Went out with Michy today. Haha. Of course, as always, full of laughter and bullying. Laugh only. Don't hold back and keep inside, because I know you can't, especially with me. Not the "ok, I'm not laughing" thingie. Heh. =D
We ate LJS for.. err... was it lunch or dinner? =x As usual she ate a lot and one of the fastest girl to finish her food I've known, probably the fastest. She finished 2 pieces of fish and a bunch of fries before I finished my meal! Fast! So lets be honest... FAAAATTTTTTT!!! =D Okok, I'll be nicer. BAAAABAAAA GIRL!!! =x
Then, we went window shopping again.
Michy: Oh! I wanna buy a dress! *clap hands*
(There's a shoe shop right in front of her)
Michy: Oh! Lets go in there! *pulls me in*
Right... Girls will be girls. Heh. And as usual, in the end, she never bought the dress, but a Korean drama VCD series. -.- And I bought something to wear; a Jazz Festival T-shirt from Bosini. Girls will be girls. No comments.
Next is my favourite part. FFFFOOOOOODDDDD! CAKES! TIRAMISU AND MOCHA CAKES!!! At Marina Square's Henderson's. Yes ahhhh! Sinful food make us happy. Here's the pics.
That's my tiramisu cake. Heavenly~
That's Michy's Mocha "cake of the day special". Chocolatey~
That's my after picture, neat, satisfied.
That's hers, messy! Still say I eat like small boy!
And in the end, we're happy people! The 1st picture we've taken together! Yay.
So after all the sins, we went to the bay and just sit down, stone, sing and relax. Heh. Hope that relief some stress from all those boring studies! =D
I'll keep my distance. From the both of you.

Tired! And emotions just ran loose...... You can't think straight, you don't have the energy and strength to pull yourself up from the stuffs that's dragging you down. All your weakness, your vulnerability, shown to the world, and that is when the world knows about your true self.
Don't you just hate it when that happens? Emotions..... I hate them.. Ban me from falling in love please.

Spent the whole week in camp. Was suppose to go out field but I reported sick for my skin infection. So end up stayed in camp while the rest go for training.
Hmm. Let's see what I did. Cleaned the toilet and the bunk. Toilet, 2.5 hours. Bunk, 5 hours. 7 hours of cleaning, alone. I don't know why I did it. I just wanted to do something for the guys, after they come back from training, would be nice to have a nice clean bunk to rest in and clean toilets to bathe in. Purely because of that.
2.5 hours in the toilet cleaning ain't funny. Especially, when there are gremlins living in there. Yes, it was that dirty. Fire hose, plastic broom and brushes. And lots of detergent. By the time I'm done, the toilet's taps are so shiny that they looked brand new. Lol, and the showers, you could bathe barefooted in it. For the guys.
5 hours of spring cleaning the bunk is like running 10km. No kidding, the sweat, the hunger, the thirst, my legs ache after cleaning. Took the pains to clean the fan with soap and water and wiped every dusty surface there is, except the windows. All the while listening to Class 95, and singing. The new guys that had just posted in were with their "wtf" face whenever they walked pass the bunk. Well, I'm pretty sure girls would love to see guys bare bodied, all sweaty doing spring cleaning right? You girls get the kick out of it right?! Heh! Ok, shut it up. After all the wiping, sweeping and tidying, I went to every bed and fold their clothes nicely and arranged them on the bed. For the guys.
After all that work, I'll go for a run, and hit the gym. Evening came, all fresh after a bathe and nice dinner, I'll just lie on the bed with my guitar and chill. Cool eh?
Being positive and not lazy. That's my secret. Laziness is a habit that can be broken only by yourself. I can tell myself to do long hours of work and still be positive about it. Even if its something I don't like to do. Its all in the mind, whether you want to do it or not. Don't blame anything else but yourself first, after that seek out what you can do about it. When I do things for the benefit of others I won't ask for anything in return. If I do something extra just for the better of something and no one appreciates it, I don't care. I chose to do it, just because I want to do it, not to impress people or to show people how good or kind I am. That 7.5 hours of shit I don't think many people would love to do it, but on the positive side, I'm doing it for my friends. I don't expect them to say thanks or a pat on the back. Don't keep wanting stuffs in return. When it becomes a habit, you'll feel sucky after you do something and didn't get anything.
And DON'T DENY your MISTAKES or FACTS. We are human and we make mistakes. We tend to be lazy and our egos makes it harder for us to accept certain facts and mistakes. Everyone does it, its how each of us handle it. I kick my laziness step by step. The first step is the hardest, to start doing something. Once you get the momentum, the other steps will follow, through determination and motivation.
Those two words can come from friends and family, but the best determination and motivation is yourself. If you can't motivate yourself to move, no one can help you, no matter how much they try. In the end, you'll just piss people off with you're low self-esteem and laziness. Again, don't deny it. Its time for us to just shed our egos and just improve ourselves. Improve your life. You're not gonna do it, then it'll be FUCKED UP till you finally realise it. Its not army, its not the surroundings, its not the food, its just you. Learn to take it in you and face it like a man. Not blame it on other stuffs.
Live your life to the fullest, we've got no time to feel down about anything.

Hoho! The 1st batch of ORD Dinner's pictures have finally arrived! Here's some of them!
Us with our OC, Cpt. Jason Yip.
No words can describe how I felt that night on stage. It was a great night. Everyone was in a great mood. Its gonna be the last gathering we had as a unit in the army. Soon people will be ORD-ing in May, and finally in June. We'll go our seperate ways, after spending 1 year and a half or more together.
The performance, well that sabo-ed turned out to be a freaking great experience. 3rd time I had a group of crazy fucks moshing in front of me, twice of those in the army. When we sound checked, everyone just left their seats and come in front of the stage, with cameras and video cameras. You can see it all in the pictures! They're crazy! At one point the guys at the back won't be able to see us because of the bodysurfings and people coming up on stage to take pictures with us! Haha! Once in my lifetime I felt like a rock star! Although I'm just playing the bass, the feeling is there. The feeling of performing with a mad crowd is priceless. Can't freaking wait to gig again
Spent the Sunday with Yk and our acoustic guitars at esplanade. Just chill out, sit at the underground area where people break dance, juggle, etc. Played the guitar and sang. We even came out with an original with my random lyrics/poems. Then, after eating dinner, we sat behind Marina Square near the Golden Village Cinema. And again, we played the guitar and sang. Its been quite some time since we did this together and I'm looking forward for more. Just us, best buddies.
Sorry for the harshness. Didn't mean to be that way. I thought you meant something else. Need anything, just ask, I'll help if I can. Again, sorry for the harshness. Hope you're doing well. See ya around.
Some of the guys in my platoon.
Us with our OC, Cpt. Jason Yip.
The amount of booze these mofos drank. Crazy fucks.
The Great YAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM SEEEEEEEEENNNNGGGGGGG!!!!
Told you they were crazy fucks.
And yes, the performance by the weapons platoon and me.
I look nervous? OF COURSE! I HAD NO IDEA WTF WE'RE GONNA PLAY TILL I'M ON STAGE!
The crowd was mad!
THEY WERE MAD!!!! Yes, that's someone bodysurfing.
Yeap, in the end, the crowd was freaking awesome.

Something different for a change. Something for the Malay peeps.
Kekasih
Akan ku pintal buih-buih,
menjadi tali,
mengikatmu.
Akan ku anyam gelombang-gelombang,
menjadi hamparan,
ranjang tidurmu.
akan ku tenun awan-gemawan,
menjadi selendang,
menudungi rambutmu.
akan ku jahit bayu gunung,
menjadi baju,
pakaian malammu.
akan ku petik bintang timur,
menjadi kerongsang,
menyinari dadamu.
akan ku jolok bulan gerhana,
menjadi lampu,
menyuluhi rindu.
If you need someone to talk to just ask, my ears are always listening.

Had my ORD dinner with the rest of the ORD-ing personels from Echo, Foxtrot and Support Coy. It was the last time we're gonna see each other together. The dinner was at Furama Riverfront hotel ballroom. It was great. Atmosphere was great. Everyone's just went wild and be crazy. Everything, from toasting beer, to cheering for the lucky draw winners, to the contests, was celebrated with loud cheers and whistles. Everyone knew each other. It was great.
I was sabo-ed to perform, without preparations or anything. I knew the song list when I get on stage. Haha. Nervous as hell I tell you! Was performing with the weapon's platoon guys, Coco, Imran, Gabriel and Farid. I was pushed to the bass guitar. The 1st song was Sweet Child O' mine. There was a freaking mosh pit in front of us! People are bodysurfing and singing together! Fuck. By the middle part of the song they're on stage taking photos/videos of us. Lol. The next song was Here Without You. Again the crowd swayed and sang along. Came up to the stage and pose pictures with us. Haha. I feel like a damn rockstar man! Great fun, freaking great people. This is the 2nd time in army that I've performed in front of a freaking lot of crazy people, and I'll never forget that feeling!
Sigh. Guess its not such a bad thing after all in the army, except for the commanders. After the dinner, I hang around to help Coco load up the equipments. Echo company stayed behind, some of them were in tear, hugging their platoon mates. Its kinda sad, leaving your brothers that you spent your 2years with. Its understandable for those men to cry. Life's gonna be different for everyone. Hope we all live it to the fullest.

Lets talk about being positive and being logical at the same time. Like they say, to win or succeed, you have to be positive all the time. Well, that doesn't mean every single thing you must be positive about it. Logic comes into play and that's where you have to think of ways to defy that logic. Nothing's simple in life. Suck it up, and just accept it as it is, then suddenly life seems happier.
Life's just suck and you feel shitty about it because you think its shitty. Take that shitty-ness and put it at the back of your head, so that instead of just feeling shitty, do something about it! Nothing you can do you say? Did you try? If you did, you failed? So you're giving up? No solutions? Don't know what to do? Friends! True friends. They're there for you to talk to and give any kind of help they could, any kind of advice they might know. In the end, there's so much a friend could do to help you, only you can change your life yourself.
Stand up! Take that 1st step. Don't be lazy. It's your legs, not your friends', your siblings', your parents'. Not sure whether you're taking the right 1st step? Ask. Always ask. Anyone, including yourself. Are you doing the right thing for you? Can't make that 1st step? You don't know how to move the leg? Again, ask. No one's stupid just because he or she asked. No wrong in asking too. Whoever you ask, if they don't know, they'll tell you they won't know. If they do know, and they're friends, they'll tell you. Put all the shame, pride, ego, etc. behind. With all that advice, you just have to see which one you'll trust and follow in the end.
Now to continue walking after that 1st step. There'll be stones, rocks and gaps along the way. Many obstacles in life that in a way blocks if not a clear path. How do you solve that problem? How do you move a rock bigger than you? Its too heavy to be pushed, too hard to break. Easy! Walk around it. See a river so wide, current so strong. What do you do? No, no. Don't walk upstream. It'll take you forever. Cheat! Call a friend from the other side. Ask him/her to throw a line across and help you across the river. What I mean is that, some problems can be solved on our own. Through past experiences and lessons, we'll know what to do. That's why its so important to learn from your mistakes. Bigger problems we sometimes can't solve it on our own. Friends, people who care, families, they're there to lend us a hand. They ask for no favours in return, so don't hurt them by taking their love and care for granted.
I can't stand being sad, or emo, or angry. It just drives me crazy. Sad, and I won't be able to think straight for long. Emo, I'll give up on a lot of stuffs. Angry, I'll just hurt people, whether its physically or mentally. Being happy and cheerful, that's something everyone should be feeling. Even though you're down, be happy that you have friends that still cares. Be happy. So others will be happy too. It works. Ask my closest friends. We're all happily laughing away without a care everytime we meet. Even when either one of us has problems.
Oh, some memories from the good ol' Sparks days.
HEHEHEHEHE. OH LE LE, OH LA LA! MACHE LA BELLE, MACHE LA BAKKA!
WAHAHAHAHHAHAHA =D

ORD's parade finally's over. Another day closer to ORD. Next will be the Taiwan trip. Oh well, taking it as a holiday. Heh.
Happy. Happy. Happy. That's all I'm feeling right now. Lots of reasons to be happy. Helping people, nearing ORD, meeting old friends, meeting new friends, being able to sing and play the guitar, met my Squishyie, having fun with my camp mates, etc. There's absolutely no excuse not to be happy at all. Lol. I'm finally able to read the people around me much better. Their emotions, their problems. Helps a lot.
Next step in life; working life. Hmm, I wonder how it'll be. Had my last interview with my PC, 1WO Jaffar. Talked about some normal stuffs like views on the management and life there, etc. Then, guess what he did? He salute me! WTF?! Uncle Jaffar salute me!? Hoho. Anyone wanna buy 4D number come find me. Heh. Anyway, back to working life. I wish to be a regular part-timer at esplanade. Full-time soundman outside. Yeap. Go as far as I can, doing something that I loved to do since secondary school days. Hopefully, I can. Wish me luck! xD
I'm currently in love with the song Sway. Just makes me dance and groove on the spot. Lol. Covered by Michael Buble. Had no idea who's the original from. Francis Bernatchez? Anyway, here they are, both versions. Enjoy. I'll add the simplified chords for you guys to try out. Follow normal latin guitar strumming.
Sway
[Gm]
When marimba rhythms start to play
[Dm]
I can hear the sounds of violins
I can hear the sounds of violins
[When marimba rhythms start to play,
Dance with me, make me sway.
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore,
Hold me close, sway me more.
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease.
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me. ] x2

I'm not suppose to fall. Not now. Not too soon.
Yet I'm falling helplessly, deeper and deeper.
All the rules are broken.
Broken by my ignorance.
What have I done?
I've let myself down.
Yet I'm falling helplessly, deeper and deeper.

Did so much catching up with a lot of old friends. Man, it's been 5 years since I last met some of them. 5 years. Time flies so fast. We were in secondary school back then. We were close friends. Missed them.
2 of them are married, 1 with children. Another 2 are getting engaged. Fast eh? Now everyone's doing their own stuffs, living their own life.
Jin Han, my closest friend back then. The 'Yandao' ah beng with his non-stop nonsense, though sometimes corny but who gives a damn. Now he's a delivery guy at Sakae Sushi. Happily attached to his beloved girlfriend. Still the same guy, the same ah beng attitude, different life.
Valerie, one of 3 closest godsisters of mine. Still the same short bubbly cute girl. Still loves to argue with his bro. Still as huggable as before.
Ashiq, the nerdy mat that sometimes tries too hard to be cool. Still the same nerdy mat that sometimes tries too hard to be cool, and fatter. Hairstyle still the same since 4 years ago.
Irawati, my niece, somehow. Haven't got the chance to meet up with her but I finally get her contact number, after years. Still attached to Azrin. 3 years together, wonder they will get engaged.
Fazila, my 'lil sister', although she's older than me. Still as bubbly as ever, as cute as ever. Prettier though. Never knew she was with Jinhan for a year plus. Weird couple, but still sweet.
Daniel, the nerd who tries too hard to be a bad boy. Didn't get a chance to meet up with him. Heard from the rest he's in army and is attached. Still trying to be a bad boy.
Elisa, the sexy slut. Last saw her around Bukit panjang. Still the same girl. Can't people just change for the better.
Aunty Linda, my mummy. Still works at Bukit Batok West(BBW) Mac Donald's as a crew leader. Still the loving and caring mummy that she always has been. She doesn't seemed to age. Love her.
Aunty Nyuk Fong, the Ah lian char bor. Still fierce and brutal, though she's friendly and relek. Still sneaks out food for us to eat.
Aunty Asia, the typical makcik. Still changing her hair colour. Still enjoys talking to us. My heart melts when she cried as I walked into the Mac to say hello. I didn't expect her to be that happy to see me again. She used to talk to me about her problems, family. Cried in front of me. Her listening ear.
Uncle Eng Soon, the tiny uncle, about 1.1m in height. Our very own maintainance guy. Last heard he was admitted to the hospital. Been in the ICU for 3 months. No one managed to get the ward number and hospital he's at. Sigh. Hope he's alright.
Uncle Si Tang and Aunty Mai Lian, the cute China couple. Aunty Mai Lian still the slow motion moving aunty, singing her chinese opera as she works. Uncle Si Tang still the Chee Ko Pe. Nuff said.
Aunty Helen, soft spoken friendly aunty. She retired and moved to somewhere. Never get the chance to say hello.
Lastly, me, the 'good boy'. Not good at all I guess. Still remember, that was the period where I was recovering from grief. The reason I work, to occupy my mind, keep myself busy. Away from thoughts. At a time it was good. And then, I left. Felt like it. Wanted to get away. Just wanted to started another life. Life transition. Leaving everything behind, except memories. Its cruel in a way, especially to some people. Just have to go away.
When I looked back at the life that I left behind, I can't help but wonder how I could just leave behind all those. I missed them. When we sat down and talked about ourselves in the past, we just laugh and smile. At that point of time, we're living our lives together. Now we're living separately yet, I don't know how to explain this feeling that I had when we sat down together. Its like we've never been apart for 5 years. Started chatting like in the old days, sitting outside of MacD.
Before we parted, Valerie asked me, "When will we meet again? Don't let it be years, please bro?". Aunty Asia said, "Don't run away and disappear again, Fie. Come back once awhile and visit us, ok?". I just felt guilty. Left without properly saying goodbye. Never thought it would mean much. I've apologised though I know apologising isn't good enough.
So damn sorry.....

End of my final deployment. Clearing my offs, ORD parade and waiting for the Taiwan trip. 2 weeks++ will be there. Taking it as a holiday with my campmates before we ORD. Another turning point in life.
Studio's down. Yk's neighbour's complaining. No more place to jam other than jamming studios. Time for a little change in our approach with making music.
Meanwhile, I've got nothing much to do during my off days. I guess I'll catch up with some old friends. And maybe do some reading. Gyms. Running. Guitar. Singing. Wanna try something new but I'm not sure what. Get a car/bike license perhaps?
I need some fun. Real thrilling fun. Getting bored here. Missed the CS days.
