Hmmm, just did some shopping for a gym ball to work those back muscles. Pretty much slack for today, watching "The Jacket" and finding jerseys and stuff. Keira Knightly is so beautiful!! Ah! The story's a little refreshing from the usual stuff. MAybe my next week's preview would be some unfortunate events show.

Been snooping around and found 10//2 jersey to be one of the most beautiful jersey ever.... It's black and sleek! Ooo... MAybe i should hope down to Trek3 to have a look this sat. hmph... Not much money left to spent as all of them are in the bike's fund. Actually i can buy my bike now... But the problem is... Which one? And how? Buy full stock? Or part by part? Pretty much restricted to Giant, Scott, Specialised, Trek.

P.S: Carbon is pretty much preferred....

Or should i spend a bit half on the bike and half on a new DSLR? But my bro's getting one pretty soon... Most prob Canon... So why don't i just play around with his instead? hmm... =P Pretty obvious isn't it? I'll just wait till he's sick of his new toy and i'll borrow it frequently and then.... haha... Am i evil? hehehe.... So i can pool more into the bike...

How well, next see about it till next year...

Ah! Fianlly found my digi cam cable! New photos coming up!

Went for a ride with Zebin, Lek and Eejin yesterday night! Here's my path: Sembawang, Novena, YMCA, Mt faber, Sentosa, Harbourfront, NUS and back home!

It was one hell of ride... I learnt something new again. I found the reason why i have cramps so easily. Cos i'm always on gear 3! I tried gear 2 for a while with a faster spinning cadence, it feels great! heh... Lost a glove somewhere in the NUS hostel... Soles of my shoes almost half ripped out. More $$ to spend on gloves and spds... The lonely ride home was tiring, torturing and a big mental breaker. I was struggling after a long break of long dist cycling. I reached home at around 3 plus. Oh well, i lost a quite a load of fats there. I'm happy!

Just sat around reading and watching anime. Gotta recover and relax.. I do deserved a good rest. heh... More shopping tomorrow!

Had dinner at TP Sizzler! It totally rocks! I missed Sizzler food so much! Although the meal is smaller now, I tried to fill it up with the salad buffet and soup. I'm having a craving for salad recently. I don't really like cooked vegetables, like my tasteless vegetables like my mom cooks... (Sorry Mom! =P) I like to eat them fresh and crisp. heh...

Had much with the booster pack today. Got a rare Yousei, the morning star! One of the few joys of magic. heh, I'm adding it to my legend deck... I love legends.

I didn't realised until recently that washing your face with a facial cleanser or worst still a facial scrub after shaving is so bad for the skill! AH! Stupid me! Glad that not much damage was done... otherwise... haiz...

Oh well, gotta really start thinking about my futher studies. Where should i go? What do i like? Psychology? Behaviour sciences? Engineering? Health sciences? So many to choose.

Currently reading the biography of LAnce Armstrong. Bad me, my habit of skipping books is getting worst. I have 2 books to finsih and 3 mag to flip throught... Not to forget the sandman comics! AH!

Not really going out much these days. don't really hav ethe energy to wander around the island to snap... I'm thinking of going more into photo than cycling now... Well, if you know me well enough, i'm fickle-minded at times... This would lower down the bike budget and the frame material... =/

I'm kinda in the weird feeling of avoiding people these few days. To be truthfully, looking a the same faces everyday in camp seems monotonous. Need some changes and stuff. I should go out more often. I just don't want to strike up a conversation and talking stuff that I don't really want to talk about or any samll talk that goes buzzing around for hours inthe locker rooom. I just wanna be alone for a while and stuff. Me moody these fese days. I might stuff a shoe up anyone's mouth if i really don't feel like listening. =P

I had a great dinner and groceries shopping at Sembawang shopping centre with my family. Best of all, all expenses paid for by dad! =P Haven't gone out for quite a while as a whole family to do some minor shopping and stuff. It felt great! Rented 'The Interpreter' DVD and it's 3.5 out of 5 stars! =D So go rent! maybe i shold rent a different dvd to watch every night instead of playing games. hah! talking about games i'm addicted once again.. Ragnarok Battle Offline is inspired by a spoof flash game by Freshbread, which may be downloaded off underground.net... the game is in jap so the language barrier again... I should have continued with my jap lessons! ah! For those who wanna try out the game ,click here for the forums . Well, register for the forum and you would get the link there under the downloads section. hope you guys enjoyed it.

Good night.

I'm practically cursing and swearing almost everyday in camp. It's THE culture in the SAF which i don't really like. I'm trying to reduce the number of time i just sprout ouf all those disgusting vuglarities all of instinct and times of frustration. 'F words' starts shooting out like mad when something goes wrong, colourful hokkien vocabulary as a cliche in every phrase spoken. Talking at home seems to be like a strain cos you don't know when are you gonna shoot them out again. haiz...

Magic cards taking up space soon with all those deliveries coming in and such. I'm practically on a no spending curfew for the next few months. Saving money is hard. Temptation just drives everything out of order. =P''''

Ah!!! I wanna read my comics, play Ragnarok Battle Offline, play magic cards read books, fix my gundam wing, go cycle, take photos, go ona holiday, start learning yogo and stuf and so on and blah blah blah....


Heh, i don't know what to type anymore... This is getting no where.

Happy birthday Singapore! Was suppose to get my butt down to esplanade to take pictures of fireworks and stuff. No one wants to go with me, and i'm sort of lazy these few days. So i ended up sitting in front of the tv and watching the parade. This is my first time watching after a 3 year hiatus. oh well, i find it boring =P My favourite is the 1998? That was the last time i actually got the tickets.

Spent the whole afternoon watching Ayumi countdown concert stadium dvd. I found it very inspiring. She's just to KAWAII! Countdown is more fun filled with her jumping around and waving around trying to spice up the concert. I felt so much 'happier' after watching her concert! Anyway she reminds me vividly of someone... oh well, off to my sandman comics!

Engrossed bewilderment

A rather disapponinting day to start with. The whole team got held back due to some serious incidents that need some reflections and amendments. Everyone was agitated by the hold up. They were all packed and ready to go out of the base. They just want to get out of the base that 'imprisoned' them from their other worldly connections. So things got a little harsh, and everyone starts blaming the in-charge. I felt that this force him into a tight position to control with his personal needs and the need of his appointment. So sometimes the things we have to do, are done with a rationale that does not defeats the main purpose. Sometimes, rather most of the time, things are not to our liking. But those things have to be done... Complains? Trying to get them to understand is so hard!! ah!!!!

Well, the evening lighten up my spirits with 'a gathering of a army' at Luni's place.... Magic was slow for me on my side... ah....... I need my cards delivered soon! to sleep now! duty tomorrow and off on monday =D

P.S: i took leave on National day! Any one wanna go photo taking or joint he fun at the padang or something like that?

Hmm, back home for a while. Gonna go back later.. So sad... Just to clear up some misunderstanding. I didn't dislocate my shoulder after all. Well, it felt like it was, with the bone moving here and there. If i freaked any of you, my apologies...

Anyway, i'm thrown back to my underground office again. HAiz... It wasn't that bad. After i left, ALoy revamp the whole working environment there. And it seems more like a chalet now. haha... Officers going hard down on us due to lots of shitload from the juniors... It's time to square them away now... Hopefully they would listen, repent, reflect and understand that their actions have a lot of consequences.

MJ back from Tekong! I missed that place! We used to walk around the whole island playing treasure hunt. haha...

Lun's and maomao's birthday this sat... Dun know what to get...
