the rock climbing im helping to organise for the bb primers finally ended liao. felt great to meet up with the primers coz i missed the camp. was quite tired today, woke up damn early to watch volleyball at hougang sports hall. some of the gers are really very good loh, even better than me. got so much strength also cannot spike like them..haha. i know im forever talking abt volleyball on my blog but i cant help it lah...its the no 1 love in my life...haha. i tink today is not the only day im tired. tuesday also. i fell asleep while watching guess guess guess show. tats only like 12am plus and i fell asleep? tink it must be the mahjong session on monday night. speaking of that, damn that chun meng =p. make me "bao" a 5 tai win for him. bao da pai(big tile) liao never say. i long time never play liao so also never notice. but i also very kind one la...the ger zha hu liao i still allow her to carry on coz she's dunno how to count tai =) . after she left at ard 3am, 3 of us played 3 jiao. had a good time coz its easier to make a big hand, therefore winning big. we just took turns winning big so not much profits in the end. but the feeling of a big hu felt great.
argh!~! my results are supposed to be out on the 25th. tat means officially we can check online at 12am. but the stupid, lousy, incompetent, rotten (add in ur fav choice of adjective here) school server was down due to too much traffic. expected! still always boasting the school has got a lot of bandwidth but they cant even maintain their server. *pui* dunno when can check my results leh...so anxious to see whether i kanna supp paper. my coursemates say that our mentor has already called up the failures to inform them of the supp paper timetable. i din receive any call leh. does that mean i pass all my modules? or maybe she called my house which will automatically mean that she will not get me (always not at home la!). maybe she missed my name? maybe she dun want to let me know early so that i'll fail my supp paper again...haha. so many possibilities (the last one is impossible la, im so well-liked by everyone, including my lecturers...bwahahaha. gonna receive a lot of 'bhb', *pui* etc on my tagboard eh?). kk jokes aside i hope can really pass all my modules(keeping my fingers crossed) so that i can enjoy whatever's left of my holiday. more chionging of beach, and more volleyball =p ! clinical attachment starting soon, looking forward to working in the hospital~.

so sian...haven gotten my kl photos from my friend yet coz he seldom come online. will get it from him tomorrow at the camp mumbo meeting. yea camp mumbo is here once again! in case you're wondering, camp mumbo is an annual children camp where ppl of our age(or a bit younger) get together to organise games, activities and a excursion on the 2nd day of the camp for kids aged 4-12 yrs old. i 1st went to this camp during sec 3 and has been going every year except for one yr when i couldnt take leave from army. the day i decide to go for this camp was one of the major turning point of my life. the camp plays a major part in moulding me into the person i am today. learnt many intangible things from the camp such as patience(you'll need that when u are dealing with kids =p), taking things in ur stride when things are not going smoothly, lightening ur responsiblity/workload by delegating suitable jobs to ur group members and not taking everything by yourself(a desirable trait of a gd leader ;p) and many many more. of coz i had a lot of crazy fun with this bunch of people. overall the camp made me a better person :) . im so fired up that the camp is coming round again but also disgruntled that im having my attachment during this period of time. that means i wont be able to go for the whole camp, esp the day before and after the actual camp where the fun are coz the kids are not around :( .
went to watch my sch in the volleyball youth cup today. i cant play coz im too old(its U-19)!! argh!~! damn it...the competition fee and team jersey is fully sponsored by the school and the jersey is even nicer than our ivp one. but mainly because i want every chance to play in a competition for the experience. too bad...just blame myself for not realising the beauty of volleyball in my younger days =p. anyway our sch lost against the defending champion. the opponent was not really that good this year la, just that we played very badly today. actually i tink its more a case of we played to our usual standard as a team. a match in which we have good teamwork is as unlikely as david beckham's name not being mentioned in the newspaper, either in the sports section or the front page screaming "beckham's new scandal!!" ok, that was a bad and rather random analogy. sorry but i couldnt help making a dig at him. i just dun understand how deficient he is in brain cells. that yellow card incident during his international cap. thats like a kid who has stolen a cookie from the cookie jar telling his mother "im not so stupid to let u know i stole a cookie coz i closed back the lid". duh. that was another random analogy again. i dunno where this will lead to if i continue..haha. back to the topic of our team. i think its a real pity coz i know we could have accomplish so much more based on the ability of our individuals. too bad we cant gel as a team...
going to sunset bay tomorrow after the meeting. hope it will curb the itch i have to play volleyball. esp after the training i had with my sch before setting off for kl. made me miss training. c'mon lets start our training for next yr ivp! towards a semi final berth! all the way :D

im back in singapore! reached home at 2am on monday night. wasted 15 bucks on cabfare unneccessarily. why? coz the custom officer in the lane i was queueing in was super duper slow. she's pratically questioning everyone thats going past her. my other friends who were in the other lane went through the custom liao we havent even proceed more than a quarter of the queue. fuck! the custom officer must be having pms. after waiting even longer and realising that we werent making much progress, we switched lane. soon after many other ppl joined us cursing and swearing. when we went through the custom, people in front of us in the original lane who were stubborn (and may i add dumb) and refused to change lane are still queueing. that stupid woman made us miss our last bus at 1245. and a malay at that! (blah im a racist, yada yada).
im down with flu. tink my immune system down after eating all those food from roadside stalls and not having enough sleep during the trip. but those food was just too delicious~! been working these past few days too. this and the flu made me too tired to blog these few days. even now i dun have the mood to blog. feeling quite sick. therefore i shall end my entry here. *sniff sniff*

yesterday night job at the miss chinatown was a breeze. rehearsed for half an hour and just hang around the place for a few hours till the actual thing. they even provide a late dinner complete with desserts. hmm...abt the contestants, only 4 out of the 17 present are good-looking. pardon me but some of them are just plain ugly. guess many of u who have never heard of miss chinatown will be tinking these gers must be old hags but they are not. they averaged in their early twenties loh. and my, do they know how to act bimbotic. with them constantly looking into the mirror and trying to give their best "im sexy but im not a slut" look...haha. but after making small talk with some of them, they're not that bad lah ;).
din do the survey thing yet again tonight. woke up at 2pm and felt lethargic for the whole afternoon. went out for a while in the evening but got no mood so came back early. sg idol coming on + no mood = no work also. tink i will be handing in less than 5 survey on tue...heck it.
kl here i come!! haha setting off to kl tmr evening. that means lotsa shopping and food! so excited~. we're saving on the transportation by taking a coach there so that we can spend more on buying stuff instead ;) . have to find something to while away the long hours on the coach. im still deciding whether to rent a nice novel(im tinking da vinci code) or to buy the latest issue of flex(the no 1 bodybuilding magazine haha). and im bringing my fav music along. that will of course include "waiting for you"...haha. haven pack my bag yet. dun intend to pack later either. tmr will be hectic. still gotta go sch to play vball in the morning all the way till afternoon. need to make a trip to buy some stuff before packing my bag. hope everything will work out smoothly.
so, i'll not be blogging these few days. will write abt my trip and post photos when im back~
ps: i've got roaming so u guys can still contact me on my hp if necessary

went for the incredibles premiere on mon due to some pulling of strings from my fren. luckily its free, i would never have pay to watch this show. definately not worth $6.50 or any money for that matter. predictable story line, nothing special. a few funny moments here and there but i bet i would have been able to make u laugh more times in the span of 2 hours. in fact i was forced to laugh along at their jokes coz if i didnt do that, i would have fallen asleep =( . but i guess it would have been entertaining for its intended age group.
started on a new part time job while waiting for my temperature screening thingy. im now a part time door to door surveyor. im supposed to go to the addresses given to me and ask the specified person to complete a 7 page survey on sports. and i will get $9 for each survey done and $10 each from the 16th person onwards. sounds easy rite? thats coz u all haven done any door to door stuff before =p . from my previous experience with door to door publicity for an annual children camp that i helped to organise, im expecting a lot of household not to open their doors at all. even when its so obvious that there are people at home. like when u can hear sounds coming from the tv from outside the house but once u knock, the tv will go mute. thats just the mentality of singaporeans. they would rather be rude and not answer the bell instead of spending 30 secs of their time politely declining any offers the person has to make. and its not like we are trying to sell anything. dont they know that door to door sales is soo~ passe now? anyway i left my house at ard 8.30pm to start on the surveys...couldnt start earlier coz went to clementi to meet someone. only managed to go to 5 household before 10pm coz they are all a few blocks away. guess what? only 1 person did the survey. the rest of the houses were genuinely empty. couldnt believe my luck. 80% of the singaporeans are out on a weekday night? and a tuesday night at that! shouldnt there at least be a housewife or some small kids watching tv at home? curse my luck...
hmm...im supposed to help out at a beauty pageant tomorrow night. miss chinatown 2004. will be paid to play some cds/music. that means i wont be able to do the survey thing. i need to call on all the houses in the list before next tue but i wont be in sg for the weekend. i need help. anybody wanna do? the household are all near yck/bishan/amk area. the earnings will be entirely yours :D

not too long ago i had been playing anson hu "waiting for you" and ryan cabrera "true" non stop. after some time i find that "true" doesnt really suit my taste and that "waiting for you" is the one song that i like. it has been playing on my speakers indefinately for the past weekend. but my destiny with this song is as bleak as the outcome of the couple in the mtv =( . tried playing other songs to see if i can like it as much but to no avail. guess i should keep playing it until i get tired of it or should i stop playing the song and just delete it so that i will forget abt it?
saw angela for 2 consecutive days. yup saw her at sunset bay on saturday also. she went down even though she had spent the previous night in sch doing her project. and she even played vball in the rain on fri evening. hey tats wat i call passion..haa. y am i even mentioning her in my blog? coz she's my dream ger! haha. as in she's the type of ger i wanted...not that she is the ger i want. note the difference? but still i was too shy to talk to her much when i knew her many months ago. wat?! me too shy to tok to a ger? hehe she's the only exception ba... anyway she's now happily attached. but i was still elated when she said i had improved a lot since she last saw me play and that i was playing well for a relative newbie. dunno was it the praise itself or that it came from her mouth that made me happy :p . i would feel so embarrassed if she ever saw this post. luckily the chances of that is practically zero.
went rollerblading today. one of the things that i was once quite good at but stopped due to some reason or another. dug out my expensive skates that had been collecting dust for quite some time with the hope that it will regain the glory it once had. din turn out that way though...it wasnt able to do the stunts it was once capable of. or rather i was able to do them hehe ;)
im exfoliating! oh no...the hard earned tan that i have will soon be gone. argh! i wasnt even sunburned or anything loh...din feel any pain at all. that just goes to show one thing. that too much of a good thing is bad. but sometimes u just couldnt resist~~ :p

damn! i got woke up at 6+ tis morning by a phone call when i had only slept at 4+ the night b4. the phone call was from my fren whose bf wanted to break up wif her. argh! couldnt sleep even after putting down the phone. so decided to go down to her sch to see what i can do and cancelled my gym session with my fren. ended up seeing a lot of frens i haven met in a long time..haha. anyway the break up was just a false alarm lah...the guy din really mean it. really makes me wonder abt their relationship loh...so unhealthy. dunno what the both of them are doing. the guy is forever insecure and they are always on the verge of breaking up and my fren is the only one trying to maintain the relationship. how can one ever be happy in such a strenous relationship? hmm...to each his own ba...
watched princess diaries 2. this is like my 1st chick flick after a long long while. liked it. simple plot, touching, heartwarming and a fairy tale ending to boot without being too dramatic. it even managed a few comical scenes. anth hathway is so~ sweet too.
went to indochine at wisma after the movie. there's a live band playing and the vocalist had such a good voice that jialing fell in love with him...haha. the ambience was really good. i believed all of you should have seen the place when walking past wisma ba. nice decor with soft rock playing in the background. a good place to people watch too. most importantly the price's pretty reasonable.
finally decided to go to kl instead of the primers camp. felt so bad that i pang seh them. the fact that their response is not very good aggravated my guilt. but i succumbed to the devil in me that told me that going to kl will be more fun.
yea tmr will be the singapore radiographic society chalet for the freshies. originally wanted to go down in the afternoon with my clique but i once again buckled to the temptation of going to sunset bay. so i'll be joining them only in the evening. dun miss me guys~ :P . in need of much sleep now! ciao~~

i understand myself too well. after missing yesterday's screening of the champion, i didnt even wince at missing today's episode. not tomorrow's one either. its real hard for me to stay home on a fri night and i wont be doing it anymore. i did predict that i will be indifferent to whether i catch the show once i missed one episode rite? well...it came true aint it? i just understand myself too well :P . oops...did i say i'll be a good boy and stay at home today? hehe....
at least i missed today's sg idol and the champion for a worthy cause. went to watch this play at the singapore repertory theatre. haven watch an international play since secondary school's literature days. anyway the play is called "stones in his pockets" and had won 2 best comedy awards in england. two exceptionally gifted performers play an entire cast of eccentric characters and i couldnt help but be impressed by their stellar performance. i mean theres like 15 characters and they managed to capture the life and essence of each and every one of them. the storyline was interesting and entertainment value high enough, but the highlight was really their acting skills. imagine watching just 2 actors for 2 hours and i wasnt the least bit bored. its showing till tis sun and if u guys got the extra dough($48-$68), do check out wif sistic.
hmm...my frens have been pestering me to go kl wif them next weekend leh. made me wavered between going for the primers camp or this. i tink i'll be letting a lot of ppl down if i do decide to go kl...hmm...need to do some serious consideration.
tat's all folks. need to catch up on my sleep.
ps: i love my new tan~!

the subaru challenge finally ended after almost 75 hours. the remaining ger was ruled out by the chief marshal who said she lifted her hand. i really really admired the ger's endurance. and all those women who were among the last survivors. the women had such a low dropout rate compared to the guys even though this challenge was a test of physical endurance. but one thing that made me shuddered was the look in the ger's eye after she was knocked out after 75 hours. it was not that of disappointment or relief that it was finally over. no sign of life or whatsoever. totally blank. she could not remember participating in the challenge when the first aider cross examined her. she was later rushed to hospital. my fren, who lasted 50 hours, could not walk properly for one whole day. which brings me to one thought. is it worth risking ur life/health for the money?? open for discussion...haha

went back to sunset bay today! the feeling was great~. i just love the sun, sand and the sea...haha. the short malay guy(staff of sunset bay) was as irritating as usual. damn guai lan. asked me to wait for some canoes to come back when i can see so many canoes lying ard. so i asked him u don't have any canoe now meh...we'll take watever u have 1st. then he replied in that conceited tone of his that since i want it that way then we must come back in 30 min. and he gave us the canoes we need. there! he had the canoes in the 1st place mah...y must ask us to wait. must be too lazy to get us the canoes. he kept his words and got someone to shout at us to come back after exactly 30min. wat a scrooge. never had such a problem with other staff. anyway i wouldnt allow him to spoil our fun. made some new friends playing volleyball again. its been quite long since i lay off beach volleyball. realised i still love it as much. had a very good time playing with those guys!
my ex-officer fren is out of the subaru challenge this morning... leaving my ex-commando fren amidst the 47 remaining competitors. looks like "courage dispels fear" (motto of the commando) is better than "to lead, to excel , to overcome" (motto of ocs). haha no offence edwin :p . when i left my fren has already endured 32 hours. wow...32 hours in the open, enduring pelting of the rain, standing under the blazing sun with aching muscles(actually he might not be feeling them any more) and also the cold of the night in his soaked clothing. hmm...wondering is there a limit to human tolerance? haha...hang in there dude~!
drifting off to dreamland in 5, 4, 3, 2....
