Another month has passed. Haha. Life's been pretty ok. Another month closer to my ORD! Haha. That's the most motivating thing in life now bahz. Haha. Alright. Oh I'm finally CPL PS TAN! Haha. Yes finally. They refuse to let us take IPPT at the 1 yr mark. So ended up dragging for a long time. Haha. ATP's done too. Didn't get marksman. But oh well, haha.. It's ok. Oh and finally done sending my vehicle to preservation le. It's a traumatising experience. Weeks of breaking track, due to the very very limited manpower. And the washing, greasing and everything. Pretty hard work. Oh and not to mention, the statements and settling of OVM. More than glad that everything's almost done. Oh and I guess hard work brings out the ugliest side of people. There's the "stand there looking at the sky and I don't feel guilty even if the whole world is working" look, the "I'm supposed to book in at 8am so if 8am then start work, then I should just excuse myself even if I reach early" attitude. Oh there's also the "I tell you straight in the face that I will report sick tomorrow even if I'm not sick coz I don't wanna work.. and you can do absolutely nothing about it" attitude. In NS, it's really discouraging even if you try to do your best, coz no one else gives a damn. People there tend to be fake to some extent, and weirder to a much greater extent. Some times you wonder how these people will survive in the corporate world that's waiting for them, and it makes you worry for your future. Imagaine if your colleagues are all like that. If working in NS for 2 years is bad enough, imagine many more years in the working world. Gosh. This is depressing. Was talking to a friend about it. It's sad. It's quite a common phenomena, no matter what level of management you're at in NS. It just proves my belief that signing on is simply not my cup of tea. And I've made the right choice.

But then again, on the positive side, it can't get any worst than that.

Hmm.. what else.. Oh yes, Went night cycling for the 1st time. Haha. With TMS people. It was a damn tiring day sia. Went for 10km run with my dad in the evening, before going for like an almost 40km cycle. Haha. But it was great fun though. Haha. Haven't gone out with them for quite some time le. It's really fortunate to still be in contact with friends many years after graduation. Haha. Oh and the youtiao and soy bean milk at geylang is pretty good! Haha. Great.



Oh and regular meet-ups with JC peeps. Haha. I'm so sorry for yesterday! Pangseh-ed ya guys! Was damn tired and wanted to book my driving. But something unfortunate happened. Oh wells. Wasted trip. And you guys never tell me you all going shukodu! If not I would have flew there! Haha. Hmm.. Now I'm hungry! Haha. Lets organise another foody outing! Haha. I so crave for good food! =X


Just went Parkway to get CD's. Bought Tank's new album 第三回合,and Rainie's album 半熟宣言. Bought the latter since it was on discount and quite worth it. Haha. Both albums are great, especially Tank's 全世界都停电, Rainie's 带我走 and 冷战. Haha. Niceeee. Tank has been MIA for quite some time due to health problems and stuff, but this album's quite worth the wait. Oh and Rainie's move away from her cutie-pie image and moving on to a more mature lady is indeed encouraging with improved vocals and style. Niceee. Haha.

Oh from the crowd at Parkway, I really can't see that Singaporeans are badly hit by the economic crisis. And so much for the H1N1 swine flu. What the hell. Haha. Crowd plus confined space equates to excellent proliferation and infection of viruses. Haha. But whether there's the swine flu pandemic or not, I hate crowds. Oh well.

Oh and the Black forest ice blended coffee from The Coffee Bean tastes absolutely weird. Haha. Still prefer my white chocolate ice blended coffee. LOL. Ok totally random. Haha.


Tank's 第三回合


Rainie's 半熟宣言

Ok nowadays training for Army Half Marathon (AHM). Haha. Have been trying to diligently run regularly. Started off this week with 7km runs on Tues and Thurs, followed by 10km run on Sat. Haha. Really tiring sia. But I guess it's a dream I really want to accomplish, to run a full marathon preferably by next year. Haha. Really shagged out. Haha. The initial stage of running is tough, but around midway through, it gets really mechanical and that's when it gets easier. Haha.

Oh and sadly I didn't get either the Firefly or NUS scholarship. Sad lah. But what I guess it's just too bad. Haha. Didnt get apply for the others because I feel that the job commitment attached to it is more important. I don't wanna get bonded to something that I don't like, or at least don't see myself working as in the future. Haha. Nothing much to get upset about. NUS is more than fine with me. Haha. Oh and I can still support myself coz it's local studies. So I'm really fine with it.

Wanna start planning on my ORD holiday soon. Haha. The economy's pretty bad, so I guess travelling wouldn't cost as much as before. Perfect. Haha. Taiwan? HK? Korea? All's great. Haha. Start planning! Haha. Oh and gotta start revising some of my work soon. If not how am I supposed to do relief teaching after I ORD? Haha. Things will only get better. I hope. Haha.

Alright, so much for now.

Oh and Happy 20th Birthday Betsy!
