yup im back from SMTI with the latest updates..
ive got good instructors and probably a great batch of platoon mates as well..
one thing is for sure.. they know my name!!
seriously my appt as War Cry IC is like ermmmm.. expected/wanted/desired/wished it could be me?? well i dunno.. i foresee myself as being in the creative lot so all the singing/dancing/choreographing parts of an event, i wan to be a part of or better still be in charge of it so ive got my wish..
the start was great leading the platoon/s to the war cry that we learnt.. then came the singing part as a way of remembering the CPR Procedure.. i fumbled thrice?? i felt damn sucky after each failure but at the 4th try yada that was it there and then.. the lyrics came to me and perfectumundo!!
in a way ill be looking forward to going back and learning new things and hopefully will be able to get through the obstacles that lie ahead without any glitches.. pls juz give me the chance to be a medic by vocation..

sick sick sick
i dun usually get sick/ill/unwell u noe.. i admit i dun take care of my health.. notice that i didnt state good care cos in actual fact i dun at all.. i eat wadever i wan and drink wadever i wan juz that perhaps now im a lil more conscious of how i look so i tend to eat lesser but still wen it comes to eating i dun realli care i juz eat... so its realli a wonder that i dun fall sick ever so often.. perhaps its true that sometimes ignorance is bliss.. ive heard of some who take too much care which in actual fact could reap in the opposite results instead..
liek some girls they care too much abt their appearance wanting to apply toner laaa, moisturiser laaa, facial mask laa and all that and wad do u get?? rashes, blotches on their skin and even more pimples maybe cos of allergies.. haix wy do we so harm to ourselves?? seriously the onli products that i use are hair gel(a must), cologne(to smell a lil more presentable), facial foam(i used it as shaving gel but i apply to my whole face wenever i need to shave) and moisturiser since i tend to have dry skin on my hands and if i dun apply there will be a layer of dead skin on the surface and it feels all dry and itchy...
ive this ultra big ulcer on my lip that has gone beyond its expiry date!! it lasts for one week already.. i dunno i guess the sickness comes in a package for me.. they seem to store all their energy and fight long weary battles with me.. not too long ago i fought a bout with a team of flu, fever and cold for 2 long weeks.. so i realli hope the ulcer dies over before monday when ill start my medic course.. so wish me luck yea.. and hope i survive and get a vocation and slack the rest of my NS life away!!!

You're a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you're back is the latest trend
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
I want more fans, you want more stage
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
You're always trying to keep it real
And I'm in love with how you feel
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

"Darling, you'll always be my baby" = my girlfriend

so so so...
been spending quite a bit of my time with my "Darling, you'll always be my baby" this weekend with friday she came over after me sounding pathetic over the phone to test my power of persuasion so that she took pity and be convinced to come over on friday night and also my power of persuasion was pushed to the test on saturday morning again pleading that she gave her dance practice a miss.. finally i prevailed where i usually lose out..
we then went to get my stuffs for the upcoming medic course that im going to be enlisted on and then onwards to Suntec City to get presents for my cousins of whom bbq we're going to at the end of that day.. they had like these styrofoam swords that were dirt cheap at $2.. wy the hell didnt they make the swords when i was small.. i could have made better use of them.. remember the times wen the children actually make believe their world to be castles or as for me superhero hideouts where ill make use of the dining tables, tricycle and pillow cushions to be my hideout and imagine fighting with baddies all ard the house.. i even had different episodes and scenarios every day and like the power rangers series i usually fight minions while the great evil overlord remain alive and too powerful to be defeated.. but juz like the series my powers got greater and greater too up till the point wer i retired as a superhero..
no no no..
it was not the stress of my alter egos
nor was it old age that caught up with
i juz tot that superheroes and homework dun really go with each other
more so that the loads of hw keep on piling and i always forget to bring them to school..
haha BeeHoon can vouch for that, she sat next to me..
anyway Sunday was a laid back day too.. we went to rent dvds and then to NTUC to buy beehoon(the edible one) and other ingredients.. we headed back to her place to cook our meals for the day and juz sat ard the living room watching dvds.. seriously with all the hectic lifestyle and her busy schedule, the lack of space that we had i seriously thought that such a day was not possible.. i enjoyed myself particularly on that sunday.. it was juz a simple, relaxed day spent with my "Darling, you'll always be my baby".
i was happy..

im going off from work now..
u noe wad would make me happy?
it would be if i were to find her standing at my doorstep
saying that shes not going for her dance practice tmr
rather acc me instead while im spending the night alone
i juz had to wish for a miracle..

surprise surprise surprise
izzit true that one who has the uncanny ability of springing up pleasant surprises for others will never be on the receiving end of one??
im not saying that i give great and fabulous surprises but i maybe guilty of some small and sweet surprises.. but thinking back i cannot even remember when was the last time i was on the receiving end of something that i did not expect.. i dunno.. i dun think im asking much.. perhaps drop by and chat with me once in a while.. like,
"hey i was just in the neighbourhood anyway.. Wan go out for some ice cream??",
(i noe i noe i owe dayah/ina ice cream..)
or maybe just,
"Here you go, heard that u were looking for an umbrella. Just had an extra one at home",
niwaes surprises has a special meaning to me in the sense that someone cares abt u, remembers u or at least remember that sometime 5 yrs ago u said that u wanted something. it shows that someone thinks of u and i dun think thats a bad feeling. Its not a realli matter of how long ago or how long it took for someone to show that they care but at least they do.
Now lets see if i can rmb something from any of u..
i) i owe dayah/ina ice cream
ii) xiaojun wanted some brand of nail polish
iii) my gf is looking for a wallet/bag/shoes/shirt/blouse/slippers..... n the list goes on etc etc
(hehhe jux joking shes juz looking for a wallet)
iv) i promised my lil sister a psp if she gets at least a 90 in all her subjects at the next exam
v) isty apparently a soccer player now sooo soccer match soon?? gotta ask guanwen..
vi) memorise "Boston" and sing it to kak aishah
seriously i dunno if any of this will turn out as a surprise anymore since its all listed down and exposed to the world.. but hey at least i cared enough to rmb certain things abt all of u.. anything else i need to rmb?? whack me in the head if i forgot abt u..
now that would be a surprise..

"Sorry" at one point of time or another will be obsolete in answering to/for any mistakes or incapability of ours..
"Sorry" does not pose a solution neither does it change a recurring situation..
so my question posed..
saying "sorry" is implemented becos that is the least that we can do or is it the least that we want to do?

oh anyway.. now that ive cleared my bills and 1 1/2 hour later.."plink".. the line was back and i could call and sms again i decided to reconnect to my broadband again so i switched on the router and stuffs.. turned on the wireless LAN on my comp and waited for it to acquire the connection available.. there we go.. Connected.. Status: Excellent.. hmm so far so good..
but i somehow cannot manage to connect to the internet now.. the frontpage appeared and enquired abt a username and password.. hmm this cant be good.. cos do keep in mind that i havent use the broadband for a while now a couple of months.. and the last time that i actually needed a password to connect to the internet and set up the entire thing was back in june.. yes!! last year june when i first signed up for the account.. so there i was ransacking the mail pile looking for my previous bills for any signs of username and password.. i got the username but the password element was missing.. thats when i caught sight of the helpline no...
well after contemplating for ard 20 mins, yes i took that long.. i dun realli like to call strangers, be it ordering McDonalds and Pizza, i decided to call in and ask for help.. well waddya know its a voice automated system.. this would be a breeze.. well after following the instructions and stuffs, the onli way i could reset the password would be to call in using the account phone line so well that couldnt be that hard.. so i unplucked my home line from my phone and plugged in the account's.. no ring tone.. so i guess it could be the socket being loose so i tugged at it to take it out..
"PLAK"
it came out.. not the phone line tho.. juz the naked wire with the socket still plugged to the switch on the wall.. i dunno if u all are familiar to this but the socket that i have latched onto the wall has this mechanism that u have to push it down to open the socket where it will then proceed to clamp onto the telephone line when its plugged in but when u plug it out it will automatically shut itself.. but now ive taken out the wire but not the socket so now the latch is completely shut with the socket inside it since the wire was the one that kept it open..
so its now officially and completely stuck..
i need a telephone wire repairman..
anyone out there got recommendations??

well if not for saturday, the post will look something like this
apologies to
bee hoon/joyce
sorry i cant make it on Saturday becos u all nv tell me the place to meet
i was waiting at home for ur call but it didnt come
WELL, IT DID!!
so there i was still at home at 12pm and rushed down in 30 mins to meet the 2 chatty girls who were left stranded at McDonalds.. it feels kind of familiar yet awkward at first but i felt that gradually it would be okay.. well thats wad u expect of our first meeting after 9 years right? All we can talk abt was how it was and wad has been since.. we were not realli concerned abt wads happening now instead we remind each other of.. Remember that time when u.. yada yada yada..
it was a brief meeting with the girls and hopefully with more to come when i have more time and once my phone line is up again it would bring more room to communicate and hopefully te ease of it would allow more of us to meet up for a brief lunch/dinner..
heres to our next meeting..

Kak Aishah Boston Farewell Dinner
erm izzit juz me or does Edwin & Grace really,really look like a couple in this picture?? erm.. heh sorry Grace or shud i say sorry Edwin??
I should realli clarify something abt this pic.. As much as it looked like that i was caught red handed digging a booger out of my nostril, its realli not!! Seriously!! look to my right, see that gentleman over there, its his actualli.. i mean look at his facial expression.. he's saying..
"Ehhh, why u show it to the camera??"
and thats xiaojun's hand indicating that it would be twice as disgusting if it was my booger instead.. well after all that was explained in its own true form, i practically enjoyed myself.. except for the booger part.. SHIT!! its still stuck to my finger!!
its nice to know that after 5 yrs.. gosh thats quite a while.. we're still able to complement each other and communicate without missing that many beats.. we still act as old as we were and our chemistry and bond amongst each other hasnt really diminish.. we still hold true to our different personalities and keep them intact so much so that the comfort we enjoy being around each other is still evident today..
its been nice to catch with u guys.. some more than others..
heres to u kak for a safe trip and safe return..

so a few days/weeks ago i wrote that i had $186.75 left on my tab to settle on my phone bill and most probably i can settle it in time wen my pay comes a calling on the 10th and finally after 3 long mths of being without contact, always MIA, i would finally be able to be contacted and contact ppl again.... well theres a few things i wanna say..
Firstly, my balance was not $186.75.. Its $136.75.. so yippee!! yes i know.. meaning i have less to pay so no problemo...
but wad in the world did this mth's bill state?????
last week i received a letter that stated that my account for both my broadband and my phone has been temporarily suspended due to frequent reminders to settle my bill.. one thing i dun understand.. dun they receive my monthly payments?? i paid $100 every mth without fail so wads the big idea about not settling my bill?? cant they see that I AM trying to settle my bill?? wads wrong with this ppl??
well thats not the point.. like i said after receiving the letter i was like.. FINE.. Ill pay and settle the bill this coming payday and show u that i AM able to settle my debts..
but wad did they do???? they charge me $73 bucks for this month's "usage".. I was like "didnt u juz suspend my account?? meaning that i cant and didnt use the broadband to surf the net which i dun becos i usually leech from my neighbours and it has been ages since i tried to call or received any calls from anybody..
so my question is wer did the 73 bucks come from?? the plan is worth $69 bucks and it is for BOTH internet and phone.. so if i dun have any phone services nor Broadband services now and with the letter that it has been suspended wy did they still charge me?????
now i have to pay $210??? wad e hell laaa..
anything i can do abt this??
