yay~ i have been to liquid room. it's cool. as cool as lola i must say. now, it seems like theres no more places for me to visit. maybe it will really be the end of my clubbing spree.

i'm going to be commissioned tmr. yet some people still can't grow up and think like an adult. wtf.

The Officers' Creed

I am an officer of the Singapore Armed Forces
My duty is to lead, to excel and to overcome.

I lead my man by example.
I answer for the training morale and discipline.

I must excel in everything i do.

I serve with pride, honour and integrity.

I will overcome adversity with courage, fortitude and determination.

I dedicate my life to Singapore.

people i've met. this is how they react to certain situation.

win-win : "you gotta thank me for where you are today"
win-lose : "why should i be bothered to leave my comfort zone to help you?"
lose-win : "i don't care. i'm pulling you down with me."
lose-lose : "it's all your fault."

if you aren't willing to sacrifice, don't expect others to.

warehouse party. cool. paul van dyk. cool. now i'm still have yet to try house party (which i really want to try), beach party (which i wouldn't mind giving it up) and street party. i love the concept of warehouse party. just step into this ancient and gigantic building and party the night away. the old tainted windows makes you forget about everything and the high ceiling and ample space simply bring you to another land.

i hate to rush. when you are rushing for time, you tend to be short-tempered. you will end up shouting and slowing everything down. plan ahead. if not, be punished for not planning ahead. if you are cooperating with somebody, don't rush him, unless he's really doing it on purpose. don't rush others for your own convenience or you might just jolly well go ahead on your own.

women are interesting. a simple "you look fresh today" or "you smell great today" can make them smile all night. why not? why not let them smile the night through. it makes my night good too. friends are hard to come by. how many actually bother about me when i'm feeling real down? one? how many actually will just stay by my side without probbing into things i don't wish to say? one? geez.. i have only one dearest buddy and i do treat my buddy well.

i forget and forgive too easily. don't you dare take advantage of that.

does NS turn boys to men? yes they do. unless you are of those exceptional cases of clerical serviceman or some driver. if you are really combat, i have to agree it does turn you into man. you learn to think before you act, you learn to be independent and inter-dependent. on a more physical side, it will build your fitness as well. no doubt about that. as for blacked complaining about how her TY has been getting extra work back home to do, let's just face it. a soldier never have time of his own. his time belong to the country. maybe for his case, it's sort of a sad case. i will never complain if i have to complete my duty or to be put on stand-by during weekends or public holidays. NS is not work, neither is it just wasting time. maybe you gotta look from a government point of view. then again, something make me real sad. are we all just protecting the "Lee's assets"?

recently i'm just pissed at the way some of us are behaving. young people seem to have alot of ideas. it's good, but not too much please. it seems like sometimes we just want to speak our mind, or want things to go our ways. for example, a very simple instructions of changing into something neater and gather in a classroom need to be questioned. wtf? or a simple instruction from the top that we are to attend a meeting gotta be fully explained to them by someone who know nothing but received this urgent instruction. i/c is not meant to please everyone. he's just there to make sure everything flows. so please. don't question so much, or in fact, don't think that he's there to satisfy you.

i also notice that most of us seem to be more than willing to flaunt that minimal knowledge we have. for example, a simple question like "hey, have you watch 'the matrix'" will get you a lengthy response and review of the whole film. you might even be lucky to get some of the explanation of some of the scenes that the reviewer thought that you might not understand. how thoughtful. now you saved that movie ticket. what is wrong man?

and guess what? young people always complain but they never compliment. we always miss the good things about others. we never appreciate. to take this very example, my coursemates and i have this common enemy right now and today i just said "gotta admit he improved alot". guess what's the next response? "i thought you don't like him" oh my! grow up please. it's like two totally different thing on why i detest him and why i made that comment about him.

much said about young people i've met. or maybe it's those 'scholar' type of people as they are labelled in this country.

i miss training. i miss running long distances and intervals. i miss swimming training. how i miss all my training. i want to train but i gotta take care of my body for the parade. what more now i might be the colours party. one training is enough to make my body ache for days. geez. whoever wants the flag to be made so heavy. biathlon is at march. i'm going for it. anyone care to join? it's pretty boring to go alone. once this commissioning parade is over, i'm going to train double hard. this time round, it's not going to be for exposure. it's for personal pride, glory and the best i have.

i just want to know that i'm not left alone in this world. please don't desert me.

it's been a very long time since i took a stroll somewhere at night alone. it's relaxing but it's pretty depressing. i saw people from all walks of life. some enjoying their life away while others took on late night shift with heavy eyelids to earn that extra bit of money for survival. it's all about money in this world. we work so hard just for money. we cheat ourselves just for money. we can forget about anything else JUST for money. bleah!

i'm going to go suntanning today. all the parade rehearsals is making me look like a clown.

oh, btw, i stumble onto this website. it's pretty interesting and i was laughing away at some of the articles.
www.jackinworld.com (be advised. contains explicit material which some will not like.)

sometimes, you are just being jealous.

parade rehearsals have started. blisters are forming yet i enjoyed those rehearsal. pretty fun and relaxing. just do according to the command, and other than that, just dream and think about anything you want. a time to brush up on my discipline as well.
