Hello, long time no see people. Haha its been a while since I've been here, partly because I've totally forgotten about the existence of my blog until recently. I believed the last time I've been here was before my POP from Tekong. Its been about 1 month since I've left that "resort island" and to say the least, I think I'm really missing that place. The friends I got there were amazing, albeit retarded at times, but those were the fun times, the enjoyable ones that introduced me to the world of NS.

I have no idea how this will turn out, but I'm actually posting this with my new HTC Snap. The interface looks weird here but I'm hoping that it turns out well.

Edit: I've given up on using the Snap for blogging. Its retarded and the interface prevents me from typing anymore than like a 100 words or so. So guess I'm going back to normal typing.

Yesterday was the day I got my facebook account, after god knows how long of persuasion by everyone O.o. Guess the thing that's been stopping me from creating an account turns out to be some article I've read like ages ago. HAHA.

You know, I have a thing for hair and tops. When a friend in NS asked me about what kind of girl I'd like, I couldn't give him an answer straight away. The feeling's darn awkward, because I couldn't even name out a single criteria that really matters to me. After awhile, it struck me. I find that simply, a girl next door will do. HAHA okay I'm kidding. When a girl appears with like a fringe, tied hair and wears a T-shirt, I find that I'm more likely to glaze a look rather than some supposedly "well-dressed" girl in a gown or some dress with curvy hair. I don't know, guess it just comes to me that the norm is good enough for me. Anything more than that is rather over-dressed.

Bah back to where I was. I just finished changing the casing of my bro's CPU. It was freakish, because I spent like close to an hour figuring out why it didn't work. Turns out, I wasn't pressing the power button to boot it up, rather I've been trying to boot up the com with the reset key. Yes retarded it sounds, I actually did it. DAMN IT! HAHA

Oh well, now its time to help me mum with the things she's preparing for prayers.

Laters,
ken off.

lalala today's the 16th :)

Anyway, I just got my driving license last week, and I've been driving around for the last 2 weeks. I drove my parents to FairPrice @ J8, to Thomson Plaza and all other crappy places for their shopping needs. Actually, being a chauffeur is kidda fun, not too shabby at all. Maybe its just because I got my license and I'm eager to drive. Today I drove to J8 again and getting into the carpark is really really challenging, especially when you're jostling for parking lots and all those other crap. HAHA..

This week, I just completed my basic IFC and I think I really enjoyed it. Although it feels much more tiring than the PT sessions I've had before, the activities we're doing are much more fun, not just running about, but also about combat tactics. Really really interesting. I especially like to prone in the bushes, the grass beneath me feels a crap load like some cool carpet, feels so comfy. HAHA but then again, I'm not looking forward to field camp at all, nope.

Oh and Chelsea won again. DARN!

oh wells, time to prepare for book-in.

ken off.

Unknowingly, it has already been 2 months.

To my utter horror, I am still a zero fighter, and that's something that has to change.

Oh well, yesterday DianFeng, Eugene and I went over to Cine to watch Shutter Island. It is, probably, one of the best shows I've watched this year. As compared to "The Men Who Stared at Goats", this wins hands down. Pronto. At least it wasn't some show that ends with a huge boom. :)

Oh ya, and I had my Uni interview yesterday at SMU too, for Information Systems. I think I screwed that up, big time. My article about sexism in ICT is BADBADBAD. REAL BAD, and I thought I barely answered the question that was posted to me. My estimation question was awkwardly answered too. Oh well, lets just hope for the best then.

After my interview, I walked down to Cine from SMU. Needless to say, its hell of a walk. The distance wasn't much, but the crowd and rain that came along was horrendous. Half the time I was trying to squeeze through the crowded streets of Orchard on a Saturday afternoon while the other half of my time was spent avoiding the rain. GHEEZ.

Oh and next time when they say to meet at 5, be sure to arrive at 5.20, cos everyone's gonna be late. I had to kill time chatting on msn with my eBuddy at some corner of cine for about half an hour, until DianFeng decides to go to 313 to have dinner. While walking there, I met Clarissa and Alli at the traffic junction, and the first thing Alli had to do was to slap me on my back. -pity my sunburnt back-

I dragged them to Hot Tomato for dinner and hell was I right. The food there's pretty good and valued for money. The only complain I'd have is "WHY THE HECK DO YOU GUYS NOT PROVIDE ICED WATER!" We had to get drinks instead cos like all of us were dying of thirst. HAHA.

TADA, time to get back to preparing for book-in.

Toodoos.

ken off.

Wow, this is like the longest weekend I'll have throughout my life in Tekong. Good Friday is officially my favourite holiday. HAHA

Oh right, before I booked out, my sir told us that a few of us got remedial training on Saturday due to unsatisfactory performance. A few of my bunkmates got it and they were like emo-ing throughout the night. Guess that's not exactly the type of holiday anyone would've wanted. Booking out on Thursday night, book back in on Friday night, out on Saturday afternoon, and go back in on Sunday night. Sounds pretty bad to me.
But then, guess what? It was the 1st of April, and that's probably the worse joke your commanders will ever play on you. -puke-
Never in my life would I have expected that my commanders actually played such a joke on us, scared the crap out of my bunkmates I tell you. Gheez.

Yesterday, I went out with FB to supposedly catch the movie "Clash of the Titans". Well tickets were sold out, so we had to settle with "The Men Who Stared at Goats" or "Goats" for short.
The movie was, erm, hilarious at times, but I'll never even nominate it for the best storyline award anytime. The story? What story? After the movie, I was still clueless what's happening, but the jokes were really really good. Well, that makes up for it, I guess.

Today I went out for my driving lessons. Everything went well I guess, except when I was on my way back home on my dad's car, saw this interesting website URL pasted on the back on a cabbie. "www.CatchCheatingSpouse.com" Interesting........ No wonder marriages don't last, look who's breaking them! LOL

Oh well, haha my grandpa just got me apples :)

ken off.

Hello civilisation.

Its really been awhile since I've been up here. Well, much has happened. For one, Shabbies's already spent 1 month in NS, and I can't even feel it. Everyday's so hectic. Sometimes, if I don't do something like blogging, I think my brain's simply gonna rot away, with everything planned for you and there's not much to do on my part, its no wonder I'm feeling dumb.

Simply said, NS makes one dumb. Take this for example, when I was taking note one fine day during fitness lecture, I totally had no idea how to spell "nausea" and "dizzy". Amazing how that happened eh, it gets even weirder when I actually spelled "dizzy" as "dissy".

Intriguing.

Oh and I was reading through my past post. When you come to think about it, all those impulsive writing seems all too childish, foolish to a certain extent. And yet, at that time, Its simply all an avenue to throw things out of my mind. I mean seriously, it really looks dumb. O.o

The last few weekends out were all spent on university registration, too many things to prepare, to photocopy / print, to send. Together with my driving lessons, the weekends seem all too short. Deep down inside me, I wanna do something, there's this one thing deep down that has been surfacing up recently. Its like this creature lurking in my inner self, this thing down there. I've been trying to curb the desire to do so, simply thinking of the consequences stop me from doing so, yet. Oh well.

Oh well, back to university admissions. As I was saying, I've signed up for several Information and System courses out there, pretty interested in it. Oh and I've yet gotten my recommendation letter from ______ (to be decided) for my SUTD registration. Wonder how uni life will be like. Hmmmm

Back to work now,

Laters.

Ken off.

Harlo world.

I'm all hyped up for the my driving test tomorrow afternoon at 4.30. Its all come down to this then, 4 months of driving. Today's judgement day I guess. I think I've grown alot in my driving, From an utter noob that couldn't stop stalling the car to someone who (I think) have at least mastered the circuit course as well as driving outside with such confidence. HAHA.

I really enjoy driving on the road, it beats the circuit FLAT anytime man. The feeling of always having to change gears, cruising on empty roads (as compared to jamming at the crowded circuit) is just immense. Indescribable. Lets just hope that I can clear this final hurdle and officially become a driver :)

And NS is just around the corner. I'm feeling a tat queezy just thinking about the fact that I'll be going into NS and officially ending my time as a wanderer. On the flip side, I'm awfully looking forward to it, the new life I'm gonna have, there's simply to much to anticipate. Life's been all smooth-sailing for me (apart from the unexpected boot from RJ) but hey, NS's gonna be the deciding time of my life I think, the time that I will truly reflect on what Shabbies is all about for the past 18 years.

Needless to say, I'm partly scared of NS. The uncertainties it brings. The things people say that make it sound so horrid. The feeling of being a "lesser human" in the eyes of the officers there. Guess the only thing I can do now is experience it for myself.

Oh well, its time for me to do last minute revision and go to sleep.

Hi there world.

Recently nothing's been going well for me. At least in terms of my gadgets. Firstly, my phone broke down. The one that has been through so much with me in finally rested. After nearly 2 years of use and abuse, it finally couldn't stand the heat and gave up on me. No wonder kenneth took so long to get to me, my phone was rejecting all calls on its own. Oh well, the new phone I got isn't all that bad, I mean, what can you expect from an NS phone o.o. Feels awfully lot like the one I had before this W910i.

Then, my iPod Touch broke down. It happened while I was doing my routine system update with my Touch's firmware. Then all of a sudden, update fail! Boom! There goes everything. Lucky I managed to back it up before updating, so I'd guess I have to figure out a way to get it back up soon.

Actually I got my replacement already, just that I have to figure how to update it properly. Just completed my 1st attempt on the update and it failed again. Lucky the Touch didn't just all crash and just failed, its still "revivable" I guess.

Oh and eugene dragged me to the RenCi Hospice on Sat. Its not as bad as I thought it'll be. At least not all the people there are grumpy old dudes that hates humanity and all of sanity. Haha, oh and I met this very adorable granny there that can't seem to stop chatting. Maybe I could go again, just maybe. But then again, only if time permits of course.

Oh well, time for my late late lunch. Toodoos.
