Great World CIty

went to great world city on fri, just after bookout... it's been quite long since i last went there and there're some changes there... Got new basement 2 but then the whole shopping centre looks quite dead even on fri nite... i think is becos of the location (must take bus) and after OG left, there's not much other things to do...

i went there to meet up with my former crusade DG members... we have commited to meet once a month, and the reason it's held there is becos the staff got a discovery weekend at BB HQ just beside great world... so managed to revisit the place and to catch up with the rest, esp 1 of them is going ex-wallaby next mth...

DeepaRaya holiday!

it's the starting of the festive seasons! with deepavali and hari raya just days apart... but as i was doing shift duty i was on duty from last fri to sun, thus was working thru the deepavali... then i off on mon and tue, which includes today's hari raya puasa...

yest i went back to SP crusade to meet up with some friends... quite alot of NS guys went back yest, esp those in BMT as tue is holiday so usually they won't ask the recruits to go back tekong for just 1 day, so they give them off...

we decided to go for dinner, together with the rest of the crusaders... at first we planned to go thai express at tiong bahru plaza, but it was full house liao... then our group like very big.. abt 20+ ppl... so we decided to go to harbour city restaurant which is like very little ppl inside and is the only place which can accomodate us in one piece... it's like quite a high class restaurant then to us ppl which behave like we're in clementi kopitiam like very funny... also the food is very ex.. a plate of fried rice cost $9++... then beside that my table alone got $17 worth of peaunts, tea, towel... so is like each person must pay $12...still got another table...

beside that it's quite good to rekindle those days together while i'm still student, and catch up with them... but now the trend still like not much year 1s are joining us seniors... hope more can join in the future...

and btw, selemat hari raya puasa!

a peaceful mount...

after an evenful mount last week (which i can't elaborate much as it is sensitive, cos it's SAF ma), nothing much happened this week... just that too many ppl got att C so there's not enough manpower... have to do 24 hrs duty over 2 days... usually is around 20 hrs...

nowadays the haze seems to be getting worse... the PSI is over 100 for some of the days... have to wear maze for duty if not cannot stand the smell... and somemore it's unhealthy... and i think becos of the haze more ppl are falling sick...

yest after dismount we were told to clear some of the prows... but the one which i'm working on got a big ant nest there so we could not finish the task... after that some of us went to sakura at parkway parade for a high tea buffet... it cost $16.90... is consider cheap compare to alacarte sushi as the market price is $1.90 per plate... but if compare to lunch which is $20, is consider ex cos the lunch got alot more things, beside the sushi...

Christmas Decoration in Orchard & going to HK in Dec...

today i passed by orchard road and they've already start putting up the christmas decorations... esp those outside paragon and crown prince hotel... but the rest not up yet except the lights on the trees... but most should be up within the next 2 weeks... and also the chinatown mooncake festival lights will end today...

yest went to chinatown with my family to book the tour to hong kong... the package cost like $900+ then plus taxes all these more than $1000... cos is the holiday season so no choice lor... my bro can't go other time... then dun want to take budget airline as the flight is 4 hrs... will only take to thailand if i want i think...

i going there from 5 - 9 Dec so have to apply overseas leave... just nice right after my church PULSE camp which is from 1 - 4 Dec... like going to be the same story as 2003 as this time round got Asian games in Doha during this period instead of SEA games... luckily the Meta is on 26-30 Dec and not clashes during the same week as in 2003... ironically, i last went for holiday with my family in 03 and the last PULSE camp was also in 03...

Vivocity

since vivocity opened last week, i've went there twice to have a look... it's a very big mall, but currently not all the shops are opened... there's even some pools, water features and an amphitheatre on the level 3 rooftop... the mall also got 3 big food courts, not to say there's another 2 at harbourfront mall...

as for other things harbourfront mall already got the BiG store which is quite big then now there's even more things at Vivo... confirm this place is bigger than suntec and perhaps we'll be meeting here for gathering in the future...

sianz... have to go back camp to take photos tmr...

today and tmr are suppose to be my dismount day... but then b4 we went off today we were told that there's a photo taking for the squadron tmr and all of us have to go back... this is like very sianz, cos have to travel so far just to take that photos... waste time... plus it eats into the rest day... same as last time on 16 sep go there for 45mins but spend more than 3 hrs on the road...

luckily the reporting time is 11.30am... if the usual time then even more sianz.. have to wake up so early...
