It became kinda disappointing initially when the turnout of the BBQ wasn't quite what I had expected. In the end, "soccer gang" people made up the majority of the turnout. As much as you have put in effort, some people are just not enthusiastic enough. The people who turned up are as follows, kwok, Tingfeng, Frank, Shawn, Chengxiang, HongYi, Shih Ben, Dehua, Me, Geraldine and Georgina.....As much as the turnout wasn't that great, it really was fun catching up with Horny (who has managed to snag 4 girl's numbers while working at Starbucks) and with Shawn, my roomie to be in NTU. We ended up playing "cai quan" to finish off the beer (Sponsored by Geor) and red wine (Courtesy of Geraldine). In the end, Frank appeared to be pretty high as he kept leaping on my back, asking me to piggy back him.. He ended up piggy back-ing me as well. The remaining 7 guys squeezed into Ben's MPV and he sent each of us back home. The guys became damn excited in the car and started discussing about going to zouk straightaway, or perhaps Frank and Dehua were the only ones who were excited about it...I really missed the crazy laughter we had and the silly jokes we cracked.....I must have a second meet up....!


Went gym-ing this morning before meeting the guys at BB for soccer. I only went in for the 1st match and they decided to leave le. B/c Kwok angry mah! I was pretty pissed at that moment cos' at least I made a point to come no matter how late I was la... and just b/c we lost that one match.... we leave? Wah...Low morale can. On the way to West Mall, Frank kept asking me to bring "my janice" to the beach. And according to him, I have this very close female fren called Janice.. I kept asking him who's janice and he would only say....Dot act ah.. I know one... someone tell me.. she's super hot one. rites..? I've even seen her before. hmm..
So who's Janice? LOLz

My tagboard has been inactive for a while i guess. Sometimes I just have no time to come online to blog cos' I'm like constantly hitting the gym at night and whenever I reach home, I'd just like to have some time by myself reading the news and/or catching some random shows over the TV. School's starting in another 1 and a half month's time and there are some things i'd like to just sit down and think about. Chatted with Zee about sigining on and the future in signing on. Its been 7 months, thereabouts since I ORD-ed and it is like the first time I am considering a career with the force. We both agree that we will review this consideration after our first semester and see whether we should still pursue this career with the force.

Sometimes when I look back, I still find myself thinking about the days I had in NS. There were a lot of complaining and whining. However, when we find ourselves outta NS and ready to embark on a new journey, we tend to look back and miss the days where we didn't have to worry about passing or failing...But perhaps like how it always is, you will always look back on the previous phase that has just passed in your life and reminisce about the good ol' days...

I accompanied mummy to try out her aerobics class on tuesday! She actually told her instructor I'm coming and since he was looking for a new instructor also, he actually asked my mum if I wanted to learn from him and become his instructor too. When I Reached the fitness centre, I was actually waiting at the couch for the 1st session to end. When it ended, my mummy's instructor came out 1st and when he saw me, he exclaimed damn loudly to the whole class. Saying: "Can! Can! His body can make it. He can be my disciple! LOL". Subsequently, he even made fun of another female student who kept looking at me (according to him). He told the student, " eh! he wear sleeveless only you cannot (tahan) already ah, keep looking! Den i must show you this issit ( rolled up top to reveal abs) ahahahh." Apparently he is quite serious about bringing me in as a new instructor. I've spoken to him and may consider becoming an instructor cos' in any case he will be paying me mah! LOL...

I've gotten my hair cut shorter this time around. Reminded me of the days where I had to make sure my hair was acceptable. Hair has to be short so that it was acceptable when I don the No. 1 Uniform for Yap's wedding. And yes, My time at NUS has yet again been extended to sometime in early july. I have given up hope to appeal for NUS. Both my bosses tried to help but apparently, the chances are slim. I should just be happy that I've gotten a place in NTU, my choice of course after Architecture, when many others out there scoring better than me ain't gotten any slots in SMU, NUS or NTU. I should be satisfied..Received my matriculation information and the information on the various orientation camps. Haven't decided whether to join one or not, cos' none of my friends are joining.

Today's the final rehearsal for the wedding and it did go on quite well other than the fact that i can't seem to keep in step. My ex cadets and friends had a good laugh whenever i skipped my step to catch the timing. OH MY! I SUCK TERRIBLY! hahah. Many people say that "huen ying shi ai qing the fen mu", which means, marriage is the grave of love, literally.... But the look on the couple's face got me really envious of how blissful they look... Some may say that a military wedding is a complete waste of time, but it seems, to be so special for them.... Blessed are the ones in love, they say. Managed to catch up with my ex cadets and a couple of army friends before we caught a ride in one of the guy's Toyota Rush to the Bay at Marina for their recce of the NDP site. AND the ride was really unforgettable. The car looked like it came out fresh from the MTV show made famous by Xzibit, "Pimp my ride'. Those speakers at the back of the car could seriously rock you out. I could feel my hair stand when it was on the maximum!

But the disappointment was that i could not enter the NDP area cos' I had no camp pass. Even though I knew most of the ppl there. I wished I was part of all these.... Eventually, me and derick caught a drink at the starbucks over at marina square and had a long chat.... before he left to meet his gal.. I'm goin to the beach tmr... the beach!!! LOLZ

till then....

I miss you......! =)

Work can be so boring and dull when you're working all alone in the office. I miss Kok yi! Was damn bored halfway through work and I decided to watch 'Love actually'. Seriously, I kinda liked how the movie brought across the meaning of Love and how different couples handled it. Here is a little review I got from www.imdb.com

"The movie is a series of vignettes about several different people that seemingly have no connection to one another, although by the end the connections are finally all present and accounted for. There's a fair amount of subtle satire and a generous portion of irony; the characters are quite human and often don't do the right thing. I was caught off-guard by the incredibly successful results of the trip to America, but I laughed pretty hard and decided I wouldn't have written the script any other way. Not everyone ends up getting what they want, but then again that's love, er, actually. Nice little film."

I saw something on a friend's blog which I thought made a lot of sense. Sometimes we should learn how to love and then appreciate being loved...

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you,but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things.

I am not your typical bad boy, not your 'oh-so-cool' and slick guy. I am not a sissy. I am just more sentimental than normal guys...

My job as a Project Secretary at NUS, Faculty of Law has just concluded last week. One of the managers decided to extend my time at the faculty so I could help updating its database for some other course. My 2 assistants have left their jobs and while one has went on to become a property agent, the other is awaiting enlistment. Our professor, the overall in charge of the course (WTO Regional Trade Policy Course) has decided to give the team a treat as a way of giving thanks to the team for the outstanding effort (mentioned by the participants and WTO Representatives) over the past 3 months. This has been my best job thus far, feeling very much appreciated by the bosses and working with friendly people who are more than willing to go the extra mile to help you.

The lunch appointment was fixed at The Regent Hotel, which apparently was the place where our commissioning ball was held some 2 years back. The hotel brought back memories of the commissioning ball and others which are better kept in the corners of my heart. We ordered assorted dim sum, crab meat fried rice, some noodles and of course dessert for each one of us. It was really nice to be able to sit around with the team to chat and laugh over the silly things through the course, especially so when it has always been tough "fire-fight" every single day. Lunch ended with the two bosses promising another treat after our dear commando has enlisted, so that he can better appreciate the good food he is missing out in the army...

As usual, went gyming on saturday since kwok and co. could not make it for soccer on saturday morning. Ah bee suggested tanning in the pool since it was a saturday and since we were both free in the afternoon. The only INTERESTING thing that caught my attention that afternoon was this young couple who were 'having fun' at the jacuzzi pools. They are probably only 14/15 only and guess wad, the young gal was dressed in a "oh-so-small" bikini and was moving up and down the guys lap. I call that....'humping'. In case you can't understand, what that 'humping' basically meant was that the guy's lap is the young gals' i-gallop. This was all done in clear view of young kids and grown adults. That is what I call....'excitement'.

Was supposed to go dragon-boating with ah bee on sunday morning, but i decided to play safe since I had a wedding rehearsal to attend at 3pm that day. As a result, I went for soccer instead. God dammit...! The sun wasn't really nice to my poor face and as a result of that, I went home looking like a boiled prawn. I then rushed down to Shenton way with my sword for the rehearsal. The wedding is getting me damn excited! And if he calls me to form up his 'xiong di dang' , I will definitely volunteer! The most exciting part has to be the sword bearers forcing the bride and groom to do some forfeit. Oh my my my.......Exciting... hmmz..

I'm so looking forward to sentosa next sunday, the wedding on the 24th and my krabi trip..... Quick Quick.. I need a break....!! =)

Been some 5 days since I last updated. Didn't really have the time and sometimes don't see what I should blog about. There are so many things going through my mind now and sometimes don't you wish you never grew up? When we were all much younger, there was this desire to grow up more quickly, turn 18 faster, get to do more things and get to have that freedom everybody wanted, but now it seems. With age, there is more to it than just fun and all....there is something called responsibility. Responsibility seems to be a big word...The first time I really understood what that meant was in the course of my active duties as a NSF officer. Everybody wants to be tagged an officer, but what came along with that tag were responsibilities and even more responsibilities.
I could have changed the lives of 3 young gentlemen during the course of their training if not for that bit of luck they had. They were lucky and so was I....

I can't help but feel damn SIAN! My mum's grumbling about the online appeal for NUS cos' I didn't even cared about it and now its like closed!! Cos' I know even if I had tried, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. FARK! Why do you want to make me re-think about my decision when I have started to get settled about getting into NTU! haiiz.. This sucks totallY!

Ho Ho....Been sometime since I last updated aye.. Did anyone missed me? Work's almost done at NUS and well, the course ended on the 30th of May. We're only left with like clearing up and I will be leaving my job. Anytime soon I guess. I need a job badly! NUS has rejected me and over the past few days, I have more or less settled with staying in NTU instead.

Met Patsy for dinner on Friday night which was kinda impromptu. Had dinner at pepper lunch and we ended up having a chat just outside the library. Good thing we didnt go into the library...CUZ PATSY.... WE would have been shooed out!! *Boo!

Went to the Mayday's concert at the Max Pavilion @ Expo on Saturday. That was like my 1st ever concert and WOW!!! I seriously enjoyed myself jumping and singing! It got damn freaking high towards the end and I swear I am gonna so go for their next concert here...

Met up with Lin, xb, von, minyee and the rest of the guys for D'Marquee @ downtown east on Sunday. Thank You Von! For the front row seats.... The show wasn't exactly fantastic but the laser effects were wonderful... Now, lets look forward to Sentosa either on the 16th/ 17th......AND Krabi.....

Love you peeps!!
