☆不能说的秘密电影主打☆

冷咖啡离开了杯垫
我忍住的情绪在很后面

拼命想挽回的从前
在我脸上依旧清晰可见

最美的不是下雨天
是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐 oh
回忆的画面
在荡着秋千梦开始不甜

你说把爱渐渐放下会走更远
或许命运的签只让我们遇见
只让我们相恋这一季的秋天
飘落后才发现这幸福的碎片
要我怎么捡

should i STAY or should i GO?

What if you had an opportunity that only arises once and you might never have this chance knocking again on your door?
What if however, it encompasses you having to break a legal bond with an institution and inconvenience many others whom acted as your surety when you took up the bond?


One fine sunday night was spent out in the wilderness, amidst the pouring rain and the numerous mosquitoes.
Both myself and a buddy had this thought...what are we doing out here in this rain on a sunday night away from our loved ones?

I've presented my thoughts about our duties to the nation but lately i've became disillusioned with the lack of autonomy and empowerment some of us have within this fine organisation.

Knock Knock...

Apologies for ye faithful readers!!!
I finally had the chance to take a break after the weekends have been burnt consecutively for the past month due to various work commitments.
It felt good not to work on a monday and even better to go shopping around on a tues!!
Heehee yay! I love shopping really.
In fact i've been commented that i'll probably outshop most women if not for my stringent savings plan! hurhur.

And so while i was out these two off days, i was actually out looking to get a new digital camera and so as i was out enjoying my day as the SLK (Sim Lim Kid), i was introduced to the Lumix FX30 camera and though on impulse i had wanted to get it right away, i decided to get back home first and do some research on it before committing on the purchase.

For those whom know me, i really SWEAR by Ca**n but i reckon up till date, the lack of improvements to their Ix*s range has really put me off.=P
For years, despite charging a real premium for their aesthetically superior design, the people at Ca**n has failed to improve on a few features which i thought was really bad in view of the other cameras out in the market.

1) Lack of a on screen battery meter... (I really hate it when the time i see the flashing low battery meter means i either have to dig out my spare battery or that i'm left with a few shots left!)

2) NO Image stabilizer... for years i've practised and perfected the 'Two hand double elbow lean on hard surface trying to be a tripod" posture for shots at night or those that required super still and steady hands. Despite this being their 4th or 5th incarnation of the Ix*s range, the good people at lovely Ca**n has yet to add in this feature into all of their product range.

3) Lastly and finally....the current model which follows the range which i've mentioned earlier has gone backwards in terms of material selection for the camera..what used to be metallic substance and style has now became plastic-icky and toy like. Good for the weight but bleh and hallelujah! if u so drop you precious camera.

soooooo..after ranting about the minus points...allow me to present...the object of my new found interest... taaaDAaaaaa!!

i've Been lazy.

Over on monday earlier this week, my workplace celebrated her Golden Jubilee.
I was glad that part of work was over, suddenly it felt as if i was back in my previous workplace before i left for studies, with all the regimental drills and all...deja vu man.

Talking about Deja Vu, lately something happened again that led me to think deeply about this theory of self fulfilling prophecy.

I'll cite just two examples as too much details bore the idle reader and also i've already had enough white hair for the time being.=)

Years ago, i was a trainee somewhere and i was hoping i wouldn't be selected for this dreaded vocation...during an innocent trip to the shops, i bought this polo tee which only a specific vocationalist would have to attend during part of his training.
weeks later down the road then, i realised that i've been selected to be posted to the dreaded wing for my next phase of training.

Now we fastforward to the current few years and a likewise situation has just occurred...
last year while i was attending a course somewhere, AGAIN i innocently bought a running singlet which beared the insignia of the impending posting which i will be headed to come this September!

On top of these two incidents, there were many others, it was to the point where i realised that this wasn't just in my mind, it was actually happening every single time!!!
Now why don't i seem to have this kinda positive mind over matter power when it comes to things like affairs of the heart, money and I'm a hero that's came to save the World?

*if you had similar experiences like mine, feel free to drop me an email or yak to me about it over msn.
I'm already feeling your vibe.=)

Weekends are so short!!!

Due to my commitments at NDP this year, weekends have became more precious then before.
Fitting everything into one sunday with no monday off in sight has tired me out, i look hagged/jaded and temperament have became more volatile then usual.

Despite all this, catching up with Nat before she flew off for her getaway in Melb was great and thanks once again for the gifts you've gotten me. Let me digest my comics first before i move on to heavier stuff like the novel.=P

Heading out in awhile to bring mum out for lunch at chinatown and at the same time visit the Buddha tooth relic temple with her.

Another wedding dinner tonight. $$$$$$$=Gone.

010706~010707

A year ago today, i awoke realizing that i've just lost one of my best troopers.
Lately, before this fateful day, i've had deep thoughts about Herng Jye again and again, i've thought about how things would be, if he was still around, as the men are about to ord and end their national service, i miss him more and more so.

Perhaps it is also due to the fact that i'm posting out soon.
Coupled with the eminent fact that i'll be disposed off as soon as NDP ends, the sour feeling creeps into my mind.
Indeed this post is one of lament....
A loss that shouldn't be and a failure to complete and put closure to this wonderful journey with the men throughout this mono.

Herng Jye, You will always be remembered.
A Brother, A Soldier and A Friend.
