Hmmm... After thinking about it for quite sometime, and asking opinions from 3 people, i think i have made my decision. Yah, simon is right. Thanks ar. Felt much better after hearing what he had said.

Yah, perhaps i will be too stressed out with such a burden and i cant truly and fully enjoy myself and be happy. I can already feel the pressure right now for a month! So i guess i should act fast now to release myself.. ha. Losing a bit is fine with me.

And after so much of procrastination, i will start my first driving lesson next thurs. Yah... gotta go down to SSDC on friday to apply PDL.

Ah... i feel bad i din visit keith. Well, they went on friday nite but i was on duty. So cant go. Then planned to go today but only got to know he discharged yesterday.... ah

Hope he is getting better.

Well, going to watch King Arthur later. Hope it makes my $8.50 worth.

I read from newspaper that starting from next month, all cigarette packs must be printed with those gross pictures to discourage people from smoking. Cool move.

Hmmm... have been listening to english songs nowadays. Britney's Everytime is superb.

An eventful week i guessed.
 
We got free tix to Starlight cinema from SSG Toh and so we were given nights off on tuesday, 13 jun to go and watch. It was at fort canning and was showing The Day After Tomorrow. Quite crowded and we managed to find some space for 5 of us. Used newspaper to sit on though cuz it was raining during evening time. The weather was quite cooling.
 
Went to the M18 party at Chinablack on thursday. Only 4 of us. Music quite okay, hip hop, R&B and some pop music. Crowd not that bad. And we stayed til it closed at 3am. Yah, gy and alan managed to get telephone number.... haha
 
Hmmm... seems like many areas in Asia (china, taiwan, hong kong, korea, japan, even india) are facing some floods/storms/typhoons. Even in singapore, this month is especially a wet one when by right it should be a hot and dry month. It makes me wonder if all these are related or just coincidence..
 
Yup, heard keith got hospitalised. But dunno how bad he is.

Last saturday, a cocky LTC drove into the camp, stopped by the tentage, signalled Eugene to go over using his 2 fingers and said something to him. Then Eugene called Max and I to step out and give that LTC a high port salute. He saluted back.

I thought he was trying to find trouble with us since I thought he got pissed when Eugene signalled him to go when he came in.

But no.

He went parade square for check then we heard Lawrence's voice over the comms. He said that LTC scolded him "Why the FUCK he didnt salute him!" He even said something like "We all RPs are FUCKERS!" He demanded Lawrence to stay in the salute position til he drove off!

This is ridiculous. Eugene after hearing what Lawrence said on the comms about the vulgurities, then he said that LTC also said the same thing to him at the gate i.e. why the FUCK we didnt salute him.

Yah, so PC got the message and went to find him. So in the end, that LTC apologized, saying he was sorry for the verbal abuse. Crap.

After all these, we had to write statement about this incident. Law wrote he was a disgrace to SAF as a high ranking officer, to think he used the word 'Fuck' and 'Fuckers' on us. And that he was simply unreasonable that he wanted Law to stay in high port position all the way til he drove off.

Well, LTC is just LTC. We have seen so many officers walking in and out of our camp. We don't high port salute them even when they are in the car. The very best we do is only greet 'Morning/Afternoon Sir' when they walk in thru the gates.

Perhaps we only high port when BG and above come.

I still remember I have met 2 BGs before when they came to parade square. The first one, i didnt even greet him because the moment he wound down his car window, he asked if he could park. I didnt have the chance. Haha. The second BG, just greet only. Not even salute.

So why did that LTC Darius Lim demand that? Should take away the crabs off him.......

HA, finally e-prep is working. But i'm deciding between learning japanese or korean... each course is $184, but SAF gives us $300.. but we still need to pay 10% of the amount. hmmmm....

Look at this...

Doesnt Youyi (2nd from left) looks pretty?? They are all 88.3fm DJs by the way and i got to see her often... heh heh =p She just brightens a lot of people's day...

Procrastination is bad. I still havent started learning driving.

Just sent photos to develop and realised how high tech it was. I just need to put the cd-r and memory card into a machine, select which photo i want to develop, press ok and a receipt is printed. Then gave the receipt to the counter and that's it. They dun even need my cd-r and memory card to develop.

Ha, how ignorant i am. And each only cost $0.35 for a 4R glossy. About the same as you develop from negatives.

Anyway, I will probably be saving more photos from my computer into diskettes and develop them. Ha think I feel much more secure to have the photos in hard copy, when i can put them in albums than have them on the computer and online albums.

Trying hard to save money nowadays. Think i spent too much this year. Spent $1100+ just on my iPod and digital camera. Oh man.
