its been a long while since i've talked about anything other than army really. and having watched the manchester derby last night, i think i've to talk about how awesome a player rafael da silva is.this is rafael da silva. honestly speaking i think that even at the age of 18, he's good enough to call the right back position his own at the moment. gary neville might as well just retire now and

and so, yet another milestone has been reached in life. 6 months and counting into national service and my trainee phase of life is over.while some of you out there might not actually believe it but i actually managed to become platoon best for my course. and i'm not afraid to say that i'm immensely proud of myself. its more of personal pride more than the showing off kind if you know what i mean

ignore the mind-blowingly hot leighton meester (if that is even possible) and you will see how classy mr chuck bass is.sheer class. undoubtedly my favourite character on the show. after S and B of course.

the end is near. the end of my trainee days is coming! just one more month to passing out and i'm done with trainee life. life's tough when you're at the bottom of the food chain and seriously, its more of a struggle more than anything else down there. but i'm starting to see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. fascinating stuff this singapore grand prix business. i was quite excited

it has been a week of realization, revelations. mostly bad/unhealthy ones. things are getting slightly ludicrous. a spider spinning its web on the ceiling of my bunk cost me 1.5 hours of my civilian life. awesome. just awesome. sometimes, the injustice which is so apparent in our every day life just overwhelms me.

been reading a lot by my standards of late. its a healthy habit. keeps my mind active. i like it. life has been... neutral. no rollercoasters of any sort. it has just been plain-sailing. no choppy waters, no turbulence. its almost become boring. of no meaning. and so i start to think a lot. too much for my own good. on bright, sunny days, i get all cheery about things and on dull, cloudy, ominous

i have decided i need a long post to keep this thing going. somewhat like a dialysis treatment for a kidney patient. to flush out the shit i've been posting. only thing is, this is probably not gonna be any better than shit.so 8 weeks. wouldn't say it has been quick. wouldn't say it has been painstakingly slow. it has been beneficial to me. i've become a whole lot fitter, a lot more knowledgable

first things first, i know my blog is starting to become my army diary of some sorts. ironically, i am suppose to keep one, only the one i'm suppose to keep is in my bunk and i rarely take it out to write in it. and hence, this becomes the substitute. on to slightly more interesting stuff that people might actually be remotely interested in (me.

and sooooo, week 5 is gone. it has been a relatively uneventful week with only 2 somewhat major events.i'm happy i managed to break the 10 minute barrier finally. 9:47 for 2.4km. a personal achievement that i'm proud of. thursday was quite shit. but all's good.next week will be spent on an island where i stayed for the first 2 months of my ns life. wish me luck.

three months in and i can safely say im still not entirely used to my loss of freedom. nevertheless, the thought that everyone else is going through the same thing as me brings some sort of comfort to me. knowing that i'm not alone in all of these brings strength when the chips are down. 3 weeks down, with field camp up next and i would have reached the halfway mark. i have no idea whether to

and so block leave is reaching the point of conclusion and i have to say i enjoyed myself a little too much. not that enjoyment overdose is a bad thing, but this little window of make-believe that army is but a distant memory can be a double-edged sword. i, for one, am dreading the idea of reporting to pasir laba camp on monday morning and getting prepared to stay in for the next 5 if not 6

the past week has been a week of realizations. and just to name a few for "fun-sies",1. i can never be a LEGENDARY, awesome oozing dota player.2. italy causes me to lose my income.3. turkey have the luck of the greeks.4. mahjong is the single most awesome, intense and LEGENDARY game invented by the chinese. who gives a hoot about chinese chess and backgammon and whatever other nonsense they came

and so 2 months in the army has come and gone. it probably is an understatement to say that i've learnt much in this 2 months. it has been enjoyable, much better than what i had initially expected.i remember enlistment day, 9th april. my whole body was filled with dread and fear. the day of reckoning had come and well, i was not prepared for it. i must say being posted to leopard coy has been

i like long bus rides.sitting alone with music playing while you stare out of the rain-streaked window, watching people pass by. nothing seems to matter during that period of time. as if time stood still. no, i am wrong. nothing matters during that period of time. its just you, the music and the passerbys. and for the entire ride, you forget about everything that bothered you.only for everything

reading my blog archives made me realize how much i've changed in these few years. for good or for bad i can't decide but i'm pretty sure i'm satisfied with the person i am now. and while the next 2 years would be nothing but a transition period, i hope i'll get to learn more about myself as a person. in just 1 month, i dare say i've learnt a few things about my character already. they say field

its been more than a month now since the day my hair was chopped off. it has been eventful. while some parts may not have been relatively pleasant, it has been better for me compared to what others are going through. 2 impt parts of bmt is over and ippt is the only one left.boy, will i never forget the feeling of proning in shin high muddy water.

the feeling of knowing that you'll be going back in a few hours is probably one of the worst feelings ever. i'm not saying that life there is awful or anything, in fact i guess its probably better than what most have had. its just the fact that you are going back to becoming the lowest life form for the next 5 days is very depressing.

so i finally sat down for an hour and packed my very untidy table. it was a rather painful hour. every piece of paper laden with notes, scribblings, calculations had some form of memory behind it. the long hours spent in the library, the amount of effort i put in were just some of the sacrifices that i made so that i could do well for the alevels.but alas, all for naught.

ohmyson the results are gonna be out in the next week. there's no running away now since it HAS to be next week. frankly, i don't want it to come back because i like my status quo. and it will hurt so so bad if i did badly (touch wood, plastic, metal) because it would have meant all those long days spent at the national library would have counted for nothing. E for Effort. nehneh. A for Affort.

i think she was excellent in juno and she looks great here as well.for once, ivan has got it right. hahaha. in the meantime, i'm peeved that prison break's season finale was episode 13 which meant that the show ended so bloody abruptly. so now, i'm watching house from the start and i'm gonna start on season 2 soon.a month or so to the end of meaningless existence.

chinese new year wasn't that fantastic this year. perhaps its because it bears less significance since school is out and that long break which everyone craved has become part and parcel of my life now.i'm feeling rather nolstagic at the moment and chinese new year always brings back memories of my grandparents. it has been almost 5 years since the passing of my grandparents and before that, every

and so the weekend has come and gone. although it didn't bear much significance to me, it did for many others as it was the first bookout for all those who enlisted in january. that included many of my friends and i was happy for them that after 2 weeks, they were back in civilisation.met up with dom on saturday night. and like i thought, many army stories were shared and some of the time, it

it feels weird that half the world is enlisting in january while i'm stuck till april. i wanted to enlist in april but somehow by some cruel twist of fate, many of those whom i'm close to ended up enlisting in january. so now i'm left with a few friends but they are busy most of the time so basically i'm left to rot for the next three months.I NEED TO GET A JOB FAST.preferably something exciting,

i can't believe what is happening to my life or what is going to happen to my life. the subject i had most confidence of getting an A in just gave up on me. it just didn't work out today. i was prepared. i was quietly confident and yet somehow i managed to sabotage myself again. seriously, what must i do to do to walk out the exam hall feeling optimistic of results day? my future is hanging in

watching the re-run of arsenal vs sparta prague made me have one of those 'damn im born in singapore' moments again.in other words, you know this is gonna be a whiny post so here i go.i really don't want to take the a levels.ok, to set the record straight, this is prolly the most prepared i've ever been for any examination (maybe except for psle) but then, the competition is crazy ass fierce. it

it has been a sad week for english sport. on the verge of gaining qualification to euro 2008, they self-destructed in the second half against russia thanks to fat paul.this, my friends, is fat paul.a few days later, england's rugby team crashed to a defeat by south africa. a game with no tries and a lot of penalties.AND yesterday, mr lewis hamilton had everything to lose and he did lose

so the journey as a student officially ended on 12th october 2007. no, i wasn't filled with emotions or whatnot. i was kind of relieved that i've reached the end of my schooling life before i realized what was to come (stupid mindef letter).the past 12 years as a student has been bittersweet, especially the last 4 years. i remember back in primary school where one teacher would teach us english,

the reason why i watch rugby for 10 minutes.inspiring stuff. watch how they stare down the french and how chabal aka caveman from france stares back in return.this is the caveman in case you can't figure out who he is.i have been lacking motivation to do work for the past few days for some unknown reason but i am glad that i sat down and did math today which to a certain extent, shed some light
