.. smile!

expensive expensive. went out on an all expense paid shopping trip with dad today, got a haircut done and a wind breaker from zara. quite nice quite nice, had to get an L instead of an M since it was all out of stock, would've been much nicer if it was fitted but then had to take layering of inner clothing to consider so its all good.

shitty week before this, shitty week the next, and a shittier week the week after next.

had some stupid jungle trekking thing, and i fell into a murky stream that was neck deep T___T there was a log across it as a bridge or some sort, wanted to jump on it then jump over to the other bank, but alas, slipped on the log, landed on the slope of the stream and slid back into it and doooomped into it. haha. was cursing and swearing man. 
the previous week, we had to trek through a black methane-stinky swamp that was up til knee deep in black murky rotting water. nice.

also, outfield biking. nearly died/fell a couple of times, thanks to me and fatfat's biking skills(or lack of..) no joke trying to pillion him man haha. was shaking like shit when we rode down the rocky downslope, had to use all my strength to keep us stable ha. then when we exited from the training area to the main road, i forgot to check the oncoming traffic before turning out, saw the oncoming car while halfway through that lane, then accelerated to evade it.. ha.
then misjudged the turning speed required when pillioning, hence approached the sharp turn too fast, really cut the corner at high speed man, tilted the bike til super low to the floor and managed to clear the turn without hitting the kerb. haha. that was quite a close shave. of course, he did his fair share of nearly killing me so its all good and fair.

been seriously physically exhausting. UWA interview next saturday, i wonder how.

pretty much meh at the moment, been over-sleeping too much to go out. just as well, will be able to save money. ha. hokkaido fair at isetan tampines was retarded, stupid, and a waste of money and time. sometimes, the intelligence of singaporeans seems to be really lacking. one father was screaming at his son not to follow him.. i wonder how he'll feel. he looked pretty sad though.

went to gym yesterday, saw many many beef steaks there. the number seems to have increased when all the new free barbells came in. lol. shit, must've looked like a total misfit there lifting 1.5kg versus their 150kg.. haha.

in other matters, got a new toy out of the blue. the bonus must be here already, which probably explains the sudden generosity. lousy market's a good chance to start entering though. but the diamond touch is really a little bit too complicated for me. gps, youtube, internet, wtf? troublesome shat. i'll never be able to fully utilize it man..


edit:

went out for dinner with bro and dad  at zen dining on sunday. still good still good.  saw the same gay guy we spotted when we went there before, the one with hair spiked in a towering fin... hahaha.  dad was so amused he wanted to take note of the time to buy 4d. haha. jokes.

its such a trouble getting my own certificate of no criminal convictions.. wth. need to bring a letter from the school, passport, ic, photo, fingerprints? wtf. and i went there with like absolutely nothing. to think that the civil service prides itself on like being paperless, wireless, efficient.. getting my own record will take 2 weeks and 50$. and im a freaking citizen, such services should be free no? and with everything turning biometric, myself and my finger should be more than sufficient. whats the point of making everything electronic and high tech if all you're going to do is turn a physical paper chase into an electronic one. lol. thumb print for the biometric scan? guess which finger i'll be putting.

was quite worried when i was in camp cuz my dear dog got into a motobike accident.. dad didn't close the gate, dog ran out, bro chased him, ran all the way to the main road and got rammed by a motorbike and flew to the road divider.. luckily he managed to escape with just a tire track mark on his fur, abrasions and a limp.. 

just tried to feed him his medicine and was really very amusing. bloody dog's damn smart, know when we're trying to feed him the medicine.. managed to catch him and i was tasked to squirt the medicine down his throat.. but i aimed wrongly(or rather he struggled) and i squirted him in his nose instead hahahaha. really very funny.

my dog, is really very very smart. 

anyway tomorrow sucks because i have cos duty on a saturday and i have to wake up at 530am(early!!!) and take public transport there, both of which i hate to the core.

hurhur. reached new levels of poverty with the purchase of a bag from projectshop. well, its water resistant and its a different colour from the ted baker one so its all good. variety is always good. hopefully, i won't end up as a bag whore.. i'm always very tempted to get new bags.

was fucking pissed when i booked in on monday the week before because my cupboard got attacked by rats. fucking bastards, it ate my small bottle of milk which i shouldn't have kept inside.. spilled it all over the middle section of my cupboard, which contained two pairs of spectacles, body wash toothbrushe and other stuff. threw the whole lot away because it was really seriously gross. the milk curdled, and the stench was crazy. i already dislike smelly cheese, but that smell could have turned me off every milk product for good. worse thing was, there were even small maggots! my god. that was the killer. and hence, bitch's present had to go too. =( cleaned up my cupboard for a good hour or so, scraped every single shit off, even the paint from the cupboard. ha. then scrubbed it all over again. still, i'm never going to use it again. the smell and the image of maggots all over, is enough to turn me off putting anything besides field equipment inside. 

and hence, am poorer because i bought a new cupboard. lol. as well as restocked on sanitary supplies, speaking of which, groceries are freaking expensive. bombed 50 bucks at NTUC despite picking out all the stuff on offer.. =(

in other matters, will be flying off to malaysia, redang for a beach holiday with the entire lam family. hopefully it'll be fun. though i missed out on a laser quest-like capture the flag challenge using TES equipment that my battalion organized.. was looking forward to taking part, but our match on thursday got postponed to today instead. oh wells. haha. was all set to be the platoon sniper =)

i do hope we win. first time seeing all the troopers so pumped up for action. would definitely be super chaotic. the 5 day off is of course, a very nice reward if we do win. ^___^

if i fly back on sunday i think i'll go make a pair of new specs. need one for outfield.

in other matters, got called up for Monash interviews on the 26th. need some help here lol. and divine intervention too.
