yellow monitor.

my damn monitor spoiling soon. the colours are totally crap. like yellow cast kinda thing. i think i gotta go my auntie's place and get the lcd back here. it's really time to change to LCD for my works. oh well.

anyway camp is plain boring. everyday just go for lessons here and there. yups now to realise theres quite some fucked up ppls in my platoon. tsk tsk. anyway live with it. nothing much i can do. something that was troubling me was that my damn samsung phone cannot send out sms! argh so whenever wanna sms also give me this stupid error.

damn pissed off -.- at least did get by this week pretty fast. and got time to rest this week compared to last week's guard duty. err gotta go and prepare my stuffs. meeting up with sherman soon to get my cam and go bedok reservoir see see the wakeboarding and shoot abit here and there. haha

okay i had my nights out on wednesday and headed down to orchard to meet up with hidayah for a lil' short shopping spree. hahaha. it's always fun with you ya know =). and i swear! the "i love you" test msges are always the one that gets send out only -.- after trying to send out 10 msges or sth. lol. it's still fun.

okok gotta go now. hope i can upload some pictures here later on. <3

twenty four.

time passes by so slow when i'm on guard duty -.- gees. the first 2 hrs was like madness. standing there like an idiot for nothing and time really passes darn slow! but after that was alright i suppose. anyway the sergeant and guard 2ic damn nice to us also la. keep crapping with us and let us sit inside the aircon room when actually we were not suppose to.

didn't even slp much. maybe bout 3-4hrs only. from like 12-4am i think. oh well it's over and it was somehow fun. okok i'm pretty light headed now as well. and i puked twice when i was there. i think it has something to do with me being slightly sick with something and head was spinning. puked like saliva out. not even sure what's that. =(

oh well i'm packing my bag and heading out to the canon pro shutterbug event at cineleisure right now. too bad i couldn't bring my cam along =\. gotta go back camp directly after that. hmmm okok i gotta rush now. see ya ppls. hope i can save enough for a dry cabi and bag soon enough and find time for myself to shoot.

here's the link to my friend's animal photography. it's worth taking a look. he's doing freelance for dog's birthday. and ppls do spend more on dog's birthdays nowadays. hahaha.

moody.

"chao chee byeeee..."

that's always the first thing that comes outta my platoon sergeant's mouth. and i'm not joking about it. it's not in a rather fierce manner but it's more of antics from the way i see it. hahaha. alot of hokkien words and okay. he can say "okay" like 20 times in 1min.

"okay lesson proper okay. line laying okay, must lay zhun zhun okay. okay. ccb okay. knn you cb okay. okay okay joking joking. just to make the lessons more interesting okay."

and he's from commandos if i'm not wrong. a regular along side my course commander who's also the 2ic of the coy in SOTC, specialists operators training centre. yups i personally find the both of them pretty good instructors from my brief stay there. everyday is just lectures and tutorials. and i'm talking about 9hrs a day alright!

but the good thing is that the building where we have all our lessons is just right beside my coy and we don't have to much even like 50m. hahaha. so yeah lessons all the way and learning all sorts of communication devices. radios, electronics stuffs. cisco, voice prodecures and others. i don't even know what we did.

but there's alot alot alot of interesting ppls and fucked up ppls in my platoon i gotta say. for one thing, my platoon has like 35 unit ppls outta like a total of 40 ppls. the 5 of us are from btmc. yups yups. so thats like because all of them or actually most of them got out of course and posted to this unit. yeah they chaokeng for sure!

there's like a 2nd sergeant regular, guards ppls, engineers, signallers and others. and from the diverse background is bound so have some problems here and there. why? all chao keng like crazy and ended up here. my bunk has one that already out of course FIVE TIMES. yups another one chaokeng back injury. and excuse so many shit stuffs.

another bmt bunkmate of mine is sorta a white horse where his dad is a retired high ranking officer. LTC. arh fuck it la. don't wanna type so much about this anymore. i had enough! being the toilet IC is alright but during the really LAST LAST minute, my name was on the list for guard duty later on. and thats about 7hrs away? i'm not even sure whether i'm going to slp or not.

because of so many sudden chaokengs, i have to do a 24hrs guard duty. it's not the duty or going back that bothers me, it's the fact that's its so last minute till after i plan what i'm going to do then my name got added in. that's the thing that pisses me off darn alot.

chao cheebyeee.

and officially being a canongrapher and yet not able to see my baby this week. not even sure when i'll get to see her. anyway hi karen! anyway was chatting here and there with hidayah over the weekdays and lessons are just like that lor. haha.

but i think i've a problem with the water there. always giving my tummy this weird weird feeling. hais.

oh yeah read some article about steve irwin's daughter giving a tribute to his dad and stuffs. almost moved me to tears. =\

a whole new experience.

i'm so darn drained right now. a major headache coming soon and i gotta wakeup around 6am tml and go to my new unit =\. yes yes, i'm really looking foward to it but packing my duffel bag and field bag is anything but fun. yups just roughly finished packing the stuffs. it's really darn darn alot of stuffs to bring back. hopefully i got most of my stuffs.


and what else? these are some of the pictures taken by janiel at my POP. haha was pretty fun and holding it for the last time before i officially own my own dslr 2 days ago. yups yup. it's still in a pretty good condition and i'm still figuring out how to really assess the lighting situation and the controls. yups hopefully can get a fast lens soon.and going back was fun as well. a nice nice boat and a bus ride. alright thursday was a day of slacking and friday was a day where i collected my 350d and fired away! hahaha. and headed down to the chalet and had some fun alright. and the first day was pretty crappy with the rainy weather and i had to start the bbq in the rain.

we really started it in the rain. it was raining and we carried a umbrella and i started the charcoal. yeah yeah and some of them came over and started chatted all over again. hahaha slping over sucks =\. was too darn tired already. and took quite some photos but my cam is currently with sherman so yeah. shall upload next time.

the good thing that happened today... i contacted natalie! ... natalie loh that is. the cute lil' girl i coached and had lotsa fun with when i was in p.a hahaha. things for me to know only i suppose. just memories of the fun we used to have. yups yups.

and doggie will be back from thailand like tonight or something. not even sure. haha. a last photo before i go bath and really pack all my stuffs. and drag my duffel bag outta my room. i'm sorta very broke right now =(. brian's fund anyone?

a tribute to my idol.

Steve Irwin, known to most people around the world as the crocodile hunter died in a freak accident last week. pierced through the heart by a stingray when he was doing filming. a tragic incident to be remembered. i was totally stunned when someone told me that he died. =( a true animal enviromentalist and animal lover.

i realised that this week really passed very very fast. no idea why also. had ippt on monday which a injured right thigh from last week's soc which affected my standing broad jump. gees. and i didn't bother much about it after that. so yeah monday was over then. came tuesday and i don't even remember what i was doing.

wednesday was the day where the other ptp coys just pop and i sorta volunteer to help out with giving out those goodie bags and moving those barricades and stuff. haha saw some familiar faces within the massive crowd of 2600 i think. though was pretty tiring, we still had alot of fun doing it =)

thursday was the 24km route march though! man it was hyper. they stunned us with the news that we gotta start at 2pm. WE WERE WALKING UNDER MASSIVE HOT SUN! gees i don't even know what they were thinking. but route marches to me are just plain boring. we always need some entertainment somehow haha. the first 4km was to the reclaim land. which was purely torture. sand sand and more sand. it's like just dragging our feets around the sand.

but once we reached the halfway point for dinner, our morales were high again and the sun was setting so it was okay for me already. some couldn't handle the walk mentally but i was more afraid of blisters and abrasions only which i didn't have till the next day hahaha. the night walk was with my platoon sergeant's hp which played some great songs. hahahaha. and just walking and walking when everyone else seemed so shagged.

yeah that's more or less about it. just that some stupid cockup by some dragon ppls and we walk a longer distance i think. but the uphill slope was fun. everyone struggled but i walk just normally hahahaha. but hurt my back a lil' there =(. oh well. at least i completed it unlike some pussies in my bunk. =D

came back on friday night and man... it was hyper still! watched my anime and settle my usual comp stuffs to do. before i head to bed at around 2am. and sat morning was more slacking with some games and meeting casey in the afternoon for our usual stuffs. haha it's always fun somehow. then dinner at this thai sharkfin restaurant where i don't eat the sharkfins -.- and walking around orchard for awhile before heading to bbbc for ben's gig again! man it was madness i tell ya. i didn't drink but just enjoyed the music they played. kudos to them.

i'm currently listening to yukun's mixes. its good man. haha. and came home smelling like a big ciggie stick haha. woke up to take a cab down to mr sunfish's house to collect the tent he gave me and on the way back saw janiel who was just staying next to mr sunfish's block. ( i don't really know mr sunfish's name ) hahahaha. and chatted with janiel for quite some time. yeah i think he's the only one that would be going for my pop. yups. casey still can't confirm with me =\ darn.

oh well just hope for miracles haha. gotta go pack my bag now. <3

and yeah, i'm most prob getting my dslr this week. hahahahahahhaha! but would be eating grass after that.

another meaningless week.

i think we've been so free till we can spend like 3-4hrs sitting there and making our boots shine? yeah that's about it. sleeping. walking around. playing risk and monopoly. have one important activity a day. sometimes even none. great ns life.

and its like 10 more days to POP? yeah man. not sure who's coming anyway. but it's not going to be my parents for sure. oh well. had a great weekend. dota cs forums comex. retail therapy. a ciggie. and more cuddling time with my brownie. aww.

just pretty lazy to pack my stuff right now. and only slept for like 5hrs for both nights haha. oh well i've no idea what to blog about nowadays. mundane lifestyle. what to do? saving money for everything. but at least i bought a 100gb external harddisk. and almost got tempted to buy the audio technica earphones. gees. haha.
