Just A Change of Colours . .

Yup, just a change of a color for my blog, i duno why . . just felt the need to change something.

Duno am i getting old or something like that, tend to wonder alot of stuff nowadayz
Sometimes i look at myself and wonder . . and i doing justice to myself for what i am doing everyday . . after all we only have a limited time here on earth don't we . . when i lay down in my last hours . . can i really cross my heart and say that i have no regrets whatsoever?
How many are there in the world who can said that ???

i look at people, and i really admire those that knows what they want outta life . . but yet there are some who do not know what they want but just live in bliss . . so is not knowing exactly what you want in life wrong or are we just being complacent or are we finding a excuse when we say we are happy for the plain life we have led ?

Don't you get dumbstruck when someone ask you . . what do you want to do ??
How many times can we said exactly what we want in life or rather what we want to do with our lifes?

Many say i want to be big and successful? But how big is big ?? And how successful is successful ?? is it measured by what or how many physical possesion we can get our hands on ?? so what is it that measures success ???

I duno why, but maybe because i am being coup here in the service while my frens are out in the world proving their mettle and worth . . somehow or rather this has forge a deep urge and need to prove to myself i need to be there, in the world outside . . now i feel that my returning to the service hasn't wasted my time but helped me realise something else instead . . not to mention the new frens i have made along the way . .

Ok, so much for the serious stuff . . something to lighten the mood here . .
last Saturday saw the birthday party of my fav boiboi, i guess i don't have to mention since now everyone should know how much i dote on this boy of mine.
For his bday, i decided to make some food for mini party . . . after much tot, i decided to make some sushi, coz its one the few dishes i know how to prepare mah . . hee :) . .
well only selected few are "honoured" enuff to eat food prepared by me . . if you are one of the few, being grateful yah . . hahaha.

bought the ingredients pretty late, but lucky i was able to finish it . . mainly did crabsticks with hotdog and cucumber . . didn't know how to do too "chiem" stuff . .

oh ya . . btw he's turing 3 this year :)
bought him some toy cars and trains for him . . he's a car fanatic . . at 3 only, he can sit infront of TV and watch Thomas (the train show) and ESPN's grand prix and motorcar racing non-stop. So i guess thats the perfect gift for him . . hee :)

below are some of the pics i took for him for his bday . .


Marcus With His Presents .

Guess How old my boiboi is ?

he's enjoying my sushi

Marcus putting on his first bday candles (althou he's doing it the wrong side up) . .
his cake is a cheesecake from secret recipie . . omg it was to die for !!!!

taking a big bite from his bday cake . .

ok he just wanted to cont eating . . this was a candid shot,
kinda hard for him to stop eating his cake . .

last but not least, the "cake-on-the-face" pic .
ok, he's still bent on eating his cake . .


oh ya, only one piece of bad new . . my phone, yes that one that i have been raving about. .
its currently on its way back to japan again, YES, AGAIN . . this time the supplier didn't fry my phone while unlocking, but the batt connecter is the part malfunctioning this time, and apparantly it was the main cause the phone the being down in the very first place . . somehow or rather this desire to own this phone is dropping by the mintues . . but since the supplier is not charging me extras for the shipping and repair since it was his misdiagnosis in the first place, well i tot since i have been waiting that long already, no harm waiting further . . i am just wondering when i am able to get my hands on it . . haizz (-_-'''

errrrrr .......

Err . . i couldn't think of a title . . so i am leaving it as it is i guess . .
These 2 weeks has been a roller-coaster ride for me . . literally and "physically" because i was attached out for exercise . . .

One of our units were having their ATEC, which was a technical assessment of their combat readiness. Seeing those guys wearing the miles set seriously did remind me of the days when i was in OCS which was before i was downgraded due to injuries sustained then . . pain pain pain.

For u who dun know, its like the game Laser-quest but this time round, the indication of you being "hit" is with a siren screaming and screaming until its switch off . . Hahaha. In short, its one huge big game of laser-quest if you see it in another perspective. Hee :)

ok back to my role there . . me and the guys were to supposed to act as civilians who were now refugess of "war" . . and we were supposed to be seeking help from the "local forces" . . we would have to pester them for food, water and other amenities and their manpower umpire was to observe how they actually handle the situations that was being presented to them . .

scenario 1:

we were supposed to be supplying some information to anyone we come into contact with and observe how they handle us . . . or which i tot they should be doing. well they simply blew past us in those vehicles while me and the other "cast" were left watching their trailing dust tracks . .
(>_<) !!!!

scenario 2:

finally, we had to chance to "contact" with someone who was re-grouping in an area and we did what we were supposed to do . . but some of the answers that was given to us wasn't too encouraging.

scenario 3:

once again . . they shun us like we were either invinsible or "ghost" . . hahaha. Oh ya, this time the act was to see how they handled the media press and stuff . . didnt know how that went coz it was the others to did it . . but think they handled it ok ba . .

scenario 4-5:

these were the scenario which we had no chance to "perform" hee, coz the unit simply kept changing their advance route and so we were waiting and waiting at all the wrong sites. Total waste of time :( . . no point talking about it too . . .

scenario 6:

this time we were supposed to be civilian who was starlted by the on-going cross-fire and came out of our building to take a peek and we were supposed to be wounded in the midst of their engagement and observe how they would respond to us, we have to leave for the location in the middle of the night at around 12am?. Upon reaching there, we found out that they wun be there around 5am . . So wat were we supposed to do ??? Haizz, rushing to wait never changes in the army huh . . oh ya, i know what to do . . we are gonna go feed the mosquitos . . haizzz

at the end of the week, all of us were looking like pandas with our dark circles and deep eye bags, as well as tons of sore back from sleeping on the cold concrete ground on the training sheds.

Sore Bums from sitting in the 5 tonner that was driven by the driver for transporting us, he thinks he is doing the sequel of fast and furious (sungei gedong version) . . the ride is more rough than that of a roller coaster . . Ouch :'(

Oh apart from that, there were the mosquito bites . . :( My insect repellent did deterr the mosquito from biting me but they were flying around me the whole nite . . you can still hear the flapping of their wings (BeeeZzzzzz) . . because of that, not one night did i slept thru in peace . . Argh !!!! Urgh !!!! . . i get ballistics when i dun have enuff slp (@.@'')

Noah, you should have killed those 2 mosquito on board the ark . . . ok, i am just jokking, nature has a way of doing her stuff . . since she intended for mosquito to be there, its for a certain reason i guess, thou i can't think of any at the moment, lolz

hmm . . but during those time there, i had the chance to complete reading a book by musahi on the books of five rings, which i have lent my fren. Many of you would know him as "Gong Ben Wu Zang" . . his was a book which was similar to SunTze Art of War . . but his was more on using the surroundings to aid you in your course but it too contains stuff like deceipt to confuse ur enemy and stuff like that, i would recommend you to read it, but u must read it and abstract the gist and not everything that was written there, its the concept that is behind that is fundamental.

there is always a saying of how one is easily influence by the stuff or people around him, well i guess i can hold testiment to it coz i have been influence by the people around me, now i am more interested in to reading books, serious kinds . . and not just manga anymore . . which i think is a good change for a start . . hee :)

oh ya, last week i finally managed to finish up my last model, Strike Freedom from Gundam Seed Destiny. Thou the anime wasn't too awesome, i still like the models. Wondering when is Gaia, Atsukaki gonna be release for the 1/100 version, coz i dun like building the 1/144 models. Recently saw a new series being released, i think its called Gundam Seed, Stargazer . . hmm .. might check it out . . LoLz

After i completed my model i had the urge to take some photos . . and while i was sweeping the dusting my older ones . . i tot, i might as well just take some photos of them also . . and share it here with all of you who have come here to visit my blog :)

enjoy my hardwork, it contains blood and sweat . . hee :)

errr . . there's quite an amount . . you take your time on this .. LOLz


this was one of my first, now thinking of re-contructing it again . .

this is another pending one . .

the first models i bought from the seed series, all 1/144

the 3 different forms fo strike gundam

Blitz

Freedom hee, i added sword from strike gundam's armoury to it :)

2 Zaku, (Gunner & Blaze Phantom)

Strike Freedom

3 figurines from bleach

looking back at all these did bring back painful memories(cutting myself all the time) from when i just started using cutters to now using knifes, sandpaper, gundam markers, cutters. . and next step is to master putty and air brushes and customized stickers . . hee :)

last piece of good new, my phone, the one i have been raving about all the time. its back ! its finally back to my hands . . hopefully tomorrow . . If not next fri when i book out, pray hard for me . . .


till next time :)

50th Post \(^-^)/

wow its been quite sometime since i started this blog of mine, and now its finally had it's 50th post by me . . kinda memorable i guess . .

Ok nothing much has been happening to me . . the same usual stuff . . can't really expect much to happen since u are in the service. . . thou i am still lamenting on the monetary as well as experience "losses" that i am losing out on, but looking in another perseptive, it just made my hunger for these 2 so ever more eminent i guess . . LOLz . .

the world is so much more interesting . . come to think of it, i haven't had this urge to go out and experience the world for what it is until more recently, have i "finally" grown up ??

ok bad to some updates on myself till now, PS: excluding NS of course. . .

Last sunday went for my AHM, ran 10km instead of 21km, although i did trained up to 16km in camp, a bit of over-trained huh . . but its all for my physical well-being thou so i tot why not and went ahead with all the training. But the tot of having to start in the wee hours of the morning did seriously deterr me from volunteering for the 21km, hahaha . . thats the lazy me taking over. Flag off was around . . 8.00am from fullerton, not a bad run but i had too much people in front of me which did impede my run . . couldn't run at my pace :(

All water points were jammed up with people and i had no chance to take a sip till the very end of the route, kinda ironical coz towards the end, rain started to pour down on the runner, so eventually wat happened to a wetting of the head and a sip turned out to be a totally drenched body. Hahahaha . . Came in at around 1hr ba . . but felt could have done better if i started in front of the people instead of the back where i had to wait and wait before i could start running.

After an eventful morning, i had to now rush home asap for prepare for my dear sis's graduation at Shangri-la. Now my household has 2 degree holders all of a sudden . . still waiting to take the family potrait whenever that would be . . below are some of the pics of my sis, me and my dad as well as my cousin. Mum stun away i don't know why, we tried persuading her but she didn't want . . haizzz. The graduation was pretty fast . . due to the amount of students that was graduating nothing like mine which took ages . . . oh . . there was also a minister of the cabinet there, Mr. Lim Swee Say . . pardon me if i got the spelling wrong, he was conferred honouary something i forgot what . . * i am sorry, Hee :)*
after that we had our refreshment, err it was more like a feasting for me since i haven't had a bite since i woke up and after my run . . i was dead famish, hahahahah , after that we went around Shangri-la for more photo taking . . hee :)

finally after all that we headed back home for a well-deserved rest, *snooze time . . ZzzzzZZzz)

the following monday was a official off given by my "big boss" to the runners, so me and my camp-mates went for Karaoke at Kbox marina. The "noise-pollution" started around 2 and ended around 7pm. Sang alot of songs, that day almost lost my voice . . hahaha.
But the highlight would the discovery of XX's and Edwin's stunning vocals . . wahhhh XX's voice can reach some high pitch . . there . LoLz. i also got pics for that also . . LoLz. its all below. Truly and enjoyable day after a hectic sunday . . hee :p

up-coming events would be . . . .
40 sar's atec, i am arrowed to "act" as civilian there to make the scenario more life-like ???
