What a way to spend my super long weekend.

Finally, after suffering from the lengendary Tekong cough for 1 week, i have offically lose my voice for the weekend. No choice, but to visit a private doctor once i booked out, look like i will have to spend my weekend drowning myself with all kind of medicine and water and plus plenty of rest. What a way to start my long weekend. No wonder my friends said this, 'You are not a Tekong recruit if you do not suffer from the Tekong cough.'

'NTUC Fairprice' Starwars

Found this funny meme of the Chad Vader as the shift manager in a supermarket, it will be great if Singaporean have their version of the Starwars being staged in one of the NTUC Fairprice Outlets.



Think Singaporean can do this kind of meme if they failed to be in the limelight of Singapore Idol, Superband and etc.

Javducation - Confinement Special

Back from my 2 weeks of confinement period, suddenly feel very strange to touch the computer and start blogging, anyway thanks to those who have been coming to my site often to check for update. I promised updates over the weekend. 'Long' weekend for me! Okie, authority say we cannot mention military stuff to the public, so i shall not talk about my army life. I shall name it as Uly, liddat not mentioning what

Over the past 2 weeks i have learnt:

1) That Uly is all about repeating, they hold delayed telecast, repeat telecast annoucement 3 times a day.

2) That a so called lecture got no lecture notes but tons of jokes.

3) That everything offered to us is welfare.That everything offered to us is welfare.That everything offered to us is welfare.That everything offered to us is welfare.That everything offered to us is welfare.That everything offered to us is welfare.

4)That if we break our spectacles and we need to make a new pair, we entitled to $10 off as discount, but the claim will only come after a year. That's welfare gentlemen!

5)That i learnt how to suck thumb.

6)That vulgarities is a culture.

7)That time = money and therefore money = time, but it does not mean the more time you have the more money you will be able to earn. It just mean the more money you earn, the more free time you have.

8)That after 14 days of confinement, you will find yourself dumb.

9)That the IMF is over and i didn't even get to witness a second of the event. (NB!)

10) That despite practising so hard to smile i never get to use it at all for the IMF.

11) That i will suffer a spilt personality sooner or later because we are not allow to put on a smiley face inside but we are encouraged to smile at foreign talent in Singapore. Headache!

12)That those ah pek who like to go Batam to source for entertainment will no longer scare of getting their ass jabbed by the protestor because Batam have been declared a non-protester island.

13) That Mickey Mouse is coming to town.

14) That women who are interested in losing weight should just join NS. Forget about paying Marie France Bodyline, Slim Fit or Body Perfect. Get paid to lose weight by joining us. It works, no jokes.

Dear Jav

Thank you for the opportunity of letting me guest blog.

Unfortunately due to my busy schedule, I shall do a 1-in-2 post instead. 1 post. On 2 blogs.

Abit cheapskate right?

TOO BAD! You're in the army and I'm not, so I can do anything I want! Muahaha!

To those on Jav's side reading this, I have officially taken over (temporarily), and on Jav's behalf, I am supposed to update.

For those reading this post on MY side, please ignore and continue reading.

Anyway, Jav SMS-ed me 10 years ago (actually it was only last Tuesday), to write on his blog saying that he had passed his swimming test, and that he had road march tomorrow' Tomorrow meaning last Wednesday.

As you can obviously tell, his road march is well over by now, and yes, he still is alive and kicking. Kicking what thing, I really don't know. Not other people's soap, I hope.

I am doing this upload because just the other day Jav complained that I did not update his blog, so here I decided to take down some evidence that I really am so busy running around outside that I hardly am at home.

So seldom am I home that spiderwebs are REALLY starting to form around my room.







So, bro, don't blame me!

Jav's first miserable day?

Before I began this entry, I have a couple of points to clarify:

1. Jav is indeed on his way to becoming a real man by serving NS in the oh-so-beautiful island where you don't have to bother carrying a pink Identification Card whereever you go.

2. I am not a male, not a gay, not a shemale but a 100% female. So, there will defintely be distinctive differences between my perspectives and Jav's.

3. The most important point that you have to note when reading my posts are, I am entitled to my own perspectives.

4. According to Jav, there is someone else who may blog for him. Therefore, I will identify myself as E.


Earlier on today, I was messgaging Mr. Javier Chia just before he touched down Tekong. It was like any usual messages that we exchanged, like wishing each other well. However, as he was approaching Changi Ferry Terminal, he said, "There's a big open field at Changi Airbase, I want to be here playing soccer." (not exact, but something along the line).

What I am trying to say here is, he could have said, "No more soccer games for two weeks, I am so gonna miss running after balls!". He could at least show a little more remorse rather than happy because he is sad. I just knew it when he messaged me "I suddenly don't feel like going!"

Guys are just guys. *Sighs* Pride! Tsk.

Well anyway, Javier called me too when I was strolling along Orchard at around 10pm. That poor boy got tekan on his very first day.

Sergeant: "Have you try on the trunks?"
Javier: "What for?"
Sergeant: "FASTER go and try it on."

Javier then played hero and ignore his sergeant words. When its time for manual chores or in short, sai gang, his sergeant called, "Where's that guy who didn't try his trunks on?"

Oh, Javier is sad, definitely sad. Because he brought his sueyness to Tekong. Who can be so unlucky to have their cabinet locked. Imagine him watching people unpacking their stuff and laying them nicely in the cabinet, while he can only share half his bed with all his belongings. Maybe Javier should watch out, there might be something in the cabinet, that's why it's locked...

Anyway, that's Javier's day. Awww, what a fantastic way to start his NS life!

Watch out this space for more updates...


Signing out,
E.

Enlisting lo!

After this entry, I will be leaving home and getting ready to go into Tekong. No special feeling if you ask me, just abit excited as I will be facing a new road and direction in life. Those who have been msning me for the past few years already stated that they will feel weird without me disturbing and suanning them in msn and of course they will be without one of the best listener in the world to listen to their problem and giving them advice. Alright got to go, everyone please take care! Will be blogging tonight with the help of my friend.

Stay tuned!

A word of thanks.

Bag packed, handphone charged and what are allow inside have been packed. A brand new life await me tomorrow at 1330 BMTC School 2. I want to thanks my friends who have been asking (through sms/msn or verbally) me to take care of myself in army, rest assure i will. Also, i also want to thank readers like Elise, Scotty and others who have been reading my blog and giving me the support and comments, thanks for the regards too anyway. Although i have never seen you guys face to face but its good knowing the presence of you all. Rest assured that this blog won't die after i get enlisted because i have begged my 2 friends to guest blog for me on my behalf when i am in camp. A big thank you to my 2 guest blogger and to my reader, keep the comment coming in!!

Javducation

Last Javducation before enlisting into army, i have to keep this short because i was too busy to read the news, i just scanned though.

I have learnt:

1) That if you want to be famous, you can join Singapore idol, 绝对 superstar or Star Search. If all these failed, you can be a teacher because nowadays teachers are prone to complain and get on the newspaper headline really fast.

2) That turtle is a way to commerate the death of a crocodile hunter in msn, that's very weird. I got an idea, maybe we should all buy Crocs footwear to wear when going out to commerate.

3) That fairprice is a good name to start a casket business or any kind of business.

4) That even if your business offer reasonable charges, no overtime charge and professional services, you cannot name your business Fairprice because it's owned by NTUC.

Excerpt:

Casket Fairprice is in Sin Min and an employee who answered the phone explained that the company was a one-stop centre and thus charged lower prices.

Why did it name itself Fairprice?

"Because our prices are fair, mah," he replied.

It is not connected with NTUC in anyway. You don't get a discount if you are a union member.

5) That NTUC is really a good name to start a casket business. National Trade Union Casket.

6) That nowadays, even runner-up at Singapore Idol won't guarantee you instant stardom, not even when you create rumour with a fellow single mum contestant. when stardom and fame don't come, you might find your CD being sold at $2 in one corner of Carrefour and get your contract being terminated early. Each come separately. Battery not included.

7) That its 4 days away from IMF, learnt how to smile already?

8) That during the period between 10-20 sept, old man who are used to going Batam for some 'recreational' purposes may find themselves appearing on international tv channel like CNN or they might just find themselves getting their ass jabbed by IMF protester in Batam.

9) That the filling in the 大碰饼 that i like to eat since i was ten is lotus paste not malt, all along i thought is malt till someone told me is lotus paste.

10) That i am 1 day away from civilian's life.

Sometimes...

Ever travelled to 5 places in a day and having your meal with 3 different set of friends and colleagues? i tried that today, damn chaotic. Sometime, despite a very busy day travelling here and there, a simple sms asking 'how are you doing lately?' or 'how's your day?' just simply bring smile to my face. Just received one such sms yesterday from my secondary school form teachers Madam Lydia after i sent her a happy teachers' day sms. She's a great teacher, someone who made an impact in my studies between making the grade for poly or dropping out of school. A great influence in my life.

Respect! Lastly to Madam Lydia, thanks for the effort you put in me or at least the class of us during the last two years of my secondary school life. Happy belated Teachers' day!

Drama review

<here>

法證先鋒(Forensic Heroes)

Recently got back my drama form, now i know why i am more interested in HongKong TVB drama than local production. Ever since i watched the first episode of this drama, i can say, i am addicted to watching this show. The ending of each episode will always ensure that you will be dying to catch the next episode without fail. Good storyline, good plot and the forsenic term that the cast are using will leave you thinking whether are they forsenic doctor in real life.

Splendid 5 out of 5 stars.
