Yesterday watched A Walk To Remember online. A very nice and touching story.

A love story, that taught us to cherish the people around us, and making full use of the time left. It’s kinda sad that the story had to end like that, and particularly, i love the quote from the movie, “Love is everywhere, you cannot see it, but you can feel it. ”

Thumbs up to the movie.

Anyway, finally saw nonsense girl online, and had a short chat with her. :D feels so happy, when I’m chatting with her, thou we are far apart in each side of the world.

By the way, me and my sister, have finally decided to get our own dog, for the next 10 years, there will be an extra addition to the family, I’m not talking about J.

Toy Poodle?

Shih Tzu?

Or a Beagle?

Which dog is cuter?

Seventh Bookout 13.02.09
Posted by ben in Daily Rants on 02 15th, 2009| | No Comments »

Time past damn fast.. In 3 weeks’ time, we are going to POP.

With our Graduation Parade coming soon, things are heating up.

First we had to learn our Infantry song, Infantry roar, and stay under the sun for 15mins each day with FBO, to prepare for our POP parade.

And this week, definitely will be one of the important week in BMT, with live firing starting tomorrow and ending wednesday, and our IPPT (last) & SOC (last) all this week. It’ll definitely be a xiong week, and no matter what, I’ll keep pushing myself to the ending line for best timing.

Friday 13th January

It’s Friday the 13th again.

Anyway, I’m glad that I passed my IPPT to bookout on Friday, for those failed IPPT have to stay back for Remedial Training til Saturday noon. And can you believe that, only 38 recruits out of 150 book out this time round? Imagine having the whole ferry to us. haha.

Friday was a waste, was pretty tired when I reached home, around 8, thou I bookout at 6 already. And reaching home to sleep seems a happy thing to think of, not til when Weilong Edwin they all smsed to club.

Was damn tired, due to the day’s training before bookout, and lazily pulled myself out of the bed, get changed and head down to meet them( weilong edwin and friends) with yanzhang @ Zouk.

I swear this was the night, the first time, I don’t care how much $ i wasted, just to go home, after like an hour inside Zouk.

First thing, I was already super super tired. When i reached the club entrance, I don’t even feel like going, but if I don’t go, sure got thing happened later, don’t wanna elaborate much.

Second, the music that night for Zouk was trance. OMFG. Trance leh. Sorry ah Trance genre lovers, but I’m not a fan of Trance music. I can’t stand dancing to the tune of Trance for like , 4 hours?

I left the club at 1.30am, after entering at 12.30am, cabbed home alone, and heading for my bed..

Saturday 14.02.09

It’s Valentine’s Day.

While lovers wake up early to get prepare and dress up themselves in their best to meet their lovers later, I was lazying in bed til like 2pm+ . And even that J and W keep pestering durign my sleep, telling me later do what and what, I was just like ah , ah , ah , nod my head and go back sleep…

Oh, did i mentioned, J came to our house last night late, before i head out to Zouk, to give my sister a wonderful surprise?

14 roses in a bouquet that costs the price of a Ralph Lauren Polo tee with the big horse one and one Sovii Titus watch that cost around the same price too.

Sometimes, J is really a good boyfriend, (no i’m not gay), but I keep trying to tell my sister, to treasure this ‘precious’ of hers, for he is too good for her, and she is too wonderful for him, vice - versa.

Anyway, around 6pm+ headed to meet them @ Amk Hub, and Jeff decided to drive to Parkway Parade for some steamboat delights that he likes.

At first, I thought it was some steamboat buffet, but in fact, was those like of Ala-Carte Steamboat. Freaking expensive i tell you.

The only thing nice was the soup, the Tom Yam base soup, the chicken fillets & the live prawns. The rest was normal.

And we ate to a massive amount of $115, just for steamboat, for 3. Imagine one dish cost how much.

After the steamboat, headed to meet KC, Zhixian, JM & Leona @ Esplanade Ichiban Boshi.

No, i din ate second round, but there was an inside joke upon my arrival. Pretty funny, and even hilarious when I went do it.

Afterwhich, Went for a walk at Esplanade, and pausing at the Waterfront Threatre to hear a lady on the stage singing the song ‘ Superwoman’ , the original and english version of the Superwoman by Cao - Ge.

It was wonderful and voice was awesome, plus the ambience at that point of time, nothing can beat a good V Day outing for those lovers.

At that point of time, only one person in my mind came across to me, and I was thinking of the times I spent with her, thou it was short, but it was sweet enough, at least, to keep smiling in my heart. 私はどうも欠場。

My Valentine’s ‘outings’ was still not over.

Upon heading home, Alouis, Kenneth & WL was waiting at my house for mahjong. LOL. we started at 12+ and ended at 7+. Super duper tired lah. Sighh..

Today, Sunday 15th February

Woke up by my sister at 1+, and went to cook some noodles for brunch.

Booking in pretty early today, 4.55pm, damn sian. Cannot late again already, my name was in the Punishment List for last week, and I haven clear my punishment, Guard Duty or Confinement, whatever it is, I don’t care..

I just want to sleep and rest my over-clocked body…

Til my next bookout on Saturday,

Cheers to all,

And hope everyone had a splendid weekend.

Posted by ben in Daily Rants on 02 8th, 2009| | No Comments »

Short bookout, only a day, due to extra half a day on Chinese New Year bookout.
better than nothing..

Yes, finally, SIT Test over, not as xiong as i expect, probably the re-service Lieutenant taking us give us welfare? :)

But however, SIT Test is really a good test on our own ability to think, to act, to lead in the most dangerous and unexpected situations. And, I think i done pretty well.. :D well, we will see on the day i get my next vocation letter..

Anyway, another high key event has passed. Which only left with Live firing. :D Yeahhh. POP soon in 4 weeks time. :D :D :D

And also left with some zhup-ba-lang events like SOC, IPPT etc..

Anyw, my last ippt held on Wednesday was pretty good, very satisfied with myself, but aiming for a gold? The vision seems far..

My Third (Recent) IPPT results:

Chin Ups: 15 (5 points)
Sit Ups: 45 (5 points)
Shuttle Run: 10.1 (5 points)
Standing Broad Jump: 225cm (3 points)
2.4km Run: 10.23 (4 points)

Overall: 22/25, Silver

My Civilian Life Since Yesterday to Today 08.02.09

After bookout, dad came to pick up me as usual with mum & wei, and headed to Changi General Hospital straight.

Did i mention about the countless amounts of SandFlies bites i had on my whole body?

Fucking machiam like those people with skin rashes problem, or chicken pox, whatever it calls.

Super Disgusting.

More on SandFlies and their bites. > Travel Doctor

Got a bottle of Calamine lotion, an antiseptic lotion & some tablets after 45mins of waiting -.-

Headed to Bedok 85 Market and had some noodles, Wu Xiang, Chicken Wings, Peanuts Soup .. First decent meal since the combat ration lol.

Went to pick up sister and her friend Zi fu and headed home .

Woke up around 10+ this morning, by our parents, to go to temple to pray, cos this year, Horse, Dragon, and i think Dog and Rooster are in the Offended-Celestial-Animals list. at Liang Shan Shuang Lin Monastery @ Toa Payoh.

Headed to Chinatown later, to lao Yu-Sheng, and had some dim sums for lunch.

While Mum headed to play mj with her friends fetched by my dad, me and WendyT go walk walk around Chinatown.

My sister, looking at her face, and how excited she was, when walking around Chinatown, makes me feel happy and proud as her brother. Dunno why LOL.

Probably the fact that she told me J dun bring her to such places and shop, eat and walk one.

And we even camwhored at Chinatown like some freakin’ tourists haha.

After that, she headed to J’s house while i went back home and sleep. Super tired to think and do anything.

Here i am, just woke up from my sleep an hour ago, had Chicken Rice for dinner, drank some Ginseng Tea, and blogging this post soon.

The reason, why i keep all this bookout posts, so that, when I had the time to look back one day, I will see how i spent my bookout days doing what and what, and what kind of time management person I am.

Til my next bookout on Friday,

Cheers to all.
