Busy week in the army.
Didnt go for physio appt the whole week, and had 2 duty days ( thurs , fri)
Rushed home before heading to holland V to find 06S17 guys.
Got ripped off at thai express ( 8 bucks for 3 tiny chicken wings wtf?) Then went to wala wala.
Damn full alr by then. Heng heng 9pm on the dot managed to get the waiter's attention there. Hence 1 for 1 beer. By the time we were half way done with our first bottle, we felt like dying alr. Seriously damn full LOL! Thankfully ah ban came after about an hour. For some reason, i got hungry again after he arrived, and we ordered a plate of chicken wings ( 10 bucks for arnd 10 wings, so much better) Had a good time with the guys, it was like a long overdue meeting.
Went to Malaysia the next morning with parents and sis. Rather interesting trip - got to see how the factory workers sorted out the different grades of potatoes, chilli, shallots. Gigantic warehouse full of crates lol. Went to a few supermarkets too before going back to the airport. Had KFC there, and the cheesy wedges was gooood. =)
Sat night - dota night as usual lol. Went to RV once again to eat the cheese prata before dotaing the night away. Met up to watch Public enemies the nxt evening. We were all rather disappointed with the movie cause expectations were high. Guess we dont really know how to appreciate this kind of movies lol. Hope to catch another movie - FIGHTING soon.
Dinner @ Astons was really filling + affordable price. Will definitely go back there again ( if there isnt a long queue )
I guess everything is done and dusted now.
I actually kinda feel that it was all a hoax leh. Feel like i kanna cheated liddat -_-
Oh well, I guess most bad experiences are actually good learning experiences. =)
EPL is starting soon. Community shield - manu vs chelsea on national day. No prizes for guessing which event i will be tuning in to if both shown at the same time lol.
I have not watched NDP on tv for abt 6-7 years le. But if got ticket to go watch it live, I would probably be interested. The atmosphere on the day itself in the stadium will surely be damn shiok.
Hopefully both Owens in manu will stay injury free. If that happens, manu shouldnt have any trouble winning the league again.
Got my PDL alr. Still yet to get my hp cover, get in touch with a driving instructor, and decide on when i wanna take the final theory test.
Gonna be taking off on friday. Will be gyming early at 9am before heading to orchard to get information about australian unis. Havent yet decide on what to do for the rest of the day though lol.
Shall post again later in the week.

Just when i thought i was all over it...
Seems like whenever i manage to get over an obstacle, 2 more will appear right in my face.I dont think the situation can be salvaged at all from this moment onward.
The bait wasnt taken though it was completely within it's grasp.
Oh well, not entirely shocking considering events of late.
I need to get over it, and seriously carry on with everything i want to accomplish.
On a side note, the Ass man stamped his authority on his first day back and insisted that i wont be able to travel overseas with my camp mates. LOL!
Hopefully there wont be any more terrorist bombings in the next few months, if not i wont be able to use my 14 days of leave usefully alr. -_-
Ironic thing is...
I will be travelling with him and my mom to malaysia on saturday. rofl!!!
Hopefully there will be my jc class outing on friday night and 405 outing on sat night. yeah. =)
The Second Labour of Hercules
Upon reaching the swamp near Lake Lerna, where the Hydra dwelt, Hercules covered his mouth and nose with a cloth to protect himself from the poisonous fumes. He fired flaming arrows into its lair, the spring of Amymone, a deep cave that it only came out of to terrorize neighboring villages [4]. He then confronted it, wielding a harvesting sickle (according to some early vase-paintings) or a sword. Ruck and Staples (p. 170) have pointed out that the chthonic creature's reaction was botanical: upon cutting off each of its heads he found that two grew back.
Well, the highlighted part of the paragraph above kinda describes what im facing lol.
goin.. goin... GONE!

It has been almost an entire week.
The outings with stand and 405 guys helped time to pass quickly over the weekend lol.
Ice -age was rather crappy, the other movie ( fifty dead man walking) was shown at the picturehouse in cathay. First time in that kind of cinema, the seat is rather big but it dosent really appeal to me cause of my back. The movie was interesting and good.
Went to RV to eat prata after the movie and had a nice long chat there with the 3 guys. Ended up dotaing AGAIN (3rd round of the day lol) till 4.30 am before finally going home.
Debao fetched bug and I to eat supper at 1+ am the previous night too lol. All the way to Bukit Timah, and i only drank Tea -_-
Ive got to restart my engine and begin to study for my SATS early this time round. I really hope to get at least 2100 + for the SAT 1.
Application essays are gonna force me to sit in front of my computer for hours.
I've got to get Teachers to help me fill up some forms too. Probably Gary Tan from Qwss and Ms Yip from JJ.
Have to decide exactly which are the schools i want to apply to also.
One last thing - Should i go Australia to Monash? lol!
Wen is there, bohr is probably gg there next year. Even bug might be gg there.
Summary of list of things to do
- Apply PDL
- Book FTT
- Get Driving instructor and start learning!!! =)
- Decide on the universities which i wanna apply to
- Start on Application essays and filling up common application forms after ive decided on unis
- Check up on Australian Unis
- Get new Hp back Cover
- Buy Books for SAT Revision early and get ready to start studying again
- find out whether there are any more seminars with regards to US/ aust Universities
And i gotta do some of these tasks every week
- Do back exercise at least once a day
- Swim at least thrice a week
- Jog Once a week
- Gym outside at least once a week
- Gym in Camp thrice a week
- Lift my dumbbells thrice a week
lol! I just wanna be fit again like in the past where i was able to do 20+ pull ups continuously.
I can do 8-10 now =)
After 1 full week, i think i have finally seen the light.
I cant afford to keep waiting and being wishy-washy.
Whats done is done, i have to keep on living.
Nothing else apart from one thing is for sure, I know who my true friends are.
Time wont wait for me, i gotta work towards my goals starting from 2ml morning.
I Shall Succeed!

Well well well..
Interesting 2 days. 1st day was like an extreme high and the 2nd is an extreme low.
It has been a truly eventful journey but i guess it is gonna end for good now.. Ups and downs were obviously inevitable. I guess i should remember the good times only bah. I'll try =)
At least i think its an amicable end to what has been an amazing experience.
As she loves to say - we only live our life once. Hence we shouldnt let anyone stop what we really wanna do.
I dont really wanna go overseas to further my studies.
However due to my lack of effort in both 2007 and 2008, I dont think i have any other choice.
Realistically speaking, Its either SIM or USA.
Dont think i can get in a good uni in australia unless i use up a year for foundation studies. Im not really keen on that though.
So after much thought, i kinda conclude going to the united states is the logical choice.
Since young, i have never really thought much about what career i wanna pursue. But i guess business is the only thing i have any interest in. And hopefully my brother and i can help my dad to run his company in the future.
In my opinion, to enter a business course in either SMU, NUS or NTU would require smth close to ABC to even stand a chance.
Not that i think im stupid and cant achieve those grades (Im positive i would have been able to if i had put in more effort in my JC days)
I just dont wanna take any more chances already. If i were to screw my A lvls up (AGAIN) i would have no choice but to enter SIM.
I guess having a business degree from a respected US university would be better. Plus, i feel that i would learn to be more independent if im overseas. Finally out of my comfort zone for once lol
ok random change in topic. Changed my specs today. according to the employee at the specs shop. the colour is more modern!
LOL!
lazy to write le. will cont on soon.
if anyones reading all this crap, tag on the board pls. lol im curious.
put nickname or smth if u shy. LOL

Decaying slowly but surely.
If i can describe it, i would think it as an old guy dying slowly and painfully on a hospital bed.
Euthanasia is a solution i guess.
But its a difficult choice.
Should the family members allow him to die a painless death?
or should they allow him to live but suffer in agony?
Well, a decision must be made eventually.
Its just a matter of time.

total 2000 flat . -____-
i was like WTF!!! was hoping to get 2100, dreading anything under 2000.
and there you go. I got 2000 zhun zhun. LOL
now i gotta make some impt decisions again..
Since i've already done my SAT1. Im probably gonna do my SAT 2 of course.
I initially planned to take both the SATS + retake A lvls ( yes, again? lol)
I dont think thats gonna happen now though. Cause im gonna have to spend quite some time to construct and polish up the essays. -_-
So what does this mean?
I have to decide if i should still retake the A lvls. and i want to make a final decision by the end of this week.
... I think im more inclined towards just Taking the SATs alr. And thats probably gonna be my decision unless something changes my mind somehow lol.
oyeah, manu finally signed valencia! =)
hopefully our new striker will be coming next. benzema yes?
