Mood - ...

I really need to change that blog picture and music .. =P

In the meantime, a simple one before I book in and force myself into the pace of that is the Singapore Armed Forces ..

It's Singapore's birthday today. So before we go any further, happy birthday yeah? [ and hopefully, there's still many more birthdays like this to come .. lols ]

Yep, like many others who didn't really get the chance to watch it live, the TV in my house has been switched on and tuned to the NDP. And yes, there's something about me hearing and watching that for the past 20 years of my life that makes it such a turn - off [ for me, at least. ]
But .. just as there is the "bad", there is also good - The holiday is a welcome reprieve against the stress I'm facing now, lol.

Heh. In any case, I pass out of BMT in 5 [ or was it 6? ] weeks' time. For now, I'm still able to cope with the shits there. BUT .. I forsee a lot of burnt weekends, no thanks to my inability to grab at least a pass for my IPPT [ Remedial Training till like no tomorrow, lols ] and the Army Open House in September.

Hai .. ~ the more I think of it, the lower my morale goes. So before I really think of opening that window and really start believing that I can fly .. Have a nice evening all.

Song - 柯有伦: 零

Booking in camp at 8.30 .. so guess that pretty much sums up the sian 1/2 part. lols ~

Okay, first things first. Initial D Arcade Stage 4 has finally made it's way to singapore [ actually, it's been a month plus already so this strikes me as being a bit too late .. hehe ] Don't really know what to say about it .. the game looks great in terms of graphics and all but [ at least, for me ] leaves much to be desired when you look at the gameplay - it's really at times, a bit too exaggerating with all the sliding and all, lols. Not that this is Battle Gear 4, of course .. but .. at least, a little bit more of realism would have help lots. Oh well .. nothing can be done about it, I guess. Just like the many other things in life: You suck it up and move on.

And speaking that .. I believe I have a lot of suck - it - up - and - move - on to do tomorrow, the day/week/month after. It's the start of my BMT. As such, I have all those things called doubts, questions swirling all over my head, waiting to be answered. Not that I'm going to let this pull me down, of course. BUT .. the thing that worries me is not those. Rather, It's the fact that I don't seem to have even a single answer to any give one of those .. things.

Heh. Screwed, am I not?

Out.

Song - Chris Cornell: You Know My Name

After like 2 months of extreme silence, I'm back. As per normal, I'm rather lazy to blog. Yeah yeah, sue me XDDD

And so, to start off my blog post, I shall focus on the main point of my life: National Service.
Okay la, she's been rather "welfare" to me - my superiors has been firm but fair, the pace and training there is still bearable and apart from a few hiccups here and there, I'm kinda settled with things there. But somehow, there's still this unease within me. It's like, there's someone nagging away at the back of my head, telling me to be on my guard. Ditto about that. I guess time will tell yeah?

BUT .. for now, I have another concern. Take this bloody persistent cough [ about 1 week and counting -.- ] and somewhat "sore" throat I'm having now. And since my bunk is a real dusty place [ even after all those area cleanings -.- ] + I'm shouting like every second of my miserable life there, No surprises there huh?

Oh well. I'll cut it short today. Not sure what to write about also, lol. And I haven't packed my bags for camp yet, so yeah. Good day all. :)
I'M BACK.

Mood: Close to the land of zzz
Weather: Kinda hot.
Song: Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

Interesting song. Classical piano piece, you might call it.I'm not sure who it's from but .. it's from some Japanese I think =P

A lot of people has asked me why I haven't been blogging for like the past month or so. Well .. LAZY. [ coupled with the fact that blogger suddenly came up with some "technical" difficulties made it a bit hard for me to blog. XDDD ]

Anyway, unbearable weather nowadays. Someone should really invent a dial for the sun or something. In fact, just about anything [ other then air - con, because, seriously, screw the energy savings, there's still that CFC problem left unchecked. ] that can help turn down the heat is enough for me. LOLS. And it doesn't help that a lot of people have the "I wouldn't be around when global warning melts the ice cap and swashes the earth in a killer wave, so why should I care?" mentality. With people like this, I wonder if those environmentalists are right - as in, killing off the Earth's population so that she can regenerate by herself? [ For the non - believers, really, there are such theories floating around the net, no joke. ] Heh.

Okay .. so, by now, everyone should know that I bombed my exams rather badly. A GPA of 2.8 isn't going to get me into Poly. Oh well .. I guess I could try after I get out of the army but then again .. gotta be realistic. So it's on to private studies I guess .. the rates are through the roof and counting .. BUT .. this is what you get for enjoying too much of the "It's To Enjoy!" part eh? ZZZ .. what to do? I suppose I could whine/bitch/scream/shout/regret/whatever my current state of affairs but it isn't going to help. It was by my own actions that I brought it upon myself and yes, I need to rectify things, put them into the correct perspectives and all.

Which brings me to my next point.

I NEED MOTIVATION. Or rather, I'm very scared of myself. It's rather easy to lose focus from here on out. It's like, you're working on a very fine tightrope where one mistake could mean a long drop to the safety net and there isn't a "try again?" option available. Oh well .. slow and steady I guess. They say that whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger so I guess I'll take heart and work hard from now on out huh?

And so, with this chapter of my life closed [ at least, for now ], one could say that a new chapter of my life is about to begin. One that stamps a ominous sign with the words "National Service". Yep, it's around the corner [ 3 weeks or so .. ] and yes, I need to get into shape. Especially when my vocation is INFANTRY, 2 SIR. Their motto is second to none, so I believe I have a pretty high bar to live up to. Hehehe ..

Oh well. Birthday coming soon. 2 weeks more till I touch 20. Time really flies .. the memories of it all.. that mixed rice stall in school that gave you 3 pieces of chicken and charged you 2.50 for it .. teachers like Mr Singh, Mr Edzra, Mr Foo, Mr Tan .. friends .. ARGH. There's too many to count! lols.

In any case, much as I would like to continue writing aimlessly on, I feel that I should go to sleep at about now. And with that, take care all ..

Mood - Nervous ~
Weather - Can't be bothered.

Tension. Stress. Whatever. Suffering from all of that now .. results are literally a few minutes away. Hai ~ really hope all those hard work, the sacrifices and whatnots, they were all worth it. Seriously speaking, I really have no mood for NS .. or simply put, I'm still in the mood to play/slack/enjoy .. not be serious and block bullets for Singapore. Oh well, like what Meng and Johnny said .. no use worrying so much. Got enough Wrinkles already, lol.

anyway, an Update on the past few days bah .. to take my mind off results.

Thursday:

Like I mentioned earlier, Class peeps organized a chalet at Downtown East Costa Sands Resort. Well, we must really murder Ken bah, lol. Block L, room 2132 and 2133. [ fyi, block L is the really back, back, back until cannot back - end of the whole resort, lol. ] Alright, didn't really went much into photography, so yeah, pardon me. I only got one picture out of the entire trip - Here it is:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Kinda sums up the whole mood and all ya .. lol.

Anyway, nothing much spectacular also. The usual: card games, XBOX, talk cock sing song, BBQ. In no specific order. And well, we really noobified ourselves though: $100++ worth of food, in the end, i think everyone had roughly 3 chicken wings and a few hotdogs + crabsticks each? So ya ... kinda pathetic hor, given the budget of the food and all? Lol. Like what Nyit Shen said, it would have been better if we did Pizza Hut instead, hahaha.. in any case, sleep was also another problem though. With so many guys and only 4 beds, I'll leave it to everyone's imagination as to how cramped our sleeping experience was. Actually was going to photograph everyone sleeping [ alot of funny poses and sounds there .. =P ], budden .. Johnny mentioned that photographing someone at sleep is a sign of becoming a pevert O.o" so ya .. i skipped that, lol.

BUT .. all in all, great show lads. Everyone's going their separate ways now, but no doubt, everyone's so Ai Zai, so no problems should we want to meet up in the near future, lol.



Saturday:

Met up with Ah Gong and the rest of the gang at Bugis. Didn't do much, just slacked/walked around the place. Nearly died of heart attack though; they tried to sabo me through the old - fashioned way. the "ah, miss ah, my friend would like to have your number .."

LOL. Okay la, I did, in a way, bring it upon myself. After all, I was the one who suggested to go bio char bor also. Hahahaha .. yaya, I know .. but then again, I'm single =P so better bio as much as I can and while I still can also .. LOL!

Dinner was at the street opposite Bugis Junction. Normally, one would, upon thinking about Tan Quee Lan Street, smack their lips in anticipation of the many steamboat restaurants there. BUT .. being on the budget side and all [ We're not that rich, lol ], I took them to this little hawker joint with a air - conditioned unit. And, since I was feeling a bit rich, decided to blanja Kaiqi's Dinner as well. Strange thing is though: went in with $40, came out with $19 -.-""""""" Up to now, I also donno the reason for the shortfall in cash -.-""" Oh well. I'll leave it as one of the many mysteries in life, lol.

Went back Bugis after that. ID and all. Getting rusty, lol. Doesn't really matter that much, I wasn't really that pro in the first place either. Anyway, saw my old FREE mates: Fong, Li Rong and Zhi Qian. It's been quite a while, lol. A bit of chit chat, a bit of play, and before anyone knew it, the clock strucked 10.30. Left after that to enjoy a bit of supper and another tok - cock session at LJS :) Took a bus home after that.. would have taken a taxi, but .. oh well. budget - ed I guess ^^



Sunday:

Went to that temple [ kinda forgot the name, lol ] at Bugis to pray. I kinda surprised myself though. Or rather, having been a bit of a free - thinker [ but then again, there must be an explanation to the theories of god and all .. ] Or maybe it was just a last - ditch attempt to gather divine help to ensure a good GPA, LOL. Anyway, as like so many times I passed by the temple, it's still people mountain, people sea. Hahahaha ~ Asked for blessings and all, donated, and left. Since it was already quite a squeeze, I figured that I should do humanity a favor and help in any way possible to ease the flow of traffic there, lol. Went back to the arcade, few rounds of ID, and home sweet home.


And now .. I think I should just ZZZZZ. No point worrying so much .. now, having blogged all the good parts of my life out, the gloom sets in ..

oh well.

Night all.

Hmm .. just a short update before I disappear. Meeting friends later for chalet and BBQ at DTE [ Yeah, finally, something that helps me get my lazy ass into gear, LOL. ] Anyway, I'll begin with this advert from Mazda.





Perhaps, you'll be wondering. Why the video? No, I'm not advertising for Mazda, hahahahaha .. or rather, I'm more like blogging out my feelings .. or perhaps my thoughts .. or whatever la. All the same, lol. Okay, there's this thing that I don't really understand. I'm not really sure how to put it into context, so I'll use a little example, Pokemon. Why is it that when a 13 year old plays it and no one gives a hoot, but then, a 30 year old touches that and everyone calls him childish?


Is not playing Pokemon for a 30 year old a sign of "maturity"?

Or should we just be like what the advert says: "But a lucky few never lost the spark?"

So yeah, speaking about this, everyone must be kinda curious why I'm blogging about things like this now. Ditto about that .. I just find that a lot of things in my life, i kinda lost the spark for it .. like Gaming, for example. I used to be easily occupied with a single game the whole day, but now, I barely touched the 2 hour mark and i get tired of it. Yeah, I know that one shouldn't really game the whole day, but .. it's damned bloody boring at home and what else can one do without gaming? Watch TV? forget it. nothing nice to see, and yes, Mediacorp isn't called Mediacock for a reason by some of my friends ya .. lol. Help out with the household chores? Not for me, and being a bit male chauvinist pig [ i use "a bit" because I STILL DO HELP OUT .. but it's kinda rare, hahahaha .. so don't come shoot me, lol ] , shouldn't the women in the household do all that stuff? Oops =XX

Anyway, back to topic. after the little bout of nonsensical humor, seriously, I find that I'm really lacking something in my life. One might say that i lack an aim, but, I do have an aim: get myself into poly, get my diploma, finish my NS, get my ass into University blah blah blah .. yeah, lazy to explain further, LOL. So, what is it that I lack of now? Love? Nah. I'm Loved by my friends =D Or most of them, hahahaha .. well .. there's gotta be someone who hates me, I think. I'll feel rather weird if everyone has nothing against me. Makes me look too perfect for my liking, lol.

Hmm .. anyone wants to help?

Oh well. Back to more mundane concerns. Like ... MONEY. I'm out of it. So, really time to go look for a job. anyone got any lobangs to share? =DD

hehehe .. okay .. I'm out. Take care all. :)

Internet connection was down the past few days; so for those who miss me for not being online, yeah .. here i am =D

Okay la .. let's see .. while trying to collect my thoughts, how about a joke or two to keep everyone happy? =P


--------------------------------

Joke No.1

Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

It was considered a unique find and the writings were carbon dated at approx three thousand years old!

The stone on which the symbols appeared was removed, brought to a museum, where archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held numerous meeting s and after months of deliberations determined the meaning of the markings.

The President of the society pointed to the first symbol and said: “This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem. You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were astute enough to have animals help them till the soil.
The next drawing is a shovel, which means they utilised tools.”

Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish, which means that in times of famine, they sought food from the sea. The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrew.

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Then a little old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said, “Idiots, Hebrew is read from right to left......
It says: ‘Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That Chick


--------------

Joke No.2

Men:

1. All men are extremely busy.

2. Although they are so busy, they still have time for women.

3. Although they have time for women, they don't really care for them.

4. Although they don't really care for them, they always have one around.

5. Although they always have one around them, they always try their
Luck with others.

6. Although they try their luck with others, they get really pissed off
If the women leaves them.

7. Although the women leaves them they still don't learn from their
Mistakes and still try their luck with others.


Women:

1. The most important thing for a woman is financial security.

2. Although this is so important, they still go out and buy expensive
Clothes.

3. Although they always buy expensive clothes, they never have something
To wear.

4. Although they never have something to wear, they always dress
Beautifully.

5. Although they always dress beautifully, their clothes are always just
"An old rag".

6. Although their clothes are always "just an old rag", they still
Expect you to compliment them.

7. Although they expect you to compliment them, when you do, they don't
Believe you



Really, no offence to the ladies in my life .. yeah .. this is so damned true. hehehe=X

---------------------


Firstly, I finished my last exam for ITE. Officially speaking, I'm still a student, but, unofficially, with just a certificate to collect before my days with ITE ends .. I'm more or less 3/4 out of the door le. Ya. Lol. Well, i think more or less is poly afterwards bah. But then again, i'm being kinda over - optimistic, when even 10 pointers are going poly instead of JC .. zzz. Oh well. Pray for me peeps =P

Hai ~ feeling so lifeless .. i'm spending [ or will be spending, or think i will be spending, lol ] my days just WOW - ing at home. Something tells me to work those lazy bones and get a job! But .. as per the saying that theory is different from practice, I abit unmotivated to work also. hehehe .. once a slacker, always a slacker, lol.

In any case, yesterday, I received this series of messages from some joker. Donno what to say about it, so ya, here goes:

Him - Rajen's Mother pass away tis morning..

Me - Huh. You are..?

Him - The handsome kg Java Ravi [ Note: WTF!? ]

Me - Don know you.

Him - Good for you not to know. If not u will dream of me

So ya. there's a later message with details of the funeral and all, but, I won't put it out here as it doesn't concern me at all. Anyway, pretty BHB hor? hahaha .. can't be bothered with such people =D

Okay la, enough with the lame talk bah. Anyway, to help address my problem of not having a life, i'm going to meet Mister Milk for a few games of pool later. Hopefully, I can learn a thing or two from him and stop being so n00b, lol.

Wish me luck :)

Okay, so, I was bored. Just acted as Mommy's good boy today; went a few places .. got a few things, and yeah.. that's about it. I have a mock test tomorrow, so yeah, i guess i should go back to my books. But then, I'm a bit lacking in terms of motivation to study. And the bed looks rather tempting, lol. So, yes, before i start ranting mindlessly.. in any case, if anyone finds the song of my blog familiar, yep. It's the full - length song of that classical Heineken Ad:



And if you need a bit of help trying to figure out what they are singing, here's the lyrics to put everyone at ease, lol.

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)
