hello public

the twentyfirst.

such a significant number in the in the age of mankind. it marks the next step. where so the journey into adulthood begins.

and for my friend and neighbour, fara, a ceremony was a must to mark this transition.

venue: civil service club
























and no it wasnt like a clubbing kind of club. lol. it was more like a really cool community centre with a jackpot room and this really cool looking huge swimming pool.

























i can just imagine myself on a lazy sunday morning, lounging on a deck chair, wearing a '2 sizes too small' stripey speedo, reading a copy of men folio while lathering myself in tanning oil.

a chilled thermos of birds nest would be lovely too.

well, all i need to do is lose 20kilos. maybe i just shouldnt eat. does water even have calories?

for the time being, i can just imagine.


anyways,

so i brought sharif along to this party cause i didnt want to be a lonely loser and anyway, there was bound to be food there. hahaha!!

when we reached the venue the whole place was crawling with relatives. it felt like i attended a wrong wedding. hahaha! but after a while, fara came out to say hi to all the guests and that was the cue for us to pass her the present.

she then decided to grab people to join in the games. well, here comes my perfect timing to dissapear into the crowd of people at the buffet area. apparently, my camouflaging abilities are not that excellent enough. probably i'm just a natural stand-out u see. so she came in and dragged me out. literally.

and so there i was propelled into the centre of the room for the cackling mockery of the crowd, especially a certain giggling friend of mine who flipped out his camera to record down the whole ordeal.

contrary to popular belief, i dont enjoy the attention.



























although i might not have won the game of charades they call Taboo, i did have fun. hahaha!


then they was of course the speech between the birthday girl and her parents.

























and we did manage to snap a picture with the birthday girl who was really busy shaking hands with everybody.






























well then, i had to rush off soon after as i had less than 2 hours to book into camp. but knowing me, i did manage to squeeze in a little time for just one foto.






























once a camwhore, forever one.
hahahaha!!!!


alright la. thats it for this entry.


note to everyone: i love parties!!! invite me to yours! but if you dont, its okay. i know i have the tendency to steal the spotlight. i understand.



muahahahahahahhahahaha!!!!

hello public

you see, i dont really know what to blog about. i dont like have a gazillion ideas running through my mind all the time about blogworthy topics. heck, i dont even bring my cam along anymore when i go out. so when it comes to blogging time every week, i'm stumped.

well, lets talk about my camp life.

the previous couple of weeks has been a rather busy one. there's been a lot of training to gear us towards the fitness test that was conducted a few days ago.

i'm actually quite happy with the results. visible improvements have been seen in my physical fitness standards. but of course, i've yet to reach my ultimate goal that i've set for myself. so that still means that i have to continue training even harder to meet the standards.

also in the coming weeks, there'll be loads of jungle training to overcome.

knowing me, i simply abhor the rural life. being tarzan has never been one of my ambitions. but then, its not like i have a choice.


bleah.


well, at least i make up for my sucky weekdays by having wonderful weekends.


like last week where i caught up with my favouritest girls on the planet over dinner at chomp chomp. the food was a delightful gastronomical experience and i'm definitely sure to be back there some time soon.

following that, we decided to continue the night simply lounging underneath the stars exchanging details of our lives over a glass of sauvignon blanc for me while the ladies sipped on chardonnay and carbernet sauvignon.






















it was simply a wonderful evening.


and then to make up for my previous weekday, i simply went all out this weekend shaking wad my momma gave me at zouk.

trust me, daddy would have been proud. LOL!

i met up with some of my camp mates for a boys night out and we partied till dawn. and by the amount i drank that night, i'd be pissing vodka the entire of the next day.

from jugs of vodka ribena, vodka cranberry, vodka lime, vodka redbull, bourbon coke and to all the times i astonishingly vanished and made my way to the bar for my own secret little drinks. loved it.

phuture was abit boring in the beginning but turned fantastic after 1am. but boy was the place packed as hell. i felt like a drunk dancing sardine. zouk was of course great as usual and there was quite a lot of angmohs there.

met a few familiar faces that night. and you should have seen the shock on my face when i saw my platoon commander(pc) there. hahaha!!

made our way to boat quay later around 4am for prata. the guys decided to continue with some club called Rave at boat quay. but then my legs were begging for mercy and the effects of waking up that day at 545am was starting to sink in.

so i cab my way home.




well, its good to know that even though my weekdays are fucked up, i manage to totally forget all about it and enjoy my weekends.


after all, thats all i have to look forward to.




well then, i gotta go get ready for a friend's birthday party. till next time.

hello public

last weekend i met up with my fren, sharif for a little tete a tete.

this time, i was on a mission though. my search for the perfect 300thread count bedsheets and a fabulous fine bone china teacup set.

bedsheets for camp.

teacup set for mum's birthday present.

however, my unfortunate search for all things in perfection is an incurable habit.

for me, my life is on a constant search for perfection. i desire to believe that such a thing exist not only in mind and spirit but in body as well.

but this near impossible search contradicts my longing to reality.

in the end, i settle for less than perfect.

but this is the truth.

there is only one perfection that exist, and that is god.

well, trying to steer away from sounding like your city harvest's preacher, instead let me tell you bout what happened during my search for the perfect bedsheets.

i made my way to aussino plaza singapura. over here was where i met the salesperson who definitely had never heard of the GEMS campaign.

lets call her aunty popiah. cause she looks like a popiah seller.

everytime i looked through the bedsheets, aunty popiah would start rearranging them back in place right in front of me. she asked me what i was looking for in a poor command of the english language. when i told her it was bedsheets while i browsing through the towel section, she kept pushing us to the bedsheet section. and bellowing in her loud irritating voice that all the cheap bedsheet were on the other racks and that the ones we've been looking at were new arrivals that had no discounts.

to be polite, we made our way there to check it out just in case we might find a few rare gems. on our way there, she stuck like scum in a dirty fishtank. constantly reminding us loudly, just in case we're deaf and forgetful, that these racks we were looking at had all the cheap discounted bedsheets.

oh boy, trust me, all those bedsheets she directed us to were beyond tacky. sharif seemed to be rather peeved at this woman. at times, releasing lashes of sarcasm whenever the woman carried on with her rude demeanor. but of course me being the "long service award" shopper have seen many of this woman's kind and thus i can just mentally ignore her and carry on shopping.

i think i've mellowed down. last time, if i saw such an atrocious act, that woman would have feasted on my verbal diarrhea. i remembered once, there was this salesperson who kept bringing clothes that she thought looks nice on me and suggested that i tried it on.

well, i'm fine with one or two but that is if you actually pick those i fancy. but what she presented me with was ridiculously dowdy. it was those hard selling kind. pushing more clothes to me that SHE thought looked nice on me.

apparently yours truly was a little bit irritated that this woman was hard selling ugly clothes to him. and so i told her nicely,

"gosh, these shirts are so ugly. dont you have any taste?''

i was very polite, with the manner of speaking not the choice of words.

but thankfully that work.

anyways, in the aussino case. i simply ignored the old hag and made do with the purchase and left.

and so made our way to vivocity later where we dined at fig & olive for dinner. not bad i say.




























vivocity looks like a nice place to just chill out.
























so i decided to sit down to chill as well.




























but unfortunately, my peace didnt last long.






























damn those paparazzis!








































yeah right.
