Juz spent the whole day doing despatch over Singapore....from 1030am tp 520pm. Actually it's not that bad...but...
a) mini-bus - no aircon, fan spoilt
b) sun was bloody hot. roasting for 6 over hrs in the front seat
c) max speed the bus can go? 50km/h
d) 9 places to go- toa payoh, serangoon, jurong (PLC), china town, bedok etc etc - argh!
also got my duty forecast for next month...cb...one on valentine's day...super suay. was also thinking of taking off that day. nb. at least found a splendid cheating matter. *evil laughter*
sigh...kind of thinking abt something, putting a few pieces of a little puzzle together. and the results are very depressing for me. damm it! curse army life for interrupting my life. curse maju camp for all the duties they threw at the NSFs. dammation.

4hrs
spent 4hrs playing bb today at NP...argh. Tired...now suffering a bloody headache.
at least the weather was perfect, the sun mostly hidden by the clouds from 10 - 1.30 or so. last 1/2 hr was a bit hot.
Saw ivan woo while playing. Very skinny fellow & he smokes! That kind of lowered my impression of him, not that it was very high in the 1st place. Anyway none of us bothered abt him. haha....he still owns ivan? john? some money. Can't stand jerks that dun return things they borrow. low lifes, low morales, scrums.
listening to the various relaxing sound tracks from the final fantasy series. As ever when listening to them, i feel more at ease/peace.
Argh...i'm fat. Think i have a really really slow metabolism rate. Guess i have to tighten my diet and do sit ups as usual. let's see whether i can keep to it.. haha.

Common Misconceptions
I've noticed 2 very common things pple almost always say abt me
1) i look young aka *childish etc etc*
2) i'm rich
1st one...well...i guess i'm guilty as charged. But i am trying to change u know. Then again my bro also faces a similar comment. except he isn't childish. Guess we take after our mother's side. I've noticed that my uncles, aunties, grandma mostly look younger than their true age. blah...sick of bus conductors, 7-11 pple, movie ticket collectors asking to see my IC to check my age!
I juz dun know why pple think i'm rich. I'm juz an average normal *some would argue abt the normal bit* person. not rich, but not poor. I guess they think if my parents own a car, we live in private property = rich?
a) the cars are pretty old....well...1 new 1 old.
b)The house? hasn't been renovated since my parents got it from my grandparents like 20+ yrs ago?
well..i've seen both the poor & rich personally. A few relatives where everyone is bunched up together & a friend who err...lives in a super big house etc etc. So stop saying i'm rich lah! Average! Average! that's all! *bad english here i know!*

Phew!
juz went to the NP open house. Quite a huge scope of stuff presented there. guess i'm too used to JC style where only CCAs are being advertised ard. Anyway, didn't really meet the pple i hoped to see but saw one or 2 here& there. Sigh..
added the err...free chatterbox. hope it works. last one conked out on me. Sheesh, never was good at html stuff.
Going clubbing again....at china black. ed's idea. say wat a NUS bash and he wants to check it out. me thinks he too desperate to look for girls. haha. Then again i guess the same could be said abt me. If not why would i be following him? *laughs*

Contemplative mood part 1
Feel slightly moody & comtemplative today..sigh..
writing a blog reminds me something abt lit concerning paul chow's paper on biography & autobiography. Knowing my friends would read this blog, how many of the stuff here are truly real? Can't really express wat i truly feel, can't scold vulgarities so much *trying to cut down now*. See? Even now i must keep an image of a nice person. haha.
Then again, i really miss schooling. I had friends whose company i mostly enjoyed. Maybe that's why i'm feeling in the slumps now. I mean army is really not a place to widen your social circle. It's the same routine day in and out. Feels like part of my soul is missing? empty?
Of all the friends i had since primary school - JC, it seems to me i'm losing more of them day by day. Primary school - only still in touch with boyan. Seconday school - the best time which i made many friends, many whom i'm still in contact with. JC? I know i'm slowly losing touch with my friends there.
Is it the loneliness that's bugging me? Then again i've always been a loner at times, so why is it bothering me now? The gang & i've always joked abt being bachelors etc etc and getting out of the 'club'. Maybe it's time i got out of my little playing acting personality and grow up more. I tire of it. I mean i'm going to be like 20 this yr man! Can't act the little kid anymore.
Back to camp tomorrow. Damm.

New Unit new rules!
Joined 30 SIB 3 wks back. Everything's so different. hahah..not used to the slacking environment and the bloody office politics. I mean last time up stairs there was enuff work to keep me busy the whole day? ok at least most of the day. Now it's like :' oi! victor, time for break leh! kin! can do the work later.' So far managed to make friends with everyone. Suppose that's a good thing. Now let's see who would be the 1st to backstab me...
more breaks, less work...hmm...wonder how long this can last? Only thing to fear is during alert ambers/mob mannings. Man....the amt of calling & sending of mail to over 400 NSmen is.....err...tiring.
Got 28 days of leave and 3 days of off! ya! must clear 14 days of leave by dec 05. bring it on baby!
i can say jo quek is a slimy chief clerk. She found my hp on the sofa and returned it to me saying: ' victor, lucky this is ur phone. so i will return it to u. if it was anyone else's phone, i would've kept it for another 2-3 more yrs.' *big jap bubble on forehead* Further proof that serving in the army unhinges the human mind.
Wonder how my G1 br friends are doing in PLC. Missed hanging out with u guys. Hard to find such weirdos in camp now. haha.

Richard chronicles
Richard came back from the states! haha! The whole gang went to seoul garden for the eve of NY. Pretty fun! Even though we had to wait 1.5hrs before we had a seat. 7 pple spacing is no joke. Going to post our group picture later. haha...wanted to take one more at Taka...but the battery went dead.
The usual no life of the bachelor's club, we juz went home after dinner. Didn't go for the count down though much to ed's disappointment.
Also went clubbing again on 1st Jan as a form of entertainment for Richie. Crowd was really thinned out. Then again i guess many were too tired from the countdown the day b4. Dance floor had it's 1st dancers only at midnight. Drank tequila for the 1st time. not that bad. Even though the outing was ok lah, the company was great. That's all that matters i guess.
Fast forward to friday - 7th Jan
last day b4 richie returned to the states. decided to have a basketball game. Ivan, ed, richard & i.
as usual..they were late. ARGH! ok lah due to work commitments i guess. i was really really thankful it didn't rain at all even though it was like black clouds and thunder booming here & there. Nice to see richie didn't lose his skills at all during his stay in the US. in fact he got better unlike ed...HAHA!
got challenged by a group of ah bengs who underestimated us big time. haha! was really lucky that night. most of my shots went in. I was marked as the 'shooter'...HAHAHAAHa...almost collapsed laughing when i heard that.
Thanks to ivan & richard for the splendid rebounding. Gave ed & I the confidence to shoot from afar. *Spreading the credit around*
After bb, ate at pizza hut at abt 10 or so. It's good times like these that help me tide over the wall of despair i was feeling for week b4 that. Thank you guys!
