Bored to Death..(i hear a zombie moaning...oh i really should stop complaining..)

The door squeaks open and from the corner of my squinting eye i can see a wedge of light..
i reach out to the mobile-chair that i placed beside the sofa towards my Nokia 3100 and the time is 0530hrs..my gosh that person shall be Killed for disturbing my royal rest..

The next time i open my eyes is at 8 when i sit up from the sofa and realise that the lights are on and the room is empty~ barry walks in and by and asks if i needed anything from Endurance..he was on his way up for routine breakfast..

Time crawled as i tried desperately to find something to do..didn't do anything productive today outside watching GSD phase 7 & 8 AGAIN..yes.An indeed boring day..went upstairs at 12.45 to my Bed of Accumulated Textiles, both used and unused.My mattress was in that dire state cos of my uncanny ability to chuck ALL my stuff on the bed since i slept in the office..thus, i spent 3mins dragging all the material into a 'neat' heap at the corner of the mattress before concussing..TRIED to sleep at 12.45 but i just couldn't dose off..i woke up at 3.15 to take a afternoon crap before heading back to pay my respects to my bed..still couldn't get any sleep so i gave up at around 4.50 and i headed down to the office to read more of Thirteen Steps Down..

even though i had nothing to do, whenever anyone knocked and entered the office for this or that i just couldn't be bothered to help or answer them..when they left i was rather satisfied seeing their backs..yes i was in that kinda mood..lethargic like hell.sigh..wasting my life away yet again..shoulda brought in more CD-Rs to burn..
didn't exercise at all today..growing FAT..*sobsob*
whatever..
can't be bothered now..

Singapore beat Myammar 4-2 just this evening..kudos to the Mighty Cubs..oh sorry, Lions i meant.

wonder if i can sleep tonight..
sigh..i wanna go home..or at least go out..
sigh..

Boxing Day!!

Dear diary~
lalala talking to Gin on the phone now..

actually i'm rather ticked of cos of what she did the other day,...

i called her cos i needed someone to talked to and she was busy and i was like 'ok bye'
then she got angry and said something mean and then i got pissed off too..later she said she was angry cos of the way i said ok bye..sheesh! she was the one who said she wasn't free so i was just letting her off the hook! and it sucks to know you've got a best friend that isn't free when u need her~
talked to kenny about it too and he said that maybe that's the way that best friends are..i truly doubt that~cos under the same circumstances i would've MADE myself free if i wasn't free at the moment~
sigh then i guess not everyone's the same~

okie~enough bitching already..

this years christmas was pretty good cos i managed to catch up on some quality family and relative time! Since i enlisted i've been like more and more independent which is good, but at the expense of my family, which is catastrophic~

anyways,
i've seen the light and silently hoping that this homey aura will be about this NewYear too~

now it's GundamSeedDestiny time!
crono's burnt whatever that is out of it!
gdnite!~

Busy Days

busy busy busy busy busy~~~

had to wake up early for a catastrophic CO parade..Right after that had to go up to HQ to collect Newspaper, 5 TRS comms sets, send Parade state, Prepare for the 8KM route march, March 8KM, Follow Rec Goh Guohui to the medical centre after he had suffered from exaustion and heat cramps, rush back to return the TRS sets, Change bedsheets, Call recruits on medical leave, prepare an emcee's speech for LifeRun, Go and emcee for the LifeRun, Return back for dinner,...sianz....luckily i had assistence from the standby COS~

anyways..tomorrow's christmas' eve eve and looking forward to it so much~!!..
sigh..that sounded so lame..but whatever, so everyone go ahead and dive right into the christmas Spirit!!

still got a few more presents to buy so howhowhow?!?!?!
dunno what to get,..nothing seems suitable now..but that's always the problem during christmas..sigh..
i've spent so much money over the past week that my bank account is nothing but a blighted potato field..or maybe just a shadow of that..

where has all the money gone!~?
down the chimney! now that's another lame one..
haha..sigh..this is SAD..

It's about time i conceded that at times i'm just imagining things to cheer myself up or pull myself out of the pits..once and again i've lived on hope..hope that things may change, or at least revert..once and again i find myself living in a web of boredom,..within,my heart is searching..searching and searching and seeking and seeking..like a consuming flame, this thirst is withering me like a preserved plum.

again the multi-faceted faces of life has degraded into a black-hole of bleakness..
this paradigm shift has happened one too many times and i'm starting to wonder, just how long before i actually reach the end of the tunnel..if it even exists.
Perhaps.Since the ever jubilant and optimistic Lieutenant Kenneth is breathing evidence.And waiting in line to use the com~

Yours Sincerely.
.the Disillusioned lifeform.

i'll scratch your back if u scratch mine

lazy to go for colours this morning so i gave the recruits area cleaning and stand-by-area at 8am..they certainly made no complaints so i guess it's a win-win situation~

woke up early this morning at 545am to bring them for breakfast too so hopefully i get to catch up on some sleep later..probably take a nap since i've some DI rest, then go for a swim..hope there's some sun l8ter..

feeling full of emptiness now would ya believe it?
just one big black hole within my heart~
neither here nor there..again i'm just existing..

sweet dreams are made of these......nite~

Love-

Love is just so Amazing.

You twirl a pen,
when it falls from your hand,
you've no idea how it'll land~
that's love~
just hope it'll mend~

it is such a strong word~
love overcomes all-
It is so beautiful-
what else could bring tears of both joy and sorrow all at the same go?

Not seen her this happy for so long-
It sure stings but seeing her so happy heals everything..
it warms my heart-
the cheerful eyes and girlish giggles-
it takes away all the pain-
yet it stings and singes-
what a wondorous emotion-
She's so beautiful~
She's so lovely~
her happiness is my own~
yet i feel so alone~
oh so lonesome~
So many tantrums~
She's so crazy~
She's so bossy~
That's just so me~

She's so happy~
and so am i~
i've moved on~
that is no lie~

but late at night~
the clock winds back~
think just a slight~
and i get so so sad~

Love is so beautiful~
It heals, yet it chides~
Thrills, yet it's blight~
Weak, yet it's might~
Just a glimpse, but it's so bright
And it can last you all the way through the night~~~

iPod or LifePod?

sigh..talking about materialism, i just reserved an iPodMini..i'm going to splash out 390Bucks for that..makes me wonder what i'm turning into~
seems as though i can't live without the ipod..i neeeeeed it..sigh..

i miss gina,..she'd be able to talk some sense into me~

Donuts for supper tonight, but i'm in no mood to eat..

feeling kinda empty all over again..what's life about again?
haha, on current grounds,
obviously,
it's an iPod.

gotta shake outta this soon~

Life's A Learning Journey

today i'm on duty and so much i've learnt~

sometimes it ain't always practical to play by the rules~
sometimes when rules are bent, effeciency is optimal~
sometimes more things are learnt when the rules are broken~

sigh..had an interesting chat about signing on with one of the recruits~
he told me he was bent on signing on and i thought he was way outta his mind~
i felt that 2 years of slavery to the army was much more than i can hardly handle currently..thus my puzzlement~

he rebutted with saying that he "wasn't like me got education" so signing on is not bad..
how ironic that he said he really regretted not studying hard~ my insensitivity i'd do anything to take back, sensing the bitter hopelessness in his voice~ army was like his ray of hope~sigh..
how shallow of me..silly,self-centred,me.

took my guys out on a run too~
kinda proud of myself cos even though my guys weren't the fastest, we sure sang the loudest and though it was tough, the spirit was high after the run~
allowing them to sing any song they liked, make any noise they wanted too, i simply demanded they made noise~ alot of noise~ especially when encountering the odd good-looker servicewoman~heh
it was fun~ and the experience was great.

just came back from playing soccer..and it's kinda late now cos i gotta bring the guys for breakfast tomorrow..sigh..

when i got posted here i expected something really slack~
but i got something better,
i got something really tough~
cheers-

Materialistic?

into the distance i see my 350bucks wisp away on colourful wings..floating, dissipating..alas, it's gone~

not too long ago (10th) i received my monthly allowance but now it's back down to a meagre 100dollars from 7..
it's not really me to be complaining about finances yet such a calamity has set off the alarm bells ringing in me..perhaps the christmas season is an excuse, and this is but a false alarm,but i can't kid myself..christmas isn't about pampering oneself.

i swear that i had to strap myself down from getting that 169dollars C.K. T-shirt..sigh..

isn't it funny?
nowadays we seem to pay more for less material, and yet we're termed materialistic..

sigh..it's been more than a week since i last blogged, and so much has come to pass~

My ex has been calling me, and just telling me how sad she is, wthout telling me why..wondering how she really is cos she isn't one to speak her problems cos it troubles her too much and no one solves her problems for her..i guess my way of sweeping problems under the carpet isn't suited to her type of problems, and i really wanna help but she just cries and stays silent apart from the periodical "i'm sorry i shouldn't've called"s..

just wanna wish her some peaceful solitude and perhaps i'll get the chance to tell her how much i've missed her and how much i haven't, as well as tell her that nothing in life is certain..On top of that, it should be noted that being alone is sometimes better than being in the company of certain characters~

if she ever reads this, she'll understand that there's nothing to feel bad about and lonliness is but an experience too~
an experience that i'm not sure i could live without~as it's said that without lonliness, one never understands the true meaning of company~

hey girl just take a step back and look around you~ smile if you feel like smiling, but please sulk and cry if u have to~ cos it's unhealthy keeping those kinda emotions inside~and please dun be silly and feel shameful about it~

KennyKoh.Now you have one big serious problem~love is all around. and to Love someone doesn't require you to have the love reciprocrated. in fact it's a big problem if u EXPECT the love reciprocrated. cos that isn't real love is it?
what's the point of giving something and expecting something in return?

Peace to everyone on earth.

god bless~

When The Sun Shows Its Face

Slept early last night so i had a few unread messages stashed in my phone..the first was from my ex which was rather sweet, the second was insignificant, the third was a friend cancelling tickets for zouk out, the fourth and last was from another fried saying the ticket was ready and cannot be cancelled..which is a little crappy(damn fucking crappy)~

The sun shone at 1 for the first time in days, so my mates and i decided to follow the recruits for an afternoon swim, since they had training to attend. It was awesome feeling the cool waters on a sunny day but my attepmt to get tanner failed miserably.. did manage to clock in a few laps though which instills that believe in me that i can actually get back to vintage best~ which is really damn vintage now..

Also saw a pretty cute girl behind company line too~ which is really like finding a swallow in winter..

i miss home..i need to be home real soon~arghh..
at least i've got some emotion worked up rather living in some kinda neither void a few days back..

and i realised that my abs is now turning loving the peace and turning into some kinda united-nations committee..which is kinda sad..reallie regret those $1.95 double cheeseburgers now..which is totally gay~ but whatever..

my friend(barry) is kicking the ball around in the office now trying to emulate Zinedine Zidane..however he seems to be insulting the great man..sigh..damn the ball is really damaging the room..

haha
later..got a friend to take care off..

A Myriad of Feelings

i was the earliest up today at 7.20(WoW..)

and came visiting me was 15 recruits who wanted to report sick..
definitely an issue considering there are only 44 recruits on course now.
Not to mention that today was considered a tough day because of interval and circuit training~

never felt such rage against the recruits since i got posted here..
it was an awkward feeling..speaking to them was weird too..some of them were really walking wounded, others were not..tough to pick the right words to sting the malingers yet ease those who were really injured,..at that moment, for the first time towards the recruits, i was a little lost for words. Powerless to help, powerless to guide~ Angry, Frustrated, sympathetic, twisted..am i being biased? Am i being insensitive? i don't know..

maybe it's an okay morning..but somehow,
the breakfast didn't taste as sweet..

Outdone Myself

Totally proud of myself for actually getting off my lazy ass~
i did indeed go for a few laps this afternoon~better still ran two rounds around the camp which would be like 3.2km and just came back from playing football! that would mean i've outdone myself totally haha..

i love sports~
only when i'm active does my heart beat life~


Kinda late now though~ and tomorrow is office duty for me(life is never fair)..
sigh..
what's in stall for me>? what's in stall for my future>?
can something please ease my inquisitive mind>?
someone patch the holes..fill the gaps..build the bridges so i can cross to the other side..i want to know..i need to know..is this but a phase of growing up?

Shit I'm Late

8.45 am and i'm rudely awakened by the piercing resonance of a metal cupboard slamming,..
i sit up and my vision is partially blurred as i reach across and retrieve my glasses from the top of the Mahjong table.

Time for the recruits' first lesson of the day, "IA and Stoppages"..
Time for me to get up..
cos i'm supposed to conducting it.Shit i'm late.

i'm not on office duty today so i'm attempting to break through this constant web of larthargy existing in my life right now...going to lug myself down to the poolside later to do a few laps, if i can actually be bothered to get up from this really comfortable seat~(never felt this comfortable before i thought about going for a swim..guess that's evidence that i really need to get moving a little..)

everyone's gone for lunch but i don't quite feel like eating today..
It's weird, this feeling inside..
The hollow within my heart seems to be sucking out the emptiness within my stomach..
don't know if it's detrimental..
don't know what's happening~

My current purpose in life?
It is but a reflection of emptiness..
