Days of my Life

Ming Yong’s 21st birthday celebration @ Double O. He’s a X-mas baby, so it’s a double celebration. The countdown for his birthday is also for Merry X-mas too.

He and his gang reached @ 11pm. Ming Jin and I both reached @ around 1140pm. He came out to meet us, and the both of us were quite stun to see him wearing that. Still, you get to turn 21 only once in your life. Haha…

His sister had made a reservation. We get to have a table + seats ( of course). A bottle of Chivas and Martell. However, the bottle of Chivas was already gone and they are like 1/4 into the bottle of Martell already. For warm up, each of the 3 of us, down 2 cups of neat each. ( Half-filled, luckily )

Just when all the people are counting down for X-mas’08, our table are actually counting down for M.Y’s 21st. We followed that up with the traditional birthday song.

-_-” His sister ordered a tray of shots. Was that ‘Sex on the Beach’? It certainly doesn’t look like Tequila Shots.

Cheerz~

As usual, M.Y shouted, ‘BOH TAH, BOH…?’ The rest of us helped him continue his favourite line with ‘Lan Pah!’

Ming Jin was at the bar ordering Graveyard, so he wasn’t there when we were drinking the shots. And F.Y.I, each of us drank 2 shots. So he was making a very stupid remark, “Oops no more already? Too bad I wasn’t around!”

I looked at the table and saw that there’s still Martell in the bottle. I informed M.Y. and to my horror ( and M.J’s horror ), he emptied the whole bottle of content in a glass. Just nice, a glass full of Martell. He gave M.J an ultimatum, either he finished it, or… Haha…

I was offering to drink half of it, but well, M.J was game enough to finish it.

Tah-ing the Graveyard. We got a surprise when the order came. M.J had only ordered 3 glasses, but 6 glasses came. One-for-One Madness~ The rest of the people quickly proceed to the bar and place their order. All are just out to make M.Y drunk.

M.J trying to get M.Y to down the 2nd glass of Graveyard. And btw, that gal who’s standing between me and M.J, is none other than M.J’s girlfriend, Carena.

Up larh~ bro

Who say’s Army is a complete waste of time? In some sense, yes! But I get to make really good friends. The above 2 slarts are very good example~

Group Shot.

The 3 of us! Clubbing with the both of them is always so much fun. Haha…

Remember I did mention earlier that it’s 1 for 1 Madness? M.Y’s friends came back with their order. I ‘tah’ the AK47 and Barcadi on behalf of him.

The Birthday Boy, sloshed and gone~ We brought him to the carpark, so that his sister can send him home.

M.J… gone too… Same goes for his girlfriend. Haha…

Anyway, thanks for the invitation M.Y and Happy 21st 2 you ;)

We carried the fun back to the hotel room. The girls went up first. Then I was like ‘Oh Shit!’ Without the key card, we won’t be able to go up. Somehow, despite being high-gone already, Mike still remembered that the Captain have an all-floor access key card. He ran back ( Yes! He ran! ) to the function room, and started to… You know? How drunk people will ‘brother brother’ everyone? That’s what he did.

There were 2 people in the elevator when we entered. Mike suddenly just turned his head and started smiling at them. I quickly positioned myself ( Luckily I’m tall ) to block it. *phew*

The Beng’s and Lian’s from Tanglin Secondary School. Less Esther, the rest of us were from Tanglin Secondary. Even the camera-man, SK. The group of us actually started singing the School Song -_-” Should I call it retro?  lolz

With the bride. Knew her since I was in Secondary 2, which was like 1998? And it’s year 2008. Happy 10 years to our friendship.~

How to show your clevage when taking pictures ~ Lesson by Sharon

She was trying to teach Esther.

As you can see, she went into convulsion~

Standby and position your Bling Bling if you have it~

Then you put on a cutesy smile and SQUEEZE-EEEEE~

Ooops~

What you know?

The Return of  the Clevage Sista~

Yeah!

Seeya Next year~

End Credits~

Just as I was putting on the new pair of jeans, bought especially for the wedding, I discovered that the zip ain’t working. What a balls-banger situation. I’d to rush back to Jurong Point for a one to one exchange. At the same time, I made a mental note, ‘To check all merchandise before purchasing’.

I used to despise people who do that. It’s kind of un-glam to me. However, I can so see why they actually go about doing that.

As a result, I was late. We had agreed to meet up early to rehearse.

Ta-dah~ Despite being late, I’m still managed to be the first one to drop the Ang Paw into the box, designed by the bride, herself. Everyone was busy writing their names on their respective Ang Paw. I said, “I’m not going to write mine, coz the one with $2 in it is mine!”

… I of course, didn’t really give $2. Haha

The couples in their first out of three wedding wears of the day. As you can see, we were all wearing BLACK, the theme of the wedding. Or should I just say, our table, the V.V.I.P table.

Clowning around, waiting for the guest to arrive.

Vandalising the guestbook. MediaCorp Channel 8, chinese drama series ‘Fu Man Ren Jian’ was one of our all time favorites. We got Yingmei to write out those so-called greetings, and the rest of us signed on it.

Can’t say no to free Chips. lolz

Jeslyn and Esther, manning the reception desk. Job can be quite a bitch, imagine smiling and saying Hi to people who you don’t know…

Come to think of it, this is what I’m doing 5 days a week, over the phone -_-”

With Sharon’s bouquet of flowers. I managed to kio twice, when she threw can!!! When I kio the first time, the other’s say no count. Then I managed to catch it again the 2nd time, while, still no count. LOLZ… It eventually went to Kartina. So I guess it’s your wedding dinner next on the list!

The ,obviously, re-use Wedding Cake. I thought that it’s made of styrofoam. totally amzaed by the fact that there’s a cake smell coming out from the cut. Yes! I actually gave it a sniffed can~

Saboh-ing Mike. He ate the bittergourd and drank the sweet syrup himself. I helped him with the Vinegar *erlack*. Just for the record, I’d never drank/ate so much vinegar in my life till that night. Genki helped him down a whole glass of Chivas, neat!

… My eyes almost popped out when I saw him down the whole glass of chilli and started munching. God! He said, “I’d started eating chilli since I was 3 years old!” In other words, ‘No Kick’

I love Regent Hotel. By far, this is the best wedding dinner which I’d attended so far. So many first time for me…

1) First time being Emcee

2) First time giving such a big red packet (From my own pocket)

3) First time attending a GOOD friend’s wedding

4) First time drinking Chivas with friends in a wedding dinner

5) First time wearing so black to a wedding dinner. It’s kind of a taboo for the Chinese ( Fuck the superstitous beliefs) to wear black on joyous occassion.

The cold plate was kind of dissappointing. BUT the rest of the course was FABULOUS. The food was just so nice. Pa La Pa Pa Pa~ I’m Loving It~

I was totally blown away by the friendliness level of the Captain/Waiter/Waitress. They are the most helpful

Congruts to you both~

End of Part 1

And she’s 83 this year.

Happy Birthday Gramps~

My elder brother and I trying to steal a kiss.

The gang of cousins takng a shot with Gramps~

As usual, the youngest members of the family will always blow the candles out, even if it’s not their birthday.

Do we seriously, look a like? Family members say that we don’t, but our friends say that we does.

… Me?

I don’t think we do!

Coz I’m more handsome *puke*

Looking PUNK!

Due to health reason, this might be her last birthday celebration..

Isn’t it strange?

On how you just don’t go about meeting up with a good friend who live like a stone throw distance away from you?

I’m refering to one of my Medic Pals, Cheng Lim. He lived only a road (and some blocks) away from me. The thing is after we passed out from Modified Spec 2, we don’t even meet up for dinner. Bukit Panjang Plaza is just around the corner, and we are DEFINITELY not living in some rural areas. Still, we just don’t meet up.

Another friend is Soon Yong. I knew him during the good old Tekong days. We always shared a cab home, after booking out. We advanced to SISPEC together, same platoon, different section.  And we later found out that we shared a mutual friend, Kelvin. A good friend of his and my coursemate in Ngee Ann.

Like Cheng Lim, he lived just nearby. Still… we didn’t make the effort to keep in touch.

I was going for a run earlier and I heard a familiar, “Kee Lin!”

I turned around and saw… Cheng Lim ( and is that girl beside him, his girlfriend?)

He’s back from Chicago and will be going back for the new semester on Happy New Year day. Will it be possible to organise another meet up session?

Well… Hopefully~

Anyway, it’s Mambo @ Double O with Ash and Becky tml night.

Sunday be Sharon’s Wedding Dinner.

The 3 of us had made a special marking on our calendar weeks ago, that we’ll have dinner together. Nothing special but just that the pay is out and it’s only right to splurge and spoil yourself silly.  Both Ashley and Nat did, but I didn’t.

We settled for NYDC as we decided to go ‘Western’, ordered 3 main dish , so that we’ll be able to have a variety. Becky, who lived around Holland V (which I later found out that ‘It’s only a 5 minutes walk away’) dropped by to say HI, with her son. Honestly, I still can’t believed that she’s a mother of 2 already.

We quickly grabbed our Barangs and headed to Wala Wala @ 850pm, because Ashley said, “One for one is before 9pm!”

Upon seeing the first item on the menu, Natalie went weak. It’s her all time favorite, Lychee Martini.

Woot~

Nat doesn’t like the taste of Asahi. It’s going for 1 for 1, whole night long. Ash and I downed bottle each. Both of us decided to go for the ‘KICK’. We sipped the beer through straws, slowly…

… Sadly…

The ‘highness’ wasn’t there…

The famous Chicken Wings.

Before ordering, I reminded Ashley that she’s suppose to be on a diet.

…

FUCK IT~

Us… with the X-mas tree~

During our last meet up @ Brewerkz, Staff Yak told us that the Lorongs in Geylang are the only places in Singapore whereby you get to a) drive slowly and hog the road and b) tailgate the slow car in front of you, without getting horn by someone.

I think he’s actually refering to Lorong 18 ( I think ) where the most beautiful girls with the best asset be standing at. Under an umbrella and of course a lamp-post for the overall effect. Haha~

Clubbing on Wednesday night and M.J pulled a Frank on us, early morning. Still that didn’t stopped M.Y and I from going.

Not bad this time, managed to hear most of my favorites less Square Rooms and I Heard A Rumor. And I’m now looking for 2 songs, which I unfortunately, don’t know the title. Fuck! That’s quite a challenge! With no prizes to be won.

I’ll need to go search high and lows in those CDs shop~

I’m lucky. The gathering was at 8pm but my shift ends only @ 9pm. However, thanks to a persistent cum unreasonable customer, I’d to do a Sim Courier to where-else, but Clarke Quay, where the others were already at.

I managed to pass the Sim Card to the customer by 9pm and all I need was to cross the bridge in Clarke Quay to the other side,  Brewerkz.

It’s so nice to see everyone again. I had missed the last gathering due to some personal reasons. Everyone, except Tijo turned up this time round.

During my time, it’s Leonard, Rayston and Jimmy. After R and J ord-ed, Chee Wee, Kelvin and Tijo took over. I lingered for a while more, before Chun Huat took over my post as Senior Medic 2 I/C.

It’s kind of heartwarming feeling that we all still make the effort to ‘keep in touch’ even after army. A kind of bond which I will treasure always. Coz these people are part of my happy army memories. And of course the 2 superiors of mine, Dr Chan and my Senior Medic, Staff Yak, both of whom I learnt loads from during army days.

Didn’t drink much though! I only had 2 glasses of beer, coz tml it’s Mambo with M.Y and M.J. Hopefully, I’ll get to listen to my favorites retro hits.

~I Heard A Rumor, They Say You Got A Broken Heart~

As usual, Frank’s the pilot again. An hour before the meetup, he sms-ed me that he can’t make it, as he’s not feeling very well, could be the things that he ate last night.

I told him that it’s okay as Lubin and I was already mentally prepared for this. Like I said, if he ever turned up, it will be a bonus. ( Lubin said ‘ I’ll be damn  if he ever turns up’)

Before leaving for home to change after the Marathon, I text M.Y to check if he had crossed the finishing line. He didn’t replied. After taking my bath and still not getting a reply from him, I gave him a ‘care’ call, to check if he’s alright. I asked him when he answered the call, “Are you alive?”

“No… I’m taking this call in the Heaven!” He replied.

… I almost hung up. Haha… Anyway, he didn’t go for the gathering.

No one was there when I reached City Hall. I was just about to text Lubin when that devil ( You know? Speaking of the Devil?) suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Desmond sms-ed to inform that he’ll be damn late. And Jordan… Where’s Jordan?

I gave him a call, silently hoping that he won’t pull a Frank. Luckily, he answered and said that he’s in the toilet and will be coming down soon. I was kind of shock to learn that he didn’t went home to change after the marathon, on the other hand, he’s as equally shocked to know that I’d not only went home for a change but still can meet up on time. Honestly, to meet at 2pm was kind of a rush.

Had been a long time since I last met him and he’s still the same, old short him. He told us that he had lost his handphone and all his contacts are gone. Feeling curious, I asked him how he managed to recognise our numbers? He said, ” I know that it’s you, because when I read the sms, it started with  ’Hey Frodo…’ !”

… Nicknames~ They just do wonders, don’t they? Anyway, upon hearing that, Lubin had a laughing fit. Apparently no one knows that I called him Frodo, BUT why is it that when anyone of them says ‘Old Man’, they will know the reference ( refering to me, by the way ) ?

Happy Days…

Kenny Rodgers had changed. As in the way they operate. It used to be self-service. You decide on what you want, and after that just proceed to the counter to make your orders + payments.

Now? There’s someone who will take your order. Lubin asked me, “Does it means that they will start charging the 10% service charge?” I gave him a squint and told him that the 10% service charge has always been there.

Coincidentally, those 3 who had turned up, Desmond, Lubin and Jordan, were all from the same J.Cs.

A bit of history. We were all from Modified Spec 2, the Charlie Batch. There’s only 11 of us. Yes! That was the total strength of the whole company. The below is the breakdown…

Total = 11

J.C graduates = 9

Poly graduates = 2

Out of the 9 J.C graduates,

4 ( Cheng Lim, Bong, M.J, Frank and M.Y) are from RJC.

3 ( Desmond, Jordan and Lubin) are from NJC.

1 (Mong Seng) is from Hwa Chong.

2 (Helzie and I) are from Poly.

Back to where I was,

The 3 of them agreed that NJC are the most trusthworthy ones, will keep their words and all…  Those 5 from RJC are kind of a pilot in their own ways. Haha… Sounds a bit strange, but still, quite true.

Cuiling was supposed to give me a ride @ 345am. However, when I didn’t see her little red car turning into the taxi stand @ 410am, I started to get a bit worried. My worst fear was confirmed when I called her and a sleepy voice greeted me at the other end.

… She had overslept. I almost fainted when she asked me, “What time is it now?” I said, “410!” and that got her screaming and asking me to ‘wait for her and that she’s coming!’ Haha… Same old Cuiling, forever the tardy queen.

While waiting for her, I received Jordan’s reply in regards to our meet up. Frodo had finally returned from his China trip AND he went for the marathon too. What a shock! I didn’t know that he’s into marathon too. That fellow was crazy enough to catch only 45 mins of sleep and went for the long run. Mind you! it’s 4-fucking-2 km.

Because of the massive crowd, we were at the near end of the pack. Couldn’t hear the gunning which mark the start of the marathon. Since Cuiling is with her boyfriend, I decided not to be a lamp post and I went loner.

By the time I hit 38 km, my legs already went jelly. Every step requires a huge amount of effort and my body was aching all over. The sun was being a bitch. However, I pressed on and I managed to finish the 2nd marathon of my life.

-_-” And I’m slower by 21 mins as compared to last year. Still, I managed to complete within 6 hrs. Is it some kind of a sign, telling me that I’m old already? Haha! Whatever the case is, I’m going to participate again next year. It shall be a 10 year cycle thing for me. After my 10th year, I shall retire from the ‘pugilistic’ world.

Still, the feeling of running past the finishing line is very great. Maybe I should just join the Sundown Night Time Marathon. Just to stay fit~

Had home-cooked Pasta for dinner earlier on and a bunch of grapes. I didn’t dare drink the Vitagen, for fear that I end up looking for a toilet when running.

Time ( really ) flies and tomorrow, or rather in another few hours, I’ll be running my second Marathon. Hopefully, I’ll be able to complete it within 5 hours. I clocked 5 hr’s and 19 mins last year.

The meet up with the Charlie’s gang is finally on. However, the ‘main actor’ won’t be there. Lubin is still trying to get him though. Hopefully he can make it, coz it’d been a long time since we last saw him.

Managed to get Frank the last minute. I warned him not to FLY us. He has this habit of disappearing into the thin air the day before a meet up. When I sms-ed him earlier  in the day, and he didn’t replied, I though he’s doing his usual. Luckily, a phone call and he picked up.

I shall treat it as, if he ever turn up, it be a bonus. Haha…

Watched Victoria Secret Fashion Show’08 earlier on and woohoo~ Miranda Kerr is chio de lor.

And it’s at Expo, which is like in far-far away land.

Had scheduled to meet Cuiling @ 7pm in Bugis MRT control station. As usual, that gal was late. I mis-read her sms. It reads ‘Leaving for City Hall now!” I interpreted that as the MRT which she’s on had left City Hall, so when the next one arrived, I immediately hopped on.

Turned out, she’s making her way to City Hall and not on board train yet! Worse, when she told me that she’s on no. 18, I actually looked around for cabin number 18. It turned out that she’s refering to the bus no. 18 she was on. We changed the meet up place to Expo (itself) instead.

By the time I arrived, there’s already a long queue in sight. And the operating hours is only from 12 pm to 8pm. Time check, 736pm. Which means that 24 minutes to closing time, which also means that SHE have better get her ass here.

Ta-dah! The usher didn’t chase  us away, we managed to get into the main hall, to join another queue. While waiting for our turn, we updated each other on our lifes. Been a long time since we had last chatted, as usal ( which I strongly believe that it’s a typical girl thing to do ), as soon as she took off her cardigan, she asked, “How’s my arm? Fat?”

-_-” And my standard reply would always be, ” Okay!” For the record, I ain’t lying. I really thought that it looks okay.

Just to sidetrack, *gasp* Borders having a sale in Expo from 6~8 Dec. Which is like another ‘Ha-Ha’ for me. I’m working till 6pm on the 6th, on the 7th, it’s Standard Chartered Marathon and on the 8th, it’s a public hoilday. Do I really need to be part of the mad crowd on a public holiday at a book sale?

… I really, really want to go and see for myself, will there be any good catch.

Saw Joseph and Galdwin, both of whom are Cuiling’s Taekwando friends. They’ll be running the full marathon too. After the race pack collection, the other 2 suggested to go Popeye’s Chicken @ Changi Airport. I’d my reserve as it’s getting late, going to Changi for dinner, and then going all the way back to Bukit Panjang be like the ’sian-est’ thing.

However Cuiling told me, “It’s just a stop away!” Which got me thinking ( that bitch ) ‘Yar! Since I’m already here, might as well!’ and so the 4 of us go on a ‘Carbo-loading’ mission.

Before I forget, I actually bumped in to Xiu Ying, my platoon-mates from Mohawk. The whole is just so small. She’ll be running the full marathon too.

And of course, KFC’s chicken is still the best, the Crispy flavor, I’m refering to. For Popeye’s Chicken, it’s more of  juicier and healthier? Tastier wise, still KFC. I go for Cai Jun fries ( tasty)for my sides  and add on a large mashed potato ( yummy ). The serving is quite big for $3.

By the time we got out of there and reached Newton for a change of bus, it’s already 1130pm. Thankfully, there’s still a last bus.

Can’t wait for the run on Sunday, I shall have pasta for dinner tml and get ample rest~

Stand Chart ‘ 08! Here I come~

M.J called yesterday, and jio-ed Mambo Night @ Zouk on the 10th.

Ivy told me today that she has tickets to Zouk out  on the 13th. And that, ” I only told you and Ashley! I’ll see whether I can get another one from my friend!”

I told her that she’s a traitor of M1, coz if I ain’t wrong, Zouk Out’08 is brought to us by Singtel and of course, Zouk, itself.

Christmas is coming = an end of another year. To celebrate the X-mas season, Ashley brought a Ty beanie babies to work. It’s a X-mas special. Ty Beanie Babies, how memorable, I have quite a handful of those in my cupboard. When I make the annoucement of my collection, I quickly added on, “I’m just a very sensitive guy!”

And that got Ashley laughing. It’s a way of saying, “Yar! I know what you think, but no, I ain’t gay!” Muahaha… Anyway, I will be bringing one of my beanies to work tml. Ashley was quite happy about it, saying that “We can make them talk to each other!”

… I’m so not doing that! That’s sensationally mad. Lolz

I need to sleep early tonight. Haven’t had a good night sleep for quite some time already. Last night was one of the worse, I woke up once every 2 hours for a pee. Must be that darn Pokka Premium Milk Tea which I drank before bed. Idiotic choice! Will have to ban myself from drinking tea before bed.

Be meeting up with Cuiling tml. Ever since her exams, I haven’t seen her. We’ll be going down to Expo to collect our Race Pack for this Sunday Standard Chartered Marathon 2008. Looking forward to complete my 2nd Marathon~

And Zouk is really open on Monday Night. I saw it with my own eyes last night. I still can’t believe that people will actually go clubbing on a Monday Night. Perharps it’s only open because of the private event, which I know later that it’s co-organised by student committe ( or something) of 4 different JCs.

… Yar! You heard me! JCs! The crowd is damn young, with the youngest at 16. I almost fainted when I got there, but still had to keep my promise to my SISPEC buddy, Yong Jie.

He was kind enough to give me a ride there, which we later got lost and ended up in Geylang first, before proceeding there again, with the aid of Street Directory.

I haven’t seen Y.J for like 2 years already. Thankfully our reunion wasn’t a dramatic one! You know? A cliche hug, with tears of joy and saying ‘Look at you! Oh My! Look at you!’ Yes! Those kind! It’s a very brief ‘Long time no see’ from me.

Thanks to whoever who ‘invented’ Short Message Service! He’s one of those friends that I still keep in touch with over SMS-es. Updating each other with details of our life, and making plans to meet up, which usually don’t happen. Haha…

I was complaining to Ashley over SMS-es that how I felt like a Lamp Post, sitting at the back of the car. Lamp post meaning an extra, to accompany your friend on a so-called date, and if the female lead was to give him the cold shoulder, at least there’s a YOU to provide him with warmth. Had been a long time since I last played a role of a Lamp Post. ( The last was Wei Long and Chew Li) Never came across to my mind that I’ll still be one at the age of 24+. Now how sad is life? Haha…

 It’s damn empty when we reached there at around 11pm? I was given a tag to wear around my wrist, some sort of a ‘lisence’ to drink alcohol. And after like such a long time, the bouncer actually checked my NRIC before allowing me entry. At the age of 16, it can be a fucking drag when you are being asked for ‘IC please!’ Chances of you getting entry to whatever U18 or U21 place, is close to zero. ( I’m still proud of myself for successfully sneaking into Genting Casino at the age of 16! However when I tried to sneak in at the age of 20, I FAILED! ) However, when you are being ask for ‘IC please’ at the age of after 21, which in my case a 24+, it’s considered an honour! To be able to still look like a youngster despite your age * Vomit*

The music wasn’t that great at the beginning, so we found seats to get comfy with. I noticed that those youngsters were drinking from plastic cups. How Unglam! I later found out that they were actually drinking non-alcoholic beverages, due to underage. We only hit the dance floor much later, that’s was like after chatting for 30 minutes. Sean Kingston ‘Me Love’ was the cue to start shaking.

Because Y.J. was driving, therefore, he didn’t drink. His friend and I played Finger Guessing game, to finish that jug of Vodka Orange, during our drinking break. Almost 3/4 of the jug was drank by his friend. Happy Days~ After which, we hit the dance floor again, for the 2nd time.

I didn’t really enjoy dancing, because my usual chiong kakis ain’t there. I mean, you just don’t dance/grind with strangers, do you? Not unless you are a bastard! And like I say the crowd was damn young. Some of them were like ‘It’s my first clubbing trip!’ and a group looked like they had just cursed ‘Chee-Bye’ for the first time. -_-”

The agony ended at around 2 am plus. Y.J’s friend decided that it was time to leave. We then went to Wan Dou Sek in Geylang for supper. Y.J’s friend decided to rest in the car coz a) still high from the Vodka Orange and b) “I don’t eat supper! Don’t want to get fat!”

As usual, I’d my favorite Century Egg with Pork Porridge and Char Siew Bun. We reminisced those traning days in SISPEC.

The field camp ‘Nutcracker’ was the most memorable. We were being fucked early in the morning at around 4am plus during one of the days, I supposed, and had to do Rifle PT. Mind you, I was holding on the a S.A.W which is very heavy. I had to hold the tip of the rifle with my arm outstretched. That almost killed me, or rather my arm. Still, with Army, the most memorable thing is always how you managed to get away with it, without being caught. Still holding the rifle by it’s tip, I retracted my arm and rested my elbow on the S.B.O which I’m wearing when my SGT isn’t looking, and when he’s looking, I extended my arm again. I threw in a look of unbearable pain, for the effect. Haha… How I miss those Army Days~

And because we had to go outfield every other day, the number of uniform which we had, wasn’t enough to covered that. We had to wash our uniform, by hand, in the evening. To save some of our strength for better things, when to comes to twisting the wet uniform dry, Y.J and I will take an end of our uniforms each, and twist in the opposite direction. We’ll always make it a point to wach our uniforms together, so that there’s someone to talk to! To kill time! Who loves washing uniforms/clothings! I honestly, have yet to know someone with THAT fetish. Team Work, works wonder!

Since he be gving me a lift home, I felt obligated to foot the bill. I declined his offer to split it, and feeling embarrassed, he said, “Next time!”

The same old sacarstic me had to say, ” Yar~ That’ll be like a year later!” I mean, this is afterall,  our first meet up after close to 2 years. I’m not surprised if our next one be a year later. Haha…

I shouldn’t had gone for a swim on Sunday evening, not especially when during the school holiday periods. The pool was full of people. Worse, there were 2 group of swimming classes going on at the same time, one at each end of the pool. I’d a hard time trying to swim, undisturbed. By the 12th lap, I decided that enough is enough, I exited the pool, making a mental note, not to go on a Sunday school holiday evening again.

After my dinner at a nearby hawker, I received a call from my mum, asking me whether will I be interested to join the others for a trip to Marina Barrage. I told her no, and I’d already been or rather ran there before. Some of the running route was ‘covered’ in Marina Barrage.

However, just as I alighted from Bus 180 at Bukit Panjang Interchage, Small Aunt called and asked me to join again, saying that Small Uncle’s lorry is now below my home, waiting to pick my mother up.

And I went~

Sitting behind the lorry. Had been a long time since I last took a ride at the back of a lorry. It’s an amazing experience. Look straight and feel the wind blowing against your face. The wind gets even cooler when the lorry was going at 80 km/hr on the expressway.

I was blown away by this water feature design. I heard from my Uncle that this is the Water Playground, that’s why there are lot’s of people with their feet in the water everywhere. Haha.. When we reached, I had to run after my 2 year old cousin, Ian, as he’s sprinting towards the Water Playground. And of course, he’s the first one to get wet. Kids~~

Don’t you just envy kids sometimes? Stressless life, eat + sleep and having fun at every possible chance. I love this picture. By the way, this is Ian, the baby of Tan’s Family.

Vivian, Me and Gim Li.

Alone. Just have to take one with my favorite feature, else I won’t ‘leave in peace’.

The real ‘motive’ of this trip is to celebrate Isaac’s birthday. The wind is like so strong can? We had the hardest time, lighting up the candles.

Using the towel as a shield, to block the wind. That’s how pathetic and desperate we were. Haha

Getting all-wet. Vivian and I going for the cocky-look.

Too much Martial Arts show. It’s actually felt good. The water falling over your head and you meditate.

And I slept like a log after I reached home. Lolz…

Had a chat with Frank Oh ( that slut ) via MSN. Seems like my emo nick caught his attention ‘在我心上用力的开一枪..’ , he asked , ‘Still the same old issue?’

Well, it’ll be kind of fuck up to lie to a good friend, so I came clean. He told me to get over it, and that ‘you still have me!’

Is that what we call ‘Right kind of consolation in a wrong way?’

Anyway, that future lawyer is still buried under notes/books, preparing for his last paper. After that, it’s meetup time. Jordan ( which Lubin had gave him the title of ‘C.S.M’ = Company Shortest Man, for being the shortest in the whole company ) is still searching for his ONE ring in China, and won’t be back till the 6th. I’m hoping that he can make it on the 7th, as Lubin, Desmond and Frank had given me the nod.

God! It’s always such a headache to plan a get-together, still, some friends are worth the ‘headache’.

Back to catching up with Frank, I asked him whether does lawyers nowadays still have to wear that blonde curly wig? You know? Those kinds which we will always see them wearing in Hong Kong drama series, and we will find ourself thinking, ‘Is there really a need to wear that hideous thing?’ Yes! Those kind.

He gave a full caps reply, ‘NO LAH!’ and that if he is to wear one, he’ll die laughing. Well, I for one, will confirm wet my pants with laughter. That slut has always been the Mr Metrosexual of our group, I seriously can’t imagine him wearing that, it’ll be kind of a drag thingy to do.

And he went on to ask me when is the ‘meet up’ date of ours as he will have to book a day to fail his IPPT. Reason being? He’s too fat to even secure a pass now. I’m like, ‘How fat can you get?’ Because the equation Frank + Fat = Im-fucking-possible. Gain a few Kilos, maybe but to have a double chin? Hah~
