Went to Town with Sam and bought a pair of shoes. The shoe I bought is part of the project (red), so part of the money earned from the shoe will go into the charity fund. I went around to source for my watch as well, then i felt in love with another new watch. I guess my wishlist will nv be completed. Arrhhh... I've learn to control myself alrdy!!
Book-in at night for work the next day. Work in camp just doesn't allow us to clear our leaves in paece. Arhh...When M I going to ORD ?!?!?
30/12/08
Been working the whole morning. Travelled here and there and only manage to get back in camp at about 2pm. I was only out of camp at 2.25pm and I need to rush off for my medical appointment @ 2.55pm. Apparently, I can't reach NUH on time with bus. The cab just doesn't show up when u need them the most and cluster all over the place when they are not required.
In the end, I still overshot the timing by a little. The whole appointment ended at 4+. I had dinner at home and was rotting all the way after that. I just wonder what m i going to do tml for the last day of 2008. Time passes real fast, 2009 is jus 2 days later. Hope many many more luck will come to me at 2009. Hahahaha...

I forced myself up @ 6.55am in the early morning for that unwanted SD company cohesion. With 4hrs of sleep the previous night, I was half awake while travelling on the train. The journey was faster than what I've expected and I saw some of our company guys waiting at the train station when i reach Kallang. The Cage is a damn ulu place which u can barely find it even when you take a cab there. One day, if you happen to be there locating the place, remember that its at the area with red buildings.
Unexpectedly, a boring cohesion turned out to be an enjoyable 1 for me. Edmund suggested on forming a team among ourselves with mixture of different platoon's spec. Then, the team was set up by me and Edmund and it was suppose to be named "Low Wall Flag" because it was formed mainly by C4 and CEDI and the name was extracted from our vocation logo. But all thanks to Dinnie(organiser of soccer), he only remembered 'Low Wall' so we were written as 'Low Wall' on the board.-_-
A random photo taken with/by Clement...
Throughout the whole competition, we lost 2 games and they were the finals and our 1st game against weapons team2. After our 1st lost, we thought we are already out of the competition. Amazingly, we still survived made it through to the finals. We couldn't believe that we defeated weapons team2 when we were against them during the semi finals. Its quite unbelievable that we made it to the finals because our team is really anyhow from anywhere. hahaha...
1 determined player from Low Wall that i must mention isBaoYiPow Wee, he sprained his leg quite badly from 1 of the game and was limping after that. He was escorted home by the vehicle of John(Merc) and Seow("Lorry") after the event because he's riding his bike with a limping leg.
I was also down with some leg injuries aft those soccer matches but not as bad asBaoYiPow Wee.~_~
The whole event ended @ about 1pm and we took a Low Wall group photo after that.
LOW WALL + OC (Thanks Clement for taking the shot when we were closing our eyes -.-)
Seow(Low Wall promising striker) was nice to tongpang me to Bukit Timah with his yellow "Lorry". Thanks Seow!
I took bus back from Timah and spent rest of my day sleeping and slacking with my aching leg. Arhh...

First of all, Merry Christmas to all!!!
Went for a movie with JH and Din today. We were deciding what to watch in the afternoon. The movies that were in our mind were 'Yes Man', 'Ip Man', 'The Bedtime Stories' and 'When the world stood still'. We decided to watch Ip man because JH just miracle-ly convinced Din to a chinese film. I just wonder what did he say to him.oO
Meet up early and walked about in PS then got into the theatre withmy our snacks. Both of them were munching happily with the snacks in the theatre. -_-
The film was just as what was rated, it was a very solid film that u should watch. Even a malay guy like Din appreciated it. haha..
Omg..look @ how JH obsess on Lin ZhiLing..
The Big tree outside PS..
Thanks Din for all these "clear" pictures.
JH..
Me..
After the show, we took some pictures with the decos outside PS and had our late dinner then ciao home.

Last week have been a shopping week for me. Went around town and bought quite many items. Many places were having sales like nobody business. My wishlist was shortened and some items in list i hope i could really get it soon. Items such as watch and card holder. A Guess watch in vivo caught my eye and I'm still considering because the price of it is abit steep.
SHOP SHOP SHOP ~~~~~!!!
I'm down with a bad flu this week. It is quite a bad time to fall sick during festive season because u wouldn't be able to enjoy the nice festive dishes. Fortunately, after seeing the doctor yesterday, I felt a lot better today. The medication works efficiently on me and i'm actually typing with a drownsy mind now. All the medicine that I was given causes drownsiness.
DROWNSY DROWNSY DROWNSY~~~!!!

Woo..last week was a long week of painful training. Been slammed by ppl and slamming ppl all over the place. Enduring the aches and injuries were part of the training too. I've been moving around with bodyaches for the whole week and my jaws nearly dropped from 1 of the slam. -.- You'll really need to find a partner thats abt the same size as you and not anything bigger than u. Otherwise, u'll have difficulties executing some of the moves and most probably get more injuries.
Although training was shag, its still quite fun and interesting to learn all the fighting techniques. There'll be an advance training few months later, jus hope i dun break my bones by then..
Weekend duty wasn't that bad. I was in front of the TV most of the time and less things to worry about when there's no one in camp =)
Life in camp seems super super long, I just hope that I could that ord angel could pick me up soon. The chiong sua phase is coming soon and I'll be leading a new bunch of babies for tt phase. Please send all the healthy and well-being people to me. Whahaha..
Counting down to Christmas, Gifts and leaves! Hohohoho...
