As usual, another day without work really bores the hell outta me. So i decided to ask Max out today ( although he lives directly opposite me and i see him almost everyday) to head down to a toy store to take a look. The nearest one to us was Toys’r'us in Tampines mall, so we decided to head down there since we haven’t been there for some time, despite the fact that we live in Tampines.  We used to go down to TM almost everyday after school in the past though. During secondary school days actually,  for lunch or to study. But that was history. 

No wait, I shouldn’t go off course. Yeah.. I was like “Geez, these are what kids are playing these days?” when i first walked into Toys’r'us. RC helicopters, RC Cars that can do stupid unbelievable things, RC these and that. And super awesome Transformers™ toys like Bumblebee™ and Optimus Prime™, yay! I mean, i didn’t recall playing such things. I’m 20 this year and i ain’t that far from being a kid. though i stopped playing toys when i was about 10. But i think these are too awesome gadgets to be handled by kids!! Hah!! 

Yeah right Transformers™, my time was still Power Rangers™ and Ninja Turtles™. How interesting.. Anyway, me and max walked over to the “Super Soaker” section. We did expect it to be pretty huge, but it wasn’t. I remember Super Soaker being really really popular last time. There were like soakers so HUGE, like so much taller than an average kid. But they all disappeared!! 

Then we realised, KIDS aren’t playing with water guns anymore. Instead, they are playing with plastic guns that shoot off foam ammo. WOW.. Yeah WOW. It even shoots further than the Supersoakers™… T.T Me and Max settled for an better Supersoaker™ which was really really cheap. I remembered it being pretty expensive, but it’s only 20 for an good one, so why not? 

Yup, We put it to good use directly after leaving the carpark of TM. Hehe Well, you can guess. My arms are all sore now from the pumping of Supersoaker. Hah! 

Here’s my Supersoaker™( With my keyboard missing a Ctrl button) :

Besides that, we went kite flying and boomerang throwing this afternoon . Boomerang, which really came back to me after i threw it about 12319087 times. Tsk. Sometimes i really wonder how max is gonna lead this kinda life till October 6th. Hmmm

Yes everybody, my Web admin has helped me set up a facebook account a while ago, but i haven’t got the chance to use it until recently. I’m not exactly a fan of social networking sites, but i figured using facebook would greatly keep me in touch with you guys. I believe my web admin has added some of you guys who commented on facebook yeah? Yeah, that’s me alright So keep a lookout on what’s gonna be updated. I’m still trying to figure how to use facebook properly, so pardon me.  

And yes, i have a twitter account as well, but i’m only going to focus on how to use facebook first before i try to confuse myself further with twitter, though i don’t think it’d be that difficult. 

Okay, so it’s Sunday now alright, and i’m still awake. Anyway, i WAS supposed to play baseball yesterday afternoon. Baseball, a dying sport in Singapore. I mean, who plays baseball nowadays? I guess you’d never figure how i even got to Kallang diamond to see people pitch. 

It was Max, who got so freaking bored during the holidays he decided to catch up with some stranger and do something conducive. Yea, turned out, it was baseball. As promised, i tagged along with him with 2 other guy friends of mine to Kallang diamond. It was total boredom. No wonder Homer J. Simpsons always disliked baseball. 

And I’m serious. Ended up, only Max and Stephen stayed there to pitch or whatsoever. I ended up playing soccer with Ben and meeting up with Benny. So if anyone wants to find something worse than boring, Baseball’s the sport for you.

Hey guys! I was actually back on the 19th, but i wanted to wait till my pictures were all uploaded before blogging this. Well, it’s was an awesome trip to Kota Kinabalu, i spent a total of 4 nights there , 2 days for diving, 1 day for water rafting, and R&R on the last day before my flight back home.

Had a total of 3 dives outta 4 over the past 2 days, missed one cause i wasn’t feeling well due to my sinus resulting in me not able to equalize. Yeah i was sad alright, although everyone said that the last dive was the best one. Hah!

Here’s a video edited by my beloved bro DK:

He spent a total of 5 hours getting it up. Shank you very much!!

Here’s the clique whom i went with:

Very very funny bunch. And how can i miss out my hairstylist Joanne? She’s the one in black:

Pictures taken at the water rafting site:

Alright, at this point, I decided i’d post more pictures without commenting on anything as I’m begining to find myself irritating.

For the rest of the pictures of what we saw during the trip, click below to go into the album!

Alright, as promised i said i’ll be back to blog once i finished my reservist. So, here i am, back home safe and sound. After finishing my national service for more than a year, this was the first in-camp training i had. It was a pretty fun experience though, although my whole body was aching on friday, even till now after running my IPPT. 

It was really nice being back to camp, nothing seemed to have changed much. And my platoon is still as fun as ever, hah! I think guys tend to mature more after  finishing their service, but back at camp everyone’s pretty much a kokster again. Haha! i JUST had to use this term.

And to be honest, nobody really gives a damn about anything no more. Nobody marches to anywhere else or shaves everyday. Basically half the people have their hair  long and even the officers don’t care. Haha!!  And me myself, i woke up later than 9am more than half the time and nobody bothered to wake me up. 

Well, i think i’ve been too used to my aircon and i’ve been pespiring a lot in camp, maybe it was the weather. But again, i think i’ve been leading too good a life. 20 over guys in once bunk filled with nonsense, haha. See you guys next year~!!

Okay, back to the topic of Kota Kinabalu. Been some time since i dived, I’m leaving soon and only coming back on the 19th i suppose. So be sure to keep a lookout if i post any photos. Havent been to KK before but i heard it’s a pretty good dive site. Cant wait to see for myself.

That’s right. Sorry if i havent been able to update at all. Been busy filming and rehearsing for the charity event which i believe most of you have caught just now.

Finally we’re over and done with it after so many weeks of training. Well, it was worth the effort i should say. Seeing the amount of money donated really made me glad. 

Reservist.. I can still remember the day i went operationally ready. 6th may 2008. It’s been more than a year and I’m finally going back to see my comrades. Hah! After the rehearsal for the event yesterday, i actually chanced upon my platoon mate. Gosh i have to say we all really looked different with normal hairstyles and plain clothes. I missed him though, and i didn’t actually realise that yesterday. 

Well, i’m seeing him tmr. And the rest of the guys. Gee how i miss those days when there’s nth to worry about at all besides your physical fitness. HAHA!! I’m signing off. Gonna need the rest. I’ll be back, in a week. And to tell you about my holiday trip!! hehe!
