Happy 20th Birthday Chek Wun!

Heya.. going duty again.. been doing duty for 2 consecutive weekends.. quite sianz.. wad to do who ask me late for duty that day.. but i'm fortunate enough to serve my extra this month instead of next month.. if not i'll probably be at med centre watching ch5's or ch8's "CNY special" I'll be doing duty on chu san.. quite alright la.. at least is a normal working day but i bet everyone is going to take off...hmmphz.. starting to eat those CNY goodies liaoz..*YumZ*

Attended the commissioning parade at SAFTI last sun.. went with weiping's family and xuanzhi.. hmm it was quite an elaborated parade with proper fanfare band and even an religious blessing ceremony.. where representatives from the 9 main religions in Singapore gathered to so called "bless" the newly commissioned officers.. quite an eye-opener.. that was even a command for the parade to bow.. first time see this kind of thing.. met alot of familiar faces among the audience and graduads-a term they used. of course they were many proud parents embracing their own sons.. feel happy for you guys weiping(Congrats to ya!), william(welcome to tuas n cya there!), vernon(sword of honour winner! how zai is that!!)...blar blar many more..its definately quite an remarkable feat to go through the 10 months of torturous training and shit.. was also glad for weiping and xuanzhi who looked fine and happy together=)

bought the SHE vcd.. haha they're so cute! my fav MV had to be jing zhong zao tie bu shao and da nu ren zhu yi.. duno why i like this album of theirs alot.. compared to previous ones..

I'm thinking of taking up Jap again.. accompanied qw n kuah to this Cmabridge language school at Peninsula Plaza to enrol in basic Jap class.. so i shun bian enquired them if they have any placement test.. like see if i'm qualified for the intermediate class.. haha surprisingly they got their Jap teacher to speak to me on the spot.. den the next moment she was like rattling on and bombarding me in Jap.. hahaha i was able to make out wad she was saying and asking.. but it took me like ages and a tremendous effort to reply her qns in jap.. i was stammering and probably speaking very bad, broken Japanese..hahaha. jialat lei.. hahaha... fortunately she was very patient with me even when i blurted out some english words from time to time when i was so bekcek haha.. quite comical. Their lessons mainly focused on conversational Jap which many lang centres do.. anyway the intermediate lessons start in late mar.. so i shall see how till then.. for now maybe i should go take out my old textbooks to refresh.. hahaha

spend the afternoon revamping my blog at the medical centre.. yah duty again.. hmm "stole" somebody's design and used it.. haha cheapo rite. but i changed most of the wordings la. so it can still be considered my creation. liked the dreamy theme and mood it presents..

came back from Penang on tues morning.. docked at Changi instead of Tuas. there was this guy onboard that had high fever of 39.0 the night before and was allergic to Panadol.. haah because of him i had the chance to use the satelite phone onboard(theres no network reception out at at sea)to contact the MO onboard the other ship.. there isn't any MO on my ship. haha it costs US$19/min. cool stuff=P. anyway after some consultation with the MO,realised that i could do nothing much but to monitor and sponge that poor "brain fried" guy till we reach Changi.. so thanks to him I could escape the "customs check" and evac to med centre immediately along with my pirated dvds in my bag.ahaha

There's really nothing much at Penang.. was so bored by the 3rd and 4th day there.. btw we had 4.5 days of shore leave there.. freaking long. sat by the batu ferringhi beach like for an afternoon..ya the one swept by the tsunami... everything seems normal there, just that its abit quiet given its proximity to the beach resorts and hotels. could only see one or 2 chap parasailing.. and some angmohs sunbathing.. a couple of horses being strolled along the beach offering rides to tourists... bought some tau sa piahs,dvds,a mini mahjong set and some souveniers.. didn't spent as much as when i was in Pattaya even though i only had 3 days there.

going to see the OCS commisioning parade tmr.. Congrats to all the soon to be officers!! SIR! *salutes*

did the usual stuff on sat... played LAN.. hahah wads new on my weekends sia..hahaha.. dunnoe when will this DOTA craze be over.. soon i think..

went to j8 to cut hair and shop for some stuff.. it was SOO crowded.. hmm there was this performance think the organisation or theme is called SHINE or sth.. where dance/cheerleading groups from Japan, Korea, SG & Msia come down to perform... quite happening and interesting sia..Some of them r not bad looking..hahaha..

anticipating the RenCi charity show later... Ciaoz

Hmm going to sail again! Going to Penang for this Sg and Msia Navy Joint exercise from this mon to until 20Jan.. going to stay at Penang for 4.5 days.. quite shuang sia� but that means a higher probability to spend more.. think areas affected and damage done by the tsunami over there is kinda limited.. so that shouldn�t be much of a worry.. the only down side is probably having to sail on a MGB.. the smallest, lousiest class of ship that the navy has and is going to be phased out like within next two years. I�m betting on the fact that the sea state at straits of Malacca should be quite calm since is a non-monsoon period and there shouldn�t be any more aftershock or tremors. Hahaha hopefully everything will be fine.

Didn�t had a good start for the new year.. first day of work on Mon sign 1 extra liao�means having to serve 1 extra weekend/PH and 1 weekday duty� was late as I failed to anticipate the traffic congestion on first day of school.. stupid school kids.. I would have escaped the punishment if it was just any ordinary day but sway-sway I was on duty that day� arghz sian.. but luckily my extra will be served this month thus I�ll be spared for CNY.. heheh.

Think I�m going to buy the wu yue tian cd.. like the song called jue jiang.. otherx songs SHoULD be nice la.

Happy New Year to all� hmm just when everyone thot that 2004 was a rather smooth and fruitful year such a saddening and shocking thing had to happen� haiz wad a way to end the year man. Sighz. The overwhelming death toll and unimaginable extent of the tsunami damage is real scary.. to think that the navy regularly visits all these places involved.. Medan, Phuket, Penang, India and 2 of my fellow navy medic friends just came back from Medan a week ago� quite thankful that we�re all safe and sound here.. will be sailing to Penang next week for an exercise.. hope things will be fine over there by then. My senior medics flew off on thurs as part of the rescue medical team to Aceh.. and a few of us are on standby� had to stay back on thurs to screen and vaccinate all the crew of LST sailing to Medan/Aceh�200 over ppl.. as a result I couldn�t meet elvin sy yt u guys.. my apologies.. aye really count ourselves lucky to be born in disaster-free Singapore.

KungFu and Fockers are real hilarious.. though they belong to very type of humour. One is totally brainless and abit out-of-the-world..the latter is definitely more sophisticated and crude in a way due to its sexual references.. well maybe except for the part when the baby learns to speak his 1st word-asssshole. =P
