I conducted another experiment for my pest cockroach today. And i realised that my first experiment was flawed. Bleach doesn't kill it right away...In the last experiment, it only died because it was going to die anyway. For the experiment that i just conducted, the first agent i tried was bleach and the cock was still struggling. Cruel as all this may seem, i felt uneasy when i saw it suffering.. making anything suffer is cruel...so i quickly tried other agents..and of course, my pest cockroach died, if not from the corrosive agents, by drowning... and when i went to throw the container(coffin) of my pest cockroach away, i noticed that it was actually warm...some of the stuff i poured in might have reacted exothermically. Any chemistry pros out there who can help? my agents were bleach, clorox, and dettol.

Anyway, tomorrow's my last paper...actually its today, cos its already 0001 am... I haven't finished studying which is the same as all the other papers. hopefully it turns out alright...going to sleep...

Sleep is a waste of time...But i enjoy it...unless i get nightmares..hopefully i sleep well tonight..but even when i get nightmares i still go back to sleep. Sleep is good. But sleep too much will get headache. and sleep too much also waste a lot of time. but i like to sleep..so i'm going to sleep. so sleep sleep...

Just finished geog paper...came home after the paper and have been in my room since..slacking...listening to songs...especially Blink 182 songs...its how pro..especially when you're not feeling good..and just sing along. and you'll feel good..haha...and not have a care in the world...forever and ever.let's make this last forever...whatever i studied for geog didn't come out. For physical geog, i only studied, studied as in memorised and stuff, weathering and geohazards...and guess what...both didn't come out..and the same thing for human geog...so i ended up writing crap for 2 hours...and its 4 essays in 2 hours...and of course since i had nothing much to write, i wasn't rushing for time... And i didn't even complete 1 answer booklet while others handed in 2 answer booklets....anyway, i dun wanna think about it.. its over.. i hope that everyone fails...hahahah....so the bell curve is in my favour... mean right...what to do....haha.....
yeah...blink 182 is good...haha....
I took her out it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
And that's about the time that she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom on a pay phone
I said I was the cops
And your husband's in jail
This state looks down on sodomy
And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when your 23
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
what's my age again?

Finally, after 5 min of loading, i'm finally typing my pro post...haha
3 more days to exams and everyone's so stressed..dun be stressed. Look at me..I'm so screwed, and yet not stressed. My elang is super screwed up. Just cos of the damn project which i got 13/30, now my overall score is around 33/70 and the final exam for elang is only 30%!! How to pull up...and it isn't as if i can get an A grade for the final exam itself..hahh....sucks...anyway, I just killed a cockroach, which is derived from the spanish word, cucaracha. Did you know, there are roughly 3,500 species in 6 families. Cockroaches exist worldwide, with the exception of the polar regions. If I aroused your curiousity about roaches, pls visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockroach . Anyway, after the brief crash course on roaches, I shall reveal the secret to killing a cucaracha. First, I experimented with bleach. Upon pouring bleach onto the cockroach, it stuggled frantically but obviously, was still alive. Next came the insecticide. Interestingly, after sparying, 4 of the cockroach's limbs were 'glued' together, but it was still alive. And now, its time for me to reveal the secret to killing roaches - CLOROX - Upon pouring the clorox, the cucaracha stopped moving right away. However, I'm still unsure whether the cucaracha is dead as of now. It stopped moving. Maybe it was playing dead. Hmm... More experiments should be conducted.
Anyway, Ming Yong just told me that we got A+ for our last geog practical...WOW!!! haha...totally unexpected and pleasantly surprising. The project was totally scrappy and last minute. So what can i say, other then - What to do...Pro what....haha
So...3 more days to exams...Econs on sat morning, followed by the dreaded elang on Tuesday morning, then the 4 essays of geog on wednesday morning followed by the incomprehensible Information Systems on Friday morning. Then its back to camp on saturday for half a day of briefing. And then its 3 essays for Changing Landscapes of Singapore on Monday evening. And then its all over...hahh...can't wait

Disclaimer : No cockroaches were harmed during the course of typing this post.

I was just thinking about the machines that you can strap on to your tummy or thighs and they will jiggle your fats and make you lose weight...so if we keep jiggling our fats, will we lose weight?? haha...
maybe we could have weight loss sessions..where people get together...it'll be like....hello everyone..welcome to weight loss by shafiq... hope you guys came prepared..so are we ready??!!! and...start jiggling...(and everyone jiggles away...shake your legs and use your hands to jiggle your tummy) Then I'll be like - And let me remind you that this is focal weight loss...you can focus on which area of your body you want to loss weight by simply jiggling that part with your hand!! Its so simple...and all those who haven't paid for this session please pay up...
And not only can will you lose weight but you'll relieve stress as well - by laughing...imagine a room full of people jiggling their fats...quite gross actually..haha...imagine ah huat!!! haha...gross...only appealing for ming yong....haha

As usual on friday night, we went out...we had dinner and chatted till 9pm...poor tze yeong just called asking if we were still out..he must be very busy...haven't seen him for very long...soon...school hols are nearing..
anyway, we were talking about philosophers just now...what's the use of philosophers? what do they do? Do we actually need them? Economists, scientists, geographers, its quite obvious what they do and their work helps mankind. But can the same be said for philosophers? Their work is interesting..no doubt abt that...but in what way is it useful? Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence. As i said earlier, it is very interesting...but studying the fundamental nature of reality and existence?? I'm not sure how they go about studying and what they actually study about reality. As for existence, they may come up with many theories but there is no way of proving any of it..theories they will remain but the reason behind our existence will remain a mystery..maybe that's why its a "study of the....", its continuous...the endless process of acquiring knowledge...
anyway, even if the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence is concluded and proven, what do we have to gain from it, other then mere satisfaction? Was philosophy created merely to satisfy our curiosity and the human thirst for knowledge? Or did it have some other function in the older days as ming yong suggested? If the former, who is actually curious and thirsty enough to pay people to think up theories? Personally i would like to do that..I can just sit around the whole day and talk about life, I mean philosophize.
Basically, my point is, scientists have a role to play in this world. They make life easier and more comfortable with creations such as aircon (as ming yong said). Teachers teach. Children are our future. Economists, businessman, bankers, accountants deal with money. Its a material world. Doctors, health-care workers help cure and heal. And earn lots of money in the process. So in what way does philosophy help us? Does it affect our thinking? If it does, so what? Life still goes on as normal right... What's the point of philosophy? In my current ignorance, i feel that philosophy is pointless.

listening to gangsta's paradise by coolio...
As i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at myself and realise there's nothing left...
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me

Forgive and forget...You can forgive but can never forget...
No matter how hard you try...Bad memories are embedded in your mind...

All Day I Dream About Slacking...adidas

You dream about getting rich...you want to get rich...you work hard to get rich...when you get rich you work to get richer...and you work harder to maintain your status...is it worth it??
People should learn to retire...I'm going to retire as soon as i can...why would you want to work all your life? For what?

2006-10-12T17:12:00.000+08:00

It was Monday, around 3 pm...and kenn was telling me about how life is unpredictable...one minute u're here the next, dead...
so we decided....we're studying to prepare for the future that may not be...we're how philosophical...haha...that's copyrighted by the way...anyway...i just handed up my Elang project and Geog project and yesterday was my econs test and this morning i had IT test...so now i feel very free...and its time to slack...yeah...no more stuff to burden me...finally...but i have IT presentation on tuesday and Elang test on the 27th. And changing landscapes project is due on the same day...but not too bad...i feel free now...Prison Break is good...and its addictive..

2006-10-03T22:21:00.000+08:00

time is just passing me by...and i'm just watching it pass......
i haven't been studying..even though i have 2 tests coming up next week...econs on wednesday and information systems on thursday...hahh...econs is all mcq...but the questions are quite tricky..and a lot of the questions have more then one possible answer..so must practise and be careful..for information systems, its 10 structured questions...its an open book test. But need to be familiar with the book...and lectures and tutorials are ongoing...and project deadlines are looming...there's a lot of work to be done...but here i am typing this blog after watching tv and having ice-cream...Somehow, i don't feel rushed..but i need to panic..i get things done when i panic..but fortunately or unfortunately i don't panic so often...hahh...
And my mac is slowing down!! Can see the first signs of problems already...sucks..i hope nothing goes wrong though...obviously..
Anyway, this week is fight week on discovery channel..i was just watching k-11 just now..its a world fighting event where top fighters from all over the world were called up...they go through semi's to qualify for the finals. the final was held in tokyo 2 months after the semi's..8 fighters qualify for the finals..The finals is only one day..and its a knock-out process...so the winner and the runner-up would have to fight 3 different fighters each. In the end a dutch guy won...But i think muai thai is damn good...i heard about training in muai thai where the coach uses a rod to rub the shin with chilli power or something so that the fighter doesn't feel any pain on the shin..its to kill the nerves in the shin i think...quite scary..but anyway...muai thai is good..they utilise every part of the body as a weapon..fists, feet, knees and elbows..Think its one of the only fight competitions that allow the use of elbows..which makes muai thai fighters quite tough..
hmm...its already week 7 of school...its really very fast..soon the exams would be here and then holidays...time flies...
i just thought of something that i learnt during english language...its not really a riddle but sort of...
Time flies....I can't, they fly too fast
Do you get it?? haha...
Listening to songs now...Maybe i should act pro and post some lyrics here..like claryce and kelly...haha
can't think of any good lyrics now...anyway, i'm listening to 'The Ghost of You by My Chemical Romance' now...its a good song...a sad song...claryce told me that the song was written for his girlfriend who died in a car accident..and he cried while he sang the song...that makes it all the more touching...

I want to do plenty of things..but i'm too lazy to start on anything...
I should stop whining and just start doing stuff...I realized long long ago that if i don't slack around and waste my life away, I actually have plenty of time to do lots of stuff..like in jc..there was more then enough time to study..even when i was in canoeing in jc1, closer to the competition when there was training more then 5 times a week, there was still time to study..its just that i chose not to..like now...i;m wasting to much time listening to songs and typing this blog...i could have done one chapter of infomation systems...or 20 mcq of econs...
but no mood to do now...hahh...its no excuse...but i use it as one anyway...

I must take more photos...so that when now is past tense, and all i have are memories, i have something tangible...I didn't always take so many photos like i do now u know...I can't even fill a photo album with all the photos i took before nus...and i regret it now...it would have been much nicer to have something that you can look at...if only...sigh...

Wake me up when september ends...September has Ended....oh no...too fast

2006-09-29T22:30:00.000+08:00

its been a long time since i studied...or even made an attempt to...and there's actually a lot to do...
I only get work done when i panic...but i'm not panicing yet...why??!!!
and later i'm going to but ice-cream, chocolate and chips...then watch movies and eat...can't wait...
anyway, yesterday, after visiting acjc to buy the pe-t shirt, we went back to nus...and this is what i saw inside...
this is what they sell in forum bookstore...haha...i'm not against being gay or anything but they shouldn't be selling stuff like that in the nus forum bookshop...
i just look out the battery from my mac...its damn hot..not the battery..the mac..the bottom left hand side is very very hot...
anyway i realised that i haven't posted any pictures my my new MacBook...haha...so just to show off...

hmm....anyway...i want to get more ram...its quite slow..i am thinking of upgrading to 2gb..but that'll cost me around $300 plus...damn ex ah...
and i haven't changed my blog song to can't take it cos the website i'm using to host the song doesn't support mp4...noob right...
and this sunday's children's day...if only i could control time...actually time is the key factor in life..if anyone could control time, he/she would have everything, would know everything and could do anything...hmm...

2006-09-26T22:37:00.001+08:00

so what did i do today??went to sentosa for changing landscapes project...played volleyball and frisbe..went to plaza sing to have dinner...ate grilled chicken...ate beancurd....talked behind kelly's back...that's about it...

2006-09-24T22:26:00.000+08:00

I just finished 11 slides of a powerpoint presentation on Dell Computer. Its for my Infomation Systems presentation..In order to do it, I read through around 9 pages of super small text and had to summarize it.. And i feel damn stupid now.. Cos the conclusion of the text i read summarises it all!! hahh....do so much work for nothing. And i think the conclusion provides a better summary. zzz...But nvm..I still needed to read all of it to be able to explain it in class..
And the data is damn old lah...it was written in 1998..8 years ago..wth..And my group member was like 'Dun worry about the presetation. I got a friend who is in computing and he got case study on it.". His friend must either be damn old or want to screw him up. Who the hell would use such an old source to do a presentation?! And that's not the end of it. When i was searching for newer sources about Dell online, guess what i came upon..exactly the same shit that he passed to me...zzz...its damn crap ah...I'm seriously damn screwed for the presentation. And thank god i wasn't my usualy lazy self and went to research on Dell on my own. Cos Dell changed the system they're using. And even the Chief Information officer has changed. The data is 8 bloody years old...oh my god....hahh...

2006-09-18T22:36:00.000+08:00

hello people...as of now, you're looking at the treasurer of the sociology society...
Went for the soci agm at lt14 just now. And applied for a few posts like the honorary general secetary and treasurer...actually just 2...and i didn't get the honorary post as a general so i am the treasurer...get to guard the treasure...haha...damn corny...nvm

Anyway, just now, i wouldn't even have gone for the soci soc agm if gina hadn't called me. Cos i had a project meeting with the lecturer at 1830 and totally forgot about the soci agm...and in the end i ended up as the treasurer, roy the organizing directer, claryce the publicity girl...haha...its quite rash but yah...we're in..and joanne left halfway..haha

finally after waiting for so long....exciting...i've been playing around with it the entire day...and i think i need to up the ram. its a little laggy..zzz...disappointing.. but otherwise its good..and it'll be better once i figure out how to maximise its capabilities..haha...i'm still a MacNoob..
I've finished transferring all my files from my mom's laptop over. All my songs, pictures, and of course all the work related files...i need to get microsoft office. Currently i only have the trial thingy..so after 30 days i won't be able to use it anymore.
And i downloaded adium and i don't know how to make it shut up..keeps making funny noises. And the edge of my MacBook is quite sharp..

been home the whole day..damn bored. today's my free day..tomorrow is also..but we're supposed to meet in school tmr for a Sakura Lunch outing which i'm not sure how many people will turn up for.
Tutorials starting next week..scary...hahh...there are lots of readings for english language and geography...and these readings are what the lecturers uploaded into the workbin. What they recommend us to read is much much more! And i haven't started reading anything yet..hahh...
And i just realised that august is coming to an end. Just around a week more..Damn fast...Time flies when you're having fun...and when you're not, time still passes...

I'm listening to Perfect World by Simple Plan now...Its a damn nice song

I never could’ve seen this far
I never could’ve seen this coming
Seems like my world’s falling apart
Why is everything so hard
I don’t think I can deal with the things you said
It just won’t go away
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You’d still be here
And it makes no sense
I could just pick up the pieces
But to you
This means nothing
Nothing at all
I used to think that I was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think I need a miracle to make it through
I pictured I could bring you back
I pictured I could turn back time
Cuz I can’t let go
I just can’t find my way
Without you I just can’t find my way

2006-08-15T23:27:00.000+08:00

First Day of School!!
Finally school has begun..but actually i'm not that excited..Right now i wish i had a few more months of holidays. School's scary. Dunno what to expect. And dunno how to do everything..haha..a little confused now. Went for my first lecture today at 2pm - Changing Landscapes of Singapore and after the lecture, like now, i have no idea what i learnt.. The 2 hrs of lecture were spent discussing 'What is Landscape'. And quite a few students came up with complex answers which they wrote in a flowery manner.. like Landscape is how all the elements co-exist with one another and how they are inter-connected...like wth...where do they come up with that..I tried answering the question as well...after 2 min of intense thinking kenn and me came up with 'Landscape is natural or man-made features of our surroundings'. haha...
According to the lecturer, landscape has an extremely broad defination. It includes geographical features, how society is organised, how man has affected his surrounding. Landscapes are expressions of cultural values, social systems and individual actions. Landscapes are repositories of a society as different eras of human occupation left specific traces in the landscape that can be detected. wah...According to my OXFORD STUDY Dictionary, Landscape noun the scenery of a land area
hmm....haha...i think i prefer my dictionary's definition right now..at least i can understand it...
BUT!!!i shouldn't question it too much...i should accept it..and learn to think like the 'model' students... Tomorrow i am going to the library to read about the changing landscapes of singapore..
After all that's said, i better do a disclaimer..I don't have anything against the lecturer or students..They are kind of interesting.. And if not for them this module won't even exist..

Anyway, after the lecture, we went to munchie monkey's to eat..I had choc brownie..its damn good..i feel like having it right now. And we spent like 2hrs there. Then we went back to the arts forum to go to the coop. I realised that i have to buy textbooks for the lectures..hahh...

My next lecture is on thursday...information systems applications..quite scared that it'll turn out to be tough...
My timetable is such that i have one lecture on
Monday - Changing landscapes of Singapore 1400-1600
Thursday - Information Systems Applications 1000-1200
Friday - English Language 0800-1000
- Geography 1000-1200
- Economics 1600-1800

Its been a very long time since i've last blogged..
I've just recovered from food poisoning and have quit my first job since i ord. Time has passed quite quickly. I've been working for 2 weeks plus at this advertising firm 'promoting' children of leukemia. Its actually collecting donation for them buy asking people to contribute and issueing them receipts. And my last day was last saturday and last monday, 2 days ago, i came down with food poisoning. It was terrible.. Finally i've recovered and today i started looking for another job. I logged on to Singaporejobsonline just now and posted my resume. And 15min later a guy msged me about a job. So i called him back and he told me a little about the job and asked me to go down for interview tomorrow.. the job has to do with financial planning, about advising people what financial products they should get for their financial status. And the company is called richwell i think.. sounds like insurance. If it is i don't want it..hahh..But i think i'll just go down for the interview tmr anyway. Just in case and also however it turns out, it is good practice having more interviews right. And i've been at home for way too long..I was bedridden the whole of monday and was glued to my couch the whole of tuesday watching movies. And today i've been spending the whole day watching tv and playing on the computer. Good life eh..haha.. perhaps.. but since i ord, i haven't felt much different..i mean i don't have to book in anymore or do pt or run around doing shit work and most importantly i have a say in whatever i do now but still i don't really feel that different.. the excitment of ord just lasted me one day, the day that i ord..and that's it..its nothing much..to think i've been waiting for that for 26 months. But its all good. Army was not that bad. There were good memories.. the really bad, horrible times were the most memorable ones. those are good memories which i'll relish but i don't want to relive them again.. Its like..its all good.. army was good..but thank god its over..
I can't wait to go back to school now.

Today I am officially a NS man..Today is my official ORD...
However i collected my pink IC last Friday.
Finally 26 months of army life has come to an end. No more book in..no more first or last parades..no more cookhouse food..no more outfield..no more of all that at least till i get called up for reservice next year..
I'll remember my army days fondly but i will not miss them. Right now i'm happy to be sitting at home but its already boring..i landed in Singapore on a friday, 030306 and have been back to camp twice to do clearance and collect my pink ic. Now that its finally over, i have totally nothing to do. And since i haven't found myself a job i'm slacking at home and its getting too boring.. If anyone has a job to reccomend pls leave me a msg..
I'm gonna play football manager now...

010206 1922hrs
Only 8 hrs before i fly off to thailand for the final mission of my national service. 26 months of training boils down to this..but i'm not nervous..i just want to get it over and down with..my oc as said many many times that this is the final mission..that we will be judged on how we perform for that one atec mission..to wake up...to throw away our ord mood..to demand standards from the man..
i've heard it too many times..over and over..i'm tired of hearing it..he keeps telling us that cos he sees us slackening...and are we slackening? yes we are..but we are always this way..but when it comes to the crunch time, we always rise to the occasion..we do what we have to do..sure we complain and grumble about everything but the important thing is that we do what we have to do..that's the way it always has been..
Right now..i rather not go thailand..i rather not fight the final mission..i rather slack here. but i know that once i'm there..i'll still feel the same way but when it comes to the final mission..i'll do it and do it well..so everyone stop trying to motivate me..stop trying to sweet talk..
I rather have facts thrown right at me...Army sucks..but you've got no choice but to do it..so too bad..as the army saying goes: lan lan suck thumb..

Only 40 days to ORD!!!!!!

I'm feeding my rabbit choc chip cookies...its favourite..it goes crazy everytime it smells chocolate.
Its a sunday and its book-in day...sadly...my leave has come to an end and now i'll have to go back to camp with lots of regret..hahh..but what the hell..its all going to be over soon..this tuesday is hari raya haji..then i have a 3 day outfield exercise..the week after there'll be more training and atec preparation..the week following that is atec stage 1..then its a long weekend and off to thailand for atec stage 2..when i come back, i ord...yeah!!
Its going to be over very soon..but right now, it feels like forever..it'll be worse when i'm outfield..
My one week leave has been totally uneventfull...i stayed home most of the days and just went to play dota quite frequently..also went to vince's house to play winning eleven which i suck at and have decided never to play again..then the next day went to marcus's dorm and took turns at playing dota on his laptop and then watched ali g on his laptop..and the next day, went to play dota again at bukit timah..and that's the entire week of leave..spent on dota mostly..but a good break nonetheless. And to think that this is the first and last time i'm be taking leave..18 days of leave burnt..hahh...but that's life...life's unfair

2006-01-03T18:34:00.000+08:00

Its 2006!! ORD year!! yeah..but at this moment, nothing much has changed..still have to book in. still have to go outfield. still trying to save money. still playing dota..same old shit..but everything's going to change in 69 days time..the day i become a free man once again...

2005-12-27T20:26:00.000+08:00

It's the 27th of december...december is coming to an end...not sure whether that's good or bad..but that means that my ns is coming to an end so its good...yeah...i've got about 76 days to ord and training's getting tougher..its atec season now..and training has unfortunately started..i've got outfield training for the next 3 days..its going to be long and tough and wet...but after that its a long break...I'm on leave from the 31st of december till the 6th of jan..its only 1 week but that's the most i could take..even for that one week my oc was very hesitant to approve of it..but thank god he did..and thank my wonderfull ps and pc for supporting me..without them i definately could not have had my leave approved..anyway, even though i'll be taking a week leave, when i ord, i'll be burning about 18 days of leave as i have no time to clear my leave..when i go back to camp on the 9th of jan, its training and more training and 2 weeks later is atec stage 1..and a week after that i'll be off to thailand for atec stage 2 and when i come back, i only have 11 days to ord..exluding the weekends, only 7 days..if only it was already march..
I've been looking forward to ord for a long time..but after i ord, everything's going to change..i know that's what i've been and still am looking forward to but its also means no more monthly allowance...and i'll have completely nothing to do...it'll be totally boring..and i'll be so broke..yeah...but i'm still looking forward to that..haha....
I have to book in later..its now 8:34pm...i'll leave my house at 10..hahh...i hate going back to camp..its sucks..and there's outfield training for the next 3 days..terrifying..hahh..
Vince just told me that he's disrupting his ns as he's going to monash in feb next year..and he has only 9 more working days left!! after that he's clearing leave till the 31st of jan and that's when he's disrupting...lucky bastard...haha...

2005-12-14T19:22:00.000+08:00

I miss school....i miss being a student..i miss wearing uniform....i miss seeing the same wonderful people everyday...even people i don't know..i miss seeing familiar faces everyday and taking it for granted that i will meet my friends everyday..its all changed now..if only i could turn back time...i want to go back and relive it all over again..when i think back, i can't seem to find a single bad memory...it all seems good. even the bad times were fun......nostalgia...not the first time i've felt nostalgic..guess everytime i feel down i get nostalgic...doing poi now..its boring..its the same thing everyday. its routine..unfortunately, the routine doesn't allow much time off..its work 2 days and 1 days off..so every 48 hours you work you get 24 hours off..well..its more like 20 hours if you include the time we have to report and the travel time...the 1 day off is just nice to come home, slack and sleep..and then go back to work..it sucks..at least it ends in one weeks time. i haven't had much time to myself. it has been quite rushed lately..and i hate it when i have no time..i like to be left alone...well..at times..its like even when you give me lots of work to do, just leave me alone..i'll get it done..don't pester me..that's why i hate the army..everyone is pushing work down and because they're getting pressure from the top, they pester the ones below...one thing i've learnt in the army is "half-fuck"...i've learnt to do half-fuck things..its not worth putting all your effort into a project..when you finish it, you don't get the deserved recognition.. and when people see that you can do work, they give you more work...so just leave it..screw it..just do enough to stay out of trouble..
i've got to change my work attitude..i'm going to ord in 89 days time and i can't bring the same screwed up attitude outside..things have to change and i'll be happy if i go back to the way i was in jc..life was good in jc..in the first place, i have no idea why i went to acjc..my entire time in sji, i had made up my mind that i was either going to njc or cjc..and i ended up in acjc..well..i'm glad i did....
Everything that happended, ended well...Everything that is happening is going well...Everything that is about to happen will happen well...
Whatever happens, happens for a reason...In the end, all is good...

the time and date on the previous post is wrong...anyway, just after i published the previous post, i listened to gansta's paradise by coolio..cool song...you can listen to it by going to http://www.radioblogclub.com/ and searching for coolio.....

Gangsters Paradise – Coolio

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realise there's not much left

Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that

Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain’t never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking

Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip but I gotta lope

As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke ... fool

I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like

On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light

They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Look at the situation, they got me facing

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip

So I gotta be down with the hood team

Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind

Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye

I'm a loped out gangsta set trippin banger

And my homies is down so don’t arouse my anger ... fool

Death ain’t nothing but a heartbeat away

I'm living life do or die, what can I say

I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24

The way things is going I don't know

Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me.

They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Power and the money, money and the power

Minute after minute, hour after hour

Everybody's running, but half of them ain’t looking

What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking

They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me

If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can'tI guess they won'tI guess they front

That's why I know my life is out of luck ... fool

They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me

Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me

My December

Its finally december..safkar is over and now its time for POI...my company's poi is jurong island..we'll be protecting it for 2 weeks..hopefully there won't be any incidents..
Today is a thursday and i'm on off today and tomorrow..so it's a long weekend. but it'll be over soon and on tuesday i'll be doing poi..hahh..that's always the case..everytime there's off or leave, time passes so so quickly..hahh..
life's boring..nothing interesting to blog about..i went to watch harry potter yesterday..emma watson is damn pretty...yeah...haha..
102 days left to ORD!!!soon it'll be in double digits..i can't wait..hahh..bloody army..i can't stand it..all the damn propaganda..Join the army..the decisive force..if you're in the army you'll know how many bloody screw ups occur everyday..from the top all the way to the bottom, everyone is just pushing work..CO tells rsm what he wants..rsm tells the csms..csms tell the ps..ps tells the sect coms..and the sect coms allocate the work to the men..and the men, sadly having noone to push it to just complain and do it...that's the way it is..everyday..i have no idea why people sign on as regulars...especially specialists..they are always going to be the slave of someone..in a unit, as a 3rd sergent you take shit from your ps, pc, csm, oc, rsm and basically everyone who's higher ranking then you are..then you get posted to sispec as an instructor..there you take shit from the warrant officers..as you rise in rank, it gets better..not that you get less shit..anytime you get shit, you pass it down..the higher in rank you are, the more people you can pass your shit to..as a spec, you are always going to get shit..even as an army rsm, you get shit from the coa...hahh..so why do people sign on as specs?? for the men?? Bullshit...the men just serve 2 years and then give saf the middle finger..maybe for 2 years, you can make your men's life as good as possible but they're not going to be with you all the way..they will still leave and leave you to you army career..the only reason i can think of is money..when you sign on you get loads of money...and every year you get bonus..the money's good..but you still will get sick of it..if you ask me, its madness to sign on..some people say they joined the army cos they enjoy it..well..either they're are lying to themselves, trying to counsel themselves, or they're retarded...but that's just my opinion..there are people out there who genuinely believe that by joining the army, they are protecting our motherland...come on..can singapore defend itself in times of war? Yes we can!! no doubt about it...but the question is how long can we last...we're not going to win any war on our own..we can't..i don't think we can even defend ourselves for more then 3 weeks...don't get me wrong..i love singapore..i'm singaporean and will always be a singaporean..but i do have common sense...4 million against 23 million...hmm..So back to the question of why people sign on...the answer..Greed...greed for money...also security..you're ensured 10 years of a stable job...oh well......
i hope i haven't caused any anti army sentiment by writing this blog...its scary..only recently a couple of guys got convicted for having a racist blog...
so everyone....join the army...its good..its the decisive force..we are the protectors of our land...not for fame or fortune...
but seriously...i have nothing against the army...i believe that we must have an army defending singapore..and thank god we have regulars(retarded or not) around..i am a singaporean and i love singapore..just during safkar, one of the Indonesian officer and a man from my platoon were taking..for convenience we'll call the officer A and the man ah beng..so A was asking ah beng why he dosen't want to sign on...
ah beng : I don't like it..
A : (kidding) 'you don't love your country'
ah beng : 'a little bit'
A : (surprised) ' In Indonesia, all soldiers love our country'
I could have slapped ah beng there and then...what an idiot...singaporeans need to be more loyal and patriotic..i bitch about the army and i bitch about how boring singapore is.. but i am loyal...and i love my country...we don't realise how lucky we are..low crime rate, stable economy, good stable uncorrupted government, no natural disasters, a successful multi racial community, high technology, clean...we should be happy to be here and not migrate the first chance we get..after all that's said, i still want to ord..army's not for me..i'll contribute to singapore in some other way...102 more days to ord...

2005-11-23T10:50:00.000+08:00

I'm home again..got nights off..its tuesday and right now i'm doing safkar indopura..for those of you who don't know what it is, too bad..its an extremely slack exercise which is a holiday for the indonasians and a waste of time for us...well most of it is a waste of time..we could have done a lot more...but at least we got to communicate with the indonasians and they shared a lot of their experiences with us..and they are very experienced...

Well...i have 111 days left to ord..can't wait for december..and then christmas and new year...then atec and ORD!!! its coming soon..but not soon enough..and i'm super broke..i've got $10 left and the next pay day is the 9th of demember..that's 17 days away!! looks like i'll have to dissave again..hahh...or maybe i'll confine myself to camp and home for the next 2 weeks..boring...
actually the only reason i've got nights of today is to visit yew san..he's my group 2ic..his mom passed away..she was suffering from cancer for 5 years and passed on yesterday morning..when i heard the news, i went to visit him yesterday evening..then today, my oc gave permission for my platoon to attend the funeral..sorry for your loss yew san...
i just attended a wedding on saturday and yesterday, i had to attend a funeral..a wedding and a funeral in 3 days...and the funny thing is that both are held in the same church..hmm...coincidence??

2005-11-20T14:29:00.000+08:00

I just discovered a site..its mtv..and its radio..not exactly radio radio..but you can listen to songs..http://www.mtv.com/mtvradio/#/mtvradio/ there's the link....enjoy...
191105...Saturday...114 days to ord...and yes, i'm still counting down..can't wait to finally be free again...
today 1SG Elvin got married at the Church of St Mary of The Angels...It was the first time i've been to a church wedding..quite cool..congrats to Elvin and his wife...

2005-11-04T07:45:00.000+08:00

Its HARI RAYA!!!! But nothing great..hahh...its 3 pm and i'm sitting here..hmm..expecting visitors but all are late..sad huh..nvm..going out later for dinner..going to my uncle's place. should be more fun then..
130 days to ORD!!! No more fasting till next year..i still don't have appetite..guess i'm still in the fasting mood. at least i can save money on food for a while longer..
When i go back camp it'll be safkar mood..but i don't want to talk about camp..i still have 3 days of holidays left..I wrote a very long post yesterday but my com screwed up and i had to restart it..anyway my post yesterday was about how much army sucks and all the propaganda and stuff..maybe its good that the post got deleted..I realise that i'm very negetive and complain a lot about the army...well...what to do..haha...i've got no life...5 days a week, 24 hours a day i'm in camp..sometimes more..i'm a professional soldier. whether you like it or not you are doing it everyday and you are being paid to be a soldier..so you're a professional soldier..so my oc says..hahh...i don't like it but its true..
I've heard that army guys talk about nothing else but the army...its true..but you should understand that its because that's all we do..we're in camp most of the time..only out during the weekends. basically, we have no life..we can only talk about what we go through or hear about everyday..
anyway, all the guys in my section have passed soc..so when we have weekend remedial training for soc, i don't have to go back..yeah...
I installed warcraft - frozen throne on my com 2 days ago..now i can play dota on my com...no need to waste money at the lan shops anymore..now its time to start saving money...only 3 more paydays left..actually 4 but in march the pay will be very little since i'm ORDing on the 13th..so far my savings are damn little..hahh..i can't save for nuts..terrible..i'm going to be broke once i ord..not that i'm very rich now..i'm broke now trying to save money so that i won't be broke when i ord..but at this rate i'll be broke when i ord as well..so i'll always be broke?? huh??
maybe i should be like fu jinhe and buy many many duties...but he spoil market..a weekend guard goes at $100 but he does it for lesser...spoil market...then there is zul who is still asking me for money for a 1206 he signed way back..but its not his fault..its the support company signal store...apparently during uip which was at around september last year, some part of the signal set was lost or spoilt..so they made us sign 1206 for it..(1206 is where you sign a bloody form for some SAF item you lost or spoilt and the following month the cost of the item is deducted from your pay)sounds fair right...but they couldn't pinpoint whose signal set it was so they asked us all to pay for it. And why couldn't they pinpoint whose it was? Screwed up accounting for signal sets. So whose fault is it now?? And that's not all..They told us about loss a couple of months after the actual incident, and all of us didn't even realise or know that we lost or spoilt a part of the signal set..what the hell right...That's why i refused to sign the 1206..And then a couple of idiots like zul went to sign it. So the burden of collecting the money from everyone shifted from the ass who was responsible for the signal sets to these guys..And now poor zul is bugging me for the $35..And now i'll feel guilty if I don't pay him...

2005-10-15T21:03:00.000+08:00

i'm back...I'm stuffed, i'm full..and i'm bloated...not very comfortable..drank too much..but oh well..it has to last me throughout the day..
hmm...why do people have blogs? Is it an online diary? I don't think so..aren't diaries supposed to be private? by having your diary online, the whole world can view it..and even if you don't advertise it someone is going to find it sooner or later...the song perfect by simple plan just came on and it got me thinking about other things..so the blog issue i conclude that blogs are just a medium to convey certain thoughts and feelings and share what's been going on in our lives with others..moving on..'Cuz we lost it all. Nothing lasts forever. I'm sorry I can't be perfect. Now it's just too late and We can't go back. I'm sorry I can't be perfect..that's the chorus for the song.... Who's perfect?? noone is, but everyone wants to be and are trying to be perfect..but do we really want to be perfect?? being perfect is boring..if i was perfect, i would have come home from school everyday and hit the books..and ensured that i had 7 hours of sleep every night..i would take my daily vitamins without fail..and i would have scored straight As in all my exams..and i would have perfect discipline..i would wake at 5am every morning to exercise..i would make my bed, clean my room, i would do everything i'm supposed to do perfectly..i would lead the perfect lifestyle..i would have a perfect day, everyday..but is that what i really want?? it sounds boring..what about having fun? I would have the perfect fun..and i have no idea what that is..i wouldn't want to get up at 5 in the morning to exercise..its good for me no doubt but i don't want that..maybe some days i'll do it but i want to be able to get up when i get up..and come home and just slouch on the couch and watch tv..i want my mom to nag at me..sounds funny right but i'm sure that in a perfect world i would miss my mom nagging at me..maybe then we'll have perfect nagging..haha...and unlike in a perfect world, i want to do stuff..stuff that may not be right but is fun..and i want to do it just for the fun of it..of course if i was perfect, my mindset would be different..like i wouldn't see performing chores as a negative thing. i would see it as something good? i have no idea what i'll see it as..i mean chores are chores right.. its a chore..so i have no idea...we can only imagine what a perfect world would be like..
Perfect...what is perfect anyway?? can something outside of our control be imperfect?? like the sunset..can a sunset ever be imperfect?? a sunset is just as it should be..it cannot be altered..we can't change it..it turns out exactly the way its supposed to..so can tomorrow's sunset be less perfect then today's one?? it might not be as lovely to watch as today's one but does that manke it any less perfect?? another example is the weather.."today's weather was perfect except for the rain" ..the weather turned out exactly the way its supposed to. so was it imperfect??

Its 6 already...i'm tired..going to sleep now...and i'll get up when i get up...

2005-10-15T19:45:00.000+08:00

Its 4 30 in the morning..I haven't slept the whole night..went out just now and i left msn running..i came back around an hour ago to discover so many messages...one of it was from zhi wei..he wasn't happy that too many people were accessing his blog through my link..So STOP VISITING HIS BLOG!!! haha...I didn't know that so many people visit my blog..I didn't even know that people know about this blog...hmm...anyway later i stumbled upon Kenneth's blog..I knew he had a blog but i forgot about it..yah..so i added his blog to my links...yah...
haizz...boring....i'm just stating events in the order they happened..how boring can i get...hahh..
got to go have breakfast now..yeah breakfast..at 440 in the morning..the fasting month has begun...yeah its torture...its not the hunger part..its the appeal and thought of mouth watering delicious food..chocolates, ice cream...but its about control..and sacrifice..that's what the fasting month is about right..and its not as though i'm deprived of junk food..i'm stuffing myself with loads of it after breaking fast everyday..
got to go eat..maybe i'll be back here after eating..maybe..just maybe..

2005-10-14T13:31:00.000+08:00

Finally back from brunei...Its good to be back..never thought i'd miss singapore so much. Brunei is a terrible place..at least the jungles there are. The terrain is terrible. Its densely vegetated hilly terain..most of the time you're either going uphill or down..and going downhill is worse then uphill..trust me its easier to go uphill..more tiring but easier. When we finally completed our last exercise, buaya, the feeling was just damn good..then it got really really boring. we had 3 days to our flight back and we had absolutely nothing to do.. The only thing we could do was eat and sleep..but then my money ran out so all i could do was sleep. The last day before our flight, we had r&r..we went on a tour and that was the most boring tour i had ever gone on..it was torturous..we went to 2 museums and a water village. damn boring...I would never want to go there again.. The only good part of the tour was dinner. We had a buffet. And the food was great.. it was a good dinner..and i was fasting and it was the ideal way to break fast..
When we finally touched down in Singapore, everyone got so emotional.. and some of us cried...............just kidding..noone cried..we are army men..come on..haha...I'd cry when war is upon us..and then i'll run to the nearest shopping mall and prepare for urban fighting..when i get hungry, i'll just go down to cold storage and grap some bread, hotdogs, chips and chocolates..then when i get tired, i can go to a shop selling beds or massage chairs..and of course when the enemy realises that there are soldiers defending the mall, they'll just call an air stike or arti fire on our location and we all die...
What's the purpose of war?? Why have war? Instead of war, why not the countrys' leaders just play chess and determine the winner or something..or the soldiers of the countries can go up against each other on battlefield..or even warcraft..in that way we can determine the winner and everyone's happy..If only that's the way it is..then we won't have to serve ns..i have 151 days to go..can't wait to ord..hahh...151more days..5 more months and i'm done..5 more months and i can do anything i want.. i can do what i'm doing now everday, anytime of the day..sitting in my room, listening to the radio and typing a blog, eating chocolates..hmm...zzz...boring..haha..i'm bored..i'm bored very easily..too easily..and now i'm bored of typing this blog

2005-09-20T13:53:00.000+08:00

Its 2253hrs and i'll be leaving for the airport in around 10 mins...the flight departs at 0230hrs tmr...There's a minimum dress code of jeans and polo-t..and i have to report at terminal 2 at 0000hrs tonight..i'm going to Brunei for training..and i'm going to be there for 17 days..its going to be tough..and its going to suck..but i've got no choice..hahh...willbe back in singapore on the 7th of october..see you guys then...

2005-09-01T12:30:00.000+08:00

I'm back home again..yeah..After an absolutely lousy and sucky day yesterday and the 12km run today, its good to be back.. Well..my blog is becoming a place for spammers..the last post had around 9 comments from spammers..the comments has become a free advertisement. And the comments page is also becoming a dota page..with comments from mikey and vince and marcus..haha..i think shaun is the only one with proper comments. But its alright..I love crap..haha..

194 more days to ORD..Still enduring..Still counting down..Still hating it..Still having to go outfield. I'm going outfield tomorrow for a navigation exercise. Shouldn't be too bad. But its troublesome, having to do standby fieldpack before the exercise, having to draw out a signal set..hahh..this is such a boring post..i'm yawning typing this. I have no idea why i'm doing this right now..I don't even feel like typing. too lazy to type now..guess i'm just passing time.. hmm..ZZZzzz..............................................Listening to the radio now. Power 98...Perfect 10 used to be the better station but now ithink power 98 is better..Seems to be more interesting and they play better songs..If only perfect 10 is still as it used to be. Then we can choose between 2 good stations instead of just tuning in to the obviously better one.

Finally ndp is over..My company was tasked to bring down all the stands..It was damn tiring. It was very hot and the planks weren't light. But its all over now and this week is battalion off. And today, is the last day of the off..hahh..its too fast. Got to go back to camp on monday.
This week has been damn boring. I've been slacking at home most of the time. Getting up at around 11 everyday and watching tv the entire day. The most productive thing i did was to watch Wedding Crashers..it was a good show..funny..and i watched Braveheart and War of the Worlds at home..Braveheart is a damn good show..It was the second time i watched it and it was still exciting to watch. Maybe i'll watch it again.
Yesterday, 25th August, I had 200 days left to ORD!!! Today i had 199..yeah..Now i'll be looking forward to the 100 day mark..
I'm still undecided what i want to do in Uni..I'm going into Arts and Social Sciences. But i don't know what i'm going to major in..Right now i'm going with Econs..Seems the best choice. And should i apply for Business again?? That was my first choice when i first applied and i got rejected. So should i try for it again next year? Next year will be my last chance of reapplying. I heard that a few people got rejected from a course the first time they applied but got accepted the following year. So reapplying wouldn't be such a bad idea. But I'm not sure if i want to do Business anymore. Actually, frankly, I'm not sure of what to do at all..i have no idea what i want now and what i want to do in the future..I'm not sure what kind of work i want to be doing next time..I'm damn bloody undecided..hahh..It's not a good thing..I'm always like Whatever..Anything also can..it's like everytime Vince, Mikey, Kenn, Zhi Wei and me go out, we'll be standing around in one circle and thinking of what to do..I guess that's normal but we'll be standing there for hours deciding where to go and what to do..Maybe the next time we do it, we should time it..Then maybe we can go for the World Record - The most number of guys standing in a circle for the longest time...At least we'll get rich doing it..haha..

Just came back home from Marina..Today was the last day of carnival at marina. Finally its over. But our job there isn't over yet..we still got to dismantle the stands and stuff..We actually had a bus going back to camp at 8pm, but some guys wanted to watch the fireworks. So we decided to watch the fireworks and then go back to camp on our own. The fireworks was good...beautiful..After the display we walked to marina bay mrt. It was damn crowded and there was a very long queue just to enter the mrt. So one guy came up with the 'splendid' idea of walking to Lau Pa Sat and take a bus from there..So we walked all the way and ended up taking bus 970 from shenton way..The good thing is that 970 passes my home on the way to camp..so here i am..haha..yeah..i'll spend the night at home and go back to camp tomorrow at 6am. I'm quite tired and very sleepy..And i have no idea what i'm doing here instead of sleeping..i don't like to sleep too much at home. its a waste of time. The best thing to do is to enjoy being at home and sleep in camp.
EPL just started yesterday..Liverpool drew their first match with Middlesbrough..hahh..and the worse thing is that man u won..hahh..sucks. Now Chelsea is playing against Wigan. The match just started..And its still 0-0. Think i'm going to watch the match..

Well..I've got nights off again today..Left marina at around 1915 and went back to camp. Then booked out from there and came home. Marina was full of sch kids today..all of them were either from primary or sec sch..tomorrow, jcs polys and ite are going down..should be fun..haha. But of course as long as people keep going down, the rubbish keeps coming.
hahh..I just saved some of the photos from boo's and zhi wei's webshots. almost all of them were taken during sch days. Brings back memories. If only i could turn back time and do it all over again..It was fun while it lasted. Guess I should be thankfull that i got 3 years of jc fun..But then again..haha..Should i be thankfull that i got retained? It didn't turn out so bad after all..Although my a level results still turned out sucky. Should have studied more. But not studying was so fun as well. All the times at breko and delifrance. the dim lights at breko, so conducive for sleeping and playing cards. the same old songs that keep repeating at delifrance..And all of the stressful times when i kept counting the no. of days left to the exams and emphasizing that there wasn't enough time to study and still not studying..i miss school..Army is so screwed up, as usual..all the last minute instructions, the change of instuctions..all the rushing, waiting, all of the sai kang..Army guys are basically used as a form of cheap labour..so much for serving the nation..can't wait to ord. 214 days left..

Anyway, i want to burn a cd but i don't have a cd burner..its spoilt..so i got to ask a favor from someone..but first i got to come up with the song list first.

This is the start of a new blogger..Why am i doing this?? Maybe cos i'm bored, mybe cos everyone else is doing it, maybe cos i just have nothing else better to do and perhaps this is the best way i figured to spend my time...Well...now's the ndp season..At least it is for 5sir. We've been involved in Carnival @ Marina for at least 4 weeks now. And my job, to go there everyday and pick up rubbish, and when there is a show, bring a tentage onto the field. Actually everything that goes on at marina is in my job scope since we're Show Support..Show Support consists of Alpha Company and platoon 4 of Bravo..And we've got the shittiest job at marina. It's litterally the shittiest job-today we were picking up rubbish and there was pampers on the floor..How bad can it get?? Can't people use dustbins? Can't they at least consolidate all their thrash in a plastic bag? You should have seen the place-there was rubbish everywhere..on the field, on the stands, under the stands. And there was all kind of thrash-tissue, magazines, caps, singapore flags, whistles, pampers, bottles, spoons, kfc boxes, even half eaten burgers..The worst thing about being there at Marina is the weather. Its so bloody hot. You can perspire just standing around..Anyway, just 4 more days to go. Then after that we've got around 1 week of clearing up and we're done at Marina. But that's not all good..Then we've got to prep for Brunei..which is in october..hahh..tough job.but nvm..just 215 more days to ord!!!
