Art Materials!

went over to bugis to get some art materials for the upcoming photoshoot in october!
got myself a whole bottle of black paint

wanted to get some other things but Nuh kept telling me to make it myself
for example..there were these styrofoam shaped into balls and cubes
which i was thinking of using as props for the photoshoot
but he insisted that i can improvise
well ive got to agree,
each one of those styrofoam actually cost $1.50 and above!
could save some money if i were to DIY
plus im gonna dip them in paint anyway
hahaha

we then went on down to harbour front's DAISO to check out what we can find
haha loads of random stuff sold there
and every item cost $2 each
we ended up getting this cat shaped hole-puncher?

well it works the same way as your hole-puncher
just that it creates this adorable cat figure

theres other shapes too
a dog,a star,a leaf etc
haha being a cat lover,
we both got one each
havent really figure out what to do with it
but it might come in handy when making cards and gifts

oh yeah and i bought a pair of hand warmer and a neck warmer
which i intend to let the model wear for the shoot
haha

its meant for girls,
so it was really tight!!
ah can't wait for the photoshoot!
12th october!


oh btw
im loving this beef & chicken set meal
that is sold at Elias Mall,
the hawker centre in my neighbourhood.
i really like it alot :D
it cost $5.50 btw

nice!

koookies!!

my friend,Nuh,gave me some of the cookies he made for hari raya
:D hahaha im gonna finish them even though ive only JUST recovered from sore throat.
nom nom nom nom

Pasir ris park.FAILED.

wanted to go to pasir ris park to take some pictures
the weather was cooling as it was raining previously
it all went well till...
the mosquitoes came attacking me like mad.
each time i stopped and took a photo,
i would then look at my legs,
and there would definitely be at least one mosquito
happily feasting!
it got so annoying that i turned around and headed back home



if only they didnt have to spit a secretion into our blood that makes me itch
i would've graciously let them suck my blood dry.
and im proud to say that ive killed every single one of them that landed on me
not one spared.muahahaha

aniways,
i only managed to take a few shots






maybe next time
with insect repellent.

a trip to the MO

waited 2 hours,
2 whole hours under the merciless icy breath of the air conditioning unit in Selerang medical centre...
where other NSF that came after me went in for consultation
i was left there awaiting for my precious time with
THE Medical Officer
finally my turn was up
went in,sat down
explained my illness to him
he examined and this was what he told me

"theres no sign of sore throat,
the sore will go away on its own
just dont go touch it or irritate it
and about your toothache,
you could head on upstairs to the dental centre cause im not a dentist.
dont need a referal letter.
erm wait outside as i prescribe you some lozenges."

Wow?
geesh,its not the first time ive got sore throat
and its quite obvious why he couldnt see it
CAUSE its so deep down

waited two whole hours under the freezing cold just for that kinda prescription?
what the f**k?
and not to mention that
BLOODY little corporal who thinks hes some kinda big shot
slamming things here and there,wtf
trying to show attitiude is that it?
no sense of urgency in those motherf**kers.

SAF medical centres..
whats the point of renovating their facilities
when its the same old people inside.
when is someone going to do something about it
those poor NSF that have genuine cases
and yet they have to put up with such situation
they deserve better than that

caring?commitment?
what a facade.









laughter is the best medicine.
uve got to watch this.LOL

i think shes so adorable!



after which,check this out!
:)





aniways!
if you're feeling the coming of a major sore throat
do try robitussin lozenges
it looks similar to strepsils
but its rather useful
for me at least.
helped big time

hmm

my wonderful breakfast
plain porridge...

sore throat making me lose appetite :(
and theres this aching in the gum at the back of my teeth
maybe its my wisdom tooth?
its really annoying.
pain pain go away please!

took off today to rest at home
at least i can walk now
haha
trying to stay positive :)
eh btw have u met my girlfriend?

shes awesome!

her in golden bikini
hawt!

ugh!!

ugh...
after yesterday morning's run
my back is now aching and i cant walk properly..geesh
Oww..damn jialat

plus sore throat and cough since yesterday
save me please!

Army Half Marathon

SAFRA Singapore Bay Run
Army Half Marathon 2010

We started off at arnd 5:45am,
George,Junbin and myself
haha we had a pact to complete the race together
this 21KM run

for the first 13KM,
it was all cool
but after that,my legs started to give me problems
having cramps every now and then
ended up walking for the rest of the journey
had to stop quite often as my calves was extremely tight
and very tense.
throughout the whole 21KM
george and junbin never left my sight
they were there running by my side
even at the last 500m
where i was really exhausted,
and i actually yelled at george to go on without me
but still,they never gave up on me
was really touched by their act

felt like fainting after the run
and my vision started to become super weird
everything was extremly bright
especially everyone's face
think i overexerted myself :(

after which,
went off together with junbin,leslie,siong yong,leonard and joel
to marina square to get something to eat
everything was alright until i reached esplande
and this excruciating pain in my calves and tighs
caused me to let out a horribly loud yell
and collapsed flat on the ground
it was so fucking painful
the sudden pull of the muscles
and even my feet wasnt spared
it was definitely one of my most painful moments
thankfully,Junbin and Leslie were there to help me out
the both helped to stretch out my legs
until the point were i could walk(or limp) on my own
they even helped to call out to a couple who were giving out Salonpas sample
haha the girl was like spamming the spray on my legs

managed to hail a cab with joel back home
thankfully my legs didnt act up again in the cab
otherwise i really wouldnt know what to do

The run today was excruciating
with all the chain of events that happened to me
and i wasnt in the best of health before the run
but it was definitely something id never want to forget
the friends that were there for me

if it wasnt for them
i would be here resting at home
safe and sound

Dont look down on this peice of thing,you've no idea what i went through just for this





"Hey we made a pact.
Its called honour.
Friendship is more important than a timing.
No question to that."

Hari Raya,Friday

Had a haircut this morning,
got kinda annoyed with my hair

was feeling extremely cold this afternoon
almost feverish.
took some panadol then went to take a nap.

Dad came home to take a rest from work
he isnt feeling so well,probably from his work and eaing habits
he told me that we won't be continuing the stall at changi airport's staff canteen.
cause we were making very little profits due to the expensive ingredients and yet unable to raise the price much.
probably gonna look for another place after the end of this year..
so yeah,do visit my Dad's stall at Changi Airport staff canteen,terminal 1
Yan's Fish Soup
sells awesome grilled salmon fish topped with black pepper or teriyaki sauce
,and other nice and healthy dishes.
Brought most of my bunkmates there to eat :)
and they were full of praises :D


im rather concerned about the change in workplace and my dad's health..
kinda worried :(
but i shan't let it affect me
for im 20 this year,
as an adult i should learn to cope with emotions
learn to be independent.


btw,the ARMY HALF MARATHON is just around the corner.
in fact,its just this coming sunday!
haha really looking forward to it
21km here i come!!

T.O.P - Turn It Up

T.O.P from BIGBANG

Sunday, September 20, 2009
when i first brought them home,
they were just two small little terrapins..


and now,
Sunday, September 5,2010
these are the same two terrapins


haha apparently one of them had been greedy and eat up of the food!
so selfish..

Happier---A Fine Frenzy

hey!
its me again

wanna share with you guys (whoever you are)
this awesome song i heard on the radio recently
hope you'll like it too :)

Happier by A Fine Frenzy



Quick kid quick, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken, cold and clinical
What a transformation to behold
But I don't like this new, I want the old

It's not the words that make it final
You've said such things such things before to rival them
But it's how you say 'em now that's changed
Cold but sympathetic all the same

Lie to convince me that I'll be better off
Oh, you go on and I'll be happier, I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier

Shoot me with your rubber bullets
Your finger's on the trigger, pull it
I know you want this suffering to end
So it is forgivable my friend

It's all to convince me that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier,
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier

Bo-bo-ba-do-bo
Bo-bo-ba-do-bo-da-da-da

Say what you mean, what you mean
Cause you'll be happier without me, without me, without me, oh

You won't convince me, that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier, I'll be happier
You go on, you go
You'll be gone, and I'll be gone
You go on and I'll be happier, you go on and I'll be happier
You go on, you go on, you go on and I'll go on and I'll be happier
You on and I'll be happier, you go on and I'll be happier

You go on, and I'll be happier

predictable plot,but AWESOME dance moves!
loved the dance scene with all those lights
can feel my heart beating along
super cool!!

annoying cough that doesnt seem to go away

21KM HERE I COME!!

Youth Olympic Games

its everywhere.
at the mall
at the bus stop
along the streets
on the walls
on the television
on the radio
on the computer
on that person's tee shirt
in my head
EVERYWHERE!

its been quite some time since Singapore managed to clinch the chance to host
the first ever YOG(Youth Olympic Games)
the opening was kinda comical
the part where each country/nation had a representative to bear the flag,
as it was supposed to be a rather glam entrance,
mom and I were laughing our heads off when the flag bearers walked the wrong way,
and the volunteers had to run across the screen to signal them back.
hahaha
ouh but the olympic torch part was nice :D
the dragon boaters and the spiralling flame tower
awesome.
All in all,
YOG made me feel proud to be a Singaporean :)


(i do not own this image)


watched the gymnastic competitors in the afternoon..
so young..so much potential..
but
God is fair,at least they cant draw as well as i can
but still...theyre awesome

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve...BORING!!

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve...
took me around 1hour40mins to get there...
and all that steep slopes up and up and up
was kinda disappointed.
nothing much to see there...
everything is green.
and leaves.
and plants.
not a single sign of flora.
Pulau Ubin was much better haha












my verdict?
DONT go there unless u wanna sweat like mad
and you've really nothing better to do.

camwhore with DSLR = photoshoot

the flu virus seems to be making a statement in my camp
so many people falling ill..
maybe the weather?
the busy schedule?
the sleepless nights?
the unhealthy food at cookhouse?
the bunk conditions?
I guess its a little of everything.

manpower is so limited
ended up having to endure flu and fever in camp
popping panadol and trying to get some rest
sweating profusely the whole day..
glad its all over
still coughing though,
gotta watch what i eat.
hahaha

havent been able to go for run or physical activities.
didnt wanna choke on my own phlegm,not cool.
maybe tmr morning,id go for a jog

haha guess what ive been up to today?

i was very bored and thus i decided to do a photoshoot of myself,
with my DSLR,and the technical skills my friend imparted to me.
haha,its much harder than i thought.
oh wells.





"Lets go all the way tonight.No regrets,just love"

August 9th

Went to catch the movie 'Salt'
starring Angelina Jolie

the show was not bad
it was non-stop action
and cool moves throughout the whole movie,
didnt bore me at all :D
would give it 3.5/5 for rating :D
worth watching id say

after which we walked down to CBD area
to do some photography,
yep brought along my beloved camera
which until now im still not used to it.
hahaha
what a noob.
BUT
i think ive improved! :)
thanks to my pro friend

heres the pics for today!






before we knew it,it started to get dark
indicating that the fireworks display was about to begin





unfortunately,we sat at a place where there wasn't a clear view of the fireworks
most of it were blocked by the tall office buildings in the area.
haha oh wells



we waited since we were already there.
wasn't really disappointed though,
haha maybe cause ive seen fireworks that were more extravagant than this.

all in all,
the movie was good,
the weather sucked.
the view sucked.
the crowd sucked.

but...
it was a cool experience :)
gonna have another attempt at fireworks during the New Year Celebrations!

gonna be busy busy busy this coming weekend!!

cya soon!!

august august...when will you ever end?

things aren't looking so well..
month of august was a rather sucky one for me
army life is getting really boring
and rather draggy
and August is the busiest month of the year,
with YOG and NDP and F1 coming up.
loads of time gonna be burnt.
hope everything goes well
then we'd be able to hand over our shit to the next batch of pioneers.
say...in november?


december 11th,2010
thats my ORD date..
we've been through such a long time
and honestly speaking
im glad that i made it this far
thanks to my bunkmates
and sheer luck.

Life's good in my unit
compared to others
i should count myself lucky
that i have a good life in NS.
what are the chances of landing in a camp
near your house
and having a driver vocation
despite being combat fit.
guess i should really count my blessings :)

aniw,feeling kinda lonely on a saturday night
went for a jog in the park,
saw groups of people enjoying themselves,
couples sitting by the benches,
kids playing with sparklers...
and there i was,
all alone.

OH WELLS.
shant brood over it.
GOOD NIGHT!

"hello,I doubt you'd read this.
but I hope you're doing fine."

oaatmeal!

k no more junk food and instant noodles!
say hi to oatmeal breakfast

but....
of course im not gonna torture myself
with totally plain and yucky oatmeal
thus i added in some
Whole Grain Cereal
with raisins,dates & pecans! :D




gonna be a super busy month!!
