and a free non camera phone..

Eve and late Christmas
Celebrated the holiday Eve from Suntec to Orchard..
Was at Suntec having dinner wif the gang at Olio..
(a well decorated resturant beside Fish & Co)
ambience there was rather good..
christmas coral was played
an open concept kitchen..
sofa seats for some of the tables..
menu there was 'new' to mi.
ordered 'forget wads the name'
but quite liked the dish and
goes well wif my iced mocha gelato..
had no idea wads gelato till the
drink was served..
its vanilla ice cream toppings!!!!
does my face always goes red whenver
i talked to a girl...
as we finsihed our dishes way b4 the other
table of friends..
we ordered some drinks.. (iced mocha)
CM was 'aiming' tiz particular waitress whom
he tot is the most 'chio' among the rest..
though i tink is the one in spects..
so he asked for new orders from her
mayb is tat i abit 'kan cheong'
when the other 3 has ordered thier drinks
i was saying my orders as the waitres was busy scribbing
away the 3 orders..
dun know wad comes over dem
when they suddenly say my
face is red...zzz...
initially din felt there realli no
burning in the face..
onli when they make more fun of
it in front of the waitress..
felt my face abit burning le..
and the rest were also laughing away...
moved over to orchard when closed to 930..
the walk from Mrt to Lido took almost 45 mins...
the place was so packed tat has difficulty walking..
and pple were spraying foam at strangers whether they
are armed wif the spray cans or nt..
have to dodge and dogde
but guess stil unable to dodge
away from some of the foam..
forget to do the countdw while waiting
to enter the cinema to catch 1215 Narnia..
so wasnt invlove in the celebration of
Christmas..
looking for a movie
close to LOTR
yet suitable for kids and ezier to understand..
looking for a movie somehw of mystical and magical..
unicorns.. cenutars.. talking lion and beavers..
guess tiz the movie for u...
walked to ps for Mac after the movie..
and was the 1st time
i saw the Mac changing its lunch/dinner meal
to breakfast..
most of the time was from breakdast to lunch/dinner..
from ps back to cine to

the NAVY
join them and be somebody..
no idea why would someone who dun know how to swim
would want to join them..
no idea why would some girls sign on and join them
when even some of the guys wana get out of there
or quicly serve their 2 years and get out of there..
basically no idea why would mi being a bad swimmer
are posted to there..
and others who dun know hw to swim are posted to there 2..
wonder if they are tat capable to train those non swimmers and mi
to pass our
survival swimming test within 4 months..
rumored tat those who failed will b posted out
and mayb be posted to the
vocation many pple feared and avoided - Rifleman...
personally what most enjoyed there is the freedom
they offered..
you are allowed to bring PSP.. portable tv
wadever u named it..
you can bring it..
provided u have it and din get caught...
there's lots of freedom and of coz a price to pay
the chances of getting confinement is
almost as high as Singapore defence...
easily u will get a 2 or 3 confinement
on sth which u tink is of minimal imptance..
10 men are shared within a bulk
like tat of BMT..
but what is of praising is the
quality of their toilets..
it's juz like those of shopping malls
abt the size of 1.5 times in BMT
and have its own roll of toliet
in each individual cubical!!!
u may tink tat is of no great deal
but in days of BMT
u have to bring own toilet roll..
a week passed
and mainly training in the naval
consists of running, swimming and lecturing..
u may tink its a rather slack and relac vocation..
somehw its true
provided if you are not a bad swimmer as mi... ^_^
if you are a bad swimmer as mi..
u juz have to wait for the vocation quickly
passed and wait for a new posting... lol..
year 2005 coming to an end..
many are clearing their AL..
so are we!!!!
given a week off..
till next yr!!!!
2nd of jan..
but wonder if there's realli alot of AL leave
after clearing many from the week break after POP..

throu tat eyes of his..
u will realli felt touched and your heart
will go to King Kong..
and will curse the human harming him...

survive 12 wks at BMT in TEkong..
one of the place many of us dread..
many events throu tiz week..
enteraintment events..
games day on wed...
whereby 10 companies of sch 2 send representivities
to take part in runs, games..
though there's the rain halfway throu
it doesnt seems to dampen the spirit
esp tat of Leopard Company..
without a doubt they are the most
noisest and most 'on' company..
recruits' night on thus...
whereby there's 'hot' dancers
the gals wif their dance made the guys jump and dance
and wooo..
the short skits performed by diff
companies of school 2 also awed the crowd..
there's the YoYo performances, a skit somewhat
like tat of Stomp and many more..
came friday whereby
we had our one of the longest march
24KM...
wth.. how come nid to walk such a long distance..
kicked off at 3pm and was near midnight
when we ended the march..
Injuried my toe last wk
sprained my angle on friday morning...
lolx..
can say tat tiz is an injury wk..
and yet i still managed to complete
the march wif that sprained angle of mine..
mayb the march is too tough to handle
angle has swollen and went to
the clinic ytd..
was refered to NUH A&E for an Xray.. zzz
to confirm if there's any frature to the
angle or wadever...
scences at the A&E always doesnt looks good..
there's pple wif injuried head..
broken nose waiting for their turn...
wait at the hospital is rather long
but the taking of the xray is real fast..
the guy taking my xray seems to b rushing for time..
nurse at the counter is real friendly asking
questions on when i get inuried and where's the pain...
wheeled mi to the area to wait for xray..
saying my turn will come soon when
i been waited for at least 40 mins
but too bad the nurse is a guy... lol...
anyway glad tat all nurses are friendly...
or at the very least appears...
seeing them working till late hrs and yet still
remain so joyful,friendly, helpful and responsible of their work..
mayb tats why they say the job
of nurses are noble..
xray result is out within 20 mins and was declared
ju a sprain...
the nurse banaged my angle fast
and guess wad..
she is able to speak
mandrin, teochew(or guandong) and english..
and she's not a chinese..
talking abt bilingual...
