A brand new year means a brand new beginning..... As the year of 2004 draws to a close, it also puts an end to another roller-coaster ride.... Before one has time to rest, another roller-coaster ride is about to begin... Much expectations for the new year to come, much things needed to be done..... Yet this entry isn't about what is to come but a tribute to the ups and downs of the year 2004.....
Ups: Well, its natural that people tend to remember the more unfortunate things rather than the happy things which is very true to a certain extent..... But some happy memories stick with people for life.... One such scenario was the chinese new year when the councilors came over to my house to visit.... We had lots of fun and laughter and the one thing i could never forget was the prank which all you bad guys pulled on me.... The banluck affair.... How could you guys trick me.... Heeeheheheh.... Well for the fun of it huh.... Another up would be the two council bbqs we had.... One in school after the funfair and the other when the londoners were back... Bbqs with the councilors always made me happy since it always brought back the good old memories with them......
Downs: First one or rather complaint would be the lousy, eventless and boring birthday i had this year...... Next would be my F-ed up camp and my f-ed up campmates.... Lastly would be my mixed up and bottled up feelings for her....... Sigh........ Its good not to talk too much about the bad stuff isn't it??? If not you can't stop talking........
A toast to all these memories in 2004, though gone but not forgotten..... 2005 arrives shortly and a brave new world to come.... SMU (and lots and lots of cute and beautiful babes) here I COME!!!!!!!

Tales sitting on the taxi:
Its pretty AMAZING to sit on a cab and listen to the stories the old but wise and sometimes gossipy man has to say...... In fact, I'm pretty interested in compiling a collection of interesting rides on the cab.
Ride No.1 :
This happened on my way from Pasir Ris to Parkway..... I hopped on to a TRANSTAXI cab (the red one) and was listening about the news reports on the radio. Hearing all those homeless souls made me give out a sigh which sparked off an interesting conversation with the taxi driver. He seemed pretty sympathetic to the victims of the tsunamis and keep telling me how poor thing these victims were.... Then he when on to talk about the relief aid sent over. He was pretty sceptical about how much of help we sent would actually reach the victims due to the fact that the corrupted officals would have probably kept a certain amounts for their personal use. To him, he seemed to condemn the Western countries, clearly complaining about how silent the countries kept and how little help they gave to the affected countries of the earthquake. Furthermore, he claimed that " BIG BROTHERS" of the west always liked to sit and reap the benefits while we asians slogged hard......... The whole conversation went on and on sounds pretty boring rite??? Well.... Maybe i Ain't a good narator....
Ride No.2:
This happened when i took a cab from Parkway back home... By now you guys must be thinking wat the F?!?!?! How come I so rich rite??? Anyway I hopped on a comfort cab.... The driver started talking out of the blue from the moment I got on the cab... He was complaining wat a bad day he was having, with all the lousy passengers he had been getting. He was telling me about the chinese nationals he had picked up accused him of going a huge round when the truth was that it was a one way street.... Then he went on to condemn those chinese nationals... I then went on to talk about my lousy day to him which ended up in him talking about the government.... According to him, the government keeps cheatin us of our money... For example, the recent Singapore Idol targeted the young and unknowing youths who voted furiously for their favourite idols.. According to him, from it alone the government earned several million dollars from it.... Next, he talked about how "CHIOW" the government was during the elections stating a clear example of the booking of election headquarters or speaker corners during the election times..... Apparently, he had fetched Ch**m See T**g's fellow people before and he was saying that during the elections they had to book speakers corners. So it happened that this fella was first in the queue wanted this particular spot. But it was booked which made no sense coz it was the first day and he was first in queue so how could it have been booked?!?! He went on to inquire who had booked the spot which was needless to say lah.......... Then he went on to talk about interests which he clearly CONDEMNED......

Tales from camp:
Why do I always get a lot of crappy and shitty stuff I don't get it.... Well, the old birds and the new guys have an invisible barrier between both factions and I'm not that close to the old birds.... It kinda sucks being in the middle and left to fend for yourself. Imagine no one to look out for you back....
E.g. 1 - This happened just today.
Me: Eh Lim (another old bird whom I'm not on very good terms.) Is there any rollcall today????
Cpl Lim: I don't know leh... I'm not sure.....
Me: Orh ok......
Little did I know that I was the duty corporal for the day and I was the one to be conducting rollcall..... He could have told me that I was the duty corporal for the day but NOOOOO!!! Selfish and as a bastard he was, he shut his mouth up.... As a result, I got a little screwing session from my sgt......
E.g. 2 -
I noticed something wrong with the schedule and I decided to tell the sgt about it and give welfare to some of the guys. But then NOOOO!!!! Some god damn stupid fucker thinks I'm poking my nose into his business since he is in charge of that bunch of ppl...... I mean wat the f man..... Its just a little welfare what?? So I'm poking in your business??? In the end, the schedule is changed four times lor.... Making things more complicated than ever.....
E.g. 3 -
Two bloody new birds decide to take leave for the day. As a result, I have to come back to do duty. What's irritating is one of them took leave because he didn't want to cover the duty for the other new bird. Another reason was that he could obtain a 6 day break by doing so..... At the same time, there was supposed to be a old bird covering for the shift who happen to take leave as well.... In the end, the arrow was pointed at me.......
The politics in camp are utterly disgusting. There's this old bird whose freaking sly and cunning. He purposely gets close to the new guys and tries to befriend them. His real intention is actually to convince the crowd in his favour of things. Occasionally when he has to cover duty and stuff, he whines for half the day and makes it seem as if the whole world owes him something. But actually the other old birds have been covering just as much or have suffered just as much. Recently the f-er almost sabotaged me into prowling duties. On the other hand. there's another equally scheming new bird. When you tell him to do something, he just pushes the arrow in another's direction. The best part is that he makes it seem as if he's done a lot when he's done nothing and pushes others to do the job for him just because he doesn't want to do it. If you force it upon him to carry out the task, he will initially question and then give a smile and carry out the orders. Little do people know that he backstabs and complains behind other peoples' back. In fact, he's like acting as a leader amongst the new guys telling them what to do and teaching them how to plan for themselves. Sigh..... the horrible tales of my camp..... ORD ORD ORD ORD ORD..........

Tales from Shopping:
You would really never get anything done if you keep planning and not take any action. That's why I dragged my feet down to peninsular plaza today to buy and check out stuff. Apparently, the shop was closed by the time i reached hence it was a rather fruitless trip, I thought to myself. Determined not to make this trip a wasted one, I decided to walk around the plaza checking out the shops and stuff they sell. To my surprise, I found a lot of interesting items which no one thought could be sold there..... Below is a list of what i found at the various shopping plazas I visited:
Peninsular Plaza:
This places has a lot of thais and foreigners around. The main attraction is all the travel agencies which books tickets for the foreigners at cheap and affordable prices back home. Apart from travel agencies, there's also shops selling thai stuff like their traditional clothes, groceries, religious stuff and even a thai eatery. Moreover there's this famous shop that sells climbing equipment here which a lot of ppl seem to know about it which i do not know why... hmm wonder whats the attraction here....
Peninsular Shopping Plaza:
Its located directly opposite peninsular plaza. Mind you its a completely different place as the one above. Yes, I haven't got the places and names mixed up. Its something like a mini queensway. There's quite a few shops selling sports shoes and equipment. There's also shops selling funky and hip-hop clothing located at the basement. I wonder if they're cheap and the prices can be negoiated. All hard rock band wannabes look out!!! There's at least three shops selling hard rock stuff such as chains, chokers, badges and belts. An addition to that, there's places where bands can jam and play their songs. Cool huh?!? One more thing worth mentioning is the shop that sells western goods. Yes, COWBOY Style from boots to hats you've name it you got it man.......
Excelicor Plaza (If i remember properly):
Its a pretty small shopping center beside Peninsular shopping Plaza. The basement is worth looking out for. That's where all model kit makers gather and purchase their stuff. The models that are made here are mostly human models suchs as comic and anime characters. There's very little robots or otherwise known as mecha models. The upper levels consist of indian recording companies. I could see people in the rooms playing traditional tamil music using the tabala (not sure of the spelling... correct me if i'm wrong). At the top level, there's a korean restaurant and a chinese restaurant. Apparently there's a buffet for the chinese restaurant for both dim sum and dinner. Wonder if its any nice... YUMMY!!! And there's CLUBS at the top level as in nightclubs which is pretty interesting.... Was pretty tempted to go find out how its like in these places whahahahahah........
Adephi Center:
This place has become another Sim Lim and Funan Centre. It sells bascially a lot of video hardware. For e.g. tvs, hi-fis, surround-systems etc. No computers though.
Sunshine Plaza:
This is the other place model makers should look out for. It sells lots of mecha models. Certain shops also sell car, tank and battle models which are pretty rare in singapore. Moreover, there's the Anime House!!!! For all anime goers, please look out for this place. Sells lots of anime series which are not found in singapore. In fact, its one of the few remaining shops that sell anime in singapore already. Apart from that, they also sell anime accessories and posters.
Bugis Street:
My final and last stop. Its like a pasar malam. There's pretty much stuff being sold mostly hip and trendy stuff. In fact, its like a cheap warehouse of hip and trendy clothes and accessories. If you ever visit this place, do tell me man coz i also wanna shop hehehe..... Actually my real intention is to see the chio shop owner that sells women's accessories such as bracelets and necklaces. She's pretty and very bubbly and sweet and cute........ Arrrrgggghhhhhh..... Not to mention she has a pretty good fashion taste too hehehhehehe...........
If you guys are wondering, yes I walked from peninsular plaza all the way to sunshine plaza which is located opposite parklane shopping centre (selegie road) and then to bugis street. Took me about 4 hours to finish everything man.... Actually quite a no of shops were closed by the time i reached coz it was a sunday and i guess not many ppl frequent this places. So no point in closing late right? I realised actually shopping can be pretty fun going to these kind of places not to mention adventurous coz you may find many interesting things. In fact, an appeal to the gals out there...... BRING ME OUT SHOPPING IN FUTURE!!!! Ahahahahah afterall can lose weight and look at stuff..... pretty fun thing to do especially when you're bored. Afterall can window shop too.... In fact, I'm calling out to all guys to shop and explore places you've never been b4. You never know what you might find at the place nearby. Do give it a try!!!

In fact, an appeal to the gals out there...... BRING ME OUT SHOPPING IN FUTURE!!!! Ahahahahah afterall can lose weight and look at stuff..... pretty fun thing to do especially when you're bored. Afterall can window shop too.... In fact, I'm calling out to all guys to shop and explore places you've never been b4. You never know what you might find at the place nearby. Do give it a try!!!

My life:
Its really sucky to feel alone all the time. Ever since from young I was always the outcast, the extra one. Little did that change when i entered primary school. My classmates always bullied me and picked on me. Even when I tried my best at everything, it just seemed that it was enough for them. Could clearly remember once when somebody place another students bag in the toilet. In the end, I was to take the blame and endure the humuliation of being framed. Not to mention 10 strokes of the cane on my hand. To think that the situation would change with a transfer of primary school was a mistake. In fact, since i was the new student, they would always pick on me, taunt at me and make fun of me. I had always liked to say the word "shit" which my teacher thought it was a bad word. So she forbid me from saying it by punishing me to write lines. In the end, I had to replace "shit" with "sharks". That was of no use as my classmate practically "sabohed" me and telling the teacher I said shit. As a result, I had to write one thousand lines of " I will not say the word shit in class". It just felt so lonesome with no one to hang out with often.
Secondary school was worst, I grew more naive and fiery-tempered. Gone were the days where I used to keep my temper and cool. Instead, my fists spoke with rage and fury. I kinda decided to be more defensive over myself and ended up with fights here and there. Journeys to school and back were tiring, and studies was no better. Thankfully, I had a good friend whom accompanied me till sec 2. That was when we lost contact as each of us went our different ways. Sec 3 and 4 was pretty horrifying. It gave me a prelude to wat its was to be like in the real world. Everyone was so competitive and they always gave lies and whined non-stop about tests. In the end, I was the one with the lousy grades and they were the ones with the good ones. IT kinda sucked. Projects were always done by me alone even in group projects. Which never taught me anything but sharpened my presentation skills.
Maybe it was because of this childhood of mine which made me the way I am. My character, my temper, my attitude. As a result, I became a lone ranger. Used to being alone in everything. I was the only one who transferred into a new primary school with no friends at all. I was the only one from my primary school that went to Chinese High. I was the only one from my class that went from Chinese High to VJC. And I was the only one who entered Dog unit. Its a simple story wherever I went I had to make new friends and adapt in a new environment always. It never stopped. Life and people kept changing and changing which made me feel so helpless and lonesome sometimes. I mean at least other people had friends from their primary school and secondary school who entered the same school with them. I only had accuqaintances. Maybe that's why I want my journey of lonesome to come to an end so much. Hey life still goes on..... Life is like a boat out at sea........
