Getaway

YAY !!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR 2ND OCT AND 4TH OCT TO COME !!! =D

Passing Out Parade

This saturday (2nd Oct 2010) will be my passing out parade from TEKONG BASIC MILITARY COURSE. Sad to say because of that, most likely I won’t be attending TBC 2010. Hope you guys will do well and everything go smoothly :)

During the 7 days block leave, 3 days @ Tioman, Malaysia, 2 days @ chalet which Irving open. 2 days to rest… JESUS… Not enough time ahhhhhhh :(

Hopefully my posting isn’t something very shiok.. xD xD xD

Makan~

Well.. My BMT journey is coming to an end already. All my high key event such as Field camp, Hand grenade, Live range shooting, Ippt, SOC is all finished. The last 2 week of my BMT is just practice for my graduation day at Marina Bay Floating Platform! :D

It might sound easy but its very very hard, with lots of thing to remb. , lyrics, songs, marches, timing and what’s not… RAH….

So, the final 2 week, my company 2nd IC, which is my platoon commander, allowed us to bring food in! YAYNESS to that, i actually bought about $70 worth of food but going to split into 2 and bring in separate time. Most likely I will grow fatter because of this.. Ouch… So much for training hard for 3 months.

Talking about training hard.. I failed my IPPT because of Standing Board Jump… The feeling sucks, honestly. In a way, I know it is my fault but because of my height, I am already at disadvantage. Tuesday got a retake for my SBJ, hopefully, which i really pray very very hard that I would pass it. Sigh… If I don’t, I would be a man.. Kinda a waste of my 2 years I guess…

Yesterday, went to XLB buffet with dor, ben and chris. Its really filling and nice :) The XLB standard kinda dropped because its not exactly hot but more like warm but I guess for the amount of XLB we ate, its acceptable bah.. Haha.. Jing Yi, when u coming back, we go ok? :)

Ka boom Ka boom Ka boom! I am watching band of brothers while typing this post, somehow looking at the show kinda make me relate myself to it. Most of the term which they use such as platoon, lieutenant, take point, short form and what so ever military based things make me realize that NS is really very useful in time of war to come and prepare us as a soldier to really fight the war. Hopefully in my lifetime, I won’t be using all this skill because that would mean war had come and people would suffer.

Well, time to go prepare to go out. Update soon if possible! CYA!~

Does these help?

POP looooo

No, not yet but soon! 3 MORE WEEKS exactly!

This week had been quite a short but very xiong week. We had been doing PT for the whole week. The typical day schedule would be like Running in the morning, Dumbbell exercise in the afternoon and maybe Gym in the evening. Yes, it was that strenuous. Partly because this week is our last IPPT.

Because of Hari Raya, this week was a 3 days off week. Quite shiok but… time files again! SO FAST LARR.. RAH… :( Going to book in later le.. Sigh…

POP POP POP POP POP.. Can’t wait!~

Steamboat and MBS

2 weeks ago, before my field camp and ivan enlistment, we had a mini gathering to celebrate the very GLORIOUS moment of our life! HAHA… A steamboat gathering with me, ivan, christopher and Jasmine. We went to yaki yuki at marina square, it wasn’t bad but the price was a bit steep at about $25 per pax. Had a great time with them always!

The thing about yaki yuki is that we can fry our own ice cream. Ya, the idea is kinda weird and its actually kinda hard to “fry” our own ice cream but we had fun and enjoyed ourself although our ice cream kinda taste fail.. HAHA… I guess the idea is more of a novelty than a real practical one. It also trains your arm strength I guess! HAHA…

After eating, we went to walk walk.. I needed to buy tights for my field camp to prevent abrasion.. Ivan went home to have dinner with his family, chris and jas went hunting for tights with me, thanks a lot! In the end, we went to town and I got my tights from elieen because she’s working at Nike and have staff discount! 40% off! So the tights was only $22. Quite worth it i guess! Thanks a lot elieen!! :D

Hmmm.. Met Dor for dinner while the others went to walk around and heard that they went to kids shop to terrorize the toys and made them do BAD BAD things.. LOL..

After parting with dor, went back to join them. Christine joined us for prawning session! YAYNESS.. Christopher left us to go home.. Bohooo… As you can see from the above, 3 of them accompany me to go Toy’R'Us to see present for my nephew bday. Its quite funny that they are so interested in toys like kids :) I guess everyone have a part of them not wanting to grow up! XD

So we joined back with Ivan and Sky to prawn. Initally plan was to go bishan but upon reaching, it was FREAKING crowded. Change of plan, we went pasir ris to prawn instead. At some ulu ulu place which you could get raped and nobody will ever know! HAHA.. Ya, its that ulu. $24 for 3 hours.. So, me got the first blood on the prawn. I guess its beginner luck~? :D In total, we caught about 20+ to 30+ prawn for 5 of us. Ivan say its pathetic, I guess for me being first timer, its not bad bah.

Yesterday, I sort of made an outing to chinatown to ease my craving of the Yang Tau Fu and all the cheap but good food in that area! It was really an eating day for me!

So, the participant of the day was Christopher, Sky, Me, Jasmine and later in the day, Mario dropped by to have dessert with us and Surin came to watch movie with us.

The Yang Tau Fu is still as fabulous from what I can remember. Taste is still there and the ingredient is still as fresh but sadly the queue is also still as long as before! Went there around 2pm? Queued for about 10 – 15 minutes for 4 bowl of Yang Tau Fu. It was worth the wait, honestly. After eating, Mario came by to join us and brought us to some dessert place for dessert. Where he and Sky came up with all the cold and lame joke and made me have to wear my jacket because it was really too cold for me! HAHA…

After which, we went to Marina Bay Sand to walk walk. Literally WALKED to marina bay sand because we actually don’t really know the way there, so we kinda took the long way. The place itself isn’t bad but most of the area is still under construction so it look rather run down and dusty still. Took a stroll around, looking at some of the shop and doing window shopping.



There was this big bowl thingy which everyone was throwing coin into it like some wishing bowl or something. There is a hole in the middle of the big bowl and I guess people think that throwing the coin into it will grant them luck or something like that. Sky commented “Someday, I will just put a hole somewhere and people will start throwing money into it and I will be rich!” HAHA.. Good luck sky! Become rich le don’t forget about me! :)

Sat down at coffee bean new concept bistro and had some rest. Had quite a nice chat there and a lot of fun like Sky wanting to take picture with the girl on still. Looking at people zhao geng on top of us! HAHA.. EVERYONE OF THEM LOOKED OK! NOT ONLY ME.. Ahem.. Really great time spent there.

Surin came down from pasir ris to meet us and mario went off to some bday party. So we went comex, took a walk around, pushed through the crowd. Bought nothing and went off to watch movie! LOL.. Lame much, I know.

Before movie, we went to mcdonald and ate dinner. Originally we wanted to go geylang for sky orgasm fix (Durain FYI) after the movie but we were too tired, so we split up and went home after the movie. We watched Going the distance, its not bad at all actually. Sky kinda fell asleep inside but I kinda enjoyed the romance comedy. Justin Long is quite a good actor and with Drew Berrymore, it made the movie even better! Lots of funny scene and one of the movie I would highly recommend if you got nothing much to do!

So, anyway, now I am waiting for my POP le, most of my high key event had already passed. Left with SOC and IPPT only… Then would be Games day, Recruit Night, OC Night and finally my 24km route march to marina barrage! Oh, did I post that I am going to POP at marina floating platform? HAHA… Shiok much! Check out this website about my POP!

Okok, the post is damm long le.. Guess it would be quite a long read for whoever it is! Take care everyone!

PS. I miss everyone in IITSC when looking through our old photo and videos… Sigh… :(

Week By Week

Well sometimes to blog here, i’m not sure to blog about stuff that are happening in my life or blog about stuff in his life. i will feel so weird to blog about stuff about my life cause after all this is his blog. WELL WELL ..

Today i shall talk about a bit of both our lives ba.
Starting with his of course. James just had outfield last week and this week, he has SIT. Which means it is like a second outfield but this time, SIT is only 3 days. He went today and he will be back on friday. And well of course of his field camp, SIT and urban Ops, he postpone his appt and physio till 3 weeks later. Oh well just hope that his arm wouldnt hurt so bad anymore. He indeed didnt complain much about shoulder pain anymore but well i do wonder how is it. About one month more he will POP and i guess thats sth he’s very happy and looking forward to ba. =) but before all that come, PIG him has to pass him IPPT and complete his 24km road march !!

Now about me. i’ve been working at butterfly park. Well, schedule and all are pretty flexible that i like but i guess cant expect much for the pay too? it’s just 6.50 per hour. i’m still contemplating to get temp office hour job. the pay is better of course but the dead sitcked routine, i hate it. Plus if i work that, i can’t go to appointments with this guy. Well, still thinking….
In the meantime, there’s good and bad for my job. Mentioned the good thing and the bad thing is “SHE” very mood swing. That’s sth most of us dont like i guess. Sometimes she is just weird la ..
Sometimes i can’t find my motivation to work either .. of course everyone wishes to have alot of money so that they can do what they want but sometimes i dont even know what i want to do with these money. i do have things that i want to buy but yet again sometimes i’ll think that they are not things that i need and i can’t bare to spend those money den those money will all go to good food ..(and ya that explains my size)
And of course i wanna spend some time and have a getaway. i wanna like keep traveling to nice places and now, i’m hoping that i can go tioman in Oct. Scared i have lousy planning den it fail .. =/
That’s all for now i guess
