Burnt Weekends

Not having a good weekend these days. First was rushing through projects last week, then when I thought I could relax and enjoy this week, I fell sick on the Friday! Damn I was totally put down by a virus! Argh! I haven't been out for quite a long time! Damn now tomorrow and Tuesday there's a test coming without me enjoying my Saturday and Sunday. Sickening. Damn and today is such a nice day for a jog!

This is a very interesting comic taken from TIMES ASIA depicting about different girls's path that is happening to Japan. Which girl are you?

Queenstown Char Kway Teow

Went to eat Char Kway Teow with my coursemates after school today at Queenstown area. The stall can be easily recognised by it's single bright shining bulb with a long queue of eaters queuing up for their plate of the famous Char Kway Teow. Found a seat, then go join the queue. Luckily it was still early so not much people queuing up. Wah the uncle can fry very fast sia. Ordered 6 plates for just 4 us! See how hungry we are? Of course there was cockles in it. I think this stall served the most cockles in a plate of char kway teow. I think theres more than 10 in it and they are huge! Wah eat 1 plate I already sick of the "hums" already. My friend keeps passing them to me! But the dish is delicious! Very good place for hum lovers.


Wah! Lots of hums left over!


Biggest hum we found. Look at how huge compared to the smaller one.

Busy and Stressed

Sorry for not blogging for the past few days cause was very busy with exams and projects. Mentally very tiring and stressed on the project that we had to submit. Anyway also nothing much to talk during this period. Well at least the exams are over for now.....5 more to go!

Meteor Shower on 12 Aug- 13 Aug

Spent the night in NP looking at the sky for meteors. However, the view was hampered by bad cloud weather. Nevertheless there are a few strong ones which managed to pierce through the clouds to give us a spectacular fireball.

We reached the top!

At the peak of Sheares Bridge!

453 days to ORD

453 days seemed so far away.... still got hundreds of days to go.

Today was not a good day at all. As the most of the Perm staff were off except for a few poor souls and us trainees which still have to come to school to do what? NOTHING. It's supposed to be project day but we can't do anything cause we are forbidden to bring any computer electronic stuffs to school. Our boss really have no brains, expect us to do project using computer whereas we don't have one?!! He's not even in school today! Bought a 2nd Gameboy Advance from my friend just nice can play to pass some time away. After lunch we went for our healthy lifestyle but halfway in our game we got scolded by our deputy commander cause there was no warrant officers around and we didn't ask for permission. We almost got confined! I don't know we will really get confined this weekend. Hope not. Apparently he told one of our coursemate that we are not supposed to play today during lunchtime but our friend didn't relay the message and just wanted to test the system. So most of us were farked without knowing what's wrong. Hope our Deputy commander didn't take this incident too harsh as he's one of our only senior that we can talk comfortably.
Damn tomorrow is another day.

National Day Eve

Morning was shit as I was raining very heavily on my way to school in Bukit Timah. Even with an Umbrella half of my body was soaking wet. The only thing dry was my head. Went for some National Day parade at Base. Got a half day today! I was hoping for it and haha we got lucky half day for us. After lunch waited for the bus which was supposed to come at 12.30 pm but it was delayed until 1.30 pm. Damn was rotting in school during that time!
Reached home got changed and out again with Ryan to the Carnival@Marina. Quite a lot of people were there for the festival. Went there to look at the Army displays plus some photo taking. There were rides in our SAF light armoured vehicles and fire engines and many static displays of military weapons and vehicles.

Went for a few shooting with the SAR21 with blank ammunition. Hiaz I pity the guy who is going the clean the rifle after the event ends hahaha. You know that cleaning a rifle which have shot blank ammuntitions is a nightmare?

Super Puma

After a tiring day, we headed to Marina square for Dinner at Carl's Jr Burger. The Burger is freaking HUGE! You thought Burger King's Whooper burger is big? Look at this!



BIG Right?


Ryan trying to stuff the burger into his mouth

After a super filling meal we started our hike to the Sheares Bridge to get a good view for the fireworks. Guess what? We HOLLANDED (Got lost). Hahahaha getting to the bridge is actally quite a task for first timers. But we have our RECCE commander here so we finally made it to the top facing the Esplande.


Walking on the Expressway....


I've reached!

Took a few testing shots at the city and we found something........


A city night


The Esplanade

We were facing the wrong side!!! It's actually at the opposite site! So we had to head down the bridge again to walk to the other side which is Marina South. Dying of thirst, we went to the bay area for a drink and rest by the shore. It's quite a nice place to chill out there.


By the bay

Finally headed up the the bridge again, this time facing the correct side of the bridge. We then waited for midnight with the rest of the photographers for the fireworks show. Waitign was even more tiring, luckily there's Ryan's mp3 player to keep us awake till 1155 pm. Finally 1159 hrs, rdy the camera. 0000 hrs Boom! first shot of fireworks. Everyone's camera started snapping away and adjusting settings trying to get good shots of the fireworks.


Inital shots of pyrotechnics


Roses are red


Violets are.....violets

The Finale

This time the fireworks were quite far so there was not much excitement there. Maybe we were tired too. Well after the whole event ended, we headed back home for a good night rest.

HAPPY 40th NATIONAL DAY

Hahahaha amazingly cute condoms aren't they? Too bad they are only avaliable in Japan. More condoms here!

What happens when 2 army guys fight over women...

HOOT AH! Of course I don't think that will happen to us. Hahaha!

A Night in Geylang....

Went to Geylang after work with my army coursemates to eat Claypot rice at lorong 33. It's the famous claypot rice in Geylang and you have to reserve a table so that you won't have to wait long for the claypot rice to cook! The Claypot rice is just delicious and we ordered a few side dishes like softshell crabs, toufu and braised duck. The side dishes are damn delicious too! Too bad didn't have any camera to take pictures of these savory dishes.
