Re: From the film Garden State

You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? Even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone.

You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

Subject: Re: I want to go home

I keep looking for home, too. I'm not sure if it exists in somewhere or someone, but I'm pretty sure it's out there.

-:-

interesting.

Rainnnnnnnn.

so it has been raining for the past two days.

luckily i brought my trusty umbrella out, which i haven't for the past i dunno how many years of my life. and i brought it only after much nagging from my grandma i had more space in my bag, which was used to fill a whole lot of nothing(and a file).

so i was walking home in the rain(my flat is a road junction away from the mrt), when i noticed this girl without an umbrella. well, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary(she was kinda cute tho, but i only took a glance at her face. that's besides the point anyway), except that there were at least three or four other people at the junction waiting for the traffic lights with umbrellas. not to mention bigger ones than mine. the rain wasn't that heavy, but i decided to shelter her. but my umbrella was damn small. so in the end, there was half of her and half of me in the rain.

i think she realised i was trying to help, but she started to pick up her pace as soon as the green man lit up.

anyway, my point is, why won't the other people with the bigger umbrellas actually offer to shelter her? it's a mere few seconds across the road. it didn't even require yu to speak to the other person. well, at least i didn't.

like that singapore how to become gracious society, huh, how!

by the way. i'm VERY HUNGRY.

On course.

some slackkkkkkkkkk.

although the course might sound impressive: it's a joint ops course with the various airbases, commandos, and navy; it's actually nothing much. but then again, i can't say much about the course because it's supposed to be classified secret, with documentation still in reading with the parliament. some new bill about to be passed.

anyway. those doesn't really concern me. what matters to me is that for the past two days, course starts at 9am. we go thru 2 hours of lecture with fifteen minutes of break in between. then we got for a 2 hour lunch. we come back for another 2-3 hours of lecture or practical, and off we go, home sweet home.

this is probably the only course in the entire saf i want to fail and recourse.

that asides, i'm losing my will to continue saving money. 8-5 is some bad for saving! i haven't been spending much, but i'm definitely spending more than i have when i'm stuck in camp. >.<

many people's birthday coming!

LAWL

then got adam's birthday this weekend. and miss-i-don't-shop-alot-but-i-shop-expensive-stuff-dawnie. hahahahaha. and who can forget miss amanda limmmmmmmmm, hor feisty woman? but yu're forever not free! heh.

my savings scheme is spoilt!

pay oh pay. when are yu cominggggggggggggg.

I'm back!

yeah. it has been an awesome chinese new year so far. heh. and the best part is, it hasn't ended yet!

amidst all the ba kwa munching and gambling, one week has swiftly passed. had a great time at peee's. met up with long-disappeared amanda. and also adam, karto, jasmine, chengyee, zhihui, and some girl i don't know, but still won money from. LAWL. steamboat was good. of course!

more gambling going on everywhere else. as people say: 情场失意, 赌场得意. don't have 情, so i 赌 loh! haha. but overall's winnings still going into my go-to-aussie-fund. angbao too. i'm so glad that i'm saving now. pay increase, spendings decrease. it's a good sign!

finished my IPPT with a silver; can't run for the life of me. otherwise, it's another $100. sigh. another reality check here. suck thumb.

had a 'chinese new year squadron dinner' over at sembawang country club. the food's not bad; edible, but not filling. only saving grace was free flow of beer. but we polished one barrel of beer halfway into the meal anyway. quite enjoyable dinner overall i guess.

GOH training is not as easy as i thought it to be. simply lots of drills. tiring. ><

and rumour has it that i'll be posted to the S3 branch of my squadron. in short, it's the training branch. will be doing shyt like planning the training programme, conducting ranges for NSmen. best bit of it is: it is an 8-5 vocation. crosses finger that they do not change the system. happy!

nothing much else. i'm hungry.

awwwwww.

kiss.

happy chinese new year !! (again)

新年快乐 !

little 'reunion' dinner with ben, cw, duck, ern, fook, wee. so many people missing, busy schedules. oh well. better than nothing! had some gosu prata, played some pool. golden break = good omen for the new year! this year's gonna be greattt.

新年新气象. happy chinese new year once again!

HUAT ARH!

The past week, and random stuffs. (editted)

tag replies:

liyi: lmao. i'm sorry. some last minute decision. anyway yu wouldn't have known anyone there. right?

peee: hahaha. save money! i'm almost ready to fly already! just that i can't get the leave applied. )= and the wrapping paper bit is in. haha.

agnes: sure. i'll head on over. if i remember. haha.

-:-

so. exercise steelwall is over. pretty tiring if yu ask me. but it's done with, and i don't like to elaborate about painful stuffs. z.

happy stuffs. i'm officially in the guard of honour contingent for sembawang airbase. soooooo. yu can catch me on your goggle box during the chief of defence force change of command parade(march-april), national day parade(on national day, duh), and probably republic of singapore air force day(september). i'm damn excited.

not-so-looking-forward-to stuffs. exercise earthworm is up and coming. play with more sand is no thanks. gonna be my last tough 3d2n outfield. endure! my chevron awaitsssss.

drinking stuffs. met up with the usual suspects for a night of fun and chivas at HOME club. spent a little more than i would've liked, interfering with my save-more-money scheme. but all's well. the dik's leaving on 11th(tomorrow). i like HOME. they play the postal service. and the postal service is some awesome stuff.

some sleepy stuffs. got home at 5am in the morning. showered, packed all the necessary shyt. then came the interesting bit. i fell asleep on some wrapping paper while preparing the farewell gift for sam. lmao. i was ALMOST late. well, at least i made it in time.. >< some sleepy wrapping paper thanks.

some-weeping stuffs. sent samantha off to the land of the kangaroos. she had a full entourage sending her off, i swear. there were like at least 30 of them around. it's gonna be tough for a girl to study by herself in such a foreign environment. hope she fits in soon enough.

celebratory stuffs. happy birthday miss ade maria kwan! some 21st. and i know there are plenty others whose birthdays are around this period of time. pardon me, but i can't possibly keep track of everyone. so actually i don't mind if no one remmebers mine. heh. anyways. met up with people i haven't seen in years: kengboon, ric, lionel, annabelle. haha. t'was good. i had a great time!

tired stuffs. i haven't been sleeping well for the past few days. steelwall. the drinking. shuttling to and fro places. i'm not complaining man. but i have to go to changi airport tomorrow in the morning again! sigh. all my friends are leaving one by one.

food for thought: what if one day, yu had a piece of good news yu want to share with everyone, yu scroll down ur phone list, and yu realise that there is no one yu can actually talk to. i think it's some sad.

sigh. i damn low morale. who can help me jia you?

)=

Mass shoppinggg.

i did more shopping the past week than i ever had. and i didn't even buy alot. just what i needed i guess.

i just got myself a pair of nike dunks. whoo. had to scout around because they didn't have my sizeeee. in the end, i settled for my second choice. it was a close second tho, so i'm not too disappointed about anything.

grabbed myself my first pair of levi's jeans. and i didn't even pay for it; a gift from my mum. for what, i didn't know. but how can someone reject free gifts? hahaha.

bought a shirt from topman as well. new year shopping ftw!

i still have stuffs lacking. and one more weekend to go before the new year. i need a new belt. a pair of nice berms. a t-shirt or two. but now i'm torn between shopping and saving up. seems like i don't have much chance to put on my loot until some time later. >.<

this weekend was not bad compared to last week's as well. dragged my ass all the way to nus at 2am in the morning to meet jialin. was supposed to have some gosu supper, but it was already closed by then. )= chitchat with peimei till like 4am, then watched 'the battle of wits'. nice show! i know i slow, but still nice show!

nus is quite a happening place la. at 3am in the morning, yu hear people playing mahjong. open the dustbin to throw some rubbish, and yu're greeted with a few empty vodka/rum bottles. not a bad environment as well, if yu ask me. friendly people everywhere. heh.

anyhowww. went to jurong entertainment to meet peee and andrew in the afternoon. supposed to help with her java programme, but i can't remember jackshit. so ended up being of no help at all. some useless stuff.

night was shopping with mum and sis. we had late dinner at some place in balestier. super nice frog leg porridge! i haven't tried geylang's, but i bet it's on par with it. the western food stall wasn't half bad either. good cheap food!(frog leg porridge isn't so cheap after all.

went to town for my dunks with jared and sharmaine today afternoon. so sian. gotta book in early. and to make matters worse, i saw my sergeant in town. and he had to remind me that book in was 7pm. zzz.

exercise steelwall this week. and all will over! well almost. let's see how i fare with four days of little or no rest. i hope it'll be fun.

Nothing Better.

will someone please call a surgeon
who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
that you're deserting for better company
i can't accept that it's over..
i will block the door like a goalie tending the net
in the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

so just say how to make it right
and i swear i'll do my best to comply

tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

i feel I must interject here
you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
with these revisions and gaps in history
so let me help you remember.
i've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
i've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave

so please back away and let me go
i can't my darling i love you so...

oh, oh

tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

i admit that i have made mistakes and i swear
i'll never wrong you again
you've got a lure i can't deny,
but you've had your chance so say goodbye
say goodbye

The Postal Service - Nothing Better.

this song rocksssss. <3s

testing week ahead. sigh. im so tireddd.
