is this a real thump?

I've been so busy these days.

So, here comes work! Good thing is I don't have to don office wear everyday. I think the more I wear these formal shirts, the more confident and comfortable I will be in them. Seems good for future presentations?




Office life is about computer, telephone, papers, stationery and a cup of coffee.











I was told that if I have nothing to do, I can do filing. -.-" I dislike doing filing. I don't even file my own worksheets during my school days?! Unless they were to be graded or I would be scolded if I didn't file, and these ppl who made me file were leesf vlee and slee. All Lee!? Seriouslee? Filing is what makes me so tired I think. My shoulder will ache. Oh and most importantly, filing is a brainless job. Separate into perm and temp, then arrange from a-z, then for each letter arrange a-z for second letter. I need my brains to be used!

While I was learning during the handover, I realised my attention span decreased significantly. I drifted off so many times, and had to force myself to get back on track. My memory is another facepalm issue. Even my handover aunty, oops, laughed at my ridiculously shrunken memory capacity. Is it due to army!? Or am I really so toot!?

Thankfully my colleagues and boss are nice people. I get to visit many different places for lunch everyday!





used to be my usual homedish: fried egg with bittergourd!















ice cream waffle at NYP!



After taking a look at the youngsters there, I'm surprised if someone from poly tells me he/she is not attached. Luckily I didn't go poly. My feeble heart and mind will never catch up with the 花花世界。




Still adapting..

One of my relatives in msia







Loves to imitate people and follow the laughter of others even though he doesn't really know what's going on. He will definitely be a great entertainer next time!


Too bad I'm not close with him...









Why doesn't my family promote bonding amongst relatives? Sigh. Some times I really don't understand what the previous generation is thinking. I shall not see this from my generation onwards.

I see people organising events via facebook and I can't help but shake my head. Sure it's an easily accessible platform for many. But I feel that it's not personalised enough. Some people who don't go fb will miss it out totally. Attendance of people will also directly impact the outcome of that event. It's different when it's an sms. Is it me or does fb make one less insincere? Or is that the prevailing dominance of trolling these days? Trolling seems to be advocating cynicism when it's overly abused. And I seem to be cynical here too. Heck it. Trolling is still a great source for amusement.

-----

So I scanned around my workplace for 20+s and 30+s guys. I was horrified. So next time I'll be like that!? They don't really care about their outlook. Guys are nerdy thin and frail. Girls are aunty or have thick makeup.

Not their fault. They focused so much on work that they have no energy for other stuff. For now I should still be ok with my pushup regime. And running! Half marathon is coming! Ah even without marathon, I feel that I ought to run at least once a week to keep fit!

-----

swusan's mum generously treated us again! It just reminds me of how long this group of 01 people has known each other. I might forget NJ's school song, but never ever for BP's. Okay probably because NJ's is a malay anthem hahaha.

Finally met up with people with whom I have spent 1.5yrs on the field. It feels great. More for the soldiers than for the sgts though. Crazy bunch of guys haha. All of us have moved on with our lives, and many of them are super high flyers. Go ahead and fly, I'll prowl in sg haha. I'm not very ambitious u know, neither am I capable of being so.

guonian said sth like, "wa lao eh I'm sick of forming relationships with people and then they leave for 5years!" He was referring to people who will be going overseas for further studies.

That's why I find it so hard to make friends now. My heart can't really take this kind of thing. So I cannot be a teacher who is too committed, or a NSman who sees batches of soldiers come and go, or ... some other job that nurtures people and make them fly.

-----

Second wisdom teeth extraction! Whoa this time I felt more during the LA. I was so afraid of feeling the pain when he was sawing my tooth. "What if he didn't inject properly!?" And I tell u the needles are really not joking. They are sooooo long! Blah you got to have great mental strength to embrace it. They provoke painful thoughts, but are actually not even as painful as a fall. I clenched my fists though, I think they help to transfer some blood to my hands rather than my teeth so as to delay the relay of the "pain" message from gums to brain and back to gums again. Just joking, I got no idea how it really works.

Like last time, first thing I did after the surgery was to sleep. When I woke up, I didn't feel any pain! Hmm not bad! Then I went to eat my porridge and OUCH!? Slowly, I finished the porridge and... I went back to JMC to take my antibiotics cos I forgot to take -.- Another proof of my poor memory. Then at night, I ate tau hway and OUCH?! Slowly, I finished the tau hway and... rested. 2hrs later I ate my porridge and surprisingly the pain WAS GONE! GONE GONE GONE! YES!!! Amazingly! swusan if u're here, u can take my advice of eating cold food, helps to close wounds, stop bleeding, and thus gets rid of the pain! I think? haha.

But I had to test whether the pain was really gone. I took a ba gua and started eating. YUMYUM the bagua was delicious LOL! :D That concludes 90% of my wisdom teeth ordeal. Stitch removal next week woohoo!

Huimin's birthday celebration at breko cafe at holland v! It was a pretty fun day with games.

After that was more talking session with yumei qp vivien at 302. I just need to sit there and listen to the conversation. So much information and so interesting! like FM201

Yumei's and jianyu's birthday celebration at watami! I was there for the cake and photos only, so I didn't know what happened.. But I got another 01 polaroid photo from yumei hahaha.







choonboon can be really cute eh?










-----

I lost my wallet.. AGAIN! 3rd time alr. Discovered its absence the next day. REALLY REALLY LUCKY to find it at foodfare! Thanks cleaners! 3rd time losing and 3rd time getting back my wallet. Must do more good deeds to accumulate good karma! offering free help-grandma-cross-road service~


I rmb it was lunch time and I wanted to go out and dabao my standard $3 杂菜饭. Then I realised it was raining. zzzz. So I decided to try cooking again.


That's 2 packets of noodles, 1 fried egg, 3 cheese hotdogs.












I learned my lesson. Never cook 2 packets of noodles with soup! TOO FILLING! But u can do that if it's dried noodles. As usual, fried egg was the best. Hot dog is just hot dog. Cheese was melted, but I still don't know how to make a cheese hotdog. It tasted like cheese and hot dog instead of cheese hotdog.

I wonder when I will push aside my laziness and cook again..


-----

Finally, after sending 100+ copies of my resume and answering numerous calls, I got a temp job! Ah. okok pay I guess, but it's quite far. Well, better than having no job!


I hope the working environment is nice, and that I'll perform well enough to stay cos I don't wanna go through the application process again..

After much delay, the long awaited wisdom teeth extraction.



The scariest part was the 5 injection needles. O_O The needles were so freaking long I tell u! But on the surgical chair, there was no turning back. Might as well face it bravely. poke poke poke. Numbness overtook me from the right lane because you are not allowed to overtake from the left lane. My head was covered with a surgical sheet. Then came the sawing. zzzzuuuuuu went the saw. I had no idea wth that oral surgeon was doing, but he was an indian and he looked funny, so I trusted him. Love professional and funny indians ^^ Soon, he stitched the wound and the surgery was over. Like, 15mins?! Cool. The sad thing is.. the pain comes after the anesthesia wears off..




I was kiasu so I quickly popped a pill of painkiller. Hours later, that same incessant pain came but it was bearable. BUT! 重点来了. 2hrs of sleep and the pain was gone! miraculously! I'm more convinced now that sleep allows one's body to heal naturally.

sherlock holmes has a part 2. So does my wisdom teeth extraction-this friday.

-----

Can't stand this kiasu tutee of mine... His mum gave me a plate of cookies to eat but I didn't feel like biting, so I asked him, " Do you want to eat? Is it ok if I don't eat? Cos I just extracted my wisdom teeth."

A polite kid would say, "oh sure, just leave it there."
A guailan kid would say, "I don't mind treating u my box of ferrero rochers now, u know?"

This kid just stared at me, with a tinge of tikoness, like I was supposed to start saying something, not him. ~awkward silence~ Then I asked my question again. He afk AGAIN! Then he replied, "I don't know. You have to ask my mum."

_|_ indecisive mama boy. Felt like using my pen and stabbing myself.

That was just one of the very distinctive mamaboy incident. Almost every bit of his actions and speech tells u "hello.i'm a mama boy.my mama told me i have to pee at 3am every night so i do it."

Wait, there's 1 more.
me: "Do you know how I can get to ION orchard from here?"
him: *starestarestare afkafkafkafk
me:"any bus or..?"
him: "yes I know. you can take a taxi."

_|_ I felt like licking him. He wasn't joking leh.


My other tutee was the opposite: a tanned cat high boy who looks promising and cool and most importantly is not a mama boy. Not saying that loving ur mum is wrong, don't get me wrong. This is just ...





u know!

那些年我们一起在msn countdown..

-super long post-

That's right. Now people don't even use msn anymore. It's very sad. I've had precious moments with msn..

First of all, I must thank msn for teaching me how to type fast and sensibly. It's a very important skill that I think many people still have problems with. For instance, a noob guy can type a whole lot of shit and no one can understand what-talking-him. How did I manage to type fast? Hmm.. I needed to close deals fast in maplestory, so I had to type fast to convince the other party. I was very excited while I was on msn because interacting through messenger was a rather new concept for me then. So as we chatted, my excitement made me want to type faster, just like how one flourishes in sports during heated moments.

Now I don't see people online, and even if they do, they don't reply. Sigh..

WHOOOOOAAAA WHAT A BUSY WEEK INDEED!

Clarence's xmas party!


















The carousel! At scott's hotel! It was very expensive $_$ my very first 50bucks buffet. The tiger prawn was nice! And that was my first time seeing a chocolate fountain! The choc was too sweet for me, but nvm, the combination of strawberry and pineapple with chocolate was the newzpaperz man.









the boys are back



















goal!! need to practise saying that more often to be able to clique with my fellow uncles in the coffee shop..












Then dance central! Dancing is very fun. Watching people dance is more enjoyable actually HAHAHAHA! dearest zuokun made me laugh nonstop. I think dancing videos are like wine: it gets better with age! Shall review it 1 year later..



Then tianfong clar yongchee ray let us taste their awesome cake. Ah.. nice. But I'm very lazy to learn how to make.















xmas gift exchange! got a nice lego notebook from raymond hahaha. yay!











Clarence's a very nice host. Thanks to him, vball lives.

-----

Last christmas, I gave you my heart. The very next day, ..

Boon's house party LOL!





I think we all learnt our lesson. LOL! half of the turkey here was uneaten. The stuffing was not stuffed before heating the turkey up. The sauce wasn't enough. Our stomachs weren't that big. So many problems! Poor choonboon had turkey meat for 3 meals x 2 days.











Too tired to immerse in the christmas mood..


-----

Maybe monday is a good day to rest! NO! Driving + tuition combo. V tiring. This combo happened again on the first day of 2012 and prevented me from taking a full nap T.T

I think I had 10 driving lessons already. I can drive le wheee! Some drivers just honked me cos I was slow.. please honk me only when u are driving a manual car like me. Bully me sia :( luckily my instructor helped me "eat" that guy. I must learn how to "eat" drivers. A tiger doesn't need to kill, but it needs to learn how to kill just in case it loses its reign.

-----

Then on Tuesday, it's megazip!

sorry swusan :( I hate to give up one of the co-founders for megazip, but that's the only way.. icecream kk? Well it was an experience for me, I shall no longer jio so many people. I wanted to express how frustrating it had been forcing people to prioritise this, but I guess it's better to just forget the details.

Despite the tough coordination, megazip was pretty fun! Positive response from 26th and 27th! Though we didn't get to experience that amazingly arduous climbmax 3rd level on the same day, I think we all shared a common problem in overcoming one of the elements then! Overall a very good once in a lifetime experience haha. Free fall was a shiok experience, because I'll never want to jump down from any height without a harness! But only for the first few split seconds -.- Rock-climbing! My favourite! I think my body is more or less naturally inclined towards climbing because even before climbing it, I knew I could easily overcome it. Such a breeze! hao lian a bit HAHA. Ahhhs, I really wanna climb again!

-----

After that was 01chalet.

一起长大的约定
那样清晰打过勾的我相信
说好要一起旅行
是你如今唯一坚持的任性
.
.
.

而我已经分不清

It was a promise made 2 years ago. But as time flies, its significance eroded..

Some how people have this idea that the majority will be there, so it's just "me" who will have special arrangements. In fact, everyone has this special arrangement. In the end only a couple few turned up. It's the same as punctuality. "oh I'm late cos I missed my bus", "oh I'm late cos I helped a grandma cross the road"... Everyone has his own problem, so where is the majority? I think kaisheng experienced it worse for one of his outings.

1st day: So when we reached, that asshole guard went to chaokeng for more than 30mins and he put a "out for patrol" on the door and dao my calls. Really asshole. Made me worry bout checking-in for nothing.

That's not all. That room was full of hairs. One might have thought that it used to be a hair salon. Thanks to jane's warning, me and kokli were well prepared. Oh and there were only qp kokli and me then. We started our army style of tidying up the place. No, I think we were even more thorough than in army. We used cloths and mopped the floor twice, cleaned and scrubbed the toilet and rubbish bin, picked up most of the hair, wiped the sofa table chairs, but we couldn't do anything to the bedsheet. To reward our efforts, we ordered domino's and shared. It's quite shiok actually . Not long after, ants came in from the outside again and I had to mop for a bit more before finally deciding that my efforts are fruitless. Actually how clean was the chalet at coasta sands previously? I forgot. But we didn't seem to bother so much then, and the floor was brown tiled, so dirt wasn't visible.


No the ordeal is not over yet. Then came an sms saying yf was coming over soon. That's mr.muscle and miss bodilicious coming over our humble unit filled with people who aren't really close with them! O_O Yup it was a hard time trying to make them interested. My teases on muscles seemed negative to them I don't know why.

2nd day: We went to buy bbq stuff, met up with some other 01, then went back to prepare food. Then we went to 吹海风 by the seawall, my favourite activity by the sea. If only the wind can make my hair more 帅，I'd go there everyday haha.

The trip back to white sands made us walk through the nostalgic lane, where we had to form up every sunday and board the bus and ferry to tekong. :'(


Are you enlisting? are you kidding me? LOL!






To be honest, even now, I will wake up and be shocked that I have ord-ed. After a frigging 1year 10months!?


Soon, it's night, and the bbq commenced.

intimidating aren't they? if u know what I mean. haha.


One of the best bbq :) easy to cook!







Then, 该走的都走，该留的也都留了。

How big is the difference? Let's analyse. muscles was supposed to stay, but left. red was supposed to leave, but stayed. Spiderman was supposed to defeat green goblin, but went shopping with maryjane. Batman was supposed to lim kopi with ahgao, but went to pull off that smirk on joker's face. Yup.

After that we played some drinking games, but sadly I wasn't able to drink a lot cos my stomach wasn't really occupied, so I was worried for my 肝爹。But poor jianyu..

must have a lot to drink. bangthebus!






I realised that I don't really like alcohol unless it's for forfeit, and I can't really tong late night sessions. I'm not a party animal after all.



All the way until morning. We went to 吹海风 again but brrr, it was so damn cold. Then I pondered about my goals in life, but still couldn't get an answer. I thought of some instances in the past when I could only scream upon reminiscence.


There were many times when I wanted to spice things up, but the opposing forces were too resistive. There was a boy who liked clara but he didn't want to trouble himself worrying about possible results of his actions in wooing her. So he chose stoning. How boring his life must have been.. 01 is a group that really likes to do nothing and talk, so perhaps activities next time should be more geared towards talking.

-----

So I tried being the wet blanket of the group with the "I don't want to spend so much money", and it was really a stupid feeling. I'm not saying we should just throw away our money when we go for outings, but not to the extent that you can spend 5k on a box of rolex tissue paper yet not 15bucks on a meal? Different people really have different priorities, it's ok, my bad.

What do I see in the 4 bfs? Balls. Yup that's the thing that is apparent. You can't be too muscular cos ppl will say it's disgusting. You can't be too tanned cos ppl will say you are like a banglah. You can't be too smart cos ppl will feel inferior and be speechless in front of you. You can't be too good cos ppl will think you are mr.good and you treat everyone else equally good. You can't be too sociable cos ppl will think you are just doing your routine interaction. You can't be too steady for any outing cos ppl will think you like to spend money.

In fact, the value of guys can be measured only to a small extent. A perfect guy with the above qualities might not have a gf because of the above. So, those qualities are important, but they are not everything. You need chemistry and balls. Chemistry is something that can be nurtured in time, but best if it's natural. But balls can definitely be learned. Time to have balls.

The thing is that love isn't something that allows you to reap what you sow. So when you are ready to use the balls you have acquired to woo the girl you really like, here comes some movie/drama and said something like "if you love her, you don't need to possess her". 讲真的leh. Like that let's just fall in love but be singles lor.

-----

The next day, there was a wedding dinner for dunno-who-relative at St.Regis. It was disastrous. My bros and I went up the stage to help him yumseng, then he asked, "who are they? nvr see them before leh?" and smile smile smile. @#$%#$^@ help u shout still complain. 去吃报纸啦你。


Anyway the food was nice, so ok luh, go there eat lor. High class.

only 7 course. Getting fewer and fewer by the day huh?














-----

Went to pageone warehouse sale and bought a $5 book. Cool. Shall find some time to read a book. The thickest book I've ever read is Harry Potter. Pathetic huh? Not studious enough.

Then dad's birthday dinner at chui xiang kitchen 醉香小厨.

chui and zui. whhh...?





-----

On new year's eve, there was an archery outing. Mega fail. Movie again. I think next time I'll just pon archery outings like ghimsiang.

Should be a very funny and interesting movie. But it's too fast-paced for me, especially when I was so lethargic from chalet..


Looks like I've got to download this movie and re-watch.














01 xmas countdown. Went to lele pot for steamboat. Why are fried mantous in the menu for steamboat? But nice haha. So was the cheese fries1 And the prawn! Oh god. Prawns. I love prawns. And I've eaten lots of prawns this week :D No photos here, so to help me reminisce, people going were huimin qingping jasmine louis bryan choonboon ghimsiang kaisheng jianyu kokli me, and a next-2-doors swusan.

After that we went outside mac to "countdown". Horrible, no place to fit us. I was really tired from chalet also, so we just talked and talked and talked.

Then we started setting our new year resolutions..

2011 resolutions:

1. 15 pull-ups by 2011 [DONE]
2. sbj 260 by 2011 [272 PLEASE]
3. 100% punctuality [sadly, no. but now i've got a watch. a man with a watch will NEVER be late again]
4. new shoes! [OBTAINED]
5. new bag! [BOUGHT]
6. less thinking, more actions [I definitely did more action this year]
7. keep in contact with friends [archery, 01, vball, army but not 05. stupid guard duties -.-]
8. run 2.4km in less than 10mins [ 9:38 GOLD :D]
9. try haagen dazs :D [YES! But I forgot when, need to reread my blog again]
10. learn how to play i'm yours using a guitar! and perform [I learned how to play the chords, but didn't perform!]

Okay, 7/10. Quite decent. I'm so happy that I've set so many goals and achieved so many in 2011, especially the gold in ippt.

Despite having achieved these, 2011 was not a smooth-sailing year for me. you naive kid. 2012 will be better!


MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION:
1. maintain fitness by doing at least 2 x 120 pushups a week, and run at least once a week!
2. find a job soon
3. get a decent grade in uni (i think it's 4.0?)
4. be more spontaneous and take more initiatives
5. try keeping long hair (i don't know why people will link to the guns and roses style zzz)
6. start reading books
7. get class 3 license

Seems boring, but who knows? ^^

I was glad when jasmine said girls do take some initiatives. Looks like my theory of mutualism was correct.

-----

Played enough after I ORD. I'm ready for the next phase of my life. Every now and then, I'll think of my army days, my nokia 1202, my sai gang periods, my lame style with topless guys, and smile...

limpeh wong u already! don't get hurt!

Just wondering how long the karma boomerang takes to come back. It doesn't really do me much good in seeing bad guys getting punished, except the derivation of thrill in my belief of fairness.

Anyway, at this period of time, there is the aarontan's fail video and SMRT's fail trains. Together, it's this!







LOL! Gotta give credit to netizens. They are really creative. SMRT's smashed window + ryanxz gobangwall = ryan banging out of window in train. HAHAHA

Just when I was losing hope, a trip to Mustafa gave me instant levitation, with a halo as free gift.



O.O



ssa011j2!




66% of my expected price! How cool is that! But no warranty! But warranty is only for mechanism, and given seiko's trusted made-in-japan quality watches, mechanisms don't spoil so easily, so warranty is useless!

This watch has everything that I want! Automatic, sapphire scratch-free glass, good-looking, leather strap, within budget, roman numerals, date display, black, japan movement (actually as long as it's not china). Just 1 more day display and this will be perfect! But it's not really important anyway!

happpppyyyy :D:D:D time to scrimp and save. 说到省省省省，哥哥最棒！

So, driving seems easier and easier alr! But I still feel nervous every time I'm driving and a bit reluctant to go for each lesson :( half-clutch move is an ass.

First time try on listening to music while jogging! WHOA! Jogging becomes less boring now woot! As of now my standard is 4x1.6km bp route. Gotta increase to 8x1.6km before my run!

That hairdresser told me I've got at least 3months before cutting that hairstyle that I want, and I still don't know if that will fit the shape of my head.. Then I thought of reservice->short hair. Wa.. Wait 3months only for it to be shaved again during reservice, then I need to wait again! zzzz nvm, it's worth a try. You can't expect an old 40year old uncle to go out with a stylish hair right?

-----

TUITION! FOUND 2! LOL! 2 x O level students. I love O level math cos it's sooooo easy and I don't need to prepare anything at all. $_$ 请多多指教，照顾一下我的钱包！

Hopefully under my guidance, they can get A's for their exams.

-----

Nearing the end of 2011.. I'm looking forward to clar's xmas party, boon's male fiesta, mind-boggling(I typed mind-boggling and then eh? my mind can blog?) megazip, the supposedly-long-awaited 01 chalet, wedding dinner at st.regis 7star hotel, seafood buffet. Oh my god. All these are happening from tmr onwards!? Even my mother also starts to nag me 哇你不要整天出去hor！

That also means all my $$ are gone now..

Then the stupid recruitment agencies cannot match jobs properly one. *TEMP ADMIN JOB $7-9 WEST O/A/ORD PERSONNEL WELCOME TO APPLY! LOTS OF VACANCIES* the advertisements are somewhat like that at jobscentral, but after I sent my resume with my expected salary "$7.50/hr", people still call me "Hi, may I speak to weijian? May I ask if you are still looking for a job? Okay I got an admin job for you and it's near your house. (ohhhh nice nice nice) It's $6.50 per hour."

O_O?! $7-9 becomes $6.50. What shit is this man. Give false info!? Seriously?! Not 1 or 2leh, almost everyone who called told me that.

That's why I still haven't found a job with office hours and at least $7/hr that is near my house. Got some already submitted luh but no news of me getting shortlisted for interview.

Most of the jobs also have this: *accounts assistant required! min 1 or 2 years of exp!* -.-" How am I supposed to gain experience before I start working? They need experienced workers but people can only gain experience when they work. How? Going round and round in circles and finally the dog caught its own tail?

Just give me a job already..

After quarreling with my brother, of course I would be mad at him. But a few hours later, everything just goes away. That's a pretty good feeling. Brotherhood.

-----

Life has been normal lately. Seems like my desire for watch has simmered down. But that is mainly due to the forthcoming economic downturn in 2012. When that happens, exchange rate will change. My watch could be cheaper then ^^

Now I understand why uncles wear singlets at home: army. Bcos of army, many of us were half-naked or just wore a singlet in our admin time cos it's more cooling! I've been practicing my army habits at home now, but on the other hand, ISN'T THIS A TRANSFORMATION TO AN UNCLE?! O.O 30 years from now and I could be wearing a singlet at a kopitiam and crossing my 二郎腿while drinking a cup of kopi o gao. Not very surprising.

So, badminton on Tuesday, and badminton on Friday. Badminton is not fun when you play strokes for the whole game. People like me will slack and joke around. Therefore scores are important motivators.

Then we watched the 2nd best show, after winter's bone: east meets west.




zzzz I don't know why this movie was made in the first place..






It's really shit.

-----

I realised that it's possible to be early, even if there is no one forcing you to (eg: army). All you need is that extra effort to push yourself. Ever since I made that new year resolution to not be late, I kept getting late for outings. Never again. I'm not someone who gives excuses. I must be punctual next time.

-----

Some things comes with maturity and cannot be rushed. I was struggling to exert power on the ball in sec 2, but in sec 4, after a nice dream, I could spike properly. I was struggling to smack the feathery cock in sec 1, but in sec 3, after a long break in badminton, I could perform a smash. I was struggling to do pull-ups, but one fine day in army, I did my first ever no-cheat-very-honest pull-up. I was hoping my sincerity and modesty would help me in attracting someone from the opposite gender, but as days went by, in 201X, I..

All that happened out of the blue. So I thought the only factor is time and maturity. As I grew older, I found it easier to be more aggressive in games. Maybe when I am more mature, I will be holding hands.

-----

The rain these days kept disrupting my plans to run. A certain part of me was actually leaping for joy that I can't go run though. Project ppn continues, but maybe less intense now. I don't wish to grow bulkier anymore. That would mean protein powder, or a change in diet. I don't have the $$ to go for either one. Furthermore, after watching <<那些年，我们一起追的女孩〉〉 and this website http://www.feveravenue.com/a-females-perspective-the-singaporean-man-vs-af/
, I think size is not the top priority for girls.

So, maintaining is good enough for me, maybe add in a few runs to train for the upcoming half marathons in 2012!

我知道你我都没有错
只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给的承诺
全被时间扑了空

我知道我们都没有错
只是放手比较好过
最美的爱情回忆里带去

是时候退后了。。

-周杰伦 退后-

everyday is saturday

Lost track of time.. everyday seems like saturday to me. Days after ORD are shiok.

Went for 2 more interviews with recruitment agencies (lame shit). They are really useless ppl. I saw one guy from NTU Business doing recruitment at recruit express at taka last or last last week. Siao, he got 4th class honours or what? Why need to do this kind of insecure job with shit pay? Anyway all the interviews are about filling forms, pairing u up with the jobs that they have on hand, and if u are not an immediate worker, they smile, shake ur hand, and ktnxbai.

1 of them, recruitexpress from JTC building, told me, "Wa your expected salary so high ah, even ppl with experience settle for $6 per hour only leh". But my friends got at least a 7! >:| I'm not china worker ok.

Slacking at home could be really energising. Firstly I sleep at around 11 everyday, quite early. I wake up at around 9-10 everyday, don't know why I need to sleep for so long. Then it's refresh fb, play iphone game, lunch, refresh fb, afternoon nap, refresh fb, dinner, refresh fb, sleep again. Standard slacking. Sleep sleep sleep sleep. I nvr get tired of sleeping eh?

But the weird thing is I was quite tired this whole week. I don't feel like playing dota when I have nth to do. I'd rather sleep.

Then on wed, badminton, table tennis, decoder's cafe!

Badminton was rather fail, bcos I warned of the stupid sports hall that allows glaring sunlight to enter and blind players' vision, yet we went ahead to play. Why are there no sports hall in central area?! Right, CBD, no need no sports.

Then table tennis.. 我要玩1v1, 不要2v2啦. Listen alr also dulan. Play solo sports to show off ur individual skills. Hello we are not in a competition here. Play 2v2 for fun only, and can allow more ppl to play, wan to show off then go nude in the public toilet and flash flash. What can I do? Just go along lor.

At decoder's cafe, the fun started to unfold. From 7 to 4 men. Seriously don't give face 1. Travel so far to Clementi for an outing, stay a while longer for the outing ma, aiya I also don't know what to say. But anyway it was super hilarious in the cafe. The games were not funny. We were! Acting like neighbourhood kids looool.

Another singing session with army frens. Funny also. I don't know why but I like to be a lil immature when I'm with the army clique. I miss dancing with jingx jerm and myron alr.. 01guys are too rigid.





Yes, the whole city is full of golden pigs. LOL! We need stuff like this to brighten up our days.

































post ord: these kids are too free.

There was one night when I went to clar's hse for mahjong. Played a lil of SF IV, then started the mahjong. yongchee started distributing the chips, ok, for better reflection of our standards? So the game began, with me only knowing how to 碰碰胡 and 平和, and not exactly know how to count 台. As usual, I joked around, lala, play this and that, on the move learning. An example is when I'm 莊, I told everyone to prepare to play 5 consecutive rounds, meaning I will win 5 rounds in a row. That came true, but all small wins by me! 1 of the rounds was an intentional draw lol. Then at the end of the game, we counted the chips, ah, blah blah, u won xxx, i lost xx, hahahahahaha. Then came the wallet.

O.O

I didn't know we were playing money! Luckily I lost $0 and won $0 in the end. I was shocked. Had I known, I would have played more seriously, or not played at all lol. I'm not a fan of gambling without special occasions..

Driving has become much more enjoyable and simpler now... It's amazing. It's like learning dota for the first time, having the need to multi-task. But once u get the hang of it, multi-tasking is quite exhilarating.

there was one turn that was so steep and I was at 5th gear, so, I drifted instead of slowing down. Simple. Just tap brake slightly, clutch in fast, change gear, hard accelerate, steer. Voila, your car can go deliver tofus in Japan now!

Just joking, drift 个屁。Get fined, license get revoked, go jail ah.

Yes, and thr's sth else. Watch! I've been spending a lot of time reading forums, checking out prices, functions etc of watches. Thanks again China, for screwing up everything in the world. Because of your cheap labour, everything is assembled in your country. The thing is prcs are unethical, unprofessional, dishonest and despicable. They will do anything to save money, such as using melamine as an ingredient. Because of this, I saved myself from buying Kenneth Cole watches.

What's left is a ssa011j2, and a spr005 from seiko. Still undecided whether I should spend the money on a watch, given the obliteration of the timekeeping function of watches now. It really is just an accessory.

So ghimsiang was standing on his point of view and giving me pointers. Some of his arguments are that one doesn't really use a watch: one only wears it; there are other items that I can buy to look good, like a pair of shoes, blazers, shirts, etc; and one might as well buy an expensive watch, or never buy a watch at all because mid-range watches are half-fucked. He suggested expensive fountain pens instead of watches as an accessory bcos at least pens can be used and expensive ones can suit one's writing style with added comfort.

What I'm disappointed in myself is how weak I am. I cannot fight for my point of view on the spot. My points only start coming in later.

Anyway all that is rubbish to me, and I believe some of men's important items are watches and shoes. $_$ let me decide for 1 or 2 more weeks. Maybe this desire will be extinguished.

One of the disadvantages of ORD is the huge drain on my wallet. So no more free food for me -> $ for meals. No more trainings to preoccupy my time -> $ for entertainment. No more tuition + allowance -> draw $ from reserves.

It's quite scary if I don't exercise some control on my expenditure..




Along with my army days, nokia 1202-2 has gone to the past. I will never forget my msges with u, my courage in u, and my lonely moments with u. U have served me well by never failing to function like a basic phone even though I dropped u hard a couple of times. Next time I see u will be the time when I tell stories about my army days..





I bet there will be a surge of emotions when I see nokia 1202-2 in the future. For now, HAIL IPHONE!

Banana skins are meant to split. They will cross if there is will, apparently not now. Give me 9months. Metapod will evolve.

this song is very secondary school.. I just realised I don't have this song in my itouch/iphone, but I can remember all the lyrics. amazing ljj


like a sparrow looking at an airplane, I thought I was good but.. what went wrong
weijian

turn to your right, go run 2 rounds around the parade square!

seriously, tekan in the last week of army? haha, fun!

yes, this 阿兵哥退伍了！From boy to man.

I remembered that while marching, I felt this sour feeling in me and I was struggling to fight against my tears. Then came the slight drizzle to add a tinge of blue onto our faces, and that blueness sank all the way to our heart. The melancholic marching music beckoned nostalgia to loom before me as I reminisce the key events for the past 2years..

BMT
Standing before Ninja company with my duffle bag and waiting for my name to be called.
Falling in for the first time to the training shed to shave my head.
Scared of doing things the wrong way (for what, now I wonder..)
Khairi was really really scary..
Dying at the first 4km march
Lectures to slack in
Seemingly endless AGR
Worrying for my fitness
Heavily dependent on 01 outings to survive weekends

UNIT
Noob feeling
Lucky to stay near camp
Tattoos, cigarettes, vulgarities, slackers
Bonding
Going for field camps as routinely as the brushing of teeth
Slacking with friends and hoping not to get caught
Acting smart during NDP in front of civilian girls
Discussing a lot about girls
Going overseas for many days (Wallaby 1)
Understanding why one must be selfish, yet impressed by the selfless minority
Joking a lot more than usual
有福同享有难同当
Attained the pride of getting gold in IPPT
Field camps with civilian food
Tuition
Braces
Guard Duties
Understanding why the more committed you are, the more harm you do to yourself (Wallaby 2)
Free offs
ORD


One of the most regrettable things during army was my failure to get into command school. I blame my lack of understanding of the SAF system. Why was I so afraid of army then?? I forgot. I should have been more logical in thinking, that the worst punishment can only be guard duty, not death or whatsoever -.- That fear led to this..

But that turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Being a man of Cougar company, I got to be on the receiving end, be it punishment or reward. Compared to commanders, I experienced stress in a much smaller extent. Believe me, it really sucks to be working with the mono, unless I was an officer. Had my sergeants not have this few bunch of selfless people, the whole of platoon 9 would either be quarreling or punished. Thanks noel watay jingyang sam amyas. Thanks kevin zhenghui jingxuan for being understanding enough to follow our friends to do saigang and suffer together. Thanks jeremy for always giving priority to platoon 9 when it comes to armskote. Love you all, and will miss you all. Sergeants and officers also don't get this kind of bonding amongst themselves. Lucky me eh?

I, Corporal Goh, salute myself in the mirror for getting through this shit, learning independence, life lessons, made new friends, and ORD safely! 吃的苦中苦，方为人上人！I sincerely hope that we will still get to meet up.

As proud as a lion, as loud as the colour pink, I screamed, "ORD LO!"
