muhahaZ!!! ..
Still feeling happy over the gear selector neutral switch by-pass my friend and I did yesterday. This vehicle was so stubborn... at first we thought that it was the starter's motor's problem, and so we tried to crank start the vehicle... But after whacking the starter motor with a crowbar for like one hour plus, we still couldn't get it started... Then we tried accessing the started motor from the front, and nthing works. We were almost going to try to use a metallic contact to do another type of bypass, but decided not too since we have never seen anyone do it b4, and god knows wat will happen..... was abt to give up when he reminded me to try the gear selector by-pass since there's nthing else we can do. And to our suprise, it actually works! and the vehicle came to life again!!!! ^o^ HeIHei
Most ppl reading it most prob won't understand wat i'm talking abt, but nvm, heihei :D

what aRe``you Looking foR ..
"The Rainbow Connection"
written by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams
Kermit: Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic...
... Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
... Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Laa, da daa dee da daa daa,
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...
It was a song that mysteriously appear on the previous computer that I was using... Neither my sis nor me downloaded it. Despite the rather unpleasant vocal of Kermit the frog, I realised that It was a meaningful song... thanks to a friend who reminded me to listen beyond the vocal...
To all ppl out there, whether they are searching for friendship, love, or simply a purpose for existance, and to those ppl who have found their goal and are working towards it, I hope that listening this song will mean something to u... But nonetheless, always remember to look ard u, slow down ur pace in life and appreciate ur family, friends acquaintances and even enemies... for they all make u a better person =)

Batman Begins... COOL!!!..
went to watch batman begins with sk,wb, jiansheng , nic and sf @ westmall yesterday. Think it's really the best batman movie yet, cos so far, this batman is the closest to the "real" one...at first we were supposed to be watching some jap movie at cine, but the tickets were sold out, abd then since sk sms and ask whether we want to watch batman, we decided to change... sf was quite reluctant though... but I think she's going to watch it today... maybe dragging sk along ^_^ haha
While still at orchard, saw one of my sec sch friend at kino, whom I haven't seen for months... quite suprised to see him though... cos I was supposed to meet up with my sec sch friend to watch a movie in the aft... but by ard 4pm still no news fr them... so most prob the same thing happened again. Canceled becos many ppl cannot make it... hai~ at this rate by the time I see them I won't even regconise them liao...

night safari
The dinner was gd, and this time round we managed to control ourselves from indulging too much, and since there was no beer, things there are not like the chaotic situation yesterday... it's more family-typed outing. Then the programme is followed by the visit to night safari... quite interesting to begin with, but i soon get tired of it... nthing so interesting abt watching a bunch of animals trapped there... especially the poor leopard who kept pacing back and forth, back and forth in front of the glass panel. For a moment I thought it was thinking abt some chim philosophical question... then again, i think it's just bored "'-_-
Dinner @ EXPO
Donated my first bag of blood in the morning yesterday... thought that it would hurt, but to my suprise, it was quite a fun experience. The nurse tries to start a conversation with me... perhaps bcos she can tell that i was feeling a bit nervous. And I thought I would feel dizzy or weak after having one bag of blood taken out from my body, but suprisingly, don't feel anything at all. Looks like I have an excess of blood flowing thru my veins.. shall donate more next time ^_^.. One of my friends was rather disappointed that he can't donate blood cos he went England b4, and the doc says that since there's no test to confirm whether there's mad cow disease virus in blood, he can't donate blood until someone came up with such tests...
Went for the dinner thing at night... It's a bit chaotic though... with the free flow of beer and so on... 15 mins b4 the VIPs arrive they hav to start re-filling the beer liao...The performances was not bad though, there's dancers, skips put up by some companies... and my friends and I took so much food that we have to pile up the dishes to have space... But as the performances went on, ppl starts getting high as they have jar after jar of beer... start jeering and even "yum-seng" while the poor magician was performing his lame tricks... totally ignoring his presence... chaotic. The whole thing finally ends at abt 10:40pm... and I have to rush home in order to catch my anime at 11... luckily we manage to catch a cab soon after we came out of expo.
Tonite there's another dinner at night safari again hai~ hopefully it won't end so late =P

platoon integrity??..
the whole platoon got punished by our PC todae... apparently, some ppl always says that they hav not enough time to do work, but still got time to play X-box in 3G restroom... Got caught by our PC, and so called us back and fall in the whole platoon during lunch time. So as punishment, we won't get any tea-breaks till further notice... and also hav to fall out late todae... yet he himself already took a half day off. So much for platoon integrity that he always preached us...
My sis was quite worried when she saw my face... apparently the pimple outbreak seems to be getting out of control... recommended me some dunnoe-wat solution to use... hmm... hope it works... cos it's starting to irritate me too...
This week is a rather short week, with CO parade on thursday morn followed by blood donation... then at night have to go all the way to EXPO to have battalion dinner, Friday's supposed to be off day, but have to go night safari in the evening for another dinner organised by HQ armour.... @ buffet in a row ^_^ hEiHei

cLaSs GatheRing ..
Had a rather nice day having class gathering at yida's hse yesterday, quite a lote of ppl turn up, some of which I haven't seen for a long time. Desmond was there too, and together we help jh prepare some of his weird dishes from the cookbook. I must admit that the first dishe with the bacon wrapped ard the drumstick was gd, but his second dish turns out to be rather special.... with the pear tasting like potato, and the blueberry taste like raisins =S. But nonetheless, we still finished up his food ^_^ Had a little game of blackjack ard the table, and as usual, when it comes to money, I'm the ultimate loser again..... but nvm, it was fun though.
Played the game till almost 11pm, and we help yida to packup and cleanup before we go since we made a mess out of his hse. Desmond still have a box of strawberries, which we could have mix with chocolate syrup and serve as a dessert... but unfornuately, got jinxed but sf, and the strawberry ended up in the rubbish bin aft a series of accidents... Hai~ wasted... can see the sian diao looks on desmond's face Haha =D
Took the cab home with sk, sf and fiona... xr was supposed to take the cab with us, but while walking towards the taxi stand, she disappear somewhere to draw money...and since we saw her walking with Eunike and nic towards the mrt, we took that she was going to take the mrt home.... so we sort of "deserted" her :S it was not until we were almost home that we realised this miscommunication thing... Must really thanx sk for specially making the trip down to her hse to make sure that she reach home safetly =)
Must have been ard the army too long liao... need to control my use of vulgaritites b4 it becomes a habit.....

what aRe``you Looking foR ..
a rather nice day of mosquito-feeding at pasir ris park... did a bit of jogging too, so didn't walk all the way. But can't believe that some warrant officers still takes shortcuts, and can even say " follow me, this way shorter" "'- -... wat happened to the integrity??
Time can be a scary thing... It erodes away wat once was there... ambition, hope, passion and most importantly, memories, friendships....
what aRe``you Looking foR ..

hmm... haven't been able to concentrate on the things I do lately.... my mind juz seems to wander off when I'm driving or guiding the vehicle... not even paying close attention when my friend was guiding me. Almost collided with another vehicle park behind me yesterday, and due to my poor jugdement, my friend scrape off a few pieces of concrete from a step......
There's a long stretch of road where we carry out our road test there.... a plain, even road, where one would drive the vehicle to the end of the road, and make a u-turn b4 a low wall there. My mind often wamder off as I drove the vehicle towards the wall... somehow, listening to the wind blowing past u... thinking of unimportant things... but fortunately, I manage to wander back to make the steer. But that stretch of road is juz like my life. Even, with no ups and down... no excitement... no anticipation .. no goal... no purpose... Whenever I stop doing something, the sense of incomplete-ness will surface again. Something is missing. Have to keep myself occupied all the time so tat I dun have to face it. Reading... slping... watching tv etc etc... Is my life juz going to be spent doing all these??

-_-
Tiring day at work... cos so many vehicle got prob... later rush down to tuition... long day...
Think my friend was quite right in comparing the vehicles to gals( not that i'm racist, but that's wat ppl usually do....), each and every vehicle is different, with their own strength and weaknesses... Some have very gd engine, better ramp hydraulic system, or a more decent hull... but each vehicle also got their own problem... low fuel, battery dead... lights spoits... speedometer cannot make it... sometimes they will throw temper and refuse to start engine... really have to take care or otherwise when u try to approach them, they'll totally ignore u....
think i really too shared liao.... rushing too much to finish my book too.... time to slp -_-...

^_^
Juz came back from the RV and yuhua alumni band concert, where PJC band and Yuhua secondary school band also performed as well. I'm not a pro at listening to band conert, but I think that they sounded quite gd, though jy says that yuhua sec sch band used to play even better. But aniwae, it was an enjoyable experience... much better then the engine noise I listen to everyday... After that, sk, jh, desmond and I went for dinner. jy was supposed to join us too, but he stayed behind to chat wif his friends and eventually deserted us... "'-_-... So we went all the way to Suntec city foodcourt to have our dinner, and end the day at coffee bean as usual =) coffee bean is still the best...
Finally... we embarked on our way home... still have to work tml, and feeling quite sleepy now... looks like the total of 4 cups of coffee I had todae including the mocha ice blended at coffee bean didn't help much...

...first day in 3G...
shagged.... didn't bookout yesterday cos one of my friend and I was called up to do Guard Duty... Such a last minute order, juz 2 hrs b4 our normal bookout timing. Totally unprepared, no SBO, no helmet, no toothbrush... nthing, and have to borrow our 'senior's' stuff... Haven't being wearing SBO since BMTC liao... then todae's buses got so many ppl... reach home at almost eight liao... sianz... Still can't quite get use to my friends' attitude towards work... but maybe it's b'cos i'm juz too paritcular abt things... the work relationships between the people there are also not as gd as those in CCO... dun feel like i belong there. CCO still feels more like home.
i try to give a positive attitude towards work... Get posted to 3G instead of staying in CCO where I like so much... nvm, I tell myself that "down there got more things to do, more things to learn". Can't really accept other's attitude... nvm, "different ppl bound to hav different view and opinions, and that's wat makes the world interesting"... Call up to do last minute Guard Duty... it's ok, "it'll be a gd experience, juz like chatlet... stayin occasionally"....... who the hell am I trying to bluff. I'm not an optimist, and everytime something comes along, something that I dun like, I'll try to pretend that I look towards the bright side of things... But everytime there'll be some negative thoughts running thru my mind again and again.... I try to control my temper everytime I feel frustrated, so that I wouldn't go back home and vent my anger there... but I'm so mentally exhausted... To me, the cup of water is half-empty, not half filled... it never is and never will be. MAybe that's why I sucks at cheering ppl up, b'cos deep down i dun really believe that things will always turn out fine in the end...
shagged... really need to catch some real slp... have been drinking so much coffee that it no longer have any effect... i'm getting sick of it... But it's become such a habit that juz cannot seems to stop drinking... hai~
