This is how the final sunset will look like based on artists' impression.
2008 is coming to an end, very soon. This year, many things have happened. Particularly more towards the end of this year.
Seeing my friends progressing on, from study to graduation and to enlistment. Meeting new people, finding new friends, and losing some friends at the same time. I'm sure many things have changed. Even my own thoughts and principles, my points of view, my everything.
Basically this year is full of crap. The main reason is because I'm serving a whole year of 365 days of national service which I spite the most.
Not all of the days are bad. Well, I've been to many many countries especially for this year.
Firstly is the naval Ex WaveFront which brought me to France, Turkey, Djibouti, India.
Once in a lifetime experience and sponsored trip. My knowledge of this world has greatly been broadened. Followed on by another ex bl which only brings me to Malaysia. Plus my own trip to KL. I've visited a total of 5 countries all in this year.
So then, the first half of this year has already been taken out due to sailing. 100 days away from home. It's really not easy.
2nd half of the year is not that interesting anymore. Everyday is work and more work. More and more short sailings to South China Sea - the sea which I myself hated the most. Basically life really sucks from June to October. Plus all my friends are enlisted, so weekends are really boring.
However, I've picked up quite a number of skills throughout all these experiences. Physical wise I've made improvement. Every Sunday is a basketball game day. Well, I guess my skills have been greatly pushed to a higher level. Honing basketball skills every week does help.
Guitar skills have improved too. More time spent on guitar at home every now and then, making sure I get my chords fingered correctly.
All these comes with a price too. Lately, after doing my finance sum up for this year. I realised I've actually spent alot more this year as compared to last year. Perhaps is the staying out routine I guess. That is just part of the reason. The rest I got to figure out someday.
Yup, that's about all for this year 2008.
More to come, if I can remember it.

Again. Shot by arrows.
There goes my precious Friday. Again, stacked with the fact that my 3 days leave for this week being canceled, here comes another arrow - being tasked to do shit work again.
What can i do? My off has been taken away again, stacked with the fact that this Friday i was actually on leave.
Things are just getting worse i guess.
Please don't add anymore fuel to the flames. I've already had enough.
When you've already ORDed, so be it. Don't fucking taunt and disturb me with all your freedom nonsense and shits. Fuck you. That's all i can say to you.
You spark me off, you get it.
Doing duty on xmas eve so what? Do I have a choice?
Fuck this year's xmas. I'm getting nothing.
Flamed off.
Let's Rock!

2E5/2002.
That was my class when i was in secondary 2 in zhss.
Time has passed. Since the last time which was around 6 years ago, we were just like any other youths. Full of energy.
Well, time hasn't wear us out yet. Not just that early i guess.
I actually expected many to be a little bit more passive when it comes to beach games like Frisbee and volleyball. I was wrong. We were just like how we are during our 14yr old days when we were running around playing games in school.
It's been fun.
How wonderful it is to see each other grown up, or growing up. It's been 6 years. 2160days odd.
We are all 20 years old now. Each of us have our own aspirations and interests. Each of us are an individual with a different future. It's not like the kids studying in 2E5 when we are only capable of aiming for high scores for streaming examinations, anymore.
I guess it's really meaningful to be able to gather during this period of festive season. Although many did not turn up, it's been fun just being with a few. Many stories were retold, recapped and re-published.
Well, hope to have more outings in the future!
Merry Christmas to my ex-classmates from class 2E5/2002.
All the best.

alright. i'm really freaking bored today.
End up going to their work place for some little shopping after my duty which ended this morning. No sleep ftw?
Well, they didnt even give me the address. All they told me was to go find out for myself. Worse thing was that even the road name was given wrongly. wtf. End up i clarify with jw on my bus trip. Fortunately, i had already planned the rough spot which I am going to explore if I am going to get lost.
Reached there, felt pretty surprising. Because I can't seem to find anything that I particularly like. End up the shoes that I desire are sold out, and I got 2 things which probably I lack of - one backpack and a sneakers.
Stood around and chatted with jw before going to pay money. Its really a nonsensical session. =X!
There goes my leave for today. The last one.
Well, 2 events over the weekends.
Tomorrow's the day for my secondary 2 class gathering. Going to sentosa.(again)
Sunday's the day for my jc class gathering, maybe better. It's mind's cafe.
And, I am really freaking bored now. Kill boredom!

Somehow...things seemed to be a little different.
Perhaps we've all grown up. We had lost the 'energy' that we had when we are kids. We tend to feel tired easily. Is this what all of the adults in the world experiencing?
I remembered when I was young, I felt like I had all the energy in the universe. The unlimited amount of energy surging inside the body that lead me to being so hyperactive. Maybe that's why I'm so slim now. The friends and classmates around me are being more or less the same.
Being a kid is so fun, especially the kids nowadays.
Friends in the pasts are much more agreeable and less excuses to come up with. Asking them for an outing is much easier than now. One sms is enough to gather at least 4 to 5 friends for a particularly simple outing already.
Right now, it's getting worse. Other than spending 4 to 5 sms per head for just an exquisite outing, there's still people who are unconfirmed and not available. Perhaps it's just too much commitment for people around this age. Maybe I do not have such commitments to carry out.
Well, there's no fault in this but I'm just saying my point of view that's all.
Life's getting duller everyday. Why? Even though when I'm going to ORD in a couple of months time, I am still feeling bored. Why?
Is it because of the aimless life that I am leading now? If it's so, why do those people who have already ORDed feeling the same way too?
The answer is uncertain, nobody knows. Do you know?
Somehow, my leave for next week's have been scraped off, for unknown reasons. Somehow, they told me that I've overtaken my annual leave for last year so I have to make up for the loss.
'Somehow'....
This word is powerful. It can create wonders. Out of no where they can just tell you that you are needed and off you go. No questions entertained. One word and off you go. This is the power of authority that I'm facing now. They can just take away privileges whenever or wherever they like, there's nothing you can do. Nothing.
Alright, take this post as some sort of a 'complain' post. I really had enough of all these. I'm turning 21 next yr, the coming April. Why is there so many things that I had to swallow? Somehow things are not happening in the way I want. What can I do?
Nothing.

Time.
Just wondering, how good will it be if I can control it?
What difference can i make?
At times, I've been wondering why we as humans can control everything in this world, but time. Though sometimes we can do a little part in controlling the 'uncontrollable', like weather, it is time that we have totally no control of. For instance, controlling the current greenhouse effect that's been going on for years.
How nice will it be if time can be controlled.
In just a split second, many things could be changed. Just like how this world is being created.
A big bang.
This causes the Universe to be born, thus forming up the rest of it - galaxies, stars, meteors and asteroids. Earth, as being part of the Universe, is somehow different. It has life.
So, have you ever wonder what difference can you make if you could control time?
If only time can be controlled, I will want to go back in time so that I can do better in my studies. I will want to do a lot of things that will not result in disappointment. I want to change how things are being done. I want to ORD earlier. I want to slow down or speed up time whenever i want.
However, time is constant.
In reality this is something which we cannot change at all. If time can be changed, what's the point of having football matches, sports, exams, and things that are going around in this world?
Everything has a logic in it. Somehow the creator of this world seemed to make everything near perfection. Looks like the only way is to accept it.
Unless, you have a time machine.

This movie was nice.
Yesterday went down to DG for some little shopping and arcade killing spree.
Yes, we did kill the scores. However we didnt manage to complete silent hill. =X
Had a 'bird' chat at long john silvers after we got tired of killing.
Guess what. We saw yismo and kc while we are happily chewing our chips away!
It's been a damn long time since we met, yeah. Nice to see u guys doing well. (nice hairstyle yismo! =P)
After departing LJS, an auntie came up to us and told us that we are correct in saying a girl who has a squeaky voice to have squeaky voice. I was like huh? You eavesdropped on us?
Fortunately enough we didnt say anything important. ( we have nothing important to say anyway. =P)
She even praised us to be cute. =X How weird.
A note to take note of.
Please be reminded to mind your Tapz card while playing the guitar freaks machine at dhoby ghaut zone x.
My credits just got eaten by the machine yesterday. = =!
...
The same routine today. Bball in the morning with bcube.
However there's a little difference today. We actually played for hours without taking a rest.
That's good. Enjoyable. (:
I know i can't go really far with basketball because of my knee problem. It's starting to show signs of giving way lately. I'm trying my best to give it the best protection. I don't know what will eventually happen to it but right now I have to stay focused.
Before my knee gives it all up, I will still continue to strive at my best.
Do whatever I can.

Emo...
Don't know why the emo-ness came into me today.
Just that i felt that i have alot of things to say but at the same time it isn't really appropriate for me to say.
Thinking..
Am i a person who is really very vulnerable to arrows?
If not, why am i being FORCED to do things that i dont like? Why cant i be selfish for just ONCE so that i wont let you have what u want?
Am i so close with you that i have to do your duty for you?
I dont know why you did this to me. No more of this shit from now on.
Being friendly doesnt mean u can force me to do things that u like which it only benefits you.
Staying at home for the whole day is typically unhealthy for a person like me. Maybe not for others. Because my mind just cant rest. Think and think and think. That's all it does.
Sometimes, those thoughts that i avoided will come in when i sat down and settled in the 'passive' mode.
Anyway, i must set my goals as soon as possible. Till now, i want to excel in basketball. However my knee doesn't allow me to. So, i cant go far with it. Next to this should be guitar already. Doesn't really need alot of physical work, skill based. Yup, so i think i'll settled down for it.
Not forgetting my studies of course. In this super ultimate realistic country whereby it requires a HIGH level of education so that one can survive, all you can do is to STUDY so that it can at least earn you a LITTLE bowl of rice. Isn't it SIMPLE and SWEET?
My friends...are getting a bit out of hand already.
Maybe what Andy said was true. (pls refer to his blog for that.)
Needless me to say.
Deviated.

Ever since the start of December, arrows have been flying around.
Virtually everywhere!
Since the start of the week, I've been reporting back to ship everyday for work. It's been pretty peaceful for the start as it's pretty fresh. However, it is not as peaceful as it may seem to be.
I've been hit by arrows, not one, but millions.
Hit on duty, hit on work, even on the way home also get hit by arrows. I'm just wondering.
Must it always be this case? I guess not.
Today, a big arrow came down and hit the bull's eye, splitting the other arrows that landed there not long ago - I've been tasked to stand-in for my batch boy who is currently serving '68'.
Holy shit.
Well, guess my luck's still the same. (Has it even changed at all?)
Just came home from dinner. This time round had curry chicken noodle.
Yup, it totally tastes different from the maggi noodle packets that i've always been cooking. (pretty obvious.)
Walked down to e-hub to shoot monsters again - silent hill. Fortunately or skillful enough, we've once again completed the game. This time round still maintaining with 3 credits.
It's been fun!
*guess i should buy a huge armour to protect myself againsts arrows that maybe flying in my direction.

It's been so long since i've been to my old place, Bishan.
So went down to Bishan to meet 宣明二老. You should know who. =X
Found out that nothing much has changed since the day i left for Punggol.
J8 still remains as crowded as ever, the hawker centre above the bus interchange has not toppled yet. Fortunately, i still got to eat my favourite fish ball noodle. (:
Met up with xuan ming er lao and proceeded down to IKEA tampines.
At first i thought today's outing will be pretty boring but guess i was totally wrong. It was f**king fun! Shits and nonsense fly all over the place.
It then started to rain while we were inside, which is bad news?
Well, doesnt affect us much then. Still went back dry. =X
It's nice being so fun everyday. Serious.
Tomorrow's duty day again, just 2 more months to go before i am relieved from this.
Jia you.
Let's Rock!
