First let me justify why I wanna have my own transport. Let's not look specifically into bike or car. Just transport in general. The very first thing is that I am a regular. I have work to do. Very often I need to go from camp to camp for meetings, trainings and all sort of crap. Having my own transport means I can have a free play of my time. I have time under my control. I am not restricted by the uncertainty of public transport. I do not have to walk all the way from the main buildings to the main gate, then walk another long distance to proper civilisation before I can see some public transports. I do not have to wait for taxi, I do not have to wait for bus, I do not have to wait for MRT, get into one, then got stuck cuz there's some damn problem with the track. All these are precious time to me. I can do so much more things with all those time. Tested and proven. I can do so much more things within a day compare to a friend who have to take public transport all the way. Ask any working adult out there and they'll confirm with you that time is precious and we don't have all the time in the world to do things.
Having my own transport also mean that I can go anywhere I want. I won't have to worry about going back late or anything cuz I know I always have my transport to bring me home. The convenience is always there. I can send my girlfriend right to her doorstep then slowly make my way home. I can go all the way to her doorstep to pick her up for movie. I can go to her school to pick her up after lessons and send her home or go for dinner. All these within a short period of time. I really can't see myself spending 10mins to walk from my office to the main gate, another 10mins from the main gate to the MRT station, 5 mins for waiting at the station. Get on the MRT and squeeze with ppl, then spend another 45 mins travelling to town! What I used to do in 70 mins, I can do it now in less than 30 mins at normal speed. 40 mins... I would have already finished a meal and got a ticket and own my way to do shopping!
Let's talk about going back from town. 5 mins to wait for the bus, at least 50 mins to get to my gf house, 10 mins to send her home, wait another 5 mins for the bus, 20 mins to reach the MRT station, wait another 5 mins, then another 40 mins to my house's MRT station, 10mins to walk home..... 145 mins at least... I can send her to to her doorstep in 30 mins, reach home in another 30 mins. I can leave town at 10pm and still in time to reach camp, bath and sleep. Okie I think you get my point already... don't need to elaborate.
Now we come to why bike and not car. Simple reason. Can't afford to support my car anymore. 640 instalment, 300 petrol, maintenance 200, parking at least 50... all these costs excludes my hp bill, insurance and other craps... I can't disclose my pay cuz its classified but I can tell you about 3/4 of my pay is gone every month paying all these. Its not that I can't afford. But there's no room for any savings. I agree that buying a bike also mean a certain amount of cost. But compare with a car, bike is so much cheaper.
Having said all these view points of mine, I would not deny the fact that riding a bike is freaking dangerous. Especially with all the inconsiderate drivers in singapore, its even more dangerous. I don't need to be the one to screw up. I just need an asshole to lost control of his car and bang into me... that's enough to get me injured. The danger is obvious. The statistic can't be denied. I agree with what jas had said. I know she loves me and is concern about me. She just don't want anything to happen to me. She wouldn't even want to take the chance. She listed out a whole lot of disadvantages about riding and I totally agree with her... every single point. That's why I'm also in my own dilemma. Actually my concern is not so much about me having an accident and getting injured myself. I am more worried about having jas as my pillon during an accident. If there need to be an accident, I really don't wish anything to happen to jas... I can get injured for all I care but she can't. I don't allow. Which is why I told myself, as much as I can, I'll always ride alone.
Well actually all these are topics too far. I havent even got a license yet. One thing for sure. I've registered for the course and I will complete it. Whether or not I buy a bike in the end depends on my financial by then. I don't know.
My darling jas... I just want you to know this... I know you are worried about me. I can feel it. I can see it in your eyes even if you don't say it outright. You are my girl for so long, surely I can detect that strong concern in you. I know I always make decision without consulting you. That's a bad habit that I'm trying to correct. I want you to know that I have my own opinion on this issue too. Just be assured that whatever thing I do, I always have you in mind. Even if I really ride a bike in the end, I'll always have you in mind and ride safely for your sake. I know all these promises mean nothing to you now. But this is really how I feel.... I always wanted to give you comfort. I want to drive you around in a car. I want you to be proud of me. I want you to travel in comfort. But there comes a time when I can no longer afford such great luxury. So I can only settle with a small luxury.... I don't know if you understand what I said or if I even make sense in the first place... but these are true feelings....

Nice poem...
Not really in the mood to key in anything but I happened to see a poem written by a friend, Dalena. She's a genius... so good in writing poems... haha... hope she don't mind me posting her poems on my blog... its really very meaningful... :
Judge me.
Judge me by the outside, it's the logical place to start.
Judge me by the outside, you can ignore my heart.
Judge me by the flesh, don't you dare view my soul.
Your eyes can't take the wonders that my inside does behold.
Judge me by the outside, you very well know you do.
Judge me by the outside, for first impressions are true.
Judge not what I say, how I act, or the things I do.
No, judge me by the outside, anything else's too hard for you.
Judge me by the outside, since beauty is skin deep.
Judge me by the outside, not the secrets I might keep.
Don't pry into my heart, my soul, my knowledge and my mind.
Judge me by the outside, others don't you dare try find.
Yes, judge me by the outside, it's what most people do.
Judge me by the outside, the way I refuse to judge you.
Go ahead.

weeKend wItH jAs
Did nothing much this weekend. Its the end of the month and I'm broke as usual. But never mind, pay day is coming so I'll be revived again soon. hehe... Spent weekend with Jas as usual. Watch Spider Man 2 on Friday. Not bad, though the plot is kinda expected. Well, I guess the show is not so much about the plot, the content, or anything. Its just about Spiderman. haha...
Spent Saturday swimming at home. All the usual jacuzzi thingy. Went to City Link to window shop. Haven't been there for like such a long time. Was walking up and down the whole stretch... haha... End the day with 2 bowl of Soya Bean Curd at Selegie. Its very nice~! Super smooth. Never ate such smooth beancurd before. Even the one at Geylang also not its match. Haha... Good recommendation by darling. She treated me and even bought 2 for mum and dad. Scoring brownie points again... haha... =P
Sunday... Slacking at home as usual. Told you I am broke. Bought lunch for darling and we were watching some feng shui show on tv... Kinda interesting. But I wouldn't wanna believe everything about it.. if not life would be so miserable.. everything also have to watch out... haha... Intended to swim but ended up sleeping the whole afternoon. No more money to go for dinner so darling cook dinner for me at home. Maggie mee!!! Curry flavour. My favourite... haha...
Sigh... here we go again... gonna start another week... sianz...

Tuesday 29 June. As I am always back in camp, its is not possible for me to come back home to update my blog. So I shall just update it in my laptop and transfer it when I am back home.
Guess that make more sense than me trying to squeeze in everything in the weekend. Anyway, kinda free in camp these days. The major events are over. Live firing is done and most of the specialists are gonna disrupt for studies soon.
The men got nothing much to do too. Probably just waiting for ORD. That'll be March next year. Till then there's probably nothing much for them to do. Office is kinda boring. There's nothing much for me to do. Everyday also watch DVD in the office. Its getting kinda quiet too. People are leaving one by one... very soon, I will be the only one from my batch that's left.
Howe ORDed last Sat. Kinda miss him and his crap already. One less person for me to crap with. Soon Edmund will be gone. There goes my main target board. Next on the line will be Wen Jin and Linus. Timmy's gonna be posted out to OCS. I will be the only one left. Bn is holding me back cuz there's work for me to do. Sighz... such sad life... But I guess I just gotta get used to it.
That's a regular life... I stayed on but batches after batches of men will come and go. I can never get too used to any particular group. Cuz before I can get real comfy with them, they will be gone. I feel like I'm living in eternity. Where pple besides me will grow and die. But I'll always be there to watch them come and go. Aiyahz... Don't want to think so much lah. That's the kind of life I chose. An Army life. And that's the way I'll live. I'll just do my job. To train young men. To train the future generation. To train them to be future defenders of the country.
Okie lahz... Don't wanna crap so much. Going to watch CSI before I sleep... haha...

CluBBing NiTeZ
Had a rather eventful day yesterday. Went to Bedok Reservoir early in the morning for the Outcamp run organised by 20SA. Run round the reservoir one round... which is like 4.5 km. Crazy Timmy ask me to go one more round with him. I didn't want to run anymore so he carry on alone... haha... I had enough of running lahz... Don't wanna run so much...
Went to pick darling up at her house but she's still working so I stayed at the carpark to wash my car. Think I should wash my car myself more often. Can save a lot. Spent 40 cents on the water only... hehe...
Had dinner with Chin Lee, Pamela, Victor, Andrew, Audrey, Ian and gf, and Jas at Holland Village area. Chin Lee giving us a treat cuz of his birthday. In turn we bought a birthday cake for him at Haagen Daz.
Next stop, Mohd Sultan. Couldn't decide on where to go so kept walking up and down the street. Finally decided on O Bar. Didn't go to Double O cuz the queue was damn long and we are not too interested in queuing. O Bar was kinda quiet. Not enough ppl to create the atmosphere but enough ppl to occupy all the tables. Drank a bit there. Darling had he first taste of tequila pop. Her whole face went red after that. Vodka + Tequila + Beer... seems to be on her way to being drunk. But she's quite a good drinker... won't get drunk that easily. Got bored of O Bar, so decided to change a place. Went to Angel, just across the street. Suresh's favourite place. Plays all the techno stuff. haha... if O bar was boring, Angel was worse. Got a lot of ppl but then music sux and too many lianz and bengz. Who knows we might just get wacked for nothing if we stayed long enough. Which is why we went to our third and final place, Liquid Room. That's the best amongst the 3 that night. Good music, good crowd. Drinks were expensive though. Darling almost scare the shit out of me at Liquid Room. Had her vodka then hug on to me a knocked out. Guess she really fainted. But its only for a while. Woke up after that and had to vomit. Well, its always good to vomit after drinking. At least you will feel much better after that. Guess Darling would agree with me on this after her experience yesterday.... hehe
Was dead tired while on my way home. Kept falling asleep. I really gotta try ito think of ways to keep me awake while driving. Its really dangerous to doze off while driving....
SlaCK at home the whole of today. Gonna wake up early to go back to camp tomorrow. Gotta start the running routine again... sianz...
Went to pick darling up at her house but she's still working so I stayed at the carpark to wash my car. Think I should wash my car myself more often. Can save a lot. Spent 40 cents on the water only... hehe...
Had dinner with Chin Lee, Pamela, Victor, Andrew, Audrey, Ian and gf, and Jas at Holland Village area. Chin Lee giving us a treat cuz of his birthday. In turn we bought a birthday cake for him at Haagen Daz.
Next stop, Mohd Sultan. Couldn't decide on where to go so kept walking up and down the street. Finally decided on O Bar. Didn't go to Double O cuz the queue was damn long and we are not too interested in queuing. O Bar was kinda quiet. Not enough ppl to create the atmosphere but enough ppl to occupy all the tables. Drank a bit there. Darling had he first taste of tequila pop. Her whole face went red after that. Vodka + Tequila + Beer... seems to be on her way to being drunk.

Back again....
Finally giving another entry after so long... been really busy with work back in camp... Hardly have the time to come out. Had a pretty tough week... every morning have to wake up at 6 and go for morning run at 7.... run 5 km then carry on with circuit training... piangz.... whole body aching now... my leg cannot take it anymore. Always don't like to run... actually I don't really mind running... its just that those ppl make running such a chore. That's why I hate it now. And worse of all I'm roped in to run the Division Crossy Country COmpetition and also the upcoming Army Half Marathon!!!! I'm dying!!! I need a new pair of legs!!!
Anyway its good to be resting now so I shall not waste my energy on complaining. Went to RELC today to apply for Overseas studies in Australia with Linus and Wenjin. Talk to this lady name Wendy. She gave us some advice on the universities that are suitable for us and also helped us with the application form. The form a bit complicated... Don't know why izzit that these institutions always like to make there application forms complicated. Maybe its a way of showing how sophiscated they are? Don't know lahz... Linus and I both applied for University of Adelaide. Its the cheapest choice for us. I applied for University of South Australia too... Now just got sit back and wait for the outcome.
Actually I don't even know if I could afford to study in Australia or not. The living expenses are really high. And its really expensive too. Really hope that I can get my LSA so that I would just have to top up a bit to cover the rest of the charges. Think I better start applying next week.
Went to Hendon Camp to witness Andy's Red Beret Presentation. After 11 months of tough training, he finally got his Red Beret. Guess he was really proud of himself. Even shed tears when he received it. Think I can understand how he feels. I felt exactly the same way too during my commissioning parade.
Jas's mum treat us to dinner. Went to Chomp Chomp to eat. The food there ain't exactly that superb. Perhaps its just a brand name lahz... They give so little portion and charge so much... Sigh... nvm lah... once a while its still okie I guess.
Feel like a pig now. Gonna sleep liao... Tomorrow still gotta wake up early and go to to Bedok Reservoir for out camp run. RUNNING AGAIN!!! sighz...

A daY aT tHe ROM...
Today is my cousin Steven's big day. He is to be engaged with his gf of many years. Woke up at about 9am in the morning and quickly rush to the toilet to bath. Gonna be late cuz I am suppose to pick darling up before going to ROM. Came out of the toilet and saw sis ironing my shirt for me... waH~... gonna strike 4D liao... first time ah... haha... Not very straight but its the effort that counts lah....
Was at ROM on time but due to the capacity of 20 pax per couple, me and darling were not able to go up to witness the ceremony. So sad~! What a waste... to think I rush all the way down... sigh... nvm... took some photos after the whole thing.. not that bad after all. Went to merchant hotel for lunch on steven. The buffet was great. Ate a LOT of sashimi. hehe.... my favourite. Darling ate a lot of that durian pudding thingy. That's her favourite. I love it too. Eat so much until I nearly can't move.
Don't feel like going anywhere, so went back home to watch CSI with darling... Guess we were both too tired. Fell asleep after watching one episode. Only woke up at 7pm... haha... we are really pig. Had dinner then send her home.
Sixun's dad passed away and I went down to his dad's wake today with the rest of the officers. It was really a great shock for him. I think he didn't expect it to happen at all... Life is so unpredictable...

Car DaY~
Went back to office yesterday to settle some stuff. Tried packing my kit bag and nearly fainted when I opened it.
haha... all the sweaty clothes mix together, packed in the confine of a bag for 3 days... I leave it up to your imagination... There's really nothing to do in the office. We were basically back in camp because we didn't managed to cancel our ration for the day. So we are back just to consume the breakfast, lunch and dinner. The even more stupid thing is that I don't even eat in the cookhouse. So I am pratically stoning in office doing nothing.
Went out with LTA Koh to McWell Venture to do up his car. Apparently something went wrong with the battery during his 3 weeks out of town. He is very heartache now, firstly because his car can't start properly. And secondly, he scratch his whole front rim when he fell asleep while driving home after the boring soccer match the day before. Pity him but there's nothing I can do.
Went to Autobacs after that. Actually wanted to buy some stuff for my car but suddenly remembered that I'm suppose to save money. So gave up the idea. I'm actually looking for a set of new rims to replace my current ones. But its way too expensive and way off budget... guess I gotta save a bit more before buying...
Back in office by about 2pm and started watching the CSI DVD that I borrowed from Andrew. Really interesting. I finished watching one disc by 5pm... which is about 4 episodes. Yah we are free to that extend. Went off to Bukit Batok after 6pm to accompany LTA Koh to buy a new battery for his car. Yup he finally realised that adding adictives to his battery isn't gonna help. I left for Autobacs again but its already closed so I went for a car wash instead. Today is a car day lahz. Everything also about my car... haha...
Suppose to meet Andrew and gang for dinner but all of them are late. Went to Mohd. SUltan to hang out but in the end, changed the venue to Zouk. Andrew played us out. He can't join us cuz he is wearing berms... damn angry with him. He is the one who jio us out and now he wears berms when he should have known that its not an appropriate dress code.
Never mind...had fun in Zouk anyway with CPT Miaw yi and her BF, CPT Alvin Teo, LTA Koh and Victor. Freaking a lot of pple... probably cuz its ladies' night. Saw a lot of transvetite at Zouk too!!! Its really a lot. Wonder if they have to pay the entrance fees like we guys... hahahaha... Sent Victor home as usual. He is already gone case by then. Drank too much I guess... haha...
Reached home at about 3am but got trapped in the lift for an hour. Luckily a friendly neighbour and the security guard come to my rescue. Slept at 5am and woke up at 9.30am again. Quickly rushed my car down to the workshop for servicing. Thought I could get it back in an hour but they told me they needed 5 hours today cuz my car is entitled to a free grooming package... Whatever lah... it just means that I gotta wait around doing nothing till then... So not used to having to travel around in bus and MRT... Though its quite fun, but I still prefer my car....
There's no where I can go so I stayed at darling's house for the whole afternoon, sleeping and then watching CSI again. Went to collect my car at about 4pm plus, then went to Suntec to have dinner at Cafe Cartel. Ate the St Louis Ribs. Its damn big piece. Talk about value for money. The sauce is a bit too sweet though. Nothing is perfect I guess. Sent darling to Singapore Conference Hall to attend a concert. As usual I got nowhere to go, so stayed at the carpark waiting for her to finish. Watched CSI once again... haha... Sent her home after her concert and fell asleep as usual while on my way back home... freaking tired now... must sleep already....

mY tUeSdAy.....
Woke up quite late today cuz I was watching soccer the night before until 3am. Don't really know how to appreciate match cuz I am a soccer idiot. It wouldn't have been that bad if the match was interesting. Wasted my petrol to go down to Mohd Sultan to watch soccer with edmund, chan ming, howe and alvin teo cuz the match ended with a 0-0 draw... piangz.... what the hell is italy doing... nvm... anyway I was sleeping through half the match... Told howe to wake me up when they score... haha
Went out to meet Jas to eat prata at Roti Prata House for lunch. Jas bought a cake from sweet secret for mum and she seems quite happy... haha... Went to town after that to look for a shaver for dad. Father's Day coming mah... Bought a electric shaver at besk denki. Not exactly the best one around but its within budget. Walk around town for a while before heading to east coast.
Sat at the breakwater at east coast with jas for about 2 hours, talking about everything under the sun. Darling is always so cute. She seems to be so easily amazed by things around her. She talked about her childhood stuffs too and we had some good laughs. Went to eat dinner at the hawker centre in east coast and sent her back after that.
Packing my stuff now, preparing to go back to camp. Sianz... But never mind... will be out again tomorrow night... haha...
