Sunday, May 29, 2005:I M ON TV!
I M ON TV! in e channel U's show 'LOVE BITES'. n before u start bombarding me with questions, no i wasnt approached by the 2 cranky hosts and i wasnt 1 of the contestants. hahahaha. was at suntec yesterday wif clare and saw the telecast of the show at city link hmv. 1st time seeing such thing and was quite amazed when i saw how they filmed. while i thought e video process was 1 whole shot i was so wrong. they filmed, stopped n filmed again. this process took quite some time. realised that the hosts are no different from amy emcee. they juz intro the contestants n and uttered some rubbish to create atmosphere. hahaaha. have to say again that SINGAPOREANS R UGLY! the space that channel U was filming was quite small and there was a traffic jam in between the filming. they had to stop filming. but those stuck in the jam were shouting n bawling like hooligans. cant they be more patient? n there was this guy who shouted" might as well film in the middle of the road to create a traffic jam in the roads" hahhahaa. well, that may be true but cant people be more magnamanious? haiz.

just finished an exercise at Lim Chu Kang. nothing much happened. only was very tired from lack of sleep. stupid oc wanted the rebro people to practise setting up staions at 12 plus in the morning! ( e stations behave like e satelites of Singtel n no we r not setting up satelites juz antennas and stuff which suck a lot of energy from me) haiz. was really shagged after that. luckily got a bit of rest, not like seth, nicholas n wee poh who had to further walk while e rest were resting.

have to say that my company n bunk are getting more crowded with new people coming in. u know wad does that mean? it means i am going to ORD SOON! hahahhahah. hmmmmm..... aniwae, bon voyage to duane n zegui who are going to taiwan with the ocs. they r going to have fun man! hahhaaha. sighz.

was informed that most prob my coy people have to go to taiwan in august and then thailand in september! NOOOOOO..... haiz, this is still in the process of discussion n hopefully i just need to go to 1 of them.

last but not the least, GOOD LUCK N ALL E BEST to yvonne, wee poh n guangyi who are drivers-wannabe. n to wee poh, hope that e poles and e kerbs will spare u this time. hahhahaa. feeling stressed myself because my turn is coming soon. hope that i can hit the jackpot once n for all. hahhahaa.

went out for lunch yesterday with jun ming, liqi n joshua. so long never see them le. was in town and i saw a street performer who is only 6 years old. n he was playing the drum! A sign was put up "I m Ethan Ong. I m 6 years old and i know how to play drum since 2" WOW! talented young boy! God gives each and every one of us gifts and it is juz a matter for us to explore them and use them to the fullest.

saw an article last week and it provoked me and stirred up my feelings. this guy from A star agency was blasting all males in Singapore that we are whiny creatures who cant solve our problems but whine. Wait! that is a little too generalistic. firstly, i must point out that the majority of the scholars in that agency come from the supposed few top jcs in Singapore. secondly, isnt he and his colleagues the ones who choose the scholars? so after they chose the scholars and found out that they were not that good after all and start to blast them. hmmmm.... surely, they cant be the majority or be good yardsticks of how Singapore males are. sure, in army we complain (not whine) but put that aside i dont think that we males dont have brains to think of solutions. and in army, where officers just give out orders and the subordinates just accept. e brains are not used to the maximum, dont u think it should be fair to give us some time to get back the thinking cap after we have orded? and the 2 years in army can give some people to really think what they really want in life. isnt that better? and they can contribute to the companies that they enter to the fullest since those are the paths that they have spent 2 years deciding? come on, give the guys a break!

ya, anyway, my hands n throat are itching down. no mahjong and ktv since ages! sighz.
to all people who are going outfield and smell the greenery around you, good luckk, have fun! hahaha.

Friday, May 13, 2005:politics
apologies to all! i know that i have not been blogging so here's 1 more entry for u.

feel that i am actually quite blessed in camp. haha. well, because last week my platoon was involved in ex swift arrow. it was a course for the officers to learn tactics about warfare. i was paired up with rayner to man radio comms for 1 group of them. we went there on mon morning but was told to back to camp to rest cuz it was juz a planning phase and so came back again on tues. once our job had ended that evening, i was pleased again to be asked to go back camp to rest. our next duty was on wed nite 8pm and was expected to end at 4am. all of us were happie with e rest and had no qualms about staying up till dat time. but e twist to it all was e ex ended at 12 plus. i mean i cant believe it! by e time we packed up n stuff, i was on my bed at 330am. hahaa. and the officers that we are attached to are quite comical n funny. feel so relaxed.

was e driver too. drove a few times from mandai hill camp to ocs. felt quite shiok and happy that i was more confident in driving le. hahaha.

anyway, this week was supposed to be a rest week for my platoon cuz the ex this week candence. we are not involved, initially dat is. then came on tues the news that we are involved. i mean luckily it is in our own camp but i cant believe our job scope! we are supposed to sit by the telephones and when the telephones rang, we were supposed to take down e msg and passed them to e officers involved. BUT most of the time, e callers wanted to speak to the officers themselves! and e worse thing is i still have to ask them for e msg so that i can write them down for ref in e futurre if needed. i mean this is so STUPID! cant e officers ans e phones by themselves? arrrgggghhh. e army! luckily i only did on tues nite till wed morning. dats all. ( for ur info, e ex is nt over yet n sum of my frens are still by e phones! )

politics is such a big word! love-hate relationship with it seems to be always there. talk about this guy called N. he got posted into our camp together with e 8 of us. he is e only 1 who got A1 for gp in his A levels. n he is good in talking. as in talking in any sense and any realm. but i tink he is cunning. and wants e best for himself. he flirts with our superiors until they like him. he always volunteer when volunteers are needed.( that i appreciate A LOT) he does most of the things for reasons. like helping out in e stores and hit it out with the store people and master mary but realised that he cld nt be a storeman and so disappear from there. n just recently, he went to taiwan with 3 of my other friends together with our commanders for ex. he shared e same room with our paltoon commander. and started to bootlick. and he licked tille boots are so shiny till u can see ur teeth mark on it. n e worse is he said bad things about e 3 of them in front of him! i mean if u are our friends, u should support us and defend for us if need be. hypocrites, backstabbers just go away! he has not stepped on my toes yet but i dunno when e day will come.

n e thing about him recently is that i tink he knew about our responses and so slid back quietly. but i am still quite pissed at him. there was this day when our sgt asked for 4 volunteers. mi, rayner and don raised up our hands leaving juz 1 more. i juz stared at N since i knew he will definitely raised up his hand. but i tink his hand is juz too heavy or wad, take so damn bloody long to raise. he had to look around and hesitate dunno for wad reasons den raise up his hand. by the time it was too late and our sgt had to punish those who din volunteer. i mean dun act la. in my opinion, when any commander asked for n volunteers, n-1 hands are needed to be raised cuz e nth hand will definitely be his. so why act? juz raise up ur bloody hand la!

btw, he is 1 of e ugly ones who accepted and held on to all 3 local uni. nus-law. ntu-mass comm. smu-double degree. period.

anyway on a lighter note, haiz yes i have been going for facial to cure my acne problems and yes i noe it is not cheap. all my friends who knew have been laughiing at me. sighz. cant be bothered to argue with u guys, hahhaha. juz felt that it is personal hygiene la and no i m nt metrosexual. and feel that in time to come, when i have the other half i cannot be so selfish as to not take proper care of my hygiene rite? not fair to her la. hahahahhaa.

Sunday, May 01, 2005:opiniated mi!
saw mi friend's blog. here is wad she wrote, " there is a little bastard in every guy juz a matter of how much or when he wants to show it."

well.

there is a little bitch in every gal juz a matter of how much or when she wants to show it.

going back to camp later for guard duty. sighz. tmr marks the end of the syf competition and going back to camp. miss the laughter that we share in singapore conference hall. miss the food that they served. miss the toking cock session with shao peng, zegui, marcus, brian, guangyi etc. miss the waking-up-and-realise-that-u-r-at-home feeling. miss the bitching session about a guy who sleeps throughout his duty.

anyway all gd things muz come to an end. just hope that my life will be good if not better. hahah.

sometimes really wonder why am i the 1st born? why am i so smart? no i am not gloating here but i feel choked. i not blaming my dad here. he has a point as in brothers shld help one another up. but sometimes i feel suffocated, feel that time and tide does not waait for me. 24 hrs a day is really too little for me. ( in e weekends only of cos. for weekdays i hope time will fly like nobody's business) sacrificed a lot of my stuff for my bro but i dun feel appreciated. i mean i noe it is my responsibilty but still? u get my idea? sighz.

juz came back from steamboat session with my good frens- clare, zh, joleen n von. met emma n weilin earlier. had a good time chatting with em. dunno when i can play mj with them hahhaa.

well, can only say that i am going to be a busy person be it in camp or during weekends. juz hope that i am not falling ill. feeling immune to things around me. maybe cos i m living a life of ungodliness. haiz dunno la. can only say that i am earnestly waiting for a new chapter of my life to unfold. dunno when will that happen but i know that when that happens, i ll be very happy. hahah

anticipated.
