great sculpts, fantastic paint works.

lately i've been able to sleep right through into the afternoons without being bothered by the morning glare because of the new curtains i've put up. i was explaining to the sales lady at ikea that i was looking for curtains tt cld shut out light completely unlike my previous ones and she mentioned 'black out' curtains and i knew at the sound of that t'was what i was looking for.

and i was right. superb.

-

my doctors appointment with regards to my knee didn't go too well. the memo to the camp's MO had got nothing abt patella chondromalacia which the last doctor had diagnosed during the last visit. along with the memo was a MRI report which showed everything to be normal. another review was scheduled in 3 mths time. they seem to have ran out of ideas while the problem remains evident only to me. truely fucked up.

-

so the go5 met up again last saturday going around home visiting. we lost track of time along the way and eventually gave the last stop a miss to meet up with the girls at holland v in the late evening. we proceeded to essential brews where we spend most of the night playing cards. towards the end i cldnt quite keep up and the late nights i've had were proving to be too much.

after walking out of the cafe half the group went off leaving just joce, cs, kw and i in the end to ponder our next move. we went over to my place first after i made a call to my dad to use the car just for a short drive out for supper. it was strange of him to agree so readily even when i told him we were making a trip to joce's place too.

the initial plan was to go for supper, make a trip to joce's place, and then head back for a swim at my place but after having seen a full house at the prata shop we brought supper to joce house instead after dropping my brother back home. we had some chat before leaving just before dawn broke and made it back after a drive on wondrously clear roads.

back at in my room i had to whip out that fuckin' deck of cards and suggest blackjack. i was on the losing end and what was meant to be the last round became the last 3 and then it could have gone on forever. i laid on the bed crying out loud in misery while they ignore me and the nonsense mantra i was chanting. i felt like dieing but the thing was i couldn't quite die.

in the afternoon after they left and a short nap i took, i began browsing through the downloaded contents of cs's hard drive and i came across 'the longest yard' which i had wanted to watched in the past. the film followed a somewhat predictable storyline but it was worth the watch still really.

my family and i went over to my uncle's place in the evening. after dinner my mum saw how lethargic i looked and we decided to make an early move. besides, cards later in the night would really have turned me off after my last tragic experience which left me most depressed.

i slept especially early that night.

monday morning came, i woke up feeling really concussed. dragged myself to the office.

poor godzilla.

wmp: good charlotte, my bloody valentine

the past weeks have been pretty un-eventful. t'was CS's birthday celebration at KW's place. i spend valentines night at home playing the sims 2; my 'fortress' is somewhat done but i seem to have lost the motivation to carry on now. t'was a was some sort of heritage tour organised in line with civil defense day where we went down to changi chapel/museum, clark quey and the supreme court. it was intersting on the whole.

apart from these days, life was as usual.

-

the mood for the chinese new year kicked started last friday during the celebrations down at plc. t'was a jog but i joined the walking group because of my bad knee. we watched 'remember the titans' back in the conference room. had lunch. and then i got the grand prize for the lucky draw suprisingly. so i brought quite a hefty hamper home. now i seriously needa lay off the 'ba gua's.

on the eve we went over to my cousin's new apartment. a very joyful gathering as always. we stayed up late playing cards, a tradition that will probably carry on for the generations to come. and then came the usual routines of visiting in the very hard morning. we went over to my paternal side in the late morning and it was nice to see my grandmother again and hear her hearty laughs.

our family came back again after an afternoon back at home. it was another one of those nights. i felt i could be dealt better cards. before we left, our aunt asked us to be back next evening and i guess she can be sure of that.

we bought supper on our way back after i drove my uncle home. until these few days, i never really had any sort of a talk with my nutty sister because of her late nights out. may this be a good turning point.

best wishes to all. have a great time with your loved ones and many blessings in the year of the pig! and more importantly... HUAT AH!

wmp: anberlin, the good drag

i was on the couch, nearing the bliss of being oblivious to everything around me but i never actually got to that part...

there were two of them. one sounded like he was gargling in his own spit. i gave up and thought if i eventually got tired it would stop bothering me. tt was when another guy came by, took an empty couch, and started snoring too.

i got up and walked away in disbelief.

i would have laughed all that off if i wasn't so deprived of sleep for the past weeks whilst still having to recover from a flu. the thing about people who snore in their sleep is that they all wake up to a common enemy - ME.

wmp: quietdrive, rise from the ashes

it was arranged that i started out with a 24 hr shift. the sleep i had was strictly polyphasic. lest they associate me with blatantly spewed word 'chao keng' again. it got too cold at a point of time and i had to walk out the building. in the stillness of a 4am morning it was very nostalgic just thinkin about the sispec days and maybe the ooc days in the afc.

i looked at how quiet the camp was and remember returning to such a scene after the navigation exercise back in sispec. tempers flared when the the bunch of us got lost in the fuckin wilderness. i was suprised how things didn't follow thru' when it was over. almost as if everyone woke up from a bad dream upon reaching company line and decided to forget abt it all together upon unspoken consensus. i guess i grew after the experience. and maybe the rest of them too. but life in the army seriously doesn't get any better when u're ooc in afc. little chores u've to attend to but on the whole, carefree is the word. i learnt quite alot about fitness when i was there. i got to see a different side of the instructors. and best of all i get to walk out of those fucking gates everyday...

i had thought i left such memories back but it was plc i was standing in after all. a place i spend those good 5 months in. while warming up outside i sat by a curb and lost conciousness before i knew it...

when the 24h was finally done with i got home and started editing the sing vs thai video from the first leg but decided to put it aside; it's taking too long and i can't seem to get the clips to flow seamlessly.

i watched singapore vs thailand. didn't quite see the equaliser coming; maybe it's just me, singapore players seem to be running in quicksand amongst the sleeker thais. but yea, they lifted the cup again.

i woke up to something rattling in my ear when i shook my head. switched on my computer and was looking for something to listen to until i remember jenrine sent me songs by quietdrive the night before(thanks).

so here i am.

over and out.
