Army

Its just like another weekend.

Having christmas day off camp is just like having another weekend (book out the day before and back the very next night) when you come to think about it, we NSFs are actually working 6 day weeks in the army, talking about worker exploitation! And on top of that we work 72 hours a week without overtime...

Christmas lunch with fam, Swee Lee closed

Dropped down to Bras Basah Complex for lunch with my family and to enquire on my new guitar at Swee lee music store, but they are closed. Quite expected as they failed to answer my repeated calls to their showroom. However as stated on their website they are opened on public holidays. But an apologetic piece of...

Christmas in 15

Dinner was at the Mariner's restaurant at the singapore maritime center. It was actually an eating place open for mariner's who stop by here in their sail/shipping trips. But now its opened to the public, if not they won't be getting much of customers either in this era of transport efficiency. The food is generally good but...

Chirstmas eve dinner

I am back from camp, all much really in one piece, almost got a fever last night (37.3) after some major mud pool crawling in the day. It just that typical cold and hot feeling- a tell tale sighn of some fever coming. Whats more we have to even eat lunch, rest and march back to camp...

Christmas is coming in 4 days yea and it's shopping time too. I had never gotten my hands so full and spending so much money in such a short time, but hey that only happens once in a year! On the lookout, the weather forecasts more melted snow falling in drips from the sky these days, good...

Weekend Enjoyment

*sniff* *sniff* Well, the flu outbreak here almost got me last friday, but I am happy that the fresh air we get from outfield jungle training clears sinus real good either- talking bout a thick layer of nose wax in there. *dig, dig* *roll* *catapult* ....*ducks return fire* Last night's dinner was good, held at Orchard Hotel, my...

SX1 here soon…

Most handphone stores are now spotting an area in their showcases with a modeled version of my intended SX1 smartphone, (all coming soon they say), they did better do!. Currently Listening: DJ Tiesto- Forbidden Paradise (Deep Trance Mix) (4:15)

And whew.. I got a GBA SP now…

Didn't know the gamboy game Mario and Lugi superstar saga is such a hot game and tops at gamespot either, glad I got that game. The photos of my bike course are developed, not bad I say. But I guess it would be forever when I could even find time to ge tthem scanned Currently Listening: Lionel Hampton...

A rather “perfect” weekend

Got one of my coursemates, John to give me a lift in his dad's car to clementi MRT station after booking out from camp yesterday, after some tough training. There was one group who initially wanted a junk food junk-out after losing considerable glucose levels during yesterday morning's power training. But it was all turned down due...

Mega Combo dude

Last week was a week full of missions, both interesting but rather demanding as well. It was like having 3 topo exercises all in one week, a mega combo dude. Did 7km in 36mins this week, not very good I say. Thurs had an expected nightsoff day, dropped down to orchard to reco a new phone for...

Lotsa crap worth noting…

In am in the mood for a long entry, hey so what word processors and spellcheck for right? they just invite you to spew out "text" so easily... This is gonna be quite a long entry, mind my blabbering... And so there was me, pretty much cracked yesterday whether onto getting the Garmin 12XL GPS ($330 ouch!) to...

Unexpected entry

Didn't expect to be back home tonight, anyway would be up at 5 am tomorrow for breakfast at some nearby food center before heading to camp for guard duty. The thought of it just makes you even more sian considering all the guard duties I've did since I enlisted (BMT-1, Sispec-1, now in unit-onemore?) were all 24hr...

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)

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...
