victor yeoh's 21st

26 march 2011 Saturday. It was victor's 21st. Omg it was held at hardrock hotel presidential suite. The cost of it was a .... we had our dinner at din tai fong's baits intially. Was really full because i ate at home before i left for there therefore didnt really enjoy the meals there. hmm...a shot with weijun using my canon d500. omg we look like couple, aint we? i placed my cam on the table hence the angle focus was on our hands. artistic right?Coincidently that night was also 2011 Earth hour. Ard 830pm the restaraunt dimmed the night and litted candles on the customer's tables. And we made use of this and sang birthday song for Victor. How nice of us, some of the customers there applaused too! this is one of the photos from joven's canon d90

ok here comes the main course.

we stepped into the presidential suite, the first minute the first place wasnt the bedroom, kitchen or toilet, i ran to the balcony to check it out. a stunning view from the balcony. i immediately capture all the nice images, and just nice there were daily fireworks show from the universal studio at that time. the suite comes with a kitchen, 2 equally big bedrooms(1 for his relatives 1 for his friends;us, with really spacious toilet(3parts in it, 1 bathtub, 1 shower, 1 toiletbowl each with glass doors, television in it), 3 balcony.one of the bedroom, nice bed, furnishing etc...this shot consist his cousins, family and us.

played ''in between", omg most of us lost, and victor's siblings won it all. There was a round where the money was up to $300plus and victor's sister won it all in less than half an hour. Most of us (friends of victor) lost heavily. i lost $30plus i think it was still ok compared to the others contributing. hahaha anyway, it was fun. and most of us went home ard 6 in the morning. Happy 21st victor yeoh.

Time is ticking every second, your age increases.

Monday afternoon together with one of my good friend Weijun(lives same estate) at our playground chatting.
happen to bump into my neighbour boy who used to play soccer tgt at our neighbourhood park years back. A normal 10years old kid, who is now a grown up guy in JC year 2.

I look around. Those student who passby our playground going home from my secondary school. I dont regconise anyone. I still get to see some of my once-before juniors wearing the sec school uniforms when i was still in poly year 1 or 2. By now, even the upper sec student were strangers to me.

Actually i thought of all these way back when i was in my Poly days. I just want rant it out here, in words.
Friends (female) who went to JC after secondary school, YEAR 3 in UNI.
Me? Seconday 4years then Poly and now serving year 1 of NS.
Friends (male) who went to JC after sec, COMPLETED NS, YEAR 1 in UNI.
I am considered the normal pace. Yet i still think, i should have study harder in 'O's and got into a JC.
ok got to admit there are some others who study 5years in secondary, poly and now NS. And i seen even powerful people, 5 years secondary, ITE 2years then Poly 3years then NS who is 1988 or 1989.
Everyone started the same, but as time goes by, everyone start to go to their own path. Slowly this differentiate one another.
Like the title of this post, getting old. Time waits no men. Afterall, i got my plans long ago. So im still ok.

喝酒的伴 一起看電影的伴
早午晚餐的那個伴
朋友不能留得太晚
明天要上班 唱K的伴
一起去旅行的伴
聽懂我的笑話的伴
我的生活 只差那個人就美滿

快樂剩一人分享 快樂就只剩一半
喝一碗湯
心怎麼都不夠暖
這張被單 這張睡床
再舒服都覺得太寬

沒人分享 幸福就只剩一半
就算把日子填滿
節目卻提醒我孤單

沒有想法 有想法又能怎樣
只能寫部落格整晚
幾個留言安慰不了 心裡的遺憾
沒有負擔 原來也是種負擔
自由多得讓人心慌
你羨慕我 那要不要跟我交換

快樂剩一人分享 快樂就只剩一半
喝一碗湯
心怎麼都不夠暖
這張被單 這張睡床
再舒服都覺得太寬
沒人分享 幸福就只剩一半
就算把日子填滿
別來提醒 我的孤單

快樂剩一人分享 快樂就只剩一半
喝一碗湯
心怎麼都不夠暖
這張被單 這張睡床
再舒服都覺得太寬

who loves army infantry life?

28km road march right before our parade in specialist cadet school.
Over at kranji war memorial. We had a parade at the memorial to pay tribute to those who fought and died during the japanese occupation, that place were the first area where the Japs invaded us during WW2.
After the parade, everything on, our 28km journey started ard 7pm. The black line which i drawn was the route we walked. Holy shit, the first half was still tolerable as it was along kranji damp, sungei kadut industrial areas where we walk on normal civilian roads.
The mixture feeling of anger, impatience, exhaustion all came when we enter the forest. (green part of the map) roads were uneven, even with our boots on, long hours of walking and heavy loads, i can feel my sole seriously painful. I asked my mates ard me, everyone experiencing the same thing. Everyone grumbling and scolding the oganisation. The ground of big cement-like rocks (not like those small stones we can see in our neighbourhood parks for elderly to do foot therapy)
As you can see, the 'last quarter' of the route was a thin man-made coastal path. Our last rest point was at the 'island' between the two tiny lines. I remembered i was tired enough, i did not refill my water even though i have finished my 4litres water on me.
Our end point was right at tuas checkpoint, while walking on the narrow coastal path, we could see the lampposts of malaysia 2nd link and lights from tuas checkpoint.

But the feeling was really shit, i am not exaggerating. I know my steps are not stopping, we have been walking hours and it seems like we couldnt reach our end point. 3am 4am and it seems like we are stationary and the endpoint is always away from us.

Finally the shit was over, time was near to 5am wednesday dawn when we reached tuas checkpoint. Buses brought us back to pasir laba camp and had our ceremony parade at 8am, had lunch and got our posting.

Thank god, i am posted to somewhere which many envy. Airforce as a air crew specialist. Near to 1200 sergeants, about 50 out of 1200 was posted to airforce, and among them only 6 were aircrew specialist. 2mths of BMT enhanced batch in tekong was hell everyday, then much slacker in scs for 2months.
No more camou on face for days, digging holes in forest, lying on the muddy shit soil whereby you shine ur torchlight and you see insects crawling around, rainy days in forest making whole body shivering, charging into thick vegetation with insufficient rest, midnight 2 3 4 5 6am not sleeping but to prone in total darkness guarding trees. Days without bathing, great smell and mud all over you. Too many shits to list out.

4months served, 1 year 6months more. Goodbye army infantry life, im out.
