book out in the morning, no need to go back camp in 3 days!!! hahaha!!! today, my mother, brother and sister are going malaysia while my father is still in China... that means i'm home alone!!! Yeah!!! LOL! i can do wateva thing i wan!



In the afternoon, met boon kiat (poly friend) for lunch at Taka to pass him a windows xp cd... we talked quite a while over lunch, he told me he's passing out as a sergeant next week!!! congrats to him, while i'm stuck as a corporal (but not treated as 1!!!)



after lunch, we went walk walk at HMV, while i collect my pre-ordered S.H.E "Encore安可" CD... the main hits are 候鸟 and 痛快... but what i think all the songs are nice, and makes me listen to it again and again... and yah, i saw a VCD i wanted to buy long long ago, selling at less than $10, Pay Check by Ben Affleck. bk left after that, i still have to wait for my camp mates to meet at 5.30pm... so i carry on loittering at orchard... went to cineleisure sembawang music centre to look for some great deals and saw some cds selling at $9.90! (old ones of course) After much choosing, I bought Sun Yan Zi's 1st album titled "Yan Zi"... went to lucky plaza after that, for a haircut at QB house... then went orchard MRT Popular bookshop to shop for a organizer... bought a B8 size 1 at $8.90, quite cheap...



finally met my camp mates at 5.30pm, surprisingly all are punctual, except for "senior" CPL Tan LG... too bad my buddy cant come... we went to lido to buy tickets for the show "Taxi".. while waiting for the show to start, we went for dinner and look around... I bought dinner for Subway for dinner, got a feeling that i'm being cheated... it's so ex, yet the quantity is so little... especially the chips (it's a small packet of chips)... then we went Isetan and saw quite a number of good deals on sports apparels.



The show started at 7.30pm... it's on how a lousy cop and a taxi driver (with excellent driving skills) nail down a bunch of sexy robbers. The driving scences are exciting and the conversations are damm funny... Great show! I give it 5 stars for entertainment value...



after which we decided to go drinking (alcohol, of course) at Boat Quay... the strange thing is nobody knows how to get there... so we blindly took MRT to clarke quay. then walk around in all directions to look for boat quay... luckily, we found it...



we walk up and down the shophouses of pubs and finally settle down at "Stella Artois" (Noel's recommendation). The ambience is not bad... beautiful scenary and music not bad... however, i prefer zouk, where i can dance... i prefer dancing than drinking.. we share a bottle of Absolute Vodka (with coke and sprite) at first... i drank 3 cups of mixed vodka, i already felt quite high... maybe because i mixed too little... then we went inside the pub (we initially are sitting outsideand i don't know who the hell ordered a bottle of Jim Beam... after a few cups, i feel so high that my head is 1 ton heavier... Then i started to everywhere, in the toilet, on the table, and in the cups... and so is everyone (even the most zai drinker)... it's 1am plus everyone "buay ta han" liao and left the pub... surprisingly, I stil can guide the taxi driver to my home.. it's 2am when i reach home... luckily, my mother's not around, or i will be dead meat... it's after everthing that i discover we each spent $65 on the drinks... it's the most expensive price i paid on alcohol... but that's quite a fun nite...

book out in the morning after 3 days of duties and only got 1 pathetic off day... ji hao (my final year project mate) invited me over for a birthday buffet at his house... sort-of rush to his house and I was late again... luckily i'm not the latest... well, frankly speaking it's quite boring... played dai di (Big2) there while waiting for some of the guests to come... sick of winning all the time (hehe... kidding...)... but overall the food was great and i get to catch up with some of his friends which i know (i.e. Acquitances)... when all guests came, the cake-cutting ceremony begins and we sang the song of course... then it rained heavily again, and we cannot leave... after the rain, we went for dinner at the nearby bukit timah food centre, but chong hwee went home 1st... then found out that quite a few of them are going to the S.H.E and Jay's concert... should i go??? where can i get the money? that's a "chim" question...



headed to orchard after that... sad, the QB house is closed at 7pm on public holidays... guess i have to cut my hair next dismount... nvm, went to HMV to pre-order S.H.E new album titled "Encore", which will be release tomolo, paid $22.90 for it... but i have to go back camp tomolo... bo bian, can only collect on 14th...

Early Morning




Have to wake up early in the morning at 7am... yawnz... Need to bring my uncle Tan Tock Seng Hospital for blood test. Took cab from home to Jalan Besar, then from there to TTSH. Then discover it's the wrong place when we ask the staff there... damm irresponsible driver... so took a cab again to right place, Communicable Disease Centre (ya, it's the place where they house SARS patients... )... reached there at around 9.40am, he took the test, and we have to wait 2 hours for the results... meanwhile, we went to Pek Kio (Cambridge Road) for some food... the chicken rice there quite cheap ($2) and good (nice and in large quantity)...



The results came out at around 11.40am... the doctor asked him to go for chest xray... so, have to wait again... meanwhile, my mother and I went to see the social worker (bo bian, she insisted)... she want to apply for some financial assistance... so she told the social worker her ENTIRE life story (like what I had heard from her everyday)... and as usual she always repeats her sentences... i'm already used to it, but i think the social worker "bua ta han" liao... but she must act like listening...



Afternoon



After meeting the social worker, I left 1st and headed to NTU b4 it's too late... going there to request a letter for my disruption... it's a long way to there, took MRT from newton to boon lay, then bus to NTU... reached there around 3pm, but took more than 1 hour (I think) to find the Office of Admission... NTU is really too big... moreover, it's raining cats and dogs... nvm, i get to know more abt the place now... but Sadly, when i FINALLY reach there, they tell me I have to write in to request for early admission... sad and sianz 1/2...



Evening



Afterwhich, supposingly meeting zhi wei and yan kit (camp mates) for a movie... but only yan kit turned out... feel so bad to let him travel all the way from punggol to jurong point... he thought of going home liao but i persuaded him to Shark Tale with me... got a feeling that I a bit took him for granted, guilty :P any way, it's a good movie (or should i say animation)... the actions and talking are all very funny... haven been laughing much recently...

Evening, 02/11/2004, Tuesday



Book out at 5pm. Have to go Jalan Besar (near lavender). my mother told me my uncle is sick and "force" me to go... of course, i cant disobey "Her Highness"'s instructions... This uncle of mine is my mother's younger brother. He lives at the void decks below HDB flats... and he sells 2nd hand goods (at the flea market nearby) as a living... he's the type of guy who don't like to work and like freedom... my primary role there is to help him translate some letters from cpf and hospital... and the rest of night i have to patiently wait for my mother to finish scolding my uncle... which attracts a lot of attention from the residents... damm tired after those turnouts in the day, left there arounf 10pm and headed home for rest...

today is the 3rd day of mount (duty)... my body is getting tired but i'm looking forward to my precious dismount day... tomorrow is mohan's birthday, we celebrated today... according our tradition, birthday boy is often being stripped naked... i was part of the team... LOL!! luckily my birthday has already passed...



30/10/2004, Saturday



intending to meet my poly friends at 2pm to celebrate zr's birthday, but as usual, everyone is late... waited for 2 hours plus before everyone had reached... as usual loiter round for some time before deciding what to do... and finally decided to play LAN... but luck is not our side... not enough computers in the LAN shop... after some time, finally settled down and played warcraft III... we played until 11pm plus... had some food at long john silver and then headed home...
26/10/2004, Tuesday



woke up early in the morning to confirm got go out or not... nobody seems to be intrested in ice skating... so the outing is again called off... never mind, can save money also... on my computer, check emails, read blogs and check out some banking info... then decided to go Clementi, intending open an OCBC account to keep my savings... but kanna rejected because the min. initial deposit for a passbook account is $500!!! where can i find the money??? however i could open another type of account, but need to show proof that i have less than $2000 monthly income... so didn't open account in the end... went to nearby KFC to have lunch, and realised it had moved to the NTUC building... think it's been awhile since i last went Clementi...



thinking of where to go next while having lunch... maybe watch movie??? there's a lot of movies i want to watch, but nobody accompany me... guess my friends don't like to spend this kind of money since priacy is getting more popular in recent years... really don't wish to watch alone so tried my luck and called yan kit... surprisingly, he agreed... so i went to PS (plaza singapura) to meet him... we played in the arcade (played parapara as usual), then brought tickets and went to have some taiwanese "shi lin" fried chicken cutlet... the movie started at 6 plus, titled "The Manchurian Candidate"... quite a good show... a show about a group of soldiers being brainwash to believe someone is a national hero... quite worth it... maybe u should give it try...



25/10/2004, Monday



Woke up at 6am plus, got a duty at 7am... it's drizzling, then became heavy rain... so takeover is late again... takeover came around 9.30am, i almost going to KO... went back to flight hangar (=company line and bunk)... went to bed again and waiting to book out at 5pm...



soon being waken up to clear breakfast and had lunch... went back to sleep again but again disrupted by the announcement "Standby for Broadcast, Priority 1" Shit! turnout again... (priority 1 is a drill that's activated when there's aircraft diversion or bomb trap)... it's a drill that happens frequently due to incapability of the pilots (I think)... everything ended around 4pm... still have to wait for the obese guys to come back before we can go off at 5pm sharp...



book out at 5pm and headed to toa payoh ALONE (again?) to take my spectacles... things are really not going my way recently... reached the spectacles shop and received my specs... it's a frameless black pepsi brand specs... quite nice, too bad the lens is a bit thick... the boss claims that's it's already a high index lens, what can i say? bought dinner for my mother, and reached home around 8pm... damm tired, but MUST "Ren Wo Au You" (The Champion) before going to bed... still don't know tommorrow going out or not...zzzzzzzz...
