The Retrocession

If you who are growing up do not understand that you have got to defend this, then I say in the end we will lose. What a week. 5km runs and 6km runs. How happy I am to be the first to come back everytime. Yeah lah, now balls getting bigger already, because I am in my shape again. I will achieve my goal. I WILL. :D Being Course Platoon Sergeant for a week (and still is, till next week WTF). Being PS is definitely not an easy job, the only thing I enjoyed about it is to give welfare to my fellow soldiers and see them smile, and also shouting Malay commands around lah hahahahaha. Today is the last day of the year AD 2010. I can say, that this year, I matured. Someone said I became tamer . Some said I became darker . Some said I became fitter . Some said I became more rowdy . And some random asshole said I became hornier . But no matter what, this year is definitely a great year. I am surprised that I shed no tears this year, when actually more dramatic events h...

I like listening to songs in languages that I don't understand. Becuase if you don't understand the song you'll never find the song boring. I especially like songs with that ethnic touch feel to it. There is this song called Todas As Ruas Do Amor by Flor-de-Lis, a Portuguese folk music band, based in Portugal. (duh) Performing in a suspiciously psychedelic setting, the earnestly expressive vocalist, Daniela Varela is backed with percussion, guitar, cavaquinho, flute, and an accordion. Portuguese Lyrics Angmoh Lyrics S e sou tinta tu és tela Se sou chuva és aguarela Se sou sal és branca areia Se sou mar és maré-cheia Se sou céu és nuvem nele Se sou estrela és de encantar Se sou noite és luz para ela Se sou dia és o luar  Sou a voz do coração Numa carta aberta ao mundo Sou o espelho d’emoção Do teu olhar Profundo Sou um todo Num instante Corpo dado Em jeito amante Sou o tempo que não passa Quando a saudade Me abraça Beija o mar o v...

我是年青的卫国军 有的是满腔的热血 有的是精力充沛 相信我吧新加坡 我要用这股力量 献身予新加坡 我要把敌人消灭 相信我吧新加坡 The song a bit the 俗 right. Hahaha. But well, it's upon us to defend this nation, isn't it? Actually I preferred Singapore the way it was when I first appeared here: Take bus 30c only, using those magnetic farecards People wore those big square specs MRT Trains announced EVERYTHING in all 4 languages I play football barefoot with Malay kids, because there were so much green land back then! Playgrounds were more fun with sand, not plastic Bus didn't had aircon. I don't like aircon, very cold. Lessons in our time didn't have much stress! At least we had double-sessions, not like my poor brother who ends class at 2~3 everyday. And CCA was a free choice! Ah-ma buys vegetables at Provision Shops and Pasar, not NTUC... I detest changes. Hahaha. What to do? I'm aging. Last night happened to be at a friend's church. YOU ARE BORN WHAT YOU'RE MEANT TO BE. H...

The computers in SI is damn slow, my grandmother can run faster than it at the speed of light....... Shall update about the entire week. Had some fun during the weekends studying about Lines and Cables (for what? carry on reading...) Sunday went out with Kimyong and Katsun to buy Camera. At the same time looking at cute little salesgirls lah. Michelle Chong totally owned us by saying that she had no time for us. Well. What to do? :( Back into camp..... Do you know where is 亚妈宫 Ama Keng ? Ama Keng is somewhere I trained on Tuesday. The terrain there is...... horrible. Luckily I am not there to dig holes. Or I might as well just jump into the river when enemy comes. The Ama Keng Chinese Temple in Lim Chu Kang was built in 1900 to worship the holy mother, a goddess of peace and happiness. 亚妈 Ama means "grandmother" in Teochew and Hokkien, and 宫 keng means "temple". The first temple was made of attap. The temple was renovated in 19...

キラキラ水面に映る燃える光の赤や青や紫 胸を揺らす轟音夜空に咲きます一尺三尺弾けた 夏が終わっても来年もその先も五年十年経っても いつまでも貴方と一緒にと願って叫ぶ玉屋！ 鍵屋！ 見上げて見惚れて溶けた苺カキ氷流れて足濡らして ハンカチ出し拭いてくれた優しさ嬉しこっちを見ないでよね隅田川 夜空に咲く炎の華 先行く貴方の後ろ姿どうにもつまらぬ私の隣 。

我真的要用麻坡的华语， 来告诉你我sibeh suka你…… Got myself this Namewee's album. :D Life is tough in SI. Not the Infantry kind of tough. Infantry must wear all those gears and chiong into the forest. How fun. Signals must remember a lot of theory and apply a lot of these skills into actual practice. Will sound more relevant to life, but I really don't like it. Guess so much ranting can't help with anything, I just got to put my heart down to Earth and do it. Congrats to 3SG Norman Lee for achieving Golden Bayonet for his Medical Corps Specialist Course. Good luck to him and wish him all the best. People enlisted into Army 2 months later than me, and graduated 3 months earlier than me. Life's a joke. Especially you ORD in 2011 and the rest of the course graduates in June 2012. Entwined in stress. Just like how I did seizing and reef knots on cables for the past whole week. 永遠等待 那一日 咱可以出頭天 人生不怕風浪 只怕自己沒志氣 那一日 咱可以出頭天 我盼望的日子 會真快 來到我身邊 We shall see how it ...

Popping bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin' slizzard Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Anyone knows what the hell is a G6? I only know G6 in Army terms: people who care for our safety yo. Boring.... Boring Life.......

The computer here are rather dumb. Dumb in a sense that they display Chinese characters as random squares. How stupid can they get. Even my non-Chinese friends recognise the difference between the character ONE and TWO and THREE. The course so far is brain-draining. Going to die of brain exhaustion soon. Remember the days, where we did things like these in the forests.... (this is outside Suntec City anyway haha XD) Vietna mese Food FTW~~~

Well, finally got time to sit down and update myself on this rather siong week. And I've only got 30min to do so, 'cos I am needa go Novena at 11, go back to camp to put down my things, and then go exercise and study. Monday morning went Bt Indah with Yuhung. Normally when I go out alone I don't eat in restoran, so can say is 托他的福 lah, we went to eat some Chinese herbal soup which is very nice. Very very nice. Chinese medicine FTW~~ Then we went to eat Secret Recipe. I love their Mango cakes. I ate two slices. Which is actually not enough normally, but since I ate 3 bowls of rice for the Chinese medicine, it's okay. I'm getting seriously FAT . At night went to crash NJ Prom '10 with Yuhung and Ka Tsun. Ka Tsun damn popular among girls sia hahahaha And his picture all long damn funny hahahahahaha And this is NJ Prom Queen ! She deserve it I think lah. By the way, she's a Gan. Hmm. Maybe next year Haoqing can carry on the Gan legacy hahaha....

In half an hour, I will be at my New Workplace: Signals Institute (SI) Wonder what will happen there. More outfields please. And for you kids out there, don't anyhow OOC leh, you are soldier leh. The Prom Night was fun, and so was the day after. And I am very tired, I love my bunk bed more.

放て！心に刻んだ梦 を未来さえ置き去りにして 限界など知らない 意味无い！ この能力が光散らす その先に遥かな想いを 立ち止まると 少しだけ 感じる切なさに 途惑ううことないなんて嘘はつかないよ 空に舞うコインが描く 放物线が决める运命 打ち出した答えが今日も 私の胸を駆け巡る 信じてるよ あの日の誓いを It will be. Definitely.

Spending weekend evenings at BPP Starbucks and Lot One McDonald's for a few weeks. Trying to pick up on my drawing and some basic archi fundatmentals before going there in 2012. (ONE MORE YEAR TO ORD!!!!!) 都讲了我要搞Conservationism. 总得练一下吧。 有一点点小成就啦。 When it comes to non-fiction books, Taiwan books are always better. 繁體字FTW~~ There's supposed to be much more (and mostly in English), but I felt the sketches were too cui. Better not to upload lah. Hopefully in the enxt one year things may get better?

Friday was an awesome day. And so is Saturday. Friday left home at morning, went to Bishan play Jubeat. 5.89..... Levelling up soon..... I'm this now. Moving on to Giraffe soon. SOME ADDICTION YO. Ok. Then went on to Pulau Belakang Mati. Which is Sentosa Island. Haven't been there since.... Mar '09. A lot of development. A lot nicer and beautifuler. But also a lot more expensive. Like a bottle of Coca Cola costs $3 . OMG. But it's definitely good to bring your own food and drinks. And I walked into the island (smuggled actually), so I didn't spend a cent in Sentosa at all. Past:   Now: 真是风和日丽的一天啊。 Then got very interesting buskers performances:   But then it started to pour heavily. :( So went on to walk around Resort World. Never go before, very BIG PLACE indeed. The Coffee Bean is good. I've always enjoyed Coffee Bean compared to Starbucks. More cozy. And anyway I'm not a fan of coffee. ...
