I just realised that guys possess the 6th sense too.

Investigation on the male 6th sense has shed light on how one can sense the presence of certain people who are online.

Hate msn yet I am still using it.

The accident which took place in front of Hougang Mall is a good lesson for young and reckless drivers like you and me. Ok fine... It's a lesson for me. See! this is what happens when there's a lapse of concentration (I assume there is nothing wrong with the Nissan Sunny) - 1 Dead 1 critically injured.

The bus driver said, when he looked up, he could see a female being hurled to the front of the bus. That's such a terrible sight.

So PLEASE wei lei... DRIVE WITH CAUTION...

i took a shine to you at 11:16 PM Anyone who enters the MRT gantry should also have the level of perfume coming from them determined and those who smell like they have bathed in a whole bottle of perfume should be barred from entering the train.

I was almost suffocated by the pungent perfume coming from a lady on my way to work. Usually, I do not complain about such thing but today I really could not breathe properly. IT WAS SO STRONG YOU KNOW!

'Not gold but only men can make.
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep
Who dare while others fly --
They build a nation's pillars deep,
And lift them to the sky'

- R.W. Emerson

Salute to the soldiers...

真是幸运... 让我等到了...
那是一种既开心又失落的心情. 因为高兴而担心会失望, 因为它灰色所以彷徨. 那种失望, like I said, requires a terribly long time to recover.

I am worried.

但我依然会继续等...

因为会有那么一天...

i took a shine to you at 9:28 AM Finding you was hard but waiting for you was the worst.

Since I gave my word, I will wait... Even if it means I have to stay up the whole night. With the slightest chance that it may come true, I will still wait.

Waiting... Patience...

Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents,
But most of all, a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollars prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother, Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do, that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowd roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
Or how his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Now in the chapel where Laura prays For her poor Tommy, who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

i saw a wheelchair bound person wheeling herself around in toa payoh today. i started thinking how i will feel if i were her. i hate it when people block my path especially when they know they are going to collide into you and yet show no intention of stopping. i say pedestrian should also take basic theory to know who has the right of way but that's besides the point. the idea is how i, an impatient person, will feel if i were on a wheelchair. i may need to go around the whole building just to find ramp for me to enter the lobby. i may need to get a stick to reach for the lift buttons if they were too high. i don't think i can drive anymore. no confidence, no esteem, nothing...

i pondered...
and pondered...
and pondered...
and came to a conclusion...

whatever happens, life goes on.

you're not gonna kill yourself just because unpleasant things happen to you right? so why not just pick yourself up and see how you can adapt.

having said that, it's not that i am going to do foolish things. it was just some food for thought. There are just sooo many things waiting for me and so many dreams to fulfill.

i took a shine to you at 5:32 PM You are the 8th...

I really hope this is not transient.

Feel so happy =) but I know that something is going to happen to change all this.

I think I will be disappointed again.

If first impression counts, clothes, perhaps, forms a large percentage of the score a stranger gives you. I am going to INVEST more $ in my wardrobe in the next financial year starting Apr 07.

I completed so many tasks today! The most efficient worker award, if it's ever going to be presented, should come to me! Thanks to my NS staff officer training, my skills in Microsoft office, which are actually quite rudimentary, are impressing people. =)

It's been 5 days since I last basked in the sun. I need the sun!
2 more days... HANG IN THERE!

I burnt CDs for the first time today. Believe it or not, it's the first time I burnt CDs and I am blessed with the opportunity to burn 38 of them.

We have finally submitted to the reality that my job can be completed in 2 weeks but we shall artificially extend it to 6 weeks.

Yes! I will be off to holidays in the last week of December before I face the secondary school rascals in Jan.

I am broke. =( I have exceeded my credit limit for this week and am compelled to WITHDRAW money.

I have been offered a Chemistry relief teaching position in RI. The feeling is rather ambivalent. I am glad that I can finally work with young people and, through the process, feel young as well. On the other hand, I will be given 6 classes to teach, which is rather taxing, and I am not quite sure if I can handle a class of 30 students, afterall, it's not quite like a one-to-one tuition. But the thought going for the sec3 orientation camp brings enough thrill to dispel my low self esteem.

I am beginning to dread the monotony of office work. The work that I brings NO satisfaction at all. I'd rather work like shit and get paid peanuts than to do nothing and get paid peanuts too. haha!

Give me more work bOSS! The number of hits I register on Yahoo (which is my homepage) can match the number of breaths I take during work. *exaggeration not intended*

I saw a Lancer with door wedges stuck all over the body at Macritchie. I am not kidding. Are they supposed to be carbon aerofoils? Initially I thought it was just another Tsengster's car but on a closer look the protruding foils were actually black rubber door wedges. Imagine... A CAR with door wedges stuck all over. How comical! Dangerous too - Can you imagine a door wedge flying at you on an expressway? It'd most probably smash your windscreen.

SHIOK... Feel powerful today~

Deborah beat me to the bill today. Indeed, getting treated to lunch by a girl was novel experience for me. I didn't think it was quite right, considering she's neither an old bird nor my boss, but she was already at the cashier before I could even reach for my wallet. SPEEDY. She's a really nice colleague considering she showed me around the place, popped by whenever she was free etc. when she's not obliged to do so.
I shall practise my shadowless hand so that I can grab the bill before it even lands on the table. =P

OK before you paparazziS out there start to spam the tagboard on how hey hey this is. I assure you it's not. NOT AT ALL.

My Temp job diary at Temasek has a new entry - firedrill. YES we did firedrill today and I suspect the glass panel on the emergency door button was made from bullet proof material. It was so strong that a strong 20yr-old young man couldn't break it even with the help of a ... erm.. stapler... haha well that was the only sharp thing I could find from my desk. It was then I realised I was the guy in the office and it was quite embarrassing. I do not know why but it's somewhat a female working environment.

歌手：阿牛 专辑：桃花朵朵开
作词:阿牛 友弟作曲:阿牛

我总是在那条路的巷口遇见你
你任由那头长发轻轻飘在风里
你在笑笑得如此的甜蜜
低着头依偎在他的怀里
一片忧愁悄悄飘落我心底
究竟谁独占了你的美丽
今天我又在路的尽头看见你
冷冷的雨却淋湿那天你的甜蜜
喔我多么想要靠近你
因为我看到你眼里的泪滴
我知道那是眼泪不是雨
为什么他让你孤单的哭泣
你那双迷蒙的眼睛在望着那里
可知道我喜欢你
爱一个人要怎么说出口
我想要牵你的手跟我走
你的脸淌着两行涓涓的眼泪
谁看了都会心碎
唱一首温暖的情歌送给你
我就在不远处等着你
我沉默的站在路的这头等着你
静静的和你一起淋着那冷冷的雨
喔请你让我靠近你
我会擦掉你眼里的泪滴
喔让我撑一把伞陪着你
我不要你一个人孤单的哭泣
我真的是喜欢你
为何让我等你等得那么久
我的心己泪流在雨中

Every Singaporean son will serve his term until he's done and every single breath he takes, comes a bond which cannot break.

I have max-ed out my abs today. The numerous sprints I did from 250 and 500 have caused some divide amongst my abs brothers. =P Well AT LEAST FOR NOW.

The abs punishing session resulted in an afternoon recuperation and hibernaton. HEHE.

SO sorry, my friends, for that black face last night. WY msged me... Don't worry it's not the timing of the movie.. HAHA..
BUT SOMEHOW LIFANG, in her words, thought that I was a nice guy "wei li" last night instead of the crappy "wei li". Hmm... Henceforth I shall be more serious!

IF you want something... pay for it. Take it like a man!

It's all about how much FIRE and DESIRE you have for it. How much you are willing to give up.
DON'T STOP. DON'T REGRET. TAKE THE PAIN.

I went for a tuition agency interview today. There was this ex-SAJC woman, a little older than me, (still dunno her name after like talking so much nonsense) who kept poking fun at me! SHe kept emphasising I was from Hwa Chong lar.. what straight As lar.. FURTHERMORE she was so "impressed" that I got A2 for GP. I suppose it's because she is an English Tutor. Haha at first I thought she was some clerk or what. ERM actually I thought she was a secretary.. cos of the erm.. haha NVM..
Interesting person...

I, having entered the service of the Republic of Singapore under the Enlistment Act, do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Republic of Singapore; protect and defend the Republic of Singapore bravely and intelligently, with virtue and honour, not sparing my life blood in so doing; to my last breath devoted to the people, the country and the Government of the Republic of Singapore; be loyal to the country and the Government of the Republic of Singapore; be ready, at the order of the Government, to rise up to the defence of the Republic of Singapore; be honourable, brave, disciplined and vigilant; obey the laws of the Republic of Singapore and comply with the orders of my commanders; strictly safeguard and preserve State secrets and official information and never disclose them.

The oath of allegiance which every enlistee takes upon enlistment into National Service. The words certainly sound like some kind of indoctrination but sorry I have allowed myself to be brainwashed by it.

I swear by it.

The scientific name of CB leaf is Dillenia Suffruticosa.

Vernon Cornelius, involved in filming a pre-enlistment documentary, said
As I looked at their faces through the camera each day, I noticed that from the third day of recruit training, the boyish faces changed, taking on manly, more grown-up facial feautures. They had almost literally become men overnight. It was indeed very moving to watch this change.

NS is more than just national defence. It's a cultural thing. It is a maturing experience which you also complain the most when you are in it.

The Army days are over. Actually not quite but at least the 2 years of NSF time is over.

I could still remember the day I got enlisted because my mother actually cried. She didn't cry at all when my brothers got enlisted some erm.. 9 year and 11 years ago? That moment is deeply etched in my memory.

BMT
The short journey in the fast craft to Tekong, acting so normal and calm, with Dad and yixin is still so vivid. I could still remember the oath of allegiance which I took in the multi purpose hall, the Yam rice I had at the cookhouse, Sgt Norman who looked so much like a jerk, my F coyline, the field camp when I rebutted my PC, the good days in Tekong, how much I wanted to enter OCS and how much I treasured my short book outs. I heard Wilson disrupted for admission into SMU so actually I have ORDed earlier than my BMT PC. BMT was quite a cultural shock for me because I just could not get used to the amount of vulgarities used. They were using it so freely as though they were some bombastic words or descriptors. Soon, I joined them. Those were the days when I started to have encounters with smokers. It was rather weird at first speaking to people while they puff at you but soon I got used to it.

OCS
... OCS chapter shall be updated another time... I am looking at my brother trade now.. haha =P

i took a shine to you at 9:17 PM The NSmen.

Here are some standards I have set for myself and my men.

Myself:
1. I will not stop taking IPPT until I get gold during my NS liability. Note, I did not say I will get gold all the time.
2. CPT and beyond.
3. Attend staff course.

Coy:
1. Bunch of men whom I am confident to fight the war with. They do not have to be the best coy but they have to believe in fighting for Singapore.
2. 90 percent IPPT pass. (most prob will increase)
3. Hundred percent effort for exercises.

What I am asking for of NSmen is attitude. I have a firm belief that our NSmen are the brightest soldiers in the world. Aptitude and attitude is our winning combination.
