+please dont read this.+

my most sincere apologies to those who were fucking pissed off when some of us (okay maybe it was only me because the others went home before me) were under dressed after a "well-organised" class gathering.

i apologise for firstly, being late. not very late but still, the fact that i am means everything. i said i wanted to change but still this blood-draining attitude of mine still flows richly in my system. i apologise for secondly, not engaging very fruitful conversations with everyone because i had stuffs on my mind. i apologise, as a result of the second "excuse", that i had to sleep on saturday afternoons thus, waking up late, and hence, the first "excuse". then again, its just excuses and you could just take it as a whole entry of cock and bull to you.

you know its not easy, to say all these on my own blog where at least 500 viewers come on every month. thats not alot, but still, people are reading.

i appreciate this gathering, and i hope for more to come this way. im always looking forward to meeting up with the old people because its the memories that stays, not what the future is going to be. we can never be childish and seventeen all year long, but definitely we can be seventeen for one whole night. and the next morning, everything will go down as sweet memories.

i wished bombay sapphire would drown me. but it didnt. apparently a jug of $60 only managed to fill three glasses filled with ice and the rest barely another 100ml for warming up your throats. talking to dan did make me think, alot. i shant go through typing out my thoughts (i think its going to be very long and tedious).

it was a pretty screwed up weekend when you add the last minute dancing (or rather standing) at zouk with screwed up vodka cranberry to go along. i spent like nobody's business cabbing around singapore this weekend, doing what most big spenders do. i need to save up. i need to look at how i am going to survive in perth if i eventually decide on doing my degree there.

okay, enough of humiliating myself on my own space. today is such a special day. 30th september; the last day of september. hopefully, october brings new autumn winds and luck.

+the list is out!+

we are less than three months away from christmas; oh my god time flies! the problem is what have i done for the past year? i only remember wasting my past year away, in national service, doing my term. i am thankful i found a job very quickly, and got my financial bank filling instead of cut off after i got sacked by mindef.

i guess i got used to not having to wear green, or black, in my case. i got used to not listening to the radio throughout the night, not having to sleep on grey bedsheets which is supposed to be white due to footprints, not having to bath in ice-cold water, not getting scoldings for wearing the inappropriate attire at lunch.

now that i got a job, i miss reading. real chilling out on my bed reading a book, drinking my coffee and listening to my music. now i got less time for myself; im basically selling myself to the company. im still on the search for literature students blogging, because they write such beautiful language, something i love reading.

this year my christmas list would mostly be filled with books to read, because im running out of cash to purchase my reads. the library is such a noisy place, i find, somehow, because kids these days love to crash there, and talk. so if you have any nice reads, you can send them to my house (get my address from me! i'd gladly send it to you)

there's this guy in my company that love to flirt. he's a married man, but he's always hitting on the office ladies. i guess this is what happens in the office. to them, im just a little boy who doesnt know anything. we shant tell them how free we are being single.

+chuck and larry+

i want to laugh it out. its really very funny, lah. pressure is slowly building up from work i think i can handle it! its not really that stressful yet. just things i (or rather my boss) hope to see by the end of my probation period, i think i cant really do them as well as those experienced but disorganised bunch of workers.

you might ask, why am i laughing? im laughing at how a piece of certificate makes rats run round and round the wheel, day in day out. im laughing at how luck can make you score in a freak o levels, then you succeed in life. im laughing at how someone strikes lottery once, then makes tons of money. im laughing at how clueless i am in life. how crappy i feel every night when i go to bed.

the past week at work was not really boring. there was moon cakes delivered to every department every day. it wasnt from the bosses, it was from the clients we had all over singapore. the different types of moon cakes i've had ranges from the traditional bakes cakes to the colourful snow skin moon cakes with chocolate and rum inside. now i am all sick and drippy. i feel so much better now after a day's rest.

the movie "i now pronounce you chuck and larry" was one of the funniest show i've seen. the m18 rating probably sent many away from the theatres, but there were so many couples, be it gay or not, catching it with us. gay issues continued to be surfacing worldwide, im sure it will carry on for the next, 50 years? its funny to watch gays at work, but dont you make fun of them, they might appear behind your back anytime. lol. you must catch the show if you are above 18. if not, wait for the dvd.

+experienced ones+

i have been talking to different people of late. the work place is such a sophisticated place there's people of all kinds gathered round. in my department, where experience comes above skills, nothing on paper actually works for the experienced. there's no use talking to them unless you can do it. i like how these experienced workers do their work. they dont have to look at the paper. they just do. then they try to change to formula to look like the original one. power lah.

i have learnt to look at this group of people with a different perspective. they are a bunch who have gone through two-thirds of their lives, and have gone through being a child, a teenager, a dad, and a grandfather. im sure they got lots more to talk about over coffee.

show this people some respect. they were there even before singapore was born.

+10 easy steps.+

run. stop. run. stop. (he starts to say while i do)
face your opponent. (i smile at him)
go to the left. (i got the wrong foot forward)
shift your body weight to the right. (i nearly lost balance)
you are doing it the wrong way. (he laughs at my silly actions)
like this. (he shows me how to do it)
step over with your right leg
step over with your left leg (this is easy)
bring the ball closer with your right and shift to the left. (this is not very hard to grasp)
run to the right (i hate running)
accelerate and leave your opponent in a cloud of dust. (i did it!)

soccer is very fun. it bonds people, mostly the predominant gender. i have not seen a girl-friend play it before. it is going to be very stunning. i am going to find myself back in my favourite old pastime.

+i love my september life+

i could summarise this week as eventful. interesting. fruitful. however you want to put it. it was new. something i havent been through. maybe for 2 month of attachment. it was very nice to experience again, after 2 long years in national service. i think i still need one more week to full adapt to the new place, more of knowing the different workers we have in the company, and how they actually work, in order to improve work effectiveness.

i caught two movies over the weekend. i never realised it until just now. the first was rogue assassin. very action-packed though i missed the first few scenes where pretty babes fill the silver screens. we sat down at swensen's for more heartwarming chats with the gang. its been quite a long time we actually had such a chance.

the second movie was no reservations. it was quite sweet towards the end, so i'll forgive the draggy start which was about an hour. the build-up was quite long, but it really adds to what the product finally is. so i'll still think its quite okay to catch it, if you got the time and money. if not, watch rogue assassin. im still finding people to catch 881, the home song stories and other movies you can find on the left column titled "movies to catch"

i bought a new pair of havianas, and got tuky tuky stars on them! quite a good way to promote your flips and im sure the sales would definitely go up! support local stuffs! buy the original Brazilian havianas flip flops, only available at newurbanmale! very interesting indeed.

the cage for four straight hours was tiring even though i didnt play every single match. my legs are aching, i need to start running to get my fitness back into shape. im sure it'll all work well if i start to get my lazy ass to start donning my PT kit. enough of updates. once again, life after national service is so sweet. i simply love keeping my 13 year old pink IC, my hair, and my discipline to myself. i heard the reservist is around the corner. i better enjoy the moment before they take me back again.

+im so famous+

im the newest addition to my company! the WHOLE company knows me now, i think. if they read their emails, which i think they fervently do every few hours. they got my name, my picture to drool over. plus my boss had to give a brief tour of the whole place, so i had to shake hands with almost everyone, and put on a fake smile. there are so many people in the company! i have problems trying to remember everybody. so bear with me.
anyway, im not going to be serving for a very very long time, so there's really no point making everybody remember me.

i think they are going to set up my computer for me really soon, and i heard i will be getting an email account as a result. sounds like they want to keep me there for a really long time, if i allow them to. what about my future degree!?

okay i know its still quite early for any decisions. im only 3 days into my job and i got 3 months to complete! for now, more rest.

+first day.+

thanks for asking, you people. at least ten of you remembered that i start work today. in order to answer the same thing over and over again (which i already have been doing), first day was boring! there was nothing much to do for the first day because i wasnt orientated with the surroundings.

the workplace resembles something like my attachment company, and the big machines are so nostalgic. reminds me of the days back in school. they really prepare us well for work lah. its true! im sure there are more things to explore, especially with everybody knowing my name within one day, while i have so many names and faces to digest. im getting my new work desk and telephone by tomorrow! so you all can actually find me at work. till the next time.

+going crazy.+

my first job which i went through an actual interview. so excited. im so tired and im starting to think how tiring its going to get when i actually wake up every single morning at 0530. reminds me of the old army days in BMT. cant imagine going from my home from the north east to the west.

the apprehension! i hate it man. i still remember i got this feeling one day before i went to secondary school. then it was going to first three month of junior college. then came polytechnic days. the most recent one, one day before enlistment. now its here again! im so bad at adapting into new environment i think i am going to hate it at first while i try to get used to the new place.

alright. i better start getting some rest before the rest of the week i feel lethargic and restless. more updates of the new company and everything during the course of the week! check out this space!

+army rants, for the last time+

my 800th entry of my four years of blogging. yaay! what a good way to ~~celebrate~~ commemorate my operational ready date. for the past two years, i've been through explaining how sucky army is. this entry might be the only one im going to say the good things. all hail the pink i/c!

im so excited! its like welcoming back somebody who is away for a long time after a long trip. i guess most of the guys who have been through it can explain it to you. my long lost friend for two long years, and im going to see you again soon! my childish old picture of my secondary one photograph only means i have grown so much over the past nine years!

its more than the collection of our identification certificate that matters. it's the freedom of waking up at noon and not making your bed yet there's nobody shouting at you, the liberty of doing whatever you want at whatever time you want, the license to keep longer hair which can touch the ears, the back of your collar, and add a few tones to it which add more dimension to life! okay, its definitely more than that, just to mention a few.

i will spare you all the boring part of explaining the many friends i've made during this short experience. but i've seen so much which i don't think i can see in such a short period at the same place. i've seen quiet ones turn noisy, crazy ones turn even crazier, bustards turn into saints and how people back stab each other, right in broad daylight! not to mention building bonds within a platoon for the last 18 months, multi-racial, multi-national, i.e. people from all nations and races come together toward a common goal! definitely a metropolitan place singapore wants to achieve!

i've made so much mistakes during my course being a full-time national serviceman. those are painful memories which are meant to be remembered, and i've definitely learnt my lesson well and hard. count it luck if you want to, but those who got away need to learn too. i'm sure their luck would soon run out, if they continue doing the wrong actions. my advice to all little boys who have not yet arrived in the life-changing stage of your life - enjoy the process, and the people you are going to make. you may like them; you may hate them, just take it as reading a book. keep the ones you like and throw the rest away. do anything but don't you get caught. the consequences might not be something you like. stand up for your mistakes. you have to be able to swallow something you have done. or else, there's no use trying to be a hero doing it.

enough ranting. after tomorrow, an old chapter would end and a new one will follow. life changing moments. let there be light for our future!

+vexed.+

i don't know what is the problem with me now. if i know what is happening, then i wouldn't feel so vexed now. must be the lack of freedom, the liberty of lifting up your hand, shaking your legs, singing at the top of your voice, whenever you want to. i feel so restrained to be the real me. its easy to say, "hey, let it go for a moment."

i wished i had the support of the people who mattered to me most, with them approving of what i am doing, because i know what's best for me. too bad for me, they don't. they love things their own way, their way is the BEST for me (or rather, for them). sometimes i wished i hadn't arrive in this pathetic place at this era, where everything is still under experimentation.

i tried talking. to people. to whom i think made most sense to me. they made sense to me for a while. then i realised they were talking from their point of view, of course, they were putting themselves in first position. i don't really see myself in that perfect picture, not in the next 3 years.

i'm running out of time. for more thinking. more cogitation. i'm asking all the gods to help me with this tough time which i call, making a life changing decision. can all of you pray for me? i think i might die, trying to do everything myself. okay, thank you all of you who have agreed to help.

for now, i have to excogitate. it is a very long process.
