yay happy day today :D band concert today and being seniors, we were naturally obliged to turn up.
met up with sean and weely and rujun and cheryl in the afternoon. designated time to meet was 12nn. set by me la, the time i/c.
as usual, all were late yea ended up me weely sean played cards at left wing while waiting for the rest to arrive which led to sean wanting to do pull ups for forfeits which led to his great idea of a pull up challenge -.- weely did 6, i did 24, sean the stupid clerk did 32. but it was a stupid game la cause after that sean kept complaining his arm aching like hell all the way throughout lunch.
lunched at coro (no coro auntie!) then went back to audi to crash their run through. and play cards la. but primarily for the aircon. yea played poker cards, munchkins and bang. all provided by sean the company i/c.
then after jc finished their run through, high school went on stage, so we left the audi. went out then rujun started kicking his slippers about, so uhh i went to run away with his slipper then yeaaaa boys being boys we played around a bit la. long story short he destroyed my left slipper so i uhh forced him to change slippers with me. while he went around barefooted. kinda bad la but aiyah. ITS HIS FAULT AHAHAHA.
yeaaa then since rujun immobile liao we ended up at left wing (again) playing cards (again!) and in typical hcband 07/08 fashion, criteria #1: NOISE (made possible since meijun come liao) cause wanted to chase away the horrible ppl mugging on our left and right. like i mean, eoy liao, j1s ended promos j2s left mcq to mug only. mug what sai?! so yea. general consensus was to just chase them all away. so we ended up playing slapjack, heart attack and the likes. wanted to play goldfish, but it was like a bit too quiet la, so nahhhh.
ya played till abt 6plus till rujun owed us 36 pullups. then junjie the late i/c came. freaking 6 hours late hahaha. and sheng heng the get bullied i/c also came. plus cindy chung yan and andrea who came at like 5plus, (who brought nic tang's slippers so yay rujun can walk liao!) so yea went for dinner at nyny. at the old shell place there (:
met up with weiguo the organising i/c over there. yup so total 13 ppl haha. more or less the clique liao la. ya at nyny rujun only got like 50cents in his wallet. so bo bian must do the giant yankee burger challenge else got nothing else he can buy liao.
yea so that was the main highlight of the meal la. eating, and watching rujun eat desperately. and also got help him eat a bit la, really very xin ku to see him struggle to eat. if you know rujun its really quite hard to imagine him struggling to finish food of ANY kind.
yea this is so typically rujun its profil pic worthy D:
yup but our disgusting champion made it! :D with lotsa help la though.
the gang at nyny (: with lao ru trying hard not to puke after his free meal.
then yea as a result we were late for the concert. and coincidentally we missed the first half. and even more surprising was that it was the high school's performance! D: we really didn't know that we started dinner at 7.22pm. when high school started at 7.30pm. really. heehehehee. :D
anw yea rujun finally finished like an hour later. i really don't know whether to be proud of him or utterly disgusted of him la. i mean, its like 50-50 la hahahah. its so piggish, but yet i'm half in awe. D: its really quite an achievement what.
yea anw we just managed to get back in time after missing the first song of the second half hahaha. as usual, walked in through the front door, and disturbed the entire right side of the audi in the process hahaha.
audi was surprisingly full, so we only managed to get seats at the back. still. we managed a GO SEAN, and GO WEIGUO, and a MR LENG WE LOVE YOU(R HAIR!) and then our duty as seniors were done. (:
music was okay la i guess. orient express sounded quite promising heh from whatever i managed to hear la. yea can't rmb much else other than the guy emcee who kept pronouncing xi shui chang liu wrongly (shi shui chang liu... -.-) even i know its wrong can. aye worse still, its a flautist. forgot his name till sean reminded me. elliot, the half australian. no wonder chinese worse than me la. gimmicks was uhhh. okayyy la, borderlining on mediocre i thought. maybe it'd be nice for ppl watching first time la. but having started the gimmicks when we were sec 4, where the creative (and crappy) juices of ernest (and sean) made gimmicks like a total joke for 3 years, this one was a bit drab i thought. only new thing was the string bass spinning around. so said weely la, i wasn't really paying much attention at that point in time alrdy haha. but then again, we never had a string bass, so not our fault :D
yea then after concert ended there was this period of silence. like no one bothered to ask for encore and stuff initially quite funny la we over there laughing like siao. then the lights came on and we were like what, really no encore?! then as seniors as usual we felt compelled to do our duty and start something, but by then it was too late liao. thankfully they later told us they never prepare encore piece la else really v sad prepare liao no one call.
yup so ended really really quickly then went down to RUA to meet the juniors. sort of like a meet-the-people session. ya realised that. i dunno. our batch the ppl almost all came la. total we had like 20+ ppl around for this concert can. like more than 2/3 of our batch. 5/6 of flutes (all except yishan) 2/4 of clarinets (weely vanessa) 2/6 saxas (ernest junjie) 2/4 horns (sean rujun) 2/3 euphos (no kheexuan) 4/6 percs (no krystal and mel) all trombones. okay total 20ppl. which isn't that bad really. considering we've mostly been separated for more than a year liao i mean, collectively la, not the small cliques. music really brings people together i guess.
yea then since so many of us were here. decided to take batch photo yay :D
(clockwise from top left) me. sheng heng. meijun. rujun. chungyan. cheryl. junjie. bangky. jiehan. vanessa. sean. weixin. weely. chinseng. siyao. leng. ernest. weiguo. cindy. here's to the most awesome bunch of band ppl ever (:
tried to recreate the photos taken after arts fest 08 but aiyah too messy liao la in the end everyone just heck care hahha.
flutes 08 (:
okay i know mj said to treat rujun and her as one.. but not this far hurr. with a headless rujun in the background.
and now! :D
last year
this year (:
some things never change though. leng and his awesome tummy. okay changed some bit la. last year it was white and round. this year, its white and round and jiggly! he showed us really! D:
oh and apparently rujun still hadn't had enough food yet D: seen here with a stray jelly he found lying around the class benches.
look at that happy face! D:
yea i dunno la some part of me still misses band pracs. band la basically. the time spent slacking laughing playing together. to quote the famous jon lee of outdoor fame: "when i look into your eyes (during outdoor performances) i don't want to see you thinking about what to eat at kap later on" but its exactly what i do everytime. just hurry up get over and done with it and then go play and celebrate. no idea what we're celebrating, but just celebrate all the same. and i miss those times la (:
like the milestone sec 4 band chalet. with the famous L for loser sign hahahhaha.
and this year again, with the L for loser leng sign (:
yea after we were done camwhoring we ended up at kap (where else really) for supper there. then sort of celebrated sean's bday. initially sean didn't want cause he say what bad luck yadder yadder but aiyah we just celebrated for him ANYWAY.
kinda lame and cheapo (and pathetic) but its the thought that counts la right :D yea then abt 12mn went home la. must catch last bus la haha no money for cab zzz.
sigh its 3.15am. tmr got winter league in the afternoon. back to back games some more. need to reach there by 1pm. how to wake up in time.. on the up side, looks like the league comm heard my grumblings and whinings and somehow yiding got transferred to my team. so yay one more hwachong guy liao :D because cider is the elixir of life

1:57 PM tired.
9.56pm
this week was tiring. not to mention the next batch of AI scts coming in 2 weeks from now.
sunday was ADF live firing 30mm finished at 2am.
monday had to take 464SAR reservist unit. taking old men who can't rmb nuts isn't funny -.- i can't bear to fail them either, seeing as its their last reservist cycle anw. finished at 10pm.
wednesday was preperation for 464SAR live firing supposed to supervise them while they do boresighting but then again, they're reservist ppl. who really cares abt ns once you ORD? they came 2.5 hours late + they knew nuts, so in the end we did it all for them. plus we had to go supervise them to set butt (targets for live firing) also. a.k.a we all went to set butt while they supervise us la. ended relatively early at 5plus.
thursday had live firing. woke up relatively late (for live firing standards) at 5plus. veh safety for SMG was relatively easy plus had only 20plus firers, so wasn't that bad. night firing was h-o-r-r-o-r. everything that could've gone wrong went wrong. sigh. ended at 12plus.
friday was supposed to be recovery day. but then had to prep for monday 4 star malaysian general visiting gedong. whatever happened to the no-malays-in-sungei-gedong rule?! anyway we had to go pretend that we really had working tanks in very good condition, and is really really clean. had to go through OC vetting at 1130 then CO vetting at 1400, then CAO vetting at 1600. CAO came an hour late. of all ppl, the chief armour officer. late. talk abt discipline and setting a good example. worse still, the 4 star general postponed his visit to tuesday. sigh. ended at 5.50pm. rushed to catch the 6.15 shuttle bus out. and finally, the week is over. (:
next week's a breather though. monday nothing much on (as of today la) tuesday the general's visit in the morning, after he's done we can book out. wednesday and thursday OC force us to take off. friday is ACTC cohesion, so half day also.
and then the week after next. AISL for 2 months. 190 new trainees. 23 nov to 18 dec polaris, 28 dec to 22 jan orion. 30th 31st AISL live firing. how to teach when i don't even know my stuff properly. haha this is like. retribution D: grumble grumble whine whine sigh. because cider is the elixir of life

12:47 PM tour de ubin (:
8.47pm
jiayi weijie bryan leonard me zhaolong elvis polaris platoon 5 section 3 [FULL] (like they always say when i download movies haha)
went with my section to ubin today in place of the (yet again) postponed msia trip.
met up at 9 at tampines. took bus 10 from my house to tampines (~$2) then 29-ed down to changi jetty there (~$1.50) and then another boat trip to ubin. ($2.50) transport fees are killing me ):
oh btw anyone wanna AWOL to ubin? :D
yea finally reached at abt 10plus am. supposed to be a biking trip so uhh we got bikes la. $7 for the whole day, not too bad la, though we were looking for this $2/day shop bryan found on the net.
yeaaa anw just cycled loh. bryan and elvis wanna go take photo at quarry there cause they say v nice so must camwhore there. so like okayyyy and this led to our 3 hour odd nightmare trying to find the elusive best-phototaking-spot spot all round some random quarry D:
taken at ground level, but then again they weren't satisfied so yeaa we had to do some hiking and bashing up the damn hill to get to that lousy top of the quarry haiii.
hahah i rmb this spot we came here during obs when i was sec 3 i think. they said it was the highest point of the island haha any higher and it'd be unsafe for us. but then again. we're in the army we've been through worse so wth haha we went up further.
another spot further up, but being ns men, white tape = no go. so higher up we went (:
walking on
and on
and on
and on
until we finally reached. okayyy la haha the view wasn't too bad, but then again its really really really high. and steep also D: something just short of a cliff. look down balls really will shrink that kind.
yea haha and my typical don't-look-at-me-its-not-my-fault pose :D
and in memory of our buddies who weren't here today jovin the psp/ds playing dood-who-never-closes-his-mouth and zhao long who forever wakes up the earliest to stand-to (or whatever) in bunk.
yeaa and the section. okay la this was a series of 10shots that nobody knew was shooting. then bryan suddenly went like 'oh its shooting alrdy leh' and then everyone just started pushing around and doing random and stupid stuff.
ya okay so bryang and elvis happy liao, then we went all the way down again for our much needed break. at some random small shop specially decorated to attract attention. -.- very lame, but whatever, quite hip for a 60plus y/o man la i guess..
yup after our long long long break (no thanks to the giant fan that man put in his shop) cycled to like the legendary chek jawa so widely promoted by ms yap my geog teacher in sec 2. haha actually we planned to go at low tide one but after our morning exertions of course we late la. and we reached at like super high tide can. hahah can't see nuts at all.
but still, super super tiring can the road there is like one long uphill then another long down hill. uphill super sian la, muscles burning like crazy hahah we all too slack liao la after the zhuo bo OM course. then downhill also sian cause the more we go downhill the more we know we have to cycled up later on the way back. D:
oh but more excitingly after we went to chek jawa the coastal boardwalk there can see bmtc at tekong! :D hahha yay lousy juniors say hi to your prison for 3 months next year! :D:D:D
of course walk in the super hot sun must take a break la. thank god for the shelter built in the middle of nowhere (: oh and break = more camwhore for elvis and bryan la. so yup group photo!
and the only sort of wildlife/nature we saw today mudskippers! hahhaa cute la. but whatever haha.
then ya by that time zhao long reached ubin liao after his church dunno what camp meeting so yea cycled back to meet him then had a very very late lunch D: hungryyyyyyy
our very latecomer. D:
and his act cute buddy.
and our very very expensive lunch. okay la quite budget la actually for seafood, $20 per person is quite cheapo liao but when you have like $30 in your wallet, can die can hahha i had to borrow (more) money for the boat ride home ):
:D foodfoodfoodfood!
and the latecomer :D
and there goes $130. craaaaazy for someone with $10 in my bank (PAYDAY IN 2 DAYS TIME. HERE'S TO MY 1.5k ALLOWANCE :D)
yup then left at like 5. cause i had to meet the band ppl at 6 at city hall heh. late la but aiyah nm la. afterall its probably the last time we're going on an outing now everyone split up into diff companies liao then i posted back to gedong some more. won't be seeing them as much.
yup so another boat ride back, another bus ride back another train ride to city hall and that's more than $10 on transport today. bike fare not included. D: the horrors of being an adult.
yea haha met sean weely sheng heng cheryl chungyan at glutton's bay there. then they ate while i uhh watched them eat. 1. i eat a lot, but not THAT much la D: 2. how am i supposed to eat with 40cents in my wallet D:D:
haha then wanted to watch my sister's keeper since all of us haven't watched yet minus sean, who was willing to watch again (and spoil it all for us -.-) so yea went to kallang leisurepark to watch kinda far for them, but i'm not complaining :D
awfully sad show la, after the show every one was like super sad can hahha okay except sean la who was being an ass as usual.
hahah then yea andrea came by on her way home then talked a bit then they all had to catch last buses home, so yea hahhah that's the end (: okay la although i was like super tired and aching liao i walked home in the end. transport fees very ex la booo ):
i owe: zhao long - $6 bryan - $9 wei jie - $12 chin yang - $2 sean - $11.40
