Anything of the same suit can game...

Haha...

Dear Blog,

And Johnson tried teaching KP, Shaun and WK mahjong today. In theory. Shiok. I should get them a "Mahjong for Dummies".

It was a... sight la. A most extraordinary one. Johnson explaining how to game. It's very impressive that he tried.

Ok i am being arrogant here. But i want to play with Johnson, Alvin and JC leh. All not bad one leh. But they were saying 4 specs got caught playing mj in the bunk got 21 days SOL. Imagine playing mj in the office. =p

And siao eh... what is Shi Ba Luo Han? Sounds like something that's impossible to get.

Dear Blog,

Damn... just when i thought i will use the time when this laptop goes into another of its' "reads-and-reads" session to type some stuff here, the session just ends unexpectantly.

It's raining. Not a good sign. Luckily got home before the rain hit me. Finished the book. Love the ending. It just makes you laugh at how the "big fuss" actually leads to nothing.

Bad day in the office.(not that bad actually...) But... not good...

What happens to everyone when a new guy steps into the office? What does everyone think? How does everyone gauge him? What actually is a good or bad worker?

They still can't believe i got that rank. Same for me. I can't work, i can't talk, i can't nothing. So how do i get that? Maybe i've been manipulating minds.

I sense my dear BSS 2IC already knows that i have taken a disliking for him. And worse thing is i am the duty spec this week. Anyway it has came to an end. This morning roll-call brings up the water-cooler and the bridge topic. Both are really gei-zuo... being necessarily unnecessary... seriously... which i see zero sense in...
From the looks and body language of all, i presume everyone feels the same as i do. WK and KP never give "the incompetent one" a single look. Not even when he asked them anything else. Doesn't he realise that? Doesn't he know that we are putting up with him. Zico was saying that day to nominate me for BSS 2IC. Heh... did boost my ego but hell i can't imagine the outcome of BSS. Chaotic.

BUT i dare to say, we will get things done. WHY??? Because we don't have to spend our time doing stupid things like taking down a bridge with our bare hands, or maybe putting up signs to say that the water cooler cannot be drunk because the pipe is SLIGHTLY spoilt, but nevertheless, water still comes out from the waterhole. So what's the big deal??? The big deal is all about "the one that acts busy" covering up his own ass.

Alvin does a very funny impersonation of him at his desk. Arranging stuff. Putting them neatly. Then un-neat them. And then putting them to where they were in the first place.

"The one that tries too hard" came up to me that day... and his key phrase came out... "So anything for me?" I was so tempted to say... like really tempting... "Erm... no i don't think so... Christmas is over... so i don't think i've got anything for you..." But well... i can't bare to see his face's reaction if i have said that.

Area cleaning was supposed to be done today. The first time maybe in hmmm... months?? Come on la... no one does area cleaning there unless it's filthy. And BSS is naturally "slightly" dirty due to its surroundings. So no one did, i didn't encourage that doing either, but since i was away at a seminar, i couldn't see if they did or not. But they didn't, so our dear "clean 2IC" said to clean it half an hour before we fall out. But hell to that yeah.

Army seems more bochup after you go to BSS.

Another issue pops up today. If someone realises his mistake, and he is fully awared of it and feels extremely guilty about it, should he still be punish? Normally, cases of rape, murder and robbery will come into mind, like how even though the criminal is fully remorseful of his mistakes, he still gets punished. So the question is... Is punishment a necessity for every mistakes?

Johnson is the good guy today. Ordered pizza in for the dudes for his bday.

Was observing "The 2IC" today. He... tries very hard... to be everything... but he isn't good enough. He tries to blend in with us... but only fake laughter comes out. Then he implements stupid rules, which only makes us think that he is bui kan. He tries to act all official and more superior-like, but because we know we he really is like, it only adds to our dislike for him.

Enough enough.


Yours,
Lah

Dear Blog,

I feel like i'm hounding her after sending the message. Forcing someone into a corner isn't nice. I shall cease all contact then.

So much for trying to be friends. Anyway she must still think i'm nuts.

Bleeding now from that pimple. And munching on white m&ms... gonna get a sore throat soon if someone doesn't stop me. Was sneezing a bit just now. Need to sleep.

Stock-taking starting. Actually was supposed to start today because those guys came down suddenly, but no one was quite around to show them the stuff. I wonder if they are pissed.

Hopefully we do a good job during stocktaking and get an off or two.

Now reading "What men think about sex". Journal style. About Tim and Rob, the latter being the author. And the name Clare has a whole new meaning. Nice until now.

PS Man hasn't called yet. I miss my PS.

Oh and Shaun's sister is my sister's classmate. Talk about coincidence.

Kum Tong called us all into his office the other day. Had a long long speech about not calling people names and working hand in hand with one another. Then he proceeded to have a 1-to-1 interview with all of us. There goes the whole afternoon. Questions were all about "Jonathan", "Gary" and "Anthony", and some on how BSS is. Well... sometimes, the incompetence of people is a major hindrance in an organisation.

Oh... and i drove for the 1st time... a 7-tonner. The feeling is shiok. But quite scared to lan-ga something. Same like Class 3.

Dear Blog,

I read Tay Yek Keak's article again this morning. What irritates most is his style. That kind of feeling that hits you in the guts like an uncle slurping coffee in the kopitiam. But i think his way of writing is very cool. He should get some award for it.

Speaking of getting awards, there was this commissioning parade at OCS yesterday. Very grand and all the young cadets with nothing on their shoulders became good ol' officers suddenly. But 2 guys didn't quite last it and had to be "moved" off the parade square.

This reminds me of the tiger cup finals. When the physio comes running out, it just makes me wonder how the injured footballer is feeling. You know, like maybe sometimes they are faking it, but if its real, then kudos to the physio if they get well.

Oh and i saw Philene yesterday. She wants to be a physio too. Work hard and you will be rewarded. But i don't like her hairstyle. I shouldn't elaborate or i will sound too much like TYK. He is too straightforward but he's cool. But i don't like him because he makes newspaper reading such an irritated yet entertaining chore.

Maybe i should skip his article each time i see one. Then he might probably become jobless.

But then, who cares whether i read his article or not?

I will be making my way down to the once pirated-polluted Sim Lim. Going to get something that my friend recommended. It is some blue thing that is related to your tooth. But then i see no link in that when you use it with your laptop. And i heard they say this thing travels around in the air, so won't it be harmful just like radiation?

Anyway i don't think i am knowledgeable enought to write like TYK. He knows too many things. Like what size of pants some minister wears, or which country has the biggest bugs, or even how uncool Elektra is and how people always like dance movies.

Lah

Dear Blog,

Sometimes, things pass by so fast that when you heard it, you thought that they are news. But in actual fact everyone knows it 2 months earlier than you.

Hmmm... maybe things didn't pass by so quickly.

I remember Gary Chen saying this once... "When you think it's fast... you yourself are slow..."


Yours,
Lah

Dear Blog,

What a good 2 days... past by too quickly but they were great. Nevermind la... 3 more days of break before heading back to camp for stocktaking.

It was a little disappointing at ChinaBlack last night. But we didn't even get in... so what's there to be disappointed about. Anyway, it's Chris' 1st time organising this kind of stuff so it's forgiveable. Dinner at Geylang was... haha... an eye-opener. Everyone turned up... but i took a wrong turn... experienced some stuff with some "quay"... haha everytime think of quay then i will remember Zico and his Siam Quay...

So is "Siam" pronounced as "Siam" as in Mee-Siam or "Sai-yam"?

Anyway... today's mj... alright la... surprised i could actually recoup after losing... but wf's luck damn down la... i experienced that before so it's kind of sian la.

Time's passing too fast. 22nd le...

Oh saw di at the bus stop... but she didn't get on the bus... hmmm i wonder why... think she's taking no chances to bump into me... haha so be it...

Sunday commissioning parade... fred, gary and dennis officers liao leh... but congrats manz... all the shit finally over...

Arggh feet itchy... and i need to go buy new clothes.

Mess Initiation on Wed was... better than i expected... I was dreading it so much... but the 1st 2 events went well... until the preparation for the performance... not going to elaborate cos i'm tired... lazy la... go guess... but Chris proved again to be my best buddy in camp... think i still have his shorts in my cupboard...

And the most shocking thing happened... anyway next time anyone wants to save his money on drinks in clubs... gulp and i mean GULP really fast... 1 can of stout down... got to do it in less than 15 secs... then you can feel DA feeling...

Kenneth: Hey... what's with jurong island manz?? The way i see you do duty... it's quite scary you know... but good to hear from you that day... hang in there dude... and maybe one of these days you might see me post a FOS newsletter to you. =p

Tired le.

"Big Chicken Rice"

Haha what a title
For something not too little.
I was hungry so i had that
For today's lunch at 2pm.

Someone couldn't play the game
So he backed off, unfortunately.
But my plan worked
And both of us are happy.

We had a little of Winning Eleven
Wondered how such rapport was built.
Mutual understanding i guess
And a little cleverness too.

Such lousy English usage
Only i dare to use.
But who doesn't understand
No one but i.



So much for tonight... waiting for the "hair wet wet" one to come back from showering... =p


Oh another one's forming up...

"Bringin' it down"

I brought myself down to your level
Doesn't necessary mean i am there
I am always up here
But i thought you worth my time

So much for a little meet up
And so little for so much talk
All this empty meanings
Portrays just how much you are

Not an ipod nor a S700i
Or a ps2 to go by
I wanted to donate a chance
But you kept the donation all by yourself

So be it then i say
But you stubbornly thought you are up here
Do look around if you have the time
I've brought myself up

We are different.


Yay... baby's back... =)



Yours,
Lah

"Just a little"

So much for being paranoid
Not a little that i can spare
Nor too much of that right.
Down thru the street the lights glare
Booming music and tailgating taxis
Scared the hell out of little pussies.
Tonight at Rouge there's a party
But stealing cars and earning respect
Are the chores i'm entertaining tonight.
Finished Angels and Demons yesterday
A wonderful read that left me wondering
So much so for being holy and having faith
You only end up burning in despair
And the crowd thought you are God.
With twisted words and a hypocrite heart
Jealousy is all i sense.
Out with a purpose only to protect your "holy" name
So that the chicks will get magnetized?
All please look in the mirror
And realise how bashed up you look.
But i don't care.

Maybe i might just raise an eyebrow.

Dear Blog,

Shiok... another day off for vball without actually doing anything... hopefully another one for the swim meet... haha... i must really thank god for all these... no one get such a good deal... it's all so fated...

Getting 4th in the course... thus leading to OC recommending me for the spec trainer post... cos the bayonet holders seemingly can't have this post... and apparently this post is a damn demanding one... everyone was saying "spec trainer leh... don't play play ar..." haha luckily... my first thank to my lucky star... that i am reposted... not say i am bui kan la... but really... spec trainer is tough... so have been at BSS for quite sometime already... erm good place... nice ppl... but not something i like to do... it's so... sian... i wanna be in boat coy... getting attached to other units... zua the boat around the seas...

But in the end... it still comes down to no one actually get so lucky... nv even pia and can end up with an 8-5 job...

Anyway... swimming meet... it was what i expected... get to fall out as soon as the event you took part finished... so it was like early fall out twice in the week... =)... but anyway... 4X50 free was fun... haven't swam for ages... and my timing was close 40sec... that is slow... real slow... but it was all good fun... saw my cousin there and the rest of the soce guys and detc guys... and ya we got 4th... hey i just got overtook by 1 swimmer k... and when i plunged... i was 2nd... so... haha excuses...

So... i guess fat hope for the off...

Next wed there's mess initiation... and they need us to come up with an item plus all the quiz stuff... totally uncalled for... like who will actually do that... think in the end no one does anything and the whole batch just will go and sign extra...

Sian sunday duty at gedong... think i will bring ps 2 there... but next week quite short... mon and tues only... den wed a bit... thurs off for me... oh and WK's treat to geylang that day... and apparently there's a party that night too... Gotta confirm that with JH...

Shen Diao is playing everyday at the mess... then we all will all gather there and watch... quite nice la... think is the hong kong version one... it came on scv sometime back...

Dinner time... and i can't get the car later... sian...

Dear Blog,

The conversation that shouldn't have happened...

Him: Hey you know how to swim...??

Me: er... alright la...

Him: Means good right??

Me: Not really...

... And the next thing i see in the RO... my name down for inter-unit swimming next tues... KP is so going to screw me for being so MIA recently...

Dear Blog,

Pia finished MGS3 last night. It was great. I love the story. All the stuff about patriotism... being a hero... and triple-crossing your bosses.... going undercover...

The fight with The Boss wasn't too difficult... but anyway the main thing is about the revealing of The Boss' true identity... whew... you just want to salute her.

"There can only be one Boss... and one Snake... "

And the ultimate twist... Ocelot is a CIA undercover... so basically all the good guys are working undercover for the badass Volgin and he doesn't know it. All the electricity must have shortcircuited him.

Maybe i will try a harder difficulty level the next round...

Oh and Singapore won~!! The injury time goal by the indon was stupid. Shouldn't have let them score that. But anyway got duty this coming sun... so can't go down to cheer the team on also.

Cancelling out the "Dear Blog" for this entry. In the little kind of "poetry" mood since yest. Or rather in a mood to be a little vague.

"The Girl with the long eyelashes"

Small time big people
Nevertheless we were early
Too early for a drink
Or even rock n roll
Just a few buggers sipping
The rest serving
Waited for the flow to come
When the guys got into the mood
But without doubt
The proportion's inappropriate
Only i've got the eyes
To see the lashes so captivating
The other hungry ones are closing in
So i acted on fast
But my heart was filled
A donater i became
Left the catch to my dear pal
Only for the portuguese to cut queue
Realise i lacked the courage
It isn't about morals
So don't worry dear
Just worried about my social skills.


"Mu Zhong Wu Ren" (=p)

I recce and survey
To see some petty stuff
Such small stuff aint worth the time
Only to find myself ridiculed
Weird my blog is
But no one quite cares
Actually everyone knows
Only you too blind to see
Needed someone to tell you
Before you realise the situation
Caught on the backfoot without support
You struggle to strike back
Hmmm maybe you didn't
Just some insults you are attempting
Which ended up like ashes on a windy night
No loud hailer needed for stuff like this
Because we both didn't quite care.


Dear Blog,

I don't know what to blog.

On standby. Touch wood.

Chinablack. Fucked-up Sebastian.

Dear Blog,

I reckon everyone got to go past that stage at least once in their life to fully treasure their loved ones.

Got home. Surprisingly tired. Got 3rd for inter-unit vball. 36th and 35th prove to be too strong. But we were close. Think 36th will emerge champion.

Finally found the solution to defeat The Sorrow. It's ULTIMATELY stupid.

Suddenly found this mtv lurking somewhere in the laptop... think it's my sis'...

Unbreakable - Westlife

You took my hand
Touched my heart
Held me close
You were always there
By my side
Night and day
Through it all
Baby come what may

Swept away on a wave of emotion
Oh, we´re caught in the eye of the storm
And, whenever you smile
I can hardly believe that you´re mine

This love is unbreakable
It´s unmistakable
And each time I look in your eyes
I know why
This love is untouchable
A feeling my heart just can't deny
Each time I look in your eyes
Oh babyI know why
This love is unbreakable

Shared the laughter
Shared the tears
We both know
We´ll go on from here
´Cause together
We are strong
In my arms
That's where you belong

I´ve been touched by the hands of an angel
I´ve been blessed by the power of love
And whenever you smile
I can hardly believe that you´re mine

This love is unbreakable
It´s unmistakable
And each time I look in your eyes
I know why
This love is untouchable
A feeling my heart just can't deny
Each time you whisper my name
Oh babyI know why
This love is unbreakable
This love is unbreakable

Through fire and flame
When all this is over
Our love still remains

Each time I look in your eyes
Oh baby
I know why
This love is unbreakable

Dear Blog,

For a few friends...

Ongbu: erm... its not really ie la i think... its just that my laptop reads and reads and reads... think its the virus... so ya... kinda make it like ie has the problem... but thanks yea... wads firefox anyway??

Yours,

Dear Blog,

There wasn't actually anything much there.

Just mostly self-obession.

u need not have got so disturbed you know... it was really nothing... really...

Anyway, today's vball tournie was great. We had a great start. Beat 39th and AE. Into the semis. Next up is 36th... which i reckon is the strongest around. Tough match but we aren't too bad either. My off depends on it.

Oh and btw... i've got 2 days off for that activation. Perhaps 1 more if Gavin manages to fight for it for that lousy night at Changi Naval Base.

Been sitting in other people's car a little this few days. Was thinking of that time when i was licence-less. It's so much more convenient now... but i swear i've grew more spoilt. Well... i also know the roads better now and taxi drivers can't cheat me now.

Today almost got activated. But i think Jon understood that there isn't a need for so many people there doing nothing. So yeah home i am now.

MGS was great until i met The Sorrow. I haven't actually figure a way to get past him... but i've got a plan already. The duel with The End was way way exciting... though games are still games... if i climb up the same tree everytime, and he appears at the same place everytime, i reckon i can kill him quite easily.

And... happy tree friends is sick... but its damn funny... its lame lame shit...

Do you people feel that time is passing too fast? It's like... zoooom.... zooooom.... zoooooooomm.... and things that are going to happen in the next week soon happen... and something you plan for the next month, unknowingly, you realise its happening tmr cos time just go pass like that. It's exciting for things to happen la... but... well...

Have fun.

Someone's,
Lah
