All the best to you Huay Shan! Next time i fall sick, i'll go to your clinic! hehheh. Come back often, more class gatherings!! Holland V is a lively place even at 2am. Swensons still had customers! So cool! And that's where my grandparents live somemore. I wonder if they heard all the racket we made at the playground at their block.



A weekend well spent.


Suddenly I have the urge to be a pilot all over again.
Maybe i ought to be a vet with a PPL, so i can fly from place to place to do my research. Hmm..

Elaine's birthday party at SAF holiday resorts. Quite impressed i must say that she took the opportunity to share her faith with her friends there and then. Most people would prob just go have fun and party. Haha. Happy belated birthday Elaine.

Cabbed down to Lix's birthday party after that.. Good to see everyone again, as always. Sad to see that A lvls has kinda sapped alot of energy from them though. Or issit something else. I don't know. It feels different definitely. I wonder if I was like that in year 2.

Only wish there were more days in the weekends, time to spend with friends. Time to waste with the people I love. I guess while we're on earth, we can only dream of such a heaven.

6 years in Perth.
Can i handle that??
Guess i could.. if i wanted to.

What's my passion?
Animals make me happy.
Friends make me happy..
Rollercoasters make me happy..
*chicken essence just appeared on tv*
Holidays make me happy..
Boat rides make me happy..

I guess i could take a ferry to some holiday destination and ride a rollercoaster with a friendly animal..

wth..



Not being racist here but dating blondes with freckles who probably dun get much of the lame shit i'm known to come up with isn't a very appealing idea to me at the moment.. I ain't that charming man..6 years.. gosh. Not like i'm doing very well back here at home. I'd be 27/28 by the time i'm back home? Dad got married at 28!! WTH??

Ah. unfounded worries perhaps? but nonetheless. One can't help worrying.


I had a sweet dream last night. If only it was real. Then again, that'd be just imposing my wishful thinking on you.. heh heh. WDV. Fred, you're full of shit. :p

This has been a rather crazy week.

Most of the guys are gone. Left chiong sua, T-rex, fish ball and me. Hardly go to the mess, T-rex is still trying hard to complete metal slug.. I'm falling in love with Nora Roberts.. (hahaha) I'm only half way through the book though. The story's just begining. But practical lessons are picking up a furious pace.

Tiring.
Flu bug spreading around AFS.
Practical assesment.
Course grad gift.
Course T-shirt.
BBQ.
Birthday parties.



Went out with Dua bao, ben, and shawn impromptu on wed nights-out. Was great catching up after years!! reliving the old times, just the four of us, pizza and stories. Shawn's wins hands down. I hardly have a story to tell.. though ben kicked me real hard under the table. Hope the next outing isn't too far away. It shouldn't be, i still have shawn's polo T which was meant for Ben. Dots...

84th Basic AOS Course

Got gassed by CS (tear) gas on wed. Would say the experience was quite unique, exciting even, such that in the unlikely event that our homeland is attacked by bio-chemical agents, we'd be able to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

Jokingly asked Wing Co if we could get brevets for our uniform and he gave me his spare since i asked. Felt so embarassed but definetely honoured. Will keep it some place safe as a reminder to do a good job in Changi FSS.

So the 5 weeks have passed and my buddies are gonna be posted out soon. Will definetely miss them, Alfred and his hilarious antics, save for his kung-fu lightning jabs. All will be quiet with you guys gone. Who's gonna play metal slug now? heh. Or tease cockster during morning parades. Ah well.

Steamboat with young YAYAs at bugis.

So shy! muahahaha!

ah..

Hehe.

Where'd you go?

Stay at raffles hotel was a good rest for me. Sry rr and dino that we didn't get to see the promised fireworks. But we had fun i hope. although we didn't do much. heh heh. I felt resonably happier the next morning, reasonably refreshed after rolling around on 3 huge beds joined together, after whacking my bro and dad with the pillows repeatedly. Die la, i need such luxiouries to keep me happy. I'm so gonna stay an unhappy man. heh heh.

I was about to give up today. Pastor joined our sunday school. She said just the words i needed to hear. And they were sufficient.

3 men sat at the edge of a cliff one day discussing their pathetic lives. A fairy appeared and decided to grant each of them a wish. They were to shout out their wish clearly and leap off the edge for it to come true. And so the first man got up and shouted "Happiness" and leapt off the edge. He landed safely at the bottom considerably happier. The second man jumped off the cliff and shouted "friends!" and he landed admidst the company of his closest friends to be.
The third got onto the edge all excited and ready to get his wish. But in his excitement he slipped and yelled "SHIT"


Don't we sometimes find ourselves like the third man? Life's full of shit and we don't even know what we did to deserve it.


Perhaps i'm just being paranoid but ever since i've entered the army, i sense a change in the dynamics of the relationships in my family. Ben keeps to himself and the computer so much and can't seem to talk politely. Dad and mum don't communicate any better. One would think informing one parent of one's intentions would suffice but no... there's a permanent break down in communications! I get so fed up that i come home to this mess after 5 days being away from home, expecting some warmth and cosyness in this place i call home but based on a hope which didn't materialise.


Insomnia is taking it's toll on me, i get irritated so easily nowadays, and the next minute i can be "rolling on the floor laughing" like i just breathed in laughing gas. I hate this arrogant streak of mine too. So many a times, i don't mean to be harsh in my speech but my lips move to fast for their own good. I ought to learn to swallow my words.




In other not so important, purely informative news, the SAF medical review board is gonna upgrade my pes status to B. For all who don't understand, it's all right. not important. But for those who do and are laughing (or crying for me) right now.. well.. let's just say i still have lots to be thankful for. Cos i already finished BMT and my vocation training, so it'sunlikely that they'll make me re-course.



Life isn't a struggle, it's a wiggle. huh?
