BOOK OUT BOOK OUT DAY

Finally come back from Tekong and back to CIVILIAN LIFE; oh God how I missed it! We were advised not to blog details on the things we did back in camp, thus yea to keep it vague. .

I remembered on the first night when 13 unknown strangers come together in the same bunk and sleep together, the atmosphere was kinda weird but luckily there were this joker around to break ice, the self introduction was made and stuff. Is kinda scary that only within 2 weeks I witnessed all sought of peeps, those ‘wayang’ one whom acts good in front of superior but anyhow behind their back, those purposely stirred up conflict among the group, those who plays ‘psychological’ warfare and sought of peeps. I played the quiet one and keep observing.

During the 2 weeks stay, I was pretty shut off, lack initiative, lack enthusiasm; perhaps I hadn’t get used to the life there yet, but hopefully for the next book in, I will show some of those traits!

As for training, my pull-up on the first day was like 7 (NAFA was 9), as the days goes average was like 2-4 that I failed my IPPT trial test! LOL la, first time failed’ NAFA’ (cux we were doing pull up like every day, that my muscles had yet to recover, zzz!)even my most confident station shuttle sprint from under 10s to 10.4s for the trial IPPT (pull up was my first station, think demoralize laio). LOL!
Kai had to put in more enthu and initiative on his next book in! do it whole heartedly!

Chronicle of my life before army~ Part 2 & 3 & 4 &5 &6(now)

This post will get longer-revealing the chronicle of my life b4 army till i went in on the 9th july

Yesterday met up with Hwee min! Embarrass thing happened even before we met la. We were supposed to meet at Doby Ghaut station, but I waited at the purple-line doby instead of the red-line doby. I ought to have know is at the red- line cux she coming down from woodlands and we’re suppose to head to city hall. When her msg reached me saying that she’d reached I was like

‘Where are you’

‘Last cabin side’

As I was at one end, but couldn’t see her so I walk to the other end and still can’t find her; so I was literally patrolling round the station like 2.5 rounds before I was sure that she wasn’t here. I gave her a call and she said

‘Are you still at the station where you just got out?’

‘Yea’

‘Im at the side heading to city hall’

I WAS LIKE TOTALLY OH MY GOD LA. . .ZZZZZZZZZ

Well anyway we still meet. . .

Got our dinner at subway and ta-bao all the way to Esplanade roof-top and mankan! Another embarrass thing happen; I don’t know the standard procedure of ordering at subway! There are a few hiccups before I finally had my combination of toast and she was doing it at lightning speed la (a season subway lover, she sure is =]).


AT Esplanade roof-top

The toast!




We were looking for seats to settle down, when she saw this place and jump on it; cross legged and smile (thought that was cute =])

Anyway. . .

While eating; we share about each other thoughts, life and kind of stuffs before the photo taking session!

Some of the photos taken were so weird and funny, that we couldn’t help but laugh at ourselves and keep asking questions like “why we look so weird and funny arh?” (and obviously i upload the better one =])





The lighting, the wind breeze, the stars really make it a comfortable environment for the 2 of us to talk =]

Then we decide to left for level one when she said she looking for some water-pond-thing (which I ‘d no idea of what it is)

notice the blue-ball thingy? is where the so call water-pond thing is (LOL!)





Then emo-pics






Then stunt-pics; some attempts before she manage to shoot this down (which I love it to bits!)





I tried to do the same for her; but my reaction is just too slow to capture the mid-air post, so it ended up with her giggle-gesture when she landed herself b4 the flash comes. . .LOL




Then we walk down this river and we saw this wall-board like kind of thing with makers attached to it. It supposedly mean to be a national day’s message kind of thing but we ended drawing my own crubo (tt furry monster) and her little snail, LOL



Did I forget to mention another thing? Cux my camera had my own recording when I’d my so-call –singing practice- @ home. Somehow, she managed to see and listen to it! Yea this made it to embarrass no.3!

All in all, I do enjoy myself, the talks, some of the kuku pics and the company. She 1 of those girls that can make me feels comfortable to speak out and bring out my bubble-side. AIYO, BUT I going army SOON. . . I can’t imagine a botak guy arm with his geeky black specs, perhaps some breakout going out on a date! LOL

PIC OF THE DAY (according to her)

04/07

So today I met up with another 1 of the 4 buddies-John! We’d luch at café cartel (luch set meal is always more affordable!) He’d his teriyaki spaghetti while I had some baked fillet with some potato top with some salad (with limited hint of bosanic vinger;LOL)

"I shall have my drink first"


"ready to tuck in no time!"


Then we head down to Esplanade for some free concert; which totally brings someone like me who don’t appreciate to sleep la. I was like critic then, saying some ‘pro comments’ like

‘The music doesn’t sound full’

‘There no coordination between the band and conductor’

I passed buy JL MS, where i met 1 of the KT promoters, and chit chat bout 30mis before we head for the movie. Of course she tried to unravel something from some kapo guy like me , =/

Then we head down to movie “Kung-fu Panda’ (finally found someone who hasn’t watched it!)

The storyline is pretty simple and cliché kind of thing, but definitely worth the time to watch! The fighting scenes were all awesome! I guess the animation is trying to bring out 1 important theme that is believed in yourselves or the secret lie within yourself!

When all people are desperately looking for short-cut/power as depict by the dragon-scroll; it actually is blank. When the scroll reflect the mirror image of the panda (that he realized there nothing special, but me who is special to make a different!)

Did I forget to mention the Master Wu-gui; he is so cute la! He mentioned this cliché statement ‘Yesterday was something, tomorrow is something special, and today is a gift since its present (now)’.

And the Wu-shu finger holds! Simply loves that stance!
Then we headed to for some pepper lunch express before landed ourselves at the usual starbucks and talk about more of future then the usual good old days and philosophical things.

So its movie marathon yet again; we headed for Bugis to catch “Hancock”- not about someone name Han with his cock, else it be Han’s cock @__@ [that’s was what I thought of when Ruben was suggesting for the show,LOL]

The movie itself again is zzzz la.. some funny scenes are worth mentioning like
One the prisoner head was forced into another guy’s butt!

Hancock the story itself is about feeling of ‘lost’ and finding your own identify, about how remorseful it is to be dejected when you meant good.

The irony of the story is about how Hancock’s race are supposed to be created to so call save the world; when they’re created to be inter-twined/linked together (no matter how far the 2 are, they will still find each other) that when the 2 are together, they lost their power and just like another human out there, age and die. So if you want to live; be as far from your own species as far as possible, so is like a choice between power and togetherness and between love and sacrifice (sacrifice your own by deserting the loved one, that he/she will still have the power to protect themselves)

Man did I get it right?

Anyway. . . dinner was at Sofra (a Turkish restaurant)

(it was really dark, the candle lit up the menu! )

yea right! @__@

MAn i love this!


Pic well done. . .


My 3 gulps finished Turkish tea, zzzz



When the food came, didn’t bother to snap them and head straight to dig in! so we were like sharing, you take mine, I take yours, sometime I ka-po yours w/o them knowing and kind of stuff! LOL!


After dinner, group photos!




All like man/woman in black, e only identif-able color are me and peishan (red and grey,LOL)




Thereafter, left 5 of us, wondering round Bugis Street, encircling in circle like vulture below its carcass (hmm my descriptive juice must be overflowing right now), before we finally landed ourselves at this road side dessert store for what else- dessert!

I ordered the traditional paste, walnut! Thinking walnut>almond>sesame>peanut in term of price and all cost the same [i must clarify though, the thoughts come in after i ordered it, LOL!!!!]

The desserts

The 4 NPCC musketeers w/o John turns out today @ Vivo for brunch at Subway (AGAIN??) even though I just had it recently, I still totally had no idea on the SOP (standard operation protocol, according to clins)! I order 1 foot when I wanted 6 inches; thinking 6>1 (cux i wanted a smaller 1, zzzzz); when the guy drag out the 1 foot loaf, I knew tt was not the size I wanted but still too ps to said ‘wrong size’ so just stick with it!

As expected, I finished about 10inches of loft, leaving the 2 inches behind! @__@

Thereafter, the 3 walk walk and photo taking as usual (whenever there’s Lion around)





courtesy of LIon's photography skills, gt this pic well done!




Then it movie time! We catch “wanted’ when I thought it was ‘1/3’, when they told me to watch that movie. The movie itself makes your heart tumbling like mad with the action pack and not forgetting the double of A. Jolie show casing her butt (OPS). The plot is about how this ugly duckling becoming a dazzling swan kind of thing. The idea of seeing oneself as God is kind of cliché thing when Sloan comes out with this ‘fate-creator-thread-machine’ which decide the next to-be assassinated victim. Aiya, all in all there some twist that makes me baffled but its just not my kind of movie, =/

Thereafter, the guys talk about shit lots of stuffs revolving what else-Love life, when Clins asked us for suggestion on date and kind of things (as if we’re the pro); but theoretically I may know, to deliver it out I don’t know how to, LOl.

Well good time spend with those 2 buddies before army! =]

Mel and I decided to ‘rackey’ the lately built-bridge connectors linking Mt.Faber to Henderson Wave to Natural trails to Alexandra Arch to Hortpark but we didn’t venture into the Kent Ridge region @__@ oh well. . .

Brunch was at this French restaurant, we’d some Tartins (an open sandwich) with Tiramisu as desserts (I was like Tiramisu at this part of time, some more there’s hint of liquor/rum?) well since I haven’t had a chance to try it so why not, the first bite was impressive when the liquor sort of like vaporize and exploded in your mouth,boom. Thereafter when your taste bud got used to it, the taste becomes milder and milder before it becomes like another cake with subtle taste. Mel the guru explained ‘Dessert is the last part of dish, so it need to bring you down from a climax yea?’

Tiramisu with Eiffel tower beside it



As usual impressed with his guru-ish answer! LOL

Then we head on for the expedition! The grueling walk up & down Mt. Faber was the toughest of the journey, with uneven and steep steps. In the midst was some hidden pavilion where lovers can spend their time there and enjoyed the sunset!! There this lovely church somewhere but we can’t locate it, maybe next time I shall track it down with someone else? LOL

Top of Faber


Then down Faber



Continued the journey, we reach Henderson wave with lots of detour (thanks to Mel for he wanted to visit some steam garden and ended up In some muddy pond with only 1 terrapin being spotted!) zzz LOL!

Henderson wave!


REST!






Riding down the waves, we reached the most inter-twined bridges you saw in SG- The something natural trails or stm! I like how it turns and twist before we reached the bottom! Then it started rain la just before we set forth! But was kind of cool experience, the splashing of rain, the strong wind!

Ladies&Gentleman may i present you e something natural trails


seems like an enchanted forest yea?





Then before long we cross the Alexandra Arch and reached Hortpark (some garden) and saw 2 wedding couples taking photos!

Then a bus ride down to Lao-pa-sak and had this Kebab (yes again!); but more economical one! LOL! Was quite good la, just that not enough meat to goes with the rice =/ then down to Esplanade and chill at this luxurious café (cookie museum), the services was like top-notch, when the waitress push a trolley to your side, using a tweezer to take the serviette on your side and the kind of thing. I felt weird at first, as I felt totally out of place in this kind of posh/extravagant place. Mind you, I was sitting in a golden armed chair (according to them). That place was like, you ordered your tea, and sample the cookies available (they even have exotic flavors like ikan billis, laksa!)LOL totally impressed in their art of computing those thing into cookies!.

a total of 200++ photos are taken, and it'll be nuts to upload them all, so i just put bout 1/4 of e pics taken in this sideshow!

02/07

Met up with Lion for some quick lunch before some game of bowling; it was like since when I last bowl, perhaps 3++ years back (cux I don remembered I did bowl during my poly’s days). As expected, I’d performed all the ‘long-kang’ kind of shots; where the entire ball roll down the corner of the lane; luckily no girls of our age there, if not I wouldn’t have had continue the game. LOL!

I even tried to act pro as usual when I tried to twist the ball making it spin. My kind of spin is the ball spinning round in a fixed position, not those kinds that spin from one corner to the center kind of stunt obviously! And it just didn’t get better evidently. . Lion was doing much better . . . wait wayyyyyyyy better, considering my average score of like 50 (I KNOW IS PATHETIC) @___@

Then we sit down for some tea and prata and talk about the good old times, the girls, about life even! This kind of thing is really nostalgic and I really do enjoy it! =]

touCh me / toUCh me not

Someone recently just spark my interest in occult or otherwise referred as ‘hidden wisdom’. We’re talking about supernatural thing when she mentioned Wicca. I remembered mentioning the term in my blog sometime back during my attachment period when I’d nothing better to do and done some read up on it over the net.

People usually associate the term with witchcraft/evil/Satanism and stuffs, a major stereotype. I’m not into this kind of New Age thing, but will just read it up to satisfy my curiosity. Those little spell that evolve round imagination, like imagine water washing away those ‘evil/sad thoughts’ as you having a bath or something is pretty psychological kind of thing and is ‘touchable’. Those revolved round tools, drawing of circle; chatting to me is a touch-me-not art, so yea. . . But who knows, when one is drive into 1 corner, they might just turn to this kind of divinity for aids. All things doesn’t come free, there is always an equal trade in, you gain something; you’ll lose something. Perhaps the 3-fold thing is there to restrict people from touching the not-to-touch things, but is always safer to believe; there ate always rules to follow


Anyway, I totally agree with 1 of their ‘teaching’, about the concern for the environment like aboriginal-based religions. Quotes ‘They strongly respect and care for the earth itself, and all of its species of animals and plants. They feel closely tuned to the cycles of nature and to the earth itself. They reject the concept, mentioned in Genesis 1:28, that mankind is to subdue the earth and to dominate all of its living creatures. They feel that humans should live in cooperation with other species and with the universe.’

It weird but sometime when I pass by this park, the tree with its bark tainted black from the car exhaust; I will unknowingly felt sorry for them. . . @___@
