To help my twin about Jerky having to serve his NS, there are lots of things that will unexpectedly happen.. It will be a total life change when someone is serving his NS.. For my case for example as a recruit and trainee of a fire-fighter.. Life wasn't easy at all and our time spent in camp is from Sunday night to Friday evening and guess wad, its not including weekend guard duties.. Life became controlled and its tough.. We have to follow basic routines and listen to orders.. Failing to do so can result in failing to comply with order, and that can land u up into the detention barracks~! -_-..
As my recruit life goes on, i felt like crying as i always miss my family and someone that i used to like duing those days.. The worse thing is time was passing so slow when we were training under the sun.. Especially when its Monday or Tuesday.. Its only the start of the week and i already felt like booking out.. I missed my family so much that it changed my life alot.. I called my parents whenever i had the chance before lights out.. And they will always encourage me saying that Friday evening will come very quickly.. Though it didn't really help, but the fact is that time is always ticking and it will never stop.. Because of the encouragement i have from my family, i started to think positively even when its on a Monday.. Started to tell myself that the days will fly by fast as my training goes by.. During my time in the academy, there were bad times but there were also good times.. Its also one of the reasons that made me positive and got me used to the life in NS.. My mum also told me that she misses me alot and she's always very happy to see me when i come home on Friday evening.. She told me that she cried when i got enlisted into NS..(Just like you Chun~!) When i heard that, it comforts me as someone is waiting for me at home.. So Chun, all i can say is that the time will never stop ticking and i'm sure Jerky is happy to know that his special gal in his heart is waiting for him whenever he books out.. Wad more is that Jerky's recruit life is only 9 weeks altogether while mine is 16 weeks until i officially passed out..
So dun cry anymore ok? Instead, be more positive in your thinking coz Jerky is also missing u when he is in camp, training under the hot sun~! Waiting and missing for someone is good, as it makes ur heart grow fonder and stronger in the time to come.. CiaoZ~!

Bad Day On 18/7/2007
Today's my first day off and i just took a very long nap.. Could say i just woke up since i only slept like 4 hours last nite at the fire post.. Slept since noon and to be honest, i'm still a little tired.. That's how a fireman works.. We work in shifts and so those out there who are working shifts like me, good luck~! :P..
Talking about luck.. Two days ago on my second day off.. I went to IKEA with Ver for lunch since she said she wanted to have lunch with someone.. Our schedule was about the same so i took my car and drove us to IKEA from her school.. While at the junction of IKEA, i was trying to find its entrance to the carpark.. Since it was my first time driving there, didn't really know its roots of the place.. So i sort of like turning my car round and round til Ver actually spotted the entrance to the carpark of IKEA.. The problem was i drove passed the entrance while she spotted it at the same time.. So it was me who missed the turn and so according to the road over that area, u have to make a big round in order to get back to that path..(FYI, IKEA is hell big~!) We were running out of time and so i made an illegal U-turn.. And yeah, normally illegal U-turns are places where U-turning is impossible for a perfect turn.. I made that turn and never expected that my bumper in front made contact along the curb while i was making my "perfect turn".. When me and Ver heard the sound, "SCRAPP~ED!", both of us had a really bad feeling about it.. I knew it was the bumper, but Ver thought my wheel was the one in contact with the curb.. Well, that's ok.. I was also hoping that it was just my wheel.. -_-~! When in to the carpark and parked my car.. Quickly got out and ran towards the front and..............yeah.... I was like "OmG~!.. I'm gonna be minced meat when my dad knows about this.." Ver was looking from the side but she still thought it was the wheel and thinks that it still ok.. I said no and pointed to her from afar and tell her its there.. And well, she still thinks its the wheel in the first place.. I told her not to look at the wheel and look at the front of the bumper instead.. And then she was like "*breathes in hard* Oh...." -_-~!
Went to the food centre of IKEA to have our lunch.. Queue up for our turn to take our orders and at the same time, still thinking about the damage of the car.. While we were queueing up, suddenly this lady came out of nowhere and asked me whether she could start the queue right in front of me.. I told her that the queue starts fom the other side but she gave me an "I was here first" face and said.. "No, i started my queue from here as i went to get other snacks from the other side".. I gave her a "WTF" look and she sarcastically walked off saying "Nvm, its ok that u dun wanna let me start from here"... I turned back and looked at Ver.. Sadly, Ver gave me a cute look but with a "What happen" face right at me.. T_T~! Told Ver wad happen and just forget it.. But that really made my day OFF~! After lunch, she followed me up to the shopping area and i got some stuff for myself.. The car still bothered me alot though.. Went back to my car and the best part was, i didn't lock the car before we left for lunch.. Me and Ver was like.. hehE~! Luckily nothing was missing or basically, the car is still there.. Ver's laptop and my PSP was inside the car though...-_-~! We left the place and had to fetch Ver back to school.. While on the way, my PSP dropped from "height" and a "boom" sound was heard.. I felt like shit again.. And it was raining cats and dogs.. Guess its really a bad day for me..
Fetched her back to school.. Before she left she said to me "good luck".. Haiz~! Gave the car back to my mum.. Told my mum about it but she didn't lecture me and let my dad find out himself.. And yeah, today he found out but didn't really scold me.. *sigh*
Look at the red arrow~! -_-...

Effort, Time And Money Down The Drain
Just want to type this entry to share things that i've yearn for but there was nothing for me.. But i would also like to hope that if anybody have read this entry, none of them would come asking me wad happen, why or spreading this entry to anyone that i know of.. It would be very embarassing for me and i won't have the face to answer back.. I admit that i was stupid for easily trusting a total stranger and became a victim or a fool.. I've learnt my lesson and shouldn't trust people that i have never seen before.. I'll be changing my story to a similar one as i do not want people to noe the item behind it..
It all began when someone introduce me to something that i needed for working purpose.. It was made to a price that the more u pay, the more stuff u get.. For example, 100 for a single item, 200 for triple of it and 500 for as much as u can take.. It went from 2 days ago that i wanted the triple items which is for 200.. The dealer said after i transfer the money he would meet me at Compass Point which was at Sengkang 12.30am.. That was about 12am when the deal was made.. I took a cab and went all the way from home to Compass Point to transfer at about 12.10am.. Waited there til about 12.35am and he msged me back saying that he couldn't make it as it was too late.. He said that he will meet me 2 days later to pass me the stuff, which was on a Sat.. Sadly, went back by taking a cab empty handed.. Wasted 20 bucks on just the cab itself.. He said sorry for the trouble though.. The next day on Friday, i sms him asking wad would be the time to meet on the next day.. He said he will meet me tonite and he also insisted to add another 200 bucks to get the "as much as u can take" privilage.. So it was like instead of paying 500, i was just paying 400 altogether for that privilage.. It was really tempting to get it.. But i was quite reluctant to spend the money as i just got my pay and i was working on that day so i can't do any transaction.. But somehow he managed to sort of "psycho" me into paying more.. I told him that i was only able to squeeze out another 100 bucks at most.. And told him that just give me 1 more of the item if i were able to squeeze out 100, which is a total of 300 bucks and i will be receiving quadruple of the items.. He still insisted on asking me to take out another 200 instead so it would be 400 bucks for like "take as much as u want" option.. I just told him i would see about it and told him that i would transfer wad i can offer the next day coz i was working.. He said alrite and he will meet me the next morning..
The next day on Sat, i finished work and went home.. He msged me at about 9am asking me how i wanted the deal be.. I said i will transfer the money when i am meeting him at 10am.. He said ok and the meeting place was the same at Compass Point.. I had to rush down in a cab again as i was in a rush.. I transfered 100 bucks from there again.. Told him that i transfered the money already and he msged back telling me y only 100 bucks.. I said that was wad i could squeeze out from myself.. And he msged me back saying that we agreed on the extra 200 bucks for the "unlimited" offer.. I was like fuck, i didn't agree with that.. Had no choice coz when i argued a little, he msged me back saying just "sorry".. I was like alrite, i squeezed out another 100 which was a total of 400 already.. So i asked him to come and meet me at Compass Point now as i have been waiting for more than 15 mins.. Here came my first nightmare, where he msged me saying that he is meeting someone else at another place to do a deal and he requested to meet me the next day instead which is a Sunday.. I was like.. WTF~! I msged him back saying that he was the one who early morning msged me saying how i wanted the deal be and now u say that u are meeting someone else and delaying my transaction.. He replied back saying that the other buyer made the deal faster then i was.. And that buyer wanted the stuff too.. I got a little pissed off, but i knew there was no turning back.. So i told him that how about he meet up with me after when he was done with the other buyer's transaction... He said he won't have the time..I was so disappointed.. He told me he will msg me later in the night for confirmation and i went home in a cab again empty handed and frustrated..
Here comes my second nightmare, i waited til around evening and he msged me saying that he will meet me the next day but i have to transfer another 100 bucks as he couldn't afford an "unlimited" offer for 400 bucks.. I replied him saying that he was the one who said that 400 bucks was enough and now he is pulling back his words.. He said he was sorry and i there no turning back since the money is transfered.. I told him i will have to meet him tonite if i were to transfer another 100 over.. which is a total of 500 bucks i have transfered.. He thought that i was working tonite that's why he postponed it to the next day.. I said no and i'm quite free for the night.. He said alrite and i went down to my market place to transfer the money.. Told him to meet at Compass Point again and here comes the worse nightmare, his replied was "I'll meet u tml at 9am".. I was like.. pissed off again as he was delaying the time which got me irritated.. I said no, we better meet now as i dun have the time for other days.. That's when the msges all went silent.. Only half an hour later, he replied back saying the same thing, that he will meet me tml.. I said forget it and i wanted my cash back.. And up til now, my phone like went dead all the way.. Sadly, the whole story is that i was cheated 500 bucks for nothing at all..
I felt cheated and heartbroken coz i didn't get wad i wanted.. Tears came out abit but wad's done is done.. There was no turning back.. I just msged back saying that it was my blood money and he will experience the same thing one day.. So i hope to those who read this entry and as a sign of respect, will not talk about it to me or anyone.. And most importantly dun fall victim to internet scams, no matter how tempted u are for anything..

What Doesn't Kill You, Only Makes You Stronger
Been quite awhile since i last blogged.. hehE~! Busy with my friends and the environment around me.. I just had a 5 days off and today is my last off day.. Got to go back to shooting water tml.. *sIgH*! Spent alot of time with my friends coz one of them, Jerky, just enlisted today for his National Service.. He is being enlisted into The Republic Of Singapore Navy to serve his 2 years.. His girlfriend, Chun, was very depressed for days i guess.. She couldn't bear to let him go, but she has to as its for the country.. She should be proud of him actually..
Given the circumstances, he is not just doing it for himself but for the country, his family and most of all for his girl, Chun.. Veronica's boyfriend also enlisted into NS two days ago.. This time he was enlisted in The Singapore Civil Defence Force(SCDF) to serve his 2 years.. (HeHE~! The same force as me, i'll get him the next time i see him.. :P) This time, it was not Ver who cried, instead, she told me is he was the one who cried before going in.. Didn't ask the reason why he actually cried, but everything was like opposite.. >_<~! Told both of the ladies that they will do fine in NS and they will get used to it and everything will go well.. And also told them the phrase "What Doesn't Kill You, Only Make You Stronger"..
Come to think about it, most of my friends in our group has been enlisted into NS or already been serving halfway.. Its good to know that coz its like, we are like protecting the country together.. Alex and Cedric is in The Singapore Armed Forces, Ver's boyfriend and myself are in The Singapore Civil Defence Force and Jeremy is in the The Republic Of Singapore Navy.. I've got a friend who is going into the The Singapore Police Force in October.. Still quite a long way for him.. LoL~! Good to hear that we are all in different forces to protect our country.. HahA~! CiaoZ~!
