Bah, i haven't really got the time to blog much.

 

Considering utterly unstable internet access as one of the most pressing issues in brunei, hahahaha... i guess its quite hard to even getting online. Time is passing quite swifty... i must say.. even more of my friends are leaving. Their understudies dun seem to make the cut. Hmmm i think the dept is in destruction. But not that i really have time to care.. im fighting another front alone. An endless paper trail awaits me....

 

As the time goes by... god... let is be afew days later... its only 2 months left in borneo for me. =)

 

I wonder how everyone is doing back in sg.

 

My sis just bought lotsa stuff from Europe... zzzzzz im jealous.

I want to go Europe also!!!

 

But first... i think there are quite a number of things i must address once i head back to sg.

 

Driving for example.

God i feel like crappy for not being to mobilise a motor vehicle. I guess its a lifeskill that everyone acquires at a certain age. more like 20-21.

 

For some weird reason, im having some craving for Dim Sum now...... hahahaha

 

And mango sago! =(

 

Curse Ah chews for closing on me.

 

Ahhh back to work,

Till next time.

GOd....I slept at 2 am and woke up at 6....

Haiz...

I guess i just dun want to leave Sg... =(

The thought of 3 months in brunei ... doesn't scare me..but i guess i will just miss my house, my bed, my friends, my family, my maid (yes my maid).... haiz.. i dunno la. Its disturbing.. i just cannot sleep.... flying alone on the plane is just plain disturbing.

 

Oh well... i guess im going off...in less than 8 hours time...

I hope the camp did arrange for transport.... and i need to prepare my accomodation for the day... -.- Ahhh im scared sleeping alone!!!! =(

 

Bah, whatever, you know what yen, you are 20 and grown up now. Act like one. =P

 

OMG AND MAS SELEMAT IS CAPTURED? LIKE WTH.. AND IN MSIA... OMG OPS OVL WAS LAME LA... -.- I cannot believe we did sooo much to prevent him from escaping the country... whatever la.. he is caught.=P

Ahhh ate Tao yesterday with chio and ryan....

Once again, i state again. It has been sooo long. God i miss em.. =D

Updates.... chio is still in the band... having the typical slacky band life. Ryan is having a slacky life in tengah airbase being a clerk/storeman/technician... ok... in simple word... saikang king. Im sooo glad we are having a not bad NS life in whereever we are... its quite hard to ask for that.. and we all never go through much hardship... lol (no BSLC, OCS nonsense) ahahahahaha. Cheerios to the MAN (i really mean men, Cpl and Lcps) of the army. With guys like us serving the nation, how can it fall? (it can crumble though. =P)

We went to Paradiz, now newly christened as Po-mo... prolly taking a jab at post-modernism. As usual, we talked, and talked and talked and talked... chio was acting really retarded at times... and also telling us of some juicy gossips from his camp... ryan on the other hand was just talking about how slack the airforce was..Ooo and the food at tao was great... as always. =D Chio was playing with his food though... (burning toothpicks with the tealight from the chocolate fondue. -.-)

 

And we all notice how we seldom meet up anymore. =( Ahhh i always felt welco was more .... united in some sense?

Ahhhh...

 

Oh and i just busted 400 bucks....on a bag. Muahahhahaa.

Spent monday with my fav lovey dovey couple. Liwei n Hongyi. I guess they never fail to make me smile with their bubbly couple bliss. Sometimes i wonder when am i going to have my own lovey dovey couple time. Hmm thats another story for another day. =D

 

On monday,

I had dinner with the lovebirds (as usual, im the major gooseberry again.) at bugis.... at crystal jade... that crystal jade that welco went the last time.. =/ Kinda weird feeling but oh well.... its sooo nice to see them sooo bubbly and happy. Liwei just finished with the sem + exams and Hongyi just resolved starlight and high-noon. No wonder they are happy... as for me.. i guess just looking at them makes me happy. Im finally home with friends. =) Had tons of little xiao long baos. God i love the vinegar and ginger combination. These little dough things made in SG totally put the bruneian ones deep in gastronmic shame. The dumpling noodles were delightful too...nice crunchy prawns. Mmmm... had nice conversations aplenty. God i miss these guys. Its nice trading insights on recent happenings and musings. And shaken thoughts and prospects. bahbah... the list goes on. Good conversations.. something that my mind has been lacking in brunei. Liwei and hongyi were lamenting/bitching/talking/complaining/bemoaning about many things... from engineering, to cars, to ready to strike. LOL... you get the idea. Upon ending our delightful dinner, we headed to the main reason why we went to bugis. Its was becoz of a secret saccharine craving of mine. I needed some ah chews...!!! We had some trouble navigating around the area. Illuma wasn't help in illuminating our way there... in fact it was more of a hinder block that misorientated us... 3 months that im away and POPs a new building in bugis.. wow. I guess the national development board is overdoing itself. The post-modern look of Illumna was also not in any way endearing to most eyes.... illiciting a "ewww" or "huh" response as a first impression. God i hope my buildings dun turn out like that.

Ok, illuma aside, when we finally did get to ah chews, i guess fate decided to play us out..... AH CHEW WAS UNDERGOING RENOVATIONS.... until friday... which is incidentally the day im leaving. What news! Horrid for my mood and stomach, traumatizing for my tastebuds. I really needed that mango sago... zzzzzzzzz. I gues liwei and hongyi were dissapointed too... but i guess i was severely affect... i came all the way to eat THAT... grrr. Bah... in the end we just decided to settle for NYDC... mudpies... for some reason i still insist that the mango sago pwns those mud pies. there goes my craving... =( Had even more conversations at NYDC... ... until the time was up.... headed to SASA to play with some perfums and scents.. at the same time.. figuring which scent would suit mr hongyi. I guess its time to scent him up!~ Took a long MRT ride home... kinda sad that the outing was ending. =( Its going to be some time before i get to see them again.

 

Sometimes i wish that things can just come to a standstill.

 

Wouldn't it be nice? (no its no a cadbury ad)

Had a nice day with neng.

It has been soo long.

Urgh i think im using that phrase too much. Oh whatever.

Had a nice delectable lunch at Waraku @ Marina Square. He insisted on treating me. Hahaha. I shall not undermine an officer's decision i guess?

It was during that lunch that I realised how old we had become... its already 2 years since JC.... and 4 years since sec 3... hahaha i guess this friendship of mine has come a bloody long way. Its kinda rare to find ppl that have this common understanding. Ahhh... you know what neng? We grew older. Hahaha.. 20 now. Apalling. Shell-shocked that im no longer in my teens. Should that be an issue? Hmm i think not. But i must admit i totally miss the days were we were the go-back-home buddies... god.. since sec 3!!! Nostalgic. BaH. Lunch was great.Chatted about the future and whats prolly the next step in our lives... obviously uni... but i guess i have more plans than just that. 

 

 It soon evolved into a search for a new digicam after lunch. Furious that i have to share digicams in the family, i sorta decided that its time to get one for myself. After all, ever dilligent camwhore here. =P Funan was great!!! But we still remained empty handed. I guess we had too many inhibitions about the prices and value-for-moneyness (should that be a word) Ended up having some kaya toast @ Yakun.. I sorta made a resolution to myself that i had to consume some nice fluffy kaya toast before i embark on my gastronomically-perilous journey to brunei - again. Seriously, im dying from bad food most of the time there. Bidded farewell on the MRT. See you in august! (that if i do come back in august..)

 

Dinner was spent at NYNY with my sec 2 BFF. He recently got revocated at a medic!! tons of horror stories about IVs and more IVs... ahh i think that medics really have issues with that particular part of the course... in any case, congratulations on finally receiving a vocation. The conversations were mainly revolving around military mumblings and talk. Nice mushrooms... hmm i shall make a mental note about it. 7 more months to ORD.. im starting to see the light. =P

 

Meeting more friends..

Brings up a fuzzy feeling.

=D

God i feel soooo alive!

 

I touched down in SG @ 1st may 2100 hours.

 

And yes, the Singapore air is great..... sure beats BSB any day.

 

Started my retail therapy since i touched down..

 

Hahahaha.... it has been a loooong time since i really shopped.

Got a nice scent from issey miyake. Hahaha... i love its androgynous appeal.

Went out in the afternoon to chill on my own...

absorb some city essence... and start to appreciate the urban landscape... its really nice as compared to BSB which is obvious suffering from urban decay. Had chippys and bubble tea... hahaha something that i cannot get in brunei. Went to borders and kino... got 200 dollars worth of books to satisfy my intellectual thirst for knowledge. Hmmm finally getting hold on that book on form and space... scaryness that a small book like that costs 50 bucks... urgh. But oh well... the info is worth it. Hopefully these tomes of expensive information can tide me through university. And hopefully all these efforts in reading and researching reaps its rewards.

 

meet up with my dear 6G peeps.

God, i missed them.

Finally some peope that actually understand whatever im saying. I guess its inevitable that most ppl in camp are totally off my wavelength. Haizzz... The chocolate was good... but i guess some of em just couldn't take sooo much of it... Hahahaha (sorry kiat, i know you didn't enjoy the chocs. =P) Ahhh but i guess that the ambience was worth every nickle. Its sooo... nice and soothing and the constant flow of iced water and tea... along with little delightful chocolates. hahahahaha... the table sorta split into 2 groups... the military group and the uni group... god... sometimes i feel really wedged in between. But its nice seeing people discusssing about their future and inhibitions and worries... and of course the occasional military whining. Glad to see everyone doing well. Its sure a contrast from what i see in camp.... perhaps my uni life will be like that also. hahaha. Hopefully....

 

In the mean time..i need to research more... hmm.. i have this ridiculous gut feeling that im going to do more interior architecture in the future.. or at least theres where my interest is skewed towards. But irregardless... i still have to do the whole package.... which in some sense... is freakin me out. Hahahaha, notes on static and active loads, wind stress, seismic stress... god... its like physics all over again. On the artsy side, we have things like history and colour theory. Hmmm.. i think im heading in the right directions.. or at least i hope so. I guess its a subject for me... for once... i can do a beautiful hybrid of arts and science.

 

Ahhh, busted 400 bucks... mostly on books and a pretty prezzie for my mum. Hope she likes it. =P

 

Hmm life goes on...
