Monday Blues
Damn I'm tired. Woke up in the morning at 5.30am and got ready to go to sakktee's house at 6.30. After reaching there, went to Pasir Ris where we took a bus to the ferry terminal to go to Tekong. And wow, what an experience it was. Tekong is cool. Looks like a giant school. The recreation rooms have foosball tables, ping pong tables, board games and a tv with dvd-player! What more could a recruit ask for. The whole orientation took about four hours. Quite an enlightening experience.2:12 AM
Monday Blues
After that, left for school and reached about 1. Wanted to confirm with the teachers about the Carrefour job. I was so tired and wishing that either the job got cancelled or postponed, and it did! It got postponed to the next night. What a break. Sakktee exchanged phones with me because camera phones aren't allowed in camp, and now instead of my 6510, I'm using a high-end Sony Ericsson phone. Awesome. Haha.
So I'm off to sleep now and try to sleep as long as possible so that I can wake up late and go to work at 11pm. Haha. Peace.

The Last Samurai
Heys all. Today has been a very good day. Not in terms of material things, no. Nothing tangible. Today has been a good day because of a new birth. A new birth of mentality and spirituality, of a way of life and of correcting past mistakes. I honestly believe that today, I am a different person. Things are clearer, methods are easier and life is good. I thank god for today.10:31 PM
The Last Samurai
Today I woke up at 11.30. Unexpected because I was expecting to wake up at 2 or 3. Anyway, just spent the day with myself. Tomorrow my childhood friend from Primary 1 is going into National Service and I'm going to see him off. He's going to enter into a new stage of his life, the same which is inevitably going to happen to me. I've seen him change from a weak, bullied individual to a strong, independant man. I'm sure he will have no problems adapting to the NS way of life.
I just watched The Last Samurai on Star Movies. Amazing show. Really touched me quite a bit. Especially the last part where all the Samurais are shot down by guns. Except Tom Cruise. Haha. We all know he's immortal in all his movies. If you haven't caught this show, go catch it. It's an eye-opener.
Well, I'm gone. Peace.

slack
Heys all. Another day that was supposed to go back to school but too lazy. Haha. I must be crazy to be going back to school. Think Andrew went and I think he went to watch Initial D already. We were supposed to watch it with Mr Chua and Miss Amy Tay on Monday but I guess he couldn't resist any longer and had to watch it. 10:40 PM
slack
Monday is going to be a busy day. Have to do a job at Carrefour one night only. One of the teachers in my ex-school was looking for people to work as auditors there. So hooked up some of my bros, Andrew, Raddim and Rusydi. Six bucks per hour. Not too bad. But one night only.
Other than that, nothing much happened today. Just watched one of my fav movies "Barbershop". Those who haven't seen it, don't miss out! Check listings on Star Movies. Really great show. "What's the difference between a woman with a big ass and a big-ass woman?" Ahakz. Peas Out~

Acc
Heys all. Today went back to school again. Andrew told me can collect the certificate already, but it's just the result slip which would have been posted anyway. So spent time in school with the teachers, acompanying them for lunches, helping out in the staff office, and teaching Mrs Low's class accounting. Haha. Lucky it's only theory because I got an E for Accounting. Haha.11:06 PM
Acc
Mrs Low asked me and Andrew to go back tomorrow and teach her class two hours again. Haha. Andrew got A so it's okay, I'll make him teach everything. Did nothing much else when I got home at about 3+. Very boring. Slept for awhile, and watching WWE: SmackDown! now.
Oh yeah, the C that I'm seeing in my CCA records is not my grade, it just stands for Completed. Lame. Obviously I know it's completed, if not why would I be bothered with it. I just hope I get my A back. I really need it.
Seriously need money now. No money for anything, and so many good movies on now and coming out. Argh. I'm Out~

Boring day.
Heys All. Was planning to go to school today but when I woke up at 6, I was too sleepy. Haha. So in the end, slept and got up at 3. So damn late. Wasted the whole morning. What to expect for not sleeping for two consecutive days. Anyways, did nothing much, just slacked around all day. 11:23 PM
Boring day.
Finally completed my game Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Alot of people couldn't finish it because they claimed it to be too difficult, and I'm like done with it in one week. Pretty easy. That's about the most exciting thing I did for the day. My CCA records still hasn't changed from a C because of a glitch. I'm supposed to be getting an A. I hope that will be cleared up ASAP.
I tried 7-eleven's mushroom soup today. Quite nice but alot of pepper in it. I guess that's how they make people addicted to it, like their mashed potato. Lots of pepper. Aite that's all from me today. Peas Out~

Substitute teacher
Heys all. Today went to school at 8 in the morning to see the orientation and to help out my former teachers with their new classes. It was great, although I did not sleep a wink the previous night. My ex-form teacher Mr Chua is back teaching in Bishan and he is taking charge of the world's worst class. After his lesson with them, his whole face was red and fuming. ISO really can break down any teacher, even Mdm Rajes. Anyway, I had to take individual photos of the class members for Mr Chua's class photo list and luckily they complied without any problems.11:21 PM
Substitute teacher
After that, Mrs Jaqueline Tan wanted Andrew and me to give a testimonial to her new first year class...ISB! Haha. The new ISB seems quite cool, seven guys now. They paid attention to every word we had to say. Very attentive lot. We instilled fear in them over Mdm Rajes and it was so funny hearing the gasps and groans. Haha. We're evil.
After that, went to watch Batman Begins. I was dozing off already at that point. At least I woke up at the right times for the important plot points and the action. Quite a cool show but personally not the best batman movie made. After that was too exhausted and came back home. Going back to school tomorrow to try and relieve Chua's stress with his new class. One unbelievable thing today was talking to Mdm Rajes, she was joking and laughing with us as though we were the new staff there. Quite a different side of her that I think only me and Andrew as students have ever seen.
Today is my sister's birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!. Haha. Already bought and gave her her present few weeks ago. The Sims 2 University. She's a sim-maniac so that was the only obvious choice.
I'll update more tomorrow. Peas out~
5:15 AM
Farce!
Anyway, I've no much mood to say anything else. I'm going to school in a few hours time to see the new batch and the performances. Miss the school too much I guess. That's all I have to say.

What day is it....
Heys all. Woke up at 7.30 because my grandmother and my dog make the ultimate wake-up call. I felt like pulling out all my hair when I got up. Watched tv until 10 then went to the airport to fetch my parents. They had a fun time but were very exhausted due to the time difference in France and Singapore. My dad bought the entire duty-free shop, or that would be what one would think seeing all of us carrying eight bags full of hard liqour out of the air-port. My father just couldn't resist.10:51 PM
What day is it....
After we reached home, my dog was so excited to see my mother that she began to cry/whine. So cute. After that, I showed them the vcd of my trip to Thailand for my attachment. They didn't seem interested, especially with my grandmother talking about something useless every five minutes distracting them from the tv. That was a major waste of time.
Basically everything after that can be explained with a series of one syllable words: bed, eat, sleep, slack and chat. Nothing much. Only looking forward to Formula 1 qualifying later at 2am. My fav driver Kimi Raikonnen is closing Fernando Alonso in the Championships. McLaren RuLeS!. Haha. Okay, I'll end my rantings here. Update tomorrow. Peas Out.

I'm back..
Heys all, I'm back after not blogging for like (*looks at calendar*) 5 months and 8 days. School's over for me and NS is waiting for me with open arms, although i haven't received my letter yet. All my guy friends are going in left and right and leaving me behind. I'm really going to miss my time in ITE Bishan. 2 years well-spent with my wonderful friends. Only can look forward into the great unknown we call life.9:27 PM
I'm back..
My exam results just came out a few days ago. Really dissapointed with my Office Administration. I got a C when I was aiming for an A. I should have gotten an A. Dammit. But on the positive side, I got As for Word Processing and for my Overseas Attachment Programme and a B for my Simulated-Office Practice. My GPA is currently 3.031 but after I add in my CCA it will be 3.231. Hopefully that will be enough to get me into poly after my NS. That's my main objective in life at the moment.
Past few weeks have been nothing but working out. Making regular donations to the Singapore Sports Council for using their gym and pool. Their track is free so that's okay. Only Sunday I stay at home and only go out to Church. I wonder when I'll finally receive my letter which will determine the next two years of my life. That's what I need. Direction. I need a purpose if not I'm lost.
My parents have been to France for the past two weeks and they are coming back tomorrow. Can't wait to go and get them from the airport and hear the wonderful stories they have to tell and the stuff that they bought from Paris. I hear that French women never get fat, have to clarify that with my parents. Haha.
My day has basically been boring. My X-Box has been collecting dust most of the time. Only played it yesterday when two of my cousins came over to stay. Played most of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow on my $3k PC. Quite an exciting game. Out of all the recent expenses, my computer is the biggest hole in my pocket. That's a bummer. No money for other things now. Other than that, was helping my grandma with her housework and doing odd repairs around the house. Nothing much to say about today.
I'll leave off here and update again tomorrow. Peas Out!~
