- 2:17 AM I realise that my blog has been dead for a long time and its time to practise on my written english. After serving NS for a very very very very very.. long time, i realise to my dismay that my standard of spoken english has deteoriated. Its hard to form coherent sentences in my head and the words come out in a jumble or stutters, which is bad. Perhaps its time to speak proper english. The exposure to good spoken english in my camp is very very very very.... low. Sadly, i am reduced to using the word 'very' to try and describe the frustration and vent out the anger in me. Surprisingly, i am seldom that angry/frustrated at anything but serving NS lately, hasnt been an enriching experience as they strive to make it sound to be. (the last sentence is a bit weird, but i hope u get the point being the intellegent readers you all are :P)
Anyhow, its 220 am just so everyone knows and i cant get to sleep even though i have to wake up at 6am to make my way to esplanade area for our unit out-camp run. yep, we are going to run in singlets and shorts near the esplanade and shears bridge. Lucky there isnt likely to be any chance of anyone (hopefully) who would catch me in such a state. So perhaps, the likelihood of anyone reading this before 6am in 4 hours time is really really really.... very very very... low. (to say the least)
sigh
i guess its time to sleep. i will probably blog soon. ahaha, anything between 1 hour and 1000000000... years. but one things for sure, i will blog. soon. maybe.
P.S. somehow the tagboard is down, and i cant be bothered to put it up anytime soon.
sleep well.

Is it true? well.. try it! http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.How do you view success:
Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

haha, im back after a long hiatus. I have been rather busy lately, mostly home, pertaining to games and stuff. Yea, its block leave now, and would last till 2 May and i already have NOTHING to DO.
Well, anyway today i went with seng to look for an elusive studio, as in band studio, jamming studio etc in commonwealth area. Somehow we spent the whole afternoon combing the area to no avail, and ended up drinking much teh tarik, kaya toast, apple aloe vera... Finally we came upon the exact location where the studio, this studio, USEd to be. Yep, it moved to IMM, and it was definitely frustrating to say the least.
So off to IMM then, not letting our initial failure discourage us. We went there, looking for shop directories to help us, which were placed rather hidden right next to the lifts. So we went abt to comb the whole second third floors of IMM again in ever expanding circles, (pretty much the same strategy we used to commonwealth area)., which wasnt very efficient., needless to say. So, we found nothing, actually, not exactly nothing, but the music stores in IMM were either closed down, or non-existent, hence nothing.
And thus, a day was used fruitfully by doing absolutely nothing consequential whatsoever. Another 10 odd more days to go..
The night was spent rather well at wisma atria with my parents and sister where we had some pretty good food at a food court at the top of.. wisma atria. After which we proceeded to go to Taka, where i found a rather nice book, title of blindness, author of which i cant recall, literary nobel prize winner, however not finding it convincing enough to purchase.. YET. Thus ending an uneventful day in the life of me.. well not really.
the night went on where dotar games were played, much dotar games., in fact two games, rather challenging ones, satisfying nonetheless.
yep. I'll probably blog more abt my block leave. Probably as in i wont go so far to say i would actually guranttee an entry, but judging from the lack of things to do, yea i probably will.
anyways, its 3am and its time to sleep.
Night all.

It was an interesting day today. Made a trip down to library@esplanade the practice room, havent touched a classical piano in ages, must talk without making sentences and/or coherent erm, wording. wordings. k. anyway, theres this mosaic festival going on, din really see much, could be not timing.
ok enough of lose english.
Its amazing how my biological clock has been screwed by the work shift this month. The thought of doing another 2am-10am shift is just pure torture. i made up for the lack of sleep by sleeping from 10am-12midnight though, so in a way, i actually get more sleep than usual. My body still feels tired for some reason. haha.
MACHOMACHOMACHOMACHO.
k macho enough.
time to slp

Today just booked out in the morning then tomorrow morning have to book back in!! ARGH.. much orderly duties..
haha but last week i spent most of the week booked out anyways so ahha. well done. much lan.
Ya. On feb 14th, our company had nights off.. so all of us sad and lonely guys have to go play lan ahhaa CANNOT MAKE IT LAR!! but ya we played a LOT OF LAN. tues,wed,thurs, lol k. much lan. Then on thurs my PS said.. eh daniel, tml stay back do orderly..
argh.
Now you wonder why we are sad lonely and single. WE ARE NSFs. NATIONAL SERVICE FULLTIME. TOO MUCH ORDERLIES K.
oh. but i was able to read this book in camp. Tony Parson's 'Man and boy'. its abt this guy who "makes a mistake" with a girl at work. He then loses his wife and his job and becomes a single parent-all in the space of a few days. As he learns to bring up his son alone he starts to appreciate, among other things, the father-son bond, and he begins to realise what makes his own father so special. Its also touches on the complexities of modern relationships and how relationships had changed since our parents' and grandparents' eras. The book is a bit depressing at times, making you feel how seemingly romantic relationships are so fragile.. and the choice one makes for a soul mate can have such an effect on one's life.
I need better books.

long time it has been.
Well, I have been wasting my time the last year doing nothing much except playing dotar and army stuff. Its time to do something worthwhile.. heh, not getting any younger. But its quite good considering its a break from study life and gave me a chance to rethink what i want in life (which i havent decided yet but.. yea).
haha ironically though.. i actually miss studying argh!! cant believe i just said that.. guess thats why after army guys become more concientious.. its more due to boredom and 'sianness' in army than anything else i think.
Yea.
I recently read this book 'The Time Traveler's Wife'.. really sad book, this book will make you glow as you share the love between Henry and Clare, it will make you laugh, it will leave you on the edge of your seat while Henry time travels, and it will make you cry. Once you're buried within this novel and fully immersed in their lives, you have to suffer their pain as well as celebrate their joys with Henry and Clare. sigh.. lol
the prologue of the book "http://contemporarylit.about.com/cs/firstchapters/a/ttw.htm"
yea.
Im kinda bored now lol on to more DOTAR.
