sending someone off, especially if its someone who's close to you, is really a harrowing experience. especially when you know that it might be quite some time before you see that person again. some rituals will have to be abandoned, and some things have to be changed. you might wish that the person didnt have to go, but you know that as a good friend you shldnt be selfish. there are times when i think i havent been affected by a particular incident, and i deny that it concerns me in any way, but actually deep inside it does perturb me in some way. its just that i dont think im affected because my ego cant stand the fact that im weak in some way? some fft.

timooo a busy saturday February 3, 2008 - Subscribe

booked in at 630 in the morning cos of some bunk inspection. yeah. even though we dont use the bunks. booked out after 2 hours then went to eat breakfast. visited the gym for a workout after that. bumped into song and a few of his friends there. damn coincidental sia. watched cloverfield with ron, ying, jan at ms in the afternoon. jan surprised us again with this posh spice hairdo (but she looked good in it). anw the show is utter crap. totally non-existent storyline, a cliffhanger ending, not very good acting. the only saving point was its pretty nice graphics. oh, and no, i didnt get motion sickness even though i felt slightly dizzy at the point they were running away. ate at carlsjr (mental note to run again) then went bricks world to look around. like so much lego stuff lah i shld bring the kids here next time. went back to church first while they continued shopping. then left church to go airport to send ying off. ate at fish & co wif the class after that. okay, i didnt actually ate. jus listened to the normal pes ppl tell their combat stories and stuff. ha jh was prob the most tanned and looked much fitter. yw looked really bronze and i think botak suits him quite nicely. shafiq's become more kung too. and he seems to be loving army life sia. cool. talked til like 11 plus then took nel back wif van. i think she looks super white fair. anyway, fell asleep as soon as i lay down on my bed after that really tiring day. phewie. tag van got any staff promos for like $1 mobile plans? i'll switch to starhub then! anw are you like buying skII with ur salary? u look so white! bec hahaha like duhh. it'll actually be a great way to relieve stress la. by transferring it to other ppl. lol yw hello! oh but u wont see this since uve already booked in. oh well (: clement clerk admin support assistant. in the hq building haha can come visit me if u have time. or if u wan anything from canteen can buy for u hahaha

timooo pre-cny sweep February 6, 2008 - Subscribe

skipped the incamp celebrations today cos i was feeling kinda shitty. yeah. trawled over to tampines after booking out to buy my paint for my room upgrading. spent the afternoon throwing out stacks of worksheets and notes from whoknowshowmanyyearsago. got rid of afew shoe boxes and misc stuff that i cldnt bear to throw away in the past. i think im actually quite a hoarder. sometimes there are things which i simply cant bear to throw, even if its not particularly significant. so when i clear up my room i must always remind myself to be ruthless. though of course there's some stuff that have sentimental value. so i cant throw those. but today's progress isnt bad. at least my room looks more.. empty now. and 'empty' simply cant be used to describe my stomach though, got superfull from the steamboat and other new year goodies. anyway one of my only relatives in singapore just passed away.

timooo chinese new year February 10, 2008 - Subscribe

happy chinese new year! by right it still is chinese new year, so i dont hafta add a belated or anything. collection this year is pretty low, coupled with the fact that one of my granduncles passed away makes this cny a pretty depressing one. on a brighter note, i repainted my room this year after many months of endless procrastination. and now its a brilliant green! frankly its a bit too green, but then my room looks much more uplifting now, so im not complaining. got rid of a few pieces of unwanted furniture too. so i'll probably be raiding ikea and novena again tmr. i need sleep too! tag van oh. thought you overdid the sk2. oops. gloria hmm in the end still nv bridge! ah. really super sian then bec well dun complain cos one day i'll give you sth nice for a change haha clement no la i cant see the parade sq from my office. my place faces the tekong ferry terminal haha chris ya its as good as not enlisting la. actually noncombat is more gay sia. damn stupid stuff. s1771m okayy. i'll drop by soon!

timooo beating the monday blues February 11, 2008 - Subscribe

there's this secret to beating the monday blues. take the damn day off. woot/ seriously. if you cant beat 'em, skip 'em! ANYWAY. in all my excitement over cny, i totally forgot to blog about what i did on sat. it was a reeeeeeally tiring day. fun, though. soccer in the morning with my 4h bros. good to see them again, and with most of them in ns already, the talk of the day was dominated by ns talk. played soccer by spliting into 2 teams: tekong and mainland. lol! but the new vs artipitch was real nice and soft. smoooooth. ate at bk after that before some of them went to watch movie. meanwhile, i headed down to simei to play soccer again, this time with the church guys. didnt really play that much cos i was quite tired by then and the kids were just trying to be funny. anw for the first time i didnt play as keeper at all since my wrist was injured after all that ceiling painting during cny. had bbq in the evening as a farewell for chris (church) who's going to australia. dammit man. ive been sending so many ppl to australia in the past 2 weeks. first ying, then jon, now chris. sigh. anyway, this is how i spent my off day. morning, booked my btt. yup after all that procrastinating. its scheduled for next month. decided to buy the theory book to read even though everyone says you can pass it with your eyes shut cos it'd make interesting reading when im free during work. afternoon, shopped at far east with jiejie for a while. far east was unusually quiet today. i wonder why. we visited park mall too, to look at some very chio (and expensive) furniture and stuff. evening, dropped by tm to look in on my other jiejie, who happened to be so very busy. then met mei and took the ikea shuttle to ikea for some furniture shopping, where she ended up buying loads of stuff while i didnt get anything. yet. back to work tmr. i really think the government should implement 4day work weeks. its like, so morale-boosting lah. but it'll never happen in a million years i guess.

timooo chocs and laughter February 14, 2008 - Subscribe

back from singles' night out with jan, st, trev, tangy, me. it was fun getting tgt with the rest of the single guys n gals and laughing at ourselves. nah. actually we were more like getting high eating chocs (that's a few thousand calories again) and laughing at the odd couples walking past us. freaking funny. cabbed today for the first time since the infamous price increases. i was actually late for duty, and the only buses i could take were totally crowded, so there wasnt much of a choice. cant really get used to the fact that the meter jumps 20cents each time now. bah. since i was on duty this morning, i got to take the van over on the landing craft to tekong instead of taking the usual ferry. so we (the driver n i) were listening to 987, where there was this special valentine's dedication thingy. then there were like so many ppl dedicating songs to ppl whom they secretly admired, but didnt dare to confess to. then i thought about me. did i want to dedicate a song? nah. did i secretly admire somebody? well, sorta, but not exactly did i dare to confess to her? i dont even know her which jus about sums up my problems. anw singles night out was pretty therapeutic. ha a bunch of lost ppl with lost love lives. what you waiting for

went for an evangelistic concert last night at indoor stadium, got to see quite a few well known artistes perform and stuff. anyway lj was so onto his 'being thankful' mood. which reminded me that i havent done my annual thank you post! so here it is. thank you to.... mei, tangy, trev. we are meeting too rarely nowadays! but then i could never have survived last year without you 2 cuties and 1 coolie. seriously. life has been much much better. :D elynn jiejie. you're prob not reading this, but thanks for everything. all the therapy, retail or otherwise, and all the lunches, and of course the tea and sympathy. :) yf & choir ppl. well, what can i say? you ppl make my weekends and holidays worthwhile. even though some of you ppl get abit irritating sometimes. but it's good. :) gloria, michael, billy, wesley. thanks especially for all the bridge tgt! among other stuff too 4h boys. now that we're (almost) all in army, im sure we'll be playing less soccer and talking more abt army life! haha hope we can continue meeting up for soccer and talkcock sessions! :) s56. its been an up-and-down year, what with all that stress at the end of the year. but its been fun getting to know all of you. even the foul ones. :) everyone else i know but werent mentioned above (like the singles party, bb guys, other friends and more). sorry its hard to categorise you all, and it'll be lengthy if i type out name by name. so thank you if you've been a friend. regardless of whether you're a man poo fan or whether you think vitasoy is gay. haha cheers!

i am currently stiff-necked and my wrist feels like its gonna break. stiff-necked while playing soccer on thursday and injured wrist while bowling on friday. i think if i break my wrist or something i'll just downgrade all the way and join khyrul or sth. office jobs are crappy, you deal with the same crappy ppl everyday, you get shite from your same old crappy bosses everyday, you just count down the hours til you finish work and book out. but then, when i think about it, i rather be facing all these crappy things than out ther chiongsuaing like everyone else. cos i'll probably die in the process. so everyday, i jus tell myself to be content, and that 2 years (not 1 yr 10 months like everyone else) will soon be over. but, its like, how can 2 years be over quickly when 2 weeks pass by so slowly? its been a week plus plus since the rumoured day of results was, and i'm still waiting. time passes ohsoslowly. in some of the little free time that i have in office, i sometimes imagine myself upgrading my pes and going for recourse and laughing at my boss' stunned face. of course, that's probably quite impossible since our section handles pes statuses and bmt recourses. but seeing how everyone else is, how they're getting tougher from all their experiences, how they've trained up, how they get to know some great buddies, im slightly envious. of course, everyone else will say being a clerk is better and everything, but there are trade-offs. such as wasting your time, not being able to make any good buddies since everyone's either selfish or elitist or gay or retarded, being looked down upon, ord-ing later, not being able to rise up the ranks, not getting an experience that they'll look back upon 20 years down the road with pride, no stories to tell your grandchildren, etc etc. its quite sad actually. all the supposed 'benefits' that we have are just so transient and trivial. at the end of my time in ns, i'll just look back and think that it was such a waste of my life.
