Friday, December 28, 2007

Damn tired and body ache like hell. Yesterday took weights and now is killing me. haha. Too long never exercise.. but hoping for more. Did 9 1/2 pull ups..!! DAMN! NO! NO! NO!

Just came back from AMK hub. Met with Weilong and Andy for dinner.. and played snooker for awhile. Catching up with my sec sch friends abit. Oh well, it's late. Gonna turn in.

Know how my past and coming few working days?
Wed - night. ( means back on thurs morning )
Thurs - night. ( means back on fri morning )
Sat - morning.
Sun - morning.
Monday - night. ( new year's eve )

=( tired. but looking forward for the chinese new year's off days.... :D

Thursday, December 27, 2007

Woke up not long ago. Few more hours gotta go for work. This week will be working days. Helped a colleague from Team Bravo on the coming Sat ( my second off ) because he got performance. Oh well, meaning, i'm resting on the fri and from sat to tues?

What important date to me now is Chinese new year. Eve and lunar i'm off. But second and third i'm working. Maybe my colleague will pay me back on the third and i'll take leave on the second. =D

Last night got 5 swimmers if i'm not wrong. If i never change shift, most probably i'll handle the situation cause it's team Alpha, my team caught the swimmers.. some more limited chinese.. possibility could be those few.. Alright. There's this stubborn guy who keep diving.. though he knows he'll stil get caught in the end. Guess what? His thigh hit the propeller. BLOOD! part of the flesh went off!! the back of the boat was stained with blood.. and there're flesh? or skins in the blood.....

We took over that time, there's still a swimmer under the fish farm. It's too dark and can't spot him. 50yrs old plus i think. But another boat was told to do the searching and we resume our patrol.

There will be a gift exchange. haha. minimum $10. Haven't buy yet. But first, i gonna do some exercise before heading out to get the gift and off to work....

don't know why, im missing you.

Wednesday, December 26, 2007

Haha! lazy to blog till today....

First of all, Merry Christmas to all ! Thanks for all the sms-es i received. :)

Just came back not long from lunch with weicong. LJS. Before that had my driving practical. Damn. Stall once. =( Tonight on night shift... requested to do so.

On christmas eve that day, Weicong planned to watch movie at 2.10am. But don't know why in the end never watch. Really very troublesome to organise people to go out. Gotta plan early. At 7plus, in the end i become the organiser. LOL! asked Sharon to go out with me or else she'll be spending christmas eve alone... So, bought tix online and off to prepare. met WeiCong at town cause his friends were busy with girls. Haha. So, went to buy cookies and off to cine to collect tix. Soon, sharon came and esmond. Went to Xinwang for dessert cause the show starts at 1.50am. Having halfway, Xinrong came. Finished everything by 12plus and went up to Emax and played CS for an hour to kill time. Sorry sharon, made you sit there and watch my ipod. =x haha.

Soon, it's movie time. Watched I am Legend. Sit separated.. 2 by 3. haha. =P Show was nice. Show ended at 3.40am.. and it's still early?!! Went for National Treasure at 4am!!! Gosh. Movie marathon... though it's first time watching movie twice in a row, it was fun hanging out with sharon, esmond.. weicong.. xinrong. =) Had a great christmas eve. Been ages since i last watched a movie with bros.. haha. Oh! thanks for the gift, sharon! :D

Reached home and wash up. slept at 7.45? and wake up at 10. haha. Cancelled my driving lesson cause my mom wants to go out. So, left home bout 1plus and off to town for shopping. MAMA boy for the day. haha. Helped my dad to choose clothings. Bought a raulph lauren shirt and a zara pants. Went to town in slippers with shorts. And went into those shops like.. LOEWE.. FENDI in this attire. haha! A tiring day caused i never bought anything. My dad and i went to Ben Sherman too! didn't like what're on discounts... but those that are not. haha. And Sharon called me, told me a bad news.. =( so just glance awhile at the shirts, was listening to what she was saying. my mind can't separate concentrations. =x

Hmm.. how in the hell can a guy scold 'fuck' to a girl when he's angry or not feeling good. That's so not gentleman. As a boyfriend, shoud be supportive and understanding and must be able to give and take what. What the... really can't stand guys who scold bad words at girls.. some more his gf.

Anyway, hope all had a wonderful christmas! (:


attire for christmas eve.
=P
can i go out like that? LOL!

Saturday, December 22, 2007

Double night shift is indeed tiring. However, it's quite nice to do double night. (: Got more meal allowance and no need wake up early in the morning. =x Anyway, the following night when i'm going to bed, i can't sleep. because i spent 2 nights out there in the boat? HMMM.

Friday went down to help out at parents' stall. So long never go down because got driving during my off days.. Even the aunties there asked why i so long never go down. LOL. And got this auntie, so called 'Mother-in-law' asked me why so long never go down.. say got new gf is it.. why never bring her come down.. blah blah.. said i hurt her heart. lol. But she asked me to go for dinner on christmas eve. I don't even know any of her family la!! I'm not going there! SIAO!

Bout christmas eve, i spent with Jade last year? Didn't even plan for this year.. maybe with my bros or sharon or anyone? (:

Went to club last night. My bro, Weicong, Esmond, Xinrong, Yewen. Initially was damn sucks man. And i got to know last wed, zouk was raided by police. *shivers* haha.
Bout 1plus got better. as usual, squeezy. Quite fun though. 'He knows every songs!' LOL.

Slept till like 12plus. Watched spies like us on HBO. a funny show. Going for wedding dinner later. Arsenal vs Tottenham at 0845pm! GO GO ARSENAL!


Random pics taken while on the boat.....

You'll get to see this type of current at the furthest part of the patrolling sectors.

Managed to put movies into my IPOD!! *cheers* :D Gotta save up for shopping. (:

Wednesday, December 19, 2007

After work went home first and had breakfast. Then my parents sent me for dragonboat training. While my family went to AMK hub to shop. After my training, accompanied Alinna to temple.. walked around bugis and queensway. She bought nice jeans. (:

Tiring day eh? you bet. Slept during the second half of liverpool match. Woke up for Arsenal match. 3 cheers for Arsenal! BOO chelsea! =P *haha meli.* But the match i was like a zombie watching.. =x But it could be a 2-0 game... the referee is nothing but a fat guy with belly running here and there. And i think ah.. those big 4 teams who were playing on sunday.. their yellow cards can accumulate up to 20 and more? LOL!

Monday.
Driving. This time. The 3 point turn caused me to stall engine. Confusing eh!! haha. Met up with Weicong for awhile. Went for lunch. Bro was at home. I washed all my jeans and clothes before watchin GOAL 2. Been wearing so many jeans these few days.. haha. Alright. Goal 2 was nice.. but abit fake la.. but makes me want to play soccer. =)

Meet up with Sharon at Orchard. Sharon was same school with me in primary school when i moved to yishun.. just that different class. Then, we got into same class in secondary school.. for 4 years!!! Used to come my house and slack. And yesterday.. It's the first time i'm going out with her la! And the last time i saw her was in sec days.. * don't consider that night when i bumped into her.* been 2, 3 years? Carry umbrella for my this 6yrs friend last night cause of the rain! HAHA! don't know how long never use or carry umbrella. Changed alot and she's getting prettier. I'm so used to speak english nowadays.. and forgot i speak chinese to Sharon during my sec days.

Had dinner at Ajisen. The scallops quite nice eh. Walked around and off to Cine for 'The Warlords' at 9.45pm. hmm.. abit drag eh. makes me keep want to move around.. But i like when jet li cut off their legs.. Overall not bad. =) Finished bout 12plus. This is the FIRST time i'm out so late on MONDAY! And poor sharon. lost her wallet. =( And she and I don't know how the wallet disappear to.

Today.
Driving in the morning. This time. Stalled 2 times. Because muddle head. Forgot that can't lift up the clutch pedal when you're on gear. LOL! Reached home.. cup noodles and milo. Watched Number 23 till fall asleep.. and i'm on night shift tonight.

Been a busy week eh! But enjoyed myself so much! haha. And.. I'm left 200 till the next payday (12/01/08) .

did i left anything out? =)


Thursday, December 13, 2007

i think i left out so many things on my last blog. Only remembered when meli said about the necklace that wrote 'best friend'. It's a 2 necklace.. but one with 'best'.. one with 'friend'.

Okay.. today. In service. Was kena conned that must reached by 8am. *scolds* when everyone starts fall in at 8.45am. After lunch, had to go to HTA to support PCG for the sports meet. Initially, was damn happy cause was told 3plus can leave. Bloody hell. In the end, get to know PCG commander arrived at 4pm. Nvm. CP comes later than that. I was damn... pek cek cause supposed to meet Alinna in town. Everything ended about maybe 7? Damn it! i left at 4something and reached town about 5something. In the end, all LCK left early. Hopefully, never kena anything. If not got to ans.. but then.. got ideas to cover my backside.. So scared of AWOL or don't know what charge here charge there...

Accompanied Alinna and her friend shopping. See them bought the crumpler pouch ah.. feel like getting one too. =D but want a bigger one so that can put my jacket when i'm out. but it's like... $175. Everyone's using it..

Saw Bee at Wheellock. Abit shocked and kinda delighted too. ;) chatted for awhile.. don't know why... there're a weird feeling which i don't know how to describe. Anyway....

Headed to Shaw for dinner. KFC. Forgot wallet inside empty so went down to draw money. Damn damn wrong man.. =x Thanks for the treat. After which, Alinna went to see watch.. was kinda shocked when i asked her for who. Head home after that.. while on the escalator down, she gave me the watch. I was like... *stared blur and stunned. She caught me by surprise. It's a birthday and christmas gift.. Was so touched by that.. cause this year she's the first one to give me a present.. some more after my birthday had passed. Didn't expect any gift.. so like.. touched. I swear, i've never received any watches as a gift.. not to say have anything for christmas... Sometimes, i think i'm a emo creature. And now, I've got 3 watches. =) 2 for outings.. 1 for work and sports.


not completely digital..

nice eh?


Can't bear to wear to work and swim.

Thanks alot for the gift, Alinna. Appreciate it very much.

*touched*

19th Birthday.

Thanks for all the wishes by friends.. bros and besties. Oh god, I've grown up so much.. from 18 to 19. The impact of NS.. stories of friends.. made me grow up and understand things more deeply. All these while, gotta thanks to all those who stand by me. (:

Though I only received a call from meli saying out 'Happy birthday!'.. it's the thoughts that count. Gladys said she wanted to call at 12 and sing me a bday song.. but she's too tired that she fell asleep with her phone flipped open.. that's so sweet. Bee was the first to wish on my tag! (: Thanks. I even received msg from a unsaved no. =x which i then know is Sharon. haha. Here's a funny one by my sec sch friend.. called Sharon Wong. same class for 4yrs. Was chatting with her this morning.. and she didn't realise it's my birthday till like.. evening and she msged me! lol. She promised to meet me next week.. =)

early morning went out to have brunch with WeiCong and Junhao. Went to take my birthday presents (chicken rice and dimsum) from them. Headed for 1hr of Counterstrike. They're out to humilate in this game!! lol. Went home and prepared to go meet meli. She treated me meals! :D Super full and nice.. After which, went to collect my PCG family don't know what $2 tix. Didn't watch the movie.. Here's the deal.. $4 for 2 tix (golden compass) with 2 regular coke.. 1 popcorn.. 1 nachos. Gave the food tix to ah Chua.. who brought his family there. =) feel like doing something good.

Went to Zara and bought myself a Polo Tee. $75 is too ex. But wait and see if it's worth it. ;) While changing, my that bestie want to take 'couple shots'. LOL! =P so like.. stand there and take pics. First time holding a camera in front of mirror. =x

Alright.
Back to the yesterday. Attended my bro's POP. will post pics on that. i must say.. SAF is more bonding than police. Wanna-be soldiers. haha. Tomorrow still got in service. I'm gonna lie so i can leave early to meet Alinna. Suppose to my off day!!!



taken in genki sushi.
sorry, i don't have stupid looks.

bright lights there.

nice eh? =)

cat face! meow! LOL!


her fav pics among all.
Time past real fast. Months ago, was waiting for this day. But when this day is about to come.. don't feel anything special for this day. Just another normal day. And know this bestie for 1 yrs plus. fast eh? keep chatting and catching up with one another. She told me all her problems.. and shared mine too. She's right. I'm at fault too. look at a bigger picture. =)
This year birthday.. no bday presents.. no bday cakes.. sad eh? nope. i've grown up alot. From looks to characters.. I've changed so much. from the blonde hair boy to short black hair.. Learned so much in life. Lately, alot of my close friends and bestie.. you too.. were hit by so many problems.. especially love problems. If there's a wish i can make, i wish all the problems you all have can be solved and be worries free. (: will be there for you girls.
loves. <3



Monday, December 10, 2007

Just got back home not long ago. was patrolling at tuas areas. with my second boss. haha. Furthest away from base. Some more other team take over late, so kinda reach home late. Lucky my friend dropped me at CCK mrt. =) Time past so fast today.

Last night, couldn't sleep till like 1plus. Forced myself to sleep cause next day(which is today) got to work. Woke up 5plus.. almost fell asleep afer shut the alarm clock up. lol. damn cold can. talk till my second boss go rest and i play PSP.. 4plus went to rest. Woke up like 7plus. Had my dinner and it's almost time to knock off. But well, mentioned as above.

Tomorrow attending my bro's POP at Tekong. Cancelled my driving.. don't feel like driving tomorrow. After that, heading to swim. Took leave for tml night shift.

Sunday, December 09, 2007

Before this, I had a dream.. right after i fell asleep when i told my sis to wake me up after using the comp.. which is like 10mins ago? So instant like few mins and my dream start. 'They were throwing rocks and me.. i keep dodging and i threw 2 big rocks back at them and both of them fell off from the storey. And they seemed to be half bodied.' What a dream.

Yesterday night shift, starting from 8pm till now, i slept only 2hrs. And don't know why, I can't get to sleep after work. Maybe the mind is not functioning well.. Reached home, stoned awhile and called Weicong to have lunch with me. Woke him up and he came down from admiralty to eat duck noodles with me. Went to Timezone to spend the $1 leftover.. in the end was kinda addicted to those big prizes machines.. whereby you can win ipod nano, PSP, DS lite.. etc. Wasted $5 on that. After that, came to my house and slack. Talk and talk.. After he left, tried to rest.. but couldn't.

Past few days have been dreaming... days by days the dreams getting worse. :( Not long, could feel the hurt which been so long never feel before. Life is a choice. You choose the way you want your life to be. Walk towards your dreams.. fuilfil them, achieve them. I'll be happy for you too. In life, we just got to sacrifice. I'll never blame anyone from the right of the start.

Saturday night.. a off day some more. Just really not in the right mood to do anything. Skipped milkshake cause it's too packed, zoukout cause too ex, movies at town with bros cause too far. Just wanna lie on the bed, staring at the ceiling, pondering about the past. Ha. Kinda emo man. SHIT. maybe because i'm tired after a long day at work?

bought speakers at $32. finally. No need to rely on earpieces anymore.

time for bed.
good night all.
bless all my friends to be happy and worries free.
miss you.

Friday, December 07, 2007

Yesterday damn slack during work. Nothing to do basically. Left at 2030.. reached home bout 2130? fast eh? Our dragon boat came in first. Coming 13thdec got stupid in service. Waste of time.

Today morning got driving. Drove down to Ubi and book my test. 6th May. So far away. And fuck. I stalled engine 4 times.. 2 consecutive during a turn. Sucks man.

Night shift tonight. On a friday night. Everyone is having fun. =(

what is more important? ):

Wednesday, December 05, 2007

Yesterday was my first off. Night shift ended everything bout 10.45am. DAMN! Wouldn't be so late if Team Charile took over early from us. And the case come so accurate when we're about to finish from work. WA LAOSSS! Okay. So.. being the only chinese on the boat that day, I'll do the communicating, follow my crew commander's instruction.. and wrote everything. *curse and swear* I was suppose to go for dragon boat training at 11.30am but ended so late. So, give it a miss. Sigh.

As for the dragon boat, all were present and as a RESERVE, i gotta work tomorrow cause of shortage manpower. =( Morning shift tomorrow. Inspection some more! WA!

Okie... back to yesterday...
After work, went home. Reached about 12plus. Surfing around.. looking at Ben Sherman's website.. till i forgot my lunch. Left home for Novena to buy donuts. I swear, that's the first time i've been to Velocity. =x Lol. What a mountain turtle. haha. After that, head down to causeway to meet Beelye for dinner. (: Chat for quite some time before heading home.

Today supposed to go Sentosa with dragonboat team mates for 'bonding'. haha. Cause tomorrow is the competition.. got to relax and all out for tomorrow. A pity that I can't row. =( Well well, nvm. Didn't go because I booked my driving lesson in the morning. And the whole morning been raining till now? Was thinking, drive in the rain difficult anot? When i met the instructor under my blk, he's already sitting at the passenger seat and leave the driver seat to me. =) Okay, thats good. So, we travelled to AMK, Bishan.. Lower Seletar Reservoir... etc. Drive non stop for 2hrs. But I stalled engine once! =( *feel shit* But he said next lesson going down to Ubi to book my test already.

Reverse, Parking, U turn, turning... Gotta put in more effort. And my release of clutch pedal.. lol. abit jerky. haha. Released too fast sometimes. But when i reached a point where small road going to main road, i'm abit not stable.. especially the one where got pedestrian crossing.

Haha! my blog must be damn boring. LOL! it's either driving.. working and sports. =x

Monday, December 03, 2007

Morning shift yesterday. Supposed to be patrolling with DTL.. in the end change to WO.. work with TL. Slacked till 1plus and went for supervisory rounds. And guess what... He asked me to steer and speed at 40knots... 40knots is about...? I'm not sure. But total for 3 engines, 250 horsepower. I don't know how fast.. It's just FAST.

Interesting part. I travelled at 40knots and saw other police boat.. And must alongside them.. Alongside is something like parking. Instead of parking at the starboard of the other boat, I parked at the port side.. which is more difficult. Whoo. After turning full left and right.. free gear up gear.. managed to park without a single knock. TL said I'm a fast learner. =)) Great achievements cause it's the most complicated in steering boat. Even my crew said for a first timer is very good..

But when going back base.. I've become abit dumb. Instead of hooking the ropes to another side.. i hook onto the side which is so easy to go off.. and as the current so strong.. the strong snapped.. and hit my fingers. Wa.. tell you. ropes can kill people. =( Imagine i'm standing there and the ropes snap back to the boat.. think will fly off lor.. :( Thats a stupid and damn mistakes.

night shift tonight. Today crew comm super on. Sian. must do swee swee already.


Today driving again. Clash with dragon boat training. So... driving more important? Alright. Stall engine twice. =x outside road somemore. But today travelled till quite far.. to woodlands and sembawang park and back home. This time, up to gear4. He said 2 more times can go book for test already. =)

I'm missing you badly.



轻轻的尝一口 你说的我 还在回味给过的温柔

我轻轻的尝一口 这香浓的诱惑 我喜欢的样子你都有

你爱过头竟然答应我 要给我蜂蜜口味的生活

加一颗奶球我搅拌害羞 将甜度调高后再牵手

你的爱太多想随身带走 想你的时候就吃上一口

我温热着被呵护的感受 却又担心降温了要求

※我尝着你话里面的奶油溜啊溜 听过的每句话都很可口呦啊呦

 那些多余的画面全被跳过 你的眼中只有我

#我轻轻的尝一口 你说的爱我 还在回味你给过的温柔  

我轻轻的尝一口 这香浓的诱惑 我喜欢的样子你都有

*我轻轻的尝一口 你说的爱我 舍不得吃会微笑的糖果  

我轻轻的尝一口 份量虽然不多 却将你的爱完全吸收

我微笑着让香味停留 缘份走到这也赖着不走

像夹心饼干中间有甜头 继续下去不需要理由

Repeat ※,#,*

我轻轻的尝一口 你说的爱我 还在回味你给过的温柔

我轻轻的尝一口 味道香浓的说 我喜欢的样子你都有

Repeat *

<3


Sunday, December 02, 2007

Just got back home from shawn's house warming. Damn. Forced me to stay for 1 game of mahjong before i can leave. Haha. Won $1.20. =x Was nice seeing them.. especially Raj, the one whom I think never saw since... 2005? haha. Chatted on our way back.

Before house warming, had date with Bee. =) Watched Enchanted. Very nice la! =D must watch. 'There're really forever and ever.' =) Super cute.. especially the chipmunk. Shopped around with her... quite fun though. I'd rather walk up and down.. left and right just to acc her get the right stuff.. instead of just wait there. =) Had a great time. Especially during the movie.

Morning shift tomorrow. With my DTL. Doing the furtherest from the base. More choppy sea state.. hope won't rain. If not.. He asked me this when I came back to work after not working for so so long days.. 'Jeff, Still remember how to work?' haha.

Saturday, December 01, 2007

My night shift was doing sentry. Again. =( Damn boring. Didn't sleep till like 4 and rest till 6plus in the morning. While about to go off, Zach ( DragonBoat People) ask if I'm going down.. Told him i didn't bring any extra clothings. He gave me his shirts and pants man... And.. alright. Went for the training after work. But the fuck is.. The way he talks sometimes really discouraging. He said to my friend,' See, he so weak stil can tahan training, you so strong cannot.' Fuck.

For 2 weeks, I've never touched the paddle. Initially couldn't catch up with the pace but.. eventually, get used to it. I row till my both my hands went numb. All out. Even my breakfast roti prata going to come out. Good news is.. I'm told to go for the DragonBoat competition as a RESERVE.. And the bad news is... as a RESERVE. Afterall, I'm still new. Everytime I'm in the boat, I tell myself, I'll be better than the NS guys who were rowing for this year. They say dragonboaters got no life.. everyday train.. gym.. blah blah. Don't know why, I like the feeling of 'CHARGE!' in the water and go home with muscles feeling aching. Arms and body are aching now, especially my back. Everytime I finish rowing, I feel much stronger. Haha.
