Well... other than that, nothing much happened... Oh yeah... this needs a mention too... Gerard found 2 small terrapins in the drain near the cookhouse and brought them back to bunk, so now we have 4 terrapins... 2 in the big tank and the 2 new ones in the small tank... hehe... they're so cute... Speaking of cute... The cat that bit me last time I was on COS duty came back again that Sat morning... Hehe... I nearly wanted to bring her home... But she ran off to eat grass when I wasn't looking.. hehe... Go figure....
Ok... now onto what I promised on Sun... about my cheonging on Sat... Hehe... so many funny things happened, dunno where to start.... Well... guess I knew something wasn't right when I arrived at Induz3 at Hotel Pheonix with Val and Khas... The place was like... half empty!! Only had 2 idiots dancing on the dance floor!! The 3 of us just walked around, looking for a table, finally found one, sat down and I went like, "This is worse than China Black!!" So we decided to make the best of it by getting drinks, this time, Val went to get them... hee... Had Vodka Lime again, 3 ppl shared 2 drinks... Hehe... guess who didn't drink much... *wink*
Anyway, luckily, the music started to pick up soon and we hit the dance floor... the music wasn't that nice at first... so after a while, we headed back to sit and wait, like always... waited for the right song, and while waiting, I saw what could only be termed as 'first timers' in the club... 4 gals, all dressed too decently, they really looked out of place in the club... hehe... Then they still carry bags... I mean, when you're clubbing, you should carry light, so you don't risk anything being stolen... Definitely first timers... Then there are also the BMT POP group, there were so many there, I really started to wonder... until I realised that like Khas, they just Passed Out from BMT, on block leave now to enjoy.. hee... so funny... see the dance floor so many bald heads... Hee... Then I saw something that made me nearly collapse on the ground laughing... I saw an old man dancing to the music!!! Really dancing!! He was like 70 years old and still dancing!!! Wah lau!! Power sia!! He was like waving his hands in the air... moving his shoulders, shaking his hips... Not bad leh... And during one of the dance tracks... he actually took this whistle he had and went Beep beep beeeep!!! Beep beep beeeep!!! I nearly peng sia!!! Wahaha...
Anyway, the songs really picked up after 1am... the 3 of us danced non stop for like 1 and half hours!! That's how good the music was... From Groove Coverage to Black Eyes Peas and Espresso... The tracks really rocked!! Ppl wanted to dance on the stage, but the DJ kept telling the ppl to get off the stage, he went like, "Excuse me, you ppl don't know english issit? No dancing on the stage!! Yeah, you down there!!Get down lah!!" In the end, they had to get one bouncer to stand there and look out... hehe... Those smoking on the dance floor got that from the DJ too... Ahaha... so funny to hear him say it in a nasal voice... And can I just say this... Khas, You got some groovy dance moves!! Esp the Wall Dance!! :) Just.... don't leave so many holes in the wall this time? Ahaha.... kidding!!
Anyway, we left at around 2.45... made our way to the Kopitiam where we saw.... Transsexuals!!! Argh!!! At first, Khas and I tot they were just women with big 'assets'... But when we passed by them and heard them talk, I nearly puked!! Their voices were so low!! Argh!!! Not that I'm biased against them but it's just that they looked so good... then you hear their voices and it's such a shock!!
Anyway, after that shock, we waited for the NR7 to go back home... I walked Val to her place where we found out that she'd been locked out cos someone forgot that she wasn't home yet... Arh!! I couldn't leave her outside alone, so we went down to the void deck and sat there... talking until her mother finally woke up and told her the door was open... hehe... Then I took a cab home and plopped into bed at 6.30... Phew... Long day huh?
Think I need to stop here... need to wake up early for my wisdom tooth extraction... *dramatic music* Yeah yeah... I know... I'm kinda scared too... Hate having ops done in my mouth... hehe... I'll tell you all how bad it sucks tmr... Hehe... See ya

The worst thing is that when I went back to camp, I found out that Youwei and Kaiheng both managed to request for GA!!! Argh!! Sian... Never mind, what doesn't kill ya will only make you stronger right?? At least I hope so... Hehe... Anyway, can't really write much anymore... Gotta run... I'll be back tmr anyway, then I'll blog about my clubbing on Sat... Hehe... That was SO fun!!! ;P Seeya!!

Nvm... I can't change a person's perception of me by grumbling about it... just keep on reading my posts if you want to know me better... I tell you, it's not easy... sometimes, I don't even know why I do those things I do... I don't want to dwell on this any more... Now, onto the day's events... Went for a sea sports club meeting today... we're in charge of the alumni reunion dinner this year, so tried to get as many things in order as possible... and I'd say that we made quite good progress... settled a few things, found that we needed to ask Mr Chew first... So we're probably meeting him next Sat to settle some things... After that, we went to TM to eat lunch... Tried the Omelette Rice... Kinda nice... Hehe...
Then I went for CG at church... saw a cool BMW over there...Hehe... I just love cars... Hee... :D Anyway, during CG, we learnt about pain and suffering, and what it means... And I realised that there really are reasons for why things happen, even if they're bad... because ultimately, it's for the best... Try looking on the bright side when things like that happen, it could be worse... And I also realised that God put us through these things to strengthen us in faith and character... that's y I've always wondered what would have happened if I didn't react the way I did... or if I did tell that special someone the way I felt... Would my life have been any different? Any happier? Then I realised that we can only be happier after we weather through these trials and in doing so, discover what we're really capable of... That's y I always remember this quote... "The BIG things are gonna come, you can't stop that, but it's what you do after, that counts. That's when you find out who you really are."
Then I also thought of relationships... I've had many frens who tell me that relationships are stressing, full of questions and little answers, arguments and fights... sure, there are the good times, but the bad times really take the ufn out of relationships... if that is so, then y do we throw ourselves back into relationships time and time again?? Just to get hurt again, go through the same pain as the last time, the financial strain, mental strain... Most ppl should know what I mean... Esp those with numerous failed relationships... I can't say I'm really experienced, since I've only had one relationship and we parted on good terms... But after hearing about all my fren's experiences, I start to wonder... Is the path to a blissful and happy relationship always full of hurdles and trials? I guess Kev gave me part of the answer when he said that Love is Blind... When we're in a relationship, the love we have for our other half blinds us, so much that we're willing to stand anything trial, just so we can be together... but once that initial so-called honeymoon period is over, the reality starts to set in and you start to question why you two ever got together in the first place... Difference in goals, conflict of interests, conflict of social life... all this starts to appear and you really start to doubt that he/she really is the One... I guess that's y it's really called 'searching' for the right person... you can't just think the first one is the right one...
Sometimes, when other frens, esp male ones, see me with my female frens, they get the wrong idea that she's my gf... but that's not true... I myself feel that they're just good company and what's wrong with enjoying each other's company, even if that person is of the opposite sex? If I tried to make every girl I've gone out with my gf, I'd probably be in my 4th relationship now... but I'm still very single... just not that desperate... Probably cos I sort of fear starting another relationship again... Don't really think it's worth it if I can't see myself in a medium length relationship with the other person... I don't really like short term relationships of 1-2 months... kinda makes me look like a playboy if I had a string of short relationships... I don't feel that I'm that kind of person...
Anyway, I feel now that my JC maths teacher was right... Start looking for your other half when you're in the U... that's when you know more or less what kind of a girl you want... So right now... I'm not actively looking for anyone... I'll just go with the flow... Get to know more frens when I go to the Uni...
Hai~... I'm tired... Not to mention kinda depressed after writing about this... Being single is kinda lonely sometimes... Anyway, before I go, I have to write about this... I was on my way home in the MRT when I saw this old man in the train, don't think he was drunk, cos he was walking properly.. but he was talking to himself, and what he said wasn't really gibberish... I remember one phrase, 'Lust is one of the 7 sins,' and 'Don't think you do all this can make you a hero'. When the train came to the station, we walked to the door and asked the perosn standing there, ' Do you think the doors will open for me?' That is really some weird s**t... Didn't know what to make of it... What do you think?? ;)

Anyway, when we were being checked at the door, Val got held back cos she looked so different from her bus pass photo... Haha... The bouncer actually had to REALLY make sure it was her... Poor thing... Then when we went in... the whole place so smoky... made everything look like it was in a haze... Val was complaining all the way... :P Then we went to meet the frens of her frens... said hi... sat down, contemplating what drink to get... She first time lah... everything also sua ku... hee... That night ah... Think was pop song night lor... all the songs the DJ play all sounded like they belonged to Perfect 10 instead of the dance floor... Hehe... maybe it's just me, cos obviously others liked what he was playing, the dance floor was packed!! Full of hot blooded males and gyrating females... Some, could really dance... but others, esp the guys... Looked like freakin' zombies!! You know the type... Move shoulders left, move shoulders right, nod head a few times, rinse and repeat... haha... Val and I had great fun just watching some of them dance...
Then there were the GOOD dancers... mostly female... Heh... Watching them was a blast!!! All that booty shaking... Mmmm... Hehe... Hey, I'm a guy, I'm entitled to a bit of oogling k? Anyway, shared a Vodka Lime with Val, then we decided to hit the dance floor when the right song came on... Dunno what the song was, but I preferred those with a faster and louder bass... hehe... The thing was, the DJ was mixing the songs everywhere, so there would be times when both of us felt the song wouldn't be good to dance to, and in the end, we went back to the table to wait, get a drink... You know... just sit it out... Hehe...
Then there was one song that I didn't want to dance to, but she did, so I let her go... and I only turned my back for a second... the next thing I know, she's dancing with another guy on the platform!!! Wahahaha!!! Wanted to join her, but there wasn't any space, so I just sat and watched... Very interesting show... hehe... That guy, whose name I found out later was Arthur, was really enjoying himself... I joined them later on the dance floor... Hehe... Quite fun sia... 2 guys and a girl... or as what Val said later... a threesome!! Wahaha... (Man... she's gonna kill me... Wahahaa... ;P)
Anyway, whenever he got too close, she'd roll her eyes and mouth to me, 'save me'... Haha... I had to tell him that she wanted to get a drink just to get her off the dance floor... Think he thought I was her boyfriend... Wahaha... I just love screwing with ppl who think that... And well... watching him dance with her, I did pick up a few tips... hehe... ;) Ok, enough of that part, anyway, if you look at the both of them, I'd say that she was actually leading him on... Wahaha... Ok, I'm really gonna get whacked by her... Ahahaa... Anyway, I also managed to see this one girl who was dancing up on the bartop... she danced until she got high and drunk... the guy dancing with her had to carry her down... they brought her up to the toilet to rest... and what do you know, 5 mins later, she's back dancing on the top again!! I really pei fu ah... Anyway, she was kinda good looking, and she always danced with a different guy... Hehe... one of them was actually touching her EVERYWHERE... Whoo!! Good show sia.. hehe...
Anyway, we left around 2.45... walked to find a 7-11 to get a drink, then took a snack at the 24hr Swensens.... Talked more there... and burned off the fries by walking all the way to Bugis before getting a cab... Hehe... All in all, I think I had 3 vodka limes and a Bourbon Coke... Hehe... Shared them with Val anyway... but I drank more... Hehe... Anyway, if you want to read more about it, I'm sure Val will be posting something about it soon... So, go HERE to read more!!!
Think I'll end here... that's enough experiences for today... Man, I really miss cheonging... Ahaha.... ;)

I really hate times like this, seems like Singapore is really getting overpopulated... can't even find a decent place to sit and hang out with my frens... And the gahment can still say our population growth is dropping... you know, I feel that besides the fact that ppl don't have the money or time to make babies, there's also one point being left out... that is, there's no FREAKIN' space!!! Not enough space to live, to eat, to relax, to shop... you get the idea... So if their population campaign is successful, we'll then face the problem of land shortage... Oh sure, we could always build taller buildings to house them, but what about Orchard Road? I'd really like to see how the architects can increase space in there... It's already cramped as it is... Traffic there is horrendous, human or otherwise... Of course, once the land issue is resolved, it might just mean that the population issue is back again, since ppl find not enough space to raise children and decide not to have so many... and again, it continues.. Man... Sometimes I just feel like immigrating... I just felt to down the other day, and after reading this it really perked me up... This , is how Singapore's population problem can be solved... Hehe... ;P
I though at least Choa Chu Kang would be better, it being a holiday and all, maybe most ppl would go into the city... but Nooo... It's just as bad as any other night at Lot one... On Tues night, I went to eat at Macs with a few frens and accompanied them to buy canned food for their Ophir trip this Fri... and did they buy a lot!!! Made the canned food we all broght for outfield look like a snack... Plus, they chose all the good stuff too... hehe... Hopefully, they can manage to carry all that and more up the mountain, esp with them all being injured and all; one just pulled out his wisdom tooth, another pulled his hamstring and another just injured his lip... So to Haojie, Hock and Gerard, good luck guys... and be careful of the centipedes there... they're HUGE!!!
Then after that, since I had nothing to do and it was too early to head back, I decided to walk around in Lot 1... and inadverdantly (maybe not... hee), I ended up at the arcade... Walked around to see the games, wanted to play Initial D, but there were ppl playing, so I just watched... And I saw 2 quite good guys playing the same track again and again, trying to clock better times... Funny thing was, whenever they couldn't make it, they'd scold vulgarities like CB! F***!, show the third finger... that kinda stuff... at the machine... like it was the machine's fault... I kinda pity it... I mean, you're not doing anything, just recording times, and you get scolded for it!! Imagine you're timing a race, and the racer who crosses the line misses breaking his record by a second... he suddenly turns to you and starts hurling vulgarities at you... How would you feel??? Poor machine...
Then, as if it can't get any worse... there I am, waiting there for 30 mins, just waiting for the guy on my Left to finish playing, he only had 2 bucks left... while the guy on my Right, just finished scolding the machines for the nth time... So R's had enough, he gets up to let his fren play... while I still wait for L to finish, then, when L finishes, before I can get my card out of my pocket, that idiot R rushes to the other seat and sit in it!!!! Bloody hell!!! And his card has like 20 bucks in it!!! F***ing hell!!! Now it's MY turn to start scolding... I couldn't do a thing cos he already put his money in and started to play... so I was calculating, on average, one game can last 11 minutes, multiply by 16 games (one game 1.22), I could be waiting for 2 hours+!! So, I did what any other guy would have done... walked away... hehe... went back to camp... slept early... ;) But really... it's amazing what some ppl will do just for their favourite game... I'm not the exception either... Calculating, I've spent about $700 playing Initial D... that's y I rarely play anymore... maybe just once every fortnight or something... ;)
Then on my way back to camp, I called a fren to talk, we talked for 1hr 40 mins, if my phone recorded it correctly... And I kinda remembered what I told me fren, tot it was nice, wanted to share it with you guys... And that is to be happy with what you have now, where you are now, and you'll go farther... Sounds weird right, but basically it means that to succeed, first you'll need to be happy with what you're doing and your position now... only then can you improve yourself and succeed further... That makes sense now? Hee... Think I'll stop here for today, before I make your brains explode from thinking too much... hee... cya...

Not going to write much today, kinda tired... been out since lunch... Took the MRT to meet Val, her parents and Kev at Clementi today for dinner... So suay, just left the house when it started to pour... Rained so much that even the MRT operator had to announce to us, "Due to the downpour, this train will be moving at a slow speed"... Sian... Rained so hard that the train had trouble moving off from the stations, like the wheels couldn't grip the rails... Train kept skidding to move off... I could feel it... scary 0_o... Hehe... in the end, we ended up back in orchard, slacking at the coffee bean near Forum... talking about everything... Relationships, nipple piercings (ask Val, hehe....), army life, friends, and I guess the most interesting topic would be restraining holds and how to break them, Kev learnt about them during training, I wanted to know more... Hehe... Thinking of taking up Jujitsu when I have the time... *thinking* "I know kung fu"... ;D
Guess I'm writing this cos Val wanted me to talk about squealers... Yes, those ppl who watch movies in the cinema and just HAVE to emit some high pitched squeal whenever something unexpected happens, even if others DO see it coming... I encountered a group of these teenage female squealers when I went to watch Butterfly Effect with Val the other day... Every little thing also squeal... See Ashton Kutcher, keep saying he so cute... Please lah... You want to find that kind of guy in Singapore, might as well stay a spinster... Better luck getting struck by lightning... ;) Kinda reminds me of the other time I went to watch Pirates of the Carribean with another fren... This woman a few rows down couldn't stop gasping at every skeleton in the movie... When the bony hand reached through the bars to grab Jack, she gasped; when they revealed that all of them were skeletons, she gasped even louder... I mean for goodness sake, it's not a horror movie, it's a freakin' action movie!!! I just hate to be interrupted when watching a movie... sheesh...
That's it for today... Can't take it liao... need my sleep...

Alright, enough of the tame stuff... I was cycling on my way back tonight and I was approaching the zebra crossing when something amazing happened... I had to stop for the cars at the zebra crossing!! Wow! Imagine that!! I've always wondered... Isn't it supposed to be that THEY stop for YOU?? I mean, I'm the pedestrian you know... I'm just a little 60kg piece of meat and bone... at most, if I hit your vehicle, it'll get dented... You're driving a 1000+kg piece of metal, going at at least 30km/h... if you hit me, I'll be dead!!! Get the picture?? So please, to all those drivers out there... please, give way to pedestrians... cos if you don't, I don't know HOW THE HELL YOU GOT YOUR LICENSE!!!!
Speaking of which, I know my frens have been telling me that my driving is horrible... and I agree... it's not the type of driving for passengers... It's actually the type of driving just for me alone... So I'll try to drive slower and more carefully next time... Leave the racing till when I'm alone... Not many ppl can actually stand turning a corner at 40km/h... Hehe...
Maybe I should just stick to public transport... you know... BMW... Bus, MRT, Walk... Hehe... Although each isn't with their cons... for bus, it's tolerating those ppl who won't move to the back... those aunties who slap the seats before they sit... and those kids who just won't keep still, think they're very good as monkeys...
Then in the MRT, there are still the aunties who slap seats, the monkeys and the ppl who don't move to the middle... then there are also the Neanderthals, the Wheely brats and my newest addition to the list, the Ringtoners!!! These ppl are really one kind man... I know, the MRT is quite boring when there isn't anything to do, and sometimes the trip can be quite long, but is there REALLY a need to keep playing ringtones from your phone the WHOLE trip at volume 5?!?!? I mean come on!! You can always lower the volume so that you don't irritate other ppl, but NO... it's always at 5... and if I hear another version of Pachabel's Canon again, I swear I'll just scream and smack the bugger... If you want to choose a ringtone, fine, I'm not stopping you, but really... at volume 5? You deaf ah? The whole bloody train can hear your 'mini concert' the whole time... and sometimes, those dance tracks or banghra songs are really irritating... Hai~... It's time like this that I would just prefer to walk...
Think I'll stop here now... real sleepy... until next time...

Ok ok... so life isn't fair... One more thing that isn't fair... Time... it's freaking 3.40am right now and I've got to get some shuteye... I'll do this again tmr... Zzzzzzzzzz....
you have just Slacked with Chris @ 3:50 AM
There's the Wheely brats, who zoom around everywhere on their stupid and sometimes pirated thick clumpy wheely shoes... They're like kids who are amped up on crack or something, whizzing here and there, paying no attention to the chaos and pandemonium they leave behind... I've already lost count of the number of times I had to stop by the tip of my shoes just because some brat thinks it's fun trying to be a speed demon in an insanely heavily populated department store... Freakin attention seekers... Going around on their stupid shoes, probably thinking, look at me!!! I can whizz!! Hope you guys slip and fall down some steps cos the idiot wheels in your heels can't grip for nuts...
Then there are the Neanderthals in the MRT... who think their balls are SO big, they have to sit with their legs wide apart... inadverdantly squeezing the two ppl on both sides of them... Freakin idiots... Your balls aren't THAT big so just close up your legs will ya?!?!? Give those who have average sized balls some space... Or maybe you can't cos it isn't that your balls are big, it's just that your ass and thighs have grown FAT... So fat that you can't close your legs without squeezing your balls and probably giving yourselves a voice like a pre-pubescent kid...
Not to mention the Rat packers who just like to sit down in front of the doors and place their huge bags and dirty stuff around them, depriving others of valuable standing space in a crowded MRT just because their skinny little legs can't take any more standing after a morning of soccer or basketball or whatever shit... Maybe next time I'll deliberately stand right in the middle of the pack and pretend not to notice them, or the fact that I'm standing on their stuff... ;P
Of course, these are just a few of the many types that are out there... And mind you, those are just the few that I encountered in the morning... There's definitely more to come...
Oh, before I forget, if there's one thing I REALLY cannot stand, it's abusive boyfriends... Saw a guy mistreating his girl today in Citylink Mall... But I couldn't really confirm it cos she girl wasn't making a scene and they were moving pretty fast to the escalator... Just saw that he was kinda rough with her... Maybe she likes it that way, I don't know, but if not, then that's one abusive bugger... Should be jailed with the rest of the ppl like him, and I'm talking about those molesters and rapists... They should be able to break his ass in pretty well... Hehe... Yes, I'm vengeful, so what? They deserve it... F***ing idiots, you're supposed to take care of your girl, not treat her like a punching bag!!! Just because you've got more mass and nothing much up there, doesn't mean you can do that!!! If it were up to me, I'd truss you up by the toothpick that you call a dick and leave you in the middle of Orchard Road!!!
Phew... Finally got that out of my system... On the brighter side of things, I went to the Education Fair at Suntec City today... Ran into 2 long-time-no-see frens... Had fun catching up with them... ;) Plus... got to see quite a lot of chio bus!! Whoo hoo!! ;P
Think I'll stop here for today... if I go on about the idiocy of Singaporeans, I don't think I'll be able to finish... Maybe another day... ;)
