ramblings

argh...too much mugging over the past few days le...shall take the moment to write some things here to release so frustrations

went swimming @ SAFRA mount faber today...or at least i wanted to...until i saw 1 guy at the poolside...his body had patches of red red patches...i believe that was some skin fungal infection...but it was so bad that his body (front and back) had like 30% to 40% covered in those red patches lar! WTH! WTF! KN****B! i really was scolding these words in my head at that moment larz! i was like freaking pissed at how inconsidered this bastard can be! it was a pool for goodness sake! people swim there! those with such bad skin infections should know better than to go to a swimming pool lar! then he also rested on one of the deck chairs! argh! i condemn that deck chair forever and ever! i am still very pissed...it made me so pissed then that i could not swim...just tanned at the deck chair and read my SS notes...arghz...

p/s think i need to go on a diet...gaining fat...need to slim down...shall start from tomolo! diet! diet diet!

thursday went back to the changi airport to send off my 女儿, shuying who is going to japan for exchange for 1 whole year...hahaz...

but before the sending off...had dinner with shuying @ redhill close before we went to send zhengwei off on tues...hahaz...she was trying to get her last taste of singapore food before she went to japan...hahaz...treated her to ben and jerry's @ vivo before going to pick pg up...hahaz...

then on thurs itself...left home @ around 11pm to meet js at my void deck before driving to pick up pg and then make our way to the airport...reached there @ ard 1145...the airport was quite quiet by then lorz...hahaz...then we were the only ones together with shuying's uni frens from rovers and pru...

29th OAC!

hahaz...felt so inspired by all the blog entries that ppl wrote abt zheng wei's farewell party that day...

must really really agree that i feel so at home with 29th...this is a bunch of close close pals that have brave thru alot with me in the short span of 2 yrs!

during yltc 2003, we were tekan-ed by our seniors...but that only served to break down all individual walls...as our suffering was all common...the bonds start the form and grow...

during instructorship, we were made up of 25 individuals..and each of us is unique and have our own views and ways that we do things...but nothing is impossible with communication and cooperation...we gone thru the stage of forming the team...storming among the team...then finally performing as a team! leading this group of 24 other instructors was my honour! the bonds we had were strained...but it never broke...and it just grew stronger!

during yltc 2004, every ounce of blood, sweat and tears that each and everyone of us put into it just made us even closer and tightly knitted...even in the face of the betrayal that we felt from our seniors...we never wavered...we were there to support each other...

post jc...the guys went to ns...the girls went to uni and overseas...during this period...think all of us start to appreciate the presence of each other when they are faced with new environments and new frens...appreciate the common experience that we shared and enjoyed...

4 yrs on since the day that we all first met...i am so glad to have known this group of frens...it can be that we never see each other for long periods due to commitments...but the moment we meet...we can all just click and enjoy each other's company! crapping...suanning...talking cock...eating...drinking...k-ing...anything! hahaz...i remember shuying once said that frenships are transient...they come and go...but i am sure that for 29th...the bonds that all of us have...are here to stay! =)...it is really comforting to know that you have frens that understand u and u can just hang ard with them and forget all ur worries and stress! i have never asked other batches...but i can confidently say that 29th is one of the closest, if not the closest, batch of oac instructors ever! yay!

29th...25 of us...thank you all! =)

zheng wei's farewell party

just back from the farewell party that zheng wei threw for him (????...) hahaz...picked up tony from harbourfront initially...then while on ecp...realised that may need to pick up shuying and tze hwee and forgot to ask them if they needed the ride or not...hahaz....lol...sorry hor! =P...

today was supposed to be hc maf also...decided to attend zw's party instead...hehez...then asked shengqi to go support the oac stalls...but midway thru...she msg me that this year the balloons super ugly...then ask whether i still wanna support them or not...hahaz...since my juniors...then me as the 29th chief instructor...physically not there should stilll support them...so gave shengqi a budget of $10 to go support them...hahaz...

then today poked fun at tze hwee alot of times! wahahaz...feeling super evil...then made fun of her...wahahaz...so fun! =P...then pg was contemplating the buying of presents...then zhemin and koonz suggested setting up an oac fund that collects money regularly...then open a bank account to earn the pitiful interest...then those who never contribute wun get any present during their birthday! hahaz...super funny! then since likoon yearly allowance from saf is $15000...we all suggest that throw his allowance into the fund...then every birthday can afford a pair of fossil watch for the bday guy/gal! should have seen likoon's face then! wahahaz...spending time with the oac ppl are always so fun...very crappy...very funny...

then before we left...had a impromptu photo taking sessions...hahaz...quite fun! then on the way back...had to squeeze 6 passengers in my car! luckily is 5 girls 1 guy...so quite easily yo fit! hahaz...but during one of the humps...could feel the rear wheel "bua" against the wheel guard...must be tze hwee larz...cos she was sitting there that time...tze...too heavy liaoz...time to visit marie france bodyline! wahahaz...should have packed her into the boot...then the rest at the back will have more space! hahaz! =P...
