ex beaver venture

just reminiscing the past. i really did enjoy my time in army and all the outfield. if only my back wasn't scewed up.

well, a little background about this excercise. it was the last excercise as a cadet. Our instructors constantly reminded how it was going to feel just like hell. it was a 4 or 5 day excercise(i can't remember) and we were given rations equivalent to 1 biscuit a day. great! so the first day was a couple of lessons and stuff and the real shit began the next day. we had to complete 6 missions as fast as possible. out of the 4 teams, the first team to finish would not have to do any packing or clearing up with extra incentives such as chicken rice on the last day.

here's a short video that was done by one of our entrepreneurs who recently just purchased his own condo in mountbatten.

it was supposed to be so easy

Today has been a great day. SO many things happened.

Well, first of all, it's Megan's birthday today. She's my goddaughter. I think she's 5. haha. Got stuck in the jam on the way to school and was late for my lecture. The lecturer went through some tutorial questions and then it was time for our quiz... where we had to prove this monster/demon...


if it looks familiar, it just finding the height difference between a tube attached to a bulb after a change in temperature. and looking at that picture, it seems like just primary school stuff, only 3 numbers (1,2,3), 1 triangle, and a couple of letters (A, B, g, h, m, v, t). i fought the beast for 30 minutes and earned my 12 marks.... ahhhh, such satisfaction. so most probably have 20/25 for the test. yahoo!

After that was my singapore society tutorial, where my tutor, who's also the co-lecturer, said she noticed that i use the forums often (1 mark in the bag) and later commented on my excellent summary of a reading which i haven't read (another mark in the bag). So after tutorial, andrew, gan and i went to the cheese prata shop to have lunch. Unfortunately that's when i realised that my wallet wasn't with me. Panicked like hell! Actually, i was more interested in eating my mutton bryani than looking for my wallet. So we had a quick lunch, and headed for the car where i found it. Phew...

Had an extremely boring lecture after that and then headed to the library to study for a bit. As i was driving home, i realised that i'm such a lucky fuck. why? because gillian loves me. :) what a great day.

time flies

yes it does. it's already a week and i can't believe it's over. school's moving too fast. i have only just started doing my tutorials and only if i have the solutions with me. revision still not done. sigh... staying at home isn't too good. can't find a proper place to study and travelling home everyday just makes you want to relax. i miss studying in the library, in the air con, all quiet.

nothing much happened this week i guess. school school school. actually i enjoyed my singapore society tutorial on monday. nothing like not preparing for a tutorial but still feeling like it's so easy. don't get that in engineering.

welcome to one of the most boring blogs around... not as boring as gillian's coz i have that cool map on the right!

ok la. not so boring. here are some photos

Lambo stuck in morning jam with me.... hahahaha


Hwa Chong cricket? trying to bluff who? you can speak mandarin ah


salmon ceasar salad at dan ryans. damn nice


Bastard in train. the guy in green. put his fucking bag there dunno for what. then nobody can sit down. all the time looking at his shit phone dunno doing what fuck. even the pregnant lady stand in front of him still never do anything. i finally just got up from my seat and put his bag on the floor and sat in that seat. fucker.

don't have my laptop with me. sent it in for servicing as the battery life wasn't too good and they called back saying that i have to change my motherboard which would take 3 weeks.

have to get around to organising the rover crew. still not sure whether the guys are interested in joining and it's almost been 2 months since i've updated alphonsus. feeling a little bad about it.

have to do my boat prac thingy again too. haven't booked my test date. sigh... just too content with doing nothing. like looking out of my window. or being on the computer. i want to play need for speed... hmmm...

missing gillian.

beautifullest girl in the world. love you babe
