it should have been settled already...
but why of all times now...? there was a sense of disappointment at how everything had played out... why couldn't things stay status quo...? and out of the blue i had to have THAT dream... the dream that would seal my thoughts... my feelings... and determined how i reacted to things... why of all times now?
never more have i wanted to be different.... WRONG!... never more have i PRAYED to be DIFFERENT... some one good enough... it just isn't being fair to me at all... i put in my all... and more than that...
CONFIDENCE? not gonna help you one bit... damn that dream.... it hurts my friend... it hurts...
but it's simply my fault... my faulty days of purpose...

transitions...
well... so if there's no major mix-up and everything goes "well"... i'll be posted overseas in feb... not exactly keen on it... but it doesn't matter what i think right?
was kinda looking forward to a nice ending... and i couldn't even get a scene right... a simple request unfulfilled... not many chances left...
i seriously thought you would feel that little bit... i was wrong... i hate to be wrong...
transitions... transitions... my friend... know your limits... it's always been better that way...
note to self: have a look at the path you walked... realise how dumb it was?
just how much to hear those words... would be my perfect ending....
could i have a highway chance pls?
figured.
enjoy my favourite song...

if every week was like this....
what the title has to do with the entry i really don't know.... but i'll change it when i can think of a better one...
so the last few days have been quite ok... catching up with sleep... catching up with anything other than tekong... enjoyed myself mostly... being away from tekong does have its perks... i'll do a quick summary of the last few days...
friday
lunch with shawn... ordered the thai set meal for 2... but he doesn't take the tom yam soup... and he didn't really eat much of the rest of the dishes either... but the fish was nice...
then it was IMM with benjamin and daniel... didn't buy anything 'cos nothing caught my fancy... think they felt a little bad because i didn't buy anything... but really la... uncle tastes... don't see anything nice... maybe i need help... then on to dinner... took pictures of the food... (wadever for?)... and then home sweet home...
saturday
catch up on sleep... CHECK.
monday
HITMAN... MR 47... went with clem and reu to watch it... nice to finally see a proper game hero on the big screen... personally i thought it was quite nice... but they changed the base story a little.... it's clones la... not unwanted children... and it's a tad overtly bloody... anyways hope they do a sequel... then played daytona for a while... lost all the rounds... but it won't be that easy next time...
tuesday
fell sick... coughed till had chest pains... so slept through most of the day... peroidically waking up for a game of dota....
rewind to sunday
no... i didn't forget sunday... just thought it'll be better placed last...
went for chinese service... no translation... so didn't really get most of what was being said... but it was nice for a change... kinda refreshing... seeing a different praise and worship... even if it was for one song... eh... whose fault ah?
after service... went down to pkc with eileen to pass some time... waiting for her grandparents for lunch... said my hellos to the people there... nice to see most of them again after missing church for 3 weeks... suddenly everyone gave me some weird stare and head movements as if to ask...(ok some did actually ask)... "eh, who's that? your gf ah?"... i tried my best to reply with a look on my face which i hope signaled..."duh... no la...of course not... she's only here to find wen jing"... sheesh... the conclusions people jump to just because things happen slightly differently... strangely... i saw some of them heave sighs of relief after that... i wonder why....
proceeded to lunch... tried to eat as quietly as i could... faced down... grandparents asked questions... i answered where i could... the grandmother even said she carried me before... but of course wrong person la... grandfather talked about difficulties serving God 'cos you do have to deal with Man at the same time... then they asked about my parents and stuff... i nod.... and eileen goes... "i've never seen your father before..." oops... okay... here's where i have to apologise for misrepresenting myself... it's sort of easier to just nod and "hmmm..." your way through... rather than explain things out (in CHINESE mind you)... i seriously seriously seriously forgot what "divorced" was in chinese at that point... so yea... don't shoot me... i really didn't mean it... didn't want to spoil the lunch mood... sincere apologies once again...
met up with shawn... asks me to become his 3rd photographer... wah lau... i tried my best to decline... until eileen shouts out to take turns... i respond with a meek "orh".... and shawn says it's not fair... hullo... people suddenly shout like that... no chance to think properly of how to reply mah... anyways... it's not that i want to be difficult or anything in not helping... it's just that... when i was young... i remember helping out and doing some stuff for other people... but didn't really turn out the way they wanted it to... and i got blamed for it... anyways i tried my best already... so ever since then... anything i know i can't do properly... i try not to... it's much safer for everyone...
after that it was back to church to see shawn's wedding video... usual fanfare of old to new pics... nothing really "wow" about it... but still nice la... simple... sweet... and to the point...
all that said and done... we splitted up for practice... hmm.. hands felt a little weird on the keyboard after so long... hoped i played okay... amazing how they are always able to find a new kid to sing every year... anyways... the songs were fairly simple... and i had jr and clem beside me... so it wasn't that bad... time actually passed by quicker than i realised for the first time... had a second round of lunch... and went home...
....
back to the present
so there... my week... hoped you enjoyed your week and enjoyed reading mine... still not feeling too well... so help pray for me if possible...

POC loh! (so what?) well... it's private
so here's my final entry for the duration of my BMT... was freakin tired and busy with camp mates... thus doing it onli now....
as expected POC was nothing more than a day of shit work... was in stretcher party... very slack job... watching others doing their POP... some dropped their rifles... wonder what would happen to them... but none fainted....
then there was lots of area cleaning to do... stand by universe and what crap... but again nothing i couldn't handle....
next came a group of disgruntled people who felt shortchanged that we didn't have anything basic much less a fancy parade to signify our passing-out.... ah well... lets see... 11 men at the back in the morning... factoring in the rest who would chao keng and join the back when told of a impending parade... factoring in excuse upper limb, lower limb, rmj, firearms, uniform... and WHO ON EARTH DO WE HAVE LEFT? ENOUGH FOR YOUR DAMN PARADE? WAKE UP LA... talk big onli...
but okay la... there is that minor sense of pride when your parents come down and wear the cap for you... but wadever la... the sergeant was nice enough to give us our own cap tossing session...
and so i left tekong... hopefully for good... didn't leave on a good note with my section... but amazingly i became good friends with another section... and i'm thankful... those are nice people... people who speak my language... at my level... and don't act like 8 year olds... it's so common among people here... freakin childish monkeys... hope for more outings together with them... more dota sessions...
had our first outing last nite... steamboat at marina bay... after that some one suggested we stay out for the night... and thus... lol... wad happened next would stay etched in my memory forever... an interesting but fun experience i would say... come ask me personally if u wanna know the exact details...
anyways... the background song's finally changed... NO MORE TEKONG! (i mean tokyo)... so it's december now... nearing christmas... and what better fitting song than... winter hot music...?
lol... enjoy... sorry for the haphazard entry this time round... doing this in 5 mins... will make changes later on if neccessary...
just saw your dp... oh well... you really do look happy
when pictures hurt more than sticks and stones...
it's just so easy for you isn't it?
just might do something lame tomorrow if i'm desperate enough...

just a little more....
so as expected... He worked... magic pen or not... just wanna thank Him... but preferbly not keep me on the edge for too long next time... lol
2 more days to POC!
fairly slack week... some sleeping involved throughout the day...just mostly sai kang and the 8km route march of note... recruits' nite was highly disappointing...
thought i would be able to get some sleep at nite this week... unfortunately not... the training nitemares continued... YUI doesn't seem to do the trick anymore... well for one nite at least... it was something different... "nice"... but i didn't really appreciate it...
then on sat afternoon... it was the usual nitemare again... but with a twist... who was that as my platoon sergeant...? usually the faces of people who you don't know in dreams are kinda blury.... but this was pretty clear... a case of tragic forboding perhaps...? you know... i seriously wouldn't mind....
who was she?
ditto all those quiet weeks...
could sense the reluctance... still thanks anyways...
and have i mentioned...? 2 more days to POC!!!
oh and finally a change of song...

all in a week's work....
finally have the time to sit down and make an entry... nothing much to say though...
and how on earth do u appraise people you have sooooooooo little contact with?
heck... "friendly and easy to talk to"... ctrl c... ctrl v... my nose gets ever longer... what crap... what bullshit...
so it was field camp this week... fairly tiring... but fun... enjoyed all the proning and rolling in the mud... especially the occasional grenade drills... lol... didn't have to stay out being L9... went back to the bunk to sleep... but am glad i was able to... just 30 mins in the basha hiding from the rain was enough to convince me that i wouldn't be able to have a good night's sleep... freakin hard and uneven ground would have done wonders for my back...to make it even sorer... worse still if it had rained heavily.... i would have been washed away.... don't think my little drainage system would have worked... heh
oh yea... didn't have to do BIC either... oh well... doesn't really matter to me...
anyways... had to hand in our handphones, wallets and mp3s so as to simulate outfield conditions... no personal comforts... seems i was the only stupid one to fully follow instructions... others handed in wallets without money... keeping all the coins to be able to buy drinks from the vending machine... while some still kept their mp3s... as it wasn't really mentioned during briefs... how "obedient" of me.... yea yea
damn... a full 4 days without YUI before going to sleep... no wonder i couldn't sleep well at all... had dreamless sleep the first 2 nights... but then started having army nightmares... in which i was up and training... while i was asleep... hard to explain... but i really didn't sleep well at all...
surprise and disappointment all in a week...
surprise and joy!
but after field camp and nada...?
are you playing a cruel joke on me? or is it their fault?
had a look at the past and didn't like what i saw... oh the differences...
oh nvm...
i miss saturdays more and more....

so whats new...? other than empty words, lies, broken promises and shattered dreams....
"...By the end of my first hour on duty, I was enlightened. I knew what it was about guard duty that was so intolerable.
Boredom.
Guard duty was just so unbelievably boring. The seconds didn't go tick-tick-tick. They went tick. Pause. Tick. Pause. Tick."
- Michael Chiang, Army Daze
and damn it's true... and i wasn't even supposed to be doing it... thanks to my "buddy" who so coincidentally was attending B... i was chosen instead...
"it gonna be a good experience...", i tried to console myself... TRIED...
friends i told didn't offer much consolation... they were probably laughing their heads off at my predicament... sigh...
so there i was doing sentry at the ferry terminal... the very first line of defence to any would be intruders... yea yea...
(prowling might have been fun... getting to explore tekong and stuff... but walking all over wasn't exactly my cup of tea...)
the first shift i checked my watch at exactly half hour intervals...
the second...? at every 5 painful minutes...
argh... the lesser said the better...
went back to company line at 7... slept till 11... then i fell sick... the "tekong cough" they call it... and i always have a weakness for cough... coughing quite badly now... thank goodness there's phlegm... helps to soften the impact of the cough... and coupled up with a flu... just too bad then... my theory is that the "tekong cough" was started by a disgruntled cookhouse cook who finally got tired of receiving negative surveys and decided to teach us recruits a lesson...
seriously... i'm joking... but it COULD be true...
having some trouble with my section mates... but it's nothing new... even those who i rarely talk to start talking crap... strange ain't it...?
anyways... field camp's up next... and with my cough and flu... i hope it won't be too much of a hindrance... pls be praying for me...
didn't hear anything again... so i took the first step...
...
on tuesday night i bought you a gift... and we chatted...
on friday night... we played a game together...
it's only when reality hits you right back in the face... that you wake up again... panting... and you look at the sorry state you have become... hard to go back to sleep after that... so i just tossed and turned till it was time...
dreams suck alot... don't you know...?
was on the whole day... but nothing from you... oh well... nvm... seems you already have some one else in mind... taking you to all those nice places and sutff...
i'm really trying hard to forget... put you out of my mind... but you know... it's HARD...
till the next bout of "delusions of legitimate fouls" comes along then...

when something would have been nice part 2...
hope these days is overated...
i asked for something so hard... but didn't get it... i know i have done nothing to deserve it though... it's really my fault... i just hope He heard me and understands... He does work in myterious ways in His time... 'cos i think i need it badly...
kinda hoped that i would hear from you... looking at it... still waiting... oh well... it would make things so much harder and easier at the same time... still i wish it was so...
that much is true... something would have been nice...
just something...
i need to feel better...
but hope is overated right?

the true meaning of "because we love our Singapore"...
finally ended my 2 weeks confinement at tekong... cut a little short thanks to deepavali... and damn... Singapore has never looked better...
so how's army life? well... all i can say that it's gonna get tougher... but pes c la... there's a limit to what people can take here... anyways i'm fine... nothing so far that i haven't been able to handle... thanks to those who smsed... no thanks to those who didn't... lol... keep those smses coming yea? and if you haven't done so already... well... you know what to do... else you should be ashamed of yourself... lol... just joking...
well... in the army you get to meet all kinds of people... from the blur ones... to the really siao on-the-ball ones (pass already still want to better their timing... wth?)... and of course the usual ah bengs... made my fair share of friends and enemies already... well yea... enemies... it's just my character... either you learn to like or accept it... or you don't... what can i say? trouble just seems to have a nack at finding me... lol at being called selfish... i mean duh? but overall people are fairly nice... don't really know most of their names yet though... we just start talking to each other whenever there's time...
and when guys get together... what do they talk about...? so people like me sit back and listen... while the ah bengs and a few others go through their list of exes ranging from A-Z... Amelia, Berlinda, Casandra, Denise, Elaine, Fion, Gina, Helen... i kinda fell asleep after that... freakin tired...
what really irked me the most were people who set their alarm clocks to wake up early... but couldn't wake up in the end... so what you end up with is an alarm clock that wakes and keeps you up instead... and goes on ringing for another 20-30 mins (i'm serious!)... thankfully i had YUI in my ears from the 2nd night on... peacefully went back to sleep... the preciousness of 1 min more of shut-eye...
dreamt about something on one of the nights... it was the kind of dream you'd dream about having... just wanted to say thanks for waiting... i really wished it would carry on forever... even if i know that reality doesn't agree with it... but it kinda gave me the strength to continue on for a few more days... so that's good isn't it?
i try to forget but dreams and reality don't allow it...
but alls really left behind once you're on the ferry home... you finally understand the true meaning of "because we love our Singapore" (the island)...
and i look forward to hearing from you (all)....
so how's army life? well... all i can say that it's gonna get tougher... but pes c la... there's a limit to what people can take here... anyways i'm fine... nothing so far that i haven't been able to handle... thanks to those who smsed... no thanks to those who didn't... lol... keep those smses coming yea? and if you haven't done so already... well... you know what to do... else you should be ashamed of yourself... lol... just joking...
well... in the army you get to meet all kinds of people... from the blur ones... to the really siao on-the-ball ones (pass already still want to better their timing... wth?)... and of course the usual ah bengs... made my fair share of friends and enemies already... well yea... enemies... it's just my character... either you learn to like or accept it... or you don't... what can i say? trouble just seems to have a nack at finding me... lol at being called selfish... i mean duh? but overall people are fairly nice... don't really know most of their names yet though... we just start talking to each other whenever there's time...
and when guys get together... what do they talk about...? so people like me sit back and listen... while the ah bengs and a few others go through their list of exes ranging from A-Z... Amelia, Berlinda, Casandra, Denise, Elaine, Fion, Gina, Helen... i kinda fell asleep after that... freakin tired...
what really irked me the most were people who set their alarm clocks to wake up early... but couldn't wake up in the end... so what you end up with is an alarm clock that wakes and keeps you up instead... and goes on ringing for another 20-30 mins (i'm serious!)... thankfully i had YUI in my ears from the 2nd night on... peacefully went back to sleep... the preciousness of 1 min more of shut-eye...
dreamt about something on one of the nights... it was the kind of dream you'd dream about having... just wanted to say thanks for waiting... i really wished it would carry on forever... even if i know that reality doesn't agree with it... but it kinda gave me the strength to continue on for a few more days... so that's good isn't it?
i try to forget but dreams and reality don't allow it...
but alls really left behind once you're on the ferry home... you finally understand the true meaning of "because we love our Singapore" (the island)...
and i look forward to hearing from you (all)....

well here goes.... to the tekong chalet
and so ends the last day of my civilian life... oh well... thats life as a singaporean male... every one has been there done it... so it's my turn now...
damn...
anyways... changed the background song... was wondering whether to go with a fast upbeat one or a slow one... but the former was a little too noisy... and didn't really suit the current mood... lol... and so it brings us to "Tokyo"... YUI sings about her leaving her home town of Fukuoka to go to Tokyo to futher her music career... or something like that... so it's kinda the same... (read: singapore to tekong)... lol... more or less la...
ok... i admit... i do play YUI's songs sometimes (okay, usually la!) for services... and Tokyo is one of them... lol... oops... not many know the song mah... and it's slow and nice... has the worshippy-sad feel... but only jason said something after he thought it sounded japan-ish... lol
well... IF you are feeling nice... do SMS to inquire about my health... training... what have you... or even just to laugh at my predicament... i don't mind... the truth is i'll really need it... and like i said... inane coversations do actually matter... something would make a difference... otherwise i'll just get bored and demoralised to death... lol... or at the very least be praying for me... that will really help... gonna see how God works during my time there... well yea...
right... so all that said... i can only hope for the best...
and you all will be missed....
"maybe"
damn...

just delusions when something would have been nice...
was supposed to do this entry last night... but other stuff came up... got a little distracted... main culprit being YUI... doing another cover song on bokura no ongaku... which i'm not really complaining about though...
thought it was pretty nice and sweet... could actually fall asleep listening to it... not that it's boring... but she's done better songs before...
anyways... here's the drawing i was talking about some posts back... not done by me of course... looks vaugely like YUI... hope the scanning did the drawing justice...

quite good eh?
argh... and there was something else... but just can't remember what it was... but i'll move on... update when it comes back
thought i'll never forget about it... but apparently i did... (actually i wouldn't even have known until i looked in my spam mail)... yea well... after so long... just a hello... and then asking for my help... ending with a thanks... sheesh... wadever happened to inane conversation...? oh well...i do hope you treat your friends better than that...
but i guess it's more or less the same everywhere... still... a mention or something would have been nice... but nothing?... kinda telling really... unappreciative buggers... and yes... it matters...
nothing really ever goes the way i planned it out to be... you know... all scripts written out... but things usually couldn't be any more different... anyways... too bad then...
i never learn my lesson though... and it hurts...
it just sucks to hope...
D-day on friday... but who cares...

a boot to the head...
what do john terry, petr cech and i have in common?
yep, title says it all... literally a boot to the head... but thankfully mine wasn't that physical... they returned as heroes... me? more awake yes (i think)... but i'm still none the wiser... forget it... just saps confidence... and u realise that people aren't who they are in front of you... utter nonsense... save it for some other idiot who gives a damn...
lol... and by writing this i give a damn already... shucks...
but amazingly everytime i'm down i just come on here to read my past entries and along with YUI's soothing voice i start to feel much better... contemplating when to change to another song though...
sorry if i seem distant at the rare conversions i have online... too busy with Godfather... (yes a game!)
still hooked to Benny Lava... damn...

it sounds like.... having a laugh...
nothing to write yet... but just wanna post up these 2 vids i saw on edmw... hope it cures anyone who's feeling down...at least it did for me... (feeling down as usual)
it's some guy "subtitling" songs to what the language sounds like... pretty funny imo... just put YUI on pause in the meantime... (i know...i know... but she'll be back soon... just watch the vids first...lol... then u can press play again...)
still...sorry if it offends anyone...
ok... on re-watch the jap one wasn't that funny... but the bollywood one... if it doesn't make u laugh... i don't know what will...

it's been far too long...
had an inspiration for a new art piece thanks to lydia's drawing of what i think looks like YUI... nice drawing sia... girl + guitar = what else?... and to a lesser extent reu and clem's attempted replica... nice try lol...... i'll post it up when i decide to make a fool of myself...
oh and i just made my army glasses... and it's freakin uncomfortable...
anyways...woke up the other day and suddenly everything seemed kinda meaningless... everything i had planned to do became pointless... but i don't think it's because of NS... something else just keeps bugging me... tried to look for some one to talk to... but realised how little people i actually bother to converse with online and offline... much less one that would take the time to listen to my rants... or even understand it...
sucks that it's been far too long that things have been this way... but what can i do?
even simple pleasures i that i enjoy like climbing bukit timah hill became a chore...
i haven't actually played a game in a long time... (i mean an ACTUAL game... not miniclip stuff)... well yea... contrary to popular believe... i don't have THAT many games... neither do most of the games interest me... and i don't think my laptop's able to support them either... starcraft again perhaps?... or some old playstation rpg.... i'll let you know...

yes, "no point writing, i want ballack" he says...
lets see... i just got him... cheap.... lol... why would i sell? so try harder ya?
well, you should know... it wouldn't work out at all...why are you even trying in the first place?
it wouldn't work...
it wouldn't work...
damn, it wouldn't work...
perhaps it wouldn't hurt to try?... yea but... unfortunately it does...
A&Es of life ya? it's true... think about it
does it really matter how hard i try?
anyways, forget it... 'cos i only want the best to happen...
is there any point writing any more? or even this blog?
who cares anyways...
delusions of legitimate fouls is all i can offer....

if only we'd have more patience... (dun act smart)

how much setbacks can one take?
well, seems that the guy who brought out the sar21 has a really troubled life...
1. parents divorced - mother left, father in jail
2. younger bro died in car accident
3. grannie who brought him up diagnosed with cancer
4. gf left him while serving ns - leaving for a better guy is one thing, a "lousier" one is another, but for another girl takes the cake... (well, what do i know, right?)
everyone whom he has ever loved is almost gone... quite alot for one to take, while others would have broken down for less... (point 4 being reason enough to push many over the edge)... not condoning his actions in anyway... but just trying to understand why he would do it... i mean no one in the right frame of mine would even seriously contemplate doing what he did...
it's easy to criticise now... but we'll see again if the same thing ever happens to ourselves... i'd admit i found it quite unbelievable at the lengths he went... but thats before i heard points 1 thru 3... it's very sad la....
still, there's always God to turn to in times like these... hopefully some of his friends are christians and can share that truth with him... guess only God knows how much he's hurting and is the only one able to completely heal those wounds...
seems there's a online petition going around for him... appealing for a lighter sentence... if u feel for him or wadever....
http://www.webpetitions.com/cgi-bin/print_petition.cgi?99501537
hmm... legitimate foul? .... maybe it's more of understandable foul...
ah well, so much for people to keep me sane during my own ns... lol....

it ain't over till the fat lady sings...
yea well, don't really know how to begin this one... anyways... as you would already know by now that luciano pavarotti has died due to cancer... don't know much about him... but at least i know his name... lol... enough to give him a mention here... goodbye to the fat man (as i know him la...)
so the fat man has sung his last...
ok, away from gloom and onwards to randomness... why on earth can't i search my blog on google? bah... sucks...
anyways, took leave... so don't have to go to work later... singnet coming to give me my new modem... yea, re-contracted for another 2 years... with all that hoo-haah about the way they protect subscribers privacy... doesn't seem that good an idea... but oh well... too troublesome to change ISPs... i don't have that much to hide anyways... lol...
bukit timah's so gonna be quite for some time... unless you're daring enough to climb the hill....
