A month!..Tats was when i last blogged,din had much to blogged was part of the reason...

Ever since the twice a week running sessions ceased and the departure of my running buddy to another camp, my running sessions has been decreasing and i hardly run nowadays..haha...Running sessions has been turned to body maintainence time...

looking forward,since no local Uni wans to accept me,I think enrolling to SIM would be quite a good choice since overseas Uni are talking too much about moola and I dont wan to waste time giving a shot at local U again.Going for the Uni Talk this sat and hopes that it will give me a positive outlook....

TKD has really been slack as our weekly training sessions are either cancelled or I had to leave earlier. I guess the absence of training plus the emphasis on teaching has made me to feel luckstrale....dont knw whether it is spelled this way,...Gg to TKD has more or less become quite a chore and i need motivatioN!!!!

Watched Knocked up and rush hour 3 the past month...both are great movies esp the latter esp where Chris tucker danced to the tune of "kungfu Fighting" while at the Eifel tower...Knocked up is more of a sexual comedy kinda movie...the ending was really touching...

Army Open House is being held in my camp this year so the preparation of it has led me to see many specs....And again the what ifs flow thru my mind..but nevertheless 2 years is jus a transition period,whats more with 1 yr left it would be fruitless to be a spec...and undergoes the training again..

Alrite shld write till here...will update when someone taggs again...haha...Nah..soon.

North korea

Jus watched a documentary on TV about North Korea,it talks abt a team tailing a mission team secretly to capture the scenes of North Korea.
In the show, the mission team are followed by security agents from north korea b4 they depart and every action of them including taking photos,yes,taking photos are restricted to certain areas,their handphones are confiscated upon arrival....they are shown around and the roads are really empty and deserted,buildings with a glamourous front are jus a empty shell.....poster of the great genral kim are everywhere and they worship and praise him...despite the poverty and hardship they are facing...
North korea really fascinates me as a mysterious nation...one day, I really hope to have the chance to go there...haha..

Watched the match between home u n woodland with Mingyong last week...1st s league match of the yr for me...home u unfortunately lost and is out of the Singapore Cup..nevertheless there is stil the S.League title..jus hope they wont slip it away...
Watched Simpsons oso...a must watch comedy ...rather short:88 min but the jokes and actions inside are really hilarious and entertaining...the spider-pig and it's shit...hahaha...

Had a compete weekend,went Tkd on sat n church on Sun....followed by 2 day Off ...whoo...haha...

Take care.

bad bad sore throat

Argh....having a bloody bad sore throat,making me hard to talk and swallow foods.
Even if i speak,the voice is so deep tat it resemble Optimus Prime from Transformer...haha
Yea...transformer was great,the effects were fantastic expecially when they "transform",u could identify parts of them previously after they have been transformed..and the actress was a real beauty...and guess wat,she's the same age as me...she sure looked more mature..
1 day after watching Transformer,went to watch Harry potter and the order of the phoenix..a bit draggy but nonetheless makes me go back to this fantasy about the amazing power of magic..plot was simple..
HZ organised a mini gathering the day b4 dan went in...at his hse..had pizzas...Dan was really sian...haha..can understand la...FREEDOM!!

Take care.

MUAR trip

Came back from Muar,m'sia on tuesday nite..was a nice and rather enjoyable trip..hehe....

Muar a city within Johor is a rather quiet town,it's population seems to comprise more of chinese than of the other races..
set off on a high on Sunday morning and reached her auntie hse ard noon.On the journey,I witness ard 10 -15 polis motobikes opening the way for 3- 4 vehicles whose speed was so fast tat i couldnt see whats inside...spectacular....
shopped at their shopping center which i tot was rather clean...din bought much cept for a t-shirt...ate pizza for lunch..continued shopping till dinner time,ate their stingray the spicy n the non spicy version...hao chi...the spicy one was excellent nt forgetting the sambal baby squid..sedap..i think could have ate 1 bowl of rice with that sauce alone..

Went Malacca the next morning....a very hospitable and horny tourguide cum driver..haha...tats the word man...he has a few of that kind of magazines in his van...haha....understood frm him tat malacca was under portugese ruling previously,tat was y sme of the hses we saw were sort of european design...viewed 2 museums which housed informations of the sultans and the history behind...went to ate chicken rice after tat...the rice is rolled up into a ball shape...the reason behind was...the tour guide din say....it tasted more like the ketupah normally served with sataty...on the whole the meal was alrite...went to buy some local products b4 gg to visit the lim Bo Seng memorial b4 gg bk.....

Sang Karaoke at nite under the tour guide recommendation,a sleezy place with advise tat we pay 1st once beer are served to avoid paying the "girls" tips when we pay up at the end...and there was this uncle who treated us beer and seems like a happy go lucky fella who shakes his bum bum...haha...likes to gives high fives...and shout "yo ar,yo ar"Was quite drunk cos of the liquor he treated us....together with HZ....

The next day was spent playing with xue fen aunt cute daughter who 's less than 1 yr old..yea..almost forgot throughtout the trip there were these 3 kids...called Eunice,Gordan and beavies...who provided much humor n fun to us ...esp Beavies...the boy who loathes gals and the black black n smelly thing..LOL...
After eating a home cooked porridge,it was time to bid farewell...stopover at city square to have our dinner at vivo....Sang at a karaoke outlet there as well...the space was big enough for more than 7 persons..the price was big as well...43 RM per person...for a 4-5 hr session..it offered a buffet for us...which din prove to be much console for us as we had ate our lunch b4 singing..nevertheless I tried to eat..haha

Many thanks to xuefen aunt for her hospitality and her family for letting us accomodate in her hse...
It had been an enjoyable and fun trip with HZ,Dan,Bro,Sherry ,Pegyy and Xuefen overall.....

alrite the com ink running out..

Take care.

clubbing!...woohoo...

Clubbing with HZ n gang on wed....was supposed to go to Zouk, bt with the queue extending to the whatever hotel next to it...we decided to give it a miss....Went MoS instead to find a long queue...sian..went to this place called Clinic which was within walking distance in fact very near to MoS...

Was rather fine....strong air-con..haha...$15 entrance seems ok with a drink...however wat wasnt tat gd was tat it was very ,very cramped....especially the dance floor...people would walk past and brush against u...and i dun mean once every 10-15 mins..rather a few times in a minute...wonder whether the management actually did any form of crowd control...bad experience...the music was ok...

Going Muar next week....yesh..finally a chance to go overseas..haha..

Having duty tml...and it;s a sat...argh...n most probabaly the day after tomorrow which conincidentally is a ....Sunday...=weekend burnt...
Duty has been quite ok nw with this huge 3 tonner which has a MRS inside and this MRS is contained in a air-con room...and yea less mosquitos bites....

As for the TKD tournament...which falls at the last mth of this year...i should nt think abt it 1st...concentrate on my training b4 making a decision whether to take part when it is nearing...

Gangster

The first time I went to TRMC which is my current unit,there was this guy who in every way looked liked a gangster,he smokes,walked like a gangster and most importantly his face which tell pple to back off.....I knew tat this guy would be a tough nut to crack...

I was wrong,totally wrong. He turned out to be one of the best senior I have ever met.He gives good advices and teaches pple the dos n donts in the OPS rm...and the way he cares for his understudy ...was seriously in a understatement,caring. Knowing tat my vocation would be quite a zhuo bo and slack vocation, he churns out advices tat we shld find smthg useful to do...dun be like him who wasted his NS liability doing almost nthg....
And these words,mind you ,came out from a guy who has only completed his O level ...who has a little bit of hearing difficulty and talking...and yet he looks forward to life after ORD brightly.

His future jobs arent exactly dream jobs...yet he doesnt mind telling people abt wat he plans to do...and listen to advices given to him

This ...i think is wat respect most abt him...a patient and caring person with a big heart.

Went phyiso and saw a familiar face ....it was the guy in plt 1....he too dislocated his shoulder...while playing volleyball...advised him to go for the OP since SAF pays for everything...the shoulder joint really vulnerable..
Whenever I see my instructor doing unarmed combat involving the shoulder,i really shrudder to look....

This coming friday n weekend are burned!!! as there are OPs duties...sian ar...

Sai kang and more sai kang

Went back to SISPEC camp and was surprise tat there were so many OOCs...2 had failed the course...feel really sad..after going thru 10 weeks of tough training,then to be told they failed.

Looks like a recourse in sispec wouldnt be that possible now,my physio said that i may have problems doing pulls up and monkey bar or rather the bloody swing trainer..but!! these are wat but the physio opinion,will consult the Dr again when i see him next thursday...

Meanwhile been doing whole lot shit of work ,painting,counting magazines,cutting and pasting--these are just a part of them. The OOCs said that I m lucky to come back only now...haha...as there r not so much trainees around which means= lesser shit work...Master Max is a nice guy who doesnt demand much n the best is he gives nites off quite regularly...compared to the former staff....

The rest of the OOCs have been waiting for their postings since 8 weeks back,and till now they are still waiting. Haiz wonder wat the heck are the posting dept doing...

Alrite shld end here..

Take care.

7 days...

Happy CNY to all....lets hope that the yr of the pig brings more fortune n luck...
My former section mates at SISPEC are graduating this week, wish them many luck in getting their desired postings...
Finally, I m switching back to the military lifestyle....posting for me nt out yet or should I said that chances are there for a recourse which I am eager of...

Normally in CNY ,the highlight for me wasnt the renuion ,wasnt the shu bu qing angpows nor was it the renuion dinner but the lion dance performance.
However, this yr the lion dance was luckstrate as it could get...perhaps it gets simpler year by year...

Din went for any frens hse visits this yr...due to most of them had to bk in on chu 3 nite or some better ones chu 4 mornings...

My mother church frens came...haad been a long time since I last saw them and they still recognised me n my brother...haha...

All rite...shld write till here...

16 days

In 16 days time, i will be back to camp..haiz....this period really brings memories back to a civilian where u have all the time in the world to do all the things...days passes so fast n the best thing....no need to bk in on sunday !!haha...but it will end ultimately...

My right shoulder has been improving quite ok n i still dun dare to move it much..but physio has been quite effective...

Went jogging at the new Jurong West stadium with HZ ,and dan & broo ocassionally during the past week...quite addictive i mus say haha....jogged for 4 days stright n today went jogging again...jus doesnt feel right when my legs dun move haha....

Went Chinatown on Sat with BL , Kian n KL....lots of pple ,saw quite a lot of muah chi stalls..i ate 1 and it tasted quite ok...feels like jelly...then went over to marina shopping center where Kia n kian bought clothes....

The regular visits to the hospital for physio session made me witnessed the prison van n the inmates which i think is for their medical check up...the 1st time i saw it,was really scared,dun know y, the inmate was nt cuffed at the hand rather at the legs,think it was to prevent him from running away...the inmates were wearing sort of pyjamas pink clothes...hmm...prison is really a scary place ba...

anyway ..CNY comin ...wish u all an early happy CNY if I never blog for the next few days..

Take care.

freestyle!!

Hurray,I am able to swim freestyle ,tat is in 3-4 weeks time....the physio said....which is really a piece of good news esp when i read all about the negative news and whats not abt a dislocated shoulder..shld nt talk abt tat nw...

have been going for physio quite regularly and it has really benefited my shoulders agility...went to watch the match between S'pore and indon and s'pore din really played tat well....in my opinion S'pore futball team is very easily discouraged esp when multiple attacks on them then they will sit back n absorb and leave the goals to counterattack which rarely happens.
Mani although has a vast sea of experience is slowly losing in his fitness n 1 thing tat all backs need:speed.Against Indon the Indon striker was able to outpace him n get to the ball earlier than him while centerback precious dun seems to be able to clear the ball away into the right direction in dangerous situation....hmm...they must really change if they want to achieve the lion cup.....

Tml will be going church and a steamboat at ah ma house courtesy of my uncle..haha....slack the whole week then saturday so busy...what to do since everyone will only be free on weekends...

I dun really feel as if I am serving NS nw except for my ocassional glimps of my 11B...

alrite shld write until here...will be updating in no time...

previous week was spent at my grandma hse playing with my 2 little cute cousins..and time indeed passed faster ...

Went to meet up with my platoon seargent a few times concernig my injury report with once making me go all the way back to Tekong....missed the "fast" craft and had to wait for 1 hr b4 the next one comes... anyway it was then tat i realised there was a store selling finger food n drinks at saft...

Met up with Ming yong and kel yesterday n hearing at wat MY said he was learning abt navi and night navi sounds exciting...we ate at clementi FC and the western food there is rather cheap, steak is 4.50 while chicken cutlet n chop cost 4 bucks...and it's taste good..

Physio at NUH has been helping my right shoulder less stiffen..with the sling on for another 12 days...i m counting the days b4 the sling is taken off...

Should end here ...

dislocated shoulder

it has been ages since i last blogged....becos i dislocate my shoulder during SOC in BMT....was painful man..but the thing is after my dislocated shoulder...the Dr at tekong told me tat it was a muscle strain n told me to rest...then while doing some hand exercise at home....i dislocated it...hmm....wondering when was the 1st time i dislocated it..haiz...but luckily i was nt considered OOC which meant Out Of Course from BMT...which meant tat i need to retake BMT as a whole again!! many thanks to my encik...

I have decided to go for the OP for my right shoulder which would take 45 mins.....on this wed....he says tat if i go for the OP...90 to 95 % i wont dislocate...while if i dun go for the Op n continue,....it would meant 90-95%tat i would dislocate it....
But the thing is...coincidentally...1 of my TKD friend whos in his 40s dislocated his shoulder 20 yrs ago...n he says he is nt going for the OP cos he doesnt find it useful...hmmm..contradicting...

BTW....i screwed up my grading for my 2nd Dan...I made 2 mistakes in my poomsae, my sparrring sucks n my plank kicking was successful only in my 3rd attempt...too long nevver touch TKD liao...going training once a week or even less...tats the result man..looks like i still need to polish up my techniques...

Been posted to SISPEC>.....but dun know will I be OOC or OOT...cos OOC will means tat i have a chance to recourse SISPEC after my OP...while OOT will means I be posted to other vocation....HOpe tat I can be put as OOC n be able to recourse SISPEC....n pass my FFI>...seriously hoping.....

Was quite depressed n sad initally when i dislocated my shoulder...a lot of things n tots flash across my mind...would i be able to play badminton?but all this will have to depends after my OP....all the physio....

Good thing was I participated in the Passing Out Parade in BMT.....which my grandma was there to witness...sense of achivement was there....

keep thinking about being able to redoing SISPEC again...hmm....hope tat it happens...

Hero

Tribute to Steve Irwin






Steve Irwin has passed away after being stung by a stingray while fliming for a progamme at the great barrier reef today, 4 sept 2006. My impression of him was a very brave and fearless guy especially towards those crocodiles n venomous snakes which he normally call them names as though they were his sons n daughters. He cared and loved these animals very much especially their enviroment n habitat. This guy deserve all the respect n admiration from all of us n if the animal had feelings i m sure they would too be weeping in their hearts.
Above are some of his pics.
