few hours before i book back in on a cold and rainy saturday night for 41SAR live firing tmr as a safety spec.

time flies by too quickly. i'm growing too old for my liking. ): because cider is the elixir of life

1:07 PM (:
9.15pm
haha this week nothing much really. (: like friday book out then met weely rujun cheryl (and mj for a while) to uhh go pick up andrea after her concert though i THINK we were supposed to be attending it la. then uhh went for dou huaaaaaaaaaaa at selegie then the hurt locker at the cathay at 1130pm. which was totally :S hahah cause i totally catch no ball. like what weely said. its like abt this siao on garang soldier who keeps going to baghdad to risk life and limb for his country :S no idea why it got so many accolades, too arty farty for me liao la haha. (:
ya then after that like quite late liao like 2plusplus like that. so cabbed home with andrea lo haha but ended up dabbling on the com slept at like 4am. (: book out time cannot be wasted on sleep la haha.
ya then saturday got random frisbee game at school so woke at 7 with much difficulty then went down to school haha just like old times (: me daryl jack sampan nicholas jia jie wei zheng iris jinqing melvin wei jie. and jia sheng made a cameo appearance when we finished at 12plus.
haha nothing much also la just go down play play for fun lo anw also nothing to do what (: thennnn after that lunch at golden rooster then met with the band ppl at 5plus. cause uhh we had to support andrea's uhh some drums performance thing feel bad la if don't go.
wah and i was super pek cek la cause shell got the stupid promotion $1/litre thing then all the kiasu singaporeans queue like super siao like that lo. totally jam up the whole road the bus 171 come liao see the queue also don't wana chop in to pick us up. just totally dao us and drive off and as a result i waited like 45 mins for the next 171.
like crazy la it totally stretches all the way from the east to the west as far as the eye can see
what's worse, its not those toyota corollas that're queueing up its those sports cars and sleek mercs and bmws that're fighting to get the cheap shit. its like wth la so rich liao then just give it to those who really can't afford it can. so stingy! -.-
ya but i wasn't THAT late la. reached ps at abt 5.15pm heh. which is early by band standards btw. (: but its like D: damn stupid la. its supposed to be the official opening of the dhoby gaut green thing. the new circle crap they built while i was in taiwan. but like sian sian sian super waste time we were just waiting for andrea to come then after that we siam liao. damn dumb the emcees were talking with some ang moh slang like super cool like that and they kept screaming into the mike like omg please -.-
hahhaa oh we were intending to crash scream after that but then we got some sort of a prelude la probably more scary than scream itself.
okay can't really see but D: they make stuff out of trash bags and magazine pages i mean ya i get the point save the environment but still! so unpleasant to the eye! happy halloween D:
haha then yea met andrea said hi and gave her a free balloon that sean koped from the starhub outlet at ps there cause we couldn't be bothered to get anything for her.
thennnn dinner then we went down to school for scream hahaha. okay they said tickets were sold out but actually it was like super quiet and the lights were still on and its like super sian lo haha in the end we just went to band room to play cards like in j1 (: and j2 also for that matter heh. ya and weely lost so he had to walk in front of the projector that was showing some thai horror movie in the central plaza. okay lame but we get our kicks out of this la hahaha.
ya then 12plus liao hurried to catch the last bus home. then home (: okay i'm just rushing cause i needa book in ): ahahha lifesuckssometimesigtgliaobyebye (: because cider is the elixir of life

5:25 PM :D
9.30pm
HAPPY DEEPAVALI! :D okay haha the initial plan was to go sean's house there since its near little india and like dress in indian garb then roam around little india finishing with mustafa at night. but thankfully, nothing came out of it. (:
okay we decided on cooking in the end. either andrea's house or mine. but rmb what happened the last time when we tried sth like that at my place? the oven blew, the electrical system short-circuited and we had to go over my neighbour's place to finish the screwed up cake. so i was really desperately praying that andrea would be nice and let us use her house, but she was like yay lets use jiawei's house then :D so oh well. D:
on hindsight it was quite a good idea cause i was really zzz from last night so having them all come to my house meant i could sleep all i wanted till they came into my room. which was what exactly happened. sort of la. cause sean kept bugging me in the morning (or was it alrdy in the afternoon) when i was desperately trying to ignore him and continue sleeping. ya in the end i managed to get up and wash up just before they arrived.
thankfully, they had lunch alrdy since sean FINALLY realised that really. none of us can cook a decent meal. so ya our plan failed before it actually started. mmm yea so we didn't do any cooking in my home and as can be seen its still standing tall and intact.
sean and his new ugly specs! haha its not v obvious here, but really just wait till you see it. even weiguo said it was really ugly. D:
instead we just spent the day blasting ernest's hokkien songs through my speakers playing cards hahaha like uhh hearts. AND BANG! :D hahhaha like wth sheng heng keeps losing at hearts. first time still okay cause we all playing around only second time got forfeit still anyhow play walao and like in the end he had to lick my arm which is like super freaky like D: omg.
hahah then weiguo had to leave for church for his deepavali service, and then a while later mj came, followed by chungyan and cheryl (: ya haha then we ordered kfc delivery since we all like very nua like that, wah hahah wanna die la cause they said food would come at like wth 9.44pm. haha so in the end we went out to the main road there get drinks first la, since the 2 family feasts came with totally everything minus the main essential of drinks.
ya so we took the long walk out then got drinks and BEER. since we all hated beer, we decided it'd be a good forfeit when we play the iNever game this time. it sucks, but at least it won't kill. not like the lousy tobasco sauce at pasta. ya we just bought the drinks and were walking back home when the stupid delivery called, said they'd brought the food aldy. like 40 mins early or sth. then wth me and sean ran all the way back cause we were too nice to make that guy wait. walao shagged la. and we very very nearly had not enough cash. sean had an empty wallet after that, i had 25cents left.
ya but anw we went to eat in my room, then played the i never game. which me and sean lost quite badly. we finished our initial can first, then chungyan and cheryl, then mej and ru. sheng heng and ernest still had like loads la. since ernest like always diam diam hide at one corner and don't drink. but okay la this is one game, where you don't feel like a loser after you'd lost. :D
yup then when we ended it was like 11plus alrdy and they all had to catch buses home since can't stayover tonight. so yeaaa bye bye and happy band deepavali :D
oh ya and weiguo took a photo of my happy wall always wanted to do so, but i was always too lazy heh. (((: because cider is the elixir of life
9.12pm
hahah ytd since i had half day off i dragged the sixoh gang out to play heh whoever's free la at least. :D
yup supposed to meet at 7. and as usual everyone was late other than marcus the tikopek la who was alrdy in town with lokky.
so when like me daryl jam marcus were there we just decided to go makan first since we all like super hungry la. so yaaaa talk talk talk in the end we settled for thai express. okay actually i decided. since like everyone was okay with anywhere. swift and decisive ya?
the strangely formal casual photo. daryl me jam tiko jacky.
yup and then since daryl ordered green curry we used the leftover soup to play the recently-popular-again iNever game. but kinda sian though cause 4 ppl only. still, we managed to finish up everything (:
then jacky came, and we migrated downstairs to starbucks. just to uhh 'chill pill man'. yuppp talked and caught up with SOME INTERESTING UPDATES. then kinda late liao daryl had to go, then kangwee finally came from his st john meeting and we decided to catch a quite-late-night movie (: initially we alrdy decided on surrogates liao but it was at like 2.05am. which is a bit too late-night for us. and funny ppl at 11.30 marcus alrdy watched. so being the indecisive ppl that we were, we just decided to go somewhere else instead. to do sth less 'antisocial' as jam termed movie watching.
in the end we ended up at paradis, playing lan. ironically. ya after a 3 year hiatus, i'm back! and its like TOTALLY FAIL. cause we played L4D and i was playing for the first time okay me jam kw for that matter and we were on the same team, so we all got pwned very very badly like the other team consistantly had 800plus points, while we were lucky if we exceeded 50. HAHHA WE ARE REALLY VERY NOOB OKAY.
ya then after that like 2am liao i was like half drunk with sleepiness but kw wanted to go eat somemore, so we ended up at the 24 hour honky cafe there, after marcus and jacky had left. yup then after a quick meal jam's bf came to fetch both of them back while i had to take the NR. ):
came home at abt 3.30am i guess. since had to walk from paya lebar mrt home. washed up and dabbled on the com and stuff and then crashed at 5plus am. ya so sean now you know why i'm so like reluctant to get out of my bed today at like 12am or sth when you called. heh. (: because cider is the elixir of life

8:28 AM :D
3.27pm
life is so good atm, i don't want to go back to 40SAR. slack as it is over there, its even better over here.
being an instructor rocks really. (: every morning, if there's LIFE run, i wake up at 7am, get down by 7.30, and run maybe 5-10km. else i wake up a bit later heh :D then its over to canteen or the specs mess for breakfast (: no breakfast for us at the canteen cause the other instructors asked bala the food guy not to cater for them since they all don't wanna wake up at 5.30.
after breakfast i go back bunk lag a while then maybe at 9am i go down to the aircon office, read newspapers, play psp till i get bored, play board games or foosball or whatever's in there, play a bit of com, read books until i sleep, and then i wake up feeling refreshed (: and its just 11.30am. time for lunch.
after lunch rinse and repeat, and then 4.30 we all pack up and get ready for dinner. and after that, its otot nights out, book back in by 2359. daring enough, book in the next morning. and another day begins.
sometimes i get so bored its quite annoying. like the first day when i'm totally not used to doing nothing at all. but then again, i'm not complaining (:
like ytd morning, i awoke to the sounds of the 46SAR sergeants formerly known as orion company, doing their 4km road march with bulletproof vests. i looked down at them, some looked up and waved. the others pointed middle fingers.
yea and the encik here is super nice also DXO mr eddie foo hahha like today he was like eh brud-der what you all doing here, i thought i give you off today liao? then we were like no... you ytd said cannot what. and then he gave us this sneaky look and then he let us book out after lunch. monday's deepavali off, tuesday clear leave, so weds morning's the next time i book back in. life rocks (:
of course its not all play and no work la. we need to learn other kinds of heavy arms and whatever shit they shoot out since we'll be the ones teaching next time. then there's live firing to oversee like in november there's 5 live firings. 1st is the 41SAR, 8th is the ADF ppl, 11, 18 and 25 is the reservist units. so yeaaa relatively hectic. that's what they said la, but i still think we finish work at 5pm. its just not as slack as this (:
i don't know how they picked me out, but whatever it is, i'm really really happy and grateful. :D:D:D because cider is the elixir of life

2:55 PM :\
9.58pm
in a strange twist of fate, i'm a temporary instructor attached to ATI till jan 10.
so i'll be moving back to sungei gedong tmr just half a day after moving all my barang barang all the way to keat hong camp. by public transport nonetheless.
the next time i see my polaris mates (other than the other temp instructors la) will be jan 2010. i do hope i won't get too distant from them. :S
and though this is highly embarrasing,
well done boys. i don't believe i never woke up throughout the whole process. what. the. hell. HAHHAA. because cider is the elixir of life

4:01 PM :\
11.01pm
today's just not a frisbee day la. i should've just stayed in bed the whole day.
as it was, i dragged myself out of bed at 5.30am barely 3 hours after i got in, and sleepwalked all the way to sengkang reaching at 7.15am. thank god for the 2 cans of coffee.
yea anw today dunno la, i was so tired and sleepy i didn't feel like playing. and i was really quite unmotivated.
in the end, it didn't really matter much anw. we might as well have been there just to play the games as a formality and collect our goodie bags. didn't (or couldn't) really fight much. grouped against SIM NIE acjc rjc np. ya i cramped up during the first point melvin followed soon after that kw fumbled like siao nelson quite blur abt his roles genereally the guys were a big disaster. not really our fault since we barely had any prac. the girls did good though. (:
dunno its just not a good day for frisbee i don't usually cramp up after frisbee. today my back, hamstrings, quads and calves all cramped either one by one or all at the same time. it got so bad i asked jack to please use me sparingly. yea but oh well. 2 assists aren't that bad. esp when one's a hammer :D
sophia (kw's friend) melvin jiawen kw danette cynthia nelson me jack daryl. :D
ya then we went to macs there to change up and slack a while, before the j1s and jack uhh decided to go home leaving us with me kw daryl and sophia. yup in the end we went down to vivo there to watch (500) days of summer. its been a long time since i caught a movie. the last was UP with the band ppl on august 15th.
and wah (500) days of summer was idk. really really good. i enjoyed it. dunno haha probably cause its v realistic. maybe its a bit too good haiiii i got a bit emo after that ): but still. its a really good movie. to those who haven't watched it yet. please do (:
yup then since it was getting late we all went home. aching muscles and all. okay this is a crappy post but i'm not really in the mood to write much now. i'm sorry. because cider is the elixir of life

1.33am
oh and QUOTES OF THE DAY (yesterday actually):
#1: yongquan - real men don't have sex. #2: marcus - i never had a dick.
well done both of you winners. D: because cider is the elixir of life
11.49pm
as much as i can't believe it 4.5 months after sislack, i'm FINALLY. a 3SG. what a joke. its nothing much la really. sergeant not very big. but at least i get $900 a month now (:
POP was okay la not much actually my parents couldn't come cause of my little sis's ongoing psle. so i got other ppl to come instead (: at the expense of their inconvenience la. ya but then again i treated them to a great feast of free flow food at the reception, so i guess that abt evens it :D
with mummy and daddy.
parade itself was quite sian actually i thought the 40th anniversary one was more cool cause got all kinds of vehicles and 1 x apache helicopter in the middle. this one just got our cui ultras and leopards and BXs. drive in, march out, hormat for the VIPs who can NEVER all come at the same time btw. must one by one walk in then we must hormat for them like 029348029384 times.
our pathetic fleet of 2 leopards 9 BXs and 6 ultras.
then award for those boy-yonet holders and then this imba long speech by the chief of armour THEN the donning of rank. which is like the main thing la the rest is just filler activity zzz.
ya both of them walked like the whole length of the parade square cause marcus thought i was orion de then walk and call out my name damn long so i put on my rank first to take photo with leonard. then in the end reach liao she demanded that i take it off so that she can put it on and make her journey's worth. and i'm like okay so its my fault that they took such a long time to walk like 20m.
ya then the 14steps thing and (ANOTHER) hormat then recitation of specialist creed which is like o.o everyone suddenly got rank liao damn enthu like shout out the creed like that la damn loud never before in my entire 5 months have i heard such noise. they recite that time i was like wtf is going on and of course i just diam diam and whisper it out la 'i, overcome adversity with my fighting spirit 7 day mc.'
and then after that is like kelaur baris and drive past and then while ppl have to like stand straight and look smart during the drive past, me and leonard go into the veh immediately take out our pre-prepared drinks and celebrate liao. :D:D slack shit ppl.
ya then go back rush to send all the rifle and signal stuff and then it was like CAMWHORE TIME.
1 x bayonet holder + the 3 slackers wee jie jiayi me leonard.
and this is the closest i'll probably get to the bayonet la. with weijie and my buddy jovin. who's the ultimate slacker btw. and jiayi and leonard randomly in the background.
and with tikopek and lokky my fellow armour signaller.
ya and mj was in a terrible rush to go home so couldn't get photos with my all time favourite staff daniel. and the other staffs and enciks la for that matter. but heck care la i can't really be bothered. i'm not gonna be seeing (or needing) them anymore.
BYE BYE ATI. NYEAHHHHHHH.
haha but i'm quite glad with how it turned out la. initially i thought AI was like xiong to the max. turned out its slacker than infantry so yay (: helps that i'm in a slacker company and i got nicer enciks and staffs. and really very nice batchmates. so yea hahah i'm happy la. i really like our company quite a bit actually. even though i complain a lot heh. thankfully we're all going 40SAR. according to jiehao its the slackest armour camp on earth. so yay that's really good. (: we're taking monointake ptp recruits on dec 11. which means i got 2 months of lull period which means 2 months of slack. hahaha yay for 40 slack armour regiment. :D:D
POLARIS COMPANY. yea marcus i'm not from orion. i'll just die if i were there la. because cider is the elixir of life

9:58 AM TIME TO SPILL THE BEANS :D
4.58pm
10/3/2009 1:08:30 PM sean: oh u bastard. 10/3/2009 1:08:34 PM jiawei: haha 10/3/2009 1:08:43 PM jiawei: what're we going to do there ah 10/3/2009 1:08:52 PM sean: chill pill man. 10/3/2009 1:08:52 PM sean: LOL 10/3/2009 1:09:21 PM jiawei: what're we going to do there 10/3/2009 1:10:15 PM sean: chill out la 10/3/2009 1:10:20 PM sean: ie to say 10/3/2009 1:10:24 PM sean: i have no freaking idea 10/3/2009 1:14:42 PM sean: just chill pill
and that's exactly what we did. since andrea didn't manage to book a bbq pit in time, we went to andrea's house instead and we chill pill-ed.
031009 band MAF. andrea cheryl chungyan sean weiguo weely ernest rujun meijun and i since i missed the official maf at school ):
10/3/2009 1:17:48 PM sean: eveyrone sure late 10/3/2009 1:17:50 PM jiawei: duh 10/3/2009 1:17:51 PM sean: AS usual. 10/3/2009 1:17:57 PM jiawei: rujun mj you me all online leh 10/3/2009 1:18:02 PM sean: wonders who will reach first lol 10/3/2009 1:18:10 PM jiawei: probably weiguo or weely lo 10/3/2009 1:18:17 PM sean: oh yeah WEIGUO 10/3/2009 1:18:20 PM sean: freak later he on time 10/3/2009 1:19:52 PM jiawei: hhaha 10/3/2009 1:19:53 PM jiawei: probably la 10/3/2009 1:19:54 PM jiawei: he so guai 10/3/2009 1:20:04 PM sean: don't play play 10/3/2009 1:20:07 PM sean: ppl cwc liao 10/3/2009 1:20:10 PM sean: cadet wing commander 10/3/2009 1:20:48 PM sean: SHENGHENG will be early
yea so we were supposed to meet at 1.30pm at kallang leisurepark there. which is relatively near to my house :D actually i wanted to leave home at like 12.45pm one. but as mentioned above, everyone still online leh. so in the end i left house at like 1.45pm. turned out, weiguo overslept (shocking right) and arrived at like 5plus. sheng heng MIA-ed (again! D:) for the whole day. oh and haha sheng heng's brother really sounds like him! either that or sheng heng's faking me heh. i called his house and the convo sounded sth like:
me: hello is sheng heng at home? the other guy: uhhh.... sheng heng left home alrdy. me: (laughing) SHENG HENG ITS YOU RIGHT! guy: uh no i'm his brother. me: really. -.- guy: really. me: oh. (hangs up quickly)
hahah SO PAISEH CAN. D: oh and for the record, he still hasn't replied my msges.
ytd's big winner was unexpectedly, ernest! D: who reached at 1.57pm after his driving lessons. yup then i reached at abt 2.15 just before weely. ya waited a while at subway for sean, and when he came we went for lunch at foodcourt! ernest's idea. D:
ya after that walked around somemore, before we went to andrea's house yayyyy :D hahah guitar hero-ed at her house and then cheryl chungyan weiguo rujun and meijun came one after another so got more ppl half continued with guitar hero the other half went to play mahjongggg.
aiyah haha not really the sort of MAF my grandma would've been proud of, no mooncakes, no sparklers, no lanterns (okay we had ONE), no moon gazing (not like the weather permitted anw) but still. hahaha its like sort of a celebration in our own band way la heh.
ya played until abt 8 and then the guys got sian, and the girls were ALL complaining that they were hungry, and the girls were ALL complaining that they were hungry, and the girls were ALL complaining that they were hungry. so we went down to kallang leisurepark again to have our dinner. at the foodcourt again. how boring can we get D:
ya anw in the true spirit of chinese high boys we decided to get lanterns and candles and more traditionally MAF stuff to uhh celebrate maf properly la.
10/3/2009 1:16:35 PM sean: cos i cute ma 10/3/2009 1:16:38 PM sean: need to bring cute lantern
okay we had ONE traditional chinese with a lantern made by his brother and his girlfriend. brother's gf, not sean's (obviously).
ya so we got 5 more cheapo mass produced paper lanterns and 24 x 6 = 144 candles to uhh play around with la. yay haha went to some random secluded corner to play, the whole bunch of us loud giggly and guai lan ppl, and conveniently disrupted all the hanky panky going on among the couples there (they subsequently all left).
ya lanterns got boring after a while, so we went to play with candles again :D okay i didn't play with lanterns at all actually but candles more fun la hahaha. (: besides, candles are more hcband MAF anyway.
MAF 08 at band room :D
and this year's (: its kinda messy cause we got rushed by this security guard who got worried that we wouldn't clear up our mess after we're done with the candles and stuff. :S
ya the supposed group photo which was like super fail. cause weiguo's the one taking the photo cheryl's face is half cut off, weely's busy doing sth else, and blocking off sean in the process. but then again not our fault la. rushing la the security guard alrdy standing behind weiguo liao. okay la although he quite nice to us, dunno why we were rushing.
yup so we had to clear up our mess since he was watching us closely, and since playing with candles weren't encouraged, we reverted back to playing with lanterns zzz.
got quite bored doing lame stuff and fooling around so after a while we uhh burnt our lanterns instead. weiguo started it first actually. when his lantern suddenly caught fire while taking photos with some mexican tourist.
ya after everything was done we packed up and left for home. quite late liao la like 11plus alrdy other ppl had last buses and mrts to catch heh.
yay band! :D
[edit]
oh and i absolutely HAVE to put this down :D my dad told my little sister that i'm gay cause "he don't like girls so he anyhow choose a girlfriend that's why so fat and ugly" and he points to this girl in this photo on my wall.
the girl is meijun. i'm sorry but i nearly died laughing heh.
