Juz back from the skin center...and i MISSED the OSCARS...sian... I only managed to catch a glimpse of it...at the skin center and hearing it on my discman.(tv mobile frequency).
Beyonce actually sang the "learn to be lonely"... but too bad that song didn't win the best song...the motorcycle diaries' spanish song got it.
Hmmm million dollar baby and aviator won so much awards and i have never watched the both of them. Weird..:P
My doc prescibed me something strong for me to take. 6 pills at one go, per day after food and also another 2 pills. The 6 pills apparently might cause some gastric discomfort, while the 2 pills are taken to protect the stomach lining....
HAte to take so much medication, but at least they dun induce drowsiness...
So here i am , back home...with no plans but to finish a novel i have juz borrowed from orchard library called ODD THOMAS by DEAN KOONTZ. Tired too coz i have to wake up to rush for that medical appt with Dr Loh.
After the appt i went to raffles city food court to take my lunch. I saw a few middle-aged ppl trying to communicate in sign languages.
WHen u see these people, how do u usually react? Sometimes when i see them so happily engaged in their conversation i cannot help but to realise that i should feel contented and fortunate. They can be so happy even when they can't communicate like all of us. :)

Today noon time went to partyworld Ktv with angel. Yes juz she and i alone. Nothing wrong with it actually. At least she is used to my singing....haha, yes.
Anyway she got this 4 hours free thingy so why not?
4 hours seem so much for my throat to bear, esp in a air-conditioned room which can be quite strenuous on the vocal chords. We sang all kinds of songs, duets, exchange singing roles in duets, yes all kinds of combinations and permutations.
When it comes to Sammi Cheng's mei fei se wu we decided to be on the ball a bit and started standing on the sofa and dance and sing. Are we crazy? May be, but we enjoy ourselves to the core. As usual i always pick my sentimental songs, some old ones, some of which are old tv drama series' songs. At the end of it, we started to put ourselves to one question: are we daring enough to sing at the main hall? i dun mind actually....
Of coz my best are always with Coco lee, xin xiao qi , liang jing ru and zhang hui mei's songs...all-time favourites.
6pm: we left there and went to orchard library to juz look for some novels to kill my time.
It's had been quite an exhilirating day since it'd been some time since i last went ktv. Fun;exuberant!

Today i woke up to drizzles outside my house. I was elated, coz the Lord finally granted rain.!
May be i am juz crazy, but this is the first time i am so happy to see rain and furthermore i am inside my room, sheltered away...
Mum is preparing dishes coz later her majong buddies are coming later for one of their long enduring battles with the tiles, if you know what i mean.
Anyway tonight i will be going for Weini's birthday party in changi, meeting angelina and all at the mrt in pasir ris first. That's all for the plan for today as of yet.
Today is one of those days when everybody is around, of coz except for my brother who is always ever-busy.

Run out of plans for today. Supposed to read thru my C maths notes but i am too lazy to do so. Feel like going down to orchard library today. Probably can find some good books to read.A pious muslim fren of mine juz finished reading the angels and demons. Glad he liked it, though that novel by Dan Brown is not wholly christian in nature(more of catholic) but glad he can derive enjoyment from that kind of setting.THis fren of mine always wears a long black track pants; apparently he can't wear shorts to expose to lower part of his body. Even when it comes to swimming during the lessons, he will wear tights. Perhaps most of you all wouldn't even know there are such muslims huh?Every day of a certain period of time, i will open my bunk to see this fren of mine praying on his rug. Strong sense of dedication huh? If only he can hear about jesus christ.He once told me something interesting. There is no such thing racial harmony in singapore, it's juz a euphemism for racial tolerance. After explaining to me his views, i find it quite a verisimilitude to our status quo now.Yesterday had a nightmare, woke up in the middle of the night to feel the pain on my hands. I scratched myself again, despite the plasters pasting on my hands. SIAN!.I woke up around 1am, with that horrendous realiszation. I juz feel so frustrated!

I am now skating like a fish out of water as u can see from my expression. Seriously the bums i got are nothing....but the feeling of being so vulnerable on the ice is exhilirating...reallly. It'd been year plus since i last skate here. SOme gals over there are real pro with their figure skating and boy am i impressed. They are so QIO too...esp the one in black..hhaha sure Lim teh knows who that gal is. I like the way this pic is taken; with me so still while the background is so blurred. The subject(me of coz) is clearly emphasized. :P

Today i went ice skating the noon with Lim teh. My goodness she look so different in that short hair she donned on her head(as if it's fake hair). Guess donned should not be the word huh.
Anyway everything at the ice-skating rink turn out alright...with a few bums on hands,butt...that's about it. I guess that gal was really better than me in that, i shan't elaborate. While we were at one corner taking some pics, a stranger actually volunteered to help us take a pic! Hmm i begin to believe in kind people now.
As usual we engage in silly conversation here and there, and we were on plans to watch CLOSER starring Julia Roberts, Cliff Owen, Jude Law..etc in tampines GV. We were kinda rush for time and we even smuggled BK meals into the cinema..smart and sly huh? Shrewd i should say.
One word for the movie:SUCKS. I completely lost it. THis had been one of the worst movies i have ever watched so far in 2005. With no derivation of any meaning, conclusion, this movie sucks to the core man. Besides promoting vulgarities, profanities, and sexual lingos, this movie touched so much on promiscuity and seems indifferent to any development of actually plot and interaction between the characters. Of coz being rated as m18, you will expect nudity to some extent and explicit matured themes being depicted in the movie.
THe movie starred great actors and actresses...but the plot simply is nonsensical. Worse than the korean equivalent movie, "everybody have secrets".
Perhaps the only thing that i have come to know from this movie is the reality side of it, and the bold attempt they used to show the real side of our society.
I am still a bit hungry...but i really feel like sleeping. Luring into slumber i still wan to write some stuff.
Anyway Lim teh told me to go on with Life sci. The 5 % increase in fees seems so little in the long run esp when i am using bank loan for the fees. I am so appreciative of Lim teh's introduction to a tuition teachers needed couples. At least i have now a sliver lining of hope after i ord.
Juz went to take a glimpse of the gal that was ousted from the American Idol. She sang a rendition of "the power of love"..and was sung in such a painful and sorrowful tone;pitied her.
THis saturday is Weini's birthday and dunno how long i should stay there leh....hmmm
What should i do tmr? Hmmmm there seems so much things i wan to accomplish for the months to come.

That crazy short-hair hirsute woman haven been replying to all my msgs..Hmmp. Last night barely sleep from my gaurd duty and now i feel so enervated to be back home!
Glad yesterday's duty was as smooth as the sails in the seas... anyway i msg to a couple of frens on the indecisiveness on the course of study in NUS. From Ngee Ann to VJ, seems that Sciences are always my favourite and forte. Whatever that prompt me to give up on science to pursue engineering is something call Pragmatism and Practicality.
I guess everything still boils down to Passion versus Practicality which i know i have been mentioning this for umpteen times.
No doubt the prospects of a course like Life sci might not be as wide as engineering, but somehow i feel that Life sci might juz be a major i need to get that close proximity with nature. Do you think NUS will let me switch to life sci? Hopefully.
Some of you might question me, is my sudden mode of thinking triggered by the latest news about life sci as the top choices of sec sch students going on to polytechnics. This news was further impounded by a fact that the government does make a statement in 2000 that it's going to expand and invest in the life sci industry in the years to come....
That last part of the paragraph that i have juz typed, is something i dun find credible to use as a reason for me to enrol in Life sci. The booming of any industry is unpredictable, yet at times being onset by the power that was bestowed upon our government, sian right?
Yesterday night i think think, while reading my novel.
Talking about novel, i finished a novel called Lethal Harvest by William Cutrer and Sandra Glahn.....somehow coincidently this novel triggers off my interest in Life sci. FANTASTIC novel, a muz-read book.....really captivated my heart, I would say this is a good Christian novel..about science and God at play. The romance part might be a bit too lengthy(no erotic stuff la) but i really like the plot...which bears true testimony to the living existence of the Lord Almighty.
Sometimes we only learn how to treasure life when we are at the brink of it. Sometimes everything around us tells us of the existance of God glaringly yet we still choose to lead astray. Hmmm if only i could translate all these convictions into attending Church, that will be such a blessing isn't it?
Thank you Lord, for speaking to me from such a simple novel, which brilliantly shows the presence of you. Feel much better, no more battling of choices for course of study.

Yes i know i have been online for many hours, but i dun care.
After putting my msn nickname as "hide and seek" has 2 different endings on different cinemas, a deluge of messages from ppl came instantly, some of whom i have seldom chatted with online.
So what exactly happened in the end?
What a controvery to put 2 different scenes and juz throw it to the viewers to comprehend and digest. I believe, from a personal point of view that the 2 different endings are actually one complete ending when they are being pieced together.
HOurs to go and i will have to go back camp, sian.
My brother is down with fever, and he refuse to go see doc until my mum is back from work.(for obvious reasons). TOld him i dun have 10 bucks at hand and he juz propped himself up on the bed, with a wet towel on his forehead, that's it. What goes on in his head, i seriously dunno. Perhaps u might blame me for being apathetic, but he could have juz go see doc since he DEFINITELY had the penuciary means to do so.
Did i mention that my brother got a 2500 worth of scholarship in cash? Boy, my mum was so proud of him that she will always mention that to any relatives during the CNY visits. Not bad huh?
People are always quick to judge "poly" or "jc" 's ways of teaching and what kinds of future they are leading their sons and daughters. Only we children struggling inside this education system can understand wholesomely what is going on.
I opt for the Industrial and System Engineering and i had much difficult in elucidating what exactly this engineering entails to my parents and frens.
The study of things like supply chain management, system design(for cost-saving reasons obviously)..etc...may be i should find out more about this area of expertise....
This hot season is really killing me; one by one, my family members fell into the clutches of the heat syndromes. Painful swallowing, dry coarse throat, fatigues from aches of unknown orgin, and yada yada stuff. Sometimes it's when we are down with some symptoms then are we swift in gulping down "gallons" of water. Sometimes i admit i do that, esp now when my throat is in a super bad condition. I will tend to make myself believe that by drinking lots of water now i will get better at the end of the day. That of coz, is juz a make-believe measure. All of us should always have the habit of drinking plenty of water way before u get sick....
Yesterday night i scratched on my sand fly bites wounds again. I exasperate. I have exhausted all kinds of plans and schemes and all have been foiled by the night scratching.
I know it sounds disgusting but the sand fly things had been assailing not only my hands but my self-esteem. Personal image has always been one of my utmost priority. Having undergone that tramatic sand fly battles, i know that i am scarred for a period of time.
Making an appointment with my doc next monday and let's see what he has got to say about that seemingly stagnant recuperation.

Today is a day i slacked at home. Woke up at 11am, went down to get some food....and become subservient to this blog.
Sometimes hope that i have the courage to step into a Church again. What has made me so scared of entering one?
I know that i should never see the bible as a book of laws and rules to obey, yet churches are always quick to point out what's wrong and what should be done without scanning for the possible situational problems tagging along with it.
A fren juz asked me for a swim/gym and i really feel like lazying around at home. Juz now washed all the dishes, collect all the clothes from outside and sent out new wet one outside. What a humid day!
The music playing behind this blog at least brought some tranquility to what my troubled thoughts.
Like i mentioned before, i hate it when ppl take me for granted as a fren. Sometimes ppl juz asked to buy something for them when u book in, yet they dun pay.... I wouldn't say i am a very penurious person but it's basic courtesy isn't it?

LAst night went back camp, this morning woke up at 0745.
0930: Move out to reclaimed land
1000:recruits being briefed for the digging of the shell scrape and trenches.
1100-1600: recruits digging away
U can see that this is such a boring day. THe blessing was that wasn't much mosquito there(very surprising!) and i feel much relieved. All the Ps(s) were not around coz they had their leave today...(so sly of them to put leave on today).
SOme of my men can really make me so nonplussed....they had no tenacity to finish what they ought to finish within the time frame that we had given them. THey simply had no sense of urgency and I have no "fire" or passion to go "tekan" them too. All i did was to walk around and nag them...correcting them the techniques and the shapes of their shell scrape.
Juz now finally put eventual touches to the walls of my room. WIth that big blue puzzle being hanged, on the left and right hanged my erhus, one on each side. I am quite meticulous not to add too much stuff to the wall or it will make the room look crowded. I prefer a more spacious living area. I once had an idea to convert my cupboard to a "juz some rods" to hang the clothes, but i am simple too indolent to do that. Another idea was to paint my cupboard another colour using wood paint and some varnishes. I have second thoughts on the latter idea.

Woke up morning to go watch "hide and seek" with my good pal Vin. We went to PS GV to watch...and i muz say that Dakota Fanning is such a good child actress. At such a tender age, she can control her expression so well...
As usual this "hide and seek" had quite a disappointing cliche ending. However the way the plot is being developed led me guessing and guessing with no derival of any answers in mind. As usual, i always look forward to a "real" horror plot behind each scenes. I guess i had told enough.... i will leave it to you to enjoy this show.
Robert DEniro had seldom acted in this kind of horror show, with "meet the fockers" as his last work.
My fren juz told me that "hide and seek" got different ending in the neighorhood and town cinemas... He told me of the ending when he watched in Yishun and i told him mine....and we were like so startled and intrigued but this kind of "game".

There had been considerable number of forest fires for the past few days...esp in the "chu kang" areas..dunno yio or chua (haha).
Anyway, always read of the harrowing fires in Australia, oblivious that Singapore barren lands can be so vulnerable to the searing heat from the sun.
A little drop of rain will be so nice now...the weather now is so humid, hot, making me so sticky even in the night.
I got 2 fans in my rooms, and i know some of my frens muz be enjoying in their air-conditioned room.... Anyway, 2 fans are good enough for me though.
The maximum temperature now can reach as high as 33! That is like so unbelievably hot....
So much of the hotness. Now i shall talk about Education Minister mooting the idea of having "Bahasa" as a third language option. That came as a suprise for me, but after hearing from the minister mentor, LKY, i realise that his reasons behind supporting this idea seem so illogical. He was citing examples from the rations supplied to Aceh, that we singaporean soldiers are unable to understand or even converse in elementary Bahasa malay. This could then impede the rate of reconstruction in that calamity-struck areas. Perhaps he is true...but citing that examples doesn't seem to suffice.
I guess learning another new language is always beneficial but why Bahasa there are bound to reason aplenty that i might not understand fully at the moment. I guess it will only affect the generations to come....(as if i am very old).

Juz when i am about to ORD i really dunno why all kinds of ailments seem to assail me all at the same time.
Went for dental FFI(fit for infantry) yesterday and cleared my dental FFI. Never did i realised that after i have done my dental ffi i can't have anymore further dental treatments thereafter from my camp dentist. I should have my wisdom tooth extracted prior to that stupid FFI. Sian...
Actually that wisdom teeth(not tooth) of mine hadn't been giving me much problems juz that i can't bite on too hard a food for my right molars... my camp dentist during the FFI juz made a cursory check on my teeth and reminded me that my wisdom tooth had decayed and i should have it extracted. He further told me that i am the one who is suffering, and i should juz go ahead with the extraction. He did not mention anything about after FFI no more treatment can be made.
ANyway i went to the Polyclinic today (haven realised that i can't go back to my camp dentist). The receptionist told me that i should go to camp dentist since it's free....i called my camp only to realise that i can't have any more free treatments.
And juz coz of that i left the Polyclinic...trying to think of cheaper alternative...
By right Polyclinic is the cheapest option and i should have juz gone ahead with seeing the dentist there. However, they dun provide any surgery....hai...they will only refer me to national denter center....that is like so dumb.
I once see the dentist around my house b4...but that is like superlatively expensive.....at least 200 plus i think....
Can someone tell me what to do?
Actually i still can afford to leave my teeth alone...coz so far the toothaches had subsided...only that i can't bite too hard on the food; juz made do with it lor.

I am not sure of the reason behind the aches and giddyness when i was awaken this morning....feel uncomfortable when i swallow; muz be my throat getting "heaty".
Hai...juz sick of still stuck inside army. The ORD syndrome had slowly set in, making me a destestable character in my company. Why? Coz i have switched most of my efforts and attention to my men. Coz my mind is juz fixed on my ord date; the rest doesn't matter. I know that in my heart i shouldn't follow the footsteps of my seniors, who always slack to the "max" when it comes to the ord season.
I shouldn't be feeling stress inside tekong now since i am super slack....but somehow i juz found the environment there pretty stifling....
Anyway finally put up that 4 frames in my room and i put a border to the 4 frames consisting of postcards...
I manage to hang up my clock too....the one that my brother passed to me since he had difficulty hanging up the clock permanently.
Sian my brother is back early, assailing me all his noises in practising his new-found instrument passion, Zhong Ruan.

Gona have dinner with parents soon..they wanna go tampines some good eating places to LAO Yu SHENG. I see that as a cultural practice, not a religious kind of practice, so i always go/participate with my family members.
Jus had a arduous journey to the WEST...of coz with no disciples, to IKEA to get my photo frames. When i came back home, have to go down to develop 4 pics in monochrome, with white border. Can u believe it, it was a maid at the counter servicing me. She was on the phone flirting with a guy lor.....can understand some ger chunky bits of english... I was like waiting down there, while she slowly let me choose the pics from the cd i pass to her.
Anyway i have little time now but still wish to type down some thoughts for today.
Today i have BIC at the sispec. All sect coms have to crawl with ur men, mind you. Long time never crawl....it was FREAKING SHAG! But i am quite pretentious over my actual state of mind. I tried to remain calm in front of my men. Anyway one of my men actually got stuck inside the wire entanglement! Can u believe it...?
Hai everyday i have been listening to both versions of the Phantom of the Opera. One from the movie, the other from the actual play by Sarah brightman and Michael Crawford. My gd pal compile the songs for me.
Under a comparison, i realise something that many ppl are wrong about. I actually find that Phantom in the movie is so much better than Michael Crawford in the actual play(believe it or not). I find that the Michael Crawford doesn't really bring out that deep sorrowful voice of Phantom...Michael's voice is kinda too high..and weird..(funny too).
On the same point, Sarah's voice is indubitably good, but she sounded too "technical" if you know what i mean. She sings too "powerfully", using too much of vibrato...spoiling that innocent,dove-like image of Christine....
In the song "wishing you were somehow here again", Sarah doesn't seem to bring out that longing in christine for her father....that sadness... However, i muz say that Sarah has this crystalline voice that i can never find in any sopranos..quite unique.
After hearing the original play, i really prefer the version from the movie. Thumbs up for the movie!... (Raoul inside the play is so dead....doesn't have that lover-of-CHristine voice; haha)

Suppose to go ice-skate today but too lazy to go till so far (jurong mind you)....
Actually i got a project for my room. Since i had been collecting post cards, may be i can get a board to mount some of my pics which are all monochrome(black and white), these pics are then bordered by all the colourful postcards? Hmmm...but i muz first derive the eventual budget for this idea.

Told him that i sincerely and seriously dunno that i have to do a handover....(strategy 1:act blur.)
He asked me whether i got go look at the cleanliness of the whole coy...i said 'yes' (to cover my own ass).
Encik:then why is the perm staff so dirty? You urself go see.

Went to IKEA today with Kel again. THink we muz be so bored these few days to go out together. Long journey there but i guess IKEA never cease to provide those suprises for us. Manage to get a table lamp finally for 14, and we had dinner at the IKEA eating place. The swedish meatballs were simply delectatious....simply satiated me to extremity. =)
After that we decided to head home since we have no place in mind to go. We were tired then....
Now back home, my brother invited his poly mates(all gals;one guy though) for steamboat, mahjong session.
Going to play Chris Botti music in my room later again. Dunno why these few days always like to play his trumpet jazy music in the night...and light up all my candles in their holders. BOred i guess....
I am so full now.....hope that will still be the case later in the night.....

Lovely isn't it... A gal as pretty as her had to have Alzheimer disease. Then she slowly will forget him......
I remember something that she had said to him. To forgive is to build a small little room for hatred. To have hatred in ur heart is to leave all the rooms to hatred so that u have no more rooms and u are outside the house shivering. A true carpenter will build house with only a small room for hatred.

Yesterday watched a movie called "a moment to remember" with Kel. Both of us were really bored on this 2nd day of CNY, with not visits to relatives in the evening. Both of us had heard of that movie juz on that day. But i guess we juz took the risk to go watch it.
Woo Sung Jung, Ye Jin Sohn. Fantastic beyond words.
TOuching movie man! Though i did not shed a tear(dun ask why) but i can hear alot of sniffing coming from thhe whole cinema...
At first i thought this will be quite a typical love story with cliches here and there, but ended up i was taken aback by that powerful plot.
Best korean show i have ever seen as of yet.

The one in the center with jungle hat is my oc....Been talking so much about him ya...and well all these people are buddies whom i am ORDing with around the same time.... Buddies who have been thru thick and skin with me in KILO coy...or KESTREL coy, the new name. IF you ask me, i would say i prefer kilo. Been there for a year plus and kilo sounds more "masochistic" than a kestrel(a kind of bird).

YES i am so exhilirated! Coz my oc yesterday finally approved all my leave for feb and march..... :)
Actually i never expect it to be that smooth coz i expecting some hard negotiation, hot argument, and yada yada discussions.
At least now i can do some planning to my time right :)
Oh ya..i better start training for my Duothalon...going to get some good timing...10km...a break while my fren cycles for 40km followed by my last lap of 5km....
Dunno whether i am being impulsive or what but it seems a bit imponderable for me to finish that kind of distance.... sian..anyway already signed up so no backing out.. :P
Finally out of impulse bought the Phantom of the opera soundtrack, coz of the new song inside called Learn to be lonely. Angelina is burning for me the original play version.
I am addicted to singing the songs at home....even my mum keeps quiet (but i think she is suffering on the inside)> NO LAr...i dun sing in the living room lor....i sing in my room (sometimes living room i admit). Oh well....the All i ask of you is simply too addictive!

Hai..my brother fell sick when i came home from camp yesterday. He was down with fever...and my mum was saying of all times but now.
My mum brought out all her possible choice of clothes for her first day of CNY and i helped her choose one which my second brother chooses too. She was telling me how the clothes in bugis street was so cheap compared to Giordano. Hehe...my mum also likes to go to places i go to huh?
Anyway next came my brother; he bought some shirts from Jean-Pierre and this time round, i dun like the design of the clothes....shirts with slippers on it? Spare me... My brother went to Ikea yesterday and spent quite abit on things to liven up his room. I muz say that my brother is good man...or may be coz we were all somewhat artistically and musically inclined since we were young...
Oh well...the artistic part do change the way we see things. We wun say we are good at HOme decor but the elemental steps to basic home decor is there lar. Furthermore Ikea stuff is quite affordable ma. He bought this lengthy carpet(39) which somehow matches the colour of his bedsheets(ikea also). He bought a table lamp which is veri sleek and flexible. Real felxible. Then we start to talk about how temptatious IKEA can be coz it seems to provide solutions aplenty to our daily household problems...
Can't believe that i juz asked my brother whether he wan to go watch CONSTANTINE together. I never watch with him any movie, and i thought this CNY i should try. Sad huh, 21 already still haven gone out with ur brother before hahaha.
Let's pray that my little brother can get well soon....

Having spent so many days at home, i kind of dread to go back camp for duty tmr....really sick of army.
Gals can never understand the kind of frustration we have, never will they ever empathise. Sian. U think i like to serve the army meh? Come on, i am not that patriotic.
Yes i am going to go on and on about army. Kind of angry that a fren of mine from airforce is going to serve the country on CNY eve and the first day? What is the world coming to?
Juz when i was about to ask him why it muz be a Chinese to perform that duty on that day, i suddenly remember the dearth of melayus and hindies in the airforce. Hmmm but then....haizz
My fren was complaining to me about how dejected he was that he couldn't have that reunion dinner next tue..and i can really idenify with that lor...
You might think it is juz a dinner lar, nothing one...but once a year, u muz observe a bit of that cultural part ma.... crap..
I really hope that tmr i can pass the leave approval form to my OC for early approval of my leave on the monday....dun wish to stay back on monday for nothing....sian one u know......

Yo sis, angry ah? You should know that i write whatever i think here, it's not more bitching about u over here and not bringing up to you. Bringing up to you might be another joke to you too...
Remember that night, obviously it wasn't a joke that u mention to me that "I told him about you too". HOw could these simple words be joke juz from reading it from the pc screen right. May be i am wrong..i dunno.
Perhaps i am reading too much into these simple words...hai..nvm. And of coz i am not afraid to write about u inside ...if not that wun be blogging already right? Sorry k? :)

After settling down to read my vocab book, flipping thru the dict for half an hour, ennui was incipient hehe. Thus, i tidy up my whole house, vaccum the floors, mopped the floors, clear all the rubbish the bins. My dad woke up not long after that to prepare the ingredients to make the dough for my mum to come back from her work to start on the pineapple tarts str8 away.
Monetary affairs aside, sometimes find my dad quite responsible towards the sharing of the domestic chores assigned to him by my mum. I guess he was quite tired from the night before's shift. So for once, i am going to give me some credits for that.
Chinese new year, hmm i suggest to my mum that we could always go eat out at some restaurant to break that boring tradition in our family to eat at home. GUess what was her reply? "Next time when u work, u treat all of us go eat, i confirm wun mind one....". This left me nonplussed.
YOu might be wondering why once in a while i like to use some funny words, but actually i force myself to do this in order to remember the words well.
A bit lazy to go out today but cousin asked me if i wanna go dine with him later. Perhaps i will go lar since he always paid for the meals. He working ma. :P

Went skin center today. The doc gave me antibiotics and another cream. Thats it. Suppose to meet Chris at 1pm but finish my appt at 1130am. Went to the HMV at city link and listen to all the tracks in the Phantom of the Opera for about half an hour. Nice.
We went to Raffles city food court for lunch then proceed to Penisular plaza to look for shoes. Finally bought the adiddas shoes for 95..
We went to bugis junction, then went to the bugis street....where the old market was being torn down, replaced by even more shops. Even the upstairs have shops too...
Back home, slack, read my book, watched my mum baked her Pineapple tart. Promised her to clean up the house today, yet i ended up spent a large part of my day outside. My mum's tarts are always the best. Yummy.
Had a bad toothache...which sometimes the pain subside and at times it become excruciating....dunno what the hell is wrong. Hmm time for me to throw ATT C to my officer. :P
Most of my mates in airforce had already been officially discharged by their superiors and yet i have to bargain my way out of that stupid isle.
If there is something wrong with the management of manpower, then that is ur problem, dun make it mine!
Yesterday really pissed with that gal lor. Go tell her mates about me nvm, now seems that she likes to create a joke out of me to everybody, and that includes the guy that she is seeing at the moment. Fine. Big deal. When a joke becomes a persistent medium to liven up ur conversation or life...then pls make sure ur joke doesn't break someone.

Was enticed By lim teh to go eat Sakae...but at least we didn't spend that much on the food lar...so still forgivable.
Realised that they opened a Soup Restaurant in century square. I tried the food from the soup rest once at the paragon and i muz say the cuisines are superb...took my breath away then.
I start to see tampines as a neighbourhood with a semblance of a town. All the shops and restaurants that are of my all-time favourites are all coalescing together here in tampines. Of coz not every of my favourites lar.....
Boring day..but at least went out to eat something good today...and now back at home, think i am going to read the book i'd borrowed from the library entitled, "alpha male".
I am pissed off with my dad....had been pissed with him for a 2 weeks...coz he kept wanting to borrow a hundred from me...no way...

Decisions in life come with terrible consequences when they are never made with caution. Perhaps when we grow up we come upon small little decisions that u need to make that might not raise much tidal waves in the later part of your life.
I am not sure myself behind my hesitation over the choice of study in NUS. I am aware that following hearsays is never a good yardstick to determine the choice of what i eventually wan to become.
My source of counsellors somehow wan me to switch simply coz the schedule in engin is too hectic and too competitive. Back in my mind, i know that alot of my army colleagues are going there too...
No matter how saturated the market can be, i know that i cannot juz take the easier option, to study life sci. NOw the question is about life sci versus engin.
Engin covers a wide spectrum of expertise, including management, which is something i thought can do. Oh well....
I decide to juz stick with engin...
