Yanzi!!! (Autograph session at HMV Heeren Shops)
17/12/2004, Friday
7am
woken up by Mohan to send arms
8am
Book out! (after 3 days mount)
9am
At Tampines, having Mcdonalds' with my "gay" friend, LG. Discovered that I only left $5.46 in my bank account after drawing out $20. All thanks to "you-know-who" who owes my money...
9am plus
Reached home. Took a nap...
12noon
Woke up, getting ready to go out...
1pm plus
Headed to HMV Heeren for Sun Yan Zi's Autograph Session!!!
2pm
reached HMV, enquiry about whether i can get the qutograph without the "HMV coupon", the answer is "NO!". Spent 1 whole hour wandering in the shop, considering to buy the SAME album or not... (so to get the coupon)
2.50pm
finally decided to buy another edition of the same album, "Stefanie" (this version with a bonus DVD). used up $26 for the album, only left $1 plus for bus, pathetic?
3pm
2 hours before the autograph session, the queue is already until the back of the building. Imagine what time they started queueing! They must have started yesterday... crazy fans (i'm also 1 of them lah :P), but i will also do so if I got the time. LOL!
3.10pm
the queue started standing and moving (I don't know for what-the-heck reason!)
4pm
the queue became a mess. All cramped together. I'm stuck to a position at the side of the stage. There's no way to see the stage, because there's a curtain. Maybe that's the disadvantage of queueing up for autograpgh, i say to myself...
5pm
the crowd become more cramped as we anticipate the arrival of Yanzi... everyone
5.20pm
Yanzi arrived. I have to raise my digital cam high to capture her (i'm too short lah!)... sad, mis-shot in the end...
5.30pm
the performance started. i'm still stuck at the side of the stage! :( grumble.... can't even see her (because of the curtains).... "Qi Shi Wo Le"!!! bo pian, have to listen to her behind curtains...
5.35pm
the security finally allowed us to go to the front of the stage. this is the 1st time i see her in person!!! so excited! she sang her 2nd song, "我的爱". And I got a few pictures of her (but not well-taken) despite being blocked by countless umbrellas in front of me. It's drizzling... after the song and some interview, the autograpgh sesssion started (HMV autograph session are always so short). There's some posters to be givewn away to fans who can sing her songs. Too bad the posters ran out before i got onto stage...
6.20pm
Finally, got her autograph after waiting for 2 hours and standing in rain for 1 hour plus. so HAPPY!!! but, i can only get autograph on 1 album because I only got 1 coupon, sad... got 1 free pokka aloe vera drink off stage as a reward... hehe...
7pm
reached home, mother told me to accompany her to go buy DVD recorder NOW! spend the rest of the night shopping at Carrefour and Best Denki at Plaza Singapura until 11pm plus!!! (carrefour got midnight sales, u see...)

Failure = more shit...
14/12/2004, Tuesday
8am, back at camp for duty... all the camp mate sa i'm crazy that I bought S.H.E Concert tickets. Well, wat can i say?
1 of my camp mates also propose that we go Merah (1 of our outpost) in rotation... i agreed immediately. Any way, does going Merah really matters so much that have to make it so serious? I'm ok with anything... Just hope that I can end NS earlier... 7 months to go... (hopefully)
later, in the afternoon, the security audit intrusion finally came to Changi West(I am at Merah at that time). The sad news is we failed the audit... who tell them to put the slackest people on duty? I don't wish to mention the details... Basically, it's a test conducted by outside agencies (HQ FDS) to test the security level of our camp by bringing in a fake bomb... after the incident, everyone is being reprimand (or scolded)... from CO down to OC, PC and RPs (us)... it's a sad day for all of us. S3 blamed the failure to fatigue (tiredness) and suggest to have more training. which means the duty schedule has to be changed (again?)... Instead of mounting 2 days, , standby 1 day, dismount 1 day. He wants mounting 2 days, dismount 1 day, standby 1 day... which means an increase in ttransportation fees and time... sad news... but it's yet to be confirmed...
duties all day...
15/12/2004, Wednesday
Normal Boring duties, have to do extra duty again due to manpower shortage... watched a few VCDs, "Band of Brothers" and "King of Gamblers 2 in Shang Hai" (something like that lah...)
new bunk!
16/12/2004, Thursday
back to base for duty... got 2.5 duties, not so xiong... There's another room opened up for us to sleep in, which is the former PC office... (PC office shifted to OC office, u see). The aircon there is just nice, very nice to sleep in... hope this kind of amenities qill be available to us in the future...

A Wedding Dinner...
12/12/2004, Sunday
book out in the morning around 10.30am... 2 days off! Hurray! went to Mc alone to have hotcakes for "lunch"... I happily ordered a "Hotcakes with SAUSAGE Meal" (note the words "with sausage"), then the cashier told me to wait for the hotcakes and cofee... waited 15mins!!! Shouldn't fast food be fast? that's not the worst, the worst is when he gave me "Hotcakes WITHOUT sausage Meal"! it's too late when i realise the mistake... sian 0.5... this is not my day... after that, went to Music Junction to buy some accessories, and Popular to collect my catalouge and shop around...
it's 1pm plus when i reach home... slept for some time and surfed net until it's time to go for a relative's wedding dinner... we reached the venue arounf 8pm, we were late, thanks to my mother... It's my father's cousin's son's wedding... actually felt quite reluctant yo go, rather stay home to do my own stuff... But have to give my parents "face"... The dinner start around 9pm. As uusual you never fill your stomach in this kind of dinner (especially when the people on the same table are eating experts...) However, the shark fin's soup is nice... Also drank a cup of red wine and a cup of beer with my cousin... A bit high after the red wine, wonder how much is the alcohol content... let's talk about the couple, the groom (my relative's son) is a 27-years-old guy who look 10 years younger, and the bride is a jovial and neighbourhood-girl look person... went home around 10pm plus...
Another hole in my wallet...
13/12/2004, Monday
woke up around 10am, feel so great that I no need to book in today... went online, intending to book the <<S.H.E 奇幻乐园演唱会>> tickets... so happy that the $148 tickets are still available... the end, LG bought the tickets for the 3 of us... i've finally accomplish something i had planned for months... but the $$$ i paid felt like a wound in my chest... I never expect i will spend so much on such luxury... But it's worth it, hope the concert will be an exciting 1...
After that, went downstairs to buy lunch and some groceries... Then, after hearing from calvin that the Sun Yan Zi Autograph session (this friday) needs a HMV coupon, I FLEE to HMV Herren to check out the details... sadly, the staff there told me that I had to buy the SAME album to get THE COUPON (so i can get the autograph)... SADX3... After much consideration, I decided not to buy, but instead, I bought 2 VCDs, "Briget Jones' Diary" and "Looney Tunes: Back in Action"... me also dun noe why i buy them... waste money again... (RECOMMENDATION: HMV is a good place to shop for English Movie VCDs, they sell at less than $10)... and ya, also got a chance to liften to Angela Zhang Shao Han's new album, "Aurora"... a bit tempted to buy, but drop the idea in the end...
After shopping at HMV, went to KFC for dinner... Then, walk around Best Denki, POpular and finally bought some bread and dinner home... reached home around 9pm, just in time to watch "野蛮亲家"... went to sleep after watching S.H.E on "Shi Zhi Lu Kou" and done some blogging... zzz...

relax...
08/12/2004, Wednesday
book out around 4.30pm... got pple jio me to cheong at zouk, but none seems to be interested, so cancelled in the end... it's end of the month by the way, nobody had enough cash for that... spend the whole night relaxing at home... watching TV, surfing net, reading blogs, checking mails, planning my next year schedule, and typing my own blogs... slept at 5am...
National Treasure, it's not the treasure that matters...
09/12/2004, Thursday
went out at 11.20am, got a haircut appointment at 12noon... reached Kimage Hairdressing School (salon) right on time... don't misunderstand, salon doesn't necessarily charge u high fees... i only paid $5.25 to serve as a "guinea pig" for trainees... got a hair wash, then started cutting... that cockster trainee left a protruding part on my hair... luckily, there's always a teacher come to rescue my hair at the end of the session... in the end, got a quite decent haircut... shop around a bookshop named "Stationary Superstore" at there (Funan IT Mall)... it's a shop with a lot of varieties of stationary, and some quite cheap...
after that, met up with my camp mates at 2pm to watch the movie, "National Treasure"... bought the 4.10pm tickets... spent 2 hours loittering around, played para para at arcade (teenage girls eyeing on the machine i playing), look look at best denki (looking for a suitable dvd recorder for my mother), look look at toys shops (saw a cute-cute glow-in-the-dark wrist rest), and shop around carrefour... then the show started... the show is about how a legandary treasure revolving around American History, is being dicovered by Nicolas Cage (and others) after solving lots of clues... my review: great show! good plot, great actions, clever clues... however, i only understand 10% of the american history mentioned in the movie, forgive my ignorance... definitely a show worth to watch... after the show, nobody accompany me for dinner again... so we went separate ways... after watching yan kit and mohan played AVP (alien vs predator) for 1 hour, i gave up... then, bought dinner for myself and my mother, and went home...
reached home around 9pm, watched TV, wrote blogs, surfed net, played games and downloaded lots of stuff from "The Incredibles" website (http://www.theincredibles.com) (got addicted to it after the movie...).... it's 3am when i slept...

Dai Di Time!

Book out at 5pm, headed home... Intended to go to my buddy (Kok Tim) house to camp overnight (just to play dai di(Big2))... Actually, a bit sleepy, a bit dun wan to go... But everyone seems so excited abt it, and a promise is a promise.

The Singapore IDOL - Taufik Batisah
01/12/2004, Wednesday
never had enough sleep, so stayed home for the whole day... anyway, I wanted to watch the Singapore Idol Finals... (Actually, I only started watching when there's the Final 4)... The show is awesome! all the singings and atmposhere... the part i like most is when the 11 finalists were on stage together to sing a series of songs... this proves that each finalist have their area of expertise... And the song I like best is the new song, "I Dream" (singing by Sly is better)... I was shock when Taufik wins the competition! Actually I expect Sly to win simply because he's the more popular 1... (frankly speaking, i like sly better) Nevertheless, I think Taufik deserved to be the 1st Singapore Idol, he's the 1 with the more versatile vocal... and actually, Sly seems like have a bad throat that day... congrats to both of them and welcome to the complicated (and ugly) world of entertainment industry... really hope their 1st album will come out soon...

Warcraft!!!
26/11/2004, Friday
Book out at 4.30pm, went to have dinner at Tampines ALONE again... while having dinner, received a call from liang... He asked me out with my poly friends... seems like have to waste money again... but nvm, it's worth it...
the meeting is set at 7pm... liang told me to reach around 7.30pm, coz others will be late... but despite reaching only at 7.30pm, i am the earliest to reach, what the heck! waited aimlessly until they reach abt 8pm plus... the original is to watch movie, but they say cannot get good seats now liao... wat lame excuse... Guess they don't really want to watch movie, so went to play LAN game (Warcraft III) in the end... which is not really my interest, but i played along... it's 3am in the middle of the night when they FINALLY decided to go... spent over $10 on LAN game, and $3 on night rider, for something u not interested in, wat to do? all for friends...
The Incredibles!!!
27/11/2004, Saturday
slept at 4am, but woke up at 11am... yawn! going out again, an outing we had planned months ago with wei sheng and wen cai (primary school friends)... suppose to meet them at 1pm, but i'm late... after lunch, I rush to Sunlight KTV (cuppage plaza) to secure the KTV room while wei sheng and wen cai (WW) bought the 7.30pm movie tickets... WW came after a while. We sang all the way from 2pm to 6pm (luckily i got a voucher, each only paid $12) Surprisingly, got the song 搁浅 by 周杰伦 (Jay Chou). And also got the chance to sing 明明很爱你 by 黄品冠 and 梁静茹 (too bad i sang alone). but I wasn't on form, my troat is a bit "rough".
After KTV, we went back to cineleisure for the movie... Had dinner at Burger King (using discount coupons, hehe :D). seems like Burger King is the most popular fast food there, we have to wait for some time to get a seat...
The show, "The Incredibles" started at 7.30pm... finally, i got the chance to watch this 4-star rating show... my other friends rather download the movie, they say it's waste of money to watch in threatres... The story is good, The animations is fantastic, and the jokes are great!!! However, Sherk 2 is funnier. This is a MUST-SEE show (i'm refering to incredibles, of course)... (although it's an animation, it got 4-star ratings from local newspapers)... my favourite character is "Violet", wat's yours? after the show, we went straight home (we live near each other)... reached home around 10pm plus...

Turnout! (again?)

10am plus, just came from 2 days duty from merah. somebody contracted chicken pox (lucky guy, got 2 weeks att c). so we are forced to do a thorough area cleaning by PC samuel (again?). we did area cleaning from noon to 3pm, but PC samuel is still not satisfied. What the heck! he wants us to carry on until he's satisfied! he thinks we got a lot of time to rest ah? 3pm, half of us have to go for duty, i'm 1 of the few lucky (or unlucky) guys who didn't have duty now... Mohan told us that PC wants us to fall in, but nobody responded, some say don't know about it, some (including me) simply heck care. so after some time, as expected, he turnout us again... He made us do 40 push-ups and ran 2 rounds around the hangar. He said he dislike people disobeying him, he din even realise the problem lies in himself! he said he want another stand-by-area in 15 minutes, if still not clean, he will turnout us every night! sadist rite?
later in evening, somebody complained to OC about this. And asked me to talk to OC also, because i'm 1 of the few who kena PC's punishment. I said the truth and what i felt abt this... I felt (at least myself) had done the best in the area cleaning, but PC samuel still likes to pick on little things... sometimes i wonder is that he don't like us, pr is it he loved his job too much. yet, he say we don't know how to think. wat I think is "If you want someone to respect you, don't do it the hard way, but punish when things get out of control." He can't make friends in the society if he carry on like this...

The Long-waited Gathering
18/11/2004, Thursday
book out at 4.30pm. Had an appointment with my FYP mates and supervisor at 7pm, so have to rush home... luckily, i'm released earlieror else i have to take a cab, that will cost a lot... I was a bit late when i reach suntec but i'm not the latest, that's a relief... ch is already there... yan came shortly, followed by our lecturer(also FYP supervisor), Mr. Ronnie Peh. it's been over a year since we last met, the last time is few days b4 my enlistment... that's because he went London to purse his masters in bio-informatics (something like that lah). He still in his usual self. A vegetarian and healthy-looking guy who loves sports. always care for others and selflessly share all his knowledge... shuang took time to join us for dinner, despite her work at Motorshow.
we went Cafe Cartel for dinner, i'm worried if there's vegetarian food for our beloved lecturer... as usual, he insisted of treating us, which makes us all so "pai seh"... we chatted non-stop for hours there about everything, our life during this year, army stuff, the girls' jobs, and the incident in SP... cong came ard 8pm plus... we stayed ther until 10pm, to wait for shuang to knock off from work... then we decided to go some where else for a drink... the problem is decided where to go when we are in the car!!! LOL! we went to boat quay in the end. and i told them i got drunk few days ago here... they are not really into drinking, some have to wake up early tomolo. so we settled down at Coffee Bean in the end... ch, cong and me treated the girls and our lecturer the drinks, had my favourite ice-blended mocha myself... it was 11pm plus when we headed home. (our lecturer sent us home)... haven recover from the torturement samuel yesterday... damm tired
Creativex Festival
19/11/2004, Friday
meeting my camp mates as usual,going to the Creativex Festival (warehouse sales) at it's HQ at Jurong East, International Business Park. we suppose to meet at 1pm. but except for zw, all are at least 1 hour late... so went to Popular Bookshop to shop for a suitable CD holder to hold my original CDs and lyrics... Mohan and Yan Kit came after that... the shuttle bus is crowded with money-minded singaporeans.. so we took cab to there, anyway it's only $3 (shared among 4 person)... 1st thing i see there is people carrying "big bag, small bag"... Also is my 1st time witness people camp overnight to queue up for tomolo's star buy... seen a lot of products selling at unbelievable price. What really attracts me is the N200 and Zen Micro mp3 players... so tempted, but no money to buy... sad... only Mohan bought a V200 in the end, saying he supports FDS (there's a armoured vehicle named V200 in our camp).
Mohan left us after that to test out his new toy... 3 of us decided to watch "The Forgotten". it's not as good as i think, it's a science fiction thrillerwith a rather strange ending. an average show, not worth $8.50. but the movie shows that mother's love to children is unbreakable. went home around 9pm. tomolo have to book in again for 3 days duty, boring...

Turnout! Turnout!
17/11/2004, Wednesday
back to base for duty. routine work. boring life. turnout at 1am plus... not enough sleep again... PC say Golf (gate duty) personnels open the gates late by 2 minutes and use handphone duty on duty, so he want to see if we will disappoint him also... what a lame reason... for starters, he told us to run 2 rounds around the hangar with rifle over head (in SBO, of course)... he say that's the punishment for reacting "slow" to turnout... then 40 push ups, for another lame reason (which i 4got)... the main course of the day, we had fire drill, followed by intruder drill. Intruder drill is like playing real-life CS, we have to nail the intruder (PC himself) down... everything ended around 2am plus... sad, later still have to wake up for flag raising and duty at 5am plus...
2LT Samuel See Kok Chow, he's quite sadist and over garang... likes to book in in the middle of the night, and make life difficult for others.. thinks he got a lot of authority... they give him nick names like PC'C' and san mao, i juz call him samuel, nobody likes him, even the sergeants. What i think is, "Rank is what you wear, respect is what you earn.", he apparently don't believe in this... some of us think his actions is because MAYBE he's being abused during his childhood... who knows??? luckily i heard he's going to ORD soon, let's hope for the best...

Home Alone
15/11/2004, Monday
woke up at 10.30am... strange, I usually don't wake up so early after drinking... some more I wake up by myself! after washing up, I remembered have to help my mother record a TV show. so I started recording and then lied motionless on the sofa... trying to recover from my headache.. it's 2, 3pm when i fully recover. suppose to start studying for tomolo's Basic Theory Test (BTT), but too lazy to do so, anyway I cant study in this state... "What can I do now?", I ask myself. yah, i can watch the VCDs I bought yesterday.. it's so great to be home alone... firstly, watched the bonus VCD that comes with S.H.E "Encore安可" album... the VCD includes the 候鸟 MV and the shooting progress of the MVs and album photographs... S.H.E is so pretty, cute and funny!!! but what really makes is because they have their own character, always show their true self, and dare to voice out... well, of course, they also have great voices (that's y it's worth it to buy the CD)... the next VCD i watched is the movie "Pay Check". it's a good science-fiction thriller, with a great script... and then spent the rest of the day slacking around... it's midnight when i finally started studying for BTT.. slept at 2am.. zzzzzzzzzz...
Class 3 Basic Theory Test
16/11/2004, Tuesday
wake up in the morning... got basic theory test (for class 3, of course) in the afternoon. (took a leave for this, that's y no need to book in) reached BBDC (Bukit Batok Driving Centre) at around 1pm... conincidently met Kai Xun, Qing Shun and Kelvin Tan (camp mates) there, they are enrolling for class 3... LG came after some time, he's taking the test with me... done some last-minute studying in the canteenas we are about to go to the test venue, we saw a notice "please bring a blue pen for the test"!!! as we are told that the test will be a computerised 1, we are not sure the notice is true or not... after enquiry, they say the test is hand-written (coz the system is not up yet)!!! damm BBDC, din inform us beforehand... luckily the canteen sells blue pens... the test started around 2.15pm... it's suppose to last 1 hour, but some how the invigilator's watch got problem, he gave less than 1 hr! I still have 15 questions left when he say 15 minutes left! luckily i can finish in time, or i will hate the invigilator! looking back, besides a few tricky questions, i'm quite confident i got the other questions right... so think i can pass (hopefully)...
after the test, went to loitter around at west mall, because meeting jun xie at 7.45pm... loittering aimlessly for more than 3 hours is really a tough job... then finally met jun xie 7.45pm at Raffles Place MRT... he say want to introduce me a business... it's quite a new company with good potential, but I still need to consider because i'm facing serious financial problems... reach home near to midnight, damm tired...
