累...

it all started with mambo. i havent had a good rest since last wednesday.

almost everyday, i had friends to meet up. popular? ha... i'm doubtful. i'm starting to see the effects of our age on our lifestyles. more and more of our friends are working (including ns), friends gatherings are more restricted to weekends and public holidays. it's a change we have to adapt. it cant be helped.

圣诞佳季

it was great catching up with old friends and mates over the christmas.

虽一年不见，话题还是没少。大家还是老样子。

the times would have been better if i'm not feeling so sick. itchy eyes, runny nose plus sore throat - the best combination to spoil any day.

rain rain

i like rainy days. it's cooling and refreshing. or maybe bcos i haven seen rain for ages.

my nose feels good.

some things never change...

it has been a year... a lot of things still hasnt change.

my nose to start with. it is still as sensitive and sneezy as before. once something trigger off the first sneeze, 便一发不可收拾. it's gonna take some time for it to get use...

what makes a singaporean singpaporean? the unique accent we have sure differentiate us from any other ppl. i was doing some shopping in Sydney last tuesday and i could easily spot a mother and daughter conversing with the distinct accent. furthermore, they were doing something that most singaporean does best: comparing price tags and comparing the size (to see which one bigger and more 划算)!!! i tried not to laugh... but i was sure the son standing nearby heard my giggle.

there was a nike sale last friday at expo. i was there at 1130, half hour later than the agreed meeting time, but guess what, i wasnt the latest. jicong and weiliang came 15-30 min later. wth. anyway, the point is although i was half hour earlier than the start of the sale and this is what i saw:


this was only part of the queue cuz my camera not so long right. but i was convinced this is still one of singaporean favourite pastime.

disgusted with the queue, we left.

back in singapore!

maybe jicong is right: my laptop is too used to cable connection and it's now rejecting 36Kbps.

i was experiencing a lot of problems trying to get online at home with my poor 56k modem. msn was running fine; i was simply unable to access any websites.

after hours of unsuccessful attempts, i ended in the library yesterday using its multimedia facility for the first time. it wasnt great... slow and buggy. argh... i'm too used to my own laptop.

i'm backed in the library today, with my laptop this time, hoping to be surprised. i've heard about free wireless network in certain region of the island. i thought the library will be a good place to start... and i was right.

the speed is superb! pls tell me that this is free... i've been spending the past few hours here.

happening 3 weeks

the first week was none other than my 'favourite pastime' - chiong sua. well strictly speaking, it wasnt really chiong sua. although i was in cams carrying field pack and webbing, it was non-tactical... more like SIT-test without weapons (but it was still very shiong). anyway, it was up in a mountainous region known as Wee Jasper which was once a green and beautiful country side, until drought hit the place few years ago. lakes and rivers were dried by the scorching sun. all that is left in the place are dying sheeps and cows fighting with swarms of grasshoppers over what is left in the pasture. poor thing...

my second week was spend in HMAS Albatross where i had lectures on morality, leadership, wholeness, etc with the 3 chaplains from the academy. interesting week it was.

last week was quite cho bo. all i did was finalising my flight details and a little bit of sports. the remaining time was spent on smallville. i started season 1 three weeks ago and now i'm already at season 5! not long to go before i start on 6.

my room is in a big mess now as i have to pack my stuffs and be ready to move into a new building. i remember coming to autralia 2.5 yrs ago with only two luaggage. i've just finish packing 6 boxes and my room is only half empty!

it's okaley time!

i'm getting oaklified... head to toe. i'm not rich; they are cheap.

** shock
** surprise

the results in red and green should have switched. i was pretty sure i did better in the red ones and should have deserve HD for them. but well, i receive unexpected HD from the other two... so i suppose i can say that they have make up the loses. wouldnt it be nice if there wasnt any shock at all... ha.

i'll get more in this space when i have the time... need to sort a lot of crap out now.
