Happy-go-lucky me!

Here is a post of my activities in 2 days.. so ya..

Thursday (03/08/06)

Today at camp was P1 and I perform duty for the mounting shift.. Did duty frm 1300-1700.. The rest of my grp did a 2 hr duty whilst I did a 4 hr duty becos I was in an aircon environment.. So ya..

The first 2 hrs I did duty with an NSmen and we chatted abt Nokia stuff becos he was a Nokia Care Centre Customer Care Service Officer..
Then 2 hrs later, I did duty with a mounting shift guy and he was frm Paya Lebar Airbase who was loaned over to my base.. I then did duty with him and of course, we chatted with each other to pass our 2 hrs of duty more quickly.. We both agreed tat we chatted more with each other compared to when we do duty with the NSmen loh! Both of us also have things in common and tat is both of us hated rock and metal music, as well as we both are happy-go-lucky ppl!
So ya.. So u see, even 2 hrs of my duty, I can make new friends!

Then a call frm my sgt came, saying tat my P1 grp have to do speedtrap tml! WTH!! Everytime my P1 grp always do! Sianx leh.. By rite after we sent our arms tml in the morning, we can go home liaox.. (becos today is my shift's mass off!).. We actually also did not have dismounting duty leh.. so this means tat we can go home earlier loh.. but now got this speedtrap thingy, so its like no difference frm dismounting duty loh.. Super sianx liaox..

Then my sgt very good, as he wanted to help us like ask my officer whether is there any compensation becos our mass off tml kenna jia, but my officer dun want to gice.. so no choice.. haix.. wat to do? We sway rite? =(

Friday (04/08/06)

Woke up this morning in bunk with a stomachache.. went to toilet but nothing came out.. (ok.. I shall spare the details!).. Was supposed to wake up at 0545 this morning for the stupid speedtrap thing, but then, I was quite lazy lah, so I woke up at 0600 instead.. in Mandarin, we call this "lai4 chuang2"..

Then we went down to wash up and stuff.. we then proceeded to Guardroom to have our breakfast and draw the stores for our speedtrap and stuff.. The Guard Commander (which was a staff sgt) was quite shocked, as in he actually did not plan dismounting duty for us but yet we came down.. So we explain the whole situation to him lah..

We then proceeded to do the speedtrap frm 0700-0800.. We had a lot of onlookers from base personnels as well as visitors to the nearby Sembawang Country Club.. Onlookers as in like u koe lah.. Singaporeans very kaypoh, so they see see look look becos the place we are standing (where we book ppl if they really was more than the speed limit which was stipulated) are usually empty, so today we stand there is a rare sight lah!
Then there is this CPT (Captain rank officer) who asked us, and we (Boon Sen, my sgt Yifu, and myself) replied (but I did most of the talking).. here is our conversation:

Me: (salutes) "Good morning, Sir!"
CPT: (salutes back) "Hey good morning. What are you all doing?"

Me: "We are doing speedtrap, Sir."
CPT: (confused look on his face)

Me: "Sir, our job here is to catch anyone who actually speeds more than the speed limit."

CPT: "Oh.. Then how you all know whether who speed? You all use your eyes to see?"

Me: (laughed and smiled for a brief moment) "Sir, no! We got equipment to check the speed limit of the cars.

CPT: "Oh I see..." (walks off)

Fwah! Best rite? haha.. Then my sgt cracked some jokes as to now we got speed detectors on our spectacles (becos its so coincident tat the 3 of us - Boon Sen, Sgt Yifu & myself wears specs..)

Then at 0800, we pulled back, and soon, we were back in bunk after sending our arms, I suddenly had a stomachache, and then went to the toilet.. and oh man.. I exploded.. ok.. no more details.. juz in case u have not ate ur dinner.. =P.. Bathe and bk out for the day.. We were reminded to come back tonite at 2359 for our final NDP rehearsal before the actual NDP! So ya..

I somewhat can't wait for the actual NDP to happen.. I seriously think I wld really cry at the National Anthem when sung on 09/08/06.. I think will have watery eyes but probably not cry lah.. Cry is juz too exaggerating!

Then came home and ate lunch (Lunch was fried bee hoon bought frm my hse opposite!).. Then watch the taped telecasts of Singapore Idol (SI) Spectaculars Show & its results show!

On the SI Extra segment, I actually saw almost everything which happened last Sat @ the Indoor Stadium.. Can't remember? Go read my blogpost dated 30/07/06 (Sunday).. and of course, I did see some of the familiar Airforce GOH guys (in particular, 1 sgt from Paya Lebar Airbase.. I think he is now a superstar liaox!.. and he actually praised Jasmine on TV.. he said tat "Jasmine is pretty!").. Of course I think she's pretty too! Dun you all think so? =)

I was then so inspired to do blog banners that I did it and spend abt an hour on 3 simple banners.. see below loh..
(Blog banners is my term of referring to picture headings like: "Singapore Idol Updates", "Goodbye", "The Exclusives"..)

So there I did and ya.. came up with a new segment in my blog (which will appear anytime after the SI Results Show on Thurs!).. so ya.. Hope you all enjoy it! =) For Singapore Idol fans, this is for you =)

Starting frm this week, I'm gonna give you readers updates on what I think is interesting abt recent Singapore Idol episode! I will include some real exclusive stuff abt contestants (but dun expect it to be so juicy.. its like some of my observations and stuff, but its all exclusive, becos its coming out of my mouth or shld I say mind/hands? haha.. ok.. being lame!).. Just in case you all miss out who was eliminated at the recent Singapore Idol Results Show, I'm also gonna update here.. so this is gonna be exciting? I suppose =)


Jay Lim is the latest contestant on Singapore Idol to be voted out!

He sang "Supreme" by Robbie Williams during the "British Invasion" theme for this week's Spectaculars Show (which happened last Wednesday, 02/08/06).. It was to his misfortune tat the judges didn't really like the song becos its simply not him!

However, during this morning's interview with the Class 95 Morning Express, he defended his stand that its not that he didn't want to sing a song which is "so him", instead, he wanted to bring out to the audience at the show as well as the viewers at home another side of him, probably his naughty side! However, the choice to being "not him" proved to be too much, resulting in his elimination from the competition. He added that if he had known tat the viewers and judges wanted to see the "real him", he would have chosen, "Your Song" by Elton John!

But oh well.. its just too bad tat he is eliminated! My mum actually had a lot of high hopes for him becos of his voice and stuff, and I guess my mum is a bit disappointed that Jay Lim is out! So does this mean tat Jay Lim is an aunty-killer? ha.. I dun koe! The guess is up to you readers =)


After watching today's taped telecast of the Singapore Idol Spectaculars Show, I then knew that Jasmine (picture on right) actually stays near my neighbourhood! Fwah! How cool is that rite?

And she also introduced my favourite Indonesian Food Stall (opposite my house!), which I always frequent lah! I tell you the truth.. I can eat this stall 7 days a week and always the same food, and I dun get 'sick and tired' of it!! Its tat shoick lah! The thing which Jasmine likes most is its deep fried fish.. yes! The deep fried fish is super nice lah! =).. Well.. I'm drooling liaox..

But I still can't get over the fact tat Jasmine stays in my neighbourhood! Guys, dun envy me =P..

Ok lah.. my Singapore Idol segment ends here! Stay tuned nxt wk for more updates..

Fwah! Its been 2 hrs since I started this blog! This blog looks simple rite? But lots of effort goes into it lah! Ha.. ok lah.. I gtg liaox..

Tml is NDP rehearsal @ Stadium and Sun is duty at camp.. so the nxt time I login and update u all, it wld be Monday liaox.. So I shall cya ppl then ya =) Cya!
