No I'm not that short! Raymond.hk had to find a stone to stand on... urgh....
Cool~~ NOT
strong wind blowing the long flowy hair, against a nice backdrop. Sadly, the scringed up face doesnt make good poster material...
Group Foto~~
Finally, every1 manages to contain their "excitement" and take some orderly grp pics
You sure its a Desert??

Desert Sand..

Figuring the way out~
Boundless Pinnacles Desert

the emptiness......
argh!!! my com juz blacked out on me on sat nite..... For reasons unknown to me, the scrn juz blacked out, and the com din response at all... Tried shutting off the main pwr, and turning it on again, but i was met with total inactivity.
It usually shd go thru that whole noise thing during start up followed by a beep. But now, the Desktop juz freezes.... the Pwr/Reset button only helps to turn it on, not off.. the CD-rom drives dun even response when i press the eject button..... !@#$@)#$&
These past few days have been horrible... Only now I realised how my life is so greatly intertwined with the internet.... I feel totally disconnected from the rest of the world.... So wat if I've got my handfone?? I can only tok 2 1 person at a time... and its usually some1 in aus... thats really worse coz I dun have many pple I can tok to over the fone...
Before the internet was so widely used, Handfones were the thing... Rem how u felt when ur handfone failed u?? when the batt went flat, or when u lost it and all the fone nos. u had inside...... bloody hell!! this is worse.... I cant blog freely, I cant surf, I cant chat.... piangz eh...
Lotsa pple have offered to lend me their laptops, & I'm grateful. But sad to say, the feeling is different.... All my mp3s, MTVs, movies, pictures are all in there.... sighs.....
My room has very heavy feel to it... Staying in it juz makes me feel worse... argh!!! Sernwei and allan tell me, it could be that some1 hacked into my com, or could be a virus attack... whichever it is... its definitely hardware stuff.... gotta conc on my exams now... Will fix it when exams are over... hopefully can do it myself... therwise gotta pay some smart aleck Aussie in the nearby com shop to do it.....
Even was kidding to David yest that maybe I should bring it to church, and at the end of service, bring it to the pastor, and ask every1 to pray for it... haha!! Imagine every1 coming forth and placing their hands on my desktop, and praying!! haha!!! Weird!!
sighs... if any1 of u noes any frnds who are really really good at such stuff, do help me ask ok?? at least it'll save me some time in trying to remedy it....
anyway, if u've juz came back from overseas holidaying, ICT, or wateva, do read back on some of my previous posts... lazy to repeat, and cant even do that coz no com..... I'll do the picture posting soon, once the com is up..... if it will be up... sighs..

no wonder.....
Now I know why I haven been able to blog about anything interesting or tot-provoking....
Its coz.....
Not dat it's anything surprising aye.... I've been a lazy bumming complacent slacker (yes, I'm reiterating, emphasising, restating, repeating.... in case u dun get me...) most of my life. "Not all??" you say... well, not all, few yrs ago, I was quite a driven workaholic for some unknown reasons even to myself. anw, thats besides the point.
I actually do have issues and stuff that I feel strongly about... And before u go "wat kinda issues would u have?? Gotta be joking rite", I'm not kidding. Not mundane things like the eye candies I've seen, or gossips, or even whining about life...
Even tho I wanna write about it, moreoften than not, I end up chucking it aside. It's like a flashing moment of mental chaos and intellectual stimuli, and then its back to accepting life as it seems.....
You know how sometimes, at the moment, u feel strongly about something, but when u turn ur back, it juz doesnt seem that significant anymore?? Everything juz seems like a load of crap, and u go on dragging ur feet to get through life...
That isnt very good... Somehow I feel its gonna kill my brain... I've realised that my brain doesnt seem 2b as active as it was 7-8 yrs ago.... Perhaps its because during those adolescent years, one wuold tend to ponder over many things? Or maybe its juz dat I'm really really brain-lazy rite now...
Even worse would be that I've become a stubborn adult who believes that he's figured it all out, and has attained a level of maturity to judge pple. Everything juz seems lowly inferior to me?? I hope not, coz self-righteousness is too dangerous and isolating for any individual, esp for me....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something else I'd like to share. My mom called and actually told me I could go home if I wanted to, and she'll sponsor. However, it seemed more like a half-hearted offer than a sincere and motherly gesture . This was coz she later added that it does seem kinda troublesome and pointless for me to go back, esp since the house is under renovation(upgrading by HDB)... urgh...
I tot over it, and decided that its best I dun fly home for the upcoming hols, altho my heart really longs for it. I'm prob gonna spend more $$ back home when I'm busy meeting up with frnds. On top of that, I still have2 pay the empty rent here.... & I did tell myself that I'd fly back this hols if the budget airline was up, so since its still in process, prob juz means I shdnt fly home.
Thats a confirmation, Adrian's only gonna be home at the end of the yr. For those frnds who are really irritated by my presence, you shd be glad?? hahaha
Its coz.....
I AM LAZY!!! LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY!!!

46 Bronco~ Thru Thick & Thin~~~ w/o me for now....
oh man.... all my memories of life in my army unit are coming back again... Fond memories of days when every1 stuck up for 1another. The days I went thru with my fellow sergeants, be it good or bad, are still so fresh in my head. That pain from all the suffering, & the warmth that ur camaraderies give u when they're there, are all so vivid. We all formed eternal bonds thru hardship.
Guess some of you already noe that 46SAR was an extremely ill-managed battalion(i do whine quite abit aye). Chain of commands are broken all the time, even by the authorities themselves. Lack of cohesion among the different ranks. Inconsistent instructions and orders. Trust me, the list goes on. No 1 was at fault, it was the sys, and most of the men were still veryvery immature. If u think army makes men outta boys, think again. It only makes men outta boys who wanna grow up.
I'm not being egoistic or self-centred by critising those above and below me, but the situation was so. The men wun work, and the superiors din lead. In the end, the middle management does it all. Yet, in those times of adversity(woo.. sounds kinda exageratting), all the Comds stuck 2gether...
When our men failed us, we backed up 1 another. When our superiors failed us, we all fell 2gether. We gave every1 the helping hand they needed. Some lost their strength and will to go on, some juz lost hope. But at the end of it all, every1 tried. I could nv be more proud of any1 than these pple.
Its been a yr since I ORD... A day after this faithful day, my army buds are all gonna meet up back in camp. As much I desire it, I am not able to join them. I can imagine how reluctant they are to go back, yet also excited at the same time, excited at the chance of meeting each other again. I know that they're worried about how the sys is gonna let them down again, and how history would repeat itself. However, I also noe that deep within, they noe that they have 1another to count on. This may sound ludicrous, even to myself, but I sincerely wanna do reservist. At least my heart tells me so.
Going thru it with friends whom you've grown to trust and depend on over 2yrs, rather than with a bunch of strangers. Perhaps I'm juz stubborn, and dun wanna move on, but its juz how I feel... The bonds have been forged, how am I to let go so easily...
Reality bites... Its staring right at me, and I've gotta face it... I'll nv be able to brave thru mountainous tracks with my band of brothers again... Those days will live 4eva as memories... Mere memories....

Exams Coming!!!
argh! Exams are so NEAR! I can already picture the scene where I'll be walking into the exam venue, all jittery and lost.... chamz.... but still there isnt any sense of urgency, and I dun feel that impending fear.... Really too immune to such stuff... not good for me... and it doesnt help that I'm not stupid.
I'm not saying I'm really bright or inteliigent, but over the years I've realised that I smart enough to survive academically with minimal effort. I'd still flunk w/o any effort, but if I put in that little bit, I still manage to pass. I'm not smart enough 2b a genius, but I too smart for my own good... Kinda complements(or help breed)my complacent attitude.... haha! I'm a gonner!
Actually had these few stuff I wanted to do for the blog :
oh well, only managed the 1st, coz this song has been in my head the past few days.... Ju replaying and replaying and replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying & replaying
You get the picture rite? if not here's a better written illustration of my mental state,
haha, its a nice song~~~ din noe it was by Jet, esp when I only knew one of their songs "Are You Gonna Be My Girl".
oh well, enjoy it~~ Off to sleep now~~
