monday blues?

posted by tristan @ 2/27/2006 09:39:00 PM

what a day to start off for the week. I was late for the freaking first time. But I guess I'm somehow blessed a lil'. The DM have stepped down and today came a new 2nd WO to take over his position. No push up or any other form of punishment. Just verbal warning. Whew!!

The feeder bus at my place sucks! Once you missed it, that's it! And some drivers can just take their own sweet time to drive man. The moment I arrived at Dover MRT station, it was already 7.20a.m. I called for a cab immediately but non was avail. Finally, I managed to flag one and off we go. However, there's a bad traffic jam at Portsdown Road and I reached camp at 7.45. Sneak to the locker room to change. I don't want to report at Parade Square to avoid being knock down in front of so many trainees. My skin is thin and its damn embarassing.

And now I realised I could just take a bus instead. Since I'm already late, no point right.
What a waste of my $7.30. But what's the use of grumbling now?!

Its month end again, broke as usual.

what if you met a looney?

posted by tristan @ 2/25/2006 10:53:00 AM

I just met a looney on the train yesterday evening. And I must say I've never been this scared before. Maybe Esther is trying to pass some of her looney experiences to me.

Anyway, as usual on the train ride home, I was with my friend who reside in the same estate as me. I was almost dozing off while standing up when this malay guy just appeared in front of us from nowhere. When the train started to move out from Bedok, he started talking to me. He asked where I live, asked some questions regarding NS, asked what's our name, me and my friend relation, he told me where he live, where he intend to go after he alight , and many other shit questions. For all I know, I try not to maintain any eye contact with him while answering. And the thing that makes me freak out was when he says he need to use the toilet urgently after he alight. I was liked "So, you go toilet also non of my business right". I was scared when I alighted because apparently this guy stay 2 streets away from me. To add on to my fear, my friend said "I think he's trying to hook you up". *tell me about goosebumps, I had like to show you how my hair stands yesterday* When we alight from the station, although I was so near to the escalator down the platform, I insisted to use the other side and waited for 5 mins upstairs. I don't want to meet him again at the exit. Mind was blank and first thing that comes to my mind was dad! Since dad is picking mum up after work, I decided to ring him and asked him to fetch me. Now I really know what looney is!! I totally understand how esther felt with that "claimed-to-be-superstar" guy! Arrgghh.

After dinner with my parents, when out for coffee with lian, hui, nes and licia. Long time never catch up le. so many complaints to hear from them. lolx. En came at 11, with he BIG CURRY PUFF hairdo. En, don't put too much ingredients inside next time k! hehe.

Went off to me Jas and Melis shortly for a movie. Our main intention was to catch Rumor Has It. But I don't know why GV arranged the slots such that 9pm was the last show. So, we didn't managed to watch that, and settled for The Pink Panther. Quite a nice show, humorous but stupid. The things he do just makes me wonder if such a person really exist in this world. Anyway, 3 star for it. Next week will be FD3 after Esther comes back from New York. Yeahhh! We are so looking forward to it.

Neoprints me, kel and esther took during our last meeting. Memories.... awww....

The Pink Panther kakis.

All-in-1

posted by tristan @ 2/18/2006 04:28:00 PM

pissed. so pissed. our guard duty have been swopped with another platoon. It is supposed to fall on next saturday (25/2) yet we got to do it tomorrow. i was sooo down on that day when I received the news.

Anyway, went to Zouk last night with my current platoon mates. And surprisingly Rostam and his gang was there as well. Its been like almost 2 years since I last club (I think close friends should know I don't club), well, and for not wanting to be a spoiler, no harm joining in the fun. Had fun, drank and got a bit too high that I need to be sent back. ( I had a mixture of Vodka with Coke & 7-Up before going in, Vodka Lime, Flaming Lambo and Bourbon Coke) Another friend is worse, I heard he slept inside the toilet and was discovered by another friend of mine. Dance and Dance until I was so shagged and legs started to give in. That's when I decided to stop and K.O.

Met Esther for breakfast this morning. I didn't get her any V'day gift neh. She got me a Green Tea chocolate from Japan and also a card which is really meaningful. Thanks alot my dearest friend. I'm sure 40 years later we will be like this.... no doubts or queries....

NOW

40 years later... we will still be visitng MacDonald on a lovely Saturday Morning. lolx

That's how strong our 10 years friendship and bonding is... and her birthday is coming neh.... I must start to crack my brain already. =)

Next, movies movies...

Quite a number of movies released this month and upcoming. I've already booked Es for Final Destination 3. Coz' I want to continue watching this episode like what we did 3 years ago.

And my favourite, most beautiful and gorgeous Jenn with Rumor Has It....

For sure I'm gonna catch it. Sometimes I'm just thinking why on earth would Brad Pitt give up on her and go for Ms Jolie.

And there you have it... the lovely Jennifer Aniston!

Alright, that all for the All-in-1 updates for this week. Gonna start packing my stuff for tomorrow.

posted by tristan @ 2/12/2006 05:44:00 PM

Here's some chinese new year photos taken at my place during reunion dinner:

Anyway, went over to kelly's place for Mahjong last night. Poor me and kel lost to the Eunos bitches. lolx. And... I was stranded to bed for the whole of today. Don't know what I ate last night, been running to toilet for 5 to 6 times since 5a.m. Then followed by fever again. Haix. Chinese New Year goodies ate too much already.

And Final Destination 3 is coming soon. Downloaded some clips and its awesome. Can't wait for it to be screen here.

That's all. take care people.

The Mazda MX-5

posted by tristan @ 2/10/2006 11:43:00 PM

Wow wow wow. Something I like about my current unit is that they're always having special functions or minor events which is an add-on to those boring practical and theoritical lessons.

There's happy hours for Permstaff today, and they were having some kind of road show in the workshop. You can really see different types of cars displayed neatly in there. Majority were modified ranging from Hyundai Getz (Red and Black series) to Subaru Impreza to Mits Lancer to Honda Integra with backseat and air-condition removed for ultimate racing performance. There's about 15 cars that belongs to different officers. However, the one and only car that catches my attention is the Mazda MX-5 that belongs to a Master Warrant Officer.

Talked about asethetic and design, this MX-5 have got what it takes. A combi of vintage and sporty convertible, its definitely my dream car. The only minus point, its a 2 seater, well, you know i'm always into family car like Honda Oddessy and Mits Grandis (My fave MPV). But seriously, in the short run (well, the short could possibly means 10 to 15 years) a Mits Colt will do just fine. Hahaha!

Too bad I missed the $10 million grand TOTO, else I could be one of the potential buyer stepping into Mazda showroom tomorrow. As if, dream on!

i had a bad day

posted by tristan @ 2/07/2006 07:40:00 PM

Everything just went so wrong for today. Its almost like a curse for my platoon. Even my instructor said "I think I woke up at the wrong side of the bed today"

1) I left my jockey cap at home today. I took it out to put my water bottle in and totally forgot about it. I was the only one in the morning parade without head dress. Its obvious and maybe going to sign extra. My instructor asked me to see him, well, I do see him everyday, just a matter of whether he remember or not. And i'm not going to do be a goody goody to remind him.

2) My buddy was booked and charged for speeding when turning into camp. STUPID. There's barriers in the camp, each ranging 10metres away, left and right. How can he ever speed man. The max he go is only 40kph. He ended up signing 1 extra, maybe increase to 3. Obviously, you know the feeling when the punishment is not justified?

3) My instructor's son (the one who asked me to see him to sign extra) was hospitalised. He left he settled all the necessary lesson plan for the day.

4) One of them forget to bring locker keys. Here in OETI, we keep our own set of key, unlike BMT, where buddies keep a set of ours. Thus if you lost it or forget to bring, you will have to break open the lock or get your kins to pass it to you. My friend did that.

Cursed!

Ashika, my secondary school classmate is going to Australia to further studies. She's leaving this thurs and I won't be able to make it on time to see her off. I used to disturb her alot during lesson time, because she just sit right in front of me. Poor victim! lolx. She might be staying there for good. Well, kind of sad, because its like another friend is leaving, but I wish her well & hope she'll have a great time in Aussie.

Still have a tinge of "swayness" revolving around me.

Jas 21st Birthday

posted by tristan @ 2/05/2006 11:15:00 PM

Its Jas 21st Birthday on 1st Feb. So we had a post-celeb at NYDC yesterday. Its been like almost 5 months or so since I last saw melis. She had slimmed down so much, because of her braces. Having braces is pretty "IN" these days don't you think so? Geee... that metallic smile. lolx. Ariel and Jas, haven't seen them for 3 months or so.... oh well. Ariel, with her new $277 hairdo at "Shinjimatsu" (correct spelling?). Something fresh. As usual, share with one another the latest happenings. After slacking at NYDC for 3 hours, head down to Cineleisure for a show. "I not stupid too" Very localise and its really funny - especially when the fat aunty use the bowl to draw her eye brown and the "lame" chop. lolx. Ok, here's some photos to share with you guys...

the naive past.

posted by tristan @ 2/04/2006 12:20:00 AM

Today we were released at 200pm as some of my platoon mates have to go to SAFTI MI for Dental Appointment. They were the candidate for overseas posting. Why am I not chosen? Because I didn't tick in the priority box and I find that the 1 year trip to the designated spot in Asia can be quite boring, and the minus point is away from home for a year with only a single home visit. So what if the pay is high... afterall, I don't wish to be away from my friends and family for such a long time, they will miss me you know. lolx.

Once I got home, watched the Taiwanese repeated telecast of Super Sunday. One of the section featured this Taiwanese well-known model who is searching for her long lost buddy whom last contacted 20 years ago. Sheez. that's freaking long. And she was describing her past and how strong the friendship were, to the extend of wanting to live side by side with one another.
This portion sure reminds me exactly 4 to 5 years ago, when my sec sch gang was still standing strong, our bond SEEMS to be unbreakable and when everyone thought we would stay in contact for another 10 to 20 years, we have this silly idea of buying an apartment. 11 of us will stay together, everyone will take turns to cook. Just imagine the havock we are gonna create. Our wish or dream is so naive, but it does bring back some of this silly memories. Looking back at it now, its something worth laughing at. How can it ever happen?

Met Kel and es for dinner. Been a long long long long long time since the last 3 of us hang out. Talked, laughed and gossiped on many things. Then, comes the idea of taking Neoprint together. You know that kind of strange feeling when taking this pictures? Its just something so close to our heart. Hopefully, will be able to get a new 3-in-1 printer soon. So i can scan and upload all these stickers we took during sec sch days.

Eyes closing.... Yawning.... cannot take it anymore. Its time for bed! Good Nite.
