The Day of Saturn.
Yesterday, Saturday. Yes, I was planning to work on yesterday's Saturday afternoon. I went straight to office from home after failing to meet up with a business proposal appointment.
Surprisingly, I only went to the officet to chit-chat with my co-workers and congratulate one who got promoted to a manager.
I suppose I wasn't needed there, so I left immediately after an important company seminar event to meet up with Thomas (Hong Yun).
I met up with Thomas to meet him for dinner, but I didn't expect he was already meeting a girl friend. But I crashed his friend date anyway, I'm quite use to crashing friends meeting friends dates to meet up with new people.
I initially thought it was another of his girl friend life adviser whom I already knew. But it was not. It was a girl I didn't know but got acquainted with her anyway. Her name was Kelly.
We were having small steamboat dinner at Raja Inn in Tiong Bahru Plaza. I didn't talk much. Cos' I already been talking for the whole day, and I am having a slight cough.
Not to mention I'm already crashing people's date :P
Anyway, after the dinner, Kelly left while Thomas and I went to Plaza Singapura's Starbucks to have leisure chit-chat coffee and tea, as well as waiting time to go clubbing later at MoS.
We went to MoS. Initially at 11pm, the crowd is still "weak" as last weekend's and I was thinking of giving up the night. But when the clock hit the midnight, the crowd started to get crowded and packed enough for me to consider it happening.
Soon, Alex, Chee Keong, Chee Keong's god-sister and her girl friends came.
Never liked Chee Keong's god-sister's girl friends. Been out with them to club for the third time already. But they still think they very cool but to me it is "dao".
My judgement of them being "dao" was approved further by Alex and Thomas before I thought I was the one having the perspective problem.
Furthermore, we thought of Chee Keong being a little too prideful. He definitely a failure as an ice-breaker between his girl friends and his other guy friends too.
The clubbing night was dull.
All of us guys were lonely for obvious reason...
...lack of female company.
Hah!

House of Flying Screws, Bolts and Nuts!
I think I'm going nuts!
My life is going to screw up again.
I am trying to get it back on proper tracks.
After trying hard to bolt away from my sideline job, and now that I'm going back, I find it a little hard to adapt again.
Serves me right, but I have no regrets. I made that choice.
Sometimes, I wonder, being an independent thinker like me, am I making too much decisions of my own that I can't handle it myself.
Anyway, my manager is a real bugger at bugging me to go work. Sometimes, she succeeds, sometimes she don't. Its like a battle everytime.
Its difficult for me, as for my character, I know I can't stay in one thing for long, or I'll get sick of it. Especially when there's no real sense of achievement when the achievement is not big enough to fulfill my hunger.
Anyway, I'm going to be promoted on May 1st to the rank of LP2SG (Locally-Promoted 2SG). No pay increment for that rank, although I do have pay increment for being 3SG.
The promotion in rank is purely for a job appointment's requirement's sake as being ammo distributor.
Actually I've been escaping this post for months. Although I'm getting it right now, I don't mind it anymore. At least I serve lesser time in this posted appointment and anyway, I'm going to ORD in another 4 months!
v(^_^)
The job is less labourous but having more responsibility in organising and working with ammunitions distribution, means I must take care in every detail of the red tape to the amount of ammo and such.
Talking about jobs.
I missed another possible great main career job opportunity again for after my ORD, just becos' I haven't ORD in time yet.
Argh!!!

And Look Who's Back!
My dear manager and friend Zuo Qi is finally came back from China!
I went back to office yesterday, obviously prepared for some words with her and from her because I went "missing" away from my sideline work for about a week plus to take a break from this stressful business which I'm never really quite use to.
As usual, even when I went on time to meet her for an appointment, she was never really quite free for me. I can understand that, but I'm getting less patient with it.
So, when we met, I was happy to see her. And obviously, I didn't cover up how happy I was and was not regretful that I went missing from my work when she went away. I did told her I was a much happier person doing the things I wish to do when she's not around.
She's not surprised either with that.
I made some empty promises to her before she left. Never really fulfill them :P
Knowing my character, she did some reprimandations as well as telling me that I need to chnage some of my wilful ways of doing things I want.
I admitted I'm stubborn and strong-willed, and I also know I am quite a playful person. Perhaps being stubborn and strong-willed are my strengths as well as weaknesses if I do not apply them well.
But nether-the-less, I still prefer my own way pursuing freedom. And I need to think of how am I going to integrate it with my job in hand.
Anyway, with Zuo Qi back in town, I also thought about my relationship with her.
I realised I was always in some sort of a love-hate relationship with her. We sometimes argued about the way I worked, sometimes we chatted like normal friends. But getting on to this, being working partners as well as friends is never easy.
Been there, seen that.
I just hope that I could decide on myself what to do next.
I have dreams to fulfill, against goals I set.
Argh... God, give me an idea or a miracle.

My manager's a beauty. But obviously she's classified. But here's a pic of me instead denying my fore-front picture taken in the base of my operations.

Puked :X
Silly me. I didn't publish this blog on the day I written it. Clicked the wrong button on the "Saved as Draft" again, I guess.
Well, had a nice night of puking for the very second time of my life (the first is my first time clubbing at the Illusions Bar).
I went out with Thomas (Hong Yun) and we were soon joined up by June at the Ministry of Sound (MoS). But sadly, my male clubbing counterparts were all either busy with something else or at another club.
Surprisingly, the R&B Smoove dancefloor wasn't as packed with the crowdedness as it was in the past, as we like it to be.
I had to get a glass of vodka orange to get into the beat.
Maybe it was because of a new club open, namely, Butter Factory. And also competition and revival of other but still popular clubs.
So in the end, the three of us had to head down to Double O (dBl O), so as to join up with June's friend, Joseph, along with his other friends.
Before, we went to dBl O, we had to gulp down a jug of Vodka Cranberry we ordered first. So we all played five-ten finger guessing game. I was trying to "save" Thomas from too many drinks as he was driving. But it seems that to do that, I had to drink alot too.
Obviously, Thomas wasn't enjoying himself as much I like to see him to be.
And obviously, he still haven't totaly settle down with his matter of his heart. Although, my friends and I had done all the things possiblr to help him. In the end it was ultimately him who decide when it will stop.
Though I'm as sensitive as a woman, I could see he's just trying to drown himself with friends and activities. And I could see he's been drinking ever since his relationship ended. Almost every week he drank through gathering with friends.
And so we all took Thomas' car and went to dBl O.
It was the first time I went to dBl O. The entry charge is not too bad.
Well-known for its cheap drinks, I had tried the drinks there.
Obviously, mixed with alot of mixtures by ratio, it definitely made my stomach more bloated and uncomfortable.
The only nice drink is the pint of Barcardi Tropic Breezer. The rest of the drinks like vodka lime also had a lot of lime mixture.
Too fruity for my stomach.
Not to mention losing out at five-ten finger guessing game with Joseph's friends, made me drink hell of alot.
But in the end I just couldn't take it. I just puked, for the second time in my clubbing life. I rushed to the toilet to "dispense" more of the alcoholic vomit.
June felt the same effects of the drinks, which made us uncomfortable and tipsy.
So I decided to went dancing with June, to try and dance off the alcoholic effects of the booze. But as it was playing retro instead of our fav R&B, its kinda hard to dance to a proper beat.
Even though I was fine with retro, I'm just not use to it anymorelike the first time I clubbed.
After 3, we all decide to head home. Initially I was planning to take a night bus home as I deem it would be wasting some money if I took cab alone.
But June insisted that I take cab home as she thinks its unsafe for me to do so.
After some persuasion, I eventually took the cab.
Maybe luckily I did.
I felt asleep in the cab. As I was reaching my estate, I was awaken and felt uncomfortable and was pending to puke. But the cab didn't stop right near to the looby area of my flat like I want it to be.
So I covered my mouth, waved like an idiot to hint to the driver to stop. But in the end, I had to open the cab door to puke while the cab travels another few extra tenths of metres.
But I was okay after that.
I manage to sleep well through that night and woke up without any hangover side effects.
This enable me to watch a movie with my cousin Vel properly later on : )

All Right!
Finally got my wish to work at freewill.
At least my manager's manager is easier to talk to than I expected.
I just don't want any gridlock lifestyle.
I am a freedom fighter! A renegade!
Though still working at my pace now, I would still lack the quantity sleep which I need but I must substantially sacrifice some sleep in order to do my sideline, which is normal.
The coughing sickness is the real problem, deprive me of my quality sleep. Had to wake up a few times these three days of coughing in the middle of the nights.
The best thing that happened today is an unexpected MC by an army medical officer when I just visited my camp medical centre to get some cough remedy.
I just got the MC by entertaining what my special sub-unit do, what I do there, Thank-Goodness-Its-Friday and I had absolutely no tasks to do at my company line.
Now I'll just go eat my lunch and go sleep.
Maybe I got to go entertain some friends for mahjong again later in the evening...

Sicko...
Having a really bad sore throat followed by an irritating dry cough. Perhaps I wasn't drinking enough water plus I ate mum's oily fried omellete, which cause the heatiness syndrome.
*Cough! Cough!*
Not a good time when to have such a cough when I think I'm going in a "heated" discussion of how my sideline career holds tomorrow evening with my manager's manager (my manager's away)!
My manager's in China, so I'm kinda taking my chances to take some sort of a "vacation" from the office. Its really quite irritating when they are trying to bug you to move on and work for your career when you're just plain sick and tired of the type of packed lifestyle of doing and doing and doing...
Come on man! Give me a break!
Get a life!

Easter Saturday.
Its been a long day. I stayed at home today the whole day just to clean up my room and sort out all my stuff today. From my wardrobe organisation, my study table sorting, make my bed and even cleaning my fan.
God, it was tired. But now my room is very neat and organised. Think I'll start re-decorating my blue wall with my movie postcard collections.
As for yesterday, I went for an Easter service at the Singapore Expo, of City Harvest Church, along with newlyweds Linda and Jason.
Though I'm not really a Christian, I'm glad I attended it with my grandfather's Cross. There and then, I know why he became a Christian.
At the service, I manage to watch the great story drama on stage of Jesus' service to mankind and his sacrificial cruxification to his ressurection.
Managed to talk to Him for a while. And He gave me what I needed at that time.
Peace of my mind and heart.
No commitment to join the church yet though.
Not ready to give up up sinnings! (As in drinking, cursing, swearing...!)
After the service, I departed with the newlywed couple to visit the Changi Airport for a while, alone.
I managed to get something...

The beautiful tarmac and airplanes watched from the viewing mall.
Starsbucks, MacDonald's and others in the waiting area of the boarding terminal.
Headin' back home...
...via Changi Airport MRT...
...bringing back some lovely, sweet, Belgian dark chocolate truffles!

Imperfect Weather but a Perfect Day!
Rainy dayz. Don't you just hate it when you're planning to head for the great outdoors for fun.
Yesterday was the Good Friday, the day Jesus sacrificed his blood for the sins of men. But sadly, it got to rain for Him.
(Sadly, I still manage to do an unworthy sin going clubbing yesterday. Amen. Not to mention a scare of my father having a potential heart attack the night before... But fortunately, my father was fine.)
Huimin, Hong Yun (Thomas), Chee Wee and I planned to head for the East Coast for some cycling and for me, its rollerblading.
Even thoguh when we set off from the west side of Singapore, we were hoping that the east side bring sunshine to us. Though we did kind of lost our way in Hong Yun's car, the weather was still fine.
But to our disappointment. It started to rain on time when we just managed to get a parking lot. And when we reached the McDonald's, the downpoured just drenched anything!
Many people went into the Mac for shelter. And it was actually flooding ankle-deep just our near a small children's playground...
The RAIN is sure BIG!
After having our lunch standing up due to lack of tables, we didn't wait for the merciless rain to stop. We all just ran under the rain to Hong Yun's car!
Huimin simply gave up running, especially after she plunged her shoes in a deep puddle with her holding some newspaper covering her head. Then she went into a nearby bus stop for shelter.
The rest of the us guys were wet of course after getting in the car. After we went to pick Miss Huimin.
The run for the car under the rain was crazy, but it was fun. Haha.
We all decided to head down to Plaza Singapura for movie and shopping.
We bought tickets for the movie Inside Man before we went for some crazy shopping.
Huimin got her new pair of shoes at DMK to temporary wear it due to her wet shoes...
Chee Wee got his new Xtomic three-quarters at the 77th Street.
Hong Yun got his a cool black Volcom jacket at Flash N Splash
(Argh! I actually wanted to get some QuikSilver T-shirts there...)
And I got my NEW Summer Shoes! A bone white Nike Star, white-looped with orange or bone white laces!
This baby immediately caught my eyes with its weaved texture body (just the way I like it!) off the "New Arrival" shelf. Its newly arrived for about one week!
Its so damn cool, doesn't it?
; P
I actually took 31 photos of my baby, enough for a series album. Lol.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention we also went to The Chevrons Club to sing KTV that very night!
Damn it was fun!

What I Am Going To Do Next.
Boom! The big bang of new ideas and new directions seem to explode out of my heart and my mind today.
A simple question asked by my friend is answered right here and right now.
What am I going to do next?
I'm still going to stay on that current job I'm doing, and I'm really going to do it as a simple freelance
But I'm going to cut off my position away from my friends who are below me. I'm not abandoning them. I'm just relinguishing my management of them to my manager. I realised at time-to-time, I find it very hard to manage them, not to mention managing myself from doing my own business and other things I like while coordinating with them.
Its just too damn difficult. We all have very different time schedules.
The freedom of time I wanted is something I am not going to give up.
I simply do not like myself getting stuck to a way I don't like, and its depriving myself my own life.
Though I haven't start talking about this to my manager yet.
But my guess is that I'm going to wait for her return from China first cos' now she's away.
I'm not going to give up freedom of spirit for financial freedom.
I'm just not ready.
: )
I'm so glad that I thought it through.

The freedom of time I wanted is something I am not going to give up.
I simply do not like myself getting stuck to a way I don't like, and its depriving myself my own life.
Though I haven't start talking about this to my manager yet.
But my guess is that I'm going to wait for her return from China first cos' now she's away.
I'm not going to give up freedom of spirit for financial freedom.
I'm just not ready.
: )
I'm so glad that I thought it through.

Possible Plans against Boredom.
Its Sunday. And its been really quite some time that I ever stay on a weekend day for a whole day in the afternoon, I think.
But frankly speaking I never really like to stay at home.
Cos' the things I do is the things I do in camp when there's nothing to do in camp.
The only difference is the the freedom to cyber at will, from blogging (in camp cannot login into blogger.com properly one) to Friendster (in camp cannot surf Friendster).
Anyway, I was thinking of all the activities I can do to have fun in Singapore, even though some activities can be considered sensuous, senseless indulgence, adeventurous or even mundane, cos' it can also be done alone!
And these are the things I can think of to do.
Some are secrets I discover that are pretty interesting that I discovered!
1) Go visit our heritage museams and cultural centres around "Bukit Laragan"!
(from the newly renovated Singapore History Museam "OPENING SOON!", Singapore Arts Museam, The SubStation, The Arts House @ The Old Singapore Parliament, the Singapore Philatelic Museum and the Asian Civillisations Museam @ The Empress Place.)
2) Go visit to the historical places of worship in and around the town!
3) Go visit Fort Canning Park and take a look at the historical relics!
4) Go see jetplanes at the Singapore Changi Airport as well as our airport's fine interior architecture!
5) Go beach bumming at Sentosa beaches, especially Siloso Beach!
6) Go rollerblading, cycling or do 360 Degree Cable Waterski @ East Coast Park Lagoon at East Coast Park! (hmm... I also wanted to try kite boarding there, looks exciting...)
7) Go cycling at kampong Pulau Ubin!
8) Go visit our nature reserves at Sungei Buloh or Bukit Timah Hill!
(not to mention you can do adventure trekking or cycling from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve Park all the way to MacRitchie Reservoir Park!)
9) Go take a stroll at Marina North's grassy open space (where the future Marina Integrated Resort is going to be built) before its gone forever!
10) Go visit to the Singapore Botanic Gardens!
11) Go take a stroll down the Orchard Road and perhaps have some alfresco dining or refreshments!
12) Go waterski or wakeboarding at Kallang River or Punggol waterways!
Well, that's all I can think of now.
See, who says Singapore is boring?!
; P
All you need to do is to find out these treasured activities in Singapore!

When It Became Clear.
Things seems to became clearer to me now. More and more I realise that I cannot to bond to one thing I do. Its not saying that I am not comMitted.
I'm saying that I am still young. And all I ever wanted is not only just have fun, but also do many other things, activities and businesses.
After all, there's only one me, one life.
The best thing I progress and florish in is in diversity of life.
So I even though my current job outside expects my utmost commitment, I knew I couldn't promise that to my manager. Because anything else more than that is just a promise, not a commitment.
But why am I still doing the job now?
It is because of resposibilities and practicality.
I need a make money as well as improve myself.
People are depending on me there.
Altruism may be my weajness but it is also my strength.
So a little indulgence on my own freedom to explore other areas of my life wouldn't hurt, except myself.

Unable to ESCAPE!
Perhaps its all fate. Its been seriously a long time I said I wanted to give myself a break off any ONE GLASS of alcoholic drink for at least a week since like last month.
But I never seem to make it work due to some fated reasons.
The week before last week last week, I was meeting and pubbing with some old friends.
The week before last week, I was attending wedding as a "brother" for a friend, so had to "block" drink for him.
Last week I have to pub with a friend because he was down with his relationship problem.
And yesterday I bummed into a ex-army friend who ORDed quite recently and he was celebrating his birthday at a pub when I was having supper yesterday at Boat Quay.
He offered me to drink and toast for his birthday and future, so I couldn't turn down the offer.
And so I drank.
God, I sinned too much...
