Saturday the fun day, a good day for gyming, eating and karaokeing.

Met up with my sisters and Arisa at Diamond Dust, the japanese karaoke box in cuppage. We sang many Jap songs, but some English songs as well. I tried Rick Astley, but just can't sing well at all. Damn, got to practice more.

After 2 hours of karaokeing, we went over to Heeren to take neoprints. Gawd, those neoprints are expensive! $8 per session, wtf. But holycrap, these neoprints machines have turned so advanced now, some have sofa in it, with auto replacing multi-colour background.

After taking shots, the user can manually design their photos using the touch screen behind the machine. My sister Momo was so pro with it, the end result can be seen here.

Trip to CMPB

This morning I went over to CMPB to get my 11B replaced (coz' I'm such a dork to even forget my password, and my card is such a defect it can't even be read by card reader). It seemed I was the first customer there, when I reached there all the clerks seemed to be free. One of them attended to me, but one female clerk looked so familiar to me. She seemed to look like someone I've seen from Roon's blog, so I asked her whether she know Roon.

The very mentioning of Roon's name brought surprise from everyone there. She is such a famous celebrity here. What have she done?

Well, actually she used to be their colleagues, and she just leaves a lasting impression wherever she goes.

Anyway, back to my 11B story. Due to recent migration of their computer system to new computer terminals, their system seemed have some cock-ups (huh, same thing at my workplace), and my card can't be diagnosed. So my consultant told me I got to wait till next week and apply IDMS for replacement of my card. Tough luck...

Best Soldier of the year 2005

Jonathan Huang, the self acclaimed best soldier of the year from SCSC.

On his plundered RP helmet, he bears extra large 3 stripes that was given to him by 3SG Kai Loon for enduring a gruelling training in TCO (Talking Cock Office).

On his chest he wears a Best Cookery Badge, for his ever lasting contributions to canteen in SAFTI MI, just by buying and eating at every tea breaks.

And he proudly holds the national flag, the reminder to all around him his impregnable loyalty to his country.

Another week coming to end

'tis Friday, and I have taken half day leave!

Damn, since I was posted to SSU, I've started to make full use of my leave. Before then I have NEVER took leave before. Guess I deserve some break for all the service I gave to SAF till now, haha.

Anyway, I took leave today because my ex poly collegues are gonna come my house for BBQ party, so I decided to take 1/2 day so I can prepare for the BBQ. Now that I have bought stuff like charcoal and drinks, I took some time to write this blog entry.

Hopefully tonight is gonna be an enjoyable night for all (and make my damn leave worth it!).

I reckon today is a lucky day for me. On my way out of my camp, I met Roon by coincidence, and she gave me a ride to Boon Lay MRT, saving me loads of precious time. Thanks Roon!

It's Mid of July...

17th of July.... 3rd Sunday of the month..... A week after my best friend returned to Australia..... exactly 11 more months to ORD........

If I exclude the leave days, I can count the months to ORD with my fingers now.

Seems so short, but seems infinitely long as well. Can't wait.... for this thing to be over, and join my friends in Australia, to study, to prove myself, to enjoy life.
