Cousin's 21st Birthday celebrations

Last wk went to yiyu's 21st birthday party. Pretty expensive chalet she rented juz to invite all her friends and family. Nice playing with the little kiddos there.(rachael,lydia, luke). Anyway will update the photos soon. Food was great! catered by Jack's steak house. Bdae Cake was even better. haha.

A quick post

Going to meet up with the gang to see comec exhibition. Man...shld be great however the crowd shld be huge. (heee....pretty gals to look at!!!) Sigh...shld show more control. haha.

Hoping to get a MP3 player. There goes at least more than 80% of my pay this month! but hey! pay day's abt a wk away and i might as well give myself a treat once in a while.

Most likely will bump into friends from either JC or sec sch there, can't be helped i guess.

OK time check: finished typing in 2 mins. Plenty of time to spare. So ciao! cya!

September!

September soon. The month of many birthdays including MINE!!!!! *so fork out the presents pals!* haha. But knowing my dear 'friends' i will probably get nothing as USUAL! *cheap skates*

Blah...don't know why i bother getting gifts for pple anyway. Just realised i'ven't met up with my best friend yet for another few months..sigh..must get together for a pool game soon.

small note: saw this hot gal, some eurasian i think, on the bus today. haha...too bad she's too young, sec 4 brat! haha.

The as usual 1 week late post

noticed most of the stuff i post are at least 1-2 weeks after the event/happening.

so here's the latest 1 week late post

a) passed my ATP! Victor is a SAR 21 trained idiot~! No ATP hahaha!
b) Bad thing was i slept half of my saturday after the ATP..sheesh! that's wat happens when u get 2hrs sleep only out of 2.5 days. zzz...

c) oh ya...excused guard duty till jan 06 by SAF medical board! One of my long term goals in SAF completed.

d) Abt 7.5 more months to GO!!! Btw, have i mentioned i've 2 understudies? This is really really bad...hitting the ord mood too early..

besides that an uneventful wkend. Haven't thought of what to get Hx for his birthday....only 2 days away...Sigh. Maybe next time i will treat him to a meal or something.

Dinner time...so got to eat.

Temper Temper...

OK got all my little weapons of diplomacy rdy for the little show down on monday. Checked with SAF hotline. Only thing left is to talk with Chief Clerk b4 going for the showdown.

anyway fyi. Information below a) - c) is obtained from SAF Hotline.

a) as long as leave does not intervere with unit's operations or cause a shortage of manpower, u can apply for leave. There are NO directives stating how long or short your leave can be.

b) There's no such thing as being worthy or unworthy of ur leave BECAUSE leave= ENTITLEMENT not a privilege, unlike an OFF.

c) Do not hesistate to complain to a higher authority.

Besides that i've checked with the leave handbook from G1 Army Website and there's no reference to such rejection of leave for such reasons such as being unworthy.

Sigh...never thought i would've to resort to such tactics. Of course it can easily result to me being marked by my 'dear' S1. Then again he shldn't have throw his bloody rank ard so much and write such unreasonable and unsupportable mail. Idiot... haha...can just imagine the ruckus Alvin would've made if such a thing had happened to him the last time.

i must remember to keep my temper and speak in a damm logical and even tone. Afterall dun want to really become the 'unworthy of taking such a long weekend' personnel right?

KNN CCB X2

On leave today.possible case of flu once more. Received some news this morning after i woke up late...MY LEAVE ON 22 SEPT REJECTED! there goes my combi of 22, 23,24,25,26 LONG WEEKEND!

Usually i wouldn't mind but the reason my new fucked up S1 provided was damm fucked!

a) Said i had leave on 25/26th.(fri,monday) so can't apply on thursday (22th). (fuck u S1, my leave is how i want it to be planned)

b) Might have shortage of manpower (again fuck u. I've checked and i'm the only person going on lve that day)

c) Something about what the Leave not being earnt and i better arrange other days if not see the rest being burnt.(AFU, leave= entitlement. U have no right to reject it on such a fucking basis!)

Maybe i shld've joined CMRC....a) avoid all normah's lousy work/incomplete work b) avoid having such a blooody s1. Knn...

Well guess Monday is the day i go confront him then. Must remember not to lose my anger..use logic. Curse him.

Stuff

I know....victor once again long time never post...so sue me! I wonder how long since i've posted....

Anyway nothing much happened over the wkend/s, besides the usual bb, lan and hanging out here and there. Oh ya...met up with cecilia (sissy jupes) after her work and had dinner. Not that bad.

Work/Amry: still the same old shit. I miss the gd old days..at least i worked not only because i was told to but my superiors were worth working for. Now...the CC is ok. (but not as good as eric...haha!), but besides that? the officers mainly sux lah except for S3. That one bo pian, like or dun like also too used to his style liao.

What's with my attitude man? too early for ord mood. Every job now is no longer filled with excitement? achievement? It's juz worthless junk! To hell with the army!

Sunday 17th Jul 2005

So far it's been quite a boring day....Sigh! Bro went for a holiday till wed = whole room to myself till then.

Going off to plaza sing later to meet up with my jc's CCA's pple for a 'reunion'. BLubber....a bit of a waste of time. If hx's wasn't going..i probably wouldn;t go. But since i've also nothing better to do on a Sunday, might as well go there and say hi.

On a brighter note, on leave tomorrow! long weekend. Then again...also nothing to do. Maybe i will go see a movie alone, maybe Batman Begins or something.

Another week come and gone.
Count down to ORD= 9 months and 8 days

Err...Sup?

Completely zonked out. Fever's pretty high from the way i'm feeling. Saw the doc (outside clinic of course) and got 2 days mc.

shld have done it sooner and not gone to work today and pumped myself with panadol and cheap flu medicine from SAF....*rolls eyes at own stupidity*. As if anyone in camp appreciates me going to work while sick.

Oh well...have to sleep on the sofa so i wouldn't infect my bro...

Somebody juz shoot me....

Plagiarise!

Got this from Jaron's site. It's an old post but oh well..i like it.

7 stages of our life

1.SHOPPING MATH:
* A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs
* A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.

2.GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS:
* A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

* A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

* A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

* A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

3.HAPPINESS:
* To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.

* To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

4.LONGEVITY:
* Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

5.PROPENSITY TO CHANGE:
* A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't

* A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

6.DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE:
* A woman has the last word in any argument.

* Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

7.HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED:

* Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals

Monday Blues and flu

Damm...seems like i'm down with the flu. Once more my faith in SAF MO's sink down to the pits. "oh, i think u are down with a cold, let me give u flu medicine....", "If got fever, come see me again." *later on when i had a slight fever of 37.5- 37.7,----------> "oh, if fever's not above 38.0, MO wouldn't see u----> told by one of the medics.... *given light duties x2 days*

I seriously think the only way to get a MC from the MO is only when u r 70% dying.

I feel weak...weak weak...

Conclusion

There! So that's what happened for my weekend. Overall rating: 11/10. haha. Oh ya...for those who are wondering...yes that was my prom night suit. Sometimes just can't wearing it. SO HOT wearing it! ( as in u know hot weather..but...ya i also know i look good wearing it!) haha...*thick skin*

Saw a few celebrities at zouk, fonie xie, benedict goh and some chnl 8 actress..*yawns* nothing much. Didn't see any of my friends there though..pity.

Off to sleep i go, so cya pple next time.

Family photo with bride and groom.  

Little Micky...so cute in her little dress.  

Wedding Reception group (from right) - My bro, Yiyu, Mark and I 

Wedding, Wedding Dinner and Zouk!

Quite a busy saturday I've had. Lina's wedding! Another cousin married off. Sigh...

Being a receptionist wasn't easy. But hey..had lots of fun during the dinner and night clubbing at zouk. I think i'm skipping here and there, so let's start from the beginning.

a) Lina's wedding. Bro, cousins and I= receptionists. Wedding was kind of toned down....rushed would be the word. Lina of course looked 100% great! It was there that Yiyu decided why not all the cousins including Ben,Amy ( yes..they came down from UK again) go to zouk. Everyone agreed :)

b) *jumps to the dinner part* Man....3hrs at a table just for a 10 course meal...LONG! If..no no no...WHEN i get married, i will make sure my wedding dinner will be faster. Anyway, fun talking to all the cousins, making jokes etc etc. Andy caused quite a scene when he came straight from NDP rehearsal wearing his uniform. He looked damm smart.

c) After dinner= Zouk! Went to zouk! Andy and my bro drove there. Aunt Yen was juz drunk. Hey...she was in such a good mood(even though she was drunk), she paid for ALL our tickets to Zouk. Cool huh? We cousins had fun. Dancing, drinking,talking cock. Man...i became slightly intoxicated. Low alcohol tolerence lvl. Haha. Yiyu takes after Uncle Richard. When most of our faces were red and hot(lousy drinkers we are), her's was cold and she wasn't even dizzy.

Mark's dance is err..pretty cool. Fast and cool. Sigh...we shld all have more outings like these, even though i could do w/o the drunk part.

Posting pictures soon.

10 mnths and 3 days to ORD

Sheesh what a long time to go.

anyway managed to read finish my friend's Angels & Demons by Dan Brown by speed reading it through the lunch breaks. Superb book, even though i'm sure i missed a part here and there because of lack of time. Bleh....good books shld be read slowly....ah well...maybe next time i will buy the book.

Also managed to finished the Forgotten Realms: Dark Elf Trilogy. Nice reading of the life of a Drow. Of course i'm sure most of u wouldn't understand since it's mostly D &D (dungeons and Dragons) stuff.

Sigh...now have to think of a WITS project by friday. How irritating army life can be.

I like this

Got this from a mail from a sec sch friend. Love the message it brings.

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question. "When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. "I believe, that when a child like Shay comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child." Then he told the following story: Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and, getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three In the top of! the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat

At this juncture, let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher took the ball and turned and threw the ball on a high arc to right field, far beyond the reach of the first baseman.

Everyone started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to second!" By the time Shay rounded first base, the right fielder had the ball. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward second base as the runners! ahead of him deliriously circled the bases toward home. Shay reached second base, the opposing shortstop ran to him, turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third!"

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams were screaming, "Shay, run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the "grand slam" and won the game for his team. "That day," said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world."

Very Suay

Today john ming enlisted at Tekong! hahaha....REC Lau...that would be funny. Within the next few months, everyone poly male friend would be enlisting! haha...

Man..need to brush up on my chinese! Even made the old uncle at NP frustrated when i tried to order my drinks speaking chinese. wo the hua yi shi hen cha de.

Third item for today. I swear that getting a simple date is like asking for a miracle. If i ever *hopefully i would* get one, i think i would go buy toto or 4D. Even the place i wanted to take someone to closed down on me!!!ARGH! Guess i doomed to remain in the Bachelor Club for a while more.

random thoughts

we see pple suffering from poverty all ard the world. Then we see all those bloody overly paid sports stars , especially soccer stars,who own mansions etc etc etc. Has anyone ever wondered, what if each of these stars donated 10% of their wealth? or heck..how abt $100,000 each?

Think of the amt of wealth that can accomplish... selfish bastards...especially if u consider those soccer stars who spend it on frivolous items..

Times flies once again

Sheesh...another long lapse non- blogging period. So let's keep things short and sweet

a) BRC the week before was superb. 5 days of slacking, sleeping and hanging out with jaron and larry. They make great pals.

b) hah! got my off for mon and tues!

c) watching a great series of the nba playoffs with the suns vs the spurs! Can tell you, this would be far better than any other playoff series left in the playoffs.

d) spent a lot of money...unnecessary too, Sigh...

e) Shld hanging out with the same old gang..nothing much, nothing new...haha. Still the same old bball, lan and eating.

f) Finally going all out with my driving! It's like a drug,once u start, u can't stop. The thrill, fun...great. Even though i find it kind of tiring and a good way for money to flow out of my pocket.

Nothing else to say. Cya

The Darkness

Darkness...It warps around you, encasing you in a prison of despair and torment. Feeds you. Feed on it. When one emerges, who is the person one sees in the mirror? Tainted and foul or still the same fool as before?

I know...this is so not like me. But couldn't help it.

Why me?

couldn't think of a better title. so sue me.

2molo attending the complex security meeting since someone's on course. So sian. Haha...how does this sound? Set up meeting room by 0830, make sure laptop's connected, screen prepared, drinks indented. Take down mins (assisting RSM), click on the slides at the correct time. Haha...sounds like the times when i was a secretary in G3 br....Those were pretty good times.

But heck...why must thong thong be in the meeting too? *pukes* hopefully he wouldn't come. *fall sick! trip, sprain/break/fracture any part of ur body!* then again...i shouldn't be so bad. I mean it's not his fault he was born ugly and stupid. Shld show pity to such a wretched creature.

*Foolish wretched beast, remain despised and pitiful till the end of your miserable existence!*

Man...do i sound evil and mean? Ya...probably do.

*reflects* I guess pple really do change in the army.

SO very quiet

Now with the bulk of the pple gone, bde is so quiet. almost too quiet. haha...good for sleeping, tat is if i have the chance of course.

Even after almost a week of clearing up her mess, i'm still receving new lumps of complaints from stuff she did b4 i even joined the bde. Angry NSmen, lack of ICT payments, pes E sent letter to attend some exercise etc etc. One thing to say, it sures keeps me on my toes. Teaches me to be like 2000% more organised than her.

can't wait to actually go to SMI for the BRC thingy. 1 week away from office sounds good seeing the junk i'm dealing with now. JARON! LARRY! WAIT FOR ME!!!

Checked my pay slip, knn....why am i still being paid $390 instead of $420??? got promoted eff. date 01 Apr!!!! Where's my backpay??? my money!!!! *sits in Orchard underpass with a little tin can*

Backstabbed Strangled and hung out to dry

Never ever trust your chief clerk if u know she's a totally screwed up, disorganised worthless creature who loves to push the blame to others! Bitch!

*sorry need to rant more, so if u don't like it, get the fuck out of this blog page for today then!*

KNN CCB!!! How the fuck could she or Jasper (more likely her) throw away a BIG ringfile with stuff inside away as junk!!! ARGH! Now how the fuck am i suppose to check on who was served the SAF100???? CB! And stop pushing all the work which u are suppose to do on me and blaming me when deadlines are near! CB! Suddenly it's all my fault for not doing this, that or these. CB, if u weren't so screwed up in doing NRS for the mob, thus forcing me to doing the calling, checking of strength, breakdown of pple excused for 2 bloody weeks, I COULD HAVE DONE ALL THE SHIT WORK OF URS DURING THAT TIME!

Even if i'm a good clerk, (yes i am that ok, at least compared to others in the bde except 1 or 2 pple), I still have my limits. Fucking hell, i'm no machine that can work 24/7. I'm sick of other chief clerks asking me whether you have done this or that, and u saying huh? wat are those? Everytime they say that, my workload increases like siao! BE MORE FUCKING ORGANISED WILL YOU? I

thank god she's being posted out with some other irritants too.

man..relax victor...cool down....

My apologies for the vulgarities here and the rude manner which i'm writing, but really needed to get this off my chest. I'm usually not like this or at least have more self control than now.

Thank You for ur understanding & kindness. Have a nice day. *signs off*

CPL Victor Cheong got Arrowed Once Again

Yup, that's CPL Cheong now! $30 more pay!!!to....*drum roll* $420 bucks!! Too bad no combat pay.

Anyway got arrowed to go PLC for BRC from 16-20 May 05, stay overnight! So JaJa and Larry, hope u guys have space in ur bunks. Do i need to pay rent? haha.

Super suay the way i got arrowed man...Ops WO juz saw me and Hanan at the printer and said, "you two! come here! I've selected u two to stay overnight for the 5 days BRC." Damm..saw him looking ard for pple..shld've stayed in my corner to hide. haha.

well...gtg, time for my driving lessons finally!

FUN FUN FUN!

Really wrecky day in camp! Basically everyone juz laughing their guts out playing PS2, most notably Dragonball 3 game and Winning Elven. HAHAHAHA.

oh man...my CC is going to kill me tomorrow for not doing the work she assigned me...
oh well, tough luck i guess."Hazards of a clerk's life" haha. The gang will kill me if they hear that.


oh man...2molo's my 1st driving practical lesson. Knowing the lack of sleep i'm going to get tonight...hopefully i wouldn't make too many groggy mistakes. 1st Impressions do count.

Also saw Jie Wei today in camp. Poor guy, doing guard duty. sad. Invited him to come to the office to relax, but too bad he's not doing any prowling for the day.

Events/stuff to do coming within in the next 2 weeks
1. Mother's Day
2. Mom's birthday
3. Class gathering (Bummer, what food shld i buy?)
4. Buy new graphics card

Conclusion: Victor is going to be very very poor since all these stuffs involve me spending at least min* 25 bucks. More like it's going to cost me my whole month's salary. It's well worth spent.

May 2nd

Happy Holiday! Hope everyone is merrily slacking at home! Anyway, stuck in camp overnight today. At least managed to bring in my PS2 and games to entertain the NSmen and myself and my partner.

Checklist for entertainment: PS2 & CO,book,cds,tv = all checked!

Not that bad staying in camp today. It's pretty good way to save money and i get a day off too for just sitting around and doing nothing much.

Less than 1 yr left or NSF life left! 358 days to be exact! HAHAHAHAHA! The smell of the ORD date is getting stronger....

So far i've been unsuccessful at my attempts at a certain objective. Nvm, must have persistence. Hopefully i will be successful. *QUOTE from ROCK LEE:"IN THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH!!!!"

Haha. oh well...back to slacking..wonder whether it's my turn to play winning eleven yet.

Adios Amigoes!

Wed!

and i'm stucked in camp. using the i-net comp now. waiting for my bloody turn to use msn on the laptop. And this stupid screen is as usual vibrating ever slightly. Damm....this is irritating on the eyes.

btw, i'm also hungry. Don't know what type of logic this indenting of night snacks is. 6 NSmen, 2 NSFs and 1 Duty officer. How many snacks we indent, 6 instant cup noodles and small little palm sized cup cakes each. Knn...at least indent more of the small little tarts/cakes lah! Logistics like these juz leave me full of 'admiration' of the army.

Thank god the next one is many months from now.

One of my associates, not friend, in camp ask whether i was a Christian. This's not the 1st time pple have asked me that qn. I wonder why? Do i have the christian look on my face, if there's even such a description. Maybe i don't swear and curse all the time. btw, i'm a FREE THINKER..even though i believe more in Christanity.

ok..time to get my msn now. that bugger's limit is up. MY TURN!

thurs fri...

way way tired man.
a)woke up at 5.25am this morning because had to in pro NSmen at 730 in camp.
b) have a darn bad cold/blocked nose to boost. must be the hip cups i had yesterday. Had the hips at 11am...lasted all the way until b4 i slept at 1030pm, now i've a sore throat....knn.
c) been working OT for the last week.

Conclusion: knowing my own body, have this bad feeling i'm going to be sick if i'm not careful. There goes my plans for today/maybe for the whole weekend too.

well...an early night today i guess. Oh joy...back to work tomorrow to do the NRS because my CC doesn't know how to use excel well enuff. while other NSFs would be at home sleeping because they've better CCs. *doubtful abt the G1 clerk turn CC though*

Grr...

wanted to blog another entry but got a splitting headache. Going to burst...need to SCREAM!but must still...blog...too bored...

Anyway drew 2 days of duty during mob. not that bad i suppose. It's juz staying back to slack...

* must remember to bk tickets for Star wars eps 3.

SAF...psst...

U know...if Singapore does go to war..it wouldn't be the inexperience of our troops, or lousy leadership that will cause our soldiers to be defeated? It would be the @#@(#*!(*#!*(!!! lousy comps which the SAF is infested in.
"Sir, Sir, enemy detected...oh wait, comp's jammed AGAIN sir. OR 2) Say...wasn't this yesterday's data...wtf's going on??"

They are pentium II comp..which have been used for like god knows how many yrs. btw..do u know the printer also jammed on me like 3 times too?

Bloody comp jammed 6 times today!!! 1st day of mob manning too..can't bear to even think of wat will happen in the next 13 days. *shudders*

man...even the my comp in G3 Br never jammed so many times on me in a day. Besides the @#*#&!*(#!*(#& simultaneous lockup junk. That wasn't that bad also..at least i could rest for 15mins. haha...unless it's the more serious lockup where only those pple in SMC can fix it.

Friends...

Met up with boyan and ulric today. Played pool with boyan in the morning. That's the good things with best buddies, u can don't meet up for like 8 months and the next time u meet, it's like nothing ever happened. There's no changes in the friendship, nothing. Fun playing pool, had some superb tyco shots. haha. (found out Zixiang's a clerk, downgraded from commando...,darryl's also a clerk, eujin ord alrdy and flew back to Australia to further his studies)

Always thought it strange that eujin actually went through NS even though he's a malaysian. I mean heck, he sure doesn't need the cash. But it seems that he thought it will be easier to find a job when it states he has served NS. Nice one friend.

Ulric...still the same old hairdo, looks. It's like the same old person from JC. Met at serene centre. Too bad they didn't have AOA(age of apocalyse) book 2 out yet. Passed him the poster and juz normal chit chats. Is it me or are the clerks in other Units besides maju camp juz slacking ard, surfing net and waiting for knock off time?

Next week's mob manning time. *yawns* 2 weeks of irritation.

Busy busy busy

went to Sim lim square this weekend ALONE which wasn't that bad. besides missing the stop and walking some distance in the rain. So decided to get the Nvidia 6600 GT graphics card which will cost $338. Going to buy it abt 2 weeks time after my bro's exams are over. Wouldn;t want to distract with the games we will be able to play with this new graphics card. Also decided to upgrade our ram by another 512 DDR Kingston Ram. $93. Lucky my bro is also chipping in to foot the bill or else that would be more than my month's allowance.

Of course to *some* pple, $431 is not even a month's allowance, more like 3/4. But then again, they do more stuff, stay in etc, so i'm not *that* envious.

Needless to say, have to draw on my little stash of cash to help tide me over. Thank goodness i don't spend much most of the time.

No luck

My luck almost always fails in certain aspects in my life. Sigh!

I suppose even if i have only 1% chance, i still have to try. Must have hope.

anyway, i hate all the bloody spam in hotmail. Sheesh! Come to think of it...y do i even have email accts? I mean no one has like messaged me for eons except for surveys, and neither do i send mail out to others. Last i sent out any mail was like a yr ago. With no reply anyway.

Observation of Office life in the Bde:
1) Pple are slackers there.
2) I cannot stand a certain G1 female clerk posted there! *G1 br pple shld know her* Sometimes she's so ARGH! irritating that i feel like slapping her and ask her to wake up her bloody idea.
3) I think with a few exceptions, i would mostly ignore these NSFs in my Bde after i ord. Can't stand them
4) Reluctance to help pple overridden by natural survival instinct to aviod getting tekan by superiors who care only abt results

Conclusion: Can't wait to ORD.

Going poor..broke...gone!

May is going going to be a very poor month for me

a) BIGGEST DRAIN= my mom's birthday. of course i would spend my money w/o hesitation even if it costs Heck..it's my mom man!

b) Buying a new graphics card + ram for the comp. Luckily my bro is helping me to foot half the bill. Hey..he uses the comp too

c) Driving...enuff said..this is going to make me broke for the next 3-4 months

Bo money liao.

ORD countdown

since mr jaron ng is so particular abt my exact ord count down date, i will calculate roughly the amt of WORKING days i've left.

ORD = 25 Apr 05
current date = 11 Apr 05

total days= 1yr 14 days= 365+14= 379 days...to make it easier let's juz say i've 1 yr left= 365 days

1yr= 52 wks. 1 week have 2 weekends, so 52 x 2= 104 days which i dun have to work. maybe abt 10 -12 days of public holidays until i ORD?

so abt 104+ 12= max of 116 days

365- 116= 249 working days left

currently have 27 days worth of leave. by the time i ord, maybe abt 40? 42 days.

249 -42= 207 working days.

Let's say i super suay, kana a hell of a lot more guard duties, or maybe *most likely* involved in NDP, add another 40 days (burnt weekends)?

altogether abt 247 working days then

there..satisfied now JARON? sheesh...so much trouble juz to appease u...bugger.

Things to do

Things to do in the next few months

1. get my driving license. Going to go like 4 times a week man!. Ed! watch out! i'm going to catch up with u! *looks at the dent in my baulnk acct.* Well..ok..for now my mom's paying. But i don't feel good abt tat, since after all it's my own license. So i will pay her back.

2. get excused more guard duty! haha...if can't also nvm

3. Meet up with boyan to catch with after so many months

4. Get my ankle back to 100%.

Movies!

I want to watch movies! Missed out on some good ones when i was injured. Bleh!

1. Star Wars Eps 3: oh yea...even though i don't like the 1st 2 eps, old habits die hard, i was a die hard star wars fan!

2. Fantastic 4: Marvel productions. Enuff said.

3. Sin City: heard it's a real good movie. But checked the various cinemas. Seems like it's coming out in may even though it's out in the US in 15 Apr?? have to check further.

I wish they had a transformers movie. haha! oh yea..they had one (looks at the DVD disc bought from HMV on the shelf), ok then, i want another one!

Look on the bright side of life..

New S1 came in. Interesting how small the world can be since it's a person who was in the same platoon as hongxin. Since hx speaks well of him and maybe from my own gut feeling, he seems like a pretty good person. Eitherway, hx is a pretty good judge of pple. As he says Victor= fucker! haha. Might be true from certain angles u know.


Anyway, decided to adopt a more positive outlook on life. Enuff bitching abt the army, guard duties and thong thong. If/ most likely he wants to give me more duties, let him then! 2,3 heck even 8 or 12, I don't give a fucking damm! Same goes with army work! Do, get the job done and be done with it. Like Alvin said to me, once the foot steps out of camp, all work issues are left behind. YA!

No of days b4 ORD = 379 days

*379 bottles of beer left on the wall, 379 bottles of beer left on the wall, knock one down and 378 bottles of beer on the wall*

ok...going crazy. Need a packet of sweets....

Back to work

CMI....come back straight away mountain pile of work to be done. Bua ta han! Do ippt reminders, get hounded by ah thong over guard duty. See bua suay. (not sure abt spelling here)

3rd day come back, ah thong call my hp to say i own him 2 duties. haha...after i told Shal (his MP right hand man) that i got excused a futher 2 months. oh yeah! 4th day i come back, super suay..bump into him at the mess. KNN...i swear he got nothing better to do except hound me abt the 2 duties i 'own' him. oh wait, juz remembered, CMI THONG really got nothing better to do. he only got guard duties to do. How forgetful of me. Any other duty would overload his severely limited brain capacity. Nevermind...i had a great master in chao keng by the name of ALVIN ANG THE GREAT! haha....Must later pull out the stunts knowledge he imparted to me.

Feel like fainting over my workload now. haha...still not used to coming back after such a long break. Stupid mob manning. 490 NSmen to call b4 Dy comes back on thurs. *faints* Thank god it happens only twice a year.

Camp's no longer as fun as last year. All the good pple are ORDING. leaving mostly only the scrums behind. Eric, Alvin, Teck chuan, G1 br pple ( too many idiots to list down), Derek too all left camp. Sigh..

Conclusion: I HATE NSF WORK, LIFE, PAY..anthing else i've forgotten?

good old days

Missing the time i spent in primary/early secondary school with the old group of friends i had. Must be the cool weather which made me think of those times. Isn't strange that such good times should bring such moody thoughts?

Where are my friends from yesteryear now? Eujin, Darryl, Zixiang? The only person whom i still keep in touch is Boyan. Then again, haven't contact him for like 8 months. Last i met any of the rest was like 5-6? years ago.


I still remember the rides we took from Eujin's house(near HCJC) to Jurong Pt. Took 154. Haha...bus rides always took over a hour. I guess we were just so busy catching up that the hour juz flew by. Movies then back to eujin' s house. Those were great memories.

Horny eujin, CMI zixiang and Darryl, great at fencing...haha..i wonder where/ what they are doing now?

*Yawns*

I've forgotten how tiring 1 full day of work can be....*blinks eye* Me tired.

Want more MCs.....*stretches hand out for an imaginary MC slip* ZZz....

EASTER!

yup, easter day. Happy Easter Folks!

back to work tomorrow. Sigh...

Bet i set a record for the number of continuous days of MC any NSF has ever had. *looking pleased*

SATURDAY!

a very very very dull & boring Saturday!
sigh...parents wouldn't allow me to go out because oh little Vicki's leg isn't 100% healed yet.

BUMMER.

Disappointment

Played finished Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 (KOTOR 2). Fucking disappointing! *excuse the vulgarities* Game play was great! But...ending was juz such a letdown. Huge gaping holes in the plot and character development! and WHY? Because Lucas Art decided to cut short a lot of stuff from the game to make it available for Xmas 2004.

Their greediness has literally ruined the GAME! Damm it! Lucky i didn't buy the original. Saved me 40 bucks and i would have probably burst a blood vessel over the ending. Still can't believe they butchered the game juz for profits. WAH! KNN...CCB.

Updates! read all abt it!

wat a lousy title. oh well...anyway the cast is off. Fracture's healed. As expected need to go for physio. MC was extended until thursday = whole week since fri= public holiday! Pretty nice doc. I didn't ask for the MC extension. Must be the reward for all the good deeds i've done. Haha!

No guard duties until the next appt at least 6 weeks time. At least tat's wat the doc told me! YA! Too bad it can't be 6 MONTHS...sigh...still i should be grateful for stuff like these.

Still using the crutches because ankle's still bloody stiff and can't support my weight yet. Bleh!

24 days gone...

lol...my mc expires after tomorrow. Sheesh that was fast. HAHAHA! At least they would remove the cast b4 deciding whether to refit it or not. Sigh...seriously speaking i don't think my cast will come off yet for 2 reasons.

a) Tried turning the leg left/right (hell of a difficult with the cast on) and of course felt that little tiny stab of pain which indicates that the bone's not yet healed.

b) My bro's med friends said fractures usually have a cast on for 6-8 wks...haha....mine's been on for only 4 wks.

Oh well..that sucks! The gang would juz be saying wah liao! Weak lah! Now can't go out etc etc.

Maybe and Maybe I can extend my MC? hahaha. *IF* that happens, it would bring curses from jaron, tinglong, and larry and a lot of other pple.

I hate staying at home. I mean during the weekends. During wkdays? workdays, i don't mind it at all. So now max i would serve in NS would be 2yrs 3 months! haha...thx to the 1 month+ MCs. Man...another month and it doesn't make any difference whether i passed IPPT or not ( which gives another 2 months off from the 2yrs 4months guys like me)

*Slaps himself* Enough fancy day dreams. Must not get my hopes up. But still...haha. *secretly hopes* What a scrum i am.

It's SUNDAY!

Always felt it's good to start off a Sunday on a positive note. Listen to nice happy soothing music etc etc. Well.. going to get a haircut today. Abt time. Havent cut it for like 2 momths...bleh! Getting too thick and hot.

Well..my mom stated something painfully obvious and inevitable i guess. When we grow older,get married (hopefully for me too? haha) contacts with our cousins would drift and ties would no longer be as strong as before. How sad that can that be? Reminds me times 10 yrs back when we would meet up like every week for 6-8 hrs or so playing together at Ah Mah's house. Inseparable cousins.

Sigh...now we meet up only like once a fortnight for only 2-3 hrs. I miss the good old times...but i guess everything had to end. Bleh!

thoughts & more thoughts

sheesh haven't blog for sometime. not as bad as my last few attempts of having a handwritten dairy. Entries were like spaced once every 2-3 yrs. haha.

nothing much to say, but finally getting the review on my leg done on thursday! Phew...hopefully can get it off. Haha..will miss the MCs though. Going to have it out with thong thong when i go back to camp. I don't see y pple like weizhi can excuse duty 1 month and don't have them chalked up, while mine's chalked up. Knn...ccb. I don't accept this sort of shit.

anyway can't believe the latest NBA news. The Kings traded Chris Webber to the 76er's? ....what the heck were they thinking of? they don't have a replacement power forward...Webber wasn't like under-performing or ridden with old age or injuries. Guess i will go support the Spurs. Really like the way Ginobili plays. Then again i've always supported the point guards like John Stockton who juz gives the assists. Players like Duncan or webber, i mean ya they are of course good but...a bit too showy?

I miss going out...the movies..hate being stuck at home. Wah! none of my friends visited me. haha...not that it matters. Got a visit from camp pple, my bde rsm and S1. Probably to see if i'm faking. No..i'm not so negative. I guess u were expecting something like me saying: " so nice of them to drop by etc etc." well..fyi, it's juz army policy since i'm under hospitalisation leave or something like this.

my my...feel so cynical this day...hahaha.

3 more weeks to go..

Think i'm going to go insane at home...or rather the feeling of being trapped at home. I know many pple would think: 'wow..victor super lucky man. 25 days mc...lucky bastard...cb etc etc'

i mean ya...25 days mc...but imprisoned at home + a cast on the leg which is not very comfortable at all. I miss going out with the guys. Lan, basketball, badminton. of course edward complaining because of me no bball now. not enuff pple with me not ard. *as if i want a fractured ankle in the 1st place....idiot...haha.*

of course camp pple especially a super thick idiotic *censored* 2WO chasing me to come back and do guard duty. My camp friends should know his name. Distinctive ringing noise. Bastard. Still say he will accumulate the duties i miss. CB...as if in the past when i do for pple when they never turn up, did i get any compensation? no... CB. Still can tell me i own him 2 and dish out my 2 duty dates for me. *volcanic eruption...cb...*more censored words*. Camp pple dun know anything abt gratitude.

O lvls results are out...micheal got 9 pts from wat i heard. good for him. Then again his family has always done well in studies i guess. Never really mixed much with the Cheong side, since there are hardly any gatherings together unlike the Neo side where they are at least weekly - monthly gatherings. More of a Neo than a Cheong. But relatives are still relatives.

3 more weeks to go. And that doesn't mean the cast will be taken off. They are going to review it. Man...my bro says his friends in med fac in nus says fractures the casts are usually on for 6-8 weeks? mine's like only 4 weeks...Even if it does come off...have to go for therapy for at least another month. Going to grow fat or fatter if this carries on.

At Uncle Richard's house last week. My bro & I after a night of sparklers and magic tricks entertaining the gals.( lydia, Rachael ) 

25 days MC..HAH!

just went to the specialist again yesterday to check the foot for any rash, open wound etc etc. Found out that my skin is slightly allegic? to the cast...hence the bloody itch. haha. Kind Doc gave me 25 days MC! wohoo! so no work until 17 mar.

*i know i know...u buggers reading this are probably insanely jealous* but hey! having a cast is no joke and u know wat? frankly speaking, i don't care abt wat u pple are feeling, be it jealously or watever stuff.

Also got some anti itch medicine. works great....but causes extreme sleepiness. man...i'm going to be fat if this goes on for the month, juz eating and dozing all the time. Sheesh... No basketball! No badminton! No going out!!! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *long scream of despair*

then again.... no guard duty! WOHOO!*great shout of joy*

well..going to do some self improvement these days. no pt wasting the 25 days. haha....let's see whether i can learn jap in those days. haha. Cya folks!

Sian...

oh man...bloody sprain was actually a fracture! yipee...*censored words*

now leg is in a hot, irritating f*cking hard fibreglass cast. sigh...and i've to wear it for a month! *spits blood* Back to work on tuesday. anyone makes a scene abt me having a long mc, *since the sat b4 CNY * (yes...i know it's super long), is so so so going to die. That's if i don't die hopping up to camp 1st.

However i must not look at such negative stuff all the time. There are good pts here ya?

a) No guard duties for the next 1 month at least! haha...
b) err....err...super long mc?

sheesh...now back to waiting until the month's over.

Happy Valentine's Day my friends

Valentine's Day...Blah...spending it at home nursing a still injured leg. went to AH yesterday after seeing Dr Yap. Possible fracture...and they put my leg in a cast...+ 4 days MC! They still say my burst blood vessels at the ankle haven't healed yet....great...

Bad thing? crutches cost 34 bucks!!! When the left leg itch....and i can't scratch it because of the *censored* cast....

Seeing the specialist on thursday since the doc at AH can;t tell from the x-rays whether it's a minor fracture or wat. probably would get more mcs...

can't believe i limped my way ard CNY like this...Then again comparing the pain i endured and the joy of meeting my cousins etc, i would say it was worth it.

Another Val. Day spent as a bachelor! :) haha!

Uncle Bob's house on Thurs. All I can say is that he's one hell of a lucky blackjacket player. Bankrupt almost everyone with his: 'Min $2 bet per game." He literally chased off half the players. Easy to spot him ya? The one besides me in the centre. *robbing his own nephews and nieces*

enuff said  

The Big Day itself! 

Andy & Claire 

Luke looking confused. one Very grumpy baby that night.  

Lydia(the one in red) and Rachael! My 2 cute cousins! Age 6 & 5. Love them! Very caring sisters. They always look out for one another! Very photogenic too. Not shy at all! haha.  

Updated photo. Ben & Amy are the Europeans in the pic. pretty easy to spot ya? Andy's the one in striped shirt, my bro's above me. the rest are claire, simon and lina. Taken at Ah mah's house on wed.  

This pic was taken like 15- 16 yrs ago? Took the pic using my cam. Thank goodness it's quite clear. haha. From Left to right: Ben, Amy, next 2 are Uncle Richard's daughters from his 1st wife, my Brother, Andy and ya..that last little shrimp...tat's me. haha

Wat's Up PPLE?! Happy Chinese New Year

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR FOLKS! *a bit late perhaps*

Had a fantastic CNY. except for one minor irritating inconvenience. Sprained my ankle last Sat playing basketball. That was pain pain pain. More on that another time. Going to post the pics which were taken with some details of course.

*tired*

man....don't feel so good here...over exhaustion after guard duty last night. a) had turn out, b) less sleep than i would like c) guided the bloody *censored* 6 SIR pple for prowling again.

do u know how blur i was after duty today? Mind could only concentrate on one task as shown below

Re-enactment:

Chief clerk N: victor, remember to take the norminal list from the med. centre later on when u collect item (a)

Me: ok mdm. np
(walks there and comes back)

CC: err...where's the list victor?

* me looks blankly at her*: err...wat list? then slowly...ever slowly..my brains start spluttering on again... ' oh..oops, haha...i forgot!' *faints*

haha...this happened not once, twice but thrice!( of course for 3 different lists at diff. time of the day) okok 2.5 times. third time i was halfway back b4 remembering it and had to make a u-turn to get the list.

*curses* can't they show the whole 6 SIR pple the prowling pts in camp??? as in set a day where everyone is shown the pts? id it too much to ask? how long must we carry on playing as guides? Where the *again censored* were they, the officers/pple i/c of the duty stuff, when brains were being passed out? Then again, with such a 'great and intellegent' CSM like ting thiong bell i/c, what is there to expect? i mean even a cow has more brains than him. lousy piece of trash!

1 piece of news though! the KOPI BING is back in the mess! oh sweet coffee, save me! haha. had 1 packet + a mentos to perk myself up.

notice the effort i'm putting in trying to avoid swear words? haha. trying to be more err...refined. haha

feel like puking...better go to bed b4 i collaspe in front of my comp. need to...sleep...shutting down...

Colour me Depressed

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*

OFF!!!

Got over my dark moody bout. anyway yes! tomorrow off! that means no camp until monday! only thing bad is monday another guard duty, which is ok with me. i'm cool with it, too used already i guess. Thinking of getting the ipod shuffle? at $178 it seems pretty cheap. BUT i'm broke! Juz paid up for the comp course ed & i are taking. nice cool $331 gone. that's err...*calculates* 85% of my allowance gone. Sigh...need to save a wee bit more i guess. *grunt*

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.

A very very Lame idea by czy. Our fingers were suppose to put 2005. Bleh..can't even see the '2' haha. 

I look like an idiot in this photo with ivan 

Richard & eddie ward 

The Bachelor's Club NY celebreations at Seoul Garden. 

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!
