well, dont get me wrong, it was a busy day but i am not complaining about it for once.. haha.. in fact i was pretty happy that i was doing all these stuffs.. haha.. surprise surprise.. when i told mdm agnes when she sent me home, she said because it was because i was going to ORD!!! and also because i am used to what i am doing and also i know what s3 wants from me.. haha.. i felt that what she said was kinda true in a certain way.. i am definitely happy that i am going to ORD soon.. although still got one ict to handle.. haha..

walking the quiet, lonely, haze-filled road back home today was something which i could not really picture myself doing after what happened today... today was the first day of 650 SIR ICT.. morning woke up feeling tired but good.. so off in a cab i went to ITI.. on my way there, there was a traffic accident and it wasted 30min of my time.. and i ended in ITI on at 0800hrs(i was suppose to report at 0730) anyway when i reached, the taxi driver told me that he could not print the receipt.. so i told myself, f**k it.. this $26.30 i will not claim.. and off i went into ITI..
once in the inpro shed, settled all usual problems for inpro.. people duno where they are posted to, people wanting deferment and stuff like that... so ok, i was settling it.. then S3 came.. omg.. then CAT 1 was present in the inpro shed i tell you.. he was kinda telling me off for not planning and gettinf ready my reports for the initial report for mob.. i really sian 1/2 la.. wai leng was not around for the last week and she also needed time to do it ma.. anyway i took the scolding and went up to find a fellow platoon mate from ocs to borrow his OA to use and prepare the report.. got kenneth to help me and somehow did the necessary reports.. but could not send it out by 1000hrs as wai leng still could not give me the report as she had to make amendments to it.. so i waited till 11o0hrs before sending it.. so S3 after that was kinda ok la.. then we concentrated on the ICT..
we kinda had a problem getting hold of 1WO chong to update the status to S3.. but all the while she was in S1's office updating the attendance with him.. haha.. how nice.. but anyway, we more of less had a attendance NR and S1 will update me again tomorrow.. then after that, i had to also recce the 15SIB conference room for our bde comd conf on 1NOV.. sian 1/2 again.. after i recce the place with sim, i went back to confirm the ATEC support stuff.. after which, waited for s3 to come back to give me arrows.. and he gave me a ton of it i tell you.. he just sat there and talk and talk and talk and talk.. keep telling me and sim on what he wants and all.. omg!!! i hear liao i also really sian diao.. but nevermind, its part of my job scope as a ASO of 23 SIB.. and thats what i have to do till my understudy comes and i ORD.. it really is a vicious cycle.. upper study to under study.. shall talk about this another time.. so after s3 spoke to me, i let sim and azhari off first as it was already 6+.. then i stayed back till s3 was done using the OA in the bde office..
the last part of today was regarding tomorrow's bball tourny.. one thing which really made me change my mind of not going to ITI in the morning was my buddy's A level exam.. as our team, many people could not make it tomorrow, i was suppose to go and play one... 5 of us will play against armour.. but i last minute could not make it as s3 wanted me to remain in ITI to settle the ICT NR and all.. so cpt pat called my buddy to go and play and skip his practical exam for A levels.. at first i din know... then when i sms to find out details, i realised that he sacrifice his paper to play for cpt pat as cpt pat and himself did not was to walk over the match... upon hearing this piece of news, i could not take it.. so i told cpt pat and my buddy that i and sim will go for the match tomorrow morning.. and let my buddy take his exams.. there is no way i am going to see my good friend's future go down the drain just because of a bball tourny in the army.. no way in hell will i allow it to happen... i mean, what is more important? bball for the SAF or his future? definitely hands down, his future i tell you.. and i told cpt pat that i will go down even if s3 scolds me or kicks my ass or charge me.. i will do anything as long as my buddy can go take his exams in peace.. he din do wel for his first practical paper liao.. so no way is he going to miss this one and waste he time, money and effort to study for the A levels... so i managed to get cpt pat to agree to let me go and play in place of my buddy so that he can take his exams.. i called my buddy and wished him luck.. told him not to worry about the bball and just focus on his paper.. good luck buddy.. dun give up.. you can do it one!!!
hope nothing goes wrong tomorrow.. may there be peace in ITI tomorrow and may cpt pat and myself get out of this mess without getting CAT 1 status..

what a long weekend this has been.. haha.. it started since friday night when i went for soverynn's birthday chalet.. haha.. had alot of fun there.. made some new friends too.. haha.. glad to see soverynn also having a great time with us.. we had a bbq, then soverynn(dunno whats wrong with her la.. keep wanting to pour water on me) poured one times big pail of water on me for not wearing the right theme.. her theme was soverynn's favorites.. but cant be her favourite colour or brand.. then i discussed with her and blackmailed her to let me wear anything i want to the party in exchange that i bring along my mahjong set.. which i did bring.. but she did not keep her part of the deal and punished me for not wearing her theme... so much for hao zin mei hao bao...
well, after that, i did alot of bbq-ing sia.. haha.. cooked chicken wings, satay as well as taiwanese xiang chang.. then after that, we ate the ice cream cake with soverynn's best friends bought.. it was lime and cookies and cream.. haha.. quite yummy.. haha.. then once we were done with it, we went on with some games.. duno how to explain the games we played but we had a great time playing them sia.. haha.. everyone was co-operative and damn enthu about playing the games.. so it was a party well done.. after the games at about 2am , i played abit of mahjong before knocking out on the floor till abt 5 when i got woken up to take my shower.. i was the last one to bath at the chalet..
so after the chalet, i went back home and sleep till 8pm sia.. haha.. i know, call me a lazy pig.. but not enough sleep what... so cant be helped.. anyway after waking up, watched my soccer match then some bad luck happened.. dad asked me to go pick my younger sis up from a party which she was in.. and my sis thinks that i want to purposely go down to pick her up.. but its for her own good.. so when i got there, she was with two drunk friends who took the cab and went over to over place.. shall not say the names la.. but all i can say is they were in the top 28 of singapore idols.. then after they came over to my place, i had volunteered to make milo, fry some food for them as well as a egg mayo sandwich.. after which, i also had to let one of them sleep on my bed.. both of them slept till about 3am, then they both were sober to make their way home.. thank goodness...
then sunday was a painful day man.. was quite sick with flu, cough as well as fever.. omg.. what a bad combination.. and by the end of the day, i used a mountain of tissuse paper la.. this is my evidence..

i really used like alot of tissue on sunday sia.. haha.. after which, i took my medicine and slept for sunday's tennis with ian, ashwin and teng yong..
sunday came and today was another good day.. haha.. played tennis in the morning eventhough i was really really tired and sick.. haha.. but it was good fun.. after that, i went to wheelock to meet keith and shaun for sakae buffet.. that was another traumatic experience... after eating for like 2hrs plus, shaun and keith came up with playing chai quan.. then the loser will eat wasabi.. haha... in the end, i ate abitm shaun also ate abit and keith also ate abit... haha.. but i was the first and last to eat it.. sian 1/2.. anyway the main point is that shaun does not eat wasabi and he had to eat quite abit cause keith won.. haha..

then after the wasabi experience, chris xie came to meet me and keith and we walked around as we waited for sim to come join us.. haha.. chris ate his favourite wanton mee and keith managed to eat a plate of this even after the sakae buffet.. anyway, after wanton mee, we went to this hark music pub and we got chris to go on stage to sing in front of the people present.. haha.. he sang so well that they gave chris an invitation to come back to participate in a competition.. haha.. chris sang pretty well, but he just lacked the confidence.. anyway, going to sleep now and probably will blo again tomorrow.. haha..

its has been a long long week for me in my opinion.. had some bad times in the office as well and on the basketball court.. imagine 5 person playing one full basketball match, playing against the champions.. omg.. anyway, then back in office, got scolded by my s3 just because HRC cock up and never do the call up which s3 wanted..

anyway enough of those stuff.. haha.. today is saturday and its sentosa say.. haha.. went to the beach today and played lots of frisbee.. haha..bought a new one from harbour front.. then went to palawan beach to have a good time throwing it as well as getting a even tan after getting a ugly tan from wearing the basketball jersey.. haha.. the sand today was super hot sia.. cannot stand it.. then after playing for 2hrs, i could bearly walk with my foot in those conditimy ons.. haha.. anyway half way through, had a ice cream to cool down... oh oh.. also, there was this plastic bowl that they use for taking away food in, in it, was filled with water and the lid had holes in it.. haha.. guess what was inside.. three guppies.. im serious.. three guppies.. but two were dead and one was still swimming around.. too bad i did not take a photo to put up.. anyway, its really weird to find that on sentosa at palawan.. haha.. after leaving sentosa, i had my favorite fried hokkien mee at seah inn food centre... its still so good even after so long... i started eating that fired hokkien mee since primary school days... haha.. after that, went back home to prepare for dinner with my parents and sister..
dinner was japanese food at PSA building.. had a sushi bento and it was quite filling.. there was sushi, sashimi, tempura, unagi, chawamushi, miso soup, a salad and also a plate of fruits.. haha.. well, after that, we went over to villa bali for a couple of drinks with my aunt and her family..

the place was really really big.. and there was this cute waitress who served us.. i kept taking glimpses of her.. haha.. especially when she walked over to serve us.. heehee... anyway, they served shisha over there.. wanted to try it.. but parents around, so did not try.. haha.. will upload some photos i took with my little cousin.. and the atmosphere there also quite good.. will recommend it too those who want a nice place to chill and relax..

the weekend has come and gone just with one blink of an eye.. the whole of saturday was practically used for 56 SAB tech mob.. those who duno what a tech mob is, dun have to ask me.. just know that its something which the army conducts to prepare our reservist guys.. anyway, went to see the doctor on friday for my knee.. the bruising still not going down yet.. so went at 8am.. but guess what, when i got my number, it was 134!!!!! wth man.. im on time and still i have to be the 134th person to see the doctor?
but luckily, there was this young lady around my age in the polyclinic.. she was in charge of helping people who want to get the queue number.. they have installed a new kiosk to give the number out.. as it was new, the young lady was there to help those who were unsure... anyway, she is reallt skinny.. but she dressed pretty nicely and i kept taking glipses of her every now and then.. haha.. anyway, then something happened before i got to see the doctor.. there was this old lady, she was complaining to another old lady which she just met about the new kiosk.. she complained that why must they change to this new kiosk system when the old system of pressing a machine and the number would come out.. she said in chinese: machines are dead while humans are alive.. so why should we install a machine which needs someone to mend it when the old system was working perfectly fine.... just listening to her, made me think a little.. when we dont change the system, people would complain.. but when we change the system, people still complain that why must the old system be changed just because of new techonology... one reason i thought about was the fear of changes.. some people fear experiencing changes.. i admit i am one of those who hate changes... i prefer to stick to the old ways in live and not change to something new which i need to readjust to... and another point i concluded from the old lady was that, you can never please everyone which you decisions!!! its so damn true... you may think that you have done the right thing, but there will ALWAYS be people who are against your decisions.. its life and i guess you do what you feel is right...
i saw the doctor and got one week of light duties which will be useless as i will still have to play in the interform basketball tournament.. well, reason why i saw the doctor was also to get a MC for my investigaton report.. haha..
now to talk about the tech mob without getting into trouble if i leak too much information.. well, it was a mob for a 56 sab battalion.. (army boys should roughly know what i am talking about) anyway, my role there was to play psp and also look after people who will call the nsman to tell them they are activated.. anyway, did my job and was hoping for a good lunch, but instead, lunch was horrible and had to order mac to fill my stomach.. and that mac was to last me till 2330hrs.. why i did not eat dinner any earlier, was because i had to follow angEL out for house recce... haha.. went to 6 different and only one of them reported back for the mob... but was rewarded when we met this hot lady who was the nsman's girlfriend... haha..
after the tech mob, parents fetched me to bedok hawker centre for my "dinner".. a plate of fried oyster.. haha.. best recommend la!!! anyway then after supper, i was too tired and just went to sleep after logging onto utopia... kingdom having war now leh..
sunday was used to recover my muscles and get ready for monday's match... had breakfast with ben and lim at mac and then watch michael schumacher lost the world title due to an engine failure.. sad case i tell you.. when i saw it on tv, i just felt the pain for him.. haha.. so close and then his machine let him down.. and its his last season in F1... after that, went back home and played my psp till i sent my dad to harbour front to take his bus up to KL to work.. after coming home, watched a little bit of A1 grand prix where singapore came in second last(caa when i switched off the tv) haha.. hope tomorrow's match will be alright..
wish me luck!!!!

didnt get a chance to update my bloggie over the weekend.. haha.. been too tired to update till now la.. so i'll start with the weekend..
this photos will sum up my saturday.. haha.. was suppose to go sentosa to sun tan with my classmate and his girlfriend.. but ended up it rained almost the whole time we were there.. so din suntan and just played frisbee.. sian.. so this photo taken when at the toilet totally expressed how i felt at sentosa.. haha... after sentosa, went to seah inn(opposite harbour front) food court and ate roti prata and fried oyster egg.. haha. shiok shiok sia.. haha.. then went back home to join family for dinner and then crazy horse...

photo was taken along clarke quay.. my dad, mum, and two sisters.. the one on the left is my elder and on the right is the younger.. anyway, the three loh children had dinner at crazy horse.. cause when we bought the tickets at malaysia, we only bought three as crazy horse only admitted 21 and above. then when we came back, it changed to 18 and above.. wts... anyway my sisters and i were walking around to kill time then we luckily bumped into our parents.. so we took a photo and walked around till the show started at 10.. so i went into the place, then watched the show.. it was alright la.. not that good but there were some really nice dancing as well as music... but other than that, not really worth the $87 for the show la... haha.. then by the time i went home, was time to sleep sia..
sunday i watched the F1 race at home before going to my friend's place to watch click.. the movie was quite good.. love the part when adam sandler was dying.. he realised his mistakes and also managed to find the strength to point a middle finger as the guy who stole his wife.. haha.. then after that, tried to stay up to watch a soccer match.. manchester united vs newcastle united.. but ended up sleeping for most of the match and then left for home to sleep and get ready for battle in office..
monday passed pretty quickly.. had basketball training in the evening and was quite good but tiring.. then tuesday was kinda bad.. haha.. had a bad knock in the knee region... at first the pain was overwhelming.. then when i sat down, the vein started to swell and the vein actually started to pop out.. scary sia... then after that, lta wang helped to rub it the vein so that it will not swell so much after icing it.. i screamed like shit la.. but its really damn painful.. then after breakfast, i iced it awhile more then just let it be till after i changed in civillian.. the end product of the bruise is like this: 
so after i went back home, i took a hard boiled egg and rubbed it a little before i blog and sleep.. hope it will go down before thursday.. thursday will be the interformation basketball tourny liao.. hope we wun get trashed till too jialat.. haha..
