MAY DAY!

Good day mates! And howdy do's! Yesterday was a public holiday and I went out to watch the most anticipated movie of 2007- Spiderman 3! (Most anticipated for me that is) It was a great emotional roller coaster ride. I went to watch with my bro, sis, Lionel and Indra. I really loved it. I thought it was the best spidey movie ever and that it should just stop here at part 3 because it won't be able to be topped. I loved it and my sis loved it as well. Some people like Lionel and Mq and Alex has said it was not good. I don't know why. Maybe they expected more action. But I initially was scared it would not be good storyline wise, with 3 villians crowded in. I was afraid that the emotional aspect that I love spidey for, would be sacrifised for the 3 villians. But the director did a great job in incorporating that emotional aspect along with the 3 villians. I thought the director did well in keeping in line with the spiderman storyline as well as making it as real as possible with lifes situation. Real spidey fans should go catch it. If your like Lionel, Alex, and Mq, then you would be dissapointed I guess. Was great just hanging out with my bro and sis and Lionel. Never really done that. Hope to do it more often.
I woke up this morning, and low and behold, Liverpool won Chelsea on penalties to advance to the finals of the European Champions League! Woohoo! Liverpool won 1-0 courtesy of Daniel Agger, who was spotted by Steven Gerard during a spot kick. Chelsea defenders, who were concentrating on marking Kuyt and Crouch, didn't notice the defender who slotted the ball in the back of the net. Sweet! But because Chelsea won the 1st leg 1-0 as well, it was not enough. And so, Pepe Reina, Liverpools goalkeeper,came to the rescue during the penalty shootout,saving 2 penalties to help Liverpool through to the finals, where they will meet either Man U or AC Milan. To tell the truth, I hope it's AC Milan because I just don't want Man U to have a chance to even smell the trophy. I mean, c'mon! Man U is more or less already going to win the League. And they also have the FA cup to fight for against Chelsea. I think that's enough trophies. Well anyway, we will all know tomorrow which other team is in the final. So till then, I'll leave you with wise words from Ynnib Nai-
“I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.”

Hi! I've just came back from Australia on Tuesday. It was really a great trip! I went to Healsville Animal Santuary, where I petted and fed Kangaroos, went surfing at the beach,(can't stand up on the board though),went along the Great Ocean Road to see the 12 Apostles rock formation, went to the wineries, and also to Crown Casino, apparently the 2nd biggest casino in the world. It was really great. I even met Chris while I was there. I didn't realize he was in Melbourne, but he found out through my blog and he brought me to 'Grilled' for dinner. Thanks for that mate! Really enjoyed it. Cant put up the really nice photos, cos those weren't digitally taken, but I can put up a few ok ones here so enjoy!

Digitally, that's basically what I have of photos. If you want to see some really nice photos of my trip, you've got to meet up with me, cos these photos doesn't do the Australia trip justice! Really had a great time. A special Big Thank You to my cousin, who ensured I enjoyed myself to the fullest over there, planning all the trips. I hope she's reading this eventhough I have like thanked her a million times already for all she's done, including letting me have an awesome accommodation there ;) Well folks, hope to meet up with you guys soon, to hang out and all. TIll then, that's the end of my entry. Cheers mate!

Schoolgirls find 'no C in Ribena'

Remember when we were small, and our mommy's and daddy's would buy us Ribena because it was healthy and apparently held 4 times more vitamin C than oranges? And we would love to take it because it tasted sweet, and we believed it was healthy and the nice blackcurrent with the smiling face on tv made us oh so happy? Well it's true that blackcurrents have 4 times more vitamin C than oranges, but just read this-

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The makers of one of the world's best known fruit cordials were fined by a New Zealand court on Tuesday after two schoolgirls exposed them for misleading consumers over vitamin C levels in their Ribena blackcurrant drink.

High school students Anna Devathasan and Jenny Suo in 2004 tested the drink against advertising claims that "the blackcurrants in Ribena have four times the vitamin C of oranges."
Instead, the pair found the syrup-based drink made by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) contained almost no trace of vitamin C, and one commercial orange juice brand contained almost four times more.

GSK had paid little attention to the claims of Devathasan and Suo until their complaints reached the New Zealand's consumer watchdog Commerce Commission.
But appearing in an Auckland court on 15 charges of breaching the New Zealand's Fair Trading Act, GSK pleaded guilty and admitted its ads may have left consumers with a wrong impression of the health benefits of Ribena.

The judge fined the company a total NZ$227,500 ($163,700) for misleading advertising.
The Commerce Commission said GSK's behavior was a "massive" breach of trust with the New Zealand public.

"As a multinational company specializing in pharmaceuticals and health products, they should have had robust testing and quality assurance systems in place to ensure its product was delivering what it promised," Commission chair Paula Rebstock said in a statement.
GSK told the court it had not deliberately set out to mislead consumers, and the fault lay with its testing methods.

"The fact that some of our products had incorrect labeling is to us, unacceptable, and we sincerely regret any confusion caused to customers who feel they may have been misled," GSK said in a statement.

The court also ordered the company to place advertisements in major metropolitan New Zealand newspapers to correct its mistakes.

"We're just blown away that anything we could have started as a consumer could have blown up into something so huge," Devathasan told Radio New Zealand.

Ribena, first made in the 1930s and distributed to British children during World War Two, is now sold in 22 countries.

Take that lovers of that sick drink! Lol! I did not make this story up and it's in todays 'Straits Times' and todays 'Today' for those who would want to read more. According to those newspapers, Singapore is testing the drink right now and I guess we'll be hearing about it on 'News 5 tonight' soon. And you wonder why you got sick so often even after drinking loads of Ribena.

Australia

"IF ONE SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMER DROWNS, DO THE REST DROWN TOO?"

Hi to all! I'm very excited today because next friday, 30th of March, I'll be going to Australia! I'll be going to Melbourne. I can't wait because-

1. It is my first time travelling to anywhere outside of South-East Asia
2. It is my first time travelling on a plane (so freaking awesome!)
3. It is my first time going to Australia (which actually goes back to point number 1)

I'll be going there for holiday, and to visit my cousin. Shouldn't be worse than my Batam trip. You guys heard about that one? Well if you haven't, you shouldn't. Wasn't a very good trip. Only thing noteworthy of that trip was the nice 2 hr aromatheraphy massage I got for just $24. Other than that, two days one night there and I did nothing but watch tv in the hotel while my friends 'enjoyed themselves'. Supposed to go to the beach according to my friends plan, but in the end, didn't even get to look at it. Was a very wasted trip. Wel, at least now I get to go to Melbourne and experience what Australia is all about. So my friends, I wish you guys Au Revoir, and I'll definitly blog about the trip when I get back on April 10, if it is a good trip. Haha... Well, I expect it to be a good trip, and till then, always look on the bright side guys. You heard me Jas? You're last blog entry was a very stressfull one. Hope you're doing ok. Thats what the wise Ynnib Nai told me. I leave you with this example he gave me-

"ONE NICE THING ABOUT EGOTISTS: THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE."

ORD! (Continued)

Unforgetable! LOL!



My '62nd Close Combat Instructors' Army mates. Happy ORD to us!

ORD!!!

ORD is so close I can smell it. There's a sweet smell about it. I've got the countdown timer on the bottom left panel of the screen. It's like new years countdown but better. To all my 62nd batch mates in army, A Happy ORD to Us in advance. Cheers!

Happy Valentines/Chinese New Year!

First off, I want to wish everyone who for some strange reason or the other, decided to read my blog, a very Happy Chinese New Year! I'm finding it really hard to blog nowadays. Not that I have blogged regularly in the past. Its just that last time the computer was in my parents room. Now its still in my parents room, but its tilted in such a way that anyone who decides to even step into the room, can clearly see what I'm typing on the computer. And I hate writing with someone peering over my shoulder. Ya, I know if they just go to the site, they can already read everything I'm typing. Its just uncomfortable, and distracting. As I'm typing now, my hand is getting ready to scroll down so no one can read what I'm typing. Well the Chinese New Year is special to me this time round, cause it marks the beginning of the end for certain things. For example- the beginning of the end of Army life. That's just one example. Just need to clear my medical, and get my pink IC. Can you feel the love people? Valentines Day just went by. How was yours? Good or no good? I guess what's more important is if the whole year was good or no good. I just shifted house to Cashew Heights condo at Cashew Rd for those who still think I live at Bishan. It's just temporary till my parents find a place to call our own. My uncle, who recently got a bigger apartment, let us take his old one till we find a place. I have one more addition to my family. My Grandma. So now, I need to share a room with my bro and my sis this time in a room smaller than my room I had in the Bishan flat. It's small, and clothes are everywhere. My underwear each time I give to wash, seems to do a vanishing act on me and disappear. I still got a lot to spare, but the hunt for the missing underwear continues. First thing after my army that I'm going to do is to get ready for a good old holiday trip to bintan or batam on 15 to 16 March. Can't wait. Something other than Malaysia. I have options on what I seriously can do after army. You know what. I have not picked which path to go yet. So many paths. So many options. None of them are standing out for me. None are calling to me. People are asking me. I will make a decision after the trip. Will take things one step at a time. Need to do some research. Research the options, and research myself. The new priest at Saint Josephs Bukit Timah gave a sermon,and everyone thought it was good. To me, the best part of the sermon was when he emphasized on loving our enemies and 'turning the other cheek'. But, how many will actually follow what he emphasized? I think most will only remember the funny part about the Chinese New Year greetings. Hear the good and easy part, throw out the rest. What's the point of having a good priest? Hope is fading. Well, I will need to consult Ynnib Nai on my future. So I gotta go. And he leaves you with this wise saying to think about-
DON'T SWEAT THE PETTY THINGS AND DON'T PET THE SWEATY THINGS.

Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!!!

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! That photo was taken during my christmas party at my house. Those are my poly friends Wayne and Jasmine, and we took this photo outside of the house. I'm really looking forward to the New Year. I believe I've spent 2006 well in terms of learning new things in the army, from my Close Combat instructor duties, and geting closer and spending more time with certain poly friends. Towards the end of 2006, Indra seems to be disappearing, but with that came the emergence of Sandy, which begged me to ask myself, 'Why didnt I ask her along before?' Everyone, including myself, took it for granted that if asked out, Sandy would not be bothered. But when I just decided to try, she said 'yes' straightaway without even a hesitation. So that was cool. Of course, Wayne is always reliable when it comes to outings. Then there's Jasmine. I'm not sure what to say about Jasmine. It's all good of course. I just do not see a bad thing about her. Fun, cool, patient(she really is), kind, caring, understanding, etc, the list goes on. Some people have told me about certain things happening in their lives. Or even troubling them. When people open out to me, I feel lucky I have a friend who does not feel afraid and trust me enough to tell me their personal stuff. That they feel I'll understand. I really appreciate that they feel all that. Of course, I'll try to help out if I can. But sometimes I know they just want someone to listen. So it turns out that I've actually gotten a lot closer to certain friends in 2006. Now in 2007, I'm looking forward to that year even more! Why?! Because I'm going to ORD! Get my pink IC! Am going to be a senior instructor in the army for my remaining weeks there that means. All new adventures! I'll be moving out of my house at the end of January to Cashew Heights Condo at Cashew Road. Somewhere at Bukit Timah. Far! Anyone want to help me move? Haha! Transport wise it's gonna suck! It will just be temporary till my parents find a new place. Our house is sold, so we got to go. My uncle is letting us use his condo appartment for awhile. He just moved out of there. At least can use the pool and gym facilities there. And can use air-con when its hot. For those who have never been to my place in Bishan, just to let you knw, whole house- no air-con. Its was good in December cause it was cold so no problem. Some nights were so cold I didnt even have to use the fan. Talk about saving electricity. Hope to have more outings before I ORD *Hint!*. 2 people have just found out who the wise Ynnib Nai is. For those who have not yet, don't worry, I'll still leave his words of wisdom at the end of my post Hehe... So ready or not, here comes 2007! and Ynnib Nai-
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

Birthdays! 22!

And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men. With the Jawbone of an Ass --Judges 15:15,16

Cool quote huh. This quote I found actually exists in the Bible. I found it amusing and inspiring at the same time. Wierd huh. Well I have not been bloggin a lot. I think you guys can like pretend this blog never existed at the rate I post. So this could very well be my last post. I dont know. We'll see. But dont expect another post anytime soon after this. I'm sure you guys already dont. Well, anyway, I just turned 22 yesterday. 21 is when you're just turning into an adult. 22 is when its all confirmed. And like the number, I had a double celebration on that day. Had a lunch celebration with my family and GodParents. Then went to my GodParents place with my family and had another celebration there for dinner. Had the Birthday song sang twice as well. Cool huh? That, together with my moms Birthday celebrations the day before and my uncles the day before that, and well, my stomach is ready to make me a suicide bomber. From Dec 1st already, the December celebrations as i call it start. My uncles birthday is 1st, literally, then my moms straight after that, then mine, then theres a short break before my cousins birthday comes, then my bro's on the 21st, then the celebrations of Jesus Christ's birth, then another cousins Birthday on the 27th, then all the birthdays are done for that month. Of course, there's the New Years and Hari Raya celebrations thrown in and well, its like a fiesta at my place! The party doesnt really stop this time of year. Plus, dont forget, got Christmas visitin to do as well. Wah! Party till my hair drops! And I have a lot of hair people. Now thats scary! Well anyway, I'll stop here. I'll go now with some words of wisdom from Ynnib Nai-
We are all born naked and screaming and if you're
lucky that sort of thing won't stop there.

AHM

A Committee is a group of people who individually can do nothing, but as a group decide that nothing can be done.

Today I ran in the Army Half Marathon cause my unit was supposed to. Started slow at first, but when it started to rain, the motivation to run and get to shelter was immense. I actually sprinted for quite a bit. Azri ran with me. He actually ran with me. Thought he would be trying to convince me to walk, but he actually ran. I think he has become fitter due to his hockey training. We made sure safety came 1st and decided to stop at every water point to "properly" hydrate ourselves. The milo was good. So good that some people decided to take the whole carton of milo. My, did they enjoy their milo. And for our efforts? Tomorrow we get the whole day off! Woohoo! Finally I get to have a days rest. Had a busy and tiring weekend. Yesterday I went to Ben Koh's Birthday/Farewell Dinner. Went earlier to play soccer. I was quite satisfied with my performance. Made a few good passes, and even scored a goal. Need to improve my snap shots though and my 1st touch movement, but good luck with myself in training for that. No soccer ball and no idea what to do to improve those things.
As for my training, last Saturday I went to MacRitchie Reservoir to run. Ran the 5+km route. Wasn't used to it and the many slopes going up. Heard my timing was around 29min, but I wasn't really running all out so hopefully next time (if there is a next time), I'll be able to cut down that timing by quite a bit. Was trying to catch up with Adrian. Then the day after, Sunday, me, Gerard, Lionel, Alfred and Michael went to play soccer. I think I played ok but didn't score. Lionel, our star left back, tore his ligament and will be out for a few months. Man, that really sucks. Shows how dangerous soccer can be. Wednesday, I went running at the Kelong near my house. That is about 3+km. After running the MacRitchie route, I felt that the run wasn't much of a challenge. Plus no up slope to deal with. Just one flat straight route. Well, that plus the soccer I played yesterday, and the run today, sums up my training for this week. So that's all folks. And the wise Ynnib Nai has something important to say-
A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist.

2006 Community Shield Winners- Liverpool

Elo! Its been a long time since I blogged huh. Well, after some time, you just get lazy to update. Like lazy for more than a month. Whats been happening since then? Well, I'll just randomly pick significant events that happened. First off, Liverpool won! Woohoo! I must say, although I'm a liverpool fan, I had my doubts. With Chelsea having a line up that boasts of European stars, I must say, it was hard at times to imagine liverpool winning. Don't get me wrong. Liverpool has beaten Chelsea at cup events before. But with new signings Ballack and Shev, it was hard to imagine any team at all right now who can beat them. Plus when I heard that Benitez had rested players like Gerard and Alonso at the start, I almost jumped off from my room window. I know the Community Shield isn't a very big trophy, but still, knowing that Liverpool had drawn first blood was just so sweet! And that alien of a Crouch actually scored the winner some more. Wow! Chelsea fans, suck my butt! Lol! Well next big event was Aisyahs' Wedding Lunch. She was my classmate from SP. Same age as me for those who want to know. Went together with other classmates Jasmine and Sandy. Just so happens that the guys from my class, Indra and Wayne, both could not make it. So I was like the only guy there. But it was still fun. The lunch was fantastic! I must say, 1st class food! Whoever made the food should open an outlet. The girls just gorged themselves silly. Don't want to scare people with details of how much Sandy ate. After that lunch, still went Swensons for more dessert. So full I didnt have dinner. Then accompanied Jasmine to Jurong library where along the way, there was a gang fight at the taxi stand. Not the 1st time I've seen a fight, but I could see Jasmine was worried. Was her 1st time seeing such things according to her. Sandy was the calmest. Walked to the taxi stand to take a taxi just seconds after the fight was supposedly 'finished'. Latest movie I've watched is 'Lady in the Water'. I tought it was a good show cause it was a totally original idea. Just that I would have preferred it if some characters were used more. I liked it but another friend of mine hated it. Actually said 'Superman' was better. I don't know ah. Anyway, a good friend finally ORD'ed. Geoffrey. Really helped us all and we shall never forget it. Farewell, and hope you enjoy this time and I wish you all the best. Started exercising again. Starting slow this month. Been going Bishan Park last week and this week Wednesday, the army is sending me over to the 'Tekong Challenge'. So far. Couldn't they have sent us somewhere nearer like Pulau Besar? Swines! Anyway, will be giving you weekly updates on my training so my next post will be some time next week. I'm a lazy guy so hope you guys could encourage me as I try to get ready for my IPPT test which will hopefully be in November. Well, thats all folks! And here are 'Words-of-Wisdom' from Ynnib Nai-
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2006 World Cup Champions- Italy!

Finally! Italy are Champions of the World! They very much deserved it although they did not play so well attacking wise after the 1st half ended. But they kept to their game and after zizou's booboo, Everyone kind of had that feeling that it was going to go towards Italy's way. You should have seen Zidane. Like that dinosaur with the hard crust for a skull, he lounged forward and headed Marco Materazzi in the chest instead of the ball! It would have been funnier if he had gone on all fours and charged towards his balls! Then at least he can say he made a mistake. But it was no laughing matter for the french. They just seemed lost after that. I wish that someone would have finished the other off in regular time as I had to go to Bedok camp at 8am for lesson. So there went my sleep. Taught lesson like a zombie. Reuben who also watched the match but lives nearer to camp seemed even worse for some strange reason. Like in a trance he walked right in front of me without noticing me. I was half expecting him to suddenly see me, then jump for my neck! Well, just like that the World Cup is over, and we just have to wait for another 4 friggin years for the next one. Talk about having patience. Well, went out with Indra to watch Superman Returns yesterday. Heard a lot of people did not like it, but I tought it was ok. Don't know what everyone expected from that movie. My only problem with it is that it did not have any Super Villian. I mean c'mon! Lex Luthor is getting boring. Seen enough of him in smallville already. For those who want to watch the movie, you might not want to read on as there are spoilers. Guess what kiddies?! Apparently good ol supes had pre-marital sex! Seems like he could not control his super charged *ahem* hormones.... Lol! Haha! Got to watch it to believe it! Bryan Singer you devil you! By the way, check out this website here! Some cool illusions that I really liked! Well, I think I'll best be going now and leave you guys with some cool words of wisdom from Ynnib Nai-
Kids in the back seat cause accidents; accidents in the back seat cause kids.

The Omen 060606

Storm to Wolverine: Logan! We work as a team. Wolverine to Storm: Yeah. Good luck with that!

Just loved that line from X3. Haha... X3 was great! Lots of mutants! Lots of action! And Lots of surprises! Including a surprise ending after ALL the credits have gone by. Wah! Lucky I read up that there is a surprise ending. Was begining to doubt if there was one as the credits kept going, the audience were all leaving, and only me, Choon Kiat and 'Billy' Ong as well as some guy sitting next to us(probably overheard) were the only ones left in the cinema. As for 'The Omen', no, I havent watched it. But it's just a big coincidence that on that date, that scary devil movie is coming out, as well as 2 LTCs' from Indonesia, coming over to 3guards to observe the CCT lesson on that day. Wah! They going to observe Alpha company somemore. Talk about pressure. Their discipline still not up to my liking yet somemore. Hope they get their 'game on', on that date. Speaking of surprises and discipline, today Bravo Company was damn good. I myself was shocked. Didnt play, behaved themselves, was very 'garang', very agresive, and gave their best shouting. Maybe I was teaching the wrong company. But cannot be. They must have been on some drug. Maybe I should ask for some. Had some great times with my poly friends some time back eating dinner(Sorry about the Rice Bowl :p) and watching a very scary FA cup final at Chijmes. Liverpool likes to give their fans an exciting and LITERALY heart stopping game. Lost count how many times my heart stopped that day. Was shocked that Jas was actually interested in it. So Cool! Well, I'll finish off here. Leave you with some words of wisdom from Ynnib Nai- A day without sunshine is like, night.

FLEMP Day!

What helluva day is that? Well, I wanted the heading to be a day with all the important days that is near this date all roled into one. Get it? No? Scratching your head? Now scratching your bum? Well scratch no more! This is what I meant- Its Free meals-Labour-Election-Movie-Progress Day! They are all connected as well. Yeah! Well a few days ago, we all got our progress package. And being the very cautious and carefull (aka 'kiasu') citizens that we are, we straight away did our government proud by quickly drawing out our progress package money and squandering it! Yeah! Me, I havent splurged yet, but I used some of it to watch a movie at 'The Cathy'. 'The Cathy' is a cool place. I went to Cinema 1 which is also known as 'The Grand'. Was ushered to my seat by a cute gal which was nice and the leg room there is fantastic. Lol! It had a big ass screen with big red curtains. It was really a grand experience. But no shops are opened at that 6 storey or so complex. Just the cinema and the smell of construction glue and paint is opened. Watched 'The Wild'. Its an ok show. A really bad ass show is hostel. The most goriest movie I have ever seen. Easily 3 times worse than 'The Saw' and 'Kill Bill' combined! Indra of course enjoyed it. Its by Quentin Tarantino by the way and its R21. So kiddies, sorry but you cannot watch. Saw Janice there at the end of that movie. Nice to catch up with poly friends of course. Always a pleasure. Well, elections is comin up. My area is a walkover as usual which is great. Can't be bothered with politicians. Indra has to vote. He says he's gona vote for PAP. I wanted to know why. Thought he had an intelligent answer. Don't know why I thought that. I thought wrong of course. He's voting for them cause they gave him the progress money. WOW! "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" he said. Nice. Considering they are feeding us back our money that we gave them through taxes. Yes. Votes can be bought. If I had to vote, I think I'll just spoil my vote. The opposition needs someone strong and noticeable, with a plan to win votes and outsmart the PAP. The PAP can have my thumb up my own ass with their "We can't have freedom of speech" crap. Can't podcast and write things regarding the election on the internet. What the...? Can't we trust our own people to make good judgements on weather a report is telling lies or not and trust them to investigate reports and make a good choice? Are we that bad that, that can't be done? Well, that aside, Labour day is tommorrow. Happy Holiday people of Singapore! I realised that all my posts are done about once every 2 months except this post which is slightly earlier. So using tommorrow to rest and the progress money, my moms' office colleaque gave my family a lunch treat 'jus for the fun of it'. Wow! My mom sure knows how to make friends. And later, my Aunt wants to treat us for dinner. All these treats all in one day! Wow! Since Easter just went by, check this out- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5427138374898988918&q=Easter+Bunny&pl=true. Well, I think this is the longest post from me ever! So I'll stop here. Don't worry (Or maybe you should!). I'll still provide you with your dose of wise sayings from Ynnib Nai-
A President of a democracy is a man who is always ready, willing, and able to lay down your life for his country.

It's March!

You can learn more about the above pic, the coming general elections and 'the fight' between the PAP and the opposition at talkingcock.com. The one place where the news can be trusted. hehe... Anyway, back to our regular scheduled program- I just realised I have a lot of friends who are born in March. Just last Saturday, I had lots of offers to go out. 2 Bithday requests and another 2 to just go out and hang out. Then I realised that this coming Saturday I will be out celebrating my poly friends birthday alongside another poly classmate. The following week is my church friends birthday. All that plus those born in february and I'm trying to not blow my money out of the bank. You know, I'm sure humans have a mating season like animals. Cos like it gets pretty quiet for awhile, and then all of a sudden, like as if it hunting season, holy smokes, the birthday people are shooting you with birthday cards the moment the months of December and March come up. Bang! You know, last Saturday was funny cos it got me thinking, "Now, I got a lot of offers to go out. But when the time comes when I really want to go out, all of a sudden, everyone will disappear." Just like a scene from a show with a cross between The Twilight Zone and Just for Laughs. But doesn't that happen? One moment your swamped with requests to go out, then all of a sudden, u can actually hear crickets chirping and ants eating.
HAHA! That's life. Anyway, Ive been told I'm getting soft when I teach. I blame it on 3 SIR. Actually, 3 SIR men have shown me a new way to teach. It is one that is un-army like, so yeah, naturally people look back and say, "What the heelll you doing?" But aiya, it was supposed to be a relaxed day, so enuf said! I'm going to leave you with the wise and impressionable words of Ynnib Nai- Laugh Alone..... And the World thinks you're an Idiot!

Happy Chinese New Year!

To Tyler: Jesus loves you....... but everyone else thinks you're an asshole!

Wow! Everyone has been bugging me to update my blog. Is it really that popular? Cool! If it's that great, maybe I can soon get people to advertise on it and I can earn some money from that. Even cooler! Well anyway, enough of talking rubbish(Like that's going to happen). On to not-so-cool stories on my life. Well folks, after failing my IPPT by 7sec in my 2.4km run, and staying in as a result for about 7 weeks, I've finally passed and I'm free! Woohoo! Staying in actually wasn't so bad. It's just the nagging from a certain someone every 10pm at night that I couldn't stand. So as I ran my 2.4 again, he, and certain gay others were on my mind as I rushed toward the finish line during my 2.4km run. That mind game actually worked as this time I ran towards the finish line like a dog with rabbies (hope I spelt it right) and got there with 10 seconds away from achieving the silver standard. Well, now that's over, I can go back to my slack ways. Haha! But nah, tomorrow, sunday, I'll be going to East Coast to run with my poly friend Indra. Today was a quiet day. Felt lazy, so decided to stay home. I still haven't bought my sneakers. Im supposed to buy my new shoes for the English New Year. Now it's Chinese New Year and I still haven't bought it. Need someone with good taste like, I can't believe I'm going to say this, Lionel or a girl to help me choose like My cousin Rachel or Jamaliah. Well I think I'll end here. Leave you with some wise fortune cookie sayings for the Chinese New Year- Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

7sec = 2 Weeks

Yup! That's the new math equation I found out when I failed my IPPT 2.4km run by 7 seconds. Pathetic. Because of that, now I have to stay in SPT, or as it is now called, Army Fitness Centre(AFC), for 2 weeks of running and training. Well, the bright side is that I'm going to save a helluva lot on transportaion and meals. With Christmas coming up, that can only be good. And I can now get back into tip top shape. With my off days and duty staff duties to perform, it's not so bad. All my five static stations were of silver standard. Made some improvements as well on 2 stations. I was so scared of my static stations, that I concentrated my training on those stations only. I trained so well, that for the 1st time, when I jumped for my standing broad jump station, I got silver standard on the 1st try. For some reason, my shuttle run also improved. Got 9.8 seconds. I've never hit below 10 seconds for my shuttle run before. But the 1 station that I thought I will at least do ok in, I in the end failed it by 7 seconds. Well, this is my chance to make things right again at least. Maybe I failed because I ate too much during my birthday. :P Well, speaking of my birthday celebrations, I must say it was a hit. Surprisingly there was a band there to play on my birthday. And everything there really looked grand. Everyone who came made the celebrations even grander. I would like to thank everyone for making my 21st birthday so special. It was great! Well, that's all I have today. And Ynnib Nai is back with his ever wonderfull words of wisdom -
Nothing is fool-proof to a talented fool. =)

My 21st!!!

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Its my 21st Birthday today folks and I feel on a high! My uncle's birthday was on the 1st, my mom's was on the 2nd which was yesterday, and mine? Its Today!!! Wooohoooo!!! Feels good for some strange reason. Haha! Later I'll be having me party at Trader's Hotel at 7pm at Cafebiz@The Piazza. Paying $40 per head, so please don't drop by uninvited unless you don't mind paying yourself, hehe... Those uninvited, sorry, but I could only bring along a few people and deciding who were the few was mind shattering! Like to thank my parents for organising such an expensive party. Don't know how many people you had to rob, cheat and steal from to organise this so thank you and thank you for loving me all these years. Like to thank family members and friends, especially Indra. He of all people, is the only friend wanting to continue keeping in touch with me by organising outings with me at such a regular basis, besides my church friends of course. Went out to watch 'Doom' which was quite an ok show. I give it a 7/10. That among other movies as well. It's pretty cool. Thanks bro! Well quite a few people will be there. Family, relatives, loved ones, friends, Nearly 50 people altogether. Expensive sia. By the way, did you guys know there are no malay commandoes? Found that out just recently. And that no malays are allowed to enter Hendon camp? I heard about it from a friend. Strange. If it's true, no wonder that there are people who don't trust malays. If the government doesn't trust them to be in certain 'high' positions in the army, it's no surprise that there are people in Singapore who dont trust malays. Well anyway, I see I have sidetracked. I'll end my post here. Ynnib Nai can't leave you with his usual wise sayings today as he too is out celebrating and partying today. Sorry guys. But he'll return in the next post I can assure you that, with more "how the hell did he know that" sayings. So till next time, Enjoy! =D
