a busy mount in the middle of CNY...

just book out after another wkend mount, and its in the middle of the cny, the 6th, 7th & 8th day... cos there's lots of extra tasking and some ppl still go to report sick... although i know some is real like fever cos got proof but some ppl is like trying to get away with the things without thinking that others have to cover the duties for them... i dunno if its true or not la but i'm disappointed with it...

then the worst thing is that we had ippt b4 the mount, which make our legs aching then still have to stand long hrs... and btw, i only pass sit up, the rest of the station all fail... but its a very bad time to take the ippt cos it's only the 6th day of cny and everyone had been eating qutie alot for the past weeks and not train much... so have to try again next time...

Happy CNY, the year of the pig!

today is already the 4th day of the cny loh... and for the past 4 days had been going alot of places although i had to do duty on the 2nd day...

new year's eve was as usual, had reunion dinner with my aunt... after that went to chinatown to see the firecracker and get some cny goodies... but there's sooooooo many ppl... luckily still managed to the the crackers and get the muah chee at $5 a pack... there u pay $5 for a bag and can stuff as much as possible into the bag and nobody cares... haha

on the 1st day cos my father side didnt gather at a specific place and my dad is the 2nd smallest in the family line so had to visit their house one by one... altogether i think i visited 7 houses all over the island and after that went to river hong bao... but its too hot and stuffy and crowded there so stay there for a while only then went to the marina sq foodcourt to watch the fireworks... then 2nd day suppose to visit my mother side which all will gather at my grandpa's house so only go just 1 place... but got to do duty then must get my bro to get the ang bao...
yest book out quite early then went to 2 of my church friends house for the cny visitation, which we also played some games there...after that went to river hong bao again... yest not that much ppl so i think some ppl have to work the next day ma, so easier to see...

i also got drive for part of the journey for the 3 days and i think the total distance travelled by the car can almost reach Genting liao... wow... quite alot man... i saw the meter its about 350km, can past KL and plus abit more is genting... haha... will be dismounting till tmr then after that is another weekend mount...

Valentine's, total defence, CNY...

3 events in 5 days... valentine's, total defence and chinese new year... and as such, on wed b4 we take over duty, there was a buffet and a mandrain orange presentation by the CO... and also a speech for total defence... so it's to celebrate and commerate 3 events in one go... the buffet food was quite alot, and after eating that, can no need to eat the SFI lunch and dinner... unfortunatly the lunch that day was good also but the dinner sucks... so basically didnt eat much after the buffet...

yest went to causeway pt to watch epic movie... it's quite a funny show with a combination of a few movie... but it's quite disappointing that the movie itself is only abt 65 mins long... one of the shortest movie i've watch... althought most of the things are funny, most of it doesnt make sence in the real world... there's also 3 more movies with started on thurs, like Ghost rider, protege and just follow laws.. and also norbit tmr... so its like so many movie... if watch all even with ang bao money also must think first... haha...

its cny eve liao... and going to have reunion dinner soon... after maybe go chinatown to see if got cheap things or not and see the countdown... Wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year! :)

5 more days to CNY!

it's 5 more days to CNY, and the festive mood is getting thicker and thicker... the cny this year falls on one of the later date, so there's more time for preparation, cos last year this time yuan xiao jie was already over... :p

but the sian thing is i'll have to do duty on the 2nd day of new year (19 Feb)... actually my shift was suppose to do on 2nd & 3rd day but the other shift say they dun want to do both eve and 1st day... but doing on 1st & 2nd day is like more worst, cos if u really stay in for both days u dun get any ang baos... :( but luckily got stand down some chkpts so dun need so many ppl and half of us can go out on each day...

then yest night go to this restaurant called noble house at UIC building... then cos of the cny the ala cart buffet price was $40+++ instead of around 30... after adding those svc chrge gst almost 50... so ex sia... i wasn't the organiser but even he didnt expect it... so 50 bucks gone liao for the mth... after the dinner most of them want to go boat quay to 'drink', as in not normal drinking but those at the pub lor u know lar... but i just go there see for a while then got to go liao cos its running late and i dun want to take cab home... but i also dun like that type of place la, not suitable for me also...

last mount our old specs came back to do a full mount duty for the last time b4 they ord... some are going to get back the pink IC next wk and some in march... :p then me still got 7 more mths to go... :(
its the wkend again... but today is also the 1st anniversary for one of my sec sch friend who had a motorcycle accident and passed away last year... the memory of her in my mind is still quite fresh actually although we didnt get to meet up that often after grauduating... but while in sec sch she's one of those whom i talk and went out more often in our group... so its so sad that she has to leave us so early...
then today managed to persaude my parents to go down to the business office to take a look at some of the products... although they didnt buy any yet, but i think its still a good start... hope that it can go well as i proceed further but of course with army now and church commiment and also with sch starting in aug i dunno how much time i have for it...
