The One with the unidentified Nagging

Call it the sixth sense or the seventh or the eighth. But I just can't help thinking that I've forgotten to do something important in the past few days. Don't know about it lar. Just can't pin-point what I have to do. Maybe it's paranoia ( Like Mer ) or maybe its just Dennis' friends calling out to me...

The Past few days have been something like a Movie Mania for me. Having just discovered the "amazing" movie rental shop near my house, it is almost impossible for me not to spend my hard earned cash ( or not ) renting them. However, the movies there, I must say, is quite limited. Judging from the fact that there is absoultely no pornography there... kidding. No lar... The lady-boss is actually very friendly. ( not to the extent of "come-touch-this-lump-on-my-thigh" or "let-me-feed-you-this-sweet" of friendy-ness ) The Uncle-boss there, on the other hand, isn't that a fantastic person to be chatting with. He gives out this aura which suggests that if anybody is to come too close to him ( not that I want to in the first place ), he might just pluck out thier hearts using, say.. a pen? And thier son, this hulking piece of blob just walks in and out of the shop like a senile old man. And his mouth is shaped in a eternal frown. Wondered where he got his genes from. Oh, and if I didn't remember wrongly, he was wearing a Nan Hua Sec shirt. Question: Are all people from that school this wierd? ( with the exception of a few people of coz ) sheez>>

Maybe the next time I see a NanHuarian, I'll throw a stick and shout FETCH!!!


Wonder what his reaction will be? Hmmmmm.....

ciaoz~

p.s: Watching too many films in a single day WILL reduce the fun to rubble.. Tested and Proven

The One with the fat, ugly spyder

There is just so many reasons why humans should hate spiders. Just so many....

I still remembered the many times when one of my friends will make this comment : "Why am I always surrounded my stupid people?" Hurtful, isn't it? ( If you're in the ACC, you'll most probably know who I'm referring to. ) Well, here's a sentence to him. You see, pigeons fly with pigeons, sparrows fly with sparrows and eagles fly with eagles. You get my point?

Not that I'm degrading myself or anything close to that, ( for I admit that I do dumb stuff from time to time ) but sometimes, I suppose that "someone will just have to tell him that insulting everyone around you isn't a very normal way to make friends. Okay, so what have today's entry got to do with him? Nothing! Absolutely nothing.

Actually, come to think of it, there's this indirect connection between today's entry and that guy. The comment he always make. ( Pardon me for my sentence structuring and all the improper usage of my vocabulary for the temperature of the room, I bet, is -20 degree celcius )

Spiders are meant to be crushed with a thick, fat roll of newspapers! I'm not talking about that spider from my Secondary School. ( the one who have a crush on my "sis" and who treats biology textbooks like a scripture, chanting included ) I'm talking about the person who have been in the Army for close to 5 years but currently still holds a rank of a measly coporal. That guy is an annoying as*hole who just can't stop himself from ,well, annoying others. It's been quite some time since I was annoyed with a single person ( most of the time it will be a whole group ) and if I did remembered correctly, he was mentioned in my blog not long before. *Sheez* Anywayz, spiders are meant to be crushed! Just like in the comic stripped Garfield. ( but please, neither of the spiders I mentioned have legs like that of the spider in the comic strip. Confused? Same here )

To round of everything, I think that I might have slept in a toilet last night! For the pillow smells like somebody urinated on it before.

And when I thought dog poo was bad enough.....

p.s: It's very bad to be working in the mess. No diff from working in an old folks home. People here are just cranky old man. No diff at all.

p.p.s: Yes Mer, I've considered being an air steward. However, there's this height/face/confidence/tolerence factor that I have to take note. For now, I'll just try not to spit into any food ordered by the officers.

The One with the temp. Posting

If you are wondering where I am blogging from, let me tell you. Currently, I'm sitting in this super stylo chair infront of a super stylo computer in the Officer's Mess slacking. And in case the two words "officer's" and "mess" doesn't ring a bell, let me explain. It is this bar/restaurant/resting area ( fully air-conditioned except for the smoking section ) in SiSpec Tekong. And just if you are wondering why I am in this "heaven" instead of slogging my heart/brains/muscle out in the Coy line, let me enlighten you. I've been temperarily posted here to help out with the stewards here ( what they call themselves ), a.k.a waiters or bar tenders.

Yesh! That's right. I'm a waiter again.

Seems like be it civilian life or army life, I'll still be a waiter of somesort. But for now, I'm not complaining. In here, there's relatively up-to-date computers with Internet access, lots of T.Vs, an over-active air-con and of coz, no "Sai Gang" a.k.a shit work. Life here ( the first few hours ) is a breeze. Basically, you just sit and relax till a pig/boar with an enormous appetite for alcohol comes in.

However, I shan't count my blessings too early, for you never know what will be coming your way. ( or in your way ) I had a lesson, a stinky one, yesterday. It could be easily the most unlucky day for me.

Tuesday:
To start off, I woke up at around 7.00, which is considered late because I'm suppose to book out at that time for my Physio at NUH. Can't really blame that on luck since I didn't really get much sleep the night before, considering that we ( the sentry personnels ) only reached the coy line at 3 am. And that is after a long, excruiating ride from the west of the island to the east. And to top that, 8 of us were squeezed into the back of a land rover ( dimensions : Length: 2m, Width: 1.2m, Height: 1m ) which also contained numerous jery cans, and trashbags full of rubbish. What's more, the fastest the land rover can go is 50km/hr. Yes, from the west ( NTU ) to the East ( Tekong ) of Singapore. Bad experience. Back to what happened on my way to Physio. So I was like late for my book out, rushing for the bus to the terminal when I realised that the off-pass isn't issued to me yet. So had to wait for my immediate superior to arrive first before I can leave. All these are not the unlucky stuff, the "shuei" thing is that I stepped on dog poo. Spent the whole trip on the Fast-Craft in that cramp toilet trying my best to get ride of that stench. ( no hands involved!!! ) What's worse, due to some "accident" while in the toilet, ( which clearly points to the way my brain functions ) I drenched the whole shoe, inside and out. One cannot do anything right on boats, with the constant rocking of the boat. So so I started my day late, with a squishy shoe with dog poo attached to it. How promising a day can be.

Anywayz, lucky thing is, nobody really noticed the stench ( at least I hoped nobody did ). Mainly because of the expertise that I've shown in cleaning shoes with dog poo on it ( I just can't seem to highlight the "without hands" detail ). Finished my Physio asap, due to the fact that I didn't want to stay in a place too long for fear of people being able to identify and pin-point with eagle-eye accuracy where the smell is coming from. So decided to catch a movie before booking back in ( for I've 5 hours to spend ) Reached Tampinies ( is this how one spell it? ) Mall and went to check out the movies showing at that time of the day. Found out that the only movies that I can catch and at the same time not be late for my book-in is.... drumroll..... Must Love Dogs. Ironic? Definitely.

Anywayz, it's a super lame-o show, so people, don't go watch it, unless you've got a free movie pass/ watching it at clementi or simply have too much money to spare. ( if your reason for watching the movie is the last one, please me aware that there's this save-a-poor-ns-guy donation drive going on and that all proceeds will be used wisely. ) Just don't watch the movie. Just a note that in the movie theatre, apart from the mother-son, the 50+ couple and 2 secondary school students. ( and of cos me ) there's this hot eurasian girl watching the movie alone! Too bad my face only reached her chest. Sheez~


Oh, if you are free, go to the page below, funny stuff

gonna stop for now, or that uncle in the pantry will start chasing me around with a butcher now.

ciaoz~

p.s: I simply have this feeling that somewhere in a Coy line called Foxtrot, there's this Tamil OOC from my same JC cursing me.

The One with the Rented Movies!!

A Few Reasons why Zombies are soooo nice: They Kill, They Eat and They walk the Earth like tiny little insects!! Just like us!!

Well, Sunday was enjoyable. Really~ It's been quite some time since I chilled like that~ NS and all.. they steal the very essence of living happily! I mean, it's been a long long time since I laughed that loud in a fast food restaurant! Rubber anyone?

Saturday:

Finished my guard duty in the early morning!! Was feeling extremely sleepy, even though I was catching a few zZZzz in the lecture theatre during my patrol. It wasn't really my idea of doing that ( my intergrity level is way higher!!!) but looking at how my patrol partner was walking with his eyes close, I gave in to his request!!! I know!! How noble of me~ Can't be helped~ Call it Samson nature....

Went out with Mer, A-Dri-el and Yuhan in the late afternoon for a movie and dinner.. As "usual", they were late!! Haiz~ Why arh? Always have to wait for them... sianz~ Went for dinner at Caffe L.... ( don't know how to spell it ). It was supposed to be a restaurant or something, where most of the time, one will sit and enjoy thier food. Different thing for us. We ordered, we gobbled, and we left! Great image yah? Oh whateva~
Anywayz, went to Cine to watch Land of the Dead!! Woahahahaha!! Very nice!! I mean. how many times will you see a zombie cheerleader? Or a zombie butcher? or a zombie-crushing truck? YEah! The next thing you know, there will be zombie porn!! Gothic!!!



Oh ya.. saw one of my Sergeants at Ceni too.. Guess that he was with his girlfriend ( kinda big boned one ) after having conversation about orgasms on the phone the night before. Makes one wonder what kind of relationship they are having.. Whahaha!!! Strange .

After the movie, went to MOS to grab a drink. Milkshakes to be precise. The waiter looked a little pissed with Mer when she ordered. Don't really know why but my bet is that we ordered one of the most "le-chey" drinks in the house. And Mer accidentally leaked a secret ( so like her Ya? ) and than she talked and talked...blah blah.... and there's this part where the word rubber came in... and there's also the forbidden word "the end" which was later replaced by "to be continued". Really! That was wierd. And am I suppose to give her blessing? I thought only family members give this sought of things? Oh ya, speaking of family members, she met his already! I'm quite sure that you're not suppose to meet your stead's family members until you have gone through like stage 4 of a relationship. ( from a magazine )

Monday:

Woke up with a headache at 3.45am, thinking about the "fantastic" day where I'll be performing sentry for Golf Coy. Apparantly, they needed help from the other Coys as they do not have enough people. Grrr.. and the other two guys who are suppose to help out didn't turn up. They are simply smart enough to get an MC for that day.. skipping the whole sentry shit thingy. Wow.. both guys have names starting with M. Murali is one of them... ( Clenching Fist ) Agony for the whole day ( and night ). The headache didn't go away.. reached the Coy line at 3.00am the next day... Arghz!! imagine the pain people!! imgaine!!!

Tuesday:

Went for Physio again. Had less than 3 hours of sleep.. Arghz~ Lack of sleep always makes people cranky! My therapist said that my knee is getting better!! ( Yipee!! ) but I still cannot run and all ( Booey ). Went to my family doctor afterwards to get some medication for my headache. ( I have this history with the Tekong Medical Officers which somehow causes me not to trust them and their so called "ready supply of medicines". ) Found out that what I had was Migraine.. blah blah.. And yeah!! I got MC for 3 days! *Gawks* hahaha

Went to JE to buy something to entertain me for the next 3 days.. hahaha.. Bought a videoCD at this shop which sells movies slightly cheaper than other places. Slept for a little at home.. than watched Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

Quite a funny show.. the usual big butt on Camera scene came up again. Only this time, it is while she was parachuting, not sliding down a pole. And there's this scene when Bridget got caught with drugs and locked up with a bunch of local women, ( who miraculously knows how to speak english. Not that I'm looking down on Thais but since when did their female prisoners get to learn a language other than thier own? I mean, they don't even get proper sanitation! Get what I'm trying to say? ) But all in all, a very nice movie, I'll give it 3 Almond Jellies!

Went down later in the evening to rent 2 movies ( I heard about the rental shop from Murali only recently ), The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and Scary Movie 3. It was like years since I last rented a movie, with the last being Power Rangers ( the one when Lord Zedd is still kicking ). Incidentally asked the lady there if the shop just opened only to realise that it's been there for a few years and also that she is heart-broken to hear that I didn't know about her existance ( translated form Mandrin, Wo De Chun Zai ). The Shop's Existance, I guess. ( It will be very wierd if it was the former. I'm like 19 and she's like near her 40's. The fashionable trend of brother-sister relationship is like so 5 years before ) Okay.. I'll stop for now. Will continue harping about the other two movies in my next entry!

Tata~

p.s: Am I suppose to sprinkle fairy dust on a person when I give them my blessing? But I don't have any fairy dust! Can I dump hair wax instead coz I've got lots of them. Oh, and remember that rubber is your next best friend, and its available in a variety of flavours and colours ( and maybe shapes!! OMGosh ) at your friendly neighbourhood supermarkets/ 7-11 and mamashops!!

Okay, this entry will be full of shit.

A super slack week past. One more day to National Day. whatever people.

Things started out fine on the previous week. Monday, rumours of the OCC trainees being posted out is like so there!! With me being the next in line to be posted out of that horrible island, how can I not be happy.? Was actually making plans on teaching tuition if I get an 8-5 job in NS! 450 dollars per month just ain't enough to lead a happy life!! Went for Phsyio the next day, only to return to the Coy line to find out that I am not going to be posted out!! Disgusting Revelation!! The Officer Commanding decided to keep the "old birds" around as they prove to be more helpful than the new OOC trainees! One could have seen the "DISSAPPOINTED" written on my forehead if they were paying alittle more attention. I mean, hello! Didn't anybody there heard the phrase : You get what you work for? Yeah! So what if I am being appreciated for helping out the Sergeants! I just want to get out of that island. I am so through helping people. ( not that I usually help people )

On a happier note, I finished reading the lastest installment of the Harry Potter series in just 2 days! Wow! I know that's not the world record but I finished reading that bloody thick book! Not taking into account that I knew the ending before actually touching the book ( thanks to an sms from an "anoymous" person who is bent on spoiling the fun of me reading the book just because I refuse to accompany him to a certain place to suscribe for some membership thingy ) , it is definitely better than the previous one! ( and the one before the previous one and the one before that and that and that, even though I did not have a single clue on what is going to happen until I finished reading for all of them. ) Oh, and I finally got a 100% completion point for FFX-2!!! Yeah! Got to see the perfect ending at last!

Back to the sadder level, my internet connection has been cut off due to some unpaid bills. yaya.. 411.08 dollars worth of bills not paid. I wonder how long my dad didn't pay! And in the end, I have to pay them myself. Out of my bank!!! Arghz! it's like one month of my pay man!!!

AHH!!!!!! broke!!

ciaoz~

p.s : which 7 letter word starts with B and sounds like Mustard?
