my butt hurts! from cycling the whole night. but i must say, it's fun and i'm looking forward to the actual event on good friday =D

nothing i want to blog about in particular. hmm new happenings since i last blogged include my first driving lesson at ubi and the overnight cycling. HAHA. my life is SO BORING can!

driving..i switched from school to private. regretted making that rash decision to sign up for school last year. i just forfeited my $166.50 worth of registration fee and paid an additional $80 to register with the private instructor. ah, but all's well. under private i can cut the number of lessons by more than 10, and every lesson's cheaper too. PLUS, it's more flexible. and i must say my instructor's really nice and friendly. even though i already knew how to drive, but i still think he's quite a good teacher. if you need a private instructor at ubi you can approach me i intro mine to you(:

then there's the overnight cycling. roughly 47km in total! HAHA. so proud of myself. i nearly died you know! my thighs were burning and dying on the way back to pasir ris from vivo, but i did it! WOOHOO! hahah. cycling is fun and i should do it more often. maybe i'll save and get myself a road bike for bday next year. HMM! =D

okay apart from these two updates, all's well at work. i'm becoming more involved and also speaking more. hope they won't form a bad impression of me after i became more picky and all. but nvm lah huh? slowly implement changes hoping it won't be too late. yeah.

how do you go about effecting changes and implementing policies in office when your colleagues are at least 20years older than you? hmm..

i think the more important question is, how do i tell them "you guys are not doing a good job" when i'm just a greenhorn in this sector and new in office. plus, i don't know many things i am supposed to know. HMM..

i respect them, but i am posted here as their leader. though 20years or more younger, i do think need to step in. but how do i go about doing it? maybe i'm not cut to be a leader afterall.

happy (belated) bday to me!(:

BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING MORE! WATCH THIS! =D

ahhh! ELLA! *melts* i'm going to pick up canto JUST FOR HER!

my second bday in army, just that this time round i had a day off from work. still, i was tired and swollen everywhere(due to mosquito bites) from outfield the night before. you know, i used to get very worked up if no one celebrates my bday with me. well, now it doesnt really matter anymore cos i know who i matter to.

there isn't much things for me to blog about nowadays. i'm going share something i've been thinking about the past few days. IF i can turn back time, what would i have done differently?

one, i know i want to take up an instrument. i really want to learn how to play the piano, but even if i can turn back time, i wun be able to learn piano cos it's so expensive! so after weighing the opportunity costs, i decided that i'll go take guitar lessons as well as drums! HAHA.

two, i'd have put in more effort in guiding my sister. somehow, i really felt it was my fault for her current state. not that she's a girl gone bad or anything, just that she could have been a better person. not just the results, but her personality. if i hadn't quarrelled so much with her then, if i had not been jealous..but oh wells.

three, i'd be more outgoing and proactive in getting what i want. firstly, i think many people think i'm the extrovert, sociable and outspoken kind. BUT I AINT! i really aren't. i wonder how that impression of me was formed anyway. i only open up to someone after i get to know him/her for a period of time. and i'm really shy okay! HAHA. and i dun like to inconvenience others. (i think luan was quite annoyed with me when i tried to convince her to not have dinner with me ytd when i wanted her to HAHA)

four, since i know how horrible my r/s in JC was, i'd not fall into the same pit again. and i would give ohsix more time!

and many more other things i want to change. but wells, there are just so many things i think i have done wrong, and so many regrets! but i'm only 20, so i think there're possibilities of making up for lost time if i take action now. afterall, 幸福是要自己争取的！(:

there is nothing wrong with being crazy over pretty lady! ELLA KOON IS SUPER PRETTY CAN!

HAHA. she's the main female lead for the 8pm HK drama on chnl55, starhub cable tv. i detest her character at first, but then i grew to like her as i sunk deeper into the drama's plot! it's a infatuation i declare to everyone HAHA! for this reason, i have only missed 1 episode for the past 2weeks okay! =D

so in any case, if u like HK drama and u have nothing to watch currently, why not go watch this show? 律征新人王2。and then u can tell me if u like Lily Sun in the show too! so far i've found 1 fan of her in camp and we have been discussing about the drama everyday! (i know this sounds like what girls usually do? but just so you know, guys do behave like this too okay!)

i wanted to publish my fav photo of her here, but i'm selfish and i'm not sharing! TOO BAD! hahahahahah =D

for those who bothers to visit my blog, i'm back to update!

hee. today i had the worst day in camp, and probably the best night outside! i shall elaborate.

work sucks today. basically, i was screwed for nothing. the whole story goes sth like this:
a colleague of mine was in charge of organising a safety seminar. he was not there for the final rehearsal and, by Murphy's Law, things went wrong. he did not brief anyone to take over his duties as IC, and he gave conflicting instructions and super general tasking for his crew. this resulted in a rehearsal NOT done. saved files corrupted (i seriously think it is impossible, if not for Murphy's Law). when my CO arrived for inspection, i got screwed for 'being the highest rank and not taking action in ensuring everything is in order." great. so it was my fault. i wasn't told i am the second in command. and HELLO! I'M HIGHER RANK THAN MY COLLEAGUE PLEASE! =/ anyway, CO unhappy, what can i do? i get down to work. i produce a much nicer, much higher standard powerpoint slide in 30min okay. i was dead tired, hungry, and angry. the exact moment i finished cleaning up the mess for him, he reappeared, claiming credit for all i've done. GREAT! and my CO, being a nice guy, was not pissed now that i've got everything up and running the way he likes it, did not reprimand him at all! EXCELLENT! okay so the seminar was a success. everyone praised him. who cared about me? boo.

anyway, i must admit i had myself to blame. i knew somethings aren't quite the way my CO wants it on friday? but i'm lazy to tell him. well, because if my CO doesn't like it, he'll get the blame, not me. (in any case, i dunlike him. so i dun mind him getting screwed.) but i was wrong. i was selfish. so i apologise for my undesirable trait. =X

okay so my day was bad. heavy downpour came out of nowhere and sustained for more than an hour after working hours. i had no way to leave camp, and i did not want to fall sick. poor me.

it was then things started to get better. my CSM offered to send me out to the main gate. i'd still have to walk in the rain until the bus stop, but better than nothing right? after i got out of the car, i ran into my storemen (who left earlier as they have umbrellas with them). one of them is wearing a cloaked sweater, so he offered me his umbrella! yay dryness until bus stop. 169 came immediately after i set foot into the bus stop. YAY! and it's not crowded at all! unlike 169 on other days. when i reached AMK, rain's so small it's barely a drizzle. so, no problem walking around AMK staying dry =D

then i met my mum for dinner! hahah it has to be the best. without my sis/dad around, i can talk to my mum about everything! uh, except relationship stuff, but i'm trying. anyway, i felt so much better after complaining to her about that asshole colleague of mine. then i received an sms telling me the optics shop i go to is giving me 50% discount as it's my bday month! so i dragged her to specs shopping with me, and bought myself a new pair of specs for my bday. wheee! my first present from myself. HAHA. then she suggested we have icecream, so we went to get some cornettos and headed home for our favourite HK drama =D

i think i'm really blessed to have a mum like this. she's like my friend. i can talk to her about anything! again, not r/s stuff. but she knows. i dunno how, but she knows who i'm with, whether or not i'm in love, if i had a gf, so on..she claims she can read my mind, and i really think she can. i dun think many have a mum like me! a mum who u can talk to about ur friends and she actually knows who they are. like, i talked to her about xiangting, luan, ann, wanli, steph, jason, boonhong, jeanne, laoda, royston and many many others. i'm proud of the fact that my mum knows my friends and i can gossip with her about them! hahaha. so dun be surprised if my mum questions u about ur recent happenings if u meet her =D

i think i've typed quite alot. but i'm going to say one last thing! my bday is next tues! it's a great day! government is giving me my allowance on my bday! i'm going to apply for a day off on that day to go back to njc to find ms mandy chua and to visit choir! and also to do up my scholarship stuff.

oh and there isn't a need to celebrate for me. not in the mood this year. but a meal will do! i can catch up with u people at the same time too(: my motto for this year: concurrent activities - maximum efficiency and gain from minimum input.
