This wkd i guess........................

This weekend is another short and normal weekend ba. Anyway, seems like it is a week of raining. And it is still raining as i continue to update my post today. Ok, this weekend started with a book out on friday at abt 7pm where 1 of my army friends ask me to watch the fireworks with him that very night. The tickets was balloted as usual in the afternoon with me not knowing as i was helping my storeman at that point of time. Anyway, i still got to go as my friend invited me to. Anyway, we reach there at abt 8.30pm and waited for the fireworks that night which was from france. Before that, was a whole series of performances like fire shows, bands, indian dances, showcase of military band and etc. We waited 1 hour as the fireworks was delayed i think. Anyway, the fireworks was shown at 9.30pm that night. After that, we head for kfc for dinner at bugis as there were too many people at the marina area. After that, we went home and i reach home at abt 12.30am. Saturday went out with my ite friends to watch the fireworks and met at abt 3.30pm. Met up with kenny and seb first at the somerset MRT station and waited a while before ah kiong came. After that, head out to cineleisure for lunch at KFC while waiting for yiqi. Anyway, even after we finish our food, yiqi still have not reach. I guess her being late style still remains. Meanwhile, we went to see if there is any movie to watch while waiting for lijin to finish work at 8pm. Then came yiqi at abt 4.15pm. Found a movie where all of us agree to watch and went to ask how long the movie is as ah kiong say that lijin is an impatient person which will complain if she's the one waiting for us. But i think actually we could watch the movie as it finishes at 8.15pm which is only 15mins after lijin knock off work. I think 15mins is ok for a person to be waiting esp. if they are friends, not mentioning she is just waiting not one but for a group of friends. Actually, i am not the only one to think this way too. Seb also feel that 15mins for waiting is not a long time. Anyway, in the end, ah kiong decided not to watch the movie as not to make her waiting for us. In the end, we decided to play at cineleisure level 9 where there are lan gaming, wiii console sets for rental, ps3 consoles and x-box consoles there as well. We booked a chamber for it. In the chamber, were 2 computers, tv plus the wiii console set. seb and i were playing on the computer while kenny, ah kiong and yiqi were playing the wiii games. In the meantime, i tryed the e-sizing of my new army uniforms on the website and it work. Yes, finally submitted the e-sizing of my uniform. Anyway, we spent 2 hours in the chamber. When we came out, it is already 7.05pm lol. We then went to walk around TAKA while still waiting for lijin to knock off work at 8pm. At abt 8pm, we went to look for lijin and took a bus over to marina square where we waited for the fireworks to start at the foodcourt. The fireworks started at abt 9.10pm. After that, seb and i ate our dinner at the foodcourt after lijin found a place for us. For the rest, they went to yoshinoya for dinner. After dinner, it was already 11pm. We then went home. On my way home, saw calvin at the esplande. Found out that he was doing some preparation work for the army half marathon this morning and was not allow to book out. Anyway, reach home around 12.30am, the same time on friday nite. Today, a normal day as soon will be preparing to book in for another week in camp.This would be a long week with outfield on tues and wed and guard duty on wed and sat. Army life still sucks while i still left with 10 months of service. Talk more when i return for the short weekend of half day on next sunday! Sian!

Short week pass, time to resume to the normal 5-day week again...............

Reality is cruel. Isn't it? Anyway, time for me to resume my normal army routine i guess. Back to the jungle(field training) with my super heavy weapon. It just sucks, it been almost 5 months since my last outfield training. Anyway, my first outfield is ard 1 week from now, it will be a 2 days 1 nite. I think it will not be easy for me. After all, it is a long time that i have not been to the field. I guess i will not be the only one i guess. Anyway, let's enjoy the urban life in ns for now ba. Talking abt this, next sunday, on the 24th, there will be a army event which i am suppose to be in. So i guess, alll of us will be burning that sunday morning as well. Don't want to think abt this, as i still got guard duty on 30th, a saturday. So sian, huh!! Nothing can do except to accept the fact ba. Anyway, looking at the bright side, i am left with 10 months of service in my ns cycle being an NSF. Hopefully, it will pass quicker than i will ever imagine ba. I guess this is reality. Bad or good, you can only take it. Abt resuming this normal weekend for the first in months, i guess it is rather short as would others will think too. Anyway, just went out yesterday to buy something army stuffs at beach road. Quite a lot of people there. Anyway, bought what i want, by then it is already 5pm. Then i went to meet ah kiong at ngee ann city by taking a bus to orchard from a nearby bus stop at beach road. Met him and he got something to pass to li jin before we went to watch a movie at 7.30pm. We watch 'journey to the centre of the earth'. Quite ok movie to me. Filled with laughter i guess. Before the movie, had mcdonalds as ah kiong wanted his archery glass to complete his set of 5. After the movie, abt 9pm, we went to eat again at the taka food court at the basement of taka. As usual, the route home was walking down orchard road to SMU before heading home for the both of us. Saturdays was back for me, but i sort of wanted a monday nite book in more. Reality is as it seems , huh! 5-day week starting tomo, huh! Wondering what it would be like, a long week ahead i guess!!! Sian, when would my army life end? Could it be any faster?

Old friends reunite for the 2nd straight week +the NDP show 2008

Continuing the details of the last post.........................................
Last week, ah kiong, li jin, calvin and i met for the first time in a long while. Anyway, it was quite last minute as i waited for ah kiong to finish editing his IT project before calling lijin after her work. Ya, ah kiong told me these abt 6.15pm that day and ask me to call lijin to see whether we can meet. Anyway, i decided to call lijin when it was abt 7pm which is the time she finished work. She was surprised to receive my call as she thought we would not be meeting. Anyway, we still met up and went to meet calvin at ang mo kio where we had dinner at mcdonald's for it was suggested by me so that i could collect the coke glass. After dinner, we went to look around game shops as lijin was looking for a game to play on her NDS. Finally, she found the game and she bought it and then after we went home after that.
Back to this week's post, we had an early book out this week on friday as the battalion had our day off after the east coast park run which was finish by 10.20am. On that day, i was helping the conducting officers and went out early with the advance party of store together with the officers. I forgetten to sign my 'book out' book, so i decided to come back with them to sign the book and also to help them unload the stores. When i went back, then realise the COS had help me to forge in the book. Anyway, i thank him and had my lunch in camp at the canteen before going back together with 2 of my army friends taking taxi home. They came back because they did not meet the running time of 1hr 30mins for the 10km run. Anyway, reach home at 3.30pm that day. Rested for that day at home with me watching and completing my drama series. For Saturday, the actual day of NDP 08, we had to reach the floating platform at 1pm. i went there early as there were clearance that had to be done. Anyway, reach there on time. Anyway, we move off only at 2.30pm and only required to be ready by 4pm. As the show started, my seagate 2 team did what was required of me but after what was done. We decided to stay at the place for the last time for the last fireworks performance over there. The fireworks were great from that view and the NDP 08 finally ended for us. We then stayed to be dismissed. Anyway, we waited till 9pm before my company finished their work. Then, we took quite a number of photos with one another. Anyway, lijin and ah kiong was waiting for me to eat dinner together as they went there to watch fireworks also. I met them at pastamania to have dinner together. On the way there, met yiqi and boyfriend. Chatted for a while before rushing to meet the rest at pastamania. Surprised to see calvin there, as he was recalled to camp that day. Anyway, he just reach also. We had dinner before heading back home. On sunday, met ah kiong at chinatown at 3.30pm to go for the flea market to look for presents for our friends. Anyway, after that, went to cd shops around in chinatown to look for new dramas or albums. Ya, i found and bought 1 drama which titled by justice Bao 2008. After that, again, we went to met lijin and calvin at bishan for dinner. This time, we had half-chicken rice shared among us. We had the chicken treated by calvin which we found out only when we were going home. A lot of joy always found among the 4 of us when we are together. Happy is the the word i guess. Anyway, will always enjoy that i guess. For yesterday, went to watch the mummy movie with my cousin at abt 5pm. After that, went to my army friends bbq at abt 8pm before reaching home after that at abt 11pm. Nothing much as a normal book in date where i will be at home which is today. Haha, i guess it is a routine for a book in day i guess.
