Christmas week.................................

It is a long weekend install for us in this december. For this long christmas weekend, i almost went out everyday. i book out on christmas eve on last wednesday afternoon. For thursday which is christmas itself, i went out with my ite friends of ah kiong, lijin and calvin. Ah kiong and i met up first at abt 3pm. We met up and had lunch before calvin and lijin joined us at abt 5.30pm. Found out the reason why they were so late cause at first i thought we were meeting up at abt 3-4pm. Lijin went to a saloon in orchard to get her haircut done. Anyway, we went window shopping in vivo for a while before checking out on a advertisement on a steamboat buffet featuring the shop in a rather deserted place in vivo which is a corner behind 'DAISO' departmental store. Went to take a look there and decided to have our dinner over there. Not too bad a place, just that the seafood found there are not very fresh. Example is the prawns are frozen and very soft. Anyway, still quite filling as i had my fair share of food there. On Friday, went out with a group of army friends for a ktv session at K-box from 12-3pm. After that, went to beach road with them as 2 of us wanted to buy some army stuffs. After that, we went to bugis where we play in game arcade and after that settle our dinner in the food court in bugis junction. For saturday, nothing much so stayed home and play computer games plus NDS. But in the night, went out with my family to have our dinner at hougang point. It's been a long while since i went there. Anyway, not a very gd dinner there as there are not a lot of nice food stalls there. Yesterday which is sunday went out with ah kiong to watch the movie transporter 3. Not a big screen as it is on sneak preview only. Anyway, a nice movie to watch for the action and drama in it. I also bought the bao qing tian 2008 part 2 which recently released. Bought it at blue max at $15. Then, in the evening after the movie, we went to SMU and traded pokemon using our NDS there before heading back home. Today going to book in. Normal routinue, just that i am feeling not too good today due to cough, sore throat and a bit of flu. Will update again...............

A long weekend cause of clearing leave for me.........

Came out on thursday night after doing nothing the whole day BUT area cleaning. Anyway, i think our csm is mad that day. Anyway, reach home abt 10pm that day. Friday was a BBQ planned by my sec friends. So i went for it and met them at abt 5pm. Together we bought the bbq food and utensils. Then, we waited for the latest person to meet us there which is jeremy before heading to east coast park, taking taxi as we had the bbq stuffs to bring over. We started the bbq at abt 6pm and spent the time in the park eating. Another of my sec friend then joined us at abt 7.30pm as he went to gym and was riding motorbike. Anyway, the rest of the time besides bbq, we were playing poker cards. Play with a bit of money, abt 10-20 cents before we decided to go home at abt 12.30am. Saleh sent me home since we live close to one another, while the others took a cab home as they live in the same area. Anyway, that night's food was a bit strange and the next morning i sort of had a small stomachache. But i still went out in that saturday afternoon with ah kiong. We met at abt 4pm and ate lunch at far east plaza KFC. After that, we shopped around orchard as i was looking for a christmas present for the companymate i was supposed to give. Found the ideal gift at TAKA, bought it and went to plaza singapura looking for wrapping paper. Didn't found it so i decided to buy it another time. After that, went to chinatown to look for dinner there as there are more choices available. I was left with $2 at that time. So we went to the hawker centre that is reopen and found a $2 roasted duck rice stall. Decided to eat at that stall BUT i ate roasted pork rice instead at the same price. Anyway, after that went home. Also ah kiong bought for me a christmas present, a NDS game. This is the second time he bought for me a NDS game lol. Thanks a lot. A bit awkward for me as i hardly give him any presents. Anyway, nothing much to say as i think people who understands me best know my character has to do with this. Sunday afternoon went to aunt's house a few blocks away to celebrate my cousin's birthday. She had a lunch buffet there and i spent a gd afternoon with my relatives there. Came back before the soccer match between singapore and vietnam which was shown on channel 5 live. Disappointing results as singapore crushed out of the tournment. Anyway, nothing much for today. Booking in only today as i am on leave. Going back to camp lol. Will update again!!! Bye......

Another week......................

Another week passed, this is a 4 day week cause of hari raya. Anyway, it started from tuesday, where we prepared a logistics inspection next week. It is a busy week for most of the platoons as our whole company prepared for this. For HQ platoon, i guess for me, i am quite ok. maybe because i got all the simpler tasks ba. Nothing much happen in camp i guess. Tomo going for second combat shoot in this year. Boring for most of us cause have to shoot, then later still must clean the weapon. For weekend, i guess it is the normal routine for me. Saturday and sunday only ma. Because of the shoot tomo, have to book in earlier so sian lol. Anyway, yesterday went out with ah kiong and i bought a nds game at ps to play on my nds lite. Before that, went to meet the insurance agent to resign the policy which i sign for before meeting ah kiong at national library. Nothing for yesterday i guess. And ya i forgot to bring in soap last week and was borrowing soap from my bunkmate for the week. So awkward as i use his bathing stuffs for the whole of last week until i got to buy it on friday afternoon cause e-mart only open on friday last week. Today, it is the same. I not going to repeat i guess. It is almost the same. Haha! Will update again! Bye!!!!

Long time again.................................

It's been a long while, 2 weeks since i updated my blog i guess. Ok, the last post was before i went to a 4 days 3 nights outfield. For that outfield, was ok with enough rest for us(the troops) each night i would say. Anyway, things was quite ok as i bought bread for the 4 days of hell in the field. We wouldn't have such luxury when doing the actual evaluation i guess, surely the rest time wouldn't be that much because it is a mock war situation and in war, we fight and kill or be killed. Ya, it is great since the outfield is over as our company had a long weekend after the outfield with us clearing 2 days of leave on the following monday and tuesday. Last week, since it is a long weekend for me. Quite glad since it is well spent. On saturday, as usual went to meet ah kiong. Sunday went to meet some of my army friends for steamboat buffet in the evening. Before that, met up with 1 of them and went to expo for the IT fair there. For the buffet, it was good with the price of $15 except it doesn't come with drinks. First time actually went to meet army friends during a weekend. Ok lah cause this bunch of my army friends were closer although not from my platoon but known them as they were my ex-platoon 6 mates. Sometimes, also a good experience to come out with them. Monday went to settle my bank matters with 1 of my army friend who also wanted to open a UOB account. After that, i went with him to suntec city to take a look at the remote contolled cars which i was encouraged to buy by my bunkmates as they were also buying to play along. Bought 2 of those at Carrefour supermarket and found it was not so good. Good price= good quality i think. After that, saw another 3 of my army friends at Suntec when i was paying for the cars. We then went to play games at the arcade and had dinner before going home that day. For tuesday since it is a book in day, the normal routine for me resume as i prepare to go back camp that night except i brought back one of the cheaper cars back camp that night. For events last week, since it is short week, for wednesday i was assigned to help the armskote settle some things for some check. Thursday, nothing much except for the cohesion dinner and BBQ night. Enjoy quite a bit and great night i would say. Friday was short day as from morning we had a NE tour to the same places as the one in last feb. Anyway, we were released at 1pm after the tour. After, 1 of my army friend and i went to suntec to walk abt but before that was stop by a prudential company agent and i bought a plan of 25 years with yearly having to paid $870. Anyway, could save me a lot of the money by then although it is going to be a long wait i guess. This week was another long weekend because of hari raya. For saturday, went out with ah kiong. Later met lijin and calvin after she finished work at 7pm at tiong bahru plaza. Went for dinner at chinatown and after that we walk around before going home at abt 9.30pm. As for yesterday, went to visit my grandma with my cousin and brother as usual. Spent the day and catch up with my grandma and cousin. Great day spent i would say as usual. Today, nothing much. In the afternoon, went to tampines for lunch and to toy-r-us to buy another remote controlled car. I thought quality would be better but i guess it is almost the same. Time running out for me again! See you guys again!!!!
