another batch of recruits has passed out.... less than 2 months to go for me :) their passing out parade on tues was a wet one... haha... yea, it was raining quite heavily.... but the parade still went on... with me in it.... i was arrowed to be the contingent sergeant major for this parade... i was totally wet at the end of the parade... not to mention the 2 shades of colour that i have on my skin now due to the numerous rehearsals that i've been through under the hot sun.... well, i don't really feel much for this batch of recruits.... i guess my 6 weeks absence due to my ps course had something to do with it.... also, this batch has been one of the most troublesome and problematic batches ever.... its sad to say that but its the truth.... anyways, its over.... its time to move on.... my last parade, my last 24km route march, probably my last field camp.... my time is near... i can feel it, i can smell it.... ORD LOH!!! haha...

went out with my sis yesterday.... its been ages since i've gone out with her.... i know some of you might be surprised, but the fact is, i'm pretty close to my sister.... we're more like friends whenever we go out... haha.... i'm close to my whole family... i love them :) my friends have always wondered how i can get along with my family so well.... but its juz the way it is.... we've been through tough times together and i admit that i didn't treat them as well before..... i was also a rebellious teenager once, juz wanting to have fun and not bothering bout my family, not knowing how worried my parents were since i was their first child.... yes, i was rebellious but compared to other rebellious teens, my rebellious streak was considered mild... haha... anyways that's not the point.... it was when something happened to my family that i realised how precious family ties are... my sis was growing up, my bro still an innocent little kid, my mum was diagnosed with a heart condition, and a pretty bad financial situation forced me to grow up.... i saw my dad slogging it out juz for the family.... for once, i managed to look at the big picture.... but it was the strong family ties that got us through.... i thank god for blessing me with a wonderful family.... i love them all.... oh man, i got carried away there.... haha.... was supposed to write bout the outing with my sister.. heh.... yea, first we went to sim lim as i wanted to get a memory card for my new phone.... YES! I GOT A NEW PHONE!!! haha... samsung ultra edition 13.8, the Z720, in black :-) after that we went to vivocity to catch "the pursuit of happyness".... yes, the happiness is spelt with a "y" instead of an "i".... a brilliant and touching movie.... i think Will Smith is one of the most talented actors ever.... after the movie we juz chilled out at Pacific Coffee where we juz talked and updated one another on each others' lives.... it was cool... a sister to brother chat...










by the way, the photos above except for the last one was taken by my NEW phone's 3 megapixel camera... haha... yea...


i juz have to say this... i caught 300 last week with the gang and it was simply brilliant..... its definately one of the best movies that i've ever seen.... its gory yet classy.... i'll catch it again anytime :) cheers peeps!

i saw someone nearly got hit by an incoming train.... i'm still reeling from the shock.... it happened early this afternoon. i was at Marsiling mrt station waiting for the train when i saw this guy.... he looked drunk from the way he was walking and swaying about on the platform... naturally i walked away from him towards the centre.... then when i turned back, i saw him at the edge of the platform looking as if he was picking something from the floor and fall onto the tracks.... and as if that wasn't bad enough, the train was already in sight, juz about a hundred metres away.... many froze and some screamed.... i don't know what came over me but i started running towards him and juz shouting and cursing at him asking him to get out of the train's way.... it was crazy... somehow, that guy managed to get to the side juz as the train passed by.... i swore i could see his hair touch the side front of the train... it was that close.... i was absolutely petrified... i stood on the platform for a few mins, juz staring blankly, and trembling slightly..... i uttered some short prayers before finally coming to my senses.... the whole incident caused some delay in the train system as they got the guy out and probably handed him over to the police or something..... i was so shocked that i didn't realised that i had boarded the wrong train.... it was not until i reached bukit gombak that i saw i was going in the wrong direction... oh man.... i'm juz glad that i did not witness a death......
