the last post
i got my 350 win icon!! =) woot. happy happy. have been playing warcraft since i reached home yesterday, only stopping to watch tv (the chan 8 vball show at 9pm is damn lame la. and i never knew jade seah's nose was so big) and supper with the church guys. and girl.
thanks kel daniel nick cheryl timo pauline corn for coming out for supper!
Heh, dunno why i always like to have a 'last supper'. last time before i enlisted i also organised one at.. wendy's. that one had 12 people.
ok, i think it's starting to set in that I'M LEAVING TONIGHT. i've been keeping myself busy with warcraft and stuff to not think about it.. but at this moment, i've about 12 hours left in Singapore!!
ZOMG!
i'm gonna be flying overseas so far for the very first time in my life (furthest i've been was HK and that was ages ago when i was a little kid. ok i'm assuming taiwan is further than HK i'm not even sure of that)
by myself too! well ok, with army guys but.. without family members or closer friends la.
am i nervous? no, i'm apprehensive, scared, worried, anxious, etcetc.
lol. AHH. i can't believe i'm leaving TONIGHT. it's like, so soon. and .. it seems like i'm just gonna book in to camp lidat. but.. i'm not! i'm gonna be gone for 3 whole weeks and it's gonna be in an unfamiliar overseas place and looking at how it's been raining every single day, it's gonna be a terribly miserable experience. :S
okok, must not be so pessimistic, as everyone keeps saying. Must be optimistic! it'll be fun! exciting! interesting! enriching! life-threatening! homesick! terrible! ok that didn't last long
alright, i gotta go do the last minute checks and double checks to make sure i brought everything. i mean, it would be absolutely horrible to fly 192873 miles over (how far is it, really?) then realise 'ZOMG I LEFT MY UNDERWEARS AT HOME' or something like that. lol yea i think that would be the worst thing ever that can happen.
i'm not gonna publish post yet, ill probably have more things to write later in the evening , before i leave for the airport. it's only 12.55PM now. gonna meet bestie later =)
chowz for the moment
~~~~
alright, im back. had some nice cheese fries from beachroad + fried banana for lunch. lol how unhealthy i am. sigh ill miss my best friend. she's like the one person i can be 100% honest with and just bitch about.. just about anything. gah. 3 weeks!
ok, i'm gonna leave for the airport in about 45 minutes. gonna try the Popeyes which i last had like 12087 years ago so i have no idea what it's like now, but i recall loving it. hope i can find it!
BYE WORLD!

the (second) last post
this is probably my second last post before i fly off for taiwan, i'm anticipating the fact that i -should- post one more just before i live, e.g. friday morning/afternoon. This will be a pretty random post.. i have no central theme i have to blog about, just random thoughts that are floating in my head.
I think my movie taste is weird. Like, i seem to like movies that others don't.
The 3 most recent movies i've watched are Wanted, Prom Night, Never Back Down. Let's do a short writeup on each yea.
Wanted -
about the kid of a well-known skilled assassin who discovers his abilities and gets drawn into a ring of assassins. The show involves exaggerated sequences (e.g. being able to curve a bullet just by swinging the pistol in an arc, a sniper bullet being able to travel several kilometres, a bullet going one entire circle around the room) which i presume are done for slight humor.
The plot is pretty good actually, with a twist late in the show, and some decent action. Some critics slam the exaggerated sequences, but i thought that it was all intentional, meant for the weird sense of humor, just like the show 'Shoot Em Up' (which has the lead kill someone with a sharp carrot ^^ )
Prom Night-
An killer/psycho obsessed with a high school girl escapes from prison and stalks her at her high school prom.
IMDB.com gives it terrible ratings, 2/10 if i'm not wrong, saying that it's 'cliche' and uses lousy scare tactics, predictable.. etc
I, on the other hand, totally enjoyed it! The thrills were good and it kept me at the edge of my seat and the shocks did shock me sometimes. The only bad points are that the killer looks extremely harmless and his psycho look is far from satisfactory, he kills his victims waaay too easily, and there is not a single good looking character in the cast. (with the exception on one guy)
yup.
Never Back Down-
Lifted from IMDB.com:
"At his new high school, a rebellious teen Jake Tyler is lured into an ultimate underground fighting club in a Backyard Fight, where he finds a mentor in a mixed martial arts veteran. After receiving threats to the safety of his friends and family, Jake seeks the mentoring of a veteran fighter, to train his mind and body for one final no-holds-barred elimination fight with his unrelenting personal nemesis and local martial arts champion Ryan McCarthy"
A pretty good fighting movie with all the grappling and street fighting being well choreographed and stuff. Only downside was some highly unrealistic parts, like the lead being able to fight through broken ribs (and land a huge roundhouse kick, no less) and win the fight
Ah yes. so as the days count down to my fly-off, i try to enjoy every moment as much as i can. Yesterday i ate at AMK NYNY with winsome for lunch.. couldn't say i totally enjoyed the meal.
We ordered the Meat Platter, which has 6 ribs, 2 half spring chickens, 6 strips of chicken cutlet, wedges, 2 corns, baked beans. Everything was ok except for the ribs! omg, the ribs were terrible. they were totally dry, without any sauce or anything. and the texture wasn't nice.
then mahjong session was cancelled as supposedly everyone was tired.. :/ but i had a feeling that daniel wasn't exactly keen on it anyway and i assumed that he was. oh well. ended up playing PSP the afternoon while waiting for chris' tuition to end.
Was quite funny though, i was sitting at DhobyGaut MRT waiting for chris, then as i was playing this 2 ppl suddenly stopped in front of me. I looked up and it was teehao and hoiki! hahaha. how coincidental. Talked to them (or him, rather) for a while.. i love meeting friends. gah.
then had dinner @ fish&co glasshouse w bestie! i tried to be adventurous and ordered some teriyaki salmon thing.. not that it wasn't nice.. but i should have just gone the usual fish and chips! much nicer :)
talked with her for awhile after that.. gee i'll miss her.
i wonder what ill do (if) when she goes overseas to study next time after JC. it's gonna be so... weird without a best friend. maybe by then i'll have gf already then nvm hahaha. when i had a gf i really neglect my best fren sia. must make it a point not to next time round.
i'm gonna miss church! wont be around for 5 weeks! (maybe 4. depends how tired i feel on the sunday morning when i fly back. or if im still in one piece) gah.
pray for me alright. then i wont fall off a cliff, that i wont get bitten by a poisonous snake (maybe a minorly poisonous one so i'm like unconscious for the whole training part and i wake up during R&R hahaha) , my knees wont hurt too much, and that i'll be able to endure and survive through this phase.
time to eat dinner and bookin. baiz.

knees
it's really irritating yknow.
to walk about 10 steps or stand still for 5 minutes, then feel a weakness grip my knees. I continue with the 'exertion', if you can call standing still even a form of exertion, and a nagging pain starts attacking my knee caps. I don't rest my legs or at least kick them out to stretch them, it becomes a sharp pain poking at my knees.
this has been what i've been suffering from for the past 8 weeks. EIGHT. bloody hell.
i went to the physio this week, and she said that my kneecaps have partially shifted.. and that 'it's very common among army people'. yea right, i'm sure everyone feels like me.
She sent me for some further muscular tests next week, to better cater a rehab programme for me i think. she's nice. =)
i just wonder, how on earth do i go to taiwan and walk over 100+km with these knees? how do i walk 100km when i can barely walk 100m without feeling pain?
if i fall out again there, it's just gonna reflect badly on me. i already fell out of grandslam this week, and i know that people are .. envious of my situation. i mean, who likes to be worn out like a dog while someone else is relaxing?
is this going to happen again in taiwan?
it all depends on my knees
alright, right now, i shall focus on the present pleasures. tmr i'm gonna lunch at NYNY with winsome (yum!! cant wait to eat the mudpie) .. whom im treating :@ cos she's a poor sec school kid. and dinner with bestie @ fish&co! gah, miss talking to her. i think i'll probably chip in for most of the bill anyway.. she's schooling too and i dont expect her to pay so much.
ah yes, mahjong in the afternoon with dan and dunnowhoelse too =) hope i get lucky!
fun sunday planned ahead, hope it all goes well and good.

swansong
and i approach the last week of my existence here on this earth
what a slack week it has been. yknow the ultra tiring field camp that i was supposed to have? i reported to the army doc about my knee pains and i got to skip the whole thing. lol. i just came back from the physiotherapist, who referred me for another test on tues, and go back to her on wed.
SO, next week gonna be booking out quite abit. haha. my PC is going to kill me.
i'm going to taiwan next week! for army training. leaving on the 1AM flight on sat morning (so that's kinda like fri night 25th Jul, in case you're confused), so noone can send me off :(
ill be back in the wee hours of 16th aug (which is incidentally Raylia's birthday :) ) , around 4AM?
anxious? nervous? scared? apprehensive?
yes to all the above.
firstly ive never route marched since.. BMT? i skipped basically all the route marches here in sispec. dont ask me why. secondly i havent had a field camp longer than 4 days since BMT (which was 5 days) and in taiwan there's a 7 day field camp -_-
thirdly i've never been overseas since i was a little kid (went HK once, that's about it. exclude malaysia) , it's my first time in taiwan.
fourthly, weather is erratic there i heard, gonna be a real damper when it rains and extremely trying when it's scorching hot.
fifthly, (wow i've never heard of the word 'fifthly' before, usually when people go firstly... it ends by four) ill be gone for 3 weeks! thats the longest overseas time ever. and longest away-from-home-and-everyone-else time ever! wow, i'm gonna be SO homesick.
so many things to do this weekend. :/ must go out with as many people as possible, play enough warcraft to satisfy my gaming desires, CHANGE MONEY (troublesome thing :/ ) , think of what else to prep for taiwan. ETCETC. so far my whole of sun is booked, sat noon is booked. who wanna go out with me sat afternoon/evening/night? :p
mon is reserved for warcraft. wahaha.
oh yes, i have OFF DAY on monday. woohoo. so monday night book in.
sigh ok. im getting very tired just looking at the screen but if i step away from the comp now someone else is gonna use and i'll have nothing to do for the whole night. so. i dunno ill probably idly surf around and talk to random ppl online. chowz.

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than nowMercyMe - Homesick
(a beautiful song btw. i love mercyme, their songs are all nice)

classic
do you see the sidebar section over there ---->
Classics .. or favourites or whatever i called it? Those are previous entries that i thought were very well written or very funny or dunno what. i've been planning to update it for awhile, maybe i'll do it before i go taiwan.
anyway i just stumbled upon an entry which HAS to go up there. well, it'll be more funny for JC students as sec school ppl wont understand some parts.
It's really quite brilliant! like almost every phrase is a pun. haha.

i'm vain!
i'm in love with...
my pants!
Lol. ok probably noone noticed but i was wearing my new S&K pants to church today and it was so chio la!! i couldn't stop looking down at how nice it was. the whole.. design.. and colour.. was just so nice! i love it!
<3
it's great to have your own pay! it's like, so much more money than i had before and i can use it to buy new clothes, etc. i think by the end of army (or of this year) i'll already have a complete new wardrobe and all my old clothes will be thrown away, when previously i can wear a shirt for 4-5 years.
ok, maybe not 4-5 years. but you get the idea.
On a different note, i think Lincoln Mao is a damn good speaker la!!! seriously everytime he speaks i'll be paying full attention and he's the only speaker who can make me like..completely understand what he's saying.
His style is quite 'GP-style' actually. Like, he comes up with many examples to support his point, then argues it, then gives some kinda counterargument and goes like 'is this the lifestyle that we should pursue? of course not! etcetc'
I'm amazed by the number of examples he has though. how much research does he do ah? he probably gave like 20 examples/analogies in that short 20-30 minute sermon. totally relevant too!
random note - my bitcomet torrent is at 375kb/s! lol. ultra fast. an entire movie of 700+mb is going to finish in 30 minutes. pwnz.
my pants!

Samuel and Kelvin ftw
woot, i just bought a pair of brown S&K cargopants (ok i'm anyhow calling it cargo pants, i dont really know what cargo pants are) and it's super nice! Well i didn't have any other pants/jeans that weren't blue, (besides my old faded greyish-black one ) so i've been wanting a brown pair of cargo pants.
i really like Samuel&Kelvin's style.. their polo tees and pants all that all very nice. i think i'll go back there soon and buy a pair of shoes (after taiwan, if i dont find any nice pair in taiwan and i dont die in taiwan) and another pair of pants. and maybe some tees.
Oh, and i ate at Hip Diner USA.. which i strongly advise you not to eat at.
If you've never heard of it, it's a branch of Billy Bomber's if i'm not wrong. It's like made by the same people, so i suppose they serve the same type of food.
I ordered a BBQ Chicken thing... and when it came.. i was appalled by the ridiculously small portion!! it was like just this small puny chicken thigh (the L shape bone one is the thigh right? )
with some sub-par sauce on top, with mashed potato and some brocolli.
And it cost freaking $12.50!!!
walao eh!! gimme fish and chips from fish and co anytime la! at least that one is a HUGE portion. not like this cheapo hipdinerUSA. I thought was some kid-sized thing or what.
sigh, having a long field camp (4 days 3 nights. ok it's kinda short compared to the 9 day one in taiwan) this week, but the main sucky thing is that it's a very tiring field camp. have to do alot alot alot alot of digging. zzz.
i'm SO not looking forward to it.

anyway lijian just showed me this video which is a segment of So You Think You Can Dance.. an audition by this very talented (And doublejointed) popper Robert Muraine (a.k.a. Mr Fantastic if i'm not wrong)
He has such great showsmanship! i like the ending of this video it was super funny la! couldn't stop laughing. the way he interacted with Nigel (the male judge) was just damn funny!
someone has got to shut that loud lady judge up though her laugh is irritating. =X
pwnz.
talking about youtube... i can't believe i have 15 subscribers!!

I mean, my last video was like.. 6 months ago.. i dont have a recurrent theme for my videos (e.g. song covers.. magic..) but they're random videos. yet i've 15 idiots who subscribed? lol.
And i'm quite proud of my mario video which has 87,538 views!! it rivals daniel's best la! ok his best is 99k i dunno why that blessed be your name video has so many hits, but his 2nd best is lousier than mine! 81k only!
and he has almost 5k subscribers la!! haha. i so own right.
i feel bad for those 15 who subscribe.. and i wanna make a new video! but of what? i dont exactly have a camera phone to video (not that i use it to video anything, it's spoilt now anyway) and i dont have anything in specific to video. how?
think think :/

a turnaround
Dear Lord,
I'm tired of leading my own life
Making my own decisions, trying to choose my own path
It's so mentally and physically and emotionally draining
Lead me, be the King of my life.
Help me to accept whatever path you send me down.
Make the decisions for me and help me to realise any opportunities that you make available for me and grab at them immediately.
Take over of my life
All my injuries, my illnesses, i just raise them all to you
and choose what you deem fit to do with me
Just whatever it is, please dont let me suffer too much.
Give me the emotional support that i need through friends
Let them encourage me and motivate me
I surrender to you Lord
Amen.
~~
Uncle William in today's message: "Pray for everything, but be anxious about nothing"
Indeed, this struck a chord in me and i want to adopt this attitude in my life. For the past 6 weeks i've been worrying nonstop, and busy planning and thinking and stretching my mind wondering HOW to get out, how to get an easier posting, how to down pes, how to lead life the way i want!
It's SO tiring, and has caused me quite an amount of stress.
I've had enough of it. Today on the train on the way to camp.. i decided to say a prayer, something similar (but perhaps a little longer) to what i wrote above. I wanted to be rid of the burden of worrying what to do next, what to say, how to act, how to react.
I'm appealing to everyone to keep me to this promise - that i'll commit my life to God. Let Him decide my path, and to try to accept wherever he sends me. Send me SMSes of encouragement or motivation, or just talk to me once in a while yea? To keep me strong.
What made me have this turnaround? Well maybe it's the countless 'why are you doing this?' that i've heard. E.g, from weiqin, becky,my mom, others etc. Of course, they dont understand the rigor of army, but they probably also dont understand why many other people go through it while i want out.
Well, primarily, i'm lazy. But now my knees are quite screwed up. I was experiencing some weakness and pain since BSLC (March/April) , but it was an on/off thing. However, it is affecting me CONSTANTLY now. Like my knees always feel weak.. like the kinda feeling you get when you stand for 5 hours. I get it in 5 minutes. And i'll get some acute pains in my knee joints occasionally. I can't walk more than 5 metres without feeling a little wobbly at my knees.
So how? I've prayed about this, and i'm telling God - heal my knees by the time i go Taiwan, or don't let me go at all. I mean.. how am i going to walk 100++ km with these knees? I'll probably tear my muscles/ligaments by the end of it or something. Will he answer my prayer? I dunno. I haven't had major answered prayers in a while. :/
Ok for those who are wondering, I'm going to Taiwan on the 25th of July and coming back on the 17th of August. I don't know the flight times but i doubt anyone will wanna send me anyway (it's such a small thing! just 3 weeks training) so it's ok hor. besides my bestie who says she will send me off.
alright.. it's gonna be time to fall in soon. yup im using army com. keep me in your prayers yea. =) bye peeps.

anyway i took some random pictures.. wanted to cam whore but when i reached school i didnt have the.. camwhore-thickskinn-ness. you know, to ask ppl to take pictures to you need to like buay pai sei abit.
thus in the end only got one pictures with a person, which isnt even i ask one. she drag me to take. ha.
The artificial turf at the SAS side which everyone sees when you drive past from the PIE.
Link bridge betweeen SAS and SaJC.. and i caught a possible scandal?? hahaah. dunno la.
Shot of school from the bridge. i took this while on the move so i'm surprised it's only slightly blurred.
=)
Quite nice ah! i think i should be a semi pro photographer. muahahah.
me and dinosaur khoo wei ling under bad lighting.
aight that's a wrap. time to play warcraft or sth. btw they reset the ladder! so that means last time my rank is gone. i have to work my way up again. :/
