it's just coming closer and closer. what to do =\. eat grass or go with my passion haha. mingling around at funan IT mall with long time friends, catching up with them though we were never that close. a good hi and some chats are always good. haha.

a good chat with ryjm. some photo taking and it's certainly fun to be happily triggering shots taking photos. catching up with some of the clubsnappers such as janiel, xiaochong, stanley, louis, chandra and samantha. sharing photos and having a late lunch is just wonderful. it's been too long since i'd sucha meaningful day. thanks for everything =).

a long due picture presentation to some of my readers i suppose. and presenting...

my bazhang left foot!


hahaha. brian actually went to the chinese's physician! and he just rub rub and talk cock with me. hahaha.

doct : so what's wrong with you?

brian : my left foot hurts at the bottom and at the top part here.

doct : you just go in army is it?

brian : yeah and walk alot and i've been to ttsh for podiatry to make insoles.

doct : thats why you always have this kinda pain. it's because you walk too much already!

brian : WTF! then how?

doct : every time it hurts, just go MO and report sick then downgrade!

whahahhahahahahaha. no joke but at least it feels abit better now i hope. the sad part was that i was limping most of the time and couldn't put too much pressure on my left foot at all. i'm not faking this or anything. it really hurts alright!

so yeah. excused for a week from footwear because of my left foot pain and blisters due to the darn 12km route march. and i just realised that my eyes are forever red in tekong. i've no idea why as well. so my eye specialist's eye drop is forever in my pockets. gees and this week was super boring with no activities and we are all there slping or playing chinese chess. ARGH BORDOM.

and the hectic part was that someone from my company actually threw a soya bean can down and one of the commanders saw and was damn pissed off for some reason. so he made everyone fall in and hold it there in push up, crunches and high kneel position. all because no one wanted to admit who did it or no one can actually prove it either. so therefore our 'punishment' was to standby our cupboards by the corridoor.

yeah and we have to do that within 10mins actually. but they didn't really come up and check. then we all went to bed without cupboards by the side and woke up around 545 to push them back into position. after breakfast was standby universe...

wanna know what that was? we were suppose to standby everything they can think of. and that was really wtf no joke. though in the end, we didn't really stand by universe. the stand by bed and stuff was really a killer already. okok i'd better stop whining now. it's already 2000hrs and i'm stuck at home with my bazhang foot. gotta go meet stanly and gang tml at marina for coffee =\. not even sure whether i can make it or not. and this week is gonna be 16km route march.

it's just coming closer and closer. i've not really been eating grass since i'm in army lol. if i wasn't, i would really be eating some grass to survive. just for the simple dslr.

a special thanks to my wenling dear and angeline for talking to me on the boring times of my ns life lol.

it's been so long my dear blog, too long. and as usual, brian has appointments on monday and tuesday which leaves me to a long 5 day break including national itself. and tuesday was team singapore showing their display of fireworks. seriously it's been rather dissapointing but i was there to shoot with canon film and a borrowed lens from garion. thanks so much man. haha.

and went back to camp and had my 12km route march on friday afternoon which left me in blisters and pain in my left foot was pretty unbearable in some ways. it was already hurting 2 days before the route march but i carried on with painkillers in my blood. gees. and i felt chilly cold after like 8km and i knew something was terriblily wrong with me but i went on and completed it with pure endurance and help from my platoon sergeant playing stupid songs hahaha.

and as for today... went to suntec wcg to have a look around and saw sianrong garion DA and some others. hmmm oh yeah i went there with my buddy lol. was rather dissapointing with the layout and everything gees. but i think i saw ryjm there.

ryjm ; is it my eyes or are you putting on some weight?! haha. but it's good if you did.

and camping on esplanade bridge for around 4hrs with kieth jeremy and sherman. hahaha it was only 5+ and the bridge was filled with tripods occupying so much space =p hahaha. the whole display was pretty wide and too repeated somehow. but i love the colours part and the meteor showers lol. but it's just too wide and wild for my liking. awww.

pictures to be uploaded soon! waiting for madmacs to send me ^^

the demise of my grandmother. yes it happened last friday around twelve noon. at least i visited one last time the night before, before she passed on. and stayed awake the first day and night for about 40+hrs before my mother forced me to go to slp. hahaha.

my feet!

and i became a pro in folding those papers they use to burn. like we've to fold it into a shape of a ingot like that. so yeah i folded for about 5hrs to pass time hahaha. hmmm then my family took turns to rest and slp and we had some good food there as well =).

chickens! in geylang...

and oh yeah. i suddenly see ppls whom i've never ever seen in my entire life at all! gees. some relatives of mine. DAMN THEM. where were they during chinese new year man.

curry chicken! those we throw away...

so i went back on tuesday night and thursday was our 8km route march with FBO, which consisted of our field camp which is about 10kg i i think. our SBO about 3-4kg and our rifle. gees it's not that tiring but my blisters hurt alot =(.

after that we just rot in our bunks for about 2 whole days before booking out on saturday night. went home immediatly and went out for a family dinner. one which should have took place a long long ago. it has been so long since we had a family dinner together. =)

and my cousin's fat dog...

now time for some photos! hahahaha. i'm saving up for my camera, bike and iceskates! actually i can get my iceskates right now but there's no point as i'm not very free and theres only one skating rink which will get damn crowded during the weekends.

i'm having sore eyes again but it isn't that bad but just gets a lil' itchy at times. i'll be going for my eye specialist appointment tml. after that would be national day where we all get 1 day off and i might be going for ben's gig at liquid room again. or maybe go see fireworks with the the gang of photographers. shall see! see ya!
