♥ 6:11 PM
lol just realised i havent been blogging for the last two weeks. army has been the usual - its stupid.
went for my second driving lesson last friday! lol quite exciting. i actually got my PDL already so i can drive on the roads, so my instructor said i could drive around sengkang. we were driving around the anchorvale area, and we actually drove past my house as well haha. FUN. some roads there were more cars, some there were less. anchorvale area there has almost zero cars, coz like its quite ulu. not the built up area, the area around anchorvale CC. talk about the CC, it looks very nice! from the outside it looks as if there are many facilities inside available for use.. and its so near my house (: there were four tall towers of flood lights, so ya i think there should be a track too? im not sure, didnt really see that clearly. but if there's a track and field then it would be some marvelous CC. WOOT.
Out of all the driving lessons that i've had, nothing has been really a problem except the part where i engage the first gear and slowly move off. the moving off part has been really giving me a problem. 90% of the time my car just keeps jerking when it moves off.. sometimes very bad, sometimes not that bad. the control of the accel for me isn't really perfect yet. frigging hell, and its like sort of the most important part of driving. i asked my friends in camp and they said its normal to have that kinda problem coz they had it too. but argh i wanna get rid of it as fast as possible. if i keep this up how do i get my driving license as quick as possible ><
these few weeks in camp made me realise how long i haven't been playing pool. was running around the track yesterday, and after running we actually walked past the enlistee's corner of 4SAB. its not my unit, but i went in to ask if it was an all rank mess, so ya the guy inside playing pool said yes. once i saw the pool table i so felt like playing pool.. so i was thinking maybe can just wear the normal admin shirt, then although not my unit's mess just come in and play LOL. i told my friend that he said ok la maybe we come next time. HURRAY. i mean ok la my unit has a mess but then it has a rule that says an officer must be with u in order to use the mess =.= i dont know what kind of rule is that, but rules are rules right =/
and woot, looking forward to this weekend where we're all gonna play tennis and other sports in school! so yeahhh its gonna be fun. haha 2 weeks ago we were trying out tennis and we kinda got the hang of it, so maybe this time we'll play at a faster pace or something. haha.
oh! that reminds me. i went to see rae off on the day she left, and WOW was the place posh. her farewell was held at a place called jetquay. its at changi airport, and i bet most of you all dont even know such a place existed. i didn't until i went there lol. the slogan for it was "a dunno what for the elite" or something. forgot exactly what it said, but its called the CIP terminal as well, which stands for commercially important people. the whole place was so posh, there were huge comfortable sofas, and a counter which serves u juice, coffee and even alcohol if you'd like. like WOW. i met rae's parents and told them the place was very posh, they just laughed it off lol. haha.. ah well all the best to rae and her studies! i went to search up on edinburgh and i realised its the capital of scotland lol. and edinburgh Uni is actually quite renowned in the country, not to mention higher in rankings than a few ivy league unis.
hmm alright think i'll sign off here.. totally looking forward to the weekend!
round and round we go...

raining cats and dogs
♥ 6:01 PM
okay somehow these days it has been raining quite heavily? not sure if it happens in your area but it happens at my camp and even in sengkang, which are like miles apart, so maybe the whole singapore is experiencing this rainy spell. i wanted to go run during my nights off today but looks like i can't already. hmm im looking out of my window now and the rain seems to have slowed to a slight drizzle. ah well its still not nice to run in wet weather or wet conditions, my shoes are bad on slippery ground and the whole dampness just dampens your feelings when you're running. lol maybe its just me but i totally don't like running in wet weather.
i'm the usual in camp, just doing my job in the army till i can actually stop doing it. the past weekend i took an off on friday, just to rest and slack. lol sounds like vest and slack, but whateva. yeah.. and on saturday a few of us went out to catch a movie. Haven't seen glen like in a few weeks, and finally he could meet up so yeah. nk, bk, were also there to catch the movie, and after that managed to meet jianzhi and benseck. and i still cannot imagine how i ended up watching wall-e. lol all of us admitted that the trailer was very lame and childish looking. but in the end we still watched it, and surprisingly i found it quite nice. lol. the wall-e strikes back. really, the storyline was good and it was quite a meaningful movie to watch. the animation was quite spectacular.
after that we went to comex to check out all the stuff there, i was thinking of getting a cam while nk was more interested in the macbook air. bk was looking at laptops i think. after comex we went for dinner at a restaurant beside the fountain(comex was at suntec). we were talking about going for a drink since afternoon, and at night when every1 met up we all didnt mind going, so ya we went for a drink. lol first time visiting chijmes and i didn't expect it to look like it did. quite a nice place and there were many different pubs there, some offering huge screens to watch the EPL and relax, some just quieter and are nicer venues to chill and hang out. also saw a cafe/pub called maid cafe, where all the waitresses were dressed like maids. kinky~!
we didn't stay there for long, think we left at around 1145pm, took night rider home and that was it. took some pictures of the drinks. haha. dunno la somehow i find all the drinks that pubs serve just looking visually pleasing. ok maybe they have to be coz its supposed to make you wanna drink it o.o
bk brought us to a pub called La Viva. the sofas there were super comfortable! haha can sleep one. that day nk wanted to have a christian name for himself, coz he said that way the people at his unit would recognize him better. LOL thought of many nice and funny names for him but in the end i think he decided on quite a nice one. I'm not sure which one or whether he's using it as yet, so you should go ask him yourself. haha.
oh! and im going for SMU CHALLENGE THIS WEEKEND! the goal for everyone is to cycle a certain distance in 36 hours. if i didnt remember wrongly its 15000km. haha. cooooooool just keep cycling on static bikes. good training too xD quite excited about it sounds kinda interesting and we're cycling at plaza sing atrium lol. think everyone will be looking and their faces will go WoW. quite looking forward to friday actually. my second driving lesson. hopefully i don't rev up the engine till its too loud or something. haha. cya all soon =)
ok in order of the pictures posted from top down:
Bk's peach sangria.
My peach daiquiri.
Ben seck's tequila sunrise.
nk's and jz's corona extra and hoegaarden beer respectively. they felt like drinking beer that day so yeah. i found the corona extra quite nice, not so thick and its easy on the throat. lol first time for me finding beer nice. those beer are good stuff, not like tiger beer lols.
5.and finally all the drinks taken together!
round and round we go...
