Prep for the week

Its dang back-to-camp-time again, this time I am armed with more stuff for the week, namely 9 magazines (the most in a week so far), gameboy to keep me time-filled in camp, maybe... too during the guard duty on tuesday. Hopefully I would be able to book out on friday, so I can take my driving lessons on...

A “worthwhile” day

Today will be unlike most of my usual saturdays. Namely able to actually get out of camp with energy to go to the driving center (Bukit Batok) for registration, shop and even spend the night out after a long hard shag week. And so there I was book(ed)-out, hailed a cab for a 6 bucks trip to...

This ends this sunday.

Today is another day spent a home, not a day wasted but very much more productive than the previous week. First of all, got in touch of one of my "long lost" cousins. Hadn't met her for quite sometime. She found me on friendster, kinda unexpected though and we did have some good time chating, keeping up...

Its sunday, lets talk bout saturday

Didn't find time to get to Bukit Batok driving center yesterday, as book-out was quite late in the afternoon. Its time to get my fitness back up again last week with two 4km runs within 22 mins and 20mins respectively, not bad considering I had not trained for 1-month+ Home time is net time as usual. Did some...

Back to camp

Tonight is book-in day again, after one month of out-camp training... *sigh* good "luxuries" have to come to an end. Got all my barang barang packed and ready. Here we go. Currently Listening: Tatu - 30 Minutes (3:23)
Site Updates

Site add-ons

As you can see, there are a few minor site improvements and add-ons, namley the rss 1.0 feed. Other than that nothing much though... Currently Listening: Moby - Star Wars Rmx - Oracle (5:17)

Bloggar

Well, this is my first posted entry using w.bloggar's niffy blog posting program, not bad I say it is a souped up version of blogger's templates, only that the interface is definitely more user-friendly towards people who don't really know much html or web-based scripting language. For me, I am just too lazy to compile my scripts...

@^#*# Input devices!

Played some CS on Xpcases.com servers and a little warcraft 3 in the morning. After some experimenting here and there, I found out given the different playings styles available, the agreesive, "rush first" tact will tend to get you the most frags, but too with a high death rate, but you can easily take out 2-3 guys...

LONG WEEKEND!

"Get your stuff back by 8pm tonight in FBO with camo on, we would be going for a 7 day field camp afterwards" said my PC.. *all stunned*... Haha, but it was only all a joke which left many of us very much momentarily shaken today after work. Though some of us expected it to be a joke,...

Bike license, finally!

After arriving at the driving center this morning, the usual radio tuned @ Class 95FM was usually noisy at the locker shed. Namely making "noise" (aka celebrating) bout the Subaru Impreza challenge- a winner finally emerged after 66 hours and 53 minutes. Who? 36-year-old David Gerard Felix a chief flight steward won the car, finally... heheh, it...

Wake, surf, pack, game, eat, sleep

Today is no spectacular day, just another day into the records for lazing around the house and playing computer games... Uh well.. at least I did do something productive.. like say adding a 5% to the completion of Mission Impossible aka project-tidy-my-room-up before my parents freak me out. Otherwise, its in for more slacking till tomorrow, yea...

Thoughts for thoughts

Stores everywhere are putting up Christmas deco now, even before taking down their Halloween ones.. urgh! My mum obviously had nothing much to do, pulling me and my sis to a beauty spa at Midpoint, boring! Marche was the place for dinner and drinking yesterday, the grill area is having a chicken mushroom stew with mashed potatoes......

Ekk! Nokia again?

It had been sometime since I've used a dinky Nokia phone, (considering that my 1st two cellphones were Nokias, 880 and 3210). I had been a happy Siemens user since, always anxiously hoping (and waiting) for the release of the SX1 smartphone. But Siemens is very good at keeping their customers waiting- far better than I've ever...

Pillion

The was dirt bike off-road training today... I love the dirt (not literally), just feel that I-am-one with offroad vehicles, love the way they roar and handle over all terrain conditons, its just shiok, (esp clearing high hills motorcross style). Furthermore, rode with and as a pillion today, both at a circuit and PIE/CTE later on, got...

Another pass to the collection…

Mmm, so whats new? I mean passing bike tests in arow don't seem to offer much kick now, not to mention those who tried very hard to pass (opps!). So why the *freak* did I mention this? yea, becus I passed my public road riding test today... another test?... *raises arms momentarily* yay! oh well, *sniffs* One...

Lazy – I like!

So what to do in this humid sunday afternoon... Its JAVA MADNESS again, and there I was downloadin' tons of freeware java midlets of the net. And there was the 2 dictionaries, (one Webster one.. whee) to name afew: a thesaurus, 20+ new games, scheduler, pda functions, movie and image viewers, email cilents, first aid manuals, references,...

Eat eat eat! (Marche BMT Dinner)

This is one outing I sure would not miss, considering that Johnson, my BMT bunkmate kinda "booked" us 1 month in advance for this outing (as we are always constantly unavailable). 6 of us (Johnson, JJ, Xingjian, Xiangrui, Jimmy & me, though we met Edwin unexpectedly later on & yea.. Dominic could not make it) managed to...

100km and beyond

It had been a day of firsts, namely travelling in the public road the whole day and working overtime (7am-9pm). Riding on the road is not so scary now, as I am more used to it by now. And yea, there was night training today, primarily to give us the experience of riding in the dark (therefore...

Dangerous

Yicks! riding a motorbike on a public road had never been so dangerous (as I thought to be): Having big 10 wheeled dumpers, lorries, buses whizzing past you, vehicles tailgating, cutting in your lane, failling to give way to you, illegal turns and so... Fresh out of riding school (and being very traffic law abiding indeed), this's...

Motorcycle prac test

Yippe! I've passed my skills balancing test today, together with my E-brake, push start and chalking up only 6 points in the circuit test. Thats 3 test hurdles passed throughout this driving course so far. Though its true that 1 outta 4 people won't pass the test (10 out of 40 in this case), just hope that...
