michael and farrah gone in one week?!

COULD IT GET ANY WORSE?!

 i havent posted in ages, so here's some updates on life as it is...

i finally bought a ps3, after months of searching and contemplating. got a pretty good deal i think, $579 for ps3+1 controller+1 free game. have thoroughly enjoyed it thus far. fifa09 on ps3 is infinitely better than its ps2 counterpart. after payday im thinking of buying at least one more game, but not sure which... Killzone 2? Fallout 3? Bionic Commando? Prototype? Street Fighter? so many choices, so little money...

finally passed out from the CBRD course on tuesday. didnt really have the same impact as the POP in BMTC of course, consideirng i'll still be in seletar doing the same old thing come next week. it does, however, signify the coming of our long awaited priveleges. booking in later, booking in and out in civies, bringing food and mp3 players in, all this kinda shit will be available to us from now on. hoorah.

there was 'platoon cohesion' on thursday, which essentially was a 2hr LAN session over at paradiz. it was fun for most parts, except that my PS turned out to be an asshole not just in camp, but outside as well. but it was good to lan considering i hadnt done so in a while. plus i got to try the versus mode for L4D, which i hadnt tried befoer either. playing as infected is mad fun, much more fun than playing survivor imho. lanned some more after the official cohesion bit was over. fun times.

btw in case anyone was wondering why i was online for the past few days instead of slogging it out in ns, we got 3 days block leave after out POP. not much, but any freedom is good at this point...

i have just planned my life for the next ~6years. accepted NUS's FOS offer. hoping to major in Life Sciences. yay.

forgot to mention, i saw the trailer for the next Transformers film when i went to watch Wolverine. it looks AWESOME. im still not sure what sort of direction they're taking it, considering the new enemies are like 10 times the size of even Optimus Prime. and, as expected, Megatron is not dead. from the snippets shown, the action looks just too good to miss. plus, theres a scene with Megan Fox looking sexy as hell on a bike. too good to miss.

the power of subtitles, and not understanding a language..

warning, vulgarities involved!

( so I went to watch Wolverine last night... ) 

 went out yesterday with my friends from Raven. long time since i saw any of them. a month in fact. i miss being in Raven. even though the platoon was bigger, i just felt more bonded to them all than i am now to my CBRD platoon. i miss just chilling in bunk with them, talking cock, singing song, instead of how bunk life is nowadays. plus the sergeants were honestly some of the best i could have hoped for. cant believe im saying tis, but i wouldnt mind going through BMT again. wonder when i'll see them next..

talking to them also made me quite glad of my vocation too. had one friend in infantry who is just scared of his monointake bunkmates cos theyre all maniacal bullies and pranksters. oct friend gets turned out like nobodys business. tank driver friend says the tank is like a damn oven. armour infantry run like nuts. only the sispec ones seem to enjoy life, although they have a 28km march soon. 

next week will be quite siong i think. monday got test. wednesday got 4km MOPP 4 march + 2km run. walao can die sia. 

sian. 

brightened up my day



well, no hard feelings eh.

 united utterly destroyed spurs in the 2nd half. if im not wrong they did roughly the same back in 2002 or so. haha tough luck spurs. ronaldo was back at his non-pouting, dribbling-at-appropriate-times, flying best. rooney continues to carry the team on his back. tevez showed his hunger and desire for the ball. even berba looked not bad. if we play like this again on wednesday, le arse can just roll over and get ready to be fucked.

COME ON YOU REDS.

 here's some weird news...
Kal Penn, ie the guy who acted in Harold and Kumar, Van Wilder, House and Dude where's my car, is the incoming Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison.


what?!

 shaggening week. had games on tuesday. played captains ball. yay. with our gas masks on. not yay. imagine playing captains ball. with one lung. there you go. and even better, there'll be a 2km run on monday. with our masks of course. funtastic.

in other news, i just got accepted into NUS faculty of science and NTU bioscience. YAY. i feel like just accepting NUS over the weekend and getting it all over with, but the wise thing perhaps wld be to consider some overseas choices i guess. not that i rly want to.. now have to somehow find a scholarship that wants me.. a muuuch harder task for sure.

well done to kiko macheda! didnt expect him to make the rise to the 1st teamquite that fast, but i suppose one man's misfortune is anothers chance. cant believe i missed that goal tho.. sian...

2-2 against porto. what the fuck is going on?! in 4 games united have gone from an unbreachable defence to one as generous as oprah. COME ON LADS.

7 weeks to passing out. I CAN'T BLOODY WAIT.
