hmmm , new blog in the making .
virgin blog
can imagine ? this blogging trend has been blowing for years and i've just hopped onto this train . i'm not slow but just too lazy to create one . keep having the mindset that you got to have good knowledge in html and all the script-writing skills in order just to set up one . 'what is important is to keep the contents coming in' , that is what xiong and sheng said . just hoping that my blog will stay for the years to come ...
year 2006
2006 has been a very ... diao year for me . why diao ? because i cannot think of a word to describe it . the most eventful month will definitely be july , when news of my wai po pass away . i had mixed feelings because i think it's a 'release from anguish' for her . she worked so hard for most of her life , only to be left in old folks home by her only son , an unfilial , heartless creature .
well , unhappy events aside , there are many more happy moments for me , only to lose out in terms of magnitude . selected for attachment with sia engineering in march , reunion with primary school friends in june , the many gatherings i had with secondary kakis , i think all these did make up for the black month of july .
18december
the very last month of 2006 is my month of the year . had been a long time since i went camping . so when lim bin invited us to join her club for one night at underwater world , we agreed to it . i would say it was an enjoyable moment for us , only for the day to be ruin by the torrential rain .
some unhappy moments did happen because of the different ways of approach that limbin preferred and adrian wanted . it was a very strained situation and i actually stayed thiam thiam throughout . adrian and kahboom defended their decision to include forfeit for some games but limbin as organiser , wanted safety first . i wanted to shoot them down because it seemed to me that both of them forgot our role only as facilitator and in fact someone did injure herself during those forfeits . but because i know the fragility of friendship , i held back . other than that , it was kinda fun .
yuelong and i were stationed at the southern tip and it was damn cold there loh . with nothing to do except to count the number of times the rain comes and goes, we chatted about army stuff . heard lots of stories and advice from him . toliets were far , far away and because our bladders cannot tahan anymore , we empty right into the sea . haha , in full view for the sailors onboard those cargo ships berth distant away .
had bbq that night with bin's students and slept in classrooms . it was very boring because no other thing to do except to watch movie . and the movie was so yucky . an insult to my eyes and brain . began marking out boundary for our make-shift bed before we were knocked out . that was the first time i slept in wgs . the tables were hard but tiredness overcame all things .
the next day was graduation ceremony for the sec5s . it was quite funny because we were actually expecting mrs song at the entrance , wanting to shake hands with her . but an uncle whom we dunnoe know shook hands with us . wth ! we found out he's the op manager for senoko -_-" . after the ceremony , we were presented each with $20 voucher . didn't expect to be rewarded in the end for helping , so we decide to treat her next time using those vouchers .
driving test
and before the camp , i'd just passed the driving test . it was a very nervous one loh . i made 2 terrible mistake ; one for striking kerb and another for obstructing traffic . but for the rest , it's a easy as 123 . i think i still passed because my driving is very smooth lar . so now , i can officially va va vroom my family out for dinner le . yeah !
christmas eve
christmas eve was very boring lah . nobody asked me out and i lazy to really organise one outing . that's why i've said it's a 'special christmas' . so special until i went nowhere . my sis's friends came and stayed through the night , and we had a round of mahjong . other than that , nothing much . then christmas that night , rushed to brainstorm what to write for christmas cards . that damn xiong kept the cards with him until now then let me see . then when we meet , he again damn blur until never bring the cards out -_-" . so had to go his house write sia . write finish le must send right ? being postman half way at night , it starts to rain , heavily . poor sheng accompany me to deliver , with both of us become 'chicken in the soup' . really appreciate sheng's effort . 26december
went to watch superstar in the studio . mediacorp studio leh . first time there and we alighted too early , so had to walk under the rain loh . it was an eye-opening experience once there . claps we hear in the televised show are recorded beforehand , and we are told when to clap and shout and when not to . quanyifeng and wangjianfu got quite a number of ngs because they were all so tired , having to record male and female competition on the same night .
i find that being hosts for such programs is tough . you are only given a script , but how you make the whole script comes alive is the most important part . and they did a great job , making audiences laughed throughout . kudos to them .the whole recording ended at 12mn and we went to have supper at the prata house at thomson . i spotted xuhuanliang and dunnoe his manager or wife sitting right next to us . so damn heng sia . his trademark botak head was so prominent that one look i knew it's him . spotting this hard-to-come-by chance , i demanded him to autograph on our tix . haha ... the signature is like ... 'wah , really ur signature meh ! or u trying to bluff me' . cannot figure out what he wrote loh . but nvm , i got see him face to face can liao , because in superstar , i think his comments are those 'one needle can see blood' de type . then when he asked me how's the performance , i just blah blah along with him loh .
27decemberwent to escape to rot . ya really rot there loh because the entry fee is only $6 . it's a waste not to go . again , disagreement arose . kahboom wanted take train and the rest wanted bus . same reason by kahboom : 'because got mrt concession' . -_-" wth ! i also got mrt but i want bus , because it's faster . haizzz . in the end , he won . dunnoe since when he becomes so niao1 .then ask adrian to join us and i actually forget about him until we were queuing for rides . had i know he will be so boring with the rides , i wouldn't have asked him along . because we became boring in the end and i think his bored-ness somehow did affect us . the most enjoying part is the haunted house loh . we gachiao the next group of people by hiding behind curtains then suddenly shout at them . we are really a bunch of mad guys . then went for kiddy train rides sia . really very siasuai when we acted so scare when engaging a turn . and yes i wanted to complain . the inverter and alpha8 are always under maintanance . the rides had been there for 8years liao still dunwan to change . how to attract more people when there is no changes ? i think better close down in 2 years time lar , just in time to celebrate 10 years of operation and then close to make way for the new sentosa resort theme park .
year 2007
my very first blog entry will jolly well be the last for 2006 . i think it's special in some ways because i had been wanting to blog about my life but lazy to do so . i think it is a very good way of expressing feelings for people like me , very inner-type (nei4xiang4) of person haha . turbulent 2006 it might be , i hope that 2007 will be as turbulent as possible . after all , i had learnt a lot during these times . and i believe so that through times of trouble will people then grow .
