11.47pm
dear god,
2009 has come to a close,
coming and going in a flash.
and i really must say that
this year has been interesting to say the least.
for it is much different from the other 18 years
of my short (as yet) but joyous life.
2009 has introduced me to non-working life.
and for that (and more),
i would really like to thank you wholeheartedly.
for frisbee,
for the once beloved j1 juniors,
for introducing me to the concept of coaching
(albeit a minor part only)
and allowing me the pleasure of seeing them grow
from cute total newbies to uncute decent players,
into full-fledged "hcute" members.
yes jonny i hear you. D:
and at the same time,
extending our stay at hc ultimate
by yet another year.
for summer league,
letting us j3 seniors play with the j2s
allowing us to learn from them,
and from our far-experienced opponents.
and more importantly,
for something to look forward to
every week of the AISL course.
for winter league,
for letting us have the opportunity
to play with these far-experienced players
to learn from them,
and to get scolded a lot by them in the process.
and for letting us expand our tiny social circle
within the frisbee circle.
and for the random small comps this year
(i.e. ivp, ghs, rj project zzz)
for letting us keep in touch with frisbee,
and for letting us keep in touch with one another
for those who have graduated.
god i also wanna thank you for hc band 07/08,
for giving me the best friends i could ever ask for.
for the company of the group of us
10 or so ppl week in week out.
sheng heng meijun chungyan cheryl weely
ernest junjie rujun sean weiguo andrea.
for obliging whenever i drag all of them out
to pei me during weekends when i'm bored. (:
and for keeping us together.
be it from sec one for most of us
or j1 for the rest of them,
i'm really thankful that you've let us stick together
after these 7 years of schooling and stress.
despite the girls having to go to uni
and the guys having to serve ns in different conditions,
its only by your grace that we've managed to come so far
together.
and of course, for the memories that will last forever.
like the late nights spent looking for alcohol,
the many many nights spent over at my place,
the many new year celebrations that we join in,
and so on.
all these memories are the ones
that ultimately matter after all is gone.
and for all these, i thank you really (:
for my family,
for being there for me throughout my troubles,
never failing to cheer me up when in need.
and for me parents,
giving me my freedom,
and totally treating me like an adult.
even though i must admit,
i don't deserve to be treated as one.
for this thing we call national service.
for the much needed break from studies D:
and for letting me get to know people
from all walks of life.
and for meeting true buddies.
who'd never go off and let me fend for myself.
and more importantly,
i really thank you for the money.
i really don't feel that i deserve $900 a month.
not that i'm complaining,
but i do feel guilty sometimes,
when i see that people are working harder than me,
yet receiving lower rewards from the organisation.
and this is only down to the luck you bestowed on me.
and i'm grateful for that. (:
god i also thank you for NS,
because it allows me to really appreciate the little things
that we all take for granted in the past,
like the freedom which is our perogative,
but which the army freely takes away,
like walking around in civilian clothes,
without having to wonder when the next book in timing is,
without worrying about the next thing to do.
or appreciate sleeping in an air-con room,
or looking at girls walk down the street.
NS deprives us of all our priviledges,
allowing us to enjoy what we have more.
you can't enjoy if you don't suffer first.
and god i thank you for giving us just that chance.
for armour infantry,
for being able to do sth that i'll NEVER be able to do
outside in the civilian world.
and because it really is less physically tough
and less brainless compared to ASLC.
for the friends that i made over here,
for going through my sian 5 months of course with me,
and for encouraging me to never ooc,
despite my valient attempts to do so la.
and not forgetting the scenic training grounds,
the exercises atop mountains armour has to offer.
it really is one of the few things
i'd never experience if i weren't in armour.
and i am thankful for being where i am at the moment.
for being lucky throughout my ns life,
for letting me be one of the 4/64 in polaris
who didn't have to do guard duty,
and for letting me get away with whatever rules i have broken
without which i'd probably have gotten sent to DB.
for letting me be one for the 2/64 to get attached
back to ATI as a gunnery instructor,
allowing me to learn more abt the weapons
before going back to hq to lead.
and for letting me be the one sent to hq,
while the other attached personnel got sent to support.
really. tell me which part of my ns isn't lucky?!
for mr eddie foo,
the nicest dxo you can ever meet.
despite us being attached only,
he still treats us like his own,
and gives us off as freely as possible
(i owe him 4 days off)
and for doing his utmost to keep us in gtw.
and for letting me grow,
so that i have a different perspective of life,
with more responsibilities thrust upon me (i guess).
okay at least now i know that studies is important
to a certain extent.
though i know i still can't get myself to do it,
but that's another matter altogether (:
hopefully god you continue to bestow your blessings
and good favour upon me and my friends,
so that 2010 will be an equally,
if not better, year for all of us.
thank you (:
sincerely,
cheongee jiawei.

cocktail brownies ham prawn balls shepard's pie fruits
ice cream baileys chicken and yea you get the point.
haahaa the food was so so so so so good haha :D
kept eating and eating, but thankfully
i didn't feel bloated after eating
so i ate more and more and more hahhaha :D
yup just lazed around and nua-ed after that
cause i dunno didn't feel like moving la.
eat too much liao v sluggish heh (:
so just played monopoly and card games
like slapjack and goldfish and uhh i can't rmb
and xbox and com and stuff.
until like sometime past midnight.
the cousins stayed over,
so there were like 13 ppl or so crammed into the room.
then went out to some indian prata shop
(don't knw, its ALWAYS the prata shops that are open 24/7)
to uhh drink milo haha.
drank and talked rubbish as usual
for like maybe an hour or so,
while again i was trying hard not to fall asleep. D:
then uhh walked around the neighbourhood
doing nothing in particular.
just walking off the food i guess hahaha.
then RTU at abt 2plus i think.
hhahaha initially supposed to watch some horror movie.
but then uhh the girls didn't want
and we had young kids in the room anw.
so yea we ended up watching a more family-oriented show
uhh spongebob squarepants D:
watched before liao,
so (as usual) spent the whole movie
trying to keep awake.
i don't know for what either actually.
hahaa my whole christmas is like
spent trying to keep awake la.
sounds really piggish BUT ITS REALLY NOT OKAY.
I REALLY HAD QUITE LITTLE SLEEP LOH D:
by my standards la heh.
ya anw movie end liao.
then got settled down to sleep.
then uhh i dunno started telling ghost stories.
which sounded really funny hahahha.
so we ended up laughing a lot instead,
and we all couldn't sleep. :D
see see see see see i'm not a pig loh.
i think we (or at least me la)
ended up sleeping at like 5plus or sth.
today woke up at like 9 i think.
ahah actually woke up earlier one loh.
like 7plus i think.
but aiya everyone still sleeping.
might as well go back to sleep :D
then uhh breakfast was leftovers from ytd
then went to lag somemore upstairs.
supposed to go play soccer after that,
but it started raining heavily
so uhhh no go lo bahhh ahha
stayed back home instead to like nua around again.
hahaa aiyah nothing better to do la (:
then my auntie sent us home at 2plus
and i like just crashed at home and slept
like some pig can hahaha till i dunno 6plus i think.
not my fault la, 11hours in 3 days
is really too little for me hahaha.
actually i was talking to christine
abt sixoh outing sometime this week,
over lan with the band ppl,
then i uhh forgot while getting killed at L4D2
so uhh sixoh outing didn't materialise
and nothing happened loh hahahha opps.
new year's maybe.
its just next week anw (:
postscript:
so there ends my christmas.
my favourite time of the year.
band, frisbee, family.
its the time where everyone
pushes aside their problems
to love one another
and to just eat drink and be merry.
its no doubt with a tinge of sadness
that i book back in to camp tmr.
because there's nothing else better
to look forward to this year.
but i guess it doesn't really matter,
because christmas 2010 will definitely be better.
i'll be counting down the days till then (:

TCGP!
7.09pm
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:
the presence of a happy family
all wrapped up in each other.
-Burton Hillis
prelude:
okay christmas has been one event right after the other
frisbee, band, family.
so i shall like seperate them
to prevent seriously longgg and boring posts.
TGCP:
okay seriously
this is one of marcus's bests artwork
in the 2 years i've known him.
okay so The Great Christmas Party
was held at my place there,
wednesday 23rd december 2009, 1600hrs.
shucks haha had to move heaven and earth
to ask my encik for yet ANOTHER half day off.
sigh i feel so bad but whatever la haha,
enjoy first, worry later. (:
met them all at paya lebar mrt there
and as usual like 90% of them were late.
including me hahaha but its okay :D
i left home at like 4.10pm
but i'm still like top 10 earliest yay!
ya so while waiting went to ntuc at singpost
to buy uhh utensils and stuff
which everyone conveniently forgot.
oh money was provided by jonny :D
who v nicely threw me $100
to buy paper plates and cups and forks and spoons ho ho ho.
but of course everything goes back to frisbee fund.
so me lincoln shanrui and zhiyang
spared no mercy to jonny's $100 :D
chips, drinks, and all kinds of crap
were added in also haha :D
everything just charge to frisbee fund hahaha
alumni liao jiu like that la
not my money also (:
yup so after everyone reach liao
went over to my house there.
and as usual, first-timers to my house
kept complaining abt the distance to my house.
WHICH IS REALLY NOT V FAR HELLO.
you can ask like the band ppl loh.
haha kinda anti-climax la
after passing by all the huge houses
cause my house is like so small,
but hahah i don't care :D
anw there were like 20+ ppl gathered in my house,
j3s (me and daryl only, sadly) j2s and j1s.
for some serious potluck which was like.
lots and lots and lots of chips and snacks and unhealthy food.
with e-hui's beehoon being the only uhh.
staple food or whatever you call it.
and since my home had no christmas tree this year
they insisted on making one
just to put the gifts underneath it.
so yeaaa we had a paper christmas tree la.
made by marcus and cynthia.
thankfully there was cynthia
so it didn't look as bad as initially feared. D:
at least it was standing..
with the creators of the tree! :D
yea while waiting for the rest to come.
played uhh random card games.
like UGLY DOLL HAHA CHAI LALA
cause ask marcus to provide entertainment
(as we all know my house is really devoid of entertainment)
then he v politely forgot to bring anything to do.
so yea. cards ahahhaha.
yea play play play all the random card games
then once everyone was here
its time to eat yay :D:D:D
hahah dunno i was really really hungry
cause i skipped lunch in the afternoon ma.
bookout lo (:
fooood haha looks a lot but actually its like
a bit only D:
or maybe i'm just hungry heh.
and a group shot!
ya but in the end also never eat much la.
like a bit of beehoon, lotsa pringles
loads of fishballs hahahha.
some nuggets, and flimsy sausages.
then uhh the food ran out ahhaha oops. D:
haha anw they went to play polar bear
which i thought was kinda zzz.
so me and daryl (and subsequently zhiyang
and yu zheng and yongquan and melvin and chai)
went to play beer pong!
which is much like a game i used to play
when i was in primary school
minus the alcohol la. D:
introduced by chai haha
after we got bored of playing blackjack
with the loser drinking shots
of the uhh vodka and rum
brought by daryl and joon fai.
haha yea but fun la :D
and yay we got zhiyang drunk after
i dunno. what 3 shots or so.
thankfully we stopped the game la.
he kept asking for more more more more alcohol.
then melvin and yongquan also like on the verge of joining him.
haha underaged kids (:
one shot wonders! :D
and this is what happens
when melvin gets drunk D:
haha aye i generally don't like alcohol la.
but aiyah once in a while la. (:
and for the fun of playing games ahhaa
like last time the i never game with the band ppl :D
anw its christmas ma so aiyah.
heck care hehehe.
yeaaa anw talk talk talk play cards watch tv
and play ping pong hahaha
yu zheng and his cheena-ness
then uhh they all decided to go home.
leaving daryl zhiyang (who was too drunk to go home)
marcus cynthia and me at my place.
ya gossiped and talked rubbish the whole way
mostly cause of zhiyang who was drunk.
and most likely to puke at random moments
so we forced him to wear a plastic bag
below his head there sorta like santa claus.
so can just nice vomit into the bag.
okay hahah so what if i used a bag
previously used to put my boots inside D:
its just like unlucky loh.
first bag i saw lying around the place ma.
anw he wouldn't have known anw
if i didn't tell him haha i so nice la
give him warning first :D
anw daryl went home at abt 1plus
then marcus and cynthia went to watch finding nemo
downstairs at my living room there,
while me and zhiyang went to my room
to watch (500) days of summer.
aiyah supposed to have some guy to guy talk
with zhiyang one ahem ahem ahem
but i fell asleep 10mins into the show.
so haha sorry daryl no info :D
haha morning woke up at like 10 i think.
but it was raining so hard
we couldn't move out of home
so got trapped at home.
breakfast-ed at home while watching howls moving castle.
nothing better to do what haha
my house so boring. D:
yeaaa then i can't really rmb what happened after that.
then uhh the rain stopped and they all went home.
the end.
great abrupt ending haha
its not my fault i can't rmb!
must see more photos then can rmb la.
will update when i get more.
goldfish memory :D
yea but on a side note,
chai's photo (without chai inside)
taken during winter league.
which is totally random
but i think its really nice!
hahaha THE SKY IS REAL OKAY.
it looks super fake
but its taken at sengkang really.
chai lala if you're reading
PLEASE SEND THE ORIGINAL K.
it's going up on my wall :D

supposed to go watch rj comp
then go comms parade in the evening.
turned out when i went to hougang there

but i was earlier so they asked me first lo.
hahah i was like totally unprepared can.
borrowed e-hui's white shirt + marcus's socks.
boots i got cause i was supposed to lend marcus one

free bubble tea free flow bananas
free flow newater towel and a shirt.
i really have no idea where rj got their money from.

ya but in the end we lost the plate finals
(AND the $100 food voucher!) to rj j2s,
whom we met earlier on in the group stages.
drew 3-3 then, but this time finals no more draw,
so lost 5-4 on universal after trailing 3-0 at the start.

haha at least rj are good opponents. (:
yup after everything was over,
went over to zhiyang's house to borrow his pants
and to uhh wash up and change a bit la.
