Two more days til enlistment.

This blog will be officially temporarily closed for the next two years, starting from either tomorrow or this thursday.

Please refer to http://www.mylifeinns.blogspot.com/ for future posts.

Given the opportunity and time, i'll be posting in this new blog,some of what i will be experiencing in National Service, of course, Excluding any confidential or private issues.

Its been more than two years since i've started this blog, and i remembered my first post was on the 30th of January.

a lot have happened during this two years, and some of them are being "saved" in this blog... writing down events in my life are such a benefit to me.

left one more day...haven finish Slam Dunk, may need to use the whole day tml to watch finish the anime..such a long anime...

received a nike voucher due to particiption in SP Poly 50... just in time cos i need a duffel bag so as to put all my ns things into it... went to suntec with William today , to the "Nike By B.I.R.D" store to buy one... in the end only need to top up round $20.

then went to the book convention in exhibition hall 4. as its a weekday, not many people. but the books there are mostly chinese books.

then went to another exhibition in the ground floor in dunno which tower... and saw many interesting books there, but can only buy one...in the end chose.....Iron man. (...)

saw "Resident Evil: Extinction", and Brisingr was sold at only $8!! My fren was so... cos he bought the book at $30+ when it was first released...

see you soon, two years from now or you could visit my new blog at http://www.mylifeinns.blogspot.com/

** COUNTDOWN **
-> 6 days until Graduation
-> 20 days until NS enlistment

work at Yes has been normal.. the atmosphere there is not stresfull..
people there mostly helpful and OK..

received my pay on 6th May, but dunno why, can't find anything to buy at all..dunno hoiw to spend it..dun feel like spedning it..
.. and started to wonder why do i need money at tis time?
what shld i do with my money?
what shld i spend it on?

just thought of something to buy- - maybe a duffle bag..

recently started to re-play red alert 2: Yuri's revenge..almost forgot how to play, how to build units, control them, etc..got crushed by an easy enemy...

but soon found back my bearings...

quite fun anyway..

tinking of creating a few maps using the map editor..


animes...
still stuck on Nodame Cantabile...can't find the commitment to finish it, esp. it only have round 24 episodes i tink..hav to finish it quickly before enlistment..

received rejection letterfrom a certain uni a few days back...well shld hav known better, with these kind of results..its common sense..

maybe i would hav to resort to SMU / NU /SIm or PSB academy after NS, depends..


was following 學警狙擊 on TV. every night , 9pm...finishing soon..last few episodes..

i do not trust horoscopes completely, but am interested in them, thus i found myself turing to the horoscope page in My Paper every time i got hold of it, and reading what's in my horoscope..

graduating in six days' time..how do i feel?

"well, i felt that, time flies.. and its been thre years in the blink of an eye.
a lot of things have hapened during these three years, but i found that my memories in Singapore Polytechnic are not the most memorable one, per se.."

My current work?

"..Working at Yes brings back some memories of the time i worked as a .. for ego , i think,, when we had to go all over singapore to .. arrange the goods in NTUC, Fariprice, Cold storage, etc.. , and the people i met there, the people i worked with, as well as some ..incidents, i shld say, or .. "interactions" with my then supervisor(s), haz...its quite fun, but really tiring...but .. the .. experience was.. good?.. haz.."

"however, working at Yes shld be , in my own view, more...flexible and less stressful, the amosphee there is quite relaxed, half-day,.. people there also kind and helpful.."

NS?
" I feel.. both nervous and excited while awaiting enlistment. Nervous because this is (of course) my first time going to NS... excited because i finally have a real part to play in protecting my country, or learning to protect it.."

"I do hope that all goes well in Tekong..i can meet some friends there whom i can "connect" with.. learn some new things.. esp. maybe shoting skills? .. just a silly dream.. hope that i might bea marksman or sometihng like tt..lol haz...know it'll never happen.."

til next time then

" I'm the type who needs clear indication"

Went to GV@Tampines today with a friend to watch Ip Man 2.

forgot that the hall we're goin to has only one entrance at the right. and bump my head into a wall on my left.

of course it hurts.

anyway, the movie is good. Donnie Yen and his signature smile in the movie, both in the first and second instalment... and this time, with Sammo Hung as the martial arts director and also as one of the main characters, its a good pair-up between the two martial arts actors.

then went to Sewensons to eat banana split. my friend had a coupn which entitles us to a free sundae among six choices. we ordered a banana split and a fried mushroom or sumthing like tt. the tartar sauce was as delicious as the ice cream.

its been a tiring day.

enlisting on first week of next month.

Today went to Tampines GV to watch "How to train your dragon" in 3D
Its quite nice.
Graphics, animations, story plot..interesting.

Its close to 1 hr 45 mins..and the price like droped from $13 to $11, or that i did not know it had dropped.

and it talks about a child of a Viking who met a "Night-Fury" Dragon whom he shot down using his gadget during a night raid by the dragons. He befriends the dragon and uncovered a secret between the dragons and the Vikings.. to know more, watch the movie.

In my own view, its quite nice,comprising of fantasy, family and love.

btw went to white sands to drink double chocolate frappe..quite expensive though..and went to Challenger. saw that "Medal of Honour: Airbourne" dropped to a mere $19.90!

its like a very huge difference of price from when i last saw it eons ago.

battlefield 2 complete collection also droped from $59+ to a mere $29.90.....

and also Need for Speed : Prostreet and need for speed: Undercover....

and there are also other types of packages where they lump three of four games together and sell at a special price..its like they wanted to clear away all past stocks...to make way for new ones

tomorow new show on channel U 10pm..though its quite a very old one..but shld be nice to watch, and i tink its on Todou too.

til next time then

Got back my results a few weeks back.

Cumulative GPA: 3.004, just reached the 3-point mark..
but forgot if i need to submit my latest results to NUS and NtU, and how...its been ages since i submitted my application..

19/5/10--> Graduation

found a job at YES Supermart , very near my house, walking distance.

actually went for some job interviews and called up some guys before this, but to conclude, its not successful at all..thus, found this job while buying tomato ketchup a few weeks ago..had been at work since one week ago. at least, its near my house, and the atmosphere there is not really stressful.

Its part-time (dunno when i will be enlisted)

finally able to watch 学警狙击 on channel 55, 9pm.

i've watched the previous two "instalments" (學警雄心 and 學警出更)and have been waiting for this ...

thinking back, i've learnt that..all these while, what happened to me or around me, as well as how i've been dealing wth things around me, has let me realised that..i've been very naive to think of trying to start a relationship and thinking that i could be a good partner, but now i know..i do not even have the basic requisites to be a good partner..

its still too early.

let nature take its course then,

as for me, i always knew it has ended even before it started / could even start
