over the wkend, i was ddeeply exhausted. was suppose to haf dinner with my frds rite? in the end, postpone to this fri. it will also b a farewell for one of them. then so far, from wat i know, my pre u sem group of 16 will shrink to 13 with 3 of them overseas. mayb come next yr, it will shrink one more, me. this wkend was also suppose to attend the mass com bash, ntu at MS but it was too late for me to attend it as i was attending my JC's anniversary. oh well.. slept real late on sat nite. still went clubbin but went somewhere else. sleeping late is not gd ah. must listen to kor kor's words ah. the next day, it affected my concentration during my driving lesson. oh well... lets not talk about my wkend. tired is the main word of tat wkend.
this coming wkend, i hope i can actually take long wkend. coz i have a med appt in the afternoon of friday n would love to extend my long wkend by a few more hours.
today is only tuesday.. 3.5 more days till wkend! hurray!!

saw singapore idol juz now. singapore really lack of talents? our only resource are our people. goodness... but that last contestant is GooD!
talking about talents. i feel very much for the athletes in athens. doesnt the 2 words haf much similarities? esp lee jia wei n ronald. in my eyes, one thing tat singapore sportmen n women haf to improve is their mental strength. let not the burden of a nation weigh down on their concentration. it's the hopes of the nation tat makes them lose all concentration. i could see it in lee jiawei's eyes in the semi finals. n even more obvious in the 3rd/4th placing playoffs. the newspaper said tat Singapore has few athletes tat we all can place hopes on. the ad about thanking those who managed to go far in the Games, is quite lame. defeating the purpose. juz makes us feel tat we were so so near n yet so far. 4 yrs away... haiz...
LONG WKEND!! HOOHOO!!

my coffee appt with my pre u sem frds seem to not b able to pull thru. okie. for JIAHUI, we shall shift it to next fri or next sat. depends whether the rest can make it too anot. i'm good with these 2 days. hope jeremy can come along. i mean hardly anyone else other than the few of us meeting up. coffee n dinner.
complain n complain. be in my shoes n u'll understand why i complain about them. today yet again, someone who is 1 yr older, but junior in rank n service in the army, but senior by a few months in that department, juz told me off. dude, i tried my best n here u r not encouraging me to learn. hey if i'm really tat mean, i would juz let u do everything. i'm sure i can find reasons not to do it. or run away from the job. i haf less than 300 days in that ugly place. dont wan to tink about work off work hrs. it's lunch time!

1) finally, everything has settled down. no longer m i going down to yishun after work. i'm not complaining. if by being there, my godma can feel beta, i would even rush down in a cab so tat i can b there longer than wat i usually does. how does it feel to b in her shoes, i imagine. it hurts alot seeing her like tat. to b in her shoes, it hurts even more. at least these things din happen to her when she's young, immature. she tried to hold back her tears. she doesnt want the pple ard her to worry about her. that's my godma. but i know, it hurts. over the past wk, i knew she wasnt able to accept the fact tat her father has passed away. how to? everyone hopes for the best. on our way to the crematorium, even thou she's in front of me, i sms-ed her this :
"Godma, the way of life is that there is always life and death. One day you celebrate the birth of a newborn child. and some other day, u part with someone else. what you need to understand is where he lives on that matters. it's in you. it's in your heart n mind. he has neva left you at all. pain is temporary but memories are everlasting. i'm sure he doesnt want to see you in this state."
she will need time to actually accept it totally i guess.. hope she will take care of herself.
2) yet again, i'm disappointed at work. someone is ord-ing. okie. it's normal for nsfs to have this ord mood b4 they ord, of course. the thing is, i also hope i can ord. but it's still 300 days away. 10 months. then this guy at work will juz hog the com. yes he does know his job well. yes he's working. but along with that, he gave some fucked up attitude. here i am trying to get work done. trying to solve some serious shit so tat i wont get any punishments for all the shit they've stored up. but but but... haiz.. really sometimes thou u wan to get things done, u juz lose all motivation, all hopes, all the positive attitudes.
3) cant wait for this wkend to come.. sounds familiar eh? i say tat all the time. i wan to go out n sip a cuppa coffee. did tat last wk with a frd of mine. we knew each other for quite a while n sometimes i tink he's the only one who can stand at the amount of shit i'm churning out n throwing at him (please read with discretion. coz i dun mean the literal form of shit). haha. would like to do tat with some other frds. really enjoyable feeling. juz sit ard n talk. it was a sunday afternoon in CBD. there was absolutely no one. somemore the coffee club outlet we were at, thou it was aircon-ed, u cant really feel the coldness of it. instead u feel cool coz they haf fans revolving above. nice feeling.
3 ways of starting this entry. but it all seems like juz 3 different issues of this entry. wat m i talking? i haf no idea. i wan to run away.. ahh... i'm going crazy... ah...
on sat, there's a ntu bash.. 8bucks but i hope i can go with someone. who le? still looking for frds to go. anyway, i'm attending my jc's anniversary dinner. got psycho-ed to attend it n pay $63 for it. okie la. juz go n enjoy it lo. m tinking of going down to topman n get myself a top for the dinner. mite as well. sometimes can also wear it to clubbing ah. quite tired of being in front of the computer now. i quite addicted to clubbing/chilling (i'm only a social drinker n a non smoker. dun tink i'm one of those addicts. juz wanna dance. m listening to some chill out music. making me crave to wan to hang out with my frds n chill to these music. mayb i shall go to the bash. hmmm...

b4 lunch my mum msged to tell me something. she told me tat my godma's father had passed away. okie. he has not been in the best of health. was admitted to the hospital quite some time back. my mum was tinkin tat there mite not b much time left for him. upon receiving that msg from my mum, i juz decided to call my godma. oh dear, she's crying on the other side. i wished i could do more for her. i mean wat she needs more is her immediate family. not me. the next person i called was my mum. i told her my plans of going down to the wake to visit my godma. i had to do tat. she's always very gd to me. very positive to the things i do. when i saw her, she was numb. she din noe how to feel. deep inside her, she's very sad. i can imagine her feeling. she was delirious to the point where she actually asked the same question to me thrice. she kept asking me to sit down when everyone else is standing. the family, being buddhist, had pple coming over the chant. during the chant, she couldnt take it. she started crying. my heart went out to her. i can feel her pain.for her, there's even more history btw her n her parents. even at my age, i tink it will hurt me the same if i'm in her shoes. it also hurts me to see her cry. i put myself in her shoes. the pain of a loss of a loved one. how great is that? at that instance, i cant help myself but wan to cry. (ok PS u can say me emotionAL now) juz reminds me of a feeeling i had when i listened to "Luther Vandross' - Dance With My Father". go listen to this song. lyrics can b found in one of May's entry. when i went over to hug her n comfort her, she told me something : "i have no more father." (goodness i feel like crying now - such a softie) i wanted to scold her. i wanted to remind her that she has a father. it's juz tat he has migrated from being a physical being into a memory in her heart n mind. i really hope she can get out of it soon enuf to get back to life. i really hope she gets beta.
it's a feeling tat i hope no one has to go thru but it's the way of life. i guess when such things happen, the best is to get the support of the rest of the family n frds. mayb i should go down to the wake again tmr.

had a gd talk with my chief clerk... well she did change her attitude towards me.. i has lesser things against her now. BUT i still wan to come back to the place i belong. aint that the msg behind some of the patriot songs that we sing on national day? ha... i do feel beta than yesterday after the talk with her. the main reason being that she did go thru so much more than all of us had. been thru so many phases of army life, as a DXO (civilian working in the army or a uniformed personnel). everything she scolds us, it juz becoz of some stupid mistake we did n she wans us to actually not do tat mistake again.. i'm such a wuss rite? believeing her so easily. i mean we did haf a talk for an hr n half after work ended for that day..
weekend is so near now.. cant wait... but someone i will miss much after this weekend. my brother is going back to melbourne. he really knows how to take care of me. mayb it's me but i really like being taken care by him. haha.. wat r big brothers for? to take care of younger siblings lo... (such a spoilt brat comment!) ... but for half a yr, i wont b able to see him again.. till next chinese new yr. i'm sure going to miss him!
i wanna dance again. had so much fun last sunday. if i could turn back the hands of time (eh doesnt tat line sound familiar? it's the title of R Kelly's song), i would ... eh i would actually turn it back till quite some time back. to do the things i regret not doing now. how i wish i haf that power!

i wan to get out today, but i guess work will end late. n furthermore, there's singapore idol later on. kudos to the loser who is the watermelon man... next time when i see u on the street, do accept my deepest shoutout to u " LOSER". guess i'm not in the right frame of mind. shall remain as that for the whole of today (while at work tat is)!
Tuesday, August 10, 2004

my current work attitude is not to care so much. juz get myself one thing to do n let it occupy myself till the end of the day... any other thing, juz in one ear n out the other. let the other newbie handle everything. well someone has to b the lau jiao (old bird). anyway he has a long time in that department. me will ord in less than 10 month's time. ORD mood will start next jan.. heh
finally got my hair cut. actually i liked it alot. very manageable.. y din i do tat b4 the party? would b so much easier n very comfy. haha... not so much hair now. but my bunkmate, this metrosexual guy, kept laughing at me. he has this thing about my hair. ha. he commented tat my sideburns r shaved too straight. haha. actually i couldnt really b bothered. i liked this hairstyle n i told myself b4 the haircut. dun bother so much about the hair. i dun wan myself to b so bothered about the hair. about the outlook. i wan to b more nonchalant in that sense.
i would want 2 club again this weekend. n hopefully i can get to know some gals along the way... haha. i dun wan to sound desperate over here but sometimes i do feel lonely. esp when i hang out in orchard n see those couples walking ard. y m i single? ha..
current music: F.I.R. - Fly Away (gets me high everytime i hear it. very happy song.)

who actually treats me as a frd?
Friday, August 06, 2004

i still cant stand working there. m trying hard to skive. now i'm at the point where during office hours, i make small notes for myself as i cant tell others my feelings. so i "said" it out by writing... tat place sux!!! they told me tat i should not tell pple from my former unit about things from my workplace (said by my current 165 SQN's s1). screw him!
oops... enuf of my public outburst since this place can b read by anyone... i should regain to my normal self. m so going to enjoy my long wkend (thou cut short by at least half a day). cant wait. cant wait!
Wednesday, August 04, 2004

okie. i went up to bunk n got prepared to get out for movie n dinner. my frds had all eaten so i was the only hungry man ard. all of us had our things to handle b4 the movie started. the movie was "The House of Flying Daggers". wat a lousy movie. or rather it's an art flim. something i could not apprehend while watching it. i actually felt asleep n snored (in order to defend myself, i had to say this: once ur sleeping position blocks the airways, one tend to snore). the way of shooting the movie is something i could not agree with. with all these said, it's up to ur own rick of whether u wan to go n catch that movie.
anohter day at work. still dreading the start of everyday coz i know i haf to go to work at that horrid place! cant stand it further. i still want OUT!
Tuesday, August 03, 2004

but most importantly, i wan out of this place. i hope my former unit's pple r working hard enuf to try n get me back! i hope they r sincere. juz saw my former oc. i told him how much i detest staying in there. some of the pple i work in the current lpace knows how much i wan out! hope there's enuf to get me out. i'm so waiting for my mandatory interview with my current boss. then i shall start telling him how much i wan out. guys, wish me lots of luck!!

i'm still in this camp as this camp houses 2 different units. so tat means i've probably seen most of the pple but becoz we were from different units, hence there's no interaction. now becoz of fate, i'm posted to that unit. i haf to start all over again n noe everyone whom i've ignored as strangers. wat a twist of fate. becoz of the location of camp, staying in is a preferred choice. all along i've grown comfortable staying in my bunk but becoz of me now transfered to the other unit, by right, i would haf to shift. i guess on paper, i will shift but whether will i sleep there, it's another thing.
today went to report to the new workplace for me. woah. i was having culture shock. i was posted to the orderly room of 165 SQN. the chief clerk laid down so many rules tat i felt so overwhelmed by her.. i wanted out immediately. the only tot tat kept me goin is tat i only haf 10 months left. 10 more months. imagine PS Fir, so fast since u took us eh? 10 more months n ur last batch of recruits will ord. time sure flies. i've been in this camp, this unit 163 SQN for more than a yr. many things i've learnt, about the pple, about the history, about my equipment, about the lifestyle. it's going to b difficult to change my mindset totally. when u been thru hell somewhere, with a group of pple u call frds now, it's difficult to get out of it, into another place where bonding will b difficult to forge. no hardship to bring us together. 10 more months (i remind myself again n again)....
