2day woke up early n went 2 hav breakfast wif whole family coz my bro managed 2 book out last nite. Anw tis wk i started savin some of my pocket money n the progress was nt bad. So 2day budget again n decided 2 take 961 frm wdl 2 kallang coz i will b meetin gk there 2 go nat stad gym. Wah the bus ride super long sia, abt 2 hr frm wdl 2 bukit timah 2 queensway 2 chinatown den 2 kallang lar. Sit until i kah cheng pik sia wan 2 slp oso cannot slp.

Luckily tat gk quite smart go kallang mac hav breakfast n mug 1st. Ha by the time i reached kallang i was late like 4 abt 1 hr plus liao. If i nvr tell tat gk i was goin 2 b so late, i tik i will realli kena kan by him like hell like how he did 2 his sjab cadets. 2day we did SOC again in order 2 get 2 tat gym. 2day sat the gym confirm quite crowded 1. Howeva, when we reached there no veri jialat lar n we happened 2 c Peter Leow, our sch gym instructor oso there s a personal trainer wif his "student". Ha he nt dao got come n chat wif us oso. Wah due 2 past few days got gym n help out wif the green club stuff, my arm, pectoral n back still achin. Thus when doin workout, can realli find the strain on my muscles. 2day durin gym oso realised tat alot of pple tat hired personal instructor s act those rich tai tai type of pple coz 2day c quite a few veri gd egs in the gym.

After gym went boon keng mkt 4 lunch den go visit gan hse den go kallang mac 2 mug 4 a while. After tat, made my way 2 CCK 2 meet up wif animal gang n soccer gang pple 4 bbq 2 mark the end of our prelim. 2day fav, zhiyuan, kai, mark, zhenhong, shuheng, hongyun,sj, kc n kel turned up xcept 4 wy. Tik he got gf liao yao yang ta so bobian muz work on every wkend lor. 2day bbq food nt bad got quite alot of hotdogs, crabsticks, chicken drumlets, squid, stingray, drinks, marshmallows n alot of clams. All the food is veri tasty lar all thx 2 zhiyuan mum who took the trouble 2 prepare 4 us. Anw oso got 2 thx all who went 2 buy the food.

@ 1st when i looked @ the clams, i tot they were boilin water den pour the boiled water on top of it 2 half cook it. But i was wrong lar they put the clams on2 aluminium foils n bbq wif butter. It tastes veri gd n i wld suggest those tat dun dare 2 eat clams 2 try tis style of cookin coz the clams will nt hav ani foul odour when they r fully cooked. 2day we all oso discover a new talent who is zhiyuan. Wah he realli super zai in blowin the burn charcoal 2 make it burn more intensely. Wif him arnd no need 2 fan the charcoals 2 make them burn more intensely liao. Ha 2day nt bad finally learn how 2 play bridge abit liao @ the xpense of sabohin my partner lar. 2pid KC told mi a girl walkin a dog quite chio while i was holdin a plate of cooked drumlet. Ha a chio ger is always worth a look. Due 2 my curiosity i turned n looked n the bloody drumlet drop on the floor. Wah super wasted lar n the worst thing is when the ger walked near us bloody sh say i look @ her den drumlet drop on floor. Wah made mi super pai sei n i can realli dig a hole n hide inside lar.

After 3 hrs of bbq, i brought sj 2 watch soccer match n he cld oso get his physics notes frm mi s well while the rest went sh hse 2 watch soccer. Wah tat sj super zai after eatin so much so fast den output liao. Stepped in2 my hse 1st thing is go 2 the toilet n pang sai. After we watched the man utd vs blackburn match. Wah in the end total shock sia coz blackburn won man utd despite the match was played @ old trafford. Yawn time 2 stop n slp liao!

On tues, wake up quite early 2 hav breakfast wif parents b4 they went 2 work n i went 2 kallang 2 meet up wif gk 2 go national stadium gym. Tat gk damn pro tik we went army led mi 2 some sort of SOC b4 reached national stadium. He realli lawless jay-walk across nicoll highway. Den made mi climb those green fence despite i wearin jeans. Last time, i climb the fence n ended up tearin my shorts luckily no zao geng. But tis time more heng managed 2 climb the fence unscathed.

Wah the gym there realli veri big n i tik tis is the best public gym in s'pore liao. After visitin yck, cck, gombak, wdl n jurong gym, tis gym got all sorts of machines tat those gyms offer lar plus there is even a rock climbin wall inside the gym. After an hr of intensive workout, we made our way back 2 kallang mrt without doin another rnd of SOC n den i took train 2 bugis while tat gk went orchard lib 2 look 4 fren. When i reached bugis it was quite early so i go jalan jalan n decided 2 hav a look @ my ex-workplace. The giordano changed quite alot liao after renovation n the male n female sections all shifted here n there. Staff oso all change liao xcept 4 1. But i doubt she recognise mi ba coz i left the outlet durin her 1st wk. Tis place reminded mi of aunties havin lao yu sheng wif folded clothes durin great s'pore sales, mi short of $60 durin my 1st day cashier, how i serve customers, find a pair of undergarment in changin rm while i was vaccuumin.... Sigh all of tis hav bcome part of history liao.

After jalan jalan 4 a while, went back 2 bugis mrt 2 meet up wif my klass pple. Soon alot of them reached liao. Act shld go 2 eat steamboat @ bugis but alot of them dun wan so we made our way 2 cineleisure 2 hav sushi-steamboat-teppanyaki buffet. Wah tat place std dropped liao. Last time can realli do teppanyaki on heated metal plate now they let u do it on aluminium foil. The variety of sushi available oso veri little liao. But heng the meat there still veri nice. Eat until 4 abt an hr plus den we sian liao. The prev day i oso had buffet therefore i didnt realli eat alot tat day. Den our klass took some photo outside cineleisure. Ha after tat i tik shld say class outin over liao ba s some of the gers went shoppin, 2 went kbox, guys went lan-gaming n left wif mi, jm, hf n weichen went 2 play pool.

Den when we reached paradiz centre, tat pool siao gk suddenly appeared coz he was waitin 4 his fren oso. Thus we opened 2 table in which jm played wif gk 1st while i played wif the gers 1st. Ha both of the gers learnt veri fast lar unlike mi last time when i was learnin keep causin the white ball flew out of the table. Both of them can even master the grip technique on tat day. Ha until now sometime still like tat lar. Both of them managed 2 beat mi which is a gd start lor. Tat day we oso quite heng coz we r able 2 try some brand new cues. The cues super smooth n the grip is super zai such tat i can break start easily. After the pool game, went 2 the nearby lan shop 2 look 4 the remainin guys. After tat, went hme 4 dinner liao.

Time realli flies esp JC life. So fast prelim over liao left wif the last lap of A lvl liao while the images of PW, SAJC funfair, NVM 05, 24 hrs who's counting, Steppin dwn ceremony r still fresh in my mind. Sigh shi jian shi bu ke neng huan huan liu zou, fan er ta shi xun shu de liu zou. After a few more mths will b A lvl den time 4 mi 2 go army liao! Yao shi shi jian neng dao liu, wo zhen de xi wang wo neng zai guo zhong xue dao gao zhong de sheng huo duo yi ci, na you dou hao ar!

Wah veri pai sei coz him 2 wait 4 mi n my bro do our stuffs inside the gym. Tat day gym alot of pple lar so i hav 2 wait 4 some station. Got 1 person inside the gym wah lao his back ma jiam incredible hulk sia. His back muz hav absorbed 2 much gamma radiation liao lor. Den 1 ah pek shared dumbell wif mi after i did my dumbbell press. Omg the way he did bicep curl is totally wrong, keep usin momentum instead of exertin on the right muscle grp n he might snap his backbone anytime lar. I dun dare 2 correct him coz i m realli a newbie n nt certified yet. The gym instructor there realli jia liao bi nvr go patrol arnd. Sigh if his backbone crack i tik i shld take the blame ba. After tat, we left the gym 2 AMK 2 hav lunch 2gether.

Den 2day evenin went 2 cwp sake sushi 2 hav dinner buffet wif gk, toon pang n ows. Went in n we chiong like hungry ghosts. We ate gyoza, tako yaki, all sorts of sushi, chawanmushi, croquette, hotake,fried tofu n miso soup. Ha i quite gian beng lar. when the food is on the other side of the conveyor belt i stretched my hand n take lar instead of waitin 4 it 2 turn 1 rnd 2 our side of conveyor belt. @ the same time, we tok cock n i dunno i siao siao sort of say cb abit loud n pple arnd us all stared @ mi lar. Wah super pai sei. Got once i 4got ows ordered fried tofu liao i still take frm the conveyor belt. In the end i eat the tofu until i almost puke lar. B4 we left, we all jiu gui decided 2 try the japanese rice wine, sake so we ordered 1 bottle n shared lar. Ha when i checked IC i showed mine liao den the person didnt check the rest liao. She muz b tikin tat the shortest person alreadi 18 liao the rest shld b ba but she was wrong lar. Ows nt even 18 yet lar. Wah @ tat time i was quite afraid i get drunk lar coz i like long time nvr consume alcohol liao. Luckily after drinkin all my rounds i was nt giddy lar! Ha den toonpang bcame the joke of the day. Although he was nt drunk his whole face n neck turn red lar s if his lover is arnd liddat! Damn funny a red raptor!

Aiya suan le @ least wei le tis prelim i sort of like fully revise all my subject topics xcept 4 food chem lar. So after exam, can directly do prelim paper 2 train liao.

Yesterday after Chem Paper 3, we stayed back in sch overnite 2 help out 4 2day SEF event. We prepared things needed 4 the overnite stay n brought them along 4 chem paper 3. If i nt liddat, i will spent 3 hr travellin 2 n fro frm the sch lar. After chem paper 3, i went 2 the gym 2 get balls 4 alvin they all while i decided 2 hav some gym trainin coz i like 1 wk nvr hit the gym liao. Damn shiok i no need 2 wait 4 the stations lar s i was the onli 1 in the gym. Sian after like 30 min abit tired liao. Bo bian lar on wed i didnt slp lar in order 2 study physics n on thurs i like slpt 3 hrs s i wanted 2 mug chem. But now it seems tat i wasted my precious restin time liao. Den mr lim came in2 the gym n we chatted 4 a while. Den, went 2 bball court joined our klass guys 4 bball game. After our games, go arnd sch n help mr lim(jl) 2 lock up the classrms.

Howeva, orderin 6 pizzas is quite a bad move. We like ate 5 pieces n our stomach was like damn bloated liao. Wah lao in the end left wif like 2 untouched pizzas left lar. call reinforcement but no 1 wanted 2 eat. Sian ar lookin @ the remainin pizza, it will b damn wasteful 2 throw them away coz all of us paid 4 it n i oso dun like 2 waste food. So bo bian started stuffin myself wif pizzas lar.

2day both my parents managed 2 take their time off 2 attend my brother passin out parade in tekong 2 mark his end of his Recruit days n the start of his day s a private. After preparin all the things we need 2 bring, my dad drove us 2 SAF changi jetty. Wah b4 reachin the changi commando campsite, alreadi got traffic police spot check car liao so kenna held up 4 a while. Wah den after the road off changi village, there is a quite jialat traffic congestion s 2day alot of parents were drivin 2 c their son end of Tekong day. 4 my bro, Mohawk COY parents r supposed 2 report @ 2.15, but thx 2 the traffic jam, we reached @ 2.30. Luckily we r nt the only 1 late lar.
Since prime minister was goin 2 tekong 2 inspect 2day's batch, the security was veri tight. Everything muz oso check. Super sian we stood outside the ferry terminal n waited 4 like 20min under the hot sun b4 they invited us 2 go in. Den go inside the ferry terminal muz wait like abt 45 min b4 we board the air con ship 2 tekong. When reach tekong liao, heng no more time delay n we headed straight 2 the parade square.
When we reached there, just nice the programmes juz started s PM made his way 2 the stage. Den he walked dwn 2 the parade square 2 inspect the recruits. Ha he onli inspect a few company den sian liao den went his way back 2 the stage n gave a quite short speech. All the recruits standin dwn there motionless was damn relieved tat the PM didnt giv a national day rally on the stage. Ha despite we r standin on high grnds, we still cant realli c my bro lar coz he oso arnd my height. After tat, the companies began 2 march pass the parents out of the parade square. After tat, they all put dwn their M16 n helmet n den put on the sort of chiong sua kit n ran back 2 the parade sq whereby parents r supposed 2 put on the bloody recruit cap 4 their sons 1 last time. Wah s'pore parents sibei kiasu. All like 1000 yrs nvr c their son liao despite the fact tat their sons can book out every wkend. They all chiong dwn the staircase 2 their sons lar. 1 siao aunty kept pushin mi lar, causin mi 2 feel super 2lan. After puttin on my bro cap, we all took turn n took 4tos wif him. @ the same time, we realised some recruits quite sad coz their parents nvr come. In the end, their sergants put on the cap 4 them n tried 2 joke wif them lar. Ha but some dun let parents put on cap 4 them but let ger fren put on cap 4 them lar. After tat went back 2 our seats n the recruits began their battle dance juz like those new zealand rugby team always does b4 their match. Den came the climax of the day whereby the recruits can finally throw their bloody caps in2 the sky 2 mark the end of their recruit day. Some siao kias dunno muz throw their caps how many times den happy. Some more siao go arnd wackin their bunkmates or even sergants lar. They tossed their bunk mate or sergants up in2 the sky nt fearin of punishments lar. My bro faster zhao or else he short n light confirm kenna.
Den he went back 2 get his bags n joined us 4 snacks. Sian den we still hav 2 wait 4 our departure time accordin 2 COYs. Ha den we spent time chattin while waitin. Ha my bro said he dunno whether kenna SISPEC or guards. If he kenna SISPEC, den shiok liao nxt yr i go bmtc scarly he bcomes my platoon sergant. Howeva guards will b much better coz his prospect will b much better. He oso told mi tat Mohawk is 1 of the best COY in BMTC coz annually its intake alot go SISPEC or OCS. Howeva, tis come wif a price which is u hav 2 put up wif a lot of tekans. Pple company do 20 pushups in the mornin Mohawk did 12 times the no of pushups than them. Jumpin jet r count of 100 nt count of tens. IPPT nt gd prepare 4 late wkend bkout or prepare 4 nite trainin. No chance given 4 the slightest mistake- prepare 4 guard duty. Can c the result frm my bro lor. Last time he super slack now keep askin mi 2 go stadium run wif him or go gym. Wah his chinup frm 2 becomes 11, standin board jump pass, 2.4 frm fail bcome 10 plus n he like kenna 4-5 guard duty liao. @ the same time, i realised although i m veri short in SAJC, in BMTC there r even shorter n older pple than mi lar n some of them r even sergants. Ha nxt time they scold mi they hav 2 lift their head up n look @ mi lor.
Den the army pple cocked up. Shld b Mohawk after O'Ryan but it turned out 2 b Ninja after O'Ryan. But luckily Mohawk sergants veri gd immediately ask all the Mohawk units 2 cut the Ninja units or else we might hav 2 wait 4 another 1 hr lar. Despite of this ,we still hav 2 slowly queue up 4 tat ferry back 2 mainland. Behind us got 1 uncle super kiasu n bhave s if Storm Katrina is chasin after him keep pushin forward. Ha in the end he oso ended up in the same boat s us lar. On our way back, luckily no more congestion liao. Wah 2day we like spent 5 hrs in tekong lar n abt 3/4 of tat time is spent on waiting lar. Howeva worth it lar coz tis is my bro big day. Surprisingly, he quite missed his days in tekong despite of sergants pickin on him n all the siao trainin. Sian if liddat dunno whether my parents will go Tekong 2 put on cap 4 mi nxt yr or else i will b super sian liao!

So fast 2 wks hav passed since i last blogged. Spent alot of day on muggin n preparin 4 my prelim which is on tis wk. Sigh after takin GP, Math paper 1, Physics paper 3 n Chem paper 1, shld b able 2 pass ba but i doubt i will do veri well oso. Sian realli sort of lower my morale 4 other papers liao. No matter wad, still got 2 mug oso 4 my A lvl.
2day after takin chem paper 1, went 2 HBR 2 eat lunch wif jm, stanley, kah hong n alvin. S we usually patronise the hokkien mee n fried oyster auntie stall, 2day when i ordered frm her, the servings were like alot lar. Ha tat stanley n alv kum gong go spend $3 buy some spinach noodle which were instead being dyed by food colourin lar. But in the end they oso go buy hokkien mee 2 eat coz they quite hungry. After eatin, we sat dwn n had tok cock session abt army n some craps. After tat, jm went hme while we went Suntec 2 join ant, weiguang, huifang, weichen, yulan, weehong in suntec 4 food fest. The food fest was great alot of gd food n the prices were reasonable oso. We ate sausages, yakitori, bacon, jelly drink, taiwan snow ice, portugese egg tart, green tea ice cream n the turkey bbq meat burger. We shared the food n cost among ourselves n we like spent onli abt $7 each.
Eat alreadi liao we went the OTO exhibition n watched pple cyclin on the treadmill which will oso enable them 2 play a cyclin game thru PS2. In the end we all oso played tat game lar. Wah cycled until our uniform is almost wet with our sweats lar. After went 2 the Comex IT fest. Ha went there n spent most of the playin x box n psp games. Ha didnt manage 2 hav time go bioh those various computer n electronics brand display girls. Wah super suay lar kenna saboh by my veri gd pw member 2 go play some racin game lar.

Despite of the aches i will get after long hard day @ giordano, i realli miss workin @ giordano. 4 pple workin is stressful. Ha but 4 mi workin realli help 2 destress some of the stress i had in sch n can allow mi 2 4get abt unhappy stuffs. The ultimate benefit is every mth can get a veri gd pay of 500 plus lar. Sigh if i can cope wif my jc studies n work, i will definitely continue wif tis job. 4 me, hopefully, after army, if i do nt get in2 OCS, i can get a fitness instructor cert n bcome a fitness instructer. The pay nt bad n summore i can work n train @ the same time. Oh yah 2ml hav 2 go gym. i 1 wk nvr go liao n muz keep trainin my built 2 b a bit bigger but nt 2 those body builders types.
