Almost nearing end of my holidays......................

This week is the last week of my long school holidays. It had been a long holiday i guess. I guess most of my holidays i really enjoyed myself. I used this holidays to make up for the holidays i didn't have while serving my national service as a armour trooper. Anyway, sep holidays for me was a bit boring for me ba but close to the end of sep. The activities for me seems endless as i went out almost everyday. Haha, since oct started i been really enjoying the holidays. As you can see from the previous 2 posts, a lot of activities i was doing and really a lot of wonderful memories for this holidays. I guess i had a great holidays after all.

To the activities after the jb trip on last monday, i got all the dvds i bought on wednesday.For yesterday, went out with ah kiong and watch the movie 'the message' after that went to suntec and guess what we saw while we were leaving the place. We saw Dr derek yeo, our course manager in my ite days. He was with his family. Chatted for a while and found out that the gathering in dec is going to be organise by the student services in ITE. I guess I should be going as after i am a ITE graduate and i am doing great also in my path of the science sector. I am sure that i can carry the ITE brand proud in singapore poly which i am currently studying or at least i hope.Haha, a great statement from me!! Really hope i do well to carry the good name for the science in ITE.

I finally finished watching a hk drama today, which i been chasing during the week i guess. The drama is something like the chinese version of CSI. The drama is a good drama i thought with the different highs and lows in it.

Today is the day where my brother came back from his confinement after his first 2 weeks in the police national service. Nothing much had change for him except for his hair. Expected as this is what all the singaporean male have to go through as a citizen. He came back complaining about the physical training. I guess he just started out, i think everyone started out the same too. Anyway, i still think army is worse than police training. It is because police don't go outfield and besides i think to them, the most difficult part is physical training only. From my experience in army, army is tougher as we had stress during outfield exercises and we also have physical training. Therefore, army is toughest among the 3 national service for males. Although i went through army as a armour trooper, it was difficult at the start but i still persevere through the 2 years and made quite a new of good friends or better known as brothers. I guess everything have their good and bad sides. Anyway, happy that my brother came back home after a long time.Anyway, as a police NSF, he will have more time at home after this 3 months after he pass out successfully. Because being a police is actually a stay out type of national service job, not like in the army where you are confined to a camp permanently and the worse thing is you need to stay in camp during weekdays. That's why being a police serving national service, the toughest is only the first 3 months in home team academy. Looking to my brother passing out in january next year as a police officer and he will have more time with his family and friends after that. That's great!! So looking forward to that day!

Anyway, before that day actually comes, it is time for me to continue in my quest for a diploma when school reopens next monday! Will update soon!!!

Continuing.................

From the last blog i mention abt the cycling trip, besides that i also went LAN gaming with my secondary school friends, a ITE gathering involving the chinese and the JB trip. LAN gaming was a new found hobby with my secondary school friends so we also had a new hangout place which is AMK. We normally played LAN games at a shop in K box plaza near AMK central.
For the ite gathering was planned by me with the help of ah kiong, i guess i asked jane before i actually only decide to gather the chinese in ITE, she say since the malays already had their outing quite some time ago, we should have our own. I actually also thought something similar and organising a chinese gathering is easier as most of us were still in contact over MSN or phone. I am also not that close to the malays in ITE. Anyway, for the gathering, i decided it would be a steamboat buffet in the night. Seldom go to steamboat buffet restaurants so ah kiong and i went for marketing which restaurant should go in bugis 2 days before the actual day. Anyway, on the actual day, we went into this steamboat restaurant where the service was slow and awful lousy. Not a good restaurant and i guess the next time, i will not eat there again ba.
Good time spent there though as everyone of the 12 there got to catch up with one another after 2 long years since graduation in ite. Most of the guys there finished our national service except alvin which is still serving his. I guess this time can see a lot of people came out as we didn't had a outing for a long time. For the ones that miss it, i can only say it is theirs to regret. I shall try to organise another in the future i guess. This kind of gathering always brings great memories and happiness.
For the JB trip, it's been a long while since i went there. This is the first time, Lijin joined me and ah kiong for this jb trip. It's been a long while we went jb because of swine flu, studies and etc. Anyway, had a great time over lijin there. We also broke our record for buying dvds as both of us bought a total of 59 including 18 dvds of heros for lyon which i bought for him. Anyway, bought dvds until there was not enough for dinner and lijin is the only one that had money left. So she treated us for dinner at pizza hut over at jb holiday plaza after we finished buying our dvds. Anyway, i treated her for lunch as it is the first time she joins us for the jb trip. At dinner, she treated me back, so we are sort of even. Haha! Anyway, i always enjoyed the way we teased and talked about things. I guess not only me, the 3 of us should have enjoyed it on that day. We are so good friends i guess and enjoyed each others' company. I guess we will enjoy more of these jb trips in the future. The jb trip also marks the last week of my sch holidays lol. Will update more on the next blog post of this week!!!

Another long list of events that passed.................

Don know when did my blog because full of my events i gone through in great details. Anyway, i know a lot of ppl is suggesting that i cut down on the details and summarise! Actually used to summarise and list only important events that passed, but maybe because while serving NS over the 2 years, i forgotten how to blog and started writing every single detail that had been happening around me. Anyway, i shall try to cut down on every detail and summarise by only writing what is more important. Haha!! Continuing from the last blog post, i had cycling, played LAN games, went out with friends and a jb trip for the long week that passed till now. Cycling was among the activity i most look forward to as it has always been a passion for me. And ever since buying my new bicycle i never ride on it. This is the first time after so long i cycling as finally i found a cycling partner which is azli to accompany me for the cycling trip we sort of planned. To start the cycling trip off, we decided to meet at potong pasir at 1pm. While i was cycling there, my tyre busted when i was at serangoon. At that point of time, azli was already at potong pasir, i called him and ask him to come serangoon as i could not continue the cycling trip with a busted tyre. Then i met him and call a friend(saleh) living in serangoon to ask if there is a bicycle shop nearby so that i could change my tyre. He told me, the nearest bicycle shop is in serangoon north where he live. Anyway, we could not continue until my tyre was changed. So azli and i walk from serangoon to serangoon north. Finally, we reach the bicycle shop and met saleh where we had lunch together and say goodbye to saleh before resuming our bicycle trip to east coast park. It was a long but straight road to east coast park through hougang, ubi, eunos, parkway. We were but surprised as the ride was merely over 1 hour as we reach east coast park. Anyway, ride in east coast park while waiting for saleh and jeremy for dinner. So met them for dinner at east coast mcdonalds, actually that of going home after that but azli didn't want so we chatted till abt 2.30am before jeremy wanted to make a move to prepare for his mobilisation stuffs, so saleh send him home on the motorbike while azli and i continue talking while resting in east coast park. We then decided to leave at 4am. So i reach home at 5.15am, was so shagged lol! Talk with azli about it at east coast park lol, thought the whole experience was damn shagged lol cause we also quite a long time never exercise liao!! Haha!! I thought my bicycle a bit sucky too cause all the bicycle trips i had in the past, my bicycle also had no problems lol!!! Will continue on, going to sleep soon................

Long week that i spent since the last blog post.........

A lot had happened in this long week, i had a gathering on the first day of F1 which is a saturday at vivocity where i caught up with some of my army friends and had dinner. For sunday the race day of F1 was asked by my group of secondary friends to AMK to play LAN game for a good 3 hours before i headed home to watch F1 race live on TV.
For this long week following the F1 weekend, it started with me attending my poly chalet from monday to wednesday. This is the second poly chalet for our class, this time round came lesser people as most of my poly classmates are busy working or have something on. Total persons that came for the chalet i think about 9-10 only. Anyway, i still had fun although lesser people this time. On the second night, we had our bbq where i set up the fire since nobody really know how to. I thought also this is the first time i set up the bbq fire alone. I felt good also. I never knew i could do it lol. Really proud of my work. Haha!!! Anyway, i miss half of chris and fann wong wedding on tv as i had to help my classmates maintain the bbq pit fire. That night, fanned the charcoal to maintain the fire until, my arms also ached lol. In the end, we managed to cook finish 90% of the bbq food with the fire. Lucky, our class tutor did not come for the bbq because i took quite a long time to start the fire. From the chalet this time, i learn more about playing majong. I can say i learn a lot from chalets ba. Haha!! From the chalet, also found out my grades are average comparing it to my classmates. Guess that i would have to work hard for next semester to get better grades. I don think i too happy with my results ba!! Anyway, spent quite a lot of time playing wiii. Besides that, watched a movie that i bought along which is 'hell boy 2' and watch live soccer. That's for the chalet part i guess.
After the chalet, i went home in a cab with my poly friend, ben. I reach home on wednesday abt 1.30pm. After that, slept off as i was feeling very tired from the chalet. That time, woke up abt 3pm for lunch as i was feeling hungry. After that ah kiong asked me out and i went out after lunch to meet him and kenny at HMV in orchard. After that, made our way to marina square where kenny spent a lot of money on toys catching for the rest of the day there. In the end, kenny borrowed money from the 2 of us before he finally finished catching his last toy. I think he spent abt $200 that day. Also we had to help him carry to woodlands as he did not have enough hands. After reaching woodlands, we sent him to the bus where he headed home first before we head for mos burger to have our dinner abt 9.30pm. After dinner, met kenny again at the bus interchange at abt 10.30pm as he went home to take money to return us. After that, it was home for all of us.
For thursday, my father had a dental appointment at SGH where he wanted to make his fake teeth. He took half day leave as his appointment was at 4.30pm and came back home abt 2pm. After that, the whole family accompanied him there and he was told he needed to wait a year for his fake teeth. Anyway, after that, my whole family went for a late lunch followed by shopping around Chinatown. We reach home at abt 8.30pm that day.
For friday, i went out after our new sofa set and coffee table came at abt 3pm. This time, went out with my secondary friends. First, met up with azli and yaqin at bishan at abt 6pm. Azli wanted to eat first so went to mcdonald's. After that, we took MRT to AMK and walk around amk hub before jeremy and saleh reach. After we met up with them, we headed for dinner at a nearby food court. Then waited for the last person which is azri as he book out of police camp only abt 7pm. After everyone reach, we started playing LFD(LAN game) at abt 8.30pm. We played until most of us actually forgot the time lol. Anyway, we finish playing only abt 11.30pm. After that, the rest went to supper at mcdonald's. I went home early as i know i need to rest early for my cousin's wedding the next day. So i took the bus home from amk abt 12 midnight and reach home abt 12.30am. I did not sleep early as i was hungry and had cup noodles before i actually slept at 2.15am.
For saturday, it is my cousin's wedding day so i set my hp alarm for me to wake up at abt 6.30am that morning. So i woke up at that time, after that my whole family were preparing as we needed to be at my cousin's place at abt 7am. Anyway, we reach abt 7.30am that morning and surprised to find out we were still early. Ya, forgot to mention my cousin is a female. So we reach early and that morning we actually got to see how the groom and brothers got tortured by the sisters before going to pick up the bride which is my cousin in her room. After that, the bride and groom went to the groom's house while the rest of us remained and waited for her to return.
After the tea serving cermony, we went home to rest and relax for the wedding dinner at night.
The wedding dinner was held at holiday Inn parkview at orchard road. My family reach there abt 7pm and the dinner room was not open so we were outside waiting as more and more people arrive, we were serve drinks outside. First time for me, need to wait outside for a wedding dinner to begin. Anyway, i think this sucks already. There's more later on lol. We waited until abt 7.30pm before we got to go in and waited for the dinner to start. Were told that the dinner will start in 30 mins so everyone was chatting and catching up. After that, the most sickening thing is the service there really sucks as the service was so slow that some guests left before the last dish was served. Anyway, we finish the dinner and left with my uncle's family and my grandma as my uncle offered to send my family home. Before that, my uncle sent my grandma home before sending my family home. We reach home abt 12 midnight yesterday. After that, went for supper with my mother and brother as we were still hungry. We had mcdonald's and watched the first half of the man united vs sunderland match there before buying food for my father and went home after that. After we went home, i bathe and sleep at abt 2.30am.
For today, nothing much, decided to stay home and rest as i was quite tired after a long week of events. Ya, also planning a ite gathering for the chinese this sat. I will be going for a jb trip on 12 oct too. For next week, so far tuesday is my brother's enlistment date into the police force, my family will be going, wednesday i will be on a cycling trip with azli and sat is the ite gathering. That's life for me next week!! Will update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
