sometimes being upside down is just what you have to do.


once again its been ages since i last made an entry.
after tekong, i stepped into OCS - Navy.

i must say, there's no time at all.
booking out on saturday afternoons and going back in at sunday nights.
plus the countless of tests to come.
and the long 6 weeks sailing.

interesting life right.
hopefully i survive this 9 months inside.
can't wait to have that one golden bar on my shoulders.

fwaah.

17 days to POP!

the countdown begins.

3 plus months just flew past like that.

lots of things happened.

all the good and bad.

friends come.

friends go.

part and parcel of life.

i still remember on my enlistment day

my sister told me

i'll be living with literally ALL types of people.

never really believed it till i spent the first night with my bunkmates.

she was right.

from the mommy's boy to the extreme introverts to the smart alecs.

intresting.....

so now, with 17 days to go.

i'm gonna miss BMT life.

leopard coy.

it's shall be the most memorable part of my NS life.

leopard coy, nothing beats us.

getting kind of busy now.

drill squad competition.

recruits' evening performance.

IPPT.

SOC.

16km and 24km march.

that's about all left to clear in BMT.

back home in tekong.

here's the start of another boring week in tekong.

IPPT and SOC are the two top priorities.

gotta clear them both and i'll be free.

2 more weeks to POP!

can't wait.

now im sitting in the bunk, watching my bunkmates play yugioh cards.

what a nostalgic feeling.

been doing alot of thinking lately.

about my future.
i've made my decision.

i will sign on.

since there's nothing else to do in singapore.

probably work till im old.

LOL.

then again, the future is always uncertain.

who knows what happens tomorrow.

everyone's having so many relationship problems.

hang in there guys. you'll be fine.

always remember this,

in the end, she'll be yours, forever and almost always (:

finally.

almost done with BMT.
one month left.
the busy period's over already.
now it's just PT most of the time.
oh yeah.

then it's POP @ Marina Bay floating platform.

pray hard i get into OCS. then imma sign on.
Navy seems to have pretty good prospects.
Airforce is still my first choice though.

damn.
nothing much's going on now.
life's getting rather slow and mundane.

heard there's paintball next monday.
mmmm..

shouldn't have held out.

you know, sometimes you just put your hands together, wishing that it was someone else holding your hand.

say hi to my 'grenades'. six of em.

spent the whole day yesterday at the live range.
didnt get to see my bed for like 16hours.

the moment i entered my bunk, i was like..woahhhhhh~

SERIOUSLY DAMN TIRED.

ever since i entered army, everyday i get more tired that the previous day....

ohwell, at least i managed to achieve marksmen.

a lil'bit disapppointed though, since i got full marksmen for my simulation.

but ohwell, had a great time shooting.

besides, shooting a rifle with real bullets is so different from the simulation.

the explosion is real loud, it affects your focus.

the recoil is real strong, it affects your stance.

the heat is stifling, it affects your aiming..

checkmate.

you win.

koy hak chao.

first time im blogging while in camp. awesome-o!

well, my weekend was quite alright i guess.
except for the persistent fever that keeps coming back.

now i've got some inflammation in my inner ear.

got some bubble sound now. blergh~

so saturday was real great.

watched inception with seth on.

quite a nice show i must say.

celebrated my mom's birthday in advance on sunday.

was sleepwalking through chinatown.

fever's burning me up that day.

ohwell, i still managed to enjoy lunch with my family.

happy birthday mommy!

it's time for the second.

days in army's getting boring.
training's getting more intensive.
feeling more and more shag after every week.
missing you like crazy all the time.

last night was an awesome night.
loved it.
it's been a long while since we spent a friday night like that.




so....i just had a sudden impulse to write a song.
haven't got the chords settled for this song yet but here's the lyrics.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey.


getting on board with a heavy heart,
sinking the ship just by an inch and a half.
and i'm going down,
all alone..

just when it seems like everything's going gone,
you came right in to catch my fall,
bringing me right back up till where i was,
don't drop me..

hey girl don't you see?
im in love with you obviously.
do you think i can continue waiting like this...
oh no no..

so baby please tell me,
are you liking whatever you see?
it may not be the best but all i wanna tell you is,
i love you.

by the sidewalk.

exactly one month in army.
life's settling down now.
used to the regimental lifestyle already.
what a weekend i had.
good stuff and bad shit all rolled together.
ns pay faster come, i need some money....

let me take a picture of you with me.

3 weeks into army and i must say, im getting used to it.
sleeping by 11pm. waking up at 530am.
doing PT after PT.
losing my voice everyday.
i sound totally different to how i was before army.
think i shout too much.
pfft.
well, it's real fun to sing and march.
at least it helps to rally the entire platoon.


so my 20th birthday is coming.
in 3 days.
quite fast huh.
i'll be in tekong that day.
doing my IPPT.
gotta pass it, if not,
i can say goodbye to my fridays.
remedial training for failures.

gotta train more.
gotta be
tougher,
better,
faster,
stronger.

nights people. back to tekong in another 19hours.
ciaos~

at last it's the day that boys hate but men reminisce.

ARMY TIME.
after so much anticipation, it's finally here.
so it's 2 months of physical training
followed by 2 months plus of BMT.
tekong for the next 17 weeks.
i'm already starting to like that island.

well, i'll miss my lovely bed.
i'll miss my computer.
i'll miss the freedom.
and....
i'll miss everyone.

but i like to pretend that.

one day i'll turn around,
i'll see your hand reach out,
oh, i'm only fooling myself.
but maybe when you smile,
that means you'd stay awhile
just maybe,
you'd save me now.

chiu wna chew some beer?

a little doodle i came up with a while back.

wellllllllllll.................
it's almost the end of this week.
spend spend spend money only.
wew~

went for a steamboat on thursday night with the classic quarto.
plus sangz and kexin.
haven't had steamboat for a while alr.
went there, the only things i ate were : beef, crabs, prawns.
i was eating and eating and eating and eating all the way lol.

so alvin made the best joke of the year that day.

me: oh man, i was smiling to myself when i saw the guy slicing the beef
alvin: yah, latr if not enough beef, they drag a cow out and cut. *makes a goat's sound*

LOLOLOL.

so well, after the steamboat
went to town for abit.
smelling like FISH according to someone.
it must be the meat sweats.
chilled around. headed home after that.

slept like free on friday.
had the best dream i don't want to wake up from.
went to vivo, then powerhse.
my oh my. what a night i'd say.


so now im home.
not even the least bit tired or sleepy.
and i still have energy to blog after a whole night of dancing.
LOL


6 more days till enlistment.
here we go~

touché

i just love this photo.
finally i managed to capture a nice side chair. :D
i believe my expression in this photo was rather............disturbing.

photos are like magic.
they capture a moment in a way nothing else can.
and when you look at the photo,
you reminisce that very second the flash went off.
the sights, the smell, the people, the feelings, the moment.


guess what, i just had half a tub of ice cream for dinner last night.
actually more like having ice cream for the entire day.
i love ice cream like how i like roti prata.

well, another week has gone by.
drawing closer to 4th of june.
enlistment day wew.
but something else is happening first.
something big.

PAYDAY! :D
2 more days. i cnt wait.

it wasn't the best week i've had though.
been rotting much at home.
walking home alone from eunos till jurong.
slacking out with peeps.
clubbed for abit.
went drinking at JJ's place.
rolling around my bed for the rest of the time.

it's a been a long ride guys.

graduation!

mom and pops. love 'em :D

usual clique minus ben and carrie. with the lecturer who said i could become a very good conman after my drug development presentation. LOL.

TM and me. with the best class mentor ever. so one day she called me and said
" andy, please come for the next MBID lesson ok? it's the last lesson already and if you don't go you will be debarred. that's the most i can help you already. do you need a morning call? "

last but not least, a photo with the director of SCL(S).
Dr. Joel Lee.

the rest of the photos...go facebook and see la.

well, for the whole time, almost all my lecturers did these 2 things:

1. they point at my hair and say: wah! very spiky hor? even the director of my school was saying, he was tempted to touch my hair while i was on stage.

2. they point at my earstud and say: wah! real one ah? very shiny leh! LOLOLOLOL.

one of my lecturers even said: " oh my god andy! i can't believe you're graduating! "

FML.

but well, i can't believe that i've actually survived till this day.
i thought i would have dropped out of poly during year 2 by failing maths twice in a row.
somehow someway, i managed to get a C+ when i retook it -.-

we have loads of fun im sure.
class projects.
weekly churning of reports like machines.
copying reports.
last minute studying.
1dollar nuggets.
1dollar wedges.
bubble tea.
south canteen nasi padang.
LTR-2.
sleeping in class.
sleeping in the LT.
sleeping in the library.
sleeping in the labs.

all in all, it was a good 3 years.
what else can i say?

lets all go forth together and conquer the world.
MB 0703 OI! (:

wew. what a priceless expression. LOL.

ahhh, another weekend just passed. what a week i must say.
it's the same cycle for all my working days.
sleeping from 5am till 1pm.

wake up, work, go home, sleep.
wake up, work, go home, sleep.
wake up, work, go home, sleep.

seriously no life huh.

well, at least time passes faster if im working.
at the same time im raking in more moolah~
and before you know it, it's the weekend already.
i must say, i really look forward to every weekend.

so to start off, i headed to powerhouse on friday night.
managed to get seth into the club.
asshole didn't bring any identification with him. tsk tsk.
heng the bouncer aga aga knows us.
if not it's gna be a tough time.
so we drank inside.
vodka, whiskey and tequila.
once again, i didn't break inside or what.
someone was dead drunk sleeping on my lap the whole time.
all in all, that night was good i'd say.

mum cooked CHILLI CRAB + PRAWNS + BEEF!

she's the best mother in the world.
and also the best cook ever.
she feeds me all kinds of food.
i really mean all kinds of food.
there's once she almost tried to trick me into eating some whatever brains.
almost died.
berrrrrrrrrrrrr~
but i love you mum.
you're the best.


then it's sunday already.
oh did i add?
my week starts on a sunday unlike most of my friends.
blergh.
but not anymore, since im quitting work this weds.
so yah, work work work today.
i wish i could have stayed home to celebrate with you mum.

went to find aldrich after work.
he had to jio me out at the wrong time; just when i reached home. zzzz.
i still went anyways.
guess what, i headed to bb mrt in roller skates.

im never gonna do that ever again.
literally sweat like nobody business.

so yeap. that sums up this week.
ahhh, it feels good to blog once again.

oh man.
i can't tell you how much i love my bed.
you can sleep at any position and feel all comfortable.
sideways, face down, face up and even hanging off the edge.
LOL.

alright, work's getting more and more enjoyable as time goes by.
yet i have no choice but to resign on 12may.

but yah, yesterday i got to do quite a few nice drinks.

- Waterfall
- Flaming Lambo
- Long Island Tea
- Singapore Sling
- Graveyard
- Lychee Martini
- Classic Lime Margarita
- Grape Mojito
- Strawberry Caipirinha
- Blue Lagoon

first time i ever did so many different drinks in one day.
doing the layering for waterfall and flaming lambo was the most difficult part.

my hands were shaking like free only LOL.

but all in all, i had a great day at work.
filled with seriously loads of laughs.

wooo, i've got my graduation gown!
and it's because of this that's why im broke now.

i want to do stupid crazy stuff before i go NS where adulthood comes.
i want to go on a cruise
i want to get on a plane ride to anywhere
i want to spend more time with everyone around me

just a random poem.

i know it sucks to be alone
oh yes i can tell you so
hold my hand and we shall go
a place so warm like home

walking down the streets
in this cold and stormy night
with only just a raincoat on
it's gonna be hell of a night

even rain coming in from sideways
big fat drops and little drips
