Last day of MC huh...

NOT! My MC was extended till september 20th with another follow-up to that nasty wound. All this without me asking for MC extension 'cept for showing my doctor the wound.


Sunday was great, gang met up for dinner at East Coast Park courtesy of Benjamin who started the ball rolling, I guess I was really angry and at the same time anxious, so I kinda did the follow-up...Heehee. Seems the normal kind but ya it's been a while huh( Back in the Non-Army days. It was weekly. Now Almost once every blue Moon). And I only just found out not long that nigel only contributed $2 to the wholemeal. The 2 3SG(NS) meaning ORDing soon plus a CPL-to-be and another LCP were all wondering just how the hell does an Officer-to-be has got no money liao. Well, he paid for comms ball, that was the reason.


We had a short round of mahjong at Nigel's place, Boon me and Ben with Nicole joining us. This short round cost Nicole nearly $11 though. Haha. But well, who knows what will happen because Mahjong is per se to playing football where the ball is round and anything can happen.


Too bad, Nigel had to book in on a sunday.. Aww man... Hopefully he will have a better life after commisioning.


By the way, I have completed my LOST season 1. My my, applauses to JJ Abrams for coming up with such an amazing show! I now can't wait till September 21st(Wednesdays) where Season 2 will premiere in the U.S.A. Other upcoming things to look out for would be The O.C. on September 8(Thursdays), Charmed and Desperate Housewives on September 25(Sundays), Smallville on September 29(Thursdays). Please oh please, I really hope somebody in US read this and seed this programmes as soon as they are out! I shall say thank you first for the time being...

I GIVE UP

Yes. I think I have enough of organising any gathering or whatsoever.
In case any of you notice, I have slowly stepped away from organising things lest it will give me a high blood pressure. So today I tried kinda "step" into organising out of a normal chat with somebody. At first response was good, I couldn't believe it. All were in for it or rather after persuasion from me for some...


I informed them the time where we will begin... but no... When the ball started rolling... GONE... Suddenly so many cannot make it.! WHY! I would like to ask! Why do people give other people false hopes? I hate giving people false hopes. If you know me I try not confirm unless I am absolutely sure. Yes, I know that kind of answer bugs other people too. But hey, I totally understand how organisers feel, so when I see somebody making an effot, and if I can make it, I will definitely make a promise!


Until something miraculously make me change my mind, I give up.

p.s : I shall continue my LOST marathon which I have been watching for these few weeks. Gonna reach the season finale soon!

What I have been doing...

Apart from sleeping around 2am+ and waking up at about 12pm daily, thus having "wasted" half the day. My other normal routines was to have a good bath and then head to the nearby polyclinic for a change on my dressing for the open wound at my groin area. # for those who have perverted mind and have been asking how my brother is doing? Don't worry! The family jewels are still working fine! # Anyhow, by the time I get home from the polyclinic, it would have been about 2pm+, more time wasted on a totally unproductive working day. It is only after 5pm then if I have any program, I would head out but last week only spent one of the evenings out watching Bewitched courtesy of the Free Tix! Oh by the way, I did informed my supervisor that I would go out after office hours. Hey! It is polite and I think it is crazy if the SAF think I can due to MC for 3 weeks stay at home alll 3 weeks. What will I become? A hermit? Hello I only got a sister living with me who is working by the way. What am I gonna eat?


Went to Maxim party at ROUGUE on friday. I must say rougue kinda suck. Very small, I bet expensive, don't seem happening enough. # dun take me seriously cos for those who knows me, I don't club # But well, it's free courtesy of
Gen's connections! Hot girls dancing in skimpy clothings and free Bourbon Coke. Not that I drink but well it's free! Met a friend of a friend there whom I have in my MSN, she is a model & advertisor for Citizen watches... Hmm... gotta find out more when I can. Took *some* pictures but it is quite unclear. The main aim of the pictures however is to spike the rest of the guys that Gen kindly asked especially Mr. Anand who kept saying he is coming and then not and then coming and then NOT!

Enjoy or rather drool please guys!~*

p.s : Nicole Kidman's is awesome in Bewitched! And I think Tom Cruise is stupid to divorce her! Nicole Kidman really getting prettier nowadays and seems to totally devote herself in acting with so much shows of hers since her divorce. Anyhow, Bewitched got 3.5 out of 5 witches!

Another Day at home...

I watched Mindhunters and The Interpreter at home today.
Otherwise I spent the day at home nuaing...


Found something inside my letterbox though...


Charlie & The Cocoa Factory! YES! Even though I watched it, I think it deserve a second watch but was unwilling to spent money. FREE NOW!

Bewitched! A pity it can be watch from 18 Aug onwards! Note to self* I must refrain from spending money to watch the show before 18 Aug. Argh... 7 days to go...

p.s : Charlie & The Cocoa Factory. Deserves 4 out of 5 chocolates! Frankly speaking I have never read this Roald Dahl's classic before. Was told the ending for this movie version was changed and that there wasn't a Wilbur Wonka in the book as well but I must say, Tim Burton really did blend it really well!

Back from op

Firstly let me thank the people who has been smsing me about my op and my well being...
Pleased to tell you guys the operation was a success.


No i did not get to see any hot trainee doctors but 1 occupational therapist is quite pleasant looking!


Was sent into the operating theatre at around 12pm and was told to make a decision by my anasthetics whether I want to "sleep" through it or have my lower body numbed? He told me the pros and cons for each and I finally made a decision on the sleeping...


I was really wondering how I am suppose to fall asleep, but once I was transfer to the operating table, an oxygen mask was put onto my mouth and I was told to breathe in deeply 10 times. I counted 9 times and I could not remember anything... Next thing I know, I awake coughing and shouting in pain. The cough was natural as it was what the cons of having an oxygen pipe at my throat. The pain was quite unbearable about a 7 out of a scale of 10... The doc gave me some painkillers and I soon fell asleep again...


Was pushed back to my ward around 5pm and had dinner which I promptly vomitted out. It was my sister's ribena that gave me some energy.


I was told I could be discharged this morning although I am walking quite awkwardly... MC was going to be till 26th Aug. And voila, I'm home!

p.s : Thanks to my friends from air force school who came and visited me after dismounting from duty!

Deja Vu

2 weeks ago, I came home and about this time I blog about going to be admitted for my operation... operation was postponed and now it's back again, I'll be admitting into the hospital later today...


It was relaxing to hear it was postponed when I was at the operating room. But now, fear has grip me again... My mind has been filled with all sorts of gruesome scenes of operating rooms from movies/dramas since Monday. Damm. I really feel I am never going to be prepared for this...


Anyone with past experience care to consul me?

p.s: Stealth barely made it at 2.6 out of 5 planes, Well it ain't no prime number. But hey I really like the way they used prime number to tackle girls haha!

About

My Photo
Name:
Location: Singapore

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
