The morning-afternoon period did felt very relaxing and good... should enjoy and relax more.

Some starhub promotor, Mr Low called on the phone to promote their maxonline 1500. Though I usally...
Woke up at 12 noon today considering the lack of sleep the last few days, with my family out for my sister's tution. Love the new curtains, bedspreads, ambience and very "red deco" my mum had been put in the living room as part of chinese new year's tradtion, very nice.
And so it ends... the tedious 6...
There will be another fieldcamp next week, the last one in my course, marking the end of life a trainee and HELLO unit life! It wil be held at Tekong from early next week lasting till bout saturday-sunday (6-7days). Things to look forward to next week would hopefully *a-hem* be lesser rainfalls (it can get rather messy...
Didn't go out today, partly because I was too lazy to do so...
Managed to get one guitar playing and experiementation today, pushing the amplifer settings gain (distortion on) to bout 6, mid -1, reverb nil, bass maxed and treble -2 will produce a good acoustic tone on the bass strings while strumming on the other 5 strings...
Its a lazy morning today... so what can I do but kickstart it with a nice breakfast watching Disney's Inspector gadget movie 2 on the computer... Pretty got me up and going. Met up with my platoonmate John who drove down to pick me up in his mum's car for some army and games shopping at beach...
The last week is one which truly tests one's ability to carry in all weather conditions- both in the sun and rain. Is was definitely not a "very" wet week but sometimes I feel that rain always come always so at the right moment when you are outdoors, in fact on two occasions (Mon and Wednesday). Personally...
Its slightly less than 1 week into 2004 and my mum is all ready putting on chinese new year decorations around the house, all red, I see. Well Chinese new year is around the corner too, very exciting wonder how much ang pao money will I get this year....
Breakfast was special, as intended we, as a family...
Slept on the bus on the way home today and missed my stop, one of the dumb things I ever get to do in life... I am just super tried today, normally I would try to stay awake to enjoy my weekends but today's an exception- having slept from 4.30am only to wake up at 7.25am yesterday...
So much for new year's day, I just wanna update the blog on some new stuffs I tried today before booking back to camp, namely acquiring a new interest- paintball!, with Tippmann USA having a gun of my liking, the A-5. Orchard CC is the place in Singapore with a paintball fighting arena, not to mention...
Well, its new year's day, the morning! A fine day so far, the ambience, the breakfast, the hopes for a nice good 2004. Didn't have much time to recap actually what happened yesterday in my previous post, so I would just get blabbering on this one. New year's eve, booked out of camp around noon, got home,...
The fireworks are up, so are the crowds at the esplanade/ esplanade bridge. There was more fireworks there than last year's lasting bout 20minutes worth of continuous fireworks at the bay area. Not bad, not bad. I just love the "twilight" period between christmas and new year, everyone's just simply crazy- everybody's always happy, smiling, like going...
Argh! fingers are aching like crazy today aftersome practice time with my new guitar, just a bit more tries over the weeks and I should be able to get the hang of it and become immune to the pain.
And so its the last sunday of the year, also the last blog entry before I head back to...
Yea, got my guitar today, a Washburn WG228 electric guitar, plays well on the clean and distorts. On the technical side, it spots a humbucker/single coil/humbucker (H/S/H) setup, Floyd-Rose tremlo with locking system and a well finished fretboard and polished greenish-black body throughout. Very worth it for the price range. I settled for an ibanez practice amp...
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...
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...
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...
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...
*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...
Today we are going to have a buffet dine-in at Tokyo Shokudo. The establishment is a Japanese inspired halal-certified hotpot buffet restaurant with a...
