Campaign !!!

I checked my savings in my bank acct this morning... i am getting broke

Not much money left inside.

Damn, this means i have to spend less and earn more.

Income (Y) = Consumption (C) + Savings (S)

For S to increase, C must decrease since Y is constant for my state.

Hence, i decide to launch "BE NICE TO CMH CAMPAIGN". This will start immediately and will end on the day i decide it shall end.

As part of the "BE NICE TO CMH CAMPAIGN", i shall also launch the "FEED CMH FUND" where you guys can feel free to donate a significant amt above $2 daily. Hahaha.

This fund shall cover CMH's daily expenses including food, transport and also luxury good (the sony cybershot t series)

How does it sound? Cool rite? Please donate generously to this charity. Hahahaha.

Ok, i am just being lame.

最近比较烦

好烦好烦！新年要到了，我却在为工作烦！去年国外演习回归的药物量有大问题！本医疗中心的品质审查又让我这个药物部门主任搞得团团转！老板医生又不在！一些新人的工作态度与表现又不佳！问题是一波未平，一波又起！好烦啊！！！

K歌比赛大失败！

今天是本人和其余三个BMT好友的K歌比赛。比赛无法完成落幕，最后宣告失败！哈哈！原本是四人的比赛，最后搞得三缺一，因为大只老得陪家人去庙里烧香拜佛，最后“宣告退出”！而三人行的我们最后临场加入多一位“外人”，那就是Phee的新女友。此外，缺乏时间观念的我竟然迟到了足足半个小时，赶到现场是已气不足声，让我感到非常惭愧。但是，the show must still go on，因此我们也开唱了！我们唱了很多自己喜欢的歌曲，比赛各个回合的歌曲也勉强按照着唱。

今天的K歌大赛最终没分出胜负，因为大家都有些失水准。哈哈！大家都not on form。首先是phee在唱了指定歌曲《天使嫉妒的生活》后开始破功，然后轮到wil忘曲忘词，还有本人常常气不足而差点唱走音！连我最熟悉的《到不了》也在后半段的副歌唱错调，丢脸死了！但是我们还是很enjoy，我想这才是最重要的！快乐的时光总是很快过去，三个小时的K也K完了。在离场之前，不忘拍张照留念。

就在这个时候，当我要操纵我的数码相机的灯光按钮时，相机突然停止操作，有如暴毙版怎么按也无法开动。最终宣布数码相机抢救无效，不治身亡！所谓“旧的不去，新的不来”，这时的我产生了要买新数码相机的念头！由于军营规定不能携带负有相机功能的手机，而我又喜欢照相扑抓生活里的美好画面，所以我想这新相机是非买不可了！哈哈！刚刚浏览了新力（Sony）的网站，好想拥有一台Sony Cybershot T Series的新数码相机，但是价钱方面又有点惊人，所以不知如何是好。本人的收录已经很惨淡，加上要存钱为将来上大学的开销做打算，所以暂时实在无法购买那台新掌形数码相机！好渴望喔！

刚才在帮小妹课业上的问题时，需要用计算机。就当我拿出用了七年多的Sharp计算机想要用时，发现自己已经忘了怎么用！哈哈。没想到那从中一陪我一路走来，经历无数的大小测验考试和无情的岁月的计算机，既然让我在大约一年停顿使用后忘了怎么用！真是个玩笑呀！想当年固执的我坚持不换计算机，就算是升了初级学院，或要应付重要的年中，年尾与O，A水准考试，都要使用那用到熟练的计算机。因为在使用时，它给我莫名的把握，无意间产生了感情。它陪我走过风风雨雨，无数的课业高潮与低潮，它帮我在求学的路途中拿取了无数的“特优”，它已成了我课业的好伙伴，考试时的吉祥物，与我同舟共济的作战伴侣。它，却在我服兵役时被我冷冷忽略。。。

PS：我会尽量在最快的时间上载K歌的照片，敬请期待！

我不卖豆腐！！！

《周大侠》

词/方文山 曲/周杰伦 演唱/周杰伦、杜国璋

我一脚踢飞一串串红红的葫芦冰糖

我一拳打飞一幕幕的回忆散在月光

一截老老的老姜 一段旧旧的旧时光

我可以给你们一张签名照拿去想象

我说啊 屏风就该遮冰霜

屋檐就该挡月光

江湖就该开扇窗

平剧就该耍花枪

扎下马步我不摇晃

闷了慌了倦了我就穿上功夫装

我不卖豆腐(豆腐) 豆腐(豆腐)

我在武功学校里学的那叫功夫

功夫(功夫) 功夫(功夫) 赶紧穿上旗袍

免得你说我吃你豆腐

你就像豆腐(豆腐) 豆腐(豆腐)

吹弹可破的肌肤在试练我功夫

功夫(功夫) 功夫(功夫) 赶紧穿上旗袍

免得你说我吃你豆腐

我稍微伸展拳脚

你就滚到边疆

回旋踢太用力

画面就变的很荒凉

落花配对配夕阳

翻山越岭渡过江

我清一清嗓

清一清嗓

唱起秦腔

飞天飞敦煌

北方北大荒

谁在水一方我撑起一把纸伞回头望

啊这什么地方

这什么状况

啦啦啦啦

闷了慌了倦了我就踩在你肩膀

我不卖豆腐(豆腐) 豆腐(豆腐)

我在武功学校里学的那叫功夫

功夫(功夫) 功夫(功夫) 赶紧穿上旗袍

免得你说我吃你豆腐

你就像豆腐(豆腐) 豆腐(豆腐)

吹弹可破的肌肤在试练我功夫

功夫(功夫) 功夫(功夫) 赶紧穿上旗袍

免得你说我吃你豆腐

我要减肥 ！！！

看不下去了！我受（瘦）不了了！Oh no!!! 天啊，我发现我发福了。嗨，身上一层层赘肉好像把它取掉，好像去抽脂肪！哈哈！告诉同事们说我肥他们不相信，说我瘦！他妈的，我真的很肥好吗。害到我不敢照镜子。恶心死了！

今早回到军营内做我的Dispensary的事。因为星期一有个高官要来审查我们的货量，所以非得把我的stocktake做完不可。一直在等国防动员，已经几个星期了还没等到，真让我无法好好享受周末，真该死！所以到了午餐时间把事做完以后就回家去了。

明天有BMT好友的Kbox聚会，真期待。

算了，午后太阳好晒，好象去游泳，享受阳光，但一直在等动员的我被困在家中，动弹不得！

命苦啊！！！

特务T

游览朋友的部落格，看到这非常有趣的youtube短片，是利用天线宝宝的见解片段取代Jolin的特务J MV，让正感到非常苦恼和纳闷的我顿时扬起嘴角一笑。感谢朋友Shuyi的这短片。所以从她的部落格“非法抄袭”到我的部落格上。敬请欣赏。

部落格取新名字

我决定给我的个人部落格取个新名字 ：《“辉”洒自如》

名字改编至“挥洒自如”这四个字，指的是我的blog entries能够不受约束，挥洒自如地写出。

“辉”取至我的本名。

因而部落格的新名字诞生了。

没太大的意思，也并非没意思，希望这不会影响我以后的entries风格。

Random 13 Jan 2008

Feeling damn sian right now. Finally got back home from camp this morning after breakfast at yishun centre. This week is a long week man. Outfield cover, standby force prepration, dispensary stuff for me to settle. Talking about standby force, i was expecting one recall yesterday and i thought it would really be so damn lucky of me to be in camp when they recall since i do not need to take the hassle to rush back to camp within 1 hr. But then, there was no recall which means i could be next week, where i had a long weekend. I do not know if i want to switch weekend duty with someone else to do next sat's duty. Yah, all these recall stuff is making everyone crazy. Paranoid is the word.

When i reached home this morning, i just feel very sneh2, meaning sluggish. No mood to do anything man. Want to surf internet also no mood, watch TV also no mood, go out also no mood, just no mood for anything. Just feel like not doing anything and 瘫痪在床上。Feel that my life is kinda distorted right now by all these NS commitments but who am i to complain. There is nothing to look forward to. Kbox next sunday? Chinese New Year? ORD? I wont even have the shame to think of ORD. Haiz...

My parents keep pestering me to buy CNY clothes. I just cant be bothered. Dont know what to buy, dont intend to buy. 反正每年来来去去也只不过去那几户亲戚人家百年。So boring. Maybe is i grow old le, starting to feel numb about CNY. The 期待感不再存在。I aint want any new clothes. I do not need any. No one to show it to wearing it. Bummer. I dont go out with friends during CNY period. Just stay at home and rot? Might as well stay in camp and do duty still can earn off. Thats why i volunteered for one of the 4 days.

Just recovered from sore throat. Had been on medication for the past few days. The diphen expectorant really makes me sleepy. Drink already damn drowsy hence no mood to do anything. I am just feeling grumpy. Aiya, whatever it is la, i also have no mood to continue typing...shall end here...

Back to school, back to work

2nd Jan 2008. 学生们，开学了 ！！！大人们，开工了！！！Woke up earlier than usual today because father driving my sis to her new school first before sending me to camp. She first day of sch at NYJC you see. On the way to NYJC, i saw alot of students reporting back to school so early in the morning which kinda extracted wonderful memories as i recalled how i used to be a student then, reporting to school for a brand new school year. To think of it, it really rawks to be a student, as compared to my state now, a NSF. I really miss school days. This is esp so when my father drove my sis to NYJC, which was the same route i took for 4 years during my sec sch days (my sec sch, zhss, was just next to nyjc) and it really brings back wonderful memories about back then. Sigh. But then, its a brand new year ahead, brand new start. 祝莘莘学子们勤奋向上，学业突飞猛进。祝工作人士人步步高升，工作愉快！！！

回望过去，展望未来。。。2008蓄势待发

I've decided to adopt the same slogan i used last year for this year's year-end reflection:

Reflecting The Past, Anticipating The Future

回望过去，展望未来

Alas, another year is about to end in just slightly more than an hour time. At this point of time, i would like to take a step back and looked carefully at what i've gained, what i've lost, and what i've learnt from the year of 2007.

A word to describe my year 2007 will be "Differ", "异". This is because my life completely changed in 2007 as i embarked on a new phase of my life by serving national service. The current lifestyle i am living differs from what i've in the past. The process of going through enlistment, BMT, basic medic course and now as a cbt medic at chong pang med ctr is far much enriching than i've ever thought it would be. It is a brand new type of lifestyle i've yet to go through before in the past as a student, infact, for the past 18 years.

What have i gained in 2007?

Friendship forged during the current 9 months plus stay in NS. Different phase of my NS life, i am meeting new group of individuals. Living and learning with these individuals widen my social circles and my perspective of the society and this world. More importantly, i've learnt how to live with all sort of people. Different people have different personalities, behaviors and needs. Learning how to compromise and accomodate for each other, hence making life better off for everyone, is a big gain for me in the year of 2007. It is just a reflection of society, that constitutes of different kinds of people of different backgrounds, different frontal and inner displays. Very important a gain for me.

What have i lost in 2007?

Freedom is one big aspect that i've lost in 2007. Entering NS is the admission to a very restricting environment where strict rules and regulations are all around to bound you. Apart from not having the priviledge to go home everyday, I have to follow directives and hierachy of rank strictly which is something i'm not very used to. However, i believe that 塞翁失马，焉知非福, there is gain for every loss. I believe that this lost of freedom to a brand new restricting environment can shape my character to the better, hence benefiting me in the future.

What have i learnt?

Many intagible benefits i've reaped and many invaluable lessons i've learnt in 2007. Apart from what i've mentioned earlier, i've also learnt many skills that is hard to learn from the outside world. From individual fieldcraft and handling of arms in BMT to precious life saving skills in BMC to human relation management skills in chong pang med ctr, all these cant be easily learnt from outside and i cherished what i've learnt in my year of 2007. I reassure that the learning process continues for the years ahead, even after i ORDed, till i enter university, till i stepped into the working world and then retired. 学海无涯, there is just too much to learn from, and these doesnt come in textbooks form.

Apart from enlistment to NS, 2007 is also the year i received a little bonus for working hard for the year of 2005 to 2006. Received my A level results in march this year and i am proud to say that i've attained satisfactory results for scoring 4 A lvl distinctions, though i frumbled a little in GP. This has allowed me to be invited back to college during college day to receive a prize (a trophy, a cert and book voucher) from the school. The last time i've ever went up to stage to receive an academic recognition is primary 3 when i got 3rd in class. Hence, it is a very special bonus to me for the year of 2007.

As such, my year 2007 can be described as fruitful but "differ" is still the word representing it. For the coming year ahead, i will still be in NS. I wish to challenge myself further for the coming year of 2008 for the following aspects. First, i wish to maintain or further achieve breakthrough in my fitness level. Second, i wish to improve my medical skills as i aspire to be a medic well respected by my colleagues and superiors for my outstanding performance and "very zai" skills in my medical centre, despite my role and rank. I'm not there yet but i will reach that final stage. Third, i wish to widen my social life further and make more friends, more importantly, be nicer to my current friends. Forth, i wish to complete learning driving by end of next year. Finally, i wish to further improve and polish my character, to become a better person in the future.

As such, i am ready to embark on my journey through this new year ahead...2008 蓄势待发!

I hereby wish everyone a happy and fruitful year ahead. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!

Basic Theory Test

Took off today to take the traffic police basic theory test. Had lunch with Jas at AMK Hub subway before that because she was also going to the same driving centre around the same time for her practical lessons. We then took a feedle bus there. Arrived quite early so kinda waited and watched learners practising in the circuit. Went to the 3rd storey promptly for the test, which was carried out using some touch-screen computerised system. The test was relatively ok, managed to pass, afterwhich i went to booked my advanced theory test, which was on 29th Feb 2009. Well, it will be quite a long wait but its okay as it should provide me with ample time to study for the test. Anyway, i haven applied for PDL coz i havent find instructor yet. Hopefully soon. I can start picturing myself driving on the road soon...

今年圣诞特别“热”

2007年的据点，由大家所喜爱的圣诞节作为陪衬。其实每年都是一样，圣诞与新年相辅相衬，给人一种喜气，一种值得庆祝与一年到头值得等待的气氛。但别通往日的是，怎么今年的圣诞如此干旱，给人有种“圣诞真的到来吗？”的感觉。每年年底，当大家庆祝圣诞时，都是雨季光顾，有如老天喜极而泣，感谢与感动大家一年辛苦到头，终于是收割的时候了。但今年圣诞，怎么每天都是阳光普照，而到傍晚时分才勉强下几滴雨。这有一种“农夫一年到头饱受干旱天气，影响收割，好难才等到雨季时，却失望落空”的感觉。不知这比喻是否太扯了。但是，每年在年底看到的场景：滂沱大雨跟着细雨绵绵，今年看不到了。

这整个星期每天醒来，迎接我惺忪的双眼的，不是一滴滴可爱的雨水贴在玻璃窗外以好奇的眼光偷看进来，而是强悍中带点微弱却不缺强悍的金色阳光理直气壮地照入我的玻璃窗。天气有如太阳与阳光知道自己不该在这时候出现，却不知何故为何这时候出现的样子。这不是放纵，这是模糊。到了午后，阳光更是强烈了起来，照得天下生物无法抬起头来。太热了，太干了，太扯了！

难道这一切都是所谓的温室效应所造成的吗？说道温室效应这四个字，可说是21实际最常用的四个字。它反映了人们自相矛盾的心理。一下子高举牌子反对工业园释放有毒燃药，一下子却不顾一切，放肆地开电视电脑与空调。每天翻开报纸，都少不了一些关于温室效应以及环保的新闻。到底人们有完没完？生活在地球两端的北极熊与鵸鹅也莫名地成了焦点。但是，此时此刻，温室效应也应该是抢走我们新加坡的圣诞气氛的其中一个幕后黑手吧。

说来说去，还是坚持相信今年的圣诞，少了雨，是没有往年来得更有气氛。虽然市区一带张灯结彩，挂满了七彩的圣诞装饰，却少了这一块，这人类无法制造，只有mother nature能够带来的一块，那就是天气。圣诞装饰再多，也无法弥补天气缺少的雨季。这一滴滴小雨滴，和圣诞装饰是互相承托，相辅相成的，无可取代。现在只想老天下场绵绵细雨，给新加坡带来应得的丝丝凉意。。。

Pri Sch Clique Xmas Gathering 2007

The annually long awaited pri sch clique xmas gathering successfully took place yesterday 20th Dec 2007. The 5 of us were supposed to meet at AMK mrt stn at 12.30pm where i happened to be the latest to arrive, just 5 seconds after the "usual suspect" mk arrived. Hahaha. Its ok, at least she wont get to blame herself forever for being the latest always.

Anyway, we took a train all the way to Jurong East mrt where we then transferred to a free shutter bus service transporting us to The Chevrons. The initial activity plan was to go for the clique's first ever karaoke session where i suggested to be held at kbox in town. But FPE, being a 3SG, is a Chevron member and hence suggested booking the karaoke at Chevrons which happened to be much cheaper. I was a little skeptical of the songlists available at that place but to my surprise, it was rather updated.

We proceeded into the karaoke where we were given this long room with 2 wide screen TV seperated by the computer song dedication screen. I started to wonder which TV shd i focus on, the left or the right, or simply one eye on each. I digress. We initially spent like half an hour trying to figure out how to operate the freaking remote control and the computer system there like a bunch of morons. Being too used to the kbox system, i was totally confused by the sophistication, or rather, the simplicity, of the computerised system there. Any small insignificant breakthrough in our idiotic "trial and error" experiment with the system caused unwanted and unnecessary cheerings from the 5 of us. See how freaking spastic we were.

Oh yes, we sang alot of songs. Personally, i sang some of my fave 拿手songs such as 陈奕迅's 《十年》，《预感》，《爱情转移》，alin's 《失恋无罪》，范玮琪's《到不了》，《是非题》,etc. Oh yes, did i mention that i simply love to sing "emo tragic songs", i.e. 悲歌. The more tragic, the merrier, the more i like. Hence, it seemed always the case that everyone who went kbox or karaoke with me, needs to see a psychiatrist the following day. Hahaha.

Anyway, everyone's singings were okay. I mean all of us were once in choir b4. Me, YY, MK and FPE were in pri sch choir (if you've not known), we were kinda forced to join to put up a performance for the pri sch's 18th anniversary. Julia was in choir in her sec sch days. Hence there werent major 音准 and pitching problems in this session. After the end of the 3 hours of continuous singing, we were surprised, or rather, shocked, at how much the bill was. It was only $27, inclusive of the $11 jug of greentea we ordered. My was that cheap. Sorry, i shall rephrase, it is BLOODY CHEAP !!!

Attached below is a photo taken in the karaoke room. Obviously YY is missing coz he is the one taking the photo. But its ok, not going to have any negative impact on the overall photo with his absence. Hahahaha. Just joking. =P

Anyway, after the karaoke session which ended somewhere around 5.30pm, we took a bus to vivocity for dinner and gift exchange. I initially suggested Orchard Road (same as last year) because there were more to see at Orchard Road. I am refering to the xmas deco, not the filipino maids, thankyou. Hahaha. Ok, sorry for being lame. The direct bus journey took approx 45min and we arrived at the bus terminal at harbourfront. Upon making our way through the crowd to vivocity across the road, we realised that we were hungry. Yay !!! Babies and children must not be kept hungry for this will affect growth. (As though we have any much to grow, ahahhaha) So we surveyed the shop directory only to realise the most economical venue to eat is actually, the foodcourt. (See how sarcastic i sound.) Anyway, we took the lift to Food Republic on the 3rd storey and engaged in a game of "musical chair", i mean, finding seats in the packed foodcourt. But then, we were not very good in the game you see (cause we no childhood) so we couldnt find a seat. So we went back to the basement and fortunately enough, found a seat the kopitiam foodcourt. If i did not recall wrongly, last yr's xmas dinner was also at kopitiam food court, just that it was at PS. Maybe kopitiam organisation can consider sponsoring our annual xmas dinner from next yr onwards? Hahaha.

Anyway, after dinner, YY need to leave early because he need to book in that night. So we did an advanced gift exchange for him. The fk up thing about this yr's gift exchange is, we have paper but no pen. Last year, we have pen but no paper. I wonder whats next year? The photo below shows all the presents "posing" for a photoshoot. Hahhaa. Can you recognise the darker blue one at the bottom? Its from me.


Anyway, we managed to substitute the role of the pen with MK's hairpin, which is kinda pathetic. But then, we are very adaptable to different circumstances hence we can make do with anything. Hahaha. Thankgoodness they didn insist on using my blood for i am a medic. YY received MK's present. Congrats. Erm...ok, nothing to congrats. Hahahah.

After YY got his present, we decided to 送him离开，千里之外. Erm...i mean, send him home. But before that we needa take a group photo. We managed to make our way to the entrace of vivo and found this fountain landscape place (photo below) to do our annual grp photo shoot. It was done with FPE's cam coz mine was chwee enough. The flash is over bright, auto is over dark. Kinda pathetic. We manage to stop this guy in the nearest proximity to us to do us this favour, hopefully he didn think that we wanted to rob him or somehting.


After which, i started to whip out my cam and started snapping about. Woohooo. The photo below on this crystal glass xmas tree placed just inside the entrace of vivo was taken while the 2 girls went toilet. So got ALOT OF TIME to take this photo. Hahahhaa.

After that we decided to continue our gift exchange at the amphitheatre at the top of vivo. Upon reaching the top level, what greeted us was this gigantic beautifully decorated xmas tree erected infront of the amphitheatre. (Plz do not question my use of vocab) Grand, isnt it?

So we decided to proceed on with the gift exchange. Results of the lots drawing indicated that FPE got julia's present, which was a self-made "coloured sand in a glass" thingy. She really took the effort to grind the chalk to make the sand and stuff. Yah. A round of applause for her please. MK got my present, which is a mug i bought at marina sq. Julia got FPE's present which was a pair of small decorative purposes wine glass. I got YY's present which was a big decorative glass. See any similarity in all the presents we got? ALL MUGS AND CUPS AND GLASSES, i.e. water storage equipments. Hahaha. Got alot of 默契rite we? Hahaha. This year i set the rule of "no chocolate", next yr i guess i am gonna enforce another rule of "no mugs and cups and glasses". I wonder what will be the resultant.

Anyway, after the gift exchange at the amphitheatre, we continued snapping photos of that freaking big tree. Yah, its kinda weird to do so but it is the ONLY obvious deco we can see up there. Everyone else was doing so, so we followed the crowd. MK esp, snapped it at all possible angles (of that gigantic tree) she can find to the extent that the deco management might want to collect copyright fee from her. Hahaha.

This is taken at the base of the gigantic tree. It writes "Christmas sparkles at vivocity".

This is a photo of the gigantic xmas tree taken from far.

After all these "nonsenses", we embarked on our journey home, time check 9.45pm. I got outfield cover the following day (which was today) so i gotta reach home early. We took bus 166 back to AMK bus int where on the way to the busstop, mk damaged her heels, due to her "awkward way of walking", according to her. So she faced some difficulties walking to the busstop but this did not stopped me from "forcing" the 4 of us including her, to dash across the road with a blinking green man shown on the traffic light. She could be cursing and swearing i guess.

Anyway, on the bus journey, we engaged in our fave activity - crapping. I admit i was kinda tired. But as and when i passed by any deco, i would take out my digi cam and snap snap snap.

This is one pathetic foto i snapped at the deco outside The Central at clark quay.

This one is part of the long stretch of deco along orchard road. This shd be at the end of orchard road and the start of bras brasah road, near Paradiz ctr and SMU.

This one that looks like rain of gold was the deco for United Square at novena.

Anyway, i kinda reached amk bus int, exhausted, at 10.30pm approx. Walked home. The moment i reached home, i bathed, pack my bag for today's outfield and then wait for my hair to dry before i called it a day and enter dreamland.

Anyway, the 4 of u hor, plz dont chase me for the photos. I've already uploaded them. The link can be found at the function menu at the right. Thankyou. For the rest of u guys, plz enjoy the photos i've taken. For those pictures that featured me inside, please dont send it to the Singapore Paranormal Investigators coz reassure thats not a ghost inside, thats me. Thanks. Kinda regret not going down to orchard rd at night to take foto. 2 more days to xmas, i wonder if i shd make the trip down.

Cest La Vie ?

Was reading my previous years blog entries for the past half an hour, i realised how much crazier and more fun i was back then as compared to now. Perhaps i've matured over time, perhaps i've lost the "fun side" of me over time, perhaps i've learnt to be more "adult-like" over time.

Why?

Perhaps the more i've experienced, the more i became like that? Perhaps time really changes me? Perhaps the increase intensity of hardship, hard fact and hard feelings experienced over time has shaped me to be more restrained over my feelings? Am i going to turn into a frankenstein?

Why?

Friends come and go. We still keep in contact, we are still friends, but in terms of time spent together, its different. P6-1 classmates... 1E5/2E5 classmates ... 3E2/4E2 classmates....2205 classmates....BMT platoon mates... BMC platoon mates ... chong pang med ctr colleagues. They are not the same bunch of people. Different groups of people made up different leagues of my life, different periods of my life. As this constant change shaped me to what i am today?

I realise that i do have a very fun past. They constitute a crucial part of my memory. Fond memories. I am not as happy with my army life as compared to back then. Infact if life is so miserable on me, my coming 1 year 3 months could be not as happy. This is going to affect me. Just when i feel that i am so unfortunate comparing to my peers, the people i know past and present, perhaps its important for me to think that NS life, though forms a part of my memory, my life, but it is also only a small part. Lets say i get to live until 70. Two years of my NS life forms only a small part of my entire life's memory. The last moment, my last breathe. 2/70 = 2.9%? I still have so much wonderful past memories that constitutes a larger component than 2.9%.

What can i do?

Trying to live a carefree and happy life after NS could be a challenge but also a possibility to this current crisis. And then, what is 2.9% to me?

It really makes me smile when i read through my past entries. To think of it, i've blogged for 4 years. Since dec 2003. To compare with my peers who currently achieve more than me in NS, perhaps i can think, do they have these wonderful (at least) 4 years of memories i've got? It really stirred my thoughts and feelings by reading the past entries while being bothered by current unhappiness. Past memories = permanent. They are there for sure. Current unhappiness = permanent? Definitely not.

Well, this is life. People come and go. Events, major or minor, constitutes part and parcels of your life, just like bricks to a wall. This is life, cest la vie....

Alvin & The Chipmunks

Just went to watch "Alvin & The Chipmunks" movie with Jas at AMK Hub. My goodness, they are so freaking CUTE !!!

"另一个"星期一

I am clearing leave currently. So quite eng at home. But hor, i received a call from med ctr ask me this fri go back to cover for some stupid activity bcoz manpower shortage!!! Walau, i am on leave leh. ON LEAVE YOU FREAKING UNDERSTAND??? 嗨，没办法，说什么会補会我的假期，都不知道会不会对我的这一个“小小牺牲”有所感激。

由于今天请了假，下午时分没事做，便自己一个人到市区走走，散散心。

我家走几步路就到巴士转换站。就乘这个机会给你介绍本区（宏茂桥）刚建成的冷气转换站。我比较喜欢搭巴士。虽然路途及时间比较长，但风景比较多。。。

巴士刚要驶出转换站，我正坐在这辆double decker的第二层。

This is AMK Hub. Took this foto when the bus juz turned out of the interchange.

发现今年许多购物商场的圣诞装饰都大同小异，都是Xmas Tree!!!

在路途中，天开始下起雨来。。。

我在Bugis Junction下车。在那儿逛了逛。也买了自己喜欢吃的台湾炸鸡。
这是Bugis Junction里头的圣诞布置。

After that i walked down to National Library where i stopped to browse the books there for a while. After which i walked to Bras Brasah Complex to look at more books. Haha.

记得在读中学的时候，很喜欢到百盛楼购买assessment books, guide books and reference books.
这样说来会不会显得我有一点mugger?

雨越下越大。但自己又没有雨伞。好后悔。I'm walking in the rain。
Walked a short distance to Raffles City. Look at the deco, its Xmas TREE again !!!

既然到了Raffles City, 就得买那里出名的Donut !!! 幸好queue不长，所以排了一会儿就买到了。


The interesting thing bout the queue there is, it is kinda seperated in the middle in order not to block or obstruct the human traffic flow. Saw this signboard at the queue。 Kinda interesting they notify their customers that the availability of the donut might be compromised by the larger number of customers buying.

买完Donut后，便走去Plaza Singapura那里的Times Bookshop买书。It is proven that I cannot read books because the moment i read 2 to 3 pages i started to fall asleep. But then i needa spend the Times voucher (gotten as a prize by my JC for scoring 4 A lvl dist) b4 it expired early next year. Anyway, 路途中路过了SMU，发现那一带改变了很多。SMU也建得非常新非常美，真可惜那不是我想报读的大学，因为我对business management 之类的科目没兴趣。

Anyway, 逛完了Plaza Sing就搭地铁回家。路途中有一个很没有礼貌的uncle用他那不知道装什么的红色low class plastic bag撞我手中的那盒donut。好像揍他，but 看他是 "senior citizen"所以放过他这一回。这一撞可撞坏了我的donut。买给家人吃的donut可遭殃了！

Anyway, 回到家打开盒子一看。。。

有点像donut刚出车祸的样子，但还没面目全非。看起来依然可口！！！

Lets take a closer look.....

OMG !!! Arent they delicious?

Seriously speaking i've yet to taste donut factory's donut b4. I got try other brands la, but this is the brand that got the recent donut craze started.

Cant wait to sink my teeth into one of them !!! Yummy !!! Oishi !!!

Anyway, 这是我用voucher买回来的一袋书籍。Hehehe...

这个星期四的好友圣诞聚会的礼物也准备好了。是我昨天到Marina Sq买的。希望收到礼物的朋友会喜欢。Its kinda present exchange thing you know. So yah, looking forward to this thursday man.

说来这样多，该是搁笔去吃donut的时候了。Bye.....

12月16日，晴

今天去K，好过瘾。刚巧路过世界书展，便钻进去逛了逛。书展场地大，摆放的书籍包罗万象，却没一本让我看上。终于买到了圣诞礼物，也算是 one thing down my to-do list。今晚有《红星大奖》aka 《分猪肉的时候》。看来明天，后天，大后天又有得“讲”了。Seriously speaking, its all crap。Everyone knows why。
