Formula 1: Results

Major upset to Ferrari last night as Massa, taking the lead in the pole standings, drove off too early due to a misfortunate accident at the pit-stop, dragging along the fuel line still firmly attached onto the car. Massa had to stop to wait for his crew mates to get it off of the car and to serve a 10s penalty. Just like this, he dropped from first place to the last place in the race.

Afterwhich, Kimi Raikkonen, 3rd place in the pole standings got knocked off to the 15th position after Piguet's crash. Raikkonen raced back to the 3rd position only to pit once more and dropped off to the 5th position. Then the second upset for Ferrari came as Raikkonen smashed his front wheel onto a wall on the 10th turn, leaving him out of the race.

Lewis Hamilton wasn't on his best performance last night but did extremely well as he caught up to clinch 3rd place. Seriously, what a spectacular F1 race to talk about.

Formula 1

*ZING*

As the cars fly past you before you even know who it was.

So <3 and I were at Park Mall last night and the soft rumbling of the cars caught our attention. We decided to walk to Suntec to see endless streams of people standing around the covered fences trying to get a glimpse of the cars. The roar of the cars were deafening... Seriously. Especially when 5 of them zoom past after one another.

I'm not too gaga over F1 but standing there hearing the engines rev and the screeching of the brakes made me really excited. So the finals are for tonight!

Here are the qualifying results last night:

1: Felipe Massa (Ferrari)


2: Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)


3: Kimi Raikkonen (Ferarri)


So this is the battle of the Ferraris vs McLaren. Hope Ferrari wins =)

Mammia Mia, Mia Mamma

So after nearly having conned by GV, I went back again to get the ordinary ticket for Mamma Mia. The show was fairly alright, the plot seemed like it was set to fit the music, and the singing wasn't very fantastic, though the songs were great. As expected of the gold ABBA songs.

Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me 
Shining like the sun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per) 
Smiling, having fun (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per) 
Feeling like a number one 
Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me 
But I won't feel blue (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per) 
Like I always do (Sup-p-per Troup-p-per) 
Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you 

Jaw-Drop

I nearly paid $25 for ONE ticket at the cinemas today.

I didn't know GV Gold and GV Max charges you $25/tix. So embarrassing that I walked away without purchasing the tickets. Oh well, once bitten twice shy.

Good news is that YQ, YH and JC can book out this Friday. Sad for CW though. Wonder how he's doing..

Something that I find extremely meaningful:

Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try
Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
Gotta put it all on the line

Duties

Jiunn Chin: Toilet IC
Chuan Wei: Rubbish IC

Quite the irony!

Wow I used spent more than $600 to get my NS stuff.....

bummer ):

Been watching Pushing Daisies too. Interesting show I must say =)

The Tudors

I'm watching The Tudors and I thought I'd never say this... but... Jonathan Rhys Meyers is really good looking. There! I said it

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Wentworth Miller WHO?

Epic Failure

Yuhong messaged me from camp. He said they got pulled out of his bunk at 3.30am just to watch the sunrise.

LAWL

He said they run at least 15 rounds everyday. I'm not sure if 1 round = 400m or not, but if that were the case, it would be 6km each day. If they run for 5 days, that's 30km a week, or 42km for 7days.

So I decided to pick up my butt from the bed at 8am in the morning to go for a run. But lo and behold............... IT RAINED!

But I stayed up.. gotta reset that body clock. So I went for a jog, after..... probably 2 years. I think I barely ran 1km before I started becoming really breathless and I brisked walked pretty much the rest of the journey. Boy my physical fitness level now is -100%.

I started having difficulty breathing, due to that thick amount of mucus in my system ever since the cough. So I started becoming breathless AND became light headed. I really need to work harder :(

Wall-E

I watched my first movie alone! Meh!
I was doubtful of Wall-E actually. The trailer didn't really impress me. But I went to catch it at Vivocity in the afternoon and Pixar proved to be the best once again. Amazing movie.

this is a short clip shown before Wall-E starts

Something surprised me at Harbourfront Center today. Went to the gents and I realised there was a condom vending machine. I think many people take boat to Batam for a romp. LOL.

Nokia is a bitch. After spending an accumulated timespan of 4 hours, I finally got my N73 to update its firmware!! RAWR!

16 Sept:
Hey dood. I'll miss you mate. I guess you won't get to see this but I hope you will take care! Supper again in 2.5 weeks time!

With that being said. I've another 20 days before d-day

15 Sept:
The sky seems so clear
The moon so bright
Only when I'm with you

Benny Lava remixed! Hot stuff

Cool stuff but not as great as the original:



So Yi Quan and Jiunn Chin enlisted ytd and Yuhong later. CW on tues.

Oh the horror!

POP/Enlistment/Wait

Many guys have successfully completed their BMT right abt nw. Enhanced training batch from July intake and the fat guys like Shawn in the June intake. They're all coming out by next wk.

Then comes the new batch of enlistees, probably by end of next week, the Sept intake shld be over and 13 weeks of tekong shall take place.

then there is the wait for me to enlist on 7 Oct. Damn tt sucks

Sunshine after the storm

We shall leap across all hurdles =)

The new toy *smirk*

My brand new imaginary Nokia E51!

Awww... so I didn't get it afterall. My thoughts on it was that if I were to get a brand new phone without contract + additional battery, the total costs would amount to over $400 buckeroos. I'd rather spend money on a cheap phone and to buy a new good camera phone with contract after I POP, which seems more reasonable.

So I opted for that, and went to Far East with YuHong to get gay phones together!

Nokia E61

This is probably teh most glamourous shot you can ever get to see on a Nokia E61, because it has stopped production and is probably a 2 years old phone already. YH and I tried to get the best condition phones at the cheapest price, and it was alright...

Until we realised the original battery from Nokia was going at a whooping $85.00 SGD, which made no fucking sense for a battery in such low demand...

The phone itself is bulky, and not as slick as the Nokia E71, but it's definitely:

1. Loud
2. Clear
3. Not slow
4. Wifi, GPRS and WAP enabled
5. QWERTY keypad
6. 1500mAh battery

Met up with dear YQ and CW today. Farewell my good friends, enjoy life in camp!

Blog entry entirely from my phone! Wicked?

Ok i'm a little pissed off actually because i was nearly done with writing my post entry when i clicked on smth n it redirected me. Worst still, there is no "back" button so i can't go back. Just when i thought blogger has that nifty auto save draft, i was wrong! Apparently it doesnt work for blog posts coming from a frickin phone!

anyways, im retyping my entry, trying to make use of more short forms, so pardon me as i use sms text lingo.

i signed on a mobile surf plan with Singtel. Mobile 1000 allows me to surf up to 50gb a mth at a flat rate of $15.69. I thought tt 50gb was considered unlimited surf because i dont think i will be spending tt much data packets on web browsing. Little did i know tt merely visiting my blog alr required 1.5mb. Looks like i gotta have less posts per page n eliminate all images as well as it auto loads

also, this post is coming from my lok kok n73 phone. I've yet to buy my new phone. Using the dictionary funct has enabled me to type pretty quickly, so a qwerty keyboard is not necessary. As much as i wld like to say tt, my arms are bloody aching from holding my phone up. Having a qwerty keyboard wld definitely be a plus! And also because then ur keys wont get abused.

one thing abt blogging from my hp is tt i cannot view the toolbar, which i thought shld be java. I cant change my font styles even though i want to =( or perhaps i cld change the master settings to use the html editor instead. But html is such a bitch. Ok im whining =P

ok play time's over and im off to bed. Probably might get a nokia e51 tmr. Oh goodie. New toy to play with =)

Exactly 1 more month

Till 7 Oct. And the count begins

Dedicated post to my male friends

Just came home from supper and a spin. Last night out with my bros before they enlist 1 by 1. Unfortunately for all of us, time will keep moving forward, never looking back, so while we're still young and fresh, it is always good to create memories, good or bad, fun or dull, these shall always be fond memories.

As we drove around town, watching the lights go by, I wish I could have done more in my life. As slow/quickly it may be, 20 years just went by just like that. In years to come, friends will start families of their own and you'll no longer have "friends" left with you, each too busy building their own lives.

So life is short. Live it before it lives you.

Jiunn Chin: 12 Sept
Yi Quan: 12 Sept
Chuan Wei: 16 Sept

Sickening rain

I remembered asking for the rain the stop... like a week ago... maybe more. But the rain hasn't quelled yet. I'm afraid end of the yr will rain even more.. Sucks to be in SG now. Yuhong came back from Cambodia sunburnt..

Wish I could get some sun right about now

friends told me im crazy
to be heading out when i'm sick
i'm taking 8 tablets every 6 hours

4 antibiotics, 1 fever, 1 fever + flu, 2 phelgm

yet i tell them it's ok. because i wanted to keep my promise
and for that, i've been staying home for the past 2 days to recuperate
i wanted to give her my support
when else could i possibly have so much time to spare?
in 5 weeks time, i'll be on a "2 year attachment" with the SPF

if you hear someone wheezing, it would probably be me
i feel my lungs dying
i feel so breathless, always short on breath
i cant breathe through my nose because they're both blocked
i heave with each breath/step i take
but does she know?
i'll never know
because she doesnt ask

despite doing all tt i can for her
it just seems like i shouldn't have done anything at all
i cant help it if i have less energy today, i'm sick afterall
but surely you knew my sweet intentions, and im sure you do
yet for some strange reason you keep wanting to make me "happy"
which i don't understand. i'm not unhappy at all. im merely unwell.
that being said... would you believe me?

we hardly had a really gd time with one another for the past mth.
it's been intermittent
1:4
happy:sad

im so sick
literally + figuratively
must you lose me before you truly treasure me?
what if one day i just pass away just like tt?
i've been feeling so sick recently that i fear that i'll stop breathing at night

just 5 more weeks
it just seems like i cant even make any good memories in this short amt of time
or maybe it wld be better off without any memories at all
